asked a year to consider it, and it is aleo inti
mated we have had the question under con
sideration silica 1859, and a casual reader
might think for forty years. Now, Bro. S.,
give us our dues. I have been a member of
Oostanaula Association since the war, and
have attended her Conventions. I never
heard the question discussed until last year,
(1870,) at Armuchey, where it was deter
mined by that body that it would be best to
unite with the Baptist State Convention, and
so instructed her churches, as you will see by
referring to her minutes of that year, and re
ferred the question to them, to be answered
in their letters at their next Association ; and
at her meeting at Connacena church, 1871, a
large majority of her churches who sent up
in their letters, anything in reference to it,
voted to be connected ; and, to the very best
of my recollection, when the letters were
read, only three voted against *t. You will
find a resolution in our minutes, page 7lh,
which reads as follows: “ Whereas, the
churches composing this body have deter
mined, by a majority vote, to join the Geor
gia Baptist State Convention : therefore, Re
solved, That this Association proceed to elect
delegates to said Convention, and that the
Clei k be instructed to prepare the petitionery
letter asking for admission into that body.”
Now, I will give our Clerk’s statement as
adopted by the Association, which reads as
follows: “After much deliberation on the
above resolution, and at the request of some
of the brethren whose churches said No Con
vention, and that they might have time for
reflection, and a unity of feeling, it was, on
motion, agreed to postpone the completion of
this action until the next annual session of
this body in 1872.” You can see from this
resolution and statement that the Association,
with the spirit of charity, deferred action un
til its next session, that the churches who
voted No Convention might act in harmony
with the majority, which we have every rea->
son to hope will be done.
You will find, by referring to our minutes
of 1859, the question was .as to joining the
Cherkee Convention. Some of my aged
brethren tell me, who were present at that
Association, that they opposed joining the
Cherokee, from the fact that they were favor
able toward the State Convention, and be
lieved then, as now, that one Convention was
enough for Georgia, and one College was as
much as we could or would support. You
can easily see the strait between which w r e
have been placed,—some for the Cherokee,
some for the State, some for none. We are
now inclined, with a few exceptions, to rally
around our State Convention and her College,
and also our State paper. Put me down a
whole scholar.
I would like to notice another article found
in the Index of October 19th, headed, “ Facts
as they Are.” I am inclined to think what
1 have already might suffice for an
answer. It is said, in that article, we are
urged and taunted, and taunted and urged,
and denounced by some that call themselves
the sense of the Association, and other leading
spirits, who are trying to lead the Associa
tion into connection with an organization with
which it has no desire to be connected.
Now, my esteemed brother, let us not de
ba'e this question with a taunting spirit. I
was sorry to see the words called themselves
the sense of the Association. Had we not
the right, as delegates sent by the churches
convened at Armuehee, to give it as our opin
ion that it was the sense of that body that it
was best to become connected with the Geor
gia Baptist State Convention ? It was done
by majority vote. 1 was charged by some
as having put this claim into our minutes. 1
only copied the resolution as acted upon and
handed in to me; which risolution I have
to day. I but speak my own sentiments and
those of many of my brethren when I say we
have long desired to be connected with the
Convention, but never strongly urged our
claim until last year, from the simple fact we
feared there would be some opposition.
It was urged in the Association last year,
at Armuehee, that the delegates representing
the several churches had the undisputed right
to vote the Association into the Convention
without referring it to the churches. That
was my position then; I advocate the same
now. My position is, that an Association has
the right to transact all associational business.
The churches allow them this right, and gen
erally select their most intelligent members
as delegates to represent her in any business
that may come before the body. She does
not desire to say who shall be the moderator
or clerk, or who they shall open correspon
dence with. It is not the churches that join
the Convention; and should the Convention
manifest a lordly spirit, as some seem to fear,
the Associations would certainly have a right
to withdraw at once, without referring it to
the churches. 1 only argue the right where
there are doubts in the minds of the delegates.
1 think it is best to fall back to the churches
for advice. No one is a stronger advocate
for the sovereighty of the church than your
humble writer. While 1 hold an Association
has no right to dictate for the churches, she
may dictate for herself.
The question is asked, How came the Bap
tists so divided ? Is there any clause in the
law of Christ which He has given for the
government of the churches, so construed as
to produce this division ? The Primitive and
Missionary Baptists have the same articles of
faith. I admit it is not the law of Christ nor
the articles of faith. The law is, “Go ye
into all the world and preach the gospel to
every creature.” But while one is in favor
of using every laudable means to carry
out this command, the other seems to
object to any means that may be used.
It is not the Articles of Faith. They are
just the same now. You may find two horns
just alike: they may have been taken off of the
same head ; but they may be trained so as to
give entirely different sounds. I suppose the
fig tree, by which our Saviour passed, had
leaves, bark and limbs just like other fig trees,
but it had no fruit. 1 must say, in all love,
the Article to which I have been referring, had
rather a deadening sound to our missionary
work. I would like to know what was meant
by the word primitive. I frequently meet
with brethren who use it to designate the
Anti-missionary Baptises. I am informed
that primitive means first or oldest. Then,
if the Missionaries are not actuated by the
Spirit of Christ, and the same spirit that ac
tuated Paul ar.d Barnabas, with the love of
Christ constraining them, I am mistaken in
the people. Believing this « true, I regard
them as the first or oldest Baptists. If it is
meant, in speaking of other Baptists, the
Diotrephes spirit of which we read in the
third epistle of John, I have nothing to say.
I will come to the money part and close,
where it is said, some preach that money will
save souls. As I have never heard this
preached, I hope I never will. I have always
heard it preached, that it was used iostru
mentally, to send the gospel, and is one of
the great means of having it preached at home
and abroad. You know, my brother, that
you camiot even preach to churches in your
own neighborhood, without money or its
equivalent. lam now attending West Union
church, that once called you, when their pas
tor had died, but you could not serve them,
from the fact that they were unable to raise
the required sum. Neither can the mission
aries in foreign lands, unless aided. We
agree that it is not monev, but Jesus; for
there is no other name given under heaven or
among men, whereby we can be saved.

