Bigby Association, West Alabama.
The Bigby Association has just closed its
19th session with the Sumterville church,
Sumter county, Ala., October 7th, 1871.
Rev. A. R. Scarboro, Moderator; Rev. C.
W. Buck, Clerk ; Col. J. C. Brown, Treasuv
rer. Present, the usual number of delegates,
and most of the churches represented. A
lew churches reported precious revivals, and
all manifested a deeper interest in all the ob
jects before the body than at any time since
the war. Several Sabbath schools within its
bounds. The school at Sumterville numbers
eighty pupils —is “evergreen”—a model
school, under the efficient superintendence of
our young Bro., Rev. J. H. Hendon, one of
our best Sabbath school men.
Introductory sermon by Rev. J. C. Wright;
Missionary, by Rev. A. R. Scarboro—-.a lucid
explanation of mission obligation. Preach
ing during the session by brethren Vaughn,
Stone, Farrow and Hamberlin. The sermons
were thoughtful and impressive, the congre
gations large and attentive. The sermon of
Prof. J. B. Hamberlin, President of the Me
ridian College, on “ Christian Education,” was
a masterly exhibition of that subject, and if
printed, should be read by all our schools and
seminaries. And while Bro. Hamberlin is
only of middle age, one of our ablest minis
ters and most excellent pastors, he is, too, no
doubt, one of the beat College executive offi
cers and educators in the South.
One feature of interest in the body, was its
Domestic Mission work for the past year,
under its missionary, Bro. Farrow, who
proved to be the right man in the right place,
and his mission in its bounds a decided
succpss. Another, was several accessions to
it3 depleted ministerial ranks. Rev. Farrow,
missionary, Dr. B. F. Hendon, pastor at Sum
terville, Rev. L. M. Stone, pastor at Gaines
ville, ordained ministers, have been added ;
and young brethren J. H. Hendon and
Patterson, licensed —all of them educated
men, valuable heralds of the Cross.
We need scarcely add, that the Associa
tion was most hospitably entertained by the
church and community. J. C. Wright.
Entard, Oct., 1871.
Associational Varieties.
There is much variety in Baptist Associa
tions as in anything I am acquainted with,
nearly. 1 rather think a chapter on this sub
ject would be interesting.
The Georgia —the old Georgia—“ the ban
ner Association,” as she has been called—is
so entirely the opposite of some others, that
the contrast is palpable, and thus variety pro
duced. I have been very anxious, ever since
1 was at the Georgia, to write about it, but
this is really my first opportunity ; and even
now, I am listening every minute to be call
ed to get in the hack and go to the (perhaps)
“ banner Association” of Alabama. I will
now only say that lamin “ Alabam.” I en
joyed the privilege of being at the last con
vention of the Georgia Association at Green
wood church in Lincoln county. “ A bad
beginning makes a good ending,” it is said ;
and in respect to the weather, it was so in
the beginning of this meeting —dark, cool and
rainy ; but it faired off in the evening of Fri
day, the first day, and was very pleasant.
But between the mud, rain, and surrounding
creek, my party missed the introductory
preached by Bishop Fortscn, and well spoken
of. Now, in the time allowed me to write, 1
cannot go into details. The meeting was de
lightful, considering the eating, (a good part
to consider, especially when a sister carries
coffee for an infirm brother;) the repre
sentation; the baptisms; the funds sent up
and collected; the number of agents present;
the respectability of (most of) the agents,
and the treatment they received ; the charac
ter of the preaching ; the favor shown Mercer
University, and Mercer High School; the
Orphan’s Home ; the Theological Seminary ;
the Boards, all; Kind Words and Index ; the
behaviour, mainly, of tho large audience on
Sunday; the good feeling and harmony prev
alent ; the excellent moderating and clerking;
the dignity and order of the meeting, and es
pecially my conductor and conveyance to and
from Washington to Greenwood. The meet
ing, in consideration of all these, (and any
thing 1 have omitted,) was a success—a splen
did meeting.
The pains ul absence of Dr. Mell alone de
tracted from the meeting, and that pain was
much alleviated by the report of his conva
lescence, while earnest and special prayer
was made for his recovery and his continued
usefulness. I may say, that the subject of
Temperance was made prominent by report
and discussion.
More funds paid to, or sent up for, mission
ary purposes than last year. 1 wish I could
write as I would like to write about the
Georgia Association ; her zeal and liberality,';
her noble, working laymen, and her efficient,
genial, and working, able ministry. But I
cannot. The Lord bless the body in its mem
bers, ministry and churches. There is some
use of incurring the expense, undergoing the
trouble and doing the work necessary to As
sociations, when accomplishing something by
meeting, as this one does.

