TE4CUINaS OF THE ORDINANCE OF BAPTISM.*

BT REV. UBHBT O. TCCKEB, ATIASTA*, OA. "As many of yoa M teva teaa kapttaad Uto CkrM hava

pat aa iairlat."-<Jal. uu V. TT is tbo duty of all who kyr« oar Lwd J a m

Cbrtoi ia sincKity, to pablkh that fact to the world. I michk ahow that thii is n from tba word of Ood, or 1 might show it oo ratioaal rroaods. I might arga, amons othar raBKsa, that withoat thla public profoadon, oaa onald not exert that infloaaoa which ha owaa to tha canaa of hit Savior and hia Ood. will not dwail oa thia poiot, bat will aoppoaa'it to ba eoaoadad, that thoae who raaiiy do tMliora on J a m Chriat, and are datarminad to aervo falm with aiDgteoeaa of heart, ought to maka tha fact known.

There are varioaa waya in which thia paMicatifn might ba made. It might Iw made ia aoma caaca through the newapapen. Oaa might maka it known by oral commanication to each of hia Iricnda indlTidaaiiy; or ho might announce tha l^t, either io penon or by proxy, on (»a or more occaait^a, before aome popular aaaembly; or it mighL, perhaps, be- madle known in tho oouraa of a long time, by a devout and Christian life, without any expree declAral ion of change. ^

If it ahoald ao happen, that of aU tbe variooa LoteiaMnzth^S^tooarn, tbwahoald

only ob«y who do "thaa." Ia the commiaBiaQ which Oirtat^vaa to hia mlnlataca, haaaya, "Oo ya Into all tb« worid, aad prawA tba g c ^ to aveiy creatora, baptiaiiq; them in tba aama of tba Father, and of tba 9i», aad ot iha Holy Ghoat." W« Bnd that tbaapoaUaa, aeUag oa thia aommia-aioo, alwaya bapibnd panooa aa aooc aa thoiy baliavad oD J a m Chriat. Tliaaamadaty iafaiBd* iog on aa, wbetKar «e lae tha raaaonahlansaa oflt or cot. Tita axpnoa command of J a m Chriat la raaaiw eooogh for tha doing of anything, withoat isqaiiiBC farther. We iaare from tha Baiptom, howavw, many important adTantagaa whldi aaoiM from thla partkskr way of pabUahing o-Iklth in the goapat of Chrtat.

Baptiam la a aymbol addnaaad to thaaaoaei. aadi it ia murh more impraaiva than any oti. expiaarioa of tha tnUba tt ia daaignad to taacii. Wa all know that impreaaiaaa oo tbe aye are Wronger, and more iaating, aad more Inatiactivs, than thoae made on the ear. A kiplara oo cham-iatry, for example, however able and locki It may be, convttya but little information to the miodB ot tbe hearen, ankaa acoompaniad tiy expetimaats; and even what knowledge it do« conviqr ialik«Iy to be cpeodily forgotten. Bat let the actual exper-iment be performed before tho eyaa of the papil, and be aodmtanda dearly and In a mwaeat that which wad tnit faintly comprehended before; a i ^ havinx seen aa w ^ aa heard, an indalitile Imprea* aion ia made on memory. Jt was douUle» In in ohaervance of thia principie{ that «hen oar BavkK wiahed to inculcate a ehUd4ike i^rit, mH

that tniy. The Sak way, la the one which the Chriatian ought alwaya to cbooae. If it ahoald ao be, that Ood haa prescribed a particular way of doing it, we nuy be sure that that is the best way, and we are boond toad^pt it fora doable reason: 1. Because it is the best way, and 2. Becauae Ood has prescribed it, either of which would bo auffi cient without the i^ier; but if both exiat together, tlie obligation woufd acem to be, iu aome aenae at least, of doubie force. If, in addition to all thia, the lionl had shown ua why it was a mora excel lent way, the obligation to adopt it would tie, if possible, stronger still; for in this caae oar re as well aa our conscience, and our allegianoe to Qod, would each be a^wrataly appealed to. Wa are bound to do It as Qod'a creature*, bacaoaa he haa commanded it; aa moral beings, becaua* our moral aenae requirea it; and aa intellectnal IwingB, ixetuM our rcaaon a^irovea It.

The ordinance of baptiam ia tba method of pab> lishing Ckith in Jraua Chriat which haa t>ceo selected by InBsite Wisdom, and enjoined by tho Almighty on ail hia people. "Thua," said oar Savior, '*it becotnetb ua to fulQll all righteona-nera." Thua—that is, in this manner. Wliat he was then doing, it bacumoi all hii people to do. lie waa aubmltting to the ordinance of tMptlam, and Itia people " thua "—that ia, in the same way —ahould fulfill tbeir righteous obligations to God.

Every teptiamal wave is eloqaeat with lnatmc> Uon.

Let aa see what are aoma of theao symbtdical teachinga, and thus we ahall be e to appradata the uaea and beatiea of thia heaven-ordained insti-tatioa.

