BAPTIST AND REFLECTOR. The reasons whj are too numerous to specify. Two or three may be

briefly mentioned. 1. NashvlIIebtingthereaognizadEdacatlonalOenterofthoSoatli,

ts religious papers and periodicals-of which more than a dozen are pub-lished—are usuaUy eonsulted by those interasted in EducaUonal HaUers.

2. Among all these papers the Baptut aud Beflbotob is easily fore-most in the nundwr of, and amount of space gi?en to School Announeements. It follows that its columns ate attentively aoanned by parents and others having young people to educate.

—Well, we are having strikes all around us again, especiaUy in the coal regions. We hear of them in Colorado, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Vi^nia, Alabama, Tsnnessse, and In other States, Some of these strikes have been aooompsnlsd by bloodshed. It Is a pretty bad condi-tion of affairs. We do not know what wUl be the end of it. Indeed, we do not know just what is ths exact cause of these strikes. In general, how-ever, it seems to be that the employ-ers want ten hours work for ten hours pay, and the employees want ten hours pay for eight hours work. How would it do to compromise and give nine hours pay for nine hours woriit

—Womaii'i s^ffnge seeoas to be growing. In Kansss tbe Populist Con-vention adopted It aa an article in their platform. In New York a strong effort is being msde to have it incorporated In the Constitution. Also i^where it has been gaining ground. Out In Kansas when the leader of the forcee against woman's suffrage in the Populist Convention returiMd home, the i^vooates of worn-an's suffrsge met him at the depot and put a mother-hubbard and sun-bonnet on him and marched him through town. Is this an Illustration of what we may expect when woman geU her "rightat" Must the men then be forced to take to mother-hub-bards and sun-bonnetsT At any rate thisapiritof persecution and proacrip-tion shown by the advocates of wom-an's suffrage doea their cause no good.

—The Prohibition Convention of Tennessee met In this dtyon Wed-needay of last week. There was a rspresentatlve though not a very large attendance. It waa deemed best by the Convention not to nominate any oandldatea for office In the State, but to vote only for thoee oandldatea in the other pakies who would sgree to aocept the prindplsaof prohibition. In this way it waa thought a much laigar following oould be obtained for theee prineiplea than If there were adlatinctsetofcandidatealntiiefield. Whether the Convention abtsd wisely or net, time will telL Letusmakean effort, however, to rally all the op-ponenta of the open aaloon In the Stata around this principle of prohl-bltioD, no matter to what party he belongs.

The revelations made to the arch-salogist by Egypt have been exceed-ed by thoee made to him by Babylonia and Assyris. The antiquity of Baby lonia vise with that of Egypt The earliest Babylonian monumenta brought to Furope and now in tbe Museum of the Louvre, testify to the existence of an andent literary culture as well as to an extensive com-merce by sea and land. Hie diorite out of which the manumenta are carved was Imported from the distant land of Magan. the name under wUch-Midian and the Peninsula of Sinai were denoted. Some of the spoils recently excavated at Niffiur by the American expedition, the first fruits of whidi have been published by Prof. Hllprecht, are eontemporaneous mon-uments of King Sargon of Acoad, who lived as long sgo ss 8800 B. 0. But art and literature already flooriahed in Chaldtos. One of the most beauti' ful spedmensof Babylonian art is a seal which was engraved during hie reign, and he was the founder of a great library long famous In the an-nals of Babylonian literature. The rule of Sargon, however, was not lim-ited to Babylonia. Hetstablishedan empire which extended as far as the •hon» of the Mediterranean Sea. Four times did he march Into "the land of the Amorites," and eventuallT sncceeded in welding all Weetera Aela into "a single" kingdom. His son and suooessor pushed his conquesta still further, and taking the road after-wards trodden by.Ch*dor1aomer and his alllea, overthrew Che king of Ms-gan,' and so beesme master of the copper mines of Sinai.

Fifteen hundred years later a Baby-lonian king still claims dominion over Syria and Palestine, and shortW after-wards Chedor-Maybug, the Elamlte sussraln of Bsbylonla and the father of Eri-Aku of Larsa, In whom W must see the Arioch of Oeneels, Is ealled by his son **the father of the Amorito Isnd." But the permsnsnce and ex-tant of Babjionlan rule and influence In Westam Asia are most elearly n -hlblted bythe cuneiform tabletsfoand In 1887 at Tsl el-Amsma In TTppsr Egypt. T h ^ consist for the most part of Isttsis and dispatohea ad-dnased by the kings and oovemora of Bsl^lonia and Assyris, Mmopota-mla u d Kappadoda, Syria and Pal-estine, to the Pharaoha Amenophls Til. and Amenophls IV. towards the eloee o/the elghtaenth dynarty, at a time whan Palestine was a provlnoa of ths

Egyptian Empire. Iliey ahow that the Babylonian language and the complicated and difficult writing of Babylonia had long b ^ the common medium of literary Interoourae throughout tbe Weet. Though Pal-estine waa now an Egyptian province, ita offidals the anff script of Bsbylonia even in their cor-respondence vrith the Pharaoh him-self. What this msana la evident Not only dose It point to a Ipng-oon-tinned literary Influence of Chaldna upon Syria; It also shows thst t^ughout Palestine there must have been schools whnte the fordgn lan-guage and ayllabaiy were taught and learned, aa v ^ as tsachers and pupils, readersandaoribek Nay,mors: there muat have been archive ehambera In which the offidal oorrsepondenoe preserved, and libraries^ like thoee of Babylonia and Assyris, whwrethe lit-erature on day waa 8 t < ^ up. That such waa really the case we know from fragmenta of Babylonian day-books whidi have been f<^d at Td el-Amama, one of whldi had bees marked with nd ink In order to fadl-Itata Ita uae by the Canaanltish stn-drat

The booke in quedion contain old Babylonian legends, among them be-ing an account of the cvaation of man and the Introduction of death into the world. A broken copy of the begin-ning of it, written for the library of Nineveh eome 800 yean after the tab-Ida of Td d-Amama had been buried under tiie eoll, 1 found and translated eeveral yeara ago. It was a full een< tury befne the Exodue that the dty on whoee dta Tel d-Amama atanda waa deetroyed, and the tableta storsd in It lost and foigotton, ao that al' ready before the birtii of Moees Baby-lonian litsratuif and Babyltmian le-genda of the origin of man and the wnrld would have been known and atndled in Canaan aa well aa on the bankaoftiieNile.

Now it haa long beMi known that there la a Babylonian back-groiud to the earlier chaptera of Oeneds. Tim discovery of the ChaldiBsn account of tiw IMuge placed thia fact in the deareat light We have ooHy toput Uie Chaldnsn and the Biblical ao-coonta dde by dde to eae howdoeely t h ^ ressmble one another. And the leeemblanoe on tiie BlbUcal dde la shaied aUke by ti» ao-called '*Jeho-vistio" and "Elohistio" narrativsa which the critice detected in i t Be-fon dUier Jehovlst" or " Elohlst" wrote, the Babylonian storymusthave been well known.

On the other hand there are certain difftaenoea between thaBiblioal and tiie Chaldttsn accounts, which indi-cata that the former waa compoaedlB Bdestine, and not in Babylonia. Thus, far example, the drfp of the

Chaldnan Noah is vsplaeed in the Biblical narrative by a a i ^ as wodld be natural in a coontiy where great riven did not exist We cannoy there-fon,anppoeethat thaBIMInal aiwoaat waaderivedfrom a Babyhmlanaonroe In the periodof theOaptivtty.

Mrs. a. A. Lofton. President, eor Soutb Sum-mer Street Hrs. J. T. Purln. Corrtspondtnii Secretary and Treasurer. l.W N Spruce Sircct . NafbTllle. Tenn. Notes Oil Mexico.

The lubjeot of study for miBsion-ary societies for June is Mexico, and the foUowiog notes may be of some assiitance to leaders.

The republic of Mexico compriies the richest and most varied zone in the world. The area is about half the size of European Russia, and the population is about half that of Eng-land * * * All sects are tolerated in Mexico, and none is aided by the re public or allowed to acquire land. Primary education is provided and is compulsory; there are 10,000 schools. —Review of Reviewt.

The Aztecs were a proud, noble-hearted, ambitious race. At the time of the Spanish Conquest they were in an advanced stage of civilizstion. Arts and industriu were encouraged, and faithfulness and patriotism were common qualiUee among them * • * But Home, with the Jesuitical maxim, " The end justifies the means," tram-pled upon Aztec pride, and, like tbe wily aerp^t, she is coiled herself so tightly about the people as to stifle their nobility of heart and crush out ambition.

