GENERAL ASSOCIATION OF VIRGINIA.
I have just returned from tlie Gen
eral Association of Virginia, which met
at Portsmouth. I was there as cor
respondent of the Georgia Baptist Con
vention, and was treated with no little
consideration and respect, due in great
|>art to the important body and great
fo ‘<*.te I represented. It was a large
and entu ,,Biastic meeting—the largest,
except the mem^ ial meeting, held since
the war. The salt wa* nr attracted the
delegates from every direction, and the
salt water with its abundance of n&u,
oysters, crabs, fine steamers and the
noble people that dwell upon its banks,
afforded perhaps a greater induce
ment than could be expected from any
other place at this season. I was not
the only son of Old Virginia that came
back on this festive occasion—Prof.
Long, of Crozer; Dr. Bitting, of Balti
more; Drs. Pritchard and Bailey, of
North Carolina; Dr. Toy, of Kentucky,
and others were there to receive tlie
blessing of the Old Mother.
Dr. J. L. M. Curry was elected mod
erator, and enlivened the occasion with
many fine speeches. He made an ap
peal for the Rome chapel, and received
S I,OOO. Dr. Jeter was there also, who,
mentally as well as physically, stands
head and shoulders above his brethren;
he is the Nestor of the press and pul
pit, "with his eye yet undimmed and
his natural fire unabated.” Dr. Hatcher
was there with his wisdom and wit,
and his humor is almost unequalled—
his “man,” doubtless, found he had
waked up the wrong passenger, when
he called on Dr. Hatcher. Our good
brother Warren was also there, who is
fast winning his way tc the hearts of
all, and is succeeding finely with his
large church. The amiable, useful and
popular Dr. J. Wm. Jones was there,
as ever, at the right place at the
right time, with the right words to say.
Brother Dickinson, of the Herald, was
also there, finding out everything and
making a note of it. Rev. A. B. Brown
was there, regarded as the ablest intel
lect of the Virginia Baptist ministry,
and his speech indicated that he was
also one of the greatest of humorists.
And there were scores of other tal
ented, useful godly men as worthy
of mention as any i have named. The
personnel of the Association was mag
nificent. State Missions, Sunday
schools, Foreign Missions, Education
and the Historical Society, all received
due attention, and finer reports I have
seldom heard.
The excursion down the noble James
and over Hampton Roads with the Vir
ginia Baptist ministers I can never for
get. We passed Drury’s Bluff, Dutch
Gap Canal, Jamestown remains, News
port News, Old Point Comfort, and
some of those fine historic plantations
that I have been ever curious to see
I spent several days at Old Point, one
of the most delightful summer resorts
in the world. Visited Fortress Monroe
and saw the curiosities, among them
the cell where President Davis was
confined. Heard Dr. Hatcher's lecture
on the modern dance, which ought to
be repeated in Atlanta. Time and
paper fail me, so I must close.

Some Thoughts on the Dancing Qnestlon.
What citizens of the world may urge
in favor of “the art that distinguishes
us from savages," (as they modestly
put it,) we have never troubled our
selves much to inquire. They may be
able to say some very find things in its
favor. But we are quite sure that the
church member who dances himself, or
advocates others doing so, rests his
practice and his principles on very
weak arguments. In the discussion
which has lately sprung out of the
Block case, in the Central Presbyterian
church, it needs only that one be impar
tial for him to be convinced that the
weight of logic lay with the church.
We suppose that gentleman, and his
friends, made the best argument they
could. Indeed, we do them the credit
of having made the very best showing
which their side of the question
would admit. Yet, confronted with
the reasonings of the church through
their pastor, all their arguments seem
like whiffs of straw beside bands of
iron.
In point of fact, a man who goes
into a church with full knowledge of
what it forbids and what it requires,
places himself in an inconsistent atti
tude when he urges as an excuse for
violating the rules that these are
wrong. He should consider of that
before joining a church. He is not
compelled to be a church member. It
is indeed desirable that he should be,
and vastly important that he should
have that preparation of heart which
would fit him to be. Still, he need not be
unless he elects; and he had far better
not be unless he is willing to submit
to those self-sacrifices which church
membership of the New Testament in
volves.
Ah! there is the rub—unwillingness
to sacrifice self. Many men and women
crave the respectability attached to
church membership, but are not will
ing therefor to forego a wish or a
whim. These persons, while seeming
to hold the claims of the church in such
light esteem, really attach to church
membership more than its legitimate
importance. They act as if they sup
posed that being baptised, and joining
the church, would give them assurance
of salvation. They seem to think that
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST June 27.
these acts of obedience are grounds of
merit. Not thinking, as they should,
that every act of obedience is valuable
as affording evidence of a state of
grace. Hence they would remain con
nected with the church not by eleva
ting their moral characters to such a
point of purity as the church requires,
but by lowering that standard to their
own level.
It is somewhat excusable in young
people to fall into such an error, ana
pastors are often inclined to bear with
youthful church-members, hoping
that advancing years will cure them of
folly both in principle and prac
tice. Bui is a lamemtable state of
things when oiu men i placed in posi
tions of trust, encoif. ra S e an d delend
violations of church rules. That they
may be honestly mistaken, we do iiOt
question. They may reason, and we
have heard such urged—that the more
persons you bring into the church the
more good you will do, and that the
lower you bring your standard the
more members you will have. The
latter proposition is true ; but the effi
ciency of a church lies not in its mem
bers but in its purity. If you have
church members who dance, play cards,
drink, and in fact do everything that
other people do, they will do the world
no good, but on the contrary do the cause
of religion great injury. We fear that
many pastors regarding large “ingath
erings” as marks of ministerial success,
have embarrassed their churches by
introducing numbers of young per
sons, who, upon second thought, have
by no means made up their minds to
forego the pleasures of fashion and
folly. We do not object to pressing
the subject of religion upon the atten
tion of the young; we do not object
to taking them into the church ; but we
are decidedly of the opinion that if we
would always give them time to make
up their minds before taking this step,
we would have less trouble about this
matter of fashionable amusements.

