i r a C H o r 8. BASSB, B. p. Brother B a W , of NashTille arose, and

n id that he appeared be&n: the convention as the President of the Bible Board of the Soaihera Baptist ConTention, to advocate the ckuns of that BoartL He deeply re-gretted the separation that had talen place in the lEssIonary" and Bible prganiiations of the denominatiou. H e woii l i hare re-joiced if the Baptista throughout tBfc land sotild have contintiei to work aide by side ia.the great wort of sending, out the light of trath to the ends of the earth;, hnt we m t ^ take things aa they are, and not as we might wish to hare them. A separa-tion had t a W place, and the Southern B^idst Confention," at their late meeting tn^ashriDe, had created a Bible ^ a r d , aad it was highly important that the Bap-tisti in the South should unite their efforts in the work of Bible disfribntion. He was awai« that the Baptists of Kentucky bad thought it best to sectire union o f action imoBg themselves to abandon the auxil-iaiy relation, and mamtafa an independent position. It wns not the business of the Bible Board to dictate in such matters, and the members of that Board had no dispo-

=Btion whatever to interfere with the action of any State orginizatJon. The brethren of t a c k y were the best jndgea of what

nesessaiT to secare nniQii"'of action themselves: and it was more imfror-

t ^ {br them to be milted than for them to

the Soitlwn M any other M l e B o a r f . "^TCP ^ though from the position he occupied he eipectcd to work in full harmony w i t i his brethren in the South, yet he expected ever to eheruh an mterest in BibTe and Mission-D j operations throughout the world." God forhid that the time should ever come when ie Bionld cease to cherish an interest in

How inblime the topics on which the Bible treats! What a dignified simplicity in its manner of .iandUug themJ How noble the myste-nea it developes? What illumination it throws on points the most interesting to creatures conscious of immortalitr! How curious and riveting is the history which the BiWe gives tts of the infiincv of man. the cradling, so to speak, of the earth's poptriation! What a nobie systein of jnris-pnidence we have exhibited in the sUttite book of Moies! What a fine specimen of powerful eloquence^ Paul gives u» a» he s u n d s pleading in bonds at Agrippa's tri-bunal!" W h i t sublimer poetry can we find than in the rapturous strains of Isaiah, iweepmg the chorth to Zion's g lo iy? I f you want the pathetic, read the la^enta-Uons of Jeremiah. , I f you want the soft and tenderin poetry, listen to the strains of the sweet singer of Israel; and if you want the glow of fancy and the strength oi descnpjion, read the book of Job . > The Bible excels all human composition in the beauty and . s u b l i m i t of i u style. And where wiD yon find such a pore and ele-vated morality as that which breathes through the sermon on the mount? Noth-ing like it can be found elsewhere; and the literary ments of the Bible will commend It to such a reading and enlightened people as the Chinese.

A n d it is an important consideration that the Chinese mode of writing is current and legible, far beyond the limits of China.

J The Chinese need the Bible. It is true i they have the writings of Confucitu, and I bocks in such numbers, that a catalogue of j all their books would constitute a library of , more than a hundred volumes. But these j books tell them nothing about Jesus Christ, I or the way of eternal life. They leave the I mind in such darkness conccrning the fu-; ture, that when a friend dies they put a i little gold and silver paper into his coffin, I as his spending money in a future world ; to furnish him the means of procuring his ; rice 1. curry beyond the grave.

I tists to act as pioneers, tist to lead the way in preaching the gos pel on the day of Pentecost. Peter was a

i Baptist. He taught—not that baptism was j a a act of parental dedication—but the an-?swer of a good conscience towards God by '.the resurrection of Christ. The salvation , of Noah and his family in the ark, Peter taught, was a figure of the way in which we are saved by the burial and resurrec-tion of Chriat. The ark was for a time

: rarronnded with water from above and be-aeath, but it outrode the j tona , and those who were ia it were brought safe to land. But there wa» no other mode of deh'verance. Swimming was useless.

