I . The qumlloB of oiir text is atked to direct at tenlion to tlilt glorious pertnn. "Who Is this that ea(rtg«d hi« h«art to approarh unto me ? saith tho Lord." We read the cbapt«r, unci if you have read it attenUtiveiy, or will do to, you will learn that the person who must draw near lo <3od must be oaeof a u r t e l m . "Their noblet," or tiieir glorious one.'<tball beof themaelmt, Bod (heir g^orernor shall proceed flrom thA mid<it*of t h e m ; and r -will cause him to draw near, and he shall approacli unlo me." It is clear that a fit rei)re«oiilativo for men most himself be a man. It would not have been seealy tbat Adam, the rcpretcntativc of our racv, shruid bave boon an angel; it was naluril that be should he a man. In the Mtnic way. as man blocked up the road of communion with God, it was flttldg that Riau should make a new road, and re-establish divine inu«rr!ourM>. In Adam ho transgretsaed and died «o God; in another Adam must we be restored. If ao an{(ol wero capable in ail other respects of drawing near to Gad, yet ir is clear he could not do it in manV tiehalf; for an an-gel can only represent anKoIs. Kaoh order of be-ings must be ropresonted by i u ovtn kind. Our Lord, as man, took not up angels, for ho WSH HOI made in their nature; but he (onk up thn seed of Abraham because he ha4 assumed their nature. I t needed a man perfect in his mautiood lo head ui up, and t ' and as our federal head and representa'. live, or otborwiso we could not be re8t<trDd l y him.

Nor is it merit alone ti at is noeded, for he that would approach onto the Lord as mediator muM be p r e p a r ^ with strong'h lo sulTer. Who ' x n •uttain tbe load of human sin ? Who cAn endure the indignation of the I/ord againit iniquity ? As-suredly none of us could do i t ; the flro would o n -tume him aaitubble. Oh for an <atorpo«or; bu t where can he be found ? Who is this who oan as man appear for ncn , and by hie personal right-Bousnesa and sacrifice render man acceptablo with God? T h e r o w a s a m a n of matchless biKh, at whose coming angels aang, for they were told Ih < he would br iag glory ti) God in the bighosl. and on earth peace. Find him in Sethlehem's luangor; there he lle«, the ton of Mary, truly man, one of onrselTot^ ptcrtakar of onr flesh and blood, subject to hnman wants, weaknettet, and woes, and able therefore to aympathiae with a t , and ha r e oomp < •-d o n apoB a t .

I I I . Let mo try, and may the Spirit of God help

Jesus Christ's having approached to God for us.

One great result of Christ 's havluK died is to

leave us a way of access, which is freely opened to

every poor, penitent sinner. Come. Are you

using that way of access ? D o you use it every

day? Hav ing used it, and thus hav ing drawn

near to God, do you dwel l near to God ? D o you

abide in God ? Is God the ma in thought of your life,

the chief delight and thought of your being ? I f it

is not 80,1 earnegtiy invi lo you by the Spirit 's

help to make it ao. Y o u muat engage your heart

to come to God in Christ . There is no coming to

God wi thout aincero reaolvo and eager desire. Are

you engaged to such an end ? Aiaa I U may be you

are d rawn el(flwhere. Are you engaged? A laa l

some are engaged t« M a d a m e Bubb le ; aome are

engaged to Bel ia l ; some are engaged to aeif; aome

these un l awfu l engagements. Let your covenant

w i th daath be broken, ana your league wi th hell

words, yet would I stir you u p to interest in thia

aii-important matter. Break these deadly bands

which bo shall give you, to snap your fetters ouoo

to Ch r i s t Never such lovelinosa, never auoh love

wi l l you And elaewhere. Come, aay now—what-

ever else I do or do not do, I wi l l do th is : I wi l l

approach to God by the way that Christ has opened

" I f we say that wo hnvo no bIii we docfivo ourselves rikI tliH truth is not in us."—1 .Jolm i. 8.

' r i l E Bible novor sjieaks of "a chajigo of heart,"

* but it does toil us of "a now heart," "a new

croation," "a now name," "a now song."

I t never says God wil l change "tho stony heart"

into " a heart of flesh." But (}od hitnHcIf says, " I

wil l put a now spirit within vou, and I will take

tho stony heart out of their tlush and will give

them a heart of tiosli."

