have been fortified by missions
abroad. Foreign Missions have fur
nished us again and again with fresh
testimony to the power of the cross
to enlighten and save the most de
praved men as found in the most un
favorable circumstances. The tro
phies of grace, which come to us
from the heathen fields are unmis
takable and unanswerable. Foreign
Missions have forced upon the world
the study of comparative religion,
and by contrast have commended
Christianity to the world, at home as
well as abroad.
Also, the forces of the Lord’s
army at home, have been greatly
strengthened by the heroes and her
oines of the Cross abroad. .Mission
ary characters have stood like tow
ers of strength and light, and have
shone the more brightly for the
dark back-ground of heathenism.
Theodore Parker, it is said, rose
from reading the life of Judson, and
exclaimed that if Foreign Missions
had produced but one such hero, all
expenditures in that direction would
have been justified. These charac
ters as seen by the whole world have
done very much to silence critics,
and to reinforce the energies of the
home church. The Foreign Mission
Enterprise has been largely the de
veloping cause in the present en
larged beneficence of the Christian
world. Education in liberality for
Foreign work reacted naturally ami
necessarily upon the church at
home. The greatest stimulus ever
felt in giving to the Lord, has been
in connection with Foreign Missions
and this became educative. The
millions that now flow annually in
many directions, of Christian work
come largely from the spirit of giv
ing inspired aud fostered by Foreign
Missions. J. Herndon Garnett.

Slot X CITY, IOWA.
Although I have been absent from
my native state for more than a doz
en years, I feel an abiding interest in
all that concerns her welfare, reli
gious and otherwise, hence the In
dex is ever a welcome visitor to my
home. It is peculiarly pleasant to
shake hands with many brethren be
loved, as 1 do weekly, through the
columns of your excellent journal.
A very severe winter was follow
ed by the most disagreeable spring
1 have yet experienced, even in the
North West, but we have summer
now in all its glory, and the outlook
is prophetic of unexampled agricul
tural prosperity. Our city is in the
centre of one of the finest corn pro
ducing sections of North America
and “Corn is King.” Last year
lowa produced 1150,000,000 bushels,
and when a few months ago hungry
Russia asked for bread, we sent a
ship load containing 121,450 bushels.
It is gratifying to know that Bap
tists assisted materially in this noble
charity. Sioux City is thoroughly
'Western in its wonderful energy and
enterprise, and its marvelous growth
astonishes the visitor from the older
states. Finer cables, electric, and
motor lines, for rapid transit, I have
seen no where, and our Elevated
Hoad is a marvel.
’l'he press dispatches greatly ex
aggerated the loss sustained by the
recent Hood that submerged one of
our suburbs. Hundreds of humble
homes were injured or washed away
entirely, but the city rose as one man
to repair the loss, and after a month
has elapsed, a stranger would be
much surprised to see so few traces
of the dreadful cloud burst. The
only irreparable loss, was that of hu
man life. Twenty men, women and
children perished. To some of them,
who died in the attempt to rescue
others, a monument will be erected.
Baptist interests are quite prosper
ous, and Baptista are as aggressive
as any denomination in this city of
40,000 inhabitants. The First
Church is the wealthiest and strong
est in the city, and numbers in its
membership many of the leading cit
izens of the community. During my
three years pastorate, 310 have been
added to the rolls, $30,000 have
been given to denominational benev
olence, and $50,000 raised for all
purposes.
In four years I have taken no
summer vacation, three of these
years have been spent with this
people. You may imagine my grat
ification when at a recent church
meeting, my brethren voted me
leave of absence, and friends offer
ed the funds with which to visit
Europe, and if found practicable,
Egypt and the Holy Land. I have
for years desired to see the Old
World, and hope to sail within a
short time now, with a party of con
genial friends. With your permission,
I would like to send special regards
to old friends in Walton and Green
counties, Greensboro and Augusta.

THE LORD’S MONEY.
