Exclusion.
The Baptist Church of Christ, at Provi
dence, having been under the necessity of ex
cluding William C. Fullerfor immorality, who
previously had obtained a letter of Dismis
sion from said Church, and now refuses to
give it up, this Church, therefore, deem it
her duty, to make this fact known for the
benefit of those whom it may concern.

The late Meeting of the Convention.
MERCER UNIVERSITY.
Dear Brother Walker : —I have read
with mucli interest the account of our
recent Convention, at Angusta. I was es
pecially gratified with the spirit of con
ciliation and love which seemed to pervade
the meeting. In the prosecution of great
and good enterprises, discussions will
•Sometimes spring up, owing to the imper
fect judgment, and graces of God’s peo
ple ; but shall these things alienate ns
from the work of our blessed Lord ? God
forbid. We must not turn our backs up
on Christ’s work and upon one another,
till Christ turns his back upon His work
and His people. His immediate disciples
sometimes got into a very bad humor,
and said and did things which were not
wise nor lovely; but did our meek and
blessed Lord fly into a rage, or sink down
in discouragement, and summon twelve
legions of angels to bear him away from
his unfinished work to the regions of glo
ry? No verily, belabored 011 to the end,
and by his divine grace got his disciples
into a more propitious and lovely frame.
And we, his poor, unworthy disciples
must not tire and faint; if in any respects
we have acted unwisely, and have been
the occasion of grief to others, or have
ourselves been aggrieved by the imper
fections of our brethren, we must all re
pent, forgive, humble ourselves, rub out
•and begin again. A poor axe, truly, that
flies off the helve at the sight of every
knot, or hard piece of wood. I was glad
to see that our gracious and patient Lord
imparted so much of his own blessed spir
it to the brethren Augusta, that they
were enabled with so much apparent love
and good will to turn their backs upoy the
past, and press on harmoniously towards
the things that are before. I wish I could
have been there to have participated in
the pleasant and refreshing scenes of the
occasion. I am pretty certain that I
should have joined in that shaking of
hands. Like some of the rest of my good
brethren, I have now and then been a lit
tle “disgruntled (as Father Mercer used
to say) in my feelings about some things ;
and no doubt during my twenty-seven
years’ connexion with my Georgia breth
ren, I have said and done many things
which have grieved the hearts of breth
ren, better, far better than myself. I have
not intentionally injured the feelings of
any, but no doubt I have done it. Well,
lam sorry. I will try and do so no more.
I pray God to keep me from giving any
just occasion to my brethren for being
grieved. I now heartily join my hand to
that, hand —shaking at Augusta ; upon
looking round as well as I can, I think
I see that my own little “disgruntlements”
with my brethren are all behind my back
(that is the place where I generally pack
them away.) lam looking and pressing
forward; if they will still, as hitherto, re
cognize me as an unworthy fellow-labor
er in the great work of building up Christ’s
Kingdom on earth, I shall be truly thank
ful.
I was pleased to see Brother Clarke’s
Preamble and resolutions respecting the
Mercer University. Most heartily do I
respond to the well conceived and happi
ly expressed conclusion:
“ Forgetting all past differences, we
will unite our prayers, our labors and our
means, so far as may be consistent with other
obligations, in the laudable endeavor to carry
out to its fullest extent the benevolent wishes
of its pious and liberal founders.”
All this is right, noble, christian-like.—
I hope this spirit will pervade the heart
of every Baptist in Georgia.
The question of a Removal of the Insti
tution should be at once dropped, and
forever, from the mind of every friend of
the College. If my poor entreaties could
avail anything, I would beseech brethren
to agitate that subject no more. lam
satisfied that the endowment fund could
not be transferred to any other location
legally. But lam not a lawyer, and in
this thing may he mistaken; but I think
I am not mistaken in one thing, that a re
moval of the University from Penfield
would rend the Baptists of Georgia, as
they never have been rent, and would be
get a sad and blighting distrust in all our
future enterprises of the kind. Who can
tell but what a concurrence of circum
stances might call for a second removal,
and then again for a third ? If the ques
tion of location were now anew and open
one, I might be in favor of another place,
and so no doubt would many other Geor
gia Baptists. But our stake is driven
down, there let it stand. If Mercer must
die, let it die and be buried at Penfield,
where sleeps the dust of Sanders, and of
Jessee the great son of Silas. This would
be an evil (lamentable it is true) but far
less than its removal. But it need not
die—it will not die. It has had its trials
and conflicts, but still it has prospered,
and it will still prosper. God lias set his
seal upon it. It has been favored with
many gracious revivals. Its influence is
now felt from the Carolinas to Texas, and
even to distant Africa. It has, from the
very first, sent out a class of young men,
who, for sterling worth .and energy of
character, have been unsurpassed, if equal
led (in proportion to the number) by the
pupils of any American Seminary. Is all
this nothing ?
It already has a permanent endowment
of a respectable character equal, with
that enlargement which our brethren could
soon add to it, to meet all the wants of a
first rate College—an endowment the
fruit of love and faith, and in many cases
of severe Christian self-denial—an endow
ment hitherto managed with remarkably
skill fidelity and success. Is all this noth
ing? We have upon the ground an ex
cellent and laboring Faculty. Is all this
nothing? We have had much success;
and perhaps if we had all been more
thoroughly spiced with the spirit of the
humble Mary, and less tinctured with
Nebucliadnezzarism, we should have been
prepared for still greater success. We
have had our trials. This is the way God
works. He tries his people in their great
and good plans, as well as in other things.
Have we therefore faith ? Did Judson’s
faith faint in the prison of Oung-Pen-la ?
When the Missionary premises at Serem
pore were burnt down, and the precious
labors of years were consumed in an hour,
did Carey and Ward and Marshman faint?
Our University trials have been far less
than these, and shall we faint ? We must
not—we will not.
I am glad to see moreover, that the
Board are taking measures to cany out
the plan agreed upon at the Convention
at Washington, Wilkes County, viz.: to
endow the “ Sander’s Professorship.”—
But I must reserve my suggestions on this
point for another article. I beg humble
pardon for this long letter—alas! alas!
when shall I get Cured of my long win
dedness. But my race is well nigh run.
Better and wiser folks are coming on in
the millenium. This is some comfort.
Yours in the Blessed Redeemer,
C. D. MALLARY.
“I’m Sorry I Stopped.”
This was the brief confession of a brother
who recently ordered his paper to be renewed.
When the Index changed its location, several
of its former patrons discontinued, who, no
doubt, have long since, like our brother above
referred to, been sorry they “stopped.”—
There is nothing gained to him who stops the
Index, and as those who hastily cut them
selves loose from their old friend, have, per
haps, been sufficiently punished, we’ll take
them all back at two dollars a head—provid
ed, they wish to come.

