Then those preachers who - went on tour after Uur ' did not have an agenjy for the collection of money, but must have believed God, that he weuid be as good as his word; and so ''went on tour after tour ' in that faith. So it is with us ; we » go on tour after tour," trying to put our trust in the Lord, beUeving that he will do right, and we have always found him as good as his promUes ; far he has given our brethren liberal hearts, so they think it not amiss to ad-minister U us their cirual things, when they receive from us spiritual things, and thoy know that God's plan U that those who preach the gospel shall live of the gospel. And so we ge with faith in God, who controls the hearts of men, without begging before we start or while we are gone, (e)

This is ihe course purauei by our breturen, and God owned and ble-sed their labors, and we have reason to believe that he has extend^ Ihe same boon to ua ; and we cannot see why we are not the same people with them. Our doctrine agrees with that which they taught, our institutions are the same with theirs, and our practice in reference to the spread of the

' gospel is in strict accord with theirs, and as Mr. D. agrees that they wore of the Primitive Or-der he cannot be consistent without acknowl-edeing that we are the same people.

XOT SIE !! A g ^ Eld. Fain says: " When these peo-

ple (the Separate BaptisU) left us, they left us where they found us," etc. Uistory shows that the Sepca-aU Baptists never left any body of Baptists, much less the *o called Old Schooi Baptists. They neyer had any con-nection with the main Baptist family for the first twenty years of their existence. They were called Separate Baptists from the be-ginning of their existence until they united with the Regulars, since which time no such name has been known. And again the Separate BaptisU could not possibly har* separated from the socalled Old Sdiool Baptists, because they ceased to exist at least a quarter of a century before any snch a people as Old School BaptisU were known, which, according to Eld. Trott, their own historian, was about A. D. 1S32.

Again Eld. Fain says: " They " [the Sep-aimte BaptisU] " are opposed to the modem scheme of missionary operations." Are they indeed? How can such be the case when ne such a people exist 7 But I suppose Bro Fain wanU to make the impression that there are at least two "respecUble orders" of BaptisU who are opposed to missiona, that is, his ovn people and the " Separate order," when, in truth, the last named do not exist, and have not for siany years. Try again, Bro. F^n .

(b) It is absolutely astounding that Mr. Fain should affirm that the " Hissionary BaptisU" spUt off from the "Oid Bsptists," and that they " set up for themselrea under the name of Missionary Baptists." This asser; tien ajid the truth in the case are at ant i-podes. 1 o show how exceedingly reckless our reviewer—Mr. F.—is in his sUtement of facU from history, we will give the tesUmony of a*o-ca«ei01d School Baptiit. Tne witness is the celebrated Kid. S. I'rott, who wrote an account of his people for a work called "Religious Danominations." In giTing an account of the split,'' which began their existence, Eld. Trott says: "This brought brethren, churches and Associations, that had been groaning under the burden of^ human inventions and impositions in relig-ion, to separate themselves, some sooner and some later, from the whole mass of the pop-ular religion and religionisU, and to take a stand as a distinct people upon the Old Baptist standard—the holding of the Scrip-tures as the en.'j/ and a ptrfecl rule of faith arid practice, and Christ as the loundation, the head and life of the church, ihe only source and medium of salvation. This separation ODcasioned the splitting of several Associa-tions an.i many churches. We took, as a distinguishing appellation, the name 'Old School Baptists.' " (Rel. Denom. in U. S. & G. B. in Baptist Succession, p. ) Here is a caadid admission by an Oid School Bap-tist, 80 called, that they "separated them-

" left tu where they found us," as you say of the ''SeparaU BaptUtt."

I have searched your Associational rec-ords, and have attended your meetings, and have heard and seen nothing of the "send-ing out of missionaries," of the " religions culture of children," of " mission funds," and of " schools for training joung ministers," all of which things were eommon a hundred yean ago among the BaptisU of this coun-try, and two hundred years ago among the English Baptists, as you will find when we reach their history. In practices " there is a wide difference between yoor people and our ^Primitive Baptist fathers " Strange in deed that yon should claim identity with them. You do so at the expense of the facU

the case. They were " pioneer missionary

in bodies. Your churchea and Anociations are really opposed to missions, else why do they not send men tu preach the gospel to the destitute?

(c) Mr. Fain seems sometimes to be al-most a Missionary, then agiun he see.vs far away from i t He seems wholly arerte to anything like system from what he says aboTe. All right, Bra Fain. But your Bible tells yau that "ererything should be done decently and in order." But of coarse yon are opposed to order. All right; you and the Bible for t h a t Let the reader again read what he says abore about "systematically oomVming of their eSbrta."

We again call attention to what he says about the similarity of the practices of his people to that of our early Baptist fathers, and for a refutation of his bare aiKrtiofu re fer the reader to onr last answer, and even all our former answers.

(d) Of course they all sang, and prayed, and preached, in an early day, as well as in modem times. If being alike in these r& spects will identify Eld. Fain's people with the early BaptisU of this country, then we might also conclude that his people are identical with the Mormons, for they also sing, and pray, and preach, and have im mense audiences—.just what Mr. P. claims for his people.

Doubtless many of Eld. F.'s people would be Mifflionary BaptisU were it not for the money question " The love of money is the

t30.4S But if he received $100 from each church, then he would have received from the four churches $50 90 more than his sup-port, which he would be under obligation to give to the cause or pay back into the church treasury. This calculation is based upon the supposition that the rate of a man's labor should be as high for a p s ^ of his time as for his whole time. But is this true? Let us look at it from a practical stand-point If we should engage a physi-cian to do our practice for a year for a stipulated amount, and he should only give u« two sevenths of the attention we needed, thereby leaving us to suffer with a sick family on account of his negligence, would we be willing to par him twoserenths of the amount agreed upon for the year ? We would not. The courU of the country would not give him anything. If a farmer should hire a laborer for a year for $150, and that hand should leave him in May with his crop to go to waste for want of cultivation, would he be willing to pay said laborer for the time he worked, a l the rate agreed upon by the year? I think no t Hence, reasoning upon the question of pas-toral support from this point, it is erident that he who only devotes two-serenths of his time to pastoi^ work is not entitled to the fnll rate of support for the time he is engaged, if indeed he U enUUed to any-thing. Lest some should think this reaconing is not founded upon the Scriptures, I pro-pose to show from the Scriptures that it is the da'.y of a preacher to give his whole time to the work • of the ministry. Paul says to Timothy, " Be thou an example of the believers in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, gire attendance to reading, to e ^ o r t -ation, to doctrine. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with tht laying on of the hands of the presbytery. Meditate upon those things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. " (Ist Tim 4: 12-15

