U , ' Dear Bbetdrex i--The time is' dos at urhn wo f-s-rvoi- to meet in General - Conference j I, therefore, in pursuance of an appointment, must proceed to discharge the duty of writing the present Circular. As having been left to choose the subject on Mhich to write, I therefore cite attention to the middle clause of .the 29th verse of the first chapter of our Lord's Gospel, recorded by John, whicji are as follows Behold tlte Lw of God.?' Ihm scrip" ure seems to have been sp..keirin confversation with sorher that had been snt to John to enquire, " Who art thou !" y him. They from the fact that mighty works was 'performed having doubtless some doubts or misapprehension in iregard to hijinianl said, Is, he' ther thai. tlie. person and true character of John, they asked why Baptisest if thou be not that Christ, nor Eliii Prophet. John told them that he himself Bantisld with water. but that Christ should Baptise them with the. I with h re. these things were done where John The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him a Iv vaS tl Ghost and baptising. sajyeth, Be. hold the Lamb of God. It seems that we shall b ledifrom the subject tospeak. in regard to the ordinances of the Ilouse of God, for we perceive that the Saviour, in coming to Jol n at (that time, was intending to confirm, at that time, one of the grandl ordinan ces that he would have his followers observe in Lite world, for ' wheni he demanded Baptissi at the hands of his fo'-eruntner. John, ' hie refused and aid,'I have need to be Bapti&ed of theej and com ek thou to me 1 Jesus sayeth sulfor it to be so now, for thus it ; bccoineth us to fulfill all righteousness, then he Vmvred jtim ; "and hi'iici we c!aim from the authority of His Word, thai all those that would be His disciples should. in the first pla ;e aftjer having repented of heir sins and received the adoption jilts grace, should be willing to receive this Baptism as beilia one of the or dinalices of j Nis House and the fulfilling of 'Ilis Commandmerits, which I believe i? generally admitted by all denoihiiiatjiohs, that it should be administered as an initiating right iu IIs militant kingdom. TheIquestion then arises, in what way slubujld the or-, dmance of Baptism be administered 1 And in the text jda'ce, who ap the proper subjects for receiving this ordinance ? ! jVo would just in a word say, that thq way that -Christ was Baptised is the jay j that all true believers of the me k and lowly Lnimb of God Mic.uld be willing to receive the n' dinance. But siys one, if you will satisfy mo what was the mode by which Christ was Baptis ed,.! will submit. Here I wouhlj quote the text, Bdhold the Lamb' of God. See Him comin-j to II13 servant to where the re was much water to fulfill all righteousness. Time and space will not , a low me to; treat upon the subject of Baptism as I i Would like ' but must at once say, that we beli ive that Christ anl.allj Apostle-? v,6rc Baptised by immersion, and. we contend still fof that mode, and jentreat jail fol lowers -to; a fait: iful examination of tihi Word of C od. In the next place, we will make some brief reijnqtrks in re tgtrd to whoj arc proper subjects f r I the admiius ratibn of this .ordinance, j We notice on. the day of : pentccost, v hen j there was a number added to the Church in one day that.i ti that number . they all believed and were Baptised, and the Ph'ih jiaii jj.ailor and his house. believed, And when the eunuch said to F hi Hip, see here h much water, .w hat hinders me ;'rom being Baptised?! Hear the reply to this question. If thou belicvcst with all I hyj icart, thou, mayest, and Liddy and her hoii 3 believed ; and, ina' word, we find no passage in regard to this subject, but whit believing 'in the Son of God must be manifest, and then they that believe arc fit subjects for this ordinance and none olhej-?,. and immersion, or being buried with Christ in Baptism, is the only Apostiolic mode a id hence, in discharging this ordinance, we behohi tbej Lamb of Clod. But this is not the only o dinanc.e. The S; criiipcnt of the I,ord's Supper is undisputed as lein an ordinanc ; pf 'the. House of God. jye are told. 'in His Word in regard to t nisi case by the Lamb of God Himself: Siys lie, this do in reiher ibrance of me, and as oft as you do this, ye do show my death add sufferings till I come; but we conclude that the Sacrament was only instituted for Baptised believers and none others. But we fmWt pass 011 briefly. Some contends that j the two ordinances, already men tioned, is all that is enjoined on the followers of .Christ. endeavcr to show that there is one other, yet a!tlif;u!h . been; practiced but very seldom since my recollection ; upon this last circumstance as being enjoined tipoa us hs much as the Sacrament. ' Feet washing or washing onbtpnotjiers feet is ' the next and last circumstance that we shall menaioh. j Read the 13th chapter of John's gospel j for the testimony,! whejre ho says, he ris'eth from supper and laid aside his garments find took a towel and girded himself; after that jho poureth water tittoja; basin and began to Iwash the Disciples f;et and to wipe liiemi with the towel. Then in the 14th verse, he says : If I thertyojur Lord and Master have washed 1 your feet, ye also ought o wash one ans others feet. I believe it is gererally given up thai this should be practiced! but differ in what capacity it shouhUjelpejifiirmcd. I, , for one, believe it should bf attended to in public hssjo 11 blics ; for we are commanded that which we have heard in jseerec that pro claim upon the housd top. The servant is not ireatp than his master, nor the disciple above his Lord. If ye khv these things happy are you if ye do them, for I the Lord havfe given you an example that ye should do as I have done to ybu. And now, dearly beloved in the Lord, I pray you search th(j Sriptares, for ip them ye think you have eternal life, and theyl are they that testify of nie. I commend you all to the (3 race off God, and may His blessings rest upon us all" while ve sojourn Here. May His Spirit rest upon us and guide and direct us ihrojugh all our tra vails in this world, and at last guide U3 ?afe hoirfe to our resting places injthe presence of Ilim that has loved us land given him self for us. May the C race ot Uod be wth us hill ; sake. Amen. " I JOHN IL TAYLOR. We shall it has not uind I look a' ts 2 r-. ri ! C3. r "J 1.

