Sy,btsmatic Tli?o"ogy, iiV. .T..1,. DAGH. - _ ■ 111 press, and to be hs.sued, about U.r, first of Septendier, a standard work on Sys tematic Theology, by Rev. J. L. Dagg, D. ^ ])., tif Georgia. The Southern Bapti.st Pub- ‘ lioatioii Societal hasfiir considerable time past, had this important treatise under promise, in order to meet an acknowledged want in the Baptist denomination, not only in the South, but in the entire country. No book has ever yet appeared, Irom Baptist authorship in the United States, which rises to the dignity and high authority'of a. standard on s^’steraatic theology. Since the days of President Dwight ! no American divine has pretended to elabo rate a comiiiete outline of Ohrislian doctrine. But among all of our American writers, there ' has never j'et appeared a book of suffic;,iently ^ briel, yet congirehensive limit.-^, as wouirPan- pwer the want of a tcxiNbook in theological seminaries, or in the hands of ministers lor the private training of theological students. And self educated ministers have equally nee ded a manuel which would present m a com pact and complete form, the great and harmo nious deve.lo[)morit of Christian theology. Ill the present work, this want will in a ve ry largo degree, be satisfied. It contains the result of'Dr. Dagg’s be.st thinking, now in the maturity of his life, after a long coui’se of teaching and experience, as a student, a min ister, a theological instructor, and a college pi-esiclent. The Publication Society have stereotyped this work at the outstart; and it is believed it will meet with a wide demand, not only by ministers, but by all thoughtful Christians. It is an octavo, of abput five hun dred pages. Orders should be foiwvarded eaily, to our Depository Agents, Charleston, S. C. We will thank Baptist paper's to copy this announceinerit. TIic ministry? Good Work. Tiie Rev. Dr. James B. Romeyn, of the llcformed Dutch church, has recently pub- lished a sermon, designed to be a ‘-parting memorial to the people of liis foniier chai'g cs,” in which he gives this testimony to the value of his profession; “I record the convic tion, for the encouragement of the young, and in view of the wants of the church, that no situation in life can bo compared for dig- liitvq facilities for usefulness, intellectual iiri provoment, growth in |iiet3-, peace of mind, and all the elements of the highest happiness and vvell-being, with that of a gospel minister who loves his Master and his woi'k, and who in his turn is eslcemed and loved fur his woi k’s .sake.”—liel. llerahl. Some eloquent preachers are like those fine artists who paint windows, and the ob scure, mid ill too many instances exclude the liuht.

G. W. UNDERWOOD, Chm’ii. on Temperstnee, no end, ami can only hold him, to contain his majesty’ and wisdom. “Known unto the Lord are all his works,” and when lie comes to call up the s'leeping dead, the judgment will be committed to the Lion of the tribe of Judah anil his seed; for .says Jesns in John 5: 22,—'“The Iriither hath cominittcd all judgment to the Son,” ami as Christ ami his people are one, they will sit in jndginoiit with him. See ist Cor. 0 : 2, 3, ‘‘Do yc not know that the Saints sliall judge the world? and it the world shall be judged by' you, are ye unwiyrtiiy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that wo shall judge angels?”&c. So one records it when he come.s he will bo attended by ten thousand of bi.s saints; and anotiicr says, tliey that are his, will God bring with him. We understand it then, that if Christ briiifTS them friim he.aven it. will lie tn takathein haeka- gimi Ki Ir.aver., art! 1 ul ii cm y s i jm.t.. l. .i •■■•.ci \v.