they are admonished lo make experimenU in

prayer, ll Is at all event*, on -ome such miscon-

ception that infidelity bases Its objeollon to the

Christian doctrine, aud lis ridicule of the Christian

pracllce of making our requests known unto God

"Is St not lor a moment to be suppesed," they ask,

Hhatthe will of iheeternaU" to bo changed by

the will ol hin creature, or lhat the ohier of nataro

and the course of Providence are to bo Interrupted

or reversed, InoWdlence to \heoapriclou9 demand

of a vala mortal ?" No. cavUer, It Is not for a mo-

ment to bo supposcil. No suppoiitloo could be

more Impious—none more Inconslslent w Ith the

doctrine of S^-rlpturo—none mora utterly repug-

nant to tbo convictions of a child of iGod. In this,

as in almost every case, the objecUons ot infidelity

are based upon the gro»sef,t ig-jorance or miscon-

ception of what, is taught lu the ward of God.

Wo have nq desire to evade, but ratlier court the

fulUstlnveatlgatlon of cvory article of our faith,

claiming, however, that every article be taken In

the Scriptural staleiuanl of IL Wo avow the full

ait confidence in God a» God who hearelh prayer In bis repeated pnmiifies to answer our suppllca

Hon, and in the recorded testimony of his people

that Goii liath heard them. "This Is the confi-

dence that we have in him, that if wo ask anything

according to his will ho hearelh us." Nar do we

use languaiie iu any hidden or Indirect sense. In

avowing this conlldenco. Nor do we In any way

modify the promlse^oa which lhat coufldeuce rests.

We receive these proinlios as meaning all and pre-

cisely what tiiey amrin. But we claim, as a mat-

tor of simple jusUco, that they be considered In

th^r Scriptural light and connections, aud then it

will be cleiirly seen t|»al they are vofy far IVom

teaching that tho will of Goil Is to bo subject lo the

caprice of his creatures, or that ho binds himself lo

In onior to a Just view of those promltas we must

samo&ripturoa whlch contain the premise, also

arooerliiia descriptions of persons whose prayers

aro au fbomlnatlon to God. Thus, he says, of one

olaqs, "Then snail they call uiwn mo, but I will not

ia wlU^ Qod'i i j ^ B ^ e promlM,

for example, "Ask and ye shall receive, seek aud

ye shall find, knock and it ahali bo opened wUf you," is addressed, not lo men Indiaolmlnataiyt

but to the disciples of Christ Such pr»in»se« can

be urged by the people of God onlr when they »i«

in their proper position of submiasioa to the will of

God. So one of them aays, "IJ.1 regard iniquity In

my heart the Lord will not hear mo." Ho the ooft-

fldence expressed in a passage quoted alwve, is the

confldenoa of those who can say in the eontazt,

"Now are we the sons of God;" and their oonfl-

donce has this express l imlutlon, " I f we ask any-

thing according to kls will he hearoth us.'' The

promise of a loving Father to his child must not

be appropriated by his enemies

In order to a Just view of these promises we

must take into account the Scriptural condltlona

of all true prayer; for, surely, it would ba moat

unreasonable to consider God as bound to other

conditions. We are taught in Scripture that "we

know not what we should pray for as we ought;"

and, on this account, we are assured that "tho

Spirit helpeth our infirmiUes;" aay, that "tke

Spirit Itself maketh intercession for us," and this

Is true prayer—prayer in the Spirit. Thla har-

monizes with the view given above of tho charac-

ter of those to whom tbo promises are made. Tbe

Spirit who helps our inflrmltles, and makes inter-

cession for us. Is the Spirit of adoption whereby we

cry Abba, Father, and ho maketh intercession for

ns according to the will of God. We do not ask at

preaent how the Spirit helpeth our infirmities, or

our desires Into the channel of prayer; but this is

the prayer to which tho promise Is given, and

therefore, "This Is the confidence that we have In

him, that If wo ask anything according to his

will ho hearoth us.f

Another Scriptural condition of true prayer Is,

that It be oflTered In the name of Christ. He Is tbe

only medium through whom prayer can bo either

oflered or answered. "No man," ho aays, "com-

eth unto the F'ather but by me." He Is tho advo-

cate and high priest who ever llveth to make In-

t^rcoiislon for us; and it Is on this consideration

t h a t the promise turns, "verily I aay nnto you,

whatsoever ye shall ask tho Father In my name he

will give It you." He is the only way whereby

wo have access to the Father, the only saorlflee

through whoso blood wo have boldness to enter

into the Ihollest, tho only high priest through

whose Intercessions our plea can bo accepted. All

this is acknowleilged in ;all true prayer. We dis-

claim all pretensions to bo heard on our own ac-

count, and claim to be accepted and answered only

for his sake. Wo profess our faith In the teatl-

mony of God concerning him, tbat in him Ve have

psrdon, peace, aud eternal lUe. Thlg Implies our

ronnnciation of ajl that opposes the will of his |Fa.

