their work. Pool was called of Christ and set apart by a sipccial cuniin^intier , AniMlaa,- to the apostuliUe; and When be and Barnabas by the call of the Holy Obott, were ^ t oat as foreign mtoinnariei). they were set apart, or ordained, by the ministry of the church of Antioch—no doabt under the direct ton of the chureb, since they repotted to Ihe church upon their return. Tim-othy, tba evaoRTlint, wa< called and ordained by the layinar on ttt hands of the presbytery, of which Paul was a member. &». no doubt, of all Other evang>U-ls and mlssli^nariea s-n't out under the directioc ol the ap<»tles and churclies. Even In the churdiea and cities theh^ders of tiie churctiea were ordered by Paul to I Im-Jtay to be ordained; and to In ail cases the rule ii>w«t have held goo.1. Thus the churches wfx« establliihed every wht-rt, and offlcerwl by anordalnwl mlulslry—<Ad»ln«l, und^r the election of the churches, by an ordained luinUtry of ifvangeilats or aposUea - these ttvai^[eU4a and apostles theoMelves being or dained. iiistorically. it Is true that the earl_ charchea maintained an ordained ministry, and

all tho agM ttJI regular denominaUom have maintained the i^ripiuml order and law of ordiaatlon. But few exii|»iioaH c.in be found, until the di80ipini»ng leudtmclM of modem ttmea.

Now Ood's law on this subjeci ha.i a rationaU, There m w t be i^Andards and methodis to regulittn and eOablish a ministry. Who is to be tho Judge of the call and qualifli-alions of the mlnUter T and who b to control and reguhite his orthodoxy, conduct and scope of du ty? i l i m « U ? Certainly, if he has a right to preach and t n c h publicly and exponentially, as a prodalnter and expounder of God's word. Independent of church authority. But God la not tiw God of c^nriHlon and disorder, nor does he plain so great a trust aa that of hi* sacrvd word in the handi of men who are re-sponsible to uobody. He has conatltuted his churcha sovereign, under Christ, and sacred guatdlana of his word, cach as a pillar and ground of the t ro th; to his churcbea he baa delivered hie Mordlnancea," too, for k e ^ n g fcnd administra-tion, and to his churclMB be has ddlvfared tho MncUon, acknowiedgemenl and ordination, aa well as the authority to control and diaclpllne, his ministers. This is New TesUment truth, and this waa the nnivenal practice of the charchea in the fiiat age^ tiU the urarraUoos of the clergy over the peoj^e culminated In the papecy of Bome—being in onb ryo from the Antichrist of the flrat centnry.

BEMABKS.— Dr. Lofton furnishea iis two articles on Minteierlal Authority, the flrvt of which we jcivo eur readers tbi-i week. Thla is a llvin* Issue, atnd so recogolased by our leading ixipers at tho North, and fnim what ha< appoan^l in several • f our Si«ulbern cschange<, th i re can bie no d<»ubt about Ihe Importance of a thorough cliiHr'-i'wIaD of the question.

Jt Is intiiiiated by one or more p^per at imst ths't it.id nce<Uesrt lo •litH.-UMi any such eubji cl. an tbcro^s not tho least nhadow of any danfti-r «f ministers trenching upon Ihe rlghU of tho ( lurches—that it ta all "wolf c ry"—and yet theM very papen stoutly deny Ihe guardianship and sole control of baptism to the local cbnrches. but teach that It belougs to the kingdom alone, and b under the control of the rolnbliy, the churchfs having no voice, exo'pt as the minisler may see fit to allow II!

If Ihe churches are indeed the sole guardlsn^ of the ordinances, b there no tendency to usurpation on Ihe part ol those mlnbters who sssert contn>l over t h b ordinance? Again, one Bnplbt paper, In the last monlh, openly and boldly sa-erti* that member^ lp In one chuiich cnlHIfs one to all «hurch privileges l« sH the churches*, thus uttwly annihilating Ibe laxt vesliice of church Inde-pendency. the right of self government; and. strange to »ay, t b b b |>at furlh a i sound Biptl-t polity on the sol! of Tennenice! lher« no dancer ahead of the advocacy of such moiwlroU'* pnslllons by a Baptist paper that claims to iw iroiy repn-sentallve of I b p t b t sentiments? Then titer.' are Bi«ptb>t mlnblers in AlshamaTMississippi aii.l Tcnne»«ee, as we learn from Ihe papers of iheso ^ l e a . who are carrying t b b theory Into practice — baptising without the voice of Ihe churchrs. and even under the shadow of organised churche*, and. In the very baptUtei v of a church, »lthi.«t c o u n t i n g the church i Is there no usurpatlim of church authority In these acta. If Indetd Ibe churchca have any authority ?

