SUNDAY SCHOOLS IN THE WINTER
In response to the call of the Sunday
School Board, I have received notices from
the following persons that the Sunday Schools
with which thay are connected shall be sus
tained, Providence permitting, during the
winter months:
Rev. D. Will Gwin writes that the “Griffin
Sunday School intends to meet throughout
the winter rain or, snow or hail.”
W. R. Boggs writes that the Doctors
Creek church Sunday School of the Sunbury
Association, Mclntosh County, will keep
open all the winter.
In 1862 a Sunday School was organized
iu connection with the Sardis Church in Ter
rell CduDty. It has been conducted exclu
sively by ladies until recently, when a male
Superintendent came to their assistance.
The schoot numbers 55 scholars and 6 teach
ers, and does not suspend during the win
ter.
J. 11. McMullan reports that the Sunday
School in Goshen, Lincoln County, will be
continued through the winter.
Mr. A. C. McMiken of Rehoboth, Wilkes
County, Ga., says, (very prettily) “We in
tend that our school shall he an evergreen.
It shall flourish in the winter unless the yan
kees drive us from our homes.”
G. W. Morsh of Hebron church, Lee
County, and R. LeSueur of Fort Valley.
Houston County, write that they expect to
carry on their schools during the winter.
So also reports the Superintendent of the
school.at Forsyth.
These are all the return which I have re
ceived in answer to the call. I presume that
many of our schools have been interrupted
by the unsettled condition of our political
interests. Probably some of the reports
have not reached me owing to th interrupt
ion of mail transmissions. There are many
other schools, especially in our larger towns
and villages, where I know the exercises are
not suspended in the winter months. I hope
the day may not be distant when all Our
schools will, in the happy metaphor of Mr.
McMullan, prove to be “evergreens.” If
thare ever was a period when Christians
should be zealously engaged in the Sunday
School work, it is surely the period through
which we are now passing. The “faithful
Sunday School teacher is a “worker togeth
er with God.” What dignity ! What bless,
edness! W. T. Brantly.
Augusta, Jan. 21st, 1865.
THE WRONG SERMON.
A wr.aer in the Congregationalist gives
the following investing incident, from a
sketch book of ministerial memories, which
seem to magnify the guiding, rescuing grace
of God:
A few years ago a minister of Christ, then
young, had occasion for a single half day to
supply a pulpit to which he was an entire
stranger. It was only two miles from the
place of his temporary sojourn, and arrange
ments were made for his conveyance within
the last half hour preceed'ng the service.
In his ignorance of the yarticular religioas
condition of the people he was to address,
he selected, and byjjthe way of preparation
for services, carefully read over a sermon
which he thought would do no harm, if it
did no good, in any circumstances that might
exist.
Greatly to the preacher’s discomfort, the
person who was to carry him to the church
did not call for him till within a few mo
ments of the hour for service. In the ex
citement aud agitation of this unexpected
delay he then hastily seized, as he supposed,
the seleojen sermon and hurried away. It
was in a state of body and mind sadly con
trasting with that which he had hoped to
possess, that he entered the sanctuary ana
ascended the pulpit, to whose empty seat the
waiting congfegation had been for some time
looking in wonder. Scarcely had he reach
ed his conspicuous position, “the observed
of all observers,” before toe prompt old sex
ton was by his side, with the faniilliar, and
sometime trying demand, ‘Your hymns, sir,’
For this trial, however, the preacher had
provided in part, as he had carefully noted
the hymns on the margin of his chosen ser
mon. Very confidently, therefore, he took
from his pocket the manuscript that he might
transcribe the numbers, when lo! he was
appalled to discover that, in his haste, he
had brought the wrong sermon—a sermon
designed specially for anxious inquirers!
There was, however, no time for debate, or
deliberation, or even apology, and the only
course left to pursue was to give the sexton
the first hymns that occurred, and forthwith
proceeded with the service.
Whether the people ciscovered the emo
tion which agitated the young preacher, the
writer never knew ; but, before the sermon
was half delived it was evident there was
emotion in she. congregation. A marked
stillness pervaded the whole house. Here
and-there was a heart oathed in tears. What
could it mean ?
