constitute us heretics, I think but
few of us would escape. The apos
tles could not have stood this
rigid test. At one time Paul with
stood Peter to the face, because
he was to be blamed for what h»
had done through weakness. But
be did not cry put the first time
gainst Peter as a heretic.
But supposing that some are in
realty heretical, the churches, and
not the associations, are the ones
to deal with them. And if the
cjflrch where the heretical mem
ber belongs will not deal with’him
no sister church should complain
till she has labored with said
church to gopher to deal with her
disorderly member, and when this
is done in the right spirit, other sis
ter churches will join in with them
and so scon as all the churches con
nected with the matter are known
to be Agreed, then the churches
may publish through their
minutes what they have done.
Any hastier action than this will
L result in confusion. But some may
SU say, “The disorder is too far off
Mmd in another association.” Very
MI, if it is too far off to labor with

Dear Brethren ■ —Your paper
came several nights ago, and wo
gladly welcomed the new visitor,
out upon reading its well written
pages, richly laden with heavenly
truths, we felt as though we had
met old friends. I will be candid
in saying my first impression were.
“I would love to subscribe for it
but cannot, for I am taking five
and the years soon roll around
and I am always in trouble till I
pay for my papers. The more I
think upon discarding it, the less
I feel like I can do so, and happy
in the promise, “The Lord will pro
vide.” He has never left me com
fortless, “though oft from His
presence in sadness I roam.” He
comes to me, oft in the silent
night, and bids me, “Be still and
know that I am God.”
‘Yet when 1 turn my eyes within,
All is vain dark and wild;
Filled with unbelief and sin,
Can I deem myself a-child?”
and with the sweet Psalmist
I exclaim, “What is man
that thou art mindful of him?
And the son of man, that thou
visitest him?” I feel my sinful
weakness Kbd believe
with John “a man can receive
nothing except it be given him
from Heaven. Learning from
your teaching, and sweet words of
exhortation and comfort that you
have been with Jesus, and have
learned of Him, I love you for
his sake, and pray that yon may
be established in every good word
and work, and that there bo “no
schisms” in your paper. Would
that our many ably edited papers
had a -general circulation, tor
surely there is no subject less un
derstood than the plan of salva
tion by grace, and grace alone.
“The Old BantistTest” is a grand
book, and I am pleased to see you
purpose giving extracts from time
to time from it. My precious
papa, Eld. Wm. C. Lauck who
fell asleep in Jesus 20 years, ago
Feb,6th,loved both brother Watson,
and his book, and gave it to me,
his baby. I notice that he has
turned down the leaves at’3C,32 And
190. He was not unmindful cf his
duty to exhort to practical God
liness. 1 never tire reading such
exhortation (unfortunately I can
not hear them.) I verily belieye,
we as a church, and the only true
church of Christ bold the doctrine
of the Bible, but in many in
stances are deficient in caring for,
or in other words, supporting our
dear ministers, and looking after
the necesities of our poor. Christ
says, “Let your lights© shine be
fore men, that they may see your
good works, * a’nd glorify your
Father .Heaven.” St.
Mat. 5; not up for your
selves treasures upon earth, where
moth arid rust doth corrupt, and
where/thieves break through and
steal-; but lay up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where neither
moth nor rust doth corrupt, and
iTwh gh
b nor steal. -For where your
'treasure is; there will your heart
be also.” St. Mat. vi; 19, 20 and
T>.,± --.1- H L T ‘ ,3
21. But seek ye first the kingdom
of God, and His righteousness
and all these things shall be add
ed unto you.” St. Mat. vi; 23.
Dear brethren, if each one of us
who are still monuments of our
loving Savior’s forbearance and
tender mercies would carry these
plain, all sufficient admonitions in
our hearts, and live by them
every day, we would be a happier,
more devoted people. Don’t you
think so? A word to dear brother
Ingram, whose article touched
my heart in deep sympathy. Out
of ten precious children, we have
had five called to their Heavenly
home, and as the breath left each
darling little body it caused me to
feel my sinfulness so keenly, the
stroke almost crushed me, and
were it not for the everlasting
arms underneath you and I and
all who know the exceeding sin
fullness of self, and the tenderest
fountains of our natures choked
with the bitter tears of loss, we
would never rise above it. But
let us be submissive; the cause
will be known bye and bve, our
good and God’s glory made mani
fest. Let us praise Him for
having known this holy affliction,
and for having these treasures in
Heaven. Our baby is there too.
May all of us meet around the
throne of God, and join in ascrib
ing all the praise of our redemp
tion to “Jesus who hath done all
things well.”
Your unworthy sister,
Lucy G. Burmback.
P. S. —Enclosed please find
SI.OO for your excellent paper. I
am well pleased with it.
G. &
Elder A. V. Simms.
Beloved Brother In Christ.
I will make another attempt to
write something of my little hope,
though it is with much fear and
trembling that I make the at
tempt 1 have had a desire to write
ever since I united with the church,
as I could say but very little then.
I am the oldest daughter of M*.
and Mrs James W. Parrish. My
father is the oldest son of Elder
Ansel Parrish, now deceased.
When I was about eleven years
old one day I was sitting out on
the iront porch, rocking my little,
brother, when something seemed
to tell mo that I was going to die,
and that I was not prepared to
meet my little brother in heaven
who had died when I was small.
