INDEX AND BAPTIST.
Tot the Index and Baptist.)
FACTS FOB THE THtIUGHTHL AM) PIOUS.
1. The following Missionaries, with
their assistants in foreign lands, the
churches hare engaged to support,
through the Southern Baptist Conven
tion:
W. J. David and W. W. Colley, in
Central Africa.
G. B. Taylor and wife, Rome, Italy.
R. H. Graves, N. B. Williams, with
their families, and Miss Whilden, Can
ton, China.
M. T. Yates and Mrs. Yates, Shang
hai, China.
T. P. Crawford and wife, Mrs.
Holmes and the Misses Moon, Tung
Chow, China.
J. B. Hartwell and wife, (now in this
country,) Chefoo, China.
2. The income of Foreign Mission
Board is not near equal to the drafts of
the Missionaries, which have been au
thorized by the Convention.
3. The lack of funds, for the cur
rent expenses of the missions, is just
about the amount which has been con
tributed for special objects in the past
tea months.
4. The economy of the Board this
Conventional year, haa been excessive';
and the churches should not allow the
hardship of their work to fall upon the
few, who may be willing to endure even
beyond their strength “ for Christ’s
j*k<
5. Asa sample of the sacrifices of
odjyrsnissionaries to relieve the churches:
Miss Whilden, iu Canton, gives up
S2OO of her little salary ; brother W.
J. David, in Central reduces
his salary by 8250; brother G. B. Tay
lor, in Italy, cuts lus down 8500;
brother M. T. Yates, of Shanghai, re
linquishes his altogether! All are
doing their utmost at retrenchment.
Shall not such nobleness in our Mis
sionaries arouse corresponding liberal
ity in the churches ? If we have love
to Jesus, now is the time to show it!
6. Between this time and the Con
vention, there will be need of at least
SIO,OOO for the work of the Board.
Let the denomination decide, in the
fear of God, whether they will meet
the obligations to which they are vir
tually pledged through their Conven
tion.
7. There is no hope of the people
discharging this indebtedness to the
heathen, unless the pulpit and the press
come to the aid of the Hoard. Will
they come ? W ill not the people do, if
their instructors lead ?
8. If all will do onlr what they
readily can, the next meeting of the
Southern Baptist Convention will pre
sent encouraging prospects of their
Foreign Missionary work.
Brethren David and Colley have en
tered Central Africa with bright pros
pects ; ten have been baptized in Rome
since brother G. B. Taylor opened his
new Locale ; twenty have been received
by baptism and experience by brother
M. T. Yates, since the opening of his
new chapel and baptistery, last spring.
The Misses Moon, of Tung Chow,
China, will soon have their new house
and boarding school, and the Canton
Missionaries have nearly SB,OOO for
their residence. But, must this SIO,OOO
for houses, lessen by so much the funds
to meet current expenses ?
Treasurers are urged to send at once
all funds on hand for the Foreign Mis
sion Board. In behalf of the Board,
H. A. Topper,
Corresponding Secretary.

THE SERVICE OF SONG.
The hymn and tune book bearing the
title of Service of Song, originally
published in Boston, has recently ap
peared in anew edition, and is now is.
sued by Sheldon & Cos., of New York.
When this book first appeared some
good judges pronounced it superior to
any of its competitors for public
patronage. But in the hands of the
New York firm it has been greatly
improved. The mechanical execution
is a decided advance on tho first edi
tion. The contents have been enlarged
by the addition of the greater part of
the most popular tunes which have been
composed within a year or two past—
embracing especially the favorite hymns
used bvMessrs. San'keyand Bliss in their
revival meetings, and what is more im
portant than mere music and poetry,
the sentiments of the hymns so far as
I have observed them are entirely
Scriptural and appropriate to Divine
worship. The brethren, Caldwell &
Gordon, who have selected the hymns,
are adequate vouchers for their evan
gelical truth. With such a book all
we need is loving hearts and harmoni
ous voices to make the praises ef the
sanctuary as nearly perfect as may be
expected this side of the heavenly sym
phonies. W. T. Brahtiy.

