beginning of his movement he or
ganized them into “societies,” which
met regularly for work and worship
under appointed “preachers. ’ Mr.
Wesley died March 2, 1791. Shortly
before his death he wrote to a pre
late of the church of England a let
ter dated Hull, .June 26th, 1790, in
which occurs these sentences: “The
Methodists in general, my Lord, are
members of the church of England.
They hold all her doctrines, attend
her services, and partake of her
sacraments.” In their lite of Wes
ley, published in London, within a
year of his death, his biographers
state that “Mr. Wesley had hitherto
ordained ministers only for America
and Scotland. But during the period
we have mentioned, being assisted
by other Presbyters of the church of
England, he set apart a certain num
ber of preachers for the sacred of
fice by the imposition of his hands
and prayer, without sending them
out of England; one of these he or
dained after writing the above letter,
and but a short time before his death,
strongly advising them at the same
time, that according to his example
they should continue united to the
Established church, so far as the
work in which they are engaged
would permit.”
REV. LUTHER RIOE.
BY REV. F. K. BOSTON, MEMPHIS, TENN.
As ships sail away to sea, little by
little the low lying coast sinks below
the horizon, then the taller trees, the
last to disappear is the top of the
highest hills. The eye sweeps the
sea and sky for some land mark, but
there is none. So persons who have
been great and prominent in their
generation gradually fail from the
minds of men and disappear from
their memories.
When I was a child the name of
Luther Rice was a household word
in many of our Baptist homes, there
were little traditions about his visits
treasured up among the family rec
ords. Children were named after
him, but who among the rising gen
eration knows Luther Rice ? • Who
now reads his biography ? Who has
connected his name with this centen
nial of missions, the only book that
contains his life is now out of print.
Luther Rice was truly a great
character, a mighty man of God. He
stands in close connection with the
rise and progress of the spirit of
Missions and Ministerial education
in the churches of America.
The place of a man's birth contrib
utes no worth to his life but his
achievements may give name and
fame to it. Luther Rice was born in
the town of Northborough, Worces
ter County, Mass., March 251 h 1783.
His father was a Revolutionary Sol
dier, his mother was a woman of
sterling worth.
Luther Rice's conversion was very
marked and decided.* It was literal
ly a new birth. His travail of soul
was very remarkable for its depth
and pungency. He was 18 years
old when he came under permanent
conviction. His conceptions of the
holy character of God and the
claims of the law he had violated,
awakened the most alarming appre
hensions, and led him to cry earnest
ly for mercy. His sense of the
transcendent excellence of the law
oi God and the desperate wicked
ness of his own heart became more
fixed and habitual, producing anguish
and dread almost intolerable. He
says, I was mostly by myself, and
day after day for weeks and months,
spent most of my time in literally
weeping and wailing.
Luther Rice's convictions were re
markable also for their duration.
For a year and a half he labored in
sorrow and travail because of his
sins and the wrath of God. In this
respect he was like the great Spur
geon. For a long time the great
preacher sought the Lord in sorrow.
As God gave King Josiah the hon
or of having the law of God found in
his reign, as ho called Wm. Carey in
Ehgland to bring to the light the
long forgotten commission. So the
Spirit of the Christ laid his hand on
Luther Rice and commissioried him
to a similar work. Do you know
that it is generally conceded that
Luther Rice first conceived the idea
of Foreign Missions in America? On
his tombstone in the grave yard of
Mount Pleasant Church, S.| this
sentence is cut, “It is thought the
first Foreign Mission, on which he
went to India, associated with Jud
son and others, originated with him.
Rice was at this time a Ministerial
student at Williams College. He
communicated his thought to a few
of the students, they formed the first
College Society of Missionary inqui
ry. About the same time, the
thought of Foreign Missions came
into the heart of Juddbn at Ando
ver Seminary, and a similar society
was formed there. Judson and Rice
with four other students prepared a
memorial to the General Association
of all the evangelical ministers of
Massachusetts, convened at Bradford,
1891, urging the pressing claims of
the heathen,"and asking an appoint
ment in the East. From these ef
forts originated the American Board
of Commissions for Foreign Missions
and the sending out of Luther Rice,
with Judson, and others as mission
aries of the Gospel of India.
We come now to another great
and grave crisis in the life of Rice.
