ITALY'S NEED—THE OKOSB, NOT
THE OBUOIFIX.
BY F. M.ELLIB, D. D.» IN TEACHER.
Os New Italy it may be said, in
terms of the Psalmist: “Unto the
upright there ariseth light in the
darkness.” Our three faithful lead
ers, aided by their nearly twoscore
fellow-laborers, are kindling this
light at nearly 100 points m Italy.
Froni our nearly 20 churches streams
of influence are going forth that are
helping to lift up this historic, priest
ridden, church-enslaved land from
the degradation of the crucifix up
into the freedom of the cross. In
our churches 350 witnesses are giv
ing the testimony of their renewed
lives to the transforming power of
the gospel of Christ. If these wit
nesses are not multiplying as rapid
ly as we would wish, let us thank
God for this hopeful and permanent
growth. It has been only a little
more than twenty years since the
Italian Missions of our Convention
Board began this work, which, from
the outset, has been beset with diffi
culties. To rightly estimate the suc
cess so far gained, account must be
had of the almost insuperable obsta
cle that have had to be overcome.
When this is duly considered, the
- fact that there are more than 400
evangelical missionaries in Italy, who
have gathered into their churches
upward of 60,000 converts, who are
as true as the Bereans, is simply an
inspiration to the friends of Missions
in papal lands. The awakened in
terest in God’s w’ord, so long shut
out of this papal empire, is one of
the most hopeful of the many en
couraging aspects of Italy’s splendid
, future.
The papal temporal power has not
only been supplanted by united, free
Italy, endowed by the liberty of
speech, but the influence of popular
education is molding public opinion
most favorably to evangelical teach
ing. The success of our mission
work will depend in the future, as it
has done in the past, on an heroic
faith and a tireless patience, support
ed by a like zeal and courage. The
truths taught by our brethren in It
aly are reaching thousands who do
not • seek our church-fellowship.
Hence we cannot estimate the ex
tent of our influence by the number
of our church membership.
From cathedral to altar-cloth Ro
manism is imposing and impressive.
Think of piling up in a single struct
ure, as that of St. Peter’s {50,000,
000, and of expending annually S4O,
000 to keep it repaired! Rome is
ornamented with 350 churches,
most of them magnificent structures,
and decorated within at the cost of
millions of money. Italy is covered
with churches and filled with shrines.
All of this training of centuries is,
of course ( away from simple forms
of worship and humble, inexpensive
chapels, especially from uninviting
halls and unattractive rooms, hidden
away in the second and third sto
ries of gloomy buildings. For years
our work in Milan, Venice, Bologna,
Modena, Carpi, Bari, Barletta, Cag
liari, and other places has suffered
for the lack of suitable places of
worship. Renting any place we can
get is a wretched policy; we ought
to build. Chapels attractive and
conveniently located is the crying
need of our Italian work.
If this people nre led from Ro
manism, assurances must be given
them that they will be cared for. A
temporary hall that may not be kept
any longer than our enemies will al
low’ is a poor guarantee of perma
nency; whereas a chapel would be
an assurance to them of permanency.
Such places must be provided for
the Italians, because they are not
able to provide them themselves.
When one remembers that pre
vious to 1870 a Romanist dared
not become a Protestant, that
even a Protestant could not wor
ship in Romo or oven bring his
Bible within her walla, is it not
wonderful what God has wrought?
On the 20th day of September, 1870
the dial hands of God’s purpose
marked for Italy her enfranchise
ment. That dogcart of Bibles that
brought up the rear of Victor Em
manuel’s victorious army as it enter
ed Rome through her shattered
walls was the herald of Italy's re
demption. The Bible is God’s lever
under Italy; as it lifts up Italy it
must overthrow the papacy. God
speed the day!
The indifference for God’s word,
bred by Romanism, must change as
God’s Spirit awakens in the awaken
ing mind of Italy a love for the
truth as it is in Jesus. The immor
tal words of Savonarola are becom
ing history: “O Italy, I warn thee
that only Christ can save thee. The
time for the Holy Spirit has not
come, but it will come.” Let our
people pray more frequently and
earnestly for our Italian brethren,
Taylor, Eager, Paschctto, Papcn
gout, and their associates. Italian
leaders not only recognize but advo
cate “the study and practice of the
Scriptures as a basis of national
character and the only hope of re
form in the church”—i. -e., the Ro
fran Catholic Church. The battle cry
of one of her leading statesman (Ca
vour) United Italy has embodied into
her Constitution—“A free church in a
free State” (“Libera chiesa in libero
Stato”) —as an illustration of the an
tagonistic attitude of the papacy to
ward the education of the masses in
countries dominated by the priest
hood. Italy furnishes the sad fact
that up to 1861 but one person in
four of her population could read
and write. How changed now!
