Those whoprociMtinate say: "We will aot obey these commands of the God of heaven." Is there not guilt in thi&? Why is U a sin to Ke, to s'eal, to swear, to murder? Is it not because God prohibits these things? And does he not pro]bbit p^rasdnation? If then there is guilt in disobeying God in one Jbing, there is in another. Consider, then, tl4 g ^ t of pio- ci^tinatioa. You caruot delay b ^ m i n g ^ - ligious a moment, without sinning agunst God. The danger of procrastination must not be overlooked. If foHy, deluaveness, and guilt may be jvedicted of it, liiere must be danger in it. There is danger on account of the powr er of habit.^ Every man knows that h^its, good and bad, can be confirmed. Now the more any one sins against God, the more is the habit of sinning strengthened. The prophet recog^zes this £kct when he says: "Can the Ethiopian dumge ius s ^ or the leopard his spots? Then may ye do good, who are accus t&med to do evil." The more accustomed sinners aie to do evil, the less probable it is that they will ever do good. Wben t h ^ Ije- come accustomed to evil there b a fixedness abouttheirbafaits which it is d^cult to disturb. Here Sie imgrobabiliiy of their converaon is truly.al^jioing. Ihere is dai^^ too, bec^e simers are somt-times given up to haj^ess of heart to wort out their destruction with greedine^.— The time of the Jews' yisitauon paswd away imimproved and their "house was left unto them desolate."^ In-one passa^ God is rep resented as sending ."steong deluaon that those may believe a lie imd be damned who love not the truth, but have pleasure in tmrighteous- neaa." The idea is not t ^ t God has any ac- tive agency in deluding sinners to their dam- nation; but that he &uifers it to be done, u a punishment, because they love not the tru'Ji, but have pleasure in sin. I see no reason why this work of delusion may not go on now as it did in apostoUc tmies. The means of grace prSre a curse when God in anger withholds his ble^ing. Take care, procrasdnating sin- ner, lestjou provoke God to leave you to your self. No greater calmamiiy can befall you in this life. But let it be conceded, for the sake of argu- mut, that the impenitent are in a salvable coodition till they die: What then? Still there is danger in procra^ation, because death b at hand. Can you tell, delaying sin- ner, when your dying hour will come? Can JOU name the year, the month, the week, the day, y h m your pulse wifl Iwat the last time? Ah, ^ This b certain, and yet uncert^. Deai;TOa come. You know hot when. It may comebetween this time and the period at which you intend to become rellj^o^'. Do yon say thb is an improb^le sugosition. It is not, & comes within the limits of the most raiiooal pr^tobOity. iliere are in'Uje wotld of diespair myriads who did not intend to go thither. They purposed to repent at some convenient seasen, in. Ae future—they prom- ised to repenti^ut their purpose was not exe- cuted, nor thei prom^ performed." D^th swept Aem, in the of, their pr^ras&a- tion, from time into e i ^ i ^ . They ascribe Uieir damnatM^ impenitent sinner, to the pro ciasfcinaimg spmt, which now possesses you.

