Our Pnlpit. THE CHURCH IN THE mLDEUNESS.

BY BKV. W. W. EVEBT8, JU., l UH:.\aO. "Tlje woman Oed Into ttje wUavraeKa." - Rev. ill. ii.

SOME Baptistd seem tu think that our denomi-nation belongs to those Protestant bodies that

were produced by the Reformation of the six-teenth century, and, that we have no historical connection with any people before tiiat. time; as though the Baptiat denomination were like Mel-chisedec, without father, without motiier, without dewent, and having no beginning of iLiya; tu though it was some new spccios of Christians, in-stead of being an oflkhoot of the apostolic stock.

No: God cannot be without a people, nor Clirist without a kingdom.

God, who gave the moon and stars to rule the night, never left the world without a ray of the (udelesH light of truth to break through its gloom. Mighty as were the forces arrayed against his peo-ple,—powers of church, powers of State, powers of the Wicked One, —miRhtier sUll were their patience, and the Divine help. They loKt every-thing but their faith.

Bnt, God's chosen people never saw worse days under the new dispensation, than under the old; and yet, even bloo«ly Jezabel cotdd not find the seven thousand whom the Lord had kept in Israel, all the knees which had not bowed unto Baal, and eyery mouth which iiad not kissed hiin.

But, you ask, what are the names of these wit-nesses for Christ; these martyr communities; these reformers before the Reformation; these BaptMsoocessors of the apostles? Itwasscarcdy fifty years after the death of the last of the apos-tles, when a warm, enthusiastic preacher, named Montanus, arose in a little hamlet of Phrygia to rebuke the vices of priests and praple. As the Phlygians were n vCTy temperate people, quite averae to theatrical displays and the sports of the circus, his prcaching was very popultir. So great ^-as the number of his fo l low^ In the province of Asia Minor, that, the imperial edicts a ^ n s t tliem could not bo executed; wliUe, in the extreme west, the historian tells us, his moral principles obtained an influence which seemed almost a vic-tory. MontanLsm became the name of a move-ment that was great in its principles, if not in its author; that Included Tertullian among its ad-herents, and Irenicus among its defenders, and promis^, before the temporal power i n t e r f e ^ in behalf of the hierarchy, to impress its cluiracter OQ Christendom.

A century later tiian Montanus, there was con-verted, at Borne, on what seemed his dying bed, a distinguished Pagan philosopher^ named No-vat^n . The genuineness of this conversion was attoted not only by his learned treatises, which, in Neander's estinmUon, rank him as the most distinguished of the early theologians at Rome, bat, by his life of self-denial, and his death by martyrdom. He renewed the moral protest of Montanus, and, in response to his call, congre-gations of the faithful,called after him Navatians, Sfoang up in every province of the Roman empire firaa Armenia to Numidia and Spain.

Fifty years later, at the opening of the fourth centmy, there appeared, in northern Africa, a man of great Integrity and firmness of purpose, of wonderftil activity and administrative ability, ertidlta and expert In letters, and of wild and ilery doqaence, whom his devoted foUowere called Sonatas the Great. Such was the iuspiration of

his leadership, that, though he died in exile, liLs disciples, called by hLs name, set up pulpit agaiiut pulpit In everj- city, until Constantine complained that the Catholic churches were deserted,, and no candidates for the minhitr>- coultl liofotind. At least half, C^nuiiner (Vihi Aug. p. IS) says mure than Italf, North Africa joined the DonatiBts. On one occasion two hundntl aud seventy, on another four hundred nnd ten, IX>nattet jwstors were as-sembled together. Though under the ban of the ein|ierors, and the anathoma of the popes, they continued to spread. Neither land nor sea, .says Augustine, deterred their iiiLssionaries. They surviveil the invitsion «if the l>arbarkin Vandals; for Uregorj- the Great renewed the conflict with them: and thi>y wore »iot lost to history until the Moorish oinquest.

