P l F r i l N I « u r S STUDY OP BAPTISM

dnlge hope of salvatian: if it cannot be forgiven Uiey must relintiuish all hope, ant! sink int" the darknes of despair.

Irqoice to annotmct? that then; is forziveuess with God—that Jehovah Is a God who pardons ini-ijuity. Please observe:—

r. I t IS God's r:iEHO.?-\TtyE t o partjon iM'ym:. Let it never be fjrgottcn. that sm is a transgres-

sitm of the law of God. It is conseriuently an in-sult to the Lawgiver. The divine law may be con-adered a t raasmpt of the divine periL-ctioas. (;'>i's will, in referenM to his creatures rcc'-ivcs a visible embodiment in his law. Now when the law is vio-lated the mle which Gtjd lias given Ls sot at naught. I t is his law: For al! the legislative authority of the nnivcrse resides ia him. It ha? never been his pleasure to transfer it. AVhen his law, therefore, Ls broken, it is province zo decide whether the trans-gressor shall be pardoned; and on what terms; Pjr the judicial authority of the universe is his ais<3. And if he determines that the penalty of his law shall be executed, it is his prerogative to proccdl to the eiecutiDn; for the executive power of the uni-Teise belongs to him.

Let us rejoice that it is the gooil pleastire of our God to panion sin- This ia a glonous truth, and the Bible plainly declares it. I need only refer to such passages as 'the Mlowing: "The Lorf. the Lord G.id, merciful and gradous, abimdant in good-ness and truth, keepicg mercy for thousand', for-giving iniquity, tran.'^gressicn and sin:"" '-There is forgiveness with thee that thou mivst.'bc feareil. " '-To the Lard cur li'jd belong mercies ami t'jrgi^e-ness, though we bava sinned against liim." I will be merciful to iht-ir unrishteor.~ncss. ar.d their sns and initiuities will I rctneml>;r n-' mor;-. " • If we confess our sins he is faithful ani ju.-t to forgive us our sins, and to rli air^e us fn -m all anrightcm-i-ncss."'

1. / / t p«ri/o;is co/isij(c.-i.'iu t.!ui j-' -'-.iC. This cannot be iaidof the organ- of earthly

emmenis. Suppos-J a man ct.iiuin's aiurdL-.-. ar.d is. according to the law of tlic. State, .. entcn.- -d to be hnng. If the Governor, who po:!S...sses the panlun-ing power exercises it, he dues so at tin; expense of the law that pronounced its scntencc of condetnna-tion. The claims of Ijw are disTcgarded -the de-mands of justicc are .lishouorcd. The reason is uo atoiiing expedient is introduced into the govern-ment. There is no compensatory arrangement to satisfy law and justice. It is not so when God par-dons.- Faith does not.makt void, but esublishes the law. The atouL-mcat of Chri^i luagmtied the law and made it honorable. It was th-.- glurious expedient devised by iuMnite wi.sdom. and introdu-ced by infinite benevolence into the divine govern-ment to susiain the dignity of the Eternal Thn.me in the exercise of pardoning mercy to the guilty-The demands of t i c law wore satisiiei by the per-feet obedience and e.-;piatory blood uf .lesus Christ. The claims of justicc were tnuinphantly m.vlntain-ed. The argument of an arostle is, that because the Lord Jesus was set forth as a propitiation thro faith in his blood, G.>d can be ju.st and the justitier of him who believes in Jesus. Faiih embraces the atonement and sccurcs to its justitication through the merits cf that atonement, t-oil in ex-ercising mercy for llirist's sake acts cmisistontly with law ami justice. IIc .shows I-i.-! intle.vil.Ie .at-tachment to the principles of justi.:e i tuhuuiid in his law. Uc lets the universe know th.i; the '-am-ticial offering of Christ, in vindicating the ri-i-ti-tude of the divine Thronr. oprnid a channel for the coasistcnt i-^ess cf nitn-y fmr.i ihnt Thn-'uc The law and justico cf InKl intcri'"-ie no o'ljection to the salvation ot -inners llirough the blood of the cross: far their deinani'ts were met when tho suR'.rer of Calvary expiretl. To pardon with the concur-rence of law and Justice i-s a glorious pcculianty of God's method of partloning. It belongs alone to the divine government. It shines forih in isnhiied tnd ctcnul grandeur.

2. God rn poniaiiinj .Mil liif h.iln<i oj il What is there like this ia civil government' r>oes

» G<lTCrnor slww his hatred of theft aiid perjnr)- l>y Ttlcasing thieves and peijureil persons from thv State priaonl By no means IIc in most ca^s shows that he doe-s not hate crimes as he should do. God panlons-sin through the dt-aih of C'hiist. and nothing gives as huch tin impnsisiun of God's ha-tred to sm asdocs the cross. That be abhors sin i-s seen in his explusion of rebel angels from his prc.s-ence and tho gloty cf his power. The same tniih ia taught in the multiplied miseries of our fallen world. Sin is the prohtic source of these mi.=cries-and God shows his hatre^l of it by attaching to its commission comet^uenres so fearful. Jehovah s detestation of sin is exprrssed in the tires of hell and in the tortures of the -.ronn that never dies-But. 0! his hatred issumes its intensest t'jnu in the death of Jesus Christ. If ever there was an hour when God could have comuved at sin -sutli r-ing it to pass witli Impunity—that hour u.-curred when the Redeema- was nailed to the cro.ss. But there was no coniavance. Of thi.s we hive proof equally ample and awful in the darkness that shrouded the sun—the quaking of the eartli—the rending of the rtjJts—the opening of graves—and the agonizing cry cf the crucified One—'-My God! My God! 'Why hiSt thou forsaken me?" The di-Tine hatred of sin receives its most striking exLibi-tJon ia the cross. Now it is ttrongU the cross alone that God pardons sia, i n d whatever he does in conadention of the W.ood of the cross shows his mflnite abhorence of sin- In pardoning sin. there fore, God shows his intense hatred of it. ^Vhat : sublime wonder is tMsI Sin freely pardoned by the Uwgiver, and yet his detcsUtiun of it more fully disfUytJd than if the sinner who is pardoned had been sent to hdl! Yes, as truly as the majesty of tha law is vindicated by the very expedient that renuta ita penaltv and hushes its thunders, so truly doaCod in pardoning sin show his hatred of i t This E surdy a marvelous peculiarity method of pardoning.

3. file JO pordcM Ihit those u:ko arc foreivtn cm •not presuau to trmsgrat again.

The plan of salvation th.-^ngh Christ guarantees the perseverance in holi-ness of those who acquiesce in it. This is a wnn-diTful pw'uharity in God's method of pardoting. T. e pardoned co and sin no more—never again be-come the slaves of sin.

1. He pn -iloiis jiumv oljcnrcy-.\i-v civil government, to pursue this course,

would, politically .speaking, soon dig its own grave. The penalty of the law would at once be regarded as nommal, and no one would care for it. But God ca:i forgive cfTcnres a..; numerous as the hairs of our brails. Where sin abounds he makes his grace u.urh more aVjund. He shows to thj universe that hf is God by acting as God alone can act. The atonement of Christ which .justifies the pardon of one sin justifies the pardon of ten thousand times ten ihoa^an i transgressions. Kor is the exercise of ipercy m ihe pani-m I'f numberle.ss offcn.ses a ; lit-ense to sin. Xor does the beauty of holiness ' • hinn fiirth w i t h less resplendence.

NCf.E JONES was Profc.ssor of l anguages in the College to which we have once or twice be.

fore referred. A frank, free spokrn man. with a clear head and a warm heart, in wliich affection for his amiable, talented, and licautiful niece, held no small space. Like most of the members of his de" uomination, having received liis so called bjptism without his own knowledge or consent, he had nev-er, until very recently, felt that he had any per-soral interest whatever m this subject.

He had been informed that he was baptized while yet an infant in h i s mother's arms, and whether it was properly or impi-perly doac. had been no con-cern of his. It had Ikxh the duly of his jiSrents and their jiastor ta attend to that, and he had nev-e r enfiiiireil whether tlioy did it illy or well.

