J. C. McMICIIAEL,:: Proprietor.
TWO GREAT MISSION REVIVALS.
Though far apart in time and
place, yet, they were very much
alike in their antecedents and conse
quents.
One of them occurred in Jerusa
lem, in the year of our Lord, 33. The
other occurred in London, in the
year of our Lord, 1792.
The first was proceeded by a pray
er-meeting, continued through sev
eral days. It began the same day
that Jebus ascended into heaven, and
was continued until the day of Pen
tecost.
The “men of Galilee,” together
with the eleven Apostles, and “the
women, and Mary, the mother of
Jesus, and his brethren” continued
“with one accord in prayer and sup
plication.” Matthias was subsequent
ly added to make up the full num
ber of twelve who were to be wit
nesses of His resurrection.
“When the day of Pentecost was
fully come, they were all with one
accord in one place.” Doubtless
they were assembled for prayer. For
“suddenly there came a sound from
heaven as of a rushing mighty wind,
and it filled all the house where they
were sitting. And there appeared
unto them cloven tongues like as of
fire, and it sat upon each of them.
And they were all filled with the
Holy Ghost, and began to speak with
other tongues, as the Spirit gave ut
terance.”
This manifestation of the Spirit
was in fulfillment of a promise and
an answer to prayer.
The apostles preached the gospel
to the multitudes composed of “de
vout men, out of every nation under
heaven. Everyman heard the Good
News in his own tongue wherein he
was born.
Peter seems to have been the chief
speaker, and under his preaching, the
hearers were “pricked in their heart,”
and cried out,' under conviction,
“Men, brethren, what shall wo do ?”
Peter did not tell them to “join
the church,” but to “repent and be
baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.”
“They that gladly received his word
were baptized; and the same day
there ‘ added about three thousand
souls.”
Notice.—First a prayer meeting.
Second, the answer to prayer in
the out-pouring of the Holy Spirit.
Third, the Apostles, clothed with
power, preach the gospel.
Fourth, sinners are convicted, re
pent, believe, and are baptized in the
n.ame of Jesus Christ.
To sum it up, there was a great
and genuine revival of religion.
Consequence. The multitudes
from every nation under heaven,
who had heard the gospel in their
own tongues, went to their homes to
tell the good news to their kindred
and friends. They were mission
aries to their own people in all parts
of the world.
• • «
The second groat mission revival
had its origin in the same way.
In August, 1784, the ministers of
the Northamptonshire Association
requested all the Baptist churches in
England to spend one hour a month
“in earnest, united prayer for the
promotion of pure and undefilod re
ligion.
That was the first groat object of
their prayers. Then was added this
exhortation:
“Let the spread of the gospel to
the most distant parts of the habita
ble globe be the object of your most
fervent requests.”
This was the origin of the month
ly concert of prayer for foreign mis
eions.
It really seems that God began to
answer their prayers almost as soon
as they began to pray. A powerful
impetus was given to this movement
by a sermon preached byAndrew Ful
ler on the theme, “The Gospel
worthy of all acceptation.”
William Carey was converted, and
baptized Oct. 1783. Moved by the
Holy Spirit, he immediately com
menced preparation fur the great
work of his life. Upon the walls of
the shop in which he made shoes, he
hung sheets of paper pasted together,
and upon them constructed a map
of the world showing its religious
condition. Adding diligence to bis
native gifts he rapidly acquired a
knowledge of several languages.
Deeply stirred by the desire to car
ry the Gcapel to the heathen through
bis zeal the Baptist Society for prop
agating the Gospel among the heath
en was/organized Oct 2, 1792.
Let it not be forgotten that the
montidy concert of prayer, and the
trgatrizatiou of the Missionary So-
ciety, had its origin among the coun
try pastors.
The London ministers had little
faith in the success of the movement,
and looked upon it with disfavor.
In June, 1793, Carey set sail for
India. He was fortunate in having
for his companion, Dr. Thomas,
formerly a surgeon in Bengal. Dur
ing the voyage of five months, Carey
was not idle, but spent the time in
studying Bengali with Dr. Thomas,
and in beginning a translation of the
Bible into that language. In a few
years the whole Bible was in circu
lation in that language. This was
only one of thirty-six complete or
partial translations made by Carey
himself.
