MOSOH, I will huve mercy on whom I

will have inorey, and I will have com

pa.i-Hion on whom I will havo coin

passion 8o then it is not of him that

willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of

God that showeth mercy. " Here the

apostle controDia iho uhjoctor to sueh

a doctrioo, and exelaiiiis in the 20lh

verao : " Nay, but, O man, who art

thou that rcpliost against God ? Shall

the thing formed say to him that formed

it. Why hast thou made mo thus ? Hath

not the potter power over tho clay of

tho smiiu lump to niako ono vesaol to

honor and another to dishonor?"

Read versos 21-24. So, also, in Kpho-

sians i. 5 )i, speaking of tho election and

prcdostinution of the KphoaiaQ Chris-

tians, I'aul says: " Having prodosti-

nated us unto the adoption of children

by JoHUs Christ to himself, according to

the good pleaaare of his will, to tho

praiae ol tho glory of hiagracc, wheroin

he hath made u» acoepud in the be«

loved." In tho firat verae of thia ehap

ter the apostle r<howa, too, that God'a

sovereign choice inoludea the eharaeter

of the ehosen, namely that they

" should bo wholly and without blame

before him in love."

This ia enough (or the present., I

have presented only a few out o f i

multitude of ' passages to show that

God'a election . is absolutely soTor-

eign and indopaiident of human merit

or uoiion, whether that election is

natural, olTudal, personal, or charac-

teristiu , and I want to i<ay that such

eleeiion In one case is just as objootiun-

able as in anoihi r, if man is to find

fault with it at all. The principle in

the same whether God typieally i booses

the .Jew and rejects the Gcntllc nations,

whether he officially raises up Moscs

and ca«tt8 down 1'haraoh, or whether, in

salvation he makes known " ihe riches

of his glory on the vess. N of mercy "

and shows hi.s " wrath upon the vessels

of wrath Qlied lo dehtruction " God's

elei'iion is sovereign In my next I

will show further that it is uneondi

tional (iKO LoKTifN. • • • —

By Whom was the Kingdom ol God

Set Up 7

" In the days of these kings shall the

God of heaven set up a kingdom. "

( Dan ii 11 ) I think a littio reflection

will show us that "God " in this verse

is not Christ the S,»n of God, hut God

the Father of Christ While it is true

that Christ was very God and very man

the Scriptures everywhere tnako a dis-

tinction between the three persons in

the Trinity, a.ssiiguing to each a separate

place and work in the plan of rcdcmp

tion. In this plan Christ, th-iugh equal

with the Father, was not the Father,

but subordinate lo him. He did not

C(>uiii to do hi.s own will, but the

Faihir H who sent him Ho did not

pray to himself, hut Ui the Fa'her,

thereby recognizing his snpi rior placo

and power in ihis scbomo ol redeeming

the world. Christ himself disclaims

the aet of setting up the kiugdom. " I

appoint -into you a kingdom a« my

Father hath appointed unto luo a king-

dom ' (Luko xxii. 2!) ) God would

have had no appointing power over this

kingdom had he not aet it up, and if ho

had tho power it could not have been

excreised (excopt potcntiall) )4>ofore it

existed.

What ono does by or throagh another

be does htmsolf Wo say *' the Bap-

tists built a certain ehurob house." I t

may bo that not a Baptist touched a

pieco of timber in it, but it was built by

their direction and with their means,

and, thcrelore, it waa built by the Bap

tista. God sot up the kingdom, but of

ncoessity ho employed human agenoy?

Who was his agent? Let us bear

what (^hrint Hays on this subjcet: " Lo I

(be kingdom o( God is in tho midst of

you " (Lukexvii . 21, marginal read-

ing Authorised Veraion.) A B<pt!i,t

church can not bo in tho midkt of a

oomniuoity before it has an existenee.

The kingdom of God oould not have

been in the midst of the Jews befire it

actually uisted. I f we would learn

how long - i l had. been in tho midst of

them,see Mait. xi. 12: " Fromthedays

of John the Baptist until now the king-

dom of heaven suflftreth violenoa.iuid

the violent taketh it by force." Lake

(vi . lU: " The law and the prophets

.Wfre.until John : sinoe.. that, ^me the

kingdom of Ood is preached, and every

man presseth into it." Thai f |

does not«x.tal oan not be taken bjrl

or otherwise. Before a oitji' oan bs

uken by an enemy it moat be litl|lt.

