the troubling of the waters. Occasionally,
however, some live man, who feels that all
times are suitable for doing God’s work, will
“get up” a meeting between the times, and
by persistent effort, engage the brethren in a
good work. Such meetings are very encour
aging, and I would be glad to see them occur
oftener. The idea of waiting foi a certain
season of the year to convert men, does not
accord with my views of ministerial duty.
A few of our pastors are laboring rightly,
and it is to be hoped that the number will be
greatly increased.
Our missionary operations are progressing
finely. Several towns have been occupied,
and the Baptist standard now waves in the
breeze of heaven from many a place where
it was never planted before. A steady gain
is shown by the reports of the missionaries.
A strong church has been organized at Mary
ville, and the cause at that place is safe be
yond a contingency.
We have had a great deal of rain lately,
which is interfering greatly with the work of
the farmers. With this exception, our agri
cultural interests are in a prosperous condi
tion. The late heavy frost did considerable
damage in some places. In others its effects
were scarcely perceptible. The fruit, gener
ally, is uninjured. M.
General Meeting.
“ The General Meeting” of the Fourth
District of the Georgia Association was held
last week at the Ebernezer church, in Wilkes
county. Brother B. M. Callaway read an
admirable paper on “The Inspiration of the
Scriptures,’' which elicited remarks from
one or two brethren. The following resolu
tions were adopted, of which, 1 presume, you
will have official notice:
Resolved , That this General meeting heart
ily approve the late organization at Carters
ville, of th-3 '• Baptist Sunday School Con
vention fur the State of Georgia.”
Resolved, That we recommend that some
Sunday School Association be established in
connection with the Georgia Association, to
be auxiliary to the State Sunday School
Convention.
Resolved, That we suggest to the other
General Meetings of our Association that
they would take some action, similar to ours,
in order that this subject may be brought
with unanimity of sentiment, before the
Georgia Association.
Resolved, That our brethren of the minis
try be affectionally urged to preach the gos
pel statedly and frequently to the children
of their respective charges.
Can I venture on still another subject?—
To-day, as I came out of church, a young
man, who had knelt for prayer, but who is a
stranger, said to me : “ Sir, do you know
what is the greatest obstable in the way of
sinners ?” I replied, “My friend, do tell
me what it is.” “ I think, sir,” said he “it
is the pride and fashion of the church .” —
This fell heavily on my heart; and what
could 1 say to controvert the accusation ?
A Baptist brother remarked, the other day,
“I am no Methodist, for 1 believe that relig
ion never was designed to make our pleasures
less.” But the pleasures which ho referred
to were those which do not make for the
peace of the soui, and the building up of
Christian character. And it was an unwit
ting compliment to Methodism, when the re
striction of such pleasures was attributed to
it. The liberty of the gospel is not to give
occasion to the flesh; to grieve the Holy
Spirit; to bring reproach on the name of
Christ. Yet it is strange that such an absurd
view of the liberty of the children of God
should be held, and acted on, and become a
stumbling-block in the way of sinners?
Whatever may be true of the invisible
church, as “a chosen generation, a royal
priesthood, a holy nation,” this description
does not cover the character of the visible
churches of Christ. The parable of the net,
“ which gathered of every kind,” is the Di
vine illustration of the present result of the
preached Word. In this regard the “King
dom of Heaven” is analogous to the mate
rial world and the gracious soul, in both of
which we find the evil with the good. And
may not God design good to His church
from the evil—the same sort of good which
Israel received from the Philistines in the
land ; that Paul derived from the thorn in his
flesh; that the Master experienced from the
nails which pierced his hands and feet? To look
for non conformity to the world, all over
the church, is to expect now what the Apos
ties did not see in their day, and what the
Saviour declared would not be, until the an
gels should gather the tares from the wheat,
at the end ot the world.
I would not intimate that all in the church,
who are too much conformed to the world,
are, to God’s people, as tares are to wheat;
as the Philistines to the Hebrews. Paul
said: The evil which I would not, that I
do.” And this may be true of many who
have temptations as strong as the Apos
tie’s, and power of resistence far less than
his. As the subjects of the God of this
world are taught, by Divine Grace, to be
conformed to the image of God’s Son, so the
subjects of that grace are taught, in turn, by
the power of satan to be conformed to the
God of this world.
llow those who are known to be tares,
must be dealt with, there can.be no question.
To say to them, “ Be not conformed to the
world,” will be as availing as to say to the
oak : Be thou an olive tree. The seed of
another life is in them. They cannot be
otherwise than they are —except by the law,
which has no application in the kingdom of
heaven: “Ye must be born again.”
But, to change the figure, what must be done
with the iambs and sheep which go astray ?
If they cannot be made to see the error of
their way, is there any alternative but that
they also be put with them who are without,
that they v\ay he saved? But will the sheep
not see the way when plainly pointed out to
them? Will they not hear the voice of the
Shepherd, who speaks rightly to them ? The
best of the fold is, that iliey hear and obey.
And what saith the Truth with respect to
worldly conformity among Christians!
First. It is opposed to the Divine purpose,
in regard to the elect. “ When he did fore-
He also did predestinate to be
formed to the image of His Son.” Worldly
conformity is fighting against God.
Secondly. It is in violence of the essence
of personal religion. Tfte last analysis of
riligion is, “ Christ in us, the hope of glory.”
prom this “seed of God” arise enlightened
views of truth and duty ; holy desires and
affections for God and things divine; and
eirneet efforts to do the will of our Heavenly
Father. To all of this experience and
character the spirit of worldly conformity
consists as darkness consists with light, as
death with life, as Baal with Christ.
Thirdly. It is altogether hostile to that
Christian development, which is the end of
the means of grace. In order to not to be
barren and unfruitful in spiritual character,
and to have an abundant admittance into the
kingdom of heaven, we must “ give all dil
iirence to add” grace to grace. But let the
diligence be to detract from spirituality, and
not'to add; and wbat progress will or can be
made ? W hat kind of salvation can be gained ?
This is demolishing instead of edifying the
timple of God. And can the Christian rest
under such allegation of sacrilege?
Fourthly. The church is damaged, as the
fact which suggested these lines shows, by
the worldly conduct of its members. The
world has no right to discriminate between
characters in the church. They claim to be
one and the same. And the evil which is
true of any member, “ in good standing and
full fellowship,” may and will be laid at the
door of the c'mrch.
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: ATLANTA, GA., THURSDAY. MAY 18.1871.
Lastly. Souls may be ruined by it. Sup
pose that young man should be lost. The
worldliness of certain Christians which he
specified to me may not be answerable ; but
will it not be the means, in the hands of Sa
tan, of his destruction? And this is one case
out of a thousand.
But, brother Shaver, I do not propose to
convert my letter into a sermon. If it goes
no further than your eye and under your ta
ble, it will not be displeasing to the writer.

