of apostacy, and the fallacies to sustain it. In

the next place, I will offer some reasons why

ws should avoid it.

Secondly, it should be avoided because it

retards the progress of true chri-stianity, l y

removing a strong motive to e m b n c e religi.m,

and encoarages delay;; or procrastiaal^on. For

instance, if I were to eihort sinners to Come

to Christ, the sinner, belie-.-inj in falling from

grace, would be likely to say to iiimself, I am

young- nnd full of life, lond of the plea-sures of

thi3 world, and consjquen.'Iy if I oiitain reli.r-

ioa r will be very likely to loose it, so 1 had

hater wait until I am old, or -icL-, so as to be

more sun; to keep iL Wherea-, if I olfer him

il religion that will stick closer than a'brother,

thit will never leave him nor ibr.^nke kirn—a

ruligion thai; if once obtained will gire hi.m a

yiQd title to He.avcn—such a religion is w;orth

^ great deal mora than that slippery kind;—

therefore a stronger motive !.s preitnt-id to urge

Win to a grettter etfort.

Ag:un, the doctrine of apostacy should !)e

iivaided, because it tends to iniidelity. First,

Ijy having a gre.it deal of manisni ia it, tmd

but little of iiod. For that religio.i that catnies

and goes at the bidding of man well c;i.!cu-

lated to strengthen intidelity, by suggesting

tlie thought, that surely such religioiT'^is Ita^

®an, not divine, for why should angels rejoice

u m one sinuer that rep?nteth, if he is to jro

to liefl at last? Or why should Go.i seal h L

/ with hia owa image, if that seal is to be brok-

® and that image defiiced"?

Agtiin, we should avoid it, (aiiostacy,) be-

cause it ia God dishouoring, and gives room

for boasting. I t ia dishonoring God in that,

that it mntes a mighty God, but an almighty

ilevfl.

Proof: Take the case of Jadas, God, and

hia angels, and good men desire t i e salvation

of Judaa. The devil and his angels desire the

destruction of Judas. There is a war, a strong

eonteat; tnjd seem? to have tha advantage—

Judas repents and angels rejoice. The devil

Jeayes not the field, bnt rallies Ms forces—he

ia raccesHfol; Judas falls,, the de^il trinmphs,

«nd in this case, greater was he that was a-

gaiaat Jndaa, flian he that was for him. .

The doctrine of apostacy gives room for

BBOTITEE G A A V E S ; — I hasten to inform ymi

that I held a meeting in Rome, Srai'h county,

Tennessee, which coiamenced Saturdav night

before the fifth Sunday in October, and con-

tinued eight days. During the meeting there

were ten conversions, and several seekers left.

I baptized five persons last Sabbath^ at Buena

Vistii. The cause is on the march in tliis sec-

tion of cotmtry. To Go dwe give all the glory.

Beview of K c A. Campben'a Sept Tract

We Bia happy- to t ie attentioa of onr readers to the Mowing extract from Brother Sppolfc'a letter:

MBro. A. W. ChamhlisB has been paator of oar ahurch up to tHe first Sabbath in this moath, when, he des i i^ that the church would Bicuse him for the balance of the year, assign-ingiaa a reason that ha oould not well serre a ch i ^h and attend tc hia school at Lexing-tani

Ha stated to me t ^ t when ha Kred in Ala b a ^ , he waa opposed to the controversial diaraater of your paper, but since he has motedtn MiaaisEippit and seen the oppositiwi to Uie.Baptfata, hia mind has changed, and now beLerea that yon ars, and waa, doing right, anrt can bid yon Godi speed in the great work in ^hich you are en^jaged. He requested me to send lor tha Tewuttet BapiUt for him, which I will do, withiseyeral other names, as many aa 1 can get, and the money, in a short tinre. I have not been reading your paper but for a short time, and am well pleased with it, auil hapa every Bapnst in Miaissippi will take it."

