" ClTlz«M» OP LIHOOI>N : In conHlderatlon f tho siaaderous falsehoods circulated by irrueponnible aerlbblera, and in coiiglderatlon of or^anizwl mob violence to take iny life to prevent, tins lefe'ltltnato diacustlon of auricular coiii'ossion and kindred subjects, involving virtue, morality, civil and re-ligious liberty, and, in conHlderation of tho oflurlB now being made to screon tho would-be aSHassinB from merited punishment, I esteem It duo to my-self, to truth, to virtue, to morality, to God and my country, to etato a tow fa-ttt.
"1. I have not spoken, nor do I ever s|)oak, a disparaging word of any virtuous f»;n»ale, Protes-tant or Catholic. My mother was a woman, my wife is a wonaan, my daughters arc women, my Bisters are woineu; and, if rt-quisitc, I will, beJore tho going down of the sun, pour out my heart's warmest-blood In defenHO of outraged and insulted female virtue, I here repeal what I have said In form and substiiuce probably a thounand times; vlas., that if virtue has a cltidel on earth it is found in woman's heart, and that it never should be as-saulted by poisonous shafts of Romnn theology in auricular confession,
"2. I stand here to-day within forty miles of my old homestead ID Menard county, whore, more than sixty-four years since, I rested on my mother's arm when n«t two years old. Wittiin twenty-four hours I can produce wUnossns who have known me from the day of my birth, and who, under oath, will ccrtify to the purity of life and language, — except when translating Roman moral theology to meu. I am not respoimibhs for the obaoanlty of Soman theology. My business is to expose auricu-lar confesaion, and protect virtuq.frora insult and outrage, i 'dr this I will dare to do or to die. Thero. are not moii and devils cuough thissidoof perdition to lutlraldato me.
"8. I have been an accredited minister of tho Cumberland Presbyterian ehnreh for more than forty-fotar years, as. some citizem* of Lincoln will
'at test under oath. I have a right to discuss all groat moral questiona, including virtue, morality, oivil and religious liberty. . . '*4. I assert, fearloBs of successful contradiction,
* that auricular confession, as defined and.authorised by Boman theologians, has bean,.and is now, a weapon of intoleranae in (ho hands of the Uoman olergy, and a proliflo source of crime and licentious-nesii. -
"6. I am In your laldst with mora than forty •olnmes of approved Soman theology no w In use as the guldoof tho olergy and the laity, and I de-fiantly ohallOngo tho,resident priests of this oity to disprove either books or facts disclosed in my prl< vate looturo 'to idon last week in the Onmberland PrMbytorian ohuroh of ibis.olty.
"6. I Itave olTorfld, and do hereby offer, ono thoasand dollars reward to any aoereditod Roman priest or bUhop who will disprove the horrible dls-plo«^tM Ih the book Iloino, uxtraotod firom tho
H o t al Theology oft 'oter Dona, and F. iLlairlc?k, tho latter a lato archbishop ofliaUtnioin^
"7. To ietlle this oiattor onoo and forfivar I will submit luf iiuuKsandoxtraots, with acrompaitying docuniunts, to a oomndttM of tw«lvo llDgulsts, chosen at dlsoretlou from this city, and I wlH nUUIe t heir vordlet for the associated press of the Uidtod States.
"Now lot the issue bo fairly Pud «iuareiy m(>t, and let the Roman clergy dWprovo my liooka and Iccturos on auricular cunfes.«in», oth^^rwise let Ihofu for ahamo hid* their faces, and forever ket^) out of the co»rc8Siotial.

