•'0 thy name," lor ho docs noi hallow
"t; nor can ho honoiilly say " Thy king-
dom come," for he is nol identified with
the interest* of tho kingdom , nor can
he sincerely say. " Thy will be done,"
for il he could he would at once cease
to be an impenitent sinner
It will be inferred that I object to the
use of the Lord's prayor iu promiscuous
a.ssemblieh, Sunday schools, etc. I cer
uinly d(i When wicked men, as is
often the case, unite in iho services of
the Kpiseopal church and say, "Ou r
Father which art in heaven," etc., it is
an abomination, for it is a falsehood.
It would be well for every such man
with a sense of bis wickedness to pray,
"God be merciful lo me a sinui-r "
When Christians bow b.-fore (iod in
prayer they may with the utmo.st pro
priety and should with holy unction
say, " Our Father who art in heaven '

A Word to My Critics.
in I.EIIKUE A l,Of ni.N 1., 1..
Hrethren Ketchum, " Layman, ' and
Davidsdii have all " gone for me ' upon
the subject of " Filectinn." Brother
Ktlchum thinks the Scriptures em-
ployed in my argument for election
cuuld be made to |)ulverize the doctrine,
but he does not show bow. He argues,
like all .\rminians, that from the stand
point (if human reason and a sense of
human justice, the doctrine is absurd —
ofx'cially in the lifjht of (i jd's love and
iiicrcy All very nice, but the Script
ures declare the doctrine just as I have
ar(?u.>d the subject, only stronger than I
put them I let my reason bow before
my faith in (iod's word, and if I do not
ciimprehoDd all (Jod reveals in na'uro
or revelation that does not alter God's
Irutb
Layman (juotes from my article
on the unconditional election of the
sinner to eternal life, and then from my
book on a passage with reference to
l''elix ' procrastinating to all eternity
the salvation of his soul." lie thinks
the two statemenls paradoxical. So
thoy arc Tho Bib'e is full of para-
doxes, and I would commend to " Lay-
man " I>r Crawford's " Paradoxes,"
the best book of the kind over written.
Christ soid that the Son of man " gooth
as it was dotcroiinod of him " at tho
h'lnds of Judas, and at tho same time
said, " Woe to tho man " by whom ho
should bo betrayed. So Peter preached
that Jesus was " delivered according to
tho prodotorroinato oounsol and foro-I I ^ .1 _ ** M««#L ALATWFT NN «WI AIT A/L knowledge of God," and slain by wioked
hands. Who oan reconcile those para
dnxos 'i' Paul appealed to Felix. Ho
" trembled, " and then proorastinatod.
From tho stand point of his ohoioo and
free agenoy ho decided to postpone sal-
vation and lose otornal lifo From tho
standpoint of divine sovereignty Ood lot
him ohooHo and follow the road to death,
lie oould have aa ofTootually called and
oonverted him ai ho did Paul, but ho
did not Why, I do not know. Josui
says to all, " Co"»o unto mo," and yet
he Roya, "No man oan oomo unto him |
except il were given unto him of my Father." This is a paradox.
Brother Davidson oomes at mo again
upon the same old line—his opinion
lhat Calvinism militates against the
oharac'or of God. and, therefore, can
not be true. This is an assumption of
human rea'ion. The best way to dis-
prove my arguments is to take up the
Scriptures by which I proved the doc
trine and disprove election by the word
of (Jod. .Many things in revelation and
nature seem to militate, in the light of
man's feeble intellect, against the char-
acter of (Jod So infidels reason. These
rationalistic assumptions prove nothing.
" To the law and to the testimony A
" thus sailh the Lord " is worth a thou-
sand assumptions I refer the reader
to the Scriptures and to my arguments
upon them with reference to God's de-
crees and elective grace, and when the
Bible sp. aks let every man be a liar, if
he speaks to tho contrary.
.\s to infants I stated that the in-
ference is clear from the Scriptures
that they are all saved if they die in
infancy, therefore they are all elect who
thus die. Moreover, I said that we do
not accept all of Calvinism, espeoially
with reference to infant baptism, ohnroh
government, etc., but Baptists do ac
cept in all their confessions of faith
the Calvinistic view of salvation by
grace and that grace is elective. I
take it that Brethren Davidson,
Ketchum, and " Liyman," to this ex-
tent. are not Bap'ists —and this lacks
being Baptists t j a very large degree,
unless you count Free will BiptistB as
Baptists. All our standard theological
authors such as Dagg. Boye', Strong,
Hovey, and others are Calvinistic to
tho core. So of all our theological
seminaries and teachers of auf note or
character so far a.s mv knowledge goes.
Spurgeon, Bunyan, Elall, Andrew Ful-
ler, and all our educated and promi
nent preachers of to-day, and of the
past belong to tho Calvinistic, Augus-
tine, or Pauline school. All tho load
ing reformers wore Calvinistic, and tho
grandest names who have ever graced
the pages of Christian history were
Calvinistic in thoir views of salvation
by graoo. I stand on solid Protostant
and Baptist ground.
" I Pray Thee, Have Me Cxcuied."
Wo fail to got oredit for a groat many
things we do, simply booauBo we did not
state definitely beforehand that we ^ o
going to do them. You see the people
are apt to think that it was purely ao-
eidoDtal. That the BaptistB of Tonnes
see may got all the honor for what they
do, I wish to submit the following pre-
amble and roBolutions to oaeh ohuroh
and Assooiation Id the State andi^lRO
to tho State Convention, knd, should
the plan work well, I might be induced
to submit it to the Southern Baptist
Convention. Wo are losing far too
much by not publishing beforfhand all
of our purposes and designs. Ofoourso,
each ohnroh or Assoelatiiii majr obange
at their pleasure or strike out or add to
or modify to suit their own particular
ideas. As I claim no originality in the
I matter, I shall not apply for a copy-
right, and they may copy and indorse
I the whole as the expression of their
views so far as I am concerned ;
I Inasmuch as wo (the members of
church or Association, as the case may
{ be), desire above all things the ease,
I peace, and-the increase of Zion, and tn-
I asmuch as we are determined to do all
' things in our power to add to our num-
bers and to bold all the members wc
, now have on our rolls ; therefore, be it
Rt^Mtlvnl. 1, That we will excuse all
of our members who desire to be ex-
, cused: (1) From attending prayer-
meeting , (2) From attending or taking
part in Sunday school; (3) From at-
tending the regular services of the
church, (4j From family worship; (5)
From studying the Scriptures; (Ci
From buying or reading Baptist papers,
books or tracts ; (7) From aiding or pat-
ronizing Baptist schools ; (8) From pay-
ing their part of the pastor's salary ; (9)
From bearing their part of the church
expenses ; (10) From praying or speak-
ing for the pastor; (11) ^ o m bearing
the burdens of others ; (12) From con-
tributing to Associational Missions;
(IH) Fr>)m contributing to Sute Mis-
sions; (H) From contributing to Home
Missions; (15) From contributing to
Foreign Missions; (16) From contrib-
uting to ministerial education; (17)
From contributing to indigent minis-
ters , (18) From earnestly contending
for the faith.
2 That we will permit our members
(1) To attend fairs ; (2) To attend balls
or theaters or shows ; To attend the
races , (4) To take a social glass with a
friend, (.5) To speak disparagingly of
each other; (6) To meet or pass each
other without speaking at all.
3. (I I That we will recognize minis-
tors of all other denominations as if
they were our own ; (2) That wo will
recognize all other denominations, in-
cluding tho Young Men's Christian As-
sooiation, etc., as ohurehos or branches
of tho ohuroh of Jesus Christ, and their
ordinations, ordinances, offioers, ote., as
ual with our own; (3) That for the
lake of peaeo wo will compromise all
ictrines or theories that oan uot be
hWt i ly acceded to by others; (4) And,
finely, we will so modify and explain
a ^ ^ h ange our doctrines and practices
as to agree with all those who differ
from us in either.
Of course, if any of our own brethren
should diff r from these liberal views,
and should have the boldooss to express
thoir views, we would stop our ears,
shut our eyes, and oonsolc ourselves
with tho fact that they aro only egotis-
tioal, hide•^ound old fogies anyway.
What say you brothren ? Yours io lovo
and to advise. W. H. SMITH.

