OBITUARY.
Died, at his residence in Hancock coun
ty, Ga., on the 18th of November, John
Maclellan, near the close of the GOtli year
of his age, after about six days severe stif- i
sering, which he bore with becoming ohris- j
tian fortitude.
He bad been for many years on efficient
deacon of the Baptist Church, and in all
the relations of life his exemplary deport
ment was truly worthy of imitation ; he was
the tender and affectionate husband and fa
ther; as a master, kind and humane with
out a superior; as a citizen, his honesty,
frankness and urbanity commanded the love
and respect of all who knew him.
In him the cause of benevolence over
found an advocate, whose liberality extended
to his ability, while he earnestly contended
for the faith which was once delivered to
the saints. He died in the triumphs of
faith. Blessed are the dead who die in ‘.lie
Lord. B. R.
Death of Rev. Archibald McArlliur.
At a meeting of the Baptist church of Ai
ken, held on Saturday the 16th day of No
vember, instant, the following preambleand i
resolutions were unanimously adopted, and j
a copy thereof ordered to he forwarded to
the Editor of the Christian Index for Pub
lication. 1,. HICKSON, Clk.
PREAMBLE.
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God j
to remove from among ns by death, our
much esteemed and beloved brother, the
Rev. Akciiiiiald McArthur, who for the
last three years has been u most faithful
member of this church, and whose exem
plary piety, unwavering faith, persevering
zeal, and unbounded love for the service of
his Ascended Master, so well qualified him
lor the sacred office which he tilled with so
much fidelity while living amongst us.—
Arid whereas, we feel desirous, while wc
would submissively bow to this afflicting
visitation of God, to manifest our respect
for the memory of our departed brother,
and to lender to his bereaved widow and
child ottr affectionate sympathies, he it
therefore.
Resolved. That the Baptist church of Ai
ken lias sustained in the death of the Rev.
Archibald McArthur, a serious loss, which
will long bu felt, and with difficulty he sup
plied—and that the remembrance of his pi
ous example, his godly instructions and his
untiring perseverance in every good woik,
still continues to urge us to the discharge of
those Christian duties which were so forci
bly taught and exemplified in his preaching
and life.
Resolved, That our deceased brother in
his anxious solicitude while living for the
welfare of this church, and Ins earnest de
ire to see promoted the spiritual growth of
its members, lias left us an example which
cannot he too highly appreciated, or too
closely followed, and that his removal from
our midst at this lime of spiritual languor,
should be heeded as an admonition to us to
live more faithful and devoted to the great
interests he so zealously labored to advance.
Resolved, That this church offers to the
bereaved widow and child of our departed
brother, its affectionate sympathies, and
confidently commits them to the heavenly
care and protection of Him who hath prom
ised to he a husband to the widow and a fa
ther to the fatherless.
Resolved, Thai as a token of respect for
the memory of our deceased friend and btn
ther, the rnetnbeis of this church will wear
for thirty days the usual badge of inourn
ing.
Resolved, That a copy of those proceed- \
ings he forwarded to the widow of the dc- j
ceased—and also to the Editor of the Chri- j
tian Index for publication.
Died recently, with scatlet fever, in the
town of Monroe, Walton county, Isabella
and Jonathan Cillky Prince, the only
children of Joseph and Lucinda A. Prince.
Jonathan Cilley, after an illness of 6 days,
died on the 13th instant, aged 3 years, 3
months and 13 days; and Isabella, after an
illness of 4 days, died on the 15th, aged 6
years, 2 months and 7. days. Their lather,
the Rev. Joseph Prince, after a very short
illness, had deceased a little more than 12
months previously. Thus, the disconso
late widow and bereaved mother, the only
remaining rtdict of the family, shorn sud- j
denty of the dearest earthly objects of her I
affections, is left alone, to mourn these me!- ;
ancholy dispensations of Divine Provi
dence. Hut she is not called to mourn as j
those who have no hope. The same dear
Saviour, who said, ‘‘stiller little children to j
come unto me and forbid them not, for of j
•uch is the kingdom of Heaven,” sustained
•Iso the hopes of the dying husband,
ho leaned bis head
And breathed his life out sweetly there.”
•And no doubt, he means those painful af
flictions to work out for ‘im who remains

