That we all need pardon. T h i s w a s a most effective discourse,

and was beautiful ly i l lustrated. T h e difference between DocHitij and Teachableness vras clearly exhibi ted.

w e shall learn what amount we should pay them, (see Num., 18: 31.,) it reads, " A n d y e shall ea t it in every place; y e and your household for it is your r eward for your service in the taberna-cle of the congregat ion ." It is yovr reward—what.^ the tithe, or tenth part of the increase you priests and Levites have received for your services in the tabernacle of the Lord . Read the whole chapter .

Now since P a u l applies this law regulat ing the pay of God ' s servants under the J e w i s h dispensation, to gos-pel ministers, can any one now doubt the how much they should receive.' If so—why did Pau l quote the law.' H e must have meant to teach us what sum they should receive, or it means" no-thing. Again, in corroboration of this position, Paul in his same letter to the Corinthians in connection with the quo-tations w e have tnade from it, s ays :— " D o ye not know that they which min-ister abou t holy things live of the th ings of the temple, and they which wail at the al tar are par takers with the altar? Even so hath the Lord or-dained that they which preach the gos-pel should live of the gospel ." H o w did the Levi tes and priests live, who ministered about the temple and at the aliar? On the yearly contribution of the eleven tribes, their brethren whom they served. And has God ordained that they who preach the gospel should live in like manner!" Yes—on the year-ly contributions of the brethren whom they serve in preaching. Did the or-d inance prescribing the mode establish likewise the how much the priests and Levi tes should receive. '—certainly— the one-tenth of the increase from

from the s i sources f r o m about SlOO, pe Therefore should any

small fraction in his favor.' N o ^ n o n e .

H a d we , pursuing the dictates of our own judgment , lieen called on to settle a p a y o r ' s salary, we would have allowed a parger snm than it has seem-ed good toi the God of all wisdom lo grant . Biit \vtien he speaks out as he has done v/e should bow with rever-ence, a n d joyful ly obey. Still there m a y be some doubt resting upon the minds of some, because the authority ' e leven. And should not a gospel min-in support of our conclusions has been ister receive the same.' H o w evident .

be less sharp and denunciatory on them for violating a like ordinance. ' for it reads: " E v e n so hath the Lord ordained, that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel ." A decree equally as obligatory on us, as that was on the J e w s , for not observ-ing which, God called them robbers.

Yes brethren, we believe it would be even more severe against us, be-cause we are greater offenders. Many of us, like the J e w s , s truck with as-tonishment at the message, (being ig-norant of the sin resting on us,) would, probably, as they did, a s k — " w h e r e i n have w e robbed thee?" T h e n would come the answer , withholding from my gospel ministers their just dues," fol-lowed by the dreadfu l imprecation "Ye are cursed with a curse . " But what sweet accents are those we hear mingled with the horrid threatenings? Lis ten! "Re tu rn unto me and I will return unto you ." Le t us then, dear brethren, wlio have depar ted from God in those duties return; let us bring our offerings into God ' s store-house or t reasury, that there may be ample provision in his house for his ministers and his poor, and as certain as J e s u s is on his throne would bless-ings be poured upon us—rich and abundant ; not temporal ones as on the J e w s , but far more precious—spirit-ual blessings, Blling our hearts with love, joy and peace in the Holy Ghost,

I t w a s uuderstood on setting out, they should cling to-gether for mutual protection and wel-fare. On arriving, they soon discovered a mechanic for making and repairing tools for the operation was needed, and having one a m o n g them, it w a s agreed he should serve ihem in. this w a y , and share with them at tbe end of the year , an equal portion of their gains. T h e work advanced , and it w a s foand at the end of the yuar , the eleven had had collected twelve pounds each, amount -ing in the whole to 132 lbs. A divis-ion w a s made , and . the eleven paid the mechanic l -12 ih of the g a i n s ^ l l pounds , remaining to themselves 11 pounds each . J u s t apply this princi-ple to any number of families, and the

And so say we; nei-ther can {>e understood by itself, a n y more than the type and the ante- type: but only {ook from the type to the anti-type , and back from the ami- type lo the type," and all would be plain.— F o r example: iri Due t . 2-5: 4., we find the church writ ten »he following law. " T h o u u-t///ice till l ime shall be no more, shall not -muzzle the ox when he tread- In conclusion, we beg the indulgence eih out the corn."

" E v e n so hath the Pau l , ths great commentator of the Lord orda ined ," &c.

BRO. G EAVES: In my travels through Eas t Tenn . ,

have made som® discoveries, which might be of some service to the read ers of the T e n n . Baptist . T h e Pedo-baptist . Anti-mission, and Anti-lem perance principles are combined to-gether lo overthrow the Baptist church es. In not a few instances, this has been seen. Sometimes it shows itself in choosing a pastor; in .other cases in the receiving member.®, &c

In obtaining a pastor , when the Pe-ilobaptists know, there are a majority of Anti-mission, and Anti- temperance members in the church, ihey will speak of some l ime-serving minister, as ihe most popular man and besl calculated to do good, of any minister, they have knowledge of. Th i s suits the feeling? of those Amies , for well they know, he will not prcacli about the making, vending, anil drinking of ardent spir-its. Neither will he preach about mis-sions, nor any other thing, which would hurt the feelings of any one. So this man is chosen pastor of this church , and all the errors of pedoism arc m -rebuhed; some of the members ready to commune with Peilobaptists , others will join Pedohapt is t churches; while the spirit of missions and t emperance are t rampled under foot. In this way the Pedobapt is ts a re ruling Baptist churches, in E a s t T e n n . Somet imes there are intermarrying of Baptist and Pedohaptis t , Mission, and Ami-mission, T e m p e r a n c e , a n d Anti- temperance ad-vocates. W h e n a church is composed ol these amalg imate i l members , the minister is al lowed to preach, only such things as all can receive. So the truth of God is kept concealed, and sinners a re rushing on lo ruin, without a knowledge of God ' s truth. In some churches, there a re disputes on (joints of doctrine, and instead of settling those disputes in the Baptis t church some of the members will call upon a Pedohapt is t minister to preach upon

boasted that they cleclioneertd two months, hard for a minister. As a rea.son for their conduct , they said the man would work cheap, he had preached a whole yea r for two doUars-and-a-half. One of these long-faced brethren, when an efibrl was made lo make up some-thing for a minister who had been un-fortunate, and was about to lose his land, said he would pay the minister one dollarv which he just ly owed him. W h a t a ' liberal soul, lo pay a just debt! Th i s member is said to ha%'e slaves, and a fine tract of land. If any man ' s soul would rattle in a to-bacco seed, certainly this man 's would. If there is an efficient minister, pastor of some church, and the church wishes to build a meeting-house, and news of this kind gets inlo the world, the Pe-dobaptists will try lo slander the min-ister or his family, through some of these amies, who are members of the church, in order to stop the work of building. A case of this kind h a p pened in one of the towns in E . Tenn .