Brother Porter argued that the bap
t i fm admiDi t lered by J o h n and en
joined in the commi^8ion WOK entirely
dilferent from tbu-ie Jewish ceremonial
purifyii)#jN. fur that Jo l i n went r ight on
baptiziUK Jewish convert»<. as al-o did
the apostles.
l i rothor Porter, with earne-tness and
force, tiled a n niber of ubjectioos to in
fant bapt ism, such a^
1 It reverso the irder of the cum
mission
•J 1( it should become general it
would HUpplant believers b i p l i sm , the
baptism expressed in the eomuiission
and practiced in the aposttilic age as tar
as the record jfoer. to show.
I)r Ditz ler argued that infants were
in i-ovenant relation with ( jod that ,
though they were not in the Methodis t
church yet they were in the church of
( lod , and , therefore, were ent i i led to
baptism
Brother Porter argued that the new
coveuaut—the cov. nant of grace—
writes the law in the heart, which cou ld
not be true of in 'an ls , that they i nvan
iibly grow up sinners, and must be con
vcrt<Ml, then they for thennelves may
join the church and be bapiiz-d . that
baptism is the answer of A good con
science.
Second proposit ion " Immers ion is
the bapt ism Carist commanded and
that was practiced in the apostolic age. '
Brother Porter jdanted h imsel f sijuare-
ly on the Bible , he in«ist. d that Dr. D i t
zler meet him on the Book Ho said tha t
immerBion was required by the proper
rendering of the words of the commis-
sion which constitutes as they agreed,
the only law we have for bapt iz ing any
body.
Dr. Ditzler, in his reply,charged King
Jamofl' tranfllatorB with great ignorance
and strong sympathy witfi inimcrsioD
He ondoavorod to moot tho "much wa
tor " argument by donying that it takes
muoh water to immorso, and here ho
made tho chArge apon immerBionistfl
that they took Bethany out of tho Biblo
and put in Bothabara.
O f oouTBo, Dr. Ditzlcr undertook to
make a display of his learning by read-
ing from his Byriao and many a musty
so called version, but whon Brother
Porter brought tho light of modern
oritioism to boar upon them, tho dust
and fog disappeared, and his propoai-
tinn only appoarcd the stronger, and
Baptists rrjoioed tho more in their bap-
ti(>m, and sprinkling, in the minds of
many Methodists, w u of doubtful au-
thority. Tho disoussion of this ques-
tion continued thrco days, and on this,
Dr. Diii lor made his strongeRt flght, but

