the beU and the oi;ly really able and spirited Bpeechea
of the Convention. Tho ablest of thoEe, tho most
thoroughly thoughtful, was that delivered by Bro
Winkler, though the reporter did not give uneo much

would have done tho author credit had he oflered it

The Home Mission Board al Marion in still embar-
rassed by debt. Us exact sliius will oe learned from
the reports in this paper. The Committee on Nomi-
nations accepted tho resignation of Bro. Sumner, who
has Ferved tbo Board so long and so faithfully, and
nominated Dr. Basil Manly, President of Georgetown
College, Ky. If he will acr-ent, bo will make a most
excellent officer. Tho many and most kind e.xpres-
sions Bro. Sumner received from his brethren on the
lloor of tho Convontion, as well as in tho report of the
Nominating Board, must havo been truly gratifying
to Bro. S, as thfy wore tohismany friends. Itaoems
that this change was contemplated from the first of
the session, and it was feared that it might lead to
unpleasant results, and the fear brooded like a dark
and storm charged cloud ov'r tho Convention from
the first. It was hcltcvai by some and feared by others
that this change of ofHoerj was but the initial step to
tho execution of the pet scheme of tho Richmond
Heraldi that is, to the shelving of tho Home Mission
Board altcgothor, or turning il over, as the Sunday-
Hihool Board w.os, into the hands of a receiver and
leaving the field open to tho Northern Board. This
18 undoubtedly tho Richmond policy. The Sunday-
Sohool Board was efTeotHally demolished by thisinflu
encft We have it direct, that in one of the meetings
of the committee Dr. WilliabiB.or Baltimore, proposed
to merge the Home Mission into the Foreign Mission
Board at Richmond, and under one Secretary, and
that this was also urged in a letter addressed to tho
.Conveution by Fuller Crane, of Baltimore. I f it is the
design 9f Baltimoro and Richmond to betray the South
into the hands of the Northern Boards and Societies,
Hoathern Baptists should be vwned of it in time.
W « doubt not it U the design of the Herald editors
and that the Baltimore brethren fally aympathlte
with them, but judging from tho report on union pre-
sented by J . Wm. Jones, and the vote taken upon it.
we do not think that Southern Baptists are resdy to
be transferred, unless Bro S. is retained. Lat a new
Sctreiary be immediately appointed, and tbo Homo
Mission Board and the Southern Baptist Convention
bo saved; for if tho Board is killed, aa the Sunday-
>Sohool Board was, there will be no use for a Conven-
tion. The Foreign Mission Boaid could bo merfed
into tho Boston Board without producing a ripple.
Oar Associations and S'ato Conventions would sup-
port their own missionaries in the foreign fields, and
send men who, when upon ihe field, would bo better
qualitied to decide what should be done than any
Secretary or Board in llichraond or Boston could be.
Tbo next Convention will mest in Richmond, and tbo
fate of the Home .M.iis'on Board will be delinitely deciil
ed then and tbi-re. Tho Sunday Echool Board is no more,
the paper le still ownod by tho Home Mmtion Board,
and ia In be run by Bro. lioykin without rxpente lo the
Board. It was proposed by Bro. Branlly, of Bp.Ui-
more, so impniient ho that Kind ll'orJj should bo
issued under tho fostering care of tho Convention,
that the paper ba put up and kco^kod oil'to the high
est bidder' We understood tho Pfaibidelphia .Society
had an agenl thero iUBtructed to bid the requisile
IhousandB lo «ecure it We euppose there is no doubt
of thia, or that a moneyed proposition bad alroady been
made by that .Sociely to tbo Board for tho paper. We

ioua Preea of tho South be altogether forgotten when
Baptiflta give public expreaeion of their recognition of
tho influence to which they owe BO much, if not the

this is tbo right place to begin. Put the religious pa-

Veeterday was a day Kinj to bo rernt'iabiMe.l i»l Big C r«'i"k Church. Ii nn.t my pleasure to be prespnt O ne handsome and elegant new lirick church wac dedicated by Dr. Oraves of " The Iron Wheu! " His l^rmon waa truly clasie, oloquent and full of logic and r«asoning, far surpaising our most eaoguiae cxpecta lions, Uo Was invited for the occasion. I might here CtentioD, thb delivery of hia sermon waa rendered T>iib an apostolic air—hit flnely rounded {lerioda and exuberant fancy enchained anil enraptured all who beard him. Long before the appointed hour the spa-cioua church was Jammed and crowded, not only with those of the Rurrounding neighborhood who usually make up the congregation at the old and popular |)lacB of religious worship, but many from a distance were present Wo wero pleated to see on this ocoas Ion Hoyt, of the Jntdligencer; Murry, of the ConiantntoT,
many otheri trom Anderson Court house. Beltpa waa well represented, not only with the
iracoand beauty that surround that vicinity, but the buslnou men loaned the occasion their prosonoe. Kverjrbody aeomed anxious to bear the gifted orator o; Tennfisee. At precisely 10.-15 A M , Dr. Graves tnt«red the pulpit of the sanctuary, and opened the •ervioe by reading for singing the 932 hymn, and n lec t f id f i r the morning lesson the Cth chapter ol MMnd Chronicles,after which he made a short lecture, Ihen read the dedicatory hymn O H .

In pcreoaal appearance Dr. Graven is about five feet ten ttichCA in height, will weigh about onr hundred •nd sixty pounds, and has a flne face with a well bal-tnced head. Ilia dark and almost black eyes show the true ring of metal, bis One brow and broad forehead five eridenca of a, texture of brain the convolutions •f wiilch will measure perhaps from an inch to an inch •nd a half in depth. Ilia nose is not auch a one OA cx OdTernor Perry saya all great men possess, though it is finely chiseled, aad is such as the late Fowler «nd WelU would paint as belonging to one possessed of pemetntiog thought, indomiteble zeal and energy. Hia mouth is expressive of sublime sentiments, and open the whole his phyBiognomy indicates a reasoner •1 gigantic proportionB.

