WOMAN NOT WANTED AS AN EVANGELIST
IN OIR CIIIRCHkS.
r
It is simply a trueism, that it is easier to
keep a body in motion after you have started
it, than to start it. And sometimes it is easier
to start a body than to stop it, or even to guide
it after It has once been started. So it is in
the field of enterprise. How many a project,
matured by constant and well directed study,
and the calmest and wisest consideration, has
utterly failed to advance beyond the starting
point. With every institution, and every en
terprise, the hour of commencement is by far
the most important of all the hours of its exis -
fence. Doubt, solicitude, apprehension, all
gather about it in the very crisis of its destiny.
If it lives through this crisis, if it sur
vives the pang-of parturition, it will not re
quire much of a prophet to foretell that the
child of so much anxiety will live and prosper.
At such an hour, when dangers and difficulties
are multiplied and magnified, perhaps a hun
dred fold, and plainly suggests to the anxious
parent that he should call to his aid every
available help, what would you think of that
parent, who, with eyes open to all those dan
gers and difficulties, and with his hand within
easy reach of just the means he needs, should
not only call for no help, but should even ig
nore the means within his grasp? Who is
there but would suppose either that he was to
tally indifferent to the life and welfare of his
offspring, or that he was a madman and in
tended to destroy them, or that he was not suf
ficiently wise to discern what was essential to
that life and to that welfare.
Was Jesus such an one? Who will affirm
that He was? No one, perhaps, in so many
words. And yet there are some within the
pale of Christianity, who, by the use of instru
mentalities for the advancement of His cause,
that He'never sanctioned by precept or example
most thoughtlessly condemn the course that
He pursued. He came to introduce anew dis
pensation, to establish His own Heavenly
kingdom on the earth. The way in which that
dispensation should be introduced, and the
means by which that kingdom should be estab
lished, were determined in the counsels of eter
nity. Could we have been consulted as to the
agency that should be employed for building
up and extending it; never, never, never, for
one moment would we have thought of sugges
ting the agency of fallen man. As we looked
down the ages of human existence and saw the
“trail of the serpent over all” the generations
yet to be, we would have wept much that no
child of Adam would ever be sufficient for that
glorious work, as John did “because no man in
Heaven nor in earth, neither under the earth,
was found worthy to open and read the book,
neither to look thereon.” Painfully conscious
of man’s utter unfitness for the task, we would
have reverently bowed before the throne of the
infinite Author of that kingdom, and most
humbly suggested that He, Himself, should
rend the Heavens and come down; that the sea
should flee, that Jordan should be driven back,
that the hills should skip like rams, and the
little hills like lambs, that the mountains
should smoke, and that the earth should trem
ble at His presence. We would have sugges
ted that He make such a manifestation of His
might and majesty that “His enemies would
lick the dust before Him and all nations would
serve Him.” Or, if this would have been sug
gesting what would be not only unnecessary,
but even destructive of a race incapable by rea
son of flesh and sin of enduring the insuffera
ble brightness ot a revealed God, we would
have urged Him to send upon this Heavenly
mission some of the sons of morning—those
“flaming ministers of His that do His will.”
Bat whatever would have been our sugges
tion, however wise and God-honoring it way
have appeared to our eyes, it would not have
accorded with the long chosen and cherished
plan of our gracious Redeemer. It is not for
us to determine which are the best means for
accomplishing the Divine ends. It would be
excusable, justi6able, nay, even necessary, for
us to do so —so far as those ends aflect us—
provided they were not already revealed to us
in the Scriptures. There it is declared that
the Father determined to save a fallen race
through His Son, that that Son determined to
confer the rights of citizenship in His kingdom
upon all of that race who would be willing to
enjoy them, that the Gospel was the means ap
pointed by both of them to effect their merciful
ends, being made “the power of God u ito sal
vation,” and that man was the agent selected
to usethat gospel “to turn many” of his fellows
“from darkness to light, and from the power of
Satan unto God.” The King of Zion has com
mitted the management of His kingdom to
beings full of weakness, imperfection and sin.
It was not of the world. Had it been so, the
world would have loved it, and would have
rushed, with few or no exceptions, to partake
of its promised blessings. But everything be
longing to it, its precepts, its doctrines, its or
dinances, was so antagonistic to all that the
world esteemed pleasant and desirable, that
they turned away from it with the utmost
loathing—nay, they assailed it with the most
vindictive hate. So general, so universal, was
that hate, in the hour of its inauguration, when
“the voice of one crying in the wilderness” woke
the echoes of the Judean hills, that that strange,
stern, Heaven-sent herald felt himself as much
alone as his dying Master did, when, a solitary
and forsaken being “He trod the wine press of
the Divine wrath."
Was Christ indifferent about the establish
ment and the perpetuation of His kingdom ?