ON the second day of Api;ll a woman, Miss Francis E. Townsloy, was ordainod t« the
work of tho goiipel ministry by a Presbytery of po-callod Baptist ministers at Kairfleld, Nebraska. Wo have no language lu whlch,toex(«resN our disappro-bation, let us rather «>ay, our indignation, at this outrage on Bsptist usHge, apostolic precoilent, and Scripture teaching. Wc have no lotiowshiti with any of the parties to the transaction, ami would recognize none of them as ministers or as Baptl^tfl if they should come among UR. Such a grocm ini-pn»prioty should meet with nc» half-way treatment. A mere protest docs not suDlce. Wo utterly re-pudiate all ecoleslaatlcal relationship to any and all tho parlies concerncd.
Tho New York Examiner, speaking on this sub-ject, says;—
"We shall not disparage the good senf>o of our readers by entering on any argument to show that tho ordination of women is unacriptural. I>et any ono read the Epistles to Timothy and Titus, and decide for himself whether the remotest possibiUtr that a woman evet could bo propoMjd for tho oflico of bishop so much as suggested itself to the in-spired apostle.
We do not believe thero Is a Baptist paper in the United States which will sanctiou this unhappy proceeding, nor can we think t in t there Is a Bap-tist Association in tho world which would recog* nize Miss Townsloy or any other woman as a min-ister of the gospel.—/ru^ftc.
Referring to this caso. Dr. Stone of Omaha has tho following pertinent remarks:
In nspect to the ministry for woman, the silence of tiie New Testament is to mo a prohibition Just as thoroughly as it is of infant baptism. Podobap-tlsts have somotlmes argacQ that becausn it is not forblddan, thoreforo It must be authorized. If it proves Infant baptism, i t proves the baptism of bells or horses Just as well, for there is uo prohibi-bltion of it. Tho book of Acts was givon to teach us the manner of his kingdom, a book of prece-dents. Neither that b'>Qk nor any of the epistles, gives us a hint of tho ordination of female minis-ters, and I dare not supplomont tho ofllccs of the New Testament Tho Commission involves two services, preaching and baptlaing. X presume uo one believes that a woman could be meant for the latter duty, unless some other form than Immer-sion shou Id be intended. The incidonu of tho sex, and especially of maternity, put an authoritatlvo veto upon this invnstmont of woman with minis-terial orders. Her motherhood and her ' regular ministerial duties are Incompatible, contradictory. The natkiro of woman, her instincts, her physical charaeteristios, and hor m%rital duties forbid the idea.
I t needs no leglslatlvo prohibition; tho voice of nature 1| loud enough, aiid prompt enough, for 1800 years, and I okivy not Ihti ^s i t ion of thoso who would "add" a hew mlniatorlal olomeut un> kvown to the'N^ewTestament^and besot with ao tnany natural obstniotlons. 1V> (hose who havo known my mlnlsteria;! habits for 48 yo*" I need not say a word of aelf Tindicatioa f r o a the ohargo of repn^Htng the iwUvmos of woman In ttio work of the kingdom.

T'OVF— the length, and breadth, and hlght, and depth, uud infinity of the divine love—in con-
ceiving, an<l devising, and achieving the scheme of man's mlcniption. Love is the burden of all we say, or hear, or slug, and In all our appeals, love ia tlie all-conlrolling motive. "We lovo hitii because ho first lovotl us."
But assuming that only humanity suflered, will any one, or altogether, ot those who occupy that position, please answer mo just one question: Was it the ;\vhole extent of God's great love to fallen man that he provided an innocent man to sulTortho ponalty line to the guilty race? Or I put the question in another form: If only man en-«t,urud the suffering, how can it be made to appear that it was God who exercised the loving ?
God so l<*vod the world—V> loved me—that ho gave another man to suflbr what I deeerved, does not, 1 confess, como up to the hlght of my faith,nor my,hope, or my gratltndo. * ^

ard Baptist mitiister, to the consideration of every Chrifitian. To deny that divinity, the Seoond Per-son in tho Godhei^d, the followlng—i. e., equal—of God, suffered for us, is to make the atoneneofc valueless.

Mr. John Mulllna, a well-wlslior lo the raHse, gave tho ground, Mr. Robert Burns, u pioiviiiiuiit Mothodisl, g a v e lun'lier. and othms gave unils and small sums of money; so that each shoulder to tho wheel has helped to push the work along.

