LEAVES FROM PASTORS' LIVES. iVIy First Experience In Open Air Preaci^lng

BY HKV. A C. DI.VON. M u c h of my early preaching In the South was In

the open air, with an Improvised platform for a pul-pit, while the people sat on rough benchea or stood In the shade of Ihe trees. But after I came to the city it did not occur to me that I ought to preach on the streets, until after a trip to Europe. One Thursday evening, in the Metropollton Tabernacle, London, at the close of tbe aervlce, iu which I had taken a brief part, Mr. Spurgeon turned to me and eald, "Will you not preach on the street?" -When?" I asked. " In ten minutes," he replied, and turning to deacon Olney he d i r e c t e d h t m to u k e me In charge, aud show me to the preaching place.on the street. W h ^ we reached the front of the Tabernacle there waa a company of people, some of them sUndIng lu tbe rain, and listen-ing to an earnest Ulk. I noticed that othera were coming In two by two, aud I learned afterwarda that these couples were a Chrlatian worker and aome one whom he had found on tbe street or In the public house, and was bringing to the meeting. Such ear-nest, practical work for the salvation of the lost made a deep Impression on me, and I asked myself. Why can we not doaometblng like tbie In Baltimore?

On my way home I spent two or three day In Llv-erpool, aud, being alone in tbe hotel, when night came I went to Hugh Btowell Brown'a chapel, hop-ing to find a prayer-meeting; but the building waa dark and the doom were cloeed. On my way back to tbe hotel I passed an Episcopal church with a placard In front, "Preachlug at 8 p. m. Subject, The Prodigal Son." I went in and wasahown aaeat neat the ftont. My early education In the Episcopal Prayer Book had been neglected, aud I found It diflicult to keep the place. A kind gentleman on my right, noticing my confusion, reached over and showed me tbe page, but when they skipped I lost it again, and a lady on my left was kind enough to baud me her prayer book with her flnger on tbe place. The young rector, alL ting in the pulpit, took in the aituation, and evidently decided that tbera waa one prodigal at least who needed biaaermou. And whilehe preached he looked meatrtUght In the face most of the Ume. f. ei^oyed it. I t was go«I,eoul.Btlrrlng Gospel. ,Bu twta t aurprla-ed me moat waa tbe announcement at tbecloae of the service: "IVhiiiortbw evening, at 7 o'oloek, the usual open-air aervlce will bo held lu front of thia ohurch.*' 1 was there a few mUintea befora aeven, atanding on tbe opppalte aide of the atreet watching developmenU. Promptly on the minute a gate opened and the rector, with t#o'or three young people, came out bringing wlth thema amall organ, which waa placed on the break lo\tbe atone ateps wblcta fVirmed a aort of plat-form, afid the reetot, taking hla seat at 1 the organ, began to play.. In a few minutea seventy Ave .or 100 people had g a t h ^ , among whom I atood. The i t c tor aeemed lo ncognike me, and coming over, eald, "Didn't I see you at ohurch laateveningT" I replied, " I think you did, for you looked at me moat of the time while you wete pieaohlng." Are ytu a Ohris-. tlan?"he continued. "Yea, I anTa pieaoher ftam Ameritm." "CJome up, t b « , and help ua In t h e ^ viee." V Within ii Itow minutea 1 fbond myaalf atand*

^ . '' \ . r i '

Ing In the row with a hymn book In my hand, and singing like a BalvaUon lad. There were prayeni, songa and abort teaUmonlea. The aervlce had continued for one hour and a quarter, and I thought It waa time for the benedlcUon. But at 8:15 tbe rector rose, took hia te«t, and preached aoiWIy un-til 10 o'clock-one hour and three-quartera. Not leea tbau 1,200 people heard from five minutea to •»» hour of bis Gospel, and aome of them stood through the whole ume. At the close I asked ^ ^ came from these meetings. He replied: "About all the reaulto we have hero come from the open-air aer-vices. A few children of rich people join the ohurch as a matter of course, but those who oome In by re-generation are nearly all won In the open air.

I left that aervlce determined to preach in the open air when I reached home. B u t - I can oonfeaa it now - m y courage failed me. There waa piejudioe against the Salvation Army among our beet peopl^ Some good women thought it waa outrageoua thatthrtr p ^ tor ehould think of preaching on the atreets. After about three montba I aaid one day to my board of deacons,"! cannot ataud it any longer; I have made up my mind that 1 will preach next Sunday -om®-whereon Ihe atteet." That waaaaoiemn meeting for at leaat a minute. All of them ahut W abut their mouths, and I hnaglned I aaw one abut his list. Not a word waa aaid unUI the subject wm changed. But aa we came out of the room one of the moat intelligent deaeona cameto mewithsomeexcite-ment and said," Paator, It never will do for. you to preach on the atreet. I t la nndlgnifled, and we must malnUln our dignity." I wpUed that I would look up the subject of dignity In my Bible aud report to him. Theetudy waa to me a revelation. Dignity Is not mentioned among the Chrlsttan graces, nor hi It one of the fruits of the Spirit. The only place where It is spoken of with emphasis Is where Solomon says, •Their folly Isset In greatdlgnlty." And what felo-mon meant waa that any fool can be dignified. I took to my deacon the leeulU of the Biblical atndy, and asked him how much dignity he thought we ought to have, and was it not more ImporUnt t to t w e a h o u l d malntolnourhumUlty than our dignity? He expressed himself aa aattafled, and was ever after-ward one of my w a r m e s t aupporters In open alc preaching. _

The first meeting was held with Fulton Avenue Church, of which Rev. A. C. Barron was paator. We announced that an open-air service would be held on a vacant lot five or six blocka from the ohurch, at 7 P M., and that we would atUourn at 8 for preachtag in the ohurch. When I arrived at the place of meet-ing there waa one man standing In the middle of the lot with a hymn book nnder his arm. That Impnse-ed me aa a poor bcghinhig for an opeu ai* After a ftow minutea fifteen or twenty h*d gathered, and we began to aing. People, young and old; were atonoe attracted to t h e p l a c e ; ai.loon keeperi, their c l e r k s , w l v e a and ohUdren w e r e among the n u m ^ . When the thne came to preach the audience number-ed about 850, of whom 200 were evidently non ohuroh goera. T h e y Itatened w i t h intenae Interest to a plain Gospel aermon. At 8 o'clock we went to the ohuroh and Itound about 800 people asaembled. All of t h m , except . three, were OhriaUans, and of t h e * thies one waa so deaf he eould not bear it thunder, and c a m e t o ohuroh from foiee of habit, another WM a Sunday school boy, and the third waa a "Goapei dened" husband who had heard enough p i l i n g , tonveathoneandmen.bnthadreeiated I t ^ L The contraat between flOOnonehurch-goere In tb»«pen air audthethiee non-Ohrlatlanajln the chuieh fieatlyt impreaaed me, and I fe* that itfWae t t a i d i ^ of Cbriatlana togoout Into.tbe Wghways and hedges and oompel them to oome. . . . . ...

near this saloon, ieat the proprietor might diaturb the meeting by throwing hot water upon ua from the window; eo I took my poeiUon in the middle of the atreet, and after a few songs hundreds of people gath-ered. WhUe preaching 1 saw tbe skloon door open, and the red face of a b u r l y Dutohman looked out. He closed the door with a slam, as If be might be go-ing for hisgun. In a shorttimethedoor openedagain, and the man came out carrying a chair in hla hand. He pieaaed hla way through the crowd until he stood In front of me. and aald, "Miater, if you will atond on thla chair I think the people can bear you better." I thanked him, atood upon the chair, aud preached for thirty-five mhintes, whUehestood with many oth-ers listening intently. As a result of that meettag one backaUder waa reclaimed, and many expressed a de-sire to become Christians. The open-air preaching tbusbegun has continued through ton or twelve years, and some of the beet workera in my church to day are reauita of it.

Saved Througii Water. BY OBO. A. IiOVTON, D.D.

The paasage fr^m 1 Petor ill. 20, 21 la much relied upon by ritnailsta to prove baptismal salvaUon. Let us analyse the text and aee if thla thing be eo.

1. Peter speaks of the "ark wherein few, that is, eight souls, were saved through wafer." This waa tbetypeofeaving believen through baptism; but In oidarlo maintain the type or ** llkeness,"'notlee that tbete Bonis wen In the ark before glstUng liitb tlie water; and henoe the believer must get into the anti-type of the ark, Jesus Christ, before baptism. Out of the ark Noah wonid have perished; and unUl we get Into Christ baptism has no significance at all. We must fint believe into Christ (eis ChrUton) In order to be saved and then bapUsed. Noah was safe in the ark befMe the water, and did not get into the ark through the water; and the believer is safe In Christ whom he enteia by faith before bapttam, and he doee not get Into Chrlat through baptism.

2 Peter s a y s : "Which'also after a true likeness (antUupm) doth now save you, even baptism . . . through the reeurrecUon of Jesus Christ." The " wa-ter" which physically bore up the ark and saved Noah during the flood, now, " after a trueUkenm:\

saves the believer; that Is, flgvmUively \n baptism.' "The like figure wherennto even baptism doth also now save us." In other words, Noah and bis family In the ark wen a type'of believen in' Christ; and the phyaioal salvaUon of Noah and hhi family In the ark, through water, was a type of the spiritual aaivaUon of believen In Christ, eymboilcaily set forUi'ln bapf tism, whioh Is a " t rue likeness" of the old^type. H m we have the type of a type which makee bapi-Uam a figuntive anUtype. Baptism which typiflea and i ^bo l I sM ealvaUon In Christ hi the " tme like-ness" of the type eet forth in the salvation Of Noah lu the ark through water. "Baptism" Is sUnply the"* " l l k e n W of tb<e sune thing of which "water" In saving Noah was a type, namely, salvaUon In Christ; and henoe bapUsm here, though an anUtype, is sUll a type Of that which was set forth In the type of the ark. The bapUsm of tbe ark and the bapthim of the ChriaUan a n typsa of the same thing and types of each othM. The Pascbial feast was a type of the Loid^e Supper, and yM tbe Lord's Supper is a type ofObrist'eeuflrertngsand of our partaking of God's Paschal Lamb, and eo the Passover and the Lord's Supper are not only types of Christ aud of his euffsr-Inge, bat typw of eaoh oOier. Baptism and ttie, Lofd'e Bupptt a n boUi anUtyploal types, or eymiwls.^

fiMdly-the water did not save Noah except thni igh the ark. The ark waa the savior wWoh kept the wa-ter ftam drowning Noah, as It floated In the water and finally emerged out of tiie fl kkI Into a new worid and a new life. Thearkwaa parUy aubmerged In the watar and enveloped by tbe watne ftom above; and. in Ibi eeparatlon from the old world, the aik. with all

within, literally had a dealli, burial and rei-urrectlou. 8o ChrlBt, lucludlug all LelleverB wUiilu lilm, was tbuB typlfled in hU baptlBin luto kullerlug aud death and in bis resurrection iiy which we are brought l»lo a new world and life-all of which i-i aymboliied by baptism in Ita death, builal and wsurreclion fclgnin-cance. Hence, as Noah and bU f*inlly were taved in the ark through water in order to typify ourBilvatlou In Christ, so also baptleni, " after a true likenew," now saves us—how? " By the resurrectton of Jesus Christ"-tl ie antitype of tiie ark through his lesurrec-tlon and the sole ground of salvation. As Noah and his family, the type of all believers, were typically saved in the typical aik through typical water and came out of the flood in the typical resurrection of the ark, so all believers In Christ are saved through the tl jod of his baptismal death, burial and resurrec-tion asset forth in baptism which Paul (Kom. vi 5) calls the " lll-euefs" of his " death" and " resurrec-tion" by which we are " united" to him, or In which we are " planted." Baptism is the only " true like-uess" of the death, burial and reeurrectlon tf Christ; and when we get into Christ by faith, the only door into the ark, and are saved through his death and resurrection, we symboliza and declare the fact in baptUm-the only " tntc Ukcnena'' of the fact In the universe. Hence we are saved by baptism "aft?r a true likenew," that Is, fi/tnOolicallj/ Haved. The phys-ical necessity of water to save does not exist In Christ as in t l ieaik;aud iience baptism can only be sym-bolical as related to salvation.

a. By way of explanation Feter uses a parentheti-cal clause In the text which says of baptism : " Not the putting away of the tilth of the flesh, but the in-terrogation of a good conscience toward God."

