The plan, in the language of the report
that recommends its adoption, " is simple in
its operation, and falls in with the arrange
ments belonging to our Presbyterian Form
of Government"
Moreover, it is not proposed as substi-
tute for our present system of benevolence,
but only as an auxiliary scheme to render
the present more effective. The objects for
which contributions are asked are the same.
They pass through the same channels. The
times and methods of collection remain un-
changed. There is to be no jar in the ma
chinery by substituting one system for an
other. 1t is merely proposed to make our
present plan of contributions more effective,
by giving more definite information, by the
exercise of Presbyterial supervision, and thus
giving to every one the opportunity of con-
tributing, and stimulating all to greater lib
erality. W. A. G.

believe, that they are in an unregenerat
state though they have been solemnly conse
Grated to God and baptized.
l most earnestly, yet respectfully anG
humbly submit that both of these teachings
cannot be correct. One of them must be an
error, and if an error, it must be vital and
most mischevous error. If we have the
right to bring our children to Jesas-to con-
secrate them to Him ;.if we should make this
gift with earnest solcitude and prayer if
we have any sufficient warrant for this dedi-
cation, and any promise that Jesus will not
despise or reject it.; if He can give, and has
promised to give, his blessing to every child
thus consecrated to Him, then surely the act
of conservation should be performed yith
the full assurance Of simple, trusting, child
like faith. That being done, how dare that
psrent--in the nature of the case how can
he, proceed to educate that child on the prin.
ciple that it is in an unrenewed state until
the contrary clearly appears! To pursue
such a course is to renounce the conservation
heretofore made, and to show by our works
that the faith exercised in all the prayers
and act of dedication was dead faith, which
failed to lay hold Of Christ, and thus dis
honored his promise and his love.
l most solemnly entreat all Christian pa.
rents to dedicate their children to God with
a full and unquestioning faith, believing that
in every such case the Lord Jesus will re-
ceive the gift and bestow his blessing upon
the child. And let every parent from the
date of such dedication educate his child
upon the principle that it is redeemed child,
and as such, may rejoice in its portion with
q JOY that is unspeakable and full of glory

PROPOSED PLAN FOR BENEVOLENT
CONTRIBUTIONS.
ITS WORKING.

According to the proposed plan for contri-
buttons, each General Assembly is to appoint
a Committee, who, in conference With the
Secretaries of the four schemes of benevo-
lence, shall make careful estimate of the
amount that will probably be needed for the
work of each Committee for the following
year. These amounts are then to be equi-
tably apportioned among the Presbyteries,
upon the basis of their pecuniary ability, &C.
cording to the best information before the
Assembly, or its Committee AS this is to
be done annually, if the apportionment of
the first year is found to be unequal, care
full revision will enable the Assembly to
make the division more equitable for the
next year.
In like manner each Presbytery at its fall
meeting will, through Permanent Commit
tee on contributions, apportion the amount
assigned it among its churches according to
their respective ability. But the apportion-
ment is not carried farther; it does not reach
the individual. Each church is left to COL
lect the amount assigned it, as it collects
money for its own use, whether by a church
collection, subscription list, or any other
approved method. The individual is left as
free to give according to his own view Of
duty, as he is under the present system.
1t is not proposed to keep any account
with Presbyteries or with the churches. II
they are delinquent, the duty of faithfulnesE
in discharging their solemn obligation in this
matter, may. properly be urged upon them
but no charge Of any unpaid debt is to bt
kept against Presbytery or church. Al
the beginning of new year all start upor
the same footing again only that the expe
rience of the past year may lead to more
equitable apportionment for the year tt
come.
The estimates will be increased from yea
to year to meet the demands of the CROWN.

The foregoing summary of results reached
in this discussion, is substantially that given
by the author, and in some particulars in his
own words.
The space occupied in this analytical re-
view of "Classical Baptism" has rendered
it necessary to dispose of the three other
volumes, in briefer manner. This, how
ever, is rendered less to be regretted by rea-
son of the fundamental character of the re-
suits obtained, as affecting the discussion Of
those volumes.
In the discussion of Judaic Baptism, DR..
Dale has examined over one hundred and fifty
examples of the use of baptidzO, by Jewish
writers, through period of several centuries,
embracing its application to matters apart
from religion and to religious rites. In this
way he shews that these writers are governed
by the same principles and recognize the same
Fundamental meaning of baptidzO as have been
illustrated by Greek classical writers; thus
confning the conclusions reached in "Classic
Baptism" and clearly settling the distinc,
tive character of Jewish baptism. The ex-
amples are susceptible of the same claSsi6ca-
tion. We have thorough change of condo
ton, o. as in ships sunk without recovery,
