In the Ea-st, the rivers, in the diy season, are little more than fleeting streams, and sometimes thev are entirely evaporated by the powerful action of the sun's rays. The rainy seasons come, and the beds, forsaken by the ancient rivers, begin to receive their annual tribute from the fruit&tl clouds, and the mountain torrent, rolling in its accus-tomed channel, causes the streams to re-turn again, changing the sandy waste into the majestic river, raising the sower's hopes, replenishing the parched land with the lond desired verdure, and man and beast again rejoice in the ear.h 's abundance. Thus prayed the pious Psalmist : " Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the sou h ; " (hat as the inhabitants of these sultry regions r-rjoice in the return of the reviving streams, so we, restored tcr our beloved country and temple, may rejoice in the long expected deliverince.— W. Brovm.

He speaker h with his feet, he teacheth with his] finder..—Prov. vL 11. [

I i shoid 1 be remembered that when peo-ple are in their hoaxes, they do not wear sandals; consequently '.heir feet and toes are exposed. When guests wish to speak with each o her, so as not to be observed by the hast, they convey heir meaning by the feet and toes. IXoes a person wish to leave a room in company with another, he lifts up one of his feet, and should the otlier refuse, he al-o lifts up a foot, and then sud-denly puts it down on the ground. I

"He teacheth wi:h his fingers." When merchants wish to make a bargain in the presence of others, without making known their terms, they sit on the ground, having a piece of cloLli thrown over the lap, and they put each a hand un ler, and thus speak with the fingers. When the bramirs con-vey religioui my-teries to their disciples, they teach with their titigers, having their hands concealed in the folds of their robes, j ^ R o b e r t s . I

[cONTINrED.] Mr. HiJipman cnmmences Chap'er XV,

of his book, with the followin;' Ian Tia^e: " In this chi ip 'erwe shall make our main

issue on the terui bti/itUo. Our position is, that p.iuring, sprinkling, immersing, drown-ing, washing, and overwhelming were de-nominated by it, in, the past ages, by the lights of ihe world. • • • • « • We .said iliiit pouring was espres.sed by the term i f j j ci:o. Aurelius Pruileniius, A. D. 330, spuke uf John as baptizing by pour-ing WHt< r—" j 'er fundit flavio." I'aulinus, bisl.op i>f Niila, about tlie same date, re-pre-enti-l Jolin as baptizing by pouring wa:er—• iifusii lympkla."

Aurel us Prudentius was a Latin poot, and his opinion as here given h.is evidently mure poc ry than truib in it. Paulinus was al-o ihe author of some L;i:in poems, and l.e tlouri-lied as a writer in llie begin-ning of the fifth ei-niury, and died A. D. 4.31. Sir.ie of ihese Latin fa;]iii-s wt-re verj- vi ionarv. and iliey wi re fern 1 of uld wives' fillies, and llu ir nitre opinions jios-se s but little value. They are generally faithful wi;nes.ses of ftHcts, and when intro-duced in that chanic'er, I shall reciive their testimony as honest men, but I will neither receive their inferences from their own facts and premi.ses, nor their npinions, farther than tlie rationale of them is obvi-our to myself. In this way I receive evi-dence and use it. The mere opinions of Aurilius Prudentius and Paulinus of the fourth and fifth centuries, can have but lit-tle weight in settling the proper action oi Christian Bapti.sm.

Let us now hear Mr. Chapman's next wit-ness:

"Bernard, when he .<poke of the baptism of the Saviour by John, said, "The crea-ture poured water on the head of the Cre-ator ."

Bernard, abbot of Clairvaux, was bom in A. D. 1U9J, and diee in A. D. l lo .T— I t is recorded of him, that he founded 160 monasteres. wrought innumerable mira-cles, and bci-aine one of the great saints of the Romi-h coramuniun. See Ency-clopedia ot Religious Knowledge, and Bio-graphical Dictionary, p. 67. Tlie mere opinion of a Roman Catholic Monk, of the 11th and 12ih centuries, can have but little weight.

