Without entering into the arguments pro. and con., wo simply give -the doctrines as we find thorn: The writer says as tried by the original teachings, it is a very re markable and a very hopeful tact,that there is ,no prominent' evangelical Church which bolds exclusively the doctrine pf Calvin or Arminius. , Tho Westminster Assembiyadopted essen tially the Canons.-pf the Synod of Dort i (1618.) Those Canons are in five chapters and relate to five.poip.ts;. first;' particular and' unconditional election; second, .particular redomp-- tion,; or tho limitation of the saving effects of Christ’® death to the elect only; third, total depfavity and' total moral inability of man as a fallen creature; fourth, the irresistibility of divine grace; fifth; the final persover encej ortho saints. The followers of Arminius deny these teachings in whole or in part; as drawn in the fol lowing formula of belief: First, Elec tion consists simply, in the foreknow!* odgo.of God, and is not absolnte and unconditional. Second, Christ died for ail men,and His atonement is suffi cient for all rpen. Thiid, Every in dividual is - invited to partake of His grace. Fourth, Divine grace is offer ed to make the wjill comply with the invitation, of mercy,- but this grace may :bo resisted and rendered ineffeot-. ,ual by the sinner’s perversity. Fifth, Saints may fall from the state of grace in which they are placed by the Oper ations of the Holy^Bpirit. \ —lt'seems incredible that Ration alism exists to. such an extent as it does p,this country, and yet we find in an able religions journal the fact . established that a minister of a Con gregational Church in one of the cit ies ’of Jfow Hampshire, recently in veighed 5 against ‘.‘water baptism” os ho called it, declaiing: that-it was not properly a Christian ,ordinance, but a relic bf Judaism and other symbolic faiths.