Me spent his whole hour in an on
deavor to sustain this proposit ion.
I l eappca l i d to the Scr iptures usual ly
relied upon to sustain tlwi doctr ine ad
vocated. l i e <ronoeded that the govern
ment of the Methodist church w,is not
sustained by any I'xpress K-riptura!
teitching, but that it was not aniagonis
tic to the sjiirit of the Bi[)le, and that
its wisdom w.is indicate i by the fact
that it worked well
Brother Porter, in his first reply,
completely demol ished the |>(>sitions
taken and argued by I>r l>itzler His
arguments were pointed, str ik ing, and
effective, and so, in all bis replies, on
thin proposit ion, insisting that as one of
the doctrines was apostasy, il it was
practiced fa i thfu l ly t he church would
soon cea.se t i be
Fourth and tinal proposii ini i " The
teachings and iiructice.s of the .Mis.'-ioii
ary Baptist c h u r i b arc in nccorddiice
with the Bible
Brother Porter argued that B ipt is t
teachings and the Bib le agree iii a c r
sonally regenerate church membersh ip
l i e showed that the Scr ip tures au ' l ior
r/.ed in the ministr,. ojily bishops, or
pa.-tors, and evangelist-, and tlii-M- weri
not placed over one another ai i Jer o ,IIIH
or vows .such as prevail ID the uii-.cripf
ural ordi rs of the .Methodist ii i inislry
He showed with tel l ing etl'ect how the
independence an J prominence of local
churches in the .New Testament find
their counterpart in modern Baptist
churches
Dr Ditz 'er argued that the B ip t i s t
church government was a uiob x racy,
that we had no way of r idd ing ourstlves
of bad men in the m in i s t ry—and here
he cast some unk i nd reflections upon
the moaal churacter of our ministers
whose reputat ions have been wi thout
the slightest su-piciun I t did seem
that t h roughou t the deb i t e two tli ngs
were studiously avoided by Dr Ditz ler ,
namely, the Bib le and the .Methodist
church discii)line.
Dr Ditzler came boastful ly up >n the
field. His brethren wore disposed to
taunt the Baptists in view of their
dreadfu l prospective defeat. The first
day had not closed till the Baptists wore
more than satisfied with results, and
buoyant with the hope of complete vie
tory for the t ru th .
Dr. Ditzlcr is a debater of long and ^
variod experience. l ie is widely read !
on Christian polemics, but hu is too
boastful to win intelligent popular sym
pathy. Brother Porter is tall and
commanding in appearanoc, has a clear,
strong voice, and bocomos musical as
ho warms up with his subjoot. By his
untiring industry in study and his groat
zeal for tho oauso of truth ho has won
tho Christian lovo, sympathy, and ad
miration of tho Biptists in this part of
Qod's moral vineyard, both as a debater
and a wonderfully suocosWul minister.
Ood is greatly blessing his labors
throughout this l*ogion, as, also, at his
own O (ronton ohureh.
As one of the results of tho Now
Columbus debato there will bo a Bap
tist ehureh organiiod on August 20
under favorable and flattering auspieos,
after which Brother Porter will oon-
duot a protracted meeting, so that the
Baptists feel that tho debate resulted
in a great victory for our prinoiples, and
that auder Ood'we owa^ muoh to tho

I " the church Pastor M D Karly, of

and our people were much pleased with
bun, both as a man and as a minister
He believes that our distinctive doc
brines shou ld be preached in these meet
ings, and such |)rcachine seemed to bo^
followed by good results in this case,
and being him-clf a pastor and knowing
what it is to have a cjuantity ol unre
generate material put into a church , he
is cotnmendably eautioufl in regord to
this mol ier He appears to bo very
much more concerned about the qual i ty
of the matorial brought in under his
preaching ihnn about the (|uan ity of il.
In this ho is wise, and if this policy had

bo much purer and stronger than they

Dots by the Way.
This scribe has just returned from a
trip 10 Willeite, Macon county, Tonn ,
where a Week was spent assisting Pas-
tor W, II Smiih in a meeting. The
trip was indeed a pleasant ono to mo ;
and a gocd nwoting was tho result.
But I desire to speak more particularly
of the surroundings. Willctto is tho
location of Willotto- Academy. A
school for tho education of both sexes,
owned and controlled by Now Salem
and Eoon Associations of Biptists and
is now under the supervision of Dr.
John Washburn, former president of
ICwing College, Illinois. The name of
Washburn is suffioiont guarantee for tho
prosperity of this school.
Wtllfftto ofFiirs iwotillar advantages
to young mon and ladieB,cBpcoiMlly thoso
of limited means, seeking an odueation.
I t is strangely located. There are
! eight crooks that head within a short
: distance of tho place, and five or six of
! them within a few hundred yards. 8o
you see that no water thero can tirry
long. Pure f'roo-stono water abouoda.
Where three years ago was n j village
now is a new little villige of twenty-one
residences and one hundred inhabitants,
and business houses enough to supply
all needs. In tho ccnter is th<* group
composed of the Baptist church, school
building, and school boarding houso.
The Liter will accommodate thirty
pupils, and terms low. Pastor W. EI.
Smith is bishop at this placo, and vtoll
does ho preside, and groat is the estecn
in which his breihron hold him. l ie
received a call to a work in Oregon
during our mi>eting, but I would in-
form Brother Pruitt that he had bettor
mind how he meddles with our Tennes-
see preaobers, especially such as Brother
Smith. We can't let him go.
Long will pleasant memories cluster
around Willette. A better people I
nevcr^aw. They arc reidy for every
good word and work.
IjATea.—A card from B-other Smith
informs me that the mee'ing still con
tinues with unabated interest.
I will give you some more dots soon.