We shall now notice, more at length, Mr. Chapmiin's next witness.

" W e shall now hear Origen, the learned, Greek father, on this point, who says,— "How came you to think that Elias, when he should comc, would btiptize. who did not, in Ahab 's time, baptize the wood upon the altar, which was to be washed before it was bunit by the Lord's appearing in fire? Bu". he ordered the priests to do that; not orce only but says do it the second time; and they did it the second time: and, do it the third time; and they did it the third time. I ' e , therefore, that did not himself ba^rizethen, hut assigned that work to others how was he likely to baptize, when he, ac-cording to Malachi's prophecy should come'" (See Wall 's His t of Inf. Bap. vol. 2. p. 332.) Elijah simply had the wood wet by an act of. pouring. (See 1 E n g s 18: 33.)

Origen was bom in A. D. 185, and he died in A. D. 2')3. Rice says, (Debate, p. 90ff.) "Origen. and some other of the Christian ministers of the third and follow-ing centuries, it is admitted fell into some serious errors. They lived in an age of prevailing .superstition. The fact that they may have been pious notwithstanding their errors, is no reason why men holding such errors should now be permitted to enter the ministry."

Origen, then. Mr. Rice being the judge, held such errors, that even admiting him to be a pious man, if he lived now, holding the same stndmenLs. he ought not to be put into the ministry.

In the Encyclopedia of Religious Knowl-edge, under the article OrigenisLs, Origen is spoken of as " a man of great talents, and a most indefatigable student; but hav-ing a strong attachment to the Platonic philosophy, and a natural turn to mystical and allegorical interpretations, he thereby greatly corrupted the simplicity of the gos-peL His genuine works were interpolated, and others written under his name, in or-der to forge his sanction to sentiments, of which possibly he never heard ."

The passage in question, then, may be one of tba% interpolatiqps, a pure forgery, intended to give his sanction to sentiments, of which possibly he never heard.

Admitting, however, for the sake of ar-gument, the genuineness of the passage, it

does not necessarily follow, that Origen ' In Jowphus (Antiq. 14 ,22 , ) God is men-calls the pouring, a baptizing.

jthage: "And no man need, therefore, think j olherwi.se, because these sick people, when they receive the grace of our Lord, have nothing but an aftusion or sprinkling; when as the Holy Scriplure.s, by the prophet I Ezekiel, says: 'Then will 1 sprinkle clean

, water upon y o u . ' " (See Wall 's Hist, of I Inf Bap., pp. 357, 358.) It is worthy ol ^

; remark here, that si.x y-si.x bi hops united ' with Cyrian in the opinion, that ^jrinkling'

, was expressed by the term haj ti-o. Jose-I'hiis, sp-aking of boj tizo, as found in Luki ' xi, 38, said, it ".seems to be u-ed concern- '

iing WMshiiig of hands, which w.ts done by i -prinkliiig." Cypri.-in, wl.cn spcakin,' ol liose who had been baptized by allusion, '

In regard to the here Rsctibed ! t o j o - i jhus , I would rcniaik, that 1 havi ,4lica(!y sl.own in Chap er VIII . of 'his !?,•-view, that Mr, Chapman litis llji ns'c I Ian _;uagc into the mou;h of JOM J'IIUS whii-h he never wrote. No such passaj^c can be

. found in his writings. On the testimony of Cyprian, I would

remark, that sprinkling in hi^ dsy was a rare practice, even in cases of sickness, and it was introduced about that time, as .-in r.xpedicnt in cxtrenic c.i-ps. wl.i re b:if.ti-ni could not be tidministeicd.

By the following it will appe;4r tlmt win n sprinkling and pouring irert first intrvdurrd it was onlv in the case of th'ise who wer" dangerously sick.

Neandcr. vol. 1, p. 3G I. rr-niarks, "Only with the sick was there an exception" in re-gard to immersion.

