THK DOWN (5UADK. nV WU NOHTON. I.I. 1)., E,\«I.ANU

' p i l lH is the title of each oflhreo articles wrltteu 1 by Mr- Bpurgeon lu three numbers ot his

magazine. Tho Inst of them nppears this last Oc-tober. lie bos also printed them In n separate l)Bmphlet. From tho third article it appears that " a company of esteemed friends has rushed In between tho combatiinta, and declared that there

HO causc for war," that "iv considerablo nnm-ber of writers seo llttlo or nothing of departure from tbo faith among IJaptlst and Congregational ministers." Tlio otllcers of societies seem to bo Hpecially alarmed lent harm should come to those bodiett from this discussion. Mr. Spiirgeon says: " Urethreu who have been otllclals of a denomi-nation have a paternal partiality about them which is so natural aud sacred that we have not the heart to censure It. . . . Our Unions, Boards and Associations aro so Justly dear to tho fathers that ijulto unconsciously and Innocently they grow oblivious of evils which to unotlicial minds are as manifest as the sun in tho heavens." But Mr. Spurgeon says that far more numerous tostl-monles show that what ho has said is but a meager aud feeble statemoul ol the actual ease, that to his mind the evldonco Is overwhelming of the truth of what ho has written, and that thousands In al) denominations believe that ministers have seri-ously departed from the faith of tho gospel, and that a sad declluo of spiritual lifo is manifest in many churches.

Mr. Spurgeou quotes a passage from a work by Dr. David Hrown, principal of the Presbyterian Free Chruch College, Aberdeen, and ono of tho threo authors of the Commentary on Scripture by Jamieson, Fausset aud IJrown, in which bo traces tho skopiiolsm of men who profess Christianity to tho enmity of tho unrenewed mind to those fea-tures of tho gospel which the natural man cannot receive. Dr. Urowb says that all tho churchsi arc honey-combed with a tendency to minimiEe all those features of the gospol,-such as the divinity of Christ, tho vicarious and'oxplatory nature of tho atonement, the snbstltutiou of Christ for others, satlsfaotlou by tbo righteousness of Christ as surety Imputed to tho guilty who trust In him. Uo says that wherever this minimizing Is done tho •onvorslon of souls Is rarely hoard of.

Dr. Brown la uo doubt correct when ho says that " the eovort akeptlclsm of ministers who pro-fess to hold tho faith of all orthodox Christendom aud, as the basis of that faith, Uio authority of Borlpture, yet neither hold nor teach that faith, but do their best to undermine tho sacred records of It, la a form of skepticism more to bo feared than all other forms of skepticism eomblned."

Mr. Hnnrgeott aayi, aud with good -eaaon, that " to the bhrUtian. World newspspor Is largely duo the prevmlenoe of thU mischief," aud that " the ftrtiolea and tho lottera which i tha* Inserted prove hia poaltion up to the hilt." Uo quotes flrom It a pa t i tg* In whUh U aay" "'I'bo modern thought Wblob to Hr , Bpnrgoon'a eyo* is • deadly i»obni la

In ours tho glory of the century. It discards many of the dootrluM dear to Mr. Spurgeon and his school not only as untrue and unscrlptural but In the strictest sense immoral; for it cannot rocog-uiie the moral possibility of imputing either guilt or goodness, or theiustico of inlllotlng everlasting punishment for temporary hin. It Is not so ir-rational as to pin its faith to verbal iiifplration, or so Idolatrous as to make its acceptance of a truo Trinity of divine manifostatiou cover Poly-theism."

Mr. Spurgeon is still a member of the Unptlst Union {this was written before his wltbdranval], in which aro ministers who have openly avowed such sontlments as those whioh ho driiloros. lu this third article Mr. Spurgeou, after mentioning Bap-tist ministers who have made "an Ingenuous avowal of tho most thorongh-golng advanco from the things which havo been assuredly believed among us," asks tho practical question, "Arc brethren who remain ortliodox prepared to en-dorse suc^ aentlments by remaining in union witlu those wb«'-4lold aid teach them?" Two of tho Baptist ministers whose sentiments are such as Mr. Spurgeon refers to aro the Uov..K G. Greenhoagh aud the Rev. James Thew, both of I.«ice8ter. Tho Baptist Unlo» aeenis this year to havo marked Mr. Spurgco»'s protests as a tit opportunity for de-•larlng its resolve to adhere to these ministers by ippolntlug one of them to preac'i a sermon during thoautumu meetings of the Baptist Union at

Sbeflleld. [Held October third lo sixth.] An advertisement In tho Chruliun newspaper, which Is headed List of Meetings of the Baptist Union of Great Britain and Ireland, the Baptist Missionary Seoiety, etc., at Shellk'ld, contains this announoemant, "Wednesday, seven-thirty p. m , sermon In Conietery-road chapel by Uev. James Thew of Leicester."

Mr. Spurgeon says in his third aiticle: "One thing is olear to us, wo cannot bo expectfd to meet in any Union which comprehends those whoso teaching is, upon fundoineutai points, ex-actly the revcrso of that which we hold dear. . . . To us It appears that there are many things upon which compromlie U possible; but there are others la which It would be an act of treason to pretend to fellowship. With deep regret wo al)-staln from osseiabling with those whom we dearly love aud heartily respect, since It would Involve lis In a confedoraoy with those with whom wo can have no communion In tho Lord. . . . Those who banish us may yet be of another mind, and enable us to return."

This, It seems, Is uot likely to occur Just yot. Mr. Page IIopps, once a Baptist, now a Soclnlan,

has delivered recently some lectures on the Old Testament. The Ohrtnlinn IVorld ot Septomber twenty-ninth aays of \bom : "Mr. IIopps' chief object la to make It appear that the old Hebrew Bible la not the word of God but a medley of good, bad and Indifferent matters, largely dwo to antique forms of s p i r i t u a l i s m , . . . . that millions have called that God's truth whioh was some anonymous aplrlt's Insauo folly." Tho samo num-ber of tho Cfiriitian World has an ailvortisoment announcing that tho Rov. W Caroy Walters, oaoo a Daptlat, would bogln on October second hla regular ministry In Essex church, the Mall, Not-tlng 111)1 Uato, ono of the chief Boolnlau chapell I nLo ondon.

