Our Southern Baptict Oonyen-
TION—SHALL If BE DISSOLVED?
Bro. “Walker In Index of
March 9th, an ari&se> written
by the distinguished President of Mer
cer University, Dr. Crawford, grave y
proposing to dissolve our Southern
Baptist Convention. Had the objec
tions urged by Dr. C. against our Mis
sionary “ Machinery” come from t e
pen of Gilbert Bebee, or Samuel Trott,
or any other champion of JLetocktonisrn
or Kehukeeism , it might have been
suffered to pass without public notice,
especially as all the positions tajjeaj££~
Dr. a wero answered twenty Or
thirty years ago, when assumed by
those who sought to crush the
arj spirit, when it began to be felt
among the Baptists of the United
I States. Such objections had been so
effectually refuted, as almost entirely
to have lost their influence. But com
ing as they now do, from one who has
all along been identified with the Mis
sionary enterprise, they must again be
examined.
I pass by all that is introductory,
in the article referred to, and come at
once, and in his own order, to Dr. C.’s
objections:
1. “It [our present system] is un
known to the Gojpel.” This, among
Baptists, who justly glory in deriving
their religious polity from the sayings
and doings of the primitive'disciples,
—ia-tr I glory in
this appeal to primitive times as much
as Dr. C. himself, or any other Baptist.
But is it not obvious that this fact, if
indeed it be a fact, is to be applied to
subsequent ages of the church with
some limitations ? If we must aban
don everything “ unknown to the Gos
pel,” we must give up our Sunday
Schools, our Colleges, indeed all insti
tutions not expressly provided for by
the Gospel. In this respect, it seems
to me that our “ Anti-mission” breth
ren are more consistent than Dr. C.,
for as they can find no “thus saitli the
Lord” to j ustify such institutions, they
have no Colleges nor Sunday Schools,
though even they do not carry out their
doctrine in all things —seeing that they
resort to the Printing Press, a power
“ unknown to the Gospel,” for the pro
pagation of their views of Christianity.
But although I thus speak, I
may remark that Dr. C. mukes a rash
venture, when he affirms that any par
ticular plan for extending the kingdom
of Christ is “ unknown to the Gospel.”
That the Disciples were encouraged
by the Apostolic preachers to aid in
sending the Gospel abroad is very e vi
olent—and that they obeyed the exhor
tation and contributed for this purpose,
is also evident from the commendations
given them for such work. But by
what sort of “ machinery” their con
r tfibwtiono were gathered, the record
does not state. It would take far-less
of fancy, it appears to me, to conjec
ture that there were Agents appointed
[ to collect funds, and executive officers
to appropriate them, than to imagine
that the brethren acted in so a
work without any plan at all. Ai I
said above, however, no plan for car
rying on Mission work is laid down in
the sacred records—and until Dr. C.
can show wherein our plan violates
either the spirit or letter of the scrip
tures, I protest against his emphatic
assertion, that our plan is “ unknown
to the Gospel.”
2. Dr. C.’s second objection is, that
“ the system is unnecessary,” The
only proof he gives of this is, that “the
Apostles and early Christians without
it, fully discharged their duty, and pro
mulgated the Gospel over immense
regions in an incredibly short space of
time.” How here are two things ta
*ken for granted—first, that the “ Apos
tles and early Christians” had not some
system substantially similar to ours—
and that they promulgated the Gospel
in 50 years, over a wider space of earth
than those who have for that length of
time been engaged in this work in this
age. “We have no details of what was
done by the Apostles and early Chris
tians, towards supplying the whole
earth with the knowledge of Christ—
but it is very certain that if every prov
ince then known to exist was visited
by the Christians of the Apostolic age,
the “regions” thus visited, were scarce
ly less “ immense,” than those visited
by the “ Machinery ” of modem times.
More successful they may have been,
in winning souls; for success is of the
Lord, and not ot man—but surely their
. - -labors covered no wider a field than
that at present within the range of
Modem Missions.
- 3.'aDr. C.’s third objection is, “ the
system has been ineffectual.” We
may well lament that so little has been
done towards bringing tne nations to
bow to the sceptre of Jesus. Perhaps
