The same Idea of a renovated and glorified worid runs through the apostolic episUn. Paul wjrs: " The creaUon shall bedeUvered Irom the ^ l ^ n of bondage into the glorious Uberiy of thechUjUen of God." (Rom. viii. 21). Peter

We look (or new heavens and a new earth wherdn dwdleth righteousness." (2 Pet. m . 13)

" ^ ® he^vea and a new earth Md there sbhll be no death, nor sorrow, nor cry-ing, nor pain, because the former t h i n ^ are pas^^

away." (Rev. xxl. 14).

The aportUIc futhers taujht the same vital t rato of the resurrection of the Just and the reign of Christ and hla redeemed on the earth. Thw TCver looked for a heaven in the skies or a finished J^einption apart fn.m the resurrection. Bdrna-

Ignatiui, Poli-c^rp, Papioj, JnsUn Martyr, Irenaos, and other noted defenders of the fiilth ^ the ad%-ocate8 of the millennial reigu of Christ on the earth wlthjils risen saints.

JtBlyn Martyr, in hla dialogue wilh Trypho, w ^ : " I f , U«erefore, you tali in with certain who are called Christfcms, who confsw not this truth, but blasphemes the God of Abrtham and I Isaac, and Jacob, in that they say there U no ' resurrecUon of the dead, but that immediatoly whm they die their soalr are received up into heaven, avoid them, and esteem them as not Chris-tians." etc. Irenaeu-j, bishop of Lyons, 178 trained as a pupU of Polycdrp and Papias.' says, "11 is titUng that the just rising Tt the appearing ol God. should in the renewed <.<!i*« receive the promise of the Inher-itance which God coveuanted to the latheis. and

labooidvrigalalt. • • •

tt Is hut Just that in it they should receive the l i ^ t s of their suffering, so that where lor the love ^ God they suffered death, there they shoultf be brought to lUe again, and where they endured bondage, there also should they reign." QuoU nir Bom. vU. 19-22. in proof he conUnues, -the promise of God which he made to Abraham de-ddedly confirms this, for he says, ' Lift up now thine eyes.' " QuoUng further. Gen. xUi. H-17 he adds. " F o r whom received no inheritance in It—not ev«i a a foot breadth, but always was a stranger and a sojourner in it. Therefore, as God promised to him the inheritance of the earth, and he received it not during the whole Ume he lived in it. It is necessary that he should recdve it to-

, gether with his need; that is with aU suih as fear God and beUeve In hlm. in the resurrecUon 0/ the Just."

He tien shows that Christ and the Church are the true seed and partakers of the promisee, and

" ' ' " k ' J L ! ! ? w h o are of Cdth are bleased with fidthfui Abraham, and the samearethechUdrenof Abraham, and the heirs of promise."

I r e n a ^ like Justyn, calls those " heriUcs. who M P ^ the saints' glorificaUon to follow l i m e d ^ l y after death and before the resurrecUon." J ^ f a W e w j f U i e inheritance of Uie saints his bOT hdd through more centuries by many of Uie

A FEW weeks since 7HE ALANDARD noticed with approval an article which had recently ap-

peared in the colnmnsof the EXAMINER TMD OIRONI-

DE, from the pen of a layman, on the subject of Baptist church independency. The maniieat ten-dency 0/ said arUcle, and others of similar charac-ter which have at Umes appeared thrangh the same medium, is to che<*k and hamper chutdi in-dependency. and to establish "interdependency." —to use a favorite term of that Journal. The meaning of which seems to be that churches should act in matters outside their dirrct and per-sonal polity and disdpline, not without, but only with the concurrence and co-operation of other churches. The independency of the churches Is not, in so many i^ords, denied, nor ecdeslasUral comblnaUons and church courts direcUy advo-cated, and moft Ukely these writers do not mean so much. But the tendency of tMs whole course of aigumentaUon and lllustraUon is moderately, yet manlfeaUy, to such conblnatlons of churches as shall consUtate an ecdealasllcal confederation, without whose aporoval churches shall not fed at liberty to act on any general qneoUon. Such a central federation, even though at first called ad-visory, wouki dowly crystallize into :anthoriU-Uve tribunals. Such teachings are misleadtog; sudi tendencies though natural, are perilous.

