American Baptist Publication Soclcty
HMtlngs.
The meeting Saturday afternoon at 4'
o'clock was held in the Grace-Street Baptjst
church, and was presided over by Rev. Dr.
W. E. Hatcher. %? .
The first address was-. made by Rev. I)r.
IJenry McDonald, or the Second Baptist
church, on " Relations of Roman Catholi
cism and the Baptists? Their Contrasted
Faiths and Our Line of Duty." Introduc
ing his theme with a pleasing incident of a
Catholic priest who once said that the Bap
tists were <? born Protestant heretics ever
since the days of the apostles," he proceeded
to state and illustrate some of the points of
contrast between the Baptists and the Ro
manists. '*-ry
1. lie maintained that, Roman Catholic
faith looks to the Church as the source of all
authority and power? that alls piritual bless
ings come through the Cburch; thatosalva
tion is through the Church, and only in the
Church. Against this, he insisted, the
Baptists hold that each poor sinner may come
to the cross for himself, and trust in Jesus
for himself, and be saved for himself, with
out the intervention of either priest or sur
plice. The Baptists hold to simple faith in
Christ as against the doctrine of faith in the
Church. x ?
i. lie claimed as another contrast of view
that while the Baptists bold that a Church
is a body of baptized believers voluntary
associated. t^oti.or, the Roman Cat iol.es to
Hereditary church-membership, that all
should be in the Church and are brought in
by infant baptism ; that they grow up in the
Church and die in the Church. The Bap
tists hold that each man must believe for
himself? the Catholics in a religiou which
mav be performed by proxy.
8 He insisted that the two hold antagonist
ic standards of faith? the Baptists maintain
ing that the Bible is the only rule of faith
and standard of practice, while Romanists j
hold that the authority of the Church n of
equal authority with that of the Bible. The
Baptists hold that every individual must in
terpret- the Scriptures for himself, while the
Catholics hold that he must allow the Church
to give the interpretation.
i. The two. he held, are directly antago
nistic in their views of Church govern
ment- the Baptists believing in the congre
gational form of Church government (that
each church is an independent republic),
while the Romanists hold to a consolidated
Church, whose head is an " infallible I ope.
5. lie argued that they differ as wide as
the poles on their methods of evangeliza
tion. The Roman Church has been in its
past history, and in its very fundamental
doctrines, a persecuting Church, which be
lieves in either reclaiming or burniug here
tics : and he insisted that it, was a mere I
dodging of the is,uc to say that the Church
does not and never did persecute, but sim
ply 44 turns over heretics to the ciwl au
^'on "the other hand, the day that a Baptist

bonds of fraternity which bind them toge

which brought tears to many eyes.
Dr McDonald's address was able, elo
quent, and pathetic, and made a proiound
impression on all who heard it.
Rev Dr. C. 11. Corey, president of the
Richmond Institute, then made an admira
ble address on 44 The Special Ncci U of tin*
Work Among the Ireedmcn. He .poke
of the power of the Bible and of evangeli
cal truth to antagonize socialism, commu
nism, and kindred errors, and to reduce
the grand army of tramps. He especially
up'cd the need of this work among the
freed men of the South. He gave an ^ex
ceedingly interesting account o ft c woik
among the colored people of the South. He
bore willing testimony to the na"S
active cooperation he had received fiom his
white brethren since he had been in Ricb

