LIBERTY (CHAMBERS CO.) AS
SOCIA TION.
It hid been fifteen or twenty years
since we met this body of Christians.
In ante bellum times, we were for years
a docketed messenger from the old
Tuskegee to the Liberty Association;
and Oh, how many pleasant incidents
had marked our intercourse with the
brethren for over twenty years! De
siring to renew those delightful asso
ciations, we resolved to visit the body
on the occasion of its late session at
Roanoake, Randolph county, Ala., at
a distance of seventy miles from our
home ; especially as a beloved son, who
bears our full name, and who resides at
Roanoke, came all the way over for
us. His company beguiled the tedium
of travel, albeit we passed over some
pretty rough country. Passing through
Lineville, Clay co., we spent the night
with our old friend and brother, W.
D. Haynes, a merchant of many years
standing there. Let us observe, in
passing, that the Lineville Baptist
church was the first to which we ever
preached; it was then called “Crooked I
Creek.” . Os courseour vbflt there call-I
ed up many pleasant recollections.
The next evening about 3 o’clock,
from a high hill, two miles from Roan
oke, or nearly so, we saw two spires
rise up before us, the one from a mag
nificent structure, the “Roanoke Male
and Female Institute,” the other from
the new Baptist meeting house, one of
the most tasty and elegantly furnished
buildings of the kind in the State, just
finished. The two buildings were
standing in lovely propinquity to each
other, as if drawn together by that
moral cohesion that always unites
Christianity and learning. On enter- ;
ing the well filled house, an indescrib- !
able glow of kindly sensibility, a kind !
of mesmeric enchantment, stole over |
us, such as can only be inspired by a j
body of earnest working Christians. |
The jpersonel of the assembly was
grand—such as we have not seen sur
passed in a similar body for many
years.
We found Rev. J. P. Shaffer, i
the pastor of the Roanoke Baptist
church, in the Moderator’s seat, and .
Rev, Wm. Bledsoe recording the pro
ceedings. The body adjourned a short
time after we arrived, appointing
SABBATH-SCHOOLS
as the special topic of discussion that
(Friday) night. The report of the
committee on that subject called out a
profitable discussion of it from several
brethren’, led by our venerable brother
Carmichael, and concluded by brother
Bailey, Corresponding Secretary of the
State Board. Quite a deep interest was
awakened, and we doubt not that other
schools will be organized.
Ten o’clock, A. M., on Saturday, was
set apart to receive and discuss the re
port on
STATE MISSIONS.
After the report was read, detailing the
fact that about three hundred dollars
had been raised and expended during
the last year for their district evange
list, brother David, he (brother D.)
addressed the Association in away that
went to the heart of the vast assem
bly. His kind and genial spirit wins
and conquers wherever he goes. The
writer, by special request, as a member
of the Board, added some remarks on
the plans and policy of the Board, and
then brother Bailey concluded the dis
cussion in his usual happy manner,
and cash and pledges to the amount of
about five hundred dollars were raised
for the ensuing year. This was an
advance of two hundred dollars on the
past year, and was quite encouraging
to the Board. The body adjourned at
11 o’clock to hear a capital sermon
from brother G. E. Brewer, of Opelika.
The report on
FOREIGN AND HOME MISSIONS
awakened a lively interest, and in ad
dition to the amount sent up by the
churches for the two Boards, the gen-
SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST.
of Alabama.
eral collection on Sunday was ordered
to be equally divided between them.
Brother J. H. Kinnebrew was present,
and presented the claims of the Indian
department of the Home Board in quite
an impressive manner.
Another feature of the proceedings
that struck us with great force, as in
dicating progress in every good work,
was the appointment of a committee
to report on the subject of raising an
INDIGENT MINISTERS’ FUND.
The subject was introduced by our
brother, W. D. Bulger, a lawyer of
ability and distinction, so recognized
all over the State, and he was made
chairman of the committee, to report
on Saturday night. The report recom
mended the appointment of a canvass
ing committee, composed of one mem
ber from each church, who are to re
port at the next session of the body
the amounts subscribed, said amounts
to be paid in four annual installments.
