‘‘LIKE A LITTLE CHILD."
Mr child is lying on my knee ;
The signs of heaven she reads ;
Sly face is all the heaven she sees,
Is all the heaven she needs.
And she is well, yea, bathed in bliss,
If heaven is in my face;
Behind it all is tenderness,
And truthfulness, and grace.
I mean her veil so earnestly,
Unchanged in changing mood;
My life would go without a sigh
To bring her something good.
I also am a child, and I
Am ignorant and weak;
I gaze upon the starry sky,
And then, I must not speak.
For all behind the starry sky,
Behind the world so broad,
Behind men’s hearts and souls doth lie
The Infinite of God.
Aye, true to her, though troubled sore,
I cannot choose but be:
Thou who art peace forevermore,
Art vr; v true to me.
. low and sinful, bring
ore love where need is rife;
u knowest what an awful thing
It is to be a life.
Hast thou not wisdom to enwrap
My waywardness about,
In doubting safety on the lap.
Of love that knows no doubt ?
Lo ! Lord. I sit in Thy wide space,
Mv child up n my knee ;
Shelooketh up iuto my face,
And I look up to Thee.

Ts the Chart-hes of the Central Association.
Brethren — I make known to you
the action taken by the Association,
at Madison:
“We continue brother 8. Boykin as volun
tary Missionary Agent, to receive and collect
all moneys raised for Missions, and turn over
the same'to the State Board ; and that he sub
mit a statement oi his operations in this work
to the next session of this body.”
You will please observe that the
Association appoints me “to receive
and collect all moneys raised for Mis
sions” in our Association. This sim
ply means that you remit the money
to me, that I may turn it over to the
objects for which it was intended, and
be, thus, able to report to the Associa
tion all the donations and contribu
tions of our churches, so that we may
know exactly what our Association
has done for the mission work.
Hcselted, That we urge upon the pastors and
churches quarterly collections, beginning in
October next, and that the reports thereof be
made t* brother S. Boykin, Macon.
You see, frm this, that the churches
are ut gently requested to take up col
lections for missions, quarterly; the
first to be taken in October, the sec
ond in January, the third in April, and
the fourth in July. How many have
acceded to this request I know not. I
can report only what has been turned
over to me thus far:
'Ksse; tTWkfirst church, at Mafon —
September 8. For Domestic Missions
(State) $18.66
'October 8. For Domestic Missions
(State).... 16.66
October 8. For State Mission Board,. 25.00
$58.32
From the Madison church—
Oct. 18. For Foreign Missions $ 7.50
Oct. 18. For Home Missions 7.50
Oct. 18. For Aged Indigent Ministers 550
Oct. 18. For State Mission 80ard.... 1&.50
$40.00
From Madison Baptist Sunday
school—
Oct 18. For Aged Indigent Minis!ers.s 5.00
$45.00
Total amount received $103.32
All of this has been forwarded to its
destination without abatement.
I now request every church in our
Association to collect and forward
mission funds to me, designating the
objects for which the money was con
tributed.
It is within my knowledge that some,
if not most, of the churches in the
Central Association desire to support
a missionary within our bounds. The
plan is an excellent one, and I am
authorized to say that as soon as our
churches, by their contributions, man
ifest their determination to support
one, the Secretary of our State Mis
sion Board will appoint a good one,
and put him in the field.
Brethren, Foreign Missions, Indian
Missions, State Missions and State
Sunday-school work, are all appealing
to you for support. Let me urge you
to contribute l.berally to all these ob
jects. I am sorry to say that, from
the rst of May, last, to the ioth of
October, Georgia contributed for For
eign Missions $764.86 only. Virginia,
Kentucky and South Carolina, each,
far surpassed Georgia.
Do let me hear from you soon, and
my appeal is especially to the pastors,
who are requested to lay this matter
before their churches.

This body has just held a pleasant
and harmonious session at Dublin,
Laurens county. The former of

work, and was cordially received and
liberally treated.
This Association will heartily co
operate with the State work, and its
beloved Corresponding Secretary, and
passed resolutions to this effect.