Kcv. G. W. Grifflu, D. D. says: "Equal to any school in America for women!"
Hon. A, S. Marks, Ex-Governor of Tonnesseo, says: "Itslacnlty in culture and ability is second to nonet"

The standard of Mary Sharpo ia higUor than of any similar Institution in the South.

All tho training aud discipline of tho college points Ijoyond tho period of youth to thn (uturo woman, bearing tho roBponstollltlrii, and lioldlng the relationships appropriate to hor sex in the society of maturer years.
It is tho solemn duty of every pai-ent who has daughters to educate to examiiio tho claims of tho school to which thoy surrender the tralring of their childron.

TUo uchitoctura) Idet that comparea the oburoh to a bull'ltng t*t of very froqnant ooourrence in the
'word uf God. A bnllding "AU have but one Foun dation. The fbuudattou of tJbU atruoturo I* dhr i i t and him aioiiti.
Our view accords with (he gramiuatioal cou» Amotion or the worda. And hero we notice the change of gender in the original. The apoatle't name (petros) is in tito masouline gender. I t la al-ways 80, even in the hUtoi-y of hi« rocelving this name (John i. 33): Thou art called 0«)pha9, which i» by interpretation [petroa] a atono [or rock}.'' I fever , iu ita origami and proper foroi, pctr« (feminine gender) were kppHed to the apoatie we aiight oxtHwt it ao where h •itu|.ly explalna the import of the name. But in the passage before us there la an abrupt change of gender from tlte mas" CQline to the feminlu<% unnecessary and unaccount-able on the eiip|K>i)iUon that both terms applied are to the same, porton.
Again, there seems evidently to be a special emphaRls in the Savior's wnrds. l ie uses both the demonstrative pronoun and the article in con-nection with the nouu. I t ii> ^ati^a fa this Ikti rock. In the C>n<ok language the article is often addc<1 to the deinonintrattve to express the designatluit more detlnltely or emphatically. It would «e«m u if this were the object here. It is, " I aay to thro that thou art Peter, « »tone, and on this, (Ae rosifc, t will buUd my church." Now why this emphasisf If the pcrscn of Peter was in-tended would not tJie natural expressloQ have been/"Thon art Pistcr, a rock, and on that rock I will build," etc.? On tho supposition that the reference is to bim«it>lf the object of the emphasis Is clear. ChrUt Is the rock hitn>»elf, pre-eminently so, — (he Rook of Age*, —tho Sure Foundation.
Again, tho word petra, in this form, is repeatedly applied to onr Lord, and to him only, and never to tho apostle; as (I Con x .4) , "They drank of the spiritual [petra] rook that followed them, aud that [petra, feminine] rock was C h r i i t " Rom. ix. S3: "Behold I lay In Zlon a stono of stumbling and [petra, feminine] a rock of ofFanso." S Peter 11. 7 : "Thestono which Ui* builders rejected is become . . . . a stoue of stumbling and [petra, femlnlm*] a rock ofreuse." If tho term Is applied, in this form, to onrXord In all other instances, and only to him, are we not warranted In so applying it here? Can.we indecil rightly give it any other apDlleatlon?
This view has the suflVago of the early and ablest Christian fktbers, as Augustine, sermon thirteen on the discourses of onr Lord, qtioted by Turreu-t in: "Thou," says lie, "a r t Peter, a rock, and on this rock which thou hast ooufeased, this rock which thou hast ackitowledged, saying, thou art tho Christ, tho Bon of the Hying <}od, I will build my church, r -upon myself, who am the Son of the living God, will I build," etc. J o h » Hilary, con-cerning the Trinity, days : " This, thereforo, is tho Imniovjtble foundation of faith, — this- one blessed
•-rock confessed by Peter, ' thou art the Bon of the living God. '" To this agnio the marginal glosslsts of tho ninth centnit- TUey explain, OhrUitum in quern credit,' that Is, "Christ In whom ye believe " Sosne even on the sld- of Papacy give thla vliw, as Qr<>gory the. Great and Byrtiuus among tho ancients, Dupin and othera among tho mt^erns.
We know that tho Oampbellltes hold t h a t i t l a the conlbssion of Peter that Cbrist built Uis ohurah upon, so that every one Who w|l^ mako the oo&> ^ i o n ii ft proper luVJwt op ^
into thi> church of Christ. The demon* (hiitt would have been proper subjects; for they cried out, We know thee, who thou art, Chriil ," etc. The gropo^ sitlon tl,slniply abiuti l There is au inoongrulty, aviolaticu of all the rules of figurative lauguage, in representing an abstract truth aa the foundatltm of a material atrueture, such as l« Uie church of Christ A t ruth may be a fouiidatiod principle. I t may be fandamantal to other truth! or prmciples following from or growing out of I t ; but it cannot, w i ^ any propriety of thought or language, bo made the foundation ot a material fabric. And then further, what, In faut, la this confession but the fklth of the individual soul resting upon tho only fbundfttlon 7 The (kith that unites the onUro collective body of his church to hltnself oaii with no more propriety bo styled the foundation than can tho cement that binds the fabric to its basis.
It Is confessed that there Is (tifflculty in the in-terprotatlouof the text; but tho view we have presented agrees with fact, best agrees with tlie construction of tho wordi, is tho vluw of many of the boat commentators, and concurs with the flguro so frequent In the word of God that compares tho church to a building. We therefore are compelled to the conclusion that by these words, " th i s rock," our Lord meant himself, — "tho tried stone, the precious corner-stons, the sure foundation," of whom whosoever believeth shall never bo ashamed.

