Goikie, in his "Life and Words of Christ," says of

this baptism, " I t was a new and stiiking rcfjuire-

ment of baptism which John had tjccn sent by

divine appointment to introduce. • • It was hence

im})ossiblo to see a convsrt go down into H strrain

travel-woru and soiled with dust, and after disap-

pearing for a moment emertjo pure and fresh,

without feeling that the symUol suited and inter-

preted a strong craving of the human heart." (2)

Meyer, in conniicnting on Malt, l i t : G, says :

"Tho thing visibly and sensibly «ymboli/.ed in

.John's baptism was repentance. Hut immersion

alone answered this, because rciHsntanco (should

.concern and purif^'tho entire man, to which also

•afterwards was connected by inner necessity the

siiecifio Christian conception of tlie symltoiic im-

mersion and omersiou."

Lange, on the same passage, says: •'Immcrseil in

tho Jortian coufcsiing their sins—immersion was

tho usual mode of baptism and tho symbol of to-

pontanco."

Baptize, in onr veraioii, is a Greek word with an

English terininatiun. What is Ita primary signill-

oiition? What act doea tho wonl iiidieato? The

best I^'xicogra[ihers .iro agreed thst the iirimary

moaninf,' of tho word is to "immerse, to submerge,

t.> dip.to Hink." (f) Dr. Conant ban spent mauy

years in an exhiinnlive examination of examples of

the lexical and t;raininaiical uoo of tho wortl. lie

is reoojjMiml asonc of tho greatest linguists of the

age. lliit ihlorniation hax been "drawn from

writer?" in almoKt every department of literature

and soience; from poets, rlietoricians, philosophers,

critics, hifiloriann, Koographers; from writers en

husbandry, on medicine, on natural his-

tory, on grammar, on theology; from al-

most every form and stylo of composition-

romances, epistles, orations, fables, odes, epigrams,

sermons, narratives; from writsrs of various na-

tions and religious, Pagan, Jew and Christian, l>o-

longing to niaay dllfeiXMit countries, and through

a long succession of ages." As the result of this

wide research he has publislietl a book callcd "The

Meaning and Use of Haptlsiu." On pages 87 and

88 ho says: "Tho ground idea expressed by thin

word 18 to put into or under tho water (or otiier pen-

otral)lo substance) so as entirely to immersa or sub-

merge." "The %vord has retained its ground moan-

ing witbont change. From tho earliest Greek

literature down to its close—H iMir^otl of about two

thousand years—not an cxamplo has been found

iu which the word has a'ny other moaning.

We havo thus looked into tho Scripture teaching

as to the act of baptism and wo havo interrogated

tho most competent witnesses as to the meaning of

tho word itself am! wo find that immersion

is what the liOni submitted to, and is what ho

cnjoinud upon His followers. I.i«t us now gather

some further testimoay from tho history of bap-

tism .

Tbo Greek speaking people, who compose tho

Eastern church, and who certainly must know

tho meaning of the woitl, havo practiced immor

siou through all the centuries and still continue to

do so. Deau Stanley says: "There can bo no

(luestlou that tiio original form of baptism, tho

very meaniimof tho word, was comploto Immar-

sion in tho deep baptismal waters, and that for at

least four centuries any other form was either un-

known or regarded, unless iu tho case of danger-

ous illrtbss, as an exceptional, almost a monstrous

ca'O. To this form tho Eastern church still rigor-

ously adheres; and tho most illustrious and venera-

ble poll Ion of it, that of tho Byzantlno empire, ab-

solutely repudiates and Ignores any other mode of

administration as essontlally invalid.(1)

sijoken, is immersed.'*(C)

The reconls of the lirst Niccue Council in the

early part of the fourth century tostities to immer-

sion being the practico Ihen. Not only is all tho

tcstiinoii) up to tho close of the third century ab.«<>

lutely in favor of imiuersion ; but toward the dose

of thai century trine inwiiere.ioii began to l>e prac-

ticed in some ijuarlorg, espoiiially in the African

church. Tertulllan is tho first of all tho writers

who mention trine immersion. There is absolute-

ly no trace before the middle of tho third centniy.

