They elect or ap point evangelists, give a fixed salary. and keep them under the'control of the presbytery. This cuts off greed and monpy making. Why people will give liberally, to peripatetics and starve the faithful, toiling, earnest pastors is passing strange. Then some ( of the self-appointed evangelists are so im perative in their money seeking. We could turn on the light upon more than one. Then some are so coarse, vulgar, profane, .and even disgusting. All know how Sam Jones is given to this. So much so is he addicted tp very uncom mon ways and words that so fine an eccleciastlcal statesman, so excellent and able a writer, so learned and obser vant an editor as Rev. Dr. E. E. Hoss, of The Nashville Christian Advocate, is constrained to some plain, words "his language is plain" In noticing Sam Jones's receut visit to Nashville, hl fourth perhaps, where he preached and talked and abused for days. He concedes him a certain . ability great to attract, and usefulness, but he re gards "his religious teachings as radi cally defective." It is seen by all who have made any. thorough study the Bible and theology. Dr. Hoss says in his clear cut words of his religious teaching: i "It I does not and cannot touch the deepest springs of human nature. We must also repeat what we have said be fore, that many of Brother Jones's ut terances are -.not defensible. They would be improper in any man at any time or place, and are especially amen able to - criticism when spoken by a Christian minister from a pulpit. These words are not written in.lll temper. We wish that we could conscientiously refrain from writing them. To even seem to oppose a man who is engaged in Christian work 'is most disagreeable to our feelings. Yet we stand on our honest judgment, and do not hesitate to give expression tq our sober convic tions." We believe the Methodist General Conference . meets next year in .May. We do not know of as "good Bishop timber" in his church outside of the the episcopate, as Dr. Hoss presents. He is an unusually wise, able and well equipped divine, and sound to the core, we think, after a close reading of him for eighteen months. Sam Jones has been to .Wilmington twice. In all he preached some eighteen days perhaps. We would like some one to find out the number of profoundly pious, consecra ted Christians today In the city . who owe the beginning of their godly, re ligious, . useful and happy life to his preaching. Could ten be found? Could five? He probably received $3,000 or more for the two preaching visits.-J , J good reasons vrhy you t3 f should use "1 GOTTOLB There are none why you f UK UUUi hW The M. K.

A man who does not possess this "pearl of great price" Is not qualified to prp nounce upon the precious doctrine, fo true, so fundamental. The saintly bish nr. wrote: "Christian assurance is a humble, but firm sense of present t Ceptance with God In His Son Jesus Christ." He says of It that "in plain truth,' It has so much to do with our happiness, and therefore with our use fulness and our holiness, that, it may.be well for us to try "to think out, what It really means." He then discusses at length the objections to it, the true idea of it, the varieties of assurance and the testimony of Scrip ture. We have not space to follow him here In 'his lucid. Scriptural' discussion He again and again refers to this bksic THnHnl of Christian life. A minibter of the Gospel who is without this j as surance. is without the abiding pres- sence of Christ and the witness of the rpe-Mieratine Holy Spirit is to be in deed pitied. How can a preacher preach what he does hot know,; has not does not possess? There is a work Just issued that will be Interesting to tens of thousands in North Carolina. It is a handsome vol ume issued by Revell & Co., New York. It Is an autobiography and a life also of Rev. Dr. Charles F. Deems by his two gifted sons. We have not read it yet but hope to do so, and will then write of it. We knew the able. and elo quent Dr. Deems from 1847, to his death a few years ago, and After 1849, knew him very intimately. We once thought of writing to his sons giving some inter esting facts we were in possession of concerning their father, but put it oft until too late.

We doubt if one thological writer in a hun dred accepted it or enforced it. Now all schools teach it. Rev. Charles Spur- ultra Calvinist, teaches it, emphasizes it as strongly as any Armi- nian the Wesley s and John Fletcher, Clarke of the last century, or Pope, Summers, Foster or any Methodist standard authority of the present half century. It. is the word of God, the clear, the unmistakable doctrine of the Holy Scriptures. The following pas sages from the New Testament from Paul arid John are all sufficient: "The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God." Rom. 8:16. "And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father." Gal. 4:6. "If we receive the witness of men. the witness-of God is greater: for this is the witness of nod which be hath testified of His Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the 'witness in himself." 1 John 5:9:15. "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth In you?" ICor. 3:16. "Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ i nnne of His." Rom. 8:9. "Ye are the temple of the living God: and God kah mM.'t will dwell in them, and walk in them: and I will be their God and they shall be my people." II Cor. 6:16. A doctrine so plain, so clearly taught, so ' repeatedly enforced ought not to have been misunderstood, denied or avoided. When God- performs the most marvellous work for and in a great signer as to save him, he is "born airain" made 'a new creation Christ Jesus," an heir to Heaven, aj joint heir with Jesus Christ.

