Now let the reader remark this important point:
The true Protestant Bible doctrine is that the
adult coming to be baptised processes to have been
regenerated by the Holy Spirit before his baptism
which is sign and seal of what has already taken
place. He received a new heart when he believed
in Christ But in the Episcopal service for bap
sm it viii bopereeiyed that this is not the idea pre-
seuted The candidates are not get released from
their SINS not get regenerated, not yet made the
children Of God, and heirs of his kingdom. But
wait moment; let the waters be applied, aud see
how the whole language is instantly changed
Now they are no longer l0Qitag for the blessing OF
regeneration and remission of sin; 10, they have
received it, Thanks are returned that they have
been regeaerated, "born again, made heirs Of
everlasting salvation" Il is a spiritual change
effected.
Now this IS the doctrine of the Prayer Book, and
this is a strong germ Of Romauism. You may in
vent explanations to seventy times seven; the
germ is there. You may talk of the typical
the ecclesiastical, the charitable, the con
iitional, the Hypothetical theories, and as
many others as ingenious fancy can suggest it is
in vain. If any hypothesis could by possibility
apply to the case OF an infant; if it is baptized
upon the sosppostioa that it viii at some future
time exercise the faith which (by strange fig
ment it is made to promise by Its sponsors, no
such plea can avail in the case of adult baptism.
The Prayer Book brings the person up to the font
always uuregenerated, applies the holy water to
him. and To- he Instantly becomes therein new
man, spiritually changed, aud thanks are rendered
without any hypothesis attached to chem.
It is not surprising that Bishop Meade 50 deeply
regretted that he was economically compelled to use
such a service, but which, " said he, l neUer d,
,gjtbo,a PAIN because It's plain literal meaning con-
t-adjcts nly belief" We shall have occasion tc
mention that there are not few other Episcopa
iaus who are also ia state of great pau" under
this most painful operation; and no wonder,

we're safe, they hoped, though of them they had
not heard, that the remaining three were yet alive.
He mentions various reports that reached
them, with certain suspicious things, that led them
to fear for their own safety Some of the rumOrs
that were believed by the people turned out not to
be correct. Whilst the future is uncertain, they
have no idea of leaving their post, but assured
that what has taken place will be for the further
qnce of the gospel Already some were returning
and listening to the truth, and one inquirer from
the immediate village where the murdered Chris
tians lived has visited the missionaries more anx-
ous than ever to learn the truths ofreligion There
is, however, among the people great fear of the
authorities. No one feels safe. In this state of
things Mr.. McGilvary asks for the earnest prayers
of the Church for themselves and the cause"
The will of the late John NJ Hill, Esq, of Nash
vile, Tenn, bequeaths $50 600 of his large estate
to the First Presbyterian church of Nashville. 1t
is intended to be perpetual endowment fund.
The interest on $4,000 is to go toward educating
ministers Of that congregation, and on the other
$4,000 toward the support Of the poor Of the
church.

Sellers to write to Mr.. Logan what he did about
DR.. Wills When Logan urged US, and kept urg
ing us, to answer DR.. Wills's article, we asked
Sellers-the clerk of the session-simply to state
the facts in the case and nothing more But when
he states that Dr. Wills is an enemy of ours, that
he has tried to draw off our members and to dam
age us in other respects-he states these things on
his own responsibility, and ne states what is not
true. Sellers has not been long In Macon. and
knows very little about our former pastor; and for
his false statements in regard to him. we intend to
deal with him according to the Book
In conclusion. we have only to say that we never
had better friend than DR. Wills, both in slavery
and in freedom. When we were slaves, he, in
common with thousands Of Southern ministers,
did all he could for our present and eternal good ;
aud when we became free. his interest in us was
still the same He urged the Presbytery to estab
lish colored churches, to ordain colored ministers,
and to do all in their power to raise the black man
to higher social and moral condition; and to-day
there Is no minister of the gospel IN this broad
land wEols more highly respected and greatly be
loved by the cOlOred people generally than the
Rev. DR.. Wills
We have been led to state these facts from a
sense of duty, and not for the purpose OF stirring
up sectional strife or personal hatreds. God knows
that we desire to cultivate peace and harmony and
brothery love towards all men, and that we feel
deeply thankful to all those people every where
who are helping US to elevate and save our poor
benghted race. But when our old Southern friends
who have done so much for us, are misrepresented,
we feel bound to defend them and we will always
do the same for our Northern friends, when they
are accused wrongfully.

