3INBIFFEBENCE to omninN. IP there « b wajfthmg i ^ n in toe New Teitameni it is

that a ohumh is con«regalional and independent in constitution and government Its episcopate, or presbytery, ite diaeonat«, ita discipline, are ab< solutelj odngr^tfonal. The o^nism of the gos-pel never had a eatooUo^Mctension beytnd the pale of a local ehuroh; and no church officer, bishop or deaoon, e m exenuted disciplinary power, nor did he ever employ the moral function of his offitie, be-yond the Umita of Ms congregational jurisdiction The apoaUee taught toe ohurchea, as distinct sover-eigntiee, to elect thvir officers and to discipline iheir members; and toe loftiest apostle never sat as pre-siding elder, bishop or pope, in confc^nce nor council, to a^udicate the private afllln of a church of Jesus Christ. The apostles constituted and in-doctrinated toe ohorohee; and sometime they assisted in the ordinatjiptii of their choeen officers, or acted in tbe^padty of pastors; but they never assumed to govern, regulate, nor discipline, beyond toe revelation of inspired dpctrination.

Now, how can a ' Baptist recogniso organically any othw form of church government T Tho Bap-tists of past ages did not dare to do it. Some of ns do not, but it b a fact that a vast majority of modem Baptists act towards otoer organisms as if they were Scriptural. Many of us would re-ceive too ordinaUous of their ministry, as also their baptisms if performed by immeraion. The great sucoesa of P^obaptist and otoer churches, toe fact they have done great good aitd^embody a vast num-ber of good people and a splendid ministry, para-lyses our gospel logic In the elare of their glory. We shrink fh>m antagonizing What God seems to sanction; forgetting that God is himself independ-ent even of his own organism, and toat he can use error and overrule evil to accomplish his purposes, especially, when toe truth, at the hands of its oou-eervatore, does not aaaert itself sufficiently. If Bap-tiMs will not take the worid wito a whole gospd, then God will eave his elect by thoee who cast out devils, and who do not follow wito us. At best toere must be sects, br hereaiee, toat they wbtch are apprpved mii^ be made manifest, and we can but t^oioe if toe ^ p e l is preached, and unners saved firom whatever source the good work may oome. Let as fbllowship whatever is true and geod, but indiflSsrsnce to error and evil in any form. To agree to disagree with it, because it is suoceasfVil even b the accomplishment of good, is the growing treason of toe i ^ , and a sign of toe timea.

Upon evwy point which InvoIvjM gospel principle 'toere is a tendency to lelazatlon and Indifibrenoy. Mr, Beeoher's hal^trato preaching la largely the Older of the day, and below that point infidelity is riikK The tmioa of creeds la the a y , all matter of denomtaiAlonal pMollariiy bsiag a matter o in-dliloraoo; C ^ l t tilt only gtiiiaud fo bt

in common, and even npon Cbiriat crucified toere fttt fifty fundamental difilbrenoea ot opinion, and ot toa salvattoti of toe sinner. Indi&^oy is tend ing to chaos in principles. Some Baptiata in high posiiion, would not be averse to onion experiments. The withdrawal of Mr. Spurgeon from toe English Baptist Union, and the her^cal tendency of aome Baptist leaders toward toe new toeology, snhetan-tiate my coDjectures on this point. What is tme of some Baptists on tois point-is still more apparent amonte some other denominations. Scriptnra principles are but toe exprenion of the multiplied and multiform sentiment of " inner conacionsnesa with vast numbers of learned and unlwned peoplci, and ooutruveray in favor of toe troth is toe cause ofoflensa b> self-educated and self oooeplaoent con-, science. The Scriptures are of well nigh no authority to a multitude of Christian profossors, It is almost ont of date to discuss lundamental doc-trines. It is oonfidently declai*e that we have passed Irom the polemic to toe age of love and la bor, and .yet under toe pretence of unlimited-liber-ality denominational prijudioee are aa strong as ever. We have shifts from toe public battiefield of doctrine to the bovert arena of Jesuitic emulation.

IL Let us observe (he growing mdifferenoe to Scriptural practices.

Not only is toe gospel a system of principles, but it incorpontos, for ite development, a series of practices. We are to follow Jesus aod his apos-ties, in example, plau and metood, as close aa possible. The tendency of man is to adopt his own p>an and'method, and in a multitude of organ isms and schemes around us, it ia held toat God in this resp«ct reft nothing perfected, or left Christ-ianity to devise for itself. Out of tois idea sprang Young Men's tJhristian Associations and a number of other institutions which are to-day independent of all church authority and which are attempting to do church work, all in spite of Paul's splendid precept, tbut all glory should be rendered to God through Jesus Christ, by the Holy Spirit, and "In the church!" Tiiis is a specimen of general In difference to the sovereignty and integrity of church order, method aod work. But let us look mote specifically into the subject of practice.