A n a tne Bible is aoaptea to ttie wants oi I the Chinese. It is exactly suited to their I moral necessities. A Chinese came into j the assembly at Hong Kong, one Sabbath , morning, and at the close of the service, ^ brother Dean spoke with him and gave him a book. The next Sabbath he came again.

I and brother Dean had further conversa-I tion with him, and gave him another book. ^ On the third Sabbath, after the service, he j came into brother Dean's study, and after ; sitting thoughtfully for a moment, he said, I "Teacher , this doctrine never came from , man, docu ine must have come from jlTod. h u ioctrine was not made for Englishmen. This doctrine was never de-signed for Americans. This doctrine was

1 designed for Chinamen." j The gospel was designed for Chinamen. ^ It has a universal adaptation to the condi-I tion of man, and it carries with it a self-I evidencing power to force a conviction of • its truth and of its divine origin. And ; shall we give the Chinese the Bible, or

Missions in the worid, who e»er held pro- 'shall we leave them without it—to go down perty and gained a permanent footing in

_ the interior of China. This is a decided He selected a Bap- j advance in tha work, of missions in that

iland. God is giving oar brethren th^re peculiar facilities for Bible distribution, and by this He is loudly calling upon us to come up to the work of giving the word of life to those teeming millions.

And the population of China i s bursting forth on every side, placing itself in volun-tary contact with Christians, and seeking the shelter of European governments Millions are already to be found in Burmah and Siam, in Pegu, Assam, and the Ma-layan Archipelago. A J l thoee are aecesai-ble to missionary effort*. A n d it is a feet full of interest, that the Chinese in large, numbers are emigrating to that part of our country lying upon the Pacific shore, and that they are rapidly identifying themselves with our people in manners and customs, as well as bv the purchase and occupation of landed property. I s not this gieatly to affect the question of the evangelization of

t o p t h w ineonceivable. They must be ad- ' and resurrecUon of Christ. Christ 'receiv-mitted mto an eternal Heaven or sink into an eternal Hell, and the salvation of such mnWtndea is a powerfiil incentive to action. We rejoice in the triumphs of the Cross in the Islands of the Padf ie , and on the eontm-ent of- Enrope. «nd ia all other laads^ hut no other-Missionary field upon earth will camparewith China ia the magnitude of it» population. The empire of China em-lM«e» more than one third of the popula-tion.pf .tiie Globe, and this fact alone makes her t h e mort important misswnary field on the face of the earth. ' 9

The resolatioa l l a T e »ttbmitted states the fact, that- t i e " P n m d e n e e o f G t ^ is cillBig^ loudly «poii BaptisU to occupy that « e M . ' » - ' - C h i £ » i i « large part of that world ,w4ieh the Sar ioor died to redeem—and as

worid for which God b^jotten Sob. i t ha* righte-

rf not a mere sprinkling, but a baptism of sufferings. He was overwhelmed with an-guish: He came into deep waters of nfflic-tion, where the waters overwhelmed him,

I but he-outrode that storm of Almighty ! wrath, and emerged from that tea of suffer-lings b y his glwions resnrreSstion. And of jthis baptism is a like figure. It is another .sign of the same thing. It shows forth in emblem that bnrial and re.snrrection which

SMBCH or SIV. J . M. P«K»LZT0». Bro. J . M. Pendleton offered the follow-

ing resolution which was unanimously adop-ted:

Rttdved, That as the Word of God is the prominent instrument in the conversion and salvation of the soul, it is unspeakably important that the Bible be given to the nations.

In support of this Brother Pendleton re-marked:

I presume it will be needless for me to say much, for the several truths contained in the reiolution are almost self-evident. It is assumed that the Word of God is the prominent instrument in the conversion and salvation of the soul. I t should be remem-

Ibered that this word is only an instrument

culation, and you bankrupt the science of numbers and abandon the effort in despair. God has stamped the soul with immortali-ty, and blood of inestimable worth has been shed for its redemption.