To this " billing and cooing " to the Campbellites on the part of the Richmond Herald, the New York Examiner and Chronicle administers the following well deserved rebuke;
Nolhine is Impossible with Qod, and for (hiB r<'aB0i) it would be f(>li; to say that the sect known an Disci pies, or Campbellitei, can never be " brought into accord with the Baptista" But wo know of nothing less likely to occur. The faith, the spirit, the aims oi the two denominations are radically diverse, and ai points which wo Baptists could not surrender or mod ifr without doing ourselves fatal injury. Wuh th.' single exception of aereemcnt as to the mode ol ban tism, it would be ditlicult to name a leading evangel ical denomination, loving revivals and miasions, with which Baplists are not in wider "accord " than with the scot known as Disciples or Campbellitea. Wlien iney relinquish, disown and repent of the peculini notions so persistently hammered into th<-m by the Brooke county schismatic, the " accord " will come without much cooing on either side, rn t i l then , may our churches everywhere take beed to tbo lessons ol oistory, and beware of the leaven of Campbellibni.— N. y.

SOL TIll.tiS UAPTTST PVUCATIOS SuCIF/Jy. Ma n V pecplc who feel a deep interest in thia So cicty write to know if it is "going to live

Even in these hard times our buslncsB is rapidly in creasing. The Society was never in eo good a dondi t i o n a s a t present, and its prospects were never so bright It is a slow work to build up a publication society; but if our brethren will give us their patron ago, nnd pay their stock notes, ours will bn the grandest success of the ago. With no misfortune, the Society will at least pay its own way this year. This ia a point I have labored hard to reach. After this, nil stock money can be put into stereotype platce, etc., to build up the Society.
(.'pposition ia dying out. In another year or eo, the Booietv will be popular in all the Southern Slates. With universal confidence in the enterprise, there will be no difllculty in getting all the money wo desire to push forward our work. I now have no fears of failure.

TUE BIIILE DOCTRINK o r TDK MIDDLE L I K E — T h i s l i t tie book is already doing a mighty mission. The author shows how any one of strong, determined mind can, from any spiritual medium, converse as well with the spirit of a (l^a that bit him ten years ago, only call it Cousin or Sister Mary, as with the spirit (V) at the command of the medium. The author conversed with his living father-in-law as a departed spirit, through the mediumohip of the renowned Foster of New York, and since the publication of these facts others iu the South and now in the North are exposing Foster and Mam field and Blade. This knowledge alone ia worth many times the price of the book. It demonstrates to the Batiafoc'.inn of every one that it was not the spirit of Samuel that conversed with Saul Send 75 cents to the Southern Baptist Publication Society and H will be sent you free by mail

m H E Council of Trent hsd just s i much Scripiu.® X for decreeing: If any one deny that a icck.av &.>
a door, is Christ, let him be'eccatied, as for decreeiDg that if any one deny that the bread and wine are ibe r e 4 n wh and blood of Christ, he Is accurse i If p o nouncbg Christ's words^" this is my body;' over the bread changes it into biB body, ptonotinciDg Chrisi't words, " I am the door," changes it into hia kdy. There is as much authority and ar |umpat for ibc QD# as for the other; and if the infallible Council bad do-creed that transubitantiation (change of tubstaccf) of a door or a vino an it has of the biftad, those who be. lievo the one would believe tbe other. And why not ? The exprcstions are almost identical. No individual would believe that bread was ne»h~tlie body of Christ —except by bowing ihe intellect to the wordof afup pOBcd infallible chnrch, and that bowing of the inlel l ed would believe a door was obangcd into the fleth —the body of Christ —on the dicta of the semo tiifi-poEcd infallibility, The fact that It is still a dcor, composed of wood, which will decay, or be confidctcd wood to the sight and to the touob, a door in fnct. snd not (Christ's body, would be niot by the answer, I t im mystery, just as the known fact that Ihe bread is still bread to tbo touch and sight, and t ot the flenh of Christ, ia met by the stalfment " i t Is a mystery."
But we deny that in either of the above caiestbeie is any mystery. Mystjry means secret There is n Qod iu heaven, says Daniel, that revealeth lecrtU (misiira/it). Mysteries (eecret things) belong to Ood, euys Moses. The word comes from the Hebrew nol means sif CI et—something beyond tbo sphere of hurasu experience or knowledge. Tbo gospel of Christ wais mystery—that ia, secret—Until it was revealed, mede known , then it was no longer a myatery. The modB of God's being, the trinity of persons in unity, ia a mystery. 11 i> secret, it is uurevealed, it is beyond the iipbere of our experience or knowledge. We have no powcra to investigate it, cothiog with which to compare it, no means of testing i t But bread and wine, flesh and blood, are matters revealed toua; tboy are not above our reason. We can know of them, test them. The bread can be analyzed, resolved into Its original elements; it can decay, molder, be eaten by worms ; it is not ilesh, it is not Christ's body , wo know it is not, of our own knowledge. We knon nothing of onr own knowledge about God's being.
We can tell wine from blood. Wino has its atimu lating clement The wine, after it is consccrated, will still make drunk. The bread, were strychnine m:n gleU with it in its preparation, would, after tbe sup poied change by consecration, produce death. We know, therefore, that the wine and bread are not blood and fleab, and consequently Christ could not bnvo said what is in itso'.f false.
The offering by a morti.l,ainful priest of the sublime victim, who ofTered himself once for all, or rather the impious pretenso thus to offer him daily in tbo Macs, IB very fitly followed by tbo plea, that bread being still bread, though claimed to be Ood, is a ^reat mys-tery, like that of tbo Trinity. If tha first ia an insult to tbo Eternal One who accepted Christ's sacrifice, tbe other ia an insult to tbo feeblest human intellect
A miracle—and such would be the change of brea<l into flesh—is not a mystery when done, though the manner of doing it would be. Uow it was done we might never know r but that it was done we roust know, hare evidence of, or It would be no miracle. How the manna was (irepared for the children o( Israel in the wilderness is secret—that is, a mystery ; but that the manna did fall, they knew by their sight, touch and taste. Had they been told that the aacd was manna while it was still cand—^and to the sight, to the touch and to the taste—and when they atked how can sand be manna, were told thete's a mystery, they might have answered, they cotild have answered, had they been true to the instincts Ood ga?e them, It ia not a mystery; It is an untruth; and God, vho cannot lie, did not say so.
Christ .leBus, at the marriage i s Cana of Galilee (John ii.), ittrncd water into wine. It was Ihen no longer water. How this was done is not revealed, but that it was dono was' revealed, was no mystery— there was the wine, with its color and its tost* and its other properties. Hsd i i still beenfound to bo water, nothing on earth hot water, and ^ tiM paople told U w u win^ and t l ^ ttint l^^iiv* thongh they knew the contrary, it vrbtdd'iia^ been an Impo-
THE B A P T I S T . (ition ood not s miracle, a falsehood and not a myt tery. ...
U was a mystery bow Christ raised U/.tnui from the dead; but tbat be was raiacd a living man wos a fact, a thing done. Supposing Christ bad told them that the dead, corrupting cofp»e was alive, and their ImprewionB that it wa% a corpio.tbe very opposite of life was a mystery, like tbat of tbe Tjitiity in Unity waaa niyslery, would it not have been contrary tn his whole character a« tho ciabodiment of truth Y

