Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report
I®
ABSOLUTELY PURE
A REPRODUCTION.
In justice to myself, I have asked
for a reproduction of my comments
on Mr. Dixon’s reply to my article of
May 19th. The reply and comments
were in last week’s issue. Dy the
ommission of some paragraphs, and
the transposition of others, the con
nection and meaning of nearly half
the article were destroyed.
The fault is all my own, and not
the compositor’s, being due to a bad
ly arranged manuscript, and to hur
ried proof reading.—l. R. B.
In this issue (June 23rd) will be
found a reply of Rev. T'hos. Dixon,
Jr., to my article entitled, “The Dix
on Episode,” which appeared in the
Index of May 19th.
The following remarkswill close
up this matter, as far as I am con
cerned.
1. Mr. Dixon denies repudiating the
doctrines of spiritual birth, repent
ance and faith, and says he does not
believe in universal salvation. His
article in the Constitution of May 12>
contained no such modification of
the sentence, “I do believe in the
fatherhood of God, and the brother
hood of man—universal.” Thus stat
ed, it teaches nothing less than uni
versal salvation.
My comments on it were not the
utterances of malice, but of honest
sincere criticism.
While I accept his statements on
this matter, I must say that as he re
affirms his sentence, on the father
hood of God, without defining his
meaning, and follows it with a reaf
firmation of his view of Bible teach
ing about heaven and hell, we are
still in doubt.
2. What Mr. D. repeats about the
character of the members of his con
gregation, does not appear to help
the question of theology.
A sound Baptist preacher ought
to have a majority of sound Baptists
in his congregation, be the number
large or small.
“Like priest, like people.” Out of
a congregation of 3,(100, thvre are
2,000 pedobaptists, according to Mr.
D.’s ratio, of two to one. Indeed,
there is something to think about
suggested by these figures.
8. Counting the number of times the
words heaven and hell are used in
tlie Bible and deciding by the figures
that there is more of heaven and less
of hell to be found there, is simply a
catch, and a delusion. Air. Dixon
seems to intimate by this sort of cal
culation that every time the word
hell is used the way to that place is
barred, and that every time word
heaven occurs, the pearly gates fly
open that all may’ walk in without let
or hindrance.
Many passages in which the word
“heaven” occurs, and which he in
cludes in his “523,” give stronger
hints of “hell” than they do of heav
en. See the following:
“Not every one that saith unto me
Lord, Lord, shall enter into the king
dom of heaven.”
“Except your righteousness exceed
the righteousness of the Scribes and
Pharisees ye can in no case enter
into the kingdom of heaven.”
“Verily, verily 1 say unto you ex
cept a man be born again he can
not see the kingdom of God.”
“Except a man be born of water
and of the spirit he can not enter
into the kingdom of God.”
“Then said one unto him, Lord,
are there few that be saved? And
he said unto them, strive to enter in
at the strait gate; for many, 1 say
unto you, will seek to enter in, and
shall not be able.”
“Enter ye in at the strait gate; for
wide is the gate, and broad is the
way, that leadeth to destruction, and
many there be which go in thereat:
Because strait is the gate and nar-

