SCNDAY-SCHOOL WORK.
The Bawen and Hereer Associations.
According to the understanding be
tween the Sunday-school Executive
Committees of these bodies, brother
Pish and myself commenced to fill a
series of appointments at Camilla,
Friday before the second Sunday in
the month. In the first named Asso
ciation, eight churches were visited,
four schools organized, and interesting
and profitable meetings have been held
at nearly every point. Two of the ap
pointments were filled by myself, as
brother Fish had to hurry on to Val
dosta.
Institutes and conventions have been
held, so far, at Evergreen and Valdos
ta j another will commence at Madison
to-night. The following facts are
woxthy of special note:
1. The Sunday-school Executive
Committees manifest a very commen
dable interest in the work. In the
Bowen Association, brother John Un
derwood, one of the best ministers we
have, is chairman, and in the Mercer,
brother E. A Peeples, a judge and
lawyer of prominence, and recently
licensed to preach, is chairman. I
heard the latter say that he, or some
member of his Committee, would visit
every church, having no Sunday-school,
in the Association during the year. I
did not hear brother M. say that, but
I hope he will say it —more than that,
I hope every chairman of any commit
tee in the State, will not only say it
but do it.
2. The ministry of this part of the
State, Southwest Georgia, seem to be
much interested in the work. Breth
ren Campbell, Carroll, Eushin, Wilson,
Gaulden and Eeid, were in attendance
upon the Convention at Valdosta. A
number were also present at Ever
green.
3. A decided improvement in the
management of the schools is evident.
The superintendents and teachers seem
anxious to discover, aud put in prac
tice, any new methods likely to ren
der the schools more efficient.
4. Church members themselves are
becoming more and more aroused to
the importance of sustaining the local
and State work.
I am brought under special obliga
tions to many brethren and friends for
kind attention.
Hickory Head church, as usual, cov
ered herself with glory. Never have I
seen $35.50 raised quicker and easier,
than was done in the little audience
gathered there on Wednesday.
Brother Carroll ought to be a hap
py man; if he is not, it is not the fault
of Hickory Head church.
IJp to this time, we have visited five
churches in the Mercer Association.

BETTER WORK AND MORE WORK.
We aimed, in our last number, to
show the imperative need of a higher
order of teaching. Let us now enquire
if more and better work is not only
possible but practicable. We sug
gest at the outset:
1. That the office of the religious
teacher should be magnified. It is
plainly and distinctly recognized in the
Scriptures. First, apostles; second,
prophets ; thirdly, teachers, is the Di
vine order. The office of the Sabbath
school teacher derives its Divine au
thorization from the commission of
our Lord, under which all disciplos are
commanded to proclaim the glad tid
ings, and by which we are all made
kings and priests unto God. While
ministers should be eminent in teach
ing as well as in preaching, and while
preaching, should more largely in
clude actual instruction of the people,
and be more and better than mere es
says on abstract topics, the office and
functions of the teacher, may be, and
ought to be, more largely and effectual
ly exercised, by the laity of the church,
as well as more highly and justly ap
preciated and honored. The sacred
ness and importance of these duties,
should not only be distinctly recog
nized, but the Sabbath-school teacher
should be set apart to the office as are
deacons and elders.
2. Young and incompetent teachers
and candidates should be put in a
course of study and training for the
work. The responsibility of this
teaching work, which must soon be as
sumed by the young people, should be
pressed upon them, to the end that
they may be stimulated, as best they
can, to prepare themselves for it. In
what shall this training consist ?
1. It should be constantly and clear
ly set forth :
(a.) That Christian parents are the
first, divinest, and best teachers of
young children; and
(b.) That the first three years of the
child’s life, are vastly the most impor
tant years, so far as religious teachings
and lasting impressions are conoerned.
2. Inasmuch as the pulpit is ap
pointed of God, as the great moral and
religious educator, we suggest that
sermons and lectures ought to be mul
tiplied for the information and instruc
tion of the people on the Bible as a
book. The history of the Bible ; the
design, classification and authorship of
its several books; its various manu
scripts and versions; the wonderful
confirmation of prophecy by modern
THK CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-Y CISTERN BAPTIST.
discovery; the types and symbols o
the Old, fulfilled in the New Testament,
and the grand historical character of
both Old and New, furnish valuable and
inexhaustible themes, of which the
mass, even of Sabbath-school teachers,
are strangely ignorant.
3. Parents and teachers should be
encouraged to attend institutes, con
ventions, and normal classes, when
within reach. These institutes and
classes at central points, are, of course,
only local, and cannot reach the mass
of teachers ; and this leads us to say :
4. Facilities for educating teachers
must be greatly multiplied. We must
aim at nothing less than a Teacher’s
Meeting in every school, and a Training
Class in every Church. Don’t let us be
frightened. It is not a task easy of
accomplishment, and yet, purchance, it
is not such a bugbear as we think.