SucceutuI Meetings.
On yesterdry'we closed a series of
meetinirs of ten days with Locust (irove
churcn, .Vlabama The meetings were
of unusual interest and resulted in
thirty one additions to the church,
twenty eight of the number hv baptism.
Twenty-three were baptized at one
time in F l n t River It was a grand
occasion. Though on a week day, the
crowd wa.s large. A large proportion
' of the additions were young men, and
will, we believe, be useful workers in
' the cause of Christ. Three of the num
ber were additions to the New Market
church.
Our meeting" were preceded by a se-
I rics of meetings at Rice's school house,
j conductcd by Brethren Rodon and
I Parker. This is a recruiting station
about midway between the two churches.
Twelve of the number baptized pro-
fessed in this meeting Besides tho
number mentioned thero wore several
professions, some of whom have or will
unite with other detmminations, and
others will join ono or other of the two
Baptist churohos. At both plaoos men-
tioned the brethren have maintained
regular weekly prayer-meetings and
Sunday schools. A t tho church the
Sunday school is in the morning and at
the school bouse in tho afternoon. They
that sow may expect to reap
Brethren Parker and Rodon arc now
working for a short time as missionaries
in tho Liberty Association. They are
earnest laborers. Brother Roden was
in school in New Market during tho
last scholastic year an f proached onoo
a mcmth at Rico's school house Tho
brethren will put him in Howard Col-
logo next session.
In tho meetings at Loeust Orove I
was aided by I I R. Schramm, Baptist
pastor, at Bcllbucklo, Tenn Ho joinrd
mr on Monday ovooing and preached
twiee every day, exooptiog one sermon,
during the whole sorios. Ho is a strong,
earnest, faithful proaohor, and does not
" shun to deolaro tho whole oouusol of
Qod." He won for himself goldon
opinions from tho ohuroh and the oom-
muoity as a faithful, oonsGonited, Of-
fieioDt laborer, a« ho will over do with
all pastors and people whoro he may
preaoh io protraotcd meet lnp. Tbtt

Moral Education.
HV PROK .1 N III YY In the oonsideralion ol this iiuestion
we should clearly understand two thmtrs, aamely, difference between soul and mind, if any, and what it is to educate We are told the soul is the spiritual part of Doan A^ain. the soul is all but the material, or corporeal |>art of man Take from man his mind and vou loavi-him a pure animal—corporeal in all his parts. Hence we conclude that the mind and soul of man are identical When we educate the mind of man we educate the soul, therefore all cduca tion is soul education.
It is an erroneous idea that we can educate the mind of man and not edu cate the soul. There are only two parts, two natures, two tendencies in man One of these parts is the animal nature, which tends downward. The other is the spiritual, the intellectual, the god like nature Hecau.se we are animals we love to eat and drink, to i n d u c e our appetites, passions, and lu.'its. As ani mala we form the habits of using to bacco, »troDg drink, and other things hurtful to our physical natures. As animals wo love to herd together at grand banquets, scarcely ever noticing the orators of the occasion. The same thing calls for ice-cream suppers to raise money for our churches, arranges for the l ioentioas dance and midnight carousal. T h e same principle urges us to make and accumulate money for our own gratification.
The other part, the godlike part of our natare, crave something higher, is not satisfied with this life and looks to a Supreme Being. It makes us socially incliaod, it makes us lovers of j,bo beaatiful in art and nature, and tells us to look upward for our pleasures. It ahowB us that to make money and enjoy ourselves is not all, not the great half of living, but that wo should help our fellow man, lift ^p the fallen, cheor the faint, and protect the down-trodden. With this idea of life and edueation it is a simple matter to solve the moral part of education. We are to curb the animal part and incite and excite the spiritual. It is an impossibility to cul-tivate the intellect and lo^ve the moral nature dormant. We eduoate either for good or bad. Wo make the ohild hotter of worse. We lead him to a higher life and point him to flolds of USOAIIOCBS, or wo load him to f>oll-gratiQoation and point him to the plaoe whoro famo and money are abundant, and honor un-known. Thero is no middle ground, and parent* who aro lullod to sloop with tho idea that thoir children aro being edu-otted to • high degree intolleotually, by (mmonl men, Qr b^ men who pUiiQ (o

It has been said that there was a sur vival of the fittest m the animal world Whether th IS be true or not. thero is evidently a survival of tho sironKtrst The strongest lawyer receives the most im ortant oases, the stronifest work man performs the most work and re ceives the most pay; the strongest (best) farmer makes the host wheat and corn, raises the finest cattle and horses ; the strongest minister from some stand-ing point, receives the host pulpit , and tho strongest candidate roceivos the most votes. One man roccives the I office by having several others lose it and so it is in all the walks of life, strong men push to the front and the weaker must go to the rear ; strong men rise and tho weak must fall and serve as foot steps upon which others c l imb to eminence.
This boinK true, and no right minded person can doubt it, we should develop tho powers of tho child by active ex-ercise of all tho faculties, until tho max imum degree of powor has boon roaohod. These are fundamental truths, se l f evi dent propositions.
One point further. Our objoct is to take boys and girls and make mm and women. Can it be done in the same sehool? It oanif thoir mental powers can be developed in the same sohooi. Must they study the same toxt-books ? Yes, if tho study of algebra and geome-try will make tho boy a stronger man, tho study of those samo studios will mako tho girl a stronger woman. This idea broadens out and out, but I must oloso with this oonolusion: Education is the development of body and BOUI. In the oaro of ooihpotont moral, God fearing teaohera, children will he MADK DBTTIII, othorwiie we are to c^ipoot the briUiint, .how viUiin. ^

