—The House of Bepresentatives has adopted the Senate compromise tariff bUl and It is now ready for the signatura of President Cleveland. They went on the principle that this biU was better then no tariff legisla-tion. We hope that the country will now have rest snd that prosperity will return.

—An organization calling iteelf The Proteetant Episcopal Society of

tiie Befonnation," located in New York, has been sending out circulars, one of which calls attention to the "rapidly increaeing sect generally known as Bitualists," and declaiee that they are " teabhing doctrinee di-notly in conflict with Protestant Christianity." It adds that "this esct, moving boldly, often craftily, has perverted the church to a far greater degree than is generaUy sup-p ^ . " The aim of the society is to opposs "these schismatic snd revolu-tionary efforts for un-Proteetantiaing our chuioh." It asks for contribu-tions and namss for membership. The particular doctrinee against which it protests sis the "suthorityof trsdi-tfon," that" communion is a sscriflce of ghrist," ths t" ministers sre prieeta for offering up hie sscriflce," "trsn-substsntistion," "prieetiy sbeolu-tion,"' "suriculsr confeeelon," snd "prisstlymedistion."

—The Mail and Exprem of New York is authority for the statement that a number of bar-tenders in New Yotk have loet several fingers of both hands within the paet few years, and upon examination by the phyeicians the fact was discovert that they were actually rotted off by the beer which they conetanUy handled. He then quotee the head bar-tender of a well-known down-town ssloon ss ssjing that he knows a number of cssss where beer-drswers have, in addition to losing several fingers of both hands, loet the use of both members. Hs then sddsd: "Beer will rot iron, I believe. I know, and every bartend-er knows, that it is impossible to keep a good ^ r of shoee behind the bar. Beer will rot leather as rapidly almost as acid will eat into iron. If I werea temperance orator, I'd ask what must beer do to men's stomschs if it ests away men's fingers and their ehoe leather. I'm here to sell it, but I won't drink it, not much." And yet there are plenty of poor fools in this world who wUl insist upon filling Uisir stomachs witii it every dsy. But if it will rot fiogen and shoes snd iron, why will it not rot stomschsT It mil, unlees they sre made of cast iron.

—Many people are confused over the terms immigration and emigra-tion, using one for the other. The difference, however, is veiy grest, ss any student of Latin knows. Immi-grstion msans migration inwsrd snd emigration means mlgrstion outwsrd. Ws sre glad to note in this connec-tion thst whsrsss for s number of yesrs ws have been overwhelmed with foreign immigration to our shoies, ths tide hss now turned snd ths emigrstion exceeds the immigra-tion. This is very gratifying. Our country has bssn msds ths dumping ground for ths offscourings of all lands, and this is ths r ^ n why ws hsvs hsd so much trouble recentij.

BT RFV. A. B. CiBiNlSS WHAT THE HOTS ABB HOT DOINU.

I

In a former article we showed what thegirla were doing-, but in this, it becomee our 4Mty to t9ll what the boys are not doing.

VTe know, dear boys, that it is against "the rulee" to tell talee out of school; but truth demands that we ahould inform your parents that you are not keeping up with the girls in your atudiea.

In a recent'article in the BAPTIST AXD BsrtEOTOB Preeident Oambiell of Mercer University, Georgia, show-ed that in aome States there were from tea to twenty girl graduates to one boy; rather a bad showing for 70U, boy s. I am sorry to say that my information compels me to confirm hia aaaertion. I have counted up the gniduatcs in a number of towns and viliagss where I am acquainted, and find that in every one of them the girl graduatea out-number the boys, and in aome cases by large odds.

In one town a bright young girl graduate told me that ahe doubted the:prop'<^t7- of educating the girla ao far ahead of the boys, as it depriv-ed the girls of congenial aociety, and if they nqarried they were compelled to take an intellectual inferior. She added: "It ia sad to see how little literary aspiration the boya of this town have. They could get as good an education as their aisten, but they don't aeem to deeire i t A fast horse and buggy seem to be the height of their ambition." In that town noticed that the women did most of the teaching in the Sunday-schools, and all the teaching in the day achoola. . Sometime aince, a literary lady,

writing to me from a large town in a distant State where ahe waa training a nomber of bright, ambitious girls for graduation, deplored the lack of congenial aociety among the young UMQ. She thought that her bright gradaatea would have to emigrate if they darired to find t h ^ intellectual eqoala for hosbandi. Now boys, what do you think of that!

Taka another caaa. A ahort time ainca, I waa talking witti a teacher of an academy hare in Tenneeaee, and heiemariied: "While I am taMhing 1 M it my d n ^ to enoonrage my pufdla, jilevaia their thoughts and insplra their ambitiona to do aome-Udog and be aomebody in tha world bat I hava almoat despaired of. my boya. I td l them I begin to fear thdr aapirationa will never rise Ugh •r than tha amoka from tha dgara and dgarattaa t h ^ haw nnfortnnata-ly laaiawd to polL My girla aaam to have more amUUoB and study to

qualify themselvea to become Jteach-ers and make themselvea useful in the world."

This reminds me of a conversation which I had some years ago with one of the professors in Georgetown Col-lege, Kentucky. He said: "Though our college is located here in this blue-grass region, we graduate but few blue-grass boys. The large mnj^rily of them will not stay in school long enough to graduate. The most of our graduates are from the counties and places outside of the blue grass region. Uofortunately the blue-grass boys attend the races, trotting match es, county fairs and stock shows where they learn ' horse talk.' Then take a liking to stock-trading and training fast horses. Then when they get a fast horse and a buggy, they say good-bye to books, and you can't inspire them with any higher literary aspirations than ' horse talk' and dis-cussing the merits of the crack base-baU players." He added: " But it is not so with the blue grass giris. Professor Buckner's Female College is crowded with them every year, and a large mumber of them hold on till they graduate.'! I will here add that since that conversation the trustees have made the Georgetown College co educational, and the girls in the female school are allowed to attend the college and recite with the boys in any and all of the clasm and take their diplom^as just as the boys do. As they will now be crowding the boys at every examination for the higheet honors, it is to be hoped it will wake up the eluggards among them and put all on their mettle, so aa to atimulate the boys to higher aims and nobler efforts.

Boys, let me tell you the natural result of the above facts— CULTITATSD INTELLECT WILL TAKE THE

LEAD. "Knowledge is power" is a trite but

true proverb. The women are no ex-ception to this law which God has imbeded in our nature. As a natural result of this law, the women are tiding the lead in education and moral reform. They are doing moet of the teaching in our churches and public schools. In Massachusetts they out-number the male teachers ten to one, and in the whole United States they out-number them two to one. Unless the sleepy boys of the present generation wake up and "hustle" along the road to intellect-ual improvement, it will not be long before, instead of two-thirdsof our taiachsra being women, they will num-ber three-thirda. Then their monop-oly of education will be complete, and the men will have to look up to them for information. Then, aa a natural consrquenoe, the women will and ought to rule the men, it the deciaion of the people of the Southern States be correct—that the "auperior morals and cultured intellect ought to rule the ignorant masssp," for ^ e good of the masasa. One tUng I know, auperior intellect doea rale, whether in man or woman, and the inferior in-telled, as a mlf, bowa aubmisaively to the will of tha auperior. Aa DrJ Oambrall wall aaya, "A smart woman ia an over matoh for a fool man avary time." I could giva you azamplea, not a few, in proof of thia fact, did apaoa permit ' In a long Ufa and aztandva travel

among tha famiUea of aarth, I hava notioad thitt whan intallaot and

knowledge predominated in the wife she generally had her way and man-aged her husband, though it was often done so adroitly that he did not have sense enough to know it, but his neighbors did and would some-timea remark: "At that house the gray mare is the . better horse " In my daily travels in the interest of my paper, I usually inquire for thn fsmi-lieis where I may likely lucctod in in-troducing it. In giving me informa-tion the friend will sometimes say: "In Mr. 's family you will do well to see bis lady first, as she is Boss, and her will ia law in that house." I have generally found that my in-formant was correct, and that the wife's iatellaot fitted her wall to boss the house, as she knew much more than her husband and was often, by far, his moral superior. The fact is, some men have the good sense not only to see, but to candidly acknowl-edge their wife's superior knowledge, and say to me: "I don't know much about such things and I leave it to my wife to decide. Just go to her and whatever she says will be all right with me."

In one neighborhood, during the post summer, I found five families where the men could not read, but their wives could. I induced them to take our paper for the benefit of their wives and children. One or two said: "Though I can't read myself my wife reads to me, and I love to hear it."

Pear boys, from the way the girls are now going ahead, yo)i can readily see that unlees the boys of the pres-ent generation wake up and strive more persistently for intellectual, im-provement, the wivM of the future men will have to look upon their hus-bands as "weaker vessels" and bear with them. Now. the question arises, are you willing to become the "weak-er vasselsT" As certain as effMt fol lows cause some of you surely will, unless you, boys, turn over a new leaf.

