"But what are the objects of these societies? Why are they kept secret? la not their secrecy a suspicious cir-cumstance?" But Ave do not know-that they keep the objects of their so-cieties secret.

which we prove by our conduct in re-

lat ion to our own tables.

The real difficulty is not communion ;

it is that the two parties are one Bap-

tists and the other Pedobaptists; so

long as this state of th ing shall contin-

ue, the real difficulty wil l be found to

exist.

1 wan t you my Baptist brother,

when you arc beset about commun ion

to know, that the war is against the

Baptist church really; whether it is so

intended or not, I do not charge the

Pedobaptist church with a wan t o f can-

dor, but 1 know from experience that

they are mistaken when they think

that commun ion is the real difhculty.

1 would make a few remarks to those

per?nns who are Baptists in sentiment

and have jo ined PadobajUist churches

on account of commun ion .

I f all Pedobaptists would do what

you belie\ c to be their duty, would you

have any fault to find of the Baptist

church? (Jh! no, for then the question

o f commun ion would be out of the way:

do you not th ink, that the Baptist

church is oryranized and governed ac-

cording to the laws of Jesus Christ?

the answer is unavoidable. 1 do: do you

not believe, that sprinkl ing for bap-

tism and tak ing infants into the church

is the work of man , and altogether un-

authowzed by the word of God? I do;

then you conclude, that because men

disobey the laws of Christ and organ-

ize according to their own notions,

that it is your duty to ahanJond the di-

rections of Christ, and aid those who

are l iving in violation of his laws to

prostrate his churches. Tthat is the

Baptist church is wrong: because the Pe-

dobaptists wil l not do their duty. .Now

this is a fair exhibition of the case un-

sophisticated.

1 say to h im, 1 8ui)pose you are wi l l ing

conscience requires me to be sprink-

led, and 1 demand it, at your hands.

1 am shocked at the proposition, talk

about my conscience, the N e w Tesla-

too late, to make any such objections;

you hold bapt ism a prerequisite to the

no, wha t next; as I have done it, I

must justify it, right, or wrong, and

when the Bapt ist church preaches to

the world, that spr inkl ing is as valid a

is eternally settled. The Bapt ist church

open commun ion ; I became satisfied , ^^ ^^^^^^^ restraints around the sa-

that I was wrong, burnt my book, broke up my church, and joined the Baptist church. Riding along one day, reflect-ing about it, my mind passed through this train of reflection:

In the days of the apostles, churches were formed and governed upon the same principles, the apostles were di--vinely inspired; hence there could be no mbunderstanding, and as the churclies were all organized and gov-erned alike,—the members of the dif-ferent churches had easy access into any of the churches, into which they

cred inst i tut ion; but some saj% that

they have no right to debar any one. I

wil l j u s t cal l the at tent ion o f the read-

er, to the 5th chapter o f 1 Cor inth ians

11th verse. " I f any man tha t is called

a brother be a fornicator, covetous, &;c.

«kc., w i t h such an one no no t to eat . "

U p o n PedobaptUt principles, l ean

settle this quest ion very easily. N o w

for the Pedobapt ist ground-rthe sacra-

men t came in the room o f the pass-

renmrks, in relation to the

church.

1 never was inori^ surprised than

when 1 r(!ad his book; 1 knew that Iu;

was a strong sectarian; but I had no

idea of his bitter recklessness, and I

am altogether at a loss now. about the

m a n , in tiiis affair: my difficulty wil l

hereailer appear. There can be no

doubt about his intent ion, in the pub-

lication of his book: it is not to bring

about that for which christians pray,

and which is more to be desired than

any th i ng earthly—christ ian union; his

object not to convince us, that we are j

wrong, in brotherly love and christian

affection; but his object is to destroy

the influence o f the Baptist church, by

mak i ng the world believe, that we arc

not christians: he is indeed, so far as

his influence extends, doing malici-

ous, murderous work, and I do regret

the seeming w a n t of candor on

his part. As to his intent ion, as he

sets out ostensibly to kill the Camp-

belUtes; but all the t ime that he is talk-

ing about Campbel l i tes, he keeps his

eye on the Baptists, and finally he

winds out of his circumlocution, and

says the Campbel l i tes and the Baptists

are the same people.