Oortez found the Aztecs worshipping HintzilipoztU, the god of war. He destroy^ the stone god and put up an image of the Virgin Mary—a change of idols, nothing more. What has been for Mexico during these three centuries of power 1 As a re-sult we have a people crushed, igno-rant, superstitious, poverty-stricken, nntnutworthy, lying, dishonest, UB-ambitioua, an unstable government, and • priesthood shameless and utter-ly degraded.—H. R. Moutey.

At present only twelve per cent, of Mexican women can read. There are now ooUeges for bc^s all over the land, but female colleges are rare. Madero Institute la a powerful factor in reaching many who would not dare enter a Protestant Church, but who are willing to run the risk of their daughteis becoming contaminated by contMt with "Protestant devUs" in order to give them educational ad-vantages in this college.

If the Christians of the United Statss do not lift Mexico up, she will help drag us down; it we will not Ch^Uanise her, she will help pagan-i u a s .

Sad But Trae. It is said that 90,000 Baptista in

Tennessee are not giving anything for missions. I am asked why are they not giving. My answer is, for several reasons. To begin with, very much of 6ur strength is in the coun-try churches, and, tad to say, they have services but once a month; also it is sad to know that the pastors ate called annually, and hence changes are the order of the day, leaving un-rest in the pulpit and in the pew. I t is the exception to the rule if there is not a debt upon the church and the pastor. The inooming pastor accepta the call and starts out with a bank-nipt church. That debt shidss oat all of otu misdonuy sstd sowing.

A church to succeed must not have any financial friction. Then whatT Make the pastoral call for an indefi-nite time, with an olTer to prepay him monthly in advance, No pastor should accept that call until the church was entirely out of debt—I mean the salary of the retiring pas-tor and ita missionary obligations. In entering into this new contract let it be understood and agreed that every member of the church was ex-pect^ to give and do something as the redeemed of the Lord.

I am asked how is the entire mem-bership to be reached. I advise, from experience and observation, to begin in the home to train in i^stem-atic living and giving, train in the Sabbath-school. Then the chorah select a man who has religion and lives it (if possible among the det-oons), furnish him with • list of the membership and ofge him to call up-on all s t a t e d for the various cauass, and m ^ laRular raporta to tlia chonhi: Tha paator o o ^ to praaoh

on missions and seal it with bis con-tribution. He ought to see to it that denominational and missionary liter-ature be all among his people. He ought not to ba afraid to talk about mooey.

I have spoken mainly of country churches, but my remarks are as ap-plicable to town and city churches. Pastors, encourage the women to work in missions and give Christian work to the young membership,

With much pleasure and interest I read Rev. O. L. Hailey's tract, "Why tbey did not join the Methodiste," loaned it to a new convert who hat not united with any church and great-ly prefers the Baptist Church, but do3H uot believe in " close com-muniou," while on the other hand be does not believe in " infant sprink-iing or pouriDg." After reading it he said: " That has made it plainer to me than ever before. Why, it isn't close communion at all, but close bap-tism." His wife, a Methodist, said: " Bro. V , I want one of those books." I sent for twenty-five and have dis-pcsed of nearly all of them. It is calculated to open the eyes of many who read it.

Brother, sister, get a copy, read it and loan or give it to some one that needs enlightenment on our doctrines. It is sound, interesting and instruc-tive and is an investment of only 10 cents. If we would read more we would be better posted.

A certain Methodist pastor makes it a business to put (if possible) their denominational paper in every family of his church. I wish every Baptist pastor in Tennessee would do this. Then we would find out what our sister churches are doing, what our missionaries are doing, and many other things that would be beneficial to know. We would be aroused to duty, would give more to. missions and the various other causes. Take a paper of your own. Do not borrow. What we pay for we most appreciate. When we make an investment we want to get our money's worth. Take t h e BAPTIST AND RERLEOROB f o r o n e year and if you do not get value re-ceived for your $2.00, I will agree to replace the 12 00 myself. Try this.

Coudltloual Halvutlon. I have just read in the last issue of

the BAPTIST AND REFLEOTOB an article from Bro. Lofton, headed Condition-al Salvation. The put port of the art-icle is to vindicate himsslf or position from an incidental reference that i made against his doctrine of election a few weeks ago. After making a quotation from my squib, as he calls it, he says:

"Tbe above is copied from a corre-spondent of tbe BAPTIST AND REFLEC-TOR, and the squib goes to show that the said correspondent, like O. M, S., tvhom he is defending, is talking about what he is not talking about-just like O. M. S. himself."

According to the above statement 0 . M. S. and the correspondent have been talking about what tbey know uotbing about, and what they said nbout election, conditional salvation, etc., goes for nothing. Dr. Lofton be-ing the judge. Now this reckless statement of Bro. Lofton's would not seem so far-fetehed if applied only to tbe correspondent, but such a grrat mtsapplicationtoaagiand and think-ing a man as O. M. S. makes a body Htop and think as to whether all Dr. Lofton says is exactly to the point or not. In my judgment Dr. Savage has said more in as few words on tha doctrine of election, fatalism and con-ditional salvation than any man. He is able to take care of himself, there-fore 1 shall notice some things that Dr. Lofton has said. He says:

"Salvation from the human side is conditional. And no Calvinist has ever denied the fact. But from the divine side salvation is neither condi-tional nor contingent, since it is de-cretively based on elective grace."

So far as I have been able to ascer-tain, no Calvinist or Arminian or any one else ever claimed that God had to comply with any condition in or-der to get to the sinner to save him. Indeed, the word condition has no such meaning. So when Bro. Lofton said salvation is conditional, and went so far as to state the condition —faith—he granted all that O. M. S. or any one else wanted who believes in a conditional salvation, to ,the ex-clusion of unconditional election. But when he put the complying with thia condition upon the decretive and elective grace he put a red mark up-on the whole of his article. Hear him:

"The sovereign God co-operates with the sovereign though d e ^ sin-ner, leads him efficiently to repent-ance, faith and regeneration," etc.

What sinner does God co operate with! Dead sinnerst Is this co-operation equal upon all sinnerst Of course not. Else all sinners would be efiiclently led through repentance, faith and regeneration. Tlien the sovereign God co operating with the sovereign sinner means none but elect sinners. This I understand to be Bro. Lofton's doctrine. If God chose from eternity some to salvation, they, according to the very nature of things, cannot be left to their own choice in the matter, for the same God who chose them predetermined the irre-sistible means to bring their salva-tion to pass. On the other hand, the non-elect are not left to their own chdoe in the matter, because the sov-ereign God doea not oo operate with tha sovaialgn non-aleot, or if he doss, it Is oo-operating agalnat his efficient

purpose. To say that God purpoeed saving certain elect and then co-op-erate with the non-elect as though they were the elect is to charge God with folly and child'a play.

Now to get Bro. Lofton's position clearly, hear him:

" Why God efficiently decreed thus to save a number which no man can number and permiaaively decreed to leam some to their clioice of death, I am unable'to say."

Now, reader, if you can find words to express hyper-Calvinism, fatalism, Hardshellism stronger than in the above, you will confer a favor upon a thousand readers by suggesting them. He says: "Why God has decreed a number to be saved and by the same decree permits some to be lost I can-not tell." This is, as we believed from tbe beginning of his first Char-acter illustration in the BAPTIST AND REFLEOTOB, to be his position, and now we have it in plain words.

Again: " O, reader, don't confound Calvinism with Hardshellism, hyper-Calvinism or fatalism. You betray your ignorance when you do."

Well, let us see about Dr. Lofton's being a hyper-Calvinist. Words are the signs of ideas. Calvinism is de-fined as "the theological tenete or doctrine of Calvin, who was bom in Picardy, in France, and in 1536 chos-en professor of divinity and minister of a church in Geneva- The distin-guishing doctrine of this system are: Original sin; par(icu/ar election ;par-ticular redemption; eiFective grace in regeneration."

The above Bro. Lofton expressly owns, but saya he is not a hyper. Well now, prefix the word hyper, which means, as a prefix, excess or something over, to the word Calvin-ism, and you have particular elec-tion, particular redemption, particu-lar co-operation and something over. You have a limited atonement, lim-ited drawings, limited co operation and particular damnation, and thus you have a full-fledged, well rounded up and developed hyper. Hardshell Calvinist in the peraon of Dr. Lofton. Bro. Lofton again, after contrasting Arminianism with Calvinism, says:

"The Calvinist serves God because he is saved and because he ioves (}od.

and not as the price of grace and sal-vation, as Arminians hold."

