' p.nd hi« .^n.is'l. s? W h o came after tlii m in the Cliristi ui church, that were i-nlitled

I to originate a different pnictice? r n i \ in ' al lows that Chri'-t .'aid immerx", at the \ e r v i time v.'heii lie de. l.ired "all power is g iven • me in heaven and on earth ." Is it not a daring assault on the modiatorial authority of the Lord for any nmrtal to sav njiriidle'

; It is of no use to tell us "tlie practice of sprinkling has prevai led ." W e still demand

! by whose autV.oriiy? Did Christ repeal his ! statuie of immerx'on'l No . But Calvin ' tells us "such a trilling difference as that j between sprinkling and immersion is not a ! mat ier of such moment as that we should I on that account divide the church or dis-turb it by brawls!" This was not spoken like the master in Geneva. W h e n he had all hi.s wits about him, no man of liis day

' knew so well , that if divis ions and brawls i arose in consequence of our s imply stand-! ing in Christ's plain word, tliese could not ' be laid at our do<3r, but just ly be longed to

those who would not bear what tlie Master said.

I V . " T e a c h i a g them t o o b s e n e all things whatsoever I have commanded y o n . " T h i s injunction is at once comprehpnsive, very precise, and very significant. " A l l th ings ," not one thing, even the least was to be left o u t N o matter how much the things might differ in relative importance. In so far as

' they were c o m m a n d e d by Christ, they all stood on a level , and it was impossible to tamper with what might seem the least, without implicit rebellion. " W h o s o e v e r shall break one of these least command-ments , and shall teach men so, the s a m e shall be called least in the k ingdom of heav-e n . " But not only does the language im-

if Pe ter dared not g o beyond whatsoever Christ comnisnded , what shall we think of him who continually dinning us about ajKis-tolic auiliority, g ives commands which ('!;;isi lu ver gave , and Peter never dream-ed of. I care not^ whether he jireteiid to be a suecos-^orof tlie Apobtles, or an Apos-tli' h imself , I must hold him in this, aiid-chri.-.tian.

Tliis plain view of Christ's word .nlties tlie .[uestion of roraniunion. in the Lord's Slipper. " D o tliis in remembrance of m e , " was one of the things wiiich Christ com-manded his .Vposih'S. In this la.st coni-nii-sion. he di.<tinrtly commands the . \pos -ties to immerse belieM-rs, before instruct-ing iheni about their jirivilege of eating the Slipper. Tliis is His order, and who may snl.\ ert il? The . \pos t les evidi ntly under-stood it so. The first thing the Pentecos-tal i-onverts were comnianiled to do was to be immersed: an.l ihen .and not till then did tliey unite with tlie ehiirch in the breaking of bread. .-Vnd whatever libert\-firofessors have taken wiih the otlier arn^tigeinents of (.'i.ri^t, thi re is no denomination that has rot insisted 011 pul l ing Ba]itisni before the Siijiper in the order of observance.

ciently declares. \Vhence we understand it was not vrithout reason that some long ago insisted on the immersion of the whole body in the ceremony of baptism." Rich-ard Bentley (the man to whom Horsely would doff his mitre in Greek) eiplains baptismons dippings. Bossuet, Bkhop of Meaur, the subtlest adversary of Protes-tantism, declares "to baptize signifies to plunge as is granted by all the world."—

' ply that we must not come short of what I Christ h.is commanded, it is equal ly preci.se ' in rebuking all that goes beyond or beside

Christ's word. E v e n those who profess to have come out from R o m e , insist on the right of the church to legis late in thing.s in-different, and t h e y m a k e very loud, and v e r y exc lus ive pretensions to be the suc-cessors of the Apos t l e s too.

Dr. Cone made some brief remarks, stating that tlie church of whicli he was pastor had now, for more than a century, through many seasons of adverse and pros-perous for tune, maintained its existence, and an adherence to tlie doctrines and com-mandments of the Saviour. H e alluded to the presence of two of his ministering brethren, the one, the Rev. Mr. Wyckof f , who more than forty years ago, had left the D u t e h Reformed Church, and had united him.self with the Baptists; and the other, tho Rev.

