"THE AUBURN DECLARATION."
[ln the General Assembly of 1837, a Me
morial was submitted by an 0. S. caucus, in
which, among other things, a long list of
doctrinal errors was presented, with the re
presentation that these were taught and
held by sundry ministers in the Church, and
with the request that these errors receive
the formal condemnation of the Assembly,
which was done. This Memorial was from
the pen of Robert J. Breckenridge. The
New School minority voted to condemn the
errors specified, denying that they were
held by any ministers in the Church, and pro
testing against the allegation that they were
so held. In reply to the Memorial they sub
mitted a Protest, in which, among other
things, they presented a statement of the
true doctrines really held, by themselves and
those who were charged in the kemorial
with holding such heresies. When a Con
vention of the Synods, exscinded by the As
sembly of 1837 as, not truly Presbyterian in
organization, was held the same year in Au
burn, N. Y. this paper, written by the late
Dr. Duffield, of Detroit, was adopted as the
statement of the faith of what became in
1838 the New School Presbyterian Church.
It is, therefore, called " The. Auburn . Decl
aration." The 0. S. Assemblyof 1837 called
the attention of the Presbyteries to those
who had signed the " extraordinary state
ments " contained in this Deerarlition. That
of 1868 endorses it as containing " all the
fundamentals of the Calvinistic system."
Dr. Hodge, in the last Princeton Review, en
ters his demurrer to this solemn doctrinal
decision of the 0. S. Church. •Weprint the
errors alled&dty Dr. Breckenridge in mean,
and the true doctrine, stated by Dr. Duffield,
in larger type.]
First Error. " That God would have prevented
the existence of sin in our world, but was not able,
without destroying the moral agency of man, or,
that for aught that appears in the Bible to the con
trary, sin is incidental to any wise moral system."
True Doctrine. God permitted the intro
duction of sin, not because he was unable to
prevent it, consistently with the moral free
dom of his,. creatures, rbut for wise .-and be
neircilant reasiiris'Wfriiiti fie has not` r6i-ealed.
Second Error. " That election to eternal lifeAs
founded on a foresight of faith and obedience."
Election •to eternal life, is
True Doctrine
-. ;t founded on a foresight of faith and obe
,tence,. but is a sovereign act of God's mer
cy, whereby, according.to:thecounsel of his
own will, he has chosen some to salvation ;
"yet so as thereby neither is violence offered
to the will of the creatures, nor is the liberty
or contingency of second' causes taken away,
but rather established ;" nor does this
,gra
cions purpose ever take effect independently
of faith and a holy life.
Third Error. "That we have no more to do with
the first sin of Adam than with the sins' of •any oth
er parent."
True Doctrine. By a t divine constitution,
Adam was so the head anctreiireseirtative"of
the raco, that, as a consequence of his trans
gression, all mankind became morally cor
rupt, and liable to death, temporal and •eter-
I al.
Fourth, Error. "That infants'come into the world
as free from moral defilement as „was Adam when
he was created."
True Doctrine. Adam was created in the
image of God, endowed with knowledge,
righteousness, and true holiness. Infants
come into the . world, not' only destitute of
these, but with a naturoinelined-to evil and
only evil.
Fifth Error. " That infants sustain the same re
lation to the moral government of God, in this world,
as brute animals, and that their sufferings and death
are to be accounted ,for as
those of brtitesrand not.by tidy .ineans to-be 6ontiid
ered as penal.','
True Doctrine. Brute animals sustain no
such relation to the moth' - government of
God as does the human family. Infantsnre
a part of the human family ; and their suf
ferings and death are to be accounted for,
on the ground of their .being, involved in
the general moral ruin of the race induced
by the apostacy.
Sixth Error. " That there is no other original sin
than the fact, that all the poiterity of Adam 2 though
by nature innocent, will always begin to sin 'when
they begin to exercise moral agency; that original
sin does not include a sinful bias of the human
mind, and a just exposure topnal suffering ; and
that there is no evidence in Scripture that infants,
in order to salvation, do need redeinption by the
blood of Christ, arid, regeneration lay the Holy
Ghost,"
• True Doctrine. Original sin .is a. natural
bias to evil, resulting from the first apostacy,
loading invariably and . certainly to actual
transgression. And all infants, as well as
adults, in order to be saved, needredemption
by the blood of Christ, and regeneration by
the Holy Ghotit.