A house that does not exist ean «o,l be

entered, though there be ever to miuh

timber prepared for its ounatrostl^B.

Cbrist further says, in M a t t X t L S l ,

adJressing the priests and e l ^ n : " I l i a

publicans and harlots go iBto,,tM,kijB||-

dom of God before JTOO.'' Jotia

7. 1 Samuel xxx lt>—When the .Vma !

lekites had burned Ziklag and taken I

the women captive, David pursued and i

came on them, " eating, drinking, and I dancing," etc. This was purely a soldier j

dance (another stag dance), a dancc in

tho midst of their spoils of war. There

is not a shadow of evidence that a single

woman participated.

a 2 Samuel vi. 14, 10-When David

brought the ark of tho Lord from the

house of Obed-edom into the city of

David he danced before the Lord. He

danced before the ark of tho Lord as it

waa carried along the way. His per-

formance was entirely religious and in

aecordanoe with the worship on eeruin

ocoaaions. He failed to have even one

of hia wivee with him. One of them

saw him from a diaunoe and oriticized

hia dancing in suoh an iztravagint

style, thna betraying a popular senti

teriie even the religiooa dance.

9. Job xxi. 7-lL—" Wherefore do

the wicked live? . . . . Theyaend

a partial deaoription of the proaperity

it ia aald " their children danoe." Bat

there ia not aa intimation that they

daneed in any other than the prevailing

atyle, the aexea aeparated.

Again we have a figurative use of

"dances " describing Israel in her res

IH. iiamentatinns v. 15.—" Our danoe

have a figurative use of "dance " that

describes Israel in her sorrow.

17. Matt. xi. 17, and Luke vii 32-

" Wo have piped unto you, and ye have

not danced ; we have mourned unto

you and yo have not lamented." In

this Jesus describes the generation to

whom he wait talking. Thoy said John

had a devil bocauso ho came not eat-

ing and drinking, and they said tho

son of man was "glaitonons, and a

wine'bibber, a friend of pnblioana and

ainnera," because he came eating and

drinking. Jeatts aaya thia in them ia

What a terse, admirable sermon by the

Savior lo this woman of Samaria'

H»—" The woman sayeth unto him, I

Hir, I perceive that thou art a prophet."

"And many of the Samaritans of

that city believed on him, for the

saying of tho woman, which testified.

He told mo all that ever I did." Some

are ready to say that testifying is not

preaching. Paul says of his work at

Maeedonia that ho testified both to the

Jews and also to the Oreeks,

repentance toward Ood and faith toward

our Lord JCNUS Ciirist. (AoUt xx. 21.)

If this Samariun woman did not preach

neither did Paul. They both testifiud.

(Acts xviii, I.) After those things

Paul departed from Athens and camo

to Corinth. AoU xviii 18: "And

Paul after this tarried then yet a good

while and then took hia leave of the

brethren and aailed thence into Syria,

To believers tho Lord Jesus is ovi

than lose bim Martyrs and confessors

have actually given up all for Jesus

times without number; history bears

this witness abundantly. Tons of thou-

and life sooner than deny Christ. To

thia day we have among ns those who

dare to go forth into tho fever country

for his name's atke, not counting their

lives dear nnto them, that thoy might

of Christ is pcrcoivcd. Vuu can not

see Ghrist by mere reason, for tho nat-

ural man is blind to tho things of the

Spirit. Yott may a'udy the evangelists

thomselvea, but you will never get to

aee the real Chriat, who ia preoioua to

believera, except by a pcraonal aet of

(kith in him. The Holy Spirit hoa re-

and she was so hnnorable that she was

allowed Ui wash bis feet with tears, and

wipe them with tho hairs of her head.

