SPIEITISM. Ho. 7.

nrrcKK OF sprarrtTAusM AvnciPxxED. In the Spiritual Age of January 14th,

1860, a writer who ia giving the future of Spmtnalisin, says:

IQ due time, through the intervention of spiritualism, these Servants of Christ, duly invested with authority from him, will make their demand upon the pro-prietors of the earth's surftce, to yield np their illegitimate rights thereto, cancel their deeds, and subnut that God's earth never more l>e sold or held at a price, nor even the fullness thereof."

Could it be possible for the demons to realize the above dreamy object of their frenzy, we can fancy what in all proba-bility the consummation of such a system would result in. Judging from the fruits of the doctrine thus far, what a millen-nium of free-loveism, maternity, pa-ternity, begetting, re-begetting, affini-ties, passional attraction?, men's rights, women's rights, all right made wrong, an wrong made right, table rapping and table-tipping, spiritualism and animalism meeting together, and sociality and heterogeneology kissing each other; and Lucifer brought up in "his expanded creation, purified by the influence of God's love in electricity, as that is the 6nly God the demons worship, keeping jubilee with his faithful and devout votarieip.

Having traced the practical workings of this delusion at some length, with the following testimony of one familiar with its workings, we take our leave of Demonology.

" S T . CLAIESVILE, O . , D e c . 17, 1854.

"Spiritual Telegraph, May 12, 1855. Mr. G^nin has favored the public with some very important information.

1.-1 The spirits afflict persons with de-spondency.

2. They afflict them with paroxysm? of extreme profanity and obscenity I

3. Make them ^ devilish.' 4. Cause them to commit hostilities

upon themselves; to bite their own limbs and thrust them into the fire.

5. Instigate them to do violence to their friends. Instill into them a • mur-dering impulse,' and cause them to murder their families!

5. Constrain them to commit suicide." See DrniiePs Spiriiitaliam against €hria-tianUy, pp. 224-229.

With all the above facts, plain, positive and convincing in their nature, we now take our leave of the subject, and pray Giod in mercy to save the multitudes from the pandemonium of Spiritualism.

Truly the very Last Day Tokens are now before us.

THS SKEPTICISM OF THE AGE. In Ziaris Herald of January 21st, 1863,

is an article headed, "What shall be done to check the progress of heresy ? " The writer goes on to say:

" This, inquiry ii one of vast moment . . . Something must be done. Heresy is rapidly spreading. Skepticism and un-belief previdl more extensively in this country now than for many years. Here-»es have crept into the church, and are this day strongly intrenched in the hearts of numbers of nominal Christians. Many who gather with us to partake of the supper of the Lord, whose voices are heard in onr meetings for prayer and praise, are skeptical with regard to some of the essential truths of Christianity.''

The follewing from, the Bible Times, shows the true state of things:

**Tke Bible just now is assaQed by a mo6t remarkable multiplicity of enemies. Anti-theism, denying God; deism, dmm-ing of God; and polytheism, analyzing God; are all, with neariy equal inveter-acy, still as ever opposed to the revelation of God. But, bendes these ancient and gigantic hostilities, ininimerable inferior, and yet arrogant and artful agencies of infidelities are constantly at work around as, insidioosly sapping the foundation of onr highest and noblest hopes."—G, .

Sawl Gerrit Smith, in a speech delivered in Boston, Sunday, June 15th, 1882, re-ported in the Herald of Progress, Axtsaa/t 2d,1862: '

"There is mother great evil . . . in the worid. It is fitr. greater than any I have spoken oC It is the priesthood— ihe sacerdotal or derical order of men. The priests l>e it those of China, Hinr dortan, Aralna, Pcrma, Europe ^erica, at diewhere, and be they howcVw hon-est, are the wont enemies of mankind. A priesthood is not neoessary to teach

I t is very true that "the religion of 7® human nature " " needs not a priesthood." the Why did not the Lord find this out beforel to Gerrit Smith and some other m o d e m

teachers were bom to instract him ? ^ U AXOTHEB R B S O L ^ O K . — ^ A t the United

States Infidel Convention, held in New" York, on Sunday October 7th, 1800, the ^^'y following resolution was p r i n t e d :

" Resolved, That infidelity is thus in very trath the proclamation of the most blessed and glorious, the only trae gospel ever sounded in human ears—the gospel of human happiness—it is indeed a voice crying to the thousand million weepers in this vale of tears, 'Behold, I bring yon glad tidings of great joy, which shall be unto all people; peace on earth, good will to men'—an Oriental- dream

"WE SHALL MEET AaAIU." The fiat of nature is inexorable. There

is no appeal of relief from the great law which dooms ,us to dust.

Generations of men appear and vanish as the gras.^, andie ex-the countk'RS multitudes that throng thejtate, world to-dsiy, will tomorrow disappear as ae of the footsteps on the shor^ 'exas.

Men seldom think of the great event of lated death until the shadow falls across their unty, own path, hidmg firom their eyes theaters, traces of loved opes, whose living smiles istate were the sunlight of their existence, retty Death is the great antagonist of life, and lixed the cold thought of the tomb is the skel- iptist eton at all feasts.

He believed that he should soon be well; but he rapidly grew worse, and on Friday it became apparent to himself and others that the end was near. God L4es8ed him with an unclouded mind all the. way through. He was enabled to seal the declaration of his life with the testimony of his dying lips, a privilege God does not give to all his children.

Bro. Coleman has long b&n in A

ooMPOBxnra WOBDS. Wordsworth writes in one of his let-

ters, " God pity me, but this is a cruel old world."

Crael and hard it is, and we, the dwell-ers on it, often faint and are weary with the sin, sorrow and misery all about us. But out of the gloom which at times en-shrouds us we hear a still, small voice speaking in accents of such wondrous love, " There remaineth, therefore, a BEST for the people of God." Look above, then. Christian. Child of God, strive to embrace all that is comprehended in those precious words, " there remuneth, therefore, a rest;" because the worid is so crael, so hard and toilsome, the pronuje is all the more restful. When the path-way abont ns seems hedged in on every side, when we are suffering in great an-guish for onr friends, and, perchance, from our friends—for sometimes we are tempt-ed to feel there is no futh, no tratb, no love—then be brave, have courage and look with the eye of faith beyond this worid to the rest which remaineth. Thai will survive after all else has perished, for its builder and maker is God. But the promise is only to God's dear people; let ns realize, then, our dignity as his children, and while we are in the world endeavor through all temptations, all trials and vidssitndes, steadfastly to jon^ ney on towards the golden city, where we shall, after the heat and burden of the day, rest in the arms of onr adorable Re-deemer.— Watchman and Rtfieetor.

THE T ¥ 0 DEATHS. Which character would you represent,

dear reader,were you called to die to day ? You do not mean to die unprepared, but you still live on unprepared.

I CAN'T DIE A SINXEB ! How differently the world and the

soul's interest appear to one who feels no apprehension of death's approach, to what they seem when one is conscious of having but few hours to live! Hence the improvements in the art of medicines and ,the abundant application of anodynes to those whose sufferings are severe, and whose death appears inevitable, the testir mony of the dying is but rarely obtained with the manifest consciousness of their realiring their doom to be that of the lost. An instance of such occurs oc-casionally, however, and one came under the writer^s notice some time since, that may be profitably considered by those content to suffer the whirl and whiz of worldly things to tum their thoughts away from the danger of living impeni-tent

After my family had -etired, one night, as I remained in my study, I heard some one at the door, and went to dec what was wanted. I found a messenger from a dying man, wishing my immediate attendance. I hurried at once to the house, in a chamber of which I found him stretched upon his bed, straggling agwnst his evident and inevitable doom. He was a young man of twenty-three, surrounded by-his weeping parents, wife and friends, who were doing all that seemed possible to soothe and save him.

As I entered, I asked him what hie d ^ r e was. He replied, " O nr, I am not, as the physician says, to recover, and I have b ^ a wicked swearing man; but, sir, I can't die a ^ n e r . Do pray for me!" I asked him whether he prayed. He answered, " I try to 'pray, but haven't been used-to praying. Sundays I rarely went to church, and it seems as if Gk>d wonH hear me. Please, or, {nay

To the inquiry why he had not prepared finr death, his answer was, never meant to die wtpr^pared^h^l'ina yonng, u id I did not expect death so soon! l>o^ do pray for mel*^ I kndt down and tried to pray for the dying man, WIM seemed to keep 0(mipany with his earnest gteolations till I dosed. After riling from my k n e ^ he sdzed my hand, and finng lus agonizing eyes npon mine, he exdaimed a g ^ ** O, dear

hath prepared for them that love him.'" On Saturday he said to his wife," You

know I have always had ashrinldng from death, but if this is death, I would die ten thousand deaths."