A few days since, however, liis a t t e n t i o n liad been directed to Ihe subject by a somewhat singular oc-Durrence. Mr. Courtney tlic tea>lu r, wa^ speiid. ing a lei.suru hour al I'rof Jones room, a t a L i m e

when no recitation claimed the attentinn of either, and they were earnestly discussing s«.uic item pf the morning s news, when two of the College stu-dents looked ill, and seeing a visitor, weie alxjut to withdraw, but the Professor-iwith his characunstic kindness called them back, alid inquireil m what way he could serve them.

After a moments hesitation, the younger, (whose name was Pearson) replied. Ob. it is of no con. e. quence. Professor Jones. Chum and I had a little dispute which w e agreed to refer to you tor deci sion, but as you arc engaged we will r a i l some other luue.

No, no, said the Professor cmne iu and ttli me now. I am quite at lilierty. Perhaps Mr. Court-ney will assist us if there is auy ihmg important to deteniiiue iipon-

I 'h, no, said Smith, (the othi i stuilent, it is of no great importance. We only wi.-hed to as'k you what I s the (ireek wurd for to -tifi.

Yes- they had several. was used to signify a general washing, as by bathing and a par-tial one. as of the bands alone. The (ireek lan-guage was perhaps even more nipioiis in words of this .sort than tho F.uglish. It had a won! to ex press almost every manner of using water.

V leaclier in a blind school once gave this sum to one of the toys. 1 Ic was to work it ou t in his mind. "A pile of sand is ten feet high, ten feet wide, and seventy feet long. Each square soUd inch contains ten thousand grains. A bird oimes every thousand years and ukes away one grain at a time. How long would it t-idf to carry away all the .sand!"— The Uttle blind boy soon gave the answer, which was, th^t it would take 120,900,000,000,(100 years What a long row of Bigures! Tou cannot form an idea of such a sum. Now put aU the sand cn the seashore mto one heap, and l e t a bini take away one grain every thousand years till all is gone, and yet that would not bo tlie end of eternity. Eternity has no end.

Some of the ancients tried to give some idea of eternity by drawing a circle. A circle has no end In that it is like eternity. Bat ia no other respect. We can measnre ^ circles. But we cannot measure eternity. 'Kone but God knows what it is.

We linpc you will not be olfended. sir. biitbmiih and I (said IVaisonl w e n t la'st Sabbath aftemoon to witness tie immersion: and have since had a lit-t l e d i s - u s - s iou on the meaning of t h e wonl bnpiizc and Its cognatcs. a-s used in the Scripturrs m refer-ence to the onlinance

We found the words i:i tlic I.exiroii jiisl as we w o u l d anv other wonl-s, and by this means n eiT

I thought, obligfil to translate tln iii by dipping or immersion.

D«t Smith conteuded ihat tlierc must si.iiie error in this, and that hnplt^mos must signify a sprinkling or a pouring, as well as a dipping and since wo could find no authority for this in the Grammai-s or Lexicons of the language lie m.,s. ted ou coining to )0U laKitil it.

Certainly, sir there must be some mistake about t h e s e words in the Le.x.cons, for my fmher was a Presbyterian miuister, and I kue^v he was a ptxid Greek scholar, and yet lie not only bapti/.ed by sprmklmg, but insisted that there was iio such thing as immersion ever spoken of fvr baptism-The P r e s i d e n t of this College and all the Vacuity

Presbyterians, aud diey all approve of spnnk-lin- as b a p t i s m - w h i e h they ccrtaiiily iOuUl ....t .io if the very word baptism in the Greek sigmlies im-mersion. I <-ar.not understand it. sir. if Jesus Christ meant to say sprinkle why did he not use the word r,n>.o' If he " did he not use the wonl chco or _ If he meanttosay wemthat i s , to apply water m any form) why did be not use the wonl I rtcho' As it seems to be certain from the practice ol the best and most learned clergymen of the worid, that he

.did not and could not have meant dip or immerse, why did ho use a word which commonly, if not al-ways meant to immerse! And which, as a matter of course, every ore who read or spoke the Greek would understand to mean immerse! I wii,h, Pro-fessor Joues you would be kind enough to expbin this to ns, sir, for Pearson has annoyed me about it till 1 have almost lost my patience.

The Professor himself was somewhat annoyed by these questions, and the more so because they had been asked in tho presence of Mr. Courtney, whom he knew to be Baptist, and a thorough clas-sical scholar. He was, however, too prudent to permit the students to discover his embarras-sment And only repUed, we find it much easier to ask questions, young gentlemen, than it is to a ^ e r L m - b u t in the present case, you have only to recollect that worfs often undergo a ^ a n s e of

in the lapse of time, or f e r p l a c 4 " d your difficmties will all may grant that dipping or hninersion « t h e i d M

and so it is still in the Helenistic or Classic Greek; hence this is what you find in the Lexicons of the language: bat the Greek of the New Testament was not the pure clas-sic Greek, but a sort of Jew Greek, if I may so speak, wliich had come into >ise in Palestine, and may have been different from the language as originally spoken and written; and as the writers of tha New Testament were treating of a new system of religion, they would be very likely to use words in a new sense.—.\nd thougli it can-not be denied that the idea ot submersion is almost always in these words as they occur in the cla.Ssi-cal writers, yet it does not of necessity follow that it must be in them as constantly as when they are used by the EvangelisLs.

Thank you, sir, fgid Smith- That is very satis-factory. .\nd ihe young mea took their leave.

When they were gone, Profe}.sor Jones observing the peculiar expression of Mr. Courtney's counte-nance, was led to continue the subject. "\'ou did not seem, said he, to be as well .satisfied as ihe boys were with my explanation.

If you will pardon me fur saying so. Professor. I do not see how you conld be satisfied with it voui-self.

And why not, pray ' Because you have too much good sense to take i t

for granted that a thing is true only because it pos. sibly may be true. You intimitaied. if you did not plainly assert to tlic young men that these words, hnpio. bnfti'O, and their ci.-relatives signify to spiinkle and pour in the (Ireek New Testnmeni. though you ranH deny tliat they never have tho.e meanings in any other Greek book, imd ihat ihe sole and entire authority for th is assertion is the fact that some other words have changed their iiiesning, and therefore it was possible that these might have done so also. 1 grant that they might have changed, but there is not even the shadow of any evidence to show that they have really done so. Some men have applied to the Legisl.iture and had their names changetl: and s ' you anJ 1 might have done, but this is certainly no proof that our names have been changed. If you build an argu-ment, or base an explanation on this change- i ' is not enough to suppose it to be possible that such a change might occur; you must prove i'. t o be cer-tain that Buch a change liirf occur.

But you will grant, replied Profes.sor Jones, that it was at least possible that as Christ was entrD-ducing a new order of things in rehgion. new words or rather old words wit'a new meanings should be employed in describing this new ordinance.

So far from granting that it was probable. I will prove that it was morally impossi'-le—though if it had beia even prnbablc i w o u l d no t justly yoiir COIICIUSI'TIS.

What wouM you think of llie eommon seii~i. uf that meiiibcr of Congress win should ireat the Constinit^m of the I niied folates i:i the same way that you treat the Constitufon of the rhnsiian chureit. and earnestly and soberly declare that such words as war and pea.:c taxe.s and treaties are not to be understood among us in their common and ordinary acceptation, as they arc i!=ed by other w r i t e r s , and as we tiivl them drfr.icd in ilic H.e-tii naiios-bul that war means want. pea. e i:.,.aus pleiitv. taxes means tables and treaties means tn u-hUs ' -1 u would e.xpc't bis colleagues tu -all him a fool.

And yet this is precisely th.' manner ot reasoning adopt(<iby grave and reverend DOCTORS OF HIVINITV when they attempt to expound the Constitution which Christ gave his church. Th.-r: is not a single word in the whole Greek language the meanrng of whi. h is more deflinitely fixed and more perfectly known than that of Bapiizo and those derivcl from it. In any oiher book but the New Testament uo scholar ever he-si-iles about its signifi'-afoii. When Homer speaks of a .smith baptizing a hatchet cr huge p. le a.Ne in cold water lo hanlen it, we have no difficulty in k n o w i n g what he moans. We see the smith hanlen steel in the same manner now by pbinging

it in the water. When Heroilotos s.iys of the Egyptians, ihat

they loui-bed a swine they went into the river and baptized themselves with their clothes .m. n.. s. - -lar doubts they plungd into the water.

