Ex. 30: 17-21. In the origmal the laver is termed loviera, firom lotto, to bathe, .and the act of "washing" is expressed by the verb nipto—(nipUsthai, nipsetai, and nipsontai,) and not by haptizo or bapto. "A third sort was the purifying of various mideannesses, (Lev. 15,) clones stained with blood in offering sacrifices, and utensils which were scoured and rinsed in water.

A copy of Brother Godoard's version, best paper, bound in best style is now on its way in the ship—••Mandarin" for your Board's Library—care of I. T. Smith, Esq.. 101 Wall street New York. Please send for it. This is a beautifid copy. I know of none more so. and its fame among the missionaries placcs it in the foremost rank as to ezccUence and so far as I have examined it I am well pleased with it, and can mose heartily distri bute it with both hands—while each of the oth- er ver4ons have material draw back, that were r t b d i ^ b u t e them'at all it would only be with partial assent-rrthis not so—but with sincere and full assent! I am now distiibuiug daily, and am much gratified at the privilege. Itis needful h,ere Sways to distribute—^persons are constantly coming and going, who perhapn never before received a single leaf of the word of life! But I feel still more anxious to be at Nanking, where fewer copies of the scripture, have been distributed and the promise of results is great- er. Here 1 ought to make one remark? When it is perceivcd that Tae peng Wang himself is printing and tlistributing the Holy Scriptures without note or comment, it may be thougtbt unnecessary for us to make much effort on the subject. Not so! If he supplies the means of distribution, he will dictate, as cA-ery Bible Society does, what shall and what shall he not be circulatcd; and soon, may we not fear, he will extend his dictation too far, unless we make an early effort to break that spell!— And though the version he is now circulating —Dr. Gutslaff's may be esteemed second best, as ha\-ing the right term for baptism, yet yOTir Bible Board must supply the means for the circulation of Brother Goddards's version, then whether it shall be adopted by Tae ping Wang or not, we Avill try to avoid the appear- ance of evil in allowing him, if he would, to dictate what shall and what shall not be circu- lated. I will endeavor to get him to adopt Goddard's vei^on as I know the one he ap- proves will enjoy-a high vantage ground.— Yet if he declines doing so, I do not Tyi«h. that to prevent its circulation for want of tEe means! Nor do I suppose our denomination generally wouM; then brethren, I am happy to see you coming up to the help of the Lord with so much leal and energy in this particu- lar. Letit not discour-ge you, ihat we have not rercbed Nanking so soon as you expected This has only given us a little time to rest upon our oars, and renew our strength for a,niorr vigOToua ontset when w e ^ t there. I am now daHy learning-the Nxiikipg;^ maudlin dialect of aNankmg man,, and hope to be beUer prepar- ed for usefolness -when I get there, than if I had reached ^ere last August,,whin I aimed to The Loid, who. spea the end lyprn'the beginning and has promised to guide ?»s by hi» eje, i»w it be4t for me not to get there, so soon tt-^i^willbe'dionel..,... ^ - is ta&c-i k, ' Ssw-taiieiiisiy^te'ttf s n j f t ^ k t W r l ^ n i t J j ^ ^ ^ as to leave tne fo^t Inore JAdepea' gingoi^ bonxiwfcg' ' W i a r f ttol; ttffri^eaotto to our other expenses: -Less than 8100 per m ^ t h , will not I presume cover our expensed, and'we are enthely dependent for that on the free and voluntary contributions of our breth ren. Our mission property in Canton has only been an expense to us since -we left it. I hope the brethren of my own native State—Tennes see—will feel it a privilege to lead m sending supplies. I am gratified to see the "Teimes- see Baptist" speaking out in good earnest on this subject. This wilj^ tnist supersede th necessity of our appealing to the sympathie^i of our brethren and begging for ourselves.— We have concluded this year, to trust in the Lc rd and do good, hoping that we shall dwell in the land and verily be fed from the bonnti ful and voluntary liberality of our brethren; or in any way that he may aporo/e—"for our heavenly father know^th that we have need of all-these things"—Mathew, 6: 32. Brother Goddard is now having a ^et of blocks cut for his version of the New Testament which he says I can have to take with me to Nan- king; hence with the blessing of the Lord, I shall be able at once to enter upon my dutie:> when I get there. I also requested him, the other day when here, to prepare a denominational catechism 'or distribution, at Nanking, and else where. Such we must have to maintain our vantage ground as Baptists. And I hope my Baptist brethren will supply me with the means to circulate it. Brethren Goddard and McGowan of Ningpo are very kind, and doing w^hat they can to promote our usefulness at Nanking. Our health is very good—thank the Lord. Breth- ren pray for us. I hope my next quarterly rtport will be from Nanking. May the good Lord direct our steps.. Yours in Christian Love. I. J. ROBERTS. P.