A permanent board of trustees of this
fund is to be appointed next year, who
are to take charge of this fund, and
invest it in safe securities at lawful per
cent., the interest only to be used.
They aim to raise, at once, as much as
•$2,500. Col. Bulger informed us that
he thought he knew five or six men
who would start the enterprise with
■sloo each. We bid them God speed
in this long neglected, yet noble work.
We doubt not their success.
On Sabbath, the stand was occupied
by the writer and Brother W. S. Lloyd,
of the Tuskegee Association, as their
names occur. It was the largest as
semblage we have seen for many years.
At the close of the service, the body
adjourned sine die.
Altogether the meeting was one of
unusual interest. It was worth riding
seventy miles over rocks, hills and
mountains to attend. To grasp the
hands of Carmichael, our dear old
“Hugh,” the Bledsoes, father and son,
David, Lloyd, Roby, Davis, Shafter, the
two Cumbies, Prof. Johnson, and others,
as also such laymen as Scroger, the
Shealeys, Bulger, Handley, Burns,
Morgan, etc., etc., was to us a dear
privilege.
We need scarcely add that the citi
zens of Roanoke did their full duty in
the way of hospitality. That kind
widow Christian woman, sister Disha
roon, asid brother Hike Robinson, i
whose thoughtful attentions we shared,
are remembered by us with sincere
gratitude. We also did something for
both the Alabama Baptist and The
Christian Index.
We hope to meet the old Liberty
next year at Lafayette, Chambers
county, Alabama.
ROANOKE MALE AND FEMALE
INSTITUTE.
Roanoke is something of a classical
word in our country, marking as it
did in his day the residence of one of
the most remarkable, eloquent, and
withal eccentric statesmen our country
ever produced. That Randolph coun
ty should have a Roanoke town in it,
is quite a natural coincidence, and
seems to keep up a very pleasant his
! torical association. “John Randolph
I of Roanoke,” is about as pat a phrase
las our history affords. It is very cred
itable to the taste of the good people of
. Randolph that they are resolved to I
keep up a connection of names so eu !
phonious to American ears.
So much for names, now for things.
The institution of learning at Roanoke I
is, without doubt, one of the best of its I
kind in our State. Its faculty con- j
sists of Prof. B. F. Moore and Rev. J.
i P. Shafter, of the collegiate depart
ment, and Miss Annie Spikes in the
primary, and Miss Sallie E. Phillips in
the musical department, all of whom
i are eminently fitted for their several
’ positions. Indeed, they have acquired
j a reputation over a broad surface in
our State second to none known to us.
. Progress and order are their watch
words. Moreover, they have one of
, the largest and best arranged build
ings in Alabama. It is two stories
high, the lower story cut up into four
■ rooms sufficiently large to accommo-
■ date more than a hundred pupils—the
upper story is used as a chapel,
capable of seating from eight hundred
■ to a thousand people, surmounted by
* a spire that can be seen for miles.
Every room has its quota of well-ap
pointed furniture. Indeed, the entire
structure, external and internal, ex
hibits a high degree of taste, and
would be a credit to any town or city
in Alabama. Much of the credit of
this institution is due to our brother,
Rev. J. P. Shaffer, who has given to
the Institute, up to this time, the most
unremitting care and attention. Prof.
I Moore has contributed largely to its
present standing and efficiency. He
is a graduate of the University of Vir
ginia, and, perhaps, has few equals in
our country as a ripe scholar, an effi
cient instructor, and a wise an<l pru
dent administrative officer. But after
all, a community in which such an
institution can take such a firm hold,
Atlanta, Georgia, Thursday, October 30, 1879.
and in which its growth is watched
and guarded with sedulous care, de
serves no ordinary commendation.
The Roanoke of to-day is not the
Roanoke of twenty-three years ago,
when we last visited it. It is as if a
new population had moved in and
made all things new. What has
wrought the change? for while many
of the old have died, their families
compose the bulk of the population.
