the connection with church is not dis
solved: since he retains. his conuectio,
with the former till he has become unitec
with the latter.
A right to withdraw from an Organized
body cannot be founded upon the fact
that the body is a voluntary association
because man can voluntarily enter int,
relations and connections upon term.
which he cannot at will disregard. He
may assume perpetual obligations, such a.
he cannot disown and, in eases of mutual
obligations, such as he cannot di.own. ex.
cept the fault of the other party make
them void. If this were not SO, the exist
ence of the church, considered as a yolun-
tary society, would be at the mercy OF
human caprice.
AFTERNOON.
The lecture. of DIR. Hovey, was on the
subject Of Probation after Death.
VIII the probation of any after death
be continued in the intermediate state F?
Are any or all men on probation after
death and until the final Judgment : The
affirmative views of Romanists and of
several modern authors, were passed un-
der review; and all the Scripture passages
adduced by them were examined critical
ly and philosophically, and shown to lie
incapable Of sustaining the positions
which they are relied upon TO establish.
\ thorough examination Of the whole
subject lei TO the conclusion that the pro-
bation Of every person ceases at death.
''Fhc assumption that any who have not
repented Of -in in the present life, will he
likely to DO so III the intermediate state.
i purely gratuitoGs. Neither human rea-
son nor.thc word Of God give. it shadow
Of support"
In the discussion that followed. "the
state of the righteous after death. Wa
the subject most fully developed. In the
opinion Of Dr. Hovey the righteous dead
are .'im Paradise" lin Abraham BOSOM

of conscious well-heinE: and il ITO be

There must now be- some incapacities that.

they cannot realize, except ly the SENSES

Prof. Hovey next proceeded 20 speak at
length uIon the inspiration ct the Old
Testament Scriptures hi- main PROPOSE

ties indorsed the Old Testament Scrip

The morning lecture 10y Dr. Goadby
was taken up for further discussion. and
occupied the time until five o'clock. when
the Institute adjourned until half-pa-t

ever before, and requires the force en-
ployed in that division until a much later

ceived for redemption from all quarters
have been very heavy and seem TO be
increasing daily. Seven hundred thous-

SECOND DAY.
BrnLIxGrox. Feb. 10. 1869.

BURLINGTON. Feb. 10. 1869.
The morning session was opened at .
o'clock, with prayer 10y Rev. J. Freeman,
ID. ID.
Rev. J. Goadby. d. D.. of Poultney,
delivered II lecture on Church Govern
ment.
The lecturer stated that there are four
ways by which membership in IA Christian
church may be terminated /. By death /;
,. by exclusion 3. by disnission by let
ter to join some other church 4 by with
drawal-which was claimed to be the
right of any member in good standing
This point was controverted, and gave
rise to prolonged discussion, the gem
eral tenor of which was adverse to the
position assumed in the lecture.
The sense of the Institute ON this sub
ject, Judging from the prevalent tone of
remark, would be fully expressed by a
paragraph or two in Prof. II. J. Ripley's
work on Church Polity. On the 'termi-
nation of membership" he says, page so,
From the nature Of the case, membership
in church, originating in obligation to
Christ, designed to aid directly in per-
sons becoming prepared for Heaven, and
to perpetuate the Savior's arrangements
for the spiritual welfare of mankind, is of
permanent character. 1t is properly
terminated only by death, or by exclusion
on the mart of a church for iustifiable
reasons"
"The voluntary removal of a member
from one church to another, may also be
called a terminating of his connection
with the former church; but this is only
transfer of his connection from one
church to another. In point of theory,

Rules for Self Government.
BY A PRUDENT OLD GENTLEMAN.

Always sit next the carver, if you can, at
dinner ........
Ask no woman her age.
Be civil to all rich uncles and aunts
Never joke with policemen
Take no notes of gold with you to Fan
cy Bazaar; nothing but silver.
Your oldest hat, of course, for an evening
party.
Don't play at chess with widow
Never contradict man who shutters.
Pull down the blind before you put on
your wig.
Make friends with the steward on board
a steamer-there's no knowing how soon you
may be placed in his power.
In every strange house it is as we'll to in
quire where the brandy is kept-only think
if you were taken i'll in the middle of the
night!
Never answer crossing sweeper Pay
him Or pass quickly or silently on. One
work, and you are lost. .
Keep your own secrets. Tell no human
being you dye your whiskers.
Never offend butler-the wretch has too
many chances of retaliation
Write not one letter more than you can
help. The man who keeps up large cor
respondence is a martyr tied, not to the
Stake, but to the Post.
Wind up your conduct, like your watch,
once every day, examining infinitely wheth-
er you are ''fast" or ''slow."
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1869-03-26