Seventh, Error. "That the doctrine of imputation,
whether of the guilt of Adam's sin, or of the right
eousness of Christ, has no foundation in the Word
of God, and is both unjust and absurd."
True _Doctrine. The sin of Adam is not
imputed to his posterity .in. the„sense of a
literal trans . fer of personal qualities, acts,
and demerit; but by reason of the 'sin of
Adam, in his.peeuliar relation, the race are
treated as if they had sinned. Nor is the
righteousness of Christ imputed to his peo
ple in the sense of a literal transfer of per
sonal qualities, acts ,and. merit, but by rea
son of his righteousness, in his peculiar
relation, they are -treated as if they were
righteous. • '
Eighth Error. "That the sufferings and death of
Christ were not truly vicarious and penal, but sym
bolical, governmental, and instructive only.
True Doctrine. The sufferings and death
of Christ wore not symbolical/ governmen
tal, and instructive only, but were truly,
vicarious,--i. e. a subrititutie"fai. the Int-nigh
ment due to transgressors.. And. while
Christ did not suffer the literal penalty of
the law, involving remorse' of conscience and
the pains of hell, he did offer a ,sacrifice,
which - ' infinite wisdom saw'to , -'a 'full
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSI), v
AUGUST 6, 1868.
equivalent. And by virtue of this atone
ment, overtures of mercy are sincerely made
to the race, and salvation secured to all
who believe.
Ninth Error. "That the impenitent sinner is by
nature, and independently of the renewing influ
ence or almighty energy of the Holy Spirit, in full
possession of all the ability necessary to a full com
pliance with all the commands of God."
True Doctrine. While sinners have all the
faculties necessary to a perfect moral agency
and a just accountability, such is their love
of sin and opposition to God and his law,
that, independently of the renewing influ
ence or almighty energy of the Holy Spirit,
they never will comply with the commands
of God.
Tenth. Error. gi That-bhriet does-nOL intercede for
the elect until after their regeneration."
True Doctrine. The intercession of Christ
for the elect is previous as well as 'subse
quent to their regeneration, as appears from
the following Scripture, viz.: "I pray not
for the world, but for them which thou hast
given - me, for they are thine. •Neither pray
1 for these alone, but for them also which
shall believe on me through their word."
Eleventh Error. " That saving faith is not an ef
fect of the operations of the Holy Spirit, but a mere
rational, belief cf the truth or assent to the Word of
True Doctrine. . Saving, faith is an intelli
gent and cordial assent to the testimony, of
God, concerning his Son, implying reliance
on Christ alone for pardon and eternal life;
and, in all cases it is an effect of the special
operations of the Holy Spirit.
Twelfth Error. " That regeneration is the act of
the sinner himself, and that it consists in the change
of his governing purpose, which he himself must
produce, and which is the result, not of any direct
influence of the Holy Spirit on the heart, but chiefly
of a persuasive exhibition of the truth, analogous
to the influence which one man exerts over the mind
of another ; or that regeneration is pot an instanta
neous act, but a progressive . work." . ,
True Doctrine. Regeneration is a radical
change of heart, produced by the special
operations of the Holy Spirit; "‘ determining
the sinner to that which is ind,"` find 'fa - in
all cases instantaneous.
Thirteenth Error. " That God has done that
he can do for the salvation of all men, and that man
himself must do the rest."
True Doctrine. While 'repentance for sin
and faith in Christ aKs.indispensableNto.sal
vation,,all'who ate saVedaare indebtedAfrom
first to last to the
. grace and Spirit of God.
And'the reason that` God does not save, all
is not that he wants the power to do it, but
that in• his wisdom he does not', see fit to
exert, that power further than he actually
does.
Fourteenth Error. " That God cannot exert such
influence on the minds of men, as ahall make it
certain that they will choose and act in a particular
manner, without impairing their moral agency."
True Doctrine. While 'the liberty of the
will is not impaired,,nor the established
connecticm betwixt means ang 44 4 ndii broken
gy any action of Goa on 'the inind, he Can
influence it according to his pleasure, and
does effectually,. determine it to,good in all
cases of true conversion.
.Fifteenth Error. " That the riihteoniness of
Christ is not the sole ground of the sinner's accep 7
tance with _God ; and that in no sense does the
righteousness of Christ become ours."
