A CURISTIAN VIRTUE TAUGHT BY A PAGAN PA: The Interiur. » Horace, in his shrewd analysis of the lan- wan heart, tirmly wid consistently enforces upon the attention of his friends their need of Lecoming reconciled with their lot. He constantly recurs to this theme. It is the keynote of an extended system of morals which elevated him to arank but a few de- xrees removed from that of a Christian philosopher. - We forgive the taults and pity the spiritual blight of a poet whose heart and temper shed a inellow and sympathetic glow upon the minds of his contemporat as we judge him by the standards of the age. If he could have fived Iater.and come under | the intluence of St. Paul, his life might have been very useful, in ail that. pertains to a Christian's usefulness. Buta pagan is not wholly without useful- | ness. The doctrine of contentment, as taught by Horace, should not be despised because he did not preach from a pulpit, and was without the light of a Gospel, whieh in- deed had not been written, A ce precept, though it loses something of fis force, loses nothing of its virtte ant value when. conceived by the mind of aw pagan philosopher. Were Confucius, dato, and Mareus Aurelius alive, would we not love to sit at their feet and listen to their, Sims?

EARLY CHICAGO. THE REV. ALLEN BR. FREEMAN, THE FIRST BAPTIST PREACHER. The Standard. Some time ago [ noticed a eall from Mr. Joh» Wentworth for information in regard jo the Rev. Allen B. Freeman, the first Bap- tist minister who settled and preached in Chicago. After diligent ‘inquiry I have obtained some facts that may be of interest to the Bap- list denomination, us well as in a measure be of service to Mr. Wentworth in Nis laudable purpose of preserving som® memorial of thuse who were willing to give their lives to the establishment of a pure Gospel chureh in those early days. Thave in my po: in th ebration, enport, J ion a letter written by Hannah C.

Saporvs, il, Aug. 4, 1881. “BAPTIZO.” WHY THE WORD WAS NOT TRANSLATED. A contributor to a religious paper says: A friend has directed my attention to an article in your paper dated June 9 concern- ing the transfer of the Greek word “ bap- tizo” wul itscognate terins by the translators the Vulgate, instead of transiting the id word and terms by the Latin word *im- 207" and ils cognate terms. Now in my opinion there gan be na doubt in the minds of persons suniciently conversant with those Janguages to judge that in the Greek language the Greek word “baptize” and its. cognate Just his horse on the wa terms, and in the Latin language. the Latin word “immergo” and its cognate j term ein their primary sense precisely | equivalent in signification. But what w { wanted was a werd that, beside the\idea of immersion, should ‘also be understood to connote an immersion performed as a te- Ugious rite, in pursuance of the command of the Lord Jesus, the Christ, upon. the profes- sion of faith in Him, in distinction from an ordinary immersion that had no such refe! ence. ‘he Latin translators chose for thi , and tor this rexson, the Greek word »; and some of the earlier English aturs the same word, with an En- termination, and transferred and glish introduced the -said_ word into the Latin and English Janguages as a new word, giving it the necessary connotation inentioned. ‘Che translators of the King James version followed the example of the said English translators in transterring the word, but not for the same purpose and reason, nor with the said necessary connotation exactly. ‘This procedure was in ali the three cases, in iny opinion, Very appropriate. So ure ward “baptize? is by the modern Greeks re- stricted to the signification of immersion as @ religious rite (for the modern. Greeks Practice immersion); and other words are used to denote immersion without such ref- erene ‘ i Duptisis who have lacked into this matter do not, in general, want the word translated, for this reason, that it is convenient to have wspecific and distinctive term to denote an. immersion performed as a religious rite. The vhrases, “Ego quidem vos baptizo in aqua,” and “Ezo quidem vos _immergo in nqua,” both signify, “Lindeed immerse you in water,” but with the important distinction that in the former phrase the additional idea is connoted that Limmerse you in water in pursuance ef the command of the Lord Je- Sus upon profession of your faith in Him. There is no “significance” nor “con- clusiveness,” therefore, in the fact, men tioned by your correspondent, of tha non: translation by the tr: ators of the Vulgate of the Greek word “ baptize” and its cognate termns by the Latin word “ immergo” and its coxnate terins, in reference to “the mode of adininistering ‘the rite of baptisin,” exeept that baptism cannot be sprinkling, Dut must be immersion; since that is the signification of the word employed by the t the Vulzateas it was use ¥ \ ed by ue an and is used by the modern, Greeks, A TROUBLED CIIURCH. BISHOP LoL OF HONY The Roman Cathotie Church of St, Antho- ny’s, Greenpoint (Brooklyn E. D.), is in a state of turmoil. The edifice is owned by the Society of which the Bishop, Viear-General, pastor, and two Jaymen are ‘Trusie aA heavy mortgage was put on to it in addition to the mount contributed by the members, and since it was built an extensive series of collections of money have been carried on to pay forit. It is alleged by some of the mem- bers that enough.money has been raised to clear off the debt several times. Recently Bishop Loughlin wished to put an additional mortgage of $25,000 on the chureh, and the ehureh rebelled. Application made to. him for a financial statement, but he refused BROOKLY! to make this, and then application was made to Cardinal MeCloskey to act in the matter, 1@ declin to interfere, as the questien. at ue was one of statute ‘hw. ‘The members of the ehureh then took legal advice, and it was ascer- tained that the ‘Trustees of the corporation were required to make a tinancial statement in the Supreme Court every three y jy anid had failed to do this. ‘Then the fegal pro- edinzs to compel this were begun, On unday f: astor, Mather Murph, ict in the serv! hop Loughlin requested him to deny that_he countenanced the niove- ment in the parish, as had been published, and to state that he (the Bishop) would & winuitivate. the members Of the Law Com- if they instituted proceedings to bring nop into court, and would withdr the priest and close the church. ‘Tl nouuecement caused much exeitement in the large congresation, but the geheral sent ment was that the threatof the Bishop would not deter the members of the chureh from asserting their [ vist daines de fitz prominent mem- This threat of es communication. on the part of the hop nonsense. ‘Lhe time has gone by for Iri: men inthis free country to believe that re excommminicated they cannot co to or to think that only good Catholics They think that gvod_ Protestants st as good a ehane frishinen hold these old-fashioned notions of bigotry in their native land, but not here.