About the time of this conquest, we reiui of the con version, in Armenia, the scene of the success of Montanus and Novatian, of one Couitantine, who, like the great Aujjustiiie, lutil been a loairned Mauichean. He was coiiverteti by two uianu-script rolls of the Xew Ti'sbiment, which were prcKenteil to him by a Christian deacon, who, on his return from captivity in Syr|a, liad eiôyed his hospitality. Constantine was so delighted with his new trensuro, that he utterly discaried his Manichcan IxKiks. The writings of Paul so fa.scinatcd him, that he chauiêd his name to Syl-vester, one of PaulV coniiian.onis; and odlcd the churches he establishwl Ephtsus, Corintli, etc., after the places where Paul hiul preachitj. Tills devotion to Paid gave them the name of IVdlicians. Constantine was so much revered for his talents and piety, that it was extremely dlflQctilt to ob-tain any one to execute the deatii sentence upon him; and the imperial officer who had charge of the e.xccution was so much affected, that he him-self was converted, anil, like Ihiul, bccnine Ute leader of those he peisecuteil, and, in five short years, followed the old preacht-r in a martyr's death. But, the Paulicians .survivixl tlie deatli of their leaders, and covered Asia Minor. II is esti-mated that one hundred thou-sand of their num-lK;r were slain in the crusades a}înst tlwm by the Byzantine emiH-rors. Some of.them fled to the Saracens for sjifety, and recelvetl titles to dwell in. A remnant was traasported, in 970, across the HeIlesi>ont to Thrace, to .serve as guanls on the frontier. Hence, they carried inisBlonar}-operations into neighboring Bulgaria, tluit had just receivetl the gospel; and there they main-tained their existence, at least until the fifteenth centurj-, when tiioy are referred to in the pro-ceedings of tlie council of Balso. At home, they were known as Bogomiles; btU, when they emi-grated, in the eleventh century, to Italy and France, they passed by the name of tlieir home, and were ca l l^ Bulgarians. But, chameleon-like, their names were changetl to suit tlie soil; and they were soon known as Albigeascs, from the city of AIbi; Pickards, fhiin the French tliatrict of that name; Vaudols, from tlie Alpine valleys; or Bohemian Brethren, from thU distant land; or, to reflect their uuinner of life, they were known as Tisserands, or Weavers; Insabbati, from their wooden shoes; Pji»agini, or Wandereis; Oave-dwellen; and Turiupini, or \Vol\-c9, from their out cast life. Or they bore the names of dis-tinguished leaders; such as, Petrobrusians, from Peter de Brub, a convertoti priest, converteil by reading the Scriptures, who made, evangelistic tours through southeim France for twenty years, until he \»-a9 burnt at St. Giles. Some were called Henricans, from Henry of Toulouse, once a monk of the celebrated, monastery of Clugny. He was

an untiring student of the .Scrlptuns, an afituent and ardent s|)etiker, a rigid iiiorallst, a bold re-former. ThoU};h bani.she«l by the clcr>{>'. Ihf people welcomed and defended him. l ie was twice arrested; for when he t>s(ai>ed from Im-prisonment the first time. It was only to preta-li again: and the hist time, he was taken and con-demned to life-imprisonment, though his term was untimely shortened by a coiuinand Uuit he should be brought In chains to Toulouse, the early scenO(< of his lal>or<, and there committal to the flamiv.

The name uiost fiimlliar to us is WaldcuiHM, probably derived from Peter Waldo, a prominent burgb^ of Lyons. Waldo was so much affected at a biiiquet by the suddtm death of a fruind, that he solil his (foods, and gave to thi; iioor; and then gatiiered about him a company of iKior, but pious men, kuown as the good men, or pour men, of Lyons, who traversed the land oa iay-pnycliers.

These peoples, under these diflbr^nt nainm, throiiKcd LomlMU-dy, witli its powerful citlc^; Pie«liuout, with Its secluded vallej-s and Inac-cessible motuitaiu liu>tuus.sc»; and Provence, with its indciiendent cstatw of noblemen, in Bohemia, far away fhim Rome, eigthy Uiousand found refuge. In the diocese of llidua, thejr had forty-one schools: in two others, ten each. And tliroughout Italy, no city was left unvi«ltcd by their prcaclieis; even Bittne, the heart of the inquisition, was visited. In France, the}' consti-tuted Uie ruling population of a Ihousund dtiffl; and, in the country, the casUcs of the uoblllly were opeu to them. Their schools received the patronage of the rich; their indu.strhU and com-mercial Intercourse develop^ the Langufidoc, the first modern language of Bttro|>c; and their do-mestic aud knightly virtues furnished the theme tluit impressed the Troubadoura. The bishop of CamLsseon petitioned the Pope to recall him fttmi his fhiitless field. Bernard reported from his visit to these distriils, tiiat he found chunJitM witliout people, tiie sacraiueut neglect, feast-days unob-served, and children imbapUxetl. AUelanl sa>-s: "Oiirat^ ' isso im|>eriled hy heretics, that there seems to be no footing left for tlie true faitli." Knighton, the Elngllsh chronicler, says: "Half England became l^llard: you could not meet two men on the street, but one was a Lolhtrd." Hallam, the hbtorian of the middle agCM, sa}*s: " An iiiundatlou of heresy broke, in Uie twelftli century, over the church, which no i>ers(xnitioii was able thorouj^hly to repress, till it flmdly over-spread li:df tlie surfiace of Europe." Willhuii Neubriittycs, a contemporar}-, says: "They were multiplied as the sauds of the sea."

The Pai«ey, then at tlie height of its po'ver, holding all Euroiie as its fief, kings us its vaAuls, crowns as its gifts, and, coHscioas of its strength, was sending its chivalrous servants to wrest the Holy lAud from the Saracens,—at Uiat moment, the Papney found a foe, worse ihan the Turk, to contend with at liome; and one (Imt was under-mining its infiueuce, until it sceintnl on the point of dying from sheer ixipuhir neglei f. It was only by proclaiming the same erusudiM against tlie herctics that iiad been niised against the infidels, and by laying waste the edeii of southern France, and depopulating her teeming cities, that the peril was escaped, and the Reformation postponed for three ocuturics. To finish in detail the work of extermination, the Dominican friars were organ-ized intb bands of inquisitors, aud armed with full powon of church and State, to detect and utterly dt^troy the heresy.

