ARMSTRONG'S BOOK. Ii» these days of “rapid transit,” when most authors write as if their pens were driven by an electric m» chine, it is refreshing to get hold of a book which has claimed tweuty years of a man’s attention in its prepara tion. In this era pebple cannot wait j for the assistance of the printing press nud the telegraph, bnt they mnst have artificial ears, telephones, to enable them to get the thoughts of a man while they are yet maturing, so to speak, in his brain. The readers 6f Dr. Armstrong’s new book ou the Sacraments of the Ke>e Testament will not need the tele phone to assist them. The Doctor’s thought is not to be given to the world while it is yet iu embryo in his own brain. He is eminently a think mg man, aim wueu uo nos twenty years in thinking on a subject we are ready to give him our best at tention. The book before us contains 314 pages and is writteu iu the Doctor’s argumentative style, discussing close ly the whole subject under considera tion. It cousists of four parts.— Part I tieats of the very important quMtion of Translation. Part II of tbetJlode of Baptism. Part III of the Subjects of Baptism. Part IV of Baptismal ltegeneration. As we expected, he begins at the roots of his subject and walks graud ly upward. Every paragraph, we be lieve, bears the marks of special at teution, of time and careful thought. When Dr. Armstrong comes to the subject of Iufant Baptism he does not falter, bnt with a logical precision he analyzes and shows the results of the Baptist teaching on this point. For instance, be takes this passage from Mark 1C: 15,1C. “And he said unto them, Qo ye into all nn<l preach the Gospel to everyWifttnre.— He that helieveth and is baptized shall be sa ved : but he that helieveth not shall be damned. Dr. Armstrong thep says: “The Baptist reasons upon this passage thus : Baptism is here made < consequent upon faith—‘He that be lievet/i and is baptized shall be saved.’ And as no oufc pretends that infants can exercise faith in Christ, the faith here spoken ®f, this passage prohibits their baptism.” For the purpose of bringing out distinctly the nitfnre of this argu | meat, let us give ft t he form of what logicians call a syllogism. “He that beU&fth and is baptized shall be saved.’! “SayR the Baptist, Syllogism I. “Baptism is here made consequent up)Bn faith. Infauts cannot exercise faith. Therefore—Anfauts cannot be bap tized.” “If, in our libra's words, He that believed and is baptized shall be saved; he that believeth not shall be damned, baptism is made consequent, upon faith ip such a sense as to re strict it to those who believe, upon precisely tUb same principles of inter pretation, salvation is made conse queut upot faith in such a sense as to restrict to those that believe, aud damnatioi is made consequent upon not believing. We, therefore, rail upon the Baptist consistently to fol low out iis principles of interpreta tion as expressed in the two following Syllogisms:— Sll. IT. “Salvation is here made comteqient upon faith. jhfatts cannot believe: Jfheiefore,—Infauts cannot be 6a veu. * Syl. TIL “Damnation is here inadefcoflsequenfc npon not believing. Infants do not believe : Tveneforje—Infants must be damned.’’ / TNiis isielo&f quarters for our Bap tist'tircth rent We noticed a review oFWS bopV in the Religious Herald r^dutly. It said not a word about tie l)octo •’» syllogisms—and we sup j*se it wi I not, fiince ships go around sioals au( rocki, places dangerous to heir safety, and some men are like jdiips in this respect. Hour Baptist brethren shall bring out the truth we are willing to receive it, and if'the truth comes from our Presbyterian brethren we are still willing to receive it. “Seize upon trutli, where’er 'lis fouid, Atnoug your friends, among your foes, On Christian or on heathen ground, l’he Hower is diriue where’er it grows. Neglect the prichles, aDd assume the rose. We would be glad to knovf that ev »ry minister aud Bible student in the DhristiAn Church had in bis library, ind its contents well stored in his mud,a copy of Dr. Armstrong’s book in The Sacraments of the He if Testa nent. It is a twenty years’ study of be subject, giving it the most thor >ugh discussion we remember to have een anywhere. It is published by itess. A. C. Armstrong & Hon, 714 3roadway, X. Y.

