For the Index and Baptist A GRAPHIC LETTER. The Centennial—Philadelphia— lts Chnrthes, ete. Philadelphia, July 26, 1876. I have visted the great Centennial. It iB grand beyond description. Those who attended the World’s Pair at Lon the Exposition Universale at Paris, or the Vienna Exposition, say they are eclipsed by the wonderful display here. The world is here represented in minia ture, and it is not a very small minia ture either. The buildings, which give some idea of the magnitude of the en terprise, are situated in the West Park, between George’s Hill and the Schuyl kill river. The space enclosed for ex hibition purposes is 236 acres, on which about 150 buildings are erected. The main exhibition building is in the form of a parallelogram, extending East and West 1,880 feet, and North and South 464 feet, and covers 21 acres. It is composed entirely of iron and glass. The greater portion of the structure is one story high, and shows the main cornice on the outside at 45 feet, the inteiior being 70 feet. Machinery Hall is located 542 feet west of the main building, and is built upon the same linej thus presenting a frontage of 3,824 feet from East to West upon the prin cipal avenue. It consists of a main hall 360 feet wide, by 1,402 feet long, and an annex on Ihe South side of 208 feet by 210 feet. Memorial Hall or Art Gallery is located on aline parallel with and north of the main exhibition building, and faces South, overlooking the city. The materials used in its construction are granite, iron and glass, no wood being used, and tie buiiking is thoroughly fireproof. It is 365 feet in length, 210 in width, and 59 feet in height. It|is surmounted by a dome 150 feet high. This building was erected by the State of Pennsylvania and city of Philadelphia, and will re main as a monument of the first cen tury of the Republic. Horticultural building is located on Landsdown ter race, north of Memorial Hall, and has a commanding view of the Schuylkill river and northwestern portion of the eitv. The design is of the Moorish style of architecture of the twe fth century, the principal materials being iron and brass. It is 383 feet long, 193 feet wide, and 72 feet high in the center. Agricultural Hall occupies a position on the nortwest of Horticul tural building. It is constructed of wood and glass, and consists of a long nave crossed by three transepts, all being composed of truss arches of the Gothic form. The nave is 820 feet long, 125 feet wide and 75 feet high. There are in addition to these central bnildings annexes recently erected to the main building and also Memorial Hall. Numerous edifices have also been erected on the grounds by Foreign Governments, States, territories, com panies, firms and individuals, for the purposes of headquarteis for the Com missioners and exhibitors and for spe cial exhibits. These magnificent struc tures erected at an expense of millions are filledVith specimens of the products of all countries on the face of th 6 globe. The displays of the United States, Great Britain, France, Russia, Germany and Japan, are the largest, most com prehensive and imposing. But Aus tralia, South American, Asiatic and Af rican countries are all well represented. It 's useless to undertake to tell what I saw. Books might be written on the subject, and then the half not be told. A month spent profitably in the Art. buildin^f^me. Spending a Sabbath in the city I attended a Quaker church in the morn ing. The congregation met at half Sast ten o’clock, and all sat as quiet as eath until three-quarters of an hour passed, when the Spirit moved a sitter, who arose and gave us a talk. The following is a brief axtract: “Dear Fr'ends : I have been impressed while sitting here with the passage “when two or three,” etc. How thankful we ought to be that we are permitted to come together and worship God silent ly and thoughtfully. We read that there was silence in Heaven for the space of half an hour. How much more proper that there should be silence on earth when there are so nqany things to disturb our worship,” etc., etc. At night I heard Rev. L. P. Homberger, pastor of Gethsemane Baptiat church, whom I had the pleasure of spending a month with in the Vi.ginia mountains two years Ago. He has a beautiful church amj large congregation, and is greatly beloved. By the way, Phila delphia is a city of magnificent church ecunces, and the Baptists are not be hind the other denominations as to the beauty and costliness of their struc tures. And then, the Baptists have in Philadelphia the handsomest and most beautiful religious book house in the world. I allude, of course, to the ele gant five story marble building on Chesnut street, No. 1420, known as the building of the American Baptist Publication Society. Dr. Warren Ran dolph showed me throughout the. entire FRANKLIN PRINTING HOUSE, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, AUGUST 10, 1876. edifice, taking pains to explain every part. The