The price of the Index is raised to $lO in anticipation of a return to a fall sheejin May, and subscribers wishing to renew arc request ed to remit at once, that we may lay in a large supply- of pitper. The subscriptions of a great many expire in March and April, and they ate invited to remit at once and not let their names be erased from thh Ledger. Ail min isters and post masters are requested to act as agents in procuring and remitting subscrip tions and money for sending the Index to the soldiers ; and to those of them who make iib eral remittances, from good will to the paper, we promise an individual credit, gratis, as a token of our appreciation. Money may be eont by E xpress at our expense. It shall be our aim to make the Index a . first class religious denominational Journal. j Our edition is now 6,800 and increasing.— Let each individual subscriber whoso time is nearly out renow by remitting $lO, next mail. Many subscriptions expire in March and April. And let all friends to the soldiers contributo.freely for sending the full sheet, i and forward the amount at once, - To the Churches of Georgia. Our approaching Convention should admon ish you to take up your usual collections for missionary purposes—by which phrase we in tend all those charitable objects, subsidiary to gospel diffusion, ior whieh contribution* are usually made ; and the present month is a fa vorable time for such collections, as it finds you with money whose possession is gather a source of perplexity, and which even at a loss of one third will be most acceptable for the furtherance"of missionary operations. And this reminds us that all monies for missions in hand on the first of April will ho reduced in value one third. Is not an argument for largely increased contributions ? Surely, • -it is. Will it be altogether right for Christians to fund all their money aud leave none for the Lord ? Will you lock up your treasures, where they will be beyond your disposal, rath er than see two-4irds of a portion of it go in to the service of the Lord ? If every Christian funds all his money, with what can he con tribute to missions ? . The present currency .will be convertible into new currency, at a loss of one third ;* but four per cent, bonds are ■ not thus convertible, and will be purchased! by those only who wish to invest in them for j certaiu purposes. Let it be known, therefore, that it is not; contraband to retain currency for i the express purpose of aiding the missionary 1 cause ; for it can, by express regulation, be j converted into tne new currency ; or it can circulate at two thirds of its face value. Reflect, therefore, brethren, and do not pass the Lord by entirely, in the disposal of your money. lie is trying your faith and constan cy and Christian liberality. Will you not seek to come forth from the trial with great honor and credit to yourselves ? To keep plainly before vqu the usual ob jects for whieh you contribute, we publish a recapitulation of those objects, as exhibited in the minutes of the last Convention ; and we earnestly inTite you to consider the list, and in the your funds express def initely their particular destination.

It is not to be denied that lukewarmness in religion is so general- —so all-pervading in the. Confederacy, as to create alarm in the thoughtful mind. Without a doubt the stan dard of Christian morality, Christian conscien tiousness and Christian fidelity has been Rgv irgd, by the mighty worldly issues and inter. eats that have absorbed public attention ior the past three years; and it is with a sad re alization of this fact in view that wo pen these lines, not_to prove our assertion, nor even to illustrate it, but to raise a voice of entreaty with those who have permitted themselves to be enthralled by a Laodieean spirit. -Our ob ject is to touch the heart of .each individual reader. Are you not a lukewarm Christian ? Does not the fire of devotion burn dimly with in your bosom ? Are not your powers en grossed in worldly pursuits, and is not your atteution absorbed by worldly matters, to the neglect of religion In your own soul ? Is not your love cold, your faith weak and your hope obscured ? Do you not know that religion is at a low ebb in your bosom ? A Christian you are, but, O, how lamentably like the Laodi cean n os old —neither hoi nor cold ! If such is, indeed, the complexion of your soul-life we urge you to be so no longer ; for, in such a condition, you are abhorrent to the Lord : ywur prayers are insults to Him ; and your rnigious duties are au abomination in ‘tils sight. Such a spirit harbored in yoiir bo som is a deadly poison which will corrode your moral nature, until hideousness takes possession of your soul; and then you will awake to the horrid apprehension that the blasting curse of the Almighty rests upon you, and that eternal ruin is staring you in the sane, with repulsive and ghastly