Paul's charee to Timothy is," Thou t h e r ^ fere, my son. b«» strone in thA erac«» that i^ in Christ .Tesus And the things that thou hast heard of m<» amonz manv witnesses.

men are required to endure the "elf-deaial that ministeTs of the goepei ar*. They must, like Paul, count no* their lives dear unto them, that they may tinish their course with joy

This is the Scriotural idea of a rospel preacher; and in the ratio that the ministry approximates thi?: standard will we see the cause pro»per in their bands. None only those who really feel called of God will dare to devote their whole time to the cause. Men who feel that they are at liberty to give their best service to secular affair*, and only put in the fraements of their time in preach-ing the gosr.el. need not complain if they are not supported by the churches. If this standard was obierVied, and it was trader-stood that all paBtorg were expected to de-vote their whole time, then would we not perhaps have so many preachers on our rolls, but they would be much devoted and be better sustuned. This class of preachers would watch for souls aa ther that muat give account The ordinance of God is th4t they who preach the gospel shall lire of the gos-peL The preacher who devotes his whole time to the ministry should receive his whole support from the churches, and not o J ier-wise. When the churches are made to u n -derstand and feel that they are partakers of the spiritual things ministered by the pas-tora, these churches will not think it a great thing if the pastors are; partakers of their carnal things.

Thus have I bri^fiy noticed the dnty of pastors to their churches. Brethren of the ministry, while we strive to teach the churches their duty toward their pastors, let us carefully study and practice cur duty to-ward onr churches: and waen the Master comes, may he find us - so doing," and ex-claim, " well done, thou iiood axd faithful servant: thou hast been faitnful over a few things: I will make thee ruier over many things: enter thou into the iov of thv Lord"

These, wita this srange djcUine, were ex-cluded from our fellowship, bu. continue to call ihenis»lve9 Old Baptists, and were we to judge by Mr. D. s rem.ris, we should conclude that these are the only kind of Old Bapugts he knows anything about. But they are not our people, ner are we in|any sense accountable for their doctrine or practice, and you could not have made a more egregious error than you presented to us, when you said that these tSep-a r a ^ and Patkerites, who oppose your mission-ary rystem, are one pcopie with us.

Mr. D. farther ssys, Their efforts to evan-selixi the people were not generally assys-

- teu'.ic illy combined as are tne efforts of the Baptist deBoiainatioD of the nineteenth cen tury." T.his is very true, for the Primitive Order of BaptisU never have, in any age,.com-bined effe ts in the same way and with the same view that the meiem sect of Mission-aries have ia the nineteenth century. This

^ we regard as a Ucit acknowledgment of the Cici that the Mistioaaries now are not the sa me people with those early churches. Ve know that the people of this ceuntry are suBcieatly acquaint^ witk our habiU and eastoss to kaaw that our miaUUrs are aad have been }-nr«niag precisely the same course that ha marks out for the ministers of the gospal ef thoee days.

But how dees the Missienar j practice agree with that ef those old people ? Let echo aaswer, howM When they (the Old BaptisU) met at tAeir Assoeiatioaal sppoiatiaiBta. their princi-pal object was to worship; God (aa their roBtiae of hasiakss was very tight, having ne iasthatioas of men to earefor); they eoold spend their time in rtngiac, praying'aad HMchiagUe nspel efa crucified Bedeeotar U lost aad peruCag einaers.

The reader will be surprised to leam that no such people have existed in any country for more than half a century. The facU in the case are these: About the middle of the seventeenth century the SeparaU BaptisU originated from the SEPARATES, an evangel-ical body of PedobaptisU who arose under the labors of Whitefield in New England. Shnbal Steams was converted and joined the Separates; l O O n after which he became a Baptist, and began preaching and baptising, and he and the churches which grew up under his labors were called Separate Bap-•jsU, as he and they did not at that time co-

ination, and " took a name," before unknown among the Baptists. Prior to this time (about 1S32) there existed na people array-ed against missions, as your people of to day are, Bro. Fain. Your people separated from their brethren on account of missions, claiming that the missionary work was some thing new, when, in fact, as has been shown, the first Associations on the American con-tinent were missionary bodies, as the Phila-delphia, the Charleston, etc. We claim, therefore, that your assertion that our peo-ple " split off from yours," is simply a per-version of the truth, as teaUfied to by your own historian, Eld. Trott, and corroberated by all credible historians. Such assertions are made either to mislead or they are the fruit of a pr^udiced mind. FacU warrant this conclusion. Bat Eld. Fwn's people Lave, in hundreds of cases, vilified and abused the people from whom they separatr-

Simply, we fear, because the Missionary BaptisU, or aa they may be properly called, the Bepdar Baptists, have gone on, have labored to save souls «nd been greatly bless-ed, and have quadrupled in the last fifty years or less; while Bra Fain's people have only about held their own. But, Bra Fun, when we have listened at such epithete as

money huntera," " pickpockeU," etc., used your people, and applied by them to

T HIS is a subject upon which compara Uvely little has been sud and written,

and yet it it one of as great importance aa any other in connection with tbe prosperity of our churches. Many things have been aaid, wise and otherwise, respecting the duty of ohurches to tbeir pastors. The duties are reciprocal Many preachers act as though they thought the sum toUl of their duty as pastors ia to meet their churches once a month, preach tbe best they can from the impulse of the moment (without previotu study), on Saturday hold conference, pre-side as Moderator, adyust the business aa tha brethrra may have it arrasfed, preach again on Sunday, then dismiss that congre-gation and their work for that plaoa for a whole month. This style af pastoral work usually ukes two days in the seven of each i^eek. Where the preacher haa the c a n of four chnrches, five days of each week are spent in seaular employment If this class ef paatoia should receive two sevenths of tkeir snpport from their ahurahea, they woald kava no rifht to aomplida.

