j -'.arm stness makes prayer sincere,
; eeplab!e aud effectual. There arc
many prayers beautiful in fo an, ol-i
,uout in expression, ami mmied in
tone, that fall dead for the lack of liv
ing earnestness. IXrncstucss to pray
ers what life is to organix-d forms.
What is a tree, though it be perfect in
all or its parts, if it have not the cs
s..i,ti.d principle of life? It may have
its rods anchoring it fast to the earth, j
it may have a graceful trunk, ami
svmmetneal branches, jet without the
niv-Urious force called life, t!.. re will
be no living green, nor fragrant liow-
hoiiyhs. It merely Las the f-nu of a
tree, but it Jacks that ?ubt!o ti'''' l"'"'
which gives it beauty and value. L o'.:
noon a man from whom the life prin
ciple has j'ist lied. There is every or
gan, every member, every drop ft
blood, yet the body is not a man.
What was it thai made it a mau:
I: was the mysterious rinci; ie called
the life-force. This life force gave ac
tivity to the limbs, beauty (o the eye,
eloquence to the tongue, power to the
la aim and value to the man.
So i. ravers, destitute of the living
spirit of earnestness, however beauti
ful i-i form, are as d-ad iVe- u--d dead
,t. The rude Tartar pasts his pe
.ti'ions on a cylender which turns like
a mill-wheel in a running stream, and
goes about his business. As this
wheel tin us up his petitions in its rev
olutions to the eye of heaven, ho vain
lv thinks that is pi'ajh'g. How many
.rayeis .fata'!' performed are as
d- ad as the praying machine of the
Tartar. Cold, careless, fornial prayer
i
is the leather winged bat

Pi :v- er winged with earncstiKs and
faith is the royal eagle sealing far out
into the brightness of tie s-pirifual
w,,rld, where the perpetual summ-j j of
Divine Love reigns.

nor the spreading of the hand.-, nor

IV. Piitchard preached a sermon in
(he Baptist Church last Sunday night
on the ! cf infant baptism.
The test is found in Matthew xiii.
1.1. The Doctor thought (hat infant
baptism was not. merely a harmless
ceremony but post ively im Xmtis. He
then proceeded to .show the evils of in
fant baptism.
Pirst, he went on to show that cir
cumcision by which infants became
members of the Jewish Church fur
nished no j round for infant baptism.
For, as he argued, if you take one
thing from the Jewish Church you
must take all -such as the Union of
State ami church, the seventy elders,
sacrifices, Priestly robe, &.c.
It was s range that the 1 elor ec-uld
not t-eo that when the Jewish Church
blossomed out into the Christian di. -pcr.sation,
it dropped ail that was
useless, dofunctory, and preparatory
to the Gospel Church, and retained
only what was essential, permanent
and beneficial to the human race. The
chinch membership of infants intro
duced into the Jewish Church b a
special enactment of Cod through the
rife of circumcision is one or the cs
m. width mi sed out of the
Jewish iato the Christian church. The
shin- remains the srimo, (he mode of
a .v ......-t r. l...t
of circniucisicn (o that of baptism.
Tlie gospel church is a prolongation
t!f the Jewish, minis the ceremonial
riles. The preparatory chaff was
purged away and the wheat was gath
ered into ihe garner of the gospel
church. But the Docti r"s argument
tailed to discriminate but ween leaving
the chaff, which had sewed its par
pose in the growth, on the old thresh
ing lloor, and gathering the wheat
ihe spiritual good into the garner of
ilic gospel church. His argument
; """s
if we take am hung from the
Jewish Church, wo must, take all we
cannot take all; therefore, we must
leave all. That is to say, the farmer
must take all chaff, straw aud wheat
into the garner, or leave all on the
threshing lloor. But wise men have
discrimination enough to select what
is good aud useful, and leave what is
worn out and useless.
The . ':,d cri! was, that infant bap
tisni teaches bct lixmal tryrnrralfon. It
does not teach anything of the kind.
Some tf the churches graft this error
oil tiie act cl liiiaut uapusiu, uuu ia-
taut baptism in nseii noes hol iieoeo
surily teacli or involve it
The abuse of a thing is no argument
agah-.s'. its use. The Catholics teach
that the 'oread and wine of the com
munion are changed into the actual
jlcsh and blood of Jesus Christ. All
ProtcsUtuts believe this to be a gross
error. But according to Dr. Pritch-
RrU

