Concerning tho Lord's groat froo dinnerii, re nark, flr^t, that tho rom«in»lor arior ilm loaHt wa« greater than the •lock wiiiin thn banquet began. They began with Ave loaves and Uvo (laboii, tliey began on another occasloa with wweii luaven and a few tlche>4; but tiicy left ofT with twelve baskets ftill in the one cue, and with soyen baBkets full in the other. Never wan thl« done at anv of your tables, I am sure, when your chlldreu havo gather-ed for their meals. They did all eat and were filled, and ytft there was moro left tliau when they began. TbU seemn impossible, and yet It is the ruio in tho klogom of grace. I hava olien found when I have come with a very small stock to feed /ou, brethren, that I hare goooaway with more than ( came with. Yoo have been refreshe.!, and I have been more ftall than when I handed out your portions to you.

Next learn that care is always Uken bv Ohrist of all the broken piece>. The Lord, all-sufflcient, Is jret the God of economy. Since Jo<u« could create ai much f w I a»eror be ploisj I. y ni might have thought that ft was hardly worth hln while to gather up tho fragments; and yet he did so. Waste Is of Sauo, not of God. If you are not a big fish, yet you may be a little fish, and you must not wa»t« yourself, nor must the church of God allow you lo be waa*ed, but use must be found for you somewhere. Let us bo severely econemical for the Lord our God.

NotiM a rather curious thl ig: there' was most left when there was least to Iwgiu with. When they commenced the dinner with seven loaves they gathered up $fven baskets full, but when thoy had only five loaves they filled twelve baskets with the IragmenlB. I suppose the btukets ;to have been of the same size, for I do not discover that the second •etof baskeu were any larger than the first. How-ever, from a stttck of seven loaves, after all ezpea-ditare, there came seven baskets as a remainder; but when 'here were only five loaves, and a greater expenditure, there were twelve baskets full left for ths waiters. Tble Is singular. The more .they begin with, the less thoy end with; and the less they begio with, the more they have when the feast is concluded. Yet I have often noUood that this does.occur. Have not you? When you or 1 have begun rather grandly, and God haa bies-•ed us, wo have had great reason to thank him; but when we have begun very feebly, he has ftwqnenUy blessed us far more, and we have ended by praising him upou the high-sounding cymbals.

Note again that there was less visible means when there was mere done. There were only five loaves, but they fa I flvo thousand: when there wereseveu loaves they fed only four thousand. The most was done when there w»« the least to do with. And M it shall happen to you, O worker for Jesns; for the more God blesses you, the less you shall see of any adequate reason in yourislf why yoQ should be blest.

Another eurlons thing is that when there was most eaten there was most left When five thou-and beddas womeu and ehii Iren ato as ' mnph as •vei they could, they left moro than the four thou-

, sand did. The smaUer number eonld not oat so pneh ail the greater, yet their residuumof food nn-

Mtou t^k than when five tltou to iho full, r i ; t a enrioiis I

our regulKtious. We wpptwe thft tM oompany, ihe'lestt will re^iiiln} but ber|:,lt seem* that when the oompituy was largest l l i en , Ibftt whieh was left was largest; and when tho LOm» pany WM f»#dr then less was lett Il'U sblvUH tis the itiore we have to draw from us spiritnally the more will reiiiiald tor our p<^'tioii.

If yott: wil' work fur Ohrist, anid give for Chrtst, and labor for Christ, you shall have a rich return of present Joy tVom lilni {and this' hsliiliavi) a propor* tiOB lit it. Many people will always be poor be-canse they never giv)] to the cauxe of God; l*oor people should give in ohiur that they may not be lioor any longer, and thetioli shonUV itWe tbai'they in*y no. bscoiue p'>oi>. ( moan not that thete are to be the chlcf inoiives, but that they may havu their place. You that have llitle ability should work hard with that little abllit/ that you may In crease it; and ynu that have gceat ability of ooursA should do so, because ye have so many uleuts en-trusted to you. The Lord will allow no service uncompensated; and work dune for the poor and needy shall wiu its wages, nut of debt, but of grace,

Tho chief point for all of us t« to get at the blesseil work. In the name of the evisi^llvlng God, let us feed each one his man thkt is nMroat to Itfin till the whole company shall be fed; for the Ohrist 'is be-hlud us, the Son of God is worklhg irlth us; and tho broail is liot our bread, but his broad; and the feeding of the muititHde.Is notour work, but his; and the |>bwnr is not ours, but all his own, au&l to his name ah^ll be nil the glory. Amen.

THE POSITION OF THE GEORGIA ASSO-CIATION—18 IT RIGHT?