We wi^ to know what God says, noth- ing more, nothing less. The theological world a vast Babel. Confusion prevails evwy- where. Pulpit b at war with pulpit, sect with sect, system with system, theory with theory. There is no certamty anywhere. But, amidst all thb confusion and strife, there is "a stil small vdce," scarcely heard, it b true, but it b the voice of God. Let us listen to thb voice. Learned Doctors may laugh at us, they may question our sanity, they may overwhelm us with their sarcasm, they may pour upon us the filth of Uieir hearts, bat if we cherish a meek and ipayeltal spirit, if we ask wisdom from above, our Heavenly Father "will guide us into all truth," we shall have the approba don of God. What more do "we need?— "Thbse were more lioble than those in Thes- salonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scrip- tures daily, whether these things were so.— Therefore many of them believed." "" Having noticed in our last article, that Christ will come to judge and destroy those wicked confederacies, both civil and ecclesiastical, which have banded themMlves^gether in op position to his truth and claims, we are now prepared to advance another step in our inves ligation. We are aware that the views pre sented in the proceeding article, are at variance with commonly received opinions. The dif lerence is thb. . The destruction of Paganbm. Bomanbm, Uabommedaai»m. despotism, and other forms of evil, is ascribed to the gradual extension of civilization, c o m m t ^ , the mul tiplication of arts, the advance of science, and ibe geitial influence of chtisiianity. In a^^ord, human instrumentalities, under provrdence, will bring about the political, social and reli- gious regeneration of the worfd. This opini»n is extremely prevalent. We hear it from the puljHt and the platform; we hear it in the prayers of good men, and we hear it from the press. But turn to the Bible, and from Gene- sb to Revelations, we hear not the slightest whbper. AU b as silept as death. We look in vain for any intimation that the gigantic eviis, that rbe up toward heaven in rebeUi'->n against God, shall be destroyed by any such instrumentalities as man has devi<ed. Man woold like to have it so. He glories in his railroads, and telegraphs, and steam ships, and power prasses, and capability of self-govern- ment. He would like to be Ae regenerator of the world—he would like to bring about "the good time coming"—he would like to put God outside of his own universe. But God will stein the pride of human glory. What man wbhes to achieve by his icstrumentalitics, God will accomplbh by hb own mighty hand — "For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that b lofty, and upon every one lifted up; and he shall be brought low, and the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of man shall be made low. and the I^rd alone shall be exalted in that day. Aad'they'^all go into the holes of the KMkst into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth — Cease ye from man whose breath is in hb nos t^." ^ Itaiah 2:12, 17, 19, 22. God will be the' (deliverer of the world, not man; he will do the great work in the way of judgment, not m^ircy. Tiit work of judgment 'aaonff apottate eArw- tian natioM and dutrt^, will prepare the xoay for the tubjeetion of rtoK who tureive thete ter- riBle judgnumU, to the teeptre of thu Metsiah. We shall furnish the proofs presently. Some will say. what, is the Gospel a failure, is it not sufficient to convert the world, must millenna- rians resort to miracles?! It b an easy thing to make exclamations. Sometimes exclama- tions are very foolbh. We do not believe the gospel b a failure; we believe that God will accomplbh hb own purposes by it, m the sal- va^on of hb people.'

Very in his rep'y, that the preaching of the gospel, well, do all educated ones teach the doctrines and the teaching of the doctrines of tUc cross of the cross? But it is not "so serious a are two things. This is a new idea to me; chifl-ge" that uneducated ministers do not teach though my ideas may be strange to Bro. P. the doctrines of the cross—"they cannot."— For my part, I have always been taught by This is a little peculiar, that God should call my poor understanding of Bible Theology- men to preach Christ, "the w^y, the truth, and and I would not give a brass button jfith the the life." when they were bcapable of doing eye knocked out for any other kmd—to be- so—but stop, I am too fast, they can preach jieve, and yrf believe that BYBBT IHIKO con- Christ, or which bthe same thbg, the gospel templaied in "the teachmg of the doctrines of but they "cannot teach tbe doctrines of the the cross," yea, avaar THIKO connect^ with cross!" the subject of the cross, b embraced u. the But, I want to know what "moral or spirit prejhmgy the gloriou* gospel of the. bleued ual truths" you mean, that are "deduced from What say you.

