Liberal Credulousness.

Littleton Waller Tazewell, of Virginia, once
said, at the table of John Quincy Adams,
that "he had mover known Unitarian who
did not believe in the sea serpent" He
meant to intimate that their rejection of the
doctrine of the Trinity was not occsaioned by
lack of Scriptural evidence in its support,
since, in every other department Of enquiry
they were ready to accept alleged facts in the
absence of sufficient evidence. Their creed
could not be regarded as token of freedom
from credulity on all questions aside from it.
The force Of this representation is height.
ened by the credence given on the part Of
Unitarians to the more recent speculstions Of
Darwin, Huxley and Tyndall, with their To-
gical drift toward Materialism and Atheism.
They remind us of Isaac Vosius, whom
Charles II. pronounced "a strange divine,
who believed everything the Bible"

THE PROMISE OF TIE HOLY SPIRIT, AND

The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1877-05-17

Q Lord, with what care hast thou begirt US round,
Parents first season US; then school-masterS.
Deliver us to Law; They send US bound
To rules of reason, holy messengers
Pulpits and Sundays sorrow dogging sin,
Affections sorted, anguish OF all sizes;
Fine nets and stratagems to catch usin;
Bibles laid open millions of surprises;
Blessings beforehand ties of gratefulness;
The sound of glory'ringng in our earsi
Without, our shame within our consciences;
Yet all these fences and their whole array,
One cunning bosom sin blows quite away"

Sure as thy truth shall last,
To Zion shall be given,
The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of Heaven"
III. Let us now make an application of
our Lords teachings respecting the gift of
the Holy Spirit.
1. The promise of the Spirit, given by
Luke and Matthew, is of general purport
and includes that special gift, of which John
has given US the record. But the terms of
encouragement to prayer are really common
to both. In the first case indeed we have
the grounds of that encouragement, set forth
in the form of an argument from the less to
the greater. If earthly parents, being evil,
know how to give good gifts to their children,
how much more shall the Father IN Heaven
give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him.
Parental instinct is not 80 trustworthy as
Divine benefcence. Even mothers may for
get their children. But God never forgets
them who humbly seek His favors. Brethren,
are we not all needing to mediate on this
exceeding great and precious promise I Do
we not need to live by it, in all our duties,
privileges and relations in life3 In the du.

Az OPPORTUNITY FOR xEMpHrs.

st. Louis, after having done
everything possible TO crush the
trade of Memphis, to carry away
trade from our very doors and even
attempting to build up an artificial
cotton market, becomes pathetic and
even suppliant at the early pros
pect Of losing a trade which has
been seized and held by main force
as it were. The Globe Democrat
of the Sd says:
mot to speak of Western Missouri
and Southern and Central I%llinois. all
whose Enpplies should be purchased in a
St. Louis market, it is worth while to re.
member the trade we have lost in the
Southeast. Before the war we used to
sell hundreds Of thousands Of dollars
worth of goods in Kentucky, Tennessee,
Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, but
Cincinnati, Louisville and Chicago have
cut US gu. Of that trade, and now grow
rich on per eentagss that are properly
ours, and would have been kept BY our
merchants had only ordinary diligence
been used for their retention. But We
neglected extending our railroad connec
tons, relied on our natural advantages
and the consequences are painfully ap
parent to everybody who feels sufficient
interest to investigate the subject"

rae ExrRA SESSION POsrPONED.