Nearly every boy and girl, between
the ages of twelve and eighteen, are
able to read and write. Tracts in
our evangelistic work there are as
leaves from the tree of life. The
Italian Tract Society in 1886 sent
out 264,000 books and tracts. Dur
ing the same year 130,000 Bibles,
New Testaments, and Gospels went
forth into the homes of Italy as si
lent evangels. Only eternity can re
veal the influence of those tracts
sent forth by that converted and
able Romish priest, De Sanctis.
The saying of another of her states
men (Massimo d’Azeglio), “Italy is
made, but Italians are not,” is true.
But as Christ saves and his truth
sanctifies them, the Italians are be
ing made.
Reader, world-wide Missions in
clude Italy! The Spirit of Christ,
reincarnated by the spirit of Mis
sions in an Italian, is as much to
God’s glory as when reincarnated in
any other redeemed sinner. Surely
the church of God can in no way pay
her debt to Italy so fully as in giving
her Jesus Christ and his gospel. If
we can’t preach the gospel in Rome,
we can send the gospel to Rome.

TRIP THROUGH THE MILLER AS
SOCIATION.
Bro. Editor:—lt was your wri
ter’s privilege to travel over a part
of the Miller Association during the
last few days. This Association,
territorily considered, is a big thing
This trip revealed several fact.
(Which weVe really gratifying to us|
and may be of interest to the gener
al reader. This Association is cer
tainly on the March, evidences of
this are visible on every hand. Bet
ter church houses, a more active
membership and larger contributions
were among the hopeful signs which
we noticed. Never before in the
bounds of this Association was there
less destitution or a more efficient
ministry. But while we are thank
ful for the improvements which have
been made, there is great room and
loud calls for greater improvements.
At Statesboro, Brother Durham is
doing an excellent work. The
church is already beginning to reap
the good results of having the pastor
located in their midst. They have a
handsome house of worship. It is
an ornament to the town and highly
creditable to the zeal and liberality
of the church.
Blitch Church has a working
membership. Bro. J. J. Miller is
the much loved pastor in charge.
They have an excellent church build
ing.
Friendship Church has a neat
and commodious house. Till recent
ly this church had been worshiping
in a small log house. Bro. Miller is
also the pastor of this church.
Elam has a large membership.
Bro. Zack Cowart is the pastor here
and has been for a number of years.
They have a large house of worship
and when finished will be handsome.
Oak Grove Church is weak both
in number and means, but they have
a good house sufficiently large.
Bro. W. M. Cowart is their pastor.
Salem has a small membership,
only thirty-three members, but finan
cially it is a strong church. Sever
al of its members have been very
prosperous in farming, and are well
to do. Bro. R. J. Williams is their
pastor. They are now improving
their church house. It is large and
well constructed. We found here an
extra good Sunday School, well offi
cered and well attended. We refer
to this school just because the old
and young are engaged in it.
On the 15th of this month a num
ber of brethren and sisters having
obtained letters of dismission from
surrounding churches proceeded to
organize themselves into a new
church to be known as the Stillmore
Baptist Church. A presbytery com
posed of the following ministers, viz:
Daniel Haya, W. M.- Cowart, O. B.
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY, MAY 26. 1892.
Arons, and the writer having been
invited, were present as witnesses.
W. M. Cowart was called to the
chair, and the writer was made Sec
retary of the presbytery. First a
strong and pointed sermon was
preached by the chairman. His
subject was “The church of the liv
ing God, the pillar and ground of
the truth.” A synopsis of this dis
course cannot now be given. Let it
suffice to say that the preacher held
his hearers with unflagging interest
to he end.
The letters were now called for
and collected and read.. Upon mo
tion of Bro. Aron, a covenant, arti
cles of faith &c were read and adopt
ed unanimously by all those present.
