nation in this State. Look, brethren,
at what she lias already done. Is what
she has done to be despised ? Just
reverse if it were possible what Mercer
has done, and what would be the con
dition of the Georgia Baptist churches ?
Take the catalogue of graduates in your
hand, and the map of Georgia before
you and see how many cities and large
towns in Georgia would be left without
pastors. Nearly half the churches in
the prominent towns and cities in the
State, are served by ministers educated
at Mercer University. Many of the
number are graduates, many well edu
cated though not graduates, yet they
are among our ablest and most useful
ministers. llow could we get along
without these?
Though the least part of the business

precious faith has been assailed, some
: them have achieved wonderful re
- .Its on the field of controversy. Is
it not important brethren, when our
-. nets are grossly assailed to have fight
ing men f —that is, men who are quali
t-i to defend our views successfully?
I .i*ugh it may be a long time before
all our churches shall be supplied with
a thoroughly educated ministry, and

absolutely necessary, yet with what
Mercer has already under the blessing
: God accomplished, we may hope

SELYTE BAPTISM.
The Books say so. But as a lady ob
- erred in regard to infant baptism, “It
•'- so j’rin in the Catechism /” but let

‘he .few; asked John why he baptized,
‘not Christ, Elias or that prophet?

the sacred writers are never used inter

Fastday Proposed.
We doubt not that the following action
the Bj*ust Church in Albany will be
-x-otided by other Churches. We have
Ji along contended for prayer instead of
ukind words, as the best means of set
tling difficulties between brethren:
Albaxt, Nov. 30th, 1858.
Bear Bro. Walker, At a recent meeting
• i the BajAist Church in this place, the
: blowing Resolutions were offered by
Brother C. D. Mallary, and unanimously
adopted by the Church.
Resolved, That we as a Church agree
to ~et apart the first day of January next
as a day of humiliation, tasting and prayer,
that trod may revive his work in our
■ids, and that he may be pleased during
the coming year to pour out his spirit in
man wonderful measures than ever before
upon the Chnrches in our land, and upon
all his people throughout the world.
Resolved, That we greatly deplore the
unhappy divisions and alienation of Chris
tian affection that exist amongst many of
our denomination, and that on the Fast
day above named, we will endeavor to
make it a matter of special prayer that
God will grant unto us all a spirit of for
bearance, meekness and humility, that he
would by his own unerring wisdom, in
cline the hearts and minds of our Breth
ren every where to the things that make
for peace, with us all in the bonds of truth,
and love, and harmonize our labors for
the advancement of the Redeemers king
dom amongst men.
Resolved, % That we affectionately and
specially request our Brethren in Nash
ville, who have for sometime been invol
ved in peculiar difficulties and trials, to
unite with us and with others who may
approve our suggestions in earnest prayer
for the Saviour’s blessing upon his beloved
Zion.
Resolved, That we affectionately and
earnestly request the Brethren of our
State, and of sister States, as far as may
be practicable to unite with us, and with
one another on the day above named, and
with reference to the objects specified.
Resolved, That our Beloved Pastor, C.
M. Irvin, together with Brethren Lott,
Warren, and D. A. Vason, be a Commit
tee to prepare a short address, calling the
attention of sister Churches to the objects
embraced in the above resolutions, and
and with the resolutions to be published
in the Christian Index, and such other
papers as may be favorable to the plan
proposed.
The Committee named in the last reso
lution think it unnecessary to do more
than invite the attention of Brethren
generally to the objects specified in
the above resolutions. Surely above
Christian will respond and say, let us
unite with our Brethren in fasting and
prayer on the day named, that the Holy
Spirit may be poured out in abundant
measures upon all the Churches, and peace
and harmony be speedily restored. The
undersigned would most affectionately
request every Pastor to read, or have read
before his Church the above resolutions
.as soon as practicable.