\ \ e shall now produce other examples to I show what meaning is to be Bltnelied to 1.-'jtizo from its usage in the wriiini.'s of I ireek authors? Let u«i - e i — P i n d a r , Pyth . 2. l.-ji', de-cribing the impotent malice of his enemies, compan s l,;;^seif ihe cork up.in a net, whieh, on r.-Touni of ius buov-aney. does not sink, say-: - A s when a net is r.i>t into the sea, the cork swims above, -o am I uiilxiptized;" or as Professor Stuart tran-lates it "iNrLr.s-i^FD." On this pas-sage in i'lndar, the (ip-i k -choliHs', in com-meniing, says: "Like n c nrk fpf b net in Uie .-ea, I am not baptized, [ P r o f Htuart—"I

' a m r,.it pluvgcd or n u n i . " ] A s the Cork d>ics not sink, so am I unplunqed*^ [Prof . Stuart—"S<.i am I urJmpUsed, not immers-cd."\ N o one need res.>rt to a dictionary

' to a.-'certain the meaning of baptizo m the above quoLitions. To ns.-ign to it any otlier meaning' than to ivimerfe or its equivalent is ui ieriv impossible. Every man can here define it f.ir h imse l f The idea of sprink-lin',' or pouring is utterly out of the ques-tion. Prof. Stuart thinks its meaning, as We have quoted him, "too clear to admit of doubt."

The an'-ients suppo-ed that the sun in setting Went down into the sea. This every one familiar m t h their writings knows .— Hence Orpheus, Argon. 614, says: " W h e n the sun had baptized him.self in the waves of the ocean, then the moon, decked in a robe of l ight, led on her starry tra in ."—

I Sprinkhng and pouring are out of the ques-tion here. The sense cannot be mirt.'vken.

Hippocrates, p. 340, compares the breath-ing of a patient, stihcied with a pecuhar disea.se, to the manner of a person's fetch-ing ills breath after coming out from under the « ater: " H e breathi d as persons do af-t( r 'ueing Uiiiizcd." say tlmt he bre.^tl;-ed ns persons do after be ing besprinkled would h.ave too much the appearance of

I trilling tu be ascribed to the father of in. .li.-ine. Immersion is the only possible

I nie:ning. Aga in , p. £32, the same author says: "Shall I not laugh at the man who

j lizes [Prof . Stuart—'Sinks ' ] his ship by i overloading it, and then complains of the sea for ingulfing it with its cargo?" Can folly itselJ" presume to a-cribe the meaning of lo sprinkle or to pour, to baptizo in tliis

• sentence?

Diiidorus Siculus, 11. 18, speaking of a sea-f ight, says: "The admiral's ship being

'baptized, [Prof . Stuart—"Merged or s u n k , ' ] I the arm.ament was thrown into great con-fusion." Can mean to sprinkle or to pour in this sentence? Does it not mo.st palpalily s ignify to immerse? A g a i n ,

I Lib. 16, "The river, h o m e along with a j more violent current, baptized [ P r o f Stuart

'Overwhe lmed' ] many [of the soldiers] and carried them away , as they were s w i m m i n g

i with their arms." I t does not require a I very skilful lexicographer to define what is meant by baptizo in this last quotat ion.—

I Every man can be his own dictionary. I t I evidently means to immerse. I Herachdes Ponticus , Aliegor, p. 4 9 3 , I moralizing the fable of Mars being taken ' in a net by Vulcan, says: "Neptune is in-igenious ly supposed to deliver Mars from I Vulcan, to s igni fy lhat when a p i e c e of irom j is taken red hot out of the fire and baptized j in water, the heat is repelled and e i t i n -i guished by the contrary nature of w a t e r . "

It requires no learned doctor to g ive y o » the meaning of baptizo in this s en tence .— Every blacksmith will tell you that he cool a his iron by immersing it in water.

Lucian, in his Dia logue of Timon. the misanthropist, represents him as s a y i n g , — "If I should see any one floating towards me upon the rapid torrent, and he should , with outstretched arms, beseech m e to as -sist h im, I wotild thrust him from me , bap-tizing [Prnf. Stnart—'Sinking*] h im until he would rise no m o r e . " H o w supremely ridiculous to say , "sprinkling h im until h e should rise no more!"

Lucian, in one of his fabulous stories, ( which partakes largely of the marvellous,) mentions, among other wonders of a se» voyage, the discovery of a sea of milk and an island of cheese, and next a multitude of men mnning upon the water, who were

ihin the last twelve o r eighteen months, changed its name into the South-West-

His manne r is impressive, as is a lways the case with a n earnes t man ; his voice is loud and sonorous, a n d he unites the advaniages of p r e a c h m g at will, e i ther by oral or writ ten discourse. H e studied in Edinburgh , and a t tended both the l i terary and medical classes in the Uni-versity of tha t city. H e studied theology in Selkirk under Dr. Lawson, in Ed inburgh

I t w a s evident tha t the system of Ins t ruc-tion unde r which thei r s tudies h a d been di-rected, is pecuUarly fitted to discipline the mind and develope its powers, to an extent scarcely at tainable by the ordinary course of instruction.