It came into usanc in connection with a discussion

oil tho Trinity. From this period onward trine im-

mersion become more and more the prevailing cus-

tom.

Tho fir^t departure from immersion was In the

middle of tho third century. Cornelius, a Bishop

at l^)mc, says that Novatiau "fell into a dangerous

disease, and bocanso ho was likely to dio was per-

fused (pouretl around)on the boti where he lay." He

also says, "All tho clorey and a groat many of the

laity wero against his being chosen Presbyter, be-

cause It was not lawful, they said, for anyone that

had boon per/usetl, as he had been, to bo adinitte.1

to any ofllco of tho clergy." This departure from the

primitive act was only sanctioned thou by some of

the clergy, because, at that lato day, thoy ha<l come

to attach a saving imiKirtaiico to baptism. But wo

SCO that thoy did not regarti iwuring as scriptural

baptism, but considered it so defective as to debar

thoso who submitted to it from oniinatlon to the

ministry.

ThoCouncil of Carthago,iu tho fourth century, uses

tho word Immerse In speaking of baptism. Jerome

testifies to baptism la tbo boginnlug of the llflh

century, by saying: "Wo aro dipiwd in water

that tho mystery of tho Trinity may a p p e a r a n d

H Y M N I K ) O K S - A rUO I 'OS IT ION

O O niu(di confusion exists among our churches

^ occasioned by the introiluction of the New

Baptist I'salinisf, which was Intended to take the

place of the Southern I'salinlst—which was tound

to be too large a book—and the type too small, and

the j)rico too high—the puljlishers of the New Bap-

tist rsalinist have concluded lo make the following

generous ofler:

Any church wishing to exchange the old South-

ern Psalmist for Tiie New Baptist Psalmist, can do

80 on the following terms, viz.: For each Southern

I'salmlst, in any state of repair, they will allow the

church or possessor, half the price of The New

Ijaptist Psalndst, with os without music. The

price of the former is 75c; the latter, 60c.

The best way to accempiish this will IHJ to state the proposition before the_ church and have all the old books gathered in, and report the number, and the number of new books wanted by tbo church, and send the money with the order (f,«., 37>^c for each New Psalmist with music, and ^ for Psalm-ist without musict, and the published price of the additional new books desired, and information will be given ag to the disposition to be made of the old Psalmist. Address Bftptist Book House, Memphis, Tenn.

knead their d 'Un'h to make r.ike., to the iiucen

gods." riie> Ihereljy worshiped Semiramis, who

is callod Asiarte The name of her image is call-

elAstorcth: while Astoreth personates Xitrirod.

She required her worfihipers to observe three

feasts: One in honor of her birth on the 2.nh ol

March, known now in some of the churches as

"Lady's Day ;" the second on the Mh ol September,

or a day corresponding, called the feast of her as-

cension ; the third was observed la honor of hor

son Ninyas' birth, whom with herself she claimed

to be divine, ou a day corresponding to the 2.'flh

of December. This is all the authority the church

or i'ope over had for tixing tho birth of .Icsus

Christ on the 2.')th of Docetnl)cr. There is not a

jot or tittle of evidence or even tustimoiiy sacred or

sacular to prove the birth of our I.^rd in Dcceml)er.

I t is evident that the shepherds were watching

their tlocks by night at the time of His bfrth. The

season, in the high latitude and altitude of Beth-

lehem, never permits the shepherds to bo found

out with their flocks so late in the season as tho

2.jth of December. It was probably much ensicr

for tho early fathers to give us the heathen fcosts

ofSemiramis on tho t)irth of her proiligate son

than to admit that they did not know precisely

tho day of Christ's birth, whilo all history and

probabilities point to tbo 18th of August as tho

time of the birth of our Saviour. AVhtlo wo rejoice

at tho univernal observance of ChristmaB, from

tho rising of the sun to the going down thereof,

we cannot but feel sad that its beginning wasbasetl

upon a licentious feast kept in honor of NJnyos,

tho son of a vile, wicked woman oven i n tho ago

in which she lived. KInyas claimod to bo divino,

but history proves him (ohavo boon debaaedly

human. He lived In luxury and case in his mag-

nlflcont palaco in tho ancient city of Niiiavoh« par-

ticipating in tho most revolting and criminating

ploaauros. '

