Pin. BEFORE FELIX.
Text: Acts xxiv : 10-25.
10. Then Pan!, after that the governor had
beckoned unto him to apeak, answered, Foras
much an I know that thou hast been of many
yearn a judge unto thin nation, I do the more
cheerfully aiiKwer for myeeif.
11. Because that thou mayestunderstaiid, that
there are yet but twelve days since I went up to
Jerusalem for to worship.
12. And they neither found me in the temple
disputing with any man, neither raising up the
people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the
*ty;
|3. Neither can they prove the things where
of they now accuse ine.
14. But this I confess unto thee, that after
the way which they call herosy, so worship I
the God of my fathers, believ ug al 1 things
which are written in the law and in the proph
ets :
15. And have hope toward God, which they
themselves also allow, that there shall be a res
urrection of the dead, both of the just and un
just.
16. And herein do I exercise myself, to have
always a conscience void of offense toward God,
and loirarit men.
17. Now after many years I came to bring
alma to my nation, and offerings.
18. Whereupon certain Jews from Asii found
me purified in the temple, neither with multi
tude, nor with tumult.
19. Who ought to have been here before thee,
and object, if they had aught against mo.
20. Or else let these sama here say, if they
have found any evil doing in me, while I stood
before the council.
21. Except it be for this one voice, that I
cried standing among them, Touching the resur
rection of the dead I am called in question by
you tba day.
22. Add when Felix heard these tilings, hav
ing more perfect knowledge of that way, he
deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief
captain shall come down. 1 will know the utter
most of your matter.
23. And tie commanded a centurion to keep
Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he
should forbid none of his acquaintance to min
ister or come unto him.
24. And after certain days, when Felix came
with his wife Brusilla, whioli was a Jewess, he
sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the
faith in Chris!.
25. And as he reasoned of righteousness,
temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trem
bled, and answered, Go thy way for this time ;
when I liavo a convenient season, I will call for
thee.
Golden Text.—“And as lie reasoned of right
eousness, temperance, and judgment to come,
Felix trimblcd.”—Acts xxiv ; 25.
EXPOSITION.
J do the more cheerfully answer for
myself (v. io ) Paul was encouraged,
while on trial, by the fact that he was
before an intelligent judge. It is al
ways a satisfaction to know that a man
whom you want to convince of a truth,
is well informed on the subject in
question. Asa rule, the less a man
knows, the more bigoted he is. And
the more he knows, the readier he is
to revise his opinion on fair evidence
or sound argument. A lawyer with a
good case prefers a learned judge ora
well-informed jury. A clergyman has
hope of convii cing his hearers just in
■proportion to their intelligence. A
Competent teacher finds that the njjorg_
H^^scho! jrs know
L Vnliem. There' is nomPig more
when you want to get a
new idea into a man’s head, than to
find that his head is yet empty.
After the way which they cull heresy,
so worship J the God of my fathers
(v. 14.) Calling a belief heresy
doesn’t make it so. Calling a set of
people schismatics and sectarians
doesn't prove them otherwise than
the faithful custodians of purity in
doctrine and practice. The Egyptians
looked upon the Israelites as error
ists. The Jews counted the Christians
a sect. Romanists called all the
reformers heretics. The Church of