I f any man thinks his old carnsl natiiro issancti-

ilcd or dead, let him read tlio sovonth o'laptur of

Romans, and remember that this was rani 's ex-

perience after bis conversion, when ho "delighted

in tho law of God after tho inward man . "

See how "tho old m a n " and "tho new man " con-

tend for tho mastery in Paul's oxporience: "For

we know (tho now man ; that tho law is spiriitial,

bu t I (tha old man) am carnal, sold under sin. For

that which I do (tho old man), I allow not, (tho

now man) for wha t I would (the now man) that do

1 not, (tho old man) bn t what I bate (tho new man)

that do I (the old man) . I f thon, I do (tho old

man) that which I would not (tho now man), I

consent (the new man) unto tho law that I t is good.

N o w then, i t is no more I (the new man'i that do

it, but sin that dwelloth in me (tho old man). For

I know that in me, that is, in my llesh (tho old

man) dwelloth no good th ing ; for to will is pres-

ent with me, (the now man) but how to porform

that which is good I (the new man ) find n o t For

the good that I would , (tho now man) I do not

(tho old mau ) ; but tho evil which I would not, (the

now man) lhat do I (tho old man) . N M ^ i f I (tho

old man ) do that I would not (tho novi l^ i lh) , i t la

no more I (tho new man) that do it, but ain that

dwelloth in me (tho old man) . I find thon a law

that whou I (the new man) would do goed, evil ia

present w i th ma (the old mau). For I delight in

the law of God after tho inward man (the now

man); bu t I see another law in my members, (the

old man ) warr ing against tho law o f my la ind (the

now naau), and br ing ing me into captivity to tho

l aw of sin, which Is In my members* (the old

man)>''

^Pau l ' s old oamal nature was evidently not sauo'

t l i led In tb« seventh chapter of Komana. So great

WM$ the' eoafllot between " t h o old man " and " tho

new man , " that Paul cried out, " O wretuhed man

that I am, whi> aliali de l ivw m0, from the bo<Iy of

thia death I " "Chriat iau porfoctlonUits" tell us to

read tite last verse of lhat fiimqoa warl i jM chapter

and wo wil l ace how Paul waM <ieliv<ired,^from the

body of deaths and paaaed out of the seveth ohap-

to ro f Itomana into thooiglit i i , out of a justlfled

into a aanctified state.

Tho trouble is, these "porfoct Christ ians" never

quote only half of tho last vorao of the aoventh

chapter ot Itomans, vl/.: " I tbank God through

Jesus Christ oui-Ivord." They infer from those

words that Paul's conflicts aru aH over as he givea

this shout of victory, "through Jesus Christ his

I.iord " But In tho latter part of this vorse Paul

says: "Bo thon wi th tho mind I inyaolf (the new

man) servo tho law o f Gwl, but with the floab (tho

old mau) the law of sin." I t appears that "tho

old m a n " and "tho now m a n " aro atiii l ighting

each other to tho end. of tlio chapter I "The old

m a n " in Paul was never Justilicd, much loss aanc-

titled, i 'aul says; " I (the now man) keep my body

(tho old man) under. Sin, (tho old mau) shall not

have dominion over me (tho now man). Sin (the

old man) shall not roign in mo (tho now man) . "

Not tho doiith ot "tho old man " yet, but victory;

not «a -ctifled yet, the old man, but crucll iod; not

Justified, but condemned. "The old man " in Paul

not only strove against "the h o w luan," but iu hia

Galatian letter, Paul says: "The flesh (tho old

man) lustoth agalLst the Spirit, and tho Spirit

against the tlosh, and these aro contrary, the one

to the other, so that yo (the now man) cannot do

tho things thai ye (tho now man) wou ld . " Paul's

old nature novor was sanoiiilod. J u s t before he

was led out to execution, under the roign of bloody

Nero, wo hoar h im saying to Timothy, " I have

fought a good flght." I t scents that tho light went

on to the very hour of his death.

Paul waa always humble, saying, " i n me, that is

in my flesh, dwelloth no good th ing." I l i a fleahly

nature was never aanctifled. I t ia a aignifioant

(act In tho Old Testament, that God said of the

holy oil, "Upon man's flesh It shall not be poured."

Wo may not an.ioint it, nor consecrate it, nor

sanctify it. "The old man" was crucified with

Chr ist , but as Christ's flesh did not die till thoaohl

loft tho body, so our fleshly nature wil l not die till

tho body dios also.

Ou r depraved nature was Judged, condemned

and crucified will i Chr is t ; it is only a question of

t imo when it wil l die. B m It never wil l bo aanc-

tifled any more than sin will bo sanctified, for the

carnal nature is ao tually called "sin that dwelloth

In us." Hut some of you aro saying, " I s this all ?"

