obedieni-e must prtKeed from one who haa author-ity to give it. The enemies of Jesus declared that he alone "spake never man spake," and, "as one having authority." Xo being should give such a command thLs vsitboat having both authority and perSectlou. It Is no small thing tor one, being in human tieah, to say to another, " Follow me." An angel could not bnt tremble to thus enjoin a sinful being. Paul, as an inspired j sell before-haml.

The church i>f Christ b not rei^nslble, therefore, for tho crimes of persecution,—the imlon of church and State, —tho blaaphemotu heresies and a.<«uroptloiis of antichrist In all agcsi, which were absolutely prophesied by Christ him-

W K an- so well pleased with the following

from the |ien of the wlitor of the MUumpp i

Itniii-d, tb.tt we give it the pla.i- of h.inor in our

•silumiis: it siistaias the outlook we ir.ivt- some

iiiontlis ago. Though, through the intlu.-n.f of

iirofesNsional r»-vivalists, with but on.- solitar>- ex-

ception known to there has IK-CII a strong cur-

rent of o| ill ion turned against i<ll deniiminational

lines, w hich has been ts-rioasly felt, and. we n--

gn-t to siiy, yielded to in nearly every plait- where

the n-vivalists have held forth, yet Baptists are

less inclined than at flrvt to invite a visit to se-

cure a union meeting. Honorable mention l-t

made in the article of the prominent part this

paper has sustaine<l in the maintenance of the old

faith and of a true Scriptural I>oUc^•. This should

.-•ertalnly endesir it to the hearts of Tennessee Bap-

tists. ft still occupies the ground It has so fairly

won ; and it ap|>eals to every true Baptist to stand

fast by it in the trj ' ing issiies yet before it.

I > E X O M I N A T I 9 X A I . DRIfT. As a denominat ion, we an- not, as many would

have the world to believe, on the eve of dwtruction by reason of laxity in discljillne and doctrine. No doubt some very grave defects In both of these IKirtlcuIars may be notecl; hut, u|>on th<- whole, we th ink the outlook Is encouraging. Our ot)s«.'r-vatlon must extend over a consT.lerable |ieri.Kl of t ime In order that we form any pni|>er coiu-eption ol the real drift.

As to discipline, and the general de|)ortmc:nt of Christians, we th ink there has lx>en, within less than a hall centurj', ver>- marke<l Impnivenient. Take, for instance, the one sin of dr nk ing and drunkenness. T ime was—with in the nvollet-tlon of many now l i v i ng—when dr ink ing was almost universal. Even preachers were habitual drinkers, many times c a r m n g whisky with them on their rounds of preaching. H o w is it now ? It is hard to And a nreucher who dr inks at a l l ; and. It It is known that one does dr ink , he loses at nncc all his influence. This indli-ates impro\*cment. The It^aders of our churches an-, a«a rule, total-abstl-nence men. Certainly there never were so many men and women to oppose this monstrous social ••vll. W e are of tho impression that dmnkenness is dealt with by our chun'hes much more sum-mari ly thau formerly.

In the Southwest, the laws of chun:h discipline, we th ink , are much better understood than they used to be. True, we hcsir doleful accounts of laxity in church discipline; and no doubt cases occur, here and there, to justify these complaints: so tkr, howe\-er, as our observation extends, the churches, as a rule, are walk ing orderlj*. W e don't know u ckurcb io 9f ississippi that tolerates

reject as soun.l tin,.-, li.iw Ls itV .V ago Ix-gun tho Land-

mark discussion, technlciily M I lalled. The vast majority of I5apti.sts in the South and Wmt , as in all the world, were op|Mk>e<l to ih.-dcK-trines s<'t forth by Pendleton in his tract, and iwwerfully defended by . 1 . R. lirav.-s in the T E X X I X S K K B A I ' -TI.s-r. To bring the .leiioininatiou, with all Its Iiai>ers an.l forces on the nthcr side, to n-verse its ptactirt* seemitl im|ios<-ibli'; and .v.-t it has been measurably done in the South, :uul alm.ist ..•om-pletely done in the .Southwest.

W e ha/jinl nothing in saying that .jur .lenomi-national drift is stmngly in the din-ction of Uind-inarkism. Old men, as a rule, wl!l not change; but young ones will st-*- the path of isjiisistency, and walk in it. l^n . lmarkis in has ev.-n lound u footing in the S.>utheni Bjiptist Theological S.'mi-nary, th.iugli l-2astern brethren iiuiinly control the institution. And th>-re iniist Ix- more of it then' to satisfy th.' c-oascl.-iuv of m.ire than a <itiarter of a mil l ion of Baptists in tb.- S<juthwe-t.

We are, perlm|»s, .Imw ing to the closi- of a very warm dlsi-assion of th.- :ilien-iiiiiii.-rsiiin d . uma , thrust anew on our attention by I'ike. The llcrald says tlmt Pike has as many lives as n .-.it, and will not die at the will of his opiKinonts, or something like that. I^ong may Pike live to write mor«', and write lietter. on.- who has taki>n a jmrt :n thecontrov»-r><y, w.- f.s-l n-inarkably well satistieil with the drifit.'