Notice.—As in the first graet
mission revival, so in this. It began
in a prayer meeting, followed by the
presence of the Spirit, the preaching
of the gospel, and a revival of relig
ion.
Consequences.—A revival of the
missionary spirit, the formation of
missionary societies all over the
world, a gradual increase in contri
butions, until to-day it amounts to
millions, the translation of the Bible
into more than 250 langucs and dia
lects, thousands of missionaries in
foreign fields, hundreds of thousands
converted heathen, and Christians,
all over the world, moved today, as
never before, by their obligation to
obey the Great Commission, and to
“go into all the world, and preach
the gospel to every creature.”
Learn.—Prayer, the presence of
the Spirit, earnest preaching of the
gospel, a genuine revival of religion
in the hearts of Christians, the needs
of the world laid before them, and
the work of missions will move for
ward with irresistible power.
OUR DAY AND ITS DEMANDS.
The present is an age of mar
vellously quickened intellectuality.
There is a restlessness as ceaseless as
the billows of the tireless sea in every
department of human thought. Nev
er before was mind so free from fet
ters. There is an iconoclastic ten
dency everywhere which hesitates
not to attack the most venerable and
venerated idols. Creeds ami preju
dices, though hoary with the assent
ami reverence of ages, no longer dom
inate the intellect unchallenged. In
fallibility is felt to be a figment.
Neither of Pope nor ages is it true.
Church and state alike feel the
ground-swell of this spirit of inquiry.-
The world has reached a period
when nothing receives the unques
tioning homage of the soul; when
every institution, every system, every
doctrine, every principle, must prove
its right to be. Axioms even are
well nigh things of the past!
In vain does a timid conservatism
cry out against the age. Radicalism
and rationalism are in the very air
we breathe. Nor should our faith
and hope tremble at the storm mut
terings. Superstition may bo the
child of ignorance and repression of
thought. Intelligent faith scorns so
ignoble parentage. It is born only
of true wisdom and understanding.
Alas, that in this general unrest some
break loose from all moorings, and
with no compass— human or divine
—are hopelessly “driven with the
wind and tossed.” Alas, that so
many, breaking away from the base
less traditions which have bound
them, also ignore the rock founda
tion truths of religious faith and
would make shipwreck of every hope
and stay of morality and society—of
time and eternity. Because they see
Christ only as ho is presented in the
puerilities of Roman Catholicism
thousands of the priest-ridden are
launching out on the shoreless sea of
skepticism. This is the key to that
sad infidelity which reigns over the
cultivated intellect of France and
Italy, Spain and Mexico.
But there is no need of alarm.
There must be the uprooting of the
old ere the soil can be ready for the
new. Christ's glorious gospel is des
tined to win the race. 'The storm
may be terrible in its fury, but its
very violence is nature's means for
purifying of the atmosphere. One
of the fundamental postulates of Ar
istotle was, that in order to find
truth one must first learn to doubt
well. The soul cannot long rest con
tent in mere negation. It longs af
ter the positive. Stretching out, in
the dark though it be, the sold soon
er or later feels its need of the di
vine. It finds an unsatisfying void
in unbeliefs and must find something
on which to fix its faith and hope.
Here is the opportunity of truth.
Christ clearly, faithfully, lovingly
presented, will win the erring and
the drifting. ,
And yet the sober thought of to
day, yearning for the wellfare of
mankind, cannot but feel a degree of
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY, JUNE 30. 1892.
anxiety. We ask with some solici
tude : “Out of all this restless activity’
—what ?”
Certainly the inquiry should awak
en Christ’s true followers to a dili
gence unknown in any previous day.
And thank God, it has awakened
them to some extent. Never before
was the army of King Immanuel so
compactly marshalled for the con
flict. Never before was the church
so alive to her great responsibilities
and opening opportunities. We are
not what we ought to be, nor or we
doing what we should to speed
the kingdom of our Lord. Still in
this centennial year of missions there
is a mighty quickening of Christian
thought and activity, which promises
much for the cause of Christ.
The hour calls for men and wo
men prepared to meet the necessities
of the hour—for men and women fit
ted by a culture and training that
shall foster a wise conservatism,
while at the same time it encourages
a real independence of thought. The
hope of the future, under God, de
pends upon those who can rise to the
height of their grand opportunity,
ami who can discharge their duties
with reverence for God and hope for
humanity.
