the purpose of saving the life of one who
was not a murderer. And he admonishes
His followers to be subject to every ordi
nance of man for the Lord’s sake. ’
Taking this view of the subject, 1 regard
-the Christian who, in obedience to his gov
ernment, is propelling a steamboat or a
railroad car, or is under military drill on
the Sabbath, (using any spare moments in
humble devotion to God)—-I regard such
a one, especially at this time, as a better
Christian than one who is memorializing
Congress, or complaining in any manner
of his Government.
The mariner cannot stop his vessel in
midway ocean on the Sabbath : what then ?
Either he must violate the Sabbath, or
never visit foreign lands. But this is no vi
olation ; it is among works of necessity.
If we are attacked on the Sabbath, it is
either our duty to light, or else surrender,
or be killed. But if it is our duty to fight
on the Sabbath, then it is our duty or priv
ilege to train on the Sabbath. At any rate,
if our rulers and generals think best to
drill, and do other things necessary for our
defence, it is both loyal and righteous that
Christians peaceably submit.
The Quaker will not bear arms, on the
plea that the Decalogue forbids him to kill.
But if it be the Christian’s duty not to bear
arms on the Sabbath, then it is equally his
duty not to kill on the Sabbath. And it is
the Chiistian’s duty to make such use of
the Sabbath as will enable him to defend a
v hole nation of lives. And all the goods
of Quakers should be confiscated to the
public fund of the Confederacy, and the
owners sent out of the country. For it is
certainly right that no man should be pro
tected by our laws who will uot 3tand by
and defend those laws.
Let us therefore keep the Sabbath as
well as we can at home, and faithfully ob
serve all the precepts of the decalogue, and
aid and obey our government the best we
can, Grace, mercy and peace to all the
Baptists of the South ; and may God crown
our efforts on the Sabbath and on all other
days, till our foes are driven back, beaten,
and humbled before God.

