Summary.
Position Formally Taken.
Ths Missouri Baptist has formally taken
the position that “pulpit-communion*’ should
be left to each church’s judgment, and is not
sufficient cause for disfellowshiping, when ex
ercised in reference to an unbaptized minister.
The same paper contends that one church may
receive the excluded members of another
church. And the Arkansas Baptist says,
“While the reception of excluded members is
lawful, it is not always expedient,’’ and adds,
that it “will necessarily cause a breach of fel
lowship between the churches.”
[ls not the application for an excluded mem
ber, for admission to another church, equivo
lent to an “appeal ?”
And if a church has right to receive an ex
cluded member, has it not a right to examine
into the justice of his exclusion? And is not
such an examination a sitting in judgment up
on the decision of another church ?
If the above be answered affirmatively, is
not a certain degree of appeal, and a certain
measure of judgment in regard to the acts of
another church, consistent with Baptist poli
cy ?—Ed. Index.]

ceived much encouragement.

An Address.
We find <m our table “an address,” deliv
ered on the occasion of laying the corner
stone of the new masonic edifice in the city of
Griffin, June 21, 1860, by Col. L. T. Doyal.
It is a good address, and discusses, first: The
antiquity of Free Mansonry. Second: Its
Progress and Permanency, and. Third : Its
Benefits.
Served him right.
The following is from the Missouri Baptist:
Query—Nashville Difficulties.
Editors Missouri Baptist, please tell us what
you think of the Nashville difficulty.
Answer.—We do not wish to be uncivil,
yet cannot refrain from answering— lts none

Soliloquy—From a preacher s diary of 1854.
The Lord, no doubt, in great mercy keeps
me poor in the things of this world. He
knows what is bgst for me, and most for his
glory; yet I feel often times, great depres
sion of spirits, and my mind is much abstrac
ted, from religious subjects by the pressure of
debts, and other secular arrangements. When
will the churches learn to sustain their pastors
as they should ? Lord teach me whether I
must labor on for thy professed people on half
support, or abandon them to their covetous
ness, and I to secular employment for a sup
port ? But all these troubles have ended
when I reach the abode of the good.
Nice Girls.
We notice an “unaccredited” going the
rounds with commendation, bearing the above
title. It was written by Rev. Sidney Smith at
Folton le Clay , to appease the “miff’’ of a lit
tle one whom he had called a “nice girl,’’ for
some small favor conferred by her.
-Dying.
We are glad to believe that the so-called
“Christian spiritualist” of this city will ere long
breath its last ; for be one ever so earnest or
honest in his advocacy of any set of princi
ples, if we deem those principles wrong, un
sound or productive of evil, we shall be glad
when the promulgation of them ceases.
Resistance.
Archbishop Hughes, of N. Y., (Catholic,)
refuses to obey the law, which requires minis
ters to give information of all marriage cere
monies they may perform, for the purpose of
registry.
A Mistake.
For the Louisiana Bapiislto credit “church
and State : Baptists have always been friends
to religious liberty’’ to the Tennessee Bap
tist. It was written for and published in the
Christian Index , by “B.”, and copied by the
Tenu. Baptist without credit.

The Christian Repository
For July is before us, and is as usual full of
interesting matter. Its first article is a short
sketch of one of our Pioneer preachers, David
Doyle. Then comes, “what good does sprink

Battle of the Churches,” &c., &c.
Eclectic Magazine,
We consider the best of monthlies ; for it is
always full of the choicest matter, is excellent

graving each month. Its reading is calculated
to benefit and not simply amuse. Every val
uable periodical of the day is put under con
tribution to fill its pages.

