MV HiCV. AV. T. iNMAN, lli;MMOI.t)T, TENIfi "We, tben, «« vyorkura to({t<thcr with Him, iKjUnoofi you

itiao llwl yo rceeiva not the lirace of Ood In valn."~!» Oor. vl: 1. 1 Lh who «ii£i Unily coiivcrtfld ar« workers togclh-

er with Ood, The floUl of thoir ojMJi-allOH Is th« world, Uie fniltof Ui«lr liibor*'iN unto IioIIuohr ant] the end eveilastliig llfo."

Ood works with IJI« people Sn a two-fold ociiMi-r firstto perfect thbni in the]r own personal salva tioD; aeooiid, in working through tlietn to pi-ocuro ttie sdlvatlon of othors,

Intlio uiattoi'of otir own personal flalvatton, it It God that, "workH in us, both to will and to do of His good pleaoure." Not that we are •nfflulent of ouraelveii to think anything as of oureclres j but our sufficiency Is of Ood, "wlio is ablo to make us" perfect in evary good work to do His will, woi'king in ut that which is well-pleasing in His sight. His grace Is suflloient for all our trials. In the struggle for the fonnation of character, after the model of the great Exemplar, a contclousnoss of Uis i>ro«-cnce witli ns will strengthen every good rosplu tlott apd encourage evei-y hope. Christians are workers together with Ood (2) in seeking the s&i vation of other*. We are commanded "to dp good," to "be rloh ingood works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate." "Knowing, thorefoi'e, the terror of the Lord wo persuade men." As the "ambassadorsfor Ohi*ist, as though Ood did beseech you by n«; we pray you in Christ's stead bo ye reconciled to Ood." t ^ ' h e great commandment of the risen Redeemer to his oiiurch and people is in the language of that wonderful commission given to His Disciples Juat before hia ascension,-^'<Go ye, therefoire, and teach all nation^ baptlxiag them in tlie name of the Fa» ther, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; teach ing them to observe all thiiigs whatsoever I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." >) .

The mighty inspiration of the work is found in the fact that> Ood ia with us, following the same with slgna and wonders.

W« ace men who were sunk low in the scale of human degtadatloil lifted up by the; power of jthe gospel to a life of virtue and h6line8s,-*to a more elei^ted plain of manhood. Such a work could not have been effected withont tho divine itifiuenoe of th# Holy Spirit. ; « . ; ifj

Letuaconaiddn I; In the ilrst place tho asserted privUegea of the Christian. "Wo, then, aa workem together with him." It is a proplous privilege to be workers together with Ood; Snoh it work li defined by the apdatle to b^^'your work of faith and labor of love, and patience of hope lit our lM>rd Jetma Christy (he sight of God and our Father."

kingdom. Benevolence Is one of the highest excr clses of the human soul, and a heart fully itnbuecl with it cautiot .fail to receive in return for Jit* worthy bestowal a complement of Joy. It is god-like to i-elleve the distress of tho tin fortunate,, to lift up those who are bowed under tho oppwwlve bmxlens of life, to aid the strugglijig, sensitive one, and wipe away tho tears, from the eyes of Uie soiv i-owful weeper, and to give joy and gladness to the woary and disconsolate. In the cxerclses of >»uch heavenly labors, manhood Is greatly ennoblod, am tho sour Is enriched with tire mellow fruUttof tho spirit. "They thut be wise shall shine as the brightness of the llmiwncut;, and the) that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.'* To bp workers together with Ood Is a pi-eclous privlloge—