ther and our Father, And who that knowa the

meaning of all this, could think ol profaning the

holy name of Jesus by using it as a plea fWr aBf-thlng that la not In barmony with the will of thA Father. Wh*«n we rest our cause aponhla lat«roei-alon, who would presume to expect hIi advo^jr of a right that oontravanes fcli dlvliio will. Thtti, whether we consider the partlaa to whom the

pronlsea are made, or the Bcrlptaria dondltldns of true prayar,:whlth orlglnatas In tb4 Int»r«^U>d of the Spirit, ia offered In the name of JMat , add 34-

aay thing contrary tothfBvllirof God, or Inoon-

alstent with hia (flory. So far »s true prayer Is the

nteroeaaionofthe Spirit, It must be aeeording to

the wIU of God, And If, In the obacorlty of thla

present aUte, a believer aska anything In the name

of Jesus, regarding which tBe will of God la not

known, the very fact of aaking In that name Im- \

plies tbat It ia asked «u aubmlaslon to the

the Bother. The end in view la atlll that Ood'e>

will may be done, however we may be mistaken,

regarding the Ume, means, manner of Ita acoom-pllshmentj and thus, " i f we know that h« heareth

as whaltoever we ask, we know that we hava tbe

petitlona that we desired of him." When Paul

.waaaubjected to* bedily allllcUon which; in hia

own view, disqualified him fortheaor»iceto which

be waa called, ho Seaonght the Lord thrice that it

might be removed, :and received the aasurano^

"My grace Is sufficient for thee, for my strength la

perfected In weakness," his prayer waa answered,

thongh U a way v«ry different from what he ex-

pkted. He had the peUUon which he desired of

him, not in the removal of the affliction, but In the , ^

aMurmnoe that the afBictlon would be made sub-

servient to the very end which Paul feared it would

hinder; and fully satisfied with theaiiiwer,he:eald,

"Moat gladly therefore wlllll glory In my InHrmlty,

that the power ef Christ may rest in me."

The child of God can never ceaw ardontiy to de-

sire whatever he knowa to be according to the will

of God, and subservient to his glory. I f his power

were equal to Us desire tho object would at once

be accomplished. But, while he is oeasclous that

he is ntterly destitute of such power, all that

remains Is that his IhofBcient will sbonld go out

and Identify Itself with the will of him who speaks,

and it is done; and since he has a divine warraut

for It, his ardent desire asaumes the form and flnda the utterance of confident auppUcation In » name

tliat always prevails. H e r e It may be demanded: "If, then, It Is the

will of God that is done, what doea prayer avail, or^ how does it eflect tho issue?" I f it availed noth-ing, the child could not do less thatt nttar hie ardent desire, "Thy will be be done." But we are t<4d that "tho effectual, fervent prayer of a right-eona man avalleth much." Nor will the Infidel be warranted In disputing tho truth of this, because a poor, short-sightod mortal, Ilka himsolf, canaot explain how it avallii or how tho Spirit of God slioald make tho prayer of a believer the vehicle ot hia intercession. Thtf will of God mast be accom-plished in all things; all creaturea combined could not thwart I t Yet Ood haa been pleased to assign an iBiporUnt place to the agency of Wa aervante In carrying out his purpoaea. They are "laborera together Irfth him" In carrying out bla designs, though he no more needs their oo-operaUon than ho mho fed tteuaandii with five loav^w aeeda the ooi^perattoB ol the hasbandmen or the Infltience of aunahlae and ahowera in giving bread to all that HVe.

Mncli, it Ii true, that has the sound of prayer in buroan ears, falls dead and tneffeotnal; for God is not dcoetred by words upon tho lips when there is

. not beblud them a soaMntent upon the aooompHsh-iind the manifastationi of bis

glory. To many professed suppliants it may bo said, "Ye ask and recolre not, became ye ask amiss,

| th '« t ye may consume it upon your own lusts." jT l^e t r prayers if not an empty sound, are tho P breathings of solfihness; or, when net the utterance

of selfishness, the doubt in thslr heart belles tho

^ E B n n s n

supplIcaUou of their lips.''' There Is a plain direc UonregarJlng prayer which is often mUUndor-stood or misapplied. The dJwotlon Is, "Let hlui ask In faith, nothing wavering;" and the misappre-hension is, that a man whose habitual statu is one of distrust or unbelief, has only to "work up" to a firm belief on any given occasion in order to claim the promise which belongs to the prayer of faith. Ba t the word, "wavering" in that direction relates, n o t t o a man's s la teof mind with reference to a par-ticular object, but to his character or habitual state of m i n d ; for it is added, ("He that wavereth is l ike a wave of the sea, driven of the wind and tossed." Not more positive Is God's promise to hear the prayer of the Iwliever than is his assurance of the vanity of the prayer of the waverer. "Let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord." Men cannot come and insult God by making oxperlments in prayer, pretending to plead with b im In order that they may see what the result wiil be. The prayer of faith can be offered only by a.bellever; the Spirit makes Inteicession only in the heart where he dwells; and prayer, In accord-ance with the will of God, can only come from a soul whose ruling desireand aim is that the will of God may bo dene. As Lelghton has it, He that hath nothing of tho Spirit of God cannot pray, at a l l ; ho may howl as a beast in his necessity or dis-tress, or may aslf words of prayer, as some birds learn the languaKO of men, bu t pray he can-not." And again, "Only the children call God their Father, and cry unto him as their Fa ther ; and therefore many a poor, unlettered Christian, far ouUtrlps your school rabble in this facul ty; be-cause it is not ^eflrcctually Uught in those lower academics. They mus t be taught in tho school of God as chlidren of his bouse, who speak his lan-guage. Han may give spiritual rules and dlreo tions in this; and such as m a r ba usaful, drawn f rom the word, which furnishes us with all needed precepts; but yon have still to bring these Into tho •eat of this faculty of prayor, the heart, and sUmp them upon it, and so to teach it to pray, without whieh there is no prayer, This is the prerogative •royal of bim who framed the heart of m a a within him."