ways fulfill them. In this way he can be an example of the believers in word. He mtist be an example also in " conversation." His conversation should not be engro«*ed in tbe light and trivial thines of earth. Time is too precious to be spent in that way. Ministers ought to study to Uke advantage of every convenation in which they are engaged, to s p e ^ a word for Jesus, thereby settine this example to believers that they rnight follow i t Paul says " eur conversation is in heaven, from whence we look for the Stvior, the Lord Jesus Christ" He mu»t be an exam-ple of charity. Covetousness in church members is a great sin. but covetousnesa in preachers is a great deal more so. When-ever a oovetous preacher upbnuds his mem-b ' rs for not giving, they very naturally say, "Physician, heal thyself." The old a d a » . " Like prieat, like people," is true in thw in-stanca. The pastor mtut be an example to the believers in " charity." He must be an example in spirit He mnst live spiritually minded and thereby show to the member-ship that they should so liv& He ahonld be an example in " f«th." This may be regard-ed in a twofold sense. He shoald be an example in " f « t h " coiuidered as the doc-trine of the gospeL If a preacher u unsound in the fu th , his flock will most sorely be sa It is said there is no more sure way of poi-toning tbe people of a city than to poison the eisUm from which they all draw water. He shoald also be an example of faith in that he always tmsU Ood's providence, and endorea aa s e ^ g him who is invisible He shoald be an example in "purity.'* He shoald be a pare man, not bring mixed with the alloy of deceit and error. He is to give attention to reading." This is indispensa ble to aooceas in the ministry. The tl^t reads bat little is certainly not prepared to teach a great deal Paul deeded Timothy to o i d ^ only futhftil men who riioald be able also to teach othera. Paul "showed" and " t a o ^ t " his fioeka at Ephesna l i te paalor mast be a taaeher, and to do this he moat give attendanoe to reading.

And if you belonc to Jesus' army, you too will echo this sentiment When tbe cry goes ou t "Come over and help us," you and I, my brethren, must answer It is JMUS, the OapUin of our salvation, who speaka; we dare not treat his word wilh contempt At his word one day ihe whole race of man, from the least to the greatest, must come forth from the grave, must stand before him, and then ' (Matt 2 >; 31 )

It ia comforting to know that Jesus' word is powerful We feel tbat strongholds will be ptiUed down, that Satan will be corquer ed, that his children will be called Joft i from death to life eternal

Second. He spake such words of comfort ai never man spake. Who like him could bind up the broken heart snd give ret* to the w«iry ? Who could i - eak away the feara. the troubles and anxious antferings of years ? None but Jesus could help the Sytopheni-cian mother, none but he could comfort l.Axams' household. How tbe poor 'ored and beard him gladly. He must have spoken in sweeter s t r ^ ' s then .-Ter b u n t from the lips of a Sporgeon, a FU.Te', or any other great preacher. What a pii-asure to have heard him! To have stood on Olive's broa overlooking the beautiful city and listened to him teU of the coming judgment! To have aai before him at tbe uuerance of the sermoa on the mount! To have Lstnn-cd to his &rtwell discourse before the c m -ci:ixion—" Let not yoor heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid! " 0 Spirit of Ood, help us, as we read Jesus' words, to sit at Jesus' reet indeed, '* in spirit a t d in truth," ta feel their power, to rejoice tn their com-fo r t

EXEGETICAL. The Scarlet Colored Beast—The Be-Xation-

alized Papacy.

A n J he carr ied me away in the spir i t inJo the wilderness. And I saw a woman s i t t ing upon a scarlet beast, ful l of the names of blasphemv, i a - n n g seven heads and ten horns. Aad the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and P W j ^ gold, and precious stones and pearis, b a r i n g a g i lden enp in her hand, fal l of abominat ioas a n a the impurit ies of h e r fornica-t ion. And upon her forehead was a name writ-

i i r S T E S T . BABYLON T H E G3EAT. T H E MOTHEK O F T H E HABLOTS AKD OP THE A B O H I N A n O S S OF THE E A R T H .

A n d I l a w the woman drunken with the blood of tha aainta, a n d wi th the blood of the wit-nesaes of J e a n s ; a n d 1 wondered when I t a w her, with grea t wonder. A od the angel said to m e : Wherefore didst thou Tronder? 1 wi l l tel l tnee the myater j r 'of the woman, a n d of the j eas t tha t carr ies her , which h a s the leven heads and the ten horns. Tha baai t tha t thou laweat was, and is not, and is to come u p o u t e f m a abyss, and to go into p e r d i u o n ; and they wiU wonder who dwell on the ear th , whose names are not wr i t ten in the book of l ife from the fouadaUon of the world, seeing tho beast, tha t he was, and U not, and shall come.

Here is the mind tha t has wisdom. The seven heads are seven m o u n t ^ n s , cn which ths worn-

^ e j «re seven k ings ; the five are fallen, and t i e one is? the other is not ye t some; a a d when he comes, he must remain a litt le t ime. And the beast that was, and is s o t , ho als« is an eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into perdi t ion.

And t i e ten horns which thou sawest a re ten kings, who received no k ing lom as vet ; but re-ceive authori ty as kinsrs one h?ur, along with the beast. These have one mind, and give iue i r power a n d author i ty to the t t jas t . Taese w u l make war with the U m b . and the L a m b wi.1 overcome them; because he is Lord of

of k i n g s ; a a d they who are with him are called, a a d chosen, and f a i t h f u L

And ho says t o m e : The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sits, a re peoples and multitudes, a n d nat ions and tongues. And the ten horns -nrhich thou sawest, and the beast, Uiese will hate the h a r l o t and will m a k e he r d e l a t e and naked, and will eat her fiesh, and will burn her up with Sre. For God put i t into the i r hear ts to do his tri!!, and to form one porpese, and to give the i r k i n s Jom to the beast, an tU the words of Gcd shal l W fu;fil.ed.

And the woman which thou sawest is the grea t city, which has a k i n ^ i l o s over the k ings of the earth- (Rev. 17: 3-18.} WE have placed the whola chapter befcra

the reader, fearing that be would not stop to read it in ccnnection with what we say. (We have used the Bible Union ver-sion, becanse more accurate in i:^ tense ren-• leringB.) The qaestion with which we closed a previoaa article was this: Will the seTes-headed and ten horned beast of chap-ter thirteenth, which was permitted to con-tinne twelve hundred and siity years, for the parpose of persecuting and wearing down the saints, reappesr again and reaune his work of persecution ? " We answer yes, most undoubtedly, and for proof of our posi-tion point to the Scriptures above quoted. Who wUl doubt that thia beast is the same that disappeared at the close of the forty two months ? When he first appeared, he "came '•up out of the jea." Here he comes up out of the iottomkss pii, and when he disappears again he is to go into perdition (verse II) will appear no more^