2nd, Bccttuse of its sanctliying influence upon the hearts of others. Tlie weak are made sb-ong the sorrow-stricken soul realizes t'Uioaiid immor* tality brought to light Jn tho gosiiel." The uilssioni of Christ into our woi*ld was to bring peace and good will to man. . That the goepel has been and is a . grqat bpneflt

to the human race cannot be denied. Through, Its glorious t<saching9 oivlli7,atlon has attained Jts highest perfection. There is certainly no, state or condition of mankind so blessed as that of thejtrue believer in tho liOrd.Jesus.Chrlst. . The transition (roni astate of coiHlomnahou and spiritual guilt to one of liberty, love and pardon is tiolly wondecf (bl, and the soul making the ti^nsition inust I'ealr iiojoy unspeakable and fall of glory. Whatoyer tends to inspire men tp rise in the scale of ibeing-^ to a more elevated sphure of uêftilne^s, pe nnpt fail to prove beuefloial to them Jn the very hlghpst,ae-^ gi-ee. Such is the influenoe of the blessed gpopp.l of salvation upon the hearts of all who will iêivp It. I t gives "promise of Uie life that now is, ftiid of that which is to come."

It is a blessed privilege to bp workpriTtogeUbpr with Oodr .ifi

Jupiter presides over the council, )[)ut at iiiMHove-r Sgn ploiisure acts in accordance wilh Itn dt'cldon or in opiJosiUon t«,it. The gods, In their nature and form, are not unlike humivnbelngii.

Thoy ore human belugs sojnowhat exalted and exempt from death. This Immortality i unlike that wo ascribe to our God—an «i*istenc»if with a beginning but without an end. Theoreti-cally thoy were omnipotent, omniscient and omnl-present;'but not pmctically; many things comUI take place of which Jupiter was ignoltmt. In their physical and Intellectual aUrlbutCB thoy Were superior to man, but inferior in niorsllty. They punished mankind for tho violatioa of laws Which hey themselves did not observe. Thoy did not ove mankind as a race, were envious of their )TO8pcrity, and cherished Uie bitterest iwientment

toward those who failed to rcMdw them dno honor. Impartial love was not to be found among tliom; they had their favorites over whom thoy excrclwd an especial tare.

As man realizes his dopendonco and finilenofls, he longs for protection, his soul instinctively goes out to some superior being for aid and guidance. It is tills principle of man's nature that makes him a praying being, that gives rise to worship. The gods claim, as Uielr especial honor and prerogative, o|ierings at the hands of men. Those cities and individuals sro most loved who sacrifice most. Some dire calamity is sure to befall him who. whether intentionally or accidentally, falls to ol&r due sacrifice. Froin this view arise motives in-tensely selfish for tho worship of tho god«i. Sacri* i flees aremado to propitiate the gods as favor is gained from earthly Boveroigns by gifts. In like manner prayers wore made aspiotitions ibrsome special object, not confeaslons of any Ill.<losert,but rather as cpmplalnts for some unmerited suffering or neglect, but there was no belief in the efficacy of prayer 5 tlie god grants or reiusc* the request at Ms iJleasuro. But a* the gods bleas those Who con-form to law, thoy punish the transgressor. Homer .t boar* unequivocal testimony of the doctrine 6f rdt-ribuUon.

As man's lovo for an object l>e(!om<is sUnoiiger the greater is his desire lo work for and please tliat object. Our love for God will docide our work for him, our thoughts, word* and actions; and these (X>niititu^ our (jharacter. The Urerk olmracter was forined In accordance with his religion. In tlie conAtsion of many gods, not always in har-mony with one another, doubt and distrust arose in iho mind in i-espcct to the iwwer and wilUngnoss of tlie gods to exercise Justice and mercy. Olym' pus was often tho scene ot strife and contention . Thus doabt, thus dlst'ust would wcakou love. This would dhnlnish the works of love, henco character. While GrOeco was eostlmtlo under Athent , valiant under Hars, victorious under Ztui Boteer, and uudor Apollo endowed with tho greatest tklll in art and highest intelloctnai ken. y«t she lacked tho one holy God bohlndl ieso to give uhlty to their fklth and ciiarocter.