we ought to attribute our want of
greater success to our unfaithfulness,
or to some defect in the motives by
which we have been influenced. Still,
I confess that our efforts thus far, ap
pear to me to be far, very far, from
“ ineffectual.” Is it nothing that in
India, thousands have been converted
and gathered into churches, many of
whom are preaching the Gouael to
tKelr heathen relatives ? Is it OTihing
that China and Africa have been en
tered, and the Gospel standard planted
there? Is it nothing that in many
parts of Europe where Christianity Jbftd
become so corrupt as to be little bet-
ter than paganism, evangelical preach
ers are successfully contending with
hoary errors that were once thought
almost invincible? Is it nothing that
the Bible has been translated (and
mainly by Baptists) into languages
spoken by more than half the popula
tion of the earth? Verily, when we
consider what we have had to contend
with, both from without and within,
the measure of our success is almost
marvellous. It satisfies many who
once were sceptical, that the hand of
the Lord has been with us.
Dr. C.
in system is a
failure. But how dares Dr. Wayland,
or Dr. C. to charge all the discord,
strife, variance and-wrangling, abroad
and at home, to the “ Missionary* sys-’
tem?” There was wrangling among
the Apostles themselves,- and much
strife and discord among the Disciples
of their age. Would it be fair to at
tribute all such discord to the ‘system’
under which the “ early Christians”
labored for the spread of the Gospel ?
By no means. All enterprises in which
human agency is employed, may be
expected in their progress, to exhibit
various signs of imperfection. Apos
tolic authority; aided by all the inspi
ration they had in forming their “sys
tems,” could not prevent individual
departures from the spirit of the Gos
pel. the churches of that age,
felljj -fay the Gospel standard,
fn* “ spirituality” as any we can now
find, and we may suppose in “ Mission
ary laborers” as well. But what was
the Apostolic remedy ? Hot to destroy
the system, whatever it may have
been, but to inculcate among the Dis
ciples a more intense sense ot their
obligations to win all men to Christ..
I hope our Brethren will all perceive
that Dr. C. let’s us know in advance,
that if we follow his advice, and “ dis
solve the Southern Convention,” he
has nothing to offer in the place of it.
So said the Anti-mission Baptists, when
we began our work. “We are anxious
(said they) for the spread of the Gos :
pel; but we prefer that the churches
should work in their individual capac
ity. We are opposed to Boards and
salaried Officers, and all kinds of “Ma
chinery.” We asked them to show us
a better way —but as they could not do
so, we were obliged to go forward, and
leave them, not, as the event proved,
to work in their own way for evange
lizing the world ; but to do what they
could to hinder those who had a mind
to the work. *
Dr. C., introduces the Goshen As
sociation as an illustrious instance “ot
success in missionary operations with
out “organization.” How, Brother
Walker, although I am'not a member
of the Goshen Association, I am inti
mately acquainted with that body,and
appreciate their “efficiency” Sew&ueb:
as Dr. C. himself. But he|mistafees al
together the manner of their working.
They have a Board that meets four
times a year, and reports through the
Secretary annually to the body what
has been done. This Board has the
entire control of their mission work,
selecting their own missionaries. For
the foreign field, howevef, they pay to
the Richmond Board what is needful
to sustain certain missionaries which
by an arrangement with the Richmond
Board they agree to support. This
mode of^operation the Convention has
always encouraged, and so far from the
Goshen Association being antagon Stic
to our present system, she is one of our
most efficient co-workers in harrying:
out the plans of the Convention. I
venture-the opinion that she would be
found among the very last, to aban
don our “Southern Convention.”
All Dr. C.’s antecedents prove him
to be a friend to the cause of missions.
Will he allow me to ask with all def
erence, that he will calmly review his
present position of antagonism, and
consider whether he would not dp
the mission cause, better service by
striving to correct whatever is wrong
in the working of our present system,
than by encouraging its sudden over
throw; especialy as he confesses that
he has no substitute to offer.

