Jl' jlin: I continue in this, the evidence afforded in fit. Matthew, of the d K-trine u'ider consideration. As il lustrative of th i .receding parable, and a farther coiiliiii ation of the exposition which 1 hav fcubiiiitted, the following anecdote will be very appropriate. "B-tw:ci two Christians at Antioch mniity and di vi ion had fallen out. After a whil-; one of them desired to be recon ciled, but the ot'hcr, who was a priest, re fused. Vt'hiii: it vra3 thus with them, the persecution of Valerian bepran; and H:ip ricius, the prie-t, having boldly confessed himself a Christian, was on the way to dcah. Nicephorus met liim and again fuel fur peacv, which was again refused. "While he was seeking and the other refus ing, they arrive d at the place of execution, lie that should have been the martyr was here terrified, offered to sacrifice to the g.-Kl?', and de pite the entreaties of the other did making shipwreck of his faith : while Niccphonis, boldly confessing, step ped in his pl.t '0, and received the crown which Hapi'n ius h.-.t. This whole story runs finely parallel with our parable." Trench on the 1 'arables. Note, p. 137. Tliis .story is taken, by Trench, from the Kcehvtasiical History by Flewry, V. 2, p. . IV. The Bubble of the Ten Virgins. Matt. xxv. 1-10. This parahhi hr.tlj illustrates my sub ject, and incidentally gives all its force this way. This will be manifest, if we censid.-r the f II owing particulars. As 1. Thesf? persons were denominated A'irgins."

These pvtons are alo distinguished nsTtvl Chri.-ii .'iis iivm the consideration that all of '.hoist had had their "lamps" lighted. This is rot disputed with regard to the il Cve wise vir-ins." As it respects u fV.ii-" it. is clearlv indicated in what is said iti verse S, where it is aliinncd that their iait.1.3 v.cve " going out. This is the true rendering, as every critic must . iiut not withstanding tnese " Cve fool ish" ones, Lal otK-o enjoyed the comforts of the Holy Ghost, they were not permit ted to enter into the heavenly kingdom, whore the Bridegroom and Bride are to dwell together ft rover. Matt. xxv. 11-13. 4. Viewed ia this light, and so it seems to me it must be viewed, to harmonize with itself and, with the general character of divine revelation, this parable lends its entire weight ia sr.pj ci t of the doctrinal views contemplated in these numbers. Let us thea pay in the language of Augustine ia or.e of his sermons upon this parable: " Now we labor, and our lamps fluctuate auicrg the gusts and temptations ef the present wold ; but only let us give heed that cur feme burn in such strength, that he winds of temptation may rather fan the fhimc than extinguish it." In Trench on the Parr, lies, pp.' 210, 217- V. The P.;rabicof the Talents, clearly cont-'niph-.tes toe sentiments, w ich this investigath -n is intended to evince. This will be appannt from the following consi derations: 1. To cik'n was given such a measure of grsee er talent as he was capable of im proving to his Lord's honor and his own good. Malt. xsv. 15. 2. To each was there time and opportu nity allowed, to make the necessary im provement, which should insure final suc cess. IMatt. xxv. 10-1S. 3. The one who received but " one tal ent," dispossessed himself of his talent by "digging in the earth, and hiding his lord's money :" and thus rendering it im possible to make the improvements that were necessary to his final success. .Matt, xxr. IS, 21-27. 4. Therefore, his lord commanded that the original talent which had been given him, (in like manner as the others had re ceived theirs.) should he " taken from him, and be given unto him which had tea tal ents." Matt. xxv. 28. And 5. As a final result of this whole case, and ia direct pr of of final apostacy, this servant is " east into outer darkness : there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth :" a sure proof, demonstrating the utter de etruetion of the final apostate forever. Matt. xxv. 30. The same testimonies which we find in Marthew are also found in Mark and Luke. Lu':e, however, adds one on the pounds, chipter xix. 11-27, which in its general principles, clearly sustains the doctrine of the possibility if final apostacy.