When Diodouis Siculus says of a shi]! that was baptized in the sea. no scholar doubts that he m e a n s to .s.iy t h e ship was sunk-merged in the sea.

When Plutai. h .- ays of the Roman C.rner.il that he baptiwd his hand in bl.wd. no one doubts t h a t

he dipped bis hand iu the bloo.1. .\nd yet you known hat in these, and many simitar places, t very same wonl is used which is employed in the New Testament t o denote the onlinance. You may Uke the whole range of Greek literature, up to the very time when the Gospels were written an.l you cannui liad one solitary instance in which these words are used to siguify < ilher sprinkling or pour ing. nor auy one in wliir'i they have not in the lb - i.lca.if an immersion-literal or liguraiive.

Ves. Mr. Courtney, but t!.at was Hclnustic .-lireek. The llebraistie Greek, spoken a;

a V. lUteii among llie .lews, might have b,..u dif fereni. So it mig'il, Piofes.sor .lone.s, but as regards ihi word, il was not dilfercnt

written not for the Jews but for the Gieeks to read, and consequently if the writers did not use Greek words in thei*ordinary Greek sense they would not bo nnderstood—bnt would in fact convey an ab.so-lute falsehood. Mark was wntten at Rheme for the Italians and strangers who read the Greek lan-guage there. Luke addres-sed his Gospel and the Acts to an individual in the Greek nation, for Tho-philus is a Greek name. John was written in the very territory of Greece itself. It is evident there-fore, that even if there had been a peculiar J-vish n ie of the word, the writers of the Gospels could not have employed it unless they had explained at the same time that they did it in its common signi-ticatioa. 1 f 1 say that I was immersed in the Cum-berland n\ er peopl.' who understand English will think I was plunged beneath the surface of the wa-ter—.ir els» that I state what w is not true; because this is the .-ommon every day meaning of the wonl immer-se in the language to which it belong;;. So when these writers say Christ was baptized in the river .b>rdan. cv.'Ty body that read (rreek wouM understand that he was submerged in the river, fur this was the common every .lay meaning of the word baptize in the language to which it belonged.

nevertheless. If there was "any such thing as Jew (.reek you would find it in the translation of their own Scriptures made by seventy Ir&med men of their own nation, and hence called by them the Septuigent. With this transla-tion the Jews in our Savior's time were more fami-liar than with the original Hebrew. It that Jesns quoted in his discourses. It that Matthew and the other writers of the New T e s t a m e n t rc' er to aad quote as the Law aad the Prophets. This was the Greek which the Jews un-d e r s t o o d better tnaa any other. If there wa.s, there-fore, any such thing as Hebmistic or Jew Greek, w a s in this book. Now. sir, you know very well that the idea oC dippms expressed by the Hebre wonl -'tahaV' is tn this Jew Greek uniformly ren-dered by •••bapto' or '.'.(ipfiro ' - a n d these words are never used in any other than their common classical signification.

And further still, Josephus, who was a Jew, liv-ed among the Jews, and wrote the history of the Jews, lived and wrote just about the same time that the authors of the New Testament did, and if they wrote in "Jew Greek,'' he did so aho. He wrote for the same people, at the same time, and in the same language, and uses the same word a g ^ bat no one ever suspected that he meant spnokling or pouring, or that he used it in any other than its common, classical sense. He invariably ases the words to signify sinking, submerging or dipping. And besaesaU this, you wiU please to remember t i n t the g m t e r p K t cf the New lestMneat was

It is not an anstocracy, wiih the su preme power in the liands ot the nobles, with a court of Bishops or Elders, to legislate for, and force iheir own laws upon tiie bo-iy. But it is a pure deiiiucrary. with the soveieign i owcr vested in the whole uiembership; l!ie free and independent bodv governed ouly by the laws of Christ, its he; i. t >;her arguments might be made, and o:her evidence prescnttd on this subject, but enough hxs been said to satisfy ev. ry eandi.l aad uciireju iioe l mind; and as llie next subject to be considered is in 5.ime de free involved with this, we will proceed to the ihir.i mquiry.

Bishops, a^ ihey ore distinct from presbyters, .lo not denve their succession from those who were prcmi.scuously ca'led in the New Testament bishops, or elders, but fioni the Apostles ihimstlvts, aud the i r sus.-os.'-ors."

Agam. in Acts, fifletr.ih chapter, there was mu tual action ot Apostles, elders, and the church, in the instructions given to the Gentile christians a b o u t drcumscision. An equality no prelate ex cise of power or dictation. It is very plain from the foregoing, that the advocates of episcopacy cannot establish the identity essential tu their po sttion. But to estabhsh their claim lo ap.ostolical succession, they must, in the wcocd place, provt that the Apostles did transmit their olfice to otbers-

respect to the two other officcs, nor any awhoritj for the churches to submit to such suoccssws: ana in fact, the peculiarities of the A p o s t o l i c office, mad it impos-sible to transmit it- It was esFentia! to th. nature of that office, that the individuals using it should have been an eye or ear witness cf thos. things to which they testified in the world. So thftt witli ^ otters, t h t t w h k i

we hare seen and heard, dnclare we nnto you. Peter makes this as a special prerequinte erf the one wljo was to be the successor of J ^ a s , Acts, fc 21, 22. "Whsefore of these men vhtck havt am-panitd vnlh 'IS all the time, that the Lord Jrsuiitmt in and out amon-' »t5, beginning from Ae b^ i t im of John, nnto that same day he was taken up from ua, must one be ordained, to be a witness with ns of his res-urectioa.'' And the Apoatle Panl mentions this as one of the qualifications of his own spostol^p, "Am I not aa Apostle,' said he, 'have I not seen tho Lord?"

.\gain. it is essentiBl to 'chis office, the per-soa be ebosea and commissioned by Christ person-ally. Such were the facts in the cases of aU the Apostles; Matthias and Paul, not excepted. The first had been personally chosen by the Lord as a disciple; aad by deterpnning the lot, he called and confirmed him in his apostleship. The latter had a had a special revelatioa. aad personal call and ap-pointment at the time j)f Ids conversion.

.\gain, divine inspiratioa was also a necessary quabfication, to the Apostolic ofiBce, John xvi; 13. This is evident from the fsct, that the special bua-ness of the Apostles, in this prominent office, was not only to expound the old scriptures, and show that "thus it is written, aiid thus it must be ful-filled but also to proclaim the New Testament rev-elations. as an unalterable standard of faith and practwe. Acts, xvri: 22, 33.

Again, other important and essential qualifications for the .Apostolical ofiice, was the power to^peak with tongues, to work miracles, to disarm Fpirits, and to confer these gifts or powers on others. Matt, xvi at . 1st Cor. xii: '.I, 10. And Panl spsaks of t h ^ miraculous gifts, as the signs or credentials of the Apostolical commission, 2d C!or. xii: 11, 12.

Sach are the esscntijl qualificaiions and charac-teristics of the A[>ostolical office, as plainly marked out m the scriptures. Ard whenever modem bidi-ops shall exhibit the samii, then fney may, with some show of right, claim a descent from those holy men uf Crt)d. But until they do this, they caimot impose their pretended .^ucassicnL upon the intelli-gent bible reader and thuy have no just ri^t to uile, discipline and lord it over their brethren.— Apostolical succession, indeed! Why, it is just as sensible 10 talk about a mediatorial succession: and the Pope of Rome is juft as much head of the •hurcb as modem prelate Bishops, are successors of the twelve inspired Apostles.

