the old diapenaatiaa lifted the vail fRMn Uie lace of the future a a l y ao as to give m o i a glimpse of ioKB in faia bamiliAlioa; t he prophecy of the new diiip^cdatiim s h a d o w lor th bis t r iumph . Above Uw dark dood which covered Uie fu ture for those men of old, was lifted to their gaze tlio c r o * ; befiiie 09, above the darkness, glrauns the crown. But we axe o£!« tijld what shall belall the world, what dLiCoverifd ahall be inad^^, what enipirea «h.ii rise or fall ere the end come acd Jesus bo crowned Lord of aU. If yoa wish to know how wars ahaU end, whatahjUl t a the fiite of naUunj, hriw long divers heresiei shall endure, or anU-christ rtnaigthen himself against God, or what y e a a are left to the warld ere it shall be wrapped in its a e r r winding a h e t t ; if theae are the thinica you wish to know, yon will gain nothing by s tudying the prophecies of Lfuiah and ZephanLih, nar by meditat ing upon the visiona o f the ApocnlyiHei. But search the Beriptures as Christ commanded, that they m a y ie»Ufy of h im, and they btxome lull of inatmction and bleading.

The Scriptures show ns Jeans aa Judge, aented upon his throne, rendering to every man accord-ing to the deeds done in the body, whether they b e g u o d a r e v i L Jsaos as J u d g e ; that ia a testi-mony aordy needed in this day , when, as never before, i t may be said of men, " God ia not in all thair thoughts ." Ba t as to when and where the battle of Armageddon shall be fought we need have no thought, for t he t ime and place thereof do not o inai rn ua. Jesus as J u d g e ! aa we see the wicked in great power, and t v i l daviees ensnaring th« rJijhteoug, we look earnestly fur the test imony of prophecy to tcU oa that this world ia not all and that it shall be eternally ill wi th the wicked and well with the righteoua. Prophecy shows oa a b o Jeaus a.« King , wi th all his enemies, powerful as they seem to ua ncjw, put ander hia feut. I t shows u. the church, porifled from tha world.inesa which setma to overwhelm her to-day, clothed in the white robes of hia righteonsneaa—a bride adorned fur her Bridegroom. Thus does the prophecy, d u m b before all curious spc culationa and idle iniiuiriea lunching the t imes and the acasona, apejik plainly to ooi aouLi the great lemons of the l a to ra—hld tory , law and prophecy, these three b t v l n g testimooy to J t sns , t>car2ng testimony to no other. Tak ing prophecy in ita widest sense to include all authori tat ive religioua teaching, it ia true " t h e test imony of Jeans la tha spirit of p roph tcy . "

I Iow different in ita intense personality ia thia Christiunily from ail other religions the world had known. Wo do not find here a system ol philosophy, of morali ty, or even of theology; in-stead of these things we ace Jesua. Buddha and Cunfuciua give us max ims by the score, beautibtl aystmns of morality, including much that is given ua in tha Bible. The law gives forth ita ' ^ m m a n d s with the pnimiae—alas, so vain to fallen man ! — " the man liiat dueth thwie things shall l ive by t h e m ; " but tho direcUon of J w n s is siuiply, •• KuUuw tnou m e . " T o the flaherman on the sea this commandment Oimea; to the rich young tnler whom Jasas loved : to tha disciple Inquir ing about the d u t y of his feilow-dlwnple. There Is not one rule Ibr the learned and m o t h e r for tlia Ignorant ; one system for people and another for pr i ia ts ; no binding uf burdens on some shoulders and loosing them from o the i s ; bat to each and all, high and low, pwir tiaherman and proud rular, p j strangi'r upon tha sea and to disciple appointed to feed the ahccp—to all comes that one command which takes the place of al l moral i ty, or , rather, which Ineludta aU motaUty, " Follow m e . "

We coma lo the BUile asking for a system. Men offer us dal iomle ayatems, tadi ua what to believe concerning a thousand things, and offer us hirge volumai aUwl wi th articles of (aitlu But instead of a c r m i we are told the story of Jesus, instead of a aystem we are bidden to look upon a life, and ustead of all the minnte directions ol tho law w e

• r e t<jld, Ye believe in God, believe also In m e . " •tUl confront! us this Personality — t h b man CLriat Joaus; well may his fo l lowan bo callcd