In Tears past a serious misunderstanding eusled between the i editor of Uiia paper and Uta, C., which we h.Tre learned from our edi-tQ> wiva amicably adj^ted in their late meeting in M , and tiie most friendly relarions and kind feelings rijstcred. Two araiarnFa eaa always settle their difficulties. Brother Cjamhliaa while editor of the Alabama paper th^^ght the TennesHct; Baptist entirely too bel-nrose—that it was unnecessary- to keep our dintin.^Te principles so energetically before the pt iipli!—but since he has moved into the bosom of the South-west, he sees that it ia the very thing wmnted, heeanse the most determined and e-aaeless oppostion, public and private, is waged agamst Biiptista by the united forces nf Pedobaplials anti Campbellites, and ho now endar*a the very watnrcs in the Baptist that hn then opposed. We have heard our Bro. G. sjeak in the warmest terms of the late meeting between Bro. C. and himself in Can-ton, and we hope that nothmg will again oc-oar to mtermpt good feeling. Will not Bro C. &»ar ua with an article, giving us his views of the West and the state of affairs and the adviithle policy, j . ' M.

(l.l (Turn to Mr, C."» article, and rMd the para-graph oTor this figurj.and thi>n read ourcoraoient.)

We did not appeal to onr scha«riptlon list in proof that ire advocated ttanJ tinta^, but that ira repro-scntwl the T I M V I of the Raptiata in Tttnntf<u,ee and Uia Sooth Wcht, in opposing Mr. Campbeir* new tji-tem. which Mr. C. denied.

hope that Mr. C, will in a few months laori att'iapt lo answer ca scoording to the directions of the second verse.

(3 and 4.) We would inform Mr. C. for his better information, that Mr. Graves neither carritti nor nws ••a revolver to protect himself in hii e<iiioria! chair." We fijly appreciate the design of Mr. C. in alluding to this report, and we auppoM onr readers uiU also; and Tve let it paw for a specimen of the high.tonf<l gentlemanly courtesy of Mr. Campbell.

(5.) Inoor Reply Ko. 11, we made the following demand of Mr O.: °

Ton charpc me with putting into your month so many "notorinns fahrieitiona" of my own. when I quote you. As. That I a.-n "reckless of all the pro prieties of chriitiaa truth, ic. That I misrepresent yonr views, and teachings, and writings."

JTow, air, the above chaigeR I must nnhesitaUngly pronounce false and libelloa&—and fhalleuge you to show pnwf—I demand it of you. Until you do this, I put your aBBertiona down Tvith yoor declaration in ynnrK-ovember HarhingCT, that yon had no personal acquainUnco with 3. E. Graves, and knew not "whence issoetl the Tennessee Baptist," the oldest Baptist niper South of the Allrjthanipa."

Was it WTOPg in m in demanding at least one proof nader each "pecification? How doea Mr. C. meet the demand?

(7.) Mr. G.i ainrm- that b.:!th Eld»r B.-oadua, of Virginia, and Hder IferFtiith, of Sorth Carolina, re-pented of their opposition to bis teachiogs.

With all due deference to Mr. C.'s veracity, we mu3.t be ailowftd to declare our elf unable to believe this aiwertion until he sabmits -wme little proof. We think we hav. seen a disclaim.;r to this from the pen of tha Burrivicg son of Andrew BroaJc,?, and we know that the relatives of Elder Meredith regard this (for this is not the first time that Mr. G. ha.s publish-ed this to the world) assertion of Mr- C. as a foul blot upon the hu 'oand and father as a Baptist christian, ar:d a sound Theologian.

We re pablish the closing paragraph of Eld. Mere-dith'< Review of Mr C.'s ixrras on Remission and Regeneralion, which were continued through 14 Sor^ and if his vciceles« clay ronld but be reanimated to-day, we have no d.i;.bt but that he would hesitate not to reiterate this deci±>ion, matured, as he tells us it was, afUT :m attentive and candid investigation of Mr. C 'a writing?.:

Will the snrviving friends of these beloved breth-ren fnmiah tia any documents to disprove the above declaration) of Mr. Campbell?*

(8.) We confess onrfenlt here. We spokr as though tha discnssiona we had in onr Library were all. We ought to have said every one, vhoMe urifinyi ire have tm. We have seen all Mr. C.'s published diseus-•ions. Mr. 0. will cert-iinly overlook the hyperbole in our aaaertion when we call his attention to the same figure in the following:

"I •laesUon Tery nmch indeed, if he can Snd In tte United State, my ni dlspntKit that has •ssasitMl me, who will ms-taio him in such rteUeai, tratUeia amertloDs. Certainly alt my paUijhed d;Kassions dsmonatraU iUgratnitona falsehood."