I wi l l n ow in conclusion, present

some o f the absurdities o f his book.

Page 103 he presents an organized

church, a nd says infants "are by their

parents to be brought into the visible

church: the church of Christ, and into

co\-enant wi th God by whatsoever sign

and seal he may have appointed in the

place o f t h e first, which was circumcis-

ion; and we k now of no other divinely

appointed init iatory, but water bap-

t b m . Infants ought to be baptised un-

til God forbids i t . "

Here he has a n organized church.

By bapt i sm pereons enter into his

church, and by bapt ism they enter into

covenant wi th God , page 118 and 119

O n page the 8th he says^ that the

Baptists say, " n o immersion no bap-

tism. and no promises in the Bible to

the un immersed; leav ing them to the

uncovenanted mercies of the Lord,

which is the same sen t iment ' ' This is

a n a rgument to pr6ve,that the Baptists

a n d Campbel l i tes are 'one . la i t not

strange, tha t brother Burrow should be

as a spiritual bui lding, and he has In-

fants in ti.at bui ld ing, and holds the

doctrine o f the final perseverance ofthe

the same indi viduals when they grow

up, and tells them,- unless they repent,

they wi l l be damned. Oh ! consistency,

whither hast thou fled. I promised to

grace for all; and the commission was

to preach to the gospel of the grace of

God to all; and to baptise all , all mani-

festly for whom there was grace, i f

there was no grace for Infants then it

seems, they shall not have the .=ign

and seal o f grace." The premises

present a platform jus t broad enough

for the world, and brother Burrow puts

a little Infant on it, wha t is the legiti-

mate conclusion Irom the premises, that

he should preach to all for whom there

is grace; is there grace for Idiots? bro.

Burrow says, grace for all , he is there-

fore bound by his own logic to preach

to Idiots, is there grace for 8 days old

Infants? "grace for al l ," h e ' m u s t

preach the gospel to such. Is there

grace for wicked men? "Grace for a l l "

he must baptize wicked men. Is there

grace for the Infants of unbelievers?

"grace for all."' Oh me! W h y does not

b:o. Burrow baptize a l l his congrega-

tion? of all sizes, colors, ages and de-

scription; for according to his ow-n

showing, by so doing he would br ing

them into covenant with God and the

Lord's pronuses are sure, and in this

way they would all get to heaven and

that by water b.iptism.

while one does the work of death upon

a small scale, the other is destined to

do a wholesale business, (the fornier in-

fidelity, tlie latter Baptists and Camp-

bellites.) Infidelity may boast its thou-

sands while this Ism its tens of thou-

sands slain. W h a t Ism? it is true,

that there is some ambiguity- in the

term Ism, but brother B U I T O W makes

a labored exhibit of features and

characteristics, to show, that Camp-

bellites and Baptists are the same peo-

ple. He says 'they all meet in the

water and make that the Polar Star,

the one thing needful; so you see he

exults, that he has proved that there is

no difference between Campbell ites

and Baptists, mak ing every charge

tliat applies to (me applicable to the

other, with the alone exception, that

the Campbell i tes arc open commu-

nionists and therefore preferable to

the Baptists.

.MAXIMS FOR MARRIED LADIES. The fol lowing maxims, if pursued

wil l not only make the men in love

with marriage, but cause them to be

good husbands; The first is to be good

yourself. Avoid all thoughts of man-

ag ing a husband .—Never try to de-

ceive or impose on his understanding,

nor give him uneasiness; but treat h im

wi th affection,' sincerity, and respect.

