In order for a man to redeem bimticif hu must do''~6omctbing' worthy of merit. He mnst merit restoration before he «an be restor^. In other words he mast become worthy of restoration before that biMtiogcanbe bestowed by bis own merit.

Bnt alaa there is no finite creature in tho aniTUie who can merit anything. Adam in Kdan, the saints and tbe angelj in haaven, can marit nothing, bow then can a lost sinner merit •nything? Tbe saints and angels aro nnder moral obUgaUou to lore the Lord their God with all thair hearts, mind and strength,how tb)n can they d* work* of aupererogation aud so merit heaven 7 In order for a finite being to merit anything of the loilnlte he mast do more than his moral obHga-tioa reqnirea him to do, as he must love tho Lord hia God with more than all his heart, mind and •treagth, whieh is Impossible in tho nature of thiBga. There Is only OMB Iraing in the nniverae who ean merit anything, and that is the Divine Betof, aabatitnted In the sinner'd place. All ob-JeeUonatOBneh snbatitution vanish if it have the thr«e following oondliiona

1. That the person bearing the punishnont of oChera do It by his own consent.

S. That he have tbe absolute right thus to dis poee of htnaaif.

t . And that the ends of governmont be as eflbetaaily answered a« if tho criminal himself bad anflered.

Tor 1. Sappose full cpn^ieiit on the part of the anbatltate and the person sufFjriDg can receive no wrong.

S. Bnppoae be have full power and right to con^ Mat and no other person recaivos wrong.

3. Sappoae the ends of government met and tbe pablle reoalves no wrong. Tha Uodnian boro all theae marks^ and fulfilled all thene conditions.

1. He came and luffered by his own cotisenL 1. He had » right thus to come and suffer. 8. f h e enda of panishment were fully met, yea,

fhr more ao than the eternal suffering of tho whole hnman race. Hence no injustiee was done to tho penon aaArlng nor to any othor person, nor io Uod'a moral gOTernment. The Oodman was tbe onljr being In the nniverae who could foifill ail IIMN oondltlons, and henoe tlie only being who oo«ld merit anything, and tbua become a re* deemer. '

Man In order to become a redeemer for himself mail d* whlit he l i onder no moral/ «biigation 'to do; in other words hn mast fulfill ail his moral obllgatlont toOod and man and then If ho has any time or UlenU left which he does not owe to Qod or man he may do works of marit and thns .be able to redeem himself. Bdt ala« man owes ten thont-•nd talents and ha« nothing to pay. In other words be !i tfn thousand taienta worse off than nothing, and aiaoo the Interest is aoorulug ten t i m e falter than ho can pay It, how U ha ever gO' lag Io eonoel tho debt? Dnt tho ease is stilt more hopeleae in the realm of morals. He haa a two-fUd obllgatloD, running net only through time bat iato tUraltf, neither of whioli olalma la hf In

M d i f n a aM* to maat.

1. lie is under moral obligation to iovo ttie Lord his God with all bis heart aud mind and strenKth. He h u never fulfilled this obiigUion for one moment in ills ii''o, and if be dins Impenitent he will never have the disiwsition to discharge that obligation to all eternity. How tben can ho merit any th imrov r aud abc.vo bis obligation when he cannot DO much as l)cgln to meet bis obligation? How is tho sinner ever to ro'loeiii himseir when bo never has either the' po vor or the dispoaition 7

% But tho loat nlni-cr has ancther obligation which he can never di»ch»rgo. He Is guli'y of not discharging his moral obligatious to God for all tlmopa'it. Guilt is pereoaal demerit and obliga-tion to Huifdr for it. But alas sulForing has no tendency to lessen guilt, hence it has no teudoncy to lessen personal demerit nor tho obligaiion to saffer for it. Ho will aiwa>;s lie guilty of willful ly refusing in this life to discharge his moral obligs.tlons to God; vsddcr still, be will always be guilty of rejecting the only Being who could have reJcomcd hltn from that sin. So he is now under a new oHUgfttiou to sufTar on account of his guilt and ai long as he is gulty. Since he will l>o guilty forever he muat suffer forever, HIIIOO sutl'iriug has NO toudency to destroy guilt. In other wordn puni*<hn)cnt is not redemptive. It repairs neither of thcao twofold obligations. It does pot restore to God tbe love and service with all tlie heart that he rightfully demands in this life; it does not lessen his personal demerit and t'le obligation to sutler for it in the next world. Hence penal suffdring is not re-demptive since it can neither repair the past, nor remedy the present, nor insure tho future. Tbe lost soul is under the same moral obligation io iovo and serve G^d tha^ ho ever wai, and be is also nnder a new obligation to saffer BO long av he is guilty. He is under Just as much obligUioti to suffer tbe penalty of violated law ai ho was and is to keep the law of God.

