2 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. San Jose, Cal. Written for T'hk Index. FROM IOWA. 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. Fraternally, C. 11. Srickland. June 16, 1892. Writ ten for The Index. FROM MISSISSIPPI. 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. Sardis, Miss. Written for The Index. FROM TEXAS. 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.

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. D. 11. Parker. LONG LIFE Is possible only when the blood is pure and vigorous.
