:TTERS TO A FRIEND ON THE DOCTRINES AND
DITTIES Of THE BIBLE.
'cd• XV.—Necessity of Regeneration.
•
it be born again.—JOHN rtr: 7.
DEAR FRIEND :—After so long.atime,
write. I have spoken 'of tho.neces•
regeneration, and given , you some
for it. I will now give you another
for this necessity : renewed by
you have nothing spiritually, good.
is the doctrine of total depravity.; not
you are as bad as you can be, but that
are destitute of holiness, and nntil,re
by the Spirit of God, you, have
g that is spiritually good,, no holiness
,rt or life. That you may have many
ie qualities is readily granted; so hive
of the animal creation. Who hrui not
of the generosity of the lion ? Who
not know the attachment of the dog to
, ter ? And who has not witneiied in
1, so beautifully referred to by our
: in his lamentation over Jerusalem,
g instances of care for her young ?
tt. xxiii : 37-39; Luke xix : 41-44.
what" courage will she protect her
! with what tenderness and affection
he gather her chickens under her
,ble qualities you may have, as have
the beasts (.f the field, and the
the air; but amiable qualities are
ul excellences, and they are still
removed :rota spiritual goodness.
may have moral excellences even,
Ls external acts are concerned, is not
; but moral acts are not spiritual
is ; they are not holiness, and that is
,u need—holiness--holiness of heart
Birds and animals have not reason,
cinet ; yet they perform many acts
look like the dictates of reason;
.e not rational acts ; they are only the
ions of that instinct which God has
them. So unrenewed men may per
bony acts which appear good in them
, and which, considered in themselves
part from the principle from which
erring. may be regarded as moral acts;
ire is no spiritual goodness about
no holiness—because they spring not
toly principle within them. Just as
,n of an animal is or can be the ac
a man, or a rational act, though it'
tear like the dictate of reason ; so n°
,1 an unrenewed man can be a holy,'
)ecause he has no principle of boll.
bin I.i m. This you may see beauti
id forcibly illustrated in Charnock'S
it work on regeneration, published
Presbyterian Board of Publication.
=ember that your nature, is depraved,
,ur heart is corrupt, and that all your
i ts, and words, and acts, and,all your
Its and feelings, spring from, arid are
_ by this depraved nature and tliis eor
heart ; and you can but see, and I trust
that notwithstanding all the amiable,
tics you may have; and all your moral.
Hermes, you still 'are destitute of spirit
odness—you are *holly destitute of
ss—you are flesh and pot spirit, carnal
nut spiritual.. And' as, to purify a
u, you must go to the, fountain, an d
tthe evil there,
so, that:your life may'
,utified with holiness,,your heart must
changed by grace. UntiL,renewed
I'B grace s there is and can be op spir
goodness about you. For out; of, the
'dance of the heart, the mouth,speaketh;
from the same abundance, tbe name
tain of evil, flows the whole current of
life; and like the fountain, all is-cor
. For from within out of the beaft of
, prodeed . thoughti, adulteries,for
tions, prirders, thefts, eoveionsness,
hOness, deceit, laieiviousness, an 'evil
blasphemy,ipride, foolishness : time
things come 'from witbin--tbe edrfupt
're—and dad . ° the man. Ye mi'o3t h 9;
again --John : 1-8; :
34--S7; and xv : 18-20 ; Mark vii :
21-23.
Besides, you have by nature no disposi
tion to seek after God. It is no more
contrary to the nature of water, to run up
hill, than for the wieked heart of man to
flow out after the holy Lord God of •Hosts.'
How often have you been urged to seek the
Lord, and yet as often you have refused ;
and in'this refusal you have but acted out
the native, bent and inclination, of your soul.
You have found in you no disposition to:seek
God , and serve him; =your natural inclina
tion is oPpoied to him, and his law, and'ser- •
vice';, and this shows the necessity of a new,
heart, of a disposition to seek after God, an
inclination to serve him:; and, hence, , you
must be born again.- 7 -ITolin iii: 7.
Not to enter upon metaphysieal questions,
it may suffice to say, that the Will is always '
as thagreatest apparent good; or, we choose
what we like best, or what agrees with. the
state of our hearts ; the strongest, motive in
the view of the mind' controls_ the will
And the state of the heart, or affections is a
part of a motive, or gives strength, effieiency,
and. success:to motives. The:astrongest mo
tive, in itself considere,d, maybe the very
weakest in the view of the mind,' owing to
the state of the affections and' the,' habits of
life. Hence,. whatever the motives in• them
selves, the will "is always determined by
the preceding state of mind." To the in
taniperate' man, what 'are the 'blessiogs of
sobriety in comparison With thegratification
afforded by a single glass of spirits, To the '
wicked, , what is the future possession of.
heaven to the present indulgence' of sin ?
Nothing. Holy motiv'es"Cmn haie little or