I Thus was sho a hand-maid in tho courts

' o four f fod , A roan had been a thief,

' but he believed while dying, and lo '

I ho was tho first person that Jesus re

ceived when he came into bis kingdom

— he was so hnnorable. The Lord

changes the rank when he forgives the

sin. Thon art dishonorable no longer

if thou believost in .Icsus Thou a n

honorable before (Jod now that be has

become thy salvation

Further, lot mo notice that it is a

high honor to bo a.ssociated with the

Lord .lesufl. When a valiant man has

achieved a great victory, every body

likes to claim some connection with

bim. We have real honor in beiog as-

sociated with our Lord Christ in any

capacity It is an honor to have washed

the feet of his servants, or to have given

a cup of cold water to one of his dis-

ciples. Simple trust and grateful serv

ice make a link more prccious than

gold. Did men laugh at you for Christ's

sake? That honors you with hiih.

: Did you suffer reproach for Christ's

truth ? It is well thus arc you hound

up in the bundle of life with him whom

you love. The day shall como when i t

shall ho thought to bo tho highest

honor that ever was to have been de-

nounced as a bigot and oa<)t out as a

troubler for the sake of Christ and his

gospol.

It is an honor to do as Christ bade us

in his procept^. Iloliness is tho truest

royalty. I t is never a disgrace to any

man to bo baptized into his name, or to

como to hia table and break bread in re

mcmbranoe of him. The virgio'a ad-

vice is aound—" Whataoover he aaitb

unto yon, do it." Obedience to Jeaua

is no discredit to any man. I t ia an

honor to " follow the Lamb wbitberao-

over bo goeth." Take thia as a aure

word—aiu ia diagruoe, but holineaa i^

honor.

Before you go away rWduld l ^ j o a

to consider how yod atand. J i i tbta ^ t -

t«r. Do yoa believe in Jeaoa ?,' t f )foa

do believe, be afraid of nothing., Come

forward, and oonfess tba( aaorad'nufme.

Own that you are a follower of ^ e

Lamb; and then,in tbe dayiWheo'he

distributes crowns and thronM, his will

have a crown and a tbroine for yon.

You at tbe rcaarrcotion ahall wake up

in him to glory and Immortality.'

S M V R N A — E A O L B V I L L F , — On last wnck I took tho stage at Nashville for Smyrna church in Marshall county, with a view of taking a eolleotion nn Sunday to aid tho ehuroh at liowisburgh in building its house of worship. I

strengtiiened tho church All regret-ted his leaving so soon and will be glad to spo him again. Since be left 1 have been able to know more of the impres-sions made than I was while the meet ing was going on Some individual cases arc very encouraging, some of whom wo know nothing about when be was hi re I hope and pray seed were sown that will sjiring up in a glorious harvest < tf c u r s e sonio opposed to experimental religion, look opportunity even on the streets to try and counter mand ony good impressions made. But when the work is of God, man can not stop it ' Me that sitteth in tbe heav ens shall laugh, tbe Lord will have them in derision." I beard of some talking on the street saying, " You might as well talk of changing a tnan's ' gizzard as his heart ' Poor creatures seem to think the heart spoken of in Scripture was an organ of tbe body, or a gland. Such ignorance! sad! I t reminds me of the old negro preacher in slave time who belonged to an Kpis-eopal clergyman. Tbe master said to him one day, " . loe, there is no such thing as a change of heart ." The old negro looked at his master earnestly and said, " Master yon ought not say that, you ought to say, not us you knows o f "

Our Sunday school is doina very well. I believe it gets bettor all tbe time. Congrogotions at church service good.

Oscar Haywood, is an able and humble preacher He does not hesitate to declare tbe whole t ru th with boldness. Baptist prtnoipies are being more thoroughly and favorably discussed by the citizens than over be fore in the history of this town.-

I have added these last few lines tha t the good brethren and sisters may know that their efforts to build up tbo Bap-tist cau'o in Greeneville have not been in vain, and wo hope within a few yeirs to be abln to do for others what has been done for us. Fraternally youra,

Trenton.

The second meeting of Trenton Son-day school Circle for this year met with KIdad church, six miles south east of Trenffln, convening on last Saturday, holding over Sabbath. Brother Thomas, our Sunday-school secretary, was with us giving us muoh of his valuable help. Brother Thomas preaohed a t I I o'clock a.m. Sabbath. His sermon did me so muoh good. " Son, go work in my vine-yard to-day." After the sermon a nice little oolleetion was Uken for S u t « mis-sions, During tho meeting a n n m i e r of praotical subjects were diaoussed, and I feel like muoh good was aooem-plished in tbe name of tbe Lord. Seven schools wero represented of tho eleven , belonging to the eirole, reporUngfivo hundred and thirteen pnpils. I n the consideration of qumtiona bearing di- , rectly upon Sunday-sobool; work, sy«- ,, tematio training was urged, aiid tha t to begin a t home. Tho annnal Sanday-school oonvention is appointed to eon* vone wi^h Milan oharoh Saturday be* fore tho second Sabbath in J u l y next. , , We are enoouraged with the outlook of the Sundsy-school work in o a r field.

