I BLESS God that tho number of Christian |)hy-

sitiians is multiplying, and sotno of tlio studentH of tho medical collogcs aro liero to-di\y, mid I liail you, and bless you, uud I ordniu you to tho teniier, l>«autiful, heaven descoudod work of A ChrlHtian phyBiciftii, and when you tako your diploma from the Long Island modical coilcge, to look after tho porifhablo body, 1)0 sure also to got a diploma from tho skies to look nftor tho iniporisiuible aoul, Ltit all Christian physlcianR unite with ministers of tho gospel iu persuading good jwoplo that it is not l)ecau80 God ia against thom that thoy Home-times feol depressed, bu t because of tboir diseased ixxiy. I 8up{K)B0 David, tlio p.ialiniat, was no more pious when ho called on ovorytiiing iiutnan and angelic, animato and inatnimnto, and from snowilako to hurrleano, to ])rai80 G.«i, than wlion he said : ' Out of tho depths of hell havo I cried nnto theo, O Lord, ' or that Jeremiah wan any iK-tter when he wroto his prophecy than when be wrote his 'LamentatiouH, ' or tiiat Job was any i)ottor whon ho aaid : ' I know tiiat my Uedoemer liveth,' than whon covered all over with the pus-tules of elephantiasis ho siit iu tho ashos scratch-ing the Bcales oil" with a brokeu pieco of pottory, or that Alexander Cruden, tho concordist, was any Iwtter man whon ho completed tiio book that baa heiiwd ton thousand studonta of tlio Bible, tlnin when under the power of physical disorder ho wan handcuiTod and strait-waiHtcoatcl in Belliiiai (ireou insane asylum.

" 'Oh, ' say8 8t)mo Christian man, 'no ono .night to allow physical disorder to depress liis 8.)nl. Ho ought to live so near to God ns to IKJ always in the sunshine,' Yos, that is good a.lvice; but I warrant tiiat you, the man that gives tiio advicc, haH a sound liver. Thank God every day for licalthful hepatic condition, for, just as certainly as you lose it, you will somotimos, like David, and like Jere-miah, and liko Cowper, and liko Alexander Cruden, nud like ten thousand other invalids, l)c playing a 'Dtiad March' on tbo saiuo organ with which now you play n 'Toccata,' Mv oiijoct at this point is not only to omolliato tho criticisms of the well against those in poor health, but to show Christian people who aro atrebiiarious wimt is tho matter with them. Do not chnrgo against tiio heart tiio Crimea of another portion of your organism. Do not conclude that bccausc tho path of lioaven ia not urborod with as fine a foliago, or tho banks beautifhlly mowed under with exquisite chrysan themums OB once, therefore you aro on the wrong road. Tho road will bring you out at the same gate whether you walk with tho atrido of an ath-lete or ooine upon crutchos. Thousands ol Chris-tians, morbid about their experiences and morbid about their buBiness, aud morbid abtmt tho present, <\nd morbid iibout tho future , neod tho eormoii I nm now preaching.

"Aootbsr pmotiml um of thia lubjoot ia for tbe ironng, tlMory Ui nbrotdi t lwt (hoy flnt

sow their wild oatK, and afterward Michigan wheat. Lol mo break tho dolusion. Wild oats aro generally sown in tko liver, au.l thoy can never It'i pulled up. They so pro-occupy that organ that ' there is no room tor the ihipiantation of u righte-ous crop. You see aged uiou about us nt eighty, erect, agile, splendid, grand old men. How much wil.i oats did they sow l>elweon oigliteeu years aud thirty? None, absolutely none. God does not very often honor witii old ago those who have in their early life sacrificed swtuo on the aitar of ttio bodily temple. Ilotnotniwr, O young man, that wiiiio in after life, and after years of disaipa-tion, you may perhaps have your iieart changed, roiigiou does not change tho iiver. Trembling aud staggering along these slreets to-day aro men, all bent, aud decayed, and prematurely old, for the reason that thoy oro paying for liens they put upon their physical estate before tiiey wore tiiirty. By early dissipation thoy put on their body a first mortgage, and a second mortgage, and a tiiird mortgage, to the .levii, and theso mortgages aro now being foreclosed, and all that remains of their earthly estate tho undertaker will mton put out of sight. Many years ago, in fuliillment of my text, a dart struck thoir liver, nud it is tiiero yet. God forgives, but outraged physical law never, never, never. That has a Hinai, but no Calvary, Holo-mon, in my text, knew what bo was talking about. He iittd in early iifo i>cou a profligate, and ho rises up on his throne of worldly splendor to shriek out a warning to all tho centuries. David, l)ad in early life, but good in later life, cries out with an agony of earnestnessl: ' liemeinl)er not the sins ol iny youtii. '

"Stephen A. Douglass gave tlio name of 'squat-tor Bovoreignty' to those who went .ml West r,nd t.iok ji.iRsession of lands nnd held tlieni by right ot pre occupation. I>ot n flock of sins settle on your heart before you get to twenty-five years of ago, aud tlioy will in all probaiiility keep possession of it by an infernal squatter sovereignty. "I promise to pay at tho liank 8.^00 six months from .late,' says tho proinisory not. '1 promise to pay ray life thirty years from date at tho i)auk of tho grave,' says every infraction of tho laws of your physical being.

