—We are having strikes all around us—strikes in Tennessee, strikee in Alabama, strikes in Pennsylvania, and strikes almost all over the coun-tiy. We deplore greatly tbe con-ditions leading to these strikes. Let us say this, however: Every man has a right to quit work, if he chooses, but he has not the right to force oth-ers to do so, except by moral suasion and by their own free will. We trust that the difficulties leading to these strikee may soon be satisfactorily ad-justed and that we may have no se-rious trouble on account of them. The country is in bad enough con-dition now without having these troublee

—A certain river in China over-flowed its banka recently. Tbe Gov-ernor of the Province appointed a formal commission to investigate the matter and see what was the cause of such unusual behavior on the part of the river. Upon the report of the commission he officially announced that according to the testimony of some nativee living near the river the river god had tmn seen dodging about along the banks of the river and was suppoped to be angry. So it was decided to erect a temple to him in a certain spot where he was to re-ported to have been seen, in order to appease his vrrath. And yet there are some people in this Christian land who do not believe in missions!

—Aseriousearthquakeoccurred last week in Greece, in whidh a number of lives wera lost. Among the placee affected by it was our old friend Thebes, which we used to nad about in school boy daya, which was a^d to have been founded by Cadmus in the year 1S19 B. 0. and which once play-ed a conspicuous {lart in Grecian history, but which is now a town of about 8.000 inhabitants. To raad of Theb^ waa like a breath from the past, and the name had a far away sound. To us in this new world, it seems strange that n place should be over 8,000 yean old, and having the name of that plaoe thmat suddenly upon our attention through the prsss dispatches on account of an earth quaka which has just occuirad thete,is aa atartling and romantic in its effect aa looking upon an Egyptian mummy.

—Bev. C. C. Penick, the general agent for the commission on the col orsd work pf the Protestant Episcopal Ohnrah in the United States, wrote to Gov. Northen, of Georgia, a com pariaon between the States of Georgia and New ToA in fsgatd to tho negro, whidi la raproduced in tho I n d e x , aa follows: "Gaoigia—Population, total, 1387,8B8; whita, 978,857; nsgro, 858, 81S. Frisanan,whita, 842:1 to aveiy 2,800 wUtaa; asgiOH,2,586; 1 to a m y

830 negroes Homictdee, whites, 57; I to every 17,104 whites; nagroes, 290; 1 to every 2,961 negroes. New York-Population, total, 5,997,853; white, 5,923.952; negroeP, 70,092. Prisoners, total, 11,468; white, 10,745; 1 to every 550; negroes, 701; 1 to every 100 Homicies, whites, 410; 1 to every 14,-473; negroes. 58; 1 to every 1,208." He deduces from these figures that the negro is twice as bad in the North as in the South, or that the South is twice as lenient with hie badness. He says also that in the South there is one negro to two whitee, while in tbe North there is one negro to every fifty-eight whitee, and yet the two whites in the South make their one negro twice as good as the fifty eight whites in the North make their negro, as shown by the above figures, taking Georgia and New York as illustra-tions. We give these statements for what they are worth. The old maxim that figures never lie is not alwaya true. While the figuree themselves give mathematical accuracy, they may be manipulated in such a way some-times as to create a very false impree-sion. It may be that this is the case with the above figures. At any rate they are a little curious.

—Here in Nashville, on last Thurs-day night, a saloon keeper shot down two joung men with a double-bar-relled sbpt gun—shot them down like dogp, without a word of warning, as they emerged through the door-way of an adjoining room. They had all been drinking and gambling together, and had had some quanel, but the murders wera utterly without sufficient provocation, according to the story of eye witnessee, includiiig the bartender. Thera was groat indigna-tion and talk of lynching the saloon-keeper at the time, but he waa hur-ried oir to jail and kept aafely. Of course nothing will be done with him. He baa too many friends who are in-fiuential with the officials. Whoever heard of a aaloon-keeper being pun-ished in Naahville for anything— or anywhere else for that mattnf This is aaid to be the eighth person that thia feUow haa kUled. Hahaa learned that he can kill people with impunity. We want to say this, how ever: Thera ia veiy littla differance between this man and other aalooU' keepers. He simply kills his .victims a little quicker, that iaaU. But just give tha othera a little mora time and they will lay their victims in the grave, too. For our part, ira believe we prafar the abort route. Waprafer a quick death to a alow one, yeUow fevar to oonaumption. But why ara not thaaa other aaloon-kaepan airsat-edt They ara aa much murdaran aa thia one, Indeed, thayUU mora pao-pla avaiy year than ha hM kfllad.

And yet they are not only not arTe»^ ed, but are given the license, the lib-erty to continue their murderous trade. And this in a civilized land! Oh! • t r a n g e inconsistency. How long, O Lord, how loogt

—Coxey's army of the Common-weal is getting to be a serious affdir. His own army ib quite small, but from all directions there come reports of large licdies of tbe unemployed who ara marching to join him at Wash-ington. So formidable have theee forcee become that the commission-ers of tbe District of Columbia at Washington have issued a proclama tion to tbe effect that they will enforce the laws against vagrsnc^ if they come to Washington, and de-manding that tbey remain away. General Coxey laughs, however, at their demand and defies them to ar-reet him and his men. He says that a living petition will have far more effect than one on paper, and that be is going to present such a petition to Congrees that it will be bound to heed. His announced purpose is to have Congrees pass a law for the im-provement of the roads of the coun-try, with the intention, we preeume, of having the unemployed work on theee roads at the expense of the government. General Kellej, who is now leading a similar army from the West to Waebington, announces that his purpose is to have tbe gov-ernment reclaim the arid lands of the West, putting tbe unemploy^ to work on them and giving thein home-steads upon the lands when they are reclaimed. These demands would seem to be reasonable, but it is frons the paternal theory of the government that they spring. Is the government required to take care of ita unem-ployed at the public expense—that is, is one part of the people to be taxed simply to give employment and support to anothsr partT Wa ara getting on dangeroua ground along hera.

AN OEDtOATKD INSTITDTIONAL OUDROU IM UENVIB.

The Imouuiuel BapUat Temple w u formally dedicated on Sunday, April, 8th. About • year alnoe, the edifice which the Immannel people had pur-phaaed waa entirely deatrojed by lire, and the t7,000 whiuh had been paid thereon waa a total loee. But they hare proven a plucky people, as well aa one full of faith and works, and notwithstanding the "hard timee," have erected thia temple, the dedica-tion of which nlarks a new era in the work of Baptists in this city, as it haa been planned to carry on an orphans' asylum, a widows' home and other enterprises in connection with the ordinary church work. The building wa4 planned by the pa«tor. Bar. C. H. Green, who believe that godlineee ia profitable for the present time aa well as for the future, and so desires that their works «> all be productive of practical good.

The building i« three stories, so constructed that every portion is used to advantage, and so planned that additiona can be easily made as ne-ceaaity ahall demand. The folloiviDg are on the first floor: Oymnasium, kitchen, assemblr room seating 250, two amaller rooms for various uses upon the several days of the week, printing room with press for publish-ing the church paper, etc, and jani-tor's apartments. The second floor is occnpied by the auditorium; on either aide of the rostrum are apartmenta for atudy, robing rooms, etc ; 400 assem-bly chairs have been placed, and in the recess at rear of rostrum are for-ty chairs for the choir. The voice of the speaker can be distinctly heard in all parts of the anditorium, which ia plain and nMt, lighted with elec tricity. The third floor ha*, on the one side, apartments for sixteen wid-ow*, kitchen, bath rooms, etc.; on the other side are the two dormitoriee for the orphans, two rooms for matrons, dining room and other necessaries.

THK DKDICATIOM HOCB, 8 p. m., found the house overflowing with the neighborj and friends. Aft-er opening exercises Bsv. Oeo. Eaves offered the dedicatory prayer. Dr. H. C. Woods made the opening ad-dress, in which he spoke of church w(»k in our cities, declaring the preaent "dty" church far from adapt-ed to the needa and demanda of the hour, and atating his belief that the "institutional" church had "oome to stay " and would more fully meet tiie nquiraments and purpoaea of Ohris tian work.

OB. Kiaa B. TDPPCB preached thededioation aerfflon,spBak-iag of those things for which a church atands, loyalty to the Scriptursa and to Ohriaf,, and it* porpoaea of uplift-ing and enllghtanl^ the people. Hie dioir and orchestra and organist well pfrfonned their portiona of the serr-lOM.

Tho mafiriala wwapaid forin caah, and t h u t b a v w y lowaat prices wan obtalowL. There la a loan of 11,000 apaa Um ptopariy wfaleh includaa

three Iota, but the paator is behind this loan, so that there need be no worry abaut it. There remains some $2,500 to Im provided, about half of which amount has already been pledged.

The house was again crowded to overfl}wing for the evening service. Bev. Arthur S. Phelpe of Fort Ccl line, who was the first pastor of the Immanuel, and piedeceesor of the present pastor, preached a very earn-eet and impressive sermon on "Church Building." He began by saying: " We have come here to night to lay the corner-stone of the Immanuel Church; some of you may reply that we have just dedicated it, but no, this structure, complete as it is for the work for which it is intended, is not the Immanuel Church, and only failure will result if now you do not build in accordance with the plans of the architect." Bev. Geo. Eavee fol-lowed with some appropriate remarks. The paator then baptized some young women and youth of the Sunday-school, twelve in number, and there are other recent converts awaiting baptism.

Lbadvillb.—The church haa called Bev. Mr. Bay, now of Texas, to be-come its paster; he is expected to be-gin his pastorate in June. Bev. H F. Wilkinson, agent of the Publica-tion Society, has been supplying part of April.

