MCGEE has the pleasure to inform his friends that he has taken Mr. THOMAS BASON (from London) as partner in his business, which will be conducted in future under the firm of MCGEE & BASON. Mr. BASON is a first rate workman, and has had great experience in the finest styles of finishing in London, and has also finished, in Boston, very recently, some of the handsomest work ever offered in the city. Rebinding, in all the various styles usually required in a gentleman's library, will be done, with attention to durability, as well as with the MCGEE & BASON. utmost neatness. H. F. MCGEE, grateful for the very liberal encouragement given since his commencement of business in Cambridge, assures his friends that his work will now be done in a superior manner.

We shall do well, then, to endeavour to understand the language of our text, to know to whom and to what we are baptized, to comprehend, as nearly as may be, the full and important meaning which our Saviour undoubtedly attached to this last communication and commission to his disciples. We can accomplish all this only by first considering the usage of the times in respect to baptism, and by interpreting our Lord's |