Not only are the chorchea denied all control of the ordinaneea, but north ol a a - a n d by how mkny among as?—i t b aaaertcd thai thecharcbes cannot elect and commission their own officers without the consent of a coancil of minbteis, and that even a coancil cannot act withoat a previous committee or examing coandl recommends the ocdInaUoD.

In tbla taxt, tbe godly have the divine aasuranoe thai they ibaU be Mtisfled with long life, and aee tbaaalvatloaor tbelrGod. .

Long lift ia dealiable, and a great bleeaing whcm It is tbe bertowmeat of Eternal wisdom and love, for" the aeoomplishmeat of the divine parpose, and tbe exhibition of tbegnee of Ood in Chiitt JeBB. •tLength of days is in th? right hand of wisdom."

It does not mean that aU the godly Uve to old age, foe many the most worthy and pious are eaxiy aommoned to te flrom tneir labors, in heaven. In a f^ yean they do mue than many others whoealUe is greatly prolonged. It is ear-ydring'how mnen some sccompUsh in a very eboitUfe.

Bot'there la a part of God's pmplewbom he Mioaiatoi llto M e ^ for a k»g Uma. whose

rtea; QiH inaB, anaott imidy to the harvest. His ptomiwa, fclthfblness, graee and love, have a apedal appUoatkm to tham. in whieh none but tbe aged can share.

This good old sgo" and desirable **ftaineBS(rf days " knot second childhood «r bdpltas depend-coca npoo wearied relaiions and icinctant charity.

What ate these iBtisfBctionsr 1. They live nntU the desire to live is satisfied. The desire fbr long life is perhaps commim to Tbe most of our race would prefer to live

alwaya, beeann the dread of death la so great that thay pnfcr any kno^ evil, rather than talie the sboct Joomey tbrOtigb the vale of shadows, to be oaeatttano soon. ~ *

Theae righteous ones become sstisfled to lire no longn than tii«y caa be nsefuL They have lived' loeg moagh to leach the standpoint fhMn whence tbey caa aee human life as only pr arstory fbr th« eternal life, and the enioyment of the Chief Good.

Ftom the 8MantaIn*a top on which they stand, tha legloaa thfoogh whidi their toilsome' idl> grfaaaga baa been made, is open to their view, with tbe retrospecUoo of the good, and the evil, whtdi have ftUeo to thdr let Befbn them to the pfospeettve, which fsltb and hope sees not tu away; J^ betoe tbe mMy vali , the narrow itvsr: bat over and beyend the shining dlor tlle rmmlaed laad or test.

Job said, «*I wwUd not live always;*' snd Faalderired to demand be with Asus, which lor him was " fcr bsHer." Tbey had Uved loog eaan tobesaHsfedttat todleww gain. Tbe advaaead ia yean have axperlenced that vanity Is writtaappoa dl earthly good, and that tbesi Is CBftoa

nothiac which csn give perfecl astisfsetloa bat God aid heaven.

Th»y are not fweed away by death against their wiU, out gladly fidl asleep in Jesus. " Now, lettest thou thy servant depart in peace " ex-claimed the delighted Simeoo, when be beh the infant Bedeemer.

2. They have tried Ood, and have had full and satMying evidenos of hib UthfUness and truth in falfllUng aU his intunlses.

Ood invites thU test of LimsdL "O, taste and see that tba Lord is good." "Bring ye aU the ttftea into tlie storelioaae, that there may be meat in my house, and prove me now heiewith, saitb tbe Lord of bests, If 1 n e t open you the win dows of heaven, and pour you out a bleasiiig tlud there shall not be nxun enough to receive." As much as to say, venture to experiment by apply-ing his word.

Makesevcxerit teats of all he has said upon tl -prindplei by which you try everything else, in fffder to flad th'? true and detect the fklse. Be-lieve, and thou Shalt be saved, for " btossM Is tbe man who trusts In him."

Becaase tb<ty have found all his promiseB yea and amen in Oirist Jeina, never having foiled, gives asBBance that they nevnr foO. WbsB did an aged saint ever ehaige God with unfoith-fulness to his promisea ? Tb€y have lived to see God's mysterioos provi-

denoee made measurably dear and plain. It re-quires time fbr the results of such tranasctions to become manifost. At one tiise lUvid could not see why the wicked were prosperoiM, while righteous men were neglected and dqmsed. Long afterward he wrote, have se«i tbe wicked in great power, and spr>Siiog himself like a gieen bay tree, bat he pa^ away, and lo, be was not, yea I aought him, but be could not be fbund." Also that be had "never seen the righteous for-saken, nor his seed begging bread."

Tboogb doods and dArknen are round about him, to them tbey are sunset doods, aU radiant and aglow with the reflected beaaa of hk inSnite goodness and knre.