But how is sufferin?, unJ i r these conditions, over to become redemptive 7 And if not redeemed how can ho ever be restored 7 or how can soffering and restoration become the sinner's portion?

Wo repeat, there is not a saint on earth nor angel in heaven that can redeem-himself or another, airoply because he cannot m<;rit anything: " None can by any means redeem bis brother, nor give to God a'ransom for bini; for tbe redemption of tbe soul is precious." Ps. xlix. 78.

The God-man did what he was under no obfi-gation to do, hence ho merited something, and he conid redeem. No other man could redpem a sin-ner even though he might freely offer himself, since he too is a sinner, and needs redemption. He can no more redeem another than he can redeem himself. An archangel cannot redeem a sinner, for though he might bo willing, and so answer the first condition of a perfect sacrifice, lie would have no right thus to diwpose of himself, and therefore fail In the sccond condition. And if ho had tbe right ho has not tho power to meet tbe ends of moral government, and so be would fall In the third condition.

Christ fulfilled all tueso conditions in a manner uniquo aud remarkable. *

1. Ho was willing to suffer in Ute sinner's stead. Tbe infinite was willing to suffer for a ilmiied lime that tho finite might not suffer an anllmiteA time.

2. Ho had the absointo right to enter npon this work if he chose. The Seoond Person in the God head was under no more obligation to tho First than tho First to tho Second, since they were one Since then ho owed his life to none but himself, being aelf-exlstent, ho had tbe absolute right to aae that life for whom he pleased. The law re-quired only l^nman obedience. He gave It divine obedience, and so magnified the law, and made It honorable. Thus he meets the second condition with tho right to dispose of himself as he chose.

8. Tbe way In whleh he luifliied the third con-dition la equally unique and striking. Owing hIa life and senrlces to none oiso but himself their full value could be given to the sinner If he to L^lfSMd, ID OTBAR F»»rda, BLI INFLIILTF marit ooul(L

THE B A P T I S T . 8 be placed to tlie crwlit of GtMrn moral governmtnt

and so fiio ends of Jusiioo he fully satii'fltid. ' We have dwelt at icitgib utioit this point In order

to show that creature merit Is ai>so<utely imiw*. siblo either as a subjrct of moral law in the ant of obodieuce or as a victim of vioiatml law in ih^ act of 8ulll»ring.

There is nofbinK redemptive in human oiwiliencfl or human suli'oring hero or horeafipi', tnd heuce there can be no rotoratlon on account of ohc<lieHce or suffuriiig There is disposition in both raint ami sinner to Ipgallstu (If they do well to merit Ood't favor), wl»eroa^'».i« of the highest impirtanrc to undcratand that no creatrd being in tho univcrso can merit anything of God unlws it Ije siitl'jrlnn for sin. If neither saints nor ansels in hravtn can merit anything cither for themselves or for otheri iion can the sinner in h*-ll merit anything except what ho thoro suffers? We may merit of one au-other where wo fulfill the ti^rre conditioni nanicii above. For example, a man is drafud into tho army. A friend may act as a subBtitute —