DIED.
In Chatham county, Ga., April 17th, 1857. Mrs.
ELIZABETH B. MURROW, consort of Mr. J. B.
Murrow in the 32d year of her age.
For a number of years she was a pious and devoted
member of the Baptist Church. Her end was peace.
About an hour before she died, she was asked if she
was willing to go: “O yes,” was her reply “ the only
tie that binds me to earth is my husband and child.”
Afto* conversing freely of her Heavenly Father’s love,
and her Saviour’s merits, lief speech failed, she gave
one last and long look at her agonized husband, gent
ly closed her eyes, and “ fell asleep.” She has left a
fond and doting husband, and one little babe, besides
many relatives and friends to mourn their loss. But
tlieir loss is her gain. Mourn not disconsolate hus
band, “She is not dead but sleepcth”—weep not little
one, thy mother shall live again, for Jesus has said,
“whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die.”
“Lift for her no voice of wailing;
Freed from earth, and earthly failing,
High in heaven’s own light she’s dwelling;
Full the song of triumph swelling.”
Departed this life at he* father’s, in Oglethorpe coun
ty, on the 17th of April, ALPHA JANE SANDERS,
wife of Seaborn Sanders of Elbert county, and daughter
of Benjamin and Ann Patton. She made a profession
of religion in 1843, and was baptized into the fellow
ship of the Baptist Church at Cloud’s Creek, Oglethorpe
County. She was an orderly and pious member—
kind and dutiful as a wife, loving and obliging to her
neighbors. While death was struggling with her, her
hope was still steadfast. But a few minutes before she
breathed her last, her relatives and friends were weep
ing around her bgdside. She was calm and collected,
and exhorted them to meet her in Heaven, where there
would be no parting of friends. She has left an affec
tionate husband and many kindred and friends to
mourn their loss. E.
In Taliaferro County, Ga., on the 12th of April, 1857,
Mrs. MARGARET C. LUNCEFORD, daughter of James
C. Echols, and wife of Wm. M. Luuceford, in the 31st
year of her age. She joined the Baptist Church at
Bethesda, in Greene County, and was baptized by the
Rev. J. S. Baker, August 17th, 1844. From that time
until her death, she lived an orderly, devoted and ex
emplary life—giving satisfactory evidence of a deep,
evangelical piety to all those who were the subjects
of her influence in the social circles of life. She was
an invalid for many years, but was not confined to her
bed more than two weeks before her death. She left
a IPtlebabe, who followed her in a-few days; while
JMlrcourpah/dfraiid two children still survive to feel
mid lament her loss. She was rational to her last mo
ments, fully sensible of her approaching dissolution,
and entirely willing to “ depart and be with Christ.”—
She talked calmly of death—asked her friends and her
husband not to grieve after her—requested that her
darling children should be raised up properly—then
sung that beautiful chorus, “"Oh! let us meet in heaven,”
and in a few minutes, without a single struggle, she
died as calmly and sweetly as an infant falls to sleep in
its Mother’s arms! Surely the mighty arms of Jesus’
everlasting love were around her as she took her tri
umphant flight from this world to her blissful place of
rest in her ethrnal home ! J. O. H.

PROSPECTUS OF THE
Georgia Educational Journal.
THE TEACHER’S ASSISTANT & PUPIL’S FRIEND.
Published Weekly in Forsyth, in quarto form , suitable
for binding.
THE special design of this Journal is to promote the
Educational interests of Georgia. While it will
be conservative of all that is valuable in our present
System of Education, its columns will be open to the
discussion of those improvements which will make the
Common Schools better, and elevate the standard of
scholarship in the State. Attention will also be given
to current News and such subjects as will make it a val
uable and attractive Family Journal.
We already have a valuable corps of Contributors ;
Communications from Teachers are solicited.
The Journal will advocate,
Ist. A decided improvement in our present System
of Education.
2d. The appointment by the Legislature or Gover
nor, of one or more Superintendents, who shall visit the
Schools in the State, enquire into their condition,
plans of instruction, what text books are used, &c.,
and report accordingly.
3d. The elevation of our State University, with a
suitable endowment, to a rank similar to that of the
Virginia University.
4th. The use of Southern text hooks, and the em
ployment of Southern Teachers.
We will cheerfully help unemployed Teachers to ob
tain good situations, and Schools to get Teachers, and
make the Journal the “Teacher’s Directory.”
Will not the Teachers in Georgia help us to sustain
the Journal ?
Terms : $2 00 in advance; any Minister or Teach
er who will send us the name of one new subscriber
with $2 00, may have his copy at half price, i. e. $1 00.
