for mercenary ends, of which none can sus
pect him. Nor does he say that there are not
to be found men qualified for the work; this
would place him in a very awkward position.
Much lew does he say that’ he is the only
man on the globe qualified for the work of
revision—this would smack of a vanity of
which the Dr. is not capable. Common sense
will say, and surely there is in it no reflection
on the Dr. that if his revision is entitled to
credence, surely the combined learning of 25
or 30 as good and as learned men as himself
may produce a revision quite as worthy of
confidence. The Dr’s, letter reduces the
whole matter to a question of dollars and
cents. lam free to admit that at that busi
ness the Dr. can beat the whble of them. He
can write his book on less paper and do it in a
shorter time than the best, and if he doos not
get it printed on as good terms it will not be
his fault; but allowing him all due credit for
financiering, his argument only amounts to
an objection to the management of the Bible
Union —not against revision. This he can
nOTor object to until he bums his own revi
• non. :\
Taking the showing of Brother C. and the
Dr. all together, it confirms me as a revision
ist, and now that poor, old Dr. Cone is gone,
we may hope for better management in the
Bible Union. In the mean time, I hope Dr.
S. may find a remunerating sale of his excel
lent revision, before the Bible Union shall
bring out the great revision.

Mercer University.
i Brother Walker : —The Convention will
1 soon meet and elect anew Board of Trustees;
\ that board in July next, provide a Head of the
) Faculty. Even now, many good, devoted,
valuable Brethren would be very glad to
ktaow on whom that choice is to fall. The pa
trojyi and all friendly to the University are
anxious about this thing—and there are many
reason* why a deep solicitude may be experi
enced. One is, a change of this officer then
has always>een convulsive , and for a time, in
some sort, in>uious. Another is, from the
many learned ana -ell qualified in the denom
ination a selection is extremely difficult. The
time is far past when the arises, “who
can be had?” The position oi that Institu
. tion —its funds, name and association with
the hallowed memories of its departed .Fath
ers, make it command talent, wisdom and pi
ety in all its officers. The highest gifts and
endowments in the denomination will be at
ts service, and still the question, “ who shall
it be ?” remains unanswered. Thus much be
ing said, the following statevtent and suggestion
is submitted to those who may have the mat
ter in charge.
* The Charter confers upon it University
powers. Is it organized in accordance with
its organic law ? To make it so, will require
a convulsion in Georgia Baptist liberality.—
Would that an earthquake of the sort, would
move, one hundred such hearts as Mercer’s,
Cooper, Heard, Sanders, and a host of such,
** who now rest from their labors.”
The suggestion is, that Universities are
congregations of Colleges, and have no Presi
dent as such, of the whole, the force of the
argument, “ that circumstances alter cases,”
is recognized in this instance. But even at
Mercer under any organization, why have any
President, technically so called, circumstances
force the Board of Trustees into the present
arrangement of its Society. And does any
one, on that account expect injurious conse
quences ? Certainly not. If then a President
can be dispensed with for six months, why
not a year, two years, nay, all time. No in
surmountable reason in favor of the office is
known—some yery strong ones against it may
be given. May not the interval before July