Editors Messenger: Permit me to express my apprecia tion of the article on .neglecting the salvation of Christ published in your weekly Issue of February 25 th. The topic is a timely one, since the Sunday schools of our land are at present en gaged In the study of the Acts of the Apostles, In which book we have the record of the doings of those who first taught the way of salvation to the Jews and Gentiles. If you will .grant the space, I should like to add. some thing a little more definite to the gen eral observations in that article, be lieving that he salvation of Christ is seldom set forth as clearly as it might be. A. careful study of the Acts of the Apostles will show that the Holy Spirit gave to the Apostles plain and definite instructions as to what sinners should' do in order to be saved, and that the Apostles were uniform in their direc tions to sinners seeking that Way. They faithfully abstained from any declaration of the matter, un'tU, ac cording to the promise of the Saviour, they were endowed with power from on high. This endowment or baptism of the holy spirit came on the day of Pen tecost, a shrot time after the ascen sion of Christ, when his followers were, by the gift of tongues aind other mirac ulous endowments duly qualified for the preaching of the gospel. On that day they answered the question, "What must we do?" as follows: "Repent and be baptized, every Jome of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remis sion of sins, etc." We infer that those people believed in the Saviour; before they made the inquiry, so faith must have been the first requisite to salva tion. It is stated in the continuation of the narrative in the second Chapter of the Acts that those who received the word were baptized, and in submitting to baptism they must have made a con fession of Christ. Thus it stands forth clear, that the steps taken there in or der to the remission of sins were four, viz: Faith, repentance, confession and baptism. Through faith, the hearts- of the converts were purified, (see Acts 15, 9) by repentance their characters were changed (see Isaiah 55, 9) by con fession, they made-use of the only name by which they could be saved (see Acts 4, 12) and by baptism they chang ed their allegiance from the wVwld to Christ, just as a foreigner by a definite act changes his citizenship from his former home to his new one. Chang ing the figure, this last was a symbol of the washing away of sins. (See Acts 22. 16.) It should be crearty understood that these four steps were necessary to the remission of past sins only. They are what might- be called first principles. As to the matter of final salvation, the Apostle Paul says, (see Heb. 6.): "Leaving therefore the principles of the gospel of Christ, left us go on' to perfection, etc. He upbraided some (Heb. 5, 12) because they had to be taught again first principles, instead of being teachers themselves. The Apostle Peter instructs Christians (see 2 Pet., 1) to add to faith virtue,, to vir tue knowledge; to knowledge temper ance; to temperance, patience; to pa tience, godliness; to godliness, broth erly kindn-ess; to brotherly kindness, love. He did not teaoh these things as things to be done by inquiring sininers. but by 'Christians who had already obeyed the .first principles of the gos pel of Christ. Lest it might be imagined that the setting forth of faith,- repentance, con fession and baptism as the first prin ciples of Christ is an unfounded as sumption, let us investigate, a little further. In the eighth chapter of Acts it it recorded of Philip, the evangelist that he went to Samaria and preached Christ. It is said, (see Acts 8, 12) "But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the gospel of Christ, th'ey were baptized, both men and women." Here the first and last only are mentioned, but as Simon, the corcerer, then gave up his old practice of sorcery, there must have befn re pentance on his part, if not on that of all, and as to confession, the inference is plain enough, when we read that Philip preached Christ to them, and if they believed and obeyed Christ : they must have confessed him. In the same chapter it is said of the Etbopian Eunuch, that he confessed in these words: "I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God," and was baptized. Here faith; confession and baptism are named, but repentance is lacking. This is no doubt explained by the fact that repentance need not be emphasized in his. case, as he was not guilty of the death of Christ, 'as the Jews on the day of Pentacost. As regards the conversion of Saul (see Asts 9, 22, and 25) the matter em phasized there is that he was baptized. He believed and confessed Christ when he said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? Ahd his subsequent writings fully attest the fact that he was re pentant. . In the case of the conversion of Cor nelius, after the Holy Ghost had fallen on him and his household, in order to convince the apostles that these Gen tiles had equal rights with them, it is said that Peter commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Here faith, repentance and confession are not mentioned, but as Peter preach ed ,Christ to! them. We must have de clared the whole counsel of God. Cer tainly they were not saved by baptism alone. Looking at these examples of con version, . can we not see a wide dif ference betiweein the preaching of these apostles aid that of modern evange lists? The apostles recognized first principles which saved men frofn the guilt of past sins, and in addition, cer tain requirements for those who had entered upon the Christian life. They never confused these matters. Sad to say, many successful (?) modern evan gelists are wresting the Word of God by setting before untaught and uncon verted sinners the requirements of the Christian, life, being ignorant them selves of the first principles of Christ, or so mingling their teaching of these that no hearer ever conies to a definite and clear understanding. There is much excellent Christian teaching to day, which, owing to the imperfect un derstanding of people on the subject; Is only a mass of generalities. . The Apostolic teaching was definite. We are living under the same dispensation as they; why not adopt their teaching verbatim et literatim and thus avoid the possibility of being wrong? Some may say that the changed condition's of civilization demand different meth ods of preaching; but I am ready to assert that the gospel of Christ , is adapted to all times and all conditions of civilization; that pentecostal results would still , follow pentacostal preach ing; that the simplicity of the gospel, free from 'all theological ! weights and obscurities is still capable of working wonders: and that sensationalism and questionable methods of interesting sinners, old and young, is an abomina tion, tat that it removes from men's sight the Christ, the founder, the great central figure of Christianity.

At the same time no reasonable person would expect that within five days from the time the flrs sample of Dr. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills was given out good effect would be gener ally manifest, as the very nature of kidney disease is such that a reason able amount of time and patience will be found necessary to test their real virtues.
