INDEX AND BAPTIST.
Vor the Index and RnptUi. j
FNMLK rVIYKESITV.
The subject of female education,
under the auspices ct our State Con
vention, seems to be disturbing the
Siiet of our Baptist ranks. Most of
e articles in opposition to a'Female
University .appear over fictitious names.
Why is this P Have the writers of
these articles pet schemes of their own
which they fear will be destroyed by
the University ? We might guess by
the spirit of “ Aunt Edith’s” commu
nication that she was a country or vil
lage school mistress, and would have
all the people of the State educate
their children in such schools as she
presides over. (If this judgment
seems harsh, let it be understood that
the only object in expressing it is lo
induce future writers of such articles
to give their names.)
That all our people are not able to
patronize a University is true, but if
many, ay, most of us, are unable to
patronize institutions of learning of
high grade, is this a reason why such
institutions should not exist? Many
of our people are able to patronize
such institutions, and will do it. The
simple question is, whether they shall
have the privilege of educating their
daughters at home ?
That there are existing Female
Colleges in our State worthy of patron
age, none will deny. But there is riot
one thsyt has, or will command, the
general patronage of our brethren all
over the State. Colleges outside the
State might be named that come nearer
doing it than any in the State. Must
this always be so ? Surely we need
such an institution—one that shall at
tract attention in, and command pat
ronage front every part of the State.
The easiest and most natural way to
build such an influential College, is for
the largest, most influential and uni
versally prevailing denomination in
the State to build it. The objection
urged by “Old Fogy,” and hinted at
by “Aunt Edith,” of financial inabil
ity, is an imaginary one. If Forsyth,
or Home, or Milledgeville, or any other
city in the State, say they are able to
build a College, and proceed to do it,
will these writers shout in their cars,
“ unable.” We presume not. Yet
there would be as much consistency
in it as to plead inability against the
proposed scheme of a “ Baptist Female
University.”
The Georgia Baptist Convention
proposes to build a University. To
secure the location of the University,
towns and cities came forward pro
posing to furnish the buildings and
apparatus, costing thirty thousand,
fifty thousand, or one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. What has the
Convention to do ? Receive a gracious
gift of thousands of dollars, name it.
“ The Georgia Baptist Female Univer
sity,” elect a board of trustees, and
open the school, and the thing is done.
"What is done ? The great Baptist
denomination of Georgia have a Uni
versity as their immediate property,
under their direct control, that shall
at once command patronage from every
part of tho State, and from other
States. Can any one object to this ?
But where is the endowment? some
nvm de plume writerjasks. We ask, in
response, where is the endowment of
“ Monroe Female College,” “ Cherokee
Baptst Female College,” “Judson
Female College,” “ Mary Sharp Col
lege,” or any other Female College ?
They have none, and do not need any.
Whenever it is proposed to make tui
tion free, then an endowment will be
needed, but until then our “ Female
University ” may succeed as well with
out it as’any of the successful colleges
now in existence- As many of the
people of Georgia will patronize a
Female University, iu this or some
other State, and as we may have it in
our own State, and as tho property of
our denomination, the objection of in
ability is imaginary; and all articles
urging the objection should be pub
lished iu the local papers of those
iowns proposing to build it. By all
means let us have the University.

Th Largest Worxshof of tbe Body is the
Liter, whose office it is to withdraw the bile
from the blood ; when this important organ
does not act, tho skin assumes a yellow appear
ance, and generally a sick headache sets iu, with
chilly sensations, and cold hands and feet oc
oompanied with loss of appetite. The system
becomes clogged, the machinery does not work
well, and both mind and body are disordered,
the afflicted becoming croes aud fretful, finding
fault with everything around them. To any per
son in this condition Dr. D. Jayne's Sanative
Pills are recommended ; by tlieir stimulating ac
tion the Liver soon recovers its healthy tone,
and is enabled to porform its proper functions.
Costiveness is cured, and all tho aggravating
symptoms of liilliousness removed.

