Prophecies Concerning the Destruction of Jerutalcm. T h e c o m m o n w e a l t h o f Israel, from

its establ ishment to its dissnlutinn, sub-sisted for more than fifteen hundred years . In del ivering their l aw , Moses a s s u m e d more than the authority of a human legislator, and asserted that he w a s invested with a divine commiss ion; and in enjoining obedience to it, after having conducted them to the borders of Canaan, he promises many blessings to a c c o m p a n y their compl iance with the law, and denounces grievous judg-ments that would overtake them for the breach o f it. T h e history of the J e w s in each sncceed ing a g e attests the truth o f the last prophetic warning of the first of their rulers; but too length-ened a detail would be requisite for its elucidation. H a dictions applica!

ji ly, it contains pre-e to more recent

events which admit not of a n y ambig-uous interpretation, and refer to histor-ical facts that admit no cavi l . H e w h o founded theirgovernment foretold, notwithstanding the intervention of so m a n y a g e s , the manner of its over-throw. Whi l e they were wander ing in the wi lderness , without a c i ty and without a home, he threatened them with the destruction of their cit ies and the devastat ion of their country .— Whi l e they v i e w e d for the first t ime the land of Palest ine, and w h e n victo-rious and triumphant they were about to possess it, he represented the s cene o f aesoiation that it wonld exhibit to their vanquished and ens laved poster-ity on their last departure from it. Ere they themse lves had entered it as ene-mies , he describes those e n e m i e s by w h o m their descendants w e r e to be subjugated and d ispossessed , though they w e r e to arise from a very distant region, and although they did not ap-pear till after a mil lenary and a half o f y e a r s : — " T h e Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far—from the end o f the ear th—as swi f t as the ea-g le flieth—a nation w h o s e tongue thou shalt not understand—a nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favour to the young . And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle and the fruit o f th land until thou be destroyed, which a so shall not l eave thee either corn, w ine or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks o f thy sheep, until he have des -troyed thee; and they shall besiege thee in all thy gates , until thy high-fenced wal l s c o m e d o w n wherein ihouirustest throughout all thy land." [ D e u t . xxviii 49 , &c . ] E a c h particular of this pro-phecy , though it ,be only introductory to others, has met its full completion T h e remote situation o f the Romans , the rapidity of iheir march, the very e m b l e m of their arms, thejr unknown

' language and warl ike appearance, the indiscriminate cruel ly and unsparing pil lage which they exercised towards the persons and the property of the J e w s , could scarce ly have been repre-sented in more descript ive t e r m s . — Vespas ian , Adrian, and Jul ius Severus removed with part o f their armies from Britain to Pa l e s t ine ,—the extreme points o f the R o m a n world. T h e ea-g le w a s the standard of their armies, and the utmost activity and expedit ion w e r e d isp layed in the reduction o f J u -dea . T h e y were a nation o f fierce countenance ,—a race distinct from the e f i eminate Asiatic troops. A t G a d a -ra and G a m a l a , throughout many parts o f the R o m a n empire , and in repeated instnuces at Jerusa lem itself, the s laughter of the J e w s w a s indiscrimi-nate, without distinction o f age or sex . T h e inhabitants were ens laved and banished, al l their possess ions confis-ca ted , and the kingdom o f Israel, hum-bled at first into a province of the Ro-man empire , became at last the private proper tyo f the Emperor. Throughout all the land o f J u d e a e v e r y c i ty w a s l>esieged ahd taken, and theirhigh and fenced wa l l s were razed frtjm the foun-dation. But the prophet particulari-zes inc idents the most shocking to hu-manity , wh ich mark the utmost possi-ble extremity o f want and wretched-ness , the last act to which famine could prompt despair, and the last sul i jectof a prediction that could have been ut-tered by m a n : — " A n d thou shalt eat the fruit o f thine o w n body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters , m the s i ege and in the straitness wherewi th thine e n e m i e s shall distress thee; so

Although we most heartily welcome Mr.

Noel into our tanks, we give him no credit for

being convinced-if i l a error. God's truth

w h i c h carries i t s 'wn convicriiins and fastens

upon the candid and inquiring mind, was as ef-

fi;cnial twenty years ago as now, and he

ought to h a v e been con«nced long ago; if it

had not been for l i e fearfulness of which he

speaks, and whicit characterizes thousaniU of

of l i b subject, h i would doubtless much socn-

spect to baptism.

T H E T E N N E S S E E B A P T I S T . good feeling which moved him just before, and

perpetrates a miserable and contemptible at-

tack upon theBaptistchurch,—verily the legs

of the lame are not equal.

This man would feign make the people of

Texas believe that the priuciples of the Baptist

church in England are rapidly felling into mer-

ited infamy, and that the Baprists themselves

are ashamed to acknowledge that they even

believe in ieZwrer'* Baptiim—and that^per-

odzentTtre, a ccndidate for admission into any

one of those Baptist churches, should consci-

entionsly wirh to be baptized, he has to be

baptized as ttealthily as possible, in the dark-

ness of the night, "generally by twilighl," "for

fearof ofiending,"—tell it not in Gath, publish

it not in the streets of Askelon, "the sprinkled

members!!" "Whi le infant sprinkling is prac-

tised openly to gratify the Pedo-baptist mem-

bers, beliaer's Baptism, has to be administered

aimost secretly, for fear that the church wiU

be stigmatized as strict and bigotted." The

editor of the "Presbyterian" evidently belongs

til that class of men, who destitute of a manly

spiri% would under the garb of friendship and

good feeling, take every advantage and stab a

man in the dark if he could escape detection.

He virtually says to tbe good people of Tex-

as—you see Baptist principles are fast sink-

ing into disrepute, as the light of Cumberiand-

ism, sheds its light over the world, and dispels

the errors and superstitions of these folks cal-

led Baptists—come and join us, and save

yourselves the disgrace of a public believer's

baptism,—and ye shall find favour with us

and the people, for our doctrine is meat in-

deed, and our discipline is drink indeed.—and

ye shall find rest from the odium of a public

baptism—DISCREET imin this.'

W e do not kniiw how Cumberlandisni has

flourished in Texas, but we think it must be

quite green not to perceive that their editor

has been most egregiuashj htimbagged by this

writer inthe "Christian Witness." The de-

sign of the article evidently was to ridicule the

tollies and inconsistencies of Pedo-baptists—

but the editor of the "Texas Presbyterian,"

was credulous enough to believe that it was

levelled at the Baptists—as such he gave it a

place in his paper—and as such we have

thought proper to treat it. We suggest that

the "Texas Correspondent" of the S . W .

Baptist Chronicle, writes a few articles for the

Texas Presbyterian." on the evils of religious

controversy, as "nothing would more certainly

and speedily insure the unpopularity of a re-

ligions newspaper in Texas, than for its edi-

tor to stir up the bitter waters of controversy."

