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

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

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.

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

of Boons of tribM which had been gathered out of •IsTeahipa into the rafoge of Siem Leone, turned unto Ood. In feet, eighteen months had not passed before the Gospel wrought manrela. A human hell was trans-formed into the likeness of heaven, and William Duncan saw lilu fruits in seven ysars in his Metlakahtla At Hilo and Puna, Titus Coan held a two years oamp-meetiDg,with fifteen thousand people liviag in temporary huts. A ^ a l at any hour, day or night would suffice to secure an au-dience of sii thousand. In one year he baptized 6,000, and in one day 1,700 And all this in a country where every crime known to degraded pa-gans had been reinforced by every vice bred in civilized communities, and where moral rottenness and phys-ical rottenness wereconspiriog to ex-terminate the whole population.

George L. Mackay of Formosa has just been thrilliog Canadian audi-encee by the simple narrative of twenty-two years in Tamsiu. He went .there alone, and overcame all the obstacles of a strange tongue and a foreign people. Be confronted wild savages whose homes were on the mountains of the interior, ran the risk of life, had his mission premises again and again pulled down over his head, faced mobs set on fire of hell and raging like wild beasts, and with no weapon but the Gospel message, and no protection but prayer, subdued all opposition, gathered. over 4,600 converts, built Oxford college for the (runing of native helpers, planted six^ ehurches, put native pastors ovto the congregations, and by quiet pious persistency and consistency won honors from foea that were next to the homage paid to divine beings.

The coincidences between prayer and events are so multiplied and marvelous that he who denies a con-nection between them must wilfully resist all evidence. We take but one or two examples out of myriads.

In 1810 the London Missionary So-ciety, seeing that the work at Tahiti was fruitless and apparently hopeless, were on the point of abandoning a field where fourteen yeara brought not a convert But Dr. Hawels, Mat-thsw WUks, and a few men of like faith, TMd the lesson of God rightiy, and contended that instead of for-saking the field the prayerfulness of those who bad support^ the worh should be increased, and that instead of letters recalling the devoted mis-idonary band, the directors should take God's promise as though it were already accomplished, and write hope-ful and Joyful messagea to their dis-couraged workmen. This was done, and the veaeel that bore these mM aagee from the London Directory paned in mid-ocean another sailing for Tahiti whibh bote Uie news of the entire overthrow of idolatry and car-ried to London the idols themsslves aa trophiee of the triumph of tlie Gospd. The Ohnroh of O h ^ t in-itmd of retreatingproved, and made • new advaooe, and befine they called God •osweied, and while they were yet apeakiog He heard. The work bcffan thousands of milea away at the same time that the imyer was as-cending.

Tha largest aoosaaion ever known within • twelvemonth is the baptism of 10,000 new converts in the Telugu conatiy in 1 ^ - 8 . No work was e m n u n atamped m paonliarly of Gfod.

Its rapidity and thoroughness, the inadequacy of all human means, and the simultaneous awakening of so many scattered villages, all argued that God was mightily moving. Back of that revival, than which none great-er has been known since Pentecost, there lay two other events insepara bis from this result. First of all, in 1853 the question of abandonment of this field had been raised, and had been settled by the American Bap-tists on the same principle as had de-cided the British brethren fortyyears before in the case of Tahiti. Instead of forsaking the barren field they sought to secure a new hold of God'e promise and mercy seat. And sec-ondly, there had been, on January 1, 1854. a little prayer-meeting before sunrise on the hill overlooking Ongole when two missionaricB with three na-tive Christians had united to claim of God a blessing on those fifty villages lying below them wholly given to idolatry. Juat there it was that the blessing descended in copious rains of grace, unparalleled since Pente-cost I And that blessing still contin-ues, nearly ten thousand baptisnis be-ing reported in 1892. Let it be ob-served that on the field of the Lone Star Mission in 1853, considered so desperately desert as to compel de-sertion, there is forty years later the largest church in the world, number-ing over 30,000 members.

The rapidity of the movement of modem mission history is a sign that Omnipotence draws the car. The eighty years of the Baptist Mission-ary Union have seen one church formed on heathen soil on the aver-age for every three weeks, and one convert baptized for every three ftour« of the whole period. From 1,700 to 2,222 have been baptized in one day, and from 5.000 to 10,000 in one year, and in one etation. One woman in Oodooville in forty-ihree years trained " a thousand daughters," not one of whom passed through the full course and left .unconverted; and after her death aix hundred and fifty Bible women were at work in zenanas whom she had taught. Another woman at Africa's southern cape, after eighteen years had her converted pupils scat-tered eight hundred miles toward the interior, so that traveling toward the 4ieart of Africa she could tarry every night at the Christian homes and schools where they were presiding, radiating influence for God.

We abruptly close what we could never finish; the volume of evidence furnished by mission history no eye baa yet read fully, and no hand has yet written it fully. Its leaves are scattered over the centuriee and all lands; but though never yet gathered into one volume, each bears the wa-termark of God woven into the very texture of the record. Upon the whole of this wondrous h i s t ^ there shinss a light that never was kindled by man. I t is a Shekinah glory tha makes all missions a Bosh that bums bat is not burned. tVe may well torn aside to see this sight, and take oft our shoes aa we atand on holy ground

FBEB TBAUB IN PBBACH BBS. In passing through Christian Coun-

ty, Kentucky, I met with Rev. Owen Carver, one of our Tennessee boys, who is preaching at South Union Church, in that County. 1 told him that from what I could learn, as there was no tariff on preachers, Kentucky lad been importing them very freely

from Tennessee. We then counted up the following: They first took Prof. W. H. Whitsilt to teach church history in the Theological Seminary al Louisville. They liked this first nstallment from Tennease so well they decided to try another, and se-lected McGlothlin, a special corre-spondent of the Baptist and Reflbo TOB, to assist in teaching our Semi-nary boys. They also imported Dr. T. T. Eaton to take charge of their first and largest church in Louisville. He also edits their paper, the West-ern liecorder. Then they have our J. M. Phillips, pastor at Pembroke; Enoch Windes, at Madisonville; W. J. Couch, at Trenton; Couch's eld-est son at Zion and Armageddon churchee, near Trenton; W. C. Cleveland, at Springfield; B. A. Co pas8,at Smith's Grove; W. H. Vaughan at Locust Grove and Olioet, in Chris-tian County; T. W. Young, R. N. Barrett, I. G. Murray, and H. F. Bums at churches in and about Louisville. Kentucky has been noted m years past for her importation of the finest stock anywhere to be had. The liberal ^manner in which she has been importing from Tennes-see shows her high appreciation of our Tennessee preaching stock.

WILLIAMSBCBQ (KYi) BAPTIST INSTITUTE I also met Rev. J. N. Prestridge at

Dr. Clardy's, thelhome of his father-in-law, in Christian County. Dr. Clardy is a staunch, working Baptist in his church and Association and is now running for Congress, with a fair prospect of getting the nomination. Bro. Prestridge is pastor of the Bap-tist Church at Willismsburg and also President of the Williamburg Insti-tute, in the mountains of Kentucky, on the railroad from Louisville to KnoxviUe, Tenn. Williamsburg is not far from the Tennessee line, wher* the railroad passes through Jelico, which is on the line. Henoe the Institute, which is oo-educational, is doing a grand work in educating the mountaineer girls and boys of both States. Moet of these would never get such an education but for this Institution located in their midst. President Prestridge tells me that they had 412 boys and girls in their Institution last year, many of them from the mountains of TdnihessM. This Institution la gii^iii^ i wonder-ful uplift to the aspirations, proba biUtiea and possibilitiee of the rising generation of mountaineers. Capital-ists are rapidly devetoping the ooal, iron and other mineral leaourosa of thoae mountains. Thia Institution la developing the intelleotual and moral leMurcas, whloh will yield large dividends of men and women with onltored minds in well-develop-9d and healthy bodies, able to oope with end overoome all obstaolei that imped* thdr prognaa. In the laat tan yean t b ^ b a n aant out a heat

life, new hopes and aapirations for their children. In the ooming years Tennessee and Kentucky will import some of their best teachers, best preachers, lawyers, doctors, poliU-cians and business men from those mountains. Having overcome many difficulties and hardships from their youth up, they will, with their cultur-ed minds and well-developed moun-tain bodies, find it an easy task to go ahead of all low-landers who have been brought up with a silver spoon in their mouths.

Judging the future by the past, we may safely affirm that in the coming years we may expect to find the sons of tanners, rail-splitters, and even moonshiners, from those mountains in the gubernatorial, presidential and pulpit chairs. In fact, as the result of missionary iairar in the mountains I have already se^u a converted moonshiner in the Baptist pulpit, a zealous advocate for God and truth.