"But 1 say unto you that ye resist not evil, but whoioevdr shall smite theo «» .t^X Hght chock rum to him the other also." This Is tEo law of toleratlou imd forboarwico to govern ^be Lord'i pwplo.

RECEIVING -I'HE KINGDOM. i t m i l O B O E V E R shall not receive the kingdom

V\ of God as a little child he shall uot enter therein." How I wish that all underiftood tlds, and Would cdme and receive Christ 'as a llttlo ehlid receives blm I The.lltil{> child has no pr<]Ju-dices, no preconceived theories nor opinions It cannot give'up. It believes what.Jesns says. You mast come lu the sami 'wayto learn of Chirlst. 1 fear you know a great ideal. TbfOw It but of the -window, you have made wp*i|dttr minds about a great maiiy'things. tJiimake your mind, acid bo as wax to the seal before him.

A llttlo child believes with an unquestioning fmlth, which makes everything vivid aud real. Be-lieve Just io. The child believoa !• all humility, looking op to Its teacher, and reeelvlng Us toachei-'s words as decisive. Bollete In Jesus Just ao. Bay, "Lord, I am a know-nothing, I come to thee to be taught.' I am nothlBg, be thon mine all in all." •

A oblld, wheu it comes to Christ, eomea very sinoeroly and with all its heart. It knows nothing of sinister motives or of formality. Ita repeutaoco and faith are genuine. I wish you would eome to Christ at once, yoti poor, guilty ones, In TOal earnest, just as you are. Do not play at religion any more. Do not look for fine words with If blch to trim yourjselvet, and makei'your prayera iook neat and pretty, but come aa a eblld doea, iu all simplicity, not ashamed to talk aa.your heart feels.

When a child believes Iq Jeaus It cares nothing for critical pointa. That is the way you must come to Christ. Yoti that have alifaya been in-venting religioua , c o n u u d r u m « , y o u that for many yeara havo been readcra of the last now novels In modern theology* for^ they aro mere novels, and nothing bottei-,—you thai have addled your brains with thfl vain thoughts of vain men, come to Jesus as you are, and bellevo what Jesus Hays because Jcsua aays It. Take ghrist at his word, and trust him. That Is the way to be saved.

"But 1 have no merit," says one. " 1 have no preparation." Neither has a child. 1 never ttnd children troubled about belugpreparsd for Christ. 1 never hear of such a thing as a child worried about qualitlcatlons for grace. A child is a sinner, and knows it. That is the way to come to Christ. Come as a 8lnnorj»-kno\?lng that yon are anch. Bay, " Jesus calls mo, and f o6me. Jeaus died for me, aud I trnst him." That la the truo way lo come to Jesus. Instead of bc:Iug more wise bo more completely bereft of all wlsdtim, And como to Jesus for Wisdom, rlgtlteouauess and all things. — C. H. SPUKofioK. '

It ought to be tho aim of every man lo havo a storo within bloisclf from which ho «an draw when bo noeda it. A prudent roidrvo la.aa much of a duty hi that way as In biiainoaa. Whllo work is interoatlug, health good Mid associations con-genial ho Is safe Jfroiq discontent perhaps, aud calls hlniself happy, but when Ihoao fall blm, as thov easUy may, ho la liable to a condition ot pain and possibly fatal dlstraoUon There is notblug to which ho eau turn his hand,t^or aro there friends to appeal to. He ia alone, cut off from all his old resources, oro'ptjr-handod, sunk In spirit, and compolled to aay-Jr ,

At tlie Anti-chrisl will be destroyed by the brigbtneta of bis coming, so the intuflerable blaae of this divlae attribute will blight and blast the tinner forever and ever, Holinest it a consuming fire to the wickod.

i . Justice is also a consuming fire. Justice i« holiness in active operalion vindicating law, honor-ing God, punishing sin. Justice will appear just even to the lost. My damnation is Just. I knew my duty and I did it not: these are tbe echoes of hell.

Men may now aay eternal punishment is unjnst and unlike God, but there it wUl appear just. It will be like God to act aooording to the principles oi holiness and righteousneas. JusUce is a consum-

' ing fire to the wicked. 3 Bighteousneaa is a consuming flra. Tbo judge

of all the earth will do right The sinner himself will see that God has done right to banish him from bis glorious prewnco forever. His own con-science will say it Is right. He will blame no one but himself. Holiness, JusUoe, righteousness, all combine to punish the sinner.

In this world men often declare God's rays are not right, but there every mouth will be stopped. Dives In hades did not deeiaro his punishment un-j u s t He only asked for a drop of water to alleviate his sufierlngs. Righteousness is a consuming fire.

4. Goodness is a oonsoming fire. The term God isacontracUonofgood. God is goed, the essonco of goodness. This faet will appear to the lost in all iU solemn reality. The very goodness of God wUI only aggravate the sinner's woe. He will see the crime of abusing tbat goodness. He will wonder bow it was possible to r(()eet the olalmt of God's goodness for a whole lifbUme. i f God Is a consuming Are, goodness most also be a consum ing fire to the wicked. Holiness, jusUce, righteous ness, may be clothed with ••ngeance, for God has said "vengeance Is mine." Bnt goodness has a vengeance all iU own. Wo even read of tbe wrath of the Lamb. Goodness wroiged^ violated, out-raged, will be a oonsoming flre to the wleked.

«. Gras« alto will be a eonenming Are. When the lost son! tnms his q t m U) the eross and lees thereon God's gilt of sovereign graoe, a Christ rejected a Savior despised, how will his heart ro-eoU, lys oontolenoe sting, bla whole being glow with gnllt and shame t Hollnesi may be insuflbr-able,jnstloeindesoribably nwfnl, rifhteousnees a flame of Are, but grace will not be lass terrible to the ionl tha t has trodden nader foot the Bon of

But mercy dospisod, outraged, lu time will appear ludesoiribably awful in eternity, Mercy's calls rojeoted, mercy's entreaties Ignoreii, nioroy's tears unheodod, morcy's groans unheard, this wili msko moroy a consuming fire in I ho world of reli lbutlon.