Let Gethsemane, with its bloody sweat, and
its “soul exceeding sorrowful even unto death,”
and Calvary, with its dripping cross, reply, as
human language never cun. Does the pay
ment of priceless treasures to secure any object
show indifference to that object? When was
Christ indifferent to His church ; for though
He was rich, as mortal never could be and as
immortal never was, yet He became poor that
that church, through His poverty, might be
come rich." Is self-immolation for another
any proof of indifference to that other? Then
was Christ indifferent to “the church of God,
which He hath purchased with His own
blood." Would not that love—“all love ex
celling” —which He bore to His church
prompt Him to employ the most suitable
agents for making that church everywhere tri
umphant ? And if He had not chosen, as His
agents, some who, we think, might havegreat
ly assisted in bringing the world to His sway,
ought we not to say, “even so, Lord, for so it
seemed good in thy sight ?”
We will show in our next whom He did
not employ as the builders of Kis church.
ROHVNISM IN GEORGIA.
BY REV T. B. COOPER.
IDOLATRY.
We shall pay no attention to any mis
takes in printing words, etc., that may be
made in our manuscript by the printer, un
less they be such as obscure the sense, or in
juriously affect its meaning. We repeat the
following extract from the Dalton report,
both because the sense is destroyed by the
omission of one line, aud because it is a good
specimen of the respect (?) which the Catho
lics show to all parties who dare to expose
their pernicious doctrines and practices :
“No one, therefore, need be surprised that
Protestant ministers became alarmed, when
the Bishop (Gross) carried fire in their
own camp, or that they made every mean
aud low effort to preventihe people trom at
tending the Bishop’s sermons, or that they
deposited their venom in obscure country
papers, and attacked the doctrine and ser
mons of the Bishop, after bis departure from
the place, like little puppies who have a tre
mendous courage to bark, when sheltered be
hind a fence,” etc.
The prayers to the Virgin Mary, which we
quoted in our last article, were selected from
a multitude of the sanje character, and they
so clearly convict the Catholics of idolatry
that we deem it unnecessary to add any
others. We, however, refer to one of the ti
tles employed by her worshippers, which was
not contained in the long catalogue already
furnished. You will find it on page 216 of
the “Key of Heaven
“O Glorious Queen of all the Heavenly
eftizens, etc.” On page 179, same hook, is
the celebrated “Salve Regina,” Hail
Queen
“Hail to the Queen who reigns above,
Mother of clemency and love;
Hail thou our hope, lite, sweetness, we
Eve’s banished children, cry to thee,” etc.
Protestants may judge of the impor
tance which Catholics attach to the worship
of this -‘Queen of Heaven,” by the following
extract, from page 243 of the same book :
“Whoever recites in honor and memory of
the B. V. Mary and the saints, in the morn
ing Salve Regina , or Hail Holy Queen, etc.,
with these versicles: Vouchsafe that I may
praise thee , 0 bussed Virgin / give me strength
against thy enemies; blessed is God in Ills
Saints; and in the evening: We fly to thy
patronage, etc., with the versicles as above,
gains the same indulgence as in the preced
ing article,” i. e. “they gain an indulgence of
one hundred days, each day of the week; of
seven years, and seven times forty davs on
each Sunday; and should they daily repeat
them, a plenary indulgence twice each
month, on two Sundays of their choice.”
“ Ques. What is an indulgence? Ans.
An indulgence is the remission of some tem
poral punishment.” See “Familiar Ex
planations,” etc., page 393.
“An indulgence may be plenary or partial,
A plenary indulgence includes all the pun
ishment to be undergone by him to whom
the indulgence is applied, after he has ob
tained the remission of his sins. A partial
indulgence remits but a part of the same pun
ishment,” etc. See “Key of Heaven,” page
239.
Tak& notice, dear Protestant friends, that
the Pope of Rome, as also Bishop Gross,
professes, to-day, to grant, in Georgia, the
full or partial remission of the punishments,
which God would otherwise inflict upon
Roman Catholics, for sins committed after
their baptism, provided they repeat the
above prayers to the “Queen of Heaven," a
certain number of times!
You will find it diflflcult to reconcile this
prerogative of “His Holiness," and of the
“Right Reverend Bishop of the Diocese,”
with the following question and answer,
from page 290 of “Familiar Explanation,”
etc.
“Ques. Is the punishment due to sin also
remitted by baptism ?
Ans. Yes, the temporal as well as the eter
nal punishment is remitted.”
If, however, you think this reconciliation
unimportant, do not fail to get your Bible
and read what Jeremiah says of worship
ing and burning incense to the “Queen
op Heaven,” in the 44th chapter of his pro
phecy. He tells where the worship of the
"Queen of Heaven”, came from, and what
God thinks of it, and how He deals with it.