In conclusion, this Institution is now doing for the Cumberland Mountain what Carson and Newman College has for many years been doing for the mountains and valleys of East Tennessee. Succesfto them both in their noble work, and let all the people say. Amen I with their prayers and their purses.

Our eariy days of July are register-ing in the 94 to 100 degrees temper-ature. The winds sre constant, but during the day become very parched and withering. The rains have been quite general and abundant, though needed now. The crop prospects are very good. Finances are yet hard and oppressive. Politics are mixed and unsettled. Some approve and many condemn the administration, from the President down.

The State Prohibition Convention met in this city Isst week and put out a State ticket. Prof. Tate of Tennessee was present and delivered a most excellent address upon the subject of Prohibition as a Political Msasure, which he advocated eara-estiy.

The Baylor University closed its recent session very successfully. Over 700 students matriculated during the paat term. Some changes in the administration will be made for the next session.

Harvey Carroll, Jr., son of Dr. B. H. Carroll, preached his firat sermon at the Bagby Chapel, this city, l u t Sunday evening. He recently gradu-ated at the State University at Aua-in. A bright future is anticipated

for the young man. A caUed session of the State Mis-

•' And who in Buniclcnt for thcup thlnRii r "- 3 Cor II. 11 " Not thu» wo arc Kufflciciit of our-iiclvM »o think any thing uh of ouritylves; but our BunicIcncT In of God." » Co. 111. 5. I throw both texts together and

have both the question and answer. Without doing violence to the text, I press its meaning to include by "things" all triala that the pastor is heir to. By sufficiency is meant ade quate to the end proposed. When Paul pennsd this text at Ephesus he seemed to have a pressure of an un usual nature; that the fires of p e r ^ u Uon had been rekindled and that the hatred and malice and envy that had been gathering for some years would soon be forced out upon his devoted head. And so he seemed determined to walk out into the prairies of free dom by the torchlight of persecu-tion, exulting in the hard-to under-stand-lesson; that he was God's ap pointed means of aggravating their sins or redeeming them from idols, for the guilt and condemnation of the sin-ner is in proportion to the light and privileges which he enjoys.

Perhaps there is a difference in the work of the evangelist, teacher and pastor. Each ssems to have his re-spective work. I believe all true ministere are caUed of God and tiiat tiiey will work whether as teachers or evangeliata or pastors, etc. No work suggested by the Scriptures is mora unthankfol, discouraging, laborious and uneven than the work of the country paator. The evangelist makes his flying viaita, creates a spaamodic craie, dnwa everything to him, fills the paMOi i church with unoont«ttdd materiaL For ahc monUui nothing la Uiiought of or Ulked of but the ailver-tongued evangellat who has corns and gone.

FoUowIng the evangeliat comss a very seven trial His congregation is drawn from him. He la ahom of hia gloy, dfiveatad of power, cramped In feeding, irlth a i>en fuU of goata In

. aheap'a wool, and the poor paator mnai take the Jirasalem blade and begin hie pruning anddlaaecUng,and aftoralbng time the chnidi Is purged, bat aha la left In a weak and unprom-iring oondlUon.

L This brings ua to oonildar the of

fice work of the pastor contrasted with other callings. Every calling in life has its dark hours, rough placee and boisterous sailings, but none ro heart-rending as the work of the country pastor. The lawyer defends his client, right or wrong, gets his pay, a big sum at that,and thus moves along,bridgiog the streams of want, and is from a human standpoint happy. The phyai-cian visits his patient, makes out his bill, receives hia charge, and thus re-lieves his family from all want.

But here is the poor country preach-er with from 500 to 1,000 souls upon bis .heart. He rides during the year at least a thousand miles. He bos left his home and little ones and done the best he could, and now he can't say, " I have bean faithful and must have my pay." No, that would of-fend seme one. About ail the demand hecanmakeis: "Brethren, I need a lit-tle help." Bro.A.,who sub8cribed,BBys I have had bad luck and cannot pay; Bro. C. says I will give him some-thing after awhile; and Bro. D., who can pray louder than anybody, says I can't come this time, and thus the poor pastor is driven into want and pover-ty, discouraged and unhappy. ' Who is sufficient for these things 1"

2 The pastor's trial as husband and father. Now, I have no defence to make for the unmarried pastor. The pastors that are not married ought to be. You know the pastor's home is usually blessed with from one to fif-teen children, and one of the severest trials is the criticism passed upon his children. A man's children are him-self. Whenever you criticise a child you throw cold water on the father. Everybody wanta to help raise the preacher's children by talking about them. It is an old saying full of lies that the preacher's children are mean-er than other children. One reason that the preacher's children are a lit-tle hard to control is because they have to associate with the children of his brethren.

3. Another very great trial is that ha is exposed prominently to the foul-mouthed deceiver. Now, the pastor can better blunt and turn the arrows of every hurtful thing than the deceiv-er. He has no way of knowing him. The deceiver willstaroh the pastor's face and stab his back. They are all amilestohis face and wrinkles behind his back. They wUl wash his feet at church and heap coals of fire on his head at home. Poor deceivers, come up to this rostrum, unvail yourself, unbosom your heart, let the angels turn on tiie light and look at the dark cells and streams of corruption and crimes of dark and criminal hypocri-oy I Look at the scan on the pastor that you have infiicted. O, the deep gashes you have made upon his moral character. I believe if I could escape the deceiver I could manage the devil.

4. Following the deciver comee the grumbler. The grumbler la no kin to. the deceiver. In fact, the deceiver haa no kinfolks living. I hardly know how to deacribe the grumbler. Heia generally opposed to anything that the majority of the ohuroh Is In favor of, and In favor of everything the church is oppoeed to. They a n eaa-Uy located. AU that la necessary to do to know them la to find oqfc what the majority of the ohurah wants. If the paator oould get all the grnmblen onhlaaldeheooold be really happy. He oould tuin them on to aometUng elae, and be oould bo at eiM, for tliqr

are at work in their natural element, and they will jfork. They are hard' to turn—knock a hound down when he is running a fox and he will get up running after the fox again.

The New Testament knowa nothing of the grumbler; he aeems to be of mod-ern date, and is a kind of a sponta-neous growth. Just how to manage a grumbler is a puzzling question. It won't do to let him have his own way, for he would wreck the churoh.

It won't do to contrary him, for that would make him an open-handed enemy. Tou can't agree with him unlees you use deceit. So, the best thing that can be done with him is to pour these quotations on him: "Pick the mote out." "He that is clear of sin cast the first stone." "They who live in glaes houses should be careful how they throw stones."

5. Next comes the tattler. The tat-tler brings much unreliable news to the pastor; a great deal of smoke and a little fire. The pastor don't know just the nature of the thing. He is uneasy; he can't tell whether the tat-tler is his friend or enemy. Now, this clsss of beings belong to an ancient family; there are whole generations of them. No climate is too hot or cold for them. They live on what other people throw away. They seem to thrive better in the churoh than out of it. They sre not ao mean as crooked. They remember everything, and their tongue is equal to their memory. They can manufacture material in a hurry when necessary. They are a telegraph, a telephone, an Atlantic cable, a bundle of sound, chaff, and bring trouble always. "The words of a tale-bearer are as wounds; they go down into the innermost parts ofthebeUy."-(Prov.xi.l3) "Hetiiat covereth a tran^eesion seekethlove; but he that repeateth a matter sepa-rateth friends." O, deUver me from a tattler. We can tame a serpent, handle electricity as a play thing, but the tatUing tongue cannot be tamed. The tattier causes the pastor many heart achw and many unhappy mo-ments.

6. La8t,butnotlea8t,comesthesulky member. They number only a few. They are nearly all dead; Uiey do no particular harm or good. They have no kin, except the 'opossum. He thinks more of his feelings than he does of the churoh. He will sulk six months because of some remark the preacher made. You can't do any-thing with him. Thia is the best church I ever saw to manage a aulky fellow. Ihavebeenprsachingtothis ohuroh fourteen years, and we have broken two of the aulks by letting them alone. We have now two on hand. I beUeve thia wiU atraiUtten them yet

There are other characterathat I wanted to speak 6 f - the backbiter, the lazy, the faultfinder; but I muat close. 1 have alrsady got enough trouble on the'poor pastor. The cross iatoo heaty, but we have not got to carry It. "Oar aufficienoy la of God." Theee troubles are but precious atones which stripe the tree of Ite leavse but gives the fruit a better chance. These trails are sifting seaaons In which the deceiver, UtUer and gnimblw loss ths obaff and the paator feeds on the corn. .Thsss things bleed the poor psstor, but by the blood he Is trscked np to the throne of Ghid. Then a n fins la hia camps, but by Its torah-

ha waUn out sad op and on.

