HYMNS OP FAITH AND Rom:, By ildratitld BMW,

We profess to be some what difficult to please
in the matter of sacred poetry. We think that if,
fully three-fourths of that which has been given
to the world as hymns and religious poetry, were
consigned to oblivion, the world would be just as
well off as at present. The volume before us,
however, is not of this character. Dr. Boner is
characterized by deep and powerfulfeeling. His
sermons are always addressed to the emotional
part of our nature, as well as calculated to satis
fy our intellectual powers. For several years
past he has occupied his leisure moments, by com
mitting to paper short pieces in verse, and they
are now collected out of the magazines and other
papers in. which they had appeared, and in this
goodly, form and dress, presented to the public.
They axe all good, and many of them will be ac
knowledged to possess unusual merits as fugitive
pieees of sacred poetry.

We do not remember to have read a more de
lightful htiok than this. It is a reprint of a small
volume Which gas had a great circulation in Eng
land ; and if our readers could but hearken to a
few pages of it, there would be no doubt about
the certainty, of an extensive demand for it in
this country. The narrative details the incidents
connected with a Railroaddisaster in England, in
which two children of the writer lost their lives ;
and the object.of the bereaved parent in address
ing the other members of her family in India, is
to imprcve the melancholy circumstances con
nected with that event, by the sweet oharacter
of those that were suddenly snatched away, and
the religious life -of other members:] of the
household. We have never, seen more tenderness
of spirit, fervor of affection, gentieness under
the rod, beauty of holiness, and power of 'a
HT.
ing, realizing faith, than the pageS of this sweet
little volume display. It is needless to add that
we greatly desire the influence of this book to be
widely spread abroad.

This, is an excellent little. volume, especially
for juvenile readers. The author had ample *op
portmaity of becaming intimately acquainted with
the scenes which he describes, and he has writ
ten with an evident desire:to Mike a useful rather
thin a smart or flashy book The islands which
he describes, are Madagascar, Java, Iceland,
Ceylon, and New Zealand, and thus the young
reader is carried through the frozen scenes of the
North, the luxuriant regions of the Tropics, and
the genial breezes , !zf .the Southern temperate
zone. The 'history of these islands, the habits,
religion, social condition, and peculiarities of the
inhabitants, are described, and the results of
missionary labors are stated in a clear and satis
factory manner, and thus a capital book is pro
duced, which may .be useful to the aged as well

If the mere reading of the title of this book
will not show its importance in the present day,
and is a country like this, which sustains so
many, important relations to Germany, we deapair,
of succeeding by any effort in a few sentences; to
do justice to its great worth:and , real merits.
What large numbers of our ministers, licentiates,
and students, as well as of the reading portion of
the community, are accustomed to hear the names
of the great men of Germany mentioned in dis
courses, and retorted to in the literature of the
day, and yet, their knowledge of these men is of
an indistinct and hazy character. And so also of
the Universities of the country;' their character
and history; the number of their professors, and
thothoulties which -they rcontain, together with
their courses of study.', In one word, this is a
valuable band-book, just the hand-book which we
have long felt to be needful to give our people
„
anything`like an adequate, idea of tbe education,
theologY, and'great men of the Church in Ger
many. While we recognize the extraordinary
value of this book„wm do not indorse all its sitate-
Mutts. Perhaps
,some difficulties might be re
moved by a few words of explanation. Thus in
describing the, oharacter.of,olshausen, the author
says he was I " no believer in a literal mechanical
inspiration, es taught by, the Protestant Divines
of the seventeenth century; - and as held to tbis
by
day most of the popular 'English 'iomnienta-
tore ;" and be then proceeds to say, that "the
Holy Scriptures are strictly Divine and strictly
human, from beginning to end. The two natures
are here united in one organic whole. The Holy
Spirit lived, thought, moved in and spoke through,
the prophets and apostles, bat as conscious,
is -
telligent free agents, not as 'blind and passive
machines." hist so. And this being the case,
we should like to know if this language does not
imply a verbal inspiration, as certainly as the
writers of the Scriptures employed words to ex
press their ideas; a verbal inspiration as minute
and particular as ever was contended for by any
English, Scotch or American author. In one
sense the words used were the words of man, and
in another sense these same words were the words
of the Holy Ghost. Our object, however, is not
to write an essay on Inspiration, but to guard
against homologating—as they say in. Scotland—
any Germanism which may be found in this really
valuable book.