The number of baptisms reported
was about the same as last year,
though there was a falling off in con
tributions. The reports on Missions,
Sunday-schools, Education und Tem
perance were more than usually able
and suggestive, hut owing to a short
ness of the time, that on Missions was
the only one fully discussed. Your
correspondent heard but one sermon
on Sabbath—the Missionary sermon
by brother G. R. McCall —which was
a most masterly effort. It was highly
commended by all who heard it.
Brother P. W. Edge, one of the
most promising young preachers in the
State, delivered at night a sermon on
Grace, which a competent critic as
sured me could not be surpassed by
bishop Pierce. Other brethren
preached most acceptably, and with
good results.
The good people of Dublin were
lavish in their efforts to entertain their
guests, and seemed to spare no pains
to make them feel comlortable. Their
worthy and highly esteemed pastor,
brother W. S. Ramsay, is in full sym
pathy with all our denominational en
terprises, and has a noble band of
brethren and sisters to co-operate
with him.
The writer was the guest of brother
J. B. Wolfe, one of the cleverest men
anywhere, who, with his kind, Chris
tian wife, did all that could be done
for the comfort and convenience of
all who lodged with them.

A HAPPY PASTOR AND \T!FF.
Yesterday we were to begin keeping
house, and began to make our arrange
ments accordingly, but a committee of
the ladies asked us to leave the matter
of preparation to them. We consented.
Yesterday evening we were informed
that we could move, and so we came to
our new home, to find that we had a
house full of company, who were mak
ing themselves at home, and who in
vited us to do likewise. We first went
iuto our room, and there we found every
thing in “at'ple-pie” order. Soon we
were invited into another apartment,
where there were smiling faces of many
happy brethren, sisters and friends,
and bed-clothes made by the sisters,
furniture, glass and china-ware,, knives
and forks, table-cjoths, napkins, towels,
tables, damps, catsup, pickles, prti--
'serves, Sour, syrup, mottoes 'beautp
fully worked and handsoinly framed,
flowers—well, almost everything need
ed in keeping house. Elsewhere there
was wood, chickens and butter. Deacon
Blanton arose and told us, in a very
rice way, about the good days when
God’s people had all things in common,
and that that same spirit had united
us together as a Church and as pastor
and people. That the collection of
necessaries and ornaments before us
was but an illustration of the desire
of the members of the church to share
all things with pastor and his helpmeet.
Well, we can’t tell all the good
things he said, nor how happy it made
us feel. The pastor responded to his
remarks as best he could, and then we
all set down for an hour or so of su
preme enjoyment. The evening passed
happily away, and left us in a comfort
able home, with contented hearts,
filled with gratitude to the good peo
ple among whom a loving Father had
cast our lots. R. T. Hanes.

SHALL MINNIE GO TO THE DANCING PARTY?
“ Good morning, Aunt Rebecca, you
are just in time, and a kind Providence
must have sent you, for lam in a di
lemma, and want some kind Christian
friend to tell me what to do.’’
“Well, child, what is it? if I can do
you any good I am at your service,”
said Aunt Rebecca, laying off her bon
net and taking the easy chair offered
by her niece, Alice.
“ I suppose you know, Aunt, there is
to lie a party next week at Mrs. Crof
ton’s for the girls, a real dancing party,
and Minnie is invited and anxious to
go. I have not given my cousent yet,
for the ticket just came last evening,
and we have not had much time to talk
about it. But wbat. I wish to know,
Aunt, is whether it will be wrong to let
Minnie go. Mrs. Linn bas been here
and says she intends for her girls to go,
and you know she is one of our best
members, and Lucy, her eldest, is a
member also. Mrs. Liun says ‘there’s
no harm in dancing at all, it is quite
an innocent amusement; says it is rather
beneficial to girls; it is good exercise and
makes them so graceful.’ She is going
to commence right away to make prepa
rations. She started for the dress
makcr’g this morning.”
“What does Harvey say, Alice? Has
he no opinion on the subject ?”