" W h a t ? Will a man's l)ody never completely recover from early dissipation in this world ? Never. How aiiout tho world to come 7 Perhaps God will li.K it up iu tho resurrection body so that it will not havo to go limping through all eternity; but get the liver thorouglily damaged and it will stay damaged. Pliyflicinns call it cancer of tho liver, or hardening of the livor, or cirrhosis of tho liver, or inflammation ot the liver, or fat ty degen» oration of the livor, but Bolomou puts all these pangs into one figure and says: 'Till the dartbtriko through his liver. '

"Hesoid loomed to have somo bint of this whon ho reproBontod Promothous ftir his crimoa foatenod to a pillar and nn eagle feeding on his livor, which waa rei^iowed again eaoh night, BO that tho devour-ing ^ n t on unti l finally Herculea alow tlie eagle and rescued Promctheiia. And a dissipated early Iifo asBurea a feroaoitv peeking away and olawing away at the liver year in and year out. and death U tM only ^ronlM tbiit oaa break the powtv of

its beak or unolenoh ita olaw. tio, also, Virgil and Homftr wrote fablee about" vultures proying upon the liver, but there aro thoae here to day with whom it is no fable, but a terrible r ^ i t y -

"Tha t young man amoking olgarotte» and amok-ing cigars ImH no idea that be is getting for him-self smoked liver. That young man has no idea that he has, by early dissipation, BO depleted his energicH that he will go into the battle only half arme.1. Napoleon lost Waterloo, daya before it was jfought. Ilatl bo attacked the English army ijofore it was reinforced, and taken it diviBion by division, lio mighi havo won the day, init he waited until be had only 100,000 men agaiust 200,000,

And hero is a young man who, if ho put all his forces against tho regiment of youthful temptatiouH in tho strength ot God might drive them back, but ho is,allowing thom to bo reiaf(jroed by tho whole army of middle liio temptatiouBi and whon ail thpso combined forces are massetl against him, and no Groucliy comes to help him, aud Bluohor has come to help bin foes, what but immortal dofoat can await him ?

O my young brother, do not make tho mistake thai thousands all around you are making, iu open-ing tho battle agaitiat sin too lato. What brings that express train from St. Louis into Jersey City three hours late?

Frederick T. Freliughuysen, the pride of Now Jersey—aye, the nation—and one of (he piliniH of the Ohnatian church, and for nearly four ycacs practically president of tho United .States, although in tho oflice of secretary of State, in hix ileteruiiii-ation to maku peace with ail the governments oi? this American continent, wore himself out, and while his brain was as keen as it ever was, and Ins heart beat as regularly as it ever did, he was ac-cording lo the bulietiv of his physicians at Wash-ington and NewarJt, dying of hardening of tho liver. Satan, who does not like good men, sent a dart through his liver. Tho last, ray dear frit nd —for he was my friend and my father's friend be-fore me—the last ho was seen in Washington was in tho President's carriage, leaning his head against the shoulder of tho President on his way to tiie depot to take the train to go home to die. Martyr of tho public service, he died for his country, though he died in time of pcace. In his earlier life ho was called the nephew of his uncle, Theo-dore Frelinghuysen, but bo lived to render for God and his country a service that will make others proud to be his nephew, and which will keep his name on the scroll of history as tho higli-est stylo of Christian statesman that this century or any other century has i)M(Juced.

Not in the service of sin No I No I One of tho most pathetic scenes that I ever witu'iss, and I often see it, is that o ' men or women converted in the fifties or sixties, or seventies, wanting ' to be useful, but they s j served the world and Satan m the earlier part of their life that they have no physical energy left for tho florvice of G(KI. They sacrificed nerves, muscles, lungs, heart and liver on tho wrong altar. They fought on tho wrong side, and now, when their >word is all hacked up, and their amtouni tion all gone, they enlist for Immanuel, When the high-mettled cayalry horse, which that ftian spurred into many a cavalry charge with ohamp^ ing bit, and flaming eye clothed with thunder, is worn out, and spavined, and ring-boned, and •prlng-halt, ho ridos up to tho great captain of our lalvation on the white horeo and offers his services.

Huppoac this to lio no then, tho rule of the Methndist, and tho terms of the Prosbytorians, wita tho coiulitioua of tho Baptist wouhl mutually' ex-chido Olio iinother. Is not this simply a fact ?

" Eiitilled to decluro tho terms," indeed ? and from w h; nee " If JesuB Christ and his a[)08tles Imve t.,!.l uH what tho tenns are, then his churches ha\';} noihiiii,' to do but rocogniio said terms and be ..'I'Vi'itied liv them.