But if It liad been possible, to show that their ofSce was transmitable, fJid had been transmited by the Apostles to others, then it would be neces sary for Episcopacy to esttblish the fact, that the chain of succession had been exteaded through its .)wn chaaael. link to hnk from the Apostohc to the present day. This is an impo.ssibility. For the proofs will have to be drawn from the nnperfect, uncertain, aad often incn-dible testimony of human '.I adilions. which carry with them but little author-ity. Because ol the woriis of the so called Fithers, some have been lost, and others are doubifal in au-t'norsbip, and others arc contradictory ia their testi-mony. -Vnd even when they have done the best •hey ran do, they do no: establish the distinction Hi. .lUee ci.intende-1 for. .\!id the succession, if trac . d at all, even by these uncertain and doubtful means, it must go through PiOme, -the mother of hnrlais. the hot-bed cf abominations, and the bloody I.uiderer of the followers of Christ." How hu iniliEtiug the thought, that any thing Divine, or claiming to be christian, should have to pass through such a channel of impmity-

On this subject then, the conclu-SHin arrived at, is this: That the advocates of the distinct grades of cfEcers in the christifji church, cannot establish the identity with the .\postolic office claimed for •heir Bishops, nor make satisfactory proof of their issumed succession, and that accordiag to the scrip-tures of Diviae truth, tliere are truly, oaly twodis-iact ofPces ia aa evangelical or christian church

There are Bishops, sometimes called Elders or Pas-tors, and Deacons. For whenever the officers are mentioned together in the scriptures, but two are sp-.kea of. In the third chapter of Paul's first let ter to Timothy, whore there is more instniction ziveii in reference to the qualifications of church officers, than in any other part of the New Testa, mem. n.ine arc mentionrf but the above two; and -eriaiiily it God had designed tho personal contia-lation of so important an officc as that of Apostles,

would not have been entirely overlooked by the lifaliblc spirit of Divino revelation It is true that disiinciion was gradually made in the ministry

ittcr the death of the Apostles, bui it has no Divine ittthoiity. and is jmn'ly the work of man.

In the preceding argument on the form of church gjvcmmeul. it lias been conclusdvcly shown that

.sciiiiturcs represent and authorize only a de-•1 acy. And if this is so, it follows that the of-

ticurs must be clectcd by the voluntary sullraBes of ill the members, in accjrdanco with Bcriptnial au-thoiiiy, without further discussion.

4th. The fourth question of investigation is— What are the sacramcnts of a christian church, and what arc their relation to the church and each oth er! Sacrament is troui thcLatm sm-remcntiim. an latli, ninreparticularij, theoath of saldicri tu be true to their country or general. Il is now cum-luonly used in a religio us sense, to denote those or •linances by which christians come under spcdal .obligations to obey (Jol; aud is as solemn and bind-ngasaayoatb. Uf these sicrijicnts the scrip-tures rcprcsetit but tw-J. bnptisaui, or immursion in water, in the name uf the triaity; and ckdmtxi >r the Lord's supper-

Withrespcs-tto BapUsma,or Baptism, as cng-lisliizeJ in the present version, it has been a s u ^ ject of much cantrovensy in the chnstiaa wtald. It IS no part of tlie business of this Essay to enter into Jilt cuatroversy. but cnly to inquire into the rda doa which it occupies to the church, and to the euchju-ist. ....\nd tliis inquiry has been in part an-

asyei^ by the Argument on baptism as an essential element of * christian chnrch.

As-lhcreshown,itoxnpiesto thechurchthe re-lation of a public stgn, of a gospel faith. A belief mXhrisl as the true Mwwah, the all wise God oelief in thcftruthof Us death, and his resurrection. .A belief in the great truth of the trinity, the Fath-er, Son, tnd Holy Spirit, as one sacred G o d h ^ . one holy being", tuA abelief of a future and glon-.usresurection of aU the faithful. It occupies also he relation of a public badge. I t bears testimony

,0 a voluntary and solemn compact, a christian nn-,0B- and is a h a d ^ of christian disapleship, and. Divine ownership- '^For as many of you as have been baptized into lyrist , have pat oa Christ,"' Gal. nj:27:

In baptism then, belierers put on the diristjan bvery, and say to the wtrid, "we belong to the Lord Jesas Christ. We have put off the body of thesinsof thefiesh. We arc toned with him in oaptism; and also, wo are risen with Irim, through i e faith of the opjwatiwi of God.-?, And t l ^ .,ke as Christ was raised up frraitbe dead by the

<Ioty of the FaAer, ^ »o,:ini,also ihouia walk ^gUa^meaof ^

ted together in &e likeniig of tus .Vrth, we riiaH be also in the likeness of his resmrectxro-"

And of all this, b^ t i sm. whm practiced accor-ding tolts true dffinitinn, and scriptural aagmflca-tion is a livdy and beautifnl emhVm. Bat when

aod pouiii^ are sahstitatad ftir tUs dnis-tiao ordnance, the signifiani^ ia lost, and &e Di-Tine mat itjii am Eflmdercd-

Baptism is also the diristian public badge of il-legianoe to Ofari*. By this they agaify to the wirid that they are DO longCT <Uens &an the cominon-wealth of I s n ^ aod stiangers from tiie oorenanSB rfpronuse." Bat tain^t n i ^ ^ the blood of Ctaist, are children and daiens of his kingdom. That they are sworn soldiers of the cross. That they win fight for Christ, and if nocssBKy die far Christ" .ind "whether liTing or dying, they are theloids."

And thus baptism stands as a pchlic smttnal at the door of the church. Hyoocrifes may enter, give the sign, and ware the badge; but in d t ^ so they purjure themselves. The tme bdirrer, only win wave it with honor, and penerere to the end.

Baptism occupies the relation cf a ppereqnimte to the euchaiist or Lord's Supper. This is evident in the first place, the order in which they were institutfd. The ordinance of baptism was institn-ted with the mimstry of John, the immerser. He was a man sent from God, '-to mate ready a people prepared for the Lord Christ." And thia f j d m fid baptize in the wfldemess, and preach the baptism of repentance, for the remission of sins," Mar^ i :4 . That the baptism of John was Kvindy inntitntfd, ic conclu^dy proven, not only hy the dedantions of Mark in the first of his g o s ^ but alsao by the iyct that Jesas himself came to J i jm ior baptism, and was actuaQy baptized by him in JordiB, thus confirming the anthority of the jas l^ t ian or ad-ministration by his harbingEr. That the ordinance administered i j Christ and his disaples, was the same as that administered by John, is made plain by the recogniaon and adrmssiini of John's disci-ples. "Babbi, he was with thee beyond Jorion, to whom thou bearest witness, behold the sane b ^ tiseth, imd aU men oome to him. John, i s SS.

From these facts we learn that the ordinance of baptism w a instituted prior to that of the I/ird's supper, which was institnted just before his cnid-flzion.

I.aii(lB{ far th* CnvTrmlan ml U u m .

It is said of the learned John Smith, "that he had resolved very mnch to lay aside other studies, and to travail in the salvation of men's souls, after whose good he most earnestly thirated." Of Allei-ne, aathor of the -'Alarm to tJoceaverted Sinners," it is said that '-'he was infinitely and insatiafaly gree-dy on the conversitm of souls, and to this end ho poured out his very heart in prayrrand preaching " Bunyan said, '-In preaohing I conld not be satisfied, unless some fruits did appear in my work." Dod-dridge, writing to a friend, remarked, "1 long for the conversion of Boula more BsoBbly than my thing besides- Methinks I could not cnly labor, but die for it with pleasure."

S'unilar is the death-bed testimony of the seintfd Brown, (^Haddington: "Now, after near forty years preaching of Christ, I think I would rather beg my bread aU the laboring days of tho week, for an op-portunity of publishing the Go^iel on the SabbaUi, than, without such privil^e, to enjoy the richest possessions on earth." ' O labo.-, labor," said he to his sons, "to win souls for CJhrist"

Rutherford "conld assure his fl ock that they w s e the ^object of his tears, cares, fears, and daily prayers, that he labored amiof them early and late." "And my witness," snid ha, "is ahore that your heaven would be two heavens to me, and the salvation of you as two Eaivations to me-"

Fleming, in his "Fulfillment of Scripture," men-sions one John Welsh, "often in the coldest winter eights rising for prayer, found weeping on the ground, and wrestling with &e Lord on acooont of Lis people, and saying to hiu wife, when she pressed for an expUnation of his distress, " I have the souls of three thousand to answer for, while I know not how it is with many rf them."

Brainard could aay of himseir, on more than one occasion, "I cared not where or how I lired, or what hardships I went through, so that I could but gain sonU fbr Christ. While I w u asleep I dreamed of these things, and when I waked the first thing I thooght of was thin great work. AU my de-sire was for the coavemtm of the heathen, and all my hope was in God."—Scattuk Guardi-an. .