9. In the case of a minister of good repptatlon and character. Is It in gospel order to oxolude suoh an one without trial liefbre a counoilf And If a ohurch should Ulus exclude a minister what olToot would such exclusion have upon his ministerial status r I n q u i k b h .
Memphis, Tenn; Akswkr 287. 1. I t is the universal oustom of
ail orderly governed Baptist churches to fUrnlsh tho membor arraigned for trial with a copy of the ohargos and spoclflcatlons at least one month be-foro ho it required to appear before tho churoh and mako his answor. Tho custom Is founded not only upon tho word of t-fod but the universally recognized principle of equity.
2. I t is the almost if not universal oustom of tho churches, when a minister of good reputation and oharaoter is a subject of churoh disciplino, to call upon a goodly namber of hor sister churches to send their deacons aud pastors to assist, by their advice, in tho trial of suoh a brother. Thero is no organiaatlqn or ooncolvablo body of men or lalnis-ters on oArth authorised to try and Moludo or dU-olpllne a mlnlitor or member sjivo a local chulroh ofChrlst .

3. Is there any sin of which tt msmlier oan VS guiity whloh would Horlpturally prohibit the ohureh from ro-tMnln{( said member In her fellowship even «ft<'r a Aill donfeidou and satisfactory evidence of Sincere ropen-tanirer'

Bristol, Texas. ' ANSWXR 288. Her duty Is to exclude such a
grosi offendor, and keep tho door of tho church' closed against him until he has given full proof of his ropontance, and fully established his character ae a Christian with tbosq who are without Bee First and Second Corinthians.

Dr. John Hall «ayn: " Thoro are a good many kinds of ministers There is tho fossil mlnlstrr, who was cut and dried in sonic setnlHaty, and is ttlwaytt the Hsnio. Tlic gcinhmry does the best for a man when It luaches him the sourccs of Ids llfo, and sols him to developing hiuiself. Then there is tho formal mlnislor. Ho is not likely to l)o tho man to form und preside over a live church. I have myself KOen formal ministers. Il Lo a grca). mistake to suppoito that bccauBo a man is soleinu he is oarncat, or beuauso a man Is mirthful ho is not earnest I do not suy thHl this typo of minister will bo tho best (.uitod to take tho load of a live church. Thou thcro is the fluent man, who can talk to any llatU without saying tnuoh. This is not tho typo I recomtuuod to you. Tho flippant minister degrades religion. Il is one thing to talk natnrslly outot 'u full heart and another to speak lightly and flippantly of saored things. Tho minister should be a live man, a manly man, a foarlesB man, a human man, a strong man, a great man, not necessarily great In intellect, but great In inspiration, —ill his conceptions of truth and duty,—groat li> his alms, In pationco, gentleness,
• forgiveness. He must use groat instrumonlalitlos, Tho groat instruniontiiHly must bo Iho Bible, with its olTors of salvation (roo to all."