Now, if the word of God be prominent-ly instrumental in the conversion and sal-vation of the soul, is it not, as the resolu-tion afiirms. unspeakably important tiiat the Bible be given to the nations? Of how many millions are these nations composed? Thoy will not be saved without the Bible. The Gospel alone can tell them of Jesus Christy the only name under heaven where-by wc must be saved. I s it not important that the Bible be given to the nations? Is it not unspeakably important? Can lan-guage describe its importance? No, bo Language was invented for no such pur-pose.

But the word taupeaiaMy, in the reso-lution. suggeRts the propriety of my saying no more. What transcendent folly to at-tempt to tpeak of that which is urupeaka-We. I call to my aid expressive rilence, which, on such a subject is more appropri-ate than any words could be. I will be silent; for how can the unspeakable be spo-ken of ?

Bro. D y e r moved the foUowing: ItetolvecL I h a t the anomatouT'cna.KiK,

of our teeming population demands a more extensive circulation of the Holy Scrip-tures in our own couiitry. as the great con-servative principle in our social, civil and

I religiotu institutions. In advocating this resolution he remark-

ed ;— The audience have been entertained and

instructed with eloquent remaAs by the brethren who have preceded me. on the necessity of giving the Bible to the heath-en, as the great instrumentality of the soul's conversation; but when we Uke a comprehensive view of our own country, we will be impressed with the fact ^hat much remains to be done at home in Bible operations. Perhaps in the whole past his-tory of the world, no similar combination of circumstances ever surrounded a nation

bor differ widely iii i h e estimatiw i f ^ i ^ whom locality nrii j bring i n t o m a w i i i ^ juxtaposition. Can »II t h ^ e a e n l i be

care the p r o p ^ K s t i t i ' s f ^ i a f i ^ r i ^ without resort to seme c o i n m « standard of authority? A n d where.win t l ^ b i / o u a d but in the pages of Civine Revelation, where an these relations are enjwned, and their relative dutie* and obl i^t ipns 'set forth?

Once more we find the tens of thonssnd* of emigrants, whoyearly flock to our shores, coming with every possible var ia t ioMf re-ligious faith, and of heathenish snpersli-tiori. We have the retaarka'ble phenome-non. in Califomia, of a temple erected n n j dedicated to the purposes of idolatrous

orship. How is it possible to secure aay thing lik-e nninimity of sentiment whea there are such strong and long standing differences? I f we present our forms of denominational creeds, they will very prop-erly and naturally auspect that the object is only to make proselytes to our own sects; ' bat if we give them the "Word of God, where the truth is plainly set forth, the truth will make them free from their bondage to inherited forms and antiquated sapersti-tions. A s a proof of this, it i s somewhat remarkable ftat nearly aD the converrions from Romanism which have occuredia this country, have been directly traceable to the reading of the Bible. " T h e entraaee of Thy Word giveth l i g h t "

Another reason why we should put forth inore effort to ^ v e the Bible to our increa-sing population, is founded in the fact that the living ministers of the word cannot be supplied with sufficient rapidity. We are

I not able to send ministers to preach to bnt a small portion of the inhabitants of onr ne w States, but we can send a Bible, and this may be blessed to the conversion of hundreds, as was the case m the Creek a a .

^ Lnm x,^ _ ^— - , ' was practicably proved that the Bible, in iU j present translation, when read by unbiased i minds, will make Baptists aad only B a p -I tists. When the lamented Joseph Islands, I a native Creek, was converted, h e had no other guide than a common English Bible to inculcate our denominational pecnKari-ties; yet with this ia his hands, he formed

i a Baptist church, m i u form of govern-; meat and views of scriptare doctrine. W e I therefore, have every t h m g ' t o gain and I nothing to lose ia eireulating the Bible.— , The Bible is the great conservative princi-ple in religion. Whaterer we wish to know is taaght thereia so plaialy that the way-fering man, though a fool, shall not err in

understanding it. I t was p v e n that the man of God might be "perfectly and thor-