1. Here ia a wachiag, a total ablotioa of tte whole body In water—an element which pos-

w the deiigbtfui propnrty ef daaming. It it «hat cbemista c.ill a upivmal aolveut—an ele-ment ucdcr whoec magic inOueiicc every kind ol iiupority ia divolvcd and patsm away—an eietfif nt! whoae touch makes ctean. Inspired by the thougbt of parity, may I not wander a little fnwi tte subjfxt uf my d^eoetae t How teppy a thing it it

Fstrdon tte eplaoda. Yet pemepa H ia aot ao great a digrenioaiiomtteaal^eclotoari: forthareltaproiitietyaoda br:wty. such aa taste of Ood aMwovea, in tte adecUao of Xliia puiifying, claanatng, relishing, deilghtlai alemcut as tte inatmment of bapQam. Tte pimdwr, of aU otben, should teve dean handa aad a pere heart. Water ia a prcacher, and it In ita. vety eaaana purity itadf, and tte ngont of uolvaoal daanU-neaa.

Bat to reUtra to the polat. Hera ia a waahing of tte whole body in water. Yei it is a nligioua act. Aa aach it muU; te for tte teacfit of the aouU Yet water cannot deaaae tte aoi>{,Bor even touch IL But the act aymbjbliatlly tte aoni aaada deamiag. It la a pnctlcal eonfea-rioB ttet tte aoal la deffiad. It it aaying to the world that withoat a waaliing. a total WBdbtag t.>f aoma aoHt tte aaot ia nnfit for tte klagdout of God, where all ia immacolate. it ia a washing of tte wtete body, mhiA atewa that tte aoa! ia stained all over with sin, and that no jaurt of It is unpoUnted. Let me not ba aatiaSwi with a sym-bol which abowa tbiU my aotd it only apoltr^, aa tt ware, with aln, and need* osly a partial dwn*-Itig. No. If tte aymtel would cxproa tte aanti-moit of my h w t , let It ahow that my vbaiii aoul It corrupt, and ttet then b no daaaaaM in IL Let it te a aymbcA-iriiieh caatrot te miaasulatitood. Let it be ooe the mcanii^ of whirJ^ io qtite of tte narrowest conatmction, will even yet te com-prehetiaive enough to cotw tte whole gmoBd. Such is teptiam. As you aoe the candidate go down into the «-»t«-r, be prodalms t»y that art, before men, beforeangeis, and beforeQ<jd, undMn, uscieao, all over! Uere it a aermoa, taiqti a.ud sinners, which yoa may lia well to tlstea to,

Tim aptmtnlic chnrchea could not h a w obaerred Uib» onllnaur^ aa PaoJ ilelivtfvd it unto tbcm,

mUnB i t e r had ofaaerred it as a church ordinaace —I e., by one church only, and with the members of one church only.

But Uie chnrchas did obwrve t h i s aa weii as the (rther ordinanca, as PaoI deiivpred them, becaiue be praiaed them for ao doin^;.

To Um ehnich at Cwiath ho wrote,— " I praiae yoo, bretliren, )K>cai»c yoa keep the

<mlinanceaa« I delivered them an toyou . " (1 Cur.

To tha chnrrh »t Culuwa he coatd say,— njoicts befaoidiog your order and the aia-

b i U t y d ' y o i i r W t b . " Thech 'o tcha t Tbcnalonica bs only exhorts:— " S o thim. bro thnn , stand Ann an<l hold fast

the ordinances yoa were taught, whether by our word or latter.'*

Which clearly implies tb«y had been, and aUii WW, b i thfo l in their crijaorvanco.

Bat aappoaa I grant that bo did not d d i vor it to tha cbnrcbaa as a church onlinance, aad ryuitwl izing tba lelatloiu of all the participanta to one and tboaama charch.

BtUl I claim that tha positive instructions I>ttul gkva to tba chnrchM forbade them fruw inviliog to tbair tatrfea the mambora of all existing efaarcfaai, without ixvaonAl knowledge of their fidth or cbameter, aa i i the practioo of this age.

H a pUcsd tha Suppar under the sole custody of each ehutcb, and commauUed it to purge away* from It all laavan of UAiica ot wickedness. IJa tanght ttiam that faiaa doctriiia of all description, and all angodiy coadoct, ( l Cor. v.). and all works of the floah, (Qai. v.), was leaven that must not ba allowed to dafllo the foa.<)t

Now we ciiarge jrou, brethren, in the namo of oar iyird Jeaua Christ, to wilh<lntw from errry droiAtr who walka disorderly, and not according to the iastmctira whicfa you have ruceived from

u" (X ThooL lii. 6). If it is claimad that this wa.i tpokcn to the

charcli with raferenco to hor own members, I will giant it, and demand il it does not t^quaily tcacli tliat thoaa not members walking diwrdbrlyabouUi also be withdrawn f rom? That there might be nadwUMaaatWattUa wraat** Uut U any on« obey not oar word, .<igBify that man by ao aiUaUa,* «ad Bava 'no c o i a ^ n y with him, that Uo may t o •aiiamed." All will admit that this command forbade thorn to invito ail false taachen, as well as anaoand and disorderly brethren, to tho Lord's •upper.

