I tists or any one else reason in th« »arae way?

j Aad what might we not prove to be Scriptural

by such a mode of reasoning as this? As, for

instance, I might assert that circumcision is

abrogated, and infer th f l Riilroads and mag-

why might I not as ^e l l be allowed to make

2. Alethia may, like his old Ma s l m a , argue

that Christ has given aui iori iy to the Church

to Ail entile satisfaction make infant baptism

"Scriptural." Now, Alelliia, choosc which

to spell immerse, ^ - l l a specific avord ; .when

u?ed to spell poor, they spell anoiher deiinite

word, and when used to spell sprinkle, they

spell still another aad different word," i c . —

Such is Alethia's- Hiode of r e i n i n g on the

word Baptizo. And I might ask, " is not this

decidedly rich?.' ought not such a pro-

found .critic as my learned friend A.lethia, to

have a situation in one of the tirst Colleges of

For tha Baptist

B k o t i l e r G r a v e s ;—You were kind enough

to publish, in your paper of the 2d insL, a

short communication in which I noticed, brief-

ly, a false publication in the Methodist .Advo-

cate of June loth, in relation to myself, signed

by Joel Peak, a Methodist cirtniit rider, of

Simpson county, Ky. I n that publication Mr.

Peak, wishing to injure my character, has

greatly misrepresented Ihe facts relative to my

connection with llie Methodists. With your

pi rmission I w ill now give your readers a plain

statement of the facts.

notic<- in the Tennessee RapUst of the

4th February last, of my joining Oie Baptist

church after having beeo a member of the

Methodi.st cburch, seems to have called forth

that publication, in commenting on the notice

in your paper the writer hiis. for motives best

known to hirnseTf, made several false state

menLs. Alluding to my joining the Baptist

church, he s.iys:

" A s this wonderful affair happened in the

bounds of my work, it may not be amiss for

mo to say a few things aboat it. This 'trophy'

to ihe Baptist cause, whom they call 'a Meth-

odist minister,' was not even a licen.sed preach-

er in our church at the timOjjf his wonderful

'conversfon' liy the Baptists. The facts in the

case are about as follows: This man, over

whom they boast as a 'trophy,' joined the

Methodist church some fifteen years ago; was

licensed to preach some eight years ago; had

bis lirense renewed three years; and tlien, upon

an investigation into his gifts, capacities, and

use&ilness as a pFeaicher, the conference re-

fused to renew bis license. l i e then went to

Missouri, and after an absence of some short

time, returned with license to preach; but the

brethren in this country knew he could not

preach, and hence they utterly refu.sed to re-

new his Hcensc; and after repeated efforts to

get his license renewed, and as often f-iling,

he flew off in a pf t and joined the Baptists.—

Now, here is the secret of his wonderful 'con-

version.' l ie has no talent to prcach, and yet

he was perpolually harrassing the conference

for license to do that which he is utterly inca-

pacitated to Jo. W h y ; Air. Editor, he will

hardly do, I ihmk, even for a Baptist preach-

er; for I supp3.se he will not be able at any

one place to command a congregation more

than once oj- twice, if it is k-nown that he is to

be the speaker." n ^

I b the above extract Mr. Peak says he gives

the facts in relation to my connection with the

Methodists. And Mr. Peak is a Methodist

preacher, and should have told the truth, if he

did not. In order that your readers may judge

whetlier he did or .not, I will give the circum-

stances as Aey transpired, as nearly as I can,

in a brief manner.

I t was ia the State of Missouri that I was

first licensed to preach. ( I t will be recollected

that Mr. Peak said I was licensed in Kentucky

three years; lliat they were then taken from

me, and that I then went to Missouri.) On

my return to Kentucky the conference renew-

ed my license .up to the time of my going to

Virginia; at which time I took a later of re-

commendation from the society. A t the last

conference for that year i l was proposed to re-

view my license agnia, when the Presiding El-

der was told- that I had gone to Virginia.—

Upon this information he declined having any

action on it, sta'ing that i t would be illegal for

the conference to act upon it, inasmuch as I

had taken a letter from my society, and was,

therefore, not a member of the conference.

But it vras kBOT» by the conferoice that dierc

was no otber barrier in ^ e way, and it was.

imderstood tha<t when I returned and handed

i ivmy Utter, the coDfetenM wa» to renew my

liceose, O 9 n ; i c t o n borne J ^ - j o B s d d w

I will now notice his article more minutely.

He says: " A s this wonderful affair happened

in the bounds of my work, it may'not be a-

miss for me to say a few things about i t . "—

Jfot at all amiss if he had not riolated one of

Qod'.s commandments: "Tium shall not lear

faUe utiiness against thy neighhor." He says: ;

"This man was licensed to preach some eight I years ago; had his license renewed about three

years; and then, upon an investigation into his

gifts, capacities and usefulness as a preacher,

the conference refused lo renew his license.

