HALL'S COMMUNICATION on rue 311c of Klnptl.niii Ax the vast majority of the readers of the A ruerienn In-long to denominations differing Irotn lire HnpiiMs, justice demands, that Mr. Hall s'muld be answered through the same medium which made public his communications. Hav ing waited, in vain, a reasonable time for a re ply from I P. I,., and for the conclusion of Mr. Hall's remarks I proceed to fulfil my condition al pledge to furnish an answer. It would be much more agreeable to me, and belter calculated to give a full view of our side of the question, to exhibit the subject in the form of an essay. Hut, as it lias assumed a controversial shape, it seems proper to mcctjt in that aspect. Finding it impossible to classify Mr. Hall's thoughts, or reduce them to any lo gical order, the necessity is imposed on me of following him in his wanderings from Pan to Beersheba. It is not at all necessary to a pro per view of the main subject to reply to every thing that he has written ; but it is expedient to do so, becatiFe there arc many whose minds are perplexed by the merest trifles, especially when uttered with that air of self-confidence which so preeminently distinguishes the pieces f Mr. Hall. The weakest assertion often con vinces such minds, when the strongest argu ment fails to make any impression. As must have some kind c.f method, I will notice, in this number, the remarks of Mr. Hall which have an appearance of connection with his arguments, and which he probably thought were arguments strong enough for ignorant minds; afterward, examine and dispose of hi t stronrr points; and, lastly, take my farewell of the Rev. gentleman and Ins li:bors, by a pro per reference to various gratuitous and irrele vant assertions scattered through his communi cations. As it regards the piece of I. P. I.., to which Mr. Hall has replied, I have to state, that I do not approve it entirely, though most of its ar guments are sound. Unfortunately, its merit is much greater than its adaptation to common minds it contains more learning than even Mr. Hall's mind seems able to comprehend. My readers need only to be reminded, that any piece, relating to baptism, written by a Bnptis-t, will be most dogmatical, and have very weak points for, however enlarged may lie his understanding, and however much he may be like other christians in all other matters, yet, on this subject, his mind contracts to the small est possible point, and he can see nothing but much water, even in a sandy desert where no mirage in the distance creates the delusion Mr. Hall censures and ridicules I P. I, tor referring to the Old Testament in support of sprinkling and pouring, and says, that, in tho passages to which L. refers, the word baptize does not occur. This is disingenuous, inaa much as L. does not say that they contain the word. The argument of L. from the passages is ofthe analogical kind, and is perfectly sound It is this: That, as the influences of the spirit are represented in the Old Testament by sprink ling and pouring, therefore, baptism, which is an emblem of purification, is fitly administered by the corresponding mode of applying the water, viz: by sprinkling or pouring. I then confirms his argument by the assertion of John that Christ would baptize with the Holy Ghost and fire, which assertion hethows was verified on the day ofl'enticosf, when the prophecy of Joel was fulfilled, that the spirit should be pour ed out. The baptism of the Holy Ghost, and the pouring ut of the spirit then are eqniva lent cxpretsinns, anil, of course, the pouring of water on the subject is baptism. Mr. Hall, nettled by the force which he knows this kind of argument will exert on candid minds, though he attempts to despise it Goliah like, defies L. to prove that sprinkle and pour are of the same signification with the word, baptize. Goliah can defy, but David can silence in death the boasting chiinpion. I have just proved that to baptize signifies to xmr; and, I here assert, that to baptize means to apply water with the view t'I'cleansing, and t ion to I., that the blood of sprinkling has no analogy to baptism, and that baptism represents regeneration. Not to stop to find fault with the sentence, which is unmeaning is he has written it, I proceed to remark, that he is cor rect in saying that baptism is an emblem of purification ; but ho is incorrect in saying, that the sprinkling of tho blood of Christ i. not typi fied by the sprinkling of water in baptism for, sprinkling was an emblem of purification, and, hence, is used in connection with the blood of Christ for the very purpose