mockery Wliat terrible meaning is in that commina tory expression of Christ to the Laodieeans, I ‘will spew thee out of my mouth l And with what dreadful severity was it executed ! Woe to our land, should a similnr spirit in her churches invoke a like denunciation, aud procure for. us an analagous punishment! In lukewarmness presumption, pride and self-jlattery combine, and these are united with a hypocritical profession and ad led to all a man’s other sins ; and. this brings such a re proach so casts contempt upon the hoyor of God as to provemore aggra vating to Him than entire neglect of religion. What wonder, then, that thoughtful Christians, believing in tlio axistonaa, power and G ;d, should experience alarm when they bahiftd such a moral disease spreading its deadly contagion far and wide in our coun try ! Have we not cause for trepidation when an epidemic like this prevails amongst our people? May we.not fear, under such circum stances; that the Lord will remove bis candle stick from our midst and give us over to the powe of our vindictive enemies ? But—(alas, that it should be so !) —the fear of general ca lamities affects not the individual heart, so as to produoo personal reformation: we, there | fore, offer a for the cousidera i tiou of the careless and lukewarm. 1. llow can you be indifferent in regard to I a state of perfect and eternal happiness, such j as is held out to you in the gospel? Or how is j it possible to he unconcerned when contem- I plating the fearful misery with which incor rigible sinners are threatened ? Ou the one hand you behold a felicity bey ond the capacity of language to express, ex ceeding the utmost wishes of the soul an,d equal to its most enlarged and perfected ca pabilities —a happiness that will coutiuue as long us your immortal spirit exists, and that will light up the fleeting cycles of eternity with ever-increasing beatitude. On the other hand you see a wretchedness as dark and damning as the power of God, and the strength of turbulent passions and the fury of malig nant demons can make it—a misery that shall last while God reigns in heaven, that never will see mitigation, that never can be inter mitted, that shall end never, never, never ? And into one or the other of these states it is ! your destiny to pass, any day, any hour, any | moment! Can you he tupiue in such a situ- I alien ? 2. llow can you be lukewarm when you think of Jesus and the love he has manifested towards you ? Think of what be deprived him self, and of how much he endured for your sake! Think of the contradiction, the slight, | the contumely he has endured at your bands 1 i And t'link of Ilim, amid all this, still loving you, still bolding out the hands of mercy, still the sinner’s friend, still our Advocate and In tercessor on high ! Can you forget—can you be indifferent to such a friend? 0 let your better nature assume its away and say—Nev er, blessed Jesus, will I forget the#, or prove lukewarm in thy service ! 3. llow can lukewarmness possesayour soul when you meditate upon God ? He is your judge, to whom you are amenable: your Law giver, whom you should obey : your Benefac tor and Preserver to whom you owe all good ! arul all safety. He is your Maker and in his j hands rests your eternal destiny. The most august Being in the universe, he is supreme in excellence, power, majesty, holiness and beauty: wonderful in his goodness, he is yet terrible in his anger. Dare you trifle with such being? And yet this great and blessed THE PASTOR’S AID: THE CHRISTIAN’S GUIDE: THE SINNER'S FRIEND God you treat with indifference aud - uncon cern 1 ■ Mortal! Can not all these solemn and weighty considerations move you ? Can you be lukewarm under circumstances of such fearful import, before a God so mighty to pun ish, and in view of a Jesus so able to save Mortall Time is passing, and with rapid course bearing you on te the ocean of eternity. Arouse ! Now and now only is the time te use your powers; hare and here only will earnest ness and activity avail. O, doe. not he care less and indifferent about eternity aud such amazing realities as heaven and hell! An Overhauling. Our box of communications is crowded and we will give it an overhauling and dispose of everything in a summary way—although hot weather lias not yet arrived. 1. Here is a letter from brother M. Bibb, chaplain of the GOth Ya. Ref., who desires to move South and settle as a pastor. He ad dresses us from White Gate, Giles county,‘Yu-, and may be addressed at Narrows of New Riv er, Ya. He alludes to brother Wm. Fisher: “A minister with a family consisting of his wife and five children. He wishes to find a home worth. 