I>rFffCULTISS OF THE IMMEKSIOS TlIKoRV
ABROTELER writes us, inviting atlcntion to an ar t ic le io t h e (ioulhcrn rrenhylMan of tbo 15lh of
.i\pril, under the above heading. It is tbe thirteenth •tilicle of a Bcrles, in which the author, S K A , pro
" dilBcuUiea " enough, if they wtro real instead *>f imaginary, to entirely overturn tbe "immersion theory." We propose a brief review of this one arti «le, but before reviewing wo have two romarka to makd:
1. Who has not heard the charge brought againnt Saptiata that they make too much of baptism ? Many cl ject to our paper, Tne Baitist, because it bius so inuoh to say about baptism. But wo have been an •ssoeiate editor of Tbe BAtTiar nearly Hve years, and
are inclined to the opinion that these thirteen wirticle* in t h e Southern Prnbylerian have had more on ibe subject of baptism than has been found in the columcB of The Bapti.'it in these five year We read several Baptist papers, and frequently see redobaptist psprrt, and the latter have many times as much on taptism as the former; In fact, special, earnest opposi-tion to the Baptiils is a notable feature in the Fedo-•fcaptist papers of the present day. Why all this ? le at because BaptisU are gaining ground so rapidly 7 Tsese papers present every instance of diaaflection amoDg Baptiats on the communion question, and on «very other questicrti, and endeavor to make their Teaders beUevo that the denomination is going to pieces, and that they are " in the last ditch; " but do they tell their people that each revolving year brings greater gains to thoBaptista than any preceding year ? J fa te they told them that, after all tbo fuis about division, Baptists gained more than one hundred ^hoDiaad in the United States, by baptism, last year— more than in any previous year since tbe world began, «nd that about one hundred of them were formerly Pedobapliatministers? We luppose this to be the Maion why, Pedobaptista make so much of baptism Dr. Doll writes fouf yolasBcs on the subject, contain-ing over two theusasd pages; leveral other books i a v e been recently published, and almost every seo t ios of ooaatry has a man whose special business it is t o travel »nd leoture or preach against Baptist*, and iba whole ooiutry teems with tracts in opposition to them; aU this, and all the time they are telling the people that baptism is nnimporUnt—a mere form— xon essentia], and that it makes no diflffreoce what a xoan belieres on the subject so he is sincere. Well, if ihey do not stop the rapid progreis of Baptist prinoiplea it will not be because they do not try.
2, a E. A. presenU "dilBcuIties of the immersion -theory" that are calculated to confuse tbe minds of ihe obiaformed, but we dare say, as many difficulties, u d as plausible, can be brought against any theory in the whole range of Christian doctrm& The Uuni-Tersalist will fully equal him in the number and plajulbility of dificuUie) of the theory of endless pun-i-tment; any shrewd ritualist can present as mar.y •/'j^nAief of the theory of jostification by faith; and 1 he same may. be siUd of the theory of God's purpose •ifgrm^orUieiireserTation of berieTers, atonement, »«nd aay otiier prominent doctrine of Christianiiy. «)wei), Darwin and Tindalfc find folly as many and as plaiuU)!* objeetioM to the whole tfaeo>7 orCnrisUaQ-|t J as oar anihor oaa find to the imttfrnion t k m y .
If Chrstians are to yield to the apparent "diffioulti^a" thai frhrewd opponents e m bring against their " iheot i rs" ihry may all hang their harps upon tbe wilioA's. But let u« look now !>l ths difiatltit* pre-sented iu the artiole in question. He takes thia passage of Scripture:
"Know ye not that so many of us as were bapiisfd into Jesus Cirist, were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death; that, like as Cbri&t was raised up from the dead by the glory of be Father, even to we alio should walk in newness of life."
He then proceeds: "This is perhaps the immersionisl's most valued
p ^ a g a And it is usually bis plsoe of tinal struggle. Here he imagines that the difiicuUies of his theory cease altogether to press him; and here, accordingly, bo is wont to entrench himself in the full eisurance of euccessful defense. Dr. Gareon tells us how highly this passage is esteemed in Baptist quarters when be says; ' I value the evidence of this passage so highly that I look on it as perfectly decisive. It cont^ns God's own explanation of hia own ordinance; and in this I call on my unlearned brethren to admire the divine wisdom; they do not understand tbe original, and the adoption of the words baptize and baptism can teach them nothing. TranMators, by adopting the Greek word, have contrived to hide the meaning from the unlearned. The Spirit of God ha-s. by this explanation, enabled them to judge for them selves in this matter.' "
Our author then saye: " The radical error of the itumersioniitt iu the iu-
terpretatioD of this passago confeists iu asjuming thai the Bpostlo is speaking in it o' waU>r or ritual baptism. * tt » Wo venture to aflirm that no unletirmul brother who has never heard of ' liquid grnves' would ever think of drawing such a conclusion from thip pastaga e cannot divest ourbolves of the feeling that such a conclusion w the oll'itpring of nrfjudice lather than of reason oi judicious criticism
Will S. E A. now tell us how it happened that all the principal theologians of one hundred years ago were the euhjects of this " prejudice," and wore so incapable of " reason or judicious criticism ? " Will he please to tell us how it happened that the leading theologians of his own denomination were eo blinded by " prejudice " and eo wanting in wisdom as to hold ihat this passage does refer to water baptism and teach immersion ? Can he give us the name of one leading critic or theologian who, one hundred and fifty years ago, held that it did not refer to water baptism ?
In reply to thia broad sweep of our author, who fmds so much prejudice and want of wisdom and ju-dicious criticism among these who see water baptism in the passago, we will give the names of sixteen leading Pedobaptistc, a number of whom were Pres-byterians, oil of whom so understood tho passage: Bloomfield, Wesley, Clark, Coppe, ItoBeamuller, MaoKnight, Wall, Luther, Samuel Clark, Dodridge, Whitfield, Baxter, Conybearo, Howson, Chalmers and Barnes. And yet S. E A. says, " we cannot diveet ourselves of the feeling that such a coticlusioa is the offspring of prejudice rather than of reason or judi-cious criticism." Where did these Pedobaptists gei their prejudices? Had they heard of "watery graves?" How eai, that so many of these fathers died before their eons had an opportunity to show them their prejudico and want of wisdom. Our author holds that the immersion of a believer in water is not a fit representation of the ancient buriak Yet in immersion the person ia buried and railed again, and that is exactly what the passage in ques tion says. But in his second difficulty he says:
" If the apostle is speakiog of water baptism, then there are certain other figurr^ '!?bich form a part of the same pusage and stand in tbe closest possible connection with the words ' buried with him by bap-tism,' which are largely calculated to confuse the judgment and render it painfully uncertain whether in baptism the attempted imitation should be that of a burial, or a erucijixion, or a phnthg If t h e reader will turn to tho passage he will set) that these bap> tized Christians are said to bo ' planted together in tbo likeness of his death,' and ' crucified witb him,' as well as 'buried with him.' Out of these several figures the Baptist makes selection of one, viz, buried, and attempU, in baptism, an imitation of it. Suppose another should attempt an 'mitation of planting, end another of crucifixion, could Baptists object?"
We answer no; for Baptists not only attempt but actually repreient all these thiois in imtnersion, while Pedobaptists' baptism does not represent any one of them. Believen being "dead to sin" so that they cannot "live any longer therein." * • » " Enowiog this, that the'ur old man is oracified with hlra,* that the body of sin might be deatrojed, that heooeforth they should not s e m tioi" "Iherafora tbey u « buried with him t j baptism./' eta How (dear ft ii to oce who baa no pet tbfoiy to M m . iUtar dMtb,
the next thing is a kurial, and that bnrial d t d a m the fact of the death which has preceded it Aft®, t ie Sivior was crucified, the next thing he «m buried. So, after a sinner dies to ain and is osds spiritually alive by regtneration, the next duty is be " buried with Christ by baptism into death, that like as Christ was raised' up from the desd by the glory of the Father, even so he also should walk in newness of life " But le«t we should be regarded by our author, and those who think as he does, as under tbe influence of ignorance and prejudice, we will throw tho dispute into the Presbyterian faeily rh^ let them settle it among themselves. Dr. MacKnifcUi, of Scotland, a learned Pre»byterlan. who no oib would regard S. E A. as tbe equal of, in his comment on the passago in question, writes as follows:
" The baptized person being raised up out of the woter after being washed, he is thereby taught that he.shall be raisett from the dead with Christ, by the power of the Father, •o live with him forever in heaven, e ta" Again: " We have been buried with him by baptem into his death; ' and verse 5, planted together in the likeness of his death—also of his res-urrection ; and verse 8, though we have died with Christ. [See Rom. vil 4, note 2 1 From all of which It appears that bsptisw, the rile of initiation into tbe Christian church, is an omblemalioal lepresentation of our union witb Christ as members of his body, aud of the malignity ftf sin in bringing death upon Christ, verse 10, and upon all mankind, and of the ellicacy o Christ's death in procuring for all ths reaurrectioa from the dead." igaiu: "'Bufied with him by baptism.' Christ's baptism was not tbe baptism of repentance, for ho never committed ad? sin; but ho submitted to be baptized, that is, t i be buried under water by John, and to be raised out of It again tis an emblem of hia future death and renur reciion. In like manner the baptism of believers ii emblematical of their own death, burial and reaur-rectioa"
And hero Dr. MacKnight lefers tho reader to his notes on Colossians ii. liJ, which accord with the language we have quoted. But Paul calls baptism a " planting," and our author cannot seo how that ii represented by an immersion. Let his brother, Maclvnight, explain that
" Verse rub. ' Have boea planted together in tbe likeness of his death ' The burial of Christ and of believerj, first, in the waters of baptism and after-wards in the earth, is fitly enough compared to thn planting of seeds in the earth, becauso the effect in ooth cases is reviviscence to a state of greater perfec tion.
' We shall l e also in tho likeness of his resurrec-tion.' Of the resurrection of believers, Christ's resur-rection is both an example and.a proof; wherefore our baptism, called in the preceding ci^i^ie a ' plant ing together in the likene«s of his death,' being both a memorial of Christ's death and resurrection, and a prefiguration of our own, it teaches us that we shall die indeed through the malignity of sin, as Christ died; but through the merits of nis death and the eflicacy of his power as Savior we shall, at the lait day, be raised from the dead as he was, to live witb him and with Cod eternally. Our baptism setting these things before us, the daily recollection of it ought to stir us up to every religious and virtuous action, that wo may be meat for the society of God and of Chribt through all ettrnity "—;VocAnyAr ou ttio Epistles, sixth chapter of Romans.
In Colobsians ii. 12 we read: "Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead." Dr. UacKnight's com-ment on this verso corresponds with the quotations given above. The ne:(t chapter begins: " If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those thing* which are above." Dr. MaoKnight, in commencing his exposi-tion of this chapter says:
" I n the ]2i,h verse of the preceding chaptor the apostle bad told the Colossians that they had been buried with Christ in the water of baptism as dead persons, in token of their relin quishing their former principles and practices; and mat in baptism like-wise they had been raised out of tbe water with Christ as an emblem and pledge of th«fir resurrection with him to eternal life:"
Had we the space, and were we willing to tsx tbe pAtience of our readers, we could £11 columns with quotations from distinguished Presbyterians, which would fully explain all the difEcuUies our author has found in the way of this pasnage teaching immersion. But he says: "If the apostle is speaking of water baptism, then he clearly teaches the dootriae of bap-tismal regeneration; for wbaterer the b^itism of which he speaks may be he ascribes to ik Mi efficacy which BapUsta, as well as oarselTet, are Motutomed (0 tnu» to » mach higher a o n i ^ and aflenoy than any niere washing witli water. * * n • No on* c«n twadsbe paMa«e oanftdly withoat perawMiif that nlMtom tho bq>iimor wUoh P i a l tpmim auy be, it isthererrthfaigCtiottlieNeembliMooftlMtbiaf),
bat the very thing iUelf that identifier with Christ, Ibat is tbe instrutntnt of the believer's spiritual death, resurrection aud new life of hoUnv^a." It dots not to appear In us. Daptisra is thb " instrument" thai represents thece things—that and nothing more. Is a burial an instrument of crucifixion, or of death in any form 7 The plauting referred ta here is repre-sented by the Apostle as only being in tbo likcne&s of Christ's death. Believers in Christ are, by baptism, planted together in the hkenext of Christ's death that ihey may be hIko in tho likeness of bis resurrection. U is the duly of every bi iievcr to maiiiftbt tho life Christ has givtn him. If " the body is dead becivuBn of sin," let it bo buried with Christ by baptism into death, if tho spirit ia life becauie of righteousnesB, "latthat life bo set forth by a resurrection to walk in newness of life," for "thus it becometh u» to fulfill all lighteousnsss."
But our author absumea that tho passago in ijuet-tion refers to tho baptism of the Holy Ghost, aud adds: " Ftilual baptiam is not the instrument of a death to sin aud a life of holiness." To thia we agree But baptism is a profession of a death to sin and a lifo of holiness. Ho adds further : " Kitual b.-tptism iu not r,-genera(wn—the baptism of the Holy Ghost io." On tliiii last quolalion Wr Lttv<i Iao reuections to cller 1. IVilobajilisH tell u< that water IjipliBin ia to rep reeeiit Ibo baptibru of llio Holy (thoal. N'ow our author lolla us that tho iiaptiBin of Ihp Holy (Iho.^l in a burial. Wi!l ho iiccopi lli<* cons.»iiaoncta cf his own declaralioii ?