Many put to asain summer weather when the breese is steady and the tide is fair, but the country paatcw muat stay when the p i e Is furious land the current contnry and the bnakera high. Many part the hair in the middle, and deck themselves in soldier array and muster on in pa-rade In the mimicry of WH, but we must stand where the enemy is In-trenched.

The Associations are now begun. Big Hatchie having opened the aea-son, as usual. The Association, it seems to me, is a place of consultation and planning for the Lord's work—a place to get inspiration for the year that is before us. But we often make it a place for collections. Each Sec-retary wants to do all he can for his particular cause, and so he makes a warm, enthusiastic, high-pressure speech; and while the feelings of the brethren are highly wrought up, he Ukes a collection. Is this beat for our common causel I think it is not, and I ofFer the following as some of the reasons why:

1. We need toreachthe masses ot ova denomination, and whatever method does not tend to do so is hurUul The masses do not attend theee annual gatherings. This ayatem of Associa-tional collectiona draina the few brethren who go, and when they re-turn to their churobes they feel reluc-tant to present the various objscts of our Convention, because they feel that they have given all that they a n able to give, and do not care to preaent a work, Mking their brethren to give to it, unless they themselves can lead off with a contribution. But even If they do present the work to Uielr churohes, the other brethren are not going to contribute much, unless those who have attended the Associations do so. The man who presses a rollection suc-cessfully is he who givM hi the col-lection.

2. It fosters the hurtful habit of spasmodic, irregular giving, and enmurages the brethren to wait for a high pressure collection npeech b e f m d o i n g anything for our Boards. We feel that the ** one thing needful'* In our denominational work ia a regular eystematic riving all the year w n d . If we wouldliave this we mast abstain from all plana that oppose, i t la my conviction that Uien is never one of thsse annual collections taken bok that it has a hurtful efteot, uid dries up the regular coUeotions that o o ^ t to be maintained by the ohurah un-der the wist direction of the pastor.

I 8 . It aometimea causes a fMing of IjeaUmay between the Secietariss who npreaent thess special Intwnts of the Convention. Bvery Board ought to be the helper of every pUier Boaid, and will be If oar work be wisely managed. E v e r y Sec ta ry o u ^ t to feel that every other Secntary is his yokafellow, and it may so be if we do away vrith this syste^.

What we need, then. In our AMod-ations Is not to take collections, but to lay Plsns and get encoutsgement andlns^ration for oar vsar^wofk. U t a U t h e o s u M towali nprssMtr ed and Uioioughly disoossel, so ti^ they nisy be heavily npon the h s a ^ of the messsogets, wM t ^ wiU return to tneir vsripos i^aiphss and, irith ths ssal and enthusiasm caught at the Association, pnssnt these causes to their bnttarsn and take reguUr aystemaUo coUeotions fortham. I t might do wdl anongh to ask the brethren at the Assooiathm to make pledgsa for tbair obanfafs, bat not to takp ossh o o U s p t ^

CORRESPONDENCE

E. T. B. 8. 8. Couveutlon.

Toasdaj, July 17ih, at 10 a. m. the Eaat Tenneoae Baptist Sunday-achool Conveotion met at the First Baptist Church in Knoxville and or-ganisad by the election of the former offioen.

Those of us coming from Southern East Tennessee could not get in un-til "the eleventh hour" of the first morning, thereby missing the organi zation, address of welcome by Bro. McCoy, response by Bro. Jasper How-ell imd the opening of the program. (We were not too late, however, to re-ceive our welcome at the tables in the homes and to make a noble re-sponse).

The first subject, " Advantages of Sunday-school Conventions," was un-der discussion when we arrived. We heard just enough of that discussion to prove the advantages derived even though there were nothing else on the program.

In the afternoon the Vice Presi-dents made their reports, after which a motion was ouuie to have these re-ports oo the last afternoon hereafter. nUs motion called out a warm dis-cussion and was finally loet, the Con-vention wisely deciding to continue having them on the first day.

Dr. T. P. Bell being absent. Dr. A. J . Holt took his subject, " The Bible and Literature—the use and place of each in the Sunday-schooL" Dr. Holt spoke 58 minutes, but those not looking at the clock could not have thought it over 90 minutes. He urged npon us the use of literature for preparation and explanation, but above everything else use the Bible and teach the children to revere it as Ood's wonL He was followed in the same s t r ^ by W. T. Quisenberry.

SKCOMD DAT.

Her. W. C. Grace conducted the devotional ezeroisea.

Dr. C. A. Stakely, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Washington, was introduced by Dr. Acree. Dr. Staekly responded, urging the im-portance and general good of Sun-day-schools.

' 'Hie Sunday-school the Layman's Field" was discussed by Bev. B. L. Motley of Cleveland. Bro. Motley did ample Juatioe to his aubjsot—ao well, indeed, that we feel a deUcapy in attempting to report aimply a part of i t The speech will be sent to the BATTIBT AMD BcrucTOB.'

Sta(7 Lord mads a good speecbon "The Teaoher'a Work," so it is aaid, Being in the committee room, i missed most of it. The importance of the teaoher'a work waa emphasized. Bro. Lord waa followed by Brethren P. H. O. Hale and T. B. Waggener.

"Condition of the Sunday-school Work Among the fiaptista of East Tennwaee," by W. T. Quiaenbenry, was taken np. Bro. Q. said East Tanneaaee d i ^ ' t half apprsdate the Sonday-achool work. She ia like a alaepbff giaot, but I believe aha ia watog np. Ha naad many happy illoatiationa and urged mora work.

Bra. YInaa 0»da • aplandld apeaoh on "How to Intavsat Sonday-aohoola m MiaBioDBiy Work." HonigKithe fact that children are suscsptible to tearhfng, and that isapreesioos made early are natural and lasting. As to waya wad maana ha nggaatad': Fint,

be interested yourself. When we as pastors have that sgirit, then our churchee catch the fire. Second, let every leeson euggeet some point in missions. Third, have special mis-sion days. Fourth, have a mission-ary Sunday-school library of biog-raphy. Fifth, sing missionary songs. Sixth, we ought to have maps and show them about the people who have never heard the gospel. Sev-enth, have special organizations. These plans may be embraced in first, your own example; second, in-form your children; third, take mis-sionary collections.

"Suggestions as to Urganizstion and Management of Sunday-schools," by Prof. J. t . Henderson. He said: " The man who succeeds best is the man who csn organize. Decide who has the right to organizs. We all recognize that the church has this right. A committee should nominate a Superintendent, then the church should elect. The Superintendent in connection with the pastor may ap-point teachers if the church eees fit to vest the right in them. The Super-intendent should be warm-hearted, intellectual, and a man of common eense and business tact. The church ehould by vote sustain missioa fields."

Bro. J . J. Kennedy told us how he conducted the school at Cleveland.

Rev. B. N. Brooks endorsed Prof. Henderson. He also gave his expe-rience, as did Bro. Castle of Harri-man. These experiences were much enjoyed.

G. W. Fox said: "Teach the chil-dren how to conduct themselves and be attentive."

CoL T. H. Beeves said: " Baptists are independent, and Sunday-schools ehould be a type of the church. Or-ganize your Sunday-school without reference to what your church doee or c a m about it. Run the school by schedule."

Stacy Lord said: "If you find an old knotty, gnarly church that won't do, then let somebody do it; but as the church meets at preaching, so let it meet at Sunday-school."

J . H. Snow said: "My Sunday-school ia like any other organization in the church. Let the Sunday-school make their report to the church."

Dr. Shelton said: " I beUeve in organizing Sunday-achoola in the church and where there is no church. I take both eides."

" Devotional Element in the Sun-day-school Work" waa discussed by Bev. W. C. Hale. He called our at-tehtibh to thi^ faist that- the devotion •1 element ia neglected. It ia a great miatike to confine our devotional ele-ment to singing and prayer. We want to rise above machinery and reach a higher aphere. Aa we know God we ahall bewme like him.

" Relation of the Sunday-achool to the Church" waa ably discussed by Bev. Jasper Howell. Thia waa a splendid talk and I encloaa it to the BAFTIST AMD RXNIXOTOA. Thia closed the program with the exception of the Convention chipa.

Among the good things, Bro. Leon ard of Oregon aaid: "Four thinga contributa to make a Sunday-achool auccesaful: Punotoality, patieooa, prayer and pay. Trust God and we will realize more than we even ex peot"

Dedication.