THE question below discussetl by a corre-spondent of the CArislian Index Is, Is a

church warranted In re-baptizlng one of her own members, or a subject who declares that he was not regenerated, and demands Christian baptism for the answer of a good eonseience ? It is an im-portant and practical question, and we give the able article space.—EDITO B BArns*.

"Bat," says an objector to re-baptlsm, "the church had alt the party could say the first time, and was derived by his profession, what assuranco that she may not 1)0 deceived by his second pro-fession?" Just so. So she may. Bot pardon as for saying It is not far removed from puorility to argue after this fashion. No fear of making a second mistake can pos^ilbly oxcuse the church from correcting one already made. Two, nor any number of wrongs, can make a right. The church, as in duty bound, acted as she thonij^t right in the first case, but, not being a " discernef of spirits," was deceived. For a similar reuon site may Ito deceived again. But what of that? I'JBshe not liable to make misUkes at every tnrn, In every act ^ Must she, then, cease to act at all In every-thing because she is not infallible? Do brethren want to separate baptism firom all other acts of obedience, and make a sort of/cUoA of it, to be ap-proach with fear and trembling? or shall i t s u n d where the Master pnt it,-~ as the first act of obe-dience of a converted man, and only important as such act of obedience ? And shall a church thrust Its authority between a converted soul and Its obedience beeause It fears either it or that soul may be deceived I We regard baptism as the duty of a believer, and think tho church should, in every cape, use such diligence to see that such,' and such only, as truly believe, are baptized. And If It fiAds, according to lU boat Judgment, one was nn> witUngly baptised In a stale of unbdlei; and has now a "good hope through grace," she should oemmand him to bo bapUeed, symbolising his ftlth; for the former act was nothing but a mere dipping, the faith it ftrofessed not hitvl^g My jex' steaoe, and was therefore In no tense a gbspet bHpUsm.

Why do our brethren «i>pro«oli tbls^tHMUon of re-bapUsm with} bated kreatbP I>oc« Odi ordi-nance of baptism, yet ourrjr to thorn the odor of saoramentallim? BaptU^ ought; to get orer all

in| o r Us ^acraweutal or miiilo I? Ill M.H « ploco of thetif ri||a:i|in, symbol-

sinjj certan ftct(i,>ud so opvating ip spiritual change in Its reolplent, not mlitlsttirlng {» any, but jvlmpty expressive o f fact, and dftpenUent for va-lidity on the e*l8twcet,ofsu9|i»/jtou , ^ WhI" it U sidd,'^t'he rtpeUttoD of 'he act will bring reproach upou na as Biptlsts." We do not 'ihink HO. On^thii oontrarv, oonslsteuey is always

[jible. And wl^t wusi^^e worjd think, of t)s fen constsutly demanding Mlievers' bspilsiu II,

Wheti we find one who iiisbts that he has been baptiml in a state of uub^ll^ we say this Is suf-fiolent, beottuso it wasUotiu by Baptist hands, aud by the saiictloH of « Baptist chureh, and that, too, in acase wliero Huch baptism would by no muaus have been aduilnisten.'d liadthe facts boeu Icuowu? Win we nut bo Juttly uhargeablo either with iuMin-oerity in deiuandlng bollovors' baptlsih, and with attaching a magical efflcaoy to its adniinlstratiott by Baptist hands whioh can make it believers' baptism though administered to oue In a state of uubellel ? Better to bo ceiislateut, and let conte-queuuoa take care of themselves.

Again It Is urged, If we yield to the demand for another baptism It opens tho door te repeated bap-tisms, and that persons, every time* they -baokslids and arts rcclaiuiotl^ will want to bo baptieed ovor. This may bo styleil an argument for couvenlenco, and, as such, b worth about as much as the same kind of argument lu favor of sprinkling for bap-: tlsin, in fact is worth Just nothing at all. If Jesoa commands us to baptize every believer, then it must be dpue, uonvonient or inconvenient. But, to quiet the nerves uf any who may fear trouble of this sort, tlie wntur may say that he has been a Baptist tor forty years, and has seen the ordlnanee administarod the second time In all these years In throe or four States, and yet has never seen nor heard Ota application for ite administration the third time. Indeed, it must be qnite apparent that persons are not in much danger of being too con-scientious In doing so dlss^jfreeable a duty.-