" It is utteily inexpedient, says the Doctor ; very well, it is not a quwtion of the holy fckriptures theu, l>ut one of o.xpfiiliency ? "

uy MHIi. ANMIB A. I'UHEToN.

Mr s . F A R R waa » poor widow dwelling ijuite (done in a plain littlo house hidden b y a c l u m

of e v e r greens, at tho end of a narrow lane that turned otf one of tho handsome vilnge streets. She was a dovout woman, laying aside from her earn iiigs, as seamstress, a tenth, so that tier mite was always ready to help on every good work. 8he was focial, active and earnest, a loailer in tho church who spoke hor mind without aoriiuony, am whoso advice at all times was cousidcied safe to follow.

On the Septemlier afternoon when n.ost iinex liected good fortune stood waiting to enter her jwr tal, her words of Jwistlom were, liko half fledgf< birds, destined to come homo for shelter. The ladiea at the sewing society were talking of a poor young man, an orphan, who had grown up in their midst, and having bceu rcccntly converted, fe that he had a "call to preach."

" If there ia ono business more than another ttiat needs careful and prayerful preparation it is the business of preaching the go«|)el of Christ, said the Widow Farr , " I don't believe in every glibtopgued convert settint; himself up an a public leader and teacher, and throwing himself ui>on tho community fqr Bupjwrt. Le t these young men re-tain their secular employment and devote their leisure to personal work among unconverted friends and neighbors, and talking in the social meetings. If they set themselvea up as preachers, their zea will outrun their knowlc<lge, and their sphere ol usefulneas will be a very uarr(iw ojie. Now-a-days tho intelligent, reading, general public demand an educated ministry, and tho spirit of (ho age needs an ordained ministry. Churches ought to l)o par-ticular about licensing uneducated young men to preach. They don't know what mischief thoy may be doing some small church in the obscure fields, and sigh for the good old days when a man was held in reverence who had fitted himself by long years of study and been set apart in solemn form with prayer as the servant of God. If the Lord has called James Hill to be a shepherd of sou^s ho will open the way and provide the means to fit him for the work. I t doesn't eilucate a person to con-vert him. Education means money provided in a natural way. I don't expect a miracle to be per-formed."

She thought of Mrs. Nims, who was worth her thousandB, and Mra. Ames, her lens of thousaudB, and hoped that hor words might prompt them to do something for their yoUug brother.

An hour later, when walking homo in tho twi< light, Bhe was over-taken by James Hil l , who brought hill rapid steps into unison with her slower ones aa they talked of tho state of tho church and •T tho abounding goo<)uc88 of God,

Aa they reached ths poat-oflico she said, " I wish you would look in bo* 76. I may have a letter."

Ho returned with one immediately, to hor sur* prite for she had few correspondents.

" I t ia a mourning envelop, and is sealed with black," he n i d .

It aet the good woman into a flutter, although •he laid repeatedly to the young man, who still

oousiderately walke<rby her side, " I have no near relaiivea, and I don't know why any one's d<&ath need u|Met me «o."

Aa she reached home, found the key under the step stone, and unlocked the door, she asked her companion to-come in, for the letter had seemed to surround her with an unwonted gloom of apprehen-sion.

Tho lamp was lighte<l, tho letter serutiniiied, the hand-writing couimente«I on, and at length one end neatly pared ot! with tho pcit<sors. It was a lawyer's letter, apprising her of the death of an aged aunt , who had died ihtoatate, and informing her that she thus became heir to five hundred dol-lars.

Tho most unexpc tod thing, she exclaimed. " It is liko a miracle I " and with the worda oamo a thought of the opinion she had so lately expressed tit tho newing-society ; " Tho Lonl will not perform a miracle, l lo will provide the means in some na t -ural manner.

Turning to tho young man, who seemed to heartily rcjoico ai her good fortune, she said,—

" Tho Lord sent me this money that 1 might hand it over to you to prepare you to preach his wonl. You are to take it, use it judiciously, pay the interest to him in souls and to mo in a gowl reiwrt ol your progress onward and upward. 1 havo always wished I could do moro for tho cause of Christ in the world, and he has given mo tho opportunity. I t is not necessary that you should tell anyone about it, as it would give rise to a great deal of unnecessary talk,"

Tho earnestness of her words was so convincing that he accepted her offer without a pro'est, say-rtg- " I havo been praying that the Lord would

giv -le somo proof if he wanted me to take up his work. I will not doubt that my prayers are an-swered in this way." ^

The secret of the legacy remained a secret for some months, then a cousin who had received a like

poor widow's portion, and finding her obduratoand uncommunicative endeavored to learn through the neighbors where it was, invested, and so the matter caked out The widow was surprised that so

many people were interested in her nffairs and so anxious to pay her a high rate ot interest on small nans ; but she kept her own counsel, saying only that she was perfectly satisfied with her present in-vestment.

