D. H ». Again, to Acts lx : 17-19, we find that Ananias baptised Paul, and be was only a disci pie of Damancn* and never ordained Alan to Acts x : 4, A we see that Peter who preached to Cornelius aad "bis kinsmen and near friends,* did not administer baptism to them bimaelf, but assigned the duty to tbe brethren who came along—tbe lay- araa. "He commanded tbeai to lie baptised in the name of the Lord.* Thane were never ordained by tbe laying 00 of hands. . Bat it may be soul oar argument prove* loo mash, that it wowld throw open the doors ta even toyman, to go and pnroah and adwnatetcr the aaonunenta withoat tbe appoint meat from the mtotstry, si read > existing. Tht* is wot owr purpose. We recog nise both the taftimal coll. i. a, the caravictiaa of the ladrridual coo science, af a morn that be is fitted for the work of the miaiatry, and that God has designed him for it; and stem the mrftrraaf call, *.«., the indue Dow iato tho office by Itcensare. by Ite esisfttog ministry. And if a call tala tho ministry of these two porta rafonud to, and it is by all that a man wbo is to preach bas tbe authority we eon oat see what additional power or gift ia conform! by the "Form of Onhiiatmn.* If it b# said that the Holy Spirit te bestowed, and not until then, we reply aad say tbe# before ordination no one te qualified to preach. "For Pan! may |riant, A polios water, bat God giveth the increase.’* Tbe Holy Spirit te aeceaaary to qualify a man to preach, "it is not by might, nor by power, lint by my *|terit saith tbe Ijfird.* Those aenrn uh-11—deacon*— as we see in Acts vi: 1-7, were se lected, because "full of faith and tbe Holy Ghost,’* and their duty vt» only "to serve talriew* How much mote needful te tbe Holy Hfurit to preach. And in Act* x : 44, we see that the set of Way tog on of bauds” te mri tbe sulc and only lawful medium of tbe coon musical iou of tbe Holy Bpirit. And in Aste #•: 14, we find that those on whom bands were Intel bod tbe Holy Spirit lirfbie the act was performed. Doe* not Itceuonre then amount virtually to a fiaoai ordination, ami aa far sa authority from the church and quail- tewboi for the ministry are ooa- cerned, is sot the Hoeotiate as fully toveotod to aduttutaler the sacra- araato and jinrach aa the tuuu wbo has been ordained 1 We used as much apsoe as . we bars to sftatiug the argnmeut so as not tn appear to the mind of any one to disregard church order. But from tbe view token we roust regard tbe practice of those deuouiiuatious which forbid licentiate* administer ing the sacraments us uuscriptunil. 2. It te alao nnrrmaonabie. If ft man is side to preneb, be te also able to perform all ministerial acta, lf wbo administers tbe te a medium or channel of communication of grace to tbe etilfiect, instead of tbe ordinance bofag th# channel aud ordination the (rawer of being such a God, as well as their leader, u|» enjoy it too, hoping should we be fortunate enough to reach we will there know from oar netiee on earth bow to ring #1 angels. When we wish to attest opera or concert, we go, that there we will bear the art" executed artistically, hat at church we wish all with oar sent to praise God. Oh, thought, that ia a coo several hundred person* only mu that number should have ttwjte lege of singing God’s praisi * We fed tbe necessity and to that every congregation shoaM to a leader, or chorister. But fob be a member of some ebtite church, not one wbo will gri kfia rang, "When I can retd ny dear,” and be thinking all tfo of tbe titles to a piece of be bas just purchased. Bat fo feel tbe words of the hymn or and that same feeling wdl be parted to all who unite wHk Try it if ook once, all ye tion*. and yon will find thatwl*: say is true.
