Testament, in which we are in
formed that the Apostles ever at
tempted TO deprive any Church Of
the right Of choosing its own dea
cons and elders. The Evangelist
did not choose the office bearers
Titus was left at Cree to ordain
elders in every city, or in every
/ Church,; but these elders were
already members Of these Church
es, and we cannot for one moment
believe, that Titus ordained elders
over the Churches, otherwise than
at the request, and with the con-
sent, Of these Churches. Were
not the primitive Christians cX-
horted to know their bishops or
pastors? But how, we ask, in the
name Of reason, could they know,
and esteem, and obey them, il they
had no voice in their election to
office? The supposition that the
= Apostles, EvangeIists, or the pas
tors Of the primitive Churches, did
choose and ordain other elders and
dcacons, without the consent and
suffrage Of the Churches, is an cyi-
dent absurdity. The Churches of
Christ are by the Head Of the
Church, held responsible for their
conduct both in word and doctrine.
But how can any Christian Church
be blamed for suffering false teach
ers to act as their overseers, if
they have opowcr either to choose
or dismiss them? To those who ap-
pear more anxious to pcrpctuatc
priest]y dominion in the Church OF
Christ, and to lord it over God 5
heritage, no argument ever appears
I sound, except such as 60 to rob
| the Church OF its privileges, and to
establish the aristocracy of the
. priesthood.

ers Of the Church set apart? Or.

SKETCH XVII
BY " UNCLE WILLIAM"
THE scRlPTURAL CHARACTERISTIC

IL l. !
OF A CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
The occurrence which gave rise
IN tho Church ot Jorrsalom to tbc
appoiptmcut of deacons. NAV have
lanagested tile need of an arrange
ment which wo0ld embrace the
subject Of nroyidino for the secu~
lar concarrs of all thc churches
and Of assisting ministers on a
variety Of occasions. Hence a wider
sphere Of duty than the original
necessity required, would soon be
found appropriate to the new Of
ficc-a sphere larger or smaller,
according to circumstances, and
furnishing, in u great diversity Of
ways, opportunities of rendering
service to the ministers Of the
Gospel, and Of advancing hcpros-
perity of Church. The arrange
ment made in the Church Of Jcru-
salem proved a salutary one; and
the experience OF this Church, we
may believe, led to Its adoption
afterwards wherever churches were
formed
We cannot help thinking that 1t
would be great Improvement up
on the plan in relation to dcacons,
so very extensively adopted by
many churches, if they were to
elect this class of office bearers an
nualIy. In this way, the useless,
IUnfceIiMg, and men of doubtful
picty, would find their level, and
learn 4 useful lesson; and men OF
greater worth, better sense, and
earnest picty, might be chosen in
their place to fill the diacona! Office.

chosen? Bv the Church undoubt-

that Harry is alive and we'll, and will be home