Wo ought to pray often. Tho Psalmiat aerroa with the common esitimato that food for tlio spirit Ih needed as often as food for tho bo«ly : "Even i.ng, mnruing, and at noon, will I pray. a ' ld cry a l o u d ; a n ' U . 0 8liall hear my voice." Beyond that ho was somctlmcB carried by greatfnl sense of divine goodnosH: " Sev.Mi tin ea a dav do I praUo thee, bccauao of tby righteona iudgmenU'

In tho preaa of bualneaa thero are those who exrupo Uiomaelvea from family prayers, and even from private devotion. Thoy hurry out to uudor-take the labor that waits tbeni or to begin tho long journey. But they hold prajera at night, when tliey have icisure. Tl.en, loo, perhaps they have a aonao of danger and the need of protection, for moat grown people, like children, aro afraid Of darkness. ,

But, think of ill Ilow many dangera boaet you iu a day'a work, or pl. aauru, or travel I You r e turn lo tho evening too often aiaa burdened with a senao of rcmWsuoHS, U not of Kuiit, and your prayer ia for forglvencHB.

How can you venture upon It without tho guard and tho girding of P ^ y " ' t " him who seea tho end from tho beginning ? In the m o r n i n g thB day's history Is unwri t ten; at night tho record Is mado up, and tho error of a moment may bo tho grief of a ilfo-tlme.

Boein ovory day by looking up. Look up lo give thanks for tho care of Providonco uudor which you slept mfoly. Look up to obtain grace to help you snd to keep you tbrougb all your Wflklug hours.

THAT KAnNRST DESIKR OK PA17IVS.

IN ilo U«ne of 8ept«tnb«r tho twonty'fourth Tim fiAjpTiar publlihed my oxegMlt of Phil. I. 21-24.

l a Ita luua of Oolober the twauty-Mooud apiwars a oritloUin by J, T. Okkley,

Bro. Oakley ofibfe lome cbjeotionB (o my inter-pieuf Ion, iftya ho l t not prepared to adopt It, aikt

for light, and pretenta some polnta, or qaestlona for my notice.

Now, Bro. Oakley, at you lay you write In search of truth, I will endeavor to comply with your kind requoat. Your points, or quoHilona; are the follow-ing:—s

I. Do not the believori i s as Intcrmodlitto state Jwlleve the rlghteoua, when they die, go to Christ, or whore be U ? If not whore do ihey go t

i . Do not the elrcumtlanoes surrounding Piul's expresaloni, "Depart and be with OhrUt," aud •'IfeTdrthelew to abide in the flesh is more needful for yon," Avor bit departure from among the Phillppians abould his earnest desire bo granted ?

I answer your second question flrst.I say no,not by any means, for reasons already girou In my oiogo, »ls. From Ibe nontext we Inarn that before Paul's mtnd there wore two altornatlves; life and death. We said that be did not Itnow which of these to ohoone. But you say that he did choose—prepai-ed to depart This makes Paul contradict himself. My brother, do you honestly believe that Paul did thus contradict himself, did teli a He, by naylng that he did not know which to choose, and then in the next breath, make a choice f

Touching this point the Emphatic DlagioU has the following note: "To a n a l u i a i , the loosing again or reluming, being what Paul earnestly do sired, oonld not be death, or dissolution, as Impllod by the word depart. In our common version, be-cause it seemed a matter of Indifference to him which of the two, life or death, he sh ould choose; but he longed for the a n a l u i a i , waloh was a third thing, and very much to be praferre'l to eithef of the other two things alluded to." Bnt in respect to my translaUon of the Greek Uxt, you say: "I have examined several versions and commontarlet on the passage and not 000 snstalns Bro. Swlndall's translation." You have not then examined the Emphatic DIaglott, my brother.

Here la what It says: "I am indeed hard pressed by the two things: (I have an earnsst desire for the returning, and being with Christ, since It Is very much to be preferred.") This returning was not, as you, think Paal'a return to G>d, for tho reasons already given, but the returning of his blessed Lor« and Ifaater to this world, and for which he was so anxiously looking and waltiag. i again Invite your atUnUon to Lake X U, 36 the only other place where the word analuein occurs in (he New Teatament. Here we have analusei ren-dered In the common versloa, will return, not de-part. How can the same word here mtan return, and In tb« text depart f Lat aa translate the Ssrlp. tures so aa to harmonlie.

Now, to yoar first qneaUoa. "D > not the bellev-era In an Intermediate sUte believe the righteous, when they die, go to Ohriat, or where he Is ? If

questions. Tonhe fit ni I »„,wer, Where U Christ ? Peter, n Acta xl 38, aaya (hat God had exalted Christ at

bis right hand. Well, where la the Lord Qod-tho iather who exalted Ohriat ? David, In Ps. elll. 19 "The Lord has prepared his throne In the heavens.'' That li, the heaven of heavena,of which the Jewish holy of holies was a tyile.

p e heaven where God'a throne li, la the central orb of the anlverse. This then la where Clirlst Is on the Father's threne with him. In Bivelation Christ aaya: "I am set down with my Father in h i . throne." Chapter Hi. verse 21. No human bo" Ing has ever gone to thia place.

Havingahown where saints do not go at death. I now oonje to your,llnil ^uwiion, fWhere do they g o r To designau the pUee wber^.hu^u^u aplrlt, go when thoy leave the bodyj , t S Hebrew woru usea in theOjlTeaUment. I t U u r . J»ky.fopr Umu. i J n thirty-lwo of ttiese It ii, X

A CONCESSION ' iO l.ANI)MAlUvI8M, I T APPEAIIS that itov. (J. W. I''. Hill, who came i to us from the Froowiil Baplis:^, and was calkd 10 tbo pastorate of the First BapliHl uhiiruli in B(. (.(OOrge, was rc-ordainod by tiio conncil called lor •Mr. Hi i rs examination. Tho fact was not slatml in the report of tbo proceedings ot tiio council whicli we received, or wo should havo commentod upon this action at tho time. Wo now loarn that after tho examination of tho candidato a motion was made that Mr. IHii bo recognized as a Baptist minister, and tho motion was earn vt unanimously . In connection with this action it was stated by one of the members of tho council, that whilo ho did not believe in tiio nocossily uf rc-ordinatiou in such cases, there were Baptist churchwH in other parts of tbo country whore a ditloront view prevailed. When tbo council ro-assombled in the afternoon Mr. Iliil, evidently .niluonced by this romurk, and wishing to avoid any question tvi tiio futuro con-cerning tho validity ot bis ordination, asked tho council to ro-ordain bim, and tho council roscindcd its previous action and nccod'cd to bin rc(|U0Hi.