We are aware of the constant efforts made
by the Catho’ics to explain their worship of
Literature Secular Editorials Current Notes and News.
Mary, the mother of Jesus, in such sense as
does not convict them of idolatry.
“Ques. Do Catholics adore the Saints?
Ans. God forbid! They are far from
rendering them any such homage.
Ques. What kiud of worship do they ren
der to the saiuts ?
Ans. They merely honor them as the ser
vants of God."
See “Familiar Explanation,” etc, page 182.
It might do very welt to make these ex
planations in Italy or Mexico, but what
Protestant in Georgia does not know that
the English word adore is derived from the
Latin ad to, and orare to pray f and that
it means, as Webster defines, “to worship, to
venerate, to reverence, to revere, to love intense
ly?”
That all these meanings are strikingly il
lustrated in the prayers to Mary, quoted in
our last article, is apparent to any Protes
tant child of ordinary common sense.
But Catholics, in search of some de
fence, however inadequate, presume to retali
ate upon Protestants by saying that they
also beg their living friends to pray for them,
and that the apostle Paul set them the exam
ple 11 I Thes. v:25, Eph. vi:l9.
As premiums are so fashionable in these
days, we are almost tempted to offer one, of
some sort, for a Protestant in Georgia, or
even in Italy, who “bows down” before his
fellow Protestant, and prays as follows:
“Most holy father, mother, or brother, I
choose thee for my special advocate, and
firmly resolve to serve thee, and to do every
thing in my power to make others serve
thee also; take me into the number of thy
clients, as thy servant forever; protect me
in my actions, and obtain for me grace to
measure my thoughts, words and works,”
etc., etc., as already quoted; and who,
for so doing, expects to obtain, either from
God or man, even a partial indulgence for
any' one sin committed, either before or after
baptism. If, indeed, there is a Protestant in
any of the wilds ot earth, who does this, he
is already far advanced on a pilgrimage to
Rome—he is already a worshipper of the
creature instead of the Creator.
It is inconceivable that the worship of any
creature, however exalted, can be anything
else than idolatry. Paul condemns the wor
ship of angels, the most exalted creatures,
(Col. ii:18;) and an angel rebuked John for
falling at his feet to worship him—Rev.
xix:lo. If the worship of angels is idolatry,
that of all inferior creatures must be so like
wise, all explanations to the contrary not
withstanding .
Protestants are charged with
and blaspheming the mother of God, qM
His saints,” for exposing and denounclffp
the sin of Catholic creature-worship! It is
not strange that the apostle Paul wrote, say
ing: “Then shall that wicked be revealed
—whose coming is after the working of Sa
tan, and with all deceivableness (deceitful
ness) of unrighteousness.” No wonder that
they who teach the “doctrines of devils”
should wish to exclude the Book of God
from the public schools of Georgia.
The following touching lines were written
during the war, by Rev. J. L. Reynolds, D.D.,
of the South Carolina University, in commem
oration of a beautiful instance of woman’s de
votion that occurred while the University
buildings were used as a hospital:
THE SOLDIER’S DREAM.
The soldier boy lay on his pallet in pain,
Where the student his vigils once kept;
And there came with each throb of his fever
parch’d brain,
Sweet memories of home and he wept.
But a daughter of earth,in her worn inly neatness,
Drew near him his vigils to keep,
And the charm of her voice in its sisterly sweet
ness, t
Beguiled the sad soldier to sleep.
As her delicate hand bathed his pain-furrowed
brow,
And her fan plied its office of blessing,
He dreamed of the clime where the heavens
endow
The good with an angel’s caressing.
His hard bed of straw seemed light as the air,
An angel’s wing nestled above ;
On his pale Southern cheek fell a tremulous tear,
And a voice whispered accents of love.
Bewildered and charmed by that beautiful vision,
Unconscious of place and of time ;
He deemed himself now in the regions Eiysian,
And now in his childhood’s fair clime.
Thus calming the weeper and soothing the
anguished,
The visitant watched at his side,
And the soldier boy turned from the bed where
he languished,
With a smile to the angel and—died.

The First Church. —Rev. D. W.
Gwin, of Montgomery, will preach at
the First Baptist church in this city
on Sunday evening next, by invitation
of the committee of twenty-one on se -
lection of anew pastor. It is especial
ly desirable that every member of the
church shall be present.
Maladministration of the Mails. —
There was received in Quitman, on the 20th
of February, a letter enclosing funds lor
books ordered, plainly directed to Quitman,
Brooks county, Georgia, and post marked
Greensboro, Georgia, February 6. Through
the carelessness of some Postmaster it lost
its way, and no one can tell what would
have been the end of its travels had not the
Postmaster at Savannah met with it in its
wanderings, branded it “missent," affixed to
it the brand of his own postoflflee, under
February 17th, and directed its course up the
Gulf road, to the place of its final destina
tion. This is a little matter for an editor to
record. Well, so it is; but the remembrance
may so impress upon the mind of some ot
our readers the unreliability of the mails, as
to save them from the loss of many thou
sands, or even millions of dollars.