Remember that husbands, at best, are

only men, subject like yourselves to er-

ror and frailty. Be ;not too sanguine,

then, before marriage, or promise your-

self happiness without a l loy .—Should

you discover any thing in his humor or

behavior not altogether wha t you ex-

pected or wish, pass it over, smooth

your owTi temper, and try to mend

his,attention, by cheerfulness and good

nature .—Never reproach h im with mis-

fortunes, which are the accidents and

infirmities o f l i fe—a bun len which

each has engaged to assist the other in

support ing, and to which both parties

are equally exposed—but instead of

murmur ing and reflections, divide the

sorrow between you; make the best of

it, and it wi l l be easier to both .—I t is

the innate office o f the softer sex to

soothe the troubles o f the other. Re-

solve every morn ing to be cheerful all

day, and should any th ing occur to

break your resolution, suffer it not to

pu t you out of temper wi th your hus-

band . Dispute not wi th h im, be the

occasion wha t i t may ; but much soon-

er deny yourself the trifle of hav ing

your o w n wi l l , or ga in ing the better o f

an a rgument , than risk a quarrel, or

create a heartburn ing which it is im-

possible to see the end of. Impl ic i t

submission in a m a n to his -wife, is ev-

er disgraceful to both; but impl ic i t sub-

mission in the -wife, is wha t she prom-

ised a t t l y altar, wha t the good wi l l re-

vere her .fot,^and w h a t is, i n fact, the

greateS^ honor she can receive.

Be assured, a woman's po-wer, as well as her happiness, has no other foundation than her husband's esteem and love) which it is berinterest by all possible means, to preserve and in-crease. Study, Ae^ore , hia temper and command your own. Ei\jDy him with satisfaction, share and sooAe his cares, and with the utmost assiduity conceal hia infinnitiea.

He wished to,be baptized.—^The writer of the communication, a Methodist li-centiate, referred faim to his patents. They decided, that immersion would be highly improper, the son being so sick, and they requested the minister to baptize him by pouring. This waa done. Some days afterwards, a Pres-byterian <dergyman administered to him the Lord's Supper, the parents of the young man and others partaking with himJ

Now, lite affirm that these circum-stances d» not prove "immersion 'and close communion not to be best, at all times."

Thefollowing paragraph from Buck's AdvierHser more fully explains the treat-ment experienced by the prisoner.

'^For &e sake of fivepence, Simonds, in a great measure, endures all the ri-gors of a common felon, in Ms solitary cell, although unconvicted,being doom-ed to the operation of a series of regu-ations wluch, we doubt not, are es-ential under specific circumstances.

in making a defence, was rejected by the authorities, and not allowed to be submitted to him; and a copy of our )aper, also transmitted to Simonds

t h r o u ^ the Governor, was treated in the same way, by (as we understand) the Visiting justices. Now, let it be )ome in mind, that Simonds is merely in gaol at present, for want of bail."

Arid now, reader, for what purpose think youj does the parish demand this rate of 5d.of the Baptist minister? Is it to provide bread for the poor? Not at all. Is it to provide instruction for the ignorant? Not at all. John Si-monds is "committed to take his trial at the Quarter Sessions, on a chaise of resisting to pay the great sum of

ce for the bread and wine, the cushions,, and the cassock, of a parish church!"—a church whoM "bread and wine" he never touches, and from whose "cushions and cassocks" he de-rives no benefit,-—a church which he .does not believe to be after the Scrip-tural pattern, and for whose support he caniiot, therefore, with a gocKl con-

The expenses of the So-ciety over and above what accrue from profits, are made up by legacies and moneys from auxiliary Societies, were it not for these it would become involv-ed at the rate of one or two thousands per year. Such are the evils unavoid-ably entailed upon every Society, like constituted.

All the moneys contributed each year, by individuals and Societies, are swallowed up in house rents and in the salaries of agents,.together with all the profits instead of gratuitous distribtion of our Tennessee Baptist Publication Society, all such moneys go to swell the permanent fund.

This is one of the features of our So-ciety which must give it a superiority over all oth«rs.

The General Association each year will appoint an Executive Board, which will exmine and rccommend the books to be published for, or circulated among, the churches and receive the annual reports of the Board of Mana-gers. In this way the denomination can protect itself against the dissemi-nation of improper doctrines and sen-timents.