He sailed for India as a Congrega
tionalism and under the patronage of
the Congregationalist Church. He
left his country loyal to his church
and its teachings as to the subjects
and mode of baptism. On his voy
age to India he met on ship board
two English Baptist Missionaries,
Johns and Lawson. In his journal
he refers to a conversation with them
on the subjects of baptism, and to
the fact that he was employed in its
investigation. He was led to inves
tigate the subject by some authori
ties being brought to his attention
concerning the word Baptiso, partic
ularly some remarks from the pen
of Dr. Campbell. He was led to in
vestigate the Scriptural authority for
infant baptism in order to have a
clear and more decisive proof jn fa
vor of it than he had been able to
produce. When he landed in India
he was not convinced, the question
was still troubling him. All during
his voyage he took the side of sprink
ling and infant baptism. When
Rice learned that Dr. Judson had
changed his views, and was going to
join the Baptists, his mind was still
more impressed with the necessity of
faithful investigation. He went to
board with the Judsons. At first,
Dr. Judson says he was disposed to
give me fierce battle, but I held off
and recommended him to betake
himself to the Bible and prayer. He
did so and lived much by himself, so
that I seldom saw him except at
meals. But his inquiries, when we
met, soon assumed that cool and sol
emn air which left me no doubt, as
to what would be the result of his
investigation. Dr. Judson and his
wife were baptized by Mr. Ward
Ist of September, 1812, and Mr-
Rice was baptized on the Ist of No
vember of the same year, by the
same great and good man. Every
step in this investigation was a fierce
battle. llis early religious impres
sions, his well set prejudices against
the Baptists, the way in which his
change of views would bo received
in America, the alternations which
his plans and hopes for Mission work
would have to undergo, the uncer
tainty as to whether the Baptists
would receive him as their missiona
ry amt sustain him. Every natural
and pleasant consideration contested
his investigation and opposed his
conclusions, and we are led to the
confession that nothing but the
dearest light from God's Word on
the one hand and supremo sense of
obligation to Christ on the other
led him to become a Baptist. The
baptism of Judson and Rico placed
them in an embarrassing condition,
their change of views cut them off
from the support of the American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions and left the lone missiona
ries in India without a support or a
constituency. But in this how plain
ly now is seen the hand of God.
Judson and Rice had been used in
his wise providence to call into ac
tivity the congregationalists as to
Foreign Missions, to organize and
send out their missionaries and now
he uses them to stir the sleeping
Baptists of America to the same
great work. Without warning or
foercasting, he suddenly threw two
great men with magnificent powers
of mind and heart, and special quali
fications upon them. So there went
up a cry from India across the seas,
to the Baptist hosts in their slum
bers and indifference. Awake!
Awake! put on thy strength O Zi
on, Put on thy beautiful garments,
O Jerusalem, the holy city, shake
thy self from the dust, Arise!
For Judson God closed up every
avenue, and led the way to Rangoon
Burma. For Rice God opened a
passage to America to organize our
churches into a general Baptist Con
vention for the maintenance of For
eign missions. In no period of the
Church does the hand of God seem
more visible. As soon as Luther
Rice arrived in the United States,
he discharged his obligations to the
American Board of Commissioners,
and made direct and formal endeav
ors to promote the missionary enter
prise among the Baptists. There
were then in existenop Dr. Taylor
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY, JUNE 23. 1892.
says, four or five Baptist Foreign
Mission Societies in New England.
The oldest was located in Salem, it
having been organized shortly after
the sailing of the missionaries from
this country. Besides this, may he
mentioned the societies formed in
Boston, Providence, and Haverhill,
the Society in Boston had already
assumed the support of Dr. Judson.
These societies formed the nucleus
of Rice’s great enterprise. After
consulting with Dr. Baldwin and
other leading Baptists, a general
plan of work was settled upon. Rice
undertook the gigantic work of or
ganizing our churches unto a gener
al convention for Foreign Missions.
For this purpose he visited all the
great cities, New York, Philadelphia,
Washington, Richmond. He travel
ed through the South, preached in
our churches, visited State and Dis
trict Associations, consulted with the
leading pastors and laymen of all the
states, sent out circulars in all direc
tions. As a result of these labors of
Mr. Rice, a number of ministers and
delegates from different parts of the
United States assembled in Phila
delphia on the 18th of May, 1814-
Dr. Richard Furman was called to
the chair and Dr. Thomas Baldwin
appointed Secretary. After a care
ful consideration of the whole sub
ject for several days it was unani
mously decided to form the “Gener
al Convention of the Baptist denom
ination in the United States for For
eign Missions.