CIKISTUS Resig.kattos.—We haTO rarely met with a more touching illustration of Christian forti-tude and submissian, than is nimished in the fol-lowing extract from a letter of Professor Birhard son, of Freehold, N. J. , who hi£ recently become blmd. In writtog to a friend in Boston, after speaking of his loss in burying a belored dsld, he adds:

But now I have been called to part with aD on csrth; all, however dear, have 'been banished from my s'ightj the earth and the skj- are gone; light and beauty havJ given place to dsTtrnffUs; even my own form hi>s p c ^ e d from my sight The son no lon-gcT rises a ^ sets.

'rt'ti* is at an end, and there is no longer succeasim of days—the next l i ^ t I am to behold will be that of the of the cteraal worid—the,next morning tUit bursts open my visian, that of the resunectioik. Bat thia is a wdcome thought. My mind runs forward and antiapatet with joy the scenesncxt to open upon my sii^it. "When my spir-it rinlra wiliiin jne as I think of what I have lost in fbig winld- then I find tn nnfadiiig sourae of consolation in anticipating the li^it, the joy, the friends of our earlier days win have gone to heav-en.

I have, it is true, fotind one remarkjb!e thing m ihe ooaimunijatioii under conaidcration ihs writer says:

• Bat the amosiug part of the history is tha* when l ie Corresponding letter was prcbiuted, it had a senter.ce to this eficct: are sorry to Si^y thato'^r Assocjojion has «of hten as Karmunn^ as usua^,'"

motion Wili made to stnko out this f^ tence . Tha advocates of the Export opposed tha Btrikiiip out. The wanted the truth juct aa it was to go to tho world, and M. FlemiEg got up and maJe a speech oppcang the sinking aut. So much for tlie • :tsual kurnwiiy ''

Header, this is a '-/ncJ;" bnt a member has stated it 60 as to convey to your mind a faUehiKid. The speech I ctade, or was about to make, against the motion to strike out the above sentince grew out of

, the fact that the sentence foUowirg the part to be stricken out contained an exhortation to the aster Associations to stand bold and unflinching, (I write frum memory,) in the defense of the truth, and while I was reminding the brethren of tha fact of ihtiir haring failed the day previotis, to recommend the -trUkhU tooi, lie Iron metp' A .MEMEES cal-led mi to order and said, there was "no mnUm tr stnie the chair pronounced me out of ordtr. (bnt I waD not,) so I sat down. There irta a mote btfoTC tlie hody at Ike Ume to ttrUit out, and it was put, and the sentence was. stricken out. Now I was not speaking against striking out, but against the incongruity in their action the day before and tha exhortation in tlisir corresponding letter. It seemed to me that consistency required that if th^y ttruck out tho sentence alluded to above, they should strike out the sentence following it, which oontained the exhortation to firmness and fearlcsa-ness in the defense of the truth. I love consisten cy in words and in deeds. When I exhort others :o defend the truth, I should be ready to do it myself, at all hazards.

I did not think theo, nor do I now think, that there was so mtich unkind feeling, and heat of head and heart, in tha Association, as -n jnmJfr" seems to want to oonrince the people abroad, and "to tet iLe Association right feefore the country." The Columbus Associauon is composed of brethren of too mnch good sense, and good religion, t» allow tbemselvea to get to "ashy," as to make a fuss about small matters. There was a difference ^f opinion among them, it is true; and come expressed their riewg with earnestness, and warmth. But 1 have heard a Pedobaptist preacher defending in a sermoo the baptism of children, and though he would start cool, before he tronld get through he A-ould become a warm and a dogmatical as if he had holy Scripture to susiain him—and all this too without any one to rasp him up mto a rough tem-per by a repiy to his groundless reasoning

I am willing to admi:, from the developments, now before me, that "a memhtr" did have Eome un-u£nal inlianncDhias feeling on the subject, or he <nmld WK liave compared the Iron Wheel with Cade Tom's Cabin," nor would he have stept

aside from his wonted nrbanity of manners to spit •at come of his nnkindnass npon me. i do not know who the writer of the pieoe under oooBderv tkm is, bot I fbatl take it for grants, tiiat when be is aot oat temper he is a poliu man. I re^et tie ia not bdd Ooagh to ootne oat^tuom behind bis aaoi^iaoaKsercsa. J l a L ^ n j i o t aasa a a y t l ^ u mj fonaar oamnnidaation to ntraet, I iball not

iugly receive a herctic ia the dinrch? Bet, 6ome say, "Yon may htliens it, b ut not

preach it."' Are ws to understand by this, il makes no ditlcrencs what e layman believes? What is hi resy for one, i« the same not heresy for another'

Again, it may be said, every applicant ought to know th-.t Baptists hold to, or believe the nncr.ndi-tional perseverance of the ren^eaerated? Do they know it, my brother?

I can find Baptists, and so can you, who never eaw an ' abstract of principles." which most of crar chun-hes hate 'Why reasonably expect those out of tho cb-irdi to be better advised than those in it?

What nf the convert who is invited and urged to join the ch"r?h immediately after his profesaon' If jon ci.-mp-l him to bthevo, asd do certain things, you certdinly Rhould Inform him what they are. I>i)es ro i the applicant have a right to believe "as it is written " "The Bible, and the Bible alone, the Creed of Bapti-its?"

RejiaJIKS—We would ask W. D. C G. why not indulge members of Baptist churches in believing tha doctrine of rniversalism. or UmtarianiEm. as Weil as Armiaiiism, and make no trouble abvit it? A person can be quite as gf>od a christian and bo-lieve ei'her of the former doctrines M the latter, and the latter as thomugly subverts either of the former. Wo hold ourself bound to prove it. Then siraio, members of the Baptist churches are bound by their solemn church obligation, to bring to trial, and to aid in the reclamation or expulsion of those members who hold Ihe doctrines of Arminianism, Dniversalism and Unitarianism, because they are palpably opposed tn the articles of faith (as well as, to the wool of God) that all regular Baptist church-es have adopted. That man has got into the wrong church, who holds these doctrines; let him correct his mistake, and not seek to produce division and strife and schism in the church. It is no part of charityto conntenance error or errorists in the church That peace which is the price of truth and faith-fulness is a treasonaWe, and will prove a distruct-ive peace.

A full discussion of this qnstSon will soon appear in this paper.

»t the Flori la Assodation last November, and hear ron preach and conTerse, iririch was a" pea t treat to me. Ton may remember me or not, we staid togeth-er at Bro. May's. I hope to see jou again some day^ and bear you talk of tbo Bride oomiiig up oat of the wilderness leaning on the arm of her Be-loved. Bat should we, in the providence of God, never meet more in this world, let ua hope to be ready, th i t ih-: ^iitt.z^ocs of our citpurture will find ns prepare-J.

We have had qmis an excitnment a fhort time back, f j r thia community, owing to a disoourse giv-en us at the Beulah church, by our beloved pastor, Elder G. W. Bistick; on the Baptist Church Govern-mer.t. In the course of bis elucidation, he showed from the New Testament teaching what seemed plainly to me. that the church which Christ set up was upon Baptist principles, and Christ has said that the gates of heU should notprevaU against his -hurch. Now ihea, here being the pattern, ho fol-lowed down from the primitive day to cuf day, to show who were the followers of Christ's church, or ^o fe who hid not gone off with the Scarlet Woman ami presecated the saints, and imbued them in the blood of the Martyrs. To show in part, what peo-ple according to inspiration had a right to claim rc-lation hip with the martyrs whom John saw under the throne, crying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost ihna not judge and avenge oar blood on them that dwell on the earth?' He also showed who had gone off with tha woman, and spoke of the Methodists whose history is plain; Mt np by John Wesley less than a centuay ago. In speaking of the Methodist and their founder, some of that fraternity became vastly angry, and though they nnftssed frirndsbip for the Bro. Boetick before, vflien church government was talked of, and it was shown that John Wesley's church conld not claim afflaity with the church Christ set up, then to use a homely expression, - the f j t was all in the fire," The Methodists were now an-used—passing by some remarks made by a Methodist now no more, which I shall cot repeat—we arrive to the Rev. D. D. White, a local prcacher residing in another county, who gave notico that ha would prtach upon the subject of baptism, and discourse on the revision queition, on two certain days named. The day for the baptism amved, and he brought forward a host <.f books to prove that afi'usioa was the most scriptural mode, when nothing was netdcd but the E?icd old book.