In "Prometheu* Bound," Jupiter is.rep resented as an arbitrary despot, who ha* usurped tiie throne of his father, and Ia in turn to bo over-thrown by Hercules one of his degceudnnts. He is ignorant of tl)o future, which is only known to Prometheus. He possesses many of the attributes which are ascribed to him by iionior, but 1 would not learn from this j Sschylns' concoption of Jupi tor, as vê would not loai'n the theology of 3IiUon from the rebellious ravings of Satan in ''Paradise Jjost." Throughout hi* tragedies Jupitor is ad dressed by *uch epithet* as apply to Oir God. He 1* the universal Father, the universal Cause, tho All-seer and All-doer, a wise, just and- merciful Iluler, the King of kings; of the happy most hap-py, of tho perfect most perfect power; blessed Zeus.

The god of ^schylus, unlike the god of Homer, hear* the prayers of his creatures. yEschylus everywhere testifies to tho belief I i tho olHcacy ot prayer, notwithstanding tho docrcos of fate. But prayer will not be answered without exertion on the part of the supplloauU Tho god of iUschylus I* a xealou* god, demanding of his oroatures duo worship; and has not God comnmndcd us to serve him alone 7 Jupiter is an avenging god., Sin is Inevl^bly followed by 1U penalty. Ho is alike just and merelful. He has offend pardon and h willing to be reconciled to hi* erring creatures. Prometheua, after his long sufferings, is reconciled and rMtbred to the favor of Jupiter by Jupiter's own son. In tho restoration,, of the transgressor a fierce *tru||(gio U represented between the exocuitors of juatloe and power* plowing for mefcy.

FOllEIGN BIBLE SOCIETY. TjiDlTOll BAPTIST:—A paragraph was recently ^ Iiifiiorf«d in the Bnptitt Jtejltctor by tho editor-in-chief which has gone tho rounds of Uio pai»ers, the eri-onoous statements in which I wish to correct. Tho editor states that I have been apjiointed an agent of tlie American and Foreign Bibl^ Society for the Soul It at a salary of 12,500. lie is mistaken in both these statements. I havo not been ap-{winted as agent of that Society for the South at large, and no such salary as ho intimate* has been proffei-od to mo.I have been re<iucsied tosuperlnteiui ttie interests of our denominational Bible work in two of the Southern States, at a small conditional, salary—(wnditlonal as to tho time which I can spare from in y evangelistic work to promote the interests of the Bible cause, and also as to tho nature of tlie scrvicos which I may be able to render to this Im-Ijortant enterprise.

And now allow mo to say a few things In reiatJon to the American and Foreign Bible Society. I was present at its organization in the spring of 1837, and Ihavo watchcdlts progress through all It* historv with groat interest. The Society ha* done a great work. Since its organization it has raised and ex-pended in the work of translating aud circulating tho sacred Scripturoslmore than 11,000,000. Many a ]K>or bonightod hoathen has thus had theliamp of Life put into his hands who, otherwise, would have pcrisiiod in his blindness. But the Society would doubtless have accomplished vastly more good if It had not been environed for years past wlIli the most untoward circumstances. The unfortunate division luourown ranks, which gave rise to the American Bible Union; tho bitter opposition of thoold Amer-ican Bible Society, whoso unjust discrimination* against tho versions of our UapUst missionarie* had driven the Baptist* generally from that Society, and tlio interference of rival societies ith tlio legitimate work of this Society—all these opposing Influences iiave boon arrayed against the Sêty, and have greatly crippledits work for some years, paat But now that thci American Bible Union has licen broughtiutoltsbosom, wlth ita extoneiveand mort valuable library, stereotype platea, etc., and the kind-est feeling between tiio Bible workers In both tliese organisations has been restored, the American and Foreign Bible Socioty having , agreed tp cover the whole ground wlUch the Bible Union sought to oocu py,8nd give a fkltlifbl translation of the mfred Scrip-tures In our own land a* well aa in foreign field*; aud as thU Society ha* n good ishartor nod various dgaqiesln lands and money, thU Income of which

alone can bo used for Uio pnrpoae* of tho Socioty, I

s^ no rea*on why the Society should not now be re-liablUtated, and why iho friend* of a full and fkith-ful translAtion of the Bible into All thovaritm* lan^ guage* of tho earth—our own among the re*t— should not rally to it* support and give It tho moan*

Many chaii|^'' luive token place in our churches and gpvornliaent; and I can say I was Puce youiig but now Aih'ild^ ' and I have never seen a time when there wa* mora ' need of falUifuI preaching than , there is at the pn^nt.

