TOE WORKS OF OOF.
Above, beneath.
The glorious woi k now is eeen.
Deep in the bowels of the earth.
In the vastneas of the heavens,
Appears the miracles of Him
Who ever reigns above supreme.
The fragrant and soothing flowers.
Blooming and lasiing but a day,
Are the works of His bauds alone.
The rocks, the hills, and everything.
Came forth by His mighty command.
Even the little rippling brook,
Wending its way to the ocean
And singing as it goes along,
Is His prodigious workmanship.
And last of all, but far from least,
Man, liken to His own image,
Was created for this domain,
Sinless to live and then to die ;
To live for Him ; to die n Him.
And still His mighty work goes on ;
Not here, but in a far off land,
Where, robed in purest white,
Angels before their Maker stand.

LETTER FROM ITALT.
Rome, Italy, May 21, 1878.
Dear Brother Editor —I gladly send
a line to The Idkx touching our
Italian Mission. True, lam cautious
about writing much, lest undue ex
pectations concerning the work may
be excited; yet, on the other hand,
we have great need to interest our
brethren at home, for we are depend
ent upon them for sympathy, prayer,
and material aid; and, of all the
Southern Slates, Georgia stands in the
very front rank, not only for her
prosperity and thrift, but for the num
ber and intelligence of her Baptist
population.
We had,the other day,a gratifying in
cident in our midst, viz., the baptism of
an intelligent and highly respectable
gentleman, a physician from Pisa,
and one of the earliest converts in
Italy since the present awakening,
having been led to the Gospel in 1849,
and having suffered imprisonment for
his faith at the same time with the
famous Madias family. This gentle
man was in Rome on business, and
called to see both Mr. Cocorda, our
Evangelist, and myself, the former be
ing an old friend. In both visits, the
subject of baptism was introduced-
The brother in question' had long
since rejected infant baptism, and was
also persuaded as to the nature of the
act; but, in common with many in
Italy, rejecting the ceremonfes of Ro
manism, lad been disposed to go to
the other extreme of undervaluing all
ordinances, and especially considering
baptism as a thing of indifference. Our
arguments produced an evident effect
upon him. The next Lord's Day, h;
was present at our morning meeting,
which consists of social worship, fol
lowed by the Lord’s Supper. Mr.
Cocorda was compelled—as he often
is—to explain why we could not invite
to the tab'e the unbaptized, and on
this occasion he did it with much
tenderness. Sometimes, our practice
in regard to communion has seemed to
repel the brethren from us, but happi
ly it was not the case with our broth
er. On the contrary, our frank and
faithful testimony seerns to have pro
duced a good effect upon him. At
any rate, he immediately demanded
baptism, and we promptly and heartily
acceded to his demand. We have no
baptistery now, so we were constrained
to administer the ordinance in a large
bathing-tub, conveyed for the purpose
to Mr. Cocorda's house. Most of our
little church and congregation were
gathered on Tuesday afternoon, and
after the reading of appropriate Scrip
tures and explanations for the'sake of
some present not well informed on the
subject, the candidate gave a thrilling
ly interesting account of his conver
sion, his sufferings for the Gospel, and
his Christian experience. Seldom has
my heart been more touched, and the
prayer which I offered was in a broken
voice. With deep feeling, we sung
“Safe in the arms of Jesus.” Then we
repaired to a chamber, in which, a few
weeks before, one of our members had
peacefully fallen asleep in Jesus, and
the ordinance, despite the unfavorable
circumstances, was very impressively
administered ; the calm, dignified con
duct of the venerable candidate con
tributing much to this effect. The
next day he left Rome, so that, though
another disciple has followed Jesus,
and another adherent and witness to
the truth as to the evidences has been
gained, our little church here is none
the stronger. This has several times
been the case. We are, indeed, but a
“feeble folk,” and I often feel half dis
couraged at our small number and
slow progress, but we are at least a
“witnessing church,” sending our testi
mony not only to an unbelieving world,
but also to our brethren who have not
returned to the ordinances in their
Scriptural simplicity.