1. If ho do it voluntarily. 2. If he have tho right thus to dispose of him-

self. .1. If the ends of governmont arc met (<|ually

well by such subslltution. But in God's moral government no crcaturc can

redeem a sinner. 1. He could not do it valuntarily, for he is a

rebel against God's moral government. 2. He has no right thus to dispose of hiuiaelf. 3. The ends of government would not thus ixt

answered. I t is thus impossible for the sinner to lay Qod

under tbe least possiblfl obliKation to him on the ground of merit, whether in obeying the precept of tbe law or suffering tbe penalty of the law, aud hence suffering is not redemptive. If man can merit salvation may bo partly of debt, and it can be earned as wages; but if man oannot merit sal-vation it must bo of grace, and received as a^gift. Once demonstrate, on first principles, tho liupoasi-bility of ireature merit and you have equally proved that there Is nothing redemptive either in faith or works or the penal inflictions of law. We possess nothing which wo have not already re-ceived of God, and hence we can offer him nothintr which is strictly our own. We ourrelves beioug to God; and so we cannot give him our service or our suffering, since they are his by divine right. We can profit God nothing.

A meritorious act is one which dnty does not re-quire us to perform. If angels or men have time or talents that do not belong to God they may mer|t something of God. Tho whole question of creature merit is one of outrnnnlng duty. Is it possibio for a saint to uo more than it is his duty to do? or for a sinner to sufler more thsn it in his dutv to suffsr ? Luke xvii. 10.

Probably no angel or saint in heaven will ever think of meriting anything. It Is for tho sinner, lost and ruined, to indulge that conceit. Saints and angels come not short of duty, and therefore deserve neither reward nor penalty. But man onmes Infinitely short of duty, and thus merits in-fiiiite penalty. How then can bo merit restoration so long as ho will forever merit condemnation? When a man repents he does not merit pardon-there Is no virtue In repentance ta procuro forgive-ness, fbr no man repented of himsoif. There Is no merit In faith, for that Is a gift of God. There is no merit In works, for who gives man tho po^er of service. There is no merit In suffering, for man Is under moral obligation to suffer, If suffering and restoration are to be tbe lot of the sinner, suffi-rlng most merit restoration, which Is impoi* slble, ainoe no creature, archangel or devil, saint or sinner, can merit anything.

4. Punishment la not restorative. IfsuflRirlDg Is not reformatlvo, nor regenerative

nor redemptive, mnoh lasa cau It bo restorative. Theodore Parker once said: "The vou of tin

ar« it» anttdoU, SufftHng eomt$ftorn wrong do-ingai v>tll-b*ingft«tnvirtut J/th9i'» te st{ffer' ing in tho ntxt worlft, UitMin ihu,but lh« m4di-fiifUf qf /h0 ikk ly mmW RMMV aia ^ laaat tW9

Wiiilo It is true saints were mado belter by sufler-i n j f , in form of <ll«clpitii«i, or ch»ili43 nmt . It do-ni iiot'follow that sulleriug SH punish'neut producos the fame resolts upon tho imtHsuitenl Dinner. Again, while the wocsof el!i aro felt by both saint and HUinGr iu thU world, it doea u >t follow that the wocH of ••In aro its nuttdoto iu either case. Borne men siiHur the wooa of Hln all thnugh life, aud be-conio worst) aud worse. Thoro U n i oaieon record whoru the w»08 uf Hiu aro its own antidote. As well sav, sufPjriug if the antidote of di8ea'«e, pain (lie anlidolo of poison, distress the antidote of hunger. But guppoRO tho woes of HIII aiD its anti-dote, what lias that to do with salvation or rostor-. atlon?

The torma of our propoflitiou aro that punish-nirnt in not restorative.

The ninnlercr forfeits his life upon tho gallows; (lock that restore tho life of the unfortunate victim ? l):;og it restore the moral standing of the murderer? One man may rob another, and restore fourfold, but <loe8 that fact restore to him his neighbor'a contldeiicc, or God's favor? Adam sufler&l the woos f f sin for nearly one thousand years, but did that restore paradise lost? Pharaoh suffered the woes of sin in tho Red soa, did that restore him his ecep're and throne?

Tho wocB of sin are not its antidote in this world nor in (ho world t i oomo. SuppoBo a person suffer in tlMs fotur« ft i to one thousand years, does that restore his Innocence? If suffering is neither re-formative, nor regenative, nor redemptive here nor hercaMcr, how can it bo restorative? Suffering and restoration aro thus impossible in the nature ol thingf. ^uff^-ring has no tendency to restore holinei«<) or happiness.