Meantime, along with the talk of the widow's )enuriousne8s, for she bad not in any way changcd ler manner of life and no ono could tell of her mak-ng an extra purchase, was tho wonder how James i i l l was managing to get along through college,

and also accounts of his success in bringing souls to repentance, for he preached as he had an opfwr-tunity here and thero. Alrout this time tho ques'^ tion of repairing tho church came up. A paper was carried around for sulworiptions and tho sum sot down by Mrs. Far r was so small as to give rise to a great many unkind remarks. People said what

ley thought, and those suspicions were repeated as facts until every oup looked askance at the un-suspecting w. jf>w who went quietly along tho even tenor of her way wondering, indeed, why tho neighbors did not ruii in, but never mistrusting

lat she was being set down by them all tu a pious fraud.

When tho church WHS finished James Hill waa invited to preach tho re-dedication sermon. The

lliage folks were all very proud of him now, and I very anxious to entertain h im; but all of their

nvitationa were quietly declined,

•• Where ia the Widow FarrT " ho asked on the eventful morning of his arrival aa he waa ahaking landi right and left, and being told by iK>me <K)m*

munioative person that aho waa n o t ' be out, he asked t— ,

" Who ia with her f Every one a p ^ a r a < to" be hero." u '' I ^

" Well, tho fact is, ahe U able to hira ^ a nuraoj and we have mudo up our minds not to humor her in her ijenuriouaneBs," and theu came the atory of the one dollar she bad Bubacribed to the 'bu i ld ing fund.

Tho young minister buttoned up hia coat. " I will l)e back before the services begin,'' he said.

" But the Cbiiaiion in tho vestry ia just ready.' " I do not caro lor dinner," and he was gone, to

every ones surprise and disappointment. ' " He has gone to the Widow Farr 's ," said some

one who had watched his tall form speeding down tho street, and when presently somo one followed to urge hm presence at the elaborate lunch, thoy found him nmking gruel and tea for the widow, whii wa.-! sitting in her high back rocking-chair with her denr motherly old hands folded in her lap. When urged to return to tho church he ins i s t^ u|>mi sharing the repast he had p r e p r e d , saying that what was good enough for his best earthly friend was quite good enough for him.

" I l ls best oartlily friend I " waa iterated and re-iterated when his woids were repeated in the crowded vestry. " What does he mean? "

They understood hib meaning presently, for when he arose in the pulpit to begin his sermon his care* fully prepared manuscript was laid one side and ho proceeded to speak to them out of tho fullness of his heart, taking for a subject, " T h e Widow's Mite." He called no names, but ho had a good memory, and there were very few of tho town peo-ple prcacnt who had m t at some time, in sickness or aflliction, received from Mrs. Farr consolation or kindness. The story of the legacy came out, of course.

" Bhe gave only a dollar toward the building fund ," he said, " but she ban given you the minis-ter whom you havo been pleased to invite to preach

amount and spent it bethought him to borrow the I your dedication sermon, and who hopes to remain with you until your hear ts— that are so hard that you have neglected one of God's chosen servants —, may bo broken by an outpouring of hia love."

That was the t)cginning of a great revival that continued until many wore brought into tho church and tho gospel of love prevailed throughout that community. With James Hill it is always a time of refreshing. The Lofd has proved that ho called him to the Work. Tho Widow Far r has her home with him. He calls her mother. I need not add that she has never regretted her investment, and it is not surprising tliat she is fond of whispering to tho well to do i>eople with whom sho is constantly coming In contact:—

By huptism I mean (he immersion in water of it candidato possessing (jualifications required by tlio Scriptures, Should ii candidato be imiilerscd in water who did not possess tho Scriptural prere-quisites, his immoraion would not bo baptism, so that, should a sinner subsoquent to such immer-sion, receive the remission of sins, it would still IMJ remission of sins before baptism. To this de-finition I am sure my friend will not demur.

By remission of sins is meant, what is intended by the very strange expression to be heard in my opponent's proposition threo days hence; viz., " pardon of past sins to a i)enitont believer."

" tjalvation^' is used in that comprehensive sense, so general in the Scriptures, including tho soul with its deliverance from guilt and condemna-tion. B y l i ^ blessingB of salvation, is meant those blessingfl presented to us in the gospel by tho uso of terras that are generally rocognixod as the cquivnl-ents of remission, or those which include i t ; sucli as New Birth, Now Creation, deat^ to life, adop tion, justification, etc.

