The Extent of the Atonement.
The Kational Aui;iv!ext.
J5y tlie rational argument wo mean that entire
class of arguments bearing on t!ie extent of
of the atonement which may he deri 't d from
sources outside of the Dmnefy-iuspired lle
eord, and which may be deduced from generally
admitted aud universally recogui zed principles iu
God's moral and providential Government.
1. We would infer God's purpose to make pro
vision for the salvation of all meu by the atone
lucnt of Christ from his iuSnite peifectiuns. It
is rational to expect every buing to act according
to the principles, perfections, attributes and af
fections of his nature. It is natural to expect
the animal to act as an animal man to act as
man and God to act as God to expect the brute
to act as the Irate the human to act as the hu
iuilk; the Divine to act as I'hiuc. God is in
finite. Ail His perfections are infinite, and his
purposes ot salvattoa, growing out of his perfec
tions nml partaking of their character, must be
infinite. The benevolence of God is infinite,
which v.-Jii'.u L.atUi.aiiy lft.d him to desire the spir
itual aud eternal wcll-beiiig of all u:eu. God's
. holiness is infiuite, which must eausc him to de
sire holiness to prevail among all men. His mer
cy is iufiuite, which would iuflueuce Him to pro
vide for an oiler of pardon to all men. His wis
dom is intinite, which would enable him to de
vise a plan of salvation adapted to the wants of
till men. His power is infiuite, which would en
able him to carry this plan into effectual operation.
Now, can such a God with such perfections
make a limited atonement or purpose to provide
salvation for a limited few? We t'uiuk not.
God's purpose must agree with his perfections,
and his plan of salvation must provide for the
full revelation, the perfect development, the free
action and glorious display of all his attributes.
"1. We would argue a uuivcrsal atonement from
the unity of God. God has never assumed to
man a limited relation. lo do it as the author of
held alternately in the towns of Lenoir, Morgan
ton, llutherfordton, Shelby, Newton, Lincolntou,
Concord, &e., &c ; and the people of those places
wiil have the privilege of seeing and hearing what
they never saw and heard before a live Metho
dist Bisnop; a sight which many of our old
grey-headed fathers and mothers much desire.
Moreover, a Methodist Conference held at any of
the places above named, would give such an im
petus to our beloved Methodism as she has never
experienced since her organization in those parts.
It could not be long under this arrangement, be
fore Methodism would become universal' preva
lent in the Western portion of the State. Very
soon she would shake herself from the dust; and
attired in her bright robe of doctrinal purity, the
would stand forth the queen of gospel Churches
; among her fellows of the West. And does not
this much to-be-desired position of the Methodist
J'l.iscopal Church, South, in AYestern Xorth Car
olina, lie within the limits of possibility ? Yea.
is it not already j'oised upon the scale of prob

mersed, for no olher was valid baptism. So, the
following expedient was fixed upon. He could
not be carried to the river, and there was no pool
like Dr. Magoon's. A box was prepared water
tight, aud placed by the young man's bed aud
filled with warm water. The young man was
then taken upon a blanket by four men, and
placed in the water untill all the body was sub
merged : the minister standing over him pro
nounced the baptismal service, and the men low
ered the blanket until the head was covered with
the wafer.
Now Mr. Editor, the question which I wish to
propound is this, Who baptized that young man,
the unordained laymen, who held the blanket, or
the minister who prvnuunee.il the service ? If
the laymen, then where do you place the minis
try ! If the minister, then how, if he neither
touched the water or the subject. The laymen,
(or they might have been unbaptized men, for all
that we knew) applied the uthject and l.'.e blanket
to the water. The "ttanatffiiijppHed ttge-mvrds to

are forty classes iu which one thousand adults are
learning to read, aud reading societies are being
formed in the town and villages.
The ul tendance ou stated religious work ser

conclusive testimony from the bishop and clergy

the law of universality that hoids good every

here. Why this failure? This proves cither
that God is not a unit, or that lio is uot tlu au

T'ltt. F.ldrott: It. is sometimes tiskcd ny the
opposition party to the State Conference liouml
ary, ' what good can pu---ibiy result to X'liih
Carolina from a transfer of the territory now iu
question."
To this question, n thousand and oti- answers
might be given, lint lii-', however, will claim the
reader's aittnt on in this hurried article. And,
1st. 1 conceive that, if tho North Carolina Con
ference were extend :d westwardly so as to cm
brace all the territory east of the lilue llidg?,
there would then necessarily be two Conferences
in the State au Kastern and a Wes'ern North
Carolina Conference. The lino would divide the
State somewhere near the Capitol, giving each
portion of tlie State a territory s uHLieiitly able to
sustain a Conference. This would give ail Ihe