The hst session ol the M esiorn
non. with which I am connected, was ‘ten
with the Plumb Grove Church, west j
the Colorado River. Eleven churches vve

gregations weie large, and the preaching of I
the Word, wc have reason to believe, was j
attended with the power of the Iloly Spir

unusually affected. Among others one by

the La Grange church, said he could not’

j daring his gratitude to his Heavenly Father.
who had ■ preserved him from imminent l
‘peril. Ho then stated that he was one of j
| the unfortunate La Grange military compa- j
: ny which, under the command of Capt. j
| Dawson, was marched to the neighborhood j
lof St Antonio to assist in repelling the in- ’
vasion of the Mexicans under Gen. Wpll,
|in 1842 ; that they were attacked by the
: main body of the Mexicans, and, with the
! exception of two who made their escape,
, and fifteen who were captured, they were
I all massacred. He remained nearly niine
| teen months in captivity. It is remarkable
I that during the past quarter, I had the priv
; ilege of baptizing one of brother Shaw’s
* companions in captivity—another of the
j ill-fated La Grange company. This was
lat a meeting I attended in Montgomery
! county. It was a son of Elder Morell, —
| When he presented himself as a candidate
j lor baptism he slated that whilst a prisoner’
jin the castle of Perote lie determined that,
if his life was spared he would embrace
the first opportunity ofuniting himself with
the people of Christ.
Besides attending my regular appoint
inents in Washington county, 1 have trav
elled and preached in many other parts of
the country. In several places which I
have visited the people are anxious to have
regular Baptist preaching, and in some of
them I found promising materials for the
organization of churches. The harvest
here, is, indeed great: and now, in the in
fancy of this Republic, the Ilorne Mission
Society, by furnishing us with more mis
sionaries would give to moral and religious
influences a power and effect which would
tell upon the interests of the nation for gen
erations to come.
Our efforts, to a limited extent, have been
directed towards Texas. We have em
ployed a few missionaries there for sever
al years past and they have been very suc
cessful. Through their instrumentality
large numbers have been turned from the
error of their ways; many churches have
been organized ; several ministers ordain
ed, and many rising villages and settle
ments, besides a great extent of farming let
rilory. have been supplied with preaching.
The denomination in that Republic compri
ses men of intelligence and influence, and
lemales of great refinement and deep pie
ty. It is in a flue slate of preparation to
receive tho instruction ol an enlightened,
faithful ministry, and in the enjoyment of
1 that blessing, would, speedily, acquire
j great strength and become extensively o*o
| fnl in moulding the character ol the Re
public.
The Society lias appointed several min
isteis to that field, who, for various reasons,
failed to occupy it. They are toady to ap
point others when suitable men are found,
and they trust that the time is not fat dis
tant when several, strong in ministerial
qualifications, will be there under the com.
mission ol the Society.
Notwithstanding the numerous embar
rassments experienced by that young na
tion, its population is increasing, its re
sources are being tapidly developed, its
prosperity is advancing, and its progress in
strength and power is encouraging to its
friends. Citizens of the United (Slates,
especially Christian citizens should not for
get its proximity to our own happy land;
nor should they overlook the necessity of
its inhabitants being sufficiently furnished
with evangelical privileges. The greater
part of them were hut lately, our country
men. They are still our acquaintances,
friends and brethren. Beyond them is a
powerful Roman Catholic, nation, who are
not only their enemies in war, hut who will,
from many motives, remain so, long after
the independence of the country is secured.
Protestant influences, therefore, must he
established there, anil they should he estab
lished now, while the people feel their de
pendence on them for their national preser
vation.
May the apostolical spirit lire the breasts
of many gifted ambassadors of Christ, and
impel them on to possess the land.