ADDING TO THE CHURCHES.
Our churches are approaching
their actual season of “revival meet
ings,” and we sin cerely hope the col
umns of the Index will bear witness
to many refreshings granted to our
churches throughout Georgia. We
rejoice that if even once a year our
zion is visited from on high. It is
well to believe in and labor and look
for a “set time to favor Zion,” and
for the “harvest season.” And yet
did not the Master bid his disciples
regard all times as harvest seasons
in the spiritual field ? This seems
to be the special point of our Lord’
words to the perplexed disciples by
the Samaritan well: “Say not ye,
there are yet four months, and then
cometh harvest? Behold I say unto
you, lift up your eyes, and look on
the fields, that they are white al
ready unto harvest.” (John 4:35).
And is not the “set time to favor
Zion”* whenever her citizens “take
pleasure in her stones ?” That is to
say, all times may be times of favor
and of growth if our churches but
will them to bo.
In the inspired history of the es
tablishment of the faith, we read
that “the Lord added ti> them day
by day those that were saved.”
(Acts 2:47.). We quote the Ameri
can Revised Version. Hero we have
the normal law of church increase.
Day by day ai;e souls converted to
be gathered into the fold. There is
in the Scriptures no warrant for the
mischievous unwritten law govern
ing so many churches which expect
no ingathering until the annual pro
tracted meeting is held. Indeed we
fear there are scores of churches that
would be astonished beyond measure
to find the saved applying for mem
bership day by day throughout the
year. The churches are not expect
ing such a state of growth, and con
sequently are in no condition to wel
come converts. In the gracious
economy of divine providence, babes
are usually given to families prepar
ed to welcome them. Now and then ;f
w aif may be laid on the door step of
some home not readily opened for
its reception. God gives his churches
new-born souls when they are anx
ious for them. 'This appears to be
the general law of the kingdom of
grace.
Notice the emphases of the state
i ment quoted from the Acts. It rec
ognizes the Lord as the source of
spiritual growth. He added souls to
the church. Let us never forget this
fundamental truth. It is the basilar
stone of evangelic doctrine concern
ing church increase. “Except the
Lord build the house they labor in
vain who built it.” Theoretically
Baptists are sound in this faith. We
emphasize the great truth that “sal- I
vation is of the Lord.” We insist
upon the apostolic teaching that
Paul and Apollos were only minis
ters through whom men believe even
as the Lord giveA to every one. (1
Cor. 3:5). Yet how frequently' wo
seem to lose sight of this great truth
in our feverish and ill-concealed de
pendence upon modern methods of
“revivalism.” Alas, we forget too
frequently that the Holy Sppirit is the
only true “revivalist.” Well will it be
with our churches when they more
earnestly believe in and seek after
that revival power w hich comes only
from heaven.
We would not be misunderstood.
We neither ignore nor underrate the
instrumentalities used by the Lord in
carrying forward his work. His
churches and his ministers are his
chosen agencies for the extension of
his kingdom in the earth. The
preaching of the gospel he has or
dained unto the saving of souls (1
Cor. 1:21). Thus believing we are
encouraged to preach the word,
knowing ever that that “gospel is the
power of God unto salvation to every
one who believes.” Herein we have
ground and incentive to untiring and
earnest activity. Through our word
and work God shall day by day add
the saved to the churches.
Nor let us fail to emphasize the
divine will that only those who are
saved are proper material for church
membership. The churches are not
hospitals for the sick, the halt, the
blind. No, they are the homes of
the children of God who have been
regenerated by the Holy Spirit. In
their feverish anxiety for members,
many are tempted to let down the
bars between the church' and the
world. Not of the “wood, hay, stub
ble of unregenerate humanity is the
house of God to be constructed ; but
of the “gold, silver, precious stones”
of converted souls. All else will be
burned in the fire of the testing day
Let us gladly welcome into our chur
ches every humble and trusting, even
though consciously imperfect and
timid, disciple of our Lord; but let
us not violate the inspired normal
law of church growth by knowingly
or carelessly bringing in the unsav
ed.
DOCTRINAL INSTRUCTION.
