Onr Palpit. THE FRIENDS OF JESU8.

FROM A SERMON DEUVRBKO A0G08T 8, 1880, BY KBV. C. H. SPUBQHON. • Ye are mr ftrlenda, If ye do whalaoeror 1 oommand yoo."— John XT. 14. * BELOVED, U h the highest hoDiff in the world to be calked the friend of Oirist. There is no title surely Uiat exo la digtdty that whieh was worn by Abraham, who was culled " The ftiend of God.»' liOid Brooke was so deHghted with the friondahip of Sir Philip Sidney that he ordered to be engraved upon his tomb nothing bot this, " Here Ilea the friend of Wr PhUlp Sidney." There beauty in rnich a fceUng, but yet it is a amaU matter ooinpared with lielng able to say, " Here lives a friend of Christ." O wondrous conde-Hcension that be should call me "friend." VI am indeed a true believer, not only is he my friend, without wWch I could have no hope here or nereafter, but be hath in the aboundlngs of his race been ieaaed to regahl me as his friend, and write mo <iown in the honored list of intimates who are pennitted to spoak CunUiarly with him* those do between whom there are no secrets, fur their hearts are told out to him whilst he hides nothing from lhe>n, but s th, " If it W«e nt so, I would have told you." Beloved, in what a light this sets obedience to Chridt's commandments. I cannot 'h p at. tlUa early moment lit the aermoa

' ^S^iCTvis; ibr itl^^tM SSiTb ship, than (he poMwton pT.the laixertcMteaad does not iwy, !• Ye are toy frien<i« if ye rise to a insltlun of respectabiUfy - among men, or honoi in the ehurch." Nt how-itver poor you may he, and those to whom he iipake thffle words were very poor, he says, " Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I nxnmand you." Obedience is better than wealth and better than rank. Jesus values his friends qot by what they have, or what they wear, but by wLat thqr do. I. Iiet us come to the subject more closely, and notice, first, that — OUB liORn HIMSELF TELtS US « BAT OBKDISXCS HB RKUUESTS From those who call themsdves his friends. True friends are eager to know what they can do to please the objects of thdr love; let us gladly hearken to what oar adorable Lcml now speaks to the select cirtde of his chosen. He asks of one and all obedience. None of ns are exempted from doing his commandments. However lofty however lowly our rondition, we mostolxgrj if our talent be bat one, we most obey, and if wq have ten, sUll we must obey. Thoe can be no friendship with Christ anl« we are willing, each one, to yield him hearty, loyal service. 'Let It go round, then, to all of yon npon whom the name of Jesna Christ Is named; Ifenrcdled among tLe friends of Jesus, yon must berarefidaboatyoar own personal obedience to his Messed will. For-get not that even to the qoeen, standing on his right in gold Of Ophir, the word b given, " He is thy Lord, and warship thou bim.'? It most be aeUve oliedieoce, notice that •• Y« are my fHends if ye do whatsoever I command yon." Some think it is quite snffidoit if th«y avoid<«hat he forbids. Abstinence from evil is a great part of rigfateoosness, but it is nofenoagh for

fHeodship. If aman cansayi "lamnotadmnk-ard, I am not dishraoest, I annot ondua I am not a violator of the Sabbath, I am not a Uar;" so tu so good; bat snch rizhtaoosDeas does not ex oeed that of the seribes and Pbaxtsees, and tbey cannot enter the Icingdom. It Is well if yoo do not wllfnily traMgren; batif yoa are to lie Christ's friends, there most be fu mere than this. It woiddbeCapoor itienAaiip which only said, "I am your blend, and to prove it, I don't insult yoo, 1 tloa't rob yoo, I dont qieak evil ot yoo." Sarely there most be more positive evidejia§4o cerU friend^p. Ihe Lord Jesns t3iMst lays great stress aponposiUvedatta; itis, "if ye do whatsoever I command yoo."' At tha last day he will say, " I was aa hnngoed, and ye gave me it; 1 was thiBty, and ye gave ine drink." In that memoniUa twaity-filth of Mattbew nothing is said about negative virtues; hat positive actiona are dted and dwdt opon in detalL We are clear, tnm the wonling of the text, that the obedience tifarist expecti from as is contin-ue does not aay, "If yoa sometimes do what I command yoa—if yoo do It on Bondays, for intance—ifyoa do what I cmnmand yoa in yoor place ol wonbip, that wOlsnffice:" bat no, we are toaUde in him, and keep hisstatnteaeven untotheend. I am not now imadung workj aa the way of salvation, bates tlie evtdeooea of fel-lowahipi whidkiaqaue another thing. We mart mxk in evoy pibi all limes, aad nndet all dfcnmstanosnito do as Jesas bids as, out of a <tbei«frt aptritot taveieooa to him. Bmbb, iMBder.