How to get the Lord’s people to
give the Lord’s money to carry for
ward the Lord’s work, is one of the
most difficult problems with which
we have to do. I take it for grant
ed that all will admit that the Lord
has a claim upon our income, that a
part of our money is his.
But the question to be decided is,
what part of our income should we
give into the treasury of the Lord ?
In the New Testament, which is our
guide in this matter, no definite rule
is given. The law given by Moses
required that a tithe of the gross in
come of all the people be given into
the treasury of the Lord’s house, and
that in addition to the many offerings
that were required. The building of
the tabernacle w'e will observe was
by spontaneous contributions. The
temple, also was erected with a reve
nue secured in addition to the tithes
paid in. It is difficult to determine
what per cent, of their income the
Lord’s people gave to the support of
the cause of God under the Mosaical
dispensation. We do know, how
ever, that their contributions were
made under specific ami definite rules
and that they far exceeded ours.
Giving, under New Testament law is
a matter of conscience so far as the
amount is concerned. 'The nearest
approach to a definite rule is found
in the command of Paul to the
church at Corinth to provide for the
poor by laying by them in store on
the first day of the week as God had
prospered t hem. We are left to con
jecture as to whether this rule should
be applied to all our contributions for
all purposes and I conjecture that it
does not.
But even if it docs, if this rule
should govern us in all our giving,
we yet have much latitude, for it
must be left to the conscience to de
termine whether or not the Lord has
prospered us and to what extent.
What one brother would regard as
prosperity another might think to be
adversity. What one woulS look
upon as an abundant blessing, anoth
er might regard as a very meagre
dispensation. Then, left as we are
without a definite rule to govern us,
with nothing but conscience to guide,
hope to inspire and love to impel us,
the question of getting the Lord's
money from the Lord’s people be
comes one of great proportions.
Many plans have been devised to
“get money for the church.” Many
of them too, if not all of them, are of
doubtful propriety. The good sis
ters vend ice cream, have spelling
B's, tableaux, charades, operas, Ac.,
Ac., Ac., too numerous to mention
i until the patronizing public.are worn
out ami the thing becomes a matter
of ridicule, and then the inventive
genius of the sisters and often the
pastor too is taxed to get up some
thing new, that at least will draw if
it does not entertain, until with the
leaders of the church the whole mat
ter resolves itself into a question of
“how we can best work them” (as
the tricker would say) in order to
get the money we want to carry on
the Lord’s work.
Now, 1 submit tiiat this is not the
best way to get the Lord's money be
cause—
1. It is not ultimately the most
successful way. The revenues se
cured in this way are usually small
and continually decrease until only
very trifling sums are secured.
2. It leaves no blessing with the
contributor, for want of a proper mo
tive. Missions or other moneys
thus seemed may go on to accomplish
their desired end and may prove a
blessing to many, but never blesses
the giver. The Saviour said, “it is
more blessed to give than to receive,”
which is true of those who arc
prompted by a proper motive.
3. It prostitutes the true spirit of
giving and diverts from the gospel
plan.
People soon get to depend upon
such methods to get money for any
and every interest and soon the true
spirit and object of giving is lost
sight of. 1 maintain that such meth
ods are a curse to any church and
community. Let me suggest a more
excellent way.
1. Educate the conscience. Cre
ate a sense of moral obligation. En
list the soul. Diffuse into God’s
people that consuming passion for
souls that moved upon the great
throbbing heart of Christ.
Nothing will loosen a man’s purse
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX; THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1892.
strings quicker nor more effectually
than the love of Christ.
2. Educate the mind. Give inform
ation about the work of missionaries
and their fields. Let the people
know all that can be known about
the various objects to which they are
asked to contribute. Let them know
of the success of the work and its
hindrance. Ignorance of the work
of our churches at home and abroad
is the bane of our people ; not that
we have an ignorant people only
that they have neglected to inform
themselves and those whose duty it
is to instruct, have been silent. A
Baptist wants to know exactly where
his money is going and to what it is
going to be applied. My observation
is, that when the Lord’s people have
been properly instructed with reffer
ence to the various objects to which
they are asked to contribute, their
contribution has been all that could
be asked for.