BRO. GRAVES:

I have just returned from the Gen eral Association of the Eastern Divis ion of our Stale. I suppose it will no be uninteresting to the readers of you valuable paper to give them an outlin nf matters and things in general. • left my home about the last of Septem bar,on Saturday and Sabbaih, the las' days of September, I preached to ihi Salem church. Franklin county; thi is a large, populous county, with no more tiian oue hundred and fifty mis-sionary Baptists, and not one onlainerl minister in the county; wh:U a Eeld foi

missionary to operate in. 1 passe(t Franklin, and cros.sed the mountain in-to Marion county, East Tenriesseee; nc clitirch nor minister in the county, but the most hostile in the Stale against the Sons. The next day I crossed the other mountain, into Hamilloti county, north side of Tennessee river; but one little willieriog church, one minister on that side of tbe river, he savs he is a mis-sionary, but is doing what he can to cripple the efforts of the General Asso-ciation, by persuading the churches U> withdraw from the DistrictAssociation, that corresponds wiih the General As-sociation. ] would say to the brethren, mark them that cause divisions among you.

I called that night at a bro. Hunter's and preached in the largest still house I believe I ever was in, and which ha.« been recently converted into a house ol worship. VV^hal a victory from darkness to light. I then passed ihT-ough Rhea county, preaching as 1 went, I called one night at a Mrthodist camp-meet-ing, in my old field of labor, I must preach furthwiih; I ilid so, and invited the anxious; about fifty came forward; twenty-three professed conviction that night. Dp to the time I left, about eighty had professed. I met my broth-er, C. Taliaferro, and J . Miller, at a little church called Bethel, in the up-per edge of Rhea county, I preached six limes in three days and nights, the result was happy, eight professed, eight joined, 1 immersed four before I left the next day; and at night I preached to Prospect churuh, Roane county, where they had just closed a very in-teresting meeting; about fifteen made a profession; about fifteen have been bap-tized by my brother, C. Taliaferro.—. Thursday I preached to the Sweet-water church, Monroe county, at night at bro. Fines, the ne.xt day, Friday. 1 reached the Association; there 1 found a large and spirited body of brethren. More delegates and funds sent up than almost ever before; anti fine reports from the Missionary. So upon the whole in houses and ineans, and men of East Tennesse, they are on rising ground; but much more can be done churches will loose the hands of her ministers; if they do not, these warm-hearted and devoted ministers will em-igrate westward, or their efforts must be cultivated. They got through their business Saturday evening, I left on Monday evening; they were still pro-tracting their meeting. I passed thro' Athens, Cannon county, to a meeting about seveamiles and preached that night toCastenaela ch'jrch;5everal have been added recently to that church by baptism. There have been several glorious revivals in E;ist Tennessee this year, that has never been reported to your paper. I am glad the brethren have rep)rted as much revival news recently as they have. I passed thro' a pan of Bradley county into Hamil-ton again, thence back to Salem church, there 1 preached, and baptized one convert into the fellowship of the Sa-lem church. I reached my home (.New Market) and found all well. Thank God for his parental care ovt r my fam-ily.

NU.MBER VI.

B B O . G R A V E S :

How frequently, it is said, by way of reproach to baptists that if we can-not comraune together upon earth, how can we commune together in hea-ven? I f by restricting the communion table to such only as have been bapti-zed, we were obscuring the prospects we entertain of communion at the table of ihe Lamb, with the church of the first born in Heaven, we think we should devise some method to evade the law, which compels us in honesty to pursue thfr course of our present choice. But harbor no fears that obe-dience on earth will abridge our hap-piness in Heaven. It, here, subjects us to tribulation and trial, but its fruits are the blessings of immortality. In the afflictions of the present moment, we catch a glimmer of that far more exceeding, and eternal weight of glory.

We do not commune, in our church relation, with many of our brethren on earth, and yet we suppose, that this in no manner incapacitates us for communion with them in Heaven.

1st. Because our refusal proceeds from no spirit which it would not be proper for a christian to entertain. O f course it is not of malignity, it is not of envy. It is not because we deem our-selves better than they, though they sometimes charge us with this spiritual Pharisaism. It is not that we wish to be eccentric, for who wishes, in mat-ters of consc ence, to seem to trifieonly to excite the curiosity or pleasure of the world.' It is only because we lis-ten with atit'nlive ear tn H im who calls us as the Great Shepherd, and because we believe, that no belter test of our diiciplineship can be given than obe-dience to Hisdtvine commands. It is our religion, whioli we brlieve, ihut creates thebarioindiscriminate church communion.

2d. Because commmiion in He:iven will partake of a different naliire from communion at the supper on enrlli There we have the symbol that points us to the Lamb slain for our sins, there we shall see Him face to face. Here faith is the medium of all our worship; ihere it shallbecome real and uncloud-ed vision. Here ii is the communion of the body and blood of the Saviour; there of his glorious person invested with a garment of living light. On earth when we partake of the symbols, we forget our brethren and think only of Christ. It IS not a chi Islian commu-nion. The Scripture no where repre-sents it such, and no where is it made a test of our affection for each other. Its design is simply to commemorate the death of the Saviour. It is to be ilone in remembrance of Him. Each parti-cipant of the emblems ol his broken body, and sheil blood, is alone respon-sible for the spirit by which he is aclua ted;Torthe views he entertains of Christ, and the motives which govern him in his approach to that sacred feast.— The supper is celebrated only as the communion of the church with Christ. In the emblem she sees Him. From Calvary she hears His voice and she marks the impressive language of that dripping blood, and mangled body.— When the solemn service has closed, she t'eels that she has come away from the solemn scene of His death; and ihe recollection of his agony, writes more deeply the law of His love upon her heart.

W e never suppose that in commu-nion we think of each other's virtues— of each other's fitness for the earth.— We leave this with him who presumes to eat and drink We remind him that he who does so unworthily, eats and drinks condemnation tohim3elf,not dis-cerning the Lord's body. We insist upon a clean heart and active faith.— W e demand no tesi of fellowship, for we do not believe that communion de-mands one. W e invite the believer, wearing his appropriate badge, to the sacrament, not to express our cordiali-ty, or confer upon him any token of our favor. We have no right to reject one who approaches in the consecrated way. The table is the Lord's. We are His servants. Whom He invites, we in His stead invite. We would not refuse—wedare not refuse. It is th(^rs to commune, but not at our option to confer. The moment we reg:iril an inviiHtion to communion, a fnvor we bestow upon others, we forget the M:is-te ro f the feast and rob the institution of all its glory.

3d. Because on earth we commune with all christians just as we shall com-mune with them in Heaven. W e min-gle together in the worship of God; our voices blend in prayer and we hymn His praise in sweetest concert. We adore Him in spirit—such worship He seeks—siich we cheerfully accord.— W e love Him because He first loved us. W e bear His image. We cannot fail to love each other because all our love centres in One—the fairest of all the fair. Nor can we fail of commu-nion with each other in Heaven, since we shall be ab.sorbed in the ocean of His love, and more than ever we shall all be in Christ—glorious refuge! He will be theonly object of our thoughts

—our aspirations, our all. So really shall we be in H im—and all admiring and loving one another!