As the physidan came in, looldng np he said, " O, doctor, I am so happy. You know he gives grace to die by ; and now

believe he gives grace to be rack by.' He spoke much of the feithfulness o

God in fulfilling all his promises. He never for a moment seemed to forget his church. " I wish," he says, " I could see all my dear people in this room to-day. Then his face lighting up, " but I expect to clasp hands with all—yes, every one, on the other side of the river. Sing, * Shall we meet beyond the river ? ' " Am thus in an ecstacy of joy, he gentiy ex-pired. "Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his."

THE n E 8 T BAPTIST. We are always ready to insert matters

of denominational history, especially ac counts ef Baptist ministers We take the following from the Macedonian anc Record-.

l l ie first Baptist was a child of promise. His coming and his mission were spoken of by prophets hundreds of years before he was bora.

Angels were greatiy interested in him. His coming was intimately connected with the appearing of Chrui^ Of him it may be said:

He was a child of eariier rdigious im-pressions than are recorded of any Pedo baptist child.

He gave eatUer demonstrations of joy at the announcement of the Savior's coming than are known to have been given by any other.

" He was a just man and holy, man sent fhnn God."

He was strictly temperate, as all con-sisteat B a p t i ^ are and ever ^ v e been. "He d r a ^ ' ndther wine nor stron drink."

He had great fiiith in the Savior, an<. sud to the people that they must b ^ e t e on him who dionld come after him, that is, on Christ JesoL"

He exalted Jeans above himself and above every other. *'He most increase and I must decrease," waa t in dionis his song.

He was as grekt aa he was good. ^ Among them that are bom of woman, ti»sre hath not risen a gratter than Jolm theBaptisf*

"He was great in the agfat of the Lord." . " •--. . .a I '.n; .gatt- i . I -I /

< ftm BMsat

The first Baptiit directed all to tiie jamb of God, who alone could t aV

away their sins, and baptised only th< who came to believe on the Lord X Christ, and who gave evidence of thdr

fluth in th'dr "repentance" and in the fnuta" that followed. ^ ministry was highly spiritual. He preached in the power aad spirit

of Elijah. He was filled with the Holy-Spirit from his mother's womb." These traths should put the reader on his guard against thoae who speak lighUy of tha first Bi4>tist and of his ministry, that m they must justify thdr own conduct In rejecting or neglecting his, the only water baptism that is from heaven.

^ converts to Jesus Christ were many and full of promise. Scores of them came to the apostles, evangelists and teachers. All things considered, we doubt whether, of the same length of time, the ministry of dther one of lua succesfoffi, in all the baptized churdies j'rom that time to this, has been more able, more spiritual, or more successful.

He had one honor above all oth«t& Ie baptized Jesus Christ, our Lord. ^

was the only minl«ter from whom Jems * Christ would have received baptism.

The sight of his baptism was at . that time well pleasing to all in heaven, and « to all On earth who, with John, were walking in "the way of righteousness.*^

'o all baptised believens, the same, were' it repeated now, would be " Well plfi— ing,"'but to the most of thoae wfoo caH^ themselves Christians, it would be offen-sive. The first Baptist WM the first, but ' no means the last Baptist martyr.

" WEITE IT OITA' BUM OASZ.",. A writer from the Watchman and

Reflector giving some renuniscences of Rev. Baron Stow, relates an anecdote regarding a sermon that 'he preached from the words,«In that day shall theie' be npon the beUs of the horsee, ' H o l i n g unto the Lord,'" eta The aennon riiiM.. of a practical character, and enforced ttr^ trath that, in every transaction of life, in everything in which we engage, tlus '. should ^ the great principle w^ch lAonid govern n& " Inscribe these words," lie-said, "on every implement -of te^e; en the yardsticks upon your counters; upon your scales and measures, let it be writ-ten at the head of every page of your day-book and ledger— ' Holiness unto the Lord.'"

There was a man in that audience (a stranger) who was largely engaged in t ^ ram traffic.

As Mr. Stow closed his sermon, he said: " Some one has' remarked that he can judge of the propriety of an idea if youcan paintit outontiiewaU.' Letns apply tlw text; inscribe over the entrance to the house of God, * Holiness unto the Lord;' nothing could be more proper; let it be inscribed over your conrt-hooses, your school-houses and colleges, ovor your hospitals and charitable institutions, and nothing could be more suitable; bot suppose we inscribe over the entrance of a drinking-saloon or gambling-hoose the words, * Holiness unto the . Lord;' or suppose we go down to the wharf and inscribe on those casks that tmra men's bodies and destroy thdr souls, * Holtnesa unto the Lord."

He clesed here. That ramseller went out curnng the preacher and the sermon. Why, he only asked the, question hov the words "Holiness unto the Lord" would look inscribed npon a ram-cask ; but that rangle question had a m<»e ter* ribls effect on man's consdence than a whole hour's denunciation of the traffic.

denomination and a blessing to the coun-try ? But upon mature deliberation we cannot favor the male school enterprise of which he speaks. Times are hard; let us not undertake too much, lest we fiul in alL We agree with brother " Mis-sissippi," who is one of the best thinkers we have in the Sute, that we had better have one firstHjlass col l ie than to have several littie .ones struggling for exist-ence. Why not all the Baptists in Mis-sissippi unite and build up Mississippi College at Clinton? See Bro. Eager's article, and the advertisement which the trastees ask to have put on the minutes of every association in the State. Mia-sisappi College belongs to our State Convention, or will, when it is relieved of present pecuniary embarrassments, which we hope will be done this year.

UlITBDEnOBT. We take the liberty to extract the fol-

lowing from a private letter from a wor-thy brother minister in this State: " I hope the Baptists of Mississippi will al-ways remain one— that they will see and act together in every g o ^ word and work. What we need is ^ i o n and co-operation in an the great enterprises of the denomination. There is great power in the Baptists of Mimarippi if we could only awaken and properly direct i t ; and tTiw we can do if ^ the ministers can see, and feel, and act in one and the same di-rection."

How true! and do we who are minis-ters of the gospel feel, like Paul, that we are " separated unto the gospel of God ?" Do we walk by faith or by mght? Do we feel that we are eur own, or have we been "bought with a price?" Are we aboring fi>r ourselves or for Jesus ? Are

our motives and our labors of a woridly or of a heavenly chancter. O! for more consecration, both among the ministry

id laity, but especially among the min-istry. We can never expect a consecrated membership, nntil we have a consecrated ministry. To feel that we have "acharge to keep " and « a calling to fulfill "—that we live only for Christ and his precious cause, will do much to unite us and nerve us for the conflicts that are before na.

" God be merciful unto us and bless ns, and cause his face to shine upon us."

OTTB OIBOULAB. We are sending out a cirenlartoall

the Baptist ministers in the State whose names and address we know or can ascer-tain. The object of this cironlar is to bring the claims of our denominational organ before the Baptists in the State. We hope that no Baptist minister in the State will refuse to read this circular pub-lidy to his peopIe,.4ind urge upon them the importance of subscribing for and reading T H E BAPTIST. Every Baptist minister in the State is ready to acknowl-edge that onr people lack efficiency—that there is a want of interest and effidency in the Sunday-school work, misdons, education and pastoral support. The necessity is felt, too, of more comfortable houses of worship, a deeper interest in all chnrch matters, and more spirituality. It needs no argument to prove that the reading of a good religions paper is pro-motive of a Christian efficiency. How eoold it be expected that people would eare mnch aboni Christian enterprises of

hich they know but little? Those churches whose members read most are most effiden^ provided they read what they onght to read. They have better prayer-meetinge^ better Sunday-schools, more neat and comfortable houses of wor-ship, and support their pwtors better. But some of .our memben say they have but little time to read the Bible, and can read nothing else. Bi^ few,of those who read nothing but the.Bible read it much. If they. wotJd read a good religions paper they wodd r ^ the Bible more and un derstand it better when they do read it. Their minds, too, -fronld be more engaged about rdipon ,and lem .^bont the world. Every, tirM-iMstor dedrM to see his peo-ple " ^ w in grace andin theknowledge of our Lord. Jesus ^ Christ."

