CUKKENT Tories. —We stated last week that the only

parallel to the caieer of Debs which we could think of in history waa that of Bobespierrs in the French revolu* tion, but that Bobespierre'e reign was a little longer and much bloodier. We wrote at the time from memory. Since then we have consulted our history, and find that the parallel is even more etrongly marked, especial-ly as regards dates. Robespierre's i«ign lasted from Juno 10th to July 28th, 1794, when he was beheaded; while Debs' was from July 1st to July 17th, 189i. when he was imprisoDod. Thus Debs' came exactly one hun-dred years after Bobespierre'n and bis career was embraced within the same period as Bobespierre's, though it be-gan a little later and ended a little sooner. During this period Robe-spierre had 1,285 people guillotined. There were not so many who lost their livee under Debs' rsign, but it does not seem to have been his fault that there were not.

— The complication between China and Japan over the right to domin-ate in Corean affairs is still quite crit-ical. Hostilities have not been actu-ally declared, but every indication points in that direction, at an early date. The situation becomes grave from the fact, as we mentioned last week, that Russia, which has posses-sions lying a short distance alongside of Gk)rea, may decide to take a hand in the fight, and possibly gobble up the prey herself. But if Russia takes a hand in the conteet, EnglantI will be likely to do so. In that case,France will probably help Bussia. Germany, of course, will go against France, and Austria and Italy, as parts of the Dreibund or Tripple Alliance, will have to go with Oemany. And so it is not impossible that the whole of Europe may become involved, and that we may in this way have the long expected European war. We hardly regard this result, however, as proba-ble, for while all of theee nations have laige armies equipped and drilled for war, there are none of them, perhaps, that feel just ready for it yet. Each is afraid that its enemy may have some advantage in number of soldiers or ship* or projectiles or something of the kind.

—Two weeks ago we published the following paragraph:

"Bbhop John Watterson, of Colum-bus, Ohio who is said to be an ardent Prohlfaltiottiat (rather a stnuige thing for a Catholic), iBsned a circular last RpriBg prohibiting admission to the membership In Catholic societies, aux-iliary to the church, of any saloon-keep-er, brewer or dlttUler. Hie rlrsulwr created sometiilng of a sensation in Catholic circles and aroused considers-

bio opposition, especially among the (ioriuanH. Satolli was called upon to dccido the matter, but lias not yet an-nounced biti decision. It is stated that sbuuld be favor tbo bishop dlsscution is iilioiy to result aiuoug tbo tieruian Catbulics."

Last week Satolli rendered his de-cision condemning the liquor trsliic and approving the ezpulsion of the liquor dealers from Catholic societies. In his decision, he says: ,

"Tbo licjuor traflic, and especially as conducted here in the United States, is tbo source of much evil, hence the Bish-op was acting within bis rights in seeking to restrict It. Therefore, the delegate apostolic sustains Bishop Watterson's action and approves of his circular and regulation concerning sa-loons and the e.\pulsionof saloon-keep-ers from uiombcrship In Catholic socle-tics."

Rev. Alexander P. Doyle, of the Paulist Fathers,the General Secretary of the Catholic Total Abetinenoe Union of 'America, is quoted as say-ing "that the declaration of the Apos-tolic Delegate is the most important ever pronounced by the Church in this country, and he thoughs its effect would be far-reaching." There are several things to be noticed about this decision: 1. That it comee pretty late. 2. That it created considerable sur-prise. Such a decision from the Bap-tist or Methodist or Presbyterian or any other religious denomination, ex-cept the Catholic, would have been taken as a matter of course, and would have occasioned no surprise. 8. That it causes no small dissatisfac-tion, and may result in dissention and division. This shows what a strong hold the saloons have upon the (^tho-lie Church, i . That the decision of Satolli does not say that saloon keep-ers shall not be members of the Cath-olic Church. As a matter of fact, very many are members, and we suppose will remain so. We are glad that Satolli has given his decision. It is a long step in the right direction for the Catholics, and we hope that it may lead to still further stepe. And then, if the decision should only have some influence upon the wine drinking prieete of the Catholic Church, or if it shaU lead in that direction, it will have had a greater effect that Satolli, perhaps, intended when he an-nounced it. And then, atill more, if it should have the effect of dissociat-ing the Catholics in this oountry from the liquor traffic, and should make them the allies of temperance instead of, as they have been heretofore, the allies of saloons, it would indeed have what Mr. Doyle called a "far-raachlng cffsct" But if that should be the case, the daya of sakwna would be numbeied, for it li behind the Catholics that the aaloou atanda an-trenohed.

EVI0EKCE8 OF CilRlSTUSITY. Tiie lilvidence From Mission His-

tory. BT ARTBUB T. PIEBSON, O.D., Author of •' Tbo CrlslB In MIBHIODII." ctc.

God framed not only the material worlds but the time worlds—the Ages. History is his story. Throughout all its progress his purpose unceasingly runs. Even the mystery of iniquity which is constantly at work is con-trolled, and will be ultimately con-quered by the will of God, after the purpoee of ita permission is fulfilled. This is the consistent and harmonious teaching of the Word of God from first to last.

This being so, there are depart-ments of history in which we may ex-pect to find the divine working pre-eminently conspicuous, as in some parts of a building the architect's skill will be moet prominent. There is more of his unique personality seen in column and capital, arohand dome, than in the rude, square base blocks, though he directs every detail. And so there is one part of God's great historic work which is a special revel-ation of his presence and power, and of which he says particularly, " L i I am with you alway,even unto the end of the Age"; and that is missions.

The history of missions not only furnishes, but constitutes in itself an evidence—nay, a volume of evidence —of supernatural power. It ia itself a miracle, both a demonstration and illustration of the presence and prrai-dence of a divine director and con-troller. Behind the changes of scene and actors in this great drama stands the Invisible One who worketh out His will both in the events and the men. These instances of such super-vision and interpoaition sweep round the whole circle of the continents and the whole t^cle of the ages, includ-ing at least twelve particulars:

1. Bemoval of obataolee, and open-ing doors of access to the nations.

2. Causing sudden subsidence of barriers at critical points and periods.

3. Baisingup'andpladng prepared workmen at strategic centers.

4. Controlling invention and dis-covery, and de^oping civilization by a plan.

6. Overruling human mistimes and failure, and hoatile persecutors.

6. Limiting and directing the pur-poees and activities of Individual Uvea.

7. Exhibiting atrategic wisdom in a colossal campaign covering the ages.

8. Tuning oriaee of history inoon-nection with united prayars of saint i.

9. Developing new agents and in-atramanta in a nuuifaat, proTldeBtial order.

l a Modifying eziattog evUa and

elevating the entire social level or plane.

11. Transforming, morally, individ-ual lives and even whole oommuni-tiee.

12. Accomplishing revolutions in ideas and habits far beyond human power.

While any one of these stranda of evidence might not in iteelf and alone be deemed sufficient to support the weight needful for satisfactory proof or witness, when these individual strands are braided into one, their united teetimony cannot be broken ; and in matters requiring not 'mathe-matical but moral evidence this joint testimony is what establishes moiral probability and brings convidion. The strength of an iron chain is measured by that of its weakest link; but the strength of a rope of many atrands is not limited by the holding or carrying power of ita weakeat. thread, but by the combined power of all that compoae it. Henoe, no man can justly eatimata the avidenoe supplied by misston h i s t ^ w h o idni-ply stands apart, and^ taking the atrands one by one judges by the ad-equacy of a single event or class of events; he must take the joint teeti-mony of all witnesses.

From theee modern signs and won-ders we are oompell^ fori lack of epace to aelect a few repreaeotaUve instances. Guir limits of discuadon compel brevity and admit but a few, yet even the few may auffioe; for If theee chosen almoet at random from a wide field do not carry oonviet^, it may be vain to adduce addittmal teetimony. It la of no use to pour more light upon an eye that tneeta more illumination only by mora i n -fraction. N ever yet hava we known a really candid mind which being confronted with thia evidence ramidn-ed u n ^ v i n o ^ ; and it has beoome to the writer^ after atudlaa in mis-aiona oondqoM for mora l|haa a quarter of-'a oentuiy, the stimdlng demonatnUon of aaupMrnatatali^w-er and proridenoe controlling unong men. I t is aafe to say that ao far as thoae ooaditiona of apoatoUo timea haiw been p r e s e n t , ham sorriTed or been revived, namely, apoatolic preaching, apostolic praying, and apostolic living, the wonders rsoordri in the Acta of the Apostles have been aubatantialiy reproduced.

BAPTIST Ain) 11EFJJ2CTOK. JULY 2«. 1894. Bibla and an uplifted pnyer under-took to Moum entranoe (or the Ooa-ptl and the land it had pervaded to tha liland Empin. The nest year China fcave enlarged treaty righta to tha two foiMDoat nationa that repre-aeat Protestant Ohrigtianity, and eren the inland part of the colossal mid-dle kingdom, representing one-fourth of the human race, was unlocked to the Gospel messenger and herald. At the same time Livingstone had gone to open a path to the arcana of Africa, and Stanley, twenty years later voiced the wants and appeal of Africa for the Christian world. It was in those five pivotal years, 1853 to 1858, that Turkey issued the fa-mous Hatti Humayum ; that the rev-oluUon in Uexico under Benito Jua-TVE drafted the new constitution de-manding liberty of faith, abolishing conventual establishments, confiscat-ing church properties and laying foundations for the Protestant mis-sions, which ten years later, in 1867, found shelter under the Republic. It was in 1858 that the British East India Company, which all uncon-sdously and und«signedly laid the basis for Christian missions in India, surrendered its territorial domain to the British crown and the era of Hindu enlightenment was rsally inaugurat-ed. Zenanas now flung open doors shut for millenniums, and the educa-tion and emandpation of woman in the Orient became a possibility. At the same time Papal Europe began to be unlocked. Spain had been for centuries aoaked with martyr's blood, and France had celebrated with Te Deum the massacre of Uie Huguenots. Italy forbade a Bible to be carried in a knapsack or a portmanteau by a traveler through its territory. But while Japan, China, India, and Mexi-co were opening long-shut gates. Pa-pal Europe waa feeling the throes of an earthquake that lasted for twelve years, until the Pope's temporal sov-ereignty became a memory of the past, and thirty ProtesUnt chapels stand in sight of the Vatican; until HcCall saites dot the soU of France, and the Bible carts stand with their waiea in the streets of Madrid I And now, even in Thibet Gk>d'a literal earthqudM ia unlocking Uie doors that have shut out all foreign devils from the shrine of the grand Lama of Buddhism. We are most blind to events that are occurring before our eyes, and in our own day.

Boards. Dear Bro. Folk;—I see an editorial

in the BAPTIST AND R E F L S o r o a of June 28th in which some strictures are of-fered for the benefit of thoee who criti-cise the Boards. And in the article you intimate that those who object to the Boards' plans as the best regard them with distrust as to their honeety 3 '^hat some of the money might stick in the hands of the Board."

Now, my brother, I think it is un-just that such intimations should be made. I have never heard an intima-tion from any one that they suspected any member of any of our Boards with dishonesty. I for one (and I am not the only one by many) believe that our Boards have become entirely too expensive. And y«t I know near-ly all of the managers of all our Boards in person, and know them to be men of sterling intsgrity. Tet I unhesitatingly aay that there ia a de-gree of extravagance in the manage-ment of our mission funds that ought not to be.

