WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9,, 1875.
The Messenger is now favored
with nearly or quite all the writing
talent of the church in the state, for
which we feel very grateful, and by
which we hope much good may be
accomplished.
The British and Foreign Bible
Society expended, during the past
year, the sum of $1,052,167,60, and
published 2,519,427 copies of Bibles
and Testaments and portions of the
Scriptures.

A correspondent of the Christian
Weekly writes from Texas that he
has seen a white rose that weighed
35Q pounds. Bro. Pickens is credu-
lous enough to believe almost any
fabulous thing he hears about Texas
products, but is inclined to doubt
the story of the white rose.

The Baptist preachers of Texas
are industriously investigating the
“call to the ministry,” and no doubt
getting their eyes open upon this
much misunderstood question. Some
of the ablest preachers arc already
quite ‘heterodox’ on the subject.
The brethren in Whitesides coun-
ty, 111., arc preparing for a monster
tent meeting on the 18th of June.
The meeting is to continue four or
six weeks. This looks like w’ork-
ing in earnest. It is what the
world needs and must have before
it can be turned to the Lord.

The Apostle Peter, the servant of
Jesus Christ and the church his
body, bad neither silver nor gold,
but Pope Pius IX has a yearly in-
come of $24,000,000. And this poors
man claims to be the successor of
Peter the fisherman of Galilee!
This is the most unblushing assump-
tion on the record of time.

Bro. Kendrick’s letters in the Bap-
tist Herald will certainly accomplish
much good among that people. The
Baptists are much nearer the truth
than any of the sects, andTiundreds
of them are almost ready to aban-
don their vague notions of the Spir-
it’s manifestations and come over
entirely to the teaching of the Bible.
Bro. Jno Randle, Brenliam, sends
us four new names and the money

ers might subscribe, did they not
fear the paper will stop, aA others
have done. This is a good way to

future. Send the names for six

Was Christ ai'Kiug oil
Earth
That Christ was a king, while
here on earth, is, to my mind, as
clearly established by the word of
God as it is that Christ was the son
of God. A proper discrimination
between the personal, reign of
Christ while here on earth, upon
the throne of David as king of the
Jews, and the reign
the Spirit through the church after
his ascension home to the throne of
God, it looks to me like ought to
settle all the controversy that ex-
ists between the church of Christ and
the Baptist church, as to the time
when the New Covenant took effect.
The Greek word ekklesia, translated
church in the New Testament, as
defined by lexicographers, means
an assembly. The assembly that
we recognize as the church of God
is that part of the human family
over which God exercises rule and
government; which is also denomi-
nated the kingdom of God. We
cannot however use the phrase,
church of God, in that extensive
sense that we may use the kingdom
pion ot every issue that is- sPrun» i then let us dwell together in peace,
within our columns. Newspapers
are designed to be the medium for
the interchange of views on all sub-
jects, and a very liberal margin must
be allowed those who think freely
and write independently. We do
not wish to make a “square and com-
pass” of any mau’s mind. It would
$ot do to attempt such a thing with
Bro. Caskey's head. Eccentric as
he is, his head is generally level-on
most subjects. It need not be feared
that the truth will lack defend-
ers, or that it will suffer by the most
searching criticism. The friction of
mind against mind generates
thought, and new truths are discov-
ered. The article, “Hurd Logic,”
was clipped by Bro. Burnett because
of its pith and point, and uniqueness,
and in order that it might induce a
discussion of the question that has
now become so interesting a topic
to our read era—the proper relation
we bear to the sects about-us. That
articlo treats of the law of pardon
or induction into the kingdom of
Christ, as taught in the Scriptures,
and, in that respect, is strictly cor-
rect and logical. It does not look
at the equity side of the question at
aH—does not propose to do so. Bro.
Caskey himself does not disagree
with it in this respect, for he preach-
es it as hard as anybody—that
pardon, remission of,sins7 the rights
and privilege** of citizenship in the l’0"*'1 U1 yu” 1

kingdom, all he beyond and utter
baptism. He believes that baptism
is a part of the new birth, and that a
man can not be born until he is
born—that “ except a man be born
of water and the Spirit he can not
enter into the kingdom of God”—
and that this is but one birth. And
he believes that the sinner is begot-
ten of the Spirit and born of water,
to constitute this one birth; and also
preaches that if he is born of only
one of these agencies, he is a mon-
strosity, and not a natural-born ex-
istence—hence not naturally born
into the kingdom. All this he
pleaches as Aiard as Bro. Horn, or
“Hard Logie” itself. But he loves
to contemplate the equity side of the
question also. Nor does Bro. Horn
believe that all who are not baptized
will be lost; but he very properly
concludes that this is one of the un-
taught questions, and that we ought
to preach the law of panion as re-
vealed in the Scriptures, instead of
promising the unbaptized a shorter
road to Heaven than the one marked
out by Christ and his apostles. Our
two brothers differ but little on this
question, so far as we can see, if
they will discuss the same issue.

dom here on earth. Next, I will
try to show the disposition made ot
that kingdom.
The elders of the children of
Israel asked God to give them a
king to judge them. God granted
their request, and Saul of the tribe
of Benjamin was anointed king
over Israel. But Saul sinned and

his government and peace there
shall be no end; upon the throne
of David, and upon his kingdom, to

Bro. Earpe brought us in a list of
fourteen subscribers, this week, from
the vicinity north of Honey Grove.

organised in that neighborhood, sc^t't
some thirty strong, by Bro. J. C.

prophet and law-giver to the church
in the wilderness, under the old
covenant; Christ was the prophet

like the old covenant. The assem-
bly railed out under the new cove-
nant was railed the house of Christ.
The church, or assembly, called out
under the old covenant was railed

under the old covenant had divers
washings and carnal ordinances im-
posed on it, until the time of re-
formation. Under the old covenant
the law made men priests of the
tribe of Levi, here on earth. Under
the new covenant God made Christ
of the tribe of Judah the great high
priest, not on earth but in heaven,
of which the law said nothing.