(a) He tells us what baptism Is not. i t does not put away the fllth of the flesh as Jewish circumcision did: nor does it canctlfy to the purifying of the flesh as Jewish Immersions claimed; nor does it wash away «iu, original or actual, as the rltuaUsIs assume. It is the great symbol of the resurrection by which we ure saved; and, as a con«cjuence, it becomes the symbol of the baptismal fountain of Christ's blood, which alone cleanseth from any and ail unrlghteousueaa. Baptism has no causal or tfllcaclous eflect in wash-ing away sin, tbe prerogative of Christ's blood; and therefore It can only be a " true likeness" of that fact already produced in the Ark.

(b) Peter tells us what baptism Is. It Is simply " the Interrogation of a good conscience toward God." This Is its only causal tflVct in the believer—whatever Its symbollcaUIFect upon the believer. The Qreek word, epiroiecma, may be literally rendered, demand —tbe demand of a good conscience toward Ood by obedience In baptism. The Syrlac version renders the expression: "Confessing Uod with a pure con-science." Some render It, "Tbe stipulation of a gcod cooHClence to ward God." Really, it Is "the annvtr of a good conscience towaid God;" and a "good con-science toward God" means a regenerated conscience talitftcd In baptism by obedience to Christ. The be-liever already In the Ark and saved by tbe resurrection of Christ, alieidy has that "good conscience toward Uod;" and baptism is tbe rcaponac of that ooDsclence. If we love Christ we will keep his commandments. Baptism does not create this "good couscleuce," but it Is the annwcr of that conrclenco toward God by obe-dience.

It Is thus that Peter parenthetically explains what he means by being saved by water. I t ia a figurative salvation corresponding to a real iialvation through the resurrection of Christ. I t is the external likeoess of the internal original—the sign of the thing algnitted; and any putting of the figure for the fact Is a complete reversion of the faou typlfled by the ark. First iu the ark, then in tbe water; first in Christ and then in baptism. Baptism ia not essential to BalvAtlon, but salvation ia essential to baptism; and baptismal salva-tion ia Christianity backwards. Hence we are bap-tized for the remisalon of ains became of, not in order to, the remission of sins. Our slna are remitted, in the Ark, through faith and by the blood; and bapth-m externally •ymboll/.w and declares tbe fact already existent, and eo putaon Christ, iu whom wearesavtd, by » public profeaaion. This ia "the annvir of a good conacience toward God;" and thia is all the cauaal or efflcacioua tlTeot produced in the believer.

11Y J H MOODV, D-D. No. V.

O n I he same principle of spir i tual in terpre ta t ion I see in the insti tution of the S a b b a t h ( G e n . li. 1 ) * not only a literal seventh d a y of rest, but also a greater spiri tual mil lennial day of rest, " f o r the people of G o d . " < Heb. iv. 5 t n , Th is typical day of rest w a s not fiiltilled by the rest in C a n a a n , the promised l a n d ; for if J o s h u a had l a l the people inio the ajiti-typical rest, Dav id would not have wri t ten of it m a f te r centuries as still unat ta ined . Nor would the writer of the Hebrews have concluded that it was still f u tu re and yet to be attained I believe the six d a y s of labor will soon close, and that the long promised lest will soon be realized by those w h o " d o not come short of i t ." ^"Let us therefore earnest ly endeavei to enter in to that rest, tha t n o one m a y fall af ter the same e x a m p l e , of disbelief." W h e n we keep it, n j t according to the oldness of the letter, but according t o the newness of t he spirit , we show retrospectively that G o d rested f r o m his labors on the seventh d a y , and prospect ively, that on a seventh d a y " the re r e m a i n s a Sabba th re t fo r the people of t i o d . " As J e h o v a h G o d kept it with m a n in the type, so will J e h o v a h Jesus keep it with m a n in the .uiiitype. As in the type there was no sin and Sa tan t o molest , so in the anti tyiie S a t a n will be bound and paradise res tored. (Rev . x x ) . How upl i f t ing and life-giving is such an obse rvance! How burden-some the letter ( o n l y ) that kills; how de l igh t fu l the Spirit u l s o ) that makes alive. ' Remember the S a b b a t h day t o keep it ho ly . " C e a s e f r o m y o u r six d a y s of hibor. Look back at J e h o v a h resting wiih m a n in the beau t i fu l juvenile ea r th . Look f o r w a r d to J e h o v a h rest ing wi th m a n in a rebeautified and re juvenated ea r th .

"That better day is coniing. ttiat murnin); promised tons, Wtien Rirded Kisht, witli lioly Migtit, will overtlirow tlie

wrong, Wtien God tlie Lord will listen, to every plaintive sich. And stretcli his hand o'er every land in justice by and by.

The boast ol haughty Frror, no more will fill the air. But Age and Youth will love the truth, and spread it every-

where! No more from saints and Martyrs will come the hopeless cry; For wars will cease, and pertect peace will flourish by and by.

Oh' lor that holy dawnini;, »e watch and wait and pray; Till o 'er the helKht the morning li^ht shall drive the Rloom

away; And when the heavenly glory shall l lool the earth and sky. We'll bless the Lord lor all his Word, we'll see him by and by.

We shall not always labor, we shall not always cry; rhe end is drawing nearer, the end for which we sigh; We lt lay these heavy burdens down, and rest us by and by."

Thus we may keep the Sabbath not in oldness of letter (only),but (also)innewnessof spirit. Unless the vail is lifted from the mind and heart and Script-ure, we will not see "the Lord the Spirit" in the or-dinance of the holy Sabbath. The letter only is burdensome, but the Spirit makes it delightsome.

The third chapter of Genesis gives an account of the temptation and the fall. Can we not find "the Lord the Spirit" in that narrative ? Not in alt the details of it, but in the heart of it. The Lord was in the temple, not in the nails and curtains and other min-utiae; but in the sacrifices of the outer court, the blood and shewbread and candlestick of the inner court, and in the High Priest, ark, and shechina of the Holy of Holies. The other things were but helps and pointers directing the "comers" to where the Lord was revealed. So all parables and figures and types and narratives have their curtains and fnnges and ornaments to decorate the place and person of the revealed Lord. In the old Scriptures, let the Lord be recognized in every appellation of the Father, for he was with the Father before the beginning, in the beginning and from the beginning.

But especially note that "Christ manife&t in tbe flesh" IS revealed in the promised seed of the woman. (Read also Isa. vti. 14; Mic. v. 2, 3; Matt. 122 -25 ; Luke i. 3t^5S; Gal. Iv. 4) . According to one's faith and power to interpret,"let him also, if he can, discern

"the Lord the Spirit," in Adam taking upon him the fallen state of his wife, as C^irist took upon himself our lives (Rom. v. 12 19); also in the "skins" of the sacritices, which sacrifices pointed to the Lamb of God; also in the flaming sword which turned every way to keep the tree of life; also in the excla-mation of Eve: "I have gotten a man from the Lord;" or as some th ink -1 have gotten a man, even Jeho-vah; uttered in her haste to realize the ftilfillment of the promised seed, which is here in the singular number, and referred to by Paul in Gal. iii. 16.* The same promised seed was reiterated to Abraham, and was to come in the line of Abraham (Gen. xxii. 18 Sept), ol Isaac (Gen. xxi. 12 Sept; Rom. ix. 7), and of David (Ps. cxxxii. 11; Luke i. 09; Acts iL 30). I his seed referred primarily to Christ, and seconda-rily to the children God gave him (Heb. ii. i J 18). I hrough Christ primarily, and the seeds (plural )— the spiritual children of Abraham, (iod had promised to bless all the nations of the earth. When Christ ( Luke xxiv. 27) began at Moses and all the proph-ets, and expounded unio them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself, showing that it be-hooved him according to the old Scriptures to suffer these things and to enter into his glory, who can doubi that he expounded the Scriptures in a way similar to the inspired exposition given in Hebrews; revealing himself in unexpected places, especially expounding the sacrifices as typical of his sacrifices. If so, may he not have gone back in Moses to the third chapter of Cienesis, to the sacrifice that Adam made, and to the skins of those sacrifices with which he hid his nakedness, and to the excellent sacrifice of Abel, by which he obtained witness that he was right-eous, and by which he being dead yet speaketh.' (Heb. xi. 4 ) . Is it not right for us to search what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in the prophet did signify, when it testified be-forehand the sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow.' (1 Peter iL I t ) .

I am afraid that some will stop their ears and turn away from the truth, because such interpreta-tion as this is "fanciful." It may not be in many particulars correct in application, but that this prin-ciple of interpretation is correct will be shown by much that is to follow, and which cannot be gain-said, because inspired. But 1 must strive at brevity or I will write a book on the first division—the Let-ter and Spirit. I can only tap the Scriptures here and there, but I will try to do it at safe and sure places, so as to invite and not divert attention and interest. In Gen. ix. 6 and Jas. iii. 9 I would call attention to the Spirit of the letter. "Whoso shed-deth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God made he man." "There-with bless we God even the Father; and therewith curse we men which are made after the similitude of God."

The law—"Thou shalt not kill," and thou shalt not injure thy neighbor, may be kept In letter and not in Spirit. I may refrain from killing and curs-ing a man through fear of the law, and thus keep it in letter. But "the law is also Spiritual" and "the Lord is that Spirit." So when 1 regard man as in the likeness of Christ, and Christ as the image of God (Heb. i. 3) , and refrain from violence because of that fact, then I keep that law with respect to God, and I respect and reverence my fellow-man because he bears the divine image. A man that kills his fel-low-man ought not to live, "For in the image of God made he man." Obedience is Spiritual when it is Christ-ward, God-ward. By the Spirit, through the Son, unto the Father (Eph. ii. 18). Whether we eat or drink or whatsoever we do, let us do it to the glory of God. Let us cultivate this Spirit of obedience until it reaches to the minutest details of life, even to the "Whatsoever."

[ • I tiave before me a wonderful^ book—"Tbe Memorial Name," by Alex. Mic Whorter, ind ' lntroductlon by N. W . Tiylor , both of Yile. (Gould & Lincoln, Boston). He shows Ihit Jehovah, translited Lord, Is f rom Yihveh. and that Ex. Ih.t4—I am thai I am, I am hath sent you, should r u d : I Will Be Who I Will Bet I who will be hath sent you, etc.

He says on page 23: "With respect to the exegesis ol the term Jehovah, so far as the interest ol criticism is concern-ed, all scholars are now agreed." He says on page ix "It was natnial that Eve should expect to witness in her lifetime the realization of the promise. Filled with this expectation, it was natural that, looking upon her first-born, she should exclaim: 'I have received Him, even Yahveh'—'even He Who Will Be I'—and that she should have believed him the promised Deliverer. That she did so believe, the record, lit-erally Interpreted, leaves no room to doubt." On page 3o he says this name. Yahveh, is a proclamation, a promise, and a prophecy of Christ; that it represented the expecta-tion ol the world: that this txpectation of a Deliverer finds its source In the First Great Promise or Prediction, that the beed ol the woman shall bruise the Serpent's head; that it was applied by Eve to her lirst-born—transferred to G o d -invoked by the Patriarchs-^allirmed by Moses-proclaimed by the Prophets—complete in Christ."