Thl* year (18^2) find* ' mo in the field, ag ain \|aming sinner* to flee frotn the wrath to come, opposing infidelity, wmbatihg against false theories, exposing spiritual ilreaêt* in high places.

Air. Magco sbowcd lhatjie has good tatciit, and some one told the writer of this tliut 31r. Mague is the best writer of his ago that was ever in the college. His piece was open to criticism lu matter and delivery. There were some beautiful padsagoH In it, but fre<iuoiitly one would (eel tliat the l>cauty was all niared from want of natnralnoss. No one could help feeling that it was a more fancy without evtin the must re-mote counection with facts,. Besides, the i-niidition was not good. IIU gestures wore very frequently quite incompatible with the ideas which ho de-sired tn cxprcstt. There was also a trequent lack of suitable woi'ils fo the idea-* exprussed, remind-ing one of a giant in dwaifs cliilhes. Again, his piece was ciKircly too long. The faculty ought to see Ihattiie aiidioii(;o Ih nut again subjected to such absnrdly long itrodiicthtiis. Mr. J. P. Williams, of DoKttIb, Miss, next favored the audience with a very good speech on -'Our Country's Need." It was timely, and had he not been a little unfortunate in some of bis illustration It would have been ex-ceptionally good. His reference to Mr. I^mar's conduct totichlng the silver bill, and also to the Kemper cotmty munler, were out of taste, as there are two sides to the question, and some vwry good I)eoplo have dlffef^d about both of them. The dialogue given by the society was mo<lerately goocl, and some parts were well acted—-as well as could bo expected, perhaps.

The Hermonian Society gave its. annual exhibi-iion on the night of the 24th. Mr. Smith gave us a very creditable spoeeh on "Excelsior." Heqhowed that he possesees some of the elements of an orator. Mr. F. D. Baars thou favored the audience witli a song, "What will the next sensation be!" which they seemed to enjoy. "Self,e your Opportunity" was the siibject of ,a very excellent oration by Mr. J; B. AhdeMoir. Mr. Anderson did himself and solidly credit, and tho subject Justice, all things cCtiklderod. The next thing , on tho programme was a'dialogue; anlufbrior selection, and Indlffcr-•ntly acied. Tho annual address was dellvored by Mr- J. t\r. LumblCy. His'subject was "Charjcttr

There was a want of unity of thought He was qnlle unfortunate In ascribing the saying, "A sound mind In a found body," to Horace. Every college boy ought to know that It is found In the celebrated prayer of Juvenal. The writer never heard a commencment sermon of njore unction. Tho Hue of thought was a happy one for the oeoaslon. At uight Bev. W. B. Carroll, of Maoon. Jllss., preached a very good but Incomplete sermon Im;-fore tho society of Missionary Inqulr)-. On Mon-day night Col. W. II. Jack, of Natchitoches, La., deUvered an able and eloquent address before the Literary Societies of tho College and Female Insti-tute. The Judge showed the absurdity of that somewhat popular idea that religion «nd science areantsgonistlcal to ench other. He very clearly proved tho impossibility of either ever being dl-vorcetl from tho other. The only criticlHm we heard was that It was too long. The Judge is a man of broad culture and strong native abiliiy.

