NOVEMBER, 1857, C|f Christian PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY, AT MACON, GA., BY A COMMITTEE OF BRETHREN, FOR THE GEORGIA BAPTIST CONVENTION. Preaching Appointments. Brother James Barron will preach at the following times and places as follows: On November 19th, at Bethel church, Mer riwether county ; on Friday, at Friendship; Saturday and Sunday, at Antioch ; Monday, at Madison ; Tuesday, Valley Grove, Talbot county ; Wednesday, at Shiloh, Harris coun ty ; Thursday, at Cuthbert; Saturday at Beach Spring ; Sunday at Union; Monday, at Longreen, Troup county ; Tuesday, at An tioch. The brethren of the above named churches are requested to make the above appointments as public as possible. The 7oung Men’s Christian Associ ation. This Association has made arrangements to to have a course of Literary Lectures de livered in this city during the present winter. The object is to elevate the taste and im prove the morals of our people generally, and especially of our young men. Distinguished gentlemen in different parts of the State have been invited to Lecture. It is hoped that our citizens will appreciate this worthy effort for their pleasure and improvement. Let the lectures from the opening to the close be ful ly attended by the taste and learning of the city, and especially let the ladies see to it that the speakers are encouraged. Prof. H. H. Tucker, of Mercer University, has consented to deliver one of the series on the third Tuesday night in December next. The opening will be made this evening, (Tuesday,) in the Baptist church, at 7 o’clock, by Hon. Eugenius A. Nisbet. It will be seen from the obituary in this paper, that death has removed the son of Dr. J. S. Baker, former Editor of the In dex. We offer brother Baker our sympathies and condolence in this hour of sorrow. May God ever afford him that grace and those con solations which shall sustain until the period of his own dismissal from earth to heaven. A brother writes us, “ I want you to state in our paper what kind of money will pass, as I can’t refuse to pay for such a wel come messenger, -which brings glad tidings of great joy to me every Saturday.’’ We thank our brother for his kind words, and say, that any Georgia or South Carolina bills which were good before the bank suspen sion, are taken nowj in payment for the In dex. Mercer University. The number of students admitted this term is larger than ever before except once, and that was several years ago. Thirteen of the students and a number of other persons in Penfield have recently been added to the church by Jjaptism. Avery general interest is felt on the subject of religion, and we learn from a private source that students were never more orderly and diligent. Sander’s Professorship. The prudential committee of the Board of Trustees of Mercer University, take great pleasure in making it known that they have engaged the services of brother JohnE. Daw son as agent for the Sander’s Professorship. Owing to the financial embarrassments of the country, the committee have thought it best to wait a few months before sending brother Dawson into the field. Oct. 31, 1857. For the Index. Brother Walker : —Will you or some other brother, for my satifaction and that of others, answer the following questions through the Index? If a Missionary Baptist church was to be come dissatisfied with any article of the con stitution of the Association to which she be longed, and request the Association to change said article, saying that if it should not be al tered, she would withdraw from the body ; would such a church be doing right, unless she had previously applied for a letter of dis mission, and been denied one ? And farther, could another Association lawfully receive a church that had left an Association under such circumstances ? H. PADGETT. Perhaps some brother who is acquainted with the circumstances to which our brother Padgett alludes, will answer the above ques tions. There is a right or wrong way to do everything, and it is not difficult to find the direction of the right way when we patiently seek for it. We could answer the queries, but as there may be peculiar tacts and circum stances connected with them, we hesitate for want of light. An editor sometimes falls in to hot water before he intends to, and though we ai e not afraid of water, we prefer a medi um temperature. Missionary Wanted. The Washington Association at its late ses sion adopted the following resolution : Resolved , That a committee of five be appointed, who shall have power to select a Missionary for Central Africa, and recom mend him to the Board at Richmond. The committee of five appointed under the third resolution think that there will be no difficnlty in raising the sum proposed, pro vided a suitable man can be obtained as Mis sionary. We wish to hear immediately from such brethren