BY A COMMITTEE OF BRETHREN, FOR THE
GEORGIA BAPTIST CONVENTION.
communications are necessa
rily laid over till next week.
Tokens of Kindness.
A few weeks ago we published a chapter
of “ kind words,” but having received a large
supply of the same articles since, we this
week issue the second edition. There is a
dear friend of ours in Alabama, whose heart
is in the right place, just under his jacket,
who breathes forth his sensible convictions as
follows:
“ I can say truly, I am pleased with the
paper, and believe, as well as hope, it will do
good.”
Next let uslisterifor a moment to the speech
of an honest man:
“ I believe I am indebted for one whole
year, and perhaps longer. It has been sorely
against my will, for I would be sorry to be
deprived of the enjoyment of reading the In
dex. My income is rather small and uncer
tain. I enclose you six dollars.”
The following considerate view of things
comes from one of Georgia’s noblemen:
“ I believe that I am about two years be
hind in this important duty (paying for the
Index) and therefore remit this amount ($10)
that I may not be in the same situation again
very soon ”
A good brother had concluded to discon
tinue the Index because, owing to some mis
management in the Post Offices, he does not
receive it regularly, but like a warm-hearted
Baptist he writes;
“ I should feel at some loss if I were to dis
continue the Index. I presume I am now
one of the oldest subscribers in Georgia.”
We have been encouraged by quit© a num
ber of letters, containing language like the
following:
“ I herein enclose my yearly payment. I
should have sent on sooner but I thought I
would wait till I saw the papenin its new
dress. The printing was so bad last year that
I had determined to stop, but I am now sat
isfied.”
What could be sweeter than the subjoined
prayer?
“ May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
be with you.”
We are glad, too, indeed; it raises our
courage to see the receipt list swell out on
our pages, and some editors among the moun
tains of Virginia are wondering how such
things are done:
“ I am glad to see by the increased num
ber of receipts, the onward progress of the
Index. It is a welcome messenger.”
• The same we beliete is true in almost eve
ry section of the State. At least, so we hear
continually,
A brother minister holding an important
position in the 01/1 Dominion, and in whose
judgment we have always placed great con
fidence, writes in/ a business letter:
“I am glad to see the improved dress the
Index wears uftder your supervision. It
could not but improve irf your hands. And
I have no doubt the removal to Macon will
be advantageous—for it is much more ‘in
the world.’
One of our active ministers writes as if he
owned stock in the Index, and so he does,
for he has learned to say “ our paper.” That
brother. But hear what he says:
‘•The brethren in my section are mucb
pleased with our paper. God give you grace,
my brother, to go on in your laborious task.
You please all, but do your duty and God
will bless you.”
Our bills have been going out, and some
thought that as soon as the duns would reach
their destination, we should have not a few
discontinuances, but we had a better opinion
of the Baptists of Georgia, and the following
will show, that there are noble spirits in the
State who reason like gentlemen and Chris
tians:
“ I received your note a few days since re
minding me of my neglecting my dues to the
Index. -I had thought of stopping my paper
for the last twelve months on account of my
eyes failing me so fast, but lest you should
think that your dunning insulted me, I send
y6u the money and continue my paper the
present year.
Oh! how cheering, brother, let us exchange
hearts for a moment;
** I enclose you $2 for the Index in advance.
I am well pleased with it, since the print is
so good and the substance too. I have taken
the paper ever since it was printed in Wash
ington, Wilkes County. I shall do all I can
for it.” „ „
Why, as to that, brother, we are not a
good anatomist, and do not certainly know
THE CHRISTIAN - XNfHEIS.
how many “ nerves” we have, but this we
know; Whether many or few, they are all
Baptist nerves:
“ I perceive you have some nerve and are
not afraid to express your sentiments, and de
fend Baptist principles. I think the paper is
.much improved, and that the day is not dis
tant when the Baptists of Georgia will be
proud of it, and swell its circulation. En
closed I send you $5.”
One good, honest common-sense Baptist is
worth a score of hesitating instable, half-and
half professors. The views taken from a busi
letter, an extract from which is below, sup
ply the life-blood of a paper. Thank you,
Brother S., for your change of resolution:
“ I had made up my mind to quit the paper,
as I hardly ever attempted to read it on account
of its bad print—so I neglected to pas—but
I concluded to wait till I had seen yottr first
number. I now see a great change in the
the print and the paper generally, and think
that every Baptist ought to take and encour
age it. Send as many subscribers as possi
ble. I therefore send you $4 to place to my
credit.
Well, my brother, our letters have proved
to a demonstration that there were many
others who had just such thoughts, and we
are glad to find they have changed their de
determinations and intend to hold on:
I had a thought of dropping the paper, but
being so well pleased with the improvement
since its removal to Macon, I shall continue
my subscription longer, hoping that it may
continue to prosper in your hands.”
Yes, “ Our Organ ,” that is the word, and if
all will just do as you propose doing, “ Our
Organ ” will make such music as the Baptists
love to hear:
“ I am going to do all in my power to ex
tend our organ. I can say its visits are always
cordially received by your unworthy broth
er.”
No doubt of it—they “ ought' *’ to take it,
and they will, if the brethren generally fol
low your example:
“I will try and get others to send for the
Index. Every Baptist family ought to take
it.”
Our readers may infer from the following,
that its author has been at work for the pa
per. Can you, reader, say the same ?
“I will try to send you other new sub
scribers soon.”
Certainly not ! —A Baptist need not fear
any question, if he will only read the Bible —
either the common or the Revised version:
“ Don’t be afraid of the revision question.”
We must be excused for giving one name
here, since it is possible that’ we may not be
able to reach the Mass Meeting—will if we can
—but are not certain ** ta Jiq,w it will. The
“ one opinion, of course, we construe in a fa
vorable light, since we have received acces
sions to our list from that quarter:
“I hear but one opinion in this section
about the Index. I will try to extend its
circulation in my circuit. We shall certainly
expect you at our Missionary Meeting.
Your brother, <fcc.,
C. W, IRWIN.”
We thank our brother who has written to
us so kindly from Madison Court House, Fla.,
for the sweet words hereunto appended:
“ I am vastly pleased with the Index, and
pray that you and it may long live —first to
serve God; second, to do good to the breth
ren.”
The following is from one of Georgia’s fa
vorite ministers, and for which we feel truly
thankful:
“ I am pleased with the appearance of the
Index under its new auspices, and trust that
your connection with it will be universally
gratifying to the brethren and member* of
the Church of God in Zion.”
We are greatly encouraged by the sub
joined testimony of approbation, and assure
our brother that if such views concerning the
Index should become general, its prosperity
is established beyond a doubt:
“ I must say in conclusion, that I am high
ly pleased with the Index, in its new dress,
matter and location, and that it will be what
Georgia Baptists ought to make it. I shall
esteem it a privilege, to give it my shoulder
as heretofore, and to wish you great success
in your noble enterprise.”
We hear the same from various quarters,
and feel uq little gratified-; ~ T
“ I have heard a goodly number of breth
ren express themselves well pleased with the
paper since its change to Macon.”
JEIP'We have also received a high com
mendation from our aged brother Kilpatrick,
and several from other brethren who are at
tached to the Index by the associations of
years. While these epistles are too long to
publish in this column of extracts, we allude
to them for the purpose of tendering our
thanks to these brethren. That the Index 1
should escape censure entirely is what we
ought not to expect, but thus - far, our letters
have expressed a united approbation.
Ordination.
Brother Editor :—At the call of the Baptist
Church, LaGrange, a presbytery assembled
with said church oq Saturday 21st of Februa
ry, to inquire into the expediency of setting
apart Henry Erasmus Brooks to the full work
of the Gospel Ministry. The candidate
preached a sermon characterized by freshness
and a most edifying simplicity. In the after
noon the presbytery examined brother Brooks
upon his religious experience, motives for
preaching, and views of Christian doctrine;
all which being satisfactory, they resolved to
proceed with his ordination the next day. ,
Selections of Scripture and ordaining prayer
by Rev, W. A. Callaway; sermon by the
writer; charge and presentation of the Bible,
by Rev. J. E. Dawson. A large congrega
tion on the protracted exercises pa*
tiently and seriously.
Brethren have conceived a high opinionof
brother Brooks’ spirit aims and qualifications.
His mental training and scholarship are fin*.

