Hence, to teach the universal love and fatherhood of God, and the brotherhood ef the human race, is to teach a liberal view or understanding of Christianity.

Free-love ism and libertinism are looked upon with a char itablt eve as excusable weaknesses of the flesh while all who are uncompromisingly orthodox in relation to the faith of Jesus, are the objects of bitter scorn. This we say of the system itself, in its practical outwork ings, and not of the Repository, even though many of its words are perhaps capable of this construction. For example, speaking of Unitarisnism, Universalism, and other views," it says If a few ministers or laymen who belong to either of these denominations, in their investigations, do at times step aside from what the great body of as regard as the Christian ground or the necessary foundation of Christianity, we design to treat all such liberally and fraternally not to scorn or despise them not to crowd them out of fellowship, but to help them to the knowledge of truth as it is in Jesus. We know that all young men of inquiring minds have seasons of doubts, and mental struggles with skepticism and unbelief and to disfellowship them and persecute them does not help them out of their difficulties and troubles They, (liberal Christians) have no fellowship with downright infidelity itself, but they love the unbeliever, and would do him good." We have no disposition to question the general correctness ot these statements as applied to the above named denominations for with the single exception indicated by the interrogation mark, they are certainly inside the truth as far as we have the means of judging. But if the terms here used are intended to embrace anything broader than a true Christian charity, they are measuarably in sympathy with liberalism in the sense of license.

If not, then they are meaningless and out of place, for there is not an evangelical denomination in Christendom thit has not that charity. It occurs, however, to the writer that perhaps the struggles of a great many Tor whom the Repository is so solicitous, and ready to receive into fellowship, are not with skepticism and unbelief," but with the truth as it is in Jesus that is, their resistance is to the latter rutber than to the former. It is gratifying to learn that liberal Christians have no fellowship for downright infidelity itself, but that they love the unbeliever, and would do him good." Yet we are at a loss to know precisely what constitutes, according to their standard, either downright infidelity or an unbeliever." Will the Repository please inform us on this point? and also tell us whether they (liberal Christians,) love the unbeliever because he i an unbeliever, or leoause of the immortal soul that is within him, which was bought with the blood of Jesus, and which, therefore, ought if possible to be won from unbelief to a true faith in Christ Jesus the Lord There are other points in the Repository's article to which we would like to call its attention but as this paper is already too long they must be omitted. And for the present we must content ourself with simplv adding, that we know personally of no evan" gelically religious system or sect so really illiberal as this self-styled Liberal Christianity."

Plain Thoughts on the Question of Lay Delegation. Some of the annual conferences have already voted upon the important question of lay delegation, and all will soon follow. It is not an easy matter for one, not previously settled in opinion, or already com mitted to one side or the other, to see the path of duty clearly, amidst the conflicting views with which our denominational pa pers have been filled. Should the statements which follow aid any in deciding how they ought to vote, the design of this arti cle will be fully accomplished. 1.

Three successive General Conferences have signified their approval of the principle of lay delegation when it shall be ascertained that the church desires it." 2. Nearly all the auuual conferences have signified the same thing, by the pis-gage of appropriate resolutions. 3. Id the minds of ministers, wlio toted for such resolutions, it would appear that the only question which should affect their vote is. Does tit late tote of the laity indicate that the church desires lay delegation? 4.

If this question is answered as questions of a political nature are answered, by the vote of the majority of those present and voting," it is decided in the affirmative, and the church does desire it. f. But, as far as we know, no such anomaly, as is presented by the pmallness of the vote cast, occurs in political elections for in this case the majority of the church has not toted at all. 6. It would sceui unfair, however, to count as opposed to lay delegation, all who did not vote; for, in all probability, could all be persuaded to vote many would vote for it, as well as many against it.

7. The negligence of so many to vote at all, would seem to show two things, vii: (1) No special interest either way in tho question pending (ii) A willingness to abide the result, let lay delegation he voted up or voted down. X. It would appear then that all among lhu WD0 consider Lay Delegation a tttal ovcstion. have recorded thoir votes And we ask, can there be many upon whom the future prosperity of the Church will greatly depend, who do not feel that this is a eital question 0.

