THE GROBEAT QUESTION OF THE DAY.
How shall we save ourselves from
utter Ibankruptcy and ruin? This is
the all-almbsorbing question of our agri
cultural communities-the solving of;
which seems to be most perl.lexing.
It is evident that there nmust be a
new departure from the old beaten
track hitherto traveled by the tillers
of the soil. From them the wealth
of the State comes-without them all
would sink to ruin. In advocating
their interest, we are advoca:ing the
interest of all.
Monopolies, for the past ten years,
have been fearfully on the increase,
and the farmer has to bear the bur
(len of them all. Thus the few are
enriched at the expense of the many,
and it is high time that some counter
mnovement against these monopolizers
of trade, who are sucking the life
blood out of the country, should be
made.
Already in different portions of our
country, our farmers are forming
themgelves into associations for mu
tual protectiona. It has become ar
absolute aecessity; for the concentra
tion of capital has become strong
that the merchants twist the farmer
around their fingers, give what they
please for produce, and charge what
they please for what they furnish.
Hence, the merchants become princes,
and farmers their most abject slaves.
If this state of things continue, our
country must and will plunage into
irretrievable, utter, hopeless rain.
Hence, we call the attention of our
agricultural community to the imtpr
tance of combining together for their
own protection, their mutual interest,
and for the improvement of. their
financial condition.
Why should they continue to have
so many middle men standing be
tween them and the consumer of
what they produce-who pocket all
the profits, and, in turn, still stand
between them and the producer of ar
ticles which they coasume, thus mak
ing a double profit off of the farmer,
thus forever keeping their noses to
the grinding stone and their backs
ever bonding to toil for the benefit of
their masters-the merchants.
Why not combine together and
have your supplies laid at your doors,
at wholesale prices, with only the ad
ditional seast of carriage, instead of
having to bear an additiesal tariff of
from 50 to 100 per cent, purchasing
eommiseson added, and fem 15 to
25 per cent for advancing
Under these circumstances, is it any
wgoder that we hear the cry of hard
times all over our land? Now, if our
farmers would save themselves from
these perpetual drains upon their in
dustry, they must form themselves in
to asseaatioss as patrons of husband
ry. Capital is concentrated against
them, and they must eoeentrate
agalast capital. If things coatinue
as they are, apital will eoitine to
aeceumulato la the heads of the few,
and the rope will he drawn even
tighter than now We finod capital
eeaeatratod at the great enatres of
trade, aued to foster corrupt legila
tie, in the passage of bad and oppres
sive laws, and eatail the borden of
heavy taatioa upon the people, while
It eariches the capitalist more and
Sgives him greater power to tighten
timhe screws.
It reains for the tillrs of the aoll
to say, whether they will longer sub
mit to this degradation of their ma
hood. You have sounk thousands of
dollars, toiled and labored to recover
ftom thim disastrous eects of the war,
but yeso are poorer now than whena
you bega-t4ho sell still yields her
beauty to your bandy craft,--bt
where are the fruits of your toil ?
where the capital yeo invested to
h up yoear shabttered fortunesm and
tb avea pstrlmey to yoear ebildre ?
. et e lato theeers of the ecp
Impoveematsr bre
'atumr
ters and planters of the l'ari h of llich
land, with whom we are identified,
and for whose interest we labor, to
form an Association for their protee
tion against sharpers and middle men,
who have hitherto reaped all the prof.
its of their labor, and left them poor
indeed. We throw out these hints
hoping that some action will be taken
by our agricultural community, and
some plan of organization adopted, by
which this constant and unnecessary
drainage of our capital may be pre
vented; and that, instead of going to
fill the coffers of an already unscrupu
lous and bloated Aristocracy, may re
main in our midst for the improve
ment of all our material interests.
Who will take the initiative in this
reform ? We pause for a reply.
IS IT A SIT TO IOLLOW JE8US IIN
BAPTISM 7
RFditrs Rirhlad Brron :
T'le Rev. 1). A. CaU'IattS undertook to
show thrsngh your rrtltimns in what sense it
would be a sin to f.llow Jests in Baptism,
explanatory of a remark made by himt in a
sermon preached at Alto. From the respect
I have for the Rev. Brother as a biblical schol
ar anil as a scientific gentleman, I feel great
etillilence in ,ndertaking to review this arti
cle; and I expect manyly. wo look tip to the
aged and respected Brother almost as their
lather int the gospel. will think it presumption
ill one who has never protelded to be a teach
er of sacred things, to undertake to point outi
some of the inconsistencies of this studied and
well written article, and comtnpare with tile
Scriptutres. But, to such I would say, my ob
ject is to set tmy readers to thitnkiag, and, be
fore passing jtudgmemt,"search the Scriptures."
The declaration nmadn- in tile pulpit by Mr.
Campbell was new and novel to me, and his
explanation at the time was entirely nnsatis
factory, but mat more so than tile article which
aplwars in tile BlACox. The proposition it
self is a fallacy. I will ask Bro. Campbell,
if he ever heard a Baptist, or anybody else,
contend that it was the duty of a believer to
wait until tley were thirty years of age be
fore they are baptized? If net, then the
propomition is fallacious, it is an argument
against something that does not exist. and
therefore is calculated to deceive and mislead
the unthinking. Whatever is calculated to
deceive is wrong. The only logical conclu
sion that I can form wherein it wouldl be a
sin to follow Jases in baptism, is for an un
believer or an unregeserated person to go
through the form of baptism, which is no
scriptural baptism at all -Mark I1 and 16,
Acts 2 and 41. I think my friend will agree
with me in this. The pro.osition made by
Eld. Campbell that the Baptism of Jet's by
John was ia the observance of a ceremoijal
or Mosaic rite is not tenable and harmonious
with the Scriptures. Aaron and his sons
were inducted into the priestly ollce under a
specific law according to a speciic form or
3 ceremony, which was conceived, made, plans
ed and direeted by God himself, speaking
through his servant Mees, who was Gods'
prophet and lawgiver, hut not his priest
Moses was the chosen of God to bring his
people out of Egypt, his obee was of heaven.
He made all things aecording to the pattern
given him by God. He indusetd Aaron and
his sons into the priestly odee with all the
rites and eeremonies of the ceremonial law,
Lev. 8 and 6, (read the chapter.) The act of
obedience ansod the anointing them, secured
r unto Aaron and his s0as an everlasting priest
I hood throughout their generation, Ex. 40. 15.
. The holy oil poured upon the head of Aaron
and his sons in inducting them into thepriest
ly oice (Lev. 5 and 12.) was typical of the
Spirit of God descending like a dove lighting
upon him (our Lord,) Mat. 3 and 16. 'The

