1. These are the great elemenLs of prosperity

in. every church.

1. A true. Scriptural faith, involving repen-

t:ir.ce for all sin, and a hearty turning to God

with all the heart, in the reception of Christ

as the alone medium of access to God, and j

ground of acceptance with him. |

2. A diligent use of the means which God

hns appoinlied for the conversion of sinners j

and the edification of the saints. [

These are—1, The preaching of the word; |

2. The sacraments; ;i. Fellowship; 4. Prayer; i

regards the question of duty. The congenial-

ity of spirit in a'.l those who hold '-One Lord,

them together into one bro hethood. A com

Prrach the word, the most essential parts of

consideration of all ministers, whether they

should not preach more in the manner of God's

word.; I t is certain that the fathers used to

preach in this manner.

Brethren, they will not th.mk ua in eternity

peace,." when there is no pe.ice. No; they

may praise us now, but they will curse our

of the Commission, is the embodiment of the

gospel's activity, under whose aggressive and

operating inlluences the elect of I'lod are to be

gathered from every quarter of the globe.—

This great Charter of the Kingdom of Christ,

not only permits, but commands that those

who believe shall congregate together for the

spread of the gospel. Utherwi

be no regular system of instructing the disci-

ples to "observe all things, whatsoever Chri.st

had commanded." When the aposties went

forth under this commission to evangelize the

world, those that believevl the gospel were '

' added to the church," which of course was

already in e.viatence. The members uf this,

the first church, being greatiy increased by the

addition of the converts made on the dav of

Pentecost, it b-2came necessary that it a.ssume

a regular and permanent I'orm and goverr-

iiien;. Accordingly it was divinely organized

j in Jerusalem under the immediate direction of

j the apostles, by the election and appointment

of its appropriate officers, pastors .and deacons.

I This was no mere temporary organization. No

j intimation was made at the time, or at any

subsequent period, that this Apostolic form of

Church Constitution, might be dispi-nsed with,

or changed, to meet the views of an ever-

shifting c.xpediency. On the contrary, every

indication to be gathered from the Apostolic

Acts and Epistles on this subject, go to con

finii the idea that this, form of organization

was intended to be fi.xed and eternal. If, ac-

cording to some, the constitution of the church

at Jerusalem was only a preliminary arrange-

ment, and that the future government of the

church was left to tlie mere direction of those

who might hereafter claim to be the succes.sors

of the apostles, then we have no guarantee a-

irainst the inroads of corruption and misrule,

but the infallibility of human prejudice.

To allow a set uf self-constituted represen-

tatives of Christ, to change the order and gov-

ernment of the church at pleasure, would be

to sanction as many churches, as the Chanie-

lion h.as colors. Every pha.se of faUe Chris-

ti.anity would become the nucleus of a new

church, and churches "would multiply as fast

as young rabbits." No. The church of Jesus

Christ, is not built upon such "wood, hay and

stubble." as tickle expediency. It is "built

upon the foundation of the Apostles, Jesus

Christ himself being the chief corner-stone."

" I t is the pillar and the ground of the truth."

Such was the church at Jerusalem. It was

divine in its authority, unchangeable in its or-

der, and the model of all others that shall suc-

ceed it to the end of time.

e there would their light upon the candlestick that is in the

church, and not "under the bushel." that is in

the world. Influence is a talent of tremend-

ous magnitude, and belongs to Christ. "For

none of us liveih unto himself." Man's ac-

tions liave an influence more powerful, and

more endearing than his words. The influ-

ence of action, though smali at first, yet like

the avalanche starting from the liill top, it

widens, deepens, and accelerates, as it goes.

It behoovts the friends of Christ, to lei loose

this avalanche upon the enemies of his truth:

and not to turn iLs dreadful power against his

institutions and his cause. Remember the

words of Christ, "He that is not with me, is

against me; and he th.at gathereth not with me,

scattereth abroad."

G . I t i s i h e d u t y o f a l l b e l i e v e r s p u b l i c l y t o

c o n f e s s C h r L i t . (ireat importance is attached

to this jiublic confession, by Christ h imself—

Compliance with the ordinances is the appoint-

ed and only means, by which such a confes-

sion can be made. The ordinances are the

signs of holy recognition. " I f any man will

come after me, let him deny himsi If, take up

his cross and follow me." Again, "Wlio.so-

< - w r therefore shall c o n f e s s m c b e f o r e m e n , him

will I also confess before my Father in Ilea

ven." Yea, this sort of confession is made a

test of Christian character. "Whosoever shall

confess that Jesus is the Son uf God, God

dwelleth in him, and he in (fod."