as feel it to be their duty to carry the bread of life to the perishing mil lions of Africa, that a selection may be made and that the brother selected may visit all the churches of our Association before he leaves his native land. Please address me at Penfield, Ga, L. R. L. JENNINGS, Ch’n. EDITORIAL SUMMARY. The Texas Baptist , of Oct. 7th, reports a number of baptisms at Gilmer, and several at Waco. r* . When we noticed the fact, a few weeks since, that the town of Charlottesville, Va., was lighted with gas, we of course concluded that the streets were supplied with gas light; but we learn from the Jeffersonian that such is not the case. A correspondent suggests several corners as suitable places for lamps, among them corners in the direction of the Methodist and Episcopal churches. In our opinion the most important corner for such a light, is the corner of the new Baptist church, that physical hght and divine light may blend in beautiful effulgence. The Baptist Watchman has an interesting editorial on the recent meeting of the Gen eral Association of East Tennessee. About S3OOO were pledged to liquidate the debts of the Mossy Creek and Jonesboro schools.— “ Ways and means” were also devised to fill the Domestic Mission treasury. The Tennessee Baptist has finally “suspend ed”—the publication of long and badly writ ten articles, we mean. We have been at this business nearly all of the passing year. If the press generally would but adopt this plan, both thinking and writing would be improved by it. We wish once more to inform our con tributors, that articles sent without the per son’s full name cannot be admitted. It is much easier for the writer to give his name— even if he wishes to appear over a fictitious signature, than it is for us to guess out ini tals, or judge by the hand writing who it is. While we are glad to receive brief and well written articles from all of our patrons, we wish it distinctly understood, that we feel under no obligations to publish for those who do not take the paper, though we sometimes do it. Almost every Baptist in the State has use for the Index in the course of the year : why not subscribe for it then ? Brother R. M. Stell, ol La., is informed that we have not the means of giving him the information he seeks in relation to Tern perance papers. Mr. W. T. 11. Scott, a graduate of Mer cer University in the class of 1856, Principal of the Greensboro Academy, has been elec ted to the Professorship of Mathematics and Experimental Philosophy in the Mount Leba non College, La. We feel sure of his success in teaching these branches from his past pop ularity as an instructor, and the Mercer has the honor of seeing another of her stars ra diating its light from a flourishing Institution of learning. TnE degree of N. G., (no gentlemen) has recently been conferred on the Rev. B. Will iams, of London, by the editor of the Illinois Baptist. We hope that our worthy confere will lose no time in sending on the diploma. ISP’ Hands off, gentleman, unless you know what you are doing. The following from the Examiner indicates work for the fi nal committee of the Bible Union. Dr. Crow ell’s revision may need revising: Christian Review. The October number of the Christian Re uiew has come to hand. We have time to make only one remark, viz : that the criticism in the first article is founded on a singular grammatical error. The writer, strangely enough, confonnds the simple Future and the Future with Vav conversive ,’ to prove that the former is used “ with the significance of past time,” he cites (p. 497, at the top,) Gen. 1 : 4, 10, 12, 18, 21, 25 ; 3: 6 ; 29 : 2 ; 31 : 2 ; but in all these passages, the form of the verb is the converse Future , ( the Future with Vav conversive ) the usual historic tense in He brew. f We are truly gratified that Georgia and Alabama are so well supplied with Female schools. We extract the following from the Auburn, (Ala.) Gazette : The Schools in La Grange. There has never been so fine a prospect of thoroughly educating young ladies in La Grange, Ga., as now. We are not so well in formed as to the Methodist school under the charge of Prof. Connor ; but in reference to the College, presided over by Profs. John A. Foster and Henry E. Brooks, we speak know ingly when we assert, it has no superior in the South. Its discipline is perfect—its standard of scholarship high—its system inductive and thorough, and in all that relates to education, this Institution of learning is par negoliis, ne que supra —neither above nor below its busi ness. It fills the standard of duty and expec tation, and works out its own fame by practi cal demonstration. There are now in school near one hundred young ladies in the college department, besides the primaries. They come from nearly all the Southern States and represent mostly the intellectual and wealthy