England denounced the non conform
ists as schismatics. But none of these
names changed the truth. The charge
Of heresy or sectarianism need nor
frighten us. On the other hand, we
ought to have some better reason for
counting other people in error than
the fact that they are called heretics.
Believing all things which are written
in the law and in tile prophets (v. 14.)
That was the test of Paul’s soundness.
Jt is a good test for to day. The man
who accepts the Bible as conclusive
on all points of doctrine and conduct,
rests on the only ground that any of
us can claim as unvaryingly sure. Any
man who refuses to refer his creed to
the Bible, has no claim to be recog
nized as fairly of the church of Christ.
To have always a condense void of
offense toward God and toward men
(v. 16.) Not sometimes, but “always”
right. A religion that isn’t good for
seven days in the week, all the year
round, is not worth much at any time.
A great many people try to have a
clear concience while they are in sick
ness or other danger, or when they
are at church and prayer-meeting, who
are not so particular while in health
and safety, and at active business.
“Toward God and toward men." The
two tables of duties cannot fairly be
separated. No man truly loves God
who fails to love his fellows. And he
who refuses love to Ggd has no love
for man which is worth speaking of.
Or iet these same here say (v. 20.)
It is of little use for a man to proclaim
his innocence, unless he is ready to
appeal to the testimony of those who
know all about him. He who is afraid
’ to meet his special accusers, or any
one else who can bring charges against
him, must expect to rest under sus
picion ox to be accounted guilty,
whatever may be his own knowledge
of his conduct an 4 motives. The
innocent man ought to be the frank
and fearless man. As soon as he is
exercised to keep others fro n telling
what they know about him, a
-'owcr.for good ha* departed.
Felix trembled (v. 25.) That was a
good sign as far as it went, but it was
not enough. Unless a man recognizes
his danger, he is not likely to seek
safety. If he has no fear of impending
evil, he will not fly from it. But see
ing danger does not in itself secure
safely. Fearing evil does not avert
evil. The devils, we are told, tremble,
but that does not make them penitent.
Trembling is not trusting. There are
multitudes who tremble at the thought
of the judgment to come, who never
turn from their sins, or call in confi
dence on the Saviour of sinners.
Go thy -way for this lime (v. 25.)
Very few men ever purpose to reject
salvation once for all. They only put
off its acceptance “for this time.” They
intend to take it up at some time or
other, but not now. But this time
may be their only time. It is surely
their best time for this business.
When I have a convenient season
(v. 25.) A man always finds a conven
ient season for doing what he loves
best. Whether it is working, or eating,
or sleeping, or pleasure- seeking, or
money-geiting, or place-hunting, if it
has his heart, he will find time for it.
If he does not find a convenient sea
son for accepting the offer of salvation,
it is because he values something
above that. He thinks more of the
life that now is, than of the life which
is to come. He fails to realize how
much more ol joy there is in the
present life, to one who has Christ for
his Saviour, than to one who is not at
peace with God. The convenient sea
son for taking hold of the richest
treasure God can give to man, and for
receiving the best of blessings, is now.
He who is not ready to be saved when
the life-boat is at the wreck, will never
have a more convenient season for his
rescue.