"HomctiinoH I catch Hweol glimpsss of his face, Uut that 1r all.

»k/\Ull pastors are soalous and etiicieut. We

V-' need no traveling evangelists to supplem-jnt

their work." This, or something very much like

it, was an expression which we some time ago saw

iu a popular religious paper. I n giving utterance

to this ^thought, the writer doubtless voicvd the

sentiment of many. There i», especially among

Baptists, a pretty general prejudice against travel-

ing evangelists—an indisposition to invito them

or to give them a welcome if ttiey come univiled

We aro inclined to think, too, that tliin pr.'jtr-

dloo is on the incroa«e. Tboro h , i t i ieod ,

much to be said on this side of tho quection. A

man who knows a people and who is known by

them, ought to have more Influence with them

than a stranger. When he has spent weekn, months

and years in their midst studying their several

tempcranionts and conditions, he ought to know

more of their spiritual needs than one who cotnea

among them, preaches a course of sermona. and

leaves to repeat them to another congregation.

Thia is what ought to be. But one of the charat-

teristlca of our frail human nature is a love of nov-

elty, and this is with many so strong that thsy

will hang with eager iHterest upon the platitudes

of a stranger, when tho most startling truMis from

tho lips of their pastor will pass unheedcHl It is

to pander to this feeling ttial the practice of calling

in evangelists has been adopted. Bomrtimcs the

results aro altogether good; for this oflicc is one

required in the gos|M)l plan, and a man is now and

thon fonn l who is all that tho jwsition dema»(ls

But quite often tho results, which, at the first

aoomlng, were so favorable, prove in tho end vi-ry

much tho op{)osito. This is apt to be the case if

the pastor abdicates for tho timo his functions and

giveti up tho moctiug to ihe direction of tbo visitor.

Now methods of procedure will be introduced,

which will not bo found to harmonize with oM

precedents. Profiosals may be mado not in accord

with tho pastor's views, and persons encouraged

to ofTor themselves for church membership with

whom neither ho nor tho brethren generally are

well satisfied.

I t not unfrequently occurs that after tho visit of

one of such ovangoiists, aud of a great awakening

under bis preaching, that the church is troubled

for months aud years by unpleasant cas s of dis-

cipline. When one coanta it all up coolly, after a

time, he may well doubt wiiother or not the visit

was an advantage. But as tho Now Testament

plan of diaaominating tho gosjwi prosuppoaoa ovan-

goiists as much aa it doea pastors and toachora, wo

muat conclude that these evila arise from{fhe abuso

ol a thing designed for good. A church should

not go beaido itself, bo tho preaching of the visitor

never ao eloquent. Tho older members, in partic-

ular, ahould not be ao warmed up aa to forgot ail

procautloua. Above |all, tbo pastor ahould not re-

tire himaelf ; he ahould attend every aervloo, and

permit no meaauro of which ho doea not rove. I t

ia the preaumptiou that whi le the ovangeliat may

know how to preach, ho does not know how to

govern. I t Is this deficiency iu hia make-up that

dote rraines his ofllce. W p do not know that hia

ofiiqionoy as auevangelist is J u s t i n proportion to

his lack 'fit administrative capacity. Bu t it ia al-

together probable that i f he be left to control a

meeting bis own way , he wi l l get matters in an

awkward state. ,This must«not be. The pastor

muat bold the auprome direction. The more dis-

creet members should bo prompt to forbid any

WM, KURTON, U..D , IMOkAKO. NO. I.

IN Y E A R 9 gono b>' there w u » hajw t!'»l, with tooreMing light,'truth would advance «li along

the oottdoet of error; hi itorialo (hit hope has had, in loine RAMI, to yield to the conviction thai erroi* i i making Inroad* up>u truth. lu the nhuroh of England the dIatinguUliing errom of Itomo are making great progreia; and among the Indo-IMsndenta, whoso potitioii leeniod moat farorable to a nearer approach to Ood'a will, »o far as tlioir creed or praolice waa deemed defective, there in, instead of thia, a manifest declen«lon both in doc-trine and practice.