Whea shown to John nnon his leappear-ance, the - O O I O T Aoi committed fornication with the kings cf the earth, a rd iu inhabit-anti had preTioa-dy been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. But the beast is now of a toT^ei color, and the woman seated upon him ia also "arrayed in purple and scarlet color"—they are red with the blood of the saints and martyrs of Jesus. These colors denote to our mind that upon this second appearing taey are far mor«» bloodthirsty and persecuting than at the Srst. 1; is not said of the woman then that she was "drunken with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs," nor that her golden cap was " /i-U of abominations and the unptmtiea of her fornication, ' nor the same ifystery, Babylon the Great—the seal upon her forehead—nor that the beast was •carlet; but that she committed fornication with the kiagi of the earth, and made i u in-habitants drunk with the wine cf her forni-cation—beguiled, deceived and destroyed them with her fake doctrjse, a.-; drunkards are by mixed wisa

John expressed no wonder and astoaiah-meni at the first appearance of the beast, or what he did; but upon this, his second apt psarance, he could bat express hia su rp r j e at the blooi the woman was pe.Taitted ta shed. VThea John Srst saw her she was making the drunk with her wine; now the ia drunken with, the Koo-i of sainU aad mar^rs. After John had »een the bea*t, the tagel ptocwds to explaiti to him the mustery of t]us woman and beast, which John doubt-I ® tkoaghr destroyed forever when they disai-peared fiffjm his vision at the close of the fatij-two moaths or twelve hundred and • i x t y j e a r a . ^ ^ ,

We cannot doubt, then, that thia icarlet beast that ascends out^of the i»t is the self-saiae beast that John law (in chapter thir' teenth) ascend out of the tea. The limiU of thia article do not allow us to give * full ex-planation of our views of this whole chapter, though we regard it as of the utmost inter-est, or at least should be, to every Christian of this age, for it reveals what is taking place and about to Uke place .before our eyes; but as the angel told John, it is only for the mind that has wisdom to be interested in and to understand the prophecy.* (See chapter 13: IS ) The one point that we wish to establish here is, that this scarlet bt^ast is the same beast that Jahn saw in chapter thirteenth, and we think we have done sa Upon ita reappearance, ten kingdoms are prepared, as at first, to constitute i t They may not be the self same in name, but will occupy the earth of Revelation, the old Ro-man empire.

These have one mind , and g ive their power and author i ty to the beast.

They make war with Christ, in the per-sons of the called and chosen acid faithful ones; for when he judges .these nations ( U a t t 25) he will say, " inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." The balance of thia chapter, and the nineteenth also, is the graphic history of the gradual destruction of this scarlet beast by the ten kings, until Christ appears in person atid consummates his utter overthrow, with that of the false prophet, by casting them alive into the luke of fire. (See chapter 19, verses 19, 20.)

These brief explanations of this remarka ble prophecy will enable us to understand, in some good measure, what ia transpiring before our eyea ia Germany and in England, as well as in Italy and the Vatican. We occupy that exact period of prophetic time when it can be truthfully said "the beast it not" He disappeared from the eyes of the world in IS70. Then the Pope lost the last vestige of his temporal power—the last nation that had supported him deserted him. The apocalyptic beast was no more. The apostate Church of Ron>e has no power to shed a drop of Mood, not even ia the seven-hilled city, nor within the walla o£ the Vatican. He dared not lift a fin-ger to hurt Grasai. Though weak and with oat a beast to ride, the Pope yet lives, and as a spiritual potentate be was never stronger or more dangerous. Though apparently vanquished, he has by no meani given up the fight. He is neither dead nor sleeping. He was never more awake and aggressiva Those who reckoned the Papacy as struck by a mortal blow and are even now looking upon it as weakening and ready to expire, have consulted their own prejudices and wUkes rather than the Bible. He that was, and -is not new, ie, ere long, " yu to be. "— and no longer afoot, but will bestride a beast blood red from the pit, and he will purga his kingdom with fire aad sword as he never be fore. The woman will, like the infuriated Jezebel, arouse herself to tenfold fury and drive the witnesses of Christ from her bor ders or fill the streets of her city with their murdered bodier.

As we look upon it, it would be the sheer-est folly for Southern Baptisu to expend scores of thousands to build a sUtely a td permanent church house in Rome, upon th« supposition now pervading the minds of our Foreign Board, that the beast will no more appear and reassert his autliority and assist the woman to shed blood. We say, let the gospel be preached in Rome, we care not how thoroughly, but let us preach it as Paul did, in onr own hired house.

We know not, nor do we find it revealed how long the woman is to operate afoot— without her beast; but all things in Germany, in -Austria and in England denote that she is preparing to remount Thi^ U what trou bles Victor Emanuel in Italy, Bismarck in Germany and Gladstone in England. It will through the inherent force that lies hid in the dogma of infallibUity that this or the next Pontiff will regain his

3. That the great msjofity of the hnm«n family die in early childhood, and that it has been the belief of the great mass of Cbristendom. that children dying in infancy are saved But how are they saved ? We have but one response: " Whosoever rec«iv eth not the kingdom of God as a little child, shall not enter therein." As the parent is saved, so is the child saved. The Savior shall answer: "Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." (John 3: 5.) But then observe, be says in another placo, " Whosoever receiveth not the kingdom of God as a little chili, shall in nowise enter therein." (Luke IS: 17 ) So that whosoever must receive the kingdom of God as a little child receives i t The process is the same. And as, therefore, whosoever must be born again, so must the little child.

Let Christian parenU, therefore, pray for the regeneration of their children, even be fore they be born, that the blossoms ot in-fantile piety may yield the fruiu of right ousneHS in the "years of maturity." s.

. power. The mass of the population of all these countries, as France, Spain and Portugal, are Catholics, and the Infallible Pope has decided and pro-' claimed it, that no one can be a true Catho-lic and hope for salvation unless he yield obedience to the Prince of the Charch, whose throne b in Rome, in preference to any civil prince or government When this doctrine shall have been generally under stiJod and acquiesced in, as it is here in America today, one word from the Pope will unseat every civil potentate in Europe that opposes him, and seat a Citholic king in his place. Thi. power is what Bismarck and Gladstone are antagonizing BEASr S H A l L COME.