The mistake is here with our friends —they confuse the sacrament of the supper, with christian association.— They makothc motives that urge us to the one, the same that prompt us to the other. This however is wrong. W e approach the communion with a differ-ent spirit and for different reasons than we do a circle of christians. The one spot is holy ground; where we trem-ble lest we take one step amiss, and in our error we penetrate our souls with sorrow. It is a Saviour's voice that calls us to His agony. W e hear and obey. W e eat and our souls live.— Now, i f a man be actuated by the same feelings in the two cases, he destroys the spirituality of tbe supper, makes it a mere human ceremony; the pledge of hia jolly feelings to a jolly company, and in no instance discerns the Lord's body, and of consequence eats and drinks damnation to himself. But in truth, this is not the design of the sac-rament of the supper in the estimation of any body of christians. It is less a pledge of their love for each other, than of their obedience to Christ.— They dare not cat and drink with any other than a spiritual design. The bro-ken body and the shed blood teach all christians the price Infinite Love paid for their redem|)tion; and I imagine the only reason why it is so much insisted on as a Jtest of our kindly feelings for each other, is that they may e.xhibit the ungenerous conduct of the baptists in their communion.

They are not so solicitous after all that we should commune in Heaven as that they m a j exhibit the fictitious lib-erality of their own hearts, in contrast with the presumed restrictive system of our church. They admit us to be christians, and upon "this ground will admit us to Heaven; and if they have any just view of that holy and happy place, they must knout.that no sin, no evil passion is ever admitted. God guards the approach to His own glo-rious hills. All must know that it -will not be left optional with us to become occlusives, where the very element will melt all our hearts into one ever-lasting uiiion. And when they inquire how we shall commune in Heaven.^ they do so, either because lliey know-no better and ate to be pitied, or they love to trifle, and should excite our disgust; or they are malignant and wish to fasten a stigma upon our char-acters that will awaken the aversion of the world towards us, and bring us justly into its contempt. Honorable motive! Worthy indeed, the name ol christian! I hope the day will come when every system will he so much a system of truth, that it will not demand misrepresentation and falsehood to sus-tain it. Did I believe my own church resorteii to such miserable extremes to e.^ihibit her consistency, Iwould leave her communion at once; and if tbere were none purer than she, without her aid and without her comfort I 'd venture alone, by the light of truth, the path that leads to the city of my God.

BBO. GRAVES:

Since our last Association some of our churches have been blessed of the Lord, at protracted meetings held by different ministering brethren. Con. cord church has had an addition of for-ty-three—Providence twelve, and E-iion twelve; most of them by Baptism, but some by letter and restoration.— A new church called iNew Hope, has also been constituted, to which sever-al have been added by baptism. The Mount Pisgah church received some coloured rnemoers for baptism on Sun-day last; they are the fruits of special efforts among the blacks.

At a protracted meeting among our Methodist brethren, I have^understood that out of an addition of eight membe/s six of them were immersed, and at the same time another went down to the water, kneeled down and had a little water poured upon her. From these circumstances you sec that immersion is gaining ground and that as much as our Pedo brethren nate immersion, they will d<i it to save members- Om-nipotent truth will prevail.

relation continue as long as ii is much more agreeable and useful. The practise of annual election is produc-tive of some evils which it is desirable lo avoid. It renders the settlement of a Pastor very uncertain, and be cannot engage in his work with the same zeal and devotion, that he would do, if he felt his settlement more permanent and the tleslinies of his people committetl to him. Again it appears to me to be likely lo produce a man pleasing spir-it air.ong the ministry—a faithful exhi-iiition of Bible truth is not always pala-table to the church—lo drag the sins of church members to light, and to expose them in the light of God's truth is not always p l ^ san t—bu t the pieacher must please tbe church or be will not be re-elected. I have also known it, where churches are strong to produce a spirit of electioneering on the part of some ministers, and thus produce jeal-ousies among the ministery. Church-es are also injured by it. These fre-quent changes destroy the influence of the Pastor over them and they do not cultivate that spirit of de%'oted attach-ment, that is necessary for them to be greatly benefited by bis labours. Ii also renders them liable to be lead astray by the more novel preachers of a protracted meeting, and charmed up by tbe excited preaching of these meet-ings; they think a change will give greater prosperity to the church—a new preacher is chosen, and loo late

Permit me, through the Baptist, lo remind the churches composing the Concord Association of iheir pledge lo sustain a beneficiary at Union Univer-sity during the last Associational year. Ii will be remembered by all concern-ed, that at the session befc»re the last of the Association at Little Cedar Lick, a committee was appointed lo select and place at the University a j'oung man desiring to study for the tntnistry—and that that body pledged itself to sustain such beneficiary. The committee discharged that duty, and placed in the Institution, our brother L . J . Ciutcher, who consequently re-ceived instruction during the last As-Sfxriational year upon the faith of the Association, l i the last session of that body, held with the church at Rock Spring, several of the churches redeem-ed their pledge by sending up their contribution amounting to S23; since which time the Bradley's Creek church has paid over So lo the beneficiary per-sonally, increasitig the sum to S28 only —leaving unpaid S47. Now the ques-tion is, shall those lo whom bro. Crutch-er is indebted for board See., fail to re-ceive their just dues upon the faith of Concord Association? Shall not the Association retleem its pledge.^ Sure-ly it wrlll

The writer having h^d a conversa-tioii with t'lie beneficiary on tbe sub-ject, is authorized to say to those chur-ches in arrears, that they can send their contributions by mail, to him at Mur-freesboro' at his risk, and as he is in immediate need, it is hoped, for the sake of every thing that is sacred, thai there will l)e prompt action on the sub-ject.

In such a case , ihf anxiety is, not to know what the iTviewer thinks of the performance , so mi j fh as what the author has designed lie <lii; w e shall, iherelbre, pre.^eni our IHeiids .at once wi th the preface .

" D u r i n g my ministry in the E s t a b -iishraenl, an indefinite fear of the con-clusions at which I might arr ive, led rar": to avoid the stai ly of the question lit' bapt ism; liut 1 felt obliged ti) exam-

T h e rea-31'lis a.33igued by the Anglican ca tc -cllism why an infant should be baptiz-ed without repentance and faith a re very unsatisfactory- As soon, than, a s I had settled my mind upon the union " f j thg churches with the state, I turned my attention to this question. A w a r e hiiw many are disposed to at t r ibute any o | ininn which contradicts their own to siich a partial , one-sided investigation as they practise themselves, I deter-mined to form m y j u d g m e n t entirely b j J the s tudy of the Scr iptures , and of si^ch authors as advocate the bapt ism of; infants. T o that determination I have adhe red . And not having read a single Baptist book or t ract , I publish the tulluwing work as an indispendent n-siimiiny m the exclusive right of be-l i rvers to Chris t ian bapt ism. Un-rfoiibledly I might have enr iched its p:(gps by an examination of the able atsd excellent authors who have wri t -«ph iin the s ame side; and by the use oG their reasonings and researches. raJght have escaped some of the errors, oil detail into which it is possible that, in ' the discussion of a question so ex-tensive anil so complicated, I may have fallen: but then I should have lessened

value as an inilependent test imony. Several of the works with which 1 h i v e ^ e misfiirtune to differ a re wri t -ie»i with ability and with calmness , es-pi^ ia l ly those of W a r d l a w and Leon-ard Woods, of Hal ley and Godwin . Njithing can be bet ter than the spirit w j i c h pervades the volumes of Budd arid Bickersteth: if I dissent from their ccincluaions, 1 gladly express m y con-v i t i n n of their honesty; and , while cdntending against one of the opinions o ^ p i o u s Pedobapt is ts , I earnest ly hope t m t nothing m a y ever diminish the cordiali ty with which w e may ac t to-ge ther in promoting the cause of the E i d e e m e r .

i " I a s sume in the following essay ihpt the word bapt ism means immer-siijn, and that to baptize is to immerse ; the evidence of which fact I ho[)e to acjduce in a separate vo lume ."—Pp, v-v i i .