Til* truo Church of Christ is also symbolised by

a pui'o woman, a chBsto virgin. Paul, in writ ing

to tho cluireh at (Jorlntb, says, "1 have espoused

yon to one husbaiid that I may prenont you a

(ihasto virgin ta OhviKt." Tlie capital of tho king-

dom of CbVlst Is thn Now Jerufalem descending

out i f heaven tVoni fJod ; and eonstltulos the Bride,

tho Lamb's wito. There IH auolhor symbollzod Ijy

a woman, who Is deseribod by Jolin the divliiO

"arrayed in liurphi and scarlet color." Upon hor

forehead wtts « naino writlou, ''Mystery of Babylon,

Uiu (ireat, Motliei'of llikrlotx and Ahoiiiiuntions

is the antitype of the Chaldean Mysteries instituted

by ISeinlrainis, the (Irst (ineen nientloned in his

history, in their rlluallstic and ley;ul forms they

have patterned after anclunl hcaihen IJabylon.

Why don'i tho churchcs, (.'iitholic and I'rotoslant,

IMcach the truth in simplicity ind sincerity as did

iho Apostle I'etcr "That our hearts should be

I (caused by faith ;" Thai we HIUIII 1ie saved I nroiigh

COMMENCBaiENT AT MARY SUA HP COL-LEOE, WINCHESTEll, TENN.

IJiROM JacksoD we came direct to this doliglitfiil mountain spot to take fiorne part in the closing

exerclies of ,the Mary SSiarp—"the Female . Uni-yersitf of the South,'' as Dr. Eaton Tory justly prvtnoanced it, and to enjoy the occaniou. Wo say enjoy, because all scholars, and even those but partly educated admit that the days spent in lititcn-ing t» the examinaiiont are days of (nie enjoinnent and projit—for no one can listen without learning •ometking untfaon,|bt of before.

The examinations were well over by Saturday e rmiog when ' we arrived in time to prcach the Claaa Sermon on the morrow—this is the thirti tlDM in thir^-flve years. The pupils aloud filled two-thirds of the large Presbyterian meeting honce^ and they seemed unusually ilno looking and mature, and we must say, we never addrvHscd » mere serious and solemn au audicnce ui>on any oc«aaion. Otir theme wai*:

.1 L I • A A .\ 1 > 11 IE A I'OSTLKSII 1 P. r i l l l i : i|iieMiow wan lately a«ked of one of ths rell-

gioui newHpapuri., "Why did Christ, knowing aH he did ilie character of .hulas, tako liim inte the comiiany of the Apostles?"

And the answer given was, "To teach his people lhal hypocrites and traitors wore to bk looked for aiinmg Christians."

It will ho conceded that such a lesson may bo loarneil or o.xlractod from this |»icce of history. All our Savior's woimIb and acts are, I may say, of manifold meaning; but that this is tho lesson de-signed to bo taught, I can Imi'dly believe, for l ean tairly and revorcntly attribute to my Lord another and very ditreront purpoiio or motive. Besides, if it leachos this lesson, does it not also teach that willful hypocrltos are to be taken iuto the com-paiiiousliip of Christians, who know their true cliarncior? and that such hypocrites are to be in-dulged until thoy shall bo drivou by tortures of coiiRcicncc to go out and hnng themselves? But certainly no such lessons can be drawn Irom tho history and conduct of our Ixird. If I may be al-lowed rovorcutlv 11 iiK^uire iuto the motive aud purpoeo of our lA>rd, I will venture to say, that in tho Hok'ction of iiis Apostles, ho was not governed by tho policy wiiieii, as a priuoiploof hitman na-ture, nlwnys controls tho conduct of men.

iileii, rrhon engaging iu an enterpriso of great importance aud one likely to be attended with haz-ard and pei-Honnl danger, in choosing thoir confed-erates always ohoosci those upon whoso attaohineut, devotion and tldelity they can with Becirity rely; those who can bo trusted iu any •mergenoy; those who will not betray nor turn "SUto'e ovldonco."

