"That y«K wonld waUL worthy of God, who hu called yoa onto his kingdom and glory,"

Paul speaks Idndly and with great commendation of the Thessalonian Chris-tians, becaase they had received the Word amidst a great fight of afflictions— not as the word of man, bat the Word of God as it was—obeyed it from the heart—tamed from all their idols to serve the living God. He thanked Gk>d becaase they became examples of piety to all the chnrches aroand, even in Ja-dea, who had safiered like things'.of the Jews, that they had of their country-men. Pkal charged every one of them as a father doth his children, as Luke tells as in Acts xx. 2(X He preachec from hoase to house, exhorting, comfort-ing and charging them, and ^ e sum o: aU was, "That they walk worthy of God, who had called them to his king-dom and glory."

( Co»eladtd from Uut veei.) We think we have shown the two cov-

enants to be dissimilar, first, by their history, and second, by a comparison of each according to hicts and Scripture. Now we will endeavor to answer some of the assertians made by those whose de-sire is to famish something for the sup-port of infant baptism. The theory that the Abrahamic Charch, as it is called, and the Chnrch of Christ are the same, and that bapUsm came in the place of circumcision, is intended, no donbt, and nrgad to prove the right of infants to baptism and membership. We have, we think, shown this theory to be only a speculation, without either foimdation or shadow; but a little further examination will, perhaps, not be unprofitable.

Dan. iL 44: "And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed; and the Ungdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for-ever." This prophecy evidently refers to the kingdom of Christ, and was spoken of many centuries after the establish-ment of the covenant of circumcision and the commencement of the Jewish kingdom. This kingdom was not even set up in the days of Daniel, but many centuries afler, and consequently could have no reference either to the time of Abraham, or to the Jewish kingdom at SinaL This kingdom, after its establish-ment, shoald never ba destroyed, nor be lefl to other people, which is not true of the Jewish, for many times before the coming of Christ, their kingdom passed into the hands of other people, and since that period they have been without national existence, wanderers in every nation of the earth. - " I t shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms," is, we think, only trae of the kingdom of Messiah, which has stood from the day of its setting np by John the Baptist until the present, while the kingdoms and empires which then stood, glorying in their greatness and extent, have crambled and fallen. " I n those days," that is, in the days of those kings prophened of by Daniel, "came John the Baptist, preaching," "and saying the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Here we see thefiilfillment of the setting up of the kingdom of Christ, by John the Baptist, and this occarred many hundred years afler the complete establishment of the Jews, in the land of Canaan. We ask in all candor, how can it be identical with the Jewish kingdom? How can the folfiUment of Daniel's prophecy be retrospective, and not look to the future? To say that Christ's tdngd<fm was set up or commenced in the days of Abraham, would be.aa jas t as to say that a man who had committed a capital crime to-day shoald be executed in the days of the Caesars. John the Baptist, in setting up the kingdom which he preached, and into which he baptized those who mani-

you sure, I say again, yoa are already in it, and have been since the days of Abia-ham. You have been circamcise<l, and you know the power of circumcision, to place you in the certain way of God's blessings; and I am here according to the prophecy in Dan. ii. 44, and Malachi iiL, only to tell you jhat this kingdom which I now preach has been established already many centuries, and therefore baptism, the new ordinance instituted in the place of circnmcision, cannot be for you, bat it is for all outside, viz. : the Gentiles who do not belong to our aged and venerated kingdom. You know that circumcision shows your right to this kingdom, and therefore, to yon baptism would be a useless and sen«.-ic»s' ordi-nance, which could not i i any way make your title any -learer. But baptism, as it comes in the room of circumcision, is now to be given to all outsiders who enter this kingdom, and I here promnlge the law which is yo stand firm—that no

take now. I went to God's throne of sovereign and boundless graca I had been there before, and thought that I knew Jesus, my advocate with God, in all l.is offices of kindness to poor peni-tent prodigal's. But I found to my sur-pri.sc that there was something unsatis-factory and incomplete in my knowledge of him. I coald go to none other than a parent—a kind and loving Father; none other could sympathize with me; none other could meet the urgent necessities of my soul. I wished, therefore, to know definitely who he ia, what being he is, that my soul might repose in him. I am taught that he has a human soul, and that the second person in the God-head in some mysterious manner dwells in this, and that this is a necessity of his

one hereafter shal| be required to submit to the bloody right of circumcision, but to the more m^^ and gentle sprinkling of water on t h / forehead, called baptism, to represent, according to the opinion of some, the burial and remrreetion of onr dear Messiah." But he said, "Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the tree; therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire." The Savior, who was of the tribe of Judah, and was no priest according to the Mosaic law, because not of the family of Aaron, received baptism at the hands of John, and thus entered bis own kingdom. John received none into this kingdom except believers in the Messiah, and baptized none others; and as he baptized the Jews, who had before been circumcised, and preached first the kingdom of heaven to them, who had for centuries belonged to the Jewish national congregation, it seems but just to say that John coald not do these things— baptize believers, and receive them into Christ's kingdom—consistently if the two kingdoms were identical, and if bap-tism had come in the place of circum-cLiion. If baptism came in the room of circumcision, it could not have done so to the believing Jews, apostles and Christ, who were both circnnicised and baptized; nor could it have been thus with Hmothy, who was both baptized and circumcised; or Paul was much to blame for not expluning how, and the teachings of Christ and the apostles failed to give us light on this subject, as they never onc^ mention such a con-nection or identity. If the theory advo-cating the identity, etc., of the two kingdoms is correct and Scriptural, why did not Peter, on the day of Pentecost, or while preaching to the Jews, or Philip, while baptizing men and women at Samaria, or the council which convened at Jerusalem for discussion of the ques-tion of circumcision, tell us plainly that the kingdoms were identical, and that circumcision had now passed away ? If even a clear intimation bad been given on any one of these occasions that the theory now under examination was true, who more readily would subscribe to it than the Baptists, who only wish to know what the Word of God teaches, to obey it?

being, in order that he may sympathize with us in our infirmities, and in order to explain a great many other supposed difficulties. Oh! how freezing was this! My soul sickened at the view. Here, then, were two distinct intelligences in

and the same person! To which shoald I look? I asked myself the ques-tion. What is the difference between saying that he has a human soul, and that he is a human soul? Thus was I perplexed, but not confounded; for sev-eral passages of Scripture came uncalled to my relief, dispelling this anti-Chris-tian dogma and revealing the true char-acter of my Savior. Yes! blessed be his name! He said to me, " Have I been so long time with yon, and hast thou not known me? He who hath seen me hath seen the Father, and how sayest thou, then, show me the Father." Again,

a lK)dy "—not a soul—" hast thon pre-pared me." Prepared who ? Why, the Son of Grod—the second person in the Godhead—not a human souL Agun, " the Word was made flesh "—not clothed in a human soul, but in flesh, with the brain as the organ of its action—taking the place of the human soul—the human mind, that had so signally failed in the garden of Eden. Man had been made in the image of God,- and an organism or body that might contain and give play to the powers of a mind made in the image of the Divine mind, might conUun and give scope to the powers of the Divine mind itself. The heavenly intelligences were dumb with amazement at man's failure to keep God's holy law. Who should take his place, who should condemn sin in the flesh, as not a neces-

king, and tiiat if I keep his sayings, even my mother and my brother. Nothing is wanting here. Lifinity of everything the soul needs is here. Then let the storm rage, the wind blow and the rain beat. If my feet are planted on this rock, I shall stand. Here, then, my soul found repose. But, put a human soul there, and all is perplexity and doubt. I do regard this human soul-doctrine of Jesus as a fearful heresy, tending to ob-scure the world's greatest Bght—the tme character of Jesus of Nazareth.

One more thought, in close connection with this view, and I will close Man's fulnre had caused God's wisdom, in his creation of him, to be impugned; and the devil was exultant at his supposed victory. But here was one, in the per-son of Jesus, who was to bring into the conflict a wi^om that would more than overmatch our arch enemy and put him to everlasting confusion, and reveal the ineflable glory and wisdom of God in the matter of man's creation in a manner that had never been conceived of by the highest archangel, and that is yet in-comprehensible to any human intelli-gence, unless regenerated and possessed of large and strong faith in Jesus. Thus renewed, however, the great mystery— the permission of evil in God's universe becomes a sublime revelation of Grod's wisdom and mercy. Give me, then, clear view of Jesus—a view unmixed

WHO IS JESUS OF XAZABETH? D. G. ABES.

Soon after the cIom of the late war I was called to endure some fiery trials and cruel disappointments. In-deed, before the war closed I had been in a sea of trouble, and did not enjoy a dear view of my Savior. And now as the dark storm hoveried around me with renewed teriror, and as all earthly solace and hope seemed utterly cut oflT, I turned me around to Jesns for help in this ter-rific hour. My soul was profoundly in earnest, and I needed to see and know and feel the rock upon which. I might stand in this terrible trial, and for which I woold be willing to give up life and all tiMt was dear. I t was a lifis and death

Then the soul has something tangible, something real, to rely on.

O, let me but feel and know that this Jesns is mine, and that I am his, and you may rob me of this worid and all that hold dear here, and heap upon mr re-proach and scorn, and cast my name out as naught, and I will count it all naught; yea! and rejoice if I may be counted worthy to be partaker of his sufferings.

SIX IXPOaTAJIT FUXCmES. I. The BihU, and the BHU alons. nnallsyed

with human devices or tradition, is, and ever

sity, but a criminality—honor the law, and hence the Lawgiver—suffer its pen-alty, and save the offender? The mys-tery was solved in God's infinite love. He gave his only begotten Son, who freely offered to take man's place—not the place of his body, but hia place in the body. He did not come to deify man's soul and make that a substitute, but to humanize his own mind—talce the pldce ef the human soul, and to take, so to speak, all the chances, all the risk, all the disadvantages, in this new field of conflict with the devil. Hence, to be tempted, to suffer grief and joy and pain, and all the pressure of the flesh through its passions—the same as the human soul, only without sin—and finally, to die in the same way. He trod the wine-press alone. I t was his soul that trod down strength, and he did not need any human soul to aid him in this work. No, the human soul was the guilty party, for whom he was doing the work; but the body was an innocent party, and Gk>d, in vindication of its innocence, made it his abode, and kept and made honorable the law, which its guilty partner had vio-lated, and brought upon it death and all our woe.

