The Be- deaner in reply, paying no attention to the compU- ment of Nioodemns, instructed him as to the nature ind the necfflsity of regeneration. The subject, howerer, was involTed in mysterious and impene- trable daAness. Nicodemus inquired with amaze- ment, "How can these thmgsbeV a question equal- ly inicative of astonishment and incredSlicy- His incredulous surprise did not deter the great Teach- er fimn uttamg with solemn emphasis the words of the text, "Te must be bom again." Let us con- sider, I. THB SAxraa OF REiJENTaunoK. The idea of renoration implied in the term re- generation does not pertain primarily to the physi- cal nor to the intellectual faculdcs. The regenerat- ed man haa the same bodily conformation aller this dbango as before. His mental peculiarities remam. The inteflect considered abstractly, like the bsdy, 13 afiected only so 6 r as the moral powers exert an influence OTET it. This leads me to remark that regeneration Is a moral or spiritual change. I call 2 a spnitual change not merely because it is pro- duced by the Spirit of God, is I intend to show, but because it tafces place in the spirit of the sab ject The heart is the theater of the operation, and the rerolntion eflected there invokes the illu- mrhatjon of the Understanding—the consecration of fliB ifiections—and the rectification of the will. To use PanTs language, '-'the eyes of the understand- ing c a enlightened." -You were once darktiess, UB now light in the Lnnl." The ifTcctions of liEaiamewed soul are placed on unworthy objects • nddeare to them with a tenacity as desperate as - (igiiity is dreadful. Ther^ is no r e l ^ for spirit- ual objects- There is no admiration of holiness— There is no appreciation of moral esceHency. There ism tore to Gcd. The affections are so alienated from him as to be irreclaimable by any human means, by sinning sundered the golden chain that bound him to the throne of God, but he cannot ns-nnite the broken links of that chain. Regenera- fion recalls the affections frotn unworthy objcrts and placra them supremely on the ever blessed Jehovah —enshrines them in bis infinitely perfoct character. "Every one that laveth is bom of God."' This love is an unquestionable proof of regeneration. Thfi will of the unregenerate is perverse- It conflicts with the win of God- It chooses sin and rejects . hdiness—it choores cursing aad death rather than blefflimr and life. Its obliquity is in regeneration overcome and rcctifiod—its perverted action is ar- rested and changed. -'Thy people shall be in'ffing in the day of thy power."' Regeneration causes the will of the creature to coincide with the will of the Creator. It is God who works'm man "to will and to do of his good pleasure." The will of the regenerate having bem changed by divine grace g ^ y chooses the objects on which the consccrated »aectian3 are placed. The definition to be given of regeneration must depend on the point of moral observation we occu- IJ. If, for example, i^a contemplate the sinner as the enemy of God, regeneration is the subdual of his enmity and the crcation of love in its stead. If ve considBr the sinner the "child of the devil," rc- gsnention is the change which makes him the "child of God." If we regard tha unregencratc as totally tetitate ol the moral Imag? of God, regeneration cansiBts in stamping that image upon them. Or ii we view than as "dead in trespasses and sins," re generation is the impartation of divine life- Thus various definitions, not conflicting but harmonious may be given of regeneration according to the pranta of moral observation of which we avail our- Mlves. IL THB SKzsaixr OF EEnErEEAxins". This part of the subject has been somewhat an- ticipated in what has been said of the depravity of our nature; for it is depravity that renders regene- raSon necessary. Depravity hxs separated man ton God—has product alienation. How is a re •"fflai to b e b r ^ h t about? There must be re- umanil nan. ia ever saTcd. And as Ihe two par- ties, God and man, are at variance, a change must take place tn one, or boih of the parties, before there can be reomdliatian. But God is unchapge- ihls. The change must, therefore, if it occur at aU, accnr in man. Do jpu not see the necessity of re- geaention? It is a? necessary as ths salvation of the soul is desirable; for there can be no salvation witlimit reconciliation with God. The necessity of regeneration also appears in the fictthatwithont it we cannot become the children of God. Those who are new creatures in Christ Jeaa have been "bom not of bloo'l, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. ' Being bom of God is essential to our p.irtaking of Ma nature, and this participation of his nature is fflipEsd m oar being his children, "That which is of the Spirit U spirit"—that is, partakes of the Mtnrs of its Author, If we cannot become UiE chadrBu of God independently of regeneration; how important is regeneration. Language cannot gfn Ma adequate descriptioa of its importance.— The n e c H ^ of regeneration Is likewise apparent, Jwcinae the anregeijsrat3 cannot enter heaven, and if thty could they would be miserable there. It is one of the fundaiuDntal laws of social existence, that we cannot bo happy in the society of one an other unless there be similarity of disposition. On the 0 ^ hind, aocial happiness results from con- Pniaiity of feeling. We see this principle illoa- tiated every day. We see it in the gay assemblies ^ the loTOiB of pleasure. We see it in the vulgar eWHBiIa of the dissip»fed. We see it in the com- - PMriBBof the educated and inteHectnal. We see H when Oie people of God 'ineet and take sweet coun- together. Inall these instances there is simi- tey of feeling, congeniality of topoation.

The Anrnoa op hbgkkkbattos. Who accomplishes this work? It is effected t y divine agency. The phrase "bom of God," is of frequent occurrence m tha Bible. We have also the expression "bom of the Spirit." No language could mora clearly indicate the kind of ageney em- ployed in regeneration. The Spirit of God alone can renew the soul. It is his prerogative to quick- en—to ^ve li£B.-_ All is d«ath in the moral world without his influence. What breath is to animal' life, that his operation is to spiritual life. ' It is the Spirit that quickjneth." "And you hath he quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins."' ' God who is rich in mercy, for his great love where- with he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ: and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus." Taul saysof the Corinthians, "Ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart." The same Apostle, after informing us that those who "are in Christ are new creatures—that old things have passed away and all things have become new"—immediately adds, "and all things are of God-"' Regeneration is in several passages of Scrip- ture referred to under the imagery of creation.— .\nd who but God possesses creative power! Who but he can bring some'hing out of nothing? To create is his inalienable prerogative, and it is also his inalienable prerogative to regenerate, Ila says himself. ' 1 will give yon a new heart, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh." In the new covenant he says, "I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts." It is evident from all these pas- sages that theTCgenerate are "born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of Gal." The agency in the work of regenera- tion is obviously and assuredly divine. IV. Tna KEAKs OP The instrumentality employed is the gospel, the tmth of God. This is a controverted point. Some argue that God renews the soul without the inter- vention of means. I think differently. Observe the following passages: "In Christ Jesus have I be gotten you through the gospel." ' Of his own. will begat be us with the word of truth." -'Being bom again not of corruptible seed but of incorruptible, by the word of God which liveth and abideth for- ever,"' '-The sword of the Spirit which is the word of Gt)d." It seems to me that the first three of these Scriptures prove positively the instrumental- ity of divine truth in regeneration, and the last passage indirectly establishes the same point. For if iho word of God is the instrument which the Spirit employs, why does he not employ it in regen- eration? Can any one assign a good reasonT There is a sense in which we arc bora of the Spirit of ( jo<1. and also a sense in which we are bom of the word of God. The agency of the Spirit and the instru- mentality of the word are indicated by the two forms of expression. God uses means in the nat- ural world, and why should he act on a ditl'creni principle in the moral? Ue docs not. The gift oi' the Bibla and the institution of the gospel ministry prove that he does not. I suppose the Spirit of God in regenerating the heart makes use of truUi pre- viously lodged in the tmderstanding. The word of God presents the motives which the same Agent employs in influencing the heart. The Spirit alone can render the means elTectual. What can means do without an Agent to use them' REMARKS. 1. Wc IcLira from this subject the depravity of the heart: 2. We leara ako man's inability to change bis own hearL 3.