Look around you,see the light that
is shining on all sides of our coun
try, see the spirit of missions steadi
ly growing in our churches. It was
first kindled by the hand of Luther
Rice, and it will never die out or
subside.
As Luther Rice traveled over the
country North and South he became
painfully conscious of the lack of
education in our pastors. In addi
tion to Missions the subject of Min
isterial education came upon his
heart. How to provide for the edu
cation of the rising ministry became
with him an all absorbing question.
He began to agitate the question, he
spoke of it, in private, he preached
on it, he wrote all over the country
in reference to it, he called the at
tention of the leading men North
and South to this crying need.
At an early period of his efforts
to promote the cause of education a
school was opened in Philadelphia
for the instruction of young men de
voted to the ministry, under the
care of Rev. Dr. Stoughton and Rev.
Ira Chase. Sometime after this
school was started in Philadelphia a
great educational idea came into his
heart, of a great national college and
theological seminary for the whole
country located at Washington, D.
C. This was the birth of Columbian
College. Land was bought buildings
erected, and the school at Philadel
phia transferred to 'Washington.
The college started off under the
most promising circumstances. To
the realization of his dream. Luther
Rice gave the last years of his life and
strength. The great university at
Chicago was what he had planned
for Washington.
(1.) Rice was a person of portly
and commanding presence. He was
above the ordinary height, he was
blessed with a robust and perfectly
erect form, he had great dignity of
appearance and manner. This was
especially true when he arose in the
pulpit. He produced on the behold
er a most favorable impression.
He was consecrated. He was on
the Lord’s side, his acceptance of the
Savior was absolute and
Gods will was his will, God’s work
was his work, he never labored for
self, it was all for God and needy
suffering humanity. He was ready
for service or sacrifice.
AS A PREACHER
Mr. Rico was superiorly educated.
Ho was a full graduate of Williams
College and Andover Theological
i Seminary. lie was well equipped
for the ministry. His style of ser
mons was argumentative and doctrit
nal. Ho dwelt largely on the great
doctrines of grace, the glory of God
and the atoning blood of Christ
where his great themes. He was als o
a most powerful pulpit speaker, ho
controlled and carried his audience
with him, they felt his magnetism, his
voice clear and melodious, he had
but little action, but that was appro
priate and graceful and he was re
markable for self possession. He
was blessed with such gifts as preach
er and pastor that Dr. Taylor says
that he could have filled the highest
pulpit in -the land. Luther Rice was
a man of great elevation of mind. Ho
had large and clear views of the
great commission. In this thing he
was ahead of his generation, he was
a leader, a Moses, to lead the churches
on and out to the world wide fields
of endeavor, and larger and higher
attainments in the ministry. When
Luther Rice was converted there was
not a Foreign Mission from Ameri
can churches, when he died said Dr.
Chapin the missionary spirit was
burning with a bright and spreading
flame, and mission stations quite en
circled the globe, without a doubt it
can be truly said of this great man
of God that he was the father of the
rise and progress of the spirit of Mis
sions and ministerial education in
our Baptist churches. Let us honor
his name and keep his memory
green.

BEOUEITY OF THE BELIEVER.
Are you a believer in the saving
power and grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ? Then know where your se
curity rests. Righteousness shall be
the girdle of his loins and faithful
ness the girdle of his reins.” The
girdle is a type of service. When
Jesus performed that last act of lov
ing, humble service for His disciples,
He “took a towel and girded himself.”
Jno. 13:4. Our salvation depends
upon Christ’s service for us, not upon
our service to Him. Christ’s atone
ment, Christ’s righteousness, Christ’s
intercession avail for us. The Lord,
our righteousness, must clothe us in
His righteousness; ours is but filthy
rags. Our security rests upon His
faithfulness in keeping the law. “By
grace ye are saved,” Eph. 2:8. “We
walk by faith,” 2 Co. 5:7. not by
faithfulness nor by fepling. A poor
Scotch woman,attending one of Whit
tle’s meeting, promised, after many
tears and much trembling, to believe
God’s promise, “Verily, verily, I say
unto you, He that hearcth my word,
believeth on him that sent me, hath
everlasting life, and shall not come
into condemnation.” Jno. 5:24. The
evangelist wrote the promise on a
card and gave it to her, and she
went home radiantly happy. Her
little boy, attracted.by her joy asked
her what had happened. She told
him and showed him the little card
and read the text to him out of the
Bible, and he, too, believed and re
joiced. The next morning when
the mother a^ lu “the glow of feel
ing waiy^y^ on y|itiid she came down
stairs du„ nnso ll»»4A The little boy,
noticing her gloom, asked what was
the matter. “Oh, I have lost my
blessing, I thought I was saved, but
the feeling is all gone.” “But,,’ said
the laddie, “has the verse changed ?”