All admit that chnrches as weU as individuals owe courtesy to all, eepedally to those with whom they Uve In InUmate fdlowship. Uke other de-nominaUons, tbe Baptists have a of men who are special advocates of a "stronggovern-ment," and who, for Uie sake of having cburvhea do right,—right ac(>ording to tbdr daadard, fcffoetfaem, if by the action formulated ec-desiasUcal law, yet b^ the moral prevure of com-

blnatiooB; ahackte and ledrain pefsoad and chanh liberty in order to p m e n t or cure tbe mistakes and tdunders to vh i d i penonal and church liberty may give occasion. The remedy is worse tlian tbe diseaae; tiia method works greater misfortune than it prevrata. I f churches are "interdependent" t ^ a(e not "inde-poident," and Baptist interpretation of New Tu-Ument polity is a mistaken one; unless, indeed, to be " interdependent" and »indspoident" ara one and tbe same thing. If they ate the same, then there is no point made, and ndtber sense nor logic in the siatooient of the said article, and otbaaaimilaz to U.'

Now what are tbe tacts in the case? Each particular and individual g«Kpd church

is actually and abaalutdy independent in the ex-erclae of aU Its churchly prerogaUves and privi-leges of all other chnrcties, individnala,and bodiea of men whatever, and is under law to Christ alone. The will and tbe law of Christ are to be found in tbe New Testament, which is the only authoribiUve statute-book tor his church.

This sUtement is bfoad and comprehettsive.and needs ezplanaUon only—not defence. That inde-pendency is the true form of church government, as o p p o ^ to Preabyterianism and Prelacy, will not here tie argued, but is assumed aa accepted of all Baptists, as that which la Uught in the New TwUmest, verified by primitive church tiistory, and Justified by the genius of the goapd itadf. But all human liberty is under llmiUtions; it is not absolute and beyond conditions. What limiti the church's independence ?

1. Tbe liberty which the ii dependence of the church exercises is limited by the laws of Cbrist as expressed or dearly implied in the Scripturea The church is not a legisUUve body, but an ad-ministrative body; it cannot make laws, but only executes those divtndy prepared for i t But the church is the interpreter of those Uws for itsdf; not for others. Nor can others interpret them for it. Ttie opinion of tbe wise and good shouVd weigh with t t ; tint no msn. or body of m<si, can become authoritative inteipretmof thewodctf God to a chnrdi, or compd tabmlalcm to tbdr totaipretatioB.

Churches may perform many unwise and un-JusUfiable acts, l l iey may misinterpfvt or mis-apply the taw. or even openly do violence to both the spirit and Uie leUer of IL But thaw Is do human tribunal exc^t that of public opinion, to which they can be brought for'trial and punish-ment. Others. In tbe exerdse of their peiaonal. or ch&rch Uberty, may condemn Uielr acts, may disdalm all re«(ponslbUlty. in connection wlUi them, and withdraw their f i^wshlp . But fhr-ther they cannot go. except by the mon l force OL their dissent or condemnatl<in. And It Is fortunate Uut Mich Is Uie case; for to crush Uberty and destroy Independency in thechntebof Christ, would be a greater caUmity than to bear all tbe evils which may spring from a misunderstanding of the one, or a misuse of the otho-.