Gen." And states that this Act is dated 21st Apnl, 1G49, when Lord Baltimore was in the zenith of his power. He also calls upon Mr. .8t«vens to show the law by which religious toleration was est|^li8faed, and reminds him that in his chronology he had made a mistake of some 30 years, and at the same time as- sures him that the issue is not one of dates—that^ if he will shDw that Slarytand, under Lord Balti- more, was (vcr a free government, cither before Rhode Island or afier, he will tneet the issue satis- factorily. To this, Mr. Stevens in a second letter replies, by re-aascrting%is ^ i t i 6 n , that "the Catholic colony of Maryland organized under the auspices of Lord Baltimore, was the first to establish the principle of free toleration in religious worship on this conti- nent;" and attempts to prove this by quotations from Bancroft and Cirimshaw; which Mr. Tucker in his third letter shows have already been referred to by himself in his Urst letter, lie also accuses Mr. Stevens of resorting to the ar^mentnm aii kominem, and tells him that the only original thing in hia Ut- ter is the reference to Gnmshaw. Mr. Tucker had said in his first 1 :ter. ' I know that historians, and For tlie TenneBHee Baptiflt. Kcil^toni Libfrty In .noryland. Oi-a attention has recently been directed to a pamphlet of 3G pages, which every Baptist in the world ought to obtain, read, and circulate. It con tains the letters of Hon. A. H. Stevens, of Georgia, and Rev. H. H. Tacker, of Richmond, Virginia, on Religious Liberty. By sending ten cents, or thir- teen cents, to Rev. Samuel Bryant, AUanta, Ga., a copy may be obtained through the mail. It seems that in a political speech made in Augusta, Georgia^ by Hon. A. H. Stevens, Lord Baltimore was men- tioned as having been the first to establish a gov- ernment on the principle of Religious freedom, on this continent. Mr. Tucker joins issue with Mr. Stevens on this question for two reasons. '-First, because it gives credit to one who does not deserve it. Secondly, because it fakes away that credit from one who dna deserve it. Lord Baltimore was not only not the first to found a free govcmmcnt, but be never founded such a one at all, nor did any of his puccc^rs who inherited his title! The pio- neer in the cause of religious liberty on this conti- nent was not a Catholic, but a Baptist; not Lord Baltimore, but Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island." Mr. Tucker then proceeds, by referring to histor- ical documents, and to the laws of the respective States, to prove these two proposiUons, which he does fatisfactorily to any candid mind. Mr. Stevens thus replies to Mr. Tucker '•The issue you join with me about Lord Balti- more amounts to nothing. What I said in my speech in Augusta is strictly trae, as I understand the his- tory of the country. The Catholic colony of Mary- land organized under the auspices of ^ r d Balti- more was the first to atahlish the principle of free toleration of religious worship on this continent.— What jou say of Roger Williams is also equally trae, Ue was the first ckampon of this pnnaple. He then disclaims any wish to-do the least injustice to Williams, or any desire to defend Romanism, but expresses the desire to defend'soti;-Ubcrty'--a pnn- ciple lying at the foundation of our happy institu- tions, which the Cathobcs on.this continent, so far from being opposed to, were the first to adopt. In a rejoinder, Mr. Tucker thus addresses 5Ir. Stevens: "You tell me that the issue between ns 'amounts to nothing.' What it 'amonnts to' is just this: Did 'Livd Baltimore establiA r d i ^ u a toleration on this continent? You affirm that he did, and that he was the first to do it. I deny that he ever did it at all." Whether this issue aoooots to nothing an intelli- gent pubKc.wiH d m d e ^ p r o W l j has alrfody de- cided." He then proceeds to copy fiaonj the latra of Maryland, the csae which states that "Denying the Holy Ti^iity is to be pimished with death, &c.; even tho.se from whom I quote, (Bancroft and Kil- dreth.) catching the popular breath, sometimes tfpeik of l.ord Baltimore a-i the first to estabhsh re- ligions liberty, but these very historians modify these expressions, and indeed cancct them, by nar- rating the facts above set forth—facts which inval- idate h!.i claims, and those of all his successors. He now reminds -Mr. Stevens that the expressiona he had quoted were contradicted by the historian himself in the fact that he tells us that the religions hberty of which he speaks was only partial, and tells him also that he seems to forget the counter siatement.s of Bancroft, such, for example as the following: • Freedom of conscience, unlimited free' dom of mind, was from the first the trophy of the Baptists. ' And the statement of Hildreth, "In Rhodf Island, frtcdom of faith and worship was assured to all -the first formal ami le^al esla^'lish- mcnt of relitrinti-: tibcrlii ever prom-ilgateil, trhetker III Enrn-pc or Amrncn. ' He also states to Jlr. Stevens that he took good care not to quote from the oath administered to the first Goveraor of Maryland—'-that he would not directly or indirectly molest any person professing to helicic in Asits Cknst, for. or in respect of, reli- gion.' But suppose the person were a Jew, wonld ihe oath of the Governor prevent him from perse- cuting him if he saw fit! Mr. Tucker then asserts that if historians utter contradictory statements we must fall back upon the /iicf j, upon which they baeo their statemKnts. Ue tells Mr. Stevens that he had juoted opinia/is from Bancroft, and scmetKiiig from Grim.shaw and a.-ks him if he had affirmed that such and such a thing was part of the statute law of Georgia, and if this statement had been denied, if he would thmU it a proper reply to refer his op- ponent to (ii-inishaw's History," or White's Sta- tistics—that with <>qual propriety he might have luoted .Ksop's falilfS. If religious liberty was es- tablished in Maryland, it was done by law. Mr Tucker cills for that law, after quoting from Green- leaf—the rule of law, which is that the best evi- dence of which the ease, in its nature, is susi'epti- hle, shall ho required. The rule for ascertaining the law of other State.s. i.s, that the law itself shall be produced, or an authenticated copy This ruU' is a lup'.ed for the prevention of fravA; for wht-n it is ap; arcnt that lictter evidence is with- held, f I .' fair to prrsuTTie that the party had some 5in?--rer miifirc f'<r not pro<t<umg ft: and that if of- fcrf.l hii ilcsivni i-o-ilil he fmstratrd." He accuses Mr. Stevens ol giving secondary evidence, when primary evidence was at hand, and tells him that he intends spending some portion of his time m teaching those who make statements, tha trath of which cannot be proved, that when those statements detract either dircctly or indirectly from the honor of the Baptist denomination, they cannot be made with impunity. Mr. Stevens does not reply to this third letter, well aware that "the better part of valor is discre- tion." He retires ingloriously from the field of con flict. Mr. Tucker deserves the thinks of every true-hearted Baptist for the able manner with which he has handled the subject. Although Mr. Stevens had dropped it, and withdrawn, ho still continues to discuss the subject in six more letters, in which he shows conclasively that Maryland was no home for religions liberty under the administration of Lord Baltimore and his immediate descendants, and that to the Baptists belong the honor of having first clearly and boldly proclaimed to the world the doc trine of "soul-liberty." If we had not exceeded the limits we had assigned to ourselves, we should be glad to give an analysis of the remaining letters. Suffice it to say, that ample justice is done to the subject by the author. The little pamphlet deserves to live. If the Baptists of this country suffer it to pass away and be forgotten, they will deserve the contempt of mankind. It is time that a stop should be put to tho incorrect statements respecting the history of the j)a.st—statements which do not be- stow honor where honor is fully due. We would not encourage among Baptists a spirit of vain glorious boasting -but we would urge upon them the cultivation of a proper self-respect. Our past history is one of which we may be justly proud. Let u-s never forget it. TRITH. Miu For Ihs TenneauK Bo|>tiit. aod Dcacon't Mfetlng. Jaly, 186«/- MinistOT tokitend: H. R. Bray, C.

It is such germs ar ' tiuds of pro.scription which have, in times past. Lon.soliditcd pov.crin Associations, and led to many a direful Ecclr- -asti- cal tragedy, in which, we a.s a denomination, have greatly suffered. An A.s-sociation may withdraw its fellowship from an heretical or di-sorOcrly church, but let churches try their own members for heresy or disorder. But in neither case let us spread our wror gs or our shame before a ccnsorious wcria through the columns of a wiJc-sprcad jonr-il. or trouble our brethren of the press w th puerile i|uc- riesabout what i.-f or is not Scriptural authority.— We have Mc,=es and the Pmphet.s -lisus Christ and the Apistles, let a^ hear them.

Dear Brothke. Gb.wes;—Whilst we would not like to give op our ^-Religious thrabl," for any other paper, we are thoroughly convinced that the Baptists need precisely such a paper as yours, [in addition to their paper, we suppose Bro'her E means.] Truth is aggressive, as well as defensive, and it should go forward with power and speed — This is not a dead, but living age, and everything is in motion. Onward is the itord'.'. The name of the Editor of the Tennessee Baptist, is about as frequently mentioned in Virginia as that of any other man. This is done because like Luther he fearlessly opposes errctr and defends the truth.— We are happy, however, to know that there ore some master minds in the 19th century, as well as the IGth. The church must be reformed, for gro.ss errors are so ming'ed with the traths of the gospel that the temper and lives of professing christians are not what they should be. The doctrines of Christ are perverted, and the commandments of men are substituted in their place. "The Great Iron Wheel," though it has kindled an angry fire in the bosoms of many, is doing a mighty work in our midst. It is being circulated and read exten- sively. Some time ago, in a town not far distant atone of the most popular hotels in it, I saw a man intentiy engageii reading a book. Desirous of of some thirty or forty-tivo degress, and found that knowing what it was, I inclined my head to an angle it was - T h e Grtal Iron Wheel." Soon after, whei traveling on the cars, I saw a book on one of the pa.sscnger's seats, and soon I found that it was "The Great Iron Wheel'' Thus you see that this notable book is putting up at hotels 2nd taking pas- sage on the cars, and is now finding its way into the villages and hamlets of Western. Virginia. It is traversing over mountains, and is carried into our vallies, and soon, all (who read at all) will have given it a perusal, (some e.xceptions of course).— And what will be the result? Prejudice, passion, animosity and a belligerent sfjirit will be excited in some, when t h ^ have the truth made so.plain that they are compelled to see it. Why? Because the truth will be seen to their own shame, confu- sion and condemnation. Bat with the truly pious and morally courageous, there will be many con- victions of wrong, conversions to right, and public confessions, haptisms ice cmjeciitre will net be Knfreipient. Soon we hope to see scores and hnn dreds, who tmly love God, and still are in error, turning to jighteoosness and Christ. Popish in- novations will .be set a ade, human rites will be re- jected, infant bapUsm and sprinkling will be abol- ished, and t ^ that are for the Lord will be on OUT side. Mas darkness be dispelled and light be intnduttd. Yours fraternally, Alksasdek Ecbajtes. Libfrty, Virginia, Ahnk Slit, 1856.

In leaving the Presbyterian Church,' and attaeh'mg myself to the BaptistJI had no object in view, but to do what I conceived to be my conscientions duty, and was prompted by no ether motive than that to glorify God. I come to these condu^na from a careful, and prayerful, investigation of the word of God. I could find no satisfactory authority for -Infant Bap- tism,' nor for any other water Baptism, save that of "immersion."