In our next we will publish the Bye-aws to be adopted at the next meeting

of the Board.

REMARKS ON THE CHARTER. As we promised in our last No., we

lay before our readers in this, the charter of the Tennessee Baptist Pub-lication Society. It consists of but two Sections. The 1st defines the powers of the Socictj'—i. e. the same as those of any other corporate body, as re-spects the power of declaring or filling vacancies, of sueing and defending, &c., of making bye-laws for its govern-ment, receiving voluntsiry donations upon such terms as may be stipulated in the bye^laws.

The power to invest in real estate &c. property amounting to $10,000 if necessary, but this must be so invested as to yield annually, so long as thus invested a dividend of 6 per cent to the Society. SEC. 2nd, seta forth the objects of

the Society, i. e. to disseminate far and wide religious literature most ef-fectually, obtaining books by purchase and publication,—for which purpose i t provides'for th^'establishment of a per-manent ftmd of any amount (upon the conditions regulated by the bye-laws) by voluntaiy gift or devise, the interest of which, fund to be returned in books to the donor if he desire, for gratuitous distribution, otherwise it will be di-rected bj* the Board of Managers.

W e can explain the workings of this Society under- i ta Charter, thus: A gives 50 dollars to this Society. He has the privilege of directing three dol-lars (thiB intereat) so long as he UTCS, in any book or tract, say Howell on Communion, or Pengilly, or Jewett on Baptism, to" be distributed gratmtously in any place, he may even, designate what book or tract the interest "on this money shall aid to distribute, during hia life and after his death, so long aa t h e existence of flie Federal Compact.

•All 'will see at once that this Socie-ty is to be conducted onsoch ap ian as to save large expenditures. There are no S e c u r e s , no house rents, no inter-eats to be paid, no insurances, no tax-es, nd depository agents and clerk hire

THE FIGTREE PUTTING FORTH ITS LEAVES.

Yes, and the enterprise of the Tenn. Pub. Society is rapidly gaining ground, and making for itself warm friends all

the South West. Two objects will engage our attentions during the present year. To consummate them will call in requisition our most ener-getic efforts.

1st. To put our religious paper in-to ever>' baptist family in the State.

2d. Establish a Church Library of 100 volumes or more, and organize an Auxilliar>- Publication Society in ev-ery Church in the State.

The object of this society is to ex-tend the circulation of its religious pa-per, and the wide spread dessimination of denominational and religious liter-ature. It holds out a plan by which one is made to aid and accomplish the other. The paper has been so much enlarged that it cannot be longer af-forded at $1,50. We cannot believe that any brother will be so ungener-ous as toe i sk i t of us. It is now the cheapest periodical in the South, and we intend to make it still more worthy of patronage. But by a connection with the Publication Society we are able to hold out such inducements as to secure its immediate introduction in-to every Baptist family. We ofier 1200 pages of i«ligiouB and denomina-tional fracts to every brother, sister or Chqrch that will send us the names of 5 new subscribers and $10. These little books can then be circulated gra-iuitously, within or without the bounds of the church. Brother after brother is securing for himself 1200 pages of religious literature, with which to do good. Bro. Meacham, bro, G. Wright; are the ministers, who have already responded, and received their books, and bro. Borthickalay brother has just sent US in the quota.

For we now say that any church sending us 10 new subscribers, shall receive 3000 PAGES OF REUGIODS TRACTS!! These will form of them-selves quite a library, rnaking 5 or 600 little books. Will not some active brother in each church secure this? The caus^ must go forward, for THE SISTEES WILL AU) RR.