Now, as this year is near ita close, it is a good time for you to " cast up your accounts," as the merchants say, and see how you stand with the world, and take a new and better start for the ensuing year. Fearing that you might neglect thia important duty I have been doing it for you, and have shown you and your parenta exactly how you stand-educational-ly and morraliy, aa compared with the girls. I am sorry to say that your account ia mt'nus. Though the girla have increased their fortunes in a greater ratio than you have, atill I can give you the comforting assur-ance that the majority of you are not broke. Many of you atill have your original capital to atart the year 1895 with—that is, a sound mind in a sound l ^ y , the best captial anybody ever atarted with. So do not sit puff-ing away your energies and your op-pbrtunitiea into the amoka of a cigar-ette, as the manner of aome % while lamenting yoar lack of capital and opportunity to do aomething and to make aomebody of youraelf. Taka the advice of an old man: Don't wait for aomething to tarn up, but go to work phyaioally and intdlaotual-lyi and turn aomething np for your profit and improvement avary day, avaiy month and aveiy yaar till you make a man of yooiaalf, intallactual-ly and morally. Than whan you go to one of our bright girl graduataa •nd aak her to baoomt yoar p a ^ a r and hdpmata for Ufa, ba aMond ah*

will aay, "Yes, you are the very man I have been waiting for aU this time, while declining the offers of some "weaker vessels" to embark on the voyage of Ufe with their frail barks."

Farewell, boya, and a pleasant voy-age to you through life with the girl of your choice, when you have mode a man of yourselvee. Pro-l togenorat lon Unacrtptural.

classes of thinkers: those who get their theology from schools and those who get it from the Bible. The for mer class generally hold to what is known as pre-regeneration. They are opposed by the latter class, be cause such doctrine is not found iu all of the Scriptures. I wish in the present article briefly to submit some scriptural objsctions to this theory.

1. The new birth cannot precede faith, because sinners become the children of God by faith. " Ye are all the children of God by faith. <Gal. iii. 20). This is equivalent to saying that through faith and con-temporaneous with its exercise the soul is renewed, for sonship with God is the reeultof the new birth. Regeneration, therefore, cannot pre-cede faith.

2. Tha new birth cannot precede faith because faith ia the channel through which salvation is bestowed. "By grace are ye saved, through faith." But the saved man ia a re-generated man, and it must therefore take place through faith in Christ as a condition.

3. Faith must precede the new birth becBum justification is by faith. Paul says: " Therefore being justified by faitb, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." If justified, then the believer la regen-erated, for it is not possible for a child of God to be in a atate of con-demnation. Faith must therefore precede regeneration.

4. Tho new birth does not precede faith, because it is through faith that salvation is attained. Every one who is born of God poesessea eternal Ufe, and no unbeUever has eternal life, for " He that believeth not ahall not see Ufe, but the wrath of Ood abideth on him." This settles the question that eternal Ufe ia bestowed through faith. But if eternal life is beetowed through faith, then some that hava been born of God U8 under hia wrath, because they hava not believed.

Other reasons cquaUy convincing might be adduced demonstrating the pre regeneration theory to be utterly untenable according to the Word of God. In a aucceeding paper I pro-poae to expose the fallacy of the ar-gumenta relied on by the advocatea of thia theory to austain i t

A DBIEr SEBHOH BY BEV. 8. E. J0NK8, (or Carxon and Nowman Collcfu). "Thoreforu, mjr betovod bruthron, bo yo HleadfaHt, uomoveubli), ulwuyH abuundinR In tbe work of the L«rd, Inraimuch an ye know tbal your labour la not iu vain In tbn i.onl."— I Cor. XV: 6N. Paul's epistles to the Corinthians

were written to refute certain false doctrines and praoticee. Among other heretical notions introduced among them was, that " there is no resurrec-tion of tbe dead." If there were such a thing, it was already past So the very foundation on which Paul had built their hope of salvation was be-ing destroyed. "If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous dot" If the apoatle could have taken advice from some modern divines, no doubt he would never have written against false teachers and doctrines; but it seems that we have in him an example of duty and transcendent im-portance of refuting all doctrines and condemning alllpraotices not in accord with " the truth as it is in Jesus."

1. The fundamental doctrine of Christianity: Christ died and rose again.

" Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also you received and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have beUeved in vain. For I deliver^ unto you first of all that which I also re ceived, bow that Christ died for our sina according to the Scriptures; and that he was buried and rose again ac-cording to the Scriptures." In the foregoing passages we have the goa pel defined—received—and no possi-biUty of apostaay unlees the gospel itself ia believed in vain; which may be interpreted in one or two ways: (1) one has believed in vain, if he has IM Uaved a lie; (2) he haa beUeved in vain if he now does not believe what he once believed to be truth and is truth. The Corinthians had believed in vain if Paul preached them a lie; aU hopes excited were falae; if in this life only they had fibpe in Christ they were of all men moet miaerable.

Why should one deny himself any thing if there be no resurrection of the deadt "Let ua eat, drink and be merry, for to-morrow we die." There ia no middle ground between Epicure-anism and Pauliam.

There ia no immortality if there is no reeurreotion of the dead. Thia Paul plainly teaohea when he aaya: (if tha dead riae not) " then they that are fallen asleep in Christ are perish ed." "Life and immortaUty have bean brought to light" through the goapel of resurrection and no other-wise,

Now what ia the character of the proof lhat the dead ahaU rise > I t ia juat anch aa we demand in the affaira ofthiaUfe->the orediUble testimony of sane, varaoioaa, witneisea.

Thaapoatia prooeedato demonrtrate the do^rine of the raaurreotion in general by arguing a particular oaae. If it can be ahown that one person haa ever baan resurrected, then the doofarine maat be trae io general, pro-Tidad than ia in tha laauneotion of that one good and auflloient leasona for tiw naauraotion of one "aalaap in Jaaaa."

" If there |ia no raaaureotion of the daed, then ia Oluist not riaan, but now is Christ xiaan and baoomethe flntfniita of tlwm that alaap."

The claima of Christ before his cru-cifixion (aa well aa after): " I am the reaurrection and tha Ufe. ' " And this is the Fatiier'a wiU who sent me that of aU which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day." Now if Christ rose from the dead, he taught the truth and aU he said wiU come to pass. So the truth of Christianity, the reasons of our hope and rejoicing are in the fact that Christ was resur-rected from the dead.

The proof is of the palpable and unquestionable kind: He was seen (l)]of Cephas, (2) of above 600 at once the majority of whom were living when Paul wrote this epistle, (3) of James, (4) then of all the apostlee, (6) last of aU by Paul himself, who for Jesus Christ and the truth suffered the loss of all things and counted them as dirt, that he might win Christ, be found of him and attain to the res-urrection of the dead. Paul does not exhaust the proof, but his citations are ample.

"Our bodies tbat corrupted fall Shall Incorruptcd rise. And mortal forma ahall apring to life Immortal In Ibe Hklca." " Let faith exalt her Joyful volec And thua begin to alng: ' O (Srave, wbor« ia thy triumph nowr And whore. O Death, thy ating?'" 2. Practical deductions. If what has been preached is true

—steadfast and immovable, (1) Be ye steadfast and immovable.

Be firm in the faith of the gospel, be immovable in the hope of eternal Ufe, hold to the rejoicing of your hope steadfast unto the end, for he is faithful that promised. The founda-tion of the Lord atandeth aure. " For if we believe that Jeaua died and roae again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him."

(2) Always abound in the work of the Lord. We have not only been saved from sin, but saved to good works. In these we should overflow —abound. Thia is argued from the consideration that we'cannit work for the Lord tn vain. Our labors have an issue, a great reward; and there is as much certainty of thia aa that there ia to be a reaurr^ion of the dead. We owe it to our Lord. We are not our own, but havelieen bought with a price. We should, therefore, glorify Him in our souls and bodies, which are His.

Some might consider it a very ab-rupt turn the apostle gave in connec-tion with this conclusion, that the sainta ahould alwaya abound in the work of the Lord, but he certainly is in line when in the very next sentence he saya to them: "Now concerning the collection . . . . aa I have given order to the cburohee . . so do ye." Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by in Store aa God haa prospered him, that there beno gathering when % come "

Any ayatem of religion that does not have in it a practical «idr, not only exciting hope, but making one abound in real naefulneaa, ia falae But the religion of Chriat not only appeala to that which ia moat rationid in man, but also to what ia daepaat in Ua apiritaai natara, fumiahing not only reaaona for hia faith, bat alao Ho-tivaa to inaotioal aooonnt aa high and deep and broad aa to the tore of Chiat

Autliorltlea on the Meaning of the Word Bapttee.

Webster.—Greek B—to baptise; from B—to dip in water.

Worceater.—Gr. B—to dip or merge. Baptiatery, a bathing place and bap-tismal font

Century Dictionary,—Gr. B—dip or plunge in or under water; sink (a ship); drench, soak, draw (wine) by dipping with a cup. A aaGjrament of tbe Christian church, instituted by Christ, consisting in the immersion of the person in water.

Stommouth's English Dictionary.— Baptism, from Gr. I dip, I submerge; from bapto, I dip in water. • American Cyclopwlia.— Baptism, Gr. B—from frequentative of—to dip.

Ency. Brittannica.—The word is derived from (Gr.) the frequentative form of (Gr.) to dip, or wash, which is the form used in the New Testa-ment when the sacrament is described. The usual mode of performing the ceremony was by immersion. * * * But the practice of baptism by sprink-Ung, came gradually, in spite of op-posing councils. The custom was to immerse three times. The mode in the eariy English church was triple immersion, after single immersion.

People's Cyclo. — Baptism. (Gr. bapto, to dip or wash). One of the eacramenta of the Christian church, deriving ita name from the outward rite of washing with water, which forms an essential part of it.

Brand's Ency .—Baptism. Gr. I dip. Library of Universal Knowledge.—

Baptism. Gr. bapto, to dip or wash, or, to stain with a Uquid.