But lot us examine the logical sequences of tho position of our opponents, and see whether they are willing to abide by them. Let ua suppose it settled that In no case baptism la to be repeated; and this is the position of the Georgia Assodatioa. Now take a case. Deacon John Smith has a pretty Rud accomplished daughter. Will Jones, who lives in the neighborhood, fails In love with and wants to marry lior. But Will Is a graceless scamp, a drunken, gambling reprobate and, kttowlng Deacon Smith will not cousent to the proposed al-liance, hlU upon a plan to succeed. Ho profossos, ronton, is bapt iz^ unites with the deacon's church, making great show of his piety. Tho trick wins, and tho good deacon consents to tho marriage. Scarcely, however, has the wedding knot been tied until Will returns to bis old iifo, and, in his drunken revels, makes sport ef the dc-ceptlon he has practiced on the deacon and tho church. This he continues to do for ten or fifteen years. At the end of that time he Is genuinely converted to God. and applies to the church for meAibershtp. He expresses his sorrow for the de-eet^on he practiced In forinorly uniting with It. Now, according to our brethren of the Georgia Association, he must bo restored to fellowship on a profusion and baptism that was "conceived In sin and brought forth in iniquity,"T-a sin and Iniquity as high-handed and God-defying as ever was committed by man. Tho church restores him on assurance of deep aorrow and repentance for daring Impiety. All this time ho haa been carry-ing around, in Ida drunken debauehes, a valid bap-tlstn, but not ao valid but that it must bo repented of aa a beloous sin against Heaven and the church. Wis ever position more absurd I A thing valid as au act of bellevora' obedience to Ohrist and at the same time an awftil sin to bo repented of in sack-oloth and ashes I Can that position be oorreot which leada to auob oonclusiona? " We ani wer empbaUoally,NoI"

But our brethren seem to thi nk that bocatiae |he ohureh and adtninlstrator acted l e ^ l y and Hght at'the flratbaptlatti the u t iras therefore Valid. T* thia we reply, that not everything done legally by

• J

Take an example. A sells a piece o* land to M. The deed Is dnlV^ and proyorly insdo out, describing the property by iiiotos and boundi', is properly ae-know'cdgcd hefai-o llie rlKlit otllijor, and duly roglsleml in tho rownl iiook of tho couiuy. But thodeoil Is alisuhiioly void. Why? Tho lawyer who drew tho lUwd, Iho dork before whom It wai« aoknowlwlgoil, lliti rogidti-ttr of (he c«>unty. all acted legally and right. And tlisir ac's were not valid ? Ccrtaluly not. A never ownwl the land, and a iloetl from hini coiivoy<?d nolliing. And what Is worse. It will nul ooiivey tho property though A acquired the tiilo lo it tho n«\xt day after he made tho deed I to B. It was void when made, and nothing could over make it valid except a re-oxecwtlon, So in iiiis case, though the uhurch actcd legally, and the adtninislialor likewise, each acting within tho wropo of aulhorily, on a supposed Htatc of fdcts, y«f tho baiitisni svas not valid be-cause tho law anllmriKoil sunh act to ho porformed only on one who '.iM a title lo tho hoaveiily in-heritance. This tltlu buing ahAcnt the ministerial acts ofnhurch and minister, though strictly legal, were ab«k>lHt«5ly null and void, and no sHbsequent acquisition of liie tlllo to Iho heavenly inheritance can galvanize it into lile: tho nnnbloriai aoU must bo re performed. Tliorefore it is a misnomer to call ttje subMcqueut baptism of tho same parson on a profession uf faith Hatisfactory to tho church a re-haptism: il is tho fliBt and only baptism, tho lor mer so called baplifim hoing a mci-o nullity. As the clinrch, in tho llrst CBKU, actcd upon its best dis-cretion and rospousihiiitv to tlio Master, no in the last caHO; and no iwwor on earth has tho right to question either act.

