Recent Publications.

The Presbyterian Board of Publication phil
adelphia) have done good thing in bringing
out a brief and popular history of the Jews,
which will prove of great value to that large
class OF readers who have neither the time nor
the taste for more serious historical study. The
title of this little work (12mo, DID. 475) is
From Exile to Overthrow a History of the
Jews from the Babylonian Captivity to the De-
struction of the Second Temple" By the Rev.
John W. Mears, D. D., author of {" Heroes Of
Bohemia" Beggars of Holland" STORY of
Madagascar" ETC., etc. The work commences
with the capture of Jerusalem by the Chaldeans
and ends with the capture of the same city
Ga. D. 10Y by the Romans. We do not know
why 1t is that our young people are required to
read SO much Grecian history and Roman histo
ry when SO little attention is given to the his
tory of Gods chosen peOple--a history eminent
ly important in its bearing on Christianity
The price of this volume is $l.4o.

offerings of the Old Testament. "The
lord loveth cheerful giver" was as ap-
plicable under the old, as it is under the
new dispensation To have taken the
t1hes for the poor saints would have been
transportation of funds; and the
right to use tithes thus would preclude
the propriety of the exhortation to hber-
olty, Cor. 9th and 9th chapters. OBJ

as to tithes, they belonged to God; it

9th. Strange Paul didn't blame the
churches for not supporting him with
their tithes. He made Tents etc. 1t is
plain that he, in the exercise of his Chris
tian liberty, declined what he believed
he might have demanded as a riqht. This
is clearly the teaching of l Cor. tx where
his own conduct in waving this riqht is
used as an illustration of what he had
taught in previous chapter (the Sth) re-
speeding the use or abuse of Christian
Liberty; Where his right except by the
old tithe-law which they recognised to
be still in force? @

was patriarchal? Why not circumcision
then am not here arguing the con-
nection between circumcision and bap-
tism, or | should just mention that our
Saviour, in whom the two dispensations
beautifully meet (for He engrafted one
upon the other) was both circmmcised and
6apttsed. The 1.-THE, however, is discov-
cred before circumcision was ordained.
The secret cause of the objections is
disclosed The answers have been sub
mltted to the director. He says they
are ingenious Some weaker points he
made have been omitted. The perilous
position to which he has been forced in
his views concerning the Sabbath is also
unnoticed. After this free interchange
of views the objector says he intends to
be more careful about the amount he gives
in the future. Will every reader initiate
him that far? Are the answers scrip
tural? "ELDER."

Tithing Objections An
SWered

Continued from Central of February 2Sd.)
- Delay unintentional-no discourtesy
to our Baptist objector. Additional
voices of approval aud cooperation have
come from South Carolina, Missouri.
Texas Alabama, etc. Recall now the
doctrine advocated, viz: the 1.-THE the
minimum of the Christians oblation, etc..
to be appropriated to ministerial support.
Three objections were answered. Here
is the 4th I" 1t tends to make people for
get that every thing they have belongs
to the Lord a man pays his rent, and
uses the rest Of his substance as he
Pleases-' ~ 1t has the very opposite ten
dency. The 1.-THE is token Of consecro-
tom, and that only. This is its signifi-
canoe. Mr.. Houston's point Opp. 10 and
20, OF How is your Minister Support
edY') is clear and forcible. We saw we
are not our own, we are bought with the
precious blood of Christ, that "henceforth
we should live not unto ourselves. but
unto Him who died for us" etc. Re-
deemed, in every faculty, power, and pos
session, we consecrate our all to God {:
our ID persons, (2) children, (3) time.
(Q substance. Old Testament saints did
the same. They rendered tokens of con-
secration so do we Notice figures above
Ioken8.-Old Testament, ~ circum-
cision, ~ circumcision, (3) Sabbath, az
tithe. New Testament, % baptism, (2)
baptism, ~ Lord Day, (4) 1.-THE. The
standard Of conservation is the same.
Thus Gods children under both dispen-
sations recognise His sovereign RIGHT in
all their substance. Surely then the ten
dency is not to make man forget the onlv
thing the 1.-THE is intended to teach, viz :
that he belongs entirely to the Lord in
every part of his person and possessions
that all must be used for Gods glory.
What is the certain result where this
doctrine Of the 1.-THE is received and prac-
ticed? It's obvious. Free-will and thank
offerings are poured down at the Sa-
viour's feet for His work, beyond that
particular branch of it to which the 1.-THE
is to be appropriated
9th. why didn't Paul take that col
lection for the church at Jerusalem ont
OF the t5the fund at Corinth22 Instead
OF that, his rule was, as the Lord hath
prosPered." Certainly, because in that
very same letter 10Th chapter) Paul had
already told the Corinthians how their
t1thes were to be used. This collection
for the poor saints was over and above
their t1theS; it was their free will offer
1ngs, exactly answering to the free-will