But so t always was. More than a century and a half ago, old Thomas Groutham, a "messen- ger of the baptized cbnrches" in England, wrote on this subject, and I ask permisnon to ext«ct a. tir'enemies the^nselves being judges, even in this day of vut ip)p|ovemen^: £itt ^ are poor. unable to al RepnbUcs of the Midi Spain—aiid the Prinoesof Provence, or Sonth- eiia France—all these at times, and even for long periods, gave protection to the peraeiStat- ed Baptists; who were known alike by their orginal name of Cathari, the fubi ; and by the subsequent names of Paulicians, Paterines, and Poor Men of Lyons, down to the begin- ning of the twelfth century—as appears from the successive edicts issued against them.* At this point of time they were joined by some illustrious reformers from the Church of Rome, such as PsTata ba B epis, (a. d . 1104 to 1124,) H enbt and J uskfh , his disciples, ( a. d. 1116 to 1148,) andAsBOLD of B bkscia, (a. d 1136 to A. n. 1166,) with whom the present volume begins its "Memorials of Baptist Martyrs." From the rapid review we have now taken of the history of the Baptist Martyrs from the beginning, we gather some interesting conclu- sions: 1. That the Baptists have no difficulty what- ever in tracing up their principles and their churches to the Apostolic age. It has been often said by our enemies, that we originated in the German city of Munster, in 16.34. La- mentable must be the weakness or ignorance of such an assertion, come from whom it may. It were easy to cite eminent Pedobaptist his- torians, to refute this calumny—especially Limborch and Mosheim, of the last century. But we preftr to quote two historians of the present century, selected by the King of Hol- land to draw up a history of the "Origin of the Dutch Baptists," for the use of the gov emment. Dr. Ypeig, professor of theology at the University of Groningen, and Dr. J. J. Dermont, chaplain to the king—both of tbe Dutch Reformed Church—in the authentic vol- ume thus prepared, and published at Breda, m 1819, come to-the folkwing deliberate con- clusions: "The Mennonites are descended from the tolerably pure evangelical Waldenses, who were driven by persecution into various coun- tries; and who, during the latter part of the twelfth century, fled into Flanders, and mto the provinces of Holland and Zealand, where they lived simple and exemplary lives—in the vil- lages as farmers, in the towns by trades—free from the charge qf any gross immoralities, and professing the most pure and simple prin- ciples, which they exemplified in a holy con versation. They were therefore in existence long b^oreike Reforined Church of the Netherlands." Again: "We have now seen that the Baptists, who were formerly called Anabaptists, and in later tunes Mennonites, were the original Wal- denses; and who have long in the history of the Church, received the honor of that origin. O k tuis account the B aptists mat be cos- SIDEBKD AS t h e OBLX C h ETSTIAK COMMUKITr WHICH HAS STOOD SINCE THE DAi S OF THE ApOS- tl £8; asd as a C hristian S ocietv which-has I'BESEBVED PDEE IHK DOCTRINE OP THE Gosi 'EL TUROUQH ALL AOEs. The perfectiy correctex"' temal and internal economy of the Baptist de- nomination, tends to confirm the tru^, dilut- ed by the Romish Church, that the Reforma- tion brought about iu the sixteenth century, was in the highest degree necessary; and at tbe same time goes to refute the enwneous no- tion of the CathoUcs, that their communion is the most ancie;»t,"f Let it be remembered that the learned men who say this, and say it aloud in the ear of majesty, after diligent investigation, are not themselves Baptists.

We see another &ct, which givt a pecu- liar and glorious feature to our denomination. Much as the Baptists have suffered from others, they have never retalliated—never, when in pow er, pleaded for the principle of persecution, or pil^t in practice; but have stood forth, among persecuting sects, solita^ and alone, as the fearless champions and examples of liberty o< c<msdence. This they have done, too, on set- tied Scriptural principles, pecuHar to their views of baptism; and hence have pleaded for liberty of conscience to the fullest extent.— Witness the periods of jlheir power in Italy— in Armenia, Syria and Asia Minor—in South em France—in the Mediaeval Roman Repub- lic—in Poland in ihe sLzxenth century—in England, Ireland, and especially Rhode Island in the se\-entcenth in the United States at tht formation of the American Constitution; anu since then in the new Constitutions of th. States—in many of which States they were a clear majority of the population. No sect whose origin dates back two centuries, can share with them this glory. The Queers, the Moravians, and the Methodists, are^f more recent origin. The principle of relijB.jus lib erty—a distinguishing principle of th in all ages—we are however happy now universally a d o p ^ by other c tions in the United States—and is fa' ing over the world. 6. The Baptists—though for the aost part of the poor of this world, rich in iJ»!lh only, and unknown to fame, as were tbe primitive Christians—have yet, in almost all ages, had of their number men of the most eminent learning and ability, who died as martyrs to the faith. From the time of Novatian, indeed, it has been customary with their adversaries to call the whole body by the name of its most distinguished leader—as if they were OTly a new sect, of which he was the originator. Thus the Cathari were called Novatians—then Pau- licians—then Petrobrusians, Henricians, Jose- phists—then Amoldists—Waldenses—LollMds —Mennonites; nor were they ever permitted to bear their present name of B aptists , until after their legal toleration, in England, in 1688. Yet to them, as we have seen, belong all the inspired writers of the New Testament—the sources of our Christian literature—Matthew^ Mark, Luke, John, James, Jude, Peter and Paul himself, the accomplished pupil of Gam- aliel. To them belong all the Christian writ ers of the second century, including Justin Martyr, Irena;us, Clement of Alexandria, Ter- tullian, and in tbe next age, Hippolytus, and even Origen himsclE.

