I f tho (vmfegsiou Ih inado, basod on tho ntroti}(u9t [lojisiblo conviction, odivation lnHhis rr»8uU. Tho coufoajiau ii but tho voice of the belief.

I. Tlio rightcouBiioss ol iho U w comista in con-formity to the law, and tho rlglitnousnois of faith conaista in a iioiifonsion of Christ, baiod on faith (bolicf) in liitti.

Tho law tnaic&a domandH. Tho«o domandt are mot. T h i » is right in the oyanof tiio latv, and its t<lvooat(}8. I t iH ri)(htcoaHnnHa ilHolf.

Out A very remarkablo explanation of this text has boon given This is i t : T o bolievo unto right-eouatioss Is to apinu to t-igliloousna^s, as ono cotneH t« a tower, to a hoUHe, to a river. A n d timt to confoifl uuto Halvation is to come to salvation, as one eomns to a field, lo a road, to a ehuroli.

In every instance K i n g .lamoH'Version shall bo tho standard. Fiy it let our i.'auHo stand. O r by it lot that cause fall. I big, however, the rlgiii to he govornod by a very simple rnio of interpretation of language, whether tho language be saorod or profan«, namely, the sur-ninndliigs and manner of a word, or expression must dotorraiuo its particular shade of moaning. For instance I exclaim to my friend, as we walks iilong tho mountain path, "Soo that s k n n k ! " Ho i« in doubt as to my meaning, as he lees an animal whioh if once seen is never f<jigotten, RcampinK away. But If we are meeting a third man, and I with peculiar manner, say, "8oo that skunk," he is in no donbl as to my meaning, and yot in one case I moan a very small animal with only the instincts of an animal. In the other a man, intelligent, and iu many respectfl exactly like other men.

Again, " I am going to town" says John. Docs John mean he Is only going to tho oorjiorat? limits ? Tuhn's six year-oid child knows well enough what ho meaHS, that he moans that ho is going into town T o bo sure this sounds rather undignified for aser nion. Hut it muat be remembered that we are deal lug with a childish interpretation of God's word Wlien I hoard tnat very remarkable exposition of

divino truth I went homo, look -i.y N e w Testa n^ent, and began to road, thinking possibly I had from very early life read too little for profit ; but I road passage after patsags, examining each with carf, and the moro I read the more I was astonished at what I had heard. Some of Ihoxo passages I prcHpnt, and ask a careful consldoraiion of them. For if we are only brouglit to righteousness and stlvalion by believing in Jesus and by confessing him, tho sooner wo Qiid it out ttio hotter for im. should do what Is lacking before wo are damuod.

" F o r thcie is uo ditroienco botwoen the J e w and tho O r « e k ; for tiio L o r d over all is rich unto all that call uiwn hiui." "The L D t d ia rich unto all who call upon bim." That is, tho L u r d is rich in their sight, Ijofore thotn, to tlietn, as one comes lo a hotiso? I f that bo so, what is tho dilTtiroiico be-tween tho worst man on earth am' tho host, «o far as tho lord's riohos are ooiicornod ? W h y doss tho man call upon the L o r d , i f his calling only gives hlni a sight of God's riches? T h a t would bo hull tohiin. N o w brought to O ld's riches ho would uovor know his unspeakable loss, I cannot think that G o d would h ,ld out snob a fearful curse to mortals, and call it a blessing.

UOI.GOTHA8. T was l lenrich llnino who said, "Wherever a great soul utters its thought, there Is Golgotha,"

and history is full of illustrations of the t ru th ol this saying. It is easy under tlie dictates of policy and prudence to avoid conflicts with error, and to "koop OHt 01 the melee." But to bo loyal to princl-jiln, and uncoinproinUing and braro in the advo-cacy of t ru th and right, Is perilous to (Kipularity, and, sometinies, even to life. Onnwt io fawns and criiigoE to public sentiment and trims his sails to the shifting wintis of the day can easily escape dmigor, but he will make very littlo progress, and will only win the ignoble distinction of being a mei-o ti mo-server.