It appears that lie has studied the matter so closely that he is able to give its "equivalent," viz: for an individual who joins the Presbyterian Church, to became convinced of his error, and then join the "Baptist Church. ' Is not this what he virtually says-in hia abuse. "Wonderful man, the Ecv, 'William S. Langdon no wonder he is a I>.

But it is the docfene of that Church to which I object, and cann* siibseiibe, so I have met with persecution from wnroe, save that of the ' Editor of the Banner P Pieace," althoagh he guaranties my way clear- ted the most objectionable ous letter, as they Incop^tho lettw, with Bio.' Halrattan. Salvationl Blessed be God that our fallen earth has heard the joyful sound! It is unheard in hell! Reader blesseil be the grace that brought it to your ears. Multitudes of man's family arc strangers to it. But thricc blessed be the Spirit's love, if it is the sweetest melody which charms you—tho loud- est note by day and by night of your unwearied praise! To mnltitndcs it is a toneless cymbal. Salvationl It peoples the many maiisions of our heav£nly kingdom. It is the bliss of the ever blisf- ful. It is the joy of the ever joyful. It is the happiness of the ever happy. It is the song of the ever singing. It is the peace of the ever peaceful. It is the rest of the ever resting- It is the glory of the ever glorified. Oh my soul! see to it that you are saved. Salvation! It is a roll written by Jehovah's pen. It is the decree of divine cotmcils, the fruit of omni- scient mind, the first txira of unmeastircd love, the perfection of eternal thought, the strength of Om- nipotence. It is the fabric which every attribute of God erected with concurring hand; in which eve- ry Ftone is brought by mercy, and shaped by wis- dom, and l i d by grace; in which there is aodiJ'cct —no blemish, no decay. It is th« soul built um- ple which will rise and shine in the growing splen- dor, throngh all ages. Oh my fionl! see to it that you are saved. Salvation! It is the work for which Jssuswaa bora in Bethlehem, and hved on earth, and died at Calvary, and descended into the grave, and burst the bonds of death, and mounted to Heaven and sits at the right-band of ("rod.—For this he drank the deepest cup of wrath and torment For this he grappled with all tbe powers of darkness. It is the work for which the Spirit seeks our earth, and knocks at the barred entrance of the sinner's heart. For this he as-sanlta the fortress of self-love and reveals the perils of sin, and wrestles with ignorance and vain excuses- For this he strives until the arms of rebellion fall, and the con- trite soul flees to the Cross and embraces Jesus— the arisen Savior, and shelters in the sure refuge of his words. Oh my soul! tee to it that you are saved. Salvation! It is the first message which mercy uttered to a ruined world. It is the end of every prophecy, the purport of every precept, the beauty of every prtjmise, the trathofevcry sacrifice, the mib- stance of every rite, the song of every inspned lip^ the longing desire of every rrncwcd heart, the bea- con which guides throngh the Toyagi: of life, the haven to which the tides of grace convey, the end of faith, the fun light of hope, the lume of love. Oh my soul ace to it that you are saved. Salvation! It is the absccnce of this blessing which builds the pri-son house of hell: which kin- dles the never quenched fires; winch forges the eternal -chains which wraps the dreary regions in one mantle of darVfieBrr, which gives keermsss to the imdyiDg. worm; wUch blows up the smoke of torment^ wHch adds the bitterness of dsspair to the hopeless w ^ ' Oh my soul! bk to it that you are saved.-I/enry tmr, Arckbiih^ of Wells.

J**®-'" ^ ' j h f iif*^™' tetwccn Jcsoa Christ and Nicodo-•^Uj^ i i se to one of-lbe most interesting and jjgiii^liil conreTSitinns rccarded in the Bible. <00 later of the Jews went to the SiTior by night Bdiecostfd him in respectful language, saying— ujljjter, WB kiiow that thou art a teacher come fiom Go^ for no man can da these miracles that thoa doest, except God be with him.'" The Be-deaner in reply, paying no attention to the compU-ment of Nioodemns, instructed him as to the nature ind the necfflsity of regeneration. The subject, howerer, was involTed in mysterious and impene-trable daAness. Nicodemus inquired with amaze-ment, "How can these thmgsbeV a question equal-ly inicative of astonishment and incredSlicy- His incredulous surprise did not deter the great Teach-er fimn uttamg with solemn emphasis the words of the text, "Te must be bom again." Let us con-sider,

I. THB SAxraa OF REiJENTaunoK. The idea of renoration implied in the term re-

generation does not pertain primarily to the physi-cal nor to the intellectual faculdcs. The regenerat-ed man haa the same bodily conformation aller this dbango as before. His mental peculiarities remam. The inteflect considered abstractly, like the bsdy, 13 afiected only so 6 r as the moral powers exert an influence OTET it. This leads me to remark that regeneration Is a moral or spiritual change. I call 2 a spnitual change not merely because it is pro-duced by the Spirit of God, i s I intend to show, but because it tafces place in the spirit of the sab ject The heart is the theater of the operation, and the rerolntion eflected there invokes the illu-mrhatjon of the Understanding—the consecration of fliB ifiections—and the rectification of the will. To use PanTs language, '-'the eyes of the understand-ing c a enlightened." -You were once darktiess,

UB now light in the Lnnl." The ifTcctions of liEaiamewed soul are placed on unworthy objects

• nddeare to them with a tenacity as desperate as - (igiiity is dreadful. Ther^ is no r e l ^ for spirit-ual objects- There is no admiration of holiness— There is no appreciation of moral esceHency. There ism tore to Gcd. The affections are so alienated from him as to be irreclaimable by any human means, by sinning sundered the golden chain

that bound him to the throne of God, but he cannot ns-nnite the broken links of that chain. Regenera-fion recalls the affections frotn unworthy objcrts and placra them supremely on the ever blessed Jehovah —enshrines them in bis infinitely perfoct character. "Every one that laveth is bom of God."' This love is an unquestionable proof of regeneration. Thfi will of the unregenerate is perverse- It conflicts with the win of God- I t chooses sin and rejects

. hdiness—it choores cursing aad death rather than blefflimr and life. Its obliquity is in regeneration overcome and rcctifiod—its perverted action is ar-rested and changed. -'Thy people shall be in'ffing in the day of thy power."' Regeneration causes the will of the creature to coincide with the will of the Creator. I t is God who works'm man "to will and to do of his good pleasure." The will of the regenerate having bem changed by divine grace g ^ y chooses the objects on which the consccrated »aectian3 are placed.

The definition to be given of regeneration must depend on the point of moral observation we occu-IJ . If, for example, i^a contemplate the sinner as the enemy of God, regeneration is the subdual of his enmity and the crcation of love in its stead. If ve considBr the sinner the "child of the devil," rc-gsnention is the change which makes him the "child of God." If we regard tha unregencratc as totally tetitate ol the moral Imag? of God, regeneration cansiBts in stamping that image upon them. Or ii we view than as "dead in trespasses and sins," re generation is the impartation of divine life- Thus various definitions, not conflicting but harmonious may be given of regeneration according to the pranta of moral observation of which we avail our-Mlves.

IL THB SKzsaixr OF EEnErEEAxins".

This part of the subject has been somewhat an-ticipated in what has been said of the depravity of our nature; for it is depravity that renders regene-raSon necessary. Depravity hxs separated man ton God—has product alienation. How is a re •"fflai to b e b r ^ h t about? There must be re-umanil nan. ia ever saTcd. And as Ihe two par-ties, God and man, are at variance, a change must take place tn one, or boih of the parties, before there can be reomdliatian. But God is unchapge-ihls. The change must, therefore, if it occur at aU, accnr in man. Do jpu not see the necessity of re-geaention? It is a? necessary as ths salvation of the soul is desirable; for there can be no salvation witlimit reconciliation with God.

The necessity of regeneration also appears in the fictthatwithont it we cannot become the children of God. Those who are new creatures in Christ Jeaa have been "bom not of bloo'l, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. ' Being bom of God is essential to our p.irtaking of Ma nature, and this participation of his nature is fflipEsd m oar being his children, "That which is

of the Spirit U spirit"—that is, partakes of the Mtnrs of its Author, If we cannot become UiE chadrBu of God independently of regeneration; how important is regeneration. Language cannot gfn Ma adequate descriptioa of its importance.— The n e c H ^ of regeneration Is likewise apparent, Jwcinae the anregeijsrat3 cannot enter heaven, and if thty could they would be miserable there. It is one of the fundaiuDntal laws of social existence, that we cannot bo happy in the society of one an other unless there be similarity of disposition. On the 0 ^ hind, aocial happiness results from con-Pniaiity of feeling. We see this principle illoa-tiated every day. We see it in the gay assemblies ^ the loTOiB of pleasure. We see it in the vulgar eWHBiIa of the dissip»fed. We see it in the com-

- PMriBBof the educated and inteHectnal. We see H when Oie people of God 'ineet and take sweet coun-

together. Ina l l these instances there is simi-tey of feeling, congeniality of topoation. Now,

moral preparation to reUsh and enjoy the bliss of heaven. This of itself is sufficient to show its transcendent importance.

n i . The Anrnoa op hbgkkkbattos.

