There is a terrible destruction awaiting you all. whatever may be the mea.curc of your iniquities, provided ye live and die impenitent. For '-except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.' But what is it to perish? Alas, who can fully tell? It is to be punished with everlasting destruction, from the presence of the Lord, and the glory of his power. It is to be consigned to the gloomy chambers of eternal despair. It i.s to he enpilfed in the deep sorrows of perdition. It i.s to feel the tortures of the undying worm. It is to endure the ficrceness

If final impenitence will insure the ruin of the .soul do yi>n not see an all suflicicnc reason for repent-ance '

UKUAULIS.

I 1. liipentance is a rensnuahlc liuty. It aceonls with every principle of reason, that sinners should be sorr\- that i.hcy have sinned against Gdl. Sin

I is an cnnnnotis wrong, and it is right to condemn ^ y t h a t d„I do good, he .miAunr.d a^ t}:.- result „f | f ^ ^ ^ whatever is wrong. If it hts worlu-widi: ob^crvati.jn—Tlure is i^ine that ,

JOIINSD.N'. acting on the adageth.it "si-lence gives consent" considered this jK int as

settled: an l now. he continued, if this be the ca.se. if the word means to sprinkle or to pour as well as to i:nmerse. it is evident that John might have dip-

till experience becomes his teacher, and then it will | pcd an.l Christ mi^ki hare commanded sprinkling, be to<i late to prolit by the lessons of experience, and yet h.ive used the same word, which is used to

doethgood. no. not one."" Xaw I irguc t!i.at men should repent bccacic Lhey .ore . inT-.er-=. If they wtre holy, they would l.c exempt frotn .i'!.Iii;ntiiin ta repent. Repentance c^itild with no tir. pricty. be enjoined on ar.gels in h.'avcn, i",;r they are m .i state o f sinless pericction. I f men wen.' not per~.iii.il'y guilty, they couldn'It rep. at; for repentan-e alx.-iys impEesa personal cons.?iau.-ness of s-.iis. n-.'-ich tbi v themselves have coumutted. A j tnca are dinner..,, and as sin is an iastilt to the majestr of heaven, being a violation of the divine law. they ought to be sorry tliat they have signed- (.'onsideraiioiLs uf nverence for tl;e Lawgi; er. and of regard Cor his law. should awaken f ee l ing of deep • repentance on aOOTint of sin; for sin is opposed to IUHI. and comes into direct collision with the fTrinci[-!es of righ'e-onsness, embodied in his law. Every signer is un-der obligatiDn to repent. becaiL-e he i.s a simter. This reason is amply s-^tUcient. it there was no other. Sin is a great wrong—a gr'evrTis wn'ing— th) capital wrt.ag of the universe. Every rational cr -atare who has committed this wreng. ought to i e sorry for it. Whether repentance is connected W.th the forgiveness of the wrong is another mat-te.'. The duty of repentance, is a duty irrespect-ive of aH hope-s of pardon. If men ought to re-pent because they are sinners, their oWigation to itptni will remain in full fiirce as long a.s thi-y are EatHS. This is too plain to need illustration.

2. Baausc rrhrlc they cTnitinvc iTjtmntntt. Ihm -irc virtvcSa mid pr^.cttcidhj !zjiilty of .falschcctl.

Sn isa great evil. Its tendency is to jeopardize and even min the best rntert^sts cf tlie universe. Hen, 13 we have seen, arc sinr.er.s. and- as long as they refose to repent, they virtually justify them-selves m sinning. They in etfect say that sin is not wrtmg. In continuing impenitent, they practically affirm that impcnitence is right. Cat this is false, and therefore the impenitent sre virtually gui l ty cf Cilsehood. Impenitcnce is sinful cn other accounts, tmt it is evidently criminal becatise i f involves vir-tual and practical falsehood. Sinners, I know, do notsay in words that impenitence is right, but this isthe language of their acti Dn.s: for if they regarded it iswnmg, would they persist in i t ' There is an-other consideratJon: when sinners are brought to repentance, they always j^istify ijod. and condemn themselves. They feel profjund self-abasement and self-abhorr^ce. Their repentance is condem-natory of themselves. If this be so. impenitence is a virtual justii lcitioncf these who re.fuse to re-pent In other words, the refusal in eirect, declares impenitencc to be nght. wluch is false. Impeni-teace is, therefore, in fact the declaration of a false-hood. Hence sinners ought to repent, because w U e they continue impenitent, they arc virtually »nd prscticilly gmlty of frd.sehnod.

3. Btraiisc Co;l ^aiilniis un si^tt^. s triuU v impniitent state.

The. CDEStiliiliGn of the pUn of redemption is such that there can be no exten.sion of forgiving mert^ to those who do not repent. Gofl's wisdom ^ his regard for tiie interests ef holine.s.>?. appear in this arrangement. If shmcrs were pardoned in their nnpenitencc. it. would operate as an cncourage-nient to the commis.sion c f sin. The tviclic.1, in-Saemted by a love of im'quity, v.-ouM construe it nito a license to continue in their wickedness. The

anmera heart must he broken on account of sin. ^ o r e he can obtain forgjvcncss. '^Let the wicked foreake bis way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, let him rtttum to the Lord, who wHI have

mttrcy upon him, and to our God. who will abun-dantly pirdon.-' We see from this passage of scrip-tare, that Go.1 pardiins after '-ihe wicked forsakes his way,^ c., and this ab.-.ndonmect of his way is the proof of the s inners repentance. It is mini-fest, then, that rcpentance preceeds, and is indis-pensable to, the exertiscer panloning mcrcy. Sure-ly thia Cict famishes a most condusivc rca^n why pen should r e p e n t - a rexsitp which .should be as mfluenh-alinits operation,' as t.he salvation of the sonl is desirable. Indeeil, it is a reason which has » i rec t bearing on the subject of personal .salvation, for there is no salvation without panlnn. and there >3 no pardon without .repentance.

•t- Bcavisc Gnl cnmmaiuls all ir,c,t eirni irlirrc fo repent.

It is needless to argue that the creature is under obEgations to obey the Creator. This wiU be ad-Mtted. W e are bound to obey the commands of God, whether we can see the propriety of them or not We can, howersr, see the propriety of the

' "ammand, npent . Remember it is the great God ""•hn issues his edict Yrom his throne, requiring his asatuTEs to repent. l i e is your Creator, by whose "iMipotent volition you were caused to emerge out of the »byss of nothingness. From him you have r ^ v e d numberless pnrvidential blessings, and the richer blessings of redemption, have been itimcstly "flered you. The God who commands you to re-P®') ere long m e t the throne of judgement, •od cinse the nations to stand ie fore him. Dare IW iJLsobey him? Can you trille with his aathori-'T- TV III you, b y disregarding his injtmction, e i -^ ^ K a w n i t h l His lajinmand is surely a valid rea-^ why you should repent. Paul said in Athens,

the times of link ignorance, Go<l winked i t , wit now rommandeth men every where to repent"

S. Became tity will persist in sin, unless they re-rat ,

is rea-sonable for children to repent when they diso bey their parents, it is infinitely more reasonable that .dinners should repent for having transgressed (.iod s holy law- AVill you, impenitent man. per-form tliis reasonable duty?

:2. Repentance is an important duty. Who can tell how important? Ask the angels in heaven, who rejoice when a sitmer, when one sinner repents. Their J.ly can be justified only by the importance of the event over which they rejoice. Is not re pentance important? Ask the rich man in hell who. failing to secure a mitigation of his torment, desir-ed thi-.t Lazarus might be sent from .'Vbraham's bo som to warn his '-iive brethren,'' urging that - if one should go to them from the dead, they would repi^it: Will jou , impenitent sinner, perform this ini;-<irt.int duty?

•!. Repentance is an tmifcrsd/duty. It is a duty incumbent on all classes'of society. The obliga"-tion t J its performance rests on the young, the old. the ri.-h. the pxir, the bond, the free, the wise and the ignorant. The king on his throne, and the beg-gar in the s t r e e t are equally incapable of throwing otr that obligation. Who will perform this univer--sal duty? God commands all men to repent.

4. Repentance is an immediale duty. God now commands all men to repent That repentance is the immediate duty of all men, arises from the fact that they have already violated the divine law. A reasonable, important, universal duty, must be an immediate duty. Dying sinner, will you not, with-out ilelay, perform this duty?

describe John's baptism. I might rest the case here: but I m i l go farther, and as.' crt that John's liaptism :r,!s nnt immersion nt nil.

Good evening. Mr. Johnson. I am glad tn hear \'0U sav that. said Mr. Perrv who chnnced to come in at tlie moment and heanl this stran^-e a.s.sertion. If we can .mly establi^-h that jKisltion we will throw the Baptists out of cMirt.

Nothing is easier ilone, Jlr. Percy said the pas-tor. It co\ild not have been miinersion. m the first placc. licrutiie imtncrsriii ?/,i5 •/,/(•.

I If course, .saul Mr. I'er<-y- if immersion was im [Wfisible. It e.iuM ni.t have been immersion. Wha t was impossible i-ould not have been done.

Very well then, that -settles the quc.-;tion, for it was clearly imp^issible for John to have iiuinersed the thousands and thousands, (not to say the mil lions) that resnrtvd to him for baptism.

1 don't know a'uout that, .> aid Mr. Percy. In the first place we must determine just how many there were, and then just how many John wa.s able to dip.

Do we know bow many there were? Not precisely, said the Pa-stnr. but there were

great niiiltitudos. The Evangi list .s.iys. Jerusalem and all Judea. and all the region round about Jor-dan went to him and were baptised. Now the pop-ulation of Jem.salem itself was a prodicious multi tude. and that of all ju.lea added to it would sure ly be more than one man tould di[i in the time of John s public ministry.

But. said Mr. Percy, it does not say 'that nit the inhnhitants ••rent. It .says the plnce^ went, by which we are to understand that some of each place men-tioned went. Just as if I .should say that in the great [Kilitical Convention of l.>>4fl. all Tennessee was gathert-d at Nashville to hear Henry Clay. I wotdd not njean that every man. woman and child in the State was there, but only that there were some from every part of it. Just so. Matthew says Jerusalem came, that is. a great many people from Jerusalem, and Jadea. and the country round about Jordan came, that is to say, the country as well as the city wxs fu!ly represented in the crowd. Besides. John did not baptise all who came. He pasitively refused the Phari.sees and Saducee.s, who composed a great part of the Jewish nation. I do not see, therefore, that we have any means of know-ing the exact number of the baptised.

But it can t be denied, said the pastor, that it was an immense multitude, too many for one man to have immerseil.