The men who have made tho dco(>cst impression on tho world, and who have achievoti tho most for tho race and fur themsolvei are those who havo fearlessly uttered their thoughts und have dared all danger for tho sake of t ru th anil righteousness l lofeir ing to conspicuous instances of this class some one has said : "Socrates, for conteming the false gods of his time, drank tho deadly hemlock, Luthor, denounced by tho popular voice as anti-christ, did not havo a smooth, flowing pa thway through this world. Danto wrote Uis divine d r a m a amid the woes of exile. Tho great truth discovered by Galilio was in his own day deemed heresy wortfiy of doatb. Savonarola, Calvin, Knox, wero popular only with what the world called a dissent-ing rabble, in tho first age of Christianity, tho great souls who dared to utter their thoughts proved tho t ru th of !lein»'s remark. They wero moil "of whom the world was not wortiiy," but "they were stoiieti, they wore sawn asunder, they were tempted, were slain with the s w o r d ; they wandered about In shoop-skins and goat skins, be-ing destitute, atlllcted, t o r m e n t e d .

[ y : A K n A P T I 8 T : - W h y should Bro. P. Oroen

of Arkansas, con.plain of his llro. Tuppor for

not quoting some other passage in God'n word to

(avor intorcommunion than Iho one ho did, " I an-

point unto you a kingdom, that you .nay oat and

drink at my table 1.. my kingdom, an.i sit on

twelve thrones Judging the twelve tribes of Israo 1,"

when It is the very hctt, and only passage those

who agr.io with him can bring against church-

commnnlon, or the best I havo yet heard ol out

hero In North Texas, and wo have so.ua smirt men

out hero? II is stransfo thoy do not see that tho

construction they place upon this passage coutra-

dicts thoir own leachlngs, and upsets thoir own

admissions? Th.-y one a..d all admit that tho sup-

per Is Ktrirdy a cJiurch ordinance, to bo obsorv.td

l)y each cliurol. os such, and thoy one and all deny

that it Is a deuominationa! ordinance, and yet

thoir construction of It makes tho supper a denoini

national ordinance, for (hoy all admit that tho

kingdom inclu dos tho donominatien, i. 0.. ail Bap-

tist churches ought to cat wlierevor tho table is sot

within tho kingdom, or denomination, making tho

ordinance, aa all can see, and ovory candid man

must and will admit,» dononinational ordinance.

A position that proves loo much for them, proves

nothing for tlmm, but overthrows liiom I !

I do not think Baptists havo over shown so much

inconsistency in anything else, as tlioy do touching

tho communion quostiou. Only think for ono mo-

ment of Bro. Ray's plan to guard tho supper from

tho approach of tho unworthy members of other

churches. He says it is tho duty of the oflicers,

deacons, to soo that no unworthy momiier of an-

other church bo allowed to commune, altliough ho

was in good flianding in hi^ own Church, and tho

invitstion had not iioon given lo all who aro in

good standing In any aisUr church. I'han toll some

of them lo take a back seat I Is this consistency ?

Now, I am qnito sure that God's plan will work

without so much friction, t am glad to learn that

I havo a chance to help odncale young mlniaiers

who will bn more oon<ilH»ont. I will d-» it.

The first edition appeared Itirce ysars ago, since which time the sale bat reached no less than fifteen thousand copies, certainly a most remarkable sale for a work iniendMl ouly for those advanced in life. The > japters on the preservation and proper us« of the physical faculties in the decline of life are exceedingly pointwl and practical, and do not in any way detract from the devotional portion of the work, which constitutes the great bulk of th». contents, comprining coutributions from well known writers and carefully aclected oxcorpU from the best writers of tho past aud present.

With thoBO obsorvatlons, whloh It is hopod will

boi'omomboroil as wo passon in this discussion,

we call attontlon to tho following proposition

I. Tho oonfosslbn named In this text is basoil on

tho slroMgeht possible oonvlotion.