At tnig npon a sense of "daly to ^ to .some pkce of worship on the Sabbath day y^gn he tad no appointment of his own," he fiiana hhnsr-lf sometime Jast year, (he doe;-not s ^ whei^)at "the Baptist meeting-hons< on Dt^ C n ^ Edgefield District, S. G.," where the "drcnmstnnrea occnrred wliich made it proper for him to"—preach a controversial sermon. The [usmcher on that occaaon, not having the fear of conbovcrsy before his eyes, chose to harraagne the people on the snl^ect of haptism. In this harrangoer says our an-thor, be "denounced the Lutherans and Meth-odius iofwhat he contemptnonslT called'ba-JsY sgnniJingr.' and, fixing Jiis eye on me, and planting his fingv at me, exclumed, 'Itaa can out w r ^ me, I know, bat to the Bible—boxied wiJi bim in baptism/ " ^

:Hii£EirtBnat^T, Mr. McCaine's eonscioasn ^oC I j fp ips good wziter, jud his conTictian he waa the only one in the hoose snpeiior the pxeadier, were so strong that he seemed not tea: a moment to have suspected that some one elfie may have been in the line of the "eye," and thf "fingeTr" to whom reference may hare been made—or that the preacher may hate been addressing the "personification of an idea." Our author, however, construed the language of tiie preacher into an ovtright inaidt—why, it would not be tasy to divine. It is not comman for men to become angry when public testimony h borne to their capaci-ty, especially when the>j are conscious that the compliment is j u ^ He scamfuHy refused to "reply to Mr. Williams." though "several jpmtlemen" intimated that it was expected; "ibr," said he, "a man who could so grosdy outrage every prmciple of good breeding and piety, was bdow my notice." Had "the Bap-tists in the neiciibarho^^^^k^^ed their pro-penailies, here was a a S H n m i t y for our author even yet to have l i e^^^ t of the &p-tuagint; but Ur ey, knowing wrUtr h e laat, and eonstming the silence of such a man un&voraMy to hia cause, "boasted that 'baby sprinkling' could not be defended, and that

said he, "knew ii( ctaddnot.'' and—ikit ser-maa vastka eameqvenee.

Our ol^ect in thLi notice is not so much to rtpiy to Mr. McCaine as to ezpate hun.. The "arguments" he advances aire stich aa are con-tained in all t'le pubHcations on tUa sde of the queation; and tiiey have been tiine and again refitted; fi ii only that wMcIt is peiraliar to himself which demands notice from iis, and that m the most summary way. -The oft re peated and never Touted assertion of Bapti^ in i tos , that '•the verb Sa^iso has but one meaiinig, wHcB ia to inimOTe, and in e y ^ care whOT fhislrtrfqOTni in &e Bible it bears tfaia iDean Tts> and :will adniit of no other/ ' i> tbat whiiA tarpit^s^ to m<Mtf and' d^rov^.

•'And Joseph washed (iigjtiud) his &ce, asd-iteat oat and refrained himsdf^and said, set on bread." (Gen. 43: 31. ..

Again, not iaj^iso is used, but i t ^ o (ntjwa-menoi) r^

"Tbd daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash lu-rself in the river when f h -found Moses. 'And ihe dau^ihter of Pharadi came to wash herself at the river.'" Ex. 2: 6. •

The original is not baptizo but lotto {loutas-thai.)

"Bathsheba was wasbinsf \haptizing'\ hierself on the roof (?) of her house wt'en D^vid saw her. 'And it came to pass in an evening tide, ihat David aro^e from off his bed^ and waJJced upon the roof of his house; and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself.' 2 Siun. 11:2 No proof here that Bathsheba submerged herself on the roof (?) of her hou e."

Here, again, not bapiuo is nsed, but louo (lovoTOfjien.)

"The second class of :washing. was called ritual. &c. &c. The.-e are called purijicati&mt, and there are several of them. One was the consecration of priests who were washed, &c And Aan-n and bis f ons thou shalt bring unto

(he door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall wash \baptize\ them wi h water.'— E i 29: 4. The original here cannot mean to ^\dmerge—all the circumstance of the case for-bid such a meaning." - '-The original here" is not hapiio, but lovo

{loutdt.) "A second sort of washing was daily—'And

the Lord spake unto Moses saying: Thou shalt also make a laver of brass to wash \b<yatize\ withal: and thou shalt put it between the tab-emiude of the congr^ation ^ d the altar, and thou shah ^ t water t b d r ^ , for Aaroit aod his sons shall wash their hands and feet there-at. When they go into the tabemade of the

ticm, they shall wash {igp/is*] with it they die not: or when they come

• to Qle'sdt^1£'inimster,'to bum cmerings inade by fire onto the Lord; so shall they wash

their hands and ^e i r feet that thev die not,' " &c. Ex. 30: 17-21.

