1st, By the decbr i i iou of the Bo le , " V e are the £::lt of the eartli, ye arc the light cjf the world,"' .i:c. As Baptists we.profess to be bent upon lUu iuanlxHuix of the apu^tles aad prophets, if s-.i, we uu^i. regard thes»; jias-sag'ja of Scripturi a.s being a d d i e s t e i to u-, imposing iui obiiu:niIun of which bi-.L trv.' of us have any jusL conception.

3d. We are deficient in piety. Not that "ur rhnrch..-s are behind Olhers in this respect —this is n'>: the i-iise—there is more genuir^e j.iety in the Bapti.-t Church thau is to be found m :iny otber communion on earth.

I\ . I now oiill your attealion to oar dan-gers and liabililiea to suffer.

1. V» e are in dp.ngc r because we are unfaith-f;il to the jTf'at inter, st of truih. of >vhich

We point to anti-ilissiotiary Bnptisfs and say t l a t God is ren-dering them extinct for their indifTcrence to t;ie .--jiiead of the" gospel. We ai-e.iesa excu-SiWeTtMn iLey are, besanse "vrp profess to be Missiocajies. The time -will come when aH S i fh Ciptlsf.tr will become aby-word and a t i s s to all (h.>-e who live (or the glory of God.

i . V.'e are in danger from the la.TC character

tisa? WTio introduced die luontLly ..'oncert ! of oar Di.scipline. Men are suffered to remain of prayer? Baptists. Who -iras the lir.it ad-vocate of religio.us hburty? A Baptist. The tree of reiigiotis liberty ia every age ^f the •worLl has been tlireiitcned v. i;h destruction. Oce has tried to cut an ay a braccli here and another there, buu (iod has placed his iruth a s a flaming awr.rd tumiag every way for the dirfence of this Siicred Uee. A n d when its branches shall slituie every land, the world •will acknowledge its ir.debrcdnes.s to the Bap-tLsis who have fought single handed in every a K for free toleration in all things pertaining to rtdigion. Tlie tendency of thing? irpnn the one hand has been lo change the giory of God

4 into hnrnsn imagps and to rem.ove the oM land miu-ks. And the fart that the true im-ge of God and tlie old Iind marks are still risible, i.-i- attributable -under God to th? antagonistic cliaractprof- Bap&^ iniiuctice. This sumnjary-

fiicts Plows most ci.>nolu.-ively that P o d lo-oks to the Baptists a.s the gn-nt system of agency ia'jhe_ world's .conversion. If this world is not redeemed upon Bv.p'i.-.t principles it will aever he redeemed at ail, lor ours t'le eoly system of govemm-nt which, hke tlie Sible, guarantees u^-itl rights to ;ill-an-; e i -itluiiTE priraeges to none. " i IT, God has enduvTcd.as wi;h ever}- facihty

ibr the world's conversiun, fur the discharge our respo"nsibiliries as a peop.e.

. I. He k i s given ns the t ru th . , Tliis is con-iKded by afl the world. The highest au'Jiori-ty ia the DatcU Reformed -Church "declares that the Eaptisu are the only people that have saod since the days of tiie aposdes, prc---erv-ing pure thruUgh aU ages the doetrine-s i,; the gospeL - " •

2d, G o d h a s j i v e n n s ' t h e m - n . I t is a great mislake that the Captiits are b ih iad all the rest of the world in point of tak-nt. Who was a rmdal, Wicklift, ITilton, Fuller, Hall , C.ar-spn, Jaiison? B:ip'isU. Besides a host of others nnd-^r whose inSuence. the nations have been made to q^nail.

3d, He ha.'; given u.s the vreilJi. Brethren, inany of you possess a great dem of wealth. The m s t e n c e of tJiis wealth in connexi.-n with y<ni, imposes an obligation which, if left un'-fischarged, will make you. t-T^mtile in the day etf eternity. I t is an awful tiling to be rich if t iose r idies are. tmstiicti&ed b y religion and t j a graca of G->L The clnircfa? has always J»saeasesi every advantage for the ascomplish-ment of her great work, and • if we have cot ttone well ticder afl these advanLiges given ns iiitIiftprQviJeniie.of '-God, ii must-be owing to some deficiency in our practical department.

