Is heaven every vei«ei will be full, the ditler

will i^babiy bo uuconacloas thai uihen enjov
higher felicity, lo a nobler aphere.
The worm, that crawla beneath your feet, hap
py in iu aphere and to tbe extent of iu oapacity,
kaowa nothing of tbe higtier rapture Bhichawella
the archangel'a breaat in the bigheat heavea. Bo
the thief, pardoned on tbe croa*, and other* wboae
aioH are foi^iven near the cluoe uf life, and who
enter into oduaoious reet. will never dream of the
ecatotic Joy which thrllia tho tongue, and nervee
and hand* of the Apoat'e Fdul, ar, in tbriilinglaya,
he obanta the aoog of immortal life and love and
atrikea the golden etring of tbe harp of Uod, near
the great white throne in heaven.
Finally the doctrine preaenta a high incentive
to a life of piety and fideiity to God, and zeal in
tbecaneeofGhrial True, wo are not working
for a reward; a nobler motive prompts ua; "the
love of (Jhriat conatraiueth u»;" but tbe reward ia
oue that we cooot doubly auro. "A book of re
membranctt" ia kept; your piety, iilierality ami aui<
ftringa; yuur seal, prsyera and toarc; your worka
aod word* of lovf; your iwraecutiona, suUeringa
and patience for Jeaua, are all reoordod iu that
book, and *haU receive recognition and a giorlou*
reward in heaven. Romomber, ••He that aoweth
apariogly, ahall reap al*o flparingly; he tbat aoweth
bouatifally, eball reap al*o bountifully." •'He
that goeth forth aud weopetb, beariag preciou*

of time with the aeed of truth, ahati reap golden
«heaves upon the harveat fields (if immortaiity.

The above is dipped from an editoiial in the

palpable faliabooda. One atatement I am aure Mr.

It would aaturally make. It iathia: "The Bap*
tists have published thla, it would aeem to ruia
Brook or 1 would aot." Now Mr. Lipaoomb well
kaowa that the first time that publicity waa given

Now, I wiah to atate emphatically and 1 hope
that Mr. L. will remember it, that my re annoia*

return to tbe Bapliata waa made about midnight
within three minutea after wifo aad I bad ariai-n
and within one minute after the first doaeof"ae>

had offered a aingle prayer together, or ia any
other way unleaa It be in aecretaud without a wo-d

having became convinced tbat I waa fixed.
The atatement tbat occurred aome lime ago in
the Advocate to tbe eSeet that my wife prayed
with me, exorted me, *ayiDg, "We'll starve, we'll

baaely falae. But tbe taI«o atalemenU of tbe Advocate
have been *o nnmorou* tbat I have not tbe
