How thea caa those who are not ia hia chnrchfs b« ad;hcrii;i to r-^^riiE ih? orvUr.aa:<a of iboaa churches? This is CO etrsBge poeitioa I Uke. Oar Pedo fiien la themselves occupy it. If one come to them who has been bip iied m no jeay, they do not invite h:ai to preach fj- them, though they may be aasar- fri that he is a converted man. However much evi- dence he may g ve of piety, ho ia not permitted to prtach m th-:ir pulptta, 6'cqu,«» he has not bctn bap- Htcd. Why then ahould PidobaptiaU cotEpliisuf C.ar doing the very thing which they do? Wo do no: csU in qaesi luu tiitir piety—we do not wish to detra:t 'rom their usefulness; but if we invite them ia our piilpits we produce a falsa impression on their minds- They ari by that means recognized as zfspel niinisters. Xo wonder Pcdobaptists charge U3 with inconsisteacy when wa allege that nothing IS baptiim except itnmersion, and yet when we see two o.'-Tcned pcrsc-ca sit'.ing tcgethcr in our cca- .^regaiion, tho one of who a has been sprinkled, the •ither cover baptised ia any way, we ask the one who has had the few drops of water sprinkled opon Him to go with us into the pulpit, the other we say cz-thir J l,->. hy ihis dislinctioa?

It seems that the Pedoes do not feci !iny need of the great commia- aioa which Brother H- citcnda them. They desire not his sympathy. They don't want their Baptist friends to invito them into their pulpits, if by thus doing consistency is to be sacrificed.

The meeting waa organiied by electing Eld. M. M. Roberts Moderator, and J. M. Skinner Clerk. After tranncting business of minor importance, it was naaniinonsly agreed that it is ezpadlmt and ueccssary to orgaiae a new AssociatioD, at such time SB may now be appointed. Then voted that, if eight eborcbea or more meet b> organize at the time now to be appointed, it is proper to organiae a new Assodation, bat not with a less number than eight dmrchca.

Then agree apon articles of faith, cosstitation, rules of deco- rum for tha new Association, if organiitd, as fol- lows: ASTICLM o r rAtW. We, the Baptist Churches of Jesra Christ, who have been regularly baptired upon a profession of onr faith, are convinced that there are a nnmber of Baptist Churchea who differ with oi in faith and practice, and that it is impossible to have common ion where there is no union, we think it onr duty, therefore, to set (brth a concise declaration of the faith and order upon which we intend to associate, which is as follows: 'Aet. 1. We believe that there is only one true and living God, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one. 2. We believe the Scripturcs of the Old and the New Testament are the word of God, aud the only tni! rule of faith and practice- S. We believe in tho doctrine of original sin and man's impotency to recover himself from the fallen state ho is in, by nature, by hia own free will and holiness. 4. We believe In election through sar.ctiflation of tha Spirit and belief of the truth. 5. Wo believe sinners are justified in the sight of God only by the merits of Jesus Chi^st. 6. We believe that saints will persevere in grace tad not finally fall away. 7. .We believe in the resurrection of tho dead and general judgment, and that the joys of the right- eous and the punishmeat of the wicked will ba eter- nal. As for gospel order— 1. We believe that the visible Church of Christ a congregation of faithful persons, who liave gained church fellowship with cach othef; and given themselves np to tho Lord and one another, and have agreed to leep up a godly discipline according to thr rules of the gOT>el. 2. We believe that Jesus Christ is the greal Head uf the Church and only Law-giver, aad that the government is with the body, ard ia tho privil« go cf each individual, and the disciplins of the church 15 intended for the reclaiming of those CnristiRns who may be diaordtrly in priii. iple or prsrtice, and must be faithfully kept up for God'i" g'' rr acd tbo pcacf and unity of the churchcR.

Tea, brother G., I was there, and wa-i very mu.-^h mortified, indeed! Mortified! and pray, what happened brother T. that so distressed y on ? Why you know Brother G., that there ia a great ado now-a-days about baptism, and other non es- sentiala, by the Baptists. You know they are con tinnaily sotinding in the ears of our members, as well aa others, "One Lord, one Faith and one Bap- tism!" and moreover, that Jesu-s the Son qf God instituted that one baptiBm, and that it is the indis pensable duty of all believers to submit themselves joyfully to the same- They thus untireingly go on confusing and distracting the minds of our mem- bers; and this la not all; iteost daily, some one or o t h e r of onr members ia deserting onr ranks and enlisting under their banner. These facta are wit- nessed in oar v«y midst, however painful aad mor- tifying to US- What, what! brother T-, has any of oar mem- bers proved so recreant and unfaithful to their cov- enant vows with us, as to go and join "Mu sect which is every vktrt spolen against ? 0 yes! you can't imagine brother G., hew much my poor heart was pained and pierced through with many sorrows, on seeing oar good bather W., arise yesterday from his seat, and present himself as a candidate for membership in that chnrch. 0! hush, brother T., yon don't say that brother W. has left our society and joiaed the rhurch?

I suppose you we-e sur- prised jto see him leave his old chnrch. No, iSdeed, brother G., my surprise was not originated ftom that source so much, as from to receptjon into the Baptist churdi- Ahl: Md why so brother T "f "Why so! •vhrbrotlier G, yon know the Bap- tists are » self-willed, headsbong, narrow-hearted set, that are always Jetiog about questions, sudi a i b a n t o , coaaanato asd otbtf aoa-tssentiato, mrnk^mmmirnvktX '•I LABORED mora abundantly than they all."

