Wemust W, in order to do, and if we mistake his ' de Kjn,how. honest soever our intention may be, re shall not have fulfilled his command. 'If, on Ms memorable nighty when he" took of the Mast passover with his disciples, and when he insti tuted the breaking of bread as the ',. memorial of " Cinst our p assov er satisfied J. for us he . de Egnedto institute' the washing of feet as another religious rite till h 13 second . coming, together "with baptism and the breaking of bread ; then, Uiis institution should be observed with -punc- tHious - carefulness ; and ho .plea should be Emitted from thenegtect of it, to justify the neglect of any .other divine command.-; But if it wa3 the Saviour's design not to institute a re Egious ceremony for the observance" of his apos tles, but . to enjoin on them a' wholes class of serai duties of the very highest . importance, it would be a lamentable mistake, if we should salstitute for these duties a mere external rite, which he never meant to institute. " ' ,- To ascertain the Saviour's designs, let the fol lowing things be attentively considered. . ' 4 1. The particular duty enjoined is' moral, as distinguished from those which are positive. - 1 Baptismand the Lord's Supper are positive in- iStntes, because the obligation to observe "them could not be inferred from any utility of appar ent fitness In the things themselves.11: On the con tary, the washing of feet was not a mere ceremo ny, but a necessary act of hospitality which had lieen in use" since the davs of Abraham: Gen. xviii, 4 ; rix, and it is accordingly reckoned by the postle Paul," 1. Tim. v, 10, in connection with other moral duties . of like kind, as the proper foundation of a reputation for -good works. a Well reported of for good works, if she have lodged strangers, if she. have washed ' the saints' fiifshe have relieved the afflicted, if she dil gently followed every good work." - , It is the Utility of the act which gives it a place among &e good works here enumerated. In those days, when, traveling was so generally performed on foot, and when the feet were shod with mere Sffldals ; to wash the feet of the wayworn etran- was not a mere ceremony, but one of those "good works which ' are "'profitablo;unto men,'' ai to be maintained " for necessary: uses." Titus iL' 8, 14. ; 2. The example of the Saviour -recommends act on the ground of its utilityV ; it ; rr 'V hen Peter wished his hands and his headto hashed, JMesus said unto him,: He that is hashed needeth notsave'tOi wash'liis feet. -6 two words here rendered wash, are different 5 uie original, the former denoting a washing" of 1 ?"e whole body ; and the lattery which is the ard "xtsei elsewhere through out' the, narrative, partial washing as of the hands or:- feet. r -The is; he that has been bathed, : needs only to his feet," which may have been defiled in diking from the bath The apostles ' had hedj themselves V before "setting1 down ; to the j Paschal Supper f and. therefore did: not .need i j ,Dy washing except of ;fthefeetl ? bn this need, I i-all ai It may appe ir, the Savior placed the Pesa and '. propriety of the act which he per raed.

