The trial of i verv iue raciuc. v. e Foreknowledge A Question. At the request of a correspondent, we somu weeks ago gave our views of God's foreknowledge, in part as follows : The full and absolute fcrknowledge of God is very plainly revealed in the Bible, and r.e,need not enter into argument to prove it y we may assume it as granted. True, t'aere are some who adopt Dr. A. Clarke's theorv, that the omniscience of I, God is like His omnipotence : that He may exert it or not, as Ho chooses ; and that there are many things which He chooses not to foreknow. But the majority of J thinking men believe this view to be un j sound, for the reasons given by Mr. Wai json; that toe choice of an intelligent be I sag in'i.-t rest nr.on a reason ; that the rca- : son imi-i have r' ference to the things in j reference to which cho choice is made; jar.dthat then-fore, to assume that God I chooses not to foreknow some things, is to , .urant that lie does foreknow all things, : because the act of choosing implies the j foreknowledge. Hence, for oursclf, at j least, we admit that God's knowledge of j fuiu.e events is us absolute as His knowi j edge of past events." j Several communications have been cli cited, evincing more interest in the subi.ect i than we had anttcip hut, se tV'y weic I without sigjature, we paid no attention to j them. The following is from a worthy member of our church, whose object we ' believe is simply to arrive at the truth : " Bug. Heflix : The reading of some of your remarks, in a recent No. of the N. C. C. Advocate, on the foreknowledge i of God, has induced me to ask your opin i ion of the following passage of Scripture, viz.: 'And it repented the Lord that he had made man upon the earth, and it trrieved Him at His heart.' Gen. vi. G. is not to be overthrown by a random inter pretation of an occasional mysteriou3 and isolated passage of Scripture. These views have been hastily thrown on paper, while the printer is waiting, and may not be very clearly expressed, or satisfactory to those who have elicited them. But we believe they will be kindly received and carefully weighed. If any man flatly deny the fore knowledge of Gcd, we could easily throw questions before him which would raise insuperable difficulties in the way of his theory. But questions of this sort are not susceptible of the clearness aud solution which belong to the more practical teach ings of the Gospel ; and an extended dk eussion of them would be neither interest ing nor profitable it isj X con-1 Encouraging.

As we read the name, j we remember to have become familiar with , it at the bottom of revival notices. j Hut to the letter: it tells us very plainly what to do with the gold dollars; and then I it hath the following for the special en-: couragement of the Editor : ! " I consider the North Carolina Chris- ; tian Advocate the best reliyi'tus paper we have. It is just such a pi per as I have j long wished for, to advance the interests I of conscience eviction cf guilt not ato iS".:.:nr v:- t. liemorse being victioO., i; he r-, -cd of following punish ment, not the p'uishment itself.