The Gommitlee of the Congregational Union of England and Walcn, a body which, like ottierH uu-coatrolied by Scripturd, teem* to me llkoly t o d o more Kiifriii than good, lately requested Dr. K. W. Dale of Birmingham to writn a manual sf Oongre gatiocal principles. The size is dve and a half by three and a half inches, the pages are two hun dred and forty-seven. "For its contents the writer is alone responsible." Against a part of these con tenta some Independenl ministers have protestmi, and Paxton Hood of London is preaching sennons to set forth its errors. The oommitlee of the Union must have known most of Dr. Dale's sentiments when they asked him to write, so that the book musr be regarded aa sotting forth the opinions of an Inflacntial part of the ludei^ndent body. The errors to which I propose to refer relate to creeds to the atonement, to our state by birth, to bapiUm and to the f/ird's supper.

I. As to creeds. Dr. Dale says, ."Congregationalism disallows

creeds as conditions of church membership," and does "not make the rejection of any theological de finitioDB contained in a creed the ground for re moving a member from communion. He contend* tha t a church cannot require asseiit to what is its belief. God requires assent to without losing "its freedom and independence," and destroying "ihe iinmediat* coutrol of the living Christ." (x. 186, 187). He also denies that a church can protect it-self from heresy by enforcing a theological test as the condition of communion.

A correct creed is a sumn'ary of what Christ ex-pressiy teaches and commands in hU book. If a person "receives not his words," those words will condemn him "In the last day " (John xii. 48 ) All will betondemned who ''believe not the truth " Sal vaUon is "through belief of the truth," in addition to truth in Christ (2 Thess, ii, 13). Christ will also "take vengeance on those who obey nol the gos pel," (2 Thess. i. 8), but none can be expected to obey that which they are not required to believe. The church of Gofl Is to "the pillar and basis of the truth" as set forth before the world; but this it cannot be unless it requires "belief in the truth" of Christ and "obedience to hia will. I t la essential therefore to the purpose for which oharcbes exist that they shall have a creed; that they should agree together as to what Christ requires man to believe because he says it, and to do because he commands It. The exelnsion from fellowship of those who "receive not ChrUt's words" or do nut Christ's #111, la beyond a question a sure way for a churoh to "protect itself from their heresy," and it is the way wtileh God haa expressly commanded. Hymeneua was excluded for saying that the resur-rection waa past (1 Tlmoth> I. 20; 2 Timothy i». 18); and Paul commanded, in the name of Christ, thoie "who conaent not to the words of oar Lord Jesus Christ" should be withdrawn from. (1 l l m o t h y Tl. 3 , 6 ; 2 Timothy 111. 6 U . )

It Is absurd to say that a church loses her liberty by placing on record what it believes.^ I f any one dilTers from l u creed, he Is left perftotly free to act according to his own creed elsewhere. Ood's truth must never be changvd to stil(inMi's"(hM thought."

BRO. g r a v e s : - I f you will give space in you vainablo paper I will give a short synopsis of

my years' labor, which the Lord basso wonderfully blessed. I have served two churchos. IIopowolI on tho east side of the Tennessee rivor, and Rock Springs on the west, both ii? Hardin county, giv-ing Hopewell half of ray time, tha lirst and third Sundays In each month. I have lost but three ap. polnments with t h e n churchos this year.

I commenced a Ferios of meetings with Hope-well church the flrst Sabbath in August, which lasted nine days and nights. Tho writer did all the preaching. Tho result was twenty-two con-versions, twonty-two accessions by experience, only sixteen baptized up to date. The congregations wore Immense, ranging from throe to eight hun-. dred. Nood order prevailed, whilo there appeard,to be a solemn impression pervading the entire audience. There were a host of subjects for prayer from time to time. Th's churoh is poor in worldly goods, but she is rich in good works. We take up monthly eoileetlons for missions, and pay the pas-tor one hundred dollars. We have a good Bab-bkth-sahool, and prayer-meeting. There has been a revival spirit in this ehuroh for fottr months. It now Bumbers elghty-thrse. Tho Indian Creek As-•oeiation moots with this ehureh next year. She lias oAlled th« wrltisr to serve half of h U timo again W x t y«ari which Is the eighth year that I have Mtvod thtm.

TtKNKSMKK BArnsT beaded, "Sabbath Sick-ness," and a prescription wantod. Now, tlion, I am not one of the distinguishod doctors of tho new or old school, nor will I attompt to glvo an infal-lible prescription, but inoroly » fow thoughts. It Is an old adage in our church discipline, "il wo turn a sheep out of tho fold that ho will r o tn rn" as he cannot bo satisfied only with tho fold. In othor words, a sheop is not i-atistlcd only as ho coiii-panies wi th other shcop.

Ill regenerat ion wo beiM^nio sheep, and whon wo Join a c ln rch wo belong to tho visible fold of God.