I t is (ruo that there aro lUptint churcl.cB in otho parts of t'lO country in whiijii ordmat on Uy a Bap tist prc8l)ytery U regarded as iudi»j)on'»able. Expocially is this true In tiio Southorn B ates. In-deed somo of tiio cburchos in that p*rl of the country go so far as to dose tlioir pulpits to all ox cept Baptist ministors.

We can understand now Mr. Hill was ltd lo s«k theoouncil to adopt a courso ditl iront from th it which our New England churches havo been accustomed to adopt in such cases. No iiarm could come (0 him by ro ordination, and, should he go to other parts of tbo country lio mlgiit, avoid annoyance snd controversy.

"Ifthey opposed infant baptism i l l s nnaewunt* able tliat their literature running through tour ' oentnrles gives no formal argnntent against It and no aeeompanying demand for the baptism of believers only."

We cannot close this paper without notlelng an aspersion upon tbe fathers among Baptists of the olden times, which Is notleed by a very able re-viewer in the; ^esWy, of New York. Dr. Armltace says: —

,t> " Tbe natural tendency of things in the old Umea

of harsh and bard controversy on Infant bapUsm, when our fathers were obliged (0 Xmggie idl the time for the right to be w h to look with, comparative Indlffirenoe, If not Bntpleion, on (ho* conversion of youth in very tendov ag^. Happily thai unreasonable and unlovely state of thlngB U passing away, and onr ehnrohea are laamiDg (he holy art of winning very yonng ehlldren to Jesus, as sof n as they can nndersta«d tda elaims upon them and are able to love and serve him. . . . Instead of leaving onr ehlldran to run wild until their hearts aro all gnarled and Bearifled, like a knotted oak tree, we are bringing onr little ones to Jesus, that he may lay his hands on~ them and bless them."

Whether in this rofleotlon he refers to the ancient sec u of Baptists or tbe mora modern ones, it is alike wlthont proof. When • blBhop sent several doctors ot the Sorbonne —the divinity aehool at Paris — to inquire into the religious condition of Provence, one of them owned that he had under-stood more of the doctrine of salvation fh>m the answers of the little children In their eafeehlsm than by all the dlspntatlon he had before heard." (Vecembpclus' Oration quoted by Parrin — Hlst. Vaudois,chap. 5.)

It was for writing, publishing and printing a book entitHed THE CHILD'S INSTRUCTOB that Benjamin Keach waa a-tnlenoed to prisjn for two months, and to stand in the pillory at Aisbury with a paper on his head having the title of said book, and also to pay a flee of twenty pounds, and give sccuritlea for his appearance at the next asHiKcs," etc. Did this seem like Baptist fathera looking with indifference If not with susprdon on tbo conversion of youth 7 "

Tbe facts are: 1st, The covenants of Baptist cliurcbes, as far back as we can trace thom, pledge caoh one to bring up their oflkpting in the nnrturo and admonition of tbe Lord. Snd, The first Sun-day-school for religious instruction originated with a Baptist, before Robert Rakea opened his secular sch*^ol. 3rd, The first organlaad Sunday* school Society in the world waa fbimed by the members of the Presoott street BapUst ehureh, LOB • don, (of which Abraham Booth was afterwarda pastor,) at a tavern, at The Poultry, Lindon Of which, however, Dr. Armltage makes no mention. 4tb, BsptUU have ever repelled as a slander the • barge that because they did not bapiice their children they were less solleltoas than the Pddo-baptists for their conversion.

Dr. Armitage did not intend (to use hla words iu another oonneotlon) to pin this sUnder on tiinirbacKs. Neverthelua It amounU to this, and w« protest against tho use that will be made of It.

To Pope Innocent's lettors to the bishop of Mont/, we will roler again.

bavolMon larjfoly «lIoclcd with tbis mere formality

Wo have bion inquiring in our tboUKbts, how and

whyinsbiii? W« think-WiJ can correctly account

for it to a largo de^rrn. Tho aecret of tho trouble

Is disclosed in G«l. iv 21; "Tell mo, yo that de

siro to bo uDder law, do yo not hear the l aw?" Be-

ginning in the Spirit wo desire to bo iimdo pcrfect

in tho tlceb, as did tbo Ualatlaus. '

Legal notions of providence and talvalion will

dry up one's gratitude cffpctually. Our gratitude

is measured by our ideas of grace. Tho blessings

of providunca and salvation como to us either

through law or grace. Thiy can't come through

both to one person. God oU'ers them either way

and we must acccpt the one principle or the other.

Were It popslblo to attain to theto blessings on

principles of law they would como as a matter of

debt, and gratitude would bo impossible. If, in

our darkened uuderstsndintr, wo have foolishly

mixed law and gracc,tho former will soon conceive

and drspiae the latter, and, ia pro{>ortiou as law

reigns, gratitude decays.

Tho legalist may formally thank Ood for bis

bleaclngs, but, coiisideriug that he sccuiud them

through bis own obedieiico to law, tho gratitude

Udue to bira8tlf; for wi'hout his performances

Go<l could have done nothing. But if be considers

hini«elf unworthy and unmeritorious every whit

then the bkaslngs aro free, and tho gratitude

abounds, llunoo tbo principle of /reenesa in tho

Divine dealings with Us bcconu's a mossiiroforour

gratitude. I f God freely tivcs us all things then

tbe frceness is uuliiiiitcd, and so should be the

gratitude.

Let us trace ihln p! iiici|ilo in things temporal and

matorial. All lhin<{8 aro for tbo fleet's sake, and

all belong to thcni. U()oii wlint priiici|)lo were

they betowed? The world ways I'auI, is ours. Did

God give it to us troi'lv ? Uom. iv. 13: " Kor the

promise that ho should bo heir cf tho woiltl was

not to Abraham or bit svcd through law but

tbrout-'h the righteousncBS of faiih." bee Gen. i

»i , i i .8-l5.