In my former artido I ahowed that the Baptist ecsventions did much in making Pedobap tiata. This right is a usurpation. T'oo Aisodationa appoint delegates to the Con- vectioas to transact snch basines oa shall promote the interesls of the chmches of the Smts. Their authority doea not extend to the inviting of any one to a seat; for thcss who are delegates take scats by virtue of their appointment, and not by invitation. It is expedient aad courteous to invite Baptist min- isters to seat^ and it might be admissable to invite wise and good brethren who are not mimstera, bat this I believe is never done. The right to invite Pedobaptists to scats ia onr conventions is deniid since the associations have no suchright to delegate away. The expedienay, to say the least of invi- ting Pedobaptists, is questjonable. It is hardly Hkely that the o:>ponent8 of Baptists wculd war against them on all other oceasioag, un- til the assembling of some convention, and then suddenly change their policy into that of good coun- sellors. Ko, if they exeroige the right to seats, of courfe they might exercise the farther right of de- bate; being opposed to the spread of Baptist views they would have a favorable opportunity of sowing the aeeda of discord into the Baptist churches. No brethren would be so far wanting in courtesy, as to oppose the views of a Pedobaptist, after inviting him to give them. Baptist conventions should not bear any part in making Pedobaptist; because the right to do to is not granlod, and it ia not proper Sime associations aid greatly in promoting Pedoism without authority. This is done mainly by mvi ting our opponents to seats. Here ia clearly anoth er aLEumption of power. Tha churchea do not in Tito Pedobaptist to soataia their conferences, there- by showii.g ia their sovereign capacity t'aat they do aot regard tho assistance of Pedobaptists necessary^ aad for this reason do not invite them, and 'he righ is withheld from the delegates of tha tsaDciationf 10 ;io it. Tho delegate that votea in the aEsocia- tiona to invite Pedoes to seats transcends bis su±or- itj. If the whole association Ehoald, tner ori;an!0 tion ia hod, invite Pedoea to seats, it would be but a wboleiala violation of church authority, tad ia a ccrreRpOEding degree, aid in making Pedoea, the work the churchea have not authorized, therefore it should not be done. Churchea aid ia tiiia work, in vio'.ation of S:aipturo authority. None are gospel churches, except such organizations as aro formed according to the New Testament rule; aad«nch as practice ecccrding to the laws of Chriat and his .Apostles. If Baptist chnrchcs are really gospel chtircbes, they are so becansa Christ haa made them £0, and are known of men to be such because they do ^ e commandmenu ef God. When they admit any other orgaaiiation to be a church of Christ, thay assumo to themselves the authority to do what Christ aad his Apostlea did not: for they called nothing chureh bat what wa.s cctitlvd to be called so, having observed all things wba'^sv avtr the Savior commanded; leaving out noth- ing aad substituting nothing as a matter of conve- nience. So far, thea, as the admission by Baptist cb'.:rches, that Pedo-baptist societies arc chnrchcs of CTirist, can aid in making Pedoes, that far do licy violato chnrch authority—a sin no charch fihoalJ commit. If il cannot bo proven that churchca have the right to resist Christ's laws, it ia clear they have no ht to aid in making Pedobaptists. Individual members have co right to aid in this woik, because that would be violation ia this matt«r, on tho part of a church, would be also cn the part cf ono mem- ber; hence, churches in the aggregate end integral capacity, should prayerfully consider their ways, lest they ia pursuit of mifguidcd charity shall do that thing liiey have do right to do. Shall it be .siid thut Baptist preachers have the right to make Pcd jbaptist.'*? Certainly not. Their daty is clear ly laid down. If. therefore, ia performing thai du- ty, they depart (md fo preach, or otherwise act. a-a to promote the growth of Pcdofciptist sodclics, dors ho col eUo usurp authority? All Baptists will agree with me that there is no doctrice m the New Testament among all the law, and pai ta of laws, ena.: td by the Suvior and hia Apostle.^, that an- thcrizes Uaptisl precchers to teach spriiAling pc.ar ng or alTuEion; for baptism, or infants or uncnnvtr- tcd adulte as subjerts of baptism. Hence, the Bap- tist prtacbtr who ia any way promotes tbeKo dog- mas, violates the laws of Christ, a right that dtrs cot bt.lj3j to hi3. LOOSEil-aK. Greenville, Ga.

the EsraM of tha 2ith inst., " J . M. H o f "tonisi," gives m hia opini(m of those Baptist •rtmi he designatea "High Church Bap'ists." ptiposa briefly noticing irhat he » j 3 of this class < a y brethren.

L His fir^ argument against the position assam tfcose who do not r?gard Pedobapu'st preach

^ Pedohiptist preachers being gospel miristcrs? We "^Sufly liiKi that they do mnch, Tery much, for the "'-•i»iattinent of Christ's cause. So do many Qua-

tea, naoy Bonum Catholics, even many avowcdh ""i*! men have done much-for the promotion cf tJ* fedeemer'a fcingdom- Most we take the Quv ksy tha CaAolic, the man of no profission in our ^ I p t ^ amply because ther have done and are do-

dl "J. M. H." would say, "O they are not in

are "too gna t errori^ts." " Will tea US what l i ia to be in a church? Hit.

of a Chriatian Church is indeed very IMtr. Says ha, it "ia an assembly of th-^so who

•» i^'l 'nstq'jeaia Christ, kanwn by their havins his ' Ha pves us a church without an crdi - - J * ^ - '-asembly of those who belong to

C M *f!iinii H m ^ ^ M i t e n f t . *

la proof of this, I m'ght cito volunies of testimony from Fedcbaptist diviaes. But ws win refer only to Dr. Griffla, the President of Williams' College.

h», "S*pii£m is the initiatorr ordinance which in;ro<l'iet!3 us into the viiiblo church; of course, wb=ra there ia no biptiam, there are no visible chcrches; if nothing but immcrsicn is baptism there

ro visible church except the Baptist" The qaes-lioa then to Iw decided, p not whether Pedoea are useful, but are tUer b.%ptiied? Il not, then they them elves abondoa all cl.-.im to be considered goa-pel churches. Dr. Gr.ffin and other P^dohaptist l i t e r s briag the whole matter in thU norrow com-pass—'-w'aether bartism by sprinkUng is valid bap-liira.'' Does Brother H. consider sprinkUng or pouring bapiisml Thea he ia consiatant ia demand-ing that Pcdabaptist sociitjcs be regarded as gogpel churches. But, if nothing is boptisa but immer-sicti. 'then there ia no visible church except among the Bsp'iau," D;-. G.-iiEa and the Pedobaptist world iH-i ig jud^ej. Sincc Pecobapiists have co churches, whcuci; do th y derue thvir sathority to preach'— Has not Chriat eatrusted this to hia churches? How thea caa those who are not ia hia chnrchfs b« ad;hcri i ; i to r-^^riiE ih? orvUr.aa:<a of iboaa churches?