To those who liold the modified Universaiist d o c t r i n e o f Hullcrlng and rostoration wo desire to aolc a quettion. Why "suffering and restoration"? Why not resfointion without suffering, according to the fxtrcme Uniicrsjilist doctrine ?

The only reason must be, "bscauxe men are more or less guilty, and therefore they ought to suffer." If men ought to suffer becuxu* they are guilty,they ought to sutlor as long as they a e guilty. So long as the cause remains must tho fffdct eridure. Now, since sutlering has no tendency to lossen guilt, be must suller forever, and honcosuirering and res'or-ation are impossible from the very nature of sutfjr-ing and giiilt.

A KNCOUKAGEMENT.

PASTOll once said, " I have preache«l hero seven years aud never liad a word of encour-

agement." Poor man I bow he c o u l d labor and never have a word of onconragement.ls a question hard to answer. All people need encouragement, to keep them In heart and make them active. But the pastor who watches arid cares for souls as one that must giv e an account, above all others, needs encouragement. His labors aro arduous, bis toils great, bis trials many, and, added to them, an un appreciitive people, no wonder many are ready to despond. Yet people aro afraid to compliment a pastor's sermon to his face. Others aro afraid to speak iu praise of bim for fear they will lose blm. Again, others will wait till after the pastor has moved to some other field, then they are ready to say every good thing about him, when bo had left them, because be had received no encouragement

A pantor for two months bad been In trouble and bad Just about decided to leave his church be eause he had received no encouragement, and of course, bo felt be wan not appreciated, when a committee waited on him with a subsUntlal ex pression of the church's appreclaUon. The result was, It Iniusod new life In the pastor, and he re-mained and M many to Chris t

"\A committee has waited on me and told mo to take a month's vacailon, or ordered ma to go to UM ISooUMn BapUat OonreoUoo,or itataCkwYfii*

l i O R , " are notices we may read Just oecaalonaliy. Few ohurches ever think of encouraging a hard worke<l p,«stor I n ^ i a way, and yet It Is tho thing ho nueds, and tbe churches would be the gainer.

A pastor may need a new suit of clothe*, or an overcoat, or a lot of book», or some other item, and he may be able to buy them, but often It would encourage bim and make him know he was appre-ciated, for bis church to mako bim a present of Ihom. He would preaeh much better, that his church would receive fourfold, and instead of his wishing to leave bis people, be would desire to stay.

A pastor said to mo, " 1 wish I had left here." Why ? Because ho had so much to discourage, and 80 little to encourago him. Soon our papers will, be filled with changes in pastors, etc. There will be several reasons for this, but the main reason will bo, not encouraged.

A good people mako a good pastor, and ail the churches desire, or should desiro a good pastor.

The way to have and' ke«p a good pastor is to encourage him. UKNO.

BRO. GRAVBS :—Your letter came duly to hand, accept my thanks for same. I have all sorts

of things to meet here. I think that the BapUsU of this State are the most inconsistent set of people in the United SUtcs. I will name some of the things that they do. First, there is a Methodist {.reacber that is going the "rounds," preaching on baptism, and says some hard t h i n g s about Baptists, and our ablest men meet him at his appointmento, and sit with him In the pulpit, and close tbe exer-cises for him, and yet n e v e r s a y a word about what the TesUment says about baptism.

I have asked several about the communion question, and all of them say it Is a church ordi-nance. and that of right it belongs to the church, and to the church only. Yet they never say any-thing about It in the pulpit Thoy not only receive Campbellite baptism, but Methodist baptism, too Tbe TroutvUle church received a Methodist on her baptism, and some one asked me what I would do as pastor of a c h u r c h , If she should get a letter from her church and apply to mine for member-ship on her letter. I answered that, I would ad-vise the church to reject tho appiloatlon, and If I had a vots, would voti against l^ I could not do o t h e r w i s e with an open Bible Insfore me. Paul said one baptUin. and if that Methodist baptism was right, ours is wrong.