If I may not wash thy feet, (so the word .used here implies) I roay not, oh the same- ground, render to thee any "of the great benefits. resulting from my hu miliation, in 'which I come not th baTniriistfiferi unto, but to minister and to 'gave my life a ran som ifbr jnanyV A If Imajr; ,ndt perform to" thee acts of condescending 'Mndness, thou hast rio partith"meVAs in this declaration the wash ing of v Peter's ; feet i was; made hi the Savior a specimen .ana representative of all his acts of condescending kindness ; so, thd washing of feet enjoined upon" Voter nd his fellow4 apostles, was luwuuuu iu iuuiuuo aii tuu acts 01 conuesceuumg kindness which they couid perform toward their brethren " A new commandment I give, unto you, That ye love one another ; , as I have loved you,5 that ye alsocUove one another. By this shall all men know . thai ye are my disciples, if ye have love;one to another." Verses 34, 35. 4. It is an argument of weight against regard ing the washing of feetas a religious ceremony, instituted in .the Church,' that it does liot, like baptism and . the vLordV Supper typify .Christ., 'v v' ' r t .-The Lord's Suppe infta lively figure, shows from the death of Christ, and his baptism, his burial and resurrection,' These standing ordi-. nances"of the Christian?Chufch lead .' the mind directly to the great author of our salvation, and to the atoning sacrifice by which that salvation had been-'effected. - .Thcsd -ordinances teach us the grand doctrine of redemption,' in a language which infinite wisdom has invented , for the pur pose. .To"' this great, doctrine '.witnesses bear their lestimony in a voice long and loud, through all the revolutions of centuries, and all the'tu mults of heresy:' What does the' washing of feet teach us of Christ, or OfVedemption by him? Does it lead the believer away from himself, or all his own works of righteousness on v.which he must rely for salvation ? 1 It mights serve, as a religious rrite,.- to remind, those of a duty:io be performed, whose faith rests upon such duty for righteousness - to every' one that bclicveth of his sufferings and death as the means of salvation, it tells nothing;. t : 5. .The washing of feet was Jiot'-practiced as a religious rite by the primitive; Chaistians. That Baptism and the Lord's .Supper, were" so practiced, -we have tho clearest evidence, both from the Scriptures': and .the writings "of the Christian fathers ; but not sa with regard to the washing of : feet."' Jt is not necessary to pursue this subject beyond the clear light of Scriptures into-the comparatively dark field of investigation which Ecclesiastical history -'presents ;'as the testimony which this les3 satisfactory source'oT evidence affords' though entirely consistent with the testimony of Scripture, is not needed either for elucidation or confirmation. On opening the inspired history of the Church, we read at the very 8 beginning. " They " that 'gladly received the- word were baptized ; and they continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellow ship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. Baptism is frequently "mentioned -ia the subse quent history and in the twentieth chapter ninth terse, express mention is made that VThe disciples came together , to break bread.',. -But not a chapter, cot a verse, in all the Acts of the Apostles, " contains ' an intimation.-Tthat any Church', or any company of disciplesever as sembled to cslebrata- : the washing of feet. , In the Epistle to the Romans,(ch. ,6) a reference b made to baptism ; and an explanation given to its "import. - The first chapter ' of, the next Epistle, (the first. to the .Corinthians) .contains an. account of several baptisms ;'anti: the ele venth chapter," a very particular account . of )the institution of the Supper, ffudof abuses in its observance,, which ' had" already rept into the practice of the Church of Corinth' But in these Epistles, and all those which follow, no allusion whatever is found to the washing of feet as a rite observed, by the' Churches. ; - frl 3 There is indeed one passage, and only J one, in which the washing of th feet r 13 mentioned ; and this passage, 1 Tim. V, 10j furnishes deci sive proof that it was not practiced as a Church ordinance, ai were baptism and the Lord's Sap-T-r." To demonstrate this,-we have but to sub stitct'3 in the pasrp the mentlca cf tlos3 ac- knowl22"cl"crc.izincci ; and the.'ineor-ruity c! such c-:i-3Ct ::i ir tlt .Well reported cf fotgoo-I v ;r3 ; if t!i Lave brought up children, if she J have lodged stran gers, if she have been bar t'zed,1 or received the ford's Supper if she r, have diligentl followed QJCTJ good work. " As it m t be supposed of every widow in. the Church that , she had been baptiiod and received the" Lord's Supper ;. no ' if," with respect to these ordinances) could bo admitted ; nd; no one widow'couUbnaccount of her having observed them, bo more entitled to honor than ' any " othr.i The .same would have been true concerning lb e washing of feet, if this also had been a religious rite iu common use in the Churches and it jffQultj bav'h?en a,, mani fest absurdity .to;SUto the. fact of any church- mem Der caving penornieu tua; rite, as a reason for regarding him or her as specially cntitbd to. reputation for good wbrksj or, to honor from the Church. , - , y V.t't't T -'T - s. . There is, therefore, not only a total want of proof, that such, a religious rite was anciently observed, but there is, (what Jew .cases jn con troversy furnish), a proof of the. negative, which is as clear and satisfactory kas any proof can-be expected t.6 be. - " - . : - These considerations, show" clearly j that it was the Savior's design . to enforce a whole class' of moral duties, and not to' institute a religious cer emony,and ; that . he was so understood ' by his apostles. . IJo who washes the feet of . a" saint, when those feet do not need washing, is'-as if he ga,ve a cup of cold water to a disciple who is not thirsty. . He: may. indeed make a show" of yolun-; tary humility, but he ..docs not fulfil : the com mand of Christ, nor imitate his, example? He ought-to remember that Christ declined to wash the hands and head of Peter, not- because there would have been less show of humility in so do ingj but"bccause those pitrts 'did not need' wash iasi. "HeJ therefbreV who washes the feet' of ai saint when his feet do not need 'washing, instead of obeying or imitating Christ, does that which Christ refused to 4o: And ho who washes the feet of a saint," merely as it religious rite, withou t considering or caring whether, the act:, which he performs is necessary or useful, is just "as far as tne otner.irom lmiraimg or opeymg me xtcueem- Ifafter a careful consideration of tha s nb- ject we have satisfactorily ascertained that our - . .-. . .