This is CO etrsBge poeitioa I Uke. Oar Pedo fiien la themselves occupy it. If one come to them who has been bip iied m no jeay, they do not invite h:ai to preach f j - them, though they may be aasar-fri that he is a converted man. However much evi-dence he may g ve of piety, ho ia not permitted to prtach m th-:ir pulptta, 6'cqu,«» he has not bctn bap-Htcd. Why then ahould PidobaptiaU cotEpliisuf C.ar doing the very thing which they do? Wo do no: csU in qaesi luu tiitir piety—we do not wish to detra:t 'rom their usefulness; but if we invite them ia our piilpits we produce a falsa impression on their minds- They ari by that means recognized as zfspel niinisters. Xo wonder Pcdobaptists charge U3 with inconsisteacy when wa allege that nothing IS baptiim except itnmersion, and yet when we see two o.'-Tcned pcrsc-ca sit'.ing tcgethcr in our cca-.^regaiion, tho one of who a has been sprinkled, the •ither cover baptised ia any way, we ask the one who has had the few drops of water sprinkled opon Him to go with us into the pulpit, the other we say cz-thir J l,->. hy ihis dislinctioa? The Pcdobap-li.'t. after Likii.g his seat ia tho pulpit, begins to rciscn thus—"why am I invited up here, and the jthtr Irfc bihind? All tha rtiOlrence between us is, hat I have b-tu sprinkled aud tay friend not—

-nrtly, after all these Baptists have mora fellow-•ihip with sprinkling than they have the credit cf. If I atn a g-ispel minister, end in a Rospel church,

this B-ptist brother says fby his inviting mo into hi' pr.lpit] that I am; then I don't see why he may not also invito me to the Lord's table with him— -arcl.v. if I am fit for the pulpit, I am Tjr tho ta-b> " Thus n ason? the Pedo. Where ia the falla-•7 -3 hia argamcn;? Will '-J. M. O." expose it? I beg, 'h i t , aa ho believes ia rcstiictcdcommunioa, h- vrJ!

2. Biit J M. a . ' ' ihirksthat b r a c i n g thus to-'•ard '.'Sca^ ir'no dillrr f.-om us we show a di.' posi-' ioa to dsl.'-ac: fr'im theT usefulness. By no mcan.!-We rfjiice ia all the good they efTest Doe-i the Methodist weep becaiac God bleasra the labors of the Q is.!:er? And yet the former does not think p-op.:r to invite tha latter into his pulpit. So do we fcles-s Gcd foraH the good PedobaptiEts hivo ever efTecicI, but it trculd bo a poor way of maaifsjtin; nar-jTilitc-.'a to them to pursne such a ccnrra of .-oc'liicl M to prodaoi a false impreasion upon their n.iadj: nuai- 's them to belisva all is right, whon we k r o - th-?y hav'at o'oeyed the first commaad ob-liiatvrr npon the "oelisver. Bat how do Pcdobap-r,5U rejsrd th«e ' bigh church Baptists?" Are tbtv 23 oiuch horriacd at them as my good f i i sn j •J'm II 1 ' Says Dr. Uill, a distiagaiahed Pres-

bytciaa editor, - it ia tho legitimate carrying out of Baptist prin iples as understand them." Thea D.-. n.ll tad his Pc-u > brelhrta can reproch us sinco, la r.c-. c;a=id':ring theirs gospel chnrchcs, wo aro .:n!y • carryics out Baptist principles," as they ihemsdvea -understand them." It seems that the Pedoes do not feci !iny need of the great commia-aioa which Brother H- citcnda them. They desire not his sympathy. They don't want their Baptist friends to invito them into their pulpits, if by thus doing consistency is to be sacrificed.

Bat even if it ghould excitc their haired—shonld i cat2S3 tho wcrld to despise them and even put

ihem to death—even thfln if truth and consistency call upon mc to pursue the course, God being my

elpcr, I wonld fullow it joyfully. When have Btptiita ever flinched from carrying out their pria-opI«: becansB of odium or tho stake itself? "If oar pfop'.o are rot yet familiarized to odium, thay ought to he; for the very day Paul was taken a p-iioner to P,omo rur scct was everywhrn! »poken Rsainst." Tbfre has been time enough and oppor-itni y enough fnim then till co-w t.> Icara to bear

odium particularly. We sec tha law of adaptati'On ail arouad ua. Light is adapted to tho eye-sound 0 tha car—birds to the sir—fisbea to the water—

and Esptisfs to odicm. Thcrs is no cause of com-plaint.

3. Thire is but ono more claujs in "J- M. H.'s" commnnicaiion which I propo.^9 noticing. "Much precions time is wasted to prove to one cornmonity that their^i-s a most tyiaanical form of government. Por.r .TOffsrcrs! who have been ground by the ma-chinery of thetr govemment. without fin-iing it out till th?y saw themselves in the picture drawn by accr-»air. skillful wheelrght." No one needs bojmformed that ITI the above paragraph the Great Iwij Wheel, b7 J E Graves, is alluded to. Has Brother II. read that book? ' I think cot. Why, then, aUude to it in such a manner? If he will show ens mis-representaunn m the wheel ho will do what thou-.ca-ids hsve tried in vain. The correctness of its positions aru unquestionable.

Tf ' J >1. n . 'a ' ' wish is to do his Pedo friends a favor be had better detect some error, than to in-sinuate that it is a fabrication! We do not care to defend the Wheel—it nerds not onr fecblo defense. But we do say to car friend, read it, and then ex-posa it, if you can. I t challecges inveatigation.

The rnlv'apology we have for thU notice of "J-M. n . " L5,'that we believe such fine abiUtiesas'those possessed by him should not be turned against the trtith. I hope he may r2-examine his positions on

high churchism among the Baptists," and abandon them. o-

I t was asreed that when we orgtnito that we or-ganfae npon tho Missionaiy principle—to beoome a member of some Missionary body or Convention— then appointed to meet on Thursday before the first Sabbath in October, 185®, at this place (Black Mountain Camp-ground)—to meet in coojunction with the camp-meeting here in 1856. Then agree apon articles of faith, cosstitation, rules of deco-rum for tha new Association, if organiitd, as fol-lows:

ASTICLM or rAtW. We, the Baptist Churches of Jesra Christ, who

have been regularly baptired upon a profession of onr faith, are convinced that there are a nnmber of Baptist Churchea who differ with o i in faith and practice, and that it is impossible to have common ion where there is no union, we think it onr duty, therefore, to set (brth a concise declaration of the faith and order upon which we intend to associate, which is as follows:

'Aet. 1. We believe that there is only one true and living God, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one.

2. We believe the Scripturcs of the Old and the New Testament are the word of God, aud the only tn i ! rule of faith and practice-

S. We believe in tho doctrine of original sin and man's impotency to recover himself from the fallen state ho is in, by nature, by hia own free will and holiness.

