of each Testament. When the Now 'rosliiiiicnt
was pnbliHhxd In laSl, Its oompanieH wer.s lUs
mi..eed. I.astJnly tho English Old TestaiuBUi
company finished Its work, atul held iU dual moeiing
in the Jerusalem chamber of Westminster. Dr
, Bchaff, president of tho A uerican committee, who
has conducted all the correspondeuM relative totlm

Old Testament company was hold in the IMble
House, tho object being to determine tho proci-^e
nature aud extent of tho appendix which Is to be
bound with the books sold in this country, show
ing tho words on which ihero was a difl'erenoo of
opinion between tho two companies.
• After tho meeting of tho Old Testament company
last Friday, a Tribune reporter called on the iiresidontof
the committoe to learn if the date of tho
publication had been fixed. "It In not probable,"
said Dr. Bchafif, "that the work will be published
before spring. Tho English company has llnishet

Tho Umv. Dr. T. W. Chambers of tho Colic giate
Kjitormod church, a member of tho Old Testament
company, in a rocnt let'ei- mt 1 that lie had soon

standard .-ditioiK., which m (o be in four volumes,
omhra.-lntf (l)OenoHi», Ruth; (2) Samuel, Esther;
(3) Job, Canticles ; ^tnd (4) I-siah, Malachi. "As to
the churacler of ibe revision itu«ll," he added,
"notblnn vet is aiithoriiath'cly known; but it
-eeins to be tix-ltly understood among-all parties
tliat, the authors have been tnnch more conservative
than their ..•olleaguo were I'l preparing the
New Testament, in thfl main cmiflnlng themselves
to Ruoh ohangivi as were dcomod indispensable,
rather than extendinsf them to all cases whore they
might seem desirable."
In order to jjain additional light on the subject,
the reporter cfillcd on the Uev. Dr. Conant, who
was horn i'l 1802, and ha'^ o world-wide reputation
as a Bible revisiM', having been for m tuy years at
work on a revision of tho Bible for the American
Bible Union. Sovernd hooks have already been
published. CaF.taln Morgan, president of the
Atuorlcan and P\>relKn Bible Society three years
ago, offered Dr. Conant if25,000 to bring out a translailon
of the onlire Bible for hU Boclotv. At Saratoga
last vear tho • Baptist denomination inado n
somewhat' ra.llcal change lu regard to its Bible
work; but Dr. Conant is still busy with his
original work of revision.
Iu ipeakiug of the Canterbury or Anglo-Amorloan
revision of tho Old Testament, Dr. Conant
said : "One who has not committed muoh of tho Bibio
to memory could read tho new edition for pages
without knowing that any changes had beenmtdo,
Tho revisers have been very conBorvallve, and havo
left tho old (ext iindlstHrbed wherever possible.
Some of tho broader passages, howerer, have boon-
Hofteiiod, and a nuinber of minor changea mado,