4 or 5,000 dollars where his fam ily could be safe and comfortable. He is acting as general evangelist to the ar my of West Virginia. He is a very accepta ble and successful minister whose praise is in ail the churches.” We suppose these brethren would make ac ceptable pastors, tho’ we are not personally ac quainted with them. 2. Here are two interesting letters from brother J., a chaplain in our Va. army giving interesting accounts of late army movements ; aud if we can get themin our half sheet “we will, though it is very doubtful. Bro. J. must write ofteu for us when we enlarge. 8: Here is a communication from W. A. Lee, of the Ya. army to the Poplar Spring church in Bulloch county, asking admission ( u the strength of his baptism, by Rev. Mr. Pritchard, a Baptist minister from Baltimore, and stating that the Bethlehem church had declined to receive him. M. Scarborough sends ua the letter and alt o some Resolutions of the Poplar Spring church, desiring us to publish them. They are as fol lows: Resolved, That we receive into our body all -#oldiisDwiia*rdg ear tifrouie* ti baptista.'"’''’ ”'** ‘ 1 Resolved, That we invite all soldiers in our vicinity, or that went from oiir vicinity, to put their membership at Poplar Spring church. i Done by order of church in conference. f We suppose the latter resolution alludes to j Baptist soldiers, or baptized soldiers—other; : wise it is very sweeping. 4. Now, here are three pieces of poetry— “A hope of Heaven,” good in sentiment, tho’ not Satisfactory as poetry. “I’ll think of Thee,” too secular and amo rous for the Index. We give a sta*za. “I’ll think of thee when morning light, In roseate beams bursts o’er the sea; And when the stars make ev’ning bright. Still, still, loved one, I’ll think of thee.’? “Battle of Chicamauga” is patriotic and full of ardor, but not auited to our columns. 5. “The Star in the East.” Will appear. 6. “Deinas, #r gone back to the World,” certaiu to see the light. 7. “The Wonderful change—Letters from'a soldier’s wife,” an interesting story that will appear when we en’argc. 8. “How to get Chaplains”—a goed little article ; but it has no name signed ; and as individuals are mentioned we do not like to publish it without knowing the author. 9. “Asa’s prayer for help against his Ene mies.” We will keep this over; and if we find a favorable time will insert it. 10. “Extracts,” by B. .. . When we en large will publish. Will be glad to see the se ries. 11. “Margaret’s Dream”—Poetry. Laid aside. 12. “Childhood Days”—more poetry. Un der consideration. 13. Letter from “Soldier Cos. 1,13 th Ga, ” Won’t be able to use it. 14. Extracts from a letter of a soldier in Longatreet’s army. Interesting: but has Been postponed so long for want of room that ill has become out of date.” 15. “26th Ga.” sends us a good letter on gambling in the army, and wo will keep it,— Maybe we will use it, some day. 16. Resolutions sent us by J. H. Threlkeld will appear before a great while. Missions. We see a good deal about Missionary plans in the Banner, but behold very little of the missionary spirit —very little that is calcula ted to awaken zeal for the cause of missions and inspire energy in their operation ; very little to excite an earnest desire to aid in the diffusion of the gospel and to urge on the glo rious car of salvation among the heathen — “yea,” we “sought” it. but it “could not be found.” Why is this? ■ ■■ j-** fr, i ; S E Dyson. We cannot send the books you wish. p. M. 11. Rev T H S. We have no spelling books now - F. M. H. MACON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1864. The present Currency. We \tiil receive the present currency alfull till the 30th of this month, as we can fund up to that time. All that comes alter that time will be received at $ of its value. ’ Churches and individuals are therefore ear nestly solicited to save for the Lord, and re mit us large sums for sending the Index futhe soldiers. “What thou doest, do quickly. * _ Editor. An important Religious’movemont in the Virginia Army. We learn fpom Elder A. E. Dickinson, that he lias succeeded in securing to each of the three great army corps of Virginia, a Baptist Evangelist, whose duty it is to aid Baptist ministers in securing chaplaincies to co-ope rate with missionaries and colporters and to hold protracted meetings in regiments which are destitute of chaplaius. The brethren who have accepted this interesting field of Chris tian effort, are Elders Jno. W. Jones, Geo. B. Taylor aud E. J. Willis. They are three of the most energetic, discreet and gifted of our young ministers, and their influence in the army will doubtless be potent for good. Al ready many regiments have secured chaplaius by means of this effort of the Board in Rich mond. Among the ministers who have con sented to labor for a time in the army we no tice with great pleasure the name of Elder J. B. Jeter, D. I). We would like vory much to see many of our ablest pastors giving, at least a portion of their time, to the army. Broth er Dickinson writes that there is much that is incouraging in the condition and prospects of the S. S. and Pub. Board, and