GEORGIA BAPTIST CONVENTION.
Kind Words.
We are not over-anxious to blaze abroad
the good opinions which friends and patrons
have expressed in regard to the Index, but
for general encouragement we shall devote a
column or two of this number to the kind
words of our readers. We have worked day
and night to please them, and many of our
cares and toils are lightened by their gener
ous approbation.
We have no fears that the sister referred
to in the extract below, will ever want for
either a home or friends:
“ Enclosed are two dollars for the paper
for one year, to be sent to Miss . She
is a member of the Baptist Church, and sews
tor her living, but wants to devote this much
to good reading.”
An aged brother who has been distinguish
ed in civil life, and occupies a high position
in the church, writes:
“ I feel great solicitude for the prosperity
of the Index, and hope under brother Walk
er’s editorial care it will meet the wishes of
the denomination.”
We will do our best to cause the under
written hope to be realized :
“ I hope, my brother, you may sustain the
Index well, and I will use all my diligence to
sustain you.”
We certainly feel complimented by the un
der-written Avoids of a distinguished minister
of Christ:
“ There is no man living into whose hands
1 would have preferred the Index to pass.”
We assure our brother from South Caro-
Carolina, that we are a bona fide Baptist, and
trust that before the year lias closed avc shall
not be strangers to each other :
“ I have been a reader of the Index for
several years, and wish still to continue; and
though the editor is an entire stranger to me,
vet I discoA T er from his salutatory that it is
still to be a Baptist paper. That is sufficient
lor me. I love to read Baptist papers—that
advocate Baptist principles.”
We A\ r elcome our friend—a pastor in one
of our large cities—to our subscription list,
and thank him for the subjoined encourage
ment :
“ I am very glad indeed to notice the great
improvement w hich has taken place in the In
dex under your hitherto editorial manage
ment.”
We thank our brother tor his kind wishes.
The best way to make us happy is to help
move the Index along, Avhich w r e are sure he
will do:
“I wish a our (our) paper success in its
new location, and you much happiness in its
undertakings.”
The following extract from a good brother,
we think both sensible and generous:
“ Enclosed l send you two dollars for the
Index, as I have paid up thus far and conse
quently had no sleepless nights ov misgivings
on account of the suffering editor. I there
fore start with the year, by no means insensi
ble of the tact, that if we have a paper, some
body must advance money.”
Yes, brother, all we Avant is an increased
list of subscribers to make good what you
here sav:
“I am much pleased with the improved ap
pearance of the Index in every Avay. I hope
and believe that the acquisition to your list
may enable you to render the paper worthy
of the support of the Baptist denomination.”
Thank you, brother, for this encouraging
Avish:
“ May prosperity attend you in your edito
rial course.”
Such wishes, my brother, lighten our cares:
“ You have my best Avishes for your suc
cess and happiness.”
We sincerely join our brother in the fol
loAving prayer:
“ May God and our Churches enable you
to make it all that its title implies. We five
in perilous times for Christianity—not that
Ave lack followers of men or creeds so much,
but avlio among us is alone for Christ ? O !
that the spirit through your paper may show r
Christ continually to his people.”
No one can do more than this brother
promises:
“ I will try to get all the subscribers I can.”
We are much obliged to our friend from
Alabama. He can help us, at least with a
communication occasionally:
“ Success to you as Editor of the Index.
If I can render you any assistance as agent or
otherwise, command my services, free of com
missions.”
Very true, my brother, but worn out
“ brooms” can be replaced at #2 per year:
“We shall look for better things. New
brooms sweep clean, but netv brooms wear
out.”
We shall certainly try not to disappoint the
hopes expressed below:
“ I am A’ery much pleased Avith the appear
ance of the Index hoav, and hope you Avill
make it surpass in excellence any of the pre
vious numbers.”
We are inclined to think so too. The list
lias already increased, and we can see no
good reason why it should not continue to
enlarge:
“The general appearance of your paper
suits me very well, and I am inclined to think
you will find your list of subscribers will in
crease.”
And we have had great pleasure in receiv
ing them:
“ I have the pleasure of sending you the
names of five new subscribers to the Index.”
A voice from St. Louis. Hear what the
good brethren say:
“We yesterday received a number of the
Index of w'hich, we observe, you are editor.
We trust it may prove a lasting blessing to
the denomination whose organ it is, and that
it may be abundantly sustained by the Bap
tists of Georgia.”
And now hear what anew subscriber says:
“ I have seen the Index since it w'as moved
to Macon, and am pleased with it. I think it
now r one of the very best religious Journals
we have.”
Well, we love it also, and when a man loves
an enterprise he is very apt to do all he can
for its welfare:
“ I love the Index and am very much re
joiced to see you occupy the editorial chair.”
The following, on account of the direction
whence it came, was as cool water to a
thirsty soul:
“We received the first number of the In
dex. and read it with much interest —particu-
larly the editorials.”
Well, my brother, if all w ould do the same,
the paper w r ould most certainly succeed :
“ I am very much pleased with the last two
copies, (the first tw'o), and I expect to do all
I can for it.”
The letter below, being from one of the
most zealous and influential pastors in Geor
gia, w T e give entire:
Eldek Joseph Walker — Dear Brother —
The first ana second numbers of the Index
have been received, and it comes to us in a
new and improved dress. I think its me
chanical appearance is greatly improved, and
the salutatory of the editor promises to make
it a welcome visitor to Baptist readers. You
say that the Index will under your editorial
management be a “ Baptist paper.” I love
that expression. I have no sympathy for,
nor fellowship with, a paper that professes to
be a Baptist Journal that does not elevate
Baptist principles. If our denominational
principles are Scriptural, they are w’orth any
thing that we can do to maintain them. If
they are not Scriptural they should be ex
posed and abandoned at once. I have no
fears of their undergoing the strictest scruti
ny as Romanism with all its branches has fail
ed to demolish them for sixteen centuries
past.
Your responsibilities as a sentinel upon the
w'ateh tower, endeavoring to w ard off and
suppress error, will doubtless be great, and if
you should be able to cut down the old, and
trim a few of the young shoots of error that
are ever and anon springing up in our midst,
you will have accomplished a great work.
Yes, my brother, such a work is worthy of,
and I have no doubt will receive your undi
vided attention as Editor of the Index. The
weapons of your warfare are not “ carnal,”
but “ Spiritual,” and therefore, “ mighty
through God to the pulling down and demol
ishing the strong-holds of error.” We there
fore bid you God speed in your noble, and yet
arduous undertaking. We shall take pleasure
in obtaining all the subscribers w'e can for the
Index, and w r e hope that its circulation w ill be
doubled at least this year, by its friends and
patrons. What say you brethren? Will you
make the effort ?
We also transfer to our columns the follow
ing letter from a brother who is far aw r ay in
Texas. lie tried to s/op the Index but
couldn’t. It was like severing a member
from his family:
“ I cannot do without the Christian Index.
For forty years it has brought to my soul glad
tidings of great joy. Its accounts of revivals,
conversions, comforting churches and consti
tuting new ones, organizing Associations and
Conventions, sending many missionaries to
the heathen and into different parts of our
own land—these things have cheered my
heart. Moreover, it has often brought the
news of brethren coming up with one voice,
and praying for the conversion of the w'oild,
and that more laborers might be sent into the
Lord’s harvest.
The present year we have read the Texas
Baptist with much pleasure, and therefore
thought to discontinue the Index, and direct
ed our names to be taken from the list, but
as the time approached for it to stop, the
more w’e felt its want, so here we enclose tw’o
dollars for its continuance. May the good
Lord prosper you in the editorial work.