Learn to be rise aud stand together. Bub^cbibe ft* the Sen. OUR CAUSE. Holy Father keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me that they may be one at we are.—Jno. 17:11. This is a prayer of the Saviour of fered up to God the Father in behalf of the disciples aud all those who should obey the truth through them. A prayer for the unity of the church, and the indissoluble connection ot the | people Of God. Oh 1 how little of the spirit Of this prayer is carried into onr Christian life. The object of the llible is to make man wiser, aud better,—wiser than he w«s without it or can become without it. Tee design of the Chris tian religion, is to make man holier, and happier,—holier and happier than he was without it or can be without it, neither the Bible, nor re Iigieu baa as yet filled its great inis siou. A large part of the church and a larger part of the world nre*but little wiser, and better, in conse queues of the gift of the precious Bible. Aud only the units of the hundreds even in the church are made holier aud happier by their re ligion. This is a terrible state of things. To day the Bible is a book of contention, the church is split into a hundred fragments, and reli gion is too often merely the notion ot a party. Let us notice the effect of this state of things upon the Christian world. One party is in array against another in bitterest hostility, enmity exists where love should abound, while one is of Paul and another of Apollas, we should all be of Christ aud Christ alone. The chief argu ments of infidelity are drawn from tho errors of the churcli, the incon sistency of Christians. The rivalry and hatred of various branches of the church of Christ prevent and hinder the prayer of Jesus far more :h,in the agreements of the uinuei rossihly cJHflfethe chnrch needs jnion wiU^^^^ther, and with its Withoi4li|^^ftnen have mourned tver thes^e^^and have sought for i remedy) And some have atterapt sd an apology for the state of things, matters cannot be bettered they say. Others say if we throw away om creeds and confessions of faith, the world will not know what we believe, others say enelr denomination be lieves its doctrines to be right. There is a remedy however. It is found in the answer to the prayer ol the Redeemer. This remedy is ol Divine origin, if applied in the spirit of OJirist, all divisions and animosi ties would be healed. It would uuiU us in the love of a common cause, unite us in the love of a common re ligion and unite us in the love of a common Saviour. The religion ol the Lord Jesus is a religion of the heart rather thau of the head, it is lore to God and love to man. Join otir hearts and our heads will not be very far apart. The Christian Church is laboring to cultivate this spirit of unity. Striving to live under the influence of the SaViour’s prayer. Jtud that disputations and strife may cease she posts on the door ol the church, her fundamental principles that all who approach may read—that here, 1st.

It fillet! si Saviour's hands.** He seemed indeed “watching for souls ns ouc that mast give an ac count.” And though iny iniud was not capable of entering with him into all the profound depths of his theol ogy, or of appreciating him fully, yet I should fall short of the truth, did I dot sav, wy soul was charmed with his de^tpt earnestness, his pathetic tone and the sweet melody of his voice. His veiy soul was full of his subjective was elevated aud inspir ed with the grandeur of his theme, and it flowed out in persuasive elo quence, like "the waters from a free fountain, livery eye was upofT him, every ear was listening as if to a message from heaven, which the Holy (lliost was assisting him to de liver in melting tenderness. The sentiment of the text, was the great burden of iiis soul, and was borne on the wings of prayer, and amen from every Christian’s heart wont up to the eternal throne, as he repeated “Awake, O North wind; and come thou South ; blow upon my garden that the spices mnj lluw out. Let my beloved 1:01110 into bis garden anu eat kis plersant finds.” Oil how anxious he seemed for tlio coming of the Holy Spirit, for a gracious re freshing from the presence of the Lord, that the garden of the Lord might be watered and that a fruitful ami plenteous harvest might be gathered into t he garner of t lie Lord! It was my pleasure to hear father Livesay several times alter the ncca siou refered