- 1 this par.ticalax I must confess that we pos-seia maqy sad and dangerous deficiencies,- to 4 consideration of some of these I now eall jour aUention. This deficiency ia sinrn,

Jst, In our system of contributions. Instead uE adopting the system of the Bible upon this subject, -we refer the whole matter to the in-^-vidnal caHed. npoa to ^ v e as may best snit the a-Taricious natia^ of his o-wn he-irt. Do I M j ioDfcimcli. -frhen I charge the Iieart "witb ^lang.at fault in tliis case? Periiapk'I do; bnt

" i t u evident ths ie i s a wrong some frhere, he TIIO can aud not gir^ oC b i s iob-

in the church who have no pietv at all; and rn.;uiy who have the form of go-lliness are quite destitut.i of its power. The church is the place where the genuineness of a man's con-version is attested; "by their fruits you shall know them." If they have no fruit unto ho-liness, and do not obey the laws of God, but persist in vvalLing disorJeily, iliey ibould be JUL oil from the church—the church is no place to reform men. The time is coming when the world will feel that it needs the in-tluence of a dee-per toned piety, and if it is not to be found in tht; Baptist. Chuich it will seek it elsewhere. In other departsmeuts of the christian world are attempts be ingmade to at-tract by pomp and show those who have itch-ing ear?—which, by the way, is no small por-tion of mankiu'l—but as Bapii.^Ls we should attrki-t by the purity of our associations, the soundness of our principles and oar fidelity to Gild. These holy characteristics would ren-der iLs the light of the world, die salt of the eiuth, and ;is .-litractive a-s a-c i ty set upon a hill the light of wliich c.innoi be hid, but like the sun in the heaveas would dazzle the be-holders.

.'f We are in danger of saficring from the comprumi.-ing disposition of both ministry and lavman. Soiie ministers cannot open 'Jie d'K)rs of the church to receive even those who SUV t!;cv wish to become Baptists; other.= can-not declare the whole council of Ood, others ref-jse to t.ake a posi.-ion upon any important (juestiim of ihe day, involving the Interest of rruth, not so much bei.-ause they are afraid of inP.icting an injury upon the interest of that truth as that of effecting their ow.i popularity, and lest in the e rd they should be foand in the minority. Thi." ccmpnimising dispo.sition is cursing the church of Christ, and it would not surpriSs me if God should ca-fise it to cursfe the mi^iisters who arc guilfy of it. Sorne men in" religious ra iiXers are like the .o ld French po-htician, on one side in the morning' and on the other in the evening, !tn J eventually they will be on no side at all. There is a state of things coming-up which force every mair into his ap-propriate position—which will clearly show who is on the side of truth and who'is not. A tim': that will show who were the real friends of trrrth, tlie men who mndo religion and the ministry Subserve '"their -worldly and personal interests or the men who werewilliiig to c&unt all things but lost, and not even iTieir osfn^'ves dear unto thera so-»that they might but glorify God and promote ^he interests of his cause.— The most striking trait in the character of the a^stolitf ministry was their -vrilHngfless to give ap<i!l for ehr is t . They lived not to tfiem-seh-es btit to the 'glory of him wha died for tbera. „

Think TOU, my beloved brethren, that there ,is no danger of some tuischfef coining upon Tis from the state of diings to which I have re-fe r red ln the foregoing remarks?

V. Oar duty in the case.-1. We shonld'attach supreraftimportanee to

God's truth. If we hold the tratJi as it is in Jesus Christ, •-we shoold 'seek to prtMnote the

This Ass.iciation met^i^rayetteville in coa-neciion with the Nurtl^-daroliaa Baptist Stale Convention, on Sat-urdJ^^efbre the 4th Sab-bath ID October. was a very in-teresting one, but owinlfet^the ftbsence of the Treasurcr, 'we were n^^^Ble to obtain accurate sLRiistieal reports of i b ^ extent of its opera-tions.

3d. We .should mo.-t ardently pray for the s-access of our instuuduns and ministers, thai God would not only make thern tlu- means of training the mind, bu-t also that of converting the sou! that they might send o-jf herali.'s of the pure word of (iotl into llie leyion ol' uncultivated territory in our country, into die ilark places oi the eartli that are full of the habitiv,i..r.s of cruelty. One melancholy fe.- i „ ^p^^ ^ffeclion.^ ture in the Bethel Association i tljat there is i scarcely to be found a young man who is as- I ptring to tho ministry. iio-<t uf t!io.«e prej^?ni ; to day have been long in the field.