that, with the divine blessing,” he is confident great gool maybe effected this spring and summer among the soldiers. We trust that it may be so. Brief Mention. Rev. .M. D. Anderson, a noble Virginia min ister, who has been laboring with great suc cess in the army of Virginia, has accepted an appointment under the S. S. and Pub. Board to labor permanently among the sick and wounded soldiers of Columbus, Ga. We eom lnend him to our brethren there, and instance this asanother proof of this Board’s efficiency. Brother Stansbury, of Tennessee, is labor ing in the Macon hospitals in connection with our Dom. Board. Baptists are doing more than they ha 1 * >dit for, seeing they have so few chaplains j die army. Let them send tgW5t 3 WSTrs7TTs2ly'ror\'he army mission fe.tube, at our convention. We must sup !- -As-ir missionaries if we don’t send chaplains. *iro. trnd(sr£uVoF Tuskegee, Ala., writes , tfiat his-church has been gloriously revived, 4 and 3j) or 40 baptized. We are glad to learn that brother J. It. Kendrick, of Madison, has declined the call made by a Richmond church. Bro. S. P. Sanford in a letter to us says— “ Our college is getting on pretty fairly con sidering the war times.” Pen and Scissors. A correspondent of the N. C. Presbyterian states that it is the invaribio habit of Col. Wood, (commander of the marines who des troyed the Federal gunboat not long since at Newborn.) “before entering into conflict, to call his men to prayer. So it was on the way down to Newbern. Just before getting in sight of town, he called the boats all together, and made his men all kneel in praysr.” On an application by Rev. Levi Thorne, of N, C., approved by Gov. Vance, 100,000 Bi bles and Testaments, principally for N. C. troops in the Confederate service, were grant ed by the American Bible Society, N. Y., at its meeting in December. For the South West, 50,000 were granted at the same timo. Rev. T. Skinner, in a letter from Lon don represents Brock as “of huge animal pro portions and of stentorian voice, a man of evan gelical reputation and propriety;” and says that all the Baptist ministers there “are fan actical Abolitionists.” Rev. John Miller, in a resent letter to Rev. J. R. WHsod, D. D., expresses the opinion that the Presbyterian chnrch, by a mere low- 1 ering of its claim in the matter of an educated ministry, could double its ministry and double its worshipping assemblies in a very short time. The English Wesleyans announced, last No vember, the recent sailing of. one missionary for New Zealand, eight for Australia, two for | South Africa, one for the West Indies, two for India and one for China. A monthly Magazine is edited by the King pf Holland, in which with little reserve, he discusses the policy adapted to his country, the progress it is making, and his own wishes j and purposes as a sovereign. The General association of North Mississip pi and the State Convention have not met for two years; but the General Association of South-East Mississippi is at work. C Rhodes. Your $lO for the Bell is received. We hope to he able to furnish them soon, i F. M. H, For the Christian Index. Rev. A. Vnn Hoose —Domestic Board. This beloved brother has been” actively en gaged as a missionary to the army under the appointment of the Domestic Board, aud is sustained by contributions from the Central Association of Georgia. In a late communi cation he. says, “In company with brother Jewell, of Eaton ton, I lauded on this Island, (James’ Island, S. C.,). the 30th of January, and fibdrng a gracious meeting in progress we were welcomed as co-laborer* by those con ducting the meeting. Here I labored for two weeks until Gen. Colquitt and brigade were ordered to Florida. This operating very in juriously upon the meeting, I determined to leave, and to visit and preach for some Geor gia troops on Sullinau’s Island. After a walk of about 12 miles and an hour’s a steam boat I landed among the troops on Uie Island about 9 o’clock, P. M. The walk was rather too much for me—for two or three days I could scarcely walk but continued to preach. The Bth Ga. Batt. has been there for some 6 or 8 months, and had heard only ono sermon until my visit. I preached for them one week, had a good meeting, got them engaged in a prayer-meeting and left them on the 19th inst., to visit Fort Sumter. While preaching my first time to the Battalion a shell from Morris Island killed one man and wounded two or three others. This is so common it has ceas ed to have any effect. I remained at Sumter two days and nights. I attended a prayer meeting on Saturday night and preached twice on Sabbath. Col. Elliot iaan Episcopa lian and Christian gentleman, lie invites all denominations to preach for the garrison and is always present himself. They have no chaplain, and have preaching only when some one visits them. By the way, I may add that Sumter will never be taken by the Yanks.