I n bis last discoui^ie with liis disciples before b e auflbred, ^le Lord made this the condiUoa on whieh he promised the answer of prayer, "If , ye abide in iae, and my words abide in ydu." Then ^ n i y is the heart tbf reoeptaoie, and then only are ^^•'.Worda.the utteranco of the Teryuaaind of Jeao*.

MO. II. i r U T BIIO, ROBEKTSON Is not satlsflod with AJ asserting tho right of the ChstUnooga member to sit at the tablo of tho Nashville church, but ha assei-ts that H Is her place (tho Nashville church), and of course that meanit U Is hor duty, to know that the church at Chattanooga Is of hor faith and order, and of course that she, In all rcspecta, U her-self In order, and that the visiting member Is him-self In geod standing in the Chattanooga church. If 80 thou It Is tho duty of each and evory Baptist church to know the faith and order of ovory other Baptist church, and to know tho standing of each and ovory member of each and every Baptis'> church of like faith and order. Could anything b« needed to exhibit the manifest absurdity of Bro. It's, position ? And yst tho statement Is a logical cenclusion from his premUos.

Again, says Bro. Truohoart, quoting from the same London Confession: " T o each of ths4o churches thus gathered according to his mind God hath declared iu his word ho hath given all that power and authority which is in any way needful for their carrying on that order in worship and discipline which ho hath Instituted for thesa to observe, with commands and rules for the due and right exerting and executing of that power."

I t Is concadod by all that tho church Is com posed of moral agents; that these agents are proper subjects of dlsclplino; that wholesome discipline Is needful In proiier cases, and promotive of good order, good morals and piety In the members of the body. Indeed, it will bo conceded that the health of the church, as the body of Christ, is largely dependent Upon the prompt, uniform, Arm and Judicious exercise of righteous discipline.

This power, conferred by Christ, the head, is an essential attribute of a church of Christ. Is not tho church responsible to her Head for the exerciss of dUc!])Iine ou all proper occasions? Is she not responsible to her Head for the order, purity, peace and healthy condition of tho body ? Is iho not un-faithful and derelict If she lets fall from her hands the reins of authority, and winks at dliordor and Immorality? How thou can tho purity, peace and health of tho body bo prsservod when there is nO discipline? and how can dhclplino bo admlnislereti when there Is no power? and how can there bo power for discipline when there is no rightful jurisdiction? and how can there bo Jurlsdiatlon when thcro is no membership, no relation of sub-jection to tho body as Christ'f agent ? Now clearly tho church at Nashvlllo has no power of dlsclplino over the membership of the church at Chattanooga, because she has no rightful Jurlsdfctlen, and has no Jurisdiction becanso there is not the relation of member and body,—not the relation of subjection to r ightful authority under Christ, which must

.Hxist to give Jurisdiction, How then can the ckurph at Nashville protect her Lord's table? and j}ow^ can she guard it against the unhallowed touch of fornicators, tho covetous, idolators, revelera, drunkards and extortioners ? Is it not her province and duty to Judge her owir members, — " t h e m that are w i t h i n " tiie body ? And what has she to do " to judge them tha i are withouti ' her own body ?

Bobert-son would do well to attend to his own buslneei, and keep up his own fences; and they say too that Bro. Kobertson misinterprets the divine Injunction, " look not ovory man ou his own things, but every man also on tho things of others 'I (Phil. h. 4 ) ; that

I there are abundant opportunities of rendering neighborly assistance, of giving counsel «nd ad-vice, without nosnig around to find a bad smell on a neighbor's premises, or prying about to see what ho may not wish yon to see.

Again, the Lord's supper, as a divine institution, was committed to the keeping of tho churches, each for herself. (1 Cor. v. 11.) They were to keep tho ordinances as they wore delivered to them. How were they to keep them ? See 1 Cor. V. 11. i ieep them in purity, simplicity, and iu fidelity to the original pit tern. (1 Cor. v. I I . ) Let no unhalluwod fingers touch tho sacred elemsute. I-«t not the " heretics como to the feast."

Tho church is responsible for the keeping of tho ordinance. Tho members, each and aU, are re-sponsible for its keeping. This Is one of the sDoclal duties each member owes to tho body of Christ. And, in return for fidelity In this duty, each has tho privilege of sitting at the table, —each liaa that divine joy that wa lu ever upon the discharge of duty. Here wo see some reason why those who have guarded tho housshold should share the )oye of tho fsinlly. But wkat responsibility does a member of the Chattanooga church owe to tho Nashvlllo church that he can claim the right to sit at tho Lord's tablo in tho Nashville church? Does he bear tho burdens of tho chnrch ? Does ho sharo the responsibilities of the church ? If not by what reason, human or divine, does ho claim tho r ight? and on nha t authority Is his claim founded?