There dwelt in Piedmont a rich nota ry, whose only child a boy of fifteen, had a ft.'cble intellect. The notary died, and in his will gave orders that this child, named Bmtucio, should inherit his whple property, to come into po-session at the age of thirty ; and that at the age; of twer.ty-lfive, he s-houlJ receive three huiK dred ducats, to be employed in. merchant disc or other business, as should seem good to him. : i When Burtueio had reached this age, he demanded of. his; mother, who was his guardian, a hundred ducats, winch ; ?he gave him, charging him to employ t,hent well. lie then started on his journey, and meeting a robber, who ihad killecf a merchant, and was still piercing him with his dagger, his pity; was moved, and; he exclaimed : " Oh, sir, what are you doing Do you not see that the mail is dead already V' To which the robber, his hands drip ping with blood, replied : . '-'Go away from j here, for your own good. Pass on your; own way, 'or -worse will happen you." j j "Oh, spare the poor body!" cried Burtueio. " Sir, will! you not sell it to me? I will pay ybu for it in money- all you ask." " What will you give?" asked the rob ber. . j 'Fifty ducats,' said Burtueio. "That is too little,"' said the robber. 'The-bodyii worth ;more. But if you will give me eighty ducats, you can have it.' . : ' ; Burtueio coun'ed out the money ; then lifting the dead body on his shoulders, young princess was to bo given in mar liagc. 'He- 'immediately st out on' his' way to Navarre. But his horse was a worn-out jade,, so fleshiess that his bones might have been counted through his tkin.

I went toj the railroad, depot , with a enrriage next night, and whon i was on my way honio wiih my aunt, saklr , "My dear aunt, there is one rather noying iiifirinity that Annie (my wifv) has which I forgot to mention before.

'I have done well,' he said; for yess terday I gained your soui and mine, so that when they leave the body they will go straight to Paradise.' He then told her all. Hearing which, the mother was troubled and bitterly re' gretted her son's foolishness. It was not long : before ho demanded of his mother the remainder of the three hundred ducats left him by his father. She gave it to him saying, "Here, lake your moneys and do the woist you can with it. You will break . my heart !" . 1 " Oh, mother, do not be angry. I hope to do so well with it that you will be ens tirely satisfied." Thus saying, ho bade her farewell, and departed. Having entered a large forest, he met there two soldiers who had car ried off Torquinia, only daughter of the King of Navarre. . They were in great dispute as to which should have her as a wife, when Burtueio said to them : "What arc you doing, my friends? Would you kill each other for. this young ; girl 1 coase your quarrel, and give her to me. I will satisfy you." . At these wjrds, the soldiers, putting an end to, their stiife-demanded of him what he would give for her. ; 'Two hundred ducats,' he answered. At that offer, the' soldiers who knew not that the young girl was a princess, delivered her to Burtucip, took the mo-- ney, and divided it between them. Delighted with hi beautiful merchan dise, Burtueio-returned to his mother, to whom- he said : i , "Mother, you cantiot now. complain that 1 hate not spent my money well, for I have brought -you this charming girl, who will keep you company." The mother was more displeased than before, and to'.d her son.that he was the disgrace and ruin of the bouse, and she wished hi m a hundred feet under the ground ; but the young man bore all pa tiently, and tried to comfort her. ? The King of Navarre made great search everywhere for the recovery of his lost daughter, and at last heaid that she was m the house of Burtueio. lie there fore sent to demand her, and Burtueio delivered her up. Before leaving she told him privately that when the time came that she should ba given in man l iage shev wished him to present himself among her suitors, with his hand to his head, that; thereby she jnight easily re cognize him, when, in gratitude for all he .had done for her, she Vouid choosj him for her husband. - Many months pacd away.