.'!. There is work for us in the families of the church. There are converted mothers and daughters who need to be taught the way of tho Lord more per foctly, and to bo trftinod in whatever is nocessary for their full development into lively members of tho great house-hold of faith.
4. There is a work of evangelization among women similar to that being done by men among tho people at largo. It is not elaimod that the evangelization of women can not bo done at all by men, hut that thero is moro of it than men can do. There is muoh of it that will nover be done unless womon do it, and muoh that men can not do as well as women can. There is nothing in this kind of work transecnding tho reoog-ni>!od scriptural sphere of women. Womon received from the Lord himsolf upon the very morning of the resur-reotion their commission to toll the bloBsed story of a risen Bavior. What they did then wo may continue to do now.
But you will ask, who aro needed for this work ? Knowing the conditions of life and work in China, wo would an-swer that:
1. They should be women of lound heajlh, of good »bility, and good ooip-
mon sense, also well eduuutud—though not nooessurily of the highest education —apt lo teach, kind and forbearing in disposition, s(l that thoy may live and work harmonioUMly together with their associates and win the huartM of the Chinese. Above all. they should bo women who have given thomsolves wholly to tfie Lord's work, and are pre pared to bear hardship and oxereise con stant self denial lor (Mirist's t>ake.
It is desirable that they should pursue a systemutic course of Mible study before (*oming to China, and have
' some experie nce in Chnstniu work at liiime.

About Unity.
In a recent article Mrother T W. Voung spe ks in reference to Christian unity, in which article he takes the position that there can not bo any siich thing as ehurcfi unity hut that there can be Christian unity He thinks that the Lord's prayer for unity has been answered in thai there is Christian unity among all who profess to be Christians, but that in that prayer the Lord did not embrace church or or ganic unity I protest against Brother V o u n g s views I think tho Lord jtrayed for unity among his people in faith,
practice, and church relationship. Any other kind of unity, in my opinion, would not be unity at all It would be u farce, a burlesque upon the idoa of unity. If there can not bo organic unity among tho Lord's people thon tho claim to Baptist succossion is nothing better than a hoax. If tho Lord has not had a people in tho world over s ince he loft it who were united in faith, practice, and as to organization, thon I, for ono, am will ing to say ho has had no people at all in the world.
1 am thoroughly satisfied that tho Lord's prayer has boon answorod in every roHpoet, and I think that the main idoa of that prayer was that h is people might be
ono organically, or else tho world could not be oonvinood of that which he desired that it should. 1 must believe in tho organic unity of tho Lord's people or else bo an infidel. When I placc the Lord's prayor along side of the parable of the Urcs I think I can see what ho desired in one and taught in the other. Lot tho Lord s people bo ono every way. If such a be-lief falls heavily upon some people let them get out of the way. They have no right to be whoro tho fforipturo oon-demna them. The idoa of Christian unity aside Irom organic unity is extra-scrip. ural. I t has nothing to sustain it in the Soriptures.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Ford's Christian Repository.
The .Vugust number of this old and valuable monthly comes to as with an unusual rich table of contents. " Monkey .\ncestry," from the pen of tho editor ( Dr. Ford) is a peculiarly fe-licitous presentation of the five iiues-tions that must be answered before the hypothesis of evolution can rise to the dignity of a theory. No man has ever answered these ijucstions, and no man ever will wo opine. " Human Ability," by Ilov (r. S. llayson, of New York, and " Regeneration," by W. P. Ben-nett, should be studied by those known among us as hyper-Calvinists and Anti-nomians, who are also " lie regenera-tionistA." The writer cfi^eetually pricks this bubble.
W e can hut reaffirm our recommenda-tion of this our only Baptist monthly to our ministers and would-be intelligent laymen. Price, $2 50.
I low many churches will the Campbellitos have when tho census is concludod. In somo States thoy call thomsolves a " Movomont," in others " T h e Christian church," in othors " Tho church of Christ, ' in othorH, " Tho Disciples," in Htfll oth-orB, " Tho church of God," while in fact thoy aro nnd over will bo tho most univorBally and truly known UH " CampbollitoB," or " DisciploB of Mr. Campboll." Tho Christian Standard, thoir s tandard papor, id dooply troubled about this matter. Thoy Hhould agroo on a namo that iB not an insult to ovory othor de-nomination, and all will ohoorfull}' accord it to them, but novor will thoy accord to thorn thg ni^mc, '< Tho Ohrlsti^n church,"

Dudley Warner says: " T h e 'mind cure' retjuircs no faith, and the 'faith cure,' don't require any mind." We can not improve on this definition.

.'Vnswor lo:t2—Tbe Methodists, and all wbo trust in their own righteousness in part or in whole for salvation, are deeply anxious to make out Judas a re-generated man, a genuine ohild of Ood, in order to establish what they regard as their peculiar privilege—that is, to apostatize and perish. What Christ evidently meant when he called Judas a devil was that on tbe day he selected
j bim to be an apostle, a familiar friend in whom he trusted his character and
' all his secrete. Judas was an unregen-erated man in heart—a devil—an adver-sary. Christ had an all wise purpose
: in choosing such a man or he would not I have done so. He has not seen fit to
tell US what tbat purpose was, and a heart subjected to the will of " the Anointed One " will not question the wisdom of his act. W&s it not that Christ might have at his final trial the testimony of an enemy to esublish his innocence of both blasphemy and trea-son ? J udas, who betrayed him, did
I leave his testimony on record that he had betrayed a man innocent of all the charges brought against him, and Judas
j had been treated as an intimate friend and intrusted with all his secrets.