tHnd mMfnajjHMy jMBBflMW if we are bla Meads.' ' Tliit oMIeaoe'mnst also bfr anlrenaO. " Y« are my friAdSi If ye do whatsoever X command yon." No sooner is anything diseoveied to be the subject ofa command than the man who is a troe friend of Christ says, I will do It," and be don it. He does not pick and choose which precept ne will keep and which he will neglect, for this is sdf-wlll, ania not obedience. I liaTa known some proliBaBOis to err greatly in this matta. lltey have been very strict over one point, and tbey have.Uamed everybodywho did not come np to their atrietness, talking as if that ona dnty fal-filled the «h<de law. Straining oat gn has been a very leading boslness with many; they have boqght a cfaoiee awoctmmt of atBriaenof the very finest net to get oat aU the gnats from their cap, bat at the aame time, m another day they bars opeoed their mouths and swallowed a can xHthoat a qoalm. This will not do; the test is. If ye do whatsoever I aommand yoa." I do not mean IhM ltttfe things are animportant; hur firom It If thqre be a gnat that Christ bids us strain oat, strain it oat with great dlUgenee; 4o notletamldgeeBeapeyoaif he bids yoa remove it The smaUest command of Christ may oiten be the most .Important, and I tOIWI yoa why. Some thl^ are graBl,edeaMy' great, and for many leaaooa even a fcypoctMa^ yofMwr will attend to them, bat tlwl may OB Ik'the minor Plants, whk bypocdtv«( ngt'tito Iba tna^ to nottce, since no bMiMHi SotM woold praise themforsbdoliig.

" Whataoevtar he ailth to yoa, doit" Only by an earned eadeavor to ciny oat the whole of hb. wiU can yoa live in happy friendship with him. and be indeed Us friends. Note w that this obedieaice is to be reoderrd as tourist hlmsdt Pat the wnphaatt on the UOlB'i I: ** Ye arc my frietds, if ye do what-soever I command you." We an to do these things* becanse Jeeus can mantis tfa«sn. Does not the royal person of oar Lord cast a vtsy atnmg light upon the necesBily of obedience f When we reftise to obey we refuse to do what the Lord himadfoommands. Whec the LcHdJaos Christ, the Son of God and oar Bedeemer, is denied ofaediencei, it is tzeaaoo. How can reheta agniaiA the &lng be His Ha}«sty's friends? Thepnsee|its of Scnpture are not the oommandmoita of man nor the ordinances of angds, hat the laws of' Christ, and how dare we deqsise than t We are to act righUy because Jesos commantls us, and we lovetodohiaplf«sare: therecsnbenofrieid ip without this. Oh, for grace to mrvti the Lord withgUdne»l tdoae this finrt point, it appears that oar Lord woold have ns ob him oat of a friendly qdrit Obedience to Christ as if we were toned to do il onder pain and penalties would be of no worth as a proof otfrienoship; every one can BBS that He apei not oC ataves. bat of Menda ; ha WioaM not M^iiiiaal%Bi iMt pi TwdrtHaantcr lofis of leward; that which he can anespt of Us friends nmst be the fhiU of low. Hit wOl mint be oar law bees use Us pesson is oar de%faL SooM protessMB i»ed to be whipped to their dBties; they'mast hear stirring sermons, and attend exdting meetings, and live noder pteaore; hot those who an Christ's friends need no spar bat love. " The iovs of Christ oonstraineth w." True hearts do what Jesas Uds them without flogging and jtlogging, urging and iordog. Con-strained viiti is qwiM In the making, aa many a piece of emlbcoware is cradted in the baking The wine of our obedience most flow freely from the ripe duster of the aoal< love, M It will not be fit for the royal cap. When duty beoomM delight and precepts are sweet as omlses, then we Outofs friends, and not tiU thVu IL Having thm act'forth what kind of obedi-ence Christ requests, I now notice, in the aeeood place, that our Lord leads ns to gather frrxo this sentence that— THOSE WHO DO XOT OBET.HIX ABB SO FRUCKD8 OP HIS. He may yet look upon them and be tltelr friend by changing thdr hearts and forgiving tlnlr sins; bot as yet tbey are no friends 3f hiSt fivaman who does not obey Cbrist does not give the Savior hts proper place, and this is an unfriendly deed. If I have a friend I am very careftd that if be has honor anywhere, be shall certainly have doe respect from me. If bebemyaape({ar.I.«m anTiowthat he«hoald not tUnk meintrosive, or imagine that I wtsild take nndne advantage of hla kindoeaa. He wIQ be higher in my oleem than in the regard of any one daa.