Principia non Homines.
This was the doctrine which the apos
tle Paul argued with such mighty power
upon the partians in the Church at Co
rinth. It is applicable in every age, and
especially-to the Baptists of Georgia at
this time. Such is the blindness of party
spirit, that good men under its influence
can say; “I am of Paul, and lof Apollos,
and I of Cephas,” and still suppose that
they are doing right. They forget the
frail, erring character of their chosen
leaders —forget that it is the glory of Bap
tists to adhere to the principles of Jthe
New Testament, and acknowledge no man
as leader, or as infallible. Here is a se
rious wrong. Principles, not men should
be our motto.
All men are fallible; and those who
aspire to leadership become vain, and
fall into many serious errors. To follow
them with the unquestioning confidence
which party spirit dictates, is to flatter
their vanity, partake of their errors, and
sin against God.
All violent partisans become subservient
to the dicta of their chosen leaders, and
are always involved, sooner or later, in
serious errors. A Baptist should fear
the approach of that state of mind, in
which he can say, I am, an A.’s, or a B.’s
man. Let him remember that his princi
ples require him to be Christ’s disciple,
and to call no man master.
Party spix-it; idolatry of men ; injures
not only those under its influence, but
prompts them to injure all persons and en
terprises, which may in their estimation
stand in the way of the plans and central
ization of their leaders, or which do not
readily yield wholly to those plans and
purposes. Thus, they injure, eventually,
their own dearest interests, and the inter
ests of their denomination. The spirit,
men, not principles, is a blind, a dictatorial,
a cruel, an appressive spirit.
Itjs easy to be a partisan and accomplish
all the evil of such a position, but it is
right to follow Christ only, adhere to
principles not to men. Men may change;
they will die ; but the principles of divine
truth neither change nor die.

EDITORIAL SUMMARY.
<M
We are indebted, as we suppose, to our
friend Siegfried, of Western Virginia, for
Minutes of the Parkersburg, Union, Broad
Run, Judson, Mount Pisga, and North-
Western Virginia Associations. By the
way, brother S., now that the Recorder,
after a lingering illness has departed this
life, and, as wc hope, its funeral expenses
are all paid up, why can we not have a few
subscribers to the Index on our old stam
ping ground ?
The Bible Union Quarterly has been re
ceived, and, as usual, it abounds with use
ful matter.
Jesse Robinson is informed that his
last credit is to No. 27, 1855. The
amount due at this time is SB,OO.
We take this method of informing our
esteemed brother Murphy, of Buena Vis
ta, that the proceedings of the Conven
tion with reference to Sabbath Schools,
did not reach us until twelve days after
they were written, and on the day they
came, we heard of brethren Perryman and
Durham returning from the convention
at Memphis. This delay, therefore, until
after the Memphis convention had ad
journed, will sufficiently account for their
not appearing.
Jere. H. Brown, Esq., of Ala., has of
fered to support as many as fifty-one theo
logical students at Howard College, allow
s2so to each one.
“L. D. Woottec.”—lf there is unques
tionable evidence of true repentance , such
a man might be restored, but the church
would better be cautious.
The Minutes of the Houston Baptist
Association have been received. Intro
ductory sermon was preached by Rev. S.
D. Everett. Rev. J. B. Deavors was
elected Moderator, and Rev. S. D. Ever
ett, Clerk.
As the next issue will close the volume
for 1858, and two weeks will elapse before
the first number for 1859 will be forth
coming, correspondents will know why
their contributions may not appear as
early as heretofore.
Several standing advertisements have
been omitted this week to make room for
the reading matter which has accumulat
ed on our hands.
We think it probable that in transfer
ring names from pencil lists taken at As
sociations, some mistakes may have been
made. If any persons have not received
their papers, we will forward as soon as
informed of the failure.
The correspondents of Rev Wm. 11. Da
vis, will address him in future at Waynes
boro, Ga.
V. A. 8., Dalton, you are properly cre
dited.
The advertisement for a young minis
ter in a previous number is withdrawn—
place being supplied.
MOTICES—IIEPHZIBAH MINUTES.
The churches of the Ilephzibah Asso
ciation are notified that their minutes
may be found at the Drug Store of Plumb
& Leitner, of Augusta.
Such churches as do not take their min
utes in six weeks will have them sent to
them. CLERK.
REIIOBOTH ASSOCIATION.
The Executive Committee arc hereby
notified to meet on Thursday the 16th