Could tho powers of man have roqoiv,«d, with »

roasouablo dogroo of nppioeiallon anjt" strOnKor

thought than is prosontwl in this Berlpluro, no

doubt tho Spirit would have prosoutod it. But,

hero it Is, rH U>at poof nnito mind could oompro-

hoiid, all thai a poor (ihaoklod soul could appreci-

ate.

(a) "With tho heart man hellovoth unto rlght-

oousni'ss; and with tho mouth nonlesslon Is made

unto salvation." (Joufeislon of (h« Lord .Tosua,

which Is rocogulzint? the claims of Clu'ist as Mes-

sl(iH, Iho Iloiloomor of man, is most ompliatieally

Iho rcsnli of helloviiif; with tho heart.

A man may confoss a thousand things, and bo-

liovo nono of thom. Confosslon never rc8Ult« in

iK'llof in the boart or mind of tl 0 ono coiifusslu)?.

abnndanco of Iho hoart tlio month spoakcth-" If

the hoarl l>.i full of a lliinn il sooks uttoranco by tho

I f.ulh. If a man iiollovo in his hoart ton thoii-

Han.l IhiiiKH, he will bo likoly to ooufoss tho groat-

o t number of tliouj possibli. On a like prinnli)lo

in bas.i.l tho dcoloaration often ropoatod with pe-

culiar omphasU: "iNfurder will out." Ilo Who

(lioM hU hands wantonly in human blood gets his

deed lUftd in his heart. Ills deed is an extraordi-

nary lino. Monstrous issues are involved. Some

body's hopes have been blasted, somebody's hearth

stone lias beon draped in mourning. A now made

grave is in tho ccmetery, and It never would have

been there, but for his raih act. Every syllable,

letter and lino, is written lu burning letters on the

very soul. Tho secret chatubers of the heart may

k e e p il for a time. Hut its 8tru,(gle8 towards the

open, froo world are so coiwcles.s, that lu an hour

of agony tho dread eecrot bursts forth.

As tho oak comes from the tiny acorn iu the

earth, and lifts his long arms heavenward, stands

bolore a hundred filortws, the result of tho acorn, so

Iho confession of tho Lord Jesus has stood two

thousand yours before every coucolvable.slorm of

Inlhlellty, tho result of tlio holiol in the heart that

.Jesus WHS the Christ, man's Uedocmer. As cer-

lainly as tho acorn planted in tiic soli, nature's

place for such gorminatlou, results in au oak, so

ocrtainly doe s faith In Christ result In confession.

Hut what if tho man don't confess? He don't be-

llevo nolhiug inore 'nor less.

In this age of ^emi-ohristlanlty all sorts of men-

tal assent and credcnco are called faith. No doubt

multiplied thousands of souls will go downtoover-

lasting sorrows, thinking thoy bollevo In the Lord

.Jesus, while they fall to nola that faith U a thing

that has Its dwelling placo In tho hoart of mau.

If it dwells in tho heart of man. If wo know

what It Is, If wo protend to loll pooplo whero wa

(liid It, wo ought to be able to so describe tho

placo of Its abode as that pooplo will bo likely to

recogalzo It. If wo cannot do this, wo should be

exceedingly careful, lost wo mlsload honest In-

quirers. Bo thon. It Is with a thousand misgivings

that, wo prococ4 In this dlscuaslon. A question

just hero thrusts Itself In our way. It will not got

out of tho way. It demands consideration.

What Ifl tho hoart ?