BBETBR£N EDITOKS: I enclose to you in this letter 50 cts.,

for Bro. Island's Library, as I feel it to be my duty to aid some in so good an object. I also send you 25 cts., and

BRETBEEN EnrroBs: Enclosed you will find one dollar,

for which I want you to send me- a choice selection of Tracts on Temper-ance, for the benefit of the young men's Temperance Society, which has y ^ recently been organised in the vicinity of Bradly's Creek Church upon the fol-lowing principles (viz.) 1st. that each member shall pay ten cents w^heri he joins the society, which moneys are to be -laid out in tracts on temperance— 2nd, That if any member be known to use spirituous liquors except in case'of s;cknes9, he shall forfeit the sum often dollars to be recover^le by law, and such money to be appropriated as the society may direct.

I will here say that those young men who got up this society .were none of them members of the church, enough I think to make all church members who are in the habit of dram drinking ashamed and abandon forever that sin-ful and disgusting practice. As 1 have been requested to fend you a com-munication and get those tracts, please forward them as soon as convenient.

I think those young men deserve great commendation for their praise-worthy design, and as I feel incompe-tent to do them justice, will you please to give them their due.

Yours Affectionately, W . D . BAKER.

For the Tennessee Baptist. AN Aaa'SlNG ANECDOTE.

A certain church, having repaired their house of worship, purchased a stove, thought it necessary to employ some one to perform the ofSee of sex-ton, in order to have the stove hot and the house warm, before the congrega-tion collect^. Accordingly an old servant, familiarly called Uncle Bob, was employed, who entered on his du-ties the next day. He came early and had the house in very good order, but soon after the congregation met. Uncle Bob disappeared, and went home, much disconcerted from some cause. When he came to give the reason to the family, why he acted so, he said, I moved every bench and swept out the house clean and nice, but when the people came, the men crowded arovmd the stove, chewed their tobacco, and spit all over the floor, which I worked BO hard on to make it look well. This hurt my feelings so bad, I was obliged to leave. Let us now reflect, here waa an illiterate African descendant, ac-cording to his statement, so disgusted, that he left the worshiping assembly. How many others E ^ similarly disgus-ted by spectacles of . tWs kind, we can-not say; we are sure," that every indi-vidual of refinement and cidtivated taste loathes such a scene, and doubt-less the tobacco chewers themselves, are somewhat reluctant to look at the puddles they make. Now would i tnpt be well for them to recollect that some are displeased if not nauseated with such a sight? Jf Unci? Bob was,'might we not reasonably suppose tlmt every one, even the most uncultivated, has a_ sense of propriety suffilcient to render such a scene disgustful. .' But you may say, that so many use Ae weed, that there are but few to complain; but you have forgotten the l ^ e s who are con-stantly coinplaining. Did you never he£ir Aem? And we think they hseve a good right to complain, when_ the juice of tobacco mixed with 'aafiya is

?>uddled around the stove, in great pro-' usion, so tiiey cannot sit to warm,

wi&outbeing in danger of having the^ dresses soiled, perhaps r u i n ^ . ffyou have any r e g ^ . for ^ e f ee l fn^ ,o f

! if you thus abuse his sanctuarj^, be-sides, if they are disgusted, who they Inay not leavejyet it has a tendency to divert tlieir minds, from the all impor-tant subjectto which their minds should alone be directed and to consider and which they were called together. A-gain it interferes with your own de-votional feelings and with the devo-tion of those who sit near you, to say nothing of those at a distance. If you have well besmeared Jbe floor, or set afloat a stream or two, how can you, or your brethren kneel without think-ing of the dreadful predicament your pants will be in, unless you find a clean place, or keep your knees from touching the flow? In either case your attention and theirs will be directed from God to the puddle: thus the crea-ture tobacco, with its train of evils, is thought as much, or more of during the hours of worship than the creator. Shall these things be? But if I did not chew says a brother, I could not wor-ship for thinking of it. Then think and leave ofi"a useless practice which cost you much money, interfere.s with your devotional feelings, and that of your brethren, disgusts at least many of the congregation, spoils the appear-ance of ladies and gentlemen's clothes, interferes with the solemnity of pray-er, and soil the house of God and often the sacred desk. Leave it off at once, and appropriate the money you would spend for it, to the spread of the ever-lasting gospel, and you will accom-plish.a twofold;good. And who can tell how much you and others may be blessed.