Sunday School Convention. —The Sunday
School Convention met in Hayneviile on Fri-
I day, the 27th, and closed on the next day of
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SODTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: ATLANTA, GA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1871,
October, to meet with the Associational Sun
day School Convention, to be held at Mt.
Willing, Lowndes county, commencing Friday
before the fifth Sabbath in Mvsch next, of
which there will be due notice given, with the
programme, through your paper and others.
The congregation at Hayneville was small,
but not without interest and zeal being man
fested by some of the brethren, who discussed
the subjects as laid down in the programme,
with earnestness, and, I trust, with profit.

Revivals. —A few words for North-east
Georgia. The Liberty Association has just
closed her fourth session, which was harmo
nious; several of the churches reporting
revivals. The Camp Creek church held a
meeting of six days, and received 20 by bap
tism. At Union we received Bby baptism.
In fact, the spirit of improvement is gaining
ground in our section, on the subjects of bro
therly love, pastoral support, and Missions.

Revival Influence.
I thought you had been informed of a won
derful revival at Hendry’s church, Hart coun
ty, Ga., but as I have seen no notice of it in the
Index, I will write these lines. Bro. L. W.
Stephens, one of our real Baptist preachers,
has been in charge at said church a long time,
compared with the short term of service ren
dered by many of our preachers, owing to
the frequent changes which occur, in connec
tion with the annual calls, now made by many
of the churches. Yet, doubtless, he has as
warm a place in the hearts of his people there,
as when he first took charge of them, more
than fifteen years ago. And, of course, he is
better prepared to name affectionately, not
only each brother and sister of a church, now
numbering, perhaps, more than three hundred,
but also each of the outsiders, and to know
the condition and wants of each soul to whom
he ministers in holy things. I had the pleas
ure of falling in with him during a series of
meetings in August last, and of preaching a
few times for him. Everything seemed to
be just right, except that he complained of
some old hard cases in the congregation. I
suggested that special prayer be made for
them, and if need be, take them one at a
time. This done, he began to lead in prayer
especially for them, naming each. This re
suited gloriously. So that some of these
hard cases were added to the church, with
enough others to make sixty odd by baptism
Last week Bro. Stephens, accompanied by
Bio. John H. Fortson, of the Georgia Asso
ciation, passed through this community on a
preaching tour, and 1 had the pleasure of
hearing their sermons at Rehoboth, four
miles from my residence, and then of having
them in my family, to sojourn with us and
pray for us. The meeting was very well
attended at Rehoboth, and many tears shed.
At Holly Springs, where I hold member
ship at present, there were only about two
dozen, out of a large membership, present,
although a burial, on each of the two prece
ding days, had occurred there, thus teaching
all to “ be also ready, for in such an hour as
ye think not, the Son of man cometh.” Yet
Bro. Fortson preached as well, apparently,
as if the house had been crowded with anx
ious hearers, and Bro. S. built to the sermon
as a workman does, sometimes, to the main
building. All well done. 1 also followed
them, last Sunday, to Hendry’s, mentioned
above, not only to hear preaching, but to take
a part in such glorious work, by request of
Bro. S., the pastor, and to see how the old
and young members do since the Lord has
done so much for them. Well, Bro. F. gave
a nice talk to the Sunday school, so much so
that I was ready to conclude that this is his
forte, and that he ought just to travel and
work thus in Sunday schools all the time;
but when I had heard his sermon, from the
text, •'* Then they that gladly received the
word were baptized, and the same day there
were added to them about three thousand
souls,” 1 was ready to think that this faithful
preaching would do even more good than the
other work for the children, because even
more abundantly needed, here, where it has
become so unpopular with those of other de
nominations, who wish to commune with us
at the sacred board, for any one of our order
to give our candid, scriptural views of the
subjects and mode of baptism. I was almost
afraid to add a word, lest I should cause some
one to forget what had already been said.
But, to comply with the wish of the pastor,
I took the words, “ Let us go on unto per
fection.” Ist, In knowledge of God’s Word;
2nd, in experimental religion ; and, 3rd, in
practical godliness; and lastly, to that per
fection which believers shall have for both
soul and body, in the future and eternal state,
etc. The brethren passed off towards Hart
well, and, doubtless, as they went they
preached repentance towards God, and faith
towards Jesus, thus testifying to the grace of
God. O, how much good might be done-if
our preachers would travel abroad more fre
quently than they do, to preach the gospel to
new congregations? The Lord shed down so
much o f the Holy Spirit upon us that this
shall be the case. I. H. Goss.