And it should be tor of deep concern with the clturches who are here to-day, who shall till their pul-pits and-occnpy their places after they are gone to tJieir rest in heaven. We should enquire is there a young man in our churches whose du-ty it is to preach the gospel. Urge upon such lo enter the work—give up ali for Christ— participate in those labors which under God will secuee the harve.st of the wnj-ld. There is much to be d..ne and but little time to do it in. Souls are perishing for the bread of life We should work while it is day, the dark night of duat'n will soon come in which no man can work.

CtiroHna; and second, the purcliase or pnhli cution and distribution of rehgious and denom-inational b.^oks. They have been lab.-)rirg to ob;ain a fund of some three or four diousand dollars to invest pertuanendy in ihe^e objects, and to employ colporteurs to sell the books nt such prices as will enable them to constandy repay the original outlay. The p'..T.n is good. They will do a great and glorious work.. They are doing it already.

Tlie Society made an appropriation of one hun.lied d.jilars to us from the smnll amount of fiinds which they had 01 band at the Conven-tion. They v.ill, I trust, next year, if they continue their agencies, be able to appropriate at 1. ast a d.ousaud. The Old Nerth State is

lowing notice of two protracted ratetin'?: At a protracted meeting held with the Wood-

lawn Cimrch, Haywood County-, Tena., com-mencing Sat-jrday before the 3d Lord's day in Augu.st, 1864, v.-e enjoyed a seas-jn of refresh-ing from the pre.sence uf the Lord; and we re-ceived at the close of the meeting, and a few days after, 21 by baptism. The writer was assisted by a gooHly number of ministering brethren on that oeca.sion.

Also, on Saturday .before the lib Lord sday iu the same month, apiotracted meeting com-menced with the Eiim Church, Lauderd-ile County, Tonn., at the cl-jse of which 19 were added by baptism, and 4 or .5 mor. stand ap-proved [or- baptism. Tiie writer was assisied in this meeting by the ministering brethren in the vicinity, for ali of which he would say with the Psalmist. "Bless the Lor ! O my soul, and all that is within me bless his holy name."

I h.'vve not mentioned the names of the mir.-isters who as.sisted at these meetings, lest after the lapse of time and the remote di,-.tance where this is -written porne r-oi^ht be omiiled.

Oh, how I l.)ve to see such tokens of devotion to

i ihi- cause of Christ. One aged brother, also j a mechanic, luid having a large family depen-! dent on the labor of his hands, brought with

biiii to the church a fine new family Bible.— "Brethren," said be, " I have no money to give, but vve have another ,BibIe at home, ajid can well spare this.

Bro. .Tamfes,-fir^beloved Presidr-ntof the Society, and able editor of the Biblical Re-corder, immediately paid five dollars for the Bible, and left it in the church. I love the brethren at Raleigh. I wish I could have staid longer wi'h them, but "The King's busi-ness requires Irasle." I was obliged to bid them adieu, and hasten on to Wake Forest College, whither I had s-nt an appointment from the Convention.

I met with many most earnest, warm-heart-ed and working brethren at the Convention. I would gladly mention each of them by name, and tell how- cordially they welcomed me as the representative of Tcnnc.s.^ee, and of the Bible Board, and how readily and heartily they have thus far entered into «!! our plans for furnishing the bread of lifeto the perishing ministers who look to us for the printed word, but my space will not permit ms to speak of them at this time as I desire. Hereafter I hope to be able to tell you more particularly how kin'l, how generous, how efficient each of Uiem has i e e n , and bow efi'ectually they have been our helpees in the work of the gos-p e l .

.Tto: meeting was continued through nine d a p , and resulted ia the profession, and, we trust, the conrersion of twelve souls. "Eigit of these were added to the churcl^. The Pas-tor, Bro. flaile, was a.ssisted by Brethren Dan-irf Smith, J. W. B ^ e n and &. J. Brandon. May thfi-Iiord continue to bless the labors of his people; ^ A . J . B J U J T O O S .

BKOTHF.R GKAVES:—On last S ibbath at the Zion Hill Church, I buried with Chris;, by baptism, 7 willing candidates, and two of that aumb'^r bad given their hands to j.)in the Presbyterians at the dmo of our late protract-ed meeting, that I .give yon notj.-e of, and one Meihodist .'ifter that 'b.ad been a member of that church for m.my years.