4. We believe In election through sar.ctiflation of tha Spirit and belief of the truth.

5. Wo believe sinners are justified in the sight of God only by the merits of Jesus Chi^st.

6. We believe that saints will persevere in grace tad not finally fall away.

7. .We believe in the resurrection of tho dead and general judgment, and that the joys of the right-eous and the punishmeat of the wicked will ba eter-nal.

As for gospel order— 1. We believe that the visible Church of Christ a congregation of faithful persons, who liave

gained church fellowship with cach othef; and given themselves np to tho Lord and one another, and have agreed to leep up a godly discipline according to thr rules of the gOT>el.

2. We believe that Jesus Christ is the greal Head uf the Church and only Law-giver, aad that the government is with the body, ard ia tho privil« go cf each individual, and the disciplins of the church 15 intended for the reclaiming of those CnristiRns who may be diaordtrly in priii. iple or prsrtice, and must be faithfully kept up for God'i" g'' rr acd tbo pcacf and unity of the churchcR.

4. Wo brlicvo that none have'a right to admin-ister the ordinances but ministcrrof the goapel, rcg ularly o-dained to that ofiioe.

5. Wc believe that none but Chose regularly bap' tizcd havo a right to partidpate in the Lnrd'a sup per.

For U'lk of iipacs, I emit to give a detail of the constitution and rules of decoiimi; they are about tho same aa ia u^nial in Misraoaary Baptist Associa-tions; and a« there haa been co name pablicly pro-posed for tha new orstiniiatioa, the Clerk would take this opportunity to sugzpst to those concerned that the body, if organiied. be conetitutcd npon the nimo cf the "Judson Baptist Association."

There arc but two peculiar characteristics of a Baptist in his faith, neither of which he consistent-ly practiced. He believed in common with Baptists, that iinmsrsion was tho apostolical baptism, but did he practice it.' He taught that the Bible alone was a sufficient rule of faith and practice. Bat did he cany oat hiaerccd? Luther was no Baptist. If the belief and prac ico of immersion be all that it takes to make ore a Baptist, then are CaropbclUtes Baptists—aad even Mormons, and a great many Methodists and Presbyterians, aro Baptists.

Perhapa they may, brother G., for it doea seem to me, that there would be as mnch consisteucy on their part in inviting our ministtrs to their churches tn baptize for them aa there iiin baptising for them in our Eocielifg.

I cannot m-o why they could am, with the s-ime propriety invite us to baptize with, and for th^m, at their own ohurohea, as well as 10 receive the bap tism administered by us at homo—and again, if they can receive our members and thiir baptism into their churches, and then set down and com-mune with us, why not commune with ua before we SO to them, as they require nothing of ua but to c-jme.

l o n r brother in Chriutj

Good taoraing brother T-, was you Baptist meeting yesterday ?

Tea, brother G., I was there, and wa-i very mu.- h mortified, indeed!

Mortified! and pray, what happened brother T. that so distressed y on ?

Why you know Brother G., that there ia a great ado now-a-days about baptism, and other non es-sentiala, by the Baptists. You know they are con tinnaily sotinding in the ears of our members, as well aa others, "One Lord, one Faith and one Bap-tism!" and moreover, that Jesu-s the Son qf God instituted that one baptiBm, and that it is the indis pensable duty of all believers to submit themselves joyfully to the same- They thus untireingly go on confusing and distracting the minds of our mem-bers; and this la not all; i teost daily, some one or o t h e r of onr members ia deserting onr ranks and enlisting under their banner. These facta are wit-nessed in oar v « y midst, however painful aad mor-tifying to US-

What, what! brother T-, has any of oar mem-bers proved so recreant and unfaithful to their cov-enant vows with us, as to go and join "Mu sect which is every vktrt spolen against ?

0 yes! you can't imagine brother G., hew much my poor heart was pained and pierced through with many sorrows, on seeing oar good bather W., arise yesterday from his seat, and present himself as a candidate for membership in that chnrch.

0! hush, brother T., yon don't say that brother W. has left our society and joiaed the rhurch?

Yes, brother G., it is too true—painfiilly tree— and I was much surpriaed, I confess.

Surprised, brother T.I and pray, teU ma why yoo were bo mach sniprised? I suppose you we-e sur-prised jto see him leave his old chnrch.

No, iSdeed, brother G., my surprise was not originated ftom that source so much, as from to receptjon into the Baptist churdi-

have no right, as such, except those derived from tho Bible, the magna charta of all their right and privileges. In my former artido I ahowed that the Baptist ecsventions did much in making Pedobap tiata. This right is a usurpation.

T'oo Aisodationa appoint delegates to the Con-vectioas to transact snch basines oa shall promote the interesls of the chmches of the S m t s . Their authority doea not extend to the inviting of any one to a seat; for thcss who are delegates take scats by virtue of their appointment, and not by invitation. It is expedient aad courteous to invite Baptist min-isters to seat^ and it might be admissable to invite wise and good brethren who are not mimstera, bat this I believe is never done. The right to invite Pedobaptists to scats ia onr conventions is deniid since the associations have no suchright to delegate away. The expedienay, to say the least of invi-ting Pedobaptists, is questjonable.

It is hardly Hkely that the o:>ponent8 of Baptists wculd war against them on all other oceasioag, un-til the assembling of some convention, and then suddenly change their policy into that of good coun-sellors. Ko, if they exeroige the right to seats, of courfe they might exercise the farther right of de-bate; being opposed to the spread of Baptist views they would have a favorable opportunity of sowing the aeeda of discord into the Baptist churches. No brethren would be so far wanting in courtesy, as to oppose the views of a Pedobaptist, after inviting him to give them. Baptist conventions should not bear any part in making Pedobaptist; because the right to do to is not granlod, and it ia not proper Sime associations aid greatly in promoting Pedoism without authority. This is done mainly by mvi ting our opponents to seats. Here ia clearly anoth er aLEumption of power. Tha churchea do not in Tito Pedobaptist to soataia their conferences, there-by showii.g ia their sovereign capacity t'aat they do aot regard tho assistance of Pedobaptists necessary^ aad for this reason do not invite them, and 'he righ is withheld from the delegates of tha tsaDciationf 10 ;io it. Tho delegate that votea in the aEsocia-tiona to invite Pedoes to seats transcends bis su±or-i t j .

If the whole association Ehoald, tner ori ;an!0 tion ia hod, invite Pedoea to seats, it would be but a wboleiala violation of church authority, t ad ia a ccrreRpOEding degree, aid in making Pedoea, the work the churchea have not authorized, therefore it should not be done. Churchea aid ia tiiia work, in vio'.ation of S:aipturo authority. None are gospel churches, except such organizations as aro formed according to the New Testament rule; aad«nch as practice ecccrding to the laws of Chriat and his .Apostles. If Baptist chnrchcs are really gospel chtircbes, they are so becansa Christ haa made them £0, and are known of men to be such because they do ^ e commandmenu ef God.