Winer, in his lectiites on .Vrch;ti i logy, in manu.script says, "Afli'usion was at l irstaj -plied only tu the sick, but w,is graduHllv in-troluced for others, after the sc\«n'li cm-turv, and in the thirteenth became the pre-vailing practice in the West, Bti' tl.i- Eas-tern Church has retained imniersii.n alone as valid,"

Von Coin, inbis new edition of Mnnscher. and also Munscher himself, observe, "onlv with the sick was baptism administered by asjiersion."

Geiscler's Ch. Hist. Ger. Ed. vol, 2. p. 274. "For the sake of tlie sick the rite of sprinkling was introduced."

Du Fiesne's Lat. Glossary on the word Clinic. "From the custom of baptizing by pouring or sprinkling the sick, w ho could not be immersed, (which is pnipir bap-tism,) was introduced the cusioin which now prevails in the Western i huri l i ."

Sprinkling was introduced for ihe benevo-lent purpose of .saving souls. f,ir wi;hout bap'ism it was thought none could be saved; yet so absurd did it apju ar to the Chris-tians of that age, that many of them rejec-ted it as wholly inadmissible in anv case or for any purpo.se

We wdl now proceed to show, that the practu e of pouring and sprinkling thus in-trotluced, WAS NOT AT THAT TIMK SCPPORTED

O.N T H E GROU.ND OF TBADITIO.V, OR APOSTOLIC

PRACTICE. If this is shown, we need con-cern ourse!ves but little about Jie history of subsequent times.

Cornelius, bishop of Rome, in Eusebius' Ch. His t 6, 43, says, "Novatian was bap-tized by affusion, while sick in his bed, if it is proper to say such an one was baptized.'^

Valesius says, " A s baptism properlv sig-nifies immersion, perfusion could scarcely be called baptism." The form of this ex-pression does not allow us to suppose, that

' Cornelius merely called in question the I genuineness of his faith; he evidently re-garded the baptism in itself as imperfect

Magnus enquired of Cyprian, (seeEpist. 76) whether persons thus baptized "were to be regarded as legitimate Christians, in-asmuch as they were not baptized by bath-ing, but by affusion." (eo quod aqua sal-utari non loti sunt sed perfusi.) Cyprian is not prepared to give a decisive answer, but expresses his opinion, and says each

I one must settle this question for himself— His own views are thus stated; "When there is a pressing necessity, with God's in-

I dijgence the holy ordinance, though out-wardly abridged, confers the entire blessing

I on those who believe." (necessitate co-gente, et Deo indulgentiam suam largiente,

; totum credentibus, conferunt divina com-, pendia.) We have given Neander's trans-j lation, as the two last words cannot be e i -I pressed in English, without a paraphrastic I rendering. Wall has translated this pas.sage as he has many others, so as to cover up its true meaning. In the same letter, Cy-prian, speaking of those who supposed them-

selves "empty and devoid of a blessing, because they were not immersed but mere-ly sprinkled," says, "let them not imagine, that they can be rebaptin-d When they re-cover." i

"We ask, could all the.sc remarkable cir-cumstances have existed, if the whole church regarded sprinkling as apostolic in its origin, and consequently of equal au-hority with immersion"? Could Magnus

have proposed such a question, could Cy- ^ jirian liave gi'ven such ar. answer? Why lid not the prsc ice and tradition of the

church satisfy Ma,'nus? Why fli t not Cy-I'rian bring it up in rej lv? Why in his I argument to shnw the validity of sprinkling, di.l he nut attempt to prove it I'nim the practi.e of the primi'i\e church, • •r from ti e n Tesiami nt, either direct-ly or indirectly"? The ca-- rcqnircJ such a defence, and Cyprian felt it, and not be-oi' ' able to dcmon.stra e any thing, he left • very one to his own views; and yet, wish-ing to find some supjiort, resorted to the Old Testament, and to the nature of puri-fication, To these, these alone, and noth-ing e l s e did he Bjipeal. Besides, if sprink-ling was a divine ordinance, what need of any "urgent necessity," or (what is still niore strange,) "divine indulgence," in or-der lu make it pass? What does he mean by that antithesis of an abridged form, but a tUal result? In l.is time, antiquity bad not thrown sufficient obscurity around prim-itive usages, to have it enter his thoughts that the Apostles must have sprinkled for want of water in some ca.ses, and of time in others. Let it be observed, too, that even in clinic baptism, an eflort was made to im-