1. Obewve the general indifference to discipline. We need not go out of our own ranks to find that the old sage of discipline hi dead. Extraordinary crimes and notoriously vicious character, especially among toe common people, of oonrae la not tolerated very long, but it is hard to tell what a prominent and wealthy man may not be and do, sometimes, without being called to order in aome of our churches. Wo are cursed, in many places, with big ainnen In high position. Our magnifieent embculera go from the front pew to toe peni-tentiary. Dmnkards, libertinea and pleaaiulsls pay toe drawing preacheri^vln popular ohurches, and the dance, the drama, toe hiweball, toe wine cop, the gaming table, too clrcua, toe saloon, ex-oepi when outrageously and protraetly nfraotoiy, have elbowed discipline until It doea not know It-self. Public oir«nsea are almost « ^ w l i e r e ton-doned, and toe law of Christ for asking personal oCfonsea haa been foimtteo. Paura ii\{aootion not

But wo are evidently coming to a criaia. The

nineteenth century is about to close. Tlie slxUi

millenuium it) almoat gone and the aovenlh is

of them ga<e about over the audience in Ood'a about to appoar; and it would seem from the Scrip

hoose. The poor are discouraged from coming to turea, corroborated by facte, that indiflVrency in the

many churchea; and are cared for, if at all, by eensea I have expreaaed, ia the Laodicpan aign of

proxy and without asaociation, on terms of equality this closing age. I t ia prophesied that in these

iu God'a houie. Hospitality to strangers is un-

known; aod hospitality among friends is largelv a

matter of form and buaineat. Poverty and miafor

tone are but the objects of eleemosynary inatitu*

ion ofoni'Qhurchea never visit the sick bed, the

hovel, the prison, or the lowly place of mourning,

even npoo the gospel idea of condescension to men

'iai>t days periioua times shall come;" and when

Paul uttered this prophecy, he charanterized thia

democratic period with the following picture : —

"Men ahalt bo lovera of their owoaelves, covet-

oua, boasters, proud, blasphemous, ditobedient to

parenu, unthankful, unholy, without natural afiec"

tion, truce brealcers, falae accuaere, incontinent,

fierce, dospiaers of those that are good, traitor«»

of low estate^ Primitive Chriationity seems to I e ! heady, bighminded, lover« of pleasurfl more than

ooknowo. Naaarene humility, simplicity aod j lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but de-

piety are seen in the lives and faces of hut ve y

few. Religion now U largely charaoterited by hurry,

bodneu and impatience—by propriety, ettiquet'e

andrespectibility—byculture.refioement and style,

l^prideamhition and emulation,by sen«atton,attrac

nying the power thereof."

These characterislicR were not written of the

world, hut of the church of the "last days" fraught

with "perilous times," ail the result of Ladittcean

freedom, prosperity and luxury. These are the

tioa and "boom," by elegance, music and arr, by signs of our time«; and it felta us of great "perilV*

but to begin a millennium; and he comes in a dark

and perilous houi- as a revolutionary ncctasiiy to

reclaim his bride and eavo and bless and glority the

worldi Ho does not come afte? fmti christ-the

man of sin is destroyed, and after the W((r]d hasen-

joyed a thousand years of his glory by his alMencej

but he destroys this anti-chrlat by the very"t)rii;ht. neaa of his coming," and who reigns and curses the

world until Christ does

come. M') dues not coyie

after Satan has been chained a whole millonnium,

at peace, and made pure by hi« absence; but bt

comes to chain Satan and destroy the powers with

him both of the beaet and of the false prophet.

Then comes the millennial reign over the earth in

which shall dwell rigliteousneaa, wherein there sha!!

be no more war, and where the lamb and the lion

eihall lie down togt«ther. Jesus witb his risen and

raptured saints ^hall be here then in glory; and the

nations saved shall wiilk in the li^ht and apleudor

of Jerusalem, where Jesus shall sit for the firat time,

and, ns prophesied, upon hit father David's throne.

I rejoice in the signs of the tirnos, though not ia

the sins of the age. When the g';8i>el ia prrachep

when the end ia reached Jesue shall return. The i

NoTK.-Those wh^ read the reports Moody"BriDcy

and the Hall Urum debates in the Baplid Oleaner,

are witnenaea to the fullness and fairness i»f the reporti

of the opposition speeches. At the time tho first

debate was being reported, in the Gleaner, a report

was also pnirting through Mr.Errett's iiaperofOin

cinnati, in which the Baptist aido wan given ahiut

oneflfth of tho space of the other, and in that Muall

space nearly every sentence was an intendod mis

representation. To this day we have leas reaiwct

for that reporter's honor and veracity than we hsve

for the average convict in the penitentiary. Then

of course, with this experience, and with such

ings, we could not think of mlsreporliitg Mr,

Harding. JBut here is our erabarraaainent.l To rt'

without moderatpra cvr-utnplres. We had each chosen

one to keep timll ^ Mr, Harding gained hfA

point, and availed himaslf of unbridle license to

tratnple thu rulea of debate under his feet. Hia

•peeohea were characterized chiefly for the personal

abuse of hia ppponen;. He violated from the begin*

niiig to the end hia argreement to confine himaelf

strictly to negative work while we were in the affirina

tive and hia repetitions were so frequent, and his

argumenta ao unuaually weak, that to do hiro jua-

Uoeinrour report would appear like willful injustice,

h e n c e to leave off his uncounted repetitions, and

bit continued assaulu on the personal character of

hit opponent will leave very little in the way

argument to be reported. We write this note as

oar apology for the little space given him in these

articles. We propos^ a stenographer for both

aidei, but thia he very wisely declined, I f thia ia not

satisfkctory to him and his friends, we propose to

remedy it in our next debate by ^having him re-

ported verbatim, at our own expense.

In this report we propose to do him justice in

hia few efforts at argument and this is all our

readers care for. After stating that he endorsed

most all we said on the identity of the two coven-

anta, and that even Mr. Moody might accidently

tell the trnth, he dasbed fiercely at our argument

on salvation by grace, through faith, by charging

vo^iferoatly and with violent pugilistic demonatfa-

tions that Moody had with unsacntified heart and

unhallowed hand, slapped the word of God atnack

in the face, for M(K)dy says a man Is justified by

faith only, but James says a man is not justified by

laith only but by works also.