Dimvbb.—Evangelist John Curry will hold meetings the latter part of April in the Galilee Church; andBiv. T. T. Martin, formerly of Leadville, will follow with four weeka meetings in&Uy.

Bev. W. £. Orton is supplying the Bethany Church until auch time aa it shall be possible for them to call and aupport a paator. We will be glad if they can soon be able to aettle this brother as their pastor.

Some of our mtniatera and laymen hava occasionally united with thoae of other denominations and held con-fenmces for discussioo, or rather atudy, of Bible t rath. A three day a' aeaaion ia to be held April 25th to 27tb, with such topica as "Jesus the Execotor and Administrator of tha Inhwritance aa promiaed to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob," and varioua elo-mentaiy atodiea of great (raths. Theee are the sort of "union "meat-inga whldi wa mdoraa -where Ohris-tiana gather to "eaarah" for tha "hidden traaaara" In God'a Wend without aoy lafManoa to mattera opon whUdi t b ^ mq ' not agna in thair •avml denominational inollnatkaM.

The spirit of "headtneea" is not the spirit of Christ. If subjection to Chrikt means anvthiDg, it means sub-jection. When a man aaya, "If I believed the Bible taught that, 1 would go home and burn it up and never get another," somebody ought to ask him, "Shall the thing formed aay to him that formed it, Why haat thou made me thust" (Rom. ix. 20)^

The biggeet question a finite mind ever considered ie whether Ood be God or not. If he is Ood, haa he not a right to do aa he pleasesT If man is to judge as to how God ought to do a)x>ut anything, then there ie no Ood. The old expresaion, written after by every man who waa a nchool boy thirty years ago-"Many men of many minds "-might be thought of just here. If the God of the universe ia to come up to the standard of every msn'e judgment aa to what he ought to do and how he ought to do it, then God deeerves the pity of men.

This line of thought is suggested by the following paragraph found in an article by Dr. Savage in the Bap-tist A.1D Rbpleotor of April 12th:

"The president of a bank, without any provocation from me, made, the remark to me a few daya ago that if Calvinism expresses the true condi-tion of thinn, he could see no use in giving for missions. About the same time I received a letter from the lead-ing contributor of one of our Aasosla-tiona saying that if he were to be come convinced that Calvinism is the true doctrine he would never give an-other cent."

It is not surprising that some men should make such statements aa are made in thia quotation. It is aston-ishing that any writer would quote such statementa as argument agalnat Calvinism, or aoy other ism. Men who will set themselvea up, aa thia bankef and "leading contribntor" have done, to decide that if God bad done a certain thing, and at the same time oommanded them to preach to eveiy creature, they would not do it, cannot be relied on by God or man in any emagenc^. It would be nn-aafa to be a stockholder in a bank which had a pnaident Ilka that. Tha difaotora m l ^ t pau on aoy quaaUon they choaa, bot if ha could ncA aea the wiadom of It ha would disngaid thahr Inatniotlona and do aa he plaaa-ad. This ia not Intradad to railaot npoB thia partfamlar piwidant, who-a m ha may ba bat ia daa^ad , If

thia shall chance to meet hie eye, to call his attention to tha wild war he haa of expreaaing himself. No Chris-tian man can afford to use language likathat. A distinguished editor said a few yeaia ago: "If Divinity did not die, then Christ was an impoater, the Bible ia false and I am an infidel." To this the lamented Dr. Benfroe re-plied: "What if Divinity did not die, then whatT" That queetion was the sharpest rebuke that could have baen given.

Men ought to be careful how they declare in theology. It ia not my purpose to defend or attack Calvin-ism here, but to simply call attentioo to the worthlessnesa of such reck-less statements as those quoted by Dr. Savage. The claim of right to decide how Ood ought to have done, what he ought to have cammanded, and the exercise of the claim liy do-

such confer- " " " ^ ^ sufficient, Denvbr " better, is the eource of nearly every

heresy that disgraces and impedea the progress of Christianity. Igno-rance ia the source of very few here-siee.

No map haa the right to aay what he would do or would not do if a given propoaition were true aa to God. Thia ia not aimply the apirit of dialoyalty, but is dialoyalty devel-oped into rebellion. How can a man claim to be a Chriatiau and at the same time declare himself ready to take up alius, in certain cases, against Chriat'a authorityT "He that baa my commandments and keepe them, be it ia that lovee me." The true apirit of Chriat in man '.vill lead bim to cry, "Speak, Lord, thy aervant heareth." The man who atanda io the light of Chriat'e glorioua preaence will cry, " Lord, what wilt thou have me to doT" Thoae who stand in shadow of the world may aay, " Tbou oughteat not to commaud ma uuleaa thou hast done thie thing."

If men would oome to the reading of the Bible with the purpose to find out what it teachee, rather than to find a way of interpreting it to teach aa their judgment dictates it ought to teach, the prayer of the bleaaed Lord "that they may be one" would aoon be answer^.

BAITIST THEOLOGY

BY GEO. A. LOFTON, D.D.

(IX). Hclieiue oi* ICeduuiptioii.

" Man having brought hiuisolf under the curse of the law by the fall. It pleased the l^rd to make a eovonant oi grace whorelu be freely ulTorotli unto sinnurs life and satvation by Jesus Christ, re-iiuirlng of them faith in hliu to be saved; and promising to give unto all those that are ordained unto oUirnal life bis Holy Spirit, to make them willing un<l able to be saved. Tbis covenant is ro-vealtnl in the gospol; lirstof all to Adam in the promlsfl of salvation by the seed of the woman, and afterwuni by further Ht4ips, until the full discovery tiieroof was coniulouy] in the New Testament: and it Is founded In that eternal cove-nant transaction that was betwucn Father and Son about the redemption of thu elect: and it is alone by the grace of the covenant that all the posterity of Atlam that ever were savetf did obtain life and blessed immortality, man be-ing now utterly incapable of acceptanca with God upon the terms on which Ailam stood in his stale of iunoc«ucy."

ILLD8TBATI0N. The allegory of Hagar and Sarah,

the " two covenanta;" Hagar and lab-mael, the bond-woman and the bond-child, cast out by Abraham, while Sarah and leas?, the free-woman and the free child, remain; the type of the " better covenant" of grace superced ing the covenant of the law in the change from the legal to the gospel dispensation and in the fulfillment of the typee and ahadows of the old dispensation by Jeeus Christ.

The scheme of hwman redemption, based upon a definite pl^n, was de-creed from eternity; and it originated solely in God's love: his unmerited love for the undeserving; his un-merited favor in the gift of eternal life upon thoee who deserved eternal wrath: and in the eupernatural influ-ence of the Holy Spirit by which, through the word and the work of Christ, the undeeerving sinner is brought to salvation. In thia sen«e of grace the scheme of redemption or the plan of salvation, is represented under the idea of a covenant which is epitomized in God'e decree; and hence it is cslled the "everlasting covenant" which originated in the couneels of eternity, with the Father, Son and Holy Ghoet. In the appli-cation of thia covenant to man, it is rapreaented as mide, through Chriat, the mediator and aurety of the cove-nant, with thoee who are redeemed under provieiona and stipulations; and it is called a " better covenant" as distinguished from the Abrahamic or Moaaic covenant, as seen in the allegory of Hagar and Sarah. There ia no direct acriptural statement, how-aver, which contrasts what ia called the " covenant of grace " with a anp-poaed" covenant of law,'.' or worke, mada with Adam; for while A^am

Drito created under the law of God, •nd aubject to Gh)d'a aupnme will, (here la no evidence that ha ia placed under opvanimt obligations other than in tha natnra of Implicit obedience to abaolata law which he waa bound to o b ^ in love, or die.

Whether or not the counael of God, held batwaen tha peraona of the Trinity, conatitntad a oorenant of gnoa in tha aanaa of an agreement to aava tha aleot, according to tha plan of aalvation, wa know that tha aobamo waa daoiaad with all iU anb-aaqnani diAdla; and It waa baaad

(CopyrlRbt IHW by O. A. Lorton 1

upon the "eternal purpoee" which God " purposed in Christ Jesus," who came to do "the will of the Father" in the execution of the scheme. We are " saved and called," says Paul, "not according to our works, but ac-cording to his own purpoee and grace, which was given ue in Chriet Jeeus, before the world began;" and hence the plan of aalvation, whatever its covenant nature, is the reeult of de-cree, to be executed by Jesus Christ and applied by the Holy Spirit, accord -ing to the " purpoee " of the Father. The Father is represented as promis-ing and giving to Chriat the redeemed hoet; the Son is represented as com-ing, upon his part, " in the flash," dy-ing and rising again, keeping and raising up the redeemed, and IjOfsing " nothing " of the Father'e g i f t ; : ^ the Holy Ghoet is repreeeifitM as el ficiently applying the grace of salva-tion to the redeemed. In the appli-cation of thia acheme, the grace of God does take the form of a covenant lodged in Christ, the Spiritual Head of the redeemed body, aa mediator and aurety, with the certified conditions of human repentance, fai^indidbe' dience to the plan; but i n ^ e leader-ahip of Christ is lodged also the p l ^ e of the covenant that all these conditions shall be fulfilled by the auperinduction of the Holy SpMt, without violating the freedom of man and without failure of the decree of God, the covenanted heat ia " kept," through faith, unto aalvation ready to ba revealed at the laat time. But of thia wa shall mora fully see when we coma to the doctrine of eledion.