In rogonoration we aro roprusonted as buliig "born again," "born of tho Spirit ," "chanKed fnun nature to grace," "croaled in Christ Josus unto good works," "old things have passed away, bo-bold, all things arc become now." .lobn says, " H e that is born of (jod cannot sin " In iho lirtb chapter, ninotoonth vorso, of Paul 's letter to tbo Gaiatians, wo find iho fruits of the lU-sh and the f ru i t s of tho Spirit onurnerated. Oiir Savior snid by their f rui ts shall yo know them. Tho disciples of Christ were railed "tho liKbl of the world," " the salt of tho earth," etc. Now, ibeii the <|iio>i tlon to my mind is, will Iho iruo iliscipio of CliriKt thus loath the service of tho Sabbath, for when wo are ijorn of tho Spirit, we produce f ru i t s of tho Spirit , and whore these evidenres are not ceen in t h e individual, is it not evidcnco that he is yot In nature 's darkness, and knows nothing of the ways of l i fe? "If )0u love me keep my rommaiidments." Then, olwdicnce is based upon lovo, which is h principle implanted in the heart of man in regen e ra t ion . Then every Christian has thai principle which leads him to obcdicnce. Then in;' nroscrlp tlon wonld bo (o exclude nieinbers who disrexard th« divino injunction to keep the Salibath day, or who habitually lail to attend upon the worship of the house of God on that day. If sheep t ey will re turn.

In tho languagoof another , "A religion that will not govern and contru! a man in this life, will not save him in that life lo come. A roligioii that will not distinguisli a man from a gainsaying world,will not save from a perishing world."

I give you thcso thoughts : if for the bost,publiHli tbem, if not, give them to tho waste baskot.

Why do you not give your readers a full account of yonr condition every wcok, Bro. Graves? Some of ns at least, aro interested as to your condition. I, for one, cannot see that any other man in tho denominat ion would bo so greatly missed at this t ime . 1 think that church communion is rapidly taking hold ot tho minds of thinking people. A •e ry intelligont Podobaptist remarked lo mo nol long since, that ho had no more to say on the com-munion question it we would restrict It to a local organization. Said ho, "Ihore is consistency iu that , when you do not extend your privilogos bo-yond your discipline." May tho Lord spare your life many days yot, is my prayer.

A Methodist proachcd throe hour* on the subject of b ip t i sm, and said immersion was not in the Bible, tha t sprinkle or pour is tho true bapt ism. At «the close «f his muddle, ho opennd the door of three dlfTomut sects, Methodist, Associate Presbyterlanr, and Freewill BaptlNts. T w o . young men Joined tho Freewills, and the Methodist preaohor Im-mersed them for the Freewill scct. Ho must be like the Negroo's pig, •'sometlmos pig and some-times pnp." We havo a Baptist minister who nays tha t tho suppor is a chnrch ordinance, Ihongh he invites all of the same faith that are in gooti stand-ing. A few wcoks ago ho gave tho Invitation to others present, and said some might refuse liecause there woro some in tho church lha t thoy could not fellowship.

leaven of bread, but «if the doctrluo of tine Tharl-

they cannot represeni the entire "mass of h u '

8. .M) eif/Mh and last argnmeiit is biaod on the fact

fh It the gospel d o c not twrA- like feaeen. This is

thought to be the strong point in the inte protation

whicli we aiitagonlM. They say the point of

iinalo){y is not in the rhuntcltr of the leaveo, but

in i»s siiuni, gra.lual and a.xelerate,! operation. Bu i

this is not true to fact. I'lie go^twl ne^er had any

sui li gradual and accelerated movement.''- It has

advanced in one ago arid retrograded in another.

Il has iMjcomo totally extinct in one nation, and ban

«n<).:eeded in another. On (heother tuuMt'lhe pure

doKtrines of Christ in part have been, inure and

more corrupt from tho beginning. Likeatreuiuisof

wafer, (he further thoy flow from their aonroe, the

moro impure thoy become.

The time will come when the earth will not have

a real Christian ie(t in It, nor a pure doctrine

taught from any of its so-called wise men. The

whole fabric of professed Christianity wil l be

leavened ami oorriiptetl with false teaching. But

blessed he God his true people will be saved on i of

this tribulation that Is to come on the earth!

When men loll us that the gogpel work* l ike

& E ttNNESSEr i j i B & T .

A acientiat waa once reminded that Ida theory

did not comupoDd with the facts. "Then , " said

he, " t o much the worse for fho facta."

W e believe our Interpretation to be In harmony

with all the facta of Iho parable ol the leaven and

with all other parables and the whole word of

God.

