The reailer will see Where Bro. Ray's "flooms" 

originally come In, i. e., that in oiir book we have 

made the alarmlrfg discovery that Baptlsta are destitate 

of one of tho church ordinancos, dtc., i. e., the 

lord's SiipjKir-it Is uiwn this that lie dogmatically

and further, hp avers, without, a "soems," "A 

church that has no scriptural communion • • 

i«,uot a trê church of Christ." Have wo mlareprwuted 

our brother,' , : 

ilo assfirtfl this fliye tlmus in tljo above article. In 

the first paragraph,ho sayif, "Now Bro. G. seoms to 

thii^ that a church obsprylng a poiTert^, profansd, 

,ua»criûral and sinful ordinance instead of 

t>ie Lord's Supper is a true church of Christ." We 

haye not "ieemerf" to say this anywhere; but we 

hare every where,(iswrtrf, and ill our article Bro. 

Bar is here reviewing,, we kmwiasizku, and 

brought up tho ejfamplebf' tho church at Corinth

they observwl It, was sUll a triio church of Christ 

Tblblc, though without a scriptural Supiwr. How 

doea Bro. Kay seek to break the foroe of hb crush- 

Ing'fallf Why ho says "It was not true to Chiist" 

while so doing! U not that quite a dlfl'ereut thing 

from not bolnif a iruo churd; of Christ? for If not 

a church of Christ it wasa "asynagoguoof Satan." 

Will Bro. Bay point to a cliuroh In St. Iûls or 

Missouri that is true to Christ in every respect? 

Was there iu the days of tho «r«»tloe ? V\rere the 

seven churches of Asia, wldch doubtloss symbollzos 

all the true churches of Christ from .lohn's day 

until Christ comes again ? 1 

(3) This pai-agraph eonsisU oras»ertio/u counter 

to our BttttemenU, and not an attempt to ditprove. 

We again assert it as a general proposition founded 

upon our personal knowledgo aud information, 

that the churches in the North do receive alien immersions 

as valid, andpracticp, whatis known with 

us as "pulpit aftillationH ?" Wo wish wo were nttoriy 

mistaken—that it waH not BO, but alas, it Is 

notoriously true, and Bro, lliy ought to know it. 

If a church [Mrverts the Supper by a perversion of 

its symbolism — all agreeing — then the entire 

church oafi and drinks unworthily—contrary to the 

divine directions—this is what we have said ami 

do say.' 

(4) We explained in our book, and wo re-oxplalnod 

in tho articlo Bro. Itay had before liis oyee, 

that tlio very principles, If only carried out, by 

which Intercomtnuulon could Imj supported would 

Involve the entire subversion of tho divine constitution 

of a church of Christ. AiJ who have 

tried it, whether lli^ng In Alabama, MissiBslppi, 

or Tennessee, have demonstrate*! this fact to tholr 

readers and been uttcriy overwhehned by It! We 

'again chaliongo "Bro, Kay to try it! Ijot him lay 

down one iprinblplo of church polity that In his esjtimatlon 

will jiistify intercommunioh and we Will 

show that, if only carrieti out, it will subvert the 

divine constitution of a church of Christ; 

j We say thU of any principle over urged in support 

of "alien immot-sions" or pulpit Bfllllatloirt, 

and Bro. Ray has asserted it a hundred times. It 

docs nbt turn out that intercommunion is "a craw^ 

fish or mole hole," nor does It become our brother

after their utterance, but that doo^ not atifUcc. 

True, at the bar of reason, that evidence would 

•atUfy a candid mind inquiring into tho truth of a 

question of fact, and is all that Is required in questions 

of morals and religion to determine tho right 

and wrong of human acUons. 

But in tbU age, so prcmfic of new thoughts, now 

ideas, new philosophies; so l)Old *80 rasli, so presumptuous, 

that Moms to tatce oif its shoes in approaching 

holy ground, but dares to touch the burning 

bush; dares to lay hands even on God Iliniself; 

an age in which the world is so "tossed to and 

ftno, and carried about by every wind of doctrine, 

by the slight of men and cunning craftiness" 

"spolhng men through philosophy and vain deccit" 

and'îeace falsely M-called"; I would fain llnd 

rest for feet made sore by wandering, and repose 

in tlie shadow of ''the Bocic that is higher than I." 