The dedication of the Paleetine Baptist Church took plaoe on the third Sunday in July, and it will be remembered as one of the most nota-ble eventa in the history of this place. Dr. A. J. Holt of Nashville preached the dedicatory sermon at 11 a. m., and many pronounced his sermon the most elcquenti profound and scholar-ly to which they ever listened.

After the sermon the vast assembly waa invited to the beautiful grove near by, where an excellent dinner was spread. The good ladies deserve great credit for the magnificent dis-play of edibles that both pleased the eye and gratified the appetite. When dinner was over the choir opened the afternoon service by rendering some soul stirring selections. The elegant new house WAS SCOU filled to oreillow-ing with people anxious to hear Dr. Holt in hia most intertainiog lecture, "A Visit to the Holy Land." For two hours he held the large crowd al-most spellbound with his vivid de scription of Palestine and the sur-rounding country. His word paint-ing was remarkably fine, and his style of delivery was such as to impress the scenes and incidents in such a way as to make, them almost a part of one's life.

At 4:30 p. m. the corner etone was laid with impressive ceremonies, and at night another sermon, full of truth and good advice, was preached by Dr. Holt. A collection was taken for the benefit of the church and the sum of f 175 was soon obtained, thua putting the church out of debt.

Mr. A. G. Mathis of Milton, the architect, certainly has shown himself to be a man of taste and skill, and the people feel grateful to him for one of the handsomest country churches to be found. The building commit-tee, composed of the following gentle-men, Rev. A. J. Brandon, Rev. £. S. Miller, B. F. Jones and F. B. Will-iams, have been tireless in their ef-forts, and the commodious and beau-tiful building stands aa a monument of their energy.

I cannot close without mentioning a few of the generous contributors: Mr. J . W. Thomas, Jr., of Nashville, preeented the church with a pulpit stand that attracts the attention of all, for it ia "a thing of beauty," and it ahall often be a reminder of the no-ble donor. Bro. M. F. Jordan and hia venerable father, E. L. Jordan, made liberal gifta.

We rejoice that God has bleased us, and we ve him all the glory.

Bro. Thompson was here also, and pledges were takep for the orphans.

Brethren Irbyand Daupree repre-sented the University at Jackson. This Association thinks that the pro-fessors should not be required to give free tuition to ministerial students, as they have been doing for years, and hence pledges were taken to the amount of $175 to pay the tuition of such at the T Diversity. The profess-ors are already on very scant, not to say disgracefully inadequate, salaries, and all of that is not paid because so many students are taken free of tui-tion. The denomination should not let these things continue, but should pay a part, if not all, of these tuition fees and let the professors have their Itttle salaries in full. Will not other Associationa make similar provision for the beneficiaries and thus make the income of the institution suili-cient to meet its expenses until an endowment shall be raised which will do ill

Many things were said and done which deserve mention, but space will not allow it. The next session will be held with the church at Zion.

Hesilla Valley, a part of Dona Aoa County extending as far South as £1 Paso, is now suiTering great grief. Hi* Bio Grande, from which tbe farms and gardens and orchards ob-tain their supply of water, has been pleased to go dry. Until copious showers fall amid the mountains of Colorado and north New Mexico, this generous free gift of His will of ne-cesity be withheld. In the mean time the overaDxious tiller of the soil is looking aloft for signs in the heavens of the much desired visita-tion. The blue, clear, cloudless sky augurs no comfort for him. The winter snows,- which ordinarily hold a supply in reserve for the river, m e t t ^ in March and trickled down to swell this classic stream at a time when the surplus could have been dispensed with. But for want of proper water facilities, with its excep-tional climate and rich soil, this Val-ley would stand peerless amid the grand regions of the earth.

Last year's school report, furnished by the Superintendent of Education, Hon. Amado Chaves, shows that the Territory is rapidly coming to the front in edu<»tional matters. This, as much as the climate and soil, will attract immigration. Albuquerque, one of the progressive towns of New Mexico, has school facililies not to be surfMSsed by those of the most adranced sections of the country. It has four large and commodious mod-em public school houses and the money in hand for a central hi{fh school building, such as. will be a credit to the Territory. The New Mexico Territorial University, which occupies the largest and finest school edifice in the Southwest, is located at this point, and has an appropriation of tSQ.GOO a year for its maintenance. In this same town the Catholics main-tain two common schools and two academies. They were the pioneers in the •ducational line, and their pa-rochial schools were for years the only educaUonal machinery in the Territory.

the first of tbe rrotestant denomina lions to organiz9 systematic educa-tional work in New Mexico. The New West mainUics a number of small schools in tbe vicinity of Al-buquerque, and its yademy for the Territory is located hero. *The Meth-odists have located their territcrial college in this place, and the Presby-terians also own valuable property for educational purposes, bought originally for an Indian school. The last two mentioned denominations have in tbe Territory each respec-tively eleven schools and twenty-nine schools.

The United States Ooveroment in the cause of Indisn education has a school established ^at this place for the accommodation of all the various, tribes in the Southwest. The attend-ance is about 300. The Goss Mili tary Institute is another school lo-cated at Albuquerque.

Another school, one of the greatest prominence in the Territory, is lo-cated at Las Cruces, in Dona Ana County. With an annual appropria Uon of $^0,000 from the U. S. Gov-ernment and Territory, the Agncul-tural College will succeed without a doubt. The School of Mines is lo-cated at Socoiro, the Institute for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind at Santa Fe. Many other schools prominent in the Territory could be mentioned, but those named above will show that New Mexico is building wisely and securely.

A thought is suggested by this re-cent impetus given to public educa-tion-^it will tend to weaken the de-nominational schools and the mission schools established by a few Chris-tian churches ahd spe^ily enlighten the majority now under the dominien of the priesthood. Education is a wonderful enlightener. Will the Bap-tista allow this opportunity of plant-ing for Jesus to pass nnimprovedt Have they stations in the Territory for propagating the truth as con-tiUned in the New Testamsntf Bo-man Catholicism with its psgaaism has held sway over 800 yean. The illiteraoy, the anperatitlon, the idol-atry engendered whererar ahe holds the rrina i i palpable on erviy hand.

A few years ago the only item of in-formation in regard to the education-al condition of New Mexico that one could gather from public journals or official records was the brief but sig-nificant statement that "the Terri-tory has no public school system and has a higher percentage of illiteracy than any other political division of the United States." Within the short spsce of eight yesrs this mirsculous revolution in educational matters has taken place. The U. S. Government, the Territory and her people ere all aroused on this subject. Shsll the churches do less, and actually be-come a hindrance to the perpetuity of what has beon so nisely estab-lished by legislstionT

In the future it is hoped New Mex-ico will be included in tbe field of Home Mission work. She is deserv-ing. She has much to commend her—her internal resources and in-comparable climate. She has much to outlive —ignominy sccumulatsd from year to year from unwise gov-ernment and the presence of rapa-cious Indians. Before the car of prog-ress ignorsnce, idolatry and crime will give place to the best civilization thst education and Christian religion can give.

God speed the day when the moun-tains and the valleys of New Mexico vrill echo and re echo the name of Jesus. C. S.

Co'operatlou in Mission Work. To tbo Sunday-school Workers of tbe Soutbom

Uaptlat Convention. Dear Brethren and Sisters:—I am

anxious to get tbe co operation of each one of j(ta in the great work of missions. The Sunday-school Board has kindly agrsed to carry on the work begun last year by the Wom-an's Missionary Union of holding a "Missionary Day" for the special consideration of missions, and the presentation of It to the children all over our land. All of our sohools are requMtsd to have exercises on that day, in which thsy shall study the soriptural teachingf in reference to mlsslona and what is being done throngh the mlssioiuuriss. They sre also laqasstsd to engage in eamast

prayer and liberal oontributioas for this gresit work.

While the Sunday-school Board will undsrtake the work of projecting this subject, and will also prepare whatever literature is needed, yet we can only look for great success as we get theco-operation of Sabbath-school superintendents and teachers. These, who are our leaders, and who are training the young of our land, if fully enthused with the spirit of Christ, cannot but help (hose en-trusted to them to take part in mis-sions, God's great plan for the sslvs-Uon of the world.

The grest work that God would have us do in this world is to teach the lost of his love in Christ and lead them to him. He has given his Son for this work, and as we are Christ-like, we will give ourselves to its sc-complishment. Msny of those who have grown old will never realize their duty in reference to the send-ing out of the gospel; we must begin with the young. Let us train them in their duty, and a generation will rise up to recognize God's call and the world will hear of Christ as never before. Let the new era which dawns upon this world be not the iron, nor silver, nor golden age, but the Gos-pel sge, when a^ nevrr before the na-tions shall learn of Christ and turn to God. Let us make this " Mission-ary Day " a day of memorable conse-cration to the Lord.

