God cannot operate upon an intelligent being, in a mor-al point of view, any other way tliaii by words addressed to his understanding. The burn ing bush arrested the attention of Mo-

it made no moral impression. The light tha t shone around Saul, above the brightness of the sun, made no moral im-pn-ssion on him, and there is not an in-stance in the Bible, where God ever a t t emp-

i ceming spiritual objects is the work of the I mrnd. Without the new birth men are spir-iitually blind, like the Jews , to whom the j Messiah proved " a stone of s tumbling and rock of offence," and like the learned and philosophical Greeks, to whom the Gospel appeared mere "fooli.shness." or "non-sense ." I t is one th ing merely to have some knowledge of the meaning of the lan-guage employed in describing the gaspel system, and anotl.er thing to perceive the true spiritual beamy and excellence of that i'ysiem. There is a kind of knowledge

, without which a man cannot be guilty of : the sin of rejecting tlie gospel, but to those who have only this knowk-dg.-, Christ ap-

I Our Lord goes on to say, "Thai which w ! of the flch is fLesK." The woid jiesh IS used in Scripture with various senses.— Our Lord here availed himself of the two-fold signification of the word by which it is u.sed to express huinxm nature or a human being, and the sinfulness which human be-ings exhibit , and which is so congenial to them. T h e noun flesh, he re repeated, is also used instead of the adjective fleshlv. as being a more vivid manner of speaking!

The idea is, tha t which resuhs from God's influence is holy. Th is is the effect of the new birth, and Man is holy only in consequence of the

"TU wind Uow-' eth where it listcth, and thou hearett thM luund thereof, but canst ttU tell whence it Cometh, and whiter it ffoeih.- so is every one that is b o m of the Spir i t ." The wind is an invisible, active agent , and i u existence is only known by the effects produced. I u effects are visible, but we know not the laws by which it is governed, and we know bu t little about its manner of operation. So the Holy Spirit is an invisible, active agent , and we l e a m tha t his agency has been exerted in part icular cases, only by the %-isible ef-fects produced on the lives and conduct of men. W h e n we see the thoughtless be-come serious; the licentious become pure; the vicious, moral ; the moral, religious; the prayeriess, prayer fu l ; the rebeihons and obstinate, meek and genUe; where these ef-fects are visible we trace them to the Holy Spirit as their cause, for the Bible teaches

I us tha t these a r e l h e visible results where that Heavenly A g e n t operates. The na-ture of this influence may be hidden, un-seen. and mysterious, a n d the manner of i u operation, secret a n d Bnpeit^ived, but the reality of this influence is to be deter-mined by i u palpable results, in the char-

"VVe hope more Methodista will read their Disciplines

INFANT BAPTISM. MB. Emion—It has been an earnest de-

sire of my heart to fully understand all the peculiarities of our Methodism, and, to ac-complish which, I have read most of the authors that hare come within my reach, with some attention. Upon many of these peculiarities I hare bestowed some little re-flection. None of the works have I thought more on than the little work called " Dis • cipline." I frankly acknowledge that ma-ny portions of it are difficult of comprehen-sion to my mmd. I have exchanged riew? with many brethren, and yet my mind is

. a little muddy on some points or portiiHis. Du not be alarmed ; I am not going to "m-veigh against our doctrines." My only ob-ject is to elicit older and wiser heads to give me some explanation or light upon a few expressions, or rather phrases, found in our Book of Discipline. These portions hare been subjects of reflection for Mveral yeaia.

In our "Dadpline," section 2d, page 107, we Snd the inrtructiona giTen to t i e minis-ter previous to baptizing mfeuts: "Coming tu the font, he ia to use the following ex-honation : • Dearly belored, etc., I beseech yoji, etc., grant this child that thing which, by nature, it cannot hare, etc.' Baptized with water and the Holy Ghost."

Now, I wish to know, if this phrase 'bap-tized with water and the Holy Ghost,' con-veys the idea that the " baptism of the Ho-ly Ghost" is to be understood at the time of the appliaditm of the water, or at some fu-ture time ?

