For a time I thought I would say
no more on this subject, but ns the
artillery is still playing, I am disin-
clined to silence my batten'until
heavier pieces are brought into the
field ; and yet it seems presumptu-
ous in me, with* an education ob-
tained among the wild herds and
horned tattle of Texas, to persist in
controverting Biblical questions
with one who uses the Greek, and
has also drank deep into ancient his-
tory, as “ Old Landmark ” seems to
have done. But as Bro. Horn has
“ come to the rescue,” I hope to be
able to draw from Bro. Landmark
his strongest arguments on the sub-
ject. I have yet to learn that an
understanding of the gospel cannot
bo obtained from our common ver-
sion of the Bible, and consequently
I am but little concerned about

tion, it is certainly made before bap-

bclicveth that Jesus is the Christ,
the Son of God, and with the mouth
he confesses what the heart believes,
it follows that the confession with
the mouth is subsequent to faith, or
belief, hence the confession is lo-
cated after faith and before baptism.

theory, when its advocates have to
lean on uninspired men for support.
In his reply to Bro. Horn he denies
that confession is a condition of
pardon. This dentil I will notice
first. Says Paul : If thou shall con-
fess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shaft believe in thine heart that
God hath raised him from the dead,
thou sUalt be saved. Rom. x. 9.
Does not this salvation depond upon
the confession made with the mouth,
that Jesus is the Lord, in connection
with the condition that wo believe
that God hath raised him from the
dead? By what rule of language
will the brother sepa&te these two
conditions from the same authority,
in the same verse of Scripture and
joined together by the conjunction
and, and say the first is unnecessary,
and the latter a condition of pardon?
Or will he say again this is an ad-
dress to Christians and does not ap-
ply to alien sinners? Then the
term “saved ” is in the sense of eter-
nal salvation, and I am made to ask
what was tho 1a.ith that pleased God,
and induced the pardon of the alien
sins ot those Roman brethren ?

Christian College for Malls and
Females,
Bonham was selected as the location
for such College; and the school
known as “Bonham Seminary,”
having been tendered to tho con-
vention. was accepted by them for
the purpose of opening said College.
A committee was appointed to pro-
cure from the Legislature a charter
for the Institution, which charter
having been obtained, the trustees
met at Bonham on the 20th of June,
1874, and organized the College ac-
cording to the provisions of the
charter.
Tho second annual session of
Bonham Christian College will
open
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1875,
And continue Forty Weeks.
The location of the College is
ono of the best in the State for
health; intelligence, and good mor-
als. There are not here the temp
tations incident to railroad centers,
and young men and women can
pursue their studies without inter-
ruption.
The course of study is full, and
students will only be passed from
one grade to another as their attain
merus will warrant.
Tho accommodations of the Col
lege are first-class, being supplied
with the best seats.
The whole control and manage
ment of the School will be in tin
hands of Mr. Carlton, (Mr. F. J.
Abernathy having resigned), assist
ed by C. T. Carlton, and such othei
competent teachers as the wants o
the several departments shall re
quire.
Thorough work will bo required
of every student, and not eorres
pondenee and company-keeping be
tween ino young men and womei
of the benool, or others. Thosi
who cannot comply with this, neec
not apply.
The Music Department and Or
namental Work will be complete
and thorough.
A liberal patronage is asked foi
the school, and the hearty co-opera
tion of all the patrons is earnestly
asked.