l itIBITK OF RESPECT.
A Tribute to the Memory of deacon George
“Foater by the Committee appointed in behalf
the of Second Baptist Sunday-school, Atlanta,
Georgia.
The old classic maxim, which in freely trans
lated, “apeak no evil of the dead,” has been
practically adopted by all civilized people.
But, in putting into practice a sentiment so con
sonant with all the finer sensibilities of the
human heart, so accordant with that Christian
charity which “hides a multitude of sins,” it
is too often the case that virtues, real or imag
inary, are unduly magnified, and unmerited
eulogies are pronounced on the dead, where the
cause of truth and good morals would be better
subserved by that silence which refuses alike to
speak evil of the dead, and to sacrifice truth in
the bestowment of undeserved praise. How
pleasant, then, the task of offering a tribute
where the t< interest sympathies of our hearts
can he expressed without doing violence to
truth—where no evil can bespoken—where no
silence is necessary, and where no eulogy need
he false. We do noyjaim that the subject of
this tribute was freWrom human erroraand
imperlectiiuis, truthfully
MhafHkJMHMflHjßhiu Christian life, a
Bmfch mmioer; asTHiylicon, and as a Sunday
school teacher, he was-without reproach ; one
to whom we can point, and any : ‘‘Mark the
perfect man, and behold the upright." Asa
deacon, lie met the Scriptural requisitions of
gravity, truthfulness, sincerity, candor, sobrie
ty and freedom from avarice; and his life was
a strong exempt fication of the truth of the
declaration: “They that have used the office
of a deacon well, purchase to themselves a
good degree, and great boldness in the faith
which is in[Christ.” "This good degiee” was
manifested both by the estimation in which he
was held by his brethren and the world, and
by that promised growth in grace, and that
strength of faith which prompted him to dis
charge with fidelity not only the duties ol a
deacon, but to engage inactive efforts to extend
the kingdom of Christ, as a teacher, in the
Sunday-school, and as a missionary in all ac
cessible fields of destitution. Asa missionary
his labors were abundant; his zeal unflagging ;
his faith unwavering, aud his work successful.
When this man of prayer, and faith, and good
works, led, victory followed ; and many will
rise up in that day aud bless him as the in
strument of their salvation.
But our feelings and the occasion prompt us
to speak of himmore particularly as u teacher
in our Sunday-school. Here he exhibited a
combination of gifts rarely seen. Though a
man, he had the tenderness and tact of a wo
man ; though advanced ir. years, he bad the
faeshness and vivacity of youth; with the
gravity of the deacon lie united the spriglitli
ness of the child. Fertile in expedients to
arrest the attention of the roving minds of his
little charge, his success in this most difficult
task was truly wonderful; and nothing iu the
school was so interesting as to wiiness the
eager attention given to liis instructions. He
succeeded in engaging and fixing attention
partly by gestures, partly by relating stories,
and largely by illustrative or “object teaching.”
111 this his inventive genius and uitchauical
skill were brought into rtquisitton and made
subservient to the great work in which he was
engaged. Many of his week day hours were
employed 111 making models and drawing* for
the ttistroctfon of his class.
Let us now briefly consider the elements of
his success as an infaiu-claesj teacher. These
are, perhaps, ihe main ones:
First, liis faith tend zeal. His heart was in
the work, and his trust was in God.
SiCond. ilia sprightiiuesa ot mind and ac
tion. He never dwelled lor.g on any one
tiling,amt he taught with vim and ejrnestnees.
Third. He taught as much or more through
the eye than through the ear. He kept his
scholars looking at him.
This brief analysis is given with the hope
that it will aid those who may succeed him in
the most ini|H)rtant and difficult part of Nm.-
day-sohoo! work.
It is hardly necessary to add that such n
teacher as we have imperlecily described, was
greiuly loved by hiselass; and, when we con
aider the derivation of the word, 1 doctor or
teacher, we must see how appropriate was the
ir.itae by which they called him, "Doctor Pos
ter,” for he wa* a teacher in ihe big lies: ami
be-t sense of the word—a teacher of the heart,
as well as of the mind. Doubtless, the se’eil
sown by him in so many young hearts, will, in
coining years, bring lortii an abundant harvest.
The mcl euieucy of the day prevented moat
of bis little pupil* frblu attending his funeral;
but, ihiiUgli deoud lliia privilege, they will
never cease to.cherish his memory, ai d.prefit
by his pietepts.
A single incident-connected with his burial
will serve to illusirate the feeling* which would
have gi\en like expressions had opportunity
peiiniltcd. Ihiring ihe last prayer, made by
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST.
the pastor, at the grave, a little boy, six years
of age, stood by, in the rain, qnd, after the
grave had been filled up, he, of his own ac
cord, without prompting, lovingly deposited
his tribute of flowers. Had all the class been
able to give the same expression of their feel
ings, the grave of this good man would have
been covered with floral offerings, more signifi
cant and more grateful to every true Christian
heart than all the pomp and pageantry ex
hibited at the funerals of the great ones of
earth.
And Bow, what more shall we say ? We
feel that resolutions of regret, and expressions
with regard to the great loss which our school
has sustained, would be too formal to express
our feelings. We will, then, only tender our
sympathies to the bereaved family and friends,
and pray that God, who alone can do it, will
raise up another to fill the place of deacon
George Foster in our church and Sunday
school.