On Tuesday the 27th, the address iNifuro Alumni Association was deli vera! by Bev. George B. Eager. His sul>ject''was "The New South." He verged along on very iirecarlous grounds, because tho idea is a dangerous one.' The present danger Is that we are about to have, not a new South, but, Uic Old South norlhernizcd. His stwcch was well prepare*!, almnndlng in pretty thoughts. It was well delivered and noemcd to give very general satisfaction. Tho real objwiiion lo the siwech was its lack of practical suggestion's in the way ot meUiotlsby which we may meet tho demands made by the "New South." There was something done by tho Alumni in the way of raisi% funds to meet the increasing demands of tho institution.

Tuesday night tho regular Commeucemcnt Ex-ereises of the graduating class were held In the college chapel. There w«re a great mai y present, and the young gentlemen who, hftving their last say before taking the skin of a sheep, did them-selves and tho iiiMtltution crcdlt. An oration for tho degree of B. S , by J. Q. Martin. Subject, "Klchard loves Bichard," was a well prepared and well delivered pro<lnction. Mr. J. B. Dudley de-livered a very good oration on "Our Country." The next was aii oration by B. H. Lowrey on the "Influence ot Woman." lie said many good thiD jfs, and if the vomeu who were present will act In ac-cnnlance with his suggesliûs they will do more in molding public sentiment than many of them have yet done. J. B. Perkins dcÎvcr^ a most excellently prepared and sensible oration on tho subject, "Tho Evening Shadows Point To-wards (bo Dawn." The oration for flrst honor was delivered by J. G. Chastain, "G<mitng Events Cast Their Shadows Before." Tiie addreas of President Webb was very much enjoyed by all who heanl It It abounded in good, practical sug-gestions, well said. This closed one of the most prosperous sessions of this grand old Institution, which has been well called the heart of the Baptist! in Mississippi. If her iuflueuce spreads for Ue next quarter of a century as it has for the last, her sons will rise up from every quarter of the earth to call her blested. V.

others of tho aposllOB, «aw a man canting outdevlls

in tho name ol tho ilastor, ho forbade him, and (ho

reason he assigned for It was, '-iMjcause ho followed

not u8"--lhe twelve apostlos. John and theso

apostles who acted with him orred throuuh Igno-

rance. Thoy wore under tlio Impression thai this

man was acting In violation of tho order of the

Master, and It was zeal for his Mastor'w authority,

and not a hareh, oxcluslvo spirit that prompted

John to forbid him; for ho ^ m e d to be unmind-

ful ol tho fact that it was not the duty of every dis-

ciple who wrought in tho name of .Jesus to atrcom-

pany tho aiwstles.

But what possible application caii this have to

tho false teachers of tills age,—men who are acting

in open violtôn of the commands of Christ, and

teaching meiTto do so,—men who, by their teach-

ings and the traditions of their Elders, manifestly

subvert tho whole gosiMsl of Christ?

Tho man whom John forbade to cast out demons

wasuotanoncmy of(5hrist. H e was not mlsteach

ing tho doctrine of Christ. H e was not trying to

turn men away from Christ or teaching them to

disobey his autiiority. H e was an open friend a m

disciple of Christ, possessed of a remarkable

strength of faith in Christ by which ho was

enabled to cast out demons, and was laboring

to advance his cause and his honor. The onl

question in tho mind of John was, ought ho to c;

out demons, which was one of tho tosU of their

aposUeship. It was this and only this misappi-o

honsion which Christ corrected, but ho did n ^

like Bro. Jilaton, admlnUtor a sharp robiiko to him

A n d when this fiuostlon waa raisoti in tho church

at Jerusalem, tho record reads!