I am going to affirm most sincerely and 0[)enly, that salvation, with remission of sins and liUce bless-inga is received nErouB baptism. That a sinner becomes a child of God before baptism, and that immersion without these blessings is not Scriptural baptism. My opponent, with a zeal worthy of the truth, will deny, and will try his utmost to over throw those righteous"affirmationfl; and then three days henco, he haa engaged himBolf to prove, or at leaat try to prove, that all these blessings are in, or beyond the water. Baptism has its blessings. Church membcrBhip, church privileges, with greater usefulneBB, happiness, and rewards belong to baptism, but these are not liJke blessings of salva tion. A man may be forgiven, juatified, saved, and have all hia worka burned up. I do not deny that auch a man sufTers loaa, but I do deny that he loses his eoul. He himsolt is saved yet so as by (Ire. H e haa tho " like bloaaingB of salvation " but not tho other blesainga belonging to baptism and obedience. My friend opposos mo with tho view that without baptism there ia no salvation, not oven to what ia called a penitent Miover* U o is here to preach what Mr. Campbell calls " tho gospel in water." I am hore to preach th«) gospel of the grace of tho Bon of God.

In eondueliog tho discuBaion in tho affirmative of my propoaition it dovolvea on mo to preaont my arguments not aitnply with reference to the propo-sition to be proved but alao with reference to^the isnte to bo disouBsed. This is nooeaeitated by tho preaeuoe of an opponent whose or.poiing views lead bim to deny my propo«itiOD,uid to sfl«k to ovorthrow p y Itfitimtnti, U O M I M M U M wonld bt m the way of

•tho WHyt>i'"truth tliat is evil sjink- ii of.

Wo agroo in tlio nnniiiial slatcniciiiH that a man must ho forgiven, jnirged, jfiirilieti, \vi\ahu<l, cleaned ; hut we dilJer widely aw to the way to ihcHe, at) to iho uhcrr lui'! ^'•/im lunl jc/iji. I niiinn that wo receivc ihese when we hcliove in C iu i s t ; Hiy opponent pays no, not." till we are l)apti/.etl. I don ' t believe tiiat wo ever tliua receive them, or over will, or over can.

We Hgrctt tlnvt u ninn must he snnctificd, Justi-fiod, ado])t»'d, s a v e d , — h u t how, when, where? My opponent thinks tho way to these is Implisni, tha t tha t ia the t ime and plaee. I th ink thia ia a fatal uiiaiako ; and I nni heie, hy (unl 's helji, to show tho better way.

We afirco that men inuat boconie iliaciples, chil-dren , heirs', Piiinta, hut how, ,vhen ? My opponent thinka haptiHin is the way. This i - f a t a l , if true, to the milliona who hnvo die<l iu ho|)o without baptism ; ami if not true it is fatal to tho niillion.'i who have died wiili a-hope that it is true.

We iiorhaps agree that man must he regenerated, recreated, qnickoneil, reconciled, translated from darknesa to light, and from death to life, but how? My opponent will answer again, with at t jnt jr ian energy, tha t baptiam " in in order to," hut wateti r.nd pray while I try to ahow the way ot life and salvation.

We agree that nmu must receive tho saving mcrcy and ^ra'-o of (jtixl, hut when, how"' My opiK)ncnt is here to Hlhrin that liaptisni " is iu order t o ; " but I will take pleaanro in tryiuK to teach him the way of tho i-ronl more perfectly.

" T h e bap t i zed !" W h o are the purchased, the rodcomcil, tiie called, the , chosen, the predestinated f My opponent th inks only tho baptized. He will tell you that baptism now aaves UB. I don't hcliove a word of it. H e will toll you that tmptism is iu order to remission, and in order to salvation, with all of ils like blessings. This is the way tha t seems right to him, though the way therool is tho way of death.

H o may offer other terms, varying the sound, but in no case will thoy vary tho issue. Would he substi tute obedience ? By that ho means baptiam, Will he say obedience to Chr i s t ?

None hut the baptized aro sanctiliod, justified, adopted, waved. None hut tho baptizui m e diaciplea, auints, chi ldren, heirs. None but the baptized havi- U-en quickoned into lifo or trana-latcd into light. Nono but the baptiked are re-deemed, reconciled, elected, aavoci. Baptism ia all in al l ; and w ithout baptism yo aro nothing but flinnera, aorvanta ot Hatan, sona of perdition, de-ceiving and being deceived.

The Scr ip ture that doea not contain baptism, or water, or aoinetliing that can he constrnoil or inia-eon.strued to niciui baptiam, is not only uaclosa, hut generally antagouiiitic to my opponents doctrine. It there is tio water or indications of water in the paanage il is ,counted ol little or no importance, Matthew, Mark and l juko haa each a verse, which being niisunderfitood is claimed by my friend to aupiKirt hia doctrine. Mark haa another attributetl t.) liini, but which ho never wrote, and by twisting ail the ooninion sonacout of that , my fr iend thinks it (iup|)orta hia prcqwaition. John hixs one, firat iiiiainterpretwl by anti Chris t , and in tha t misintcr-[irotation my friend claima his proposition. Acta haa two, with one base interpretat ion, and those ore confidenily claimed in support of the opposing proposition. Koinana has ono,Coritt thian8one, Gala-liana one, Ephesianaone, Ti tuaone , and Peter one. Those contain tho word baptism or something my oji-poncnt thinka amella or smacks of water, and these are claiino<l in support of hia pro|)osilion. Then thero is ono in .Ininea that apoaka favorably of woiks; and thia the gentleman thinka means bap-tiam, though ono ia singular and tho other plural.

