6 The Household. For tne Christian Index.} CONSECRATION HYMN. BEV. CHAS. A. STAKKI.Y. Jesus, thou hast died for me, What have I to offer thee ? Can I pay thee. Gracious One, For the kindness thou bast done? What Is all the wealth I have To the blood thy goodness gave? What is all the world compared With the life thy mercy spared 7 Though I can not pay thee, Lord, I can follow out thy word; Help me do an honest part, Loving Jesus, here’s my heart. It shall throb for thee, and prove E'er responsive to thy love; It shall cherish all thy laws And be married to thy cause. Jesus, here’s my feeble mind; All its powers sbalt be combined To proclaim thy gracious birth, To advance thy truth on earth. Here's my will; Lord, it shall move Pliant to the will above, It shall softer grow each day And more willing to obey. Here's my body, now to tie All a sacrifice to thee ; Hands to do thy missions meet, Feet to run thy errands sweet. Here's a breast to bear the shield, Here are arms to win the field, Here's a tongue that shall proclaim All the glories of thy name. Jesus, take my heart and mind, Take my will so glad resigned, Take my body—let them be Consecrated all to thee. Let my heart desire thee more; Let my mind thy name adore; Make my body all thine own, Let it love thy work alone. Elberton, Ga. BOYS, (jOHOW. Ah. boys, you who have gone out from the old homesteads into the rush and bustle of life, do you ever think of the patient mothers who stretching out to you arms that are powerless to draw you back to the old home nest? Arms that were strong to carry you once, pressed to hearts that love you now as then. No matter, though your hair is silver streaked, and Dot in the cradle calls you grandpa, you are "the boys” so long as mother lives. You are the children of the old home. Nothing can crowd you out of your mothers heart. You may have failed in the battle of life, and your manhood may have been crushed out against the wall of circumstances; you may have been prosperous, and gained wealth and fame; but mother’s love has followed you always. Many a “boy” has not been home in five, ten, or twen ty years. And all this time mother has been waiting. Ah, who does not know the agony expressed by that word ? She may be even now saying, “1 dreamed of John last night. Maybe he will come to day. He may drop in for dinner and the poor, trembling hands prepare some favorite dish for him. Dinner comes and goes, but John comes not with it. Thus, day after day, month alter month, year after year passes, till at last, "hope deferred maketh the heart sick,” aye, sick unto death ; the feeble arms are stretched out no longer. The dim eyes are closed, the gray hairs are smoothed for the last time, aud the tired hands are folded to everlasting rest, and the mother waits no more on earth for one who comes not. God grant she may not have to wait vainly for his com ing in heaven. Once more I say unto you, boys, go home, if only for a day. Let mother know you have uot forgoton her. Her days may be numbered. Next winter may cover her grave with snow. — Watch-lower. What Makes a House Beautiful?— It is an excellent thing to have a well kept house, and a beautifully appointed table, but, after all, the best cheer of every home must come from the heart and manner of the home mother. If that is cold, and this ungracious, all the wealth of India can not make the home pleasant and inviting. Intelligence, too, must lend its charm, if we would have home and Eden. The severe style of house-order neatness seldom leaves much margin for intellectual culture. Even generai reading is considered as out of the question for a woman so hur ried and so worried with her scrubbing and pollishing, and making up garments. A simpler style of living and housefur nishing would set many a bonded slave at liberty, and add vastly to the comfort of all in the house. Hospitality rarely prevails in these spotless line and-letter-houses. Compa ny disarrange the books, and disorder the house, which had work enough in it before. The mother can not throw off her household cares, and sit down for a real heart-to-heart converse with the old friend of her childhood. Still less can she enter into the joys and pleasures right and delightful to her own children, because of the extra work of cleaning which it will be likely to make. With all your toils to make a house beautiful, do not neglect the first ele ment of all to beautify yourself, body and soul. A sweet loving word, and a warm clasp of the hand, are far more to a guest than the most elaborately embroidered lambrequins at your win dow, or the most exquisite damask on your table. There are bare cabin homes, that have been remembered with pleas ure, because of the beautiful, loving pres ence there, and stately palaces, which leave the impression of an iceberg on the mind.— Baptist Weekly. To Make Yeast.— For yeast, as made in Tennessee, take a large handful of hops, put them into a quart of water and boil ten minutes. Put five tablespoon fuls of sifted flour into a crock ; strain the boiling hop water into it; beat it well; add one teaspoonful of salt, and when cool enough to bear the finger in, add one yeast cake soaked soft, and set to rise in a warm place. When it froths, it is ready for use; then set in a cool place. If you want dry yeast, use the same quantity of corn-meal instead of flour, and stiffen it with corn-meal; make into cakes, and dry in the shade, turning often. For the bread, to a gal lon and a half of flour, take one teacupful of soft yeast. Make a hole in the flour, pour in a pint of boiling milk or water, add cold milk or water until cool enough to stir with the hands; add the yeast and salt. Then mix the rest of the flour with warm water, and set it to rise in a warm place. FHE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST! THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER Is, 1881. Salt for thk Throat.—ln these days I when the diseases of the throat are so universally prevalent, and in so many cases fatal, we feel it our duty to say a word in benalf of a most effectual, if not positive, cure for sore throat. For many years past, indeed we may say dining the whole of a life of more than forty years, we have been subject to sore throat, and more particularly to a dry hacking cough, which is not only distressing to ourselves, but to our friends and those with whom we are brought into business contact. Last fall we were induced to try what virtue there was in common salt. We commenced by using it three times a day—morning, noon and night. We dis solved a large tablespoonful of pure table salt in about a half smad tumbler full of water. With this we gargle the throat most thoroughly just before meal time. The result has been that during the en tire winter we were not only free from coughs and colds, but the dry hacking cough has entirely disappeared. We attribute these satisfactory results solely to the use of salt gargle, and most cordially recommend a trial of it to those who are subject to this disease of the throat. Many persons who have never tried the salt gargle have the impression that it is unpleasant. Such is not the case. On the contrary, it is pleasant, and after a few days use no person who loves a nice clean mouth and a first-rate sharpener of the appetite will abandon it. — Exchange. WATCHING AND WAITING. “Will any one then, at the beautiful gate, Be watching and waiting for me ?” Oh I 1 long for the ihorea of a far away land, For the slopes of its sunny vales, I long for the gleam of its silvery strand. And the breath of its fragrant gales, But the waters run dark on the hither side Os that far away land unknown, And I stand In lhe shadows and wait for the tide That must carry me out alone. I see in my vision a city so fair, Ils glories can never be told; And I witness the joys that the sanctified share In that far away city of old ; I hear the melodious raptures that roll Like the unending song of the sea; They tell of the lost and loved of my soul, Who are watching and waiting for me. The vo'ces I love In yon “homo of the soul," Call faintly from over the sea, Whose dark, silent waters unceasingly roll Between the fair city and me. My soul in the silence of joy welts apart, And lifts her frail wings to be free, For the voices of dear ones, the loved of my heart, Come calling and calling for me. The light of their glorious faces I see, I scent the sweet breath of the flowers Which their snowy white hands wave in beckon ing me, Across to those heavenly bowers. Oh I many and many are those who await, Where the blest and purified be— At the shinning bars of the beautiful gate They are waiting and watching for me. The friends of my youth whom my love would recall Have joined the etherial train. And one of my heart more beloved than them all Is chanting the heavenly s rain I feel my day closing, the hourgroweth late, That city more near seems to be, When I think that beyond, at the beautiful gate, So many are waiting for me. Blow softly, blow softly, ye balm bringing gales, O er the sands of this low lying shore; Your favoring breezes are filling the sails Os the boat that will carry me o’er. I’ll fear not, though dark lie the hour and late, To sail away out on death's sea, For the Friend of my soul at the beautiful gate, Is watching and waiting for me. A. Valuable Expkbiencs —Few men are better known throughout the Methodist de nomination than D. W. Bartine.D.D., M.D. Speaking of a most critical incident in his life, he said : "Some time since I found myself suffering from what is known as Al buminuria. By the use of a reliable test, I found albumen in the urine, and in some slight degree in a few instances in a coagula ted state. I suffered from dropsy, particu larly about the ankles, slight pains about the' kidneys, a derangement of digestion, great dryness of the skin, at times much thirst, and of course a gradual failing of strength. This was about the state of things when I commenced using Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. I took about six tablespoonfuls every d.iy for a week, when I fonnd all my symptoms decidedly improved, and at the end of two weeks it was difficult to detect any trace of albumen. Having imprudently taken cold, I had a very slight relapse some two weeks ago, when I began again using the medicine, and am now as well as ever.” The doctor's symptoms are as common as headache, and yet, unless taken in time, they may lead to the worst results, which the remedy above named will certainly prevent.