Another mode of traflBc. If a min-ister is successful in his labors, builds up the cause where he goes, he must be put down. In a wealthy neighbor-hood, there lived a few Baptists of the right kind, who wanted meeting in their section, for this purpose a minis-ter was invited to preach there. So the man altendeil and preached; un-der the influence of his preaching a revival broke out; a protracted meet-ng was carricd out, at which, a great

many professed religion. Some of the converts wished to join the Baptist church; a privilege was granted, at length a church was to be constituted. When this was made known, the house which was built for, all denominations to worship in; (but preference given to one,) was denied to the Baptist. Be-ing driven from ihis place, to seek refuge e lsewhere , (not in dens and caves as of old,) but some oilier place to worship, they made an effort to build, which was opposed by the Pedoes, but when they saw that all their efforts were vain to slop ihe building, another pull was made; that was, to get the minister a w a y from here. In order to do this, some other minister mus t be spoken of as being the man for this )lace. So there was a young brother

came and preached there, and the Pedobaptists commenced praising him, and telling the Baptists that if the church had such a minister as this young brother, the church would pros-per, but while she continued the old pastor, she could not, for he was very unpopular. F rom this, one would think these Pedobaptis ts were friendly to ihe Baptist church. But see the Baptists driven from the house ol'wor-ship, and oppose i in buikliiig another; also persecuted in every possible way, and then say whether ihey are friends or enemies.

In the rcccption of members into the Baptist church, the Pedobaptists

BROTHER GRAVES:

Before leaving Nashville, I went to the Captain of the America for the ptfr-pose of securing our passage to the mouth of the Arkansas, according to previous arrangement ; but on learning from him that he wishetl a private un-derstanding ihat 1 must pay liim S22, I indignantly left his boat. Jus t ice to myself requires me to make ibis pub-lic, as the Captain of the America, without my seeking, had previously promised Dr . Howell to take me free of charge, and this had been published both in Nashville and Louisville.

So long as I am sound in all my limbs and members , I ask not alms: and if Madam Chari ly wouhl siny at home and attend to her own knitting, she would please me much better than to offer me public favors for private re-wards .

W e next got on the J a m e s Dick, which was then lying at the wharf , and afier bidding adieu to many kind friends, w e left the "ci ty of rocks."— Our passage to Napolean would have been very pleasant, had it not been for Its tardiness. Every thing comforta-ble, as lo fare; and everything agree-ble, as to company, was to be found on the J a m e s Dick; but the boat was large, and the river low, so that we were aground two days at Harpe th ' s shoals, and were a full week in getting to Napolean.

Napolean,—the very nairie would conjure a spirit as soon as CiEsar's: but what are names? 1 had frequently heard of Napolean—that it was on ihe Mississippi—at the mouth of the Ar-kansas, See. &c.; and had expected ihat it must be a town of some note: l)utyou will imagine my astonishment when on my arrival there, I found s few small log houses, with the Missis-sippi in front; an impassable s w a m p in the rear , Arkansas on the right, a la-goon on the left, and lioys sporting in skiffs in the centre! T h e Mi.'ssissippi was high, however, and the lime un-favorable. I proceeded immediately to a store to make inquiry for a Metho-dist preacher, that I might settle some business with him for bro. Shankland; but on inquiring for hira, and whethei or not there were any professors of re-ligion in the place, I was answered by llie merchant thiit "he knew nolhiiig of such a man, and that there was noi a church member in 10 miles of the place." After remaining in a wharf-lioat one day at Napolean, w e lefi for

Fort Smith on ihe ' P . H . Whi le ." I soon found that it wouki be useless for me, in my future Numbers , to aitcmpt a description of the sccnes which 1 saw nround the card-table, Ibr my descrip-tive powers would be entirely inade-quate, aii<l ihat I had as well "casi peiirls before swine," as, by reproofs, loa t tempt a reformation among a boats-crew and passengers: so I concluded lo let old Earth roll on, and that I would try to do my dutj-.

W c were nearly a week in traveling from the mouth tif the Arkansas to Fort

T h e Arkansas is so full of

paintings excite devotional faeUnga in them." T h e Presbyter ian church, when finished, wiQ be the largest house of worship in the place, but far too small for such a city as Litt le Rock.— The re is no Baptist charch there. On arriving at For t Smith, we found it overflowing with emigranu for Califor-nia; so that w e had much difficnliy in finding a place to stay. W e had lo re-main here one week for a boat to For t Gibson. I had , while here, the pleas-ure of hearing the Rev. J . N. Maffit preach s e v e r ^ times; but must confess that he came far short of my expecta-tions, both in theology and oratory. It issaiil , that , in listening to Cicero, " the jeople would think of the man, and in istening to Demosthenes, of the sub-

jec t ; " but if yon listen to Mr. Maffiit you will forget ihe man and his sub-ject , while your thoughts will be occu-pied in wander ing at the strangeness and extravagance of his comparisons.