I am happy in the hope that by an
other season we shall be able to ad
minister the ordinance more worthily
as regar d* external appliances. You
are already informed of the purchase
of a building here; and the workmen
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST - June 20.
have commenced the work necessary
for a chapel, in which we expect to
have a neat baptistery with all needful
appurtenances. I trust that the read
ers of The Index will not only lend a
hand to this enterprise, but will also
pray that our chapel may be com
pleted despite the difficulties that be
set us, and that in it, through the faith
ful preaching of the pure Gospel, ac
companied by the power of the Holy
Spirit, many precious souls may be born
into the Kingdom of God.
I am in receipt of interesting letters
from Torre Pellice Milan, Bari, and
the islands of Sardinia, telling of the
labors, trials and successes of our
evangelists, and reporting several
cases of conversion. I had meant to
give you extracts from these, but the
present letter is long enough, and I am
at this moment unusually busy, so I
must close for the present.
These lines will at least serve to re
mind you and your readers of the
Italian Baptist Mission, and of the un
worthy representative of the Southern
Baptist Convention.
Last night I passed a pleasant hour
with four warm-hearted Georgians,
who, though not Baptists, seemed to
know veiy well many Georgia Baptists,
and we talked of Woodfin, Tucker,
Skinner, Sam Boykin, Gwin, Warren,
Brantley, and others, so that I felt al
most as if I were at.the Convention.
How my heart often goes out to those
that I have left, and all the more that
their number constantly diminishes by
the removal to “the Better Land” of
someone whom I have' known and
loved. I have heard with deep pain of
the feeble health and sufferings of
brother Shaver, who was my pastor,
when I, a mere boy, was brought into
the fold of Christ. I trust that he will
not refuse the Christian greeting which,
in this round about way, I send to him
over the sea. Begging an interest in
the prayers of each Christian reader, I
remain,
Faithfully, yours In the Gospel,
Gut). B. Taylor.

Eor the Index and BaptHt-f-
The Evils iu the Churches and the Cause of It.
Editors Index— -Please allow me
space to speak upon the subject which
heads this article. The colored race,
as I have said, are very poor, and reli
gion cannot flourish where the people
are pecuniarily oppressed. Yet reli
gion is religion, iu adversity as well
as in prosperity. But where a people
are suffering financially, they cannot,
intelligently and sincerely, enjoy the
true religion of the Bible. The con
dition of the colored people necessi
tates their taking up collections almost
at the close of every sermon on Sun’
days, which is generally done by the
contributors coming to the table. After
which the sermon is forgotten, and tba
people go home without feeling the
power of the sermon. Therefore, the
people are not lifted up by it as was
intended. This is a growing evil in
our churches. The congregation verv
often, and almost universally, dismiss
themselves after having thrown in, and
render it impossible for the deacons or
pastor to command order. How to
remedy it ? I have often thought that
if it was possible that we should get
the members of the church to throw in
a year’s contribution at the com
mencement of the year, and thus rid
themselves of this embarrassment.
Bay, for example, that each member
throw m $3.00 at any one time in the
year, so that much of this every Sunday
collection would be done away with,and
the churches would be clearer of debts,
and the power of the Cross be felt
more.
But as it is, the collections cause
contusion and fiivolity; and then not
much money raised, from the fact that
they (the people) are called upon so
often that the collections become ob
noxious to the people. The pastors
are oftentimes in a very bad, suffering
condition, and thereby it is impossible
for them to preach successfully—they
being compelled to work for their im
mediate support. Our people will
never be elevated until, first, the
preachers are, and our preachers will
never be prepared to preach intelli
gently as long as they have to nuckle
down all the while to work. In order,
therefore, to elevate the colored race,
every pastor must have at least two or
three days a week for earnest anil
prayerful study of God’s blessed word.
The idea is false that a man can work
all the week and be prepared to preach
on Sunday. It will take him at least
a day’s studying to find out that he
knows nothing of the text from which
he expects to preach, and he does well
to learn how to preach it in two days
One of the learned men of old said,
when the people was praising him for
his wisdom, “one thing that I know is
that I know nothing, and many men
don’t know that.” I say, again, that
the idea is false that a man can work
all the week and be prepared to preach
on Sunday. I dont care how many
Bibles he has in his heart nor by
whom they were written. Paul said
to Timothy “study,” Christ said,
“search the Scriptures.” What is
true of any other race, is also true of
the colored race. If other people are
elevated by an intelligent and dignified
ministry, so must be the colored race.
