We .‘mrr such a text as -- He chat believerh and is baptised shall be saved "’.; but wht re is the text that says, "He that believeth and receiveth the Lord‘s Supper shall be saved "l Where can he .find it? Nowhere! llcnce, baptism is to mode and application as important as the Supper. He would do well to read attentively and thoughtfully, Luke vii. 29, 30, Matt. Ii. 25; .and Exodus xxiii. '2. Again, in reference to his third para- graph. which is too long for me to quote, permit me to state, that we work from the Cross and not to the Cross. This is an in- tallible principle of Divine revelation, and anuihilates his proposition. Christianity has been stifled, choked, imitated, and even ventriloquised long enough. Let the Voice which Comes from the Throne of (iod and the Cross of Christ be heard in stillness of soul, in holy awe, in sincere reverence, and with inspired adoration! (live the Divine Man an opportunity to de- fend and explain llimselfâ€"llc will cause light to spring from the spiritual chaos. lie-ware of deifyiug man and seeing in him an object of worship. Let us muster around, in future, Jehovah's trysting-placc, the Cross, and take afresh the sacramentum; and let it he the inspiration of our life and your hope of glory, and not the traditions of men or the mere accidents of Time! Eternity, speak to us in mercy and in the monosyllables of dying Time I We are dull and unwilling pupils, and our understand- ings are dark and obtuse. Warn us in thundering tones of having “strange fire” in our sanctuaries, by bringing vividly to our souls the histories of Nadab and Abihu, and of Saul and Uzziah. But out all our little fires, that we may gather round our Father's household fire, and be warmed and kindled by His own celestial tire of Love! We would love and therefore know. There can be no peace or sunshine lrom Heaven until we have righteousness. As your correspondent began in blunders, he must needs ignorantly or carelessly end with blunders. This is the natural sequence. He saysâ€"“ I conclude with remarking [rather blundert'ny, Sir] that the Epistles b0 the Ephesians and Colossians areaddnessed to the saints and faithful brethrcn,in which cpistlcs mention is made of children as a part of these Churches,” lac. Now, a little knowledge would have done him good here, and saved me the arduous task of instruct- ing him. It is no wonder, .indecd, that the Editor is complaining and showing up a little. Look out! I presume, Sir, that you refer to Eph. vi. 1, 4, and Col. iii. 20, 21. The word in the Original is tekna, the plural form of teknon, and not the diminutive, Ieknz’on, which means a little child. Taiwan in neither of these passages means an infant. Even if tekm‘on had been the word, it would not have supported your argument. It. is applied by Christ to His apostles in John xiii. 33; by Paul in Gal. iv. 19; and by John in lJohn. ii. 1, 12, 28; iii. 7, 18; iv. 4; v.21â€"in all of which it means children spiritually, and not physically. This you will, perhaps, observe if you examine these texts closely and intelligently. Again, the Greek word tekna, which is translated ‘~’ children” in Ephesians and Colossians, is used in a variety of senses. [See Luke i. 7; Acts vii. 5 ; ii. 39; 2 Tim. i. 2; Titus i. 4; Ju. i. 12; &c.] The term of itself never describes the age of any person. The con- text alone determines that for us. It is never used to indicate the age of anyone who was baptised in Apostolic times. But Sir, your correspondent should know as much English anyhow to ditlerontiate be- tween children and babies. The Apostle does not sayâ€"“ Babies [of three or six months old] obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right,” damâ€"using the term babies thus throughout both Epistles. The poor little things know nothing about father or mother, sugar-bowl or birch rod, right or wrong, or the first or tenth com- mandment! A little common-sense, even of molecular capacity, would be better than all “ Layman's” nonsense. How does this read ?â€"“ Fathers, provoke not your babies to anger, lest they be discouraged! I” Have you, my reader, been guilty of this horrible crime ? Further, Christ. does not hesitate to call His disciples boys or lad: in John xxi. 5; and if you did not know from other sources that they were men, our Pcdobaptist breth- ren might insist that our Saviour baptised boys, ken. but even this could not help them, for Baptists baptisc boys and girls on a confession of saving faith in Jesus Christ. Baptists are the TRUE J’edobupti'als. Pals means a boy, a Ind. and even a full-grown youth. - 'r'ptos, a babe without full power of speech, or bray/tor, a newly-born babe, would answer better as a prefix than the term pain, to those who are infirm baptists. Lastly, no Council ever made the baptism of infants an Article, of Faith. Neander saysâ€"-- While in theory the necessity of infant baptism was admitted.still in prac- tice it was far trom being generally pre- vailing." This is supported by another historical fact of considerable importance, that none of the historical Creedsâ€"the Apostles'. the Nicene, and the Athanasian â€"-say anything whatever about. infant. baptism! Allow me. Mr. Editor, to my one word to “ Layman.“ In your letters of the future try to avoid blunders by imagining yourself an advocate of the opinions that. you are preparing to combat, because I am getting very weary of this painful monotony of blunders. I fear an open opponent, of Christianity infinitely less than I fear an ignorant and undisciplined friend. JAMES FRASER. Binds!