Paul had C»ilhfully warned this church agaiait a certain doctrine aa subvernive of thq gospol, and called U " leaven ," and against ccrtaln teachers, whom he called " W s e brethren," admitting ihem to ba chorch-ioaaibera, and they even claimed to ba a ^ U e a of ChrUt. He thus speaks at them :—

• For such aa are faUo ainaitlpt, deceitful themwilvcs into apcatlW of

Cbrlst j and no marvel, for KaUo himpolf It trans-

g r e ^ Uing if bia ulnlstars also ba t rausf-miM aa the ministan of rightcousneaa." (S Cor. xi.

Though t h a n were eburch mpmbera and pro-Awed mbiiatart. yet they were the enumies of the croas uf Christ, whoso rnd was dntruclion. (Phil, lit II) .

Tha doctrine which Paul lo reprobated was, that the a«>nlilc%, as well as the Jews, must needs ba circumcisM and keep tho law M.jsoe, as well aa lo bciieTe on ChrW, for salvatiun — a Judaised Christianity.

Jsdra tsnght t h e brethren e n d said. Except ye be pircum<*i-»«l af:er the nianner vf Mos«, ye cannot Ije.-avcd." (Actaxv. 1).

The church apjointed brethren to go up lo Jerusalem . n n d inquire of the aposUee and elders if this was the true doctrine. They found a strong |iarty which endorsed it:—

" But there rose up certain of tba srct of tba Ptiarir-M which believed, [ihey were members in good standing], .taying. That it was needfai to circumt i-e them and to command them I i. e., the UentdtTj, to fe'-cp tho law of M(«c».'- (V'eraeS).

After " ajucb deput ing ," a letter was agreed upon condemning the doc-trino. This is a clause of i t :—

" Forxsnauch as we have hi'ard, that cortain went oulfn>m U9, have troubled you w i ih worda, sub-verting yoursuuis, saj'ing. Ye must bei i icumdsrd and keep t)ie law, to whom wo gave no suuli com-inaudeut."

Ilere is a frank conftaoion on the part of this church that thcso heretical brethren belonged to i t , but it did not do its duty —cxciudo them —or the Uoulilo Churcbw would uot have bctn troubled with them. This leaven allowed to jetuain duon leaveneil t h e whulo lump, for some eight years a terwardd, when Paul visited Jerusa-lem, James and t h a uldun cuntu3;fed that t h e number of Judaiz<id mumltera iiad rrachLd t o uiaDy thQU:MUila, and it seemi tluU it was hore that his tifo was imperiled by falso brethren :—

" For thou w«it, brother, bow many thousands of Jews thcru ara which t>clicvo, and tb»y aro all r-Mlous of tha law. • • What i« It then ? wliat is t o iM done?] f o r tha multltada must needs come together: ler they wil l hear tha t ihoo art come," etc.

That theM falso teachers and many thousands of bretiirun, who were accounted by PauI falsa, and whwoduct twe wu ; " l eaven , " were meml>ard of the church at Jerusalem, is thus ouf rssed by Jamtti and t l i o elders, and that Paul positively commanded the churches lo wiihdruw from them altugether, and to itave no religious feilowahip or oMocitUion witli them, and to purge them away from their tables*.

This point, then , is eHtabiishtHl beyond succvfs-ful contradiction.

TUB CHUUCU AT KOMB Could not have invited the members of the church at Jerusalem, nor thuec of the churches of Ualatia, to oai wlUt hor; fur thcea churches. If n o t filled with tncee Judaizing teachers, had thcmsoives been largely " buwiiciied " and " removod in to another goepf-l," and was leavened by tliis lierexy. Ht^ir f au l ' s entreaty :—

" Now 1 entreat you, brethren, to watch them who are making factions and laying snares, con-trary to t h o teaching which you have learneil, a n d /unini foy from tAem; for »nch like odm as Ihey are nut in subjrctlon tn our anointed I.ord, but t o their own up{)ctite; and by kind and com-pliinentaiy words, they deceive tha h e M s of the unsuspecting."

The command to /urn oiruy from theee and ail "such like ones," was ccrtalnly a command not to oat wi th them .

This mint be the conclusion of every unpraju-diced reader—that it would have been in o|>en violation of Paul's instractions for those churches to have invited all membcn uf sistar churches to participate with them in the celebration of tbe Sup{Nir, since ail thoeo " falsa brethrau," " faUa toacbera," " faUePiKMtlee," " u inia tersafUatan," " subvertem of tho gu«|>ul," " euomias of the crura wf Cbriat," tba vary ebarauters he cnmiuandrd tha cburciioA, iu tba uame of tbe Lord Jwus ChrikL, to " withdraw from," t o " avoid," to " have no cemiauy w i t h " —no, not to eat —l>o-longed to .I}^ptiat churches. There ai>rtainly cuuld not have baeu any inter-cwuimuni'm batwacn the churcbee during the lifetime of the apoatin.