Bro. Folk suggests that all such as believe this ought to get oat and Ist the Boards alone. 1 do not propose that you ahall get rid of me so easily. I never expect to flee an evil while there ia hope of correcting it. I waa one of the committee on recommenda-tions when our Association agreed to turn her means over to the Board. Tou invited us in and we are going to atay with you. It is true my churohee at my'auggeation have turned their oontributions aside for the time being to meet an incldential emergency.

Again, Bro. Folk intimatea that we ought not to critioiBe. What ahall we do theni Wa have no control over the money whatavar; either where or how It ahaU be apant; who shaU ba amployad or what th^y ahall be paid. Hraoa, thwa ia aothtog k f t for na to do bat fnmlah the monaj, and If wa Innilah tha mooaiy «« ought to ba al-

lowed to criticise its use. And if the criticisms ars conflned to the Boards themselves, they certainly cannot be regarded unjust.

I believe there is a better and a more acriptural plan, but we have nothing to do with that plan now. This is the plan we are at work at. Bro. Folk suggests that the Boards are "really paying i n s t i t u t i o D s " in misaion work. Now, let's look at the facts as we find them in their reports. Taking the work of the four Boards of our State, we find that the total amount of funds raised in the State for State work were $11,298.65. The expenses of these Boards were |5,175.-79. leaving a balance of $ti,12286, lacking only the small sum of fl73.-53 of requiring half the amount col-lected to pay tbe expenses of the Boards. This is our State^work as a whole. This does not look much like a paying institution to me.

Then take the three Boards of the Southern Baptist Convention and tbe expense of running these Boards last year was $37,09287. Now. I confsHS that this looks like quite a sum to us who live-in the country where they talk about hard times. In this account occurs the salaries of three men at $2,500 each, making an aggregate of $7,500. And besides this, the Boards pay all their incidental oxpenses, in-cident upon their official work, travel-ing fxpsDses, etc. Now, Bro. Folk, ia it right for the pastors of our coun-try to go to their churches and secure mission contributions which often-times come from their extreme pover-ty (for it is not the rich that support our causes) and then it be taken and appropriated to $2,500 salaries f Bro. Folk, ia it right and juat for our pas-tors to live on salaries ranging from two to six hundred dollars and pay all their own traveling expenses and then be goaded weekly if they do not collect enough money to pay our mis-sionaries and pay these exorbitant salaries and furnish the. wherewith for them to ride in their Pullman sleep-ers as they go on their workt

la it right to pay men who are here at home in a land of peace and securi-ty $2,500 while tbe poor missionaries who are braving the dangers of sickly climates, wild beasts a nd hoatile foes to preach the gospel to the lost, only get six hundred dollars of the same kind of money? And then when a debt is contracted they talk of cutting down the salaries of the poor over-worked missionaries to meet the emer-genciea. Ia it right f

If it is not right, sooner or later it must change. Like a smouldsring volcano this matter la boiling all over our country, and if not corrected some day it will burst upon us like a mighty cyclone.

Wisdom would sajr that wa should wake up to the situation and take time by the forelock. J. H. Obime.

Watartown, Tenn. Information Wanted.

. Dear Bro Folk:-! have been very much interested in tha discussion be tween ^ro. G. A. Lofton and several of tha brethren on tha aubjsot of Cal-vinism; but the doctors diaagrae, and gienerally when thia is the caaa tha pa< tiant diaa; but in thia caaa thaia it 00 fear of auch a taault, as tha patiant (the dnnar) la already dead, and tha qaaation Is, can tha poor daad dnnw bring himaelf to Ufa,'or in u y way rid in doing no, and thna akot bim«

lelf to eternal life? The pointa I de-sire information upon are thaais:

la man really and truly dead in ainT ts it trua tiiat men in tliia condition

by nature hate Ood and love ain? Can man of hia own will change hii

affections, so long aa the object of hia iSve or hatred remain the same toward him?

Does God, the object of the sinner's hatred, change so as to enable the sinner to love him?

Does sin, the object of the sinner's love, change so as to enable tbe sin-ner to hate it?

Is it not true that men will natural-ly follow after and cleave to what they love and turn away from what they hat«T They hate Ood and lore ain.'

Can man truly repent so long OR hatred is in his heart toward God?

Does not true repentance proceed from love rather than from fear!

Will men commit their eternal in-terests to a being whom they hateT

Is not man justly condemned be-cause of the sin of unbelief proceeding from a heart full of hatred towards God*

Can man who is justly condemned ever by any act declare himself inno-cent?

Is not roan absolutely an object of the mercy of GodT

Are not the eleoting.lthe saving and the justifying acts God's absolutelyT

If this is true, who can tell when these take place in the Divine mindt

Can the finiti understand or com-prehend the infinite?

Do not the Scriptures teach that man by nature knows not Ood?

Is knowledge innate or does it have to be communicated?

If it is communicated, does it not come through the senses of the eye, ear or feeling?

Do not the Scriptures teach that we are blind, deaf, and past feeling?

Has the sinner any power to quick-en these senses?

If man cannot quicken these senses, and he is destitute of this saving knowledge, which is eternal life (John xvii. 3). may we not conclude with Paul that it is all of grace? S.M.G.

ILLUSTBATION. The sinner standing on Mt. Sinai

before Moses and the Law, with the burden of sin upon his back, and pierced by a thunderbolt of convic-tion; then in the valley of repentance with the burden atill on his back, but with his faoe and his footsteps to-wards Calvary and the Cross; and finally he is on Calvary at the feet of Christ and the Cross in the full devel-opment of saving faith—with the bur-den of sin rolled off. Faith is simply repentance beginning in conviction on the top of Sinai and at the feet of MosssandtheLaw; while repentance is simply faith consummated in love on the top of Calvary and at the feet of Christ and the Cross—with the burden of guilt gono. The Law is our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ and while regeneration begins in the thunderbolt of conviction by which God intarpenetratea the soul, conver sion ends in the complete work of re pentance and faith by which the soul turns from sin to Christ.

By conversion we do not mean here the outward change of life, or char acter, which is the result of conver sion; nor do we mean here every sub-sequent turning of the Christian from sin, which is alao called conversion, and which is only an evidence of our original conversion. "Second conver sion," as it is sometimes called, is only a manifestation of the first con-version; and while accompanied by all the elements of the first conver-sion, such aa repentance and faith, second converalona never imply any regenerate change of our ruling dis position, but only a renewal of grace and a restoration to the joy of our salvation, as in the case of David anc' Peter. I t must be remembered al-waya that regeneration is not sancti-flcation; and aa there may be fluctu ations in our growth in grace and knowledge, every renewal or coming back to Christ afresh is but the evi-dence of our original and atema change ia regeneration. Of this we ahall aaa further under the head 0* Final Perseverance.

Convaraion proper, or that aplrtiua and radical change by which the sou enter$ into a atate of aalvation, is the subject ander consideration. It ia that voluntary change of mind by

swhich the sinner turna from sin to Christ-Hind staya changed. Aa in timatad heretofore, convaraion ia the h u i ^ aide of thia change of which tagrauaticm ia tha divina aide; anc aa rsgaaeration ia the "causaUva agency" of tha Holy Spirit in this Chang*, convaiaion ia tha '^rduntaiy aetivitj" of num ia tha aama change •ofUaral&igdiapodUon.

co operating in this change with it* obverse and adverse side; and while David cries out: "Create in me a clean heart. O God," God cries out to Israel: "Make you a new heart." "Turn us, O God of our salvation," cries the Psalmist; "turn yourseWee and live," is the cry of God to Israel.

Tbe apostle Paul combinea the two-fold idea in one sentence: "Work out your salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God that worketh in you both to will and to do of his g o ^ pleasure." In other words, man ivorka out what God ivorks in him; and hence we discover the in-separable divine and human aspects of that change of the soul which is doubly represented by regeneration and conversion. In neither aspsct is there any coercion of man's will, nor constraint of his activity. The spirit-ually dead soul is interpsi^etrated and quickened by the Spirit, in the ration-al per.»ption of the Truth; and in-stead of violating man's freedom he receives real liberty and ability to act voluntarily in the exercise of. repent-ance toward God and of faith to-ward Christ After all, man is re-generated and converted in the ex-ercise of his own will and freedom— passively and unconsciously yielding under God'a cauaative agency, and actively and consciously turning through the exeroise of repentance and faith—how, we do not know, aince God'a mode of co operation with man in regeneration and convaraion is a mystery. "The wind blowath where it listeth; * *s6i8 every one that is born of the Spirit." Some how inan offers liimself willingly in the day of Gad'a power.

Now conversion haa two elements, the one negative and the other posi-tive. The negative element in con-veraibn ia repentance by which the sinner turns from ain; the poaitive element in converaion ia faith by which, at the same time, ha tuma to Cluriat Having considered tha aa-tut* of conversion aa tha human aa-pect of that change of mind of which reganeration ia tha divina aapect, lat aa now conaidar tha two alemanta which conatituta convaraion—rapaat-and faith.

1. Bapaotanca iavdvaa the whola miod aa it ia adaatifloailj compia-hMidad a i ^ iatdlact, aanaibiUty

'and will. It 'n purejy an iuward grace, or stat?, of the soul, and is not to be confounded with outward turn-ing, or change of life, which are "the fruits worthy of repentance." Zac-cheus quit hia meanness and turned to doing good; but his reformation which followed his regeneration and conversion was only the fruita of his repentance and taith. Repentance is not only a negative element in con-version, but it is the negative means by which salvation ia made manifest to the soul. Contrary to the Romish doctrine of repentance which includea contrition, confession and satisfac-tion, and which makea it the "merit-orious ground of pardon," repent-ance not only has no merit aa an "off-set to the claims of the law," but apart from faith in Christ it would only be "ground for guilt unremoved" —a sorrow, too, which is "not the mere product of human will, but the gift of Ood." Evangelical or saving repentance ia inseparable from aav-ing faith in Christ; and while repent-ance ia logically, it ia not chronologi-cally, precedent to faith. They both go bo the r , and they are both inaep-arable evidence of regeneration as the inseparable elementa of conversion. In which, at the same time, a man turns from ain he turna to Chriat But let ua consider repentance, ac-cording to ita acriptural and logical analysis, as comprehending the whole soul:

(1). Intellectually, repentance rec-ognizas ain in tha light of the law (Bom. 3:20), by which "comeUi the knowledge of ain." and in thia recog-nition ia involved tha mental convic-tion of "peraonal guilt, defilement and helplesanesa," as in tha caaa of David, whoaa ain waa "aver before" him, and who "acknowledged'*^ h b transgreasion againat God "only" and only in his "alght" To ao recognise aia aa to ba ashamed of it, or to abhor it, for personal conaiderationa,, wiUi out conceiving ita offensivensaa to Qod, doaa not constitute tha intaUact-aai alamant ia repantance; and to quit yoarmaannesa for auch a conaid-arattoo, without Ood in it, oonstitataa no part of ooavai4on,or tha fraita tharof.' I

(2). Heartily, or aanaibly, rapaot-aaca iavolfw a aotiow for tin aa •gdnatOod, aa ribhomat io itadf

and as defilement to ouraelvea. A man must not only have a legal eight of sin, but a gospel sense of ain; and it muat make a man cry to Ood: "Be merciful to me the ainner," in tha language of the publican; or in the language of David who wdled out in the anguish of his heart: "Create in me a clean heart, O God. * * Deliver me from blood guiltineas, O God." Here ia a "godly aorrow" involved "which worketh repentance unto aal-vation'V-not a wCrldly aorrow which worketh femorae unto death, as in the case of Judaa, betwaaa whom and Peter and David there waa a big dif-ference.