— It is now doubtless the strongest fortification on the continent and is being strengthened ev ery day. I preached 22 sermons the first month, and, having taken a severe cold, I thought myself unfit for preaching, and came back to this Island, (James’,) to rest a few days. But the revival spirit is still manifest, and I have been preaching every night since my arrival. 92 have joined the several de nominations since this meeting began. The soldiers every where soem anxious for and give most excellent attention to preaching. I am satisfied that our army presents the most inviting and promising, field, for usefulness “'ever*presented to JflFtnhiisters. *My soul has been revived and refreshed, and I leel that I am now laboring just where the Almighty would have me labor. Nearly all the regi ments have chaplains ; but I have found nor heard of only two Baptist chaplains in all the army here. But wc have a goodly number of missionaries preaching here. By the way I have met and labored with bro. D. M. Brea ker under the employ of your Board. He is an active, laborious man and a good preacher. I must close. May God bless you and the Board in vour labors of love.” M. T. S. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Greene County, Georgia, March 2d, ’64. Editor Christian Index —l saw a piece in the Index stating, that Rev. Mr. Taylor was in Georgia receiving moyey for foreign missions. I send S2O which you will please send to him for me, as I do not know where to send it.— Our brethren who are preaching to the heath en must be supplied, or else the sin of their having to suffer will fall upoiv us. Wo ought to contribute liberally to help them. Acknowl edge the receipt iu your paper so that I will know you received it. Yours, &c., BENEVOLENS. For the Christian Index. Who Will Aid? 1. Who will aid in supplying the army with good Chaplains? They are greatly needed. Scores of regiments arc destitute of the preach ed word. The S. S. aud Pub. Board can do much in this direction by aiding ministers in securing the appointment and by Mjppleraent ing their salaries. 2. Evangelists to co-opcratc with chaplains in holding protracted meeting and to preach when there is no chaplain ? Much can be done in this way. Several of our most successful ministers are in this service. 3. Colporters to distribute religious publica tions, hold prayer meetings and converse with the soldiers about the great concerns of the next world? This, too, is a mighty agency and has been signally blessed by the Head of the Church. 4. Printing Hymn books, tracts and Testa ments? Thus far, we have published over six ty millions of pages of religious tracts and ono hundred and fifty thousand copies of Ilymns for the Camp. Thousands of these winged messengers, we have reasoa to believe, have been blessed to the spiritual good es our sol diers. We have now in pross a number of new tracts, among which is a sketch of the life of Lt. Col. Lewis Minor Coleman. Who will Sid in carying on this great work, a work which makes glad the soldier’s heart, by bringing him to the feet of Jesus, and at the same time rejoices his loved ones at home; a work ithich is intimately connected with the success of our great struggle, and which caus- . ‘"TERMS, SIO.OO IN ADVANCE? ■VOL.

A. E. Dickinson, Supt Light in Obscurity. One mail brought me intelligence of the death of tho last, of my children—my Absa lom, my only son. A pall of darkness was cast around me. The next mail brought me the following note, with the amount specified in it enclosed : Dougherty County, Jan. 30, 1864. Dear Brother Baker: ■ Please accept twenty dollars, to aid you in your labors with our soldiers. Yours truly, A Friend of Zion. It was a ray of light from the throne of Divine Love, penetrating through the dark cloud that overhung me—sent in fulfilment of the promise in Isa. lviii. 10. It afforded solace, by the evidence it gave, that lie who has made so many preoious promises to the afflicted, is a faithful and a covenant-keeuino- God. I hope others will foll.ow the example of‘.‘A Friend of Z!od,” aud thus supercede the ne cessity of. drawing upon the Itichmond Board for any part of my salary. Last week I visited and labored in the hos pital in Lake City. I felt much encouraged at the gratification expressed (by those of the inmates to whom I had formerly ministered,) at my resuming my visits. * I have just returned from St. Marks, where I preached two nights in suocsssion, and was urged to continue my visits.

B , of Ala bama, and another minister, were engaged in holding a protracted meeting, and many reap ing the glorious benefit thereof, among the balance that were seeking Christ, there was a maiden about fourteen years of age, who sought Him, and found him precious to her soul. She offered herself to the Church, but her father, a Baptist deacon, refused to let her he baptized, because she’ was too young.