The introduc-on of PLANTATION^ BITTERS, pre-ared with pure St. Croix Rum and alisaya Bark, opened the eyes of the 'orld to this great fact. The life-sus-lining principle embodied in this great 'egetable Restorative is manifested in le weak and defpondinjr by an iinme-iate and most encouraging change. If >e appetite has failed, it is quickened ; if gestion has been painful and imperfect, becomes easy and thorough; if the liver torpid, it is roused and regulated i if le nerves are relaxed, they are lengthened and restrung; if the brain

On Monday after the close of the above meeting I had the pleasure of going with Eld. W. B. OaUman to one of the churohes he serves (New Zion, Copiah county, meeting there with Bro. HolHhgsworth, of Hinds county), where we have had a good time also. The size of the congre-

APPEAL-A PAVOB ASKED OP EAOH BAPTIST ASSOqUTIOir IH MISS.

_ D E A R B R E T B B K N :—We send to you, l^hrough T H E BAPTIST, an advertisement

vhich we wbh to be published on the ' cover " of the Minutes of each Associ ition in the Sute,

We ask this as a favor because the lollege is in debt, and has as yet no means or paying for advertisements; and we

^.sk that you allow a similar advertise-nent to appear on your Minutes free of barge, so long at least as the college is mbarrassed.

^ We respwtfully invite each Moderator, linister and delegate to introduce this, abject to his Association, and get each ) say, by vote, whether they will grant ur petition. Brethren of Mississippi! this is your

bllege. Your sons, your young minis-^rs, your State and your country need i t

ool nntil after the meetings of all these A^sodations, that they may be prepared to act with US. Meanwhile we suggest that the places desiring the school make ready their best bids.

Now, brethren and friends, it is for you to say whether we shall succeed in estab-lishing in onr midst schools that will af-ford fadlities for the education of the numerous youth of our country. Why not spend our money at home? Why not create an influence in favor of educa-tion in our midst that may excite and in-duce thousands to obtain an education who never may'if no such influence ex-ists? In the two Associations which have taken action there are nearly four thousand Baptists, together with many friends of education, who will most heart-ily unite with us, being willing that the enterprise shall be controlled by us. In the five Assodations there are nearly ten thousand Baptists. We mention these facts to show how easy this work can be carried forward and made the means of great good, provided united cooperation can be secured.

Let ns all concentrate onr efibrts and influence, and our most enlarged desires upon this subject win be realized.

The Crystal Springs churoh, which I am serving as pastor this year, com-menced a meeting of days on Saturday before the first Sabbath, the 2d inst., which ended on the third Sabbath, when seven were aided to the church by bap-tism. The measure of good accomplished, we trust, was not limited by the number baptized. For many days to come, we h o ^ there WHI be gather^ of the bread ^ e n cast n ^ n the waters.

ilSSIPPI COLLEGE, CLINTOJI, HIITDS CO., MISSISSIPPI.

The twentieth collegiate year of this istitution will commence on Monday, ^ptember 28, and continue forty weeks.

During the past year over 100 students haVo been in attendance, and the indica^ tions now are that the number will be greatly increased the coming session.

Besides the various classes of the Pre-paratory Department, the four cfasses of the Collegiate Department will be fully reprraented. Students for the degrees of A. B. and B. P., on passing a satisfactory examination in the studies of the lower classes, can enter either of the classes they wish. They will find the course of study as rigid as in the best of colleges.

Students who wish to take a select course, will be permitted to pursue such studies as they may elect and recite in the regular classes, provided their pre-vious attainments shall justify them to pursue such studies with advantage.

Students for the ministry are taught free of all charges for tuition and ind-dental fees, and those who are indigent will be assisted in the payment of their board by the Ministerial Educational Board. Of snch students fourteen have been in attendance this last year, and many others have signified thdr intention of entering at the beginning of the next year. The restraining and elevating moral influence of such young men over other students cannot be overestimated. Parents who have regard for the morals of their sons, should note this fact before deciding upon the college to which they will send them.

The Board of Trustees have made ar-rangemenU to increase the Faculty to the fuU extent of demands.

For further information address the President, Rev. Walter Hillman, or send to him for catalogue.

WHO SEOVLD VOTE U A OHUSOH. J. X. XAXTtX.

Whence is the right to vote derived? Is it natuiiil—Gted-given—or is it an as-sumed right ? If assumed, why may not one member as well as another assume the right? If God has conferred the right, and revealed it in the Mble, that only the male members over twenty-one years of age shall enjoy this privilege, where is the chapter and verse in which it is recorded? If there is one thing plainly taught by Christ, it is the duty of a reoognized equality among his disdples. The assertion of the editor of THE BAP-TIST that " social equality is nnknown in the Bible " may be true. It is unques-tionably true in the world. For there ever have been, and doubtless ever will be, social distinctions in society. What-ever may be said of isodal equality as a theory, it will always fail in its practical results. But then social equality is one thing, while the right to vote in a chnrch is another and a very different question. Therefore I do not contend for social equality, but for ECCLESIASTICAL EQUAL-

ITY, or for equal rights among the mem-bers of a churoh in a church capacity. If the Scriptures nowhere say that only male members over twenty-one years of age shall vote in the churoh, then for such persons to assume this right, to the ex-clusion of all others, is arbitrary, tyran-nical and nnjust. If a young man under twenty-one years of age is mentally qual-ified, why should he be denied the right to vote in the church ? In a political sense, he is a minor, but what signifies this? In a Christian sense, there^ay be found many minors much over this age. Politically, the laws of the State settle this question, and that is the end of i t ; but in the New Testament, which is the law of the church, no such statute is re-corded, but each member is left by a nat-ural right, on an equality with every other member. A member may decline to exercise this right, but none may dare to deprive such a one of its possession.

The church is Christ's executive body on earth. This is, or should be, com-posed of individuals who each occupy to-ward him the same relative position. Paul said to the Corinthian church: " Ye are the body of Christ and members in larticular/' And again, ** Neither is the man without the woman; aeitber is the woman without the man, fti the Lord." This uproots all distinction on account of sex, and condemns the assumption of special privileges by any class. All are one in Christ, who is head over all, and who has said, "Call no man master, for one is your master, even Christ, and all ye are brethren." And again, **If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last." When the disciples disputed as to who should be the greatest in the chnrch, Christ rebuked them by placing a child in their midst as an example of humility, and warned them that it were better that they should have a millstone about their necks in the midst of the sea than

to offend one of these little ones that believe in him. Doubtless this child was not an infant, but a youth—a believ-ing minor. Christ said again: "The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them. . . . But ye shall not be so, but he that is greatest among you, let him Jje as the younger," etc. He en-joined the trial of offenders, not by male members who have passed their minority, but by the church, and if the offender re-fuse to hear the church, let him be as a heathen, etc.

The examples of ecclesiastical action among the disciples show that the whole body present on all occasions voted in the decisions of questions. Not an instance can be shown where females and minors were excluded from their councils. The whole number of disciples then together (about one hundred and twenty) partici-pated in the election of Mathias to the apostleship from which Judas had fallen. The " multitude " elected the seven dea-cons, and it would be absurd, to doubt that there were in this multitude both women and minors. When the Phari-sees sought to enforce circumcision on the Gentile converts " it pleased the apostles and elders with the whole church to send chosen men to Antioch" to carry a letter of advice and instruction.

There are many young men held ss minors by the Sta^, that, like T^motiiy, have been wdl taught in the Scriptures, and are the most earnest members of the churoh; and to deny such a voice in the business of the church would be a re-proach upon them, injurious in its re-sults. Such are the future hope of the

amples of true piety, or who more richm totir an* tixranding-in good'woriagifatt-woman ? « Give^her o£ the fruifr of her hands and let her own works p r ^ her in the gates," No one of observation can deny that the female members of our churches are the most watchful guardians of the purity of the membership, often the most competent as well as the strict-est disdplinarians, and the least feariess in opposing error, come in whatever form it may. My meinory now notes several instances where ehordies have been saved from trouble and disgrace by the timdy and dedded intervention of devoted lis-ters. To man's shame be it said that, as a mle, the women are the most constant attendants at our conference lucetings, and thus they learn to be better judges of disciplinary law than numbers of the brethren; and such is their quick pene-tration uid firmness of purpwe that to refuse them a vote in our councils will be a calamity upon our churches. I sincere-ly hope that no chnrch will be found en-tertMning such a question as that of re-stricting the rights of any of its members or of distinguishing its members into privileged and non-privileged classes.