When they admit any other orgaaiiation to be a church of Christ, thay assumo to themselves the authority to do what Christ aad his Apostlea did not: for they called nothing chureh bat what wa.s cctitlvd to be called so, having observed all things wba' sv avtr the Savior commanded; leaving out noth-ing aad substituting nothing as a matter of conve-nience. So far, thea, as the admission by Baptist cb'.:rches, that Pedo-baptist societies arc chnrchcs of CTirist, can aid in making Pedoes, that far do licy violato chnrch authority—a sin no charch

fihoalJ commit.

If il cannot bo proven that churchca have the right to resist Christ's laws, it ia clear they have no

ht to aid in making Pedobaptists. Individual members have co right to aid in this woik, because that would be violation ia this matt«r, on tho part of a church, would be also cn the part cf ono mem-ber; hence, churches in the aggregate end integral capacity, should prayerfully consider their ways, lest they ia pursuit of mifguidcd charity shall do that thing liiey have do right to do. Shall it be .siid thut Baptist preachers have the right to make Pcd jbaptist.'*? Certainly not. Their daty is clear ly laid down. If. therefore, ia performing thai du-ty, they depart (md fo preach, or otherwise act. a-a to promote the growth of Pcdofciptist sodclics, dors ho col eUo usurp authority? All Baptists will agree with me that there is no doctrice m the New Testament among all the law, and pai ta of laws, ena.: td by the Suvior and hia Apostle.^, that an-thcrizes Uaptisl precchers to teach spriiAling pc.ar ng or alTuEion; for baptism, or infants or uncnnvtr-

tcd adulte as subjerts of baptism. Hence, the Bap-tist prtacbtr who ia any way promotes tbeKo dog-mas, violates the laws of Christ, a right that dtrs cot bt.lj3j to hi3. LOOSEil-aK.

A Word OS Eijcnos.—One or tha other posi-tion must be taken: either God chooses the sinner, orthe sinner chooses God. No Baxterian middle ground. If you prefer that God choowa the sinneTj then when did he choose him? He choae lam in bis purpose in eternity. And that choice is as old as Jehovah, for he can hav2 ro after thought or pnr-pose. The eternal election of the anntr 'o salva-tion, is, however, manifested in time, when he believes in Christ. And that disposition to repent and believe in Christ ia the work of the Spirit. Then truly, "by grace are ye aived." Boasting is excluded by thc.eteraal law of ele.-tion, and the law of faith wmnght in the heart by the Spirit of God. Uy soul how to jhis! "It is the Lord."

We allow the Editor of the New York Examiner to iifjrm us how things are gr.ing in the North: ^

The city of New York and its v!:inity have in-rci^cd in population vriUiin the last five years, i"

an er.'.ent that has surprised all c'a-ises of men.— Ytft the- number of communicants in the Baptist churches of New York and its subur'ns in 1855, is less than i' was in 1S50. Death, discipline, and removal, have taken larger numbers cut of the rhurches than h i - been brc^ight inio them by let-ter, restoration nnd baptism—au.l that tw', whi e the population has bfcn increasipgby tens of thou-san'is from yeir to year.

Salvation Nezicclfd.

Ws do not need to r,jec' t'.io gospel, to insure our condemnation: we have only t.> nrglect it. We have but to leave things to take their natural course, arid the end of them is sure to be death. We are like men g'iding down a dark and rapid river, and Hearing a fall. We need make no exertion, pull no oar, spread no sad. We have but to fold our hands and sit still, and the drift of the stream is qmte enough. We may amtisc ourselves with the varied scenery of the country as we pass down, if We can master coolness, or indifference snSicient. The roar of the fall may not even be permitted todi.sturb our false and &ndcd security. The iaah and the rapid plange vrill speedily awaken u,s from our dream, if nothing else will.

Or we are as men in a house where the fire is raging. There we need do nothing to insure de-struction. Tha fire gathers strength rapidly. It •will soon reach us. Ic knows no fear; heeds no outcries, feels no pity.

Or, what is more like our case, we are as a man who has swallowed poison. He has to do no more, to take no other steps. He has only to neglcct the remedy far a few days, and the p .ison works its own way. It loses no time; never flags in its fell work.

DEIIOCEACT OF THE BIDLK-'-Christianity, avoiding anarchy on the one hand

and despotism on the other, sets the race on a path of unlimited advancement. It pronounces all men equal. In express terms, tha Christian revelation declares all nations of the earth to be of one blood: it pronounces all men equally the subjects of one Kinj; it makes the value of a soul iufinite, and shows no difference between the worth of that of a bogpar and that of a prince. Look into the stable at Bethlehem, on that night when cr.-wned sage and bumble shepherd knelt by the cradle of that babe who was their common King; do you not see, in th.it spectacle, the bond of an cssentiil equality uniting all ranks, and making the regal purple and t'l e peasants' russet faint and temporary distinc-ticns? Well might Coleridge say, that the fairest flower he ever saw climbing round a poor man's window, was not so beautiful in his eyes as the Bible which he saw lying within. If all classes forsook the gospel, one might expect the poor, the hard-toiling, the de.spised, to cl-ng to i t Whatever Christianity may have become in our churches and in our times, the great class of the workers can find in its aspects no excuse for abandoning itself, un less they can show that the churches have rewrit-ten the Bible; u n l ^ they can allege that it no long er exhibits the divine foundir of Christianity preach-ing to the poor, companying with publicans and sinners; unless they cm show that it was the sanc-tioned usage of apostolic times to honor the rich in the Christian assemblage; unless, in ona word, they can deny that the gospel holds forth to every man the prospect of being a kmg and priest to God."

It never lost; a victim on whom its deadly fangs were once fasten-ed—unless when the OXB nsiiEDr for sin was ap-plied. There is but one remedy for this disease— but one antidote for this poison, but nnc way of et; cape from this destructivo power. We cannot es-cape by sitting still. Neglect ia as sura to bring destruction, as if wo were rushing on to meet it.— It is ocly a question of time. If we do not settle the ques'Jon, it is daily settling itself. The final solution of it cannot be far removed. Once settled jt ia settled forever. There is no mercy beyond the grave. There is no pardon in the world of spirits. The grave is the dividing line between mercy and judgment. It is now, or never—nore, or never.