Had he been a traijor to Cie«ar, socking to over-ihniw tho Houtan power, Judas had fpisirtiinities of learning it—as well a* the other Airf-ftle!.—and ihis was one of the chargu^ made sgsiiiM him.

INTKKKSTINC. FA ( I - - . I T may Imj considered a singular statcmeHl, yet ii

is nnrloiiUirtllv a true one, that the Bible, uni rersally c.>itccme«l as it is—issueil from the press in aiuntle.ss thousands, and Hcnt iu »uch vast streams across the coniinont that every household can l->e suppliwl—IS read uudcrstar.dinirly by coiupara-lively few persons, and in spite of its wido circula-tion, and almost universal |K)ssession, but few, even among those who read it, have a connccte<l idea of its contents.

One cause of this is that parts of the Kihio are uninteresting aud hard to understand by the ordi-nary reader. There are also many repetitions where diflerent chroniclers have narrated tho same events. The versified forms in which it is written is also diflerent from that of other IxKiks, and in-creases the difficulty of reading it with facility. From lhe.se, as well as from other causes, many people look upon the Biide as dry and hard to read. Yet in tho history which it contains and the stories which it narrates, there arc portions more deeply interesting than any work of fiction.

Now a book has ^ e n prepared in which the main portion! of the Bible, from it« beginning to its end, are rewritten in simple language and continuous form, with the difficult passages made easy and the repetitions avoided, but with the Bible narrative closely adhered to. At the same time such brief comments are added as are necessary to tho eluci-daHon of the text.

As this book takes thu form of a narration, or story, It is appropriately entitled tho "Story of the Bible." I t must not Iks confouudcd, how-ever, with tho numerous Bible Storj' Books which rehearse disconnected |>ertiou8 of Scripture, to-gether with more or loss of tho author's own thought* about them.

In the "Story af the Bible," which differs from «lt other books •f Ha class that have ever been pre-pared, tho writer has carefully avoided writing about tho Bible, and has earnostly ondearorod to pr««onl a limplo v tn ion of the Biblo itaeif; m fme

as this could be made from thoM ptirUoiir of thii |ono ofii 1. 1 •mn.-t.i 'it Sacred Book appruprtate to a work of this charac-

Persons whose acquaintance with Scrlpturo Is limitetl to occasional, disconnected reading of tho Bible, would be surprised at the absorbing intei-eit of this book. They are astonished at the easo and pleasurtJ with which, tlirough it, a general know-le<lgo of the Bible can bo obttined. Not only grown jierttona, but young children, read with de-light, its easy and simple language, aciiuiriug at the same timo a hettvT knowlctlge of tho Biblo than, perhaps, their elders have attained Uy years of the usual .luode of Bible reading.

As iho popularity of a book is best indicated by its circulation, it should l>o gtt|tca—

That, 127, (XW copies of tho "Story of tho Biblo " have been sold in tho United State.s alone, and that itssaloisat present greater than at any time since its publication.

That, it has been reprinted (wit,hout benofll to the author), in England and Canada, by publishers there who have been itlraclod by its wide popula-rity and great sale in tho United States.

That, it is being tran^lateo by inissionarios in iltfleront parts of tho world, for the iustructioii of the heathen. *

Much curiosity has been aroused to sec a boo which has attained such an iminenso sale, and which is awakening such intere.'<t in this and for-eign lantls. Tho "Story of tho Biblo" is wholly un;:cctarian, and i..i in uso by all evangelical deno-minaiiuns.