Such a test was demanded in the davs when

great shame and persecution followed the chris-

tian profession. The reproach of the c-hiistian

name is not removed even in this day. Tho'

the mode of opposition to the christian church

is clianged. still it requireth no little moral

courage to acknowledge one's self a christian,

in thi- true sense of the word, even in our day-

It may not require much salf-denial or reproach

to enter certain religious communions, that fel-

lowship the pride, the fashion, ihe pleasure,

and the sins of the world; that requires no

change of heart, or sacrifice of soul or body,

but not so with the true churches of Jesus

Christ. "They that will godly in Christ Jesus

shall suffer persecution." And there are ma

ny professed believei-s in this day, that might

be profited by a faithful application of the ad-

monition of Christ. "For who.soever shall be

ashamed of me, and my words, of him shall

the Son of Man be ashamed, when he shall

come in his own glory, and in his Father's,

and the holy angels." I t is to be feared, that

some who profess Christ privately in their

h e a r t s , deny him by their actions before men.

Let such prayerfully consider tlie words of

Christ, "Bu t whosoever shall deny me before

men, him will I also deny before my Father

which is in heaven."

There is no proof from the Scriptures, that

any man was cv?r recognized as a christian,

who did not publicly profess Christ. I f the

elements of christian character are the same

at all times, and if confession was sn e.s.sential

element in the days of Christ, what right has

Hear the response, O ye disobedient professors

of the religion of Cl.ristl "Blcssed are they

that do his commandments, that thi-y may have

right tu the tree of life, and enter through the

• ••ates of the citv."

I t has been shown in the preceding pages

that Christ lias a church in the world, a per-

petuation of that model which was divinelv

Constituted by the Apostles at Jerusalem. It

has been also shown by a number of argu-

ments. that it is the duty of all believers in

Christ to join his church. Yet there are f^ome

persons who either do not recognize the duty,

or are resolved to risk the consequences of dis-

obedience.

Let us next consider some of the objections

of those professed christians who live out of

the church, and see if they an

scriptural.

1. It is often said, by way of objection. " 7

s.adly mistaken, if he supposes that the only

design of God in converting souls, is in carry I ous howl, let them howl.

The church i.s marching forward on her great

mi.ssion—he that loiters behind, waiiinir for

others, will be left out of sight, and perhaps

intercepied fay enemies. Death mayjake him

prisoner, and he never be permitted lo enter

the churcli. There is no authority in the New

Testament for such waiting fur friends. The

command of Christ is, "Let the de.id bury tiie

dead, and follow thou me."

9. Many remain out of the church, becaii-f

of "the opposition <f their relatives." It is tu be lamented, that in this land, boasttd for i:s

religious hberty and the rights of conscience,

that such a cause for disobedience to Christ,

should ever exist. Though lamentable. !! is

nevertheless Irue, that parentnl authority and

coercive measures are frequently used to pre-

vent children, wives, and relatives from tiie

performance of a conscientious duty to God.

What ought an individual to do under such

circumstances? Why , he "ought lo obey <rod

rather than man," and rejoice in the promise.

Religion is not selfish, but communicative.—

Furtiiermure, if this objection be valid, the

church is unncessary, and God is justly charge-

institution that is useh-ss. The objection in-

volves a gross absurdity and cannot be main-

honor in the great day, as those who have

honored Christ? Will ihe impartial J udge say

to him in that day, "We l l done, good and

failiifnl servant?" Where are the proofs of

his fidelity?

By what plea does such an one intend to be

exhoneraled from that which he feels and k-nows

to be * duty? Does he think that Crod will

wave al! claim to obedience—that his gauzy

excuses will stand the piercing scrutiny of God's

flsming bar, or that the Great Judge will over-

look his delinquencies? How w i l l i e meet the

Lord Jesus, when he "shall be revealed from

heaven, in flaming fire, taking vengeance on

them that know not God, and that obey not the

gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ?"

On the other hand, a cheerful obedience to

Christ in this matter will inspire great joy and

confidence like Darid, when he said, "Then

will I not be ashamed when I have respect un-

to all thy commandments." He is now folly

identified with the church militant on earth,

and may ressonably anticipate a full share in

the glories of the church triumphant in hea-

ven. When the "glorious church" of the Re-

deemer shall be gathered home to God, to join

in the triumghant song that shall roll its swel-

Dr. Beecher relied upon Origen as his instruc

tor in reference to infant sprinkling. Not sat-

isfied with adopting the views of his wonderful

teacher upon this subject, he has recently giv-

en to the public a work, in which he boldly

advocates Origen's theory of the pre existence

of souls. I f the Synod of L^tica can give us

no better teachers than Origen, Cyprian, Pe-

Ingius .t Co., we must beg leave to refuse to

listen to their instructions, and say to them,

while we open the Xew Testament, "Bu t we

have the mind of Christ."