Fort Smith has about 1000 inhabi-tants—is a beautiful place, and des-tined to Income, at no distant period, one of the most important cities on our Western borders. I t is high time for Baptists to look well to their interests here, for there are many citizens nnder Baptist influence, and enough of those

show their opposition to Baptists .— When t h f i e is a revival of religion going on in the church, all is well, but [el the church give opportunity fur the converts to join, and enjoin it upon them to obey the gospel, to ilo like the jailor and first Christians did, not to confer with flesh and blooil, bul go forward, then it is, that the opposition is seen. T h e PedoeS will say, 'r vert ouuht to read the Bible, and choose Smith. , for themselves what church to j o i n - j ^"•''gs

who are already Baptists to form a church. Our taslored brethren have formed themselves into a church, bought a house and lot, have stated preaching; and by their condticl we stand reproved.

Van Buren, also, 8 miles below Fort Smith, is an important place, contain-ing 800 inhabitants. indeed, the whole country from La t l e Rock to Fort Gibson is beautiful for sitoaiign and health, is becoming thickly settled with enterprising citizens, and, strange to sny, is very deslilute of Bap t i ^ preaching. Whi le Roman Catholics are so awake to tha t,rowing impor-tance of Fort Smith, as to appropriate thousands of dollars in the purchase of lands, and for building an institulion of learning; will not Baptists do some-thing? " L e t us not sleep as do others ."

After waiting one week at For t Smith, we took passage on a sipall boat, called " the Dispatch," and in two d a y s ;irrived at our place of destination; thankful, I trust, to Divine Providence for preservation during so tedious and dangerous a journey. I will say to my friends, in conclusion, that we enjoy good health; have been at sever mecl-ings with the Indians; wiincsseil sever-al additions tn the church, ami have some to baptize next Lord 's day.

The following we lake ihe liberty to extract from a business letter ad-dressed to us by our esteemed brother, ihe Rev. C. L. Cale, of Medon, Tenn.

'Fifty cents of this remittance please npply in answer to the call of brother Buckner, for Spellir.g Ixioks, &c., for the Indian Schivol. T h e brethren ought lo answer his call immediately, by sending the mjiney lo the Deposi-tory in Nashville, in order that ihe books may be sent on immediately.— Yes. Send ihein forihw-iih to brother Buckner, and if ihe brethren do not pay you for them in four months from the shipment, sememe the account and I will pay it, if it; is less than ten dol-lars. I would send you more now if convenient to do so."

Good advice bro. Cale, and your suggestion has tieen acted on. Dr. John W. King, Corresponding Secre-tary of the Nashville Indian Mission Association, haSj selected Primers, Spelling books, Fjtrst and Sccond Rea-der?, and small Primary Geographies, to the amount of thirty five dollars.— The books have been boxed up and are now waiting only for a boat to ship itjem to ihcir destinalicm. Rev. Wm. S. Peiry Ii;i3 handed us one dollar, beins a contribution for the above ob-ject, by the family of Thomas Ever-ett.

From Dev. O. J. Fisk w e have like-wise received onts dollaa, being a con-lril)ulinn of fifiy cents from each of his Kiilesiins.

Rev. W . C. Van Meter, of Frank-lin, Tenn., has sefnl us the following:

"On yesl'-rday, al Carter's Cieek, bro. C. B. Hadley handed meonedo l -Inr. W . F . A. Shaw fifty cents, Henry Hadlry fifty cents, William Atkinson filly cents, and W. L. McConnico fifty cents, to be appropriateil lo ihe cause of Missions. I think il best to respond to the call of bro. Buckner, and ap-jropriale this to aid in ihe purchase of looks for brother Bucknet's Indian

School." Ill addition to the amount reported

iu our last, (bro. Whitman's contribu' tion,) only ten dollars and fifiy ,cents has to the l ime of writing this para-graph, been received. Twenty four dollars and fifty cents is still wanted to meet the appropriation. W e trust our brethren will not be willing to see our brother Cale pay ten dollars of this amount, when the amount wanted would be but a trifle from each, among so many lhat ought to esteem it a priv-ilege to contribute for so laudable an objecU

Please publish in the Tennessee Baptist the following:

A P R O P O S I T I O N . As Presbyterians are using every

effort lo circulate by selling an<l even giving away, Mr. Eagleton's liiile work on baptism, in which he makes the most unprovoked assault on the Bap-list Church, I am willing lo contribute five dollars to our publishers, Messrs. Graves & Shankland, for the re-publi-cation of Eagletonia, by J. L. Waller, in cheap form, or provided they be fur-nished at five cents per copy—and I hope lhat some of my brethren will di) so also. My object is lo put our publishers in funds, and secure the work lo the public at one half or one third the price of publication.

A. B A P T I S T .

W e have heard several scores of baptists express themselves as wishing lo see Eagletonia in tract form. W e be-l ieve that its republication in cheap style, would not only counteract the in-fluence of Mr. Eagletons' tract, but be producliveofgreal good otherwise. It is a masterly review. He makes terrible havoc of Mr. Eagletons' positions, in-deed, shows thai his weightiest argu-ments are against the very foundations of his ovm system. . W e know of no tract thai would do half the good of this just now. It will make a iraci of some 75 pages ihe size of Mr Eagle-tons' book, and il will require some SSO lo publish a resjiectable edition. Messrs. Graves & Shanklund are wil-hng to furnish $30, of this amount, and furnish the book neatly bound at sixty cents per dozen. Now brethren if you wish lo see Eagletonia, just unite with "A Baptist," send in your S5, S4. S3, S2, $1. and if you cannot give, pledge yourself to sell, 100, 75. 50. 25, or 12 copies. W e will publish this propo-sition one month.

D E A T H BY M E T H O D I S M . Singular Suicide.—John A. King,

a Methodist minister (colored) hung himself at Newark, N. J. , last week. He is said lo have been remarkable for piety and correct deportment. For one of the race he gave evidence of unusual talents. He has preached ac-ceptably for 10 or 12 years, and bore an irreproachable character. H e ac-cumulated some properly and has left a worthy famdy. T h e manner of his death has surprised all who knew him, and is altribuled lo sudden and unac-countable alienation of mind—of which symptoms were obvious for some days -^apparently owing lo some sort of religious impressions. T h e following was discovered in his hat after hisdeaih:

"Under a deep conviction of the truth of experimental religion and its divine influence on the heart; also of the possibility of that divine influence being lost and the soul driven to des-pair, and the cause of God put to shame by me, [ therefore choose death rather than lile, for I am undone. My dear children, I leave you in this wide world, but I hope you will live virtu-ous lives and die happy deaths. My lear brother William, you will please

settle my affairs." The sum of So8 63, was found on

his person.—Newark Adcertiscr.