The very best Washinr Recipe.—
Put the clothes in water, to Avhich a
little soap has been added, and soak
them over night, or longer. This is one
great “secret” of the success of nine out
of ten of the washing “fluids” “mix
tures,” and “machines” which have
been sold over the country for ten years
past. They nearly all prescribe pre
vious soaking of the clothes. If the
people pursuing the old-fashioned mode
of washing, will simply take the pre
caution to throw all the clothing to be
washed into water ten or fifteen hours
before beginning operations, they will
find half the labor of rubbing and poun--
ding saved, in most cases. Water is-pf
itselt a great solvent eveq of the oily,
materials that collect upon clothing
worn in contact with the body—but
time is required to effect the solution.
Every one is aware pf thp gffectof keep

Instructor in Political Economy, Moral and Men
t&l Science.
EDWARD R. DICKSON, Instructor in Ancient
Languages and the Physical Sciences.
D. P. BLACKSTONE, Instructor in Mathematics

RODNEY DENNIS, Instructor in English Lan

R. M. HEARD and LADY, Boarding Department.
It will be the poKcy of the principal to employ
none asTeachers but the most able and
-Srtßient. He takes pleasure in presenting the
names of the learned and accomplished individuals
whose services have been engaged as co-workers in
the great cause of Education.
Mr. Dickson has been, for years, a devoted stu
dent of the classics. His scholarship in this de
partment is unexcelled; while, in other fields, his
researches have been thorough and ample. Asa
Christian gentlemen, an excellent disciplinarian,
and an able teacher; he is equaled by few.
Messrs. Blackstone and Dennis are men of abil
ity andrmuch moral worth. As evidence of thfe
it need only be stated that they taught their way
through College, and obtained its degrees by their
own unaided efforts.
The Course of Study is ample, embracing the
various branches of the ordinary college course.
It is, at the same time, designed to afford the
highest advantages to those who are preparing to
enter any of the college classes. It is progressive
and systematic ; but not stereotyped to be passed
over by every pupil in a fixed period, at a given
number of strides, irrespective of capacity, schol
arship and mental habitude: but that prescribed
for each individual will be -regulated according to
his mental capabilities and contemplated future
course. Acting on theory that boys should learn
ffrst those things which they gFfe to practice when
they become men, they will be required to pay spe
cial attention to those branches of .study that will
fit them for business and the duties of an active
life. , -
The mind is-riftLtieated as
but as a thin—
TTrimc. -A-j-rCTfisto develop its energies—^nniureand
train its expanding -powers ; to mould and guide
aright its various and complex emotions; to bring
into active exercise all its faculties; and to pre
sent in full and just proportions an educated
practical man, and not a graduated dunce or learn
ed automaton. The pupil is taught to think, to
reason, to investigate. He not only learns to
comprehend what is said, but to examine the sub
stratum and understand the reason of the propo
sition.
In the study of the Latin and Greek languages,
pupils are exercised in translating, both orally and
in writing, from the foreign into their vernacular,
and vice versa, until, by repeated and frequent
application, every principle becomes easy, and
every word is rendered familiar. By this and a
careful study of the idioms of the languages, they
become not mere translators, inelegant and inac
curate, but linguists.
The institute is furnished with ample philosophi
cal and chemical apparatus, Mathematical instru
ments, Mineral Cabinet, Maps,’ Skeleton, Physiolo
gical Charts, and a well selected library of several
hundred volumes. To these such additions will
be made as the improvements in science and the
wants of the institution demand. In addition. to
the familiar lectures and illustrations with which
the reeitations and exercises in every department
will be interspersed, extended lectures on various
scientific subjects will be delivered whenever the
circumstances render it necessary or expedient.
The Discipline and rules of conduct will be such
as are recognized and taught in the Sacred Scrip
tures : such as comport with reason and propriety:
and such as are approved by experience and com
mon sense. In short, every pupil will be required
to do right.”
Students from other institutions applying for
n&mbership will be expected to furnish testimo
nials of their moral and student-like deportment.
Tne buildings will be neatly fitted up and thor
oughly renovated, so that nothing in the outfit
will be wanting for convenience and comfort.
By a division of labor, with an efficient faculty
and a limited number of students, Rrownwood, it
is believed, will offer advantages equaled by few
institutions in the land—combining those of the
higher seminary with the best select private school.

THE undersigned feels it his duty to render

Persons needing Dental Operations or Artificial

THE CELEBRATED HOLLAND REMEDY FOR
Dyspepsid —Diseases of the Kidney
—Liver Complaint — Weakness of
any kind—Fever and Ague,
And the various affections consequent upon a
DISORDERED STOMACH OR LlVEK.jgya
Such as Indigestion, Acidity of the Stomach, Col
icky Pains, Heartburn, Loss of Appetite, Despon
dency, Costiveness, Blind and Bleeding Piles. In
all Nervous, Rheumatic, and Neuralgic Affections,
it has in numerous instances proved highly benfi_
cial, and in others effected a decided cure.
This is a purely vegetable compound, prepared
on strictly scientific principles, after the manner
of the celebrated Holland Professor, Boerhave.—
of its great success in most of the Euro
pean States, its introduction into the United States
was intended more especially for those of oar fath
erland scattered here and there over the lace of
this mighty country. Meeting with great success
among them, I now offer it to the American pub
lic, knowing that its truly wonderful medicinal
virtues must be acknowledged.
Generally instantaneous in effect, it finds its way
directly to the seat of life, thrilling and quicken
ing every nerve, raising up the drooping spirit,
and in fact, infusing new health and vigor in the
system.
NOTlCE—Whoever expects to find this a bev
erage will be disappointed ; but to the sick, ‘weak
and low spirited, it will ptove a grateful aromatic
cordial, possessed of singular remedial properties
Caution:
The great popularity of this delightlul Aroma
has induced many imitations, which the public
should guard against purchasing. Bo not pursua
ded to buy anything else until you have given
Boerhave’s Holland Bitters a fair trial. One bot
tle will convince you how infinitely superior it is
to all these imitations.

