Effort—Success. —The brethren who an
nounced their determination, a few weeks
wjce, to place a copy of the Index and Bap
tist in every family of their congregations
are succeding admirably in carrying out their
commendable purpose. The mails bring us
letters from these zealous co-workers, every
few days, with new names and annual pay
ments.
What pastor, minister, deacon, or other
Christian, can claim exemption from making
similar efforts for so potent an agency for the
cause of Christ ?
Will not every one, who is pressing “to
ward the mark for the prize of the high call
ing of God in Christ Jesus,” put forth a part
of his or her strength to advance an isstru
mentality so well adapted to awaken indolent
Christians, and arouse the spirit of inquiry
among dead sinners ?
Can they not be induced to act in this good
work without delay ] Now ! now ! is the
time to work !
Since our special terms of subscription to
Ministers of the Gospel, ($3 a year,) was an
nounced, we have enrolled the names of many
from different sections of the country who
might not have enjoyed the benefit of our
columns without such reduction. Several of
these brethren have expressed their high ap
preciation of the paper, and manifested an
interest for its increased circulation.
Can these “ embassadors for Christ ” intro
duce into their churches and congregations a
more efficient and certain agency for good
than the Index aijd Baptist. Will they not
arouse themselves to the work?
“ To-day —To-day.” Psalms xcv : 7.
We hope M. E. 8., of Oko
lona, Mississippi, will pardon the liberty which
we take in giving an extract from his business
letter of the 21st instant. Brother B. has
shown himself an active and fast friend of the
enterprise, and realizes the importance of
vigorous efforts to sustain and widen its influ
ence :
“ I am truly gratified to observe the many
evidences of satisfaction which the paper seems
to secure, especially among the most intelli
gent of the denomination. I know if it gave
every body the comfort and the support it
does me, you would have a host of subscri
bers. My father was a subscriber from its'
origin, then known as the Columbian Stan. I
was raised under its light. I can noiT do
without it.” i, * ‘ *
Alabama has the numerical and pecuniary,
in addition to the moral and intellectual
strength, to add five thousand new names to
our list within one month, if the hearts of
believers were animated with a proper zeal
toward every “ work of faith and labor of
love,” and therefore toward this in proportion
to the important bearing of the Christian
press on the progress of the truth and the
prosperity of Zion. Will the brethren make
trial of their ability to help the paper by an
early, general and vigorous effort ?
Ought such things to be ?—A working
brother writes us from Lawrenceville as fol
lows :
“I am serving four churches. lam satisfied
that not one member of the same takes a reli
gious paper of any kind. I intend to try to
get a few of the brethren to take the Index
and Baptist.” ,
How hard is it for a religious paper to
flourish under such circumstances, but how
much more difficult is it for our churches to
prosper, deprived of wholesome religious

