THE MESSENGER.
WEDNESDAY, OCT. 26, 1875.'
(Continued from first page.)
er to have discovered that these
gifts were confined to tho days of
the apostles, lie says the apostles
asked for more taith. And so they j q
did. They had faith, but it was
wavering. Tribulation had come
upon them, John was cast into pris-
on, and they doubtless had begun to
doubt whether he was the Christ.
They wanted more evidence, wanted
to see more people raised from the
dead, and more multitudes miracu-
lously fed. Even John’s faith was
wavering, and he sent to Jesus for
more faith. But what did the Sa-
vior do ? Did he confer upon them
some miraculous, indescribablepow-
er or inward grace ? No. He told
the messengers of John to go back
and relate the facts to him, the his-
torical evidences—that the dead are
raised, the lame walk, etc.—to go
back and read the New Testament
to him. Here is where we obtain
our faith. The apostle says faith
comes by hearing the word of God.
If it comes by evidence, it is not a
direct gift of God. He says I talk
about two kinds of faith, or a differ-
ent kind to what he talks about. I
do not. Faith is faith. All faith is
one. Finding he must fail in the
New Testament, he goes away back
to pious Abel, and what does he find
there ? That Abel was justified by
bolieving, and doing nothing? Jt
dou’t read that way in my Bible.
“By faith Abel offered a more ex-
cellent sacrifice than Cain,” etc. It
is for him to prove that God never
commanded him to offer sacrifices.
He is in the affirmative, and we
want the proof right here. Does
be think Abel was under no law,
and went out and commenced offer-
ing up presents to God at random?
—something God had never com-
manded? But, was Abel justified
before he offered ? Before his faith
embodied itself in an act—hung it-
solt out in a visible form? He next
comes to Abraham, and where do
you reckon he places the pardon of
Abraha m ? Why, when he believed
the promises God made to him.
Abraham was justified here in the
sense of approval, not pardon. He
believed in God and worshipped
God and erected altars to God long
before this time. Thirteen years
before he was selected by God and
told to get up and get out of the
land of Ur. And Paul, in summing
up those characters that did such
geeat things by faith, says Abraham
by faith obeyed and went out, not
knowing whither he went. M ithout
faith nothing was ever done ; with
faith alone nothing was ever accom-
pli shed. They are always connect-
ed. Paul says, “Though I nave all
faith, so that I could remove moun-
tains,” and it is alone, I am a sound
ing brass. Even miraculous faith
by itself is worthless. Will he as-
sume that a man can not have faith
without having this charity of which
the apostle speaks? If he does, he
runs light squarely over Paul. If
laith is the only condition, then how
is charity the greater ? Man gives
his heart to God by faith, and that
is all that faith does. If man had
nothing but a heart, then he could
be pardoned by faith alone. But
man has a body, and a life, lie
gives his body to G-od in baptism,
his life or conduct in repentance.
That law that we elaborated in a
former speech, that God had pro-
vided a condition for every part of
man, and that he must needs com
ply with each of them to give him-
self wholly to God, precludes the
idea of a one-condition pardon, or
justification by faith alone. [Time
out.]
sion is good for the soul, and I hope
Bro. Caskey will now feel better.
He says this grace of God, of which
I speak, is not given to any man.
The Scriptures inform us that “ the
grace of God hath appeared unto
all men.” He also says faith is not
the gift of God. 1 referred to 1

lation. When my friend comes to jtinues to charge that I believe all
price’s third speech.
It is always a great pleasure to
me, my friends, to see my opponent
make all honorable effort to defend
his cause. But I must say of Bro.
Caskey, that he has been resorting
to borne means tfiat are not apj*ro-
God. Here Paul says “ the mani-
festation of the Spirit is given to
every man to profit withal ”—to one
faith, to another the gift of tongues,
etc. He reminds me of a preacher
I hoard of over in one of the old
states. He was reading a passage
of Scripture to prove a point in his
doctrine, when he found it proved
just the opposite. lie said, “ My
friends I beg leave to differ with
St. Paul right here 1 ” Bro. Caskey
begs leave to differ with St. Paul.
In Gal., the apostle mentions the
fruits of the Spirit, and faith is one
of them. If faith is a fruit of the
Spirit, then my position is correct.
He again refers to Simon. Now if
he has made any effort to prove that
Simon was pardoned, I have not
seen it. He also says the Holy
Ghost is not now given to any man.
In Luko the Savior says, “ If ye
being evil know bow to give good
gifts unto your children, how much
more shall your Heavenly Father
give the Holy Spirit to them that
ask him.” He also says a man is
never justified until lie.does some
thing. The woman with the issue
was told tlxat her faith had made
her whole. Her touching the hem
of the Savior’s garment did not heal
her—that was only the effect of her
faith—for Jesus says it was her faith
that healed her. He also said to
the woman that anointed his head,
“Thy faith hath saved thee.” How
Bro. Caskey will get around these
cases 1 am not able to see. Will he
tell you that their sins were not
pardoned,but only the}' were healed?
If so, the Savior added to the wo-
man, “ Thy sins be forgiven thee.”
We come again to Abraham. He
says any man ought to know bettor
than to say Abraham was not par-
doned when he offered [up Isaac. 1
say he was pardoned when he be-
lieved God, at the time he made
him the promises. The two events
are twenty-five years apart. So my
friend misses the point just.twenty-
five years. The offering of Isaac
was only an act of faith he had long
before. lie was justified in sense
of approval when be offered Isaac,
but in sense of parJon when he be-
lieved in God at the time the prom-
ise of the Savior was made. Hein
timates that I have a better acquaint-
ance with the Devil than he has.
Now, the first act the Devil ever did
in tho world was to dispute the
Word of God, and I have shown a
number of instances where Bro.
Caskey has done the same tiling !
Who then is best acquainted with
the Devil ? His position is opposed
to all those texts that speak of jus-
tification by faith. They say we are
justified by laith, and saved by faith;
and if his theory, that we arc justi-
fied by ball a dozen things, be cor-
rect, it contradicts the Scriptures,
aud these passages aro'lalse. “God
so loved the world that he gave his
only begotten Son that whosoever
bolieveth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.” Ever-
lasting life is here pledged to those
who believe, and laith is the only
condition—faith alone, only one
item. The man who believes in
Christ will be saved. Salvation de-
pends only upon laith in him. In
Rom. hi., it is said, “ that God might
be just and the justifier of him who
believes in Jesus,” etc. Again it is
said, “We are justified by laith,
without the deeds of the law.” It
seems to me that these arguments
of the apostle were designed ex-
pressly for Bro. Caskey and his
church. If a man is justified by
faith, he is justified without the
deeds of any law. He is not under
law. “ Seeing it is one God who
justificth the circumcision by faijh
and the Gentiles through faith,” cte.
It is the one condition to Jews and
Rom 5.1,
caskey’s tuird spf.ech.
Bro. Price thinks I try to ridicule
his straw religion. I did not allude
to the subject at all until he brought
it up. He introduced it into this
discussion. I allude to those ludi-
crous cases that have come under
my own eyes, and under the eyes of
tho world, but 1 do not ridicule
1 ion—it has always been my opinion.
Next lie comes to the jailer. Now,
this, he is at war with the whole [ these persons are damned. I dis-