In the introduction Mr. Noel assigns reasons Ibr believing, that Christ ian b.Tsptism w a s instituted fay our Lord , alter his resurrection from the dead , as recorded in the twenty-eigth chapter of Mat thew's Gospel; that the command to the inini.stera of Christ to baptize is to liapiize in water ; and t h a t it is the will uf Christ tha t disciples or believ-e r s i n him should be baptized in wa te r in all successive generatinns. T h e s e prel iminary points being disposed of, he {irnceeds to show, in the first chap-ter , that baptism, as a profession of re-pentance , fdith, and consecration to the r r i i i ne Go<l, must be preceded bv fuitfe and by disciplerf j ip to Chris t . T h e second chapter is devoted to the exam-ination of the New T e s t a m e n t bap-tisAii: and New T c a t a m e n t language respecting the 'na ture and effects of haniiam, theobject being to prove " tha t nooiiff who does not make a consis-icnt' prolejgina of faith ought to be baptiii ' i l ."

" Infan t Bap t i sm" is the title of the iHinJ chapter , and it begins with " G e n -eral Considerai ioni lo snow t h e U t i k w -'u[|ips.< of infa ii Bap t i sm." H e r e we *hijll neitlier lici jus t to the nuthor, nor kind IK the r fodi r, unless we furni ih a ' p e t i m e n .

1 1

THE TENNESSEE BAPTIST . ti.smal profession by substi tuting a pa-

rental ac t fur the act of the person him-self. Since bapt ismal dedication in in-fancy , sets aside, with reference to all such infants, bapt i smal profession in af-ter life, the one must not be lightly sub-sti tuted tor the other, lest a human in vention be found to subver t a divine or d inancc . T h e c o m m a n d s of Christ to each penitent believer a re plain: 'Re -pent , and be baptized; ' 'Arise, and wash a w a y thy sins; ' ' H e that believ-eth and is baptized shall be saved.' .— But where is the auteori ty for the bap -t ismal dedication of the infant withdut profession.' In vain dd w e look thro' the whole N e w T e s t a m e n t for a line, for a word, in its fevor.

" B u t why, it has been aslted, do you not equal ly insist on express au-thority for adminis ter ing the L o r d ' s Suppe r to women? Men are express-ly c o m m a n d e d to leceive it, bu t where is the express c o m m a n d for womeni*— I answer , that there is express authori-ty for their reception of iL W o m e n who believe ill Christ a re by that faith disciples of Chr is t and children of God , as much as believing men, Gal . iii. 26 - 2 S ; Acts v. 14. When bapt ized, they a re baptized into the Church of Christ , Acts viii. 3. T h e y are, therefore, m e m -bers ot churches as well as men, and are so addressed , I ^ m . xvi. 1, &c. &c. T h e y were, therefore, members of the church at Corinth, 1 Cor. xiv. 34. But all this church is said, by the aposlte, to have assembled to receive the Lo rd ' s Suppe r , women as well as men, 1 Cor. i. 2; xi. IS , 20, 26. And as this habit was recognized by the apostle, and not condemned , it had his sanction; see al-so Acts ii. 3 8 - 4 2 . Besides, if there had been no express authori ty for the admission of women to the Lo rd ' s ta-ble, there would have been no similari-ty between the cases. F o r in Christ J e s u s ' there is neither J e w nor Greek , there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female , ' Gal . iiL 28. A believing w o m a n before God is ex-act ly as a believing man; and , there-fore, the reception of the Lo rd ' s Sup -per by a woman is exact ly the same spiri tual act as the reception of it by a man: and since ' there is neither male nor female in Christ J e sus , ' a command given to disciples general ly , is given to^ women as well as men; and when J e s u s said to his disciples repect ing the cup , 'Dr ink you all of it, ' he said it to women as well as men.

" W h a t a shal low fallacy, l ikewise, it is t o argue, that because the s a m e spiritual act may be performed by two classes of believers, of which one alone has been named in the precept , that therefore two opposite acts may be per-formed by these two classes! W h e n one believer receives the L o r d ' s Sup-per, it is the same act as when another receives it; and w e may infer the duly of the one from the du ty of the other. But when an unconscious infant has baptism forced upon it, and , being yet nnregenerate , receives the sign of re-generation, its bapt ism is a rile totally different from the bapt i sm of a believ-er , who, as regenerate, voluntarily ex-presses by baptism his failh and his obedience. T h e duty , therefore, of one believer to baptize his infant cannot be inferred from the du ly of another believer to be himself baptised; and the case which rests upon so forced an analogy must be weak indeed.

" B u t if there is no analogy between the reception of the Lord ' s S u p p e r by women who believe in the reception of baptism by unconscious infants, there is a close analogy between the reception of baptism by an infant and its recep-tion of the Lo rd ' s Supper . Whi le b ^ lievers a re commanded lo receive both baptism and the Lord ' s Supper , the Word of God is silent respect ing the administrat ion of ei lher sacrament lo infants. I l is, therefore, by the nature and design of ilie sacraments that we must j u d g e whether or not they are to be administered lo them: and the anal-ogy between the two sacramenls de-monstrates lhat ei ther bolh should be received by infants or both deferred till the infant has beceme a believer. As the adult must believe before he can jroperly receive the Lord ' s Supper , so le must believe before he can properly

receive bapt ism. As the reception of the Lord ' s Supper is a profession of fuith, so the reception of bapt ism is n profession of faith likewise. If, there-fore, the adul t is qualified for bapt ism, he is qualified for the Lo rd ' s Supper ; and if ho isdisq^ualified for the Lord ' s Supper , he is disqualified fur bapt ism. "The qualifications for each ordinance a r e t h e s . i m e . But wha t is t rue of the sac ramenls general ly, must be true of them with ruspoct lo all who receive ihetn: for the sacramenls romaining the same, the qunlifications must remain the same also. If, ihorefoic, llio in-fant is qualified for bapliiim, ho is qual-ified for the Lord ' s Suppe r ; and if he is (lisniialificd for the Lord ' s Supper , he is disqualified for bapt ism. Hunce it fiillowi, thai if you may infer the bapt i i in of infants from the baptism of believers, you may also infer tho ad-mission of infanU lo the Lnnl 'g table from the adiiiiiiiDn of believers to il, for the qualification or dijqualificniion of infants is the same in both ca i e s .— But if il be supersli l ious and unlawful to adminis ler the Lord ' s Suppe r to in-funt t because they have not ihe faith which is requisite for it, »o it mu»l be equal ly suiJcrililiouJ a n J unlawful I*

adminis ter baptism to them when ihey are equally incapable of the faith which is requisite for it. If a distinct authori ty is wanted to jus t i fy the ad-mission of infants to the Lord ' s Sup-per , it must be equally wanted to jus-tify their ad mission to bapt ism, because both ordinances require the same quali-fications. •

