Africa, and America:

But if a Christian is what St. Paul defines it, to wit, a man that is heavenly-minded, that contemns the world, and would die rather than commit a moral evil, then is the number of Christians very small indeed.
The meaning of John vi. 44. No man can come to me, except the Father draw him.
That is,—No one can be a Christian, unless his regard for the Deity and natural religion inclines him to receive a more improved scheme of religion.
But Dr. Young, in one of his sermons, explains this text in the following manner.—No one can live up to the religion of Jesus, and reach Christian perfection, unless the Father enlightens and enables him, by the operative influence of his holy spirit. We can do nothing, in respect of what ought to be done, to be more than nominal Christians, without the inward principle of sanctification.—This I think is mere methodism.
N. B. The excellent Dr. Lardner expounds the text in the following words:— No man will come to me, and receive my pure, sublime, and spiritual doctrine, unless he have first gained some just apprehensions concerning the general principles of religion. And if a man have some good notions of God, and his perfections, and his will, as

already revealed, he will come unto me. If any man is well disposed: if he has a love of truth, and a desire to advance in virtue, and religious knowledge; he will readily hearken to me, and believe in me. Sermons, Vol. I. p. 303.
Of Baptism, in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
What is the meaning of baptizing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost?
It signifies receiving men by baptism to the profession and privileges of that religion, which was taught by the Father, Son, and Spirit, that is, which the Father taught by the Son, in his life-time, and by the Spirit, after his ascension.
Or, to be baptized, is solemnly to profess our resolution to adhere to that holy doctrine, which is the mind and will of God the Father, published to the world by his Son, whom he sent from heaven for that purpose, and confirmed by the power of the Holy Ghost.