How much happier would the church be at home, and how much more it would prosper abroad. But one might say, we will cling to our tobacoo but we will be more genteel, we vdll use boxes in church, and avert the evils you spake of. B u t t h b will not avert the evil; the boxes will discommode^ some, disgust others, and together with'" the tobacco, will divide the attention of the chewers, w hich attention should be concentrated in one focal point of devotion, upon the object of idl reli-gious adoration.

Let tobacco chewing then be discon-tinued, especially in time of divine ser-vice, and in the hoUse of God.,

BEETHEEsEDrroEs: I am happy in being able to an-

nounce to you, that the Baptist church in this place, after a longj i reary sea-son of spiritual dearth and sadreverses; has been, a t last, to some extent, Te-vived. Brother Bums, recently of Rus-aellville, has been laboring with, us for the last twelve days, and has preached to large and attentive audiences. At first, not much seriousness was mani-fest, but during the past week, we have been encouriiged by great so-leramty in the house of God. As many as eight conversions have taken place, and from twelve to fifteen others have presented themselves for the prayers of God's people. W e deeply regret, that brother Bums, t h r o ^ h whose instru-mentality, by the divine blessing, this gratifying interest has been chiefly a-wakened, is called away by previous engagements in Tennessee, a t the most promising crisis of the meeting. It will, however, be'" confinued by our Methodist brethren, who have through-out most cordially co-operated in the work. The services of brother ^ b b , stationed preacher of the Methodist E-piacopal church, have been highly ac-ceptible and efficient. W e confident-ly cherish the hope, tha t many more will soon be brought "to rejoice in the gbrioua liberty of the gospel.

The ear-ly pledge of afiection has been snatch-ed from iheir tender embrace, and is now one of the spirits above, and this fact should on the par t of its parents make heaven more attractive and en-dearing, to think that a part of them-selves is there; and the language of their hearts should be, as that of Da-vid and Job, you cannot come to me,, but I can go to you, the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.

With-out delay, I came, leaving my family at Monrovia. There being no house here suitable for divine worship, nor one which I could get for my own ac-commodation, I was obliged to build temporary houses in the native style, for my own residence and for a house of worship, until I could hear from you more particularly on this subject.— These houses being only temporary, were built on leased land, whicn I ob-tained for the term of eighteen months, but I have since drawn a lot from the governor for missionary purposes, as instrocted by brother Day.

ruary the 16th, 1848, Mr. Thos. Allen. Brother Allen, was in the sixty-se-

cond year of his age. Surrounded by a host of friends, to whom he had en-deared himself by his mild and ami-able disposition. H e was converted to God in August, 1846, and joined the Baptist church a t Bethany, after which he uved a decided ctaristianand meek-S' , and patiently borfr his cross up to

e time of his death. His last illness was short but severe. With delight may one gaze upon the heaven-bright countenance of the expiring saint, while standing upon the trembling confines of a retreating world, with the rod and staff of David's, God grasped firmly in hand, wsuting the signal to be given by the great Captjun of salva-tion, when the waters of Jordan woidd divide and he pass over to the promis-ed inheritance. I t may be said of bro-ther Allen truly, that he was not only a Mnd husband and an affectionate, fia-ther, but as far as christian benevo-lence was concerned, he was kind to the poor, and the widow and orphan shared bountifully of his benevolence. The wife and family of brother Allen must indeed miss him greatly, but have the sympathies of the church to which he belonged, and of the vicinity in which he lived. I have never known a death more lamented by friends and acquaintances in all my life; thus our brother sleeps beneath the silent clod, until awaked by the last loud t rump of Go&, when he will arise in the like-ness of hia Saviour.

here to-day, I drop you a hasty line.— It has jus t been one month to-day since we reached this fiir off land of heathen-ism. From Ai«ior, w e wrote you the particulars of our trying voyage. Many changes have taken place hews since I left, yet I find enough on all sides to remind me tha t I am once more in Chi-na , and truly my heart goes forth in