He then went to Missouri." Now, there is not

one word of truth in this. I n the first place,

I was not licensed before going to Missouri ;

and secondly, the conference did not refuse to

renew my license. I t certainly could not rt

fuse to renew my license when I had none. He

then says: I "returned with lipense lo preach,

but the brethren in this country knew lie could

not preach, and hence they utterly refused to

renew his license." This is another one of his

many falsehoods. On my j-eturn from Mis-

souri the "brethren" did not, as he says, re-

fuse to renew my license; but they did renew

them up to the time of my going to Virginia.

And tliey would have renewed them longer,"

but I had taken a letter fromirjny socieiy, and

was out of the Stite. Now, what think von

of his assertion m the last quotation?

He furthermore says: " A n d after repeated

efforts to gel his license renewed, and as often

failing, he flew off in a pet and joined the

Baptists." This is another calumny. Before

leaving the Methodists I consulted in a broth-

erly manner wi h the preacher in charge of the

circuit and the class-leader of the socieiy to

which I belonged, and upon consultation it was

thought it might be best for me to withdraw,

which I accordingly did, taking a letter of re-

commendation.mth me. Vet this daring slan-

derer asserts that I left the Methodists " in a

pet." I ask", do the facU sliow it?

Againhesays: " H e has no talent to f reach,

and yet he was perpetually harrassing the con

ference for license to do that which he is ut-

terly incapacitated to do . " I hope your read-

ers are now prepared to judge whether I har-

rassed the conference for license or not. ITie

truth is my name was never before the confer-

ence of Kentucky but once for license Iv

preach, except the times to which 1 have al-

luded, when, probably, the matter was laid

over onse or twice. I did not tirge it, and

there was never any action on it. I n the va-

rious actions on the case. I have never heard

that there was a word said about lack of "gifts,

&c . " as this accuser would have his readers

believe. They may hav« had this objection,

but it was not mentioned in conference. As

(o my capacities, as one of (rod's ambassa-

dors 4 leave that with H im, and those who

know rae best to decide.

I would say to my ftiend Peak, you have

Mted. towards me in a manner nn.becoming a

gentleman, professing to be oalled to preach

the Gospel of the-.God o f all grace and truth.

I think yoa have slandered me enough while

passing around your circuit, without following

it up in the Na^v i l l e -Advocate. Now, my

dear sir, what can be your motive for pursuing

a course-of this kind? Have I ever injured

your character, pgrsonxw property? In con-

clusion. I heartily desire you to repent of.your

The above, Mr. Editor, is a-true statement

of my connection with the Methodists from the

time I was licensed ia Missouri l o preach until

they refused to give me license in Alien coun-

ty, Kentucky. J now leave it, jiot only to any

candid miud, but to the oonscient%>ns members

of the Methodist church to say whether or not

Mr. Peak made correct statements.

i t t ^ l d make this article too lengthy for

me to undertake to explain how I got into

those diBleulties with the Methodists. Befiwe

I dose, however, I would say that ihey either

have too many rules, or that many of their

-preachers violate them oftener than they should

do. I charged this home upon them, and

hence Uiose difficulties. While reading some

of your "Letters to Bishop Soule , " I was (pr-

, M t F r i e r d J . ' H . B . : — I t may be thought

by some tha t the views presented in the former

letters', are" ihtfonsTslenl wi th t h e Misstonsfry"

obligat'ions o f the churches of Christ . This

supposed inconsistency is, in fact, made one o f

the most formidable obl igaUons to wha t are

called Mi l lennar ian doctrines, or the doctrine that

" t h e kmgdoms o f this w o r l d " wi lFnot become

the k ingdoms of our Lord Jesus Christ till he

makes his appearance in the clouds of heasei*.

I mus t s^ty, however, that I can see no incon-

sistency. I f t h e church is commissioned" to

-coo ren the wor ld , as j iogaesuppose^then .there

is no inconsistency. Bu t this is assuming too

m u c h for tSe charch . "Her Lo r d nevCT gave

her s u c k a,coBn^B»iDn. Fa r from it. She is

commissionedto"i>rw(!4 gospel. This is her

business. Tli is constitutes the miasiunsry ob-

l igat ion o f the S iu rcL . Her Great H e a d re-

quires no th ing more of her. T o convert the

world is not her province. She is inadequate

to such a work. This however will not be de-

nied by the most strenuous advocates of the

world's converaionf They recognize the in-

sufficiency of mere h u m a n instrumental i ty ,

and hope for an c ier t ion of divine power equal

to the mcessit ies o f the ca.Ne. Bu t the exer-

tion o f this power, to crown with universal

success the missionary efforts of the church is

no where promised in " i h e Scripture's of truth. '