Paul's prohibition of woman speaking in the chnrch most clearly applies to preaching or speaking in debate, etc., and not to the casting of a vote in the business of the church. Without all may vote, how is the state of fellowship in a church to be ascertained ?

ings before and after they embraced the. doctrine.. W.W.Fn iMr .

church, and should be early habituated to bear responsibilities, that they may thereby grow up active and energetic membera.

BISLESETI8I0I. A committee appdnted by the Chnrch

of England Convocation, at the session held the 6th of last May, has itself had & .meeting, and made avangements for en-tering immediately upon the work. In accordance with the rules adopted by this committee, the Old Testament and the New Testament are each to be revised under the direction of a separate . sub-committee. It is also determined that the portion of the Old Testement to bo first entered upon shall be the authtmxed version of the Pentateuch, while in the New Testament, the gospels come first in order for the revision. The committee for the former embraces the Bishops of St. David's, Llandaff; Ely, Lincoln, Bath and Wells, with Archdeacon Rose, Canon Selwyn, Dr. Jebb and Dr. Kay. For the New Testament,-the committee are the Bishops of Winchester, Gloucester, Bris-tol and Salisbury, the Deans of Canter-bury and Westminster, and Canon Blakes-ley. ./\mong the scholars and divines-chosen to assist in the revision, we find two Baptist names—Drs. Angus and Benj. Davies, of Regent's Park College;, the latter for the Old Testament, the for-m e r f o r t h e N e w . — C h r i s t i a n Lidex,

And yet in are^nt sermon in that city he made the following sUte-ment; cluming, too, that " numbers of its preachers and leaders throughout Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri and other St®l^ with thousands of lay mem-bers, think just as he does:"

The Christian pilgrim, who has been a long time associated with tbe twin raters, as Bro.

He will surely need them (fiuth and hope' hereaftei^so long as it is his interest to please God, or be happy. Let ua look at tbe teiL There are three Christian princ: pies, or graces.

Wardlaw and Dr. Campbell.)

Baptiat chorehes, on the contrary, receiTe aa members, those only who pTe credible e-ridencb of their oonTeision; they do not acknowledge either infanta, or tte uncenrerted, aa haTing •ny TisiUe connection with the chnreh of Christ. —Acta i i : 47; 1 Cor. u i : 16.17.

n . B a p ^ ehnrchea (atzietly ao caUed) re-gard i t as Christ's will, that all belieTers zeceiTcd to membership ahonld be fnt baptixed. The New Teatament ehnrchea consisted wholly of baptixed belieTera. Peter said to belierers on the d»T of Pentecost, "Be bapUsed erery one ofyoiL" and they "were bapUxed."—Acta i i : 38-41: see, also, x : 48. So that the Baptist ehnrehes are, in tlus reapect, "followers of the ehnrchea of Sod," aa first foonded by Christ and Hia apostles.—1 Theaa. i i : 14.

Bat in doing so they differ flrom all other ainrehea; from the Qoaker^ who reject bap-tism, from the Pedobaptiata, who sntaUtate an-other rite for- the immersion of belierers, and from an open eommnnioniatSi whether Baptists, or Pedobaptiata, who admit persons without being bapmed at all ; instead of requiring, u ths apostles and f r s t ehnrches did, that all belieTera ahonld be baptiied befort being ^ oeired to membership and commonion. Christ has l i w j to His ehnrches no power to •at A d e Hia Uwa; no UgMOm power to make new ones; bat haa enjoined on them to « obserre tU tioia* wiattoatr" He has commanded, (Matt. xxTiiiT20); and, if erer tempted to ne j lwt His Uws, " t o obey God rather than men.'— Acta 29. ~ - .

EEL BaptUt churches regard i t as Chnst s will that all church members should be vobalarg membtn- that none ahonld be m a d e members, •itiier againat their wiH, or without their knowledge. God U » Spirit, w d worsUp m m must do ao In tpvU and in truth, (John I f , 24); their serriee must be thr t of lo»«.«f»ith andebedienee.-1 Cor .xui : 1; Bom. jtrrYaa; Bom.xTi:26.

ed of charity, only charity is the greatr est. Bro. R. may be greater than these thoughts, and yet these thoughts may live longer than he. Methuselah lived longer than Moses or Abraham, btit was he the greatest of these three ? It may-be that Bro. R. was thinking of faith and hope as particular and not general. Fiutb, hope and charity, will each one have an enlarged sphere when they accompany the redeemed man to endless duration, in the ever-increa.sing glories of the better land. Tbe soul will alwavR need faith and hope, while it is progress-ing. Eternal progress is predicated of the souL Faith and hope are as eternal as the throne of God; they are from everlasting to everlasting. They can-not die. They are heavenly, and there-fore will never be turned out of heaven.

Well, if Bro, Russel does not believe that the redeemed will need faith and hope when they reach heaven, I believe it, for without them I could not be happy. Bro. Russel is right for thinking for him self. Think on, Bro. R., and by an.l by you will think right about the heavenly nature of faith and hope. They are more heavenly than earthly. But enough.

The church, as an organized body, as an institution, was commissioned to preach the gospel to every creature. The twelve apostles were, and no mis-take, the first church, and that body, the church, received the only authority to go and jireach, also to baptize. This theory must allow of church succession. This theory of a church being the only com-missioned body on earth to preach the gospel to every creature, the logical conclusions of this idea makes it the duty of a church to have a preacher; indeed, a church without a preacher is not a scriptural church. The whole church may be preachers, but not n e c ^ rarily so. The first church was com-posed of the twelve. (See Jlat. x). Now the twelve (or rather the eleven, for one was dead before the commission was given) was a body, truly and scrip-turally, a" church, and as such it could, under the apostolic authority, constitute or establish other local assemblies equally authorized to go to work under the com-mission. This theory admits of church succession. It is the only theory that will or can .perpetuate a preached gospel to the end of the world. The church, as an institution, has the authority to caU and ordain men to preach the gospel The Lord calls men to the work of the gospel ministry through the church, just in the same way he calls men to repent-ance and fiuth.

The Lord Jesus calls and qualifies and sends out the gospel preacher. He does this directly in his own person, or he

pel church acts according to apostolic irectipn, it is Christ's authority; there-ore, when Jesus calls a man to preach 16 calls him through the church; hence

the preacher is the servant of the church •the mouth of the church to preach;

lence the body or church may, nay, it must, shut its mouth sometimes.

The ordained preacher is the hand of thie body, the church, to break bread and baptize; hence the head controls the body and the band; hence the hand, as obedient to the body, breaks the bread and bap-tizes the convert for the church. So you see that a preacher must preach what the church calhj the gospel The preach-er is the servant of the chnreh. O ye churches, assert your rights and shut the mouths of your preachers who fail to preach the whole truth as it is in Jesus, and open the months of others who will preach the whole truth. Let the churches call and qualify as many faithful men to the ministry as they can,- and especially let the churches combine their influence and in the Ministers' Institute have those lectures. It is the duty of ehnrehes to ordain and send out, fully commissioned and qualified, preachers of the gospel Wake np, ehnrehes, and control your preachers, and do your duty by them— never stop until every church has her own faithful pastor who will preach what the chnreh believes and practices—what Jesus commanded. We must have more faithful preachers, but we cannot have them except as God gives tbem to us through the churches, since it is his plan to call and qualify his preachers by or through his churches.

QtrBHY.—Does the servant rule the master, or the master rule the servant ? Churches, rule yonr preachers, or your preachers will rule yon.

Why not all the Baptists in ]litul-

may we not draw the logical cdn^nsion therefrom. See how persistently sur-rounding religious organizations, together with the world, demand of Baptists the recognition of Pedobaptist organizations as Bible constituted churches. This is not the case as to another, the Episcopal oi^ganization, more exclusive even than Baptists. Episcepalians never invite others into their pulpits, yet Pedobap Usts make no clamor about it, and the worid is oblivions of the fact. But not so'as tb Baptists. Every religious or-ganization, with the world at its back, is clamoring for the recognition by Baptists of Pedobaptist organizitionst as scriptu-ral churches. And what do« all this mean ? Catholics and £pi8copal]:ans nat-urally antagonize Baptists, desiring nei-ther to recognize or to be recognized by them as the church of Christ or a part of it, but the residue, with the world, like a besieging army, clamors perpetually, "Only let us ^ called by thy name to take away our reproach."