1 add this suggestion. II the name was delivered to us in the Christ or Messiah, is not the idea ol Yahveh still retain-ed ? True, he came in the llesh, but is he not yet to come in the glory of the Father ? bid not his first coining assure us ol his second ? Is he not to us -He Who Will Come ?1

VI. The flrat direct reference to liifnut baptlHin Ib fouud

In the wrltlugB of CyprUu of Carthage, A. D. iW. He waa • violent, arrogant mau. He defended and maintained many vlewa contrary to tlie Scripturea. At thia time there waa a council in aetBlou iu Carth-age compoeed of WJ blahopa. One Fidus 8eut to the council thia question: -Whether au infaut, before it waa eight days old, might be baptiJied, if uefd re-quired?" The following la the reply of the council: ••Cyprian aud the rest of the biuhopa who weie preaeut at tbe council, Blxty-alx Iu number, to Fidun, out brother, greetlng-We read your letter, moat dear brother, lu which you write of one Victor, a prieat, etc . . . But aa to the case of infants. Whereas yoti Judge that they must not be baptized within two or three daya after they are born; and that the rule of clrcumclalon toto be obaerved, HO that none ehould be baptised and aanctifled before the eighth day after he ia born, we were all In our aaaembly of a contrary opinion. For as for what you thought fitting to be done, there wa« not one that was of your mind, but all of UB on the contrary, judged that the grace and mercy of God la to be denied to no pereon that ia born. For whereaaour Lord In his goapel aaya, "The Bon of Man came not to deatroy men'a aoula, but to save them; as far aa Ilea In ua, no aoul. if poaaible, la to be loflt." (Eplatlee of Cyprian, LVIII , Sic. 2 )

1 It to Bignlflcant that the flrat refetence to Infant haptlam la not found In the Bcrlpturea, but In the writings of an African blahop, more than 250 j eara after Chrlat.

2 Cyprian makes no appeal to the wrltlnga of Chrhitor theapoatlee, but to the old rite of clrcum-ctolon. It was alao an unaet tM matter at what time the child ahould be baptised, ahowing that It waaa new thing. Aiid there la no recommendation to practice Infant haptlam aa a rule, but only In the case of necessity.

Farrar aaya: "All that la dlallnctlve lu hhi exegeela is vitiated by the faUl fault of unreality. He reads au ecolealMtlcal tradition Into the Scripture aa It pleaaea him." (Hlat. InterpreUtlon, p. 181)

8 The ground ot defence waa that the Infant waa loBt without bapUam. I t la upon the dogma of bap-tismal salvation that this rite was Instituted, and up-on It that It reita to day. If j r o •ccept Cyprian aa a proof of Infknt baptism, we must also acwpt him aa a proof that bapUam Is necessary to salvation.

Baron Bunsen says: "Cyprian, and some other African bishops, his contemporaries, at the close of the third century, were the first who viewed bap tism In the light of a washing away of the un veraal sinfulness of human natnre, and connecting thto Idea with the Old "ftstament ordinance, ctrcnmcUlon. i r the sin to be washed away were not as mnoh that ac-tually oommlttwl aa original heredlUry sin, a new horn child might certainly as well be baptlxsd as one Rrowing up; or rather, It would be the most natural w d s i f t i thing to doso. Indeed, Cyprian thought S e i w n d d a y safcr than the eighth, which some of hla biethwn p f r f t e w d , « being wialo^os to the law leroeoUng clioamelslon.

infant diea before It to baptixed It wUl be lost; and for this reason It la urged that lUi baptism should not be delayed until the eighth day of Its birth. The ground on which this monstrous declalon is based are far from being clear, conalatent, aatlafactory or steady. {Southern Review, vol. 14, p. 847 ) • „ »

Of Tertulllan, Origen and Cyprian, Richard Baxter aaya: " T h o * who lived in the second and third centu-ries. do affirm that in the primitive times none were baptized but such as engaged themselves to obey him." (Saint'B Uast, ch. 8 )

Although Cyprian held these views, his views were by no means held by the majority of Chriatiana. Dyonealua of Alexandria, the followluK year, 254, writeato Sextua, Blahop of Rome, and teatlllee that It was their cuatom to baptlza upon a profeaalou of faith.

We come now to one of the very etrongeat argu-menta agalnat the prevalence of infant bspt.am In the eariy Chrlatlan oenturiea. We have the recorda of many of the early Christiana, who. although they were born of Christian parentSi were not baptized In lufancy. The names of theae pereouB are aonumer-oua. aud withal so Influential, that It ia a great point agalnat Infant baptlam. From time to time mention Hhall be made of many of theae Chriatlaua.

The Emperor Conatantlne waa bom A. D. 274 Hla f a t h e r waa favorable to Chriatlanity, having renounced tbe Idolatroua worehlp of the Greeka. (SocratcB' ^ c l . Htet., B. I., c. 11., p. 8 ) Hla mother waa a Welsh lady by the name of Helen. She "fllled the whol« world with her munificent acts In support of religion; and after erecting churches, and travelling from place to place to evidence her zeal, dlea before her eon, aged eighty years." (Mllner'e Church Hlatory, vol. 2, pp. 4142) Theodoret. who lived near the time of Con-stantiue, aaya of Helen, that her 'piety waarever-enced by all" and that ahe was "most highly blessed In her maternal capacity, having been the means of producing that great light which ahe still nourlahed by rellgloua counaela." (Eccl. Hlat. B. I., c. xviU, p. 48 ) Yet Conatantlne waB not baptized in hla lufancy but delayed It near hlB dying day. (Bocratea. B. I. . c. xxxlx) _ ,

The Rev. A. C. Zenoa, commenting upon the bap-tit^m of Conatantlne, aaya: " I t waa the belief of many in the early ages of the church that bapUam bad a certain magical power purging away the ains previous to It, but having no force aa regarding those that might follow; this led many to postpone their bap-tlam until dibeaae or age warned them of the nearneao of death; auch decayed baptlam wai called clinic baptlam, and waa dlacouraged by the more Judlcloua and aplritual minded Fatheni, some of whom doubted i u validity and rebuked those who delayed aa actn-ated by aelfl^hneaa and dealra to Indulge In aln." (Poat Nlcene Fathera, vol. 2, p. 85, note)

Hugh Grotlua remarks: " I t la no small evidence that Infant baptism was not usually practiced In the Greek church during many centuries, because COn-stantlne, the Great, the son of Helen, who was a zeal-ous Christian, was not baptized until he was ad-vanced In years."

I t is also a fact that the sona of Constantlne were not baptized In their Infancy. Gibbon says of them: "The sons of ConsUnUne must have been admitted from their childhood Into the rank of catechumena; but they ImlUted, In the delay of their baptlam. the example of their father. Like him they presumed to pronounce their Judgment on mysteries In to which they had never been regularly Inlttated." (Gibbon's Dscllne and Fall, vol. 2, p. 828 )

A sUonger argument, than that of the del*y of bap-t l smln thecMe of Constontlne and of his sana, can scarcely be conceived agalnat the general prevalence of Infant baptism In this century.

Amoblus, A. D. 280. Professor of Rhetoric at BIcca, says: "Thou art not first baptized, and then begln-neat to aflect and embrace the faith; but when thou art to be baptized, thon signlflest unto the minister thy desira, and makest thy confession with thy month."

John of Damascus likewise says: "For by the three immenlons, bapUam algnlfles the three daya of our Lord's entombment Then baptism then Into Christ means that believers a n baptlWd Into him." (Expos. Orthodox Faith, o. lx.)

Ephrem Byms was bom in the beginning of the fotuth century. He,was born of parents who wore ennobled by the blood of martyrs In their famUy, and had themselves both confened Christ before the piesentois onder Dlodealan or his racoewrs.

B p h n m Byms says of himself to his Confcsalons, "When I sinned, I waa already • partaker of gnce : I bad been early Unght about Christ by my paients. they who had begotten me after tbe flerti, had train-e d m e l n t h a f t a t o f t h e L o i d . I had aeen niy neigh, bora live piously: I bad heard of many snfltelnga tor Christ. My own paJMts wart confasaors before tha

Judge; yea, I am kindred ot the (Opp Gr. 1.129.) Equally plain to a statement In hto Byrl-ac works: " I was born In the way of tmth , w d through my boyhood understood the greatnewof the benefit, I knew It when trial came." (Opp. Byr. it. 499 ) .

"They (hto parents) consecrated Bphrem to God from hto cradte, like another Bamnel, but he was eighteen years old when he was baptized." (Alban Butler's Lives of the Saints, vol. 2, p. 84.)

Ephrem to very clear on the subject of baptism. He says: " I t was the cuatom, when any one waa bap-tized, to declare that they did foraake the devil a ^ all hto worka, adultery, etc. alao that the baptized uaed to confeaa their sins, and testify their faith, be-fore many wltneaaea."

Baail the Great was born about the year 829, Oaes-araa, the caplUl of CapadocU. In the bosom of a wealthy and ploua family, whoae ancestors had dls-tlngulahed themaelves as martyrs. The seeds of piety bad been planted In him by his grandmother, St. Macrlua. and hto mother, St. Eoaella. He had four brotheni and five stoters, who all led a religious life; two of hto brotheni, Gregory, blahop of Nyssa, and Peter, blahop of Sebaate, and hto aiater, Macrina the Younger, are. like himaelf, among the saints of the Eistern Church. He received hto literary education at flrat from hla father, who waa a rhetorician; after-wards at school in Constantinople (847), where he en-joyed the Inatructlon and peraonal esteem of the celebrated Bibanlus; and In Athens where he spent several years between 861 and 85.5, studying rhetoric-malhematlcs. and philosophy, In company with hto intimate friend Gregory NIzlanzsn, and at the same time with prince Julian the aposUte." (BchafTs Hlat. Chnat. Church, vol. 8, p. 891) He became a very learned man and was baptized by Maxtmlnlna lu the river Jordan. He waa twenty-alx years of age at the time of hto baptlam. (SchafT-Herz >g Eacy. vol. 1, p. 221 )

Baall the Great, A. D. 880, aays: "Do you demur and loiter and put oflT baptlam? When you have been from a child catechlaed In the word, are you not yet acquainted with the truth? Having been alw»ys learning It, are you not yet come to the knowledge of it? A seeker all your life long. A couaiderer till yon are old. Wheu will you make a Chrtotlan? When ahall we aee you before one of ua? Laat year you were for st iylngtl l l thto year; and now you have a mind to atay Ull next. Take heed, that by promtolng your-self a longer life, you do not q ilte mtoa of your hope. You do not know what change tomorrow may bring." (Oratio exhort, ad BaptUm Patrologluj, vol. 81, p.

Dr. Wall aaya of thto paaaage from Basil: "When I flrat copied out thto pawage to put It In thto collec-tion, I thought It to be theatrongeat evidence against the general practice of Infant bapUsm In those Umea of any that to to be found Iu all antiquity (though, It has not, I think, been Uken notice of by any of the antlpielobaptials), for It plainly suppoaes that a con-alderable part of St. Basil's auditory at thto Ume were such as had been from their childhood Instruct-ed In tbe ChriaUan religion (and conaequenUy In all probability born of Chrlatlan parento), and yet not baptized." (Hiat. Infant Bapt., vol. 1, p. 181.) Wall's reasoning Is entirely correct on thto point.

State Missions. I t pains one, after spending six years in the g i w d

old ^ a t e of Tennessee, to read such a statement aa t S following, which appeared In the BAMIOT AND RBFLBCPOBof JulyBth, from the pen of your much beloved Secretary, Dr. A. J. Holt:

" J n l v S l s t w e will owe the mtoalonaries and col-i>orlersi|l,600 We have notllOO of It Inthetreasniy. f t ^ l l U k e t S O everyday unUl July 81stto m y a p .

the college. The outlook for ntudents 1B very encour-aging,

I attended the annual meeting of the Jefferson Couuty Suuday-Bchool Convention vrhlch aoet In the Methodlut Church at 0»k Grove last week. It 1B a live meeting, being regardtd one of the beet county conventions lu Teunesaee. representing the schools of all the denomluatlonB. The Baptist repreeenUtlon was very large, three fourths of the speakers being Baptlsia There were eight Bapllst preachers In at-tendance. and I was reminded of our Associations. Prof. Carlisle of Wake Forest College was present and captured the convention with a flue speech. I was gratUlMl with the Baptist force, for I believe In going Into thc^e meetings and making ourselves felt.