These educational measures are im
peratively needed, and they must and
will come.—Presbyterian at Work.

BRIEF SUMMARY.
DIVID SPARING SAUL—LESSON FOR FEB. 6.
Text of the Lesson, I Samuel, xxiv : 1-16.
Golden Text —Recompense to no man evil for
evil.—Roman, xii : 17.
Time and Occasion.— When David,
the King’s son-in-law, fled from Gibeah,
he was 25 years of age, having been
born 1085 JB.C. To escape the murde
rous envy of Saul, he became a refugee
and exile; a wanderer from home,
friends and family; hunted and out
lawed by the sovereign to whom he had
ever been loyal, and whom he had sav
ed by defeating and killing Goliath.
The first day of his flight he went to
Nob, a priestly city near Jerusalem’s
site, where he received, as the king’s
son-in-law, and on pretended business
for the king, kindness and shelter.
(I Samuel, xxi.) On account of this
kindness, the vindictive Saul slew 85
priests, Ahathar alono escaping to
David with the ephod. From Nob he
went 25 miles southward, to Gath, tak
ing refuge with the Philistine k : ng,
Achirh, but becoming fearful he feigns
madness and is sent away. He then re
turns to Judea and takes refuge among
its fastnesses and caves, and to him,
flock a large number of bold, fear
less disafEected men, malcontents. It
was while thus hiding among the
mountains just west of the Dead Sea,
24 miles southeast of Jerusalem, that
Saul, with 3,000 chosen men sought to
capture him. While on the expedition
Saul enters a cave to rest at noonday.
Within the cave David and his men
were hid, and they urge him to avail
himself of the opportunity presented
by Providence to kill his enemy. David
not only refuses to kill the Lord’s an
ointed king, but restrains his men from
violence. However, he stealthily cuts
of a portion of the monarch’s robe, and,
after Saul has left the cave, follows him,
and, from a distance, with the greatest
humility and respect, expostulates with
him for heeding the slanderous sug
gestions of those who asserted that
David was inimical to him. He avows
his own innocency, and proves that he
harbors no evil intentions against Saul
by holding up the piece of Saul’s gar
ment, showing that he had it in his
power to kill the king but would not.
For a moment Saul’s generous impul
ses got the better of him, and he aban
dons his pursuit of David and returns
to Gibeah.

TEACHINGS.
1. We learn the lesson of the golden
text, “Recompense to no man evil for
evil.” The spirit of the Gospel is,
return good for evil. To return evil
for evil being wrong (II Cor. v, 17 ;
Matt, v, 46-9; Luke, xii, 48,) we are
commanded to abstain from it, (Matt,
v, 44; Rom. xii, 19-21; Eph. iv,
31-32 ; I Peter, iii, 8-9.)
This is the way a plain man found
fault with his minister: “My trouble
with him, is that he don’t make no
pints ; and when he’s done and through,
and sot down, I can’t tell what, in par
ticular, he’s been a talking about; only
he’s kep’ a good kind of a noise agoing
for about five-and-forty minutes.”
Oilr readers can see the “pint” of this,
in its application to teachers, without
our being obliged to bury it in their
epidermis.— National 8. 8. Teacher.
“What one point did that superin
tendent try to impress on his school,
in his twenty minutes’ talk ?” was a
question which one visitor might have
asked of another, as the two came
away from a Sunday-school room.
“I am sure I don’t know,” would
have been the only fitting answer.
“Then what was the good of the ad
dress?”
“There, again, I can’t answer you,”
would have closed comment on that
service.— B. 8. Times.

THE PRESS.
During the last quarter of a century
the power of the press, in this country,
has increased as regularly and rapidly
as the moments of time have succeed
ed each other, and it is now an acknow
ledged fact that it exerts a greater in
fluence, in educating the public mind,
than aDy other instrumentality.
The time has arrived when men must
be readers of the papers, or be left be
hind the great moving mass of mortal
ity in vital knowledge. Public senti
ment. and individual actions are in a
great degree induced by this agency.
Since this is true, it is of vast impor
tance that none but the capable and
good should control its power.
Fortunately for our country, those
who are at the helm generally appreci
ate their obligations, and endeavor to
discharge them faithfully. There are
a few exceptions to this statement, in
which the people have been invited to
cast aside the theories and restraints
of revealed religion, and its social en
actments, tor scepticism and sickening
licentiousness. These exceptional ef
forts to poison the public morals, and
overthrow the social relations establish
ed to promote the purity, convenience
and peace of society, have met, at the
very threshhold, the general disappro
bation and denunciation of the people -
A few votaries from the ranks of infi
delity and licentiousness, rallied to the
support of these publications, but the
great mass of our countrymen stood
off from them as they would from a
leper seeking to spread his loathsome
contagion. Not only has this foul ef
fort to disseminate immoral sentiments
met the frowns of a people educated
by the press, but the press itself has
denounced it with an energy and una
nimity reflecting upon it the greatest
credit.