(8). WUlingly, or voluntarily, re-pentance involvea that "inward turn-ing from sin" which criea for forgiva-ness and seeks deliverance from tha guilt and defilement of ain. "Waah me," said David, "and I ahaU ba whiter than anow." BapenUnce meana nothing if the will ia not ia-volved; and this element indudea the intellectual and tha emotional, aa exprea&ed by the Greek word, meta-no»a, a change of mind, or 'purpoaa, based upon a raconaidaratimi which impliaa "an abandonmant of paat opiniona and purpoaaa, and tha adop-tion of othan which are diffaiaaC aa Dr. 'Boyce expresaaa it. I W e must be (1) tha qngnosis heamarUae, or knowledge of ain; (2) tha metante-lomai, or sorrow for aio} aad (8) tha metanoia, or change of a ^ or par-poae with refeianca to ain. Bqwnt-anca then ia complete in ita Baving, or evangelical aenaa, according to tha Scriptaraa.

2. Thia brings us to the conaidara-tion of faith, the poaltiva alemaot in convaraion. Dr. Hodga davotaa aar-anty-three pagea to faith without par-ticular treatment of repantanpa; aad ao of moat tiieologiana of lacant data who give to faith tha ouatif aotaU the prominence. I^ .

of ravaUtioB a i « fact andrwognition of salTation by Christ as "an objao-UT« raality." The deriU^ so "beUer* and tremble;" and so do thousands of men. Nioodemiu admitted that he thus believed >in Christ when he came to him b j night; and in the manuals and ceremonies of Masons, Odd Fellows and other orders we see an exhibition of historical faith which involves no heartj assent to Ood's truth and no voluntary trust in the Lord Jesus Christ—no salvation by grace.

2. Faith is an emotional assent to the truth of revelation and of salva-tion by Jesus Christ which, if it goes no further, is but a delusive and tem-porary acceptance of the facts with out any alteration of purpose or life by the grace of God. The "stony ground" believer who "joyfully" re-ceived the word, "ran well for awhile," and then "fell away" when tempta-tion came, is a case in point. Simon Msgus is another illustration of false profession based upon mere emo-tional assent to the truth of Christ, without having received Christ in the heart

3. The voluntary element of faith consists in absolute trust in Christ for salvation. This element includes both the intellectual and emotional, but it goes farther in the voluntary surrender of the soul to Christ and in the appropriation of his sacrifice as all-sufficient for the pardon or claims-ing of the soul from the giiilt of sin. There is such a thing as believing about Christ—of assenting heartily and enthusiastically to the truth of Christ—without any change of will or of the ruling disposition of the soul; but when the repentant sinner,

V believing and assenting to the truth as it is in Jeaus with all the heart, •urrendera mind, heart and will to Christ, then we have salvation by grace through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. This is voluntary 'trust in Christ as a personal Savior; and this is saving faith in its last analysis and in its full development Zaccheus, the thief on the Cross, the weeping wo-man at Jeaus' feet, Lydia, the jailer, had.-faith thus developed, and eo of all who have ever been saved.

Bepantanca and faith aa elements of conversion are not ohionologically aubsequent, n(nr precedent, to lagen-nation. They are the accompani

menta of regeneration. To say that a man is bom again before be repents, or trusts, is to assume life without flvidenoe or manifestation; and to aay that a man repenta and believes befoia he ia regenerated ia to aay that he haa life manifaat before he ia alive unto Ood, or that ha produoea the new birth in himself. Faith ia the •videnoe of laganeration, not the causa of it—the laadinm through which aalvation ia manifest aa the condition to i t "Every one who believaa that Jeaua ia the Chriat hath been begotten of God." (1 Jno. 5:1) "Aa many aa received him, to them gave ha tha right to beoome tha chil-dren of Ood, even to them that be-Uava on hia nama: who were bmrn not of blood, nor of tha will of tha flsah, nor of tha will of man,batot Ood." (Jna 1:12,18). It is thna that wa aia " aU tha aoos of God by faith" (GaL 8:26); far it ia thua that aU tha aona of Ood baliava. Tha oondltiaoa to aalvation ara nganmtioo and om-•viloQ of whidi fapoitanoa and faith wa inaapanhla damanta, or aoeom-

paniments, chronologically contem-poraneous, however logically sepa-rated or distinguished. He that be-lieveth on the Son hath everlasting life-why T Bemuse he that hatif everlasting life believeth on the Son. Salvation is an objective result de-pendent upon an internal condition; that condition is regeneiation, or everlasting life, accompanied by con-version, the two essential elements of which are repentance and faith, "By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of Ood: not of works lest any man should boast. For we are bis workminship created in Christ Jvsua

unto good tcorks" (Eph . 2: 8 10); not

on account of "good works," nor on account of "yourselves."

Faith, like repentance, is a factor developed in the soul by the regener-ating act of God—the one negative the other poeitive; and faith as the positive factor is the source of good works. "Faith without works is dead;" but that faith which is the "gift of Ood" and the "fruit of the Spirit" always "works by love" and brings forth the fruit of obedience Faith itself is called a "work" and "law;" but it is the "trork of Ood" in the heart—the law of life wrought in th0 soul—snd is not to be confound ed with the fruits of love and obedi ence, nor with the Law of Ood which it obeys. Paul expressly excludes it from the category of works as ground of salvation. We are"justi fied by faith apart from the law." "To him that worketh not but believ-eth on him that justifieth the un-godly, his faith is reconed for right eousn^as." (Bom. 3: 28; 4: 4, 5,16) This ia saving faith-the "act of the empty soul receiving," which becomes the "act of the full soul bestowing;" and being the gift of Ood in regen eration it is susceptible of God's " in crease" in sanctification. (Luke 17 6). Its object is Christ in particular and God's whole truth in general its ground is God's external word ol promise, and its assurance is the in-ward witness.of the Spirit as we ful-fil the conditions of God's promise. (Bom. 4: 20,21; 8: 16; Eph. 1: 18; Jno. 4:13; 6: 10).

Bev. W. Y. Quisedborry presented the history, organization, purposes

Big Hatctaie Association.

The Big Hatchia Association met at Brighton Baptist Church, in Tip ton County, Tenn., Wednesday, July 20,1894, in the midst of showers of rain that were showers of blessings to the growing crops in the country around.

Tha former Moderator, Judge J. H. Eitea, called the meeting to order, and the former Clerk, Bev. I. P. Trotter, proceeded to call the list of ohurchee oompoaing the Association and enroll the delegates. Thsra wera preaent at the first aome thirty aix delegates.

On permanent organization, Hon. P. T. Glass, of Biplay, was chosen Moderator on tha third ballot Bev. I. P. Trotter waa elected Clerk, and H. q. Baker waa elected Traasurar.

In tha absence of this appointee, Bav. Nathan Maynard. Bar. J . 1. Ayras, hia altamate, preached the in-ti^uctory sermon. Bro. Maynaid was .praaant tha next day in good ahapa. Ha had Iktaly married* wife, and ao oonld not ooma.

Bev. T. T. Thonlpacai i»aaaoted tha daiffis of tha BapUst OrphaQa* Horn*, •nd a good sum for tha aappoit, and

and prospects of the Sunday-sohoo! and Colportage Board.

Hon. P, T. Glass read the report on Publications, to which Dr. Nunnally and Brethren W. Y. Qaisenberry anc H. B. Folk spoke. It was a most ex cellent report, and recommended in strong terms to the brotherhood the Association the BAPTIST AND RE-

rLECTOB and the Convention Series o Sunday-school literature.

The report on Education was read by President Carey A. Folk, of the Brownsville Female College. It reo ommended to the patronage of the denomination that time-honored insti tution of learning, now in its forty third year, and never better prepared to do more solid work in that line The report also recommended the Southwestern Baptist University at Jackson, and it was spoken to by I'rof. fl. C Irby, the lovable and now ven erable professor of mathematics in that University.

The report on State MissioDs was read by Dr. Nunnally, of Memphis It was spoken to by the Secretary o the State Mission Bosrd, Dr. A. J Holt.

A resolution was adopted recom mending all moneys for Foreigo Home and State Missions, for the Or phans' Home, Ministerial Relief snd Ministeral Education be sent direct to the State Convention Treasurer, W. M. Woodcock, with directions to him how to apply same, and receipts returned and credits given.

The ladies' meeting, presided over by Mrs. H. B. Folk, was much enjoy-ed. The various reports showed that the ladies had been earnestly and ac-tively at work. It was addressed by Rev. Nathan Maynard, who, with his newly married wife, goes to Japan in September.

The attendance at this meeting of BigHatchie Association was unusual-ly large. The spirit of harmony and unity was plainly manifest.

The good people of Brighton and vicinity entertained the delegates and visitors most hospitably. Bountiful dinners of the best in the land, weilt~" seasoned, and served on improvised tables on the ground under the shade of the grand forest trees, were free to all, Watar,asuppiosed indispensable element with Baptists, was abundant, clear, cool and delicious, from the seven springs near by.

Brethren B. 0. Craig and E. A. Taylor, of the Memphis Association, but formerly of the Big Hatchie As sociation, were preaent.

The Association for 1895 will be lield with the Baptist Church at zion, six miles west of Brownsville.

^ i th the greatest harmony tha various subjects were discussed and larger plans were laid for another year.

Dr. Bell made a happy showing for the Sunday-school ^ a rd of the Southern Baptist Convention, and if possible increased the popularity of the series in Mississippi, where scarce-ly any other is used.

Dr. Tichenor and Dr. Willingham will wait a long time, I think, before they ever make better addresses on Home and Foreign Missions.

Dr. Whitsitt simply stood up and asked the brethren to care for the Mississippi Itoys at the Seminary, and smiled as only "Billie" can. And they gave till he said "Stop, brethren, I have all I want/'

The newspaper brother was on baud in large proportions. Dr. Har-vey of the Wejitem Jtecorder pressed

its claim with an air of one who rec-ognizes his territory, and took back a large list, as he always does. Dr. Harvey is a great favorite in Missis-sippi, and is always welcome.

But the interest centered in the question of a State paper. The Record has long claimed to be and been recog-nized as the organ in Mississippi. But recently Dr. W. A. Hurt of Win-ona has been publishing The Baptist

lAiyman. And it grows rapidly in popularity and in subscribers. And the liecord will have to stir its legs a little or the lAtyman will win its way to the largest number of homes. But these Mississippi BaptistM are always most cordial and friendly, even when they diffar about a question.

The Jackson Church and Mission Rooms is progressing nicely and safe-y under the wise leadership of H. F. Jproles, the pastor. But it still needs lelp and gets it

It was very pleasant to meet the friends of other days at the Conven-tion, and to make new ones. And es-pecially pleasant to meet the bishop of Brownsville, Tenn., Bev. I. P. Trotter, who was at bis old home. And a joy to share the hospitality of J. C. Purnell, in company with Bro. Willingham. 1 had to leave on Sat-urday night, so did not get to hear all. O. L. H.