• tate. as far as possible, the act of immer-sion. It was nut tlie aspersion of a few drops of water on the face, but pouring wa-ter all around the body, ns the words ^•eri-rhut/iei.i and perfusvs show.

As Cyprian is the father of pouring and sprinkling in baptism, we wi.sh the reader to notice the slender foundation on which he built. The whole superstructure reared upon his foundation, is like an inverted cone. Leviiical sprinklings from the Old Testament, (Ez. k. 36:25, Numb. 19:19,) Hud the moral import of cleansing, without preteniiing to a word from Christ or his .Vpostles, or to their practice, or to tradi-tion, or to current usage, in his favor, he makes .be basisof his system. He ii> there-fore in no sense of the word, a witness to its apostolical orii^in, but a mere reasoner. There has been egregious misapprehension, or misrepresentation, by certain Pedobap-tist writers, on this whole subject The reader can now pei-ceive some of the rea-sons which have induced almost the entire body of modem German critics, our teach-er and guides in Biblical learning and an-tiquities, to decide, though against their own practice, in our favor. The rea.soning adopted in this country, bv the abettors of sprinkling, is ridiculed openly in the Ger-man L iiiv- rsities."

Cyprian answers it as a new que; t on, ad-mits that it is a "short woy" to admini.ster the ordinance, and intimates that it would be utterly unjustifiable except in cases of immediate danger of death, and he does not intimate that anything of the kind is taught in the New Testament, or i.'" implied in the meaning of the word baptizo. And he justifies it on the ground of necessity; thus, at least, making it an exception to a general practice. SAMUEL BAKER.

[ T O BE C O S T I K C E D . ]

• I -WILL PRAISE THEE, FOR I AM FEAP-FTLLY AND WONDERFTLLY MADE." No poet seems to have had a more ex-

quisite appreciation of the grandeur and sublimity of the mighty works of God, than did the ".sweet singer of Israel." And having surveyed the wide spread field of inanimate creation, and given vent to the feelings of his soul in strains of fervent and

: eloquent devotion, he turned his eye on ' man, and addressed the great Creator of this his noblest work on earth—'• I will praise Thee, for I am fearfully and wonder-

' fully made." In contemplating man, let us advert to

his physical nature. As a piece of mecha-nism, the body is perfect in all its parta, complete in all its complications ; fully an-swering the designs for which it was cre-ated. A superficial study of it woujd not enable us to form any adequate idea of its beauty and symmetry. On in.specting the mouth and throat, we are filled with admi-ration at the wonderful contrivance effected by the Divine Being, who thus provides for

I the stistenance of the body. The same con-' summate skill pervades the whole system. ] Take, for instance, the eye, which is so ad-mirably and delicately formed, and which

J s to us an inexhaustible source of delight It enables ns to view the beings and objects that surround us, to look np to the ethereal

J space bespangled with its glittering host, to gaze upon scenes whose glorious beauty en-

trances the hear t - This is beautiful in it-self ; but many of the sweets of life would

• be lost wi.hout the ear, that curiously form-ed organ, by means of which ire listen to the notes of gladness poured forth by tliou-sand warblers of the fky. Grace and mo-tion RrB given to the hand, vhich enable* us To provide fur the sustenance of the bo-dy, as well to change the wildest scene to one of beauty and grandeur, and to perform