Kpo«Ut« ra»t?rUI, Ihrough tho ju.lgiueut of wlilcli tUo Lo«U» to lake the kingdom. "Tho heathen rtKed, the kiagdoms wore moved, ho uttered his •oic«, tho oarlh melted." , I t i» M cotiqueror the Lord la to take hU kitigdom
bymud-by, or lifs wcontl 8 Ujbatlu Of old, the Bkbbath waa tha ro»t of one who h u l labored ; but thecomlui t Sabbgth will be fbat of OMO who. hM fought a flght, ar.d won tho day. This "reat that remalueth" will, (herefore, bo putanxl by a rougcer and more difficult p i th than the fo rmer ; lor It U to be reached through the afflictions aud confllcia which iln has occasloued, and through the judgment of Iniquity,
The Lord God of old entercl his rest or Sabbath aa Creator. Ho had dona the work of six 'lays, and one tho aeveiiih he reated. This Sabbath, wo know, has bfion dlaturbe<l, and loat throusth man's sin. But we also know of a coming S*bbat!i, " a rest that romalneth," aa we read. David making way for Solomon is tho type of tUU. Solomon waa the peaceful :» namo which impHog not abstract or more rest, but rest after confl.ct or war. It be-speaks triumphant reel—aomethlng more thances-aatlon of latrar. So <he L»r«l entera tho kiagdom a* "tho L o r ^ stroiig and naiithty, the L-^rd mighty In battle," aa one fresh in victory, "with dyeil gar-menta." (Sae P». xx iv . ; xivl. ; xlvil . ; xcili , ; laa. ix . ; lx l l l . ;Kev . xix.)-
Christ aa conqueror is, however, kaown in dlffar-eut scenes and seasons, and In ditferent for roa and manners, before ho enters tho klngkom. X» soon a t he gave up tbe ghoat, the victory of his d e a t h waa owned lu heaven, earth, and hell; for tho veil 01 the toraplo was ront iu twain, iho rocks apllt, and the graves wore broken up, (Mttu ixv i l . ) As lie entnreil the heavenii, ho w a j received, and xat down aa conqueror. He waa atonce acknowledged there a< fresh from hla conftiol here. Aa th i one who had overcome, ho aat down with the Father upon his throne. When hla sainU risa to moot htm they will, in their own perao.is, display hl< viotory—the victory ho has achieved for ihem:-^ "Thanks bo to Go<l who giveth us tho victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Cor. i v . )
In these aeaaona aud forma, the triumph of Christ iacelebrated belore he entera the Kingdom: and animating and happy t ruth this is, Jesus asoended on high aa a conqueror; but never till Joaus a i cendod had heaven knowu a conqueror. Aa disUntreport of hia victory had reached It, I m a y •ay, when the temple'Veil waa ron t j but neyer had heaven been theplaco of a conqueror till the Lord returned there. The L>rd God in hla gloriea had been thore, the Lord God aa Creator and' Buler also; and the angels tha t excel in strength had waited there I Some who kept no t their flrat esUte there may have been oaat down, aud others have •Hng when the fouodatlona of the earth wer e la id; b u t never bad tho preaonoe of a oonqiieror adorned and gladdened it till Jesus aiicende<l. But ' then I t waa 10; he had then overthrown him who had tho power ovdt death \ he had led oapUvity captive J he had made a ahow of prlnolpaHUea;yie had over-come the wor ld ; be had, aa the true Samaon, borne Uie hoitile gates to the top of the bil l ; tho grave clothea had heen left In the empty eepulnhre, aa the epoUaofwar and.trophlea of oonqiieet—and thna
oooqneror Jetua Moended. Heaven had alreadjr
