I have seen the writer of the letter since he wrote it, and have his consent to make it useful. "BRANSBY, GAINSBOROUGH, 3d Month, 8th, 1853. "DEAR R-I think it will be a very hazardous proceeding for our Society to undertake to marry persons not in membership with us. It will be extremely dangerous to the reputation of the Society to give a sort of sanction, a peculiar countenance, to persons over whose future actions we could exercise no control.

Without undertaking to judge them, we may say, without giving just cause of offence, "We have not so learned Christ." That the practice in question is ancient, is granted. See Acts xiii. 15-"After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on." The Jewish synagogue way of worship does not bind a Christian church. I have not the forementioned pamphlet at hand, so quote from memory. It refers us to Justin Martyr in proof that the Christians were wont to read the Scriptures when assembled. The writer moreover says, from the same authority, that the early Christians practised, in their meetings for worship, many other things which Friends have thought it right to dispense with. Does he, then, mean to say that their example is binding on us? If it be not, why quote it as an argument for the reading referred to? If it be, why not state fully the whole of the changes from our present simple manner of worship, that he thinks we ought to adopt? 66 Everything is beautiful in its season, and in its season only."

BY WILLIAM TANNER. London: A. W. BENNETT. 1858. THE author having kindly sent us proof copies of two of the above lectures, we may inform our readers that the perusal of them has greatly interested us, and we cordially recommend his volume to the notice of Friends in general. So highly do we value the writings of our early Friends, whether historical in their character, or the journals of their lives and travels, and sufferings in the cause of the ever-blessed Truth, that we are always rather averse to say much in favour of works of modern date; lest we should thereby contribute, in any degree, to throw the former into the shade. In the present instance, however, we have no fear of any such result; believing that the reading of the interesting details given by William Tanner in these lectures, may induce many to seek for an acquaintance with the history of the Society more at large, as well as to read the journals of our first Friends; and we cannot doubt that those who are thus induced to pursue the course we have pointed out, will be amply rewarded for their pains. What a contrast to the times in which it is our privilege to live, when religious liberty is so much better understood and acted upon! Truly it may be said to Friends of the present day-"Other men laboured, and ye have entered into their labours.” We should have been glad, had our space permitted, to have adverted more particularly to the contents of William Tanner's lectures; as it is, we can only add our sincere desire that the work may be widely spread in our Society; and that thus the design of the estimable author, in publishing the work, may be answered, viz.-the information and benefit of the body of which he is a member, and an approved minister. (See an advertisement in another place). 666 "These children,' says Gough (in his History of Friends), after the example of their parents, now in confinement, kept up their meetings regularly, with much gravity and composure; it was surprising to see the manly courage and consistency with which some of the boys behaved, undergoing many abuses with patience. Although their age exempted them from the lash of the law, yet even the state of minority could not rescue them from the furious assaults of these callous persecutors.' Several of them were put in the stocks on more than one occasion. They were unmercifully beaten with twisted whalebone sticks. Helliar (the mayor) sent eleven boys and four girls to bridewell; next day they were brought before the deputy-mayor. They were cajoled and threatened, to make them forbear their meetings, but the children were immovable. They were sent back to bridewell; and Helliar, to terrify them, charged the keeper to procure a new cat-of-nine-tails against the morning. Next day he urged the justices to have them Corrected, but could not prevail. So many were at length imprisoned, that there was no more room in the jails."—P. 32. CHRISTIAN BAPTISM SPIRITUAL, NOT RITUAL. THIS little volume is valuable, as treating on an im- It is altogether a remarkable work, emanating from the pen of one who, but the other day, was a minister in the Church of Scotland; and demitted "his status as an ordained minister and licentiate" of that body, on the ground that "he could no longer subscribe to "the whole doctrine" of the Confession of Faith." It is refreshing, and animating, and encouraging to us, as Friends, to have met with this treatise; and we strongly recommend it to our fellow-members, as calculated at once to gratify and confirm them in the views on this subject, which our Society has ever pro These lectures will, as a matter of course, be most attractive to Friends of the locality of which they treat; at the same time we may remark that they are well worthy of the attention of all.