What did God liist demand of us? and what

will we now give to him ? If we pay we must pay

full value. God could not cotupromiso. If wo pay

any wo must pay all. If he gives any ho muit

give all. But not only tho world but all things

thoreiu arc freely >;ivoii. Things preson'. aro ours,

earth, air, wfttor, aniuittlH, fowlf, tlnhcH, minerals,

vegetable*, and everything bearing gccd after its

kind. What are thOH) worth to us ? What would

wo take for water, air, tor anything? Wiistdid we

pay for them? On what principle woro thny bo-

aiowcd? If God owed us Ihcso then Ihoy woro

given to us an a inaltor of debt, and no gratitude

is duo; but if they wcro freely given gratitude is

due, and d«o just in pnipoition (o tho frceness.

Ood gave us our lnulh's, with all of their sua-

cGptlbilities, rolations, posplbilitios. Name tho

organ or nionlal faouify that wo can viluo. What

would wo tako f.tr tho castjugil, civil, aooial, fra-

ternal, paternal, tilitti, rcl*tiom? What invalu-

able blessings como tluough lho«oI Which of

thcBO did God give in oownrcnunniu of what wo first

every oongolouco, —God freely gives all thlngr.

Wo de(> dovila and luon to namo the thiuga that

Qod did not fteely giro. It is claimed that <3o4

frMly givoa natural blosalngs, but that tho bluBB«

inga of providenoo aro conditional. Wo deny It,

lodAliy bread aingled out as a blosalng of provi-

douce, bestowed iu oonsiderai.Ioa o< labor per*

formed as eoudltions? Wo deny it with tnaauuiiuo

energy, and would undortako to atop iho mouth uf

any galusayor.

Istheraalaw of natural llfo? Wo would nni-

phaalse our »o until our oppoi.ent wuul.l aay it

thundered. I f health nud pros|)erity and life i^ni

matters of law, things to bo worked out on uoriain

eonditions, thou they that do tho thiugB shall live

In thum. Tbo result is certain, and courts ai a

matter of d'bt. So providence bocouies a mis-

nnmer, thanksgiving a hbartless performance and

gratitu-le a hollow prtttonso.

Let ua gladly and diligentiy usq tlie means thiit

a gracious and wiso God lias racrciluliy appuiutud

for our good, and then depcndontly ami daily ptay,

" G I V E us our daily bread." Perhaps lie will

bear our prayer; but if ho sovereisniy chooses ho

will send famine doepito our plowing ami praying.

In this case submission to the Dlvinu will would

be bettw tiian bursting barns ot plenty.

Tbo use of Htcans leaves room for depondeiit

supplications; and blessings thus secured call

forth upstroaming gratitude to (lie Giver uf all. If

wo must legally plow and pray then uino-tenthsof

tbo racti would starve by reason of thu hard con-

ditions. How can they plow who have not t'ui

atrongtii? and how call on him of whom thuy

have not heard? I f the sun wcro I't shino only un

the good and the raiu fall only .oiv tliu obedient

then the righteous would detiantly livu, and tlio

unrigbtcoui4 and weak would inevitably perish.

on our lost appetite. Becaud, to soo our old friondi

tud form now one*, and deliver "Tho Salvation

Sermons to Eld. J . B. Ilamberlln's church, tho

Palmetto street. Wo received decidedly nnro

benefit from thia visit than wo did from Tate

Springs. A decided Increase of appotlto and a

relish for oui'fooil, of which wo htve had nono or

very UtUt for throe yeara past. Oystera and fl'ih

Bro. and Sister Poarce, and most kindly wero

we cared for and overy want supplied. Mi')iio,wn

wero assured is at last recuperating from her iosb

of population, and trade, and is looking up, and has

reeantly taken activo ineasuroj looking towards

deep water for heavy shipping, her greatest need,

and without which she cau never reasonably bnpn

to be a growing city.

VTe met In (ho cars Capl. Hardy, president of

the Gulf and Ship Island railroad, who informed

ns that he is vigorously pushing his railroad that

will connect Ohicago with tho Gulf route that af-

fords a dsep water harbor for tbo largest sea going

Teasels. Thia road will soon run thirty miles woat

of tho Mobile and Ot'o, and thirty miles oast of the

Illiuols Central road from tbo Gulf to Jackson,

Tenu., and be of marked benefit to that young city,

and to Mississippi in particnlar. Its success is as-

sured by the character of its prenidenl, and for push

and success in wliat ho undertakes, and his sub-

stantial backing in tbis nuterpriso.

The Baptist cause in Mobile ia in a hoilthy c )n-

dition. Tho Palmetto atreol church, twoivo years

ago but an infant mitaion, is uow a pelf-sustaining

church of members, iind a largo and grow-

ing Sabbath-'^cbool, under thu superintoudoncy of

Bro. George Pearce. *

Bro. Ilamberlln la greatly belovo'1, and hit work

has been solid work. St. Francis street church, tho

largo, and wealthy, perhaps tho we.Uthiost church

of tho city ia now ministered to by Eld. Taylor,

who has taken a high rank as au al>lo and oloquont

preacher. The congregations of tho Bi. Francis

street church aro large, aud conatantly iiicresHlng.

Bro. Taylor is not a sensational preacher, but a

plain gospel preacher, not slightly incline I towards

Baiptist princl|>1es, but altogetuer a Baptist. It is

the old goRt>ul plainly and iK)werf'nlly preaciicd

tbat draws bis congregations, and ho asks no

apology for preaching the whole of it, Ho tho

very man that the 8t Frauds church iieeiU at this

time.

Our Talks on Salvation wero well receivod by

tho Palmetto eimgregatlon as was attestud to by tho

congregations,and more thau by words by Irebbling

our Hat of subscribers, and paying all of our ex-

pensoa, and soliciting another visit in the spring to

enjoy the meat of tho bay, and coasting by steam,

and nail, and unless greatly alrongthenod wo fear

we shall not have tho atrcngih to rofune. Eld

Jameaon, pastor of Macon ohuroli, influouoed this

trip by promising to accompauy and tako car ) of us

all tho way from Oorlnlh to the Gnif, and moat

kindly and carefully did lie fulfill his self imposed

task,and what thanks of ours cau reward him?