Let us then away with all doubt
ful and objectionable methods of
raising money. These things hinder
the work of Christian beneficence in
many ways and besides, they are
nauseating.
Let us educate the people to give
upon the merits of the cause and we
will find that we will have solved
the perplexing problem of getting
the Lord’s money from the Lord’s
people. L. N. Brock.

ONE-TENTH.
That every Christian should pay
according to his ability to the sup
port of the Gospel and to Christian
objects, there can be no question.
But how much ought I to give?
Under the Jewish dispensation,
one-tenth was paid. Some one says:
“Under the Gospel dispensation, ac
cording to ability.” Now, what is
my “ability.”
Can 1 not afford to pay, at least,
one-tenth? If the Jews could afford
to pay one-tenth, under the old dis
pensation, can we not afford to pay
one-tenth under the new? If not,
why not? We can afford it. “You
cannot afford not to do it.”
But you say, “I don’t like the
plan.”
I low do you know? Have you
tried it?
Do you know of any one follow
ing this rult that object to it? Do
you know of just ones.
All I know who are paying one
tenth, like it. And, too, the man or
woman who pays one-tenth with the
proper motive will be prospered. Do
you know of a single exception? If
so watch him, he will “rise again.”
Suppose you try the plan; try it for
six months and see how you like it.
Don’t oppose it until you have tried
it—until you have given it a fair
trial.
We ought to give according to
“our ability.” But what is our abili
ty ? I claim it is, at least, one-tenth.
We owe Him everything. Every
thing we have is His—our houses,
lands, our money—all, all belong to
Him. “Give as the Lord has pros
pered you.” But how much must I
gives. If the Lord has given you a
SIOOO salary, you can afford to give
SIOO to His cause. Are you doing
it. If not, why not? “I am too
poor.” Yes, but the Lord loveth a
cheerful giver. The liberal man is
remembered. I have no right to
plead my poverty as an excuse. No
wonder I am poor, when I withhold
my tithes.
You claim to bo an honest man.
Are you honest with your God ? Are
you acting on the square witji Him?
There is such a thing as being hon
est with our fellowmen and dishonest
with God.
Not every man who pays his debts
is an honest man. We ought to pay
our fellowmen every cent we owe
them, but let God's cause be remem
bered first. “I am in debt, and can't
pay anything.”
Yes, but you can. Pay one-tenth
to God's cause and pay promptly and
it will not be long before you can and
will pay your fellowmen. Be just
with God, and I am inclined to be
lieve, you will be just with your fcl
lowmen. I know of a church that
pays its pastor SI,OOO and S2OO to
missions and charitable objects. That
church is doing but little. Why do
I say so ?
There are fouri members whoso net in

One-tenth of that amount would
give $4,240. So if the above church
should give as God prospers, instead
of paying $1,200, it would pay about
$4,000. 1
Suppose the Southern Baptists were
to adopt this rule—that of giving
one tenth, what would be the re
sults ? Our Boards at Richmond
and, Atlanta, would not be in debt;
our pastors would be promptly paid
and our churches would prosper as
never before. I get a salary of
$1,200. I intend from now on to give
one-tenth. Who will join me ?

THE DESCENT OF THE SPIRIT.
Lesson for July 10, 1892.
Scripture Lesson: Acts 2:1-12.
Motto Text.—When he, the
Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide
you into all truth. John 16, 13.
INTRODUCTION.