A right with no duties attached 7 A right with no burdens ? A right witk no responsibilities ? Oilr civil law has a defense for every right and

for every wrong a remedy. And I suppose In our Baptist church polity there is a defense for righU and a redress for wrongs appropriate to each case. Now tho member from the Chattanooga ohurch claims a right to sit at the Lord's table in tho church at Nashville. But suppose (and it is sup-posablo) that ho Is denied tho exercise of that right by tho Nashville church. Hera is a r ight de-nied, how shall It bo defended P Hero is a wrong, accordlMg to Bro. Robertson, how shall It be re-dressed ? Will our Baptist church polity furnish a defense for tho right and a redress for tho wrong ? How? Please answer. A right with no duties attached I A right with no burdens I A right with no reeponsibilltles l A right without an ade-quate dolonsel A wrong without an appropriate rsmetly I

Bro. Robertson says that tho right to the supper is as broad as tho right to mombershik). Admit it . A n a n is baptlc'ed into a church, into membership in ono church, says Bro. R. in his paper t f April tho twenty-second, oriticizing Dr. Ford. Very well. By a vote of the ohurch he is received to membership by baptism. Ho is received into the memlranhip of the churoh only which otdom his baptism, not into the menbership of two or more ohurches. Hia baptism la onco for «U, and will not be repeated when once properly performed.

There now, my dear Bro. Robertson, you see how tho case stands.

M. Pendleton, A. P. Williams, Richard Fuller, W. W. Gardner, Prof . Curtis, and J . J . D. Rcufioo; and on tho other side wo have our dear Bro. Robertson, in

the solitude ol his own orlgiuallty." I say, Bro. RolierUon, whom shall wo follow ? Follow some-body wo must. God has so mado us that wo must follow somebody. Wo must, if true to God, follow the best i l g k ho glvos us. If doubts arise follow that light which led our fathers. The samo Holy Bf i r i t will guide us. /

W e look to our Bibles for l ight ; wo look to the

" liancllfy them in thy truth: thy word is truth." I feel assured ray dear Bro, Robertson, strou*

and Abie as lio is, Is yot too pious, too .»iBmble and modest to say that we should follow him but rather the fathers, and that ho will agree with mo that there should bo an end of controversy, y

UobcrtRon cot too busy to discus.^ the communion q u e a l o n with Bro. Harral. Bro. Uoberuon's laM arj,ument (or rather a'ssumption) is. that "a mem-ber of tho church at A. may be adjudged by the church at B. to be worthy «f her own membership, and niav therefore tie given the supper by her. I would 'a'.k Bro. K. where he gets this right to "judge them that are w i t h o u t ? " aud what would the judg.nent amount to? They are indep^ndont o f his jurisdiction. Ho invites all w h o know themselves to be in hwkI staudin^ in their o w n c h u r c h , leaving the judgment in their o w n hands, and who ever heard tell of a dau.iint; or drinkim? memlwr that di<l not know themselves to ^ in giKxl standing in their o w n chnrch, where it is tolerated?

I have Been much tine country in my travels, thougii the crops are much injured by the drought . I had no thought of f lopping moro than three or four days in Ea^t Arkansas, but the jwople laid strong hands on me, and I have remained as mauy weeks, and know not when I shall get awi;y.

BKi CKEKK C H U R C H I T has l e e n inv nleasnre to spend tho last week 1 w i th Pastor Wi«e in a series of meetinRs at the

above church. For faithful and earnest attendance at all the apiKjintmentR, I have never seen a chnrrh excel Big Creek. The meml>ers are also eesloHS in every good word and work.

Pastor Wise is an excellent preacher, suiMjrior pastor, and withal, a conKonial, pleasant and pious companion. T o know h im is to love and appreciate h im .

There had b w n ten conversions up to the Ume 1 left the nu-eting, and ^eveu applications for mem-bership. Br«. Wise wil l continue tho meet ing wi th tho hope that t h e s e numbers may be largely in-

creased. B ig Creek Is about t w o miles east o f Lucy, In a

beautiful t a b l e - l s n d . - t h c tinest farming country iH W e . t TennctM^ee. Some of the brethren are r i c h i n these va uable lands; almost all of them own their homes. When this church Is a little better developed they wil l demand at least half of a pastor's t ime. There is no other church ot any dsnoinlnalion for several miles a w a y .

Is is it not our duty to show from the word of God, that all such asHuinptions are groundless Do wo not owe it to ourHolvns, and those who are thus deceived, "to test those theories of porfoctlon, by tho infalllal)!®- word of God ?

T h e I ^ a k o r e r a I n t l i e V i n e y a r d . i i p O U tho kingdom of heaven is like unto a man

1 that is an housoholdor which went out early la tho niorning to Lire laborers inlo his vineyard. And when ho had agreed with tho laborers for a penny a day he sent them into his viusyard. And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idio in tho markot-place, and said unto them, Go yo also into the vineyard, and whatHS-ever Is right I will give you; and they went thoir way. Again he wont out about the sixth aud ninth hour and did likowiso. And aliotit tho elaventh hour ho wont out, and found otiiors standing idle, and saitli unto them, Why stand yo here all tho day idle? Thoy say ualo him, fte-causo no man hath hired us. Ho sailh unto them, Go yo also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right that shall yo receive. So wlien tho otou was come tho lord of tho vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the laborers, and give them their hire, bexinning from tho last unto tho (Irst. And when they camo Ihat were hired about tiie eteventh hoar they received every man a penny. But when tho first came thoy supposed thai they should havo received more; and they likowiso received ovory man a penny. And whon thoy had received it they raurmured against the good man of the Iiouho, saying. These last hava Wrought but one hqur, and thou hast made them equal unto .us which havo borne the burden and huat of the day. But ho answered ona of thorn, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong. Didst not thou agreo with me for a penny? Take that Is thina, and go thy way will give unto this last evon aa unto you. In it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil bocanso I am good? Bo the last shall be first and the first last ; for many be called but few choson," — Matt. xx. I-Ki.