International Cy.-r Baptism. Gr. bapto, to dip or wash, or stain with Uquid. One of the aacraments of the Chriatian church, deriving ita name from the outward rite of washing with water. • • • It is, however, undisputed that in the prioiitive church, the ordinance of baptism was by immersion, in order to which bap tisteries began to be erected in the third century. And the sexes were usuaUy baptized apart But baptism was administered to sick persons by sprinkling; although doubta as to the complete efficacy of this course (sick baptism), were evidentiy prevalent in the time of Cyprian, third century.

Johnson's Universal Cyclo.—Bap-tism. Latin baptisma. Gr.—to dip.

Cyclo. Biblical Literature.—Infant baptism was established neither by Christ nor the apoaUee. * * * It ia evident that it waa only meant for thoee who were capable of comp^ bending the word i>rsaohed, and of being converted to Christ by an act of their own will.

Ency. ReUgious Knowledge.—Bap-tisterim began to be erected probably in the time of Constantine. * * * Baptistery of Florence—sUruoture about 100 feet in diameter. In tha center of theae buUdinga ia a font * * « That at Bavenna being abont nine feet square; and that of Latoran at Home thirty-seven inches or mora in depth. .

Enoy. Brit —Baptistery, in the Greek church was a haU or chapel in nThioh cateohumena were inatraotad. In thia apartment the principal ob-ject was a font in which thoaa to be baptiasd were immeraed thrice. Bap-tistariaa weie buUt to oorract the evila arising from private baptism. Aa aoon aa Chriatianity made auch png-rssa, th«i infant baptiim bacama the rale. As aoon aa immersion gate

place to aprinkUng, the andent Bap-tiateriea ware,no longer nacaaaary. They are stiU in general naa in Flor-ence and Pisa. S,

Meglected.'l>aUeB. Much of the beauty and affect loat

by the failure on the part of Baptiat churchea to carry out the divine hi-junction, "Go teach aU nationa," eto., is from tbe fact that we utterly faU to obey the order aa given by eur Savior. Now we teach very weU, but after teaching we lose very nearly aU by neglecting to baptizt at once Uiose whoopenly make professiona of Christ, and are by the church accorded Chria-tian fellowship. Never in the history of the candidate is he or she in so good a condition of mind and apirit as at the time of conversion, while the soul is ovetfiawing with love to God a=d Christian people. And, fur-thermore, the unconverted are more or less impressed by the preaching of tha Word; and just then if the ordi-nance ia solemnly administered it wUi-have in many cases a lasting effect for good.

We have to refer to the divine rec-ord only to find the apoatoUc aaage, viz., Penteooet, Eunach'a, JaUar'a, Lydia'a and Paul'a baptism. There can be no good or auffident raaaon for delay. But by precept and ex-ample there is every reaaon that tha ordinance of baptiam ahould by aU means be administered at once.

Again, It ia a crying shame that, iu the face of a poaitive command to de-clare the whole counsel of God, bap-tism haa been left out by many as a doctrine to be preached and obaerved by our churches. Now I have been a regular attendant atpreadiing of aU tbe leading denominationa for a period of t^n months, and I most say I have not heard one word aa to what was required of the unconverted fur-ther than repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ; not a word aa to obeying the command," be baptizBd." How ahaU we reconoUe Uiia with the commiasion which aays: Go teach aU nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, teaching them to obaerva aU thhiga whateoever I have commanded you," eto.

CORRESPONDENCE

East TenueMoe Notes.

I will again let you bear from John-•on County and oootiguoua parts.

District and county elections are absorbing the attention of the people to some extent. They are busy at their farm work, and enjoying the health natural to life in these beauti-ful mountains, but amid all this they find Ume to attend church.

At the last meeting of the church at Mountain City, we had the pleas-ure of listening to an interesting ser-mon on Sunday by Bro. Glenn of Hendersonville, N. C„ who was visit-ing relativee in the town. A large congregation was present.

On Friday before the second Sun day in July I started to my regular appointment at Pine Grove Church where large and attentive audienoee attended the worship Saturday and Sunday. I then went across the line into Watauga, N. C,, and preached at B ^ e l Church Sunday night. While in the vicinity of this church I spent a few very pleasant hours with Elder A. C. Farthing, ex-pastor of both the above named churches, preaching to the former twelve years, and to the latter nearly all his minis-terial life, which has covered a period of about forty-fouryears,during which time he has been actively engaged in the cause of declaring the glorious gospel. During his ministry he has been pastor of about sixteen church-es, but his labors are almost over, and gray locks indicate that he must soon pan through the "gateway of the grave" and answer to his name at the *< roU call of eternity." But whUe his futhful services rendered to God and his people ate closing, his son, Bev. J. H. Farthing, is taking up the cross where he is laying it down. The lat-ter has been preaching for a number of yens, and is now preaching to four churches. I spent sometime in the community, most of which I passed at the residence of Bev. C. 8. Farth-ing, who is also doing a noble work in the gospel ministiy. l.

On the morning of July 12th a number of us crossed the mountain to Cove Creek Chaveh to hear a pub-Uo debate between Bev. J. J. L. Sher-wood (Baptist) and Bev. A. J. Burrus (Methodist). The'first proposition was: Beaolved, That penitent sin-ners and infanta are proper subjects of baptism. Bonus affirmed in a speech of one hour. HewasfoUowed \if Sherwood In a speech of the same lanftth, which was composed of sound, weightjt soriptnral arguments which the world could not overturn, and whioh pictured vividly to the people the hoRonandocmptionotthe pony, feeble plea In favor of the affirmative. Each one had • leply of forty-five minntes, the rsaults of which were about the Mune. Next day at 9:80 a. m. w* went to Hsnson'a Chapel, one mile above Oaf Creek Churdi, to hear the same men discuss the follow-ing propodtion: Beaolved, That im-mersion is the only true mode of bap-tism. Sherwood affirmed in a plain, foroible ipeedi drawn from God's Wad. Boms denied in • speech of aw hour, in which he had the benefit of aid bom a number of drouit riders who eat in the polpit and took n ^ after Bio. Sherwood; bat with his own information, oomUned with that of Ilia fanUuw-pnMotiimt into op-

eration by an excellent jgift for twist-ing and dodging, he was not able to make a single plain, pointed argu-ment from the Bible against the af-firmative. The whole tendency of his speech was to mystify and darken the subject; and he finally confeesed that he knew not whi4 was the cor-rect mode of baptism. Bro. Sher-wood showed beyond the shadow of a doubt that immersion is the only true mode of baptism. After the vMt au-dience was quietly dismissed, leaving Bro. Burrue and his crowd of preach-ers in charge (who made one think of Nebuchadnezzar, his magicians, as-trologers and soothsayers), they pro-ceeded to sprinkle some infants. But they did not, as they aimed to db, compel the Baptists to witness the scene, for after the first day's discus-sion they saw their arguments could not stand the test, and that night they hunted up all the infants they could get to sprinkle and declared they would make us witness it, but they found we would not witneer it and dismissed the audience. The discus sion was confined to the Bible, with-out the aid of history, or even a Greek lexicon. This is a grand victory over error in that part. It has drawn the lines much plainer between Baptists and Methodists. The Baptists, both preachers and lay members, are de-termined to contend more eameetly for the faith, and some of the Meth-odists have said that it has thrown them back ten years.

In this defense of Baptist principles Bro. Sherwood did honor to himself, to the church and to God. After the debate, by requeet of Bro. Sherwood, I ramained and preached to his con gregation Saturday and Sunday at Cove Creek. Then Sunday evening we went to Boone, the county seat of Watauga, and preached at night Monday morning we drove over beautifully graded turn-pike to Blow-ing Bock, where we had the pleasure of looking at some very fine mountain scenery. Tueeday I caqe to Allen-town. To-night father and I wil commence a nM^efat Bethel Church. Johnson County. We ask the earn-est prayers for this section of coun t iy. E . H . HIOKS.

Don*t Growl.

Dear Bro. Folk;—The enemy of al good still entraps good men and uses them to injure and hinder the prog-ress of the gospel of our Lord. Satan has poured the growl of "To whai purpose is this wasteT" into the ink of some of our preachen and editors, and they seem to be willing to use it; though they do more Injury in one article or editorial than they can re-pair in years. Seeing that goo^ brethren have been caught by the en emy, it behooves us, brother editor, who are younger and of less experi ence, to watoh. Tour words of vrarn-ing and entreaty to these our breth-ren are timely. May the Lord use them to defeat the enemy of miaslons and ohnroh devdopment.

One thing I have notioed In my short expolenoe In ohnroh and mis-sion operations, namdy, that the peo-ple who are most l e a ^ to objeot to plans and maaaoiM In ohnroh woric and mission operations are usually the peopl* who do litUa alae than o ^ ject 1 have had some fears that brstbren who have sa«di glib pens on "HM BoHdi u d thalr n f m a m

liave never yet impoverished them-selvee in giving through Boards or otherwiee. It would oome with bet-«r grace from brethren who have leen doing more than is now known

to have been done. Until one Inoth-er, or ton brethren, or even one hun-dred brethren give, or ooUect vrithout charges, and send forth a missionary —well, until then, the voice of the grumbler will appear as the finger Jiat always pointa and never goee.