If any one « in doubt th:»t the Person (not Uie mere iiumau jmrt) of the ChrUt sudertd, let htiii esiKvially note—

1. We an- healed of the wounds of our sin by the stripes and bruises of the /Wsoii w ho sutFereti on Calvary.

J . A l l the punishment due our sins (and it was iuliniti') was laid on tJie sufferer of C a l v a r y ; and he bon' It for as as our .substitute: and Uiough it liore him down, for a atitson, under the shades of death, yet he tini.siuHl it, and ri«se again. T h e tinite .-ûflering of a linite jierson eould never, in eternal agi'S, make an iiijiiiitr saeritUv, whieb the violatwl l a w d e m a m k i l ; and then fore it would 1H' of endless duration. The I'l-rson who suffered mast have IKI-H inlinite, sinee he suffereil tinitely, — but a few hours on the cross.

The one whose i>oii/ (not mere flesh) was made an otrering for sin is the Jast i t ler of the miuiy whose iniijuities he Iwre on the eross. Who Is it tliat jastilU« us? Who t-an jus t i fy us? nmn, or tiod in Christ on ly?

I. T h e one who ixiuntl out his soul unto di-ath, and iMire the s ias of the m a n y , is the Ukirious One, w ho ever liveth to nuike Intereession for his lK'<iple as their g n u t High-priest.

W e shall notieo the ehanictcr of the saeriliit> in a future ehnpter, when w e eome to examine the Pr i i s t ly office of Christ.

T h e bliMMl shed by the illustrious sulferer of Calvarj- is cxdlwl, by the Holy Spirit, " t h e bloo«J of G o d , " with whieh he purchased his church, sat is fy ing the infinite claims of the lîw with it ; and it was the blood of God the Son: for so as-sociati-d w as lils Permn w ith a Inxly like our own, that, not a drop of IIIIKKI could U ' drawn fnini it without g iv ing his i>erson i>ain, any more than IiIimhI « in lie drawn from our iKnlk-s without g iv ing us i>s\in; and w hen his blood, which was his physlcid life, wius p.xhaustcd, he died, as w e die. His Div ine Person was sepanited from the mortal body, but. In no senst' annihilated, or i-eiLsed, for a moment, to lie conscious. Ini-on-celvably precioas, in the ist lmation of (JIMI the Fatlier, mu5t have Ixvn each drop of the bhxxl of his own beloved Son, since it cost his persf)n a iwin, and his nature a groan; and what shall we say of the anguish, the travail of his soul, which constitute*!

^ A.v Oi.i> AX^VBAITIST. ItKMAitKs. — W e have no objections to stating

what we think it b for the gratiflwition of A n Old Anabiiptist, and possibly others, for wo too have noti-d sonie.stuinge utterances of hite.

First , Uien, w e do not hold that l a n d n i a r k l s m is a new thing under the sun, but from the tlrst l iave claimed Uiat it was an old practict; that had lallcn almost into disuctude thirty years ago when we cummenccd to advocate it. W e learned when traveling down in Suuthwi'st Mississippi, from the old fathers of the .Vasociations aud minlstr>-there, Coker ,Fielder , I teevcs and CrawfonI that af-flliation and intercommunion in tlie ordinanct^ were not so much us 'mentioned in the Mississippi n i v e r and Missiswippi Associations, and never had been from the organization of those IHKUI-S. Our jK'rsonal attention was cidletl for tho first t ime to tile subjwt when our ageil mother offerwl her-si lf to tlie church in jthe first year of our pastorship in Nashvi l le . She was an immeiscd PedoUiptlst. We laid the matter befon- Dr. Howell as a new and doubtful question to us then. H o assun-d us that her reception u}>on such a baptism was vtdid, and fully acconled with the pnictice of his own church, and of the denomination in general, and he, not we, recoivetl her info the Second church. Our attention thus cnllwl to it caused us to study it well, and the mon> w e did study it the more wo were convinced of its un.scripturalnes8 and incon-sistoiicy with true Baptist principles, and our first doubts crystaliziil into convictions, and our coii-victioiLs early found expression In our preaching and writing and practice. It was thefirst question on which wo joined i.ssue witli Dr. Howel l , which culminated in the.sadiUiemition which followetl in attcr yi i ir- . The ver j -grounds on whieh w e advo-wited the inviUidity, not " voidablencss " of alien immersions, forced us to the logical conclusion, that larsons unl)aptize<l and belonging to no SiTiptural chun;h, and withal advocat ing tl;?adly error, were no more authorizetl by God ' s word to I)re:ich or to administer tho 8upi>cr than they wen> to baptize, and that they had as much au-thority to iK-rfonn one officii as tlie other, and If we ought not to recognize their authority to perform one w e ought not to do so in tho other, and then another conclusion irresistibly followed : T h e « ' societies of confessedly unbaptized, and, tlie large maJority,not even professedly r fgeneratemembew, WOTO not, and should not, by a n y act of ours be acknowledged as Scriptural clmrches, and that nnion-meoUngs, and erclaslastical affiliation with

T H K B A P T I S T . S 1 3

them was incoaslstent if Scriptural, but evidently uiiscriptiiral.

We therefore found ourself advot-atlng non-afliliatiou wi th the confassedly uiiUtptizctl for ywirv, when no man or Baptist paper stood liy us in the 8up[>ort of cither principle, as applied to the iiulplt or to baptism. W e set forth these principles in connecthju with a n^-i ierat ion by the Holy Spir it liefore Utptism, and a church oiKTateil npon tho basis of a pun- executive di»-mocracy, as the dist inguishing chanicteristii-s of li;iptlst and N e w Testament church. These we held and advoi«to»l as the old l.-indiiiark> nf primitive Christ ianity.