Bui this is an ubsuiuption that ct-rlaiuly is without foumia lion. Were the npostics never rogouoraled until the diy of ponteco.-il? If the baptiiim of iho Holy Gliost is reger.err.tioa why do our I'reitbyterian breliiren, who belii'vo in tho " liaal perseverance of tho Baiuls," so often pray for tho bnpubui of the Holy I'hoat? When lb«y pray for it, of course Ihey mean imraer-tion, for they do not desire just a liltU, like sprink-ling , but do they moan to a^k God to regenerate them Bgiiu? Surely not. An eminent and popular author defines tho baplijm of the Haly Ghoat as follows
• Timt overwhelming abundance of tho gifts aud graces of the Holy Spirit which our Savior, after his aecenxion, pourcil forth upon his discipleB. The basis of tliis beautiful metaphor id found in tho signilica-tion of baptism, which is to cover ono completely with any kind of < lemont, particularly water. So tho apostles and primitive believers are said to have been, not only in a degree auhject lo llie influence of tbe Holy Spirit, but filled with it, immersed in it, aa in a new element of existence, as in a new element of life, perception, feeling and action. A measure of the sumo divine inllumco they ha'i rcceivcd before, but this was a far more copious aad »mple communica-tion of it, to qualify them for their public laborc, aa well as to elotate their personal character and to promote their peiBonal enjoyment."
We cannot suppose that any one who will reod tho Scriptures caro'ully on this subject without prejudice or preconceived opioiona can conclude that tho bap-tism of the Holy Ghost is regeneration. We tbink all the dij/i:ultia of the immersion theory p resented by S. E. A amount to very little when examined in the light of truth and reason. May he, like Alexander Carson, from whose writings he quotes, in his eiTorts to find the difliculties of the immersion theory, find the truth, and walk in it as willingly as Carson did, though it may cost him a great sacrifice. Aii great eiTorta to find tho truth as he has made to find these diffieuliic* would c'oubileas Ue much more fruitful of good.

