8 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. J. M. lIoBKRTSON. Dirt Ttfwu, G. 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. <- i| -i Tho Bn abrupt. 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. C|f Jiitnhj StfwoL For the Index and Baptist. J tivTKomeroßV. 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. COKTKIBUTIVIIS.
