4 HKNRY H. TUCK HR, Kditor THE PRESENT EMPLOYMENTS OE CHRIST. When our Savior hung on the cross he said “It is finished." H7u(f was finished? We suppose he meant that his life-work on earth was finished. Certainly, all that he has to do for us was not finished. What else is there lor him to do? It would be presump tion in us to say what all his employ ments have been since he left this world ; yet we are not wholly ignorant of them. “ I go ” says our Lord, “to .prepare a place for you, that where I am there ye may be also.” We learn from this, that there is to be a place for us; that it was not prepared at the time our Savior spoke; that it will be prepared ; that he will prepare it; and that when prepared, he and his people will dwell in it together. As ts what the preparation consists in, we know nothing. But we do know, that this preparation whatever it may be, has reference to us, and that when our Savior left this world he engaged in this work. lie went to the other world forthat purpose. Having come from heaven to earth on our account, it is also on our account that he has again exchanged worlds, and gone back to whence he came; and as he busied himself for us while he was here, so also he busied himself for us on his return. Our Lord also said, “ When the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father he shall testify of me.” John 15. 26. He sends the Comforter. Os course we cannot fully understand the expres sion. But this may be continuous work. In speaking of it we must use the language of accommodation, for nothing can be said in literal terms, of things so awful and so incomprehensi ble. It may be, that the Spirit is sent on a separate errand to each individual saint; he may be sent hourly and every moment, on a separate errand to each ; there may be a particular message for each; the message may vary with our varying circumstances and needs ; and these myriad messages, which never cease to come day or night, may perpetually employ the Spirit in bring ing, as the Son in sending them. Our Lord may be keeping up unbroken communication with us, though we be unaware of it. We are forgetful of him, but we know that he is not for getful of us; and when his Spirit woos our hearts, we may feel as if the Savior himself had spoken to us. What pe culiar influence this Spirit has upon us, we ipay not be able to describe, but we know that whatever it may be, we should not have experienced it if Christ had not left us; for says he, “It is ex pedient for you that I go away, for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.” John 16. 7. Cur brother Paul, speaking by the Holy Ghost, gives us still further infor mation as to the employments of our Savior, now that he is exalted in glory. He has an “unchangeable priesthood.” Jleb. 7. 24. What the duties of this office may be, we are not able to under stand, but we accept the fact, and we know that this priesthood is for us. We are also taught that Christ “ ever iiveth to make intercession for us.” Heb. 7. 25. This intercession may be a part of his priestly function, but whether it be so or not, the fact is,that the intercession is going on. and that we are they for whom it is made. We are taught too, by our brother John in .his first epistle, (1.1.) that “We have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” The office of Advocate may or may not, be implied in that of Priest and Interces sor, but in any event, we know that the Advocate is ours, and that it is in our behalf and on account of our sins that he is engaged. “If any man sin, we know that we have an Advocate.” So the connection of Christ with sinners and with sin has not yet ceased, and his work is not yet all accomplished. In three separate departments there fore, we know that our Savior is now engaged for us. In one, he is prepar ing a place for us; in another he is sending his consolations and his mes sages of love to us by his Spirit; and in another, he intercedes with the Father, to whom his advocacy and his are addressed. One thing we know, and that is, that ■a glorified spirit such as his, and es pecially one identified with God can never be idle ;on the contrary, it must be an ever-living and an ever-active energy whose powers control all the of eternity ; and a glorious con ception it is, that those powers are put forth for the benefit and blessing of those who trust in him! A Georgia Colonel is said to have -given the order to his Regiment “Ad vance five paces to the rear!” This is just what the Leaders of Advanced Thought are asking us all to do; but we don’t belong to the crawfish regi ment, and don’t advance worth a cent.

THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST I THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1881. THE LIFE OF THE NATION. There has been a vast amount of nonsense published within the last few months in regard to Guiteau’c crime, which, it is said, endangered the “ life of the Nation.’’ Exactly what this silly expression means we do not know. The Nation, we suppose, consists of the people who are citizens of the United States. Surely the bullet of the assas sin did not subject these millions of lives to hazard. Certainly the territory of the United States is not the Nation, and if it were, it has no life to lose. Perhaps the “life of the Nation” means the continued existence of the govern ment. But the President is not the government; and the death of Mr. Garfield has had absolutely no effect on it whatever. Everything moves on just as if nothing had happened. True, the policy of the administration may be different; it may be better, or it may be worse; but the government is just what it always was. The constitution and laws are unchanged ; we have not been without a President for one mo ment, for when Mr. Garfield ceased to breathe, Mr. Arthur instantly became his successor. The principle of the maxim that “ The King never dies ” holds good in Republican governments no less than in others. Should Mr. Arthur die, Mr. David Davis will in stantly become President, and if his life should be spared until the assem bling of the new Congress, which will be in a few days, and should he then die, the Speaker of the House would step into his place; and if all these dreadful things were to take place, theie would still not be the slightest change in the government. The Con stitution provides for no contingency beyond the accession of the Speaker of the House to the Presidency, but even in this case, not likely to happen, if the Speaker-President should die, it is not to be supposed that fifty millions of civilized people would allow them selves to fall into anarchy. The Chief Justice, or the Secretary of State, or the Secretary of the Senate, or some body else, by the advice and consent of those in high political position, would manage, either by calling on the Gov ernors of the different States, or in some other way, to get the Senate together, and a President pro tern, of that body would be elected, who would act as President of the United States until a new election could be had. The irregu larity of the proceedings would not, under the circumstances, be objected to by the American people. Even in so extreme a case as this, the govern ment would be substantially un changed ; and, in a few years, if not in a few months, or weeks, the ripple on the surface would have passed away. We have no apology to make for Guiteau. Unless proved to be insane, we suppose he would be convicted by the unanimous verdict of fifty mMlions, if so large a jury could be impanelled. But the foolish talk about his having struck a blow at the “ Life of the Na tion” only shows the wild extravagance into which some people fall in times of popular excitement. We suppose that no man, in his sober senses, can have so little confidence in the life of this “Nation” as to believe that an assassin could “ kill ” it. If anything can kill it, it is the bad morals of the people, who refuse to obey the laws or to en force them. The false verdict of a jury is a much more serious blow than that which Guiteau struck. There are twelve times as many men engaged in it; there is no way of reaching their crime; they pass for respectable men and goed citizens after they have com mitted it; and their crime (to say nothing of their perjury) consists in the virtual abolishment of law, the highest crime that it is possible for a man to commit. Such iniquity as this certainly tends to overthrow all gov ernment, and to reduce a people to barbarism. Let justice be fairly ad ministered under laws made by our best men, above all let the principles of the gospel of Christ take possession of the hearts of the people, and the Nation, whatever that word may be construed to mean, will last as long as there is a use for it. ANALYSIS OF FAITH. Justification is by faith; salvation is by faith ; all the promises in the Scrip tures are made to believers, and to none others. “Believe on the Lord Je sus Christ and thou shalt be saved,” is the burden of all evangelical minis try. As faith is the foundation of the whole Christian system, it is well that we should understand what faith is. Many efforts have been made to ex plain it; perhaps one effort more will not be amiss; and our effort shall be in the way of analysis. The faith spoken of in the Scrip tures consists of three elements. 1. It implies belief, in the sense in which the word belief is used in common conver sation. A man must believe, in the sense of accepting as true all that is revealed concerning Jesus Christ, and all that was said by him. The facts relating to him must be admitted; the truths enunciated by him, or under his direction, must command the as sent of the mind. True, thia is not all that is implied by the faith of the Scriptures, but without this element faith would be incomplete. 