Balance in the Treasury.
The Foreign Board are glad to have a larger
balance in the Treasury than at this time last
year; but they are sending out more mission
aries—so the friends of missions will need be
more liberal still.
Ordination.
J. Q. A. Itohrer was ordained, in Baltimore,
on the 14th ult., as Missionary to Japan. The
Home and Foreign Journal says of him : The
youngest son of parents more than three score
years and ten was here publicly recognized as
about to commence, on behalf of Southern
Baptists, the promulgation of the gospel in
Japan. Brother Rohrer is a native of Mary
land, and passed through a literery and theo
logical course at the Lewisburg University,
Pennsylvania. He goes forth with the pleas
ing hope of living and laboring for his Master
in Japan, a country so long closed against the
ministers of Jesus, but now, as we trust, open
to Christian effort.
It is expected that brother Rohrer will, in
the course of a few weeks, with his compan
ion, depart for Japan. He will remain a short
time in Shanghai, on his way, and as soon as
convenient pass over to his field, locating at
Kanngawa, near Jeddo, the capitol. It will
be his first work to commence the study of
the language, and to arrange for the arrival of
his coadjutors, who are expected soon to fol
low him.
Results.
It seems that the result of the meetings in
tended for the reformation of the fallen wo
men of the great metropolis of London, has
been the reception into reformatories, or the
restoration to their homes, of about two hun
dred and fifty. Some of the addresses deliv
ered at these meetings have been printed and
circulated extensively, in the usual haunts of
the dissipated, and, it is said, with good re
sults.
Christian Beneficence.
The South Western Baptist says the South
ern Baptist Publication Society’s recent work,
“Christian Beneficence,” “is a succinct, clear,
and forcible exhibition of Scriptural, teaching
on the duty of Ciiristian liberality.
Rev. Henry Grattan Guinness.
A New York correspondent, of the Spring
field Republican refers thus descriptively to
this celebrated young preacher : “ Rev. Hen
ry Grattan Guinness, the sensation English
preacher, now holding forth daily here, and
whom thousands are rushing to hear, is a
young man of thirty, who looks younger. lie
is tall, slight and elegant in figure. His black
hair is thrown baeje from a delicate, pale face,
remarkable for sensibility, and for the sweet
ness of its expression. He has a dark eye,
and a mobile mouth; even in its repose, sym
pathy quivers in its tremulous curves. He
has an acutely nervous organization ; lie is
sensitive and sympathetic. In his spirit, not
in his brain, lies the talisman of bis power.
His thought does not wander with the stars,
but hovers on a level with your heart. His
language does not scintillate the cold sheen of
a rapt imagination ; it is warm with the life
blood of emotion. His voice, solemn, far
searching, vibrating with a sweet, half-melan
choly tenderness, you feel is surcharged with
a message for you, although you hear it amid
gathered thousands. The man is consecrated
to his work ; his whole soul is baptized with
the love of it ; and the great God blesses him,
that it is.”
We learn that the health of Rev. Mr. Guin
ness has yielded under his incessant labors in
New York. He will visit some of the West
ern cities, and will then go to Boston, and in
the fall will make the tour of the"Soutb.
A New Devil.
A Roman Catholic peasant boy, in Ireland,
is reported to have listened attentively to a
priest earnestly denouncing the “ revival,”
and warning the people against it as the work
of the devil. ‘‘Ah! then, your riverance,”
replied the lad, “ it must be anew divil, for
that’s not the way the ould divil used to make
the people behave themselves.”
East India Cable.
The English rejoice at the successful laying
of the great East India cable. It crosses the
Indian Ocean, is 1,720 miles long, and the op
eration of laying occupied four weeks. It is
one of the most successful enterprises of the
kind yet made.
Catholics and Jews.
The Catholics and Jews have come into con
flict in Cincinnati. Archbishop Purcell refused
absolution to Catholic servant girls employed
in Jewish families, except on condition that
they would leave their services. The Jewish
Rabbi, Dr. Lilienthal, retorts in a letter to the
Archbishop, saying, that if this policy is per
sisted in, the Hebrew merchants of the city
will discharge the thousands of Catholic work
men in their employ.
Sandwich Islands.
A controversy is going on between the Pro
testant and Catholic missionaries in the Sand
wich Islands, and the consequence has been an
increased demand for Bibles among the natives.
It can make little difference which party pre
vails, as the natives are diminishing, under the
influence of civilization, at the rate of eight or
ten per cent, annually.
Prizes.
The Rev. Charles Hodgson, of Loudon, has
offered prizes of $250, $l5O, SSO, and $25, for
essays on the best method of infusing a mis
sionary spirit into the education of the young.
What shall we think of it ?
The pews of Henry Ward Beecher’s church,
in Brooklyn, recently were sold at auction.
The premiums amounted to $10,090, which,
added to the fixed valuation of the pews, make
the total rental for 1860, $29,586, an increase
on last year of over $500; and yet, this same
church contributed $l5O only to missions, last
year —so says an exchange.
Southern Episcopalian University.
Six hundred thousand dollars has been se
cured, in order to erect and create one on the
plateau of the Cumberland Mountain, (Tenn,)
near Sewanee.
Immersion.
When John Leland had immersed 1515 per
sons, he wrote: ‘‘l have ever found water a
harmless element, and baptizing a pleasant
work.”
Responsibility.
To a young minister complaining of the
smallness of his congregation, the Rev. John
Brown, of Haddington, said : “It is as large
a one as you will want to give account for on
the day of judgment.”
T. D. K.
Your query admits of but one answer — yes.
The Scriptures say: “Whosoever will, let
him come and take of the waters of life freely.”
Says Christ: “ Him that cometh unto me, I
will in nowise cast out.” “He that believeth
and is baptized shall be saved.”
God does not regard men’s state or eondi
tion ; in his sight, all are sinful; and he saves
those who are willing to be saved on the merits
of Christ's atonement alone. Bro. Holman’s