The Theatre.
The advocates of what is miscalled “ the
legitimate drama,” plead for it as a token of
intellectual appetency, of culture and refine
ment. We commend to their notice, the
words of Dr. Moehler in his “ Symbolism
« Attendance at all theatrical shows, which,
on account of their connection with idolatry,
and of their gross nature, not seldom shock
ing every tender feeling, were formerly inter
dicted in the ancient church during her con
flict with heathenism ; and which, from their,
at all events, equivocal moral tendency, have,
in subsequent ages, been ever regarded with
a suspicious eye by men of piety ; attendance
at all theatrical shows, we say, is in the com
munity of Quakers not tolerated. In this
particular, they were certainly led by a good
spirit. W ith the progress of intellectual cul
tivation, (to view the subject only from a
lower point of view,) theatrical entertain
ments will certainly disappear ; or, at least,
will be abandoned to men who are not more
enlightened than the men, who flatter them
selves with being, in our time, the representa
tives of civilization. Were dignity’ and ame
nity of manners coupled with sincerity—were
various knowledge and intellectual conversa
sation more prevalent in the social crcles
than they really are, many of those who may
be termed passionate friends and patrons of
the theatre, would prefer to derive the enjoy
ment they so highly value, rather from real
life than from the so troublous sphere of fic
tion, and would leave such entertainments to
the uneducated or less educated, who think
thereby to raise themselves above the crowd.
In fact, nothing is more fit to exhibit, in all
its nakedness, the utter insignificancy and
void of conversation in cities, than frequent
attendance at the theatre. The Quakers will
one day be praised as the leaders of those,
who, like them, but not precisely from the
same motives, renounce the theatre, as they
* would a child’s doll, and with indifference
abandon its entertainments to the populace.”

Doctor C.—Deep sad ness, sorrow and unaffect
ed mourning fill the cup of Georgia Baptists this
week. Other States will join in truest sympathy.
All will realize the loss. Personally, we stand
stricken and sorrowing. He was our warm, true
and personal friend. For eight years and over,
he has almost annually been an ever welcome
guest at our humble home. He was a great favorite
with the members of our family. He often express
ed, in our midst, his feelings of satisfaction at his
home-like enjoyment during these social and frater
nal re-unions. Our last interview was on the morn
ing of Friday, August 18th, 1871. It was one of
the most pleasant, and one ever to be remembered
by those who joined in the service. After the
morning meal, as is, and has been for many years,
our custom, morning worship was observed, and
on this occasion double prayers were offered. It
was a memorable time with us. At the cars, on
that morning, we bade him our last earthly fare
well. We mourn, but in the indulgence of hopes
bright and cheering. “It is done .”

It is a News-paper, emphatically.
The making of the largest, nicest and best reli
gious and family newspaper in the world, is within
the ability and reach of the Baptists embraced in
our territory. Such an enterprise is for them and
their descendants, for scores and hundreds of years
to come.
Fanners who desire a large and valuable varie
ty of practical information, adapted to their call

tance. '
Prompt and nobi.e are the responses of some
of the brethren to whom statements of account
have been sent. There are others who design do

much to us now, the mail list can be made to con
form to the fact. Speak out, brethren ; tho work
is for your comfort and edification.
L. M’s.—During our attendance upon Associa
tions this year, it w r as our happy privilege to re

keeping the soil to the top, and have it rich with
fresh woods earth, ashes, &c. Pulverize perfectly,
and plant in beds five feet wide, three rows in each
bed, one foot from margin of walks, rows 18 inches
apart.
Rev. S. R. Freeman, D.D., of Alabama.—Du
ring the past few weeks, it has been our privilege,
pleasure and profit to listen to several sermons
from this brother, and we take this means of re
peating, what has before been said, that it is diffi
cult for us to call to mind the discourses of others
in which there was more, or eqnal, depth of con
secutive thought, power and appropriateness of
illustration, and with all other elements which con
stitute the greatness and success of pulpit efforts,
than we heard from his lips. The only modifica
tion in his pulpit ministrations we could risk,
would be in the power and pitch of his voice.
This he uses pleasantly, but rather liberally in
volume for acute and sensative ears.
Georgia Baptist Orphans’ Home. —The
undersigned Committee, appointed for the

Corn. —lt is estimated, on good authority, that
one farmer, in Albemarle county, Va., will har

in the event of his departure. A broad and
inviting field for Christian work is presented
in Florida, and its cultivation must be duly
regarded and provided for. Bro. Ardis knows
the wants of the field, and can greatly aid in
supporting them, and we hope he will do so.

