one accord, pronounces it the hand
somest in this section of country.

The Hartwell -Sun prints an item
of news which we feel constrained
to copy as follows: Rev. Thomas W.
Jordan, well known to many of the
people of Hart was a delegate to
the Southern Baptist Convention
held in Atlanta, from Texas. After
the convention he visted relatives
and friends m this county, and start
ed on his return journey week before
last. He has not as yet reached home
and his wife has sent several tele
grams to relatives here inquiring as
to his whereabouts. It is feared that
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY, JUNE 9. 1892
Mr. Jordan was among a number of
delegates who were killed in a wreck
on a railroad about the time that he
was on his way home.
The notice of the Centennial meet
ing at Vienna was crowded out last
week and we give only a brief in
this connection. Seventeen churches
of the Houston Association were
represented by messengers. Rev. J.
J. Hymen preached the opening ser
mon Friday evening. The work of
missions and the workers in the
cause of Modern 'missions for the
past hundred years were discussed.
Rev. H. Hatcher preached on Sun
day morning. Sunday afternoon
Rev. 8.. W. Davis preached and Rev.
G. W. McCranie preaehed Sunday
night. The church at Vienna feels
much benefited by the meeting and
the delegates return home with in
creased zeal.
The Texas Baptist and Herald
says: “Corresponding Secretary of
the Home Board, is a man whom all
Texas and the South delight to hon
or. Under his skillful and successful
management, the missionary work in
Texas has assumed vast proportions.
He has placed the Home Board
in the forefront of our denomination
al work in the United States.
“Dr. Tichenor is about 65 years of
age. No man in the Convention has
more pulpit power when aroused
than I. T.Tichenor. His management
of missions has been superb, infus
ing new fresh life in the State work
of all Southern Baptists.
“Gov. Northern, Ist vice-president,
delivered the elegant address of wel
come seen in our report. Bro. North
ern, like Judge Haralson, stands
erect and speaks right out, in direct
kindly way, which secures him atten
tion of all hearers; he is about 60.”
The general meeting of the Mid
dle Cherokee Association, was held
May 27th, to 29th, with the church
at Resaca. Rev. A. S. Tatum preach
ed the opening sermon. He was also
elected Moderator and Bro. J. P
Jones clerk. “How to use Sunday
school literature was discussed by
several, as was also “Missions in the
Sunday-school.” The duty of tcach
the mission spirit to Sunday-school
scholars was strongly put. Friday
night Rev. C. E. W. Dobbs preach
ed an instructive sermon to an ap
preciative congregation. It is a
matter of regret that half the
churches in the association had no
messenger present to represent them.
Many good and interesting things
were said by the speakers on the
several subjects discussed and it
would have been a great blessing to
the other - churches had they sent
delegates. The next general meet
ing will be held with the church at
Sugar Valley. It is desired that
each church elect delegates, and
have their clerk send a letter by
them. When these meetings are
held with a church, preparations are
made for all, and it is disappointing
for half the churches not to send
delegates. The meeting at Resaca
was a success and a blessing to the
church and visitors.
“Prof. W. C. McKenzie, of Bluff
ton High School, writes us the Gen
eral meeting of the Bethel Associa
tion convened with the church at
Bluffton May 27th. The opening
sermon was by Rev. M. B. L. Binion.
Bro. W. P. McArthur was elected
moderator and W. P. McKenzie clerk •
By vote, the body made all present
members of the meeting. The first
question discussed was “Can the
Heathen be saved without the Gos
pel.” The decision was in the
negative. A negative decision was
also reached after discussing “Can a
church live and. prosper long without
contributing to the support and main
tenance of the Gospel and sending it
to the heathen.” After discussion
the body affirmed that the Apostles
were missionaries, and labored as
such, and that the churches of the
New Testament were missionary
and contributed to the support of the
Gospel. Rev. E. V. Baldy preached
Saturday morning.
Sixteen churches were represented
by messengers. Adopted a resolu
tion endorsing the Bethel News, edit
ed by Rev. W. M. Howell, and rec
ommended that the churches of the
Association and pastors give it their
hearty co-operation and support.
Other questions were discussed and'
Sunday-school addresses made Sun
day morning. Rev. 11. A. McLendon
preached and a collection was taken
for Foreign missions.
Cuthbert was selected as the next
place of holding the general meeting
and the time was left with the ex
ecutive committee.
Brother J. A. Soarboro writes us
he is just home from an eighteen
day’s trip in Montgomery and Tatt
nall counties. The first week he
spent at Vidalialn the Sunday-school
Convention and Institute.
Only ministers present were breth
ren C. M. Carswell and J. J. Wil
liamson beside the pastor. The meet
ings were excellent, the church re
vived, thirteen members added,
eight by baptism. The brethren de
cided to build a pastor’s home, Bro.
