! am glad that &c. D. A, represen
tative member of the committee Of reyis-
ION, has given us the ground on which
they base the doctrine 1 object to in the
Form for Infant Baptism Ny object
was to direct attention to this point when
it shall come up for discussion before the
Presbyteries. | will not reply to &c.
d. A. lest reply might lead to more
protracted discussion than would be ac
ceptable to the mass of the readers of this
paper; but wish to make an explanation.
L did not use the word sponsors" in
the restricted sense, which &c. d. A."
quoting Chambers Encyclopedia, calls
the theological sense" but in the COM
mon sense of the English word. The law
or custom of the churches he names. and
not the sense of the word, gives in those
churches an application Of the phrase
sponsors in baptism" which excludes
the parents. l was speaking of making
parents sponsors in baptism, and did not
suppose my language could be understood
to refer to practice which l knew ex-
GUIDED parents. W. A G.

Spiritualism.

From Cape Cod to California letters
have been received by us expressive of
intense regret on the part of the writers
that splritualism and superstition have
been reinforced and encouraged by the
statements of Mr.. Joseph Cook and DR..
Tying, Jr We are assured that snirit.
uallsts claim Mr.. Cooks facts as strongly
favorlng their views. His name is again
mixed In this matter, not by us, but by
MIR. Epes Sargent, an eminent advocate
OF Splrltuallsm, who writes to the Inde-
pendent, saying that Mr.. Joseph Cook
got up the seance at his (Mr. Sargent's)
house, without his invitation or sugges-
ton; that two states, with not word on
them, were put together, with slate
pencil between them, sound was heard
and intelligent writing was shown on the
states. Then Mr.. Joseph Cook spontane-
ously, and unexpectedly to Mr.. Sargent,
drew up paper, at his table, and signed
1t, with four witnesses, certifying:
" We cannot apply to these facts any
theory of fraud, and we do not see how
the writing can be explained, unless mat
ter IN the slate-pencil was moved without
contact
Anu ChlS oPirlGuallstlc miracle, which
bewildered Mr.. Joseph Cook so com
pletely that he voluntarily wrote and
signed the above certificate, is 7ao,y pub
licly performed on the stage as a clever
trick, as it is, and there is not in Boston
a fool outside of the Spiritualistic circle
so stupid as to believe it to be anything
but trick.
Mr.. Cook also made much of the conch-
shell experiment, which it was alleged
passed through solid table, and was
found lying hot on the floor. He said
but as he afterwards claimed), hypo
thetically
Matter passes through matter. A
conch-shell passes through table and
drops on the floor. How can that be ex-
planned? How did our Lord enter a
room when the doors were shut?"
This trick, which proved so formida
BILE an argument in favor of Spiritualism
that Mr.. Cook illustrates it by reference
to our Lords miraculous entrance into
room when the door is shut,-this trick
is now cleverly performed every day, or
any day, for the entertainment of com
pany.-N Y Observer.

Reports on Retrenchment.

If preceding article has secured a
reading for the pamphlet aforesaid-to
wit. The Reports on Retrenchment and
Reform-we are prepared to take another
step.
l. Let us start out with this statement:
If we arise from the reading and study
of the Reports with the impression that
there ought to be retrenchment and re-
form In the management of our benevo-
lent enterprises, it is our duty to use all
legitimate means to that end. This no
one can deny

positively. TIE proposed reform aoiH do

lent schemes as effectively as the plan
under which we are now working. End.
1t will save a great deal of money which
might be much more benefcially used.
The reasons leading to this second state
ment are LIST, The majority report says
the efficacy with which the Churchs work
is done depends upon-First A proper
distribution Of labor Second, Perma-
nency of plan. Third, Direct, frequent,
and easy accountability of agents.
Fourth, Fitness Of agents. Fifth, Conf
dence and support Of the Church.
The minority report seems to show
clearly that neither of these conditions is
fully satisfied under the present plan.
If this be true, then reasoning from the
statement of the majority, Of the five con-
ditions necessary to success, our present
system ought to be abandoned-fo it is
not thinkable-that if those are the con-
ditions of success in our Church's carry.

What we Can do to Check In
temperance.

l recently visited two villages, not
many miles apart, in both of which eff
forts had been made to obtain license to
sell liquor In one of them the good
people said, ait was none of their bust
ness"-the license was Obtained bar
room was opened, the few persons before
incorporate were soon reinforced the
bad element for miles around began to
concentrate at the one place, becoming
bold and forward by mutual encourage
ment-the boys and young men from
good families were attracted-and |
heard it said of that village by people in
the neighborhood, in their expressive
language, that it had gone to the dogs. -
And this was the result of six years work
in one of the most moral and religious
communities of this State
In the other village, four Christian
gentlemen united on the principle that
it aeaS their business to protect their
weaker neighbors they raised money
got up petitions, and employed legal as
sistance at the county seat to fight the
application for license whenever brought
forward. They were successful-the APP
plicant finding that whenever he opened
his mouth, an antagonist was on hand
became discouraged and ashamed-no
bar-room was opened-any who wanted
liquor had to go elsewhere for 1.-THE
idle and worthless around the village
had no gathering place, and hence re-
NAMED scattered and out of sight-and
the peace of the village was preserved.
These two cases illustrate the differ
ence between action and inaction, as to
this evil. They show that the good peo-
pie of community can do much to check
intemperance, if they will only exert
themselves, and not pass the matter by
as none of their business. w. E. B.

