It is the great subject treated of in 'the Gospel, itself a message from Ilearen of salvation to a lost and -ruined race through the sufferings and death of the Son of God. The Bible is neer - and free to ; the Sancta ary has room and to spare; yet how oft the Bible lies unopened I The Sabbath bell is unheeded, and the masses around Tut are being hurried along the stream, of tune to 04) shoreleso ocean of eternity,. The Bible teaches' that our fallen na- ture opposeethe seeking after the truth as there in taught, and commands the followers of .Christ, after-the Master's example, to seek the Wander ing and tell them . that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, to use every , evangelical means to rouse them to consider their immortal nature, and- the value of the- soul, so priceless that the Redeemer has said, " What shall a man give in exchange for his soul. r. Obeying this contmand, this &tastyputs forth its humble instrumentality, and disseminates es sential Bible truth, accompanied by personal ef fort, conversation and prayer. The visitor inter ests herself-in the families of the poor and care less ; endeavors to lead them to hear the preached Gospel; to read the Bible; and makes a special effort to have the children attend Public and Sab bath Schools. .

Again, it • is • largely in debt,. and we ask every one,who reads this ite- • port'if it .is not a duty •and privilege to -sustain it, when' the, object is the salvation of the soul; and the individual gratuitoue effort , so great. Why is it the small sum of-two hundred dollars cannot be raised in this, city for this Society ? " Shall those whom God has blessed with world ly goods withhold their hands from giving:Still thereby virtually withhold the light 'of truth , from those who• are ignorant and out of the way ? .Shell Christians, who' by their profession knowledge their love of ; God and of their neigh? bor, stand still and see their fellow heings going down= o eternal ruin, whom . by the giving of a paltry sum they tnicht haVe saved? God forbid ; and may:he constrain them by his Spirit to come to the help of this Society." Tract distributing has always been considered en humble service ; it is the going out into the byways 'and lanes of the city, ; the Iris' iting of the garrets and cellars of the poor and thoughtless, and pointing them to. the 4 , Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world." •.