_ oughly fiiniisbed unto every pood work . " affecting Its present and future prosperity. The Word of God is the tJh, th, Sudi a mmgling together of nations, tongues itr^h.and rMhin^ but Ac tnUL' Therefore, aud people finds no parallel in the chronicles ' of the p a s t

Dissimilar crowds of aU nations, come to otxr shores, with all the strong predilec-tions and prejudices of their native coun-tries, manner of education and social hab-itudes. We find among ns the serf of the Autocrat, the chaUal of the Despot, the s-abject of Oie Monarch, the republican, and the reckles* and rabid disorganizer.— Ia this state of things, what principle will avail effectually to blend and harmonize these antipodal elemcnU? The principles proposed by the mere politican will not d a Parties may be formed, bnt harmony will not be secured. We must find some other great and universal controlling influence, before wo can h c ^ for a nniou of senti-ment which will bind and consolidate dies* heterogeneon* masses into one form of civ-il government We claim that the Holy Scriptures a'one furnish this great idea.— The Bible alone presenu the great conser-vative principle in politics.

"stone, into which wedges of dried wood are driven. These are then wetted or ex-posed to the n!gii dev>, and next morning the different pieces are found separated from each o t t e r by the expansion of the wood, arising from its absorption of mois-ture ! "

This is a very curious instance of a sim-ple natural power doing what would require great trouble and expense to effect, either by chiseling through, or by any machine-ry of sawing, sometimes used for dividing blocks of stone. The same author also

.mentions another instanc<».where a knbwl-edge of the laws of nature, although act-ing here in a different way, is of great ser-vice. In this case the beat first expands, and the application of the water causes a sudden contraction. In the granite quar-ries near Se r in^pa t am the mostlenormous blocks are separated from the solid rock by the following neat and simple process.— The workmen, having found a portion of the rock suSciently extensive, and situated near the edge of the part already quarried, lay bare the upper surface, and mark on it a line of the intended separation, along

' which a groove is cut with a chisel, about j a couple of inches in depth. Above this I groove a narrow line of fire is then kind I led and maintained till the rock below is j thoroughly heated, immediately on which a line of men and WOnm. ear-ji snaaAoA. with a potful of cold water, suddenly sweep off the ashes and pour the water in-to the heated groove, when Jthe rock at once splits with a clean fracture 1 Square blocks of six feet m the side and upwards of eighty feet in length, are sometimes de-tached by this method.

Mr. Holbrook, the celebrated bell-found-er, of Med way, Massachusetts, gives us a little incident of his life, which is worth relating, if nothing more than to show the importance of a knowledge of chemistry. An immense pile of cinders and dross had accumulated near his foundry, which was supposed to be entirely worthless, and was use to fill up stone walls, <fcc. A foreigner who happened to be in town examined the pile on^ day, and offered 8 MX) for it. So large i price excited Mr. H. ' s suspicions that the cinders might contam valuable metal, and he declined' selBng it. The man then offered 8200, which of course ccmfirmed his opinion, and after a little par-ley, the stranger acknowledged that he was acquainted with a process by which valua-ble metal might be extracted from the cin-d ^ , which he offered to divulge for a small compensation. A furnace and appa-ratus was coii'structed according to his di-rectiwi, and when the whole pile was run through, the mass of neglected rubbish yielded a nett profit of thirteen thousand ^ a r s . So much for knowing, "how to d o i t . "

Franklin, speaking of education, says, " I f a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him.

We oppose all cate-chising., sectarian text, or prayer books which are calculated to bias the minds of our race; to cramp free thought, and to mould the present and eternal destiny of many an unhappy victim.