Now the above Is only a hint of matters and things here, and will explain in part why I have failed to obtain more subscribers to Tuk BAmsT. I am called a Gravesitc, ctc, Weil, I would rather bo a double Gravesite and bo right than to bo a popnlarite and bo wrong. S.> m v i y ways are not all r ight I appreciate the Old Banner for its fesr-le«s advosacy of the trut'i.

of admission or of dl«cipiiiic to the oxtoiit which some others have. Ho indicator this diliercncr when ho says, " I t is one thinff to overleap all boundaries of .denominational rcstrictijm for the truth's sake. , . . It is quite anotlier p<dic)'wliicli would'urge us to Hul)ordinate the inainteiianco of truth to donominatlonBipro«i)erity and comity.. . For our part wo have put on a lew fresh bolts to our door; and wo havb given orderH to keep the chain up: for, under color of begging the friend-ship of tho servant, there are thoio about who aim at robbing tho Master. . . It might be poHitible to make an informal alllancu among all wlio hold the Christianity of their fathers. Little they might be able to do they could at least proto<«t, and, as fkr MToasible, free themselves of that complicity which wUi be involved In a conspiracy ot tilenco. It, for awliile, the ovangolicaU are doomed to go down lei them die lighting, and in thuVfull as-anrance that their ge«pel will havo a rcsiirrcction when thff InTentious of modern thought shall be burned up with lire unquenchable."

Mr. Spurgeon's description of the present state of Diueutors from the Church of i'^ngland applies more especially to tho independents, but thore arc some Baptists to whom it is in part applicable also. He says: " No lover of the gospel can con-ceal from himself the fact that the days are evil. . . . . Read those newsuapors \v1llch represent tho broad school of Dissent, and lisk yourself, How maeh farther will they go? What doctrino re-mains to be abandoned? AVhat other truth to be tke abject of contempt? A new roligion has been Initiated, which is no nioro Christianity than chalk la cheese; and this religion, being destitute of moral honesty, palms itself off as the old faith with •light improvements, and on this plea usurps pul-pits which wore crccted for gospel preaching. The atonement la scouted. The Inspiration of Scrip-ture is derided. The Holy l^plrit Is degraded into an Influence. Tho puuishment of sin Is turned Into flotion and tho resurrection into a myth. And yet these enemies of our faith expect us to call them brethren, and malntoln a confederacy with them. At tho back of doctrinal falsehood comos a natural decline of spiritual life, evidenced by a taate for quistlonable amusements and a wcari nesa of devotional meotings. At a certain moot-ing of ministers and church olllcors ono after an. other doubted tho value of prayor-meotlugs. Ail eonfaised that they had a very small attendance, and several acknowlodgod, without tho slightest eomponction, that thoy had quite givoii thom up." '^Tlme was when a Monconformist minister who was ICiown to attend the play-houso would soon have found himsolf witliont n church, and Justly BO; for no man can long possess tho oonfldcnce, oven of tho most worldly, who is knoAvn to bo n haunter of theaters. Yet at tho present time It is matter of notoriety that praaiihors of no mean ro> puto defend tho play>honso, and do so bocauso they have boon aoon thoro." "Too many miuistors are toying with the deadly oobra of anotiior gos-pel In the (brm of modem thooght As a conio-queneo their oonRTogatlons are thinning. Tho more tplritnal of their ihcmbors Join tho llrothren or tomo^ other eoitopany of bollovors iinattaohed. . . . BoflaQ Qlt ubqueitionable devoutnesdgo off to ttit ObtiNlt'lvf &i«l«iid. ML<it u i not hide flrom

ourHolvus tho fact that the Kplficopal church is liwake, and Is full of teal and force. . . We cannot but percMvo that she grows, and grows, among other reosons, bocauso spiritual life is waning among certain Dissenters, WhoPo tho gospel Is fully and powerftilly preached, with the Holy tirhost sent down from heaven, our churches not only hold thoir own but win converts; . . . but when the gospel Is ooncoaled, and tho life of prayer In slighted, tho wholo thing bocouics a meru form and tiction. For this thing our heart is Hore grieved."