In the last number of the Tennes-see Baptist I saw an allusion to the misunderstanding between the Rev. A. N. Cunningham and myself, and know-ing lhat you will cheerfully correct any mistake which may be made through your paper. 1 deem it proper, in jus-lice to all, lo ask you lo publish ihe following:

1. Noone "interfered." Those who were present were there because Mr. Cunningham and myself requested them lo come and give us their ad-vice.

2. The difiBcully was not seuled, though the unanimous advice of those gentlemen was, I think, the best that could have been given under the cir-cumstances.

3. I do not know lhat Mr. Cunning-ham anticipated me wiih letters, where-ever I went, but I know ot one place to which he wrote lo my injury.

I have thought il proper to make the above corrections, lest some should think your information was received through me.

Respectfully, &c. W . C. V A N M E T E R .

In justice to Mr. V. we publish the above. There is in it no important correction- W e wrote from the infur-malion received from others. W e stand ready at any lime lo currecl the least shade of wrong impression made by us. 'Tis not our wish to injnre the hair of any ones heati or reputation, any further lhan a declaration of truth will do it. If any opponent of ours builds upon any other foundation, he must look well to il when storms a-risp.

What we called, Currente Calamo, the interference of the citizens, was their advice lo the parlies, lo Mr. V. al least, lo lay the mailer before certain adjudicators. Let il be understood lhat all threats of personal violence, and street cowhiding were made b^ ihe Rev. A. N. Cunningham, Minister of the Gospel, leacher of morality and educator of the youth, an<l pastor of the Presbyterian Church. Franklin, Ten. , and of Georgia cclcbrityC?)

Broken in spirit, weary in heart ol all the turmoils and contentions, and crimes, and frailties of this sin-stricken world, I now lie in ihe Valley of Hu-miliation, ready lo make all conces-sions and acknowledgements, if 1 may but be restored to peace wiih my brethren.

And first—to you I owe an earnest confession of sorrow that I ever so f jr forgot ihe meek reiireingness, which should adoin a woman professing god-liness, as to assume the office of a pub-lic censor of yourself. My brother, (if you will allow me lo call you brother,) I ask your forgiveness. 1 know, in-deed, that you have merited ihe blame I attached lo your name, but I should have had the courage to write to you personally, and entreat you in Christ's name, lo give up. lo lay aside, those faults; instead of screening myself be-hind a nom de flume, I should not have provoked you of speaking of ihem pub-licly. But will you not my brother, jray to God to give you ibe grace of lumility.'

1 have just risen from my knees, af-ter beseaching, wiih tears, ihe Loid of grace, lo endue you with a meek and lowly spirit. VVill you not lift up the same prayer for yoursell? Be not of-fended with me again, I pray you.

I have read bro. "Henry's"' aiiack me, and have also heard a part of your remarks repeated. The Lord grant you both a more merciful spirit!

I am a mourner in Zion. I have wept over the desolations of the spirit-ual Jerusalem, and I thought to be an

ambassador of peace." But one brother have I offended, and the other I have not reprehended with suflBcient decision to produce any good effect. O, I fear, I fear that though my whole soul is lifted up with the desire lo do giK)d unto Jerusalem. I am so weak, so sinful, and yet so proud that the Lord will not honor my feeble efforts in his service with success. Nevertheless I will render myself a wilUng sacrifice; my life, my healih, my strength, my feeble abilities, my all, lo His holy cause. I can^accomplish lhat blessed thing at least." I can live unto Christ, if I can do nothing else. My heart yearns over the desolate places of earth. I wdl go. the Lord permitting, to labor amid the heathen; to be the means of salvation to one poor idol-ilor, would be to me a subject of le-joicing through everlasting ages; a more lhan sufficient reward for every sacrifice I can make!

But perhaps my brothei Graves is smiling in scorn over my rhapsodies. So I must hold in to a point. I hope that the acknowledgements I have made will be sufficient to secure me your toleration. May I subscribe my-self? Your friend in Christ.

Dear Brethren in the Lord: The anniversary of ihe West T. i,.

Baptist Convention is dia«ii,g nigh, Miiil sfKinihe weighty responsiiiili-ties of another Conventional year will be upon us, whether we are prepared or unprepared lo meet them.

For the information of ihnse who have not seen the minutes of the last session, 1 would here slate thai ihe next silting of this body will be with Hiipewell church, Henderson county, Tennessee, commcncing Friday, be-fore the 2d Lord's day in September next. This church is near Pleasant Exchange, a small village on the road leniling from Jackson to Ross' old fer-ry on the Tennessee river, some 9 or 10 miles north of Lexington.

Al the last meeting of the Executive Board, I was appoin'ed to ride as their agent, from ihe 1st of June, till the 7Lh of September, the lime of meeting.

I have been in the field two weeks and have visited the following churches viz: Beech Grove, Eldad, Bluff Spring, Demoss'creek, Enon, and Thompson's Creek, all of which lie north of Forkeil Dt-er. 1 have the evidence lo believe lhat all these churches will represent themselves in the Convention this year though they have never done so before, " that I know of. Beech Grove repre-sented ilself while an arm. I have yet lo visit North Fork. Bird's Creek, Cen-tre, Bethlehem, and McLemoresville, before I return from my northern tour. I think that the most of these will re-present. •

New Hope church sends up 9 dele-gates this year. The north is coming up to meet the south al old Hopewell, blessed be the name of the Lord.— Won't thai be a meeting worth allend-ing.' Brethren of the South Western District, what say you.' I cannot speak for you, but if 1 am permitted to guess, I would guess that you will meet us there with a warm heart and a good grip of the hand. 1 will be with you during the month of August. I have been desirous for along time lo mingle with the brethren of thai Association. May the Lord bless our meeting to-gether.