2. The independency of churches is limited, m far as its corporate acts are coaconed. or any question of personal rights or legal equity may be regarded, by the taws of the State in whidi it may be located. Most churches, by an (Hgnnlaed "sodety." or in some other way. bdd rdaUons to dv i l taw In order to enJoy Its protecUon In rights of property. In these matters It must be subject to dvU authority, and both as a body and as Indlvlduab, should be taw-keepen and not taw-breakers. But in matters of spiritual concern, in questions of faith and religious practice, the State and dvi l taw have no rights of cratrol over or interfierence with the church of Christ, in any matterfor mann« whatsoever.

It may abo han>en that in theexodseof ito ecdesiastical functions. In acts disdpline or ex-dudon, a church may be diarged with diddons which are deCunattay in tbdr nature, to Injure the reputation or tbe secular busineas of tbe individnal. and be may :«ek redreas at courts of dvtt Justica Sodi resolts have at t i i r a occurred, and under stress of pecallar dream-stances are Uable to occur.

1. that a mfnliiterof this age is pmebiutc under tbeaptHoiikieomaiiaaioii—and not under the an Uuslt/ and eammiifiion of a ehnreh.' If he is preaching under that commladon, lie in tu ail in-tents and ptirpaaes an apostle, and he m ^ premme to do what Um apcatles were anthuriwd to do— which wooid be nuthlng leas than bbuphemy.

All poafwipiHtQlic oiinlMm a n the aenmnbi of the ehmehcft—have been ordained—cummia-aioned by, and been under the auld control of the ehaithea. " We preach not ooneivea, bat ChrUt Jemutha Lord, and oorjeives yoor'acrvanta fur JenuBfce.'* They were gifts to the ehureheato duMrrice for them. (Eph. I t . It).

2. That theonlihanesf-baplbai atl<9Mt. and we My if baptism, the Sapper also, fur no man cin aaparate them—were committed to the ministry, and,UiRidbr«,they have the official rixht to baptize withmt the action of the local church.

This ia theqasstiiin lately raised by B<tplistmin latns aod it needs the pcoof that bas been repeat-edly demaoded, but la vain. If we are referred back to tka a j ^ o l i c period in the inchoate state o r Oiriatianity when its ministers were acting tra-der the expren cnaamtailon of and ^direction of evidemai ol the Holy Spirit, making convicts, gathering in heathen land the material for the organUition«<fcEnrcfaes who were to be, when runatltutcd and invented with their divine pre-rogativta each a pUUr and gnMnd tif the truth-r thaa may men. claiming to .b« called of Ck>d to JwBn wOhoot sabmlt-ting to the onllmhw himxalf; th9D may our dea-con daim the right to. preach, and then may pur mintater premme to dldate to the churches, and funnulata dgctrinea and make laws for the d w R i ^ That argument ciaita't too much, and

- is worthlM. Bat; If baptism was committed to the ministTy, then It caiuiot be said that they are under the least obligaUontu defer any CA'W to the choRfa, hnt otherwise if the responsibility de-volves upon them they have no right to pat it upon the chnrches—they cannot alienate it,—and the chorches have no right to have a wad to say as to who is qualified for bap-

tor this ordinance as w<41 as the Supper waa to the chorchea to observe according to

the divine dUectlona, or It was not; and. If it was not, thay Jiave no right to any voice touching bapUm in any conceivable case, but. If delivered to the inlnMiy, fhea in no ooncelvable case have they a rtehtlo alienate the TesponaibUity by defer-ringtu tlw chnrcii. A miniirter has a right to faapUaamrabanforachureh In Its own baptistry, as Br.

Bro. u . will n€»t even send us a copy of bis own. To turn It off, luMtnul of meeting the Ivsoe, he says:— ^

Thk Baptiut wimtH to know of a certifieate of ordination which anthorir* a minisM to hapUw whom he may think qnuUfled. The Aseord wanU te know of uoe which authorixes the minister tu baptiz* provided the church approves by a vote. Tberuari! just as many of the first daae as the tatter. As The BAPnar knows, the oertiflo^ iiimpJy autborixea the minister to admlni^er the utdi^CM, and, of course. It is understood by all scoind Bdptists, a>xt>rding to the Scripture. What the Bible teBChee the (Siurehes have found out long age. Try again, Bro. Groves.