of setting forth its purifying influence, and, consequently, accord ing to his own admission, that baptism is em- b'cmatical of cleansing, it is of the sprinkling of the blood of Christ on the heart. And when he grants ihat baptism denotes the washing of regeneration, he also ignorantl) grants, (w hat he intends to deny,) that pouring also is a pro per mode, for the regenerating influences of the Spirit arc represented by pouring. As to his remarks, that the sprinkling of the blood of the Saviour has inclusive reference to the lord's nipper, it only shows that he has need to study theology. As to baptism being emblematical of the death and resurrection of Christ, and of our death and resurrection, as he has simply made the assertion without any proof, I assert on the contrary, that the Baptists altogether mistake the meaning of the texts on which they rely for their argument. As far as the figurative lan guage ofthe texts, "being buried in baptism," is concerned, it imports a spiritual death and resurrection death to sin, and resurrection to a new life, and has, in itself, no reference to the mode of baptism, and this we arc prepared to prove at any proper time. Mr. Hull, in the true spirit of a baptist, makes some remarks upon the proper action in baptizing, and at once 6eiiles it in favor of immersion. I won der that all the baptists in the world are not lrowned for they hardly start from any jwint without running as fast as they can, and plung ing into the water over head. He says, some practice immersim, and others practice sprink ling and pouring, and he is Hire that they can not all be right, for the actions are diflerent. Yes, Mr. Hall, both ways can be right, 'or there are often many ways of doing the same thing. But Mr. Hall will have it, w hether or not, that his WHy is right, and ours a deviation from Pivino authority, and, therefore, a mere hu man invention. Well, it is some comfort that Mr. Hall is not to be our Judge, or, we would find no mercy. Bu, delightful, the Saviour is to be our Judge, who, we know, is not particu lar about an indiflercnt matter as are Mr. Hall THE AMERICAN. Saturday, June 17, 1843, (Tj- V. B.

Mr. Hall then says that it the Saviour had in tended to authorize pouring or sprinkling, he would have used certain words. Well but, Mr. Hall, why did you not proceed further and say, that if the Saviour had intended to au thorize immersion exclusively, he would have selected a word which signifies nothing else, of which there aro several in the Greek lan guage! You assert that the word baptizo is not once rendered in the Bible by either pour ing, or sprinkling. Nor is it rendered once in the New Testament by immersion. So here again we are even with you, notwithstanding your attempt to imopse on those w ho are igno rant ofthe original. But more ot baptio in my next communication. In closing this number, I w ish particularly to call the attention of my readers to several remarks of great importance. The first is, that no Greek words to express baptism could have been selected w hich would have admitted different practice under them so well as those which are used in the New TWtamr-iit. My nex remark is, that, therefore, the Holy Ghost seems to have provided against uncharilubleness grow ing out of the mode. A third remark ot great interest is, though j we are willing to let the Baptists indulge a reasonable preference for immersion, that, i taking together the various circumstances con nected with the (lilVerent cases of baptism on record in the New Testament, the evidence is greatly in favor of the mode of sprinkling, or day wc.k last.

If Imi had looked ei ther at the construction ofthe sentence, or at tho original, he would have found that it was the sound, and not the spirit, that filled all the house. But he says, in the fourth verse, that they were filled with the Holy Glnsst, and that, therefore, the baptism ofthe Holy Ghost agrees with immersion, and not with sprinkling or pouring. Strong argument indeed ! I remark here, first, that a particular emblem of the com munication ofthe Spirit is pouring, and he can not get over it ; secondly, that the tilling ofthe disciples with the Holy Ghost was the effect and not the mode, and therefore, baa no con nection with the mode of baptism, w hich is not an effect, but an action; and, thirdly, that it doea not represent immersion, for that is a sur rounding, and covering over, of the body with water, and not a filling of it with water Mr. Hall's next remarks betray much ineon ntcney and ignorance w ith bigotry, as is the practice ot immersion.