That Baptist who, from all this, can faUto see the conclusion that Baptist churches are the only Christian organiza-tions on earth who in themselves present all the characteristics of that people pointed out by the New TesUment as everywhere persecuted, and everywhere and in every way antagonized by every-thing growing out of the prolific mother.

ber of Thb Baptist, in our pocket When we commenced to read (we think it was at t h i i ^ i n t ) the excited crowd cried out, "louder," " can't hear," " take the platform," etc., when we mounted upon our chair and remarked, " I can make you all hear." When we read the r^Iutions of the Convention in the hear-ing of all, which most fully suf tained our declarations, there was cheering on the part of thousands; and at the close of the few remarks we made. Elder Fish made the silly remarks he did, and ex-tended his hand which we took. There was cheering, but that was all clap trap on his part He never took our hand afterward during that meeting, and if he did daring the whole of the subsequent meeting in New York, we don't recollect it, and it would have made an impres-sion. Will Bro. Gaines question the cor-rectness of the above statements ? Did we say nothing, but only get upon a chair and read some resolutions ? Did we not read them after Elder Colver had re-plied to our emphatic denial of his stote-ments, Bro. Gkines?

We again say, that not the sUghtest courtesy was shown ns by that Conven-tion as a Southern minister. We were not introduced to the body. We were not invited to a seat upon the platform, as Elder Haidwick avers. We were not invited to speak upon any question, not even upon the South as a missionary field; but Bru. Gaines and Bro. Roberts, of Arkansas,^ and Bro. Kefouveor, of East Tennessee, and a freedman were. We were not invited to preach in any one of the mnUitudinous churches in that great city offered to the Convention, nor even asked to sit in the pulpit with any officiating minister during the Conven-tion. We were but faintly and coldly spoken to, by a few old acquaintances before the war, to whom we had delighted to honor when they visited the South-but by most of the leaders of that Con-vei.tion, not at all. This was the treat-ment we received personally—but we did not complain when we came home. We put the best face on everything. We saw Breth. Gaines and Roberts and the colored brother honored, and rejoiced ui their success; and it surprises and pains as to see the above from our G. Whether he meant it or not, it is copied by the Northern press as a contradiction of our statement We can prove by eye and ear witnesses our relation of facts to be essentially correct, and especially the hisses, that Bro G. did not hear. Now, why all this ado about all this ?

Elder Hardwick, of Virginia, editor of the JRecord, tells his readers how fra-ternally we were received at Chicago, and how honored by a seat upon the platform (!!!) to prove that a kinder feeling exisu at the North toward their Southern brethren than we manifest to-ward them, which is not the case. Con-trast our treatment at Chicago with that of the Northern brethren p esent at Louisville.

Sister Matilda Hoy, of Noonday, Ga., some time since purchased a small Ubrary of Baptist books—about ten dollars' worth. These books she uses as a circu-lating library—keeps them loaned in her neighborhood. She adds to these twelve Mammoth Baptists, and her Baptlst, after she has read it, and the tracts of the Baptist Tract Society.

She cannot preach—she cannot give large donations, but she can circulate good books, tracts and papers, and the records of the last day will reveal the good she has done. It will be written on her tombstone, "A worker in the vine-yard of her Master, she did what she could." Who will do likewise ?

We are receiving congratulations from the press and from correspondents in every section to which the Central goes. In most instances our cotemporaries and correspondents are pleased to extend their congratulations in the warmest terms, an ticipating for onr journal a bright future. There is indeed bnt one exception to this kindly welcome—but as geiieroas, whole-souled recognition would not have been in keepine with the spirit and aims of the

repentance and some want to add «their than know that we will have

noUiing to do with their " jeed," even if oar refiual involves the severance of fra-ternal rriMiooa with the parentage. Wa« jk par buwess, we might do other-WM^ iMt.k ii oara to do, not td will.

Bot raearring ta the ides that every-

Gaines should have heard a few hisses at this point; others did.

Elder Colver replied briefly to our declarations, and concluded by say-ing that one man'a, sUtement was only e q ^ t o another's, and that his was u reliable (or a'woid of that import) m "the gentleman from Tennessee!." What

uicuipuis Baptist, we are not surprised at its angular salutation.—CcnfraZ (Mo. Baptist.

It is said that where one has done you a great wrong you may expect repeated injury. One year ago the Central did us a great wrong, which it has never re tracted, and until it does, we don't fee! congratulations; and therefore this in jury. We will here restate that wrong for the third or fourth time, for we have repeatedly called the attention of the Central to it :

One year ago this month we suspendec our paper one month for a summer vaca-tion, stating to our subscribers that they would not lose a number; that, suspend-ing at No, 3, we should commence at No, 4, and the loss would be ours.

While absent, the Central put into cir-culation that we had played a sharp trick upon our subscribers, making fully $1000 clear, out of them, by the suspension. This statement td our bjury went the rounds of the religious prera, or was ex-tensively cojMed. Now the Central has never made ns an amendt honorgJtA^ im this, often as we have called attention to it. We did begin at No. 4, and this the (Jentral saw, and why is it not wiUing, upon the face of facts patent, to do an act of simple justice to us ? It may talk about our " spirit and aims "—we have ever been willing to do justice to a co-temporary. We make this last appeal— and^hall it be in v«n ?

Do not grant that we did not make the $1000 becansis we say we did not, but ad-mit that there wa3 no groand for tbe clarge jou made.

All will be sent by express on receipt of $25.

And add to these one or two dollars' worth of tracts annually.

Let a church, or let five brethren unite and put such a library into circulation, loan the books, and have them returned weekly and monthly.

If you cannot invest $25 in a circu-lating library, put $10 or $5 to work, and we will select the books that will do the greatest amount of good. The Baptists of the South are not at all awake to the importance of circulating their own literature. They do not supply their own libraries with books to read themselves and for their children to read The war emptied the libraries of our brethren, and they have not felt able to replenish them, and they have become careless. We have traveled extensively since the war, and put up with many Baptist families in good ciroumstances, and found scarce a Baptist book on center toble or shelf. Has not this continued quite too long? Will not scores and hundreds copy the example of our Sister Hoy ? The Methodists waked up to their book cireulation one year ago, and last year put into cireulation an enormous quantity oftheir books and tracts, while we Baptists have done- scarce anything since the war-in replenishing our own libraries and in putting books into circu-lation. Shall we not wake np this year in earnest ?

3^f support? Is there among us so 1

we^th, or intelligence, or xeal for distinctive principles, than among them?

j D o our pastore more generally ignore the ^ a l u e of religidus journals, and in W e r ^degrw fail to put forth effort for t f e r "•circulation?

Tbew questions, surely, are worth pondenng. There ia a r^roaeh that cleavestoru as a people in this matter

^and it behooves us to ascertain vh^ the tffault lies, and correct U.—Christian In-

dex, We commend the above to the atten-

tion of every minister and member of the "Old Guard" in Tennessee, Miaas-rippi, Arkansas and Louisiana—4he States in which this paper circulates. In these four States there are at least 1?5,000 Baptist communicant^ and not one m twenty-five take this paper, pr any other, or all others.

Here is a field in which every one can work, and work effectually. If we would have our people intelligrat, they must become a reading people. If we would have them united in the work in their own borders in the Southwest, they should aU take The Baptist, in whose columns those interests are advocated.

Will not each pastor, and guardsman, and noble Christian worker—sister as well as brother, go to work with a will and introduce the paper into every Bap tist family, and into 'as many othere as possible? It will hurt none. We are will-ing to compensate every one for his la-bor. See our valuable premium list Re-member August is the month to work^ for the new volume commences next month, when all will want to commencc. By subscribing now you get August extra and will be sure to get the first number of the new volume.