Silas Meadows giving four acres of
land.
Walls of prejudice were broken
down and some who had been car
ried astray by the double errors of
“free communion” and baptismal, re
generation, were reclaimed. If our
people would only use the literature
they have they could settle many
vexed questions. Remington’s reas
ons for becoming a Baptist and de
fence of restricted communion are
just the books to settle the question,
and they are only five cents apiece.
Get them from the Baptist Publica
tion Society Atlanta. Our heart
went out to our beloved young breth
ren Oneal and Mosely; they were
regular attendants at the Institute
and it pleased the Lord to open their
hearts to the truth and both were
happily converted. May the Lord
keep them steadfast.
Leaving Vidalia we had the pleas
ure of preaching at Ohoopee, Mt.
Zion, Comer and also of making a
Sunday-school speech at Cedar
Field.
He spent the last three days of the
time at Reidsville in the Missionary
Centennial. Plenty of able preach
ers there and all willing to to do their
part to make the meeting successful.
The laymen too were there and they
could talk and work as well as
preachers. It was one of the best
meetings ever held in this part of
Georgia. The funds were subscrib
ed in ten minutes ($600.00) to send
a missionary to the foreign field.
Over $20.00 were given to missions,
on Sunday.
It is but justice to say that much
of the success of the meeting, was
due to the untiring energy of Col. H.
J. McGee. Besides painting the
church, and purchasing new chandel
iers out of his own purse he furnish
ed conveyance to and from the rail
road for all visitors, entertained a
house full of visitors all the time,
gave the writer a new hat, and cap
ped the climax when he and Mrs.
McGee together gave $120.00 to for
eign missions.

ASKED AND ANSWERED.
REV. C. E. W. DOBJBS.
“Is there any prohibition in the
Scriptures of the marriage of second
cousins ? a. s. T.”
No, unless one chooses to include
second cousins within the prohibited
“near of kin.” (See Lev. 18:6-17;
Deut. 27 : 20-23.) Commenting on
this passage Scott says that “the on
ly collateral relations which are for
bidden to marry are brothers and
sisters, by whole or half blood, legit
imate or illegitimate.” According
to Josephus the law did not forbid
the intermarriage of cousins. Very
early Christian nations, guided by
the “church,” began to legitimate on
this question. The prohibited de
grees were extended not only to first
cousins but even sixth cousins were
not allowed to intermarry, except
by dispensation from the ecclesiasti
cal powers, the granting of which
proved a very lucrative practice for
“Holy Mother Church.” The New
Testament lays down no law con
cerning the prohibited degrees. Ex
perience would seem to warm against
the intermarriage of parties within
three degrees of consanguinity.
“What is the millennium ? j
have been searching my Bible and
can find nothing concerning it, and I
am at a loss to know why it has so
prominent a place in common expec
tation. g.”
You are not alone in your fruitless
search. Other earnest inquirers
have found as little as you found.
The truth is that the Bible has no
information to give us on the sub
ject. There is nothing in the ser
mons of the apostles about an earth
ly millennium, much less in the
words of Christ. The w ord means
literally a period of one thousand
years, and there are two classes of
millenarians—pre-inillenarians and
post-millenarians. The first believe
that Christ will come to earth and
reign in person during the thousand
years. The other class believe the
second coming of Christ will follow
the millennium. The only passage
of Scripture that can be quoted as at
all applicable is Rev. 20: 4, which is
confessedly difficult of interpretation.
Augustine, the great theologian of
the early years of the fifth century,
thought the “first resurrection”
meant regeneration, and that the
thousand years had begun before
his day. In view of the difficulty of
separating figure from fact, it is wis
est to conclude that the millennium
of this passage is a hieroglyph whose
meaning has not yet been satisfacto
rily solved. The explanations and
determinations of the historic period
have been almost as many as the wri
ters on the subject. We know but
little about it. Certainly the Script
ures teach that the second coining of
Christ will be to judge the world,
not to set up an earthly kingdom.
Hence the pre-millenarians are clear
ly in error, and we suspect that the
great mass of post-millenarian guess
es are equally wrong. Enough to
know that Christ has commanded us
to preach his gospel to all nations,
and that he encourages us to expect
the final triumphs of his kingdom.
Under the dispensation of grace the
Holy Spirit is to win the world to
Christ.
“What is the ‘Muratorian Canon ?’
R. M. P.”
Referring to thu Schaff-Herzog
Encyclopedia of Religious Knowl
edge, we learn that it is a list of the
books of the New Testament of
very early date. It is so called be
cause discovered by Muratori in the
Ambrosian library in Milan in 1740,
in a manuscript of the eighth or ninth
century. It was probably originally
written in Latin, and dates from the
last quarter of the second century
(A. D. 170.) The fragment draws
a sharp line between the fully and the
only partially received writings. The
list includes the four Gospels, Acts,
thirteen epistles of Paul, First John,
Jude and Revelation. The compi
ler, whoever he was, thought that
Second John and Jude had as little
right to their names as “Wisdom”
had to that of Solomon. The list
excludes Hebrews, James, First and
Second Peter, and Third John.