"But thoi-o rosto up corttthi of the sect of the i'liarUecs which believed [t. in Christ, and were members], saying, That It was m»odftil to circum-else tlioui. una to command them to keep the laws of MoKes,7 v : 5, K

(2.) A n d in this language ho taught those

churches to regard them and tiioir toachlnj^:

" I marvel that you aro so soon removed from hliu who called you Into another gospel, which is Uol another; but there bo some who trouble you and M'ouhl i>iijrvert the gospel of Christ, But though' we, or un angel from heaven, pl-oach another gos^ iwl uuto you than that wo havo prca<shal unto you ol him bo accursed. . .. . 1 would they were

cut oil" who trouble you"—fexcluded from the church, wlilch it was not In Paul's powor to n.i> complish, but he could wish and adviso It]

"Behold, I. Paul, say uato you, that if yo be clr-cuHicisod, Christ shall prollt you nothing. . . ChriMt is become of none effect unto you. . . Yo did run well; who did hinder, that ye should not obey the truth? This iiersuasiou uometli not of him that callcth you. A lltOo leaven loavoneth the wholt^ lump."

(3.) To tho church at Coriuth ho w r ^ thus:

"For such arc fulso apostles, deceitful'workers,

transforming themselves into apostles of ChHst.

A n d 110 marvel; for Satan himself is trausfonned

into uu nngol of light. Therefore it is no great

thing if hu mitmlem [those brethren wore not

uwaie that they wore the ministers of Satan] also

be transformetl as tho minlstera of righteousness;

whoso end sMIl L)o according to thoir worka."

(1.) To the church at I'hlllppi he wrote thus:

'•Jb'or mnny walk, of whom I havo told you be-

fore, and now toll you even weeping, tliat they are

the enemies ot the cross of Christ, whoso end is de-

struction," Phil. Ill: 18.

(i5.) H o w did he instruct tho churches to treat

t heso false teachers, tliough professed Christians and

brothren ?

(0.) To tho church at Bomo he wrote:

" N o w I ontroat you, brethren, to watch those

who arc making factions and laying snares, con-

trary to the teaching which you have Icartted, and

tarn mmn from them', lov such tike onet at they wo not in subjection to our anointed Ixjrd, but to their

own apwtlte; and, by kind and complmentaru word*, they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting."

(7.) To tho church at Thossalonlca he wrote: " N o w wo ohargo you, brethren, in tlm name of

our Lord Jems Christ, to withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly, and not according to tlio instruction which you roceive IVom aa. . . But If any one obey not our word, by thia letter, point him out, and do not associate witli him, so that ho may bo put to shame."

That I havo not an improper construotlon upon

those ScrlptureH, the testimony of A . Barnes and

A d a m Clark will convince all PedobaptUta upon

Paul's advice to Timothy (v: 22).

N o w wo most emphatically declara the aplrit oi

fealty to Christ and to his doctrine expressed by

Paul in th« above passages, a most jioblo spirit

because most Ghrlst-like; but does he not com-

mand a very dlitbrant course from that obMrved

wo thought Dr. Dooms' subject was, at

1. Bantism is a pro-requisite to membership in the kingdom or church ot Chrlston earth.

2. John the Baptist was not baptized.

Erao, he never was a member of tho king dom of Christ. ^

The disciples of John the Baptist were not rtiem^ bers of the kingdom of Christ; unless Christ bad a kingdom on earth before he had disciples.

If the membership of an institution can precede

tho memlMsrshIp of its founder, then could Christ bo

later in His kingdom than John tho liBptlat

Conway, Ark, W . M . Lea.

