PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY,
AT MACON, GA.,
by a committee of brethren, for the
GEORGIA BAPTIST CONVENTION.
Associational Sessions between
SABBATHS.
A brother wishes to know the reasons tor
the Rehoboth Association’s present arrange
ment for her anniversary. They are chiefly
these. Ist. By meeting on Tuesday the ses
sion closes on Thursday or Friday, and all the
ministers of the body, are with their churches
on Sabbath. Where a church has but twelve
meetings a year, the loss of one is a matter of
importance. They now lose no meeting on
account of the Association. 2d. The business
of the body, is in our day, the great object of
the meeting; the preaching is secondary.
The business must be done on week days.—
When we met on Saturday many brethren
would leave after Sunday, (and some would
write reports on Sunday) and thus, the latter
part of the session was thin, while the most
important business was transacted. This is
obviated by meeting on Tuesday. 3d. We
secure a much larger attendance of ministers
from other Associations. They can attend
our sessions without being absent from their
churches on Sunday.
When a church wishes a meeting she can
secure some ministers to remain and conduct
it, after the Association adjourns.
Revivals.
The Union meeting of the 2d District of
the Chattahoochee United Baptist Associa
tion, held its session with the New Prospect
Church, Taylor County. A revival followed
and eleven or twelve were added to the
church. Others are expected soon to follow.
The Chattahoochee United Baptist Asso
ciation will convene with the Damascus church,
Taylor County, on Saturday before the 4th
Sunday in September.
‘ DAVID J. APPERSON,
Corresponding Secretary.
A letter from our friend, Dr. A. R. Wel
born, brings us the pleasing intelligence of a
glorious revival in progress at Newnan. The
minsters engaged in the meeting are breth
ren Caskill and Davis.
We learn, also,.that a meeting of interest
is going on in Milledgeville, under the direc
tion of Rev. J. L. Warren, the pastor, aided
by brethren Campbell and Corley.
Tha Bainbridge Argus.
The Editor of this interesting miscellaneous
paper dropped into our office a few days ago,
and gave us his plans aad purposes. We wish
him the greatest success in making a first rate
-4tttuiiy .auJ-wdsueJlaneous journal. It is now
one of the most interesting papers in the
State, and the E litor has consummated plans
for its improvement in future. It is to be
kept pure in its moral tone and with a relig
ious proclivity.
*•
The Western Recorder.
This paper comes this week in anew dress
and with anew and most imposing head.
The Recorder is very ably conducted by its
present editor, and is enjoying a comfortable
share of prosperity. We ever witness with
pleasure the improvements in journalism, and
especially that of our denominational organs.
Thoughts by Thoughtful.—No. 9.
PUNCTUALITY.
When we behold the works of nature, we
see every thing is punctual in fulfilling its sea
sons. The Sun rises and sets at its appointed
moments. The Moon waxes and wanes with
great regularity; and all the planets revolve
in their orbits without varying a moment’s
time. The seasons of the earth come around
without derangement; and all the workman
ship of God, moves on with the regularity of
well arranged machinery. Even man’s own
natural functions are exercised with great ex
actness. The heart beats, the blood flows,
the respiration continues, with all the regu
larity of time.
What a lesson is thus impressed upon all
the sons of men ! They should be punctual
in the discharge of every duty—punctual to
comply with every obligation. Let every
one adopt the motto, “Punctuality in all
things.”
For the Index.
What Churches !
One of the most laborious and useful min
isters of my acquaintance in Georgia, told me
a short t'una ago, that he had served several
Churches, a number of years each, and that
when he chose to discontinue his labors among
them, they all, with one exception, failed to
make up his salary as usual. Thus, when
they found they could retain his services no
longer, they seemed to feel absolved from all
obligations to remunerate him for the labor
he bad performed, and the sacrifices he had
already made for them. This is no doubt the
experience of other ministers also. I forbear
making any comments upon such treatment.
If, howev* r, this article should chance to meet
the eye of any Church member who has been
guilty of withholding from his pastor his just
due, I will leave him to make his own com
ments.
Science and Infidelity. *
Prof. Henry, at the head of the Smith
sonian Institute, testifies that he knows
but one-man among the scientific men of
the Uuited States who is an infidel.
Monroe Female University.
We have received the sixth annual Report
>f this flourishing Seminary. We confess
surprise at finding so'creditable an exhibition
•f typography from the “ Georgia Education
d Journal office.”
The Rev. Win, C. Wilkes, A. M., is Presi
lent, having associated with him ten others,
is teachers and professors, in the different
lepartments of instruction. The whole num
jer of pupils during the year is 143. The In
stitution is one of the best in the land; is
inely located, well conducted, and deserves
its large and increasing patronage.
Our Prospects.
The Index is prospering most encouraging
ly. The list has increased this year at the
rate of one hundred per month. Brethren
write us that they are intending to make vig
orous efforts for us this Fall. The speeches
will be made and the subscribers secured at
Associations. The many who are uniting
with our churches ought to he urged to take
“our” paper.
Mr. William G. Woodfin, formerly
of this city, has been elected to the Sanders
Professorship in Mercer University, Georgia.
‘This chair is devoted, for the present, to Ro
man Literature and Modern Languages; and
we are pleased to learn that its new occupant
gives promise of becoming one of the ripest
scholars of the South.— Religious Herald.
Rev. J. P. Boyce.
Brother Boyce has declined the Presidency
of Mercer Uuiversity to which he was chosen
at the last Commencement. He says, not
because he does not appreciate the honor,
nor because he has not a high regard for the
brethren of Georgia; hut because the accep
tance appears to him, at present, to militate
against cherished plans, long since formed—
labored for during many years—and appar
ently now within his reach.