Christ's teachings, we greatly prefer to those

of Origen. Whereas, it appears that certain wrong im

"Tteritht and duty of infantbsptismis tm^ht in , pressions weic made on the minds of some j,-.

the Confession of Faith, by snbscribiDf. which, we brethren who were present at tbe "Minister's I cour ie»as be^n to pre'a.-b lo pray and exhort

thought it would be proper to correct the er-

Kroo this we learn that Christ established his

the Church of Christ, but has been drunk with

sympathize with Bro. Toon in this hour

of real distress;.but can console him and our-

selves wiih the rt flection that his departed

eomp'snion has gone to a better and a brighter

dliciple of Christ, and was abundantly ready

to meet the summons. She died " i n the

general , for there is scarce any country -where

other sects beget horror by their blasphemies

against God, this of the Leonites hath a ^reat

show of piety because they live justly before

Gotl, and vll the articles contained in the creed.

I will ••onclude-, for the present, by giving

some extrpcts from the Baptist Library, where

the works from which the extracts were taken

are referred to.

" I n I I S i , many of the Waldensian faith

suBered death in Flanders under the Earl

Phill ip Elzates, for opposing infant baptism.'

"Pope Innocent the I I I , in 1199, writes his

decretal epistle to the Archbishop of Aries re

specting the Albigensian .cect, to which Baron-

ius in his annals writes this preamble: 'Among"

the Arlatenses were herctics who excluded In-

fants from baptism, counting them incapable

of that heavenly privilege; therefore didlnno-

centwritethisepistleto the Archbishopof Aries,

to confute and confound them. Wherein hav-

ing given mtiny argnments to ev/oree the bap-

lizin"- of infants, he made this decree, viz: that

since baptism is come in the room of circumci-

sion, ( ? ) therefore not the elder only, but also

young children, which of themselves neither

believe nor imderstand, shall be baptized, and

in their baptism original sin saall be forgiven

them."

"This Pope, in order to confote and ccn-

found these Waldenses, promised full pardon

of all sin. and paradise forever, to all that

would bear arms against them for forty days;

by which promise he assembled a vast army;

who, in six months, or there about, butchered

two hundred thousand of these pious and zeal-

ous opposers of the Roman Anti-christ."

I n 1230, many of the Waldenses suffered

death in the bishopric o f Tryeis, for opposing

infant baptism-"

by this image; and whether he extended one

finger or more, or whatever he did, ihis figure

duplicated exactly. When he would cause his

bil loon to oscillate, this balloon would move

exactly like his. When he threw oat more

ballast to elevate him.stlf, this figure sankdmm j

instead of rising with h im; and when he aro.=ie

above the clouds into the rays of the unclouded

sun, he left the mimic aeronaut below him.

I n the rays of the sun above the clouds he

found it so warm as to cause him to perspire

freely, a state of heat never before experienced

at this bight, nearly twenty-four thousand feet,

where the air is very rarified and generally

very chilly. He then opened the valve for

the purpose of decending, and as soon as he

sank one or two thousand . feet, which he'as-

certained by barometrical indications, he felt

as i f he had entered an ice-house, and a cold

chill seized his whole penon.

Here he again met his mimic aerial voyager,,

whom he kept in company for some time, from

philosophical motives. Whenever he moved

Tie: First Cross Word.

A STORT FOB THE FIRS-SIDK.

' " T a a leem happy, Annelte, always. T have never been in. a family where the hns-

I am trying to.do my very best to learn how to please him! I t is really too bad.'

Don't look so dreadfully sober, Kale. My bjiby ciied juat here, and I had to run before I was ihrongh with my catalogue of grievanc-es, yet I Lad gone far enoagh to get well on the wron- track again. Ilbegan to-calm my-self with the reflection that if there had been a great wrong done. I was not the only one to

band and whe seemed more so." Hame for it. I was dreadfully sorry that I "Well done, Kat«," said Mrs. Huntingdon, had spoken cross to him. but I tl.ough- he

Isnghing, "yon have used the word seeni only twice in that ahoit sentence. And now you have a begging way about you, as if you were

: really in earnest to hear something about mar-' ried life, before taking die fatal step. I t is -well Henry is not here to see the loot of sad-ness in the eye of his bride-elect. He might jfancy her heart was fail of misgivings instead

' of wedding finery." i "Don' t IflUgh at me. AnneUe; talk with me

aa von used tp do. I io^e Henry, you know, , and j e t I havemsny iniagivings about married 1, life. I see so- few'who are really happy in this ; I mean happy as I should wish to { jje, Yim seei}! to come nearer to it than any • caeelse. Did you ever !"