2. Besides thia intellectual asaent, which ia mere matter of opinion, there must be ac companying sentiment, the sentiment of acquiescence, of hearty acquies cence, of joyful acquiescence: so that we shall not only believe that these things are true, but be glad that they are true; the heart must ratify the decision of the judgment; when the intellect affirms, then the sensibilities, roused to enthusiasm, and rejoicing in the truth, will exclaim, Amen! 3. Nor is this all. Belief of a proposition, even if this belief be accompanied with happy complacency, is one thing, and confidence in a person is another. It is one thing to believe a man, and an other thing to believe in him ; and one of these expressions means much more than the other. To believe a man is a specific mental act; to believe in him implies a chronio'moral condition. In one case we accept a statement; in the other we accept a person. The one is a cold intellection; the other is intel lection mixed with moral feeling. Now, gospel faith includes, besides the two elements already named, this kind of confidence in Jesus Christ. It is the trust of a person in a person. It is like the confidence of a man in his wife, when he knows her to be worthy of confidence. He believes in her. Without reference to any particular thing, his knowledge of her character, and his affection for herself, are such that he has a confidence in her that is generic and all-embracing; and as to her personal fidelity to him, his faith is so strong that he loses sight of the dis tinction between this and actual knowl edge. Blessed is he who not only believes Christ, and what is revealed about him, but who thus believes in him. There is Christ’s heart; herein his; and this heart trusts that one. The trust is universal, covering all the ground that trust can cover; it is un questioning ; it is implicit, and it is unshakeable; yet, while so broad and generic, it puts on its greatest strength and takes entire possession of the soul, stirring up all its affections, when its reference is to the personal relation of the Savior to the believer. The lan guage of the heart is, “I know he will be true to me." This is the analysis of faith. Now, in its synthesis, it is (1) intellectual, giving rational assent; (2) it is senti mental, rejoicing in assent; and (3) it is moral, yielding the person to a Person with a loving confidence know ing no bounds; one person being the believer himself, the other Jesus Christ. This faith—the faith that combines these three elements—is the faith that justifies. This is what we think our Savior meant when he said, “ He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life." The N. Y. Methodist says: “There are now only the most inadequate pro visions—often none at all —for the moral and religious instruction of a large proportion of the rising genera tion : the public schools are doing nothing, very many families are wholly irreligious, and the church only very partially compensates for these defects.” The problem of education will never be settled until the Church recognizes the truth, that secular education is as truly a part of her mission of secular bene faction as spiritual education is a part of her mission of spiritual benefaction ; until she assumes the whole burden of education, both spiritual and secular, as legitimately and inseparably hers, and adequate effort is made “to main tain primary parochial schools in con nection with the local churches all over this land, as is the case in Great Bri tain.” In “the Theory of Preaching,” Prof. Austin Phelps, to enforce the thought that the sermon should not “begin at a nebulous remoteness from the real sub ject,” says: “If you are to discourse on infant baptism your theme does not depend on the story of the deluge.” Os course, not. But may we not allege that if you are to advocate infant bap tism, your success depends (to speak figuratively) on a deluge, which shall first submerge and then sweep away everything positive and explicit in the testimony of Scripture as to the sub jects of the ordinance? In the miracle of the loaves and fishes there was, on the part of our Saviour, when he took the loaves thanksgiving, when he took the fishes praise. (So the words used by Mark imply.) Does this denote a progress of ideas? Is to praise something higher than merely to give thanks? By lift ing us more out of reference to our selves, and fixing the thoughts rather on the Giver than on his gifts, does it bring us more near to God? We have had rainy weather for several days past, but notwithstanding this, great crowds come into seethe Cotton Exposition; and in our opinion, their time and money are well spent. If Ingersoll were a witness against a man on trial before a court of justice, his evidence would not go for much before any jury. What is the value of his witness against God? Our brother,Rev. A. T. Spalding,with his family, left Atlanta, on