' 'BhrLitians," for to them h e ia all in all . W e ' aama aa i ing fur l i fe ; asking to nndera tacd ita

n y i t c r y iind its meaning—tiQGstiona t h e Sph inx

has asked, and va in ly asked , the rolling centoriea. A n d for answer we are told, " I am the L i f e " — atiU tha t d iv ine " I , " in all its wonderful power, fulfilling every rcqnia.tion and answering every query . H e is ' the Life, and ye t tha t life goes out in death . L i f e and immorta l i ty being silent and breathless upon t h e cross, be ia the Life, and yet hia very parables show forth his death . T h e bridegroom shall be taken from the children of the bridechamber, and the w^icked huabandmen who had sL-Un the servants killed also the son. I t was expedient even for his disciples tha t hesihould go away, and ere he departed he erected a monn-m e n t — a memorial of bis broken body and abed blood, into wiiich he thrust hia personality, aay-ing, " This do in remembrance of m e . "

" I f a man die shall he live a g a i n ? " ia the greatest qurst ion addressed to a n y religion, save thai qaeit ion, " H o w should m a n be just wi th G o d ? " Dim and uncertain have been the an-swers concerning immorta l i ty and the resurrec-t ion; vaguely have reformers endeavored to r e a ^ n immorta l i ty from the l ight of na ture and the firm refusal of the soul to acccpt the thought of annihi lat ion. But Jesus gives us little reason-ing on the subj«ct, druw^a no analogies, leaves to the apostle even the illuatrating of the doctrine, while he shows himscU having risen from the dead and adds , for our che^r, " Because 1 live yo shall l ive also." A n d ths t greater question, " H o w should men be just with God ? "— question answered by the scourge and sack cloth of the ascitic, by long pilgrimages to distant ahrinea, by l u t i n g s , by self-inflicted tortures, by sacrifices up<jn a thousand altars, by long dk^uis i t ions on t ru th and par i ty by such men as fcrocrates and Plato, ia answered in one voice by all Scripture, through fai th in Christ. No explanation is made ot the process, only the means given — through faith in Jesus shall men be saved from guilt and enabled lo cry with the exultant ai>OEtle, " I t is G j d that juatifietn. Who ia he that c jndemne th ? I t ia Christ that d i t d . "

T h e motives to which J tsua appeals ever have reference to himself. W e are to be moral, Seneca tella ua, for many reaaoM, and valid ones they are, which ahouIU Influence all human beings. And other wise teachers enforce their morality — a moral i ty often very mucli liko of l levelation — by reasonings d rawn from worldly considerations. T h e evila of Immora l i ty —as, for example, the h a r m that would reault if all men were dishonest and no law punished th ieves—are set forth dea r ly l>efore man ' s eyes, are reasoned out wi th proofs no man can gainsay. Experience, reason and consdence all bear testimony to the destruction of sode ty and the overthrow of civilization which would follow the a b r ( ^ t i o n of the Decalogue, so that men should be aa free as are the brutes from all moral restraints. And yet, prove th^m never so di-arly, philosophers hav^e found it impos-tible to inUuenca the mass ot mank ind by all the mt>-tivea to wblch they could api>eal, i i iduding self-intcrtst , aaid by some lo be Uie strongest ol all. But men have never been made honest by having pointed out to them the evil elTccU of dishonesty on character and on society.

Jcaua laya few such motives before m m . These things they can learn for theniselvea as experience brings her light to bear upon their understandings. Tha motives to which he appeals are personal—

If ye love me, keep m y commandments ; " " y-' ara m y frienda if ye do wtiabwever I command y o u . " By our rclatlona to him, by all he hua done for u^, by all that he is In his exceeding lovelin««, by all the affections which cluster arcund h im as Creator. Preserver, King , Judga, Savior, and Fr iend ; by all these things he appcaU to ua. H e is In these motivra for obcdience, as in history, law, prophecy, " a l l in a l l . " Ei ther this man Christ Jesus is God, or su.-h egotwm the world never saw. Man's wncei t has carried h im to great lengtha—never ao far aa thia. Of all those who have sought to teach men religion, August Q i m t e waa, perhape, the moat conceited, the greatest self-worshipper, carrying hia egotism to such an extent tha t our disgust la tempered with pity, for we conduda the man must have been Insane. Yet even C<jmte never claimed to be the l ight of t he

world, nor bade his foUowers, and those who in fu ture should accept h i s PosiOviam, be moral because they loved k im, or just becauae it was well pleaaing in hia e i g h t But the calm voice of Jesoa ever puts h i m s ^ before u i aa a motive, as the beginning and the end of all purpose and all emotion. A n d we feel that he ia mot ive and end so£Qdent; that he claims no more than bj his due, and looking upon h i m aa he shines forth in the Scriptures, we cry wi th Thomas of old, " My Lord and m y God . "