Poetic Justice The Ne,o York Evangelist,
of February oath, publishes an article which be-
gins thus:
The papers announce that a colored man by
the name of Hiram r. Reyels has recently been
elected to the Senate from Mississippi to fill the
chair so long vacant by the treason of the great
rebel, Jefferson Davis. Perhaps the history OF
the world cannot show an instance of more poetic
justice than is illustrated by the election Of this
man to this place..
The great principles of Constitutional law and
justice so far as the South is concerned, have long
ago nearly sunk below the horizon of the North.
Crippled and derided as the Supreme Court of The
United States has been since 1851, yet numerous,
Though ineffactual) decisions from that high tri,
bunal Of Justice attest the truth of this remark
1t is however somewhat gratifying to observe that
the people North getting tired OF the prose of their
proceedings concerning US, are at length betaking
themselves to the poetry of the thing. Having
made wreck Of justice, civil, political, constitu
tional, they take fancy at length to try their
hand upon justice poetical.
Well, We are pleased to agree for once with the
ErangeljSt President Davis, when in the Senate
OF the United States, was noble representative of
Southern people. To call the negro Revels one,
is to misuse language as a sign Of ideas Every
one knows how and by whom, WhittemOre, of
South Carolina, and whole batch of carpet bag
gers and negroes have been sent to Congress.
They go there, it is true, ostensibly from the
South, but represent Of course the sentim ent and
the power that sent them, What and where these
are, all the world knows, and knows they are not
from us-not even from our negroes if fairly ex-
pressed
Yes, we agree that there is pOetcal justice in
this thing. Negroes Whittemores, and such like
Though we feel like apologizing to the gentlemen
Of African descent for counting them in such COM
panyl are suitable representatives of their real
constituents and they have a rightful claim to all
the ''poetical justice" of the affair

Well Worth DOllar.-The Southern Chris
tim Adyocate appropriately says-"We publish
no advertisements of gift enterprises or anything
which resembles them, under another NAME
When a newspaper is offered for one dollar year,
and in addition packet Of gifts of one sort or an
other well worth dollar, the transaction to say
the least Of it, looks SO much like humbug, that
we cannot lend ourself to giving it currency among
our patrons, by advertising it. "

Mrs. Beeeher Stowe.-The London Quarterly
Reyje,o tor January, just received, has an article
which finishes this intermeddng woman's story
about Lord Byron. New matter, in the shape Of
authentic testimony is brought forward, and the
writer deals out such measures of scorchng crti-
cism as may be wholesome to Mrs. Stowe in the
future We did not doubt from the first that
she had JiJbed, and that her story was con-
trigance to make money; and thinking so, we said
so. This the Quarterly Revie1o intimates in spite
of its efforts to her veracity at the expense of
her understanding, and whoever may read its ex-
posure of the impudence and untruthfulness of
her statements will agree that the galiantry ever to
be observed towards lady who keeps within her
sphere, would have been out of place in regard to
Que who has left it to outrage all our feelings of
delicacy and to thrust her revolving fiction into the
face of refined society. 1t Can hardly be possible
that Mrs. Stowe will be tempted, even by the
hope of money, to make another reply.
Far be it from US to enter now, or at any time,
into scenes where this woman has invited others to
follow, and where she seems so much at home-
We only quote from this Quarterly a few sentences
to give an impression Of the way she is handled
Speaking of her astonishing Standardization, in
vain efforts to extrcate herself, the writer says:
"These coniectures are like the wild blows of
gladiator who has received his death wound, beat
ing the air before he falls Better for the discom-
fitted libeler to have gathered her robes tor proof
sheets about her and fallen, like Caesar with de-
cent dignity Can she now lay her hand upon her
heart and state that in her inmost conscience, she
believes she has elevated Lady Byrons character
or that any degree Of elevation while it required
or was capable of receiving, justified the pain she
has inflicted, or the scandal she has caused?"
After speaking of the way in which the evidence
brought out in the controversy had lowered in the
public mind It's former high estimate Of Lady By
ron's virtues, the reviewer remarks All this
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1870-03-02

has been changed by Mrs Beecher Stowe, whose
advocacy is of the exact kind deprecated by Sir
Peter Teazle in his request to Mrs. Candour.-
when l tell you, madam, that the lady they are
abusing is my particular friend, hope you'll not
take her part :"
" If a witness were to give such contradictory
reports of the same conversation in an English
court of justice he or she would be Immediately
committed for prevarcation