Sconception and birth, Luke 1 and 13, 14, 15,

"FOLLOWIIOG JESUS IN BAPTISI."
Mrti rs. Editors: An article under the
albove caption, in your issue of May 31st,
contains some positions which are to me ratl
er -ingular and apparently in cenflict with
each other as well as with scriptural teaching.
1. What warrant has your correspondent
Sfor classing John's Baltismn as a "Mosaic rite ?'t
Prn,f. Moses Sttuart, once among the greatest
of Presbyterian divines and Professor of Sacred
Literature in Andover Theological Seminary,
shows conclusively that suaclh an assumption is
wholly without scriptural or historical founda
tion. He asks the question : "was baptism,
a+ an iniatory rite practised in the Jewish
church antecedently to the time when chris
tian baptism commenced ?" He then enumer
ates the ceremonies prescribed by the Mosaic
Law in respect to the sacred use of water in
ablutions; "(I) washing the clothes only, (2)
washing the person, (3) washing both clothes
and person, (4) that sprinkling was used a noeat
frequently of all by way of purification :and
consecration, especially the sprinkling of blood
and oil and the water of purillcation or sepa.
ration, (5) affusion ofoil was also used in the
rites of purification, (6) smearing over w itlm
i eil." He then asks: "Do all or any of thomse
t examples cast any light upon the christ ian
rite of baptism ?"'' and answers: "we may san
I swer this question by saying that they seem, at
least, to show that there is no trace of alry
such rite as baptism, prescribed by the Jewish
ceremonial law, as an iniatory rite, i. e., as
one which was essential in onler to make a
profession of the Jewish religion. It is trite,
indeed, that Aaron and his sons were washltd
with water, when about to be inducted into
r the priest' aAce; Ex. 29, 4 ; Lev. , 6. Bat
it is equally true, that this, was only one iof
r very numerous rites of induction into that o f.
I Se."
2. It is impeesible that John's baptism of
· the Savior could have been the ceremony by
which he was inducted into the priestly of
r flee (1) for the reason given by Prof. Stna rt
that washing (which Mr. CAxPBSLL evidently
Sdeires to identify with baptism) "was onl?
, one of very numerous rites of induction int,
- that oice," (2) bteaase Jasuc was a "Priest:
a forever after the order of Melchizedec."
Melchizedee was certainly not inducted intc.
the priesthood by baptism, but was made a.
priest of God without the concurrence or sane
a tie of any guess human authority. Your cor
respondent concludes : "The baptism of Jrsva
f therefore was the fulfillment of a positive and
specific le, and that fulfillment conferred up
oun him all the power of Priesthood and ser
vice in the Temple. In the exercise of that
power he enaemed the Temple and drode out
those who made his Father's homue a house of
r mesebandise. When the chief priest came
forward, and demanded his authority for thus
execising the powerm of a Priest in the Tenm
pie, saying: "By what authority doest thou
I these thingsp ?" J3ss amwerd: "I also will
ask you one question, answer me, and I will
Stoll you by what authority I do these things;
r the baptism of John, was it from heaven or
Sof men '-"Herse Jote referred directly -e'
the baptium of John for the authority of aeting
Sas Priest in the Temple; thas smustaining thm
Spsitiesa that his baptism by John was a sregl
a alar indeuction into the Prieslthood according:
,to the Momic law of ceremoiea." Your eor
1 respondent old have quoted the context
I with J3m's answer to the chief priets and
a elders: "And they reasoned with themselve,
a saying, If we shall say, from heaven; he will
I my am us, why'did ye not believe him ?
c But it we shall say, of men; we fear the peo
Spi for all held J am a prephat. And they
e awoed JImrl ad mid, We eannet telL
SAnd he sailum dthem, Neither tell I pn QIp
,what Sathrity I doe t thisi." In the
J Irst place, you orrepedene semas to cu.
tradict the Savior's last words iLa this coanaeo
II tioen by explaining that in asking the Jews