My friend said I have abandoned
the mule, and got the ox, and that I
would be gored to death. I was a
little alarmed at that, for I confess
that I never wanted to die that sort
of a death. So I put out my hand
to feel around a little, and lo anil
behold it was a muley ox ! lie says
a man may read the Bible and be-
come familiar with its contents, and
not have faith. True: Taylor, the
greatest infidel writer, was
versed in biblical lore, familiar with
the Bible. Faith is both head work
and heart work. It is not worth
while for us to. quibble over head
work, and what that is, for we both
admit that mere intelligence is not
faith, and hence it has r.o place in
this controversy. But all faith nfust
come from evidence, and through
tho understanding. He represents
the sinner as having one sort
faith to start with and then after
working awhile to arrive at another
sort of faith; notwithstanding his
illustration of the locomotive in first
speech represented the saving faith,
from which all else proceeded, as
going in front of everything else.
His figure is right, but his theory is
wrong. He has a locomotive in the
middle of the train, according to his
theory! The sinner first has some
faith, which makes him repent and
pray, and then comes saving faith,
and after that some other works !
That locomotive has run over you,
my friend, and crushed all the life
out of your theory! IIow can a
man repent until he believes? He
next says the grace of God that
“ hath appeared unto all men” is
faith. Then all men arc believers!
Why} my dear sir, the grace of God
spoken of here is God’s Son. Grace
tions can not be less than are men-
Jesus remember me. But the prom
iso is sure. I could refer to num-
berless cases, where persons have
looked up from dying beets and
tioned in a passage, they may be ceived pardon through Jesus’ name
more. It is like a man going on a
journey. The obstacles or labors
that may be involved in the journey
are necessarily included in the con-
ditions of the trip, and the man that
would not surmount them but try to
excuse himself because they were
and left the world in triumph, who
never did a single act. It was ray
privilege in the state of Missouri to
visit the bedside of a dying young
man who was a stranger from home.
Knowing he would soonj^

is there any prayer, any repentance,
any love, in this passage which be
quotes so triumphantly ? Then, if
the jailer was saved upon just what
was mentioned and no more, he was
saved without prayer or repentance
or love. If the jailer hau believed
in Jesus before Paul spoke to him,
he would not have told him to have
faith ; but as he had nothing, (only
a bad scare at the earthquake,) be
began at the beginning and told him
to have faith m the I.ord Jesus. If
the jailer had had faith, then Paul
would have told him to repent and
be baptized. I believe in faith, a
faiih that works by love, not a do-
nothing faith. Bro. Price made one

stated the views of our church
upon this question in my first speech.
He has tried to make it appear that
we believe the sinner has nothing
to do. But I expressly slated that
there were certain duties which the
sinner must perform, but that the
condition of pardon was faith alone.
A sinner might pray and repent
soreiy, but unless be liad faith he
would not be pardoned. If he could
be pardoned by prayer, then he need
not have laith. The apostle teaches
that we have access by one Spirit to
the Father. lie tried to make it ap-
pear thai the gifts of the Spirit wore

next comes to the gifts of the Spirit,
and finds one of them to be faith.
Well, another one of these gifts is
the gift of tongues. Who amongjis
has such a gift nowadays? He does
not discover that the apostle is

gifts of the Spirit, and that faith
(mountain-moving faith) is one of
them. Neither honor I knowsany-

ery lime it is resorted to. He refers
to what Paul says about jnstifi -at ion
by faith without the deeds of the law.
What was Paul arguing against in
that passage? Why, there was a
work-alone party in those days,just
like there is a faith alone party now.
They believed a man e- r.ld be saved
by works without faith. If Paui
were here to-day he would ho ar
guing against the faith-alone party.
But man has more than a heart, and
it requires more than faith to save