knewn the living God. but never t i l l then the liv-ing G«d In victory; and our aieenslon Seftor blm will only. In other forms, toll of ti l«m,ih, and bo another display of an host of conquerors.'
Now, according to all this, is tho "New 8ong;" nf which wo read In Snriptiiro. For tho songs thoro are oonquerora' soiiga, and there are so many re-hearsals, NO to apeak, of tho kingdom's song. Such waa that ol Moaea and tho cdngicgatloii on the banka Hif tho Ited s^a; auch was Deborah's; such wer0 tho utterauo g, If they miy bo called aonge, of Ilaunah a<id Mary; auoh Is I J bo tho « M< of HOV-elation XV. in Ita season, the haipcrs <n heaven standing thou In victory ovor the beast, and over hia Imago, and over IIIS MABK, and over the num* bor of hia name. .
Thli glvea a new thomo for alngliig or iiiadnoss, and hence tho "New Song." The old song, sung by the morning stara over tho fouodatlo la of the evrth, waa not a conqueror's song, a song cclobrat-ing a divino, victory, either for tlio redemption or ftvoMglng Goil's chosen. There was uo theme of victory then, for no battlo hatt been fought, and won. But sin, since then, has enlored: a great counter-force has been in action, and tbe Lord haa had lo go forth, and is atlll to (fo fonh, as a "Man of war"—the God of battles. And thi<retoro at tbe and, a "New Song—a nong with a now themo or burden—must be awakened to celebrate him in thU new action or character of glory. The song of Moses was a conqueror's song, and so tho so-ig of the Lamb, "O ing unto tha Lord a new song, for he hath done marvoloua t h ln | 9 ; hU right hand and hia holy arm bath gotten him tho victory." Tho apng over creation must give place in compass and mcl'>dy to tho ^ong over t h » t r l u m p h / o l Josus,
What new honors, w j may adoringly and thaiik. fully say, aro preparing for him ihiou^h our h la-tory, and what new Joys for heaven I For his vlo-torlea have been for us, ac iompllahlng our deliver, aaro and vindication in the face of our onomlea. The glory of thoso victories are tiis, tho fruit of thom ours, .
And it la a Joy-oaa thought that the L'>rd is to enter his coming kingdom as a conqueror, taking the throne of Solomon, th e peacoful, after tho wars and victories of David. But thia Jov Implies pro-vious scenes of a trenionflous character. Triumph, of itaclf, ia a bright idea; but it la full of TOCOIIOC-tlons of fields ef batUe, abd scenoa. of bloodehcd. And SO with Jcaua: tho Joy of seeing him hi triumph, and Iho power of hla kingdom, la bright, and gladdening—but the "winepress" has flrat to bo "troddon."
And •till more—though that Is solemn—the treading of Uie wlneprosa, or the exeoution of tho divine Judgment, speaks of previous corruption, or of the ripening of the vine of tho earth. If the Lord in Judgment have to tread tho wlneprosa, the winepreaa has previously to bo fllloil.
And nhe ro are we at this moment standing? Hot in the actual (Mssesslon of tho immovable kingdom—not In the sight of the trkimpb that ig to usher f t forth, or in the audience of the New Song which la lo accompany that triumph, not In tho vlllon of the Bosrah and the garments dyed with blood, the day of the divine Judgment which leads to the triumph—but In a oerUlii alag6 of the ripen* ing of the vine of Sodom, which ia soon t« bo oaat into the winepreaa, or to meet the Judgment of tho Lord.
There wo aland: and the moment la solemn, kvery day, like tbe hea tof auMmor, i i but matur* Ing and mellowing the grapes of gall, oi' tbeolttstera of Qommorrah. Our proepe ct« a n th tu atrangt^—