> c.'hi- tho reiiviindor are e.vpoct ing to commence teaching this fall. Surely, the “Oria” are not a cla.ss of drones, and theirs is an education to “use, not waste.” MM bid them Godspeed. At tlii.s rate of labiir they will neofl rest by and by. ]\Iay they all find it “above.” The evils of intoxicatjg drinks are too apparent to need eoinmont —the-bane to society Jj the destroyer of our race. Dear Brethren: WeAe glad to know that many ot our Church es have taken a pennanlit stand on the te-total principle, but are soiTy to learn that Ihcriu'e some who still encourage the practice by their e.vample. 'ml such, as they value their own peace, ,• andThe safety of their own families, to practice. All of which is" I'lpeotfully submitted. ■ J. KKNNEMOllE, Chm’n. We earne.stly' roiroinA the peace of the count abandon so degrading are wa-^iied in hi.s atoning blood, 12,—“I or thou also hast ■>\Toiigl,t lirist 1ms wrouglit all our works in gone before us to jiidgment; there- We only .stand acquitted in Christ elude from the above tliai. it tliat he knows it. Hear I.sa. all our works iii u.s.” So it C us it follows that our sms hau fore, they cannot loiiow aiicr for what he has done. According to tliis, salvation is by’ grace alone, and that through faith, and that not of ourselves, for it in the gift ol God; not of works lest any man should boast. See Eph. 2 : 8,—“For by grace ai-c ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselve.q it is the gift ol God.” Again,—all men have not feilh; so we conclude that a man cannot act that that he is not in possession of. Also Paul to thi Romans 4 : 2—G, -‘For if Abraham were justified liy w'oiks he hath whereof to glory, but not before God. For wliat saith the scripture? Abraham believed G-od. and it was counted unto liim for righteousness. Now to him that worketli, is the reward not reckoned of grace, but ofdcbt. But to him that workctii not, but belicveth on him that juslifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righleousness.’’ As some men’s sins go to jujgment beforehr.mi, also others will follow after them—to judgriiont—that is, their sins —so we learn that the sms of all Ili.s people have gone to judg ment, and they already stand acquitted in Christ; and will come with him to judge the world. BYr we learn that Christ will come to take vengeance upon the ungodly, for all llicir ungodly deeds which they liave daringly' commiUecI, for their sins follow them'to condemn them. I’or God will place his sheep on liis right hand and the goats on his lelt; and in a moment he will call up his saints to heaven,and send the wicked down to hell. Therefore we conclude that the judgment will bo general. For alb who are found in him lie knows, and v\'ill take them to the place he has [irejiared, to praise him through long eternity in the king dom of never fading glory. And all who are not ot him, he i\ill send down to burn in hell forever. May God help us to he found in him, that wo may hear the welcome plaudit, come ye up, ye bless ed of my IkUlier, inherit the kingdom prejiared for you ii-oiii the foundation vf the world.

Whereas, IVc learn a desire prevails amidst theiChurchesof the Salem Association to meet in one body', upon the former bunds ot union, and those only: Therefore, Resolved, That we (ilieerfiilly accept the kind tender of the Sa lem church for that desired object, at our annual time. Ami fur ther, we reooriiiiieiid tbe Churches to wait a general consummnia- tion of that union. 2. Whereas, Much «vil e.vists for want of strict Discipline, in many churches of ouii knowing, on the subjootof Temperance, Therefore: Resolved, That -we'^ecommend those churches of our body which have not pa.qjR^wSiqieKiTrce'reaolution.s, denying fcllowsliip to drinkoi's, maker.s and venders of ardent a|')ii'it.s; that they consid er the propriety of doing so immediately, for the cleansing of the churches from the iiiiliallovved intluence they exert upon the world, ling, who di.sregai’ds the warnings of God against the practice. Several churchea have passed such resolutions, and others de sign following; thus the coming generation may see wo wisli to serve God in sincerity, and not entail the dreadful evils of our day on them. 3.