As needed, euppliee of progrsms, etc., will be furnished free on appli-cation to the Baptist Sunday-school Board, Nashville, Tenn.

BOAJtDS AOAIN. We dUcass^l the subject of

Boards in last week's paper in re-ply to the article of Bro. Grime^. published in that issue, but did not have time to finish what we wanted to say. In objecting to the expensiveness of Boards as a means of carrying on our mission-ary work, Bro. Grime says: " Then take the three BoaY^ of the Southern Baptist Convention, and the expense of running these Boards last year was S37,092.37. Now I confess that this looks like quite a sum to us who live in the country where they talk about hard times. In this account oc-curs the salaries of three men at $2,600 each, making an aggregate of $7,600. And besides this, the Boards pay all their incidental ex-penses incident upon their official work, traveling expenses, e t a " In reply to this, we have several things to say:

L Bro. Grime include in his calculation the expenses of the Sunday-school Board of the South-em Bt^tist Convention. But he should remember that the Sunday-school Board is not a mission Board in the sense that it asks contributions for its work. I t givM value received for all the money which comes to i i I t asks for business, not for charity. I t not only pays its own way, but in addition it 'was able last year to pay t6 the Sunday-school work of varioai Stetes, as shown in the minutes of the Sonthem Baptist Convention for 1894, $2,620.83;

and at our last session of the Southern Baptist Convention, as we mentioned at the time, it was able to give a round thousand dol-lars to help out the Foreign Mis-sion Board in its emergency. I t is certainly great injustice there-fore, we think, to take the expen-ses of the Snnday-school Board of the Sonthem Baptist Convention and calculate them as a part of the expenses of the mission work of the Convention. It would be al-most the same thing as if you were to calculate the expenses of the B A I ' T I S T A K D K K F L E C T O H a s a p w t of the expense of the mission work of the Tennessee Baptist Conven-tioii.

2. Take the other two Boards. The reports of the Treaeurers of

!the Home and Foreifjn Mission Boards, as published in the min-utes of the Southern Baptist Con-vention in ISUl, show the fol-lowing result: Foreign Missions: Receipts, $10r>,:{32 (JO; expenses, $9,2o3,9!>. The expenses include the salary of the Corresponding Secretary and of the Treasurer, and stationery, maps, printing, ex-penses of the Vice-presidents of the Board, distribution of the For-eiffti Mission Journal, trareliog expenses, rent of mission rooms, the Board's (inota of the cost of printing the minutes of the South-ern Baptist Convention, excuses of woman's mission work, Centen-nial expenses and interest on bor-rowed money, which was rendered necessary by the fact that the churches did not send in sufficient money to meet tbe drafts of the missionaries as they fell due. The receipts of the Home Mission Board amounted to $73,320 91 and the expenses to $13,7G5.fi9. The difference between the expenses of tbe Home Mission Board and of the Foreign Mission Board was caused by the fact that last year the Home Mission Board had an Acsistant Corresponding Secre-tary, while the Foreign. Mission Board did not. I t may be r». marked, however, that tbe Home Mission Board has also this year dispensfd with the services of an Assistant Correisponding Secre-tary, and so has saved tbat item of expenses. Another difference in the expenses of the two Boards was caused by the fact that the Treasurer of the Foreign Mission Board simply reported the net amonnt received for Foreign Mis-sions in each State, while the Treasurer of the Home Board re-ported the gross receipts and then charged the amount of the expen-ses of agencies in several States to his expense account. Leaving off these two items, the expenses of the two Boards are abont the same, or about nine thousand dollars apiec& Adding up, howrver, all of the receipts and all of the ex-penaei of both Boards, wo have a total of recieiptB by the Mission Boards of the Southern Baptist Convention of $179,658.60, and a total of expense $28^10.09.

This does not look so awfully ex-travagant, does it?

3. It is troe, as Bro. Grime said, that a salary of $2,600 looks quite large to some of us; but it should be remembered: (1) That the Secretaries must live in large cities, where the expense of living is very much greater than it is in the country or small towns, and that consequently they must re-ceive larger salaries than those who live in those places, in order to be able to support their fami-lies; (2) Itshouldbe remembered, also, that the Secretaries of our Mibsion Boaids are, and must be, men of ability, men who are speci-ally adapted to the position. The fact of the business is, that while there are plenty of men who make good pastors, there are the fewest number of men who would make good Secretaries. I t reiiuires a peculiar combination of cbaracter-islics to make a good Secretary which comparatively few m e n poBbeFB. Every one knows, how-ever, that skilled labor always commands a higher price in any business than unskilled; (.3) Asa matter of fact, it may be mention-ed that tbe present Corresponding Secretary of our Foreign Mission Board left a church which was paying him at the time a-salary of three thousand dollars, and which was perfectly devoted to him and where he might have remained for the balance of his life, had he chos-en to do so. He took the call of his brethren, however, for the call of the Lord, and accepted the sec-retaryship of the Board at five hundred dollars less salary than he was receiving in the pastorate. The Secretary of our Home Mis-sion Board was President of the Agricultural and Mechanical Col-lege at Auburn., Alabama, at the time of his election to the secre-taryship of the Board, and we pre-sume was receiving a good salary in that capacity—how much we do not know. He is a man of great eloquence, of the highest wisdom and of the deepest piety, and could command a fine position almost anywhere; (4) Let it be bome in mind that it is not simply the business of the Secretary to receive and pay out the money. He has to preach about as often as a pastor; he has to write about as many articles as an editor; he has to speak as often as a lawyer; he has to write as many letters as a business man; he has to travel as much as a drummer; he has to keep in touch with the people in this country and try to stimulate them to contribute to tho cause which he has in hand; and then he has to take a general oversight of a large number of missionaries in thia land, or in foreign lands. I t is a mistake to suppose that the position of the Secretary of one of our mission Boards is a sinecure. On the contrary, it is the very hardest work, and few men, as we said, are equal to the task.

4. Bnt B r a Grime objects to

the Board paying the traveling ex-:pensee of its Secretary. Does he really think that the Secretary should be required to travel around over the country, some-times going a distance of a thous-and miles or more, upon business for the Board, and then be requir-ed to pay his own expenses in do-ing so? We cannot think that he means it. He thinks, however, that the Secretary ought not, at any rate, to travel in a Pullman sleeping car. In that he seems to be in line with Mr. Debs and some others just now. But re-member that it is frequently econ-omy to take a sleeper. I t is a sav-ing of physical and mental and spiritnal energy, and oftentimes becomes in the end a real saving of time. Wo do not believe that a Secretary should travel in a Pull-man car whenever he takes a trip, but we do think that he should be governed by common sense in the matter, and whenever he would take one if traveling on his own private business and at his own expense, we think that he owes it to himself and to the denomina-tion to take one.

5, Bro. Grime, however, does not think that it is right to pay the Secretary a salary of $2,500, while the missionary gets a salary of six hundred dollars "of the same kind of money," and then when a debt is contracted, they cut down the salary of the missionary and not of the Secretary. In reply we have several things to say: (1) Kveryone knows that it is more expensive to live in this coqntry than in tbe foreign lands whero our missionaries go. (2) The salary of the missionary, if he has a family, amounts to more than six hundred dollars. If he is a single man, his calary is fixed at that amount; but if he has a wife and children, he is given an al-lowance for each of them, suffi-cient for their support. (3) As a matter of fact, the missionaries are not paid in "the same kind of mon-ey" as the Secretary. They were jyromised payment in the same kind of money, bnt on account of the fact that the American money appreciated in value, or that the money of other countries depreci-ated, it was found that a dollar of American money was worth more than a dollar of money in these foreign lauds. In Mexico, for in-stance, a U. S. silver dollar is worth nearly two Mexican silver dollars. There is a similar dispar-ity, though perhaps not so great, in China. (4) The salaries of the missionaries wore not reduced by the request of the Board and npon compnlaion, as B r a Grime seems to think. In reality, the proposi-tion for reduction came from the missionaries themselves, and was caused by the difference in the value of money here and in other countries, of which we have jnst spoken, on account of which, as it turned out, they were receiving larger salaries than they had bar.

BAJPTIST Am) REFUEBCTOB, AUG. 2,1894. 9 gained for. They notified the Board of the fact, and asked that their salaries be reduced for that reason. (6) While there has been no Buch reason for reducing the salaries of the Secretaries, and while their expenses have been as great as ever, we happen to know that some of the Secretaries, at least, have given back to their Boards a considerable part of their salaries to help meet the indebted-ness upon them.