A s I have said elsewhere, the hope of the

world 's conversion is no where presented as an

incentive to the universal publ icat ion of the

gospel. The apostles a i d pr imit ive disciples

knew no th ing of this i a ^ n t i v e . A n d ye' they

dispLiyed a mi.^sionwy real , self denial , and

beneTOlence, lo which christians of thi-> age

are strangers. They labored to make known

the riches of Christ , under no visionary hopes

of success. They knew that their testimony

would be rejected by the great majority of their

hearers. T h ^ knew that divisions would oc-

cur , tha ' errors would abound , that apostacic-s

would take place, and that after centuries of

evangelical effort, the world wou ld present the

same mora l characteristics that it did in the

days of Noah , Tbey knew that "per i lous

l imes would-eome, that tbe love of many would

wax cold, because of abound ing in iqui ty , but

notwi thstanding the g loomy prospect, they sa-

crificed home , and wealth, and station, and

• counted noi their lives dea r , " that they might

carry the gospel to " reg ions beyond . " Tha i

was the true missionary age of tbe c hu r ch .—

A n d the men o f that age were the missionary

heroes of ihe church ; they were men of faith,

uf prayer, o f world wide sympathies and ex-

pansive benevolence They preached the gos-

pel beoause Christ conimanded them to preach

I t ; they ha.stened from land to land , and from

ciiy to city, on their missionary tours, becaust-

the loi'e of "Christ constrained them. They

strove " b y all means to save some . "

N'ow, if a knowledge of the fact, that tlie

world would not be converted by the gospel,

d id not deter the apostles and their co laborers

from tbe most extraordinary efforts, to give

the gospel to the nations o f the earth, why

•should this knowledge at the prcsi-nt day have

such a disastrous intluence as many suppose?

D o we need greater motives than the apostles?

Ha s the c ommand of Christ lost its force? has

the love of Christ Jost its constraining power?

A n d yet many se#m to th ink , that if the world

is not to be converted before the Adven t of

Christ , we had better call home our missiona-

ries. break up our benevolent organizat ions,

arrest our power presses, suspend Bib le cirrn

lation, stop the tide of Christ ian sympa thy ,

and fold our arms in idleness whi le myr iads ot

immorta ls hasten unwarned to eternal death.

S i thought no t t he apostles.

W h e r e can you find a chi ist ian pastor who

is encouraged lo preach the gospel in any city,

town, or country, with the hope of general or

universal success? Y o u can find none such.

A t best, he hopes to be instrumental in saving

some. Bu t i f he loves Christ and loves the

souls of men , he will faithfully preach the gos-

pel to as many as will hear , though he has rea-

son to fear that in many cases, i t wil l prove " a

Saviour o f death unto d e a t h . " Christ said to

his bearers, '-Ye wil l not come unto me that

ye m a y have ' I i fe . " The same is true n o w . —

Men are Just as depraved, jus t as much oppos-

ed to the gospel, just" as fond of dark-ness, and

just as little disposed to yield ;lo the claims of

s p i r t m l Christianity. They still occasion the

servants o f Chr is t to exc la im, " W h o ha th be-

lieved oar report? A n d to whom is the arm

of the Lo r d revea led?"

B a t whether m e n will hear or forbear, the

man who is called o f God to preach the gos-

pel, mus t preach the gospel. H i s abl igat ion

to preach does not spr ing from his success, bu t

from the call o f .God. So wi th cTiufches.—

-They iEtre bound b y their relations to Christ ,

and by h is special command to make known

the gospel to others. The i r ' " f ie ld is the

wor l d . " -And ,to the u tmost o f their abi l i ty

they are bound b y the h ighest author i ty in the

universe, to t ravers i that field o f dea th , and

proclaim eternal l ife in the n a m e of a crucified

and rist'rf ftiviour. I f they fail to del it, they

are f ahe to their L o r d ; and false to h uman i t y

in ru ins . Every converted rnsn is the centre

o f christian inf luences; a n d what is true of

chnrches, is true o f i nd iv idua l Christiana.—

" E v e r y man livfeth not an to himself.-" He-

must live for others. H e m a y often fail in his

plans, and seldom realize a l l h is c la ims ; still

he mos t l ive for others. A n d it shotild be said

of h im , as it was said o f his Redeemer , " H p

went about do ing g o o d . " "

I cannot dwel l l onger tipon this subject , but

I trnst enough h a r beea said, t o show that the

views expressed coneeming the conversion of

the wor ld , a re not inconsistent w i th the obliga-

tions o f t he cEnrch to preach the gospel to alt

nat ions.

sideration, and yet another that will manifest

itself ere I am through.

