PRIAOHED AT THE DEDICATION OF TBE NEW

J. A. BTRADLEY, AND PUBLISHED BY REQUEST
OT THE CHURCH.
Text-"And of Zion it shall, be said. This and
that man was born In her." Psalm 87; o. ;
L The church is Gol's own institution.
1. May it not be said that it is God's only
institution t God eeemp to have given di
rections for the framing of the Jewish na
tional government, Before and since then,
governments have been formed according to
the wishes or wisdom of men. God has left
men to form republics and monarchies (ab
solute or limited), while he has bestowed his
wisdom, care and love on his own institu
tion, the church. Human organizations may
flourish and the world be helped but little
they may fail, and not much evil follows ;
but by the church the world is to be helped,
3. Pod intends the church to meet all the
r J i icial, intellectual and spiritual heeds
-A i litu that cannot ha and in not fna-
,(,rei t Christian church degenerates into
iaffl
7. Each church should be a teach
' tern of morality in the community
jjjre ;t i loca ted. None but Christians are
(ot c rch-members. There can be no
ristianity without pure morality.
A true church, on account of her own pu
rity, is the best teacher of morality. An
cient philosophers taught systems of moral
ity that contained much that was good and
beautiful, but they also contained much that
was false and corrupting. God intends the
cnurcn to meet the moral needs of mankind.
They can be fully met from no other source.
.God has invested the church- With power
to meet tbe social needs of mankind. We
are made to be social to enjoy each other's
society. The purest social circles are those
that are pervaded by a genuine Christianity,
unnsuanity is not intended to . be a stern,
repulsive, selfish thing; but genial, pleasant,
attractive. It is to be social, f o as to draw.
pleasej purify and elevate others; AH .need
ed sociability can be enj jyed under the care
ana coniroi or. cnurcnes. ' .
tiod intends the church to meet the Intel
lectual needs of mankind. God has endowed
man with the highest intellectual powers;
capable or almost unlimited development.
From this it may be argued, that he intended
these powers to be cultivated under the best
innnences. lie Has not left a transcendently
important work to be done by incompetent
workmen. rure, true intellectual culture,
can only, be eiven by Christian teachers.
Everything in the universe that the human
mind can comprehend is the work of God.
No one is fit to teach who does not recognize
this fact. God intends to be glorified, not
only by Christianity, put by all that is in
me pnysicai ana mental wona. All teacn
ins should be given under christian in flu
ences. Nearly all schools in Christian lands
are conducted under this influence. No
thoughtful parent would be willing to edu
catea child under ungodly, especially infi
del teachers. It is apparent then, that the
cnurcn can only fully meet man's inteliec
tnal needs. . - . J;
God intends the church to meet man's
spiritual needs, aian is. pre eminently a
spiritual being. It is his spiritual nature
that lifts him above all other created things.
It makes him immortal, and capable of the
noblest destiny., Man cannot teacn what he
does not know. An ungodly man cannot
teach godliness. The church is the only
truly spiritual organization, therefore it
alone can meet man's spiritual needs. The
command to preach the gospel to all the
world is given to the church, not to societies.
God has made the church to do tha work of
universal evangelization.' - -
8. To do this great work the church nas
withstood all the changes of time. For six
thousand years various organizations nave
arisen, flourished and failed, but the church
nas stood and strengthened, wicked men
have combined to overthrow the church.
Voltaire said he was tired of hearing that
twelve men couia esiaoiisn mrisuaniiy in
the world: and he would show that one man
could overthrow it. . But be soon found he
needed help, and associated other infidels
with him. i heir watch word was, "Urush
the wretch." meaning Jesus. But the scheme
of these infidels has failed, and Christianity
lives with ever growing power. The church
nas withstood ail the assaults or the Devil;
a.ni it shall stand. Dan. 2: 44. Matt 16: 18.
4. All civilization, elevation, refinement
and salvation comes through the church. '
Civilization, in its bet sense, can only be
reached under gospel influences. To realize
this, compare a christianized with tbe best
of uochristianized nations. , '
Nothing but Christianity .can take a man
corrupted, degraded and fallen by sin, and
elevate him to purity and nobility of charac
ter here, and give him citizenship in heaven,
and make him an "heir of God and a joint
heir with Jesus TJhnst," : . ' s
The whole tendency of sin is to make men
worldly, sensual, devilish, rough, uncouth.
But Christianity changes the vilest and
roughest into pure, gentle, refined beings.
Christianity is the highest type of etiquette.