“0, yes, he has his views ; he thinks
it wrong lor members of the church to
attend dancing parties, he is n.-t so
certain about outsiders, but he is so
indulgent to Minnie he could not bear
to refuse her, so be just throws the
whole responsibility on me, and says I
can do as I like.”
“And so you are left to decide the
matter alone ?”
“Yes, Aunt, and it is a trying fix to
be in. Minnie will be so disappointed
if she don’t go; I know she has set
her heart upon it although she does
not say much, anc. yet my honest con
victions are that it is wrong. I could
not get her ready with that degree of
pleasure that I would if it were any
thing ulse but a dancing party. Tell
me exactly your opinion, Aunt Rebec
ca ; is it wrong in the sight of God to
let our children attend dancing parties.
I am satisfied it is a great sin for mem*
bers of the church to dance, but if our
children are not members, I don’t know,
Aunt, whether it is kind or right to
deny them this pleasure, particularly if
there is no harm in it.”
“Well, Alice, it is most assuredly
wrong to let our children attend these
dancing parties, and if you will just
listen to me awhile, I will try to con
vince you of the truth of what I assert.
In the first place, dancing is not a
harmless amusement—it is a most
hurtful, injurious one. Talk of its
being “perfectly innocent”—why, my
dear child, what a grievous mistake; I
shudder for Mrs. Linn; don’t let her
thoughtless words have any weight
with you ; there is nothing young peo
pie can engage more exciting, more
fascinating, consequently more ruinous
to the mind, the morals and the health
than dancing. Whatever is hurtful to
us must certainly be a sin. ‘Train up
a child in the way it should go and
when it is old it will not depart from
it.’ Heed that admonition, and as you
value Minnie’s happiness, beware how
you let her take the first step in a
course that will eventually bring sorrow
and remorse to you both. If you in
dulge her this time, there will be no
good reason why you should not do it
again as opportunity offers. If the
taste for dancing grows upon her, as is
too often the case, she will tire of home,
will look with disgust upon a pleasant
evening at the fireside, and never be
happy unless she can be in a constant
whirlpool of excitement. Minnie’s
temperament is very ardent, you know ;
I have heard you say that whatever she
undertook she entered into with her
whole heart and soul; rest assured,
then, if she ever imbibes a taste for
dancing, there will be no controlling it.
My advice to you, Alice, is not to let
Minnie go; if it is wrong for you to
attend such places, it cntainly is for
your children. Make it a rule, it will
save you a great deal of trouble, never
to allow your children to attend any
place from which you and Harvey are
excluded. The Word of God excludes
you from these things; you cannot
enter into them, Uof enjoy them with
out conforming ti ilje world, and ‘if
any matvßve sa’ys John}
‘the love of the Father is not in him.’
It is true, Minnie is no member of the
church, but that fact does not lessen
her obligation to God and her parents ;
she should respect your principles.
The command, ‘ Honor thy father and
thy mother,’ is as binding upon chil
dren out of the church as in it, and
they should be taught that to persist in
wishing to do anything contrary to
their parents desires or commands, is
a gross violation of the same. We are
responsible to God, Alice, for the man
ner in which we discharge our duties
as parents, and those duties we cannot
delegate to another. When you are
satisfied you are right in regard to any
course of action, be firm and go ahead.
A child’s tears, or a day or two of
wayward pouting, should have no effect
in moving you. The disappointment
to Minnie for the loss of one night’s
pleasure is small compared to the in
jury that might result from her at
tendance. Check the thing in its bud,
come out fearlessly before your chil
dren and say dancing is wrong, it is a
sin, you cannot indulge iu it, and then
never after give way nor recede from
your position. It may look a little
hard to them at first, but time will
show them you are right; provide other
sources of amusement for them, and ag
they grow older and learn your reasons
for your course they will cease to care
for it, and, finally, be glad you were so
firm. You ask me how it is hurtful,
Alice. In many ways. A distinguished
physican has said, that upon inquiry
it was found that; a majority of the un
happy females in a certain ‘House of
Reformation, commenced their course
in the ball-room. 1 * One of those modern
dances has been styled by a late writer
on the subject, ‘The Dance of Death.’