I t w l iunentably I tue that a cr imina l ignor-

ance prevails a.s to the duties of D j a cnhs in all

grades of cteareb- members , fronj- the lowest

intellect t b ^ ^ m s no th ing but a p lace. in the

church, to the minister, overseer, or pastor.

A n d it ia equal ly true that there is but little

wish or incl inal ion to acquire informat ion on

th i s—to the prosptr i ly and success o f the

chu rch—very inaportant f ub j f c t , ,

I n Brother Buck ' s outset I a m decidedly

WiUi h i m , and believe that there are now b u n

dreds f i l l ing the very important and responsi-

ble ofii je of Deacon that would not even know

.that it was their duty to secure a nd prepare

the elements and then when c o m m u n i n g hand

them round, if they lla^ not seen their Fathers

do so. Poor men, they h i v e not an idea of

their own; and if by chance the psi-stor has

their contieoce, and directs them t<i the dis-

<rhftrge of any du ty , they do it and know no

more of the why, for its per lormauco than an

idiot for his idloj-y. O f all men thi« side tlie

realms of eternal bliss such »re the inost con-

fessedly happy—not a thought to nifll!; their

placid bosoms!

These remarks bring me to the vt ry o'ljec-

uon-iblo features in Brother B . ' s article: " I t

never occurred to them tha t tho i r offire was an

•ippcndage of the p a s t o r s h i p " I t never so

.iccurred to mi"; and it is a matter of no little

surprise to me that it ever so occurred t i the

di-ep ^nd penetrating m ind of this venerable

iind aged Divi ia ' .

An appendage is, " someth ing added to a

princip:il or greater t h i n g . " (Wt-t.ster.)—

W h a t l igh t had the apostols to create, arrange,

or appoint app tn lages to the pastoral office?

WiiS not the office of bi.^hnp, pastor or over

-fetr of Div ine appointment , Rnd con icquent ly

complete, needing no spostolic appendages

any mo ie th^n appendages of the I 'ope of

Rome? In ihis nr-i'u r Brother Edi tor I mu-<t

[»kc a position, poles wi !e, from tlu-t of Bro-

ther B , an>l I tiiki- it too from the Scriptures

Div iue truth, and so long as I can stand on

them I am safe

III the early history of the church when all

was common stock, of neeessity there was an

onerous du iy impos-.l upon the apostols, one

ihat did not properly belong t j t h e m — b u t one

to which they had subra iUrd—and doubtless

ine t hm they thought but verv littie about ,

(•on?equenll> they neglected it, and heni~e arose

ihu Hellenist or ( rt-ci.aa m u r m u r i n g bec.iuse

their widows were ne^lecu-d In the dai ly m in

istration.

This compla in lag at ou.--e .iroused the apos-

tols, and we he.ir them irnmediately declar ing

iha'. it is not rij^ht—it is not reasonab le—it is

par i of our d u l y — w e will be culp.-iblc in

the sight of our M;is'.er if we leave the word

of God to .serve uiLIec. I t is our unquestion-

able duty to be at all t im .^ engaged in prayer,

and teaching the blesstd tru'.hs of tbe Gospel;

therefore we canrtotcome down to seive tables.

Besides wu arc ovtrseeri over your souls, your

spiritu \1 interests, and this is a matter g row ing

)ut of Your bodi ly interest.-—your temporal

iifl^irs, with which we have i!u:!:ing to d o— i t

belongs t i c lus ive ly among yourselves—there-

fore look ou'. from a m o n g you , serve honest

cUristi.^n men in whom you can place impl ic i t

confidence, and we will j . l i ce i b em over this

matter.

The church at once seeing the force of the

apostols' reasoning, and tbe correctne.'is of their

premises, acted, which resulted in the estab-

lishing of the Deacon ' s office and the election

of the seven »s directed. Now , Brc ther Edi-

tor, the duties of a Deacon are p la in— to serve

taUes—and the power of their of f ice— ip make

just d is tr ibut ion—so that one may not suffer

while another has more than an abundance .

Their duties, unchanged , remain the same

t« this day ; with no abrogat ion o f power .—

They yet have the arrangement , managemen t ,

and control of all tbe temporal aflairs of the

church—yrf to serve tables-^and yet to make

just distribution. Then it was to lake change

of the common stock, and so arrange and dis-

tribute it r.s that the Hellenist widow or any

of the poor of the church m igh t not suffer;—

that the table of the Bishops or Eiders who

gave their whole t ime and attention to the min-

istration of the W o r d , m igh t be supp l i ed—in

all cases where there was lack, lo supply it

from the common slock So yet it is their d u

ty ta take charge of the common stock, and so

arrange and distribute as that the widows of

the church and other poor shall not suffer need

—see that tbe Piistor's.taWe is veil furnished

'—h is fami ly comfortably and decently clad—

his children thoroughly educated—that he have

a well furnished Library, from which to enrich

his m ind on all subjects that may advance his

usefulness as a minister, interest his church

and congregat ion, and n l t imate ly promote the

glory o f God ,—fu rn i sh h im with the means

o f travel ing, arid money to contribute lo all the

boB&volent objects o f Christianity. I q all eases

where thtre is lack to supply it f rom the com-

mon stock

Their whole duty , then, m a y be summed up"