row is the way that leadeth unto life
and few there be tlgit find it.”
Many more, to the same effect,
might be quoted showing that there
is very much of hell even in many of
those passages where the word heav
en occurs. The subtraction of all
such passages from “523,” would
make it much less.
But these words are indicative of
character and condition, as much, or
more than of place.
Condition depends on character.
If the character is fixed the condition
is likewise fixed.
The parable of the Prodigal Son
is a story of misery and want as a
consequence of sin. lie was, for the
time being, in a sort of premonitory
hell.
From the heights of luxury he was
sunk in the depths of poverty, from
a father’s house to a hog-pen, from
sumptuous fare to the husks refused
by swine, from a peaceful mind to a
guilty conscience. There is much of
hell in this “beautiful parable,” as
there is of heaven. But our brother
has an eye for only one side of it.
The condition of the young man
remained unchanged until his char
acter was changed. He came to him
self, saw his lost estate, repented of
his sin, and asked only for the
place of a hired servant. Then his
condition was changed, because his
character was changed.
But a final permanence of moral
character, the character of those who
finally reject Christ, entails a final
permanence of condition. Let Bro.
Dixon read the parable of Dives and
Lazarus. Let him study the meaning
of that “great gulf-fixed,’’impassable.
Let him ponder the parable of Ten
Virgins, and of the sheep and the
goats, and learn the ultimate destiny
of the different characters represent
ed by them.
The Bible is little else than a iiis-_
tory of sin and of God’s fearful deal
ing with it. It is notapleasing sub
ject to dwell on.
But it is there, in all its blackness,
and its terrible consequences. It
may horrify us. Well, if it does. It
is only then that the sinner in his
helplessness, and his hopelessness,
turns to Jesus as his Savior.
DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear,
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed conditon of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed yon have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
, ing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can bo taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ton are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed codition of the mu
cous su faces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
ars for any case of Deafness (caused
by catarrh) that cannot be cured by

is a new candidate for public favor ;
although only established two years
ago, its success has been remarkable;
last year every room was full, and
this summer new buildings are being
erected to meet the increased de
mand. The secrets of its success
are individual instruction and keep
ing every boarder in the house with
the Superintendent, which ends are
secured by limiting the number of
cadets, Its course is designed to ac
commodate that large class that de
mands a practical education, as well
as the more limited number that
wish to prepare for the higher clos

THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY, JUNE 30. 1892.
SHALL I SEND MY BOY TO MERCER
T here are bright ambitious boys
all over the State. They climb the
mountains from Dade to Rabun,
they roam the fields from Troup to
Richmond, they splash in the marsh
es from Glynn to Decatur. They
are to be found in the quiet country
home—the farmer’s pride and joy;
in the village and countrytown—the
wonder of the community; and in
the crowded city, the prophet of
good or the precursor of evil. What
shall be done with them ? As they
are, are the fitted for life or prepar
ed for usefulness? Could they be
benefitted by a classical education ?
Would life mean any more to them ?
Would the world have any more in
it forthqjn? Would the homes in
which they are being raised be made
any brighter ? Would the country of
which they are so soon to be citizens
be any richer ? Would the Govern
ment under which they must live be
any stronger or safer, and would the
God who made fliem be honored any
more, if these boys had the best edu
cation that is available ?
We know the answer every
thougtful man would give to this
question. From every throat comes
the voice emphasized by the love
and prayer of every earnest heart,
“Educate, Educate, by all meansand
at all cost, educate these boys.”
The next question is, to which
school or college shall they be sent?
I presume the reader is a Baptist. I
am addressing my argument and ap
peal to Baptist parents. 'The first
consideration is the merits of the boy.
Though all else be everything that
is desired, if an education is gained,
at the cost of morality, sobriety and
virtue, it is too dear. The institution
may have prestige and influence and
a history and splendid equipment,
yet if it be lacking in that standard
of morals which is so needful to ex
cite youthful aspirations and to
guard youth character the idea of
sending the boy to that place should
not be entertained for one moment.
Is there a better place for religious
instruction, for moral protection, for
the discipline of conscience, for the
cultivation of the moral faculties
than your own denominational col
lege? Its foundation stone is truth
as revealed in the Bible. Its corner
stone is Jesus Christ, the Son of God
and the Savior of sinners. Its doors
open towards immortality and its
light shines upon the path of right
eousness. Its plan an fl purpose are
the conception of the divinely illumi
nated minds of men who founded
and built, and fastened and patron
ized it with overwhelming intention
of glorifying God and blessing
mankind. And in all its history it
has not swerved or wavered from
that line. It is still orthodox in its
faith, true to its mission and loyal to
the truth. For a Baptist, for all
Baptists in Georgia, it matters not
what may be his profession or poli
tics or possession, Mercer University
certainly is the college to which ho
should send his son.
The moral advantages are admit
ted and it is conceded that its edu
cational facilities are not inferior to
any other. Its standard of scholar
ship is not lower than the best col
leges in the land. Its instructors
are as proficient and skilled as any.
Moral and mental culture are the
chief ends aimed at. Does any
other college propose to do better in
in respect to these than your own
college ?
Now consider the matter of ex
penses, and as figures are easily
read and as they have an immense
and convincing meaning I give a
tabular statement of expenses for an
economical and liberal life at Mercer
University for one session of eight
and one-half months.
Economical. Liberal.
I Matriculation fee..... $15.00 $ 15.00
Contingent fee 5.00 5.00
Board 70.00 125.00
Washing 10.00 12.00
Lights 5.00 7.00
Fund 5.00 7.00
Books 8.00 10.00
Incidentally t.oo 0.00
$125.44 $190.00
Students here in college now have
made the year decently and respect
ably on the smaller sum as set
forth above, while others have spent
more than the larger sum. Yet the
extravagant boy has not always been
the better student, nor has he always
been the more profited by the freer
use of money. Too much money is
injurious. It injures the parents
purse at home and often injures the
student’s standing in the college.
Moral culture, mental discipline
and money-cost are all favorable to
your own denominational college.
•There is yet one other question.
Docs your denominational school
promise a future of equal prominence
and success ? There may have been
a time, when professional and official
promotion was hindered, to some ex-
tent, by the fact that the aspiring
young man had been educated at
a denominational college, but that
time has passed. Loyalty to one’s
church or creed is no longer a bar
rier to public favor. But on the con
trary the public mind has been so
instructed that the people have but
little respect for the man who has
little regard for his religious convic
tions. They reason thus, a man who
has no church preferences can have
but very weak and poorly defined
preferences for political platforms,
and if the man is not loyal to his
church, neither would he be loyal to
his party. If the prospect of promo,
tion would lead a man to neglect the
institutions of his church, the prom
ise of an office would induce him to
forsake the principles of his party
The verdict of the public is this:
The man that is true and loyal to his
church can be relied upon in his
party affiliations.
Since moral culture, mental discip
line, monetary cost and public appre
ciation are all favorable to your de
nominational college, should you not
then, as a citizen, as a Christian and
as a Baptist send your son to the col
lege that belongs to your denomina
tion ? Make reply to this question
by helping the trustees and faculty
of Mercer secure a larger attendance
than has ever been had in all its his
tory. Turn the boy’s eyes this way,
turn his feet this way, turn his head
and heart this way and then follow
him with your prayers and help the
institution make of him what the
church and state earth and heaven
most desire—a man.

