• True, it might he argued that ]
Phillip received the eunuch (
“in the absence of the
church,” but the question would '
still remain, Are all our preachers
Phillipa. It might however, be
right is certain peculiar cases for
him to do so.
For instance, we will say a cer
tain humble and devoted preacher
is traveling in a country where
there is no church, and finding
one who gives evidence of regen
eration and ask for baptism at his
hands, we think to comply with
such requests would be doing a
good work—one that Would receive
the approval of the Spirit. Nor
do we think any of our churches
would reject such an one thus re
ceived, but receive him gladly.
But for a preacher to bold a
meeting “in the absence of the
church” where the churches are
thickiy located, and receive and
baptize members would be wrong.
But suppose a preacher holds a
meeting “at a friend’s house” and
three or tour .or a dozen members
are there and take the responsibil
ity u)Mjn themselves to act for the
ehurchj and receive a mexnber for
church, what then?. Could
bdm brother offer any legal objec
■ proceedings? ' We
of such cases. We are now think
ing of a case where a pastor or a
certain church hel<d a meeting at
night at the home of an afflicted
sister—with a majority of the
members being present, and in
conclusion of the meeting the pata
tor gave an opportunity for mem
bers and received eight for bap
tism. Was there any wrcng in
this? Strange to say that some
good brethren have made some
complaint about it! While many
were filled with joy on hearing
the good news, others were afraid
it was “too much like the Mission
aries.” Some brethren seem to
think that there is but one time
in every month when members
should be received, and that is on
Saturday about one o’clock of
each monthly meeting. Some
have even ccaiplained against giv
ing an opportunity for members
on Sunday of the regular meeting
when the whole church was pres
ent.
If such brethren were allowed to
govern, or rule in this matter, we
do not see how the Lord could “add
to th-* church daily such as should
be saved,” as ir. earlier days. There
seemti to bo uo way of keeping
some brethren from grumb
ling and finding fault. It
seems to be chronic with them.
It is a bad spirit—a bad disease
to be thus affected, and a brother
is in a dangerous condition 'when
he himself as being right on
everything, and everybody else,
wrong. He is, at such times un
der the control -of the flesh. The
spirit teaches us to see out pwn
iabltSi But these fault-finders
ard not td fee dreAded muchi They
grumble and growl So much till

and nobody pays any attention #

UNION MEETING.
Dear Brother Simms.—Will you
piense insert the following notice t
in the Banebr a few times or as
often as you think necessary.
Behfg authorized by the breth
ren of Atlanta, Ga., to appoint a
time for a Union meeting to be •
held during the Exposition now •
going on; not in connection with (
the fair in any way, but tor the |
benefit of cheap rates during that i
time, and as many of the Primi- '
tive Baptists will visit Atlanta
then, we thought that if a time was ,
set for a meeting many would at- .
tend then. I will set the time the
for the first Thursday in Decem
ber.
I wisji also to say that as most
of the brethren in Atlanta are (
poor in this world’s goods, that all
attending the meeting must go
prepared t > take care of themselves
as the brethren there will not be
able to care for them. I think
this necessary to be understood
before hand.
Brethren and sisters come to the
meeting. Yours in Christian fel
lowship. John Downey.
Wenona, 111., Oct. 1, 1895.
The Primitive Baptist church at
Ft. Worth hold her r*guhr meet
ing embracing fourth in Septem
ber- On Saturday a> opportuni
ty was given for members. wu-u
Br<>. W. A. Porter and his wife,
Sister Porter, presented a letter
from Blooming Grove church in
Denton county; and Bro. Porte r
stated that he considered Bloom
ing Grove t hurch in disorder in
having restored Elder McKelvey
to membership when the church
where he was excluded would not,
(witch was Harbor church Tenn.)
ami he also stated (hat the church
was boldin ' members who affirm
ed “Absolute predestination of all
things whatsoever come to pass,”
which doctrine he could not b«-
statement, and
showing there w’ere no charges
against him, he and Sister Porter
were received as members of the
church. And, I say to all, who do
not fellowship such disorders to
come out from them. H.

MISS LERIE DASHER
We ate again reminded of the un
certainty of life, by the death of Miss
Lerie Dasher, whose demise took p: ace
Sept. 18th 1895.—She was the eldest
child of Mr. aud Mrs. Lewis Dasher.
Only in her seventeenth year just
entering the threshold of lovely wom
anhood, with a promising life before
her, she was attacked by that fright
ful malady, erysipelas, and notwith
standing every effort that could be
made by friends and physicians, after
a few days illness, hersoul winged its
flight to that citj celestial.—She was
a kind and obedient daughter; an in
tellectually bright, an studious scholar
and a loveable associate. To know her
was to love her, and with those who
knew her she was inmenseiy popular
She was a rare combination of beaut;,',
tenderness, truth, modesty and virtue,
and while her life with us was so short
it was as beautiful as the flowers of the
field, and it teaches us a Lsson, that
will not, like them fade away and die.
And while we mourn her death from
our midst—School and home, we feel
she is at rest, and departing, leavs
to her family the richest of all inheri
tance, a spotless reputation—dec ora*-- }
ed with a crown of g’ory, the reward (
of virtues, which adorned her pure liu i
here. She await* us beyond the grave.
Mr-.y God help us so to live as to be otr
mi ted to join her in thac haven of
rest, where the love and friends L-p
which united us here .nay be
revived and intensified through all
eternity.

MRS. SARAH MOSELY. ;
Died at her home at 10 oclock Friday
night July *l2, 1893 aged twenty-one
years, nine months and twodajs.
She was the kind and loving wife
of William Moseley, and oldest daugh
ter of Mr & Mrs Wash Wrenn. Leaves
a husband and two children, father and
mother, five brothers and
besides a host of other relatives an|
friends to mourn her death. She and
her husband lived happily ’together
until her blessed Master called her
home. She lived a devoted Christian
the last six months of her life. The day
befoie she died she called her little
brother to her bedside and told him
to be a good bo\ and meet her in heav
en, “for,” said she “the gates will soon
open so me, * she then asked her hus
band if he would go with her to her
“beautiful home,” All that medical slfil
and kind parents and loving hiisbaud
could do was done, but airs! the hahd
of death could not be staid.
Ths light has gone out of that home,
oh how dark it must be without a
mother aodwife! but God knows best
and does all thingswell and he will
watch over and protect those lovely
litt e children.
We believe she is now safe in the
arms of Jesus, and may the blessed
Lord comfort the bereaved ones with
th’S thought. She sang “Jesus lover
Ci - :nv s v!i”in her last illness, and told
1 ?.ro. nd her bed that she hesrd
tsinging, and then she offer
e:> ab» otiful prayer, and sang “On
J crdair -t ormy banks T stand’
Dear .->rah was laid to rest at Little
1 lock oi’orch to await the resurrection
morn, when we believe she will re
e - ; ve th.it robe and crown which on
l the righteous Judge can giye. May
G d be with the bereaved ones is my
prayer.
Dear luved one, God has called Ker,
From the home she lefved so well.
From a land of sin and sorrow, .
f o a happy home above.
Called to cross death’s gloomy river,
But did not cross alone,
Jesus gently leads her over i
To his bright celestial throne/
Do not think of her as lying JkA
h w I;
And would fill, yourj heart with gboifi. 4

Tijnk of her as she lived with you
At the home you love so well, • |
Sharing with you every pleasure
Every sorrow too, as well.