Will you permit me to ask a question, said Theo-dosia, timidly, (for she had become almost afraid to speak at all. since that suggestion of the Pastor about a joint editorship with Mr. Percy in a body of divinity.)

WiU you permit me to ask how much longer it would take to immerse them, one at a time, than it would to sprinkle them one at a time, in a decent and reverent way!

We do not know, said the pastor, that they were sprinkled one al a tine. They might have stood in regular ranks along the bank, and John taking a bunch of hyssop might have dipped it in the river and sprinkled them by dozens as be passed along.

< >r. suggested Mr. Percy, he might have provided himself with a large sized syringe or squirt gun, and I'dling it from the river have turned its stream along the ranks, as I have seen the boys do at school, spnnkling a whole bench of boys before the master could sec who did it.

This was uttered with such a perfectly serious a-r that the Pastor was obliged to receive it as an anendment to his own supposition, though he could njt help seeing in what a ridiculous light it placed both the baptiscr and his .subjects: and surely there is, in the narrative of the Evangelists, quite as much evidence of the use of the squirt as of the hyssop.

There is another thought, said Theodo.sia. which it setOTS to me will obviate all the difficulty in the way of either a personal dipping or a separate sjirinkling of each individual. " The Evangelist says that Jesus made and baptised more disciples than John—and when the thsciples were gathered to-gether after his death there does not seem In hare hten a vent prent multitude. So it is probable I should think, that though great multitudes came to ./.AH, and great multitudes jolloiced CkrisI, yet comparatively fei" brought forth fruit to justify tk^ir baptism. And besides this, as Jesus is said to have bapti.scd, though he did not do it personal-ly but by his discipK'S, so John may have done a portion of his baptising by his disciples.

Spoken hke yourself, Miss Theodosia, said Mr. Percy. That does indeed obviate all difficulty. The baptism, whatever it was, must have been a personal, individual transaction, and as it would take as long to sprinkle a person, and say over the proper formula of words, as it would to dip him, one is just as possible as the other, and either en-tirely practicable with the aid of the disciples. Don't you think so, Wr. Johnson?

No, I do n o t but let it pass. I have another reason for believing that John did not immerse. It says e.vpre^ly that he baptised in Bethabara be-yond Jordan—and in the wilderness, as well as at the much waters or many waters of Enon, and at the river Jordan, Now as there is no mention made of a river at Bethabara or of a lake in the wilderness, it is fair to infer that no great quantity of water was required—and consequently what ever he may have done in Jortlan, he did not immerse in Bethabara or in the wilderness.

W h y not, Mr, Johnson? I caneaa ly understand that he was baptising in the wilderness, Bethabara and Jordan, at one and the same time. The Jews (as I have learned in m y Sunday school lessons) called any sparcely settled place a wilderness; and BethahM» was a ford or { e n j house on the East bank ef the Jordan- If the ndghborfwod was lone-l y it would be said to be in the wilderness; and a h ^ t i s m performed in the Jordan at that place might be s ^ d wi th equal propriety to be perfonned in the wildeniess, in B e t h a b a ^ or in Jordan. Just as I nlgh t s i j t l i i l apenoa msbnitisedin DtTidson

County, or in the city of Nashville, though the act was performed in the Cumberland river where it passes the city.

Well, said Mr. Johnson, I do not insist on this point; and I leave it more readily, as I have an ar-gument that is perfectly unanswerable; and that is, that John says himself that he did not mmerse-over and over again he repeated thia testimony, ' I indeed baptise you vrith water, but he that com'eth after me shall baptise you irith the Holy Ghost and iritk fire," I am come, he says baptising vntk wa-ter, and again, he that sent me to baptise with tcr. Now when I want to know how John bapti-sed, I go right up to the reverend man with the hairy garment, and ask him to tell me for himself. Did you baptise by immersion' No sir; I baptised tn'/A water, not m water. I was irmMo baptise inffc water not in water—aa he that cometh after me baptises mtk the Holy Ghost, not in the Holy Ghost, and mtk tire, not in fire. So I baptise wth water, not m the wafer. I apply the water to the subject nut the subject to the water.

There does scrm to be some force in that, s-iid Mr. Percy.

To be sure, there not only sccini to be, but there IS a world of force in it. It is perfectly unanswer-able, sir. I am willing to rest our cause on this one point alone. You caa ea.sily understand how one can .sprinkle with water or pour upon with wa-ter, but no one wouM ever speak of immersn,^ WITH vatc,.

The<odosia began again to think of her pastor as she had done before his visit He was not, after all, disposed to rest e.-ery thing on his bare word. He had the proof and had produced i t and that too, just as she desired, from the book itself. Still thero was a difficulty. If John did not immerse, why did he baptise in the river. Why did Je.siis after he was baptised, come up out of the water?

These were insuperable difliculties, but she knew not how to present them without seeming wiser than her teacher.

-Mr. Johnson, seemingly satisfied with the victory he had won. was about to take his leave, although it was yet early, promising to call again soon and show that there was no instance of immersion as baptism recorded in the whole New Testament,

Not only is it true, said he, that John did not immerse, but there is no recognition of immersion as baptism in the Book. Neither before the death of Christ nor afterwards did the disciples ever dip the baptisc-d person in the water.

Please stop a minute longer, said Mr. Percy While wo are on John's baptism, I want to ask s single question. If John did not immerse, why did he baptise in the river? If Jesus was not im-mersed, how does it happen that he had been in the water? If Phillip did not immerse the Ethio-pian Eunuch, for what reason did they go down both of them into the water before the baptism and come up otit of it after it was donel No body in these days goes down into the water to baptise unless he i.s a Baptist

They did not go into the water then, replied Mr. Johnson, any more than we Presbyterians do now There is no proof at all that John, or Jesus, or Philip, or the Eunuch ever went into the water at all.

How can that be, asked Theodosia, when the Scripture says expressly that they were baptised

in the river of Jordan," and that Jesus • came up out of the water," and that both Philip and the Eunuch ' went down into the water ' and ' came up out of the water ' '

I know it reads so in our version, .said the pas tor, but in the original it reads near or at the river. not in it. And dovm to the irate,- not into it, and up from the water not mit of i t

Were the translators of our version Baptists, asked Mr. Percy,

No sir. It is well known that they were of the church of England.

Had they any motive to favor the cau.sc of the Baptists!

None at all, that I can conceive of. How then did they come to make such blunder-

ing work? I cannot tell; but if they had known that the

Baptists would make such a handle of these Httle words "m-' and '.-out of,'' I have no doubt they would have been more cautious,

I hope now, Jliss Theodosia, that your mind is reheved, I will try to see you again to-morrow,

when we will finish the subject. For the present I must bid you good night.

Theodosia accompanied him to the door to light him out, and glancing up the street in the opposite direction to that which he took, she discovered Ed-win and Mr. Courtney returning from an evening recitation—and could not resist the desire to hear what the teacher might have to say about bapti-sing irith the water at the bank of the river. She accordingly waited till he came by and invited him in.

Well, Courtney, said Mr. Percy, as he entered the parlor, we have got you in a tight place now.

Why? what has happened? Any thing wonder-ful ! You look as though you thought so.

Yes sir. The truth is, Mr, Johnson did have some strong rea.sons, and he has brought them out on us to-night. He has in fact proved what he said, and what you seemed to think impossible; that John's baptism was not immersion, and that the Savior never went into the water at all, but was sprinkled on the bank.

Well, how did he make all that out? From the testimony of John himself, John says

that he baptised not in water but with water. It is easy to conceive of sprinkling with water, but no one ever heard of immersng with water.

Is that aU? Yes, that is the substance of the argument Is it possible! said Mr. Courtney, that a minister

of Jesus Christ can take such liberties with the word of God ! 1

Wliat do you mean? Mr. Courtney, Is it not all so? asked Theodosia, in alarm, for she felt that if her pastor had deceived her, even in this point, she could never trust the word of any one again upon this subject

Mr, Percy, said Mr. Courtney, can you read Greek? Bat never mind, Edwin shall set us right.

I can read a little, and when in practice could do as well as most of our graduates, said Jlr, Percy,

Well then you can judge if I attempt to deceive you. Now what will you say if you find that John's assertion, so often repeated, reads in the Greek Testament, in every instance, I baptise you '=ih" water, never "tcith," in a single case. What will you say if yon read, not only that Christ was baptised "in" Jordan, bat "inio" the river of Jor-dan?

•Why I will say that yoo h i r e gained a victoi7 over all the donbts and difficulties which remained in my mind, and I will be convinced I2iat John im-mersed and that JeSQS was immeised b y him in Jordan.

And I, said Theodosia, will be coannced that ThtolflclaM v«tilwatnogtM p c ^ i a t i M i n d l

water, true

Say rather, Presbyterian or Pedobaptist Theolo-gians, Miss Ernest, for the Baptists do not have to bear up and twist about under such a load of error and inconsistency, and can consequently afford to talk right o u t the truth, the whole truth, and noth-ing but the truth. They can afford to take the Bi-ble, the whole Bible, and nothing but the bible, with every word truly translated into plain English, and abide by its decisions. They shun no investi-gation, avoid no controversy, and have no n:ed to change or keep concealed one single word of the Holy record. But let us to our t isk, for it is grow-ing late. Edwin, have you your Greek Testament here?

Yes sir; and my Lexicon and Grammar. Please bring them in. Edwin, can you tell us what is the primary and

ordinary meaning of the Greek prepo.sition ••en." It metms in, sir; or within with the idea of rc.st

m a place, (Sec Bullions' Greek Grammar, p. ITn ) What is the difference between en and eis^ Kis signifies motion from without to within, i'.i

corresponds to the E.>!glish preposition in —cis cor-responds to the English into.

I asked those questions, Mr. Percy, not oa vour account, but to satisfy Miss Ernest, i'ou are per-fectly aware (as every school boy who has gotten through his Greek Grammar must be) of the cor-rectness of Edwin's answers.

Now l>c kind enough to take the Greek Testa-ment and find John 1: 2G. I baptise with water. How does it read ?

It reads buptizo cn rcdati, enough.

And so you will find it in every place. .See the :ilst verse, " £ n " again : so m the oi'.rd, and every place where this expression, which your pastor so much relies upon can be found.

In any other Greek book, any school boy would without hesitation translate it ' I immerse you m water." ' I am come immersing in water. " etc-But now if you wiU turn to Mark 1: 9, you wiU find that the preposition is not •'•en'' but -cis. " So whi t Jesus is said to have been baptised or dipped not merely in but ("CIS ) Into the nver of Jonian.