It was .some years after we had ciilvrt'<l upon public l i fe as presieher and a l i tor , that we wi-re invited to hohl a meeting of days with Kid. J . M. Pendleton's church in Bowl ing (irecn, K y . it was before tho railroad was laid from Nashvil le to Louisv i l le ; and the journey had to be made in the old stage-coach. W e rcsichetl the town on Fri i lay night. On Saturday was church nuH'tinK. Wedo(! l in«l the invitation to pre-.ich the senium lieforo conference, as we wore fatigued, and our long .serviire commonceil the next morntng. Bro. Pentleton preached, aud, after the scriiiou, OJK-UC*! the " d o o r of tho c h u r c h , " as it was tlicn ndlei l : when a lady came forward, and prissi-ntiil a letter from the Ciimpbellitesociety In l<oulsville, which, in the letter, was termed the Christian church. She was received uiwn this k-ttor without obji-cUou from any one. W'ith the iiastor, w e dined w ith one of the senior deacons, J o h n B u n i h a m ; and, in u conversation tliat followed, w e proix>s«l to return to Nashvi l le by the next coach, as we found ourself at the wrong church for a nui ' t ing: ami, when askwl to explain, we allegii l the action ol the church in receiving that letter, and the lady on her CUmpbellite baptism, w h i d i , to our mind, was recciring a pro/emed/i/ lumyniatr meinU r iitin tht e/ittrc/i; for it declared that she had been iiii-merseil, and that by an unbaptizeil man, to sii iire tlie remission of s i n ; and if this was her faith, if she believed the creed she professed, she was an uuiHinloned, unregenerate person; yet the i;!i|>-tist church at Bowl ing Green had publicly en-dorsed this as the Scrlptund design of baptism, by receiving and pronouncing her ltai>tism as val id. A l ive ly discassion foiiowctl, in w hich we •oaintained this principle against those estimable brethren. W e averred as a naison that wo should re-turn home, that, remaining to pre-ach, w e should meet certainly preach the principles wo held; and we would bring upon ourself " a fire in the rear , " w hich would paralyze the infiuonce of the meet-ing. A compromise was finally etTected; we w as to preach wluit w e believeil, and there should be no dlscawlon or opjiositlon until the meeting closeil. A gracious meeting followed; and some seventy-flvo or e ighty were receivetl into the church. W e never preachctl or prayetl niori-{earnestly for any one thing in life, than the con-viction of that dehule<l memlier; and, thanks U) G(KI, she was the first one who presentetl herself for prayer, as a sinner deeply convicted of unpar-doned sin, and her just condemnation: and the fiillowing day , she made n bright profession of ri-generatlon by t he Holy Spirit .*

At the close of this meeting, we found the view of Bro. Pendleton in harmony with our own ; and w«' reiiui'stwl him to grant us an esiK-cial favor, to which lie agreed, if in his iM)wer. W o tlien gtivc liini the subject on which to write an article for our jKiiier over his own name, which he consented to do, imd, in .some weeks after, f o r w a r d « l us the manascript. Wo printeil it ; and were sti well pleaswl with it, tluit wo resolved to put the matter into niori' permanent form, and bring It out as a tract, under the auspices of the Tenneaset? Baptist Tract Six'iety. W o submitted tho niiatter to the r o m m i t t w on Publications; and from several, it niPt with the most bitter oppo.sltion. But we did bring it out, without s ^ ' h endorsement, and gave it its t i t l e , -

\ X OLD KK-SCT. It was not tho okl landmark, as though tb< ri'

were but one, but wie of the old landmarks. There Is no claim to or ig inal i ty , but a j>ositive assertion that it was oidy )c-set, not- origiiiiitiil.

I lpre are a few sentences from our words of intro-duction : —

" S o m e Baptists m a y be ready to op|)ose the |K)-sition taken by Brother Pendleton in ibis Tract, sup|>osii]g it to be some iieir practice sought to 1h' intnxluced. It is an otd practice sought to be re-v ived . It Is an old landmark, which a mo<lern and false charity, and an un.scriptural li lxT.dity, have well nigh removetl, tliat Is sought to lie re-p l a w l . It is a coniiDg up to the consistent SiTii>-tural giound, whicli our brethren, the martyrs, from the first agt^, Ixjidly and feark'ssly stixxl uptm aud consecrated witn their blootl. It was the ground occupied by the first Baptists of .\ineri««; and it I s the ground tluit we, as Biiji-tists, mast o< cupy at all sacrifice, or betray our «»use, and the ultimate triumph of our principle*, and our infiuonce.

" Y ie ld ing to the sophlstrj.- and sjiecious charity of o|ien-coiuiuunion. Baptists of Great Britain have well nigh lost their visible exfaJenco; and this new form of 'o | )en communion —this pulpit iiimniunion —this demand uptm as on the part of Pedobaptlsts to n'ct)gnlzi' their s<Kiotii's befort^the world as gospel churches, and their niiiiisters as legitimate gos})ei ministt-rs, by inviting them into our pulpits, and u<ldr««ing them thus in our Con-vention and through the pn»», vliîrl;.- involves the surn nder of our distinctive priiicipliw. Our anct-sturs would not yield to this unjast and ab-sunl demand, anil acconlingly drew down ui>on thi'ir devoted luads the cruel hatreil and fierce wrath of Pagans, Papists, and Protistauts ."