After which the right hand was ex
tended by the presbytery. This
church has called Elder W. M. Cow
art to be their pastor and J. L. Cleary
to be clerk. It begins its career
under most auspicious surroundings.
The membership are staunch men
and women. They have a neat house
nearly completed, costing about six
teen hundred dollars. Sister Cleary
has done a noble work for the Lord
in the town of Stillmore. They are
in debt I understood about {600.00
on the building. Geo. M. Jhinson,
the well known lumber man, present
ed the church with a bell costing
8100.00. About four years ago
this town was laid out in the wilder

tor, fox and deer held undisputed
‘Sway. This new railroad town
starts out nobly in good works.
May she have the co-operation of
Christians all over Georgia. This
struggling body needs help, especial

ASKED AND ANSWERED.
C. E. W. DOBBS, D. D.
“Will Dr. Dobbs please give me
light on the words of Jesus in Matt.
24:34, 36. Has not that question
long since passed away ? And how
could Jesus be divine if he did not
know the time of his coming?
L. 8. M.”
Our brother is not alone in his
perplexity. The passage is con
fessedly difficulty of interpretation.
In the chapter our Lord appears to
be speaking of the approaching over
throw of the Jewish nation-f-the
destruction of Jersusalem—which
was accomplished by the Romans
under Titus in A. D. 70. The dis
ciples had asked in verse 3: “When
shall these things be? and what
shall be the size of thy coming, and
of the end of the world?” In com
mon with their countrymen the dis
ciples believed that the establish
ment of the Messiah’s kingdom would
be attended by mighty charges. They
seem also to have looked for the
establishment of that kiegdom when
he should come again according to
his previous promise. See Matt.
16:27, and Luke 19:11. When they
inquired, therefoie, concerning his
‘‘coming,” they connected with that
coming the “end of the world.”
There is no sufficient reason to sup
pose they dissociated these as two
separate events. In their thought
his “coming” and the “end of the
world” were to be simultaneous.
But what did they understand by
the “end of the world?” Certainly
not the distinction of the material
earth. “World” (aion, not kosmos)
meant the “age,” or the then present
state of things. Its end, or consum
mation, would usher m the age ot
the Messiah.
Now it was of that coming—the
providential destruction of the Jew
ish temple and national existence as
a ruling power—that our Lord said,
“this generation shall not pass away
till all these things be accomplished.”
We cannot do better than just here
to quote Dr. J. A. Broadus:
“The word (generation) cannot
have any other meaning here than
the obivious one. The attempts to
establish for it the’sense of race or
nation have failed. We now com
monly make the rough estimate of
three generations to a century. The
year in which our Lord said this was
most probably A. D. 30, and if so, it
was forty years to the destruction of
Jerusalem. The thought is thus the
same as in chapter 16:28; and
compare John 21:22, etc. Till
all these things be fulfilled, or more
exactly, place, come to pass.
The emphasis is on ‘all.’ All the
things predicted in verse
would occur before or in immediate
connection with the destruction of
Jerusalem. But like events might
again occur in connection with
another and greater coming of the
Lord, and such seems evidently to
be his meaning.”
As to the other question of L. S.
M. most of the difficulty will vanish
if we remember that Jesus was truly
a man possessing a human soul and
mind. Here also let us hear Dr.
Broadus:
“This statement (verse 36) of our
Lord as to himself can be explained
only by referring the ignorance to
his human mind. We read of him
at twelve years of age, that he ‘ad
vanced in wisdom and in stature’
(or ‘age’). If he then advanced in
wisdom, he did not cease advancing
at the age of twenty or thirty. If
his knowledge was incomplete at
twelve, it wjjq_ still incomplete at
thirty. Indeed, a finite mind could
not contain all knowledge. If there
was to be a real Incarnation of the
Eternal Word, then the body he
took must be a real body, and the
mind a real inind. How his Divine
nature could'be omniscient, and his
human mind limited in knowledge,
both being united in one person, is
part of the mystery of the Incarna
tion which we need not expect to
solve.”
So also we must explain the words
of Jesus in John 10:28, 29, and John
14:28. By the Incarnation there
was no blending of the Divine and
the human. Jesus was not deified
humanity, nor humanized deity.