in Brother B ' s l anguage , " t o provide the

means to meet al| the ordinary espeDses of the

church ; to see that the Pastor 's salary is

prompt ly pa id ; the poor sought out and sup

p l ied; the contract with the sexton friirly cotn-

plied with, and wood and l ight p r ov i ded . "

I n this mach I am compel led to agree with

Brother B . , bu t . f anhe r than this I cannot con-

cede—for the Wo rd o f God wil l not sustain

his position, a n d the teachings o f men are

no th ing with me when they contlicth wi th the

teachings o f Ood ' s Book

I have read the Scriptures attentively and 1

trust prayerful ly on this subject, a ad I" mus t

confess tha t I cannot find Ihe Scripture tha t

requires the Deacon , in t ionnection with the

Pastor, " t o superv ise" (oversee) " a l l the inter-

that the saints will perseveri? th rough grace

and never fall finally aWSy. ' (See Minutes

p. 2, 1848.) Under this Constitut ion E ld . L .

l ived two years, and when the Associat ion a-

dopted the " A r t i c l e s " as laid down in tbe En-

cyclopaidia of Rel ig ious Knowledge , he was

the Moderator o f tbe body. H e was also on

a commit tee with Elders M a y s and Coker to

examine the "Let ters and Articles o f F a i t h "

o f new churches app ly ing for admission into

the body in I CS I . (See Mimi tes pp. r,, 6 . )

There is still another mystery connected with

this matter which is this; h ow such men as

Elders Mays , Morrel l and Byars and others

who hate the doctrine o f aposlary as the Apos-

tle did the doctrine o f the Nicolai tanes, (see

Rev . 2: 15 , ) have ever recoromended hrm as

a suitable Missionary for the T . R . Associa-

tion, and also to the patronage of the Baptist

Sta le Convent ion of Texas for several years,

is passing strange- The wriler cannot possi-

bly th ink for a moment that they ever sus-

pected h is unsoundness unti l recently, or at the

farthest last fall or winter, since wh ich t ime be

has been discontinued as their Missionary and

also as Moderator o f the Association.

I n the fall of 1850, I bccame acquainted

with E lder L . , du r i ng which t ime we have

been together in five Associntions and twice

in our State Convention, and on one occasion

we were ten days in a meet ing together, and

never unti l a short t ime -since did hear or

d ream of his unsoundness in the precious doc-

trine of the " f i na l perseverance of the saints

through grace unto eternal l i f e , " as is he ld by

the Baptists not only in Texas but throughout

the wor ld , from the days of Christ and the

Apost les down to the present t ime.

There is a grare mistake some where, and

the brethren desire the l ight . A n d a simple

and plain exjilanution in view of all the facts

from. Elder Ledbetter is due to the Triniiy Riv

er Association, and likewise to the Slate Con-

vention, for P a m certain that cach Of these

bodies won l d have greatly preferred tu have

thrown their taoney into the sea sooner than to

have g ivea it to h i m or any other man to

"preach and to propagate such an awful heresy

as " f inal ; .apo?t8cy."

B r o . G r a v e s : — V o u , together with all lovers

of the Lord and his cause, will be gratified to

bear of his g i e a l goodness lo us, in this fiart

of the field o f labor. The breth.^en of tbe

H ickory Grove Church resolved near the close

of last year, lo bui ld a house for the Lord ,

which w-as ready for them at the last J u l y meet-

ho ld a meet ing of days in Augu s t—a l s o re-

solved \JO have a weekly prayer-meeting, in

order to pray for the visitations o f God 's Spirit

to comfort and strengthen their hearts, a n d

m j i e effectual the means of grace to the sal-

vation of sinners. The revival commenced

before tbe t ime for the protracted meet ing ar-

rived.

Brotherly love ami deep anxiety for the sal-

vation o f sinners were manifested i n the pray-

er-meetings. This arrested the attention o f

the spectators, and aroused serious reflection in

their minds . The meet ing commenced . The

Lord was with us, and the place soon became

sweet am i awful on account of his presence.

Tlie Ho ly Spirit wielded the sword. M a n y

were cut to the heart, and ci ied for pardon ing

mercy—t l iey were directed to look to Jesus,

the sinner's Fr iend and Saviour . The hearts

of God ' s dear chi ldren were filled to overflow-

ing with love and j oy , and borne on the pin-

ions o f F a i t h—the i r souls were lifted above

the perishing objects of t ime , and their affec-

tions placed npon the endur ing th ings at God ' s

r igh t hand . O , it was a h appy t i m e — a t ime

never to be forgotten!