Now, the liiith that made a n-cogiiizetl I.jind-marker from tho first, was non-recognition of, by non-afiiiiation with, human societies as chun-hes of ("hrist, or their niini.stry as Scriptural ministers and administrators of church ordinances; as, preachiug the gospel, baptizing, or administering the supper. A gi-uuiue Okl Landmarker was one who n>,(li<i//i/ adopU'<l the whole principle in l>iiir/i', as W i l l a s faith, and not one wlio dividcil it; hiiiiliiig a part, ami denyin;; a iKirt.

Wc never clai IIIMI or adiiiittml any brother was an Old liiiuiliiiarker who ri'faKsl pulpit n-cog-nition and coiiimuiiiim ami acknowkdKis l the valiitily of alien baptlsuis, any more than we would tl ' ink of claiming one to l>e a Liindmarker who rcfust'il the pulpit and the iKiptlsm but ail-luitti-d to the supper. Nur did w e ever know or hear uf a brother who claimed to tie an Old Uind-luarker, who admitted the i>ossible val idity of lUien immersions. Nor liid w'e ever fellowship one as a I jmdniarker , or ever hear of one who clainiwl to l>e an Old Landmarker , who held that Pedobaptist, l iunpbel lUe or Mormon socleUes wereScriptur.d, " l i v a n g c l l c a l , " "Chr i s t ian , " ' or " t J o s j i e l " churches of Christ.

It Is not the refasingtoe.xchangcpulpits inenily, nor denying the validity of alien immersions merely, or denying that human religious organ iza-tloiw are truly Si-rlptural churches merely,but at is a consistent adherence to a gretit principle that embraces all of these.

The non-recognition Scriptural churches by afiillation eecl^^îastical,')r anyallianceorcD-oiwrationtliat Is sas«fptiblc of iR'lng ap|uirently or logically con-strued tiy our members, or theirs, or the world, into a m-ognition of itvli-siastical or ministerial (siuality with Biiptist churches.

This is the liii.- '-riK k on which OhI Uindmark-isni was griiundwl at the Ix-ginning and on which it stands to-day and will stand " t i l l the M:ister apiK-iirs."

In one thing all L iiidniarkers are uiianlmoasly agrceil, viz: Thai wc do ni-ognize before the world Ihosi' teachers as val idly biiplized, and or-daineil gosjM'l ministers and sntiiid in Iht /al.'/i, with whom we as Baptist ministers e.\charge pul-pits, or Iliptixt churches invite to SITVC ihcm as ministerial supplies or n-vivalists for loiigiT or shorter iieriinls. If they mayon.'ixfrnffy nQTSoa churt'h one week or one month they maj/ one y e a r or a f{fe tittw. Landmnrkers are .igref-d that it l=i recsgnizing the orguniz.iti<iii a- a true church of Christ to receive its immersions as Scriptural and valid, since they liold that no organiaition but a true church of Christ Is in |MJSS.-SS1O!1 of the or-iliniuu-es or authority to ailniini.ster baptl«m.

Uindmarkers hold with onea ivon l , that to en (l(>r>-<'lhe val idity of the baptism Is to endorse thi ili-siKii with which tho baptism was ret-elvod, ami siim- the design with which any church baptiws i the c..nf>>s.sir)n of her diK-trinc touching bapti.siii

thon?fore to endorse the Ixiptism we endorse faith of that organization as .'-^•riptural.

I j tndmarkets agree, that, when we go to the comniunion-tabie of Piilobaptists or Canii>I)ellites, or receive them to our own, we do thereby en-donê them before the world as truly members of Scriptural churches; and, as no one e m IK> a c luirch-memUr without val id Iraptism, we also endorsi- their baptism, though but a sprinkling in infancy, as Scriptural and valid. This one con-clusion, from the general principle, that, we do teach by acts iiiort' forcibly th:in by words, idl Baptists hold in common with L: indniarkers; but it alone makes no one a L a n d m a r k e r ; it takes the undivi ihi l principle in pnicti i f , a.s well as theory.

W e hold, and are able to slmw, that our true historicid anctwtors, from the ajxistli's down, have firmly held this principle ol non-afliliation in church ordinanit-s with t h i w they regardisl as in manifest hen-sy. Bullinger, the historian of the Ueformation, i lwlared —

" T h e Anabaptist- think thi-iic^lvi-s to l>e Hu <>nl>l truf rhurrh <>/ Clirirl, and acii'ptabic to (iiwl; and teach that they who by baptlMii an- re<-»'iviil into their cliun-hes itinjlil iiuf hi hnn iini/ inm-uumiun [fellowship] with (those culle<i] evangeli-cal, or any other what.soi'ver: for that our [i. e., evangelii-jd Prote^tallt, or Kefor imil ] cHurchcs an mtt trill r/iiirr/it.', i n;/ iiiorr limit tht i hiirvhrr of ftu I'ufjigtji."