The only objection to our Inferprotation of the

parablea o f the leaven comes to us f .om an old mln-

Uter in Arkansas, who in susu ln iug the current

but erroneous idea that the leaven which was

hidden In the meal symbolizes the gospel or our

salvation urge* the literal language of the parahle

of Chr is t ' ' rhe kingdom of heaven it like leaven,"

etc. Tho kingdom of heaven Is a vigible earthly

organization, and he cannot for the life of him And

anything in this organixttion that is like leavon. '

To this good brother's tueory, held by b im in com-

mon with the majority of readers, wo submit the

very just remarks of a brother edi(or on the para-

bleof tbe"drag net" in answer to one who asks (lim,

if the net does not represent tho visible church of

Christ, because Christ said, "the kingdom of

heaven is like a net "Those who take that posi-

tion ought to notice tha t while, in the pre^ent in-

•tanee,the kingdom o( heaven is compared lo a net,

in the |>»rable of the tare.* it is compared to 'a

man' who sowed 8ce<i; aii<l th>' (rue idea it thut in

neither cate it the thiuy mentione<l Jint nx im ele-

ment in the compnritfrn the rent fMn/i lo be con-

templated in il. In the one cast, Ihe im/>or(iint

thing is not the man towimj the $eed. hut the jield

in which it is town, find the treatment meted ou t to

the tares at harves/ time. Au I i.i the oiher case,

the im{>orianl thing is not the net, tmi the disrrim-

ination <rhich >ctil Jinaily he mwle.

So in this i»arabie lite kingdom of heaven is not

the important id a designed to he compared, hut

the corrupting power of leaven in an ephah of

meal Is compared to the corrupting power of error,

or false doctrine, when infused imo the saving doc-

trine of Christ, tho gospel of tnan's salvation, and

prophetically tcaches us Ihat a power inimical to

Christ would corrupt the pure gospel of Christ by

stealthily inlroduring tout de*lroi/inij error into it,

until the whole was leavened.

ANSWEB — I^jglc is the grannnar of reason,

— the science of rx)mmon tense. logical ly, as

reasonably, no one is bound to affirm a negative

proposition. This is a universally conceded fact

by all icholars, since It Is al *ays difBcull, aad not

always to prove a negative. The burden

of proof then always logically rests with the one

ma i n u i n l n g a propositicn which is in opposition

to and contrary to what is universally admitted to

be true, —about which there is no dispute. To

attempt to prove what is uHicertally admitted lo

he true is virtually to prove a »elt-evident truth, —

an axiom.

W e cau lllUBtrate this rule to the perfect compre-

taeDtlon of every common as well as uncommon

reader.

I t fa so nniversally admitted to bo no less nor

more than an axiom —

Tbat all men are rational and theretoro account-

able beings.

Now should any one affirm that some beasts are

rational and therefore accountable it would logi-

cally and reasonably devolve upon bim to acccpt tho

affirmative, and ph>vc his proposition, and not

npon the man who affirmed that such a propesition

i*as false and absurd. Should ho refuse to take

tbe affirmative, and to attempt to prove his asser-

tion, ho would, by hU very act, confess his in-

ability to prove It.

I t ia nniversally admitted by all lexIcographeiD

and acholars of any note tha t Immersion was tho

practice o f tho apottolla and primit ive churches,

and all Chrislian denomination*, by their praotloe,

freely admit that a person properly ImmerstHl in

the name of the Trinity l« a Soripturally bap-

tized person.

Al l can see it would bo useless lor any one to

take time to prove this.

Now should a debater affirm that to sprinkle

water upon a person was also a primit ive practice,

and equally valid baptism, it would lottically and

reasonably devolve upon hitn to take the afllrma-

tive, and maintain It, and not for tbe man who de-

nies that It was primitive. Should tho debater re-

fuse to alllrm his pro(>08l(lon ho would thereby

tacitly surrender it.

I t is nniversally admitted that bellevers in Christ,

regenera(o jwrsons, are pro|)er subjects of Christian

baplism and cliurch-inemburshlp: lor all denomi-

nations will receive such for baptism and church-

membership.

I f a dohater should afllrm (hat non-believers, or

unbelievers, profensedh unregcnerate parsons, as

Infants, are also proper subjects of baptism, it

would logically and reasonably dcvolvo tipoii hlin

to prove his allirmation, and not upon one who

denies Ihat infant baptism Is Scriptural, or who

declares il nnscriptural and inconsistent.