CHANGES.

OUR readers will see Bro. Soarcy's farewell In this papsr. The committee entrusted with

the qnestioa of a State paper by the OonvonUon, have decided to make the %-entare, and Bro. S. doas not wish to occupy a position that would be oonstmed into opposition. We give him a hearty band-shake in parting with him. Oar association for the post years has been mast pleasant We have agreed on all subjecls aa nearly, perhaps, as any two thinking men ever did. Ho has enjoyed onr utmost confidence as a man of honor, and a Chris-tian gentleman and devoted brother in Christ. H e shall ever have our prayers for highest asaful-neas and bappineas.

C. B. UBSnBICRSOS. Onr readers will also see, this week, a name

tdded to our corps editorial wUh which they are already familiar, and whoso productioTM have always been not acceptable, bat prised by Jhem — Dr. C. B. Uendrickson, of Jackson, Tenn.

Uls Is tba pen ot a ready writer, and seldom has he written a line that he has reason to wish nn-written. A» a facile and forcible writer, h® hmm few equals, and as a scrmonitor, no supfrier in the State. Unr readers will sgree with u« that his connection with this paper is a drcided acquisi-tion. He will more especially lo-jk arter and sec that the missionary enterprise. State and Foreign, tbe Sunday-school work, and our University intercets, have their full share of attention. It will bo »ar united etfort to make the psiper, in every respect, all that the needs ol the denomina-tion demand. While its rtliglous " News from tho States " will be full, and all our Stale interwU kept before tho people and advanced, the jwpir will In the future, as in the past, aim to create and enoourage sound denominationsi principles and policy, withaut which all-claims of "pro-greaa " is deaeptive and frttuduUnL

Tho spring is opening, and wo earnestly call upoa every friend of the Old Banner, both within and withont this SUle, to aid us in adding at least I.OOO new Lsinea to its list. It will enlarge the sphere of iU usefulness, and strengthen the hands aad hearts of Us editors and publlshCis. Let all 000 what can bo done in the month of March.

DR. W . J . CROOK. r i X ) late (or last Issue, we received the notice of A tbe death of thtamgst excellent man, friend and brother. We knew him lo be all the tribute below teatiaes of his character. Ho was one of the first and bcht of men as a phytlclan and a citlxen, and Trustee of the Soatbweslem Baptist Univer-sity, at Jackson. Ills loss will be greatly flrlt by bU church and AssociaUon, as well as by his counUy. We U k e this from the county paper: " Ho was a fine physician, a splendid citlxen, nnd a noble man. He was the very life of his town, foremost In all good works and lending in all proper enterprises. God never wrote true iDsnli-ue!« on a nobler brow. In every rclallcn of lifo he

brave and true ami kind. A» a Poldior of the " lost cause," a.s a citiicn amid gloomy surround-ings. as a physician who went and come at the bc-hcBt of Uuty, and art a man. he was In every rela-

tion most exeallent. He lived to see a fait town grow up aroand him, a town tbat be did more than any man living or dead to ba i idap , a town whoae matchless morals aad qtlendid trade, is a fit monament of bis example, energy and eter-prisc." The last words of oar brother on earth were a Doxolc^-, " T o Ood be all tbe ^ o r y and honor and dominion forever, Anoen}" His first in paradiso were the same.

To Sister Crook and his aged mother we trader our profoundest sympathy—the hope of life and the staff of age has bMn removed—God is led as a refuge in time of trouble.

DB. JOHK D. SMITH. Through Bro. J . A. Crook we also learn of the

death of this aged brother, who for so many y e a n has been one of the most prominent working members of his Assedatlon and the strong pillar of his church. For years p « t Bro. a has been confined to his house, and a good deal of the time to his bed, and his departure did not take bis (aot-Uy by surprise. In tho languaga o( B ^ Crook, " B e was one of tba pioneaisof tha Baptist d i a r ^ in Henderson." Public spirited, Ubend« aa honor to the community and church la which be lived. He died on the SStb of January la great peace, as the perfcet man m Christ Jems dies. May God's blessings rest upon the s t rk^sa Camlly that Is loft to moam a father and husband.

This nnmiatakatilT, proves a second trip to

Troaa not recorded by Luke. I hope brethrao, on

the negative aide of this quration, will notice this

in particular., as from Paul's fiist trip to Troas In

fiO^to the time he wrote Lis Mcond Letter to

Corinth, was about six joara. And, If Acta xz. S,

does not prove that ha exhorted the brethren at

at Troa», I wonld be pleued for soma D.D., to

boneatly tell me, where "those parts," and

" t h f m " whom PanI exhorted were? if one of

the places or parts, and brethren, or them, were

not at Troas?