to, wheu I thought he delivered himself well, but I think 1 neVer heard that effort equaled. And my mind has often reverted back to that day, and contemplated with pleasurable emotions, and beau tiful adaptations of tiie language used in this well chosen subject; aud long did the cadence of his voice, and those memorable words of the text “Awake, O North winds,” ring in my ears. Aud his jestures, evin ciug his impassioned ardor, his coun tenance beaming as it were with j heaven’s own radiance, and the lofty sentiment uttered, can ne^er be effa ced from my memory. father Livesay was a minister of decided talent; had a mind enriched by much useful knowledge, and he was deservedly popular in _ his more palmier days as a pulpit orator. And many of the hundreds who were drawn to him by (he attractive power of his reasonings, his profound researches into the rich depths of divine truth, aud were fed and refreshed, received light and comfort, and who are uow sleeping in the ctuik chambers of death, will doubtless awake up in the resurrection morr. to call him blessed. There are but few now liv ing who can form any just conception of the powers of his intellect or of his capacities for coimnunicatiug his thoughts. They saw him only, un dcr Hie most unfavorablecircuinstun ccs. Old ministers are rarely ever popular with the masses, and cape cinlly not so with the young. They saw him when tottering as it. were, under the weights of many years; when the ri^^li hand ut' time had been laid heavily upon him. fie was not moved by lofty aspirations, his once indefatigable energies bad re laxed into apparent appalby, bis teal bad been cooled down by the Uighteu tonch of age, his once mu sical voice, had been bereft of its strength and powers of intouation and the human-machine, so to speak, had been unnerved and unstrung; therefore his mental vigor and his brilliant powers were no longer prom inent. He was in the “yellow leaf” of age, and but a mere wreck of his former strength. 11. H. Holland.

H, B. PROF. MANGUM’S LECTURE. LBSME’S MKTOOD WTTIl DKTSTS. Object: To demonstrate the truth of the Christian religion ami at the same time, to distinguish it from im postors of Mahomet and thtjwbole pa gan world. 1. If Mallet s of Fact in the life of Christ are true—the doctrine is true for if ho wrought miracles, they p the troth of His teachings. The sii* is true as to Moses and the Old Te ■bient. flp' The rules that tost alleged Mat BFs of Fact: „ hey most bo such as (lie out- 1 servances begin at the time of theob- i ing of the Mutters of Fact, and con- , tluue. Tlie first two rules prevent impos ture at the time of alleged perform ance. The other two rules prevent the inventions of such alleged facts at any future time. Matters of Fact respecting Moses and Christ have all these rules. Mat ters of Fact respecting Mahomet and heathen deities ha\se not all these rules. No imposture can have these rules. 2. (1) Moses taught the Israelites of their migration, crossing the lied Sea, &e. Their senses would test tbe trnth of that. He, in the Pentateuch, requires them to believe what their senses tested. -(2) If the Books were invented af terwards their first appearance at any time would have been met with con tradiction, as they affirm what all would know was not true. (3) There were monuments and out ward actions—passover, circumcision, —various feasts. There were many peculiar observances. Did they keep these in memory of nothing! Were they iguoraut of any purposes!— Could these have been invented at any time undetected ! As to Christ: First two rules: His miracles were done before the multitude and appealed directly to their senses, so that 5,000, from what they saw, were converted at one time. The last two rules:—Monuments and observances: Baptisib, the Lord’s Sapper and the misistry.— These extend, link by link, back to the daysof Christ, as their institution at a subsequent time would have met defiaut rejection as false. As to Mahomet and pagan deities: 1. Mahomet did not claim in his day to have performed any miracles. 