I canr.ot tell the exact number of hopeftil

conversions; bu t sixty came forward and told

us w h a t great th ings the Lord h ad done for

t hem , an(I..were, upon a profession of their,

faith in Chr is t , immersed in t h r grwtt n ame of

the Fa ther , Son and Ho ly Sp i r i t—abou t twen-

t ^ . two of these were y o u n g men a nd ytinths.

TWa was a moe i ing o f great solemnity from

first lo last, and all the members proved their

faith by their works ; punetua l ly a t tend ing ,

and l iberally prov id ing for the cont inuance o f

the meet ing.

Ljir.ncc o f "ihe history of cur little church, i c .

W e were constituted in'.o a church in the

year 185oi Bro. J o hn Mil ler took the pastoral

care for tvrelvc mon ths , but b e i n i a missiona-' o

ry for this Association, .ind h . iv ing a sickly

family, he [could not give-ibe attention that was

due a n e v ^ constituted church, in consequence

of •whichai-e church did not prosper, even for

the Associational year of 1B51 ; at the expira-

tion of which our much beloved pastor emi-

grated to the West , thus leaving us wi thout a

pastor, and those who have been appointed

missionaries for this Association ( Muscle Shoal )

hav ing neglected us , the church became almost

extinct : out, through the mercies of God and

the solicitations of one or (wo of the almost

disconsolate members , we succeeded in getting

a mon thh " appointment , and bad three meet-

ings ; and at the third, which was on the first

of September, we commenced a protracted

meet ing, which l.asted thirteen days, and re-"

suited in tbe addit ion o f twenty-t iree to the

church , eleven of which were received by a

relaLion ofj tbeir experience, and were buried

with Chri^L by bapt ism.

V o u c-aij mere fully anticipate my feelings,

cute your efforts in establishing the truth and

expos ing error. P ray for us, for we are in the

m ids t of Method ism, Campbe l l i sm , .and Pre-

de.stinariani5m, and probably worse than ai l , a

wilderness of sin and degradat ion.

BSQTUSB. GRAVES:—Permit me through your

paper to call aUention to the N e w Testament

Minior. This is a remarkable" pamting, the

whole work of which, by contract entered into

between Mr. A . Grinewald, the Artist, and M r

R. J. Rnjsel, joint proprietor, both citizens oi

Brownsville, West Tennessee, was done in our

village, and most of it under m y immediate

inspection.

The painting presents in figures as la.'ge as

life, on several thousand feet of canvass, the

most of the remarkable events in the life of our

, blessed Saviour, from the annunciation of the

' Messiah by the Angel Gibrlel, to the resarrec-

i tion.

• Before seeing the painting, yon may strain

; yanr fancy to the highest pitch, ami yet when

you shall have exainined it, yon will eay, you

had no conception that an artiit could pos-'tbly

have made the scenes so vivid, and eo near to

life. ' ,

In many of the chara^iters, yotj readily catct

the very words which the artist has designed

they ahonld ^ m to utter.

SiTtTRDAr, Oct. 7, 1854.

BaoTHsa GaAvis:—To-day in onr^ Confer-

eace meeting the-following preamble and reso-

ktions were unanhnonsly adopted:

WHXBEAS, Alexander Campbell, BOW enr

gaged in a controveiiy with oar Bro. Graves,

^ the Tennessee Baptist,; makes a statement

?a his :Efaihinger to thia'efect, "that the Bap-

^ Ohmches xif West Temessee and th^Mis-

isters thereof are disposed to iavor his, i- « .

Campbell's posidQa taken in this eontrover^f

and c ^ a z ^ the Baptists iiv^Ow sectien of our

cmmtry o f believing and. a d v o c a S i ^ ^ htrety

^t Baptist^ re^ne^tion ; |]>eiefin^.-

; ^ l l ^ ve , the Bi{«iat ehoreh of

O v m s i i ^ do^litfk^ v n ^ a t b x i a n d T e s

See ; and (with the two exceptions of the Ca

thedral of Milan and the sect of the Baptists,

a few drops tif water are now the Western sub-

btitute for the threefold plunge into the rush-

ing river, or the wide baptUteries of the East.

" A n d when fre descend from the adminis-

tration itself of the sacramental elements to

ih( ir concomitant circumstances, still the same

contrast appears. In the first age of the

CLurcli it was customary for the Apostles to

lay their hands on the heads of the newly.

hapLized converts, that they might receive 'the

gifts of the Spirit.' The -gifts' vanished but

the custom of laying on the hands remained.