Hemaukh.—Wodo not supiKiso the questions in

volvcd In tho above queries trouble the mind of

our Bro. Ixia, but that ho submits them for expht

nation for tho benefit of brethren generally. Oho

thing all Bible readers should understand, and aB

thinking persons do understand, vlx: . That the

general laws and precedents that govern churches

as well as worldly organizatlbns after their estab

lishment are not always those which are necessary

and. adtnlssablo in (heir inchoative or formative

state. In the formation of the (Irst Masonlo lodge

all tho ofllcors woro^ themselves initiated. They

were cpmpollod to assume official powers a.hd to

initiate other's, their powers and tho oiBcea

they performed were self-assumptive. N o lodge

could be started to-day as the (Irst ono W M , and the

aots of thoso first oiQcei's are in no sense regatd^d

as precedents for (he,Masons of to-day, 8 0 wll^

the inchoato state o f (ho churah and kingdom of

Christ. While i(a Divine Head aud Lawgiver

enacted it as a law that no one'could enterfiÎa

kingdom without baptism, yet from the very nia-

turo of the case Uio first admlnlatrator of baptism,

bo fio man or angel, must aecesBarily bo unbaptlsr

ed. But tho authority of the Almighty Founder ia

quite Bufllolent^to valldato tho ofllclal ao(a of the

first admlnlBtrator, although Ohrlat could iint

W e certainly need not occupy apace In applying

these fundamental and aziomatld prinoiplea to the

questlona above propounded. The mind that can-

not apply (hem would be incapable of apprehend-

ing shottld'we apply them.

W o will, therefore, only notice the false aaaump-

tlona of the premlaea.

Oê first argument (to which the reader will

please refer):—

It is not truo that baptism alwaya was an ecaen-

tial pra-requUIte to memberahlp in Cfarist'a church

or kingdom on earth. Thia dependa upon the will

of ita Sovereign King. I n the case of John the

firat adminlatrôr, tho K ing chose him aaUia aub-

Joct and ei^powered him to act aa H is fint offlMr,

and thia act conatituted John aa tridjr a member of

ChriBl'B kingdom aa the act of baptiam could lutve

done. John w a s certainly a member of the gov-

ercment of whieli he wag a Aill (Mmmlasioned of-ficer. A u d It ahoitld be borne in mind that John

received his commlMlon directly fVt>m Cbriat, aa

Jehovah—the coming One—the 'HVord"—aa ever

Paul did hia. John waa' commlnaioned by H i m

before H e descended, and Paul received hia after

Christ had ascended. See Halachi lii: ^Behold I

will aeud my meaaenger, and he Bhall preparb tho

way before me"—Christ—and tho Lord whom ye

seek ahali suddenly eome to Hia (empl(^ even the

meaaenger of the covenant," etc. N o one can doubt

the speaker hers Is Christ himself. Johnithfin, by

virtue of thia commission, Waa a Christian minis-

ter and an eflloer of Chriat's kingdom,—for Ohriat

was the very emftod/tnenfof UIs klngdom'ind

body of His church. John, therefore^ no need

of the overt act of baptism to ootaBtltuto him a

member of the kingdom of Christ H e wiw'made

a member by the word of the King. N o w touch-

ing tho bewildering'atatoiniBnt of the aecond prop-

osition—for It la only an MserUon ^ -

W « have shown that while John acted JM the

vicegerent of Ohriat ho waa the. visible r*pi«(Nmta-

tlveof the kingdom, and theautnority of the Xlng,

and,in * aens^ those ho baptised he virtually bap-

deed into, aa he certainly did upon, the authority

of the King, and hia dlacIploB thua took oath-of al-

legiance to the government of the King. Thiltiliiioa

FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS NATURAL VITALITV AND COLOR.

I t Is a most asrccablo dreuing, which Is at once hamilcu and effectoal, for pro-serving the hair. I t restore*, with tha gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray, light, and fed hair, to a rich bro»n, or deep black, as may be desired. By its uw thin hMr Is thickened, and baldness often though not always cure^l. I t checks faHing of the hair immediately, and causes a new growth in all cases where the glands a » not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or otherwise diseased hair,. It Imparts vitality and strength, and renders It pliable.

The Vioon cleanses the scalp, cnrea and ' prevents the formation of ^landniff; and, by lis cooling, stimulating, and soothing properties, It heals most If nbtjill of th* humors and diseases peculiar to tho scalp, keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under which condlltions diseases of the scalp and iialr are Impossible.

A a a D r o s s i n g f o r L a d i e s ' H a i r The Vraon is Incomparable. I t Is colors less, conUins neither oil nor dyo, and will not soil white caipbrl^. I t Ingmru an agrccablo and lasting petfnme, and as aa anlclo/of the toilet it Ip economical ana unsurpassed In Its flKceljonco.