"Certain mlnlstorBafo making inlldels. Avowed Atheists are not a tenth as dangerous as thosu prenchers who scatter doubt and t<tab at faitli. A plain man told us tho other day that two ministers had derided hitii because ho thought wo should pray for rain A grncloim woman bemoaned In my presence that n prccious promise in Uaiah, which had con»fortc<l her, had been declared by her minister to be uuinpirod It la common to hear working men excuse tbeir wlckoduess by the statement that there is no' hell, the parson Hays fio. . . . Attendance at places of worship is lecliuinii, reverence for lioly things Is vanishing, and wo fiolemniy believe this to bo largely attribu-table to the skepticism wbicli has lla«hod,from the pulpit apd fpread among tho people ilavo ihese advanced thinkers lllleil their own chapels? Have thoy, after all, prospered through discarding the old methods? PoKsibly in n few cases genius and tact have carried these gentry over tho de-structive result s of their ministry, but in many cases their pfetty new theology has scattered their congregations. In meeting-houses holding a thousand or twelve hundred or tiftccn hundred, places once packed to the ceiling with ardent hcorors, how small are tlie numbers now! We could mention instances, but wo forbear. The places which the gospel tilled the new nonsense has emptied, and will keep empty. This fact will havo little lutluenco with the cultured; for, as a rule, they have cultivated a tine development of conceit. 'Yes, 'said ono whose pews held only hero and there a worshiper, 'It will always bo found that in proportion as the preacher's mind enlarges his congres^ation diminishes.'. . . . The alienation ot the poor and simpie-mluded from their ministry they accept as a compliment; and the grief of the spiritually-minded Uiey regard as an evidence of thoir power. Truly unless the Lord had kept his own wo should long befoi-o this have seen our Zion plowed as a tlold."

"A Uttjo plain speaking would do a world of good just now. These gentlemen detflro to bo lot alone. They want no noise raised. Of course Ihieves hate watch-dogs, and love darkness. It Is tlmo that somebody should spring his rattle, and call attention to the way in which God is being robbed of his glory and man of his hopo."

This ttppAllIng state of things among those who in tlmo past wore among tho best friends of di-vine truth Is precisely whot was antlclpatod by those Avho, half a century sluce, opposed that sys-tem of tradition which Is called froo communion, tho object of which was and is to free tho churches from Iho laws of nicniberihlp and discipllno insti* tuted by Chriit, on the faUo protonso that by vio> lating tho htter of divino laws wo bettor obseivo their spirit. UUIOBS there bo a return U) more Scriptural momborshlp and disci plino nothing will stay this flood of I n i q u i t y T o protest merely will bo in vain. '

ARE THE BAPTISTS A PECULIAR PEO-PLE? IF SO IN WHAT?

THE reason why Baptist put so muck stress on tbo oxprosdlon, " PocuKar People," Is that It is

written in Ood's word that the Lord's people arc a peculiar people. In Titus 11. 4, wo read spoaking of Christ," Who gave himsolf for us, that ho might piirlfy unto hlmioK a poouHar pe-iplo, sialoui of good works." And in 1 Pot. II. 9, wo road, " Ye are a OIIOBOU generation, a royal prioithood, an holy nation, a pcoullar people, that yo ahould show foith the pralso of hlu)| who hath called you out of darknesi into bit marveloui light." From tbeto and other piwagea they oonototjs the fp«dal

follower* of tho r.iortl are a, iioculUr people, »na therefore they wa»'t to know whelhor or not tboy are that people. Now tho special nioanlug hi peculiar 1» having manmrs, w(iy»>or tOachltiKi belonging to ones self, or a<l an organlted bmly of people, t > thoniaoWos.