no influence :upon a 'corrupt heart. The
heart, must be, changed before 'the motives
of the Gospel can have.a controlling influ
ence. Ale,n will not; morally speaking, they '
cannot, choose that which ie : good,_and holy,
because ',their corrupt hearts control and en
slave their wills,:.; perverting or rendering„
powerless all the motives•whiehniay be pre
sented to them...-The •state of the mind—
of the heartand i affectiens = deterinifies the
will, Deuce, our confession of.e Paith
teaches correctly,,," 4an, by his fallinto a. ; ;
state' of 'sin, ;hath'Whelly i lost all ability of
will to any spiritual . golad accompanying'sal.',
cation; seas a natural man being altogether.
averse from that which is good and 'dead in'
sin, is not able, by his own strength, to con
vert himself, or to prepare hiniself there
unto."—Con. Faith, Chap. viii See: 3.
This witness is true. As a sinner, you have
no ability of will, and no inolinatioti - to deck:-
God, because your Will is controlled by your !:
corrupt -heart; and because of thie corrup
tiou of your' mature, you see in tigsiis ,Christ
no beauty that you should 'desire.him, no
loveliness that you, shell('• chnose him as
your Saviour and portien.:-Asa. liii: 1-3.
No; no ability of will ; you cannot choose.'l
that which' you hate; you cannot chonse and
delight in that, which is you! aversion;, and
hence'resits Christ said, No. man can come`
to me, except the' ither which hath sent Me
draw lim:--,Tohn vi: 44, 45: So you must I
be drawn. A moral
_agent, you'are free to
choose and act, and hence responsible
•,; but
you are a depraved moral
,agenti and hence
you choose and do' hat is evil. Your na
ture must`be changed, your 'heart renewed,
your will set free - from bondage to corrup
tion, before you can see`the beauty 'of holi
netis, and delight in God' and his service,
and choose him as your chief gOod. Earthly
considerations now control you, because your
mind' is earthly and carnal; sin and its
pleasures are your •delight ; these are what
influence yoUr choice, and control your will,
because they agree with your natural cor
ruptions, and accord with 'the state of yOur
heart; hence the-necessity of a change in
your heart, in the state of your soul, in your
disposition and affections—in your very na
ture--that you may Make the,things of God
your choice,.and delight in them, and ',come.
to Christ for life: Ye must be born again.--
John iii 1-10. '`
T M. B.
There' is here no excuse for your impen
iteney and unbelief. Your nature is your,
own; your wicked heart is your Own ;`,.your
sin is yoUr own. That'state of mired which
controls your will is your own; your will is
your own; and all the acts of your will are .
your own; and, you, are. responsible for them.
The will is not determined by,any Jaw of
necessity ; it is ,not independent, indifferent,
or self-determined; but is always determined
by, the preceding state of mind .. so that a
man is free, so' long as his volitions are the
conscious'expression of his own mind ; or
so long as his activity determined and
controlled by his reason and feelings'," or the
state .of his own mind.:."We are conscious
of liberty. We know ourselves to be free
in all our volitions. They reveal themselves
to our inmost consciousness as nets of Felf
determination. We cannot disown tlaem, or
escape responsibility on account, of them,
eionitwe try • and yet noman is conscious
Of ability,to ehauga his own heart. * * *
There are three things of which every man
is convinced, from the very constitution of
his nature: I. That be is a free agent.
2. That none but free agents can be ac
countable for their,
: character or conduct.
3. 'That he does not possess ability to change
his Moral state by
. an act of the will. * *
Free Agency is' thePoWer`to decide aceord
ing to brik'claaracter; ability is "the power to
change our character by a volition. The
former, •the Bible' and consciousness affirm,
belongs to man in every condition of his
being ;• the latter; thia ,Bible: and conscious
ness teach, with, equall,explieitness, does not
belong to follea-tnatt.!!.. Ile,cannot change
his own heart. This, is ilhe work of God's
Spirit. And yet ,if man, is a G free and re
sponsible agent,,because he is.author of his
own acts, and because heis determined to
act by nothing out'of - himself, but by his
own views, convictions, inclinations, feelings,.
and`dispositions,;so that hi' acts are the true
products'of` the man, and reilly'replesent or,
reveal what he is." They show, not that he,
is excusable for his conduct, but, that his
very nature is corrupt, and must. be changed
by Divine grace, before he can choose and
act right, or will and do, what:is well.pleas- :
ing to God. He is 'free and responsible;,
but he is a sinner, and wills and acts an
cordingly.
Hence, regeneration, which is .thus seen ,
to necessary, or effectual galling, which'
is the same thing, is declaie4' to- be the
work ot,Qpd spirit whereby convincing
our sin and 4ery, , enlightening

