Vr. vi V. bv the Rev .Joshua J.

The great ardor of the speaker was evW jently consideraWy roused on this subject, from lie circumstance of ' his having just administered laptistn, by immersion, to three new members of lis prospering vnurcn. neasing ana Duoyant as his must have been to his feelings, he, neverthe less, performed all the duties and ceremonies of f; he day with that humility and apparent meek less of spirit which is characteristic of the devot ed Christian, v He took up the subject of baptism )y immersion, in that mild inoffensive way which , jnlisted and enchained the unbroken attention of us audience, of every denomination, during his ar gument of three hours and fifteen minutes' length, fo ttie feelings of those whose opinions conflicted ' with his own, the most profound regard was paid by the speaker, and such was its effect and influ- leiice, and was the manifest feelings of the congre gation at its separation, that the inference at least might be dravn, that an omen of better .times, if not general reconciliation, had began to dawn np- on the Christian people of Yancyville and its vici nity : and that this sermon might be looked to as an era in the annals of Christianity and as an eflort to conciliate and cultivate peace " and harmony with all those who love the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ, and hate sin and strife, s " " Upon the introduction of the subject to his hear ers, the Rev. gentleman proceeded to explain the meaning of the word baptism ; in doing which he referred to. and called to his assistance, "the writ ings and opinions of a large number of Pedo-bap- tiss, distinguished scientific gentleman, of ancien 1 . " " " I 1 " ' ' ! ana modern times, wnose opinions snouia weign a great'deal.on the sijbjecU Amongst the former he introduced the familiar name of Caly.mf and many others of equal distinctionfor piety and deep re search, into and after the things that pertain to religion and to God. This great man, Calvin, said, on a certain occasion, that the word bap tize signifies to immerse, and the right of immer sion was observed bythe ancient Churches. Mar tin Luther, an imperishable name among Chris tians says, " they ought to be completely im mersed, for the etymology of the word baptism evi dently requires it." Beza says, "Christ command ed us to be baptized, by which word it is certain immersion is signified. To be baptized in water, 1 signifies no other than to be immersed in water.! &anenius says, "ine proper signmcaiion oi oap . tize, is to immerse, plunge under, to overwhelm in water" Alstidius says,"" to baptize, signifies only to immerse, not to wash, except by consequence." 1 shall here close the listof the most ancient au thors referred to, and introduce a few, of a long string of names, of more modern times, also Pedo baptists. From Germany, the country in which science and literature shine in the most resplen- . dent lustre, the speaker quoted largely, an,d offer ed amongst a host of others, the following distin guished names, viz: Augusti, Brenner, Paulus, Rosenmuller, Bloomfield, &c &c. all of whom tes vtify, in the clearest manner, that immersion, or dipping, is the native and proper signification of the word baptize." Is it not strange that all the above authors; like many now among us, admit ted that immersion was baptism, and yet prac tised sprinkling for baptism. From numerous En glish Pedo-baptist writers the names ofDoctors Cave, Wall, Johnson, Chalmers, and sundry pror fessors, testifying to the same, were offered. The speaker here asked (if I comprehended him,) who, after listening to such a mass of testimony from men who have, at different periods, been viewed as great lights in the Christian world, Jbexng dis- j ttnguishcd alike for their scholarship and piety, and whose testimony, must be impartial, can entertain a doubt as to the meaning of the word which God has employed to express the ordinance, and yet a few American professors of Theology, with advantages quite limited when compared to those of the great names above, have taken upon themselves to assert that the word means to sprin kle. Whether their assertions should outweigh the testimony of abler and better informed men, is left for each one to determine. Feeling himself so well fortified with such powerful testimony, and bcin so well supported in his opinions by those of great and learned men, of other nations and countries, who have gone before him, and un derstanding that immersion was the practice of the whole Church for thirteen centuries, and the prac tice of the Greek Church now, and aided, as he . was, by the incontrovertible word of divine truth, which he had at command, and used; freely, well might the Rev. gentleman speak with that bold- riess which seemed to defy successful contradic- tkn to his well-established and deliberate opinions. His effort to prove that none but those who cvmence ot saving laiui m vuiiai. jects of baptism, was able, powerful, and I,ikru many unpreiuaicea minus, u wcaicw j the kingdom of God itself.

Let such take care how they tamper with the sacred ordinance of God, and remember that when our blessed Saviour was baptized, and came upj straigntway out ot the water, indecent as it may appear to the vulgar mind, the solemn act was sanctioned and sealed by an acclamation from Hea ven, from the Father himself, proclaiming in a voice well understood, and that too in the face of all the world, that " this ismy beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

Wirr- ced the ground, and then'scraping out the earth wun ine stumps of his bands, he would da?p the banana or taro plant, place it in th.e hole, hnf then fill in tbe earth. The weeds ho pulled i)1inr same way. In reply to his salutation, I asked him what he knew of the word of ralvation lle an? swered, w I know about Jesut Christ, who came in to the world to save sinners." ' On ' inquiriig what he knew of Jesus Christ, he replied w I know mai ne is the &on of Uod, and that he died nam- fully upon.tha cross, lo pay for the tans of men, iu uruer uiai xneir souis mignt be sated, and go to happiness in the skies." I inquired of him if all the people went to heaven after death.

' 0 xc" he said, . 44 1 very frequently pray as I . weed my ground and plant my food, but always three times a day, beside praying with my family every mor ning and 'evening." I asked him what he said when he prayed He answered: 44 1 ray, 0 Lord, I am a great sinner, may Jesus take my sins away by his good blood, give me the righte ousness of Jesus to adorn me, and and give me the good Spirit of Jesus to instruct me, and make my heart good, to make me a man of Jesus, and take me to heaven when I die." 44 Well," I replied, "that Buteve, is very excellent, but where did you obtain your knowledge 1" From you, to be Yes, I admit it the church is the judpe of con- trovcrics 'uJIcx ccntroim iarun. But what is Xhfi church i It is not the Clergy, it is not the Coun cils, still less is it the Pope.

If animals have the instinct which leads them not to eat that which is injurious to them, we cannot do less than allow the Christian this instinct, or ra ther, this intellijence, which emanates from the virtue of the Holy Spirit. Every Christian, (the wora aeciares 11,1 is cauca upon to rrjccx -every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come m the flesh," (1 John ir. 1 5) And this is what is essentially meant, when it is said that the church is the jvibe of all controversies ! " xes, 1 believe and confess it, there is an au thority in the church, and without authority the church cannot stand. But where is it to be found Is it with him, w hoever he may be, that has the external consecration, whether he pos sesses or not theological guts, whether he has re ceived or not grace and justification Rome her self docs not yet pretend that orders save and sanc tify.
