For a testament is of force afler men are dead. Otherwise it is.of no forco at all while tJie tesUtor liveth—Heb. Oth chap., 16th and 17th verses.

thus proffered by you I requested you to pro duce; and when that was done I would reply to / o u r charges against me personally. But as the proof in question has not appeared I have thus Tar omitted giving any attention to your charges against mo. I did hope you would produce from Crosby the passage, on which you relied to substantiate your novel position* as above stated. The task, however, I am cer-tain you cannot perform. Your theory is a simple absurdity. Infant baptism among baptist.! who ever heard of such a thing? The moment a Baptist admits the validity of infant baptism he is unmade and cea*>s to be a Baptist. You might as well attempt to prove the denial of infant baptism by Pcdo-baptist .! I shall say no more on this point

In my own defence I will merely say, thai I am freely convinced that the abortion. « The true origin of that sect, which acquired the denomination of Anabaptists, Ac., is hid in the remote depths of antiquity," i» a genu ino ami indisputable historical fact, howover much you may disbelieve it. You seem to mtiratfe tfrat Maclaine's version of the Latin text of Mo.heiui has a leaning t<» the Bap tist side, and that the rendering of Murdock of thojsame passage, which is inure brief .nd less explicit, is less favorable to that side While jthe fact is, all three of the church his-torians in question were our decided oppo-nents. Mosl^eim was a Lutheran, Maclaine a Presbyterian, and Murdoch a Congregationa-list. Bat we do not lo.k to eithor of those men to scttlo the point for or against the antiqui-ty of oar distinguishing principles. A chain of witnesses, through the wide r.nge of ec-clesiastical history, confirm. our claim, to a very hjgh origin. And the more fully the matter , is investigated the more clearly it appear* that tho riots at Munster were pro-moted jby Lutherans, and not by the Ana-baptists, who gloried in the name of uxapon-l'u Christians, aud who would neither light for themselves nor for the State. This anti-war principle is still adhered to by the Men-npnitesj their descendants. This aversion to

tho bearing of . rms waa peculiar to the ojd WaldcHsian Christians in .11 their brancht**, from whom the German Anabaptists de-scended, and continued to be until so/nejjf them wore drawn into the horrid business of war by, those fighting Reformer., who fiid great discredit to the Chri.tian cause by wh.t were callcd the ProtesUnt wars.

Rela^ivelo the two translations.in ques-tion, ami my preferenoo for t W of Moelajne ove^ that of Murdock, which .eemato be the burden of your complaint against mc. 'snd the thing for which you accuse me of acting the part of n dishonest historian, I would* simply fay, that my'quotation of the passage «n dispute WHS made in my old .Baptist His-tory about fiftj years ago, and was trarfs-ferrid tp my second edition; whereas Mur-dock u work came out about a quarter of a century; since, Maclaine's translation was mado about a hundred years ago. I t haa paa«ed <hrough different editions in the hands of Pedobaptist editors, and you are the first man, to my knowledge, who haa ever de -puted the ^correctness of the parage now nndet consideration.

Dark^eu is the proper meaning of the old U t in Urm tentbrarum, and by applying it iu hi. account of the origin of the Anabap-tiats, Mosheim evidently meant to oonvey the ide^ thai, hbtorioally speaking, it wa. htd in a,darkness whieh ho eould not pe trste. For. aa*. ka u . l l . » I _ _ J . - -

tion met before. In Acts the 15th cli.nt.. .nd iir Acts 6th chap., you .see where the Deacons of tho church, are the treaaurer* to supply the wants of tho poor of each church, and the minister's table as well as the sacramcnt for all tables are included, they

| being men of honest report. But the delegates to the Associations are \o carry up the money voted by the churches to the Associations for the spread of the Gospel, and ready in the hands of the Association, with delegated power from each church to apply the money to the purpose, that each church may desig-nate through her letter. "Then whenever a man of (Jod believes that he is callcd to go and preach the unsearchable riches of Christ at home or to Ifcathen lands, let tho Asso-ciations!* empowered to supply all his wants. This plan will be the means of calling out men from every portion of the country where associations are held. Let each association be our board. This plan will bring the re sponsibility more immediately on each church, and as*thc Holy Spirit operates through the means laid down in the Now Testament, whenever wo nro made a willing people in the day of His power—when we bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in His house, then hhall we receive the promised blessing. "Prove me now here-with, saith the Lord of Hosts, if I will not open you the windows of Heaven, and pour you out a blessing, thai there shall not be room enough to receive it." And those churches that have no pastors, if they would meet every Sabbath in their own house, and carry up their contribution, and read the Wold of God and pray. jitnd each one tell his or her foeling^ would'likewise be blessed.

This -portion was stricken out by that committee, who had the power to supprew.or " withhold" any portion of a report however important or " eemstituiionar it might be, and their decision was a finality.

Upon finding the report thus chang.d be-fore it had ever been read, either for recep-tion. or adoption, and, it being given .trictly in charge to read it, omitting the erawd por-tion, I considered it the report of the com-mittoo offering it, of which I was not a mem-ber, and asked my name stricken off as chair-man.