It is estimated that oi the number who launch
their barques oil the stormy sea of commerce,
nine out of ten become bankrupt. Many things
conspire to effect this result. Prominent among
them is “ living beyond your moans,” exhaust
ing your financial strength. So it is in the physical
mart, possessed of strength aud anticipations of
a long life, we launch out in the quest of pleas
ure.
We live beyond our; moans ; undermining our
constitutions’ by ' extravagance in eating and
drinking; by disregarding tlio natural laws of
health, and ere we arc aware of it we are bank
rupts in body—Dyspepsia and Rheumatism, or
liver complaint, or shattered nerves, or kidney
disease, or dropsy exhausts ouv physical capita!
and wo are uyable to meet the drafts upon our
constitution. But you may resume. Check
yonr extravagance and by the aid of Turr’s
Pm*, your broken constitution will be restored
and the drafts on the exoheqner of health will
never be dishonored.
How th* Blood is Filtkbjed. —When the blood
oontains the acrid elements which produce rheu
matism, gout and venal disorders, the kidneys,
ought, for it is their office, to filter from the
blood, in its passage through them, these hurt
ful imparities. When they do not, they may be
incited to a thorough performance of thei’ duty,
and the blood thoroughly depurated by that ad
mirable corrective of organic inactivity, Hostet
ter’s Htomach Bitters. Not only is torpidity of
the kidneys overcome, through the agency of
the Bitters, but digestion is facilitated, billious
tendencies counteracted, and the bowels stimu
lated to a due discharge of their function, whioh,
in connection with that of the kidneys tends to
free the n; stem from the bodily refuse whose
retention is so prej udicial to health.

For the Index and Baptist. J

Bv the courtesy of the proprietors
of ’/he Index, one column and a half
will be set apart every week for the
consideration of Sunday-school mat
ters. The Evangelist and his brother,
Kev. S. Boykin, of Macon, have con
sented to take charge of this depart
ment, and will endeavor to make it in
teresting and instructive. Among other
things, it will contain a short analysis
of the international series of lessons
and suggestions as to the best modes
of teaching, etc. The Sunday-school
Evangelist will be glad to receive short
communications, queries, etc., from
Sunday -school workers. It is desired
to make an advance movement all along
the Sunday-school line during the year
1876. Let all help.
REVIEW OF 1875.
While our hopes have not been fully
realized by any means, the work ac
complished affords cause for gratifica
tion and gratitude. The following will
give some idea of what has been done.
L Nearly every Association,co-ope
rating with the State Convention, is in
iull sympathy with our work and pretty
well organized.
2. Conversions, resulting from our
meetings, have been reported to us by
scores.
3. A brief summary from the Evan
gelist’s record book shows for the year :
Associations visited, 25 ; churches vis
ited, 139; Sunday-schools organized,
54; miles traveled, 7,041; sermons, 84;
addresses, 384; aided in protracted
meetings, 9.
A large number of Bibles, Testa
ments, books and tracts, had been
distributed. Contributions nearlyequal
expenses. TANARUS, C. B.
OUTLOOK FOR INTO.
The many kind expressions from
brethren aud friends in person and by
letter, induce us to hope for still greater
results during this year. If earnest
prayers, and hard work will achieve
success we shall have it.
Of one thing we are sure, the Bible
school work is assuming a magnitude
and importance little dreamed of a few
years ago. May our Heavenly Father
put it into the hearts of us to'do more
than we have evei done before in pray
ers, in labors, and in contributions.
To the many brethren and sisters and
friends, who have encouraged our baud
and cheered our heart, wo return most
cordial and hearty thanks. T. C. B.
The Kerehi Trip through the Belinboth, Friend
ship and Bethel Associations.
Owing to short notice and very bad
weather, at several places the congre
gations were small, sometimes very
small, yet many excellent meetings
were held, and we believe good was ac
complished.
Fifteen churches were visited, four
schools organized and revived, four
teen sermons and forty-eight addresses
delivered, five hundred and ninety-five
miles traveled, and 865.02 contributed
to the work. Institutes were held at
Thomaston, Fort Valley, Lebanon,
Cuthbeitand Lumpkin. Brother Fish
joined me at Cuthbert, and was with
me at Lumpkin. As usual, all were
delighted with his wise talks and sweet
singing. T. C. B.

“Success is never achieved without merit. A
man may make a poor article and sell it at once,
and there being 40,000,000 people in the United
States, the sale to caul) one would ho enough to
make a docent fortune, But an article that holds
the field year after year, and the sales of which
increase regularly and rapidly, must have abso
lute merit.
Dr. It. V Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., occupies
our entire eigth page to-day with his various
articles. We admit it, because we know the Dor
tor, and know of his articles. We know him to
be a regularly educated physician, whoso diplo
ma hangs on the wall of his office, and we know
that he has associated with him several of the
most eminent practitioners in the countrv. Wo
know that parties consult him, by mail aud in
person, from all tho States in the Union every
day, aud that they are fairly aud honestly dealt
with.
This grand result has been accomplished by
two agencies—good, reliable articles—articles
which, once introduced, work easily their own
way—and splendid business management. Thev
have succeeded pocause they ought to have suc
ceeded."