These khepherds can tell their sheep in all bitda "by the lots of their wool" Hin is constantly repreeented as either mortal or venial. He who dies gtiiltyof mortal sin, in not allowfld the blessed privilege even of roasting io those "fiery furnaces" in purgatory I Ail »iu after baptiKin, so-called, is venial, if thsy con-tinue faithful.
!n order tx> got thia idea of sin fully before yon, gentlo reader, indulge me in a few extracts by way of explanation and definition. Mr. Tanquerey says: "St. .John saw tho necessity of such a purgatory," (that which is taught by venial sin) for he says: "There shall not enter into it (heaven) anything defiled." Rev. xxi, 27. "A child often years who dies guilty of a jocose lie, or a olighi disobedience lo his parents of which he has not repented is defiled. Therefore he cannot entar into tho kingdom of heaven. Will E. D. Miller coD demn him to hell?" This extract contains, in a somewhat covert form, the genuine Romish doctrine of eatiafaction God remits only tho guilt and eternal pain of mortal sin in the faithful, but retaini a lesser chastisement of his power to be inflicted on the venial tinner by tbo church. This opens the door for merilorloua works, aa " fasting, alms deBds,contrite wfeping,' etc , which have power to avort punish ment by canceling hin.
Peter Dens, in his Moral Theo, (a text book ita Uamish d'vinity schools,) gives us this definition of motal sin "'That which of itself entails spiritual death upon tho soul." "Venial ein: That wh'ch doea not ontBil spiritual death upon tho soul, or that which does not avert from tho uUimate end, (that is, which tlooa not creato aversion to God.) or which is only B l l gh t l y repugnant to tho right order of reason." Venial sins can bo committed only by the faithful They are either forgiven or paid for in this world. Or tho transgressor is subjected to tho purifying process of purgatorial firea.
There is, besides theao sins, a very long catalogue of mest infamous crimes, committed against humanir ty, or attempted to bo committed, which, in the judg ment of these moral theological writers, are most holy acU. Such a<" the Gun Plot" iu England, and the ' St. Bartholomew Massacre" in France. In this mas aaore, it ia estimated that 25,000 or 30,000 IluguonoU, consisting of men, women, children and nursing in-fants were brutally murdered by Romanists accord-ing to a well ma'.ured plan. Tho news of this event was received at Rome with demonstrations of the grealett joy by the infallible Vicar General of God and his cardinals. They went in a solemn procession to the church of St. Louis to return thanks to God for the murder of these men and womsn, young men and maidens, children and nursing infants I Te De um was sung and loud cannon pealed forth the joy of these " holy " men I Pope Clement VIIL desfg nates thii massacre as " the celebrated day of 8l