Some one will say this view will not do—you make the Deity suffer. My an-swer is, that is a very foolish objection, and very easily answered. When will we get rid of the old notions of the schopl-men of a thousand years ago, and leam to take God at his word ? All such objections are very well answered by the apostle Paul when he exclaims, " Great is the mystery of Gk>dline88. God was manifested in the flesh." O, what a stoop of love was here! Here lies the great mystery—the mystery of his love—^in comparison with which there is no other. Then let my weak and fool-ish reason bow with the profoundest rev-erence to the superior teachings of his Word, and let my faith embrace the reve-lation that God has made of himself to me, in Jesns of Nazareth. As to who the Son, the second person in the Gk>d> head, is, I hare no trouble about t h a t ; I leara that ^ in common with all intelli-gences and an worlds, was made by him,

and henoe, that he is my Father, and that he haa become in the perwm of Jesns, my enrety, my snbstitate, my piieat and

I'EDOBAPTIST ABROGAXCE. B. a. X.

Occasionally there can be found a Pedo-baptist who has courage suffidcnt to de-fend, publicly, the tenets of his deiionii national f u th or views; but seldom one so bigoted and confident as to pledge himself to make good snch propositions as the following:

I. Sprinkling was the only mode baptism in the time of Christ and the apostles, according to the Scriptures.

II. Infant children were always bap-tized by the apostles in the fmth of their parents or head of the household.

HI. The Presbyterian Church can trace her history from the time of the apostles, unconnected with the Church of ^ m e .

Rev. W. A. Montgomery, of Lead vale, Jefferson county, was challenged some weeks since by a Rev. M. Morrison, Presbyterian minister of some reputation as a debater, to discuss these three propo-sitions ; Morrison to affirm, Montgomery to deny.

Bro. Montgomery did not court the discussion—it was of Morrison's own seek-ing! He challenged Bro. M. rather to intimidate thah otherwise, and, in way revenge, becaase of Bro. Montgomery "depredations" upon his (Morrison's' flock. And by way of parehthesis, we would remark, that Bro. M. has a nsMt happy faculty in convincing Pedobaptists the error of theii* way and of truly bap-tizing them. Not only " outraged Mo^ rison " has cause to complain, but min ters of other denominations.

The disctission is to take place near Madisonville, Monroe county, East Ten-nessee, and commences the 18th of Sep-tember. This is Morrison's own commu-nity, population mostly Presbyterians. Debate to be repeated at Leadville twenty days after first discussion.

The general opinion is that it will never be repeated. The Pmbyter ians are mn interested in the discussion, and fear the results. And weU they may. Bro.

wantment of the Boara at Marion, unm ; January last Owing to the pecuniary

lerfwrrasment of that Board, but few ap-I pmntments could be made until recently. > At present seven brethren are laboring , m the State under its appointment, some i of them in the most important positions:

» Kd. F. L. Seward, agent and evangelist. i The contributions received by that

Soard from the whole State during last year were $2108.70 against $2097.45 the year previous. It is gratifying to observe line the Board is almost relieved of its

To this time he has secured, in ^ h and pledges, $^8616.30; and twelve young m i s t e r s are being sustained at college, while more are ready to go next fall.

Of the young men at Allege, two are from Hinds coonty, two from Holmes county, two from' 3Ieridian, two from Attala county, one from Yazoo county, one from Choctaw - county, one from Copiah county, and one irom Kankin county. - The same Board has authorized its agent to secure funds to send young min-isters to the Theological Seminary when-ever it shall seem desirable for them to go. Also, to receive contributions for supplying with books young ministers who are not able to go to school.

Yalobusha had two missionaries. Eld. J . L. Jennings, laboring three-fourths of his time, leMrted 153 sermons and-45 baptisms. Eld. W. L. Coopwood, labor-mg a part of the year, reported 115 ser-mons, 50 prayer-meetings, one church constituted, 43 baptized, and four re-claimed.

Within this Association, Cofieeville, the county site of Yalobusha, and Mc-iffntt, with all Sunflower county, are without Baptist preaching. Five San-day-schools are reported.

Columbus has no missionary. Reports great destitution along the Mobile and i )hio railroad—Artesia, Ma^fhew and Tib-1)ee, all the southwest portion of Octib-leha county, and almost all the country jetween the road and the Bigbee. It re-

ports nine Sunday-schools. It sustains one young minister at the Theological Seminar}- at GreenvJle.

This Association also aided two of its 'eeble churches; Elds. A- G. Parrott and A. Kay laboring for them, as missiona-ries, one Sabbath in each month. It also sustained one young minister, Bro.W. 6 . Thompson, at Greenville, S. C., in the Theological Seminary. It has determined to sustain one missionary for his whole time, and Bro. T. to take a thorough edu-cation. It reports two Sunday-schools.

Kosciusko reports "nothing being done br domestic missions" within its bounds.

Choctaw rendered important assistance to several of its churches, through Elds. " a Buck, E. Pace, G. Gray, and L. C. Kellis. l u destitute churches were visit-ed, and one i^rganized near Scooba; but no definite report of labor given. The Association determined to employ a n^ionary, and to aid Bro. Kellis in studies preparatory for the ministry.

We zwde somei progress towlrd friends of the Home, who could not ap-preciate (mr iaotives and circumstanctts, were dissatiafirf t ^ h t t e d e c i s i o ^ The the independenbe of selfcsupport of tte reault was an immediate and almost total TTomp fklling off of the small receipts that we|i( coming into the treasury. When t | p Board met a g ^ , in December, to con-sider whether they would ratify the con-tract made by CoL Power, we found our-selves quite unable to comply with its terms. It had become necessary to use some of the cash in hand in purchasing provisions for the orphans; and this feet, with the cessation of^eceipts, was rap-idly depleting the treasury. Even if .we could have made the first payment, we should have done it, not only with the almost certainty of losing the money thus paid, in consequence of not being able to make the other payments, but, also, with the fair prospect of bringing the children to absolute want. No other course was left us, therefore, bat to de-cline the purchaso.

The agent of Mr. Speed demanded the fulfillment of the contract, and informed us that if the first payment was not made by the first of January, he would turn us ont, and would rent the premises to other parties; and would not thereaf-ter, for any consideration, either rent or sell us the property. Here was a tria of our faith and of our resources; and here, too, we saw in the end the wisdom and the strange but wise providcnce o; our Heavenly Father. This very ex-tremity wrought our deliverance. We were confident of the rectitude and wis-dom of our decision, and we trusted to time and a kind Providence to vindicate onr course. We were not disappointed.

Home. liave planted this year ^$5 acres in cotton^ 30 acres in com and oats, besides othermall crops and a large gar-den. We have set out 2000 fruit trees, and planted three acres in grape vines, all of which are doing well. We have also commenced a small nursery, which we hope to make remunerative. Influenced somewhat by the judgment of experienced finit-^wers and nurserymen, it is the intention of the Board to extend opera-tions in these lines until we make the Home as near self-supporting as it can be made. We need, however, more stock of every description, such as mules, horses, hogs and cows. Friends of the Home cannot do us a greater fevor than to con-tribute something that will aid us in working the land and in feeding the chil-dren.

In making this our fifth annual report to your honorable body, we should not do justice to our feelings did we not ex-press our deej> sense of gratitude to God for his fostering care and providential OTidance during the past year. He has led us in a way we taew not, and has verified his promise, "Trust in the Lord and do good, so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed." Through many discouragements and trials, he h ^ brought us to your anni-versary again, with thanksgiving on our lipe and gratitude in our hearts.

GSKXBAI. RBVIEW. - In our last annual report, the fact was

stated that the title to the Lauderdale property had been lost, and a detailed statement of all the facts connected with that unibrtunate transaction is given therein. We commenced the labors of the year, therefore, under the most em-barraaring circumstances. With two hundred helpless children on our hands we bad no certain Home in which to shelter them. We knew not at what moment we should be ordered to leave the premises we then occupied. We had no asnrance that the people would feel able or willing to provide the means necessary to purchase a new home. But, as ^ e could not honorably go backward, Md had no disposition to do so, tmst-mgly went forward. Onr first object was to secure the rent of the Lauderdale p r e p a y for the balance of the year. In thu we succeeded. This gave no time to perfect our arrangements. Calls had been made for money, and for bids for a new location. Unfortunately, we had no g e n e ^ agent in the field at. this time, and funds came in slowly. Many places, however, were offered as suitable loca-tions for the Home. Committees, ap-pomted by the Board, visited as many of t h ^ locations as it was thought ad-^ b l e . None of thc^^ however, en-

of the Board. On the of November, after a thorough e i m i ^ o n of the whole subject, it was ^ d e d thatwe could not perhaps do better than to re-purchase the Springs property. It is true, that location ^ d not m i ^ y rrapecta suit us; but it came

d ^ g it than any other place at toertime offered us. It seemed to be the best we could do; indeed the state of our finances shut us up to this choice.

I t would cost less than any other place at OM d i r o o ^ We, therefore, appoint-T ' ^ as our agent at JadBon, to negotiate with the agent of i l r . Speed, for the re-purchase of tfie iwoperty. In due time, CoL Power in-formed ns that he had contracted with said went te take the property for the snm of nine tboosand in. three

annual payments. e soon found, however, that many

the time, the prospect of two hundred children, t u r n ^ out in midwinter, to Bufler from the chilling blasts, and rains, and snows of that inclement season, was harrowing in the extreme. Our anxie-ties wore intense. But, in the midst of these perplexities, we learned that possi-bly we could secure the government buildings, one mile north of Lauderdale Sl^ation. We had long had our eye upon those bnildings, and had used every ex-ertion to secure them, but had hitherto failed. Our necessities opened the way to their final possession. An effort was immediately made in that direction. In the meantime the agent of 3Ir. Speed was also induced to change his terms. He proposed as his ultimatum, to rent us the old property for one year, and no less a time, for 'the sum of $1500 cash, and a policy of insnrance on the build-ings for A6000. This proposition we of course could not accept. Our efforts, however, to obtain the government build-ings were soon successfuL An order was ol^ained from General Ames to dispose of them at public sale on the 27th of January, and they were purchased by our agent for the sum ot t558. They are worth ten times the amount we paiS for them.

The land on which these buildings stand belongs as yet to parties in Indi-ana. They are aiixious to sell, and it can be purchased at reasonable figures. There are 120 acres in the tract. We have also purchased 260 acres adjacent to this, of good rate land, for §3000; payments in two equal annual installments. We now consider the Home

P E K M A N E j m , Y LOCATED. We have a beautiful site, with plenty

of land for present purposes. The land is as productive as any in that section of the State, and the timber the best in the whole region. There is a sufficiency of the best pine and oak to put up ten times the number of buildings we shall ever need, and then have enough left for fenc-ing and fuel. If we had the means to suitably improve this location, we could make it a little paradise for our orphans. Commanding in position, healthy, well watered, and easily accessible, with a comparatively small expense, it can be made not only a comfortable but an ele-gant home for the destitute orphans of our land.