Bo touching tlie communion i|iiestion. All pro-

fessed ChtiHiians admit that a I the niornbers of a

local church in gospel order have a Scriptural

right to the supper spread in tiiat cliureh.

Now if any one asserts that menihers of other

churches have also a Scriptural right to oat with

that church it logically and reasonably duvolves

u|ion the one so aflirniiiig to prove it, and not upon

one who denies thut such an act is nnscrlptural and

inconsistent, which is a nei/ntive pro|>osilion. And

should be refuse to take the atllrmailve, and at-

tempt lo prove it, he, by such a refusal, surrenders,

and tacitly confesses that he Is unable to make his

position good.

I f it is universally admitted that tho Lord's sup-

per is a rhtnch ordinance, as it Is, thou it Is evi-

dent that whoever detdares It lo bo a denomi-

national ordinanno is in duty bound to take the

atBrmative, and prove his assertion, and, failing to

do il, ho virtually surreuders his posilloii.

I t M. W. I ' l l I L L l l ' S , who has been best known

(or years past to our readers as tho loading

iigricultural writer of the Southwest, is spending

a few day« in onr city, with his laily, as the honored

guests of It. G. Craig

Dr. P., before tho war was a large planter, was

over foremost in foxterliig all our denominafional

enterprises with a liberal hand. Ho sacrificed his

lands to save his slaves, so that when (ho war

closed he was without either; but bo bravely took

up his pen in behalf of the agricultural interests of

the New South, unti l disabled by rheumatism. He

is now one year over fourscore years, and, except-

ing the dread efTect- of that droad disease, would

be a hale and active man, still rull of life and bon-

homie.

Dr. P. was au advanr.ed th inker; and the South

is only fairly beginning lo appreciate and adopt

the views he advocated not only liofore but tho

more urgently immediately after the war, L e., to

farm rattier than to plant, — to raise its own bread-

stuffs and meat and slock,— lo sow down Its worn

fields in grass. It G. Craig & Co., Iho leading

Feedsmen of this city, and Indeed of tho Southwest,

nan testify to the rajild growth of these views. But

a few years ago one dray load of grass suods of all

sorts supplied all their di tnands, while now wo

suppose twenty car loads will hardly do It.

Al l honor to this grand old man, who has so well served two generations, and ever boon true to his denomlnaiion and tho best luterests of his loved South I

I t was a pleasing sight to see h im worshiping with his old church last Sabbath ; and he was tenderly alluded lo by tho pastor In tbe morning prayer.

Those are chartereil months to canvass for ^TKR UAI'TIBT. A united effort will sectlre the five thousand. Let ea<;h rriend work with a will.

The eight conclusive reasons why the term leavon, in the parable or the woman and tho meal, means what it everywhere eino means in the Old and New Testaments, are by our associate, Dr . Fiost or California. We trust no Baptist minister or teacher will ever again assert so absurd a propo-sitlon as that Ihe gnpe l Is leavon, and by it tho whole world of sinful hu in in l ty Is to bo chrlstlau-ized.

The faculties at Jackson and Carson College will unite in Ihe statement that three young ministers in all respocls more promising, and more worthy ef assistance, never attended those collegos. They are in ttie midst of their Hludies, Thoy cannot re-turn without the assistance or friends. Tbe question now is, shall we say to them return and you shall have i t ? Personally it wil l be too mueh for us, unl i i we are again able to take the field to preach or lectuie. I f wo shall rccelve. In answer to this appeal, between now and September the first, enough to pay one month's boaM for each, thirty-seven dollars and fifty eents, trusting in God and our brethren, wo will say to them, "Come back and finish your course." Let every ft lend o f ministerial education who reads this decide i f ha or she wil l help this cause this year, 1 8 8 ^ , and inform us how much, and forward a part o l it be* fore the first of September nex t Bro. Fuller, wo are satisfied, will start the new year with his old iiroposltiun; I. e., to be one of twenty t«» pay the l>oard and washing of one young minister,—thir-teen dollars and fifty cents, six dollars anil seventy* cents each. We believe one brother In California will engage to support one. And wo believe the young ladles' missionary societies lu Tennessee wi l l engage to support another, aud that the socle-ties in Dyersbtirg and Ripley will head the list. And we are morally certain that the general con-tributions will support another. I I we are right In this wo can s upwr t four lustcad of three rorthe coming year, 188&-6. Shall we not do I t ? I t may bo a bard year, but listen to tho promise: "Trust lu the Lord, and do gooJ, and verily thou Shalt be fed." Who will trust in tbe Lord, and lead off in this grand work ? ,.