I have been thinking what a lone-some column of statistics the annual contributions of theee brethren would make. The statistical column might astonish, however, and ehow that the baetowal of their contributions have been liberal. I shall be glad to pre-pare a statistical table, giving naq)ee and amounte of contribuUons of all Board objectora and expenee grum-blers, Please eend in your names, brethren, and statement of amounts. Tou are not afraid for your right hand to know what your left hand has been doing. Tell us what you are do-ing, and we ehall know better why you talk and write. While the names are coming in, nmemlier this, that it costs nearly as much to run a fifty acre farm that produces seven bush-els of wheat per acre as one that pro-duces forty-iwo bushels per acre. The same is true of a saw-mill, a shop, a printing establishment, or a Mission Board. What would you do, kill off the stock and burn up the plows, or improve the landT Would yon sell off the tools from the' shop or work moret Would you sell part of your printing outfit or increaee the circula tion of your paperT Would you cut down the expense of your Mission Board or strive to be a party to the increase of its receipts!

The best statistics that I can gath-er in Tennessee for its Board and agency work for the fint year are as follows: Becelpts,fl4!74.56; expense of work, 1744.40, more than half the receipte. The growler would have said decrease expenses; that would mean retreat. But sanctified common sense and loyalty to Christ meant go forward and incream the receipts, and so they did. What a n the re-sults? Last year the receipts were $6,760.60; the expense, <2,21851; the additions to the churchee, 1,014; con-versions and general good tabulated in eternity. Still we hear thei grow-ler croaking, "To what purpose is thie wast«1" Granting that it is a imte, how much l id you loe^ broth-er T If iou believe, the Boards a n too expensive in their operations, why not write to the'Board instead of an open letter to the worldt Why do yon roll a oart for the devil in order to get a sheet of sand-paper to the Boardy

Youra for mon work and less growl. W. 0 . OOLOCM.

He will enter the Seminaiy in October. Bro. Norris is a good preacher now, but he thinke that by taking a Senunaiy course he will be able to do better work for the Master. Hue is the eee-ond young man that has gone from this church to the Seminaiy. Bra Lucado went from here. He is now in San Antonio, Tsxas. Our prayera will follow both of theee men wh«^ ever they go.

Franklin, Tenn. —Three weeks ago the Butledge

Fdls churoh called a presbytery for the purpose of ordaining Bro. Lawson Bolee. The candidate was examined on Saturday and the sermon was preached on Sunday at 1 o'clock, after which came " the laying on o~ hands " and the usual servioee. Bro. Bolee has been in the Seminary this past year. He is a young man with remarkable common sense, and I be-lieve he will make his mark in the world.

MlMtonno' Day in the Sunday-schools.

"When I was a child, I spake as a child, I underatood as a child, I thought as a child." So says the great apostle. And I imagine he could have added, "and did what I had to do in childish ways, along the line of my childish thought."

Blrased are those who, haring to deal with children, even in religious matters, recognize the child thought and deal with them along its lines. I have a little five-year old girl at home who is remarkably familiar with the stories of Adam, Noah, Abraham^ Hoeee, Joaeph and other Old Testa-ment characters. She not only knows the facta of their lives, but can draw from them tome of the lessons which lie hid in them. Yet she has never been held down to listieniiig to ac-counta of their lives as recorded in the Bible. She would go to sleep over these. They have been told her in "s tory" form, as suited to the child mind, and the child mind has taken them in. I should not tell them so to a man.

We have missionary sermonp, ad-dressMi, articles, even days, for grown peop^ Every thing ia prepared for the ^ w n people, and the children ars but little interested. The fodder is too high for tho colta to reach. Child minds a n not provided for and child interest is not sought, so the children often think missionary serv> ices very dry and dul l Why not have* a missionary service for the children? Why not have the missionary facta and figures, aye, missionary motives, put in form and shape that will inter-eat the children, take hold of their minda and hearta and make them helpera in the great mlMrionary causet Why a missionary meeting for the grown people and none for the chil-drant The Christian world ia reo(«-oiling the value of child interest and child h d p in the work of missions, and all denominations ara providing missionai^ servicea for them. I am glad that Southern Ba^itists are not going to lag behind in thif matter. Wa ara going to intereat, Instruct, and win as helpera our children.

Laat year tha Woman'a Missionary

Union, at the request of the Boards, a r r a n t for a "Missionary Day," which proved quite suocessful-so much so that the Boards have decid-ed to repeat it this year. It has been thought best, however, that thu mat-ter should be in the hands of the Sun-day-school Board, and the Home and Foreign Boards have so requested, the Woman's Missionary Union heart-ily coneurribg. The Convention en-dorsed the agreement, end so the Sunday school Bbard hai undertaken to prepare for it. The fifth Sunday in September has been selected as the day, and a neat and attractive program has been prepared. The programs will be furnished free to all schools which will ubb it and take a collection for missions. The contri-butions are to go to Home and For-eign Missions, but it is desired that they shall all be sent to the Sunday-school Board, so that we may know just what the schools do. If our superinteodents and teachers will take hold of this matter and encourage the children, this " Missionary Day " may be made a power for good in our mission work.

For programs, cards, etc., address the Baptist Sunday-school Board, Nashville, Tenn., and they will bo promptly forwarded.

Mission collections for the mouth of July, 1891:

ASSOCIATION. P h

Endorsccl.

That article of Bro. A. J. Barton on "No Collections" at Associations, needs no endorsement, for it is strong enough to stand alone, and yet I crave the privilege of eubscribing to the same. That time haa passed when our great denominational interests could be sustained by collections taken at Associations and churches, ^ e have out grown it. Half a dozen miasionariee might be sustain^ in this way, but half a hundred cannot. Even if they could, it were noti best. It places the burden on the few that should be borne by the many. "I would not that ye should be eased, and oth era burdened," wrote the Apostle to

I the Oentiles, referring to this matter of finances. Bro. Barton is correct. This work should be done by the churches, and not by the few messen gers who attend the Associations.

Let the Associations devise ways and means, place the facts and fig-urea before the brethren, educate the people to see and feel the iiecessities of the work, but let the work be done by the individual members at their churches. These collections at Asso-ciations would soon become so bur-densome as to break down the Asso ciations, and atill be insufficient for our demands. Let us organize. I ^ t each church work at home. Letua encourage every member of every church to contribute on the first day of every week to the great work o the' evangelization of all the woric and every creature.

The Treasurer's report wiU doae thia year September SOth inatead of October 15th, aa haratofore.

W . M. WOODCOCK, Treas.

—My firat meeting bffgan the thin Thuraday in July with my ohuroh a Lavinia. Tha maating raaultad in 20 converaiona,19 additiona to tha ohuroh and tha charch greatly mivad . Bio.

The strike has come and gone and the dear old home paper haa come again with its smiling face to cheer ua. Glad to greet you once more. We have no Baptist paper in Califor-nia, which is a great drawback to our cause. If some sound Baptist would come htra with means and tact who would teach our distinctive principles and start a good live Baptist paper, he would find a grand opening for such a paper. The whole State would be at his command. We havo the I'acifw Baptint at Portland, Ore, but it haa nothing very d.i«tinottive about it.

Please allow me to say to the many dear friends who have asked me to return and preach to the churohse of my boyhood days for a few months, that I can't come this fall. To others I would say there are many ministers biere without charges, owing to hard times. This is aa unfavorable time to come to California. Aa to school teachers, there are not a few. Not that there are no vjioant churchea and distitutioo, but a lack of means to support.

The union between Baptists and Campbellitef), so much talked of and so little understood, is like "the school boy's tale, gone glimmering through the past." It is like the mouse swallowing the elephant. One of their leaders said to the writer not long since: We will never unite till you Baptists give up close commun-ion." In reply I said that will never be.

I see many changes have taken place in the last twelve years. Many of my old friends have passed over the river of death. I send greetinga to all.

- O u r fifth Sabbath meeting con-vened with Center Church last Satur-day and Sabbath. The meeting was well attended. Of the 87 churches, 26 were represented; amount sent to the meeting $263, given by 748 persons; annual quota aaked of the churchee, S2,260; amount paid to date. Sl,6&0; balance due, $700. Seven churches have not given anything. Central Association haa 14 pastors and 18 non-pastoia; 9,800 miles traveled by railroad to fill appointmenta for the year; DO families holding worship; 16 prayer meetings reported. The cause of tardineaa is tha Chriatian Ufa and misBionarxenterpriaee wa« charged to the lack of ahigheriypaof Chriatian-ity at home. Wa find a large propor-tion of our aged Chriatian man raying that they used to hold family worahip, but from aome cauaa have neglected it of lata yeani. Can any one teU whyl Our meeting waa a auooass from the atart—large crowda attend-ing, unbounded Chriatian hoapitality by the community.

The following churchea sent dele-gttea ^ repreaent them in the meet-ing: Bioeville, Smyrna, Shiloh, Hi-wasse, Eaatanallee, Bethaaida, Good Spring, Mt. Harmony, Union Grove No. I, Calhoun, New Hopewell, Cog Hill, Little Hopewell, Holly Springs. The Chairman called the body to or-der promptiy at 10 a. m. An hour was spent in sweet devotional wor-ship. interaperaed with songs, prayers and rich Christian experiences. This was followed by a most interesting and very able discourse on the Church by Rev. C. Denton. The criticisms that followed left the sermon stand-ing like a atone wall.

Bro. S. A. Rose was elected Secre-tsry. The Chairman then invited visiting brethren to seats in the body and the following responded: Revs. B. A. Taylor and C. Culverhousa of SweetwMer Asnocintion, Rev. Lucius Robertson of Chattanooga and Hon. J. P. Freeman of Georgia. Thanks are due these brethren for valuable services in keeping the discussion on a high plane.

