2 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. Baltimore, Md. 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 ness, where the rattle-snake, aliga 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 ly from the State Board. Yours in Jesus, W. O. Dabsey. 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. Students wishing to attend can address me at 1115 Ash Street, Ma con, Ga. J. L. D. Miller. MISSION WORK OF THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION. We give below the increase made in the work of the Boards of the Convention in the last ten years- No fact speaks more strongly of the wisdom of their management, and of the Divine blessing upon their labors than these figures. It wall be seen that the cash receipts of the two Boards have increased about an equal amount, the increase for the Foreign Board being 865,168, and th at, the Home Board {66,051. increase from 1882 to 1892 FOREIGN BOARD.

Additions by Baptism—ln 1882, 119; In 1892, 5,274.' Addition by Letter—ln 1882,214; 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. COMMENCEMENT.

Motto Text.—When thou walk est through the fire, thou shalt not 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 Young Mothers!

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.)