At a recent meeting was discussed
the query as to whether our distinc
tive doctrines should be taught in
the Sabbath-school. If you will read
the article of President Manly in the
Baptist Teatcher, upon Baptist doc
trines in the lessons of the present
quarter, you will see that teachers
should do their full duty in the mat
ter of doctrinal instruction. It is
not only their duty, but teachers
should make careful and thorough
preparation to teach doctrine.
In the lessons of this quarter, re
lating chiefly to the early apostolic
history, we naturally expect distinc
tive pictures that should find their
counterparts in our church life and
work, if we are really maintaining
New Testament polity and practice.
No principal is more thoroughly
characteristic of the New Testament
dispensation than|that is one “of the
Spirit and not of the letter; “that
spiritual life must precede all accept
able worship and service; that the
power of <l"p«*vds
not on human in itruction or careful
disciplinary training, but on the pos
session of living union with Christ
through the indwelling Spirit ; that
individual responsibility, both in the
reception of divine influence and in
the use of them in the Master’s ser
vice, is to be specially emphasized ;
that a church is a living organism,
providing in its unity for every va
riety of power and service; that
rites and ceremonies, to be of any
value to those who observe them or
in the sight of God, must be expres
sions of obedience to the divine will,
and hence of right spiritual rela
tions.
Detailed examination of the les
sons will show bow one or the other
of these important truths is present
ed for our learning. In Lesson 1. a
leading truth is (chap. 1:8) the neces
sity of spiritual qualifications for 1
witness-bearing. Even personal in- I
timacy with our Lord himself, and I
careful instruction received from '
him while on earth, could not take ;
the place of the actual reception of i
the personal influence of the Holy I
Spirit coming to the disciples as a‘
gift from the risen and ascended ■
Christ. In this day of elaborate in- ,
dividual training and extensive co- j
operative combination, in order to I
secure great success this needs to be
constantly remembered.
GOD.
The Sacred Volume certainly
opens in away worthy of its claim to '
a divine origin j “In the beginning I
God created the heaven and the '
earth. And we have often question- '
ed whether in the whole compass of
literature any comment on this pas
sage rises nearer to its quality of '
terse comprehensiveness than Dr. I
Murphy’s: “This simple sentence de
nies Atheism, for it assumes the be
ing of God: it denies Polytheism,
for it confesses the One Eternal Cre
ator ; it denies Materialism, for it
asserts the creation of matter; it de
nies Pantheism, for it assumes the
existence of God before all things and
apart from them; it denies Fatalism: '
for it involves thy freedom of the [
Eternal Being.” How many false- i
hoods of satan which have ruled or
perplexed the mind of the race through
long ages, the pen guided by inspi
ration sweeps away at a single stroke!
That first sentence can never grow ,
old: in the light of the errors it de
nies and of the fact that these very
errors are the chief antagonists of di
vine truth in our own times, it looks
as though that sentence might have
been written to-day for the men of
to-day, so pertinent is it to the pres
ent needs of the world. Christians
may well cling to the God of the
Bible and to the Bible of God, and
feel no fear that any weapon which
unbelief under the name of science
or of culture may form against the
two shall prosper. AVhy should we
fear, 'when Prof. Huxley, the champ
ion of the unbelief that flaunts those
names, declared in 1866 that Atheism
is more incredible than miracles, and
that it is easier to accept the latter
than to believe the former? We do
not need that declaration, indeed, to
make us bold to speak our faith; but
unfaith has many blatant advocates
whom it ought to silence.
OUR YOUNG EOLKS,
“Blackwood’s Magazine” dips its
brush in very dark colors, when it
undertakes to paint the portrait of
young people in this country. It
says : “The boys and girls grow up
like half broken colts and fillies.