' works which endure for ages. By its d - f 'icrity, it constntct- instmraenL^ which can penetrate the starry realms, pn l disclose to our enr.iptured view myriads nf worlds, whose magnificence excites in us feelings of adoration and praise, while we involuntarily exclaim, " O Lord, how manifold are Thy works ; in wisdom hast Thou made them a l l " ' These constitute a part only of the system which composes our material frame. But the whole would be usele.ss, without that mysterious principle of life which gives motion, beauty and efficiency to the whole. What this is, it is beyond our limited pow-ers to ascertpin. Man this life in com-mon with other created b( :ngs around him. The smallest insect lives and moves and performs its various operations, •with a i much readine.ss as man.

But what demands our special attention is man's intellectual nature. This is some-

I thing wliich raises him above the l e v e l of ' the brute, and makes him approximate to his Creator. This is distinct from the ani-

. mal body. This can reason, fear, joy and sorrow, in total absence of things external. To this, we give the name, mind. It» powers are at first quite limited, but tliey are enlarged and strengthened, until stand-

; ing on the summit of the hill of science, man can bring down the lightning from the skies, draw knowledge from the depths of tne earth, and make all nature join in an-swering his high behests. " He touches a harp, and nations bear entranced." But few rightly improve the talents that are gi-

' ven ihem. Many, alas, yield their powers I to wickedness, and the restdt is misery.

In the next place, man's moral nature claims our attention. According to the

. number of the talents committed to our care, so are we increasingly responsible.—

' Every one is conscious that bis intellectual and moral nature is distinct from the ma-terial part. Yes, tliis will survive the wreck of the body ; this will dwell in eternal joy, or be banished from the blissful regions.— Wonderful as is the mechanism of the bo-dy, yet it is infinitely inferior to the soul. " A s the Heavens are high above the earth," so great is the superiority of the soul to the

, robe of mortality in which it Ls vested. It is that which is capable of infinite joy or unutterable woe. To glorify our Maker, and to enjoy Him forever, should be the grand object of our lives. Though our na-ture is sinful, yet there is a way through which we can be prepared to dwell in the presence of the King of Glory. It was to secure this happiness, that tlie .sin of the world was laid on Him. To be our Advo-cate with tlie Father, He ascended to His Heavenly mansion. How bles.sed are those who accept of this ransom I How calmly and peacefully wdl they approach their ha-ven of rest ! When their disembodied spi-rits shall ascend to glory, they will be wel-comed by the heavenly host, and as their King receives them with the plaudit, "Well done, ye good and faithful servants, enter ye into the joy of your Lord." every harp will be struck, and every voice join in the chorus. Amen ! Then clapping their glad wings, they will shout, " Hosanna in the highest, worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and -honor and glory and blessing." Then will their happy spirits join in a song far more glorious than even the seraphim sing: " He redeemed ns by

; his own blood."

j But there will come a time when the sanctified soul and the glorified body will be united; for the graves will be opened, and each will go to receive his just reward,

( O who would not be a Christian ? Who, . for the fleeting enjoyments of to-day would , endure to be bani.sbed from the presence of ; the King of light ? Who would prefer to steep his immortal spirit in sin and wicked-ne.ss, when so high honor and glory are of-

i fered to him ?

I Thus we are wholly tinder the control of ' Omnipotence. He can in any moment de-' stroy our frame, or deprive us of the light of reason. He has a lw given us means by

^ which we may beautify our immortal part, i and prepare jt to enjoy soperior happiaeai in the world of bliss. Therefore let all the

^ world praise the Lord. Praise Him, ye angels of Bght ; ye behold the sufferings of the Heavenly Heir ; ye watched over Him on Calvary, and witnessed with awe the moonung of na ture ; ye saw Him ascend ; and n o v give one long, loud nn^ endlsa* ghont of praise to HLs holy name.

Notwithstanding what Mr. C h a p l written, we do not yet "knuir that th'l tran-slators were immersiontsts.