The family was all absent from
home, and so terrible was my con
victions for sin that I did not feel
like 1 could live to sec re
turn. As I sat rocking my little
brother the big (ears rolled down
my cheeks. I could not feel like
the Lord would suffer such a sin
ner as 1 was to live. A few days
later 1 was prostrated with rhv-u
--matism, and remained in bed for
twelve long months. Daring all
this long time I could not dt up
1 but very little, and could not
! walk at all. I craved to die and
1 be free from pain; but no, I was
. not lit to die. My sufferings, both
physical and mental can better be
. imagined than described. I at
last recovered from my sickness,
and my health was good for
awhile. I tried hard to forget all
" my troubles and throw it all away
’ and enjoy the world as I had
• formerly done. I went to a few
. parties, and took part in them,
and would sometimes enjoy them
, very well; but at other times
I there'would come such an awful
dteau over me that 1 would
1 promise rayself that I woulunever
3 attend another. Again I would
■ t hink. Why not go on and enjoy
I the world whih I
i will l - time
[• this matter when I an/Tblder.
t These thoughts would /ometime
j do fo r awhile, but sqoir I would
find mvself mourning and griev-
1 ing over a misspent life.
’ In October 1885 I was again
prostruf 1 and laid very low with
a severe fever. I lay and suffered
i for three months. The physician
and family and all my friends
despaired of my life, but while
in this condition an impression
came over me, almost as iff some
one had spoken the words; “They
need not weep, you will not die this
time. “I sank into an unconcious
state and retrained so for more
than a week. After my recovery I
again tried to conceal my troubles
from every-one,but never did visit
another party after this. I seemed
to be cut loose from the enjoyment
of such things. The sins of the past
arose like mountains before me.
My health began to fail again in
1886 and I was terribly afflicted
with rheumatism. My ' sufferings
were almost more than I could
bear. Ir is hard to tell was
worse, my mental or physic Jksulf
erings. Many times I rememtier
lying upon my bed at night while
all the family was sweetly resting
and my pillow would be wet with
tears, and in a suppressed tone of
voice I would cry unto the Lord for
mercy. But even my prayers were
not right some-way, for I felt liko i 1
could not be forgiven. The reading
of the bible only gave me hope fdr f
others, none for myself. I read a
great deal for three years, when I
became so badly afflicted with
rheumatism I could not raise tl|e
bible from my pillow, and I was,
a poor helpless sinner in deed
helpless both temporally ai®
spiritually. In January 1890 *[
grew so much worse tbgfet tlfe
physician told my bereaved
father that he had exausted his
skill, and that 1 could not live, and
in this I fully concurcd witfi him.
I told some of the family tjiat ,1
wanted to see Elder Charleyl Stal
lings before I died, and the/ sent
for him. When lie came I was
so low that I could not raise 1113
hand or talk above a whisper.
But I tried to talk with him
a little. I was so sure I was go
ing to die, that I kissed my
brothers and sisters good-bye; and
as I raised my eyes to take as I
thought the last fond look at my
dear father and mother who was
bending over my feeble form to
catch my dying words, it seemed
that I saw these words written be
fore me, “be of good cheer.” From
that time my uneasiness was
gone, but where, or how I could
not tell. I felt that God had par
doned my sins and Jesus was my
friend. Next morning everything
appeared beautiful to me, and I
think it was the sweetest day of
my life. I could now say with
David “it was good for me that I
was afflicted, for before I was
afflicted I went astray.”
I now prayed to get well enough
to be able to go to meeting, and
ask fer a home among tho dear
Old Baptists, whom 1 now loved
above every earthly tie. As the
meeting days would come I would
lie on my bed and cry as I could
hear tho church members passing
our home. But cuuld they re
ceive me? Oh! I feared not, I
spent a great deal of my time
doubting the realities of what I
had experienced. I saw greatly to
my sorrow that I was still a sinner
and could not claim membership
with the church upon merits of
my own. I could not wait until 1
got well before I went to meeting
my father would take me in his
arms like a little child, and put
me in the buggy and carry me
when the weather was good.
How happy did the brethren and
sisters , seem when they would
meet on their re gular meeting
days: I felt like if I offered and
was rejected I could not live and
bear it, ana- yet I could not con
tent myself to stay away from
A4 length, on the 16th of
HdsZry it, and to my surprise they
received me, and I was baptized
two months later by the pastor
Elder William Tomlinson. My
health was still very poor but I
i did not now grieve about, as in
i my baptism I found great relief
[ for my burdened soul- But I did
i not rest long here, for I soon be
; gan to feel that I had deceived the
i be'st people on earth. The day I
joined them I could not say but
very little, and this has troubled
me.
I now feel grateful to God that
he has given me such friends. I
shall never forget the kindness
of that d<'ar sister, Fannie Shu
man, who assisted me in getting to
the moderator’s seat th'e day I
joined. She was so kind and tender,
and was such a great comfort to
me that day, I can never forget
her.
I am now settled for this life if
the dear children of God can only
bear with me, and allow me to sit
at their feet.
Dear Brother Simms do as you
think best with this, and kindly
remember me at a throne of
grace.
Your afflicted Sister.