Now the above ia very reckless, or, to say the leaat of it, nnthoughted. Arminianism as defined is: 1. "Con-ditional election and reprobation in opposition to absolute pr^estination. 2. Universal redemption, or that the atonement waa made by Christ for all mankind, though none but believ era can be partaken of the benefit." Now I don't see anything in the above doctrine to force a man to serve and work for Christ because of any price of works any more tlian there is in Calvinism. But Bro. Lofton in con-trasting the two doctrines wante to exalt his clear-cut position and belit-tle and stultify and misrepresent the grandest t r u t ^ ever displayed to the human family—conditional election, universal atonement, free salvation and unlimited co-operation.

In controvert one shoul not forced on his opponent what he doee not expressly avow. Dr. Lofton will please let those who differ from him make their own statement.

G. A. OOLE. MUton, Tenn. Notes From Oxford.

Three of us went to the Convention at Dallas—Judge B. T. Kimbrougb, our superintendent, Mrs. K , Presi-dent of the Ladies' Mission and Aid Society, and myself. Admirable Con-vention. Much to tsommend, some to dissent from. But withal a very stim-ulating Convention. We did not pledgeanythingtothe Foreign Board, but when we got back and reported to the church, though they had just given over $100, they added aome $60 more to help in this emergency.

We are now in the midst of com' mencement week at the University of Mifsissippi. Everything takes the side-track here for that. All the churcbea closed morning and night to hear Dr. John Hunter of Jackson preach the commencement sermon in the morning and a sermon before the Y. M. C. A. at night. The aermons were good, marked by deep, careful thought, and earnest, straight forward presentation. And they had no effort at display. This institution devotee great attention to oratory. While

they give earnest attention to all proper branchsa of study through the session, and test the student by rigid written examinations, at the end the curriculum is put entirely out of sight, and the orators hold the boards. It begins some weeks previous and rolls on in unintemiptsd splendor to the very close. Medal after nudal is competed for and won, beginning with the freshman and going through all the classes to the sedate seniors, and includes, of course, the studenta of law. To day we had a trsat that was rare and exquisite indeed. The Hon. John Temple Gravea of Geor-gia delivered as the. literary address his famous lecture on the "Beign of the Demagogue." It ia one of the strongeat and most exquisite orationa it has ever been my good fortune to hear, and I have heanl Bain, Haw-thorne, Wilietls,Hen8on, Beecher and WendUng. It is an ever-shifting kaleidoscope of English and a splen-did mosaic of thought. It movss with the ripple of a rivulet, and swells and pulses with the impetuos-ity of a swollen stream. It sparkles like a fountain and then heaves as the rolling sea. If ever he comes in twen-ty milee of you be surs to hear him. The Alumni are holding forth to-night and on to-morrow the seniois speak. My judgment, formed from alight, actual acquaintance with the class-room work, is that they are do-ing very fine work. The order among the atudente is greatly improved. In fact, I have not heard of a nngle rep-rehensible act among them since I came. And many, though not all, at-tend some one of the various Sun^y-schools and churches of the town.

We are looking forward now to the meeting of our State Convention at Winona in July. Mississippi Bap-tiate are rather a modest people. Ton never hear much about them—" Bless-ed that land that has no histoiy,"— but when you want work done they are a rare people. Mv imf that it stands near the heod of the Southern States in oontributions, when measured by the actual ability of the people. This year promisss to be another hard year if the rain doea not soon come. More sometime. O. L. H. Oxford, Miss.

VyiON OF BAPTISTS AM> DISCIPLES.

A correBpondent of the New York Examiner says that the Ministerial ABSociation of the Dis-ciples (Campbellites) of North-western Ohio, meeting in Toledo May 7th, invited the Baptist min-isters of the Toledo Association to attend one of their sessions. A number did s a One of them, Rev. E. W, Hunt , read a paper presenting the propped union from a Baptist point of view, which was said to be "candid, forcible and conrteons." In the course of his remarks be said:

Again, if brethren sBy that faith in the New Testament is mere assur-anoe and acknowledgment of facts there declared, I most still more earn-ssUy dissent. The trembling devils had all that. Christianity is a person JIns a fact; the glorious person of «sa% and the crowning fact of his rmrrection. Faith is not only ac-ceptftocs of the fact, but loving de-p i^enoe upon the person. Faith is not mers assent of the understanding; it is the consent of the heart."

His remarks upon the subject of baptism are so good that we repro-dooe them entire as given in the Examiner:

"We come now to the main thing in mligions tMwhing, 'How shall man bs just with Oodf If brethren believe that the sinner is not saved until be has r t en from the baptismal grave, I cannot be implicated with that teach-I t is too difficult to dUtin-baptismal lemission from bap' I legsneration.

would transfer to baptism Paul's language with regard to circumcision: 'He received the sign of baptism, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had before he was baptized.' Can anyone be saved without it? Yes, if they are saved at all. It is an in-tolerable theory which would lead us to the oonclusion that the great ma-jority of Christians are to be lost be-cause they are not baptized; because tradition has led them to accent a substitute for baptism which isn't enough like it to be an imitation. " in our personal appeals to the un-saved. where sball we lay the empha aisT Upon baptism, or upon a delib-erate yielding of the heart and life to Christ, of which baptism will bo the fit expressiouT If we urge them to come and l>e baptized, to baptism they will look for their hope of nalvation. If we wish them to look to Jesun, we must put tho emphasis there.

The meaning of baptism is more es-sential than its form can be." I t is said that " the discussion

that followed Mr. Hunt's paper was sufficiently lively. The Bap-tist position having been stated with unreserved frankness, the question was. What is the Disci-ple position? --! tcidc tiivcnjcncr teas developed." The correspond-ent then goes on to say:

"Some candidly volunteered the con-cession that many among them were fairly chargeable with teaching bap-tismal regeneration, and deserve the name 'water Salvationists,' which has been fastened on them; but it was claimed that such were relics of the past, 'nothing but Campbellites,' not representing the thought of the pres-ent day, that if a man wanted to be baptiz^ because he was afraid he was going to die the speaker would refuse to baptize him. The chairman, how-ever, proceeded to call down the lib-eral brother in words like these: 'Does the Lord command a man to be bap-tizjdT If so, we cannot say a man is saved if not baptized'—a deliverance which was highly applauded. Others said that when askra if a man could be saved who was not baptized they always declined to answer. Some did not hold that a man must be baptized or he cannot be saved, but that was the ordinary and intended course of God's operation," Well d o e s the correspondent

add: "The time for union is obvi-ously not yet," though he thinks "progress is being made."

This conference was very simi lar in the subjects discussed and in its results to the one between these two denominations held in Bicbmond, Ya., twenty-eight years ago, an account of which we pub-lished recently.

W e may tell, however, in this connection, a conversation we bad recently with a good friend of ours who is a Oampbellite. He got after us about our recent arti-cles objecting to the basis of union between Baptists and Campbell-ites wbiob had been proposed, and claimed that we did not fairly state the views of the Oampbell-itea. H e said: " T o n ba te been T e a jl i n g, the Qoapel AdiooQai&

But that doesn't represent us. Read the Kvaiinflisl of S t Louis or the Stan<lard of Cincinnati if you want to find out what we be-lieve now. Why," he said, "we used to believe that you had to partake of the Lord's supper every Lord's day. But we have tiuit tha t Wo used to believe that a mau has to be baptized before he can be saved. But we have given that up."

" Well," we said, "you are com-ing over on Baptist ground; and if you do that, of course we shall be glad to uuite with you, or rath-er to have you unite with us. Our objection is n«>t to your uniting with UH, but toonr having to unite with yon," We then asked him some queHtioiio as to their attitude upon the subject of the Holy Spir-it and of depravity. But he said that we were f.;ettiiig into too deep water for him. He did uot think, though, that these q u e s t i o n s amouuted to much.

As a motter of fact, however, they amount to a great deal. They are the Iwgiuiiiug of the diver-gence between Baptists and Camp-bellites, and so ore vital. But our friend seemed to think that his brethren would be williug to give up their distinctive views ujion these subjtH;te, as he said they had done upon other disputed ques-tions, iu order to secure a union with the Baptists. In that c-ase, as we told him, we should be glad to have them"" unite with us. But we wonder how far he represents the sentiments of his people upon these subjects. Have they really given up the idea that baptism has auythiug to do with salvation? Are they willing to give up the idea that the Spirit operates upon the human heart only through the Word, or the idea that each indi-vidual man was created in a state of holiness, and that he is con-demned simply for bis own volun-tary sins, having no inherent de-pravity? In other words, are they willing to give up all the distinc-tive tenets of those we usually call Campbellites for the sake of union ? If so, then let ub say that we are ready to unite with them—/Acn, bill not till then. DR. BliOADUS AT THE VAN-

DEltBILT. On last Sunday morning Dr.