Such is the basis upon which our College is founded, and the principles upon which we propose to conduct it, and we now earn-estly call upon Baptists generally, but e£ pecially upon those who compose Enon and S.alem Association, together with all friends of education, to give your hearty co-cpera-

Let it not be forgotten, that no less than 166 Baptist Churches had been formed in America, before any regular or irregular Meihodist preacher set his foot on the shores of America in that capacity.

Again, if " feet washing" was a chnreh ordinanee, tix mmtion of it the apostle was sa act of supererogation ; for in aueh case it waa the Mmmon lotifaU the iaem-bers to participate. ...Why name a thing which must have oeeuired as a matter'bf course ?

But to return from thia seeming digress sion. I do not chazge brother Montague with having amUtd the weightier matters at the law of Christ, aa contained in the text—the iuppbrt of widows For aught that I know, he may have enlightened hia church on the subject, and they possibly come boldly up to their duty, so clearly inculcated by the word of Qod. If this be ihe ease, he cer-tainly is not so cuipsble as' those who only attend to the chaff, and omit the wheat— virtuallj saying ta poor -widows " be ye warmed and filled," though they move not a finger to effect it |

The Lord forbid that I thould speak a disparaging word in relation to the gospel of Jesus Christ. For I know " i t is the power of God unt« salvation to every one that beli^cs." And no mere human insti-tution or organlzatioa eaa stand in iu stead, or occupy iu place, either in whole or ia ftrL But, at the same time, I am equally clear in the opinion and belief, that a great nany hnman icstiiuiioas are A^/Uy pnmo-nw uf the interesti of true religion,'as agen-ei«i and iBstnunentalities, v i i : Organiia* tions to promote agriculture, the mechanic irti, literary researches, manufactures and cafflfflerce, as weU a* all those which rtal/y LKTS for their object the moral elevation of the human family.

My Ifew Testament allows me to prove all things, and Aoldfitl that which is good: VM, to give my name and influence to any or til 0/ tk» aioM organiiations, though Mffis of then may have the odious brand of " Seent Societies*' attached to tliem !— Herein I have the advaauge of brother Montague, for he. to be consistent, cannot lire bis name or patronage to any of thjm.

It is not consistent with our pulley ta htg My one to join us. The most we ask of our adversaries is, to let lu alone to perform oar work of benevolence and mercy in oar owa way, and cot to raise the hue and ay" of •• Secret Soeietiei," in order to ar ny flw prejadicea of the picas part of the eomnanity against as.

' At an early period after its organisation. The American Medical Association recom-mended the establishing of PBIMAST M M I -CAL SCHOOL*.

The nndersigned rypectfully announces the intentioa of opening such a school at KnoxviUe.

In the loutbern country, so far as is known, but one otlier similar attempt is being made. Dr. William H. Anderson, and two associates, have issued a Prospec-tus for opening at Mobile. Alabama, a Pre-paratory Medical School. These genile-men, in addition lo their fitness for the po-sition they propose to assume, offer the fa-ciliUe.* of the Hospiul, and tha Stmariun practice of the dty. I

It is obviously the duty of young men who intend the practice of Medicine as tlifir vocation, to contribute in carrying out the recommendation of tho American Me-dical Asuociatiun, by seeking direction in their studies from those who propose to fur-nish the necessary faciliUes, and to devote j » Urge portion of their time to the purpose' of inntruciiun. 1

The discussions of the subject of McJi- i eal Education, by the members of Uic As-' sociaUon, have produced the impreisioo! that though in some particulars the chnr-1 tered Medical Colleges may be improved, —yet the great root of defecUvQ qunlifica. tions in thoee whom they diplomate, is the want of ability to appropriate facilities which are intended for students well groun-ded in the rudimenU of mcdical acquire-menu. And it is believed that tliis isHbili-ty proceed* wholly from inefficient primary in*tniction, resulting, not from incompe-tency OB tha j)art of private preceptors, bat from disinclination, growing oat of an absence of that pecaliar sUmalant to incli-nation and energy, pecuniary interest.