Having noticed the decrative origin of thia redemptive acheme, and the method of ita application, let ua ob-eerve Ita development in the Scrip-torse. Chriat and aalvation ara the thema of the Bible from Ganaaia to Bevalation. Even In Uw Gardan of Eden tha "aead of tha woman "—not the aaad of tha man—waa promlaad to "bmiae" the "aarpant'a head;" and hare waa tiM promlaa of tha Son of Mary idioahould pat his foot upon tha akoU of daath and upon tha haad

of the old viper of hell. So in the ac-cepted eacrifice of blood by Abel as distinguished from the rejected offer-ing of Cain we behold the first act of the eymbolized " Lamb of God elain from the foundation of the world," and of-that/at7/t in his blood which has been the only medium of grace to the eoul aince Adam till now. So in all the sacrifices of the Patriarchal and Legal dispensations in which the victim was substituted for the sinner; and in which the coming Bedeemer was eymbolizid as taking the place of a lost world in his atonement for sin. He was the ecape goat on the great day of atonement upon whose head were laid the eias of the people; and he waa the great high priest who waa to bo both the offering and the offerer for the sin of the wtrld. He waa Mosee leading laraelout of bond-age; he Joshua taking captive the promised land; he was David aitting upon the throne of triumph over the world; he was Solomon in all hia glory in the peace jand purity of the world's graat millenhlumj!||» was prophet, priMt an^ ^ by the bld^is^nsation.-^

The ptopheciea are pregnant with the coming Bedeemer and the glory of his reign of grace. Abraham " aaw hia day and waa gl«d;" and when he offered Isaac and anbstituted the ram In hia atead, he beheld the acheme of redemption wrought out In the "promiaed aeed," and beheld hia apiritoal poatfrity as the atan of heaven and "which no man could number." Moaea choaa affliction with the people of Ood and eataemed the nproachm of Chriat aa of greater richea than all the treasurea of Egypt -rlookiog onto the recompense of the raward through him; and in hia fere-well to Israel ha became the fint great prophet when he furetold of Ohflat aa like onto hhnaelf whom <}od ahould ralsa op and whom tha people ahonid hear and obqr- l^ha predictimis of Issiah make tha akiaa red with tha dawning promlaaa of hinibywhoaa''atripaa-" wa "ahoold ba haded;" and ha calla him Im

manual, the Son of a virgin-, npon whoee .'ahoulden the government of God should ba laid, tha?"Won-derful, theCoanaellor,themic^y^, tha everlasting Father, tha Prinoa of Peacel" Daniel foratold tha vuy data when the M M a h ahould ba "oat off " and when "evarlaating rightaooanesa ahould coma Inf and Maladii, the last o^thlfi-pioiibeta, beheld aa near at hand the " Sun of Blghteoasneas " arising with-"healing in his winga" over a lost world. David detaila hia crucifixion; hia cry upon the croaa; the piercing of bis bands and feet; the casting of lots upon hia vsstare; hia incorruptible burial^nd hia deacent into and ascent out of Hadea. Joel, in hie rapture, pourd out the flood of light and glory which shed upon the day of Pentecoet, which followed bis asceneion.

Additional to all this embolic and prophetic ravelation of Christ and the ,phin of redemption in the Old Teeta-ment, there waa a historic prapara-tion for the gospel in the sodal and psycologic condition and progreesion of the human race. It has been aaked: " Why did not God eet up the croee at the gate of the Garden of Edeni" The plan of aalvation had to be de-ve lo |^ in the very natura of ain and human neceasity in order to be un-derstood and appreciated; and God only " sent his Son when the fullneas of time was come." Sin had to reign unto death before grace could raign unto eternal life; and the world had to have a historical experience of sin and its conscquencee adequate to the comprehension of Christ as the eternal

neity of a lost race hard to be-lieve. The Anteiilurian world had to be destroyed from under the radi-cal and universal grasp of sin, in or-der to make way for a new atart in the progreeH of humanity, under the form of racial divenity and aepara-tion, and in order to distinct and rival civiUzations. For a time'theaeracaa reUined the seeds of Christolo^cal truth in religions life, aa seen in the existent prieethood of such men aa Job, Melchiaedek and Balaam, long after the flood; and it has been well said that such men as Pythagbraa, Socrates, Plato, Sophocles and othara occupied to the human race a " prlaat-ly attitude." Clement of Alexandria ia quoted as speaking of Plato ss the "Greek-spring Moaee." Even hMthen religiona had aoma aUmanta of trjuUi in them aa dim ahadows and jprem^nitions, at^ least, of tha pro-pitiatory offering of Chriat; and aach men as Ziroastar, Bnddha and Oon-fudus have been regarded as grsat educaton and raformeia In the light of God'a providence, in, holding tha world together till Chriat cama, but with no power to aave it.

Heathen philoaophy and religion, however, had only enough of truth in th^m to make men hanger for what theaa aystems ccmld never aapply; and being without any poaitiva or piogreasiva elsment of divipa truth, they rose and declined ooutlnaally into deeper deptha of darknaaa and Ucantiouanaaa, until, by thdr homv of want and halpleasneae, they led to tha wiah and tha pramonitioa of Uia "GraatDaUvarar." Tha "daaira of alLiiatloiu''waa tha need of all na-tiooa; and haoca at tha tima of hia advant tha world waa looking for him, and tha wiaamao of tha East followed thestarof hisprophecjtothamangar of BathMiam.

Abore ell, the liiitorioel preptre-tion eeeential to the Rraduel derelop-roent of the loheme of redemption nmoDg men wa * Ood'n ohoioe of • perticoler netion, the Jewe; and through the law, the propheta and the miraclea of God thejr were eepedally trained to know the One God; to com-prehend, throng aaorifioea and judg-ment, the awful character of ain and of man'a demerit and helpleaaneee; and to look for the coming Meeaiah as a Mcrificial Redeemer. In apite of law, prophecy and miracle, however, this nation fell into idolatnr and de-generacy; and it was through the terrible chaatiBementa of national ruin and captivity that God restored the remnant of his people to the Mono-theistic idea and th» Menianic hope. Even th«i the nation fell into Uie cold andglitteringembr rfeofPhariaeeism; and it was demoustrated that Juda-ism was but a " beggarly element of the world," not mui^ above heathen philoeophy and religion in the power to make men better or to save them. Even the law of Ck)d, however formu-lated, or enforced, or observed, was too weak to redeem; and of this fact Judaism became the great witneee for the necessitr of the coming Bedaemer. Hence, the Jews became a commercial people, and were disposed in due time, among all the nations of the Boman wwld, with a zaalous and proaelyting spirit; and when Christ came to hia own the Jewa became the medium through which the goepel waa disseminated among the nations of the earth, and throng whom the worid was conquered for the croes. Jewish, Greek and Boman civiUza-tionSiintheoonfluenceof which Christ came, w«e ao blended that the Jew partook of them all b j diapeision and contact; and hence he became the provi<kntial medium through which Christ was made effective in the tri umph of salvation to the first ages.

Thus we conclude the history of the eoheme of redemption from its de-cretive enactment in eternity to its final development on the cross and in the gospel It took fifty-eight hun dred years to make • railroad, or a telegraph wire, effective for communi cation and oom^nerce. Knowledge must be cumulative through long toL-perience to be effective; and hence it took four thousand yeara to aet up the eroea ao as ts win the faith of a lost world. ^^^

From Bro. Taylor.

Dear Bro. FoUei—1 have doubt-leaa ddayed long enough telling you how glad I am that I have, aftpr an abaenca of fiva yean, got home again, and am oomfortiribb^ aettkd. I have no reason to regret my i«sid«ica in the Noitb, for the knowtodge and ex-p«imiee I gidned will be to me a aonne of continual help and happi-

ItiaamiatdMn noUon that North-ern ohuidiee prefer cold, intaUectual aermona to tlM warm, aympathetlc ooea usually preached by Southern pwchaw. That pathoa, divina at-flatus or whatamyou nwy call it, ia sot Batoial to thoaa bora inaoowy iaRloa8;4iat It aaama to onna to the

soul from the wsrmth of sunshine, the melody of eong birds and the aroma of wild flowers. I often heard preachers charm and delight congre-gations by the profundity of their thought and reeearch, by the ele-gance of their diction and manner, but I heard only four who, by that sweet power of tongue and heart, could melt formality, disarm rrili ciam and lead the people iuto williog captivity. Their speech betrayed them. I found out that two of them were bora in North Carolina and two ia Virginia.

Not having this "divine fire," in many instancer, the non-elect are in-clined to undervalue this ezcelleiit gift. A minister whose voice never trembled, whoee eyee never moist-ened in telling the touching story of the gospel, chsracterizes this style o preaching in a supposed dialogue be tween two boye who were listening to a sympathetic preacher. "John what is the preacher crying fort" "Well, if you didn't have any more to eay than he has, you'd cry, too."

There is no eloquence without thought, yet it is equally true there is none without heart action—love, sympathy.

It will not do any more here than there for a preacher to be partisan in his politics, and he must be as care ful in one place as the other in his sectional referencee. I attended our mission school one afternoon, and the subject chanced to be missions. A teacher asked a class of ten-year old ragamuffins. Who are the heath ent You can imagine my surprise and amusement when one replied: " The people of the Sooth." It was not wholly out of consideration for me, I trust, the teacher turned their minds io the direction of the Celestial Em-pire.

In Marquette, Mich., there was on-ly one Democrat in the church, and he died a natural death, I think, sev-eral yeara before I came. Some of my leading members, an ex-Mayor among them, told me of the contri-butions they jmade to their party fund to influence voters in order to prevent the foreign Catholic and whiskey Democratic element from coming into power—the same thing that ia done in the South, if the pa-pers are to be believed. I was always proud of my Southland except when I read thoae detailed reports of lynch-inge and burnings. And that auch lawleeenesa and cruelty was aome-timea committed in the North waa no excuse or palliation for the crime un-der any aky.