There are several more things we wish to say while we are upon this subject, of a somewhat more general character, but wo shall have to wait until next week to Bay them. H'AA' CUlllST AN ANAliCUJSTf

A reverend demagogue out West, Kev. Myron W. Reed of Denver, Col, in an address to the members of the American Railway Union on a recent Sunday, said that Christ was an anarchist. I t is such blatont demagoguery as this which is poisoning the minds of many people, and is doing so much harm. An anarchist means one who is opposed to government, who believes in doing away with constitutions, toaring down the walls of society, destroying the temples of justice and expunging all laws. To say that Christ was an anarchist in any such a sense as that is not only to misrepresent him, but to speak in the most ir-reverent manner, if not to commit blasphemy. He said: " I came not to destroy the law or the prophets. I came to fulfill." I t was not the law to which he was opposed; it was simply to the in-terpretation of some laws, which had grown up around them through tradition, and it was to the hypocritical observance of these laws which the Pharisees hatl introduced. His purpose in opposing the Scribes and Phari-sees was simply to strip the law of the extraneous growth with which they had enveloped it and bring men back to the plain and simple law of Moses; and also, and more especially, it was to fulfill that law in a still higher sense than that which the Pharisees had attached

' to i t Christ was in thorough spmpathy with the common peo-ple, who "heard him gladly," but he was not an anarchist in any sense of the word, and to speak of him as such is the veriest non-sense. I t may be a matter of some little interest to add that Rev. Myron W. Beed, the author of the alrave remark, was recently called npon by bis church to resign his pastorate for preaching such an-archistic doctrines, and the remark would scarcely deserve notice had it not been token up by the Asso-ciated Press and carried on the wbgs of lightning over this whole .continent to be read iu millions of homes. The Associated Press would think it nnnecessay to pub lish any contradiction of such a remark, bnt we thought that i

might be well to counteract its poison so far as the influence of the B A P T I S T A N D REFLEcron, at least, extends.

—One of the saddest deaths which hos occurred in Nashville in a long time was that of Mrs. Joseph Wamsr on Thursday of last week. As Miss Mamie Duncan, she being tbe daugh-ter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Duncan of this city, Mrs. Warner was one of the most beautiful and most popuUr young ladles ever in Nashville socie-ty. Upon her marriage about two years ago to Mr. Warner she carried the good wishes and the prayers of a large circle of friends and acquaint-ances both in and out of Nashville, who learned with the deepest regret of her unUmely death. Her family are all prominent members of the First Baptist Church, Nsshville, of which she also was a member* Her uueral services were conducted on Friday afternoon at the home of her atber in the presence of many sor-rowing lelaUves and friends. We tender our deep fqrmpathy to those who have thus been so sorely be-reaved. May God's benedictions rsst upon them, and may his grace be sufficient for them as this thorn pierces Lheir souls.

It is not thought that any considerable number will avail them-selvss of the opportunity thus offered, but that a few wiU probably do so.

Bi^hig the standard of edacation in female colleges Is the thing to be sought, and this our edncaton will settle down to before a great while." We are not specially opposed to oo-eduoation, with all propmr safe guards attached to it, bnt we do tiioroni^y believe in the remark made in thelast paragraph of the Baptitt, that tha standard of education hi our female coUegee should be raised hi Older thereby to secure higher female edu-cation. We ate glad to say, in this connection, that our Baptist female schools in Tennsesee are proposing to act upoB this prindple.

Bro, Brown assumes that it is not a shame for a woman to speak in church now. The ground of his assumption seems to be that inasmuch as some are accumtomed to do so, it cannot be _ shameful act. But dose custom change principle! Paul said: "For it is a shame for women to speak in church," and whenever one does so we confess that we feel a sense shame for her that she should vlohtte so plain a Scriptural injunction as well as the law of her sex, wheUier she feels such a shame for herself and whether Bro. Brown feels it for hsr or not.

—In an bterestbg article in the Central BapiiW about Mexico headed "A Thousand Tears Behind the Times," Rev. John T. M. Johnson of Missouri says: "Mexico is a thous-and years behind the times in agri-culture. Her plows and ox yokes are as primiUve as those made by Jesus of Nazareth. She is a thousand years behind the times in education; for 85 per cent, of her population is iUitei ate. She is a thousand years behind the timM in morals; for stetietidans tell us 80 per cent, of her children are iUegitimate. She is a thousand years behhid the times hi Christian religion; such is the example of her priests, and such the sjjrtem of doc-trines promulgated that the nation is entirely nnchaste and dishonest. The verdict of our party was, 'They are aU ttiieves,' and if I should itemize the things stolen from us you wonld sign the verdict." This is the result of three centuries and a half of Oath-olio domination.

In the hoosehold complications which aroMT during a prevailing inflnensa of tbe previous winter, Ohristine had been helping Mrs. Gay, from whose dressing-case one morning Ohristine m dusting took up a little pink paste-board box. It looked so nnlike its rich sur zoundings that she was hesitatini what to do with it when Mrs. Ga; entered

"Shall I take this to the child loomr inquired Christine.

" Yes—no, why, that's my thank-offering box," replied Mrs. Gay.

"Thank-offering box," slowly rq;)eated Ohristine, little compre-hending what that meant, and sti" at a loss what to do with i t

Seeing her puzzled look, Mrs. Gay began to explain. "It's to putmonqrin whenTm thankful its for Foreign Missions."

" What missions ate they ? " in quired Ohristine, who knew only of thecitymismon.

" Oh, they're in Ohina and India, in Tnricey and Africa, and other oountries," answered Mrs. Gay.

"Nobody can be so mnch poor as folks on the Flats, nor so mnc poor as folks in Sweden anyway," answered Ohristine, positively.

"Let me see," said Mrs. Gay. " Do mothers in Sweden, like Ind -an mothers, throw their belovet babies into a rapid river to please an angry god, and before they can turn away see them caught by a greedy shark? Do fathers in Swe-den, like Ohinese fathers, throw living girl babies into deep vaults bnilt for that purpose, or drown ihem in the presence of the sgon-ized mother? Do the women in Sweden, like the women of Turkey, cook their food in watei brough a long way upon thdr heads, and with fuel carried from distant hills npon their badu^ and when they hare prepared a meal see their hnsbimds and their husbands' dogs first; filled, and themselves anc ohildrsa permitted to eat what is leftr

M m Qaj .was surprised at her

own words; but mistaking Ohri^ ine's perplexed look for skepti-

cism she continued: " Atthe recent death of Asbantee's king, twelve iving women were sacrificed to line his grave. Is anything like that done in Sweden?"

Christine's eyes opened wide. "Oh, Mrs. Gay, if things be so bad, why don't the ministers say so? Why do they preach aa we do well to be saved ourself, and say not abont other poor bodies? I wish I had a box." And Chris-tine resumed her dusting.

"Here, teke this," said Mrs. Gay; you're welcome to it, I am snre."

Christine took the box. She never dreamed how welcome she was to i t She never suspected that all this eloiiaence was but the effervescence of the facts of mis-sions which Mrs. Webb, the presi-dent of tbe auxiliary, had been so faithfully dropping into Mrs. Gay's worldly mind.

Christine did not know that for months that little box had stood upon Mrs. Gay's dressing-case quite unheeded. Unheeded did I say? Silently it had put in its plea to many a purchase which Mrs. Gay had made.

A new rug had been needed for the library; Mrs. Gay wanted a Persian. ."Buy a Wilton," cried tbe little pink box. "and help Dahomey's burdened women. " The best is the cheapest; besides, I do not like for my friends to think I have no taste," argued Mrs. Gay, and she decided upon the Persian.

New curtains were needed for the parlors. "Bny brussels net,' whispered the pink box, "and help those little ones over there," and India's child-widows lifted be-seeching eyes. " These Irish point are so much handsomer," urged Mrs. Gay, "and while one is get-ting, it is economy to get a really good article," and the Irish point were purchased.

The china had to be renewed. "Bny Haviland, they are the very bes£^" said the clerk in Ovington'& "Buy Oharhibad," urged the little monitor of the dressing-case, and China's babies fiUed the air with wailing. " These Haviland wares are exquisite," returned Mrs. Gay; " I dote on lovely china." And the Haviland was ordered.

What wonder that Mrs. Gay had spoken earnestly 1 She had only repeated what she had herself heard. If bittemen were in her tone, Ohristine mistook its mera-ing. To her humble home that night Ohristine took the little box. She held it in her toil worn hand, she studied its mystic letters, "W. B. M. I." "Women Be Much In-terested," she exclaimed triumph-antly, as she dropped her first coin within, and then went upon her knees with sincerer thanks than she had ever felt before.