Answer 11133—We Baptista have no such custom, neither have the ehurchea of Christ. The church that allows this forfeits all her claims to be a Baptist church.

Answer 1034—Show him a passage of Scripture in the New Testament that justifies denominational %sommanion, and if she can not, let her quit the un-scriptural practioe. This reminds us of another case very like unto it. An elder in a Presbyterian eharch was re-proved by his pastor because he would not allow his infants to be sprinkled. The pastor gravely informed him that the ohureh would be compelled to de-pose him from his offiee unleu he com-plied with the " rules of the ehuroh." The elder replied, " I will moat eheer-fally do so if yon will show me either a precept or an example in the New Testament for infant baptism, and if you ean not do this I ahall unite with the Baptists." He oould not do it, of oourse, and lost his elder. Should not Baptists be able to show a positive pre-cept, or at least a plain example, as a war-rant for both their faith and praotioe or repudiate and diseontinue them ?

Bethel Association.
This body lies mostly in Ken t ucky ,
hut un i i l this year it has been com
posod also of some six or eight churches
in Tennessee Nearly all o f these,
however, obta ined letters last week to
join the Cumber l and Association in
Tennessee. The Bethel is in the rich
counties of Chr is t ian , Todd , and Logan
of southern Ken tucky I t embraces
suoh churches as those of Hopkins-
ville, Russel lvi l le, Pembroke . Ada i r
ville, and others, and includes Bethel
Male and Fema le Colleges. I t met •h is
year at Ada i rv i l l e There seemed to
he a good representat ion present. Dr .
J N Clardy was elected moderator. H e
is the la ther in law of Rev. J . N .
Prestridge, is president of the Farmer's
Al l iance of Ken t ucky , and is a prob-
able candidate for governor of the
State. Rev ,1. (J Bow, the popu lar and
efliciont pastor at Russel lv i l lo , was
"elected clerk. Tho in t roductory ser
mon was preaohed by Rev. B. W . Neal .
Preaohing seemed to be a special
feature of the Associat ion O tho r ser-

Altogether the Association was an ez-
oeeduigly pleasant and profitable ono, harmonious and full of activity. I t was greatly interrupted on the last day by a very hard, regular Baptist Association rain.

Mrs. Weston's Lesson.
Mrs. Wes t on was t ho rough l y vexed ,
and indeed she h ad some cause for her
i r r i t a t i on . The ladies of the c h u r c h
had organ ized a mission c irc le and were
m u c h interested in the work . J u.st
now they were t ry ing to raise money to
educa te a young hea then girl
W e s t o n was one of the most act ive
members o f the circle, and on one of
the commi t t ees o f wh ich she wa.s cha i r
man was ano t he r lady who h&d the un
fo r tuna te r epu t a t i o n of m a k i n g t r oub l e
wherever she was.
" I knew f r om the first j u s t how it
wou l d be i f they pu t .^Irn. I ' o t te r on
any c o m m i t t e e ! " Mrs. W e s t o n had
said to her h u sband th is mo rn i ng .
" S h e a lways interferes and does some
t h i ng she has no business to. T h e n
she w i l l i n va r i ab l y shirk all the hard
work , b u t when i t is dune she comes to
the f r on t a n d g ives outs iders t he im-
pression t h a t she d id it al l . T h a t is
wha t she is do i ng now, b u t I wi l l not
s tand i t any longer . I sha l l send her a
note th i s m o r n i n g and tell her Just
w h a t I t h i n k of it . I f she gives m e
any mo re t r o ub l e I sha l l resign. '
" I know she must bo very trying,
Lottie," said Mr. Weston, sympatheti
oally, " but do n't say any thing you will
be Borry for afterward."
Somehow her husband's words rather
troablod Mrs. Weston. " llobcrt is al-
Wftyi 80 particular," she said to herself
aa she wont about her work ; " but I
think I am porfootly justifled in speak-
ing plainly, and I am going to. She
will find she can not run over mo in
this fashion any longer." Accordingly,
ailor hor morning's work was done, Mrs.
Weston soatod horsolf at hor desk, pen
in hand, to write. But just as sho was
abonti to begin, her daughter Lu lu
passed through the hall singing,
T ike my hands and let them move
A t the impulse of thy love.
M n . Weston's pen slipped from hor
fingers; the words were familiar to her;
it WM a favorite song of Lulu's, but
pecial mcHMuge to her W a s the impu lse , greatest p leasure will be in r emember
wh i ch wa« p romp t i ng her now born of ing t ha t you d id all in your power to
hi» love '.' W o u l d the .Master be pleased pu t a song under every bu rden to make
w i th thin work o f her hand^ ' W o u l d eueh o ther happy .—-1/ / " / "y
no t this Hole make a bad mat ter worse '
I Take my hands and let t hem move
.\l the impu lse of thy love.
Mow the words repeated themselves
over and over to her, and as they rang
in her ears a gent ler , tenderer feeling
crept in to her heurl It was the Mas
ter s work ihey were d o i n g , why cou ld
tliey not do it in un i ty of purpose and
Mpint '.'" .\nd i f they really cou ld not ,
if the work only prospered, d i d it make
any special difference if she was a l i t t le
tr ied and |>erhups had to see anot l ier re
ceive undue credit' . ' The more KIIC