I am delighted with my chaiga in Memphis. 1 find the ohnrch remark-able for ita apirituality and harmony. My predeceesora were wise master builders. The etonea which have gone into the building are certainly •'living" atonea. It Would be hard to find a dty church half tfa« size of oura Isaa afflicted with the evils of theatre going, card playing and danc-hig. Their wealth is not in individ-ual riches, but in united, willing, con-secrated action. To propoe* is todo. I never knew a minister ao tenderly and Justly loved aa my immediate predaoeaaor, Bro. Willingham. I ahall Joia the people in keeping hia memory gram.

One of the ddaat deaoona said the ohuroh nuyr nam know how wall Bro. B. A. Veoabla, io hia twalva yaaia' paatorata, laid the foundation

for her future power and proeperity, " One eoweth and another reapeth; "that both he that soweth and he that reapeth nuy rejoice together."

Your paper, that is, our paper, is doing well. The fluent pen and brill-iant mind of Dr. Lofton Is no incon-siderable factor in making the paper valuable and powerful. His articlsa pompllpd will be an Rdmirnble vol ume to go iuto the hoiuee of Ihe.peo pie. I was much pleased with the article on "Imputation." Thir, It eeems to me, is the scriptural and. therefore, the only solid ground in a great continent of quicksand on which to stand. Let God be true and glorious If all men are prove< base and false.

Dear Bro. >'o/A;;—About two weeke ago I made a trip up the Cumberlanc river to Smith County, a little more than 100 mllee above Nashville. My eyee were opened as to the number oi Baptista in that section of country I had no Idea how full those valleys are of Bible Christians. Baptists anc Wrangleitee (my name for Campbell itee) occupy the whole country, the Baptists being largely In the majority They have a fine opportunity to let the Wrangleitee alone, and set an ex ample for them to follow In doing go(^. Debatee rarely, if ever, do any good, Ac Bro, Lofton would eay, keep your gun loaded for varmints, but don't go vsrmint hunting while "the fields are white to harveet." The way to prosper and earn the respect of the world ie to attend carefully to one'e own businesn and fight only when an attack is made; and that does not mean to fix a day to meet your oppo-nent, adopt certain rulee (a la Sullivan and Corbett) and then "go In for blood." Both physical and spiritual prize-fighting Is demoralizing to so-ciety. Bretbren,letUBallbeeverready to give a Bible reason for our own faith, but let us leave polemice to other people who do less for missions and charity and consequently have more time to quanel. If only we will fill our ininds and hearte full of plans for good works, there will be neither time nor inclination for fighting. Very often do sinners have their minds drawn away from their duty to repent and believe by the wrangling of Christians. It ia a terrible reaponsi Ulity we incur when we neglect the salvation of our neighbors.

Now I do not mean to say that religioua debatee are confined to the good people of Smith County (would that they wr r«!) but I do mean to aay that the apirit of controvert ia hin-dering Christian endeavor there, aa in many other places.

My sUy with Bro. J . J. Chambera was very pleasant indeed. He and hia hospitable family ahowed me aa much attention aa if I had been a Baptistpveacher. Old-timehoepiteUty

bountifully diapensed in that beau-tiful region of high hilla and fertile valleys. Bro. Chambera Uvea in Dixon Creek Valley, in luU view of the Dixon Creek Baptiat Ohuroh, a nioa brick houae, in which over 200 membera hold auvioa twice each month. Several milaa below, the baautiful llttla town of Dixon Spring ialooated.

oelved opinion. If the people a Uttle further up the creek ate a little too rigidly denominational, these, I think are entirely too liberal. I like sepa rate church housee, and everybody working as hard aa they can along their own linea of Christian activity, each emulating the other in good works. Baptlfta certainly have noth-ing to loee in auch a contest as this, for a strict adherence to the Bible as the only rule of faith and practice must surely commend Itself to an honeet outside world. .

One week before my Uip to Dixon Spring I was In EddyviUe, Lyon County, Kentucky. Although a county seat, there Isno Baptist church there, only a Methodist and Catholic. It seems that the Methodiate are divi-ded there upon the sanctificatlon or hollnees qumtlon. I incloee you a card issued by the Kentucky Method-iet in favor of sanctificatlon. These cards are extensively circulated In EddyviUe. I have written some notes thereon whioh you may examine, and if you consider them worth it, you may publish them.

Dear Bro Folk.— Yo\iTB of tbe 3rd ult. was receked by lost ateamer. To be sure I have been very busy tbe laat four or five montbr, but now that Bro. Neighbour baa acquired the lan-g n ^ anfEcieotly to take the city pMtorate, I am left freer for the prees sod eTBOgelistic work. I beg your pudoQ lor not writing more regular If , for I saeure you I enjoy very much tbe regular viaita of your good paper

Aa to the war, there is no reaaon for it whateTer. Ambition and desire to rule is the origin of it. To de-scribe the condition of the people will give yoo a better understanding. Tbe removal of the emperor was such a sudden, audacious act that even the priests, the ones moit effected, kept as silent as the grave They re-ally expected another French revolu-tion, and aupposed naturally that many of them would be expelled or impriaoned. The first cabinet cnlled to direct the provisional government were the best men in the nation, and the laws they promulgated were so healthful, that no opposition was made for a time. Pre^dent and gov emors were elected, and as a good many did not get elected or reap a large share of the spoils discontent ment began. The priests aaw their opportunity and ran the discontent-ment high. The priests desired to satisfy all monarchista b j ^ving them office. Good tepublioans were put aside, the grandest one wandered off to. Italy and threw himself in-to the boiling Vesuvius in dirgust. The monarchist men being largely in power governed for their own inter-ests; the priests obtaining again large patronage from the State, discontent-ment grew worae, and one State after another commenced to depose their governors. Prwident Deodoro oould not please all who sought favors from him, and ao OMtbdio de Mello, tbe rnwent leader of the insurgents, ool-ite! ad cffidals of the navy and won them over to his opinion that Deodo-ro should naign. Soagrsed,hawant aboud hia war ahip and began to bmnbud tba city. Daodoro raaigDad iRMpadiittolf. Yioa-FiMiddit Floii.

anoof course succeeded him. Con-gress assembled, and infringing on the president's rights or libertiee, he set his veto to laws they had passed relative to the president's preroga Uvea. In the meantime governors were being deposed. Finally the acting president said he would not accept any more depositions and or-dered the army to maintain their gov-ernors. The State of Bio Grande in the South depoaed their governor, and the president, according to his resoUilion, would not accept it, and ordered the soldiers to maintain their governor elect.

Then began the present civil war about a year ago. The people di-vided into partios, some on the legal and some sgainst the government. The war was going on while Con-gress was in session, and parties were formed in Bio, some Congressmen resigning, others throwing themselves into the fight, strong man on either aide. Finally Custodio de Mello, the admiral of tbe navy, espoused the cause of the inaurgents in Bio Grande, and under protest that the president tvas sustaining a governor against the will of the people of that State, he went aboard his man-of-war again and tried the cannon as a threat. Flo-riano would not folio (v the example of his predecessor and maintained his ruling.

The war began at Bio Sept. 6,18&3, and has continued to this time. The navy has quite destroyed Nictheroy, the capital of Bio, and done a good deal of damage to Bio proper, but has not the power to capture either city. The land army with all of their forts has not been able to destroy the war vessels or storm them out. The insurgents, it is supposed, are largely supported by monarchist capitalists and even foreign sympa-thizers, England being tbe greatest. All the English here, or quite so, are in favor of the insurgents. Once the navy landed and took Nictheroy, but were again repulsed with great loss and one of their leaders wounded. Cuatodio himself was wounded, and is flaid to be in Boenos Ayres 'suffer ing with hcri beri.

The president has been some time preparing a fleet to combat the rebel fleet. Eighteen war vessels were here and left ten daya ago, all aup posed to go direct to Bio and give the decisive battle, but nothing has been heard of them since. In the meantime three or four of tbe largest and best of the rebel boats have been sunk or destroyed by land batteries. I do not see bow the insurgents can hold out much longer. The priests are all in favor of the iosuigentt,who have coveted their favor and man-aged to send again a leFresentative to the pope. So of course we believe it is the side of right and future hope of the gotpel for the legal side to conquer. ^

Our congregations have been much leas since tbe war, and those who at-tend leaa interested. BecruiUng haa been going on, and every department of labor and trade has suffeied. Tbe priests, In my opinion, are the cause of thia war. By the Constitution all had equal rights, but the priests had wire worked till they led the govern-ment to publicly commit idolatry. No soldiar, muiidan at other offiidal of tha govemmMit could eacape thair wllar, and tha j had many lava ohang-

to oblig* iQldi^n, ifftuioiu*, aton

to accompany processions of idols. The whole country seems hovering over a volcano.

We continue to work and wait tbe Lord's blessing. The gospel is the only power to save these people. Send on more men and more means to evangelize. After all this commo-tion I believe the Lord will give us more and securer liberties. Still, the pope's army are always on the war-path if they do not get their way. Pray for us. Z C. Tat lob

<»l>l>oHitluii.-(No. 2)

In the first nrtiole on this subjact it was argued, Why have an Aasocia-lion, a Convention, a Board or a Sec retaryt Let ua now notice therea-aone, if there bs any, why we should have mission work in Teuuesaee at all. Is this not a Christian landt Cannot everybody go to church if he wants tot if eujone should not choose to do so, is it not hia own fault Let us see if there be noed for mis-sionary work in Tennessee.

1. The United States Census re port tells us that there are 1,767,580 people in the State of Tennessee. The statistics of all religious denomi nations loll us that there are only about 600,000 members of all evan gelicsl denominations in Tennessee. Children ten years old and under number less than 150,000. This be ing correct, there are over 1,000,000 people of accountable years in Ten-nessee who are without hope anc without Ood in tbe world. A million lost in this Christian land!