n o c e n t s ! Comos is aware of the fact that Pedobap-

tisu have ever Uught (until recenUy, to which he will allude more particularly here after) infant baptismal regeneration, one of the sacred relics of the mother church to which they cling, but never before did h« know that they also taught that infante must actually be born again or be damned. This must evidently be a new feature in P e -dobaptist theology. Hear, O ye ignorant ones, "As the parent ia saved, so is the child saved." Now we all know how the parent, the adult, is saved, that ia, by personal faith in Christ (•' He that believes and is bap-tized shall be saved, he that believeth not shall be damned-) The gospel is addressed only to sane adults, not to infants and idiots—only to such as are capable of exer-cising faith. Such at least is Baptist faith, and such it is believed is the faith of all Christ endom. But it has been reserved for these new lighu to make the wondrous discovery and startling aanouncement, that the bibe in iu mother s arms is likewise capable of understanding the gospel and exercising fai'.h ! Will wonders never cease ? And yet the ta4<» is cot told. The t ^ d e r infant ia cot only suVject to damnation, unless it be-lieves and exercises faith, but listen, O ye deluded Bapusu, "Let Christian parents, therefore, pray for the regeneration of their children, even before they be born ' " And what if there should be no child born to these over much righteous parenu! What a waste of prayer and holy unction ! And suppose the infant when born should prove to be an idiot ? What then ? 'Will that idiotic babe have been prepared for the kingdom—regenerated through the prayers of lU very pious parent* ? What solemn mockery 7 What trifiing with sacred

things? And now, suppose that this child, either born or unborn, should (as do thou-sands of adults) refuse (what farcical non-sense) to repent and exercise faith ? What becomes of it ? It is lost-damned. And yet these branch churches talk blatantly about Baptisu sending iafanu to hell be cause they refuse to rantizs them •

Bap t i s t s gene raUy t each t h a t t h o s e d y i n g in i n f ancy a r e saved by t h e b l o o i of C h r i s t Su re ly t h e wor ld will n o t be imposed u p o n by such so ca l l ed t h e o l o g y ; a n d t h e b r a n c h e s wou ld d o well to m u z z l e t h e m o u t h s of all t he i r t e a c h e r s w h o p r o m u l -ga te such m i s e r a b l e heres ies !

THE

Query. Bao. GRAVES:—I have this fall made this

proposition to the Pedoeson the communion quMtion: "I f you really desire intercom mnaion. from a sincere love of the truth and with no- sacrifice of principle, let ns select three men, who shall be acknowledged to be represenUtive men; lei them take your Discipline, or Confession of Faith, or toth; bring either or both of them to trial by the New Testament, pnrge out whatever ts found to be unscriptural or antiscriptural and I will receive the balance ju- th« expo<<i ' trca _of my faith, if yoti will." Is a Bible Baptist safe in making such an offer 7

•Esniirr* We think -so, provided they add what is

found in the New Testament that the lleti)-odists have left out

AND SOW LOOK OS THIS PICTCRE. One R^v. W. S. Patterson, of St Lauis,

recent infant rantismal occasion, says: " Christian parenU were exhorted to regard their children as members of Christ's Spir-itual charch as soon as they were born, and to bring them up in such a way that they would never know themselves to be any-thing else but Christians. Da not teach them that by nature they are the children of the devil. By nature and grace they are God's chUdren. If when they grow old enough to make a choice for themselves, they leave the fold, it is mainly because they are driven out by the false doctrines which allow them no place in Christ's kingdoii, until tbey become bac' enough to be Cc sub-jects for a revival"

Well, when doctors difi-r, who i hall be the judge? Here one of the branches teaches

shall be done. We prizo the soldier and his s p i r i t - A n d a nice list from Batesburg, S. C., thanks to Bro. N. N. Barton —And cheering letter from Dr. J. A.

SOCTHER-V B A P T I S T P C B L I CATIO.V S O I I E T T —

Notwithstanding the severity of the weather and of the times, a goodly number of tJie stockholders, representative men, were present at the annual meeting Great har-mony prevailed, and great encouragement felt and expressed with the annual report,

summary of which will be given next week, as the paper is going to press. Eld. G. A . Lofton, pastor of the First Baptist Church, this city, was elected President; -i. Landrum. of the Central, with thirteen others, Vice-Presidents; W. D Mayfield BusinMs Manager and Treasurer. Full list of officers next week. P P O C J E S S and sccrass are established facta.

C E S T R A L AsiociATios —We have received a copy of the minutes, and they are finely executed, as all t i e work turned out of our infant Society is, and this d^partm«-nt should be liberally and extensively patron:zfd. Old Central's progress is onward ; she is now only second to the Big Hatchie, and at her pres-ent rate of increase, will soon be abreait and ere long pass her. She has forty oine churches on l e r roll, and the total member chip four thousand one hundred and eighty, nine. She received five new churches, 447 by baptism and 195 by letter; her net gain was 397 The total number in Big Hatchie IS .5.309, and her net gain the last year 123 The immigration into the bounds for years to come will greatly strengthen this body while emigration will weaken the Big Hatchie. It must rely for its -increase upon conversions and baptisms. We confess to a deep interest in the growing town of Alamo, the shire county town of Crockett county' It is deRtinf>d to be a considerable place, and the ground should be at once occupied by the Baptists of Central Association as one of their strongholds. The little church is weak —too weak to support a pastor—and should be helpe-; a few years by the Board.

We can but apprjciate the following, from Df Alvah Hovey, .-'resident of the Newton Theological Seminary, MaseachusetU Dr Hovey is o-e of the intellectual giants of our denomiiiaUon, and, a . ,ne Xl-atchman arui Refuctor, Boston, remarked last week, of sound and massive intellect, Knd the aoat indopendent thinker of the agt, and withal sound and reliable. With such an indorse-ment, may we not be excused for urging each minister, and reading, thinking mem-ber of our denomination, to send 75 cents for a copy to W, D. Ala,field. Business Manager of the Southern Baptist Pablicatiou Society, and get a copy for the library. If you buy no other book for one year, buy a copy ol this and study it.

ELD W . A . T C C S E R HAS settled at Sirdis, and Uken riiarge of the churches at that place and BatesTille. ThU i» a most inriting Meld, and we believe Bro. Tucker is a good man for i t He U a faithful minUter, and has been well received wherever be baa la-bored. At eur last account he had stKl one Sunday in the month unoccupied, ba t there is doubtless a demand for all hia tixae in that section.

l l iST hearts will be sad oa reading the obituary of Bro. fhoa. H. Smith, of Marshall cotmty, which ia in another column. At the time of meeting of our Siate Conven-tion at Oxford last June, Bro. Smith was prevented by aickness {( 'm attea<iiti£ Many who were there will remember tha t Bra R D. Miller requested special prayer ior him. We thinJc Bra Smith was one of ihe beat men we ever knew, and to this sentiment thousandii of brethren and sisters will say <i»««—for be was extensively known, and wherever known wiu much be loved. He delighted in attending our gen-eral meeting, but we shall see his face no more on eartn. Yec thousands who have partaken with him of precious seasons will meet him again; for he has doubtless gone to that happy association wnere " t h e p a r t -ing h a n d " will never be sung. Though only an Dumbie laymen, there are doubtless

'many m'.nisters who fall far behind him iu u s e f u l n ^ . His example will live on. His chorcb which be so much loved is greatly atSicted, having so recently lost another one of its beat members, Bro. L. Xorman, who preceded Bro,. Smith but about two months. They doubtlea? ecjoy a happy re-oiuon in tn - i a n i of rest.