I spent yesterday at Whitesburg. I spoke to a good audience ai-d got through without referrlug to Carson and Newmau. I very much appreciated the stimu-lating presence of the veteran preacher, Bro. Gilbert, uow years of age. 1 also enioyed a visit to his home, where he and bis wife live by themselves. BIO. Gilbert, during his active ministry, had a varied experience as a missionary lu the mountains of East Tennessee and Virginia. He baptized more than 4 (KM) into the fellowship of Baptist Churches. He did a great work and slill feels a growing Interest In the spread of the Kingdom. I am much Indebted to K. E. Parvin and Samuel While, as well as to Pastor McLaUi, for special courtesies.

Rev. H. B. McLaiu lias recently accepted a call to the timltbwood Church for half of his time. He Is a good preacher and pastor and U lu demand.

lu these .|uarters there Is much talk of the ap-proaching meeting of the East Tennessee S u n d a y Bchool Couvention ut Concord.

All the departmento will be better prepared than ever before, for with past experience. Increased zeal and better hopes, the faculty Intend to do the besi work of their lives.

ENDOWMENT.

We are encouraged as to the endowment move-ment. We believe In the future of our college and we all believe In President Henderson. Cold and Incon-siderate must be the Baptist who can say nay to Prof. Henderson when the present great work Is before the denomination.

I speak not now of all. Some have already given what they can. But many have given nothing, and some have given entirely <oo little. If eomeof us who, all told, are not worth «2.000 can give $400 and »500 each, why can not others whoareworth$15.00«, $20,000, $25,000 and up to $76,000 give $1,000 and $2,000 and even $5,000? . „ .

East Tennessee Is going to have a great BapUst harvest one of these days. God bless every Baptist who now sows the seed! Both sower and reaper shall some day r«j )lce together. 8- JONES.

operation of so many distant churches our city and surrounding fields of deetltutlon, It ap-pears wise and proper to form an Assoolatlou la Im-mediate sympathy with a long needed and • too long neglected work.

The brethren entering this new organlaitlon and enterprise for t he glory of the Master's common kingdom wish to assure our sister churches of the Coucord and Cumberland Assoclatlonsof our fraternal love and fellowship and pray their recognition and correepondeuce. Our division is one of duty and ne-cessity, not of strife aud discord. We divide in order to multiplicity aud strength; aud we sorrowluUy part with our brethren In bath Associations after long aud harmonious co operation in the work of our common Lord. We lo ire the brethren, especially of th® country whose hospitality aud brotherhood we have so often relished, and we solicit not only the union of each of our sister churches lu the country contiguous to us as may wish to enter our organlzitlon, but we shall ever ri-Jolce to have our brethren from the country churchiB, and of other Associations, meet with us in our sessions and participate with us in our deliber-ations.

It Is but due also to say that wa have carefully studied aud discussed the question of weakening our sister A s s o c i a t i o n s by our separation. We caunot see that this division any wh-«re hurls the cause of Christ and In view of the ability to do a greater work by our new organization, we deem the step not only wise but necessary. Our separation should only be the stlmu-lup to the Association left to do greater things, aa it Is the earnest desire and prayer of all In the new organ-ization that the old Concord aud Cumberland bodies shall accomplish grander results for Christ than ever In their union with us.

This and That AN orriNO.

It Is a rare thing that I ever hear any one preach except mynelf. It was my happy privilege to be at home Sunday and listen to a most timely and able sermon by m f pastor, Dr. Phillips. The subject was, Family Oovernmeat. Among other things the preacher said that the family Is the oldest Institution in the world and Is basal to everything that Is good In the home, society. State, church. Good fathers and mothers, good brothers and sisters, good church mem-bers and good citizens ore made In the home In the discipline of obedience and the nurture and admo-nition of the children In the Lord. There can be no shift of :duty and responsibility. Legislatures and colleges, Sunday-schools and multiplied organizations cannot take the place of family government. God has put responsibilities on fathers and mothers which cannot be alienated or transferred with impunity. The rigor of Puritanism Is preferable to the laxity of our degenerate times. The sturdy loyalty to church and to State in the early hls'ory of our country came of the rugged, uncompromising spirit in the fathers and mothers antedating the days of the Revolution. A strong plea was m i d e for family discipline and religion. At the close of the sermon Prof. J . T. Henderson prayed a most fitting, tender, edifying prayer. It Is gratifying to see such good and appre-ciative audiences during theBe hot days. Dr. Phillips is one of our broadest, truest and best thinkers. Tue church has greatly grown under his ministry. 1 am sure he Is always accepUbleto thinking aud pious hearers, of whom there are not a few in our church.

AT NEWPORT.

Last week it was my fortune to unite in holy wed-lock Mr. John Seaborne and Miss Addle Busong of Newport. Mr. Seaborne is. one of the leading busi-ness men of that olty, while Miss Busong Is one of the most cultivated young ladles in the South.

Newport will be paatoriesa after the third Sunday in August. Such a noble and capable and cultured people deserve » flrst-clasi resident pastor. I t has been my privilege to euppiy for them for several y e a n . They have reached the point tha t they must have • paatot among them.

To the Baptist Brotherhood of Sister Associations. Greeting : By appointment the undersigned commit-tee were instructed to make a public presentment of the fact that a new Baptist Association had been con-stltuted in the city of Nashville. A call for a confer-ence on the subject originated in the Cumberland As-sociation at Its last session, looking to the advisabil-ity of dividing that body on account of Its extensive territory. After several conferences, InvlUtlons were extended to a number of churches in the Cumberland and Concord Associations to send delegates to a meet-ing to be held July 2Brd at the Baptist Bunday-school Board Rooms, with InstructlonB to act in the prem-ises. The delegations of a number of the churohee of both Associations from Nashville and vicinity met pursuant to the call at the appointed time and re-solved themselves into a new Association to be com-posed of all the Bapttat churches of Nashville and contiguous territory which nilght be willing to enter the organization. Among the churches represented, the First, Central, Third, Immanuel , Seventh and North Edgefleld Baptist Churchee acted according to Instructions and entered the body, while a number of other churches present by delegaUon await further instruction and will enter the organlza ion later.

The body thus constitutkl a<U)urned to meet with the Immanuel Baptist Church Sept. 27,1000, in order to complete the organization. A committee, consist-ing of L J . Van Ness, B. E . Folk and R. C. Fields was appointed to draught a ConsUtution and By Laws, also articles of faith, by which the body should be governed. This Committee is also to give a name to the body.

Having sUted the call and facta regarding this new organlz itlon. It is but fitting that the reasons for ito Institution should be given.

1 The Nashville cburchea belonging to the Gum-beriand Assoolatlon ate situated too far distant from the extreme bounds of the body to attend all ita ses* sions, aud the same is true of a number of other churches in that body so aituated. Henoe the geo-graphical necessity of division.

2 I t Is deemed neoeesary tha t the Nashville ohnrahee and vlolnity belonging to the Coucord Asaoolation should be united witb the Nashville oburohee belong-ing to the Cumberland Aasooiation and thus make one compact body about Nashville In tbe oo-operatlve work essential to this oily and commanlty.

M i s s i o n a r y M e e t i n g . Some very Interesting meetings have been held

with the churches of the Chllhowie Association with-in the last two weeks.

The following subJecU were ably discuseed: " A Century of Baptist Mlsslous," O C. Peyton; "Pau l as a Missionary," B. M. Muirell; "Ou t Boaids and Their Work," U. L. Maples;" Bible Giving," J . M. Anderson.

These brethren have given t ime and thought to their work, aud delivered their speeches with telling effect. Anderson's speech ou "Bible Giving" la pro-nounced by all who have beard It as being one of . the best ever heard on the subject. He makes a very strong plea tha t the Lord demands of all His people one-tenth of their Income. Converts were made all along the way and others left " seeking."

Brethren Hall , Bnow, Cat le t tand others were pres-ent on different occasions aud made good speeches.

The congregations were not very large a t any of the points, but were fairly good considering the bbsy t ime of the year with farmers. A cordial welcome was shown us among all t be churohee and brethren. Dinner was served on the grounds every day.

We believe that much good will be tbe result of these missionary rallies in the Chllhowie, Tennessee and other AHsoclatlons. They will be kept up thMUghout tbe months of August and Baptember.

Most of the churches so far have good bnildings well located, and, witb a few exceptions, we l l -kep t -clean, "swept and dusted." What great things our country cburol.es could do for tbe Matter, If tbey would only try! I believe wa have a willing people to do their du ty If tbey Just knew what to do. The Lord grant tha t we aud they may do our duty .

Asa Routh, p r ^ h the un-searchable riches of Christ, of raising a sufllcient fund to e r e c t a nice monument to hta grave. Can' t you hear him saying, " 'Tls by grace ye are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; It la thegi f t of God?" Now, brethren, remember bow the J e a r old father plead a t a throne of mercy that you and I and our children might be heirs of a King and have a home lu heaven. Anyone wanting to aid in this noble cause can send it to me at Bluff City, Tenn., or band It to me a t tbe AaeoclaUon and a receipt will be g i v w .

O u r E d u c a t i o n a l O p p o r t u n i t y . There seems to be a movement all along tbe line by

Pedobapttat friends looking towards a higher Intel-lectual aa w e l l a s moral development of the children of the friends of these churohes. Thta, the education-al ta essentially a popular movement, aud one tha t no churob or class of society can afford to ignore, or even slightly consider. I t ta a useful as well as a pop-ular Idea. I t may be tha t our Methodist friends propose to take advantage of It, aud the occasion to botater and Infuse new energy Into a waning naem-berahlp. The peculiar doctrine may need more of thta to aupport their ever varying dogmas. Their zeal and energy command much respect, and a t the risk of being called imitators, Bapttata cannot afford to be in-different or idle on this subject. Confident of correct chnrob polity and fundamental belief-, tbey have o n l y to teach tbe laity their du ty educationally, and then develop their mighty agencies, financial and churob powers, and such resnlts as Bapttata may wtah In the way of correct Christian education will

' ° H w e v e r , there seems to be too much InacUvity among the Bapttata of Tennessee Just now, ao far as funds a n needed for the better equipment and greater usefulness of our Bapttat collegea and high acbools. On this line they seem to have lapsed into a state of Inactivity which ta to be regretted.

Among other Chrtatlan churohea. notably our American aud English Metbodtats. Juat now there ta great activity, from layman to bishop, looking to tbe Ingatherings of large funds to be used In building and strengthening the great bulwarks of their ex t a t enw^ their denomlnaUonal schools. They are fortunate In the conception and thue. I t ta a glorious occasion to d t a p l a y gratitude to God for tbe wonderful bleeslngs of the past century. Their fervency will produce most gratifying resulto to their cause.

The most Impressive question ta. Has H e favored them more than He haa tbe Baptists 7 A parallel re-view would, it cannot bo gainsaid, show tha t Bapttat doctrines and principlee have made more substantial progress than any other denomination, aud tbe mem-bership of thta churob Is as able and as ready to re-spond to any financial and other demands tha t neces-aity would suggest in the way of promoting and aup-porting the educational, which ta among the greatest interests tbe churob can foster.

I n other denominations we find men of much char-•cter and great persuaaive power closely canvassing all t be realms of their churohea, putt ing forth earnest and successful pleas for money to build up their achoois. Their popular idea ta so much per oapUa, based upon tbe urgency of t b e cause, and which will in due t ime be forthcoming, though the aggregate

' may eeem a stupendoua sum. There ta a movement on loot for tbe Bapttata of East Tennessee to ratae an endowment of f100.000 for Carson and Newman Col-lege. That Inatltutlon, good as It now ta, cannot do Ita proper work with current IkoillUee. Tbe 78,000 or more Baptislfl of East Tennessee can lift that achool " away up yonder" wi tb an effort so small that It could not be called any aacrifice, and then do aa muoh more for the four aucceBsftal correlated high schoota now eatabllshed through thta section.