Of the two evils I should choose the former. But, it may be, brott^r, that ycu will try to extricate yourself from thii dilemma, by saying that, to tell the truth, and to teach tbe doctrines of the cross are two things. If such be the fact, and it b your busmess to show it if it b, ywu will have me at last. But I cannot see how any one could teach tbe doctrines of the cross without the truth; neither do I see how they could tell the truth without teaching the doctrines of the cross. When 1 say truth, I mean that truth whu-h taves the mul—thb, I presume, b what you mean too. Now. if I have been a little revere, I can only apologize in thb way : error deserves severity. It ought to have no favor whatever. We are all lia-le to err, and when we do, we need reproof in proponion to the degree of error. For my part, I think that all Christians are willing to be repr.-^d, and if ne»-d require, rebuked, for their enors. 1 think it is right, on sevr^ accounts, to expose each other's errore. If you think 1 am wrung, you have a tight to expose it. 1 remain yqur-bro^^ in Cl.rist, -•>' D B. Ro'.fiKTS. P. S—Bro.^ Parkar will, no doubt, wish tu kn-.w if I ignore educaiion. I do not 1 am happy to say that I believe education to be an escellent thing in its place. I sm perfectly favorable to an educated ministry But I have liitle inclination to run off in such tmqualified assertions about education as "No ministry," ~<&c. Education b. in my humble opinion, to the mind of the converted man, wh^t a good grindstone b to a high tempered tool. I nev er grind tools to make tnetal of them—I grind tools because they are already mrfa/. A tool that b not already good inetal b not worth a grinding. And, I should t ^ k , whether Bro. P. thinks so or »ot, that the better way b to eilucate men because they have miTui, than to educate them to give them mind. Education cannot give the man tmW—he must have the mind before. But let the man have mind, then give him education and "the system will work" admirably. I say, that if God gives the man mind and moral qualification, he can the doctrines of the cross," whether he b ed- ucated or not—education is only a help. D. B.

The Duties of Deacons. BEOTHSB GBIVES:—I feel as it were pre- suniptiotis in one of my youth—as a volunteer —to speak when such an one as our Brother Buck stands up before the Lord; one who stands so high, so deaen-edly too, among the stai^ard bearers; but my brother I do it not in any spirit save of humble reliance of our mas- ter and sincerely to elicit the whole truth as it is in the word. Jude, exhorts those "that are sanctified by God tiie Father," "to earnestly contend e r the faith which was once delivered unto the saints," imder which I pray I may alone be guided, and not by any desire to gain note, and hope all who have formed oj^ons may give up all opinbns and seek light from the ^ p e r . source, and which ever may err, mayne take the true doctrine. No compro mise of truth.iyet no desire to conquer in the spirit of man. I desire to be a baptist—<me who only desires to be instant in duty; do no thing forbidden; do that required; actuated bj no policy according to man's policy, but all for God. I know my inabili^; but let me be the flint, or the steel, so Hght cometh. Beared tmder EjneKWpal rule wid believing until p <st my two score years, tha» we had » right to construc liberally onr constitutitn, 1 was soinewhat bewildered when I applied the test of literally construing the le-ter of in-itruc tion—the Holy Bible, and contrary lo all pre- vious thought I went down into he water and came uji out of the water a Baptist, by the Grece of God, and I trust I am now a Bapti-i in every pbaro—therefore 1 t^ject to all save a strict construction according to our severa talents.- It may be ^ked, "why do you thurst yaar- selfibr«i^when a ^ c l w a Howell spesksL I answer, do not ^nV I cannot fur tht hfe of me throw off the desire.