Who accomplishes this work? It is effected t y divine agency. The phrase "bom of God," is of frequent occurrence m tha Bible. We have also the expression "bom of the Spirit." No language could mora clearly indicate the kind of ageney em-ployed in regeneration. The Spirit of God alone can renew the soul. I t is his prerogative to quick-en—to ^ve li£B.-_ All is d«ath in the moral world without his influence. What breath is to animal' life, that his operation is to spiritual life. ' It is the Spirit that quickjneth." "And you hath he quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins."' ' God who is rich in mercy, for his great love where-with he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ: and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus." Taul saysof the Corinthians, "Ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart." The same Apostle, after informing us that those who "are in Christ are new creatures—that old things have passed away and all things have become new"—immediately adds, "and all things are of God-"' Regeneration is in several passages of Scrip-ture referred to under the imagery of creation.— .\nd who but God possesses creative power! Who but he can bring some'hing out of nothing? To create is his inalienable prerogative, and it is also his inalienable prerogative to regenerate, Ila says himself. ' 1 will give yon a new heart, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh." In the new covenant he says, "I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts." I t is evident from all these pas-sages that theTCgenerate are "born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of Gal." The agency in the work of regenera-tion is obviously and assuredly divine.

IV. Tna KEAKs OP

The instrumentality employed is the gospel, the tmth of God. This is a controverted point. Some argue that God renews the soul without the inter-vention of means. I think differently. Observe the following passages: "In Christ Jesus have I be gotten you through the gospel." ' Of his own. will begat be us with the word of truth." -'Being bom again not of corruptible seed but of incorruptible, by the word of God which liveth and abideth for-ever,"' '-The sword of the Spirit which is the word of Gt)d." It seems to me that the first three of these Scriptures prove positively the instrumental-ity of divine truth in regeneration, and the last passage indirectly establishes the same point. For if iho word of God is the instrument which the Spirit employs, why does he not employ it in regen-eration? Can any one assign a good reasonT There is a sense in which we arc bora of the Spirit of ( jo<1. and also a sense in which we are bom of the word of God. The agency of the Spirit and the instru-mentality of the word are indicated by the two forms of expression. God uses means in the nat-ural world, and why should he act on a ditl'creni principle in the moral? Ue docs not. The gift oi' the Bibla and the institution of the gospel ministry prove that he does not. I suppose the Spirit of God in regenerating the heart makes use of truUi pre-viously lodged in the tmderstanding. The word of God presents the motives which the same Agent employs in influencing the heart. The Spirit alone can render the means elTectual. What can means do without an Agent to use them'

Gen." And states that this Act is dated 21st Apnl, 1G49, when Lord Baltimore was in the zenith of his power.

He also calls upon Mr. .8t«vens to show the law by which religious toleration was est|^li8faed, and reminds him that in his chronology he had made a mistake of some 30 years, and at the same time as-sures him that the issue is not one of dates—that^ if he will shDw that Slarytand, under Lord Balti-more, was (vcr a free government, cither before Rhode Island or afier, he will tneet the issue satis-factorily.

To this, Mr. Stevens in a second letter replies, by re-aascrting%is ^ i t i 6 n , that "the Catholic colony of Maryland organized under the auspices of Lord Baltimore, was the first to establish the principle of free toleration in religious worship on this conti-nent;" and attempts to prove this by quotations from Bancroft and Cirimshaw; which Mr. Tucker in his third letter shows have already been referred to by himself in his Urst letter, lie also accuses Mr. Stevens of resorting to the ar^mentnm aii kominem, and tells him that the only original thing in hia Ut-ter is the reference to Gnmshaw. Mr. Tucker had said in his first 1 :ter. ' I know that historians, and

For tlie TenneBHee Baptiflt. Kcil^toni Libfrty In .noryland.

Oi-a attention has recently been directed to a pamphlet of 3G pages, which every Baptist in the world ought to obtain, read, and circulate. It con tains the letters of Hon. A. H. Stevens, of Georgia, and Rev. H. H. Tacker, of Richmond, Virginia, on Religious Liberty. By sending ten cents, or thir-teen cents, to Rev. Samuel Bryant, AUanta, Ga., a copy may be obtained through the mail. It seems that in a political speech made in Augusta, Georgia^ by Hon. A. H. Stevens, Lord Baltimore was men-tioned as having been the first to establish a gov-ernment on the principle of Religious freedom, on this continent. Mr. Tucker joins issue with Mr. Stevens on this question for two reasons. '-First, because it gives credit to one who does not deserve it. Secondly, because it fakes away that credit from one who dna deserve it. Lord Baltimore was not only not the first to found a free govcmmcnt, but be never founded such a one at all, nor did any of his puccc^rs who inherited his title! The pio-neer in the cause of religious liberty on this conti-nent was not a Catholic, but a Baptist; not Lord Baltimore, but Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island."

Mr. Tucker then proceeds, by referring to histor-ical documents, and to the laws of the respective States, to prove these two proposiUons, which he does fatisfactorily to any candid mind.

Mr. Stevens thus replies to Mr. Tucker '•The issue you join with me about Lord Balti-

more amounts to nothing. What I said in my speech in Augusta is strictly trae, as I understand the his-tory of the country. The Catholic colony of Mary-land organized under the auspices of ^ r d Balti-more was the first to atahlish the principle of free toleration of religious worship on this continent.— What jou say of Roger Williams is also equally trae, Ue was the first ckampon of this pnnaple. He then disclaims any wish to-do the least injustice to Williams, or any desire to defend Romanism, but

expresses the d e s i r e t o defend'soti;-Ubcrty'--a pnn-ciple lying at the foundation of our happy institu-tions, which the Cathobcs on.this continent, so far from being opposed to, were the first to adopt.

In a rejoinder, Mr. Tucker thus addresses 5Ir. Stevens:

"You tell me that the issue between ns 'amounts to nothing.' What it 'amonnts to' is just this: Did

'Livd Baltimore establiA r d i ^ u a toleration on this continent? You affirm that he did, and that he was the first to do it. I deny that he ever did it at all." Whether this issue aoooots to nothing an intelli-gent pubKc.wiH d m d e ^ p r o W l j has alrfody de-cided." He then proceeds to copy fiaonj the latra of Maryland, the csae which states that "Denying the Holy Ti^iity is to be pimished with death, &c.;

even tho.se from whom I quote, (Bancroft and Kil-dreth.) catching the popular breath, sometimes tfpeik of l.ord Baltimore a-i the first to estabhsh re-ligions liberty, but these very historians modify these expressions, and indeed cancct them, by nar-rating the facts above set forth—facts which inval-idate h!.i claims, and those of all his successors. He now reminds -Mr. Stevens that the expressiona he had quoted were contradicted by the historian himself in the fact that he tells us that the religions hberty of which he speaks was only partial, and tells him also that he seems to forget the counter siatement.s of Bancroft, such, for example as the following: • Freedom of conscience, unlimited free' dom of mind, was from the first the trophy of the Baptists. ' And the statement of Hildreth, "In Rhodf Island, frtcdom of faith and worship was assured to all -the first formal ami le^al esla^'lish-mcnt of relitrinti-: tibcrlii ever prom-ilgateil, trhetker III Enrn-pc or Amrncn. '

He also states to Jlr. Stevens that he took good care not to quote from the oath administered to the first Goveraor of Maryland—'-that he would not directly or indirectly molest any person professing to helicic in Asits Cknst, for. or in respect of, reli-gion.' But suppose the person were a Jew, wonld ihe oath of the Governor prevent him from perse-cuting him if he saw fit! Mr. Tucker then asserts that if historians utter contradictory statements we must fall back upon the /iicf j, upon which they baeo their statemKnts. Ue tells Mr. Stevens that he had juoted opinia/is from Bancroft, and scmetKiiig from Grim.shaw and a.-ks him if he had affirmed that such and such a thing was part of the statute law of Georgia, and if this statement had been denied, if he would thmU it a proper reply to refer his op-ponent to (ii-inishaw's History," or White's Sta-tistics—that with <>qual propriety he might have luoted .Ksop's falilfS. If religious liberty was es-tablished in Maryland, it was done by law. Mr Tucker cills for that law, after quoting from Green-leaf—the rule of law, which is that the best evi-dence of which the ease, in its nature, is susi'epti-hle, shall ho required. The rule for ascertaining the law of other State.s. i.s, that the law itself shall be produced, or an authenticated copy

This ruU' is a lup'.ed for the prevention of f ravA; for wht-n it is ap; arcnt that lictter evidence is with-held, f I .' fair to prrsuTTie that the party had some 5in?--rer miifirc f'<r not pro<t<umg ft: and that if of-fcrf.l hii ilcsivni i-o-ilil he fmstratrd." He accuses Mr. Stevens ol giving secondary evidence, when primary evidence was at hand, and tells him that he intends spending some portion of his time m teaching those who make statements, tha trath of which cannot be proved, that when those statements detract either dircctly or indirectly from the honor of the Baptist denomination, they cannot be made with impunity.

