Itt Kia lUfUraU, QLU. £itcrarit» Light and Life of Men.—We commend this -excellent Book to all in need of a good commentary on John. It is an exposition of John from Chapter Ito chapter XII. The work is admirably written by Ilev. F. B. Meyer, of London, and will amply pay perusal. In it the author has attempted to present some of the unsearchable wealth of the Gospel of the Divine Life of Jesus, and he commends it to the people of God with the desire that it may bo used by the Divine Spirit to bring them into a deeper Knowledge of life, light and love, as they are in Jesus Christ, our Lord. This excellent book has just been issued from the press of the Fleming H. Kevell Co., Chicago and New York. The book is cheap enough at the price, iI.OO. Mr. J. C. Hemphill, editor of the Charleston, (S. C.) News and Courier, will contribute to the May number of The Forum, an article on the action of the Southern Democratic Repre sentatives in Congress for the free silver bill. He undertakes to show that the vote of the majority of Southern congressmen does not fairly represent. Southern sentiment: that they have substituted expediency for sound Democratic principle, ami that the tendency of ]>olitics in the “New South” is a travesty on the states manship of former days. Mr. Hemp hill further points out the great finan cial loss that would fall upon the South, particularly upon the pro ducers of cotton who are consumers of manufactured and imported good*, if any free silver bill were to become a law. It is an article that is sure to provoke discussion in all the South ern States. Among other articles in the May Forum will be “Ten Years of the Standard Oil Trust-,” by S. C. T. Dodd, Solicitor of the Trust; “Incalculable Room for Immigrants,” especially in the South, by Edward Atkinson; and a dozen other timely discussions. Sherwood’s Memoirs.—The edi tor of the Index begs leave to call attention to this interesting volume. Dr. Sherwood was a prominent figure among Baptist preachers and Bap tist workers for many years. His name is linked with Baptist history in Georgia from .1818 almost to the day of his death. The life of such a man is full of instruction. His memoirs was written by his daughter, assisted by Rev. S. Boykin, D. D« Orders for the book will be taken by the editor of the Index, to be filled during Southern Baptist Convention. Price 81.25. No one who buys the book and reads it will regret the in vestment. The pulpit occupies a unique posi tion in current literature. There never was a time when good preach ers were in such demand, and the interchange' of sermonic thought is calculated to Improve the general tenor of pulpit utterances. The April issue contains twelve complete sermons by such well-known preach ers as Bishop Coxe, Mark Guy Pearse, J no. McNeill, Thomas Dixon, Dr. C. L. Thompson, Prof. Davidson, the late Canon Liddon and others. The magazine is true to its title and purpose, which is a great recommen dation. $2.00 a year.. 20 cents a copy. Edwin Rose, Publisher, Buffalo, N. Y. After the Grip And after typhoid fever, diphtheria’ pneumonia, or other prostrating dis eases, Hood's Sarsaparilla is just what is needed to restore the strength and vigor so much desired, and to expel all poison from the blood. It has had wonderful success in many such cases. Hood's Pills act especially upon the liver, rousing it from torpidity to its natural duties cures constipation and assist digestion. Flying Machines.—Mr. Hiram Maxim is building an apparatus for aerial navigation. He believes that he has sufficient power in this new apparatus for the purposes of flight. He believes, too, that his arrange ments for causing the machine to keep in the proper place so that it will move straight in the air, are suc cessfully devised. “It may how ever,” he says, “ be that the size may be the main difficulty,’’—his machine being larger than any ever yet made. It is to be hoped that some day some simple l device will be found, if flying be desirable, as simple and as effec tive as the whigs of a bird. Surely the true child of God has found wings for his soul, so that he can “mount up with wings as eagles do,” soaring higher, higher, with unbeat ing wing, ascending into the advanc ing light. ’ S.