—A recent editorial in The Index
stated various reasons why the study
of Latin by girls is practically useless.
A writer in the Rome (Ga.) Courier,
replies energetically to the contrary,
and says that Latin makes people con
versant with the English language. It
is:in proof of this assertion, aud to
sljow the effects of Latin in his own
case, we suppose, that this writer spells
develop “develope.” The superfluous
“b,” we presume, makes the word good
Latin, though it certainly is bad Eng
lish.

Recently been discovered in the Azores.
It refers to the colonization, in the year
1,500, of the northern part of America

GEMS RESET.
—So life must live, and soul must sail,
And unseen ovor seen prevail,
And all God’s argosies come to shore,
Let ocean smile, or rage and roar.
—Stars are of mighty use; the night
Is dark and long,
The road foul; aud where one goes right,
Six may go wrong.
One twinkling ray,
Shot o'er some cloud,
May clear much way
Aud guide a crowd.
—Looking at ourselves in middle life
we see only the glow faded, the dewy
freshness brushed away. Therefore,
we must not look at ourselves, but at
the work the Master has given us to do,
at the brothers and sisters the Father
has given us to love.
—The path of virtue, even when it
is not uphill, is rough and stony, and
each day’s journey is a little longer
than our strength admits of, only there
is no way of shortening it. The twenty
four hours are the same to everybody
except the idle, and to the idle they are
thirty-six for weariness and dullness.
—We have nothing but our wills
only; all the rest belongs elsewhere .
Disease removes life and health; riches
take to themselves wings, intellectua 1
talents depend on the state of the
body. The only thing that really be
- to us is our will, and, it is of this,
therefore, that God is specially jeal
ous, for] He gave it to us not that we
should retain it, but that we should re
turn it to Him whole as we received it,
and without the slightest reservation.
—Did any man at his death ever re
gret his conflicts with himself, his vic
tories over appetite, his scorn of impure
pleasures, or his sufferings for right
eousness’ sake? Did any man ever
mourn that he had impoverished him -
self by integrity, or worn out his f ram 0
in the service of mankind? Are these
the recollections which harrow the
soul and darken and appal the last
hour ? To whom is the last hour most
serene and full of hope? Is it not to
him who, amidst perils and allurements,
has denied himself, and taken up th e
Cross with the holy resolution of his
Master.

LAGRANGE.
A flying trip to this pleasant town
brought us in contact with brother
Hardin, the popular pastor of the Bap
tist church at that place. We also met
brother A. R. Callaway, a Piyfessor
in the Baptist Female College, and
brother Cox, the President, and also
met brother Tuggle, the Secretary of
the Southern Baptist Convention ; also
our much esteemed brother Autry.
We had but a short time to stay, but
we did not fail to see the beautifal
Baptist church, a perfect model of taste
and beauty. We visited also the Col
lege, in company with brothers Callaway
and Cox. They have in attendance from
ninety to one hundred pupils. This is
an old and favorite school with the
Baptists of Georgia, beautifully lo
cated in the center of the town, and
presided over by earnest and talented
teachers.
All the brethren were anxious to en
tertain us, but we promised another
visit to them, when we expect to see more
of the delightful town of LaGrange.
Sunday-school Institute. —Avery
entertaining and instructive Sunday
school Institute was held last week in
the Second church in our city. The
exercises were conducted by Rev. T. C.
Boykin, State Sabbath-school Evangel
ist, and were admirably adapted to the
needs of the Sunday-school interests in
our State. We cannot, as we would like,
give an extended notice of the pro
gramme. Large crowds were in at
tendance at all the meetings, and a
deep impression seems to have been
made. A f of special interest
was the “Object'Teaching” discussed
and illustrated by brother Boykin.
The plan of illustrating by blackboard
exercises is of great value in the work
of impressing truth upon the minds of
children, and we would be glad to see
it incorporated in the exercises of all
our scholars. Brother Boykin and his
assistants in the Institute, certainly
deserve the thanks of the community
for the increased interest which has
been awakened in the Sunday-school
cause.
The Secretary of War, Belknap, has
resigned, and has been impeached by
the House of Representatives, over
whelming evidence having been dis
covered that the Secretary shamefully
farmed out offices under his control,
and is guilty of all sorts of swindling
and peculation at the expense of the
government. 'fho developments of
fraud, and the immense extent of the
criminal practices by high officials of
the government, created a great sensa
tion throughout the country.
From Spain we learn that all Car