Insload of tho inodorii ronderlng, 'Lord/ Tho Enuliah

ARK THE HEATHEN IN A I?ERI8HING
^ CONDITION.
REV. R. MOOB*.
fANY do not believe thAt they are. Some oven
object that mUalonaries going and preaching
to them wilt be means of insuring the condemna
tion of many, br giving the light, while failing to
convert them. The question is evidently, therefore,
OI>A of no small importdnce in its bearing on
(he missionary enterprise; for if any one denies, or
only doubts its necessity, it cannot bo exiwctcil
(hat he will be zealous in its supiwt't
As there is but one living and true God, who Is
(he iTudgo of all the earth, and by whom tho final
state of tho Heatlien, as all otiiers, Is to be determined,
tho answer to this question must evidently
come from htm alone.
Whale*or wo may think, h« will Bp|)oint the
fuitiro condition of (he Heathen according to liili infinite
wisdom. And of one thing we maybe perfectly
assured, ho will do right; nor is It possible
for any human being to bo more alivo tn tho demands
of right, or yet more compassionate than
he 18.
What, tlien, do tho Scripturcs say on this momentous
subject ? Many passages might bo quoted,
but a few only will bo adduced:—
1. There is a class of passages wiiich unequivoctllv
declare that "no idolatdrs shall inherit the
kinguom ol'Ood."
"Know yo il8t the unrighteous shall not inherit
tiiekingdomuf God?" "Be not deceived, neither
fornicators nor adolators chall inherit tho kingdom
of God." No language surely can l>o more decisive
on the point in question. For if idolutors cannoi
inherit the kingdom of God, there is only one alternative:
thoy perish.
2. The author of the Epistle to the Hebrews uses
this solemn exhortation: "Follow peace with all
men, and holiness, without widch no man shall
see the Ijord." And tho apostle Peter urges, "It is
written, be yo .holy, for I am holy." Evidently,
tlierefore, in order that the Heathen may see the
Lord, (theineaningof which language undoubtedly
is the same as entering into tho kingdom of God)
tiiey must bo holy.
Now, although many a:-o inclined to apologize
for them, becauso thoy have been bom and brought
up ill darkness, who has ever contended tlist tliey
are holy? Is imt their very name a synonym of
wickcdness? And hero wo have tiie word of God
declaring in specific terms, that tlio unholy shall
iiol see Ihe Lord."
3. Wo have tho explicit declaration of tho itedcemer
himself: "Except a man bo born again.
I e cannot see tho kingdom of God." Is this true
only of those who have heard tha gospel ?
Docs not tho utterance rather indicato tho moral
condition of human nature, and the only way in
which tho natural man can bccomo holy, and so
enter the kingdom of God ? AVo are not of those
wlio bolievo in baptismal regeneration, but in re-
Regeration by tho Spirit, througH tho word of God;
as said Peter^ "Born again, not of corruptible seed,
but of Incorruptible, by the word of God, which
llreth and abldetli forever."
Now, tlie word of God, in order to produce any
effect, must evidently first bo heard, or ir some
other manner learned. For It Is a Idressed to tho
minds of men. After It has been learned, then, by
lheoi)eratlen of tho Spirit in tho mind, It Is thought
niMn, it Is believed, It Is obeyed. Every sinner,
thorefoire, whether lit a Healiten oriu agoipol land
must be regenerated by tho word and Spirit before
he can bo holy—a child of God and an heir of the
heavenly Inheritance,
While then one olass of usages declare that,
because that God is holy, man must also become
holy in order to dwell with God, other passages
teach us that, through regeneration by tho word of
«oaholiness Is to be obtained. Who, then, will
presume to say, while men in Christian lands must
M born again In order to bo saved, tlie Huthen
x^r enter the kingdom of God wllhoui heariiig
DaEliEKfiEssE^Bamgfi
the word, withput being belT* aiyfaUi, and so wlthouthoHiiest?
If this were «o, would tt not be better be Iwrn
and breught up In Healheiiistu, ratbei than under
the infiuence ot the gospel t
i. One passftgfl more, tlio languago of Pau! In the
first and second chapiors of Iloinans. Ho being the
apostle of tho Gentiles, sent (o proooh tho grtspal.to
(ho Healhen', as i'eter was to the Jews^ traveled
extensively among (hem, obtorvlng their lives,
reasoning and disputing with them, and striving (o
porsuado thorn to Imlievo in the ijord Jesus Christ,
"that they might b» saved."
After delliieaiing their frightful wickedness, and
proving tliem to bt) "wiihoui oxoiise," ho convlcU
them of belug exposed to "the wrath of God, which
is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness
and unrighteousness of mon." Titen leading us
forward to tliejuilgment seat of Christ, tho aiTosile
declares that Gmi will rcud ir tuovery man according
to his deeds; iiidignution and wrath, tribulations
and anguish, upon ovory soul of man that
•loeth evil, ot tiie Jew first, and also of the Genliie;
Ihat h, as we all well know, of tho Heathen.
Known unto God is tho true coudilion and character
of the Heathen world, and here wo have tho
declaration, how he, tha ri({hteoiiH one, will judge
them at the last day. Tho plain teaching of tho above
passHges Is that the Heathen, being idolators and
UMholy, cannot, continuing as they are, be admitted
into ttio kingdom of (>od or of lieaven; that
they need be born again instnimentally, Utrongh
Iho preaching of "tho word of the truth of tho
gospel." And so appears the reason for tho loving
and gracious com maud of tho Il ideeinor, "Go yo
into all tho world, and proach the gospel to every
creature." Will wo go?
It is said that when tho American Board ot
Foi-cigu Missions was before tho legislature of
Masfachuseits to ask for an act of incorporation,
one member of that body opposed tho act on the
>frountl, as he said, thai "wo have litllo enough religion
at liome, without exporting any."
Another •lember in replying to him SAld, "Gentlemen,
religion Is a commodity of which tho more
}ou export, ihe more you liaru at homo."
The more wo give for the convernion of the
Heathen, tlie more we will have hi build up the
cause at home, and tlie Go