I yearn for an assurance, that is only one degree 

short of the soul's cognition, and that this can bo 

attained to, within the sphere of reaMn, I have no 

doubt 

At already stated, there Is abundance of cvidem» 

of the genuineness and authenticity of the 

Jewish Scriptures enough to satisfy the most exaeting 

aTatlny of man's highest reason. 

The history of the Jewish people, of (heir sacreil 

bodies^ and •t the Christian church. These tesiimoniea 

are ianumerable and ample. But tho "common 

people'' must have something to "tie to," and 

thank, God, there aie evidences within their râch 

that do i^ve assdrance, and make it doubly sure. 

We are accustomed to glory in the inteilcclual 

advancement of the nlneteentli century; of our 

achievements in science and arts; of our moral illumination 

and Christian progress; and there is 

reason for all self-gratulation. But is it not evident 

that the satanlo forces are equally active, that 

the irrepreasible conflict still rages, and that the 

Greeks, tired of bold and undisiûiscd assaults, 

have entered Troy masqued within tho ribs of a 

wooden horse? 

"JHmeo Danaoiae dona/erentu." 

In the name of science and civilization the enemy 

haa thrown his lecherous arms around the fUir 

spouse of Christ and Is bearing her away to an 

adnlteroua coach. Darwin, Tyndail, and their col* 

leaguee in aoienoe; Beecher,Toy, Heber Newton, 

in theology; and Ingersoll as a ribald, blasphemous 

jeater, have rallied the acattered hosts of inflddity 

and aince the daya of Voltaire and Ilnme the onemies 

of Christ were never so bold and aggressive. 

Think of it, fbllowera ttf JeausI In the latter 

daya of the nineteenth eentnry, Beecher, a few 

y«aca ago, the month>piece and braina of a great 

political part)^ and for twenty-five yeara the occupant 

of what purports to be a Christian church, 

and next to Spnrgeon moet popalar preacher of the 

Bngllah ioogue, fh>m his pulpit in Plymouth 

chorch, in Brooklyn, recently defied the religions 

belief of more than two hoodred .miillona of his 

raoe, by declaring that "I would as aoon eome from 

the lolna of a monlny as to be made (of dirt and 

come ftt>m.a mod-lMle." Well, there ia no dlsputlag 

about taalee; and ia it no^ written, "Hath not

Borvice of Almighty God 1 and this too when clad 

in prioDtly robes and mlnUtertb^ at tho altar uf 

Christ 1 

"Oh (liuine, where l« thjr bliiiUi I" 

Those moil Tyndail, llackloii, and Bcechor arc 

loaders in tho oawartl march of the now theology 

and newer scieiioe. 

Those men and thuir colleagues. Toy and Newton, 

would overlurii tho loundatlouH uf our faith 

would make us beliove (hat tho Old Tustaniont 

Scriptures aro fabulous—no more credible than tho 

stories of Baron Muiichauxen. That Moscit, iHaiah, 

Daniel and all tho propliotn woro romances I That 

Christ was only a man—a philosopher and pGri[)atolic 

teachor, as was Socratcs, and that the miraclca 

a8cril)ed to lilm by his hUtoriaim and biographers 

wrt'o invented only to clothe him with a higher 

dignity and greater awe, that thus lio might (ho 

'more surely iuipoao himself ufon the credulity of 

jthe rabble. 

I Thoir resources ire beyond my reach. I cannot 

follow them. If thoy say tho Mosaic account of 

the creation is not crcdiblo, how can I, reprosenting 

tljc "common people," prove that It ij credible? 

If tliey say that the pi-ophncies of Daniel were 

written after tho events of which ho prophesied, 

how can I prove that tho prophecies wore made 

hundreds of years before tho happening of tho 

events; iu other words, how can I prove that tho 

Old Testament Scriptures aro genuiiio, authentic, 

and inspirud of Goil ? 

It is not in my power to deraign tho evidopces of 

;tho Jewish Scriptures as Uio Word of Qod; nor do 

I believe there lives a man who can so doraign 

those evidences as to produce a aonvictfon o( their 

truth, beyond a reasonable doubt, otherwi^ thfin 

that which I have attempted; that is, that Jesus 

Christ endorsed, by repeated references, tho Jewish 

.Scriptures as tho Word of God. 

