in the old Testament at those IS- placeSj -to learn

found that ia fourteen of the fifteen, the action was
dipping, and in none of them spriakling or pouring.
It was Mr. Percy who read that "the mcamng of

Chalmers that ' we (Presbyterians) consider it a

other way. Now if Mr. Bames does pivve that the
word means "to dip" "for the purpose of sprinkling
or for some other p u r p l e " and yet tells that it can
be done by pouring, does he not mystify the subject by a strange medley of words? Was it so

B R O . P E X D L E T O S —Ilavirg better acquaintance
with you than with Bro. Graves and Bro. Buck, allow me to suggest a dilliculty which has presented
Itself to ray mind, in reading the article on the
'• Philosophy of Religion" m the last number of
the Southern Baptist Review. Bro. B. exprc.sses
the opinion that a murderer would not, according
to law, lie punished for his crime, provide the murdered person, miraculotlsly rc.stored to life, should
be presented in court on the trial. T cannot see
how the law would hold such a man guiltless, while
malice prepense is proved, and the murdered person
IS restored without the agency or desire of the
murderer.
My respcct for Bro. B. would deter me from asking from you a critici.sm on liis article, if I had not
been a Baptist long enough to feel that independent habit of thinking which our form of government eminently fosters. Will you I c kind enough
to explain the difficulty.
I.SUL LEER.
REMARKS.
' I n q u i r e r ' will please excuse me. Bro. Buck is
one of the corresponding Editors of the Baptist, and
will. I doubt not take pleasurs in elucidating stiU
farther the point, which •Inqiiirer " thinks involved
in difliculty. The article on the -Philosophy of
Religion," is unquestionably the profoundest and
ablest I have ever seen from Bro. Buck"s pen. It
contains a vast amount of thought. There will be
some diflierence of opinion on some matters he refers to: but if our young ministers will carry into
their various ramifications to topics suggested, they
will not only learn to l/iini, but they will find that
the article is worth much more than the subscription pricc of the Review.
The difliculiy which troublfs • Inquirer ' is somewhat perplexing to me. This thought suggests itself to my mind: Suppose Dr. Parkman, six months
after his murder bj- Professor Webster, had been
miraculously restored to life, and had made his appearance in the court in Boston, would his miraculous restoration and appearance before the Judge
and J u r y have rendered the term murderer inapplicable to Prof. Webster ? Evidently not. Why
was he a murderer! Because he killed Dr. Parkman with malice prepense. Very well. The killing
took place, and the malice with which it was done,
could not have been changed by Dr. Parkman's
restoration to life. Now if Webster would have
been a murderer, notwithstanding Dr. I'"s. return
to life, would he have deserved deatli? Would not
Dr. P s. restoi-ation to life have been a matter in
which Prof. Webster would have liad no agency?
If so. the question of his gtiilt would not, it seems
me. have been affected at all. Dr- P"s., appearance
in court would not have made the epithet '-guilty"
inapplicable, nor the plira.se -'not guilty"' applicable to Prof. W . Will Bro. Buck be able to show
that Dr. P s. miraculous recovery from the stroke
of death, would have exempted Prof W., from the
liability <0 suffer the murderer"s punishment! If
he says the recovery would have repaired the injury done by the murderer, so far as the interests of
the Oommonwealth of Massachusetts were concerned, the question arises, would it have divested
Webstcr s character of the guilt of munler in the
sight of God! If not, why! The idea seems to
be that the injury sustained by human law, in
its infraction by murder, is neutralized by tlie murdered nian"s return to life. Why would not the
injury sustained by the divine law be repaired in
the same way! It evidently would not: for he
that halelk his brother, is a murderrr" in the judgement of God, whose judgement is according to
truth. The reason is obvious ; Murder proceeds
from hatred, and the Omni.scient eye sees murder,
in embryo, in the heart which indulges hatred.
I beg pardon for writing so much. I shall await
Bro. Buck's rcplv to ' Inquirer.'" with much interest.

The Bible Board, at its last regular meeting, appointed our well beloved brother, W . N. Chaudoin,
as the regular agent to collect the funds, organize
Bible Societies, and advance the interests of the
cause, in whatever way Providence may place it in
his power to do so.
He will enter upon his duties at an early day; and
we take this occasion to commend both him and the
cause to the attention and liberality of all our brethren to whom he may come.
Brother Chaudoin is well known in Nashville and
the surrounding country, as a pious and laborious
minister of Jesus, of great earnestness of purpose,
and more than ordinary capacity. The son and the
grandson of Baptist ministers, he is a thorough and
complete Baptist, and will not fail to render himself acceptable to any congregation where he may
have an opportunity to exercise his gifts.