Our public religions fevices are held, for the
present, in the Chapel of the Institution; but
the instrumentality, most likely, which God
is specially honoring, is the example of earn
est and consistent piety in the families of the
excellent Principals.
I have also the pleasure of announcing a
continuous state of interest for the last twelve
months in our colored congregation, as the
result of which some have been coming into
the church all along. You know, brother
Walker, that I have loved this work, if I
have ever loved any. My heart yearns to
wards them yet, whenever I think of my black
congregations in Alabama. The core of the
church here, are earnest and devoted breth
ren. To God be’all the praise.

Mrs. Sanders was for eight years, an exemplary mem

was attractive in person and patient in suffering. Her

Mr. Sanders’ illness was protracted, and his sufferings

A short time previous to his demise, he bid his friends

Notes on the Principles and Practice
OF THE BAPTIST CHURCHES,
By Francis Wayland, D. D. 1 vol.—Price sl.
“Dr. Wayland wrote for the body of the ministry
and for the membership of the churches. To attain
his object in winning them as readers, these unstudied
outpourings, as of a revered friend holding us in a rich,
free, and hearty conversation, where, we think, the
best form that he could adopt. He has called his vol
ume but “Notes.” It is not elaborate, though its
views are often profound, the result evidently of long
and devout pondering. It is in style of utterance, to
use an image of Bacon’s, but the first crushing of the
clusters in the press, not the protracted twisting that
leaves the harsh taste of grape skin and stems in the
wine. It is, unless we greatly misjudge, a work likely
long to remain and to leave the enduring mark of its
happiest influence upon our denominational history and
character.” —The Examiner, A". Y.
