God haa challenged man 's lovo to Him In the itrongest possible manner. To this spccial attefl lion Is I N ^ t e d . God gave tho hlgheat coinmcnda lion of his love t o man. " I n that while we wore yet sinners Chris t died for us . " LIE did not ask man to lovo H i m first. Ho took the i n i t i a to ry step Of all t h e countless objecU of H i s c r e a t i o n , works o f His hands, He singled out man. On h im H e conceutratod H IS afl-ectlons.

ordinary comu rns of llfo. Ho riaks ramlly, reputa-tion, health, evoii his llfti for the accoinplUhment of some object ot only tiuicly consequcnce. Bo conslatpnt then, O man I and will ingly risk an cxUtencfl hero, though it wer4 a hundred t imes more hazardous, and behold God's love aud good-ueas In giving you an cxlutciico with such grand I)Osslbiliti«f^ before you.

God has decluritd his lovo for man in his Word , •Love Is of God." "Goit is love." " l l e rHn U lovo, not that we loved God, "liut that Ho loved u«." - I f Gml so loved ua, wo ought al»<> to love one another ." "In this was iiianiloctt d tho lovo of God towaid us, bicause lha l God sent Ui' only begotten Son into the woild thai wc iiiigbl live through him."

Uut God has nioft clearly shown hU love to man In an action. Man has a most lively appreclatioii of Bc'ions. If a man Is grateful to us, we may think it l« so If he iiays t h a t ho is, but when he acts hU Kratltudo our doubtn .lisappear. If a man declares ihat ho is alarmed, we think It is iiosdbly s o ; but when he acts his f r ight , wc know he Is tilled with terror. A man may tell us that he Is sick, and we think little about the matter, bu t when ho groans and wri thes with pain, we.feel sure ho is sick. So, when a man makes a declaration of lovo for us, we are never so well satisfied of his sincerity as when we see him acting his lovo. Then wo realize Its breadth and dep'-h. On calvary alono we see the action tha t shows God's lovo to man. H o had shown It, as we have seen, In man's creation Ho had declared It in his Word again and again Ue had shown It again and again In all nature But on calvary alono does ho show \t in Its sublime height, Its falhomloss depths, and its boundless extent. There, it is seen so high as to reach from heavon to tho Infamy of the c r o s s - s o deep a..? to forgive his tormentors and dictate a p r a t e r for his oncmies - 8 0 extended as to embrace a world in wickedness. Cnr l s t rendered perfect satisfaction to tho law ll. the action of God's love. Chr is t was perfect God, perfect man. His love was a perfect lovo, hence complete (i«!rfect) action In tho com-mendat ion of t ha t love. Chris t ian, Inquire af ter t ru th , all, behold tho act of Chr i s t ! Tell me. Do you love H i m ? « e not satisfied wi th simply a Lofess lon of tha t love. Prove It by your acUon n reference to th ings of greatest moment . « f 11 heaven and ear th p a s s , o n e jo t or one title shall In nowise pass f rom tho law, till all ^ ulfilled Chris t came to fulflll tho law, to magnify tba law. Ho left ou t nothing. Though his blood trlcklod from his pierced hands and feet, he shielded not his side f rom the crucl spear. T h e demand of the aw had already been met wi th blood. His precious Wood had been poured out. W h y this l . . t wound ?

Hut you imlicalc, my brother, that If there wore another church of your way of thinkiof ^ny where in your country you would jjo fo It, Now I know that it iit well to run away from aome trouble!, but »hould we run away and leave ourMaitor'a cause in trouble? Should we aot rather stand face to face with the trouble and try,by every lawful mcam to remove it? Some errora like to bo let alone. Thoy cannot bear to be oootraitad with truth. 80, brother, stay with your people, in love ever k4ep the truth before ihcin. Who knowa? Possibly God, in his providencc, baa put you in Reno county, Kansas, just to battle agalnat a great and popular error.

You may notlivo to aee your church pure in doc-triue and practice; but if you labof in faith, speak in love and In the spirit of our blessed Itcdoerner, your life will leave an impression possibly more itating than you imagine. Very truly,

W H A T I SEE. iT, In the churchcs, a cold indifTerenco with regard to the duties required of its members,

and a want of vital life. If the weather is pleasant, and a good number of the outsiders are expacted to bo in attendance, I can expect a good turnout of pfofeaaora; but if to the contrary, but few will meet their pastor. In this test, I discover that in each church there are but few, comparatiroly, who are bearing the burdens of Gospel light in their several loealitiea.