I shall not visit those churches which are accustomed lo represent them-selves. for that would be unprofitable; but if you will not think it impertinent Ijwill lell you I think lhat collecting funds for benevolent purposes is a tol-erable delicate matter, and. therefore, loo many of the good bishops and dea-cons put off the evil day till horn blows, and then

R E M A R K S . T o this young la<ly we extend the

pardon she asks, alihough she does not recall one of her many grossly unjust charges. From what evidence does she judge us.' Did she attend the discussions? No! Has she consulted Baptists who did? W e presume not. Has she seen our vindication from the charges of Bradley & Co.? W e never penned one. From what testimony docs she pronounce her verdict? Why from the series ol articles set forth by the ex-mercliant. which we have pro-nounced, and do pronounce a tissue of misrepresenialions. If our accom-plished sister Lea. deems il just to u^iite wiih his bitterest enemies, and ihe bitterest enemies of the Baptist church, and condemn her brother upon their testimony, why he will forgive her of course, rememberinglhal "frail-ly ihy name is woman." May we

advise our dear sister, in future lo slick to her poetry, and let prose, and men's affairs alone. If she is playing ihe pari of Pocahontas for her brave, we will assure her that we do not intend lo kill Mr. Bradley. W e have no malice. W e assure Miss Augusta that we freely forgive her, and hope her brethren will, but w e are only sorry thai she does not understand the rules of justice and reason as well as rhyme.

P R O T R A C T E D M E E T I N G . The Protracted meeting al Concoril,

NUMERICUS, [No. 2.J W E S T T E N S . , April 2 4 , 1 8 4 9 .

T h e plain son of the west comes again to ask your patience, and the patience of your readers. The obscu-rity of my position in society, the re-stricted limits of my influence over men, together with the unpolished roughness o f my style, might conspire to impose an embargo on my pen and silence me forever. Bul three reasons shall now appear equal lo the prece-ding, I think, that fully vindicate the freedom of my quill, and whisper wriie.

1st. I entertain convictions which are believed lo be the result of a clear perception of truth, marked by a de-sire lo transmit ihem to other minds. This is natural—legitimate.

2d. I might, perchance, ihrow an accidental beam of light in upon some chaotic mass of things and thus aid in reducing them "to ihe beauty of tran-quility and the light of order."

3d. Sometimes I am powerfvlly of>-erated on. even at the hour of mid-night, by a profound, mysterious, in-communicable desire lo be useful to my day and generation. If I will but operate simultaneously in a score of directions, silver-tongued hope prom-ises success in one or more of ihem. So runs my apology.

Three things will now be suggested, which I ihink, the Baptists ought to believe, and three others which ihey ought to practicc—yi-s. lour.

1st. That the kingdom of Gnd on earth, is a unit—not two, a visible and an invisible as some affirm, bul one a» God is one. "There is one body and one spirit, even as ihere is one hope," Eph., iv. 4. A vast moral homegcne-ous empire, over which ihe Prince of the house of Judah exclusively pre-sides as lawgiver anil kin", whose au-ihoriiy is supreme; w h ^ e decision arc irreviicable. Every appeal to bis authority therefore, is ultimate. THat this autliciihy is expressed by, and runs through every article of the Royal law coniained in a book called the New Testament. And the Kiugh«> most peremptorily vetoed any blitpd-inous conslruciioii of the law or any part of it. r

2tl. His majesty allows no c o n v ^ lion tjf t-xpediency, no association^of policy—r.Q coaibination of utility, how-ever wise lo introduce any new ele-

- s

tnent into ibe sovereign code.j expel one feature iherefion wtluld be dishonoring lo his and equally fatal to ihe best il of his sulijects. "For 1 tesli | every man lhat heareih ine ibe prophecy of this bixik, if a l shall add unto these things, G | add until • im the plagues written in inis book. And if i shall take away from the wordi book of this prophecy, God slJ away his part oat of the hoi and from the things which a r « in this book." Rev. xsix. It H o w dark and terrible the de him who has, or shall violated ful and sacred passage of th^ word.

3d. Thai while every chu congrrgation of immersed presents the aspect of an indej republic, they are mainly sol following sense. 1st. In theirf slruclure they are nm guvernc depeniienl on.one another. 2il are all republics as it respetf other, and are equal incharlerd and privileges, and stand on I with reference lo royal favor; ni piety, and inteligence being ihl ure of each congregalions caps usefulness in ihe Lord. Thd live importance, therefore, is al al, not governme;nlal. Tliisgr^ munity of communities is rf by ibe same law of fraleml governs the members of an inJ church or community with to cach tilher. What the are to themselves the church^ themselves; uothing bul the al of the king can bind or loose i l case. These spiritual common in their fraternal relations cl one wide, imperial, social confa luyal lo one head, acknowledJ law. involved in ihe -same du^ interests, and destined to thef mortal inheritance beyond th This is a government without I without a model in ihe univers will the King confirm the menlo f any of those spiriluall lies, who, mingling the will with the will of God, destroy cacy of both.

Rev. xxix. 18: 19 .— How dark and terrible the destiny of him who has, or shall violate thia fear-ful and sacred passage of the awful word.

3d. That while every church or congrpgation of immersed believers presenis the aspect of an independent republic, they are mainly so in the following sense. Ist . In their organic structure they are not guvernmentaily dependent onjane another. 2d . They are all republics as it respects each other, and are equal in chartered rights and privileges, and stand on a level with reference to royal favor; numbers, piety, and inteligence being the meas-ure of each congregations capacity ifor usefulness in the Lord. Their rela-tive importance, thereflire, is accident-al, not governmetitaL This great com-munity of communities is regulated by the same law of fraternity that governs the members of an individual church or community with referance to each other. What the members are to themselves the churches are to themseU'es; uothing but the authority of the king can bind or loose in either case. These spiritual commonwealths in their fraternal relations constitute one wide, imperial, social confederacy, loyal to one head, acknowledging one law, involved in the -same duties and interests, and destined to the same im-mortal inheritance beyond the grave. This is a government whhout a type, without a model in the universe. Nor will the King confirm the establish-ment of any of those spiritual dynas-ties, who, mingling the wil l of man with the will of God, destroy the effi-cacy of both. No, they must fall like the house of Bourbon or the stronger house of Tamerlane. W e are all members one of another; members of each other in our churches, as the churches are triembers of each other in the great confederacy, govemmeht-ally cemented under one bead. Here, then, is one body animated by one spirit, which, flowing down from ear divine original, would seem to engon-der some general sympathy at once common to all; a sympathy that would impart to the membership more than Spartan fidelity—more than masonic benevolence.