Many hearta were made to swell and many eyes to leak. A collection was taken up at the close of the forenoon aervice, and in spite of the scarcity of money they raised $5.25, which the children decided should, go to the Orphana' Home at Nashville. An intermission of two hours was given in which we enjoyed a aumptuous dinner and plenty of ioe water. Wa repaired to the church and had several recitations and beau tiful addresses from Prof. H. T.

—Perhape I have neglected a duty to our colportage work in failing to report a visit I made aomeUme ago to Parton's School house, near EsUll Springs. Bro. Wintere and our young BrO. J . H. Moore had been engaged in evangelistic work then for some time, and the blessings of God seemed to rest upon their labors, and the people were anxious to have a church organized or constituted. So I absented myself from my pulpit, being at that time pastor hen, and with my family I visited the good people of whom I had heard ao much. I found them engaged in Sunday-school work, and quite a good crowd had gathered. The apacial interaat in the work to me waa the fact thrt our church at Winchester had opened a mission station out Uien aavaral montha pnvioua to myg(^ng. I ex-pounded to them the goapel H taught by Baptists, and eight or ten joined in constituting the ohuroh, which waa named BeUieada. Bro. Geo. Parton waa elected to the office of deacon and Bro. J .

In 1870 the political and socisl at mospb«ra all <mx China became filled with bitter anlmoeity towards for-eiiinen, and the moat ontrsfteous Tioes were attrihnted to them. A vile book iaBoed by some one in Hunan and acatteied throughout the empire, called "The Death Blow to Corrupt Doctrines," fired the public mind by gathering ap th«se rumors, adding more to them and advising the exter-mination of the hated race. Some of these accusations were couched in such obscene language that the trans-latoia of the book omitted certain portions for the sake of decency. Reports flew about that all foreigners were to be killed or driren out of the country. Such rumors had gained currency so often that we were not in-clinkl to |[(iT« heed to them until at last they culminated in the "Tientsin Massacre," a tragedy that made the world's hair stand on end. Innocent men, women and children were sud-denly seized, tortured and slsin in a mpst horrible manner. The Boman Catholic orphan asylum, cathedral and other buildings at Tientsin were burned to the ground, the aative of-ficials not lifting a hand for the pro-tection of life or property. The suf-ferers ware mostly French, but the Chinese masses did not distinguish nationalitise. Mews of the atrocity, eren some of the details, reached us at Tung Chow before the dsed was actually perpetrated; showing oon-clusiTely that the plana were well matured and widely known. Our position now'became critical: The gantry of our city held meetings to discuss the situation. A proposition was made to send a committee for the purpose of examining Dr. Matur's cellar to see if the tjmt and hearts of murdoed Chinese women and chil-dren were there secreted. Howem, one of thdr number who had been a frequent viaitor at our houses, had seen the cellar In proossa of construc-tion and knew its dssigo, dissuaded

Presbyterian missions became alarm-ed and some of them fled to their homos. Spies came prowling around our houses, asking to see their inter-nal arrangements, and it was thought beat to allow them to do so. The stories increased in number and in-tensity as they flew from mouth to mouth; the people scowled upon us as we walked the streets, and even old acquaintances feared to let us enter their homes. Finally the mis-sionaries requested the Msgistrate to issue a proclamation denying the re-ports, so as to quiet the people, but when he declined to do this, saying there was no danger, we decided in council to leave the city and retire to Che foq until there should be a change in the public mind. As it would have been difficult for us all to secure na-tive conveyances at once, and we fear-ed being attacked on the way, we dis-patched a messenger to the U. S. Consul at Chefoo asking for a gun-boat to transport us to that plnce. Chefoo had also passed through a panic, many of the ladies fleeing on ship board for safety while the gen tlemen stood guard in the streets of the settlement. There being no American war vessel in port at the time, the British Admiral generously sent up one which took us all to Che foo except Messrs. Crawford and Matur who, remained in order to ar-range for the security of our mission houses. Having placed the keys in the hands of the Magistrate they fol-lowed a few days later by land. Our sudden departure on bsard a man-of-war broke the spell and the people looked at each other in dumb amaze-ment. The officials awakM to the fact that grave responsibility rested upon them, and when, nearly two month* afterwards, we returned ini a U. S. war steamer, the Chief Man rin promised to give us ample tection, requesting the gentlemen oj the missions to go directly to him should there be any threats of dis-turbance. This pledge has been faithfully kept by the successive in-cumbents of the office down to the present time.

A number of persons were baptized soon after our return to Tung Chow, those professing Christianity being nothing daunted by the dangers which seemed to threaten. Mrs. Hartwell "fell on sleep" a few days befon the Tientsin massacre and so esraped its attendant troubles.

From the beginning of our resi-dence in Tung Chow we noticed the presence of an impression in the pub-lic mind regarding the missionariea which we had never observed at Shanghai. The people looked upon UB as possessing a kind of political power that would give us a mighty in-fluence with their Bfandarins. In consequence of thia belief they con-stantly sought our aid in their law* suits. This impression may have arisen from the conditions under which we aetUed |among them—just at the end of the war between China and the "Allies." By this war tiie Chinese supposed themaelvea subju-gated, and thought that forrignera, coming as conquerors, would be able to have ev«7thing their own way. The mlsaionariM could have readily corrected theM erroneous opinionB had their native employee not helped to keep them alivib We learned many

them bom thrir purpose. His aer- j w n Bfterwards'why our reiterated vanta audsiudents of the Baptist and | Masrtions to the contnrywere unheed-

ed, while Uie popular belief in our official power constantly increased. One of the main causes was as fol-lows:

A man named Tso, who came from Shanghai as Mr. HartweH'a native "assistant," had spent much of his life in the office of his Mandarin brother, and waa consequently con-versant with the various ins and outs of that most corrupt of all places. Taking advantage of the prevailing impression, TBo gave it out that he was interpreter and general man-ager for the foreigners and could in-duce them to do whatever he chose. People soon began to go to him with their lawsuits, begging him to iutet-cede with the foreigners to bring their prestige to bear upon their cases. The opposer was as a rule the man who had the money, and it was the money more than the 'power which Tso co7eted. He gained a number of suits and was handaomelj reward-ed. On a certain occasion, by false representations, he induced the mis-sionary to accompany him to the Tamenof the city Magistrate and in-tercede for an oppressor, who thereby gained his case. The Mandarins themselves seemed to stand in some indefinable dread of offending the foreign powers, the feeling being secretlr fostered by Mr. Tso. But "murder will out," and in process of time he wns dismissed from employ-ment and excluded from the church for other transgressions, years having elapsed before much of his lawsuit rascaliUes came to light. It required long and patient effort after his career at Tung Chow was ended before we could counteract his influence and exterminate thia wide-spread evil. Nay, even yet some of the native Christians claim that missionaries should manage their lawsuits, protect them from peraecution, maintain their cause in all controversies and aid in the collection of their bad debts. What a stronghold these ideas had upon the community, and how they were sometimes u s ^ , let two instances illustrate.

1. A bachelor named Tsei living in a village twenty miles from Tung Chow, professing deep interest in the gospel, came to Mr. C. repeatedly for religious instruction. He also occa-sionally attended the Sunday services at Sunkia, and several of the brethren from that neighborhood visited him. He groaned over bis sins, studied the Bible, and seemed diligent in pray-er. But somehow he failed to secure our confidence and his repeated ap-plications for baptism were deferred. Finally, becoming impatient, he went down to Chefoo and applied for bap tism to Dr. W. of the Scotch Presby-terian Mission, Dr. W. learning that Tsei bad been under Mr. C's. instruc-tion, wrote to know if there were suf-ficient reasons for refusing baptism to such an eameat inquirer. Mr. C. replied, giving some auapiciona as to the man's aincerity. Sometime after thia Dr. W. wrote again saying that Taai had quite gained hia confidence; that Mr. C's. auspioiona must be groundleas, and ha felt it hia duty to baptize him. Mr. O. in reply said it waa' B matter Dr. W. must decide for himaalf, but suggested tiiat it might be wall to ^ve Mr. TmI no viaterial benefit for his profeeaion of Chriati-snity. Dr. W. received him and, for m time, all went oh anioothly. But attar Bwhito M took hia oottain'B

wife, which had been hia object from the first. His outraged fellow vil-lagers, notwithatanding hia having joined the "foreigner'a church," gave him a terrible beating Bud returned the woman to her husband. Now came his opportunity to use the for-eigner. He accordingly brought hia case of sufferings for ChrisVa sake before Dr. W. and desired him to have his persecutors severely punish-ed. Dr. W., by some means (|t is often very difficult to get the truth in such cases), finding out the real atate of affairs refused aid and aharply re-buked him for Itiis wickedness. With this hi9 Christianity ceased and we heard no more of him.

2. Bro. Kwo, an earnest Christian, of our church, consulted Mr. C. in re-gard to lending a considerable amount of his hard earned money to Mr. Lee, a friend and neighbor, for the purpose of setting up some busi-nnss. Mr. Lee was to do the work and the two were to share the profits equally. Mr. C. advised against the partnership, reminding him that Mr. Lee was borrowing in every direction and, ae was well known, never paid his debts. But Mr. Lee's fair prom-ises gained the day, and as anticipat-ed Kwo could recover neither profits , nor capital. Seeing this, Bro. Kwo came to Mr. C., his pastor, urging that he must make Lee return his money. Mr. C. told him he feared his efforts in this direction would be vain. To this Bro. Kwo replied that Mr. C. should take the case to the Mandarin. Mr. C. insisted that col-lecting debts was no part of his min-isterial duty; whereupon Bro. Kwo went about among the brethren com-plaining of Mr. C. for this neglect of pastoral obligation. The native pas-tor of the other church was very much exercised on the subject and told Kwo to try Mr. C. again, and "if he refuse to take up the case," he contin-ued, warmly, "come to me, I'll do what I can for you, though you are not a member of my church." Bro. Kwo died without collecting the debt, and his father and brothera complain-ed bitterly against Mr. C. because he declined to take up the matter.

These views of the missionaKies' relations to the native Christians so filled the atmosphere around us that it required the utmost vigilance and firmness on Mr. C's, part to maintain his proper position as a religious teacher. Hia course, though disap-pointing their falso expectations, was the only true and healthy one. Some missionaries, unfortunately, yielding to the pressure, have fallen into the anare, to the unspeakable injury of the cause of ChriBtianity in China.

Missions in Tennessee. Is our mission deatitution greater

I have been here in the Indian Territory two jaata. I have worked as B miBsIonary moat of the time. I have learned something of the oondltiona of the oqnhtry.

that have been aettied for thirty or forty years where there has never been « Baptist sermon preached. The tide of emigration is great in this Ter-ritory now. People are coming from erery State in the Union.

With the great tide of people com-ing to the Territory, a great number tre Baptists. Baptist preachers are leaving the old States, coming to thia western country, thinking that when they get West they will find a great field of destitution, where there are no Baptists nor Baptist preaching. But when they arrive they soon find out that Baptists and Baptist preachers are plentiful.