Mr.Moody says he don't believe baptism doth now

aave us. This shows how he loves to contradict

God'a word, for Peter says in these very words,

baptism doth also now save us." I asked him in

our former debatw i f he was under any kind of a

law and I failed to get an anawer for eight days,

and I ask him now, and will continue to ank him

daring thia debate, and you mark what I telPyou,

he will never try to answer it. I baptize those

who believe, but Moody instead of baptizing them

will take them to the mourners' bench and say,

pray on, brother, may be the Holy Ghost will come

' down and conveirt you. This mourners' bench ex-

eitement continues aometimes till the poor mis-

guided floula are run Into distrsction or into in-

fidelity. Moody leaves the seeker seeking, but I

never leave one seeking. I always get htm through

before I leave him. I baptize him the same

hour. All on Pentecost got through and were

baptlaed atralghtway. Al l who believe nnd are

baptized «an demand admittance into heaven, and

What more can your mourners' bench seekers do.

Paa, oxix. tells bow we are quickened. Thy word

hath quickened me. James says, receive with

meekneaa the engrafted word whioh is able to save

your aoula. t h e aoul that thus obeys is as rlghteotia

M JeaUa Ohriat— aa rfghteoua as that sweet little

babe in that mother'a arms.

Mr, Moody talka like grace excludes works.

Why , fUth ia a work. Jesus aays In John sixth

obaptert T h i s ia the work of God that believe

on hin^ whom he hath lent. Faith la intellectual,

Hitod there la n o l i b i n g harder than mental work. I t

thrWgl0aTth e x o j n d l n g ^ faith la Bar

worlfe don't k w w

graoe iit will illustrate it foir him. I bay a-

h o i ^ ofjMe of my brethren and pay mm one bun '

drijld ii^a flfty dollarsi the full t don't

thank4imfor the horse after X have paid hint the

ful l ir ice, But i f that brother lays, Bro. H ^ i h g ,

I i^/ant to help ydu along some/take tha . hctrMi i t

seventy-five dollars This ia hal f grace and half sale,

i ^ t owe him thanks for the half gift. But i f be

gives me the hwse without price, then it U all of

grace, yet there is work for me, for I will have to

catch the horse, and saddle him, and ride him.

M a r k xvi. 16, has baptism before salvation. I

.will illustrate: "A .man falls into a pit. I pass

that way, and hear bis moans and groans and^cries

I tor help. I get a rope and bucket and let down b<^p

to him. ' I tell him there is the bucket, get in and

hold to the rope, and I will save him." The man

complies with the conditions, and I save him. This

is salvation by grace, but not without works. The

main bas something to do. Mr. Moody would say,

you can't do anything, just pray on, and I will oome

down after a while, and put you in, and then

will go up and pull you out. Now, when I find

man who wants to be saved. I tell him to hush his

whimpering and whining and do what is com

manded him, and he will be saved.

I f a man is sicit let him send for the doctor, and

have faith enough in him to do what the doctor

tells him. My sister went to Cincinnati to find an

oculist, and put herself under h»s treatment, and

did what was told her, and was saved from her

blindness. This is salyation by grace, but not

grace without works.

Don't Mr. Moody know that Jesus Christ never

received the Holy Ghost until after ho was baptized t

Neither did the apostles, nor the pentecostians, nor

any one before or after .pentecost, save Cornelius,

and that was a miracle. Christ, came to save all

tlioae who obey him. A man must have faith in

tho remedy, and then use it. Dead faith - never

saved anybody. Dead faith like a dead horse

good as far as it goes, but as Bro. Sweeny says

had as soon atart to Chicago on a dead horse as to

start to heaveu on a dead faith. Faith to save

must be perfected in obedience. Baptism is the

first act of faith, and faith is dead until it is per

fected in baptism. To show you that grace does

not exclude- works under tho goapel, 1 will read

Titus iii. 5: "Not by works ot righteousness,

which wo have done, but according to his ro«trcy

he saved by tho washing of regeneration and re

newing of the Holy Ghost." Everybody knows

that the Washing of regeneration means baptism.

So we are saved by baptism, yet not by works of

righteouaneaa, wnich we have done.

Faith perfected by works brings into Christ, and

how do we get into Christ? "Baptized into Christ."

Naanian was not cured till he dipped the seventh

time. His .faith was perfected when he did what

was commanded htm. 'J he man received his sight

when he washed m the pwl of Siloam, but not

until hia faith wiuj perfected by works Faith with

o u t w o r k s IS dead or unproductive. So all this

talk about salvation by grace through faith, with

out works, means works of the law, but faith is

dead without the works of the gospel. ^A man

must do what Is commanded him. " H e that he.

lievoth and is baptized shall bo flftved." Bahab

was not saved by a dead faith. Abraham was nn

obedient servant of the Lord, but he was not a

Christian. All these compiled with the law they

w e r e under, and were saved. B o wo. must conaply

with the conditions of the l a w under which w e l i v e

or we c a n ' t be saved. ' 'He that beliaVeth a n d is

baptised shall be saved." "BapUsm doth aUK> n o w

I tort) to the word of Christ for my ansner. "He Is Qoad over all tiiinn to the oburoh," and ov«r

^ this as well m everything else. HU xmd giim no inviMion, nor authorim me to give any.