The Believer’s New Relation.
The Cross of Christ appears to the believer
as it never appeared to him before. It is now
the great central object of attraction, and it
shines with a radiance all divine. He looks
npon it as the procuring cause of all his joy,
and the glorious pledge of his salvation. His
tongue cannot describe its glories, nor can his
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX.
mind comprehend its fulness. He enjoys a
relation to it, however, and to the kingdom
of God, such as he never enjoyed before. A
relation that is high and heavenly, and which
shall continue forever. Let us consider this
relation.
Christ is represented in the Scriptures as
the Lamb slain from the foundation of the
world, Rev. 13:8, while the believer is represen
ted as chosen in him unto salvation before the
world began, Ephes. 1:4, 2 Timothy 1 : 9.
Through the death of Christ, the holy law
w'as magnified—divine justice was honored —
and salvation secured for millions of guilty
sinners, Rom. 10 :4, Heb. V: 25, Rev. 7: 9.
Through faith in him the believer is justified.
His faith is counted for righteousness, and
he stands free from condemnation before God,
Rom. 5:1, Rom. 8:1. He is moreover adop
ted into the family of God, is made the heir
of God, and the joint heir with the Lord Je
sus Christ, Rom. 8 : 14—17, Gal. 4: 6. His
name is inscribed in the Lamb’s book of life,
Phil. 4:3, Rev. 21 :2. All things are his,
1 Cor. 3 :21—23. Heaven is his home.. His
crow'n, his robe, and his everlasting inheritance
are there. His beloved ones are there. His
once crucified but now exalted Saviour is
there. His heavenly Father is there. His all
is there. Viewing all things in Christ, all are
lovely and glorious, and under the govern
ment of Christ all things work together for
good, to them that love the Lord, Rom. 8 :
28. Having such blessed.encouragements to
sustain him, the Christian is emboldened to
do the work of his master, with assurance of
a heavenly reward. God is on his side, w'hom
shall he fear ? Being united to Christ, who
shall separate him from his love? “ Shall
tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or fa
mine, or nakedness, or peril, or sw'ord?”
“ Nay, in all these things he is more than a
conqueror through him, that loved him,” Rom.
8 : 35—37.
In virtue of his relation to Christ he is made
the heir of all things. Hence all the blessings
of Providence are his. All the riches of grace
and all the glories of heaven belong to his
estate. Every encouragement in God’s word
—every hope that is inspired—every pros
pect that opens before him—and every ray of
divine light which beams from heaven upon
him, may be regarded as the blessed fruits of
God’s love to him through his son.
The believer is not yet in possession of the
heavenly inheritance ; but he is as sure of at
taining to it as God’s eternal purpose is sure.
There can be no failure. Cheer up then, Chris
tian and hope to the end. J. M. W.