Wes ton said the word i to liersel?
th is t ime, her eye.-* over f lowing wi th
tears and ln r head buwed Then she
look up her pen and wrote her note, but
II wa.H veiy d i f fer int Irotii what she had
firrt in tended it to be I t wa.- a tender
plea that they two tnii;lit work together

niou-iy The result surpr ised her ex
I ceedi i ig 'y. Ha rd l y an hour after she
: tent her note there came back a reply
^Irs Wes ton opened it t r emb l i nc l y ,
fearing lest even her k ind feelings had
been mi.-iunderstood. and thi.* was what
she read " Dear Fr iend ^ our k i nd
note is received. I t h a nk you more
than I c m tell you for it. I d id not

Mrs . Weston s head dropped once
more on her desk. " I am not worthy ,

I stood in a store, the o ther day . when
a boy c ame in and a|>pliod for a situa-

" C a n you wr i te a good hand '' " was
asked.
" Yaas "
" (Jood at figuroH?"
" Yaas . •
" K n o w the c i ty we l l ? '
" Y a a s . "
"Tha t will do—I do n't want you,"
said the merchant.
" But ," I said, when the boy had
gone, " I k now that' lad to ho an honest
industrious boy. Why dd n't you give
him a ohanoo?"
" Beoauso he has n't learned to say
' Yes, sir,' and ' No, sir.' I f ho answers
mo as he did when applying for a situa
tion, how will he answer oustomors aft-
er being hero a month ? "
What could I say to that? Ho had
fallen into a bad habit, young as ho was,
which turned him away from the first
situation ho had applied for. — " J /