Itiere Is S O T even anythbg that looks like an in tltatlon. T I i ^ is nothing of the ordinance that even seenu t;> require or even justify an invitation If the pastor ought to give such an invitatioit it is because the word of God requires him to do T O ,

whieh is the very thing it D O E S not do . L O T any oneshow me the authority in the Soripturea forsuoh invitation, and I Will take nothing L E G S .

Away with his expediency, away with his pro-priety» where the word o f God is silent. Christ did not invite even bis own apoatlea, fur it was not a matter of invitatien, or such as required i t .

I T has already been shown that: ( I r i t i s a obarob ordinance. ( 2 ) As church members we

F ohlerveit. ( 8 ) That our obligation to remem. ber oar glorified Savior is commensurate wi th our other church duties, v i z . , within the church of which we are members. ( 4 ; That i t is absurd to invite a church member to do his duty. As well think of inviting him to love his brethren, something which his Lord has commanded him to d o , y e t DO more than he has commanded him " T h i s DO in remembrance of m e . "

No man shall drive me from the word of Qod in this matter, and I demand of any man his author-ity for inviting any one to the Lord's table.

Nor will I be intimidated by the cry of new de-parture, ecclesiastical narrowness, Baptist bigotry, etc., eto. The fact is, there is no departure about it, bat simply keeping to the word of God. The fact is, it if not narrowness at all,' for it is just AS broad as the word of Christ, which is as broad as the duty of each member. The fact is, it is not bigotry at all, for it gives op all for Christ, and will none of the ezpediencim or proprieties of men as a rule of action in this matter. Can anything be broader than Christ himself made it T Is any thing too narrow which is as broad as ho has made it?

Bat I am asked, " where doe< this leave the •brotherofanother church of the same faith' and order?* A member of another church? I answer It ledvee him fast where he has been all the time. It leftvee him just where he put himself when he joined the ohnroh of which ne is now a member. I t leavee him in the full enjoyment of all that, per-

' Udna to membership in such church, r - I t leares hlmytlst where he leaves mo in respect : to the same thingti.* Neither one vrongs the other

nor in anything abridges the church privileges of the other.

Hake this noble and truthful utterance from Mr. Bpurgeon: " The Baptist oharohes are each one of them •elf.oontaiaed and independent."

I may a a ^ y ohallenge any one to state ia the lame number of words, the clear unequivocal truth about Baptist ohnrohee, in more expressive and ex-baastive lasgoage than hi*.

Self contained, and therefore, oontalnicg within Itoelf the oxdbanoes ( each ehuroh in their adminie* tMtlon tnd MTTiM '

This settles forever another fact in re-gard to the L O R D ' S E U P P R J I mean deuomiuationa oammuniuu. In order iairiy to consider this point I will submit the fullowiug: -

W . M . Taylor, D . I > . , on euimetit Congrega tional raldisuir of New York , H A S recently been in London, W H E R E he partook of the oommunion With M N Spurgeon'S church ; whereupon he wrilea to the Chmtian O I Work, ' I close with one question to my Baptist brethren:. W h y should the minis-ter of a Congregationftl church in America need ( C O to London iu order to enjoy the P R I V I L E I ; « of tak-ing part in a communion service in . A ^ Baptist church T I am r e a d y , despite his recent unacoount able irapeachnient of Robert Hall 's orthodoxy, to receive and welcome Bro . Armitiige in the Broad-way Tabernaclc as Mr. Spurgeon welcomed roe. Won 't he follow such an excellent example in the P ^ I F I H Avenue Baptist church ? ' "

' Why should the minister of a Congregational church in America need go to London in order to enjoy the privilege of taking part in a communion service in a Baptist church?" Yes verily 1 1 and Why does he neeil lo go ? Who put on him any such necessity ? Why does he need to be A Congre gatioaal minister? Why b y such connection with a Congregational church, cut himself off voluntarily cut himself off from a Baptist cburcb in Amerca?'

What is there in a Baptist church iu London, or anywhere else o f which the minister of a Congre gational church has need? And what is the matter with his own church that it can 't supply that need ?

' Enjoy the |irivilege." P A Y N D r . T A Y L O R R ^ It is a matter then of pr ivi lege, ' i ind not duty. A mat tcr » f enjoymeut, ruthcr than obedience.

" I am ready * • to receive and welcome Bro. Arniitage iu the Broadway .Tabernacle A S Mr . Spurgeon welcomed n i e ."

A n d then as though he had never heard that Japiists P R O T O N S to be governed by ttie Law of

Christ, s a y s : • • W o n 't he follow such an excellent example in the Fifth Avenue Baptist church?"

The idea of a minister, of .Jesus Christ following the example o f an nninopired man 1 N O , jiUusion to the example of Chr is t; no appeal to the teach ng of the apostles, simply askine a Baptist for the

same accomodation on this side of the ocean whicb he fuund on the other. While ho rises to the broad jenerosity of s a y i n g : " Only do so, Bro, Armit -ago, and I wil l return the favor." How generou8(?) Jow noble ( ? ) • • I am r e a d y , " says Dr . Taylor.

Ready to do what? To take the Lord's supper, and spread it for the need and . privilege of Dr . Armitege.

Reduced to tte last analysis, it amounts to just this: " Lot Dr . Armitege give up those very things which make him a Baptist, then Dr. Tay-lor won 't have to go to London to enjoy his n r iv i . lege ." ^

And then to complete the work be could say to the Presbyterian, give up your Presbyterianlsm and I will receive you. To the Episcopalian, give ap your bishop and I will reooive you.