From close observation, I havo placed the per-centage of lire working members at about oiic-tenth.- At tkia estimate, an association of a thou> aand members baa but one hundred that can be depended on to austain an organization, and keep ap a mere appearance of a Christian body.

Snd. On the estimate of all the members who .^hare their names enrolled on the church i-ecord l ^ k , I ace that enterprises are entered into in the

, way of State work, and pressed by over-estimating the reflufta, which on the part of the few supporters, aire expected to,be realized; and when thoroughly teated, only proves to be a failure.

For inatanee, a Baptist paper was published in ihia State (Looiaiana), which is said to havo about fifteen tboiiaand professing Chriatians, and has failed for the«want of encouragement.

I aee that out of the boasted fifteen thousand profeiaora tbere are indeed only fifteen hundred that answer to their namea when the roll for duty !• 'called, j .

8rd. From thia atandpoint I see that the religion of Jfliaa.i i growing more and more into empty o«nmonles,.tand/|»opulari»)d theories, which, if oppoaed or oritloised, ia criminal, and one who

p^^darea to do It, aubjeela bimaelf to have the charges afainat him, eommoo in political bodlea of the age.

Standing npan thia premlaes, I aee that to b«,a OhrlatIan, ,attd endeavor to "observe all tilings Wba^peTer ear Haater baa eomraanded," requirea

THE EXI'Elt lKNCK OF A TE.X'AS BKOTHEJl. f n i l K following Id tlie ClirlHtian experience of an

intelligent brother »lu> did not wish to believe ill limiting the Loid'n Supper to each local church, as all church privileges t4bould and must be accord-ing to the very constitution of a Itaptist church. It is so much to the point, and so well suits the tiiuoB that wo are couslrained to publish a few paragraphs of i t :

"1 IfUve been reading your paper tor the last three years, and liave also read your book on Inter-communion, and feel that I have been greatly bonetltted by both. Yet it is hard for us to gel out of tiie old rut«, or to swim against the current. My judgment on the comtnunion question has l>cen convinced lor aliout two years, but I have soinc-liow, or somehow else, been loth to givti up the old lH)|>ulaV idea ot inturcomniunion bcjtween churches; and, like a drowning man, grasped at every straw of argument f«r succor, but all to no avail. First, our beloved Bro. rendleton, and Bro. Renfroe failed. And last, Uro. Uay,~what shall I say of hlin? Wliy, if possible, bo more than failed, for ho has, iudei'd, to my mind, strengthened the side of strict cliurcli communion, forev«ry man with a candid mind and an honest heart niu.tt see that a cauHO that needs such nplioUtering by so many ''crooks and turns and evasions," Is a hopeless case, and that the ( rniMKl in untenable and must be abandoned, the quicker tlie better.

But for want of moral courage a great many of our proachors, whose judgments are convince,!, will not rally around the grand old gospel truths so ably and earnestly hct forth by yourself and your faith-ful coadjutors. Yet Gotl is raising up strong men iiare and tliero. who will stand up for the t ruth without fear or favor from any one."

HYMN B O O K S - A I 'UOl'OSITION. ^ O much confusion exists among our churchcs, ^ occasioned by the introduction of the New Baptist Psalmist, which was intendeil to take the place of tlie Southern Psalniiit—which was lound to bo too large a book—and the typo too small, and the prico too high—the publishers of the New Ba{i-tist IValtnist have concludcd to ntako the following generous oiler:

Any church wishing to exchange the old South-ern Psalmist for The New Baptist Psalmist, can do so on the following terms, viz,: For cach Southern Psalmist, in any statu of repair, they will allowthe church or possessor, half the prico of The New Baptist Psalmist, with or without music. The prico of the former is 75c; the latter, COc.

Tlio best way to accemplish this will bo to state the proposition before tho church and have all the old books gathered in, and report iho number, and tho number of new books wanted by the church, and send the money with tho order (1. c., 37>^o for cach Now Psalmist with music, and 30c for Psalm-ist without music), and tho published price of tho additional new books desired, and information will bo given ns to tho disposition to be made of the old Psalmist.