; - All men are born sinners. As such they
are lost, ruined, helpless, hopeless. r God
has made it the mission of the church to
bring salvation , to these ruined ones. He
has commissioned no other organization to
do this work. It is by the agency of the
church that the ' kingdoms of this world are
to become the kingdoms of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ."
So God has invested the church with
powers to rdeet all the higher and most im
portant demands of mankind. It, therefore,
towers in grand importance above all other
organizations. "Glorious things are spoken
ox inee, ucny oi uoa. rs. ei: a. seeaiso
Isaiah, chapter 60. .
II. God has designed ' Zion as the birth-
place of his people : " This and that man was
born in her."
1. It is a remarkable fact that nearly all
Christians have been brought to the "new
birth" in direct connection with church
work. I once asked all in a congregation.
who were satisfied they were Christians and
who had been led to conversion by church-
work, to stand and be counted : 101 stood. .
Then all who had been converted separate
from chnrch work were asked to stand: two
arose. One of these told me afterwards that
she was convicted under a sermon preached
at church ; so 102. were born in Zion, and one
elsewhere. , y.'-r,' , ' '1 1
t 2. Persons can only' be born into the
church by the spiritual birth. , " Except a
man be born again, he cannot see the king
dom of God." " That which is born of the
flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the
spirit is spirit' John, third chapter,
But right in the face of these plain Bible
teachings, there are those who teach that
children are born in the covenant are born
holy, and therefore are fit for baptism and
church membership. There are some who
will receive into their churches those who
are avowedly nnregenerate. Some claim
that persons are made Christians by baptism.
Campbellites teach that immersion is the
finishing act of, salvation. '' In catechisms
people are taught that infant baptism made
them Christians. Proof: " What is your
name! Answer. My name is N. or M. Who
gave you this name? Answer. My sponsors
in baptism; wherein I was made a member
of Christ, the child of God, and an inheritor
of the kingdom of heaven.? Some believe
that confirmation makes them church mem
bers. ' Many teach, and thousands believe,
that Christianity consists in simply resolving
to live better lives and joining the church.
But all who are in the church except by the
spiritual birth are resting upon a deceptive
and false foundation. It will fail them when
the test comes.
, 2. Let preachers remember that the grand
est work on earth is to lead souls to be born
in Zion. - Let them not leave this highest
work, and condescend to the low Work of
drawing crowds pleasing the people be
ing popular. , - -;
Let your church in all her workin pray
er meeting, Sunday-school,-preaching, &c,
keep your God -given work constantly in
view, namely, the work of leading souls to
be born, in Zion. And may God' grant that
within this house, built for his worship,
thousands of souls may experience the new
birth and rise to the Mt Zion above. -
III. God will make an individual exami
nation of church members:
" This and that man was born in her"
V When he writeth up the people"--When
he comes to see what each has done, or left
undone. Each Christian will be examined
as though there was no other Christian, or
worker. God has assigned to each of you
work to da He will come to see if you have
done it, left it undone, or turned it over to
others to do. t But we notice, ;
1. That ' many professed Christians do
hot realize their individual responsibility to
God, They claim to be glad that religious
work is going on, but they take but little or
no part in it. Ask one, 44 Does your church
keep up a prayer-meeting I" " Yes we have
a prayer-meeting; and they say it is a very
good one. I do-not attend it often. It is
held at a time that does not suit me very
well. I have business, or society meetings
claiming my attention at that time. Iam
sorry I cannot attend. " But the brethren
keep up a good prayer meeting, I hope it
Is doing much good." ,w
Ask another, V Does your church have a
Sunday school ri " o, yes, of course we do.
They say it is one of the best" "Do you
attend it, and help to keep it up!" "Well
no-Idont go often. I have to work
all the week and when Sunday comes I am
tired, and want to sleep some, 1 am so busy
all the week, that I am obliged to attend to
some little business matters on -j- Sunday.
Then, too, that is the only day I can spare
to visit my relatives and neighbors, and
talk with them about our worldly affairs.
But if nothing else was in my way. I live
two or three miles away from church, and
you know that is too far to go." ' "Does
your church have regular preaching I" "Yes,
certainly. We would . not think of doing
without a preacher.'! "Do you attend his
ministry and help pay him !" "I go some-
times, when I am not too busy, or tired, or
have no company, or am not obliged to at
tend some society meeting. I sometimes
say the preacher something when I have a
ittle money I can spare, v Times are hard.
taxes art high and I can't pay much, but
our church pays our preacher well." Ask
about all kinds of church work, 'and there
are Borne ready to say: 44 Yes, our church is
working along all these lines,"; while they,
themselves are doing nothing, or according
to their opportunities the same as nothing.