She went to her work the next morning with a new song in her heart She oonld not have told

yon why, but there was a new meaning in everything. Ewb homely task took on a new signifi-cance. She was the daughter of a king, a co-worker with the Lord. She did her work better, and the favors she received were but anat-nral consequence.

Mrs. Field had her maid put away all remnants from the table for Christine's chickens, and with each sackfnll Christine dropped a nickel into her box, "for now^" she reasoned to herself, " I have no chicken food to buy." If Mrs. Cook gave her a new apron, t nickel went lovingly into the box

When one March day her neigh-bor Johnson slipped and spraineil her ankle in goiug down the icy precipitous banks of the Missis-sippi, which separated the homes of the well-to-do from the river side where Christine dwelt, she sat down and slid and saved a fall 'Twas then she made a specia offering.

So day by day, and in many ways, tbe box was filled, and on the morning referreil to she hat brought it to Mrs. Gay. Mrs. Gay was at ilrst surprised, then she remonstrated. " You are giv-ing too much, Christine; you can' afford i t "

Christine was hurt Then she drew close to Mrs. Gay, and low-ering her tone, and in the mos confiding manner, she remarked "I 've tbiHy dollars in the bank I can give so much as this, an( I'm so happy as if I have millions," and then she hurried on to her day's work.

Expensive carpets, rich draper ies and rare bric-a-brac had no interest for Mrs. Gay that day. She tbought of their bank stock and of their real estate, and o Christine's box. She had been trying to quiet her conscience wit a dollar a year for missions, bn before she slept that night she took from her purse a gold bal eagle and tucked it in the box.

But Christine had another au( itor that morning. Judge Gay himself was sitting in the library and had heard every word. He was not happy, though he had had the day before a sale of real estate a1 such a proud advance. Now hie was belaboring himself because he had not held it at twelve thousam instead of ten.

Christine's exultant "I'm so muc happy as if I have millions," kept ringing in his ears.

That night when the house was still, no one but God and the angels saw Judge Gay take tha little box and slip two gold eagles into its almost bursting sides.

Of the rejoicing in heaven we do not know; but we do know tha there was a burden lifted from the missibhary society next day when the thank-offering was counted and Mrs. Webb recognized peculiar tenderness in Mrs. Gay'

or years how it came about, and Christine never knew the part she had in making both Judge and Mrs. Gay the earnest helpers they becatne in all missionary en-.erprises.—Ex.

Obstacles.

I was walking rapidly on a now plank walk, and thinking how nice it was, when I came to a fence across i t I stopped surprised and annoyed. Why thisobstacle? Jut I soon saw why. The plank-iUg was incompleted. I t ended, or the time, on the edge of a deep

ditch. Until that ditch was bridged, travelers bad to go around. The incident set m© thinking. The obstacle was ilnced acroBB the walk by the uien who built the walk. I t wnn in-tended to save pedestriaus, who used that walk, and who trustwl in it, from a terrible catastrophe. Its purpose was beneficent And is it not so with us, almost daily, in our pilgrimage? We meet ob-stacles. Wo wouder why we are stopped. We cannot see what is before us, as I could, looking over the fence into the ditch. But wu know that tiod is responsible for tbe obstruction—that he, in his in-finite wisdom and love, has arrest-ed us. Hence it is both foolish and wicked to fret and murmur.

No man can look back upon his past life and not see that, often, his bitterest disappointments were blessings in disgoise—obstacles were helps and losses were gains. All things work together for good to them that love God. The work-ing seems strange to us. But Ho who directs and controls it makes no miBtakea.—Herald and rrrs-hyler.

—Live for something. Do good, and leave behind you a monument of virtue that the storm of time can nev-er destroy. Write your name in kind-ness, love and mercy on tbe hearts of thousands you come In contact with, year by year; you will be as legible on the hearts you leave behind as the stars on the brow of the evening. Qood deeds will shine as the stars of heaven.—CAo/mcrs.

When you read this it will be Au-gust, a new month in our work, a fresh opportunity for you to do the dear Master's work in your little cor-ner. With some of you, who live in tbe countiy, vacation is over, and what you accomplish in earning your "missionary money" must be done by work out of school hours. I hope that fact will only add to the zeal of your efforts, and that I shall have your name in the " receipts " as often as ever. For the city and town chil-dren this Is the last month of vaca-tion. May I not hope that they will make the most of it in every possible way?

Miss Annie Armstrong, Correspond-ing Secretary of the Woman's Mis-sionary Union, has written me for a report of the work of tbe Toung South. Mrs. Hailey reported It up to the meeting of the Convention. I shall send an account of all you have contributed since I assumed control of this page. As she wishes it by August 6tb, I cannot delay much longer, and I greatly fear I am not to have the whole of our S50. We are crawling up slowly though, as you will see If you note our " receipte," and I am very grateful to all who have so kindly and promptly respond-ed to recent appeals. Let us all start out aijiew now, and make our second quajter's work a greater ^^ the first. We can do it if reader will come to the work bravely and cheerfully and, above all, prayerfully.

Is it ahnost time to hear from our " mlaslonaiy hensf" Have not the tiny chicks grown big enough to sellT What of the eggsT And those pick-ers of benleat What have they to nyt And Um July birthdays y An thm not some summer children who am iMdy to aend their birthday of-ferings like these dear liillaonesin Humboldt, "Tenn.T Read nhat they have done.

"SomeUme ago I proposed to my infant class that each of thsm bring a

birthday offering to be applied to the support of the

TOCHO SODTU MISSIOMABT. I tried to impress the older ones with the thought of earning or saving thmr money. They seemed pleased, and soon aomM>f them brought thdr gifts, earned by picking strawberries and in other ways. I have been waiting on them for some time, but sedag the urgent appeale for money to pay the debt of our Foreign Mission Board, I send you what I have on hand. It comes from twenty-seven children, a penny for each year of thmr lives. Use It where you think best, and be assured that it is accompanied by our prayers. I endeavor to keep some worthy object before the children all the time. Next to their own conver-sion, the one great tbought with me is to lead them to be intelligent, earn-est Christian workers in the Master's vineyard. I pray that the Lord may enable you, as a leader, to develop and train the children of the South for fields of usefulness." (Amen!) " I hope to get an offering from every child in tbe class, and I will •end it on immediately. Wishing you great success in your work, I am yours truly, (Mas.) B. H. Imman."

I hope all the Sunday-school teach-ers will ponder over these lines. What a sweet spirit of consecration, of lov-ing zeal in the Savior's service, breathei through them all! Happy the chil' dren who have such a teacher' Let me beg you ail to go and do likewise.

Dr. Willingham writes me that the Board will soon send Mr. and Mrs. Maynard from Covington, Tenn., to Japan, and he adds that they are " excellent people." I know you will take a great interest in them, as they go from Tennessee. I hope Mrs. Maynard will write the Toung South some special letters in regard to the work to which she is divinely called, and 1 hereby appoint any member of our band, in or around Covington, a special committee to urge her to do so. Tbe Toung South will follow her career in their own choeen field with prayerful solicitude.

Here is Mrs. Bailey again! She is ever welcome:

" It has been sometime since I hut wrote you, because so many of our band have gone to the country for the hot weather, that we have had no meeting this month. I send what we have on hand. I hope and pray the debt of the Foreign Board will soon be paid off and our mission work move grandly forward. Tours truly,

N. G. BAILET." Ob! for more of these "Toung

South Bands" who wUI give syste-matically, persistently. Thanks to this one!

And here's another from our own Nellie Powell, Paris, Tenn.: ^

I' I am so glad you think I am get-ting along so well, helping on the dear Lord's cause. I will tell the Toung South how I earned my money. Mamma and I raise chickens togeth-er, and we reserve some to sell for missions. . Then she gives me a nldwl every time I chum, and if any of yon ever churned you know it is worth a niokeL .1. have had sevtnl dims* ^ven mie by friends. Oh! if all who profsss to be God's children would try to please Him as Ui^ do to please the world, we would soon have our hundred dollan. I frill asnd more as soon as I can. Lovingly,

NiLua PowaLL."

The editor has a feeling iMoUeo-tion of dinming oncs just oncs in what is fast getting to bealonglife. She rsdOMnbera that the butter would not come, and she wouldn't give up until her hands wws blistsrad, and she had to go to bed with an adiing hsad. So, althongh she would not encourage Nellie to sttil», she would cwrtdnly advise her not to consider any rsduction in wages, and she is sure a nickel earned by chammg ought to count high.

