manner in which the expense was TO be
betrayed. | had the impression, however,
that churches visited by the missionary
would be called on TO aid in the support of
the missionary and that if anything should
be lacking from this source to afford compe-
tent support, the balance would be made up,
from the Treasury Of the Association, orsof
the Convention, or both.
Since the foregoing reply to my cores
pendent was liz my mind Il have fortunately
seen one of the Committee who employ
brother Grant, and he says my impressions
thus far are correct. He further authorizes
me to state that, hitherto, the contributions
Of the churches with whom the missionary
has labored have been fully adequate to his
support, and it is expected that it will con-
tinue to be so. He furthermore authorizes
me to say that brother Grant is paid only
for what time he labors.

"A brother has enquired as to how brother
Grant missionary for the Addison County
Association and the State Convention, is
supported. So far as my own knowledge of
me case goes, the facts are about these:-
Inc Addison County Association. at its
iast session, voted to employ missioparv
within the bounds of the Association dr.
ing the present year, and appointed Com.

be construed so as 10 make me appear 10
question the validity of Johns baptism, on
account OF a supposed defect in his formu-
Ia. And am willing to believe that Il.
]. got his erroneous impression here. Still,
il strikes me he should rather have be-
lieved my express declaration in favor of
Johns baptism, than to have drawn his
conclusion from this single sentence.
[ will just observe here, that my last
article in the Telegraph. abounded 10 more
essential typographical errors, than any
other ever publlshed-such as, erer for
neUer,-Hs for dO,..-soOrd for rerb, &C.,
and in each instance destroying nearly
the whole sentence, and giving rise to
a number of u. Us criticisms.
l shall conclude. by giving short view
Of my sentiments concerning the twelve
disciples-their baptism, &c.
|. Johns baptism was gospel baptism,
and none baptized by him were ever re-
baptized.
2. None could be baptized, CORRECTLY,
after Christ gave his formula, only in the
use Of hat formula.
3. The "twelve" were baptized after
his ascension, and contrary to has formula
by some one unauthorized TO do so, hence
they tOere not rightly baptized.
a. The phrase. "in the name of the
Lord Jesus" means, as He commanded,
ms name being used IN the formula ;
hence,
s. could not mOso acknowledge the
validity of any baptism, administered unto
Johns baptism or only in the name OF
the son..
For anything further, refer the reader
TO my first article published in the Tele.
graph of March 18th. Nothing further
need De expected from me at present on
this subject. "A.

brethren and their wives have been appoint
ed missionaries to the interior of Africa, by
the American Baptist Board of Foreign
Missions. They expect toD sail the first of
August. AS the outfit of these Missiona
ries must be expensive, and our treasury is
exhausted, it is undoubtedly the duty of in
dividuals and churches to make immediate
contributions for defraying these expenses,
and furnishing those conveniences which
our missionaries viii need. Such .contri-
buttons as may be made, whether in money.
or goods, should be Immediately forwarded
to the care of Rev. D.aPacker, of Mount
holly, or to the Hon. Henan Lincoln, treas
urer Of the A. B. B. of F. M, Boston.
This is new field, requiring no less
faith, prayer, perseverance,, sacrifices and
support, than the first efforts in the Burman
Empire. Our dear brother Constantine
and his companions are making sacrifice
OF all the comforts OF civilized society, with
the prospect of a short life, untold suffering,
and an early grave, that they may establish
mission, and erect the blood stained ban
ner Of The cross, an the interior of DARK,
RENIGHTED, ABUSED AFRICA.
Can any christian who has a dollar, re-
fuse half OF 1t, to furnish necessary conven-
fences for this heavenly enterprise ? And
canaay christian forget to pray TO God for
them in the perlls of their voyage, and the
more dangerous perils Of their destined sta
ton ? They so down into a deep we'll,
shall we let them fall? BY order of the

THE HISTORY OF BAPTISM.
By Elder 1. T. Hinton, of Chicago

By Elder l. 4. Hinton, Of Chicago.
We are happy to learn that the Baptist
Publication Society have purchased the
copyright of the above work, and that It
is to be put to press without delay. Since
reading the notice of the agent of the
depository, we have had the privilege of
seeing the author, brother Hinton, who
confirmed the intelligence. He spent last
Lords day in Utica, and refreshed the
beaus of the disciples with the expose he
gave OF the progress of the Redeemer's
kingdom in the west, where he resides.
We rejoice tina: so devoted and clever an
advocate Of the truth is located at Chicago
Several gifted and laborious brethren are,
as we learn, also settled in the same Sec
ton. Brother Fl. left for Philadelphia on
Monday morning, where he expects to
spend the present month in experimenting
the work through the press. On his re-
turn, in the month of August, he hopes to
take Utica and Hamilton in his wav,
when he designs to have number of
copies with him, to supply subscribers and
others who may want. Some of the Fac.
ully at Hamilton who have enjoyed the
privilege of hearing the manuscript, have
been highly grati6ed, and given it ahearty
approval.
We congratulate the Publication Socie.
ty on this interesting commencement OF
their labors, and trust there will be other
productions, from other brethren, shortly
forthcoming, no less entitled to their atten.
ton and patronage. The agents of the
Society are requested 10 exert themselves
In obtaining subscribers, and inform the
agent at Philadelphia, brother B. r. Sax
ley, No. Fl. South Fourth Street, without
delay, the number of copies required
The work will comprise three hundred
pages, and make an admirable addition TO
the Christians library. AS the subject of
baptism is now engaging unusual atten-
lion IN all parts of the land, brethren
ought to supply themselves with every
facility to aid inquirers after truth. DR..