Recently much has been said, in these quarters, and elsewhere, against the Baptists; and much more, no doubt, will be said against a people who flourish proportionate lo the oppo-sition and unfairness of the means brought to oppose them. Let the brotherhood listen with impatience to the fu^c ious calumnies manufactured and circulated against their denomin-auon for vile and malicious purposes; fordynastys much loved and venerable must crumble, shrieks, agonies anc long drawn lamentations cannot rescue them from the law of invisible d e c a y The spirit of vitality is wanting^—tbe hour of dissolution must come. My advice is, turn an indifferent ear to the croakLngs without. Let us . neither execrate nor idolize the good opinions of the world; nor shall we reverence or despise that lofty mental capacity of our racc, reason; nor yet bend the willing knee too long before the gilded shrine of fancy, charm tbe lieautiful enchantress never so sweetly. I love to pursue fancy in her flight when she leads along the lucidt stream c^ reason to perrenial fountains of truth, or waves a judicious wing arr^ng the green bowers of poesy, or royes wiih unwearied patience through ahe un-brjken splendor of intellect«ial day to pearling springs of philosophy; or pausing at meridian height, throws her heaven-instructed glance far be-yond the limits of those vast aerial fields iif light swept by telescopic eye, to the saphire walls of the New Jeru-salem, the brotherly abode of angels and of men.

A large majority of the acccssions reside iu our town; and they are per-sons whose high standing and respect-ability iu this commiinitj'.no man dare call in question—and remain here— and the moral worth of our country brethren is no less highly appreciated by us. W e make no distinction; "all souls are the Lord's," and it afibrds uie great pleasure to say, that many of our late accessions, both in town and in the country, are persons who are known and appreciated by this com-munity, especially that portion who move in the first circle of society.—

W e are now in the midst of a bap-tismal war; great excitement prevails in our community upon that long-mooted subject. On last Lord's day we had two discourses upon the mode of Baptism. Brother Plummer, (Meth-odist,) preached in the morning, and Bro. Cbaduck, (Cumberland,) iu the afternoon. As the subject was being agitated in our midst, and the commu nity generally felt much interest upon the result; having nothing to fear, and being anxious for our congregation to hear the arguments on both sides, after burying twenty persons in baptism, at 9 o'clock on Lord's day morning, we dismissed our meeting and request-ed our congregation to hear brethren Plummer and Chaduck, on the mode of baptism; announcing at the same time, that by divine permission, I would preach next Lord's day upon the same subject, hoping that they would extend to me that courtesy which I had extended to them, (unless they were afraid for their members to bear both sides of the subject discus-sed.) What tney will do time alone will develope. All I ask is, that this community will hear both sides of the question presented in the spirit of Christ and in the fear of God, and then take their Bibles and act for themselves with reference to the great day of re-tribution, "when every man will be rewarded according to the deeds done in his own body."

With many Pedobaptists in Leba-non, I have formed quite an attach-ment. I love them, because I believe they love Jesus Christ; and though we do not believe alike upon the sub-ject of baptism, il will ever afibrd me great pleasure lo cultivate wiih them the kindest feelings, and in the service of our Heavenly Father we shall ever rejoice to go with them so far as we can walk agreed, and when w e choose to take different roads, let us part in friendship, exercising the Christian charily to believe that we differ hon-estly; and where w e can next agree let us meet as friends and brethren, in the full exercise of that charity which thinkelh no evil. Then may we ex-pect a bright day to dawn upon our zion; a day without a cloud. Then on the lofty moral elevation of the cross, all the triumphs of the Redeem-ers church will pass in review before him, and he shall see the travail of his soul and be satisfied. That we may all possess the spirit of Christ, and do his will on earth is the prayer of

Both you and your numerou* read-ers, will rejoice to hear that the car of salvation moves triumphantly onward m our rural village and i u vicinity.— U p to this date one hundreil and fifty-three have professed faith in (he Bap-tist church. Add to that numljfir those who have professed in the Cumberland church, and among the colored popu-lation, and the aggregate number would be swelled to more than two hundreil- T h e interest has riot j-et subsided. On last Lord's day night w e had eighteen mouinera-t-of that number seven professed faitbsaChrist. But having no ministerial heljp, and being completely wora down; I was unil^r the painfnl necessity of adjourn-ing the meethig till to-nighi.

f o r Ihe Tennessee Baptist Camargo, Miss., June 1, 1S49.

BRO. G R A V E S :

Believing that all Christians will be glaii lo hear of just such a meeting as we have had here, I will send you a few items of the past week. The Methodists have had a quarterly meet-ing in Camargo, which lasted seven days, and has lesulted in the convic-tion and conversion of 16 or I S per-sons; among whom are the doctor, the merchant, and alwye all, the doggery keeper; who has joined the church and says be will quit doggery keeping and the citizens of this place and vicinity have agreed to pay him for his spirits, and I e.tpect il will be poured out in the streets before to-morrow night. This is the only liquor shop in the village.

T w o of our best citizens had a fight recently; one of them has professed religion, and the other is a mourner T h e one that professed went up to the other and said, "here is my hand. I hope the Lord has forgiven my sins, and I wanl lo forgive all my enemies." A hearty shaking of hands ensued; also, a good hearty cry, and all is peace. Surely, this is none other lhan the love of God. This meeting is composed of Methodists, Baptists, old side and Cumberland Presbyteri-ans, all harmonious in the work.

Yours in hasie, W . J . HOOD.

R E U B E N F O R D . For half a ceniury, Elder Reuben

pGrd was known as an active and use-ful minister of the gospel, among the Biptisls of Virginia. H e commen<»d lis labors in those times which "tried men's souls," and then, he was an able and fearless defender of the truth, as it is in Jesus. H e was allowed also to rench that period, when the fires of jcrsecution ^ d ceased to burn, and to jehold the Redeemer's empire, extend-ing itself throughout the whole State of Virginia.