Yes, that's the very thing, and all It does the ordaining church simply anthorizea the mlnistw toadmintiter the ordinances of baptism aod the Supper. Now, the leaM Intelligent reader can see as dearly as Bro. O. can see, that this aothorixaa a minister to cdebrate the Lord's supper without the action of a local church Just as elira as it does tu baptize any one withunt the action of the cbureb, and that if this ordlnatton paper coniurs upon him the right to administer one of the ordi-nances without the action of a church it positively doea the othw, which proves too much and there-fore utterly breaks down. Need we try again, Bro. G.? A PKOTEST-WHAT THE DEACONS SAY.

Many Governors, Judgetn, Gonerals, EMucators, Authors, and Ministers of great disUnction have been identified with the Bsptbts, and, where possible, their portraits have been secured for the-work, and will appear In connection with their biographical sketches.

While not surprising, the i«ception of the work has so far been exceedingly gratifying, and when it b remembered that in onr own country to-day the Baptists have 2,200,000 cbureb members, and other adherenU, old and young, which increase the number to at least 5,000.000. it can contldently be expected that thb work will be an Important fiwtor In bringing about tne fulfillment of the prophecy of the editor, that In the coming con-tests of truth th^Biptis^ are destined spretui all over the worid, and nnfUri their banner over every home and hoart of Adam's fkmliy, on which will be conspicuously seen "Oae Lord, one filth, one twptbn^"

Inki.uksck IsDisTBCtTABLE.—It is an encour-aKlng thought that all the healthful influenced we are enabled,-by God's grace to exert, ceasi's rot with our mortal life, that long after wu ps!» away our sil«it Influence works on, and often more po tentially than when we lived; and secib sown In our preaching, often germinates and yields a Koodly harvest, which b resped by othen*. An old railroad conductor in this State once pau<ted at our seat When he wa-* taking up the tickets, and Mirked U'4. 'iDu you rememt>er a ser'non you preached at Old Cunconl thirty yearx ago?" We replied, we remember being there, but nothing about the sermon. He said: " Though a boy at thatttime, I have not forgotten it." and tie gave us our Illustration of the life boat—he trustrd he had been pulled into it and raved from the .»ti)rm-wrecked ship himself.

A remarkable proolof the p<«ihunious influence of the holy John Flavel, is the oft-t4ilil stoiy of Old Luke Short, who died some years ago, in Mfddleborougb, Mass.

While he w«.<« Mtled in Dartmouth. England, Flavel preached a sermon on the tes t . ' If any man love not the L'wil Jtwix Christ let him be anathema mnranatha." Luke, who was a Dartniouth boy, was prnicnt and heard the sei-in6nVt>eingthen filteien yes-rs of age. S ortly afterward he ttecame a Kailor, and, after some years of sea-faring life, be i^ttled in Americv, where he spent the rest of hb days.

When be was a hundred years old, be was sitting one day In a field, reflecting on hb long life, and the nse be had made of hb nsany years. Suddenly

PAY YOUB PASTOB. BY J . B. S.

m m s is a subject vitally connected with the beet Interest of our churches. No pastor can sac-

ceasfuUy a«ve a Sock whom be does not love, and no pastor can long k>ve a church who does not love him. And no church loves a pastor as they abould. If they leave bim and his foinUy to want for the ncceaaarles ot life, while bis time has been devoted to their speclid care. The following dipped bom iheBtfixlor, by Bev. A . J . F a w a t t , we commend as sound, tfaough somewhat crusty:—

DO VOO LOVK HIM ? How c m yoQ e i ^ the boontlfttl atore which

yoa poDseas and i S v e to want one whom you love? If be waa your son or yoor brother, would you fed happy to see him i£ id ied for dothlog, lor horse food, for bread ana meat, and not a dollar to lay out, while you have all these and bay land and machinery and loan money year a f t a year? Now. can you say, " I love my pastor?" Study weO before yoa atawer.