This parable Is generally interpreted from tho pulpit as applicablo to individuals, tho unemployed laborers reprosonting sinnors only, and tho vino yard tho service of God in connoction with his church, those who entered early in tho morning reproseuting persons brought in in early youth, and tho penny received for their labor, salvation, those who wore hired at tho third, sixth itnd ninth hours representing those brought iu along later in life, while those hired at the olevonth hour ropro-aent ©Id sinners of sixty, seventy or eighty years. Who is not familiar with the oxpresjkton that such aad such a person was " brought In at tho olevonth hour," and " eleventh hour "innors " ? Those who claimed to havo borne tho burden and heal of the day, accoiding to this theory, aro then tho old fathers and moth rs in tho churchos.

There "kre Insuporablo difficulties opposing tliis iBterpretatlon.

1. Tho excuse of those laborers for standing all the day idle in tha markot-placo can, in no sonso, be rendered by sinners. Those laboters wished lo work, and went, as it was thou and is still the custom in Oriohtal lands, to the usual plaoo whore day laborora went to be hired, aud patiently waited for an offer. Why all did not go to work in tlio morning was because no man came to hire them, and not bepauto they refused to work. Can the ainner of thirtyi forty or fifty, or any old grey* be^lvd •louer of Mvontjr or eijiftitf, in gospel lands,

thUi woiuti fi>r iraAulng (0 enter tho MAntor'^

7 service, ~ beoauso no man haa hired, or odhred to hire? Have not all sinners, from tiieir earlieit youth, board the gospel oflbr, aud been repeatedly pressed to enter tho Master's vliwyard? But In* staad of uhcorfully aiid prompUy accepting It, M did these laborers tha olTor of work, havo they not cerslstantly rejootnd tho profl'or of salvation, and refused to oiiter the service of Ood?

2, Then who evot heard of tho old brethren and sisters of a church becoming angry with, and mur-muring against God, and charging hlin with in* justice, whon they see an old ainMr of eighty vorted, and rejoicing with as great Joy as they Ihoinsoivss over expcrlencod In tho hope of sal-vation i No ono ovor hoard of such an occurrence, and no ono ovor will. Tho oldo*t mombors always rajoice ovor such an ono with joy oven txceedintf that thoy express whon a young person ot ten or fifteen years enters the sorvluo.

.'i. This iuterpretation is Arniiiiian througliout. Balvation is uot tho ollorcd roward for work in God's scrvico; and wo dismiss it, trusting no Bap-tist minlstor will ever again preach or oxhort It In his ministrations, nor Baptist Bnnday-sohool teacher so tnacb it to his class. Salvation Is the gift of God through his all-ai)euudiug grace in Christ Jesus, and not of works, lest any ono should boast. Bill tho Maslor will reward ovory servant according to his works. And so faithful is ho In lids that no ono can give a cup of cold water to one of his disciples, in tiio name of adiscipio, and loss hia reward.

In tho parable of Ihe supper the King made on tho marriiigo of his Son wo saw that those who were Jlril bidden, who were undoiibtodly tho Jews, were accounted unworthy because of their treat-mont of tho King's invitation, and of his scrvanis who l)oro i t ; and that bo sont his sorvants forth-witli out into tho highways and hedges to jier-auado all tiioy f.ound to come in, aud to pursue this course until hia wedding should bo fully furnished witii guests. Tho last blddoii I interpreted as ixj-ferring to tho Gentiles. This prophotical parable of tha laborors I understand as referring to tho self-same two classos of people, the Jews and Gen tiles, but more eApociaily illustrating Ihe fact Ihat tho Gentilos Wou Id be. as they havo boon, callcd at difl'ercnt (toriods in the gospol dispensation

nd entered sent tho Jews,to whom t ho gospel was first proached.

did aiii

Those who wore first callrd, and entered, ropre hi

Thoy (a port ion of Hiein) did answer its call, and ontered tho Master's service. Thoy wore tho first to hear it, and weru tiie first to answer its call Tho first church that was formed was composed entirely of Jews. Paul allitdai to this whon ho says, " I f tho fii'nt fruit bo holy tho lump is also holy; and if tho root bo holy so ttro tho branches." (Uom. xi. 10.)

Tho hiriiiii of tho laborers at diOferont hours of tho day represents tho calling of tho Gentiles at ditreront periods in Iho gospel disponsalion. The Gontihi nations aro well represented as standing ready lo hear the gsspol call; and thoy have been hearing aud accepting It all through the gospol age, and boon rocelved inlo Iho Master's sorvioe: and it is true that soino havo boon waiting all tho day long uncalled. How true Is it that China and Japan and South America and Moxico aro now ovon anxiously waiting for tho nospol to bo preached to theml and, at. tho elovonth hour, thousands of their poopio aro gladly rocoiving i t : and, according to prophoc.f, " the 'sles of tho sea aro waiting lor his law." xlil.'4.)

From tho prophecy of this parable wo learn that tho last ono of tho waiting nations will be visited by the misslonarlos of the cross, and that repre-sentatives of all nations will nltlmatoly be found engaged in tho Master's service. The blessings granted to ono nation will ho Iho same as those bo stowed upon tho others, irrespective of the carli uess or latonoss of the hour in which thoy em-biaccd them.

It is true also that tho Jtiws, as a poopio, always claimed snporlorlly over thoir Gentilo brethren, and to bo desorving of siiporior consideration ; but how true Is i t that tho first called aro to-day laat and tho last first in tho service of the Master I

The argument against

' public prayer is an argument against public wor-ship. The examples and exhortations to worship and prayer fbund in the Acta and in the letters of the apostles are all sufficient to silence the objector to public prayer.