John A. Broadus, President of the Southern Baptist Theological Sem-inary, Louisville, Ey., delivered the Baccalaureate sermon at the Van-derbilt University of this city. I t was quite a compliment to him that he shonld be selected to deliv-er the sermon before the leading school of another denomination, and is evidence of the esteem in which he is held by others as well as Baptists. I t was a very distin-gnisbed assemblage to which he preached. In addition to the fac-olty and the atndenta of the Uni-versity, there were five Methodist bishops on the platform, besidm aeveral Baptist b i a h c ^ on the floor.

There was also one Associate Jus-tice of the United States Supreme Court and other eminent jurists, together with prominent lawyers, doctors, etc. We shall uot attempt to give any outline of the sermon, as we had it taken down in short hand, and will pnblish it in fnll in a short while. We may only say now that it was a sermon remark-able both for the breadth and depth of its learning, and wonder-ful for the simplicity with which profoundest truths were stated. I t had, wo believe, a very inspiting and uplifting iuilueuce upon the audience.

On Monday morning ho deliv-ered in the chapel of the Univer-sity what he called a familiar talk to young preaciu'rs, which, if any-thing, was luoro thoroughly en-joyed by the large audience pres-eut than the Buriuon on the previ-ous (lay. There is one thing about Dr, Broadus' preachiug and speak-ing: Whenever you hear him yon feel like you want to be a better man, and that by Qotl's help you are going to be a better man. At any rate this is always the way we feel after hearing him, and we presume that it is the same way with others. This is, we believe, the highest effect of preaching- to make people better. The sermon is good that does good. I t is an effect akin to that protluced by Demosthenes, when, after hearing OIK of his fierce denunciations of Philip, the people would e.xclaini with clenched fists and burning checks, " Let's fight Philip."

We were very sorry to see that 1) r. Broadus was not iu good healtl'. He told us that he was so weak on Sunday morning that he could hardly stand up to preach. We trust that he may soon be fully restored to health. There is only one John A. Broadus in this world, and it may be a long time before we have, another. May he long be spared to shed his beneficent in-fluence upon the world.

When he asked on Monday morn-ing: "Since the death of Spnrgeou and Phillips Brooks, where is there another really great preacher in the world?" we could not help whispering to a friend sitting by ns,y and if we bad been in a Baptist meeting we should have felt like speaking it out—" broadus ." CATHOLICS AND FREE WA-

TER. I t has just been discovered that

.while all of the Protestant schools of Nashville, of all denominations, pay a water tax to the city, all of the Catholic schools in the city have free water. Why is this? Of course this accords thoroughly with Catholicism—to t ry to get all she can from any source. She is making a desperate effort now to have the public school money of this oonntry tnrned over to her, and in many places has anoceeded in having this done. But wby should ^ our authorities here in Kaahville ' ihowf th is fairaritism?

m VV-J

B A F n f i T A N D R E P L i B C T O I l , J U N E 2 1 , 1 8 9 4 . 9 Is Nashville a Catholic city? Is it to be dominated by the Catho-lics? I t is said that 10 per cent of the teachers in the public schools are Catholics, whereas the Catholic population of the city is probably not more than 5 per cent, or at most 10 per cent, of the whole.

This is a shame and an outrage. We call upon the proper authori-ties to see to it that the Catholics are given no more favors in our city than are other denominations. We believe in religious liberty, but we believe in it for ourselves as well as for other people. We do not believe in it to the extent of surrendering all privileges into the hands of the Catholics and re-tainiug none for ourselves,

1 f the above facts are true, they illustrate very thoroughly the need for the A. P, A. organization in our city. Heretofore candidates for ollice and officials have been toadying to the Catholics and sa-loon-keepers (we do not mean to make a distinction between these two classes, necessarily. Usually they are the same. A saloon-keeper is generally a Catholic, aud a Cattiolic is always in sym-pathy with the saloon-keeper), but it is posBible that they may find it to their interest now to pay some attention to a different and a bet-ter class of people—that is, if re-ports are true about the strength of the A.

(3) While the world is bad enough now, it is not one-tenth so bad as it was when Christ first came into i t The wickedness of America to-day is as nothing compared with the wickedness of the Roman Em-pire at that date.

I'EKSUMAL AND I'KACTICAL. —Bro. J. B. Fletcher, of Alexandria,

csme down last week to the meeting of the Prohibition State Convention. He is an enthusiastic Prohibitionist, and about the same kind of a Baptist.

—The genial John T. Oakley spent a short while with us Monday on his return ftom his appointment at Antioch, There is no more popular pastor in the State, nor one who ex-erts a wider influence.

- T h e "Coming Church" is the subject of a sermon delivered by a brother in Illinois, recently, a copy of which has been sent to us. We be-lieve that the " coming church " is the church which has conie, which was founded by the Lord Jesus Christ nearly ISOO years ago.

—There are to-day in the United States nearly 215,000 miles of railroad tracks,, with more than 1,500,000 cars and locomotives, carrying annually nearly 556,000,000 passengers; yet the organization and constrOction of the first railroad in this country is within the memory of many persons now liv-ing.

—It is announced that Rabbi Jos-eph Krauskopf, of Philadelphia, and Rev. Russell H. Conwell, of the same city, are going to Russia to test the right of that country to shut out an American citizsn on religious grounds, and the Kentucky Baptist thinks that consequently " Russian news will be interesting this summer." Possibly.

—Spurgeon's Sermon Notes which we offered as premiums a few months sgo proved so popular that we have ordered another large lot and offer them again as follows: For thre* new subscribers and the money, 16.00, we will give a complete set of Spur-geon's Sermon Notw, 4 vola, doth bound, price, $1.00. Send in your orders soon. •

—We have received a copy of the Monteagle Annual for 1894. I t ' i s gotten up in handsome style. It shows a most excellent program for the season. If you ars looking for a pleasant place to spend th« summer you can find DO more delightful one than Montesgls. Addrsss for Infor-mation with reference to it Prof. A. P. Bourland, Monteagle, Tsnn.

—We have been informed that Dr. J . B. Hawthorne, of Atlanta, Oa, will lectura in Johnson Oity, Item., oa the night ot.AagaBt 1st for

the benefit of the Baptist Church at that place. The subject of the lecture will be " Manly Men and \^omanly Women." We had the pleasure of hearing this lecture recently in Geor-gia, and can assure our Johnson City friends that they will be well repaid for hearing i t We hope that the lecturer may have a large audience and that the Johnson City church (which, by the way, is one of the beet in the State), may secure a large sum for its use.

—We are requested to announce that the Masonic Widows' and Orphans, Home of Nashville will be dedicated J une 23rd by the Grand Lodge. This Home has been completed and paid for at a cost of $10,000, voluntary con-tributijions of Masons throughout Ten-nessee. Together with the furniture and land it is valued at $50,000. It has been in successful operation ior eighteen months, and now has sixty inmates. We had the pleasure of go-ing to this Home a few weeks ago and of making a talk to the children. This is certainly a Home of which our Masonic friends have a right to feel proud. Why can't the Baptists of Tennessee do as well in supporting their widows and orphans as the Masons t

—We sympathize very much with our friend. Dr. J. M. Frost, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Nashville, in the death of his mother on Wednes-day of last week. She died at Owens-boro, Ky., at the home of hereon, and was buried at Georgetown, K j , in the presence of a large concourse of old friends and neighbors. The funeral sermon was preached by Dr. W. H. Felix of Lexington, Ky. Mrs. Frost was in the 7Bth year of her age at the time of her death. She was the widow of Rev. Jas. M. Frost, for many years a distinguished minister in Ken-tucky, and was herself a woman of much strength of character, as well as of piety and consecration. As a friend of ours remarked some tipie ago, "A man never has but one mother," and when that mother is taken away, the world never seems quite the same aft-erwards. But while earth is darker, heaven is brighter. Ah! thank God for a mother.