classes. One item in this College of importance to parents is the strict watch kept over the ex penditures of the young ladies. They are not allowed to contract any debts, nor to make any purchase unless in the presence of their governess. This is a valuable regula tion, these “ hard times.” We know where of we affirm. In a few words : If we had a girl to educate and had to send her from home, we had rather have her in the South ern Female College, at La Grange, than in any other institution of learning in the whole limits of the South. Men are frequently real strength and goodness are not properly drawn out until they have been a short time in hot water. THE CHRISTIAN INDEX. For the Index. ASSOCIATIONAL. Coosa Association —Hearn School. Bro. Walker —I had the pleasure of attend ing the late session of the Coosa Association, held at Shilo Church, Walker county, em bracing the Second Sabbath of this month.— Bro. E. Dyer was re-elected Moderator. He has served the body in this capacity for the last 18 or 20 years. This is a rare instance of appreciated worth and unbroken attachment. Such are worthy of note. The session was a harmonious one and promised usefulness. A permanent mission was established among the Cherokees, and Bro. David S. Fareman, a na tive Indian, adopted as a missionary to labor in that field, to be supported by the Association. Resolutions urging the duty of Family Pray er, and the necessity of greater effort in Sab bath School instruction were passed. On Sabbath an able discourse was deliver ed by Prof. Rambaut, ofCassville, on the dis tinction principles of Baptists, as a denomi nation. In the afternoon Bro. J. M. Wood, of Cedar Town, preached a touching discourse which melted the hearts of many of his hear ers. A large and attentive audience will long remember these efforts. A good portion of Monday was occupied in urging the claims of Cassville College, Woodland Female College at Cedar Town and Hearn School at Cave. Spring. Resolu tions recommending these Institutions were passed. The following are those in relation to Hearn School: Ist. The Hearn School at Cave Spring has been founded in Baptist liberality and cared for by Baptists around it at great personal sacrifice and toil. 2d. “It is easy in its monetary affairs, and affords to pupils, ample facilities for an edu cation, especially in a thorough preparatory course before entering College.’’ 3d. “It will be presided over the ensuing year by Brother A. J. King, A. M., who is well known to our people. The Institution merits and should share liberally the patron age of our brethren.” Something over SSOO was sent up for be nevolent purposes. Truly, yours, CHEROKEE. Ebenezer Association. Bro. Walker —Another anniversary of the Ebenezer Association has past. This body convened with the church at Antioch, Twiggs county, at its regular time of meeting, Sat urday, in connexion with 3d Lord’s day inst.. was organised by re-electing Rev. Henry Bunn Moderator, Rev. W. D. Horne, Clerk. Quite a full representation from each and all the churches composing this body. Many of their letters breathed forth the cheering intel ligence of the mighty working spirit, and many have been added during the past As sociational year. The usual invitation having courteously been extended to visiting Minis ters and members. We were glad to find amongst us as such our good and faithful old worthies at their post, who cordially accepted the invitation, and seated with us, and joined us in our deliberations, to-wit: Rev. J. 11. Campbell, Rev. Fuller and Scriven, who we are glad to announce addressed the meeting on the subject of their important missions with the zeal and Christian deportment, may their labor not be in vain ; beside their own good and long cherished old Bro. and (once our neighbor) Rev. Hiram Powel and young Bro. Rev. Warren, who by the by is no small man in his vocation, likewise accepted the in vitation, and aided us with their ministerial labor with the zeal and marked ability, which labor we trust, will be sanctified to our friends who happily heard them. We were made glad to see a growing desire manifest in the convertion of our Red men, are may be seen in the committees’ reports which will appear in our minutes, our Missionaries hands will be supplied, whose labor to the Indian tribe has already given sufficient evidence of God’s sanction to the Holy work; besides other fields of foreign labor, it will be seen that we are not forgetful of our destitution within our own bounds—but have, and support a Domes tic Missionary whose report tells favorable for this cause also—we are glad to add that not withstanding the panic which grew up amongst some few churches, some year or two past in regard to the organization of anew Association, to be designated: “ The South ern Association,” which embraces a large por tion of