Motes on the Gospel by Mark,
With a Revision of the Common, English Version ,
BY N. M. CRAWFORD.
Chapter VIII. [27j And Jesus went out,
and his disciples, into the villages of Cesarea
Philippi: and on the way he asked his disciples,
saying unto them, Who do men say that I am ?
[2B] And they answered, John the Baptist:
and some soy, Elijah; but others, One of the
prophets. [2o] And he saith unto them, But
who say ye that lam ? And Peter answereth
and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ. [3o]
And he charged them to tell no one concerning
him.
[Bl] And he begangto teach'them, that the j
Son of man must suffer many things, and here-1
jected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, |
and be killed, and after three days rise again.—
[B2] And he spake that sayiug plainly. And
Peter took him by the hand and began to rebuke
him. [BB] But turning round and looking on
his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee
behind me, Satan: for thou thickest not the
thoughts of God but the thoughts of man.
[B4.] And having called the multitudejunto
him, with his disciples, he said uto them,“Who
soever wishes to come after me, let him deny
himself, and tako up his cross and follow me.—
[3s] For whosoever wishes to save his life,
shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life
for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save
it. [3(l] For what will it profit a man if he
should gain the whole world and lose his soul!
[B7] Or what will a man give in ransom for
his soul? [3B] For whosoever shall be asham
ed of me and my words in this adulterous and
sinful generation, of him also will the Son of
nan be ashamed when he cometh in the glory
of ids Father with the holy angels.
NOTES.
27. Cesarea Philippi. An important
town on the head-waters of the Jordan, at
the foot of Mt. Hermon. Its ancient name
was Pantos; but being rebuilt by Philip
the Tetrarch, he called it Cesarea in honor
of the reigning empe.ro’, Tiberius Cesar,
and added the name Philippi after himself,
as well as to distinguish it from Cesarea ol
Palestine, on the Mediterranean. Acts x:
24. On the wag, when they were alone
with Him, Asked his disciples. —Having
gradually prepared their minds, Jesus now
gives them more particular instruction as
to His luture career. The instruction for
the present was for themselves alone.
28. These answers show that the charac
ter of Jesus was much discussed, but that
the truth was little apprehended by the
people. Can any thing more strongly il
lustrate the natural antipathy of men to the
gospel?
*29. But who say ye t c6c. Implying that
they at least, having had better opportune
ty of knowing Him, ought to be better in
formed. l\ter ansttereth, —Though the an
swer was Peter's, the sentiment was com
mon to them all. Matt, siv; S3. Thou art
the Christ, —They believed that He was
the promised Messiah, bat the sequel shows
that they did not'understand either His of
fice or the plan of salvation.
•xmm ah©
30. Tell no one. The restriction was in
regard to those things which He taught them
privately ; for the time for the public decla
ration of all had not yet come.
31. j ßey an to teach, dc. It was proper
that they should be thus instructed, in or
der to prepare them for the event which He
knew was to come. It was equally proper
that the public should not yet know these
things, lest the prophecy (as frequently
happens) should be the means of its own
fulfilment. After three days. —ln Matthew
xvi: 21, ‘on the third day.’ The two ex
pressions are equivalent, for in common
speech, as w’ell as in law, a fraction of a day
is counted as a day.
32. Plainly. For he wished them to
know it before, so that when it came to pass
they might believe. Jo. xiii : 19. The an
nouncement .was so contradictory of their
cherished notions and hopes, that it filled
them with surprise and grief: and Peter,
in the ardor of his love and the impetuosi
ty of his nature, took him hy the hand and
rebuked him for expressing anticipations so
gloomy.
33. Tummy round, &c. The disciples
were witnesses of the rebuke administered
by Peter, if not partakers of its spirit: and
now they must witness the reprimand and
be taught by it. Satan. —(i: 14.) In op
posing Christ’s submission to the destiny
which was before Him, Peter was an “ ad
versary ; ” for by indulging in the thoughts
of men, he was opposing both the purposes
and thoughts of God. While it was wick
ed in the Jews to kill Jesus, it was the part
of.His followers, as well as Himself, to in
terpose no obstacle to their doing it. But
even in the rebuke there is still indication
of Peter’s diseipleship, for the proper place
of a disciple is behind the teacher whom he
follows.
34. The multitude, who still attended
Him, though not admitted to His private
instruction. Whosoever, dc. —Diseipleship
essentially involves three particulars : Ist.
Self-denial; “denying ungodliness and
worldly lusts, we should live soberly, 1
righteously and godly in this present world.”
Tim. ii: 12. 2d. Cross bearing. The cross
was to Jesus an instrument of suffering and
shame ; of suffering and shame also must
the disciple partake for the sake of Jesus,
and that, if need be, “ daily.” Luke ix : 23.
And as in the case of the Lord, the suffer
ing preceded the glory, so for the disciple
the cross comes before the crown. 3d. Fol
lowing Jesus: though self-denial and cross
bearing are the lot of the Christian, yet
they are so only as in these we follow
Christ; for there are self-denials and suffer
ings which Jesus does not require. These
are of the essence of “ will worship.” We
follow- Jesus only in obey ing Ilis commands,
not in walking after our own notions.
Wishes. —The disposition of the disciple*is
positive: he must not only be willing, but
heartily desirous of coming after Jesus.
35. His life. The life of man is essen
tially one as an immortal spirit, but it is
manifested in a twofold relation —first, as
life in this world and in the material body ;
and second, as life beyond this world and
in the spiritual body. This distinction runs
through this and the two following verses.
He who devotes himself to his life here,
shall lose his life hereafter: but he that,
for the love of J esus and the gospel, shall
lose his life in the present world, shall en
joy it in eternity. Gospel's: its truths, its
profession, and its ordinances. The whole
verse contains a reason for submitting to
present self-denial and cross-bearing.
36. For what , d'c. A further reason for
becoming disciples of Jesus. The inter
rogative form adds emphasis to the truth
that it would be without profit to gain the
whole world at the expense of the soul, the
life in eternity.
37. Or what , d'c. The reason stated in
another form. No ransom that man can of
fer can redeem him. It is the only wisdom,
therefore, to become disciples of Jesus and
rely on Him as our ransom.
38. Ashamed of me: first, of Jesus, and
second, of His disciples, whom He regards
as Himself. Matt, xxv: 40; Acts ix :4, 5.
Of my words : first, of His doctrines, which
are humiliating; second, of His precepts;
third, of His ordinances. Generation , spo
keu with particular reference to the Jews,
but applicable to all nations. Adulterous ,
because it rejected Christ. “ Thy Maker
is thy husband” is the language of the pro
phet in regard to the relation existing be
tween Israel and God. Isa. iiv :5. Sinful ,
because it transgressed and set at nought
God’s precepts. Son of man. —.(ii: 28.)
fie applies the title to Himself at this time,
because of the contrast between His pres
ent humiliation, when men are ashamed of
Him, and that coming exaltation when He
will be ashamed of them. When he com
eth : to gather all His chosen to be with
Him forever. 1 The*, iv: 17. Glory of
the Father: which. He says, “I had with
thee before the world was,” (John xvii: 5)
via., the essential and ineffable a*.d incon
ceivable glory of the Godhead. Holy an
yeU: witnesses and partakers of the tri
umph of the Lord.