When God comes to 44 write up the people,",
such persons will 'not get credit for what
others have done. Each one will have to
give an account of ; himself to God." Your
reward will be according to your work, not
the work of others.'
2. God will examine individuals . as con
nected with Zion, and not as connected with
human societies. All the Christian work
they do, ought to be done by the church,
God's institution. He has instituted the
church as the agency by which all Christian
work pught to be done. Let the church be
made what it .can be, what it ought to be,
what God intended it to be. and we need no
other societies to do Christian work. If the
work given to societies, were given to the
church, God would be better pleased, and
more good would be done. . God will ex
amine church, not society work.
8. In God s individual examination he will
love each person he finds to. have been born
in Zion. He will love them because they
have believed, loved, and obeyed him, land
are in his institution to carry on" its blessed
work of saving the world. , .
4.' God will notice the individual agency
by which his people were brought ; to the
new birth. ; Have you, has vour church,
your Sunday-school been . instrumental in
bringing souls to Christ t ; In all your Chris
tian work, as individuals and as a church,
let your one great aim be to bring souls to
be bora in zion. . This is the church's God-
given work. V The church alone can doit
It is the grandest of all work. ; . i ; 7
in this house, which to-day we dedicate
to the service of Almighty God, may it be
found, when he " writeth up the people,"
that 44 this and that man was .born in her."
Three things to govern temper, tongue,
and conduct. -
- Predestination.
Is predestination taught in the Bible f Did
God actually choose some of his creatures to
salvation before the foundation of the world.
and leave others to perish in their sins ? Elec
tion is defined to be God'e choice in the ex
ercise of his sovereign grace of some men.
or a part of the human race, to salvation by
Jesus Christ 44 Chosen in Christ " and "cho
sen to salvation" are expressions often met
with m the .New Testament Scriptures.
They are designated as vessels of mercy ore-
pared unto glory. The three views called
supralapsarian, the sublapsarian, and the
Armenian theory cannot all be correct Both
the supralapsarians and the sublapsarians
agree as to uoa s purpose in his uncondi
tionally choosing some to eternal life and
dooming others according to their ill deserts
in everlasting misery, which Is opposed to
the Armenian theory, which claims that
whatever Uod has decreed respecting his in
telligent creatures, is founded on foreseen
goodness in his chosen. -.- :
The question with us is, whether or not
uod's holy and inscrutible sovereignty, which
he has made known in his works of creation,
providence and redemption, forms the basis
of his action t It is agreed that love reigned
in the heart of the saviour and actuated him
in the arduous work committed to him in
bringing men in contact with the insulted
Deity in which he should 44 see of the travail
of his soul and be satisfied." Love to our
fallen race, love the ruling passion, in antici
pation of his coming sorrows could sar. 44 1
have a baptism to be baptized with, and how
am 1 straitened taut be accomplished," and
to silence anything of a boasting spirit in his
disciples, reminds them: 44 Ye have not cho
sen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained
you, that you should go and bring forth
fruit" So far from being chosen on the
ground of any ' moral qualification or fore
seen goodness, he assured them that his love
was antecedent to theirs. Instead of their
first loving him, he first loved them ; for,
says the inspired Apostle, 44 we love him,
because he first loved us,1? "he having pre
destinated us unto the adoption of children
by Jesus Christ, according to the good pleas
ure of his will" not predestinated on ac
count of good in us, but "according to the
good pleasure of his will." ' True, the death
of -Christ opens the door of hope to Adam's
race. Many will not avail themselves of the
benefits of his atonement, however the seri-
Ana iAtlaipatirtn i -Brill rif tnvna (a ma

that ye might have life"; then again, 44 No
man can come to me, except the Father
which bath sent me draw him," All men
will not be saved, but the redeemed will be
numerous enough to give the Son Of man
the most exulting triumph over his malig
nant enemies and satisfy him for all his hu
miliation, shame and agonies of his incarna
tion and death; all that the Father hath
given him he will bring with him. The ac
tual purpose of the cross is to save that part
of the human race embraced in the covenant
They are saved by 4 4 grace." Faith, around
which other Christian graces cluster and be
gets love, is the gift of God. The office of
the Holy Spirit is to carry on the work
Uhrist came to do jor the elect Jt is he who
applies tbe benefits of Christ's purchase by
teaching and guiding them (John 14: 26), by
convincing and reproving them of sin (John
16 : 7,) by renewing and sanctifying their
souls (Tit. 3: S, and 1 Pet 1: 2), and by
mortifying sin in them (Bom. 8: 13). He
leads them, mortifies sin in them, gives
faith, inspires hope. . . -

Who is Servant?