I Bdmit Uie^^iondli^ 1 so to speak, but yet, whea 'tliB cttoe waainstilaited. ActaS: 2,6, lltera were two officn coaatituted outofone, and distinct. I c&not see any sathcnity for the minbter aof Christ, having anjr tiui^todowitfa &etem- poraGties Of the diudt otho' than as a mem- ber, nor that the deacon had anything to do wiUi preacher's duties; other thm as a menber —^I mean each had then their respective spheres. Acts 6". 4, "But we wifl give oureeh-ea eon- tiunally to piayer, and to tbe vimstiy <k the word." WxaiiT, renders thb, "we wifl ^ e ourselves constantly to prayer, and to the min- blry of the word." Buxtiinxut, in a note or a word in this verse "By (proaeuche) may be denoted, not c^y prayer^ but religions medi- tation, as preparatory to the ministerial duties just afterwards mentioned." Thb b'to my m ^ , coociuave,^at the "twelve" believed it to be their du'y to conduct the public wor- ship and to prepare themselves by meditation: ^ their duty, then the duty ofoio one tbe. Let us Kee what Paul says as to the qualifi- cations of deacons 1 Tim 3: 7,-^0. Is there one word h e r u contained that & just inference cnn be drawn that deacons should poskess the qualificaiifps to conduct pub ic wocbhip? He should have the qualifications of a christian in an eminent degree, and sach as will enable Lim 10 perform the trust of all temporal! ics in a ^coming manner. It b not for me to prove, other than that dea- cons were only placed over what we regard to be the temp<-ral concerns ot the church. I vould not object to a deacon conductin^r P ^ J ' er meetings. Sabbath schools, or even exhort- ing; but I affirm they have no Inherent rights as deacons not ex jucesniiate rei, req'iire i to do any or either uf these. I have k<iown the Lord's supper pa-sed t)y at a stated time, be- cause a deacon was absent; another church sent once thirty or forty mile- for deacons, to pass the elements, there being no deacons of tlie chufi-h. 1 cannot even see in the Deacon- ship any positive fitness above private mem- bers to hand around the elements. In our lersion Acts 6: 2, cluses wiih, "aird serve ta- bles." All wbo write on thb, agree, I think, with Barnes. "This expres-'ion probably de- notes to take care of, or provide for the tebie, or for the daily wants of the family. It b an expression that probably applies lo a (steward, or a servant," and therefore if the regular steward or servant b not present, the cLurch can have the duty performed for the time, by others. In the Encyclopasdia of Religions Knowl- edge we find the following: "The primitive deacons took care of the temporal affairs of the chureh, received and dbbuised monies, kept the church's accounts, and provided every thing necessary for its temporal good. Thus while the Bbhop attended to the soub, the deacons attended to the bodies of the people; ''.be pastor to the spiriiuaL and the. deaxns to the temporal interests of the church." (Italics mine.) We also find in the same connection that, "Among Congregationalbts, the deacons besides attending to the temporal concerns of the church, assist the minister with their ad- vice. take the lead at piayer-meetngs when he b.absent, and preach occasionally to small- er congregations in the contiguous viilages." Thb is the first step in the literal construction of that sacred insunment, the next i^ found where deacons are a lower grade of preachers, can baptize, marry, and so on, and thus in easy grades u ^ we see no scripture authori- ty. Let us return to primitive days, when the all-absorbing deare was to know that we do only as "thus saith the Lord." Barnes'^s regarded as good auUiority where '-Baptize and its cognates" b not concerned. On I Tim. 3: 10. he says, "let those also he first proved." "That b bied and tested in regard to the things which were the proper qualifications <br the office.

Im-pudient Mends r This is indeed folly. The swine that trample pearis under t h w feet do not act so Drrauonafly.

Again, those who intend to become Chris-tiana at some future time, intoid also to re pent; far they know that repentance is indis-pensible to salvation. Please consider this as-pect of the subject. Do you not see t h ^ all persona who procrastinate their return to God Tirtoally sayr "We will sin now; but we will b -Borry for it at acme future peiia<i." Suppo^ they hare determined to devote themselves to the scrvice of God at the ezpiradon of one y«Hr,_or two, or five years. Then they say in efiest: "We wiE live in rebeffion agMst Gh>d •one year, or two, "or five years, and then we w31 bitteriy mourn that we have done so."— \ n i a t would yon think of themsn, who would enipby ril his eaminga in building up this year, what he intends to puO down next year?

Those whoprociMtinate say: "We will aot obey these commands of the God of heaven." Is there not guilt in thi&? Why is U a sin to Ke, to s'eal, to swear, to murder? Is it not because God prohibits these things? And does he not pro]bbit p^rasdnation? If then there is guilt in disobeying God in one Jbing, there is in another. Consider, then, t l4 g ^ t of pio-ci^tinatioa. You caruot delay b ^ m i n g ^ -ligious a moment, without sinning agunst God.

The danger of procrastination must not be overlooked. If foHy, deluaveness, and guilt may be jvedicted of it, liiere must be danger in it. There is danger on account of the powr er of habit.^ Every man knows that h^i ts , good and bad, can be confirmed. Now the more any one sins against God, the more is the habit of sinning strengthened. The prophet recog^zes this £kct when he says: "Can the Ethiopian dumge ius s ^ or the leopard his spots? Then may ye do good, who are accus t&med to do evil." The more accustomed sinners aie to do evil, the less probable it is that they will ever do good. Wben t h ^ Ije-come accustomed to evil there b a fixedness abouttheirbafaits which it is d^cult to disturb. Here Sie imgrobabiliiy of their converaon is truly.al^jioing.