PURaATOJiy—MORTAL ASD VKX/AL SIX. • RO. LOWEUY: Whoever has paid any atten-
tion to the arguments—so-cttlled—of those who plead for purgatory, are aware that tbo Pope's pre-tended power to forgive sin, is wielded by these speakers and writers with all the potency that the rhetoric of sophistry and superstition can command. Every priest has this power by v'.rtue of his apostoli-cal consecration I A few centuries ago the Pope was almost omnipotent in politics and religion, becauee he was supposed to have power frcm heaven, to for-give or retain sin at will. Whea he rattled his key», kings trembled, and often empires fell, and untold thouands perished. This power is sUll claimed for him and with an enlargement since the Vatican Conn-oil degree of infaUibillty—jwt how a few ordinarjr men oan decree an old man infallible is a little ptu-
Bsrlholomow, most cheering U still a trade carried on at Rome in medals struck lo conmemorate this bloody day.
Wo have now before us the Romish idea of sin in their own approved words and acts.
It will hardly bo accepted by right thinking people, that the reason why .these fiendish acta are not sins even in Romish morals, is because the Romish hierar-chy has "decreed," that " faith is not to be kept with heretics." And yet this U the explanation of thu m o r a l wonder I I n the "pious" judgment of t h ^ holy men, " thedecrees" carry in them a wonderful power over tho ihoral quality of the acto of the faith-ful. By a decree they can even make a saint out of a profligate heretical, tf eid, pope I
Kamanists pretend that such a sUte of morals as hero indicated, is taugfit in the Bible, and, that when an act, or word, or thought is sinful, or sin itself, it is either mortal or venial as here defined. Tbfa distinc-tion has no support from the Bible, nor can it be maintained one moment on ethical principles.

my brother, that it shall be pleasantness to
thy soul? «y what waters, through what valleys, by
what mountains shall thy feet be led in peace 7 A a
swer, oh prophet of the Most High, and ye singers
in Israel, let us bear testimony for God. What way
wentest thou, Jacob, to thiac inheritance ? Tho way
of worldly princes with scarlet robes, princely crown,
a royal train to honor Ihe^; downy l)ed» and rosy
curtains badst t hw for thy weary limbs? Was iby
bethel raised a pile of splendid marble, where buRy
multitudes of tho great, tb» rich, tho worldly wise
were wont to stand and geze, spoS! bound, at (his
show of thy glory and power? Solomou could tell
tbee of crowns, and robes, ond temples; aye, and
Solomon could tell thee of case, and wautonnets, and
black idolitrv bet, for all ."^jlomon's glory, ho could
not outshine ihe ' l i ly of the vslloy," ond thou art
to me, oh, Jacob, a lily of God's own handiwork, a
man growing up to bo a prince, a royal priest of a
true bethel in a way of wiedom, wherein iby body
found poor comfort but thy soul great riches. Whai
fayest tboii, old man, when thy cons wish theo to go
down to Egypt? Thine e}es are dim, thy hand
trembles with age, ftar leizes thy heart, and thy poor
lips cry out in aDguinh—hsst forgotten thy Bethel ?
" All these things are against me." Ah I tut, grey
headed sire, iu not God for thee ? Then, who can bo
sf,ainat theo and prevail ? Poor man, wisdom leadeth
ihee a way thou knowest noL Cheer up, blind man,
God will put thee in mid air with glorious wings of
faith to bear ihce out in the balmy sunshino and
through msny a grateful bower and losy lawu. What,
man, God tell thee that his way is peace and yet thou
desirest thine own way 7 Shame on thee I Uide thy
face and grope the darkntss if thou wilt not look up to
him who leadeth thee. Well, thou art waked up at
last. I hear thee sobbing ,ou tho neck of thy dear
son, Joseph. Thou knowest now, thou art convinced.
Joseph, thy dailing boy, is once more in thine arms.
Once in despair theu didst feel that all was over with
him. Oh, what a way wisdom hath led thy wicked
heart I Thou doest well remember, Jacob, how badly
thy brothoir, E)au, fared at thy handa Ever hast
thy heart been longing to go up to honor by short
by-paths of Jacob's making, ^ s e host been the
coveted way and quick results tbe priza thou hast set
thy heart upon.
Well has it been for thee tha t^hovah hath pro-
vided a better way for thee, wanderer from the fold—
this straying sheep. Better for thee, thou stubborn,
wayward man, that he hath driven thee where thou
wouldst not be led. Better had it been for tbee if
thy trust bad been in God from tbe very first, then
thou wouldst ever have believed bis ways pleasant,
then wonld his perfect peace have kept thee from all
i l l I f thou couldst speak to us now bow thy voice
would sound through all the worU, a faint re echo of
that angel choir that sang such a birthday song as
never at other time was heard, " yea, his paths are
peace."
Atid what sayest thou Paul 7 Hard times pressed
upon thee oft and spre. Perils met thy weary foot-
steps; itripeifell on thine aching back; tby path
was Indeed lonely enough. Is this the pleasant way
of the King's embassador? Ananias and Caiapbas
think not PiuBlX. wonld hardly say, yes. Royal
meulengen thould be well rpproved with seals of
power u i d symbols of their dignity. . What art thou
doing, Panl, here in Corinth? Making tents. My
daar brother, I wouldn^t expect this of a man of your
taltaf'and power. Why don't you make your
ohoraheil •npport you 7 Yoa are not practicing what
yon piaaoh. True,, says Paul, I am wra in^g

know whom I have trusted, he is able to save to the
uttermost, I fear nothing, I am ready to Le biupj^o,
offered for the gospel, I am not anhamed of H- )
glory in tribulations also. Well, Paul, I can't utider-
stand you. I don't think that Christ cslls on jou
for all these sacrifices and trials. U is not necpasnry
forjou to undergo 80 much, to encounter to laacb
opposition, engage co much in controversy and bring
down such persecution on the headt of Cbristkns. 1 am not surprised that tho wisdom of Ood is foolish-
aess to men. Jesus, who sullered, says we shall have
tribulation here, but in him peace; this is Biiaply
rue, I am not my own; bought with a gres.t price, and
my heart is set on heavenly things; I run f,r the
heavenly prize. Hinder me not; noaoof these things
move me, for 1 am persuaded that nothing can sepa-
rate mo from the love of Christ; 1 am nioro than
coiKjueror, through him, over all tho ills of a fleeting