UV OEOBUE A M)KTON, D I)
"An Honost Inquiror " alludes to uiy articlcB rooeDily published ID the BAP-
T I S T A N D R E F L I C T O B O D what ho calls " oteroal elootion, ordiDation, and pro-destination," and thon asks Dr. Graves to explain Acta xiii. 48: "As many as wore ordained to eternal life believed," ' in harmony with his position tha t Ood
never arbitrarily coerces the moral vo litinns of men."
Tho implication is that what I have written upon the doctrine of election, and in the u»e of Acts xiii. 48, involved a coprcivo theory. I have never hinted at such an idea Election is in perfect harmony with the freedom of man's will, and God has never ooerced a man i i ^ faith or salvation. God works at both ends of the line of redemption. Ho ordains the means to the end and morally effects the results. By his Hpirii and his word ho effectually gets tho oonsent of tho sinner to be saved, even against his former will ; but he does not drag him to heaven by thf tba i r of his head, al though he gota him there all tho samo. I have never held to an unconditional salvation. p]lection is sovereign, unconditional, personal, and eternal unto salvation ; but salvation is made actual, but not virtual, upon the conditions of repentancc and faiih, su pcriodueed by G j d s Spirit and word, and exercised by the believer in of feotual eailing.
Dr. Graves' reply and explanation to " Honest Inquirer " is peculiar:
1 He says that God is sovereign in the salvation of the sinner, and he cites John iii. 8 in proof: " The wind bloweth where it listeth—pleas'jth . . . . so is every one that is born of the Spirit . ' Gi)odl But he says also that the sinner is sovereign and not eo-orcible. If so, how is he sub-ject under law and under the eon demnation of justice ? A lam in his perfection was not a i^overeign, as re latod to God, and tho totally dopraved, dead, alienated sinner—whoso carnal mind is a t enmity against God, and not subject to his law, neither can be—is oommanded to ropent, believe, or bo damned. Ho is " already eondemned " The Christian alone is a king and a priest unto Qod, partaking of tho sov-ereignty of Ohrist, in whom ho is eon templated ; ba t still, as related to Qod, ho is tho subjoot of divine government, M was Adam.
2. Dr. Oravos gives a peeoliar inter-preution of Acts xiii. 48. Ho trans-lates heetan Maffmenoi " disposed," in tho S0090 of being " inclined." Tho original is from tho Orook tauo— to arrange, sot in order, ap-point, ordain, dispose, aoeording to Appointment, or arrangemont. Tho Latin version ronders tho expression erant ordinati woro ordained whioh gives exaotly the sense of tho Oroek word, from the Latin ordino, the n m e ufauo. Tho Latin Vulgate rendered it trani prtordinati, ozproMing tho im-
plied sense of tho Greek term as mian ing preordination. The Arabic puts it ordained, and the Syriac, appointed unto eternal life. The Uto Canterbury version, like the King James version, rendered it "ordained," while Dr Conant follown the Syriac vorsion and translates Magm-noi, " appointed. " " A s manv as ware ordiined, or ap pointed, or preordained, unto eternal life believod, is tho sense of tho ver sions, anoioot and modern, and repre-senting the best scholarship of the present and past airos, Greek, Latin, Arabic. Syriac. and English
The Greek verb tano is a transitive verb, and is used here in the past tense and pissivo voice ; and it is clear that the action expressed is external to those who passively believed. They were not dis posed by any motives of their own, nor even bj' the grace of God, so far as this toxt was eoncerned. Of course the Holy Spirit moved them, as they believed the truth and were animated by gracious mo-tives, but trtagnu-uoi is never used to express motives, nor internal disposi-tion, nor wiih, nor inoliaation. T h e Greek work boulonoi is used for this
' purpose, while taato is a word which exproiises determination and arrange
I ment even where its aotion is expressed as terminating by volition upon one's
I self In the very passage cited by Dr. Graves (1 Cor. xvi. 15) etiixan is utod
j to show that Stephanas and his house devoted, addicted, set ap i r t , ordained themselves—not disposed in themselves ex opt by appointment—to tho ministry. xSo in the UNO of tho sam i word, as in Acta XV. 2. rtaxiin, ' determined ; " Acts xxii. 10. tetaxtoi, " a p p o i n t e d ; " Acts xxviii. 23 taxanu-noi, " having ap pointed "—the very u-tage of Luke. I have searched, so far in vain, through Greek lexioons and Greek passages to find one single inttanoo in whioh ta»$o is used to express disposition in the sonso of motive, wish or inclination in an individual. Dr. Gill on this passage demonstrates oonelasivoly that suoh an interpretation is not only pcouliar, ho t impossible from the very meaning and UHuage of the word tetagmenoi.
Of course Ctlvinists havo no trouble interpreting tho passage. Acts xiii. 48 They Uke the passage in the plain moaning and primary sense of the words, and they construe it in perfect harmony with the doctrines of elootive grace and predestination and fore 0 nation. Lange clearly observes thit (etagmeuoi can not bo made to have any other moaning than that those converted in the text were thus appointed, ordered, ordained to eternal life; and he shows, from the oontfxt, that it was tho design of Luke to de-clare here tho sovoreigaty and divine direction of Ood. Armlnlans, like Adam Olarko, Hammond, Wolfe, Ro-senmullor, Sohoottgen, Whitby, Pearoe^ and others, long ago promalgated the theory of internal ditpoiition m tho cause or ground of faith. Bloomfleld, Alfbrd, and others, like Barnes, hare hold th»t those believera wore disposed
by the Holy Spirit to fai th; and while tho doctrine of election and predestina-tion might bo inferred from the teach-ing of the text, it was not directly Uught. So Dr. Graves holds; but tho interpretation both of the Arminians and moderate Calvinists is fatally over-thrown in tho light of all tho versions and in tho light of the only moaning which can be given to Utngmenoi— namely, were ordained, or appointed, to eternal life, and that, therefore, they believed. This proves wha\ I have argued before, that salvation by grace is the gilt of election, or ordination ; and moreover that faith, which is the condi tion of salvation, is the effect of elec-tion or ordination—not election or ordi-nation the effect of faith. G >d elects the sinner, not the sinner G j d . We love him because he first loves us ; and Jesus has well declared the doctrine when he said : " I have chosen you ; ye have not chosen me."
T b i State Board of Mluioas aad Suaday-ickooli Waat Year Atteatloa.
At the meeting of the State Conven tion at Columbia, in 1888. the State Board was requested to plan the work for the next year on a basis of ten thou-sand dollars. The board doubted the wisdom of suoh a course and did not do it, but when tho request was repeated last year at Humboldt , the board ft It that they could no longer decline, and planned the work for tho present year aeeordingly. But resignations and changes from other causes will probably bring the total amount required to about nine thousand five hundred dollars. Of this amount we have received (August 30th) $5,206 81, leaving $4 293 19 to bo raised between now and the Convention to pay all missionaries to the end o Oetober, We roeeived in this period last year $2 365.28 The debt is not very much larger than it was at this time last year, but the falling off in the receipts for the month Just closing is discouraging. We havo roeeived only $700 as against $1 025 54 last August whereas if we had kept up our ratio o gain wo would have received, $1,235, whioh would have placed matters in a very different shape and would have been an inspiration for future work. As it is, the collections are $465 greater than at this time last year, notwithstand-ing the falling off in August.
Wo are confronted with the fa6t that tho Oonvontion is only six weeks off and (hat Wo must oome together at Chattanooga with a largo debt to dis-courage us. or we must go to work like true soldiors of (ho Cross and raise (ho money and pay off our missionaries, and thon oome together at Chattanooga in suoh a frame of mind as will oauae (he meeting to ho felt throughout the State and will render (ho raising of ten (hou-sand dollars next year a oompara(ively easy matter.
Brethren, will you not give (he next bii W8«kf W Wo lc and prayer for mis-sions ? Pastors, toll your people (heir
duty and exhort them to the disoharge of that duty I Laymen, let your heart become warmed wiih a desire to spread the gospel, and let your denomina tional pride become aroused, and then you will give your money and ask others to give. If there are a number of brethren in the State who could give more than they ordinarily do, say one hundred, or seventy five, or fifty del lars each, there has probably not been a time in their lives when that money could accomplish more for the Lord than just now. The time is too short for you to wait for a meeting of the church, but if you feel moved to the work begin at once. Don' t wait for somebody else to begin. Ai first blush yon may think the amount large, but remember there are one hundred thou sand Baptists in Tennessee,and thon ask God to forgive your doubling.
Brethren, the emergency is on us, and if we are in the right spirit we can so meet it that after the struggle has passed we will rejoice and thank God that it came.

Hoaoring the Spirit.
The writer attended a debate last week in which a Baptist and Campbell ite discussed tho question as to the work of the Holy Spirit in the conversion of men. The Campbellite was a very old man. seventy-four, and he said this was his sixty first public debate. He is also tho author of two or three widely cir-culated books. Ho could reasonably claim to bo a ropresenUtive man.
During the debate this veteran de-fender of the Bethany gospel continu-ally referred (o (he Holy 8piri( in (he use of (he pronoun " i t " His Baptis( opponen( exooria(ed him qui(e forcibly for his lack of reverence for (he Holy 8piri( by his referenoe (o him as an " i t " When, (o (ho a8(onishmen( of as all. (his life-long defender of tho fai(h onoo delivered by A. Oampbell,said that ho had never beforo had his atten-tion called to (he distinotion between the personal and impersonal pronouns when referring to the Holy Spirit, and ho promised honoef6r(h (o honor tho Spiri( hy using suoh words as properly repre8en( his porsonali(y. Le( others of his brethren do likewise.