Why it wan that this committee wished to expunge this recommendation, I h.ve never been able to understand.

If I did not km#} the men, I might think this an expression of their feelings. But this I cannot think.

I also feel confident, that the Association would havl sustained the report, with all its recommendations. There would have been bwt very few dissenting voices, if »ny. And

independent of the churches, woula enable the Board to strengthen weak churches and lo send the Word of Life to thow who are in the region andfchadow of death. This small sum from each Baptist in North Mis-.issippi would m.ke thjs org.ni«ation . i U C

eesa. And this amount ean and ought to be rauetl.

Many brethren and friends will doubtleM give much more than the small sum of forty cents per year. And this excess together with what may be collected at the variou. an-

i,a«lf.!Ttine,', WiU p*rh,p# •WeI1 ^ »ttou°t •10,000 more. And surely if we lay claim to one dollar from every member in North Mi«,-s,ppi, can they, will they refuse i t? We think not. Thus much ought to be done •nd it can be done, if every pastor and mis-monary or some brother in every church will brinft this matter before his people four time., . year, and after explaining the objects of the Aswciation, ask for at least ten cents from each, and scntl the amount to the Bbard at Grenada.

In conclusion, your Board would suggest that each district as.oci.tion provide for a mass meeting, to cmbrace cach 6th Sabbath

sociation may be fully discussed, and contri* buttons solicited for tho promotion of its object..

mt££mASaocIATION or *°*T H

* * * * * With .thi. account of the past, your Board would submit tfce following for the ftiturc consideration .ud action of the Association:

THE TERRITORT TO RE OCCCPIBD. This Association comprises a vaat, fertile

and inviting field, covering an area of not less titan 2,1,000 square miles, teeming with a population of not less thau 300,000 .oul. , among whom are a Baptist brotherhood of more than 20,«H)i», embracing about one doxen district association?. A nd, in the 20 or more counties contained in our territory, quite a number of them lie wholly or in part, in the Mississippi .wamp,and form the very garden spot of the whole cotton growing region. Tunica, Coahoma, Boliva, Sunflower, Waah-ington, Issaquena, and a considerable portion of other counties in the same section, art certainly unsurpassed for productivenww, even by the famous valloy of the Nile ilwlf. And yet, these couuties which are to be the future homes of our children and grand-children, when these bill, shall have been worn out ind washed away, are deatitute of th* Word of Life. In them we may find many grown up to manhood who never heard of the glorious (act, that Chri.t Jeau . came into tho world to rave sinner.! 8ball ' they not have tho Gospel ?

But this i . not the worst feature I. The Greeks are at our very doors! In the hill country where are our homes and fireaides is a lamentable destitution. None of the more important place., a . Hen.ndo, Holly Spring., Corinth, Oxford, Orenada, Carrollton, Lex-ington, Pontotoc, Okolona, Ac., have preach-ing more than twiee a month. They are one half deatitute. But few communities have preaching more than once a month. They are three-fourth. de.titute. Many have no preaching; they . ro wholly, and 'may be, criminally destitute. To say nothing of the'

doubts about their baptism; they are n w troubled by fears thut perhaps I may not have been baptised. They may have many doubts and fears, but none about their bap-tism. But it cannot be truly said that Bap-tist. . r e as free a- other people. Th.y are under a monarchical form of religion. The most learned doctor amongst them is not al-lowed n voice in making laws to govern them religiously. There is one King among U>em. and all have consented that he shall be their only law-giver. The Baptist church govern-ment is an absolute monarchy.

No other religious community in our land can be properly called a monarchy—they may be called an oligarchy or an aristocracy. There is more than one voice to bo heard iu | L |

their law-making department. The Baptists ever since, may not do as they please; they arc to cpn-suit their King as to what they preach; they must consuk him .is to whom thoy shall bap-Use and how he shall be baptized./ You see under this kingly form of government they cannot give a man choico of two or three forms of baptism. The fact ' i . the Baptists are shut up to believer>^mmer.ion by the authority of ther king. If it were a fact

eer to perform that duty, we hold that Dr. i. rawford, and no other mortal, has the ri^hi to call an extra session of the Revision As*o nation. •

We do not know Out i t is absolutely n.ces aary that an extra meeting should be callod especially as w« arc approaching the regular anniversary in April. But we insiat^upon it. that the Board of Managers have,nothing whatever to do with called meetiops or an-

Remington, wrote to him urging its appointment in Louisville , We decided against these re quest, and appointed it in Nashville; and I have his /private letter written to me. in whicn he gives his reasons for this decision The Association accordingly met at Nash-yill^ aud there adjourned to meet in St Louis.

from a distance. I appeal to Dr. Crawford, and to the Bap

list press South to appoint the next mooting to he held at Atlanta, G«., or . t some other central point iu the South, and urge the friend, of Revision to .(tend it.

But, however this may be. the President rayst appoint the place. No one but he has t h . right. And we trust W w i l f f e e f i t hi. duty to designate the place at an early day. J '