ABS von Hoxsar? How, then, can you pay one, two or t m dollars,

and rest easy when you know your pastor has not been paid one-half <tf what he has earned? Are yon satisfled to pay aamall sum and let the pastor and yoor brethren ** fix the balance?" Do yoa

r badwhcat ,or a n i o d e r o n a mi f r a n whom you havefldled to collect an old deM ? Do yoo make it the last th ingyoo pay.andatmie-t lmenevrpay a t a l l ? Then pause and think before yoasay you am honest.

IS THKBB A JtTSQHKtT ? Where then will yon appear? You who pay only ben year pastor la forced to beg—yoa who pay » r imdiKe—you that pay a few doUanto keep

It in every cro

when poor piodiKe—you that pay up yoor credit, and boaat of

bat d t quietly by and let your brethren defraud the pastor by keeping bade his wages year attar year andnever say a word, and yet you never for-get to dun your brother for a dollar which be owes you on " t h a t calf." I ask, in all seriottsneas, where w'U you aU be, and what wiU be your sfn-tenceat the great Jiidament day? Make a loog pause and fix yoursdf In full view of the Judge, and then say, aullty or not guilty.

But aome never pay, n<tver try, and never intend to. What ia to be doae with these? They will be at the g ^ t tribunal; they are honest: they love the "dear , good pastor;*' but they can't pay anything. Now, my t»other, I am sorry for yoa, for It was the devil who tiHd you t h a t " great l>iK, awful l ie." Do you smoke or chew t o b o ^ ? ^ yuu fish ot hunt, or spend days In town ? You xuve never felt too poor to do these, and they cost you twice as much as the deacon Mrould ask you for to pay the preacher. Now, If anybody does read this, he is the man, or she is the woman I am after. Now this is what I want you to do : Go to wwk and set every member uf your diurch to pay the pastor before the year d o s n , and then _ up a good Missionary Society In your church, and aend and get soaie Sunday^echuol lesson pa-pers, and make your school the banner BCIKIOI of the Avodation, and stir up all the brethren about the prayer meeting!), and read more youndf and pray more and talk lees; and pay more, too, and don't whine so much about It, and if we both live I will write you another letter next year.

MAJOR PENN'S UNION M E E t l X G a RO. GR.WES:—Not being on l^exas soil, you ctnnot have thia controvnay cunliaued

in THE BAPTIST. When I wrote my letter I wrtrte It upon such

rdiable tvideocc that I bad no thought ut its ever being made a matter of controversy. Aa I under-stand the Mnjor'd letter, he does not da :y the fact or statement aucb aa the publication £rom the Daily Herald, of D jllas, that it was a "united" service, am that he and the Methodists baptized in one meeting at the river, bat denies it a "union" meeting.

HU own statement that when he reached Dallas he met the " Pastors' Aaaodatioa,"—Pedobaptiats, •od<^ agreed" to so and ao, and so and so, did set-tle my statement as substontially correct.

I have abundance of evidence to prove that he h a d ^ " union " meeUng there; that he refused to come to Weatherlord because I would not have a •* union " meeting; that he said: " I am not near 9o strict In making Baptist converts as formerly ;" but here close the maUer as far aa I am concerned in THE BAPTIST, as the controversy is especially a Texas matter.

In tbe columns of the lesa* BaptM I will give any amount of facts. I do not write statements to papers about such things upon rumoni,but upcm fact^.

The Major has no letters from me stating any' thing of the Itlnd intimated by him. They all state. " Inasmuch a.s your disdaim bdding union meetings etc., I remove all restrictions (m your coming here."

" A n d does my Paulioe sometimeH make ene-mies? And is she at times liup»lite and uiipleas-anT?" asked mamma, with a smile.