The answer is found in their splendid
churches and their educational insti
tution. The piety and the public
spirit that can project and carry to
completion such enterprises, can con
vert a wilderness into a garden. This
modest village is one of the greenest
spots of our noble old State.
Let us say, also, that the Baptist
church here has, under the pastorate
of Brother Shaffer, reached a high
point of efficiency, both in numbers
and activity. One thing they ought
to do, and we say it in all kindness—
they ought to have preaching at least
twice a month. In such a communi
ty, this seems to us to be a necessity.
It would well nigh double the efficien
cy of the church.
The business men of the place would
be a credit to any town or city. The
merchants are doing a large, safe busi
ness ; for the town is surrounded by a
thrifty, industrious community of
farmers. Roanoke is the home of our
old friend, the ex-Congressman of this
district, Hon. Mr. Handley, whose
princely donations have done so much
to establish the Institute and build the
fine churches that ornament the place.
Messrs. Gibson & Burton publish quite
a newsy, spicy paper at this point,
creditable to themselves and the com
munity “The Randolph County
News.”
Revival in Tuskegee.—Dr. Roby
informed us at the Liberty Association,
that, at a meeting recently held in his
church in Tuskegee, there were added
twenty-five members. Such news from
our dear old charge was not a little
grateful to us.
On Wednesday night last, at prayer
meeting, eighteen young ladies and
gentlemen connected themselves with
the Baptist church. Most of them join
ing by experience, dated their conver
sion to the latb Methodist >Aeeti»g.
The ordinance of baptism will be ad
ministered Saturday night next.—Ox
ford, Ala., Record, October 16.
The Religious Press.
—Wholesome words are these from
the New Orleans Christian Advocate :
From the active pursuits of business men
sometimes retire in the meridian of their
strength. But there is no period in the
Christian’s course when he is at liberty to
cease from labor for Christ. He must do
what he can till death relieves him of further
duties here. He can never truly say that
he has given enough, nor that he has done
enough, nor even that he has suffered enough-
The good and faithful servant receives his
discharge only when he enters into the joys
of his Lord. The infirmity o! years may
come upon him, the weakness of sickness,
but he must work as he can, and with una
bated purpose and zeal. While the breath
is in his body his work is not done. In
every case the faithful Christian ceases at
once to work and live. Neither as to him
self, nor as to the world around him, will it
ever happen that there is nothing more to'
do. As far as strength and circumstances
permit, he is in the midst of his work to the
very last; and, were he to live a thousand
years, it would be the same.
The real satisfaction at the end cannot be
that there is no more work to be done, but
that we have done what we could. If there
be then a clinging to life, its strength will
grow out of the desire to do something more
and worthier iu the field of Christian labor.
There is one regret that thebeliever s likely
to feel most deeply in the dying hour; that
which is connected with the sense of work,
but partially and negligently d- ne. The
blood of Christ may put away the sins of
impatience, indolence and distrust, but they
will linger among the last ingredients in the
cup of things to be sorrowed over and to be
repented of.
I ’.Nst'c< 'EMFfL People,— The per cent age
i of people who are unsuccessful, in the world
ly sense of the word, is a very large one.
! <lften, God snatches away, by his providence,
through no apparent fault or failure of
theirs, the fruit of •j.en’s labors when it is
just dropping, ripened, into their hands.
■ Other men come into life hopelessly desti
tute of the “knack” for getting ahead at any
thing. The farmer who hinks be is making
a good bargain when every one else sees that
it is a bad one; the school teacher who dots
not know how to win the confidence or in
spire the enthusiasm of his pupils; the ntin
inter, whose “ways” repel people when he
takes the most pains to win their good will —
such persons are found everywhere. They
do the best they know how, but they don't
succeed. And since it is an ex[>erience that
is divinely assigned to so many, may we not
conclude that the ministry of poverty and
defeat is often better for us than any worldly
success could be. “Bles-ed are they who
make money or achieve prominence,” did not
find a place in the Beatitudes—does not, in
fact sound much like them.— Good. Company.