our original field of labor. Some of those churches which had withdrawn from us to organize as above alluded to have met us and returned their letters who are new mem bers with us, together with one or more new ly constituted churches. Upon the whole, our meeting was one of harmony and usual interest—largely attended, with good order. And let it be said to the credit of the church at Antioch with which this body have assem bled, and the vicinity round and near it, that we have not seen within the scope of our con nexion with the Baptist churches, a more am ple and plenteous provision on any occasion of like character; nor have we visited any settlement or church people more mag nanimous. May God abundantly reward them for all favors so kindly shown. MARION. October 26, 1857. Received October 26th, from Hephzibah Association, by the hands of Rev. J. H. Camp bell, sixty-six dollars and twenty-five cents ($66,25). J. DELOACHE, Treasurer G. B. B. & C. Society- By the Rev. D. H. Moore, on Tuesday evening 27th of OctAfeer, Mr. SAMUEL J. WATLEY and Miss J. T. HARP, all of Pike county, Ga. By Rev. Lewis Solomon, on the morning of the 25th at the house of William S. Lingo, Esq., in Twiggs county, JAMES H. LOFTON, Esq., of the coun ty of Troup, to Mrs. ELIZABETH P. ROGERS, of .the county of Sumter, Ga. On the 25th ult., by Dr. Sherwood, in Griffin, Mr. ISRAEL PUTNAM to Miss PORTER, all of Griffin. On the morning of the 23d Sept., by the Rev. Joseph S. Baker, E. G. JANDON, jr. to Miss SARAH J. CUR RY. On the 12th Oct., by Rev. Joseph S. Baker, JOHN D. McKINLAY to Miss SARAH J., eldest daughter of Elias G. JANDON. DIED. The uncertainty of all human calculations has been very strikingly illustrated in the death of WM. BER NARDO BAKER, son of Elder Joseph S. Baker. His father had just started him in the mercantile business in Jacksonville, Fla. He opened his store on the Ist inst., received his principal supply of goods on the 14th, opened them on the 15th, was taken sick on the 16th, and died calm and resigned on the 19th, expressing a cheering hope of meeting in heaven his departed moth er and sister and brother. He had been five years a member of the*Baptist church, and would have attained to the age of 21 had he lived but one month more. Died, on the 12th inst., at 9 P. M., at his residence near Brooksville, in Randolph county, Rev. B. F. CLEVELAND. He was born 26 Nov. 1810—professed the religion of Jesus Christ in 1838, commenced preach ing the Gospel in 1839. He died happy, in full hope of a glorious immortality where sickness and sorrow never come. May He who ever worketh all things together for good to those that love the Lord, sustain by his divine grace and power the bereaved partner and children oi him of whom it may be truly said, none knew him but to love ; none named him but to praise. And although his sun at noon has set, its light shall linger around us yet—Bright, glorious, blessed. J. E. B. Nochway, Oct. 23, 1857. Died, at the residence of her son-in-law, Col. D. W. Morgan, near LaGrange, Ga., on the Bth inst., in the 54 th year of her age, Mrs CAROLINE MATILDA BAT TLE, daughter of Sampson Duggar, Esq., and widow of the late Dr. Andrew Battle. In the death of this truly estimable lady, it may well be said that the community of which she was was a cit izen has sustained a loss of no ordinary character. Ear ly impressed with the truths of Christianity, she sought and obtained comfort in the religion of Jesus. A com municant of the Baptist church for a number of years, she lived up to its requirements in all things, and re joiced in the doctrines of piety and true holiness incul cated by her ministry. She was in truth a Christian. “ She did justice, loved mercy,'and walked humbly be fore God.” Asa daughter she was lovely and obedi ent ; as a wife, she was affectionate and devoted. To her children she was a mother of priceless value. In her early years she taught them lessons of virtue and knowledge, and inculcated by precepts and example the sublime truths of the religion she possessed. To her servants she was humane and indulgent; and they will long remember with gratitude and affections the tenderness and kindness of their mistress. Asa friend, jjhe was sincere and confiding. Objects of poverty and affliction were subjects of her tenderest care and sym pathy. The brows of mercy wrung with pain and an guish have been soothed by the touch of her hand of benevolence, and many hearts laden with poverty and destitution have been made to rejoice with the munifi cence of her charity. Her hands were ever open to their wants and necessities, and her breast sympathized with them in wretchedness and want. But “ Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and feared no more.” LaGrange, Sept. 12, 1847. R. BOWDEN COLEEGIATE I 3ST S T I T U T IO IXT. BOWDEN, CARROLL COUNTY, GEORGIA.