I have been very much mortified by a num
ber of unpleasant communications which
have appeared in our denominational papers
recently. I am none the less ashamed that
Jama Baptist, but I am pained, grieved
and bored that Baptists' are pleased to lay
aside their' legitimate occupation in order
that selfish ends may be materialized.
I would not be misunderstood. I would
not add one particle of mist to the already
hickening fog. I have never yet taken my
pen in nana 10 enier me vanea contests 01
my brethren through the 44 public prints." I
have never felt an appetite for such food,
but it seems to me that I would not be true
to myself and my churches if I'fai) to make
this inquiry now. Therefore, I ask 44 Who
is servant?" ' -
I notice that one of Our leading Southern
lights at the Southern Baptist Convention
claimed as the reason for failure ajong Cen
tennial lines, 44 the want of organization
among Baptists." I admit the claim in one
sense, but I do not admit it in Us entirety.
There is no need of denying facts of any
kind. Those who do so only 44 kick against
the pricks','' and weaken their own cause, i
' We have organization, if I understand the.
definition of the term, but is it the duty of the
organization to compel confidence on the
part of all our people? Whenever there has
been ah effort, made to organize some new
machinery for advancing denominational
work, Invariably should a cautious brother
venture to oppose centralization of, or fed
eral, power, he has been silenced by the
same utterance, "The Boards and their Sec
retaries are the servants of the churches, or
brethren, and therefore you have a right at
any time to ask; or demand, an insight into
their works.? On many occasions, cautious,
consecrated, God fearing men have with
drawn their opposition and quieted their
fears by .believing that such would be the
case.' ' . ..
Now, candidly, to all parties concerned,
has such a course always been? pursued by
the organized powers after the power was
conferred ? ; Have they always shown a dis
position to serve the wishes of the brethren?
Have they, on the other band, ever mani
fested a spirit to compel the bretbrento
serve their wishes? .
How many men composing the different
Boards with their officers in our Conven
tion work, are superior to mistakes? Leav
Ing these questions to be answered in the
consciences of those concerned, we again re
peat the question, "Who is servant ?"
A soldier, who having the battles to fight,
aireaay oearmg scars, remmas 01 lormer
skirmishes), when there are no big guns to
frighten by their thunders at his back, but a
foe in every bush and behind every hedge to
encounter him and bushwhackers following
in his rear to demolish the little success and
enterprise accompliished, has a right, an
undeniable . right, to ask whose orders ho
shall obey. ,
v Every unselfish member of the churches
composing the Baptist State Convention of
North Carolina would appreciate organiza
tion of such a nature as to double, yes, quad
ruple, the work of the Board of Missions and
Sunday-schools. Still they are manly or
foolish enough to believe that there are
rights belonging to the churches and asso
ciations. ' And as they created the Boards,
the Boards should show them some respect.
I have had some hard fights in my own, ,
as well as other, associations, to keep the re
lationship existing between the Boards ahd
themselves as of former years. "There is
dissatisfaction," and lots of it, 44 existing all
over "the State among the churches." We
cannot deny.Jt We cannot persuade our
selves to the contrary. Then let us turn our
attention to channels in which we may re
move this unpleasantness instead of creating
more of it
: I believe that if the brethren would pray .
more that the Holy Spirit, would guide the' '
Boards and. their officers aright in all de
partments of the work, that there would be
less friction and need: of criticism. I am.
persuaded, ori the other hand, that-tould
the Secretary, with others, realize more
clearly that they are the occupants of places
of confidence and trust conferred upon them
by the brethren as a proof of confidence and
trust, and therefore that every reasonable
request should receive a courteous and faith
ful reply either by letter, verbally, or through
the Biblical Recorder, which is 44 the or
gan of North Carolina Baptists," that their
skirts would be clear from much cause of
complaint .
We claim as our motto, 44 North Carolina
for Jesus." I feel, sometimes, that we for
get it, and therefore drop the name of Jesus,
and in its stead place the name of some poor,
frail, feeble, selfish man. Certainly, it would
be a position to be envied for even the great
est and best among us the great hosts of
our people gathering every word and ges
lure, obeying every mandate, gratifying ev
ery desire, following without question one
man; but we have ever preached and striven
against such things in others, and we cannot
consistently go back on our teachings, how
ever much we might desire so to do.
Just at this point, the mail comes, and ,
with it a number of tracts from Brother C.
Durham. ; Perhaps they will answer the
auestion. Let us see. Well, I have only
me to glance at the title, 44 Our Board and
its Work, 18301893." If the contents set
tles the question, I am done, if not, I shall
probably come again for information as to -.
44 Who is servant?"