—At its first conference after the adjoui;nment of the Southern Baptist Convention, the First Bsptist Church at Dallas passed resolutions extend-ng hearty thanks to the people of Dallas and Oak Cliff, to the Dallas Commercial Club, the Oity Council,

to the Citizens Committee and to all concerned, for their assistance in-tak-ng care of the great Convention, in-

cluding a resoluUon of thanks to pas-or C. L. Seasholes for his arduous abors and sucoessful management of heConvenUon. Thsnsolutionsoloie tiy saying: "Everybody was satisfied. The Convsntion came liks a storm and passed away and we are not con-sumed, nor our strength half tasted. We had hundreds of homes for which we had no gussts and we have paid all billr, or have the money to pay hem, and have money left Praise he Lord from whom all blessings

flow." Tst psopla talk about the difficulty of furnishing free entertain-ment to the Convention I Dallas not only entartainsd it In the most hos-iltabla manner, but said that it had ittndrads of homss left ovsr, and

after paying all bilit, hss monar laft in tha traasary, and pnwasda to sing pnisM to Ged from whom all blati-

ings Jow for sending them the South-ern Baptist Convention. Our ex-perience in Nashville acooids largely with that of Dallas. We found that the greateet trouble in entertaining the Convention existed in our imagi-nations before the meeting of the Convention. After it came, however, there was very little trouble. And so, we believe, it will be with other places.

—The Texas Baptist and Herald of last week says: " Just as we go to press we learn that Sister M. D. Early is passing from earth to heaven. It is generally known that she has been an invalid for several months, and that her demise has been expected at any time. She died in blissful tri-umph over the grave. Her last months of sickness have been spirit-ually ecstatic, her whole wakeful time being employed in rejoicing and giv-ing thanks for the grace by which she has lived and the grace that promised so peaceful an hour in which to die." This sad news, though not unexpected to our read-ers, as we have previously informed them of her critical condition, will cause sorrow to many a heart in Ten-nessee. Mrs. Early was one of the most earnest and enthusiastic work-ers in church circles, and especially m woman's missionary circles, that we have ever had in the Stats. Dur-ing her residence of several yeaia in Memphis her influence extended not only over that oity, but over the whole State. She will be graatly missed. May God bless the bereaved husband, and grant to him all of the consolations of his grace in this his deepest hour of distress.

—Through the efforts of Dr. 0 . H. Parkhurst^ the new presidsnt of the Society for the Prevention of Crime in New York, the Tammany Tiger of that city has at hut been brought to bay. It has been ehowh that the po-licemen appointed by Tammany have been levying black mail upon the aa-loons and gambling .houses and othw places of vice in New York to tha ex-tent of $10,000,000 a year-that is, they have demanded and received thia sum as th4 price of leaving these places to run their nefarious and il-legal business unmolested. This is the amount which the policeman have been getting. Nobody knowa how much the officials of Tammany hava been receiving for their influaoca. I t is known, however, that they all get rich very rapidly. Chief Ciokar him-self has saved up enough to bay a quarter of a million doUaia worth of stock on a farm near Na^villa, ^ n . When a committee waa appdnted by the legislature of New York to invssU-C^te the corruptions of Tkmmany, Mr. Croker's health became very bad and he was compelled to sail for Eu-rope for the benefit of his health. It is supposed that by the Ume the com-mittee closes its investigation his health will have been restored and he will then be able to return to New York. Let us hope, however, that the investigation may continue indefi-nitely. Tammany, we believe, is the most corrupt oiganization upon the face of the globe. But who compose Tammanyt Catholics and saloon keepers. So far as it appliss to Tam-many, at least, tha remark of old Dr. Burohard waa not n ^ far wrimg, when ha spoke of "that party whcas antacsdents wars Bam, TR3maDiBm andBeballion." ' ^ ' w i

The Story of a Picture. BT AMMIE LACBIE.

iCosrrisrKtKl Jnlia's visit had been a long and

pleasant one, bat like all other earthly pleasnres, most come to a close. She had been urged to make her home with her relatives, but declined npon the conviction that she conld best serve her Ma-ker in her own beloved bat lesa enlightened land. There she had a solitary, batchelor ancle to whose life she added the only remaining brightness, and whose very exist-ence withont his idolized niece wonld have been intolerable.

She had visited, in company with Alice and Phil, many of the noted places in the U n i t ^ States, and now, thoagh it grieved her sorely to part with her relatives who had grown donbly dear to her, she knew her visit had been of soffi. cient daration, and dnty was call-ing her beyond the mighty waters.

She went forth, with Phil alone to accompany her, on her last sketching tear among the pictur-esque New England hills. The day, which was drawing to a close, had been a busy one, and Phil no-ticed that his cousin's face was un-usually pale; so finding a conven-ient spot he besought her to rest before commencing the journey home. When he had seated her comfortably, with ahugebonlder at her back for support, he sat down near her and looked wistfully into her eyes. Presently his lips part-ed as if to speak, but she put out her band to prevent i i "Do not speak it, Phil," she said, gently; " I know too well what yon wonld say. My duty calls me home, and 'duty before pleasure' must al-ways oome."

"How is it that you always know my thoughts ere they are spoken?" h« adced, thoughtfully.

"A true artist," she replied, *'who has studied her work as she should IwT« done oan, through the

face, ftlmcst read a person's very BOUl."

"Ob! Cousin Julia," he said en-tboaiastically, "with your talent and knowledge of art I think I should be the happiest creature living."

For a moment she regarded him in silence and then slowly answer-ed: "Ah! my dear cousin, truly yonr talent does not lie in art, nor is true happiness of this world. Nevertheless, Ood has given you talent for something perhaps in-finitely higher. For each of bis creatares be has a work, and for that work he leaves them not with-out the talent with which to ac-complish i t Find yours, and do not fail to do it well."

For a time both snt silent; aiul then, glancing at the usually smil-ing face, Phil was aliuost fright-ened at its change. A vision of hopeless agony seemed to have shrouded its fair beauty, and for a moment she sat as if turned to stone.

Wishing yet fearing to break the spell, he sat staring at her un-til his own features became drawn and rigid.

"What presentiment of coming evil or recollection of past regret could be so utterly distressing?" A few times he had seen on her face a look of depression, but it was only momentary; and never had he seen her look like tha t

Presently, with a mighty effort, she aroused herself from her reve-rie, and seeing Phil's perplexity tried to banish her own discom-fort; but it was not so easily rout-ed, and while she forced her lips to smile, her eyes reflected only the anguish of her soul.

"Pardon me, Phil," she said. " I seldom indulge in visions like this. Grieving over the past can do no good unless to help us mend the future."

"Only a short time, if heaven smiles upon my voyage, the mighty ocean will again roll be-tween US. Thus separated, we may never meet again this side of eternity. Be that as it may, I will ever be able, looking back over my checkered career, to number my visit to America among the brightest spots my life has known. In this you have fignred largely. But, Phil, one thing there is that has deeply shadowed its bright-ness. Must I tell you? Ah! no! I see you understand. Then let me beg you never again yield to the temptation. Have I your promise?"

" I am willing, dear cousin, to do anything reasonable for your comfort and pleasure, but," he continued persuasively, " I liope you will pardon me if I tell you I do not think yon should ask the discontinuance of a harmless in-dulgence which adds much to my felicity. I do not, as yon no doubt suppose, visit the low, degrading KTOgshops which are to be found in any town or dty . Such places I abhor, and to suddody find my.

self surrounded by such people as frequent ihem would be shocking to my sensibility. I visit only saloons of high and illustrious pa-tronage, and visit these more for the sake of the amusement I find in them than for any other cause."

"True," she replied. " But that very ' high and illustrious patron-age' is doing more to-day to fill the 'degrading grogshops' with fitting subjects and the future homes with misery than any other one custom in the land. Not only in America, but in the old world also is it true. Nobility has a great influence, and through it satan accomplishes his most pow-erful feats. He would never think of trying to porsuaile a young man of r f f m ^ taste and genteel train-ing to follow a ruthless inebriate to his vile haunts and drink with him fronj the same corrupt foun-tain at which he seeks to tjuench his consuming thirst; but with shrewd cunning he coaxes him on by citing him to the brilliant aris-tocrat who can drink from tlie dainty cup a mild and pleasant beverage which he assures him will never injure any one. Thus he begins and leads him uncon-sciously on until, ere he is aware of it, he is his own master no mora"

" Perhaps this is true, but as the amusements and not the drinks are the attractions for me, allow me to compromise with yon by giving you a promise of total ab-stinence while you grant me an occasional visit"

(To be continued).

Force ol' I-Ixaniplo.

