DIE ACONS


The Eastern Baptist has good article
on the subject of the duties of Dcacons. !
After speaking Of the misunderstanding
or want Of understanding, of words which
have been transferred, without translation,
from tho original Into our version of the
Scriptures, such as Baptizo, Baptlsma,
&C., he remarks THAT it is certainly to be
regretted that the word Deacon has been
transferred into our English Bible, instead
Of, corresponding English word. The
consequence is, almost every body is ignor-
ant of the nature of the office, and the du-
ties which belong to it, He proceeds to
euumerate the offices actually performed
7 by those called deacons in the Romish and
Protestant churches, showing how differ
entity the nature of the office is regarded.
He considers that proper translation Of
the word would make Deacons to be, SIM
ply, servants of The Churches; and con-
cludes with the following judicious re-
marks, which we commend to the serious
attention Of our churches and especially to
those persons who have the roors Of Dea-
conupon them The subject is one ofgreat
importance to :hecomfort of individual Is the
prosperity OF the churches, and the gcner-
al interest ofthe cross Of Christ. Hundreds
OF the churches of our Connection, are sui
fering deeply, and the causr Of our Re
deemer is suffering deeply, from want Of a
proper understanding of the duties Of Dea-
cons, and from want of a proper discharge
ofthose. duties. Let Us Try 10 have some
improvement in this matter.-Mornin3g
Star. -~ g.
!, -. Only let the church understand that a
Deacon is a servdnt, and there will We but
very little difficulty IN determining what IS
his work. As a person employs a servant
to,do such kind'of work, as circumstances
may make necessary, or occasion may re-
quire, so>the church has need Of such Ser
wants. 1t is impossible that every thing
which is necessary to be done in church
can be assigned to any one before hand,
: definitely; for new and unforeseen occur
+ renees will create new and unforeseen do
, ties. But if there is set of officers, or
, persons who, in tbs proper accePtatIon OF
the word, were SeTUants0f the church, then
, it would be understood that the servants
are the proper persons TO do it. Christ has
: made this provision by appointing Dea-
: cons, or servants of the church. Thus,
1 while God has assigned to the Bishops, or
: Elders, the duty Of administering in spirit
Q ual things, He has provided that they
shallnot be called off to serve in the secu-
a lar concerns and other business which
: would divert their attention, and render
e them unfit for their appropriate work.
= There is no doubt but that such seTrGHt'
existed in the church from the beginning
d and the young men. mentioned in Acts v
d 6, 10, who carried out the dead bodies o
h Auanias and Saphira, were, in our opin
q ion, of this number. In agreement witt

FEMALE CoRREsroNDEScE.-What a pity it is our
correspondent Margaret Whose communication is
subloined,) was not alive hundred years ago when
the kissing dances were in fashion. The gentlemen
were obliged to dance up their fair partners, and
dwell upon their lips for almost minute, or they
would be too quick for the music and dance out of
tame. Margaret would have been quite au fat at
this figure; but she need despair let her procure
some lip save get rid of the unsighty inconvenience
she complains of smile complacently and make her
self generally agreeable-this recipe will soon set all
to rights, and she will be enabled by experience to
write supplement to the Basia of Joannes Secun-
dus, the Dutchman, ard Bonnefons the Frenchman,
who have written gracefully on the subject.
DEAR Mr. BENNETT
In consequence of the cold weather my lips have
become very much chapped. l have made several
inquiries for remedies TO cure them, and have found
all to 20 effect but there is remedy yet antried
and that is to kiss who has never been kiss
ed before. AS am a stranger in these parts, and
have but few acquaintance here ii Is extremely diff
fcult to find such character have therefore been
compelled to rssor, TO this method. Dear sir, for
pity sake, do not let this be numbered with those let
tiers that you compelled TO lay aside daily

not at all calculated 10 withstand the extreme cold of
northern winter. | am, Dear Sir, ever yours