BAPTIZE.
Dear Index —lf “baptize” is a
transfer of the main Greek verb of that
language (baptito) to our English
tongue, meaning “to dip” or “immerse,”
it would seem that there should be no
more difficulty about the action of bap
tism than there is about eating or
drinking at the Lord’ll table. For no
matter what use we may make of the
bread and wine, until we do the very
things commanded, we have not obeyed
our great king in Zion. Just jp r kt>
matter what use we make of water, we
have not obeyed until dipped, by a
proper administrator, on a profession
of our faith in Jesus, in the waters of
baptism.
If it is contended that “baptize”
means also “to sprinkle”and “to pour,”
then we have not obeyed until we have
been sprinkled, poured aud dipped.
For if Jesus used a verb meaning*)
much, it must have been because tfv
intended the doing of so much. But
then it would seem strange that He <Md
not use baptizo, and that Greek vflb
that means “to sprinkle,” and also tHt
one whose meaning is “to pour,”
thus become as explicit as are rae
guides of some of our uninsjdrpd
teachers. I. 11. GtfssT

Nothing is to unpleasant, nothing so common

not neglect to sure a remedy for this repulsive
disorder. It will also improve your appetite,

PILES.
How many suffer torture day after day, mak

pleasure, owing to the secret suffering from
Files. Yet rolief is ready to the hand of aim >st
any one who will nso systematically tlie remedy
that has permanently cured thousands. Sim
mons’ Liver Regulator, is no drastic, violent
purgo ; but a gentle assistant to nature.
CONSTIPATION.
Should not be regarded as a trifling
ailment—in fact, nature demands the
utmost regularity of the bowels, and any
deviation from this demand paves tlie
way often to serious danger. It is quite
as necessary to remove impure accumu
lations from the bowels as it is to eat or
sleep, and no health can be expected
where a costive habit of bodv prevails.
SICK HEADACHE.
This distressing affliction occurs most fre
quently. 7he disturbance of the stomach, aris
ing from the imperfectly digested content*,
causes a severe paiu in the head, accompanied
with disagreeable nausea, and this constitutes
what is popularly known as siek headache.

VEGETINE
Purines the Blood, Renovates
and Invigorates the whole
System.
Its Medicinal Properties are
Alterative, Tonic, Solvent and Diuretic.
Vegetine is made exclusively from the juices
of carefully selected barks, roots and herbs, and
so strongly concentrated that it will effectually
eradicate from the system every taint of Szrof
ula, Bcrofulous Humor, Tumors, Cancer, Can
ceous Humor, Erysipelas, Salt Rheum, Syphilitic
Diseases, Canker, Faintness at tie Stomach,
and all diseases that arise from impure blood,
Sciatica,lnflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism,
Neuralgia, Gout and Spinal complaints, can
only be effectually cured through the blood.
For Ulcers and Eruptive Diseases of the
Skin, Pustules, Blotches, Boils, Tetter, Scald
head and Ring-worms, Vegetine has never fail
ed to effect a permanent cure.
For I’ains in the Back, Kidney Complaint,
Dropsev, Female Weakness, Leucorrhcea, aris
ing from internal ulceration, and uterine dis
eases and gen ral debility, Vegetine acts di
rectly upon the causes of these complaints. It
invigorates and strengthens the whole system,
acts upon the secretive organs, allays iu’flama
tion, cures ulceration aud regulates the bowels.
For Catarrh. Dyspepsia, Habitual Cosliventss,
Palpitation of the Heart, Headache, Piles, Ner
vousness and General Prostration of the Ner
vous Systsm. no medicine has given each per
fect satisfaction as the Vegetine. It purifies
the blood, cleanses all .of the organs, and pos
sesses a controlling power over the nervous "sys
tem.
The remarkable cures effected by Vegetine
have induced many physicians and ajiothecaries
whom we know to prescribe and use it in their
own families.
In fact, Vegetine is the best remedy yet dis
covered for the above diseases, aud is the only
reliable Blood Purifier yet placed before the pub
lio.