23d October, 1862, JULIAN A., son of Q. T.
and Lizzie Carrie—aged three years and thie
months.
Another little form asleep,
And a little spirit gone;
Another little voice is hushed,
And a little angel born.
Two.little feet are on the way
To the home beyond the skies,
And r our hearts are like the void that
comes
When a strain of music dies.
The birds will sit on the branch above,
And sing a requiem
To the beautiful little seeping form
That usedto sing to them.
But never again w’ill the little lips
To their songs of love reply;
For that silvery voice is blended with
The minstrelsy on high. E.
Died, on the 14th October, at Winchester, Va,
W. J. CALDWELL, of Company F, 18th Regi
ment Georgia Volunteers.
He died of a wound received at the battle of
Sharpsburg, Maryland, while nobly defending
his country’s rights. He was ever ready to do
his duty. The country has lost one of her bra
vest sons. He was conscious ot his death, and
expressed a willingness to go. His last words
were, “ Tell my mother and lather I would like
to have seen them before goingto a better world,
but a*l is right, and lam prepared to go.” He
was a dutiful son, an affectionate brother, a kind
friend, and a good soldier. He left many rela
tives and friends to mourn their loss, but they
mourn not as those without a hope.
Parents mourn their loved one they had not seen of late
Sis ers and brothers weep o’er his early fate ;
And friends who meet together rehearse again the tale
Of his deeds of valor, and his early death bewail.

THOMAS DOUGLAS.
The undersigned Committee, appointed by the
Baptist Church of Christ at Benevolence, Ran
dolph county, Ga., to draft resolutions expres
sive of our grief at the death of brother Thom
as Douglas, who was a faithful and beloved
brother and Deacon in our Church, report as
follows:
We regard the loss of brother Douglas to the
Church as one that can not be easily supplied
for though not with us in the constitution of the
Church, he was very soon after received into
our communion, and has been for twenty years
a faithful, zealous member, ever at his place in
the sanctuary, and willing to discharge duties
and assume responsibilities. He presented to
the world the type of a genuine Christian and
consistent church-member, and one who, in
Scripture language, filled the office of Deacon
well. Therefore,
Resolved, That, as a mark of our appreciation
of his memory, we inscribe upon our Minutes a
statement of his age and death, and the date of
his union with our Church; and recommend to
the Chui’ch his example as worthy of imitation.
Resolved , That we deeply sympathize with the
bereaved wife and children, and exhort them to
remember that their loss is his eternal gain.
Resolved , That a copy of this report be hand
ed to sister Douglas, and a transcript sent to
The Banner and Baptist for publication.

Death of Rev. W. B. Johnson, D. D —We
learn that this venerable and eminent servant of
God died at 5 p. m. last Thursday, the 2d inst,
at the residence of his son-in-law, Colonel G. F.
Townes, in Greenville, 8. C, He was out, and
apparently in his usual health, the day before.
We have learned nothing more as to the partic
ulars of his sickness and death. Be was, we
think, at least eighty years ot age. Few' men
were as widely known in the denomination as
Dr. Johhson, and none held in higher venera
tion and esteem. The remarkable clearness and
acuteness of his intellect, and the equally impo
sing dignity and gracefulness of his manners,
drew to him in a marked degree the attention
of his brethren, and gave him always a special
prominence among them. He was the first
President of the Baptist Triennial Convention,
and long continued to hold this office. The
same position he held in the Southern Baptist
Convention, and in the Baptist State Conven
tion of South Carolina, until declining health
and strength made it necessary for him to retire
from such active and laborious duties. He,
however, continued to attend and take part in
the meetings of his brethren, as ids health and
strength would permit.

Correction.
Cleveland, Tenn., Oct. 28, 1862.
The correction which F sent you, which
you mention in your last issue as having
been mislaid, is this : Your types of Oct.
11th make rne say that there is a place near
Shepherd Hill Church, in Hamilton coun
ty, Tenn., where the United States flag has
been publicly thrown to the breeze ‘ ever'
since the first great battle at Manassas. It
should have read * even since' instead of
‘ ever since'
The old United States flag, we are told
by good authority, was publicly exhibited
at some kind of Union demonstration at
Georgetown, which is within a short dis
tance of the Shepherd Hill Church, soon
after the first battle at Manassas. Since
that time it has not made its public appear
ance in that section of the country, and we
hope never will again in all time to come.
Most respectfully, W. McNutt.