It win be the effort of the undersigned to direct the attention of his pupils to such book* as win convey most comprehensive-ly, and in the order here mentioned, a knowledge of Anatomy, Physioloffy, PoA-vlogy, Mattria .Vtliaz. Thtrapeutict, Prac tice of Medicine, OhtUtrict, and Surgtry.

Examinations, and Oral Explanations, with illustrations by Pamtings, Prepara-tions, and Apparatus, will constitute veiy material clemenU in thecontemplated course of instruction.

The class win be formed on the 15th day of February, 1852.

The terms for the entire course, of nine months, will be Fifty DoIIais.

Should the siae of the Class render it necessary, the assistance of Physicians amply quanfied to instruct win be obtain-ed.

EXIMINATION. A public examination of -the pupils of

the Tennessee and Alabama Female In-etitute will be commenced at the Baptist ^ n r c > in Winchester, Tennessee, on the ISth of December, 1851. The examma-fipi^win be eimtinued from day to day un-til cwaj^ted.

A Board of Examiier*, wffl be appoint-ed in due time.

The" Patrons and Friends of the Insti-tute—aU Teachers and their pupils—and the public generaHy are cordially invited to attend.

The Bi»bt Rlsln; of ChrltUnJum. • i believ* and know that Christendom i

shall not receive its rising aright, anleu I baptism and the Lord's Supper are brought' * "P*®®'' '^e Fiftl. tu their original purity." So wrote B a l - ' * Vonice, who, when he had thasar Hubmeyer, one of the noble armv gloty of his princely pal-of Baptist msrtTr».-whose soul ascrnded " " ^ to he«,cn from amid the flames, at Vienns " ' " " ' e d I'im the in 1520. No one hailed more ijladly than "H«ee sunt he Uie rising of Christendom, which had " "These are then commcnccd. Pious, learrwl and elo- , ® unwilling to die." quent. he had. before the dawn of the ''"I''''® Reformation, sought to revive the spirit of I religion in the Catholic church, and multi-tudes had flocked to his preaching, and been moved by his appeals. When Luther and Zuingle lifted their voices for reform, an echo was at once returned from him. Re-ceiving the Scriptures as the true rule of faith, he translated portions of them into the language of the common people, and as the light from their pages shone more and more clearly upon his mind, he east off one after another the false doctrines with which Rome had overiaid the gorpel, and D at length preachcd it in its simplicity, puri-ty and power. Luther and Zuingle when tl ey reached the point where their funda-menul views came in contact with their in-fant baptism, hesiuted and halted. It was too bold a stroke to lay the aie at an insti-tution of religion which connected itself with the whole framework of society, which made the church and the State co-exten-sive and united, and which, in ages of darkness and. superstition, had become a household bond between earth nnd heaven.

BISHOP Hoase.—After having compo-sed and delivered a sermon, says this pi-ous prelate. I have often thought of, and repeated, the following lines of Thompson:

-Be gracioof. Hsaven; for now laborion. man Han clone l ii. part. Te foitering brecsea, blo»! Ve anfteniug dew., ye tender »bow«™, descend: And temper all, thou world-reviTing aun, Imo tie pcrfect yearl"

iSLmiU).

"Are yon all united in the church at ?" "Yes," was the reply, we are

all frozen together." This answer defines the position and circumstances of too many churches-

Good men are more solicitous and desi-rous to know the duty that is to be done by them, than to know the events that shall be concerning them; for duty is ours, events are God's.

Sarruxo Accocars.—A .gentleman in-troducing an impenitent friend to a minis-ter, remarked, "1 am sony he never at-tend* pubh'c worship." j ' l -nm almost tempted to hope,** replied the minister, "thatywilire "far ing false witness" against your neighbor? By no means," said theinfideJ, " k i I always spend my Sun-day in setUing accounts.": The minister immediately xeplied. "Yon will find, sir, that the day of judgment will be spent in the same manner."