are given. No one will at all regret purchas

Merged.
The Baptist Telescope , of Western North
Carolina, has been merged into the Southern
Baptist of Charleston. A good movement.
Doctored. *
At the late commencement of Columbian
College, the degree of D. D. was conferred
upon Prof. H. H. Tucker, of Mercer Universi
ty. A just tribute to merit.
Legal Decision.
It was legally decided lately in England,
that “ Baptist authorities had never deter
mined immersion to be the indispensable con
dition of Baptist communion, and that, there-
fore, the deed of trust appropriating an en
dowment to the use cf “particular Baptists,”
(Calvanistic,) could not “without further elu
cidation” be restricted to their use, to the ex
exclusion of certain “General” (or American)
Baptists.
In England of the Particular Baptists, there
are 2000 congregations, while of General Bap
itsts, there are less than 200 congregations,
contrary to generally received opinion.
The London Times characterises the Bap
tists of England as “strong in numbers, deci
ded in tenets, and renowned not only for fer
vency of zeal, but controversial ability and
theological learning.”
Sweden.
“The cause of the Lord,” Mr. Wiberg says,
is going forward in many parts of this
country. Revivals, such as we have heard of
in Ireland and Scotland, have recently taken
place in some parts of Sweden, especially in the
north, and in the province of Snedland. A
spirit of prayer is increasing in this country.
Commendable.
The Female Missionary Society of the Ist
Baptist church, Baltimore, Md., have forward
ed to the Treasurer a check for $55, to be ap
propriated to the education of Bro. Buckner’s
son.
Chinese zeal in California.
Bro. Shuck says: As an illustration of Chi
nese zeal, I may mention that Wong Chong,
one of my preaching helpers, went off in the
stage on Saturday last, in order to spend Sun
day in Placerville in preaching to his country
men in that mountain city. This was of his
own motion and at his own expense. He
promises to become a good preacher.
On May Ist, 1860, as Bro. Shuck came
down out of the pulpit, a very interesting Chi
nese young man came forward and boldly de
clared his repudiation of heathenism, and his
firm belief in Christ.
“The Still Hour.”
Four editions of this excellent little book on
prayer, by Philips, have been published in
Scotland.
Interesting.
The Waldenses of Piedmont have agreed by
an unanimous vote to remove their Theologi
cal Seminary from its mountain home at La
tour to Florence, and to make that opulent
and free city, henceforth the centre of their
re’igious influence. This movement indicates
their confidence in the stability and liberality
of the Sardinian Government, and their con
viction that by the removal they can operate
more effectually on Italy in the spread of the
Gospel.
The issue fairly made.
The Religious Herald and the S. W. Baptist
are fairly at issue as regards the “right” of one
Baptist Church to receive the “ unjustly exclu
ded” member of another. The former in the
affirmative, the latter opposing. We will no
tice the debate and soon give an abstract.

A Word to the Baptists of Flori
da.
Dear Brethren :—The most of you,
have, by this time, seen the proposition
made by myself and Bro. Bailey, at the
solicitation of some of you, in reference to
a religious paper for the State of Florida.
The prospectus has been published already
by two or three religious and some of the
secular papers, and has been sent in a sub
scription circular to all the ministers
whose names cquld be ascertained.
Allow me now to say a few words more
in plainness, about this, as it is a matter of
importance to all concerned. This work,
dear brethren, cannot and will not be
undertaken by us unless we meet with
such encouragement before we begin, as
will make it a self sustaining work, and
for the reason, that if there is loss sus
tained, it will necessarily fall on others,
and not us, which we are unwilling should
be so. Then you must make us able, or
rather the paper, to live.
For your encouragement, I may say,
that there has been a kind offer made by
one good brother, which if seconded by a
sufficient number of others, will, with a
good list of subscribers, make it a success,
a fixture. This offer may be explained to
you by others, but nothing will answer
the place of subscribers. Then will not
every one make an effort ? Will not our
ministering brethren show us encourage
ment by getting lists, or becoming res
ponsible for a number of subscribers, and
get them afterwards.
Having no pastoral charge, I shall em
ploy myself for a time, in working for the
Index, as it will in no wise retard, but
may aid in this good work, at least in pre
paring me pecuniarily to engage in it
more fully.
Please then work fast, and send on the
result for the present, to Bro. N. A. Bai-
ly, Monticello, Fla. Remember, we will
issue the paper quick as possible, after we
have received the requisite number of
subscribers. W. N. Chaudoin.