a that he ais actmlng a priesat in the Temple by

Jeats in tihe likL.ne-- ofi stali leh'h ,lmlnlits
to a;i that i requir'd of silllners. John was
surprised ait JKst's" deanmald of baptism from
himl. for tihe aplpalent reasonf that his haptliml
was unlto relpntalce and ilie remcognized Jrsts ,
as the Me-.-iah. John evidently was puzzled f
to knlow what tile ordinanclle would meanl
when administered to tie Sonl of God. Had
tilis rile tbeen tile ceremoiy of his induction,
into thle priest's iflic', the Mosaic ceremonial
of his investmeniit with "power as a priest in
the Temple," John could not have hesitate I
or doubted concerning the propriety of its ad
mninistration. Not one eof a number of stand
ard commentators with whom I am acquaint
ed entertain your correspondlents views
which seem so utterly against the Scripture
and self-contr.dlico*ry.
4. As to the mode of John's administration
of the rite, the Levitical ceremonial of sprink
ling "water of purifying" has nothing to do.
No Irofessedly evangelic denomination uses
the "water of purifying" either in sprinklings
or immersions. See directions for preparing
the "water of pnrifying.'" Numbers 19; 1-11.
If the christian rite of baptism be a continua
tion of the ordinance administered under tihe
persotal directions of Jsrs, by him received
from John, and by him received as a Mosaic
right, then there ought also to be used in the
rights of initiation and indluetion, tihe other
sprinklings of oil and blood; then are we un
der the law and not under the gorpel, in the
Jewish and 11ot in tihe Christian chburch. But
the old has lassed away anid we are under
the new and better dispensation. Among
those who declare emphatically that Jr.a's
was immersed "in Jordan", en to Jordanr,
are John Calvin, the very founder of Presby
terianism, John Lightfoot, who figured as an
eminent Presbyterian l)ivimne in the Westmin
ster Assembly, A. D., 0143, John Wesley, the
founder of Methodism, George Whitfield, an
eminent associate with the Wesleys and a
wonderful preacher, James Mac Knight, a
learned Presbyterian divine and commenta.
tor, Thomrns Chalmers, once Prof. of Theol. in
SUniversity of Edinburg, Scotland, a most dis
tinguished Presbyterian divine, besides a nu
merous host of the very brightest authorities
in the learned world. Concerning "follow
ing Jasm's in baptism," the Venerable Bede
of Britain says: "No one of the greeter per
sonages has disdained to be baptized into the
remmission of sins by my humble ministry
when he has called to mind that the Lord,
who baptizing in the Holy Spirit, is accustom
edl to forgive sins, submitted his own head to
the hands of a servant to be baptized in
water." "Follow me," says Jsss, "He that
doeth my will loves me."
Respectfully, A BAPTaT.

We publish the beautiful lines of this dear
old song. It is touchingly sad and tender,
f and coming, as it does, from sorrow's holier
f citadel, and hallowed by the dearest assacia
tions of the heart, it will touch some 'tender
t chord' on the well-kept harp of devotion that

The years creep slowly by, Lorena,
The snow is on the gras again,
The sun is low down the sky, Lorena,
The fret gleams where the flowers have

The sun can never dip so low
Adown affections' cloudless sky.