The preacher hrd another engagement in
the afternoon, and was obliged to leave the
place immediately after the service, without
stopping to ascertain what it meant. But,
within two or three days he received a most
welcome message from two different sources,
in which was expressed the greatest grati
tude to God that a stranger had been sent
to N. to preach that particular sermon on
that Sabbath. One lady, who for many
months had abandoned herself to almost ut
ter despair, and to whom the kindest and
best of Christian counsel had again and again
been addressed in vain, while she listened,
saw, as if the light of heaven had suddenly
broken upon it, the way to be justified and
saved, and at once emerged from the dark
ness and wretchedness of her soul’s protract
ed imprisonment, into the joys of a conscious
and complete deliverance. Others were led
to inquire after the way of life, and a pre
cious season of refreshing followed.
FIRST AND LAST VISIT TO A DRAM
SHOP.
Timothy Truesdell is the name we shall
assign to a very worthy, industrious, and
thriving mechanic of New York, who be
came a burden to himself, a curse to his
family, and a nuisance to society at large.
A writer, in strong language, says of him,
that during his devotion to strong drink,
“he would have uncorked the bottle amid
the quakings and thunders of Mount Sinai,
and drained it by the crater of exploding
Vesuvius.” Yet this miserable and aban
doned drunkard was cured—cured by a wo
man’s love mingled with a woman’s inde
pendence. .
Timothy Truesdell had. a wife and five
beautiful children; yet he neglected his
work, squandered his earnings, which daily
grew smaller, and spent his time at the pot
house, till the nigh prostration*of all his
faculties, or the distasteful words “ up more
trust!” warned him to seek the shelter of
his wife’s care and protection. His children
could not go to school, because learning \yas
dear and rum was cheap; the landlord
dunned for his rent, and Mrs. Truesdell was
obliged to keep at home, as she had no dress
fit to appear abroad in, having pawned the
last to pay a fine imposed upon her spouse
by the police court. Misery, utter destitu
tion, and famine, stared the unhappy family
in the face. It is impossible to exaggerate
the picture, even had we room or inclina
tion. Mrs. T. was a heroine, though not of
romance. She loved her worthless husband,
and had borne his neglect, the tears of her
children, the gripe of famine, and the rail
ing of the drunkard without repining.-
Never had her exertions slackened—never
had a harsh word passed her lips. At night,
when she’ put her children to sleep, she
wept and watched for his coming, and when
he did come, drunk, as usual, she undressed
and assisted him to bed, without a murmur
of reproach. At length, her courage well
nigh exhausted, she resolved upon one last,
desperate effort.
At night, having disposed of her three
oldest children, she took the two youngest
by the hand, and bent her steps to the grog
gery her husband was accustomed to fre
quent. She looked into the window, and
there he sat, in the midst of his 1)000 com
panions, with his pipe in his mouth and his
glass in his hand. He was evidently excited,
though not yet drunk. Great was the as
tonishment of that bad company, and enor
mous Mr. Truesdell’s dismay and confusion,
when his wife, pale as marble, and leading
two tattered and barefooted babes, stepped
up to the bar, called for three glasses of
brandy toddy, and then sat down by his
side.
“ W hat the devil brings you here, Mary ? “
said he, morosely.
“ It is very lonesome at home, and your
business seldom allows you to be there,”
replied the meek wife. “ There is no com
pany likTe yours, ana as you cannot come to
me, I must come to you. I have a right to
share your pleasures as well as your sorrows.”
“ But to come to such a place as this!”
expostulated Tim.
“No place can be improper where my
husband is,” said poor Mary. “ Whom God
hath joined together, let not man put asun
der.” She took up the glass of spirit.
“Surely you are not going to drink that?”
asked Tim, in huge astonishment.
“ Why not? You say you drink to for
get sorrow, and if brandy has that effect, I
am sure no living creature has so good an
excuse for drinking as I. Resides, I have
not eaten a mouthful to-day, ajid I really
need something *o support my strength.”
