PROMISE.
.FRANCIS RIDI.KY iIAVRROAL.
Certiiuly I will tc with thee.”
P (Ex. Hi. 12 )
“Certainly I will bo with thee 1”
Father, I l-avo found It true:
To thy f.lthfnlneM and mercy I
would set my seal anew.
All the year Thy grace hath kept
me; Thou my help indeed
hast been;
Marvelous the loviug-klndnera
every day and hour hath seen.
“Certainly I will be with thee I"
Let me feel it. Savior dear,
Let me know that Thou art with
me, very precioua, very near.
On this day of solemn pausing,
with Thyself all longing still,
Let Thy pardon, let Thy presence,
let Thy peace my spirit fill.
“Certainly I will be with thee!”
Bl* used Spirt*, come to me,
Rest upon me, dwell within me,
let my heart Thy temple be:
Through the trackles- year before
me, holy One with me abide!
Teach me, comfort me, and calm
me, be my ever prea-ntOulde.
•• Certainly I will be with thee!”
Starry promise In the night!
All uncertainties, like shadows,

“Certainly 1 will be with thee;”
He hath B|s>ken : I have heard 1
True of old, and true this moment,
I will trust Jehovah's word

A MOTHER'S INFLU
ENCE.
There is a beautiful little
Sunday- school hymn begin
ning, “I ought to love my
mother, she loved me long
ago.” Until to-day 1 hail not
heart! that hymn since I was
a little child and had learned
it at tny mother’s knee. I
have grown old since then
and that sainted mother has
gone home to that rest above.
To-day when I heard tiie
children singing those same
words the thoughts of other
years came rushing to my
memory and filled my eyes
with tears. The influence of
my own mother’s Christian
character, and her life which
was a living example of her
belief, was, not without its
effects on me. And it is
always so; the influence of
a mother’s pious training
will surely be blessed of
God, even though sometimes
the children of parents, emi-
nent by their piety seem likely for a time
to bring,by their waywardness, the gray
hairs of loving mother and fond father
in sorrow to the grave.
A young man was addicted to the
moderate use of intoxicating drinks.
Had you told him be would ever get
drunk, doubtless with insulted feelings
would he have replied to you, “Is thy
servant a dog that he should do this
thing. ” Time wore on and little by lit
tle the habit grew until one day he was
brought home to his mother in a drunken
stupor. Think of that mother’s anguish
at seeing her son in this condition 1 But
her faith failed not: she knew in whom
she had believed and that God doeth all
things well. After her son had recovered
she took him aside and having prayed to
Almighty God to reclaim her wandering
one she said to him, “My son, stop and
think when you drinkutgain that you are
drinking to your oternAl destrufiiion.’’
Her influence over him was as strong
as ever, ami these words from her were
enough. From that moment to the day
of his death he never but the wine cup
to his lips again.
“W hen I was a little boy and went off
to school,” said an eminent divne, “1
had my first genuine trial and moral
fight. Four of us boys were in the same
room and the rest of them were older
than I was. When night came and it was
time to go to bed, I was d mbtful whether
to kneel down and say my prayers.
The other boys did not but simply un
dressed and jumped into bed. Just then
my mother’s parting words. “My son, '
you have no earthly father, but promise
me that, no matter what others may do,
you will kneel down every night and
pray to your Father in Heaven,” came to
mv mind, and I fell upon my knees
and tried to pray. I could think of
nothing and could say nothing but
“God be merciful to me a sinner!"
Boys, don’t be ashamed to pray. It is a
mistaken notion that so many young
boys and men have who think it manly
and big to pretend to disregard religion.
They don’t mean it really, and apart from
being hypocritical, they show how little
sense they have.
Not long ago I was staying with an
old bachelor; we occupied the same
room. Before retiring lie knelt down by
his bedside and poured out his soul to
I God in prayer. When he arose I could
not help taking him by the hand and
giving him a hearty shake. It did ray
heart good to see this old man bow like
a child before the throne of the Heaven
ly Grace.
He told me his mother had taught him
to do so, and he moreover said he had
never seen her do nor heard her say any
thing inconsistent with her Christian
profession during her whole life.
What a glorious tribute to a mother’s
memory! Have any of you dear chil
dren, kind and loving mothers ? Love,
honor, and obey them, for if they are
taken from you there is no one who can
fill their place. Young men, who are en
tering the battle of life, where tempta
tions allure and you are about to enter
upon some unhallowed sport, stop and
think “wbuld my mother approve of
this?”
Little children, you who sometimes
think your mother is unkind, remember
she is older and wiser than you, and that
it is for your own good when she denies
you anything.
Never answer your mother rudely, for
it wounds the spirit that loves you and
remorse will some day come to you for it,
and then think of the pain it causes her,
for we are told “How sharper than a set
pent’s tooth it is to t have a thankless
child.”
Remember then to love ami cherish
her who bore you, and your Heavenly
Father will bless you. for he haspromised
it in His Holy Word, and we know thai
He will do so for “with Him there is no
variableness neither shadow of turning.”
G. L. 8. in Central Presbyterian.
A five-year-old boy stood watching his
baby-brother, who was making a great
noise over having his face washed. The
little fellow at length said: “You think
you have lots of trouble, but you don’t
know anything about it! Wait till you’re
big enough to get a whipping, and then
you’ll see —won’t he, mamma?”