The two natures co-exiSted in the
one person. Os course this is be
yond our comprehension—neces
sarily so. Our Lord would not be
entitled to our worship and confi
dence ss our hope if he could be
brought within the compass of weak
and circumscribed human thought.
MERGER SUMMER SCHOOL.
The Summer school at Mercer
University, Macon, Ga., will open
June 15th and continue ten weeks.
It will be conducted very much after
the schedule of regular college exer
cises. It will open at 9 a. m. and
continue until 5 p. m., with two
hours at m. of each day, except Sat
urday.
The students will each be charged
ten (810.00) dollars for the entire
term. If a student wishes to take
only one study he will be required
to make three Recitations a day the
same as' the others and must there
fore pay the same twice. The
school has been well advertised and
a full attendance is expected. Young
men from all directions over the
Spitcy besjlgs from the Carolinas and
FlorftbA sfe applying, bne letter
from Florida brought nearly a score
of applieahts.
Experience teaches that this school
is an actual necessity. Young men
who know nothing of the preparation
one must hkve to enter, come intend
ing to enter aUove where they really
belong feeling that they can easily
“make up” what they are deficient
in. They soon find that they are
mistaken for this faculty gives each
man just what he can carry even to
u feather’s weight—with no time
to lose. And if one happens to be
behind, in any one study even, he
either soon drops out entirely or
leaves off that study; and if he goes
through he receives only a piece of
what his diploma ought to be. There
are now’ several young men in col
lege taking irregular courses because
they were not up when they came
and could not keep pace with their
classes. Besides, the register shows
that forty-three young men came re
cently and after trying it for awhile,
for want of preparation in the out
set, fell by the w r ay, after losing
both time and money. They are
gone perhaps not to return. There
were several others that applied and
were unable to enter. Their teach
ers at home thought they could get
in but they could not stand the test.
This is very embarrassing to young
men and parents should avoid it, if
for no other reasons because it so
“hacks a boy,” to use a college boy*s
expression, that he never recovers.
Board at the Hall at {B.OO a
month. The large, cool shades fur
nished with comfortable seats, the
deep well of clear, cool water, the
very large, convenient, airy, recita
tion rooms, together with the well
arranged black boards, seats and oth
er conveniencies make the school a
very desirable one.
Mr. J. C. Massee, a graduate from
the college and one well qualified to
prepare young men for the classes
will have the principalship. Mr.
Massee is well known as an upright,
Christian gentleman and needs no
introduction.
Dr. Nunnally’s addresses at the
opening of the school and spiced
along during the term will be of
great value to the young men who
are so fortunate as to attend.

MISSION WORK OF THE SOUTHERN

In 1892, 5,973.
Total Additions—ln 1882, 333;
In 1892; 11,247.
There are certain conclusions
borne out by these ’ figures which
will commend themselves to all our
people.
1. While the receipts of the
Foreign Board have little more than
doubled, the number of their Mis
sionaries has increased five and a
half times, their baptisms three and a
half times, and the number of their
church members more than two and
a half times. As the receipts are
increased, the number of workers
and the results of their work are in
creased in a much larger propor
tion. This arises from the fact that
in Mission work, as in other business,
there are certain fixed expenses
which must be incurred, whether the
work is large or small, and these ex
penses do not increase propor
tionately with the increase of the
work.
2. The increase of membership
has l>een far greater proportionately
in the Foreign field than in our home
churches. The increase of the white
Baptist churches within the territory
of the Southern Baptist Convention
from 1882 to 1892 was 308,121 or
about 33 per cent., while the in
crease of the churches under our
Foreign Mission Board was 250 per
cent, in the same time.
3. In our Home Field while the
cash receipts have increased 4|
times, and the co-operative work of
the Board 6| times, the number
of Missionaries has increased
ten times, and the additions
to the Mission churches have
risen form 333 in 1882 to 11,247 in
1892.
No comparison can be made in
the work of church building on the
Mission field, as the Board in 1882
did little in that direction, and made
no report of its work, while in 1892
864,000 were raised and expended
in this work. This sum is almost
entirely net gain in this department.
Such facts should silence all adverse
criticism, and bring every lover of
our Lord in cordial and active sym
pathy with the work of the Conven
tion. J. T. Tichenor.

THE FIERY FURNANOE.
Lesson for June 5,1892.