We have read of a young infidel who was one night in bed contem-plating the character of his mother. " I see," said he within himself, " two unquestionable facts."

"1. My mother is greatly 8fillet-ed in circumstances, body and mind, and I see that she cheerfully bears up under all by the support she derives from constantly retir-ing to her closet and her Bible.

"2. That she has a secret spring of comfort of which I know noth-ing; while I, who gave an unbound-ed rein to my appetites and seek pleasure by every means, seldom or ever find i t If, however, there is any such secret in religion, why may not I attain to it as well as mother? I will immediately seek it of God."

Thus the influence of Ohrit>tian-ity, exhibited in its beauty by a living example before him, led Richard Oecil to know Christ htm-aelf, and to glorify Him by a life of most successful devotion to His service.—

to sacrifice self for others, how much more should we deny our-selves for the sake of Christ our Lord? The llev. William Jones Boone, first missionary bishop to China, relates this incident:

I had in my employ a very valu-able Chinese servant upon whom I leaneil with implicit confidence One day he came to me: " I shall be obliged to ask yon to find some-body to take my place, as in the course of a few weeks I am to be executed in place of a rich gentle-man, who is to pay me very liber-ally for becoming his substitute." Such a mode of exchange as the reader may know, is in accordance with the law of the Empire.

1 then inquired what possible inducement there could be to for-feit his life for any amount of money. He replied: " I have an aged father and mother who are very poor and unable to work, and the money I am to receive will make them comfortable as long as they live. I think therefore it is my duty to give up my life for the sake of accomplishing this."

—Godly is the man that can see the Godlike in his fellow men.

CIIILDBENS DAT. Yesterday, for the first time in its

history, the First Baptist Church of Chattanooga celebrated Children's Day. I wish all of you could have been present. The exercises were so interesting, so elevating, so charmtog in every way. To that most gifted and consecrated of our Baptist wom-en, Mrs. P. C. McNulty, the teacher of the infant class, much of the credit is due. Willing hands assisted her in decorating, and in drilling the little dues. Back of the pulpit, where our big pipe^organ is going to be some of these days, were the words, "Crea-tion, Light, Bible." Underneath them was a rainbow arch, and under that " The Bow of Promise." These were the themes of all the songs, scripture readings, and recitations. The choir-gallery, the baptistery, and the pulpit platform were all banked with pot-plants in bloom, and cut flowerr, and there were several cages of singing birds, and when the pastor offered a fervent prayer for the school and the Sunday-school work, it seemed as if the sweet songsters carolled "Amen! Amen!" A choir of girls and boys led the slnginK. and it was a benedic-tion only to look in(o their fresh young faces. Miss Pauline James sang a solo with great sweetness and expres-sion, sud I could not keep back the praysr that a voice of so much prom-ise would be consecrated to the ser-vice of God from the very beginning of her life on earth. Of couise there was a collsction, for we followed Bro. Quisenbenry's program with some changes and modifications. After all the songs had been sung, after sev-eral pretty rscitationa from Misses Helen Woodward, Mattie Wilson, Millie Sanders and Minnie Freeman, and a motion song from the very tiny tots, snd a talk from our pastor, Bro. Frsdsriok Biyan, a splendid speoimen of youthfal Christisnity, told of the nssd of Sunday-sohools in many sec-tions of oar State, of the n • ed of good literatura and of B.bIeK, and ihen a number of dear litUs girls look ths boys' hats, and went up and down ths aisjss gathsring in ths nickels and the dlmss for the Sunday school

Board, and I hope they got enough to rejoice Mr. Quisenbenry's heart, which is so deeply interested in this work. Then we sang, "Praise Ood from whom all blessings flow," and went home.

I have told you about it at this length that you might see how easy a thing, and how delightful a service, "Children's Day" can be made. Some churches need to be reminded occasionally that they have a Sunday-school. This is such a good way to bring it before them. Some churches have forgotten that all are not so blessed as they. This will make them pause to think, and also make them put their hands in their pockets. So if your Rchool has not had " Children's Day," just write to Rev. W. Y. Quie-enberry, Chattanooga, for programs. They are only meant to be sugg«wt-ive, but they will give you a start in the right direction at least

Let UB see now what the postman has for ub. I 0|ien first such a dear letter from the motherof our old friend, Esther Wingo, Trezevant. She says it is " not for publication," or I should like for you to read it every word. She sends a noble contribution from herself and children, "towards the $100 promised by Bro. Folk for the Young South." How encouraging that is! The children earned their share by selling berries. For two years Mrs. Wingo has celebrated her birthday by taking up a family col-lection for missions, thus teaching her children to do the Master's work. She has bidden them to do likewise in their own homes by and by, and how beautifully that will link her memory with Him "who went about doing good." I wish we had thousands of such dear mothers watching over our circle and bidding us " go forward."

From Walt's comes this: " Enclosed you will find 30 cents

for the orphans. We promised to send 10 cents a month, but are three months behind. It is a small sum, but it will be of some service. May God bleiis the orphans! Yours truly,

MtRTLE Allen." I add this to our " Young South

Orphanage Fund" with so much pleas-ure, and as soon as I get a little more on hand, I shall forward it to Mr. Thompson or Mr. Strother for the lit-tle ones. I am so glad that your sym-pathies still go out to them.

Now read what our old friend, Wil-lie Bettis, has to tell us:

" I have thought for several days of writing to you, as you desired to know whether I wss a girl or boy. I am glad to tell you I'm a girl. I hitve had an office of some kind in Sunday-whool for seven yesrs, and I should be lost without it. I dearly love Sun-day-sohool and mission work. I have a certificate which I received last year from Aunt Nora. I havs a missionary hen, and every year I make S2 from her eggs and chickens. I am going to sell ths old hen and save one of the young ones to raise from. l a m clerking for my brother aud I always gtvs one tenth of my income to the Lord. So I hope I'll have spms mors to send you soon. I wish you much success in your work. Lovingly, Willis Brtis."

Now there's a girl after my own hsart 1 A r ^ l s r " businsss womsn " in embryo! Long may she live to give her tenth to Gpd's work!

Mrs. Bailey writes sgain from Nash-ville: "We have dsddsdjto send our

money once a month. With beat wishes for our missionary aod the success of the Young South, I re-main yours truly,

(Mks) N. a . BAILET." Do you remember that Mrs. Bailey

heads a " Young South Band," who meet every two weeks? I hope they pray for our own missionary and for our dear young workers everywhere. Are there any more such bands? Do write me in regard to your methods of work, and do not think for one mo-ment that we have lost our interest in our prime object,

"the touno south missionabt," for in turning our contributions to wards the debt of the Foreign Board, we are looking forward to her going all the while, for until this debt of $17,000 is paid, no more missionaries will go from the Southern Baptists. She will be sent out by the Board and watched over and cared for by them, and in doing our utmost to help Dr. Willingham lift this heavy burden from their shoulders, we are pushing forward our own special work. So load the postman down with letters for me from this day on. The more the better. I want so much to send on that check to Richmond, Va. I hope you read what Mr. Folk had to say to you a week or so ago. I feel so honored by his faith in the Young South. No matter how small the amount you have to give seems to you, send it on immediately. Don't wait for it to grow. I am so pleased to hear from you at all times. Don't let us be laggards now, when the need is so urgent.

Hoping to hear from many of you before another week rolls around, and praying God's blessings upon you all, I am yours faithfully,

Slission Work in Mexico. The pioneer of Christian missions

in Mexico was Rev. James Hickey. After fourteen months of hard work in Monterey, he baptized fire happy converts, and organized the First Bap-tist Church of Monterey. This was in the last year of our civil war, 1861. So we read in the June Teacher. Now there are twenty-two missionaries with a membership of 1,0U. and last year they contributed $1,526. Slow work, do you say? Ah! when you go to a land where the Inq-r'sition has flour-ished, where the Bible is practically unknown,where the people aresteeped in ignorsnce snd superstition, where what is termed religion is its greatest curse, what can you expect but slow work? Let us send more workers to this poor, priest riddsn country. Pray earnestly for Mexico. L. D. E.

A Ghost Story. The authority for this "genuine

ghos*. story " is Golden pays: Soms yesrs sgo there was a lone

hbuss stending near a plantotion not far from Guilford, Conn. This house nobody would ever take, because it was haunted, and strange noisss were heard in it after dark.