Now these two words cn and eis are the only words by which the Greek language could expn ss without circumlocution the idea of going into or being in a thing or place; and therefore, if neither of them s-ij-s that the baptism was done in the riv-tr, I do not see how it cmdd be said to have been done there.

Now I grant tliat very rarely en docs mean with, and that it sometimes, though very seldom, dw-.-, mean at or near; but neither of these is the priin.-.t •; common, every day use of the word. En' meai..-. in. in Greek, as much as in does in F.ngli^h. Eis means into in Greek, as much as into does in Eng-lish.

But, Mr. Courtney, there must be some founda-tion for Mr. Johnson's supposition, that cn means icilh, or it would not have 1 een so translated.

Very true. Miss Ernest. En does sometimes (though very rarely) mean inth in the sense of the instrument—by which an action is accomplished. But when a-man would foimd an argument on its having that meaning in every particular case, he must Jirst prove that suck IS OF NECESSITT ITSME.\N-t . \ I I LN T I U R I.VSTA.M K. I f ' En redati" n e c e s s a r i l y

meant with water—if that was even its common. primary meaning, as it. would be naturally under-stood in any other book, or in connection with any other subject, then il might form the basis for an argument; but no tchool boy would think of anv thing else but in water, whenever he would see it; and consequently, for a classical scholar, like your pastor, to form an argument upon ' iri/A"'. as the common meaning of ••en,' is indicative either of great carelessness or wilful perversion of the word of God.

Here is a fact which will enable you to form some more definite conception of the nature of the case. Some very industrious gentleman has counted the places, and so ascertained that this little preposi-tion -ES ' ' occurs no less than two thousand seven hundred and twenty times in the New Testament In about twenty-five hundred of these places, it is m our version correctly rendered i s . In over twenty other places, in would better express the eri-dent meaning of the original. In only about forty places, out of over twenty-seven hundred, does it of necessity mean with, in the sense of the instru-ment or material with which any thing is done. The chances, therefore, are as twenty-.scven hun-dred to forty, that an argument based on the word "with.'' (where it stands for the Greek word - cn will lead to a false conclusion, and the chances are as twenty-seven hundred to forty that an argument based on ' tn ' as the real meaning of the word will lead to a true conclusion, I baptise you in water or if we translate both words, I immerse, or more properly, I dip yon in water, is therefore the tnie reading.

But why, Mr. Courtney, should our translators have employed ''tzri/A" whenever ••at' occurs in connection with baptise ?

For the same reason, Miss Ernest, that they refu sed to translate baptise. They were forbidden by Kmg James to change the ' Ecclesiastical words. They must not teach immersion. But if they had said baptise -'in'' water it would have been just as plain that there was no sprinkling or pouring in the ordinance, as though they had translated "bap-t ise ' in the New Testament in the same way that you have seen they did in the Old, in all the places where (according to Mr. Barnes) the word occurs.

But they did not use "inth,'' in every case, be-cause that construction would have been, in some instances, such a monstrous perversion, that every one could see it- They did not venture to say that the people were baptised wrrn the river nf Jordan confessing their sins; or that Christ was baptised WITH the Jordan: o r t h a t J o h n w a s b a p t i s i n g WITH

the wilderness. Mark 1:4 . It was only where the connection did not make the meaning clearly ob-vious to the unlearned, that they ventured to mys-tify the ordinance by the substitution of with, in the place of the common and primary mcamng of the -'fii.''

If I do not forget, said Mr, Percy, with, when signifying the instrument by which any thing is done, is in the Greek language, commonly cxpres.scd by "ditt" construed with the genitive.

Yes, but even if John bad said '-dia," instead of '•en" the Pastor would have had no sufEcient basis for his argument: for even '-ilia" would have been a very slight, and very narrow, and veiy sandy foundation. It would only have told that it was water, and not oil, or mud, or sand, or any other in-strument or material with which the baptism was performed. It would have said nothing at all about the mode of performing the act. If I say that the cloth of which my coat was made was cdored with a solution of Indigo, I don't even intimate that the solution was sprinkled on it or poared on i t The cloth was dipped in it, I only mean that it was dip-ped in Indigo not in Logwood, or Madder, or any other dye-stu£ If I say that the leather of which o y boots u»«ia4Q w u tuned mtk u isfoatoo of

Hemlock bark, I don't deny that it was dipped in the infusion. I only mean that it was Hemlock, not black oak. or red oak, or any other kind of material that was used.

Oh. yes! exclaimed Edwin who all this time'had been a most attentive, though a silent listener. I asked old aunt Chloe, the cook, only this momrng, how she would get the feathers off the chicken she was killing for dinner. -1 will scald i t " said she. •with hot water. " .And I went into the kitchen,

and s.-tw her do it by putting it into the water. And hig Joe, the butcher, when he killed our hogs last Christmas, loosened the bristles and hair with hot water, but he did il by immersion, for he dip-ped them several times into the barrel and then pulled them out and scraped them.

That will do Edwin, said Mr. Percy, laughing. I see we must give it up. If you won't give us any more illustrations, I will promise never to men-tion -iri/i'i' again, by way of argument on this subject, as long as I live; and seriously, Mr. Court-ney, 1 feel that 1 have reason to be ashamed of my-self. for having been so easily imposed upon by this mere semblance of argument, presented with .so much parade, and such an air of confidence, by our pastor, Mr. Johnson. I sb.all soon begin like MISS Eniest to loose confidence in all teachings but those of the Bible, and in all teachers but my own judgment

These, .sir, are your only safe guides, replied Mr. Courtney, but it is w d l to remember, that though God's word is infallible, our judgment may be bias-ed by our feelings; and wheu we study the word theref.ire. we should pray for a heart wdlimr to re-Lcue. and a u-iU rouly to obey all the commandments of our Heavenly Master. The difficulty with many persons is not .so much that they cannot understand as that they an; unwilling to obey. You will, I fear, find it much easier to satisfy your mind that im-mersion is the only scriptural baptism, than to abandon your church connections, and submit to be baptised according to the commandment of Jesus Clinst. But I must bid you gjod night. It is lime I wr s at home.

IIT 11. r,. lUTiULS MISS.

There arc two fundamental and essential qualifi-cations of a christian minister which are directly implied in the term itself; fiist conversion to God; second, a call from (iod. No man is entitled to the honors or equal to the responsibilities of the sacred office, who is not in the possession of these requi-sites. What, then, should be the character of a christian minister, considered in relation to his con-version to Ciod' This question scarcely requires an answer. \Vhat does conversion imply? It imphes a change of heart—a change of character—a change cf hopes, aims and aspirations. It implies a put-ting ofi' the -old man which is cornipt according to the deceitful liLsts, " and putting on the "new man which after God is created in righteousness and tnie holine.s.s. " It implies that old things have pa.ssed away, and behold! all things have become new—that Jesns is bom within us the hope of glory—that we arc no longer our own, but that we are bought with a price—and it implies a determi-nation to crucify the fie.sh. and to glorify God in our bodies and spirits, which are his—a subjection of our will to the will of God. and the direction of our aspirations to the "mark of the prize of the high calling " and to the "fullne.ss of the measure of the statue of a man in Christ Jesus." The character is transformed, the heart is regenerated, and the love of God and the sanctification wrought through the agency of the Holy Spirit supply new and holier motives to influence our actions. The effects or re-sults of conversion are love to God and love to man.

a desire to promote His glory, and our own happi-ness and the happiness of our fellow men, both in this world and that which is to come—an inclination to do good and a disinclination to do bad—a love of patience and christian forbearance, of virtue and temperance, of meekness and humility, of godhness. brotherly love, and chanty, which covereth a multi-tude of sins—and, in line, a yearning after all those graces which beautify and adorn the christian character. And, at tbe same time, it refines the sensibiUties and smooths down the asperities of the unsubdued heart; it also creates an abhorence of envying and strife, disputing and evil surmising, back-biting and hypocricy. and a detestation of all those passions and perversitiis, the excitemcnt of which would degrade and bnitahze human nature and steal the heart against tho impressions of di-vine truth. Chnst is their all m all—the life of our lives—the noblest example of moral excellence the world has ever seen, and the only one worthy of universal imitation.

We yearn after and long for his piety, devotion, self-denial, and self-consecration—wc dwell with rapture upon his burning wonls and dj-ing exhor-tations to his disconsolate foUo-jvers. and appropri ate to ourselves the great salvation pnrcha.sed by Gethsemane's anguish, and Calvary's blood — by the incaniation and death of th-i crucified Nazareen. If the minister then is a converted man, and he tan not be a Christian Mmi.stcr without it, he possesses all these attributes of Chn.stiaa character—all men .see depicted in his life and deportment the image of his I,ord and master—his facihties for usefulness are ine-alculably multipUed. and his reputation, cor-re.sponding with his character, is untarnished by the breath of susjiicion. Such should be the charat-ler of a disciple of Jesus, whether he is a minister or a layman. All are equally obhgatcd to exempli-fy the chnsiian character by a godly walk and pi-ous conversation; but somethirg more is expected, if not required, of those who stand in Christ's stead reconciling the world to him through the foolish-ness of preaching; and this consideration brings us to our second interrogatory, What should be the character of a christian minister in rt:lati(m to his call from ( Jod? We hare already proved ia the be-gining of this essay, by dutiotis , both from the Old and New Testaments, that a man must be called of God before he has the requisite qualifications for the office of a bishop, that then a distinctive differ-ence, created by this call, between a bishop and a common brother in the gospel, and that, first of al], il is requisite he should be a converted man.