Scripture Lesson : Daniel 3:13-25.
Motto Text.—When thou walk

be burned; neither shall the flame
kindle upon thee.—lsaiah xliii.
introduction.
Holding the reins of universal em
pire, Nebuchadnezzar sought to con
solidate it by bringing all the differ
ent nationalities to one common re
ligious worship. For this purpose
he Summoned all the rulers and gov
ernors of provinces to Babylon, and
bade all the vast assembly gathered,
to bow down and worship the huge
idol erected by himself, on pain of
being cast into a fiery furnace. Dan
iel seemed to have been absent from
some cause, but his three friends and
companions, of whom we studied in
lessons 8 and 9, were present and re
fused to worship the image, of course.
Their conduct was reported to the
King by hostile Chaldeans, and the
three men were summoned into the
presence of Nebuchadnezzar himself.
explanations.
I. The Faithful Witnesses.—
13-18. Shadrack, Meshack and Abed
nego were the three friends of Dan
iel, w’ho had been honored by the
King, at Daniel’s request, and made
Governors in the Province of Baby
lon. Their Hebrew names were
Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah.
Nebuchadnezzar, in a rage at their
refusal, inquires if it is true, or as
the Revised Version has it, “Is it on
purpose ?” that they refuse to “wor
ship the golden image.” He offers
them another opportunity of render
ing obedience, and threatens to have
them cast into a firey furnace if they
disobey, and then boastfully asks,
“What God can deliver you out of
my hands”—from my power? He
supposed that, as no god had deliv
ered them, nor any who had resisted
him, in war, of course, no god could
deliver them from his power now.
Their reply is, “We are in no degree
troubled as to how we should answer
thee O, Nebuchadnezzar. We have
no need to answer thee. All we
have to say is that our God is able to
deliver us from the fiery furnace, if
he sees fit. If not, we simply leave
the matter to him, letting thee know
that we “will not serve thy gods, nor
worship the golden image which
thou hast set up.” They simply an
nounce that they will stick to duty,
and leave the results with God. This
is the true Christian spirit—remain
faithful to duty and principle, come
w hat may.
11. The Fiery Furnace.—l 9-23.
At this positive refusal to obey him,
the King’s fury knew no bounds.
He commanded the furnace to be
heated as hot as it could be made
and then ordered the strongest and
mightiest men of his army to bind
Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego
and cast them into the firery furn
ace, and so “urgent”—so emphatic
and imperative was the command,
that no delay was allowed for pre
cautions, and when the opening at
the top was approached, and the men
bound in the garments were cast in,
the flames rushed out with such vio
lence as to kill the executioners,
while the three victims fell down in
to the firery furnance and were un
hurt, beause God protected them.
Thus God honored their faithfulness
—by preserving them in the midst of
the flames, when soldiers on their
very edge, were scorched to death.
111. The Divine Deliverance.—
24-25. The King was watching the
issue of the matter and looking
through the lower door, used for in
serting fuel and securing a draught,
saw four men loose, and walking
about, instead of three men bound;
and as the Babylonians were bound
with chains, this was the more re
markable. (Jer. 40:4; 52:11). No
wonder the King was astonished,
and manifested terror and astonish
ment. He exclaims, “Did we not cast
in three men bound ? Lo! I see four
men loose, walking in the midst of
the fire, and have no hurt; and the
fourth is like the Son of God!”—like
a son of the gods,—an angel— sent

as a messenger from heaven. Only
a divine being the king knew could
thus live in the fire and preserve
others there. Os course he knew
nothing of the true Son of God which
came into the world; but doubtless
it was in reality the Son of God,
who as “the angel of the Lord” at
various times appeared to the Old
Testament saints.
At this point our lesson closes. It
should be stated that Nebuchadnezzar
called the three men to come forth
from the furnance and come to him'
When the crowd of princes, govern
ors, captains and counsellors gather
ed about them discovered the fact
that the men were wholly unharmed,
not a hair singed, not a thread burn
ed, and no smell of fire upon their
garments even. The King promoted
the three men to higher honors, and
he was so impressed that he praised
God, and published a decree forbid,
ding anybody to say anything against
him. We learn that God takes care
and honors those who are faithful
and honor him. Therefore all Chris
tians should be faithful to duty. (Ps.
91:15.)