The preaching at 11 a. m. and at night waa well received. Dr. N.'B. Goforth's aermon on Saturday was able and interesting, and that of Rev. Lucius Robertson on Sunday was equally so. The preaching at night by our younger preachers. Brethren Ledford, Mincey, Townsend, Burnett and Billingsley, bad the old-time gos-pel ring.

The discussions from beginning to end were of a high order. While the church-house is one of the largest in the Association, the capacity was en-tirely too small for the large congre-gations on Saturday and Sunday.

Many thanks are due Bro. Land and his well instructed choir of young men and young ladies, with the assist-ance of Bro. L. C. Hale, who has a fine voice and a thorough musician for many aweet and cheering songs

The good sisters with well filled baskets spread a bountiful repast each day on tablaa improvised for the oc caaion. T ^ hoapitality and liberal-ity of the brethren toward the large delegation will be remembered. ' The Sunday-achool of thia church subscribed $5 for State Miesions. The church will raise $5 more for the As sociation, which meete Sept. 18th, and we raiaed $467, which was for-warded to Bro. W. M. Woodcock.

The next fifth Sunday meeting wil convene with New Hopewell Church four milea Northweat of Riceville.

After a reaolution of thanks for the kind and generoua Chriatian hospital-ity of the brethren at Roger'a Creek Church, the parting hand waa given, and with many expressiona of endear-ment the fifth Sunday meeting «f oU Eaatanallee AasdciatiDh haa passed away, but the aolid work it did wi never die..

The people in that division take a lively interest in mission work and a pride in their record on that aubject.

Of the eight churchea in the divis-ion six were represented by their paa-tora and othera. Every resident pas-tor in the division waa present on Sat-utday, one of them having suspended a revival meeting in his church for one day in order to be present This is in such unpleasant contrast with two other fifth Sunday meetinga I have attended thia year, at which not a single pastor waa present.

Bro. Whitfield, Chairman of the Division, had the meeting well in hand, and as a missionary and devo-tional meeting it was a great success The program was carried out in full, I believe, the disoussions having b«en carried on by brethren Weaver, Bur-nett, Barnes, Jackson, Boone, Whit-field, Bray, Cox of Kentucky, Gribble of Lebanon, Tumley and probably others. But I did not take notes and may have omitted some.

Bro. Boone's sermon on Sunday on ' Religion in the Home" was intense-ly practical and made a profound im pression on the audience. I am sorry that space does not allow me to give a brief synopsis. I must say, though that he said that he had noticed tha as a rule he alwaya found the B a p t i s t AND R k f l e c t o b iu the homes of the amilies of his church that appeared

to be most devoted to their work aa Christians. I have not attempted to ( uote the remark literally, but hope

have given the thought. A remarkable feature of the meet-

ing was that there was no collection taken, and stranger still, I did not wish to take any; and yet I brought away more money than I usually do from such meetings. Four of the churches had already taken their col-ectiona and were ready to pay it over

to the Secretary of the meeting, and another sent word that their collec-tion would be remitted to the Con-vention Treasurer on Monday follow-jng the meeting. What a pity that those paators who never attend fifth Sunday meetings, and whose church-es never give anything lor missions could not have been present!

On Wednesday evening, Thursday morning and afternoon and Thuraday evening the graduates ot the Colleges of Science and Liberal Arts delivered their orations, the degrees were con-ferred and the classes were addressed by the Hon.

Huntingdon is proud of her Uni-versity, and haa done and ia doing a great deal towards making it theauc-oess it is.

SnggaaUve ma-terial was arranged ao aa to illuatrate the travel of the young preacher from the cradle to the pulpit.- Firat, there waa a child'a crib all decorated wiUi the lovelieat of box flowera, andjuat above it waa a turning plow, a bun-dle of wheat and a reap hook. Above these waa a pulpit atand with open Bible, and atill above thia waa a crown all bedecked with glittering atars. I t waa all very auggeative. One would naturally get the impiea-aion that the young man had been tenderly cared tor in early childhood, and that he came up through the farm, was now an honored miniater ot the gospel, and was earnestly striv-ing for hia reward, which Is a crown of life reserved in heaven for him It waa also suggestive to notice that among auch beautiful and fragrant flowera there were aome rugged thorna, and beeide the golden ahmf there were the implemente necesaary to the production ot a harveat; u id above all, there waa the aUning crown ready tor the faithful aervant. May the Lord make him faith-ful and useful in hia aervice, and all the rest of us as well, that we may each receive a crown when our work ia over and our labora are ended.

Dear Bro. Folk:—I write to tell ; rou about an ordination which I at

Soutlioni Nortiial University.

Dear Brother f-'o/Ar;—May I have space in your paper this week to say a few words in regard to the com mencement exercises of the Southern formal Uaiversity which extended from the 6th to the 12i.h of July. This is the third year of the institu-tion, and our commencement exer-cises have been splendid affairs each time. The last, however, was much superior to the others.

Passing by our business commence-ment on Friday evening, July 6th, and our students' re-union on the 7th, probably the first item that might be mentioned here is thecommenoemenf sermon on the evening of the 8th preached by Dr. G. A. Lofton, from the tfx ' , "Follow Me." We had al heard of Dr. Lofton, but few of ua had heard him. Our anticipation o ' an intellectual and apiritual feast were very high, and we were most agree-ably disappointed in having them raiaeJ atill higher. Dr. Lofton ia in-deed a princely man and a true Bap-tiat; Theclaaatowhomliepreadiad waa o o m p ( ^ ot twantr-nlne ladfaN and gentleman, twenty of whom took

ended at Auburn, Ind , June 29th. Jo answer to a call ot ti^e church, I met in council with five other minis-ers and aeveral delegates and exam-ned R«v. F. W. Hart, and found him

called and qualified for the full work ot the goepel ministry. The church being satisfied with the examination, ,hey authorized us to proceed with the oidination. The aermon waa preached by Bev. S. A. Northrop, the most popular Baptiat pastor in thia end ot the State. The ordination prayer waa then offered b j the wri-ter, the charge to the candidate waa given by Bev. H. Churchill, the charge to the church by Bev. S. H. Fletcher, welcomo into the miniatiy by Bev. A. J . Gage, and the benedic-tion by the candidate. It waa an im presaive aervice nil the way through and the young man did crisdit to himself and the chuich.

The church waa decorated with one of the most elaborate and auggeative designs that I have noticed anywhere. The pulpit and roatrum were covered

—The fifth Sunday meeting ot the Beech Biver Association, as hereto-fore announced, met with the ohuroh at Daiden. Ten churchea were rep-resented. The meeting waa organised by electing B. F . Bartlas, Chairman, and Prof. Fag, Secrotary. Bra A. J. Holt, State Miaaion Secretary, waa present and atimulated ua by hia warm, stiningwords. He completely won all hearte. If the plan preaent-ed by him for raising mission money is put into effect, and I Uiink it will be, it will surely bring good reaulta. The plan ia thia: Let the paator or some active member ot the church take a small blank book and aee every member ot the ohuroh and get them to aubacribe what they a n willing to give for miaaiona and than see that they give it. The aum of $7.45 was raiaed during the meeting. . A splen-did religioua feeUng pervaded the ooDgregation from atart to fiaiah. l l i e cloaingaemoea Sunday afternoon will long be remembered by all preaent. E v e r y heart waa filled to overflowing.

The next meeting will convene with the ohuroh at M t Gilead, fourteen mileB West of Lexington, on the Trontonroad. I t ia to b* hoped that . a large delegation' wiU be pnaen t Bro. Kimbro, Chairman ot the Execu-tive Board, waa gretUy miaaed, being confined at home wiUi a crippled hip. ' The young people atayedright with the meeting and a d d ^ p o o ^ t o intereat by their beautiful dnging.

Job Work.

The BArrtn AKD Emtcrou solicits orden for all kinds of job work, such aa the printing of minotee, tracts, droolara, cards, etc. We guarantee that the work will be done both as dieapfy and neatly as anrwhere in the aty. We should be glad to re-oeiTe yoar ordeis. COMPETITION OR CO-OPERA-

TION. Which of theae two qrstems

•hall we have in busineea? We now have the ayatem of competi-tion. Onr motto seems to be— ** Every man tax himself and the sheriff take the hindmoat" Each one works for himself, looks ont for his own interests, and cares noth-ing for the interests of others. He has got to make his own way through the world, and has to do it by his own efforts. Other peo-ple are not going to help him, and he doesn't propose to help other peopla That is the way he looks at things. ConseqnenUy the em-ployer will feel &at he is under no obligations to his employees. All the obligation which he feels is to himsielf, to get as much work ont of the employeM as possible, so as to make as much mon^ as pos-sible for himself. If he can get their wages cheaper, all right; and the cheaper the bettor—for him. If thqr band together and force him to give higher wages, he presumes tb^t he will have to do so, but he regrets it and he is going to take the first opportunity to out them down.

