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. 49TH ANNIVERSARY OF SOUTHERN FEMALE COLLEGE, LAGRANGE, GEORGIA, 1892.

Albany.—The meetings of three weeks’ continuance in the Albany church have been well attended, and have done good. Brother Patterson, of Dawson, aided me five days, and did some sound, effective preaching- There were twelve accessions, six by letter and six by baptism. I am hoping that others who were inter ested will profess Christ soon. E. B. Carboll. Whatever may be the cause of blanching, the hair may be restored to its original color by the use of that potent remedy Hall’s Vegetable Sicicilian Hair Renewer. 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. REPOET OF THE BAPTIST ORPHANS HOME ASSOCIATION FOE MAROH.