Too much stress must not be laid upon the resolutions of the annual conferences approving the measure, for these resolutions are often pasted by a mere majority tott. It does not follow, therefore, that such con ferences have pledged a three-fourths tote, even if the laity ask for Lay Delegation, 10. Should the measure fail because of a dead look by the ministry, the friend of Ley Delegation cannot charge any conference with bad faith, or broken miles they can first show that thrftrfourthi of its members have previously endorsed the measure, Fuhmitted for the peace of the Church.

I CoMFAav Shops, Alasaasci N. C. Oct. 9th. ISM.

Editoi or tuc Missimoer: Company Shops is a charming place, situated in a beautiful oak grove four miles west of Haw River, and two miles from Graham. The oil of the streets is a mixture of clay and sand, and the side-walks are never muddy. The cars and locomotives of the N. C. R.

R. are built and repaired here. There are four stores, a large hotel, and a new Union church. There are two schools for white children, and one for colored, under the charge of the Friends of Philadelphia. A gracious revival of religion is progressing in which both whites and blacks are deeply interested.

The Southern Methodists and Christians have united in holding a series of meetings in this vicinity, and the Lord is with them. Several northern men have settled here. Twenty two copies of the New York Tribune are taken by the citizens, and peace and quiet prevails. Within two miles of! this place and Graham several good farms are to be sold thia tall. The price of land is from four to ten dollars per acre.

In the back districts some outrages are re ported yet, but here persecution for political opinions has nearly ceased. In this county seven colored day and Sabbath schools are taught by native colored teachers who were educated in Our normal class at Mebaneville, and the freedmen are building three more school houses and churches. They ask for teachers faster than we can prepare them, and Christian men and women are greatly needed now to labor in this part of the Lord's vineyard. They come twenty miles for aid, and the Macedonian cry from all quarters is, Come over and help us."

Faint ot The danger and persecution! of tits members of the church in the Apostolic times, made, no doubt, man; to faint and feel sick at heart. The weight and number of their services in the cause of Christ, the ill reception they met, the poor returns for self-de nying labors of love, were calculated to dishearten. Every one engaged for Christ needed more than mortal power to sustain the spirit in the work and battle of Christianity.

The apostle Paul judged it inglorious, a reproach, a shame for the Christian to yield to his circumstances or foes so far as to feel a faintness, and reveal it to men. It would dishonor the great Saviour and the provisions of His grace, which were rich and sufficient for every soul and every peril, trial, change, or conflict. The great Saviour had also said, Men ought always to pray and not be faint. The Saviour herein implies provisions of grace against every time of need, which ought to be sought and used for the glory of His name and cause. This should be done, instead of yielding to any pressure brough to bear from any source against the right and holy.

All thia is very true to-day. There should not be a faint one in all the ranks of the Christian army. Simply, because for each at every turn of life, provision is made for Divine help. Does the influence to faint come from hard labors, trials, privations, afflictions, bereavements, persecutions, or whatever other cause or channel, Divine help in the speciality of your case, and the measure of your necessity is provided. Ask and it shall be given you.

Behold, the Saviour points out the way to gain and have strength for your duty. Men ought to pray and not to faint. The Apostle, seeking the vigor of the Ephesien church, attempts to pray them into the richest experience of the Gospel of Christ. Our Saviour, bowed with his disciples and prayed them into the depths of holy union and power with God, Every where and at all times men ought to pray. More prayer is needed in the Church Much prayer should be the motto of the saints.

All faintness evidently is inexcusable in the Church in the light of the grace of our Lord. Riches of this grace wait for the prayers extorted by the need and progress of the Christian life. The great and precious secret of success in ministerial life and labor and Christian holiness and usefulness is much Ordinary labor and current duties need not always be suspended to accomplish it. The heart often uplifted, the lips often parted, in the midst of business and journeying, as well as the closet often sought, the communion of Baints often embraced, will bring down upon our own souls and our families and communities the riches of the grace of eternal life. We are all and always under the influence of the spiritual world.