I t is in the nature of a ilccinion of n court of competent aud exclusive jurisdiction. Tho Georgia Association, In undertaking to decide this question forthochurchos, a munod ccclusianUcal Jurisdiction unusual among Bupiist AHHociations, uncousti-tutional and void. It is not its pryvinco to decide gospel order for tho ciiufchcH. In doing so it as sumes power exprcHsiy denied to it In Us consti-tution,— a power which no Baptist churclios have over delegated, or will over delegate, to an Asso-ciation. To do 80 would bo to sot up a hierarchy, and submit to an ccclcsiastical despotism fatal to one of tho most dlmingulihing and most clicrished principles of all nap.ihtf, —tho absolute inde-pendsncy of tho churches. " Kternal vigilance is the price of liboriy" is HH true in ecclesiastical matter-* as In matters of State; and Baptists can never too jealously guard tho principles o( their fathers, nor too obstinately "stand fast in the liberty wherowlth Christ han made tliom free" from occiosiastlcai despotism. If otir AssoclatlonB are to decide for tho ohurches what is aud what Is not gospel order of what right can a cliurch feci secure? The Georgia Association, for assuming thla right, and for presuming to doclde for the churches what Is gospel order, owes an apology to every Baptist In tho world. Tlio decision was un constitutional, unsoriplurai and wroug. But you ask, has not the Association the right to express Its opinion ? As an Association, " emphatically, n o ! " I t was not constituted by the ciiurchcs lo judge of gospel order for them; and when It essays to do so its utterance is either a moro hrutum fulmen or an assumption of power alike Hnoonstltutlonal, un-baptlstlo and dangerous to tho indeptndonce of the ohurches. Its decision,il It is Intended lo bo outiiorl-tatlve, strikes down, with mailed hand, at once Its own constlluttou and tho liberty of the churchcs. ir'lt Is Intended to be only tho expression of the Individual opinion 61 the mombors composing, lor the time being, the body, tlien wo atty. If •oeh oplnlona of gcsspel order are held as would open the door to infant baptism and open oomMuniou, and asaail the > independency of the ohurchea, it were better lo suppress than express thorn.

BRO GRAVES: — ! desire, through Tn« BAP-TIST, «o urge on all he brethren the importance

of the coming fifth-Sunday meetings. These could be made a very powerful factor In our pn^-nwt. But, as it is, they amount, in many instances, to veiy little. Many a f astor, with no engagement for Uie fif>h Sunday In this month, is now preparing . to pass by the mwtiiig of bis brethren for the general welfare, and go off to some disUnt church or sch<K)l-houie to preach, as if he was puszled to find some way to spend Ihe off Sunday. Does a carefnl study of the condition of ourdenomlaaUon suggest no service you could render nor receive by attending the«w meetiags of your brethren ? Others will stay at home and preach to cl>urches that have heard them IhrBO times a w<ek fur months, and even years. And worse still, these cbnrchcs often expect, and even demand, this of their pastors. Alas! when will they learu that "It Is more blessrd to give than to receive"? If they would all rise up and re quest tlielr pastors to devote every fifth Sunday to tho general good In thCM meetings the act would react lu greater blessings upon them ihau all the sermons they would ,hear on those days. Not a few of our diurches are dying of an exclusive effort to keep allte. And this isolation of workers and interests Is one of the most fhiltful sources of wcckness in all our work.

Dear brethren, pastors and chnrcbes, do prepare to give youraelves up entirely to ttiese meetings t It will brl^g ble>^iug« to you and to alt the brother-hood. And let us go pret»ared to contribute some new thought ou the great questions that are vital to our prosperity. How these meetings would warm and blase wiUi the fire of a new life If we wonid carry to them the preparation In thought and prayer which we carry Into our puIplU I And do not leave these meetings nntU large eollectlons have boen raised for oar mlssioos. With the wUl let there be also the doing of It. .Every effort Is being made not only to make these meetings great occasions to those present, but to turn them to practical account In raising the money to double our missionary worfe^

H K M A K K B . — W e cannot withhold this proposition from our patrons in every S(ale of the Sonth and West. We should rejoicc to be used aa an instni-men(ality in raising IIOOO or $5000 as a permanent fund for Ute education of young ministen at the Southwestern Baptist University and Carson Col> lege. Should Bro. B's. propoaition find favor we propose that $1(X) a year for two or three years only be ioai ed to a student, and his note be taken for the amount at six per cent interest, to be pahl back in annual installments of f25 or foO after he has finished his course and enterod upon his pas-torate. No young man truly called of God to the ministry, spiritually or morally qualified for the work, would object to this—plan. We submit it and await the opinion of the friends of ministerial cducaUon, and to young ministers t>oth in our schools and id onr pulpits.

CHURCH AUTHOIUTY AND VALID BAPTISM.

IN THE Baptut lUfltctor of April the fifteenth, 1886, we find the following editorial statemenia

touching church authority and valid baptism:— " If the ordinance Is in the hands of the minister

then what becomes of the baptisms of a man who has acted as the pastor of a church, and, as aueh, has baptized persons under her authority, and yet, as it turns out afterwards, has never bean orJainod, and hence rosigns his office? Must all such per-sons be robaptized ? Wo say not. The adminis* trator had been baptiKcd, was a memlMr of the church, aud acted under authority. The church had tho right to authorize her baptized member to administer tho ordinance; and the fact that she thought him a regular, ordained minister does not change tho fact."