Mr. Stevens does not reply to this third letter, well aware that "the better part of valor is discre-tion." He retires ingloriously from the field of con flict. Mr. Tucker deserves the thinks of every true-hearted Baptist for the able manner with which he has handled the subject. Although Mr. Stevens had dropped it, and withdrawn, ho still continues to discuss the subject in six more letters, in which he shows conclasively that Maryland was no home for religions liberty under the administration of Lord Baltimore and his immediate descendants, and that to the Baptists belong the honor of having first clearly and boldly proclaimed to the world the doc trine of "soul-liberty." If we had not exceeded the limits we had assigned to ourselves, we should be glad to give an analysis of the remaining letters. Suffice it to say, that ample justice is done to the subject by the author. The little pamphlet deserves to live. If the Baptists of this country suffer it to pass away and be forgotten, they will deserve the contempt of mankind. It is time that a stop should be put to tho incorrect statements respecting the history of the j)a.st—statements which do not be-stow honor where honor is fully due. We would not encourage among Baptists a spirit of vain glorious boasting -but we would urge upon them the cultivation of a proper self-respect. Our past history is one of which we may be justly proud. Let u-s never forget it. TRITH.

I know that my excellent and kind brother, Old Line Baptist, wonld shudder at such a thought- He will think me strangt: for such an idea, and gently chide me for such an in-timation; and yet I ask him to look abroa<i, and watch the signs of the times, and the movements in some quarters- I ask him to n view amin his first article, and read these lines fiom it, an i take my stand point to view them, "/r is rrry trm, Associalions rcccive dele;riUes because thvrikcs hctn^ rulependent hare delegated s-tck, hut it uiiitio! rati-

An A.s-sociation may withdraw its fellowship from an heretical or di-sorOcrly church, but let churches try their own members for heresy or disorder.

For thf Tenaepsw Bapu-t, The ''Great Iron Wheel" in \ irsinla.

Dear Brothke. Gb.wes;—Whilst we would not like to give op our ^-Religious thrabl," for any other paper, we are thoroughly convinced that the Baptists need precisely such a paper as yours, [in addition to their paper, we suppose Bro'her E means.] Truth is aggressive, as well as defensive, and it should go forward with power and speed — This is not a dead, but living age, and everything is in motion. Onward is the itord'.'. The name of the Editor of the Tennessee Baptist, is about as frequently mentioned in Virginia as that of any other man. This is done because like Luther he fearlessly opposes errctr and defends the truth.— We are happy, however, to know that there ore some master minds in the 19th century, as well as the IGth. The church must be reformed, for gro.ss errors are so ming'ed with the traths of the gospel that the temper and lives of professing christians are not what they should be. The doctrines of Christ are perverted, and the commandments of men are substituted in their place. "The Great Iron Wheel," though it has kindled an angry fire in the bosoms of many, is doing a mighty work in our midst. It is being circulated and read exten-sively. Some time ago, in a town not far distant atone of the most popular hotels in it, I saw a man intentiy engageii reading a book. Desirous of of some thirty or forty-tivo degress, and found that knowing what it was, I inclined my head to an angle it w a s - T h e Grtal Iron Wheel." Soon after , w h e i traveling on the cars, I saw a book on one of the pa.sscnger's seats, and soon I found that it was "The Great Iron Wheel'' Thus you see that this notable book is putting up at hotels 2nd taking pas-sage on the cars, and is now finding its way into the villages and hamlets of Western. Virginia. It is traversing over mountains, and is carried into our vallies, and soon, all (who read at all) will have given it a perusal, (some e.xceptions of course).— And what will be the result? Prejudice, passion, animosity and a belligerent sfjirit will be excited in some, when t h ^ have the truth made so.plain that they are compelled to see it. Why? Because the truth will be seen to their own shame, confu-sion and condemnation. Bat with the truly pious and morally courageous, there will be many con-victions of wrong, conversions to right, and public confessions, haptisms ice cmjeciitre will net be Knfreipient. Soon we hope to see scores and hnn dreds, who tmly love God, and still are in error, turning to jighteoosness and Christ. Popish in-novations will .be set a ade, human rites will be re-jected, infant bapUsm and sprinkling will be abol-ished, and t ^ that are for the Lord will be on OUT side. Mas darkness be dispelled and light be intnduttd. Yours fraternally,

Wehopeif any mor^I ik^im can be found in the Comberland Presbyterian Chnrch, thoy wil I take an early start to the banfe of 4|rdan, we will guarantee that "they shall not Jl>« persereted on the journey."'

Is not tbis beautiful language to emanate from one who professes to be oynimiaioned to call npon, and warn others to flea;ih4 wrath i« ^ language at all consstent with the cause be prti-fesses to l(fve so well? Is it manifesting that meek, lowly, Mid lamb like Spirit of CSirist, who, when he was reviled, teriled not again. In leaving the Presbyterian Church,' and attaeh'mg myself to the Bapt i s t J I had no object in view, but to do what I conceived to be my conscientions duty, and was prompted by no ether motive than that to glorify God. I come to these condu^na from a careful, and prayerful, investigation of the word of God. I could find no satisfactory authority for -Infant Bap-tism,' nor for any other water Baptism, save that of "immersion." I felt that it was wrong in me to remain in a condition, where I was saying by my actions, what I positively denied by my words. I could not fed reiondled to live in a church tmless I could subscribe to every inch, of it.s doctrino. (•God is not to be mocked and him alone I am accotmljble for this- diMgc of church rela-tionship, as well, as foi; another things; and al-though, because I have done what 1 conceive to be my duty in this important matter the "Editor of the Banner of Peace"' brands me with biung guilty of "chickcn stealmg, or its equivalent" but 1 ^hiII notice te remarks no further than this commum-cation. Let an impartial chnslian communiiy judge the matter. 1 njuice to know that I l-jive dyne my duty in joining the Baptist Church. Fur merly my conscience was crippled, and bccaost! thereofl could not enjoy religion as I desired, but now having done my duty I feel at liberty, and all is right. I never before knew so well what grade

crime," was equivalent to that of --chicken stcal-ptog" neither have 1 ever had occasion to devote much time and study as to what would be the consequence or penalty attached to tho "crime, should an individual be detected in unlawfully visiting a '-lien roost," hut the Rev. Editor apt-pears to know all about it. It appears that lie has studied the matter so closely that he is able to give its "equivalent," viz: for an individual who joins the Presbyterian Church, to became convinced of his error, and then join the "Baptist Church. ' Is not this what he virtually says-in hia abuse. "Wonderful man, the Ecv, 'William S. Langdon no wonder he is a I>. D." and Editur of a '-Reh-gious Journal." 1 wonder if he is in earnest when he says, "we hope if any more b"kt him, can b« found m the Comberland Presbyterian Chnrch, they will take an early start-to the banks of Jor-dan." If he ts, and his desire was complied with, would'nt his ranks be thinned. Ue guaranties their way clear of persecution, yet he is the first one to commence it. I think 1 have now placed my-self in a proper position before the world in this matter, and said all that is necessary for me to lay at present, and it is with considerable dehcacy and reluctance that I have been forced to say this much. So 1 now leave the matter, by acknowl-edging myself the author of that notorions letter, and signing my name, to gratify the Editor of the Banner. A. Frrzf;E3LtLn.

Salvationl Blessed be God that our fallen earth has heard the joyful sound! It is unheard in hell! Reader blesseil be the grace that brought it to your ears. Multitudes of man's family arc strangers to it. But thricc blessed be the Spirit's love, if it is the sweetest melody which charms you—tho loud-est note by day and by night of your unwearied praise! To mnltitndcs it is a toneless cymbal.

Salvationl It peoples the many maiisions of our heav£nly kingdom. It is the bliss of the ever blisf-ful. It is the joy of the ever joyful. It is the happiness of the ever happy. It is the song of the ever singing. It is the peace of the ever peaceful. It is the rest of the ever resting- It is the glory of the ever glorified. Oh my soul! see to it that you are saved.

Salvation! It is a roll written by Jehovah's pen. It is the decree of divine cotmcils, the fruit of omni-scient mind, the first txira of unmeastircd love, the perfection of eternal thought, the strength of Om-nipotence. It is the fabric which every attribute of God erected with concurring hand; in which eve-ry Ftone is brought by mercy, and shaped by wis-dom, and l i d by grace; in which there is aodiJ'cct —no blemish, no decay. It is th« soul built um-ple which will rise and shine in the growing splen-dor, throngh all ages. Oh my fionl! see to it that you are saved.

Salvation! It is the work for which Jssuswaa bora in Bethlehem, and hved on earth, and died at Calvary, and descended into the grave, and burst the bonds of death, and mounted to Heaven and sits at the right-band of ("rod.—For this he drank the deepest cup of wrath and torment For this he grappled with all tbe powers of darkness.

It is the work for which the Spirit seeks our earth, and knocks at the barred entrance of the sinner's heart. For this he as-sanlta the fortress of self-love and reveals the perils of sin, and wrestles with ignorance and vain excuses- For this he strives until the arms of rebellion fall, and the con-trite soul flees to the Cross and embraces Jesus— the arisen Savior, and shelters in the sure refuge of his words. Oh my soul! tee to it that you are saved.

Salvation! It is the first message which mercy uttered to a ruined world. It is the end of every prophecy, the purport of every precept, the beauty of every prtjmise, the trathofevcry sacrifice, the mib-stance of every rite, the song of every inspned lip^ the longing desire of every rrncwcd heart, the bea-con which guides throngh the Toyagi: of life, the haven to which the tides of grace convey, the end of faith, the fun light of hope, the lume of love. Oh my soul ace to it that you are saved.

Salvation! It is the absccnce of this blessing which builds the pri-son house of hell: which kin-dles the never quenched fires; winch forges the eternal -chains which wraps the dreary regions in one mantle of darVfieBrr, which gives keermsss to the imdyiDg. worm; wUch blows up the smoke of torment^ wHch adds the bitterness of dsspair to the hopeless w ^ ' Oh my soul! b k to it that you are s a v e d . - I / e n r y t m r , Arckbiih^ of Wells.