CliUKCII BUILDING DEPAllTMENT.

THIS dcparttnenl labors under two or three dis-advantages, and It is tlie puiposo of this article

to show liow to remove them. 1. It is a now feature in our <l<">ominational

work, and there are hundreds and thousands of our Baptist people who are Ignorant of its existence scope and puri)oeo. This can be overcome, how-e v e r , If the pastors, to whom letters and postals and circulars and newsfjapcrs and pamphlets ex-plaining the work havo been sent, would spend a few minutes in giving tlie Information to their con-^ga t lons . The pastors are the living links be-twceii the great Baptist brotherhood and our pecu-l i a r denominational cntorprisca. Unless they in-form themselves and impart tlte Information to tho churches, the congregation must nocessirlly bo Ignorant and Indifferont about her plans for prosecuting Christian work. Now, my dear brother, tell >our people all about it next Sabbath.

2 Another disadvantage is this : Tl-e churches in organizing their financial schemes, did not an-ticipate this dopartment, and hence havo not made any arrangement for Us support. They have placed tho old established objects upon tho pro-gramnte lor which collections are taken regularly (and this Is right) but the Church Building De partmontJ)eing now, was not entered In the list. A t e m p o r a r y relief for this, however, can be had by taking a special collection for this object, and hero and now as hnsnbly and as earnestly as I know how, beg and inslHt and entreat our pastors to make ono special effort for this department, and do It Immediately. You will bo surprised at tho eauarness and liberality with which tho brethren will respond. Permanent relief can bo had only by adjusting your plan so as to mako this one of tlie objecU for which collections will bo regularly taken.

3. Another disadvantage is this : Tho brethren do not know bow tho work is osteemod by others Every Baptist paper in the South warmly and en ergetically endorses the movement aiid regards l i as one of the most hopefbl, if not the most hopeful and promising department of our missionary opelr atlons. I refer you to the current Issues of our several State organs for conflrtnalion of this state ment. The leadlne pastora in every State have cordially given it their support, and urged It upon tho patronage of their ohurcbes, ond so fa r as know, not a single church has failed to make a fair eontribntion when It WM presented. Business men, as It is shown by letters J p m y possession, con s lder l t f t wlseandoeonomio measure. Other de nominatlona reganf it as a strong arm upon which they rely for growth and •ucoesa, and they press thia more earnestly than they do any other de-partmodt of their denominational work. The Southern Baptista are the only denomination wbieh h u too CburebvBuildlHg F u n d . ^ Why do we hoalttite? Can w o delay it with safety lo ^oar cau»e?'

Not long before his death the late Kcshup Chundcr Bon spoke ds fallows in relation to what has been accomplished by Christian missions In Ind ia : "The sucxess of Christian missions is no longer a problem. For myself I can eiy I feel no misgivings. I fully bcllcvo Christ has come into I n d i a , a n d has Uken pofSsiBsion or India's heart. Some say India will be Christ's, but it is not yet. 1 hate tho idea of coi.jugatiiiB Christ's ertccess in

ndla In the tuture tense. It Is a thing alrcad\ achieved. When a native of India bears t. silinony, lot no foreigners disputo it. I ^ay .'mphatioail) that tho spirit of Christ has gone into the depths of India's heart. I dcclare that tho sanctifying and civilizing iatluenccs of Christ's life and teachings | ; arc working wonders in this land."

Uev. Phillip Brooke says: "Some of you are saying in your hearts, 'There arc heathen enough at home. Let us convert them before wo go to China.' Tbat pica we all know, and ' I think It sounds more cheap and more shameful every year. What can be more shameful than to mako tho Im-p e r f e c t i o n of our Christianity at homo an ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ for not doing our work abroad ? It is as shameless j ^ ^ ^ as i t is sliameful. It pleads for exemption and indul gence on the ground of Its own neglect and sin. I t Is like tho murderer of his father asking tlie judge to have pity on his orphanhood. Even those who make such a plea feol, I think, how tinhcrolc It Is."

