South at this time, I propose to write a brief article, not so much on the : general subject, as to Jpoint out par ticularly the different theories of in Upiration and to state what seems to me the true view of the'.matter. I have not had access to Lee, -Ban. nennan and Gaussen perhaps the .highest authorities : on the ' subject, Jtmt bave consulted Knapp,f BUI, Dick, Thorn well, Alexander, Mcll .vaine and A." A. Hodge, to . the last named of whom I ,am specially in-debted.;,:Jfi-j v.j;:-iTii;i J v." . . There are several theories of in spiration bothas, to its nature and extent. T I should haiy include M this catalogue 'the views .of the Ger man Strauss, and other infidels,' who hold that the Scriptures ; are merely a collection of pWhistorical tmytna. Nor even ; . the opinions of certain . transcendental philosophers, . repre sented by Morell in his "Philosophy of Religion," who teach that the in spiration of the sacred , writers was nothing more than an exaltation - of their ; -r vintui'tional ycbnscwusnesa,' that is, that this divine assistance took the place in them of great ge nius aad, goodness; and thus they have no other , authority over us . than as we feel them to be pre emi nently wise and good. ; Nor again, the view of Br.. Priest , ly, whicli admits that the sacred writers, were honest men and compe tent witnesses as to the. main1 facta they; record,? bit fallible i men and liable to err.; ' r'"' V : , I should not dignify either of these views as theories of inspiration at all, butr there are perhaps fonr theories which It may be profitable for us to consider. - The firat is that which confines the attribute of infallibility to the per sonal teachings of .Christ,' regarding the Apostles as highly competent though fallible reporters. The second is that held by the Quakers : and by Dr. Thomaa Ar nold, .of .Ru2by,.wbich. regards the inspiration of the Scriptures as only a pre-eminent degree of that spirit ual illumination; which,in a less de gree is common to all Christians. The third view, which admits that the inspiration of the sacred writers iendered them infallible in teaching religions and moral truth only, while, as to external ; facts of history and opinions as to science they were lia ble to err. i w-'- ' The fourth' theory, and that which seems to me to be the soundest and safest, is that which regards the in spiration of the Bible to be plenary! and secures for every part of it a belief in its infallibility, . . ; ': '.. V', iJfov let ns examiner these views briefly: i- - ;':.. .::;.. u ; The first we can .dismiss with a word, for if the Apostles, were! not ' inspired when they. say. they ? were, then their credibility is destroyed,' and .we lose faith in the greater part of the New Testament' v .' , s 'As regards thesecpnd theory, Drj A. Alexander, in ".Evidences of Christianity p; 223, distinguishes between inspiration and. spiritual il lumination thus: ; f'The, object of inspiration is commonly, to reveal some new truths, r it is intended to direct the mind in" a' supernatural way to write and speak certain thingii' and so superintends or ; strengthens its faculties that it is enabled to com municate ; with ' nnerring certainty truths' before unknown'; or . to form ideas and adopt expressions so sub lime as to be above the range of the natural powers' tf the person The illuminationxi the ;Holy Spiritfcpmi municatesno new truths, but enables the soul spiritually to . apprehend truths already revealed. -I Here, then; is that ; grand 'distinction between those Bpiritual Iiifluences Which all Christiansyenjoy,and;j enthusiasm which claims something of the nature of fiopirati6n.'DThe' ac'Chtisttaii' canappeat thebr4:6QV.a. containing all the ideas by which his mind is affected in its liighest eleva tions of joy and love but the enthu siast departs from the written Word and trusts to tapuJaes, impressions on the imanations, immediate 8og geationsjdrtams, or supposed yisions.