SOTJTHE&H EELIQIOUS PAPEBS. From statistics compiled, last winter,

by Geo, P. RoweU & Co., advertudng agents, New York, the ChrisUan Ob^ WTDcr gathers the following facts, with regard to the South. Their respective denombational papers are taken by 21,400 ofUhe ?1,»60 Presbyterians, by

,4tO of Hie 550,000 Methodii 53 550,000 ists, and by 32,453 of the 750,000 Baptists. In other words, the pro^rtion of subscribers to communicants is, among Presbyterians 2? per cent, among Methodists 9 per cent., among Baptists 4 per cent. Or, in : ret other words, more than one in every 1 bur Presbyterians is a subMriber for their papers, about one in every eleven Methodists, and only one in every twentr-five Baptists . ^ This showing does our denomination ittle credit. Its unfavorable aspect would be greaUy softened, we know, if allowance were made fbt* the lane num-ber of colored peirons embraced in our statistical tables. Bnt a ^ the most iberal deduction on that account, does

EBITOEIAL BEE7ITIE8. OxB number more completes the fifty,

and closes volume three. Hie subscription of hundreds will expire with No. 50. If they intend to continue their paper, and do not wish to miss the first numbers of volume four, they should renew this week; don't put it off until September, and lose part of the new editorial serial on the ^cen Dispensations.

Now, friends of The Baptist, is the opportune time to extend ite circulation. 1. The new volume will soon b^in. 2. Large numbers of new converts, young and nninstructed Baptists, are being gathered into our churches as the fruits of revivals, and each one should be en-listed into the young guard. 3. Asso-ciations are" meeting weekly, and each bedy should be thoroughly canvassed by some one. Bro. Rust procured at the Davis coanty Assodation, last week, ninety odd subscribe^ at another sixty, and another seventy-five. Why should we not emulate the enthusiasm of our Kentucky brethren ? So little compara-tively has been done for the circulation of The Baptist, and renewals the past three months, waiting for " better times,"" that the financial department has suffered a long and severe drouth, and we almost impatiently await for soae refreshing showers. Shall it not be from your church—from your association ? Let each pastor resolve that he will introduce it into every family in his church, and con-gregation also, if possible. Let this be the effort, commencing with volume four.

"THE OBJECT OP TBAOHHO." commzx .

I should probably have discharged the duty aaaigned me on this occanon, by •imply announdng that the ** object of teaching» in SAbbath^chools, is to lead the young to the Cross. But I presume I should not thus fully meet the expecta-tion or wishea of the brethren who hon-ored me with the appointment I must therefore, enlarge upon (he Bubjeet.

" T H X onncr O F T S A C U I X A . ' *

Motive is one of the peculiar charac- teristics of mind. Yet its glimmerings may be seen in the instinct of brutes. The stupid ox displays motive—shows its "object" in its search for food. As we rise in the scale of anirirals, we see a cor-responding increaM in the display of this faculty. When we reach man, the high-est in the order of animated beings, we find it the ruling characterisUc. Every human being, not an idiot, acts from mo-tive—has an object in view. The object may be, and oflen is, bad, nevertheless there is an object, which is pursued by every rational being.

When the object is laudable and praise-worthy, its att^ment results in good. On the other hand, when it is unworthy and bad, its attainment can only result in evil

The value of results may be estimated by the character of the object, and in proportion, as that character is enlarged and ennobling, the results will be great and lofty.

The man who trains his son to labor, has for his object the future comfort and perhaps usefulness of his boy. The object is a good one, but it is -contracted, and should the parent be satisfied with this culture, he would do great injustice to his ofispring. The one who adds to this physical training the cultivation of the mind, shows a higher sense of parental duty, and exhibits the appreciation of an object, the character of which is far more exalted. Yet, should he stop here, he falls very far short of a proper apprecia-tion of the parental relation. Far in ad-vance of this man, is be who looks to the moral, as well as the physical and intel-[lectnal culture of his child. The charac-ter of the object of this last man is greatly more ennobling to his son, and shows a greater sense of the demands of society upon hinu But even he fails, utterly fails to meet the demands of the priceless gem, measurably intrusted to his care, or the claims of a righteous God. The object of training, which alone corresponds to the magnitude of the interest involved, is that which re-gards immortality—eternity. As the

eternal is more important than the tem-poral—the toul more valuable than the body—BO does the action that has for its object, the eternal welfare of the soul, riise in importance, overshadowing all other objects. The " object of teaching " in Sabbath-schoo!, has this very end in view, and all else shonld be made to bend to this great object This point definitely fixed in the mind, the teacher has some-thing to labor for, worthy the high aims of a steward for God—becoming a dis-ciple of Christ.

To aid in the accomplishment of this object, allow me to make a few practical suggestions:

1. The teacher should endeavor to get a proper se/ue of the importance of the work in tahieh he is engaged.

No teacher will accomplish important or valuable results, who underrates his ^ponsibility. A pleasant Sunday morn-iag interview with a class of sprightly children, is delightful pastime. It is gratifying to witness the improvements of s u ^ a class in good manners, and in-creased knowledge of their lessons. It is a just source of pleasure and pride to witness the effect of one's molding hand on the yonng, in a growing sense of vir-tue and propriety, but the "object of teaching " in Sunday-school is far above an this, and in o^er to success, must be appreciated by the teacher. The work in which he is engi^ed is one of which an angel might-oe ptond. Its import-a n c e cannot be overestimated. The teach-er should consider it, in all its relations, to time and eternity. When its import-ance is fiilly comprehended,then, and then alone, is he prepared to enter upon it with becoming selfdenial and zeaL

2. The mind cmd heart of the teacher thmdd he propeiiy prepared for each lea^m.

It is out of the question to impart to others, that which we do not p o s ^ our selves. If the teacher's mind is not stewed with the treasures of God's word, he has no such treasure to bestow upon others. If heart is not imbued with the principles of rdigion, he is illy pre-l»red to lead others to Christ.

God's word shonld be carefully studied, and especially in reference to each lesson should the mind of the teacher p t s p e v e r y importai^.tmtli connected with it, befim meeting his class as sn instructor. The truly pious Christian will find this pi^aiation d^ht f i i l as weU as profitable employment. Some time, some thought, goae aacrifice is neseasary, but bow can

time, thought and sacrifice be better bestowed.

The h e ^ may be supplied firom the rich treasury of God's grace, with those heavenly graces which are io essentia to successful Sabbath-school teaching.

Then the teacher, while he diligently studies the scriptures, shonld be often at a throne of grace, that the truth of Gh>d may not only sanctify his own heart, but that he may be so iiOpressed thereby as to be able to impress the truth upon his pupils,

3. At least one fundamental truth thoutd he taxtght and enforced in every lesson.

It is best not to cumber the mind of the young with more than can be digested. The outlines of every lesson may not bear upon its face a direct truth upon the knowledge and acceptance of which the salvation of the soni depends, yet indi-rectly, if not directly, some such truth may and should be eliminated from every lesson. The sovereignty of God—the coniiption of the natural heart—the atonement by Christ—the nature and ne-cessity of regeneration, repentance, &ith, or some other truth essential to salvation, in some form or other should be brought to view at every meeting of the teacher with his class. Nor are any Sabbath-school scholars too young to begin such instruction with. These great truths should be ingrained upon the mind and memory, so that they can never be effaced. To do this eflfectually, the impression should be made before the heart is so hard as to resist impressions.

4. The spiritual interests of pupils should not be forgotten or neglected out of school.

If children are passed by in silence or with a bare recognition, during the week, they are apt to n-irard the instruction re-ceived on Stinilay as merely professional and not intended to influence the daily life. They expect, and have the right to expect, that their teacher will be con-cerned and manifest his concern that his instructions shall influence their conduct. A kind word, a gentle reproof, or a tender warning at other than school time may not only serve to impress the truths taught, but exhibit the earnestness and sincerity of the teacher. Besides, the teacher who is really in earnest realizes his dependence for success upon the Di-vine Spirit, that the seed sown may yield an appropriate harvest, and he conse-qaently is not unmindful of the spiritnal welfare of his pupils when he approaches the throne of divine grace. lie prays for them.

5. Absence from school should always be noticed and the cause inquired into and remedied if need be:

The teacher who permits members of his class to absent themselves Sabbath after Sabbath without inquiring into the cause, shows thereby a want of interest which must have a most injurious effect upon his influence. Children ,rrason, if not so sophistically, not unfreqnently more logically than older people. They reason thus in regard to the case hypoth-ecated above: " If my teacher really felt an interest in my spiritual welfare, he could not fail to miss me from my class, and knowing that I was absent, thereby depriving him of the privilege of in-structing me, he would inquire into the cause.' Surely the object he professes to have in view is not an important one, or he is not as much interested in the sub-ject as its importance demands." How can a teacher retain the necessary influ-ence,over his pupils under these circnm stances?

