Churches are the i proper ones to ait in judgment bn aachcaaeß.,Minißterß or Elder* havp no jurisdiction over the church- I •a whatever, neitherjn receiving qr ’ dismissing members; and when he of his own accord, assumes such ; authority he abuses his office, and i violates thejjpirit of the Scriptures 1 and the long, and well establish- < ad rule ot the church. 1 • 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 soon everybody learne that they J are just built that way*—that he is , afflicted with that kind of disease and nobody pays any attention # to him. 1 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.

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. Her Teacher, J. T. W. Easterling, Ga, Sept. 29 1895. Portal Ga.. Sept 29 1895. Dear Brother Simms. Please allow space in the Banner for the obituary notice of my two. daughters, Beatice •and Susie.

Temples. 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 I 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. ’! ‘ I You too life’s rough hills are climb ing Soon the summit you shall see', One by one he then shall c<* 11 vou To the blessed eternity.