Ihere is d a i ^ ^ too, b e c ^ e simers are somt-times given up to ha j^e s s of heart to wort out their destruction with greedine^.— The time of the Jews' yisitauon paswd away imimproved and their "house was left unto them desolate."^ In-one passa^ God is rep resented as sending ."steong deluaon that those may believe a lie imd be damned who love not the truth, but have pleasure in tmrighteous-neaa." The idea is not t ^ t God has any ac-tive agency in deluding sinners to their dam-nation; but that he &uifers it to be done, u a punishment, because they love not the tru'Ji, but have pleasure in sin. I see no reason why this work of delusion may not go on now as it did in apostoUc tmies. The means of grace prSre a curse when God in anger withholds his ble^ing. Take care, procrasdnating sin-ner, lestjou provoke God to leave you to your self. No greater calmamiiy can befall you in this life.

But let it be conceded, for the sake of argu-m u t , that the impenitent are in a salvable coodition till they die: What then? Still there is danger in procra^ation, because death b at hand. Can you tell, delaying sin-ner, when your dying hour will come? Can JOU name the year, the month, the week, the day, y h m your pulse wifl Iwat the last time? Ah, This b certain, and yet unce r t^ . Deai;TOa come. You know hot when. It may comebetween this time and the period at which you intend to become rellj^o^'. Do yon say thb is an improb^le sugosition. I t is not, & comes within the limits of the most raiiooal pr^tobOity. iliere are in'Uje wotld of diespair myriads who did not intend to go thither. They purposed to repent at some convenient seasen, in. Ae future—they prom-ised to repenti^ut their purpose was not exe-cuted, nor the i p r o m ^ performed." D ^ t h swept Aem, in the of, their p r^ ras&a-tion, from time into e i ^ i ^ . They ascribe Uieir damnatM^ impenitent sinner, to the pro ciasfcinaimg spmt, which now possesses you.

We w i ^ to know what God says, noth-ing more, nothing less. The theological world

a vast Babel. Confusion prevails evwy-where. Pulpit b at war with pulpit, sect with sect, system with system, theory with theory. There is no certamty anywhere. But, amidst all thb confusion and strife, there is "a stil small vdce," scarcely heard, it b true, but it b the voice of God. Let us listen to thb voice. Learned Doctors may laugh at us, they may question our sanity, they may overwhelm us with their sarcasm, they may pour upon us the filth of Uieir hearts, bat if we cherish a meek and ipayeltal spirit, if we ask wisdom from above, our Heavenly Father "will guide us into all truth," we shall have the approba don of God. What more do "we need?— "Thbse were more lioble than those in Thes-salonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scrip-tures daily, whether these things were so.— Therefore many of them believed." "" Having noticed in our last article, that Christ

will come to judge and destroy those wicked confederacies, both civil and ecclesiastical, which have banded themMlves^gether in op position to his truth and claims, we are now prepared to advance another step in our inves ligation. We are aware that the views pre sented in the proceeding article, are at variance with commonly received opinions. The dif lerence is thb. . The destruction of Paganbm. Bomanbm, Uabommedaai»m. despotism, and other forms of evil, is ascribed to the gradual extension of civilization, c o m m t ^ , the mul tiplication of arts, the advance of science, and ibe geitial influence of chtisiianity. In a^^ord, human instrumentalities, under provrdence, will bring about the political, social and reli-gious regeneration of the worfd. This opini»n is extremely prevalent. We hear it from the puljHt and the platform; we hear it in the prayers of good men, and we hear it from the press. But turn to the Bible, and from Gene-sb to Revelations, we hear not the slightest whbper. AU b as silept as death. We look in vain for any intimation that the gigantic eviis, that rbe up toward heaven in rebeUi'->n against God, shall be destroyed by any such instrumentalities as man has devi<ed. Man woold like to have it so. He glories in his railroads, and telegraphs, and steam ships, and power prasses, and capability of self-govern-ment. He would like to be Ae regenerator of the world—he would like to bring about "the good time coming"—he would like to put God outside of his own universe. But God will stein the pride of human glory. What man wbhes to achieve by his icstrumentalitics, God will accomplbh by hb own mighty hand — "For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that b lofty, and upon every one lifted up; and he shall be brought low, and the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of man shall be made low. and the I^rd alone shall be exalted in that day. Aad'they'^all go into the holes of the KMkst into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth — Cease ye from man whose breath is in hb nos t ^ . " ^ Itaiah 2:12, 17, 19, 22. God will be the' (deliverer of the world, not man; he will do the great work in the way of judgment, not m^ircy.