The earnest teacher wiirnotice the ab-sence of even one member of his class and promptly inquire into the cause. Is the pupil sick? He visits him and adminis-ters to his comfort. Is he absent fiwm negligence of want of interest ? He sets about providing a remedy for the case. It may be that the fault is his. If so, he labors to make the discovery, and at once so shapes his course that the cause may be removed. 6. Superintendent, teachers and parents

should often confer together on the subject and act in concert in the accomplish-ment of the great object of Sunday-school teacMng.

Superintendents have their peculiar du-ties to perform and are in danger of fall-ing into comparative indifference in re-gard to the duties of others and the effect of their proper discharge. Each teacher feels, and properly feels, peculiar anxiety for the welfare of his own class, but surely this particular concern should not absorb the whole of his Christian _benevolence. Parents who feel proper interest in the spiritual welfare of their children, do not in many cases property appreciate the importance of the valuabld auxiliary to be found in sound Sabbath-school instruo-tion. ^

It is dear thai the general object would be materially promoted by frequent and prayerful consultations, l^tween these different classes as to the best means of promoting this object Each one would thus contribute to the general stock of information on the rabject, and. e ^ one perhaps learn something that m%fat be

made available for the . benefit pf lus class. . • *

Besides, these consultations would tend to foster and maintiun increased interest and promote increased energy. The more we talk together and plan together, the more anxious will we be to do good to the rising generation.

An important end sought by this Con-vention is the one last named. We come together to consult and plan for the pro-motion of a great enterprise. It is truly a great privilege to Uke part in so import-ant a work, and here is a field where all may labor for the Master.

The friends of Sabbath-schools through-out the Sute will look to this body to_in-augurate measures calculated to ijispire our brethren with renewed real on the subject, and afford them faciUties for the more perfect and successful prosecution of the work. Let them not be disap-pointed.

Though not directly connected with the subject of this address, I cannot close without expressing my decided convic-tions in favor of Baptist schools and Bap-tist literature for Baptists. With pleas-ure we accord to others the right to hold and teach what they believe. All that we ask for Baptists is the same right It is sometimes said, that what are called evangelical Christians of other denomi-nations, agree with us in the fundamental principles of Christianity, and that these pripciples alone shonld be teught in Sab-bath-school. In other words (if we un-derstand this logic), we are at liberty to suppress part of the truth, provided, in our judgment, it be not a point involving the salvation of the soul. Is this faith-fulness to the blessed Redeemer ? Is this teaching all the counsel of Gk>d?

The amalgamation of-dross with pure metal will always dim the luster of the latter. So the blending of error with truth cannot fail to obscure the beauty and tarnish the virtue of truth.

While the "object of teaching" is to lead the young to the cross, that object can be best accomplished by conforming as far as possible in small matters as well as great to the divine plan.

We honestly believe that in those points on which they differ from others, as well as in those in which they agree. Baptists have th.e truth. Shall they be so unfaithful to themselves, unfaSthfal to the rising generation, and especially un-faithful to their Master, as to conceid the truth lest they should give offense to err-ing men ?

We have the men and women, holding the truth, capable of teaching. Let us give them employment

We have the books, and are constantly adding to our stock. Let us send to the Sunday-school Board of the Southern Baptist Convention at Memphis and ob-tain our Sunday-school literature.

BELLisx AX UxaKGESiRATCD Max.—^We copy the following facts from one of the letters ad-dressed to Mr. Pendleton, of Bethany, by Mr. Modisett, of Missouri:

2. Now, Mr. Pendleton, may we in all kind-ness, briefly notice a few of the facts and cir-cumstances which doubtless caused the inaugu-ration of your Refermation T

1. Says Rev. Charles Elliott. D.D., " I emi-grated from Ireland in 1816. • • I tkughtschool in West Virginia. * * My nearest ne igh^r was Mr. Lee, an elder in the Presbyterian church. • • Mr. Lee informed me on returning from Presbytery, that a yonng man by the name of Alexander Campbell, late from Ireland, .a graduate of one of the Scotch UniTersities, had been before the Presbytery for license to p rnch and was rejected for want of a sound christian experience. * * They postponed his case until the spring Presbytery. When that time and ordeal took place, Alexander waa Alexander still. The Presbyterians refused to license him (Mr. Campbell) as he gare manifest proof that he was an uneonTert^ man."

2. After Mr. Campbell had been rejected by the Presbyterians the second time, as an an-conrerted man, did he jein the Baptists in the usual way by relating a christian experience 7 Did not Mr. C. preTail on a Baptist miniater to baptize him, and upon this baptism, obtain ad-mission into a Baptist chnreh T

8. Said the Tenerable George Waller, of Kentucky, a few years before his death, to the writer, " From that day, (when he had tested Mr. Campbell's christian experience) to this, I know, while he is a philosopher he nerer did know any thing experimentally about the operation or teachings of the Holy Spirit."

4. This fearful reality ia eonfiraed by Mr. Lard in hia reply to I ^ t o r Jeter's book, page 34. "Mr. Campbell attacked the pracUee in question (relaUng a christian's experience) for the following reasons: Ist, I t is not sanc-tioned by the Bible, 2d, The main point ia the experience is a fiction; 3d, The practice fosters Buperstition." Thia conUina the secret.

How eould Mr. Campbell be regarded as a spiritually renewed man, when he waa wont to deny such a work, and to meek the experiencM of Christiana as his followers all do? The fact of a man's being a true CamplMllitelb preof pos-itive to us that he is an unregenerate man. The system never yet made a Christian, but relig-ious infidels only.

VICE.—How often have we affirmed thia in pnb-lie debate against the leaders of Methodism affirming it a divine institution, aad vital to the existence of Methodism ?

In the late Conference in thia dty, the cele-brated Dr. Lee -affirmed it to be a tradition of the eldera and nnappoiated by Christ or the apostles, and should be aboliahed. We eopy a paragraph from hia speech as it appeared ia a city paper:

« He was in favor of ehaage [L e., froaa itia-e m e y toAaet t ledpaatwat^ The great poai-tioB taken by those who oppoM thia ehaage, is that iUaeraaey is diviae, nnehangeakle—aot at aU to be diatorbed. Tke faet ia, the law of itin-erancy ia itself straagb It was e h a a ^ Sveor d x times; first, froB a quarter to h w a year, then te a year, and now we have i t toor years;

In the matter of illegitimate births, ten l ^ f ing ciUts of ProUstant England reporteg^J illegitimate children to eTery thonsand chil born; ten such cities of Catholic Austria, itm When fire leading ciUes of England and respectively, were compared, the result waa i : out of the thousand, illegitimale, in the fo: country; in the latter, 216. A like compai with regard to the ten largest cities of Pre and Austria gives 169 to the thousand in ProtesUnt cities, and 454 to the thousan the Romanist cities.

These figures, which were published by f mour fifteen years ago, remained unansi until about two years since, when an E ^ journal, of the Ritualist order, essayed t<*" some counter statistiea. . These haye b o ^ copied into a recent artiele in the AnuricaH MomtUjf, wliich ia issued by the Romanists in New York.

The reply ventured to account for the dis-proportionate amount of illegitimacy in Ro-manist countries, on the ground of the greater amount of prostitution in England. But when the statistics are looked up, it turns out that Paris has 40 prostitutes te eTery IC,000 persons, Dublin 33, and London 17. The Romanist journal, in its figures of comparison, charges to London 38,000 prostitutes, being the nnmber for all England, instead of 5619, the number actually belonging to the eity.

The facts ao adrerse to Rraianism, which had been unchallenged ao long, beiag thns anim-peached now, Mr. Seymour gires fresher sta-tistics in reference to erime.

In regard to murder, the returns for 1856 show that in England there were 1} convictions to the Billion people; in Franee 12. The in-fanticides were as 10 in Franee te 5 in England, The French suicides were 127 in the million : the English 64.

In these daya, when so much is 8ai3 of the failure of Protestentism, it may be as well for the world to understand that, in respect te moral reenlts, it may be ehown that Protestant-ism is the very religion which has had success. —Pacific.