•tiiankfulness to God tha t I am again in my chosen field of labor. Until I ar-rived here, I had not a clear concep-tion o f h « w much my health had been invigorated by my visit to America.— All my old friends whom I meet, re-mark it. It has been the same with brother Dean. I regarded i t as my first business after arrival here, to give especial attention to the state of the church, (First Baptist Church, Canton.) Being left during my tdisence without ohtirchmi^tings or supervision, Icom-m e i ^ d iny tarfc -^with a tteinulous heart .

than we had anticipated. The horrors of a life a t sea, to us, have been great-ly exaggerated. Thus far we have not been permitted to form a very ex-tended acquaintance with the terrific scenes of a "life on the ocean wave," but have had simply an introduction. Up to July we had plea.sant weather. In lat. 40 degrees and long. 40 degrees, on the night of July 2nd, we were roused from sleep by the tramp of the sailors, the shrill cry the captain, and the still more hideous howling of the winds. W e found ourselves driven be-fore a violent gale. W e passed the remainder of the night as comfortably as possible. In the morning- the wind blew with indescribable violence. The sheet of the fore-topsail under close reef, parted from the belaying pin, but as the violence of the wind soon aba-ted for a minute, it was made fast without sustaining any injury. This weather continued until the 7th. The wind being well aft, our gallant ship made great speed, making, from the 25th of June to the 15th of July, 116 degrees of longitude. There is in a storm at aea something that is awfully sublime, and yet to a composed mind there is much that is beautiful.

By the mercy of God we trust soon to join our missionary friends, on the way to our appointed station.

If I could speak to my dear brethren of the churches, 1 would say, there is a weight of responsibility resting upon you. The heathen world must be con-verted to God. This can be effected only by the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Tha t the great mass of man-kind are without this boon of life i.s a startling fact. Look to the three hun-dred millions of perishing souLs in Chi-nti. Brethren! brethren! shall China be converted from heathenism? Will you/ 'come up with us to the help of the Lord against the mighty, and possess the land?" Brethren have long pray-ed tha t China might be opened for the reception of the gospel. Have you ev-er thought what your prayers would cost; that to have tiiem answered pla-ces you under the strongest possi-ble obligations to exert yourselves to the utmost to send the gospel to that people, since God in his providence has opened the way? To each one I would put this interrogation. Are you a mis-sionary? Do yon belong to a mission-ary church? What are you and your church doing for the heathen? Per-hays you are a missionary by profes-sion, but not in works. What does our Saviour say of those who profess to love him, and "keep not his command-ments? '

Dear brethren, pray for us, that we may be supportcid in our trials. May the Lord unite us in efforts, and bring us home to heaven together.

IS now thirty-eight. All are improving rapid-ly; twelve read well in the New Testa-ment. I am much in want of spelling books and Testaments, for which 1 pre-sume brother Day has written. T little church of which 1 have the pastor-al charge numbered eighteen members when 1 came liere. 1 have receivet since, by experience five, by baptism four, and 1 hope soon others may be

I brought in. When here, 1 conduct an interesting Sunday-school, composec chiefly of adults, all of whom are yet unable to read the Bible. They seeni anxious to learn. Besides this place, ~ visit occ asionally Millsburg, New Or leans settlement, New Geoi-gia settle ment, and Monrovia. Other places am accustomed to visit, where 1 talk to the people, rf God and of spiritua things. Though 1 have not yet seen any fruit of my labor, yet I hope to be instrumental in doing good.

My instructions from brother Da; say that I must keep a day school for American and native children, and preach among destitute churches in this vicinity, all of which I have endea-vored to do. But 1 find these labors more than I can discharge, without an assistant teacher. I have requested brother Day to notify you of this.

THE TREATY. The Nwional Int^igencer received Iwt

night contains what 18.understood to be the subKahce of the ftroposed treaty between tWs country and Mexico, which is as follows:

An armistice between the two countries dur-ing such time as the treaty shall be in sus-pense.