True Doctrine. All believers are, justified,
not on the ground
; of personal 'merit, but
solely on the ground of the obedience and
death, or, in other words,the righteousness,
of Christ. And while that righteousness
does not become theirs,' , in'the sense of a
literal transfer of personal qualities and
merit; yet, from respect to it, God can and
does treat them as if they were righteous.
,Sixteenth, Error. " That the reason why. some
differ from others in regard to their reception of
the - Gospel is, that they make themselves:to ,differ."
True Doctrine. While all such as reject
the Gospel of Christ do it, not by coercion,
but, freely—and all who embrace it
,do it,
not by coercion, but freely—the reason why
some differ' from others is, that God hits
made them to differ.
9N" IRENICON..,
Dean Aliorrd y, presided, July
25, at the anniversary of Cheshunt College, a
dissenting institution founded last century by
Lady Huntingdon, the distinguished patroness
of Whitefield. In an after-dimier speech Dean
Altra tediarkell that, as rnelft4i. hnd
a"m sis
ter of the Episcopal Church, he
,had considered
it not beside the path of duty to occupy the chair
on that occasion. Moreover, this College repre
sented - a very j sacred principle—l-that of hearty
mutual recognition of all Christian men as ser
vants of ene common Lord. 'This truth had
been largely forgotten in England, .lnit iewal es
pecially desirable to reineinbei it noil; and that
expression should be — given to a spirit of hearty,
loving recognition, of one another as brothers,
and equals in God's work. 'Tile company loudly
applauded the sentiment, anditlie Nan ivent on
to say:—
"But there is another reason, arising from circum
stances within the Established „Church herself. It
is no matter d(disifutelliat her 6 ißeforrnation vesture
was a emit of many colors. (Laughter.) Though
in the main the hues were soherett4ilte were not
wanting-pieces of the original scarleti'and here and
there's, tinsel ornament remained, tolerated for old
cu'stom's sake, and for the sake of those who cared
for it. And when fault wat3 found ;With us, there
were many who could` say-and - my own feeling
went with themes-that we were 'far from disliking
the effect of an occasional stripe of warm color, or
the glitter of an occasional spangle i and the more
so, as three centnries'wear had toned clown and
harmonised all ; so that in the brightness there was
no glare, and in the richness Ito incongruity. But,
gentlemen, the case is now widely altered. Men
have arisen who are for renewing and Widening
these same scarlet lines; who want to send them to
the Vatican to be dyed and trimmed, and the
spangles to be regilt and multiiplied. Now, I Etit.y,,
if we are going to refit, let the duffle gray have its
say in the matter likewise. (Laughter, and cheers.)
Let us mend up and renew the. bome-spun• 'as well.
.Give us fair, play all round. (Loud applause.) If
the'bright bits are to cross the water for burnishing,
letlhe , seber material be sent to our own • looms
and let our working hands have the re-weaving of
it. If accidental remnants are to be cherished,
much more the main fabric, woven as it was amidst
prayers, and tears, and anguish, and blood. And
then, when the motley vesture is ready, raw in its
colors, and without the toning of ages, I am much
mistaken if John Bull do not elect to have the whole
garment home-spun—to relegate the scarlet and
the spangles to the Vatican, and label them—' Not
wanted.' (Cheers.) For this reason, also, I heartily
wish prosperity to this and to like institutions;
prosperity—let the word be truly understood—to
Dissent itself. For this, gentlemen, is your true
prosperity—not to swell vastly in apparent num
bers—not to flourish on the ruins of other Churches
—but to give us the best example of this goodly
purity, this orderly method, of the English faith ;
to lay up for yourselves and us such store of this
garment, which no moth can corrupt, that in the
crisis of England's Church we may bless God that
we possess Dissenters:" (Loud Applause.)
USES OF SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
DR. WAYLAND, in his work on Moral Sci
ence, makes use of a remark capable of
much wider application than he has given
it : "A parent who assiduously follows his
children throughout the various steps of
their education, will find his own knowledge
increased, and his own education carried
forward, vastly beyond what he would have
conceived possible. There are very few
things which a child ought to learn, from
the study of which an adult will' not .derive
some advantage,-especially if he go throtigh
the Process of simplification and analysis,
which is so necessary to communicate
knowledge to the young. A parent's su
periority cannot be retained, if, as soon as
he enters upon active business, he desist
'from "all effort after intellectual cultivation,
, and 'surrenders 'himself a slave to physical
labor, While ho devotes his child to mere
mental cultivation, and thus renders intel
lectual intercourse between himself and his
children impossible."