“ Woman ! woman ! you are not going to
give the.children such stuff as that!” cried
Tim, as she handed each of the children a
glass of liquor.
“Why not? Can children have a better,
example than their father’s ? Is not what
is good for him, good for them also ? It
will put them to sleep, and they will forget
that they are cold and hungry. Drink, my
children; this is fire, and bed, and food, and
clothing. Drink—you can see how much
good it does your father.”
With Beeming reluctance, Mary suffered
her husband to conduct her home, and that
night he prayed long and fervently, which
he had not done before for years.
The next evening as he returned home
ward with a steady step, he saw his oldest
boy run into the house and heard him ex
claim, “ O mother, here comes father, aud
he is not drunk !’’ Tears coursed down the
parent’s cheek, and from that hour he has
not tasted strong drink. He had never been
vicious or unfeeling, and as soon as his
emancipation from the thraldom of a debas
ing appetite became known, friends, em
ployment, and prosperity, returned to him.
As for Mrs. Truesdell, she is the happiest of
women; and never thinks without joy and
gratitude, of her first and last visit to the
dram shop.
BAPTIST RESPONSIBILITIES.
If baptism, as we allege, is a meaning
rite of utmost significancy—if the symbol of
a death unto sin involves also, as a conse
quent figure, the life of God in the soul, and
is enjoined on every follower of Jesus, in
order that by his burial in the baptismal
wave, his personal death unto sin may be
set forth—nothing is more reasonable than
that those who differ from us should require
to see all this evinced in the pure and holy
lives of the baptized; that they should de
mand the evidence of greater grace as tes
tifying the possession of a sounder fai.h.—
Are we able to render that evidence ?** Can
we confirm the Diviue authority of our
practice by pointing to the purer piety and
greater Christian energy and faithfulness of
the baptized churches of Christ? If we
are unable to do this, and turn in sadness
and shame from the inquiry, then must we
acknowledge that we, ourselves, are a chief
impediment to the progress of the truth we
profess to love. Is it, then, strange that
others fall back on their own ground, and
become doubly encased in their cherished
prejudices? This will not justify, indeed,
a neglect of the evidence of the Scriptures,
nor lessen their independent sufficiency, but
it may tend greatly to explain why men
neglect that evidence, and may bring us in
as guilty causes of it. The Scriptures are
the sole and sufficient exponents of the Di
vine will’ in baptism; but the holy lives of
the baptized were designed and adapted to
be a mighty confirmation of that will; if
not, indeed, “strong as Holy Writ,” yet
possessing a peculiar fitness to win attention
to it. The lofty edifice of error has been
often shaken. It has seemed again and
again to be ready to totter to its fall. May
not we, brethren, be withholding that last
blow that would level all opposition, and
complete in the Church of Christ a perfect
copy of the Divine pattern—“ One Lord,
one faith, one baptism?” Let those an
swer the question who have grown cold in
faith; who restrain prayer; who call not on
God in their families; who r neglect the as
sembling of themselves together, a3 the man
ner “of too many is; who spend the Sab
bath in journeying, or in idle gossip; who
“ grind the faces of the poor;” and who
“ are not zealous for the truth,” or whose
hearts, during the terrible baptism of blood
through which this nation is passing, are
more intent on ’amassing money than in re
lieving the distressed, or in promoting the
cause of true religion and holy charity on
the earth. And let all remember that a
zeal for our peculiar rite is only a shame and
a mockery, unless we can point to the piety,
and purity, and actiye usefulness of our
Churches, as attesting the divine character
of the baptism by which they are distin
guished. Our Divine Master highly re
garded this rite. He submitted to it Him
self, with the striking words: “Thus it be
cometh us to fulfil all righteousness.” On
us descends, in His providence, the duty of
maintaining by holy living, even more than
by Scriptural argument, this important por
tion of the truth. — Rev. Dr. Crawford.
GENERAL BURN’S ALLEGORY.