Always with a throb of hcart ache

That thril ls oach pul«inK vein,

For the peace of homo again.

I m nick of the roar of "itiew.

A n d of faocs cold and girange .

And toy yearning fanoios raoKe

Back to the dear old houicNtcad,

When I go home aKain

When I go home ' Thcro N niiisi<\

That never may die away.

And it seeroa the hands of angrln.

On a mystic harp, at play.

Have touched with a yearninn Hailnoss

On a beautiful, broken ntrain,

To which is my fond heart wordin»r

When I gu homo again.

Outside of my darkening window

Is the great world's cranh and din

And slowly the autumn shadowH

Come drift ing, drif t ing in

Sobbing, the night wind murmurs

To the plash of the au tumn rain.

But I dream of the glorious meeting

When I go home again

looked ou t on tbe sbadelcss streets ol

Springvale, and the l ight d id not come

through stained glass, though pcrhapn a

genaine nature lover would have

thought tbe golden sunHhine beautiful.

Springvale is in one of the l>akota8, and,

although a " growing town," the church

society is neither large nor rich.

" The seats look dusty, and the tloor

is positively—not clean. I'oor things '

well ," she reflected, as the organist be

Helen thought the organ very Nmaii

She glanood around at the congregation

mostly women and chi ldren, one or two

young men and a very few old ones

" Not a ohuroh going town, evidently.

singing,

young lawyer, several yean previous,

and this was Helen's first visit to thoir

Western homo.

caruest the pastor was, though bis

hearers were HO few '

Kor an hour Helen amused both the

" B u t what am I t h i nk ing o f i* " she

Our Qiigoi Latter. < A.B I have ni ny friendi iu TennoBaoe «rho WQuld like to hetr from me, and alio to hear Bomethiog of ibis country and of tbe Baptiat oauae on thia Paoifio •Iop«, I thought I would write you a f«w linea oooaslonally, aud, if they should be thought worthy of a i>Uco in your oolumoa, many more will hear fVoui me through this medium than other «i«B

I lei\ eai<t Tennessee, my native land, on the ftth of taut September, and, alter a long, tedious, and tircaonie juurney uf eight dayM and nighu, I rcached this pUo«. Thesoepery on the rojto wu graud. We eawe by Corinth, Minii., thence by Mobile and Ohio railroad, by i'aii . III., to St. Louiti. thunoo (o St I'aul, whore wo took the Northern lU eifie to Portland, Oregon, u (lisiAnoc <il l,l*2l> milea without obanice Tliv Northern Paoifie runs through soinr lot OoaDtry, and some of the most ili* mal on earth, I itupposo PaN-iuiK through the bad lands of Muotana make* one feel like he wished he wen-dead. Iowa and North Dakota have •OUB fine prairies, but I had rather liv.' in Tennmsee than any country I uiw betWMD here and there. Every thinK considered, I think Oregon the bcNt oountry I have ever Be< n, but then I liu not think it filln the description that given of it The lands here are spien did tor agriculture, but not so good a they once were. Thirty years ago the) made three crops of wheat from one sowing, and harvested more grain tbr | third year than they do now the tirxt in fact, now they have to sow every | ^ r , and to get the best yield they niu.it enmmer fallow and only get one crop in two years. So you <ico the land hero has gone down by exce8»ivo oaltivmtion, and has also become exoeediagly GIthy Tha time was when they had no weeds nor wild oati*; nothing grew except what they put on the land But now they have a great number of pests. A few years ago they had no sch thing ai< flies or mosquitoes, but now they have them in abundance. Ax to the climatc, it ia not what it is recommended to be Spring, summer, and autumn are very pleaunt, but there is so much rain in winter that it makes it very disagrees ble. Wore it not for the sea brertos [ think it would be very unhealthy. I believe that Kast Tennessee has as pleasant a climate as this, though this is a pleasant and easy country to live in. It abounds in luscious fruits, such as apples, prunes, pears, plums and all kinds of berries, and it is unsurpassed for vrgeubles of all kind«. Money is very plentiful. We have two flourish-ing banks in MoMinnville where busi-ne«g of all kinda is well represented. I suppose you ooald buy any thing in MoMinnville you oould in any town of the aame aixe in your State. The natural scenery here is grand beyond descrip-tion. Mt Hood, towering some four-teen thonaand feetabore sea-level, with hia perpatnal snow, ia the pride of this oountry. Qo where yoo may it seems yon are not oat of sight of Mt. Hood. It is on* peoaliirity of this North Pa-oifio ooantiy that the atmosphere ia so oiear that yon can see farther than any where els« in the world. It is said that you can see three hundred miles with tbe natural eye. But I moat elose. In my next I will writo some-thins of onr Baptbt oause here. I go ths Isat of this week some sixty miles south to the orgapiiation of a new oharoh. J. W. Ouvis.

