Eigh Baptist.

The most brilliant specimen Of consistency we
have met with in long time, is presented by the
Baptist Battle Flag. Rev. W. Q. VanMeter, who
few months ago addressed Christian audiences of
several denominations in this city, writes from
Rome, Italy, that be had consented to render some
assistance to the work of Methodist missionary
in that place. He says" though our hands are
go full we know not what to do, still they need our
help and so earnestly request it, and as it gave us
the opportunity Of useful c. oeraton, We could not
say no. Are We not rightY
Whereupon the man of the Baule FLAG " goes
for" Door brother VanMeter as follows:
"We are panied at this information. If brother
VanMeter can have useful CT peration' with the
Methodists to build up the Methodist society. he
can with equal prOprety join the Methodistq. We
will not be surprised to hear of bis having useful
CO operation with the mother of abomiuations ere
long. We need missionaries who will aid the truth
alone"
Most people who bear the name Christian will
heartily commend the brotherly conduct of Mr.
VanMeter. They will see in it an illustration of
the unity of Professionalism, and of that oneness
which the Saviour prayed might cha.aoterze His
people. But the man with the Battle Flag is con-
sistent with Baptist principles which insist that
immersion is essential to membership In the Church
of Christ We admire his consistency, but detest
his principles A little of q" the washing of regen.

Walnut Street Church, St. Louis.
THE POWER OF A CHURCH SESSION.

The st. Louis Presbyterian says We are privi-
lodged to insert the following communication to
member Of Walnut Street church, from the pastor
of one Of the largest churches in stronghold OF
Northern Presbyteriauism. 1t will be observed
that he expresses the views of other ministers as
we'll as his own.
My Dear Sir,-Your letter With accompanying
papers was duly placed in my hand and at the
earliest moment at my disposal has received such
attention as the limited time would admit. What
follows in answer to your interrogatores and the
general subject, will submit to some of the breth,
rem here, and should they dissent from any of these
positions | will add it at the end
l may say In advance, that | read an account of
the proceedings at the time in the ST. Louis Pres
byterian, and | then made up my mind that the
Presbytery was right and the Session of the Wal.

congregation from one ecclesiastical connection to
another on any ground pretense. or request what
soever. not even though it were the unanimous re-

vote of the Session, the ecclesiastical connections

Nay, verify; such thing is preposterous and ab

An Hundred fold Reward.

A correspondent of the Interior writes: An Incl
dent was related to me few days ago that Illus
trates the truth under consideration very closely,
but not any more SO than do hundreds of other in
cidents in the history of grace. He who narrated
it is clergyman. He says that when he was g
student in the New York Theological Seminary, his
circumstances compelled him to employ his time
between study hours in making money to pay his
expenses. He realized something from the sale Of
certain books for which he had an agency. One
Sabbath morning he was drawn to the church of
the celebrated DR.. James w. Alexander. The ell
oquent preacher made on that day as appeal for
the American Bible Society, such as he only could
make. The student became deeply interested in
the sermon, and as collection was to be taken up,
he mourned his inability to contribute. True, he
had in his pocket 50 so gold coin. This was his
ALL and he had set his heart on carrying it the next
day to his washer woman, to whom he was indebt-
ed just that sum.
When the sermon was ended and the collectors
began to wait on the congregation, that gold coin
seemed to be disturbed ard disposed to get ont Of
his pocket The conscience of the poor student
was troubled. There indeed was the poor old wo-
man who probably needed her money, but how
could be resist this appeal in the name of the Mas
ter? Would it not be we'll to take no thought for
the morrow /" SO his good angel suggested
There was not much time for consideration, for
the plate went the gold coin Now WHISPERED
his Satanic Majesty, "you have done it. Sinful
extravaganza. Think of the poor, suffering woman
who has kept you in clean linen and who needs her
money. You were fooled out Of it bythat sophis-
teal sermon, aud you will see the folly of trusting
to an antiquated Scripture passage when you come
to pay that bill to morrow"
"Get thee behind rae, Sa!su," we're the words
that now came up in the mind of the young theo-
ogue. As yet no provision had been made for
paying that laundry bill His pocket was empty
but his conscience on the subject of the Bible So
oiety was clear and he believed that in some way
the Lord would provide. Next morning on his
way to the Seminary, he called on gentleman to
deliver to him book for which he had subscribed
the price of which was 50 so The subcriber re-
ceived his book aud handed to the student SIS 90
gold coin, and in SO doing requested him not to
hand back any change The student Immediately
recalled his donation of the previous dsv, and his
subsequent colloquy with Satan-$2 50XS2 So
So 90 He had already made similar ventures, and
God had always indemnif ed him fully for his out
lay. The purchaser of the book knew nothing of
his circumstances, and when questioned on the
subject, remarked pleasantly Perhaps you stu
dents haven't any more money than you need. Use
the change coming to me just as you please" Ii
pleased him that afternoon to call and pay the
laundry-bill, and now, after lapse of many years
and varied experience, bis faith 10 offerings made
for the Lord is stronger than ever

only to consider and report, but to deliberate
and conclude the business submitted to them;
and our present Discipline also allows Com
missions to take testimony in certain cases.
Besides some other less important matters to
be concluded by Commissions, it is provided