Tiit work of judgment 'aaonff apottate eArw-tian natioM and dutrt^, will prepare the xoay for the tubjeetion of rtoK who tureive thete ter-riBle judgnumU, to the teeptre of thu Metsiah. We shall furnish the proofs presently. Some will say. what, is the Gospel a failure, is it not sufficient to convert the world, must millenna-rians resort to miracles?! It b an easy thing to make exclamations. Sometimes exclama-tions are very foolbh. We do not believe the gospel b a failure; we believe that God will accomplbh hb own purposes by it, m the sal-va^on of hb people.' But we do not know of

But, it may be, brott^r, that ycu will try to extricate yourself from thii dilemma, by saying that, to tell the truth, and to teach tbe doctrines of the cross are two things. If such be the fact, and it b your busmess to show it if it b , ywu will have me at last. But I cannot see how any one could teach tbe doctrines of the cross without the truth; neither do I see how they could tell the truth without teaching the doctrines of the cross. When 1 say truth, I mean that truth whu-h taves the mul—thb, I presume, b what you mean too. Now. if I have been a little revere, I can only apologize in thb way : error deserves severity. It ought to have no favor whatever. We are all lia-le to err, and when we do, we need reproof in proponion to the degree of error. For my part, I think that all Christians are willing to be repr.-^d, and if ne»-d require, rebuked, for their enors. 1 think it is right, on sevr^ accounts, to expose each other's errore. If you think 1 am wrung, you have a tight to expose it.

P. S—Bro.^ Parkar will, no doubt, wish tu kn-.w if I ignore educaiion. I do not 1 am happy to say that I believe education to be an escellent thing in its place. I sm perfectly favorable to an educated ministry But I have liitle inclination to run off in such tmqualified assertions about education as "No ministry," ~<&c. Education b. in my humble opinion, to the mind of the converted man, wh^t a good grindstone b to a high tempered tool. I nev er grind tools to make tnetal of them—I grind tools because they are already mrfa/. A tool that b not already good inetal b not worth a grinding. And, I should t ^ k , whether Bro. P. thinks so or »ot, that the better way b to eilucate men because they have miTui, than to educate them to give them mind. Education cannot give the man tmW—he must have the mind before. But let the man have mind, then give him education and "the system will work" admirably. I say, that if God gives the man mind and moral qualification, he can the doctrines of the cross," whether he b ed-ucated or not—education is only a help.

rort]M Tennesaea BAjrtijt. The Duties of Deacons.

BEOTHSB GBIVES:—I feel as it were pre-suniptiotis in one of my youth—as a volunteer —to speak when such an one as our Brother Buck stands up before the Lord; one who stands so high, so deaen-edly too, among the stai^ard bearers; but my brother I do it not in any spirit save of humble reliance of our mas-ter and sincerely to elicit the whole truth as it is in the word. Jude, exhorts those "that are sanctified by God tiie Father," "to earnestly contend e r the faith which was once delivered unto the saints," imder which I pray I may alone be guided, and not by any desire to gain note, and hope all who have formed o j^ons may give up all opinbns and seek light from the ^ p e r . source, and which ever may err, mayne take the true doctrine. No compro mise of truth.iyet no desire to conquer in the spirit of man. I desire to be a baptist—<me who only desires to be instant in duty; do no thing forbidden; do that required; actuated b j no policy according to man's policy, but all for God.