The attention of the other General Meetings of
the Georgia Association i9 especially called to the
consideration of the following resolutions adopted
by the General Meeting of the 4th district:
1. Resolved, That this General Meeting heartily
approve the late organization, at Cartersville, of
the Baptist Sabbath School Convention for the
State of Georgia.
2. Resolved, That we recommend that some Sun

3. Resolved, That we suggest to the other Gen
eral Meetings of our Association, that they take
some action similar to ours, in order that this sub
ject may be Drought with unanimity of setiment
before the Georgia Association.
4. Resolved, That our brethren of the ministry
be affectionately urged to preach the gospel sta
tedly and frequently, to the children of their re
spective charges. E. E. Gresham, Clerk.
Rev. Geo. C. Needham,
The Irish Evangelist, has recently preached,
during a stay of eleven days, to our community,
and I take pleasure in witnessing to the clearness,
the unction, the spirituality and the Scripturalness
of his preaching. Through his acquaintance with
Scripture and his devout spirit, comfort and in
struction have been imparted to many hearts,
while the naseent purpose to study the atonement
in the light of the Old Testament types, upon
which he so frequently dwelt, is already manifest
among believers. Though as yet wo have had no
accessions through his preaching, we cannot but
believe that God will give the increase. May the
Lord anoint our brother, and ever keep him near
the cross of Christ. D. XV. Gwnt. •

Death op Mr. Peter Kimball.— We are pain

father to the grave, and almost hear the sullen
fall of the clods as they cover from their sight
forever him who gave them birth, and who en
dowed them with a heritage that makes them the
useful and respected citizens that they are. We
know how to sympathize with them. We under

“IKIIHSTID WORDS”
Prof. G. W. LINTON, l Fditors
Prof. H. M. TEASDALE, [ 1 ’- DITORg -
This new and attractive book is just published by
the Sunday School Board, S. B. C. It contains 59
tunes, and 121 hymns. Os the tunes, 45 are new, and
the rest are choice pieces selected from the best authors.
Many of the hymns are also new, and the balance have
been selected with great care. The design of the book
is to inspire, in song, the purest and best religious sen
timent in our schools. Secular and political songs are
entirely excluded. The book sings simply of jesus,
and is admirably adapted to the wants of all our South
ern schools. One of our best Professors of Music says
of it: “I venture to say, that the book contains more
useful tunes and byntns, and those that will wear, than
anything of the kind in the mnrket.” Another of our
best Southern musicians says: “While the book is
Southern, all political and national songs are wisely
excluded from its pages. Ourschools are full of North
ern books; and these, without exception, have some
reference to political or sectional opinions, which make
them objectionable. The book is a good one, and lam
persuaded that it will be received, and that it will ob
tain a wide circulation thioughout the South. The
paper is superior, and the printing and binding are
well executed. I bid it a heut ty God-speed.”
The book is sold at the following low prices: Single
copy, 25 cents; 1 dozen, $2.75; 50 copes, $11; and 100
copies, S2O. Orders may be sent to Rev. T. C. Teas