I thought I was sitting, a little before
daylight in the morning, with my deceased
brother, on the wall of the parish Church
yard. We remained silent for some time,
Ttnd then he asked me if I would not go
with him into the church. I readily con
sented, and immediately rising up, walked
with him towards the porch, or outer gate,
which I thought was very large and spa
cious; but when we had passed through it,
and came to the inner door that led directly
into the body of the church, somfi way or
other, but how I could not well conceive,
my brother slipped in before me; and when
I attempted to follow, which I was all eager
ness to do, the door, which slid from the
top to the bottom, like those in some forti
fied towns on the continent, was instantly
let down more than half way, so that I now
found it requisite to bend myself almost
double before I could possibly enter. But
as I stooped to try, the door continued td fall
lower and lower, and consequently the pas
sage so narrow that I found it alto
gether impracticable in that posture. —
Grieved to be left behind, I determined to
get in, if possible, and fell down on my
hands and tried to squeeze my head and
shoulders through; but finding myself still
too high, I then kneeled down, crept,
wrestled, and pushed more eagerly, but all
to no purpose. Vexed to the last degree,
yet unwilling to be left outside, I came to
the resolution of throwing off all my clothes,
and crawling like a worm; but being very
desirous to preserve a fine silk embroidered
waistcoat which I had brought from France
[ kept that on, in hopes of being able to
carry it with me. Then laying myself flat
on my face, I toiled, and pushed, and strove,
soiled my embroidered waistcoat, but could
not get in, after all. At last, driven almost
to despair, I stripped myself entirely, and
forced my body between the door and the
ground, till the rough stones and gravel tore
all the skin and flesh upon my breast, and
(as I thought) covered me with blood. In
different, howevey, about this, an! perceiv
ing I advanced a little, I continued to strive
and squeeze with more violence than ever,
till at last I got stffely through. As soon
as I stood upon my feet on the inside, an
invisible hand clothed me in a long fffiite
robe; and as I turned round to view the
place, I saw a goodly company of saints,
among whom was my brother, all dressed in
the same manner, partaking of the Lord’s
Supper. I sat down in the midst of them,
and the bread and wine being administered
to me, I felt such joy as no mortal can ex
press. I heard a voice call me by name,
saying I was wanted at home. My joy was
so great and overcoming, that it soon broke
the bonds of sleep, and made me start up in
bed, singing the high praise of God.
THE FIRST VERSE OF GENESIS.
This simple sentence denies atheism—for
it assumes the being of God. It denies
polytheism; and, among its various forms,
the doctrine of two eternal principles, the
one good and the other evil; for it confes
ses the one eternal Creator. It denies ma
terialism ; for it asserts the creation of mat
ter. It denies pantheism; for it assumes
the existence of God before all things, and
apart from them. It denies fatalism; for it
involves the freedom of the Eternal Being.
It assumes the existence of God ; for it is
He who in the beginning creates. It as
sumes His eternity; for He is before all
things; and as nothing comes from noth
ing, He himself must have always been. It
implies His omnipotence; for. He creates
the universe of things. Ii implies His ab
solute freedom; for He begins anew course
of action. It implies His infinite wisdom;
for a lcosmos, an order of matter and mind,
can come only from a being of absolute in
telligence. It implies His essential good
ness ; for the Sole, Eternal, Almighty, all
wise, and all-sufficient Being, has no reason,
no motive, and no capacity for evil. It pre
sumes Him to be beyond all-limit of time
and place, as Ho is before all time and place.
— J. G. Murphy.
KEEP THE HEART ALIVE.
These words of Bernard Burton are good.
Often good and wise men in other things
have rendered their old age cheerless and
unlovely from a want of attention to them.
“The longer I live, the more expedient I
find it to endeavor more and more to extend
my sympathies and affections. The natural
tendency of advancing years, i3 to narrow
and contract these feelings. Ido not mean
that I wish to form anew and sworn friend
ship every day, to increase my circle of in
timacies ; these are very different affairs.—
But I find it conduces to my mental health
and happiness, to find out all I can which
is amiable and lovely in those I com<s in con
tact with, and to make .the most of it. It
may fall very far short of what I was once
wont to dream of; it may not supply the
place of what I have known, felt, tasted •
but it is better than nothing; it seems to
keepthe feelings, and affections in exercise ;
it keeps the heart alive in its humanity ; and
till we shall be all spiritual, this is alike our
duty and interest.”