To the Roman Catholic, give up your pope and I will receive you. In other words go baok on all you teach and bolleve aa fundamental to what you •Tt. •4:,, ' • .

(qOMOI.UJl>KI> NEXT WEEK.) ^ PROFESSOR DRUMMOND'S BOOK.

HO. U. BU T to this theory Professor Drummond hna

committed himself with all the emhagiasm of his nature. His entire book rests upon i t, and iu bis zeal he outdsrwins Darwin. He proceedi much further than any who liave travtled the same road o f conjecture. As the Soientifw . I R E N A

well pute it: " A l l evolutionists of the materialistic ecbool

hold that evolution has a limit within the realm of nature—the organic kingdom. P I ' o f . Drummond, however, s a y s : Not so Here is hia description of the process—page 4 0 2 : 'Then from a mass of ail but homogeneous protoplasm the organism ( s p i r i t -ual) must pass through all the stages of differen-tiation, and integration, growing iu perfectnesa and beauty under the unfolding of the higher evo-lution,until it reaches the Infinite 0>raplexity, the

untihilitc- linA ' To . . Infinite Sensibility, O o d . ' Is not T H I T amaz ing , to say the least of it? But again, the Professor tells us that the spiritual kingdom is the last in the scheme of evolution, ttie chief capstone of this great structure.. . . From this it unavoidably folluwa that matter was before spirit—matter is e t e r n a l , spirit has been _ evolved. . . . Admit the correct-ness o f hia ftosition, and it follows that, A S naturu* knows man only as an animal, like all other ani-mals be only possesses animal life. Un t i l ho is 'regenemted-- born aga in ' — u n t i l Christ imparts the spiritual life through this means, man haanoue, he IS still pousessed only of animal life, ami with h i m , as the brute, death ends all. Away goea hell and future existence for nil dying unrogenerated or no't twice born. Do you see? But U N O I T I E R

trouble gets iu your * a y . - . . If Qod could ho dispenaed with at the beginning, so He can H O W IH>

dis | ensed with. This is indeod tne logical outcome of evolution of any name or fashion. . , . But alas I How his logic slaughters the Christian's G o d , when he 'frames a large doctrine of evolution ' . . Truly we can't tell what to think of Prof. Drum-mund'IT system of Christianity. . . . HoMing as ho dobs the evolution of evolution we care not whether he says evolution is ' G » > d the I K ) W E R , ' or 'natural forras the power, ' or 'God 's laws the p o w e r , ' either position is destructive to him and the Christian religion."

The position which the iSbiVn/'yio ^Irena thiuka the Professor's argument logically uecessiutea with regard to the eternity of matter, he boldly assumes. His words are:

*'We should be forsaking the lines of nature were we to imngine fur a moment that the now creature wao to Iw formed out of nothing. Ex nihilo ntAt/—nothing can be made out of nothing. Mutter unereatablo a n d IndMtruolibk", He also,does more than bint at conditional im-

mortality And the annihilation of the wickeJ,and N

denial of the resarrection; be broadly asserts theae errors. I t is true that in his chapter on Degene* nitioB Ee says, "al)ouId any ono object that from tbia soientifio standpoint the opposite of salvation is annihilation, the answer is at hand. From this Btandpoint there ia no such word." But it is also tme that in his ofaaptor on Eternal Life we find the following:

It is a canon of interpretation, according to Alford, that *a figurative a«cse of words is never admissible except when required by the context.* The con-text, in mtut oases, is- not only directly unfavorable to a figurative meaning, but in innumerable in-stances in Christ's teaching Life is broadly con-trasted with death."

It would L>eeaKyto prove that the Lord Jesus constantly spoke of men as silive in one sense, and dead in another, and that by Life He M'eant t l)« Life of God in the soul, eternal well being, A I by Death He meant the A B S E N C K S O F Spiritual life, eter-nal eeparation from Qod , and from holiness, and from happiness. This, however, is not the place to discuss the question; but, to show the Profc«!or's ground, be iinmediafely follows the forecoing statement with a hearty approval of the declaration of Reuss concerning the word of F ' O D :

' ' I n fact, it can disfiense both with the philoso phical thesis of the immateriality or indestruct-ihility of the humnn soul, and with the theological thesis of N miraculous corporval reconstruction of our person; thesis, the first of which is altogether foreign to the religion of the Bible, and the second absoliitely opjiosed to reason,"

No wonder T H A T the Professor has such erroneous views of the future life of tho believer, whether we t h i n k o f t h e soul as absent from t h e body, a n d I>er8ent with the Lord, or of the full glory, when Jesus shall come a second time apsrt from sin unto completed salvation:

" I * evolution to atop w i t h the organic? If it be objected that it has tnken ages to perfect the function in the hatracbian, tho reply I S that it will take agef* to perfect the function in the Christian. For every thousand years the natural evolution will allow for the development of its organism, tho Higher Biology will grunt its product millions We have indeed 8p->ki>n of the spiritual corre8|>on-deuce as already jwrfect—but it is perfcct only as the bud is perfect. ' I t doth not yet appear what it shall be , ' any more than it appeared a million years ago what the evolving bntrachian Would b e . "

One can hardly keep from quoting Cariyle, when ho reads that wo are all descended from the frogs:

"I have known three genera'lons of the Dar-wins, grand-father, father and son, atheists all Tho brother of tho famous naturaliat, aqntet man, who lives not tar from here, told mo that among his grand-father's effeots ho found a seal engraven with this legend, Omni ex cofchn's, —everything from a clam shell. I saw tho naturalist not many months ago, told him that I had read his Origin ofSpeciOH and other books, that he bad by no means satisfied me that we were descended from monkeys, but bad gone JTar toward persuading mo that ho and his so-called soientifio brethren had brought the present generation very near to mon-keys. A good sort of man is this Darwin, and well meaning, but with very little Intellect. Ah, it is a sad and terrible thing to see nigh a whulo generation of men and women, professing to be cultivated, looking around iu a purblind fashion, and finding no God In this universe, t suppose it is * reaction from the reign of cant and hollow prelenso, professing to believe what in fact they do notbofteve. And this is what wo bavo got jo, —W1 things frnm flrog spawn: the gospel of dirt the order of the rtay." Bat tho Profeasor branches off Into Pantheism,

or at least into a Bo>calIed Gbrlstlan but really thoronghly Infidel sclonoe, which ia all tho rage Joat now wUb ihort-balred women and long-kalred men* Hear how he talks i—

' ••-'•TT There is a vast deal more of such rubbish, some

of which may be noticed hereafter, although U is a most palnfnl task to write on a subject and in a way that will certainly alienate and provoke many beloved and honored brethren. If In faithfuIncBs to Christ an'd his trnth tho duty of expressing the firm conviction that tho book is full of false and dangerous teaching could have been avoided not aline would have been printed. All that is claimed for tho Professor by his most ardent admirers is gladly conceded. Tiiat he is bright and genial and scholarly and winning lit appoarauce and in man-ner, and jovnn zealous In his efforts to save souls, there is no reason to doubt. A brief personal In-terview In Londbn more thin four years age left a most fav.orable impression of the man; and when the book was received from the publishers It was opened with every predilection strongly ou tho side of the accompllohcd author. But' the eager perusal of its pai^es bronght bitter disap-pointment and grief» an it bccame more and more apparent that its testimony nearly everywhere is contrary to the mind of God as revealed in tho Sacred Scriptures.

Such statements as the following are found here atid there from first to last, wherever the reader may turn:—

"Tho spiritual world, as It stands, is full of per-plexity. One can escape doubt ouly by escaping thongnt. . . . With the Inspiration of nature to Illumine what the inspiration of revelation has left obscure. . . . If the law of continuity is true the only Way t« encape the concliuion that, the laws of tlie natural life are tho laws, or at least are laws, of tho spiritual lifo. Is to say that there is no spiritnal life. It is really easier to giro nn thO phenomeua than to give up the law. . . . Spiritual hfe is not a visit from a iorce but a resident tenant In tho sonl . . . The wicked are paid, in the B'ble, to bo lost. They arc not really lost as yet,, but they are on the sure way to it. . . . Tho qneitlon of life or death to him Is the qneatlon of tho amount of rcmaln'ng environment he is able to compass. . . . One of the most start ling achieve-ments of recent science Is a definition of c tcnal life. To the religious mind this Is a oontributlon of Immense moment. For elKhicen hundred years only one definition of life eternal was before the world Now there arc two." Then after several eloquent pages to prepare tho

way for this wonderful dofinltion, which has been given to the waiting and broatbloss world by Her-bert Spencer, about the meanest and most self conceited infidel now living, ho brings it out with a great flourish of Irnmpets. " It Is correspondence with environment," which environment, tho Pro-fessor tolls us. Is everything outside of one's self. So to our Lord Jesus Christ and to Herbert Spencer, who hates Jesus Christ, wo are Indebted for all that wo know of eternal lite.

"Tho distressing Incompetcuce ot which innst of us are conscious In trying to work out our spiritual exporlence is due perhaps less to tho

That there is each a radical moral chaiign w w n g h t Upon us by the Holy Spirit through tha w-Ord a- to be designated a "birth of the Spirit," "born-agaiu." born from above, a puFslug from death (spiritual) unto life (spiritual), a translation out of darkness Into the kingdom oi God's dear son, a now creation In Christ.

[ N l o o k i n g over for crowded-out artlolea fh)m 1 last year's we find the fo'lowing fn>m the jtdigiQU*.Umld, intended to have been ini^rted a week beforO the last Southern Baptist Convention, held in l^aisvUle. I t vividly oaib to mind the metnories of other years. We remember wo preached in the Eaat-atreet Baptist church and for tiie First Oftlorod church one night. Few, very few, ol that mighty host remain; and we only a liUle lunger stayt and how little mme can tell: but we can rejoice in thn talented and ploua young men who are coming to the front and taking our placos.

The Southern Baptist Conventi"n met in Louis' ,ville in 1857 with the following offict-rs: Dr. Howell, President. 1 Vice-presidents: B. Manly, sr., Dr. Jeter, W. G. Buck and Ihos. Siocks. Secretaries: W. Carey Crune and Geo, B. Taylor All have gone home except Dr. Taylor, and yet it hn« been only thirty years.

Ou Sunday, B. Manly, sr», and Dr, Howell preached at the Walnu'-street church, the latter in Biteruoon, and at uiglit there was a mass raeetiog for raiesions, with ajldrcwes by J . L . Burrow?, John A. Broadus, A . M. Ptdndexter and J . B. Taylor. A t the First Preitbylerian church Dr. Jeter aud Dr- J . M. Pendleton preached. At the >^'aluut->«treet Methodist church L . W. Allen and J . W. M. Williams preached.

It was J A Broadus who moved that a commit^ tee be app^dnted on Bible aud book colportage. Even at that tarly day his thoughts were much ou books.