On the same principle in this ^ t s m the employees feel that they are under no special obliga-tions to the employer. He pays them the money by which they earn their living, but then thqr have to work for the mon^, and thqr bdiere that the work trhich thsy do is worth a good deal more mon^ than i h ^ get Thqr axe

going to obtain the highest wages possible, either as individuals or by banding together; and when they think that they can succeed in getting higher wages by making a strike for them, they are going to do so. They feel no special in-terest in the business of their em-ployer. It is none of their con-cern how he gets along. They have got to look out for them-selv^

This, 88 we said, is the system under which we are carrying on our business all over the country at present, and the result is jeal-ousy, discontent, strikes and blood-shed. Now what shall we do about it? Is there no remedy? Yes, a very simple one, though at the same time a radical one; and that is to change onr system of business entirely from a competi-tive to a co>operative basis. What is a co-operative system, do you ask? One in which the employer and the employees co-operate together, by which the employer puts his capital against the labor of the employees and in which they shore profits of the business upon some etjuitable basis which may be ^ e ^ upoiL This, you see, removes at once friction and es-trangement between employer and employee. Instead of each man trying to get all that he can for himself, without regard to the interests of anyone else, they will be co-partnert in business. Each will have a share of the profits and consequently each will feel a special interest in making a suc-cess of the business.

Is thb ideal? No. I t is thor-oughly practical The fact is, it is at the present time in success-ful operation in a number of fac-tories and other establishments in our land, and in each case those who are interested testify to the success of the plaiL In such cases strikes are unknown. Why should the laborers want to strike? They woold be injuring their own busi-ness by doing so. This system, we believe, is the best solution of the problem ^hich confronts ns as to the difficulties between capital and labor. The fact is, that this system is but a practical way of carrying ont the law of Christ—to bear one another's burdena When employer and employees become sharers of the profits of the busi-ness which they mutually carry on, then each will naturally feel a sympathy for the pther^and have an interest in the affairs of the other. Each will bear the other's burdens, and both will stand shoulder to shoulder in the work of achieving mutual prosperity. Then there wiU be no Mction between them and no conflicts, and strikes will have been relegated to the barbaric age, where they belong.

THE H0L8T0N ASSOCIATION. The Old Holston, as it is called,

is the oldest Association in Ten-nessee. It was organizeki in 1795. OoL E. H. Dungan, Clerk of the Association, has the minutes of the Association for every session from the beginning till now. At first they were simply written by hand and afterwards were very poorly printed, but he bos the complete record of each meeting. The ses-sion of the Association which met with the Fniladelphia Church near Jouesboro last week was ite 109th session. The Association includes a very rich section of country in Upper East Tennessee, and em-braces a number of strong country churches and the churches in the towns of Johnson City, Jonesboro, Greenville and others. There are forty churches altogether, with a membership of about 4,000. Four of these churches, however, were received into the Adsociation at its meeting last week. They had heretofore been affiliated with North Carolina, but decided very properly, we think, to connect themselves with an Association in Tennessee, as they are themselves in this State, and to do their work through that

We did not arrive on the grounds until just as they were about to adjourn on the afternoon of Thursday. We found the As-sociation organized by the election of Bev. J. H. Moore as Moderator, Col. R. H. Dungan as Clerk and R. A. Bayless as Treasurer. We noted the following ministers in attendance upon the meeting: Revs. J. H. Moore, A. Routh, R. M. Mnrrell, Jasper Howell, N. W. G. Baxter, Thos. Carroll, J. E. Smith, M. B. Upchurch, H. B. McLain, Jno. T. Hickman, M. F. Walker, J. W. Watson, W. A. Sams, J. E. Hicks, I. G. Murray. Besides these there were a num ber of prominent laymen, such as brethren T. H. Reeves, R. H. Dungan, J. K. P. Hall, E. H. Bachman, N. J. Phillips, R. A and L. S. Bayless, A. L. Morgan and others too numerous to mention. In addition to these, the following visitors were noted: Dr. R. R. Acree, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Knoxville; Prof. J. T. Henderson, President of the Car-, son and Newman College; Rev. W. Y. Quisenberry, Secretary of the Sunday-school and Colportage Board; Prof. Samuel Jones, Pres-ident of the Southwest Virginia Institute; W. A J. Moore, Knox-ville; Bro. Pope, the editor and perhaps others. The Association was very kind to the visiting breth-ren, giving them not only all the time t h ^ wanted, but sometimes more than they wanted, and at the close passing a resolution of thanks for their attendance. We felt, however, that thanks were due on the other side, and introduced resolution to that effect, which was unanimously adopts by the visit-ing brethren present The Also-oitttion gave fdenty of time to all

of onr interests, neither neglecting nor slighting any. All the objects were discussed fully and with earnestness and vigor. We only regretted that ProL Henderson did not have more time to speak upon the subject of education. He gen-erously yielded, however, part of his time to others, but what he did say was well said both upon that and other subjects. Bro. Quisen-berry made, as usual, a very earn-est speech upon the Snuday-school and Colportage Board, and received about $22 in cash for the work of that Board. Dr. Acree made two fine speeches upon For-eign Missions and Home Musions, and preached a very helpful ser-mon in the grove on Saturday. His visit was greatly enjoyed by the brethren of the Association. Why cannot others of our city pastors get out among the Associ-ations around them—not simply that of which they are members, but others also? It will do both them and their brethren good.

Other sermons were preached during the meeting by brethren Murrell, Pope, Q u i s e n b e r r y , Routh and the e»litor. The next meeting of the Association will be held at Union Church, near John-son City, on Thursday before the second Sunday in August, Rev. W. M. Vines to preach the intro-ductory sermon, Rev. W. A. Sams alternate.

The hospitality of the Philadel-phia Church and the community was of the most abundant kind. On Saturday there was an attend-ance estimated anywhere from a thousand to three or four thous-and people, and yet there seemed to be enough and to spare of the dinner on the grounds for every one, and after all of the thousands were fed, we are sure that there were more than twelve basketfuls of fragments taken up. We had quite a pleasant home with Mr. S. K. Barkley, together with brethren R. H. Dungan, N. J. Phillips and R. A Bayless. We enjoyed, also, spending a night at the home of Bro. A J. Campbell with ProL Henderson and others.

We greatly enjoyed our visit to the Holston Association. I t was quite a pleasure'to meet with the noble band of brethren there again, to look them in the face and clasp their hands, and to commune ifith them about matters in which we are mutually interested for the up-building of onr common Zion. If the Lord will, we hope to have the privilege of meeting with them again, not only the next year, but each succeeding y ^ .

THE GOSPEL ADVOCATE AND BOARDS.

And now the Gospel Advocate of this city, which is recognized Bs the organ of the Hardshell wing of the.Campbellites, is talk-ing abont the expenses of the Boards of the Southern Baptist Convention. Its purpose is to use these expenses as a club to beat the heads of the missionary wing among the CampbelHtes who insist upon carrying on their mission work through means of Boarda We had prepared our reply to Bro. Grime before the article in the Advocate was published, and while it is not exactly an answer to tho*Advocute, it will do for that, as the general arguments of the Advocate and of Bro. Grime are the same. (We are sure that Bro, Grime is sorry to be found in such company). Only one point we want to make in answer to the Advocate. We have not denied and shall not deny that there are expenses attached to the running of Boords. Sometimes the expen-ses may seem considerable, the per cent, depending not so much upon the amount of expenses, which is more or less fixed, as upon the amount of receipts. But the comparative expensive-ness of the Board system and the do-nothing system of the Advocate will be found to be greatly in favor of the Board system. While ite expenses may be some larger its receipts will be very considerably larger than under the Advocate system, where both expends and receipte are apt to be very small, if anything. I t is better, we be-lieve, to have $100,000 of receipts at an expense of $10,000 than $10,-000 of receipts at an expense of $1,000, assuming the receipte under the Advoade system to be as much as $10,000, which is a violent as-sumption. Generally they are nothing. But something is a tre-mendous advance over nothing, and so is $90,000 of net receipts over $9,999. Remember that it sometimes takes expenses to bring receipte, and when that is the case what business man will hesitate at the expenses? Shall the Lord's business be conducted with less business sense than man's? Will the Advocate please inform us how much it and ite people who think with it abont Boards raised last year forunissionB of all kinds? We want to say to the Advocaie, and we say it in aU kindness: If yon dbn»t want to do anything for missions yon need not. This is a free country. No one is going to compel yon to do sa We . leave that with yonr own conscience and yonrGod^ But we claim the same privilege for ourself which we ao-oord to that is, the privUege to do as we please along what we beUeve, in the light of the Bible, to be onr duty to God and to our fellow men. And if we choose to work through Boaifds as the bes > means for the aooomplishment o l hat duty, that is ont bonness, not

yodrs. We are willing to answer to God for our course. Just this let ns add: We would " rather be a dog and bay the moon," than a dog in the manger.

I long as she lived. She has now gone where old age never comes, but where she shall" bloom forevsr in immortal youth."

-P i . H. M. Wharton of Baltimore is quoted as saying at the recent meet-ing of the B. Y. P. U. A. in Toronto, Canada: " You may be bom a Meth-odise, or born a Presbyterian, or bom a Catholic—but you must be bom again in order to be a Baptist." And so it is.

—We were glad to see our friend LeOrand W. Jones. Esq, of Trenton, Tenn, in the office this week. He came as a sort of advance guard to the Democratic Oubematorial Con-vention which meete here upon Au-gust 15th; and also took occasion to pay a visit to his sister, Mm. A. J. Barton. He is one of the most con secrated and efficient laymen we have in this State.