N ^ . N the F»rciiin Miision Journal for Match is an

appeal headed, "Two Months." None who read It can (all to see Iho Importance of the friends of Missions sending their funds to tlw Board ol For-clgn Missions before the Ist of May. But II Is my duty to say that our treasury is empty. Drafts are acceptwl and coming in. They must bo mot. There should be no delay. Funds ought to bo sent at once. Thoy aro prcsolngly needed now.

in the f?ent/'4^l. Cinfertnce. Suppose it be granted i s . the concession of an equal number of U»

ie i imenta t i res in the General Conference, which moots only onco In four years, any oompensalion for the usurpation of their right of reprewnUtion in tho Societifs of whioh they are members—in the Quarterly Couforeuco», and District ConforencM and Annual Confereneos, in wiiich all the busbiPM IstranMciod that intimately concerns the member-ship? It is like robbliig a man of Ids cststeo and giving him a licket tor a meal in c soiij. houw, once in four years.

Tho New Methodist Episcoiial Church, Sonth has given tho Uity tho name of being repre&eiilc<l while it ha« withheld the reality. We have seen that ll denifii tho laity the shadow of reprcscm*. tion in thrtir own Societies, which they call chHrchef—it has given them no scmiilanro of reprcsanla:ion in the Quarterly . Conference ; none whatever in the Di.irl.a Conferencts, and a r»pi,. sentailon of about three laymtn to twenty one minisfers in the Annual Coufcrcncps 1 what ef-fective ici»iet.cniatioii in this? It's a shame and s 9liam.

Now, if the General Confecence it a body rcpre-ecnUnff the laily of the New Methodist EpitcopsI Cliurch South—or the laity aro indeed fairly aud fully represented in it, then it must bo a body of rcprodeniatives, whether ministers or laymen, selected and elected by the laity, not a mere frac-tion of its number, but ev^^y member of it. The House of ncpiTsentativcs in our several States, and ot these United .Stated, receive this name bccaiise composed of men elected, not a part, but every one of them by the people—they aro the 6ono Jl(/e representative!' of tho people. Suppose the acting GoTernor of Tiinncssco had tho |>ower and should UBO it to elect one-half the membert of the House each «.V8*ion, could his selections 1>0 considered the representatives of tiie i>oopTe of Tennessee ? Could not the Governor, with this power, to all intcnti and purposes control tho legislation of that body? Would it not be an unpardonable abuse of tcrmi to call such a body the representatives of the people? Sec how this illustrates the representation of tho laity of the New Methodist Episcopal Church,South, in thoir General Confereiicsi.

Tho-ministers composing the Annual Confcrencci elect one-half of the delegates to each General Con-ference, out of their own number! Here we have one-half of tho delegates of tho General Conference stocked in the interest of tho Methodist clergy and under tho supremo authority and control of the Presiding Elders andBlshops—oath-bound to "rev-erently oltey them" and "to follow with a glad mind and will their godly judgments," and "in all lhing> acting, not according to their own wills, hot as sons in Ihe gospel." Cannot tiie Bishops and Pre-siding Elders control the votes of these men? Who will deny i t?

The laity composing the Annual Conference ars now allowed to elect an equal n"mbor of lay dele-gates, but it is specially prov^ffed that the.-e may be, and wo suppose tho clerical dolegatos or tho Presiding Elder, or Bishop presiding over the elec-tion will bo sure to soo' to this thing—one local prcacber elected from each of tho thirty-eight An-nual Conferences of tho Ciiurch, South. This gives tho pttiBchcrs a clear majority of thirty-eight in tho Gononii Contorencol AVTlll any inlclligeDt Ani^ricaii Christian or citizon say a body thus con-stituted is a body f a i ^ and fully reprosontiug (be ialty—tho people? What nioasuro could tho reprc-•ontativos of tho people—that holpeloss minority «f laymen—carry through the General Conforonce—^ whicii requires a majority of two-thirds, er thrte-fburtha, or at least a oloar majority of both the clergy and tho iaity*, when they vote aeparately, to pais any monauro.f la no t auch a representation simplr /aroioatf ,,,„• f ...i, . - i . . . r

"Tliereis only one condition required ot those wlio (le&lr«« adro!it«lon(into theso 8oclellc«, a desire to tloe fwui tho wrath to come, to bo saved from their sins."

This unscriptural law of probation was rejected 111 forming the Now Church, and all n«w who will cipresii a desiro to flee the wrath to como and bo saved, can come dircctly through baptism (?) into tho Now Church, South, and partake of all it« privllogcs.