Eider Ford was born about the year L742. No informatitiii has been ob-tained, concerning his early history. Ih the 20th year ot bis age, under the preaching of George VVhitcfield, he be-ciame convicted ot his lost condition as a sinncr.aiid fled lor refuge, to lay hold of tliu hope set before him in the gos-pel. He was not baptized until about seven years after, when, having heard Elders Read and Harriss preach, he publicly put on ilie Lord Jesus, and Iie-cnme attached to tlie Baptist church. Previously, however, he frequently ad-dressed his fellow-nien, calling on <hem to e3ca|)e the wrath to come. tHicr liis baptism, having been ordain-ed lo the work of the ministry, he be-came a most active laborer, in declar-m " ihe unsearch.-ible riches of Christ. In^he county of Goochland, especially, were his efforts successful. A large juimber w e r e introduced into the liber-ty of the chiiilrni of God, and in the year 1771; the Goochland church was Loxistituied, with about seventy-five inembers. This was amorg the ear-iii'st Daptiit churches of the State of Virginia. EUler Ford became their pastor. Such was the suctess of his iniuistrations, that this church gieatly increased in numbers, and efficiency. "Iti the year 1799, a season of refresh-niig, from the presence of the Lord, [•was enjoyed, during which one hun-Ulreil and twenty were added An-'oiher revival, contined mostly in its ef-

fects to the colored people, was real-ized in 1S06. Thus, from time to time, did the Lord atlcnd the efforts of his servant, with tokens of his appniba-lion. In 1773, several members were, hy letter, dismissed from the Gooch-

i iand church, for the purpose of forming \ another in an .niljoining neighborhood, j which was called by the tiame of Do-

ver. At several periods, other colo-nies were sent out, viz: Chicahominy, in 1776; Licking Hole, in the same year, and Hopeful, in 1S07. Many ministers, also, weie called out into the field, from the Goochland church.

During a great part of his ministry, Elder Ford had the charge of three or four churches; in addition lo this, he frequently exf j i i JcJ his labors into other neighborhoods, preaching the gospel of Christ. He took a leading part in all the efforls of the denomina-tion. For more than thirty years, in succi'ssion, he was ap[)ointed clerk of tlie Dover Association. On various occasions, he belonged to important committeesjwhosc duty it was, to pre-sent to the Legislatiire the views of the Baptists, concerning the grievances vv-hich, for a scries of years, had been imposed by ilie csiablishmetit.

Perhaps tio man was more universal-Iv res[)ecieil and beloved. Though his t'llunts, as a preacher, were not, hy any means, brilliant, yet his simplicity, aSt;ction,iind faithfulness, obtained the attention of all who heard him. The t.lamelessness of his hfe, tended much In increase his usefulness, and through-out all the circle of his influence, he enjoyed, in no common degree, the coiilideiiee of the people. A11 believed him to tie a Christian, because they saw in the unifonnity of his life, the fruits of the Spirit. The following tes-timony, from Semple's History of the Virginia Baptists, is now valuable, al-though it may be tloubled whether it is most judicious, so highly to eulogize any living minister; it was written several years before Elder Ford 's death.

"Mr. Ford is now about sixty-eight years of age, and is a venerable man indeed. Few men ever deceived less by their physiognomy than Elder Ford. No man ever sees him, who does not view him with reverence, at his first appearance, and no man ever was dis-appointed in him. Grave, without the least moniseness; cheerful, without a symptom of levity; modest, gentle, and afiectionate, in his manners, yet firm in bis purposes; he has every thing out of :the pulpit, which might serve as a model, of a gospel minister; his life is

; truly spotless, hts talents are of the : useful kind; in his doctrine he is some-; what tinctured with Arminianism."

A very strong attachment to the sub-

" r u r i t y , in principles and practice, (he at one time remarks,) tenders a church amiable in the sight of God, and comely in the sight of the world; thereby is God glorified, and by this heavenly light, are sinners brought over, and made to embrace the holy gospel of the blessed Jesus . As sound principles, and a wholesome dis-cifiline reflect honor upin the holy au-thor of our religion, ihey have also a tendency to promote the peace of the churches."

Respecting the duly of the pastor and deacons, he thus speaks: "A gos-pel church, suitably organized, will have its minister and deacons. There are relative duties these owe to each other, which are too much neglected. It is the minister's duty, diligently to ply preach the word, administer the ordtn-ances of Christ, to lake care of, watch over, and feed the flock of God. T h e deacon's duly is to serve the church, m temporal matters, providing the ele-ments for the Lord's table, and to stir up the members of the church to ihetr duly, in making conlributton for all necessat^y expenses, particularly lor the relief of poor triembers, and the support of their minister."

Some years previous lo the death of this venerable servant of the Redeem-er, considerable efforts were made by the Baptists, to sptend among iho heathen, the unsearchable riches ol Christ. T o some extent, these efforts were opposed by him. But their re-sults excited his surprize, and for sev-eral months, before he left this world, he professed to be thoroughly con-vinced of their propriety. A worthy deacon of one of his churches, now living, has frequently heard him er. press his deep regret at the unfounded prejudices he indulged against the mis-sionary cause. He even went so far as to say, that he believed the Lord had afflicted him, on account of the oppo-sition he had manifested.

For many months, he was confined to his house most of the time. The infirmities of age continuing lo increase, he was at length unable to ride, as usual to the house of God. He would then frequently prevail on his friends lo take him thither, and, supported in the pulpit by his brethren, he would, to the extent of his ability, exhort the church lo continue in well-doing. Thus he closed his life.

A SERMON ON M A L T . The Rev. Dr. Dodd lived within a

lew miles of Cambridge, (England,) ,.nd had offended several students by iireaching a sermon on temjierance. One day some of them met him; they said to another:

"Here ' s Father Dodd—he shall pieacb us a sermon." Accosting him with:

"Your servants." "Sirs! yours, gentlemen!" replied the

Doctor. Thev said, " W e have a favor to ask

" I f you refuse," responded they, " w e will put" you inlo the tree!"— Whereupon the Doctor did as desired; asked of them his text?