Now do you wonder what ho can do, or will do with all the other paaaagos in Mat thew, Mark , l iuko and .lolic. Acts and Roniana, 1 Corinthians, and (iahuiana, Kpheaiana, Titua 1 I 'eter; and with increasing wonder do you aak what use have thoy for all these Epistles that do not contain water or baptism ao they can use them. 2d. Corinthians, I 'hilipinans, lat , and 2n(i. Thessalonians, Ist. and '2nd, Timothy, IMiilemon, Hebrows, 2nd. Peter, first, SOCOIKI, and third John , Judo , and Itovelation? Why all theso epistles as a whole, and all theao iiinoty-rdno hundrotha of those quoted from, if my friend's proja)8ition is tho simple gospel. Seo how tho Scriptures he claims will prove to him a cha»-tisement of whips while the ten thousand o t h c n will prove to him a chastisement of scorpions.

Now inatcad of distorted views of a few isolated pasaages, let ua with eyes to see, and oars to hear, and hearts to receive, walk for threo days around the walls of aalvation. Lot us mark well the chief corner atone, together with tho whole foundation, even the "living stones" that are built thereon; and when wo shall see how compaotly theao are builded together, and how forever secure tho "cap. stone holds tho walls, lot thero then go up from re-newed hearts, the exultant shout of''grace unto it.''

Salvation is thus comprehensively rovoale<l for our comprehonsive understanding. With this clear and f\ill statement of tho situation, and tho issue*, I proceed with all dlligonee to provo my positions by laying before you, first tho two ooveniuita.

Of ; the struggles and triumphs of the o U Broad MoiwI thoro is no mention, dan that bo a History of Baptists whore that light fountain Is ignored? ^

John Canne was for many years pastor pf the Ancient English ehurch, Amateidftm. In 1084 ho puhlishetl a book entitled, "The Necessity of Separation," showing forth tho , nnaoripluralnisi of the Episcopal church. It was widely olroulatod iu England, and its results were felt through all raaks, and had much to do with the downfall of Bishop Laud's high churohiam. Canne visited Bristol, England, in 1041, a year before the great civil war. "Thia Baptist man," aays the Old Broad Mead records, " was eminent in his day for godlintss and reformation in religion, having groat undersUnding in the way of the Lord." Seven-toon were baptized, among them Mrs, Hnszanl, wife of the Epi/scopal rector, aud Edmund Perrel, who'left a bequest for the endowment of Briatol College. Several of iU early pastors were im-prisoned. But the church grew, and with it the college. In this institution were educated Bonja-rniu Bedome, who composed several of our hymns and was long pastor of a Baptist church. His hymna wero collected into a volume, and they and Mr. Simma' published after bis death. Also John Ryland, sr., Morgan Edwarda, the Baptist his* toriaii of Pennsylvania; Dr. Ash and Hugh Evans, Dr. Rippon, John Sutcliff and Samuel Percer, joint founders with Fuller, of the Baptist Mission-ary Society of England; Joseph Hughes, founder of the Britisli and Foreigh Bible Society; John Foster, one ol the greatest of ,.EngliBh essayists; -and liobert Hall, the firat of English sacred orators* Is it not unaccountable that thia institution aud Its founders aro passed by without a nod of reoognl-tion, while only four lines are given to John Canne, the first Baptist commentator known 7 Would any one believe it, if it.were not beyond question? And thii, while page ofter page is given to Mahomet and Milton and Howard, and sixty^eight pages to Bunyan!

Friends of this work have no right to say it is tho most complete history over written. I t is in many roapects, the most incomplete, and no hasty press notices, can obliterate the fact, change its character, or cover its deficiencies.

Referring again to Dr. Armitage's style — while it ia a small matter — we con but feel sorry if not shocked at many of his expressions.

In speaking of Bunyan's writings, he saya (p. r>2l,) " There ia not a more marked BunyaneaqUu passage than thia." Wo might as well say: " Ti|ere is not a more Armitagos()ue passage than that."

Speaking of the register of the pariah, he aays: " However, be could find no one to serve as a wit-ness hut a priest who was sadly disgruntled," eto. Now what ia disgrunt:e<l? Ia it Engliah? is It cant? is it alang 7 ia it a fit word to use in a B a p -tist history ? But worae than thia, he gives an ac-count of a aister who was expelled from Bunyan's church for having withdrawn communion with tho saints, and adds: Taken altogether, this case ooks much as it his trump card was that terrible

notion of close communion. Now what il a trump card ? Wo confess we do

not know. Not one of our household knows. Nono of us desire to learn. Wo suppose it is bor-rowed from that degrading praotioo of playing cards, and that the trump card In somo way gives value to others —but don't know, that this la tho foot.

and author of tho Great Iron Whotil, if so, I have Bomething to say to you.