Jesus also aeta h im^I f before us as the great glary of heaven. Incidentally and bricfiy we are told that heaven is p a i n l e s and blissful, bat it was not intended that we should dwell much upon the thought of our happiness there. W hen the shadow of the croaa fell on the disciples and darkened their lives, Jesua said to them, " I go to prepare a place for y o u , " that you may be h a p p y ; nay, " that where I am there you may Ihj als<j." And Paul 's great desire for tho future life was " to l>c with Chris t"— to be "presen t with the l^ i rd ." Verily tho chonis wnich rises alike from earth and heaven is only " J e s u a , Jeaua, Jesus ." Before us are placed Uie great facta of hia life; abstract reasoning concarning them we have little. Scattered and f ragmentary seem the Scriptures as we glance at them caielessly, but aa we look dosely with the eye ol fai th, there rises before ua one colossal figure; and every line is s«>n to l)e drawn, that the picture may be more distinct biifore our eyes. Heaven, earth and hell are but the light anifUark background which ehow^ their brightneas aud their shadow upon that figure.

Appeal to men to leave off their evil prac-ticea l)y all the motives you can draw from the disastrous conscfjuences of sin, and you move them but slightly or tail alto-,;ether. All thought of injury to themaelves, their pro()erty or their reputation, all human ties of kindred and atrv-etion, go down before the power of pa-saion. But ont-e turn the guilty, sin-bleared eyes to JL-SUS, and love for him, sprintfing up in the heart, shall be all-f>owerful. .So strong is Chrisi 's personality to-day th;»t after eighteen ccatur iw since his resurrection, a m o n s men of every land and tongue, love for him is the strongest feeling you i an rouse in any heart . I t ran restrain men froui evil whi-n all I't-e fall-, and can reach theui when all eUe is lust. To realize the wonderful power of the name of Christ, it is nccessary to look at the dregs of human swie ty — the outcasti whose whole lives, from the cradle to the grave, are but una aeries of crimaa and view. You cannot touch them by appealinc to their innocent childhood ; they have had no Innocent childhood ; they have lied, and bhisphemed and stolen since their earliest recollection . No human ties draw them to virtue, for all who should be dear to them are as lost aa they. They have no pride, no ambit ion, no love of virtue, and no fear of eon«e<juences Sunk below all human help, the name of Jesus alone reaches t h e m ; la-t to all other uiutivej , hi-i lovo can move them, and lueii have been brtjught from tho loweji drt",{a of b u m a m t y to useful, godly lives by the simple story ot that life in Judes and Uiilllee and that death ui>on the crnas. Ah, biethren, Ood knew the creatures he had made when he gave them thia intena«>ly |)crsonal religion, all filled with Jesas, and Je^as must indet^l Ixj d iv ine that the story of his life and death should so move human hearts to-day.

Noble men have given their lives in all agra ol the world for grciit principles, for justice, and for love of country. Men h.ive even laiil down their lives for their friends. We give 9U;-h mea our admirat ion reveren*^ as wo read their story, but we do not take them into our hearts, nor m3l;i« them a factor In our daily lives, as wo do with Jpsus.