The easer child biiisbed as she looked into her m o t b o ' s eyes, but sbe answere*! h<>ne«tty, " Y^s. mamma, she docs make enemies, nnd siie isn't B ^ t e or pleasant. You know, mamma, that Wnl iae Is soch a po«lUve sort of a child. She ha-to HLe and disl ike; and she shows out Ja-it all she feeSs. And some people do bother her so; at least thoy wtMJid bother her, if nbe could stsn<l it to let them, but she can't. She rld-s her^^lf of ihem in the sliortest pO!«il>le way, if 'lisn't just the sweet est, l ike Buee's."

" H o w d o y o u e f f ct t h U ? " &- ke<l her mamma. " O , 1 let them know plainly how I value their

" Well, yes, mother, I believe I do," said Panllne, candidly. ••Almost everylnxiy does that, one way or anothtfr. I 'm not more ^el&sh than dtheis. I ' l l help and lend things, and do favors as cheerfully as any one, 1 t h i n k ; but I ab i ' t ' hkve tacbawayasB- i seha .4 , so kind, and gentle and sweeC"

" I think tbe secret of Riwe Woodville's way Is foand In her obedience to the new cuiiimaQdmei t o( oar triessed Lord. My Pauline neKit cts to keep It, 1 f a t r . " Mra. Warw* opened a Testament that hw near, and pointed to the thirty-foarth verse of the tbirteenth chapter of tbe guspel of St. John. Paoline read tbe verse: •'A new cum-

•nandment I give unto you, that ye love one an-otlwr; as I have lovttl you, and that ye also love one another."

Pauline's eyes l>ecatne very .vr iouiasshe re«d these words of th-? Lord J^U't.

'O iu y«Hi iniSKine theSivior as imp<>n»<»or un-pleasant in his wordsur msarter to a n y ? " asked mamma

" O , never, mamma," an«tterei| Pauline. ' Or as caring more for his couiftirt or pleasure

than fur that of others ? " ' •No, Indeed. My versa last S tmlsy wiwi:

What was it in the {.itrd J - u s that made bim llius <-uQi«iilerate of others, kin<l, ifeotie, iruurteous, (Mtient, altogether unselQsh?"

'O, mamma," said Pituliiie hiiiiihly, " it WAS the love. Hut niamma, can 1 ever l >vo as tiu d d ? "

" H e l>Ms you do nolhin-' iiiipossiMe; yet ho says: *As I hnve lovetl j-ou, Hiat ye itlso l.>ve o:ie a n o t h e r ' "

Pauline was silent and tlioiiihtful for s.iiiie moments. She was a fair-miixtnl child and •••rilt honestly with herself as with others.

CLAIMS OF THE CHUBCH. BY SKV. XiB. OBOBOK V. LOBIMKR

Wboaa la tUa Image aad tnpMMtlpUon r'-Uark zU. M. m H E «ieinlea of Christ, auloos to compus his

dfetrnctkni, tried to beti»y him into th« ezpreatfoQ of seditioos sentiments. Tb^y ap-pioBched him with reverence in t h ^ manner, with honejred words on their lips, and witli the DullRnant devil of deceit in their hearts. Havins, as they 8n]q>ofled, disarmed suspldon by t h ^ ftil> some flatteries, and secoted a place in his confi-drace by their well simulated earnestness and sincerity, they inqaiisd of the Savior; " I s it lawful to give tribute to Cn^ar, or not?" " I s it lawful for ua, the children ot Abraham, the chosen people of God, to countenance the usurpa-tions of the Roman, pagan authorities by yield-ing to their exactions ?" The answer of a Judas Maccabeus to such a question they cooid easily imagine, and it must have appeared impossible to tiiese eonning Pharisees and Uerodians that one claiming to be Messiah should ever think of re-plying in terms less revolutionary than would have been employed by that fleiy prince.