W s learn i r o m the Lebanon (Twn. , ) Herald, that our personal friend H. Y. Kid-dle lacked bat two and two thirds votes of receiving the nomination as Bemecratic candidate for zsiember of Congress from tbe fourth district of 1 - nessee. We do not be-lieve any man in u.o district would have I filled tha pLice wiih greater honor to him | self or satisfaction to his constituents. • We ; have known him from his boyhood, and know that he was bom for high rank among his fellows, and for a useful Ufa He was raised in the community in which we ! live, and his aged father is still one of the most intelligent and useful members of our church. We regret tbat " E a y w s o d " (for so he ia familiarly calleU in hia old neigh-borhood) withdrew his name, for he stood a good chance for the nomination; and his practical sense, fine cultivation and elevated Christian character would have adorned our National ConnciL

THK . V I S I T of Eev. A. P . Graves to Holly Spriagi waa coth gratifying and profitable to the pflople of that thriving little city. Bro. Uiller informed us that up to the -3d of December, three had united with the Bap-tist Church.

EiJ>. A. G. PiaROTT has settled a : S:iuls-bury, T e n n , and having resigned the care of his churches away from the railroad, has, as yet, only a part of his t ime e n g a g ^ . He coald conveaiently supply any c ln rch on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, from Memphis to Corinth, and any church that would only demand a part of a pastor's time, would do well tn secure his services He is an able preacher and an eSs ien t pas-tor, sound in the faith and noted for his deep piety and earnest devotion to the Master's cause.

A G30D JOMSTIB wfites: I rejoice in the weekly visits of T H E BAPTIST, even though :U s;i3 is reduced. Half a loaf U better t ^ n none, especially when the haL" is EO rich and well condensed."

IT is with feelings of regret that we pub lUh the article of Bro. Mason which appears in this issue. We appreciate his kind feel :ngs for a noble people, ha t we hope Bro. Massey did not intend to do them iTjoatice. and that his want of care in writing will be overlooked by the good brethren at Grena da. And here we desire to drop a word of caution t3 brethren who travel extensivelv, and write-or speak about the brethren aiid churches they visit They should be ex ceedingly careful to da in regard to others as they would have others do hi regard to them. Several times since we have been editing, have conplainU been made of the manner in which brethren have spoken and I ^^ t^ tea in regard to brethren and churches i

Correction.

IX Th« BAiTISTof the lyih io'it { noiicean article from Bro R A Massey, which

does such injustice to the church HI Grena-da, ibst 1 fef l it my duty to tell what I know about the facu involved in the ca^e

I cannot belisve that Bro M mi-srepre-sented the church intf'niiooally. He wrote his artJC^ fo long afit-r he was in Grenada tha t I suppose he forgot the facts; if so, be should not have written at all.

1. He says, " I re<wfaed Grenada late in tha night and went to the hotel." He neglecu to say that I, as p u t o r of the church, Eset him a t the cars and carried him to the hotel, because it was my home. He neglects to say tbat I asst^red him time and again that I had made p^-rmanent arrange-ments for the entertainment of my friends at the hotel, the hos tea being a zsalous member cf our church. He forgets that af-ter all my etl'orU to make him fee) at home, he insisted on pacing liia board at tbe depot after he had lett me. I took Bro. M. to the hotel because I thought he preferred being with me as pastor of the church, es pecially ae my wife was absent a t the time. 1 am sorry Bro. M.'s article reflected upon the hospitality of the kindest and most liberal church the writer ever knew Though no longer their pastor, there is not a family in the church to which 1 would hesitate to go with any of my friends, or in which any Baptist n in i s te r would not re-ceive a hearty welcome^

2. Bro. M. says after his arrival " i h e brethren concluded it was too soon lo bold a meeting after the effort made by Bro. Nel-son two m onths before." I am very mnch surprised at this assertion. I tried to e x -plain to B r a M tbat I had jus t then, very unexpectedly lo the church, resigned as pastor, on account of ill h e J t h ; that the church was a little confused by this ; that I w t i packing up to leave, and on this ac-count I agreed with the church in t h i n k -ing that then was not a good time to hold a meeting. I was sorry to have caused t h e trouble to Bro. M. of coming to Grenada under the circumstance?, but arrangements were made some time previous, and as soon as I found ths mf-eting could not be held, i tried to inform Bro i l , but could noi f i id out where he wai:—I tried to find out but fa ikd A« Eoon as be came I explained to him the whole matter, and thought it was satisfactory.

3. Again Bro. M. Uys special emphasis on the small amount of his collection. I tried my bfst to prevent him from taking a col lection at ail, telling him that we took up a collection quarterly for home missions. Basides this, just at tha t time, an attorney s fee of $500 ia behalf of the Female College was hangiag over the church, and in addi tion to tnis, Bro. Nelson had ba t one month before collected over $70 from the church, and in addition to this, as 1 was prepnring to leave, the church was straightened to pay

l e t not man put asunder They say unto him, Why did Sfoees than cnmmand to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? He caith unto •.hem, Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginniog n was not so. And I say unto you. Whosoever put tetb away his wife, except -it ho for fomicatioa. and shall marry anotbek-, commiKftn adultery : and wboeo marrieth her that is put away com-mitteth adultery " Mark, in tbe 10(.hchap-ter, detailing the same conversition, gives this additional declaration, l^ih verse: ' A n d [ if a woman put away her husband, and be ' married toanoiher.shecommitteta adultery.' Our Savior has said, Matthew .>: IT, ' Think not that 1 have come to de.strwy the law or the prophets: 1 aoi not come to destroy, but lo tulBIl For verily I eay unto you, till heaven and earth p.iss, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise from the law ti'.l all be fulfilled ' Lufee. in recording the law against divorce and re marriage (16tb chap-ter) precedew it with these words of our Savior (ITib verse); " . \nd it ia easier for heaven and earth to pans than one tittle o ' the law to fail." ' The law and the prophets" compriped. in general terms, the leacaings of theO d Testament " The law " was another term tor the revelation of facts and of God's will made through Mosee. When Christ, therefore, tells the Pharisets tha t Moaea only " Buff.?red ' the Israelites, on account of their stubbornness and wickedness, to divorce their wives for inferior or trifling causes, but declares that the law of Sod from the beginning—a law founded in the very nature God had given to man—was different, the conclusion seems irresistible, thai from the day that Christ thus re aiserted the orginai law of marriage, there can be no ground for brlievicg or assuming tha t there is any authority whatever in the Old Testa-ment for any hamao being. Christian, Jew or heathen, to divorce bis wife, or her hus-band, and marry another, " except it be for fornication," or adultery.