It is certainly all important to know what is to biD known about tho homo, abiding placo, of faith. Bomo things about It wo may know, othor things vt o can nover know. Tho llguro usod horo is vory strong—"with tlio hoart." Tho physical hoart of man is tho treasure house of life. Touch tho hoart and you greatly oudangor life. From the hoart the II,fo, tho blood, is sent thr<iingh all Ihe body. Lot IMi pulsations oetio and llie is extinot. I t is there* fore regarded as tho center of phyaiifftl lilje and aotivity* While it beau Uie hands do ttholt: work. Lot il oOKse and the hand lies powerless at jhb itde. Willie it acta the eye does lU oilloo. Jlfhfin it ooases lis »otlTltlfl8 tho Byti i i dead. A« l i Is the center of i.lij'»lo»l life, whafkrt Is tho

'pi

' -it'J

term to denote the center of Bplrltual lifte and ac-tivity. As there can b« no physical actlTlty In m^n, except as his heart acts, so there can be no si)Irlinttl activity without the heart (tlio splritoal ctntor) moves. There tho vital foJve is stored. The.-o It receives the InipnUo that sonils it hotird-Ing tiirough every oxtromlty of the orgaulstn.

This inuoh wo know from tho figure uimkI by tho Holy Spirit to eonimnnlcalo to us tho way of over-lasting llle, Wo know of what tho hoart of flesh Is made. Wo know the prlnclp1<iH upon whiah It aeis. Wo know Itji nso In our bodies. Wo know-how upon lis normal condition our very exlstenoo depends. From our knowlwlge of tlioao things we may have a falnl conception of things unseOn, our Spiritual activities and nature. Out U is only a taint coiiceptloa. All man sees o! himself is ina-terial, and ho may wmp'rehend as bo soc^ Bat his spiritual self Is Inniaterial and he can never see It, and can nover know It, but from lis phonotne-lion. The immortal principle in man, call itepirit soul, mind, or anylhlng that any. mind may think desirable. Is boy )nd man's understanding Just as certainly as God is. That principlo is. Indeed the divinity of man. Can nature comjiass natnre'a God ? Can tho material man oomprohond tho lia-malorial mau? (3r, to aocommodato some mlndt that unconsciously loan towards materiallsni, ff the soul (Immortal part) of man does the thlnWtig, retlocting, reasoning, can It reveal Itself, ita rea«on< ing, exactly as it Is lu tho mateHat man? Lot not Intullcctual pride rob tha soul of any of its satis-fiiclion, nor of any of its worth, by arrogating to itself soul-fiiiictlons and onjiKyinonts.

As there has ever boon war among tho (Mople of earth, so there has been conflict between tho mt-torial and tho Immaterial, between the intellect and spirit. Tho Immaterial lu one part of God's Aias sought to displace, or swallow |up, that w h ^ Is tangible and visible. In another part, and oftiin in tho same, tho maierlal has sought to seni to the land ol spooks everything that reaches reason. Mind has lusted analnst spirit, and spirit has lustod against mind. It thus bocomos the one who would at all hazard honor Qod'a word to keep himself from vain specnlstlon. and bo con-tent with what'has beon rovealod. And aUhongh, to think of my immortal part aa In the roalm of tho_ Incomprobcinslblo, may apiroar ib tho worldly minded as a weakness, I should bo contont In suob wcakitoss. For It is far bettor to acknowledge thnn^mo Is in tho dark, than to bo groping about In the blaijk fogs claiming to see, when ovory claim but tolls t»o plainly h"W utterly nnconseious ho is of light It Is Inllultoly hotter, more honorable, worthier of praise, to'stand and gsao on divinity, aiid to wonder and admire, though not by ten t'housMnd tlinus comproUondlngf than to stand olothod in tho hablllmonts of pliilosophy, and loso all tho grandest ooucoptions of tho'soui of man by vain olTorts.to bring It within tho'tnirview of reason. Uoason I to bo sure, is a wonderful ondowmont. I t iii akin to the divine. But tho kinship is ao far off

^hat it Is really vory wnak. More than in anything (tiso it betrays its woaknois in its continuous eObrta to reduce an idea to a iubstauoo, and abstraotioa to

reality.

But U it bo with tho hoart, or in tho hoart, mon believe unto rigiitoousnois, doos tho mind haro nothing to do with it ? This sub'queition impera-iively etllsfbr an answer, and no can nnhesita* tingly give U. The Inind has much {to do In tho o a s o . - ' t f ••