•}. lu tho old Church tho class-moctiug was re-garded as a vital foaturo of Methoilism. Inskip thought it essential to the very existence of true Methedism. A member nc^icc ing or refusing to attend the weekly class-mectiug was rcciuired to be cicludcd from tho Siethodist Episcopal Church, though the class wasdcclared by Mr. Weiiley to have been an invention of one Captain Foy, to facilitate the collection of tho weekly quarterage. This law, 10 essential to Methodism, was also ropudiated by (ho New Church. Thero is a meeting called a Class-inoeting retained, but attendeuce uiwu it is made optional with the members.

These radical <!hangcs—the (juoti rciircsontatlve feature and the now terms of membership, with some score of minor changes—transformed tho old form of MethoiliKm into tlio New Church, South.

A few more less important ones 1 will notice here.

5. Tho blasphemy—for it was notliing l e s s -u t -lei-od by tho bishop in the ordination of an elder, has lieen expunged aud other language adopted. Ill tiio DUcipUnc I used in 185fi, the bishop was made to uso these words; "Receive the Holy Ohost for tiie otllco of a bishop in the church of G ^ , now TOinniitted to thee by tho imposition of our hands, ill Ihe name of tho Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Gliost." This language clearly implies thai tho ordaining bivhop could and did actually impart the Holy (Jhost to tho candiilate! Tho New Church uses theso words: "The Lord pour ui>on ihco tho Holy Ghost." etc.

, , T H E m w "GREAT IRON WIIBEJ^" m H E original "Great I r sa WbceJ" was first pub-^ lishod In 1856, and aumo 40,000 coplea w«re put into oircalation in forty months. During tho occu-pation of KashvUlo by til® itnion army,, the Pub-lithiug Uoutto bolng in its itossesslon, tho plates of tho Wheel wero destroyed—a loss in itself of $000— and therefore no more copies havo been Issued.

Bishop CaiAirs is roimrted to havo said that "nothing liad so injured Methodism ainco its birth as the book called the 'Gi-oat Iron Wheel,' and that tlio book m u s t bo answered, or Methodism would havo lo bo changed." Methodism has boen chang-

.ed. The now constitution admitting tho laity to tiio conferonces was adopted in 180C, and the new M. E. Church South dates from 18tlC. Tho other changes, such as the aljolislimont of the class-Mieet-ings, and tho Itinerancy and Probation, etc, e tc , made in 18(Ki, and sicco that year, havo been many —It is virtually Now Methodism to-day, aud there-fore, on every hand, tho Now Wheel i" called for.

A I'noposiTici.v. The New Griyit Iron Wheel will bo brought out

in superb style, with two steel engravings of tho author, ouo at thirty-Bix ycai-s, and one at sixty-four. Tho retail [n ice of tiie oook will bo IL.'iO by mail, post-paid. Tlio dcsiralile features of this book to nil ny thousands of the author's friendu, will ho the now steel ongrarlugs of Dr .1. U. Graves, from a cabinet-size photograph, taken when sixty-four years of ago. This will bo a magiiitlcenl picture and will bo executed by the best artist on the continent. A few thousand of thcHO will bo ^g-intcd on fine card 12xM, for framing. Being engraved on steel, they will never fade, and will bo far more valuable and dcsiralile than a photograph that would cost $3 or |1 . Tho prlco of tho large oards for framing will be ll.OOeach.

Wo proi>080 to havo this book ready for mail-ing and orders on the first of May—and wo make tho following oilers to canvassers and single sub scribers:

To any one forwarding us IL.'iO, on or before the first of March, we will send the book and one steel ongravingof tho author for f raming ; or tho book without tbe engraving for .^1.25.

Centre lllll. Ark. jI. Your pastor, wo think, overlooked tho spirit

and intent r f the resolutions and douhticse a faulty Terbiage aided to mislead h im. Had tlic d rawer of them aaid—

Whereas, It is tbo jtidgmenl of this church that according to the teaching of the Word of God ( l i t Cor- Kth chapter, and Gal. 5th chapter,) th&t drunk-enneaa, fornication,'«dullery, and rcvelings [lianc-ing to music, dancings of all sorti*] an; ex^resiily forbidden as gross offenses against Christianity, as we know them to iw detrimental to the influence of this church; therefore, resolved, elc., wo do not think your pastor would have raised an objection, hut would have favored them, as it would have been bis boiinden duty to have done, if a friend to morality and the religious life and influence of the eharcli.