Christian’s Consoled.
By J. H. S.
No. I.
“Blessed are the poor in Spirit.”
God’s creatures are all poor in spirit.
The full left us at mercy’s gate. • ’Tis the
business of the Devil to induce the belief
that we are strong in the spirit, and there
by lead us away from mercy. Nothing
but a spiritual comprehension of God’s
justice and love, seen thro’ the gate of
mercy —the quickening influences of Ilis
rich Spirit, can enable one sinner to fee!
that he or she is poor in spirit. The work
of the Holy Spirit is to take the unsearch
able riches of Christ, of heaven, and show
them to His people. Hence, a sinner
quickened, has the glory of God shining
in his heart. The giving of “the knowl
edge of Jesus,’’is but to realize that we
are poor in spirit. The Kingdom of Hea
ven upon earth, is composed of those on
ly who feel and enter “poor in spirit.”—
In this school we are “to press toward the
mark for the prize of our high calling,’’ to
make our “particular calling and election
sure.” The promises are ours. The word
is spirit, it is rich, for the poor in spirit.
Brother or sister, poor in spirit, have you
ever yet felt that Jesus was rich enough
for you ? Have you from the heart be
lieved on him ? If you have not, go to
the word. It says believe, believe. Have
you been comforted with the assurance of
faith, to lay hold on the Saviour ? If you
have, you are still poor in spirit. Take
courage and go on. Go to the word.—
Have you beeu baptized ? If not, you are
still “poor in spirit.” Follow on to know
the Lord. Be baptized. Have you fol
lowed on thus far ? Well, follow’ on. Y r ou
are being prepared now, for the war a
gainst the flesh. Lay hold on eternal life.
The sword of the spirit belongs to you.—
It is for all who are “poor in spirit.’’ It
“is mighty through God.’’ Y"ou must
“forget the things that are behind.” Move
forward, “looking unto Jesus.’’ Are you
tempted to doubt you were born again ?
Display your weapon, it will reveal the
convincing truth, that you belong to “the
poor in spirit.” Are you burdened with
cares or trials? Look at your arms, (the
word,) there you will see that the host of
the “poor in spirit,’’ w 7 ho have gone be
fore, had these and more, to contend with.
But, blessed be God, “they looked and
were lightened,” and so may you. Know 7
ye not, that the world, the flesh and the
devil, all combine against the army of “tliq
poor in spirit.” Says the World, I w 7 ant
no such puny spirits, they belong not to
me. The Flesh says, u T e cannot agree,
for such spirits are always warring against
me. Aud I, says the Devil, hate such,
for all I can do is to worry them through
the flesh. Be encouraged, then, ye “poor
in spirit.” Look up, rejoice that you are
counted worthy to be remembered in the
army. The world may condemn, but the
Lord is for you. The flesh will war a
gainst you, but the Spirit will keep it in
subjection. The Devil may threaten to
enter, aud tare you, but Jesus has rebuk
ed him. Don’t fear him, lie will never
tare you again. Sigh on —groan on—
shout and rejoice, ye “poor in spirit,’’ for
we shall be more than conquerors, thro’
Him that loved us. All things are yours,
for yours is the Kingdom of Heaven.

THE TOILET COMPANION
Is the name by which Messrs. Joseph Burnett &
Cos., at Boston, designates the neat and convenient
case in which these famous chemists and perfum
ers put up their superior preparations for toilet
use, viz: “Kalliston,” “Cocoaine,” “Oriental Tooth
Wash” and “Floriroel.” The Kalliston is an arti
cle the ladies already regard as an indispensable
preparation for promoting the healthy condition
of the skin, and beautifying the complexion. The
Cocoaine containing a large proportion of Cocoa-
Nut Oil, imparts to the hair a glossy appearance,
invigorates it and gives it a healthy growth. The
Oriental Tooth Wash arrests decay of the teeth,
cures canker, hardens the gums and imparts fra
grance to the breath. Florimel is a delicate and
enduring perfume of exquisite odor, and so pure
as not to discolor the lightest fabric. Burnett’s
Toilet Companion will be much in demand as it
becomes generally known. [Providence Press.