SFTCQ Good Reasona.

A. P. Methodist gives the following seven good reasons why he is not an Episcopal Methodist

1. I am not an Episcopal Methodist because the politv- of the church is anti-republican.

2. I am not an Episcopal Methodist, because the laity and loi-al ministry of the church have no voice nor representation in the department in which rules are made for the-ir government.

!. I am not an Episcopal Methodi.st, because the hity of the church have no right, as such, according to discipline, to nominate, vote for, appoint or elect tbo ofiicers of the church.

4. I am not an Epi^pal Methodist, because the whole of the government of the church, the legis-lative, judicial, and executive departments Are in the hands of the itinerant ministry, alone, and all history goes to prove that the minister may abuse power.

5. I am not an Episcopal Methodist, because am in principle a republican in State, and if con sistent, must be also, as a matter of course, a re-publican in church.

6. I am not an Episcopal Methodist, because the polity of the government in its proscription of the laity from any voice or weight in governmental af-fairs of the church, is not sustamed by the spirit, genius, or precepts of the New Testament

7. I am not an Episcopal Methodist, because the government of the church is aristocratic, in the hands of a privileged class, while the government of the State is republican, and controlled by the people.

Morrvus TO H<'LE>BSS.—A man who has been re-deemed by t -e blood of the Son of God should be p'lre. He who is an heir of life should be holy He who is attended by the celestial beings, and who is soon—he knows i|Dt how soon—to be translated to heaven, should be holy. Are Angels my attend-ants? Then I should vy&Ik worthy of their com-panionship. Am I soon to go and dwell with An-! gelsT Then I should be pure. Are these feet soon to tread the court of heaven? Is this tongue soon to unite with heavenly beings in praising God' Are these eyes of mine soon to look on the throne of eternal glory, and on the ascended Redeemer? Then these feet and eyes and lips should be pure andholy; and I should be dead to the world and live for heaven.—Albert Barnes.

aaOOKJ-TN SCHOOLS. Having submitted "Stoddard's Intellectual Arith

metic" to the practical test of the sch-xjl-room, we have no hesitation in expressing a strong preference for it over all text-books on the subject The au thor has taken a decided step in advance of those who have preceded him; and his Ubors are likely to do much towards popularizing a study, the impor tance of which as a mental discipline can hardly be over-estimated. The works formerly in use, were deficient of systematic arrangement, were neither gradual enough in their transitions, nor sufBciently comprehensive and varied as regards their exam-ples. Stoddard's on the Qther hand, is an eminent-ly practical book; philosophical iii its arrangement, natural and lucid in i-.s analysis, original in its de-sign, adapted at the commencement to the compre-hension of beginners and carrying the pupil by easy inductive steps through the most complicated ope-rations: it seems invulnerable to criticism and leaves little or nothing to be acoomplished by future au-thors on this subject Tha examples are numer ous and varied, embracing ail cases likely to arise in business; and there are not less than fifty pages of questions capable of Algebraic solution. The chapters on Percentage, Interest and Discount, are worthy of special commendation. In these the au th^has aL entirely original plan, which enables the pupil to solve mentally, with perfect ease, ques-tions which, without this drilling, few are able to manage even on the slate.

In view of these striking and excellent features, we warmly commend Professor Stoddard's work to all who are interested in the education of youth,

(CONCLUDKD.)

"U.VITT is Strength," is a trueism; but it does not follow that all the members of a community are united in a self-created dominant head. The oppo-site may ba true, and I apprehend often is, that aU the govem-d arc opposed to tbe despotism tha t rales tEem." The sayiiigis onlynrue'when'it is fiRrnf— when all the parts involved are united in one plan, one aim, and one end. I am a staunch advecate for such a union of Baptist Churchcs, in the great wotk <>f Bi»ii«.-4haWord4jf -Li£e to-a.-Siu-ruinEd world. Without such a union, our labor will be ic a great measure inefficient and fruitless; b-at no such unity of church acUon has ever been emiodied j ^ ' ^ ^^ co:i:ii.oa

our present mode of Conventional operations: ^ ^ ^ mcetint'- --"d n'-'f and 1 apprehend never will be, upon the present plan; and, for ihe omnipotent reason, that the Churehes are cJed upon by the Convention, through . ^ Boards, while, a-i Churches, they do imt net a! a'l, and therefore, have no responsibihiy in the success

the work. If the Ch-arcbes arc ever made in-terested and activo in benevolent labors, it must be done by making them responsible for a certain por* tion of the work lo bo done.

Moreover, I am jealous of the power of ccncen-Iratcd bodies of Republican Agents, even, when esteJ with the power of self-control. A system of

Uepubliiim centralism, borders very neariy on iiicip lent despotism; and an awkward body, an impulsive body, or an ambitious and aspiring body, can easily s/iirger, or ba poshed, or stride out of one inio the other. I have more than once witnessed the exer-cise of distinct ecclesiastical pow-rs, by Associa-tions and Conventions. Hence I favor the idea of bringing" lliese bodies into as close a contact with tlie Churches, as it is possible they can be, so as to preserve their efliciency, not as rules, but as agents of the Churches, in the several departments of our great work of ciring the gospel to all men.

I favor, therefore, a system of Independent Mis-sions, upon the following basis and plan;

In every case where an individual church is able to sus ain a Mi-ssiouarv- cither in the Uome or For-eign field, such church should have the right to se-lect Ihtir missionary or missionaries, as the case may bo, and U-como respousitdc for his or their su;> [Kjrt Where iudiridual churches are not able to support a Missionary, and to sustain a Colporteur to distribute the Scriptures and our b-3oks in its bounds, let two or more churches (the fewer the better) unite, and select a Missionary, as above, and appoint their Colporteur, and become responsible for their support. If it be mo.-e convenient, let a dis-trict Association dcerminc how many Home and Foreign Missionai ies, and Colporteurs, the churches composing it, can support; each church pledgini; il'elf for a specified sum, paid quarterly in advance; and when the arrangement is fairly adjusted among the several Churches composing the xVssocia'ion, let it select the Foreign and Home Mi-ssionaries whom tbey mean to support, and appoint their Colporteur to labor in their district—the churches being n.-

I ,'i for the funds plcdg-;-d. This system would, iu a few years, bring all the lining churches in'o a lion; wi'li a grow-ing increase of their zeal and UberaUtj; because, thus brought into contact with the n\irk of benevolence, and made respon'^ible for a siwcttlc portion of it.