RIPLET'S NOTES.

The Four Gospels, with Notes.

CH I E F L Y Ex|ilonatory; intended princi-fpally fur Sabbath Stliool Teachers and

Bible Classes, and as 4n Aid to Family In-truction. By Henry J . Ripley, Newtons Theological Institution. ,

ITiii icork should be in the hands of every student ofUie Bible, especially every HabbaUi school and Bible class teacher. It is prepttred wiOi special reference lo this class of persons, and contains a mass of just the kind of informa-tion xcantcd.

T h e undersigned, having examined Prof. Ripley 's Notes on the Gospels, can recom-mend them with conBdence to all who need such helps in the study of the sacrcd Scrip-tures. Those passages which all can under-stand are left 'without note or comment, ' and the principal labor is devoted to the explana-tion of such parts as need to be explained and rescued from the perversions of errorists, both the ignorant and the learned. T h e practical suggestions nt the close of coch chapter, are not the least valuable portion of the work. Most cordially, for the sake of truth and righ-teou«ncss, do we wish for these Notes a wide circulation

tution, says: ' I know not that I have ever read so much commentary with so few occasions to dissent from the views of the anthor. I shonld sooner recommend the Notes to that class of persons for whom they were designed than any other with which I am acquainted.'

Dr . Chaplin, late President of Waterville (College, says: "He seems to have hit on the proper medium between thai conciseness which leaves the mind of the reader unsatis-fied, and that prolixity which exhausts his pa-tience and loads his memory with useless lum-ber.'

Dr . Chapin, late President nf Columbia College, says: 'His notes preserve a jnst me-dium between the diBuse and the concise. One excellence is, that he helps the reader where hs needs help, and when he does not, he lets him go alone. On plain texts, his notes are not obtruded; but on the obscure, they arc sound and satisfbctory.'

I lev. J . A. Warne, editor of the Compre-hensive Commentary, says: ' I t may not seem proper to institute comparisons between Rip-Icy and Barnes; and yet 1 will jus t say, that Prof. Ripley is, in my judgment, by far the safer, the more modest, and the less ostenta-tious guide; and I eannot but wish he were a-dopted universally, in place of Barnes, in oar Sabbath schools.'

The late Dr . Kendrick, Prof, of Theology, Hamilton Literary and Theological Institu-tion, says: ' I think them superior, for the use of Sabbath schools, to any exposition 1 have seen of this part of the Divine word.

Origin of Sin.—Two American di-vines wen; once conversing together aliout the various theories concerning the origin of sin, when one interrupted them by saying, " I t seems to me that it would be far better fur ministers, in-stead of puzzling themselves to know how sin entered into the world, to unite iheir effiirts and try how much of it, with God's blessing, they can drive out." "You remind me, madam," said one of the clergymen, "of my aged deacon, who, after listening to a sermon in which I had endeavored lu explain why God suffered sin to enter into the world, being asked what he thought of my theory, shook bis head and replied, 'Ah, sir, all I know about il is, 1 am a sinner, and 7 tru/t 1 wasn't."

tion—the i>er3|)icuity and precision with which these are treated—the judicious references to ancient usages, which throw light on difficult texts—their adaptation to awaken in youth, an interest for the study of the sacred Scrip-tures, and to aid their in(|airics after divine trath;give them a decided claim upon the pa-tronage of the Christian community. '

Dr . Welch, Pastor of Report Street Church, Brooklyn, N. Y . , says. 'I have looked through ths v o l u m e s with some attention and with very great pleasure. T h e Notes though brief, contain much information of an important char-acter to the student of the Bible, particularly the lucid illustration of the text from the man-ners and customs of the East . Thei r brevity indeed may be regarded as one of their iiecu-liar excellencis; rarely have I seen so large an amount of useful and important matter com-prised within so narrow limits. T h e y are in my judgment admirably adapted to the object for which they were written, and lo the Sa-a-day school teacher on invaluable aid, when known and appreciated they must soon be re-garded as indispeiisable in schouU and Bible classes.'

I ) r . J . S. Baker, Editor Religious and L i t -erary Review, Penfield. Ga., says: ' W e have carefally examined Ripley 's Notes on the Gospels, and feel no hesitation in saying, that they are well calculated to answer the ends for which they were designed. T h e style of the work merits particular commendation.— While plain and unostentatious, it is chaste and perspicuous. T h e faithfulness of the au-thor, in his notes on those passages of Scrip-ture which have referenre to the subject ol baptism, should commend the work to every m e m b e r of our denomination. W e trust that the period is not far distant, when a copy of it will be found in every Baptist family in the United States.

The late Prof. Knowles, in the Christian Review, says: 'Prof . Ripley has given us a specimen of the right kind of Commentary; the Notes are more srrictly explanatory than those of .Mr. Barnes; they occupy a smaller space; the style, though less pointed and vi-vacious, exhibits more sobriety; the principles of interpretation are more cautiously applied; and the explanations, particularly iin the sub-ject of baptism, are more correct. '

Rev . R . Tumbul l , Pastorof the first Baptist Church, Hartford, says: ' T h e value of the Notes consist chiefly in their brevity, judi-ciousness and simplicity. The difficult pas-sages are satisfactorily discussed, while those of a plainer and more intelligible nature are passed oves with brief notices. Prof. Ripley 's style is pfain and chaste,—not loaded with redundances, nor bristling with epithets.

Dr. Bacon, President of Columbia College, says: The teacher or scbi»lar will find in this work a greater number of just such i|aestions, as he would desire to ask, intelligibly and sat-isfactorily answered, than in any other. I shopld be happy to see it in every family and in the hand of every Sabbath schoil teacher and scholar of suitable age, in th3 land.*

The Biblical Repository, Andover, says: There are three things in these Notes which have given us much satisfaction; first, the kind and catholic spirit every where mani-fest—second, the labor is bestowed upon the really difficult texts—third, the practical re-flections are few and lo the point.'