To give a specimen, he said Christ's baptism was not the christian baptism. That Polycarp waa a disdple cf John's and that he, John, tkd him that he practicsd infant baptism. [Very strange, if this be so, that John did not tell the. world this in his writings ] That for a man to baptize another who I.adthe ordinance performed by a minister anthorited to baptize, even though it might have been dona ic in.'iuicy, was committing blasphemy. And to cap climax, he produced soire engravings out of some book, perhaps Chapman's, representing infant bap-tism, John pouring water on Christ's head, , taken as he said from some engravings on stone, ol great antiquity.

Mr. White further made some remarks on the Iron Wheel; said it was a book of slander, 4c. Bro. Bostick being present, taking no part in the sprink-ling, baptismal controversy, asked permission to pay a few wcrds in relation to the Wheel. That he thought he had misrepresented i t to. He also ex-pn-ssed a willingness to answer Mr. White on the

Jlevision su'oject, if be would postpone it from the next day to some future time, which was agreed to-

Thc fourth Scnday in September waa assigned for ths parties to meet, on i a Methodist ground. In the meantime, however, the Methodist talk be-came pretty general, most cf them were opposed to diiwus-sion, and finally the meeting-honse, a new one, was refused them. They met, however, under the arbor, and instead cf Revision, the Wheel con-troversy cime up, aad you may be assured that it did not sog'-r badly. I tell you that it is an argu-ment that cannot, in my opinion, ba controverted succes.-fu'ily against, with general featuns.

Mr. White produced a discipline which he said ho d;d not have any thing in it about Band Sideiits I have never seen ona yet but had, and I think he should in ^limess show whether it was abstracted, or whether the lj«t General Conference sutick it oat.

Motion vnw made that the next d*y shoold be appointed for the discussion on Revision, but was objected ta by the Methodist, ard thus tho matter ended- The following Thursday had been appoin-ted for a Camp-meeting, at the same place, but was changed into one of them qaartoriy Couts I believe, that Toa gp^k of in tha Wheel.

Now I am DO advocate for discnsincna at all limes, bnt when error is preached abroad in the land, a ; plain as noonday, it does seem that a David should go forth to meet the Goliah sometimes; and, I think on such occasions, the church should asoiat to hold np their champion. I have no iU will against the Methodists, I love them, hat cannot advocate all their erronfccs doctrine. - Truly there seems there ia a people that cannot

endure sound doctrine. May the Lord the Harvest lead them into the ri^t way. And if I am wrong. Lord teach ma to know thy will, and leam the bet-ter way. Bat I feel that if I am saved at all, it is not for works which I have done, but solely throngh the sovereign mercy and grace of God.

a y Dr. Kane, having demcnstrated the existence of an open Polar Sea, scientiac deduction is at work to find out the cause of the anomaly. A cor-respondent of the New York Times thinks that these ceuscs will be found in the centrifugal force and tbo internal heating power of the earth. The centrifugal force has a tendency to heap up tha wa-ters under tho Equator, thereby producing a con-tinual surface current towards the South, and a constqucn'. abscence cf water from tho polar re-gions, which must bo sappKed and is, undou'otcdly. by a sub laarine current. The waters dcscend in the temperate regions of the earth, where they are much above the freezing point; their heat is retai-ned and probably i n e r e a ^ at the vast depths in which they move and when they emerge at and about tha Pole they produce a warm and open sea, and a warm atmosphere tbont it. But in their flow to the south, tho superabundant caloric of the water is continually being given off until they are fitrally reduced to the freeimg point, and ultimate-ly bceoma vast fields of ic».

P A S J T A L O O I T S WiTHOtrt SrsPEnwas —Professor I * Bcrde, of South Cartdina College, in his recent work on Physiology, says;

As tha women have concluded to dispense with shoulder straps, some men, especially in the dtv, have thought that they would prove pantaloons can eb worn without snspenders. The men now" strut the streets with their pantaloons tightly buttoned, side by side with the women, whose skirts or petii-aoats are firmly bound around their persons. Up-on a fiir view the evil is the same in both cases, pressure upon the vital organs; impairment of their proper action, want ofdcvelopDient, deformity, dis-ease, and premature death.

The New York Phrenokigical, Journal sajr . '•As we walk the atresU of our city, we see

soores of boya from twelve to sixteen years old with their pants buckled very tightly around th>jir« disccmnected bodies, preventing growth at this ran-tJly growing aga. and the result is a generation of dyspeptic, pale faced, pony apo'c^as for mcu. '

TEyKT38EE R I T E B B S I D O E BtTiKED.—The mcst serious ca^mity in the catalogue of Railroad acvi-dents, has befallen tho Nashville and Chattanooga Roilroad. That immense structure, the Tenne.-Si-e river bridge, canght fire on Tursday night, suppos-ed from a spark from the locomotive, and (erta hundred feet were conramed, Tha cars are row only ranning hence to the Tennessee River, where they c^^nnect with the trains from Chattanooga by means of l)oats. The loss lo the road in business and in the expense of rt-building, will b« e ic«d-ingly heavy. _

"I w*nt no Priest bat Jcstis!" is often the cry tX the dying pessmt, who i few years or even months before, considered the anointing of the Romish con-fessor indispensable to salvation, and a sore pass-port to eternal glcny.—Lcndcm Irish Reporter.

"I wast no priest but Jesus To save my sin-sick soul.

I want no hand bnt Jesna Put forth to make me whole.

The priest may Inll and cheat the war, Bnt cannot light the dying day.

I want the lore <rf Jesun Enshrined -within my soul,

if<nr that my fooUtep presses Where Jordan's waters roll.

Ha thonght so sweet—no grace so free, As Jesus died—and died for me !

I s ea t h e h a n d o f J e s u s H o l d i n g t h e l a m p o f l i g h t ;

Could priest have power—could aught but He Jtaie the dark^pathway bright fur me *

Like elands of night and darkness, All ronnd our cabins hung?

It may-be these were cords of lovp, To linw poor Erin's heart aborel

Dear Erin, think of Jesus, How he hath loved thee,

And how ho bore thee on his heart, When bleedin^on the tree'

Tfflij years of coldness—years of hlood' Have sever quenched that welling flood

Come then O blessed Jesus, With all thy glorious pnwcr.

The number of females in ncariy all oar church-es is double that of the male members. Many of thsa ara in affluent circumstances, or at least sup-ported comfortably, hy the business of their hus-hands or fathers, (unless incumbered with the rare of thair family) with no other occupation but to glorify Gad in doing good. They are qualified by their education, their position in society, their abundant leisure, and moral and intellectual nature, to exert an extensive and powerful iniiuencc. Ought not the church to see to it, that these rich pfta »rs not wasted in indolence, for want of sui-table opportunity for exertion? Ought there not to be an organized system of bevevolcnt and evangeli-cal operations in every church, by which pious la-dies may act eminently towthcr in promoting Christ's kingdom, and aid each other by mutual ad vice and co-operation?

A T r a p T a l r

Oa the eleventh and twelfth of July last, I had the pleasure of attending a debate b e t w e e n Elder -M. L. Langley, Baptist, and Elder Wm. Ogle,-Campbdllte. Propositicn—':To a real penitent be-liever, christian baptism is in order to the remssion of past sins.1' Ogle affirmed, and I-angcly denied. Mr. Ogle was making his opening speech when 1 arrived at the scat of war: and had he not stated tha proposition jost before he closed, we never could have told what subject he was on, but have been lost in his national harangue.

Bro. Langly arose, and complained of bis oppo-nent for not tonchiDg the proposition, and thus giv-ing him nothing to reply to. lie, however, took up the proposition, and proved tho negative. This he was compelled to do, for Mr- Ogle, to my mind, brought forwrad no pnxjf to sustain the affirma-tive. - _

There were several speeches on both sides during the day, and both parties went away without much seeming advantage. The Campbellites went away that evening, no doubt—from all seeming appear-ances—fceliog their Ciuliah would the next day, with little trouble, slay the !plow-boy;" but no one can tell what a day will bring forth. The debatents were by no means equals in point of education, language and power of delivery. Mr. Ogle has had far sup.jrior advantages to Bro. Langley, and could no doubt, upon the right side, handle his subject very well.