"We find similar language used in the consecrating prayer. The foSowiEg :• "That thou wilt look upon this child, icash and simctlfy him with the Holy Ghost." Here we find that the washing and sanctifying of the spirit are prayed for. The word sanc-tify, may mean to set apart, and ia often used in this sense m the Old and New Tes-tament ; but then what is designed to be

S t ^ y l f i e do iy '6kor t?" Again, thepray-er is continued—"That the old Adaai in thfa chfld may be so buried," &c. Here, again, I want light. " T h e old Adam" mcan-s, I suppose, the canial mind, which ia to " be buried." If the carnal mind is meant, is it designed to convey the idea

• that it is to be done at the time of baptism, or at some distant day or period ?

Again r in the conclusion of the prayer, we find another idea, or one not dissiniilar til the above ; the- phraseology is a little diffident Thus: " G'rant that' this child, now to be baptized, may rtetire the/uUnett of thy grace.". Does this " reception and fullness" prayed for, in connection with the preceding part of the prayer, convey the idea to the mmd. that this "receiving the fullness" accompany the application of the water in baptism » Now, Mr. Editor, does the baptism of the Holy Ghost, the sandi-t.- mg of the H . ^ Ghost, the bmying of the " old Adam, and the receiving of the fnll-ness of grace, all teach us that they are to be looked for a the baptism of children ?"

If so, the adnimistratoris to have faith, when he makes use of the above language, or prayer. .- If Mth i» necessary, on the part of .the minister, as an mtintmeaial cause of these blessings commg upon the child, on what or in what is he to place his filith ? Is his feith to ceataie upon o r i a Christ, that theae graces may be communi-cated to the child, in the application of the water in this holy ordinance? Or are these blessings prayed for or expected at some dL=taut period of Kfe ?

Now, Mr. Editor, will yon or some of yjjur able Boneapondeata be to good as to give an elucidation or explanation of these phraseologies, as found in! our " Discip-line t " labouhlbegladtoseeanabledia-sertaifon written upon the above items; for. ci rtaiuly, the language conveys some defi-mte idea, or mcnlcates tome ,doctime in theology. ,

In conclumoo, if TOO, or some other bro-ther, deem the above questions worthy of notice, and bealaw upon them a few reflec-tions. as they tnrfj-merit, u I think they do, I may ean fin- other explanations on some portiona of our most excellent " Dis-cipline."

WAUT TO KKOW. The.Editor makes several admissions

worthy of note: 1. That he rrgarda the riae of the de-

sired answer to the prayers for the regene-ration, or H d y Ghost baptism, of die m-

JACKSON CORRESPONDENCE.

DEBATE AT JACKSON. THIRD DAY—AUFF. 15.

On yesterday evening, just as ire closed, Mr. Fly called attention to a publication in the Tennessee Baptist concerning the man-ner in which the debate had been brought about at Quincy. and said it was felse. Mr Fly called one or two persons liars. The lie was bandied by him and Mr. Collins of Jackson, across the house. Considerable excitement prevailed. Bro. Graves arose and told Mr. Fly he had brought up this

' matter just to divert the minds of the peo-ple from his arguments—and no gentleman would have done it. Bro. Graves said it was his debate, and not Mr. Fly's, and he had no right thus to interfere; and that Fly had done it to affect the debate.

In the midst of Mr. Fly's remarks, Mr. Chapman tried to stop him.

He stood lip, and his ej-os were no mnre bleared with tears; and, lookiji;^ into the bright, morning heaven, he said: " I wiU be strong '."—LonsfrUm°t Hyperian.

Be strong I and in thy manhood's might. Gird Well life's t ruthful armor on.

And stand the foremost in the fight, Kor falter, though all hope be gone;

For life is not, as some would deem, A theme for jest and mockery;

There is a bright and gloriona gleam. With golden glimpses of To Be.