On, the subject of Temperance, the following
resolution was adopted, viz
WHER,EAS, The repeal of the restrictive license
law by the Legislature in 1856, has greatly in
creased the facilities for the sale and use of in
toxicating drinks, as a beverage ; and retailers
thus encouraged, pay but little regard to the re
strictions respecting RS sale on the Sabbath; and
on other days t();,minors, individuals ; of intern-'
perate habits, or others at the time under, the in
flitence,of intoxicating drinks andlvlterepa, it is
!manfully evident that intaniperance is rapidly
gaining ground ; therefore,
Resolved, That Presbytery are of opinion that
it is expedient and desirable for its members, in
addition to preaching on the 'subject to their
respective charges, to endeavor, to secure the ,co
operation of the different denominations of the
Church. of Christ in a general niolement ler re
formation bypledged abstinenee, as the temperance
reform began at first. In view of the legislation
upon this subject, Our only hope'is in a return to
the good,old paths Which conducted the cause of
temperance to that proud Insition which elicited
and deserved the admiration of the moral world.

While Presbytery appreciate the duty, and re
joice i;ti the promptness with which our Church
hail 'furnished 'ample i fitealities to Candidates for

also believe that there is a tendency, in the pres

Church (of men and means,) in Theological Semi
naries, than is consistent with the. best interests
of the Redeemer's kingdom; and that this ten
dency, unless checked by the conservative in