The intro<luctory sermon was by Dr W Carey Crniie on Man's True Mission. All we remember a)K)ut it i4 that ho was not at his bcstf

A collcntiou wus lifted tor the Coliseum place church. New Orleans, and Beventcen brethren gave one hundr«d dollars *piece. Among the number who tUd this wore E. DimIsou, W D Thomas, J B Taylor, J H DeVotie, T P Lid®, 8 Henderson, J R Graves and Smith Blipldon. Dr J P Bojce gave Ore hundred dollars He had mouey enough (hen and he didn't know any Iwtlcr than to give it away hy the hundreil aud thousand.

Dr I T Tichenor stepped forward wiih a paper iu his hand, and Dr. Howell said: " The 'irotber Irom Alabama has »be fi'jor." Bro. Tichenor looked over the {f^at audience serenely. He was not as stout then as he is now; but ho had more hair on hia head than now. His motion called for raieiug within the next oonveotion year $100,000 for Foreign Missions, and the motion was unani'' momly^adopUid. That wai thirty years ago mark you i

Again in 1 8 7 0 ^ just seventeen years ago, the C^onvebtion met in Louisville with P . H. , Mell, pruident. A mons; the visiting brethren was B GriiB^h. D.D. , who made a very fine impieesiun for his Publication Society. Rev C C Chaplin was one of the tellers. Dr A M Polndext^r urged that delegates " maintain a devout and praytul spirit." ~

Dr. Burrows preached the opening sermon from "Awake, awake, put on thy strenth, O Ziou,"

R«v M T Sumner was Correaponding Secretary of the Home Board, and he engiueerud a coliection which aihounted to $2,625.

Dr. Jeter moved the appointment of a committee to report whether any, and if any, whatxaction should bo taken for a restoration of fraternal afiec tion and cs-operatiou of the Baptists North and South.

There has been signal progress lu these years. Double the amounts aie yearly contributed to tlie Convention Boards; aud we am occup} ing Mexico, South America and Cuba with Mitisiouaries. There are three Baptist churches in CuDa to day and five thousand B»ptiDta in snutnuent.

BKO MOOPY : — After you lett the Duck river Aeiaocifttioi, Bro. Wm. Huff said to me iu retereuce to your argum' nt on the Lord's supper, as bnaight out ill your tifrmon, If he [ j o u ] can show by the »p»iimony of Jesus that the tw» lv« H|M>6tle8, or those who communed at the iDstiiution of the ruppor, constituted a local church, sud all the Qthi r di's ciplf'S were not recognized as church members, he [vou] has got us ; but this I do not think he can do." .1 asked bim to cubmit it in writing, and would submit it to y<'U, and he did so as above. Ho further premised that you might show it from li-gitimate inference or reastmable deduction.

Rich Creek, Tenu. D. 8. McCuux)UGir.

The above hns In'en overlooked, and we now give it a short notice. If Bro. Huff admits that if it can be shown from legitimate inference and reasonable deduction that the eleven o<<nstitu(e<l a church, then he admits that from legitimate infer-ence and reasonable deduction we have got him. We think we can do more than this, and here is our effort.

If Christ set us an example that we should fol loM in hii steps, and if we are to do this till he come, then :n doing it till be come we should fol-low hif example. Now Paul, In First Corinthians, and Baptists since that, have observed the supper as a church ordinaow, and hence Christ observed it aa a church ordinance, or we are not ibllowing his example. Paul required the wholeipburoh to come together in one pl^ce, and to tarry one for another, to purge out the leaven, 80 as not to eat with bad oharaotora. He taid they were one body, one loaf; for they all partook of the one loaf. Tfaia be r^elved of the Lord, and thla be de l ivmd to the churohea, to be thus kept till he come. Noit the Lord did that wi^ , unleta he praotlced one way

THE EASTERN QUESTION.

LATEST reports from the East all ngreo that Bussla will not disband a aoldlor until she has

annexed Bosnia and Bulgaria, and thus opened the Way to Constantinople War in the near fu-ture is regarded as inevifaWo. Uiamarck pro-fesses to feel kindly toward Rnssia. and declares it is France which Is waiting for the chauco'to at-tack the Fatherland. It is very certain that the French army is an enormous ouo, that It has been strengthened with the view of having another wrestle with Germany, and that the foreinost French inventors have been at work forging new destructive weapons, which arc oalculated to give the Gallic annies an advantage over the Teutons To help its i^mics the French have almost sue ceedcd l i^avlgat ing the air. Indeed, in calm weather,/they have found out how to propel aerial vessels to and from certain points, though as yet they have not been able to overcome strong winds. The next w^r In Europe will bo a terribto ouo. It will involve all the nations, aud some four million eflTectivo men will oppose each other in deadly array. It is positively disheartening to thiuk of the mighty efTorts that aro now being put forth to kill human beings when the next confilct takes place. Science and art have been enrolled in the service of slaughter. Let us at least hope that onr own country will keep clear of all foreign en-tamrlements, and that we will not suffer from the operations of the armies that will be called into existence to settle the burning Eastern question.

Dr. Laflertv of the Richmond Advocate recently made a visit to Tennessee, and pays his respects

/to the so-called University of the South, an Insti-tution of our Episcopal friends at Sewanee. He Is reported as sftylng "This old field school with tbe aspiring name Is very English yon know Little fellows, with their months not quite re-covered from the pucker of the sneking-bottle, wear the mortar.bat of Oxford, and attempt the catch-words of the cockney. The prelates put on Btyle, —very turkey-cockney.