The bed of the river seems to
be filling up at a rate which threatens, in the
course of time, to seriously affect navigation
during the dry season. This year, at St.
Louis, while the surface of the water has been
four feet and one inch above the lowest stage
of water attained by the river in 1863, there
was at the same time only about five inches
difference in the depth of the channel between
these years, showing that the bottom of the
river must be three feet and four inches higher
than it was in 1863. So in 1856 the bed of
the river was found to be two feet and three
inches higher than it was ten years previous.

of lots or building sites for that Institution.
All assignments or propositions for such,
should be forwarded before the first of De

The Finances of Tennessee. —After de
ducting all the reliable assets and securities
of the State, other than taxes levied and un

this amount, $1,668,417.27 is the floating
debt. The remainder represents the bonded
debt, with interest to the first of next Jan'
uary. The principal of this debt is about
$15,000,000, which bears in annual interest of
$900,000. This sum, added to the current
expenses of the State, gives $1,879,204.44 as
the amount necessarj|to be raised by taxation
in order to meet payments required
of the State. Before the war, when Tenne9
see was worth twice so much as she now is,
the annual payments seldom exceeded $900,-
000.
Beecher on his Congregation. — Henry
Ward Beecher said, in a recent discourse :
“ Think you that thes&six or seven on whom
the New York Times' axe fell are sinners
above all in New York? [Laughter.] I will
tell you nay. If all men that have been
guilty of frauds in New York were to have a
tower fall on them, there would be funerals
enough for fifty years. [Laughter.] Men
are thought to be respectable when they have
heaped up money by the most disreputable
means in banks, in brokers’ offices, and rail
ways. Is it right, in such a community as
this, to beat down these men as if they alone
were culpable ? What have they done ?
Stolen? So have you. Lied? So have you.
False to their oaths ? So are you.” [Laugh
ter.]
The French Government. —The French
autonomy, as yet, is a matter.
The lecent elections indicate decided hostility
to red republicanism, but Gambetta is con
soled that Bonapartism received as positive a
check. There is, however, a strong under
current of sentiment in favor of restoration.
The present government, perhaps the weak
est that France has ever had, apparently
dreads the event; but in providing against it,
it deals with diplomatic liberality. It sup
presses insults to Eugenie, gives safe conduct
to Prince Napoleon through France to Cor
sica, and protects him from a radioal mob, but
sends soldiers into provinces suspected of
hankering after the old regime.— Sav. News.

F. & H.—The November number of the

ber since is fiftt issue, though all were good
and valuable. It is one of our very best cur
rent agricultural publications, and no farmer
in the land should be without it. Twenty five
dollars a year invested in such works, would
pay a better dividend to anybody than a thou
sand dollars invested in publications we
could name. It would be wise to seek and
sacrifice for the one, and turn away with hor
ror and disgust from the other. J. W. Burke
& Cos., Macon, Ga., will supply you.
g New Georgia Book.
We have before us another new Georgia
book. It is by Rev. John S. Wilson, D.D.,
and from the Franklin Printing House, both
of this city.
The work is a neat volume of 379 pages,
and is gotten up in good style.
It is entitled “ Necrology,” or “ The Dead
of the Synod of Georgia.”
Dr. Wilson is well known as one of the
most venerable and able divines of the Pres
byterian church in the Southern States. To
him, in conjunction with Rev. Dr. N. A.
Pratt, was assigned the duty, some years ago,
by the Synod of Georgia, to collect the me
morials of “ the Departed Brethren” of the
Synod, and to prepare biographical sketches
of them for publication.
The book in hand is the result of the labors
thus undertaken, and well has he performed
the hallowed task imposed.
We have read with great interest many of
these sketches. Some of them can not fail
to be interesting, not only to every Georgian,
but to thousands of others soattered over the
Southern States. We allude specially to the
memories of Dr. Moses Waddell, Dr. John
Brown, Dr. Robert Finley, and Dr. Alonzo
Church ; all of whom, at one time or another,
were Presidents of our State University ; and
several of whom exerted an influence over the
intellect of this and adjoining States, which
will be felt for many years to come. But,
besides these, what Georgian can fail to be
deeply interested in perusing what is herein
collected and treasured up of Dr. Tallmage,
Dr. Hoyt, Dr. Charles Colcock Jones, (who
was one of the most eloquent men we ever
heard speak, either in the palpit or else
where,) Dr. Goulding, Dr. McWhir, Isaac
Waddell, and John W. Reid, to say nothing
of others on the list 1
We feel truly gratified that Dr. Wijson
has been spared to finish this great book, and
to perform, in the manner he has, the sacred
duty assigned him by the Synod. We are
also highly gratified to see such a specimen
of book manufacture at our very doors.
The time will soon come, we trust, when
Georgia authors will not have to go out of
the limits of the State in search of publishers,
or of printing establishments capable of put
ting up work of the sort, so far as mechanical
execution is concerned, in as neat and elegant
a style as it can be done elsewhere.
This time will come, when our people will
patronize our own publications, of sound, use
ful and instructive productions, by our own
writers, instead of going in search of mental
food among the abominable garbage which is
thrown in such abundance from the press in
other qaurters, mainly because it is sensa
tional and cheap. This book of Dr. Wilson
wo recommend to our readres as one well
worthy to be in every family library.