From lhe Religious Herald.
Rev. and Dear lira. Jlmory .‘-This mor
ning at an early hour I left home to attend
a religious discussion at the Brick chutc.h
in York county, called (!ration, between the
Rev. James B. L. Williams of the Metho.
dist E. church, and tfte Rev. John Curtis of
the Reformed Baptist church. 1 arrived
at the church between ten and eleven o’
clock, and had been there hut a few mo
ments before both of the Rev, gentlemen
applied to me to act as moderator. To
their united tequests I made some objec
tions, founded on my feeble state of health
and want of acquaintance with the rules
there. However, I waived, and called the
The heart of man is changed by the spir
it of God itself. Mr.. Williams affirms,
Jno. Curtis denies.” „ v
The Rev Mr. Curtis led off in a
strain of prefatory remarks, observing thft
the subjects he was about to bring to the
notice of the hearers were of more impor
tance, a thousand times than all the politi
cal questions now before the country —that
! all other subjects were as nothing in com-
I parison to the great and momentous snb

j then quoted from Micali and the other pro
i pliets, and got fully into the subject of
! faith. Just at this stage of dijs remarks,
he placed his hand on his stomach, and ob
served he felt very unwell, and feared he
should be unable to proceed with the dis
cussion. He. however, got through tfte
subject of faith, and was entering fully into
repentance, when he again slated he felt
sick, and wished some ofthe doctors would
do something fur him. Whereupon,
F. \X. Power, and his amialde and belov
ed wife, rushed into the pulpit, and admin
istered some preparation of mint. Seeing
he was a little revived, and I)r, Power leav
ing the stand. I suggested it was a ease of
Syncope, and proposed the administration
l of diffusible stimulants; nothing being so
i readily at hand as the spirits of
it was freely given;, his cravat was remfiJVj
ed, his collar taken off, his vest opened
and he vomited once frely ; we then threw Jj
up the large window of the church neaif!
the pulpit, removed him to get the benefit
of the cool air, and his pulse, which
all the time hobbling, became more regtiv
lar, his eyes wandered, and he alternately
drew up first one leg and then the other.-i
At this time I suggested the use of ethei;
and Dr. Power went in ah speed to his ci
lice and brought it. We poured_some in
his mouth, and rubfled the temples, aAI
held it to his nose, but all in vain. \*V