The report of the Creek Presbytery, in reference to the-discussion on baptism, be tween the Rev. H. F. Buckner and myself, seems to• trouble him exceedingly. I find an article from ,his pen in two old papers, (Tennessee Baptist, Sept. 26, and Missis sippi Baptist, August 200 which I am glad to mei:because it is a faithful exponent of the man, and of his labors among the Indians. He profane much astonishment that we did not sooner declare our victory. True, we might have done so ; but we did not consider a " complete victory" over Mr. Buckner, of se much moment, as to de mand its ,proclamation to the world. It was enough that, the great object of the debate was accomplished, Mr. B's false doctrines were exposed and refuted, our enemies being judges. All, I believe, who attended that debate, with the exception. of a part of the Baptists,' agree with the Committee in awarding me a " complete victory." It is amusing to see how Mr. B. tries to set aside the testimony of this Committee. One was not there, another acts sometimes as my interpreter, and the other, forsooth, has taught, school in an Indian village. Just about' as , conclusive as many of the 'gentleman's arguments in the debate. Al though Rev. J.. R. Ramsey was not present at, the debate, yet having the testimony of manrcredible witnesses r ho were present, he was competent to declare the fact. The other two, although one was so intelligent as to he able to interpret, and the other so learned'aa to teach school successfully, yet as men of truth and Piety and as worthy and, well qualified Christian ministers, they were. surely competent witnesses; both being present during the whole of the discussion. Mr: Buckner's ridicule of the Rev. Wm. H. Templeton, for having been a school teacher, is in perfect keeping with the ,man. He is welcome to all the advantages of his abuse of this good and laborious missionary brother. It will do good in showing the Christian public the character of my , oppo nent, and of his labors among the Creeks. The published testimony of . Rev f H. A. Wentz, declaring the victory in the debate, on our side, is also passed by, I suppose, as, invalid, by the gentleman, because he, too, was a school-teacher, What Mr. B. means by ealling . Mr. Tem pleton, " Mr. Ws serving-ican in the de bate," I am at a loss to determine, unless he wished to give the impression that he rendered-me great _assistance in the debate, which would be positively not correct. That' "complete'' victory," I contend, I gained singly and alone. • ot t one .occasion,:however, when„.l_ had proiied that the Apostle Paul was baptized 'standing up, and.henee by affnaion, and Mr. B. had resorted to his usual course of twist ing and turning to evade the force of the' argunient, Mr. Templeton referred to his 'perVersien_ of the G,reekverb, expressing that action—the. only. Seririce..rendered me by any one during the debate. Mr. B would do well to enumerate, hie own serving.men in the 'debate-the Rev. Mr. Land, a white man, Rev. D. N. M'ln tosh, Rev. Jas. Perryman, and Rev. Jacob Hawkins, all ordained Baptist preachers, and Mr. Goliah llerrod, his " armor bearer," who was always on hand to do his bidding. Again, Mr. B. charges. us with great ig 7 norance ; he says : '" So ignorant are they, that one of them told Rev. D. N. M'lntosit that he did not know Whether baptize was a noun or an adjective; 'but he believed it was an adjective." Mr. M'lntosh informed me that . Rev. D. W. Eakins is here meant ; but added, "I do not know why he said so;: I haie no doubt but he knew better." Bro. Eakins May have made the remark in jest; to 'show his -disapprobation of their practice of perpetually harping about dip: ping., He is a graduate of a' college of high standing:in the States, and all who know him will have no doubt bat he knew better. Again, he says : " They wished to have the discussion interpreted„,that they might hide their ignorance in a fog." The utter fallazy and pidPable 'absurdity of this re mark, renders comment unnecessary. He only lugs it in to cover his own retreat ; and; if possible, to escape the odium which 'so justly rests , upon for maintaining the absurd .and unscriptmal position, that, the debate should,lot be interpreted. The; Indians were , greatly astonished mitten this decision„ and many of them Madethe remark, ”It must be, he is afraid to have us know the whole truth ;" " He wishes to • keel) go in the 'dark," &o. Like the Romieh,priests whopreach to the people in an unknown tongue, so Jae utterly refused to have the discussion interpreted, the usual mode. of addressing .the' people. Bat he says, . ' every one who attended the debate could understand English, and there was DO need of an interpreter. A miserable subterfuge this, truly 1. It.does not folio* 'that there was no need ,of au interpreter, because the fesi who attended the debate understood English. For ifieke before the dismal:4On ioek place, it was • known to the people that Mr. Buckner's gag law of no in terpreter, 'was tube enforced, And 'hence the multitudes of Indians, who wanted to hear, were choked off—of course they would not at tend. Poor maul he first determines that the iliscussuin shall not be interpreted- 7 that the Indians shall not hear if they come; then, because they did not come, he protilairns in terpretation unnecessary. But for Mr. Ws gag of no interpretation, instead of a malt congregation' of from fifty to one hundredi as it was, there would doubtless have been thousands present. They wanted to bear-; but he was afraid that the false and , unseriptural dogmas, which he and his ignorant co•laborera-Jrad taught them, would be exposed and refuted. But his cunning will not, avail him—the spell is broken. Truth is mighty,. and will again "Another such DR. victory, and Pedobaptism would be twice dead in this nation." But who meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so." He knows better. If he had applied the re mark to his own Church, there would have been some truth in it. The uniform testi mony of Methodists and Presbyterians is, that the discussion has done them much good. Before it, they were assaulted and persecuted on all occasions; but since, they have peace, and are respected. The haugh ty tone Of exclusiveneas of the Baptists, has been wanderfillj , lowered; and I am in formed, by good authority, that several prominent Baptists have gone over to the Methodists. The Presbyterian churches are in a flourishing condition, and since the de bate, have been increased in numbers in an unusual degree. My own church, during the six months immediately succeeding the debate, was increased by fifteen members— fourteen on examination, and one by certifi cate. The case of one of those received on examination illustrates the result of• the dis suasion on the piople. She is an interest ingand intelligent young Creek woman, who, before the debate, was entirely in favor: of the Baptists. She said, " I am , going to join whichever side beats, hut I hope. Mr* Buckner will beat Mr. Loughridge." she attended the debate, was convinced that truth ::was with the Presbyterians, and ac cordingly joined them. 1 could, giye much additional testimony, of the opinions volun tarily expressed by those who were present at the dehate, corroborating what has already been given,' but, it is unnecessary. Mr. B. may succeed in blinding the Minds of some in the States, by ,his continual scribbling and unfounded assertions, but cer tain it is that he can never change the re sults of, that debate, among this people. All, I believe, to a man, who heard the discus sion, with the exception of only a part of the Baptists, agree with the committee in as cribing to us A. COMPLETE VICTORY. R. M. LOuGiluiDGE.

He arrived in America on the 27th day of May, 1849, and spent some time as a missionary in Schuylkill County, Pa. In February, 1850; he was invited by 'the congregations of New Berlin, Mifilinburg,- and II artleton, to serve them as a stated sup ply, which he continued* to do till April, 1853, when he received and accepted unan imous ,Pastriral .from the congregations of LittleAughWick, and Upper ,Tuscarora.

His health con tinued' to decline till the 18th of ,March, when' he fell asleep in Jesus. 'During his protracted sickness, , he manifested 'a largii measure of the Spirit ofChrist. He de clared that he felt it good for him to be af flicted; that his teith in Christ sustained him; `that he had no worldly ; anxieties; was, con tent with his condition; had no uneasiness about the result of his sickness; arid that he found great pleasnre in prayer, and in relying on the promises of God and in the prospect of being in the immediate presence of his Saviour. His reason remained unim paired to the last. He- remarked that for, him, death' had no sting. On the 1 8th, , he, with a feeble voice, whispered, "Lord Jesus into thy hands I'conimend my spirit," and then in a little time fell asleep.