They are headstrong and apt to take
the bit between their teeth ; they
shy, and balk, and bite, and kick,
and buck-jump; their mouths are
wretched ; they interfere, over-reach
and stumble.” Os course, this is
rather the exaggeration of satire than
the calm deliverance of sober judg
ment. But English writers speak so
often of the insubordination and law
lessness of our youth as to justify the
apprehension that the bonds of fam
ily discipline may be relaxed among
us to a degree which we do not our
selves recognize. Trollope, for in
stance, after his visit to the United
States, wrote : “Fathers and moth
ers in America seem to obey their
sons and daughters naturally, and as
they grow old become the slaves of
their grandchildren.” Another ex
treme statement, doubtless; but why
should the verdict be so unanimous
and so strongly worded, if there is
really no ground for it ? Parents,
and especially Christian parents, may
well lay this matter to heart, and
faithfully, even sternly, call them
selves before the bar of conscience
and of Scripture on an inquisition
into their own discharge or neglect
of duty in the premises. An error
here is vital; the years when chil
drerl are subject to paternal Control
arc in fact, for most, the turning
point of character and destiny for
this life and the life to come ; and if
that control is not put forth consci
entiously, patiently, prayerfully, the
issue, wrought by the parents them
selves may be an evil life and an
eternal destruction. Oh, let us all
seek the'wisdom which is from above,
lest, having given being, we make it
a curse!
REV. THOMAS DIXON, JR.
There is no need of an angry feel
ing in discussing the question,
Whether the Baptists of Atlanta,
had sufficient reason for upholding
their pulpits from this brilliant but
erratic preacher ? It is not at all a
question of personal likes or dislikes,
but of naked principle. And here
are facts which seem to us ab
oslutely decisive of it. About a
year ago, his brother, Dr. A. (?. Dix
on, who as nearly as any man liv
ing, may be accepted as a represen
tation of Baptist theology, gave from I
his pulpit a temperate and truthful
estimate of Henry Ward Beecher,
lamenting the inconsistencies and :
vagaries that marked and marred
the later ministry of the Brooklyn
divine. Thereupon Thomas rushed
voluntarily into print, to proclaim
and to emphasize his dissent from
his brother's views. He wrote a let
ter to “the New York Advetiser,”
in which he said that he and his
brother “are not of the same theo
logical family or school,” that “the
English language fails to express his
contempt for” his brother’s theologv;
that what is “called modern ‘ortho
doxy’ ” is a “system of infernalism;”
and that “the more he sees of such a
theology the more he hates it with
eternal hatred, and the more earnest
ly does he promise his Father in
heaven to do his little part in rid
ring the world of such a pestilence.”
He said also that if Beecher is in hell
he “hopes to go there” too! Now,
surely the pnlpits built for, built by
this “theology,” this “orthodoxy,’’
may well close themselves against
the man, who broke the silence he
might have kept, to repudiate (and
may we not say to revile ?) it in ;
this harsh style, no matter what ad
miration may be awakened* by his
gifts, nor what love various personal
qualities may win for himself.
GRUMBLING.
Goethe once said that he admired
the man who knew precisely what
he aimed at in life. We wonder if he
would have felt any admiration for
the Japnanese who, when asked what
he was born for, replied, “to eat rice
and to grumble ?” That test would
have been too much probably for
his profession ; would have furnish
ed a case of the camel’s back broken
by the first feather. It is hardly
possible, we fancy, for grumblers to
admire themselves, unless where
they clothe their grumbling in the
guise of integrity, protesting against
wrong or of religion bearing witness
for the right. And if they cannot,
how can any body else admire them,
since that guise discerns only those
who put it on ?
GOD'S CHOICE CUR'S.
The Rabbis tell us that the stand
ard of each tribe when marching
through the wilderness answered in
color to the color of the precious
stone representing that tribe on the
breast-plate of the high-priest.
5V as this because the heads of the
tribes piously determined that God’s
choice for them in that matter
should be their own choice for them
selves ? Oh, for grace to let God
choose for us in all things,—from
the things that are greatest as re
gards the soul’s welfarfe to the things
that are least as regards our earthly
lot!
VICE.
We have seen somewhere the
seatement that a man of distinction
spoke of the “Bad Lands” in Dakota,
as a picture of hell with the fires put
out.” Much more reasonably might
we see in the evil haunts of our cit
ies pictures of hell with the fires just
lighting up.
The times in which we live do not
need nor demand a new gospel.
They do need the old gospel preach
ed with new zeal, and with unshaken
faith in its truth and power. The
gospel of humanity can never take
the place of the gospel of the atone
ment and the resurrection and the
mansions in the skies, we have not a
tremor of missgiving as to the suc
cess of the gospel whenever and
wherever it is faithfully proclaimed.