There is a feeling in this life, A bold yet truthful earnestness,

A courage, which amid the strife Will bear the onward, to repress

The dark and crushing hand uf wrong. Which falls upon ih.- giiiless heart;

To bid that heart be >KiId and stron I ts fears and trembUug to depart.

And thou art l ingrring while the peiil Of the wild life-march rings a lon t ;

While shadows dim around thee kneel A weeping and impK.ring ihrong.

And voices spc,-ikinE; from the grave. Bid Ihee love truth and fear thy liod,

And bid thee scorn opiuion'a slave, The jest, the jeer, the tyrant's rod.

Up ! soul and body ! in your youlh: The still night ciimelh dark and dim;

Soon will the waning stars of Truth Fall back behind the .Seraphim,

Arouse I nor let thy hands be weak' U a p onward in Truth 's battle-frar.

Make falsehiKid, with her livid riieek. Cower 'ueath thy glance and shrink away.

And t«ou shalt conquer .' thou .-h.-ilt gam A fame as proud as man can boast—

A cherished and a sacn d name. Such as eanh loves and values most;

Onward—bold soul.' bur-t.slai i.-h thro<'s, Speak with the powers unto thee giveu:

Onward ! until behind thee close The stainles-s gates of Truth 's pure Heaven

MoNtT M.iTTins, Tsade. i c —The New Vork Journal of Commerce, of the STth Sept.. says:

"There is less panic in the market, but no change in the deni.md for money or the rales of interest. The banks continue to accommodate their regular customi ra as f:ir as they can with their ri-ceipt«, but it is exceedingly difficult to ne-gotiate business paper. Loans on call are r»ther i more e-tsily obtained to-day, although at higher I rates than were current last w w k . " j

The New Tork Post, of the same date, says: 1 " T h e market docs not reliut in its stiingency,,

and tliB demand is quite as activeand pres.sing as hitherto. Prime paper with two names is taken «t I2a l5 per cent; and second cla.ss paper at 15 and upwards, the rates being irregular."

WHO HADE THE LITTLE iXOWEHS!

•nie Atheist in his garden stood. At twilight's pensive hour.

His little daughter by his side. Was gaaing on a flower.

"Oh, pick that blossom. Pa, for me." The little prattler said,

"It is the fairest ana that blooms Within the lowly bed."

The &ther plucked the chosen floirer. And gave it to the child—

With parted Ups and sparkling ere. She seized the gift and smiled.'

"Oh, Pa^who made this p ie t^ floirer. This little riulet blue;

Who gave it aueh a fragrant smell. And snch a lively hue?"

A change came o'er the father's brow; His eyes grew strangely wild;

5ew t h o u g h within him had been stirr'd By that sweet, artless child.

The truth flashed on her father's mind The truth in all ita power;

"There is a God, my child," he said, "HI made that little flower."

C O M M O T C i l l O J f S - C o n t i n i i e d .

^ [cXlHTiaTED FBOJC P I^T PACT.] also in power, and in the Holy Ghost;" can he prove that the gospel came in imni only, irithout any accompanying- power? And can he also prove that these Thessalonians had the power to work miracles? Where b the evidence in the case? The object for which the Spirit is given. God makes known b y Ezekiel 36: 27, " A n d I wiD put m y Spirit within yon, and cause yoa to walk in m y statutes." And Christ speaks Q£ the Comforter, as given to "reprove the world of sin, of rigfateonsness, and of Judg-menL" I do not deny that miraculous gifts were "bestowed, but the Scriptures clearly teach that there were other objects to se-cure -which the Holy Ghost was given.

