M. ia tho MothodiBt ohuroh, taking for his lliomo tho Hooond blessing thoory, and conoluding his romarks from tlio preced ing Sunday on tho groat doctrino of "Ho liness," or "Sanctification." Tho toxt was lat l'otor, 8, 15-10: "But sanctify tho Lord God in your heart* ; and be roady to give an answer to ovory man Lint oskoth you, a roason of tho hope that is in you, with meekness and foar; having a good coiiBoionco ; that whereas thoy sponk ovil of you, as of ovil door.!, thoy may bo ashamed of your good conversation in Christ." Ho bogan by vopcatlng tho po sition of tho MothodiBt ohuroh on thia important doutrino of Christianity as givon in ids fiiBt sormon. This doctrino is hold to bo that regeneration is sanctifl catit/n bogun, and that thoro i* continual nd vaneo in tho state in which tito work of conversion leaves ono; in other words, that holiness is tho matin ?ty of t lie graces resulting from rogonorntion. Having thus briolly doflnod tho doc trino, as held by at least nine-tenths of tho MetInulist church to day, tho nblo divino devoted tho major part of ids dis course to tho discussion of tho second blessing theory, which ia, that thoro is necessary a second Instantaneous chango lifter conversion by which ono is made perfectly holy, which second chnngo is tho result of n second mid distinct net of faith. In tho eleni- exposition of tho fal lacy of this theory, it was first shown that there woro many serious and fatal objections to tho doctrine. As a gcnoral principio of construction of nil Biblo truth, that doctrine, or code of Christian ethics, is the best which is tho simplest, lu the .Scriptures thu great doctrine of re generation, or tho new hirth, is nmdo so plain that ho who runs may road. By re pentance and faith tho henrt is changed and tho believer is constituted a now creature in Christ Jesus. Tho work of God in converting ahuman soul is perfect and complete, and from that moment thc work of sanctification is begun. Tho second blessing theory minifies conver sion and causes a confusion of terms. The terms ill willoh these theorists dehne tho second blessing were shown to bc the samo by which Mr. Wesley defines re generation, or tho new birth. It is truo that, as a matter of metaphysical contem plation, theologians aro pleased to sopa tato in thought regeneration and sanctifi cation, hut this is only a mental disjoin der of tilings which aro always coexistent ill point of timo. Or, in other words, no one is ever justified who is notsanctified, and being thus in a stale of grace, it is bis duly and privilege to grow and de velop, thus going Oil to perfection. Thin view gives conversion its proper signifi cance and lin por lance as taught in thc Bible. Again, lt. nocessilates an unscriptural distinction of terms referring to sin, by which they would make tho singulai form, wherever it appears in tho Biblo, the synonym of inbred sin, and tho plural form refer to a ci iud transgressions of thc law of Cod, when no such distinction it made in the original (.reek, both formt being used indiscriminately to denote sin in a generic, sense. Moreover, the thoorj leads to error, '.n that many who protest it claim that they cannot commit sin 'Tis true that the wisest of those who nr< adherents to this belief claim no such ah surd perfection for themselves, but manj of this school do make, the mistaken pro fession and say they can never bocoiiu any moro holy in this life. Therefore it puts a stop to Christian growth and do volopmont. Finally, it tends to a disregard of tin church and its regular constltutct authority. Until the seeds of this doc trino were sown within thc last fow yours there never was known any intorferonci by outside parties with tho work of tin regular pastor in tho territory assignee to his care and oversight by tho Annita Conference. Now it has como to pas that even n local preacher from a distan Conference can go out ns an ovangolist and by utterly ignoring tho proachor ii charge of any given circuit in nnotho Conference, hold his " Holiness Moot ings," and because, forsooth, tho preach er in charge there, nor tho momborshi] of tho church, do nob fall in with hin and bis-aggressive ways, tho allegation i made that thor? is no religion or Chris tianity iii either pastor or, people, Al such unsolicited interference with tin work of tho regular constituted ministry lil any given territory, must and will wei l ?in injury to the interests of tho church Ho did not believe that three-fourths o tho Methodist church were backslider and apostates, and that their salvatioi depended on tho aeeoptanco of th second blessing theory of sanctification Then woro passed in review tho Bibi worthies who, it is claimed, had gotten th second blessing. 'By a closo exaniinatio: and reading of what, is recorded abeu Abraham, Jacob, David, Bani, and Apel los, it was shown that no such thing wa true in their exp?rience??, Next it was shown that the descent r tho Holy Spirit on thc day of PontOCOf ill no way proved thc second ! dessin doctrine. Finally, a number of passages, niue ipioted on that side, wore examined on by one, among them, Acts lt?, 1-7, 2 Coi I, 15, I Cor. 8, 1-8, I Tliess. 4, 8, 1 Joh I, 0-10, and Some others much relied Ol Thc Conclusion was reached that tb doctrino of a SCOOIld cleansing, after coi version, is not (aught in tho Bible. The argument from experience wi then taken up. As a last resort, thet theorists, when pressed to the wall, a ways fall back on their cxperioneo, an laking this as an infallible deliverance < ionsoiousness, ask, " Well, what aro yo ?oing to do with our experience fu II laid briefly that he believed they lia misunderstood their experience. On til ?Iber hand are thousands who claim (OlluillO Christian experience, yet ha\ lever accepted tho doctrine of a secon demising. He asked, "Tn thoir oxpor nice of no value ?" To this quest ?ol he I'Oply is made, in effect, if not i Words, that those who have not receive he second cleansing arc still led capth ?y Satan at his will. And just, hero J .elated a piece of personal oxporienci laying that not long since, while discus ng the matter with some of this porsui don, ho had to bear tho reproach Hu localise he did not believe in this wa: tis heart was still being stirred up 1 ,hc devil. Such uncharitable jndgmoi s tho outcome of tho teachings of th iccond blessing doctrino. Ho hob icvcrfbcless, that thorough cleansing ho work of conversion, and that thoi vho claim tho second blessing, had, s o UM) ox tent, baokslldon, and tho sooond j cleansing whtoh they received waa not a higher work completing tho first, but a ro oonvorsion, ro-instatiug thom tn tho grace whbroiu ihoy one? stood Tho matter, howover, will perhaps continuo to grow and trouble tho church .until tho Oonoral Conforonco mnkoB an authoritative deli v eranco for tho Methodist - church on tho subjoct.

Thc coming election in the 3d Con gressional District of South Carolina promises to have a quite novel inter est of its own, both for the partici pants and tho lookers-on. A Dem- , ocrat will bc chosen of course, but i the question is which Democrat- ' Mr. Calhoun or Mr. lionet? Tho former of these gentlemen has, be sides his name, a well earned repu tation for ability. Ile has been (in correctly) oreditcd with tho author- i ship of that remarkable brochure, "An Appeal to Pharaoh." Ile works several big plantations, and is said to bo a kind employer, but he* be lieves on general principles that the negroes should go, and that it is for South-- Carolina's interest to have ? them go. Mr. Benet, on the contrary, thinks all this talk about deporting tho negroes is feldorol ; the negroes won't go, and it would be a bad busi ness for tho South Carolina planters and farmers if they did go. It is given out that thc two gentlemen mean to make this question the main and decisive issue in tho eanvass. Hartford {Connecticut) Courant.
