J. W. Perry, kf Bidge Spring, 8. C, on the "Law of Christian Forgiveness text, Eph.' 4: S2, "And.be ye' kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one; another, even as God for Christ's sake bath for ftiven vou.nT" T":l--l ti: t This sermon I, thought at the time, and still think, is open to criticism; and Hence 1 was not mucn jsurprisea to see In the Recorder of Aug. 1st an article from that vigoroas' thinker and writer,' pOr. ; C Tyree, of Salem, Va;,'. on, the ;Bame subject, squarely antagonizing the poeiuoa ,reacueu oy.jDro, rwfj.t.r. Tyree in r his article, certainly, gave particulars, " but for some reason Bro, Terry did not notice them, tin a recent communicatiorjrtrr" the: Recorder I took occasion io remark, after a com plimentary reference to BrowlP,'," that his sermon above alluded to would not stand the test of Scriptural analysis. In .the last Kb cord er ne takes occasion to call' me " your Theological Regulator, (the. types make him say "Regutat ion." though of course that is a misprint), and after some, other rather caustic refer ences 'to my manner of criticism, calls on me to " give rjarticnlan n and to show the falsity of any or every prop osition laid down In the sermon in qo.es- tion," ;;: ; H g WMmlai ; ow I proeeed to gratify &e brother, disclaiming however . any authority to consider myself the .theological regu-. lator! of the Recorder, and assuring him ;that. after the, .partieolara are given, his promise - Uy be there, is aboat a open to criticism on the score of its classic or theological eonnection, as the sermon nnder consideration, j If the brother will suffer a word of exhor tation I would add, "Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it c&i aiiitsMuU ..L The brother's interpretation of the text selected is, 1 think, faulty.. In fact his style of speaking is rather ex cathedra.'. i Admit that the U reek word feUAosssedi ;in this verse has reference to God's man 'uer of forgiving, is it not trne that God's: manner is best exhibited In. bis seeking the sinner and leading him by his Spirit to seek ' pardon . and forgiveness If after man - fell God had fallen back on bis dignity and Hjt man to his baroness I, !of heart and impenitency of souL what j; would have become of the human race? Even ungodly 'men can and do eheeri fully forgive an enemy wAn. he repents ; but the gospel of Christ, goes further and teaches us to loVe Our enemies, pray for them, &c. ; Will the brother turn to MattjS; 4348 and read carefully What ;he finds there, and then tell me how can a man do all that the Saviour thus) commands still cherishing toward those? of whom hffepeaks -e ; unforgiving1 i spirit f uan a man tove anotnex and not forgive him! Do .not the words "even as " refer to God's method 'as well as to hk manner of forgiving f i This Ibelkve the brother admits, but he looses sight of the fact that the Lord is continually; seeking, calling the impenitent, man ta come to him for life, for recosiciliat.ion.' One would certainly infer from the doc- trine of his ' sermon; that the .Christian should neither i forgive his enemy nor, make any effort toward reconciliation after it is a settled fact that another his enemy.'il! f.'&&is&&y:&&. 4iw 2. The hrother,'! thmk,' fails to give Christ's langoage found in Matt.' 18: 15 17 its proper apphoation.- Moreover if thy brother shall - trespass -' against thee,' &c, evidently, applies more specifically to' difficulties i between pro fessed Christians of the same' (local) ebureh - or: ; congregation, j Very often' ungodly men will give the Chrisdatr offense; In that ease the matter cannot be settled as above directed The case cannot be brought : before-' the'ehuteh' for' final adjudication; i-Then, laeeord5 ing to the brother's reasoning, there can! be no recOnoiliatian and no forgiveness unless "the ungodly v marl comes and uakes proper -confession Bupposelhe) refuses to do this; then that man dies without! your forgiveness.

The passage In the- sermon thatp I most earnestly object ta is! as follows? "But if the man falls to bring fortS Irnlts meet for repentance) if he eta b bornly persists in his WTong after you have exhausted the5 Scriptural method of bringing bim to repentance, ?what thent ! I answer; you must not forgixi him." Ah I my brother my- nerves are good, but I fear that - my hand would tremble if I were Umpted to write those words and make that sentence a part of my explanation of the "Law of Christian Forgiveness." -We ought to be extremely careful how w frame Bible doctrine; and, in the languaf-a of Dr. Tyree,: the position "that Christ in every ease makes repentance on the part cf -an enemy-the conditioa cf. t'j being lor given by those whom he has' wronged; La fonght with immense mischief among onr people." One of 'the sublinsest things Christ said oh the or oss - was; Father forgive them ;" for they kn&W not what they do," but how , are the beauty and pathos of this passage less ened, fcy the brother's comment,- epeak ing of Christ's - and Stephen's '-'.'dying prayers for their enemies, 7hea they rrayea icr lz.9 icrivcr:EL3 cf the;r t-a L.;ca they ty lm: :m, i;:jz 1 fzr their rej entar ?3."- ,"Ltnze c:i tha brclher Llia tV 't ltcf i..:;r. --i".:it Itist.rlly 1 "..a tLt r.I c!