Baptism lty Pcdobaptists.
A writer in the Religious Herald elo ;‘s
a long at tide on the question recently le
citled hy the Dover Association-and wl ch
was noticed in our columns—as follows
Now, Bro. Editor, it is impossible, h jw
ever desirable, to amalgamate Bapljus
views of church building, ordinances, ike.,
with Pedohaptist. There has existed, !nd
still exists, a wide difference on this as Pell
as other vital points, and it must contutie
to exist, until all agree to lay nsidslhe
opinions of men, prayer books, confesians
oi faith, and books of discipline, &c., and
come to the last will and testament of.le
sus Christ, and take that, in connexion
with the old, and resolve to make it the
man of their counsel, This 1 never ex
pect to see on earth. In the final dec don
of the above subject before tho association,
the vole stood, as well as I recollect, |8 a
gainst receiving, and 10 for. I had no*vote
in that body ; I said nothing. Igo iilh
the decision, and until I am convinces by
stronger and more consistent teasopng
than I heard there, I shall use all my ftllu
ence in opposition to receiving person 1 } im
mersed by Pedobaptists, into the fellow
ship of Baptist -churches, without fcemg
baptized, for reasons which I will assign.
Ist. To sanction Pedohaptist immersion, i
is to place baptism upon a level with sntink
ling, pouring, and any other thingtheyjmav
see fit to adopt, thus allowing them to say
what is right, instead of being guided by
the plain word of God.
2. The spirit and manner in which it is
performed hy them. In the first place, they
all with few exceptions, tpteach against it,
i. e. immersion, ridicule it, make a mock of
and many other lhingf|
dobaptists to immerse for ns, why not al
low them to administer the Lord’s supper
for us, especially if such an one has been
immersed; and why not g o still further,
and invite all such to commune? This
would be mixed baptism as well as mixed
communion.
4. By receiving such. I place Pedobap
tist immersion, notwithstanding their oppo
sition to it, upon a level with thapperform
ed by a regular Baptist minister, duly au
thorized according to our views of the gos
pej.
I am opposed to it because it would
ce giving up ground which has been occu
pied by the Baptist denomination from the
(lays of John the Baptist, the first duly
qualified administrator, down to’tlie present
day. It involves one of our distinctive
eharacteiistics as a people, professing to
Hike Jesus for our king, and his laws for
our guide. Oui views of Christian baptism
.are known to all who wish to know them,
so are our views of church building, gov
ernment, &c. If any wish to learn how to
get into the Baptist < hurch, let them come
to a Baptist minister or church, and not go
to a Pedobaplist. If they prefer to be im
nlersed by Pedobaptists, let them be. and
remain there, and not try to disturb the
peace and harmony of the Baptist church
ftetby wishing to get in sideways.
0. Anti lastly, for the present I think it
j informal anti unscriptural. We ate requir
!ed to hold fast the form of sound words,
and also to remember the form of doctrine
j delivered to us. Now, however good or
■pious a Pedobaplist inay be, and however
correct he may be in oilier respects, we as
Baptists do regard him in error on the sub
ject ol baptism ; and therefore, to us he must
be an unqualified administrator. He may
be as truly qualified for the great work of
the minisliy as we are, and to administer
the ordinances lor his own church, and
those who go with him, but not for Baptist
churches.
A word in reference to the authority.—
While the Scriptures du not in so many
‘words, say what shall he the qualifications
‘of an administrator of the ordinances, they
do teach the qualifications requisite to en
tering the ministry ; and universal consent
has assigned to the ministry the right of ad
ministering the ordinances. Moreover,
the appointment of John the Baptist to the
work of baptizing, and the commission of
the Saviour to the Apostles, to preach and
baptize, show conclusively to the mind, that
some were to he set apart to that work.—
Can anyone believe that the church or con.
giegation as a body were commissioned to
preach and baptize? Surely not; and yet
the church was to bear a prominent part in
this matter. The ministry and the church
are not two distinct bodies, but both consti
tute the one body, of which Jesus Christ
is the head. The relation they- sustain to
each other makes them dependent on each
other, while both are equally dependent on
Christ. Each one’s-duty m clearly ma. k
ed out in the gospel The ministers are
‘he gifts of Christ to the church. He gave
some prophets, [some evan
gelists, and some pastors and teachers—
their work being specified, and also the du
ty of the church towards them—the great
design of which was, to glorify Godin
making known his will to mankind. With
all this before ns, we are gravely told, that
there is no authority in the Scriptures in
reference to who ii qualified, and what
constitutes a qualified administrator of bap
tism !
1 have already said more than I intended
on this subject. I have not done it with a
view of controversy, or with any unfriend
ly feelings towards those who may differ
from me, but witl*n hope io draw out abler
pens. If lam in the dark on this point, 1
wish to he set right. I have given my
own views, which may go for what they
are worth. I may say more at some futuie
day. Yours, &c.,

Overtaxing the Mind. —We may be
j here excused for recurring to the cause of
I Mr. Pinckney’s death, which has been of
’ such frequent occurrence among leading
! professional gentlemen of the bar, as to de
! serve the investigation of learned patholo-
S gists in general. At the conclusion ol a
| long and very powerful argument, he fell,
; apparently, lifeless, as if by an apoplectic
; stroke, was carried to his quarters insensi
j hie, and never spoke inlelhgibl v afterwards.
Mr. Harper followed soon after in a similar
way, at the Baltimore bar ; and General
Winder, also a distinguished advocate at
: the same bar. fell suddenly ami expired in
■ the midst of an argument. We have had
some instances in this city, in the persons
ofTliomas Addis Einmeitund James W’ells,
of a sudden termination of tlteii mortal ca
reer in the midst of their loftiest forensic ef
forts. I have witnessed, at a court, in my
native Slate, the ablest pleadei fall dead at
the conclusion of an animated and powerful
argument. Whetiiet these sudden deaths
are caused by the flow of blood to the arte
ries of the brain, by being stimulated with
high excitement of the cerebral argans, so
as to cause rupture—front collapse of the
heart or lungs, or from exhaustion—we
leave to the determination of the faculty,
merely relating a fact in pathology too re.
i markable to omit. Another fact nearly as
! remarkable—we never hear of such sudden
j disasters among the clergv. although their
mental and physical powers are equally
j tasked.— fiiogtaphy of John Randolph.
The writer of the above certainly could

or items of religious intelligence in com

in the last eighteen mouths, the sudden de