Kidney and Bladder.
LETTER FROM DR. HUNTER McGUIRE,
Professor of Surger in the Kichmond Medical
College.
Ricnstosn Va., Dec. 28, 1874.
Dear Sir—l have used, with the most gratify
ing results, the Buffalo Spring Water you were
kind enough to send me. Having only a small
supply of it, I employed it chiefly in cases of dis
eases of the urinary organs, and found it of
great value when an alkaline diuretic was need
ed. I have no doubt of its tonic, alterative and
diuretic properties ; and of all the mineral wa
ters in the country, I believe this is one of the
most valuable. Yours very truly,
HUNTER McGUIRE.

LETTER OF DR. HENRY M. WILSON, OF
BALTIMORE.
251 Madison Avenue, Baltimore, 1
February 18, 1876. f
Colonel Goode —Sir: My experieDce in the
use of the -‘Buffalo Lithia Springs" Water has
not been large, but is of such a'positive charac
ter, that I do not hesitate to express my prefer
ence for it, as a diuretic, over ail other waters I
have ever used. Respectfully,
HENRY M. WILSON, M. D.
The “experience" to which Dr. W. refers, as
of “such a positive character” was the lelief of
an aggravated and obstinate case of gravel after
a failure of all other remedies.

Man. of Famnc. 'lie, Virginia.
Farmville, Va.. August 21, 1876.
Colonel Thomas F. Goode —Dear Sir : For
some eight months I was a great sufferer from
a difficulty about the bladder, attended by ex
cruciating and almost constant pain, necessita
ting the frequent and free use of Morphia. Af
ter a failure of medicine to afford any relief, I
was advised by my physician (l)r. J. T. Spencer,
of this place,) to try the Buffalo Waters. After
using them for some time at home, I visited the
neighborhood of the Springs, where I could
have free access to them, arriving there in
a condition so painful as to require the frequent
use of morphia. After using the water daily
for two weeks I passed two gravels, which gave
me perfect relief ; since which time (a period of
some six weeks.) I have been without a
symptom of the disease. I feel as well as I ever
did in my life, and attribute my relief entirely to

URINARY TROUBLES.
Case of the liev. ./. W- McCmcn. Pastor of the
Baptist Church ato Grd/msville, Va.
Gordonsville, Va., March 8. 1876.
Dr. V. Quisenbebry, Agent for the “Buffalo
Lithia Waters,” etc.;
Dear Sir—l have no hesitation in ascribing my
recovery from long existing and distressing uri
nary troubles, and my greatly improved gener
al health, to the use of yonr admirable waters.
From the very hour I began to drink them from
the bottles, 1 can mark a steady amelioration of
my sufforings and increase of strength and vig
or, until I am now in better physical health
than I have enjoyed heretofore for twenty years.
I cheerfully recommend the waters to the tick
aud suffering. Yours truly,
J. W. McCOWN.
INFLAMMATION OF THE BLADDER, Ac.
Case of Capt. Hi/l. P. Bohinson. a prominent
citizen of Danville , Fa.
Danville, Va., Jan. 27,1875.
Col- Thos. F. Goode —Dear Sir; For some
fourteen years I have been a sufferer from in
flammation of the bladder aud the neck ot the
bladder. During this period I have been under
the treatment of the best medical men of the
country—among others the celebrated Dr.
Gloss, of Philadelphia— without receiving any
permanent relief. In September last, I visited
tlie Buffalo Springs, and used the water of
Spring No. 2, which I drank freelv, the effect of
which was immediated and marked. I improved
each day of my stay of three weeks at the
Springs ; at end of which time I was con
scious of a decided improvement in my condi -
tion. I then returned home, bringing a supply
of water with me, continuing the use of it for
about two months I now take great pleasure in
saving that I regard my improvement as ot a
peimauent character, and that I am indebted to
this water for a degree of health and strength
which I have not not known before for fourteen
years. Very truly yours.
WM. P. RQBINSON.
These waters are put up in cases of one dozen
half gallon bottles at $5 per case in advance.
