It is not tions and their disposition to misoon. strue the plain language ot the Bible that first gave rise to a single doubt as to the fulness and plainness of the written word and of its power to lead and enlighten the mind of man. Oar most painful experiences came from hearing what were termed controver sial sermons. We shall never forget hearing a sermon or two on' baptism; One of these was .delivered by. a preacher, past.the middle of life, dis tinguished for his real and energy in his, chosen work, and widely known as an able defender of the faith of hispeopIerTo" our surprise he attempted to prove that Christ was kot baptized in any way; that if he was baptized at all it was with oil, and that immersion as a mode of baptism was never used in the first centuries of Christianity. We were not in any sense rivals, or in any way opposed to each other. He did not know of our presence among his. hearers, and was preaching to a congregation ot his own people. our ;. ..first trouble with doubt. . ; ' How could - a' christian, a minister of the gospel, so understand the scriptures i That he was con scientious we did not allow oorself to ' question. We could not think that a man who gave so. many evi dences of love for Christ and inter est in the'salvation ot his fellow' men could ' designedly i toisc6nstrue? the Scriptures. .We felt assured that by some strange mysterious process be misunderstood the' gospel he so zealonsly attempted to preach. From that day to tbi$ swe hay striven to understand how it is, and why it is that men do not' and cannot see eye to eye and agree as to the meaning of the words Jesus used, and cannot understand the simple transactions of our Lord's life, , To us the . mode of .his baptism is . as - plain as the manner : of his deaths We have no quarrel with those .who" differ from us.' We have been lead to be . , : - : .- - v. . 1;h . .... - :-. . he ve th at in . most cases m en have no control over their judgments in such matters: Solomon says, ''train up a child in the way he shonld go, and when be is old he will not de part from it. He might have said train up a child in the way he shonld go, and when he is old he cannot depart , from itJ It requires the strongest of personal influences, or a miracle of grace to turn a man from the principles implanted in his mind and heart when young. The child of the devout and conscientious Jew will walk in the footsteps of his fathers, raised and educated in shish to "flee from the presence of the Lord." ' ' ,.' . increased by tribntaries, and the cascade becomes a cataract, which nothing short of omnipotence can turn back upon itself. In a manner Bomewhat analogous, a little stream of opinion trickles down through two or three generations, -gathering as It goes ; it cuts oat a channel for itself through great intellectual rocks, which form walla on each" side, if such a figure may be allowed, and in the course or centuries, its course is as fixed at that of the Niagara River. The second cause we.assign is this : Moral, influences in human nature have the mastery of its Intellectual forces. : - When a man's feelings ; all tend in a certain direction, they carry ' his judgment, and all 'his mental powers, along with them. tie not only does not see what he does not wish to see but he cannot see it. He not only sees what he is detertnintd to see, but he cannot help seeing it, although it does not objectively ex ist. Subjectively it does exist; that is, to the man under illusion,1 it Is a reality. . or is this any rare thing. When a manV affections, prejudices and interests are all on one side of a question, it' would be surprising if "his judgement were not biased to that side. Especially is this the case when thousands or .millions of others advocate the same view, thns making it popularyand wlhen nVaby1 of its ad vocates, are wise, jand? good,; and learned men, thus relieving the or- dinary Ihlnkef from rre8pon8ibility and at the.same time supplying him wi thspecious : i reasons; ) fpr; his ;faith. .The dear minded thinkers may some f 1 mea h a ve misgivings, bd there are hooghof theni o iyide resojisi bility, ind to keep each other's cour age up. : At' change : of faith would almost destroy the man, and he will not allow,; himself to; thihk such thoughts as would lead to this result These two causes lie at the bottom of many religions errors, which," if they; were announced ; now for the first time, would be met with deris ion. The samef principles: apply to opinions which are not religions. NOTES AND COMMENTS. ' BYT. H. P.