We ask him to read John ilL 13: "And no man hath as-aoendad op to heaven but he that came down from heaven, eveu the BOH of man which is in baavpn." And Acta ii. 34: " For David Is not ascended luto the heavens; but he salth himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, ait thou on my right habd until I make thy foea thy footstool."

I have tested a package of Royal Baking Powder, which I purchased in thn open market, and find it compoaed of pnre and wholesome ingredients. I t is a crtfam ol tartar powder of a high degtw: of merit, and docs not contain eitlit-r alum, or phosphates, or other injurious substances. E. O. LOVE, Tli, I).

I t is a scientific fact that tho Eoyal Baking Powder is absolutely pure. I will go still further and state that, because of the facilities that compnny have for obtaining perfectly pure cream of tartar, and for other reasons dc^nndent upon the proper proportion ot the same, and the metliod of its prepitratiou, tim Iloyal Baking Powder is undoubtedly tho purest and most reliable baking powder offered to tho public. IIENIIV A. Morr, l%. l ) .

I havo examined the open market, and

packages of Royal Baking Powder, purchased by myself in navo found it entirely froo from adulteration ami injurious

subataocea of ail kinds, skillfully compounded and composed of the purest mntcriaia, WALTER 8. llAlNrH, M. 0.,

Prof. Chemistry Rush Mcdical Coiiegi-, Chicago.

The Royal Baking Powder ia composed of puro and wholesome materials In correct porportion. It contains no injurious aulwtanc*-. Tho purity of tlie crcum of tartar employed in this powder is worthy of special mention, «inc«> it docs not

niually present in baking powders in wliiih crt an- of contain the tartrate of l ime tarter of inferior quality is used. H . D . OA«RI.«OH , M . D . ,

Prof. Materia Mcdica, College of Piiarmacy, Chicago.

The Royal Baking Powder peceived tho highest awaril over all competitors at the Vienna World's Exposition, 187.3; at the Centennial, Philadelphia, 187C; at tho American Institute, New York, and at State Fairs throughout tlio country.

No other article of human foo<l has ever rcceivod such high, cmphatic, and uni-versal endorsement from eminent chemists, physicians, scientists, and Boards of Health all over tho world.

NOTE. —Tho above DIAOBAM illustrates tho comparativn worth of various

Baking Powders as shown by tho chemical analysis and cx[icrimt'nts made by

Prof. Pcliedler. A pound can of each powder was taken, tlio total leavening

power or volume in c.ich can calculated, the result being ns indicated. This

practical teat for worth only proves wiiut every observant consumer of the Royal

Baking Powder knows by practical experience, that, while it costs a few centa

per pound more than ordinary kinds, it is far moro economical, besides nlTording

the advantage of better VTork. A single'trial of the Royal Baking Powder will

convince any fair mimii'd person of theaa facts.

I Uav Ihis nteihod ol OJtUing your al-teutlouSo Uie oelebrated Body and Lung ttcane, ^rhich 1 have sold for the but eighteuu yearn, that I may make i t « beodttt, kO any (nper by making i t a far greiitu Jido:! u> voa.

I wii bri«l reocmniandiog t l yon, alwo than elgtiteen years ago, was thurouuhly broken down iu voire t roa e^jessive prenchlng; I c juid speak but a lUtle while without getting hottnte; my throat was generally soie, anJ ejwlly irritated, and iw tone boc*me1l>eary and husky: soon a hackiUK tuugCi set that increased, utktU at the close of a long meeting, my voice failed eutirelv, under the efiecta of a chronic larynguia that soon superinduced bronchitis, which seri-ously threatened mv life, I waa now compelled to dosist from proaching, and, II ptMslbio, overoomo thoue dilfloulUoti, »nd recover the lost treasure, — the voice, t h s t to a minister or iKwyer is more valuable thati gold or jewels,—• or be silent forever. I applied to the moat eminent ph'yaiciana, and wna but little he l led ; save the ejccision of hu elongated uvula, they could t)o nothing but advise i ^ t ; and tlilis I was com-pelled to take. What cuiMed and con-tinued that const&nt irritation and hacking cough, they could neither ox-plain nor prevent. Providence throw the remedy in my way. My wilo waa snflering from prolapsus,uteri, and the profeeinr ol the theory and practice of medicine in the University, of Kanhville Dr. Winston, was her physician, and lie prescribed for her this identical Braes.!, which speedily relieved h?; She com plained ot a "dragging d o w n ; " and no language could oetter ojKpreBs my feelings, and especially after proaching. It occurred to me if it was good for one case of " d r a ^ n g down," why not for another. WiUiout consulting any ono, I procured une largo enough (or myself and put i t on, the first time doubtless it was ever worn by a man for such a reason, and the result was, the ir-ritation of my throat soon quieted, and the hacking ore long ceased, and the voice commenced building uu, until 1 could articulate, which I had not done for twelve months, and verv soon I com-menced to preach agaln.^ 'I hat Brace 1 wore nearly ten yeans withoutcommuni-eating its wonderful advantages to any

one, Docause I thought I WHS using an article that was invented for the use of femjJes only. Privately, to a few special friends who weie suflcrinK hm I suilero<i, I explained the use ol the' Brace, and through me they obtained it, and wore relieved as I was, I now made known the power ol the Brace to restore, strength sen and preserve the voice in public speakers, and then commenced offering it as a premium to iniuisters for suhscrib-

