3. Somebxty professing to be his diadpie, and kaowing his will, nas the tumexity. to iwt aside his teachings, in whole or in part, and in t h ^ ^ ^ follow the teachings of others.

m H E Y say tbe number of young men preparing

forjthe min is t ry has of late years, material ly

diminL-Uied. A s to Southern Baptists, we have

not the means of exactly determin ing whether

th is is so. Bu t Dr . Strong, last year, showed i t to

be so at the Nor th , by the statistics of institutions

o f learning—since almcst all who enter the minis-

try in the older Northern States now go through

a regular course of educat ion ; and a rresbyterian

writer has been recently g i v i ng &cta in tbe same

direction. -The indications are that the same

UOdc tn ie a t tbe Soatb . Especially is I t to Iw

noticcd that the attendance upon h igher institu-

tions al l over the c<>untry suddenly fell off , the

past srssion—of course w i t h exceptions—doubtless

because thesudden and great revival of business

iu tlie summer and fall of 1879 fired y c u n g men

w i t h the desire to m a k e money , some of them in

the hope of seeking education at a future day , a n d

led m ^ y parents to t h i nk they could not spare

the means of educating their chi ldren, a m i d so

m a n y attractive openings for investment In

boslness.

Y o u n g brethren, look squarely a t this state of

th ings. I n a country o f rap id ly growing popula-

t ion, In an age of boasted, and to some extent

light may make

than hi the other. but in cme they are lighted up more

leather. Monotony and formality may come in, also, in c o n n ^ o n with the readii^ of the SeriptuTes. Why should one riways "Oar B i^^ure te-son IslnsudiachaptCT?^' Why not vary it, as:—

Hie wwla we read were written by Paul in his sectmd letter to Timothy.

We will read from the Ilife of oar Lord, as re-corded by his disdple Matthew.

Thoi sevoileenth chapter of John, containing the savior's prayer for his discipleiv is a rich I rncy to the cimtcb. .

May the Holy Spirit tead as to the true meaning of this 9th diapter of Hebrews.

Finally, why sbfaiid every service end with the Mune benedlcUon? Or why should every bene-dicUon^ more than the ucayers, be always in the words of ticriptnre? The time and natnre of the service, and the theme discnssed, may all be eie-menls to modify tlie form and character of the behedlctiixi. We antiapate a criticism which may be made upon these suggestiions :—

»Oh, ttese are t r i f l ^ t i e mint, the anise and the comnUn," etc.

Bt i t " trifles make perfection ; 'and parfecthm Is no trifle."

" Bat we cannot stop for such things when souls are to be saved,"- may foe the thought of othos. But tlw tact that soals are to tiesavra through the tnetramentallty of unr preaching is the best of reasons for t iving aUentioa U> every detail.

I t seems that some Baptists are beginning to claim the right to go to other tables tnan their own, and these are offended, and very well it Js.

The editw of the Herald Is right In his condn-sion tiiat he has no right to commune in any other charch than the one In which he holds his membership. Howconsiatent it would be for Bru. Curry, of Dallas, to invite the members of Bro. Park's church to uniUi in cddisating the Lord's supper with the ^old First diurch that exdud«d them! How can Bro, Parks invite Bro. Curry and his church membos, to cdebrate the Lord^s nipper wilb his people? Could be a y , "Because there is one loaf, we the many are one b o d y -church—for we all partake of the one loaf?" We lee that our Bro. J a r rd is reviewing (wr position on church communion in the lexat Baptitl, end we hereby appoint our friend and tKOther, Eld. G. A.

Giuner Station, Miss., Sept. 14,188a Answer.—An elder cannot be charged before a

church unlesw the chargc Is sustained by two or thr«>e unimpeachable witniwaes. (1 Tim. V. 191. 2. No charge should even be entertained by a diurch agsliist an dder uiilws so supported, much le»« a trial and exda<i«>n. 3. A minlsterexduded Irwm the cburch of which ho is a member, annuls his coniniigslon to prowch and to dfecharge the duties of a miul-.ter, an«t hi-( pastorship should ceH:ie. We do not Jx-lieve that any man is or ever wjia in the kioKdum and not in the church; we enter the kinKdmii by entering a local church, and when we are excluded from a local church we are ouWde the kinjrfom. We know nothing of a visible kin^lum, and it must be visible It a kingdom—with ordluanc«i niid incmhers and-offii-ers, into which Ctin-stlao baptism introduces us and yet leaves U!« outside •>f a local church. This is Bro, GainbrrH's ci>n«;pliou, and he can explain it probably. If there Ls such a thing, then we suppose the withtirawal of a church fel-lowship leaves the subject In the kingdom, and how he is ever to g ^ out of that, however un-worthy, we cannot conceive. Error confuses.

4. It is not right for ten men In a Baptist Church to try a man for any thing. The church Is the tribunal, and no member cjn be tried and con-detaned on Uie testimony of one witness. If that member denies the charge, and no member can be piU on trial without two or three witnflwee. 5. An exduded person can apply to any other church for membetship, and if she can fdlowship him she can reinstate him in hH rights.

BiWK G r a v e s : - A n oid:iined Baptitl prt-acher takes a letter of dismii»ion from a charch, holds it tw^o or three yetrs, living In a town where there la a BapU.st t-huich, during which time the church granting Kitd letter dissolves, the preacher be-comes a drunkard and immoral In other respects, b r a ^ on tieing » Biptist pearher, but does not attempt to preHcb, hut Hurvet offlcfciUy otherwise, as op|>ortunity uifeis. By what means can he Serlpturally lie de]>o-«d from hix ordination and his ••onnmioQ with the church ? The cause of Christ Is su^ r iog here on hi:) account.

Arkansas, Hcpt., 18S0 - . W. M. Lka . Ahrtwer.—No church has any jurisdidion over

him, but every church thatsees fit can, by church act, express her dlsfdlowship for him as a Baptist minister and member, and publish her order for the benefit of all who may hold a Baptist church responsible for his condud.
