that the communion IS tie Lords table.
and therefore zee ought MOI 10 preUent ony
/ OF h1s children from partaktag Of it
we observe in reply to this objpctionslha,
| because the communion is the Lords
table, therefore the churches are bound
strictly to observe his directions concern
ing It's prerequisites Therefore il is not
Z ace who prevent anv of The Lord chill
dren from partaking of his table; ii is
the ruie which he has given for commun-
Ion; Or rather it is the disobedIence of his
children to this rule. Ii is the duty and
privilege of all Christians to commune at
the Lords table; but il is their duty ac-
Icofding to the Scriptures, frst 10 comply
with the ordinance of baptism And as
long as they neglect this, God has given
us no Scriptural authority to invite them
TO his table. This objection is just as
applicable TO restricting the privileges of
Church membership to baptized. persons
as to restricted communion. The. church
is the Lords as well as the communion.
But we all say, Christians should be bap-
tlzed before we have right, according to
the Scriptures, to admit them to the priv
IlIegPs of the Lords church: and for the
same reason, we ought not to invite uu-
baptized christians to the Lords table
5. Another objection often urged IS,
that all Christians aciU commune together
IN hearen, and therefore they ought all to
c0mmUme together on earth. To this we
observe, that if we take the conduct of the
inhabitants Of heaven as the pattern of our
works upon earth, we shall, like the clo-
rhed spirits, regard strictly all the COM
mandments and all the directions of God
concerning his institutions. Therefore
the example of the Saints In heaven does
not teach us 20 violate the prescribed or
der OF his institutions, by inviting unbap-
t'ztd persons to the communion. Besides,
| there is no Lords Supper in heaven
This institution, as we'll as baptism, be-
longs only 10 the, church militant. A
knowledge OF this fact effactualiy does
away all the force of this hacknied OBJ
lection. 1t is certlin, however. that the
inhabitants of heaven have no kind Of
communion with any who are not admit
ted into the heavenly church. Hence
we act contrary to the spirit of heaven, to
which the objection points US, whenever
we commune with any whom we will not
ADM; into the gospel church.
Notwithstanding all the objections
which may be urged against the senti-
ments of this tract, we learn that there
lare three important principles which must
stand or fall together, viii. Baptism
IS prerequisite to communion 2 Faith
Is prerequisite to baptism; and g. Bap-
tIsm is prerequisite to church member.
ship, If, therefore, the reader believes
that baptism is prerequisite to church
membership; and that faith is a pre-
requisite to baptism; then he must also
believe that baptism is prerequisite to
communion.

NONsRESEsTANCE.

Mr.. Editor The spirit OF non-resist-
ance is he highest attainment of the soul.
70 suffer injury loag and still be kind,
never to return evil for evil. to love an en-
envy, man must attain the entire pos
session of himse f: his appetites AMI pas
slons must be in complete subsection to
his moral sense. A true non-resistant
must hav" the same mind that was in
Christ. He must have become a dear
child Of God
Jesus gave it as an evidence of the per-
ftclion of God, that he causeth his sun to
shine upon the evil sendeth his rain upon
the unjust, and is kind to the wicked and
unlhankluI. God is love, and they only
( are his children. III whose hearts love
reigns supremely
The GROWING excellence of Christ,
that which made him the dearly beloved
Son Of God, was that he loved his enc

blessed them that cursed him, did good TO
them which despitefullv used and perse-
cnted him. That he withheld himself un-
der the highest provocation, from commit
ting any violence upon his foes, or allow
ing others to do it for him, is the fact,
which stands out and above all others in
his life, AMI has awakened more than all
the rest that which is felt for him. Jesus
was able TO defend himself, as he intImated.
He could have summoned twelve legions
of angels to his rescue Or he could have
reused his disciples, AMI many thousands
more of the Jewish people, who were
ready enough TO believe him to be their
long promised Messiah; and they would
have gladly fought TO protect him. Bu'

HARRISON'S SALVO.

Messrs. Editors ST. send you an extract

delivered in the Virginia convention, III
1929, 30. Be so good as to give it aplaee
in your paper. and we will leave our Har-
rison friends to make The application
You must give Governments time to oper
ate on the people. & give the people time TO
become gradually assimilaled to their in
slirutons. Almost any thing is better than
this slate of perpetual uncertainty. A
people NAV have the best form of Govern
ment that the wit of man ever devised: {:
and vet, from its uncertainty alone, may,
in effect, live under the worst Government
in the world. Sir, how often must re-
peat, that change is not reform. am will
ling that this new Constitution shall stand
as long as it is possible for it to stand. and
that, believe me. is very short time
Sir. it is vain to deny it. They may say
what they please about the old Consiiu-
tion-the defect is mol there. 1t is not
in the form of the old edifice. neither in
the design nor the elevation it is in The
material-it is in the people of Virginia.
To nv knowledge that people are chan
ged from what they have been. The fur
hundred man who went out 10 David were
in debt. The partizans of Cesar were in
debt. The feIl6w-Iaborers of Caaline
were in debt And ! defy you 10 shew me a
desperately indebted people any where,
who can bear regular sober Government.
I throw the challenge to all who hear me.

Virginia plan'er-lhe man who owned
from five to twenty slaves, or less. who
lived by hard work and who paid his debts,

by ones wits--of living by contracting
