It is thus described : to bap tize is, to come upon, Act-, 1, h; to shed forth, Acts, -1, Z-'; to fall upon, Acts, 11, 15; to pour out, Acts, L', 17, 10, 45. That is, in this baptism the race of the Holy Ghost comes upon, falls upon, is shed forth, is poured out, namely on the Eoul. This is the account the Uibie -ives of the (Drignml. For the X. C.

They say unto Him, We are able. Matt. 20 : '11. Mtrk 1U : 38. T-.uk o 12: 50. Here it ia evident that the term baptism is used to sifnifv sufferinirs and not immersion. t. jaul tells us that the children of Israel j were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud j knd in the sea, and Moses informs us that ! they all went through the midst ot the sea on dry ground, ilxo. 14 : 10. Hence it is evident that the Israelites were not immersed, but were baptized by a mist from the cloud, and the spray from the walls of water which were on their right Ijand and on their left. Men of erudition and gigantic intellect say, that at this dis tance of time it is impossible to determine what the ancient mode of baptism was, but pigmy minds are as confident that im mersion was the primitive mode as if they had actually seen John and the apostles plunge the people. jSTow, I will give the reader a real case which happened in the ttate of Virgiuia. There wis i errro who manifested a de sire for the salvation of his soul, who often heard from the pulpit baptism by immer sion urged upon the people, in a manner which led him to believe immersion essen tial to salvation. He said, " Them preach ers say, a leetle water sprinkled or poured uron do head ob no value. Much water wash away de sin." From their manner pf preaching on baptism he received these ideas and imbibed their crude and singu lar notions upon the subject. Soon after he was thus proselyted, he was plunged, and when he came up out of the water, he exclaimed, " Thauky God, I got out my last row at last." The poor fellow's occu pation in crop time was that of hoeing corn, and when he finished his last row in liying it by, he exulted because that work was done; and so, when he came out of the water, he exulted because he now be lieved his sins were all washed away and his spiritual field laid by. Xow, if he had been taught to embrace the wisdom from above, instead of the water system, it would hve revealed to him an unclean heart, overrun with noxious weeds, the sight of which would have convinced him thet Tater is too dull a tool to uproot and destroy such weeds. My design in relating this case, is to show the danger of urging a mere unsettled, disputable mode, as if it was absolutely necessary to salvation. In my extensive travels, I saw not a few be ginners in religion driven back to Egypt to feed upon their old leeks and onions, by the preaching of water baptism and the urging of immersion as the ouly mode. Although Christ has given us a number of precepts and examples, yet I do not re member of one solitary case of his urging modes upon his vast and numerous audi tories, but his principal doctrine was, "Ex cept ye repent, ye gljalj aU likewise perish, and except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." Unessential modes and forms seem to be adapted to fanciful minds and nominal Christians. " Many of modes have made their boast, Of modes an idol made : The spirit in the hitter ioit, The substance ia the shade." Outward baptism was used by the apos tles as an initiating rite into the Church of God, and the application of water to .the subject of baptism was the external sign or seal oi the baptismal consecration. Is it not; therefore evident that a small quantity of water answers the purpose for , a sign, just as well as a large quantity ? Fcr it must be granted that there is no , more virtue in baptismal water than there was in the clay with which Christ anointed the eyes of the blind man. Again, bap tisin i? vsed by inspired writers as an em- woul d fcurpoM; that some people would have learned tre this that North Carolinians j knew something of thfrir rights, and were'; not afraid to assert them ; but .some people ! hat-; to acknowledge that they y t wi.-dom. J I.-avirj these things 6 ride, have wc- aj destiny above that we have enjoyed he: e- j tofore '. I suppose a higher destination j awaits our patriotic, pious, energetic ac- tion. It is unnecessary to throw a retro-! r-pective glance over the paths we have ; trod, but Jet the eye dart over the wide-; spread fields lying out in inviting gran-i deur before the gaze. Are the energies, resources and intellect of North Carolina ! Methodism to be crippled or buried, that other States and Conferences may be aug mented and promoted while she remains a . reproach? l'rovidence bids us arise and urge with vigorous perseverance our inte- word baptize.