2. We have in the mountains large and valuable mining popula-tion. In some of these mining dis-tricts they have few or no gospe privileges. The Secretary has been in a mining town of 500 people where there tvas not a church house, nor a religious service of any kind held.

3. We have in many sections of our State large manufacturing interests. The Secretary knows of a manufac turing community where 1,000 ope-ratives are at work, but where there is not a house of wcrjhip or a relig ious service held.

4 We have ao increasingly large negro population. There are many honorable exceptions to the rule, but in too many cases they are almost strangers to morality and virtue.

5. We have mountain fastnessee where people live in distant and eluded diatricta and know but little of what is going on in the outside world. In many of these places, so reliable information wmes to thia Board almost daily, there are grown-up people who have not heard a gos-pel sermon.*

6. Our cities are centers of vice. Ifany, very many, moat excellent

Ohristian workers are in our citiM. But are our dhurchea in the cities able to supplj the dMtitution there-in T Lot ua see. Take our border city of Hemphia for example. We save no means of accurate atatiatics at hand, yet tbe following estimates will be found approximately correct: Suburban and dty population of Memphis, 75,000; membendiip of all evao^i(»l denominations, 6 ,000; children ten yean old and under, 10,-000; thrown in, 10.000; non-Ohiistian population of Memphis, 60;OOD; Bap-tist Churahaa, 4; F ln t Ohnroh In round nnmbaia, 400; Oantral Obnndi in 10004 n u m l ^ 400. Tii«ii « »

the only aelf-austaining B a p t i s t Churches in Memphia. The two oth-er churchea are aasisted by our Board. Do they deserve to be helpedf Lot us see.

The Bowan Memorial is situated io a thickly settled portion of the city and haa about ^ members. Almost all of this membership are laboring men, who, during these hard times, have been strained to pay for house rent and a scanty living. Many oth-ers have been thrown out of work, and have not been able to do any-thing to support their church. Had our Board not assisted, the church could not have maintained regular worship.

Trinity Church is younger and boa a smaller membership. It is situated in a rapidly growing portion of the city, and has a beautiful houae of worship. But tbe bard times closed down ou them before their houae was paid for. and they owe in bank a bal-ance of 1750 on that debt. Some time since the note fell due, and the brethren were fearful that their beau-tiful house of worship would betaken from them to pay this debt, but a kind brother, a member of one of the other churches, took up this note and temporarily relieved them. These brethren are actually straining theu solves to keep their heads atwve wa-ter. Had we not rendered them as-sistance, they would not have been able to organize at all.

But then are not the First and Central Churchea able to do all this workt some may say. The First Church, with about 400 m8mbers,hBS bought a lovely lot, and has erected, at her own expense, a model chapel thereon, and has now at thia chapel, every Sabbath, a prosperous Sunday-school, and maintains entirely, at her own expense, regular aervices. The Central Church has likewise a pros-perous mission maintained at her own expense. Each of these church-es gives more to these missions in a year than many, ahall we say most of whole Associations give to all mis-sions the year round, besides giving regularly to all our missionary enter-prises outside their own cityf

Now, is not tbe necessity of city missions in Memphis apparent at a glanceT What has been said of Memphis might aa appropriately be said of any other city in Tennessee. In our own fair Nashville there is a solid square mile of territory, thickly populated, given almoet wholly to vice and immorality. Shall we per-mit these thousands of lost ones to go down to death and damnation without an effort te give to them the Light of LifeT Who ahall hinder us from canying to theae benighted ones the gospel of our blessed ChristT

be such a thing aa but 1 don't believe

there is auch a thing as church union. But about every generation Home enthusiast conceivea the idea of uniting all the different denomina-tions by starting a new one.

The last venture that has been sug-gested along thia line is the union of Campbellites and Baptists. It would be amusing, if it were not so serious, to read tbe propositions and basis of union between the Baptists and the Campbellites that have lately been buggested by some of our Baptist brethren. They talk as though they had discovered a new people whoso faith and practice bad never yet been made known to the world, and now for tbe first time they tell us about Ibem as a matter of "information." How can intelligent men presume ho luuch on the ignorance and credulity of their brethren? Are we all actu-ally ignorant of what tbe Campbell-ites believe and teach T Have they never written any books or published any paperat Have we been denied access to these books and paperaT If not, then it is passingly strange that we were never able to understand (heir views until Dr. Nunnally and Mr. Brooks "held a pleasant confer-ence" and decided and declared to ua what they do believe. It seems that Dr. Nunnally would have us be-lieve that be learned more about the Campbellites in that " pleasant con ference " of only a few hours than all the rest of the Baptist brotherhood have been able to learn Jn tbe laat half a century. We are willing to acknowledge that Dr. Nunnally ia a talented man, but we are not willing to acknowledge that all the balance of us are fools. We are wilb'ng to give Dr. Nunnally tbe floor when he has made a real discovery. But surely we have long since known what Campbellites believe and preach, and it seems that an intelligent Baptist ought to know what Baptists believe; 80 where is the " information " on the points of agreement of which Dr. Nunnally and Mr. Brooks in their joint article speakT

Dull indeed must be that Baptist who has read Campbellismand heard Campbelliam all his life and yet has to rely on Dr. Nunnally and Mr. Brooks for "information" on the points of either agreement or disa-greement between them and the Bap-tists. We were startled at Dr. Tup per'a proposition to jjin us to the Campbellites. But my! what can we think when Dr. Nunnally has even gone so far aa to get " the papera all fixed upl" Well, we can only say like the blushing maiden, "We are not ready to have our name changed yet." But they expect it. They (the Campbelliter) are looking for ua to be joined to them. And they are ex meeting us as a true bride to take their name.

Some of our Virginia dailies under-stand that we are to b^ completely devoured. So here they ccma in an article beaded: "Will Swallow the Baptiste"-that Is, tbe Campbsllitea will awalbw tbe Baptists. Now, If «;e are going Into the (wallowing buslneaa with the Ctmpbelliiss, it aeema to me that aa our denomina-tion ia ao veiy much lai'ger than thelra It would be mori comfortable fat both pwUw if wt woold RWillow

them instead of their swallowing us. The whale swallowed Jonah, and' I imagine that both parties were more comfortable than they would have beeu if Jonah had awallowed the whale. I can very comfortably awal-low an oyater, but my! if I have got to be awallowed by an oyster, pray give it time to grow a little more any-how. And now if the Campbellites are going to swallow us I hope, to avoid cruelty, that they will put it off till they grow a little more any-way, for if we have got to be awal-lowed we want comfortable quarters.

" T h e World Do Move."

Every controversy I get into, my op ponent talks about leaving the argu ments with " the readers "—the peo pie! I am not troubled about the opinion of the people, so far as victory is concerned. I have no popular or demagogical aspirations; and if I can only lead the people aright in tbe Spirit and truth of Christ, I shall be happy. As to the " fences " in my laat reply, I had no reference to ec clesiastical or denominational walls. I was only using the figure of the farmer in his field of labor, out of which he had better keep the grass and around which he had better keep up the rails, than be shooting at the varmints of controversy on the out-side most of the time. These varmints are getting worse into our fields than into our theology.

I reiterate what I said in 1S89. that " Bomanism is anti-Christ;" arid that "Methodism is a modification of Episcopacy and Episcopacy ia a modi-fication of Bomanism." Also " Camp-bollism instead of a reformation is a a return to Bome, and worse than Bome," in so far as it affects this country. I never have had any sort of sympathy with Bomanism, Epis-copacy, or Campbellism. since they are ritualistic and unevangelical in their theory of salvation. The thirty-nine articles of the Episcopal Church, however, are Calvinistic and sound as to salvation by grace; and Mr. Gales is not only a converted and consecrated man, but he soundly and effectively preached his creed as to salvation. He is not a High Church Episcopalian, but belongs to the Be-formed Episcopal Churah, of the Low Church order, and is purely evangel-ical along the linen' of salvation by grace through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. I am certain that sphritually Mr. Galea is not a " hypocrite," or a " wolf," or a " harlot "—or a devil. If he be Satan or one of hia eoolesiastlcal Imps, then he Is Satan caating out Satan.

In some of the modified modifica-tions of Bome-call them eccleslasU-cal harlots If you choose-there are, aplritually, thousands of Christian people who are above their aystems, while thousanda of Baptists fall far below theirs. When It cornea to Chria-tlan life and character we often blush to say that, with all our orthodoxy, we do not show up, In some respects, as well as some other people; and until we surpass Presbyterians and Methodists In piety, xeal, liberality, good works, missionary enterprise, and orderly walk, we had better with-hold the epithets of "harlqta" and "wolvea." We sing the hymna of Watta and Waaley, read tlis com-m^t^rlai o| Q e u j ood 8oott| itQdjr

the masterpiscea of Chalmers and Brooks—(Aoug/i tliey be the children of harlota', and if a pioua Pedobaptist come to our home we join with him in song and prayer and holy converae. During a Methodist Conference or a Presbyterian Assembly, we courte-ously offer our pulpits; we sit In the congregation with pleaaure and profit to hear their preachers preach; and so we sometlmee offer our houses of worship, or use theirs. In a united ef-fort to save soulr, or do other good work.

Nevertheless, such association or co-operation is well recognizid as not ecclesiaatical or denominational These people know that we are close-communion, deep-water Baptists; and they know that without a change of belief and relationship not one of them could enter the membership of a Baptist Church. Baptists can af-ford to be liberal without being Uber-alistic as far as they are agreed or go with other people; and Baptists have tbe conviction and the courage to separate at the forks of the road, and tell them why. My maxim Is this: Becognize the moral of Chris-tianity wherever it exists, though the positive be defective or wanting; but when the moral ia defective or want-ing, though the positive exists, rec-ognize neither. External, without In-ternal. Christianity is not essential Christianity; but the internal, without the external, may be essential Chria-tianity. Orthodox Quakers are among the pureat of Christians, and yet yet they believe that Chriatianity baa no organic or external form whatever. I speak ecclesiastically, not individu-aUy.