In Texas there are over a thou sand Baptist preachera without regu Isr work. It is true it is more or less 80 in all the States. I take the posi-tion that there is more destitution of Missionary Baptist preaching in Ten-nessee than there is in the Indian Ter-ritory or Texas. Therefore, brethren, you that are in Tennessee doing good work for the Master, do not seek to come West to^nd a better field and more destitution. Think about your own field. How many preachers live in your community t How many country towns are there in Tennessee without Baptist preachingT How many communitiest

I was made to feel sad the other day when reading a letter from a friend in Middle Tnunessee. He is a Hardshell. He is about forty-five years old. He saidyin his letter that he had never heard but two Mission-ary Baptist sermons, and the reason he had not heard any more was be-r«use there are no Missionary Bap-tists in that country. He said if the Missionary Baptists were right, that country needed their preaching as bad as any country in the world. Dear brethren of Tennessee, stick to your own field. Preach miBsions, talk up collections. Help your Sec-retary, Bro. Holt, so that he may be able to eend consecrated men to such fields of destitution.

There are really but few communi-ties in the Indian Territory but have heard Baptist preaching. It is true there are a great number of Indians that have never heard any Baptist preaching, but we white preachers cannot do them much good unless we understood their language. Do not think that the mission work is not great in the Territory, but think that it ia greater in the State in which you live than here. In thinking this you willalwaya be willing to help your Secretary.

Some men say when they leave a country they bum the bridge behind them. But I shall never bum the grand old bridge that leads to Ten-neasee. I hope that I maybe able yetinaome way to h~el]|> the mission cause in the grand old State.

and then write aa though it was Cal-vinism straight, and then take the objectionable halvea of tiie two doc-trines and throw them at myself aa absurdities and the correlativee of apostasy.

Just why Bro. Lofton did noE give Webster's or some other authority for the definition of his doctrines, shows that the definitions were for Bro. Lof-ton'e peculiar notion of election. Just why he charges me with confounding Calvinism with hyper-Calvinism, and then not even attempting to show wherein I did this, shovrs his gift in unsupported statements with a won-derful deal oT presumption. Until Dr. Lofton shows my definitions as given in my last to be incorrect, they stand as true. And notwithstanding Dr. Lofton's great ability, his bundle of theology on election ehall be shorn of its drapery and the light of truth turned on to it.

Dr. Lofton's technical terms,such as efficient, permissive, certainty, neces sity, etc., only serve to hide the naked truth from the reader. He says I con found the efficient with the permis-sive decrees of Ood, but he don't prove it, nor attempt to do so. Now any school girl knows very well that a permissive decree must not an tag onize an efficient decree; that a per-missive decree is but a part of an ef-ficient decree, as it must of necessity tM in direct harmony with it. To aay that Ood efficiently decreed the un conditional election and ultimate sal-vation of Mr. A. and permissively de-creed the damnation of Mr. B. is to say that the latter decree was em-l}0(lied in the former, since Ood couU

ConditloDBl Salvation. In Dr. Lofton's last say on condi-

tional salvatioD, to my aurpriae I find that he takm a column and a half of valuable space In the BArasT and BBrLKOTOB in defining Calvinism, liy' perCalvinlBm, i^miniaDism, fataliBm eto. And what is mora surprising, is that the definitions are all Dr. Lof ton'a without authprity.. It ia funny to see Dr. Lofton Uka the best half of OalTinism and the beat half of Ar-ndnitniBm'and pat them together.

not permit an undecreed action or event. But let us suppose Dr. Lof-ton's explanatory phrasee to be apt| thou we l^ve God efficiently decree ng the lincoBditional election

some and permissively decreeing the damnation of many. Now which o tho two decrees is the oldest-the ef-icient or the permissive T If decrees at all, they both must run back to the same date, since in theology de-cree means the predetermined pur-pose of God. Then for God to per-mit a ainner to be lost is but an exe-cution of his permissive decree, am to save a sinner is but an execution of his efficient decree. Then both decrees are alike in origin and simi-lar in effect-one saving, the other damning. /

Now this is both dangeroua and unscriptural fataUsm gone to seed -two seedism of a good type—Lofton-ism straight.

If God permissively decreed the damnation of Mr. B., and Dr. Lofton saya he has, then there is no atone-ment for him, because he ii not in the efficient decree. There ia ao goa-pel for him. He atands out helplm hi the unthankful decrMs of a par tial God. The doctrine, then, ia no " whosoever ir»K," bu t " whoever con," not free agency, but reatricted, decre-tive, elective, predetermined, foreor-dained grace, instraments, medium and means.

I t is useless for Bro. Lofton to re-peat his statements of his atrong be-lief in human frse agency, whosoever wO', and that man is left to hia own ohoioeof good and evil, eto , unless he makes a better out in hia explana tion of the doctrine of election, for an intelligant reader will not aooept two BtotemeatB bb tnw, thay balng Bntar oniatio with aaoh other.

Next in order. Dr. Lofton takea two more helpful phrases by which he topes peradventure to light op hia )eolouded trail to some terminus of

acceptability. They are certainty and necessity. He says: "Bro. Ogle

'gmatizea me with Hardahellism. : At nie dispel his confusion of Cal-

nistic certainty with hyperCalvin-istic necessity or fatalism." He Ba>8 certainty belongs to Calvinism and necessity to hypei-Calvirism, and to

listrate hia views he referB the read-er to the betrayal of Christ into the lands of the enemy by Judas, say-ng: "In itself the event wbs effi ently decreed and executed of God 'he method and conditions by which was executed were permissively de-

creed." Well, now we have it. The event of the betrayal waa an efficient decree, and therefore certain. The method and means were permissive, and therefore of neceasity. Now,

Iro. Lofton, what right have you to prefix the word efficient to one decree and permiesive to-the otherT Die not God permit the event aa well aa he method and meanst Say yes,

(octor, and own up. Very well. Die not God efficiently decree the metho< and means of carrying out the evenf f the betrayal of Christ waa an effi

cient decree, and Dr. Lofton saya i s, then certainly the man who be-rayed Him was efficiently decreed to

{o the work. Then why do you need stick in "permissive," when one

part of the event was as much of an elBcient decree as the otherT

Dr. Lofton says of this whole event " Here is certainty, but not necessity, or fatalism." Now, reader, I want ; rou to read carefully the entire trana action of the betrayal of Christ aQ.d pick out that part of it that became certainty because of God'a efficien decree. Waa not the whole affair also a necessity? The event of the be-trayal was no more of an efficient de-cree than the means and methods "Conditional election not only im-plies uncertainty as to the reeulta o }od'B decree, but that from eternity

God's election was based upon some foreseen moral. action or merit in those who believe."

The above ia another of the doo-tor'a own definitions. He is a fine definer of terms and doctrine to am himaelf.

Conditional election does not im-ply uncertainty any • more than on-cohditional election. Suppose tha election Is conditioned upon "elect acoording to the foreknowledge God the Father through aanctifioa-tion of tha Spirit and belief of the truth;" suppose In believing they be-come the elect—is not their eleistion as certain aa unconditional election Suppoae they do not believe. Then they are not the elect. G, A. OOLK. Milton, Tenn.

CampbelUtea and Hud Tartles. In reading your paper I find a

great deal aaid about and igiUnat 3ampbellltea. Now Ilearaedby ob-

aervation where I have had experi-ence that Oampbellitea, Inataad of a « etrlment, are an advantage to Uie

Bptists, or the cauae of Chriat.-niat Is, where they are not privileged

to expound their deluaiona in tha presence of unregenerata material, which ia veqr aeldom in thia and sur-rounding communities, except their own genealogy.

Chriat aaya (John 15:2): ' And every branch that beareth fralt, he purgeth It, that it may bring forth more frait." Now with what Bap-tist churches I have had experience my convictiona are that they need trimming. It is not quantity, but quality we want; not so much more 'rait, but better f rai t And aa we improve the quality the improvement will increase the quantity.

I learned many yeara ago that it la a waste of time and bait to fish in a pond among mud turtles and gan. The first and best thing to do is to take your pole and make those fel-lows afraid to oome In eight or hear-ing. What you fail to kill be sure to cripple. Now I may be wrong, but thia is the plan I act upon. When an old red-nosed, bottie-Bucking mud-turtle comes In from wallowing in the saloon quagmire to ataal iMiit, I jiut give him a good pelt over the head with a good stiff gospel olub, and it is so amusing to see him shy off from my side of the pond, and so much more so to see that Campbellite fish-erman on the other bank tempting the old turtle while crippled with such tender bait'that he auooaads In landing and stringing him, and ra-t u n s to his fold with rejoidng, "that he cannot tell what he haa drag up, but all are satisfied with Its qualiUes, as it was caught in a Baptist pond." Now this is my experience When I shell the woods for Sabbath break-era and non-attendants, It is b pleas-ure and I conaider it a bleadng in disgulBe to have some one rflady to temptingly bait my pond for the tar-Oea and gara. Peat-honaea are the laat resort ior th« Inourabto.

BOARDS. We hope that every one will

read the article by Bro. J. H. Qrime upon the above subject on page two of this issue.

To those who do not know Bro. Grime, we want to eay that he ia one of the most thoroughly con-scientious men we ever knew in our life. He would not for the worliT .do anything to injore any of our Boards unless he felt fully convinced that his position is cor-rect It is not the cause he is fighting. Nor is it men. It is simply methods. But while we entertain the greatest respect for him and for his motives, we be. lieve that he is mistaken in his position, and in a friendly, broth-erly way (for we are friends and brothers) we want to point out to him his mistakes.

1. In our former editorial upon this subject, to which Bro. Grime is replying;, we did not mean to in-timate necessarily, as he seems to think, that any one would charge that tbe money which might be sent to the Boards would stick in their hvids dishonestly. Oertamly we do not believe that Bra Grime would charge such a thing, though it is possible that some might do so.

2. Nor did we meaib to say that Bra Grime and others ;wbo think the Boards too expensive should "get oat and let tbe Boards alone." As ft matter of fact, we did* not have Bra Grime and 'others who olqeot to Boards simply on tbe gronnd of their ezpensiveness in our mind at a l l We were talk-ing ftboat those who propose to do

away with Boards entirely and carry on their missionary work independent of Boards, as some d a

8. Nor again did we object to criticism of the management of the Boards. But there is such a thing as ci^ticisnot and criticism. There may be a friendly and there may be an unfriendly criticism. There may be a criticism for the purpose of improvement and there may be a criticism for the purpose of destroying. The first of these all Boards would welcome. It is only to tbe second, the unfriendly, captious, destructive criticism to which they object We may say, however, that whatever be the criticism or the character of it we are incline<l to think that it would be more courteous aud probably more effective if it should be made to tbe Board itself or to the Con-vention which created it, at least at first

i . Bro. Grime does not think that Boards are "paying institu-tions." He gives figures to prove his position. Let us see about i t We suppose that the four Boards in Tennessee to which he refers are tbe Boards of Ministerial Ed-ucation, of Ministerial Relief, the Sunday-school a n d Colportage Board and tbe State Mission Board. But taking these four Boards, and with the minutes of the last State Convention before us, we cannot by any possible combination of figures produce tbe results which Bro. Grime has reached.

