Reply , to, Layman.
,EDITOR.:r-Ir rad, Spirit and aim or,
the remarks of your corrogpondent
man," in relation to Ole proper acknowledg
ment ot exi4ence and ,provicleni3e of'
the Supreme 13 . eini, are highly contiderida
ble. Theii is, danger, however; that.in 1118 7 -
zeal
m for hat itself right and-good, lie
inq t i ring
" a railing accusation ;-" ;where it
ought not to, ire. Ido not think " the Tint!.
inters and learned"' Doetas of Divinity,"
who as. Stated Clerks prepare.att !publish
notices of the 'meetinkal' of , Presbyteries,
have failed, by omitting tn•insert formally
the D. V., " God willing," to "give God
the glory due untnhiS name." I will state
my reasons
1..1 think "Layman's " interpretation
of James iv; 15- " Ye ought to say,if
the Lord Will; we shall live and do this or
that"—ii 'entirely too' sweeping, too inclis
crimirilite.l'iThe apostle evidently refers to
a specialeasel'—." Ye rejoice in your boast
ings;rall such rejoicing is eviL" Surely
our " Stated Clerks" cannot, be suspected
of any such boastings." Besides, the ex
ample which' lTatnea rebukes, appears to
have been in intentional insult to the'God
of Providence, , and that of a very aggra
vated,sort,—"toe will go, to-day or to-mor
row into such a city, and continue thm a
year Sell and get gain." I ad
mit that'if the 'Stated Clerks of our Church
Courts should.pakposety and insolently Omit
all "recognition, whatever, of a Supreme
Being, h Layman says, then they would
fall under theLreproof of the APostle.
2. But , Whatr perfectly satisfies me that ,
" Laytirati has stretched the meaning of
the Apostle James, beyond Scriptural
is this: the other inspired writers do not
practice agreeably to his interpretaiion.
For ettample;;Paul says'to the Romans,
" Whensoever • I take my journey into
Spain,, I cone to you," chap. xi : 24.
According ,to Laythan,"' Paul , ought to
have'said': lii'the Lord come
unto you."
So again, verse 28— "When therefore I
have performed this *' * * I will come :by
you into, Spain." "Net evett a D.
God willing "'
Thus too in I. dor. xviA 12, "'As tinfoil : -
ing our brother Aptdlos * *'*` he Will
come when he shall have convenient time."
Paul delisAiot say D. V. Agaitt, Ileb.
23, "=Know ye' that our brother Timothy is
set at' 'liberty, with ii-hom, if he come
shortly, will Bed you." Here again, Paul
omits 'the D.' V" " makes . DO recognition of
a SuptbOae Being!" - ‘l'gratiethat,in a'few
other. passages of 'the same ;general sort,:he
expressly inset* "if ,the Lord will."
And soI trust, " do our'" ktated.Clerki " in
many other 'ciretimkstancea' of the same gen
eral oliiiracter.
3. It is 'obviciusi therefore, that= the text
15,' does' reqiiitichs to insert
44 if' the Lord will" = in all eireum-
Stances. The spirit that ,dietates such a re
cognition, I *cede is obligatory
but the merelform 'nifty 'often be omitted, if
Paul good' authority. As to ` the partic
ular example of "Presbyterial'notices,"
they strike me' as of the same general nature
with' u ttavid'e appointinents "I Will' 'go
into thytionse 'With burnt offerings **"*"l
will Offer'hulloake with 'koats." " Opeti'th
me thelates of .righteousneas; will go
into th6M` tint `praise the 'LOU' David
omits d'!'ie'D V., in these 9asee. -
4. If " Layman " is consistent,. he must
require 'life -pastor, , at each entieuncement
of afternbott. eirening meeting, to !say.: ,
"service this afternoon (or evetibig)t if the
Lord will." bees he " stick to his text"
after this manner"?' - AiiT'so" - iiheri - our

facts were i gieined,from 'the' Deports of a