COST OF liTPnOVESIENTS. Many may be anxious to know the esti-

mated cost of fully equipping the new Home. We can of course only approxi-mate the figures, and yet we thmk we can reach a point of exactness sufficient for all practical purposes. If we had $20,000 to be spent in the erection of buildings, and $5000 to pay for land and other improvements, the Board are confi-dent that with this expenditure they would be prepared to a--commodate at least 400 children. Our friends in Ken-tucky are proposing to spend $100,000 in the purchase of land and the erection of buildings in the city of Louisville, and then wiU not be able to accommodate more than 100 children. Yet they con-ader it a wise investment How econom-ical our expenditure compared with theus. With one-fourth the amount in-vested we can care for four times as many orphans. And with us, when they leave the Home, they will be prepared in every case, so far as capacity will per-mit, to take care of themselves; for each mil have acquired a useful and profita-ble vocation, as well as a suitable mental training. We are confident that no Orphan Asylum in the land will compare m cheapness with the expenditure which we propose lo make. No college with an ^ u a l number of students can be es-Ublbhed on a permanent foundation for three times the money. The above esti-mates are of course outside the annual cost of support. But it should be re-membered that we propose to so manage the institution, that this annual cost shall gradually diminish to a very small amount, and if possible to zero. And then the whole amount need not be se-cured and expended all at once. The present buildings can be used until bet-ter ones can be provided. We can have

THB BAKNBB. One of the most efficient means of self

support is the Orphan^ Home Hanner. The amount of revenue derived directly from it as profit on its publication is con-siderable, and it has proved to be the best agent we have had in the field during the year. The good it has done is incalcula-ble, not merely in bringing contributions into the treasury, but in disseminating just views of the character and aims of the Home. Ito circulation ought to be quadruple what it is. How easy it would be for its friends to make it more than this, if they would but make the effort We urge this with ei^hasis upon every lover ot the Home. ^ laboring to in-crease the circulation of the Banner^ the most tender female caa do as much to-ward feeding the hungry and clothing the naked as the most robust and ener-getic man. Will not the lady friends of the Banner run its circulation up to ten thousand during the next year? They can do it if they vsiU to do i t The paper is worthy of patronage be-cause of its intrinsic merit; it is worthy of patronage because of the good it ac-complishes in the cause of the orphan.

o x n i T B s o u n c E S o f s u p p o r t . We mast, however, still depend for

some years to come mainly on the chari-ties of the people for the sustenance of the Home. It would be wrong te create any other impression. The Home must pass through the period of childhood be-fore it can reach the vigorous and inde-jendent state of manhood. A slow and lealthy growth is better than a preco-cious one. And do the best we may in the way of self-support, it will neverthe-less doubtless always make some small demand upon our charities. And why should we wish it otherwise ? Benevo-lence is a God-like attribute, and the more we exercise it in the right spirit, the more like God we become. We ought to be thankful for opportunities like this of developing our better na-tures. This Home, if we sustain it as we should, will make us better men, bet-ter citizens, and better Christians. Of all types of men, the penurious and nig-gardly arc the meanest and farthest from the kingdom of heaven. The Home, while it blesses the orphan, equally blesses those who sustain i t It will be a sad commentary on the character and Christianity of our people should they permit it to suffer for want of support

We desire here to make y^ecial ac-knowledgment to the I^Iasonic Fraternity of the State, for the very liberal contn-bntions received from that source since the foundation of the Home, especial during the past year; and we have r doubt that the fact of there being near one hundred children now at the Home who are the orphans of Masons, will con-tinue to invite the charitable offerings that great and noble brotherhood.

Only $1000 of this was paid in cash; the balance is well secured. We trust this arrange-ment will meet your approbation. We are greitly indebted to Judge T.

Strange as it may seemi, compl^ ts have reached us from two direcily oppo-site sources, with r e g i ^ to the denemi-'

ponaL:controLof the institution. One y «HBiplain4|that it is too denomina-

_ a l ; the other, that it is not enough m It is of cotliBe impossible to satisfy w^h parties, and the present manage ment seems to satisfy neither. This however, may be the result of not un-derstanding the plan on which the Home IS conducted, and the causes which led to the adoption of this plan. It will not ^ out of place, therefore, to give a brief history of the origin of the institution as It now exists.

Daring the year 1864 the subject of establishing a Home or Asylum for the destitute orphans of Confederate soldiers was generally discussed in the public papere throughout the State. Public meetiags were held to deliberate upon the matter—one at Jackson, called at ^ e instance of Gov. Clark, and one at Columbus, of which Bishop Green was chairman, or in which he took a promi-nent part The object of these meetin«T8 was to unite all denominations in tSe support of a Home in such a way that no one denomination would have a supe-rior controL After a thorough canvass-ing of the whole subject by Ae leading minds of the State, the opinion seemed to be quite general that it could not be done. It was thought best by many that some one denomination should become responsible for its origin and manage-ment, who would conduct it in such a manner, if possible, as to unite all hearts in Its support The Baptists, bemg per-haps the strongest denomination in the State, voluntarily undertook to do this. The Mississippi Baptist State Conven-tion met at Crawfordsville, October 26, 1864, and inaugurated measures which resulted in establishing the Home at Lauderdale. The charter gives the en-tire control to this Convention. The Convention appoints the Board of Trus-tees, one-third of them every year, thus becoming responsible for the c h ^ ^ t e r of the I^ard and the success or failure of the institution. They have the power of reviewing the action of the Board as often and as critically as they choose, and of directing them in their line of policy. It has been thought best by the Convention hitherto in appointing these Trustees, to giVe leading members of other denominations a place upon the Board. Tlic Board thus.constituted, has endeavored to manage the institution in accordance with the plan thus indicated by the appointing power, in the spirit of catholic Christianity. No just cause of offense has been given to these gentle-men of other persuasions who have been associated with us. An<l we bear cheer-ful testimony to the fact that they have been fttithful and true to the interests of the Home. Some of them have been among the most laborious and self-sacri-ficing of our number. Every measure of the Board, so far as we know, has met their cordial approbation. We have la-)ored together as Christians and philan-

thropists, and not as Baptists and Pedo-japtists.

Where, then, is there any cause for complaint ? With all this unlimited con-trol of the institution, the Baptists de-mand that it. should be made more thor-oughly Baptist in its internal administra-tion, and in its religions influences. And the Pedobaptiats, notwithstanding all this yielding to their wishes and views, in conducting the institution in the in-terests of no one denomination, demand that it shall be entirely severed from the control of the Convention, and either made self-perpetuating in its Board, or placed in other hands. We have refer-ence in the above to Baptists and Pedo-baptists outside the present Board of Trustees. The pressure is from without, not from within, but it is strong, and can-not be ignored. Official deliverances from the ecclesiastical organizations of our Pedobaptist brethren, and a mighty

f round-swell coming from the Baptist rotherhood throughout the State, have

forced the issue upon us. Both parties may be unreasonable; but they must be h e ^ ; and if they cannot be satisfied that the present policy is the wisest, then some new policy must be adopted. The l^ard is placed under very embarrassing cirounistances; they can turn neither to the right hand nor to the left; on the one hand Scyll^ on the other Charbdis; in front the boisterous sea, behind the wail-ing cry of helpless orphanage; the cur-rent across our course, and threatening to engulf us. What are we to do ? Shall we lie on our oars and miserably founder amid the contending waves? or shall we ne-ve our arms anew and strike out through the storm to the light and the calm beyond ? To perish would be cow-ardly. There is a glorious future before us, if we prove ourselves worthy of the occ^on. We appeal to the Convention for instruction.

W. S. Webb, Sec'y of Board.

A special committee was appointed on the denominational character of The Home, in compliance with the request of the Board, and the following is their re-port, which was adopted:

Your Committee, to whom was re-forred t h « part of the Report of the Board of Trustees of the Orphans' Home asking instnctions with reference to its' denominational character, have had the same under serious consideration, and would beg leave to make the following

b e p o b t : That at this time "aU estate, property

and effects held or hereafter to be held by said Trustees," are held in trust for this Convention, to provide a Home for the dependent orphans of the State, to support and educate them, and to qualify them for usefulness and respectabiUty in the world. That the Board of Trustees consists of 21 members, to be elected by the Convention, one-third of them a i nually, and this Convention is responsible for the management of said Home, hav-ing its absolute control, to whom the Board of Trustees are responsible for their action. That it was not the inten-tion ot this Convention, in the organiza-tion of the Home, to establish an uislitu-tion to propagate the peculiar doctrines of the Baptist denomination, but to dis-pense charities on such liberal basis as not to give offense to any sect in its internal management; and .that this in-stitution has gathered its wards from all denominations and from the ivorld.

Your Committee is impressed with the admirable manner in which your Board of Trustees have discharged the trust committed to them, and especially the deep interest and self-denials manifested by members of the Board who are not Baptists.

Bii^ in consequence of the great dissat-isfaction arising both among Baptists and Pedobapiists with reference to the doubt-ful denominational character of the Home, and the great improbability or actual impossibility of sustaining it longer upon this basis, we advise a change in the line • of policy hitherto pursued, and recom-mend the passage of the following resolu-tions :

1. Jiesolved, Thai the time has come when it becomes the duty of this Conven-tion to give the Home a more definite denominational character: Provided, That this resolution shall not prevent the Convention from appointing any one deemed competent to act as a Trustee to the Home, or as employes, not connected with the Baptist denomination.

2. liesolved. That the thanks of this Convention are due, and are hereby tendered, to the Board of Trustees, for the very satisfactory manner in which they have discharged the difficult and imp'ortant duties assigned them by this Convention.

3. Resoleed, That onr thanks are due, and are hereby tendered, to the Masonic fraternity and all others who have aided ns; and as we shall contmue to receive beneficiaries as heretofore from all sources, we cordially invite the hearty co-opera-tion, sympathies and prayers of all the good people of the State and elsewhere.

Respectfully submitted, A. H Booth , Chairman.

, and their reaaoaa tar ao differing, are aa bOow:—

I . The Baptiat ehnrehea regard it as Chriat'a wiB, that an ehnreh members should be cam-Mriid ftrmau. Whea'Sanl "eaaayed to join himaeif to the diseiples " at Jeroaalem, ther de-eliaed to receire him, bee&aae they "beliered •«t that ha was a diaeiple.*" I t waa not tin they •aeertained this, from hearing that he had "aeen the Lord in the way," and had "preaehed boldly at Damaaens,' that they permtted him to be "With them, eomisg in and going oat, at Jemaalem."—AeU ix : 26-28. An the mem-bers, alao, of the first church, are addressed aa HBUI;—Bom. i : 7 : 1 Cor. i : 2; Eph. i : 1.

