HE Publication Committee of the Presbytery of Toronto

THE

proposes to issue from time to time a series of Tracts on topics connected with Presbyterian doctrine, government, discipline, modes of work and kindred subjects; in order that our people, especially the young, may be better able to defend the principles of Presbyterianism, as well as to give a reason concerning the hope that is in them.

The Committee respectfully request the hearty co-operation of the Church at large, in order to make the undertaking, under the blessing of God, beneficial and a success. As the object is not money-making, but the wide circulation of wholesome literature at the lowest figure, all transactions will be conducted on a strictly cash basis.

PREFACE.

LAST winter and spring the minds of several thoughtful and anxious persons having been disturbed by the confident assertions of some Baptist, or, rather Ana-Baptist preachers, and diverted from the all-important subject of the Gospelway of salvation, the author felt it his duty to attempt to calm the agitation. For this purpose he hurriedly composed the following examination of the question, and delivered the substance of it in public. The effort so far accomplished the object intended, that several who heard the address requested its publication.

The author regrets that the limited time at his command does not enable him to improve upon the original draft, and change its form. He may state that he is practically unacquainted with law proceedings, and was, therefore, unable to adhere closely to legal forms of speech, though without premeditation he examined the question as if before a judicial tribunal.

OCTOBER, 1875.