He says: "The total amount of funds raised in the State for State work was 811,298 65. Tbe expen-ses of these Boards was So,175.79, leaving a balance of only |G,122.86, lacking only the small sum of IH73.53 of r e q u i r i n g half the amount co l lect^ to pay the ex-penses of the Boards." But here are the figures as we take them from the Minutes of the State Convention for 1893 (pages 82 and 83 and 12):

To the receipts might be added the amounts contributed by Ten-nessee to Home and Foreign Mis-sions, both of which are under the direction of our State Mission Board, and cost the Home and Foreil^ B o a r ^ nothing in the way of expense, as follows: nome.. Foreign

I .VMS 47 6,(WO 47 Total. .111.743 IN

making a total of all mission money raised in the State of $23,934.22, at an exptmse of 193.06. This does not look very extravagant, does it? But notice several things about tbe above figures: (1) The Boanlsof MinUterial Belief and of Ministerial Education do not cost tbe Baptists of the State one cent for fxpenses. They do not, we believo, charge even postage for their tervices; certainly noth-ing more. (2) Not a single mem-ber of nny Board charges anythiny for bis services (which frequently require a; considerable expendi-ture both of time and money), except alone the Corresponding Secretary, who gives all of his time aud talents to that work, and who cannot afford to do so for nothing. (3) Tbe Sunday-school and Colp )rtage Hoard has jnst started, not having completed a year of existence when it made tbe report from which Bro. Grime takes bis figures. E v e r y one knows that there is considerable expense attached :to beginning al-most any enterprise. Besides, at its commrncement the expenses are as hea\7 as after it gets under headway, perhaps beavilr, while the income starts at zero and has to be worked up. The Secretary has to be paid; he has to travel and write as much as ever, if not even more. For these reasons the expenses of the Sunday-school and Colportage Board last year were, as compared with tbe receipts, more than they are likely ever to be again. (4) This leaves only the State Mission Board. This Board is, we believe, conducted upon as economical a basis as practicable consistent with effi-ciency. Its members, as we said, charge nothing for their services, but they give much time and thought and labor to it, besides giving freely of their own money. Who doubts but that our noble and self-sacrificing and consecrat-ed Secretary of last year, Bro. J. H. Anderson, to whose adminis-tration Bro. Grime's figures have reference, earned every dollar of his salary? Even if he bad done nothbg toward directing the la-bors of forty missionaries, and to-wards securing the money for their payment, he himself would have been fully worth his salary as a general evangelist over the State, which he was. In his ex-penses we know that he was as eoonomioal as it was possible for him to be. Only last summer he led ns a mile's tramp in a certain city in the State in order to get supper 16 centa cheaper than we

could have got it up town. This 15 cents was saved to State Missions. I t was only one of many cents, however, similarly saved. In re-gard to our present very efficient Corresponding Secretary we may say he was offered another posi-tion at a larger salary at the time he accepted the Secretaryship here. We think we were fortunate to se-cure him at the salary he receives. He will pay his own way and much more, too. Concerning his expenses it may be remarked that he stated in his last quarterly re-port to tbe Board that he had traveled during the quarter about 5,000 miles, and that bis total railroad fare during that period amounted to—.v.") ccnts. Surely this is not very extravagant!

But onr space is exhausted aud we shall be compelled to wait un-til next week to discuss the sub-jtH;t further.

•»— YMl'ATHETIC STlilKES.

We bad something to say upon this subject two weeks ago. We want to say again, however, that we do not believe in your sympa-thetic strikes. Tbe result of them is to punish tbe innocent, and to paralyze tbe industries of millions of people who have had nothing whatever to do with tbe quarrel between the particular employer and employees which brought on tbe strike. If the recent strike had succeeded and tbe principle of sympathetic strikes, for which Mr. Debs contended, bad been es-tablished, then there would have been one of two results: Either every employer in the country would be held in abject terror for fear that if be should offend one of his employees, the business of tbe whole country would be pros-trated; or there would be constant danger that if at any time any em-ployer anywhere should have any trouble with any of his employees, the whole machinery of commerce would be thrown oOt of gear all over tbe country, resulting in a complete chaotic condition. It would be impossible for the busi-ness of the country to be carried on upon any such uncertainty, and with such a sword of Damocles hanging over its head. Business is entirely too sensitive to be sub-jected to such a menace.

HEAL SYMrATHt.

Then there is another thing about this sympathetic strike. If laboring men really have sympa-thy for their fellows who may be thrown out of employment, tbe best thing for them to do is to re-main in a position where they will be able to help them, and i ot to voluntarily cut off their own source ot income so as to render them-selves nnable to extend any actual help at a time when it is most needed. I t was stated in a recent dispatch that more thin two-thirds of the population of the town of Pdllman were in actual want, and some of the people were actually

starving to death. The statement «as also made that out of seven-teen thousand people who were de-pendent upon the Pullman Co. for anpport previous to the strike, thirteen thousand were then de-pendent upon charity. And yet, under the circumstances, the very men who professed to have sympa-thy for these people foolishly put it out of their power to extend them any aesistance. But WHAT HHALL BE DONE AIIOOT IT?

Shall the workingmon tamely Bobmit to any injustice which may be put upon them by tboir em-ployers? No. We believe that the bill which has been introduced into the Senate'for tbe creation of a National Board'of Arbitration should be passed, and tliat euch a Board should bo established, to whom shall bo referred, upon com-plaint of either side, the disputed (luestions between employers and employees. This Board should be composed of men of high character ami recognixed fairness, their de-cision of the matter to be final. It may be remarked, in this con-nection, that Mr. W. T. Stead had an article in tbe " JtcviciP of Re-vivirs " for Jnly, commenting upon our coal strike, in which he said that America was fifty years be-hind the times; that they used to have such things in England fifty years ago, but that they had been done away with by Boards of Arbitration. Let us have such a Board here, and after awhile we believe that these things wo call strikes will be things of the past, and will be looked back upon simply as relics of barbarism. The faci is that

CAHTAL AND LAIIOH have too much in common. They are too much dependent each upon the other for there to be a con-stant friction and conflict between them. Each should be fully in sympathy with the other, and they should go hand in hand in the march toward universal prosperi-ty, and in the advancement of all of the interests of our country. Oh! if men would only adopt tbe law of Christ, to " Bear ye one another's burdens," and would carry out the Golden^Rule, to " D o unto others as ye would that they should do unto you," in their every day life, this would be the result ' I n other words, if men would only be governed by the principles of Chrbtianity, and take, not only as their Savior, but as their guide in material as well as spiritual matters, the .Lord Jesus Ohrist, then strikes would be no more, and we should have the greatest reign of peace and of prosperity and of happiness that this world* has ever known. And then the millennium would not be faraway.

" Qrandmother, what are yon smiling at?"

" WM I smUbg, cbUd?" " Yes, almost langbing in a whis-

per." "Well, I was recalling a pleas-

ant incident. I always enjoy i I t occnrred ten years ago." Am grandmother raached out her hant toward the little girl talking to her, who came ap and leaned on her knees looking np into the se-rene bnt sightless conntenance vainly peering at her.

"Well, go on, grandmother; am listening,"-said Margnerite.

"Bo yon want to hear it? was only a trifle, bnt it was amus-ing.''

"TeU it, teU it then. I like amnsing trifles"

" Well, then, this is what made me amilei.. Ten years ago, before I lost my sight, I spent several weeks with a little grandchild a the home o( one of her nncles. He loved to pretend ignorance o common things to have L'ell cor reot him. She did it so prettily, so pityingly.''

" What did yon call her name?" "L'ell, a contraction her brother

gave her, for Little EIL She goes by that pet name now, though she is largerand older than yon. L'ell had very pretty brown eye& Her uncle's pet name for her was 'Eyea.* He p r e t e n d e d not to know their color, and would say at the dinner table:

"'Now, what wiU my Uttle Fink Eycb have for dinner?*

"'Brown Eyes, U n k a D i m ; Brown Eyes,' she would answer, and laugh at her nncle's igno-ranoa

" 'Oyes, ' he would reply; 'uid will Brown Eyes have a piece of Mary's little lamb whose fleece was white as chalk?'

"'Snow, Unka Dim; white .as snow,' L'ell would scream with laughter.

" 'Sure enough, it was snow,' he wonld answer.

" 'And evaiywbere that Mary went Hie lamb was anre to walk.'

"•Gol go!'L'eU would say. ' I have to krect you all the time, Now go on and say the rest of it kreot'

" Being assured it was not, she turned to me and said:

" • Qrandmother, Unka Dim says 'Tingle, tingle little star,' and bad to krect him. Bells tingle, stars twinkle.'

" Bnt I think," said grandmoth er, "nothing was funnier than when she ' krected' him on Dr. Foster."

UXKA DIM. A TouchlnK Incident.

The other day there was an oli woman on trial for her life. Stf6 hadn't done anything at all, bn she wouldn't die—that wasalL She was eighty-six years old, and her husband's will gave her a child's part of his estate, an estate worth over $100,000, they said. She was on trial for imbecility, for the children said she wasn't fit to take care of her share, and they wanted a guardian appointed to take care ofherVrnd keep her from wasting ;he property. It was a curious

scene. The judge reqtiired the old woman to be brought into court and examined as to her mind and ler fitness to manage her p a ^ She showed all the marks of a long and hard life, bnt no signs of alarm or doubt. There was quite an ar-ray of lawyers against her, for the children, with one exception, hs^ combined to tie np the property until she died and then divide it out.

"I've got no lamin', judge," she said, "for I was married mighty young and we moved over here among the Injuns in 1832, and here were no schools. My old

man was young and strong, and so wasL Wecnt the logs and. built our own house and traded with the Injnns, and I could talk Injnn as good as Engluh, and they treated US mighty mil, uid I used to pbw end plant and hoe a>ni •od bum htvih at night and cook

and wash, and when the children began to come along I had to spin and weave and make their clothes, and by and by we bought more land and spread out and kept on workin' Kard and spending little nntil we had money to lend and could send the children to school. I've lived Id^g and lived hard, judge, but I never had a master over me in my life, and I don' want one now. My old man, who is dead and gone, never was my master, and I made as much our property as be did and he al ways said so, and it looks like ought to have a child's part and do just as I please with it. These children are afraid I'll give'it to my baby boy, and that's what's the matter. He is my baby, judge, and yon know that a mother al ways holds fast to her baby whether he is young or old. He Uvea with me yet aud is always good to me. He watches me to see what I want and says,' Don' get np, mother, I will get it for yon.'

We heard one day lately of beautiful way of keeping in mim a dear little child who had gone to the better life. When the parents tallied from the first darkness o bereavement,when they had grown a little nsed to the strange silence where there had been such a met ody of the sweet voice and the bounding step, they cast about to see how best they could remem-ber their little Maud.

Over her grave in the cemetery they had placed a simple, small stone, with her name and the dates of he^Jbirth and death. They wanted to do much more than this, bnt they did not care to spend a arge amount of money on the

mere embellishment of the narrow lionse in which their darling had iieen laid to rest

" It wonld cost 80 much," said the mother, after some thoughtful Milancing of accounts, "had our

daughter been spared us, for her education, her clothing, her pleas-ni«B, and her little journ«ys. Ohristmas and birthday festivals would have made it a little more. So much this year! Now can we not take this money and spend it, for just this year, on- some little girl ot Maud's age, some child who really needs IOTO and h a ^ . ne« and advant^iiM whioh her

parents cannot give her? Let us find some dear child, and do this in Maud's name."