And hue's a bit of a lettsr from the veiy first little girl on the Toung South list:

"I have been very busy since I wrote you. We are making a mis-sionary quilt, and we want to sell It and send the money to yon. I send what I have ready now. Tour little friend, Nilwon Nowuk."

If some benevolent person would buy that quilt and give it to the Or-phsnsge^ or send it to some needy misnonaiy on the frontier, how very nice that would be! Will our little friend tell us whether it is calico or woolen or silk, what the pattern is, and what the price will be, all quilted and bound! Who knows but the Toung South may furnish snch purchaser, if she has not already found one in MartinT

The postman brought this much appredated note this morning:

" As requested in the last issue of the Battist ahd Bstlkoxob, I will send what I have in my mite-box im-mediately. I had thought to keep it until I bad filled i t I am anxious to do all lean to send the young lady to Japan. Beepectfully,

Geo. 8. GAaacTT." That's well for Pocahontas! Let

us hear from all along the line now, and make a brave showing for the new month. I shall send Dr. Willing-ham all we have in the treasury on August 2nd, except what has been contributed for the Orphanage. lam youn in great hope

Dear Baptist and liefleetor :—l bm torn your columns that Prof. J. P. lamilton is to have charge of Mary

Sharp College, and I wish to say that those who desire the rehabilitation and ultimate success of this grand old in-stitution have cause to congratulate themselves that a gentleman so horoughly equipped for the work bas been chosen. A born educator, a devout Christian, a thorough Baptist and essentially refined to a degree superior to most men, he is the man 'or the place. And he has a most cilicient helpmeet and coadjutor in liis lovely wife. Highly cultured, and living for the glory of the Master, there is a charm, a simplicity about lier that wins the heart at once. Those who place their daughters un-der the kind, judicious care of Pro-esBor and Mrs. Hamilton may rest

assured that their interests in every particular will be carefully guarded. Mow let the Baptists of the South come up to the help of Mary Sharp as they did when I was a pupil within her classic halls and restore to her the preslige she deserves. In ante-iiellum days Mary Sharp was the pio-neer for woman's higher education, taking the ground that she pcwsessed as much intellect as her brothers. Vassar and other colleges have fol-lowed suit. So, now, sisters, rally to the assistanco of our beloved Mary Sharp by sending your daugh-ters there. Dr. Z. C. Graves, who was her president in the palmy days of yore, is now in the chair, still a grand, venerable advocate for wo-man's thorough education. Ue long ago said and acted on the same: "Give the girl an equal chance with the boy." All honor to him! Now let the watch-word ring along our Baptist lines: Bally to Mary Sharp!

Schools and Colleges Will Make a Mistake if in making up their advertiaug schedule lor

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. Naslivlile being the recognized Educatloual Center of the South,

its religious papers and periodicals-of which more than a dozen are pub-lished—ara usually consulted by those interested in Educational Matters.

2 . Anioug all these papers the B A F T I S T A N D BERLXOXOATS easily fore-most in the number of, and amount of space given to School Announcements. It follows that its columns are attentively acanned by parents and others having young people to educate.

II. Southern Schools are, as a rule, sustained by patronage from the States of the South and Southwest, and this is precisely the field where the Rubscribers and readers of the B A P T I S T A N D B B F L E O T O B are found. Using the B A P T I S T A N D B K R L X O T O R as a seed sower, you reach just the fruitful ground you aim for, and are not scattering seed promiscuously along the way aide.

4 . Itecognlxiug the unusual pressure of the times the B A P T I S T A N D B E -

F1.KUT0B is prepared to make liberal concessions in rates to all schools con-tracting for their usual amount of space.

Presidents and Principals are cordially invited to write to the BAPTIST AND REFLEOTOB,

only thirtasn members. Our anemias laughed at our apparent weakness. The church soon began to take on spiritual strangth and life. They made sacrifices, and prayed Ood to send them a shepherd. Their prayers were heard, and Bev. W. L . Tkylor of CleveUnd, one of the atrongest and best gospel preachers In East Tennessee, accept^ the pastorate. The brethren agreed to bring in their contributions on the first day of the week and pay the pastor at the mpnth-ly services. For four years this agree-ment has continued between pastor and church. The pastor has never failed to fill his appointment, and the church has never failed to promptly pay the pastor at the close of each monthly meeting. The church has never asked outsiders for a cent to pay the pastor; has never raised a cent for church expenses by having sup pen or reaorting to worldly efforts to secure churoh funds, or begging our State Mission Board for help. The church now has a membership of over 100, is thoroughly indoctrinated with the doctrines of Christ, and quick to detect a spurious or counterfeit gtw pel.

The churoh had a rare treat on last Sunday in listening to one of the! deepest, most profound, eloquent and convincing sermons ever preached in this town, on "The Design of Bap-tism," by Bev. James Smith,who lives not far from Cleveland. As he unfold-ed the purpoees of Ood and showed that it had nothing to do with purify-ing the soul or ImparUng infinite life with a finite aubetance like water, but waa merely an external ordinance, teaching by.an object lesson the great doctrine of the resurrection of the body, his argumente and illustra tions were so powerful and convinc-ing that quite a number who ara not Baptists have expressed themselves as being satisfied that we have the truth on this ordinance and teach it correctly.

I wish the churches all over East Tennessee would send for Bro. Smith and have him preach four sermons-one on the "Design of Baptism," one on the "Mode of;Baptlsm," one on the "Subjecte of Baptism," and one on the " Proper Administrator of Baptism." These sermons are needed In every Baptist Churoh in the Stote, and Bro. Smith delivers them In the power and demonstration of theSpirit. May Ood by his Spirit open the way so that the ohurohea may hear these discourses. C. O. S A M C I I . .

I take great pleasure in adding my teetimony to the many hundreds of others who hav* t e s t ^ the virtues of the Eieetropoiae. Ipuiohasedau instrument of you about February 11. 1892, and began its use. I had been in bed for two years and was reduood to a shadow of my former self; my troobl* was nervous prostration and Iwaskeptalire only by the use of tonics and careful nursing. I had no appetite, could not sleep and what Uittle strength I had was being rap-idly exhausted by terrible nervous peispirations.

When I first began to use the Elect-ropdae I had to use very low power. 1 1 ^ off my tonics and stimulants at once and depended entirely on the Elsetropois*. My recovery was nec-essaiily alow. At the end of three months I could see but little improv-ment, «xoept that my appetite and sweet sleep had retnruned and the nerroos perspirations had ceased. I thsn begu to gain more rapidly, be-ing M modi improved in • few montha that I was able to resume my honsehoU duties. I am not as strong now as in my younger days, but I am en joying better health than I have for a long time. I give the Electro-pdw credit for my recovery.

HOFFMAN.—Disd at her home near Hartsvilie, April 25,1891, Mrs. Frankie Hoffman, s g ^ 25 years. She united with tbe Baptist Church at Shady Orove iD the year of 1878. All the traits of character that make up a pure Christian woman were possessed by her to a degree rarely surpassed. She was thoughtful of others and strove in a worthy manner to increase the happiness of those around her. It was the pleasure of the writer to live with her five years, and to know her intimately, and if she had a dis-position to detract from the happi-ness of others, either by word or de^, I could not discover it. Her manners, so gentle and engaging, seemed to be the outflow of the heart which was purified by faith in the Sjn of God. When she realized that death was near she called her husband and only biother and requested them to meet her in heaven. She died in the tri-umph of a living faith. May the Lord bless and comfort her faithful husband, her brother and little girl with her many relatives and friends which she leaves to mourn her loss is the desire of a friend.

D . S . BBED. Hartsvilie, Tenn.

LCTTBBLI,.—It pleased our heaven-ly Father, on the 4th day of June, 1894, to call from among us our be-loved Sister Mary Luttrell. She was born Feb. 9:h, 1831, in Washing-ton county, Tennessee. She pro-fessed faith in Christ at 18 years of sge and united with the Baptist Church. She moved with her bus band, Biohard H. Luttrell, to John-son County, and united with the raylorsville Bsptist Church, and re mained a consistent and worthy mem-ber until her death. As a Baptist, she was steadiest, always contending earnestly for the faith " once deliver-ed to the saints." She leaves 4 daughters and 2 sons, with a host of friends, to mourn her departure. We as a church feel and realiza that a mother in Israel has fallen, and while we deplore the loss to the church and community, we most humbly submit to the will of Him who doeth all things well. As a church we tender our profound sym-pathy to the children and friends of our worthy sister in this sad hour of bereavement, and hold up her life work as worthy for them to imitate, and urge them tooonsecrat* them-selves to the service of the Lord. Hay God comfort the broken hearted chil-dren in (bis hour of grief. May they live with the sweet hope of meeting their mother in bliss.