"Is Umdn Po.ssiiiLK ?"—"I was much pleased with your article on this topic on May 1, aud would ask, why not invito a confsrence of all those who arc wilting to admit that immersion was a primi live practice ? Then a convention in l''arwoll Hall, or other central place to form an alliance or union to pruuioio that truth as we believe was given l>y our Lord as the oc^ion of confession of taith in him ai Savior."—.S'c/iej; in (.V. }'.) It'ii/r/i Tower.

What would be acc^mplinhed by a union with all the *cc/.» that now practico immersiou and are willing; to ailmit it to be tho primltivo act—the <irtek ( <ii/>i)lirs, the Camphellites, tho Mormons, the Universaliiits, Freewill I{a|itists and Anti-Mis-sionary Bajitists, etc , etc. ?

Tha vilal diflercnce consists, not in tho fur'tn of the act, but in the ilesitjn of it. Baptists alone bup-ti/.e as a profession of salvation ; all others to ]>ro r'lm it. and between Ihrso two positions rolls the inipassablo gulf. Tell "Sonox" to make his cflort to get all to agree as to the tlesi'jn of baptism, and if he succeeds all Christians will come together.

TENNESSEE IN CALil-OKNI A. |>1{0. OUAVES:—1 am iu a (jucer fix. In the

great (every thing is great in California, you know) graiu-growing country, the Salinas valley, only a few miles from the shore of tho I'acitlcj 1 am so far in the interior of your Hoblo old State that i cannot, for my life, see out. It is Tcnntspce in front, TcHnesseo in tho rear, Tennessee on the right, Tennessee on the left,Tenne88ceevery whore.

Many years ago, one of the noble sons of your State,(now) Hon. Jesse I>. Carr.came to California. V.'e boanled together in 1849; with sagacity and capital that induced and enabled him to locate on a large Spanish grant in this fertile valley. He in troduced and cultivated some of the finest strains of blooded stock of various kinds, so that his place for its pnxlucts became as noted as he was for his enterprise and thrift.

Naturally, young TcnncRSceaiis of energy and eptcrprise, seeking a liomo on the shores of the Pa citic, were attracted to a situation where promise had so rapidly and so abundantly developed into success; and in a few yea re Mr. C. was ijuilo as much at home, and in the midst of his former friends, as though he had never left his native heath.

And here we, Itev. 1/r. Pendleton, and arc to dedicate a Baptist church to-morron^. It is in semi Kreek cruciform, f t and 14x20 ft., the latter c l o s e d by sliding doors and making a B . S . and pray er room, or thrown open In front of Uie pulpit aa a part of tha tnaln audienao room, at pleuurt i l a

It has TOSt 13000, and , been managed by two yo'uug Tonniurfoi Thos. F. P'aw aud O. K. Edwards tioHK woru mado andfaomu mou0jF»j[)At' two Imtlhren havo advanced the cash for fvery day's work, and all'the material, thus Mousing t h e ; lowest cost iu ovory department. Tho A. B. U. H . Society promises to doiiato the last IfiOO Whenever that amouiii will clear riho propocty- from «il iu-cumbraiico. It is designed tliat this shall bo tho case bolbre we dedicate. • '

This little village, "OonKaloi»,'^whero'UiUehurch ol 10 members is'located, ami .where'theao two brothroii Uvu, has only alwut 300 inbalbiunU,'ind this i^s first church building. > ''Vt"?!/'*;

Tho valley "Baliuus" Is at this point aboitt BOtan miles wide, with the river afthtii name name akirt-i ug i t on the south. AfBal inaa 'CUy," IG'^iiHca below, it is qiiito twice as wide, atid at^Soladad," nine miles above, it is but «i?.H>ut half Ri wfdo, but very fertilo|| to the last degree andit^protiuetivc whenovur it has sutlicient moiituro; this tho pres-ent season has gi^en it, aud hence the crops aro Jii tho grealAist abundance.