The caiue of vhoarseness, sore throat, Uryngitis, and fineily bronchitis in public speakers,and all these symptoms of "drag-ging: down," gonfiness, exhaustion after speaking, and weaknesss of the back and loins, pilM, and uernla, U the flight re-axatim of the abdominal mutclcs, which aUowt .the bmoelt to sink, a n d known bu marked hoUoto over the ttp$ of the hip*. Now. all know that the linings of the stomach are connected with those of the throat and atfect the vocal organs, and when the stomach •inks a straining is brought to bear apon the throat, and speanng or talk-ing will irritate It and produce hoarse-Bess, and if oontinttiu, sore throat, and all the train of evils that pubiirHpeakers • n wont to oomplalnof, and which ha* earried hundreds to theif' graves, and wliioh fearivAre iftj^ing aside as useless httndred* or otheii.

Now. «Rex R personal experience ol :lf twenty yi " • . ' yean , and the added expe-

irCJotl's wonl had not revealed it. Hut, glory to Ids iiftino, here U Is in thtj Biblr, and in our Ian-KUSfto. And the Kloriou* initho are inado known ill those texli, wlitch ani not KctuTally coii«idered, or laid hold of by inaiiktud

They toktih (J) that In Ctirislour Savior is all fullucsi—fulliioes of tittturarpiHTfr and fullness of grace. Of course ho i» posscMhpd of itiliidio ki owl-ed^e, wimlotn, and po.vfir—lo know all things, wisdom to ffulde ariglii, lovo to actuate or more, and power to tsxeeute all his bfiiipvolont purpoaas. (2) And tkof laiich that all wo need for life andsal-Tation ara In hirn, so that ive uiiiy bo "perfect, and coMipleto iu all tho will of (}od," b<>«aii»(- wo re-ceive ol his fullnuHfl, and tliid "Graco to help in every time of need."

Arc those things 8o? It musl l>o, for we aro as-•ured by tho word that cannot lie. 'I'hero Br--tfome other things true an a coivswiudiicc.

(1) There It no excuse for livinjr ut such "a poor dying rate" at tho mass of out; chur. h-nnnubors do, »o little removed from and so little unlike the world. By so doins they greatly dishonor their profession and tholr God; for ubundunt graco in Christ irovideil for them to bo **i>erroo( and conipletein all tho will of God," tliat_lbry thus may recommend their reli^'ion and their Ma-ttor to the world.

When tii«y united with tho clinrch 'hev promised 80 to live—"to deny themselvfs nil ungodlir.oss, aud worldly lusts, and to live soberly, righteously, and godly in lhi« present world,"and the wicked see it, and thoy have a right to e.vpcct i(, and thov are greatly stumbled when they fets tho Kellisinicss and

|prido, aud worldliuuss of profewsiHg Christians. •^'Theso things ought not so to be."

(2) If audi are the proviflionn of divine grace, then id there no o.\ciiso for miuistorH who refuse or Bogloct to preach clearly tho lullnesH of the gospel, lud tho ail-sutlluienoy of grace to nioet tho wants »f alt wlio truly turn from thoniBelves, and •ke Cbriat as tlieii" example and over present leliwr.

Our text certainly does teach such blesHod glad Wiugs, and thoy ought to be proclaimed in tho tra of all tho suffering, tempted, aud tried ones of •rth. Since Goil h u inado this graofous provision re may bo auro ho Is willing and greatly tlosires l»«t all should recolTO of lhl< fullness, and gractl br grace. Uo has not qiado it to mock us, but li»l wo may usa it to hit glory, and to our own otBfort and •auotifloation, and this not for a fow at for all, not for a briof timo, but continually— lero and in the world to coma, that "I l ls joy may

in ut, and that o u r j o y may bo fnll ." This it lio will of God, avon your sanotiflcatiou."

Uow to attain unto I t . Many a n x b m l f Inqulro, h o w o a n l l oomo Into

hl i porfoot, intl comploto llfo? (1) Aftor we hRvo ropontod, a«d taken ObrUt at

o r w* »re y«t In tho body, betet wi th

temptations on every baud, and w<» iietxl to have a deepsonsoof thoev i lo f alit, as dishonoraiilo to (jlotl, and ruinous to our own souU. Qotl's Spirit can show this. Pray for It, until you "abhor that which it evil," and turu from it with loathing.

(2) AVe need a clear view of tho l>e.t«!y and im-portance of holinets. This can be leannid fmm the word aud from the lloly Ghost. Study closely und pray fervently, till tho soul is tilled with huu . goring aud thirsting desire"for righteouiiess.

(3) Christ must bo receivsd into the heart, in all hi« bleated fullness, to ruin and reign iu all our teelings and desires. Tho holm must bo given up to him that he may "instruct aud teach in the wav we should go, and guide with his eye," aud "work iu us lo will and to do of his good pleaiure." Ho wishes to do this for all his—for all who will "hear his voice, and opon the d oor."

(4) Wo must not then settle down in te!f-eecu rity, aud feel that we have no more to do; but watch and pray, and Hght againH sin, with untir-ing vigilance, lest we enter into tempt Uion—lo«t St tan got an advantage over us. Sd it is com-manded, "Watch and pray." "I tay uuto ail, watcii." "Be sober, be vigilont for your adver-sary, tho Devil, goeth about as a roaring lion saek-ing whom ho may devour."