We do not know what real success
is. Doubtless it often seems to us that
a man is failing when if we could see
the end from the beginning, as God sees
it, we should know that tlfat man is
nearing heaven every day. Doubtless,
too, we often think that a man is suc
ceeding when he is in fact on the high
road to everlasting ruin. Mere world
ly “succeed," as it is called, is very
short-lived, tend, to the vast majority
of mankind, it would doubtless be in
jurious. It is well that the Lord
reigneth.
—lt is said to be a fact that the additions
to the churches are smaller during the year
in which a presidential election is held than
at other times. The inference is, that some
people’s politics are paramount to their re
ligion. This is a shame to Christians. Let
this reproach be avoided in 1880. — Christian
Advocate.
The religious press is responsible for
a good deal of this; whereupon we
propose to all our exchanges to solidify.
It is said that the South is “solid,” and
also that the North is “solid.” Now
we suggest that it would be well for all
the Christians in the country—North,
South, East and West—to become
"solid,” and set their faces against all
wrong, and against all that leads to
wrong; making war against the com
mon enemy, forbearing with one an
other, and aiding one another in every
good work, and all in the spirit of
Jesus. When this solidification takes
place, it will matter but little what the
politics of the country may be.
—The Presbyterian Banner (Pitts
burgh, Pa.,) has the following :
Why business is stagnant in the South,
while it has revived in the North, is a query
to many. The Richmond State explains
this by pertinent reference to the Southern
spirit of lepudiation, which makes capital
shun investment in the States where finan
cial dishonety i- most rampant. To this
may be th general of per
son as w r ' A- ■xfV V’s- which is believed in
the North <(’ the South
Many people in the South say that there is
no good reasi n for this apprehension ; never
theless, it is entertained by the great mass of
Northern people, and that too from a pretty
large aggregation of facts. The South owes
it to itself to remedy this state of things as
soon as possible, as it is rapidly making a
"solid North.” Here is a work in which
ministers and all public men in the South
can and must take an active part, if that en
tire section of country, capable of so much
in the future, is not to be left behind farther
than ever. It is the true friends of the Sou'll
who warn it of the dangers to which it is
exposing itself.
To all which we have a few things
to say in reply. 1. Business is reviving
at the South. We must think that
there are very few cities or towns in
the United States in which improve
ment is either more rapid or more
steady than this city of Atlanta, in
which we write. 2. Capital does not
shun investment here. It is steadily
coming into the State from the North I
and elsewhere. Only a few days ago
we saw a Northern gentleman, repre-1
senting a million anil a quarter, nego- j
tiating for a purchase to that amount j
in our State. 3. As to “financial dis- j
honesty,” we have only to say that
notwithstanding all the efforts of “re
ligious,” and other papers, to break I
down our credit for political purposes, |
the six per cent, bonds of the State of !
Georgia are above par in Wall street, I
and have been so for a long time. 4.
As to "insecurity of person and proper-1
ty,” we confess that the situation is not j
satisfactory, but we arc ready to com-I
pare statistics with Pennsylvania, and
if our record is not the better of the ;
two, we shall be greatly surprised. 1
5. 11 is true, as the Banner says, that
“the great mass of the Northern people
believe” all the evil that is said of us.
The reason of this is that they are mis
led by “religious” and other papers.
6. As to the “large aggregation of
facts,” the Banner well knows that
ugly facts enough can be gathered in
any city or State in the world, if skil
fully manipulated, and with careful
suppression of other facts of opposite
nature, to make that city or State ap
pear to be worse than Sodom itself.
The Banner knows also that there are
many industrious workers in this field,
and that it is to the interest of many
thousands of people in these United
States to denounce and vilify the
South. 7. We agree with the Banner
that “the South owes it to itself to
remedy this state of things as soon as
possible.” For this reason we are try
ing to improve our character by foster
ing virtue at home, and trying to im
prove our reputation by correcting such
false and harmful impressions as the
THE CHRISTIAN HERALD,
of Tennessee.
editorial of the Banner is calculated to
make.