T h e h igher classes were next called in order , and with similar success, acquit ted themselves, sustaining the reputat ion of their devoted and accomplished Teachers . They were examined in Mental and Wri t -ten Ari thmet ic by the Committee, and some of the m a n y spectators present , in a man-ner which left none to doubt as to their thorough knowledge of this branch of their s tudies as far as they had progressed.

In the Analysis of Language , a highly important branch of thorough education.

W e are happy to be able to inform our bre thren tha t the Board have succeeded in securing ihe services of Rev. S. H. Bundy, as agent to raise the endowment of the W e s t Tennessee Female Insti tute. Bro. Bundy is now in the field, and will, as rapidly as possible, visit the b re th ren in every portion of the District, and receive their subscriptions.

Though the work has been somewhat re-ta rded . in consequence of the Board not being able to secure a competent agent , they flatter themselves, and feel justified in promising their bre thren , tha t in the hands of this h ighly qualified and energetic bro-ther , our g r a n d enterpri.se will move rapid-ly forward.

Q.—You do not believe that the Eunuch was immersed. Mr. Clarke, do you agree with your friend ?

the same kind of expression is foimd. I mean Col. 2: 12. W h a t do you think of this passage, Mr . Clarke.

- C-—It al ludes " t o the immersions prac-ticed iif the case of adults, wherein the per-son appeared to be buried under the water, as Christ was buried in the hear t of the e a r t h . " Xotes, Col. 2.

W . — " The ancient manner of baptizing by immersion is manifestly al luded to in this p a s s a g e . " XoUs.

Mr. C .—Brethren , these admissions will not do at all. I have no idea tha t Pau l ever j thought about immersion in his le t ter to the Colossians. W e must be consistent. If we start out with sprinkling, let us hold on | to it at all haza rds and to the last extre-1 mi ty . " These are pei lous times, and it will not answer to give the dippers any ad-vantages.

W . — I t will not do to under take to over-throw all the learning in the world. You wish to make people believe that baptidzo never means immerse. Don ' t you know tha t there is not a respectable dictionary extant but what gives immerse as the prin-cipal and pr imary meaning of the word.

Mr. C.—1 do not ra re to go to Greek dictionaries on this subject . '• I am satis-fied with our pre.sent beautiful translation of tlie Scriptures, knowing that it teaches nu-ihiiiff hut AFKVstoN in bnptisvt, when j^roper e-\positions are g iven . " Book, p. 50.

C.—'I'd be glad to know then how you receive the Disripli„e" of our Church, for that expressly sanctions three modes of bap-tism. immersion being one of tliem ?

Mr. C.—I suppose the Discipline was made to suit the vruk brethren. . \ n d we tha t are s t rong ought to bear the intirmities of the weak.

— I t is a great ];ily you were not bet-ter versed in ii, especially that part of ii which treats o i miinners. 1 ;,m an old man, Bro. C., ami yi.u Hre a young ime, and let me tell you that what Soli.nion savs is t rue 1 " Seest thou a man that is wise in his own conceit, ihere is more hope of a fool than for h i m . "

Q .—I am sorry that I introduced the sub-ject . I t seems tha t you are not very like to agree, and for my par t I cannot have confidence in any system which is so con-tradictory. My Bible tells me there is but one bapti.sm. There is neighbor Campbell over the way ; they say he unders tands this mat ter of baptism ver\ wel l ; 1 will go over and talk with him. Good dav, ijentlemen.

I f - — T h e r e , it is, just as I anticipated. Your foolish effort, Bro. Chapman, to prove too much, has made us all fail.

C .—Pshaw, if you had let me alone and made no admissions, 1 might have con\inc-ed him. J . E.

REVIEW OF THE MARKET. TcfidssEi BAFTigr^mci, I

Na-shville, Saturday, June 14—P. M. S Corros—The Cotton market has been inactive

during the whole week. The sales have been con-fined to a few small parcels taken to fill orders. Prices, however, have been firmer than for a few weeks past, and most of the sales t£ia week have been made at $7 10 per hundred pounds. The belief begins to prevail that there will not be any further decline in the price in Liverpool—that prices there have gone as low as they can go, and may improve. .After the advices by the next steamer are received, we may be able to judge with s<mie degree of certainty of the prospects for the future.