We iwlieve that tho authority to baptize has been committed to the church. The church l>ap* tizes through her servants, the ministers of Christ who have been legally set apart for this worlc. But while this is true the church has no right to appoinf any one, not even one of her own mem bers, to administer the ordinance of baptism unless he possesses the qualifications specified in tho di vine law.

When we turn to the word of God we find that the right to baptize is limited to a certain clasa,— to the baptized and ordained ministers of, the gos-pel. Consequently all others aro excluded. (Mark iii. 13,14, and Matt xxviii. 19.)

Then, according to the divine law, the church has no right to authorize an unordained raemiier to administer the ordinance of InpUsm for her. More than this, she has no right to appoint any one except an ordained -minister of the gospel. The worii of preaching and baptising is ccmniittod to the same hand s, aa will be aeen by reference to the commission.

There Is not a single Instance recorded in the New Testament where the uut>aptie«d and unor< dained Were auUiorlKed to baptize except John the BapliKt, wlio waf sent by Ohrist to porform tbU work. Tfierbfo^ we come to the conclusion (that if > menil^r of the church, or an unordained miuir ' - ' i'"-/.g»Hipei, ahonld, by the authority of

the church, administer ilie ordinance of baptism, such baptism would be null and void, and (b« Ittrson or persona b a p t i ^ by anoh administrator •houid be legally baptiicad. Being pastor of the church will not alter the ease in the slightest de* gree.

Wh«u SI church sa!!* « man *o n m o b for her at pastor it ia her ddty to know that be is not only a member of the church, and a minister of tho gos-pel, but that he Is an ordained minister. A neg-lect of this is Ipezcnsable.

The church has just as much right to authorize one of her liaptlzed meml>ers to sprinkle liabits as she haa to authorize a memlier who Is not an Or-dained minister to baptize. *

four months to Mrs. A. Montague, Mrs. J . Rut-ledge and J . C. Grimes, give one dollar to your young iniiters, and fifty cents to the tract fuird of th« Young South.

I have given ten dollars towards the education of one of our young miniaters this year.

Two of the above anlMcribera cliUm tiiat money was so scarce'they could not take the paper. I told them If they wanted it I would send the money, and they could pay me in egga. Though I am a farmer, and not in the habit of buying esrgs, they agreed to this at once. I meniioa this to show that " where there is a WILL there is a vasf."

I was discussing the communion question with ray pastor the other day, and in order to support inter-communion he took the position that com-manlon was an ac' of worship! I think It is the doty of all to engage In acts of worship; hence all shonld commune. This would lead to open-oom-mnnion in general. To what straita the defenders of this tradition are driven! Your brother,

Sorby, Tenn. A. O- M O N T A O U E .

Thanks many, Bro. M. I t is true, haid as the times are, if only 1000 out of the many thousands •f our readers would resolve that three thousand new subscribers shall be added to our list before the first of July, or June even, it would be done—the will to do it would find the w ay.

Yonr pastor got his argument classing eating the Lord's supper with acts of worship from the Mit»i»tippi Aeeord. Every argument with which inter-oommnnion baa so far been defended is fatal to the existence of Baptist churches. Are tiie ad-vocates of the -'tradition" ao blind that tbey cannot see t h b ? '

A WORD FROM BRO. FULBRIGHT. 1>R0. GBAVES:—I have Jnst read your exposi-

tion of the parable of the tares, and heartily agree with it. The first four leaaons which yoa draw flrom it aeom to me manlfaat. As to five and aix I am not preptred to express an opinion. On tlie whole I am glad yon pnblisl>ed it.

While my work here h i s not been largo, I feel the Lord has blessed me beyond my expectaUoof* Twenty-six additions in the fiist six monthsof my pastorate, and the church seOms to be growing la spirituality and chumh-work. I t is one of the best chnrchaa in the State, and I hope (hat In many respec(s it will soon be the beat. Sunday-school now nnmbers one hundred and ten, and ia faat growing. The church has, rince Deramber 1st, 1881, given as much for foreign missions aa the entire Association gave for ail missions the last assodational year.

I am lejoioed to hear of your continued improve-ment. Some of mr brethren will send me to the Convention next week. This is not written for publication, though of coorse, If there is anything in it which yon should wish to use, yon have my permission. To God be all praise I Your brother,

T h e prasidont ap|H>inted on that com-mittee, J . W. .Tones of Virgin ia . B. Manly of Ken-tucky, J , H. Kilpatr ick of Georgia, J . M. Carroll of Nor th Carol ina, and M. B. VVharton of Alabama.