L^!t as hce<l this Icason from Scripture—" the teaUmony of Jesus la the spirit of prophecy "— taking prophecy In Its wiaest ^'us*-, including history, law, moral i ty, theologj-. and redemption. T h e story of Jesas La th<» great weapoif In our hands ; to rouae love for hiiu In men's hearts Is the great du ty that liw Iwfore us. So only can the world De lifle»l to a higher and purer existence. Phi lanthropic sciiemca for raising whole nations

to honor and Integrity by some univerBal plan have ever failed, will ever fail, must ever fail. Jffius must stand by each individual aoul, and , laying bis hand ui*>n it, say, " 1 wUl, be thou d e a n . "

(Juntown, MiA"., which had been made for C8 by Eld. J . J . Andrews, who never fails to get all the |>eracbing out ol liis brethren in hid power. He met u-i at tlie town, and took as to his hospita-ble home, where we rested until morning. At I I o'clock the largt- church house was, to our sup-prise, well filled, although it was a most busy day with farmers. The attention was profound for more than an hour, and, from wtiat we afterwards learned, wa. well received, and set the whole town to thinking at least.

The thousand years being ended, the great t>atUe of Armagedon is fought.

TLe dead —that is the wicked , wore judged and cast In to the lake of firo. Ttie earth and heavens flee from the pns«nce of h i m that s i t teth upon the throne. Afier this John sees the holy c i ty—the New Jeru salcm, comin:; do .vn fr im God out of heaven, and Gud himself dwells w i t h bis people, and w i l l be their G<jd; he shall wijie away a l l tears from th«ir eyes, an I they shall reign w i t h h i m forever and ever .

XEW TE3TIMOFV ON BAPTISM.

Iy th® " Commentary on on St. Lake , " by Prof.

Uodet, to which Dr. John Hall cootzibutes • pre<ju» and notes, there ia the foUowing paw-n g e : —

" Tb« rite of baptiam, which consUIed in the Dlaneincof the body more or len completely inb} wativ, was not at this period in use amoni? the Jews, neither fijr ti>e Jews themaelven, for whom Uw law only prcKribed lostratlon, nor for prose-

lytm from Paxaniam, to wbum, according tu the li»timuny of hintory, baptiiim wa<* not appiied until after the Call of Jenwalem. The vtry tiUe, Baptist, given to Juhn, lufficleatly pruvetf that it WM ha whu mtroduced thin rib?. Thia follnwa aLou from Juhn L -JS, where the depntafion from the Kanhedrim aolw him by what riuht he bap-tijs», if he b neither the M«niah nor one of the ptupheb. which impli(» tliat thin right was intn>-Uucwl by h im; and farther, from John ill. £f», wbi-re tne diaciplei of Juhn make it a charge •gi»initt Jtftu^. that he adopted a ceremony of which tlie inatitatlon, and ctJUStHiutuMy, acrurd-Ing tn tiiam, the monopoly, Iwlungi-d to th« ir Maater. liaptiam wan a hamiliating rite for the Jt*«!i. I t n^pnatented a compinte purifii3ttIou ; it waM, as it were, a liwtration ctrried to the a«ctin<i power, whi<;b implied in him who accepted it not a few iautated (ttulta so much an a radical defile-ment. So Jews call it (John iii. 5), a birth of wuter. AlrtMdy the promise of clean water, and of a lountain opened for sin and undcannent, In J':zMkl« l (xxxvi. Sr>) and B-chariah (xii. 1), had the name meaning. The complement me-lim'io*, of repentance, indii-atea the moral act which was Ui acctimpany the outwani tile, and which gave it ibi value. ThLt tsrm indiottes a ctmiplvte change of mind. The objixt of thLi new Institution iH mn, which apjiears to tho hat-tlMd in a new light. Aeconling tu Matthew and Murk, thin change WM expnwed by a puaitivc act which acnimpanlMi the baptism, the cunfMiun of their sins. Uaptlim, like every divlnfly institutal nmmony,"«mt.iine«l also a gnu-e for him who ob-servml li with thede^lruil ULipiMition. As puts i t : If, on the part of man, it was a dix;lani-tion uf the ranuni-iauun of sin, on the part of Uo<l It v/ttjt a di-clatixn «jf the p r d o n of sins.

OUR MISSISSIPPI L E T T E R . MEUJDIAK —ITH ClIANUES.

U R city has not been s tanding still. I t ha* been growing steadily, notwi ths tanding in-

terruptions In basiness and a recent conflagration. T h e burn ing of nearly an ent i re block of stores, Involving lowes to the amount of over a hundred thousand dollars, has not , seemlURly, checked our progress. New residences arc spr inging up in every quarter , and preparations arc already being made to rebuild tho burn t district . Cotton t** coming in more freely Utan some weeks back, and t rade is brisk again .