The crowd at the close of Bro. Langley s last speech in the evening, di.^ersed among the kind and hospitable Campbellites of the neighborhood.

Thursday morning found us all well, and at the place of battle. Mr. Ogle opened with unnsual warmth: so much to, that in cach Caiupbellite countenance, a perfect triumph could be read; but distress was justahead- The day before had taught Bro. Langley what kind of an opponent his was, and at night he altered his stakes, built his fortress and was ready that moringfor an even tight. Mr. Ogle produced no proof, as usual—notwithstanding all his party had doue their best for him. and Mr. James Wade, in particular. Mr. Ogle closed his morning speech, with the full eye of his brethren upon him. Bro. Langley arose, said that he should not attempt to follow his opponent in his wild iamb ling, and that he wished the audicnce to bear in mind, that he badbecii a whole day trying to bring Mr. ' Igle to the proposition, but was unable. That he knew no reason why he was so afrai l i f his ows proposition: except that he felt unable to sustain it. lie had found that he could not be reasuncd to it, and he would see if he could be driven to it. He then asked Mr. Ogle tha following questions.

' What do you mean in tho proposition, by remis-sion of sinsP

Ans.—-'To remit, set free from sin, ta pardon, '-Can any get to heaven without having their sins

remitted!"1

Ans.—-Xo-"" '-When are sins remitted, before baptism, in the

act of baptism, or after baptism?" Ans.—-In the art of baptism " -What is baptism'" Ans.—-tmiueisiorr:" D.-o. Langcly then called upon the congregation

to 0"tc these questions and answers. Remission means to remit sins: none can get to heaven unless their sius arc remitted: sins are not remitted to any but the baptized, and nothing is baptism but im-mersion. Then noiic can get to heaven but the im-mersed. Sir. Ogle, in his proposition, sends all infints aud Pcdobaptists to hell. This fell like a thunderbolt upon the Campbellites present A con-siderablc stir ensued. Mr. Ogle and Mr. Wade, (Ogle's mod,) rose to their feet, claimed that that was unfair dealing. That it was not right to run the admission of an apparent to a final issue. The excitement was soon over, and Bro. Langley pro-ceeded. and from that time on he held the l.ton of the tribe of Arkansas Campbellites chained.

11 was evident to all that the tables had turned. Mr. Ogle was completely entangled in the marshes of Baptismal Regeneration. lie arose, but bang confused, made no reply to Bro. Lmgley's speech. The most he said about it was, that it was ail irrel-evant, and that lie would notice it at some other time; but that time took care not to come.

Bro. Langley rose, and Mr- Ogie had said noth

Langley is wholly a self-made man," and deserves v great deal of credit. lie is an humble, faithful, uncompromising Baptist. He disclaims popularity at the" expense of truth and principle. U^consults not feeling, nor worldly interest where truth de-mands his attention. We disdain the brother that would enviously impede his progress.

Pone by the request of many brethren. Tnos. II. CoMrKTiK.

Did at the residenre of bis I'ncle, near Bluff Springs, Miss., on the 5th of Nov., 1S55, Mr. Wil-liam M. Maddock, in the 22nd year of his age.

The subject of this notice was born in the Stato of Georgia in 1*33. Having lost his parents in early life, ho came to this Stato with his Uncle, where he was reared up to manhood, and remained in our midst until he was summoned away to his last resting place in heaven.

Bro. Maddock had been a consistent member of the Baptist church for about three years. His in-tercourse with men was marked with an urbanity, courtesy and true benevolence which endeared him to a large circle of friends and acquaintances. His modest, retiring and unaffcctcd piety, commended him to the christian regard of all who knew' him. Constant in his attendance on sanctury privileges, he rapidly grew in grace and ill the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

It Is indeed seldom that wc reach maturity of christian character at such an age, as was illustra ted in the life and deportment of our young friend. He was truly a model, christian gentleman: the death of such a person cannot but be a loss in which the church and rommunity alike sympathize. Long will he live tn the aflectionatc remembrance of those who enjoyed bis society.

It was fitting that the casket which enshrined a spirit so pure, so sweet, so blessed, should find its last repose under no circumstances of darkness and or glciom Resting on the sweet promise of his Sa-vior he hid the world adieu. Robed in a simple dress of spotless white his body has entered the narrow rontinrs of the tomb: while his spirit has pine to reap the reward of the finally faithful in 1 leaven .

May be who tempereth the winds console the hiaiis of Ins alHirtcl friends and relatives.

was no unweleomo visitor, well he knew that his :race was run, that liis course was finished, and

henceforth there was a crown of rejoicing laid up for him in heaven."

A large circlc of relatives and friends arc left to deplore his departure, t!But it is appointed unto man once to die," and it is a consolation to us to know that our loss is his otcmal gain—that these light afflictions work for us a far more exceeding and external weight of glory.

It is my painful duty to record the death of another member of »ur church. Sister Rebecca Holmes, one of our most active and zealous young members, departed this life on the 19th of Septem-ber last, after a painful and protracted illness of about three mouths. During her whole illness her soul seemed to be in sight of heaven. Not a cloud, not a fear, not a doubt disturbed her mind. Joy and pcace possessed her soul all the time, and songs of praise employed her through day and night, when her strength allowed it. She was quite young, but fully ripe for immortality. She was in her seventeenth year when she died, and had been a member of the church three years and fifteen •1 iVS, w. c. B .

TooTars—Harry B-SJ a Carolinian: we are Geor-gians. But we knew him well even in boyhood.— We were school-mates of h i s - j a s : his age. He [ i n ? worth noticing, he proceeded to prove that an

ride of the school: shone without a rival, i n d i " d a ! d ^ w i t h o u t b a I > r i f ^ a n d ^ was the pride though sixty strove to equal him: but no one felt en-•rions of him. He was hrave, yet gentle. Though onr leader in our boyish duties, and in evciy athlet-ic game, he shewed no marks of haughtiness or pride. Though he bora away from us every high hon-or, he exulted not, and we loved him as a brother. Wn lore even now, to sailer memory to bring back the image of that noble boy. Our eyes are moist-ened at the remembrance of what he was—we can not if wa are said to be unmaniy: we must drop a tear when we-think about his fall. Years rolled around: we were sent away to a Northern College; Harry, to the institution of his native State. "We often wrote to him. and we heard with joy of hil Standing at home. In college, he was the idol of his companions: the pride, the boast of his tutors. After a long time we met him again, the outlines of fbrmer beauty had ripened into the graces of man-hood. bnt the frankness of boyhood was still seen, won^d. affection beamed in his eye, and wc hailed ton with joy. Harry immediately studied law— Wfl admit.tnl with honor. lie was just two and twenty-when we were called to witness his marriage. We had. never seen Jane but we found her beau-tiful—worthy of Harry. How glorious was the world opening before that youthful pair! How pleasures beckoned them! They were rich in the wnrid'i goods—happiness danced in their sight. We removed to Carolina and resided there—it was s* Harry;s request. Another year passed away— Harry's aura manly countenance was bloated and disfigured. -'Ardent spirits did it.'1 We too hail been hia companion in scenes of revelry. Wc had almost become the victim of intemperance. We •hudder at the thought of what we mre. One day we were sent for in haste- We "went to Harry 's hense—we rushed into his room—he was dying. He pressed our hand convulsively. He looked at HI, at hia wife, his father, most fearfully. He mas-tered his remaining strength and caflcd his father. fHis father was a B<rptist, a temperate man—I be-Iiere him to be a Christian.) The old man came. Father, said the jjfing Harry, I haye a legacy to leave you. I-Sp«i£,n was the only- word he could utter. The young man said—I revered you when a boy, I loved yea and wished to be Eke you. Ton were a temperate man—you taught me to drink by giving me liquor when a child—there was nothing in it to startle the youthful mind. You were never drunk, but I am a drunkard, and I am going to helL. Hell ia in my heart. The legacy I wish to leave you (the ealnrnea of despair was upon his face ) is—lie atrsej iff your dying son.