Quickly he brought the little card
and read it and said brightly, “Why,
no, mitlier, it’s Just the same.” Then
he turned to the Bible and read it
there, and cried out, “It’s here, mith
er, the verse is just the same.”
heaven and earth shall pass away,
but God’s word shall not pass, and
He is faithful that promised.

A LITTLE CHILD LED HIM.
Oftiines we are taught by little
children, “and a little child shall lead
them” says the Psalmist. This is
spiritually true to-day as it will be
literally true in the millennium. A
little boy was walking with his fath
er who was smoking. They met sev
eral little boys with stubs of cigars
and pieces of pipes, on which they
were pulling diligently. The father
spoke earnestly to the little ones
about some of the evils of children
smoking. A bright little face turned
up to his, and the child said: “Is’nt
it worse for a many father?” As the
little one’s eye met the father’s eye,
his own fell. He was uneasy that he
had spoken what he should not. “Do
you think it was worse for a man
Edgar?” the father asked. “Pleas
father,” in a tremulous voice said
the boy. “I think the boys would
not want to do it if the men did not.”
The father had his answer. He
threw away his cigar and never
smoked again.
THE EARTH’S AXIS.
That the earth’s axis changes its
position is a new discovery. This
change helps to understand two
great changes that the earth has un
dergone. One is the glaciation of the
earth. The other is the extension,
during the Tertiary epoch, of a very
rich flowering and fruit-bearing veg
tation, now characteristic of Southern
Europe, over a wide continent which
embraced Greenland, Spitzbergen,
the Arctic Islands of Siberia, and
North America.

THE ASCENSION OF CHRIST.
Lesson for July 3, 1892.
Scripture Lesson : Acts 1:1-12.
Motto Text.—“ When he had
spoken these things, while they be
held, he was taken up ; and a cloud
received him out of their sight.”
(Verse 9).
INTRODUCTION.
We now begin six month’s of study
on the most interesting book in the
New Testament—Acts. It is a his
tory or narrative of the planting and
spread of Christianity, by the Apos
tles, after the death and resurrection
of Jesus Christ. The Book was writ
ten by Luke, as a continuance of his
Gospel, about the year G2or 63.
The narrative begins with the as
cension of Christ, forty days after
his resurrection, and covers a period
of thirty years. This period was
chiefly occupied in preparing the
apostles for disseminating the Gos
by thoroughly convincing them of
the resurrection of the Jesus and of
the true nature of Christ’s spiritual
kingdom—a kingdom henceforth to
be carried on and established upon
earth by the efficiency of the Holy
Spirit, the Vicegerent of Christ upon
earth, who would act mainly through
the services of the apostles.
EXPLANATIONS.
I. The Risen Christ—l-3. In
a former treatise, or narrative, says
Luke, writing to some person of dis
tinction called. “Theophilus” and
alluding to the third Gospel written
by himself, he had related the do
ings and teachings of Christ, from
the beginning of his ministry on
earth, unto the day “when he was
taken up”—or ascended to heaven,
after he had “through the Holy Spir
it” —in conjuction with whom he
acted. He alludes to the incidents
mentioned in Luke 9:57 : 24:51,
and Mark 10:19. For the divine
plan of co-operation between the
Holy Spirit and Christ, see Luke
4:18 ; John 20:22. The “command
ments” which he gave to the apostles
are those mentioned in Matt. 28:19 ;
Mark 16:16; Luke 26-19, which re
fer to the universal dissemination of
the Gospel. And then Luke goes
on to say that Jesus, “after his pas
sion”—or sufferings and death on
the cross, “he showed” or proved
him to be “alive”—and risen from
the dead by many infallible proofs”—
proofs that convinced his disciples of
his resurrection, such as conversing
and eating with his disciples and
permitting them to handle his per
son. They were to be witnesses
throughout all the world, to his
resurrection, and it was necessary
absolutely that they should be thor
oughly convinced of its reality, that
they might preach that doctrine on
which the truth of the Gospel de
pends. It was, also, necessary that
they should comprehend the spiritual
truths relating, or “pertaining” to
Christ’s Spiritual Kingdom, called
here “the kingdom of God,” (1 Cor.