Patrick, Sec. President. C. P. Knight, Sole General Agent, 93 W. Lombard Street, Baltimore. The Popular Demand.—So great has been the popular demand for the celebrated reme dy Kidney-Wort, that it is having an im mense sale from Maine to California. Some have found it inconvenient to prepare it from the dry compound. For such the pro prietors now prepare it in liquid form. This can be procured at the druggists. It has precisely the same effect as the dry, bnt is very concentrated so that the dose is much smaller. —Lowell Mail.

J. 8. L. WILSON.—Died near Bowdon, at the resi dence of his son B. F. Wilson. Elder James Wilson, within a few days of his ninety-sev enth year. He was born in South Carolina, November 25th, 1784, and died July 7th, 1681. His connection with the church and his ordination were before the first division of the Baptist church in this State. Brother Wil son served as a ialtnful deacon for years, be ing true to bls office, thereby purchased to himself a great degree of faith and boldness, for the cause of his Muster. He was ordained to the ministry some time In the year 1820, by Jesse Mercer, Joal Colley and Cyrus White. Brother Wilson lived near LaGrange from 1833 to the winter of 1880. The people of Troup county will bear witness to bis consistent Christian life. Those of us that knew him best loved hitn best. As a minister he was faithful for sixty years.

After a removal from South Carolina to Georgia, she resided several years, from thence Elder Gore moved to Texas, where up to the time of lierfatal Illness she found work for her heart and hands. She was an exam glary Christian, and we feel has gone to the right realms In the Beyond ; and while the death angel’s stroke has made a vacant seat in the family circle and a void In the bosom of many friends,'twill only swell the num bers ’round the “Great White Throne.” Adieu, adieu 'tls hard to say, But ’tls not a long farewell, For In realms of lasting day Hope we too to dwell.