DIU^ROBBRfSON'S VALBDIOTORY.

IET our "dead" Baptists, who havo a oaino to live,

read tho following wail, and then ask them-

aelvoa if It ia not high time they woro awaking out

of sleep.

I started without eltlier experience or money. In thu Ptovidence of (]od I have been enabled to make nSy living cblefly.^outside my businesa, and to ln> vestpvel- four thou^-ind do)lar«, cash, in what ia now known as tho Baptist Jitjtcotor. Toward that large army of brethren who uiought I was coining money with (he paper, I chorish no mailoo. They almply did not know where""f they thought.

I wrought solely for the g 'od of my Master's cause in Tenno'soe, and am t,alisfled with the ex-poudlture of both time and money. The resuKs nave not been what I could havo wished, nor what they would havo been had tbe brethren known of the sacrlfloos being made In their Interests. To havo told them at tho time, would have boon to jeopardize tho work unto wh'ch I had nnmmitted myself. Hence I lolled and sacrlilcod In siiouoo. I speak uow, only in the hope that brethren who como after me may bo spared tbe pain of btingmia-unilerstood and misjudiced.

I a'n sorry that, iu my incxperienne, I fixed the price of tho papar too low. I do not care ao much for tho money 1 lost by that folly,as for tho resulting inability to mijke tljo paper what it ought to bo.

* • * » •

I ioavo tho pa ler because I have como to fool that most of tho bret iron regard tho pipor as mv inter-est, to 1)0 eared for and fostnrod by mo. Working day and night, week day and Suad^v, In broiling sun aud through driving sieot and emiv, I havo so impaired my health, that I can no longer do tho kind and degree of work that s9.imod to l)0 neces-sary to make the paper a nunce^s In tbis State. A comparison of the aubsonption book.s tho paat throe mouths with the corresponding poriol in former years, when I wai able to bo in the Held, aming tho brethren at (heir Assoohitions, wHI abundantly justify my decision to retiroand turii tho work over to stronger hands.

In this Southland, whore nearly cvory other man

and woman you see is a Baptist, their editors must

make thijir living "outaido of thoir buiincai." I f

tho editor puts on a smiling face, tLioy think he is

"coining money ;" i fa sad face th iy suapiclon some-

thing is tho mattor, and that ho U going to fail, aud

ought to fail. If thay spnak of their sacrKlses they

"endanger their intorost."

An editor juust look his troubles in his bosom,

put on a cheerful couiitonauco, aud work tiirough

all tho days, and through all tlio woiUior, do all thu

work of several men, aud at laU b.r crii-thod under

his bunions whtch nino-tontln of his beholding

brethren refu.'icd to touch with oiio of their fingers.

If to induce our ignor.'mt paople to road religious

litoraturo tho editor oll'jrs them a short crcdU, and

then, after wailing thn full tima sends them-tiie

politest roqiiost for rcmittaiico ho can indite, a largo

portion of them, with lio inuxproitiblo aud unoon-

tiollablo will dip tholr pons in gall, aud lilcoaviper

b ting himself as ho writhes, they write: "Sirj, I

received your dim. D^n't sjnd mo any more of

your papers. I will send tho money as soon a* I

got it, but stop tho paiior, nud dou't bo sending me

any more of your duns."

The number of such lottors must not ho known,

lost infidels call religion a farce.

,Now, brethren, how long will yo sUnd Idly by?

Why will not Biptlsli work for tholr papars like

other people ? Who will answer this question ?

Tbe seooud proposition reads s " Baptism to a penitent believer is In order to tbe pardon of past sins." J . A. Harding afSrins.

I t is agreed that only One proposition , shall bo dif cnssed at a time. Tbe one in the negatiTe Is to confine himself to tb* examination of the argnments and S^riptares addneed by tho afArmant. That is, be is not to oAr the affirmative argament on hia propoaltlon, aa an eflset. or answer, to the affirma-tive argument on the other propoeitlon, and thn« oonfdse tho hearer* with the disensdon of two propositions at the Mme time.

THE BAPTIST FUND FOR YOUNG MIN-

I8TRR8 FOR 1887.

Th e Univeraity at Jaolcson w i l l open the flrat

Monday in September next; and we expeotbe-tween twenty u i d thirty young ministers will enter, most of whOm will nt»ed b^p (o the amount of their board at leaat. The Board of Mlnlaterial Education is utterly without funds, If not in debt on last year's aooount Will not tbe patrons of this paper, as in the years put , esteem It a privilege to aid in this cause ? We feel assured many will, but how many? and to what extent? are the questions we wish decided tietween this and the first of Sep-tember next. This paper now enters between five and six thousand families. We want each sub-scriber to do something this current year for min-isterial education, and to Indicate by a pledge what per month he or she will give, the payments to commence on or before the first of September. We can then tell how many young ministers we, tbat Is, the editors and patrons or T h i B a p t i s t ,

may safely undertake to support, whether five or ten. Wi l l our readers look over the pledgee below, and toll us In the next four weeks whioh one we may put their names under? Let us ait do some-thing.

No. 1. I agree to pay one dollar per month for tho next fen months for the support of five or more young ministers at the University at Jaokson, Tenn.

B Terrell, Ilendersonville, Sumneroountr,Tenn. Paid $10 00; J R Graves; T I I Qranlierry; N Blaln, Tenn ,110 paid; A Seminary student |1 paid; Mrs G W Sample, Lt. , $1 paid.

No. 2. I agree to pay fifty cents per month for the next ten months for tbe support of fire or more young iltlnlstors at Jackiou.

Mf;s J R Graves; M Y Uarston.

No." 8. I agree to pay twenty-five eenU |)or month for the next ten months for the support of five or more young ministers at Jaokson.

Mrs M H Simmons, Buston, La; W M Cooper, Ala.; Mrs W m M Battorfiold, Mo,

No. 4. I agree to give ono young minister at Jaokson one month'e board <112 60).

E B Fuller, Friars Point, Mlis. There ia no friend of mlnlaterial education who

reads thia but Is able to give what some one of those pledges call for; and we do entreat each brother and sister to pledge something before the first day of next September. " Whoaoever shall givo to drink unto one of these little ones a eup of cold water only in the name of a disdple verily I say unto you be shall in no wise lose his reward."