Had tho second resolution been couched in like ^ terns, as the jodgmsnt of the church that the Word ol God a« found in Paul's letters to the churches at Corinth, Thessalonica and Galatla, and the very words of Christ himself, confine tho memorial Sup-pert* the membership ef the church celubrtitiiig it, he, doubtless, would not have opposed its dis-stissioD and a tote upon it, or he shonid not. Ev-ery item of church order, and every feature of our

^church polity, when occasion requires, shonid bo naderstcmd by every member, and thero is^no better way tbais by calmly discnssing it and eliciting tho teaching of God's Word oonoerning i t i;

We say ft commonly intelligent pastor would not obrjeot to resolutions so worded, becanse it brings

* tbe^qttestioDS right square 4o the law intok of Bap> tisliT-tbe Sorlpture»-^nd he would know that •aeh ^ I ^ cbarcb is invested with Judicial and exeettUnt t o m n . I t is her d< ty to Judxa whether

^ any {MtrUenlar lat or line of eendisot In her mem* bers If i n Moordtnoe with, or oondumuMl by, the

Bfriptures, and If condemned, it is her bouoden duty to so Inform har members, and, if they then continue to sin, to discipline them.

The oiTfn'cofi spot^iftinl in the above nisolution ar« r/enernl ofldi'iccs, niid need no trial where tliore is no douiit in tim minds of the church that tliey have Item committed. Kxdusion in every easels liin penalty, and lot the rerorutation upon re|>(«ntance be perfected out of tiie church. But wo underhtiind that both the resolutions tlTered were inteu^ci) for tho informadon of tho members, and to act as a warning and pir.i'«ntive of wrongdoing, and therefore, they siiould have been worded as we liavn suj^gested so us not to appear liLo arbitra-ry law, irresjioctive of tho Hcrlptiires.

Suppose the churcli at Centre Hill had for years past allowed its members, wi thout rebuke or dis-cipline, to (iapco, attciul tlieatres, sell whisky by the (ilast?, ( |narl or barrel, and corn inline with otli-er (ienotniiiations, wuulii net the iinpresiiioii rest upon tho minds of all imo in i i igmembers Diat these were innocent practices and unr^oiidcnined, in the j i iJginent of the church, by tho Word of Gml ? Most assuredly, l iow would or shoiilii the ehureh j{0 about to correet the impression and discipline tier members (or such actij? Manifestly, the first thina it woiilii beh-»ovc her to do would be to ex-

cise iter judicial preroj^ative and judtfe if snch courses 'vere condemned liy the Scriptures, the only law book of the church, and make her judgment known to all her inembors. Then if they trans-(fress, she is reaiiy and l)*>tiiHi to exorcise her exec-utive prerofiaiive—discipline—exeludc the ofi'en-ilers on two suflleient grounds, ^l) the violation of the law of God, (3) for cofitempt of tho ehnrch .

We should 1)0 pleased to have tlio views of that pastor upon this our opinion—so contldcut are wo that he wiP agree with u».

Tho fJentral church, this city, has recslvcd mem-bers every Sabbath for a month or more. Several received for baptism last Sabbath. So far aiiout •iiirly.five additions the last two months, and six-ty.flve in tho past fifteen months. A number of them will join next Sabbath. Tho pastor it preach-ing a scries of sermons ®n "Distinctive Principles of Baptists." A» tbe exinclusion of the first of these sermons, on last Sunday, a lady said she was thor-oughly convinced that she ought to bo immersed, and Itro. hamar will baptize her.

Our readers are interested in tho stralght-for-ward and earnest discussion now going forward in this paper between Itro. Coleman, the old veteran minister of Arkansas, and Bro. Harral, of Missis-sippi. Such discussions cannot be read without profit. The reader is bound to learn much, and by it his mind is quickened to invastigation and sharp-ened to disccrn betweon a fallacy aud an argu-ment, a plausibility and a fact. The subject dis-cussed is ono of grave import and intensely practi-cal—the scriptural observance of the Isold's Sup-per, which, if wo eat unworthily, we eat anddrinic condemnation to ourselves.