THE GENERAL ASSOCIATION 01' SOI TH SlSSU'l'l AND EAST LOVISIASA -
r<th SESStOX. 'TIUIS body held its fifth scsslou w th tho East
X Fork Baptist Church in Amite county, Miss, on
the IGih and 17ih days of april. Tho meetinp,
though smaller than usuol, wa ^ an harmonious one,
and there was manifest a very decided intorost in the
various enterprises of this body.
The ueual routine of business in cuch bodies waa
gonethiough with. No change was made in the
officers, except that of President, Rev. C. H. Otkcn,
the firmer President, declining reelection, Kev. I.
Scofield was elected in his place.
The roost imrortant action of tho Aasociotion wee
passing a resolution authorizing tho Bjard of Mann
gers to consolidate tho entire work of tho Ueneral
Association with tho work of tho Mississippi Baptist
State Convention. This being consummated the
General Association will cease to exist as an inde-
pendent organization. Uev. S. S. Relyea is continued
in the employment of the Board of Mississippi Bap-
tist State Convention.
Tho question of pastoral support was up before thb
body and presented many perplexing and distressing
facts. I t is here we are suffering defcct. Verily
there is an accursed thing in Israel. Sin lictli at the
door of some one. This is our Ai, who is the Aohan ?
Tbe Sunday school report presents some interest-
ing facts, according to tbe latest statistics. For
instance, there were reported 19 Sunday-icbools, lol
teachers and oiTicers employed, with an average
attendance of 700 pupils, the number enrolled being
1029. There are 500 (estimated) copies of Iiind IVvrds in circulation. $189 aggregate (only a few reported)
expenses of tbe Sunday schools, but no sums con-
tributed for missions This docs not inblude Vt other
schools not reported. The further prosecution of tbe
work of the Sunday school Convention was abandoned
as Impracticable under tbe eircunutances.
The preaching was done by the writer on Saturday.

OUR Convention is to meet i'l Trenton on the 'Jib
of ,luly, aad 1 write to call the attention of the
ohurohej to tho fact that we are yet in debt to mis-
sionaries employed by tho Board in 1R72 Tho dtbt
in juat—these brethren are poor and in great need of
what is due theui. I do hope tho brethren will coruu
up prepared to wipo out this liatiility. The churehcs
should raise a fip<»ci(i! fund for this purj)0S0, and not
leave their drU'gii.ea to bhoulder the responsibility
themselves. 1 think two hundred dollars would

to take his place in tho pulpit Tho point of incon-
sisteDcy which he UR^DS is weM taken, yet i t ia severa l years too youog to nflect us here in tho West. Thin ,
with Bapt is ts in our State, is a eottled issue. Tbe
old landmark IQ fully reset, if indeed, it ever were
out o f place. But, living under the immediate iofia-
ence o f the Jlcrald, wo aro not surprised that such Inconaistencies s:iM largely obtain as those mentioned
by Bro. Minor. A preacher, however, t o preach upon this subject under the point blank range o f that a w ful siege piece a t Memphis , THK BAT^IST, would bo said t o b e " beating tho air."
But n o w , that'its eohoea have begun to reverberate
through t he bills of Virginia, and to awaken tho sleeping sen tinel she l tered under the protection of
the Herald, w e aro hopeful that if this Columbiad is not dismounted that it will at least b e so crippled in its Icflaence that hundreds in Virginia and the Caro linas, l ike they have already in Mississippi, Tenres-seeand Arkansas, will, wiih our Minor, see the in
consistency o f this practice, and ultimately fal| into tbe rank and file of iho great landmark army. " We
have no sucb customs, neither tho churches o f God."

CRGP PROSPECT IN ARKANSAS.
Boo. GniTES:—We hear the cry of hard-Umes com
ing up from almost every direction, and, I suppose, it
means scant of eatables and but little money to buy
with. With tbouianda this is distreidngly true,
while there are those who are free from want and
conld help the needy bat are wanting in lympatliy
and pity for the distreued; these, with iom« honoia-
bla exeaptioaf, are tha first to cqr "hard % a i , " and

Tiiv. liAi rifiT of March 20lh is an article from
liro L. K Obpnchatn, pastor of Forest Chapel
Cburc'n, inviting the ministers and dcncons of Mt.
Vernon Association oast of White river to meet with
Forest Chapel Cbiirch on the 5th Sabbath of May,
1875. This meeting is designed to take tho place
of cno appointed for the 5th Sabbath in January,
which was prevented by high water. Come out,
brethren, and let us havo a thorough crganization,
and, afterward, activo work. Our brother, Eld. J .
U. Graves, promises to meet with us (D. V.)
Those meetings have contributed largely to the
development ol denominational strength and talent
in other States, and will do as much for us if wo will
only avail ourselves of their benefits. Being quite
a stranger in yeur midst I desire that others should
speak out, and agitate the que«tion each week until
tho meeting comes off. Will some brother give a
synopsis of tho work and worKers appointed for said
meeting ? Let us hour from you, brethren.

Biio fiaAvta:—Your request about pastors is a good
thought. We have been having a protracted prayer-
meeting for nearly two week?. Our church needed a
revival, but many of tho members are sick and can't
attend. Great interest has been manifested. Reli-
gion in our town is ebbing low, but dod's dealings
with us as a State and as a church call us to repen
tanco and prayer. Tho men who killed our Bro.
Chapel some time since have been arrested and are
now on trial for bail ProspecU for a good crop are
fine. Plenty of fruit l 'ine wheat Our rain comes
from tho old point, the Wesi God is smiling on as.
May the Prince of Peace come quickly. Hope to see.

It is not legally necessary to Bay on a nolo "for value received."
Coctracts made on Sunday cannot be enforced. A note by a minor is void. A contract m a d e with a mino r is also void. A contract made with a lunatic is void. A note obtained by fraud, or from a person in a
ktato of intcxication, cannot bo collected. If a note <s lost or stolen, it does not release the
maker; he must pay it, if the consideration for which it was given and the amount can be proven.
An endorser of a note is exempt from liability if not served with notice of dishonor within twenty four hours after its non payment.
Notes bear interest only when it is so slated. Principals are responsible for tbe acts of their
agents. Each individual in a partnership is responsible for
the whole amount of debts of tbe firm. Ignorance of the law excuses no ono. It is a fraud to conceal a fraud. The law compels no one to do impossibilities. An agreement without consideration is void. Signatures made with a lead pencil are good
law. A receipt for money is cot olway conclusive. The acts of ono partner bind all the rest.