G. contends that when Paul says, Eom. G: 11, " H e that raised up Chns t torn the dead, shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in yoti;" tha t Pau l alludes to the living, for after death has passed upon man, his body is not mor-t-iL But I ask. Were not the bodies of tie Eom,ans mortal at this time when P a u l wrote to t h M ? And might they not die a f u r that and"be raised from the dead by the power of the Spirit as the dead body of Christ was raised? But if G. is right in saying that Pan] in this passage speaks of the hving, then: in what did the fjoiekening consist? T a quicken, aaya Webster, is " to make aUve," and wa» the Holy Spirit to make alive, living bodies? I s ;there not "•myitery," or "mcamprehenMibUUy," or "ngrucTise," in such a'sapposition? And if G. ia right in his explanation of the word mortal, what does Pau l mean in I Cor. 15: 53, where he says, " T h i s mortal shaH put put on immortal i ty!" Mnst that langnag* also be restricted in ita application to the living?

G., in noticmg m y ol^'ecdon to the theo-ry which rejects the action of God on the soul of man, " t h a t it renders prayer for spiritual aid absurd and r a i n , " remmds me that " in the Gospel according to John, it is expressly stated, and too plam to a d ^ t of incarnpreheiuibmty" We know that God heareth not the prayer of a sinner." WeU, I knowtha t the_^man who was blind from his birth says.'in'jrohn 9: 31, " N o w we know that God heareth not sinners;" but I have no mon! evidence of the inspiration of that man, than Lhave of the mspiration of that " mora/ bevng who said to our first pa-rents, " ye ahafl not surely die." The mere opinion of that l i an has but litde weight with me. Still, I have no objection to the hmguage m the sense in which I suppose the man employed it. When a miracle wai performed, it was customary to invoke the aid of God. - Jetna often did t h a himself and it was by h i . power only fliatpropheti

and apostles eooU perform mfradea. The language of the man refers to sach cases and it means amply that God trill not giv^

aid to imposton and &ls« pro-, p h ^ , and as, by tha power of God, Jeana ^ opened h a eyes, he couH n i t be an

. tagn^ a e w f o r e i a . no «=ference to the p a y a , w l k k n n M ^ ^

for salvation. I t is true that God will not L e w t h e * prayers which are offered in

M moe£ery, or the man lores h i s sins, aod is tmwiUiiig to give them up, bnt the cry of a penitent sinner for salvation, God wifl hear, and our heavenly Father will give the H d y Spjrit U) them that ask him.

6 . notices what I say about the " Holy men .of old. who prayed as the Spirit gave them ut terance," and says "These Old Men had a promise from God of a King, in the person of the Messiah, none of whom lived to know their King, to hear his coun-sel and advice, hence their prayers, peti-tions and remonstrances to God." WeD, really G., I was laboring under the impres-sion that when Paul prayed for the Ephe-sians, Colossians and Thessalonians, that God would "sanc t i fy t hem," and "fulf i l in them all the good pleasure of his good-ness, and the work of faith, with power," and " give unto them the spirit of wisdom," and " strengthen them with might by his Spirit in the inner m a n , " and " fill them with the knowledge of his will in all wis-dom and spiritual understanding." ( 2 Thes. 1: 1 1 : Ephesians 3: 14, 18, Ac.)— I really believed that at the time these pray-ers were offered, the Messiah h a d already appeared. If any thing can be more ridi-culous than the explanation G. has given of Uiese prayers, as petitions for the com-ing of a Messiah that had already appear-ed, I confess I am unable to conceive of it. I t was very well for G. to follow such an interpretation with an anecdote, the point of which was " no7i3ense, all nonsense." It was entirely appropriate.

Before I conclude I will brirfly notice the apph'cation which M. has made in his com-munication last week, of the words of our Sariour. John 6: 63, " The words that I speak unto you, they are Sjjirit, and they are K/e." Our Lord had said in verse 53. " Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in yon." The Jews understood this language in the gross, carnal sense of a literal eating of liis body, and had said, verse 52, when Christ said, " The bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." "How can this man give us his flesh to eat V Our Lord, in verse 63, cor-rects their mistake by saying, " I t is the Spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth noihing; the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." The meaning obviously is, that his wordc, which had given so much offence, were to be un-dfiistood in a spiritual sense ; ihat he did not of a literal eaUng of his body; and that if such a thing had been practica-ble, it would have been productive of no salutary effect " The flesh profitelh no-t i n g . " -nie noun spirit, here" repeated, as

I in John 3: 6, is used instead of the adjec-: tive spiritual, as being a more vivid man-ner of speakiijg. -^Vhen our Lord says of his words, " they are spirit ," the sense is, " they are spir i tual ;" and when he says of his words " they are Ufe," the idea is, The, Spirit that quickeneth or maketh alive, em-ploys the instrumentality of the Sa^-iour's words, or he produces eternal life through this means. The language of the Saviuur, therefore, is perfecUy consistent with the doctrine I have taught.