W e are pleayitl: and niori- pli-asetl, iK-i-.iase, in settling that <|Uestioii, light has lxs<i, thrown on several other eijually in,|iort:int d.K-triiu's. Chun-h succession, as :i .loctrlne, was lK!lieve«l und de-fended by verj- f.-w Baptists thirty or forty years i ago. The old TE.x.viiwEE I T A I T I .sT, and later,, "TIIII B A P T I S T , its sut-cessor, was the .hampion .if; this doctrine. Now, the bod^- of Southern Baji-! tists. If not of America, have come over to tlu- ile- L fense of the doi-trine, or have strong leanings tliat way. W e firmly believe that Bro. Gravi-s may live to si-t- this article of faith almost as uni v«-rsidly I acce|ite«l among Baptbtsas rentrictc<l communion. |

A verj' few .years ago, — from two to six or eight, | — the hosts of Pwlobuptlsts moved down uimn ns, ' and threw the weight of their columns .m the i communion angle in our wall of defen-e. It 1 looked, for a while, l ike w e might n.it tx- able to hold the fort; si-veral of our ministers, more or less noted, w ent over to the enemy; Pedobaptlst papers rang with the shouts of vlctorj-. The coii-tllct Is pretty well over for the present, and we can begin to sum up results; and what are they'.' Well , in tlie fight we lost a few men, —Jetfreys Sawtelle, and a dozen nion- like them, iterhap:.; but, during the time, we gained two for one from the ranks of the enemy. W e did well. And more: Several of those who left iw, in talth, liave returned; such, for Instanci-, as J . Chamblissof Charleston, S. ('., and Sawtelle .if San Fjanclaco. The discussions that followisl the attack referred to have settled and fixed our ia>oplc In the truth for the preaent. Of courso the same th ing wi l l have to te gone over again some day ; but p r t ^ n t dn t t is in the direction of soundness on tho com-munion question: and this Is greatly helped by the utterly wi ld theories rfs-ently adopted by many open-communionist».

In conclusion, we think the outlofik dei-id«-dly checring. The drift is dc ided ly in the direction of higher and firmer doctrinal ground, for which let us thank Owl and take courage.

Mr. Atkinson eays: •• The prevailing opinion in the south that prosperity w II ol necessity ensue ^ m the establishment of num'erous cotton-milbt may not be well groundnl, and it may well be asked whether a section in which capital is si-arce, and tbe rate of interest, therefore, high, can afford in-vestment.; of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in a busines in which only one bundled people would be em-ploved, and not over thirty thousand dollars a rear paid in wages." Pray, let us ask Mr. Atkinson, what is the nest way to invest capital in and make inter-e«t low? How did New England l>egin - with atoall mills, or with large ones" TTic one hundred thousand dollars sugar plantation in lyouisiana pays only Ten thousand dollars wages, yet the eonth has survived thai. The'one hundred thousand dolhus cotton plantation in tteorgia pays only sir thousand dollare wages—the' south' even survives that. To our notion,

l i te Klend of the Jungle.

Tbe l i p r, the tyrant of the Indian jungle, has. a. is due, the precedence over his feebler or les«-dreaded conge-ners. Skirting the b.Tee of ihc Hima-layan ranice, extending east and west for many hundreds of miles, is a tract of land covere<l with jungle, called the Terai; this is his chos. n borne. Cradled in the long, leathery grajw of the jungle, he gambols about in bis inlsuicy playful as a kitten and usually attains, wucn liitl crown, the length ol nine ot nine and a ball feet. Wild hogs, deer, and all I It • larger species of game are his usual prey but sometimes a pair of t-^ers will'lake up their abode withiu a mile of a village, sallying out from their lair every three or tour days to pull down a bullock or a bufEilo, always selecting the tattest. The strength ot their mntt-cular forearms is enormous. Capt. lialdwin says; " I temember, in Assam, a t ger in tbe-'lead of night leaping over a teniT nearly five leethlgh, tcizingoneof the largest oxen, and agai't leaping back, draepinv' tne bullock aKer him across hererai fields and over two hedges." In his ol-i jge. -"-hen his te^th become worn, he n*?!, untre<}uently bet:.imei a man-ratrr and such is tho devartation he then occasions that "hole villager are sometimes, .leoerte*!. and extensive dis

The |K)wer of religion for evil in polii-ical aflair. was never more clearly lllns-tmted as in the pitable condition ol both the Turkish peatoutrr and the Christian. \ dignitary ol Ishun, sneaking in the name of the prophet, deals outinjustlci-le his religionitls. A patriarch of the fJreek church poaseines abKilute nu thority to some extent over the Chris tians, and the one is aa great a tyrant and as powerful an oppressor as tlje other.

How TO CuoosK A F'l.ow.—Plows tre<|uenUy onnoy those who iL«e them, in a most mj-sterious manner. They j refuse to ruu evenly through the j ground, and refuse to keep t o tnc land as they ought to do. On examining them nothing s^eems to be wrong. Kvery proiwrly shaped plow ought ti have a slight concavity u o n g the bas( of the landside, of one-eighth or three-sixteenths of on inch, so that the im-plement will " s u c k " inl'> the soil an I run steadily. This concavity may l)e shown by holding a steel s<|uare to the bottom "of the p lo« . I f this part is' convex, as it not infrequentiv i.-, no matter how high a reputation the ninker of the plow has, it will not stay in the ground, and will annoy the plow-man till the evil is remedied. The land-side of the base shoulil also be slightly concave Jto the tame extent of one-eighth ot an inch or more, and never ought to be convex or bulging, under any drcumstances . I f these apparent ly trifling items are properly attendee! to a t the time of selecting a plow, more trouble may be avoided which often seriously perplexes the plowman, and causes Uui to lose so much t ime which may thus be saved.—Prair ie Farmer.

bitual and liberal consumption ol apples as a preventive of disease, declaring that, " Besides being nutritious to «)n e ex-tent, this fruit is a most beneficial ^ m u -tant to the secretive organs, far nJperior to vinegar bitters, »8n«parilla, buchu, or any cathar t ic ;" and adding, " W e hope some day to see the 'apple cure' introduced, and have no douM that it may be ail beneficial v the celebrated • grape c u r e ' in Germany."