Man has never been free from this influence. If not under the influence of the good spiritual world, he has been under tho influence of tho bad The doctrine of the devil and the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, each in the Bible, show that men are under the influence of the spiritual world. It is, therefore, constantly practical that the Christian mind and heart may be strengthened with influence from the good spiritual world. Might from God by His Spirit is applied, may be greatly increased, to tho inner man. Ask, and receive, that your may be full.

No faintness will then seize you in the toils, sufferings, sacrifices of the Christian spirit and life. You will pray for more than pardoti of heart or forgiveness of sins. You will pray for strengthening with holy might. You will pray for the indwelling of Christ. You will pray to be rooted and grounded in love.

You will pray for all the fullness of God. Instead of fainting by tho way, your vigorous, courageous spirit will scale as a victor the mount of God and be forever blest. Do not forget it, prayer is the Savior scription for faintness. pre- Liberalism and Illiberalism." Under the above caption the Christian Repository of Sept, 25 contains a leading editorial, which, taken all in all, is about the strangest jingle of words I have recently read. Its first sentence contains the expression of dislike" to the application of the term Liberal to Christianity." Because, as it very truthfully says, the religion of Christ is liberal in its bwn nature.

It is therefore urnecessary to put the word liberal before it in order to qualify, characterize, or describe it." And yet it proceeds to labor through a labyrinth of words to justify tho use of the phrase Liberal not to characterize or describe Christianity itself, but signifying "a particular interpretation or understanding of Christianity." Will it please tell us what kind of an 11 interpretation or understanding of Christianity "that is which needs a qualificavoo, which, on Its own statement, the religion of Christ does not need, either to qualify, characterize, or describe it Can it be of the same nature of Christ's religion Perhaps it may consider these questions already answered, but we do not, inasmuch as it baa said Now, that interpretation or understand, ing of Christianity, which teaches that we ought to feel liberal and charitable to all, ana innueocos tne neart to feel so, may property De ucnominatea tioerai cnnetianity But what is there about this "interpretation or understanding of Christianity which is peculiar from that which has been always held ty the evangelical church? If the terms liberal and charitable are used in a scriptural and proper sense, have not the orthodox churches invariably eo preached Christ Indeed, Is it possible for the 11 re ligion of Christ to be presented correctly, and not teach thai wo ought to feel liberal and charitable to all?" Then where the necessity for using the term liberal even to iignify this Interpretation which the fosuery thinks so peculiar? Using these terms in a proper sense and of course do not aocuse it of doing otherwise did it not occur wis oracle or wisdom that it was virtually setting up a claim insultingly arrogant in its nature? Besides, is it exactly liberal not to say modest in the self styled liberal party to monopolize all the reputation for liberality and charitableness But it says Belief in the t'nivciwl Fatlierrioo 1 of God, I of by as is of to on of ye of of in as to of the the and end fundamental principles and doctrines. With regard to belief in many minor points of doctrine, it is perhaps of, little consequence, in a moral and practical point of view, how one holds them, or whether one way or another but not so with regard to great, fundamental principles. It is impossible for those to be as liberal and charitable to others, who hold false views of God and of the nature of bis government views, which are partial, cruel, exclusive and illiberal, as those who believe the true Christian doe-trine." Will the liepository please tell us which of the orthodox denominations, if either, does not hold to the above belief and habitu ally teach the same in all its pulpits, with as much zeal as it does itself? And if to believe and teach the universal love and fatherhood of God, and the brotherhood of the human race," in a scriptural sense, is to teach a liberal view or understanding of Christianity," then why does the Repository and toe party it represents unjustly and illiberally apply the term partialists to all who thus believe and teach, but who do not accept its dogma of universal salvation What authority has it for claiming that the universal love and fatherhood of God, and the brotherhood of the human race involve any such belief? This claim, as well as the all but uniform and habitual practice of the preachers of its order to devote no small share of their time and strength to untruthful representations (not to say coarse and vulgar caricatures) of evangelical doctrines and churches, looks strange (and shall say truthful) enough in the light of the closing sentence of the above paragraph. Uow reluctantly and unwittingly the truth is sometimes spoken. Mark its own language It is impossible for those to be as liberal and charitable to others, who hold false views of God and of the nature of his government, as those who believe the true Christian doctrine." It is hoped that the Repository will accept the truth itself has uttered and henceforth, standing under the shadow of the cross of a Divine Redeemer, preach the evangel of a true Christian doctrine to its patrons and churches.