Bat in Pedobaptiat dinrehes, many persoas •re members who are not reeeiy^ as coaTerted. In the Bpiacopal and Presbyterian eatabliah-menta, and some of the bodies formed by those who hare seceded from them, persons are received to /mO tammauam withoat eTidence of their coaTersion; and thoogh the Congrega-tional Pedobaptists require proof of conTersion before reeeiring persons to the Lord's table, and to fan member^p, they mostly regard infanta, and oneonTcrted persona, when baptized, as members of inferior d e g r ^ The Westminster Coafesaion of Faitii, which apeaks the Tiewa of Preabylff.«xi9, and of many Coagregationalists on this aobject, says that tie ehOdrtn of memhen m» timmhn mimim; bor% mUtin the ekareh. Samo Independents ^f fer from this view, bat rery many of them regard both infanta and the oneonTerted, when baptized, as connected, in some degree, with the chnrchof Christ—(See I>r. WardUw and Dr. CampbelU

Baptist ehorehes, on the contrary, receive as m e m b ^ those only who give credible evidence of their conversion; they do not acknoirledge either infanta, or the nncenverted, asf having any vimble connection with the chttreh of Christ. —AeUii: 47: 1 Cor. iii: 16.17.

IL Baptist ehnrehea (stf ctly so called) re-gard it as Christ's w ^ that aU believers received to membership shoald be fint b^tited. DM New Testament ehorehes eonsiated wholly of b^tized believers. Peter said to believers on the day of Pentecost, "Be b^t ized every one of yoB," and they "were baptized."—Acta u : 88-41; see, also, z : 48. So that the Baptist ehnrehea are, in thia respect, "followers of the ehnrehea of God," aa fint foonded by Christ sad Hia apoatles.—1 Theaa. i i : 14.

Bat ia doing so they differ from all other ehnrehea; Crom the Queers, who reject bap-tism, fram the Pedobaptisti^ who sabstitnte an-other rita for the immersion of believers, and from an open commnnionists, whether Baptists, «r PedcAiaptists, who admit persons without beiag baptized at aU; instead of r^niring, as the apoatles and first chnrehes di4 that an b r e v e t s should be baptised before being re-ceived to membership a ^ eommnnion. Christ has given to His ehioches no StftaMmg power to set aside His laws; no tefida&M power to make new ernes; bat has enjoined OS them to "observe aQ tHagt mhataoaa" He has commanded, (Hatt. xzviii: 20); and, if ever tempted to neelect Hia laws^ "to obey Ood rather than men."— AsUT: 29.

m . Baptiat ehorehes regard it as Christ's win that an ehnreh members shoald be votelflf; •fwfcri ; that none shoald be made member^ either against their will, or without their kaowlad^ God is a S ^ i t , and those who w«ahip Him most do so in *pirit and in truth, (Johaiv; their service most be that of lov^f&ith and ehefience.—1 Cor. xiii: 1; Bom. ziv: 23; Bom. xvi: 26.

lY. Baptist chnrehes maintain that Christ reqnirea tofy aeMtg m <wry aumber. Church iPumhjTTf are spoken of in S ^ p t n r e as "lively stones," furming part of " a spiritual house," which is devoted to God.—1 PeL i i : 5. The Ih« yoong are to be instructed, (Eph.vi: 4); the nnmly wame^ the feeble-minded comforted the weak supported, (1 Thess. r : 14); those who r^oice, rqoiced with; those who we^ , aympathized with; those who are bereaved, vis-ited.—Jaa. i : 27. To the ungodly the gospel is to be made known, p Thess. i : 8); and good done to an men.—GaL vi : IOL In some part of tTisas labors an the members of Baptist churches caa engage. But the ieadmemhen ot worldly aatiAlishments cannot, nor can the tB/bn( memben ef aay Pedobaptist ehorehes. They can have no part nor lot in the matter.

V. Baptist churches believe it to be Christ's win, that what is spent in His service should be tmm milk rt^ mil, and that aery ehmrek men-htr, whb is able^ should thus givsi When nsikiag a coUection for the poor saints at Jent-ssleiL the apostle says "As I have given order tn thf chnrches of Q ^ t i a , even ao do ye ; open the first day of the week let eoerg one ^ yom lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him." —1 Car. xvi: 1,2. This injtmction shows that it is tha d n ^ of every ehnreh member to contri-bate as God enables him. And the apostle says, "If there be first a wHBag wnml, it u accepted seeordiag to that a man hath ;" showing that a wQHag mindisaeedfiilto make such aid accept-•Ide to God.

BED BRREB ASSOCIATION. The meeting of the 2d district of the

Red River Association met, according to appointment, with the Fellowship Chnrch, Bienville parish. La., on Satur-day, July 30, ISTO.

H e appointee to pr&ch the introuuc-tory f ^ n g to attend, Eld. J. F. Hinson performed that duty.

After a short recess, the meeting was organized by appointing Eld, J . F. Hin-son, Moderator, and R. H. Burnett, Clerk.

The following messengers were then enrolled, viz.:

Macedonia—W. M. Pearce. ML Lebanon—Joseph Canfield, J. V.

meeting not being present, on motion, the subjects assigned them were taken in their order:

1. The parables of the Savior, contin-ued, and Eld. J . F. Hinson to write.

2. The duties of Christians to their children. W. F. Wells to write.

3. The best means to keep np a Sun-day-schooL W. II. Green to write.

4. Eld. J . Fuller asked tbe views of the brethren on the language of the Savior, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." After some in-terchange of views, on motion, further discussion was deferred until the next meeting.

5. Appointed the next meeting of this body with the Macedonia Church, on Saturday before the 5th Lord's day in October next; Eld, W. E. Paxton to preach the introductory, at 11 o'clock A. IL.

6. The Secretary was instructed to for-ward a copy of these proceedings to T H £ BAPTIST for publication.

7. The minutes were read and ap-proved, when the meeting adjourned to the time and place appointed.

I told him about the new argument against immersion, which he enjoyed hugely, ^ e tale goes that a Methodist preacher riddled the Baptists ia a sermon from the following text: " Beware of ^vers and strange doctrines."

But the strangest part of my story is yet to be told. Returning home late at night from Clarendon, I found that a young man had taken up his abode in my house withoat ceremony. Mrs. Espy had called in some of the neighbors to consult about the matter, but no rash measures had been undertaken with him np to the time of my return, and finding that he had ingratiated himself into the favor of my " better-half," I saw it would be nec-essary to accept the situation with the best grace possible. But the young man is xeithout a name, or, if he has any, be will not or cannot divulge it, and, for the sake of convenience, we have concluded to call him Graves. What do the initials J, R. iu your name stand for, Bro. Ed-itor?

[James Robinson. He did not mean any harm by calling in yonr absence— treat him kindly.—^ED.]

The debate at Austin will ceriahily take place. Mr. Northnm recently demanded of Bro. Coleman that be must get tbe indorsement of his church—a very un-reasonable demand, I think; but the church unanimously indorsed Bro. Cole-man, when the matter was laid before them. Monday after the fourth Lord's day in this month the discussion will begin.

Lectures by the following bre thr^ will be delivered:.

Eld. J . R Graves: Lecture 1. Worship,

{Introdmetory to the eovrte.) " 2. The Church Defined. " 3. Its Character and Organiza-

tion. " 4, Its Powers.

5. Its Continuity and Perpe-tuitv.

Eld, T. C. Tewdale: Lecture 1. Ministerial Qualifications.

2. Preparation of Sermons. 3. The Best Means to Promote

and Conduct Revivals. Rev. K T. Espy, on subject of his own

choosing Rev. K L. Compere, on subject of his

own choosing. W. D. Mayfield, on subject of his own

choosing. The first two will deliver not less than

three lectures; the last three only one each. After each lecture a short time will be spent in the free and general dis-cussion of the positions taken by the di t ferent speakers.

Should one of the Professors from Greenville come, he will be expected to lecture on New Testament interpretation. Let there be a grand turnout of the Bap-tists in the State. Cannot every chnrch in the State send a delegate? Remem-ber Thursday before the second Sabbath in November. Will not every minister be on hand ? Let us call upon God to help and bless us.

MZRCH IX IITTLE. T. B. ESPY.

Bro. Mayfield, of Helena, has been preaching for us about a week. The ser-mons were good, so was the attention of the small congregations, but no present visible results. Robinson's show passed along, and seemed to be more popular than our exercises at the church. We could get but fifty or sixty—they about three thousand.

Spent three days with Bro. Mayfield at Clarendon, on White river, forty miles below Devall's Blufl^ last week. We were invited by the little Baptist Church to assist in the ordination of Bro. S. M. Provence, late of Richmond College, Va, The ordination exercises took place on Sunday morning last, in the presence of the congregation. His examination was entirely satisfactory; and I will venture the opinion that the good people of Clarendon know something about what is implied in becoming a Baptist preachcr. Bro. Provence is a young man of polish, has a splendid wife, who will prove a helpmeet indeed, and, believing that his heart is in the right place, I doubt not tliat he will make his mark in a few years if the Lord spares him.

Tbe chnrch at Clarendon is looking up. They have a-few brethren that have a mind to work for the Lord, and when they get a house of worship of their own, which they talk of beginning very soon, they will be on a footing with any other denomination in the place. If they will rally around their young pastor as I be-lieve they will, there is a future for their little organization.

I received one impression lately which I will put down for the benefit of any who may be concerned. I t is this: in certain places in the Old Dominion it is necessary for a man to be orthodox on the question of Campbellite and Pedo-baptist immersions b^ore he can be set apart to the work of the gospel This is certainly a sign of progression. What shall we expect next in the re^ons from whence the light proceeds? P o a ^ l y they will reqnire devotions at the shrine of anti-landma^isin.

Southern Arkans-is, as to the time of holding their annui! .;i ?ciing8: That the Missionary Baptist Association meet on Saturday before the fourth Sunday in July, in every year; Cadron, Saturday before the first Sunday in August; Caro-line, Saturday before the second Sunday in August; Mt. Vernon, Saturday before the third Sunday in August; Pine Blnfi^ Saturday before the first Sunday in Sep-tember ; Saline, Saturday before the second Sunday in September; Judson, Saturday before the third Sunday in Sep-tember; Bartholomew, Saturday before the iourth Sunday in September; Lib-erty, Saturday before the first Sunday in October; Columbia, Saturday before the second Sunday in October; Red River, Saturday before the third Sunday in Oc-tober, and the Arkansas Baptist State Convention, Thursday before the second Sunday in November,

I hope you will receive and adopt the above soggestion, Ist. Because there are brethren of experience in the minis-try, and able in the doctrine of the New Testament, who would be pleased to meet us in our Associations, and we would be delighted for them to do so; but as sev-eral of our Associations come off at the same time, they cannot possibly attend more than two or three of them, and, in the next place, our Convention is now engaged in a good and noble work— in the education of our young ministers; and, in the second place, the Minister^ Institute will call together a large number of ministers, not only from our own State, but the adjoining ones, to hear the lec-tures on' theology from brethren of ac-knowledged ability.