I She obtained her mother's permission to be
i baptized, and then acquainted the pastor with her
I desire. She was brought to the pool iu the arms
! of her uncle ; attended by her mother, and lifted
j into the arms of the pastor, who gently immersed
; her head, after repeating the usual words. The
j scene was very affecting, causing some of the
j spectators to sob with emotion.
! She was so far gone that it was feared she
J might expire during the ceremony, yet after it
' was performed she expressed a wish to be brought
j to the church in the afternoon, partook of the
j Lord's Supper, which was grantedT After the

Dr, Man-oon asked her how she felt, she whisper

severely reprobated by them. Did Dr. Magoon
".'''.' immerse the head'"' of t Ids dying young
christian then the application of wacr to the
hriiit is sufficient, and your correspondent in bap
tizing a dying woman not loug since, did not do
wrong by simply baptising the head, aud that by
effusion, for if so small a quantity as Dr. Magoon
applied to the subject was sufficient, a slightly
less quantity was equally efficacious. So theu Dr,
Magoon of Albany, has settled the question of
quautity of water, if the statement bo true.
Dut your correspondent thiuks that ho has the
advantage of Dr. Magoon iu this, that he did
baptize the subject under circumstances similar to
those in which the Apostles baptized i.e. just where
he found the subject at home aud withuut the
trouble and pain of transporting to another and
distant place, and in a manner agreeing with the
baptism of the Holy Ghost, aud the blood of
Jesus. "And there are three that bear witness in
earth the Spirit and the water and the blood, and
these three ":p-ee, iu one." 1 John, v. 8. ,

The Irish Sevivals.
The Loudon Quarter.') for January, has an
elaborate article ou the results of the recent re
vivals in Ireland. Tho Christ ia a Adcocale, and
Journal makes the following synopsis :
lie results 01 the Irish revivals aro astontsh-
iuo lvev. Daniel Mooney, incumbent of
Ballyniena, reports to his diocesan that in that
l'rotestuut parish sixty Ilomau Catholics have
renounced popery since tlie commencement of the
revival. Tho lowest estimate of tiio number con
verted from r.opery iu the counties of Down and
.Antrim puts it at one thousand. Io the whole
province it is probabaiearly twelve hundred.
The'priests denounced the revival Many ad
vised their flock against this "new work of the
devil," and represented it as an alarming con
tagious disease. They blessed charms and bot
tles of holy water, and sold them tothepeoplo to
prevent them from " catching it. ' One priest
realized Jt5 in a mouth, and another made .17
in a few weeks. A poor servant lad bought a
bottle for Is., stole into his master's room while
lie was at prayer, and shook tho bottle over Lis
head to prevent him from taking the " prevailing
coidemie." The awakening is now extending
among the Iloinanists iu the provinces of Con
naught and Leinster.
The exuberant joy which was manifested by
the converts, and which found its expression iu
singing hymns at all hours of the day aud night,
has resulted in innumerable instances in a set
tled peace and contentment. Henevoleuce is not
only shown by them to each other and to their
neighbors, but to all who are brought within the
range of their sympathies. It lias been dis
played iu liberal aud ready contributions to many
societies which ask for aid in their efforts to al
leviate human misery. The self denial which is
continually exercised for this purpose, and the
change which has come over hard, grasping,
miserly men, aro very remarkable. 'The desire
of religious instruction is so great that the min
isters are heavily burdened iu the r attempts to
supply it. The Dible classes, which have been
almost, universally established, are largely atten
ded both by men and women. It is not an un
common thing to find as many as five hundred
persons meeting regularly. There is a conse
quent demand for li bios aud religious books, and
at the country fairs there is a large trade can led
on in tracts and .short biographies. Some idea of
the prevalent ta.sie may be formed from the fact
tl at a tingle bookseller iu lour months sold
twenty thousaud Hymn Looks, and two hundred
thousand hymns iu sheets; aud that the Edin
burgh Bible Society alone supplied nineteen thou
sand Bibles, which is an increase of fourteen thou-