in September:

Ga., on the Tallahassee road, on . Friday
before the 3d Lord’s day in Novembe .
Note. — Will the Moderators and Clerks
of each Association see that the Index is rep
resented at the next session ? Let a brother
be requested to make a five minutes’ speech,
and then pass through the body, and take
the names of new subscribers and receive the
dues of old ones. Has not the paper at least
one working friend in each Association, who
will attend to this business ? We cannot feel
satisfied with less than one thousand new
subscribers during these anniversaries.
The Editor may attend the Georgia Asso
ciation, and probably a few others.
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX.
Delegates and Visiters to the
REHOBOTH ASSOCIATION.
The committee on hospitalities will desig
nate the Baptist Church as the most conve
nient place to meet persons on their ari ival
in the city. Those arriving on Monday will
find the committee in the lecture room, from
5 to 6 o’clock, P. M. Those who come on
Tuesday morning, or subsequently, will re
pair, at once, to the Church, and homes will
be assigned them during their stay with us.
Provision will also be made for horses.
As many will come by the trains of Tues
day morning, which arrive at 11 o’clock, we
will appoint the hour for preaching the intro
ductory sermon at half past 11, in lieu of 11
o’clock.
The Church expects a large attendance, and
will be disappointed if it is not secured.
Severe, but True.—The pungent Mr. Ryle,
in one of his tracts, gives these sentences:—
“The plain truth is, that many believers in
the present day seem so dreadfully afraid of
doing harm that they hardly ever dare to do
any good. There are many who are fruitful
in objections, hut barren in action; rich in
wet blankets, but poor in anything like Chris
tian fire. They are like the Dutch deputies,
who would never allow Marlborough to ven
ture anything, and by their excessive caution
prevented many a victory from being won.—
Truly, in looking round the Church of Christ
a man might sometimes think that God’s king
dom had come and God’s will was being done
on earth, so small is the zeal that some belie
vers show. It is vain to deny it.”
Rev. E. Kincaid.
It is well known to many, that Mr. Iv.
catne to this country as the bearer of dis
patches to our government from the King
of Burmali. We learn that the express
ions of friendly relations have been official
ly reciprocated by our Government, and
these Mr. Kincaid will convey hack to the
King. Mr. Kincaid informs us by a note
recently, that he sails for Burmali in a few
days, and enters on his labors there.