It remained, and was continued—and so in the

Greek Cburch is still continued—at the bap-

tism of children as of adults. Confirmation

is. with tbem, simultaneous with the act of ihe

baptismal immersion. But the Latin Church,

whijst it adopted or retained the practice of ad-

mitting infants to baptism, soon set itself to

remedy the obviuHS defect arising from their un-

consduus age, by separating and postponing,

and giving a now life and meaning to tlie rite

of confirmation. The two ceremonies, which

in the (Jreek Church are indissolubly conlound-

ed, are now, throughout Western Christendom,

by a salutary innovation, each made to min-

ister to the edification of the individual, and

completion of the whole bsptisma! ordinance."

The value of these concessions is not depre-

ciated by the evident desire of the reviewer to

vindicate the propriety of the changes made

by the L « i n Church. H e admits that "the

very meaning of the word [baptism] wag com

plete immersion." Immersion is therefore not

a form of baptism : ic is baptism itself: it is

the very ordinance prescribed by the Head of

the Church. The Latin church and those sects

who have followed her example, have substitu-

ted something which Christ has not command-

ed, in place of his own ordinance. This is

what ihe admission of the reviewer amounts

to. " T h e requirements of a Northern climate,

the change of manners, the convenience of

custom"—or in other words, a dread of cold

water, a criminal regard t.i worldly opinion, a

weakness of personal indulgence—have been

permitted to abrogate un ordinance of Chriati-

The reviewer further admits that infant bap-

tism has an "obvious defect arising from the

unconcious age" of its subjects. There is need

of " a salutary innovation" In order to the per-

fection of the ceremony. Is not this a virtual

admission that infant baptism was not institut-

ed by Jesus Christ? Or are we to attribute to

I the author of our religion an ordinance con

N E W YORK, Oct 7, 1854.

BsoTUEa GRAVES:—I left home on the 29th

alt. to altend the Bible Union in this city. The

first Lord's day in this month I spent at Cov-

ington. Ky . Brother Helm, as you are aware,

has just settled there as Pastor. H e is much

beloved, and 1 think his prospects of useful-

ness are quite Battering. I heard Lim preach

an admirable sermon on »'Doing Good." It

was plain, forcible and faithful Such ser-

mons cannot be preached in vain. . It does not

become me to refer to myself e-xcept so far a?

to aaj that I shared the day's labor with Bro

Helm.

O n Monday the 2d inst., in company with

my traveling companions. Brother and Sister

Asher, of Warren c a , Ky . , I left Cincinnati

and reatAed Philadelphia the next evening. L

was treated with so much kindness by -the

brethren I saw, that I regretted m y inability

spend some days in the city of brotherly

love. "The Philadelphia Baptist Association

was in session, and I fully intended to look

upon the venable body; but a long conversation

between Brother Brown and myself prevented

my so doing. It seems now to be understood

that Brother B . will write a Church History.

I hope his valuable life will be spared that he

may accomplish so important a work. I know

of no man better qualified to do it. His phi-

losophical discrimination will answer an im-

portant purpose in distinguishing true from

fahe churches. This has never been ade-

quately done by any church historian. This,

at least, is my opinion.

In the afternoon of the 4th insL I left Phil-

adelphia and in a few hours arrived here —

Accepting Brother Baker's kind invitaUon I

tooklod^ngs with him at Williamsburgh, and

at once felt myself at home. H o w pk-asant,

at home, but especially a thousand miles from

home to meet old friends!

O n the Sth inst. the»Bible Union met. Dr.

Con presided with his accustomed efficiency,

ease, and dignhy. H e is a venerable specir

men of the gentleman and the christian. The

"archers have shot sore at h im , " but" he is un-

hurt. It was predicted that his Revision sen-

timents would ruin bis church and scatter his

congregation. The church, however, now

numbers five hundred and sixty members, and

the congregation is perhaps the largest Pro-

testant congregation in the city. Truly the

Lord preserves those who trust in him.

The Bible Union waa numerously attended, j fessedly defective and unmeaning?—Southern

and its business transacted with the greatest I ii' ptist. ^

harmony I have never before seen just such

a meeting. Its opponents, as Dr. C. remarked

ia his opening address, now regard the Union

a "fixed fact."

Its receipts the past financial year amount-

ed to about tMrty-sU t/iousand dollars, and

Eubscriptions in Life Directorship, Life Mem-

bership, &e . , amount to ene hundred and forty

thousand! This is surely encouraging. The

work of Revision is going on slowly but,

think, surely. I am much pleased with the

revision of Matthew so £iir as it has been

printed.