Af te r deliberation tho commit tee brought in a major i ty and minor i ty rciM>rt. Tho former signed by MoHsrs. Manly, Whar ion, and Carroll , declar-ing that while they did not deem i tdxpodient , and for the best interests of tiie Convent ion to allow ladiea to comeii i as momltors, tliey saw notliing in the constitutioii to pruveiit their inemberskip. Tlie minority report , signed by Messrs. Jones ami Kilpatr ick, pn>iK>scd to rospectfuily denv. admis-sion lo the f e m a h delepaies f rom Arkansas .

Rev. J , W. . lonosof Vi ig in ia said if, as was 8taie<i by the major i ty rofwri, there was nothing in the consti tution prohibi t ing the admission of ladies a t delegates, Il was because it was f ramed at a time when thero wa* no probabil i ty of such an issue' arising. For for ty years the Convenilen had boon in existence, and nover yet had a female taken part iu its Uoliberations. If there was notiiing in the written iuii lrument denying litem a place iu the Convention, there was the common law, the un-broken custom of tlie Couventlon dur l i ig Its entire oxi'iience, wliica declared aga ins t receiving tliem.

Dr. Manly believes every sensible m a n should s tand lo his oonviotions. Ho was a s t r ic t constmc-tioulRt. He bttilovod tha t the Convention was |jy tho law of i ts conatltutlon. Tlio lieat way to defeat a bad l a w was to enforee I t T h a t the Con-Tontion had no right , e i ther tiiit>ugh prejodioe or foeiiug to evade or to d is regard t k e ' wr i t t en law.

D r . Sydnor of V i i ^ l a said i t had been a rgued t h a t the const l ta t ion does not prescribe even chorch-membership as a pre^requislte to being a delegate to this Convent ion.

I believe Bro. Stewart of (Georgia Is r i g h t T h e const l tct ion Is subJcct to construct ion by the Convention. B a t could the Convent ion con s t m e i t flUrly and exclude these l ad i e s? I do not th ink they should be admi t ted becaui-tof any loop-hole t ha t may exist in t h e consti tut ion. These ladies do a great work in Arkansas .

There can ho no doubt but that eleven of the twelve ajwstlcii, and the seventy missionaries ae-leotctl out of John's converts, were regenerated. I t ukes a Methodist to deny It, John not only nj-qulrod each one to make a profession of repontance toward God and b{fllef in Christ, but that they should give him some satisfactory evidence,— fruite meet for repentance, — before ho baptized them; and this Is far too seldom done now.

Tho Northern Presbyterian missionary at Klo do Janeiro bitterly opposed the settling of Bov. W. B, Bagby, tho Southern BapUst missionary. In that city, and urged his people not to attend tho preach-ing of the now comer. Thus, in robuking the im-agined bigotry of Baptists he betrays a very real and quite extreme bigotry of his own Christian Index. Presbyterian mluisten in Mexico, as well as in Uraail and Italy, bitterly antagonize Baptists in tho face of tho common foe, the Catholics, and aro as implacably hostile to us as tho Catholics tbomsolves; and yet there aro Baptist ministers among us who Insist that those are ministers of ovangolical churches.

We have it over Bro.

Dickinson ol tho Hdigtoua Herahl, aod to Injure the circulation of that paper iu tho North, and in Woet Virginia ospocialiy, but uot for his Landmarkism certainly, or for any just cause.

Landrufm. President Moll then iutroduoed lion.

J . C , C . Black, w h o dejivorwl the following brief

addicas of cordfial wei'^'Ome to the Convention: —

B B E T H R K N : — I tery niuoh regret that the duty

of this wrvioo has not fallen upon some one bettor

prepared to express tho cordkllty with which we

greet you. This meeting would bo intere«tlng

uudpr any circurastancoa. T h e fact that forty years

SKO thii Convention w a s organiKdfhere, — t h s fact

that It had its birth here, — t h e record that it has

made, are calculated to w a k e into liv^Hest aellci.

tudo the dullest fienaibility present. Greatt changes

h»vo como since that time, ev<'nts which h * ^ lotl

their iuiproM UJKIB history, — seasons of peact and

year« ol war. But I think, looking biick, w e <tti

«ee the golden threail of God ' s pregance ruDuIbg

through it all. W e greet you most cordially, and

ho|>e that your time spent a m o n g us m a y be moat

pleaeaiit. W i t h ail m y heart, in behalf of this

church anil this city, I welcome you. and pray that

G o d m a y rule over yonr deliboralions.

Dr . W . E . Hatcher of Virginia responded on the

part of tho Convention, and said: ~

TUe scene before m e stirs m y heart with tender

rccoilectionii. Last s u m m e r I paid a visit to the

scene of m y childhood, and to m y old mother

church, ii had l)eeu long years since I was there.