Tuesday last, for their new home in Galveston, Texas. Our best wishes, and those of many friends, go with him. —Not one of the Methodist, Presby terian or Baptist missionaries in Brazil uses tobacco, though smoking is almost universal in that country. GLIMPSES AND HINTS. John Hemmenway, of Minneapo lis, Minn., an out-and-out Congrega tionalist, writes to Zion's Advocate : “As regards ‘close communion,’ the Baptists are beautifully consistent; and instead of suffering under the blame and slander and sneers that have from time immemorial fallen so heavily upon them from the Pedobaptists, they are justly entitled to the respect of the whole Christian world for their admira ble consistency of conduct as a body of Christ’s Church. Now, in the name of common sense, and in the higher name of Christianity, can the Baptists, when they sincerely and strongly be lieve, yea, more, fully believe without the shadow of a doubt, that immersion only is true baptism, and that baptism should always precede communion, consistently and righteously commune with those whom they regard as un baptized?” —The Baptists of North Carolina outnumber all other denominations in the State. Every fifth person west of the Blue Ridge is a Baptist. —The additional endowment of SIOO,OOO for Lewisburg University has been secured. Mr. Bucknell, of Phila delphia, who gave $50,000 of that sum, proposes to give $30,000 more, in the form of twenty competitive scholar ships of $1,500 each. Cannot Georgia Baptists come to the succor of Mercer, with something of this far-sighted and open-handed liberality? Would not this be in accordance with "the best spirit of the best churches in the best of times?” —Frances Power Cobbe, in her late work on “The Duties of Women,” says: “Cowardice is as base as lying and stealing.” Have we no cowardly Bap tists ? —A Home for Aged and Indigent Baptist Women was formally opened, at Washington, D. C., October 31st. —There are 350 Baptist churches, out of the 878 in the State of New York, that are not able to support pas tors serving them more than once or twice a month. —A few years ago, there were but three Baptist churches—two English and one German—in Cape Colony, South Africa. They formed a Union, and number now twenty-one churches and stations, with fourteen pastors and evangelists, and nearly one thousand members. —ln Wales there are 651 Baptist churches, with 414 ministers, 80,000 church members and 86,000 Sunday school scholars. —“Should the baptism of infants be taught as a duty, or as a privilege only?” asks Prof. Austin Phelps. We suggest that it should be taught in the pulpit precisely as it is taught in the Scriptures—that is, (according to the testimony of the best scholars, critics and exegetes among our opponents,) not at all! —Rev. W. M. Tulk, for thirty years a Cumberland Presbyterian minister, was baptized and ordained recently at Menaroville, Texas. —ln New York city and close by it, there are about a hundred Baptist churches, says a correspondent of the Central Baptist; and a correspondent of the National Baptist soys that nearly one-half of our ministry in that city has come over to us from other Chris tian denominations. \ —A Baptist Association in Missis sippi, which a few years ago gave five or six hundred dollars to missions, now giues well on to four thousand. Which of our Associations in Georgia has made equal progress? —ln the 182 Baptist churches of New Jersey, there were 1,176 baptisms last year, and benevolent contributions to the amount of $68,000, besides the payment of $50,000 of debt. —A man at Fort McKavit, Texas, deters his wife from being baptized by threatening to abandon her if she is. This ought to make baptism dear to her for a double reason, as therein she would not only obey Christ, but rid herself of a—wretch “unworthy of so rich a gem as woman’s priceless love.” —At the session of the Maryland Baptist Convention, 5,205 members were reported by 33 white, and 3,371 members by 12 colored churches. —Bishop Gross, the Jesuit bishop in Georgia, issued an order recently to the effect that no Romanist children can attend the public schools of Atlan ta without violating duty to their Church. As a consequence, (says a correspondent of the Cincinnati En quirer,) the present session of the schools opened with but few Romanist children, and most of these, it is said, will soon be withdrawn. This intro duces a new question into the city elections, probably, and trimmers and tricksters who want office will need watching. —The Southern Churchman thinks that “to keep out of the Episcopal ministry so many ministers from other denominations, would be doing a good work.” “As a general rule they are of no help.” “Rise to God,” is the ambitious phrase in certain schools of philosophi cal religious thought; as though the Father of Spirits were far away, beyond us and above us, and we must struggle toilsomely toward him out of