From the Home and-Foreign Joutual J . . . . Sunday Schools in Country Clmrchcs-; 0BSEB.VANCE OF THE SABBATH SUPPLT OF MIX ' S' ' ' : ' lSTEUs " - In a former communication I urged the impor tance of c having a Sunday, School in every church, in order that ourchurch members might bo led to study the Bible more and might have the necessary - and healthful - spiritual exercise which is afforded by the effort to teach others the truths of the "gospel. The, importance of the subject leads meto ask attention to some othcr considerations. . '' A Sunday School in cv&ry church wcutd pro moU the' due oisercance cf the Lord's day . i It js" fast becoming a question, in this country wheth er we shall have a Sabbath or not. - The incrcas ingpres& and hurry of business in this busy land the lax views of the authority and sanctity of the Lord's day, inculcated by some dirinesthe sanctions already given by custom and public opinion, to large encroachments on its holy hours and,' above all, the influx of tens of thousands yearly, from lands where practically they havo no Sabbath are all tending to produce ;anegative answer to this most important question.. Against all these, and other allied influences . the friends of the Lord's day must contend. ( Yet who. that has thoughtfully read either history or scriptures, does not see that with" the Sabbath, and, iti ap propriate exercises of worship and instruction, the temporal as well as the spiritual welfare of our people is inseparably associated. The Sun day Schoolboth in town and country, is one of ioe most eiciens auxiliaries in xeauing men to remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.i .The first thing which strikes me . on witness ing a Sabbath School, is the : thought,i where would all these children and teachers be, if they were nothero ? Probably in profitless employ ment, if not in listless idleness, orsome , Ticious and corrupting association " It "is too much to presume, even cf all1 the professors cf 'religion amojigthem, that these hours would have 'been devoted to dilisfeat study of the Bible, or other religious reading" or, meditation. ; And cf thb", ir religious part cf.the assemblage, we might cafely ailrm, that a rumber would probably have been treab2 the Sabbath in some F way "or: other, a till l-rger part spending it to r.o profc, whifo a very all r. nmt would have been found in eci ibj to Gol and- useful to then- selves. The. temptations to Sabbath breaking in thel country are as numerous and-as strong-as those in a city; though" they:may;be 6rra ent character.- "The Sunday KchooV would be. a most valuable institution .if-it' elfcted -Holhinc Dut trie negative, good or Keeping . people.

The Saviour intended his children , to benot Thirty Day Baptists," as some Tone catabeto this boj we ought not to remain .'quiet and con tented under this state of things, as if it were all right, but should be striving, as far ard as fast as possible, to return, to the scripture model.- Vntil we do soin this respect our churches wiU nevcr acquire .their Jegitima t e strength, nor th e gos pel exercise fully its approp"riat& influbneo. JAnd what adds great importance to this thought is the fact tbst the ovcrwi aiming majority of Bap tist charehes areii tha co ;ri where this once-a-month "system is generally Kvalent.