This liberalizing, latituiliiiarian, and uudeiioiiii-nationid spirit, tluit has taken such a fearful hold ujKjn our churches, is but the disjL<tnm> ciri-i I i.l tho truce that Baptists made with I 'apacy, iiu-lHiMe»l in Protestantism, by which to escajK' per-stx'ution, which they have not done.

l i is the principle on which Old Ijinilmarki.siii ri-sts that c;in s;ive .\iiieric:in lliiptists from the -liiugh <if ii|KMI-<'<iniiiiunii(ii, which is coiifi^sMslly dcnoiiiinational ile:itli. In the la- t yi-ar-s uf lir. Poinilexter of Virginia , he frankly confi^^-wi tliN to the writer, and di-clanii that all truly aim trictly consistent Baptists would Iw f m i n l ti>

stand uiMm it. Twenty-f ive yiiirs ago, this wa" the only pa|(»T

What a mighty change has been »n>ught, but not without the uiightii><t struggle from fin's witliin as well as fnini without. But ti>«lay there are no less than thirtwii , more or less pronouncwl, I j indmark litiptist |Ki]M'rs; while wo recount tho ministers by thotLsaiids, and the iiiembors by tens of thoasiinds: and fully three-fourtKs of all the young ministers coming forwaixl are Landmarkers . These imjiers an-, Ihe /iWiVii//iiforr/rr, North Carol ina; the / A m W , Middle Tenni^vsi-O; T H E BAITIST, West Tennes-so«>; the .Vixtifnip/ii Ikiitlirl Jtcffiril, and fimthrm Ii(ij>tift, Mlsslssipjii; the /itij>tiitt, Arkan-siLs; the TIJTM Ikn>liKl, and JUijttiitt Jfrrtilil,' T e x a s ; thi.' lUittli-Flaij, and Mimouri 7/mi/(/, Missouri; the UVjt/mi Iicrnrdcr,i and Jtiiliicnh /kijitift (i;ol.), K e n t u c k y ; the ILA/îi>t IUIIUUT 'Sajil..r. 1 "" llinols. There are others just on tho lirlnk, and

almost jiersuadoil, but not oitonly nnmniinrrd. It U most grat i fy ing to know that there Is only one liaptist piqior know n to us in tlie whole J^tuth, that advocates the Scriptiirality of alien Ini-merslotts, the Kichmoitd Ili-mfil. What cansi' for devout gratitude have the frienils of a pure gosiH-l in the South and West! We csin scjircely re-aliw the change eflcctcHi in twenty-five years. " Bli-ss the Ijord, O my .«oul! "and all that is within nie, bless his holy n a m e . " Then ' is a tremendous Infiueni-c si'ttlng towanls Uboralism and ojien-communinnlsm it true, but not from the ranks of the Old Liind-niarkors. but as the logical oiinsequeiice of the untenable positions ani lnnscrlptural premises of Anti-Lindniarkers. Their premises, l)y an inexo-rable logicjil ni-ccssity, fon-e them into oin-n-comiiiunion in ever>-thing. The man di«s not reason who can exchange pulpits and baptb-m with a minister and consistently n-fuse to n w i v e the supper at his bands. Baptism Is a? neccswary to the proachine of the gwpel n« It i« to partaking of the supper. No Anti-lnndmnrker wmild Iny hfs hand on tlie head of an unlKipti/.eil man to c<jni-mlîion him to baptizi* and pri-:u h.

Franklin Owen^ of Moulton, Ahi., and con-tinued it until the toll of IWU. 1 came to Texas with a promise from Bro. Owen to send It to me as soon us I let him know where to send it. In 1847 I w rote Bro. Owen to send it to me at Crockett, Houston county, Te.xas. He had It sent to me and wrote me that it had chaged hand.s,and that Bro. J . R. Graves was editor in Bro. Howell's pUice. I found on reception of the paper J. K. Graves's name standing ont a*; prominent cilitor. Bro. Owen said tlie pajier was much lietter 1 eommenced laboring for the spre:»d t.if its tireuia-tion from that day, and as my uttacbmeni urew stronger for it I worked the liarder for it, and I hoi»e to livo yet many years to read its goUlen liages, and seethe Old Banner, though beaten with the tail of many l>atlles,still tloating pixjudly higher and higher, In proiMirtion to the soundness of the faith It has and continms to aiivtH-.ile. 1 have taken s»'venU other pa|)ers during this tinie, but finding it brought all the refreshments iluit 1 nee«led spiritually, and that the cliun-h order and practice it advocated was to my mind puri'ly .-ûnd and E^riptural, I Iwvo long sinco adopted it a^ a fixture in my hoase and thereby save money and time, and get thesimon-pun'doi'trim' and pniclice of ai>ostolic times.

Bro. (tUAVics: —1 bei-iime a subscriber to your paper at the time of your first visit to McLemorcs-\nlle in If m or 47 I don't recollect whicii, iiut prior to that time I had borroweil and read it for several years. Have ever been a sul)scriber when pub-lished, except a few months last year when my time expired, but sent again as soon as 1 could get the money. I think I will not do without it a-long as I am able to knit, which I e.xpect to do several years yet, aa I am only eighty next .May. Can walk tvvo or three miles at a time and farther If necessary. This will show that 1 am still pleaded and will prove it next November, unless I fail lo get the subscription money. May you long live to supjjort our cause, and may the Lord rai.-c up your sons to be your superiors (if possible) before he takes you from us, is the prayer of your friend and sister in Christ. S . P.