The speeches before the Union were, with

one exception, very good. Y o u know I must

except my OWH- Y o a -will see them and form

your own opiiiioc. The Union adjounied ye.?-

terday to hold a semi-annual meetingin Chi-

cago in M a y irext. Dr . Con telh me that it is

his purpose to be there... •

To-day Brother Baker htis been kind enough

to visit many objects of interest with me; Y o u

will not of «ourse expect adescription of Cas-

tle Garden, Croton Beservoir. Crystal Pal.ic?,

& c . I ascended the tower of Trinity elmrch

and from a height of abont two hundred and

fifty feel I'urveyed this great city. ' IIow great

its extent!' H o w splendid many of its build-

iagsl H o w beautiful the waters' that almost

stirround it! H o w busy its population! H o w

SDultitudinoas the throng rushing along Broad

way! The elements of a world are to'fac found

here. But enough.

Eagle. You may think this a weakness. Be

it so. I visited the Falls—occupied various

positions, and gaeed at di^reat points on the

mighty cataract. T h e view from "Prospect

Tower" is, I Uiini, the most impressiveL—

What a scene! The tremtndoas thunderihgs

seem to s ^ . There is a God! The best -de-

Open Communion.

Rev. J. M . Pendleton, in the Tennessee Bap-

tist, thus exposes the "novelty" of the cry of

"open communion." recently raised by Pedo-

baptiats, in opposition to what they are pleased

to term, Haptist Bigotry. It seems that in for-

mer days, they were by no means anxious for

'•open communion" with Baptists, who were

then feeble and poor, and theiefcre despis-

ed and persecuted. Bat times have chang-

ed.

"During the reign of Charles I, when many

io Parliament were in favor 4<f tolerating the

•Protestant sectarians,' -the Presbyterians ex-

clainied. that this indulgence mark- the chorch

of Christ resemble Noah's ark, and render it

a ri-cf ptacle of sHuncleau beasts.'" Hume's

History of England, chapter L V I I I . Baptists

were col considered brethren then.

In May 2, 1648, the Presbyterians h . a ^ g

the ascendency in Parliament, passed "such a

law against' heretics (to use the language of

Ne* l ) as is hardly to be paralleled amongPro-

testants." It tpejifies "heresies" and "er-

rors." Among the errors I observe this:—

"That the baptism of infants is unlawful and

void ; and that such persons ought to be bap-

tized again." Upon "conviction," or "con-

fession" of this "error," tlie person implicat-

ed was to "renounce" it "in public congrega-

tion," or "in case of refusal be committed to

prison till be find sureties that he shall not

publish or maintain the said error or errors

any more." See Neal's History of the Puri-

tans, Part III, chapter X . There wasi my

Dear Sir, in that day no "open communion."

A B ^ U s t had to renounce the distinctive pe-

cnliaritiea making him a Baptist, to keep out

of prison. H e could not, in his Baptist char-

acter, commune wi:h Presbyterians. No, as

a Baptist he was thought fit only for a prison,

and could not, even if inclined, be present at a

Presbyterian commoDioiL Tire law, too, must

have contemplated imprisonment for- Kfe.; for

it was to continue till "sureties" which could

not, of course, be found. - Therefore impi i^-

meut for life was provided for.

. I refer to these things, m y Dear Sir, to

prove that a desire on the part of Prestgrteri-

ans to fraternize with Baptists, utof recent or-

igin. Illiberal as yoa consider as, yoa were

two hundred years ago, far moreeo. W e nev

er avaded ourselves of prisons to keep Pres-

byterians from our pulpits anicommuniontaF-

TUB POPE'S AIMS.—That the Pope expects

to extend his power over this free land is no

longer a matter of speculation. W e have been

satisfied for a long time, that the Pope of Rome

is determined to battle for bis tottering throne

upon the son of America. The following is

truthful. W e endorse it, and must say that

we are glad to see that the people are waking

up to the subject. Let the ball be kept in mo-

t i o n : — S u n . •

" T h e ChriMian Age says it ia no longer a

question of doubt, whether the Pope is aiming

to extend his power over this country. It in

no longer quesUonable, whether the whole Ro

mish priesthood are aiming to get the power

and rule of this country. It is as clear as sun

beams in the heavens, that the Romanists are

enemies to the great vital principles of our

civil government, and seeking their subversion

That moat pncious and sacred right, 'the lib

erty of speech and freedom of the press,' the

Romish hierarchy hate as they do Satan him-

self. They are conscious that they cannot, by

argument, by public discussion, by pulpit ef-

forts, such as ProtestanU rely upon for the de-

fence of their cause, maintain Romanism in

this country. The whole priesthood know that

their system never did and never can succeed

in a land of free schools and general education

and enlightenment. Their only chance is to

overrun the country with an ignorant set of

dupes, who will maintain the most implicit obe-

dience to the word of their masters, and have

these made legal voters at the earliest possible

period in this country."