It is a plain old structure, standing under giant

oaks on the crown of a hill near the base of the

Blue Ridge, in Virginia, 'lliero is nothing in it to

attract a stranger, tint to m e it was ijcautiful and

inelTably dear. Dear twcause in i u wails I had

first felt the thrill of a Christian hope. So when

1 climboil llie hill, and the sight of tho old liouse

broke uixnn m y vision, m y heart fainted within

me. B u i when I entered the bonse, and swept my

eye over ihe crowd, where were they! —tho

fathcroand mothers, tho y o u n g men and maidens?

They wcni gone. Here and tiiere I saw a face I

had Bccn Iwfore, but it w a s so marred by time I

could hardly rccognize it. It would haVe broken

ray heart with anguish but that the places of the

fathers and mothers wore U k e n by tho children.

M e n m a y come and go, but the gospel of G o d

on forever.

It was forty years ago that this Convention wa»

organized. Surely, M r . President, there is no city

in the South so intimately connected with this

Convention as Augusta. Hero it had its birth. It

w a s brought forth in the fulness of time, — bom,

not in a niangor, but in a palace, and cradled in

the bosom of tho hospiUlity of this people. It has

gone on increasing in numbers and growing in

iwwer , and n o w , after forty years, it has como back

again.

I acccpt your greeting, m y l>rotlior. I accept it

in tho name of some w h o , with snowy locks and

wrinklcil brow, are bore to-day as they wore two

score years ago, — i n the n a m e of those w h o were

here then but are not here to-<lay. Last Sunday

an old deacon in R ichmond , V a . , asked If I was

coming, anil told m o lie was hero forty years ago.

Those are hero to-day in spirit though enehaine«l

at home by the feebloneaa of ago. I accept your

greoUng in tho n a m e of the m a n y w h o have gouo

u p from us. T h e y are not in seeing and hearing

disUnco of u s ; they will not meet under these

trees a n d undar this roof viith u s : but Johnson,

Howell , Jeter, M a n l y , Poindexter a n d Taylor will

overlook our deliberaUons, and talk of what has

boon a n d what Is to be. 1 a m sure they are with

us in spirit, and even in their n a m e I accept your

gttseUng. I n tho n a m e of t h o w present, a noble

baud of Christian brothers, I accept your greeting

a n d hospitality. H a v i n g oome to you, w e humbly

trust w e have come bringing tho gospo of

with amply e n o u g h to West your city and the

A n d yet, if this "aimpie vegistabie

tised by any one as a apeciflc for this

terrible disease, certainly the Surgeon

Qeneral would Dot commeuil it, uo /

would bigoted physicians prescribe it I

Nevertheless, it is a fact that m a n y

of the best proprietary medicincs of

stated in SctibMr^t Monthlj/t were

more successful tlian m a n y physicians

and most o f them. It should ,be re-

membered, were at first dlsoovered or

used in actual medical practice. W h e n

however, any shrewd persouf, know-

log of their virtue, and foresooing

their popularity, secured and adver-

tised them, then, in the opinion of tbo

bigoted, all virtue went out of t b e m '

Isn't this absurd!

W o believe that a remedy, if prop-

erly made, is just as effective w h e n

put up. advertised andnold in bulk, as

w b a n aoled out to patients at enor

W h y not?

Atiropos of the suspension of some

very prominent members by tiic Medi

cal and Chlrugical faculty of Mary-

land, for endorsing advertised rome-

dles, the Baltimore American (April

25) says that " w h e n a patent inecticino

goes on year after year widening its

circle of believers, it is a pretty fair

evidence that there is merit iu it T h e

regular doctors m a y ignore it, and

ex|)el any of their members w ho uso

J. Its tboioaKiiiiess. Thia OommentHry is not written by one writer only, a« la the case with Clark, Henry, fte«tt and others, bat by three of the ahleiitaebolanoftheprafwiotdav, thuit euablioK each author to devote ail hia •kill, time aodenei*y to a lirolted portion of the Bible instead of tho wholo; imd theao have quoted extenniyely from the works of no leee than ooe hoDdred and fifty ol the inodt eminont Biblical writew of the |»r(>6ent and past.

i. Ita moOemneB". Now lisht Is continually bcint; thniwn upon tho ScripiurtH by the re-

Marcfaea OF travelers who have viaited every roKioii on which the light of revolatioo oriKiiuUly shone, by Inve'tivHtiun in wien'H?, the expodtory labon of sehdbvs and critiGs, and the liiscovfry and deciphering of ancient inacriptlrae, moonmeQts and nianu»cripta, thus ronderint; the conamen-taries of fomm day oomparitively uaeluts.