WISTER’S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY.—
So long as disease prevails and it is the lot of hu
manity that it always will—so long wi 1 the suffer
ing seek for the best remedy which science and
skill have discovered for their relief. In our cli
mate, especially, coughs, colds, and lung affections
are all-prevalent. Few, if any are fortunate
enough wholly to escape their effects, the slight
est form of which, if neglected, is liable to lead to
serious results. If, then, a remedy is to be had
which is equal to eope with the worst features of
disease, which is speedy iu action and permanent
in effect, it should be known to all. Such a reme
dy does exist in Dr. Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cher
ry, and we confidently recommend it as such.

ion: El>.
Departed this life on the 23d Feb., at her resi
dence on the Sand Hills, near Augusta, Mrs. Ann
Millege, widow of the late Gov. Milledge, of Geor
gia. She was in her seventy-fifth year, and had
been for the greater part of her life a faithful wit
ness to “the truth as it is in Jesus”—“Confessing
herself a stranger and a pilgrim on the earth.” —
For nearly forty years a -member of the Baptist
church of Augusta, she joined herself to it when
“Its days were dark, and friends were few,”
and now we may not doubt that in her “an old
disciple” has been taken to “the rest which re
maineth for the people of God.”
One who has known her well during many years
would place upon the church’s record of Christ’s
faithful servants this slight memorial of Mrs. Mil
ledge. For her’s was such faithfulness as is more
than commoaly worthy to be preserved in pre
cious rememberauce by those before whom her
light shone ; and her life was in truth, “manifestly
declared to be the epistle of Christ, written not
with ink, but the Spirit of the living God.” She
was “an Israelite, indeed, without guile”—-one
who, from her first coming to Christ, sat at his
feet as a little child, seeking only to know and be
known of Him as His. The world she had cast
behind her when she became a follower of the
meek and lowly Jesus. She had chosen her por
tion for this life, with Him through whom she
hoped to inherit the promises of God eternally—
and position and wealth or earth were nothing to
her except as the means of doing Christ’s work
among men. None ever went from her place a
mong us to her “own place” in the mansions of
blessedness with more evident testimony of love
and esteem from the many who followed her re
mains to their rest. For she had lived for others
during all her time on earth, and thought not of
herself except to be found faithful. So she lived
with Christ in v ew as her example, enduring wil
lingly his cross “for the joy that was set before
her,” and “knowing the tribulation which worketh
patience, experience, hope”—yet rejoicing ever
in knowing that “the Lord was at hand,” and
“watching unto prayer,” that she might be found
ready at his coming.
Well was it that she lived in constant waiting
for his coming—for “the Lord, whom she sought,”
came suddenly to her. The sudden death of an
old and much loved servant proved too great a
shock for her strength, and the affectionate mis
tress in a few hours followed the faithful servant
o the land of peace—the peace which Christ giv-
eth. The weary pilgrimage of life ‘is ended for
her. Let all who would follow her be likewise
ready.
Died of Pneumonia, on the 17th of Eebruary,
1860, after fifteen days of severe and intense suf
fering, in the county of Mitchell, in the twenty
sixth year of his age, brother Littleton Johnson,
son of brother Robert and sister Sarah Johnson
of Dougherty county, Ga.
Brother Johnson united with and was baptized
into the fullowship of Pine Bluff Chnrch, Dough
erty county, bv Eld. Wm. N. Chaudoinat its yearly
meeting in August last, after relating a full and
ample Christian experience, setting forth and
showing most conclusively that he had been w ith
the Savior.
It is perhaps too common with us to praise the
dead, but language fails us to tell the many virtues
of our beloved brother. He was kind and loviug
to his parents, and affectionate brother, a devoted
husband, and unflinching Baptist, and a sincere
Jhristian. Brother Johnson had not long since
entered the marriage state with an affectionate
and amiable wife, (who was also a Baptist,) whom