that they are Christians when they
are net. We have never seen auy
persons who believed that they were
converted because baptized when in
fants. Ii" there are any, it is simply
an incidental error not a legitimate
consequence. There may bo persons
who b.iieve they are Christians be
cause taught in a Baptist Sunday
school, or imnicrt-fd iu the ilowing riv

j ' 1 .
; or doe! vallected 111 the stimucr scenes
of revivals, jet no christian philoso
pher could say that such self decep
tion is the IcijLliiniiii: fruit of these
things.
The fourth red is tha confusion in
fant baptism produces iu the churches.
The Doctor went on to show how
1
widely the Pcdo Baptist churches dif
fered iu their views of the design and
benciit.3 of this practice. But did this
, , r..v th 1 r.'d ol iufaut baptism? Xo
more than tne inherence of opinion
a noiitr too-1 men, as to the extent, the
elesigu and ben;lits of the atonement,
proves that it is a jr,;al red to the
w or d.
Tiic jifi k red of infant baptism i3
this: it erects an um-uirmountablo
barrier to the union of the (l.iptist and
Pedo Baptist churches. Close com
munion, as taught by the Baptist
church, erects a barrier also; therefore,
close communion is a great evil, Dr.
Pritehard being judge in the case.
But if this barrier was removed there
would be another put up by their
hands.
The .L-th ceil is: it s'.rikes at the
root of persomd liberty in cheosiug
the m. .-de of baptism. Ho does the
l.tiuilj- ami Sunday school trainiug of
the Baptist church, which moulds the
yielding minds of their children into
the cast iron belief that immersion is
the only christian baptism strike at
the root of personal liberty. Metho
dists and others baptize infants first,
and teach them afterwards that their
baptism is valid. Baptists teach their
children first that immersion oidu is
baptism, and baptize them afterwards.
There is as much personal liberty in
the one as iu the other case.
Still the Baptists elescant loudly on
personal liberty in religious things
given to their people. Their children
are Oee-hcc as water to roll down n
channel into which it is turned. Free
as a horse hitched to a vehicle with
strong lines upon him managed by n
driver bchiud go wherever lie pleas
es. But he is pie vied io go the road
the driver chooses.
We think the libeiiy of the Baptist
people in baptism :n.d communion is
verv much like thai, of the Irishman,
who said, he was ..,- J t-.: volun

The alliance is rin.p!y this. The
Catholic believe in, and practice in
fant baptism. The i'rob f !ant ( liurches
do thesame. The I i:; ii-t Chinch be
lieves that ir-peuiance, f.i'uh iu Christ,
and I-ai ti. m are m c. .-N-.iry to sa.lv. i ion.

The New York Jrdhodi.t pays the
following compliment to our church
It says:
Ail the iacls of the lea.-.a'it histoiy of
the Southern Mothodkt Church prove
that it recuperated rapidly, and is en
tering upon a prosperous career. The
author of the pri'poah roui phrase,
" disintegration and absorption of
Southern Methodism," lav; already
lived long enough to : ee its folly. IPs
police, h.i'I it i. cen adopted, would
have been uochrisiian, to begin with,
aud impracticable in any event. Most
happily, the Church never s: nctioncd
it, but sent its ministers to seek the
people who would receive them as
pastors, and who might through them
be built up in the Christian life. The
Southern Church has followed our
example anil has sent its ministers
Norfhward. Thii is right; let each
find its own. They have both the
same pttre doctrine, and both, we trn.ct,
maintain a wholesome discipline; lot
both then go on and prosper. In

The following is an extiact Iro n aa

Iu regard to the theme and diame

all the eloctaines that revolve aroim I,
anel all the duties that spring from it,
be fully set forth, with God's bleu -ing,
the results will justify Cow-per'a

calls fo? n rope, no officer charging a

seeking to save souls, or lead God'
people iu tho good fight of laith.sliould
aim at plainness, directness, perspic
uity like Mr. Spurgeou, for example.
Say no odd things but try so to put
the ordinary but saving truths of tho
gospel so that, to wo plain and yet
expressive terms, they may both tnU

'Ah, replied the olhor, 'it need a. I