My pious mother taught me•the right way ; mould that r had heeded her . counsel have abused my reason.. I have eported with sacred things. I have no, faith in Universalism; none at all. It is not in the , Bible.. It is a delusion.'." Much More he . • said to the same effect. ilia mind was active and sane. But,' said my informant, never did I witness greater solemnity and earnestness. At his request, prayed with him. He wept like a child. Commending him to.the mercy of God, Mr: T. left him. The next day lie called on him again; on his,return home, offered prayer, then parted from him, to see Min no more till the geed day. W. I'. V.' 4C't For; the Ptvebytetist . Beene; and Advocate Beisort of Doniphan County Bible Society, Kansas Territory. There is something like an instructive `pensive' experienced Sby. all Christians, -as they hear, from time to time, of the. onward course of the 'Cause , of God, in any or in All lands,' s and' from any department of this heaven-tending work. , With this delightful s truth ,before me, I take pleasure in attempting a ,diacharge of an accepted duty imposed on; me by the Doniphan enmity , Bible Society, to send, for publication, a brief report of the doings , of this. Society for the year 1857. .Let it be borne in mind ;that this is a report of a Bible Society in, Kansas, and not in a country well improved for more than - one generation. It appears ;that this Society has raised in , money, during the year, $470.90, and dis tributed three:; hundred And twenty-one . Bibles and Testaments, and donated forty nine. And it, would lave, distributed more, had Bibles been on *hand.' - The - aged and venerable Mr. Irvin, father of Rev. S. M. Irvin, was a faithful and efficient agent in spreading Abroad the heavenly pages of the book of life. Mr. Irwin is, perhapsOhe oldest perioa in Kansas, being over , aiventy years of age. If any thing human 'can show forth the beauty of holiness, or the strength of faith, it is to see Kush. a one, with one foot in the grave, .wending his way across these never ending prairies, with the. book of God as'his benediction to the chil dren of men, ere he passed away from the battle field to the peaceful reward which he loved. And still, like his Divine Master, in self denial, he loves and labors and. when he can say, with his adored L ord, ."rt is. .finished," . he will cease- his sanctified .toil. A student from Gambier College,. a ,Mr. Holden, an Episcopal youth preparing for the ministry, also rendered good service. Here we would bear testimony _that the, Society will gladly weleome such laborers as . Mr. II and rejoice in the proipect of , such laborers in the vineyard of our blessed Isord.t It is nothing but justice, to , all concerned, and, to the love and grace of God, vouch safed to , an infant church "to state that more tlian #1250, of this amount nollected,' were from the church and congregation of High, , land, and that in addition to 4125, contrib uted dirring the same time, to the Boards of our Church, and this` in addition to support ing the, regular preaching' of the Gospel among theinselvea, without aid from the Board of Domestics Missions, ands all this without one really rich person. It appears there were ten. persons who. paid $5 each; over twenty who paid between $2 and $2.50 each, and , two who paid each In•our day of excitement -and ; mammon worship, and in this, almost the very law part of our earth which is.tole peopled and cul tivated for the first tinte, this is a very pleasant and hopeful little light, which trod has, in mercy, ushered upon these mighty plains to,bght and cheer tbh weary, and fully to arm for the only sanctified fight of earth. And this work appears more in its heavenly grandeur, when we reflect that there can , be no spiritual light, no faith, nor tope, inde pendent of the pure Word of God. By-order of Are Society, J. ' - f#:.'Optg, WHEN Mr; Whitfield was preaching in New England, a lady became tke,subject of Divine grace, and her spirit iTaB peculiarly drawn out , in' prayer for *them. , She could persuade' no one to pray with her but her little daughter, about ten years of age. Af. ter a time it pleased God to touch the heart of the child, and give her hope of salvation. In a transport of holy joy she then ex claimed ." 0, mother, if , all the world knew this I I wish I could tell everybody.. Pray, mother, let me run to some of the Leighbors and - tell them, that they' may be happy and love my Saviour." - ti Ah, my child," 'said the mother, " that would be useless, for I suppose that were you to .tell your experieaee, there is not one within many:miles who would not laugh , at you; and - say it was all a delusion." "0, mother," replied the little 'girl ; " I think they would believe me. I must go over to the shoemaker and tell him. ; he .will believe me?' She ran over, and found him at work in his shop. She began by telling him that he must die, and he was , a sinner, and'that she was a sinner, hut that her blessed; Saviour had heard her mother's prayers, and had for giVeii all her sins-, and that now she was so happy she. did not know how 4.c) tell it ~ , ',The.shoeninker was struck. With surpriii,, and tears flowed ;down—like- rain threw aside his work, and by prayer and supplication sought; mercy. The neighbor hood was awakened, and within a few months, more than fifty persons were brought to the knowledge of Jesus, and rejoiced in the power of his grace. ADVERTISEMENTS.