Th i s b the tlUe of a book by "J . B. Gravw, LL. D." It has received notices from aevrarai

writers.- There have been cxprewilons of warm aoMbval, and some expreasions of disapproval, ciiceming the author's podtions. I bad not intended to write a line, but alas, I have been called on by the BAigiauM Herald to give my views, and if I fail to doao, my moUves may be inisnndentood.

It b generally expected that a reviewer wiU find some mult with a book, and Dr. Kendrick oncefiusetloualy remarked that " t o x ^ a book 1»fore one reviews it violates tho tlrst canon rf criUdsm." I have violated »the first canon " to whicb Dr. K. iionlcaUy refers. I have read the book before me, every Une of it, and what think of It wUl beseen in thtaarUde.

I must, of course, find some liMilt My first complaint, then, concerns the price of the book 11.18 a small volume of two hundred and sixty two pages, and the price a do/tor/ Thb b an excesdro charge, and wUl, I fear, be In the way ot the wide circulation to which the merits of the volume entitle it.

There b another reason why those words ought not to have been used: They are " not pul-verized," as the boy said who quoted some Latin without tnndaUng it. The book fa to be read by good brethren and sisters who cannot teU whether the quotatipn means, " I bought an de-pbant," or something ebe.

Some coUatoal mdtcn were brought in to the very good leason t ^ they couki not be leltout. For example: T h a t ^ dobaptbtOTganiaattans, though popnlariy caUed churdwB, are not diurebes In the Scriptural snm ot the word, that immeidoos adminbtered by pedohaptistd are not valid, etc., etc.

Anyone c a n » that " An Old Landmarit Be-se t" (the name of a eertdn Trad) ImpUca that siKh a Landmark which once stood had lUlen and needed to be raet. The Landmartt atood to New England to cousidetably more than m cen-tury. Therewasnoexdumgeof pulpltbbetweM BapUsta and PBdobaptbta then.

Thb subject ludawent iraigthy tovestigation, and fi-naUy was decided againM inritiifg.'' Pages 201, 202.

But enough on thb point. The early Baptists of Uib dwctry did not recogniae PedobapUsb preacben as goepd ministeis; or, if to any caae there wassnch recognltkm, it was the exceptioo and not the rale. This, I think, b made hbtml-cally undentoble in the Imdc under review.

Havtog refmed wilh the heartiest approval to Bro. G.'s able ddience of the Umdmark posilkm as nndentood to 1804,1 must now say the view be pnaente on " totercommunlon between Biqt-tidchniches' ' has n(AhIng to do with that pod-tfon. •Whether sucb totncommunion b r l ^ t or wrong b a matter about whldi brethrai have differed and are Ukdy to dlfler. The late Bev. A. F.

Thb b tbe reason why an ordatolng councO dioald be respedable in num-ber as weU as to dtaracter, so that the rmsrd tofiu-ence of l b action may bdUtate the exercise of Uie coorteay to which I refer. N^w, if Bn> Gfaves b through cmirteiiy permitted to admto-ister the Load's Supper to a church of whieh lie b not a member, then I say that the brethren of " sbter diurdieB " may tluroagh courtesy be tovi-ted to commune to a cbnrdi of whtdi tliey are not members. So much for tbe argument on cour-tesy.

Alter all, I care very Uttle for tbb qoestlnn of intocommunicA. If the whole thing should iit<q> to-morrow I should have no tears to shed; tf the pndice conttouts as it h » done to the past, so long«BI Uve, IdiaU make no olijection.