I wiil also give <o your Dua;orous readers a brief statement of a singular circuiDstacce that took pl.ace at our protracted meeting a mondi ago. A ladv of considerable intelligence, that had been a member of an anti-Missionary Church for }ears, an/1 now holds a letter of ('.isinission from that church, was pungently convicied and c ime forward to the moura< r'.s beuf.h time af ' e r t ime until the Lord convcT;ed her sc-ui, and'she arose up from the mourner'^ bench shouting glory to (fod in the h'gbest; and when tlie dcor of the chii.'ch was opened she came forward nad joined by esperience, and was baptized. She stated, while tellitg her experience, that at the age of fourteen she bad a very pretty dream after being in trouble about her foul's salvation, and said that she toU her dream to her grand-mother, and that she persuaded h< r ti.at it was reli-gion, and persuaded her to join the church. Sue did so, and she fortber stated that she feared she hatl done wrong in being bap-tized. She then stated that riie WM satis-fied that the Lon! had converted her soul, and

B R O T H E R G R A V E S : — O n Saturday b.fore the ;"id Sabbath in August. F commenced a pro-tracted meeting with the church in the town of West Point. Alone I entoret! the battle, but the brethren ami sisters, (though some-what di.scouragcil on account of ihe lack of ministerial aid,) come up nobly to the resc ue, put on die whole armor, a n l the Lord was trn'v with u- .

On Tuesday Bro. J . P . Kearn cam.- to my assistance, and did the work of a faithful sor vant, wielding the sword of the Spirit ia ihe fear of the Lord of Hosts. And by his faidi-fulness bus greatly endeared 1 imself to the entire church and communitv.

Bro. Robert Hoshall, a young licentiate, rendered valuable a.ssislance in singing ana prayer. He is a precious young brother.— May the Lor.l bl.- s h m. fh.anks be to (iud' who giveiU us die victory through our Lord .lesu-; Christ, for lu re his Satiinic .Miijc^ty had long rsi-ned a sceptered King. But O, liow changed his kiiigdoml Not only tottere i, but crumbled, and w ith a mighty crash fell, whilst o'er its blackened ruins triumphantly rolled t>e car of salvation. The blood s.aineu liaimi r of our ^l.irious king wa\ed its lieslir.g fol.ls o'er the vast nuil.itudes that tlc.oked to the church both day and night, and cries for mer-cy were force<l from the m.ist h irdcned.

The meeting continued for nine d-.ivs and nights widi increased intcrcs:.-

An inciiient occurred thiit 1 rrust relate. An excellent brudier uf the old order became so tiorouglily convinced that it wa.s the work of the Lord, that he went thiou;liou; -J.e con-gregniion e.-^hordng sinners to e^me to Je.sus. At tlie ch.se of die services one night he cam.-to me and said, "Brethren, I have bein out in the hedges end high-ways. Indeed 1 have never witnessed such a general interest, and thank (lod 1 am induced to believe the infiu-enci-s of dial meeting -will not stop wi.h its close." TliB result of the mei ling was 21 conversions and 25 a 'd-itiuns to the church. On till- last .'Sunday of the meeting the n er led 12 w-iRing souls down "into the wii;. i , " the beautiful stream of Bed River, .'-'cverai others remain t.i be baptized next re'.ular 1 o meeting. To God be all die glorv.

After closing on Suntlny nighl, on theTiies-day f.jllowing, assist.ed by Bro. Kern, I cum-liienced a meeting at Union, eight miles west of Searcy, closing on Sabbath, having; Bro Bell with us. Truly the T.nrJ wa- with us lo ble.ss, in slrengtheaing his children, cocvictini,' and converting>-tiinners On Sabbath I buried 4 ill baptism. Some others to be bapdzed at a subsequent meeting', O, truly can we say. "The Lord has dune irreat thin"- for Us. o o ' wh'^reof we are glad."

B K O T H E R (TKAX nsi—I set down to t^ive vou a few items of reMval intelbgence. On the third Sabbnh in July Bro .Sealev commenced a meeting in the lower end of ihis county, which continued fifti (-n davs, die result of which was 25 WeJ-e baptized. Bro. Reaves was with him aM die time. I was with him five days. I then commenced a m-.eiing wiih Bro. Penn in connexion with Providence Church, which lasted ten da) s, and resulted in 6 addiuons to the church Ijy baptism and i by Letter. Bro. Pu aves and Bro. Ramsey was with us a part of die lime.