Yet w« canrot see what the New Testament has to staid upon, nor what an Argument from it is worth, afier the Old Testament's authnrity over onr faith is ta ten away, nor with what con-istency one can say, that the Old Testa-ment ia an true, and all given "by inspiration, and yet that he ia not bound to believe it, or that i t is cot included in the rule of his faith. If this be so, then a man ia not bound to believe what Go'l has grrenbyraspiration as his truth. If i', be true, that this ia the nniform beHef cf the Baptists, it woold be well if i t WPTO more fnHy professed by them. I f i t b« noktruc, it would be weUif we might have soma diafdaimer, especially from the Baptist orgin which pnlilished the assertion. For ourwlveSf though we hare been awaru that the k g -ical neces^iiifca of the Biptists lead in some cases, to a diminished sense of the valae of the OLd Tes-tament ScriptnrES. we do not believe they have un-iformly come to this sort of rejection of that part of inspirrf truth. One of the exceptions which, in the rcading-of '^Jhe Great Iron VThcc!,-' wo took to ihatljook, writ-cn by a Bapdat anthor. whichj in the main, we can highly commeod, was, to the po-Hifonof the writer, that Baptists are not Protes-tants. If the testimony of this -Eoger Williams" can be madi' good abmt them, i t will indeed ap-pear that they are not more than half Protestants, for. in tiiai ca-^e, they wanld be shown to have rt-j e o e d more than one-half of the Protestant's rule of faith."

The above we copy £him the -T^iritan Eecorder," tha leading Congregational paper in New England.

The 3en«e in which we understand the propoaitioB of Roger Williams, we fiiHy endorse, and wa under-sac<d BiTrists generally to do so.

He does not say that there is any thing in the Old Testament «ot given inspiration, and therefore not tobeUlieved—for tHa he asserts, and Pedo-haptists can do no~more.

Six Lutheran Princes Bolemnly protested and to a general council, and hence the name Protest-ants, by which the ToUowers of LuAer have ever since bten known. Nor was it confined to them, for it soon- after included the f o l l o w s of Calvin, and has now, for a Ions tjme, been apphed to those sects, of whatever name, and m whatever comtry , that have sepnratcd from tht Rmnish co-mmumon. .

This standard definition of Protestants excludes Baptists from laying any claim to the appeUation, should they desire it. They never were the follow-ers of Luther. They did not protest against that decree, and having no representatives in the Diet of Spirra-rand lastly, they never belonged to the Rom-ish Church; and'therefore, they conld not stpante from il: and, therefore, they cannot be considered in any light as her- daughters—the harlot cffijpring of which Mystical Babylon was the prolific mother. " Centuries before Rome wa3, Baptists were, and we assert, fearless of successful contradiction, in the language of the learned Ypeig and t>ormont, who, in 18W, were appointed by the King of Hol-land to examine into the history and claims of the Dutch Baptists t h a f ' T h e Baptistsmay be considered AS THE OSL.T aEL-'CTOCS C03nitT.TrT WHICH HAS STOOD StXCK THE D ATS CF THS APOSTIES, and, as a Chris-tian Society wKcb has preserved pure the doctrines

Bapti.^t?, then, are not Protestants—Seccdeis— Scparaiist'!—from Rnme, but we say, with Gavazzi, call us not P r o t s t a a t s against Rome, but A.vsiin-L-iTOBS of Rome.

Baptists believe that, if the New Testament alone could be given to the heathen worid, that, in that as sinners, they wonld Isam what they- m u ' t do to be saved, a n i when convert-, ed, t h ^ would find in the New Testament all the commandmentB and dntira required of them as his Chrratians. Indeed, whether we or they have both Testaments, or only the New, tiie commission shuts us op, as the miaisters of Christ, to teach crarvert-ed men to observa only what Christ has command-ed in the New Testament. '-Teaching them to ob-aerre" not what Moses and the Prophets command-ed, hut "aH things whatsoeverl have rommanded." I t this language means any thing, if i t limits what iato be tanght as a matter of christiaii faith and prac-tice, it Uraita it to what Christ himself, and throcgh his disciples, taught during his incamatioii. .The New Testament, therefore, ia the Creed and Discip-line of Baptists.

We sea what tha Eecorder so dearly sees, Chat this pomtion in a death stroke to infant sprinkling. Fur neither the Savior nor his disciples ever inn-mated that Christian, baptism comes in the room of drcumdsiany nor did Chnst or his apostles ever intimate that the infanta of One or both believing paranta, or the infant oS>pring of Jew or GentEe were to be baptized and brought into tte diurdi . Not one word Cke i ^ nor does t he New Testament aSIird US one example of the baptism of infants— but pogitively forbids the baptism of any but be-lieea-j-^^soiples—beesose it specifies believeis-

We give the following a.s a specimen of the let-ters We are receiving as fruits of the Great Iran Whee'.. That it is opening the eves of hundreds and cansms thousands to think, admits not of a doubt. We can well endure all the abase and vile slander the leaders and editors of Methodism are pouring upon us. Our personal character Is infi-nitply above their reach. We challenge any re-spmsible Uethcdist North or South to as-'ail i t in a single point. If any one tiucks that we shall pause for one moment to notice the elanders—false

jiUky—now berrg put forth by one whose cal-a s n j cf any man is regarded by all good men as piaisi^tfaat one mistakes na. The Wheel is doing

great work and for this reason, it Ls so virulently attacked and the character o f i a author assailed.— Let i t lolL Let every BapDst possess himself of a copy a t once.

D I A K BBOTHKB GKATTZS:—I write this to you, though personally unknown, to acknowledge an obligation which I feel for having been allowed to read the "Great Iron Wheel . " I have been for about twenty-seven years a member of the Metho-dist Episcopal Church, and like many in that con-nection, have always believed that only the inv mersion of a belieTer or profession of faith was bap-tism. And when I joined them I was myself im-mersed t y a minister of the denomination. With that for a long time, I was not so much dissatisfied. But with taa poilty, discipline, and some of the doctrines of Methodism, I have been for years veiy much so indeed.

I t . has been difficult for me to arrive at the con-clusion that my baptism was invalid, because I thought the Methodist Society a church, and that its Mmisters were propa ly qualified to administer the ordinances. Bat since I have read your work on these subjects, and particularly that part of it to which gives the hiitory of Methodism. 1 Und it nothing bu t a society of man's formation; and one that subverts the kingdom of Jesus Christ.

Now my way is clear before me, I now see dis-tinctly and know how to persue my course. And, my dear sir, you perhaps cannot properly appre-ciate the feeling of a person who has for years and years contended wiih these difficulties, and then all at once find them solved and entirely removed. It ia, as if he were nearly converted and new I'ght breaking in upon him from every direction. With views like these I have felt that I should be un-grateful to God, and to jotirself, did I not acknowl-edge publicly my debt of gratitude for being al-lowed to read the '-Great Iron Wheel," and to re-ceive from it such light and spintnal improve-ment.

May your life be long spared and may you con-tinue to be faithful.

In bonds of christian afi'ection, though not yct 'a Baptist, I am my dear bro'Jier yours.

Onr own CoUege is in the same conditi<m, as we learned from the Report read at the last General Association, which.nnanimously resolved fo raise the sum oj SIOO^OOD immediattiy.

The Board o f Trustees has recently secured the services*f Elder E. StiMe, of Chattanooga, one of our most efficient and energetic brethren, to take the field. He will enter upon the work in: a few days.

All that President C^unphell says of Georgetown College, we can say of Union University, save thp.t we do not fear that our young Tennessee .Baptist preachers ''will be apt tci join other denominatwns;"' no, not if there was not a B^itist College in the world—all thjit could possibly be "apt to" do so, wo should rejoice to have leave our ranks to-day. But let onr College go down, and oar sons would have to be sent at great expense to other States, and not half, or one-fourth of the present number, would be educated, and we lose this element of moral and de-nominational power—an educated membership.— But not one in ten of our young ministers could he educated abroad, for we could not or would not, raise the necessary means, for it is with some difficulty that we meet their e i p e i ^ here at home, and thus we would lose the prospect of an educated minis-try, which is now so Uattcring. We have a larger number of young ministers now at Union Universi-ty, than can be found at any Souihern Baptist Col-lege, and arrangements will be made that will en-sure double or treble the present number. We are just-beginnicg to feel the intluencc of our Uuiversi. ty at home, and the light of Life is being kinfiled in the darkness, and the rose of Sharon planted in the wUderac-3s of heathen land-x, by ministers educated at this Institution. While it has attracted the ad-mira' ionof other States of the Union as pre-emi-nently the Missionary School, as the College that is sending forth more mis.sionarr preachers than any other school, Literary or Thf»Iogical m the Umon, will we. Baptists of Tennessee, whose praise for enterprise and Ubtrality is in all the Churchcs, suf-fer this Instituiion to fail, for the want of less than two dollars apiece—two dollars for each one of our

I membership^ Never, never: The act would disgracc us everywhere, .inJ for-

Above all, xhould wc all>iW the L uiversity to fail, we would deeply diihonor G.xi by the act—the God who has dealt so bounti fully wiih us and prospered us as a denomination and as a people. Let it be remembered, that this University is the - Union" L'nivcrsi y- It is not a local interest. It originated witb. and was fouaiiel by the denomination in East, AVest. -nd Middle Tennessee.

to meet, and will meet, cannot be met by local en-terprises in East or West Tennessee. But this need not interfere with interests in the Eastern or West-em divisions of the State—these are useful, and will prove tributary to this, which is indispensable.