It is also believed that for a limited number of

For the Prisbyterian Banner7and Advocate
Letter from the Creeks--Disouseion on
Baptiim, &e.
TALLAHASSEE, March 26, 1857
DEAR BROTHER is not often that the
Christian world is astounded with' the intel
ligence, that Christian missionaries,,on_raii
sionary ground, have turned aside to try
their weapons upon each other; yet the like
has happened to us. A debate of four days'
continuance was lately held between Rev.
R. M. Loughridge, of the ,Presbyterian
'Board, and Rev. H. F. Buckner, cof :the
Southern Baptist Board. Although per
fectly satisfied with the results, yet knowing
that many Christians regard such things un
favorably, we should not have sounded :a
trumpet on the occasion, had not our op
ponents set us the example. But having
. seen notices of the affair from them in no
less than four different. Baptist publications,
some of which we consider, anything, else
but fair and impartial, it may perhaps in
terest your readers to hear irom an eye
witness, our'side of 'the story.
The first of these notices is a letter, of
Rev. H. F. Buckner's, dated Oct lst, 1856,
published in the Home and Foreign Record,
of December, 1856; in which, after a notice
of the Muskokee camp-meeting, just clued,
'he, says : * * * "'Two Sundays ago,
there was a simUltaneous attack made on
Baptist views, by the Pedobaptist mission
aries all over this nation. Rev. Mr. Ruble,
of the Methodist mission, preached two
hours at North Fork, and proved to the Sat
isfaction of all his Methodist hearera, that
we are the lineal descendants of the :''Mad,
Men of Munster.' Rev. Mr. Loughridge
preached long and loud at Choseca, proiing
to the Presbyterians that the Ba.ptists are a
narrow,minded, bigoted, ignorant, proscrip
tive sect; while he was the .vox clamantis
in desert°, sent to put spittle and clay on
Baptist's eyes."
As regards the movements of ' brother
Ruble, I know nothing, except that they
were entirely 'without our knowledge. As
to brother Loughridge, however, I remark,
Ist. The statenient is UTTERLY rALs.E.
The time referred to was our annual
camp-meeting;`and I can prove by any
reasonable number of respectable witnesses, :
'both, natives , and missionaries that neither:
=MEE
on So bath, nor at any other time during
the In .ting, was there a sermon preached on
impels t, either by brother L., or any one
else. t the opening of a service, brother
L. did ake a few general remarks on the
.t )
subject; bearing principally on certain false
reports, and ending with an expression of
willingneis to discuss the matter publicly ;
but no' tel was taken; no proposition laid
down`; i proof attempted; and the whole
did not o cupy more than fifteen minutes.
2d. M . B. was duly informed of this
1 .
before h letter was written. Brother L.
having, learned that a report was circulating
to the effect that he had preached on bap
tism at Ohoseca, saw Mr. B. AT the Mus
kokee camp-meeting, (Sept., about the 25th,)
and perkonally informed him that the report
was faJ* And yet, in the,face of all this,
he makes the foregoing assertions. He
fartheriwrites: . •
‘, When I arrived at Muskokee, our brethren
urged me to defend our peculiar views. In com
pliance with•this request, I preached on Sabbath,
without ran: interpreter, from Acts xxviii : 22,
which.swas . the >second sermon of:the kind I bad
presehed in eight years. There;were three redo.
baptist missionaries present; and at the close of
my sernrn, Rev. Mr., Loughridge arose,' and
asked r leave to reply. This I refused, as' I was
an -441114'w change a revival into a debate, and
as my sermon was a'' defense, and not an attack.'
He arose three tinies for the same purpose. On
Monday,d received a formal challenge in writing,
to discuss. with , him the subjects and mode of
Christian baptism. I sent him a, letter of accept
ance ,the next day. * * * This discussion
has been; forced upon us. We could not avoid it
without, proving recreant to our trust. * * *
, __ _ ..
this,.l remark : The discussion was
certainly forced upon . them ; • but they forced
it upon ,thenzselves. That this might have
beet -:the case, is evident. Certainly there
is no good reason why a man may not, - in
jUstice to himself and the cause he' advo
cates, 'is well be forced into challenging as
into accepting a challenge.
That it probabiy wasthe case, will appear
from the acconnt,given of Mr, B, by him
self and friends. Of himself, he says, " I
am like. General 'Jackson about fighting
- duffels; I never send a challenge, and never
refuse one." On the other hand, his
friends tell us, (and his appearance in debate
leavedno room to doubt' it,) that he has
already been engaged in two or three similar
discussions previous to this. Now, ,if
these two things be true, we are driven to
this conclusion ,either Mr. B. has been
most •iinprecedentedly persecuted by his
brethren of other denominations, or he has
a' rare facility of gAtting himself challenged,
which in all probability, he has exercised
•on this occasion.
That it certainly was the case, will appear,
.First. From the,uncburching, proselyting
spirit manifested toward US by our. Baptist
friends. Mr. 8., himself, in his 'sermon at
Muskokee, boldly claimed for the Baptist