" T o those who ask authority for their exclusion from the ordinance of bapt ism, I reply lhat no such exclusion is needed . Chris t ' s law is, 'Repen t , and be bapt ized. ' W e know thai w e do his will when we bapiize the believ-er, and as he has n.it commanded the baptism of infants, it can be mi viola-tion of his command to de lay their baptism till they become believers.— His silence renders it improbable that he intended them to be baptized; the required conditions of baptism render it more improbable; and if t,') positive precept be found prohibilin;» the bap lism of infauls, as no precp[)i is found prohibiliii!» llieir ieceptioii ol ihe Lord 's Supper , yet the revealed nature and design ol' both sacramenls amount lo such a prohibition.

"Al l that the advocates of infant bapt ism can venture to say with rofei-ence to the evidence of the New Tes -tament is, that the exclusion of infants is not certain. But is this evidence enough upon which to baptize them.'— May Chris t ' s requirements of repent-ance and failh be so lightly set asiile.' Le t us recall the rule of the apostle Paul in all cases of doubt, ' L e t every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. . . H e that doubteih is damned if he eat , because he eatelh not of faiih; for whatsoever is not of failh is sin,' Rom. xiv. 5 - 2 3 . Since there is no evi-dence thai Christ intended infants to ! be baptized, and it is certain that he intended believers to be so, it is safer to follow his declared will than uncer-tain inferences which may be in oppo-sition t o i l . Jesui t morality is indeed of a different kind. 'Probabi l i ty , ' the Jesui t says , ' is a doctrine according to which, in the concurrence ('.ollision.') of two opinions, of which tlie one is more probable and in conformity wiih the law, the other less probable but fa-voring concupiscence, it is lawful to follow the latter in practice '—Exira i t s des Assertions, tom. i, p. 27, note. ' T h e authority of one good and learned doc-tor renders an opinion probable . '— T h a t any opinion may be probal)l>" lo

me, it is sufficient that I have a reason which seems to me good, or ihe author-ity of a good doctor whiah is equiva-lent to a reason. ' ' I t is sufiBcient f i r an inexperienced and unlearned man to follow the opinion which he thinks to be probable , because it is maintained b\ ' good men, who are versed in that ar t , although the opinion may be nei-ther the more safe, nor ihe more com-mon, nor the more probable. ' ' I t would be an insupportable burden lo the con-sciences of men, and liable lo many scruples, if we were bound lo follow and examine the more probable opin-ions.' ' I t is lawful to follow the more probable opinion, rejecting the less probable, al though it may be more safe. It is sufficient for unlearned men to act rightly, that they follow the opinion of a learned man; . . neither is it necessary to be certain of acting rightly. ' ' H e does not sin who follows a probable opinion, rejecting the more probable, whether the latter be the op-inion of others or of ihe agent himself, and whether the less probable opinion which he follows be the safer or the less safe. ' ' W e may follow the proba-ble opinion without sin, rejecting that whic 1 is more probable and more sate. ' ' In fact, many opinions may be ad-duced which are prudent ly prabable , although they may bo cont ra ry to Scr ip ture . ' ' W e are never more free from the violation of the l a w than when w e persuade ourselves lhat we

.are not bound by the law. . . . He who says that the law is not binding cannot sin. He , therefore, who follows the less rigid and less probable opinion cannot sin.' 'Even in the administra-tion of the sacraments it is lawful to follow the less probable things, reject-ing the more probable. ' 'Ol two con-tradictory probable opinions touching ihe legality or illegality of any human action, every one may follow in prac-tice or in action lhat which ho would prefer, al though it may appear to the agent himself less probable in theory. '

" T h i s Jesui t doctrine certainly jus-tifies infunt bapt ism. T h e Scripturo says, 'Let every man bo fully persua-ded in his own mind. ' Let every man ascertain by pxamination of Scr ipture thai his course of cundiiut is ngreciiblo lo the will of Ood. Lot him obtoin comploto Scr iptural evidenco that ho may rawfuliy iieglccl lo rnuko n pro-fession of his liiith by immersion.— T h o Jesu i t replies, ' I t would bo an iii-(upportable burden in the contcicnccA of men, and render them l i ab lu . to many scruples, if wo worn bound to examine and to follow tho more proba-ble opinion. It is lawful to follow ilic raoro probable opinioin, rejecting tho li^ss probable, all hough tho laltur may be the more safe. T h o iiuthnrily of one good and Ic.irnril doctor riMidors an opinion probable. ' 'Scr ip ture seems to command the immersion of nil bn-liovers as a profession of llieir f'.iiiii; but Chr is t ians cannot be bound to as-certain this du ly for them^elvo.s.— Many excellent men tliiuU infanlsprink-

ling is sufficient. The i r authority ren-ders this opinion piobable. It must be lawful to follow it. '

"Sc r ip tu re says, ' H e that doubteih is damned if he eat , because he eaieth not of faith, for whatsoever is not of failh is sin:' in olher words, ' H e lhat doubteih thesuff ic ien^yof infant sprink-ling is condemned if he adheres to it, by refusing lo profess his faith by im-mersion, because he adheres lo it with-out conviction that it is the will of God. For whatsoever is done without belief that it is the will of God, is sin.'

" T h e Jesu i t replies, ' In the collision of two opinions, of which ihe one is more probable and in conformity with Ihe law, the other less probable, but favoring our wishes, it is lawful to fol-low the latter in pract ice. It is much more agreeable not to be immersed , tho' immersion was probably inter,ded; and therefore it is lawful to adhei=e to infant sprinkling. It is lawful lo fol-low the less probable opinion, although it may be the less safe. Neither is il necessary lo be ceitain of acting tight-ly. W e are certain lhat Christ com-manded believers to be immersed.— W e cannot be certain that he allowed infants to be sprinkled; but it is lawful to supersede the immersion of believ-ers by the sprinkling of infants not-withstanding. '

"Chr i s t hasjsaid by his apostle Pe-ter, 'Repen t , and be immersed, every one of you; ' and by his own lips, ' H e that believeih and is baptized shall be saved. ' H o w then can Christian churches lawfully prevent believers in general from being baptized, by taking care to baptize them long before, when they are unregenerate infants.'