- "Quarrel? no. not cfien, now. Wa hiid our ; breaking in. i t-elieVe it must come to all ; sooner or later."

"Do ten mejabout it, will you, Annette?" j "Yes, if yoii are very desirous of it. You • may k a m aoiqetlung from i t . "

" I was a romantic girl, as yoa well know, f Kate. Some few friends i had whom I loved

dmr i j ; but these friendships did not (juite sa-• tisfy my heart; Something mora it cravcd.—

I hardly know what, until I loved my husband. ' When we were first married, I used, some-

times, ta ask njyself, now do I find in iliis life • aB which I expected to find? A m i re.-illy as

happy aa I thhught I should be? i ly heart always responded yea. and rn'ore so. AVith us the rumaace oil married life, if I may ca'I it

oan-ht to be sorry too. Before my baby had finiahi'd crying, I came to the conclusion ihat r would not exhibit signs of penitence until I saw some in him.

So I bathed my face that no traces of tears might remain, dressed myself with unusual care, and went down to old Bridget, to give some very pirticular directions about the din-ner. I did this with a martyr-like -spirit. 1 meant to try my beat to make him sorry for his injustice. I resolved to reproach him with a first-rate dinner—good as Lis mother could cook. To whet the edge cf my delicate re proof, I made, with my own hands, a most ex-oellent cup of coffee.

One o'clock came at list, though I thoagut it never would; the d.>or opened and I heard his quickstep in the hall. Of all things in this world, he was whistling! He came to the ta-ble wil-h a bright fsce, from which every trace of the morning's cloud had disappeared, and he sat down, looked aiound wilh a p!e;ised expression.

'Whv. Annette.' said he. 'what a nice din-

•I am gluil you are pleased,' said-I , ia a subdued tone.

'Ca-itnj;.' said he: ' the best ro.^st meat we have had this season.'

He v<-as so much taken up with my delicate reproofs a.<i not to i.-o:ice thr.t I was out of spir its. I was half pfea-sed and half provoked, but I kept rather still, making little conversa-

so. held oB a Ii^g time. Far my part, I waa | tion, except ia reply to Lira, canscious of a pleasurable excitement of feel-ing when we wire togethv- I enjoyed riding and w»lJring aline witli him. The brightest hours of the day were these in which we eat down alone together, to talk or read. For a long time I felt a gentle restraint in his pres-1 least suspicion of the cause. My first impulse enee. I liked tp be becomingly drtssed and to be honest and out with it replying—Is to feel in tnne. When dull I made an effort it as "ood a.-! vour motlier makes? This would I a -to be sodal and cheerful if he was present. I j have give the key to the whole story—he

After dessert, I handed hlia his cup of cof-fee. l ie 'j-as quite astonished. "Why, An-nette,' said he, ' I do believe yon went to work to-day to see what you could do.'

He had hit the truth, though wiiiiout the

h«d • great feu of getting into the way of sit . ling down stupidly with my hiuband, or of ; having nothing lo talk about but tlie children

and the butcher's bill. I made a business of remembfcring ^ e r y pleasant thing which 1

J read or heard or lliought to tell him, and when , all Uieae snhjeclp were eihanated, we had each < u( us a hobby tu ride, so that we were never

silent for want of something to say. Thus we lived for & year or so. I was very happy. I think people were often snrpriaed to see us

[ continue to enjc^- each other's society wit£ so much lest.

' Bat there was this about it. As yet I had nothing to try me. We were boarding, I had BO ewe, and hii tenderness and interest was a sofersign panapea for the little ails and rough-ness which must fall to ns in our best estate. This eonld not jast. however, forever. l ie be-came more and more occupied in his business.