Let these C'.iurchcs K- cn'itled to a representa-tion. in proportion to the sums of miney annually paid to the several objec'.s under the supervLsii;n of • that body. Let the appropriate Board of each de-partment. be the corresponding and fiscal .Vgent of :ill lliiSO <"hurcli.-s and A.ssociations; so lliat all funds to the Missionary of the primary body should be remitted ihrougli the Convention's Board, e-.ther Foreign or Domestio, as Uie case might be. Let it be ihe duty of the Secretary of tbo Board to send a copv of all communications from the Missionary to tbe Church or .\s.s.ociat:on, by whom tho Mis.sioD-ary is supp')rted, so as to keep up a cms'-aat inter-course between the Missionary and the body sus lair.ing him. This will increase the interest cf the contributors in the Missionary and bis wor'i: by en-larging their acviuaintance with the nature and im-portance of the work, in which they are cngagefl. This plan would promote, not only the interest and activity of the Ciiurchcs in our benevolent opera-tions. but it would also promote ihc confi-ience of the Churches and the Boards in each other; while it would lead to relieve the Boards of their princi-pal trouble, aAd dispense entirely with the labor and expense of agen^A

Though I have expressed myself as opposed to a system of centralism, as tending to theocratic des-potism; still I am decidedly opposed to such an in-dependence in these primary bodies, as results in disunion. Co-operatwn and concert of plan and ac-tion, are as indispensable to success as it is that our Churches and their members should ba interested in the work and feel an adequate responsibibty for .heir proportion of it. To point out all the bad ef-fects of such a .system of individuality and disso-ciation, on the part of the Churches, would require much more space than I can appropriate to the sub-ject in a short article like this. Every reflecting, practical mind, however, will at once see that such a dissociated (not to say antagonistic) and fragmen-tory action, co'dld never meat the wants of our ruin-ed world.

I know that our Boards are greatly embarrassed, in their several departments, for want of funds; and I know that the Churches are perfectly able to sup-ply ten times the amount of money, paid annually, to all the Boards of the Soulbem Convention; and the Agents and Boards think strange that the mon-ey is not s.nt up, in answer to their earnest appeals. But I am sure that it never will be so sent up, until the Churches are made, individually, responsible for an appr^riate part of the work.

I know, too, that many individuals and churches are jealous of the tendency of Conventions, as now organized, to interfere with the independence of the Churchcs: hence many of our churches remain in-active, and, of late, some are setting up indepen-dently as Churches and Associations, to carry on the missionary work: thus dividing, and, conse-quently, weakening the ability of the denomination in council, men and funds, to carry on the great work of evangelizing the world.

I can but think that the plan of operation herein suggested, would obviate all our difSculties, and promote union and co-operation among all our churches. I therefore respectftilly suggest to the feveral Boards, that their agents be instructed to crganize the Churches and Associations upon the plan suggested, as fast as possible. I hold it to be just and suitable, that, if a Church or Association makes itself responsible for the support of a Mis sionary, either at home or abroad, the right to select the Missionary is due them; and it would be tyran nical to withhold it from them. They can either select from those already in the field, or appoint a new one.

I recommend to all those Churches and Associa-tions, that have commenced a system of indepen dent Missionary labor, to conform their operations to the plan here suggested; and, while they act in-dependaitly in collecting their funds and appointing their Missionary, they still act co-operatively and in concert with the respective Boards of the Con vention; consulting and advising with them in all matters pertaining to their respective missions: be-cause these Boards are much better acquainted with the whole field than any Church or Association can be. • I respectfully submit these suggestions to all con

[Ty" We received some lime since a c:py of - As-pirations." from the Publishers. Mes-rs. Sht-ldon. Lamport & Co , which we hancle.d to a female friend whom we considered a fir belter j';dge t'ciin ourself of such works- and here is her reply

I was first impressed with the cas-j and delic-cj with which she gives erprcssioii t-- foe cmotiocji of the human heart—woman's heart ;,irticularly. and shows, lOO, her familiarity with those loftier aspira-tions of tho soul which enable us, at limes, to tread the earth beneath our f -et in the truest sense.

I think some of her characters are overdrawn, particularly that of Edith, but if it was her design, as is evident, to show the inadequacy of all earth's best gifts combined—superior natural endowments —both of mind and b->dy, with all the advint.iges and fostering influences with which they could po.5-sibly ba surrounded for their pcrf,:ct development, even the deepest and purest love which may i-voa bless a mortal—to satisfv the cravings of the immor-tal soul, she has, I think, well succeeded.

She has given us, too, an c-\ampie of the power of faith amidst adverse circumstances, a£ displayed in the life and death of Miss Nazeltine cr Mrs Ma-son, as she becomes, which should leid every soul to believe and trust the guidance of r.':.". ^^ - i which

what the Domestic :Ml=si(,n Board bama, is dsta;;.

al >I,trion, Alr.-

The Board at the (October meeting made /our ippointments; at the November meeting nve : at the the December meeting eight, and at tha last meet-ing in January, seven: ttrenty-four in all. The quarter that ended on the 31st of December. Itt-iio. has relieved the treasury of most of its funds, so that as yet there is a dilHculty to see how the quar-ter to end the 31st of next month is to be met.— This is always the most difficult requisition to meet from the fact that no Associatiotis are held between the 1st of January and the 1st of April. But we should not set aside the various applications, to tbo Board, as they are by such respectable recommen-dations. We have spread the sails of our Domestic ship, and rely on liberal touls -'to raise the wind'" for them.

DEAH BROTHER:—Have you noticed a series of articles in the Southern Methodist Quarterly Review, under the caption of "Philosophy of Metkodist Itin. e r a c y T h e author, Mr. W. A. McSwain, of South Carolina, writes in the January number of the pres-ent year an article some eight or ten pages long.— The ostensible design, the commendation of the Jlethndist ii intrating plan, but the real design is to answtr the IIOQ WhecL In descanting on the ben. elils rtsuliing from the frequent changing of the Iccaaon of ministers, he says, on page 121, "Money will purchase talents, and this is true in the church as well out of it." On page 127, McSwain admits that ' when a man attaches himself to any of onr co-.ifen-nces, he relinquishes his right to choose his C« U of labor." "Af nuray hi' personal freedom," and p:-ay wtiat n-.ore docs the Jesuit, when he be-comes tho slave, soul and body, of the general of lii.s order?

Methodists ia Virginia are in a sad condition, and ihe re?\dt must open the eyes ot reflecting men amon?; them. 1 will cut an article out of the Nor-folk (V.-i ) News and enMose it.