To refuse to do this, is to be taken captive by the euemy, fall into a snare, and bring dishonor upon the cause.

(5) We shall bo tomptad while ui Ihit world. Christ was toinptod, and tho holiest have been and ara tempted. But, thank God, temptation is not sin. We tin when we "give place to the Dovil," when wo listen and yield to the tcmptaiion. But when it is instantly ai>d promptly resisted, hating the evil, and desiring to please and honor Gml, wo do not sin, and shall not bo hurt by tho tompt.ition. It will but d r iv i us nearer to our ^Savior for his all-needed protection.

And we are atsured that if wo "Itesist the Devil, he will flse from us." Let thi'. resistance ho prompt and persovoriug, "Ixwking unto JO8U9"for "Ills grace to help in every lime of ntied." So shall wo be conquerors through him who loved u s and be strengthened with might by his S|iirit in the inner man.

(0) We mutt study tho word humbly, and prayer fully, to letrn all tho will of God, with a ll.*od pur-i)08i) that is as fast and is as far as wo know duty, we will do it, remoinboriiig tho words of tho Mas-tor ; "If ye kuow these things happy are ye ^if ye do them."

Many reaa tho BIblo as if it WOJ"O not a liook for practice, aud tho govurnanco of lifo. They road, it may bo, daily, and never onco sol themselves to obey. Thoy ro>d, but tlo not seriously consider tho moaning, as applied to them.

0. g. (a) Thoy read, "Then shall yo find,mo when yo shall search for mo with all your heart," aud then seek him in a half-hearted, formal manner, and wonder that Ihoir prayort aro not heard. Such Booking uovor briugB tho blessing, bocaute tho con-ditions aro not fulfilled.

(b) Thoy read, "Pray without ceasing," "Always pray, and not faint," and offer a fow; spasmodlo prayers of an omotloual natura, and rooeivlng uo auBwor aro dUoourged, and give up I

(o) They road, "Lay not up ftr 'yonrselvea tnjasuroi on oarth . . bu t In heaven," and .thoy go on choosing the world ma a portion, and i tr iving to a m a n l u troaiuroL witb all their might. Of treaturoi in heaveD they think but little. Oou-trary to the oommand, "Set your aflootlout on thing* «bo?e, and Qot on thlBga ol oafth," they .'•lore the world, luid the Utlogi i s the wotld."

(d) They read, "Be yo uot conformed to (ho world, liut bo yo transformetl by the reiiewiiig oi ' your mlnil," «nd study raahlon plaiet and maga>. zines that they way bo ^'oonforiued to the world," while tiiero is but iittlo desire for tho Vnutfbrma- ' lion of the mind from a worldly to a spiritual state! And then complain i^txildiiossaudi lack of spiritual comforIS. Of course Ood cannot bless such, or hear their prayers, while dlsrogardlug hia plain commands, and following after tlio world, ' i f I regard iniquity in my heatt the Lord will not liear mo." llo could not without enoourgitig their sins.

(e) Thoy raad tlio prohibitions against wearing "gold, or fotsil, or costly array," etc., and ' wear thom with profusion, seeking "Iho praise of men," and iiouora of the world.

( f ) Or, "God reslsteth tho proud." "The proud of heart bo knoweth afar olT." "Be clothed with humility." "I dwell with him wtio Is of a humble and contrite heart,"—and yet they oontluue to cherish and pamper their pride, as If thoy never read the Bible or had never united with the church I Of course they fa'l of spiritual blostlnga, while re-sisting the Holy Ghost, and trampling God'a Word 'n tho dust. '

(g) Thoy read, "As yo have opportunity do good to all men," and rare ly try to do any good, living only for tliomselves.

(h) "Abstain from all appearance of «vll," and do many palpably virroug things.

(1) ' i n all things th-iwing thysol f a pattern of good works," and over follow tho example of the wicked who have "no fear of God" before them.

These examples might bo multiplied,butenoijigh are givcu lo show why to many continue to live on a very low piano of spiritual lifo, and are no "bar -ren and u n f r u i t f v r ' i n tho vineyard of thb Lord.

They n.'ad and know but do n ot consider, do not practice tho prcccpts and c immandmeuts of God. And he cannot bless thom whiio so doing. But^ says Christ, "If yo continue ;iu my word then kliall ye I)c my disciples indeed, and yo ihall know the truth, aud the truth shall make you froo."

"If yo abide in me, aud my woni abldo Id you yo khall ask what yo will aud It slia II bo done unto you."

(7) There is a fullness In Christ sufliclontforour every need if wo comply wi th the oondltlong and conform to his will. Alt that is necessary for lifo and holiness is provided iu rich abundance, but it Is forced upon no one. I t must bo desired, atked for and rucolvod by faitfi, that we may be. "perfect and complete in ail tho will of God,"

The least wnfldonco wo have In ourselves the bet-ter, for "he who truttoth In hi8;uwn hear t i t n fool , " but we cannot trust too strongly in GhrUt, and he invites us to como to him lor all wo uoed. "Open thy mouth wide and I will fill it." " A t k wh»t ye will." "But lot him atk In faith, nothing w»?er-Ing." "According to your faiUi be i t unto yon."

(8) (a) Do wo need wisdom ? "Let htm Mk of Qud, and it tball bo given him." But wo m u t t be teachable, chUd-llke.

(b) Do we neoti onllghtonment In tho wordj and in divine thingt ? The tpl r l t le ada into all tnith', and takei of Christ, and ahowa un to ua.