4. Itabrevi There ia no mentary that will help the reader to arrive at tho full

6. Its Ubetal spirit It is m(ff9 anBectarian than any other Commentary. "The riame^ of

the authors are a aailkdent guaranty ugainst any donoiniuational traits iu it" These aBtbors are eaeh of a different dcnamination. The hearty reoommendatlon of the leading men of all denominations givoH this still grealer emphasis.

6. Its Scriptare references. Hmw an moi noineroQS than will bo found In any commmentary ex

tant PUalM psBsageB are given wherever they are nced.Kl. Bcripture Is thosexplained Scripture; and the Commentary will thus be found to answer the parpOBO of • conoordanee to a very great extent.

7. Its Uloslntloas and maps. These are mfBdently numerous to decidedly enhance Its wlun and at-

tracUveaeii WhUethegreat mit}<»ity of commentaries havenolllustraUons. 8. Itscbflapoess. Nooooimeotaiyof ifssisoand merit was ever sold for anything like

A man's force in the world, other (hing'i being eqiitl, is Jiut ill tbe ratio of the force and stronglh of hl4 heart.

A little further. Wli-in thi waterworks com-pany have gathered an abuiidano« af water In the reservoir, there Is oiia thing tli»y must always at-tend to, and that is, they in>i-j take caro they do not attempt too much, or otherwise thoy will fail. Suppose they lay on a groat main plpt* iu om place

stream, Marah, to which tho thirsty pilgr|m in the to serve one city, and anothar main pl|Hj to serve desert came to drink; and when tluiy tasted of It, another, and tha supplv wl.iclj was intended t> till it wat 80 brackUh that thougii their loiigao< were oiio channel is dlverteii Into a score of streams, liae torches, and the roofs of their moutiha wore what would lie the result? Wliy nothing would parched with heat, yet they conid not drink that bo done well, hnt every one would htve cau^o to bitter water. Do you remember tho i-emi^y Moses complain. Now, man's heart-is <»fter all so little, preacribed? It is tho remedy which we prescribe " t» you this rooruiiig. He took a cortalu (rec, and Cfst it into the wators, and they becaine ^weet aud clear. Your heart it by nature like Mara ji's water, bitter and Impure. There i t a certain ^ree, you know Jts name, the tree on which tho Savior hnug, the crott. Take (bat tree, put It in your fjeart, and though it wei-e even more impure than itj is, that tweet cross, applied by the Holy Spirit, would soon trantft-om it Into its own uatnre, aud mak > it pure, Christ JeauB in the heart i4.the tweot pur flcation. He It niado unto us aauotlflcalion. KlUah oast s tit lato tho wators, but we mutt oast the bloojd of Je-ttis there. Onco let us know and lova Jesiis, onee let his cross become the object of ouradoratloj and tbe (home of our delight, tho heart will Iwglu its oleftQsing, and the life will beoome pure also. On (hat we ail did iearn the sacreil less in of tlxing the i0fp«ala theheaiit Ohrlstlas maM, love thy da-vlpi^more; ory to tho Holy Spirit thaf. thoii mayost hM* more affection for Jesuf. Tho ci-oss' in tho

,haar*. It the ptirifler of the soul; It purl (let and i|M>uoii t|i«:charabers of the mind. Christian, keep thy heart, pure, "For out of it are tbe Issues of Ilfc."., .

U L In the tliird plaoe, there It one thing to which our water eompaiilM never pay tnuoh teution ; that It It to aay, If the water bo pure,' and Ue regenfohr be ftill, they need nof oare (o keep It peaoteble and qalet, for let It be atirrttdUo a storm, wa thonld reoeive our «rator in Just thb'skmo oon-dltloB at utual. It I r not to, howAver, With (he iMart Unieta tho heart bo ke^it poaeoable, the llfb will not be happy. I f oalin did not i^ljjfi^ovor (hat tuner lake within tbe soul wblob feeds tho rlvort

that there Is only one groat direction Into which Its living waters can ever flow; and my fourth piece of advice to you from this text Is: Keep your heart undivided. Suppoj*) you see a lake, aud there aro twenty or thirty slreamiet* rnnnlng from It ; why, there will not be onostrong rlvor In tho whole country; there will ba a numbiM' of liitle brooks which will be drleil up iu the aumrner, and will bo temporal V torrents In tiio whiter. Tbey will, every one of theiu, be useless for any great purposes, because there is not vator enough in the lake to feed more than ono great stream, Now, a m^n's heart has only life enough in It to pursue one object fully.