The colored ministers have more power
over their congregations than others
of another race have over theirs —and
hence the necessity of educating them.
Let me say again, that where igno-
ranee and poverty are, religion is not
much enjoyed' If it is not possible to
educate all of the present generation of
our ministers, if we can only get them
to read so that they could study the
blessed Bible what a change would
there be 1 If they could only be able to
buy, or be presented with a reference
Bible and a Bible Text Book and a
C mcordance, I know they would study
them. Oh, what a change of preach
ing would soon follow. Could our
people be encouraged to give their pas
tors time to study to preach them a
pure Gospel sermon on Sunday, what
great good would then be done 1 Now
I said that ignorant preaching is an
other growing evil in the churches, and
can only be gotten out by an intelli
gent miuistiy. If we'had more Bible
reading preachers, oh ! what a burning
and shining light there would be. God
hasten the time when Ethiopia shall in
intelligently stretch forth her hands to
God. Last week we ordained to the
Gospel ministry Rev. Joseph Lanier,
we wish we had thousands such.
When I shall see the colored race sup
plied with an educated ministry, I
think I shall be willing to say, “now
mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
now let thy servant depart iu peace.”'
May God bless and crown the work as
will best promote the truest'interest of
His people, and advance His Zion in
earth, and redown to His name’s glory,
is the prayer of yours for His cause,
Emanuel K. Love,
Missionary State of Georgia.

ROME CIIAPEL.
The following preamble and resolu
tions were adopted by the Southern
Baptist Convention, at its recent meet
ing in Nashville :
“ Whereas our Board of Foreign
Missions have bought for the Conven
tion a valuable and suitable building
in the Via Jeatro dei.la Valle ol
Rome, to be improved for a chapel,
which is imperatively demanded by
our work in that cityj and whereas, the
price paid for the property was 129,-
000 Lire cash, which is equivalent to
some $25,800, while the Rome Chapel
fund in the hands of the Board is
$18,200 U. S. Bonds, which cost in
1874
due to that fund; and whereas, the
final draft for the purchase money will
mature in the month of August of this
year; and all the improvements for the
Chapel should be completed by the
first of the ensuing October; therefore,
1. Resolved , That the Convention
approve of the said purchase by the
Board of Foreign Missions.
a. Resolved , That, the pastors and.
churches of the States represented in
the Convention be, and are hereby ear
nestly requested to adopt promptly
measures as may seem the wisest and
most effectfve to raise the qi.otas sug
gested for their respective States by
the first of August next.
3. Resolved , That anv aid which has
been and may be given to this enter
prise by friends and brethren who are
not of the States represented in this
Convention, has been and shall be duly
appreciated and gratefully received by
this Convention.
The quota suggested for Georgia is
$r,000.00. The responsibility of rais
ing this amount must not rest upon
the few brethren who engaged in the
Convention to exert themselves to re
alize the money. If each pastor will
present at once, the cause to his people,
and each member of the church shall
do as the Lord enables, the work will
be speedily accomplished. The Con
vention and Board rely upon the in
telligence and love of God’s people to
come up promptly to the completion
of this Chapel enterprise, which promi
ses such important resulis to our Bap
tist mission in Italy.

The Gate City of the South,
ILLUSTBATED,
the Capital and most populous
city of Georgia, is situated in latitude 84 deg.
north, longitude 84 deg., 80 m., near the geo
graphical center of the State.
The site was chosen as the natural en trepol
of railways, converging from every section, to
meet a line from the West. The intersecting
point of several mountain ridges, leading re
spectively into Upper, Middle and Southern
Georgia, was made the eastern terminus of a
railroad intended to hi ing the great West into
direct commercial intercourse with the Atlantic
seaboard.
Atlanta, with an experience of battle and
flame not. e the less terrible by reason of its
youth, it emphatically the creature of young
