For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
NO NEW HERESIES.


One of the strongest proofs in favor Of
Christianity is found in the fact that as a
complete system of doctrine it has been SC
often revived; which cannot be said of the
system by which it has been opposed. In
fidelity is continually changing front.
Yet it is quite remarkable that while no
distinct and well defined system of infdel
error has been maintained from generation
to generation, every modern opposer of the
Bible is found to be only the restorer of some
old notion that had its day and its death
long, long ago.
The same is true of the false religious
doctrines that prevail at the present time.
About two hundred and twenty-five years
ago, during the remarkable religious excite
ment that prevailed in England, and entered
so largely into the civil strife that resulted
in the establishment of the Common
wealth, Rev. Thomas Edwards, Presbyte.
rian divine, wrote famous work entitled,
Gangrana; or, Catalogue and DiscOv-
ery of many Of the Errors, Heresies, Bias,
phsmies and Pernicious Practices Of the
Sectaries Of this Time" Among more
than two hundred errors which he enumer-
ates, find the fOllowing-which have very
familiar face:
1. Right re-ooo is the rule of faith, and
We are bouD no further than we
can understa
?. That man S soul is a part of the divine
essence, and when he dies it will return to
God again.
3. That no man shall go to hell for any
sin but unbelief
4. That men may be saved without Christ,
and that the very heather may be saved il
they live according to the light they have.
5. There is no hell but in this life, con.
sisting in fear, remorse, &c.
6. That many now have greater knowledge
than the Apostles, because the Church was
then in its infancy.
7. That it is as lawful to break any of the
ten Commandments as to baptize an infant
(held now by many Bapti8ts in Virginia, and
more so.
s. That ministers of the Gospel should
work with their own hands, and not burden
the Church-(held by some theoretically, by
none practically
8. That to Christians all days are alike
and there is no obligation to keep the Lord,
day.
10. That it is as lawful for women tc
preach as for men.

pray at all.

spirit, remembering that, cit is not by might
nor by power, but by my Spirit saith the
Lord"
The mites of Gods poor are as fruitful
as the dollars of the rich. Nay, the widows
mite was more than all the rich had cast in.
Now everybody has some money, sometimes,
and by a little foresight may generally be
provided for the Sabbath collections. Let
everybody, therefore, have the opportunity
to give, on every Lords day, or every time
they assemblein the sanctuary for public wor-
ship. Depend upon it if the heart is right,
the Christian will so utilize his goods as to
be able to contribute, 'as the Lord hath
prospered him '-i'a money. This admitted,
land experience proves it, your correspou-
dent from Rome, Ga, is right-there is no
community in which the plan of weekly col
lections cannot be made available"

DR.. DOllinger on the POpes IufallibiIity.

Among the most noteworthy items of in
terest in the foreign journals are the notices
respecting DR.. Dollinger's letter in reply to
the petition of the Bishops for the declara-
ton of Papal infallibility. The letter itself
is a courageous protest and mastery argu-
ment, and will be valuable for centuries to
come as transcript of the so.called Ger
man Catholic mind, which has felt something
of the general effect of evangelical charity
and Protestant freedom of thought. In
looking over the extracts which have been
published, we are impressed with the scathing
earnestness of the man in dealing with this
question, and the merciless severity with
which he exposes the fallacy of the preten-
sions on which the dogma is based. He be-
gins by saying the Bishops are signing ad-
dresses in which the Pope is besought, on the
part of the Council, to declare himself infal-
lible; that is to say, Gone hundred and
eighty millions of human beings are hence
forth to be forced, on pain of excommuni-
cation, refusal of the sacraments, and ever.
lasting damnation, to believe and profess
that which the Church hitherto has not be-
lieved, not taught" He argues that the
declaration of this dogma as an article of
faith affects the whole foundation of the
Church, and openly charges the trainers of
the petition with saying what is not true in
asserting that according to the general and
constant tradition of the Church, the iudg-
ments of the Pope are unalterable, because
the Church has always first examined the
dogmatic utterances of the Popes, and then
either agreed to, or rejected them, as was
done by the Fifth Council in 553 and by the
Sixth in 601. He charges them with mutila.
ton of their quotations, and denounces the
Jesuits as the originators of the whole plot.
The faithful in Rome say that DR.. Dollinger
is the Antichrist

Fairly Caught.