If we would get the ear of the
crowds of bright young men and
women whom our schools are send
'ing out into active *fe we would sev,

However brilliantly you may have
graduated, be sure that the plodders
will outstrip you in the race for
life’s prizes l lest you keep at work.
Perpetual diligence is the price of
success.
He who gives himself without re
serve to the divine guidance will
find compensations which will amply
repay all apparent and real pri
vations. God’s purposes concern
ing us are infinitely better than our
own little plans.

GATHERED AND CONDENSED.
The Board of Trustees of Furman
University, conferred the degree of
LL. D., on Hon. C. W, Ward, of
Birmigham, Ala., a distinguished
lawyer, and DD. upon Rev. J. B.
Gambrell, of Mississippi.
At Kelly’s Creek Baptist Church
in Tennessee, a new association was
recently organized, and named the
William Carey Association. The
East Tennessee Baptist Sunday
School Convention meets at Harri
man, Tenn., July 19th to 21st.
The members of the Baptist Min
isters’ Conference of Louisville, Ky.,
commend our brother, Isidore Bro
sel, a converted Russian Jew, now
taking a course in the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary, as
worthy of their esteem, confidence
and practical sympathy. They also
believe that churches inviting him to
deliver his lecture, “Peasant Life
in Russia,” will not only help him to
finish his seminary course, but will
be greatly benefitted and repaid by
the instruction and entertainment
offered.
The tenth general conference for
the promotion of Christian Life and
Service will be held at East North
field, Mass., from August 4th to 15th
in st.
We are glad to note that our
young brother 11. W. Province, son I
of Rev. S. M. Province, of Monti
cello, Fla., won the Greek Scholar
ship medal in Richmond College,
The medal was endowed by the
late Col. Win. E. Tanner, of Rich
mond, and is awarded to the grad u .
ate in Greek, who attains the highest
standing.
Dr. Throgmorton, of Mo., has ac
' cepted a call to the church at Fort
Smith, Arkansas, and will enter on
his work about the middle of Au
gust.
A City Set on a Hill.—Build up
on the Mountain. It is the city built
up on the mountain that cannot be
bid. If you would let your light
shine build high up.
“In the Heart”—the sin maybe
committed. If a lustful look contain
in itself the element of adultery
what catalogues of sins our thoughts
must contain.
“Do Not Bi.ow a Trumpet,”—if
it be to tell what benevolent things
you’ve done. Every man carries the
trump with which to sound his own
fame ; but it is best to keep it from
your lips. But blow up the trumpet
for your Lord.
You Have Need.—You and I
and all otlWrs have our needs. We
were always needy and always will
be. It is a bad sign when ones soul
thinks he has need of nothing.
Times of need should be asking
times. The need comes that we
teach ourselves to ask. The Father
knows that we have need, and is a
Father that he may help.
Go Into Your Closet.—You go
three times a day into your dining
room. You spend half your life in
your bed-chamber. How often do
you go into the private place of
prayer. The Father hears the one
that seeks him in the closet.
Do Nor Employ “Pollylogues.”
—Many think they will be heard for
their much-speech. The verbose
man who thinks -his much-speech a
recommendation, would make a
good Baal-worshipper, but he knows
little of Elijah’s God. Let the pol
lylogue go.
The Mote and the Beam.—With
that great beam in your own eye,
your vision is very imperfect. True
you see the jnote in a brother’s eye,
but the task is too delicate a one for
you to try to take it out. First get
the beam out of your own eye. Cor
rect your own big faults and then you
will understand better how to lu-lp
your brother to get rid of his little
one. Till that is done, let his alone.
Moth and Rust.—Very little
things destroy our greatest
treasures; but only when they
are stored up here. There is a
world where we may store them,
into which no moth or rust has ever
come. It is a task, however, to lay
it up there.
Some never undertake it, and will
someday be very poor.
Few There Bi: That Find It.
And yet it is nigh them. It is even
in their mouths and in their hearts
and yet they never find it. If it be
a door, they grope all around it and
yet never enter in. If it be a road
they take all other paths and some*
how never enter this one.
Figs Fuom Thistles.—You nev
knew one to* go among the thistles
looking for figs; nor expecting to
pluck a bunch of grapes from a
thorn bunch. And yet w ill listen to
false teachers, and expect a holy
Christian science (so-called) and
from ‘theosophy’ etc.