These preliminary questions Icing settled, we pro-ceed without delay to.consider his charactcr, in re-lation to his call. The individual is honored and elevated by this call to an office higher, nobler, ho-lier, and, when properly regarded, more distinguish-ed than any other a man can bold upon earth. •Whence eminates this honoif By whom is he clothed with the ministerial robe? By whom in-vested with the ministerial office? Whence comes his call? From the people? for we learn from wri-ters upon government, that they are the source and fountain of all earthly power. Nay, veri ly; it mold be ospudgsible pi«smptioa for tbem to

claim its paternity. From the President of the I'nited States ? for onr constitution tells us that he has power to appoint Ministers. Envoys Ejtraordi-naiT. Ac. Nay. Terily; it would be bla.sphrany com-mensurate only with that of the Arch-Antichrist, •who sits in the temple of God. showing himself

tha4 be is God," were he to urge such arrogant and heaven-daring pretensions. From the church then? for .some contend that she is the highest ecclesuis-tical authority on earth. Nav, verily: although the <;hurch has something to do with the furmaJities of induction into office, yet it would be a wmton usur-pation of the prerogatives of the Great head of the Church, and an insult against the Majesty of heav-en and earth, for her to assume to claim the right to throw the mantle of the Ministry upon whomsoever she pleased, regardless of the requi.sition of the or-tkclcs of Holy Writ, and in contravention to the will of him who uj .holds all things by the word of his power. This office is conferred by the Lord of hosts, the King of kings, and Lord of Lords—by whose suifcrauce kings rule, and governments resist the shock of revolving years. I can now appreciate fully the declarauon of the Apostle Paul - I mag-nify mine office. ' .\nd is it not an office wortliy of being magnified^ Point out to me a more honora-ble office. Even in our day on office derives its consequence, dignity, and importance from the char-actcr, Stan ling, high position and authority of the conferring [xjwer. This preposition Ls evid.^nt to all men of any reading and obscrvanon. For m-stance, great honor and re-spe!:l attaches to an am-bassador from the t'nited States to the Courts of Europe, because the rank and position of this na-tion. in the great family of nations, and the high authority of the President who appoints, and the Senate who ratify the appo'mtmmt. rmder the office honorable and impart dignity and con-idcra-tion to It. amba.ssador from the Sirdwich Is-lands to the same Courts, would not be so much re-spected, becau.se his nation is not .so prciit a.s ours. How much dignity then, should attach tf the min-isterial office, which is bestowed by the Sovereign of the I niverse—the Prince of Heaven and Eartii? the sanctified intellect revolts al and rejiels the i lea of institutmg a comparison lictween the Pnadent of the I'nited States, who is but a w o m of the dnst. and him. '-who is, and was. and la to rnme.'' By as much then, as Jehovah transcenc-s all created inlelligencies, all hunum jmwer and vnsdom, of which he is the author, by as much ILS th« t ' rcaior transcends, in every attribute of perfi<-tion. tlie creature; by so much does this ministerial nffire transcend evry earthly object which man. tlie work -manship of the great .Architect's hands lieslows. Human rank and promotion sinks into msignificance in view of lhal preferment and promotiim. which is the gift of Divine Wisdom. AVhat then should l>c the chajacter of him who holds such u matchleaa office!

What kind of behaviar do wc expect nf those ambassadors accredited by our Repubhc to foreign courts' We expect them to maintain a lofly bear-ing. corresponding to. and consistent wiiji. the high and responsible stations, whose duties they di. -charge. Any delinquency, or indelicary on their would be a reproach and scandal to the r ation, and we consequently, feel interested in the dignity of theirdeportment 'When the intelligcnre naiched thia country some years ago. that our Mini.sicr at the Ottoman Porte had conducted him.sc!f so innsistcnt-ly. with republican simplicity—^that when the dra-goman led him into the presence of tht Turkish Sultan, there was no sinking in his knees, but his step was firm and elastic, his countenance compos-ed, his eye radiant as the morning, and his whole bearing manly and dignified, becoming t i e Repre-sentative of a great Republic; all our bosoms swel-led with patriotic pride, and we felt proud that her sons abroad, remembered still the independence of their father-land. If wc look for this land of de-meanor from our national ambassadors, an- we not justified in expecting a higher and nobler bearing from the amba.ssadors of the Court of Jesus Christ? The}- arc the preachers of a purer life, llic heralds of the Cros^ co-laborers tflth Chri.st. the ministry of the living God. They should beha-.e as the mini.sters of God, as becometh the dignity of the office they hold. Tlieir charactcr should if possi-ble. be more lofty and heavenly than ot her men, seeing they belong to a more excellent ministry, they should illustrate in their lives and liiahinters the pure and holy doctrines they promulgate—be living epistles known and read of all men remem-bering that they dwdl in the mid.st of a wicked an i untoward generation, ready to turn tvery fault and indi.scretion to the account of the prince of darkness. Sliould they di.sobey the holy c-.ommand-ment, delivered unto them, and suffer the light of a holy example to Ije obscured by sin, tbe cause of Christ, tlie word of Christ would be reiiroit-hed and fall into disrepute. Saints instead of lieing bm1t up, would be weakened in their holy faith, and de-mons would laugh, in fiendish exultation, at tho declinc of the banner of our Lion. As wc expect from our ambassadors al the Courts of S t James and S t Ckrad, a more irrepmachable charactcr—a more unsullied reputation—and a nobler bearing than we do of common citizen unhnnored -Kilh the •lawn of office.' so in the .same ratio do we expect of the ambassadors of Chri.sl, to our ape state race, a more irreproachable character, a mon- unsnllied reputation, and a nobler bearing than we do of a common disciple who ministers not in hc.!y things,

This brother has had abundant op-portunity to acquaint himself with the sentiment of the masses in the Middle, Southern and Western States.

' Let the Baptists invite Pedobaptists to their communion table, or else adliere rigidly to the old ways, and seek for the old paths." Such were the sentiments of some of our prominent brethren, and of the mafises, ten years ago, ere the striplings aspired to reign in Israel. The venerable Jesse Mercer never uttered words more true than when he affirmed, four and forty years ago, • That all churchcs and miHisters, who originated since the apostles, and not sueccssively to them, are not in gospel order, a n d thercfv.ru CAKXOT BE ACKNOWLEDO-

nicddkHl with things iWvlhoiIistual. we would find ourselves taking ft dog by the ear. .V small expe-riment in that way, enables me to bear liim testi-mony that he represented the matter not qui/c as bad as I am likely to-find it. However I do not know that I could be justly charged with med-dling. Mr. Mo*re had delivered himself of a iKjis-terons tirade of very vulgar abuse of Pendleton, Graves and the Wheel, and as he appered to walk pretty steadily in the "'foot-steps of his i.lustrious"' compere. Dr. Lee McFerrin, & traducers of Graves and the Iron ^Vheel, I thonght there could be no great improprtety in giving to tho readers of the Baptist some idea of what kind of weapons of warfare, this Kentucky member of the firm is not incapable of using: and what succe.ss is bkily to crown their efforts, and it ajipears, for my pains if I get off with bit fingers I shall do well.

A violent thmst is made at my reputation. -Mr. Moore coiiies.out in the Advocate of the 27th uit , with what he calls his -criticisms upon my notice of him, published in the Baptist of An^. 25. He several times intimates that 1 did not tell the truth, and once boldly asserts that one of my statements is false. Wlrnt a great scanilal it is, that men pro-fessing to be clinstiaiis, will bandy such epithet-s. so regardle.ss of conscjueiicis. Fortunately for me. however, before I close these criticisms up the crit-ic, I think I shall be able to prove frmn his own

production, that, in his hot baste to fasten th'- , , • falsehe^d uiKm me, he has mi.slocated it, and that it ; and not as a:. Aj^.stle. for said, he, if he hi.d given must be saddled somewhere else.

If he will take the trouble to read Acts, .w: 22-23—that is, if be ever read any thing but Mansfield s Political Grammar and the Discijibne, he will find that the • KHOIC churrK" was engaged in that matter; tlierefoie. it will not do fur a Methodist Conference at all. and that his charge of untruth against Peiidleio" falls with redoubled force upon his own head.

But I have passed over one item. He says it is well for the Baptist cau.sc that I did not give one 01" hit proofs in support of Methodism. O, distressing! Wliat a wonderful man this Mr. Moore is!

Far be it [rum m - to question the truth of what the Committee .^ay, but there are some tilings which a lawyer in Court, would consider circumstantial corrub'jrati'Tns m" the statements ut • I.ulher-'" and -Mtamo.'- cor instance. 11 is a fa.-i tli.it Bro . ford is no longer one of the Edtti>rs of t i e Recorder. I t is a fa..-t that Bra. Fird is now Proprietor of the CTinstian Be"posit<.iry. U is a fact that the two Xos. of the Ecpo.^iH.Ty issued by him. are intensely anti-Campbellite. They even contain tlie first two of Bro. Waller s • Lctter.i to a Kefomicr.'' and the whole scries w i l l p u b l i s h e d with the conscnt of Bro. W. 's relatives- .so far as they have been con-sulted, though it was thought highly improper for them, to be publis"ned in tho Tennessee Baptist. Brr>. F..

I imderstarsl the (Committee as say in-,; that evei^ tiling written against Campbellism for the Recorder, has been published. Has Bro. Sears written no articles that have not been pubrtJu-d! Some would E t c to be informed.

The Committee .say. -the idea of Iwing a martyr in the cause of J . R. Graves, seems to possess him, [me.J as an infatuation""—that -he even intimates how hard he will die, Sx. ' The Committee will please accept my thanks for their complimentary reference to my -iaiatnation "" If I mistake not it has sometimes hippencd since the world was made, that menin charging -infatuation" on others, have proved themselves infatnated. I will inform the Committee that I do not uxjiect to l.>e a "martyr. I respectfully question their power to indict mar-tyrdom. ^L^t my meaning be perverted, I e.vplain by sayiug, that 1 refer to moraJ" martyrdom—the martyrdom of character and reputation.) As to my dying hanl, how-was the expression used? A letter from a duzcn of Louisville, authorized me to infer that aa atta.^k woul i be made on Bro. Graves through the Reconier. I inferred at what point the Ettaclt would be made. (I must be allowed to say that I drew inferences, because the plot was not; given in detail.) I believe I could render some ser-vice at that point, m d believe it yet . I replied that

I would have a p-nrt in that figh^ and that Graves and myself would die as hard as ever "any t ^ men (Sddie, East or West of the m o u n t a ^ " This was a private letter^ l£ was not -written to the Committee, as they well know. I have said again and a ^ n . and T now say it once more, making i t pnUic, that as long as I believed Bro. Graves is in' the rig'tit, 1 will ddend Wm. Some may say the defence wiH be weak. Perhaps so, but it will have all the strength that brotheriy affection, con-Srmed ^ things {aospeions, and things adverse can give i t S o t will i t Iad(,thc element of power w h i ^ indomitaUemanl courage supplies.

tist,.. has wrought evil among us and divided our ranks: and what it has done it -will continue to do as long as it exists. Pedobaptist ^ see and know this, ami therefore is it that they are willing to be received into our embracc. Their bitter dentmcia-tions of OS—which if collected would fill scores of volumes—evincc that it is not their /m-c for us but their -news of policy which lead thorn t.» seek atHliation with us- Brethren, curse them not, but o>me out from among them- Preach with them less, but love and pray for them more-

I have detailed the circumstances which gave rise to intercommunion with Pedobaptists in our denominational councils and our pulpits. It never became general. But few .Associations, compara-tively, ever adopted the practice. Tho masses of our people never gave it their sanction- This moral disease extended its ravages principally among the rejnited leaders of the people; but even among them very many have e.scapcd the infection. As evi-dence of this fact, I will here add a few extracts from a communication received from Virginia and published in the Christian Itulex, Nov- 28, 1845. over the signature of "Fussgenger."' The author o.-cupirs a very promment position in onr demnnina-tion, and is. probably, doing more than any other man living to extend our denominational influence in this country. His article was written in reply to Rev. Wm. B. Johnson, D. D., who had contend-ed for tho validity of baptism administered by Pe-dobaptists.