INCREASING LIGHT.
Christianity has kept pace with science
and the arts. At no previous date of the
world’s history has it been professed in great
er purity of doctrine, by as great a number
ofJhumari beings, and with so much of the
respect and reverence of mankind. It is
now more than ever the religion of the world.
Every advance in science, every investiga-.
tion oi the ruins of the buried past, every
step staken in the emancipation of the race,
serves but the more to confirm its claims, to
illustrate its truth, to develop© its energies,
and to strengthen its hold upon the con
science and heart. Every thing indicates
that ere long every other religion must give
place to the religion of the Bible, and flee
away as the shadows of night before the ris
ing sun.
HERE AND THERE.
HERE !
All is vanity; surely every man walketh
in a vain show.— Psalms 39 : 5, 6.
there!
. •
Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither
have entered in the heart of man, the things
which God hath prepared for them which
love Him.—l Cor. 2:9.
“Eye hath not seen it, my gentle boy,
Ear hath not heard its deep songs of joy;
Dreams cannot picture a world so fair;
Sorrow and death may not enter there,
Time cannot breathe on its fadeless bloom,
For beyond the clouds and beyond the tomb,
It is there, it is there, my child.”
From the Christian Observer.
SAD HEART, BE STILL.
Sad heart, be still:
The rod is in a Father’s hand,
And given in love,
To guide thee to that better land,
* Prepared above.
Those loving ones—
Who are not dead but gone before—
Have reached that home;
And standing on the “shining shore,”
Are- calling, “ Come.”
* Earth’s trials o’er,
Their pure and happy spirits dwell
In God’9 own light
No sin, no fear of death to quell—
And “ there’s no night.”
INFIDELITY AT THE NORTH.
An influential writer in the N. Y,’ “Ob
server” speaks with alarm of the “ advancing
tide of infidelity.” He says :—“There are
certain stubborn facts increasing daily, in
every part of the country, to which no Chris
tian can close his eyes. The word of God
is fast losing its authority, and this declen
sion is as manifest among professors cf re
ligion and church-goers, as in any other class
es. He states that there is, “to a great ex
tent, a distaste for Biblical preaching,” and
that “the consequence is the pews are de
serted in the afternpon in churches where
such preaching can be heard,” and that “un
der the formal respect for religion a real in
fidelity exists in the majority of those who
attend ohurch.”
EDUCATION OF SOLDIER’S CHIL
DREN.
A man of great gallantry, after three
years of hard service in the Army of North
ern Virginia, was stricken down in a late
battle. Just before his death, he remal-kcd
to a clergyman, that he was not afraid to die
—death had no terrors for him—but that he
did desire to live that he might educate his
children, who, without his care, must grow
up in ignorance. He was assured that am
ple provision would be made for them in this
regard. “Then,” said he, “I have nothing
more to desire,” and passed away to the
spirit land.
Wrestling with Temper.—lt is said
that Rev. Robert in the earlier part
of his ministry, was easily irritated ; but if
he lost his temper he was deeply humbled,
and would often acknowledge himself to
blame. On one- of these occasions, when a
discussion had become warm, he suddenly
closed the debate, quitted his seat, and re
tiring to a remote part of the room, was
overheard, by a lady who was just entering,
to ejaculate, with deep feeling, “Lamb of
God, Lamb of God, calm my perturbed
spirit.”

The Child’s Index.
Published and edited by S. Boykin, Macon,
Ga., is a Sunday School paper, admirably

stories, pleasing anecdotes, illustrations of
history and natural history, and, by its scrip
tural enigmas, sets the young to “searching
the Scriptures.” Its influence in'horae-life is
good, and it inculcates all the lessons contained
in the Ten Commandments.
It is embellished with beautiful cuts, and
is sustained by an excellent corpsof writers.
The general verdict concerning it is, that it is
the best child’s paper the South has seen.