are limits to human forbearance. It may
seem to have ‘ the back of a camel,’ which
bears such burdens as to earn the title, “ship
of the desertbut beware of ‘ the last fath
er and make very sure that you know which
feather is the last.
Now, our forbearance is human—sometimes
we fear, in (his point, very human. Now and
then, it gives way under severe strain ; not as
often as it once did, indeed, but still too often
for our comfort—to say nothing of the com
fort of other people, and hoping, also, that
they will say nothing.
Well: we are in apprehension of such an
unpleasant experience at this writing. The
cords are tightening, and we should not be
surprised to hear them snap at any moment.
May we take you into, our confidence and ask
your sympathy ?
We are minded to quarrel with brother
Boykin, of Macon. Just look, will you ? at
the title he gives to his Sabbath school month
ly. And then, with arguments of precisely
the right shade, (for if blushing be virtue’s
color, the true colorof persuasion in these de
generate iimes is gr|^n —Blair’s Rhetoric is
nothing to Chittenden and Spinner’s,) he con
strains the proprietor of the Index and Bap
tist, to publish it in these columns, —“ The
Child’s Delight, The Child’s Delight, The
Child’s Delight.” What does this amount to,
if not to the charge that because the paper
delights us, we, forsooth, are a child / A
pretty insinuation truly, to be flaunted in the
face of one, gray (but, mark you, by no means
old) enough to call him son!
Do we not well to be angry ? We think
we do. But anger has not yet conquered our
prudence. We are still cool enough to act
on the rule: before you take a quarrel on your
hands, rally your backers; get first a fair
showing of ‘ cooperation ’ and ‘ intervention
on which you can rely, and then begin —if
you must. Os course, we look to our readers,
in such an exigency, to stand by us. Just
subscribe every one of you for brother Boy
kin’s paper. He will then have the same rea
son for twitting you as a child that he has for
twitting usand you will have our ground of
resentment against him. It will be a common
cause ; aitd we will show him, won’t we ? what
it is bo * call names.” His audacious adver
tisement on the fourth page, will show you
ho\£ little it will cost you, in this matter, to
help us and—to ‘delight’ yourselves.
“ The Ladies’ Depository.” —This is the
title of the Association formed by a number
cf the noble women of Baltimore, to open a
store in that city to receive needle and other
work which may be sent from the South, and
to dispose of it solely for the benefit of the
owners. “ Orders will also be received at the
Depository for any kind of work, so as to
provide employment for those who have not
the necessary materials.” The store is locat
ed on Lexington Street, Baltimore, No. 97£,
and went into operation Feb. 11th. The Of
ficers of the Association are : President, Mrs.
Peyton Harrison ; *Vice President, Mrs. John
H. B. Latrobe; Treasurer, Mrs. W. W.
Spence; Recording Secretary, Mrs. Thomas
Murdoch ; Secretary, Mrs. James A. Stewart;
with a Board of Managers, twenty-four in
number.
This movement affords an opportunity of
self-help to worthy but indigent ladies at the
South; and we repeat the suggestion that our
Relief Committees—or, in their failure to act,
some others of our public spirited citizens—
say, perhaps, a Committee of Ladies in each
city—open appropriate depots for the recep
tion and transmission of useful and fancy ar
ticles, of which our noble, needy Southern
women may wish to dispose as a means of
self-support. . .

the Bible is not, and what it is, and how' to

knowledged ability of the author gives prom
ise that this work, in the line of his life-lortg
studies, and written in the popular style, will
prove of great value to all classes.

Catechism for Beginners. —Parents and
Sunday school superintendents and teachers
are frequently making inquiries about a ques
tion book adapted to the capacity of young
children. Numerous attempts have been
made by authors to produce such a book, and
not without some success. Yet there is room
in this department for still further efforts.
Among the numerous works of the class re
ferred to," Primary Bible Questions” possess
advantages which are worthy of consideration—
viz: Each answer is made to contain a well
defined Bible truth, independently of those
preceding or following. This little book is in
use in many of the largest schools in Georgia

Sunday school teachers who have used it.

The last “ reconstruction ” bill, with what
is known as Sherman’s amendment, as it pass
ed both Houses, provides for the division of
the “ rebel States ” into five military districts,
each under the control of an officer of the regu
lar army, with such military force as may be
necessary.
All civil or State government to be subor
dinate to the military, and this to continue
until the people of each State shall form State
governments in entire conformity to the pro
visions of this bill, recognizing universal suf
frage, except to those disfranchised by the re
bellion, and shall adopt the constitutional
amendment offered by the last Congress. If
this bill is vetoed by the President it will be
immediately passed by a two-third vote, so
it may be regarded as the ultimatum for the
South.
Emigration to Venezuela is now attracting
considerable attention in certain parts of the
South. It is said that eight hundred families
have already located in that country from the
Southern States. Very favorable terms are
granted them by the government. Venezuela

and is probably equal to it in fertility and
salubrity, especially in the mountain districts.
Ex-Gov. Brown, in response to a request
from several of the citizens of Atlanta, has
written a lengthy communication upon the
political situation, in which he reviews the
position of parties at the North, and gives
with frankness his opinions as to the duty of
our people in the present emergency.- He
recommends the immediate calling of a con
vention of delegates elected by the people, to
change the constitution so as to conform to
the recent legislation in Congress, and the
adoption of the constitutional amendment.
He thinks that after this is done, we will at
once be admitted to representation, and be
technically reconstructed.