There are more ways than one to convey
gentle and effectual admonition to an err
ring brother. Here is a good story of the
olden time that will illustrate our meaning,
and who knows but that it may suit GER
tain locality not a thousand miles from this?
Rev Mr.. - had preached to one of the
congregations of his circuit, and as was the
custom of the Methodist preachers in those
days, after preaching, held class-meeting
He had questioned each brother and sister
on the subject of their experience and prac-
tice, and enjoyment of the divine life, CIV
ing each word of encouragement, comfort,
and advice, until all the members had been
questioned but certain prominent Church
member, who, it seemed, owned distillery,
but kept it in the mountains, son the sly,
as he thought" Mr.. - had, however,
found out the fact, and after some serious
conversation with others the following took
place:
Preacher. Well, brother Jerry, how do
you come on making whisky?
Brother. Somewhat startled.) 0, l
don't know, exactly; tolerably well enough.
Preacher. Well, brother, what do you
give for corn?
Brother. Fifty cents buShel. Ahem
Preacher. Fifty cents! Very cheap
that, I should say. But another question,
How much whisky do you suppose one bushel
of corn will make?
Brother. Cant say. I suppose about
three gallons. Very much confused.)
Preacher. $50! three gallons Why,
that's considerable turn out, should Judge.
But, brother, what do you get gallon for
whisky?"
Brother. Cooking rather wild.) GA
dollar and half.
Preacher GA dollar and half Two
hundred per cent, and that, too, | reckon,
by the barrel. You get more by the Jug
full, suppose. But tell me, brother, isn't
the sOps very good to fatten hogs?"
Brother Eyes, very good"
Preacher. "And wont your hogs come
mighty nigh paying for the corn?'
Brother. (Red as beet.) "Well, very
nigh it"
Preacher. "But to come down to the
question. Brother, do you make good ar
ticle? Will it bear bead?"
By this time the poor delinquent was per-
fectly overwhelmed with confusion, and wished
he had never seen a distillery nor the preach
er either. But M. knew his man, and after
the meeting adjourned took him aside and
demonstrated with him with such good ef-
feet that he actually broke up his dstillery
and became consistent Methodist. But it
was a long time before his neighbors forgot
to ask him whether he "made good art.

REPRooF.-Reproof is bitter pill; but
let it be silvered over with kindness. Bitter
reproach is worm-wood instead of salt to a

Reproof, like medicine, should not be ad-

oil, it will drive the better.

Sabbath School Convention of Lexington
Presbytery.

A very brief account of this Convention was given
last week. We find condensed report in the
StauntOn Spectator, prepared by the Rev. c. S. M
See, one of the Secretaries, and which contains so
many suggestions on the various points presented to
the attention of the body that it is believed they will
be instructive and interesting to our readers. The
remarks of Major Stiles have, at our request, been
prepared by himself with more fulness and will be
given next week. 1t is very gratifying to know that
this Convention so we'll attended, and that such
fine spirit animated all its proceedings. May it be
blessed as the means of great good to the churches

says:
"The county boundary suit between
Lyon, Storey and Washoe counties.
which was originally brought In this
county, after two trials in the District
Court of Ormsby County, where it was

nesses, and a failure upon the part OF
the jury to agree in each case, ha-
been remanded back to this county for
further proceedings. The first trial At
| Carson the jury stood eight for Lyon
and four for Washoe; and the second
trial the jury stood six and six. The
question at issue between the counties
involves the title to and Jurisdiction

PANIC IN BosToN Music HAIL.-The
Boston Post Of the 10th inst, says: A
panic occurred In Music Hall last even-

onsly. About nine O'Clock. during the
exhibition of the Montgomery Guard,
a seat in the gallery, u~pon&which sew
eral persons we're standing, gave way,
and during the excitement consequent
thereupon, the cry Of fire was wlckcdly
raised. CONSERVATION was ut once
spread among the vast audience pres
ent, which consisted of some l,00Opcr-
sons, and II rush was wildly made for
the doors. Many persons were knocked
down and trodden upon, and several
ladies tainted. Fortunately the man-
ayers of the fair and soinc other per
sons had the good sense and presence
of mind to Shout with s%tentorian voice
that the alarm was without any good
foundation. and that there was no OF,
casion to apprehend danger. The au'
dienee was thereby Don pacitied,
though not before hundreds rushed out
Of the building In the widest dismay
1t only needed the panic to have gone
a little further TO have involved tho
most frightful consequences. The per
SOIL who gave the alarm was guilty o.
an act which he should repent for the
rest of his days. It is no fault Of lii
that hundreds Of lives were not cruelty
sacrificed.