—A lady who prays each Sabbath morn
ing that she may that day have something
suited to her either in the way of encourage
ment or reproof, finds that she is never dis
appointed. A woid in the Psalm, or prayer,
or sermon, is sent her, and she goes home
not only feeling that her prayer has been
answered, but that she has been benefited by
the services. How many Christians do just
this way? How many families, in their
Sabbath mornings’ devotions, and how many
Christians, in their secret prayers, make it a
special petition that the pastor may be
blessed in his preaching, and that they may
have spiritual profit from the exercises ? If
there were more of this, there would be
greater edification. United Presbyterian.
Our observation is, that people gen
erally get what they go for, when they
go to church. At any rate, when they
go to get’ good, they are sure to get it.
Meat for Men.—No man who believes
that he has a truth in hand feels any encour
agement to present it to one whose mind is
empty of all knowledge. The more knowl
edge one has in any department, the more
ready is he to comprehend and appreciate
discoveries in that department. The enthu
siastic inventor has his zeal dampened when
he finds that he has been attempting io ex
plain his wonderful invention to a man who
is totally ignorant of the first principles of
mechanics. To him who knows nothing of
mathematics, or astronomy, or chemistry,
what splendor is there in the discoveries of
Faraday or Leverier? It is just so that
want of knowledge in the hearer dampens the
zealof the preacher. Paul was on the full
stretch of an argument on the priesthood of
Christ when he was suddenly arrested, in
mid-career, by the recollection of the want of
knowledge in those to whom he was writing.
He stops to complain that they are dull of
hearing, that when they should be feeding
on meat, they are drinking milk; that when
they should be teachers, they need to. be
taught first principles, and when they should
be men, they are babes. We modern and
feeble followers of the apostles feel the same
drawback. I admit that I believe there is
much very inapt, crude, and stupid preach
ing, bnt I insist that there is much more
stupid hearing, and the failure of great effects
in all preaching is not so mudb due to the
f&lpit as 10 the pew. The man who preach
es must know something, he must study, he
must make some preparation. No man bnt
a fanatic ever attempts to talk about that of
which he is conscious of knowing nothing.
But do you not undertake to listen to dis
courses in departments of thought to which
you have given no attention ? And do you
not suppose that this is exceedingly discour
aging to the pastor? If you endeavor to
render your minds receptive, as he tries to
render his impartive, would there not be
better success in preaching ? Did you ever
try to kindle a fire ? Do you remember that
it was not so easy to make green wood burn
as it was to kindle dry wood? An ignorant
hearer in the church is like a wet log on the
fire that simmers, and sobs, and frets through
a very long process before it becomes dry
enough to kindle. There is a contest be
tween the log and the fire whether the fire
shall kindle the log or the log shall extin
guish the fire. Just so it is when an earnest
preacher has to deal with an ignorant con- i
gregation. And indeed it may not be a con
gregation ignorant of art, and science, and
literature, and politics, and business. It
may be greatly learned in all of these things,
and yet ignorant of spiritual things. It is I
all the more painful when this ignorance of,
the highest things is found with learning in
the lower departments. There must be i
some fountain of spiritual knowledge. The ■
oracles of God are the only sources of that
knowledge. For physical science the ma
terinl universe is the field ; for mental science
the intellectual constitution of man'; for
spiritual science the mind of the Spirit in
the word of God. And all these several de
partments are perfectly harmonious.
Now, just as there is a progressive system
in any other department of knowledge, in
nature and mind, by which we can ascend
from simple facts to their complex connec
tions, and from these connections to generali
zations which we call laws, so there is a
progressive system of truth in the Bible.
Religious knowledge must be progressive.
We ought to know more than our fathers.
And this does not necessitate the making
of a new revelation. A book written on
geology a quarter of a century ago is abso
lutely worthless now except as a mile stone far
behind to show the progress of later investi
gations. So of chemistry, botany and as
tronomy. Yet these do not necessitate the
idea of fresh creations. The affinities, the
plants, the rocks, lhe atoms, the stones, are
the same as they have been for thousands of
years; but our acquirements in the know!-
i edge of all these is perpetually enlarging.
