On the Nt page of the Record of last
'Week, friend Editor you published .4 .
"Card" taken. from the Reformed Chuith
Messenger. It is .calculated' to produce
an etioneous impression, hence the lequest
to insert also for the benefit of Star read
•efs the following: The MoithlY did not,
make Dr. Gerhart say iti his Trdet No. 3
what the Card insinuates, as will appear
a, the article below: :Mat Dr. Gerhart
now says the Refer:Wed Church always
tenaciously held in opposition to the Mer
cersburg Theology. • The Pastor of Trin
ity Refornied Church of this place never
asserted anything else when preaching on
that vital question, "How_eloes the_ainne
receive an interest in the saving ben flits of
Christ Jesus," but that "All the benefits
of Christ are received, that is, appropria
ted by us and thus made our own; not by
baptism, not in the way of any sacrament;
al transaction, but by personal faith, and
by the exercise of personal faith exclusively."
But the article in reply to the Card from
the Christian World speaks for itself :
The Mercersburg writers; it is well
known; have put themselves forward as
great reformers; and as oracles in theolog
ical lore. They affect to teach by author
ity. They assume great learning. They
are thoroughly acquainted with the mod
ern theology of Germany, and in accord
with it. They understand the Heidelberg
CathechiSna far better than did Ursinus.
They are "the Church," and whoever
dares to call_ in question, their_ Oracular
deliverances; opposes "the Church," etc.;
etc. '
And yet the suspicion has been gradu
ally creeping through the Church that
their theological knowledge is not quite
so overwhelming as they seem to assume ;
that it is quite prudent to examine and
try their utterances by the Bible and the
Cathechism, and that at best they are ire:
ry unreliable guides ; nay, that in assunt
ing to teach all modern Christendom it
would be well if they Would become learn:
ers for some time yet,to as to know where:
of - they affirm.
This suspicion will be confirmed by a
recent exposure. On the iliabject of bap
tism which has been their bobby for years,
on Which"they have preached at times in
numerable, and written interminably, it
new appears that they' have no definite o
pinion at all, and that so far as the very
marrow of the matter is concerned; they
are on both sides of the question.
This will become plain to every Olio by
rearling two deliverances; both by Dr.
Gerhart, and which we give here, side by
side, so that everydne can compare them :
Dr: Gerhart in Tract I Dr. Gerhart in Messen-
No . 3. t ger:
"In holy baptism "All the benefits of
grace is this same Christ are received,
divine life bf Christ I that is, appropriated
given by the new f• by us and thus made
creating power of our own, not by bap
the Holy Spirit to tisni, not in the wuy
those NI , ho are by I
of any sacramental
nature dead in sin, transaction, but. by
in that by baptunt l personal faith, and by
they arc engrafted into the exercise of personal
Jesus Christ, and are faith exclusivity."
therefore made partak
ers of Christ and all
ht.§ benefits:"
•
"There is no exter- I
nalwashing with wa-
ter withouithe inter-
nal washing with the ,
Spirit."
REMARKS
1. Dr. Gerhart will not call into ques
tion the genuineness of these quotations.
The first is taken from his Tract No. 3,
published, we think, in 1870, the second
is taken from a card lately isublished by
him in the Messenger. Dr. Gerhart will
pass this contradiction by in dignified si
lence; which is at least convenient.
2. The twb at:lien:tenth' taithilt plaugibly
be reconciled. Because (to use his own
language) the one "asserts just the Con
tradictoky opposite" of the other: The one
asserts that all the benefits of Christ "are
received" or "appropriated," not by bap
tism, but "by personal faith exclusively."
The other affirms that "we become par
takers" of all the benefits`of Christ by
baptism, and the Tract urges that this is
done by baptism exclusively. But there
is no difference, as every one can see, be
tween "to receive" and "to become par
takers of." In the case of the benefits of
Christ,he who "becomes partaker of them"
must hate "reeeited" theta.
3. These are no accidental utterances
of Dr. Gerhart imperfectly expressed.—
That sentiment taken from Tract No. 3
is the burden bf the whole Tract. The
Tract is nothing else than a statement, it
eration and reiteittion of this one propo
sition, in various fottas, as e. q., that we
are saved by btiptisM, (ltat we become the
children Of God by baplizbn, that we are
creitted in the 'linage Of Gbd by baptism.
that we are cleansed from the pollution of
sin by baptism, that we become partakers (f
the merets Of Christ by baptism, 'etc.; all ex
pressed ih the most positive and bracular
tnauner. The other (contradietory) sen
timent, seems drawn up with the niost es
pecial care, so as to express his ilid.rs as
he wishes other denominations to under
stand them, and here it is that the bene
fits of Christ are received by personal faith
exclusively.
4. Both Oritilifints barthot be true.—
The latter is in steordanula 'With the Ilei•
delbergCathechism (question 20) the dee
trine of the Fathers and the Bible; the
former is a vagaty br the AlieteerShurg
Theurv.
5. lilercersburg pf‘ifees lotidly to idsch
positive theology. Which of these posi
tive propositions are we to take as er
pressing the real views of the Mercershurg
School ? Are such guides reliable ?
Would it not be well to become clear as
to their own views, before urging them
upon a long-patient Church.?
P. S.—Dr. Gerhart's proposition, given
in the right hand column above, is his
latest revi:sed statement on baptism, tak
en from his card in the last Messenger.
We should be very glad to learn that
Mercersburg will abide by that statement.
As regards the card; it is calculated to
make au erroneous impression, as though
Dr. Gerhart hr.d never tittered the send.
meet ascribed to him in Dr. Schne'ck's
'book. The extract given above (left hand
dolemn) 'shows that he has, ih tubstance,
given utterance to the sentiment he now
repudiates. We have examined into the
Yriattei 'and find that Dr. Schneck did
make an error in giving said sentence as
a quotation , from Dr. Gerhart. How he
came to Make this error- we .hnow not,
anil D. Gerhart •hair a perfect right there
fore to correct it. The sentence complain-.
ed of was not printed in the Monthly in
quotation marks (aii'd therefore the Month
ly is not to blame); but is contained in,an
article written: by the undersigned (in the
January 1.87.1.; number of the Monthly),
reviewing said Tract No. 3, and given as
a summinq up of what we understood Dr.
Gerhart to teach. That summing up was
correct. This we unhesitatingly affirm.—
Dr. Gerhart did teach that doctrine, if
the English language has any definite
meaning. The single extract given above
wilt prove it.. But the matter, is examin
ed more at length in an article sent on
for the June number of the Reformed
Church Monthly, to which-interested read
era are referred.
We regret that Dr. Sehneek made the
Mistake, BM the only Mistake wasin the
quotation marks. That sentiment (now
complaibed of and now repudiated) is the .
whole Widen of the Tract Po. 3, written
by Dr Gerhart. That Tract was publish
ed in.full iii the Monthly, ember'7o.