15:5) and, hence, during the “forty
days”—between hia resurrection and
ascension. Jesus instructed the
apostles in regard to those “things”'
or matters, pertaining to his king
dom, by his personal intercourse.
11. His Parting Promise.—4-8.
At length the day for his ascension
came, and he led his disciples forth
from Jerusalem to that part of the
Mt. of Olives, near to Bethany.
Previous to which, however, he bade
them “not depart from Jerusalem,”
but wait there, “for the promise of
their Father”—that divine inspiration
which should accompany, the out
pouring, or coming, of the Holy
Spirit, see Joel 2: 28 ; Zech. 12:10)
“which ye have heard of me”—as re
lated in Luke 24: 49 and John
15:20; 16:13.
T his referred to the outpouring of
the Holy Spirit which would be so
overwhelming that Jesus himself
compares it to an immersion, saying
as John had immersed them in water
so shonld they be “baptized with
(immersed in) the Holy Spirit not
many days hence”—it was, in truth,
just ten days afterwards, at Pente
cost. When baptism is spoken of in
connection with the Holy Spirit en
(in) is always used. (Alvah Hovey.)
Dr. E. 11. Plumtre, in the “Handy
Commentary” edited by Dr. C. J.
Ellicott, Bishop of Gloucester and
Bristol, has the following on this
passage: “Now they were told that
their spirits were to bo as fully bap
tized—i. e.,' plunged into the power
of the Divine Spirit, as their bodies
had been plunged in the waters of
the Jordan.”
It was after they had reached
Mt. Olivet, near to Bethany, that the
apostles on that late occasion, show
ed their ignorance of the spirituality
of Christ’s kingdom, by asking Jesus,
if we was not about to “restore again
the kingdom to Israel”—free the
Jews from the Romans and restore
their former power and prosperity,
referring to a temporal, earthly king
dom, misapprehending the nature of
Christ’s kingdom. (Isa. 1:26; Dan.
7:27 ; Amos 9:11; Micah 4:8.)
Verse 7. “Times or seasons” —
general periods or fixed dates of fu
ture events. Put in his own power
—settled or appointed by his own
authoriiy—kept within his own ab
solute disposal.
But the mother which most im
mediately concerned them, which
the work they had to perform, and
for the efficient performance of
which, they should receive “power”
—of a spiritual nature, or efficiency 7 ,
referring to the requisite endow
ments “from on high” (Luke 24:49)
to capacitate them for being witness
es unto me—my witnesses, to testify
to his miracles, teachings, death, and
ascension, and that he was the Mes
siah in all parts of he earth. (John
15:27 ; Luke 24:48; 1 John 1:1).
HIS ASCENSION TO HEAVEN 9:12.
When he had thus spoken, and
even while in the act of blessing
them with uplifted hands Jesus as
cended into the air and was conceal
ed from their ardent gaze by a cloud.
This happened on the 18th of
May, in the year 30. And, as an
angel said, Jesus will, some time or
other, return in the same manner.
VERY COMMENDABLE.
“The Railway Age and North
western Railroader” published m
Chicago and St. Paul, in its issue of
May 27thj after quoting a notice from
Plano, Texas, that a forty-gallon bar
rel of whisky had been placed with
in three miles of town and the track
laying gang told that the whisky
should be theirs if they had the
trains running to that point by Mon
day night—uses these very com
mendable words:
“Forty gallons of “liquid damna
tion”—hundreds of plain drunks, in
numerable headaches, numerous
fights, perhaps a few murders. These
are wretched rewards to deal out to
the poor fellows who are straining
every muscle to complete that rail
way,
A square .meal, some decent cloth
ing, a little extra pay—either of
these would be far more kindly gifts
to the workmen, whether white or
colored, free men or convicts, than
the rotgut which w ill scar their stom
achs and excite their passions and
leave them poorer and more misera
ble than before.”
Brave, good words, from the “Rail
way Age.”