Several tenants tried it, but were frightsnsd away by ths noisss. At last one individual, more courageous than the rast, rssolvsd to onravsl Uis

mystery. Hs socordingly armed him-self cap-a-pie, and having put out the light, remained aentry in one of ths rooms. t

Shortly he heard on the steirs, pit, pst ; a full stop; then pit, pat; a full stop sgain.

The noise was repeated ssvsral times, ss though soms creature, ghost or no ghost, was coming upstairs.

At last the thing, whatever it was, came close to the door of the room where the. sentry was plsced, and, listening, his heart, too, chimed in with the tune—pit, pat, but rather faster than it was wont to do.

He flung open the door—hurry, skurry, bang!—something wsntdoWn stairs with a tremendous jump, snd all over the bottom of Uie house the greatest confusion, as of thoussnds of demons rushing in sll directions, was heard! •

This was enough for one night. The next night our crafty sentry ss-teblished himself on the first landing, with a heap of straw, and a box of lu-cifer matohes.

Soon all was quiet. Up the stairs again came the pit, pat—pit, pat.

When the noise was close to his ambush he scraped his match and set fire to his straw, which blazsd up like a bonfire in an instent And what did he see? Only a rabbit, which stood on his hind legs as much ss-tonished ss was the sentry.

Both man and beast having mutu-ally inspected each other, the biped hurled a sword at the quadru]^, which disappeared down stairs quick-er than he came up. The noise made was only the rabbit'a fore and hind feet hitting the boards as hs hopped from one stair to another. Ths rab-bits had got into the house from ths neighboring plantation, and had fur-ly frightened away, by their noctur-nal wanderings, the rightful owners thereof.

—It is said that the steamer Scotia once picked up a dczen ahipwrecked sailors in mid-ooean, among them a boy of twelve years. " Who are you?" said the captain. The answer was:

I am a Scotch boy. My fathsr and mother are dead and I am on my way to America." " Whst have you here?" said the captain, aa he opened the boy's jacket snd took hold of a rope around ths boy's body. " I t is a rope," said the boy. " But what is that tied by this rope under yonr armf" "That, sir, is my mothsr's Bible. She told me never to lose that." "Could you not have saved something ehm?".

"Thou fool," which has a decidec

Dr. Lofton intimates very strongly

that all who cannot discern the differ-

Calvinism expose their ignorance.

burned on the night of June 3rd. It

had just l}een coi^Ieted at a cost of

f5,000. There was an insurance of $3,-

They do not feel able to rebuild the

house at their own expense, and will

appreciate any outside help which

may be given them. Tifton is a little

crossing of two railroads, and is an

important place for the Baptists to

hold.' Anything which is given to the

church will be wisely spent.

I am somewhat encouraged with my

slowly, but surely, I think, to greater

activity and success.

I visited Shoal Creek Church last

month. That is a great place for

large congregations. If you could

have seen the people gathering last

meeting you would have thought the

place had the right name. The peo

seems to be perfectly fitted to his

people.

I am authorized to say in behalf of

Shoal Creek Church and the William

them on Friday before the fourth Sun-

About five months ago Bro. J. H.

Smith moved to Jackson from Tibbs,

Tenn. He brought with him a house-

hold of faith—his excellent wife, four

sons and three daughters—all active

membera of the church. They at once

came into the First Baptist Church

and went to work with the ease and

earnestness of trained workmen. It

was a joy to the pastor and members

of this church to see the spirit mani-

fested by this pious family. But alas!

the circle is broken! On the 8ih of

this month the husband and father,

after a brief illness, left our city to

live in the city of pure delight Will

you suffer a few words about this

noble man of OodT They are said

not for his sake, nor simply to com-

fort the family; but with the hope

that some may read and profit by

them. Bro, Smith was an affectionate

and sympathetic husband, a kind, lov-

ing father. He loved his family too

well to neglect their religious train-

ing. He believed in education—had

been a school teacher himself, and

had moved to .Jackson to educate his

children; but he always made heaven-

ly wisdom of most importance in his

home. Ho was nearly Gi years old

when he left us, and had been a

church member since his 17th year.

Religion to him was not a mere pro-

fession. but a real and joyous life.

Here are some of the lessons to be

learned from him: An earnest study

of the Bible. He studied it as the

Word of life, as the will of his Father.

He could sit down and discuss its

teschings like a preacher, and de-

lighted in talking about the Book. A

thorough study of the Word will

make more devoted Christians. Then

he taught hiq family this truth. He

would read the Bible regularly and

pray in his tamily—kept up family

Worship; and saw them all happy

Christians, and one of the boys pre-

paring to preach the gospel beloved

80 well. It was that exemplary life

and bis constant words and prayers

that, under Ood, made liis family a

household of faith. Another excel-

lent lesson he taught in the interest

he took in Sunday-school. For years

he was the superintendent of a school

at Tibbs that transformed the whole

community. Up to his death he

worked in the Sunday-school. He

never felt that he had graduated,

though more than 63 years old. And

one other thing I will mention, and

that is hiH devotion to bis church.

He was an inspiration to his pastor.

He came to prayer-meeting and

preaching because it was a delight

for him to come. He prayed with

such simple faith and deep earnest-

ness that we all greatly enjoyed

having him lead ua at the throne of

grace.

He was indeed a pure, a rare spirit, and wore a countenance that always seemed to have the smile of God upon it.

We shall miss him, but we have bis influence and exampio with ua to blees our lives and make them more Godlike.

I wanted to aay these words about

a noble private in the army of the

Lord. In the roll-oall of fame there

is not much room for the private*.

I t is mainly the names of offioen

that mast be written then. But

D I L L O N .—E . Dillon was born Deo.

7,1814; professed faith in Christ and

j3ined the Bradley's Creek Baptist

Church in 1840; became a member of

tbe MsNonioorderin 1856; was married

to Hannah Talley in 1838; died in

Maj, 1894, aged 80 years. A written

eulogy of the life of this great man

would be in place. We can only say

a few words in this obituary. Bro.

Dillon was true and tried, pious and

courageous, of deep piety and emo-

tional spirit, prompt in the full dis-

charge of every moral duty, liberal in

contributions to our various church

enterprises, full of charily; and in-

deed, in his person were the elements

of true greatness, and therefore the

Lord blessed him in store house and

in soul. He raised a large family, all

I f whom are members of the BaptiM

Church. We shall greatly miss tliis

noble character, but our loss is heav-

en's gain. He was buried with Ma-

sonic honors in the family buiying-

place to sweetly rest till the reunion

in the last day. The funeral was

preached to a large concourse of r«l-

ativ«B and friends who came to show

reipect to him for the last time.

O . A . COLE

Milton, Tenn.

ET A N S .—The unexpected visit of

death was seeq in the home of M. A.

and Emma Evans on the morning of

June 6,1894, as it fell with his usual

power on their son, Joe D. Evans, of

twenty summen. Joe professed faith

in Christ and united with the Baptist

Church at Salem, Tenn., September,

1892. Since that time every evidence

of true Christianity has covered his

short journey in his Master's cause.

None could claim to be his superior

in morals. He never was known to

swear an oath or drink intoxicating

liquors. He was an obedient child,

loving brother and a kind friend. He

was loved by all who knew him for

his truthfulness, morals and Chris-

tian graces. He died rejoicing in his

Savior's love. His life and death

stand out to all as the strongest evi-

dence that none have a lease on life

here, but however good or bad, great

or small, death claims and gains it

all. Heaven, the place of rest from a

world of toil, ia that to which we all

ahould tend and attain. His beloved

pastor, Bro. T. J . Eastes, paid a glow-

ing tribute to his life when he said

his life was a monument of honor and

a hallowed sweetness to hia home, his

church, his Sunday-school, and whose

Iocs to them is great, but heaven's

gain ia greater.

Schools and Colleges WIU Make a Mistake if in toBking up their Bdvertiaiag schedule for

the next aeMon thej fail to include in their list of papers the

BAPTIST AND REFLECTOR. The reasons why ue too numerous to specify. Two or three may be

briefly mentioned. •

1. Nashville bfiing the recognized Eilucational Center of the Soutli, its reUgioos papers and periodicals-of which more than a dozen are pub-liBhed—are osnaUy consult^ by those interested in Educational Matters.

2. Among all these papers the BAPTIST AND RErLscroR is easily foie-mMt in the number of, and amount of space given to School Announcemonta. It follows that its columns are attratively scanned by parents and others havuig young people to educate.