The Gon/.aies brolhortiowu at tlii^ point extend-ing cntiroly across tho valley, a "ranche" ofll.COO acres, whicli thoy lease to several turiuors, reeoiving as their rent ouc-fourth of the grain, sacked and delivered at the warehouse or the railroad.?, T I j I h

is a fair sample of tho manner iu Which 150,000 acres of as tine laud as one would wish.. t0 8e0 in this valley and vicinify are owned and cultivatml; tiiougii ilicre i a happy tondciicy toward, aud seme progress in the cutting up of these large holdings into small farms and soliiug to iudividual farmers. "Soladttd," tlie proseul

terminus of this bi*aucli of the S. I*. K. it., niiio miles southeast of this,is a vil> lago of some 2U0 people, iu which tiicre is a pros* parous lodge of the I. (). G. T., but no other moral or religious organization.

"Chualar." fivo miles below, is a village of about tho sumo population, and in about thesamesiato of ituprovomeni us the last naaied.

Tho Messrs. Faw & Edwards havo a warvhouso at each of these three towns iu which they can store au aggregate of some 15,000 tons of grain at thi) samo timo. Iu tlio oue liere thoy handle about 250,(XX) bushels per annum. The others avorage^an etjiial capacity. ®

Tiieso threo towns were laid out sonio ton years since, and tlioir growth has been similar, with 'Gonzales somewhat in tho lead. The S. S. in this town was organizud iu June of 1884 by Bro. Ed-wards, who has bedu Its suporlntondontunlit it has grown into tiiu church of which I havo spoken.

Those two brelhroii, Faw and Edwards,' stir* rounded by a largo number of other Tetinessee families, have Itid foundations anddono work hore^ for all time; sucli work as boars the impriss of the teachings of T h e T u n n e s s e i c B a p t i s t , by there»d•^ ing of which in early life thoy bftvejt,been very largely made what thoy are. I alwftys like to get int* a nolgliborhood where your B a p t i s t is tnketi and reail. 1 ani sure iu tuoh a community to And the Bible on tho tablo aud prayer at tho altar,while gooil sound doutriuo and unswerving devotion to truth pervade aud control tho entire detail of every day life. There is no yielding to expedleucy, no tampering with divine law. Tho only defect l ean „ discover ii.jre ia that these fatnilios have ceased to take and read Tit R B a i ' t i h t , an error which I am satisfied thoy will very soon edrroet, St B t t i this is already too long. May I stop and write again, some timo?

tho creator part of African prodoco KTM of 80 finiaU v»lu9 in vonipnrisoo with lU bulk, that It would not boar tho hoary 00*t of slavo carriage, thu caravans of tho slaves boiu;; ovor« weighted by their own food, ttnd re-quiring •omo two or thrco months to trarerso live hundred milos. Up to within a fow yoara tho western Afri-can trado wfti oonilnod to tho sea-board alono. and not until tho trado of tho lUvcrs Nigwr and Congo was nori-ously entnr«d upon bftd it uisd« rspld strides. In tho last firo year* it was said lo havo (juatiruplod in value. Tho comniorco of tho Congo was qt recent growth. In his tirao twclvo years a-jo thcro wora four English houses, ono French, and one Dutch trading tip tho rivor as far as Nurouku and Noiji; thero aro now forty-nino Kuroi»cian faclorios on tho bankti, and tiic exports nnd im-ports wore valued at £2,000,000. Al-ready tho trado of the Congo was very considomble, and in a few years it iironiisod to attain vast proportions. To hand over tho Congo to the Portuguese government that had dono notliiug— tho results of tho present inercantilo prospority Iwing duo eniireiy to the largo investments of capital, and long years of labor—would bo a cruel aud disastrous act There wcro no visibio signs of PortuMeso authority. Tho niarblo pillar wliich was reported to have been orpcted by tiio Portugueso on Point Padrone in 1859 was tyasbcd away by an unusually higii tide and uu further attempt iiad been niado to put up another, a significant fact worth volumes.