Our fur ther inquiry, then, is restricted entire!J to the New Testament; and from the plain and positive words of Christ we have seen that the unchaste violation of the marriage contract is the only ground of divorce and re-marriage. But it has been argued that, though onr Savior restricted the individual husband or wife to this single cause, he tacitly left tbe subject open to State legislation without restriction, to allow of divorces and re-marriage to other parlies, for as many causes as the judgment or chprice o- lawmakers might dictate. I t would seesi that the language first above quoted from the 19.h of Matthew ought to br? a conclusire answer to fucb loose notions of the meaning of our Savior. He was re asserting and enforcing organic law, on foundation principles, and here, if ever, the m:ixim ought surely to apply, that the | expression of one thing is the exclusion of others not consistent with the thing expressed I! th s were not correct, it would take a large book indeed to contain tbe simple-it constitutional code. When, therefore, Jesus fa:-!, " W h a t God hath joined together, let not man put asunder, ' he meant that tbe putting asunder must not be done, either by the man—th© husband— or by man—" any other man," if you please, or " se t of men," whether calling themselves lawmakers or by any other name. This

from its being a civil contract provided by the Almighty for man 'as man, not as bfr longing to a religiou<i society The same dignitary is credited with saying tha t mar riage " h a d been raised to the dignity of a sacrament by the Savior of the world." That is mere bald assertion, without a word of .Scripture «o support it, Christ only de da red the univerral law of marriage lor human beings, a law which neither a Slate nor acnurch has any right to change. If the doctrine of Cithohciam is, that we can be neither saved in heaven nor repu tably married on earth without bf-ing sprinkled into the Roman Catholic Church, we ought to ha?e a full com^prehention cf its audaciouo assumptions Bat it seems that others besides Catholics are impre8se<l that marrisg"? was instituted peculiarly for the church, or for Oaristiamty. A promi-nent New Yo. k weekiy, replying lately to a d^tressed la-iy correspondent about her bus band, said, ' You took him, if you are a Christian woman, for bstter and for worse," etc We ask, if she was not a ' Christian " woman, did she not take him in the same way ? Il is time that CtiristiatLs should u n -derstand that marnage was given to man, not to a certain cUsi of the human race, called Caristians; and that Gods law of marnage anU divorce is a law lo the human race, and not specially to Cnrisiians. It is therefore just a^ great and disgracsful a sin for one who is not a professor of religion to divorce his wife for any cause except for adultery and marry another, as for a mem-ber of a church to do so; and he that thus acts, church member or not, is guilty of adultery, according to the word of God, no matter if a thousand State Legislatures make each a thousand laws to tbe contrary.

In my next numl<er 1 propose to con-sider the seventh chapter of Ist Cor in t i i ins in reference to divorce and re marriage.

W. A. MASOS. Crystal Springs, Dec. 2r>, 1S74,

The Lair of Divorce.—So. 4 .

I PROPOSE now to advert to the action of State governments on the subject of

divorce, and to consider briefly their right to authorize divorces on grounds additional to that which Christ has prescribed. The old canon law, followed by the common law, would not allow absolute divorce, even for adultery. Substquently, however, by act of Parliament, such <-'ivorces were frequently allowed. Separations " f rom bed and board," either permanent or temporary, f rom various causes, were not uncommon, but without the right of re marriage to either party. But in America legislation has been let loose on the s-abject of divorce. I do not propose to review the mult i tude of acts which different States have passed under this head, nor to examine into the comparative merits of the many grounds for divorce which the wisdom (or folly) of man has added to or substituted for the wisdom of God. My object is to inquire whether they had a right lo enact any such additional law for any cause except the one laid down by Jesus Christ in Matthew 10: 9. I sup-pose it will be conceded by all that if these State Legislatures had a right to pass any such additional laws, they must have found authority therefor somewhere ia the word of God. Lat us inquire from the words of Christ himself whether the Old Testament furnished any such authority.

I a Mattliew 10 ; 3-9 we have this s ta te-™ent: " T h e Pharisees also came,imto him t J«aB] . fe f f ip l fagSru3 .an j i«kyingui to him, Is it lawful, fOTja B^an,toVtltJaway his wife

verse it is t a H : ".A.nd the Pharis-ees came to him and asked him. Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife ? tempting him." Here the word for mac is iiner, a man or husband ; and tbe Pharisees probably desired to tempt Christ to condemn the practica of loo->e divorces, as Matthew has tbe question, " for every cause," so as to make him unpopular. Now look at the 9 th verse, where our Savior says, " What, therefore, God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." In this verse the word for man is not aner, bat antAropos—aot intended heie to denote an individual man, but maa ia genexaL The teaching then seems plainly to be that what God has established, human authority, whether of kings, courts, popes, councils or legislatures, h i s no right to abolish or med-dle Willi, now nor at aay future time. And as we have seea, Christ himself has givea to the world the only exception to this law of the God of nature, which is '• fornicatioc," or adultery.

I t has been said that this crime itself dis-solves the marriage, so tha t as soon as it is committed the couple are, by tha t very act, unmarr ied; but the Savior does not say BO. He teaches tha t a man may not divorc3 his wife except for cause of "fornica-tion." I t is a just cause, if th-a husband (or perhaps the wife) caoose to take advantage of i t Adultery is the crime, divorce is the penalty, in a certain sense-; and, as another has said. It is always important to distinguish between crime and penalty. Bat if ei ther party see proper, forgiveness may, on r e -pentance, be extended, and the couple may remain in wedlock. Tais is sometimes done by the husband; it sometimes done by the wife; but for the most part, doubtless, the poor woman, in ker weakness, is obliged by her dependent condition, or t ender regard for her children, or by the tyrannical decree of perverted "society," to suffer this cruelty and wickedness in sile&ce, with the sword of unfaithfulness piercing her very •ool, till her " gray hairs are brought down with sorrow to the grare."

Mash darkness has been thrown upon the law of Christ in regard to marriage, and -much mischief has been done-by the impious pretense of some religionists that Christ made marriage a sacra-ment of the churcii. Oa a r e -cent disUnguished occasion, a Soman Cath-olic .Archbishop is reported to ha re said t h a t marriage was "essentially a religious cere-mony, aod not V mere civil con t rac t ; " which is, first, u t te r nonsense, because a ceremoily ia itself a " mere " onttrard form.