From here, after bidding brethren Darew^, he

want to Greece, thence to Maeedooia again, and

bade farawdi to the churchca aa be wenf, aa ha

and his company—(chareh)was en their way te

Jemsalem—having finished his work as a travel-

ing missionary. Now be eomea tha third time te

Troav, and hat a faw daya after " anieaven bread"

at Philippl. Thoae sent ahead, being Gentile con-

verts, did not Biay with Paul and other Jaws, aa

they d U not the Paanver. 8o the fltat Lord's

day after tte Paaaover eccurred, while they were

at Troas, and waa the time to cat the Jjord'a anp-

per, and ao Paul and hla tnvtilng church, cele-

brated the Lord's supper at Iroas and at the U«t

time Paul waa ever there.

W . M. IlA'i'MOSD. Pecan, Odita county, Texas. Feb. S, 1881.

TUUUI WAS A CllL'BCU AT TBOAS. 1. That th«e was a church at Troas, Is evident

from the fMt that there vna the material for a

church there; and, from the fact that whether

there was the material, the apontiic preachers. In

obedience to God's law, organised a church.

» Whnn I eame to Troaa to piMch OtirUt'a kos-iiel, and a door was opennl i« m- of i m o . " (S

boi. n. 11). 1. Paul was led by the spirit to Troas

to preach, lie did not lead hlmsell in Uie

work, but Ood led him. 2. If led by tbe spirit to

prcach thero, unless the spirit made n blunder, or

he disotMjrcd, he surely preached there. (Ho Ne-

ander sgreen). S. Gud there opened a door of

uKfttlnesE—to make converts—to Paul. 4. It is,

therefore, from these facts ezccedlncly probabla

that converts were made there as the reatdt of thla

brief stav. 5. Not meeting Titua at Troas, the

Spirit used to help limit hla atay there, to follow

hte leading to Macedonia. (Compare Aets

xvi. ^10 with 2 Cbr. 11.13, U). (a.) 2 U>r. U. 12

as above explained; (b.) tbe fact that ••betook

leave of them," provea be remained long enough

to have converts, and that ho did have them. To

bring out the force o ( " taking my leave of them"

—(QM/ojamoMtf, taking leave la tnm the verb

apoUuae. Boblnsoii says i *' In New Testament,

to separate onewlf, and ao to take leave, to bid

fiueweU." (X . T. Lax.) " T o bid fareweU."

(Eog. Gr. Con.) In every one of its occurrences

to the New Testament, It Is used for an affection

ate taking leave of fooiliy or brethren. Thus:

then took his leave (opo&uo) of the brethren;"

"bade them f*reweU;" "taking ;my leave of

them." (Acts xviii. 18, 21; 2 Obr. U. IS). The

meaning and usage of the Greek for taking leave

confine it to only such an affectionate taking

leave that It must refer to taking leave of, not

Grangers, but Paul's omveru at-Troas.

2. Tbe New Tntament records that thero were

converts at Troas at the time of Paul's visit re*

corded In Acts ^ (a.) The most reasonable pur-

poeo of the seven diaciplea going In advance of

Iliui and awaiting him at Troas, «-as to visit the

diadpica at Troas. (Bee Acts zx. fi). (b.) Paul's

remaining a week at Trois, aa rtc^ed in Acts

XX., in all probability, to strengthen and bet-

ter set in order the diadples at Troaa. In vcne

2nd we learn he was. In tittt round, espedally

engaged in giving " them much exbortation." (e. i

carpus, with whom Paul thwe left his doak and

parchments, seems to have been a disciple. (2Tlm.

iv. IS), (d.) " The disciplM there came together

to break bread." (Acts xz. 7). The man

who can inugine that these dlscipics were not the

disdples at Troas, hss the Ima^natlon of Don

Quixote. The facial have presented,showing

there were disciples at Troas; the facts that the

chapter disting^hes between the dlscipics at

Troas and tbe visiting brethren, by mentioning

the latter by names, with many other facts too

numerous to mention, settle it that the word " db-

dplcs," in Acts XX.. 7. certainly point out espec-

ially the disciples at Troas. Paul's going without

his baggage rather proves there were dlKlples at

Troas; (ose above, since) he would not likely tru-t

his only cloak and parcliments with the enemios

of tbe gospel. Remember tbit the uaoinvartni

were not then so favorably disposed to help

preachcrs as now. The statement that Paul

preached only on Sunday night In Troas is agalna

his practice, alnce, he would net spand seven days

with a people so anxious to hear him, as to mrs

for him, bis companions, his baggage, listen to so

tonga sermon, and, that seven about—if not so—

his only opporiunity of ever preaching to them.

Ills sermon on Sunday night is sapeclally men-

tioned, because It was bis last meeting there, and,

because of its aceompaniments. It Is then clear

that there w « e disdples residing at Troaa. Bap

lists agree that Matt, zxvill. 10, 20, etc., make It

obligatpry to organise aU proper material into

charchcs; so the first preachers did. Wherever

there wss the material, the first preachers organ-

ised churches. There wad the material at Troas;

there was, therefore, a church at Tioaa.