Congressional.
Washington, Jan. 27.—The Senate deba
ted the Indian Appropriation bill.
In the House Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, from
the Ways and Means Committee, reported
an amended tariff bill, which he stated will re
duce the revenue $14,000,000.
The bill giving to each branch of Congress
the entire control of its contingent fund, was
debated without action.
The submarine telegraph question w'as re
ferred to the Committee on Ways and
Means.
The House holds session in the evening for
debate only.
The Post Office Committee of the House
have decided to favor a line of steamers from
New’ York to the West Indies and Brazil, via
Savannah. Have also ordered a bill to be re
ported in favor of a line of steamers betw'een
Panama and Valparaiso, and a line from New’
York to Constradt via Rotterdam.
Nothing was done in either House, except
the announcement of the death of Mr. Brooks.
His funeral W’ill take place to-morrow'.
Jan. 29.—The funeral of Mr. Brooks was
largely attended. His body will soon be re
moved to his late place of residence. A num
ber of eulogies w'ere pronounced in both
Houses.

The ship James Buchanan had been wreck
ed on the Irish Coast.
The second sub-marine Telegraph Compa

United States.
Howard College.
We understand that the Board of Trustees
of Howard College, has appointed the Rev.
Z. Henderson, their agent to raise an endow
ment fund of fifty thousand dollars, for two
more professorships in the College. The im
portance of constituting tw'O more professor
ships is too well known by the friends of the
institution to require any comment from us,
but we hope that the amount may be speedi
ly raised, and the college placed on that foot
ing, which the wealthy and intelligent de
nomination under whose control it is intend
ed that it should be, when they first founded
it.
We commend Mr. Henderson to the citi
zens of Alabama, as a young man of sterling
worth, and hope they will respond to the call
made upon them by the growing wants of
How'ard College, by contributing liberally
for its further endowment.— Marion Courier.
Wonder if the Commonwealth has received
the Index ?
Geological.
Professor Emmons, in his recent report to
the Legislature of North Carolina, mentions
the discovery, in the sedimentary rocks of
Montgomery county, North Carolina, of fos
sils of an age anterior to any previous dis
coveries of traces of animal life. Professor
Emmons contends therefore, that so far as
investigations have resulted in discoveries,
that county w T as the scene of the first mani
festation of that great principle, life.
A Sister’s Devotedness. —An affecting
iucident is related by a Donegal (Ireland)
paper. A young boy and his sister, returning
homeward, had to cross a mountain. The
night was dark and stormy, and they lost their
way. Next morning both were found dead
from exposure. The boy and girl lay side by
side —the latter with her arm around her
brother’s neck, and her flannel petticoat, re
‘moved from her own person, w r as w'rapped
round his teet. Thus did the affectionate
creature perhaps sacrifice her ow’n life in a vain
effort to sustain that of her young brother.
Editor of the Washington Union.—The
Albany Argus has announced that Judge Ni
cholson will be succeeded as editor of the
Washington Union, by the Hon. John Ap
pleton, of Maine, the Union of Saturday thus
confirms the statement.
After the 4th of March, the editor of this
paper will retire, w'hen the Hon. John Ap
pleton will become sole editor and proprietor.
The aarrangements which have resulted in
this change have been consummated without
the slightest difficulty. We may be excused
for adding that our retirement is voluntary,
and in pursuance long of a resolution since
made.” “

A NEW WORK ON AFRICA.
REV. T. J. BOWEN, the missionary pioneer and
traveler, under the Foreign Board of the South
ern Baptist Convention, has a work now in press, giv
ing an account of his experience in the six years of his
explorations in the interior of Africa. It aiso embodies
his views on the origin, history, and the national char
acteristics of the African tribes, and the prospects of
the future civilization and conversion of tiie people of
that hitherto unknown region. The work will be ac
companied with a map, and sundry tables and notes il
lustrating many special points.
The information thus given will be new and striking :
and the authentic and creditible character of the work
will give it the highest kind of authority. The book
therefore needs only to be announced, to secure a live
ly expectation for its issue. It will be published by the
first of February, and will be a 12mo. of 350 pages or
over. The profits on the work to the author, will be
all appropriated to the Central African Mission. To
secure orders, it is desirable that early applications
should be made to the agents of the Southern Baptist
Publication Society, who are the proper publishers.—