The “Canon” so called is of no au
thority except as incidentally wit
nessing to the existence of the New
Testament at the time it was writ
ten. From the most careful exami
nation of all the evidence accessible
it is certain that*, at the close of the
second century our present New Tes
tament was completed, and for the
most part had received the unanimous
endorsement of the Christian world.
That some doubts were entertained
by some of the early Christian schol
ars concerning some of the books
only proves how careful they wAre
in admitting any writings into the
sacred canon. They investigated
fully the claims of each before re
ceiving it as the genuine work of
apostle or other inspired writer. We
may confidently rest assured that the
sacred volume as we now have it is
authentic.
“Our pastor said last Sunday in
his sermon that the scholars of all
denominations admitted that immer
sion was the New Testament bap
tism. A Methodist gentleman who
heard the sermon said he was sur
prised at the bold assertion, and
wishes to know if the Baptist paper
will endorse the statement, a. c.”
Your pastor simply stated the
truth. Not all scholars are candid
enough to make the admission, but
all competent and candid commenta
tors and ecclesiastical historians
so admit. Only a few citations can
be made here. For example Rev.
Dr. Sohaff, Presbyterian, in his
“Apostolic Church,” says: As to the
outward mode of administering this
ordinance, immersion, and not sprink
ling, was unquestionably the origi
nal, normal form.” “Not until the
end of the thirteenth century did
sprinkling become the rule and im
mersion the exception.’”
The late Episcopalian scholar,
Dean A. P. Stanley, author of ma
ny standard ecclesiastical histories,
in his latest work, “Christian Insti
tutions,” chapter I, says of the apos
tolic age : “Baptism was not only a
bath, but a plunge—an entire sub
mersion in the deep water. For the
first thirteen centuries the almost
universal practice of baptism was
that of which we read in the New
Testament, and which is the very
meaning of the word baptize—that
those who were baptized were plung
ed, submerged, immersed into the
water. That practice is still, as we
have seen, continued in the Eastern
churches.”
Stanley traces the historic steps
by which immersion was gradually
displaced by affusion, coolly regard
ing the change as a “triumph of con
venience and common sense over
bondage to form,” and adds:
“The change from immersion to
sprinkling has set aside the larger
part of the Apostolic language re
garding baptism, and has altered the
very meaning of the word. , . .
The substitution of sprinkling for
mmersion must, to many, at the
time, and to the Baptists now, have
seemed the greatest and most dan
gerous innovation.”
And the late Dr. Dollinger, the
apostle of the “Old Catholics,” de
clares :
“The Baptist position is incontro
vertable from the Protestant stand
point, since they have the clear Bi
ble text for baptism.”
So certain is this point regarded
that Dr. L. L. Paine, Professor of
Church History in Bangor Theolog
ical Seminary (Congregational), in
an elaborate article, in reply to some
criticism on his teaching, wrote :
“Was immersion the primitive
form of baptism? No matter of
church history is clearer. The evi
dence is all one way, and all church
historians of any repute agree in ac
cepting it. It is a point on which
ancient, medieval, and modern histo
rians alike, Catholic and Protestant
Lutheran and Calvinist, have no
controversy. And the simple reason
for this unanimity is that the state
ments of the early Fathers are so
clear, and the light shed upon these
statements from the early customs of
the church is so conclusive, that no
historian who cares for his reputa.
tion would dare to deny it, and no
historian who is worthy of the name
would wish to.”*
Let the above suffice, though
scores of other citations could be
given. We may be pardoned for
referring the reader, who may wish
to see more of the same sort, to
tracts from the pen of the writer,
published by the American Baptist
Publication Society, entitled “Pedo
baptist Testimony to 'lmmersion”
and “Pedobaptist Comments on Pe
dobaptist Proof-Texts.” By all
means road too Dr. Broadus’s tract
—“lmmersion Essential to Christian
Baptism”—published by the same
Society. Fifteen cents in stamps
sent to 66| Whitehall Street, Atlan
ta, will secure them.

Deaf froAC
I was the victim of the wont case of
Catarrh that I ever heard of. I waa
entirely deaf in one ear, and all the io
side of my nose, including part of the
bone sloughed off. No sort of treat
ment bcneflttcd me, and physicians said,
“I would never be auy better." As a
last resort I took Swift s Specific, and it
entirely cured me and restored my hear
Ing. I have been well for yean, and
no sign of return of the disease.—Mrs.
Joutrauit Poumi,