Room of the Baptist Church in the city

Choice Extracts.
Noble Expectations. —“l have taken the In
dex for a number of years, and expect to take
it as long as I live.”
The Nashville Rupture. —“o how I mourn
over that rupture. There are good brethren
on both sides whom I can not give up.”
The Way to Please. —“ Please send the
Index to the six following new subscribers,
and please find enclosed $.12,00 This is some
of the fruit of our late revival.”
Backing a Compliment. —“I am not in the
habit of complimenting editors much, nor any
body else except my —; but I must depart
a little from my usual rule, and say that I
have been specially gratified with a few of the
late numbers of the Index. Your disposition
of the Nashville affair, is to my mind admirable,
and if you succeed as well with’every knotty
matter, you will well deserve the commenda
tion, ‘’well done, thou good and faithful ser
vant.” Now let me back my compliment with
a little thing that I am sure will please you —
$2.00 from anew subscriber : Mr. Benj. It.
Smith, Albany, Ga.”
Doctrines in Pairs. —The N. Y. Examiner
speaks as follows of Dr. Crawford’s new
work:—
“In this well-written volume we find traces of
profound reflection on the great facts pertain
ing to man’s history and redemption. The
writer has drawn out his thoughts in a series
of chapters, each one of which embodies a pair
of Christian doctrines, placed in their some
what paradoxical relations to each other.
Among these we may mention “The Christian
is dead yet alive, “Buried yet risen again,”
“Justified yet forgiven,” “The Cln-istian is
poor and yet rich,” “A slave and yet free,”
“His duties on earth, his citizenship in hea
ven.” The topics are all discussed with ear
nestness and clearness, in the spirit of a ripe
theologian and devout Christian.”
Encouraging :— “Hamilton, Ga., Nov. 25,
1858. —Dear Bro. Walker.—Your editorial
in the last Index in reference to the Nashville
controversy, is certainly wise and well timed,
and meets the unqualified approbation of many
brethren in our section. What propriety can
there be in Georgia Baptists interfering in
this unpleasant affair ? Our help on neither
side is needed. Neither party is wanting in
ability to maintain their respective positions,
as you have shown. Let it then be confined
to Nashville, and let us attend to our affairs
at home and we will not be entangled in it
and the breach will be healed the sooner.”
“Dr. Baumback in his travels on the cape
of Good Hope says : I found very frequently
among the Dutch Boors of the back country,
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral , which they keep hung
up by a thong around the neck of the bottle to
a peg over their hammocks. Indeed this
seems to be their sole protection against the
throat and lung disorders which are quite pre
valent among them. I thought it a speaking
comment on the practical genius of the Ame
rican people, that they should furnish the sta
ple, I believe the only remedy this people buy
to use. Asking if they used the same manu
facturers Pills, they told me that better pur
gatives grew all around them than any body
could prepare.
Ncaulrality. — “Allow me to say that through
the bitter personal controversy carried on by
other religious papers, I am rejoiced to give
you my earnest expression of approbation at
the neutral course pursued by the Index.”
A good hope :—“I hope to get some other
new subscribers by the first of January.”
Cure for the Heart :—“lt does my heart
good to see that you do not take sides in that
Nashville affair. What is to become of us,
God only knows.”
News from the Churches.
Augusta, Nov. 29th, 1858.
Dear Bro. Walker :—lt is my heartfelt
pleasure to advise you and the readers of the
Index, of a glorious revival at Abilene church,
Columbia county. The revival commenced on
the first Sabbath in this month and continued
for upwards of two weeks, resulting in the ad
dition of fifteen t* the church, among whom
were four who had previously united with the
Methodist Society, but had never professed
conversion until during this meeting, and who
having read; 1 ‘Theodosia Ernest,” were lead to
investigate the word of God, and to obey His
command, by being “buried with Christ in
baptism.”
Inconsequence of the illness of their beloved
Pastor Rev. I. L. Brooks, Br o. G. N. Cliett
concluded the meeting with the Christian zeal
and energy, for which he is justly noted. It
was truly a gracious outpouring of God’s Holy
Spirit in their midst.
“May God’s Free Grace abound
His name be glorified.”
W..
I have baptized, within the year, 25 —7
whites, and 18 colored persons.
Yours truly, JOS. S. BAKER.