—Secretary Quisenberry of the Sun day-school and Colportage Board hss engaged his younger brother, B. D Quisenberry, to act as colporter in the bounds of the Holston Associa-tion. Young Bro. Quisenberry was in attendance ilpon the meeting of the Association, and made quite a fa-vorable impression upon every one. He seems to have much of the Quis-enberry zeal in his make up, and we shall expect him to make quite a suc-cessful colporter. Certainly if he is anything like his brother he will do so

—We have recently had occasion to examine critically all of the literature of the Sunday-school Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, and we were very much impressed with ite excellence, both in ita mechanical exe cution and in the quality of ite matr ter. We are glad to know that the fact is being recognized by our South-era Baptist Sundw»obool* that they have as good literature of their own as can be found anywhere, and that they are showing their appreciation by the constantly increasing business of the Board.

—During the recent meeting of the B. Y, P. U. of A. in Toronto, Canada, he City Council planned to take the

whole delegation on a pleasure jaunt, buttheBaptista of Toronto kindly refused the courtesy on the ground that they could not consent to have public money spent on them. In connection with this fact it is stated thai the Jarvis^tieet Baptist Church, Toronto, recently sent $400 to the City Treasurer for taxes on their prop-erty, which under the law they were under no obligations to do. These facta show that our Toronto brethren have the genuine Baptist spirit.

—Many of our subscribers ate in arrears. We mean by "arrears" that the time to which they paid bas ex-pired, and that they are sUll getting the paper at our expense. The label on each paper or wrapper will show how this is. To such we send out statementa from time to time to re-mind them of their duty. Some have received several of these statementa without paying the least attention to them. Brethren, is that rightt Do notbeoflended,please,iI w»then send out accounta for collection to agenta. We will cheerfully await the conven-ience to pay of those in arrears who will signify their present inability and say when they will pay. ,

—During the five months that Bro. W. Y. Quisenberry has been Secre-tary of the Sunday-school and Col-portage Board he has succeeded in reducing the debt upon it from $1,100 to $500, while at the same time he has more than doubled the number of coiportars in the field. This is a fine showing. This has been done mostly, however, by his own personal efforts. Wherever he has gone he has received money for his work, and usually mote than he asked for, but there have not been the regular con-tributions to the Board which he would like to have had. He says he fears that there is a disposiUon to neglect the youngest of our Boards, and begs that you will hear and heed the cry of the little baby which ap-peals to you for your sympathy and support.

—Wo notice that a number of writ-ers ate using the Sxpiession "in the circumstances " insteadof " underthe circumstances," which is generally used by people. Technically they ate correct. Your circumstences mean the things that surround you, and you are »n your surroundings instead of under them, as a rule; but some-times the surroundings may be so great as not only to be around you, but all about and above you, and to over-whelm you and weigh you down. And in this case it would be proper, we think, to say "under the circum-stances." The difference then be-tween the twoexpessions, "in thedr-cumstances" and "under the dtcum-stanoes," would be simply this: when-ever circumstanoes are not very im-portant, you would say "in," but whenever they are very great and overwhelming, it would be proper to use "under."

We sympathise,very greatly with his noble wife and his swsst littis cW-dren, who ars thusdeprived of a hus-band's and a father's love. May God blM them snd comfort them ss only he can comfort.

—We were sorry to leam of the death on Julj Slst of Mrs. M. H. Stn-srt of Eurekaton, Tenn., a member of old Harmony Church, in Haywood County. She was bom in the year 1800, and was consequently nearly 94 years of sg* For a long time she has been caUed by every one « Grand ma Stuart."

- W e legwt very deeply to leam of the death at Chattanooga on Au-gust 5th of Dr. J. P. 0. Walker of Dyersburg, Tenn., a deacon of the First Baptist Church of that place. Dr. Walker was a fine physician, a I strong Baptist and a most excellent man. With his posiUve. earnest na-ture, he made some enemies, but he also made many friends who wsre warmly attached to Um. L a s t ^ -uary, a year ago, he was taken with grip, which settled upon his lungs and wsultedinconsumption.

—On our way to the Holston Asso-ciation last week we were vsiy glad to meet Bro. B. L. Motley, of Cleve-land, at the depot for a short while. Ha was looking quite weU and seemed to be happy in bis work. Be has a good field and U filling it nobly. His church has devebped very conrider-ably in UberaUty, eepeoiaUy, since he took charge a few montha ago, which waa due not to a want of liberality before, but simply to system which he has introduced into the church work. We are persuaded that the reason why our Baptist people here in Tennemee do not contribute mors

i to all of our denominational interesta is not because of sUngineas on their part, or even to a lack of information, so much as it is to a lack of opportu-nity to give-that is, to the lack sys-tem in their church work. Oive them that system and they will contribute far mote for the Master's work, just as they have done in Clevefamd, and

I in other churches where some system of benevolence was introduced.

—One of the most remarkable nun-isters we have in the State is Bev. A. Bouth of Piney Flats, Tenn., whom we had the pleasure of meeting attiie Holston Association. He is 76 years old, haa been married three times, and has twenty-nine children, nine-teen of whom are still living. He has been preaching forty-six years, and says that he still loves to preach tiis gospel as well m he ever did. He preaches with much eamesUess and vigor, and the people love to hear him. But for his deafness, be does not show any special signs of age. We hope thlit he may be spared many more years to preach tiie gospel along the mountains and in the valleys of East T^essee. It wss a fitting close to the Holston Association, that, through the eiforte of Bro. Qoissn-berty, a handsome Bible should be presented to him by members of the Association. The presentation speech was made by Prof. Hendets^, to which Bro. Bouth made a fitting re-sponse.

—Our friend Atha T. Jamison formerly of Murfisesboro, but who has for the past nine yests been ssc-retary of tbe Y. M. 0. A. of Ohariss ton, S. 0., has, after fuU eooaldsia. tion, decided to study for the minis-tiy, and will enter the SouOieni Bap-tist Theologioal Seminaiy at Louis-viUe the first of October, having ^ signed his porition as sectetary of the Y.

VICTOB 18 A PEOUUAB BOY. After the chUdreix were asleep

Mr. Lawrence and his wife con-cluded that Viotoi was conquered at lart, and now there were hopes of developing the boy in him.

"But I am sorry," " i d his fath-er, " I gave way to passion m cor-iectinghimto.day. He is so gen-tie, so like a g i r l l ought not to have struck him. I hope I mU never have occasion to strike him again. I t might crush the very spirit I wish to develop in him.

"Sewing up his pockets hurt him more tiian the blow," said the mother.

" I have been thinking of that. That made him angry, and the^ Bible warns parents not to p r ^ Toke thdr chUdren to anger, lest t h ^ bediwJouraged. I will open his pockets now."

And Mr. Lawrence removed the •titches Victor had tremblingly made. As he did so he noticed the evennesB of vhe work, and was rorpriwd at his bey's ^ 1 1 with a needleu

"Wife, I believe that boy can sew as well as you. See here, ^ h stitch is of even length. He is a peculiar boy—more of a girl than

"That is so, and you onp;ht to tieat him as you do your other g i rk"

"What do you mean? That I should let you correct him as I do with the g i r l s r

"Tea, until he becomes more like the other btqrs."

"Don't you think I ought to have punished him to-day about the nails and screws and buckles and buttons?"

"Tea, but I would not have sewed up his pockete."

" W d l ; I kave opened them SOW

"Tea, but Victor is angry at yon, and opening his pooketo wiU no pnt him in a good humor. He is afraid of you and will avoid you. I aufljeot you hav» lost now all you had gained of his oonfideuce the last mrath."

" I will put hia knife in his pock-et. Perhaps that will please him, and repair some of the injury of myndrtaka" -

Mr. Lawrence did not aleep weU that night He had come to that period of life when agitation of bia nervea during the day caused him to sleep fitfuly. He tossed

therefore upon his bed and rose at dawn unrefreshed by sleep, and very nervous.

At the breakfast table Victor did not appear with the of the children. His father called him and made him take his place at hw right hand. Victor was thorougi-ly cowed and was sileni Mr. Lawrence felt the strained reli^ tions as much as Victor did, and studied his words, lest he should add to his mistake of the day be-fore. He decided to leave the boy with his mother that day, because Mary was not well and she clun to Victor more than to her mother.

After breakfast Victor sat in the

I sm compelled to make brief work of our correspondence this week. Such a lot of intoresting matter has bccu-mulated on my hands, and I am aox-ious for you to have the benefit of it immediately. I feel sure you will find this an interesting number, one to be read thoughtfully, one that will promote your growth io grace. Do not skip a single paragraph, lest you lose your special message, and be sure to sing "Praise God" over our teeeipts, and do all in your power to help them grow constantly. You will see that Dr. Wiliingham has received our first payment on the debt of the Foreign Board. I want to follow it up with another very soon. Bead what the S toretary has to say to the Young South:

"Your kind favor received with en-closed 144 contribution from the Young South to assist in paying the debt of the Board. Many thanks to theml I feel that training these young hearts in the service of the Master is a most important work. The Young South la moulding those who will soon have to direct and car-ry on our work. I hope each one of these young helpers will be a foreign miMionary at heart. Some of them may go to the foreign fields to preach Christ Thwie who stay at home, I hope wiU be faithful, wherever their lot may bs cast. In helping to send the gospel,andthuspreachingthrough those whofdo go. I have been away from Tennessee nearly a year, but my heart clings to the loved ones there, and I am always glad to hear from the dear old State. 'With beat wish-es, yours fratemallj,

the ezprets wsgon brought me this morning. The foUowing letter will sipldn matters:

It is an extremely pretty quilt, niee-lly made and very serviceable. It Is mode of bright worsted pieces, in the style called "crazy," and ettabrold-ered in different aUtehes in colsred zephyr. It is lined with red and neat-ly finished. Now I want a purchaserl Who will buy iti WiU some one please do me the great favor of put ting a value on itt Write me by re-turn mail what such a quilt ought to be worth. I will be so much obliged, ai I have 110 experienoe in this line at all, and I do not want to let it go too cheap. The Young South is very grateful to the Morristown ladies. I hope their good works may incite you all to greater efforts. I shall be gUd to have you say what shall be done with this handsome contribution. If you think best, I shall turn it over to our dear young lady as soon as she receives her appointment. But the moths may put in their work mean-while. What do you say t I will put it away with camphor until you tell me what to do. I hope the mothers especially will respond promptly in this regard, and the Morristown ladies.