Hitire are many wiys In whicH a man can maul-fest hlmacif. By his thought, ho is always Icnown to God and to Ids own heart, but not to his foilow-ineii. To reveal himself to tiiein, his thought must somehow And expression.

Thus It Is by his words that he is beit jtiidifced. The largest part of our practical life is reiblvible Into s|)ecch. >

1. Now, gonerallj speaking, when men spoakof ©wr; great Mndertakiug»r?^l»l^'' ^xorllng Influence, the thought present to Thejgi^ minds is of something exceptional, attractive, com- ^ ^ ^ ^ W»do Im evony d i. manding, or fornsal. Thus, such a phrase as "a person of Influence" Is understood to denote a man who stands in a position of special advantage, elth-eiV for instance, of wealth, or of mental power or

wUon Is greatly due Iq the combined put! fcrUi by societies or bodies of men wj^ hay^ #uth ^ to ptopagaU, or blessing t« :dimis«, and.wh>^ havr

»jiji, wr wi ineniBi power or 1 dlred^ tlieir enei^lw ^ tlie ©n Jn^lew^.' Of social importaiwe. Hence the noUon of influence for l»oUiU<jR| fftom,. fcifqpfi^c^. i« naiiowed and ulUmately Jt becomes false. It i ) ^ wc does so In two ways: parUy by restricting influence Sunday-school^ mi«#lo|i|jfy . to a few, and then by conflnlnglt among tliese few o^t^^(9r, and;the«lSte to cei tftia peculiarities of character or of oircum* j «li pf thU goi; ; harvest stance. The truth Is that Influence Is alwaysl ôlng fortli ftom every man, and from everything isdonc,

us .mtich, but.far mon» i emalns untold. All this welMirectîd a<5tiou is in acoprdanw wJMi the Divine order. God wiU;» that we; should vm Judicipusly .and wnlously appilod pflbrt for «M;h other's wtlfan^,especially in coniioctlou with the spread of His troth, .^'êrj-Ohri«tUn ;itesB«jy

going fortli ft'om every m&n m man.

Tliei-e aie two ways in which men act npon one another. They do so either directly, dei|berat«Iy and intentionally, or, otherwise, indirectly and nn-oonsciously. Thus, If I want to make men around ijito generous, I inay write, preach, speak, use argu , - . -ihents, multiply Incentives, enforce appeals. In all j o f obedience)^, the great this I am conscious that I have a purpose toaccom* j Gospel to every, creiUii^f • )l!sh,aud lnevei7thingl say I keep that purpose} accordance wlbi our In view. If I succeed, I do so through the inten-j formally and Intentionally, onaîar Uonal influence I have put Into operation, 1 have j f "ny ®"d every cause whioh lies near lo our hearts, tried to l ealize a definite result, and I have noti Iôn^ne all tliete direct agenclu to be suddenly and been disappointed. But I can teach .generosity in j completely witbdraWn^what IImb wooldi booome ûotlidr way. Obedient to the Impulses of my own j o^p poor.worid? Would. It not speÎly lapstt ^ heart, I may relieve tlie need of some poor blind | * moumful, moral wkstio-Hi. training-sohool' beggar on the iâd, who Implores the passer-by to | o** pn>«AUt and vviBrlaating perdition Multiplied help him. This act may be,noticed by a third per- J »nd energetically worked these agencies are, Uie ^n whom I did not know to be near, and It may so impress him as to open his heart and his hand tp do fthe kindness lie had not thought of doing, ilow I had uo design with respect to him,' for the time, I had nothing in view beyond meeting anap> peal for help which came personally to myself. 1 was unwnselous of the Influence I exertod upon tlie person who followed, my example, and yet I did fior him as much as if I had set myself to develop an argument Or to euforoe a claim.