2. J%ose that are told of him want the first two rules; they were uot done in the presence of any one, and we have only his word for them. 3. The same is to be said of the fa bles of the heathen gods. 4. Heathen games, feasts, &c., were uot instituted at the time of the occurrence of what they profess to commemorate- They all lack the 4th rule. And their priests were uot ap pointed by their gods, but by others iu honor of them. It was impossible to persuade men that they had been etrenmeised or baptized—had circumcised or bap tized their children—had celebrated passovers, Sabbaths and sacraments if it had not been true. '’311b-world is challenged to produce a single impos ture sustained by these 4 rules. i K. E. POKTEK. Chapel Hill, N. C. A QUESTION. Mr. Editor: What shall we do with the Deacons of the churclf that get drunk? Is it the pastors place to urge the arrest of disorders in the church t Or shall he be very still about it and keep the officials still about it, too? Can the passage of Scripture in Matt. 18 bo applied to public offen ces? Shall not he that publicly sins against the church be rebuked before all ? Or shall public offences be set tled by the officials in the absence of the church? Can you give an an swer ? Truth. reply. “Truth” may trust the manage ment of all disorders in the church whether private or public to the di rections given in Matt. 18: 15,10, IT. If tire oircnse be private and the offi cials of the church can settle it with out making it public, it is their dutj to do so. If it be public aud the ofi cials can settle it in a manner alij honorable to both, the offender al the church, they should do so, ev| in the absence of the church. Id always iu order to make peace a] stop au evil. However, in the ctj of public offences, after the aetbjfi meut has been made privately, it. be necessary to make known the ; of the settlement. This may be by a report from the church: cials to the church, and also by 1 offending party confessing public after the report has been made, hi; sorrow for the offepse, asking pardo at the hands of the church.

It is not right to judge a young man by the company he keeps. Sure ly bad company has au evil tendeu ey; but a boy or man is very weak, if he cau’t be in bad company and let bad things alone. There must be somebody to go into bad company and try to turn them ; for it won’t do to sit down and say “that is a bad crowd and I intend to have nothing to do with them.” My ideal of a sound Christian is one that can be in bad company, never do bad himself and often dissuade his com panions from doing wrong. I say it will not do for us to sit down and see the wicked rushing to ruin, without trying to save them. The best thing to stop them is to put a young man (that will do) in their company and let him be thoroughly honest at all times, and they will reverence him ; and he can soon get them to think ing, and then-, f only speak of our larger boys that are the basis of our future. I am one of the members and I don’t want so mnck negligence paid to ns. Now don’t judge a young man by his compauy, but by bis acts. “C.” THOUGHTS FOR THE YOUNG. Children choose God for your por tion ; remen.ber that he is the only happiness of a rational and immortal soul. The soul that was made for God can hud no happiness but in God; it came from God aud can nev er l>o happy but by returning to Him again and resting in Him. “Arise for this is not your rest.” Mic. 2: 10. “If yo then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand oi Cod. Sot your affections on things above, not on things on the earth. For*ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ iu God.” Col. 3: 1-3.— God is all sufficient; get Him for jour portion, and you have all: then you have infinite wisdom to direct you, infinite knowledge to teach you, infi uijje mercy to pity aud save you, infi nite love to care for aud comfort you, a^d infinite power to protect and kiiep you. If God be yours, all His attributes are yours; all His creatures, all His works of providence shall do you good, as you have need of them. He is an eternal, full atid satisfactory portion. He is an ever-loving, ever present friend; aud without Him ybu are a cursed creature in every condition, aud all things will work against you. Consider, that by na ture you are dead iu trespasses and sjns, a child of wrath and an enemy i to God; while such, the thoughts of Cod are terrible to you: you can ex pect nothing from Him but wrath and everlasting burnings. God is aVer angry with the wicked; His ho liness hates all sin, His all-seeing eye beholds it, and His justice will punish t, While you are in a state of na ;ure you do nothing but sin, Gen, 6: 5, Matt, 7: 18. tl"u& snauyspul a wieka^ heart is apt taken.