In the year 18U0, while reoiding in C'anndA, ii friend called ray attontion to ihat book, and I rend U with great iiitoreBtlaiul reli»h. Previous to thnt timo ray education, prejudices and sympathies hu( uU boon against tiio BHi)li8tfl. I was a I'resby teriau by birth, and up to that time, (my eighteenth year,) ray religious education had bccii from ihe Mothodiet ministry. Tho BnptiHta, I had i)cen led to heliovo, were of all people called ChristianH tlio most to bo feared and shunned. But ycur clear und forcible argument aoon opened niy eyep, and I began to study tho Now Testament, anc very soon after, united with tho Baptist church.

In duo time God colled iiiio to tho work of the ministry, in which I have been engagrd tor nearly twelve years, with blessed experience anil Hiiccenf. ful results. I am now pastor of the Baptist church at Wilson, N. Y.

I have long wished to know, or know of the writer of the ''Wheel," and thank him for it, and relate to him some of ray experience.

[f "thou art the man," please accept my thanks, and may God richly bless you, is the prayer of your humble brother in (Ihrist.

DEAR BAniST:—AIIOW me to say a few wonU touching Dr. Graved late visit to Rome,

and his chair talks on salvation. He talked one night to the white and once to the colorcd congre-gation. He is the best talker I over heard. I lost all note oi time as I listened to him. He is a faithful and fearless preacher. Hia solemn reproof of ihose who profess to bo (JhrislianN, und yet go frora the Lord'a table 'to the Iwll room, and tho theatre, and into the [jleasures of sin, will not soon be forgotten in Rome. I HK 7O I MG taken THE BAPTIST, and wanted to hear Bro. G. preach one tiraa, aud God providentially has granted my wish, and yet I rth not satisfied. The oft«ner I hear him the more I want to hear him. Hhould Bro, G. ever viiit Rome again, or coma near UB, there will ba one unanimous nnd earnest invitation from the white and colored churchei to give talks to eachi Fraternally,

ANALUSAI.

BJfO. SWfNDAljL giwe hU eipositiou of Phil.

1. 23, aud asked what Broth. Graves and

Moody thought of It. Bro. Oakley has filed sonio

objectloufi, and Bro. Swlndull has replied again.

Wo thought wo would give our view Of the JIBSS-

ago troni tho Ilapti^t Oleamr of July, 1881), in

answer to a query covering tho same ground. Tho

passago, cousUlored by Itself, Is of doubtAil Intor-

protatlon, but wo think It will easily admit of nu

lnl«rpn)(Hllou I bat will harinonl/,e with tho gcuo-

ral tcsichlng of Scripture. Paul may have lougod

for ft full luid uninterrupted spiritual communion

with Christ lu his dlsombodled stato, but even

tblH would not imply that bo was going into

heaven Itself, tho true holy ot holies, aud there

SCO CIU'IKI as ho is; lor if so Christ ought to liuvo

told tho (ilRciplos this when ho coinfortod thoin

with a iironiise of his roturii. Does Paul, by tho word analmai, In Phil. 1, 'j.l,

inoan his own death, or departure, or Christ's ns turn Ono or two facts strongly Indicate that ho means his own death. 1. ThouRh tho word rotiirii occurs Ircipiont'y in tho New Testament yet no form of this word is used to express tho Idea in tho l ircck, not even Luke xll. :i6, which speaks of ft iioblcmun who went to rccoivo a kingdom and return, 2. Pftul docs use an inflection of thi* word, anahms, In 2 Tlni. Iv. 6, where ho Is with-out <loubt spesklug of his own death. Thin strongly Indicates that ho expectcd to go to Chr is t ,—to heaven, — T . 11. PETTIT.

We give iho following rendering of the Em-phatic Diaglott of Phil. i. 21-24 ; "Therelore for me to live is for Christ, and to die gain. But if to live in the ilesh this is to mo a fruit of labor; and what I would choosg I do not exactly know. I am indeed hanl |)reB8ed by two •l ings. I have an earnest desire for the returning and lieing with Christ, since it is very much to be preferred, but to remain iu tho Ilesh is more recjuisito on your account."

Tlu'ii the following foot-note : — •'The loosing again or returning, being what

i'nul earnestly desired, could not bo death, or dis solution, as implied by the word depart in the Common Version, because it seemed a matter of indiflerenco to him which of the two, life or death, he should choose; hut ho longed for the ano/imi, which was a third thing, and very much to be pre ferred to either of the other two things alluded to. The word analufai occurs in Luke xii, 8«, and is there rendered return : " Be you lie men waiting for their master when ho will return," ete. Jesus had taught his disciples that ha woulil oome again or return. John zlv. X- Thus also the angels said to them at the ascension. Acts i. 11. Paul believed this doctrine, and taught it to others, and was looking for and waiting for the Savior from heaven, Phil, iii, 30, 1 Thess. i. 10, iv. 16, 17, when his mortal body would put on immortality, and so he would ever be with tbe Lord."