II. That there was achureh at T rmm is evident

from the fact that the disoiplea at Troas are re-

corded as meeting to observe the first day of the

week In church capacity. (Acts xx. 7). The way

this meeting is here especially mentioned, Is Justly

undentood by commentators and advocates of

the change Irom the seventh to the first day of tho

week an settling tho first day of tho week as the

"Christian Sabbath." It U JusUy regarded as

such by writeia eo cfc>«e communion, too—by

nearly alt—ea uodoubiodly <l.c^flln( K moating of

the chureb at Truat. It Is so recorded aa to leave

the Impression that this was the custom of the

church at Troaa. AUtbomoetlngsof thedlseiplee

recorded In the acta and the eplatles for public

worship were in church capacity. The disciples

St Iroas so met; thsy, thervfure, met In church

capacity—a church.

III. That there waa a church al Troas Is evident

from the fact that, " upon the first day oi tne

week the dladplea there came together tu break

bread"—to observe the supixtr. (Acto xx. 7). That

this was the Supper, Is dear; I. From the hict

that they are recorded as having met together In

order " to break bread." If this was a common

meal, It would not have been necessary to eome

together to take It; nor would It be especially

mentioned. 3. Its being recorded that they met

together on the " first day of the week to break

bread," moat certainly leaves us to no other oon-

elnslon than that this was the Sapper. The Sup-

per was never taken by any of tbe disciples In

apeetolic times where thero was no church. It

was observed at Troas; therebire, there was a

church at Troas. On the argument of this essay

WAS T U U B A CUURCn AT TROAS?—SUMUABT Or TUX AMOMBirrS PROARD CX>K.

The discussion of this question dosing with this

Issue, we propose to sum up the arguments pro

and eon.. In submitting tho question to the um-

plrea, *

TbeaSrmanta do not daim that it is anywhere

asserted In the Bcrlptarea that a church was ever

pUnted at Troas, or that there Is thoMlghtest allu-

alcnto one by name, or, to any one ns a resident

mitmber there; but It is claimed that the probtMl-{fu-sareao strongly in favor of It, and the drcum-

sUntiiil and iar<>rentlal evldeticn so dear, that It

amoanta to a moral ccrtainty that there was

cuurch thaeatthctimo of Psul's last visit. (Acte

T I E L S I B A 3 E * T 1 S T . 5 8 5

1. That Troas was a dty of hlsiorlcai and com-

mercial importance, and Paul viaitea and {danted

churches in such wherever " a door was opened."

2. That upon this second visit to Troas it is gath-

ered (3 Cbr. II. 12,13) that Paul lame fur the ex-

press purpoae of pieaching the goq>el, and that a

door waa opened unto him of the Lord, which we

are to understand means success in making con-

verts to Christianity, and that Pauldoubtloa bap-

tised these and organised them lato a church.

3. That Paul ovldently referred to brethren In

Christ and church members by " them " In tho

expression, (2 C!or. 11. 13) "SoUklog laavo of

tAem." 4. That It Is reasonable to supposo when there Is

material for a church, there exists n churrh, and

that wo find resident disdplw at Tro^s in the ex-

pronlon, " When the disciples came tog»ther to

break bread." (Acts xx. 7).

6. That this meal was tbe I^ord's supper, and

not a common meal; and, ther< foro, since the

Supper «8 a church ordinance—cannot be eaten

without the preaonceef a ihurch—there roust have

been a church at Troas, otherwise the act of Paul

and these ministers was In contravention of his

own specific directions given to the church at

Oorinth, which cannot bo ruverently supposed.

«. That Chrlatlaus of every age, learned ozposl-

tors and critics, have uniformly rpgardoil the pas

sago (Acts xz. 7, 8), ss probably, 11 not certainly,

referring to the Lord's Supper, must stand until

tho contrary Is proved.

That these consldamtions establish It as a moral certainty that there waa a church at Troas at

Paul's last visit.

THAT TIIKRR WAS KO CnURCtl AT TBUA8. It la urged,—

1. That It la not admltteil to bo prosumptive o(

tho cxiatonceofa church at Troas, bccau^Jt has

been daimid and belled by expoHltors and crit-

ics lor many ages, siuco they may have had a

theory te mainUln that required a church, to Ca

vor it. •

2. That thla argument is as potent to esUblish

Abr^pfwrabKM and a»(tyui(y of Infant baptism

since the vast majority of commentatora, expo«i-

tora and critioa think it highly probable, if not

certain, that there were Infants In tho household

of Lydia and the Philllpian Jailor, and others, and

also In tho church at Corinth from the reading of I

Cor. vil. 14.

5. It is denied that tho burden ot proof is upon

thove who hold contrary to the general belief, but

that it always lies upon the afllnnants of a pru()0-aition whatever that m.iy bo, and if they tali to

ustabllah their afilrmatiun by conduslve evidence.

It goes for nothing.

4. They claim that the first coosiCcratlon urged

by the affirmants la almoat conclusive against

them, for, If a church had liccn planted by Paul

during hla ministry In so important a city in Asia,

tho tact certainly would have been noticul i>y bis

faithful historian, Luke, when the planting of

churches In less Important places is meatloncd;

but there ia not the slightest allusion to any church

at TTioas, or any disciple residing there, by Luke

In tbe " Actsof the Apostles," nor by Paul In any

of hla letters, or by any other writer. This un

broken silence is falmost conduslve agaiiut tbe

general belief.