- The Dr. asks, 'May there not be preachers of tlie gospel who have not been immersed upon a pro-fession of faithV On the afBrmative of this posi-tion dejiends his theory, and I unhesitntingly reply to this iiiterrngatory j n the negative. T h a t t h e r e are unimmcrsed pensons who preach a part of the gospel, is beyond question true, but that they are qualified to prcach the vrhole gospel is impossible " This he demonstrates very clearly, and no one, in tliat day, rose up to gainsay!

-Our venerable father assumes that there may be such preachers," and sustains the assumption by the remark, that -we not only go to hear Pedobap-tist ministers in their oim pulpit, but invite them to preach in ours.' t If this custom of ours is to give validity to their baptism, contrary to the word of God , I s a y , let its by oil weans ahtmdon the prac-tiu."

- A difficulty now presents itself. -It laay be asked,' says this beloved man of God, 'if a man

1 not immersed upon a profession of faith bo recog-nized as a p r e i i e r and baptiaer of believers, why is lie not received as an administrstar of the Lord's

Jewish law: ' Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head and honor the face of the old man. '

In nur thoroughfares aud places of public resort, boys aud young meu rush by tho »ge<l witliont showing the slightest mark of respect;—their tottering steps ar" almost luihceded. Even in our meeting houses 1' young often thrust themselves into the mtist fiirtablc seat.s. leaving old persons to do tha ht -i they <-an in .some inferior pla"c, I have .seen child-ren and youth sit, while a man, venerable fur his years and social iWNiiiim, was taking leavr of the

It may 1* argued that this maxim was delivei-c<l to the Jews, and that we have notliinij to do with It, but it is certainly among the -whatsoever things are lovely' enjoined by the great apostle of the Gentiles.

The man who has faithfully served his genera-tion. ecrtainly deserves the respect of those coming after him, reaping where ho has sown, and gather-ing the fruit of his toiLs-

That unfortunate class of men that grow old without laying posterity under obligations for their deeds of virtue and self-denial, at least demand our pity. Tlicy arc often burdensome U> themsel-ves as well as to others. When they retrospect their lives, nought is visible but an uncultivated de-sert, a wiidemess of weeds. >Vhen they look for-ward all is darkness and gloom; no star of hope illumes their pathway to the tomb. To such we surely ought not to deny the slight alleviation which courteous kindness administers.

Some pleasing vestiges of this ancient custom may still be found. I have seen a whole family of grown up sons and daughters rise when their fath-er entered the room. Each vied with the rest in showing him honor- I was .sure those children had been carefully trained: no menial hand had formed their manners: they owed much to a faithful, pious mother 8 care.

The reuiaak 13 sometimes ma.lc. There are no children in these days."' Soon after they escape from the nurse's arms, they are get^tlcmen and ladies, ready to be instructed in the mysteries of the dra-wing room. Sending and receiving cards, pay-ing i-alls, attending parties, etc. Thus the spring-time of life, in which body and mind should be develaped, is coasumed in vanities, at which our grand-mothers would have blushed. While every candid mind must admit that the present genera-tion enjoys advantages superior to any former age, yet we must eschew the idea that every innovation is an improvement. "Younr America " too soon escapes from leailing strings. Let mothers see to it, thaf the natural period of childhood is not abridg-ed—let children be taught their tnie position in the social circle, and the errors complained of will as certainly cease, »s any other effect cfs-ses when its c«iise is removed.

ACTS T MO. And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord lay not this sin to

their charge. And when he had said this ho fell asleep." Full of the spirit of the Redeemer, the dying breath of the first chnstian martyr was spent in pleading for blessings on his enemies. He fell asleep. ''Asleep in Jesus." From that sweet re-pose no murderous stone can arouse him. That mangled body will be re-animated in the image of the blessed Redeemer.

Acts 8: 8. "And there was great joy in that city." The Gospel brings joy wherever it is cordially re-ceived. It sets at liberty the captives of the devil. Chains fall ofi the slaves of sin.

Acts 9: 35. "Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which is by interpretation Dorcas: This woman was full of good works and alms deeds which she did." A high encomium in a few words. She spent her days in good works; in deeds of charity. She "plied tho industrious needle in making garments for the poor. Those who had received her benefactions were, probably,

chief mourners at her death. •\cts 14: 7. "And there they preached the gos-

Acts 16: 25. -And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises unto God, t n d the prison-ers heard them." Many stripes had been laid on them, they were thrust into tibe inner prison, their feet were made fast in the stocks;—but fetters could not be fastened on their fHe spirits. There was melody in t h a r hearts, and the prison vaults, unac-customed to other sounds tlwan those of woe, rever-berated their songs of pnuse. External circum-stances have little influence on spols in commnnion with God.

No apologies to offer for denouncing an author in the most vulgar manner, and calling his book a tissue of falsehoods, without giving one particle of proof io establish the fact: and when called upon in a respcctful man-ner, to give a few specifications, at first promised to do so, but upon '-second thought,"' skulked frum the duty!! I No apologies for all these, and a score of other indignities offered to an intelUgent communi-ty fn.ira the pulpit! But where he mentions Graves" name, he must needs apologise!! J . R. Graves would have such men always apologise for taking his name in their unhallownd lips.

He says, ' No disinterested person wouUl expect a production from the hands of J . R. Graves agamst his opponent." Let us see how Sir. Moore repre-sents an npponsnt, and how he will avoid a proper issue.

Ue quoted what Graves said about Methodist preachers being under obligation to obey their su-periors rather than the Bible, and after pronouncing the charge an "unqualified falsehood," (to use his own language,) ho read from the Disciphne the questions and answers to be propounded to, and a n s i r c r e d b y t h e Bishops, Elders, a n d Deacons, a t their ordination, taking care to slop when he got to what Graves calls the oath; and though he must have known that the Discipline makes a distinction between the prcacliers and the other orders of the ministry, he did not read one word about the preach cr. So far from reading and commenting upon the fbllowing from tho discipline, tho foundation upon which Graves chiefly predicated his charge, he did not ap|)ear to know the Discipline contained such lanRuage. "Rule XII, Act in all things, not ac cording to your own will, but as a son in the Gos-pel. As such, it is your duty to employ your time in t b ; manner which we direct: in preaching and and V isiting from house to house; in reading, inedi-taiiolt and prayer. .IVBOVB ALL, if y o u labor w i t h us in the Lord's vmeyard, it is needful that you should do that part of the work which we advise.'"

Mr. Moore, in trying to screen himself, after com-paring his congregation to grinning 0|iossnm, says, "I know not of any rebuke 1 felt, but of an insult offered me while preaching, by several of the gen-tleman's church. I t will suffice to say—tirst, there •was no one laughing in the congregatkm at this time, except by those reproved, who were making sport; second, those reproved were all Baptists, to wit: S. O. R., and company." Mr. E. Moore asked him after he came down from the pulpit, if he had reference to any persons in pai t iculv, he s ^ he had, and named two persons, and said he intended it for them, and S. O. E., was not one of them! Ricliaid B — I - is not a member of any dinrch, and he f d t so outraged by being compared to an Opos-sum under such circumstances, that he immediate-ly left the house and went home^ Mrs. Louisa T. is a Methodist and she says the thought the slur was intended for her- Indeed I have not heard of but two individnala who £ d not lang^ S. O. B., are the imtials of one of their names, he is a man as worthy of faeUef as Ifr. Moore, aad he says did not laugh; the other was A.

" Vhen I charge a man wiih falsehi>od. and, in doing So. give such indulitable evidence tliat 1 am myself guilty of the very thing that I chargc him with, and that he is clear of it, may 1 never have the cnurage to look an honost man in the face— much less to ascend the sacred desk to rea,son as did Paul, --of righte.->u.'--ness, temperance, and judgement to come.

Bui not being satisfied with lliis, as if ilelenmn-ed upon his own destruction, be says: • at the re-quest of Rev. Comet, Peter Shields, and John Cor-nehus. we scut Parson l.amb a challenge, by four or five peraons, Ac."'

I t is reported, but whether truly or not 1 cannot say. that Peter Shields says he had nothing to do with this matter. Perhaps Mr. Moore had better call on Mr. and know the truth of the matter, it m a y be h i s mtsfi.i lunr '0 l-c Jowu: laborin-^ m:der a mistake, it might have been some one else. Rev Comet is a man iu whom all who know him. have the-utmost confidencc. and it is notbebeved that he will talk two ways. He has expressed himself more than once, as disapproving of Mr. Moore's course: and il is not believed that he advised any challenge. As to whether Jolm Cornelius advised it, this deponent saith not. He may have done it. Nor is it beheved by any Baptist that Jlr . Moore ever sent by five, four, three, two. cr even one per-son, any such message as be speaks of with any expectation that it would be delivered. If he did they, from the effort he had made, saw so little to hope for, that they, no doubt, thought the most prudent course, would be to keep it to themselves: at least they never thonght proper to trouble me with it.

PEXISSIF^S UfiiciAi. AdUCM OK -niE Sroiisi-I-N<I OF SEBASTCIPOL.—The p a p e r s b y t h e Canada contain no telegraphic despatches from the allied Ge-neral.s: —

The following is Pelissier s ofiicial dtspaldi con-cerning the fall of Sebastopol:—

UEADgr.vKTEKS- Stii.*.sTOP.,JU Sept- 11, ISaS. -The artillery of the right attack commenced on

ihe 17th, of .\ugust a well sustained lire against the Malakoff. Little Redan and the neighboring de-fences, in order to perimi our engineers to estabhsh iheir defences close to Hie place, from which the croups might be able instantly to throw themselves upon the enciente. <Ja the dih of September our batteries opened a violent fire against ihe town, and the English, on their si.Jc. kept a hot cannonade a-gainst the Great Pwedan.

' the t th of Seplembei, at noon, ail being rea-dy, 1 resolved, in concert-with General Simpson, to give the assault. ' .eneral McMahon's division was to carry the Malakotf: General Dulac"s division to attack the httle Redan, and in the centre the divis-ion of General Samotternnge was to march against the curtaiii connecting these two extreme points.— r gave to General Bus'iuet General Mellinet's divis-ion of guards to support the first three divisions.— General deila Marmora wished to join the Sardinian brigade to that, having at its head Genend Levail-lant's division, which was to penetrate mlo the in-terior of the town by the central Bastion, and after-wards turn the Flagstaff B.-istion, in order to estab-lish a lodgement there likewise.