At the usual meeting of the teachers of the
public schools, held by the Normal Class last
Saturday, Mr. Malkm made a farewell ad
dress to his associate teachers: In an inter
esting manner he. traced the history of the
schools of Savannah from the time he entered
upon hiß duties as a teacher, about a quarter
of a century ago, to the present time, lie
then spoke at some length on ihe responsible
duties of a teacher, and closed by giving some
excellent advice, gathered from his long and
varied experience.
At a subsequent meeting of the teachers,
the following resolutions were unanimously
adopted :
Whereas,"our esteemed friend and fellow
teacher, Mr. B. Mailon, Has accepted the po
sition of Superintendent of the Public Schools
of Atlanta, thereby necessitating his removal I
from Savannah:
Resolved, That as teachers we exceedingly
regret that it has become necessary to sever
ties which have so long and pleasantly existed,
and to part with one who so happily sustained
to us the relation of associate teacher, coun
selor and friend.
Resolved, That in common with our citi
zens at large, we feel that in him Savannah
has lost one of her most useful and enterpris
ing educational men.
Resolved , That he leaves in Savannah many
enduring evidences of his faithful, persever
ing and disinterested labors in the- cause of
education; and in the continuance of his noble
work in anew field, he takes with him our
kindest wishes for his highest success and use

French Emigration to Georgia—A Letter to a
Georgia Legislator.
Paris, Oct. 16, 1871.
Dear Sir: I have just had a conversation
with M. Edmond Farrene, editor of the offi
cial journal of tr.e French government, in
which he assured me that if proper steps
were taken, a large tide of French emigration
could be turned to the State of Georgia. The
class of emigrants, too, are the very kind that
we most need—cultivators of the soil—men
who know how to work and who are not
afraid of work, and who expect to work.
Knowing the importance to our State of
securing such emigration, and knowing the in
terest you take iu the subject, I take the lib
erty of suggesting that it would be well for
you to correspond with Monsieur Farrene,
who will readily give you any information
that you may require.
Os course you have been astonished, as all
the rest of the world has been, at the hnmense
amount of surplus capital in France w hich
recent events have brought to light. lam in
formed by French citizens of high intelligence
that proper invitation and inducements might
secure the use of some of this capital for
business enterprises of any kind in the State
of Georgia.
As l do not propose to negotiate in busi
ness transactions myself, and as 1 desire no
appointment either from the State or from
any of its citizens, you will perceive that the
hints that I have dropped are entirely disin
terested.
You are at liberty to make such use of this
letter as you think best.
I am, dear sir,
Very respectfully and truly yours,
H. H. Tucker.

An Honest Boy. —Judge Hayden lost his
pocket-book yesterday, near the new Trinity
church. The pocket-book contained over a
hundred /dollars. It was found by a little
boy, about ten years old, who didn’t stop at
finding the pocket book, but went in search of
Judge 11., and kept on until he found him
and restored to him his pocket-book, with the
money in it. That boy will make a worthy
man. His name is Jacob Menko, a son of
Mr. Joseph Menko, of this city, who ought
to be, and no doubt is, proud of having au
honest boy. — Constitution.
Death. —Death is but a kind of welcome
servant who unlocks with noiseless hands life’s
flower-encircled door to snow to us those we
love. Mourn not the living dead—they who
have passed from this life to one of higher
activity. They who walk with us day and
night, calling us away from solid cares to
things that perish not —they are not “dead,”
but they are dead whose aimless souls reflect
no glory on their path. Our Father waits to
greet us beyond the sea of death. When the
waves break on the shores of the life eternal,
He will come to bear us in safety to our
homes.