That tho Ihptlsl*, as a psopio, havo ways mil toaohlnsa diir;roht from all other people, U a ^ tlon that needs no dlsom^loii. It U a I act acktioff. lodged by all, that thoy arc » sop*rato and dlit iuct people, »o tho question should not be, arn tho B*p. tlsts a peculiar people, but aro they tho pociiliir people, that U thft pconlo raferriHi t<» in the venie quoletl. This can onlv Iw dncidod by consliPirlnif their peculiaritloi, and at tho same tiiiio coniptr* lug thoso jMJcidiar features with the word of Uod. ((•or though wc are as dllfriront from other iHJopla Md»y from nl!»ht, it will protU us nofhlnu, if those express dliroroncos are not tho t xict I'jMh-ingi of God's word. Now to our pec iliarilie«. We are a peculiar pooph, first, in (hat our history runs back into the rennt*) dopths of a<ill(|ulty. lllstorlan« havo searched to And oip- orig i), mid after a dilis{flt)t sosrch all that our op>iO'iioi'<) rid say is, that tho origin it hid in tho depth-* of tho dark ages.- And tij,!s is a very CBsouti:it pecnllirHjr, brtthron, beciU'SO wc lc*rn in Uovolaiion arnd iu Daniel, that tho wonun, which was Iho church, flod Into tho wlldornoss whib'i tu mns obsciiilty, where sho had a place pniparj.l f )r hor for a limo times and half a time. So our pcculiarily in limtig hid iu the romotn depths of antiquity, proves in to bo the very pflopio spokoii of iu Uovtlttioii aurl Daniel. Second, wo ara p3culiar iu thi no ni in CSD be found, who cvan cUim4 to ba our foiindor or head. Every rl'jer denomination, has itx hfitil man, but ono for us cannot be fouud. Third, Wo are a peculiar peopU lt» our cl»im«, that is, that wo originated with John and CirUt. no tthor people o'alm that. True iho Catholics not only cUim that they run back that far, but mtko Peter their ^rcil bead. And In this particuUr wo are wond erfully peculiar, because all our cnomlos comblucd cai't prove our claim to bn laico. Fourth, we are peculiar In that wo aro tho only poop'o wh ) luvo been hoavily persecutod, and yut havo never persecuted in return. Trio»h>ro were couic in Qermany who claim the name Anabf-ptisls, who stlrrod np a rohelliou, but houost historians do not class thom with tbo 8ubmi-4i»iv«, p ri^cn oil Baptists. Tho BaptUts in ovory ag4 hKVj boon opposed to comblulng tho church with thfl S'.ato or persecuting mon for roligioui belief, ai vlulalurK of tho governmontal laws. I would havo you notice specially thU peculitrltir brothru i, for it Ij the way they did In tho biginning Pnul wrote, being porscoutoi) wo sutler it. Paul boheaJod, Peter orucifled, Stephen stonod am' J jhn banialiod but never did they ev«u try t i roturn tb > porsocu-lion, but on the contrary said thof rsJ >iooJ tlut they were worthy to sutTiir for Christ. If I wero oalled upon to five my strongoit reason for tlis Baptlsta being Ood'i peculiar poopio outside of their special teaching!, I would way, ' Beiug rc-vllod, thoy blest, boing persoculod, thoy sutler it. I0o r . lv . 151.

Fifth, Thay are peculiar in that, even in poraecn-tlon Ihoy have exaoUy obeyed tbelr Savior. Ho said *Mf they perseouto In this city fl io yo to an-other," and thus they dld,aud not only from olty to city, but from oily to country, and from oouutr/ t? oavo.

Now to some of their peculiar teacblugs. 1. Tlipy aro tho only poople oxoapling tho Ilardihnll U:M>' tlata, that boiiere they ara saved alono by gra'V) through faith, and that not of thomselvoi hnt the gUt of Uod. Now my old sohool, Pi-osbytorlan brethren may think I am saying too muoh just hero, but I think not, for In Ihoir confession of fallb, page 15, on baptism wo flud tliU: The efllaacy ot biptlam Is uot ll «d to the monunt of lime whoroln Itls admiuhtorod,yol notwlthstand* ing, by the right usaof this ordIuai.o9, tho graoo proinlaed 1« not only oflVsrod, but roklly oxhibltod and oonferrod by the Holy Qhoat, ty auoh (whether of age or Infanta) aa that grioa bolongnth unto Boooirdlog to tbs eonnaal ofQod'a own wUli bli