There is another reason for asking yon to adopt the order as to the time of hold-ing our Associations, It will enable the agents of the Convention to visit all those Associations before the meeting of the Convention, and thereby accomplish their work in much less time, and become personally acquainted with all our breth-ren in the ministry. «

Now, brethren, what if yonr Associ-ation has met on a certain time for three years ? Let us make a little sacrifice, if need be, and adopt the proposed times of holding these Associations, and may God bless yon.

ABKAXSAS CONVENTIOX. W. M. LBA.

B E O . G E A V E S :—I would remind those brethren who have so kindly agreed to act as agents for us in the various coc-gregations, to collect the subscriptions I have left with them for the education of the young ministers of our State, by the meeting of our Sute Convention, Thurs-day before the second Sunday in Novem-ber next, at Arkadelphia, and sends or bring the amounts to the Convention, now suggest that every chnrch sends one or more d e l a t e s to the Convention, and five or ten dollars to aid in the work, and if no brother can be induced to come, send yonr contributions by mail, ad-dressed to me, as agent, Arkadelphia, Arkansas.

There are several young ministers who have already applied to me for help. They are ready to go; the money is wanting; only a few will be able to go on thia month. ISie dmrches approve a ^ recommend their ypnng ministers to the Board of tlie Convention at Helena, A i ^ and they wiU e i ^ d help ai fitr as themoDeyiriUalkir.

BEO, GEAVES:—Inclosed please find the names of a Committee of Arrange-ments appointed by our church to receive and assign homes to delegates and others visiting the Association when convened with us on Saturday before the first Sab-l)ath in October proximo. Ample ar-rangements will be made for all, and we most cordially invite the friends to meet with us,

D jlegates and others arriving at Bart-ett, by cars or otherwise, will find some

member of the committee about the depot, to whom they will please report them-selves :

The Committee will endeavor to make an arrangement with the Superintendent of the M. L. R. R. for an extra train to run to this point from Memphis, so that the friends from there can return home each day, if they wish.

he would then preach from this text: Add to your faith virtue, etc. Hesud virtue signified courage, but some of the Baptisto were such couxtrds that they were a/raid of the truth. He said if he had had such men with him when he was captain of artillery in Norfolk, in 1814, he would have cbwnmed them out of camp. '

Bishop Meade, churches and families, of Virginia, say Baptist meeting-houses crowded to hear Pedobaptists in 1830, would have had empty seats in 1810.

At one of these union meetings in 1851 the Baptists received ten and the Pedo-baptists nearly all the balance of one hundred that joined. About 1 S4e a Bap-tist minister sent for a Pedobaptist to help him. Of the' twenty converts the Baptist got one. Another minister and myself had a protracted meeting, ignoring mungrelism. The result was that we re-ceived not only the Baptist converts but some from Pedobaptist familiei^ If I sow all kinds of seed from my pulpit I shall have a mongrel harvesL

Second eviL Sometimes a bitter spirit IS manifested in oppo»og afSHation. While./?m», we ought, like Paul, to speak the truth in love. People ein by mani-festing a bitter spirit.

The third evil is covetonsness. People think they are blessed to make them happy—a great mistake, God blesses them that they bless others^ and that his sa^dng health may be known among aU nations. (Psalms IxviL 2.)

David served not his family, not his neighborhood, but his own generation by the will of God. (Acts xiiL 3G.) Christ says: " Ye are the light of the teorld." Covetonsness is a barrier to the Lord's table (1 Cor. v.), to the •rdination of ministers and deacons (1 Tim. ill), and to heaven (1 Cor. vL).

THBEE EVILS. E. D0DSO3I.

There are three evils. 1. Pulpit affil-iation. 2. The wrong spirit of opposing it. 3. Covetonsness.

In 1832, the year I was baptized, my pastor preached agiunst pulpit affiliation. He never lost any ot hii sheep when he had revivals; he never lost his converts, and never built any union churches. He had no Pedobaptist meeting-houses around; if he did, they would be sure to decline. He was very popular with the Pedobaptists. Indeed, ene of the most prominent Pedobaptists in the county, on his dying bed, requested that my pas-tor should preach his funeral He did so. They began in some places to build Baptist churches en the loose principle that other denominations should use them when not used by the Baptists. He said he would not subscribe six aud a quarter cents for such houses.

In 1833 two great Antimissionary preachers strenuously argued that heresy was as bad as immorality. They were James Osborn and Wm. Davis. They could prove what they said, for Paul classified heresies with drnnkenness and murder. (Gal. v. 20.) Pulpit affiliation lost thousands of the Antimissionaries. We made a bad bargain when we ex-changed them for Pedobaptists.

In 1836, 1837, etc., the Bible Society appointed Eld. John Goodall, an orator of the first order, and educated at Wil-liam and Mary College, to collect funds in Virginia. Publicly and privately, and everywhere, he denounced pulpit affilia-tion over the whole State. He sud every time Baptists invited Pedobaptists into their pulpits they gave them a dab to beat them. He said they did beat them, and he was glad of it, and hoped they would beat them well, till they beat some sense into them. One would say Christ sud forbid them not. He would say tee don't forbid them. Bat, Bro. Goodall, let us have charity. He would J«ply, ** charity rejoiceth in the truth." Bro. Goodall, it will do good. He would say, '^let ns do evil that good may come." Some prominent men would sometimes take him oat and say many Pedobaptists were present, and he must Qot preach so plunly. Goodall had been a lawyer. With an eagle's eye he would look at them and say, came to preach the truth.^ What would you think if your nuUmal wibieMin a greatlawnut wonld only speak a the t ra th t Porihapa

There were thirty-seven students pres-ent at the opening exercises of the twelfth session of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Others have gone in since, and sever^ are on their way.

The introductory lecture was deliv-ered by Dr. Boyce, upon "The value of a complete and accurate knowledge of the doctrines of grace to a minister." It is hoped that this address will be pub-lished, according to the expressed desire of the students who heard i t

It will be gratifying to the many friends of the Seminary to know that a pious lady of Yirginia, lately deceased, lefl it a legacy of ten thousand dollars. Can it not be truly sud, though dead, she will yet publish' the good news to thouswds?

Brethren who expect to atteni the Seminary the present session, will do well to get there as soon as possible. A few days' delay now will raise serious diffi-culties and cause them to labor under disadvantageous circumstances many days. H. F. SPEOLES.

XEXPHIS, SEPTEMBER S4, 1870.

POPERT A3SJ> POLITICS. In the luder of last wedc we copied

the conTictions of " a devx>at Cstholic and practical Btatesman"* as to what would he the inevitable result, in this coontry, of the doctriae of lo&Ilibility, shoold it be proclaimed by the Coancil— "trouUe, diiorder, war, and, wont of off toara, rdtffioua tear."

The doctrine has been proclaimed, and apoD its prodamation, the old church was diiffiolved and passed away, and the new Catholic Gbnrch sprang, fall-grown and armed, into its place, as Minerva is said to bare sprang from the head of Jupiter. The Catholic Church of ihe nineteenth eentnry is not the chorch of the Ksteenth—that was a H i e b a b c h t ;

t M s a T u s o c b a c t .

The object of this change is to recover the lost prestige and power of the chorch over the nations by a vast augmentation of the Papal power, and by a centraliza-tion nf all ecclesiastical power in one nan—the " head of the church and, in effifct, to place, not only the supreme power, but the entire property of the church under his con^I , as the property of all the Jesuit orders is in the hands of the General of the Sodety of Jesns.

The Pope now has an army of one hundred and eighty n ^ o n s of followers, officered by more than one thousand bishops, and half a millon of priests, and untold mOlions of church property, now, and not until now, at his sole command. It matters little where his "See " may be located; whether at Rome, Malta, New York, or Jerusalem; with this immense and thoroughly drilled army, and skillful generals and officers, he can wield a fear-ful infioence in any nation. In kingly goremmenta he will operate through eormpt courts, cabinets and council)!; In a repabBo, like ours, through the b il-

. lot-box and corrupt poCfidans. The new Romii^ campugn in America

is already projected. We have seen the plan, frem the pen of one of its most pow^ul generals, iHio is intrusted \rith its execution here.

The CathoUe Worlds for July, lies before us. It is edited by Father Heck-er—the most influential lecturer in the ranks of the American church. He is most fully indorsed. His quar-terly is issued liy " The Catholic Pub-fication House," in New York. The editor has just returned from the Cound in Bome, with power, conferred upon Km by the infiUible Pope, to grant in-dulgences for ana, past or prospective. It is such a man who speaks through these papery and opens the July numW with an article headed " T H E CLIHOUC O F t u b XIX C E S n r K T . "

l a his (^n ing paragraphs he asserts the perfection of the Catholic, the per-fection of the Catholic religion and the absolute perfection of the Catholic Church, with reference to time as well as eternity. As it is our purpose in this article to give our readers, who dream of so danger, im innght into the designs of the Catholic powers with reference to this country, we shall place some of the Inding paragraphs of the article before their eyes.f

Of the perfection ofthechnrch, he says: •The assertion of the absolute perfec-

tion of the Catholic reli^on, with refer-ence to time as well as eternity, is made with predsely the same sunificance with which we assert the pertection of God.

' f t is made amply and boldly, without hesitation, quaCncation, or reser^-e, and h win be the basis of our argument, and the starting-plaee for the views and opin-•ons we propoee to put forth. It is in-tended for Catholic eyesw"

This whole article was written with the avowed purpoae to acquaint the en-tire priesthood of the country with the plan of operation, and to instruct the whole Catholic population as to the work expected of them. With this in view, he says:

" P I m ^ ourselves distinctly upon the proportion, we invite attention to cer-tain relations which the Catholic of to-day holds toward his race, his country, hia j ^ e , and the particular order and emiaition denominated progress, and the

of the nineteenth century. *U tte rate hu set rad Uat .rtiele, »e

"It becomes necessary, under these as-pects, to consider him as a dutiful subject of the head of the . church, and a loyal dtizen of au independent State; as freenum, and one Iraund bv supreme au-thority ; as recognizing and obeying son, and^ in the free exercise of that royal faculty of the sou!, mtrrendering certain prerogatives of prieate judgment to infalltbility; as subject and at the same lime sovereign, Iwth obe^ng anc commanding; submissive to the laws and ACKNOWLEDGING THE SUPREM-ACY OF A HIGHER LAW, WHICH HE IS PREPARED TO VINDICATE WITH PROPERTY, LIBERTY AND LIFE, I F THE TWO COME IN CON-FLICT UPON ANY VITAL J O I N T IN WHICH HE OR THE CHURCH IS CONCERNED, IN THE NINE-TEENTH CENTURY, PRECISELY AS HE DID IN THE FIRST, THE SECOND, OR THE THIRD CEN-TURY."