The"fir?it witness that we produce is Mr. C.'s claim-ed convert, Elder Broadus, a very modest man, with whom a single intimation is equivalent to a brtjad and repeated assertion. On page 5, he says:

••Kow, hm It may b« npedient for me to remark that this miark of Mr. C.'s (which Is U war with tha sentiments of all nsageUcal writers) 1< a nai isgcvmax— ufonndxl and gri tnilons; ud 1 cnut request the reader to observe, that oar an-thorhaa oot rrsn atumpttd to shtw any grnrnj far lJu po-titien which hs haa hers Ukea.''

But hia friend and c«nvcft (?!) goes a little further In his tanlh article he says:

'•He has done wortse th,in this ais sxras dLT aisKSnts-savriD IT."

We hare also a Debate on Baptism, between Dr Jennings, a (Presbyterian,) of thU city, and Mr Campbell, published in l.?3a.

Dr. Jennings, ia introducing the Debate, speaks thus of Mr. Campbell's system of Reformed religion: • "That the system of Mr. A. Cjinpb«n,of BetlianT, tlr;inlA,

Ls caleulathil and JrjigmfJ to exclurte aU spiritUiiity from Ui. religion of tha BlMe, must be apparent to every impirUJ snj Intelligent irJiui.T r for troth, nho seriously eiamiass it; th»t itis tn fact a sT rsx OP isriPaLirr somewhat dii ni.sed, it Is ccnceiv J, that he himielf has lately jpren both in his wrltic,;!, and pubUchorranjuw, itts most deciiire p..oof." Pa e M. "

Did Mr. CatnpbcU produce Scriptural proof in this discussion? On page GO:

' -If Mr. C. in his re cponA, to mj reply, eren rpforr.Hl to any paaagv of scriptura in snpport of iii. iloctrins, it ia not reccl-lectej. and the lniprf.ss>oo on my mind is, that he did not.

On pafO T.l: "He hM npon this oecasioo, and whilst resroM. iny to my 2rst reply, the moflejfy to assert, that whilst the leaders of Ihe rarious rtlisfons sMts, Uujht the people to iv-UeTe in licir seTsrai glosees, and fatse eipositlons of th.! I!I-Ho—in on public exhibitions, hs presented to the riew ..r his aodience. nolhiMg but the pnra word of G.xl—»nj that ir there was any thing wrong, or Incorrect, in what ha hrU forth. SB worthy of their b«llef; the Bible, and not hinwelf, was Vi be Warned. This was a declaration which I was not prepdred to eipect «r«» from Mr. €., and of ail that hs ntterri at th» dil.rent times of the debnta, it ia beilered La alTancad noth. luj. th.st, for arrog»nca, and a bold disregard of truth, CVMIU be aai'I to equal this assertion."

And now what is the testimony of Dr. Rice? We have not the t:m9 to read one in even one hundn 1 pa- es uf the voluminous Debate, bnt open at page 647:

'•nij. atth arjuTient wus. that the Hnly Spirit is e»:i*l an Advocate. TliL, is but a repetition of the other. B-jt, as to adrocate, does ha In uence the mind only l.y words and ar^i. menta' The jectleman has not produced on* passage of Scrip-ture which so teaches. He boa<ts that for every articl,* of his faith he has a'Thn., saith tha Lord.' Has he. I ask TOC, my friends. raufCCBD osa raesaGB or Scairrcu raar scsxAniB nts PROPtismos. He has -not, sod he c.iiinot. Yat hi- h w Hxarao on me no slight BantoaCB and aacM," &c.

We suppose that we. as an abmej opp.>nent, are not then au exception. A^ain, page C89:

"He aSm:a, an-i has undertaken to pn,re, that the Eplrit operatesoniy through the truth. lUshe prcdttc^J a snltiary passag.; that sustains his prnpositiunr He hss not. an-i he will not. Where is his Scripture proof of the propositwu now be-fore M*"

Page 703: -ne has made the charge, anl cnrt mrrt I Tnaad the proof. I hart suppose.! iiim to be a man who h.-«l so much eipen-nce In public tllscussions, that he wocM be pre-pared at once, when he had stated facts, to prove them BUT IT IS SOT so—vsar Poa oTHaawiea."