We fbOowed Harry to Ins grave the next day. We heani the sod as it rattled upon the coffin of our rumradg. The old man. his father, was there. We WW hhn stand gazing upon that solemn scene No t a r was in his eye. Once we saw a tremulous motion about liis lips.

That old man is partially deranged. He will often •waki ai the night, crying, '-That he am ieor te «•» tuning lum m Hill." V.

a iintn sbonld be baptise<l. not lo make him a child of <iod, but becatioc he was a child of liod. Bro. Laaglcy offcred the following sjlogiomb for Mr. Ogles consideration:

1st. Mr. Ogle admits that a man must believe before he is baptized. John says: lie tliat bc-licreth is born of God." Then a man mast be born cf (lod before he is baptized. This is all be claim-ed.

'itl. Mr. Ogle s»ys that, 1 since Pi-ntioist, no one has been regenerated without baptism-'1 (immer-sion.) Then since Peaticost none have gone to heaven but the baptized, (immersed.) Again we lintl he sweeps off Pcdobaptists. and many true be hovers, who have D C T C T been baptized.

3d- Whatever contradicts the Bible, is not the truth. Mr. Ogle's system contradicts the Bible— therefore Sir. (>gle:s system is not the truth. Clos-ed for refreshments.

Afternoon. Mr Ogle opened with a chrcring and auimatcd spcech: but much more inconsistent than any preceding one. Bro. I.angley's sylogiums were very annoying. lie was by no means cantions his expressions. These arc a few: If faith is a condition of salvation, baptism is equally so.'' ' The doctnnc of justification by faith alone, has done more harm than all the skepticism in. all the world!' •Baptism is in connection with the salvation of man or the Bible is false.' By baptism we get into Christ, and in no other way.' 'We do not get in by faith-' :Brrptism inducts into the spiritual king-dom of Christ.' 'Since the day of Penticost. not a single individual has been regenerated without bap-tism.'T His speech was filled up with just such expressions, and he clcscd without an argument, to mind. Bro. Ijtnglcy then rose, and handled several of Mr. Ogle's bold assertions much to the distress of Mr- Ogle and his brethren, evidently. lie tiled in his proofs and arguments to sustain the negative; for he was forced to do the proving, though he was in the negative. lie showed in what was Camp-bdlism falsified the Bible.

It wasdccidedly the best effort he made. lie f n m i J u ^ Vr fl^'r with q f p w mum n f these detes-table syllogisms.

1st. Faith is a condition of Salvation, (the Bible} "Baptism (immersion) is equally, with faith, a con-dition at saljation." (Ogle.) Then without bap-tism (immersion) aorie can be saved, since none can be saved without salvation.

2d. By baptisjB, (immersion) wc get into Christ, [Ogle.) No one "will get to heaven out of Christ, (the Bible ) Then none but the baptized (immers-ed) will get to heaven*. _

3d. <• Baptism inducts as into tho spiritual king-dora," (Ogle.) None can get to heaven out of the sptritual kingdom, (the Bible.) Then none but the baptized (immersed) will get to heaven.

These syllogisms, and Bro. Langley's arguments and proofSfWere all -too- irrelevant for Mr. Ogle. They did not seem to suit his fancy. lie made an-other attempt to speak, which was by far the poor-est speech ke made. In this speech, he attempted to sum up his proofs and arguments, as it was his last, but found thisrjuite a difficult task: for proof had not been upon his sido, and he had H not to sum up. Bro. langley closed the'debate, principal-ly in recapitulating his former speeches, enforcing gome of hi| arguments and proofs, and calling par* dollar attention to those syllogisms,'and Mr. Ogle's fear of them. The discussion closed in pcace, quite to the satisfaction.of the Baptists present. ~ /"I consider it, taking the qualification of the two mnriirio mmiriflntifBij* iiiuMipimitTietory. Bro.

S K C R E T Pit TVEIT.—Christ ian brother, hast thou "entered into thy closet" daily of late' If not. what dishonor thou hast done to Him who stands reaily there lo hear, "all thy petitions.' IIow much love for your family could you be supposed to possess, if you should stay away from the family circlc whole days, and cat and sleep in yotir barn' You can cat your hread from heaven only in the closet and keep your heart warm with the love of Jesus nnliy there. If you arc willing to venture through the </n»err« arid to assume the responsibilities of any day of your life without Christ for your guide • d strength, on ilicl day omit entering your closet . on no other.

Again: hast thou considered the closet the place for the rirhial mhicvrmrnl of the main business of life? Jacob had been many years actum out the views gained and plans form.id in sen d communion with <iod. when he was about to meet F.san who might destroy hitn. Now he must again >i"m vic-tory airl siurcss in hisserrc! communion with <io<l. In going to and from Padanaram, he achieved the great • nds he aimed at in secret intercourse with God. Before we have God with us in outward la-bor, we must seek him and obtain his direction and promise of help in secret. <>, if thy heart was more in the closet, it would he more full of hope in the church of God, whsre :hou oughtest to • play the man" always.—I tm. •• Chrmudc.

I SI 7 and for the last seventeen years was a citizen of Franklin County: and for mine than 1 years hail been a practicing physi-cian. He was, for about nine years, a zealous member of our Order, and had attained to the high-est degree conferred by the Lodge. lie wa.s an exemplary member of the Bapt;"t church -and to his i-uorgy and liberality, this community is, in a great measure, indebted for the establishment of a Baptist church ill this place, and also the establish inert and success of the Female Institute, under the patronage of that church. Ha was a firm friend a kind husband and father—an entcrpri-

g liberal energetic citizen and a chnstain. Therefore:

Kfsnh-ed. That in the death of Dr. A. B. Gordon, this community has lost a useful citizen, and our Order an ardent, consistent member.

lirsnlved. That we deeply deplore the death of our brother, but have the consolation of knowing tha. "Our loss is his eternal gain.1'

I'.rsalvrd That we tender to his family and friends our sincere and unleigned sympathy in this, their severe bereavement.

r.i siilveil, That in token of resjiect for our broth-er, the members of our Order be directed to wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.

lirsitlrcd. That these proceedings be spread on the minutes of the Ijodge; a copy furnished the fair.ily of our deceased brother: and that the -'South-ern Star" and Tennessee Baptist" be requested to publish them. J . F K I Z Z E L I . ,

E l d e r I N e r r e l l R o b e r t i o n . S e n i o r .

Died at his residence in Covington county, Mis-sissippi, on Saturday, September 10th, 1X55, Elder Norvell Robertson, Sen., in the Olstycarof his age.

The Bimple announcement is enough to carry grief and sorrow to many hearts in the southern part of this State. As his depaitmg spirit took its flight to the realms of glory, well might the sorrow-ing saints around exclaim, "My father, my fatlic r. the chariots of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. Ahis! he has gone. The church of Christ has lost in 013 death an able defence, although for several years of his latter life he has been deprived the privilege of speaking from the stand, on account of debility, he has not been idle. Onr departed broth-er and father, wis a christian worthy of the name —a christian of great decision of character. lie hesitated only to find the right, and having found It, his courseVas marked with becoming energy.

But to a majority of our brethren in South Mia-sisiippi, he was too well known to deed the eulogy of our pea. With them I desire only to drop a tear to his memory, to weep over departed excellence. Elder Rcbertson was born o:i the 22d of Slay, 1785, having reached the same year in age that his father did. Reared in the midst of persecution, he learn-ed that humility which characterized him in after lifu. A decided or strong Bible Baptist; ever man-ifesting an abideing confidence in God, his Savior, that gave him energy in the turmoils incident to the day in which he lived, and resignation under the chastnings of Providence. Xleck and lowly, yet ever ready with boldness to labor in bis Master's vineyard. Neither summer's heat, nor winter's cold, availed to lessen his labors. *

Bro. R. was a native of Virginia, but moved from that State to Georgia, where he begun his labors about the year 1803. He moved to thi* State seme thijty years sgo, and has been principally engaged in the work of pointing sinners to the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world, since that time- But he is no more here, but gone to enjoy

| the rewards of hisbrilB while here. To him death i a L - j C f d - . j / i