The Baptism by Philip. -
Ma. EDITOR :—I. have been, d i elighted

" L.. N..T.," an the `sdbje'et'itif - baptism.
By; reason: of in. unusual pressure -of en ;
gagements, I have, not been ,able-,to/read
them' all. There
, is one, point ,which, if
'treated of in the series, has escaped my no:
tice:* It might make a section 'under the
caption, t - '
SCRIPTURAL BAPTISIVI
Itnmersionists-d upo'n the - baptism of
-the Ethiopian eunuch-. :Notwithstanding
the conclusive areument of "L. N. 4D:" on
the Scripture record, let us, suppose, for a
moment, iti'aff "into the Water," means "un
der' the water." Then' the immersion is not
of: the subje.et • of baptism lOnly; but alai) of
the. person. who, administers the ordinance.
The evangelist is .very explicit . in his , state
ment, and repeats it that there Mightibe DO
mistake, `"Eind they went &we' bOth
,into
the Wathe,' both- Philip and - the,mitinch;"
just as .;certainly as 'one went under the
water, so Pertainly,did the. other; for "they
went qpimi:hoth,into',' 7 —,.".orTr_ehilip, and
the eitnueTt' If this was intmerston,. it
ins not' baptism . _for Of'this, their "both"
partook,` ohlY`the "eunitch was - wbap
tized." Thp evatgelist-immediately adds,
to ,this specific account the :deelaration,
"and he baptized him." 'What was that'
baptism ?: Certainly it was not the going
into the water; for then was Philip also
baptized, ''and'-our iminerbionisis may talk
no more of ".one- baptism." • If it. was
'?
" gomething else was not the iwemersion,
. ,
and the twoshould no longer he copfountled - .
Let no stickler for the Scriptural authority
of immersion, fail to adhere strictly to the
record. Let the minister immerse' hhiself,
with the candidate, and after - the immersion
is over let him adnainister the Scriptural
ordinance of baptis - m which- is manifestly
sorrcetTtxnyilse than immersiott. W.

Three years had now passed away tied no'

we relight see _.a ,different time., , .Some said
,we need not look for a constant reviVal.
Others still thought that in his own 'good time
Gocrwould . cOme by his Spirit, andbid Work'
would go on.
.But, as a pastor, I was going to the judg
ment.seati to meet my hearers. Had I done
all I ..could ? Was there nothing
,in my
manner; was there :nethitig`iit i .my heart,
that grieved . the • ;Spirit,?' I trembled to
answer'such questions:.

I took the "-Saint's' Rest " into mystudy,
determined to see if Baxter had any thing
appropriate to my case. I had . not:read:far
before a spirit , of fear and tretabling came
over me., What if. I shoUld lose heaven at,

,soleum
review. The ruin , of the damned, who lose
heaven and endure the 'torments of final_
despair, seemed a great and terrible, reality.
But the light of God's countenanee seemed
taken away from me. I felt undone. '
Sabbath' came I must preach. But I
could tbink of nothing init those teirible,
eemparisons,of Baxter about What the lost.

felt like a ruined sinner. She was afraid
there was no mercy for her. I told her,
her sins'were mueli - greater probably than
'she had any conception ' Of.
,'I visited; her
the second and the, third time. She had.
not a tear to shed. , She had taken sides'
with the law, justice, and judgment, against
'herself. She was in bitter anguish; , She
Ol
said e was lost,', that she could not pray,
that,nothing in the 'Bible gave her, the least'
hope. I saw her%again.- I found her sink

know if I thought there could be any hope:
,At' this, I betook 'myself te ;Calvary . . I
showed her, the Rook that . was ,o of I
showed •her ,the -boundless compassion of
Jesus. It was while talking with her of
the abounding mercy of 'Goa, that light
broke into myoten mind. MY own despair
gave way to, a flood of joy, I left her, And
sought a place to weep for joy. I beheld
the ever blessed Saviour.. "I ' felt 'the`
streams r of mercy flowing Vann froth his
e pierce side. ,
i But as soon as I left her she thought her
I last hope was taken away. She thought
that I despaired of• her conversion, and , for
this reason" had suddenly left 'her.' 'Then,
she went away alone: Her sins, Were liite
mountaibs. No friend, could .help , her.
She stood on the crumbling brink of woe.
It seemed to her that she deserved -eternal
despair.' It-was then that she dropped. on
her:knees; and cried in hitter groans. '. It
li4sed 'kli. Saviour now to show here his
compassion. '.She. wept: Tears fell in gush

deavoring with all'their ,might to work out
their 'bWii , :ailVation, they have found God
- working in-them= both to will and to do—
while keeping their' bodies by fasting, and
presenting theikprayers to God, they have
lOurid_his Holy Spirit moving upon their
souls, pleating their Views, confirming their
faith, 'fixing their 'thoughts, inclining their
will, enlarging their hearts, and overspread
ring =them with 'such a sense of his majesty
and , meTcy as neither 'nor they are able to
expeati.
While praising God they have been