Church a direct .descent from the Apostolic
Churches, through the Waldenses; and
roundly asserted that the Presbyterian, and
all' other Churches, came ,out from tile
Church of Rome. On another occasion, be
was heard publiely.to declare, in substance,
that he considered all unimmersed Christians
simply as young converts, who had not yet
united with. the visible Church of Christ ,
and this, too,, among a people just emerging
from barbarism;_ unable. to read the Bible
for themselves; for the most part ignorant
of the English language; and .hence en
tirely dependent on their religious teachers
for all• , the truth they receive. The result
of such teaching is just what might' be ex
pected=a spirit of, proselytism, almost un
paralleled. , Less than a year ago I at
tended a Communion season of the Pres
byterian church. in this Nation, where
there Was present - a Baptist member, who
then and, ,there, in the very midst of our
Meetings, wai using his influence to draw of
our members.' 'And immediately at the
close of Mr. B.'s Muskokee sermon, no less
a person than ,-elder Jacoli Hawkins un
blushingly. attempted to
,proselyte an elder
of the Presbyterian Church. And these
are not:remarkable cases, but only specimens.
And Presbyterians 'in this nation unwilling
.
to place themselves on a level with their op
ponents, by resorting to the same measures,
and hitherto equally unwilling to take the
only alternative, a public discussion, lave
patiently borne with this state of affairs for
years.
Second.' It appears from the circum
stances immediately attending the sending
of• the 'challenge, Mr. B. forgot to inform his
correspondent that brother L. received,
through a respectable (colored) Baptist
member, an especial invitation to attend the
Muskokee camp-meeting, and particularly
to.beAere on the Sabbath, the day when
'the sermon was preached; and that, too
film nitless a 'person than elder. Jacob
Hawkins, the pastor of the church. Yet
eumhpisathe.tact in :the case:- -The sermon
was what we deemed a most unwarrantable
attack , upon Pedobaptists generally, and
Presbytaians in particular. Brother L.
was distinctly pointed out in the congrega
'don. Mr. 8., in making a quotation from
-Turret* read the Latin, saying as he did
so, do •this for the especial benefit of my
learned Men& . civEn THERE "—poi n ting,
at the same, tinie,,to the plaiie where brother
L. sat, in bonipitby with one . of his . eldere.
Under precisely these circumstances it. was,
that brother L. arose and asked lease to re
ply. This Mr. B. refused, adding in sub
stance; that if brother L. wanted a public
dis': mission, he, could be accommodated on
sending a written:challenge, and even desig
nating the Baptist brother• with whom such
challenge could be left. Nov, to what con
elnivion.are we driven? Is it not this : that
our. *ptist friends, after unchurching an d
proselyting , us for years, finally capped the
climax by inviting us out to their meetings,
to be tied, gagged, mauled, and publicly in
sulted, and then oddly told us to challenge
them ij are not satisfied ; and if so, I
ask, did we, force the discussion upon them,
or did
.they force it upon themselves. I
submit , the ease to the judgment of an im
partial public; and stand ready to abide the
consequences.'
As, to the results of the discussion, I have
now a word to say. Our opponents, as
usual, claim a victory. Mr. 8., in a letter
dated December' 3d, 1856, published in The
South-Western Baptist, of January 15th,
1857, says.: "The discussion on baptism
between Rev. R.• M. Loughridge and my
self; closed last Friday; and I think I can
Bay veni , vidi,'vici." In this he has told
the irtith twice out of three times. That he
came, there is no question; that be also
sAvv, is equally true; but that he conquered,
we deny. Let me give you what I consider
about a fair average, specimen of the ar
guing.' In respect to John the Baptist, it
was, trgeji that it was utterly impossible for
one, man to immerse so many as must have
, come to tie baptism, in so short a time. To
this Mr. B. Fe t plied, .Ist. By taking for
Pa,PtSd,the„qtregitibilanilebate, and saying,
.in, PAlDetanCe, diet the Bible says they were
baptized, (i. e., immersed ' ) and therefore
they must have• been• baptized (i. e., im
mersed,') anyhow. 2d. By asserting that he
could liaptize,by immersion, as many in a

unworthy of notice by our side, and per
haps on this grounds it is that he claims
the TIM But with how much justice /
whatever may have been the character of
the rest of the discussion, judge ye.
Perhaps stronger proof than this, how
ever, is found in the freely'expressed
opinions of those who heard the discussion.
These, aside from the members of the two
churches, were merchants and traders, settled
in the Nation, and some of the most en
lightened of the Creeks themselves; men
generally of more than average intelligence;
but of no Church or religion, in one sense of
the term, and hence as free from prejudice
as could reasonably be expected of fallen
human nature; yet, universally, as far as
we can learn, they freely admit that not only
victory, but truth is with us. If then,
there is a vici , in the case, to whom does it
rightfully belong? Yours, in Christ,