As this is to be a Cirovilar, or family Letter, we will say some thing ccncerniiigour fiumly faith; that is, concerning the great Bap tist famil-y. to which we subscribe, is the doc trine o-f the general juxlgincnt. We do not wish to call this article into question, but to investigate it, and see how we all understand It in explanation. Now, if it be general, it cannot be particular. But is it not pmobahle that it will bo particular, from the reading of the following pa.ssages: Psa. 28 : 4, “Give them according to their deeds, and aceoriiing to the wickedness of their endeavors: give them after the work of their hand.s; render to them their de serts. Also, Jer. 25: 14, “I will recompense t:,em according to their deeds; and accordhigro the works ot their o\>i; hands. Paul to the Romans 2; 6,—‘'Who will render to every man according to his deeds.”' Again, 2nd Co.-., 5 : 10,—“For we must ail appear before thejiidgment seat ol Christ; that every one may reoeve the things done in his body, according to that he hath done whether it be good or liad.” And Ecol., 12: 14,—“For God shall bring every -ivoi'k into judgment with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” Now if salvation is to be obtained by tlie good works of men, the judgment will be particular; for if by' good deeds, of course, it will depend upon the number perfor med, and in that case our acts will all he recorded in a book, .and we vvill have to hear them read out at the last day. And if we have pei'fonned a little inoro good than evil, we will come off tri- unipharit,-u.uq by, we have done, finally get to heaven. But if we should fall iTi ai'i'Lrs, even but one crime, or sin, wo must sink down to hell forever; so we conclude if the final judgment bo particular, and we have to account tor our sins in the last day, one by one, that no flesh irnw be justified in His sight. Ill that sense we must understand the judgment day to last per haps a thousand years; for one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a th-iusanfriyears as one day. T’or it would take a Long time to read overall the acts of a congregated 'world, one at a time. But would not tliis be limiting the prescience ot God who sees and knows all things as though they were now' occurring with men; and thereby dishonor his character as an All wise Being? For there is nothing new with the Lord who tills vast space, which has Amount paid supply. o o o o o o o ir:) of ^ J -4- >> H ^ S. Worship. o M a o: SoliDoIaupon the Sabbath. Nil Institution contributes more to the jicace, prosper ity, morals, ami n-specta-r biiity of a comnuinity than ! its Sunday schools". The ' law can only punish, while! Sabbath schools p.revont ; crime. Colleges, Semina ries, and public schools, it i is true, onlighteii tlie mind and develojie mental genius; but the especial objects for the Sabbath school instrnc- : lion are the heart, the life, the destiny, the soul. ‘ The I yiatural demand of the soul fill' religiqn of some sort— ' i lo—is far greater than th. aspirations after fame oR I Wealth. A. liimi hcai't is'. ! more to be desired than a , wise head, where the two : qualities cannot be combin ed.

Not} ever, the family circle is so well calculated to improve thuilieai't of a child’ as th^ insti'uclions of the Sabbatffl school; for hero greatcra truths than ever jiaront ut-j tci'cd are taught, and the child leui'us what men never learned, “who is my neigh bor?” To a faithful teach er there is no more delight ful employ'meiit than to teach children—susceptible as they always are—the sim ple truths of the Bible; and when we contemplate the silent influence which these Sabbath school instructions have in fonniug the ctiarac- lerofnian or woman, the position becomes one of great importance and re sponsibility. - -- o S' --5 >.-? r: c3 ^ .—I CO 3 w w ^ I> THE -‘ORIAS. This is the ii.'imo of the chiiss which graduated at the rilt. Ilolyorke Female Seminary 18&5. This beautiful word is made up of inital letters of the sentence writ ten out is the following; ‘’0-ur R-est I-s A-bove.” The members of each class on leaving the Seminary organ ized themselves into a societj', under some appropriate name, as the one aboi'e given, and the society has lor the lending object of the org.anization a perpetuity to acquaintance among the memliers of the class, by re viving in various ivays old associations, andliy keeping fresh and strong the ties of affection in the sisterhood. About every other year they liave a “class-letter,” which contains a condensed report from every mem ber of the class. Every member receives a copy of this letter. The class numbers fifty-eiglit. Of these, two are under appointment as missionaries of the A- rnerican Board; thirty-one have been teaching the past year in different States ol the Union; one in Nova Scotia, and nine of ^ Devotion to Duty. Tlie following waif is- worthy of general accepta tion: he whose heart is through grace, right in the sight of the Lord, has great simplicity in his plan of life? “This one thing I do,” is his daily language, and that one thing is the will of oui" God. This principle of action is the noblest one that man can ado[)t. It makes him a laborer with God in the accomplishment of objects of surpassing magnitude. Look not mournfully into - the past—it cannot return; wisely improve the present —it is thine; go forth to meet the shadowy fear, and with a manly heart. A convention is to bo signed between the Sover eigns of the It'dlian States, with the exception of the King of Sardinia, toguaran tee each other ag-ainst revo lutionary attacks.