It may, therefore, be concluded that
public morals are safely lodged in the
keeping of the press, secular as well as
religious. But its influence goes much
farther than the moral education of the
people, embracing in the purview of its
power the guardianship of liberty and
the promotion of the whole range of
the arts and sciences.
No influence has done half so much
in pointing out the value of popular
freedom, or in urging the citizens to
the faithful discharge of the duties due
to the governments, State and Na
tional. Diversity of sentiment gener
ally prevails with reference to questions
of purely political bearing, but on the
abstract question of the citizens obli
gation to render obedience to the laws,
and stand ready to protect his country
against external foes, theie is, and has
been, singular unanimity. With a
jealousy watchful as the eye of the
eagle, it stands sentry over the liberties
of the people, guarding against the
stealthy advance of the usurper, and
denouncing the spirit of tyrany where
ever it appears. True, in the transition
period from intestine war to universal
peace, a portion of the press winked
at a departure from the true principles
of the National Constitution ; but now
those grand, fundamental theories
challege and command the devotion of
the entire press of the Republic.
At one time—not remote —Imperial-
ism dared to test her pretensions among
our people. A journal was established
in that interest, and though allowed
perfect freedom of discussion, it per
ished in a few months, assuring the
thinking men of the world that the
Republican sentiment of this country,
kept glowing by the influence of the
press, could not be disturbed by the
fascinations and magnificence of roy
alty.
We may, therefore, conclude that the
liberties of the people are safe in the
keeping of this agency. While the
press, generally, constitutes a medium
tor the transmission of valuable dis
coveries in the arts, sciences and agri
culture, these great and growing inter
ests have brought into existence jour
nals specially devoted to their pur
poses. Each of these labors with a
directness and assiduity that betoken
for the future advance in every depart
ment. These do not trench upon the
province of the newspaper proper, but
serve as fruitful auxiliaries, just as the
religious journals aid in supplying
true moral sentiment and truths. From
these several sources flow streams of
knowledge to the general press, which,
through its medium, pass on to the
millions scattered over the broad do
main of the republic.
Agriculture, which is justly regarded
the fundamental industry of this
country, not only hafi its own journals
in every section of the government, but
is the special favorite and ward of the
entire press. Each vies with the other
in the work of promoting this greatest
of all interests, and continual efforts
are being made to modify the labor of
this class of our c ; tizens and enlarge
its rewards. Science is the willing
handmaid of agriculture, the arts con
tribute annually new discoveries and
inventions for its advancement, while
the newspapers,’general and special, are
ever zealous for its progress.
LARGE SALARIES FOR CLERGYMEN.
Some of the more distinguished of
New York’s clergymen, will not suffer
the pangs of hunger right away, if
their salaries are any indication of theii
abundance of the comforts of this life.
The preacher who receives the highest
salary in this country, is the Eev.
Henry Ward Beecher. For several
years past his salary has been $20,000
per annum. In addition to this, it is
safe to say that he received $5,000 per
annum for various lectures delivered
by him in the winter season. His sal
ary as editor of the Christian Union was
SIO,OOO per annum, and from the
Christian Union Publishing Company
he one year received SIO,OOO for a
“ Life of Christ.” Besides all this, he
is in the receipt of an annual income
as author’s percentage on the sale of
his works, so that his income for sev
eral years past, has been in the neigh
borhood of $40,000 per annnum. His
salary this year, it will he remembered,
was raised to SIOO,OOO. The Eev. Dr.
John Hall, has a salary of SIO,OOO,
gold, per annum, and he also adds to
his income by writing and lecturing.
The Eev. Dr- Hepworth, of the Church
of the Disciples, was in receipt of a
salary of SIO,OOO per annum until
recently. The Eev. Dr. Storrs, of the
Church of the Pilgrims, Brooklyn,
receives a salary of SIO,OOO per
annum. He was offered an ad
vanced salary by one of the New
York Congregational churches, some
time ago, but was induced to remaiu
with his old charge. The Eev, Dr.
Buddington, also one of the best known
of Brooklyn pastors, receives SIO,OOO
per annum. The Eev. Dr. Morgan
Dir, the rector of Trinity, receives $15,-
000 per annum; he has two or more as
sistants, who receive from $4,000 to
$6,000 each. The senior minister at
St. Paul’s receives SIO,OOO, and his as
sistant $4,000. The Eev. Dr. Weston,
for many years pastor at St. John’s
church, receives SIO,OOO, and has an
assistant at $4,000. The pastor who
officiates at Trinity Chapel, also re
ceives SIO,OOO, and has one or more
assistants. The Eev. Dr. Cl apin also
receives SIO,OOO salary. The Eev. Dr.
Schenck, rector of St. Ann’s, the fash
ionable Episcopalian church of Brook
lyn, receives SIO,OOO.