"I will now procwd to respond to his remarks and ii^ti^s'j. If. indeed, he haa oSired arguments, to prove the proposition he affi.-ma. Let me ask you, my friends, has be produced one passage of Scripture that sa.vs, the Spirit operates in ccnver-lion and sinctlflcation only through the truth" What pisaaje has he quoted? Do .von remember ona! 1 certainly did not hear oo Qot d* Ui8 boy»s thit he iDore tliso all other men, confines his faith within the lids of the Bible."

If Mr Campbell ia not satisfied with this proof,he will please send us the rest of his pnhli.hed disc'na-sions.

(9 ) Our readers win all see without a comment of OUT", that Mr. C. carefully avoids the issue upon C!ar-Bonil What UrgiversationI We beg the reader to tarn back to Mr. C.'s bold declaration that he was as orthodox aa Carson and others; that he xcentfuUvwith them, "in all that pertains to spiritual influence in re-generation, justification, 8anctification,"<tc., and read ot;r quotations from Carson, proving the very oppo. site, and then see how Mr. C. responds! What a de-fence! Bnt what better could the man do, except re tract hi!> false assertions?

(10.) The introduction of Elder Jfaclay in thia shape, ia calculated to deceive the reader. The issue is thia:

Doea Dr. Maclay endorse your doctrine of spiritual inflnence and regeneration as orthodox? Fou sub-stantially affirm that he does—if your allusion to him nnd others, in the April number of the Harbin-ger, means anything. We have affirmed that Dr. Maclay has more than once declared to us that he had repudiated your scheme of regeneration to your face. What do yori row reply? Why, that Dr. Ma-clay, in 1815-lS, said yoa preached "the tme grace of God." So yoa might in 1815, have preached, in the hearing of Dr. M., and preached nothing incom-patible wiih the tme grace of God; but it is very pro-bable you didnot preach your newly-reformed scheme of regeneration in the water, and spiritual influ ence.

And thia is but the more appsrent from the con-versation he relates aa taking place between them-selves and Deacons Worthington and Caldwell, and other». When Mr. Campbell informed them' that "theirs was not the ancient gospel, nor order of things," and they pressed him to say wherein it was not, he only nrgcd, that they did not observe the Lord's Supper every Lord's-day!!

We say that Mr. C. evidently did not exhibit the dropsical features of hia Reformation at that time in 5ew Tort

^ ^ T h e great American orator, Daniel Webster, the last occasion on which he ever appeared in the old "Cradle of Liberty," ut-tered a passage on the nature of popular edu-cation, which deserves to be inscribed over the door of every common school house from the Atlantic to the Pacific:

"We seek to educate the people. We seek to work upon mind as well aa upon

matter. We know that when we work npon materi-

als immortal and imperiahable, that they will bear the impress which we place upon them, through endleaa years to come. If we work upon marble it will perish; if we work upon b ^ , time \rill efface it; if we rear temples ( i n will crumble to dust, ^ u t if we work npon men's immortal minds

The charge, iir crime, or heresy of C.impt ellism, so oflcn and so long ech«d and encon-d. and bodied forth by Mr. Graves, as M!wiM«pttCT ..Tf«<<ttFn ia/irme, n i funea tdrmptum-iUi to ba haled, needs but lobe •e^; "but seen too ofi, famUiar with iu lace, wc first enduro, then pity, tlien embrace." demands frum us a l»w preliminary rematka.

I was, from my youth, conversant with the Hal daoes, Alei. Carson, the Scotch Baptists, the Sande-manians, the Presbyterians, the Seceders, the Cove-nanters, the Episcopalians, the Independents, and the Methodists. None of them were Campbellites, in thn sense of Mr. Graves, nor in the sense of Alexan-der Campbell. Indeed, I never knew such a Camp-bellite as Mr. Graves has created. And, I presume to say, that neither he nor any one else ever knew such a spectre as his wild, untntored imagination, has con-jnred up.