our depths of guilt and nothingness. But “rest in God” is the refrain of Holy Scripture; for “in Him we live, and move, and have our being,” and there needs only the humble, loving, glad recognition of His presence, to give assurance that the very heigh ths of His fulness and grace are everywhere and every when around us. —Dr. Young J. Allen, superinten dent of the Southern Methodist mission in China, is preparing to open a college in Shanghai for the education of Chi nese youth. —There can be no true science or philosophy without the recognition of causes, both efficient and final. But efficient causes carry us backward to God, and final causes carry us forward to God. Science and philosophy, there fore, alike lead us to Him who is “the Alpha and the Omega,”—the Origin and the End of all things. Philo sophical atheism, and scientific athe ism, of course, are contradictions in terms. —Rev. Dr. Stuart Robinson left a bequest of $25,000, for the relief of invalid ministers of the Southern Pres byterian church, on condition that the General Assembly increase the amount to SIOO,OOO. This is only justice to the ministry, and simple fidelity to the mission of secular benefaction which binds the church as solemnly as the mission of spiritual benefaction. President Blyden, of the Liberia College, Africa, has ordered that the English language shall bo taught to none but the younger ’pupils in the preparatory department of that institu - tion. His reason is, that the English language tends indirectly to the degra dation of Negroes, as it teems with ideas and expressions utterly inconsistent with high self-respect on their part. If “the laughing philosopher” were living now, here would be an occasion of “side-splitting mirth” to him. —ln “Evenings with the Doctrines,” Dr. Nehemiah Adams, discussing the divine authority of the Scriptures, says : “It is as impossible to give an unre generate man a clear conception of inspiration, as it is of the deity of the Lord Jesus. He must have experience, in order .to appreciate the very highest kinds of evidence pertaining to both of these truths. He will be apt to cavil till he has it; and when his experience ifflskes these things real to him, he will find himself demanding them as neces sary to his spiritual life, and no argu ments will be able to disprove them ; for they will have become identified with his spiritual consciousness.” JAMES W. FURLOW. An intimate acquaintance with this gentleman of forty years and upwards warrants me in giving some reminis cences of his life and character. The first time I remembqr to have met him was on the occasion of his marriage with Miss Louisa Bivins, of Jones county, whom I had baptized when a school-girl in Clinton. From that happy evening until his death the most cordial friendship existed between us, and whenever I went in reach of him his house was my home. I knew him well in his family, and I can testify that a more devoted and affectionate husband and father never lived. Louisa was a most lovely character, and all the world to him. I have never known a woman of sweeter disposition, nor of a more devout and consistent Chris tian spirit. There was only one draw back to her happiness—her husband was not a Christian; but her prayers and pious example overcame this ob stacle and constrained him to “turn his feet to the testimonies of the Lord.” About twenty five years ago the writer had been down to Albany,where he learned that a gracious revival was prevailing in the Americus church, then under the pastoral care of Rev. H. C. Hornady. Understanding that he was being assisted by Dr. Teasdale, I concluded to stop over on my return and hear him. As it was late when the train arrived, I went to the hotel for supper. I noticed that “the meet ing” was the sole subject of conversa tion among the boarders, and that special importance was attached to the fact that James Furlow was among the converts. It was agreed on all hands that he was not a man who could be carried away by excitement, but that he was sincere and earnest in his profession, thus evincing the confi dence the people had in the man. Repairing to the church and finding it already full, I succeeded in getting a seat near the door. Furlow’s wife soon discoveredgme, and I had to go up and sit with them, and then go home with them and spend the night. And then at their earnest solicitation I had to remain at the meeting until the following Sabbath and baptize Furlow. (Os course this was done with the hearty concurrence of the pastor.) Not many years elapsed when his wife, Louisa, was taken with an incur able malady, from which she suffered many months before passing away. It was my privilege (accompanied by my wife) to visit her only a few days pre vious to her death. I found her re signed and happy, and even anxious to depart, but for the pain of leaving her husband and children. Those were happy days when James Furlow and his brother lived on oppo site sides of the street and near neigh bors, and with their lovely wives, Mar garet and Louisa, adorned society, apd brought up their children in credit and in the fear of God.