TO THE MlNlttTEKS OF THE SOUTH.

I Uke thU nulboa oi calling your at-enliania the ctlsbniUd Body and Lung Unwe, wkleli I iwW for the lant •tghtMD yeaM, that 1 may make it « beneftt to my paper hy maWng it a far KtcaUr Ijene&t to you.

I wilt hriefty gite you my teaMM for tecommewUng thU inTaluable article to yoo. More than eighteen year« ago, 1 waa tboniugliiy broken down in voice from eaoMilve preaching; I coulil »p«ak but a mile while without getting lioarw; my throat waa generally ion-, ami eauily irriUted. and it* tone became heavy and haiky soon a hacking cough let in, that lncr«ue.i, until at the cloee of a long meeting, my voice falle<l (entirely, umler Ihe eOecU of a chronic UryngiiU tiiat iiiiun luperinduted bronchitin, which «eri-ouiily ihreaune.1 roy life. I waa now oimpelled to ilwUt from preaching, and, if pauible, overcome thoee difficultie*, •mfrtoover the lo*t treaiure, —the tMioe, that to a mluliter ii more valuable than gold or jeweli, or be »iient forever. I applied U> the moat eminent phyiician», ,ml wa* but little helpetl ; «avethe«'x-cUion of an elongated ovuLi, they could do nothing but adviae reat; and thl-i I waa coropelle«l to take. What canned and continued that con«tant irriution •Jill kaukiug cough, they could neither explain nor prevent. Providence threw the remedy in my way. My wife w** iuffi-ring from proUp»u» uteri, and the profeMir of the theory and practice of me-licine in the Univemity of >;a«hTille waa her phyiician, and he prwcribcd for her ihid Identical Brace, which ipeedily relieved her. She complaincd of a drag-ging down and no buipiage could bet tar eiprew my feeling*, and eopeciaily after preaching. It occurred to me if it wo/i good fur ona o».«eol dragging down, why not for another. Without consult-ing any one I procured one Urge enough lor myself and put it on, the first time liimbtleiH it wafl ever worn by a man (or Duch a reason, and the result was, the ir-riution of my throat «oon quieted, and tlie hacking ere Umg ceaacd, and the viii.* commenced building up, until I ntuld articulate, which 1 bad not dune fnr twelve montha, and varyswm I com-menced to prcach again. That llrace I wnre nearly ten years without communi-cating ili« wonderful ailvanUget to any one, tiecauae I thunght I waa uiing an trticle that wia Invented for the use oi females. Trivately to a few rpccial friends who wete suffering as 1 nuOered. I expUlned the uae ol the Brace, and through me they obuined it, and were releaved aa I was. I made known the power of the Brace to restore, strenxth-rn and prrwrve the voicc in public fpMkem, and then commenced offering it as a premium to minUten for lubscrib-era.

The cause of hnarsenra*, sore thmat, laryngitis, and Anally bronchitis in min-isters, and all these symptoms of "drag-ging down," goneness, exhaustion after •peaking, and weaknewu of the back and Inltw, and piles, U ihr $Ughl rtlaxafion

. rJ the HhrUtminal mtuefen, irMeh alioin /Ac bnireh tn tint, kiimnt by marJkrtl hollow* ortr f/if Um nf the hfj)*. Now all know that the linings ol the stomach u e connected with those of the. throat and affect the vocal organs, and when the stomach sinks a straining U brought to bear upon the throat, and speaking or talking wiU irriute it and prod uce hoanenesi, and if continued, wr« throat, lad all the train of evils that minfarten •M wont to complain of, and which haa carried^ hundreds to their gnres, and which yearlr are laying aside ai usele« hundreds of atheia. Hie pmlapns of the abdnminal musclea is the canae of the fealing o f Wchhm" and exhanation •lul "Uac Hondayt" that moit mlnhten know n mil . la it b othemkx tod pUet.

Now, after a penooal experience of near-ly twenty years, and th» added expc-rwDce of moie. than one thousand jainu-ten upon whom I hare fitted the B i ^ with invariable succw, I am nrepared l« testify of l u lealmerita. Without it, I am satisfied I should have been hud adde from public speaking eighteen yean m. Hy using It, 1 liave fully rccoverwl a lost voice, awl nm blwwtl with one of un-common iMwer and endurance. « i t l ^ out it, two or three sermonsexha^ and give me the aenae of fatigue, and leajre me with a hMvy, husky voice; with It, I can speak hours a day without Mhaiw-tio.> or hoarseness. I now use It only when spcakinr, and thus prmrve my voicc and and physical enewiea. J Jo not believe that any one would ever be sfflictcd with hentia, or^jOfs, or weakness of the back or loins, should he wear it ordinarily loose, and only tight whM Hiieaking or putting forth unusual efforts. It ix a preserver ol a good voice a»l of a sound physicUl condition. I t iboald be worn liv every minister to tarry the ener-gy aud' vigor of hia youth far into old

"^.abor in iii rostrates and .

.ji voice and itrengUi, and lays the foundation of premature decay.