5. But the negative hold that tho aascrliou that

Paul ostabllshcd a church here the second tlnio he

visited Troas, Is pal|Mbly groundless, beaiuse.bis

SMond visit was his bul visit, and the esegcaces of

the afilrmants require a church in exlitteuco upon

his arrival at Tioaa on his last ml«ionary tour—

which was his second visit. Since this is tho

tbvughold ol the afilrmants tho following stubborn

facta are leveled against It :—

Facto .—1. It is assumed and admilhxl that if a

church ezisted at Troas at the time of Paut's.last

visit, be must have planted it during one of his

pnriou* missionary tours.

2.'Paui made but three missionary tours that

the Scriptures or his most critical biographers give

us any account of.

ats FIRST Torn,

a. In this, he left Antioch in Syria, the church

that first otdained him as minister and es^-ially

at a foreign missionary; took ship at ^uria ,

stopped at Sdlamis and Paphoe in the Isle of Crete,

theuoe to tho port of Attalia, teAieh mu Uit fwrthertU point he reachcd iwat, and scarce more

than half the sea distance fwm Antioch to Troas.

From this point, aner be had preached in many

jilstw In tho Interior, ho returned to Aotkich.

No one will claim that bo planted a church at

Troas on this Urtt tour, for ho did not vbit IL

SClUNU TOl'lt.

4. After a abort visit at Antioch PauI with Silas

started out upon his seeond grand foreign miwnu

ary tour, in whkh A« far the llr$t time eitiicJ froas. See Actd xv. 40, to verse \i in Chapt. xVi).

The question i^ did Paul proach In Troas even

oner during thla tour ? p^roas was a dty of Myssia

in <Vsia. He w as eaprossiy forbidden irfthe IMa (fhott to prtach the trord in Asia." WiiJ any one presume to say that ho did sin against.the Uoi -

Ghost?

But It is dalmeJ that Paul told the church at

Corinth that a door Ui-as opened for him of the

Lord at this tlmo to preach tn Iroat, and that he

did preach, and his Ubors were blcsMd of the

S|>lrit, sinners converted, baptixod and organised

into a church. This is moro than is credible.

Can or must wo bdieve that the Holy Spirit

strictly forbade him to prcach In Troas, and yet

opened a door tor him there, and, that l*auldis

obeyed tho Spirit, and yet tho Spirit blcBswI hU

dlsobodlenoo? One must believe .this who believes

lUul proachod in Troas at this Ume. But Paul

cspicotiy ft>IIs us thbt he made no stayot Troas,

but left " imme {ia ft)/ " for Macedonia. Otn we

bciic\-o that when the Ijord opened a door for Paul

to preach In Troas, he refused to enter, but left for

Greece where no door waa opened tor him? The

expUinalion of Paul'a statement in 2 Ctor. 11.'is

«tsy, iC the reader will uke the most obvious in

terpretntion. Paul was czplalalng his perturbed

state ol mind upon arriving at Troas at this time,

and, not findiux Tilus »ith tidings lor him from

the church at Corinth, he bad no rest la spirit,

but, upon a tloor bains .opened unio blm of tho

Lord, Ijo took Icaveof the arqualnt*ner9orMM>.i«

he had inado dunng the l>rlcf tiojouru, aiid went

Into M a c c t l o n i a — t h t t^ii door. Now, by referring back to the record, we can

sec Aotr and Into what p!aet tho door wu. 0{H<neii.

In a night vi!<lon he saw a man of MaKxionis

standing and praying him to coma over into

Macctlonia and help them thero, and Paul most

a»<unxlly gatberod that the Lord had called "

him to go there, and ho immediately left Troas,

without having prcacbcd a senuon, much less

gathered a church there. It Is worthy of uote

that the commentators who tcach that tho door

was openetl In Troas for Paul to prcach, refer trom

2 Car. ii. 12, to Acts xvl. 0, to this vision as the

opening of that door, tchieh opened Maeedomia to hiin, tmd not Tivat. This Is daimed as conclu-

sive.

PAUL'S TUinn AND lABT TOUR, AUD HIS liGlX)NU AKD LAST Visrr TO TBOAS.

He again, and tor the last time, starts from Anti-

och with the Intention, after visitingandstrength-

ening all the churchts, to go onward to Jcrusalon

and bear what alms he oouid collect lor the po<a-

sainU thmi. The account of this tour begins

Acts xviii. 21, to which the reader Is reli rred.

When about to nail from Grceos toSyria, tbe Jews

having laid a plot to intercept him, be resolved to

return through Maciidonla. W e submit the Bible

Union's version of tho record :—

" And there arcompanlcd him Into Asia, Sopa-ter. son Of Pyrrbals, a Berran; and of the Thcsm-•onians, Atl»larchu« andS«undus: and Gamlas of Dcrbe and Timothy; and of A«U. Tychfoos and Tn^ihlura. Th»>* having gone forwanl. were wnltIng Tiir U'* [ Paul and Lukel at Troas. Bat > [1*301 ncd Lukel sailed forth irom PhUlipi alt the d»yi nf unliMvenol bread, acdctroeto them at Trods in five dajs, where ««[Paul and bbeom paniona] abode seven days. And on ttte first day of the week, «f< [who but Paul and bis fdtow travdlcrs ?] having come together to bitak biccd.