Bristol was noted in the early times of our religious Society for the severity of the persecution which Friends were called to endure. To such an extent was it carried, by the adult members of the Society both male and female being imprisoned, that there were almost none left to keep up the meetings for worship; and the children evinced a noble zeal in this respect by attending meetings, though at the risk of themselves also being cast into prison. argument, logical acumen, and lucid illustration; and our only regret at the present time is, that we have not room for a more extended notice. Intending to return to the subject in a future number, we conclude by giving the author's summing-up of the question on which he has so ably treated: - "In drawing these remarks to a close, it may be well to sum up, and collect in one view the evidence on the subject of baptism which is scattered over the preceding pages, and which has been deduced from the various passages that have passed in review before us. From this examination it appears-1. That before the crucifixion, and consequently before the giving of the commission in Matt. xxviii. 19, a distinction is minister rites, but to preach the Gospel, to preach drawn between the baptism of John, and the baptism Christ and Him crucified; and if many should feel of Jesus-the first being with water, administered in that their occupation is gone, that they have run withthe lifetime of the Saviour-the second with the Spirit, out being sent, some may possibly be led to aspire to to be administered after His death. 2. That Christian a higher commission, or to wait for the promise of the baptism, as enjoined in this commission, was to be Father, to wait till they be endued with power from administered in the second of these periods; and that on high.

And better far to wait Father, the Son, and the Spirit-it is, like the baptism than to undertake a warfare on our own charges. But by Jesus, with the Spirit. 3.

That the is so great, and the labourers so few! If little has yet epistles frequently mention the subject of baptism, but been done in the way of converting men, let us confess never as a rite, except in one case (1 Cor. i. 13-17), and that we have been weak and carnal, and have walked then to condemn it; while they often mention it as a as men; but let us never despair of seeing realized the doctrine, and affirm of it in this view that it is one, great and glorious things predicted in the Gospel. If that it saves, that it implies union to Christ, a putting the Christian is barely distinguishable from the man on of Christ, a burial with Christ, and a resurrection of the world, let us own it that we have not been careto newness of life, and that it is effected by the one ful to live in the Spirit, and to walk in the Spirit; Spirit. 6.

London: Ward and Co., Paternoster Row. Pp. 50. 1553. Tuis is an admirable pamphlet on what is to the nation at large a deep and absorbing question at the present time. It has cost the author much labour, and contains a mass of facts which the public ought to be made acquainted with; and we trust it will be extensively read. "And let me remind the reader that this is not a mere speculative question, in regard to which much may be said on both sides, and either opinion held with equal safety. If the view presented in these pages be the scriptural one, then not only is the common practice of sprinkling or dipping erroneous, but it is an error which may be attended with the most serious consequences. If ye be circumcised,' says Paul, 'Christ shall profit you nothing.' And if another rite be put in the place of circumcision, having as little reason to claim a divine sanction for its administration now, it too must prove a barrier in the way of true religion. The rite obtains the name of baptism, and this, with most minds, is sufficient to convey the impression that the characters which are ascribed to baptism in Scripture belong to the rite. A few men of spiritual discernment may stand forth and say The burial with Christ, the resurrection with Christ, the union to Christ-these are true, not of those who have received the rite, but of those who possess the Spirit. But this does not seriously alarm men. The offence of the cross has ceased. They read in their Bibles that 'baptism doth save,' and the same persons who warn them against trusting in rites, admit that they are baptized. "But let it be once fairly understood that baptism with water is not a Gospel ordinance, and men may come to inquire what that baptism is which saves. Let it be given out that compliance with rites does not bring men any nearer heaven, and is not required by God; and they may be stirred up to ask what is the bond which unites to the Saviour. If many should feel that with the rite they have lost their all, that they have been leaning upon a broken reed, some may be led to flee for refuge even yet to the only ark of safety, the Lord Jesus Christ. Let it be distinctly announced that Christ does not send disciples to ad 66 And GATHERED FRAGMENTS, Briefly Illustrative of the 66 THE ART REVIEW, AND PHOTOGRAPHIC RECORD. No. I.

THIS journal just reached us as we were about to go to press, and therefore we can only intimate, that from the prospectus it appears, that the increasing attention shown throughout Scotland to the Fine Arts is considered to afford just cause for congratulation. A want has, in consequence, been felt, of a popular periodical, specially devoted to stimulate and direct this awakening interest. The proprietors of the Art Review are anxious to supply this want, believing that in proportion as art prospers, and is appreciated, the people will be refined and elevated in their more ordinary enjoyments and pursuits.