The English and French mortar boats rendered us great assistance.

-Vfter unexampled difficulties tieneral McMahon's dirision succeeded in eiieciing a lodgement m the interior parts of the -MalakofI"- Standing in the Tranchion Redoubt on tlie ilamelon, 1 considered the Malakoff was safely in our {.ower, and I gave then the signal agreed upon with General Simpson. The EngEih immediately advanced bravely against the s.'Jient of the Great Redan. They were able to ellect a lodgement and Elmgglod to maintain the

one authorized to deliver a message from Mr. Moore po-sition, but were cmshcd by the Hussian reserves that ho became tiemenduou-sly enraged after I left the Chapel, and said he woidd straddle the Iron Wheel, and would defend himself against Lamb or any one else. I also heard that on the next day his rage had still such a hold on him, and finding nothing more worthy on which to vent it, he like a fury, fell foul of his own horse, and gave him an unmerciful beating. This, gentle reader, is one of the traducers of Graves and the Iron AVheel; and the only one so void of discretion as to be induced ever to promise specifiations; and 1 oph e if the Virginia and Teimessce members of the firm should ever be so much off their guard as to promise spec-ifications. that their last end will be like his. These men know the I r m "Wheel is a trae book and they will not be apt to want the discretion to confinc their denomination to generals, and not to particu-1 ars, lest they might be trapped. But how long they will retam the confidcnce of any .me. in the use of such means- remains a problem.

And this Mr. Moore, reader, is a preacher, «.p pointed by Bishop Soule, to go in and out before re-spectable and mtelligent .Methodist Societies, aud t h a t too »rAr/Afr they are villwg tn rcccivc him or not. I say nothing disrespectful of Bishop Soule for he is no doubt as worthy as any one exercising his authority; bu t how long intelBgent people, in a republican government like ours, will fall down be fore this Great Iron "Wheel, also remains a problem. 1 think the mania -will wane in the proportion that it is read and studied in Graves' book

I now beg leave to "tip my beaver" to Mr. Mo.jre, As to the "short fights he proposes,"' I have only to say, if he intended the banter for me, that I would b ^ to be excused. As all lands nf Metho-dist preachers have bcoome so very lEgnificd of late, it i s time some kinds of Baptist prcachers were standing upon their digmty too. I wiH give Mr. Moore as open a field as I would that badly 'odor-ed" little of which he is so fond. He ap-

pears to have nursed and cherished that detestable little creature so much, and has become so much as-similated to in "odor," that "odor" with him is a first idea,and he takes every thing else to be contam-mated. Now Mr. Jloore, a diacussioD between yon and me on the merits of the Iron Wheel, Church Government, or any other subject, is a thing that can't happen.

I f ^ that an tpdagj is dne from roe to every who r a d s this pece- I had not thought that

I could be induced to answer sadi a man as Mr. M ^ "according to his foDy" hot some how or

Ihsrebeen; andtheonly a p o k ^ I have tb is, that Mr. Moore's was a de^iente case,s]id

H e (bllawing anecdote I relate on the autlijrity of Bder Alfred Bennett whose praise was in all the cimirhes- Elder B.. thnagh an eminently pious man, enjoyed - a good laugh" very much indeed. There is nothing in ardent piety incompatible with cheerfulness nor with a keen perception of the lu-(Enoua. But to the anecdote:

Shortly after the constructi.m of the nrst csoals in the TTnited States, gentlemen and ladies were ac-cnstomed. much more than at present, to travel in Cinal boats. I t happensd on one occasion, m the State of New York, that two. ladie.s of difibrent temperaments and views were on the same boat. T h ^ could not agree about anything, and the same temperature of the atmosphere would not do for both. -Night come on and the two ladies, vrith many otherg, took posse.<:sion of their benhs. Alas, how uncomfortable are berths on canal boatsl Oae of the ladies fancied tliat it was necessary to the prservation of her life through the night that « certM window should be opened, and the other, of ctmrse, thought it must be kept shut if she lived till morning. The 'diamber maid was named Ta-bitha. Soon a shrill voice was' heard, "Tabitha, Tahitha." ••'nTiat will yna have, madam?"' an-swered Tabitha.- --Open that window or I shall be »nffi«tcd,'' said the first of tlic nervous ladies. The wmdow waa opened. In a little while the voice of tha second lady was beard: '-Tabitha, Tabit^; close that window or this cold air vnll kill me before morning. The window was closed. Soon, however, Tabitha was ordered to open it again, and ttsi before she could close her eyes to sleep she *»s commanded to shut it. Thus things went on for sometime, the futhful Tibitha alternately open-ing and shutting the wiiidow. It may readily be u n i t e d that amid such a disturbance there was 'OJ Uttle sleeping. Even the gentlemen in their »Jttrtment were interrupted. One of their number, (an old bachelor I presume) having had ample op-POTtmnties to learn the name of the chamber-maid, c ^ e d o u t , '^Tabitha, Tabitha. open that -window tin one of the ladies dies- then shut it tffl the other d ies -and let ua have some peace here.^

Q u ^ . Hasanyoneintravelmg ever witnessed any thmg equal to the .scene on this canal boat?

SHALL PEDO-BAFTISTS BE IXTTTED INTO BAP-

TITS PULPITS? Me . EDITOR: You leave mo no alternative.

-Y'our challenge to answer J . M. Pendleton on the negative of this question, compels those, whose practice has been affirmative, cither to defend that practice or to abandon it contrary to their convic-tions: or, again to practice that which they dare not defend. A determined nunister will not consider the last—a conscientious minister "cannot adopt the second proposition: so that in truth, there is no al-ternative, where there is no acqmesence in the prin-ciple. TSTien the associated talents that illuminate the editorial columns of the Tennessee Baptist, are concentrated in support of any proposition affect-ing the well-being of the great Baptist family—it is impossible to regard that concentration with con-tempt—it is not prwUiit to treat it with neglect.

For th« Tennessee B»pUit. BEO. GBAVES:—By request, I send for publica-

The brethren convened with the Oak Hill church Pontotoc CO., Jliss , Introductory sermon by Elder Wm. Young, from John 16-40: "Sly kingdom is not of this world. Bro. B. Packson was callcd to the Chair, Bro. F. C. Joncf!, Qerk.

Received letters from SIX churches, viz; Poplar Spring, Oak HiU, Pilgrims Rest, I clatubba. Pleasant A alley, Hickory" Grove, This being the first session, no essays were read! The following queries were presented, discussed, and answered.

1. When and where was the atonement made? Answer, When Jesus said, - i t i.s finished," and The truth need not be disguised (and I rejoice at

its realization) that among our denommational pa- j bowed his head .ind died—and on the cross, pcrs in the United States, the Tennessee Baptist oc- ! 2. Was Juda.s at the Lord s supper? Ans, cupies the same position that has long been conce- ' " ded to the London Times in the British Isles—it is the thunderer of the press. But potent as your in Uuence has been, you have not yet exercised the powers of the Papal Usurpation ; indeed, I have been much mistaken in you, if you covet in the least degree, the prerogatives of a Pope. A dil&r-ence in opinion, then, is not the imme^ate forerun-ner of excommunication, nor wdl a discussion be-tween, us, of neces.sity, be a -combat to the fune-ral . -

Instead of brandishing the crooked blade of the great leader of the Sarracens, I merely hurl the jjtbbles of the Shepherd-boy of Isreal. .\nd if ever I have vanquished my antagonists, it is because truth has given to those pebbles a crush-ing force which no other principle could impart. This comparison will in the present contest appear the mere appropriate because I am about to enter into a combat with one of the hugest sons of Anak. J . M. Pendleton—a Goliath in intellectual stature, whotc classic pen is more powerful than a weaver's beam—who writes in a good cause with a cogency of argument no sophistry can resist—with a wide range of illustration which nature can give, but which art cannot acquire—and with a ticency pro-portionate to the velocity of a steam power press. This is the man—aiid such the man I propose to an.swi-r. Notwithstanding 1 differ with him on this, and it may be, other questions, I am proud of the relationship when I recognize him as a brother and co-laborer in the. cause of our Savior. If I oppose him. I trust it will be in the same spirit, with which the Apostle'of the Gentiles withstood the deft-ciion of thi; messenger to the circumcision.

attempted to deduce his authority, have also been open for my perusal. This fact will acquit me from the presumption of having determined to review a production I have not seen. This presumption, in political controversy, im"ght be regardrf as over-weening—but in disputations on the Inspired writings, it is not only excusable; but more, it can be justified. Nevertheless I am open to conviction by the reasoning of the author of -'.^n Old Land-mark Reset."' And should his argument produce that efTect, the change m my opinion will be frankly acknowledged.

Of my relation to some of the Pedobaptists you are well aware. Some pages that have appeared, other pages which have not appeared in your col-umns, furnish demonstrative proof that 1 have no special love to some of the Methodists. Though I have been attacked and persecuted, yet I have been sustained by the consoling consciousness that such assaults and such persecution were not authorized by our holy religion—rthat the mere worldly honor of carnal men would repudiate and disdain them. Those pages also show that I wotdd not court the Methodists—and when the evils of their system be-came apparent in the conduct of its advocates—in other words, when.men, who profess to be followers of Jesus Christ, diverge from the direct path of Christianity to ape the character, copy the career and play the fantastic tricks of John Wesley, then I neither feared nor fear to tear off the veil from deformity and expose the true tendency of Metho-dism. Nor do I court them now—bnt let the truth have utterance. I have found, I do know, so far as I can judge of motives by the profession—of cha-racter, by the conduct—of the heart, by the con-versation—so far as I can judge by these criterions, I do know many preachors and laymen m the Meth-odist church entitled to my esteem, love and fenera-tion on account of the christian order of. their lives. And if I esteem them, love them, venerate them, .shall I not extend the hand of a brother? And when I give the Aind of a brother, should I not re-joice to hear them speai of the excellency of the re-ligion of Christ? And hearing them speai, ought I not to Irish others to hear the some "good news '? And entertaining this vrish, should I not invite them • Pedobaptist though they be—into our pul-pits! Reason, consistency, policy, as well as the scope and design of the christian system, demand this invitation at appropriate times to pious Pedo-baptists. Reason, consistency, policy, as well as the teachings of God's word, will sustam mc when I take up the gauntlet thrown down by Bro. Pen-dleton. and accept the whole issue tendered by him. Nor can I be taunted into a change of belief by pomting to the course of some Methodists. "What if some of them do fear to hear the whole truth—if they endeavor to discredit my ministry—absent themselves from my meetings or make me the sub-juct of detraction and calumny?—Would I be jus-tified in classing all in the same category. Those who refuse to hear the whole of Christ's gospel—or who receive John Wesley as Christ's sole interpre-ter, may suffer the loss of knowledge, perhaps of jialvation—they may excite emotions of pity, but never nf anger.