This is Dr.. Archibald Al exander's definition of inspiration. Dr. Hodge defines ' inspiration to be that divine influence which accom panying the sacred writers 'equally in all .they, wrote secured the In fallible ' truth of their writings in every part, both in idea and expres sion, and determined the selection and distribution of their material ac cording to the divine purpose. The nature ot this influence, just as the na ture of the divine operation npon the human soul in providence, regenera tion or in sahctification is of course entirely inscrutable. The result of this influence, nowever, is both plain and certain, viz:, to render their writings an infallible rule of faith and practice." ... This is what is known as ' plenary inspiration, and after all it seems to me to be the safest, most satisfacto ry, and most in accordance with the language of Petef when he says uThe Scriptnres came not by the will of man, but holy men of God wrote as they were moved by the Holy Ghost," or the words of Paul in which he states with emphasis that VAll Scripture was given by inspi ration of God.". This was the faith ot our Fathers, and I trust the day is far distant when their children will depart from this simple-hearted trust in the divinity ot the ; Word of , God. ; T.H.P. 3 AN EDITORIAL FAREWELL President D. J. Hill, of the .Univer sity at Lewisburg Pa., has furnished the National Baptist with an article on '"The Location of Colleges," in . which we . have the . statistics and linantiaL. condition of some : twen ty-four Colleges and Universities half of them r in cities and half in villages or rural districts. The Col leges in the larger cities with all their wealth of endowment, averaging nearly a million dollars each are far .behind the poorer Colleges 'pf, the ;couhtry, ' ; in ., , number .of ; students and influence. The nineteen Colleges at State capitols averaged about 59 students' eachj according' tbVthe Commissioners report for 1876. The Columbia , College, of New , York, with endowment of ever $4,500,000 had. 194 students. : while the New York University supported by. the State had 52 students , in the Colle- giate department. Johns Hopkin's University of Baltimore has $3,000, ow and student: ; Tiie College of Boston has $300,000 endowment and 50 students.' The University' in same :eity, .supported by theScate has 105 students. , The University of Cincinnati has $500,000 endow ment and 80 students." New Orleans La, has a CoUege and a University with "twelve students eachThe Oo luinbiah , University of Washington city has property valued at $700,000 and students.', -While the Univer sity f Va.; Washington and Lee,' jrnnceion, , xaie, narrard and other .institutions located in villages or in the country wjth Jtarless of endow-, .ment have lirge numbers of students and have educated . hundreds of :the most influential men;:of the country, president Hill assigns as a reason or .this the expense of living in the ies;and?adds:X; fPerhapa the. moat j vital; reason vrhy colleges cannot succeed in great cities is, that the busUe of city life i3 not in harmony with, the ends-and pursuits of general education a Pro fessional schools hardly ever thrive Well out of a, city, at least when far removed from a large population; The distinction ; between the proper surroundings for r the,- two t kinds of training is obviottsv .The professional student is 'preparing to meet and inanage men, and should, therefore, Mngle much with thenk The coll, gian ia attempting to train his own mental powers, and must begin in a jsolitnde that will laava him ''.inn a with ' himseif.'1 The- great .

Coleman, living as he does, hundreds of miles away ! from the' paper he edits, has done well, but he has at last found out that one man cannot do everything. "" Some of our Anti-mission preachers are marvels of energy and self-sacrifice. One of the ablest and T best of them, who follows some five'or six occupations, in a conversation with us, compared himself to a "leather-wing bat that had a hook at every point and could take holdwherever It got a chanoa Bro. Coleman is on this orderhe is pastor of nine chnrches editor of a paper and a farmer. -But, he . says: "Anl when Iretara home, feebl &nd mtvj aod flbd my littlo, poor orop soffeiing and almost rained for tb lack of aUentioB, and I not being able to alrike a blow, my heart and spirit aiaks deep in the aeaa of Sorrow . . . . . f , $eudea, I hara nine oongregationa thia year, J&oetl; poor, who are depending on me for ministerial aid and anocor.

' In conclusion I beg an interest in the prayers of all my Father's children.' ' Farewell, until we meet on Canaan's bright shores, where storms of malice never blows, and sorrows, never come. Again farewell. I have done all that I could.' Bro. Coleman has our sympathy. The Biblical Recorder has never taken much notice of ; the homicides and murders committed in the United States. A mere an noucement of such occurrences is more than the parties to such trans action, are - worth. The death of such bar room and still honae loafers is a relief ",to the country. When they get drunk and kill -each other no section of the land iihould be held responsible for it, or be regarded as wanting in order and civilization. To spread all the , particnlars of- such disgraceful people 'before the public or publish the. incidents 6f their trial and execution to the world is not only demoralizing but. a disgrace.., The country would lose nothing if there were no euch people in it. " ' W believe that the publication by the secular press,' of ell the particu lars of 1 the robberies and murders that are committed has added largely to the vice and demoralization of the ag, besides blunting the moral sensibilities and .vitiating t!he taste pi iue rising generauon., kS ? i.-.an u ( NO TES AftP, .