We agree with it when it says All true Christianity, its doctrine, principle and spirit, is liberal, because it is liberalizing in its tendency on its believers. It tends to make them feel liberal, kind and charitable to all men. Christ loved even his deadly enemies He knew how to have compassion on the ignorant and those who are out of the He was kind even to the evil and the Most assuredly He was. And where was this truth ever eo beautifully and touchingly illustrated as at His cross where He died as man's substitute? a fact and doctrine believed and gloried in by all orthodox Christians but rejected and scorned by the lib erals. But when it goes on to say, He was lib eral in spirit and principle to all.

His spirit love was not narrowed down, and con tracted by partyism and sectarianism, or devotion to one sect and hatied to others, nor national lines, or religious or political creeds," and means by this to be understood setting up the claim that Christ was a liberalist in the sense in which the Repository one, we emphatically dissent, and even it must acknowledge that if He meant to incul cate any such principles, some of His utter ances were, to fay the least, exceedingly unfortunate. For example, the Repository which is a true exponent of modern liberalism, says It is a nourcoof illiberality in the hearts men to attach so much importance as many do to belief in certain theories to make belief in certain doctrines the passport the divine favor, and unbelief as deserving God's hatred and exposing the soul to eter nal burnings This making the eternal des tiny ot the soul, in heaven or hell, depend a man's belief in this life, is attaching quite too much importance to belief." But Christ, when asked what was neces sary to be done in order to work the works God? said, "This is the work of God that believe on him whom he bath sent." On other occasions he gave utterance to the fol lowing sentiments, He that believeth on him is not condemned but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the onlv begotten Son of God." He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved but he that believeth not shall be damned." 11 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life and he that believeth not on the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abidcth on him." Can the Repository distinguish any difference between its own teachings and those Christ as here set forth And, having quoted Him as authority, will it accept His words, and go on to imbibe His spirit? It were wicked enough in any party we might suppose, to deny the Ixrd that bought them but by a sjsteni of the most willful perversions to attempt to make the Messiah testify against himself, is sinking to a depth moral apostacy which is all but remediless its character. How pitiable it is to see the Repository floundering so helplessly in the slough into which it has voluntarily plunged. Having said what is quoted above, snd closed the paragraph by saying, This view of belief and unbelief tends to the production of illiberal feelings toward thoie who are regarded heretics." It makes an almost riirht about face" movement, and says for itself: We believe that the knowledge of God i tilling the soul with love. is necessary to the 1 salvation of the soul nut.

however, tl.i.i nn belief either now or at death, exposes to eternal ruin, because, as Luther admit, the nine ior changing Irum unbelief to belief is not limited to this life," It is said of two evils, choose the least," but which dues the Repository choose when escape from its nounderinrs. it takes Shelter in a relic of from which the strong minded and strong hearted reformer, owing to the generally prevailing darkness his times, was not able to free bim-? Still further, did it not occur to the astuto writer tlint in this one sentence he grants what he had contended against through entire previous paragraph? that belief is necessary to salvation i only "(asfinulor changing lrom unbelief to be- net, if not Itmttd to this lije." Happy thought this, for who on tell but that after wholesome discipline or the purgatorial fires, even the Repository itself Will become preacher of righteousneas What follows, doscriptive of liberal illiberal Christians, may answer the for which it was written, being a moderate kind of chaff to catch not very old birds.