In the origmal the laver is termed loviera, firom lotto, to bathe, .and the act of "washing" is expressed by the verb nipto—(nipUsthai, nipsetai, and nipsontai,) and not by haptizo or bapto.

" A third sort was the purifying of various mideannesses, (Lev. 15,) clones stained with blood in offering sacrifices, and utensils which were scoured and rinsed in water. 'And when ihere is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash {bccptixe that .whereon it was sprinkled in the holy place.'" Lev.^: 27.

Here again, it is not haptho in the origin^, but^tuio {plutkestai.)

Mr. McCjiine may have been imposed upon by some designing man, and may have yielded to the temptation to affect an acqu^tance with ihat of which he was utterly ignorant. If, however, his knowled^ of Greek extended even so far as to the slightest acquaintance with the alphabet, Jiis case calls not for a ref-utation from his opponents, but for the discip-line of his "church.'^ Alas! for the people who look up to him implicitly and exclusively far tJie dispensation of truth!

—they are sent to me just ready for distribu-tion. Of these copies there were 300 entire Testaments in Chinese. Some of which in' best paper and si'k bidding bost 13 cents each; others in a cheaper paper, yei good and bound in silk as the others, cost only 10 cents each volume! ' W h o would not give ten cents that some Chinese family or indi\-idual might have an entire copy of the New Testament?

Another box is ordered which I look for in a few days. A copy of Brother Godoard's version, best paper, bound in best style is now on its way in the ship—••Mandarin" for your Board's Library—care of I. T. Smith, Esq.. 101 Wall street New York. Please send for it. This is a beautifid copy. I know of none more so. and its fame among the missionaries placcs it in the foremost rank as to ezccUence and so far as I have examined it I am well pleased with it, and can mose heartily distri bute it with both hands—while each of the oth-er ver4ons have material draw back, that were r t b d i ^ b u t e them'at all it would only be with partial assent-rrthis not so—but with sincere and full assent!

I am now distiibuiug daily, and am much gratified at the privilege. I t is needful h,ere Sways to distribute—^persons are constantly coming and going, who perhapn never before received a single leaf of the word of life! But I feel still more anxious to be at Nanking, where fewer copies of the scripture, have been distributed and the promise of results is great-er.

Here 1 ought to make one remark? When it is perceivcd that Tae peng Wang himself is printing and tlistributing the Holy Scriptures without note or comment, it may be thougtbt unnecessary for us to make much effort on the subject. Not so! If he supplies the means of distribution, he will dictate, as cA-ery Bible Society does, what shall and what shall he not be circulatcd; and soon, may we not fear, he will extend his dictation too far, unless we make an early effort to break that spell!— And though the version he is now circulating —Dr. Gutslaff's may be esteemed second best,

• as ha\-ing the right term for baptism, yet yOTir Bible Board must supply the means for the circulation of Brother Goddards's version, then whether it shall be adopted by Tae ping Wang or not, we Avill try to avoid the appear-ance of evil in allowing him, if he would, to dictate what shall and what shall not be circu-lated. I will endeavor to get him to adopt Goddard's vei^on as I know the one he ap-proves will enjoy-a high vantage ground.— Yet if he declines doing so, I do not Tyi«h. that to prevent its circulation for want of tEe means! Nor do I suppose our denomination generally wouM; then brethren, I am happy to see you coming up to the help of the Lord with so much leal and energy in this particu-lar. Letit not discour-ge you, ihat we have not rercbed Nanking so soon as you expected This has only given us a little time to rest upon our oars, and renew our strength for a,niorr vigOToua ontset when w e ^ t there. I am now daHy learning-the Nxiikipg; maudlin dialect of aNankmg man,, and hope to be beUer prepar-ed for usefolness -when I get there, than if I had reached ^ e r e last August,,whin I aimed to The Loid, who. spea the end lyprn'the beginning and has promised to guide ?»s by hi» eje, i»w it be4t for me not to get there, so soon tt-^i^willbe'dionel..,... ^ - is ta&c-i k, '

to our other expenses: -Less than 8100 per m ^ t h , will not I presume cover our expensed, and'we are enthely dependent for that on the free and voluntary contributions of our breth ren. Our mission property in Canton has only been an expense to us since -we left it. I hope the brethren of my own native State—Tennes see—will feel it a privilege to lead m sending supplies. I am gratified to see the "Teimes-see Baptist" speaking out in good earnest on this subject. This wilj^ tnist supersede th necessity of our appealing to the sympathie^i of our brethren and begging for ourselves.— We have concluded this year, to trust in the Lc rd and do good, hoping that we shall dwell in the land and verily be fed from the bonnti ful and voluntary liberality of our brethren; or in any way that he may aporo/e—"for our heavenly father know^th that we have need of all-these things"—Mathew, 6: 32.