store room is unsurpassed in the city, and the offices and rooms are palatial. The city is crowded, and there is ample hotel accommodations at cheap rates for all. Everybody who can should go to the Centennial. M. B. Wharton. A WHOLESOME INJUNCTION. Judge Emmonds, of the United States Dis trict Court, in trial of a case at Detroit, a few davs ago, in the course of his charge to the jury, took occasion to condemn, in severe terms, the tactics of criminal lawyers and others of the profession in availing the Char acters erf witnesses, and to say that it would no longer be tolerated in his court, unless a foun dation of impeaching testimony against tl e veracity of the witness were first duly laid. The license which counsel frequently take in examining witnesses is most unwarrantable, and it is well for them to understand that at tacks on pergonal character, if not sustained by evidence, will hurt their own side. We are glad to see that a judicial officer of high rank has expressed dis approbation of an evil which, of late years, has had increasing growth in our courts of justice, and that he has authoritatively set bounds to it within his own jurisdiction*. There are men in the legal profession who disgrace its bright and time honored escutcheon by language and actions unbecoming their station, and the dignity of justice in an impar tial trial. In manner and in word they are ungentlemanly. They think that they can increase their chances for a successful issue of their side of a case by brow-beating and comprising wit nesses. They take advantage of their position to be insulting, and endeavor to injure the character of honest men by inuendo and disreputable hints and inferences. To subdue this class, and taboo their influence, is a wise action, that will benefit the status of our courts, and prove a wholesome injunc tion upon the efforts of certain lawyers who, to gain their fee, seem to consider it necessary to ignore the Code of ethics and good breeding. A Good Law. —Congress has re cently pasked A goodlaw, and we hope; it will be vigorously enforced. It is intended to suppress all lottery and gift concert swindles, by not allowing the mails to be used by the originators of these humbugs, so far at least as it can be done by sending all letters ad dressed to such parties to the dead letter office, from whence they will be returned to the writers. The perpetrators of such frauds, upon conviction, will be heavily fined. Our people are swindled out of an immense sum of money every year by these fraudulent enterprises, and the government deserves praise for its wise interference to stop the progress of this shameful-evil. A Self Threading Sewing Ma chine.—The most wonderful Family Sewing Machine now in existence, is claimed to be the New Self “Threading American,” comment on which so much has been made by the press of the East, North and West. So frequent has snch praise of this particular machine been brought to our notice that our curiosity lead us to an inquiry concerning its merits, and find it possesses extraordinary advantages. It may well be called a self-threading machine, there being no holes in the whole machine through which to thread. No needle guage required to set the needle as it is self-setting, the tension is self-adjusting. The machine may be run backward and forwara- and does not break thread. It never skips stiches. It sews with a double thread lock stitch, which is famous for giving strength, elasticity and elegance to every kind of fabric. As there is yet a majority of families in this country who are not supplied with machines. We advise them by all means to learn fully the merits of the American Machine before buy ing. An agency should be established here at once. We are informed splendid inducements are held out by the Compamy to parties hav ing small or large capital for the sale of this wonderful machine. The general distributing office for the Southern States is located at Cin cinnati, Ohio, where applications will receive prompt atiention. Upon receipt of sample me chiee, which has been ordered, we will be able in our next issue to go further into details. For the general interest of the brotherhood of the press, we desire to caution them against J. Weaver & Cos., No. 112, Smithfleld street, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, who style themselves “Advertising Agents,” \Ye have un questionable authority for believing that they are “D. Be.” Beware of them, and pass them around* Spirit of the Religious Press. —Here are golden words that ought to be pondered by all Christians. To follow this ad vice isto give breath, motion, vitality to our faith in Christ Jesus, and to personify and put into daily life, the graciouß promises of the gospel of peace and love. Says the Chris tian at Work : Almost anyone.can endure a word oi encour agement. There is nothing more depleting in a commercial or mechanical establishment, where a young man is trying to do