HUSSIONS —PLANS, ETC.
The demand for store missionaries in the
foreign fie'd is most urgent. There are breth
ren and sisters in the South anxious to go:
feeling they are called of God to that special
work. But the means is not in hand to send
them. The Foreign Board, owing to the pres
ent financial pressure, finds it no easy matter
to raise money to sustain those already in the
field, and, hence, much as they desire it, can
not venture at present to enlarge their opera
tions, te sustain the devoted missionaries, and,
at some future day, not far distant, I hope to
send additional missionaries. Churches and
their pastors are requested to seriously consid
er the importance of adopting some plan, where
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST.
they have none, that will greatly increase the
number of givers. The following plan is res
pectfully submitted : Appoint a brother and
sister, or a greater number a committee to take
charge of contributions for all our mission
work: this committee to call upon each brother
and sister in their respective churches and see
wbat they will give quarterly, or oftener, and
this committee be expected to make their report
quarterly to the church. This plan, if worked,
will Becure regular and constant contributions,
and the number of givers will be increased.
No plaD, however wise and good, will suc
ceed unless it is worked. But if the churches
and their pastors will go to work in earnest—
adopt this or some other plan and work il, suc
cess will, under God, be sure to follow.
I have long since felt that it would be far
better if the collections of funds for this and
kindred objects should be made by the church
es, and in this way enlist them in the work.
Once more; prayer should be made regular
ly for the blessing of God upon our mission
work. The greater number of churches are in
the country. Let them spend a part of the
Sunday morning of their monthly meeting in
prayer for the Divine blessing upon our efforts
to spread the Gospel of Jesus. Surely no
church or pastor in all the South can object to
this. How it would eneourage the hearts of
our missionaries among the heathens to know
that every Sunday thousands of their brethren
and sisters in these Southern States were
kneeling before God, and pleading “that the
kingdoms of this world should become the
kingdom of the Lord and of His Christ.”
Pastors, churches, what say you to this?
Brethren, sisters, what say you to this? Bap
tists of Georgia, loversjof Jesus, I appeal to you
to come to the help of the cause—the cause of
Christ. C. M. Irvin,
Agent for Missions.
A number of the churches have adopted the
plan suggested; others have a plan they are
working, and, I am glad to say, with prospects
of success.
A CIU KCil CONSTITUTED.
A Baptist church was constituted
last Sabbath, in Emanuel county,
Georgia, near Pendleton’s”, creek, with
about sixteen members. It has re

THE VIRGINIA MIDLAND.
We call attention to the advertise
ment of the above line, which appears
in to-day’s issue of The Christian
Index. It is the grand centennial
route North and East, and is managed
with admirable skill at all points. Gen
eral Manager Foreacre, is an old and
highly esteemed citizep of Atlanta, and
is .known from Maine to Mexico as a
successful, enterprising railway man.
He has drawn around him as lieuten
ants, accomplished gentlemen, wide
awake to the best interests of their
route, and ever considerate of the
comfort and accommodation of the
traveling public. We, in this connec
tion, take great pleasure m commend
ing to the people, our excellent friend,
Capt. W. D. Chipley, Genera ISouthern
Agent of the route, with headquarters
in Atlanta. He is a gentleman of the
right stamp, a worthy representative
of a first-class route.
Although Many are X’eebisi'obkd to Lung
Troubles from Birth, yet eveu euch may es
cape Consumption, or other Pulmonary or Bron
chial diseases, if dne care and watchfninesß bo
observed, and all exciting causes are promptly
treated as they arise. It is in tlioso cases Hr.
Jayne’s Expectorant exercises its most beneficial
effects, and has produced tho largest proportion
of its cures. Besides promptly removing Coughs,
and Colds, which, when left to themselves, are
the immediate causes of tuberculous develop
ment, this standard remedy allays any imflam
mation which may exist, and by promoting easy
expectoration, cleanses tho lungß of the sub
stances which clog them up, and which rapidly
destroy when suffered to remain.
O BIT IT ARIES;
PIED, in December last, at his residence, in
Talbot county, Jacob Cahrekeb, in tho cighty-
Bixth year of his age.
He was a resident of the county in which he
died over forty years, and a consistent member
of the Baptist Church about fifty. Ho was dis
tinguished for his firmness of character and in
dustrial liabitß, which secured to him a consider
able fortune of this world’s goods. He was free
from guile, and sincere in all his attainments.
Ilia Christian life was a succobb, and his death
triumphant. Nature claims tho tribute of our
tears over ono possessed of such manly traitß ;
but Faith points with cheering confidence to her
blessed and eternal home. Pastor.
For Bronchial, Asthmatic and Pulmonary
Complaints, “ Brown’* Bronchial Troches,”
manifest remarkable curative properties.
Pimples, Eruptions, Bough Shin.
The system being pnt under the influence of
Dr. Fierce’s Golden Medical Diecoveiy for a few
weeks, the skin becomes smooth, clear, soft, and
velvety, and being illuminated with the glow of
perfect health from within, true beauty stands
forth in all its glory. The effects of all medi
cines which operate upon the system through
tha medium of the blcod, are necessarily some
what slow, no matter hi w good the remedy em
ployed. While one to three bottles clear the
skin of pimples, blotches, eruptions, yellow
stiots, comedones, or “grubs,” a dozen may pos
sibly be required to cure some cases, where the
system is rotten with scrofulous or virulent
blood poisons. The cure of all these diseases,
however, ft cm the common pimple to the worst
scrofula is, with the use of this most potent
agent, only a matter of time. Bold by dealers
in medicines.
To HorsEKEKTEBs.—The attention of heads of
families iB respectfully invited to the superior
quality of Burnell's \ flavoring Extracts. They
are entirely free from the poisonous oils and
acids which enter into the composition of many
of the factitious fruit flavors now in the market.
They aro highly concentrated, have all the
freshness and delicacy of the fruits from which
they aro prepared, and are Icbs expensive.
Meats. Soups, etc., may be greatly improved by
Burnett’s Extract of Celery.
A Suggestion to the Nervous-
Robust people who have, all their lives, eaten,
digested and slept well, can scarcely be expected
to appreciate the blessing of strong nerves as
well as those who, having undergone all the
misery entailed by weak ones, have eventually
regained their nerve power. In order to expe
rience the unspeakable relief of a change from
an enfeebled and unrestfnl to a vigorous and
tranquil condition of the nervous system, the
nervous invalid should try a course of Hostet
ter's Sotmach Bitters. Under the bracing and
soothing influence of that benign tonic and ner
vine, appetite returns, digestion becomes com
plete and painless, and sleep revisits weary
eyes. The causes of nervous weakness are to
be found in imperfect digestion assimilation,
and the feeble performance of other vital func
tions resulting therefrom. The Bitters re
move these causes, as well as the nervous symp
toms which they produce.
Missions. —Much has been said in our col
umns about contributions for the cause of mis
sions, and how they shall be increased. In our
opinion, the true secret of success in obtaining
large contributions for the Lord’s treasury, is to
train our members to it; and to do this, we
must begin when they are young. Bro. Boykin
hits the nail on the bead when lie tries to create,
in his yonthfnl readers, such an interest in mis
sions that they will feel like giving for their
support. We, therefore, hope that Kind Words
will be liberally sustained. it.
Don’t Beg the Question-
It is an infallible sign that a cause is weak
when its claims are sought to be established by
mere bold assertion without argument or sub
stantial proof. Dr. Tutt asserts that his Hair
Dye is the best, and be adduces undoubted evi
dence to substantiate the truth of the asser
tion.
BEAD WHAT EXPERTS SAT.
New Orleans, May 10,1874*
Dr. Tutt:—Dear Sir: We, the undersized,
wish to inform you that wo have tried ycfuts , r air.
Dye, and find it to be the best we hapY ever
used. For its natural black color, it ft-a*celH
all other dyes. Our customers will Mve no