- and I at length h'adr a house and a baby to t look afier. Then, for the first time, our mn-f tual forhearance was pnt lo the test. Hitherto i we had been devoted to each other; now the ; real cares of life pressed upon ua so ofteii as f really to absorb our energies. I was the first

to feel the ehMge. It seemed to me as if f something wasjovershai^wing us. Sometimes ^ I would.get sentimental and think he did not

love me aa ha once did. As I looked back now, I am convinced that there was my JirsC tPTorui atep^ Indulgence in these moods weak-ened my resqjution. I t was an injustice to

i him, of w h i c t l ought not to have been guihy. ' I t left me, too, with a wounded feeling, as if I ji had been wronged, which began to affect my

apirits. Once, I ha'i for some time caa ried about this

little sore spot in my heart. I kept the mat-t ter an (o myself, for I Wris in part ashamed ^ and ia part top proud to speak of it. Here

was another wyong step. There is no security of happiness in marned life but in most per-

r fectconfidencij. There cams a season of damp, chilly weath-

; er. One mousing I got up, feeling very irri-- table. I had taken cold; my head ached, and

my bahy had been worrisome during the night. ' In my htchen.' I had a cross, ignorant fer-i vant girl, and on this particnlar morning she J had done her worst for breakfast. The beef

steak was b u r n ^ to a cinde; the eggs were like bnllfita; the bread was half baked; and the

- coffee, which was our main-stay, was execra-ble. My hnsKand was very patient with all this, until it cime to the coffee, and this upset

t him. He put his cup down and said, in a half veied tojje, " I do wish we could ever have any gooia coffee, Annette; why can you

J not h«ve it m ^ e aa my mother doesr ; ' This waa tlsi drop too much for me, and I i boiled over. /jYoa never think anything on ; onr table fit tojbe eaten," said I . and I almost' : started a t the wundof my own voice; 'you had I better Eve at ipme. if you are not satisfied, or • else provide isje with, decent servants. I can-

nok do evarytJfing—take care of my baby all n%lit and getfUie breakfast too.'

»• ' I did not inow before that I waa ao very ^ unreosanablej' said he, in a tone of injured } feeling. He aat a few minutes, then rose, left . hia untasted fareakiast. and went off.

When I heard tha door shot behind him, all i my temper left me. I went into my room, " locked myself iin, sat down and cried like a - chilJ. Thiawas l i e first cross word 1 had

erer spoken to my hnsband. It seemed to me . aa if a andden calamity had befallen ua. I

woried myaciT tip to such a pitch of feeKng •I that I walkeii about the rooni wringing my ^ hands. r f 'Oh, it ia ait over with ua now,' thonght I ; I: 'we shaE nevwhe happy together again in this ' ^TTorld.' This;thanght made me unspeakably

miieiable. I felt as if s black pall had fallen i aroond me, aad in the ftitnre there was only

blank daifaiesa. In my misery I sought to . ctanlbrt mysdf b'y blaming him. 'He need

not liave ipo]|«n so to me, at any rate,' said I , ^•r: outlood: 'he ' j iugit have seen how I felt; it

f J •waa too mnehjfot any one to bear. I t really ' C. '"»Bfltaneli i iUndtnlum. Itisplatnenoagh i^' tkat ladBeajj iot . a w fit my comfort as lie I o m d i d . 13^ ' to l i ea Im7KfaI&gmB,vI ia t I l B » « B p , b i j i ] i a ] { t e e o Q b , Id les l i a " ^ ^

would Lave ferreted it ail out, and we should have settled it there: but I felt asluimed to. 1 sipped my coffee in silence. The ^-olJen mo-ment passed, and my good angel took Lis flight. Prido Lad the day. 1 even began to be vexed at his enjoying a good dinner so niui-h. and so easily forgetting what had c;iused me so much suffering. He was very-busyon that day. and did not stop -with me as long as usu-al to chat, bat went off. whistling even more cheerily thin when-he c-ime.

I went up into the nursery and sat down to think it over. Baby was asleep; the rain WHS pattering against the windows: the wind was rising, and to me the world looked dreary— dreary enough. I had tired myself all out getung up such a dinner, and now the excite-ment was over, and I felt tLo reaction, I began to a-sk myself what I had got for it. J ast noth-ing at all. Sly husband either did not or would not see that there was anything to be recon-ciled about. I blamed him for his insensibili-tv. 'Once,' thoug'nt I, 'he would have notic-ed any change in my voice or any shadow which came over my spirits, now I can really be cross to him and he does not miud it at all. _

- 1 had a dclefvd afternoon cf it. I was rest-less enough; trying first one employment and then another, but finding nothing which would suit. I went down to tea. farther, if anything, from the right point, than I had been at noon. I sat (Irjected and silent. My husband tried once or twice to engage me in conversation, without success.

'Annette,' said he at length, ia a kind tone, •do not yfiU feel well to-day?'

•Not very,' said I, with a sigh. •What is the matter?' '5 fy head aches; the baby kept me awake

almost all night." This was the truth, but only in part, and I felt guilty as I said it.