DIED.
Ella Virginia, daughter of T. and E. Davis, died
May 23, 1860, aged 9 years 6 months and 13 days.
Little Ella sleeps, but oh what consolation is found
in the language of the Savior, who said, “Suffer
little children to cqme unto me and forbid them
not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
Cease then, fond nature, cease thy tears
Thy Savior dwells on high,
There everlasting spring appears.
There joys shall never die.
At the residence of her father, in Hen l v county,
Ga., on the 23d of June, 1860, in the fourteenth
year of her age, Seleta Frances, eldest daughter of
John and Serena K. Swann.
Though Frances“suffered much from the pro
tracted nature of her disease, she bore it with un
usual fortitude for one so young. She seemed per
fectly resigned to her fate. A short time previous
ta her death, her mother went to her bed-side and
asked for some signs of her going to heaven ; that
if she was too weak to speak or raise her hand just
raise one finger, when she raised her finger and
pointed upward. Frances was young, though ami
able, a dutiful and obedient child, aud faithful
and kind to her little sister and brothers. Her
parents and friends may mourn their loss of her on
earth, yet they may be happy in the thought that
her soul is now with God in Heaven.
J. M. C. H.
Pleasant Robertson departed this life, at the
place of his former residence in Oglethorpe co. on
Monday night, 18th ult., fifteen minutes after nine
o clock, in the 76th year of his age, having been a
professor of religion, and a Baptist for more than
40 years, and living in hope of eternal life and sal
-vation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
During his last application he expressed some
fears for a time, in reference to his acceptance-with
God, lamenting that he had not lived more, like a
Christian, but soon his fears were all banished and
he was rejoicing that Christ Jesus came into this
world to save sinners, of whom he acknowledged
himself the chief; and spake freely of the time
when Jesus appeared in mercy pardoning all his
sins. And now we believe his departed spirit is at
rest in that building of God, a house not made
with hands, eternal, in the heavens.
The funeral services were attended to before his
interment, aud truly it was a solemn time. Child
ren, grand children, neighbors and friends, weep
ing aud yet rejoicing, regretting truly the loss of
a near relative, a kind neighbor and a good citi
zen, but yet we had grounds to rejoice that the la
bors, toils, and troubles (of which he had shared
largely,) of this present pvil world, with him were
now closed up forever, and lie where the wicked
cease from troubling and the weary be at rest. —
May it be the uuspeakable happy lot of the rela
tives and friends of the deceased to be prepared
by grace divine to meet him in that celestial world
of glory, where sighing aud sorrow shall flee away.
D. W. P.
Departed this life on the 29th of June, 1860, at
her brother A. J. Howard’s, in Oglethorpe county,
Ga., sister Lucy H. Howard, in the 65th year of her
age. She was baptized by brother Malakiah Reev
es, into the fellowship of the Baptist church at
Cloud’s Creek, and lived a member of the same 48
years. In the death of sister 11. the church has
lost a pious, devoted, worthy and exemplary mem
ber. She suffered under severe affliction for sev
eral months previous to her death, which she bore
with Christian fortitude and resignation, saying to
her surrounding relatives and friends who were
administering to her comfort that she had no fears
beyond the grave ; and was patiently waiting the
will of the Lord to be done concerning her. May
the numerous surviving relatives and friends of the
departed sister so live that they may be prepared
to say as she said, the will of the Lord be done.

Near Island Creek, Hancock county, Ga., on the
21st day of June, 1860, alter eighteen days of the
most intense pain and suffering from dysentery,
sister Mary E. Evans, wife of Sterling G. Evans,
in the 33d year of her age.
Were it possible for perfection to dwell togeth
er with humanity, it was possessed in no small de
gree by the subject of this notice. Eulogies have
been pronounced, Essays written upon the virtues
of the living and the dead ; but no one subject
more worthy, more deserving of universal esteem
and admiration, than our departed sister. All who
knew her will bear evidence to the simple fact,
that bad she an error, it was an error of goodness ;
too good for the circumstances of life. With a dis
position so lovely, kiud, and affectionate, with
manners so gentle, placid, and modest, together
with a countenance beaming at all times with the
smiles of Christian brightness, and charity, she
was w'orthily esteemed and beloved by all who
knew her. Sister Evans was baptized into the fel
lowship of Island Creek Church, by the Rev. J. B.
Battle, on the first day of October, 1840. All the
virtues characteristic of the true Christian, were
adorned by her until death. Upon her dying bed
she said she would resign all into the hands of the
Lord. Told her husband that Christ was her rock,
to trust Him, and He would bring him safe thro’.
She leaves a husband and seven lovely children,
numerous relatives and friends to mourn a loss that
none can fill.
“She sleeps in Jesus, blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes to weep.”