^^heso young minlaters are the disciples of Ohrist, and who can refuse to give them one meal while they are preparing to work for the bVAased Master?

Wo have the board of only one pledgid fOi one month as yet. Shall we not hear f-en one hun-dred good brethren and sisters this week?

Bu t tbo year 1887 haa marked the greatoat proKrens in MempUi« perbape of sny year of her blatory, Tno bo-i r lnn lugof l l io yoar saw tbo ooniplo« tlou and equipment of three iJtrpo t railways, whlob have added much to the convflnionoo of lUe people in pa8H-lug f rom ono pa i t of the oify to an otbor. Tlioso railway* Iravoreoiuany nillos of Btrcoi, and br ing tho oxtroml-tlea of the city in ovory dlrootiou jinto easy and quick oomnjuuloatlon with okoh other.

Dur ing tho sunitiier and autii 'iin two ex ten 8 Ivo d u m m y railway lines have boon put In operation, extending ia ono diroctiun to Nonconnah crojk,a diatauct) of 11 vo inilas, and In anotliar direction to the r»co course, about the same distanco. Tncse br ing the re-mote Huburbs and t h e immediate country into hourly access to the oon tor of tho city, thus accommodating large numbera of people hi therto de-barred from cheap and convenient city traveling facilities.

Tbo Tenneateo Midland railroad, now in course of conatruotiou, will be completed to Memphis at no ver> ( l i sunt day, which will open a w a) of access to and f r o m a large distirict of wealthy and prosporaun c o u n t r j , and be of great benefit to this city, afc well as tho country t r ave r sed , in many waya.

W h i l r wr i t ing this tlio followinglt> tho Public Ledger is J a s t observed, which ia an Item of intelligence noi only of much interest to tho people o< M e m p h i s in par t icular b u t also t o th i general public, as tho th ing therein ment ioned , if it shall te rndnata in an accomplished fact, will be ono of thf g randes t achievements of tho nine teenth century, if indeed it n i g l i t uQl be coosiderad tho very cl imax ol wonderfu l accomplishments : —

" T h e r e is good reason to believe tha t a b r idge will bo bv i l t across the Mississippi r iver at Memphis , under wha t ia k n o w n as t h o F o r d charter, a t no diatant day. T h e Messrs.

Van Bon-thuysor of Now Orleans, and othorir interested, regard tho sohomo as poi-a ib leand praeticjkblu. The i r idea is for the company to bui ld tho bridge, and give all railroads coming to Mem-phis an-equal ohaneo, the prtylloges to bo merely a mat ter of u n i f o r m to*]« and regulat ions, subjeet to ttio secre-tary of war . No railroad is to havo »ny stock In tho br idge . This In tho plan now. Batlsfaotory surveys have been made. T h e charter , wo are given t o underataud, is not for sale."

Wtf-f,lAM NOirrON, f,l.I>,, KN()I,ANI>. P K O E N T L V I rocoived it letter from Hultillo in 1\ Mexico, from your highly favorod initwioimry,

Mr. I'owull, Iind n jo icod to hoar iinow of ( lod's (rroiit work of grftco th rough him in Mexico, l l o Huys tliut ho hiui n thought of coming to Europn in 11 ypiir or t ^ o . Mtiy God sjMJod nnd hlosa bin viiiit. God hits hound im, Eiiginud nnd America , with Ik Btroiig hoiid (if common mtcn ' s t in thoBO of Hiiaiiish l ip . Ho , by his direction of ov()nt«, brought into being tho In.it mid best iSpanish vor-

, HIOH of tho Newer Hcripturcs, nnd, by means of England and Amoriciv in union, n version fai thful lo Goil, nnd which being mndo, ns to Kpanish, by tho highest author i ty iiossosaos nil tho fitness and melotly of expression which nro exftcted by the Hpanish oar.

It will, I hope, br ing thanlt.'?giving to God if I mention how God, by his own iinnd, brought tliis alwut.

A Hpaniard born in 1701 bccame, from lovo of study, n Franciscan monk . When ho was nine toen iio was called out to jo in tho a rmy, and left tho inonastory. T h e greater freedom of tho a rmy made tiie monastic bonds soem tyrranous . When he was in liis twenty-four th year tho momlrers of monastic orders wore required to go back to their monaHteries. H e would have lef t Bpain rather than go l)ack, bu t ho had uo means to travel, and, urge<l by his family , roturnod. H o was made priest, a preacher and confessor, and was afterward assigncil a chair of philosopiiy. H i s conduct had Ixion outwardly c o r r e c t ; bu t lu; folt t ha t it was not what his creed required. Tho better to live with-out transgression he gave u p ono par t af ter another ol his creed. H e bocaino a t length an atheist and fatalist. About 1820 he left tho monastery, and liccamo a secular priest . In 1823 ho went to Madrid. H o was n fr iend of tbo then liberal governinenl, and went there to avoid popular lury . He might have re turned to liis chargo if lie woidd have lied as to tho past nnd Hvod n hypocrite in fu ture ; but tho proposal filled him with terror. At the end of 1823 ho followed some French tro()j)8 toward France w i t h o u t n passport. Though an atheist he preferred to givo u p all his proHpects, to leave those he loved, to (juit his country , to ox-lK)so hiinsolf to bo arrested an a criminal or killed hy a popular f u r y , rather than live a continued lie. Ho was stopped on tho f ront ie r , nnd detained at Iran till orders should ar r ive f rom tho military ohiot. Ho waH u n k n o w n , had no money, no friond. Ho felt most wretched. On tho eeventh day he thought of suioido. Till eleven a t n ight his anguish was ex t r eme ; bu t ho ioll asleep, nnd in tho morn->ug, without any known cause, lie fel t , on waking, a calm nnd cheerful pleasure. His thought of sui -cide sbomed nt first ridiculous, nnd ho laughed, then horrible, and ho wopt. H i s mind wna filled with proofs romomberod tha t thoro ia n glorious Creator on whom happiness must depend. On that very evening tho raistroHa of tbo lun in which he stayed came to him ^ told him of his danger , promiaed biro a t ruaty guide early In the morning to ahow a mouutaii i M t b , wbioh the g u s r d i kpew not, in to F r i i i M , rad urged b im to MK»|)e« J ^