Then he begged me to go and lie down on the sofa, in the parlor, and said he would read to me anything which I would like to hear.

I felt this was kind in him. It was like old times; the new times, you see. bad been but a day, bfut to me it seemed very long; yet it was not what I wanted, I wished to have the trouble cleared away, not bridged over; and I deter-mined to hold out until it should come to this, and he should see and feel that I could not be made happy after a cross word, without a scene of mutual contrition and forgiveness; so I would not stay and be read to, but told him I must go to bed. I left him in Lis easy chair, with Lis study-lamp and book and bright fire, in regular old bachelor-style, and went off into my nursery, and then to bed, and cried myself to slecj). You laugh, Kate, as if you thought I was a fool. I think so myself now."

"How did it all end. Annette?" " I held out a week, becoming every day

more and mere sad, and sulk-y as I may well call it. When I was left alone I used to take my baby up and cry over him as if my hus-band was dead, and the child was all that I Lad lefl; in the world. Dear me! how unhappy I was. and every day added to it. I would find something in his conduct to pain me ev-ery time we met. Either he was too atten-tive. or not attentive enough; talking too much or too little.

He bore my moody ill-humor most patiently, thinking I was ill. One day he came home, and told me he had obtained a week's leave of absence, and had engaged a carriole, and I mtist pack np myself aad baby and be ready to start off in an hour. He was going to ^ e me home to my mother's. 'We may ^ -well have a journey as pay Dr.'s bills. Annette.' said he; "and as to have you drooping about in this style any longer, I am not going to. We will send off old Bridget, lock up our house, run away from all care and have some fun.'

He looked up so kindly I could have fallen upon his neck and wept my hear out, to think how og ly l had been; but there was no time then to talk it over. "5 hurried away to pack, but before I was half through with the pack-ing, I resolved that I would.tell him the whole ^ r y from beginning to end. The moment I came to this determination, the load was gone;

he noticed it as soon as I joined Lira at the ap-pointed hour.

. .Why, Annette,' said he. 'getthig ready has cured you.— We may stay at home now. '"

"That will do. Kate. The rest of the story will sound sentimental to a third party."

"No, no, Annette, that would be leaving oul the very cream of it. Tell me how you set-tled i t . "

••Well, we rode on, enjoying the change till towards dark. Baby then fell asleep. I t was a very uuiet hour—everything about us was beautiful aiid peaceful. 1 felt deeply, and 1 longed to have all in my heart pure and peace-ful. Tears of real' penitence came into ray eyes, and before I knew it, they vre.'e droop-ing down upon the baby. My husband turned and SHW them."

" W il is the matter, Annette?" said he. '•(_••. 1 am sorry ," said I. "Sorry for what, love," said he; "are you

cot happy? Does anything trmi.M.- TOU? " " I am so sorry ," s^iid I, " that I have been

so ugly this week." " W h a t do you mean? " s.iid he. '•How can you hoip knowing?" said 1.—

Then I began at ti e beginning and t.ild the whole story, llow I feeling irrital)!!-, and was provoked tospi-.-.k thejirst cmss u-onf, Low be told me my t!iini,'s wire n.;; as nice as his mother's, and went o8' vexed; tl-.cn how he got over it, and forgot all about it, and would nut help rae to feel good-natured by saying h<-sorry. How I had broodtd ovvr it all the week—^Low it Lad festered away in my heart and poisoned all my enjoyuu-r.t. What tor-rents of tears 1 had slit-d when alone, as 1 thought it was all over with us, and we never should love again as we had once loved.

He heard me thr.-iugh without making a sin-gle remark, and tiion he burst intoa loud l iugh. " I want to know, Annctto," s.iid he, ' if this is what ailed you this week?"

" Y e s , " s«id 1. Upon this l.i' clicckL-J our Dobbin, and began to turn ro-.i;;-!.

" W h a t arc you going to do?" saiil 1. "(ioing back," said he, "if this i.- all wiiich

sin was confessed, I fel' very happv; but 1 puUsd tlie other rein and drew ilie wliip lash over Dobbin's und away lie went like a bird towards my niothir 's Lome.

But we made a resolution then, l\:i'.c, that if either Lad aught ag;iinst tl otht-r, it should be settled before the sun went down; that we mi^jht _ sleep, if not at "peace with all the world." It lea.st at peace -n-ith f-ach olht r, for-giWng and forgiven. This resoiulion we have r.'ithfully ki-pt. and I have never seen »noilit-r week of sui-L misery as I have been telling you about, and I trust 1 never shall. I Lope yoa will find in your new rt-latif-n, Kate, all tlie enjoyment we now do This i.s the l.e»t wish I can offt-r you—and lh;it yuur lirat cross wurJ m i v also be vcur la.'st."