The extra session of congress,
which there was every reason to
believe would be called to meet
early in June, has been postponed
until the fifteenth of October. The
reasons given for this change of
intention are not altogether clear
in the morning dispatches, which
we publish. If there was any real
necessity a week or a month ago
for calling a session to meet in
June it exists now. 1t will no
doubt be set down by a portion
of the public as evidence that Hayes
does not care at present to give
Blaine and other extreme Republic
cans an opportunity to attack what
is called his Southern policy"
This may be the real reason, al
though another is given out semi
officially through the Associated
Press. We are inclined to think
there is no absolute necessity for a
session as early as June. The eco
nomlcal measures forced through
congress at the last session by the
Democrats have taken effect and
the wheels Of government arc not
yet stopped. The Republicans have
asserted a thousand times hal the
last house of representatives. had
crippled the various departments
of the government by refusing to
make adequate appropriations But
Mr.. Hayes has been in power two
months to-day and gives a prac-
tical denial to these reckless as
sertions by declining to convene
congress in extra session un-
til the middle Of October. The
country can and will thank the
Democratic party for these reforms
which viii now have a full and fair
test. Mr.. Hayes has come down to
the Democratic idea of reform, and
his party will have to submit. The
people demand it in spite Of the
politicians who have lived so
long on strife and fattened
at public expense. The dismissal
of a large force, although working
a hardship in many individual cases,
aud the cutting down Of extraya.
CANT expenditures in nearly all the
departments, is the direct result of
Democratic policy, insisted upon
in the last house Of representatives,
and demanded by the whole party
and by good men everywhere Of all
parties.

SUSPENDED FOR HEREBY

The trial Of Rev. DR.. John Mil
Ter, a Presbyterian minister Of New
Jersey, for heresy, which has been
in progress some days at Trenton,
was concluded yesterday, and by a
unanimous vote of the Presbytery
he was suspended from the ministry
until such time as he shall make
manifest, to the satisfaction Of the
Presbytery, his remuneration of the
errors he holds. Great interest
has been manifested in this un.
usual case, not only in the
highly influential and intelligent
denomination to which the doctor
belongs, but by others and outsiders
who claim no church preference.
DR.. Miller lately published a book,
Questions Awakened by the Bible, "
in which he denies three cardinal
doctrines Of the Presbyterian Con
fession of Faith, viz: The immor-
tality Of the soul, the Trinity, and
the sinlessness of Christ. He holds
that the soul has no existence apart
from the body, win die with it and
rise with it at the resurrection that
Christ was a sinner, inheriting sin
from Adam, but he holds that
Christ was divine and God incar-
nate, sin being transmitted to him
through his mother. The Trinity,
he fatty repudiates as q doctrine
Migrated on the christian religion
from Plato's philosophy and Juda-
ism-incomprehensible and a STUN
ling block. Such a wide departure
from Presbyterian doctrine adhered
to could not possibly result other
wise than in his suspension. DR..
Miller said it was amply a moral
and intellectual impossibility for
him to renounce his views and gave
notice OF an appeal to the synod.
He claims to have held such views
for over twenty years, but it appears
had never expressed himself with
entire freedom until recently.

A COMPLAINT AaAINsr RAILROADS.

~ 11nAA 4nAAA A4AANGA 0nA140h@N
The railroad connections between this
place and Memphis are simply awful.
1t has always been SO. Whenever one
road changes the schedule so that 1t cor
responds with that Of the other, the other
| changes its schedule so that the same old
trouble Of not connecting ia to contend
with again. We are friends of both
roads. We wish them big luck all round,
but we want to see a little harmony in
the connection between here aSd Mem
phis. Grand junction is a nice place,
and has nice people in it; we like the
place and we like the people, but when
we are on business we like to 90 right
along and get through with it. For
mercy's sake let our feeble voice be
heard. Holly Springs Reporter, 81.
The railroads have different in
terests and will never heed such
complaints. Memphis and Holly
Springs should unite and build a
narrow.gauge railroad direct. When
Colonel Vaughan gets through with
the Brownsville and Memphis mar
row-gauge, which he will soon with.
out doubt, he should be invited to
come down and take hold of this
practical and important enterprise.
Memphis wants three such roads
the one now in course Of eonstruc-
ton to Union City via Brownsville,
the Memphis and Knoxville as far
as Tennessee river, and the road to
Holly Springs. All these roads can
be built ty a man like Vaughan if
the people interested will unite, and
they will be Self-suStaining from the
start.