According to the command of
Jesus the disciples waited patiently,
at Jerusalem, for the promised Spirit,
who was to endow them with pow
ers that would make them efficient
workers in establishing and promot
ing Christ’s kingdom. (Luke 24:49 ;
Acts 1:8.) They waited prayerfully
in some private residence, and on the
tenth day, when pentecost had come,
the wonderful—outpouring of the
Holy Spirit, as recorded in our les
son, took place. Henceforth the
Holy Spirit is to be the immediate
agent in carrying on the work of
Jesus, that is, for promulgating the
Gospel and establishing Christianity
on earth, of xunofc he made use of
the Apostles and other Christian
workers, endowing them with super
natural powers and gifts.
explanations.
I. The Spirit’s Descent.—l-4.
“Pentecost”—was fifty days after
the resurrection, and as that took
place on Sunday, this event took
place on Sunday, (May 28th.) “They
were all”—the 120 disciples, were
“with one accord”—by common con
sent, “in one place”—probably the
upper-room mentioned in Acts 1:13,
and no doubt, engaged in prayer.
“Suddenly”— unexpectedly, there
came a sound from heaven—“that is,
from the sky, “as of’—resembling
the rushing or roaring of a mighty
wind. In reality there was no wind;
but like that fiuule by a
rushing wm<sand tins soAid '“filled
all the house” -Awhere the disciples
were. The sound was heard far and
near, and indicated the presence of
the Spirit symbolically—mighty and
overwhelming; and thus the dis
ciples were “baptized (immersed) in
the Spirit.” (Acts 1:5.) This audi
ble symbol was followed by a visible
one “Cloven tongues” —tongues
parting asunder, distributing them
selves, as when a fiery appearance
divided and distributed itself, in lit
tle flame-like tongues, one resting on
each person in the room. It does
not mean that the tongues were
“cloven,” or forked, but that tongues
of flames distributed themselves
among the disciples. This symboliz
ed the illuminating power of the
Spirit and the gift of tongues to
each.
11. The Gifts of Tongues.—4-6.
They were filled with the Holy Spir
it and began to speak with other
tongues”—or languages, “as the Spir
it gave them utterance”—which
shows that they were under the con
trol of the Spirit. It seems that the
company of believers left the upper
room, after being thus brought un
der the influence of the Holy Spirit
and endowed with such extra ordi
nary ami miraculous powers, and,
being thrown into a state of raptur
ous ecstasy, and speaking in sther
languages than their own, they burst
forth into prayer, praise and thanks
giving to God, for his “wonderful
works.” (v. 11.) in such language**
“as the Spirit gave them utterance.”
Attracted by the roaring sound,
many devout Jews, who are dwelling
at Jerusalem “camo together,” and
were “confounded” perplexed or be
wildered, at hearing their languages
thus spoken—one by one of the dis
ciples, and another by another of
them.
111. The Amazed Multitude.—
7-10. The multitude assembled
“were all amazed and marvelled”—
or wondered, because those who
spoke in such a varied number of
languages, were “Gallileans”—an un
educated and uncultured people.
(Matt. 26:69-73.) Yet every reigner
heard some of these uncultured peo
ple speaking in his native tongue—or
language, and fluently, “the wonder
ful (mighty) works of God”—the
great things done by him for man’s
salvation, such as the incarnation of
Christ. His various miracles, preach
ing, death, resurrection and ascension
and the design of God to save the
world through him.
Fifteen languages or dialects are
specified. “All were amazed”—as
tonished, for, as divinely intended,
the wonderful circumstance attracted
universal attention; and all were
“in doubt”—perplexed, being unable
to account for such 5. wonderful
miracle.
In answer to querie that may sug
gest themselves, the following ex
tracts are given: “The first fact to
be clearly fixed in mind is that the
gift of tongues was purely miracu
lous. No other interpretation is ad
missible. The narrative plainly
states that the disciples praised God
in the various dialects represented
by the motley crowd which, at that
season, thronged the holy city. (Vide
Acts 2. 6.) The “other tongues,’’
therefore, were foreign dialects with
which the disciples were unfamiliar
prior to the day of Pentecost. To
avoid confusion the “other tongues’’
of Pentecost must be distinguished
from the “gift of tongues” mentioned
in the twelfth chapter of First Cor
inthians.”—Rev. Robert Watt.