LOGiCAL AXIOMS AND T H E BEIilUlODS H£RALD.

We may lUoatnite tha principle of all Logical affirmation aif J definition by the following exam-pie: We will take a conc^tt, or daaa-notion which weeaUx; thecharaeteiaa, band e w e will think aa iia'conatUuentti.

We can, therefore, affirm any one or all these marks if Mammnl, and alab that the nun of the marbi ia equal to it. But were we to omit ooe of the marksi, we would have something dUfemit bfMu the notion Mammal; for example we wtU o m i t " aockling their young;" then we would have an animal which ia in Us comprehen-alon IcBB than Mammal, and therefore not equal toiL Thla mark being dropped we can no longer i<mtn£iit«h the Mammal from other existing, at-ganised Sentienta.

Mow, what b true in these examplea ia abo trae with tespect to chnrch or any other word which can be defined. Aa reapecti the word choreh we may find some difficulty In poinUng oat its original and eseeutiol marks or characters. Bat this pethapaaziaea llcom theattribationa whkh p^rttmrw have made to it rather than to what is impUai when a n d by Oulat and his apostles. When oar attenUon la directed to a word that we may know ita meaning, w« mwit perioral a three-ftildopenUlun. We moat first of all consider what w« think; L e., what is comprehended In it.

why we think so and so and not In any other manner; in o t h a words, how the thoagh'ta an boosd together as reasons and consequents, TbeOririiof theae is ascertained by definition, by which the subject defined Is distinguished firom o thn thingl. Thia'prooBsa Is merdy analytic. In »hich nothing is given explicitly In the predicate wddlningmemfaaa which is not s t a i n e d im-pUdtlyInthesutt{ectormembadd!ned. Should the defining membra contain lear than Umj sub-ject, they cannot pretend, to be Its equivalent

The church Is an assembly composed of a certidn k i n d o f pcaaons — bdievets in Christ, saved per-sons. Omit this mark or character and we have an assembly, it id true, bat not a churA of Christ, f(K one of the original and eseatial marks or c h a z a i i ^ is wanting, and it cannot therefore be equal to the assemUy designated by the w«Md church. Were we to accept an assembly called a church as aach knowing U to be wanting in any <me of ita (Original and esential attiibates, we ahoobl not only disregard the will of CJhriat, but we woald vSoIatea fundamental law of the human und<xstanding—a law which dedares the impos-sibUity of thinking the concept, or common name, and its characters as reciprocally unlike. We cannot make that which is lem than or un-like x equal t« x . Nor can we makean assembly which Is w a n t i ^ in any of the essential marks or attributes of the church of Christ equal to it.

Wemay be told th'U this is k^;icaUy true, but i t is not so when applied to r ^ ^ o o a and mwal Buyects. This sounds strangdy, since it is Im-pussU^ to think a thing and its constitnent de-ments or chaeacteristlti as reciprocally nnllke, or, to think a thing as unequal to itself^

We readily grant that the operations of the thinking iaculty may be " contingently modified by the coexistent powers and afTections of the mind; " a n d that " they are obstmcted by indo-lence and waiped by prejudice and passion."

thffie, aa whatever exists mui4 exist in some de-terminate mode, that is, it most have one or m<w« qnalitieH. Therefore, every object is thought aa a determinate object only through tbe qualiUes ap-pertaining to it, and by means of these it b oum-parable in raspea to its nature with other things and is distinguished from them. Tbe chnrch is compared with o t h a things and distinguished fh>m them by means of its qualities. I t may be as>ked.h«c, if this can be done witboat observing the requirement of ia law of Pare Thought, called the Axiom (rf Non-ContradicUon, in which lies the prindirfe of all logical negation and distlnc-Uon. Those who understand the principle of negation and disUncUon, wiU assuredly say no, as they very well know that an object determined by the affirmaUon of a certain character, cannot tie thougbtthe same when such character is deirfed of it. If we affirm that the church Is a spiritual body, we assert tbe relation of agreement between

But these are accidental p ^ e r d o n s of the under-standing wUch JLiOgic does not i^gard, as t h ^ {ooperly belong to the science Fsycholc^ . Logic takes into view only those .fundamental and absolute principles to which aU thought necesarily subject and without which they cannot pretend to validity and truth. H<mUt(Mi says, " Man can reoo^oize that alone as real and assured which the laws of his understanding sanction."