from "Brethren Kavvcott, Callahan and Kincaid"
on iho communion quostion. I should have thought
you would have ere this put mo down along with
ohnrcti-commuuionists. That ii where I lii'and,
positively and llrmly, I have been ol ihia persuasion
of mind since I was pastor of Btigliton church
in JS74, wherti and when, in preaching soma sermons
on chuixh governraont, I haw that no churoli
could Scripturally extend her ccmmunion beyond
the limits of her diicipliue. I believe this was hegan agitating or diicussing the subjcct.
I do no thercfori', feel that I a»n "priest-ridden."
The more I study the word of God (and not my
feelings and sentiments) on the suljoct, tho stronger
I l>elieve it to be the only Scriptural position, and
(ea«ible practice for Baptists. Tho pressure of the
communion issue is gathering force in this State;
arid tVlli, ere long find an avenue ot expression.
It is working by assiniilatio:!, which we bclievo
to i>e the most substantial a«id Scriptural way. Wo
cuLnot resolve Jior Iegi»latu tru'h into men's mindH
and hearts; it must bo received by personal appropriation,
ano bt'come a pan of the man, himself,
by personal assimilation; then his practice of it
bscomes a thing of truth and principle, and not
mere opinion and sentiment.
Seems to us there should he no objection to a
fair Clirintian and Scriptual di^cuijciion of this subject.
Such dbcitssion will certainly tend to develop
the truth in the matter. I notice ono thing, tho
more the subject is diecuMod tho more non-int«rcommunionisis

pDITOR BAI1'I8T:-I ivish to lot you and the
Baptists of Tenneisce know something of that
number that is called the little iluck (fear not, little
lloefc). The Blanco Baptist Association met
with Mineral City church. Boo county, Texas,
August 23rd, and after a harmonious session of
three and a half days, adjourned to meet with
Oakville Bapti»t ciinrch, Live Oak county, Texas,
on Saturday before the fourth Sabbath in August,
1885.
This Association la weak in numbers, but strong
in faith, but fe^V of tho ehurohes numbering over
thirty memt)crs, and some far less. This Association
has ever hestircd herself on tlio subject of
ministerial education and missions, both domestic
and foreign; and I am satisfied that this interest is
largely on tho increaic, Thia Asiociitlon coinprieca
a large teriiory; about oioven counties, six*
teen or aeventeeh cliurchda. Two new ehurohes
were added the present session. Xleporta show a
fair average work idone this year in her bonnds.
The coihmltleo (in booka and periodieala* did not
forget to recomfnond THK TXKHRBBKE BAPTIST and
the literatnni of the Ilaptist Book Hoiias, Momphil,

B
you is working filh a good interest, I shall continue at tho next
mcetinff. Tho meeting resulted in about twentytwo
conversions, iiintcen additions, two of them by
letter. On Sunday I buried sovcuteen happy convert«
in bapt'sm, and I think more will follow
loon. Several Methodists and Campbollites have
about innde up their minds to renounce the traditions
of mon and follow tlio Savior.

by the Board will greatly strengthen its

A that trouiHl ihli «|UP«tloiii Jiml gstliorwl U»o
oontrovt'iiiy of Iho ages, A« lo itif naturo and as his oivn. Ho could not «ay that tho man
who denied the artIcl*N of faith as held by iho
church of which ho was a memloor was walking
orderly; for (hen he would say that he hioisalf was
disorderly. He declaicd persons should bo di»cipled
before baptixm, and when baptixed, admitted
to membership and commaniou. Where this is revartcd
formal, dead churches exist, ai in Russia
aiul Germany. Churches that, like Robert Hall's,
practiced open'Cotnmuulon, cut tho middle link of
CtiHsl's commission, and its cflTect was to degrade
or annihilate tho ordinance of Christ's baptism.
Peoph) began lo ask what is tho use of it if oue can
b« admitted to mmmunioti without it? aud the
churches began to be filled with people unbaptized,
aud not anionabl6 to dlsclpllno. Baptist churches
are no more close than all the rest of tho world :
they were not close commuuists, but close Daptiits.
They were not achismatice; for they foll«wed
Christ and the apostles in baptism, according to
tho scholarship of the world. They had no ball
dogs to guard the tabio: extended no invitation,
becaute thi Scriptures gave none. He
would sooner hare the table open to the world
than that infant baptism should bo introduced into
tho church, aud make an unregeuerate world.—
BaptUt Flag,
It gives us pleasure to give tho views of Dr.
Bijyd on the Lord's supp or to our readers, because
«o eminently Scriptural. We have never advocated
views more atrltt than these. Notice a few
points : —
1. It must bo the joint action of tho ahuroh.
Persons not members of that church oanuot, therefore,
partloipate wUh U, which faot ia itili farther
empliasised by the other «orreot osiertton —
% It oannot be takea out of the church to a
private houie, knd admliiUtered to one person
If we wero |)r«aent in his church on oomtuuuion
Sabbath^ a'tid the only visitor present^ should the
deacons bring the eiomonts to us it would bo ad
Rplnlatering it to ono person; and it would bo as
much taking It out of'tLo church as it would be to
oarry tlio olemonts a mile away.
^ 3. He saye, and says truly, it la "declarative of
chiiroh fcllowiMp," A pers'ou «ot a niembtr of
tho church oelebrAiing the auppor cauiiot, there
fore, oat with it, and thna deolaro au open falsehood;