The blessed, unselfish thought was put into practice without much delay, and one little living child stood, so far as lavish kindness and generous wealth could do, in the place of the other whose mem-ory never fades from the hearta that loved her. One year has not proved the measure of this un-grudging and saintly beneficence. They to whom so sweet a sugges-tion came, doubtless angel-borne, art) intending to keep on in their work, and as time passes their gifts to the girl who has taken Maud's place shall be as nearly as possible what Maud each year wonld have bad if she had been spared them. She will stand to the world in her own lot, develop, ing in her own way, bnt all that wonld have been the right of the dear vanished one shall be freely bestowed upon her for that dear one's sake, ^ a n t y will spring from the ashes of the old BOTTOW.—SCI,

It is not known who it was that saw this bit of courtesy, nor who did it, but they both must have been men of sense and kindness.

I i?aw, the other day, said a citi-Ken, a driver who had a heavy

load on a one-horse truck, get stuck on a grade in a down-town street His load was something in bags, which were piled high and projected beyond the tail of his tmc^

He had a good horse, bnt the load was too much; he just couldn't pull i t

Coming up behind was a man driving a big truck, empty, with a pair of big horses. This driver set bis pole against the projecting load of the one-horse truck and spoke to his horses; they just lifted the one-horse truck into mo-tion.

The single horse spread himself and kept his load going.

The man with the double truck turned off at the next comer with-out a word ; he had simply per-formed an ordinary courtesy on the road.

Let us hear from ClarksTilie this time:

"I have not lost interest in our dear Toung South. I think we are in a glorious work, and I know I can never do enough for our Rraoious God, who has done so much for me. I wish to help Dr. Willingbam and Japan too. Mamma teaches us that we must earn the money that we gire sway, and a girl cannot make much. Mamma often pays us for little ser-vices. We have a nice working band in the 'Sunbeams' of Clarksyiile Church, a good Sunday-school, and the best ot preachers. With best wishes for all the band, I am, yours lovingly, DOBA WABFIELD."

I loved ihe old pastor of theClarks-ville Church, the venerable Dr. Sears. I am so glad to know bis mantle has. fallen on worthy shoulders, and that his people carry on the work he led them in so well for so long. I hope Dora will induce many more in this church to unite their efforts with hers to help Dr. Willingbam in the pres-ent crisis. Never loiget for one mo-bent that in lifting this debt from the Foreign Board we push Ood's work in Japan and everywhere. When one wheel is ditchM our strength must lift that first before the gospel chariot will roll on.

Then, Dora's sister writes us also. I keep back a part of her letter because I want it for our Symposium,Jind 1 am not just ready for that yet. She says:

"This is my first letter since that dreadful disease, diphtherls, leU

eyes so weali that I am com-P«Ued to wear glasses. I have a few missionary chiokens, but while they m growing I will send you a litUe to divide bstwesn our work and Mr. WilliDgham's. I wUl write sgain •ometlme. Tour friend,

MAIT Bios WABFISLD," I beUeve when she thinks a Uttls

bit abont it Mary wiU say, " Let Dr. WllUogham have it aU now. that

THE TOUKO SODIH MiaSIONABT

may be sent to Japan as soon as she is ready to go." I have heard thai she is to have a year of special prep aration in some school, studying what wUl beat fit her to do the dear Lord's work in Japan, and it will noi be many more weeks before I can tel you all about her, provided, of course, the Board is in a condition to appoin her. So let us bend all our eneri^es to the blessed work of raising our SIOO.

The next letter is from Qrand Junction, Will you read it with mel

" We worked with Aunt Nora, and we were very sor/y to give her up< Some of UB work^ with her before she was married. We regret that we have not done more this year, bu mamma has l)een sick so much. We have your book, and we often reac your stories in Our Young People, and mamuis remembers meeting you and your father in Winchester; so you do not seem a stranger lo us, and we read the Young South with much in-terest. We have preaching only once a month. Brother Robinson, one of the young ministers from Jackson, is our pastor, and we like him very much. We expect to have a protracted meet-ing soon, and we hope it may do much good, as we have not bad good meeting in several years. Orand Junction is a small place, but we have three churches, and we go to Sunday-school every Sunday. I have a teach-er's Bible, which is a great help in learning the lessons. We gathered strawberries in May and blackberries in June, and now, as I am the only daughter, I help with the house-work and sew. Emma Arnett and I send in our contributions with the hope of having more soon. Yours respectful-ly, LILLIAN OBB SMTN."

I am so glad to know there is one girl who uses her Bible in Sunday-school. In these days of lesson helps, with everything arranged for you, I fear that our children's little Bibles lie on some shelf, dust covered and utterly neglected. There is nothing in this world that will take the place of a daily reading ot God's own words, and some way it does not seem to do me the same good read from the quarterly or lesson paper as when I take my own Bible and, with thought and a prayer for t^e guid-ance of the Holy Spirit, take God'a message with no intervening sugges-tion or addition. Don't understand me to underrate the great advantages of the present age for Bible study. I am glad I lived to see this era in Sunday-school work, but don't give up your own little Bibles 1

Lillian's mother, Mrs. M, F. Smith, writes me too. " Not tor publication," she says. She is " shut in " by long continued illness, but what do you think she asks me to send her t Tou would never guess I She wants •ix pyramidal Actually I took off my glasses and rubbed them and looked agaUi to be sure I had read aright— she pyramidal She will fi ve them out in Sunday-school, though ahe is no longer able to teach her class. What a lovely example she sets us! Who else will turn a pyramid or two over to those who can work to fill itT Mis. Smith will find some of hsr questions answered in our " Bureau ot Inquhry." As soon as I have gotten the necsssaiy information I will write her privately.

From Missouri comes the following: i«EnoIossd please find SI towards the

$100 to be lalsed by the Toung South. I wish it was more, but it is all I have now. I send it in His name, begging a blessing upon it. read the Toung South page with a great deal of Uiter-est, and I pray the Lord to help and bless yon in your work. Although I am far away, I feel a deep interest hi Tennessee, my old home. I intend to work tor our missionary it I am spared. (Mrs.)A.E NOBTOM."

So the^and goes to Missouri vrith this loyal daughter ot Tennessee. Let us hear from more of its scattered members. "As cold water to a thirsty soul," you know, "so is good news from a far country." I feel sure Mrs. Norton will write us again.

Now, beseeching you earnestly to do some of your best work for the few days left in July, so as to be in ful practice tor August, and hoping to have a whole budget ot letters for next week, I bid you a loving "good-bye . " LADBA DATTOM EAKIN.

Oiir Symposium.

I have not quite material enough on hand yet. Only a few books have been mentioned at this writing, and not a flower I Now, I do not want to think for moment that the Young South is not fond of reading. Let me know your favorite book by return mail. And the flower you love most. Tell me what it is. I am anxious to begin. Are yout L. D. E.

Tho Baptist Orphanage Avain.

The Young South has been such i good friend to this home for the or-phans that I know the young people will be glad to hear still more about it. I am rather doubtful whether I should call it a home. True, the thir-ty-two children under this root have beds to sleep in, a dining-room where meals are served, and quite a pretty yard to play in, but we want to make a real home tor them, a cheer ful, comfortable home like ydurn or mine, and we want you to help us.

When you ring the door bell you are ushered into a greAt bare hall where you <ma only see a handsome hat-rack, two chain and a book-case filled with bric-a-brac, and it speaks so of emptiness. The ladies ot the Immannel Ohurdb, Nashville, have papered the walls and oeillng. So there is a fair foundation. We want to s u ^ s t that yon turn over the " Young South Orphanage Fund " to the house furnishing committee, and they will soon have matting on the. floor and a cheerful reception hall. Now, who will buy one yard ot mat-ting? It wlU take some forty-five yards to cover this hall.

Then there is the parlor. It has matting on the floor, pretty rags scattered about, and a nicely draped mantel and neatly painted hearth. There's a piano given by that huge-kearted man, Mr. Jesse Frsnoh.-Thera

are three windows that havs shadss, but'as yet no ourtidns. Who will give laoe curtains to finish up a swset lome-lUw parlorl New chahn are needed too. What has been aooom-pUshed has been dons bypsnevsr-anoe in soUdting small oonti^^ma.

Post Ofllices In India.

A traveler in India, says Harper^$ Young People, tells an interestiog fact concerning the post-office In that far-off country.

The fact that a letter may be dropped into .a post-office box on a street lamp has convinced the natives^ who never saw that sort of a thing before, that there is something super-natural about it; the more ignoiaiU portions ot the inhabitants even go so far as to worship the mail-boM on the street

In one case a man put his lettMr In-to the box, and called out ,the dirsc-tions In a loud voice for the informa-ton ot the spirit which he tlioii|^t resided in It, beseeching him to f avoi the sender with a prompt d^iwy, and to vouchsafe to him a qieedy answer.

Another native, on approaching the letter-box,meeklv^k off h b e h o ^ performed his devlMens beitbie and after posting the letter, then, laying a tew -copper coins as an offlB^g be-fore the box, walked away with ilie same reverential demeanor afe he had oome. " '

Tbe Lord is slow to anger and plen-teous in mercy. I visited my home church Saturday and Sunday. The Master graciously blessed us all. Our beloved pastor, Rev. A. Stooksberry, baptized eleven happy converts Sun-day at 9 a. m. Bro. Stookaberry is a warm hearted man and is doing nauch work for the Master. God blees him in the work. In the afternoon I preached to a large number of chil-dren at Piney Flat school house, where the brethren have been work-ing .in a Sabbath'school for some time. I trust there were impressions made that will last long after we are gone from our field of labor.

My work as a colporter has been A success so far. Our new Sunday-school at Blue Springs is prosperous. Bro. Cannon, who is pastor of the church, will spend one year at Carson and Newman College.

Brethren, I wish you all knew some-thing of the destitution of God's work in this field. It would move you to tbe work. Last week I found eight fam-ilies in one day without a Bible, Tes-tament, or any religious books at all. In these homes there are fathers and mothers raising their children up in ignorance. May the God of gloiy en-able us to help enlighten the little minds. Brsthren, pray for our suc-cees, and that more laborers be sent nto the field. U. S. THOMAS

IB Bed for Two Years and Reduced to A Shadow of Iter Former

8eir.

MrH. n . W. llulliaH,erFranklin, Tenn, Tells of Her Improve*

ment.

I take great plMsure in adding my testimony to the many hundred of others who have tested tho virtuee of the Electropoise. I puichased an instrument of you about February 11, 1892, and began ita use. I had been io b ^ for two years and was reduced to a shadow of my former self; my trouble was nervous prostration and I was kept alive only by the use of tonics and careful nursing. I had no appetite, could not sleep and what litttle Htrength I had was being rap-idly exhausted by terrible nervous perspirationa.

When I first began to use the Eleot-ropoise I had to use very low power. I left ofT my tonics and stimulants at once and depended entirely on the Electropoise. My recovery was nec-essarily slow. At the end of three months I oould see but little improv-ment, except that my appetite and sweet sleep had returuned and the nervous perspirations had ceased. I then began to gain more rapidly, be-ing so much improved in *a few months that I was able to resume my household duties. I am not as strong now as in my younger dsys, but I am enjoying better health than I have for a long time. I give the Electro-poise credit for my recovery.

Very truly, MRS W . W . MDLLINS,

May 16,1884. Franklin, Tenn.