Brother Goddard is now having a ^et of blocks cut for his version of the New Testament which he says I can have to take with me to Nan-king; hence with the blessing of the Lord, I shall be able at once to enter upon my dutie:> when I get there.

I also requested him, the other day when here, to prepare a denominational catechism 'or distribution, at Nanking, and else where. Such we must have to maintain our vantage ground as Baptists. And I hope my Baptist brethren will supply me with the means to circulate it.

Brethren Goddard and McGowan of Ningpo are very kind, and doing w^hat they can to promote our usefulness at Nanking. Our health is very good—thank the Lord. Breth-ren pray for us. I hope my next quarterly rtport will be from Nanking. May the good Lord direct our steps..

Yours in Christian Love. I. J . ROBERTS.

P. S. Shanghai is still held by tlie Local in surgents as it has been since the 7th of Septem ber last. With whom, the imperrialists have a fight every few days, but to little purpose, except to'get som-; of themselves killed. We have just heard of fighting at Chin Kiang foo; and some of the blockading war vessds, have come away. But we have heard nothing def initely from the Northan army lately, but sup-pose they are waiting the bieakinj» up of the winter, and then will proceed to the taking oi' Peking, dethroning the Emperor, establish-ing a new dynasty, the casting down of idols, and the promulgation of the christirn religion —all this in this very year, we look for, hope for and pray for! " '^ile Go 1 is manifesting his mighty power in preparing the nations for hb Gospel, will not his Church in Christendom exercise her high prerogative in promulgating it among them? T- J- R-

RepnbUcs of the Midi Spain—aiid the Prinoesof Provence, or Sonth-eiia France—all these at times, and even for long periods, gave protection to the peraeiStat-ed Baptists; who were known alike by their orginal name of Cathari, t h e f u b i ; and by the subsequent names of Paulicians, Paterines, and Poor Men of Lyons, down to the begin-ning of the twelfth century—as appears from the successive edicts issued against them.* At this point of time they were joined by some illustrious reformers from the Church of Rome, such as PsTata ba Bep is , ( a . d . 1104 to 1124,) H e n b t and J usk f h , his disciples, ( a . d. 1116 to 1148,) andAsBOLD o f Bbksc ia , ( a . d 1136 to A. n. 1166,) with whom the present volume begins its "Memorials of Baptist Martyrs."

From the rapid review we have now taken of the history of the Baptist Martyrs from the beginning, we gather some interesting conclu-sions:

1. That the Baptists have no difficulty what-ever in tracing up their principles and their churches to the Apostolic age. It has been often said by our enemies, that we originated in the German city of Munster, in 16.34. La-mentable must be the weakness or ignorance of such an assertion, come from whom it may. It were easy to cite eminent Pedobaptist his-torians, to refute this calumny—especially Limborch and Mosheim, of the last century. But we preftr to quote two historians of the present century, selected by the King of Hol-land to draw up a history of the "Origin of the Dutch Baptists," for the use of the gov emment. Dr. Ypeig, professor of theology at the University of Groningen, and Dr. J. J. Dermont, chaplain to the king—both of tbe Dutch Reformed Church—in the authentic vol-ume thus prepared, and published a t Breda, m 1819, come to-the folkwing deliberate con-clusions:

"The Mennonites are descended from the tolerably pure evangelical Waldenses, who were driven by persecution into various coun-tries; and who, during the latter part of the twelfth century, fled into Flanders, and mto the provinces of Holland and Zealand, where they lived simple and exemplary lives—in the vil-lages as farmers, in the towns by trades—free from the charge qf any gross immoralities, and professing the most pure and simple prin-ciples, which they exemplified in a holy con versation. They were therefore in existence long b^oreike Reforined Church of the Netherlands." Again: "We have now seen that the Baptists, who were formerly called Anabaptists, and in later tunes Mennonites, were the original Wal-denses; and who have long in the history of the Church, received the honor of that origin.

Let it be remembered that the learned men who say this, and say it aloud in the ear of majesty, after diligent investigation, are not themselves Baptists. It is a confepion of t ^ rat^t ^and^.^^-ltTheir rockis pot ^ our rock.

4. We see another &ct, which givt a pecu-liar and glorious feature to our denomination. Much as the Baptists have suffered from others, they have never retalliated—never, when in pow er, pleaded for the principle of persecution, or pi l^t in practice; but have stood forth, among persecuting sects, solita^ and alone, as the fearless champions and examples of liberty o< c<msdence. This they have done, too, on set-tied Scriptural principles, pecuHar to their views of baptism; and hence have pleaded for liberty of conscience to the fullest extent.— Witness the periods of jlheir power in Italy— in Armenia, Syria and Asia Minor—in South em France—in the Mediaeval Roman Repub-lic—in Poland in ihe sLzxenth century—in England, Ireland, and especially Rhode Island in the se\-entcenth — in the United States at tht formation of the American Constitution; anu since then in the new Constitutions of th. States—in many of which States they were a clear majority of the population. No sect whose origin dates back two centuries, can share with them this glory. The Queers, the Moravians, and the Methodists, a re^f more recent origin. The principle of relijB.jus lib erty—a distinguishing principle of th in all ages—we are however happy now universally a d o p ^ by other c tions in the United States—and is fa' ing over the world.