The Sunday-school system is complete
within 'itself, if 'the whole of those •who
heartily engage in it move forward together.
Those who teach 'ago learn. It has been
begun with little Children who could neither
read 'nor write, and it has been carried on
among theological professors and students
With all the profoundness of the most
thorough and critical exegesis. It can thus
adapt itself without aid from without, and
bear the 'whole Mass iipivarifi from "the
Mile' child td the man of gray hairs, to the
'lleighte 'of 'all Biblical and , religions , know
' tedge, which their advantages, time )• had
diligence may enable them to pursue. The
Sunday-school is a system of authorized Lay
'instruction. There is .a vast amount of in
'telligence combined with piety, which, in a
religious point, would be almost . utterly
wasted, were it not for Sunday-schools,
while by them• it is broaght into the most
efficient action. it, thus performs a very
large portion of the work of an educated
Ministry, in an authorized and 'efficient
manner, and makes - their labors 'go much
ftirther and produce far more effect. PreaCh
ing is-not any better understood, but more
hie/1y prized; -and it AsUfreM the Sunday'
school that almdst all the , chuiches Of the
land are replenished..
It is, "moreover,' IL - system thoroughly
adapted to all classes and capacities. In
deed the religious studies on which it is
based have this remarkable feature, of mak
ing interesting all other studies connected
with them, however remotely. The geogra
phy of the Holy Land will become interest
ing to many a child who has cried over his
geography through ;the week:' Around all
history these studies throw a peculiar
charm, and •many of the researches now be
ing , made as to ancient Nineveh, Babylon
a.n.d Egypt derive their chief interest from
the light they throw upon sacred narratives..
.No doubt the - study of the classics has pro
duced muchiprofound researeh into various
points of history, manners and customs, but
the study ,. of religion 'as a whole has pro
duced some of the most valuable investiga
tions of our times into all branches of know
ledge.
A large proportion of the study of the
dead languages is applied to the illustration
of the Sacred Volume. Much of the pro-
Cess of this labor and all its • results are
brought out by Commentaries and Bible
Dictionaries ; and profound metaphysical
powers may be brought to greater perfection
from the careful study of .the original lan
guage and doctrines of the Bible, than' in
any other way. The Sunday-school seems
to possess the faculty of making all this
knowledge interesting. There is no doubt
that the Sunday-school is the great nursery
from which not only the ministry, but the
most efficient benevolent men and women
are supplied. It may thus be known be
fore band,,who will be practically useful as
teachers and as citizens. Those apt to
teach in the Sunday-school give at least no
small Promise that they will be found apt to
I teach in other spheres of usefulness and la
bor. But if they are above devoting them
selves to the humble labors of the Sunday
'
school,srotttgea.lous only to dee,Jaira. before
crowded' audiences, it is not difficult to see
that they must . mike but shallow and
frothy preaehers.''• Perhaps it may also be
added that there , isno other knowledge so
ea" ily and certainly tetalned,%where it ex
ists, as that of an early and thorough ac
quaintance with the Bib e. {n many cases,
the lack - of tLis will , never be overcome,
while a thorough , study of, the Scriptures
will give weight and success to all further
progreSs; that nothing besidesbouid supply.

OUR CORSETS
are now so well known for their superior Shape, Material and
Workmanship, that it is, perhaps, unnecessary for us to speak of
them further than to say that we have greatly enlarged our assort
ment of styles, both of our own make and importation, and can now
safely defy competitiim. It may be well said that
In Mrs. Sneawas's CORSETS, ladies find
The laws of Health with Fashion's taste combined;
Supporting equally each separate part,
They cramp no action of the lungs or heart,
And no injurious ligature is placed
To mar the fiesture of the natural waist.
Their fit is certain—and what's• sure to please,
In all positions there is perfect ease;
The figures of the young they help to form,
Aiding and not repressing every charm;
Irregularities of shape they hide,
So that by none can slight defects be spied,
While e'en it figure, which is understood
As being "bad," may by their help seem good ;
:And matrons wearing them a boon will gain,
Their earlyr.syrnmetry. they'll long retain.
FOR SALE ONLY AT