John xv. 1-11. ! ted at a college under the control of The design of this parable evidently is, anotj;er denomination than the Metho to point out the connection between the ; (li,t anJ j h.Q Wn ed Uj gee Great Head of the ( nureh, and the mem-; resdt3 of these influences hers thereof ; and the oependenee : of the ; latter upon the former, for vitality ami ; . 0 fruitfulrcm: as also th3 necessity of eon- j y connection witb,College, there were tinual obedience, and the danger of diso-, bedience. Viewed in this light, it fur- nishes us with a very strong proof of the doctrine of cur proposition. This will ap pear in the following instances : 1. The "branches" denote genuine : Christians. These " branches Christ at- j firms, were in him. Verse 5 2. He affirms of them, that they were i , in a renewc'i conuuion. iienau cioausca j 1 T." IT 1 1 1 .1 : them himself by his word erse -j. He affirms tne necessity of a contin ual communion between himself and them, to render them fruitful ; versed; and that ! this fruitfulness could only continue while they continued in union with him ; as that 1 secured to them, continual communion of nourishing raee. Verse 5. 4. lie affirms the possibility of these branches becoming so separated from him, the true vine, as to endanger their salva tion, and of their final rejection by the husbandman. erse 0. 5. He affirms, that as the inevitable re sult of this sanaration and reiection, that they would be cast into perdition and lost without a possibility of their recovery. Verse 0. C. The obiect contemplated by Christ is, to prevent such an apostacy, and induce them to be practically observant of his laws; as by so doing only, could they ex pect to continue to be his discipks, and enjoy the fulness of joy which obedience would ensure. Verses 811. 7. From these considerations, we are fully warranted in the conclusion, that the apostacy of the saints is fearfully possible. How uj-.mj thcia.noiats.are iathis para-j bio ! !

I look upon this, as the most iai- portant step to our churches particular- I ij in KjLatc, mat ims ueen agitatea ; for many years. It is doubtlessly, the ; movement ot the present time ; to which ; all of us must look with anxious solici j tude. I will first give some reasons, n-Jii a Methodist College should be es tablishcd: and then speak of the abili I ty of cur church in this State to cstab- Ush one. j It is of the greatest importance to our j church, that we should provide against exposing 3"oung men ot Methodist pa rents, and Methodist connections, to any influences prejudicial to the inter ests and prosperity of our church, and this canr.ot be done, without a literary institution thoroughly Methodistieal in all its" surroundings, where they will be thoroughly indoctrinated with all the tenets, usages and government of not; brethren come to her rescue ? will the church ; where they will not hear J they not arouse to this important sub it evilly spoken of; nor hear it saidjjcct- Will not our next Conference, that the zeal and fervor with which we i so soon to meet, take some decided step worship is fanaticism, that our "doc- in this vitally important movement ? trines encourage falling from grace," j1- of course will not presume to recoru that Ave have an uneducated, ignorant ; mend any particular course, I leave ministry, that the poor and unlettered ! that for the wiser, more experienced ; of each community constitute our mem-1 ut I most earnestly hope that some bership,and that the Methodists in JVorf tuing ys' he done to cure the canker Carolina are so indifferent to the cause of education as never to have taken any steps to provide themselves with a col lege. All such things are spoken of by young men of other denominations while at college, and they have a pow erful influence to drive many a youn man, brought up under Methodist influ enen5. frnm out ln,r.V, t.i : ,i,,n -a l,.,. t -r a due time navp npenmo o iortn,i,i.t :r - - -... v. m MXLbUVUll; 11 we had a college.

Hence if ana oetter men they are, just greater is the inSuence usually exerted, the zenoro-:.?, flexible min is of younz 1 ten young men among us siuuenis wno j were members of the Methodist Church, .when they entered college.

Not that I love my Alma Mater le.3, but that I love my church the more. My friendship and gratitude to its Profc5sors,my confidence in their purity, piety, and ability, is not less than if they had been Mcthodist3. And the religious impressions of a majority of college-educated young men are received while they are at col lege. Very many are converted there, and as is most natural for the young convert, he feels (as he should feel) a deep gratitude to those among whom he was converted, and in most instances joins their church. And having joined the church at college, aftor-he goes home to his Methodist parents, even if he should desire to become a Methodist, steD. because of the probability of im- pairing his usefulness' by so doing, and though a Methodist at heart, he lives to ,nve i,13 mlluence to anotner uenoiu- iaati0n. ortli Carolina 13 now awake upon , cf e(jucation ; if tce do not , , ? our n mcn others will, who , nr,mv t;ons for ;t. f have preparations for it, for the parents of young men m our church,wno arc aoie to'fiveVneir sons the advantage of a college education, are determined to do j , . ; so, even if they are compelled to send them to Presbyterian or Baptist Insti tutions.

J-.-iey Know any j other policy would be ruinous to the i prosperity of their State, j We ought also to look to cur aliUty 1 to establish such a college, as would be j a blessing and honor to the church and j State, for all things that are needful an.is p)rac:icaoie. in my opinion our ability is even greater than our need. Of this we find the proof, in the liberal support which our nume rous female colleges in the State have received. The support given by Meth odists to other male colleges" in the State and out of it, is amply sufficient for the support of one of their own. We doubt no", if we had a college, that the tuition foes alone would liberally pay the Professors. Are not brethren will ing to heal the wounds of our beloved church, by which she is drained grad ually but continually of her very life blood, d rained of those who would become her bishops, her ministers, her pillars in the next generation ? The consequences will be alarming1. Will that is consuming the vitals of the Methodist Church. J. II. S. South Lowell, N. C. Death fsom Bckxixg.