6. The Baptists—though for the aost part of the poor of this world, rich in iJ»!lh only, and unknown to fame, as were tbe primitive Christians—have yet, in almost all ages, had of their number men of the most eminent learning and ability, who died as martyrs to the faith. From the time of Novatian, indeed, it has been customary with their adversaries to call the whole body by the name of its most distinguished leader—as if they were OTly a new sect, of which he was the originator. Thus the Cathari were called Novatians—then Pau-licians—then Petrobrusians, Henricians, Jose-phists—then Amoldists—Waldenses—LollMds —Mennonites; nor were they ever permitted to bear their present name of B ap t i s t s , until after their legal toleration, in England, in 1688. Yet to them, as we have seen, belong all the inspired writers of the New Testament—the sources of our Christian literature—Matthew^ Mark, Luke, John, James, Jude, Peter and Paul himself, the accomplished pupil of Gam-aliel. To them belong all the Christian writ ers of the second century, including Justin Martyr, Irena;us, Clement of Alexandria, Ter-tullian, and in tbe next age, Hippolytus, and even Origen himsclE. And from the time of the Pure Secessioli, in a. d. 261, they can pro duce names among the noblest. Novatian himself had no superior in his own time—at his remaining writings show. But most of their writings have perished. The same per secutions that robbed them of their churches, liberty, and lives, suppressed their schools, and their books—leaving them only that one Bool from which they would never part—Uie foun diiion of their pi^ciple^ fije guide of their practice, and the support of bope, amtd th^ terross of> mM^tdom— ( ^ t a r i ^ ^ byf t l ^ s ^ wift tgjsTw

"It occurs six times in the New Testament, in all of which a lite-ral pearingisal nays meant.

Here is a simple fact stated^ wttch any one

can give by referring to his Concordance, and

Brother Waller himself could not sUte it in

different words. Nine out of ten who had

never seen Mr. Brj'ant's work would state the

above fact in the same wordii.

'•The word^aroa«a, '•It.[poroJMja] oc-. translated comingroc-- curs twenty-four times curs ia the New Tes-tament twenty-four times, and in every in-stance refers to the ac-tual coming of the ob-ject in (jMstion. For the sake of brevity we refer our readers to their Testaments."

in the New Testament and in every instance refers to the actual appearing or coming of the object referred to. To avoid tedions-ness, the passages will be omitted, and a ref-erence only made to them in a note."

This is an instance similar to the last, a mere relation of a fact.

'sBggeat to Bro, W.

th^ the denomination expects him to disprove

the doctrine from the iSoiiptures and to Aow

that it is dangerous, before he launches sach

maledictions at the heads—tbe character of its

most pioos and most useful ministertj. The

unspotted character and hallowed influence of

a well known, long tried and devoted minister

like Brother C. K. Hendricksou, is justly too

dear to the demonination to be either injured

or sullied by such an attack as this. Even

were he actually blame-worthy, be certainly is

not deserving of euch unwarrantable language

from the pen of a brg'-ber editor.

We know that th^re is an unaccountable

prejudice and even hostility on the part of

thousands to the doctrine of the advent of

Christ at tbe commencement of tbe millenni-

um. With the advocates of the doctrine tbe

Western Recorder has no patience, and seems

determined to show no mercy, whoever and

whatever the standing of the brother may be.

Brother Bray late of Shelbyville, a most ex-

cellent brother, we suppose is meant by tbe

phrase "braying lions."

Has it come to this, thac brethren good brethren, men of undoubted piety and scholar-ship, are to be shamefully gullotined in this sort of style, because forsooth they presume to

a view of the millennium different from Brother Waller?! Is the Vatiwm and Inquisi-tion at last established in Louisville, and the Recorder been converted into a veritable gul-fotine?

If >t ii indeed so awful a heresy to believe that the Siviour's second advent will precede or introduce the Millennium, will the Senior or Junior Editor of tbe Recorder, or any other brother, living anywhere, point us to the scrip-ture teaching that bis advent is at the close of the thousand years? But let not Brother W. do like the Priests of Rome bring fire before the facts of Scripture.

P. S. Touching the case of "that brother in

Nashville," alluded to some weeks since, we

would not be understood as claiming that Bro.

Waller intentionally misrepresented his views,

but that the brother's views were misrepre-

sentd for that brother protests that he never

heard or conceived of such views until he read

them in the charge.

are disinclined to engage in the exercii^ of

public worship I do not understand, i t is a

mystery which defies all comprehen»ion: for

the disbclmation involves disloyalty to the ob-

ject of their worship. How can they love God

if they feel no interest in hia public worship?

or are unwilling to be recognized as his public

worshippers? With the Bible before me I am

not authorized to consider them real christians.