The constant dissipation wrecks a
woman’s health—late hours and danc
ing go together—thin dressing, thin
slippers, over-Leating, sudden cooling,
loss of sleep and nervous excitement,
have laid many a once blooming girl in
an early grave. The associations con
nected with such a life, the loose com
pany one comes in contact with, will
just as certainly degrade her morals as
water will run down hill. As the poet
hath truthfully said :
‘Vies is a monster of such hideous mein,
That te be hated needs but ta be seen ;
But seen too oftjfamiliar with its face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.’
“Just so with a young girl, at firs f
her purity of soul is shocked arid it is
easy to blush, but Alice, when the ball
room haßdone its work she has learned
to love what first she hated. A dancer,
Alice, never has much mind, the giddy,
exciting thoughts that chase each other
in her brain, abutting out every thing
reasonable or serious eventually so
weaken all her mental faculties that
her mind becomes a blank. She bardly
has an idea outside of the’ball-room.
What is such a woman fit for, Alice ?
and what sensible man wishes such an
one for a wife ? O, the misery, the
mortification, to be the mother of such
a daughter. May God help you Alice,
to look upon this matter in the light of
eternity, and then decide as you will
wish you had done, when you find your
self nearing that boundless shore.”
“Aunt Rebecca, I thank you for your
counsel, and bless God for directing
you here to-day. You are right, and
I have determined that Minnie shall
not go to the dancing party.”
Aunt Edith.
THE STOCKING-BASKET.
Cosily throned in her cushioned chair,
A mother reclined from toil and care,
Except the darning of a stocking,
And her chair’s perpetual rocking.
I thought I had somewhere seeu it styled
The plague of life, such a basket piled
With tiresome, everlasting stitching,
With work so very unbewitching ;
And as ehe broke the thread asunder,
Weaving in and out, over and under,
I wished tne rents in human life
Could be mended with as little strife.
She took iu her hand a tiny thing,
All striped wirii a white and scarlet ring,
And smiled rfswjllo thought of the silken hair
And laughing syes of her darling fair ;
Of the rosy lips and dainty hands.
The pleading cries and the loud demands,
She sighod as she thought of the world uutried,
And up and 4own her needle plied,
She knew it said, Oh ! blessed are such !
And stroked her work with a tender touch,
Softly folded find laid it away,
As the iu slumber lay.
But on the next a tear-drop lingers;
The mother wrought with trembling fingers,
And Badly bowed with an anxious faoe,
Appealing On High for strength and grace
To guide the steps of her wayward eon,
To bless and protect hor erring one,
Nor suffer the wand’ring feet to roam
Forth from the love of hit early home.
To shield him from the glittering net
The tempter with costly jewels had set;
To save him from the sparkling bowl,
And all the dangers that sear the soul.
As on the third her looks were bent,
The faoe wore a smile of sweet content,
As the fair-tfairod girl whoso gentle ways
Were extolled by all with voice of praise ;
For her the 6Unhine ever glowed.
And from her lips rare music flowed;
With graceful carriage and modest mien,
She moved through life liko a fair young qneon.
The mother said, with a fervent prayer,
May Hoaven shield her from harm and car#.
From cruel want, and the stings that smart,
From the bruises of a blighted heart.
The next wore for those whoso feet had trod
For many summers the earth’s green sod ;
And the BtormH of many winters felt,
Iu joys had smiled, and iu sorrows kuelt,
No cloudlw dark, but the glimmering liu#
Of the sunrise evor straggled through ;
No gloom s i deep, faith could not brighten ;
No toil so hard, love could not lighten.
The last for ono who was passing down
To her narrow home with a silver crown
Of wondrous luster, that seemed to shed
A light of glory round her head.
Peacefully sinking to the quiet rest,
Awaiting those of the truly blest;
For her she plead the right to share
All tender aid aud watchful care.
And thus,the stockings all were mended ;
With oach'sßtitch a thought was blended;
With ev’ry thread for future wear
The wesbrfir-Jn oi a silent prayer.