I remain your brother in Christ, Hawes H. C o u f i x .

li.Klt' 11-1:1.1 A very singular use is often made of this pi.'Kage

by those who wish to prove that bapti.sm is not im-mersion, and especially that the Eunuch wa.s unly sprinkled by Philip, when •'they both went down into the wa te r " - Arts. 7: The curious argu-ment proceeds on the assumption, that the ordi-nance of baptism is foretold m thi;sc words, and that, consciucutly- as the Ethiopian officer of that State had been reading this iioruon of Isaiali. the ceremony must have consisted in sprinkling. But how they make out that thv prophet has n fcrcnce to baptism, does not appear, even if wc grant the correctness of the translation. tho eminent writers that approve of the common version, under-stand sprinkling-, wiuh blood and nut with water, and consider the language as e.\;)rcssive of expia-tion for sin by the Jlessiah and conse<|Ucntly hav-ing no reference to the christian rite. This inter-pretation ccrtiunly agrees well with other passages in the prophets; but yet it does not suit the contc.xt. for there is an evident correspondence, or paralle-lism between this and the foregoing verse. What is rendered sprinkling here stands iu antithesis to being astonished in Uie preceding member of the parallelism, thus: aa many were astonished at Uiee

(or him.) so shall he sprinkle many nations, i c . But what correspondence or opposition can bt con-ceived between astonished and sprinkling? Mani-festly none. Hence n e naturally su.spcct some de-fect in the translation, and seek a more appropriate meaning. .VnJ we find, on examination, that an-other rendering may be adopted, and has actually been adopted by the must learned modem transla-tors of Isaiah. Cesenius; with whom also De Wette coincides almost word for word, gives a German translation of the whole, which may be render-ed;

"Just as now, many are shocked at nim, (.so marred before men in his visage and his form be-fore the children of men.) so shall many nations ex-ult on his account, before him kings shall shut their months; for what was never told them they shall see, and what they never heard, shall they per-ceive.''

In this version the parallelism is plain and natu-ral: for exulting stands opposed to being shocked. This improvement of the translation cannot fail to commend itself to an intelligent reader of Scripture, especially if he is aware that the term in the origi-nal warrants the change.

It is worthy of notice, that in the Septuagint, which the Eunuch was most probably reading, and from which the quotation in .Vets is made, the clause is rendered, .so shall many nations wonder at him.

le gati ' his church? Were the foundations of his

kingdom laid in sand, that it yielded to the storms of persecution which befell it during the reign of the Man of Sin? Or did the church exist and stand, as firm as the rock of its foun-uation ' And 1855, where was it in that long and dreary night, from the levclaCiuu of the Sou of Perdition until the Reformation of the sizteenth century. These inquiries demand serious consideration and satisfactory answers.

I t will not do, by way of response, to urge the existence of an "invisible church." This is to evade and not to meet the difficulty. The Savior did not build an "invisible c h u r c h " upon the " r o c k " confessed by Peter. The Church of Christ on earth is visible. The light of the gospel was not given to be put under a bushel. The Church of the lledeemer is as a city set upon a hill, whose light cannot be hid. It stands upon Mount Zion with the ci'aseless and exhaustless effulgence of the gospel day pouring perpetually upon its glitter-ing and glorious turrets. And he is wonder-fully endowed, to whose vision that is visible which is invisible ! Besides, it is certain from the positive testimony of the Scriptures, that the adherents of Popery from the beginning, SAW, and hence pursued and persecuted the saints of the Most High—the people or church of the Kedermer—those whofollowed the Lamb whithersoever he went—whowould not worship the beast, neither his image—and who refused to receive his mark upon their foreheads or in their hands. The Presbyterian Confession of Faith (Chap. 25, passim) tells us truly, that " T h e visible church is Catholic under the gos-pel, not confined to any one nation." " U n t o this Catholic visible church," continues the same instrument, " Christ hath given the min-istry, oracles and ordinances of God, for the gathering and perfecting of the saints. In this

life, to the end of the world There shall always be a church on ea-th to worship liod according to his will." These posiiions are abundantly sustained by the Bible. And yi-l it has been too common, even with the most accute and accurate observers, wben casting (heir eyes back through the glo.im ••f the dark ages, to conclude, at the first gl inci-, that ihe altars of Gotl were (hen all cast down, and lhat none were loft as witnesses of the trulh and worshipers of the Most High. Bui upon a more prolonged and careful examina lion, they have been enabled to discern, in the fastni sses of the uiountalns and In the recesses of the wlldcrne.ss, the altar fires of our holy religion burning undimmed in the hearts . . mullitudes who remain unterrlfied by opposi lion and unpolluted by surrounding corruj tioii. These were the people of (iod—his church In the wilderness—vanquished but not .«ubdued, c tsl down but not dtstroyiMl. Like the hush In the vision of the patrian li, tlicy were envel-oped In flames but not consumed. They had Dever worshiped nor wondered after the beaSt, and hence they were cast in the furnace of persecution, heated seven times hott/T than it-"! wont: but like thethroe Hebrew children, they had been wonderfully preserved, and the smell of fire was not found upon their garments.

The Church of Christ, If always visible and if always obedient to the will and word of God, a.-- taught In the Scriptures and asseried in the Presbj t f r ian Confession of Faith, was not identified with the Papal or anti-Christian church, but was distinct from it, and persecuted by It.

Of those who joined the church, 28 were received by baptism: 4 hy letter, and 1 by restoration.

It will 'oe remembered that those two churches have had two years of adversity; but 01 how goo<l is the Lord who will not withhold any good tiling from them that walk uprightly. .\t thi.s meeting, fathers rec^ived tlieir sons, mothers tlieir daughters, wives thdr husbands, h"us' aads their wives, sis-ters their brothers, and brothers their sisters.

truih,the enemy of righteousness and of God She has long lain under the curse of God, who has called his people to come out from her, that they be not partakers of her plagues. I t is tlic unanimous opinion of all the Reformed churches, that the whole papal body, though once a branch of tlie visible Church, has long since become utterly corrupt and hopelessly apostate. It was a conviction of this which led to the Reformation, and the separation of the reformed body from the papal communion. Luther and his coadjutors, being duly ordained presbyters at the time when they left the Rom-ish communion, t^hicU then, though fearfully corrupt, was the only visible church In the country of their abode, were fully authorized by the word of God to ordain successors in the ministry, and so to extend and perpetuate the reformed churches as true churches of Christ; while the conrumaceous adherence of Rome to her corruption.s, as shown In the de-cisions of the Council of Trent, (which she adopts as authoritative,) cuts her off from the \islblp church of Christ, as heretical and un sound. This was the opinion of the reformers; and It is the doctrine of the Reformed church to this day . " This extract fully sustains what we have stated to be ihe doctrine of reforma-tiim; and a few lemarksupon its statement will sulhce, we liurably conceive, to show that It is not only antl-.scriptural, bul suicidal.

First, It is church" was ' Church." Nay, the stalemi nt is even bolder and briiadcr than thU, viz: that the whole papal church ivHs once "the true Church of God visible I" . We are told fur, einniple. that Luther and his coadjutors received valid bap-tism and ordination in the papal church ; and al.sii, "tliat no rite administered by one who is not lilm-'olf a duly oidained minister of the true Church of (iod vUiMe, can be regarded as a mlruster of Christ." So that up to the days of the Ri furm<i;ion at least, "the whole papal church" was ni t only "a branch of the \isiblr I ' l inrcb," but • tin- true Church of (rod V i s i b l e ! " . \nd yet a l l the Reformers tell us, as alresily shown, that that church was from the beginning, .a • horn" or branch of the Ro-man bea.st, was the Man of Sin, and whore of Babylon! Wherein all the Bible is the Papal Churcli represented as a "branch of the Church of Christ •?" Or rather where in the Scriptures is thc-Church of C!hrist represented as having hrnnches' The fourth beast of Daniel had branches or burns, and the .scsriet colored beast upon which the Mothi-r of Harlots was seen ndlug, also had branches; but we no where read that tlie Church of Christ had branches. The Church of Christ with branches is sbter tlclion—the phantom of minds misled bv tradi-il.in I'r else by mere cimcelt. Thepapn ' ' urch wa.. never the true Church of God vlsi It never had any connection with that t. liurch. Daniel saw It come out of the head of the Hom:tii beast. Its first appearance showed its true character. The first words it uttered were bla.sphcmy—"it spake great words against the Most High." Paul behelil its revelation, and it was revealed "the Man of Sin and Son of Perdition." And when John first saw it, It was "the Mother of Harlots and abominations of the earth." When then, we ask, was It ever " a branch of the Churchof Chr i s t ! "— when could it ha \c been "the true Church of (iod visible?"

Seconil, The Reformed Churche.s, it appears, confess their descent from the Romish church. From that church they received their ministry and their baptism. The Romish church l.s the Mother, and the Reformed churches are her daughters. They derived their existence from her. And thus, we suppose, that saying of the prophet is fulfilled—the Romish church is " the mother of harlots ! " The Reformers by their own doctrine, as laid down bv the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church, are re-duced to the unenviable alternate of unchurch-ing themselves; or elfe of making the humili-almg confession, lhat their churches are the unhallowed offspring of the mother of abomina-tions! Either horn of the dilemma Is suicidal lo thoir pretension? of being churches of Christ.

Third, Granting that Luther and his coadju tors were duly ordained presbyters in the Romish church, which was then not merely "the only visible Church in the countries of their abode," bul necessarily "the true Church of God visible," as wo have shown to bo the reformed • doctrine expounded vt supra, and

•what then Why, It follows of course, lhat Lulher and his coadjutors in leaving the church iu which they were "duly ordained presbyters." left "the true Church of God visible!" This is as palpable as the sun in the heavens. But the end is not yet. For if this church could "duly ordain," she could duly depose them. How then could Luther and his coadjutors be "fully authorized by the word of God to ordain succes.sors in the ministry," seeing that the church which made them ministers—aye, "the true Church of God visible"—had deposed them from office and solemnly excluded them from fellowship ? The authority for deposition and exclusion is as ample and as divine as that for ordination and initiation. Nay, it Blatters not as to the source of the power—whether from heaven, earth or hell—it must have been just asefl'ect ual in the one case as the other— in unmaking as in making ihem ministers; and in excluding them from, as In receiving them into "the true Church of God visible." These conclusions appear lo us to be natural and irresistible. If the Romish church was the true Church, then the founders of the Reformed churches were deposed and excommunicated; and if she was not, then they have no ministry, no ordinance, no ecclesia-stical existence. If she was not the Church of Christ, then they are not the churches of Christ, themselves being witnesses. We do not gather grapes of thorns, nor figs of thistles. A coi rupt tree does not kcar good fruit; nor does a bitter fountain send forth pare streams.