1. Denominational Papers. Grate-ful recognition is made of tbe courtesy ot the denominational papers in pub-lishing all communications sent to them by tbe Secretary of the Board. But whatever may be done through our denomination^ papers, there will always be a need and a place for some still more direct cjmmunication with many of our constltueuts than Is p:.s-sible through the general denomina-tional pipers. Tne I/ome Field is published by tbe Board for tbi* pur-pose. It does not come in any way into competition with tbe regular de-nominational pipers. It is hardly more tiian a little bulletin , eeat out at a nominal price to call special atteution to the needs and tbe work of tbe Board. At tiie same time, it goes to those who read it with a directness, and witb an appeal for support, which could not be realized in a paper not made up entirely of Home Mission matter. I t goes from the Board with something of tbe directness of a special letter for tbe accomplishment of a special purpose. Durhig the paat year an average of 13,500 copies have been printed monthly. Besides the value of the little paper as a special means of communication with ao many thou-sands of our people, It bas saved to tbe Board In free transportation on tbe railroads a very oanalderable portion of the coat of publication. 11 has been felt recently that. If an arrangement can be made for tbe publication of the little paper Jointly witb the Bunday-echool Board, it can be easily given a much larger circulation, and made, more efQoient In every wsy, and this at a relatively smaller cost. Steps have been taken looking to this end, and It la hoped that tbe plan can be •ucceHfally carried out. If tbeConven* tion approvea.

O u r B o a r d s A g a i n .

Dear Dr. Folk: I beg to ask If It is a fact tbat most of tbe delegates to the Boutbem Baptist Convention come di-rectly from tbe churchcs Ui tbe sense tbat they. In any way, represent tbe cburobee In tbe Convention?

Is It not a fact that tbe constitution al law of the Convention, In Its specifl-cation of delegatee composing the Con-vention, Ignores the chnrohes?

Is It not a fact that no cburobee ever appoint delegates to represent their will In the Convention?

Is It not a fact that Individual breth-ren who contribute |260 to the Conven-tion may appoint one of their number as a delegate on tbe basis of tbe S250? Or is It not a fact that Baptist bodies may appoint delegates on tbe basis of 1260 and not cburobee?

Is It not a fact that tbe Btate Boards appoint brethren as delegates on tbe basis of 1250?

Is It not a fact that tbe Dhitrict As-sociations appoint delegates from their own membership regardless of the cburobee?

Is It not a fact, therefore, that ac-cording to the Constitution a churoh contributing $250 would not have the right to appoint a delegate to tbe Con-vention? And Is It not a fsct that If a delegate were to come to the Conven-tion with his credentials direct from the chnroh be would be refused, though his churoh had given the $250?

Is It not a fact that a churoh. If It w e n to give $200 to Foreign and Home Missions, could not ooKipente with the Convention In the work of ml«lons? And Is It not a fact that If a chnroh w e n to give tbe 1250 r e q u M by the Conetltntlon It cou!d not W o p e m t e with the ConvenUon In the work of missions as a chnroh?

Now I n i se t h e n questions, not so mnch In the spbrit of criticism, but for the sake of Infbrmatlon and helpftal dltcnsslon.

Is It not true that while we believe that the ohurohee should be superior In authority to oonventlons, U It not a fact tbat In the conduct of fiome and Fbnign Missions theohnrahee have no power whateveiT

Is It not a fact that a ohuroh ot any given number of ohurohee a n so die-connected from onr methods of con-ducting the mtalon work that thqr have not the least authority In direct-laitbemNtrkT

fa It not a flaet tbat owing to tha t250 bnato of membMrshlp n nujoclty of the ehniehaa oooid not co-openta with t i n

ConvenUon even If tbe messengers of the Convention were directly appoint-ed by tbe churches?

Will you be kind enough to answer theee Inquiriet? What is needed a right understanding of the relation of tbe churcbea to tbe Boutheru Baptist Convention, an Independent body do-ing tbe work of Home and Foreign Mis-sions. Tbe Convention has written high the slogan, "elicit and combine and direct the energies of the whole denomination" in tbe work of mis-sions. Does tbat Include tbe church? Perhaps ltdoes. Then, if thechurcbes are to be combined In a work are tbey to have any authority in directing the work? Does tbe combination of tbe churches Involve their authority In tbe thing In which tbey are com-bined? Ordoes tbe trite slogan, '•elicit-ing and combining tbe energies of tbe denomination" simply mean tbe vari-ous Individuals composing tbe denom-ination regardless of the churches in their organised and independent c v paclty? If It does, then tbe question is asked: Did Christ give tbe com-mission to disciple and baptize tbe nations to the churcbea or to individ-uals regardlesb of tbe churcheb? Or did he give tbe commitsion to disciple and baptIM to an IndependentConven-tlon composed of individuals over which tbe cburobee have no authority to control or direct? Let us have tbe New Testament authority tbat puts tbe commission In tbe hands of an in-dependent Convention for dlFCipliug and baptizing the nations which has a money basis of membership of |2-iO per member.

But, If we agree tbat tbe sole New Itetament authority for dlsclpiing and baptizing Is In the cburobep, theu should not tbe cburchee exerolse that authority?

I t bas been repeatedly said by repre-sentatives of tbe Convention tbat the Convention dow not so muoh its smell of jburobly authority. But tbe Con-vention Is dlsclpiing and baptizing, that is Its chief work. Therefore, we have an organized body that does not so mnch a s s m e l l o f c b u r o b l y authority doing tbe exact work tbat Christ com-mitted to tbe churches. Inasmuch sa the Convention does not smell of eccle-slastlcalauthority. It follows, therefore, that tbe persons dlsclpled and baptized and organized I n t o a congregation by tbe authority of tbe Convention have not so much as the smell <jf churohiy authority upon the hem of their gar-ments. Tbe Convention selects Its own mlislonaries, says bow much tbey will pay them, appolnta them to cer-tain fields, dismisses them when they think It advisable. Tbe missionaries make tbelrreporta to the Convention. The cburobee have only one thing that they can do, and that Is to pay money Into tbe Convention and then not al-lowMas churohes to represent their money. Many brethren have taken the position that tbe commission wss given by Christ to Individual disciples and not to the cburobee and, therefore, the authority to disciple and baptize Is not In the hands of tbe churches, but In the hands of Individual disciples. This theory 1> consistent with tbe methods of tbe Convention and tak»s away all churohiy'avitbority as being necessaty to disciple and baptise. They go so fhr as to bold tbat an unbaptlsed person has tbe authority to bapUse and that a churoh Is not essential to scriptural baptism.

Now, It seems to me. rigbt here Is when the trouble hi to be found. If Indlvldoala have New Testament au-thority for dlsclpllDg, then our Oon-ventlon system la all right, but If the authority was given to the chumbe*i, t h m thataathority casnot be ddegatad to an cntslde IndapendMt oiianlia-tlon. Bo m y !>>•• la ' tooamabMkYo IheohundMS and M th* Coannt lon 1

and Boards be tbe agenciee of tbe churohep, authorized and controlled by the cburobee. We are too far away from tbe cburchee. We cannot bring them up to our machinery, but can bring tbe machinery back to the churohes and the leas of tbe machin-ery the better.

I t bai been admitted tbat not more than two-fifihs of tbe churohes are do-ing anything for Home and Foreign Missions through our present Conven-tion plans, and we have been t r j ing them for fifty-five years. As said, tbe basis of membership In the Convention practically makes it impossible for a large majority of tbe churches to co-operate in the work.

But enough has been said In this ielter. I iibali continue to do as I have in tiie past, encourage tbe cburobee to give for the work, but It is bard for a fellow to work a plan when It Is against his conviction and one which he be-lieves to be contrary to tbe Scriptures.

The Word and 11%, of Kansas City, Mo , edited by Revs. Hunford M. Brown and R. K. Maiden, has snccetsfuliy maintained Its existence four yean, and starts enthusiaiUcaily on the fifth year with a subscrlp Ion list of 10,000 subscribers.

Rev. Geo. E. Burlliigame, formerly of Ciiuton, Ky., has been tbe acting pastor of tbe church at Dundee, 111., for nine months. He recently closed a gracious meeting, which resulted in twenty-four additions to tbe cburob by baptism.

Dr. B. P. Riley of Athens, Ga., bas been called to the care of tbe P i n t Cburob, Houston, Texas, and It Is confidently believed that he will ac-cept. His remo/al will be a great loss to Georgia and a great addition of strength to Texas Baptists.

Rev. J . M. Gaddy recently assisted Rev. A. E. Baten in a wonderful re-vival at Brownwood, Texas, Which resulted in 44 additions to the cburcb, 28 by baptism. Many discourses on distinctive Baptist doctrine<« were preached during the meeting.

Rev. I. Newton Penick of Mariin, Tenn., wiio itas lieen in poor health for tbe past few wevks, has been granted a leave of absence by his churoh and, with his family, has gone to Dawson's Springs, Ky. Bro. Penick was never more popular with his people.

We sadly cbroniclQ the death of Deacon I. M. Wrinkle of McKensie, Tenn , which oocurrfd last Bunday at 8 p .m . Bro Wrinkle was a pillar of strength to tbe Lord's cause at Mc-Keiizle and will he sadly missed. We extend heartfelt sympathy to tbe sor-rowing loved ones

Dr. Heagie, dean of tbe South-western Baptist Unlvereity, Is spend-ing his vacation at his old home In Valparaiso, Ind. He Is retting up there; and so for several Bundaye past be bas been supplying the pulpit for the La Baile Avenue Baptist Churoh In Chicago and be expecta todo oon> siderably mora p eaching up In that region, as well as lecturing and varioua other kinds of work. The t » Ball* Avenue Chnroh fai one of the leading congregations In Chicago, and tha churoh to 'ivhloh Dr. Christian of Louisville has recently been called. Of course Dr. Heagie has gtven them a sound gospel, as be always doss, and hla sermons have bean very highly apprwdated.

BIO HATCIIfE ASS(tClAri(K\. This usetl to be one of the largest Associations in

tbe State. But the organi'/.ation of the Memphis Association took off about half of lU churches. Embracing, however, such churches as the Central and Rowan Memorial of Memphis, those at Browns-ville, Ripley and Covington, with a number of strong country churches, it is still one of the best Associations in the State. It met at Covington on July isth. In the absence of Judge J . H . Estea, who has fliled the Moderator's chair for some years, but was kept away by sickness, luuQh to thP regret of every one, Bro. T. K. Glass of Brownsville was elected Moderator, S. U. Hampton of Memphis was re-elected Clerk and H. C. Baker Treasurer.

The introductory sermon was preached by Rev.

B. W. Brown upon the subject of Our Common Salvation. I t wan an earn^ t , thoughtful, gosjiel sermon.

The ministers in the Association present were: Revs. W. li, Anthony, B. W. Brown, W. R. Far. row. Humphrey B. Folk, J . M. Harlowe, Harry L. Martin, O. P. Miles, L. W. Sloan and M. H. Whltflon.

The visitors were rather numerous. Among them we noted: Brethren F. M. Blalock, A. I T . Boone, B. B. Bowen, T. J . Davenport, A. J . Htilt, W. P. Kime, 8 . A. Owen, R. E. Pettigrew, W. D. Sale, G. M. Savage, C. E. Snalth, E. Lee Siuitb, J . L. Sprolea and the editor.

With all these to take part in the various dis-cussions the meeting was quite an interesting one. Some of the best speeches were those of Brethren C. L. Andetwn and A. J . Holt on State Missions, H. B. Folk, W. R. Farrow and G. M. Savage un Education, K Lee Smith on Sandayschools, L. W. Sloan and C. E. Smith on Foreign Missions.

BrtK 0. E. Smith is our ntlmlonary to . AfHca. His speech contained a great ' deal of Information ahoot Aflrica and the AIHcans, and was very much etUoyed. H e atarta for Africa in about a month. May God's iileaslnga attend him.

Prof. B. £ . Hattoo, the new President of Browns-ViUe Female C o U e g e , p r e a e o t . 0 « did not hcve

much to say. But by his kindly manner and his gentlemanly bearing he made a fine impression upon everyone.

Brethren If . P. Hudson Edward Bourne, J . A. Sylvester and W. A. Owen made several short, pointed talks. They are among our most tictlve and intelligent laymen.

The report of the committee on digest of letters showed that there had been 110 Utptlsms last year. The Aswwlatlon Is composeti of 2,«i8l members, who gave $11,764.%.