Our suburban ofl[lce—our real tanclum sancto-rum—was honored and cheered for an hour or two last Monday by the presence of Dr. Robertson, of the iiejlector. Pro. Allen Curr, the celebrated Scotch lecturer, and (be two city pastors. Wo never saw Bro. Robertson looking better. He has been eating oranges in Florida a par t of tliis win-ter—think uf 27 at a si t t ing! The pasters are both looking thin and worn and should ha re a rest after thair recent severe labors. We move and second and vote it. Prof. 0 . lias had a successful lectur-ing season and will, doubtless, enter upon regular l)astoral work this season.

Through the kindness of some one wo this week received a copy of tbe Flag oi January 30 h, in wbicii appears our "Open Ix>tter to Bro. Ray." We thank him (or publishing it. He declines Iv ac-cept any one </ our chnllenijc* tS^ which were to attempt the proof of hit own specijlc astertiont! We regret but cannot help this.

We now propose to our brother to review bis "scriptural arguments," xchiih he did not introduce into our dixcussion, provided he will copy our re-views and wc will copy his replies, tho discussion to be full, fair and fraternal. Will Bro. Bay give us an early answer ? Bro. Ray knows that bis pro-position for us to afllrm a negative is simply un-reasonablo as i t is unlogical—-(hough we can do i t ; but w h j will he not afllrm in discussion bis own proposition that the intercommunion of churches s scriptural aud consistcBt? Why ? But we will

be more than satisfied if ho will s t tempt the de-fence of bis scriptural arguments.

Piof. HariMjr, of the Theological Seminary of Chicago, and editor of fhe Old 2e»lament Student, speaking of the New Theology, of which Tory and Lyons are tho prominent Baptist representatives, says: "Ist. Whether true or false, every minister should make himself acquainted with its inTpstlga-tions, whether the results bo true or false. 2nd. That the questions InTolved, csn only be settled by free, and open discussion. 3rd. That if the results are trae, we ought to know it, if false, we ought to prove it. 4lh. That no greater mistake can ije made—sup-posing the conclusions to be false, than prohibiting the presentation of them."

Wo commend those remarks to onr brethren of the press, who bavo closed their columns against

full discussion of the'claims ofchtirch comntun-' ion as oppoeed'to intcr-chu'rcta communion. Right otCwoBg, "the onljf irex the question ^ be set-tled It by, free end discuiiloii." This * e are

The okuse of sboatscuoiw sore throat, la^ngitls, and finelly bronchitis in public iMakor«,and all theso symptoms of "drag-ging down," gonenes"!, exhaustion after ipeaklnir, and weaknasas of the back and lolni, piles, and jiornla, is the tUght re-axeUion of'the abdominal miudet, which aUoiot the bowelt lo niiik, and knouni by marked hollows over the (tpi of iJiethipt.

Thb ia the only in«3chanical contrivance ever dh*-eovcriid that uplifla the abdomen rather than comproases it, as all trus«j.H do.

Thia is what it doen, aH thousands Who havo UHod it aro prepared to ttwtify: It fiupjwrta tho back, abdo-men, slomiich, lungs aud wouib. It , thereforo, prevents latMltude, hoarae-noHS, piles, hernia, connumption, aud that torrible dbsease,—dyaj^i-sla,

I t invariably rdievea all jaaee ol prolapsus utert in females, a disease that no UKAllclno can rwicn, because, like a broken limb, It needs mechani-cal support.

It relieves piles and prolapms ani, by uplifting the lower bowels from the rcclum.

It ia being uised more aud more yearly, tw its value is known, by public HjKiakera and singers, and by tiuMO having wesik lungu aud backa; and by those having utooping ahoul-derM and hacking couglw, the sure precuruora of consumption.

The Biace 1 received from you I Qud is of great benefit to me. I was afraid i t was not what i t was recom-mended to be ; but I was induced by my physician to get one. Shortly afterward, the church tha t I was a member of calicd me to serve them as pastor; and I accepted on the con-dition that they should get me a Brace. I was entirely brok«i down from over speaking. I eould not s p ^ longer than fiJleen minutes nn-tu I became very hoaise; but. wi th the Braoe on, I can speak with per-f e c t ease one hour: and, after speak-ing, X do not feel tha t nnpleasantneas at my stomach that X did before osing the Brace. I can say tha t the Braoe la all tha t Is daimed for i t ; and I would advise all speekera who lisel fatigue and UuBltude after speaUng by ail means to get them a Biaoe,