SELECTED MISCELLANY.
The art of praising caused the art of
speaking.
No man is more miserable than he that
hath no adversity.
An effort made for the happiness of
others lifts us above ourselves.
All up-hill work when we would do;
all down hill when we suffer.
Half the ills we hoard in our hearts
are ills because we hoard them.
The two powers which constitute a
wise man are those of bearing and for
bearing.
The qualities we possess never make us
so ridiculous as those we pretend to
have.
We carry all our neighbors' crimes in
sight and throw all our own. over out
shqulder. v t p * F
Youth is the tassel and silken flower
of life; age is the full corn, ripe and
solid in the ear.
Education begins the gentleman, but
reading, good company and reflection
must finish him.
No life can be utterly miserable that
is heightened by the laughter and love
of one little child.
Bastifulness may sometimes exclude
pleasure, but seldom opens any avenue
to sorrow or remorse.
Though avarice will preserve a man
from being necessitously poor it gen
erally makes him too poor to be wealthy.
Reflect upon your present blessings, of.
which every man has many; not on
your past misfortunes, of which all men
have some.
As a tonic and nervine for debilitated
women, nothing surpasses Dr. Pierce’s “Fa

Man reigns by employing one-half of

the other.

OBITUARIES.
BRANCH.—Mrs Sarah M. Branch, daughter of
Philip and Elizabeth S. Robinson, and wife of
Wm. IL B anch, was born in Burke county Ga.,
on the 13th day of January, 1845 She joined the
Baptist church in Penfield in 1859 ; was married
on the 6Ui day of December, 1864; died tn Greens
boro Ga.. on the 27ih day of August, 1881. leav
ing her husband and six children, the youngest
only three weeks old at the time of her death.
This is the comprehensive record of one who il
lustrated in her character and life all the virtue*
and graces of Christian womanhood. As a
daughter, she was gentle and obedient, as a wife,
faithful, loving and true, as a mother conspicu
ous for her devotion to her children, whom she
watched and cherished with peculiar tenderness
and so.icitude. There was nosphere of influence
that she did not beautify and make purer by her
presence. The poor, both white ana black, bles
sed her for acts of Christian charity unostentati
ously rendered in their times of sadness and dis
tress. As a member of the church in this place,
she was faithful and true to those great principle s
she vowed to defend when she was buried with
Christ in baptism—yes faithful and true, when
the leaders of a dangerous schism were some of
them her most intimate associates. She made
the heart of her pastor glad by the gentle sympa
thies, and pious fervor. She was lovely and
pleasant in her life, and her death was a triumph
of Christian trust and resignation.
Her last audible utterance was that comforting
and cheering Scripture. “I know that my Re
deemer liveth,” and this was chofled as the text
for her funeral sermon. Yes. she knew her Re
deemer here in her earthly s »journ ; how much
better does she know him now,—yea even ms she is
known. “ They shall see his face, and his name
shall be on their foreheads.” Sue has left a deep
ly h illicit d husband, and six precious little chil
dren who are hardly old enough to understand
fully the great loss they have sustained. The
blow is a heavy one to those loving hearts; but
how much is it ’mitigated by the reflection that