Rev. O. P. Miles is the pastor of the church at Covington. He has recently been pouring some pretty hot shot into the saloon ranks both by tongue and pen.

The next meeting of the Association will bo hold with the Wootlland Church on Wetlncaday before the f o u r t h Sunday in July, l l H M , itov. O. W Miles to preach the introiluctory sermon.

Our home was with Dr. Gillespie. To hliii and to his cultured wife we are Indebted for cordial hospitality. It was a pleasure also to take a meal with our frlond and the friend of our father, Bro. Douglass.

TJIE yol'XdESr SiHJilEIt. CHlTord Moormau, E»«| , of Hlllsboro, Texaa, oor-

itcts tbe Btatement in our folumnB that Mr. C. P. Robertmn, of Chattanooga, ta the youngent Confeder-ate soldier, bavin« enllKted in th« 24th Georgia In-fantry August 13tb, 18(51, when 15 yeare and seven moutbB old. Mr. Moorman write*: "We have In our city and churcb a Con'ederate Holdier wlio, while eu-listed in the early eumraer, was not eworn in at the front till Nov. 11th, 1861, at the age of 14 vears. 11 months and days. He was bom Nov 16, 1840 Hts name is Hon. D. Derden. He was In Company F 15th Texas Infantry and In Pollnac'e brigade. At the close of the war of four years he had been promoted to the posllion of 3d lieutenant, and had won the sob-riquet of tbe 'Barefoot lieutenant,' a name given to him by tbe colonel of another regiment." Now if one knows of a younger soldier than this, we hope he or she will report the case.— Wc^Urn Jievorder.

Albert Carey Kstes was perhaps the youngest soldier in the war between the States. His experi-ence was most thrilling. He was bom June 17, I84it, and was not twelve years old when the war began. The day be was fourteen, June 17, he joine<l Forest's Cavalry, performing every duly reiiulred of the older soldiers.

The hard.ships and exposure of camp life were loo much for one so young, reared tenderly aa he was. During the raid that Forest made into Mid-dle Tennessee, he was taken very 111 with erysipe-las. His command left hliu at Mt. Pleasant. Thinking he would die, or, what he considered worse than death, be capture<i by the enemy, he sent his horse and all his valuables through the lines, and his commander told him "good-bye." The enemy not coming into the town as soon as ex-pected, and he getting some better, though not yet able to move himself, he got the lady at whose house he was sick to buy him a little mule. She tied hlin on the mule's back, face downward. In that weak and helpless condition he swam the Ten-ntssee River when Its waters were overflowing the banks. Still tied on his little mule, without food or water, his foot and leg swollen almost as large aa a half bushel, he made his way to Corinth, Miss., where tl)e cavalry under Forest were encamped. The surgeon said to him : " Your whole leg must l)e amputated or you are a dead man." He re-plied : " I will die then. You shall not take my leg off."

After many days he got word to his aged father, whose home was in Haywood County, Tenn,, and who had mourned him as dead, that he was at Cor-inth. Railroad tracks had been torn up, bridges burned, homes devastated, the whole country was In ruins. Sherman had marched to the sea. The only way the father could reach his child was on horseback and by swimming creeks and rivers. This he determined to do, though the distance was more than one hundred miles. Beaching Corinth, he found his child upon a pallet of rough straw, barely alive, the vermin crawling in the sores on his foot and leg. > Draw the curtain—that meeting between father and child was too sacred save for theeyeofGod .

••Home, Ikther, take me home to die." The only way to get home was on the horse the father had ridden. On that he put his child, he walking Iqr his side holding him on^with one hand and with the other htod anppoitloB bl« swollen.foot.

Home was moro than one hundred miles away. Brldgeless stroann intervened. But at last they reached homo. Tho son recoveretl. For years he had to walk on crutches. He lived, however, to bo a noble Christian man, a true soldier of the cross, a deacon In the Baptist Church at Brownsville, and for some time the superintendent of iU Sunday-school, Ho was a promlnont lawyer In Browns-ville and was l)eloved and honored by all who knew him.

Twelve years ago bo passe*! Into tho «• Great Ro-yond." But tho inlluenco of his noble (Christian life will Iw felt for all time.

or It JiOAIi'DS AUAIN.

It is not lUH-ossary for us to answer In detail mch question ol Dr. I*orler, published on another i w r o of this is-sue. They all have tho same general Ini-lM)rt. In answer to them it will l»o suindont to state a few fads with reforoiice to the roprosantation in the Southern Baptist Convention. Artlclo^^8 of tlie Constitution reads:

The Convention shall consist {I) of brethren who contribute funds, or are delegate*! ''y Baptist tiodiM coutrlbuiloK funds, for tlie regular work of tJieUMi vention, on the basis of one dele«»te for eveiy tiV> actually paid Into the treanurles of tbe BoardH during tbe tlAcal year ending the »Ulb day of April next pre-cedlUR the meeting of tile ('miventlon; (2) of one rep-resentative from each of the District Associations which co-operate with this Convention, provided that such representative be formally elected at the annual meethiK of bis DIstilot Awioclatiou, and his elecMinn certilled to the Sectetariee of the Convention, either In writing or by a copy of the printed Minutes.

Acconling to this article, any one who or any church which contributes $250 is entitliHi to repre-sentation In the Convention, anil such church may apiwlnt its own delegate, and no one has the right to say that he sliail not be seated. As a matter of convenience, it has been customary for tho State Mission Boartis to ratify the appointment of those who are elccted by their churches, s<» that all of the delegates to the Convention nrom a certain State may be put down on one pai^er. But, as a matter of fact, the State Voani always apiwlnt^ any one the church elects, provldwl the church has contrib-uted the amount of |26U, which will entltlu it to a delegate. If ever the State Board should refuse to ratify tlieapiKilntment and the matter should conio before the Convention, there Is no «|UCHtlnn iliat it would and should seat the tlologato electoii by the church.

It is always the case, however, that there are a large number of churchra which coiltributo from ?5 to f2(H>for the work of the Convention, but not enough to entitle each church to a reprewntatlve in the Convention. Inthntcuse they oimplyiiool thel^-issues—If wo may use the expression. That is to say, all of thoseamounts contributed by thechurches of a certain State a ie put into a cointnon fund and divided by I2S0, and as many delegates are ap-pointed by tho State Board as are entitled to repre-sentation on these amounts at the rate of|25(> for each delegate. In making these appointments the State Board always tries to be as fair as possible, and to distribute the appointments over the State as eiiually as practicable. Really, however, the State Boani under the Constitution has no authority to make these appointments. I t Is e.\|)ected that they will he made by the State Convention, and some Conventions do appoint their delegates. But inasmuch as most of tiiein meet some months before the meeting of the Convention, It la customary with them to refer the apiiolntment of these dele* gat«8 to the State Mission Board.'

Dr. Porter nifty object to the financial liasia of representation. Very well.', We did' the same thing, and tried to secure a numerical basis, but failed to do so. We then decided to gq with our b r e t h ^ rather than to kick out of the.traces. ^ jWe Buggeat that Dr. Porter make an s attempt at New Orleans to secure the adoption of a numerical basis. Perhaps he will be more succea^fhi than we were. As we have said, however, there are some very

^ strong reasons for the iliianclal basis. But It should be remembered* that besfdes the

financial bails every A»soclatioh In the South Ip entitled to one representativcu This repreaentaUve is elected at the annual meetlpg of the AaBoclaUpi^ composed of repreeontativea from every ^uroh In tbe Aaioolatlon. So that thia rei«eMDt«tlvecoiii«B Wvttao direct repfCWDtfttlvs ttMse o l t t t ^

When it is rememl)ered that there arealiout 1 8 , -000, white Baptist Churohee In tho South, Dr. Porter will reejjily recognlie the impracticability of every church having a repreeentative, and the n ^ M l t y of i lmltlng replantation to a group of ohnrchea like the Associations. We are glad to know that Dr. Porter propoees to continue working with the Boards.

Tim SITUA TION IN Ci//A'.4. The situation in China has brightened soiiio-

what during tho past week. On July 2«lh the Chi-nese minister, Mr. Wu, hantiwi to Secretary of Slate Hay thefoliowing telegram:

In British Legation. Under continued shot and shell from Chinese twiopn. tjulok relief oulv can pre-vent general maMsaore. [Signed ] Cono k k .

The message was not dated, tuit was said to have iwcn Mint from Pekin on July mth. Since then frequent assurances have c<»mo foim Chlnoso sources to Washington and ii indon of the safety of the le-gations, but no worti from tho mlnlstors theiiisolves.

Secretary Hay has deiiiandwl that ho be put In communlcittlon with Minister t.'ongor, and other governments have followed suit In making tho same demand with reference to their ministers. All tho European governmonts express themselves as vory skeptical In regard to the genuineness of tho dlsimtch. It is suggesletl that It was either an old one llled by Minister Conger early In tho month and held back by Chinese olllolals, and now pro-ducetl and forwartletl as tiie answer to the demand of Secretary Hoy that ho bo allowed to communl-CAte with Minister Conger, or elso it was a pure fabrication of tho Chinese governmont, the purpose in both c a s e s being to protluee confusion and dis-sension among tho foreign governmonts and so to secure delay in the retribution which the Chinese know must inevitably follow.

The storming and capture of the native city of Tien Tsin by the allied forces has also cleared up tho situation considerably. It has given tho Chinese a wholesome fear of tho foreigners and has temled very largely to check tho spread of the Insurrec-tion. Tho Chinese army has been tlrlven entirely fnun thonelghborhooti of Tien Tsin, and U retiring towards Pekln. Thoallleil forces aro not yetstrong enough to advanceon I'okin, and probably will not 1)0 able to do so until about the middle of August, or the llrht of September. Trtwips are now hasten-ing towards Tieii Tsln from all (juartors of the glo»)e, an«i by the first of September It is expwited that there will be an armyof lou.ooo men on hand. The Chinese seem to be thoroughly scared. LI Hung Chang Is on his way to IVkIn to try to (luell the Insurrection, and to treat with tho foreign gov-ernments. An edict hos been laiueti by the Chi-nes© government insisting that nil foreigners shall bo protectetl. Appeals havn also been made to France and to America for their metilation with tho |)ower». France declined except on very stringent contlitlons. i t Is understood that President Mc-Klnlcy has agreed to undertake the task of medi-ation. One thing is certain about It. Whether the empire of China shall lie divided up or not, steps will bo taken to insure the safety of foreigners in the future, and tho lives of missionaries will hereafter be much more secure than they have iieen heretofore.

P . S.—Just before we go to press the news comes In a dispatch to Minister Wu that tho foreign min-isters are to be sent flrom Pekln to Tien l^iln under escort. Also tha t the imperial government has not only been protecting them, but has supplied them with food.

It Is hoped that a number of other churches besides those represented In the meeting last Monday will come Into tho Acsoclatlon. There wore several reasons given ftir the organlisatlon of a now Asso-ciation.

1. The Cumlierland Association, of which most of the churches of Nashville are membere, la too large. It embraces at present fifty-three churches, and Is alK)ut one hundred miles in length. I t Is felt that the Association could probably accomplish more as two ImmIIos than as one.

2. Ah has been stated before in the B a i t i h t a n i » R k k i . k c t o w , It Is ext«ectwl that the Dover Furnace and the Judson Associations will go into that part of the Cumberland Association of which Clarka. vilie will be tho center.

a. By this new arrangement all of the Baptist Churches in Nasitvllle will bee ime members of one Association, thus adding uni ty and harmony and elllcloncy to them.

4. When it is renieiul)ert'<l that there are only eight Baptist Churches In this city of lOV^O In-habitants, and that adjoining Davidson County, in which Nashville is s tuateil, there la a county with-out a single Baptist Church, and another county in which there Is only ono Baptist Church, and that a small one, it will reaillly be seen that there Is plenty of work which Ilea before the new Associa-tion. We ho|H} that when organiised It will bo able to accomplish this work.