his duty, than to meet with entire silence on the part of his employers, save when he has done some thing wrong, or tailed in a spec fie undertak ing. And if men need encouragement in secu lar service, how much more do they need it in the service of God ? Let Christian men tell all the joyous things they know, and recite the most exhilarant promises of the Gospel, and breath out of their own life anything by way of encouragement into the hearts of those who may he depressed and despondent. The reli gion of the Lord Jesus Christ is the grandest practical encouragement any men can have. It is not a mere sentiment, or whim, or phan tasy; it is something which a man may enter with Iris entire physical, mental and moral na ture. The religion of Jesus Christ is illumi nation. There are a thousand things in life that are very dark to us. There are many things in our own constitution that need ex planation. We are coming across a hundred things in life that are beyond our capacity of solution. How grand to come back from all the mysteries and the unsuccessful soundings in life to God’s Word, and to the glorious Gos pel, and find there an explanation for every thing. The religion of Jesus Christ is never in all (he Bible once represented as darkness. It is a lamp. It is a lantern. It is a day break. It is a noontide glory. It is an illu mination. Commenting on the published card of Dr. Burrows in vindication of his course in com muning with the Campbellites of Rtchmond, the Texas Baptist Herald says: We differ thoroughly from Dr. Burrows as to what he assumes to be, and says is, “a ques tion for iny own private judgement 1” Admit such a principle, and it will need little or no stretching to cover a great many departures. It is, in its narrowest bounds, open communion with all immersionists on individual responsi bility. Immersion is not held by Baptists to be the only prerequisite to conlmunion, and the individual is not left, in matters of doctrine and practice, to his own private judgment merely. He must show ground in the scrip tures, for any departure from received opinion or practice. And when far-reaching differ ences pfevail, like this, and men persist in them, tliey should certainly go out from us as they have tj>e right to do. Baptists hold ukst tenaciously the right of private judgment, but . noHMs> marjjinay ignore or set aside their cherAfaed faith, and still be counted one of them. But Dr. Burrows proposes, as we un derstand him, to offend his brethren no more. We hope that he will come to see that his view nlaces both the Bible and logic far in the background, whereas they should be in the front, and that he will not feel under the neces sity of a different course for the sake of his brethren merely, but for the sake of the truth as it is in Jesus. —The Christian Observer has a very practi cal suggestion which ought to be universally heeded. What a mockery it is to see a church plenti fully supplied with stained glass windows, gilt chandeliers, cut glass, shades and soft cushions and hymn-books so few and far between that not one half of the worshipers can be supplied 1 Buy the hymn-books first, and leave the costly luxuries that really add so little to the worship of God, for after consideration. —This is is what the Baptist Messenger has to say relative to what constitutes an earnest life: Reader, every interest requires that your life be an earnest one. God gave you an existence that you might do something, and so be some body. Show to the world that you have life in you, and that life is animated by some noble purpose. Don’t be a drone, a mere hanger on. Don’t be weakly and cowardly, but strong and very courageous. Have faith. Believe in God with your whole heart, and love Him with all your soul. Give yourself to Him in loving and serving your fellow-men. Seek a true heart, one inspired by the indwelling of the spirit of Christ. Love and pity as he did, and as he did also sacrifice for the world in which you live. Don’t sacrifice complaining ly, but joyfully, and also joyfully Buffer. In every department of life’s work fill your place. —Upon the “ Richmond Sensation,” The Baptist, (Memphis) remarks: It remains now to see what further course Elder Burrows will see fit to pursue. If he justifies his course, let him show the grounds to be Scriptural, and we will then commend his act. If he confesses his error, and repents, no one will more cheerfullv forgive than we ; if not, we must condemn him, and warn the brotherhood against his dangerous influence, as it is our duty to do. It remains to be seen what action, if any, his church will take in this case: and, if none, then it remains to be seen what course the Long Run Association will take with the Broadway church of Louisville; and, if none, then it re mains to be seen what course the General As sociation will pursue toward the Broadway church and the Long Run Association. This base calls for an open expression on the part of