INFANT DAMNATION.

RURAL REIRsAT, June IL, ISIS.
Right glad are we TO learn that the esteemed
brother who edits this column repudiates the
dogma OF infant damnation. We must, how
ever, confess astoDlshment at his declaration,
that in ail his reading he has found no ono who
ever !teIered this doctrine. He saws: "Our
reading is not extensive, but 1t has been chiefly
IN that class oftheology which has been stigma
tizcd as holding to this horrid doctrine. We can
uuthtuliy say that we have never met with such
belief IN our reading" Now We know the
editor 10 be man Of truth, and we believe his
declaration As TO 1.-The extensiveness of his
reiIlins'' to be in keeping with his usual mod
e5ty. hence our astonishment. 1t requires no
very extensive amount of reading in theological
literature TO discover that some of the leading
teaching in that school of theology to which the
editor belongs have not hcsitated to avoid their
belief i'll the "horrid doctrine" DR.. Manfer,
;he great ohul ch hIstoron tells explicitly that
Ia" doctrine sf infant aannatlon was predomi-
nant in the church for many centuries after the
time OF CyprIan who lived IN the middle oil the
third century. lie also states that the council OF
Carthage y. ID. AIS. IN one of its canons eN-
pressly affirmed the doctrine of the eternal per-
Ii.tion ot all unbaptlzed infants. Every one ac-
quantrd with the history of christian doctrine
knows that abou. the middle of the third century

There, through the long long summer hours

And thick. young herbs, groups OF flowers
Stand in their beauty by.
The Orioie should build and tell
HIS love tale close beside my cell;
The idle butterfly
Should rest him there and there be- heard
The housewife bee and hunming bird.
And what If cheerful shouts at noon
Come. from the village sent,
Or songs OF maids beneath the moon.

And what IT. in the evening light,
Betrothed lovers walk in sight
OF my low monument?

Might know no sadder sight nor sound.

Nor would its brightness shine for me,
Nor its wild music flow;
But if around my place of sleep.
The friends love should come to weep,
They might not haste to go.
Soft airs. and song. and light and bloom
Should keep them lingering near my tomb
These to their softened hearts should bear
The thought OF what has been,

And deeply would their hearta rejoice

When the day is almost done,
On the wall two tremulOus shadows
OF faces Insit into one.