wont, nnd was at Bayonno nex t day. Thoro ho hoard a minister of the London .Continental Ho cioty (iroach. H o heard of salvation through fai th, a thing unhoard of in Hpaiii. His a t tempt to fine Halvatlon by works hadnmilo him an nthoi&t, hac led him almost to suiciilo. Ho felt that such a milviitioii as ho tmd now hoard of for tlio first timo waa tho only ono tha t oijuld suit his nood. Ho read and found thn doctrine t rue. Ho prayed, nnd oarnestly, for frtith. Ho soon rejoicwl in ( 'hr is t , t rust ing in him to save. Tho burden of his wholo life was goue. Ho ( Juan Caideron) was, in 182;{, thir ty-two years of ago. In 1821) ho wont to Lou-don, nnd preached to Hpanish refugees. In 1831) liio refugees left , and Mr. Caideron wont back to Franco. Ho continued there some timo, and married. In 1842, while Espastero was regent, he wont to Madrid, and taught the gospel from house to house, but was obliged to re turn to France in 1845. I u 1840, wheu fifty-five, ho wont again to Lon(ion\ There God raised him up kind fr iends and hcliwrs. l3y means of funds obtained by Dr. J ames Thomson ho wrote and printed a periwiical in Hjianish, which was circulated in Hpain, Houth America and other parts. A t tho timo of the great exhibition of 1851 ho preached in tipanish regu larly a t a place in Leicester 8(iuare. A little work publifihod in 1853, compiled chiefly from paj)er8 written by Dr . Thomaon, Raid : —

" Mr. Caideron is a man of high talent and distinguished Hpanish scholar. Ho has published a work of greul merit on tho SpanlHli language, which tho Spanish govornnicnt has lately ordered to be used in all tho public seminaries throughout tho kingdom. This eminent Hpaniard has iileo l)eon lately apiM)inted profesBor of tho Hpanish language in King 's College, I^ondon."

Among those who belriended Mr. Caideron, and made his position in Ijondon ono of comfort and respectibility, was, I lieliovo, tho lato good earl ol Hhaftesbury.

To trace the progress of God's plan we must next go to Bordeaux in Franco. Mr.Crowe.an Engl ish-man who had settled at Bordeaux, had a son nnmod Freder ick . This son wont out, I believe, with a pa r tv ot emigrants to Houth America, bu t did not Bottio there. In the couiso of his wander-ings ho went to Belize in British Honduras , was l)aptiied by tho pas tor of tho mission church thoro on evidence of conversion, and became n moinbor of tha t church . In June , 1847, Mr. Crowo and tho pastor of the church arrived in England to seok sympathy nnd nssiatiince on account of tho treat-ment which tha t strict communion church bad re-ceived from tho committee of tho British Mission-ary Bocioty. Mr. Crowo had ongagod in missionary work iu parts of Central Atnorica whore Spanish 8 spokon, nnd had Iamento<l tha t in tho Spanish

voraion circulated there such words as pennuco tended to confirm Koman Cfttholica in their lalso jeliof. Dur ing his stay in Eng land ho became Bo;iualnted with Mr. Caideron, who hod como to London in 1846. Mr . Caideron had been ongago<l by the Church of England Society for Promot ing Jhristian Knowledge to pu t into correct Spanish

the allerfttions which the revisers nppolnied by tha t Booiety bad reiolved to make in a ilroe vemion of t h e Mow OoTeoaot mad* by « p m o a n a n i M

A m a t . Mr. Crowe found tha t Mr. Caideron took much interest iu the subject ol revision, and felt that tho Spanish verslona needed a more perfect revision than that on which ho had iMwrn engngt<d; but neitlior ho nor Mr, Crowe knew Greek, and I was asked by Mr. Crowo whether I wore willing to become responsible for tho corrcct rendering of tho Greek if Mr. Cttldoron would become resimnsiblo for tho correct exprOHsion of its meaning In Spanish. I met Mr. Caideron and Mr. Crowe several times, and it was agrued tha t if God should pleaso to aid us something should be done. Tho work projmged was only tho correction of chief defects, not tho making of a new version. Mr, Crowo was tho moans of awakening interest in tho project In Scotland. A committee was formed in Ediit-burgh for promoting it, and enough money was raised to make it probable that funds would no t be want ing for tho pr int ing of the work.

I n these events how str iking is tho proof of God'a design to carry out a divine plan I How singular yet how well ordered were tho steps ho took to bring about tho conversion of J u a n Caideron a t a timo when the way of salvation could not bo hoard of by him in Spain I H o w t rue to the t ime needed for tho work Ood had in view his coming to Eng-land in 1846, and Mr. Crowe's coming in 1847 I I t happened too tha t when I met them I waa f ree from any engagements which would have kept me^ from entering on tho work. " Great a re the works of Jehovah , sought out by all those who take pleasure there in ." Ps. cxi. 2. " F o r from hirn and through him andj for him are all things. To hiiu IK) glory forever. Amen .

""HEUE can l)o no greater happiness, saya a writer in an exchange, than to help those wh6

aro in neeil ; and the world is full to overflowing of such opportunities. There a re always some not far awny from us in need of bread and the com" monost charities of life to whom we may minister of our abuodatico, and have God's blessing on our welldoing. T h e highest record tha t one can make ia " ho wont alwut doing good." There nro various kinds of welldoing tha t fall into this general classi-fication ; but we may do God's work in one way as well OS in another . Whichever thorofore presents itself in the providential onler should bo accopted as demanding ou r attention, and with such cheer-fulness as to win tho confidence ot those to whom wo administer ; for whon it is evident that such Work comes f rom tho hear t , and is done for Chriat's sako, there can bo no a rgument against it. God'a care of tho needy comea largely through human nstrumontali ty, nnd wo are to be the willing in-

s t ruments of i t .

Bu t how fow of us appreciato opporlunitiea of helping those iu need. A majority oven of those who claim to bo tho Lord 's poopio seek to evade tho appeals of tbo poor. Such a dispoaition is no t produced by the Spirit of the Lord , I t ia the pro-duct of Iho flosh.