" Who opposeth, and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he at Ood sitteth in the temple of Ood, ahowing himself that he is God." If a fulfillment of this prophecy is not found in the following statement, which we quote from the Reck, how can it ever be accomplished? Is not (Ait the anti-Christ—the powet^ that should usurp the position of, for, or instead of Christ ? Who can doubt ? '

The Bishop of Aisi and Dax has just addressed a pastoral to his flock, in which, according to the Vatican (the satellite of the Popish Tablet^ the Bishop proceeds, after the following manner, to eulogise infallibility and to de{fy his Pope:

Yon will no longer be obliged to determine the periodicity of Councils, as God has regulated the orbits of the stars that they may return in due season to give light to the world Come then, 0 Holy Spirit, and dictate to the Fathers of the Council thia degree of Pontifical Infallibility, long ago written in heaven, everywhere .and always believed on earth . And you, enemies of the church, leave us to prepare in peace a work which will assure the peace of the church and the salvation of the nations. Do not concern yourselves irith what we do or what we say. . I ^ not affect to publish our intimate mutual confidences, nor rejoice so much over what you call our divisions. Your unholy joy will not be of long duration. You wiU not find in any of us Solan trm^foriMd into o» an^el of light When the Immaculate Virgin shall have prepared, to-gether with the angels, the crewn of glory which she destines for her Gabriel, she will herself place it on the brow of the infallible Pontiff seated on his throne. And the four and twenty elders who surround the throne shall fall on their taces and worship him who liveth forever and ever. They shall east their crowns before the throne saying, « We rive thee thanks, Lord God Almighty, because thou hast taken to thyself great power and hast reigned.'

THE BEAOOV AID THE MILLEE. " Come," said the deacon to the miller,

"wBat are you going to subscribe to-wards our meeting-house? Tm round, jon know, for subacriptiona; and I take ^yoo are glad, for the sake of yonr ipowing family, that there's a prospect rf oar having a church and all the bless-mfp that come in the wake of a church."

"Why, yes, I suppose I am, or ought » be," answered the miller; "but build ^ a church is a great undertaking. a d n H we better wait till we get more fiManded."

"^an't c^ord to wait till then," said fc-dlacon, "for nobody would ever get fce&anded enough for that The matter ta been up before the people for some l i ^ and they pretty generally have a •iad finr the work. You've thought it JisTor, I dare say. How much, neigh-

It was thus that my little boy of seven 'nmmers qnestioned me—abmptly, with-»ut wariiins, without premeditation on

.^y part.

What answtT could I give ?

I looked upon his young face and saw the tamest, thoughtful waiting for a re-ply which should satisfy alike the crav-ing of hi.-' affection and the promptings of his conscience.

" Yes, my son," I answered slowly, for I was tempted to make a mental re-erva-tion with the words—" if I tell yon to do what is right."

The bright look which the boy flashed upon .me showed that he was satisfied, but the qnestion had moved me greatly. I thoujht how great was the responsi-bility devolved npon us who are parents. These little ones not only ask us for gentleness and unwearied care and love, but they say, "Show ua what is right; teach us how we may find the trnth. We send them to school and intrust them to masters and tutors, that they may be instructed in the rudiments of knowledge. We take them to church with us because it is seemly so to do, and because we wish them early trained in the knowledge of God and in reverence for his service. Yet they come to us from their books, come to ui even from the house of God, and nestling by our side, exclaim—" Do you tell us what to do." We cannot put them away. We cannot say, " Go to your Bible, let that be your guide,' for they are only putting together, with faltering speech, the few and simple words of their first lessons in reading. We cannot say, " Go to the open book of nature, and oh its fair pages read the wisdom and goodness of God." That is the food of the strong, not of children. We are their interpreters. We are to provide nourishment that may appease the hunger of their moral nature. Their education must begin at home by the fire-side, at the family altar.

What watchful, faithful care will be required at our hands.

What wisdom will be needed, that our teachings may mingle strength and ten-derness—and that the principles which are to determine the character and secure the happiness of mature life, may have a strong and durable foundation.

With what vigilance must we hold our own passions in check, and so regu-late our duly walk and conversation, that the unspoken lessons of our example may give strength to precept, and in-delibly impress a reverence for whatever is true and good.

How constantly we need the aid of the ^ l y Spizlt that our hearts may f ^ t not—and our intelligence falter not in the performance of a duty whose con-sequem^ are infinite.

Think of it ye who are parents, and when your child Bto|» from its play, and with a face glowing with a new light from 'mthin, rests his scrfk hands upon your firmer clasp, and murmors, "teU me what to do, teadi me where to go,** may God give you grace to lead him to the <'open path" and the "shining light." —S. 'W Jh-e^fterian.

A HOLT person often does the same thii^ which are done by an unholy pep-•on, and yet the things done in the two c a ^ thc^h the same in themselves are'

dUferent in their ohancter. The one per&ms them in the -wjiU o i God, and the other in the will of the

and Purple," another work on the Papacy, by Miss Ambie White, author of Leander Hall.

This second book of Miss White's, soon to be issued from the press of the Southwestern Pub-Ibhing Company, %lemphis,will make its mark, as did its predecessor. The pretension* of the Papacy are chorougbly discussed, its origin marked, its history traced, its assamptionji crit-icized, the keys of the kingdom " and the au-thority of "^lis Holiness" thoroughly exam-ined, (he succesiiion shown broken, and the church prevailed against

A brief 4iistory of the several erangelical denominniiuns is interwoTen with the thread of romance, always interesting, and in every in-sunce reaching back to Rome. The prophecy pertaining to Antichrist is Ailly discussed, the author arriving at the conclnsion that he is the Pope. A new solutioo of the seventy weeks of I4niel is offered, and the conviction arrived at that half a week (three aad a half years) re-mains to be accomplished.

The author insisu that (he Pope of Rome is not the false prophet of Revelation, unless he Should prove to be of Jewish descent for that false prophet must be a Jew.

Some peculiar views of the hundred and forty and four thousitnd, of the wise virgins, and of the reviviog of the seven churches, are pre-sented, and changes in the heavenly bodies to occur at the coming of the Savior are pointed out. The conversion of the Jews by conrerted Jewish missionaries, the millennium, the final judgment, the new heavens and new earth are discussed.

The above outline will serve to give the reader some idea of the scope and design of the book, which ia written in the osual unaffected, sim-ple, fascinating style of the author, and will be eagerly sought after and read. J.

Wlttt untold and indescribable misery has been visited upon thousands annually by these awful complaints.

SEA MOSS FARmE.—This new and elegant p r e p ^ t b n , made from Irish Moss, or Carrageen, is conceded to be the cheapest, healthiest and most delicioas food in the world. As a delightful table dessert it has no eqnal, and is a light and delicate food for Invalids and cnil-dreu. It is superior to all kindred pre-parations.

This new article of food has every-where won "golden opinions" of all sorts of people, and the housekeeper of the land generally regard it in the double light of a staple necessary and a delicions luxury, for while it lessens the expense of living, the exquisite dishes prepared from it cannot be obtained even at an extravagant cost from any other source. For twenty-five cents yon can buy a package which will make sixteen qnarts of Blanc Mange, and a like quantity of Puddings, Custards, Creams, Charlotte Russe, Ac.

THE GREAT

SPftme AND SUMMER TONIC. Medical treatment has been revolu-

tionized, and at last the discovery has been made that RENOVATION, NOT PllOSTRATION, IS THE TRUE MED-ICAL PHILOSOPHY. Tlie introduc-tion of PLANTATION' BITTERS, pre-pared witli pure St. Croi.v Rum and CaliPiiya Bark, opened the eyes of the world to this great fact. The life-sus-taining principle embodied in this great Vegetable Restorative is manifested in the weak and desponding by an imme-diate and most encouraging change. If the appetite has failed, it is quickened; if digestion has been painful and imperfect, it bctoines easy and thorough; if the liver is torpid, it is roused and regulated; if the nerves are relaxed, they are strengthened and restrung ; if the brain has been haunted bv morbid fancies, they are put to flight, and hope and cheerfuliies.s rtliirn. In the face of the extraordinary cures of general debility, dyspep-^ia, biliousness, constipation and mental despondency, wrought by Planta-tion Bitters, no practitioner not Iu league with death ana the undertaker could persist in it. The terrible evacuents which were once prescribed as Spring and Summer medicines, have utterly lost their pre»ti<jf. The sick will not take them, and Plantation Bitters, in which are combined the elements of a stomachic, an invigorant, a mild laxative, a ner\ine, and an anti-bilious specific, reigns in their stead.