Fort Gaines.—On the 19th inst.
the beautiful church at Fort Gaines
was dedicated. There was a fair
representation from the neighboring
towns, Dawson, Shellman, Cuthbert,
Georgetown, Eufaula and Columbia,
and from lhe villages and county.
President Ntuinally, of Mercer Uni
versity, preached the sermon to t]ic
satisfaction of everyone. Dr. W. 11.
Patterson, of Dawson offered the
dedicatory prayer. The occasion
was one of interest and profit to
them that love the Lord. Bro. F.
T. Weaver and his zealous flock de
serve credit for what they have done
and we doubt not but they will be
greatly blessed in this beautiful offer
ing to the Lord. The attendance
did not meet the preparation of the
brethren for entertaining Dr. Nun
nally gave the congregation at
night another strong and interest
ing sermon.

sores healed, and 1 am now in better

LIFE OF SPURGEON.
A NEW PREMIUM.
By an arrangement with the publisher, in '
Boston, the Christian Inpex is to use as I
a premium the now Use of Spurgeon, the
great London preacher, as written by another
great preacher, the Rev. George C. Lorimer
1). D„ of Boston.
Dr. Lorimer enjoyed specif) opportunities
to become personally acquainted with Mr.
Spurgeon, having met him many times, dur
ing twenty years, visiting him at his home
on Beulah Hill, observing his manner of life,
listening to his happy sayings and his devout
utterances, becoming acquainted with Ids
habits of thought and his inodes of work, with