The records of God's mind in the Bible need
no addition or appendix, yet the workers in
this field will expand the area of religious
knowledge as long as the Bible anil the hu
man mind co-exist in the universe, just as
astronomy will extend its domain so long ns
the mind of man co exists with God's multitu

dinous stars. There is just as much a science
of supernature as there is a science of naturo
but it is absurd to complain that the Bible
is not written scientifically, in an orderly
body of dogmatic theology, as to complain
that the book of nature was not written scien
tifically, that is, all the plants arranged in
growth, in parterres, and in strips like rib
bons, and all the animals set along as they
are arranged in the great cabinets of natural
history. No, let God be praised forever that
he did not make this world after the stiff
pattern of a Dutch garden, but flung the
beautiful all about, giving man’s mind the
capability of educing the scientific system
from this apparently promiscuous prodigality
of God’s creation. Just so he made the Bi
ble, history and prophecy, and song and
drama and letters. There is a string of truth
on whicn they are strung, a principle moving
through them all. It is our business to dis
cover that principle, and not content our
selves with being amused at the phenomena
of individual truths, and not destroy our
intellecual symmetry and equipoise by inces
sant devotion to a truth separated from all
its connections. — Rev. Dr. Deems, in Sunday
Magazine.
—We have received a large number of
abusive letters in our time—what editor has
not?— lnterior.
Well, the editor of The Index has
never yet received an abusive letter,
but perhaps that is because he has
been in office so short a time—only a
year.
—ln a certain district in Western New
York objection is being made to the re-elec
tion of a very worthy member of the legis
lature, becaused it is charged that while at
Albany last winter he “wasted his .time in
Sunday-school work.” Whereupon the can
didatein question replies, that he did spend
his Sundays at the State capitol in labors
connected with Sunday-school interests, and
furthermore he expects to spepd his Sundays
next winter in precisely the same way,
whether he is elected to the legislature or
not. This statement gives his political op
ponents a fine opportunity to cry out: “Hear
him! hear him! He says he will do it
again,”—and we hope he will. The number
of public servants who evince this hanker
ing for Sunday-school dissipation is on the
increase, and in view of the general bent of
human nature it does not seem strange that
some are found to object. We hardly ex
pi
it would come from Western Ji iw York.
We clip the above from The Sun
day-School Times with the remark that
if the legislator spoken of bad attend
ed a horse-race,or had been a frequenter
of theatres and drinking shops, and
given to profanity and other vices, it
is probable that not a word of censure
would have been uttered.
Shall They be Cut Off?— lt is some
times a difficult matter to decide whether a
delinquent Church member should be cut
off or borne with longer. The conscientious
pastor may be helped by this suggestion:
As long as there is manifest a desire to flee
from the wrath to come and lead a new lite,
forbearance may be exercised. When it is
manifest that no such desire exists, the place
of such delinquent is outside. No soul
should be given up upon whom the Church
has the least hold, but the church must free
itself from responsibility for such as drag its
sacred name down into the dust to be the
scorn of wicked men. The pastor who cuts
off' a soul which, though erring, is still
struggling for the new life, makes a sad mis
take. The pastor who, from any motive of
fear, or carnal policy, fails to protect the
visible church of Christ from the damage
done by impenitent and incorrigible trans-
I gressors of her laws, commits a blunder
equally fatal.
The principle embodied in what is
I said in the above extract from the
Christian Advocate (Nashville) is cor
-1 n et, bnt in its application there may
I be many embarrassments. Mere de
! linquents may be borne with for a
time, longer or shorter, according to
circumstances, but in cases of gross
immorality the offender should be
promptly cut off from the fellowship
of a church, even if he professes re
pentance. Otherwise the most atro
cious crime might be committed with
impunity. It takes time to convince
the world, and it ought to take time to
convince the church, that a profession
of penitence is genuine, and that
time is better spent by the offender out
of the church than in it.
Short but good is the following from
The Central Baptist:
Children would be miserable and disobe
dient, if they regarded their parents only as
rulers. Why should Christians bury every
thought of God in the idea that He is only to
be obeyed and feared? Why not view him as
| one who provides for and protects all His
, children? In Him they may trust, and
I with Him thert is safety.