On the fourdi Sabbath in August, Bro. Scaley commenced .a meeting in connexion with the church at Lebanon, the couniy site of this romit j . Here, was witnessed one of the m<ist disgraceful occurrence dial ever look place in this county, by jn-rsons professing ijod-liness, in order t.j brvak up the meeting. So^n after the meeting commenced, Bru. Sealey commenced washing the Methodi-m off of soiiio. The Methodists took the tdarm, and commenced using efforts lo keep the people fiom the meeting; but they could not keep them away. They then resorted to 1-es and slander, but to little purpose. They thencom-meDC.:d an opposition meetin;/, but God vin-dicated the truth of his word. The result of the meeting was lij ad litions l-i d;e cuurcli by bapti-^m Tn-u more stand approve-J for hap-•jsm; and I think at their nejtt meeting there will be some 5 or 6 more. f h e little church has been greatly strengthened. Toi iod be all the gloi-y. Bro. Eaton was wiih Bro. Sealev four days at the commencement of the meet-ing. 1 was with him Ihe two last days. Bro. Sealey is a bold and fearless advocate of Bible truth. We have two many dme Serving min-isters in oiu country seeking popularity. Go .ahead, Bro.

As OpEi-cjc; SoroHT.—Brother P. T. Hen-derson, though sightless, has long been known as aa acceptable preaclier and P successful teacher of the youth. It is but jost to say that few teachers have taught so long and with such success as Bro. H. He is assisted by his ladywhea his schocl requires. Owing to the ^arseness of the scholastic population in and inrand IferidianviUs where Bro. H. has taught for the past eight or ten years, he has resolved to change his location so soon as a better one can be f lund. A letter addressed to him n.t MeridiaaviKe will receive attention. We most heartily commend him to our common broth-erhcKid everywhere.

ly .b-nie is iliis; In the "special ins t ru ; t ions" i^iven by '.he Bibb- r n i o n " t o the revisory of the En^'-ii.-'h Nev. i ' e s tament , " I find in the tirsl " m -siiucti'-.n" the following expressive word.?; — "Tl .e common Enal ish versi.jn must be the ba . sH of the revision."

1 b.i-'pe Mr. W . had not se, n tl.is "in.struc-t ion" when he made bis speech. To suppose hi.-n igii.Tant of it is mucb. more complimen-u r y to him than to suppose he had kno wledge of it

Ti;. c h a r j e of Mr. W. is, thai revisionists ii;e united with Intidi-Is, Romanists , and all sorts of errorisls, in endeavor ing to deslioy the confidence of the people in the present Engli.sli version, and the first " ins t ruc t ion" of tile Bible- bnion to i'ji revisc-rs is, ih^t the same ver.-ion be made the basis of their revision'— The implication, tuo, of Mr. W . is, lli-it the friends of tiie Union wish their revised ver s;...n to sup-plant the common version. Let us look into this logic. W e are charged with an alt.-mpl I.) dest ioy the confidence of the people in the com.mon English version, and yet we refiuin? this version to be made the basis of ihe revised version. Il seem.s, then, that we wish the people to have no confidence in Ihe basis ot our forthcoming version. And if they have no confidence in the basis of it, they will have no respect for any other portion of it, and tb.us it folbiws, according to the reasoning of o'lr opponents, tha i we are diligently, and at considerable expense, doing what we de.sire the people to have no confidence in! He that can believe this, .let him believe it. He is at perfect liberty to do so, and he is also at liber-ty to relinquish all claim to rationality.

W e certainly wish, Mr. Pre.sidenf, to see the re-,ised version, when it comes out, circulated among the people. We intend to publish it, not fur the benefit of angels, but for the bene-fit of men—men speaking the English lan-gu.age. The dem.and for it, we hope, will be extensive. I t will be regulated by the confi-dence the people have in it. A n d this shows again the ineffable absurdity of the charge tha t we wish to destroy the confidence of the people in the version which is to be the sub-stratum of our revision. But enough on this

oint. I t needs no additional e.Tpo.sure. I proceed to notice the charge of ?ectari.an-

ism.