They floundered awhile amid the dif ficulties in which they found themselves, but in the end held fast to the ancient cer-emony, and fixed it firmfy in the rising faith. Not so Hubmeyer. Planting him-self on the sufficiency of the Scriptures, he would restore the church to its primitive form, as set forth in those Scriptures.— "Write to me again," said he to his early friend, but afterwards bitter foe, Zuingle. "write tome again, for God's sake, on bap-tism." Perhaps having once himself doubted concerning infant-baptism, Zuin-gle could remove the doubU of his broth-er. But no. _Hubmeyer could see but one course clear. Truth and safety required a complete reformation, which was to be found in churches of regenerated persons, baptized on profession of Aeir fciith. Hub-meyer was a Baptist, and with that wide-spread, though then and still misrepresent-ed party in-the Reformation, he cast his lot,becoming one of their most illustrious gd-vocates, and one of Ihe most honorable in the innumerable company of their martyrs. It should be added that his views of the Lord's Supper were as c W ' a n d weH-grounded as his views of baptian. At the outset of his career as a reformer, while as yet he was a priest of Rome, he read the mass b the language of the people. Next he celebrated it under both the forms of bread and wine. Then he denied the bod-ily presence of Christ in it. Later still, "it was no siwrifice, but a solemn memorial of ChristU death-" It was a- institution ap-poinfed by Christ U> strengthen the faith of the believmg. Here, as in the case of bap-tbm. he advanced beyond the leaders of theHeformatioo- Lnther had scarcely es-c a p ^ ^ e omfines of Popery, and Zuingle had not attained to the e lear%ht of Hnb-liieyer.

From the Christian Adveeate aad • Universalism IdcntiM with,]

There are many who thinlc I as taught in America, to be and some who seem to think it I dification of Christianity. But, this, it is presumed to hi^ identical 1

, specious system called Deism, lowing reasons :

I. American DniverEalism ; thing in theory to which the not consistently subscribe.

The fourth class of Deists, acc Dr. Samuel Clarke, are -"Buch the existence of God, his provid the obligations of natural religion, far only as these things are discove the light of nature without any 1 relation." Kow that which makes j tianity differ from this is. first, triiic of the Trinity. This Unive jecU: see Universaliit Expositor, pages 135, 137; Modem fcstoiy 0 versalism, p. 432. Another point 1 ference ia the proper Deity of the vicariousaess cf his death. I h verbalism rejects. In addition I testimony, see Ballou "On the Alone p. 122.' also7"Hagapnc and Advo vii. g: 279; UnivarssliBm 127 ; and EipositiDn of Unive 43, 44. Other dttoguishing pr are these, viz : d o c t r i n e of, birth ; t h « God answers ptsyer ; vine oWigatoriness of the Sabbath,-1 ordinances of Christianity. These • rejected. Some of them may be va form, but they are merely matters with this syEtcm. There'is i obl^atary in them.

H. A second reason ror aii« Uc •Ihe indirect avowal of its o-wn i

Mr. J. D. WiUiamson. in their position in reliaBnce to the faidi. says, "'There is a difference 1 us as high as heaven, and wide as 1 a difference as hopelessly and ul conalahle as light and dvkness. 11 most said, throngh iu whole le breadth." In t i e Magaihie and Aiv voL iii., p. 349, it is said, •• Our opposed to the faith of the reLgious in every material part. These . it is thought, accord WiUi the pression of the authorized teacLirs 1 s,vstem. The testimony of Rev. Smith, formerly an advocate of th tem, might be added, whose candor 1 veracity are above suspicjon, but thisj haps is sufficifinL

IIL This identity is inferred, /row ths tame mode of argvmatiat adopud w iu svpport and defence. Bible ia generally refeixed to ; but . plain to be observed, tiiat whatever it 1

must be tried by reason. I t fords a liule more room fijr tiie play i fonal induction. If any thing is zny nous or incomprehensible, it is »»»y as unreasonable. Hence the the cardinal doctrines of tije New aent-with this system, such as the L.