The office of shool director is one so
honorable and-so responsible that no one

t i discharge the duties of the office. And
yet we find lamentable deficiencies in bur
schools. The many illiterate and rude
children on the street shows thlii their ed
ucation has been defective—sned upon en
tering a school room where there is con
fusion, and the teacher to enforce 'obedi

and "if OM do so, strap ilbu," or with
a coaxing; niduing, babyish strain strives
to constrain children to a cdnipliance—
we couciede Stich teachers should be class

As the ivhble community is deeply in

we subedit these suggestions and will be
pleased if ycitf Viablish them with the ac

IMPtiRTAI;IT tti SCHOOL DIRECTOIRS :
It is perhaps tacit generally known that
the annual publication bf a statement of
the financial proceedings and condition
of each school board in this State is re
quired by the school ht*; and that it is
the imperative duty bf each board to com
ply with this proviSibm It has not been
generally complied With, mainly because
school officers knew nothiOg of its exist
ence, but sometimes for reasons of adiffer
ent character. In order to avoid trou
ble, direttors shothl be careful to attend
to this Ivise and important part, of the
school lat; This published statement
should be Made by the old boards.
The Department will withhold.the State
apprbpriation from all districts that fail
to make the annual public statement. In
order td receive the amount appropriated
by the State to each school district, the
president of the respective boards must
appear before a Justice of the Peace. and
swear or affirm to the following ; That
the schools have been open and in opera
tion, according to the requirements of the
school law, for'the term of not less than
five months during the school year ; that
no teacher has been employed for or had
charge of any of the schools of the dis
trict during the year specified, who had
nut at the time a valid certificate -from
the County Superintendent.; that, the ac
counts of the district, treasurer and tax
collector for the year specified hare been
settled, and statements in full of the fi
nancial operations of the district publish
lished, according to law. This affidavit
made by the president must be counter
signed by the secretary, both officers of
• the old board, and, together with the "an
nual district repoit, h must be for Warded
by the new board tb the proper:County
Superintendent.
The section of the kw reqairino. b an an

from the wounds upon the head and other