This is a remarkable book upon a remarkable
subject. It contains a glow ; >:g account of the
commencement, progress, and results of the Revi

Oxygenated Bitters.
A Query. Why will you suffer ? Dyspepsia is
a brief but comprehensive term for the numerous
diseases which affect the stomach, liver, and in
fact the whole human system. Until Dr. Green
discovered the Oxygenated Bitters, medical science
was at fault and had exhausted itself in fruitless
efforts to cure this disease. The Dyspeptic need
suffer no longer with a disease that is ajways pain
ful, and frequently a fatal affliction.
This unique and peculiar compound will as cer
tainly cure the disease as the disease exist* Had
it not this power, such testimony as follows would
not be given in its favor :
DYSPEPTICS, READ !
Ashx’elot, Oct. 6, 1859.
Messrs. S. W. Fowle & Cos.,
Gents:—Nine years ago I was so much reduced
iu strength as to be unable to attend to the com
mon duties of my household, and suffered from a
complication of diseases that truly rendered life a
burden. I resorted to various Physicians of ac
knowledged skill, but without relief, ar.d my case
was considered beyond the possibility of cure ; but
at this juncture I made use of the Oxygenated Bit
ters, and so rapidly did I mend that the effect was
wonderful. My physician’s distrust of the medi
cine gave place to the utmost confidence in it.— !
After a lapse of years, Unow remain in the enjoy
ment of good health, and have ever found the Bit- j
ters a never failing antidote for the various symp
toms which arise from constitutional derange
ments. I have since recommended them to sever
al of mv friends, with uniform and satisfactory re- f
suits. CATHARINE RAYMOND. I

A Great Book by the author of “ Grace

The Dreamer’s Blind Daughter. A Tale of Re
ligious Persecution. By Mrs. Rochester Ford,
of Louisville, Ky. 1 vol. 12mo. 488 pp. Illustra
ted. Price sl.
The great populaiity of Grace Truman, (of which
30,000 copies have been sold,) will secure, for this
book, thousands of readers.
READ WHAT THE PRESS SAY OF IT.
[From the New York Examiner.]
The numerous readers of “Grace Truman” have
here another work on a topic of deep and thrilling
interest, from the author of that highly popular
book. Mary Bunyan, the blind daughter of the
immortal dreamer, is referred to repeatedly in his
autobiography and other works. She was about
twelve years of age when Bunyan was imprisoned
in Bedford jail, aud his anxiety on her behalf was
one of his principal causes of di.-tress in his long
imprisonment.
As drawn by Mrs. Ford, her character seems to
have been one of great modesty and loveliness,
and the story of her love for William Dormer, and
of his death for the cause of civil and religious
freedom, has much of the pathetic element in it.
Mrs. Ford is evidently thoroughly au fait in the
incidents of Banyan’s family history, and the to
pography of Bedford and Elstow. We can safely
predict for the w ork an extensive sale.
[From the New York Evangelist.]
The simple incidents of Bunyan’s life, his pro
tracted imprisonment, his heroic endurance and
lofty faith, are of themselves full of the deepest
and most thrilling interest. It needed only the
picture ofhis blind daughter Mary, in her gentle
ness and patience under sore misfortune, to give
completeness to the tragic yet noble scenes in
which Bunyan figures, so modestly yet grandly
conspicuous. The author of the valuine before us
has carefully gathered up such historical facts, and
they are fortunately numerous aud well authenti
.eated, as could throw light upon her subject, and
has employed them with great sagacity and effect
in the construction of her story.

Ayer’s Ague Cure,
which neutralizes this malarious poison in the
blootf, and stimulates the liver to expel it from the
body. As it should, so it does cure this afflicting
disorder with perfect certainty. And it does more,
or rather does what is of more service to those sub
ject to this infection. If taken in season it expels
it from the system as it i3 absorbed, and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks ; keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease.
Consequently it not only cures, but protects from,
the great variety of affections which are induced
bjj this malignant influence, such .as Remittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Fevers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita
tions, Painful Affections of the Spleen, Hysterics,
Colic, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the
Stomach and Bowels, all of which, when arising
from this cause, will be found to assume more or
less the intermittent type. This “ Ague Cure ”
removes the cause of these derangements, and cures
the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the cxcre
tories to expel the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this
their office of their own accord. Hence arises what
we term acclimatation. Time may accomplish the
same end, but often life is not long enough, or is
sacrificed in the attempt, while this “ Ague Cure ’
does it at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is a surer as well as safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the miasmatic infection, than any other
which lias been discovered; and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that
it is cheap as well as good.
