A hat j ever way he may turn, upon whatever path he may choose to travel, whatev er vocation he may choose to follow, he finds himself surrounded by diffi culties. Nature furnishes no one a soft-cushioned boat on which he may glide smoothly to the haven of success an.l happiness. Each man is equipped ultfes.

Difficult labor developes, and patient suffering rtiiiies man. The lire of the furnace, the hammer and the anvil make the polished sword, that wins the victory.

WHAT A t'OSTKAST. Our neiijhtiot;the Biblical llEeoimEi;, quotes a part of a communication from W. H. J.,' which we never read, and uniits the vciy iwtion of another ar ticle from the saire writer, ou which : our editorial was written, and then calls upon his readers to behold the contrast as to the spirit of the two writers. Why did not the llccorder give that part of W. H. J's articles, which de clared all other churches to be ' difor derbj societies,' &c., and then our re marks rebuking such bigoted assump tions ? Will the editor cf the liccurder favor us with an article on editorial respon- sibility, and the consequent obligation j baptism, they are carried to the Sun of editorial fairness ? j day school where it is dogmatically Personally, wc have nothing against j enforced, then to the pulpit whence ' W.

Wc hope that many of our preachers, who can, will be in at tendance. lie recently lectured in Virginia. The Baltimore Episcopal Methodic says: "Dr. Munsey's lecture was a grand success. It was dekvered before an immense audience of course, and twice the number might have been preseut at oO cents a head, but for want of room. He was. unusually animated, and after holding the vast assembly spell bound for the epace cf an hour and a quarter, the people shouted, Go on, go on!' until he was compelled to resume, and continued a quarter of an hour longer !

Wc picked up a track in a certain Church of this cily, entitled, Commun- Tho design of this tiact is to justify exclusive comm vi'un upoatue around that other Churches piacuce it. As it sets the Methodist Church in a wrong position on this question, we feci called upon to notice it. The impression sought to be made is, that the Methodist Church stands upon the same ground with the Baptist on the question of close communion. But the contrast is so clear and striking, that it is astonishing that any man of intel ligenee would make the assertion. The writer says: " Tho Methodists therefore practice close communion by restricting it to those who are admit ted into the church by brplifui." He then draws the conclusion that Meth odists are identical with the Baptists on the communion question. But where is the identity "? The Baptists admit iioua except members of their own church to the communion. They exclude all others. They make immersional baptism an absolute prerequisite to it. 1. The Methodists admit members of their own church, who have been or immersion. 2. They admit members of the Pres byterian, Episcopal, Lutheran and other denominations, who are in good bvterian, Episcopal, Lutheran anu ; I " . .1 t other denominations, who are in gooe, j st.mdiu in their respective churches, 3.

And though a man be as sound iu Scriptural doctrine as Paul, as zealous as Peter, and have the seraphic love and saintlv'uuiitv of John the Evan relist, still, if he be not a member of the Baptist church, he is peremptorily excluded from their communion.

In his sermon on baptism, llev. L. S. Bulkhead said: ' As no mode was specially pre scribed, the Methodists allowed the liberty of choice to their members.' i Co Lamenting on this massacre, the j Recorder of last week, says: How could he make- such a state- j meDt, when every body knows that j the poor little babies are carried to ; church and sprinkled without their consent, and then, when the' are grown and converted, baptism is de nied them if they desire it. Baptism is called 'the door of the church,' and the innocent babes are passed in be fore they are old enough to choose. Where is the liberty ot choice ?' The llccorder Knows that this state- meat of ihe preach- r was made in reference to adults, who have grown up without having been baptized in infancy, to all of whom the Methodist Church offers this liberty of choice. When baptized in infancy, it is the duty of parents to teach them that the mode in which they were baptized, is valid, just as Baptist parents teach successfully their children to believe j that no mode hut immersion is sciip- j tural. j The Methodists baptiz-.4, then I doctrinate, the Baptists indoctrinate , ana baptize tneir chik.reu aKerwards. j xne piacucai rt-suu is tne same iu ; ootn euurcues. ' Tho ioor little babies' of Baptist parents as soon as they can lisp, are taught in the family circle to believe that none but immersion is truly juponpiecepi. xntts the plastic nature j oi childhood is run into the iron i mould ot immersion, ard when they come out Gf inoud of Baptistic teaching, they take to much water, as naturally as young ducks. here is tlie liberty of choice V' Relioious Fun. We clip the follow ing item from the lid ij ions Herald: "Raleioh, N. C -We are having a lively time on the subject of baptism tine fun for the Baptists. T. H. PiUTCHAlU.." The above is a strange comment on j the solemn ordinance cl baptism. The Dr. treats the subject of baptism, by immersion of course, as he admits none other to be baptism, as a matter of fun. Is this the view of Baptis'a gen erally on immersional baptism ? If so how can the Dr. reprove the curvm wIid attend upon these occasions? When persons go to a funny place, they ought to be allowed to enjoy the fun. New Cluus.