1 ONCE once met a veteranof a Baptist preacher away ap in the bill country of North Carolina, who, though of , little learning, had baptized more Method ists than any ten preschers in all that section. And he sidd to. me: " If a Methodist is converted, and 1 can get him mad on the subject of baptism, I am just as sure to baptize him as God spares us l>oth; for if he gets mad he goes to tbe Testament about It and that settles the matter." So let the brother be com-forted—jExeAan^d
TIMEfi ASD EASY OFFEJtS FOR THE HARD NICE PREMIUMS WE know (bat the times were never more stringent,
and money so scarce, ba t we know also that it was never more important for a strong, tound Baptist paper to be kept up, and kept up in memphis, than at (Aistime. Memphis was considered one cf the most important of the ^ i t a r y posts in the South daring the late war. Catholics and Protestants regard it as the most important center of religions icfluence in the whole Sonth, and they are doing all in their power to o ^ p T it. The Methodists of Tennessee, Missis-aippi, Alabama and Arkansas support a p t ^ hers. The Presbyterians have one. The Catholloo have re* eentlf' s t i u M oni>, and last month tbe E^soqpaUans ha)9 ftKrti^ a.mAiest to mialntelp thehr v iem in the Soatlnrart tUs pcdnt, and even the l^pMimStU have s t a r ^ aa 'orifm |iet«. Is 4 m a posittle d e a l t t h ^ « • oaght iio have a stimig^ aodnd, s M N a ^ w e U supported paper here to antagonhce the teaehhip of
all these T There is no Bantist interest of more m portance than a weekly Baptist pap^r in thit mercial metropoH* of the Southnpsi.
Wo have established, and through i^ight bani yttd • ot toil and sacR^ce, without calling .upon the decMn ination fer one dollar, or without one dime's belnf]^ private brethren,we have conducted tbe paper throotii the fearful viscisitudes of ]>estiIeoce, floods ssd droughts, to this present time. In priwf of ouj confidence in ibe good will of the Southwestern tisU, and their willingness to support this paper, at a taenjitt of some of the luxurisf, or even common ly regarded necoisaries of life, such as coffe« t« sugar, tobacco, etc., if necessary. We have enlsrgfii it to its present beautiful form, that BO delights tht eye and heart of all who have seen it. We have dow so Iccaiue we believe that its friends will finditeaiif, to support it in this form than in the half-iheeU though the weekly expense will bo fully treble. Thm placinfT tbe matter before our readers wc' make our caty offers for hvd times.
1. For $1 10 we will send tbo piper for five moalbj —without the gift; for $1.25 with Btblo Baptism,

A ( iueitlon to I'oii. How much would you be willing to advance on
your paper to keep it up to its present size and ap-pearance rather than to have it go back to its half-sheet? Send that amount this week without fail, and you will keep it there.
SERIES OF SERMONS. THE New York and Boston pastors, to supplement their salaries, are delivering lectures upon liter-
ary subjects. To relieve the paper this year of the expense of our family, we propose to deliver a courie of four or five sermons each week to such churohM as desire the course, and feel that they can bet r the expense. We should be delighted to visit our breth-ren without being a burden to them, but wo csntiol. Those wishing a visit will correspond with us.

T H E BODY m L U K O B R A C E .
To Uaptlist Ministers of tho South: I take this method of calling your atten-
tion to tho celebrated Body and Lung IJrsce, the agcBcy of whioh I have accept-ed that I may mako it a benefit to my paper by making It a far greater benefit lo you. I will briefly give you my reasons for rec-omsending this invaluable ariicle to you.
More than eighteen years ago I wss thoroughly broken down in voice, from essMsive preaching. 1 could speak but a littlo while wiiheut KCtUnz hotne. My throat was generally lore and ossllv irrita-tr.d, find i .s lone bocsme heavy and husky. Soon a A ck ng cough sot in, that ir.srca$ed, until at the closo of » long meeting my voice failed entirely, under iho effects cf a chronic laryngitis, that had superinducods bronchitis, which seriously thre»tentd my life. I w lis now comiielled to desht from preaching, and either to overcome those dlffloullicB and recover the lost treasure— the voteo, that to a mini iter more va uable than gold or jewels. I np|. ied lo the inont onincnt physicians, and was bat little helped; save tho eiolsion of an oloagatei oTula, they • uld do nothing but a viie rest, and this I wss compelled to take. What causcd and continned that constant irriiaticn and hacking ihey ciuld neituer explain nor prevent Providcncs throw the remedy in my way. My wire WB« Suf-fering from ;>ro.of4ui utui a i d tho pro-fessor of the theory and p aotice of modi cine in ilie Mediial University of Naibville wss hor physi.lan, and he prescribed for her this identl al Brae-, whioh speedily relieved 8bo complained of a drsgg'ng down, and no Isnguage could better ex-press my feelings, and especially after preaching. It ojourrcd to mo if it was good for one case of dragging down, why net for ancther. Without conBulting any one 1 procured one lar^e enough for my-self and put it on, the first tisie doubtless it was over worn by a man for such a rea-son, and the raiult was, the itritallon of my throat soon quieted, and the baekiog ere long eased, and tho voice commenoed. building up, until I oculd articulate, which I bad nut »Uno for twelve roontbH. and very soon I commenced t» pr.ach again, p a t Brace I wore nearly ten yeara without communicatiag Its wonderjul advanUgas
utiusnil efforts. I t i s ay ress r ix ro fagood voice and of a s und physical oondltlw. U should be worn by every mia l#^* t? carry the energy snd vlg.T of y j u t h fa r into old t g e , . . ,
Our labor in protrscted meetings Is what prestr .tos and us?s up s i many mlnisten in voice a t d strength, and lays ttr^^'d. ation of premature dec*/, ^ ""i'. .
This tnvalu >ble arllole I aai place with n the essy reaeh of e tWf tisl minister of the Soutk, and whei t l f jWS woin it one month, or through one meet-Inir, h? will evorm ire be grateful to me.