Be-Baptism Once Xore.

YOU 3 call. Bra Lowrey, for a discussion of the question of re baptism seems to

te , thus far, but partially answered. One of your correspondents has courte-

ously referred to me in the matter. Like Bra Head, I have not time to enter fully into the discussion ; yet in deference to the ' request, I will veature a few suggestions for the purpose of stimulating thought upon the subject

I am troubled with difficulties in regard to the practice of ra-baptizing, which i have nol been able to remove, nor have I yet found any one who could give me relief. Perhaps a public expression of tbem will draw oui some one wbo will be able lo show ' the fallacy of my reasoning and the error of my conclusion!).

I have read Bro. Head's article with a t -tention, and aai sorry thf.t he is under tbe ' necessity of declining to write fur ther in ! exposition and defense of his views. .\s, however, what be has said is now public property, and as he has given influence tn ' hia position by fortifying it wi t i argument-, ' it will not be improper lo refer to his article j at least so far as to make il the basis of tbe statement of my difficulties I

To those who m»y be dispose<i to coincide with his views, I would suggest that there is ; the appea'ance of confliction in the s taU- | ment ot h-.s joj i t ioj i ; and abo that his ar ' guments appear to bear about as beaviiy against tbe re-baptism that he encourages as that which he opposes.

He says, "Baptism administered upon a credible profession of faith in Christ is valid, that is, is Scriptural, and ought not to be re peated. • In defense of this he argues that ' baptism is delivered (in the Scriptures) as having been administered upon a profession of faith, evea when it was afterward found tho profession was false." And yet he says, " We may find that the ceremony to which he (an applicant for r t -bapt ism) subaait-tt?d, though- authorized by a regular Baptist Church, was in fact unscriptural, and there-fore set it aside as invalid, and this on several different grounda"

" T h e faith professed, though credible, may not have been credible"

1 suggest that all who believe in the re- | baptism opposed in the first quotation, ad-mit that the faith professed may hare been credible, but they maintain that without conversion it could not have been true gos-pel faith. I fear, therefore, that they will claim that bis admission covers all they ask.

I suppose, however, that in the expres-sions, "credible profession of faith ia Chris t ' and " a profession of laith " a f te r -wi rd to be " false," he zneaat the exoeritnce of an individual in conversion; and in the expression, " the faith professsd, though credible, may not have been true gospel fa i th , ' he meant the doctrines of the gospel considered as t h e object of faith. But even with this view, may it not be said tha t tbedoc-trines of Christ as a Savior aad of t t e Spirit as a comforter, are EO difi^entintfaeooneeptiaD of a truly converted m a n from what taey were before h b conversion, that the faith of an unconverted man, considered with refer-ence to the doctrines believed, cannot be " true.gospel faith.'

I should hesitate to encounter his oppo-nents on his ground.

Again: Does not his argumemt from the difficulty of a church havujg two members, the one asking aad receiving re baptism, and the other declining it, apply aa forcibly to cises in which there is a deficiency in re -gard to the doctrines believed a t the time of baptism, as to cases in w i i i ^ there is a de -ficiency in regard to conversion at the time of baptism? In the case of a church that has by her re-baptism declared the baptism of an anccn verted person to be no baptism, he has Tery pertinently inquired what she would do with a person who is clear in the belief that he was not converted at the time of his baptism, but has become •o since, and who powUVely 'dtcUaes j e - : baptism.

But how caa c-jofidence repose in church action when that action bears in itself the evidence of a previous false action by the same church in reference to the same matter in the same person ?

In illas'ratioa we will suppose an officer of the jaw to come into court and testify to the legality ot certain proceedings under his own adminisiration, and obtain a decree thereon, and then suppose that he a f te r -ward come into the tame court and testify to tbe falsity of his previous testimony, or which IS the same thing, the illegality ol his former administration, and ask that the fu-ture decrees o! the court be issued on a later administration by himself, would not the court be greatly embarrassed 7 I t might, perhaps, be proper for the court to proceed on its own examination of thie facts in the case, but cot on the testimoay of the per-jured officer

<->r suppose we should any of us purchase a costly piece of property, with its title guaranteed by a decree of the court, issued in due proceedings of law, and suppose that we afterward fiid »n a subsequent decree, issued in like d u e proceedings of law, a declaration tbat the first decree was null and void ; would we not feelingly conclude tha t there was very poor ground of confi-dence, either in the law it£elf or in the administration of that law ?

In the case of baptism the decision as to validity, and everything involved in that decision, mui l be based upon the authorizi-tion and administration of the church, and hence, in reason, we see nol how the c tu rch that administered the first baptism c in l e competent to ailest by her author:! it;on and administration the validity of the re baptism.

When .the church that administered the first bapiiam re baptizss, she, in that veiy act, renoances the validity of her first baptiam; and therein Bha declares that her own authorisation and adminiatration are CO guarantee validity. Sae necessarily lays the ax a t the root of all confidence in her authoriiation and administration ^ a source of validity in baptisia in any case.

To me this appears lo be the logical con-sequence of re baptism as proceeding t t the hands of the c t o i c h tha t administered the fifst baptism. - ' " ^

I n a practical point of view, we will sup-(Xjse tha i a church, after bar ing scrfemnly decided t h e qoestiona of genuineness of conversion, tha correctness of the faith profeesed, and the credibility of the profes-sion in several instances, and in each one instructed her m i n a t e r to avouch the aathoritatiTC c o r r e c t o « \ of he r decison, in Ihe namftof t h e F a U t o ^ a n d i o r t h e Son. a n d of the i s ^ j i ^ a y ^ ^ o n e i a t h e

S r i n p t o m s o f a D i s e a s e d L i v e r . PAIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pressure ;

sometimes the pain is in the Ic. t side ; the patient is rarely able to lie on the k f t siile ; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder-blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is some-times miitaten for a rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affccted with loss of appetite and sickncss; the bowels in general arc costivs, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accaaipanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is gc. rerally a considerable loss of memory, accompanied with a painful sensation of having leftundote something which ought to have been done. A slight, dry congh is sometimes an atccndapt. The patient complains of weariness and debility ; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burn-ing, and he complains of a prickly sensa-tion of the skin ; his spirits are low ; and ahhoogh he is satisfied that exercise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely suminon up fortitude enough to try it. In iact, he distrusts every remedy. Se-veral of the above symptoms attetid the disease, but cases have occurred wTiere few of them existed, yet examitution <»f

' the body, after death, has shown the l i -ver to have been extensively deranged.