Tho groat valno of tho frce'navigation of tho Niger and Congo wa* tho facili-ties thoy would soon aiTonl to tho utilization of tho inland waters l y Btevnboats conncctoil witli raiiwayg. which wcro not ditlicult to congtruct, the interior being doacribod as (flio vast table-land. Thero was no doubt tho nnhoaltiiy seaboard should be avoided, and the establishment of rail-ways projected from tlio interior. I'hat was enterpriso wortiiy of Ilritlsli pluck. Extensions would soon follow from north and south, and tho interior slave trado would bo annihilated. A routo for a railway across tiio Desert of Saliara was marked tho wholo way with tho whitened skeletons of those who had perished euroute. To trav-erse that desert in twenty-four hours, a journey now rcquiriug four mouths, and placiog tho very center of African civilization within tun days of London, was a foat wortiiy of tho present ago, and after what had been dono in Ameri-ca England should do something. If sho did not Portugal would not. A lino could bo easily laid at an average rato Of ono milo a day. Taking tho doscrt at six hundred njiics broad it would bo two years in building. In conclusion, ho said tho Niger aud- Cio Congo woro tho present entrances to Africa, and if England was true to its trust it would not lot them bo recklessly tlirown away,—London Times.

An anecdote, told IJV tho writer, who has (ust skotched Berlin society, wliethor literally triio or only a neat invontion, has met with groat success. It bit« at what used to bo called in Germany a French fasliion. An Eng-lish missionaiT, so tlio story goes, was invltod to a largo dinner party by a Gorman professor nnd deputy. Out of regard to his cloth, tho hosC after tho ladios bad withdrawn from tho tablo, apologizod to tho missionary for tholr perhaps too deoolletto stylo of dross. "Oh. pray don't mention It," replied tho missionary. "I hnvo lirod for ton yoars among tho savages of Africa, and am accustomed to s u ^ sights.*'

To all Sufferfrom I'ro-lapsod Organs.

1 wi» bnerty give y«u my rbjuwns for reocmwanding t l m invaluablo article to yuu. Atsro tbah •Igtiieon years ago, I WHS thoroughly broien dosru In Toi(» from eAAMlVo preaching J Iioaald 8(H»ak but S'iKtle while without getting hoarse; my throat was generally soie, and easily irritated, and its tone became hoary and uuiiky i soon a hacking cough aet .a, that incressod, unti l a t the close of a long meeting, my voice failed entirely, undei tbo effects Of a chronic laryngllia tiiat •iwn Huperinduced bronchitis, which seri-ously tnreatened my life, 1 was now compelled to dosUt from preaching, and,

possible, overcome tho.w diflicultioK, «t)(! recover the lost troAsure, — the voice, tliat to a miuintcr or lavryor in more valuable tlian g.dd or Jewels, — nr bn silont forever. 1 spplied U> the uiiMt omineut physiclaan, and WM but little helped; Bare tbo exclHioa oi an sloiigateJ uvula, they could do nothing but adviiK) rent; and this 1 was com-(KtlloJ 10 take, What caustnl and con-tluucJ that oou.itHUt irritHtinn and lisakinsj cough, they could neither ex-plsia nor prevent. Providence threw the remedy in my way. .My wilo was iiiUering from prolapsus uteri, and tiie ()rol'e3i«)r oi the theory and praciic« ol medicine in the University of Nashville Ur. VVinatou, was her piiydiciau, and he prescribed lot her ihix ideiuiuiil Brace, wiiich sjwoilily «elie»od h-r e>he com pUinoJ ol a "dragging dowc; ' and uo language could bettor ejiprc-iH ray feeliuija, and especially alter preaching. I toc fur raJ to me if i l was good (or one case ol "dragging down," why not for another. Without, oonnulting any one, 1 procured one large enough (or myHeli and put it on, the first lime doubtless

wavever worn by a man for auch a reason, and tho result was, the ir-rilallon of my throat soon quleteil, aud the hacking ere long ceaaed, and the roice commenced building un, unti l I could griiculate, which I had nol done 'or twelve mouths, and venr noon I com-menced to preach again. 'Hiat BrHce I wore nearly ten years without communi-cating iU wonderful advantages lo any one, bocauso I thought J wan uning an article that was invented for tho une of .omales only. Privately, to a few s o c i a l (riends who weie suObring as 1 MUUered. I explained tho use ot the Brace, and through mo tiioy obtaiued it, and were raiieved as I ^ as, I now made known the power of tho Brace lo restore, strength s.'n and preserve the voice in public gpoakors, aud than commenced offering il S8 a premium to minislcni for gubscri^ en.