Our peculiarity differs from all these systems. We arrange the items of redemption historically, viz: The generation, birth, life, preachings, teachings, mira-cles, prophecies, sufferings, death, burial, resnrrec-tion, ascension, glorification, or coronation of the Lord Jeans aa the Messiah of Jehova i. These all preliminary to the commencement of Christianity .— Je»u3 of Kazareth wis Christed, crowned, and gifted, medialorially, with the Holy Spirit, lo maka him the Holy Guest of his mystical'body, before there was a Christian, in the evangelical sen se, on earth. As yet, there was not a Chrittian on earth There wjre Jew-ish saints, prophets, martyrs, holy men and women, before Je«us was bom. Hehaddi«ciples,too,aswelI as his harbinger John. Jesus had apostles, public heralds and disciples, while acting oot the drama of redemplien; but there was not aa yet a Christian on earth, in its proper sense. They were commanded to tany in Jemsalem and await ths Holy Guest, which he had promised. At his coronation as Emmanoel, he received from his FaUier the exclusive dispensa-tion of the Holy Spirit. He sent him down to bnild his church on his death, resurrtclion, ascension and glori4cation. Then came a new faith, a new heart, a n«w baptism, a new body, a new Spirit, and a new insUlution,eaUed the Kingdom, or Reign of Heaven —the Kingdom of God—the e?pecial Kingdom of Jesas Christ. (12) This waa preached as by John, by Jesus, by Seventy special disciples, by the Twelve AposUes (13.) But it had notcome, and waa not in being, till the descent of the Roly Spirit, after J«9.as was made Lord, and had received the dispen-sation of the Holy Spirit and of the aogels of heaven, andwasdttlyconstitutedLord and Sovereign of hea-ven, earth and hell, and made the ultimate and abao-Inte Judge of aU the living and the dead. (14.; Here begins what is now fatjrisnai, and wickedly called CaiapbeUism. Thia is onr preamble. I demand of all who challenge this assumption, a Handard work of any lect now existing, wttiDg forth the commence-m e n t of Chris t 'a B e i g n a n d K i n g d o m i n t h i s inanner .

In the vindictive outpourings of Mr. Graves' the ology, no Cliristian Daplist or Pedobaptisl, can take either interest or pleasure. So suicidal to his own cause and standing a.s an advocate of Christian mor-als or Christian doctrine, it would apjiear a work of supererogation, on my part, lo bestow npon them a formal notice or exposition. We have lieen so long before the public, liolh orally and in print,advocaiing the great cause of Christianity against infidels, Ro-manists, Universalists, and every form of scepticism and error in the great and fearful r.poslacy that has paralyzed Christianity and Christian effort; and our plea having been favorably responded lo by myriads of the most enlightened and pious Baptists, ministers and people, as well as by a highly respectable por-tion both of the ministry and people of other denom-inations, that we are fully exonerated from the ne c«ssity of any defence against such apparently ma-lignant nnd feeble outpourings of vanity and impo-tent detraction. I really pity, while I cannot but contemn, the moral imbecility and presumptuous reck lessnessof any man, professing the faith and the hu-manity which the Author"and Founder of the Chris-tian Church enforced upon the subjects of his grace and the heirs of Immortality. I will, Ihtrefore, only use lhe;occasion and the opportunity afforded me of disabusing those under his influence, of the misrep-resentations and slanders with whicli he would retain hia dominion over them, and alienate their regard from us. I am happy to stale, that w-e are in corres pondence with some of tha most distinguished min isters in the Baptist community, that award to us as much orthodoxy as they claim lo themselves in mat-ters of any importance; and, more than this, admit, on the part of Baptisls, the necessity of farther ad-vances, both in Christian knowledge and a more Scriptural organization and jirocedure. • We do not hold ourselves responsible," they say, '•for all the outpourings of our editorial preM;" and they add, that I should no: "hold the Baptist brotherhood re sponsible for such men as fill certain chairs in New York,St. Louis, or NashviUe."

To such quotations from the •'Presbyterian Advo cate," as Mr. Graves makes from my address at Cin-cinnati, and such extracte as he makes from other sources, friendly or alien. I make no response Nor »haU 1 make any respon.se to many veiy bitter, and apparently, maUgnant utterances of his own. I deem it quite sumcient to print them and give them to all my readers, who, without a word from me, know how 10 appreciate their falsehood and maUgnity. I am truly sorry for myriads of Baptists, who, should they read them, wiU blush for their advocate, and grieve for his obtusily or want of good taste and good judg-ment.