Let me repeat that union meetinga are not an article of faith with me. I have only occasionally engaged in them, and then only when of a general character, and when general cc-3p-eration seemed best to reach the masses.

The many good things I think I have said Bro. Grime has not rec-ognizid; and he haa only aeizsd .upon the pointa wherein he thought he had me to my hurt. I think I have fairly and kindly met him at every point of bis attack; and so far as our " read-ers " are concerned, they will of course alwaj a be divided. Some of the over-liberal may wish I had conceded more, while many will not think Bro. Grime extreme and wish he had scored me and the "harlots" deeper. Un-fortunately moat of our people are only Baptists and don't know why; while some of them are " Baptist and a half," because they don't know any-thing else. Thank God, Baptlsta have the truth, the wAote truth-but let it not be that we have nothing but the truth. God deliver ua from a aterile orthodoxy, ta from an undue libeial-ism; and, with the truth, God giveua the spirit of love and liberty.

Finally, I am not apologiang for my course, nor defending Pedobap-

tist errors. I t ia e a ^ for brsthrn at a distance, and who know nothing of our city work, to criticise; but I try to preach and i»aotioe the gospel un-der the guidance of the Holy Spirit and common aense. In myintercoorse and relationship wiUi other people I cease not to contend esrnestly for the faith and for Baptlat principles; and I never condone ot shrink from tbe exposure of error In every form. I try, however, to preach the truth in bve; and in tiying to overcome the wrong In others, I rscognize the right and CO operate with It according to expediency and opportunity. I have always found that I oould do more with & sinner by walking with him as far as I could go, than by throwing stones at hJm across the street—by hurling epithets into hia teeth.

G. A. LOFTOM. Compromise.

The principle of compromise Is very popular with human liberality to avoid dissension and strife and to aecure peace and harmony. In hu-man affaire where there Is no vital principle Involved, It is all very well. Much strife and dissension and aome-times war and bloodshed can thua be avoided, and it li> tbe great remedy for a clash of human opinion. This la the principle that a false UberaUty In telipon Is ao loudly okmorlng for. The various union efforts of dlffmnt denominational work rest upon this principle aa a basis. Union meet-ings, union Sunday-schools, union meeting-houses, intsrchange of pul-pitf, etc, are but the outgrowth of a mild form of free thought, the tend-ency of which Is to b r ^ down all lines between truth and '«rror. Hence Baptiats cannot compromise any principle and renuin true to their Master.

The crowning glory of Baptiata is in their first fundamental principle: "The Bible and the Bible alone the only rule of faith and practice." The Bible ia the constitutioi 1 of emmentof Christ's Kingdom and the church is the Supreme Court to interpret that constitution, from which there la no appeal, and no ques-tion is settied untU it haa passedTthia test Hence no leligiona question can be aettled by compromiae. If tbe di-vine mind can be exercised by the emotion of contempt, he certainly haa the utmost contempt for that daaa of hia people who would propose to com-.promise any prindple of truth, or parley with tbe advccatea of eoor in • a consideration of tarma of agieemeoi Unconditional surrender and oompli-anoe ate the temu of the divine gov-ernment. Any church or her minMiT who would propoee to parley wlA the advocates of error in comparing views in order to arrive at agreement ia aimply proposing to oomMomlae and thweby aumoder the " fu th once delivered to tiieaainta.

Baptiats dm rejdoe when the ad-vooatea of error ptopoae to unite with them in unconditional aurrender of their error, but to parley with them with a t i )W to union ia derogatoiy to the high truat oonunitted to them.

The following is the nnmber of Baptists in the South according to the American Baptist Year Book, jost out, of which we made men-tion last week: Alabama. Arkansas Otstrictof Columbia ..

Tout Total white and colored The total Uat year was. Ualo over Uwt year.

The total number of white Bap-tists in the South for 189: was l,300,(j89. Subtracting that num-ber from 1,346,147, the total num-ber for 18'.) , gives a net gain of 36,458, as against 27,468 last year.

The amount given lact ;«ar was «n av-erage of about 90 cents far eadi Baptist in tiie Sooth. Tbe yew previons it was an av^eisge of cents, showing a digfat ^ n .

As seen from tbe above tabk« the order in which tbe States come numerically, as regards their white Baptist population, is: Kentucky, first; Geoi^a, tecond; Texaa,tiurd; North Carolina, fourth; Miaaouii, fifth; Tennessee, sixth; Alabama, seventh; Virginia, eighth; Mi»ia-sippi, ninth; South Carolina, tenth; Arkansas, e l e v e n t h ; Louisasa, twelfth; Florida, thirteenth; In-dian Territory, fourteenth; Mtry-land, fifteenth; District of Colom-bia, sixteenth. It is noticeable that Tex(» and North Carolina have swapped placea since last year, and also Misnssippi and South Carolina.

When it comes to contributions to missions the order is a little changed. Here Missouri heads the list, with Kentucky a good se<x>nd, Virginia a cloae tliiid, Georgia, fourth; Texas, fifth; Al-abama, sixth; Maryland, North Carolina and Sonth C a r o l i n a bunched pretty close together in the order named; Tennessee, tenth; Miesissippi, eleventh; District of Columbia, twelfth; Florida, thir-teentb; Arkansas, fourteenth; Loo-isiona, fifteenth: Indian Territory, sixteenth.

When you come to the average of contributions according to mem-bership the scene chasgea a^un. The following is the order in whidi the States come, with their aver-ages:

—The meeting st tbe Seventh Bap-tist Church, this city, still continues with unabated inters^. Pastor J. H. Wright is doing the prsaching. There have been s number of professions. Hundreds sre unable to gain admit-tance to the house. The meeting has shown the necessity for a larger house of worship, which we hope will soon be secured.

- O a ths streets of Nashville, the other day, a man waa attacked and badly cut by a Catholic because of bis Monging to the American Pro-tective Association. In Palatka, Fla., two men were severely cowhided and ordered to leave town for the same reason. Such fscts only show the need of such an organization to com-bat the bold and defiant spirit of Catholicism. Catholics should learn that the days of the inquisition are past and in this country can never be successfully revived. They had bet-ter not tempt the Amorican people too far. Their patience has been severely strained already.

—The books of tbe Treasurers of the Home and Foreign Mission Boards of the Southern Baptist Con-vention cloae next Monday, April SOth, for this Conventional year. Pastor, bos your church given any-thing to theae Boards this year) Have you asked it to do sot Will you not either preach a sermon or make a talk on the subject next Sun-day and take up a ooUectionl Chria-tian, Baptist, have you given any-thing to these objects this ysart If not, won't you give something nowt " What thou doest do q'uickly."

—Mr. Jas. Payn, the English Cor-respondent of the Independent, says that all the sects have been perse-cutors. But he forgot the Bap^ts if they may be called a " sect." It is not simply because they have not had the opportunity to persecute others, as they have been persecuted them selves nesrly all their history, but alao because it has alwaya been against tbeir principles to do so. Bancroft said that religious liberty had from tbe first been a trophy of the Baptists. But whstever the reason, certain it ia that they have never been perse-cutors.

—We see it sUted that Littls Rock, Ark, has decided to invite the meet-ing of the Southern Baptist Conven-tion for 1895 to be held there. We thought it was understood that the meeting in 1895 would go to Augusts, Gs , ss that will be the semi-centen-nial of the organization of the Con vention at Augusta. We ate simply prssuming upon this, however, as we have seen no notice of Augusta hav-ing invited tbe meeting. Perhaps Dr. Burrows is waiting to see what the Convention will do about redoo-ing its rsprssentation before extend-ing the invitation.

—Wehavemade arrangemsnts with Bev. I. S. Baksr, a young prsaoher near Nashville, to travel in the faitar-sst of the Baptist and Bsruoroa during the summer.

This is a new experiment in running a church, one recommsndsd very highly by Dr. Strong in his "New Era."

—On Thursdsy of last week a meet-ng was held in the T. M. C. A. rooms,

this city, for the purpose of consider ng what ia reported to be the reign

of Uwleasnesa in this city. That meeting adopted a resolution to csU s general meeting of ths Isw-sbiding citizens of the commnnity at the 1U> emacle on Friday night, April 27tb for the purpose of organizing a Law and Order League in the city. We trust that the meeting at the Taber-nacle will be largely attended and that the League will be organized with much enthusiasm u d a strong public simtiment back of i t Let it be understood also that the League is to be a permanent one, and not aimply for a few weeks or months Lawlessness is sleepless. It never ceases to watch ita chance. It ia by draheaded. Cut off one head and another appeara in ita place. It rs quirss constant guarding to keep il in check, and then it can be only im perfectly done. Eternal vigihmce is the price of lawfuhiess.

it is impossible in this short time to get sll of the representatives of ths oreign religions together. We con-

that we do not see any particu-ar good to bs sooomplished ^ these Gwagresees. If it were possible for them to convert the rspresentativss of these other rsligions to Cbristiani-ty, or if that were the intention of the Congrsssss, it would bs sll right; but ss a matter of fact ths purpose of such Congresses, or st sny rate the effect of them, la to oompromiae the prindples of Christisnity In the eyes of the world. If not In rsslity. Christianity is put upon s level with these other reb'gions, snd ths impres-sion is msde thst thsy sre ss good ss Christisnity. But for our part we believe that thers is only one religion, and that is the reUi^on of our Lord Jesus Christ Christianity knows no compromise. I t ' i s all conquering. Other so called religions must ulti-mately be awallowed up by that, and to m ^ e this compromiaa is, we fesr, only to postpone thst glorious dsy instead of hastening its appearance.