There is no misunderstanding the above. The American Catholic is taught that he owes supreme submission to the Inf^Iible-Pope, and that it is his religious duty to vindicate that law with his " property, liberty and l ^e" itself.

"The most obvious, interesting, and im-IMrtantiriew of the Catholic in his rela-tions to the century is that of voter.

"It permits every Catholic to share ac-tively in the plans, policy and beneficent ente^rises of the church, and enables him in some sense to take part in the Divine government of the nmverse, phys-ical and moral

"It ia a sorafic and precious gift be-stowed on Catholics in this age and conn-try, and we are compelled to stand in the full blaze of the light of the nineteenth century, which is rolling out its illum-inated scroll before our dazzled eyes and almost bewildere<] understandings, charged with the manifold blessings or curses which must flow from the use or abuse of this momentous, one might al-most say holy and hierarchical function.

"An offer and promise are as distinctly made to the Catholics of this age as they were to the chosen people When released from the Egyptian bondage. A LAND OF PROfflSE, A LAND FLOWING WITH MILK AND HONEY, IS SPREAD OUT BEFORE THEM, AND OFFERED FOR THEIR ACCEPT-ANCE. . "The means placed at their disposal for

securing this rich possession are not the sword, of wars of extermination waged against the enemies of their religion, out instead, THE MILD AND PEACEFUL INFLUENCE OF THE BALLOT. D I R E C T E D BY I N S T R U C T E D CATHOLIC CONSCIENCE AND EN-LIGHTENED CATHOLIC INTELLI-GENCE."

It is by the baUot, then, that this "land of promise—a land flowing with milk and honey"—is to be Romanized, and this Romish Theocracy established in it, to dictate both law and religion to its population. Would that our readere could see and ponder every sentence of this new revelation of the new Theo-cratic Church. We can add this week but a few more touching the power of the ballot in Catholic hands:

"It is a question oflnstant and pressing Importance, which demand an imm? diate and definite answer. It must be met and answered by the Catholic of to-^y,_ since to him are committed the oblig^on and business of perpetuating and xegenetating society, purifying legis-lation, enforcing the administration of the laws, and setting an example of pri-vate and public virtue, justice, modera-tion and forbearance. He has been fur-nished with an omnimtent weapon with which to accomplish tnis great wor^ ant he is provided with an unerring guide

the Pope 1 to direct him in the admin istration of^these important trusts. We do not hesitate to affirm that in perform-ing our duties as dtizens, electors and public officers, we should always and under all circumstances act simply as CathoUcs.

"With the means of instant intelligent communication and rapid transporution, it is not an impo^bmty to hope that the head of the church may a&^in be-come the acknowled^d head of the re-united family of Christian nations; the arbiter and judge between princes and peoples; between. government and gov-ernment ; the exponent of the supreme justice and highest law, in all important questions effecting the rights, the interesU, and the vielfare of communities and in-dividuals.

"Since justice and our honor and di<»-nitv require that we should obey Go§, and not man, we are compelled by every reasonable motive to ascertain his will. He does not communicate personally and orally with creatures.

"Unless we have the means of ascer-taining with ceitamtywhat his wishes are on a given subject, whether of the pnvate practice of virtue, or the admin-istration of a pubUc duty, we are left to the direction of opinions, interests and passions more or less superficially in-structed and enlightened, and tend inev-tabl ' '

medium and chan-nd through which the will of God is ex-pressed. The chain of communication imposed of the triple strand of revela-faon, ms^ration and fiuth, stretches un-derneath the billows of eternity to the shore of time, from the throne of God to toe chair of Peter.

realizing in the highest degree, the prom ise mad&.to the human race if faithful to the object of their creation, still we do not hesitate to assert that it is within the power of the ballot, wielded by Catholic himds, and directed by Catholic con-science, to accomplish as much and more.

"It is no more than the church has a right to expect from her subjects; itia no more than they owe her and themselves; It would be a triumph worthy of Jhe nineteenth century, and worthy of a fallen race deemed wortlnr to be re-deemed by the blood of a God."

All can see that the Catholic Church n America is from this day a vast and

thoroughly organized POLmCAL P A B T Y ,

more than a church; and in this light it should be considered and treated. Its openly avowed object is to make an Ital-ian priest the civil and religions ruler of these United States, and his throne may be in New York or St. Louis.

To-day the avowed aim of the Jesuit order is the concentration of the voting forces of . the great cities, so as to form the Catholic millions into a compact unity, capable of acting together promptly in answer to any telegraphic signal from the infallible head-center at the court of Rome, which Jesuitism now rules. This is a stupendous scheme, and the raising of the doctrine of Papal in-fallibility into a dogma will re-inforce it, furnishing it with new appliances and methods of appeal. A telegram from Rome at election time may pass over the continent and make a sensation, bringing new elements into effective play. Over the broad ballot-field there will be many a Napoleonic converging of forces upon a given point, for attack or defense. The Jesuit order has not done much to orig-inate scientific inventions, but it believes in the capacity of the court of Rome to " utilize sdence," and believes in its qual-ification to guide the voting force of this country.

The vast resources of bishops, priests, sisters of charity and Jesuits are to be mainly employed for coming years in the subjugation of our country. Before the next Presidential election they will, if they have not already, select the politi-cal party through which to operate, and bribe by the tempting offer of three mil ions of Catholic votes. This vote wi be cast solid at the next general election and will constitute the " balance of power," which political party will bi( highest for it in representatives and sen-ators, in fat offices and in appropriations of public money to the Catholic Church. See what the late legislature of New York did, and what is the prite p^d for Catholic votes! Onr national birthright is about to be sold to the Italian Snp-planter.

Next week we will notice some of the immediate changcs they propose to effect by the Catholic ballot.

themselves a shelter and a home. It may have been a cave by sonie shelterec hillside, the front of which they arbored with the branches broken from the neigh-boring trees, over which they tramed the fragrant, ever-blooming honeysuckle and the luxuriant vine, whose luscious clus-ters would afford them food and wine. Thb was man's first home. Here sons and daughters were bom unto them joyous family, who cheer their solitude, assist in the labors of the day, and crown its closing hours with their innocent mirth and hearty enjoyments.

I t is not assuming too much to say that doubtless the "Angel of the Cove-nant," after driving them from the gar-den, explained to them fully all that was implied in the Promised Seed, and the great work of redemption which he had undertaken, and that redemption was alono to be obtained through his suffer-ings and death—the just for the unjust, the innocent for the guilty—and which would be accomplished in the fullness of the times, in the midst of the ages; and that, meantime, the innocent lamb, the unspotted firstling of the flock, should be unto them a type and promise of the Divine Lamb of God, without the shed-ding of whose blood there could be no remission. And as their nakedness and shame were covered, and their bodies protected from the now piercing cold of winter and the ^scorching heats of sum-mer, by the skins of their sin-offerings, so clad in the robe of his perfect righteousness, they could appear without shame before the Father, and be shielded from the fierce terrors of the broken law.

We say we believe this, because we find the fallen family, immediately afler the fall, offering a sin-offering unto God; and no one but God could have appoint-ed offerings for sin. Nor can we think that he appointed a sin-offering without teaching the worshipers its design and significancy, and that it was not through the performance of the type, but by personal and cordial faith in the substance—the great Archetype—they

TCE8DAT, AHIIO MriCDI 100. [1UESDAY MORNING of the world's great week, saw onr first parents

around a rude altar, on which lay the reeking body of a fresh slain lamb, whose warm blood flowed in crimson streams and bathed the rough, unhewn altar stones. Adam, c l o t h ^ in the skin of the sacrifice, sUnds, with uplifted eyes, and hands outstretched to heaven, hum-bly and meekly invoking that mercy and salvation which he had so justly forfeited by willful transgression—mercy and for-pveness alone through the grace prom-

iied in the Coming Sacrifice, of which the sin-offering before him was but the type or representation. Onr guilty mother, crushed with a sense of her guilt and shame, and humbled into the very dust, >ow8 at the fbot of the altar and bathes

it with her penitential tears, imploring absolution from her great sm, that she now sees must involve the condng race in everlasting woe, and the f ^ worid in ruin. Their penitence and faith, sincere and unaffected, are a(»epted, and fire de-scends frx>m heaven, consumes the sacri-fice, and licks up theblood with its flam-ing tongues.

The foigiven and redeemed pair, full unwonted ^ a c e and Holy joy, exceed-even that they felt in '^iO'B how&a

when ^^^ af forfh to provide for

were to find grace and salvation. But the peaceful family were not long

to be left in the undisturbed enjoyment of their united and harmonious worship. Cain and Abel stood before their respect-ive altars—for each male member of the family in this dispensation was a priest— but no bleeding lamb lay upon Cain's. Satan, transformed into an Angel Reason, had stirred the latent depravity ofhisheart,andexdtedittoanactofrebel -ion against God. We can imagine that he reasoned thus: " W h y should I, the eldest born of the family, with whom the excellency, the headship, resort to my brother to obtain, by purchase, lamb of his flock for a sacrifice ? Why is not the produce of my fields as goo( as the firstlings of Abel's flock for an offering unto God ? Is he a respecter of persons? Why should not an epha ol flour or a sheaf of wheat be as aceepta-ble to the Maker as a slun beast ? "

Upon Cun's altar there lay that mom-iag a sheaf of wheat instead of the bloody sacrifice, and before it he stood haughty and sullen, waiting for the an-swer by fire. He saw the heavenly light descend upon his brother's sacrifice, the smoke of which ascended like a temple spire until it seemed to pierce the very sky; while a sudden blast, as of a whir wind, overthrew his alter and scattered the rival sacrifice upon its wings into the wilderness, until not a straw was to be found, "And Cain was wroth and his countenance fell," when he saw Abel's sacrifice accepted and his rejected, and from that moment tfee dark and evil pas-sions of his soul were kindled agsunst his innocent brother. First envy, which begot hatred, which b ^ o t opposition which ripened into persecution, anc ended in murder. The act of Cain is spoken of by Jude as "The way Cwn." He was the first man who insti-tuted a human and false religion. He corrupted and perverted the true into the human and false, by substituting something of his own in place of what pod had appointed and commanded, and n his case only one thing. Bnt one change was enough to corrupt the pure worship and render it unacceptable and impious. The act was one of open re-bellion against God, and his worship was in opposition to that appointed by Heaven. The way of his own heart—the convictions of his natural consdence seemed right nnto him, bnt the end thereof was death—^the murder of his brother and the eternal ruin of his own souL Here we see the origin of all hu-man religions—the opposition of the un-renewed heart to the law of GTOD; and we also see the inseparable characteris-tics of them aD. They each and every one began by substituting the traditions and ways of men for the commandments of God or of Chrilst, and thus made the law and the gbspd of non-effect^ and all such wor^pi u Vain, insulting, and im->ion8 in tlie i ^ h t of Jesus.

animates and characterizes ali of them— the spirit of their founder. They are full of envy, hatred and oppontion to that which is good; and, from the days of Cain until now, it has persecuted, and, whenever it has had the power, has murdered the true followers of God and of Christ In the hands of the human and false religions of earth is to be found all the righteous blood that has been shed from the days of AbeL This is clearly indicated by the Word of God: "But as then he that was bom after the flesh persecuted him that was bora after the Spirit, even so it is now." The chil-dren of God are not murderous; the Church of Christ never persecuted— never shed blood.