A NE W ASSOCIA TION. In accordance with a call published In the B a p -

TI«T AND RuPiiicrTott of Juno 2l8t, the representa-tives of a number of Baptist Churches Inand arounil Nashville met at the Assembly Rooms t)f the Sun-day-Bchuoi Board on last Monday morning to con. aider the advisability of organising a now Assocla. tlon. After ftili dlBCUMlon it was decided to go Into the organlxation of ft new Association, and the meeting then adjourned to meet with the Immanuei BsptlBt Church, this city, on Sept. 27th. A com-mittee wits appointed to draw up a Oonatitutlon andByLawafor4hBnew Assooiatlon and present them to the merttog In'September. The name of thfi^rganlxfttioD wHl be decided upon at that time.

So far, how-ever, we have waited in vain. But perhaps Dr. Lip^ comb was nut of the oity and f«lled to see our other editorial. We will Bend him a mtrked copy of it.

The Torn BIblo

Not very many year^ ago, thon» lived In the rastern part of the State of North Carolina JutlRc B., n man notc<l for hl9 extensive and awurate knowledge of the law, his strung common sense, his manly and ener-getic eloquence, his high sense if honor, his love of Justice; a man of large means and of line social position and influence. These advantages gave him a State reputation.

The Judge was "a fi-ee liver." l ie kept ••open house" and entertained much company. A man ofthe world, his companiona were of like mind, and oflen the rattling of the dice-box and the shulHing of the cards were kept up till long after the midnight hour, while the decantersof wine and ppirltH were fireiy imtronlml, both by hlmselfand his guests, somellmea their unsteady gait and thick utter-ance showing they had gone iwyond the bounds of tcmperance and had l)0-coroe drunken.

He was a |>atron of '•the turf." He kept race homi*8 himself, and no race of importance waa ever run in hia State that he was not preaent, betting himself and encouraging others by hia example to do so.

On one occasion, a great race was lo take place at some dlHlance Amm his home. The horses that were to compete were well known winners In many other flelds, and great Interest In sporting circles was taken In the result. The Judge, of course, was to l>e there; the hindrance that would have prevented his attendance must have been a serious one. The day came for hia departure to the race. Accoiiipahied by his colored driver only, he started in bis carriage to the |ilBce. The day was very warm, the roeds dry and dusty, and for many miles not a tree aflbrded its re-flreflblng shade. Along the road there was nothing to Interest him; he had nothing to read, and conversation with his driver eilclted oniy mon-oayliablea In return; consequently he

^ became exceedingly wcarltd by the long Joamey.

At length, thoronghiy tired, he came :o • ocanlry store ^ the road. Bide. H m , bidding hia driver to

halt, ho alighteil from his carriaiio and ontere«l the store. ••Have you anything In the way of books?" said he to the clerk. ••Anything that will relieve the twllousnesf" of my Jour-ney?" The clerk answensl: •• We have nothing but a few school iKwks —some geographloH, grammars and arlthmotlcf; these are all we have." But, on going around to the shelf on which tli*lH)oks were kept, he adde<l: "Here Is an old Bible. Part of it is torn ofl"; but I Iwlleve nearly all of the New Testament Is left." ••Well, Rive itw that," said the Judge. •'Anything Is iwtter than my lonely ride." He paid for It, entered his csr-rlagis and drove off. He openeil the iHwk; founa that part ofthe Old Tes-tament was torn, but, except a few leaves, the New Testament was en-tire. He commenced to read, hut after a few chapters threw it aside, almost with dlcgust. ••Miserably «iry stutr," said he.

But the sun grew hotter still, and he felt almost unspeakably lonely— nob<Mly to talk to, nothing to interest him in the country through which they were passing. Ho took up the lK)ok again, and this time ho opencil it at the third chupterof John. There was a strange fascination about the words. They scenieil to stand out from the printe«l page. There was authority In them such as he had never seen or felt before. ••Kxcepta man l)e born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." There was love which Go<l could manifest: ••God so loved the world that he gave hia only begotten Son." The Holy Spirit was In the words, giving them life and power; he was giving a keen edge to bis own sword; his hand had grasped hia own hammer.

As the solitary traveller rode along, with clear and startling distinctness there came up before him the wick-edness of his own heart, the necessity of a new nature, the selHshneaa of his own life compared with Him who Uld down his ilfu for others, and from the depth of his soul there went up the cry, ••<io<l bo merclfUi to me, a sinner! I cannot And will not attend this hon^e-race. I will go back to my home."

But Satan could not rclln(|uish so influential a servant without a strug-gle. "What!" suggested he; "turn back from the amusement that you havo been looking forward to so long? Give up the pleasure you have an-tlcipate<i, and go back homo to weep and grieve over your sins? What follyl What will your old friends say? What will that wickcd and witty lawyer say when he hears that Judge B, turned Imck from his attendance on the great race, because he was firlghtencd by the words of an old torn Bible bought from a country store? Be more ofa man! You will make yourselfa laughing stock."

But God's love proved too strong for Satan's malice and cunning. The Spirt took up the truth and It gave power. The strong man yielded, and, with a heart all broken up for his sins and a voice choked by hisemotions, he cried out to his driver, ••Turn your hones around and drive ,baclc home. I shall not atlend the horse-race."

The days fbllowing fbund him in hia own home earnestly seeking peace and pardon through Christ The Spirit had commenced a good work; he yielded and co-operated, and the Spirit carried It on. Not many daj-a

elaiisetl lieforo ho was lH»rn of the Spirit, reallie<l that tho Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins, aud became a useful and devoted fol. lower of Him who bore his sin In his owr body on the tree.

An Anoccloto of Spurgoon.

A man came all tho way fnim Hol-land to ask Mr. Spurgeon tho ofton-re|ieated «|ue8tlon, ••What shall I do to bosavoil?" Ho was sitting in his vestry seeing int|Uirers when tho young Dutchman came in and 8|K)ko In broken Kngllsh.

••Whoro did you wme from?" asked Mr. Spurgeon.

•'I came firom Flushing, sir, by boat."

••And you want to know what you must do to bo savetl? Well It Is a long way to come to ask that <|ue8-tlon. You know what tho answer Is: Ik>lievo in the l^rd Jesus Christ, and thou Shalt iHj sjwed."

••But 1 cannot Iwlievo in Jesus Christ."

••Well now," said Mr. Spurgeon, "I'jok hfre. I havclN.>liKve«i In Him a gcotl many yi>ars, and 1 do truit Him; but if you know something or other against Him, 1 should llko to know It, for 1 do not like to lie do-celveil."

••No, sir, I do not know attything against Him."

••Why don't you trust Him, then? Could you truHt me?"

"Yes, 1 would trust you with any-thing."

••But you do not know much aliout me."

••No, not much; only 1 know you arc a preacher ofthe Word, and i l>o-lelve you are honest, and I could trust you."

••1)0 you mean to say," said Mr. Spurgeon, "you could trust me, and then tell mo that you cannot trust Jesus Christ? You must have found out something liad about him. I.et me know it."

He stood still ami thought for a moment, and then said: ••Dear me, 1 can see it now. Why, of course I can trust him, I cannot help trusting Him. Ho Is such a blessed One that 1 must trust Him. Goodbye, sir," ho added, " I will go back to Flushing; It Is all right now."—Kr.

Thei r Applloation.

llev. Mark Guy Pearce, who has l)ecn closely identlfled with the work conducted by Rev. Hugh Price Hughes for the past thirteen years, announces his intention of taking a world-wide tour in 1001. Mr. Pearce Is fond of good stories, and among his latest are the following.

o.ie is o f a curate, who, preaching about Ziccheus, said that the tree he got Into represented "the church."

Next day one of his hearers sald,"l was very much Interest in your ser-mon yesterday! I was llstenin' very attentively for what you dinn't say."

••Oh, and what might the appllca* tion be that has occurred to you?"

"Why, Xicoheus had to come down out of that tree befbre he could go with the t^rdJesuB."

The other la o f a vicar, who re-marked, ••The Ohuroh of England lifta her h e a d - a llghthouae of the world," on which a MeUiodlat promptly replied:

Are the tears not In your eye^? I think you can searcely aee to read those last lines This father with Utile ones to support, and one Just laid away In the graveyard, gives his •• last cent" to the orphaned ones under the oare of Tennessee Baptists. It almost seemed to me that 1 profaned this holy offering by my touch!

Oh! ye happy fathers and mothers, who read of this sacriflce, you, who have enough and to spare, look at your precious ones and lighten the load Dr. Holt Is carrying by a gift to this •• sweet charity." And you, dear giris and boys, rt-J MoIng In health and happy homos, will you not send me by the flrst mall that goes out, a thank-oilterlng foi the little ones who have no home but this rtfUge the Baptists of Tennessee nnut sustain. I wish you would make a real sacriflce to do this! Or that yoii would do some real work to earn something to give to this good cause. Who will try? Let us make Dr. Holt smile even above bis wont in the next few we«<ks. Just try what the Young South can do! Let this blessed money, sent by these bereaved parents,move us all to do what we can. Swell our Orphanage Support receipts without delay. I feel sure God movi d the hearts of this minister of his to make this olTeriug In order to make us see where we were fallliig. la It not b(>7 la there one who will withhold from Him some present help?

- T h e B. Y. P. U Couveutlou at Cincinnati July 12th-15ih waa a great meeting. Tne attendance was eatl-mated at about 10,000. Among the prominent apeakers were Dts William Aahmore of China, George B. Eager of LoulBVllle. A. C. Dixon of Brook-lyn, and others. The Convention ad-dress was delivered by Rev. E. G. Gauge. F. R. A. S. C. of Eugland. Sec-retary E. E. Shivers was the moving spirit of the Couveutlon.

-Rev . William WlBtar HsmlUou recently aBBlsted Rev. W. Y. Q jlwu-berry of New Decatur, Ala , lu a meet-ing for twelve days. The church was greatly revived. During the eight mouths of Bro. yulsenberry's pastorate at New Decatur the church has re-ceived 08 addltlouB, paid off an old church debt and dedicated Its uew houae of worship. The pastor's study has beeu newly furulabed and tbs contributions for mlaalona have iu-crMaed over SOU per ceut. This Is cer-tainly a Hue work.

—The bualuess of the lat« J. R-Florida was sold at auctlou In this city laat week by the admlnlatrator. Rev. W. C. Cleveland. It waa bought by a company of which Mr. P. B. Joues of Waco, Texas, la the head. Mr. Jones ban for some years beeu engaged lu the Bulwcrlptlou book bualuess and uudersUnds It tbomughly. He will move to Nashville aud will continue the business here. He was a special friend of Bro. Florida's and, perhaps, better than any oue else, will be able to carry on bla work. He is a good Baptlat aud a hlgh-toued. Christian gentleman. We shall be very glad to have him among us and we extend to htm a cordial welcome.

—An .Vssoclated Press correspoudeut thus relates a pathetic scene: "One of the moit touching Incidents of the war In South Africa occurred this week, when Capt. Towse received the ilrst Victoria Cross bestowed by the Queen for valor In the veldt. Capt. Towse earned the diatlnctinn by at-tempting to carry off Col. Downman, who had been wounded, under hail of bullets. He was unable to do so, and lay beside him and kept off the Boers all night till help came. By that time Col. Downman waa dead. Capt. Towse was blinded m both eyes by a bullet wound. Ou Wednesday, Capt. Towse was taken to Windsor, and led Into the royal presence by hia wife, where he knelt at the f«et of his sovereign, who was so much overcome at the sight of the blind hero that her aged hands could scarce pin on the most prized of all British decorations. The (iaeen*s few words were spoken so low as to be almost Inaudible, and wheQ<-tiuaeu Victoria was led out there was scarcely a dry eye among

*tlie offlclals present."

- O n July 15th, the writer had the pleasure of trying to preach for Rev. J . B. Alexander at his Hopewell Church. After the sermon Bro. James Colson led to the altar one of Dunlap's most charmlug young ladles, Miss Mattle Smith. The pastor offlclaled In bis Inimitable way. Bro. Colson Is a young man of whom the Baptists ara proud. Ha bids fair to be a useful man. Blstar Mattle Is organist fur our

. Dnnlap Oburob, and Is a very useful - member.*' Wa giva her up reluctantly.