Referr ing lo tlie Bible Union, Mr. Wilder says; "ILS main object is considered to be the production and circulation of a sectarian Eng-lish version of tbe Holy Scr iptures ." Con-sidered by whom? The opponents of the Un-ion, of course. This opinion of theirs, how-ever, is pe-fcctly gratui tous. There is not the shadow of foundation for it. Do they not know ili.at revisior.ist-s have often said, and still say, " L e t the Word of God be faithfully trans-lated, even if it destroys the distinctive fea-tures of the denominations to which we be • long ." I , Mr. President , am a Baptist, the son of a Baptist , and those who know me best will testify t h a t my fealty to Baptist principles is aliove suspicion, 'i 'et I s tand here and de-clare, in the presence of you all, thatrif a faith-fnl revision of the English Scriptures would destroy the B.aptist denominat ion, leaving it nei ther root nor b ranch , I would say, were it possible, with emphasis equal to Heaven ' s loudes t thunder , " L e t (rod say in our o'wn tongue wlia t l ic has said in I l e b r e w a n d Grei-k." Nei ther Baptists nor others have, or can have, any interest in the espousal and advocacy^of error; T h e motto of every m a n who fears God should be, "THE TRUTH—Tiis wnoLB TRUTU—AKD KOTBISU Dl'T THE TftCTH."

" B u t , " says Mr. Wi lder , " t h e common peo-we are told, demand a sectariiin transla-

t ion." Who tcld Mr. W . this? T h e na tura l mferenco is. that revisionisU have said so. This is new^ to me. 1 have not seen it in any of the

Lmon s publications, nor have . I heard i t in ^ y of the .addresses ot its agents . I go fur-ther I have not heard an inUmation of it in the free converse of the social circle W h e r e did Mr. W . hea r it? where? Echo answers. W h e r e ? .

which you are engaged. H e reijuesled me to send f.>r tho"7V)in(>,.-,vrc linj tist for him. which I will do, with several other names, as many as I can get , and the money, in a sh . i r l t ime I have not been reading yoar paper but for a short time, and am wt •11 pleased with it, and hope < very Baptist in Missi-^sippi will take it, read it, and pnictice its teachings.

If you recoll.-ct, Bro. Graves, about a laonth or so a 'o, I sent you five new subscribers-, for which Tou sent me two dozen of your sermons, headed the "Des i re of all Naf ions . " T h o ^ .sermons I distriliut. d among some of the most prominent PedobaptisLs in my neighborhood, and il has set them, as it were, "al l on fire." They accuse vou of pvi-rv th ing else but a gon.l m.Tr.. prominent Metb..i!i-t mir.isier has taken it upon himself t.i try to reply to it pnb-liely from the pulpit; but from what I ran learn (as I was not the re ) he effected but very little, .•^onv' of them are censuring me f'lr circub t in.g such docum. nts, and threaten m-.'. an 1 say (as 1 am engaged in the mrrcantib" bu^^iness) that, if I endor.ie th.at pamphlet , that they will (jiiit dealing wilh mi-: but 1 tell them (hat 1 believe ibat I ! o ' . t h e ..-ausc of tny Saviour b.-lter than dollars and roiiis.

Bro. Grave-;, I believe ih it the time has coni>' when the Bsptists sh'juld lake a linn nn.l de. ' H tbey w

stand, and manfully con'a-nd f.ir the Iruih of God's v.'ord, as 1 hnnestly bi-

BROTHKE GR.VVES;—Some time ago I noticed m the Tennessee Baptist mention made of a work on baptism which contained some pic-tures of naked men and women. And strange to say tills book was put forth and circulated by people of such fastidious taste tha t they cannot obi-y the command of Christ and be baptized, because baptism administered as it ought to be, they consider an indecent cere-mony. I reckon I have found out where these curious pictures came from. They probably were taken from a bo ik published in England originally by C. Taylor, and called Apostolic Baptism. Taylor got some of bis notions from Robinson. IQ reading Robinson to-day 1 find that Taylor has treated him shabbi ly— stealing from him such material as he thought he could make over and use as dus t to throw into people 's eyes, and leaving the solid and valuable matter untouched. For the sake of th'jse who may admire apostolic baptism and its imitations, let me copy Robinson's remarks respecting the picture. Chap. 17, p. 112:

" E v e r y thing bad a beginning, and there must have been a first artist who introduced emblems of baptism. He thought no d o u b t he should give a jus t notion of immersion (for he co-aid mean no other, as no other was in pract ice.) by placing the lower part of a person in water, ei ther in a river or a bath , and by showing another person pour ing water over the upper part out of thft water ; for what could he mean, except that to baptize was to wet all over, to cover the whole man with wa ter? This rude emblem baa been taken for true history and bapt ism has been supposed to be rightly administered by pouring, though they who plead for this never practice it, and though there is no proof tha t any ancient church ever baptized in this m a n n e r . "

Is this not a correct e.xp!anation? A F E I E N ' D OF T R U T H .