every Association in the South : for it is the thin edge of the wedge, and, if allowed to be driven iu by a powerful church, disunion must follow. —We here give an extract from an editorial in (tie United Presbyterian, which commends itself to the minds and hearts of parents. It is a subject of vast, of eternal importance, and it cannot be too often comrqended upon with prayerful spirit: How shall careless parent* answer to God at last for their neglected children? When shall the religious education of children be gin ? The answer is easy, it should begin with their birth. It is only conscientious care of the saiallest infant that will insure its highest good ; and from the oststart tr.e mother should train it up in the Nurture and admonition of THIS ZEUELEL-A-LXD of Tennessee. the Lord. If it be suggested that so young an infant cannot be educated, it is enough to reply that we do not know at what age it will begin Cos be impressed, and thar the only safe way is to start with its consciousness. The law of obedience to authority is one that a babe will learn very early. And it is the first lesson. If it be neglected a day it will be at the peril of subsequent insubordina tion. The mutiny of an infant is not a terri ble thing save as it suggests revolt in time to come. It is a germ of after defiance. Hence the importance of preventing its appearance, that the child may grow up feeling that it knows nothing but subjection to the benificent government that is over it. We are convinced from extended observa tion that nearly all parents fail, first of all, in not teaching their children to obey. They command and see their commands unnoticed; they reason and are overcome by the child’s argument; they plead and are denied their solicitation. After that there is no telling what lengths the child will go, or what griefs the parents will be called to endure. The strife between the father and boy has begun. The serpents tooth has appeared. Far in the distance may be seen the gray hairs going down in sorrow to the grave, but in this first filial perversity is the beginning of that de plorable end. Parents, see that you are obeyed. BAPTIST NEATS AND NOTES. —Rev. Dr. R. Fuller, of Baltimore, relates the following: A Baptist minister some years ago was in Germany—the land of real learning—and was requested by eminent professors there, Tiiol uck, Neander and others, to address them, and to explain the creed of the American Baptists. Of course he carefully prepared an argument, and earnestly advocated our views. When he had finished they all Bhook hands warmly with him ; but he felt his face somewhat/ tingling when they said, “But why did you labor so ear nestly to prove that baptism is immersion, and that infant baptism is not in the Bible. Does any scholar in America maintain the reverse!” Poor men, they had not seen all the light that flashes from the New World —pr. Thomas Armitage writes, in reply to the suggestion of a correspondent that he once partook of the Lord’s Supper in Mr. Spur geon’s church, that he never did such a thing in. hie life, and that he seldom communes in any church except the one of which he is a member, thinking that the authority of discip line and privilege of communion are co-ordi nate. —The Bum of $50,000, one-half of the de sired Centennial fund, has been raised by the friends of Shurtleff Baptfct college, at Alton, Illinois. —On the recommendation of Mr. Disraeli, the Queen has conferred a pension of $370 per annum on the widow oi the late Rev. Dr. Em lyn Jones, Baptist minister, in consideration of het late h iHrand’s services to Welsh literature. —A new law lias been promulgated in Prus sia by which Baptist churches can obtain rights of incorporation in Prussia, and be recognized as religious bodies—each church to apply for it separately. —Rev. J. W. David, a colored Missionary of the Southern Baptist Board to Lagos, Cen tral Africa, finds a few converts who have re mained faithful for thirteen years without a Bhepherd or teacher. They sent messengers a ten days’ journey to inquire if they could not again have a Missionary. Is not this ap peal irresistible 1 “Can a Christian imagine a little group of heathen converts meeting thirteen years under their oft-repaired thatch shelter, to read the Bible, and pray for help, and not feel that they should have assistance ?” —The Eoangel, San Francisco, has passed into the hands of Rev. Winfield Scott. Bro. Kalloch, the retiring editor, makes an earnest appeal to the Baptists of the Pacific coast to rally around the Evangel, and make it a po tential power for the advancement of Zion. The new editor possesses large abilities, a warm heart, unmeasurable faith in the Baptist church, and an energy and zeal that will not flag in the Lord’s cause. —The Baptists in West Virginia are build ing more new meeting houses this year than ever before, notwithstanding the hard times; and the houses are of a better class than those which have