3. Southern SchoolH arc, m b rule, sustained by patronage from the Southwest, and this is precisely the field where the

rabecnbers and readers of the BAPTIST AND BErLioroR are found. Using the BAPTIST AHD BcrtcoroB as a seed sower, you reach just the fruitful ground you aim for, and ara not acatUring aeed promiscuously along the way side.

4 . BecognlaingrUii I unusual pressurs of the Umea the BAPTIST AWDBI-IMOTOB b prapand to nuke liberd oonoessiona in ratM to all schools con-traoting for their n iud amount of space.

—It Is said that the papers in Persia do not use printing type. The "copy" is given to an expert penman, whose duty it is to write it out carefully. The various articles are then arranged in page forms, and lithography mul-tiplies the copies. The Iran, pub-lished at Teheran, is the only news-paperof importance published in Per-sia.

—Lord.BoMberry, the present Pre-mier of England, is the owner of the horse which recently won the Derby in Enghmd. He seemed very proud of the event. Indeed, it is stated that when he was a young man he said that there were three things which he hoped to attain in life. 1. To marry the richest woman in En-gland. 2, To be Prime Minister, and 8. To own the horse which won the Derby. All three of these things he has done. He married into the Both-child family. But it is said that the better wrt of public opinion in En-gland is demanding that Lord Bose-berry make his choice between the turf and the Premiership. It is not a pleasant eight to see the Premier of England ongaged in horse racing. Certainly it is a spectacle far be-low the dignity which attached to that office during its dccupancy by Lord Boseberry's predecessor, Mr. Gladstone. Besides this, it is ex-tremely demoulising to the young men of the country to have their Prime Minister engage in such busi-ness. It encourages them in horse racing and—what usually goes along with it—in gambling.

—Un Saturday of last week, Mr. G. A. Dszeyof.thia dty was convicted of conspiring wit^ Frank Porterfiold to wreck the late Commercial National Bank of Nashville, and on Monday he was MUtenoed by Judge Ssge to two y i ^ in the penitentiary and to pftytflD« ofS10,000, which was the utmost Omit of th« law. Everyone BympaUdna with the family of Mr< DaB»y In his disgrace and downfall, but at'the same time everyone feels that it is but jusUce, that he brought it upon himself by his own misdeeds, i t iBhoped that the conviction of these meOi^whoBa disastroui speculations luv* done so much to bring flnandal injtuy upon the public of Nashville, will, hav* the effect of olearing the Btmosphm and of oheoking to • lBi|i extent this gambling mania which Jiaa run ao riot in our midst.

they were not satiafied. They reach-ed out their hands for more and they got-whatt We trust that they may be examples for the young men of our city, and of thiu country. The only honut way to make money is to work foif it, and when one ceases to do that and tries to get something for uothiog, he is apt to find at last, like Porterfield and Dazey, that he has got nothing for something. They gave reputation, character, fu-ture prospects, happiness, all, and now have got—only a prison cell.

—On last Sunday night Mr. Csr-nof. President of the French Bepub-lic, was aasaasinated at Lyons, France. He was on his way to the theatre (which was considered all right in Catholic France). Immense crowds which lined the streets cheered him as he passed by. Suddenly a yoiing Italian by the name of Santo rushed up to the carrisge, and as Mr. Car not went to shake hands with him, plunged a dagger into his side. He sank back into the carriage and died three hours afterwards. The whole French nation is plunged into the deepest grief. Mr. Carnot was quite popular. He was of a conservative temperament, and was the very man needed to guide the French Bepub-lie through the many dangers which threaten it on every hand. It is not known yet just who will be elect-ed as president to succeed him, but it is doubtful if any one could be chosen who would possess the confi-dence of the volatile French-to as great a degree or for as long a time. The French people were at first dis' posed to pour out their resentment upon the heads of other lUlfians in the city, suppoaing that tM assassi-nation was on account of rome slight complication between the two coun tries. It seems, however, that Santo was an anarchist, and that the motive for Uie assasaination was on account of the death of two of his comrades reoently by the'French Government for bomb throwing. These anarchists are getting to be dreadfully dange^ ous people. With the dagger in one hand and dynamite in the other, they are threatening the very foundations of society. IC seems to have come id a p«88 where either they must be ex-terminated or they will exterminate society. The assassination of Presi-dent Camot recalls very atrongly tiie assassination of our two President|^ Lincoln and Garfield. vThe oiroum-stances surrounding each case are somewhat similar, though it would aeem that in the prstsnt inatance there waa more of an organization and a more deliberat* purpose back of the aaaaosination than in the case of dtiiir Mr. Lhuoln or Mr. Gavfiald. BpmatlUng should ba dona to protect

cranks, and from still more irrespon-sible anarchists.

Parents Out of Sunday-School.

In the far away wilds of Africa oc-curred, the other day, a deed of valor that will be told in etory and sung in song and treasured in the hearts of men while time shall last. Thirty-four English abldiers were surprised and surrounded by 6,000 of Lo Ben gula's Matabele waniora.

The story cannot better be told than in the words of olTe of the savage offi cers who led the attack: "I, Bfochashs, in^una of the Eu regiment, tell you these things. We were 6,000 mbn against your thirty-four. They rode into the track and lined their horses in a ring and commenced a heavy fire upon us and our men fell fast and thick. We opened a fire upon them and killed all their horses. Then they took cover behind their horses' bodies and killed us like grass. We tried to rush them. Twice we tried, but failed. After A time they did not fire so much, and we thought their ammunition was getting short. Then, jupt as we were preparing to rush again, they all itood up. They took ofF their hats and sang. We were so amazed'to see men sing-ing in the face of death we knew not what to do. At last we rushed. You white men don't fight like men, but like devils. They shot us till the last cartridge, and then covered up their eyes and died without a sound. Child of a wiiite man, youc people know how to fight and how to die. We killed aU the thirty-four. But they killed ua like grass."

Now, what is it that made the dif-ference between these English sol-diers and these Matabele savagesT How could thirty-four men, i long as their ammunition lasted, hold 6,000 men at bayt How long would thirty-four savages, under the aame circumstances, hold back 6,000 EnglishmenT, I answer, it was the superior training tlie Englishmen had reeved. Educated from childhood in the schools, they had learned to think and know what to do in an emergency. They had been placed in tho hands of a drill aei^eant as raw Mcruits and thoroughly tAined, from the simplest art of keeping atep up to the moet intricate avolutions of war. Th(^ had learned exact obedienoe to every.oommand of thehr auperiors, and thereby'had learned 8elf*oontrol. In short,tiiey had become intelligent men and brave soldiers through the edu-oAtion and military trabing they had ieoeived» In which atirict obedience to orden la eaaentlal to sucoeas.

Shall we not, as soldiers of the orosf, learn a lesson from this tragic •vant In Africat Do not we n ^ this Muns drill, this samo levira dia-dplin* tiiat thoM m ^ of war had n-

ceived who sent the English bullets whistling home to the hearts of their enemieaf Ought not God'a army to be as well trained in all the lurts and evolutions of spiritual warfare as a n the soldien of earthly governmentat With our great Captain, Jesus Chri^ to lead and God's Word, the drill book of instructions, in our hand,' w* ought to win every battle. But the enemy defeats us too often, confusion takes the' place of order and defeat perches on our banner of viotoiy. Why is thisf It is because w« do not obey the commands of mir Oap-tain. We ara like the Matabele war-rion« an unorganix^ mob. Wo do not know liow to fight We havo never learned self-oonlr^ Wehav* not trained our wilL We lack that continuous seU-disc^Une that gitea us complete oonUol of all our God-given powers. We have not learned even the pdmary leeeon of a t i ^ obe-dience to all Of Gk>d'aj oommBnds. We need to iving ourselvM under the power of the hlgbMt motlfsa and train ourselvsa t o i ^ t b ^ ^ Satan gains the viotoiy over ow Uvea and ^destroys our naefttlness because we have not been "put under the drill sergeant of God's army and trained to obey God's command .

The Sunday-school, tbo,< prayer-meeting and the B.iT; P. U^ are our driU grounds and only a few parents are ever seen in dthoir plaoe. f Tho Bible is our book of instraotimi, bat I know of aome parents who refuse to study it, and a few who will not Oran read it.

Hie dgna of the timea seem to portend a grMt day of bat-tie, whoae ahadow is even now dark-eningourhotison. Wearaavennow faoe to facO'with a threat^ng foe, but if we oan conquer him with the eword of the Spirit, w« will not havo to resort to the sword of war to de-fend our lives, oor libertiaa and all we hold saorad from tha (uioroMh-muits of a ouonlng, implaoabte and iMlenUets enemy.