In the course of the work the author reviews the opinions of
many distinguished men, as Roger Williams,Wesley. Nevin, Cole
ridge, Neander, Bunsen. Augustine, Origen, Cyprian, Anthon,
Pond, Stuart, Bushuell, Robert llall, &c.
The work has already rapidly passed ’ through several
editions , and has received the emphatic approval of many
of the most distinguished clergymen and scholars in the coun
try. Among the numerous testimonials which have been
received are the following
EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS.
Henry J. Ripley , D. /)., Prof. Newton Theol. Inst.
The work bears ample testimony to its author’s extensive read
ing and accurate reflection : it cunnot fail to awaken in a reader
much serious and profitable consideration, and will abundantly
repay the time and attention which it occupies. Kven should a
reader hesitate to adopt the author’s views, he cannot but admire
his spirit It is gratifying to see so much evidence of growing agree
ment among Christians, and to meet with a book so well illustra
ting the candor and the independence which should mark, as well
as guide, the progress of Christian principles.
J. Newton Brown , D. /)., Philadelphia .
It is one of those first-rate books, which it is of great importance
to keep constantly before the public. Its principles are sound. Its
facts will re|Miy perusal. Its spirit is lovely ; its style lucid and
attractive; its images full of the purest light und beauty. Some of
its argumentative illustrations appear to me to possess original and
irresistible force. Indeed I have seldom read a book with more
pleasure. It is full of the 6eeds of things.
George C. Baldwin , D. ZL, Troy , N. Y.
’ I religiously feel two desires. One is, that it may find Its way
into every Baptist family cm the continent; for it will greatly
strengthen their faith and confirm their hope. The other is, that
all candid inquirers after truth, in the directions it discusses, will
give it a foir consideration! for it will assuredly, by the kindness
of its tone, the reliableness of its facts, the scope of its arguments,
and its manly ability, aid them in finding “ the right way of the
Lord.’*
A. C. Kendrick, D. D., Prof. Rochester University , N.Y.
It is a book of genuine and solid merit. It is a clear, scholarly,
and candid statement of the leading distinctive principles of our
denomination, with their grounds and their progress. It is per
vaded also by an excellent spirt. The author has done the church
a service in preparing the work. p
Francis Way land, D. D ., Providence , R. I.
If any one desires to see this whole subject treated with great full
ness of research, and with singular fairness and ability, I would
refer him to Professor Curtis’s work on the “Progress of Baptist
Principlee.’*
Pharcellus Church , D, D. y New York.
I have found ft logical in arrangement, lucid in statement, for
cible in argumentation, catholic in spirit, andlnumphant in its vin
dication of individualism. A subject more instructive could not
have been jelected, none more cardinal to our common Christi
anity none better fitted to explode false dogmatißms.and pernicious
ecclesiaslicisms; and it is commendation enouch of the book that
Its treatment of it is canal to the transcendant theme.