Brethren in Tennessee, now is the time, and this is the year—a year of plenty and of promise—to give the Lord a g i f t - t o make him an ollering that will be pleasing in his sight. Don't forget this in-terest. Tou must allow us to plead it belo rc you uniil it is esublished. We must do it—we shall prove ourselves recreant to Baptist faith and Bap-tist honor, not to do it. I t is the last and greatest work devolving ufon us in Tennessee. But what is 8100,000 among 50,000 or 55,U00 liberal and en-thusiastic Baptists? We can raise this sum in one year, if we would only resolve to do it.

We conscientiously regard our Ministers and cur Edi.ors as recreant to their duty, m that they fail, through fear or favor, to expose the anti-thristian a.s.snniptions cf Episcopacy, either Pro-testant or Mttbndist. Protestantism has given binh to a u.iiUitiide o f i i c t s , iniii-devised and man constituted kingdom.s, over which men, the chief ministers arc the heads, and the Clergy are the Misters and Lawgivers. Tiiese human religious S-icieu^s are the rivals of the Kingdom of Christ and arc leading the fnendq of iho Savior awaj from him into these—to f jllow, to obey, and to be the scrvan:s nf mrn. But where is the voice of the I'lill-it and of the press exposing ar.d condemning this imfisus rivalihip of (^rsi t!

THE end.iwment of the College is, or OBght to be the great worV f this year with the Baptists

ia Kentucky. There are several reasons for this: First,. If i t is not endowed this year, it is certain to suspend, and perhaps be destroyed. Second, There has been already a more encouragiag begin-ning than.we may ever make again. Scett county has given S25,000, all conditional, however. Third, The times are sufficiently prosperous, and if it can-not lie endowed now, it will be proof that we are too stingy, and incapable of appreciating the real worth of such a College to the denominatinu and the country. Fourth, The College is now highly prosperoos, and needs no commendation to make it w o r i y the hberality of the people. Fifth, Not to tax ourselves to the utmost of onr ability to accom-plish it now, is to involve ourselves in reproach and ruin. Our members aro wealthy, and the impor-tance and worthmess of the Institation leave na no apology if we CuL The faculty wiU enter other fields, our ministry and other sons must be edacat-ed at other Colleges, and vast numbers of our fu-ture educated ybuth wiU be apt to enter other de-nominations.

Tours, in the Lord, V. E. CAKPBKLL.

A CoBEESPOxniXT of the S t Louis Presbyterian relates the following, which he commends as "a ca?e of intelligent appreciation of Church principles.' We fully agree with him that it is so, but do not see bow, if the man refrrred to was right, the Pres-byterian papers can be justified in speaking as they do, of these baptized church raemb»rs, as "joining ths church," when any of them are converted. We hardly ever take up a Presbyterian paprr with-out seeing in the revival intelligence—' such a num-ber ;oincii Rev. Dr.'s CfturcA"—though most of them were by '-church principles," abeady mem-bers.

But to the incident: "The other was a case of intelligent appreciation

of church principles. The applicant, a man in mid-dle life, presented himself, and was asked by the Moderator of the Sesaon:

Do you apply by certificate? No, Sir. Then yon have not been before a member of any

church' I consider that I am now, sir, a member of the

Presbyteriaa Church, and have always been. I was baptized in infancy by my parents' pastor in Scot-land, and I only apply now to be admitted to com-munion.

Upon wiiat ground do you expect to be admitted to this privilege?

Upon my knowledge to discern the Lord's dody, my faith to feed upon him, and upon the evidence of my repentance, love, and new obedience.

I t did our hearts good to hear this distinct and intelligent avowal of genuine Presbyterianism."

In striking contrast with this, we take from the Independent a Pedo-baptist paper, a definition of the Church, italicising a few words to call attention to the marked difference between the above avow-al of "genuine Presbyterianism," and the Indepen-dent's statements.

I t is generally beiieved by Christians that the Bible teaches the necessity of a change of heart as a prereqia'site for admission mio a risible Church. By a v i ^ l e Church we mean any society of pro-fessed believers in Christ, associated together for the worship of God, and the observance of Chris-tian onlinances.

Again: The Church is not a union for specific and out-

ward reforms, which a man may join or not, as he pleases. It isaunion "f professed belierers in Christ, associated together for the worship of God. and the observaace of Christian ordinances.

This purports to be a series of Letters addressed by a Jurist to a young kia.sman, who was about joining the Romish Church. The work has a double mission —to oppose Catholici.im, and to defend Pro-te'tant EpisoTfacy. for the especial furtherance of the latter it was doubtless wnt ten, and especially to take advantage of the present political excite-ment against Rome. We cannot commcnd the book, for wc cannot choose between PAPACY and EPISCO-

PACT, whether Protestant or Episcopal Methodist, since both are unscriptural and evidently anli-christian in their profane and blasphemous assump-tions.

ST JAXA y . EDXI,

- ' [ooNrnnTB^] ^ Now, let OS look at this hroad mentum ad hominem.

You say Abraham's family was o; chorch by circumcision. 'Tou say, the new chureh what circumcision Then I ask you, did not John the B t ^ t i ^ Christ, and bis Apostles separate a p e o p l ^ n H or^ ganize a church by baptism—paying no attentioii^ to the claims of the Jews, to be tho church or peo-ple of God?

T'ais you dare not deny. Then what becdine of that wtJnderfhl, great "Amen—amen" assertion of youre? blown away like the chaff of the summer's thrashing floor? What does Paul meao when be talks about Israel after the flesh? Does he not re-fer to National Israel iu contrast with Spiritual Is-rwl? This you know is so.

Now, in the name of common sense, is their iden-tity in contrast?

What does he mean when he says, ye are a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a spiritual house, to offer up spiritual sacrilices? Does he not refer to Na-tional Israel—a carnal nation to offer carnal sacri-fices?

How upon earth can you sin so enormously against light and knowledge' But, what account is infant baptism any way? Oh, we are told, it is of vast importance in point of salvation!

Well, let us try its value, according to their theo-ry. Bap'ism is to Ihc church now just what cir-cumcision was to the old church; then, if we ascer-tain the value of circumcision, in point of salvation, this will give us exactly tho value cf baptism.

Gal. 6: 15. "For in Christ J c ^ neither circum-cision availeth any thing, m r nncircumcision, but a pew creature."

Then your infant baptism is all of no account. But , give it all the importance which you ask for it, and how then?

See twenty sprinkled in infancy, and twenty not at all, all unconverted adults—has the sprinkled class any advantage over the other cla -s. in point of salvation? Will friend Warren say they have'

Eph. 2: 14 ' For he is otir peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us."

Your frail bark is snagged again parson. But what is the character of the infant claim' Mr. N. L. Rice says, in his debate with Mr. A. Campbell, that he has shown a law putting infants into the church; and he defius Mr. C. to sh"w a law putting them out of the charrh.

Ram- 4: i:i. • For tho promise, that he should be heir of the world, was not to Abraham, nor to bis seed, through the law, but through the rightoous-ne,« of faiih. For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void and the promise is mnde of non-effect.''

Now, sir, bow is the infant claim brought under the law of circumcLiion' They are brought into covenant with God by baptism. Then fiith is made void, and the promise whith is through taith, is of noii-ctfect. S.) out goes your infant claim, friend Warren; or away goes faith and the promise of God.

I will here recapitulate: 1. The gospel covenant cannot be reconciled to

his notion of identity; nor to infant church mcm-bership-

2. The prophecy of Daniel (2: 44, 45,) bids defi-ance to all the powers of sophistry, and establishes the origin of the church in the days of those kings —the Ca-'sars—the Roman Empire.

3. The work of John the Baptist cannot be re-conciled to the theory of identity.

4 The fact, that Jesus Christ rejected the claim of the Jews as the people of God is conclusive.

5. The fact that the Jews denounced Jesus Christ as an impostor, and crucified him, caps the chmax

But to make assurance doubly sure, I will now wind up this argument, and I won't leave friend Warren even so much as a grain of sand, upon which to rest his false system.

Gal. 4- ' Tell me ye that dc.sire to be under the law, do ye not bear the law? For it is written, that Abraham had two sons the one by a bond maid, the other by a free woman; but he who was of the bond woman was born after the fle.sh; but he of the free woman was by promise. Which things are an al-legory: for these are the two covenants "

The family of Abraham is here used to represent the subjects of the two covenants- Ishmael, bom after the flesh, represents National Israel, Isaac, bom by promise—bom after the spirit, represents the church of God.

Now, sir, is there identity with I.-;hmael and Isaac' Will parson Warren sav ill And say it he must, to sustain his frail cause. If Ishmael and Isaac

Ishmael circumcised and in tho church, and still not to heir under the spiritual covenant! Oh, this is a wretched affair upon old friend Warren. Now just notice the case, two bodies of men are brought to view. The ono bom in Jerasalem below, the other bom from above. Are these two bodies iden ticaH You can't say it, sir.

Are not these two bodies National Israel, and the Chureh of Jesus Christ? You caqnot deny it.