1. “This was an emergent oppor
tunity. To meet it some of the dis
ciples were enabled miraculously to
speak foreign languages. 2 All
spake under the impulse of the new
induement, and the use of their or
dinary speech was thus supplement
ed with spiritual unction. 3. The
ecstacy of the new experience trans
cended the powers of the subjective
analysis and the limits of language,
hence the noises described as drun
ken jargon. 4. This phenomenal fea
ture so conspicuous on the day of Pen
tecost was quickly superseded by
the superior “gifts” of “revelation
knowledge,” etc. 5. As the spirit
ual experience became subject to
analysis and found appropriate phra
seology, the gift of “tongues” was
neither necessary nor allowable”—
Rev. W. 11. Thompson.
Thomasville.—Having just gone
over the last Index and finding so ma
ny good things from so many good
people, I feel constrained to tell you
that one is greatly refreshed and en
couraged.
Having seen nothing from this
place I felt that our good people are
neglected, especially since much may
justly be said of them in a commend
able way.
lieginning on Friday befefre the
fifth Sunday in May, the Union
meeting of the Western Division of
Mercer Association met with the
Baptist Church here.
The meeting was well attended
and taksn altogether was a profitable
one.
Rev. James Rushin, of Boston, the
sweet singer of our Baptist Israel in
this section, contributed much every
way.
Rev. T. A. White, also of Boston,
the John of this wire-grass region,
was also on hand and by many
sturdy strokes upon many knotty
questions, showed himself “a work
man that needeth not be ashamed.”
1 doubt if you are half aware of the
power of these two ministers.
Bro. A. C. Stephenson and Bro.
Ward were also on hand and ready
for every good word and work.
“The Georgia Baptists Orphan's
Home and our duty to it,” was ably
and successfully presented by Rev.
James Rushin.
This work is, of course, compara
tively new here, but the speech of
Bro. Rushin and the collection of
more than thirty dollars in cash
which followed, showed that al
though comparatively new, was nev
ertheless, not without a host of sym
pathizers. And it is a little comfort
ing to our local vanity to find that,
of the one hundred and eighty dol
lars shown in the last report of Mrs.
Hatcher, not less than sixty dollars
went from Thomasville. We, our
selves, are surprised to see fifty-sev
en dollars sent by Mrs. E. 11. Smith,
the representative of the Orphans’
Home Work here. She works so
silently, that we don’t know where
she is or what she is doing until we
find the figures in Mrs. Hatcher’s
Report. She seems to have come
to the kingdom for this purpose.
We all feci great pride and grati
fication at the glowing evidences of
prosperity, as shown in reports of
college commencements and com
mencement sermons all over Geor
gia. Although you have not heard
of it, we are not out of line at Thom
asville.
South Georgia College has had a
prosperous year, she had a lino ser
mon on Sunday, June sth, by Rev.
Wm. I. Fcazell, of Lake City, Fla.
One College President of twenty
five years experience and practice
said, “That is the most appropriate
commencement sermou I ever heard.”
The closing exercises on the ev
ening of June 7th and Bth were ap
propriate, and we feel sure, appre
ciated by the immense audiences
which greeted us each evening, fill
ing to overflowing the beautiful
chapel, galleries and balconies, and
w-hich testified their appreciation
by rapturous applause.
Nor are we done enjoying good
things. Young Female College of
this place is preparing for a brilliant
display of their year’s work at the
Opera House on Wednesday and
Thursday evenings of next week.
We expect a real treat in the com
mencement sermon which is to be
delivered by Rev. Jno. F. Purser, of
Troy, Ala., who is a great favorite
with our people.
Come, be with us, spend the week,
I believe it will pay. We should be
delighted to have you do so.