Bb* la the daughter of Dr. B. T. Smith, wbo Is so wall known among East

' Tennessee Baptists. At 2 p. m. the pastor preached a strong gospel ser-mon, after which the saints r»freshed In their mnnorlas tba sufflwlng and death of our Bavlor. The oollaotlon for missions was vary good.

From Oklahoma.

I have recently returned from an ex-tended trip In the western part of Ok-lahoma. 1 ttrst went to Altus, In the southern part of Greer County, to a Sunday-school Institute. It was my flrst time to meet with the brethren of Greer County Association. I waa well pleased with those I met, but was sorry I did not see more of them. Those I met were earnest workers In the Master's cauie. We had a good meeting. A great interest waa taken iu the work and I think there will be a forward move all along the line. I preached oue Sunday for Elder W. W. Marsh at Granite, Okla. Bro. Marab is pastor there aud la also our Sunday-Ruliool colporter lu Greer County Asso-ciation. What Greer County ueeds right now is houset of worship. The BaptisU have ouly oue house lu the couuty. That is at Altus. Several otlier places are struggling to build. Gud grant that they may succeed.

From Greer County I went and vis-ited several places lu Washita Assocla-tion. I found mauy grand brethren there, aud found them doing all they could for the Master's cause. I found oue brother, pastor of a church, living iu a dugout, yet they had built aud almoit completed a nice house for the Lord. Ou Sunday I preached for Elder Prultt of near Cordell, Okla. He is one of our best preachers.

Our Sunday-school work la moving along very well and we are gaining ground all the time. The Convention literature la keeping up with the real, aud the Sunday-achoola which do not uae the Couveutlon literature are com-ing to It. Our Sunday-school Conven-tion la auxiliary to the Southern Bap-tist Convention. We do not get any help ouly from It. What we need la help to develop the field. If we can get help for a few years right now, we will Boon be aelf aupportlng, and In the place of belug helpM we will be able to help othera.

Tbe BAITIST AND REKLKCTOR la a welcome vialior at our home. It Is a live paper. May It continue to rtflecl thetruth. J. L CAiiOWKLL.

A provisional committee of repre-eenUtlve men aud women from the charitable and correctional Institutions of the State should be selected to under-take the organlaatlon of the conference, aud arrange a program for Its first oesslou. After the organisation Is ef-fected, the couference should conduct Us proceedings and be free to make such plans of work as It chooses.

Although the State Board of Chari-ties will be active In promoting this organiz«tlou. It Is not designed that the conference shall have any connec-tion with the Board, but rather that It shall be an Independent body, which will exert a powerful Infiuence for good lu determining the great tiuee-tlouR embraced In the philanthropic activities of the State.

The program of the conference, with other related Information, should be published In time for the conference to be held at the beat season to ac-complish the greatest good.

'' Dortch's Gospel Voices'' rannot fail to ph'aso all musir loving pix)ple. Never sueh a book for the money. ThousJinds testify to the truth of this statt'ment.

The following are extracts from lett n-s of music teachers and ministers of the gosin^l :

Kev. Lansing Burrows, D.D., pastor of First Baptlat Church, Nashville, Tenn., says: "The rellgtouH aeutlment of the hymns selected la very high, and eo far as I can see, lu barmouy with evangelistic thought and scripture truth. I think the work will prove very satisfactory to thow who need a amall volume of new eougs at • reason-able cost."

Prof. 8. G. Tartar, teacher of vocal music, Kimble, Ky., aays: " I highlv recommend the use of this book to all teachera of music, Sunday Bchoola and <i<iBpel meetings."

Prof. W. J . Milsap. a well-known teacher of vocal music of Jennings. Oklo. Ter.says: "I have used'Goapel VolccH' 18 months In my singing •choois, and And It full of the choioest sacred aonga. Words and music are both InspliTng and in thestricteat aeniie •acred."

Kev. J. H. Snow, pastor of one of the leading cburchea, Knozvllle, Tbnn., says: "We bave been using Gospel Volcea for some time in our church and Bunday-achool. It Is an admirable book for Bunday-scboola and cburchea. The book has many good points, and for the coat I know of no better."

Rev. Geo. W. Sherman aays: " I tbink it • good song book for the Sun-day-achool and eapeoially good for re-vival meetlnga."

A. J . Timmoni, Ctodwin, Tenu., a great SuntiaT-ichool worker, saya: think Goapel Volcea equal, if not aupe-rior, to any other book of the kind that I have ezamlned."

Prof. W. F. Gerald, a prominent music teacher of Jennie, Ky,, aays: " I need tbem in my clasa. I am well pleased with Goapel Volcea."

^Carson and N e m n CoUege. j HISTORY.

In 1840, five brathteu of amftll iqmdb but of large bMtU and broad sympatblea aat In a bouae In Carson-vllle, recently torn down, and as tbey diacusaed the needa of the Baptiat denomination in East Tenneaaee, some one auggeeted the Idea of eatabllahing an inati-tutlon of learning in the oommunity. The brethren preaent wvre W. C. Newman, I. M. Newman, B. I. Newman, Prof. B. R. Bryan, and Rev. Nelaon Bowen, all of whom heartily endoraed the anggeation. Rev. C. C. Tipton came in a little later, and added bis hearty Indoraement to the meaanre. Rev. C. C. Tip-ton immediately interviewed prominent Baptlata here and there, and the acheme waa received with Hucb favor that, in a little while, thia agiUtion re-BuUed in the organiaation of "The Baptiat Educa-tional Booiety of E u t Tenneaaee."

Truateea were at once appointed, and on thel l tb day of February, 1851, they aelected a building com-mittee and two financial agenta, C. C. Tipton and

Prof. S. E. Jones, D.D., Chair o( Mathematics.

William Bogera. Thrae agents were Inatructed "to ralae money to erect buildloga, to purchace library and' apparatba,' and alao fbr endowment." William Bogera' flrat report, anbmltted Aug. 7, 1851, waa aa followa: *'To the Board of Truateea of Moaay Creek Baptiat a g i n a r y ; Dear Brethren: I report three and a haifmontha' labor, and #2,886.60 In bondB, notea, and caah In hand." The Moaay Creek oommunity contributed moat of the money for the erection of the flrat building, and the funda aecurcd by Agent Bogera were uaed mainly In the pqrchaae of booka and appa. ratua.^- '

Aa the college building waa not ready for occupancy, the achool waa opened In September, 1851, in the Bap-tiat Ohureb, with William Bogera aa Preaident and k B. Bryan aa a teacher.

Bcaroaly had the Infknt enteiprlae gotten well under way when It received a aevere blow in the deoth of Ita young, yet wIm and energetic Praaldent, which oo-oumdonNov.24. 1651.

On PwMmbsr 1861, the UoUega was ohaitarsd as

Rev. Jesse Baker, D.D., Secretary Board of Trustees.

"The Moaay Creek Miaslonary Baptiat Seminary." In September, 1852, the achool entered the new build-ing. In Auguat, 1858, Dr. Samuel Anderaon waa elected Preaident and held the poaltlon until 1857. The growing inatltution demanded additional fAcili-tiea for board, and the truateea decided in 1855 to erect two brick dormitorlea on the campua. Thia work waa entmated to W. C. Newman, and they were ready for occupancy in Auguat, 1857. During the term of I858-'5e, eighty-four young men were quar-tered in theae dormitorlea.

They were occupied by Federal troopa during the war of 1861-65, and were very much damaged. The board made out a claim of |6,000 againat the Govern-ment for the occupancy and damage of theae dormi-torlea, and our present Congretaman, Judge Henry B. GIbaon, after Introducing a bill in the 54tb. 55th and 66th Congreaaea Anally aecured favorable action by the Committee on War Ciaima and ita paaaage, in the Houae. We hope it may paaa the Senate at the next aeaaion.

During the aummer of 1800 theae bulldlnga were torn down and the brick were uaed In the erection of the girla' new home.

W. C. Newman flrat and last contributed 110,810 toward the erection of theae dormitorlea; in fkct, he aacriflced hla eatate for the College. After he had left his comfortable home near the College and had removed to the country, he continued a zealoua friend to the Inatltution, and in a cheerful mood aald: "My money'waa apent ln% good cauae."

Dr. Anderaon was followed by Bev. Mat Hlllamau, D.D., aa Preaident, and during the term of 1858-'50, the achool naatricalated 150 young men, twenty of whom were students for the ministry.

Dr. Hlllamau realgned the prealdency In 1850, and Bev. N. B. Goforth, D.D.,' was elected his successor and continued at the head of the Institution until 1862,'when the dooni were cloaed on account of the war. ' '

The school was reopened In 1866 by Prof. Bryan, and in 1808 Bev. JTesae Baker, D.D., came to hla re-lief, teaoblug in the iMhool and aervlng aa pastor of the Baptitt Church. At this tlm^ It required heroic hearts to stem the disoouragaments of the shattered InsUtnUon. Prof. BtTah's health flailed during the year and Dr. Baker was left to stcuggle with the problem single handed and alone. ' t ^ i'

In 1869, Jsisa Baker was elected Preiddent, and W. T. BusMdl uid T. B. RaassU were associated with hUn aa proflHwns. The Btusells oondnoted the Intamal worit of the school during this year and Piealdent Bakar nda 8,600 miles on bobefaack aa financial agent, securing the sum of 16.850 in cash and pledgai.

In 1870, wta«n Ptsaldaht Baker had returned to his chair ill lbs Collage and to bis pastomta, ia Mnaik-

able revival broke out fn the Church and College, In which nearly 100 aoula were converted. Dr.' Baker, feeling that he muat give himaelf to the ministry, re« signed the presidency on Deo. 10,1870, and Dr^ N^ B. Goforth waa elected aa hla aucceeeor on the aame day.' He served with abUity and aaU^lscUon untU 1882, when he tendered hla resignation, having enahrined' hhuaelf in the affectiona of hundreda of young men who atlll delight to do him honor.

In 1874 the Truateea decided to build a new college edifice and Dr. I. B. Khnbrough waa employed to ae-cure the money. Later it waa decided to purchaae a large brick building and tbe grounda adjacent ftom Major A. J. Mountcaatle. The achool aoon entered theee handsome quartera and remained there until 1802.

In 1880 the College was fortunate In receiving a be-quest by the late Hon. J . H. Carson, of Dandrldge, which amounted to ^7^000, and was designated as a permanent ministerial endowment fund. A little later I . N. Klmbrougb, of Mossy Ciraek, added $1,000, and Martha Daniel, also of Mosqy Creek, left several hundred dollars to the same purpose.

In June, 1882, Bev. B. G. Manard. D.D., was elected Preaident and entered upon his duties with charap-terlatlc energy and bright hopes. In the fall of the

:/ • •• : • • ••.'W - . ii: Prof, J . M. Burnett, Chair of Greek and Modern Languages

same year an epidemic of amall-pox broke out In the community, and the bright prospects of the Colleg^' wen blighted.

The President felt constrained to resign. Pmf. 1. J. HufT, the able instouctorln Engllah, bad Just died,, macy young men fled ta haste, and there was llttla left to encourage the remnant of the faculty and stu-dents.

However, the Institution soon rallied'from Its d^ premd condlUon. Prof. S. W. nndell, a'giadaateof Amherat and of Newton ThMloglcal InatUuUon, was elected President, the standard of scholarship Wits raised, and the schoc^ took on new Ufa. On the 20th of Auguat, 1888, he ofTered hla realgnaUon, and bti' the 25th of August, 1888, Bev. W. A. Montgomery, D.D., LL.D.. was elected President '

After four yews of hard labor on a very Inad^uaM salary, Dr. Montgomery resigned ,Uw president. He was a xsalous advocate of the ob-t^ucatlon of ^ e sexes, and dudng hla admlnlsttatl9n Carson O o U ^ and Newman C o U ^ ware united. This was dm|* ia 1889,1 and was warmly endorsed rby ihe A m ^ a i a Baptist EducaUon Society, of which Bev. Fiti^^r. Gat«s„was the Seotetary.