• • And—raul—having come up again and broken the ivn<ad and eateo^ be talked a lans while, even until break of day, sod ao di^nttiid."

The careiol reader wUi see, J. That" the diwcl-

Vil«" of our common version is discarded tot

ttv-" In th«? latest and improved Gretk texts j ood

2. That tho " vx'» who came together that i utdoji

same persons that the last •• wo " reftxs to—L e..,

Uie companions of I^ul, and not to reaidvut dis-

eiplusot TrvKL'i. Aud the a.>ming tosether was

not of a K^ident church, a.«cmbUng fur Sunday

thU tact, the arj;amcut fnKU the the material of a

churi-h tv iuj; there, founded on the phrase, *'the

dl<cip!es" oi our ver^wn fails to the ground.

There being no church' at Trou, as has berai

shown, it CAt;aut be reasonably inferred that a

church ordinance ubicr>-cd by Paul and hit

fullow traveilers, since to have ceiebnted the

Supper among thcmM.-ivcs, ws a toctof ordiuauctt,

would ha\-e been to have eonlravened Paul's

positive instructions before given to the chnrch at

Corinth for all the diurchea. Bui thoe is not a

word that tuetMoi/j/ coaip«4s as to the condusion

that tho Lord's supper was Intended, in tho state-

ment that these traveiiers came te«tethcr that

night to break bread, since the pbssdv," Jtiatai arton," is nowhere used to dcaigoate the /.onfa

supper, but la used to dotignate a cwmwa ^aal,

lu obvious meaning here would I k , when Paul

and his feilow-travellers came l«igether for their

—the verb L«re Is not the one Ui«ed to d<*no«c

and jiince they were tu separalu in tiic moml&g, so

mained uneaten—or, If partly pju^en of, ajKm

Paul continued to talic to tiiU com]>Bny until

daybreak, when he l«tt on foot for Anas, Icavlug

his heavy baggage with C»iri>U3, his h»st, or pst-sonal friend, but no intimation is anywhere giVSQ

that he was a diisd;

The " brcatins ot bread " (v<«se 11) waa either

the delaycii supper or a *peeiul rrf«a«f, prepared lor

Paul after his six hours' discuundux^ud the resus-

dtatlon of Kutychus, or, podsihly, for the whoUs

party, since IVul was going to leave at daylight,

and the rust were galng oa board of the vessd

then in the harbor.

Finally, John was lianUhod to Patmos A . IX

Gt-CS, ten years after thla, and Christ, in addreso-

ing the churehei in Asia, through him, mentioned

but sseoi then In existence, and bis lauguairo Im-

idies there w m ; only seven then existing-" to the ae>*en churches In Asia," tt<.tl tu seven of the

churchm in Asia. Troas is not mentioned with

thoe seven. If a church was there, bow eaa this

be accounted for? It was tho most important

citj- of thera all. It w w in the very midst tsi them

all. This Is regardfd^ most dcdslv^^^iptuial

testimony against tiie diurch tlicory. it may be

added that history eastalns the pot^oo that there

was no church In Trcns In the first ccntury, and

that there were only the seven existing when John

Q. Now, air, have yoo made any exneriment la the bread made from Baking Powder, to see whether there was any soluble alomina in tlie breiui itaelf?

I have; I took a po^on of thla powder and mixed Itlwith flour in tlie directed proportlona, and baked a small loaf.with i t ; theo I waked this loaf — tho interior part of it-^in cold water, and made an extract, in which I readiiy detected, by the nsual test, alum — that ia alumina in a soluble condition.

A. Very decidedly objectionable in my emnion.

Q. Why do yoo say—ftom what system of reasoning do you make it out—that because alnm la lojuiioos, alomina is i^Jnrlooa t

A. becausa the I^Joiriooa afheta of alumina, whan it geta into the atea-aeh and reacta en the organs, are the same; thla hydrate of alomlaa neeta In the stomach the gaatrlc Jnlcea, and reacla with the same aa alam woold; It fbrma, in fket, a kind of a lun in the atomaeh with thoae acldi, and whatever alnra woold do, it woold do.

<i. What, air, two yeart ago, waa the prevailing opinion among aciea-UOc men. as to the eStet of the use of aium In baking powdera?

A. At fkr as my acquaintance with scientilBc men la concerned, my per-sonal o^Ialon Is derived from my In-vestigation and f^om reading; I sliould think the opinloa waa that alum, or any compound of alumina, would bo decidedly Injurious.

Q. Do I understand yoo to say that any baking powder la which there are aluminousaalti, or any resultant from alum which could be absorbed In digestion, Is objectioaal and Injnrl-ous?