Ordination.

The following named brethren—I. N. Peniok, H. W. Tribble and L. W. Bus^ell—were invited to meat with the deacons of Highland Baptist Church, this city, oh Tuesday even ing, July lOth, for the purpoee of ex amining Bro.^J. S. Pate with a view to ordaining him to the full work of the gospel ministry. Bro. L. W. Sloan, thehr paator, being absent at tending the bedside of his sick moth ar, oould not be with us. After a critical examination of Brother Pate ha was found to be sound In ths faith, and tha preabyteiy aooordiagly da dded to reoommnid him to the ohnroh on the following night for ordination. Without further exam-ination ^ a dmroh ordered tha pras-byteiy fh proceed with Brother Pata's ordination. • Bro. L N. Paniok preach-ed the ordination aannoo; Dr. G. M.

avaga ddivarad tha diarga and pn-

eented tha Bible; ordaining prayer }y L. W. Buasfll and laying on of hands by the presbytery. We then extended the,right hand of fellow-ship to Brother Pate as an exprea-sion of our hearty wish and prayer that God may crown him with auo-oesa. Brother Pate is one of our University boys, an earneet, zealons and fearless preacher of the Word.

L. W. Rossbll Jackson, Tenn. —The second division of the fifth

Sunday meeting of the Tennessee Association held a meeting at Sharon Church, Saturday, June 80th, and Sunday, July 1st, whioh for esmest-ness and spiritual fervor has never been surpassed in any of these meet-ings. J. W. Demarcus, at 10 o'clock Saturday, preached from Bev. 17: 7. The reporte from the churches were of an encouraging character. The question; Why are we Missionary Baptists and benefite derivedl brought out a spirited discussion which it is safe to aay did great good. The education beet adapted to growUi in^race and usefulness wasdiscussed with a vim. The speeches reeem bled those we hear in a revival by men full of the Holy Ghoet A re view of the Sunday-school work by a large number of epeakers capped tbe climax on Sunday morning. The reminiscences of the past by each speaker were of the most pleasant kind, yet with a tinge of regrets on account of mistakee made and oppor-tunities unimproved. Throughout, the discussions were characterized by moet brotherly courtesy and kind-nees. At ths prayer meeting on Sun-day evening the Holy Spirit show-ered such a bleesing as is evidence of that charity which God implanta in the hearts of his children.

Sow in the mom thy seed, At eve hold not thy hand:

To doub; and fear give thou no heed, Broadcast it oer the land.

Schools and Colleges WiU'Make a Mistake if in msking up their advertising schedule for

the next season they fail to include in their list of papers the

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

briefly mentioned. 1. NashviUe behig the recognized Educational Center of tlie South,

U nligious papers and periodioals-of which mora than a dozen are pub-lished-ars usually consulted by those interested in Eduoational Matters.

2 . AmoD^r all these papets the Baptist and RErtBcroais easily fore-most in the number of, and amount of space given to School Announcements. It follows that its oolnmns ate attentively scanned by parents and others havhig young people to educate.

8 , Bonthem Schools ars, as a rule, sustsined by patronage from the States of the South and Southwest, and this is procisely the field where the subscribers and nadeisirf tha Baptist and RmaoToa are found. Using the BAPTim AND Riplioxob as a seed sower, you reach just tbe fruitful ground you aim for, and are not scattwing ased promiiouously along the way side.

4 . Beoognlclog the unusual pressura of the times the Baptiw and R«-naoToa is prspand to ^ a liberal concesiiions in rates to aU schools oori-tractmg for thdr usual amount of space.

PltMldents rad Principals ars cordially invited to write to the BAPTIST AND EEFLEOTOB, -

CUltUENT TOl'ICS.

—A call has been issued to tbe Csthotic Poles of this country (or all who are dissaUefied, not with the Catbolio faith, but with the govern-ment of the Church of Rome, to send (lelegates to a convention for tho pur-pose of organizing a National Polish Church. Tbe principles upon which it is to be organized are: 1, they deny the authority of the Catholic Bishop to interfere in any except spir-itual matters; 2, they claim the right to read whatever they choose without eonsuUing the priest or Bishop; 3, they are in favor of giving parents tbe option of sending their children either to the public or to the parochial schools. The very fact that it is neces-sary to organize an Independent Cath-olic Church upon these principles shows the position of Rome upon them. And yet. Catholics have denied over and over again that they claim any such authority aa here indicated, and wesuppose they are going to con-tinue to deny it to the world and claim it to their own memben.

—A very surprising thing occurred out at Omaha, Neb., a short while sgo. Charles O. Cedarquist, a private, Company A, Second Infantry, sta-tioned at Omaha, was found guilty ot disobeying his superior olficer in re-fusing, because of religious scruples, to attend target practice on Sunday, whereupon he was court tnartialed and fined at hard labor for a period of six months, and to forfeit to the United States flO per month of his pay for the ssme period. We are astonished that the United Statea Government should lend its influence towsrds the desecration of the Sabbath day. We knew that it did not punish any one for violating it, as for instsnce, the di-rectors of the World's Fair; but we did not auppose that it would punish a person for not violating it. Does tha Government mean to break down our Sabbatht Of course, discipline m u s t be preserved in the army. Each aoldier must be obedient to orders, but why was it necessary to give such ordersi Can no other day be found for U r g e t practiceT Then, let it be remembered that there are some peo-ple in this country who believe that they have ordera from an ofBcer higher in^ank than the capUin of any com-pany of the United States soldiers to " r e m e m b e r the S a b b a t h day t o keep it holy." They feel that they muat obey those ordera first. Do not the offioera ot theUnitwl SUtea Army reo-ogniaa snob an ordart Do they not aoknowledga tbe authority ot Tha Onawhogavaitt Whan oidara oon-fiiot, than araaomaUka Private Oadar-quiat, who faal with Fat«r and tha othar apoatlas. that thay "qughtto

obay God tathar than man."

—So far as we have seen everything which has been said against tho American Protective Association has been baued upon tbe idea that the A. P. A. is flghting Catholics upon reliyioua grounds. As matter of fact, no such reason, as we understand it, enters into the motives of the A. P. A. members. It is upon political grounds that they are fighting the Catholics, for the reason that the Ro-man Catholic Church is not simply a religious, but an oath-bound political organization, or a religio-political one. It is the political part of it which the A. P. A.'s are fighting and not the religious. The Catholics themselves have forced the fighting by turning their church into a politi-cal machime, and by standing solidly together, compelling candidates and parties to agree to their demands. In every place where they hsve any large support they have managed to secure pretty much all of the oflSoes. In Chicago, for instance, they already have the Mayor, Chief of Police, the Chief of the Ftw Department, Post-master, State's Attorney, Clerks of the Circuit, Superior, Probste and Crimi-nal Courts, a number of Judges, forty-five of the sixty-eight Aldermen, 90 per cent, of the police force, 85 per cent, of the members of the Fire De-partment and 67 per cent, of the school teachers. And all this, despite the fact that they are very far from having a majority of the population. A similar state of affairs exists in nearly all ot our large cities, even in-cluding Nsshviile. Besides that, there are the insidious, persistent attacks ot the Cstholics upon our public school system, in which they insist that the money which is given by thf State for the education ot the children should be turned over to them for use in the parochial schools. When wecon-sider their influence over politicians and over parties, we repeat that it ia time somebody should rise up and meet them, and asssrt our American principles. We went to say again that we are not a member of the A. P. A. We do not like the 8ecr8t,oath-bound part of the organization, but we are thoroughly in aympathy with them in their general purposes, and we rejoice to know that we have ao many excellent and well organized sltiea as they fighting for tha protM tion of our American inatitutions. Again, let it be remembered, also, that hand in hand with Catholicism everywhere goes the saloon, gambUng, Sabbath daaeoration and allot the other vioaa which afflict our country. These things being tarue, than, who can blama American oitiasns, with tha hlghsat intaresta of our country in view, for banding togathar agalnat tha graataat enemy wiUioat or within which it haa a m had to •aooontart

B* ABTUUB T. PIEB80N, D D , Author of " Tho CrlBlit In Mliwloni)," utc.

Who has not marked a higher band in the apostolic succSssion of mission-ary workment Who is He that raised up from a lethargic, a pathet-ic, antagoniatic Church, such men as Raymond Lull. Zeigenbalg and Zsn-zsndorf, Von Welg, Schwartz, John Eliot, WilUam Carey, Morrison and Milne, Judson and Johnson, Living-stone?—men and women by scores and hundreds, who moved- by a strange impulse which they could neither justify to othera nor reaist in themselves, had to go forth into the fields afar because they could not help it. Who was it that knew where to find just the men and women need-ed, and just how to train them for the work, and then place them where the work waa to be donet Do you say it was man^a work? They chose fields so unlikely and unpromis-ing and repulsive that neither they nor othera for them would have chosen such. Sometimes they were strangely driven from the fields thsy had settled upon to others which they had never thought ot ; but there was alwaya afterward apparent a rea-son they could not foresee. Thus was Judson driven from India to Bur-mah, where he'tound the Karens di-vinely made ready ; and Livingstone waa abut out ot China to be the mia-sionary general and statesman of Africa; and Barnabas Shaw waa driven from Cape Town towards the interior, till he crossed the Elephant River without knowing why or whith-er he waa going, and after twenty-eight daya met the Chief of Little Namaqualand with four toUowera who was on his way to Cape Town tor aome one to teach his people of Christ. And so at God's fit time he found messengers who joy fully led him to Khamieaberg to apend forty yaara among thoae people. Look in tha hiatory ot modem missions, and see bow workmen have been diatrib-uted without any human wisdom di-recting, how they had been located without any human aelecUon, how they have cooperated without any hu-man pUnning.how they have had Uieir way prepared by thoae they never aaw, and hava made ready for othera whom thay never knew ware to follow thanlil

An sged chief con-fessed to the deitruction ot nineteen children ot bis own. Such crimes were only aigns of the hellish, fiend-ish depravity of South Sea cannibala, who made a religion out ot cruelty. Hideous Oro was the Mars and Mo-loch ot Polynesia in one, and to him inhuman, brutal, diabolical outragea were especially acceptable. He waa the South Sea Juggemath. Iniquity framed mischief by law, and tha whole construction ot society was pil-lared upon wrong. Conadenca waa seared into insensibility. What could men hope to do wi^auch aav- ^ ogee, human wild beaatet

The Gospel waa preached—that waa all. And it took but fifteen yeara to change the whole oomplaiion ot Polyneaian Society-tha idol tMn|le8 were burned by tha people them-selves, and the idol goda fiung at the missionariea' feet as trophies. Hous-es ot Christian worship were built, and apears became pulpit rails. Oro was degraded into a support tor rooti of cook houses. CannibaUam and child murder ceaaed. Neat cottagea with family prayer took the place of horrid hovels whose earth floor waa the burial place for atrangled in-fante 1 And changes like Uieaeaftect-ing whole communitiea were w i c ^ h t sometimes within one year ot thai first Gospel sermon 1

Facte auch as these are not few, scattered,/fixwptional, not dona in a comer, or Ucking adequate authenti-cation. They are oonaplcuous, ooafi-dent, cumulative; they move to maaa-es, as though to compel laoopiition if only by their majeatic maicih of their hoete.