I f we can only be Instrumental thda' year lu raising the means to si^pport four.youug ministers at JacKsou and Carson we shall feel t h f t we are not l iv ing In va i n ; and tbe brother or sister who gives ten or five or one dollar will not live wholly In vain. » i

Let us hoar from every friend of ministerial edu* cation dur ing this month , that we may let th« brethren know I f they can return lu September.

Any amounts In Ihe malls ihat have notraaehed us will bo addc* to the Bfl|>l«mber futid.

The Pharisees knew that no man could cast out doiuuiis by the authority and power of leelzebub, but by th^ Spirit of Go<i only; and yet they declared that JeatH did cast out domons by Boelzcbuh. thus uttering a willful falsehood, and attributing tho work cf tho Holy .Spirit to the Devil, and, by so doing, sealed their eternal d jtn-nallon.

I. IiB thoroughneHM. This ComiueniHry not wrltlun by one writsr only, as it tho case with Clark.

Hearches of traveivru wlio have viHite.i 'wery region on which t h e l ight of revelation origiuai iy shone, by invo-tlKation in -cience, the expository iabora of HCholtirtj and critiai, and the dl.scDvery and deciphering of ancient inscription!^, inf^numents tnd inanuseriptH, thus render ing tho commen-taries of former d a y s comparl t ivoiy usekw^).

8. ItH cotupautnese. T h e tex t a n d the conimentM are not printed in separate parts, as is

usually t h e case, but are Interoi ingled stj as lo form ono cont inuous history. There are no b lank spaces, nor Is the botik tilled up with unnecets i ry t)or-tlons of t he text . It Is wha t it purports lo Iw, a (Joininontary, not a Bible. " It is liaerally packed , " says Bishop Wiley, " full of good th ings . "

4. Its brevi ty . There is no Commenta ry that will help tho reader to ar r ive at t he full

mean ing of thP Scriptures HO ea.sily, and in MO short a t ime. Dr. K l i c h e l says : " I t atttomptH to explain only what needs exp lana t ion . " Dr. Hmtth, edi tor of t he Chicago iStuudurd, says : I have In nevoral instanceu eeen a «eruion in a soutence."

6. Its liberal spirit . I t la more unsectarlan than any other Commenta ry . T h e names.,of

t he authofd are a BUlUcient guaran ty ugainst a n y denoiniuat ional t r a i t s ' In i t . " Thoee au thors are each of a dltrerent donarnlnat ion. T h e taearty recommendat ion of tlio leading men of all denomina t ions gives thislst i l l greater emphasis .

6. ItH ticrlpturo references. These a re more numerous than will bo found In any c o m m m e n t t r y eX"

tan t . Parallel passages a re given wherever they aro neotl^d. Scripture is thuaeJtplAlnedby ficripture; and the Commenta ry will thus be found to answer the purpose of a concordanee to a very great ex ten t ,

7. I ts i l lustrations and map.s. These are BUfflciently numerous to decidedly enhance its value a n d at-

treotivenees; whi le the great major i ty of com meutarlee h a v e no iUuatr^lone.

The traiixtiguration scene ansiiinet a profonnd interest from the lact Miat it in recorded in three of tte gospels in ttlnioat the «aine wordu, an<i ihim invilcii a most careful iminiry as to Iih ohject and import.

"And after sir days"—"And after si.x days ;" "And it came to pass an eight days after thcBO sayings," "ho took i'eter and JaineH and John" who wore "some of them which wtood there;" aud what did they seo? veritable persons and acts as descrtbod.

If tho persons presoni and the acts aro conaiderod as ropresontativo, thu whole occasion was a more wonderful exhibition than had over been made to mortal tuan.

First appears "tho Son of man." Tho aimstlcs had novor scon him except in his ordinary attiro of huniiliatton. lie ix soon by them now in his gloritledlporaoii and royal apparel. M«tlhow says, "his face did shiiio as tlio sun, and his raiment was white as tho light." Mark—"ho was IranM. figured bororo them, ami his raiment booamo shln-ing, excootliug white as snow." Luke—"the fashion of his coniitenanco was altered, and his raimoDt tHscaino white and glistening," Can any description tnoro gptiy roproseiit regal dignity? Thus (Peter 2 Epistlo i. 10) dftolaro^, "Wo woro oyo witnessM of his mtjesty—when wo woro with him on tho holy inount.'V And horo Is also his tllroct testiihony that what they saw was "his power and coming."