TO BS COHTUnXD.

Any man has a right to do as he pleases, if he pleases to do right.

in the Westei-n land of Arkan.<!as, I witnessed what I never did before, and I give it as a warning to all converts that want to be baptiz-ed never to let a man who does not believe in immersion, lake them, esparially women, into the water . T h e mee ' ing had progressed to FOme interest, and some professions were made, but , however, on Tuesday morning, f rom the appearance of the weather , it was thought best to dismi.ss, and hav ing met for tha t pur-po.se, in the winding u p of the exercise it was announced by the minister that- the ordinance of bapfigm would be at tended to at the edge of the water in a short time. So repair ing to

the edge of Wild C « beaut i fu l liUle s t ream indeed to baptize in, the minister called for the candidates tor come forward. I saw two women present themselves, and a f te r r ead-ing (you know w h a t ) in the Discipline, he be-gan to ask questions as follows; D o you re n o u n c e t h e devU and all h is works, »feo.J b u t they did not k-now w h a t to answer; nnd the ministex in a low tone of 'vo ice said, say " I renounce t h e m a l l , " and i^TJie m a n n e r for all Ihe o ther queit ions; a f te r whioh, one of tbe wo-

preacher immersing for himseii Presbyter ian brothel , who d;d n.e. .=e.-m qui 'e So fond of tlu- mi.Vr —th.'Ugh be bi,,! ao yet, by word, informed hi.- conv erts of his grea t hydrophobia. But af ter receiving as m;iny as he could in any wny. he then at a suhsi juent meeting, let ns know b:s great fear- ,.1' w:i-.-r. and th-it it would not d .i, and held out tb.e idea lhat to be ia imer ied was not only .biiigen.us to the body but extr . 'mely danger-JUs t,. ib.e soul. He then timk a more c.msist.-nt p-i-i ion than has heretofore been taken by any Pedo we have heard or read of. . \ u J that " .-us that e8'a.si.:in was the only Scriptural mode of bap-tism. The tears which he enter.ained :.iid the interest which he fell f.ir his imnu-rse.l di.sci-ples c.aused him to do his best, and his elfort bad the desired etl'eel. Some two or tlirki- ..f the most illiterate of our county wer.- pei'su.-vd-ed that the washing which their brother Melh-odist had given them had endangered lives and suuls. and nothing could set them r i - lu .again but to be pourcl, which n as accuidingly done at an appointed time. We have Uever conversed with the wheedled ones, but sujipose ihey are satisfied wilh their pouring.

We have been frequent ly called o u t as im-mersionists by this same preacher , to uive him one ([uotation from the Bible lo prove immer-sion, and when we did so, we w ere .silenced by the authorit ies which we cunsenti-d to wilh no little reluctance, af ter being called out by his highness the minister , and af ter get t ing him to acknowledge or affii-m that " y o u must be bom of the w a t e r " was a mooted subject.

man ' s influence is the sheet anchor of s.jciety; and this influence is not due exclusively to the fascination of her charms, bu t chiefly to the s t rength , uniformity and consistency of her virtues, manfained under so many sacrifices, and with so much fortitude and heroism.— Without these endowments and riua'.ifications. external attractions are nothing; but wilh them, their power is irresisiible.

Beauty and Virtue are the c rownirg attrib-utes bestowed by na ture upon wom.an, and tbe bounty of Heaven more than compensates for the injustice of man. But it is not the incense of idol worship which is mo.st acceptible to the hear t of a t rue woman; it is, on the contrary, the jus t npprocia ion of her proper position, merits and charac te r , and this d e m a n d s the oblation of no "mewl ing minstrehsy," the abu-lations of " n o whining rhyras ter , with his school-boy song . " Ever t rue to her dest iny, and es t imat ing at iheir real value the h igher perfections of h u m a n na ture , when brought in-to contrast with wha t is puerile and r idicubjus, woman surpasses m a n in the quickness of h t r perceptions and in the r ight dJrcction of h t r sympathies. And" this is just ly due to her praise, t ha t the credit of h t r acknowledged as-cendancy is preserved amidst th* increa.sed and increasing degeneracy of man.