PIED.
At her husband’s home, the home of her childhood
in Oglethorpe county, Ga., on the 28th of August, 1857,
XANCS BOND, wife ot Abel Bond, and daughter of
Isaac Howard. She was a member of the Baptist
Church at Salem. A meek and sincere Christian, a
kind and good wife, a worthy mother, a true sister, an
earnest friend, —these were some of the virtues of her
character. She lived with friends, died without ene
mies, and is now in heaven. May her friends not for
get the example of her virtues ; may her Christian re
signation in death, be theirs also; and may a reunion
in God’s presence await those who mourn her loss.—
She died of Typhoid Fever.
In Oglethorpe county, Ga., on the 10th of August,
1857, ANTOINE C. HOWARD, son of Isaac Howard.
He was a Baptist, a member of Salem Church, a good
Christian, and useful citizen. The community feel his
loss, and sincerely regret his death. lie was truly a
good young man.
“So live, that when thy sUmmnos comes ta join
The innumerable caravan that moves
To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not like the quarry-slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon; but, sustained and sooth
ed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave,
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.”
At {he residence of her husband, Pontotoc county,
Miss., August 21st, 1857, SABRINA E. IIEARN, con
sort of Jacob Hearn, in the 37 th year of her age. Sis
ter Hearn professed religion and was baptized into the
Antioch Church, Morgan county, Ga., by E'.d. John E.
Dawson, in the year 1839, and Irom that time until her
death she honored the cause she professed by her pru
dence and godly walk at all times, and left the impres
sion with all who knew her, that she has gone to rest.
Her affliction was bourne with great patience and resig
nation.
In Atlanta, Ga., of Whooping Cough, on the 20th
ult., LILLA, infant daughter of A. N. and Sarah J. Ab
bott, aged 2 months and 26 days.
In Hancock county, Ga., on the 10th ult., WILLIAM
B. second son of John auaEiizaC. Amoss, age 8 years.
“It is well.” 2 Kings, 4, 26.
Taken to its Savior’s bosom,
He who said of such shall be
The chosen of my Father’s kingdom,
Suffer such to come to me. W. A.
Recorder please copy.
In Rome, Ga., the 30th of May, in the ISth year of
her uge, Miss EMILY MENTOR IA HAY, daughter
of John W. and Ann M. Hay, deceased. How often
are we admonished of the fact that death spares no
condition of life. Infancy—youth—manhood and old
age all fall below this ruthless destroyer. Our Sister
in the very morning of life, was so soon called from
the objects of her affections and consigned to the si
lent tomb. No more will we see her graceful form
move through the family circle—no more will that
sweet voice be heard—nor the merry laugh be heard
by those who will over cherish for her a sacred remem
brance. Yes, Emma, thou art gone to thy long home,
the home to which our mother has already been called.
In the 14th year of her age sho professed faith in
Christ, aad joined the Baptist Church in Athens, Ga.
Her last sickness, which was of three weeks duration,
she bore with much patience. The first two weeks she
seemed very much distressed, and often asked the
friends who watched around her bed, to sing for her,
and one evening while ringing, she raised her hands,
aA P ra . ver i ar *d exclaimed, “oh! how happy I am,”
and then turned to one of her school mates who was
sitting near her, and said, “I want you to be a good
girl and meet me in heaven.” After that time she was
constantly engaged in prayer, and when asked if she
was willing to die, always answered “yes, for I am go
ing home to rest.” Just before she died she said, “I
am so happy,” and after taking leave oi her sisters and
brothers, she fell asleep in the arms of Jesus. We do
not mourn for her as one without hope, for our loss is
her eternal gain. SISTER.
Nearr this city, on the 27th August, Mrs. ELIZABETH
ELLIS, wife of Thomas M. Ellis, being 44 years and
12 days old.
Mrs. Ellis had long been a member of the Macon
Baptist Church ; and died -with assurances of a blessed
immortality. For a year she had been wasting under
the power of that inrideous disease, the Consumption.
At first she had hopes of recovery, and was anxious to
live; but tor sometime previous to her death, she aban
doned hope of recovery and prepared to meet her
change. Ten days before death, she called each of
her family to her bed-side and gave them admontions
and instructions sviited to their several cases. This
done, and she was happy and ready to d'-part.
Her death presents a sad void in a large family. May
God guide them, and may their deaths be like hers—
a falling “ asleep in Jesus.”
In this city, on the 3dinst., WILLIAM, infant son of
Dr. C. B. Nottingham. The Great Shepherd has fold
ed the lamb to his bosom in eternal love and protection.
“ Gan I bring him back again ? I shall go to him, but
lie shall not return to me.”

Depository, one door east of the Lanier House, in the

GROVER & BAKER’S
FAMILY SEWING MACHINES,
Promote the leisure , health and happiness of home.
REASONS WHY THIS MACHINE IS UNIVERSALLY
PREFERRED OVER ALL OTHERS.
1 BECAUSE it is the only Sewing Machine in the
• world ever invented, so constructed as to fully
meet the demands of families, for general use.
2. It is very simple and is never liable to get out of
order.
3. It makes a seam which will notrip, though every
third stiich is cut.
4. It i- not a Shuttle Machine.
6. Itsews with two needles, making any length stitih
desired.
6. It sews from two ordinary spools, and thus all
trouble of winding thread is avoided ; while the same
Machine can be adapted at pleasure, by a mere change
of spools, to all vaiieties of work.
7. The same Machine runs silk or linen thread, and
common spool cotton, with equal facility.
8. This Machine will sew in the slieves pf a coat with
the same ease and facility that it sews a straight seam.
9. This Machine can be run to make one thousand
five hund'cd stitches per minute.
10. The seams are elastic as the most elastic fa
bric, so that it is free from all liability to break in wash
ing, ironing or otherwi.-e.
11. The stitches made by this machine are more
beautiful than any other made either by hand or ma
chine. For sale by