Bight there in tho word of Christ I find a place 

lupon which to plant my foot, upon which to ground 

my faith, so that no arts or devices of th^t cneniy 

shall ever prevail to unsettlQ it. i i , i. ,// 

Whom shall I'follow? whom shall I believe? 

Heber Newton, Toy, Beccher, and Tyndail, or 

JesuB Christ? God forgive tho ^sociation: But 

as in the days Of Elijah Ihe questibh wad "If Baal 

be God, fallow him, but If the Ii6rd be God then 

serve him." 

So now I build oh Clirisi ' itis word along satisfies 

tho highest ddmands of'human reason, and his 

word alone satisflos tho loftiest aBpIratlons of my 

religious faith. 

The reader win readily peroelvo that ^ }isjve attempted

TgDITOR BAPTIST :~I would much prefer Itiat 

one more competent than niysolf would write 

up the news from this section, but It seems thil 

none will'do it 

First, I will say thiit our pastor, Bro. Windog, Ii 

fast gaining a s'.miii/ hold on the afl'ec'.lons of the 

people; his congregations aro rapidly Increaslii)^, 

tho interest of tlio church improving. 

Bro. O. L. Ilulley, of Louisville, Ky., preacked 

for us the second Sunday in June. Ills theme, 

"Humility the lload to Exaltation." He handled 

his subject well. Ills sermon was highly approdated 

by his old mbtlior church. With such » 

pastor as wo have to''preafch tho third Sunday,' 

morning and night, and such men as Bro. Ilalley 

and Bra. Graves to drop in occasionally,'wb feol to 

praise God and take courage. Arid' f-ight hero I' 

would say to Bro.O. G. Frazldrahd otli'ci'fl, Bo careful, 

lest you wound the feelings of some of your 

bretliron. Bccaii'do some proaclicr pastors more 

than o»io church at a timo'ddcs not signify that'ho

tlDdex(or, la 

worth more than cart-loads of extracts, donbtfUl in 

meaning many of them, from coteniporary tracts. 

When, According to Dr. Lightfoot, tho question was 

liefore the Assembly, whither tho doctrinal st«nd$i^ 

under dlscusslou should read, "The minister shall 

take water and sprinkle or pour it with his hand 

upon tho face or foro-heud of the child," "It was 

voted 80 IndUrorently that wo were glad to count the 

names twice, fur so many were unwilling to have 

dippiug excluded ftiat tho vote came to an equality 

within one." Now, how can any sano porsoni beove 

that what was "a ntw mode of baptism" in 

041, three years later, in 1644, should have bcoomo 

so general as thatan assembly of Presbyterian min 

ietors, representing all England and Scotland in i 

measure scarcely oxamplod since, should have boon, 

within one, evenly divided ujioh the queHllon 

whether It should be recognized. In tho doctrinal 

standard thoy were framing, or excluded ? When 

Dr. Doxter has crackod this historical nut, we should 

bo glad to havo him try another. He himsolf quotes 

this article from tho Baptist ConfosHion of 1644; 

"That tho way and manner of dispensing tbis ordinance 

is dipping or plungiiiK the bndy under water; it twing ii 

sign, must answer tho thing signillcdf which is that interest 

tho salnlN haw in the death, burial. and resurrection 

of Christ. And that as fiertainly as tim iiody is burleii 

under water, and risen agiiln, so certainly sliull theboillos 

of the saints l>o raised by the nower of Christ in tho day < f 

the rosurrectlon, to reign with Christ." 

lib quotes also tho appended note, that, "Tho 

word baplizo slgiiltlos to dip or plunge, yet so convoniuiit 

gatinonts be put upon both tho admiiistrator 

and subject, with all modosty." Was immorelon 

"a new mode" for oven Baptists In England In 

641, and in throe years time did this "now mode" 

)ccome so 'gonoi-al as (o ho accepted as tho only one 

n a (Jonfosslon rocolved and used by tho seven Baptist 

churches of London—all there woro In the cKy 

at that time ? 