M. T. BASS.—Departed this life the 11th of October
last, of consumption, Bro. M. T. Bass. Bro. Buss was
a son of John I. Bass, of Hancock county, Ga., and was
born December 24th, 1833, being, at the time of his
death, 37 yearn 9 mouths and 17 days old. He em
braced religion some time during the year 1850, and
joined the Methodist church. In the year 1853 he be
came dissatisfied with tbe ordinance of baptism as held
by that church, and at once changed his church connec
tion to the Baptist church. In the year 1866, the Bap
tist church of Christ at Bethel, Hancock county, Ga.,
ordained him to the deacon’s office,*wbich office he
filled with honor to himself and the cause of Christ.
Bro. Bass was truly a man of piety, strong in the faith
—that faith that works by love, purifies the heart and
overcomes the world. O, how deatly did be love the
bouse of the Lord ! Loug will the writer aud the church
remember his counsel aud earnest prayers for the pros
perity of his church. Truly may it be said be died as
he lived, trusting in the Lord. The writer of this brief
notice bad frequent conversations with him daring his
illness. He said that he did not 'dread tho issue—that
be Was ready and waiting for the Master to call. He
has left a blank in the church, as well as in the social
circle and family, which cannot be filled. He leaves a
wife, step son aud a long list of relatives aud friends
to mourn his loss; but they mourn' not as those who
have no hope, but our loss is his gain. He served
through the late war, and long will he be remembered
by his comrades in arms. In the army or at home, iu
private or in public, he was the same humble, devoted
follower of the blessed Lord. T. J.Vbazy.

“ALL MUST PASS AWAY.”-Bro. John Wilkes
was born in Wilkes or Greene county, Octaber sth,
1793, where he remained until manhood. In 1816, he
married Miss Lydia Strong, who survives him. In
1821, he removed to Jasper county, Ga., where he gave
evidenoe of great business capacity, marked by energy,
economy and integrity. In 1832, he removed to Troup
county, Ga., then a waste, howling wilderness, and
settled in the wood3, with a large family, to struggle
against all the inconveniences incident to a newly-set
tled country. By indomitable euergy and persever
ance, the forest soon gave place to the golden harvest
and tbe mimic snow fields, the hut to tbe airy mansion.
In comparatively a lew short years, Bro. Wilkes and
family found themselves surrounded bv all tbe earthly
comforts and conveniences heart ySuld wish. Many
ministers and brethren, yet living to testify of the
generous hospitality enjoyed at Bro. John Wilkes’.
His home was a home for the preachers and brethren,
where his abundance was distributed with a liberal
hand and welcome heart. Amid pursuits,
he was nrx unmindful of the fuoWU'Plt had a soul to
be saved or lost. In 1888 he chose “ that better part
which can never be taken away,” professing to have
experienced a change of heart, and exercised faith in a
crucified aud riseu Saviour. He was baptized into the
fellowship of Antioch chutch, by Rev. Humphrey Po
sey, where he remained an active a»d devoted member
until the year, 1850, when he removed to Texas, where
he fell asleep in the arms of that Saviour he had so
long trusted for salvation, on the 30th day of August,
1871, in a full triumph of faith. When talked to by a
pious relative, a short time before his departure, on the
prospects of his acceptance beyond the grave, he said
“he was waiting calmly and patiently for death, which
be knew was near at hand; that he was ready and
willing to go, and felt an assurance of a happy entrance
into eternal bliss, there to remain with his blessed Re
deemer.” Bro. Wilkes lived to a good old age, lacking
only two years of reaching his four score years. All
along through his whole course of life, he verified the
truth, that, “honesty is the best policy.” He was a
good citizen, ever encouraging honesty, industry and
economy; a kind neighbor, assisting all that helped
themselves- Bro. Wilkes leaves a pious and devoted
wife, who, in a few fleeting months, will be permitted to
join her husband in the heavenly Canaan, a large fam
ily of children and grand children, a host of relatives
aud friends to mouru his death. Weep not for him:
“ he rests from his labors.” J. G. Goss.

Who Wants a LtLfary.
I offer two hundred and fifty volumes at fifty cents a
volume— less 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 aro
out <2 f print.
I would suggest to the friends'*!)? 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 50 volumes of Philosophical amd Classical
works, 84 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 ! A rare chance for a cheap Library !
I 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 procoeds of sale. Apply to him.

The King of mineral Springs is the German
Seltzer; and
Tarrant’s Effervescent Seltzer Aperient
Is its duplicate. Letters attesting its wonderful Tonic
Aperient and anti-Uilious qualities swarm in from every
source. The question has been settled whether artili
cial medicated waters may not be equal to those which
burst sparkling from the earth itself. They can ; and
the Seltzer Aperient, when undoubtedly pure and gen
uine, proves the fa,ct. Be Cautious. Accept none
other.