1st. In the "Model Church" they were se-lected and ordained and tlie particulars there-of plainly given.

2d. The spirit was as particular in giving a suitiible character for this office as any other.

3d. That a church composed principally of Gentiles has Deacons in it, and a strong pro-bability that its .system was the numerical sys-tem.

4lL. There is neither precept nor example of the abrogation of the oQice.

Sih. Th.-it even the limited community sys-tem among the churches now demand such officers, not as "an apperu/ofli: to the Ministry," but as he^ps to the church and the furtherance of the Gospel, that .ill may "be done decently and in order."

Our conclusion is, that, it is a necessary Scriptural oliice, .ind should be perpetuated.

Rubber Shoes.

The New York Journal of Commerce, in an interesting article on the manufactures of Con-necticut, -ivestlie following account of the man-ner in which India rubber shoes are made:—

"Contrary to the general impression, India rubber, in the procc!=s of manufacturing, ianot melted, but is passed through heated iron rol-lers, the heaviest of whieh weighs twenty tons, and thus worked or kneaded, as dough ia at a bakery. The rubber is nearly all procured from the mouth of the Aniazon. in Br.izil, lo which ;«ir.t it is .- ent fiom the interior. Its form, upon arrival, i-: generally that of a jug or pouch, as the natives use clay moulds of that shap ' \ which thev vt pratedly dip into the liq-uid caoutehac, till a cotitiog of the desired thietness accumulatef. when the clay is broken and eni]itied out.

B r . O T I I K R tiKWE.--:—I'v-'^uiiipui.'u-I i lmay appear I frel to mak'> a tVw remarks in n-fi r-cnce to "Dt-acons or no Di-acuns." Un-.li-r the above caption Kro. .1. B. Evans writ, s; and if I understand him, he thinks that the aul'iiority for the Deacon's ofHce ceased with the natural existence of the Apostles. He enquiies, "Where do we get the .authority for the ordi-nation of such an oSeer"?" "If it was not in the sotting up or organization of tl:e cliurch where do we tind it and under what circum-stances"?" After these questions, si-emingly, to evade the e.xample a.s given of the "Mod--l Church" (.\ct5 G: I-7)ivhich a sunciay scho-d child but ten years old could have given l\im, he refers to the '.'bitter spirit of persecution" which brought about the neces.sily of adopting the "comraunitv systep.i" or policy. "The ne-cessity for t!'.e=e appoin'-meat= grew out of this policy, having 'all things in common.' " "B-JT after the days of the x\po5tles and after the church became numerically strong, thi.s com-pact of property was abandoned and with its abandonment the necessity and au'.hority f j r the ordination of Deacons."

Let us consider tliis a iittle. Has the church no "community .•system" noj;'? Il certainly hiUs. And while it is "numerically strong" has it not "things in comnion?" To v. hom do the various houses of worship, !o'_s, i c . , be-long? Certainly to the church. And are they not "things in common".'" But we have a plain example of Deacon.s being Felected ard ordained, and that too in the "Model Church," and by divine aathority. "All power in Hea-ven and earth" was giver to Christ. He said, "Go teach ail nations—teaching them to ob-serve all things whatsoever I have command-ed you," ifcc. And if the choosing and or-daining of Deacons were not one of the "all things commanded" what was it"? The Lord blessed them in doing it for "the word of (jii>d increased, and the number of disciples multi-plied in Jerusalem greatly."

When Paul speaks of "spiritual gitt.s" (1 Cor. 2,) of which he would not have the breth-ren ignorant—assuring them that they are the body of Christ and members in particular, then says, "God hath set some in the church, first Apostles; after t.hat, miracals, then gifts of healing, helps,"' Ac. Aside from the git'ts here mentioned by the Apostle, there is no other than the Deaconship that answers so well to be referred to as helps. What else is there in the Bible that he can refer to as help» but the Deaconship?