Again, a.t Je.sus and his dincipleN,

I'oter, .lames, an i .John, were dcsccnd-

IDK the Mount of Trans figuration, they

wore charged to tell no man what they

had seen. ' A n l hi.s disciples asked

him, saying. Why then say tho scribes

that Kliaa must first oomo ' and Jesus

answered, and said unto thcin, Klias

truly hkall oome and restore all things.

But I say unto you that Klias has como

These paaiiagca ahow how prevalent

tho view had become. Al l were eer

Uinly aware that Kiijah was expoetcd

sented as leaching tho same to tho peo-

ple. The interprelatioa waa an old one.

.An old and venorabln tnterprntation is

not necessarily a true one. The habit

of tnkins the Iraditional meaning of a

pa.ssage of Scripture and from this pro-

pare a sermon without as thorough ex

aminalioii as poHsible as lo i be real

moaning is an unp>rdoniible ofTenso,

one thai no paslor should be jruilly of for

one moment, much b ss for yeais The

many Nyhteuis of eeelo^laMloisin to day

are attributable lo the false iiiterpre

tations Dion have injde of (Jods

word. This will become evident

to him who will give a modicum

of lime lo the hisionoal dovel ipm -nis

of tho various systems of church or

ganizations now clamoring for recogni-

tion as ohurchos of Jesus Christ. I t is

a comfort to know, however, that most

of tho old intorproiations arc in tho

main correct. But no prnaohor has any

right to take it for granted that they all

arc, or that a single one is Withgram-

mar and dictionary and a good degree

of sanctified oommon sense, ho roust

study (ho pawiage as if it had not boon in-

terpreted by any ono before him. When

he has arrived at the meaning, or has

hcoomo convinood ho can not get out

tho meaning, thou he may turn to his

" helps," but not before. In the spaoo

allotted to tho consideration of taUo

inWrprotation not one word has yet

been said about the other two sourcos

of error in Heriptural atudy and ro-

ligions life. Huperstition and tradition

arc potent factors in tho equation of

human life, and nowhere do they as

aort thomsclvea more powerfully I ban

in our study of Ood'a word and in tho

discharge of Christain duty. But their

- (J.id N oloction of the sinner to

eternal life is unconditioual.

This secoud part ot tho proposition is

closely akin to the first. I f election is

based upon >)od s sover. ign grace it

must bo unconditional—that is, grace ia

freely boKlowed and made otToclual in

the salvation ol the sinner according to

• iod « elective purpose, and without any

iiiHrii or motion ot the sinner. To be

sovereign elootion must bo uncondi-

tional, a-id to bo unconditional it must

be sovereign. I f there is a single con-

dition upon which election is ba^ed in-

dependent of (iiid's sovereign will and

pleasure, then election is not uncondi-

tional nor sovereign, and the whole

theory of election, according to tho

statement and theory of the New Testa

ment, would bo proven to be absurd.

But let us go to the Hcripturos to settle

this as we settled tho first point.