the dyeing department has rapidly increased.

Try it: keep trying it, and try it again. We
say this because we believe that the health, hap
piness and prosperity of tho people depend up
on the proper use of these medicines, which
have proved so successful in eradicating diseaso
and defeating death. The medicine so effective
in its cure of diseases is the great Southern rem
edy, Simmons’ Liver Regulator. Try it; we be
lieve that Uio first trial will be satisfactory,

THE WEEKLY SUN.
1776. NEW YORK? 1876.
Eighteen hundred and Beventy-six is the Cen
tennial year. It is also the year in which an
Opposition House of Representatives, the first
since the war, will be in power at Washington ;
and the year of a twenty-third electiou of a
President of the United States. All of these
events are sure to be of great interest and Im
portance, especially the two latter: and all of
them, and everything connected with them, will
be fully and freshly reported and expounded in
The Sun.
The Opposition House of Representatives,
taking up the line of inquiry opened years ago
by The Sun, will sternly and diligently investi
gate the corruptions and misdeeds of Grant's
administration; and will, it is to be hoped, lay
tho foundation for a new'and better period in our
national history. Of all this The Sun will con
tain complete and accurate accounts, furnishing
its readers with early and trustworthy informa
tion upon these absorbing topics.
The twenty-third Presidential election, with
the preparations for it, will be memorable as
deciding upon Grant s aspirations for a third
term of power and plunder, and still more as
deciding who shall be the candidate of the party
of Reform, and as electing that candidate. Con
cerning all these subjects, those who read The
Sun will have the constant means of being
thoroughly well informed.
The Weekly Sun, which has attained a circu
lation of over eighty thousand copies, already
has its readers in every State and Territory, and
wo trust that the year 1876 will see their num
bers doubled. It will continue to be a thorough
newspaper. All the general news of the day will
be found in it, condensed when unimportant,
at full length when of moment; and always, we
trust, treated in a clsar, interesting and instruc
tive manner.
It is our aim to make the Weekly Sun the
best family newspaper in.the world, and we shall
continue to give in its columns a large amount
of miscellaneous reading, such as stories, tales,
poems, scientific intelligence and agricultural
information, for which we are not able to make
room in our daily edition. The agricultural de
partment especially is one of its prominent
features. The fashions are also regularly re
ported in its columns ; and so are the markets
of every kind.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages with fifty-six
broad columns, is onlv $1.20 a year, postage
prepaid. As this price barely repays the cost of
the paper, no discount can be made from this
rate to clubs, agents, postmasters, or anyone.
The Daily Sun, a large four-page newspaper
of twenty-eight columns, gives all the news for
two cents a copy. Subscription, postage prepaid,
55 cents a month, or $6.50 a year. Sunday edi
tion extra, sl.lO per year. We have no travel
ing agents. Address