THE MEBOEB TROUBLE. The daily press last week published several statements about the trouble with the Sophomore class at Mercer University. Dr. Nunnally gives this authoritative version of the mat ter: The president was absent at the convention and Professor O’Kelly, who has the chair of Greek, also at tended the Baptist convention at LaGrange, and during his absence it was agreed that his classes would be met by other professors, each assign ing lessons to the classes, not in Greek, but in his own department, Professor Steed taking certain hours and as signing extra lessons in Latin, Dr. Brantly certain hours and extra les sons in English, Professor Ryals cer tain hours and extra lessons in mathe matics. The classes assigned to Dr. Brantly and Professor Steed respond ed promptly and met the provisional requirements. The sophomore class— with the exception of a few—refused to meet Professor Ryals and entered into a written agreement not to make the recitations under Professor Ry als. For this insubordination and conspiracy these students were sus pended for one week. The class ap pointed a committee to wait upon the faculty with an explanation,' which they hoped would secure their relief, but the committee in explaining and defending the class made the matter worse and the faculty believing that the committee voiced the sentiments of the class thought it necessary to increase the penalty,' and therefore suspended them for the balance of the term, 6r until each student for himself should make satisfactory ac knowledgement. A day or so pass ed, when the committee disclaimed any wrong intention hi this obnoxious explanation and asked the privilege to withdraw their strifement, which had been offensive to the faculty, and which has resrdteti’in an increase of the pendlty. Thatneing done, the students were as at the first, under suspension for one week. The action taken “by the other classes toudling the rithtter was very considerat6"and respectful sustaining the facultyin taking serious notice of the offense ahd in punishing the of fenders. But this resolution did not reach the faculty until final action was taken arid iu no tvise influenced the faculty ih* ther# disposition of the case. fully appreci ate the kindly offline ;sn<l co-operation of these clashes in hdj'nsting the diffi culty in the best interests of the stu dents of the institution. Gi Al Nunnally. GEOEGJA KEMJMISOENOES. Elder Jacob Walker, Pastor of Springfield AGunfc Church, Au gusta, G«., fori aftsnit thirty to thirty-fivq yeay&i i. This remarkable ii<««ro in the days of slavery, had, by the children of Col. Walker, to whom he belonged, been taught to read; an acquirement which was contrary (to law at that time. Having boon 1 taught by the Spirit and “called of God as was Aaron,” he possessed l in an eminent degree, those gifts which characterize one holding “tho office of a bishop” delineated; in 1 Tom. 3: 2,8, 4,7. He was examined for ordination aj the request of his church, by the elder, Dr. W. T. Brantly, Drs. Adiel Sherwood, James Shahnon, Jesse Mercer and Abraham Marshall, as council, who ratified the action of the church “by the laying on of the hands of the presbylery.” t No minister in the city ten joyed the confidence of all classes, or was held in higher estimation for consis tency of life and consecration to his work than was “Uncle Jacob,”'ns he was commonly called by all the younger or middle aged citizens, during the forties, when I made his acquaintance. lie had a broad, benevolent look ing face, large, well formed head, with high forehead, thinly covered with hair, white as wool, —for he was a full blooded negro, being in 1840 about sixty-live or seventy years old. Being a slave, his church which numbered about sixteen to eighteen hundred, raised a fund and bought him from his mistress, Mrs. Walker, w ithout his knowledge. When noti fied by a committee of this transac tion he was ratlicr nonplussed. An nouncing that he desired every one who contributed to the fund to meet at the church tho following night l Their honored pastor thus addressed them: “ Brethren, I appreciate your intended kindness, but it is about such kindness as a tamed bear once showed towards his master of whom he was very fond. While tho master lay asleep under his bower in the garden, the bear saw a fly crawling over his face, and to scare it off, he threw a pumpkin weighing twenty pounds at it, which damaged his face severely. Now, I have this to say, if this trade is not cancelled before the sun goes down to-morrow, I will never raise my voice in this house again. You are slaves, so am I, and I can see a mercy in that Providence which brought our race here from heathen lands to hear the gospel and enjoy ‘the glorious liberty of the sons Os God.’ ‘lf the Son make you free you shall be free indeed.’ I. rarely ever saw a free negro that was of any account.” The trade became null and void This church belonged to the Hephzi bah Association and Uncle Jacob AValker, with his five or six messen gers, never failed to attend the ses sions of that body. On one occasion the Association met at Bark Camp, in Burke County. The younger Dr, AV. T. Brantly, pastor of Green street church in Augusta and other messen gers from that church attended, also Uncle Jacob and his delegation. A wealthy planter living five or six miles from the church, whose wife was an active member, invited Dr. Brantly to his house, saying he could entertain thirty or forty if necessary. Dr. Brantly remarked, “AA T ell, Col. if you have no objection I will have the negro messengers to go also.” “Certainly,” said the hospitable Colonel. On arriving at his home this noble gentleman, a true type of Southern planters before the war. said to his coachman, “This is Jacob AValker, the black piaster from Au gusta. Do you see now that he and all his company are well cared for and have everything need for them selves and their horses.” There were probably twenty to twenty-five guests present to partake of the magnificent hospitality of Col. among whom were several minis ters. Being too far to return to the church for preaching at night, as was the custom, services were to be held iu the parlor. Several present had never heard this old man of God, and it was agreed that he preach. At the appointed hour Dr. Brantly invited him in and introduced him to the audience. AVith characteristic humility he walked up to the large, elegant family Bible, lying on a rich marble-topped center table, and re marked, —“Brethren, while I shall try to perform tlie duty you have im posed on me, I assure you I feel very empty.” At that juncture, the hospi table host who knew more about politics and agriculture than about the work of the Spirit, sprang to his feet and said with much feeling, “It is astonishing that my orders have not been obeyed! Hold on, old man, I’ll see that you have something to eat.” Dr. B. caught his friend by the arm and said, “Stop Col., he does not allude to any food you can give.” In a tone of mortification the Col. said, “I ask your pardon, friends, I ask your pardon.” The text used was “Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which endures unto everlasting life, etc., John 6 : 27. Listening to the touching portray al of that wisdom which is from above, contrasted with those “things which perish with the using,” that noble man’s heart was opened by the Lord, as was that of Lydia, Acts 16: 14. He attended to the things spoken” by the old servant, and soon after was baptized, becoming an active and useful member of the church. “It pleased God by the foolishness of preaching, to save them that believe.” J. T. S. Park. San Antonio, Texas.