Changes h.tve been numtroa^ wi th in t he last twelve month-s and !«ome o! them are sad. Eld . C. M. Gordon accepted the pastoral care of the church In Okolona, and Prof . M. T . Mart in took charge of the college here. Now Bro. M. t h i n k s of leaving, to locate nearer your good city, per-haps. I n that evcn^ he will retire from the Record, l ik«ly, and devote himself more direct ly to the work of the gospel m i n b t r y .

In church mat ters we are, as A'ssociational letters often say, " at peace"— better for us spirit-ually were we in a Christian warfare. A pro-

1 tracted meeting was held at the First church last

month, Eld. J . W . BoEeraan, the pastor, being assisted by Eld. M. Y- Noffdnger, of Aberdeen. There were several accessions. Calvary church, of which Eld. J . C. Poster is |)astor, has been con-templating something of the kind ever since its organisation.

The Sunday-schools at both churches appear to be in a flourUhing condition. One meets in the morning, the other tn th« atternoon. In the latter nearly two hundred have be«n enrolled, thoufh only commanced about four months ago. Baptists ought to feel encouraged There it plenty of work to do for the Mutor , and the field U while unto the harvest.

Bro. Grea^ett is getting ready to re,umo the publieatitin of the HmtAcru liupCist. It will take him some time to make op his lilt. Material*, biMiks ami accounts, everything, waa coimimoti by the lire. The jiaper will como out in a new drp».s Though he and Bro. Martin arc on most fricmlly terms, an agreement to unite iheir tf to paixTS was seemingly impracticable, or not thougbt IM«1 just now.

Our Methooist friends are enlarplng their oil-lego. Meridian Is bccnming more and more Im portant as an wiucationai point, in well as a o itu-niercial center. The »arv«ys ot tho railroad to New Orlean.4 dlrtct are nearly computed; the Virkaburg, as well a* the Selma, road has been brought into one of the wealthy i-ombinations.

I had hoiKHl tti have seen something from one or the other of their jtens in response, but our mu-tual silence t h m far oe'y demonstrates tho ilncer-Ity of the declaration ma<le in oar concluding paragraph : " No vne of the Committee daslres to have any controvarsy on the subjact; nor iloea the Committee, as a wholt, doaire any such thing." But, as an appeal has l>een made to commentator*, by some of the wrltars, who claim that they fully susuln the negative. Lat us, then, go to these learned men for all the Information they can give us. In the last B A P T I S T (May 7th) Bro. Sanford calls our attention to Dr. Alexander's Notes on Acts XX. 7, prelkclng his quotation with tho re mark that Dr. John A. Broadus highly recom-mended the book as a Btan<»ard work. But his witness proved too much for him, for, while he admibi a social meal, yet he affirmed the Supper or eucharist was added, according to primitive usage;

Now what do we tind. In astonishment, our brother doing in the very next sentence f Invali-dating the testimony of his own writing. His languige is " until some evidence of this is fur-nished, I have a right to suppose that the L-jrd's supper was not ob3e5<>W." What l>ettcr evidence did he give you of the social meal, Bro. S. ? And yet you received that as satisfactory ; why not his last deilaratlon ? Was it not immeiliately after the eating of the passover that Christ instituted

the encharUt or Lord's suppar, which is spoken of as " breaking bread ? " (Sea AcU li. 42).

I f " standard works " arc to be received as con-firmatory evidence, let us examine others, tha t . In the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. In the Oomprahonsive c o m m e n t a r y " (Baptist edition ),commenUng upon the words of Acts xx . 7 : " I pan the first day o l the week, when iho aisci j lM cama together U) break b r t a d , " you find this declaration : " Break-ing braaJ here L» to bo understood of Lard's gup-

t • • In »hi« asaemoiy Paul gave them a sermon—a long farewell aermon."

This is the opinion of every wriior I have ex-aniiatxl on diaiegnnuii, proachlna or reasoning. If now y.ju ta rn bark to tho liiui cliapt. and eichib verse, and n a d from tlii.* *amc liij.list editiifu of " C>)iiiprehi nsi\-e Cr>tumcntary." p. j v u will flud tb(*t' words : " Thoy pa.'^ed by Mysia and came down to Truas ; here a church wa. planlfi l , fur hero r»u Und ouo in U i n g .