— J. H. Campbell in Americus Recorder. GEORGIA BAPTIST NEWS. —The Baptist revival at Perry continues. —Rev. A. I. Hartley’s hand was amputsH ted in Augusta last week. He had long been a sufferer from cancer. —Sandersville Herald : The Riddleville Baptist church has a baptistery under the pulpit. The pastor, Rev. J. J- Hyman, bap tized a few days ago four persons, all young. —Rev. E R Carswell has been called to the pastorate of Sweet Watfr church Mc- Duffie county, Rev. Thomas Pilcher, having declined to serve. —Sylvania Telephone: On Sunday the 13th inst., Rev. H. J. Arnett baptized the entire family of Mr J H. Smith, of this county, consisting of father, who is a wid ower, two sons and two daughters. The children were all grown up and of full age, and unmarried. —Sandersville Mercury: Rev. T. J. Adams, pastor of the Baptist church in the city tendered his resignation on Sunday, to the great regret of the congregation and his many friends. Mr. Adams, we understand, is about to leave Georgia and with his family remove to Texas, where his son is now loca ted as a physician successfully practicing his profession. He has our best wishes. —Swainesboro Herald : We are glad to know that Mercer University is “booming.” Send your sons to this time-honored insti tution. S. P. Sandford, whose immortal works on mathematics will render his name dear to coming generations, is there to im part instruction to yodng men. Drs. Bat tle, Brantley, Willet and Steed,—a corps of professors second to none in our proud old State, and whom the South should delight to honor, —still occupy their respective chairs in Mercer. —Sandersville Herald: Rev. T. J. Adams the pastor of the Baptist church at this place, tendered his resignation on Sunday last. This was done this time in view of his probable removal to the West at an early day, and his unwillingness to embarrass the actionofthe church in the calling of a successor. Such is the attachment of the church and of the community to Mr. Adams, so great is their confider.ceiti him as a faithful,earnest minis ter of the Gospel, that bis continuance here seems to be universally desired. —Sparta Ishmaelite: The Washington Baptist Association is composed of twenty five churche), representing a membership of 2,330 Hancock contributes eleven churches, with a total membership of 977. Washing ton has nine churches, with a total mem bership of 1,005. Baldwin has twochu-ches, with a total membership of 128. Glasscock lias one church, with a membership of 100. Warren has one church, with a membership of 81. Greene has one church, with a mems bership of 39. Sparta has the smallest membership of any church in the Associa tion—only 20 members. —The Savannah News says: The follow ing from the Macon Telegraph, concerning Dr. Sylvanus Landrum, will be of interest to his many friends in this city, where he is so well and popularly known: “It will be a source of regret to many of our citizens that Dr. S. Landrum, financial secretary and theological lecturer of Mercer University, has resigned his position, to take effect the Ist of December. He has accepted the position of pastor of the largest Baptist church in New Orleans, and of general miss sionary superintendent of the Home Board of the Southern Baptist Convention for that city and seclion. His will be a very respon sible and useful position, and allows him to labor in the field most congenial to his dis position—the pastorate. Still his native State and Mercer University will feel his loss and regret his departure. Macon society will greatly miss the presence of Dr. Lan drum and his accomplished lady.” —Milledgeville Herald : The distinguish ed divine, Dr. S. Landrum, spent Saturday, Sunday and Monday in our city, in the in terest of that grand old institution,which has done so much for education, Mercer, which has been fortunate indeed in securing the services of so able a man to place her claims before the Baptists of the South. At eleven o'clock Sunday morning Dr. Landrum preached a most able and interesting sermon on the suoject of “Christian Education.” He also preached on Sunday night and Monday night. We were prevented by other engagements from hearing him until Monday night, when he gave us a grand sermon on the transfiguration of Christ. So vivid was this glorious scene pictured in words that it will be but necessary for us to cast the mind's eye backward, and take it all in at a glance. And then the many beauti ful impressive lessons with which the grand picture was so fitly accompanied, must surely be productive of much good. We regret that we were not prepared to report the semon and give it to our readers in full. We hope Dr. Landrum will visit our city often er.