Here is a sweet little note from Mc-Kenzle:

" I am sorry to say my missionary hen allowed the heathen rats to de-vour all my chicks, but if you will send me a pyramid I will try to fill it during our protracted meeting. I will also send my birthday pennies. Very truly, Lilliak BuBDrtTs."

I send the pyramid, though there was no stamp enclosed.

And this from our little Memphis boy: j " It has taken me a long time to ^ t this money. I got some by selling eggs and chickens, some by running [errands for mamma, and seme was ' given me by a friend of papa's. I would like for it to go towards the debt. Your loving friend,

Lelahd Taylor." 1 How much we appreciate such dol-lars as this! Oh I for many more such little workers.

From Liberty, Miss., this came: " Enclosed find f I for the Young

South Missionary. I am sorry that I could not send it before. May God bless you in this new field of labor! With best wishes for the YoungSouth, I am A Fsiend." "

We aro most grateful to this un-known correspondent in Mississippi. May she (I guess it is a lady from the neat handwriting) live to do much more such work " in His name!"

Tinklel Tinklel Here'a another of Aunt Nora's bellsl This time it is from Nashville:

" Enclosed please find the conteute of my bell. I am very sorry it has taken me so long to fiU it, but 1 hoj^ it will not be too late to do some good. Very respectfully,

LII.UK G. Jackson." The infant classes are setting noble

examples these days. How I w ^ the older ones would pass a pyramid, or a barrel, or an envelope marked " Young South Mission Fund," every Sunday, coUecting even a few pen-nies at a time! But do not take a nickel from your Sunday achool col-lection. But to this letter:

" I have charge of the infant claas iu the Saulsbuiy Ohurch, and at my request each member has given one cent for each year of his or her life. Three gentlemen have done likewfaw, and I send the result. Ihopetohave mon another time. One of my boya

has fiUwl a.briok oaid for Cuba this year, and one of my girls one for the on>hans. Wishing the debt may soon be raised, and the Young Soutii great Bucoess, I remain your dstw In Christ,

(Mas.) G. W. Dowdt." How they abound In the work of

I the Lord I May our FaUter , bless them as abundanUy!

I have kept the very best news for the last I almost cried for very hap-pluMS (when you'get older you will understend that bettor) over this from my dear old home church at Shelhy-viUe:

" Enclosed you will find a check for TEN DOLLABS

from the' Earnest Workers.' It was promised for our missionary, but we wish it to go towards the debt We enjoy thecolumuB of the YoungSouth, rad we hope our own missionary will soon be ready to go to Japan. Your friend, Bbbwob jABBBLi.,Treas."

That is the Urgest single contribu-tion the Young South has received since I took charge. All honor to these dear "Earnest Worken!" I hope to hear soon how they earn their money. Will Miss Janrell, or some other member, not tell the Young 1 South about It! We are very grate-ful certainly. God be with you all I Most truly, .

A Great Uevlval.

We have just closed the mos^suc-ceesful meeting held in this town for years. The eervicee began the 18th of July and closed the 12th August.

The greater part of the preaching was done by Bro. L. A. Little Boonville, Miss. From the first ser-vice till the last there was a great spiritual power manifeet^. The meeting cloeed with as much interest as was manifeeted during any day ol its progress. From the first sermon to the last Bro. Little held the atten tion of large audiences with his pow-erful presentation of the gospel.

As a result of the meeting there were forty conversions and forty-five additions to the Baptist Church thirty-seven by baptism, two by ree-toration, and six by letter. We have increased our membership 33^ per cent.

The entire community has been reached and revived as small towns are seldom revived.

What were the causes that led to so great a success t

In the first place it was unitec Christian effort. When I came to the pastorate of our church the first o last Max apparently little religious feeling in the church, the brethren had been without a pastor so long that many seemed to be indif-ferent. This was more a seeming in-difference, however, than real, for I soon found, when I set to work to try to interest them, that they were willing to become interested. From the very first I told them we must do something to reach the unconverte< in our town, for unfortunately for us we are cursed here with a modern sanctified element, which by its ac-tions had succeeded in making most of the unconverted very indifferent as to religion. Upon this point the brethren agreed with me; in fact, we soon began to agree upon most points and as a result for at least one month before the services began at every service held we had special prayers for our meeting and its succees. We also invited the brethren of the other churches to unite with us in the sei^ vice, and help us in every way they could consistently do so. They also isd special prayer for the succees of

the meeting for several weeks before t began, and thus God'e people came together lor the salvation of the town.

In the next place the sucoess is due to the powsrwith which the gospel was preached, I have seldom heard so many sermons of such power from one man in a series of meetings, Bro. Little is a natural orator, and with his plsasing deliverr of the jmth he suoosedsd in naohing the ^Murts of the psopls from tha flist Mnnon. There are few men who can pvBsent the gospd with mors power. Thsrs ars none his age that can do so.

In tha next iiIaoe,.and abova all, thamsating was a snoosas bsoanaa

the Spirit of God was thsre. God never more truly revealed his power to any people than he did to us, There was no excitement in the ser-vices, but a deep, thoughtful interest that showed the presence of the Spirit. When I think of these three forcee working together in a revival it is no wonder to me that we had a revival, they will always produce one. We have had a great revival Now, brethren, pray for us that God may give us great hearts to do great thinge for him.

I am a Missunippian by rearing and education, but I am now an adopted Tenneeseean and I want to shake hands with the brethren of Tennessee through our paper.

Here is my hand, brethren. J.W.GILLON.

Milan, Tenn.,

From Oklalioiua,

Since I last wrote you the Lord has wonderfully bleesed the church at Tecumseh by the addition of about 60 membere, 84 of whom were baptized in the North Canadian river to-day by Bro. W. R. Chandler; also two were baptized by Bro.Geo. H. Mitchell, of the Shownee Church, making in all 36. At the same time and place, Bro. C. made a very forcible and appro-priate talk at the water's edge upon the subject of baptism, clearly defin-ing the Baptist position, which will no doifbt have good effect.

We have never seen such a crowd assembled anywhere to witneas bap-tism as was assembled on the banks of the North Canadian river to-day. They came from every direction in wagons, carriagee and buggiee, and then the cowboys were out in full force. The crowd was eetimated at from 1,800 to 2,000, many of whom came out through mere curiosity; and judging from expressions heani in the crowd, many were there who had never seen any one baptized. Such expreesions as "OhI that old gray-haired man is geing to be baptized." And" Oh t My I One man can't bap-tize all those people to day." But the old gray-haired man was baptized and came out of the water rejoicing, and all the rest of the 86 were baptized one at a time in just seventeen min-utes.

The church at Tecumseh is striving to build a house in which to worehip. We have it completed except ceiling, flooring and windows. With the aid promised we will have it'^done in the near future. The people in this opun-try are generally popr, and to build a church is no i mall itsm.

We are having quite a drouth, and he com crop will fall short fully one-lalf to two-thirds of a full crop,

uhough the drouth does not ssem to w injuring the cotton crop any. Nor s the com crop so badly in jorad where the land has been in cultivation for aome years and been wall ouIUvatad his year, but a great deal of tha new and which has not bean in ooltiva-

Mexican Uauclie.** Schools and Colleges Will Blake a Mistake if in making up their advertising schedule for

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

briefly mentioned. 1 . Nashville being the recognized Educational Center of tbe Soutb,

SMITH —I waa deeply pained at the announcement in the BAPTIST AND LERTEOTOA of June 21at of the death

of Bro. J. Henry Smith. I waa hia lastoi ten years, and during that time I never bad a more faithful lelper. He waa with me in quite a number of protracted meetings, and when I bad his help I needed no min-isterial aid. His prayera and exhor-tation^ were soul-stirring, showing a thorough acquaintance with the Book, and daily communion with God. He was one of the few who contributed to the support of the gospel beyond lis means. When his church called for hia preaence bia time waa not hia own. Like Stonewall Jackson, he

hadn't time for anything else."' He used the offios of deacon well, and gained to himself "A good stand-ing, and great boldneta in the faith which i a in Christ J eaus" I baptizsd hia wife and five of his children, including hia pieacher boy. How I do aympatbixa with the fam; ily—once ao happy* now ao sad. Biay God'a grace tuatain them. I would like to Bpeak of the many rMtfuldays I and uiy famUy spent at hisho«pita-ble home, but apace forbida. It waa our home, a home for all the prsach-•rs. 1 love Dr. H. W. Tribble, piss-ent pastor of the family, for the beau-tiful and just tribute to my much loved friend. May aU who read his worda about that "princsly spirit" resolve to imitate his devoUon to church and pastor.