We have shown fixjm the Scriptores, as interpreted by the Reformers themselves, that the Papism is neither the Church nor a branch of the Church—that by both prophets and apostles, it was regardedas anti-Christian in its origin and its progress;—waging unremitting and unrelenting warfare upon the institutions of ihe gospel, and upon the s«nts of the Most High;—without any promise of reformation,

-and doomed to utter and everlasting destruction and Eolat ion . "Another angel came down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory, and lie cried mightily with a strong voice saying, Bab;^on (Papism) is &llen! is fallen! and ia bMome the habitation of demons, and tbe hold of eveiy foul spirit, and a cage of every uoclean and hatefalhiid."

The church of Luther is now notoriously corrupt in doctrine. Its apostasy is as marked and as melancholy as that of the Papacy. A specious infidelity is now procliimed by eccle-siastical dignitaries in the very places where Luther t iught the sublime mysteries of salva-tion by faith in Jesus Christ. The successors of the great Reformers deride the doctrines and narratives of the evangelists and apostles; and profess to be the devotees of reason in opposition to revelation ! The Lutherans, therefore cannot be regarded as thetrue church of Christ ; and especially that church which was pdivued and persecuted from the origin of Papism until the reformation of the sixteenth century.

Nor can the Presbyterian Church with the least show of truth and justice, claim to have 'always been a church on earth, worshipping God according to bis will.' To say the least, the foundations of that church, in modern times, were laid by John Calvin. Had Calvin not come, so far as human sagacity can perceive, Presbyterianism would never, n i, never 1 have been brought out of mystical Babylon. The most stalwart defender of the German ecclesi-astical polity pretends to find no traces of Presbylerlanlsn when mystical Babylon was drunken with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jt-sus. Zuinglc, and Calvin, and Beza, and Kno.v, and kindred contemporary writers, were all bom of the " mother of harlots"—were nursed in her lap and nurtured at her breasts—were baptized, confirmed, and ordained by her polluted hands, and they claimed in this opposition to be only the reformers of her abuses, and not the des-troyers of her existence. They admitted their descent from her. They rejoiced in the name of reformers; thereby conceding that Papal Rome was the true church of Christ in a state of apostacy. Besides, Presbyterianism, like Lutheranism, sought, iu the beginning, the adulterous union of Church and Suite, li was established by the sword, in Geneva, and in Scotland. Its foundations were lalJ iu blood. It was the enemy of religious liberty. True to the family interests, it peVmltted no one, on peril of severe pains and penalties, to doubl ur distrust the dogmas of it.s creed. In Geneva, in Scotland, in England—wherever it hr.s bei n l>eimilted to reign in all the plenitude of lis power—inicleranccand persecution have mark-ed its pathway. In e\ury place and al all times, when exercising in full fruition its char-acter, lis cane r lia< her n stnini il with nppns--slon and blood !

She left many relatives who monm not as those that have no hope. May t i e Lord bless them and enable them to follow the holy example she has left them; that it may also be said of them when they depart this Ufe, they have entered the rest that re-mains for the people of God.

J. S. C,

Departed this life in Newton County, Mo., on the 27th day of August 185.5, sister Nancy Herrall, consort of Benjamin S. Herrall, and daughter of Joel and Susannah (Jhitwood, formerly of Franklin CJounty, Tenn., but now residents in B:trry County, Mo.

Sister Harrell professed religion and was baptised into the fellowship of Prosperity church, by Elder A. May on the ord Sabbath in August 1847. She was married to Mr. Herrall on the I2th day of Au-gust 1848. She wa.s in her 31st year when she died. Sister Herrall has been laboring under an old chronic disease for .several years past. She was taken with Typhoid fever and in a few days bid a final adieu to a fond husband, father, sisters, broth-ers, and a large circle of friends and relative-s. Her last moments were spent in exhorting her husband and brothers to meet her in heaven. Wiih a meek and calm resignation she fell asleeji in .Fcsus. in the confident hope of a blessed immortality.

To speak of sister Nancy's many virtues and christian character, wnnld a poor tril'ute lo her worth; they are ludelibly engraven in the hearts of her bereaved husbaml, relatives and friends who can never cease to cherish the memory of one so amiable and blameless in all the-relations of Ufe.

May the dying exhortations of the sainted wife and sister be heeded by the aflhctcd husband and brothers; and may they seek to enter into that rest which remains for the peopU of Gr)d, and secure with her a portion of tliat inheritance reserved for the saints in glory.

were surroundetl, lovrd and loaged for the light and rejoiced in the truth—is amply attested by the records of the past. The most purblind r.an see on ihe sky of Papal domination, here iind there a star twinkling through tbe gloom, revealing more palpably tbe dark and dreary night upon which they shed their unavailing splendor. These lights were the exceptions: the darkness [was the rule. They were not parts of the Papal system; they existed and sparkled in spite of it. But the friends of truth, whether few or many, extent by contact with her abominations, were not regarded by "holy men of o ld" as those who, when the Man of Sin reigned and rioted over the deluded and down-trodden nations, refused him allegiance and endured the consequences of his tierce indignation. While, therefore, there were doubtless many identified with the Romi.sh Church whom Crtid regarded as his people, and whom he warned by his prophets to come out of her, lest they should be made partakers of her plagues in the hour of her doom and deso-lation ; yet it is clear that they were not repre-sented as the Church of the Redeemer, which never was a part and portion of the Papism— which never sustained any relationship to the Mother of Harlots. Te deny this, is to disgard the visibility of the Church, and render the promise of God of none efl'ect. Cut tlie history of the true Church is obscure and exceedingly difficult to trace. The Scriptures so intimate. She was lo be concealed m the wilderness; and the world was to be filled with the admira-tion of her cruel and unrelenting foe. The world would wander after the beast, and reel intoxicated with the wine of the fornication of Mystical Babylon. Thus teaching us, in sym-bolical language, lhat the true Church of Christ should attract little of the world's atten-tion ; and that even the historian would find more to admire and record in the career of her persecutors, than in her own (luiet, unpretend-ing and despised existence. This was the prophe.sy,—how exact an wonderful its fiilfiil-mentl

The Scriptures having foretold the preserva-tion of the true Church during the world's mid-night, when Popery was the world's despot, it IS now our business to prove from history the fulfilment of the prediction. Were there professed Christians clurine that priod, then, possessing the characteristics of the Crurch of Christ, and existing distinct from the Papism, and persecuted by it ? And if so, W H O W B R «

TiisY ? In answering this question, we shall assume for the present the existence of such Christians; and shall procced, in the first place, to show who Ihey were not.

They were not the LnTUKRANs. Until the sixteenth century, there existed nobody of chris-tians having the form of doctrine and ihc ecclesiastical polity of the Lutheran church. This church was founded by Martin Luther. He was a reformer of the church of Rome. He proclaimed himself such. The end and aim of his eventful and useful life had no other extent than to purge the Romish church of iU impunties in.precept and practice. He regard-ed her as the true church of Christ in a lasped 8tat« ; and he looked upon Hmself as sent for her elevation to those pure and primitive heights from which she had -BOialnentablj- fallen.— This restoration he fondy supposed he had effected in the estaTjIwhwent of A e re/ormerf church bearing his name. But we have shown that the reformation of the Papism is absurd Md anti-scriptural. Luther refused to worship P® beast, (Kev. 13. paSSim,) but he made iU image beast, and 'caused that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.' He subverted so far as be could, the

church bylaw established forages, and had his own recognised in its stead. Kie Lutheran church is a political co-ecclesiastical MtebhshmenL I u career proves that it is the daughter of the mother of harlots." It U. or rother w u . purer in doctpne and in dis-ciphne t ^ the Papism; but its spirit is equally c r ^ ^ p l e a t i n g . I u history is blacken^ with the foul blote of persecution. Where it IS estaWiahed by Uw, it denies to rata Uie right to worship God according to the dictatcaof conseiOTce. It forbids that any should buy or sell mless they bear the impress of its mem-^rrt i j^ ETenjwostUutes must produce certi-fieafea that they are regular niJaiber»«f the chureti, in order to obtiun fieense for the house*

.Mrs. Nicer Herrall.

Departed this life in Newton county, Mo., on the 10th day of September 1855, sister Nicey Herrall, consort of John Herrall, in the 42nd year of her age, of Typhoid Fever.

Sister Herrall has been a consistent and faithful member of the Baptist church for the last 25 years. She professed religion and was baptised into the fellowship of Bcthphage church, Franklin County, Tenn.: and in a short time was married with Bro. John Herrall; and in a few years they emigrated with her father, Joel Chitwood, to Barry County, Mo. Sister Herrall suffered some three weeks, but she bore her atUiction with christian fortitude; feel-ing a- deep interest for the welfare and salvation of her children and friends. She left an atfeetionate husband and seven children, and a large circle of friends to monm tlieir loss. But we feel assured their loss was her eternal gain. Thus has fallen asleep a loving wife, and a fond mother. The church has lost one of its brightest examples and the neighborhood one of its best neighbors. May her friends and children take her counsel,and be prepar-ed to meet her where parting will be no more.

Also, on the 1st of September 1855, Stephen, the eldest son of brother and sister Harrell, of Typhoid fever, in the 20lh year of his age.

ilira Elizabeth L. Wiles.

Departed this life in Yazoo County, Miss., Oct, 11, lJ<5o, sister Elizabeth Leonora, consort of broth-er W. W. Wiles, aged 26 years, 8 months, 19 days.

She was a member of the church of Christ at Hebron, near five years, and lived the hfe of a con sistent and pious christian. She had been decli ning in health for near three years, and often spoke of death as the gate to endless joys. She retained her mind to the last, and bore her sufferings with christian patience. When her friends were around her shedding the tear of affcclion and sympathy, she beckoned to them (as she cotJd not speak) to dry the tear of grief, and clasped her hands as in expectation of meeting her blessed Savior in a few hours. She leaves to mourn her loss an affectionate husband, a fond mother, two devoted brothers, and many other dear friends; but they mourn not as those who have no hope, for their loss is her eternal gain.