Itconnectn man with Christ, God and heaven. It givee him a title to tiie joint beirahip with ChriBt, and e6tal>liHhcfl bim an heir of God. By thii,' the new bit-tii, ho takea hold of the promitet of (Ind and booomei fit to be a member of Cbritt'a kingdom on tbe earth. Being bom from aboiaa be is a partaker of the joy of everlasting life in the eoui, and rralizea thi; forgive-neea of sina and an acceptance nitn God. Old thing* have pasted nwt Behold ell thiDgi have bccome new to bim who it the subject of thi« D]< vine power. Born not of blood m>r of t he will of the flesh nor of the will of man but of God he it prepared far every good ord and work. He it now ready and able to eay, "Christ livcth in me,'» and, I "believe with the heart uoto righteont. ntee," and am prepared to make coniettion with •the mouth unto talvation. Re it willing now to deny himaelf and take up the cro6t, and follow Jeaua through evil as through good report. All tee that he ia a changed man. His relations are clianged. He formerly loved the world, its follies and tins. Hs gave himself up to the indtilgpncee of the fleth, and cared nothing for Go«i or, (Jhritt or tbe value of bit toul. Now he loves God, obeyt Christ, enjoys the society of Gnd's people, givea himself to prayer, and feela bound to obey the gotpel oi tbe Bon of God. A new light has sbined upon him, and new impultet direct hi* life. He lookt forward, in hit new correBpondenceo, to bis finfti and happy eutrance into the home of tbe hlesaed, where the wicked ceate from "troubling, and where the weary are foi ver at rest.

Hie new birth boa been clearly stated since the writing of th New Teetament Scriptiiret. For more than eighteen hundred years tbit has been a cardinal doctrine among Chnttiant who follow foithfully the Divine word; and I remember no ayatem of rel'igion or philotophy over advocated by the great writera or philoaopbera of the world, ancient or modem, that requirea its followers to beoome new men in the aente of being born from above. The world doea not underatand this new birth, and irill not accept it,

Tbia new birth it. In the word of God, made neoeeMiy, that one may bccome a true disciple of Cbriat ; and it ie the eminent characteiittic which diatinguithea Ohriiliftnity flrom other tyatemt. Tbontftndii of men and women, beliovert in Ohritt, bava anflbred nutold penecutiont, fierce and re* lantleaa, along the centnrioa of the paat, with calm reaignatioti, koowing^ that if death reaulted ever, lasting fVeedom fhim tean and ain and pfttil would be their reward. They knew, with the apoftle Paul, that if their earthly houta of tbia tabernade were diriiolved they had a building of God, ahonae not mada with banda, eternal in ihe heatwit. t < llMif arbrdvitf God exactly aaits man'a earthly

and oiganlxatlon, iliioa ha4 ii; a dual

being, made up of material IM fti"^ SmmateHal soul, a|t outer and an inner mat},'Qod made man's iwdy M of the dust of the ground {" i and after he felt from the high and holy state in wtvich ho waft createii God eaid of hisjb y, "For ottt of it [tbe ground] watt thou taken: for d et thou art, and untoduitihou jh<iU return." We tee this con-dition of man verified every day; ior.i ah eickent and diet, body and toul are peparatt , the body returning to the elementt, oxygen, nitrogen, tar bon, iron, caictam, phosphorus, etc,, that tbeie may be inetruinental in furnishing food, fie«b, etc., for other auimal and vegetable bodi t, as they are producefi on tbe ei rth. A a rain deiecfndt from the ciou to supply (he. necttwities o? life, tinlts into the toil, and fills the under channels and reservoiri), or gathers into river.< from the water sheds of earth, and is thence conveyed into the great oceans, whiph occupy three times the surface of the world, c6iM'pared to the land, and then rises, by evapo-ration, to form clouds, again to do the same work, to make another revolution, so m»n arises, con tinucs. his threescore years and ten, performs bit cycle (for nature moves in eyelet), and then hit Iwdy returnt to the elements called dutt in the wort! of God, to supply for the neic.i age what may he neceatary tbut nature's wheels may contlantiy revolve.

The body is of the farth earthy. It has received the birth of the flesh; and thit ia all that tbe body can receive; for it is made of earthly mateilalt, ttnd cannot be born from ab<jve,. though the toul, iieing born fn»tu above, may so regulate tbe body, and, with ihe true and living Chrittian, may be so brought und , that it may and doet bec(»me sub ject to the control of the soul, to obey the will of God.

The toul of man, the inner part of hit dual nature, the immortal part, with it apucity for life, iiiteliectuality and spirituality, is an organi* sation distinct from ita material envelopment, a real aomclhing, or substance, capable of the blrib from al)Ove, and fully prepared by the I>ivine power to enter into tbe paradise of God when body and tottl tepirate, nn.l to enjoy heavenly converse with other souJs who were kept by the power of God, through faith, unto salvation, and who, by the new birth, became Christ's chosen people. ^

After man's body wat made, not out of nothing but out of tometbing, " tbe dutt of the ground," then God breathed into bis nostrilt t breath of Uvea, and man became a living tout. This living toul made ita encampment within the iKidy because the exact counterpart of the body and it that Immaterial taliitance, or enlty, which giv(it life, mentality and spirituftlity to tho body. Blan truly waa created m God'a own imagOt and it in everyway qualiftel to poiaett and aubdue the earth. Man alone of all God'a earthly orations ia mado immortal,*** becoming, through the workmaosbijp ofGod,"allviogaoulI" '