The cauM of «hoarseneH« soro throat, laryngitis, «nd flnelly bronchitis in public iiwakers.and all these symptoms of "drag-ging down," gonnness, exhaustion after speaking, and weaknessS of tho back and loins, pilflg, t nd ueruia, it Uie slight re-axalion of the abdominal mtuokt, uMch allowi the bowels Co sink, and fenoum by nmrked hoUoxos over the I f of tfie hint. Now all know that the linings of the stomach aro connected with those of tho throat and affect the Toctl organs, aud when tho stomach sinks « straining is brought to l>ear upon the throat, and speaking or talk-ing will i r r i u t e i t and produce hoarse-

m d " o«ntinm.a, sore throat, and all the train of evils tbtil public speakers • n w o o t t o mmpla inof , «ud which has oarriad hundreds to their graves, and w h i ^ rear lTtre laying aside as useless knndreds of e then .

Now, alter « personal experience ol •early twenty ymn, ind the added expe-neooe of more than one thousand minis-K " apon whom I w n fitted the Brace with ioTariable

I do not cbiim that the tioiy and Lung Brace will euro ovory dweaso thut ileah IH heir Ut; but it will re-lievo, whore it does not fully cure, all that great army of ilia and aclies that soon break dowti tho bout consti-tutions, which aro caused by pro-lapsus of (he mmde» which support the iiUamai orgam, Tlihi Is the only mechunicui contrivance ever dis-covered that uplifts the aliduinen ruther than cuiupru»Ka it, as all truiweH do.

This Is what it doen, M thousands who have ased it are [>repared t« testify: It supporbj the back, abdo-men, stomach, lungs and womb. It, therefore, prevents lassitude, hoarie-ness, piles, hernia, coiiBumption, and that terrible disease,—dyspetwla.

It increas«w tho breathing capacity, and therel)y gives strength to the body.

It exsiHinds and enlarges the lungs, and thus renders breathing free and easy, and thereby promotes digdstion.

It rcllevcH chronic coBtiveiMSS and piien when all other meitiu nave failed.

It Invariably rvslieves all oiutca ol prol<ip»\u ultri in females, a <lisease that no mvdiclne can reach, becaase, like a broken limb, it needs mechani-cal support.

It relievos pilea and prolapsus ani, by uplifting the lower bowels from the rectum.

It is being u8(Ki more and more yearly, as its value Is known, by )ul)lic spetikers and singers, and by hose having weak lungs and backs;

and l)y those having stooping shoui-derj and hacking coughs, {he sure precursors of consumption. And many a sufferer has been cured of dyspi/iwia and liver cunplalut who hau been considered In tho last stage of consumption.

OtIK inrBOVED UBAVE. The original Brace, mado only for

ladles, was too weak for tho sterner sex. I remedied it by an important Improvement, as the following will show: —

The Brace 1 find is of great boneflt to me. afraid It was not what It was recom-mended to be; but I was induced by my physician to get one. Shortly afterward, the church that I was a memt}er of called mo to serve them Uf pastor; and 1 accepted on tho con-dition that they should get mo a Brace. I was ontireiy broken down from over speaking. I could nol speak longer than fitteon minutes un-til I became very hoarse; but. witit the Braoo on, I can spoak with per* feet ease ono hour: atid, after 8}>eak-ing, I do not feel that unpioasantnoss at my sbomoch ttwt I did before using the Brace. I can say that the Brace Ls all that Is claimed for i t ; and I wotdd advise ail si>oakors who foel fatiguo and lassitude after siHjaking by ail means to get them a Brace, before they have to stop speaking, as I had to do. I would not bo without it for any consideration.