God, because they can not dress in a
style In keeping with the fashion of the
congregation. 1t may be said they ought
to have the independence to come and
worship IN their plain dress. True they
ought, but they have not And is it to
be expected when intelligent and pious
Christians of means have not the indie
pendence to throw off the shackles of
fashion, and appear in the house of God,
as reason, Scripture, and conscience teach
they ought?
Mot to be tedious in holding up to
view this hydra headed monster, perhaps
the most direful of all its evils is, that
Ihe LordS treasury IS thereby robbed.
All the Christian has is the Lords, he
being merely steward to administer it.
In the administration of this trust, the
law OF God requires that portion of
every mans income be set apart directly
tor religious uses. before the remainder is
expended for personal support, or in
vested as accommodating fortune. This,
law, however, is set aside by the baneful
power of this worldly spirit. Self is first,
if self be not all. When the demands of
this worldly style are met, with many
nothing is left for Gods service. All
has been laid upon the altar of the "god
of this world. With others, their con
trlbutions to religious objects, compared
with their personal expenses, 10 shame
fully small Worldliness is eating up
the substance of the Church. Religious
enterprises languish for support, whilst
Christians waste their means. At a time
when God is opening the world to the
gospel, and cheering prospects of blessed
results invite the people of God to cast
their money into the Lord s treasury
many that call themselves Christs are
robbing the house of the Lord, and spend
ing His substance in aping the style and
fashion of the devotees of Satan.

Parents in Infant Baptism.

In the Central Presbyterian of Decem-
Der 18th, in his criticism of the Revised
Directory of Worship, "W. A. c." says
alt (the revision) teaches that covenant
Is now formed for the child by the parent
as rs representative Qtalics his) This
necessarily implies that the child is henc =
forth personally in covenant with the
Lord, q doctrine entirely neaO to our stand
ards. Itahcs mine)
Quite apart from the language of the
revision criticised by "W A. c." the
foregoing statement should be carefully
considered. [ understand this writer to
imply. that in baptism parents do not
represent their children. He objects to
the use of the words con behalf of" by
which the representative character of the
parent is expressed. Also, that cove
nant is not formed for the child, and that
henceforth the child is not personally in
covenant with the Lord. l understand
him TO assert that the affirmative of these
negations has no sanction in our stand
ards. If "W. A. c." be correct, good
many Presbyterians have very mistaken
notions touching the subject of infant
baptism, and the part parents play in the
celeDratlon OF that ordnance.
Confessedly there is not one baptism
for adults, and another with different
meaning for infants. Our standards de-
fine baptism tc be sacrament wherein
the washing of water in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Ghost doth signify and seal our ingraft-
ing into Christ and partaking of the ben
efts of the covenant of grace and our en-
gagement to be the Lords" Whatever
baptism does for adults, it does also for
infants Now it is of course true that in
either adults or infants are baptized. The
covenant was made with Abraham and
his seed. The subsequent applications of
the sign and seal are, strictly speaking,
only ratifcations of, or subscriptions to
the covenant on the part of the faithful
seed of Abraham. If this, and.this only,
is what "W. A. G. means when he i'm
plies that our standards teach. that in the
baptism of infants no covenant is formed
for the child by its parents, there is no
question as to the accuracy of his infer
eDce. But if he means that the parents
acting for the child, and in the name of
the child and speaking rightly for it, do
not ratify the covenant, then exception is
taken.
Again, if he means when he implies
that our standards do not teach that in
baptism infants are brought personally
into covenant with the Lord, only this,
viz: that God does not in fact always re-
new infants at their baptism and truly
effect spiritual and saving counexion
between them and Christ at that time,
then no exception is taken to his implica-
tion But if he means that no covenant
personal relation is established or ratified
at baptism between children and Christ,
chen / demur.

Besides his school for girls at North
field, Mr. Moody is to start school for
boys at his Massachusetts, home. He has
bought three hundred acres of land for a
farm, and he proposes work and play and
study tor the boys whom he undertakes
to educate. The new farm-school is to be
on the family plaza group of dozen
boys or so in family home, instead of on
the dormitory plan. 1t is not to be a re-
iormatory institution my plan is"
says Mr.. Moody, "to take boys of unfor-
tunate parents who are not able to educate
them but the boys shall be promising
ones, and such as, if educated, would
make good preachers and missionaries"
The tuition bills are to be graduated ac-
cordlng to circumstances. When it seems
necessary, the boys will be taken without
cost to themselves or their friends. About
fifty thousand dollars for this enterprise
IS already in hand-twenty-f thousand
dollars of this being from Mr.. Hiram
Camp, of New Haven, Connecticut.
There will be no debts incurred in build
ing or managing the institution. When
Mr. Moody was asked if he thought a
school of this kind was needed in this
country, his characteristic answer was
Yes, ten thousand of them What is
more needed than religious, moral, and
intellectual training for boys who would
not otherwise get it?' The first family
home is to be ready for boys about the
first of the new year. The idea is a good
one, and it bids fair to be well carried
outs s. Times.