I fear theirs is a noliinal religion. Those for

whom the earthly sanctuary has no attractions

are unfitted for the services of the heavenly

temple.

To the people of God his house has ever been a delightful place. David says, " I have loved the habitation of thy house and the place where thine honor dwelleth." " I was glad when they said unto me let us go into the house of the Lord." "How'amiable are thy taberna-cles, 0 Lord of hostfc! My soul longetb, yea, even fainteth, for the courta of the Lord: my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. For a day in thy courU is better than a thou-sand. I would rather be a door-keeper in tbe house of God than to dwell in the tenU of wickedoess." This is the language of the pious heart. To the devout christian attend-ance on the services of the sanctuary can nev-er be a matter of indifFerence. The house of God cannot be divested of sweet and powerful attractions.

How to make attendance on public worship profitable is a subject well worthy of conside-ration. 1 oflfer the following suggestions:

1. Preparation for the sanctuary should be

made by the cultivation of a devotional spirit at

This is a cominent upon the passage, and is indeed similar to, but not verbatim, the one made by Mr. Bryant, and is also similar to the comments of all premillennial commen-tators.

All our readers may not be aware that a

part of the English version, with notes, is now

through tbe press, and ready for circulation.

This includes the second revision of 2 Peter,

the Epistles of John and Judas, and the first

revision of Revelations. It is in quarto form,

making, with the introduction, more than two

hundred and sixty pages. The book can be

obtained at tlie Recorder Office, Louisville,

Kentucky, or at the American Bible Union

Rooms, New York. Price, in handsome cloth.

75 cents. Postage 40 cents.*

This book is sent out to the world, that both friends and foes may e.\amine and criticise it and point out all the faults and imperfections which can be detected before it is finally re-vised and adopted by the Society.

put to the press in about a fortnight. It is ad-

mirably done. The Epistles, Hebrews, Tim-

bably go to press in less tlian two months.—

They only require the last totich.

Bev. W. H. Wyckoff, Corrisaptmding Secre-

t e of the BiblcUnion, in a prirate letter to jifi

The advanUjjes accVuing from public wor-

ship depend much more ou, the state of the

heart than many sup^se. The heart must be

right with God. If'not, it may be said in

truth, "This people draw near to me with their

mouth and honor me with their lips, but their

heart is far from me." When the spirit of

prayer is enjoyed at home—when the Bible is

devoutly read—when its truths are made the

theme of earnest meditation—then thfi servi-

ces of the sanctuary will be profitable. The

children of God should never go to hia house

without praying fervently that they may enjoy

spiritual interviews with him, and so wait upon

him as to renew their strength. O, how much

unprofitable resort there is to the place of wor-

ship because no preparation is made for it!—

The failure to receive benefit results much more

frequently from this want of personal prepara-

tion than from any weakness or imperfection

in the exhibitions of the pulpit. Seldom is a

sermon preached so objectionable in manner,

and so defective in maUer, as to preclude spir-

itual advantage if indeed the hearers are in a

devout frame of mind.

2. The word preached should be heard with

sdcrnn attention as the tmrd of Ood

"Take heed," said Jesus Christ, "how ye

bear." ITiis surely intimates the possibility

of hearing the word of God in an improper

manner. And it is heard improperly unless it

is listened to with solemn attention as the word

of God. Paul says to the Thessalonians, "For

this causa also thank wo God without ceasmg,

because, when ye received the word of God

which ye beard of us, ye received it not as the

word of men, but as it Is in truth the word of

God, which effectually worketh also in yon that

believe." Tbe hearer who would be profitet

by preachm^ must feel that, eo far aa God's

mhiistcia declare his truth, God himself speaks.

, lUsuap^ .

1. I have madfrvattSe'above from the min-

ntea of 1891, '62, and 'S3, and from personal

recollections of money paid and also receipts

given to W. Balnea, as Treasurer. For in-

stance, in the minutes of 1851, the amount aet

down in the minutes is only l!377 85, when

my salary was l!400, and traveling expenses—

which would bring it up at least to $430 00,

making a difference of what was actually paid

me and the amount printed in the minutes of

$52 15.

2. For the amount paid to the iiouthem

Baptist Biennial Convention, Texas has receiv-

ed from the Board of that body within the last

eight years, from six to eight thousand dollars,

to aid Missionaries in destitute porUons of the

State; and are we to make no returns of grati-

tude for favors so great?

3 The minutes of 1852 are exceedingly in-

correct in every sense and shape, both in au-

thography and figures, etc. This is owing to

three causes: 1. The Publishing Committee

from sickness and other causes were not able

to superintend tbe printing of them. 2. Tbe

publisher did not examine the proof sheet as

be should have done; neither did be compare

it with the manuscript. And 3. The Conven-

tion being held that year in Marshall, and the

Treasurer not being present with bis book and

receipts, his report is not given as it should

have been. For instance, see p. 9, "Credit."