Acts 22: "Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence, which I make now unto yon: and when they heard, that he spake in the Hebrew t o n ^ e to them, they kept the-more silence, and he saith: I am verily a man which am a Jew, bora in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city, at-the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the per-fect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous towards God, as ye all are this day. And I persecuted this way unto the death, b i n i n g and delivering into prison both men and women. As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders, from whom also I received letters tmto the brethren, and want to Damascus, to bring them which were there, bound to be pun-ished-"

In the above we see the wisdom of God in anti-cipation cf this claim of identity. Tou talk about identity! God has here fixed it, but not that claim-ed by friend Warren.

Inspiration has here fixed perfect identity be-tween Saul of Tarsus, and the old church. Paul says he is a Jew. Perhaps though he is a Jew, baptism—no, he is a Jew by birth.

Perhaps he was an ignorant J « f , mo, sir, brought up in this d t y (Jerusalem) a t the kii t of Gamaliel, and tanght accoidbig to the p e r f a t aaone r of the law of the fathers. Perhaps he kad no zeal for the cause of God. "Was as z ^ o u s towards God as ye all are this day."

Perhaps he was not a persecutor, '-l persecuted this way unto the death."

Perhaps he had no authority for his course." He received anthority £n)m the high priest

P e r h ^ the high jaiest transcended the bounds of his authority. ' And all the estate of the el-ders."

Here, then, we see National Israel persecnting the Church of Christ, through their authorized agent, Saul of Tarsus.

The love, the honor and the glory cf God are considerations that ought to move the deep-est sensibilities of a believer's soul, and I believe will always prove eflectnal, whenever th? individu-al is really and truly brought in contact with their sacred-and benign mtlaencfe.

VIXCEXT RKDUAN TDOEXTON is no more. On Thurseay last, abcut sunset, while standing at his front gate, talkmg with his brother m-law, he was attacked by a stroke of paralysis. From that time he was speechless, though he retained his conscious-ness till about two hours brfore bis death, lie died at one o'clock P. M. on Friday, 4th Apnl.

Brother Thornton was so well known, that there is no necessity to write his eulogy: his praise is i.. all the churches. Like Apollos, he was '-an elo-quent man and mighty in the Scnptures, ' As an expounder of the great doctrines of grace, he was certainly without a superior, perhaps without an equal. After a paralytic stro'se, in Noveml)er 1S54, (from wliich he never fully recovered) he hab-itually looked upon his departure as near, and was in enjoyment of a full assurance of faith. In that assurance he selected the text from which he de-sired his funeral sermon to be prf ached, 2 Tim- 1: 12. I know in whom I have believcd-

He was bom 19th Ju ly 18i>5—was baptized into the fellowship of the Bethesda Baptist Church, on the 20th April 1828. On the 12'h cf May 1831, h» was ordained as a minister of the Gospel by Pres-bytery, consisting of Jesse Mercer, Adiel Sherwood, Jack Lumpkin, BOlington M. Sanders, Enoch Cal laway, and Jonathan Davis. He died, as before s t a t e d , on the 4th April 1856, in the 51st year of his age, and the 25th of his ministry,

BROiHjtB Gbjth:—In my ramblings over

this of the earth's surface, the good, the b«d,

the indifferent are met with—I use language la

used by us commonly, for I dare not say, any are

good. I converse with the preacher, the laymm,

the religionist of one kind and of another, the infi-

del of various shades, and of course I meet mudj to

arouse thought, and to produce enquiry. Haying

met gentlemen of an educated mind who will not

admit truth in Geology, I a n but ask, whilst scep-

tics arc busy in elaborating argument, giving Geol-

ogical aisuments, what are believers doing?

may beheve in the inspiration of the Holy Bible

but if we cannot answer argument by argument;

or assertion, by argument and facts, we are not do-

mgour duty. It is an cvU to unde.'valuo the

strength of our opponent. We had better prepare

for a giant even if we batUcwiiha pigmy. We

may call the argument of the iaiidtl foolishness,

but we cannot conrince him or others. ' The bat-

tle of the evidences'' of Christianity had to be fought

before we eaisted, the field of' metaphvsical

science, and so must it be fought '^a the field of-

physical science. The "Philosophtrs of the pres-

not of the Locke's, Berkeley's, Dumes, D.igild

preachers may sneer at Geology, as did many at

Phrenology some twenty years ago, but that will

not do. OurColIeges, and Theological Institutes

should have Geology as a study. Prehaps it may

be so even now. Our ministering brethrtn sliouM

at least be prepared to examine and discuss all

questions pertaining to Gsology.

I fear no investigation that ibe iavestigations in

Geology may induce, for when fuUy, thoroughly

understood, that science wUl add to the ' eviden-

ces'' now before the world. Indeed, truth only

sh n s brighter and brighter as it ia tested by ex-

amination.

BEni-nF( I. IxoDE.NT.—A lady lately visiting

New York city, saw one day on the side-walk a

ragged, cold and hungry little girl, gazing wishful-

ly at some cake in a shop window. She stopped,

and takmg the little one by the hand, led her into

the store, thoogh she was aware that bread might

be better for the child than cake, yet deareing to

graafy the shivering and forlorn one, she bought

and gave her the cake she wanted. She then took

her to another place, where she procured a shawl and

oiU-.-r articles of comfort. The grateful little crea-

ture I.xjked the benevolent lady up full in the face,

to hold communion with Christ, in his Word

through his ordinances, and by prayer, until y< ur'

heart is warm, your mind enlightened, your faith

increased, your love more fervent and dn you bring

yota- friends to the Savioris no:ice by prayer,

and the Savior to th<>ir notice by pleading with

them for him. As it is near the eiose of the year,

when men of the world close o? iheir bot'ks and

balance their account?, would it not be well for

Christians to cast about them, and see. if they can.

to what purpose they have lireti thi., year: how

much they have added to the talents loaned to

them, how many good opportunities cf spcikin? for

Christ have passed unimproved, and passe-i. too.

enough to humble them. In this sute of mind,

When Old Aga iri th rathless riRor, Ploogha my in tooled l ines;

Wbea tlieeye forgeta ite 'seeing, And t i e hand forgots its s t i l l :

W l e n tlie r e r j v a i i s prpve rebeLi To the Mind's once k ind ly -wili?

When t t o deaf ear, strained tc l isten. Scarcely hear3 the opening word.

And th ' an fa l iomed depths of Feeling, iSB by no swift cnmint stirred;

When fond Memory, Uke a limner. Many a l ine perspective casts.

Spreading out oar b y gone pleasnres. On the canvasa of the Fast;

W h e a the leaping hlood grows slnggiah, A n d t h e fire of yooth hath fled:

When the friends irho now surroond us. Half are nmnbered w i t i the dead;

When the years appear to shorten. Scarcely IcariD?^ ns a trace;

When old Time, » i t h bold approaches. Mar ts the dials on my face!

When onr present hcpes, all gathered. Lie l i t e dead flnwers im oar track;

When the whole of oar existence I s one feantd looking back;

When each wa.-ted hour of talent Scarcely mea:3ured now at a l l .

Sends its witness back to h a u n t us. l i k e the wri t ing on the waUi

When the ready tongue is palsied. And the form ia bowed with care;

When mir only help is Heaven, And our only hope is pravrr;

When onr idols, broken roond us. F i l l amid the r a n t s of men—

Dibh, of Typhoid Pneumonia, at the rc-siJence of _ j r hu.sband in Stewart County Tennes.sec .S>s!<' Ei.iZ-iBKTn J . Dl-n, daughter of Jac'K.son I. ! Sarah n u n . of Kentucky.

She was b c m on the 9lh of December. 1 an l married to Josiah J . Dun, of Tennes.«ee. in March 1848. Professed religion in the fall of Ift"^ an l united with the Baptist Church a t Big Rick , in which she lived a pioas and devotf.1 l 'n - t ian imtil her death.

Sister Dun was an afiectionate wife a kind ni..i.ti-er, and a good neighbor. She Iwre her alUirlion wi th great patience and christian resignatiiin. de-siring to live only for the cause of Chri.-^t and thu welfare of her family, but vs she drew near th" en. I of her earthly existence. overKh'-lmcd by the divir.e pre-scnce- she called her family t n d friends aroui,.l her an.l told them that she was now ready to leave her children in the hands of tha t tio-l who had su>. tained her through life, and was with hcc now m death, and w i i whom she would forever dwell in gl.<ry. She exhor t -^ her father and all her rela-tives to prepare to meet her in heaven. She t..l.l her brothers and sisters present to be faithful for there was a glonoiLS reality in religion yes Kai l she, that same religion I obtaindl. now tills my soul with love to my Savior, and it was that same Un« that I felt for Uiin when I was b u n e d with hnn in baptism. Yes. said she, I love his cause 1 lovi- the Baptist Church—I love all christians, but especial ly my brethren t a d sisters - t e l l them all farewell I s l i^ l never meet them asiam in the earthly sam tuary, but loll them to look to heaven and there I shall have a scat wi th my Savior. She spoke with interest of the Savior and his cause, until as it were, overwhelmol by the divine presence, she shoiitiil aloud the praises of (iod, and. at intervals would repeat par t s of h y m n s suited to the prai.se of her Redeemer, and exprv-ssinp her unshaken cnnlid.-n.n-in his salvation—but at length the hour of her dis-.wlution arrived, and on the (ith Decemlicr, about 4 o cloi-k. A. M., she calmly fell vsleep in the arms of Jesu.<, leaving a kind h u s l a n d and many rt:lativesto mmiro her loss, bu t we should not mourn a s those- who have no hope, for our lo.ss is her rti-r nal gain.