the redeemed spir t of this beloved wife and
-moi her is safe in that bleated abode where Jesus is
and where no sin nor sorrow Can ever come.
The parting, as she said among her last words,
“ will only be for a little while. ” She was not a
sVanger to her Savior, nor yet were the bright
spirits that waited to salute her all Jstrange, for
sime of her deary beloved ones had proceeded
her to that happy shore. She has only gone home,
home where no changes of pain or death can
come, where the inhabitant shall never say ‘ I
am sick.’ Let the sorrow stricken ones who are
left to toil al ne a little farther in this valley of
tetrs, comfort one another with these words.

Tne following preamble and resolutions were
adopted,’viz:
Whereas, we feel it our duty to do all we can iu
the vindication of the cause of Christ, and feel
ing that the action of 'he Helicon church in the
case of the Rev. E. S. V. Briant, is damaging to
that cause,
Resolved, That we call a Presbytery of minis

J. E. Reives, of Wolsey’s Ford, to meet with us on
Tuesday the 27ih Sep., 1881, to consider the ac
tion of the Bell ton church in Raid case, and advise
with Uh an to the proper course to be pursued.
Resolved, That we Invite the Bellton church
with her Moderator to meet with us on that occa
sion.
Resolved, Tha» we invite all brethren who are
interested in this matter to meet with us and that
we hereby tender to them the hospitalities of this
church and neighborhood, during their stay with
us.
Resolved, That we ask the North Georgia, Bap
tist Banner, and Christian Index to publish this
’preamb'e and these resolutions. Done in con
ference and signed by order of the chuich this

BLlTCH.—Departed this life September Ist 1881,
our beloved brother. J. B. Blitch, of Archer, who
was born January 13tn 1861. and was baptized in
to the fellowship of Stafford Pond church in Au
gust 1879
We do not offer a tribute of empty words to the
memory of this desr young brother, for we fuel
inad* quate toxlo him justice. He was so noble,
kind and good, that he endeared himseif to the
hearts of all who knew him. When he gave his
hand to the minister, he gave his heart to Jesus.
He lived his feligion, for meet him when you
would It seemed as if this one momentous
thought engrossed his mind, “ What can I do for
my Master’s cause?” There is no doubt but he
exerted a good inflence in the circle in which
he moved. On the fourth Sabbath in last month
he was taken very ill. I preachedin Archer the
stme day, and received two members. On being
informed of it. he r plied that he was rejoiced to
hear it t>ut was sorry he could not attend.
He entertained no feirs of death, but like
others in youth, the joyous Spring time of life,
preferred to live if it were God's will. He has
' left the church militant to join the church trium
phant, and though there is one Christian voice
less on earth to greet us, we trust there is one
angel more in heaven singing praises around the
great white throne.
When beyond the rolling river,
We all will meet and sing forever,
In that home of love and beauty,
If we as C hristians do our duty.

which he was the faithful ami efficient clerk for
eight years previous to his death. He was at
tacked with typhoid pneumonia and fell asleep
in Jesus on the 21st of June, 1881.
Cut off in the prime of life he was nevertheless
ready by the grace of God to meet the call of the
Master and has gone up higher T*’e church and