I t is a matter of astonishment that men of high position and reputed learning should hold that Logic is too formal and ri^d for a subject so full of tenderness and sympathy as reilgicn: that its axioms are too stem and unbending to be applied to subjects which are gentle and gmclous. What 1 shall we disregard the Laws of thought when we ti^qm^^ t e n d e n m mod love I abi^ rriigian and nmaoa a t v o r e a d , ^ shall vre d l ^ r d the pttn cipleu which protect us from error imd falsehood and which will remove them If they have al-ready crept .in when we try to discover the will of Chiig the Lord? Must we when studying religion and moral questions reject the axioms by which the most complex web of thoughts may be reduced to simple syllogisms^ which being done their truth or falsehood comes at once into view ?

Those who know nothing nor care to know nothing of the necessary laws of the human nn-deiatandlng may consent to do thew things, but those who remember that the religion of the Bible was revealed to rational beings, and that this rdigion is suited to meet the neccsities of their condition aa such will not conscnt to prop-oedtions so unreasonable.

The Christian rellgioQ is addressed to rational beings, to such bdngs as concdve. Judge and reason; to snch as classify, discriminate, affirm and deny; to those whose mental preceaaes must conform to the necessary laws of the human mind. T h a » who misconceive the nature and province of Logic may suj^KMe that It alois to extend and amplify science Iqr the discovery of new &ct and tbe accnmulatlon of new matter; this, however is not Ita parpose, for it only cUdms to detect the rdatlons subsisting among these new ftcts and accnmnlated matwials, and, and t h b it can only do as It follows the Laws of the Under-standing.

Those who accept the formula of Logic affirm nothing without a reason - * ^ n s t ever look upon the otjcctions to applying Logical axioms to moral and tdlgipos qoestitps, asa tb l tnry and In-consisient.

If we think of an object, tdlgioos cw m(»al, we most think of It as having qnaUties by which we d i ^ g u i s h it fh>m other ottjects. So, if wethiidc of chnrch, we most discrindnate from other things and this must be done ^ means of Its distinguish Ing marics, for It cannot be said to exist without

the two terms, which is equivalent to denying the relation of disagreement between them.

If the right to apjJy Logical axioms to moral and religi(»» subjecte is denied us, ih&a the gov-erning principles bi all affirmation andnegaUon, in all definition and disUncUon are denied ns, and then the right to reaion at all upon these subjects, for be wbo reasons, upon any subject whatever, must do so acccmling to I q g i ^ axioms. To de-cide otherwise. Is to be unmindfoi to say the least, of the real nature of L(«ic. Logic does not con-sider the nature of the objecU submitted by the snbsidiary to the elaborate powers ot the- mind, but restricts its consideration to the lawra accord-ing to which the relaUons of agreement or disa-greement is affirmed; every science—theology and e t h t e included —must therefore obey the laws of Logic. " All inference, evolnUon and concatenation must be conducted on logical prin-ciples, which are ever valid, ever im|)eraUve and e v u the same." Why do we say these axioms cannot admit of proof? Simply because their truth is presupposed in every act of reasoning, in fact, proof la impoaslble unless their truth is taken for granted.

Ono of the great masters in the scicnce of Ul.-caralve Thouaht, aaya. In •peaking; of Loeical ax-ioms, "They mnst te recognised by all an mere truitma, because they are thus self-evident, and because their tmth is acknowledged and acted upon in every form of thonght which we have ever experienced."

Logic presuppose that men reason and It seeks to unfold and explain the laws Involved, and to guard against mistakes in thinking, in religioas and moral, as well as other subjects. So there is no retLson for limiting logic to the consideration of some subjects and to the exclusion of others. " I t cannot," saya Bowed," include all objects, and as it cannot possibly be shown why It should Include only some. It follows that it most cxcludefrom Its domain the consideration of the matter of thought a l t ( ^ t h e r ; and as apart from the matter of thought, there only remains the form. It fol-lows that Logic, as a special science of thought, most be viewed as conversant exdusive about the form of thonght." (Mr. Bowen quotes this frem Hamilton.)

It now appears that no reason can be given why w e m a y not apply Logical axioms to religious subjects. a .