Tliis invaluable article I am prepared to place within thf reach of ewrr Bap-tist minister ol the South, and when be has worn it one month, or through one meeting, he will evermore be grateful to me.

One tliousand ministers and brethren and sisters boar united testimony to the fact that thU Brace is a scientific Shoul-rfrr and i t i n j Brace; that it supports the back, abdomen, stomach, lunra; prevents lassitude, hoarsen^, piles, bemia, con-sumption ; increases the breathing capac-ity; gives strength to the body; increases

ing her household aflaiiB, ban improved steadily, and is «<>«) in the ert-ioymaf r^f her tvonlrH health. Wortls caniiul e.T|>rftvt my graUtude for such a blcsting. May C<o«i bleai you, dear sir.

Bapttet church. Their doctrines were dniwn di-rectly from the Bible as the true and only source of imtb. So exclusive was the devotions of the I'auliclaas to the Scriptures, that they received the des lg^ t lon of Bible worehippers. In the contro-v « h I « of Peter Venerable with the Petrobrusians, t h e ^ d inonk n-as wIlHng to argue from the Word lif C ^ , tbbngh he could not understand why those - w ^ dLsplsed ttiei ^ n r c h Fathers, the masters of t h e « m t ^ s l ^ l d reverence apostles or p r o p l ^ .

••jii ^ There communities wefe children of the Bible a ^ ^ 'ûch are d e s ^ d e d from the same ancestry as ' m p d ^ Baptist^ ' tho churdtee of the apostles. As successive impressions of the same steel plate do not differ, these communities transcribed fhim tables of the gospel and the law, must be the same b i ' ^ agei. Wherever, then wo find communities maintaining the sola snprraaacy of the divine word, there must be Baiîst churches. Thus in the 8U£«*ôn free and independent churches, ^ o r e and since the Beformatton have been pre-

I t was a protesit against the luxury and profligacy that were secularirJng the church. It wa.« the .separation of a bo«ly claiming to be qilritual from the communion of Rome that was condemned as carnal. It wa^ the restoration of the dispensation of the Holy Spirit that hart been supplanted by sacrementR. It .was the prctclamation of the priesth(Hxl of all believers as oppotwd to any class of priesthood, anil the demand from all profess-Ing Christians of the Nime high moral charactrr.

The Novatiun movement ha^ a similar signifi-cance. It was a protest against the lax diwipline of the hierarchy. The Novatian forever excluded from follow.ship all who had denic<I the &ith or were giiilty of gross offences, and for this reason WQTO filrst cailcd Puritans, or the pure. ' T%o Doiiatkt SL-hlsni, though a half century

later, had the same cause as the Novatian, viz., great Iaxit.v of church dlsci]>llneaftcrthelast great persecutions under Oiodetian. The i m m e d i ^ o c ^ i o n how<ivor was.snid to be the onlination of one traitor by another, bnt a local and iiersonal d i l u t e caunct n movenient so widespread ani l raduring. I>u't*ln gives a true characteriza-t ^ ' ^ t h e Dc«atlst controvin^y, In these irords: ' T h e T>onatLst« maintained /he true <'hurch ought to consist «f none but lioly and just men.

radical position, but asserted ot known evil In a churcli not only destroys church, but contaminates evny. diurcli commnn-loi; with. i'>ne of their pwtotH was exdodcd for denying the truth of that position. Wl>en Augus-tine, in h b a i l m e n t , appealed to the prescmcc of Judas among the t w d v e apostles, to the parable of the tares in the Held, and the fisli net, ho was re-minded that Judas «-cnt out as soon as be was discovered; the fish were cast out as 80<h> as ^bey were caught, and the fidd In which the tares grew, Is not tbe church bat the Avorld. When a t length there occurred a division among the Donatists, the Issue was made upon the question of enforcing a still stricter discipline.

The names given to the PanlicLins, or lovers of Ftkul, and Bogomiles, or lox-ers of God, are an Index to the character of their churches. They utterly abjured communion with the Greek church, and yet their purity of life, and devotion to principle, extorted praise, even from their Greek historians. One of those pays them this tribute: They were commanded to Cost and keep unspotted from sin, to live pure and holy lives, to owe nothing and yet show mercy, to be humble, studious of the truth, and charitable one towards another.

The Xêtroburslims believed in thespirltualityand holinesB of the church. A cathedral is no t a church, they said, the word does not mean a structure of walls, but a congregation of the ihithful. « • •

GeraM, a representative of the Alblgenses, told the BIAop of Oambray, their doctrine was to foiv sake the world, to tame the lusts of the flesh, to earn their own living, to Insult nobody, but to be diaritable to ail. * * » • » •

Ecdesiastlcal councils held jact before and after the year 1800 opposed any recounx-to pouring, except under streta of cireumsfnnwiH. The old form was rapidly displaced, though, a hundred years later, andaeventy years before th? Beformatlon. The 'MriiVmaian statatca still refnr (o pouring as the Buxlem yny. But tbe old form with the halo of age and tndi t loo aboot It, wiUi its baptisteries and deep foiitB still standing, and frweoesand bas rdiefs kmkiag down from rathe-, dral wails, was not treated with contempt, bui was allowed, as in the faterhism of Trent, tbe t )m place In the flefinltion oC baptism.