After adduclni4 in his book what ho deems evidence 

of tho newness of linmorsiou as a mode of 

baptism, tt« practlccd oven by Baptists at tho date 

namcA, Dr. Dexter does us tho honor to make some 

rofcrenco to a former expression of incredulity on 

our own part as to this, in the A'ta/idard; and he 

pays us the compliment of saying: "In my judg 

mcnt—in view of tho evidence hero presontod, noth 

lug but tho obstinate and discreditable reftisal to 

apply to matters touching his own denomination 

those principles and proccHses of reasoning which, 

with other mon, ho is accustomed to apply to all 

other things, can prevent a Baptist from coiicoding 

that tho churches of his order in the mothor country 

did introduce dipping as a method of baptism 

at that time new, in or about tho year 1641." Well, 

HO bo it; yet wo aro at liberty, we juppose, to judge 

for ourselves as to tho real value of this testimony 

gathered by Dr. Dexter out of the controversial 

tracts written against Baptists,—always termed 

"Anabaptists," a name thoy utterly refused to own 

—about the middle of tho soventconth century. 

Those who have rood Ur. Featloy's "Dippers Dipped,' 

will al«o be quite prepared to Judge of this (oStlmouy. 

But apart from that. Dr. Doxtor's hamlilug 

of It cannot be pronounced free from the charge of 

special pleading. What his evidence does show is 

Blmply this-i-that the practice In ail directions, prevlons 

to tho organization of English Baptist 

ohurches, kad become irregular and confused, as 

i-egards the manner of admiinistering baptism {that 

thbro was a vigbrous ahd determined efTort made

criticism of some former work of hia, that he 

"swings a beetle to knock down a fly." yffaAovit 

it is that he "swings" In tbis book he hais certainly

just now In hand is ooncerned. A« to the other

We never heart! a minister bapliiud who (li8 or NKWsrAfKns.—If the followiug 

written by Daniel Webster, was trUe in his day 

what shall we say of its application to the present 

lime? While we ara not insensible to tlie moulding 

iulluencos of good books and would advise 

every young iwrson to begin a library, wo canntl, 

but believe that the boy of te-day, If he is to be up 

to the times and liulped for good, must read good 

newspapers. A poor uewspaper Is worse than a 

poor book, so do not let cheapness be the flrst requisite. 

"Small is tbo sum that is required to patrouize 

a iiowspaiHsr, and well rewarded is the patron. 

I care not how humble aud unpretending'tlie gazette 

which ho takes. It is next to iinposiible to 

till a sheet with printed matter witiiout putting 

something into It that is worth tho' siibscriptiqn 

price. Every parent whoso son is away from, home 

at school, should supply him with a newspaper- I 

well remember what a marked difference there was 

between those of my schoolmate^ whb had and 

those wiio did not have access to newspapers. Other 

things being equal, the first were decidedly superior 

to the last in debate, composition,ând intelligence." 

Will not the reader show the abote to his 

or her noighbor, and show them the "Young South," 

and influence them to taice the paper for their children's 

sake? It is now only four cents t per week,

Foreign Hissions*

«|T is nseless to attempt lo accomplish anything 

* 88 a body for the Foreign Mission cause with* 

out hAvIng a syntomatlo plan by which we can 

teach the people ut largo, and concentrate their 

energies." 

This, In substannc, is what was diseussed and 

dotermincd upon liy tbo Big Hatchio Association 

at its last session, ami tliose are tho plans adopted: 

1. That each pastor should strive to keep tiio subject 

of missions conslantly before bis people, and 

preach at leant one sermon a year on Foreign Missions. 

2. That two oiirnn«t, work!tig Kl»'ter4 Iw sc'ected 

from each ch 11IV,h ot Ibo Asfoclalion, who will 

make ItthehMluiy lo visit enck meniber of their 

church (iurini; the yâr and solicit, at luRKt, twenty 

'scnts a piocc for Foreign Mission!'. 

3. Tliat the | as(or put mo in personal correspond 

ence with the two sisli rs of his church selected for 

the work, by sending me their names, addresses, 

etc. 

4. That all contribntlons for Foreign MisHions 

collcclml witliin tbo bounds of tlie Big ilatchie As 

Hociation, and all ikswp from her churches on the 

HUbject of i'ôrcign Missions, bo rei>orted to this 

column. 

TIk'hc arc lli« |)lan« laid down, and now it is to 

be seen if wo can make tlicm practical. 

Surely, tliuio is not oven one pastor of that body 

who can, and will not pruacli one sermon f jr Forn!gn 

Misnionn ditriiif; a wliolc year, and show bis 

pifOi)le, not only in lii» pulpit, but by his daily inteicoiiisis 

tliiK lie tVels tlin full forcc of lbecnn.iiiiaiul,