The presence and operation of the Hoij Smut npon our hearts does not paralize huiBan e.Tjr..— Ihe apostle evidendy supposes that he who kaas most upon the Spirit of G id is just the man who will be most characterized by active and sirenuous exertion, for he says, -Work cat your own saivi-

Thus the logic of the Christian diiEa-s from the logic of the woild; we need the Spirit of^ God to make us right logicians as well as to make us true Christians. The worid draws the inference— •••EIB Spirit of God does all, therefore wo must do

IF Christ should say to the wicked as to the righte-ous on the last day. "I was an hungered., and ye gave me meat; T was thirsty, and ye gave me drink," &C., they would ask, "when saw we thee hungryV &c. Tbey would think themselves deserving of the commendation, for they always contended that they had good hearts, and loved Christ. Just so it is now. His enemies most confidently and strenuous-ly assert that they love him, while his friends are very suspicious of themselves, often doubt whether they do love him, and are always slow to declare it; and when they do, it is always with regret that they love him so little

Christians wonder why they should be saved. Sinners why they should not be saved. The sinnW asks, ' What have I doneV The chHstian,' What have I not done'*" The sinner says he does the best he can. The Christian knows he does not— Who was it that said, "Bjhold I am vile." Was it Saul, Judas, or Jeroboam? No it was Job,' a perfect an upright man, one that feared God, and eschewed evil."

The habits of an evangelically rig'ateous man are holy; his sins are but occasonal acts contrary to his fixed habits, whereas, with the unregenerate it is the reverse. He may do good actions, bat his habits are sinful. The christian acts out of character when he sins; but when the other sins, he acts m character. With the former, sin is a digression; with the latter, it is the main stay. The one walks

in the ways of obedience, though he is guilty of occasional aberrations; the other walks in the w«ys of disobedience habitually. Devotion is with the Christiana habit, though he is sometimes undevout: so is trust in God, though he sometimes distrusts him; so are sobriety and the severest rectitude, though he may occasionally be betrayed into acts that are opposed to these virtues.

It must be acknowledged that if the sinners are not out of their senses, the saints are. There is madness somewhere. If Festus was not beside himself, Paul certainly was. The one party or the other is dreaming. Who is it, Paul or Festus' —Wevins.

Graves. Marks <t Co., have pnrehased the rijht cf issuing il in book form and to sell it for a limited time, at the cost of $1000.

The work has gone to preM. It will appeM beau-tifully illustrated—not least among which will be a Bteel engraving of Theodosia. It will appear about the middle of March or the 1st of April

The publishers ronfldent of the immense demand for the book. North and Softh. have taken the pre-caution to order two sets of sterfotype plates, one to use in New York to Bopply the nonnern trade, and one to be used at tbeir publishing House in Nashville —25000 copiea ought to l)o sold in the South alone this vear.

Only about one fourth of the book has appeared in the Baptist—it increases in interest to the end—rath-er, we might pay .the interest has but just fairly been indicated.

It is pronounced by our most candid and d i ^ e e t liretbren all over th« South, a book ttii generis, of ihriUinq interest, and marked ability.

We wish to Bupplv the demand as fast as possil.le and we therefore now solicit orders from those who wish early copies

We ttiis day open an order boot receive the Dame'i of ten thousand who may wish to reciive a copy by mail,(price $1 OOorJl 50, beautifully gilt) Verv tipecial attention will be given to mailing, so ibat the work may not l)e soiled in carrying.

Let every broihsr.and every sister in the Souli se-cure a copy of this rare work.

ri-^HIS Paper contains the largest amonnt of origi-J_ nal matter of any parer in the South, or South

West. Its character is wdlknowD. , , Il ia either edited with cnasual ability by the edi

torandhiscorrespondenU.or the doctrinesand p ^ tices it advocates are tremendotals true, since it has obtained aa unparalleled circulation in a short Ume which is rapidly increasing.

It is designed to make the Tennessee Baptist just such a paper as the dttnomination seeds, and the ex-igencies of the times demand. We need one paper of universal circnlation, forpnrpofes of intereommn-nicaiioa. The Tennessee Baptist is becoming that paper.

T I E X S — 0 0 per annum, in advance—^ 00, if payment is delayM longer than twelve months

Our subscribers can see the justness of the discrim-ination in terms, when we inform them that it costs us more than the additional dollar to collect by any effi cient system of agency we can devise. The loss by Ihe present credit system is fully equal to, if it does not exceed, the entire profits of the paper.

Ma. EDrrOE—Dear Sir: Since the date of our last. Bacon has declined,

and is now offering at lOic, hog-round, with limit-ed sales—tho whole city not selling near as much a'i one house would sell with a good summer de-mand.

Lard cannot be sold in lots, except at a great sa-crifice, as there is next to no demand. The article is mostly held at 12al24c, but sales are making slowly at lOic. in bbls.

Oats extremely dull at 4.JC., sacks included. Stock heavy.

Com—Demands limited at 55c. bushel, sacks included.

The demand for Bacon and Lard will be heavy after a month or two, as the amount of Pork slaughtered in Georgia this winter was not large.

It is a plory to God, when the world sees that a Christian hatii Tnthin Imn, that can make him cheerful in tli'.' wnist times- H2 can, with the nightingale, sing »ith E thorn at his breast. The people cf God have grmnd of cheerfulness. They are justitied. .mil inat»ted into adoption, and thia .creates inwar l peicej it makes music within, whatever storms W without. If we consider what Christ hath •wnm^t for tia by hia blsod, and wrought in us by Ids irit, it ia a groand of great cheerful luss, and this cheerfulness glorifies God. It reflects upon a mister, whm the servant ia always drooping and nd : aire he ia kept a t hard commons; his master fioesnot g ^ him what ia fitting.' So when God's peqpla hang their harps on the willows, sure they

In Sister Boone, those traits of character wars happily blended which superlatively quabfled her to make the kind neighbor, tba stcadrkstfnend, the affBctionate wife, the indulgent mother, and the humkle and meek christiia.

She was for many years a zealous and faithful •nfmbcr of tha Baptist Church, cvsr manifesting an abiding ccnfldonco in God her Savior. We do not attempt an extended eulogy in this notice, for with thoso who know her sbe needs POUP, uid to thoso nh:i •r-r-- not acquainted with her, we would :;ay. that c'lr pen i« iucotnpet.-nt to fnMy perform such i v . v i ' .