Onward to our Destination. Amidst the numerous subjects which interest our common country, North Caro lina and her interests are overlooked. In the General Government, her interests are regarded as of little consequence, and therefore, while millions of dollars are an nually appropriated by Congress to other portions of the country for improvements, our State is passed by unnoticed, or, if noticed at all, some paltry sum is appro priated to be used within her limits. So it is in the Church. We must be hemmed in on both sides, to subserve the interests of other Conferences. No General Con ference enterprise is entrusted to our care. And why ? ' Because we are either un worthy, or have not ability to manage an enterprise or someother Conference would lose some of its importance? As it regards our General Government and State affairs, I will leave them to the management of statesmen. I would, however, that some of our statesmen had a little more patriot ism, and a great deal less selfishness. But let it pass. As it regards the Church, I desire to look a little to her interests in North Caro lina. Some of our church organs (Gene ral Conference papers,) seem not a little concerned about a MetLodist newspaper in our State. Why is so much concern manifested in a certain warm climate about the N. C C. Advocate? Is it prompted by a love of Methodism ? If so, the prompt ing was most noble and praiseworthy, and the same warm prompting would meet with thousands who reciprocate the feeling in North Carolina. J.iet us examine this subject. Methodist newspapers have given, in other Conferences, a powerful impetus to our cause; success has crowned their efforts; and understanding these things, we wish to avail ourselves of the advan tages of their experience, and trust a like success will attend our efforts. Now, if the love of Methodism prompted the con cern, why not be filling for us,-who love Methodism too, to try to advance her in terests by the same means that gave them success ? Surely it J at least laudable. But is it not at least possible that the concern for North Carolina -as prompted by some other motive than love for Meth odism ? The N. G. Conference has been held in dependence upon other Conferences until they are loth to give it up. She has been dependent on her sister Conferences for religious newspapers ever since she had an existence, and it is but natural that 1. It is the most active Methodist pa per that now circulates, to any extent, within our bounds. The lliehmond and Southern Christian Advocates have, to a considerable extent, retired from our ter ritories. And they never did reach the number of subscribers that our Advocate now has. Hence, we should strive to in crease its circulation, and make it worthy of patronage by placing it in a position equal, if not superior, to those papers it is about to succeed In fact, we ought to labor to make it the leading journal iu the Advocate family. 2. W e must look to the IN. C. u. Advo- j cate to push forward the interests of our J beloved Methodism in the bounds of our Conference. All must admit that we need- j cd a medium through which we might dis- j seminate light; and the Advocate is well i adapted to be that medium. I would never j recommend literature because it was cheap, j but the price of the Advocate is such that i every one may have it. a hen let every one do his duty, anc we shall soon see North.

A very smart lawyer in V llmmgton, 3Hi.ardlaitenn0t Every day Preaching'. One painful lack with some excellent ministers is the lack of knowledge of the human heart in its daily actings. They are not ignorant men. They are tolerably familiar with Owen and Howe, with Poo'e and Turrentin, and may have waded deep into Ilavernick and Hengstensberg. But to the living, acting, weeping, working, tempted and sinning world around them, they are well-nigh strangers. During the week, their parishioners have been driving a plow, or hammering a lapstone, or plead ing a cause, or have been " up to their i eyes iu cotton Dales or sugar easK3. When the Sabbath comes, these parishion ers bring to the sanctuary their every day wants and trials, as parents, as citizens, as men of business. They want preaching that shall tell them how to live, as well as what to believe. They want plain teach ing. TJiey want doctrine, but doctrine made practical. They hunger for truth, but truth pursred of all'scholastie techni calities. We once heard a young licen tiate of great promise preach a sermon in which he talked about " governmental the ories of atonement," of potentialities," of "subjective feelings," and 11 eclaircised verities." We said to ourselves, Young man ! you will burn that sermon up before you have been in the ministry twelve months." Such preaching saves no souls.