" T h e Jesu i t replies, ' T h e r e are many opinions which are prudent ly probable, although they may be con-trary to Scripture. T h e sprinkling of infants is one of these. Christ com-mands believers to be immersed; but we think lhat he could not intend it.— W e are not, therefore, bound by his command; and we are never more free trom ibe violation of (he law than when we persuade ourselves that we are not bound by it. W e declare that Christ 's command to us to be immersed does not bind us; and he who says lhat the law is not binding cannot sin. It is utterly distasteful and offensive to be plunged into water as a profession of a death to sin, and a new life of devo-tetlness to God. And as we prefer the sprinkling of us when we were in-fants to any such baptismal profession to be made by us as men, we may law-fully adhere to the former: for of two contradictory probable opinions, louch-ing the legality or illegality of any ac-tion, every one may follow iu practice that which he prefers. '

" T h i s is human nature. In examining, therefore, ihe claims of a du ty which is unfashionable and despised, let us take care t h a t we arc not tainted by Jesui t morality, and lhat we do not refuse to make a profession which Christ has enjoi ' ied, from respect to human au-thority of the fear of human censure, from cusfom or convenience, from pre-jud ice or priile. It is certain thai Christ has enjoined the immersion of believers, and lei it be remembered that the sprinkling of infants is not an addition to this law, but a substitution for it.

" ' T h e Reformers knew no baptism, ' says Mr. Budd, 'but that of infants, and iherefore prepared no service for adults: lhat was a subsequent provis-ion to meet the evils which had been introduced by limes of Anabapt i s t con-fusion. T h e y had no idea of a church the membership of which was not con-stituted by infant bap t i sm. '—Budd ' s Pre/. 233.

" S o completely had the baptism of believers, which alone is known in the. New Tes tamen t , vanished from the churches. Even now, except in the Baptist churches, not one person in n hundred is bnpiized as a penitent be-liever; the baptism of profession is vanished, the baptism of iledicntion by another has taken its place. Spontan-eous ba nism is gone, iho sprinkling of those w 10 are without ihoiight or will remains. Chris t ' s law is nearly sunk into oblivion, tho npooryplml corollary Kovcrns almost universal practicc.— Our Lord has said by hisnposl le , 'Re-pent, and bo baptizedi 'Bnd iho church-es sprinkle those incapable of repent-unco. Tho New Tes tament rccords tho baptism of believers and of no in-fants; the churches liow sprinkle in-fants and scarcely any believers. All the |)a«siigcs on baptism in the New Tos tamont have loj l their moaning, because! baptism has been severed from fuith, regeneraiion, reinissinii of sinn, ilio death lo sin, the new life, tiio put-ting onChridt , salvnlion; all connecird with bapt ism in tho Now Tostamcii t Imvii ceiispil 111 bo connected wiih it, licciiiMd water is now ndiniiiislered to n difli'font cla»4 of porsoiii without fuith. And all this has huppened svitli out any iiuthority whatever from our Lord .

" T o my mind ihisatorie it decisive. Inferpiict's and indirect iirgiiinfinis, for [in nddiiion lo Chris t ' s law which in renliiy subver t i it, are inndn)i«»ible.— Nothing bill exprcM and positive en-ac tments ciii) sanction an mnnvuiion so ciitiri'ly at variance with tlio spiiit of ihe ori;;ii)al insiilution. Such onuet-mnnl is Wiinting; and the disciples of Ch i i i l soem, tlieieforp, Ijound loutlhero

to his declared wi l l . "—Pp. 126—137.1 But as we proceed we find lhat w e '

are gett ing into-difficulty. T h e r e is i an aspect of freshness about Mr. Noel's ! pages, arising from his having viewed i ihe subject trom a position which we 1 have never oc<-upied, that induces mirlhfuliiess and disposition to quote unduly. W e must check ourselves. I

T o ihe Pfdobapl i s t ministers who I read wliat we write, for we have rea- I son to think lhat more Pedobapt is t min- . islers read our pages than recommenil j them to their flocks, we beg lo say two j things. T h e first is that they must not i hold us accountable for every sentence lhat our young brother has writ ten.— He has learned some things among them lhat he has not yet unlearned so fully as he will probably hereaf ter .— T h e second is that they may lay aside their friendly anxieties lest after all there should be some important differ-ences between his views and ours, so thai af ter having left them he should be unable to fraternize with us. Il is all right enough, we can assure them. Not that he is a convert of ours; we have no part of the honor of his en-lightenment. H e is as innocent as they themselves are of t amper ing with our controversial books; but he has done what they can hanlly blame, howevei much they may regret the result ,—he has surrendered himself to the leach-ing of the New Tes tament . Our can-dor induces us lo entertain the opinion that they will read this work Ibr them-selves, and though they have not given our arguments their full weight in time past, who can tell what may occur now.' W e do hope lhat there will be as many converts made from their ranks lo ours now by Mr. Noel—just about as many—as will be made fiom the ranks of the Eslabli.shmenl lo dis-sent by ihe judgment of Sir Herber t J enne r Fus t .—From the London Baptis/ Magazine for September.

T H E P R E A C H E R AND T H E GAMBLER.

SCENE ON BOARD A SODTH-WESTEBN STEAMER.

Persons of these two antagonistic portionsof society are frequently thrown into intimate fellowship and associa-tion with each other, especially while travelling on the steamers of the South-em and Western waters.

Some years since, a number of gam-blers, with two or three clergyman, happened to be among the passengers on board of a steamboat bound from Cincinnati to New Orleans. T h e com-pany on board was numerous; but as something uncommon and extraordi-nary, from whatever cause, extra mor-ality or otherwise, there was little or no gambling practised by the passen-gers on the trip downward.

Several days had passed in this way, when a gambler—a wild reck-less sort of a character—began to grow impatient of the tedium of the voyage, and anxious for a chance of making his passage money by victimi-zing some of the "green ones" in the crowd. Going upto one of the clergy-men alluded to, (whom he was not aware was of that profe.^sion,) a smooih-faced, good looking, aSable, youngish man; he slapped him on the back, and somewhat familiarly accos-ted him:

"Say, stranger! dull music 'board, I reckon! Come, lake a drink and let's have a little life 'mnngst us!"

" T h a n k you, ray friend, I 'm a tee-totaler, and never drink."

"Oho! you are eh? Lei ' s have a hand at cards then."

"There , I 'm again al fault. 1 don't know one card from anolher, and can't

be an unworthy ambassador of CHRIST, and hope to be made the means of con-verting many souls to GOD."

"Wel l , I thought as much. But I tell you, I never had the sand 50 knocked from under me before in my life. If you preach in that way there won't be many of us gamblers left, on board this boat, 1 tell you. But I sup-pose it's all right; my good mother used to pray, and Icould'nt help think-ing of her when you cut me all up in little pieces, and put my singing pipes out of tune. I 'd ha 'g ive fitly dollars to have that 'ere saddle put on anoth-er horse."