For the Indox and Baptist.!
CUIBCIIIMKnBKBSIIir.
It it said that Baptist churches lose
more members than they gain by the
intermarriage of their members with
persons of other denominations. We
have not sufficient statistical informa
tion on the subject to affirm or deny.
But admit it to be a proved fact, it
would not be a matter of surprise.
When a Baptist concludes to join a
church of a different order, there is no
sacrifice of pride or convenience requir
ed. It involves no more trouble than
transferring membership from one
Baptist church to another. The letter
which attests fellowship in a Baptist
church is accepted by a Methodist or
Presbyterian church with as little hes
itancy as if it came from a church of
their own order. It is quite different
when one wishes to come to us from
another communion. He must make
his application just as if he had never
had any church connection. He must
relate his experience and be baptized.
All this is very repugnant to human
pride. One may offer a letter to a
"church session,” or give his hand to
“the preacher in charge” without at
tracting much attention. But there is
something painfully humiliating in get
sing up before a congregation and con
fessing to a change of opinion, and in
going down into the liquid grave in
the presence of many witnesses. While
it is possible that one may do all this
from impure notions, the presumption
is much in favor of a strong sense of
duty for a course from which human
nature shrinks. Now the human mind
is so constituted that change of opin
ion from conscientious conviction may
not be often expected. The prejudices
of education, and a stubborn fondness
for our own way of thinking, close our
ears to the soundest reasonings. When
we take all these things into considera
tion we should feel encouraged that we
do win proselytes from other denomi
nations, while we need not be surprised
nor deeply mortified that oue now and
then passes from our ranks to be with a
wife or a husband. L

Action of the tliiucli at Harmony, Dooly Coun
ty, in the Case of Rev. IV. K. Steely.
. Baptist Chckch at Harmont, I
Dooly County, Ga. j
Whereas, certain reports having been
circulated injurious to the character
of our pastor, Rev. W. R. Steely, we
desire, for his sake and for the sake
of our Master, (whom we believe he so
faithfully serves,) to declare and pub
lish to the world our action as a church :
x. Resolved, That after careful in
vestigation, we find said reports to
be basely false, and the malicious
fabrication of some unknown person,
unfriendly to the cause of religion or
an enemy to our pastor.
2. Resolved , That our confidence in
brother Steely’s Christianity and in
tegrity is unshaken, and we believe
this dastardly attempt will tend more
strongly to unite pastor and people
against the machinations of evil.
3. Resolved , That these proceedings
be published in Thk lendx and Haw
kinsville Dispatch ; that they be re
corded upon our minutes, and a copy
be given our pastor.

IT IS POOR POLICY
For any retail merchant to sell inferior

more money on them.
Instead of trying to find the cheapest
that can bo bought,he should always
select THE BEST in the market.
We know of no business anywhere, in the
city or country, that would not sooner become
permanently established, ahd in the long run
pay better, by handling only fair and honest
goods. To be sure, custom may for a while

of inferior and adulterated articles; many
even take up with short weight and other
swindling; but time rights nil these
things, and nothing is more certain than that
HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY

TO MAKE MONEY!
The surest way to accomplish this is to
build up a permanent trade.
This can rat k successfully I®
if Inferior pis are soil.
It is only by keeping the best articles of their
kind, even if they do not pay the largest
immediate profit, that a permanent business
is built up. Keep the best soap, the best
starch, the best spices, the best baking powder,
and so on through the whole list. We have