The family and descendants of Cain followed him jn his " way," and became corropters of the troe worship of God, and were called the sons of men, as the ungodly stUl are. Those of Adam's family, who preserved the true religion, " called themselves by the name of the Lord" [flee marginal reading]-that is, the sons of God; and this, in various parts of the Scriptures, is the distin-guishing appellation of righteous per-sons. The separation occasioned by the jrofession of different religions continued or over nine hundred and twenty years!

There was no afliliation, no religious associations, nor even any intermarrying ^tween the troe and the false worshipers.

But the sun, having reached the merid-ian of its brightness, commences to go down. We have the history of the cor-roption and decline of the pure worship of God in a few brief but expressive lines. " The sons of God saw the daugh-ters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose." (Gen. vi. 2.) The mfe, if she did not convert the husband to her hu-man and false worship, her Influence made him very «liberal " toward it; for he must needs treat with "Christian" regard her parents and relatives—not as

idolaters, as they really were, but as religious, and, in some sort, as the worship-ing God—and her children, she took care to bring up in her own false faith, so that very soon affiliation and religions association became popular, and then common, and the sons of God could officiate at the altars of Cain, and the idolatrous Calnites were permitted to lay their bloodless sacrifices on the altars of the sons of God, and all bowed and wor-shiped indiscriminately at each other's altars; and the result was, the true re-ligion became universally corrupted on the whole face of the earth, and " the wick-edness of man became great in the earth." Tuesday's sun went down in darkness and desolation. Only a " few " —Noah and his family—were saved from the waters of that awful deluge which God brought upon the earth. Duriag a night the sullen waters of the deluge rested upon a world that sin had again mined.

3. Whose churches prosper and build up faster, those whose pastors " declare" the whole counsel of God, or those )reached to by pastors who seldom, if

ever, pronounce a distinctive Baptist sentiment, and never preach a sermon on controverted subjects ?

An illustration: Bro. Hillsman held a union meeting in the Baptists' house at Trenton for weeks. Pedobaptists re-ceived sixty accessions, and Baptists nine. Bro. Sparkman held a meeting in the midst of an overwhelming Pedobap tist community, and where there was b^ fore scarce any Baptist influence, with their ministers present in the meeting, bnt not invited to offidate, and received one hundred and sixty-one, thirty-five of whom were Methodists and Catholics— one a class-leader, and two the sons of : If ethodist ministers.

Admit them to be "Christian," or "evangelical," or "gospel diurches terms meaning the same thing, i t a^ t organization Christ founded on 'eaith during his ministry—and no one can de-fend the practice of dose communion, or a refusal on the part of Baptist Churches to recdve their members npon their bap-tism, however performed.

The justification for intercommunion and reception of their inembers would rest upon the same ground that justifies the members of one Baptist church when invited to commune with another, or one Baptist church to receive the membere of another on thdr letters of commenda-tion. The following statements are axi-omatic with all Baptists:

1. Pedobaptist and Campbellite sode-ties are not of Christ, bnt of man, set up by man in opposition to the church of-Christ, and therefore are not Christian churches, but human and antichristian oi^anizations.

2. No organizations but scriptural churches have the right to administer the ordinances, etc., of the church of Christ How, then, can Baptists invite to thdr table Catholics, Protestants and Camp-bellites, seeing they are not members of Christ's kingdom? They might as well invito Masons, Odd-Fellows or Good Templars. How could Baptists go to their tables to commune, when they have not the ordinance? Their supper is not " the Lord's supper," but a vain show of i t Can a temperance sodety, though composed of trae Christians, cdebrate the Lord's supper? Nay, verily.

With the views already presented, I am prepared to say,

Tliat there is no good in the objection-able features of our missionary organiza-tions.

The exclusion of Baptist churches, to my mind, is not only objectionable, but an insult to Jesus. He established them to accomplish his wiU on earth, and no system can be acceptable to him which underrates or ignores them, and as we have seen, they are, defaxto, the basis of our operations, while our misrionary bodies oi^ganic^y insult them. This is a ciTing evil which cannot be justified by Seriptiaref reason or common sense.

Ndther can I see any good in the monqfdasw, so dearto soma The lovers of Jesus would hardly seek representa-tion in a body whose avowed purposes are to raise and disburse money for the ^Hread of, the gospel, unless they had fiKrtdeeidcdtogive,a^hdp, and pray foi t j i l b b j ^ ^ is my ovBJfinKmBvielumjt i^l f tw^ '

HOW TTB UXX UlflTK. Let our State organizations admit mes-

^eagen from Associations yrbMi cont^ butefiff misfflonvy pnrpo8e8,and also one meflsengerfromanychnrchnoi repregenUd through ailyAssociation,andlettheSouth-em Baptist Convention adnut messengers from such State organizalaons, and alro niesgengers from any Association, and one from any church not represented through said State organizations, and by no possible means admit any society^ for any cormdaration, vrhich does not have a Ba^i^ church as the Jasis of its existence. Tlus, to my mind, insures a pure organiza-tion, as neariy as human wisdom can do IL This appears as follows: Every Baptist church holds, fundamentally, to the theory of a converted membership. They send mefflengers to Associations-converted men and working men- The Associations in turn send picked men out of a body of picked men to the Stote Conventions, and they in turn pick a g ^ and send to Southern Baptist Convention, so that by no possible scrutiny can we find the objection which obtiuns regarding present organizations. Tlus subject de-serves the prayerful reconai^ration, which the writer asks, who enters his solemn protest agmnst ignoring the churches of Jesus Christ organically. In my judgment, that man lives not who can prsent an unanswerable argument in &vor of present organic laws.

As to the introduction of difficult ecclesiastical questions, there is nothing eaaer to avoid, simply by constitutional provifflon precluding the consideration of such questions in operative missionary bofies. These suggestions, if accepted, will accomplish a life-long desire of the unworthy writer, and others, whose name u l6gion,toseethe charches of Jesos Christ honored In missonary organizations, and to see the constitutions of these bodies purged of down-right objections, which neither Scripture, reason nor common sense sustains. T^th such purification, I opine, a hearty union would result, and men and money would pour in, to greatly augment the force applied for preaching the gospel to every creature.

Incidentally, I may mention that I am heartay in favor of a suggestion which has b ^ n seriously presented. Tfa&t is, that one missionary Board is altogether suffident for the South. I t would reduce maehmenj^ and lessen expenses, and in-t e n d the idea that the "field is the worid."

I am aware that imaginary objections may be raised to these honest, earnest ^ntggestions, but none, I apprehend, which may not be fully answer^

TKITAH BAJPTISTSf LOOK OUT! ELDKH J . E . 6»A.VB3 :—Dear Brother

Some months since J'ohn P. Chenoweth f«7na into our midst, representing himself aa a Baptist preacher, and we being very destitute of preachers, employed him, and before one month passed by he showed great want of piety. He seemed to have a deep animosity against you—so much so that he denounced you as a ne-gro in mask, and s£ud Graves was not your same, etc., etc. I was of the opin-ion you had on some former occasion ex-p o s ^ his incon6iBienci»i..aod we, as a church, told him plunly we could toler-ate him no longer; ^ e left here and went to Texas, and threatened to bring suit agsbst several of us for def^ smation of character. If you know anything of his antecedents, please let me know about him fully. We are not at all alanned about anything he can do, but it might be for the benefit of the cause to ventilate him fully. From all I can leam, I have no doubt but he (Che-noweth) is a very bad man.

We are a littie handful here, surround-ed by Pedoe8,bnt we can, with the u d of THI BAPTIST, put them to flight. We do not recognize Pedo and Campbellite baptisms.

Pray for us, and let me hear from you in r e g ^ to ibe above.

Your brother. Joint C. FABMZB. Piarrme, Mo, July 18, 1870. RmfABKB.—We never knew such a

diaracter. He is base metal, without question. Ko Christian, or gentieman,

honest man would make such asser-tiona. We warn Texas Baptists to be-_ wire of him. The drifbwood of the older States sets towards Texas, and they should be careful whom they receive as Batista, and espedally as ministers.

The Ix>rd is still with us. On last Saturday, the 6 th of August, we had a prayer-meeting at onr church (Bayou de Glaise), and the Lord gave us the daugh-ter of our faithful deacon, Bro. B. W. Blakewood, an amiable young lady, for whom many earnest prayers have been ofiTered. She was baptized on Sabbath morning, and we could bat think how wonderfully God has blessed his indefat-igable servant. As the Lord has recent-ly given us more workmen, we felt it onr privilege to extend oar operations, and this is our plan: to spend the second Sabbath evening in each month in prayer for onr Sunday-school, and the third in a young men's prayer-meeting; the fourth is occupied with my ccAored people. On the fourth Sabbath in this month we will commence a meeting of days. Hope to have something good to reporL

the Baptists about Minden. I hear that he absolutely "cursed" in the pulpit. This oomes from a Methodist preacher, who heard it. I leam that, in mating an allnsoD to the TJniversalists, he asked "if there was an * innffnifieant Universalist * ther^?" Added to his o ^ r rins, his statements in regard to the organization of thie first Baptist Chun^ ifi America has been denounced by. a dittinffitished (?) ( I say not for what) Methodistpreacher, as "absolutely false.". AnJ,thiOngh last, perhaps not least, it is stat«ii| that he went to the_hoH88 of a refined.||entleman in Minden, and so fiu forgot: j^c propri-eties of life as to siHt tobacco^uice over his parior carpet Now, in all isdnscience, I would ask if such csondnet should not be denounced?

«Scrap" NO, 2. A conceflaoh to Bap-tists worth something. WiflwUie present year, I heard * distingmshed Professor of a University—the son of an Episcopal Bishop, and himself an Episcopalian-say that immersion was undoubtedly the apostolic mode of baptism. When asked why then the Episcopalians did not practice it, lie said it was laziness, he thought.