I suppose it is needless to say that the gambler required no further preach-ing on that passage. His own conduct and that of his confederates, was such as to be a mailer of no little animad-version on the part ot the clergymen and passengers, while they pursued their voyage. [J . H. Green.

pla . "Scissors!—I never see the like!—

Here, young man, let me show you liow,"

" I 'd rather not, sir, if you please." "BI imstoneblazes!—can't we get up

some liltle bit of deviltry or 'nolher.'— I'm sick on'l pokin' round in ihis ere way. Wonder if we can't gel some old boss 10 give us a preach.' That old coon over there wit 1 a while necker-chief, looks like one o' them gospel shop men. 'Sposc we ax him to give 113 a sarmonf I'd like to hear one by jingo!"

" T h a t gentleman, sir, I presume to be a preacher, and ii is quiie likely he will accommodate you."

"You Knows him, don't you.'' Just ^et him to give us a sortin sarmint."

" I will ask him,'! replied the clergy-man. He crossed over to his friend of the while cravat, and slated the wish of the gambler. Reluming, however, he remarked that the preacher declin-ed lecturing till a more convenient sea-son.

" T h e dence he does? Well, I 'm bound to have some fan somehow or 'norher. Can't you spout a bit, my young sapling? 'Spose you try it on, anyhow."

"My friend, if I should preach, 1 should try to give you some uneasi-

i ness?" "Then you are jusl the man for me.

Gil up here and gin us a sprinkling ot brimstone; stir up these old ironsides on board, give 'em an extra lick, and come ihe camp-meeiing touch; will ye? Here's an old chap here, who's got a hymn book, and I can sing first-rate when I get agoing, if the lines are given out; and mind ye, neighbor give us a jam-up prayer; blow and strike out as loud as ye can, and make 'em lliink that a pack of well grown prair-ie wolves are coming, with a smart handful of thunder and lightning, and a few shovels full of a young airlh-quake- By the gracious Moses, we'll have a trifle of sport then won't we?"

The gambler then helped the prea-cher to arrange the sermon; borrowed the bymu book and sat down with an expression of moek gravity in his coun-tenance.

By ibis time a crowd had gathered round to witness the proceedings, won-dering what would be the upshot of the business. T h e preacher smoothed his face,, selected a hymn, and then lifted up his hands and eyes in the attitude of prayer. Waxing warmer and warm-er as he proceeded, he appealed to God in the mtist spirit-stiring and sol-emn manner. He alluded to the gam-bler in a very pointed manner, and prayed for his salvation from the ruin to which he was so recklessly tending. Such was the force of his appeal, that a burning arrow seemed speedily sent to the gambler's soul. The prayer was followed by an excellent sermon by the young clergyman, who after-wards said that he never felt more im-pressed in his life, with the awful re-sponsibility of his mission, or.felt a ful-ler inspiration from on high to pro-claim the wrath of God to dying and hell-deserving sinners.

T h e gambler 'squirmed' under the Gospel truth; yet uneasy as he was, he contrived to" sit the sermon out; but he could not wait to participate in singing ihe closing hymn.

Shortly after all was over; and going up 10 the clergyman, he said:

"1 say, friend, you are a preacher, aim you?"

"Yes, my friend, I have the honor to

" I T IS A L L MY O W N . " A man of wealth, living a stranger

to religion and its ordinances, was walking and holding this soliloquy— " W h a t a happy man I am! I have an ample fortune, an affectionate wife, and everything to make me comfortable; and what is more, I am indebted to no one for it; I have made it myself, I am independent of every one; it is all my own. Many persons are under obliga-tions here and there, but I am not.— It is all my own." At that instant, a sudden shower drove him to the near-est church. He went in, and just at that moment the minister rose and read his text—"Ye are not your own, ye are bought with a price." "Wha t ! " said he to himself, "this is a strange doctrine. But it does not apply to me; I am my own, and all I have is iny own." The course of the sermon ex-posed his obligations to God, and issued in totally revolutionizing his views and feelings.

C H R I S T I A N L I B E R A L I T Y . A pious member of the Methodist

Church in the city of Cincinnati, desi-rous of exciting his brethren to greater liberality in their contributions to be-nevolent objects, has purchased one thousand copies of Harris ' great work, entitled "Mammon" for gratuitous dis-tribution among them. He desires that every member of the Church may be brought 10 see and feel his respon-sibility for the use of all his property.— Toe volumes are neatly covered with paper, and are to contain a card re-questing that the reader should return the volume to his minister, to be loaned to others. The donor, who does not wish to be known in the transaction, is said to be a man in moderate circum-stances in life and was a teacher in a Sabbath school. In the library of the school was a copy of this void me.— Seemingly by accident, without know-ing much respecting its character, he look it from the library, became inter-ested in its perusal, and, as the result has contributed upwards of one hundred dollars to place it in the hands of others.

Etenj Child Goes Home at Night.— Though the children of diSerent fam-ilies are mingled together in play or at school during the day, yet when night comes they all go home to their father's house. So now the righteous and the wicked, believers and infidels are min-gled together; they sii in the same sanc-tuary, -live in the same houses, and par-take of many of the blessings of God together; hut when the night of death comes, every one will go to his own home. The children of the Devil will go to their father's dark and horrible abode and the children of God will go to their Father 's light, joyfuland glo-rious mansions. Dear reader, whith-er will you go? Remember the words of Jesus: '^1/ ye bcliece not that 1 am he, ye shall die in your sins. Whither 1 go ye cannot come.' Come to Hi m now, and ye shall find the way to God and Heaven.

Imagine fourof ihecrockedest things in the world, then imagine four more twice as crooked, and then fancy to yourself a large river three times as crooked as all these put together, and you have a faini idea of the crooked disposition of tliis exceedingly crooked river. There is no drift in it, from the fact that it is so crooked that timber can't find its way far enough down to lodge two sticks together—but few snakes, because it is not strait enough to swim in—and the fish are all in tlie whirlpool in the bends, because they can't find their way out. Birds fre-quenily attempt to fly across the river, and light on the same side ihey started from, being deceived by ih - tlifTerenl

j crooks! Indeed, you may be deceiv-I ed when you think you see across it; and some of the boys say il is so terri-bly twisting there isn't but one side to it.—New York Literary World.

Of the quahfications of the Facul ty , the Trustees deem it unnecessary to speak in de-tail, they are gentlemen eminently qualified to till their respective stations. Our wortliy President is a man of superior talents and teaming, one who is respected by all who know him; young gentlemen placed under his charge learn at once to love and obey him.— This Institution is located in Murfreesboro', a beautiful and healthy town, the county seat of Rutherford, one of the most fertile counties in our S ta te . . Our town is noted for the good morals and intelligence of its citizens.

T h e courses of S tudy are thorough and ex-tensive, as much so as any Institution in the Union. The Trustees have the building in rapid progress of construction, and have pro-cured suitable recitation rooms to be used un-til it is completed. W e confidently believe there is no College W e s t of the aiountains, which affords more facility for a thorough and useful education than ours.

Board can be had in the best families at from S30 to S40 per sesaiim, washing, lights &c.. included.