"By amounte paid by order of tbe Board,

$566 52." without the different items being

specified. Again, on p. 17, it is printed "to

Cherokee Association $100 00" appropriated,

when it ought to have been only 950 00, as

the Treasurer's report will show, for 1853. (see

p. 22;) fifty dollars tbe amount appropriated,

for tbe writer drew n^ the resoluiion making

the donation-

See also p. 14, where it is slated that my

traveling expenses were 8400 a year.

4. It has been the custom of the Convention

from ite organization up to the present ^me to

divide tbe collections taken on Sabbaih at each

session of the body between the Missionary

cause in Texas and the Education of our young

ministers at the Baylor University; and I would

also mention that a portion of the Life-mem-

berships that I raised was made with the un-

derstanding that half of the amount ($25 00)

was to go for tbe education of young minis->

ters. Now, if we add these several sums to-

gether, (for which the receipts of Bro. A. G.

Haynes, Treasurer of the Education Society

will show,) we shall have the $1,815 70 to a*

fraction, of which the Convention has been

charged of "smuggling."

Bro. Graves, the above has been an exceed-ing painful thing to my poor heart, as well as to nineteen twentieths of the Bripiists in Texas. All the chai-ges which have been brought a-gainst tbe State Convention are utterly ground-less and false, when compared with the facts in connexion wi;h a fair and candid explana-tion.

wandering Trib^ they may do so, indirectly,

by incouragiDg and aiding the Govemmant to

cdonize them as fiut as possible, so as to bring

them within the reach of Benevoltncp and

Christianity. In the meantime, "however,

cbrisUaiu need not be idle, because the ninety-

fite or hundred thousand-uow occupying the

Indian Te^ry , are ia as favorable a position

to be operat«d upon (except so far as the pro-

tection of Government is needed to W^p out

evil men &c.,) as could be asked for; d in

their behalf I w h to interest, especia^, the

South and South-west.

Brethren and Friends, I appeal to ycHis to

those who have, by renewing grace, i i^bed

the spirit of Christ. Look, I beseech y*^, up

on the poor red-man of the forest, and c ntem-

plate him in his present abandoned, iuwn-

trodden and suffering condition. Robbed of

his country—his only inheritance, by a chris-

tian people, and left to perish, in their midst,

utterly cut off from the means of animal sub

sistance, and destitute of the knowledge of sal-

vation. Say not that he has been a cruel

and bloody foe! or if you do, ask who made

him such? {(ad conscience will respond— White

men tuith thlf Bible in their haMs! A n d could

you expect less of any people, much less be-

nighted heathen, than an effort to expel those

(by their usual means,) who sought to rob

them of their homes. If men profiessing Chris-

tianity allowed themselves to clwm tM lands

of the Indians, bAn their towns, destrojMheir

crops and slay tbem of all ages and sexes with-

out pity; what could be expected of tho.^poor

benighted Heathen? But in any view of the

case, who should we expect w oidd re

nurture malice in his bres^ the.triu

christian white man; or the defeated, dotra-

trodden and perishing heathen? surely not the

Christian. ;

Now whaC is the fact? Thousands of these

poor heathen have been driven from their

homes and the graves of their sires; and from

distant and different portions of the couuir\

have been compelled to locale in a 1 eritor-

assigned them. And now forgetting ifce in

suits, the wrongs and miseries which have

been heaped, upon tbem, turn to those who

have wrongt^ them, and in the most humble

attitude and^idous language appeal to them

for mercy. They plead to this effect ^ ye

christian white men, as yon have take^our

lands, expelled the game from the countrjsnd

shut us up in these narrow bounds, without

or raiment or any knowledge how the^re

children, look on our squalid and amacbted

woman, and behold our own withered frames

and unstrung and useless bows.!- O do not

leave us thus to perish! C-ome teach us how

After a while

unchristian charges that has ever been brought against any Missionary body since the days of a beloved and Fuller, either in Europe or America, by friend or foe. Not even Ae renowned and celebrated Joshua Lawrence, of Kebuekee notoriety, in his palmiest days, ever made such a direct chaige agabst the Mission-aries.

The question has been asked time and again, recently, by our brethren in the East, "What are we to do?" All that I have to say is this: the whole matter is reduced ro one point. Is the Baptist State Convention of Texas guilty or not, of '.'Smuggling $1,800 00,(whichim-i ^ a d u h o i ^ y , ) M well as , ^ over charges made agamst her? If guilty, she ia then un-wOTthyof the confidence of the denomination, not only in Te*as, but throughout the christian world; and as such should be abandoined by all honest men.

But if, upon an impartitd investigation, she is found not to be guilty of the chaigea made

against her. then I ^ ^ e indlyidnal who made them witbdrav Ae charge h^ p ro f o ^ , and fe^g and a gen i u s confidence bis again i ^ r ^ bftweea brethren m the differ-ent pwrt iowrf .AeS^ "