I'aul, speaking of tho Jewish nation

as rejected in favor of the Gentiles—

though typically still Uod'seloot people

says of them, persorally, Uom. xi. 5, (J:

Kven HO then at this presoot time also

there is a remnant according to tho

election of grace .\.id if by grace

then it is no more of works otherwise

grace is no more grace. But if it be of

work.s, then it is no more of grace oth

erw ise work is no more work." Hero

the condition of *ork is excluded, and

grace- (iod's uniiieriied luvor bestow* d

upon a merilless sinnor—is the sole

ground of election in its application t«

tbe lost, ruined, dead sinner. There

Niill a " remoaot" among the Jews

saved by (Jod's elective grace, and ns

among the Jews so among tho Gentilcf

I'aul says to the Kphcsiana, ii 8 : " B y

grace are yo saved through faith, ant

that not of yourselves : it is tho gift o

Ood ; not of works leat any man shouU

boast. For we arc his workmanship,

crcatcd in Christ Jesus unto (not on

account of) good works, in whioh Ood

before hath ordained that wo should

walk in them." Here it is made oloar

that by gracc, and heneo by elootion,

" good work " is the result and ovidenoo

ol God's creative work in us, quioken

ing us (Kph. ii. 5) from tho death of

sin But some will say: O yos, we

grant that "good works " aro not aeon

dition of elootion, but faith is. J^l^t.lM

SCO. Kvcn faith, in oonneotton w|th

salvation by gracc, is pronounoed by

Paul tho "g i f t of God," aa in tho

pnssaiio quoted above; but both I'aul

and I'otor put tho subject at rest in the

following passagss. In 1 Paler i. 2, wo

find this language: " Kleot aooordiiig to

tho foroknowledgo of Ood the fiather,

through sanetifloation of the Spirit unio

(not on aooount of) obodienoe and

sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Ohriat."

Paul adds, 2 Theas. ii. lU: " But we are

bound to give thanks alwoy to God for

you, brethren beloved, beoauae he H i ^

from the beginning ehosen (eleetod)

you to salvation through (not oil' M*

count of) sanoiiHoation of the Spirit

and belief of tbe truth." Po l '

ting I'eter and Paul together, eleetion

is based upon Ood's foreknowUdiM ittdi

purpose (from the beginaing); iaeffeotnd

through spiritual regeneration aad'lr

belief of tho truth; and itaol^Mtive

point is reached in the applieadon of

Christ's blood to the heart and in tke

resultant obedienoe of the ainner—the

sovereign graoe of Ood being the iol*

and only ground upon whioh tbe work

is projeoied or effeoted. Paul imte it

succinctly in 2 Tim. i. 9, when be eajV

ot God, Who hath saved na, and Mlled

us with an holy 04lling, not aeoordtag

to our works (our faith, or good deede,

or holinesss), but aooording to hiaowa

purpose and grace, whioh waa girei w

in Christ Jesus before the world beffan."

Kleetion is solely aooording 'to Ood'a

" purpose and graoe," and so of hia e(>

fectual " oalling."

Henoe, we find auoh passage* as

these, Aote xiii. 48: "And when the

Gentiles heard thia, they were glad and

glorified the word of the Lord: 'and m

many as were ordained unto eternal life

believed." Here faith ia th^rifidltot

ordination, or election, aa ure good

works, and so of character, Unto whioh

also God chooses, the saints ' So Ohriat

said, John vi. 37 : "Al l that the Father

givcth me shall come to ine; and Mm

that eometh (thus cometh) to me I vil i

in no wise cast out." "Nomanoometh

unto me (John vi. 44) exce.nt tbe Pa-

thcr draw him," said Joaa^jandbe

said again of tbe unbelieving Jewa that

they believed him not beeanae tl>ey

were not of hia sheep. (John x. 26 )

" Yo have not obosen me, bat I have

chosen you," said Jesus to his diioiplee

(John XV. 16); and in every inatanee 6f

election, in' the whole Soripiareei

whether national, offioial, personal, or

oharacteristio, it will be found time

election is unconditional, baaed npoa

Ood's foreknowledge, pnrpoae, and

grace; through the spirit Of God regen-

crating or aanctifying tbe believer; and

unto three things: faith, obediraee,

and holineas, not on aooount of then.

Kleetion is even unto, not on aeeonnt

of, the blood of Christ; and if the

atonement ia a part of the objeot, and '

not the ground, of election, bow eaa

faith, good worka, and holineea be?