appointed time.*' Now If In thla Infants were not Included, hut bellevflra only, I would say Ihey mean that the grace eonflsrrod la the pleaanre given as a reward for obadlenco, but, aincb infanta can havo no anoh phasnre, It must mean aome-thiog more. Thoreforo I conclndo that we are tho ouly people, who beliovo lhat we are' aavad by grace a'one, which Is tho exact toftohing of God's woril, and who believe that wo should w rk, not inonJertobosavvd, but from a aenso of love, duty snd gratitude, lecauso wo aro saved by giraee. The fccoiid peculiarity of tho Baptists In their tciohlMgs, that thoy aro tho only people who kaep the ordinances in tho exact ordor delivered by Christ. All others will administer baptiam before regeneration, (except Quakers who don't baptljse atnll) but Bttpfists will not knowingly do thh, and in this tiioy exactly obey Christ and tho .tpoiitlo?, snd John tho Baptiit, for they all pal ro-IM)rt,u!ce and lalth before baptism. John ooni-luai.ded tho people to bring forth fruits meet for repcntanco, and bellevo on him who was to oorae. Chrifit said ho that bdievoth and is baptized shall 1)0 saved. Philip said to the'ounneli, " i f thou bclicvnst with all thy heart thou mayast ba bap-tized," ami ho answered, " I beliovo lhat Joans Chrlgtla tho Son of GwV Pstfjr aommandod the J . n'!e to rapont and be bapt-S'id. Panl rehaarsod tho toiching of .fohn. All of thum plaaod repent ance, which is laeeparably connected with faith, before bspti»m. The same also may be said of conimuniou.

Third and last, they aro specially pocullar, In that they Iwllevo In taking tho word of Gad as teaching plainly, all and overything, God would liavo his wople do, and (ho precise order and way ill wtich ho would have It done, aud that thoy havo no right to change neither tho order nor ttio manner of observing the ordinances, nor subgtltuto an) thing in their stead. And in this brethren we can coriainly provo ourselves to be He peculiar people of (}od, for it is written, " If a ma-i love mc hi will ko 'p mi/ words." TIma would not porm (, nic, brrthren, o mention other pecullarltibs, but I ku.iw thnso mentioned, show thn lU^jti^H to bo « pcculisp pcoi)lc, and I think the pocniiar people.

Recently, a young man brought up in tho Epis-copal church and sprinkled In hU infancy, was led. sftor sindy of the Bible, to desire Scriptural bap-tiera by immersion upon profession of his IntsUltf-rnt faitU in Christ tto applied for admission to a Bjpllst church in this city. When this step on his p«rt was known, ho r< celved from his former clerKyman. of whoso church his parents wore members, a nolo of which the following is a literal oopy omitting namea and dates: "Whatever yonr future may be, 1 beg o» yon in God's name not to wmmit the awful «ln of being ro-bitptlz9,l. You have recel»o.1 God'n grace once, and have once twi. mule his child; but by doing this you will Ml that grece at naught, and will b j doing somo-hinjf directly sgalnst his will and word."-JV^a.

h>mnl B i i p t i s t .

There uru sovoral particulars in which tho clergyman's letter is somewhat erroneous. 1. Tbo yo'nig man was not about to commit "an awful • u." 2. He was not about to commit any sin at sll. He was not proposing to bo re-baptlzed. 4. He had not received God's grace at tho time re-ferr^ to. 6. He had not been made God's chUd «t tko time referred to. 6 He was not about to «t God's graco at naught 7. He was n.U propos-ing te do anything against Q id's word. Seven miitakes.

raagizino of sixty yearn ago, wo found a review of two books on tho subject of baptism, one by a Pcdodaptl^t minister, the other a reply oy a Baptist fanner. The r«-vlewer was gla-l that tho minister had wriaeu his book, for bo says; " W o never yet knew an ins^tanco of tho subject boing di-cussed whoa it did not torminate in the Increase of tho Baptists. The lato Mr. Samuel Lowell, of Bristol, a highly respectable minhter am jiinr tho PcdobaptUts, was wont to U80 when conversing with his brethren, a signlflr.ant expression In relation to this subject, via., 'Our strong fort Is slloaco.'" This recalled to ns a statoinout made by a Baptist pastor in one of our growing towns: " I hivo kept a rewrd of sermons on baptism by Padobapti ,t mhilgtor^ In the d'fi'oront churchoa slnoi I settled hore. They preached more than sixty before 1 preached wne. They did good work for us, since almost every sermon sent Inq-jlrors ton* and many of thom he-came Baptists.!' Perhaps Mr. Lawell had noticed tho same results In Bristol.— National B a p t i k t .