For the Central Presbyterian
DR.. Thornwe1l and Reform

Mes8rs. Eo7itors,-It has came to pass
by some means that no discussion of any
question in the Southern Church, doc
trinal ecclesiastical or economical, can
be regarded as complete, until the au-
thority Of DIR. Thornwell has been quoted
on the one side or the other or both.
Whether this is desirable state of
things is question that will admit of a
difference Of opinion in different quar-
tiers. But inasmuch as by common con-
sent it is agreed that he should be quoted
and recognized as more or less of an au-
thority, it becomes matter of some i'm
portance that his name should not be
dragged into the service of that side OF
any question to which his principles
were opposed. The effort to do this we
think has been made by several of the
advocates Of the Majority Report.
The author Of that Report says, (,South-
ern PresbWerjan,Ap april 18th The Ma
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1881-05-11

jority Report does appeal to the untram-
melted work of such master builders as
Dr. Thornwell, ETC."
That racy and discursive champion of
the Majority, Back Country Elder" in
No. 3 of his first series in the South
aOesterm Presbyterian says, eff we mis-
take not the present organization Of the
Southern Presbyterian Church is sub
stantially in accordance with DR.. Thorn
wells views"
The Secretary of Foreign Missions, in
the last number of the Southern Presbu-
terrain Revaea0, says, "Dr. Thornwell had
hand In constructing the constitution
OF the Executive Committee of Foreign
Missions, and said at the time that he
was not only satisfied with it, but that
every thing had been secured in it which
he had ever contented for in the united
Church"
The design of these statements of
course is to claim the weight of DR..
Thornwell's name on the side of the
Majority Report Now on turning to
his published writings we find him ad-
vocatlng every one of the principles of
the Minority, SO pointedly and strenously
as to suggest, if we did not know to the
contrary, that the whole inspiration of
the Reform movement came from him.
In vol. ", PIP. 190-2O6, for instance,
we lind him contending for-1. Strict
adherence to scriptural methods, as
against what we venture to call the
somewhat latitudinarian views of the
majority, and especially the reasonings
Of our honored Secretary on pages 272-
275 Of the Re0ae,o. 2. The management
OF all secular affairs pertaining to the
Church by Deacons, as against "Back-
Country Elders" protest against drag
ging forth the deacon from his sacred re-
tirement." 8. And even going so far
beyond the Minority Report as to advo-
cate the management of Foreign Missions
by the Presbyteries. We throw the bur
den OF quoting the passage referred to on
any one who may choose to dispute the
accuracy of this statement. Ant; we as
sumo fortiori, from the above, that
were he living now he would be foremost
in contending for the demanding of the
management of Home Missions to the
Presbyteries.
We are not of those who believe in
settling such questions as this simply by
appealing to names; but when names are
quoted, let them be assigned to that side
OF the question to which they properly
belong
The solution of the apparent dis
crepancy between Dr.. Thornwell's pub
lished writings and what our venerable
Secretary testifes to having heard him
say is probably this While he was
great believer in those abstract princi-
pies which are the bette aaoir of so-called
practical men, he was at the same time
a truly practical man himself, and when
ne could not get all he wanted, was
ready to take what he could get and
make the best of it.
Yours truly, FAIR PLAY.