Return, in its ordinary sense, does not exactly express the idea of tbe Greek word, and yet it is used in Luke xii. 86 in referenoe to tka return of our Lord to earth, and I think the Ureek word is appropriate to such a return.

Christ has engagoraents in heavon. "Tho hoavons inust retain him till tho time of restitution of all thinga." ''He is gone to nppefir in tho prcs* enco of Ood for us." "He over lives to make in-tercession fur us." Bo thoHo who oarnosUy desiro to see him must wait until ho la disengagod loosed again.

The following from tho lyes/cni /ieconler touches a tiiatler wbicli needs to he emiihasized : —

" T o o often it Is t rue that brethren think they have no responsibility in reference to thoir do-nomiuational paper, that it is a private entorprlse which tho proprie tors alono must look aftor , while tho brethren are under no obligation to subsicribo for the paper or to push its circulation. There is no siuglo agency moro powerful tor good in this ago than a rightly managed religious paper, and to regard it as simply a pr ivate enterprise is very shorth sighted ftiul foolish. Why are ou r nfe papers owuod by individuals or companies? yiniply because experience has shown that is tho best way to conduct them. When a Convent ion or an Association owns a paper the results aro exceedingly unsatisfactory. Tho business affairs of tho paper are 'ovqrvbody's busiuoss, and so thoy receive annually an airing that is far f rom being wholosomo." We wish our pa t rons (a patron of a paper is one

who subscribes aud pays tho regular prico for it in advance) to consider this paper iis thoir paper, conducted for them, iuterestod most in their beat interests aud tha t of thoir children. Wo wish them interested iu ita greatest usefulnoBS, and thoy must of course be iu its lippoaranco and cir-culation.

Wo do not ask you to givo us more than wc re-turn to you, i. 0., that which is bought with your subscriptions. O u r books will show that Wo have not only no t made one dollar in the last twenty-one years wo have oditod this pajtor, but haro cx-pondod some thousands to live while wo have oditod it dur ing this time. AVo only ask for tho yeara to como a mere suppor t ; bu t wo do want nnd will not dio satisllod without seeing U tho handsomost if no t tho most abio Hud valuable of nil l iaptist weekly papers, and f o r this wo purpoae to labor, soorllloe and pray j and this not aa & ma t t e r of prido o r vainglory, bu t for tho sake of i t s greaiost usofuhiosi. If it is a uaolul papor It* WaoralneBs tjiiu only lio In propor t ion to Ua olrcU' Utloni Will holp «• to tW ihU for you r

own sakoa and tlmt of your obiUlron as well oa tho cauHO of Chris t .

When w« propoae to you to add ono thousand new subBoribers tha t we may b r ing the papA.r out In n now and boauti lul dross, exooUod by no other Daptist paper, it is for your aakos and not ours. You will have more ,,ploaimr« Ju reading i t ; and ytiur ghildrou will bo moro anxious to road it,and take more [dcaMiro In reading it. This will be tho case with your brothron who do not now take it, and wi th yottr nolghbora, rolativos aud fr iends; and its at traotivo appcaranoo will enable you thu moro easily to oxtoud lt« circulation.

Now all of this can be acVcmplished if all of you or the half of you will dovoto a lit t le tlmo next moiiib and the rest of this in soliciting a new an-nual or ft six mouths subscribor to tho paper. (><• It may give you tho ptire and Nanctitied enjoy-ment a Chrlst iau feels ii» doing good it» nmkinjf a useful present to a son or daughter who is raising a family wi thout a Haptist iiaper, or In prcsenilug il to your poor jiastor, a poor widow, lo beuellt her and her chiluren, or a relative or u friend. What more valuable Now Year 's present lau you lurtke? There aro fully two thousaiul among our six thousand pat rons who can well attord to indulge this pleasure and do this good to others, aud thus aid iu pu t t ing thoir paper in u new and elegant dress, Ouo thousand will bo (luito enough to do it, by procur ing only ouo new subscriber each. It can bo doue iu ono mouth an well as iu one year, aud J a n u a r y is tho mouth oi all the twelve t» do it.

The now dress shall bo ordered when tho one tliousaudth namo is entered on the list, which shall bo jiubiished e -h week. Now who will be the first to vote for the new dress? What will tho good Haptist pastors iu this State do for tho Old l launer that has waved so long ami so grandly to give it a new dross? They could add ono thous-and uatnos in ouo week wi th ease if it was in their hearts to do it.

Every ono who will send live now names shall have tho jiaper ono year free. Will not that do?