N E W S P . \ P E R S . The subjoined Essay on the advan-

tages of Newspapers in Families, we copy from the Emporium. W e hope it will be a convincing argument with those who do not at present enjoy these advantages, and induce them 10 sub-scribe for some newspaper (ours if ihey choose) without further delay:—

It has been remarked in regard to newspapers, that so great is their influ-ence, and so visible their effects in a family, that a visitor need only con-verse with the children, upon any gen-eral subject, to ascertain whether the daily or weekly sheet finds admittance ihere or not, so striking will be the dif-ference on the score of intelligence, between those who have, and those who have not, access to this simpleand economical vehicle of useful knowl-edge. There is no question about the irulh of this remark as it relates to children, taking il for granted that they are taught and encouraged to read the papers until the habit is formed, which there is little danger of their ever after abandoning; and the influence ofnews-papers upon men is certainly not less salutary. Deprive a irhild of the sight of a newspaper, and let him grow up to manhood without the means it alone affords of becoming generally acquain-ted with the passing tidings of the times, and he will enter on the stage of life possessed of all those political rights which, as an American, he inherits, but without the qualifications necessa-ry to enable him judiciously to exer-cise them. He may have read much, and much that is well written, and yet he will be found grossly, ridiculously ignorant on a thousand of the simplest subjects.

We recollect a circumstance which is, in a good degree, illustrative of this. We were once in a public company ir. a neighboring town, when a conversa-tion respecting the outfits and salaries of ministers to foreign courts, came cn ihe carpet, and a gentleman calculated that a certain diplomatic personage would receive something like thirty-six thousand dollars for makinga tour of a couple of years 10 the continent—'La!' said an awkward looking young man, who sat in one cornprof the roum until now silent, that's a power of cash for a minister—our parson can preach with any of them, and he'd go 10 the world's end for a quarter of the money!'

S T I C K T O YOUR BUSINESS. If you have set up in business, but

do not succeed as well as you antici-pated, be not anxious to change.— Stick to your businoss, and in the long run you will have no reason to regrel il. Call to mind the rich and success-ful men of your acquaintance, and you will find ihey all commenced business and stuck to it—year in and out—in dull limes as well as in prosperous limes. The changing, the uneasy, never seem to get a head, but are for-ever in the suds. Il is difficult to find a man who has pursued a regular bu-siness for a dozen years, who has not prospered and made money? He may have lost it again by bail debts or en-dorsements, or speculations; but in his business he was prosperous.

To you, young man, we would say, stick to your business. Be not easily

Other Teachers will be added as the wants of the Seminary may require.

T h e School Rooms are the Vestry and ad-joining apartments of the First Baptist Church. These Rooms are amply large and well adap-ted to the purposes of Instruction and Recita-tion. The location is central, and easy of ac-cess from all parU of the City, yet sufficient-ly retired, and happily secluded from noise.

Young Ladies, who may wish to review some branch of study which they have gone over, or to pursue some study to which they have not heretofore attended, can be accommo-dated. I t is proposed to form a class, for the

i study of Grammar and the practice of Com-i position; a class for the study of the French I Language; and another, for tne study of thr

Latin Language. ' Several pupils can be accommodated i with boarding at ihe residence of Mr. Aaron

Wright , nearly opposite the First Baptist Church. Young ladies who may board there will receive the constant attention and care of the Ladies, Teachers in the School, who are members of Mr . Wright ' s family.

To illustrate the use of the GALVANIC BELT suppose the case of a person afflicted with that baiie of civilization, DYSPEPSTA, or any othwr Chrome or Nervous Disorder. In ordinary coses, stimulants are taken, which, by their action on the nerves and muscles of the stomarh, afi«»rd temporary rvliPt", but which leave the patient m a lower state, and with in-jured faculties, after the actioa thus exated has ceased. Now compare tlus with the effect resulting from the application of the Galvanic Belt- Take a Dyspeptic sufferer, even in the worst symptoms of an attack, and simply tie the Belt around the body, using the Magnetic Fluid as directed. In a short period the insensible perspiration will act on the positive element of the Belt, thereby causing a Galvanic cir-cultion which will pa^s on to negative, and thence back again to the positive, thus keeping up a contin-aous Galvanic circQlation throughout the system. Thus the most severe casea of DTSPEPSIA are per-vuBienlly cured. A few days is amply sujjicieni tB CMidicate tke disease of yearn,

SIDNEY, New Jersey, July 12, 1848. DB- A. H. CHRISTIE—Dear Sin You wiah to know

of me what has been the result in mv own case, of the application of THE GALVANIC BELT AND NECKLACE. My reply is as follows:

For about twenty years 1 had been saffering from Dyspepsia. Every yoar the symptoms became worse nor could I obtain permanent relief from any coorsa of medical treatment whatever. My physicians were skillful and excellent men; but here th^ir pre-scriptions failed. About fourteen years since, in consequence of frequent exposure to the weather, in the discharge of my pastoral duties, 1 became snbject to a severe Chronic Rheumatism, which for year after year, caused me indescribable anguish. In the severe paroxysms, the skill of my physicians sometimes afford ed me great relief; but this relief was only temporary Fartheit in the winter of'45 and '47, in consequence of preaching a great deal in my own and various other churches in this region, I was atcack«>d by the Br inchitis, which soon became so severeas to re-quire an inimediaLe suspension of my pas»ioral labors. My nervous system tras now tkorougkly prustrated, and as my Bronchitis became worse, so also did my Dyspepsia and Rneumatic affection—thus evincing thai tliese disorders were connected with each other through thr* medium of the Nervcas System. My snfferinga were indeed severe, and 1 had no prospect o;her than being entirely laid aside from the discharge of those duties, and tlie performance of those labors in which my soui has ever found the highest of her joys.

But reasoning from effect to cause, I concluded that the Nervous system must be reached before any hope could be indulged of my obtaining, relief from these most distressing maladies. In the whole phar macopsia there seemed to* be no remedial agen which could reach and recuperate my Nervous Sys-em—everything that I had tried tor this purpose had completely failed. At last I was led by me friends to examine your inventions, and (though wiih ro very sanguine hoyies of their efficiency.) I deter-mined to try the effect of the application of tUe Gal-vanic Bv.U and Necklace, with the Magnetic Flvid. This was in June. I84C. To my great astonishment, in two days mv Dyspepsia had gone: in eight days I was enabled to resume my pai«toral labors, nor have

since omitted a single service on arcMini of the Bronchitis; and my Rheumatic affection al«o ceased to trouble me. If time permitted I could fill a sheet with the details of jianiculars, but I can now only umish this brief extract. .Vly Dy«pep«Ta na-* never, returned: the Rbeumattsm our.e in a while vl- its me. but not severely, and is ea.«ily arrested, and is mani-festly being driven from its hold up<Mi my system, and my Bronchial affection is enlirely cured. Soch i» the womlerful and happy reMiita. of the exj»enment.

T have recommended the BELT and FLCID ti. many who have been likewise suffering from neural-gic Sections. They have tried them, with happy results, I believe, in eveiy rase.

I am, dear sir. very respectfullv v.inr*, koBERT W. LANDIS.