Again—if Bro. Evans' position be true, did not Paul do a work of supererogation in writ-ing a part of the first epistle lo Timothy? He describes minutely the iiualifications of n Dea-con. Now if the ofnce cea,sed witli the Apos-tles, what use is that part of the Epistle to us, or even to any since the days of the Apostles? Surely there are no redundcncies in the Scrip-tures. Birt the church at Philippi certainly had Deacons with them, for Paul addre.sses " ' the saints—with the Bishops and Deacons." This church was composed principally of Gen-

(•rincipallv white le.ad and sulphur, to give it I bodv :ind tirmcess. Those sheets designed

for -iLi'i-s rf shoe.-", are passed under roHers hav-i r^ a diamond tigiirc d surface. From these tlie sol 's are cut by hand, and the several pieces rei|iiired to pnrf.ct the shoe are put togetlu r by ft-mslrs, on a last. The natural abhesion of lii- rubber joins the seams. The shoes are next varnished and baked in an oven capable of holding about ^,000 pairs, and hea-ted to about ;iOU degree.i, where they remain ~even or t -iglit hours. This is called the "vul-canizing" process, by which the rubber is har- j dened.

Ur^e i|uantily of cotton cloth and cotton flannel is used lo line shoes, and is applied to the s'lri'ace of tiie rubber while it is y t t in sheets. Xol a particle of any of these mate-rials is lost. The scraps of rubber are remel-ted, an<! the bits of cloih are chopped up with a small quantity of rubber, and rolled oul into a substance n'sembling pasteboard, to form the inner scle. The profits of this business have been somewhat curtailed of late, by the high price of rubber, which has «'aried within a year i"rom twenty to si.xty cents per pound. 'I'he demand, however, is very large. A species of rubber shoe-s lined with fl-innel, '3 extensive-ly used in some part-s of the country aa a Eub-stilute for the k a l h e m shoe."

Sir Daviil Hn-wster makes the following re-rnirks rtlalive lo the structure of the sun:

*'So stront^ has btcn thf belief that the sun c?m not hv a habitable world, that a scientific gt^nileman was jTonounced by his medical at-tendant to be ir.s.ine because he had sent a paper lo ihe Ivoyal Society, in "which he main-lained ' iha : ilu* light of the sun proceeds from a lien'^e r.nd universal aurora which may afibrd ample light to the inliabitants of the surface bcneatb, and y t t be at such a distance aloft as not to ann-^y tht'm;* that ' there may be watt-r and dry land there, hills and dales, rain and fair weather, ' and 'that, as the light and the seasons must be eternal, ' the 'sun may easily he conceived to be by far the most blissful habitatipn of the whole system.* In less than ten years after this apparently extra-vogant notion was considered a proof of in-sanity, il was mr.!ntained by Sir William Uer-schell as a rational and probable opinion, wliich might be deduced from his own obser-vations on the structure of the sun."—Scien-Ofx': American.

-NSTITITE,

GOOD —It is stated that Mr. Xo'.an of Xe-iv York, formerlv of the city of Dublin, has invented and patented a paper-making machine and pulp, by means of -which paper can be made and furnished to the market at a cost of about fmir cents per pound. Dr. Antinsel's chemical knowledge brought the pulp to per-fection, and if we may believe the statement, it will cost in its raw state not more than a sixth of a cent per pound. The editor of the Long Island Vindicator thus sjieaks of it:

"The material from which the pulp is man-ufactured will flourish and grow abundantly in ground that is at present useless to farmers; and here, too, the community will be the gain-ers. We have seen and examined specimens of the pulp, and have no hesitation in pronoun-cing it just the thing wanted. I t is as clear as the most clearly bleached cotton, and is capa-ble of the most delicate tint. The harshness and transparency of the straw paper is not to be found in it, while it is capable of the highest finish, mantaining all the pliancy and toughness of pure linen rags ."

C H E A P W A S H FOB C O T T A O S S OF W O O D . — For (he ouuside of wooden cottages, bams, out-buildings, fences, i c . , where economy is im-portant, the following wash is recommended:

Take a clean barr\ l that will hold water.— Put in it half a bus:hel of fresh quick-lime, and slake it by pouring over it boiling wat«r suffi-cient lo cover it 4 or 5 inches deep, and stir-ring it till slaked.

When quite slaked, dissolve it in water and add 2 pound.s sulphate of zinc, (white vitiiol,) which may bo had at any of the druggists, and which in a f^w weeks will cause the whitewash to harden on the wood work. Add sufficient water to bring it to the consistency of thick whitewash. 'ITiis wash is of course white, and as white as a color which we think should never be used, except upon buildings a good deal surrounded by tree.s, so as to prevent its glare, wi- would make it a fawn or drab color before using.

To make the above wash a pleasing cream color, add 4 pounds yellow ochre.

For Fawn color, take 4 pounds umber, 1 pound Indian red, and I pound lampblack.

To make the wash grey or stone color, add 4 pounds raw umber and 2 pounds lamp black.

The color may be put on with a common whitewash brush, and will be found much more durable than common whitewash, as the sni pbate of tine seta or hardens the va th .