"Scrap" No. 3. We have had an inter-esting meeting at Mt. Lebanon, resulting in an addition of five, three by experi-ence and baptism, and two by letter.

"Scrap" No. 4. I regret to see our brethren coming up so slowly to fill up the space devoted to the Louisiana de-partment of THE BAPTIST. Let me suggest the names of a few brethren who, I feel sure, will do a good work by contributing to our department: Eld. Thos. Lansdell, Elds. J . H. Tucker, Peter Crawford, G. W. Hartsfield, A. Harris, W. C. Moreland, A. Pnmell, W. J . Led-ford, etc., etc. I find I have got myself into a difficulty, for ex necessitate I must leave out names of brethren that ought to write. Bat let those above named put the ball in motion, and all will be welL

"Scrap" No. 5. I am requested by Bro. C. G. Thurmond, Treasurer of the Board of onr Sunday School Convention, to say to churches that have money in his hands that it is subject to their orders.

SO VTHERN BAPTIST PVBLICA-TIOX SOCIETY.

BED. GRAVES :—I have read your let-ter in TUB BAPTIST, addressed to Dr. P . S. Jones. I must be pemutted to say they fully meet my approbation. We must have in this great Southern country just such a publishing house as the Southwestern Publishing Company, ex clusively under the Baptist control, and devoted exclusively to Baptist work. Let the Baptists take stock, from $50 to :&lt)00, and thus multiply agents and friends by having a great many inter-ested in its success. I am opposed to a few men taking the stock, thos control-ling it. I am willing to invest shares in such a society.

-inrjTTAaiiO€^ This body met with the Heprabah

Church on September 10th and days fol-owiog. For several years since the war

they have aimed to have a mi^onary, but rfmost every time'if was'a" flash in the pan, till'lSffO, when tb'ey very wisely concluded to unite with the W « t Ten-nessee Baptist Convention. They are now doing something for associational missions, but not on»-fiflh what they ought to do. The whole body should take THE BAPTIST, Home and Foreign Journal, and Kind IFortfs. They ought to have sent around papers for subscrib-ers in the association and at the stand, people who will not read will not teork.

The great Jesse Mercer, of Greorgia, on his way to the Triennial Convention, years ago, stopped at a Baptist house to spend the night. He said he did not take travelers, and requested him to go several mi^s to a tavern. The company of such a man was worth more than his expenses. At the West Tennessee Con-vention the company and the sermons of the great ministers will be worth inore than the members will pay.

FOUE BOAKDS. Some young bop , having only one

year for school, conclude they will use the slate altogether. Others conclude to read and write, and study grammar and geography with the slate. The latter are the wisest boys. They will leam the arithmetic as well as the others. The Baptist who concludes to work in all the boards will be sure to do the most f his own board.

IDLENESS. Some ministers work for nothing. This

IS a dreadful mistake. It makes Anti-misuonary churches and creates idlene^ They should require the churches to give according to their ability, even if the preachers give the money away. Idle-ness is a sin. 3Iinisters ought not be partakers of other men's sins.

EABLT PIETY. BEO. GRAVES:—Soon after entering

upon the duties of a minister, my atten-tion was called to the fact that quite a large majority of persons that embraced the Savior, did so in early life, conse-quently I began to take data. I give the following as the probable age of the first two hundred that I baptized: Among the number were TO I supposed to be nnder the age of 16 years; 80 be-tween 16 and 20 years; 24 between 20 and 30 years; 13 between 30 and 40 years; 10 between 40 and 60 years; while there were only 3 over 60 years, and two of them dated their change in early life. Also, my observation proves that those that become religious in early life make more zealous and futhful workers than those who come in at a late hour. More persons that make a profession afler the meridian of life fall away, in proportion to numbers, than young people. These facts should stim-ulate us to labor for the youth of our and. J . M.

IXTEBESTIXG MEETING AT KEACHI.

BBO. GRAVES :—On Saturday, August 13th, we were glad to welcome into the fellowship of the church at Keachi eleven persons by letter from other churches. We determined to continue the meeting, and did so for nine days, having preach-ing morning and night.

Elds. P. Crawford and J . H. Tucker assisted me in preaching. The Lord blessed the truth preached, and by letter the church received thirteen into fellow-ship, and by baptism three. I also bap-tized three colored people. Others are ^ a t l y concerned about their soul's sal-vation.

One very gratifying feature in our meeting, was the unusual interest which most of the membership of the church manifested for the salvation of souls. It IS an easy matter to preach when God's leople are all alive to their duty.

I expect to baptize others next Sab-bath. G. W. HASTSFIELD.

A FEW SCBAPS. With such recorders of facts, and such

delineators of character, to represent the men and things of our Convention at Minden, as the Editor-in-chief of TH« BAPTIST, the late Editorial Contributor for the State, and the excellent Arkansas correspondent, I hardly supposed it would be necessary for me to add even

a scrap " o n the subject; but I have been doomed to disappointment.

While Bro. Graves was delineating our feults, he ahonld not have so entirely ig-nored his own. I confess that, notirith-stuiding I carefully watched, his sayings and doings (for I have heard he was a '*saspicions character**), I did not bear or see the things I am about to relate.

BBO. GBAVES:—^Permit me to speak, through your columns, a word or so in order to tell to your many readers what the Lord has been doing for his vineyard in Vernon county, Mo.

The Minbterial Conference of Ne-vada City Association met with Liberty Church, near Virgil City, on Friday be-fore the third Sunday in July; an in-teresting occasion to some, while the good brethren who believed a perfect unanimity of doctrine prevailed among Baptist ministers, even to the minutia ad infinitum, were mortified nd grieve< at being undeceived, although there was a fraternal spirit and brotherly love man-ifested throughout. Conference close< with the exercises on Saturday.

Eld. J . J . C. Harris preached to large congregation on Sunday, when, to the great surprise of nearly all present, the Lord opened the windows of heaven and poured upon ns a copious shower of his Spirit, which revived the spirits of his children and enabled them to shout his praises. Sinners were awakened, and the penitential tear was seen coursing its way down the cheek of the aged and the young. Many anxiously embraced the opportunity to seek an interest in the shed blood of the blessed Jesus—sought mercy and found pardon. The Jordan was visited on Monday, and Bro. Charles Ingram, the pastor, who is deservedly )opular, much beloved of the brethren,

and having a good report of them with-out, buried seven happy souls in baptism. The meeting continued until the follow-ng Sunday. During all the time it has

never been my privilege to witness such a deep, thorough and general work of grace. Bro. Harris and myself did all the preaching, bnt two sermons delivered by Elds. Roberson and Ingram.

Sunday, at 11 o'clock, the congrega-tion, which had been generally large, was swelled to 1400 or 1500 eager, attentive listeners. At the close of the exercises all repaired to the water, where we found additional hundreds waiting to see what never was witnessed in this county before—33 happy souls rejoicing in a n«M>-found Savior's love, b n r i ^ with Christ in baptism. To God be all the glory. As from Jerusalem on one occa-sion brethren went everywhere preach-mg the Word, so Bro., Harris went to Salphur Springs, where there were 20 additions; Bro. I n g m s to Pleasant Hill, tn Ced» county^ wheM. there was a good work, and near the same number added; myself to Olive Branch, where there were 13 conversions, 8 baptized and 3 by letter, etc. Some are waiting the ordi-nance. He hath done all things well; let us thank him and take courage.

Should ^ ^gjrnmbling fit re turn a t some f a t a r e t ime, i t can be a g u n used with the same cer ta in ty of snccese.

T h e remedy a a d i t s application are boUi expressed in one l i t t le word of foor le t ters—Sere.

T r y i t . I a m not par t icolar as t o wha t you s u g , provided a lways t h a t i t is r ight and good and i a harmony wi th your character^ nor does the nuumer s i g ^ y , so long as it is done hearti ly, and i t may be in t he t reble, alto, teaor, bass, or a n y other clef^ a c c b r ^ n g t o individaal pref-erence.

I f the a t tack is mfld, a few bars in common time, s a n g piano, will nsnally suffice.

I f the symptoms are more d e d d e d and severe, from twen ty t o t h i r t y bare three-four time,/orte and Kvely, should be tr ied promptly, repeated a f te r an interval of five minutes, if necessary; and where the complaint, from long habi t , has be-

confirmed and chronic, I should prescribe not less than t h i r t y bars , two-four time, aUegrtUo a n d / o r f u n m o , on the commencement of every a t tack .

A s the pat ients of this la t te r class sometimes have a g rea t disinclination t o solos, they may t ry duets, or even choruses, with many voices, when oppor tuni ty of-fers.

U n d e r this course of t rea tment , if per-severed in, the symptoms will, t o a cer-ta inty, assume a much milder form; in a very short time a radical cure will be effected, and the once habitual g rumble r become noted for his cheerfulness and urbanity.

A g a i n I say, t r y it . N e x t to a spirit of prayer , cul t ivate habi ts of praise,

l i e power of song for good is much over-ooked among us, and while i t is largely

employed b y the world as an instru-mental i ty for evil. Christians limit i ts use and its influence ve ry much to places of w o n h i p and religious services.

W h e n we have more singing we shall have l e « grumbling, and shall more folly realize t he apostolic injunction, "in psa lms and h y m n s and spiri tual songs, wnging and making melodv in your hear ts t o t h e Lord , "

The 1\W Food Soarc€. SEA MOSS FARINE.—This new and

elegant preparation, made from Irish Mosa, or Carrageen, is conceded to be the c h e a ^ t , healthiest and most delicious Ibod in the world. As a delightful table dessert it has no equal, and is a light and delicate food lor Invalids and chil-dren. I t is superior to all kindred pre-parations.

T I ^ new article of food has every-where won "golden opinions" of all sorts of people, and the housekeepers of the land generally regard it in the double light; of a staple necessary and a delicious l u i ^ , lor while it lessens the expense of liring, the exquisite dishes prepared from it cannot be obtiuned even at an extravagant cost from any other source. For twenty-five ceats you can buy a package which will make dxteen quarts of Blanc Mange, and a like quantity of Puddings, Custards, Creams, Charlotte Rusk , &C.

TheMSpriogand Summer Tonic. Medical treatment has been revoln-

tionized, and at last the discovery has been made that RENOVATION, NOT PROSTRATION, IS THE TRUE MED-ICAL PHILOSOPHY. The introduc-tion of PLANTATION BITTERS, pre-pared with pore St. Croix Rum and Calisaya Bark, opened the eyes of the world to this g i ^ fiujt. The life-sns-tainiiig principle embodied in this great Vegeuble Restorative is manifested in the weak and desponding by an imme-diate and most encouraging change. If the appetite has failed, it is quickened; il ^gettion has been painful and imperfect, it becomes 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 cheerfulness return.
