TRIUMPH OVER DEATH.

Are YOU weak ? is sickness in the cham.
her, and death at the door? Come. then
and let us sit down with death aud eternity
in view; and encourage one another from
the word, the precious word of God. What
is there frighttul in death, which our ever
blessed Rcdeemcr has not taken away ? DO
the pangs Of dissolution alarm us! Should
they be sharp, they cannot be very long, and
our exalted Lord. with whom are the issues
orlile, knows what dying agonies mean.
He has said in the multitude of his tender
mercics, "Fcar thou not, for | am with
thee be- no, disnaycd, for am thy God, |
will strengthen thee, yea, | will help thee
yea, will uphold thee with thc right hand
Of my righteousness" (Isai. xii. 10. This
promise authorizes US TO say boldly, I ca,
though | walk through the valley OF the
shadow of death, | will fear no evil" Are
we afraid to enter into a strange invisible
world 1t is the world into which our divine
Master is gone where he has prepared ever
lasting mansions for his people, and has ap-
pointed his angels to conduct us thithcr.
And, having such convoy, what should
We fear? and going 10 our eternal home,
where our blessed Redeemer is, why should
we be reluctant ?-Herrey.

THE SWEET POTATO.

THE SHEkI fOiAiO.
Mr.. Edaor,-I sent you for publication
in your January number, three expert
mcnts upon tho raising of corn. | now
present you with an experiment upon the
raising of sweet potatoes, which, for Seve-
,al wears have tried with great success.
Instead of planting my potatoes in rows
as is commonly done, | make hills about
five feet apart each way. In each hill |
place all the manure | intend to devote
10 the land. For instance: at the distance
offive feet apart each way, place about
one quart of cotton seed, and small por-
ton of compost manure. | then haul up
a hill over these al the same time mix
inc the seed and manure with the soil
as much as possible. From the 2oth
of March to the 1st of April | COM
mence planting. In each hill made as
above, l plant ) seed pctatoes-placing
them at equal distances from each other,
upon the top Of the hill. Potatoes so plant
cd are more easily attended, than when
planted in rows, and will, in every case,
Weld larger crop. Last year, in addi-
ton to the cotton seed, and compost ma
nurc, scattered abou, tablespoonful of
salt in each hill, and planted IA quarter
acre Of potatoes in this way. 1t yielded
me larger crop than any other quarter
acre in the whole field.
1 have just received Your February
number, wherein have read an article on
the raising of potatoes from sprouts. /
perfectly agree with the writer when he
SAYS, that potatoes from sprouts will be
earlier and larger, and | will, in addition
TO what he says, state that the yield will Oc
greater.
For several years | have tried the mode
on a small scale, and find that i, succeeds
we'll. 1t is apparently troublesome, and
YOU will not get your negroes to relish the
idea of abandoning old habits, or the mode
of planting from sprouts would be adopted
for our whole crops.

LETTER III.

II, 1887

Nix DEAR BROTHER In the year 1879
while the controversy mentioned in my last
letter was going on, series Of articles was
published in the Christian Spectator, on the
Means Of Regeneration. purportlng to be
4 Review of DR.. Springs dissertation on
that subject. In these articles, which were
written by DR.. Taylor, the writer maintains,
that antecedent to regeneration, the selfish
principle is suspended in the sinners heart,
and that then, prompted by selt-lovc, he
uses the means Of regeneration with motives
which arc neither sinful nor holy. The
manner in which the subject is discussed,
seemed to many, to be utterly inconsistent
with the views commonly entertained by the
orthodox on this Fundamental doctrine OF
the Christian faith. Mr.. Netteton in his
letter 10 DR.. Bcechcr. an extract from which
was inserted in my last letter, says in refer
ence 10 this subject:
GAS to DR.. Taylor's last piece on the
means of regeneration, it seems 10 me
that he has turned the thing bottom up
wards. In his description of the means
Of regeneration, he includes the exer-
ciscs or evidences Of new heart. The
carnal mind which is cnmity against God,
suspends all its cnmity, and selfshness, and
sin, and then goes to work on the principle
of self.ovc. How long the sinner contln.

SCRAPS OF THEOLOGY.

1t has been frequently said that the atone
mcnt itself saves no man, that It's on y the
application Of it which saves. This would
be a most astounding declaration 10 p;ous
heart unacquaintcd with the light which
modern science and metaphysical specula-
ton have poured upon the various depart
ments of Theology: but unfortunately, like
most other features Of that peculiar system
which alone we arc told, is suited to the
genius and adapted to the spirit of the nine:
tecnth century, it is Aimsy. shallow and
false. 1t is in fact only pitiful subterfuge
of those who obstinatcly cling to the dogma
of universal atonemcnt. They vainly hope
to avoid the necessary consequence, unver-
sal salvation, by fabricating a distinction
utterly unknown 10 the word Of God, and
shockingly rcpugnant 10 the pIous mind.
"Thc atoncmcnt itself saves no one, it IS
only the application oft which saves" The
medicine prepared by the physician does
not heal the patient, it is only the admins.
,erinc of it which heals. The sick man is
not cured by the calomcl, he is cured only
by taking the calomel. Surely these saPl.
emf doctors are the men, and wisdom will
die with them But let US look at this mat
ter little more particularly. What, in
ordinary language, is styled the atoncment,
consists of the perfect obedience OF the
Lord Jesus, both active and passive, III the
aw.room and stead Of his own people. BY
his sufferings he satisfied justice; for he as
sumcd the guilt OIL his Church and for ii bore
the penalty Of the law. Yet thercis an an.
tinomian blundcr of eternal justification, into
which we should guard against falling. The
atoncment saves by being applied. No
man is justified until he actually believes.
Faith is the medicine through which we
become interested in the atonement, but
still it is in the atonemcnt and the atone.
mcnt alone which saves. 1t saves none
however who arc not interested in it, no
more than an anodvnc will relieve the SUI
fcrings Of man who refuses to take ii.
The application ofthc a'oncment, therefore,
is necessary as the means of its cxer;ing its
saving power upon US, but stll,alI the saving
power is in the atonemcnt itself and not IN
the application. To suppose that the mcre
application of the atoncmcnt saves us is 10
suppose that faith of itself saves US, since
the Spirit applies the a;onemcnt by working
faith in us. This then seems to be the
truth. Tie atoacmcnt alone saves; it saves
none however 10 whom it is not applied, moi
because the application, in itself considered
has any saving efficacy, but because by
it We become interested in the saving eff
cacy of the atonement itself. Instead o.
the phrase "applicaton Of the atonement,'
let man substitute faith, and he will see
at glance, the true state Of the case. l
is not faith tha. saves, but Christ that saves
through faith, Eph. ii: 8.

About this time Dr.. Tyler wrote to Ds.
Taylor, and expressed with grea, frank.
ness all his fears. Several letters passed
between them but the explanations Of
DR.. Taylor, SO farm from relieving bis

practical importance. But since | returned

clusion which you have expressed IN your
letter that "here is 4 radical departure,

the Bible" These brethren cannot stand