His parade of elegant tropes, or, as he supposes them to be, conclusive argumenU, will make every conscientious and intelligent Baptist rather cover his face than smile at them, and exclaim-Is this the spint of Christ? Are these the weapon, of onr holy warfare? He acknowledges that even-the Pedobap-tists censured him for using "severe language." He

M R . G S A V P ! .'ays, "I point you to my aubscripLior: li.st."(I) But he hr.s given me oo copy of it! He vapors about liis largest snbfcripiion list in the world: Hia myriads of readers! Well, this is a puissant argument—a mere assertion about my myriads of readers. 1 Irelieve, oo belter evidence than he can produce, lhat the promiuf nt essays ia the Millennial Harbinger, are read by more thousands in America, in the British provinces, in America and Great Brit aia, than his "Tennessee Baptist." with ils ••ten thousand snb.scribers." Of course, then, we are or-thodox and he is heterodox! Payne's Age of Rea.son was read, and is read, >.y myriads more than Mr Graves' Tennessee Baptist. Solomon says, •Answer' a certain kind of gentleman, vulgarly called "a fool, according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own con-ceit; (Q) and again: "Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like to him." We propose to compound the two precepts till Mr. Graves gives his version of it, and will nu.swer him in the true spirit of their union. He talks of one "Refonner," a preach-er, who ignorea famUy worship. Ac. Well, we might condemn him and Mr. Graves, too, on his premises (3) This -'hear say" testimony is just about equal to a rumor that has reached Bethany, that Mr. Graves, editor of the mo=t popular Baptist j o u r n a l in all the world, carries, and uses, a revolver, to prrtcct him self in his editorial chair.(4) What does Ihis prove!

Bnt to take up his items under his own headings and classic expressions. I will compliment them one by one.

C H A N G S O F T A B S I C A - N O S . E T C .

I do not refract it-(2) I do charge it. and my whole response will constitute the proof of it. It is as true as Ihe Declaration of American Independence, that I have no perfonal acquaintance with Mr. Graves, any more than I have with any man to whom I have been casnally introduced, but with whom I never communed five minutes; and at the time that I said it, did not know where the Tennessee Baptist was printed.(G) I presume that Mr. Graves imagines, that all the people of this great nation should know him, being the most popular Baptist editor in ail the world. And since I am greatly promoting its circu-lation. if he wfll but pablish my 'responseB. it wiU still advance hU growiog popularity. I wiU not injure him, as 1 have done Klders Meredith and Broad dus, by commending them. They both repented of their opposiUon to me;(7) and Elder Meredith, who, for some years, opposed onr positions on regeneration and baptism, with incompirably mere strength of mind and argnment thra any other Baptist in Amer ica,or any where alia, waa not only eonviaeed of liia enw, bataetsaUj eaae oot ia atranr dafBse* of o«r

ExAnurxTTor.—The ei.aminat;cn of the vr.-lianx cja-sse-s in the i fa ir Sharp College, e.: Winchester, Ttnn., Tvill commence on Tuesday the 12th of the present month, and close cn lie 15A. Patrons of the school and the pub-lic senemHv are invited to attend.

tora frankly admit that this passage has no reference to infant baptism. (See Barnes* Notes.

That the Apostles taught and practiced the right, Mr. F. brings forward a few passages that Pedobaptist scholars have long since giv-en up, as Acts 11: 37-33.

N'ow, Mr. Barnes, (an Old feid? Presbyte-rian), is as aniicu.i to mate out infant baptism from the New Teitament as Mr. Frogge can be, and it will be readily conceded by all ac-quainted with Mr. Frogge that M-. Barnes was

fully /lis equal in scholarship. What is the honest ai;d frank admission of Mr. B.—•

"It docs not refer to children as children, and suouLD k o t b e a d d c c e d t o e s t a b l i s h t u e

raopni jTV or ixF.i>T b a p t i s m , cr as applicable particnlarly to infants."