-^The Texas Baptist Standard criticises Gov. Northen of Georgis very severely for his sppointmsnt of Hon. Patrick Wakb, a Catholic, as United Statea Senator, and even went so fsr as to aocuae him of desiring to gain favor with a certain chua of peo-ple by doing so. We want to aay several things. We know Mr. Walsh personally, and know him to be quite a clever and popular aa well

liberal man. Hisb^gaCathidie is the only objection whidi could be urged sgunst him. 2. Ws happen to know also that thia oonstitatsd a serious difficulty with Gov.

Would our lives seem any d«ar(>r If our future we could nee.

And the u u p ww laid boforo ut» Of thegreatotemity?

Would we do God's will tho bottur If an angel whispered low

That the summons comra to-iuorrow— You must be prepared to go?

Would the hasty words be spoken, Or the frown we oft would stay

Cloud our brow if we our future Knew it as it came each day?

Would our thoughts be any purer. Be our deeds of mercy mure,

If the curtain could be lifted. And we saw the other shore?

Ah! methinks if we could see It. Tear the veil from off the years.

That the worldly lives of sunshine Would shed many bitter tears.

Why not live as God wonld have uht Be prepared when he shall call.

For from death tho' there be shrinking. It will surely come to all.

Mrs. Matlier's Tenths.

" Wm it in the brewn bag, marm ? The one with the white spots on it, forninat the door?"

"Yes, Hannah." The trim little maid stepped

lightly np the stairs once more, only to return and say the package oonid not be fonnd.

"Well, never mind," Mr& Math, er said. "Thank von, Hannah, I will look myself by and by."

Mra. Selden Matheir had some-thing on her mind that bright morning, and she was still thinking abont it when, after Inncheon, she searched her " charity bag " for the bundle marked, "Ned's navy bine jacket," of which garment little Jimmy Wren stood sadly in need.

Early in her married life Mrs. Mather had pnt into practice a pet idea of her own, resulting in what she called her " bag room," where rows of these aseful receptacles, little and big, held varions adjnncts of family life not included in the everyday needs of the household. There was a bag for woolen pieces, each bundle wrapped and kbeled; a iMg for cotton pieces; an "accident bag," with its rolls of old linen, cotton, and flannel ready for emer-gency. But best of all was the "charity bag," ample and stout, where the clothing no longer in use in tiie family was stowed away, duly mended, in readiness for the applicant who was sure to come.

Tes, Mr& Mather heartily be-lieved in bags, and her " r a imen t " in the storeroom, as her husband called the goodly collection, ren-dered excellent service, and threat-ened to become a brig^e.

But to-day the charity bag failed to produce the blue jackt-t, imd, after a fruitless search, the little house-mother seated herself on a packing case to rest a b i t .

The thinking wf:nt on more vigoroqdy than ever.

as the children grow older we shal' have'iieavier expense every year.'

And then came the thought of what her husband had said the evening before: "Toor Williams There be is out in that mining town trying to do the Lord's work and crippled at every turn by the lack of a little money! Just reac his letter, full of earnest purpose and love for his work. Not a won abont bis own privaUons; he only seems to feel the needs of thai wretched place, and to realize wba Christianity can do for those peo-ple. Think what be has invesiei in this work, as the world looks a these thbgs. Wlien Williams and I were in college together he was considered the cleverest man in the clasa Had he chosen the law in-stead of becoming a home mission ary, his income wonld probably have been thousands to-day.

"Emily, I believe in;laying aside a portion of one'a income for the Lord's work jnst as one provides for the other obligations of life. As it is, we give very much as i happens. If an appeal for help meets ns when there are no nnusna demands upon the month's allow-ance, we give; otherwise we tee that we cannot spare very much and that there are a great many charities these days.

" The trouble is that what aid we give to help broaden the channels of Christian activity, we r ^ a r d as a gift and not an obligation. We would better think of the debt we owe to the Giver of all things.

" I have been thinking since Dr. Sanderson preached that sermon last Sunday, and now Williams' letter begging for help for tha Western church has settled it in my mind that^ hereafter, if you are willing, we will give u tenth of oar income for the Lord's work in the world. The command, 'Go ye into all the world and preach the eoape to every creature,' is just as much for yon and me as if we could act-ually carry Christ's message to the heathen. I believe we shall be judged if we fail to hold np the hands of the workers, and that we areresponsible for many an unlifted burden we are wont to feel lies be-fore our neighbor's door because he is richer than .we. If every Christian would put what he owes into the treasury of the Lord, how much of human ignorance and misery would be lightened I I do hope you will think of it, Emily."

And she had thought of it, but only to come back to the bnme point.

Finally,ahe rose with a sigh, re membering the little jacket that must be found.

" I believe I put it in the chest over in the cori ^r, after all," she said, " bccause 1 thought it might harbor a moth or two. I remem-ber now."

And there, Indeed, it was! "Beally I have almost forgotton

f h a t i i in thii chest; i t j s mon ihs •inpe I looked thxmigh it," thoQght Mn. Ift iher, ig my o)d

writing case, full of letters received long ago. I onght to have de-stroyed them before. It is a rainy afternoon. 1 will do it now."

Possessing herself of the large old-fashioned case, Mrs. Mather sought the library and its capa-cious waste-basket.

For a time the letter-reading went on without interruption, and the contents of the waste-basket grew apace. Suddenly ISIrs. Mather exclaimed: " Why, here are two of Selden's letteres, written to me be-fore we were married! I wonder how they could have gotten into this case, and tucked away in this pocket, too! How glad I am to tind them!'

And this is what she read: " I know how deeply you will rejoice in all that I have told you—that at last my life is given to Christ, think of what the future holds for yon and me with a grateful heart that yon have so long known the Master's service. Yon can so strengthen and help me in this new life. I feel that you will lead me to higher thoughts of Christian living. May we seek to know more and more fully the mind uf C^rict May our home bo tilled with the spirit of glad obedience to his will."

Ah, had sho helped him in the upward way during all these years of their married life? Had that life been in accordance with the standard her husband had set for himself as fully as it would have been had she been more faithfnl? Had she not too readily taken the world's estimate of the relative value of things instead of soekin to know the mind of Christ?

She could see jt all now: her husband was following the path the Master's footprints had marked while she had almost forgotten to look for those footprints along the crowded way where her own fee had wandered. So true it is tha we lose Christ from onr lives to-day, as Mary and Joseph, busy with the cares and confusion of the journey, turned from Jerusalem on their homeward way, not knowing thai they had l ^ t the Christ-child in his Father's house.

Sorrowfully Mra Mather gath-ered np the letters and went to her own room.

That evening after dinner she said to her husband, brightly: "Selden, hov much of our tenth do you expect to send to Mr. Will-iams?"

"Are we really td have a tenth, little wife?"

"Yes, I think I am ready to give it heartily now."

"Btrally I shonld like to know what influpnced your decision, Emily?'

Fiir reply Mrs Mather rather irrelevantly asked: Selden, since i^e were married have yon ever read any of my letters written dur-ng oar engagement?'

"No,dei^r." Sfather rqse f ^ m her leat

portion of whose contents we al-ready know.

Together the husdand and wife read them, and out of the talk that followed grew an earnest purpose to make their daily living help other lives. I t is strange that this purpose, shaping these lives from year to year, has made them to bear a faint "image of the heavenly" even while they yet bear the "image of the earthly'?"—.Veto Vor/: 06-serrrr.

CiOHHip ol' ServaiitM.

Often the most vicious and mali-cious gossip is d i s s e m i n a t e d through the medium of vindictive and irresponsible servants, who curry favor with their now mistress by telling tales of those for whom they formerly worked.

It iH UBPless to remonstrate that real ladies will not listen to the gossip of servants, for even real ladies are only human, and, alas, it is very human to be interested in the misbehavior of others.

The writer was told the other day of a maid who has wrought in-calculable harm in a nuinber of families and whose caluuinicMi are so serious that they really onght to be pnnishffd. She has spread her evil slime of calumny every-where that it will stick. Hair-«lreeaers are notorious scandle-mongers, and so are many nurse girls, and many a tale that has wrought ruin and sorrow has had its evil beginning in the kitchen or from the month of the peripa-tetic hairdresser, who "amuses" h(T ladies while smoothing their plaits.

In the South onr "hired help" is particularly irresponsible. Most of the cooks are picked np in the streets, as it wore, and their tem-porary mistress knows neither the name of their last employer nor even their own homes. Whatsuch a creatnre may have to say of her last "madame" has about as much moral value with a fair-minded woman as an anonymous l e t t e r -that scurrilous and stealthy stilet-to that is the weapon of the traitor, i^hose deceit is thus smirched by the ecjual stain of cowardice.—iV^io I'or/i- Advertiser.

1 have so little money to report this week that I shall ignore the financial side of the Young South work, but you will find, in another column, the names of the band at this writing. I hope I shall add yours before I ^ t s them sgain, and that each one will go immsdiatelr to work earning and saTlng pennies and nickels and dimes until each week will add dollars to the Toung South Fund, that is to send out one lovely young missionary to tell the old, old story of Jasus and his love to Japan. Let us not waste another day. If you have one of Aunt Nora's bells or any other mite receptacle, hunt it up and begin this very day to fill it, if you prsler thit method. If it suits you better, I am just as glad to hare you ssnd me the cash as you write me from time to time. And right here let me beg you not to be impatient if your letter is not acknowledged immediately. My "copy" goes to Nashville a whole week before the paper is issued. What is not on hand on Tuesday morning must wait until the next Tuesday. If you have it in your heart to write the circle of anything, do not delay, for there is always the chance of your waiting two weeks for my reply. Newspapers are obliged to be "fors-handed." It is a much bigger thing to gst out the weekly victor than many of you imagine. So do not think the Toung South un-mindful of you, or unappreciative of what you send, if it is not noticed the first issue after you send it.