The boundary to bo the Rio Grande up to the line of the boundary of New Me&ico [which is about the lat. of 32=;] thence with some digressions, west, to some point south of the port of San Diego on the Pacific ocean.

AFRICAN MISSION. A P P O U R R S I E A T O F A jnssioN.\»T.

At the last meeting of the Board, Boston I. Drayton, a colored brother, w a s appointed their missionary to la-bor on the coast of Afiica, in connec-tion with those already in the field. It b expected he will sail in a few weeks. W e have now four missionaries for Af-rica, and the hope is entertained that soon the number will be doubled. The attention of pastors is called to this subject. In &eir meet i i^s for the col-ored people, by presenting the clfums of the African mission, Mid allowing them an opportunity of aiding in the woHt, their dimes and their dollars will be cheerfully contributed.

Letter of Frederick L James. W e have received a letter from bro-

ther James, one of our missionaries on the coast of Africa. The destitution of which he speaks, and the need of ad-ditional laborers, exists not only in his particular field, but for three h ^ d r e d milea^ along tiie coast. At ^ s very time we could give profitable employ-ment to iwenly additional evangelists in that interesting region. Will the chiHches enaWeua to send . them otU? Brother.Jamea thus writes:—

NINE MAXIMS FOR T H E CON-DUCT O F LIFE.

1st. Make no promises that you are uncertain of being unable to perform.

2nd. Deception soon begets distrust. It debases a man in his on eye. W e should have too much pride to deceive others. The oflispring of one decep-tion is legion. It marches to its pur-poses, accompanied by meanness and all the petty vices in the calendar.

3rd. The man who hopes to enrich himself suddenly, without honest in-dustry, differs little from the gambler, whose fortune is staked upon the cast of a die. Virtues without number hedge the path of industrious and per-severing laborers. Perhaps a fond wife and children are to be supported. Prefaced thus we give this maxim: Let gambling in all its forms be shunned; from it no virtues spring; but on the contrary all vices. Chances in lot-teries and inordinate speculation, are other names for gambling, and are a-like opposed to habits of industry.

4th. Act as if you were to continue always in what station of a public character you may be placed, (even if appointed for a very limited period.

5th. Fear not to have each and ev-ery action of your life open to the in-spection of mankind. Remember that a nicer casuist than man sees into your best actions. Answer to him and fear not the face of man.

6th. Tell not all your thoughts, yet speak the truth always and boldly.

7tii. W h a t you have to do, do quick-ly, for procrastination will lead to for-getfulness.

8th. Let not a desire to be thought well of lead you to exhibit your talents upon all occasions. But greatness and worth ia always clothed in a modest exterior. It is the vice of little minds to go abroad gaudily attired like the

T I O N . — W e have the Proceedings of the Fifth Annual meeting of this body, held at Nashville, Tennessee, October 28-30, 1847. President T. G. Blewett; Corresponding Secretary, S. Dyer.

The Report gives a tabular view of the Indian tribes contiguous to the Un-ited States. The population of twen-ty three tribes thus given is 202,210. Laboring among these, are 35 Bap-tist missionaries. Of these tribes, Ae Cherokeea and Choctaws, number-ing 46,000, have adopted most of the habits of civilized life; have printing presses, schools and churches, and are very good farmers. The Creeks and Seminoles, 27,000 in number, are men-tioned as rapidly advancing.

The Association resolved to memo-rialize the United States Government on the subject of setting apart a Se-cond Indian Territory, for exclusive Indian occupation. The memorial has since been forwarded to Waahington.

The Association has under its care 6 stations, 20 preaching stations, 18 mis-sionaries, 7 churches, 3 schools. There are about 500 communicants.

The receipts of the last year were S9,603,17. Theexpenditures,S7,039,-40.

W e notice numerous errors in the spelling of the names of Life Mem-bers, particularly of those in Alabama. For these, we fear, our good brother Da%-i3, the Agent, must be responsi-ble.