In conclusion. I would assure M. and G. that for men to spend their lives quarn?'-ling with mysteries, is to act like the wild beast in a cage, forever chafing against the bars of its prison, which neverthL-Iess re-main. •• The simplest objects in the phy-sical world are surrounded with mysteries. A blade of grass has wonders about it which no philosopher can clear u p ; no man can teU what fixes the type of each species of plant or animal; by what process the ma-terials of leaf and flower are selected and arranged ; whence the beautiful tints are borrowed or how applied; what conducts the silent process of formation of tlie eye oVhand. Every thing we see is, even to the most enlightened, the index of some-thing unk-nown and mscrutable. If the vi-sible and tangible forms of matter are re-plete with things past finding out, what may we expect when we turn our eves on the world of SpiriU ? Even that little worid in our own bosoms, which is pervaded by our own consciousness, the facU of which are most intimately known, is full of wonders ; of phenomena which we can neither com-prehend nor reconcile. Who can under-stand the secret union of soul and body which establishes their reciprocal influence? Why should the emotion of shame suffuse the cheek, or that of fear send the blood to the heart ? Why does the soul suffer if the body be injured ? What conception can we form either of matter or mind, which is consistent with their mutual influence and communion? The operations of our ra-tional and moral faculties are not less be yond our com"trehension. We know cer-tain facts, but the reason of them, or their consistency, we cannot understand. We know that certain feelings follow certain perceptions ; the feeling of confidence, the perception of truth ; the feeling of plea sore, tlie perception of beauty ; the feeling of approbation, the perception of what is morally right. Why these feelings should thus rise, no one can tell. Such are the laws of our be ing; laws which we did not

originate, and which we cannot control." " I will not believe what I cannot compre-

' " said a man to Dr. Par r . " T h e n , " you will have the short-

may be—and he would feel more at ease now. if he could explain away the teach-ings of the Bible on the subject of the new birth.' Many have thus wrested the Scrip-tures to their own destruction. Reader, pray for M. and G .—" God may, peradven-ture, give them repentance, to the acknow-ledging of the truth ; and that they may re-cover themselves out of the snare of the Devil, who are taken captive by him at his will." ( 2 Tim. 2: 25, 26.)

BROTIIEB GRAVES: I am now engaged in a protracted meet-

ing at the Union Church, which I think will close to-night We feel thankful to the great Head of the Church, that He manifested his presence in the Cliurch, by reviving the work of his grace in faith and love amongst the members; and also bless-ed tlie word of truth, and by his Spirit He made it the powerful means of salvation to some seven persons, and to the conviction of some eight or ten more. Seven were baptized yesterday.

This is a very important region for Bap-tiste to occupy; this church sees and feels it, and are making good arrangements to oc-cupy this and Pine Bluff, and to establish a permanent ministry here. GoJ grant that they may succeed in the thing thoy are aiming at.

I desire through your paper to say to the Methodists in Tennessee who are finding so much fault of the Resolution's passed at Cotton Grove by the Mass Meeting of the Baptist®, to notice the language of our Sa-viour, Matthew 7: 3, 4, and 5 v. "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but coiisiderest not the beam that is in tliine own eye. Or how wilt thou say to ihy brother let me pull out the mote out of thine eye, and behold a beanr is in thine own eye. Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam cut of tliine own eve, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brotlier's eye.

In the Methodist Discipline I find the fol lowing on page 80 :