DIED.
In this place on Thursday evening 2d inst., after
a long and protracted illness, MARY E., wife of
Dr. Arrington, in the 30th year of her age. She
was received into the Baptist church, some 12
years since uuder the ministration of Rev. Robert
F. Fleming. Peace to her ashes. B.
Tennessee Baptist please copy.
Died at his residence in Dooly co., on the 28th
inst., after a protracted and severe illness, JAS. S.
BEALLE, 48 years of age. Early in life he attach
ed himself to the Baptist church, living a consis
tent and exemplary member—ever ready to pro
mote the cause of his Savior in whose confidence
he lived. During his sickness, when racked with
pain to the extent that mortals are disposed to
murmur and complain, he trusted his Savior, and
said come quickly my Lord, and let thy servant be
at rest. A FRIEND.
Died at their residence in Lee co., on Sunday
morning the 28th of Nov., Mrs. CAMILLA M.
MOUGHOX, wife of Thomas H. Moughon in the
38th year of her age.
How solemnly does this sudden death remind us
‘Dust we are and untotlust we shall return!’ But a
few days ago, the deceased was in the enjoyment
of health, and devoting herself with her accustom
ed energy, to the management of her domestic
concerns. The deceased was a Christian ! And at
the time of her death a worthy member of the
Baptist church. But she is no more on the earth,
for God has taken her to himself. Her last days
of physical suffering, but in the midst of them all,
was permitted to realize her acceptance with God,
and enjoy bright anticipations of rest in Heaven.—
She leaves behind her a husband crushed in spirit,
and six children, whose loss cannot be easily re
paired in this world. “Blessed are the dead who
die in the Lord.” M.

they have loved from childhood, side by side with
those of more recent date. Among them will be

A CARD
THE undersigned feels it his duty to render
thanks to the citizens of Houston and adjoin
ing counties, for their liberal and extensive patron
age. While he begs a continuance of their favors,
he will state to those who do not know him, that
many years practice in the principal cities of the
South and a complete Dental Laboratory, enable
him to make as elegant and perfect Dental substi
tutes of the most approved and latest style, as
can be furnished by any Dentist in the State.
A WORD ABOUT THE
“CHEAP STYLE OF WORK.”
Persons needing Dental Operations or Artificial
Teeth, and not able to pay me my regular prices,
may feel assured that I will rather share my pro
fits with them than “accommodate” them with a
cheap, or inferior style of work, as such will never
give satisfaction, and is the dearest in the end.
All persons desiring my services will please call
at my Residence, in Perry, where they will find
all the comforts of a first-rate Dental Office. Fam
ilies living at a distance may procure my services
by giving me notice.
Dentists will find a large assortment of the best
materials, for filling Teeth, as well as for making
artificial sets, at Nothern prices.

Female University.
FORSYTH, MONROE COUNTY, GA.
FOR eight years, under its present organiza
tion, this flourishing Institution has enjoyed
the increasing confidence and support of an intel
ligent public. Its patrons are of that class whose
opinions on education ought to command the
highest respect.
The Board of Instruction are thorough scholars
and experienced teachers, three of whom gradu
ated with honor, at Mercer University.
This too, is a
BENEVOLENT SCHOOL,
where the daughters of Ministers of the Gospel of
moderate means, are educated without CHARGE
FOR TUITION; and the daughters of indigent
preachers, and worthy orphans, will likewise be
boarded at from 25 to 50 per cent less than the
usual rates.
This arrangement will not fail to commend it
self to the Christian and the patriot.
Here, too, habits of
ECONOMY
are promoted, and all EXTRAVAGANCE RE
STRAINED.
fMTThe wearing of Jewelry and costly apparel
is not allowed; nor are pupils permitted to re
ceive the attention of young gentlemen.
The Elementary Branches, Spelling, Reading,
Writing, English Grammar, Arithmetic and Geog
raphy, which are generally neglected in College,
receive special attention throughout the whole
College Course.