he leaves together with an infant daughter, and
many dear relatives to mourn their sad and irre
parable loss. May the God of all grace temper
his mercies to them as he “tempereth the wind to
the shorn lamb.”
Bro. Johnsou’s last moments were full of peace
as many can testify who were presmt. His fath
er and mother were often by himself called to his
bed side, when he expressed an anxiety and de
sire to talk about Jesus, and his father was so
completely overwhelmed with joy commingled
with sorrow that he was unable to hold that sweet
communion with him that both so much desired.
Joyful yet sad dispensation this ; and it fell heav
ily upon his parents fond hearts, but grieve not,
he is a bright star in the Saviour’s crown—anoth
er chord to bind you to the eternal throne—it is
the gate way of heaven open afresh to your aspi
ring souls. .
Just as our brother was about to take his de
parture, he called his heart-stricken wife, his sor
rowing relatives and mourniug friends around him,
and with great calmness, spoke to them confident
ly of going home to the Saints’ rest and his soul
was happy in the prospect of etej-nallife. He then
took an affectionate adieu of all, not forgetting
also to bid farewell to the world when iu a few
moments he entered into that rest “that remaineth
for the people of God.” A. E. H.
Near Mill Town, Brnien county, Ga., on the
29th April, in the 61st year of her age, Mrs. Mar
garet Lamb, wife of William Lamb, formerly of
New Hanover county, N. C. She has left an aged
and afflicted husband, several children and grand
children and a large circle of relatives and friends
to mourn her loss; but we do not mourn as those
who have no hope. She had been a consistent
member of the Baptist church for 31 years.
May we all be ready also that we may meet her
in heaven where there will be no more parting
with dear friends. J. O.
Mrs. Sarah A Lody, wife of Elder Edmund Cody,
and daughter of the late Rev. Wm. Henderson,
was born August 2d, 1853, in Monroe county, Ga.,
baptized on a proiession ot faith in Christ, at the
early age of twelve years, into the fellowship and
communion of the Baptist Church, at Clinton,
Jones county, Ga., was married to Eider Cody in
1840, and departed this life in perfect peace and
full assurance of a blissful immortality, at the res
idence ot her husband, in Henry couutv, Ala., on
the 16th day of April, A. D., 1860 v
The pious instructions of her parents were ear
ly blessed to the interesting subjegt of this sketch,
and her youthful profession was constantly adorn
ed by a blameless walk and a pious conversation.
Amid the many cares which devolved upon her as
the pastor's wife, and the Christian mother* her
life iu Christ passed with more than ordinary plac
idity. A temper smooth, unruffled, and uniform,
bore her calmly through the varied trials of life,
“looking unto Jesus as the author and finisher of
her faith.” Her large family was trained to that
lovely Christian obedience, which lightened up her
own path, and shed such radiance upon her own
life. Christian doctrine, faith and practice, form
ed the foundation of her character in every rela
tion of life, and now that her earthly pilgrimage is
over, the recollection of her example, and her
trusting faith in God, through the merits of the
Savior, speak to the afflicted ones, sorely bereft,
that resignation to the will of God, which the
world cannot know nor realize.
We rejoice to know that they are able to say,
“Thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory,
through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.’ 4

From the Re igious Herald.
“Dr Dagg, in his preface, says that Wayland’s
Elements of Moral Science ‘has been justly esteem
ed the best text-book extant ou the subject. We
think, however that his own is a better one, in the
department both of theoretical and of practical
ethics. Everywhere we feel ourselves in the pres
ence of a mind eminently analytic, of a judgment
in the first degree sober and judicious, of a heart
in which ‘the word of Christ dwells richly in all
wisdom.”’

From the True Union.
“This is an admirable volume of Christian ethics
having for its standard of moials the Bible. To
all students in College, whether contemplating the
work of the ministry or rot, this work on Moral
Philosophy will he invaluable.”