Who Wants a Library.
I offer two hundred and fifty volumes at fifty cents a
volume—few than the cost of binding ! Many of these
books are very rare and valuable, and cannot be ob
tained elsewhere for either love or money, as they are
out of print.
I would suggest to the friends of Penfield, as the
Library of Mercer University has been (or will be) re
moved from that town, the propriety of purchasing the
above-offered Library as the nucleus ot a Library for
the High School there to be established. There are in
it about CO volumes of Philosophical and Classical
works, 34 volumes of bound periodicals, American and
English, (very rare,) with dates extending as far back
as 1791, and upwards of 50 volumes of Profane and
Sacred History 1 A rare chance for a cheap Lihrsry!
1 send a list of the books to Col. J. J.Toon, Atlanta,
who is authorized to sell them and pay himself for this
notice out of the proceeds of sale. Apply to him.

IN MEMORY OF MISS ELLA M. JOHNSON, who
died October 15th, 1870, in the 16th year of her age.
Presented by the Committee appointed forthe purpose,
and adopted and ordered to be published, by James’
Chapel Sabbath school-
The portals of the tomb have opened to receive an
other of our number, and this time it is one whose
young feet had scarcely pressed the threshhold of wo
manhood. In the freshness of youth, in the bloom
and beauty of innocent maidenhood, our beloved fel
low-teacher, Ella M. Johnson, has passed the gates of
death and entered tho world that is hidden from our
view. We doubt not she has gone the shining way
that upward leads to God. Pure as the demirop that
sparkles in the light of morning, gentle as the little
flower that bends to the passing breeze, we feel there
is no place for her save in the bosom of her God. Our
eyes can no longer behold the form of our dear de
parted, but the memory ol her virtues remains with us.
The flower has been taken from an earthly garden to
bloom in a heavenly one, but the air aronDd is still
sweet with its fragrance. Here, in the Sabbath school,
we knew her as a faithful, diligent teacher. Regularly
and punctually at her post of duty, her fidelity as a
teacher was rare and beautiful. She was a sweet and
gentle shepherdess, trying to lead her little lambs to
the arms of the Good Shepherd. Himself. At home,
she was a fireside aDgel, in all her relations. Possessed
of a naturally mild temper, she had the “ornament of
a meek and quifet spirit, which is, in the sight of God,
of great price.’’ A loving, dutiful daughter, a kind,
affectionate sister, and a faithful, generous friend, she
won, unconsciously, and kept without an effort, the
love of all who knew her. It is not strange she had
no enemies, for the poison of slaDder and idle gossip
was not in her tongue, but her lips dropped the honey
of kindness. Artless and unsuspecting herself, she
would not imagine evil in others, but was always ready
to plead for the erring, and spread the mantle of chari
ty over their faults. We uatuinUy ask, Whence came
such loveliness of character? Ije answer may be
given in a breath: Our Ella was a Christian. She
united with the church of Christ in her ninth year, and
her life wa» in harmony with her professions. When
she drew near the dark valley, she feared do evil, for it
was only the valley of the shadow of death, and not of
death itself, through which she wa3 about to walk.
She did not seem to be dying, but only falling asleep,
like a fair infant on its mother's breast. She has left
a blank in oar Sabbath school, as well as in the social
circle, and the family, which will never be filled till we
are reunited with our deceased sister iu heaven. Sor
rowing mother, brothers, sisters and friends, let us
mingle our tears with yours, and lay this tribute of
affection on the new-made grave of her who has fallen
with the autumn leaf, but who is already blossoming in
eternal spriDg.