preceeded them. The Selma Argus Bays: “Worms have ap peared in great numbers on some plantations, and generally fA some neighborhoods, in this section, and the most conservative men now feel apprehensive of disastrous results. For the past few days there has been a great de maud for poisons, and planters appear to be vigororously destroying the pests. Paris green, properly applied, has never failed to be effec tive, and, alarmingas the reports are, we shall hope that our fright is worse than the hurt will be.” | The democratic Congressional Exeuctive Committee for the fourth district, selected Selma as the place, and the 29th of Augfist as the day, for holding the Congrcssianah'Nomi nating Convention. The, Selma Times says; “The Mathews cotton mill, which iaexpectcd to begin opera tions in October next, is looked to as a pip necr in that line of things. It is a prophecy of other establishments of like kind. Cotton worms havq. appeared in force in Mocon county. The eropsabout Ohehaw are said to be ftill of thca(. North Alabama is blessed with beautlftil crops. The grasshoppers are threatening Ala bama seriously. - - Bullock county will hold an agricultural fair this fall. WHOLE NO. 2230, General Denominational lbs. —The American Hebrew Order of B’nai Berien purpose erecting a statue of “religious liberty” on the centennial exhibition grounds. This will be a testimonial respecting the liber al spirit of Protestantism. Crushed by the Moslem and persecuted by Rome, the descend ants of Abraham find a peaceful refuge in the land where the Bible is an open book. —A meeting of the Western Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal chnrch, is to be held at Racine college, Racine, Wis., to take steps for the founding of a church university in the West. The bishops of the entire north-west are expected to attend. Ihe present institu tions will be used as preparatory schools for the university. —The secularization or confiscation of the monasteries and convents in Greece is pro posed. There are now 13S monasteries and 7 nunneries, with 1,729 monks and 168 nuns, in Greece. Tl.e yearly income of the conventual property is about SIOO,OOO, and the full val ne of the monasteries is estimated at from six to ten million dollars. —Two Jews have been elected to the Ital ian Senate. This is another “foot-print in the sands of time,”as no Hebrew ever held the hon or before. A few years ago the Jews had no political rights in Italy; now every right that pertains to citizenship is theirs. The world is still moving on. —The German Reformed church reports a growth during the century, of a ministry of 23 to 650, and a membership of 13,000 to 145,000. —They have a church and society question among the Congregationalists. The National Council of 1874 unanimously adopted a reso lution for the appointment of a committee of seven members to inquire “whether the best interests of Congregationalism do not require the disuse of the Society (or parish) system,” and “whether it be not the duty of the church es as such, to assume the responsibility of see ing that those who labor in the gospel, live of the gospel. The committee have published a circular asking for information of the minis ters. The National Council holds its next meeting in 1878. At Moral, Mexico, a little company of Protestants designed to huild a small adobe church, but afterwards resolved to construct it out of stones. They gave as the reason : “We want to let our neighbors know that the evan gelical religion is to be permanent in Mexi co.” —The English Methodists are agitated upon the subject of lily representation. The idea fe getting to be prevalent among them, that tJie church should not be wholly ruled by the priestly hierarchy, but the membership should have a voice in its government. —The South-western Bible Society has un der its charge 180,000 families in Louisiana and Mississippi; and of these, 40,000 were without the Bible, and of 12,775 families vis ited in New Orleans, 3,511 were found in the same condition. —Ten years ago there was no Methodist or ganization in Sweeden; now, seventy societies, fifty-six preachers in the regular work, and for ty local preachers, thirty-one churches, and five thousand members reported. STONE MOUNTAIN ASSOCIATION We are requested to state, by brother T. A. Gibbs, that the ever-accommo dating Superintendent of the Georgia Railroad, has authorized him to announce that delegates and visitors will be passed to the Stone Mountain Association on September 9th for one fare ; they paying full fare going and return free. Return tickets good for five days. Brother Gibbs furthermore says : “I have [had tfie minutes of the first sixteen sessijons of, Ihe Stone Mountain Association bound, and I wish to have the others bound, and lack the minutes of 1862-63. I desire that brethren attending the Association, if they have the minutes for the years specified, to bring them to the Association. f> FoAnish the Information.