I hope to be able in a very few days to send the beUs ahrsady or-dered, or some substitute, so that my little work psople shall be provided with tools. Lst me know now as fast as you please who wants them, giv-ing me your address, very plainly written, and encloshig a 2 cent stamp.

I have had thlHeen letters since last week's record. 0 j s ur two of thsm I shall not considsr quite yst i believe our dear Aunt Nora would be vaiy nauoh gratified U ahe 9oql4

look over my shoulder as I go through them. All unite in shioere regrsts for her absence, and sevsral spsak of the great help and comfort she has been to them. Hf r work will live fo^ e7er in these young hearts, and there is no measuring its outcome, not only in this brisf life of ours, but through all eteraity. And I feel so grateful for your kind words of welcome to me, and for the opportunity to continue what has been so well b ^ n .

Three little girls transUte our mot-to. Their names are Esther Wingo, (it seems to me the Young South has heard from her before) May Biower and Hassle Orlmmet, and they give its meaning this:

" NO SnPS B4CKWABD." Now we shall consider that formal-

ly adopted. The Young South is go-ing forward! Not one single back-ward step! It pleases me to have the girls come in first with this proof that they are learning Latin. There is a liberal education in it all alone. If my girl could onlyleam one thing, I should make that Latin. If you master it you will know Englieh thoroughly. You will learn spelling, grammar, history, rhetoric, besides getting the mental discipline that is so valuable in educational develop-ment

With Hassie Orimmet's letter there is one from her mother. At least I think the two must be mo^er and daughter, and I like to think so, be-cause I do want the sympathy of the mothers of the Young ^ u t h above all things. If mothers always knew what the daughters and sons are reading and writing and thhiking about, this would be a better world. You will never have such a friend as your mother. Confide in her, trust her judgment, and if she says, "don't join the Young South," don't you do it! She will not fail to encourage you though in this work I am sure, and I want all the mothers assured that the columns of our page are open always to them.

BetUe Mathis begs to hear again from the " Wheel Chair Circle." If I mistake not, Beulah Oreen belongs to that portion of our band. I have a sweet poem for them this week. "He choee this path for thee." I pray Ood it may make the path seem brighter. Some day we sh^l under-stand it all. One of the happiest men I know has nevsr walked a step sines he was six years old. He wears a flower in bis button-hole and has a smile and cheery word for everyone Who passes by, and I do not know of a more successful or more useful life than he is leading. He graduated with honor at Yale someVears ago, and is now the honorM President of a school of high order for girls. So you see there is room in the world for the "Wheel Chairs." If Beulah Green's lite is as beautiful as her hand writbg, she cannot but be hap-py. Her pages are a dslight to the

Here ate two little folks from Rip ley, Tenn., Ida and Dan Majors, I like the ring of their letters, and es-pedaUy this sentence in Ida's: " I wilt try to send 5 cents eaoh month."

That shows me she is syiiematic, and that is a great thing In giving. Wf pan do to much move with sya-

Bettie P. Johea of Trenton says: "IhaipaniokeltobeRin with." She did not mean that s ^ a«it it to me, did skst It was not in the letter. She Is goiog to work hard for our misrionary.

The hut lettw is from a sweet lit-tle boy, Lehmd Taylor of Memphis, and ifhat do yon think ha is going to dof You never would g i m in the world! His papa has givra him two hens, and they are to be " missionary hens," and all the eggs are to be sold and the proceeds turned into our fund. And not only that, but be will give what he earns by running er-rands. Now if that is not a sweetez-ample, I wish you would find meone. I wish I was near enough to buy the fresh eggs. I appeal to the country lads and Ussies to adopt HUle Le-land's plan. Let us hear from many missionary hens and calves and lambs. With much love I bid you good-bye until next week.

The /Jam's Jiom tella this stoiy, and asks a quesUen after i t

One cold whitw day an Italian stood at a strset corner, grindhig from his organ some doleful music. A group of children, large and small, were gathered around him. Among them were ssverai good-sixsd boys, who seemed^ dispos^ to makesp^ of the organist

One of thsm said to the others: "Boys, Fm going to hit the old fd* low'^hat" '

tn a moment he had a snowball b hie hand, and ha thrsw it so violeot-ly that it knocked the Italian's hat off, and it fall into the gutter. .

What do you auppoaa the organ-grinder didt Strike tha bc ', knock him down, shake hhi fist at him, awsar athimt Some msn wonld have done this after being treated in that way

ButhedldnothbgorthesorL He stooped down and picked up his hat, knocked tha snow from it, and put it on his head.

He than turned to the rude boy, b(Mtd | ^ n l l y , a n d a a l d v "Mow,

I'll phty yon a tuna to m i ^ you many."

Who waa tiia gentleman, the boy or tha Italian! ^ He Cbose Thia Vmth For Tbee.

He chose this path fOr thee, Mo feeble chance, nor bard, relentlwui

fate, But love, hia love hath placed thy

footsteps here: He knew Uie way was rough and deso-

Ute, Knew how thy heart would often sink '

with feur; Yet tenderly he whispers, •• Child, I see ThU path Is best for thee."

He chose tills path for thee. Though well be knew sharp thorns wonld

tear thy feet, Knew how the branches wonld ob-

struct the way, Knew all the hidden dangers that thou

wouldstmeet, ' Knew how thy faith wonld falter day >

by day : And sUII the whisper echoed, "Yes, I see This path b best for thee." .

He chose this path for thee, And well he knew that thou must tread

alone! O'er rocky steeps and where dark riv-

ers flow, His loving arm will bew thee all the

days: A few steps more and thou thyself shalt

see This path is best for thee.

Folk:—Oar msgnifi cent new church—preeaed brick, main auditorium, lecture room and paator'a adminiat«red the otdinancs of bap-study all so arranged as to be thrown togethw, with seating capacity of 750 —ia finiriied. It was my plan to have two diatingulshed brethren of this State preaent at the opening, but the church overruled me, and required me to preach the opening sermon, which I did to day, with the house packed with people. Tonight I Usm in the new baptistery-the bast I ever saw—in the preaence of another immenae audienva. Dr. Clark, editor of the Arkansas Baptist, and Ex-Gov. Eagle aaid of our building, a few weeka ago, that it waa the hand-somest and beat arranged of any in tha State. The best of aU ir, there ia nounproridadfordebt Dr. Clark did tha uufeasondila thing by publishing me aa tha " champion church builder." Baptists in Joneaboro are on top of the wave, and mean to s'.eer clear of tha troughs, if possible.

The Home ia very much in need of another milch cow. one having died recently, leaving only one. Will not some other ohuroh do aa wall aa did Esgleville and Spring Creek, each of which gave ua a cowt Wa care more for her milk than for her blood. My eyes turn toward old Robertson County, which haa ao many noble Baptists and good cows. I know « certain church up there none too good to supply this great need, and if some other one does not embrace the opportunity right soon it will be too lat4>, for that church watchea for just such chancea to do good as is here afforded.

Bro. Oakley haa turned on to Boaay in the Liberty Herald on the churoh question and the noted chamfdon, Collins, in the Gleaner. It aeemi that the Siyglej discussion sharp ened his appetite and he will give them aU a jolt.

Burnett waa a man of pure character and of wonderful firmness. While he vras not so brilliant an orator as many other preachers, yet his broad views and l a ^ stock of common sense pe culiarly fitted him tat pastoral work. Bra Burnett was a power in the com-munity where he labored as pastor. He waa dearly beloved by the breth ren of his own denomination and feared and reapected by thoee of oth er denominatlona. Bro. Burnett had been for yeara one of the principal aupporta in the Providence Aasoda-tion. He haa been pastor of our church (Gras^' Vallsy) for alwut fourteen years. During all t h M long yserd we learned to love him and our affection for him waa aver incrsasing, and we will ever oheriah his memory and hold his name aacred in our hearts. We drop a tear of sympathy for hia bereaved wife and children, and we lisp a silent prayer to our Heavenly Father to ssnd hsal ing balm to their aching hearts.

Obituary.

S^TousLL-DIsd March 6, 1891, near Gladevills, Tsnn., Sister Louisa 0. Mitohsll, ag«d 46 ysats 4 months and 20 dsys. She had bssn a suflsrsr for eight years, six not able to walk, and although svery thing that medic*! skill and loving bands could suggest wss done to circumvent the grim monfiter, he had secured such a hold upon ber, Ibat death claimed her as bin owr, nud her spirit took its flight lo ilM borne beyond the clouds. She bore ber sufferings patisntly and was resigned to the will of God. She was willing snd ready for her exit. Her last night was spsnt in pleading with Ood to take her out of this world of miiiery. Again she said: " I ' l l soon be at rest." The Isst word she spoke Bbe said to ber loved ones, Meet me there," and paased away. She pro-fessed faith in Christ in her seven-teenth year, united with the Baptist Church at Bome, Smith County, Ten-nessee, wss buried in baptism by Rev. J. M. Phillips, snd lived a con-sistent memlwr until death. She had ber memliersbip moved to Gladeville Baptist Church in 1891. The funeral service was conducted by Bev, S. G. Shepsrd and ber remains Isid away ia Eiq. B. F. Sullivan's family grave-yard until the morning of tbe resur-rection. To tbe bereaved bueband, Bro. W. C. MitcheU, and four little children, whom she loved so tenderly, we tender our heartfelt sympathy, ad-montobiog them to soir jw not as those who have no hope. Some sweet dsy you will meet ber in the land of the blest, where parting will be no more.