But it is needless to notice the oilier passa-ges, fince .so many Lone.''.t Pedobaptist com-mentators have long since confessed that they

I do not teach inlaiit b.iptism—indeed they con-I foss that the New Tcstnnu'3t contains nj pro , copf, to n arrant ihc rl.e. I Martin Luihor says, "it c.innot be proved

The above is the title, and a peculiarly ap-propriate one too, we tliinli, which the mail has brought to our tabled

"Vye have glanced through this book of 1 GO pages and find that it purports to be a replv to Pendleton's "Three Reasons for being a Bap-tist," by a certain Tim. C. Frogge, rider of a Methodist circuit in Kentucky, by the grace of hi. lords the Bishop. If any are curio'tis to hnow more of this Frogge, we submit the fol-lowing as connected with his early history—it may be:

I Mr. Frogg, a taHor. who had left Charlest.jn 1 at the commeacement of the war, returned .• ome year-, after the capitulation, and got ac-. uainted with a certain J. \V. Gibbs, who was requested by Frogg to stand as godfather to one of his children, which was agreed to by Gi'obs. provided ho should have the^nameiag of the ci-.ild. As thev were going to the church the f.itLor asked Gibbs if he had thought of a name.

•Yes.' said Gibbs, 'what do you think of our Lieutenant Gov. Bal;'?'

it veiT much.' TL- .?'ni;d was accordingly named Bull.

Frojg did n .t imaiedlalely thick of the drcllei-v of the r.'nme, hut wnen he di-l, he could liav'.:

The nest 36 pages arc given to sustain in-fant baptism from the teachings of Christ and his Apostles. He only brings forward one passage to show that Cirist taught it. Mark 10: 13-r4.

This is an nnfortnnate •passage, for (1) it has no reference lo baptism, whatever. The very letter shows that these children were brongbt, not to be baptiied, but to be blessed, as pious parents were wont to seek the blessing of a prophet or goodm'an u^pon their children. See Gen. 4S: 14-30. (See Mr. Wesley's Notes on MatL 39; 13.) (2 ) It distinctly states that the disciples rebuked lihose who brought these children, which is sufficient to show that it had not been John's and. was not the Saviour's practice to baptize h i ja i^ .

( 3 ) Mr. Wesley i n N q ^ does not claim t h ^ this passage I iu i any l e f ^ n c e to baptism. ( 4 j TIm most emispU iedobaptiit camneata-

govemmenfccf Russia. Thnor.e who can think so is fit for nothing but a Methodist, for be ought to liave a master. /

Orer the government of 'lie M. 'E. Church Mr. l'ro?g»? has prop.:'rly written. "Tekel."— We must give him credit for one thing—the only thing "peculiarly his own, in all probabili-ty, ia the work:

He thinks it iheduiy of every sinner tojom the Methodist Church. He aay , "In the church is the lal place to ijct religion." <fcc. WTiat chis-dc.al language! And he claims at last 50 have found one passage to support the pernicious dogma of seekership. That pas-sage is the G7th Ps.alm: "And of Zion it shall be said that this and thai man was born in her."

Til-? Psalmist was speaking of the latter d.ay "lory of the cifr^ of Jensalera in Palestine, which is called Zioa, andMt. Zion, and city of God. The prophets loretell that in the latter day t!ie Jews, Jill the nati.m of Israel will ao-aia be planted in the land (Jod sware to their fathers, never sgain to be plucked up, and that God would in that day create Jerusalem a joy. "But bo yc glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for behold I created Je-rusalem a rejoietEg. and her people a joy.— And I will rejoice in Jerusalem and joy in my people: and th.? voice of weeping shall no more be heard in her nor a voice of crying," <fcc. See Isa. C5t 17-25. It is not strange that it would be an honor for a man tto be bom in her.

•What a conclusive reasoner is our Frogge! Because in the ultimate glorious and prosper-ous state of Jerusalem it will be an honor to a man to have been bom ia her, as it is now considered dishonorable, since it makes him a Jew. Therefore,sinners ought to jom the Methodist Church, and get religion m the class meeting!!! „ « 1

With these remaiks we -vml a l l w l e M Frogge to drop back into his jond. We would not te surprised if this bfldt did not fix np<ai its author the cognoman o i T t M Frogge to the day of hia d i B ^