The second title indicates the aim and spirit of

pathos effectively mingled, aud leaves upon tho
mind an impiession not easily effaced. It will per
fect the old as well as the young, and unpietcnd

WistaUs Balsam of Wild Cherry.
This remedy has long been cherished in the com
munity for its remarkable efficacy iu relieving,
healing and curing the most obstinate, painful and
longstanding eases of Cough, Cold, Influenza, Sore
Throat, Bronchitis, Whooping Cough, Croup, Asth
ma, Inflammation of the Lungs ; while even Con
sumption itself has yielded to its magic influence*
when all other means have failed. Its whoie his
tory proves that the past has produced no remedy
of equal value, as a cure for the numerous and dam
gerous pulmonary affections which prevail &li over
the land.
Read thefollovring Letter from a high
ly respectable gentleman:
Limestone, Montour co., Pa., Oct. 22, 1858.
This is to certily that I was pronounced by sev
! eral physicians as consumptive, and bad all he
symptoms of the disease in its worst form, such as
coughing, severe pains in the che-t, shortness of
breath, night-sweats, and extreme weakness and
lassitude in my whole system. My family nearly
all having died of the disau.-e, I had given up all
hope of recovery, as nothing gave me relief; but
through the persuasion of a friend I was induced
to try Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry. The
first bottle relieved me considerably, and the third
bottle cured me entirely. 1 now feel as well as ev
er I did in my life, and am able to follow my oc
cupation as farmer as fully as ary one.
I also had a sister in a more advanced state of
the disease, h *ing been confined to her bed for
over a year and pronounced beyond hope by our
best physicians. She also was entirely cured by the
Wild Cnerry, but it required ~ix or eight bottles,
and she still takes it occasionally as a preventive,
being naturally weak chested.
I wonld sincerely urge all who ar° similarly af
flicted to try Dr. Wistar’s Balsom of Wild Cherry,
as I am satisfied that but for your own valuable
remedy my sister and myself would not now be
living. 1 will civ erlullv answer any one who may
address me on the subject and stateour cases more
fully. JACOB MILLER.

Scrofula, or King’s Evil,
j is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
i pervades the whole body*, and may burst out
; in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
I not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low* living, dis
j ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary’ in the con
stitution, descending “ from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation; ” indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, “ I
i will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children.”
I Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu
tions not only suffer from scrofulous com
plaints, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
I which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de
cimates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many*
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
| and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
arc aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people arc scrofulous ;
; their persons are invaded by this lurking in
! faction, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
i tne blood by an alterative medicine, and iu
j vigorate it by healthy food aud exercise,
| Such a medicine wc supply in
AYER’S
Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,
the .most effectual remedy which the medical
1 of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. It is com
bined from the most active remedials that have
j been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
: disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
! Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec
tions which arise from it, such as Eruptive
and Skin 7 Diseases, St. Anthony’s Fire,
Rose, or Erysipelas, Pimpt.es, Pustules,
Blotches. Blains and Boies, Tumors, Tetter
and Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm,
Rheumatism, Syphilitic and Mercurial Ik -
eases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Dehility, and,
j indeed, all Complaints arising prom Vitia
; ted ok ImpurE Blood. The popular belief
| in “ impurity of the blood” is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
; particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital li aid.
without which sound health is impossible iu
contaminated constitutions.
I Ayer’s Cathartic Pills,
j FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYSIO,
are so composed that disease within the range of
their action can rarely withstand or evade them.
: their penetrating properties search, and cleanse,
and invigorate every portion of the human c n
ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring
its healthy vitalities. Asa consequence of the.-.o
properties, the invalid who is Lowed down with
pain or physical debility is astonished to find h:s
health or energy restored by a remedy at once so
simple and inviting.
Not only do they cure the every-day complaints
cf every body, but also many formidable and
dangerous diseases. The agent below named is
pleased to furnish gratis my American Almanac,
containing certificates of their cures and directions
for their use in the following complaints: Costire
; ness. Heartburn, Headache arising from disordered
Stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Pain in and Morbid
Inaction of the Bowels, Flatulency, Loss of Appe
tite, Jaundice, and other kindred complaints,
arising from a low state of the body or obstruction
of its functions.
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
! for the rapid cure of
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness,
Croup, Bronchitis, Incipient Consump
tion, and for the relief of Consumptive
Patients in advanced stages of the
disease.
So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu
j merous are the cases of its cures, that almost
! every section of country abounds in persons pub
licly known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its
use. When once tried, its superiority over every
o’hcr medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate w. at antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections of toe
pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate.
While manv'inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed and been discardedh.thi.
has gained friends by every trial, confer.ed benefit
on the afflicted they can never forget, Pro
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten. PREPARED BY