Sumner, McDonald, and Warren.
xjcirr session*.
Rev. Dr. George J. Johnson gave a Bible
reading on *4 Baptism, " in which he collated
t lie passages of Scripture which are claimed
to teach t lie views held by Baptists.
Professor H. IJ. Harris being detained by
sickness, Dr. W. E. II ate her read the paper
on "Southern Baptists? Their Characteris
tics and Duties." The paper was charac
terized bv Professor Harris's clear discrimi
nation and decided ability.
Rev. Dr. G. W. Anderson, of Philadel

dress on " The Baptists of Europe and the
Publication Society."
CORRECTION.
By some singular carelessness the reporter
left out a part of the report of Friday's pro
ceedings, and thus omitted the h'rst part of
Itev. J. T. Craig's admirable speech, and
ran the latter part of it into that of Dr.
Dunaway, thus making tl.is native of Lan
caster county, Va., to have been born " in
the land of Burns."
Helping the South.-? In his speech in
behalf of the American Baptist Publication
Society 011 Saturday, Rev. A. E. Dickinson
said : '? When 1 was collecting money to
build the Fulton Baptist church, of this
city, and lacked but tive hundred dollars, I
went to the meeting of this Society, held
in Boston, and as soon as I stated the caj?e
the President of the Society, William Buck
liell. said 4 Put me down for one hundred
dollars, ?" and four others said the same, and
in a few minutes I had my live hundred
dollars. When I appealed for money to
build Pine-Street Baptist church, of this
city, these brethren responded generously;
and never have I asked for help for any
poor church or Sunday school that they
have not cheerfully aud generously re
sponded."
The City Mission*.? The ladies conduct
ing this institution having found them
selves out of money, are therefore com
pelled to temporarily suspend operations.
They have very reluctantly come to this de
termination, because of the great need now
existing amongst the poor of the city? espe
cially many cases of sickness? where suf
fering must ensue unless relief is a Abided
in this or some similar manner. In view of
this fact, the lady managers have deter
mined to make another effort to continue
their ministrations a few weeks longer, and
to this end will have a called meeting of
the association at Mr. Kaleigb Colston's ou
next Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
In the mean time, active efl'orts will be
made to solicit a sum sufficient for present
needs.
They urge every one to whom application
maybe made to "contribute as liberally as
they can toward* this object.
Any articles of clothing or provisions
may be sent to Mr. Colston's, the mission
rooms, 1414 Franklin street, or any of the
lady officers of the ausociation. Contribu
tions of money left in our counting-room
before the day of meeting will be handed
over to the treasurer.

The Case Relating to the Closing of the
Free Bridge. ? The examination oi the wit
nesses in relation to the closing of the Free
bridge was cnderl Friday afternoon, and
the counsel for the patties who instituted
complaint against the Bridge Commission
ers began their argument before Mayor
Clarke Saturday at 12 o'clock. Colonel
Ambers and Socrates Brooks, Esq., were
counsel in the ease, and in speeches of forty
minutes each argued that the Free-Bridge
Commissioners had violated the laws re
cently enacted by the General Assembly
governing them, and that thay had no right
or authority in ordering the bridge to he
ciosed; and furthermore, that the bridge
being a public highway, and the Manehes
j tcr terminus being within the jurisdiction
lot' the city, that the Mayor had the power
I and authority to order it to be re opened,
i They therefore requested his Honor to issue
j an order commanding the obstruction to be
! removed.
After hearing the argument concerning it
the Mayor reserved his decision until this
morning, it being a question of such in
terest and importance as to demand a mi
nute and careful consideration.
None of the Bridge Commissioners were
present Saturday, nor were they repre
sented by counsel, they being of the opinion
I that, they were justifiable in having the
bridge closed on account of its dangerous
condition, and also being sustained in their
action by the opinions of ninny person*:
consequently it would be useless to employ
counsel.
These proceedings are not intended as a
criminal prosecution on the part of those
bringing complaint, but merely to ascertain
whether or not action was premature in the
closing of the bridge. At present the peo
ple arc paying interest 011 ?90.000 for the
maintenance of the bridge, and are de
riving no benefit whatever from it. It is
hoped that a sufficient appropriation will be
made towards its repairs, so that in a ?hort
while travel may again be resumed. Ji the
Mayor should iti his decision command the
obstructions on the Manchester terminus to
be removed, it is thought that similar pro
ceedings wiM be instituted against the com
missioners of Richmond by citizens of that
place, who desire the bridge should be re
[ opened.