I know my inabili^; but let me be the flint, or the steel, so Hght cometh.

If I can comprehend ibis, I dissent and a d kar proof, Tbe "pidiilie worship of the Lord s house," I onderstand to.be preaching, p r ^ e r and praise. I Bdmit Uie^^iondli^ 1 so to speak, but yet, whea 'tliB cttoe waainstilaited. ActaS: 2 ,6 ,

lltera were two officn coaatituted outofone, and distinct.

I c&not see any sathcnity for the minbter aof Christ, having anjr tiui^todowitfa &etem-poraGties Of the d i u d t otho' than as a mem-ber, nor that the deacon had anything to do wiUi preacher's duties; other thm as a menber — I mean each had then their respective spheres.

Acts 6". 4, "But we wifl give oureeh-ea eon-tiunally to piayer, and to tbe vimstiy <k the word." WxaiiT, renders thb, "we wifl ^ e ourselves constantly to prayer, and to the min-blry of the word." Buxtiinxut, in a note or a word in this verse "By (proaeuche) may be denoted, not c^y prayer^ but religions medi-tation, as preparatory to the ministerial duties just afterwards mentioned." Thb b' to my m ^ , coociuave,^at the "twelve" believed it to be their du'y to conduct the public wor-ship and to prepare themselves by meditation: ^ their duty, then the duty ofoio one tbe.

Let us Kee what Paul says as to the qualifi-cations of deacons 1 Tim 3: 7,-^0. Is there one word h e r u contained that & just inference cnn be drawn that deacons should poskess the qualificaiifps to conduct pub ic wocbhip? He should have the qualifications of a christian in an eminent degree, and sach as will enable Lim 10 perform the trust of all temporal! ics in a

^coming manner. It b not for me to prove, other than that dea-

cons were only placed over what we regard to be the temp<-ral concerns ot the church. I vould not object to a deacon conductin^r P ^ J ' er meetings. Sabbath schools, or even exhort-ing; but I affirm they have no Inherent rights as deacons not ex jucesniiate rei, req'iire i to do any or either uf these. I have k<iown the Lord's supper pa-sed t)y at a stated time, be-cause a deacon was absent; another church sent once thirty or forty mile- for deacons, to pass the elements, there being no deacons of tlie chufi-h. 1 cannot even see in the Deacon-ship any positive fitness above private mem-bers to hand around the elements. In our lersion Acts 6: 2, cluses wiih, "aird serve ta-bles." All wbo write on thb, agree, I think, with Barnes. "This expres-'ion probably de-notes to take care of, or provide for the tebie, or for the daily wants of the family. It b an expression that probably applies lo a (steward, or a servant," and therefore if the regular steward or servant b not present, the cLurch can have the duty performed for the time, by others.

In the Encyclopasdia of Religions Knowl-edge we find the following: "The primitive deacons took care of the temporal affairs of the chureh, received and dbbuised monies, kept the church's accounts, and provided every thing necessary for its temporal good. Thus while the Bbhop attended to the soub, the deacons attended to the bodies of the people; ''.be pastor to the spiriiuaL and the. deaxns to the temporal interests of the church." (Italics mine.) We also find in the same connection that, "Among Congregationalbts, the deacons besides attending to the temporal concerns of the church, assist the minister with their ad-vice. take the lead at piayer-meetngs when he b.absent, and preach occasionally to small-er congregations in the contiguous viilages." Thb is the first step in the literal construction of that sacred insunment, the next i^ found where deacons are a lower grade of preachers, can baptize, marry, and so on, and thus in easy grades u ^ we see no scripture authori-ty. Let us return to primitive days, when the all-absorbing deare was to know that we do only as "thus saith the Lord."

Barnes'^s regarded as good auUiority where '-Baptize and its cognates" b not concerned. On I Tim. 3: 10. he says, "let those also he first proved." "That b bied and tested in regard to the things which were the proper qualifications <br the office. Thb dues not mean that they were to be employed Aspreach-ers, but ihat they wer^t t undergo a pr.-per •rial in regard to their Stoess for the cffice which they were to filL"