(sLaWf/Ufa Ayer’s Pills
■’ ll rieties
Fiilijninr-'l fire tin-statement.) from
of th’ ir efforts in their prnctirn. gs
As A Family Piiyskl^
From Dr. E. W. Cartwright, of New Orleans.
“Your Pills are the prince of purges. Their excellent qual
ities surpass any cathartic wo possess. They are mild, hut very
certain and effectual in their actipn on tho bowels, which makes
them invaluable to us in tho daily treatment of disease.”
For Jaundice and all Liver Complaints.
From Vr. Theodore licit, of A’ew York City.
“ Not only are your Pius admirably adapted to their purpose
as an aperient, but I find their beneficial effects upon tho
Liver very marked indeed.*’ They have in my practice proved
more effectual for tho euro of bilious com t ban anyone
remedy I can mention. I eiucereiy rejoice that we have at s
length a purgative which is worthy tho confidence of the pro
fession and tho people.”
Dyspepsia
From Vr. Jhenry J. Knox, of St. T.ovis.
“ The Pills you were kind enough to send mo have been all
used in my practice, and have satisfied me that they are truly
an extraordinary medicine. So peculiarly are they adapted to
the diseases of tho human system, that they seem to work upon
them alone. I have cured “some cases of dyspepsia and indi
gestion with them, which had resisted the other remedies we *
commonly use. Indeed I have experimentally found them to
be effectual in almost all the complaints for which you recom
mend them.”
Dysentery Di.vrrh® a— Relax.
From Vr. J. O. Qrccn, of Chicago.
“ Your PILL3 have had a long trial in my practice, and I hold
them in esteem as one of the best aperients I have over found.
Their alterative effect upon the liver makes them an excellent
remedy, when given in small doses, for bilious dysentery and
diarrhoea. Their sugar-coating makes them very acceptabio
aud convenient for the use of women and children.”
Internal (Justrucitox —Worms Suppression.
From Mrs. E. Stuart, who practises as a Physician and Midwife in
Boston.
“ I find one or two largo doses of your Pills, taken at the
proper time, are excellent promotives of the natural secretion
when wholly or partially suppressed, and also very effectual to
cleanse the stomach and expel worms. They are so much the
best physic, we hate that X recommend no other to my patients.”
Constipation Costiveness.
From Vr. J. P. Vaughn, Montreal, Canada.
“ Too much cannot be said of your Pills for the cure of cos
tivencss. if others of our fraternity have found them as
efficacious as I have, they should join me in proclaiming it for
the benefit cf tho multitudes who suffer from that complaint,
which, although bad enough in itself, is the progenitor of others
that are worse. I believe cosiiveness to originate in the liver,
but your Pills affect that organ and cure the disease.”
Impurities of thf. Blood Scrofula Erysip
elas Salt Rheum Tetter Tumors
Rheumatism Gout Neuralgia.
From Dr. Ezekiel Jiall, Philadelphia.
“You were right, Doctor, in saying that your thus purify the
blood. They do that. I have used them of late years in my
practice, and agree with your statements of their efficacy. They
stimulate tho exeretories, and carry off tho impurities that
stagnate in the blood, engendering disease. They stimulate
tho organs of digestion, aud infuse vitality and vigor into the
system. ’
“ Such remedies as you prepare are a national benefit, and you
deserve great credit lor thorn.” - r-
For Headache Sick Headache —Foul Stomach
Piles Dropsy Plethora Paralysis
Fits &c.
From Dr. Edward Boyd, Baltimore.
“Dear Dr. Aver: I cannot answer you what complaints I
havo cured with your Pili.B better than to say all that ute ever
treat with a purgative Medicine. I place great dependence on
an effectual cathartic In my daily contest with disease, and be
lieving as I do that your I'ills afford us the best we have, I of
course value'them highly.”
4®* Most of the Pills in market contain Mercury, which, al
though a valuable remedy in skilful hands, is dangerous in a
public pill, from the dreadful consequences that frequently
follow its incautious use. These contain no mercury or mineral
substance whatever.
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral
Has long been manufactured by a practical chemist, and every
ounce of it under his own eye, with invariable accuracy and
care. It is sealed and protected by law from counterfeits, and
consequently can bo relied on as genuine, without adulteration.
It supplies the surest remedy tho world has ever known for the
cure of all pulmonary complaints; for Coughs, Conqs, lloarse
ness. Asthma, Croup, Whooping Cough, Bronchitis, Incipient
Consumption, and for tho relief of consumptive patients in ad
vanced stages of the disease. As time makes these facts wider
and better known, tills medicine lias gradually become the best
relianco of tho afflicted, from the log cabin of tlie American
peasant to tho palaces of European kings. Throughout this
entire country, in every state and city, and indeed almost every
hamlet it contains, Cherry Pectoral is known as the host of
all remedies for diseases of tho throat and lungs. In many
foreign countries it is extensively used by their most intelligent ‘
physicians. If there is any dependence on what men of every
BWtien certify it .lias done for them : If we can trust our own
sensos when wa see the dangerous affections of the lungs yield
to it;,if we can depend on tiio'assurauce of intelligent physi
cians,’ whose business is to know; in short, if there is any
reljauco upon any tiling, then is it irrefutably proven that this
medicine does cure the class of diseases it is desiguod for, beyond
any and all other ramedics known to mankind. Nothing but
its intrinsic virtues, and the unmistakable benefit conferred oil
thousands of sufferers, could originate and maintain the rep- .
utation it enjoys. While many inferior remedies have been •
thrust upon the community, have failed, and been discarded,
this has gained friends by every trial, eouferred benefits on
the afflicted they can never forget, and produced cures too nu
merous aud remarkable to be forgotten.
