Atlanta • Dr. J. B. Hawthorne, after preach ing Sunday, leaves this week on’a summer vacation granted him by his church. He will spend, the vacation mostly in Virginia. Dr. Henry McDonald filled his pulpit Sunday morning and had a very fair congregation. Pastor Mitchell, after preaching a series of sermons for Bro. A. E. Keese at Toccoa, came home and filled his pulpit Sunday morning and night and received seven by letter. Bro. Mitchell reports a good meet ing at Toccoa with ten or eleven ad ditions to the church. Pastor Brittian held the usual ser vice at the Central and reported an increase at the Hunter Street Mis sion. Pastor Norcross preached to his people morning and night and re ceived one by letter and baptized one. Dr. A. T. Spalding preached Sun day morning at West End and at Jackson Hill Mission at night. Pastor J. F. Edens has been hold ing meetings at Beech Springs, and received several by letter. Church in good spirit. Bev. W. I. Patrick has returned from an extended trip to the Wire grass section, where he travelled and preached. Pastor W. J. Spears, reported Bro. Oxfords acceptable preaching Saturday and Bro. J. F. Cox on Sun day, whose effort was one of power and influence for good. Pastor Oxford preached at Ira Street Mission, Sunday morning; at 3 p. m. at East Point and baptized one, and again at Ira street at night. The brethren at East Point have purchased a lot, paying part cash and will build as soon as they can. Pastor Stephens reported Bro. W. 11. Bell as preaching for him, a very interesting sermon. Dr. Brittian buried one of his members, Sister Jernigan and has several others who are quite un well. Pastor Sisk filled his pulpit morn ing and night, and had good congre gation. On Tuesday of last week the corner stone of the Southern Baptist college, at Manchester, was laid with imposing ceremonies by the Order of Masons. Dr. J. B. Hawthorne pre sided and made a brief statement of the objects and purposes of the trus tees and those engaged in the work of erecting the building. One of the prominent features mentioned was to build up an ideal community of virtuous and intelligent men and women. The basis of the large structure had been laid and the building is to be pushed on to com pletion, so as to open it for teaching by Septembea 1893. Speeches were made by Architect Rousseau, Bishop Fitzgerald, Hon. John B. Goodwyn, Col. John Temple Graves and Dr. Lee. These were pleasing and above the average for such occa sions. The Manchester Land and Investment Company gave a free barbecue and probably two thousand people shared the pleasures of the day. Assurances were given that the Georgia Military College building would be started soon and finished next year. And Col. Goodwin thought the Odd Fel lows would locate their Orphanage there, and if so build a good home. Mr. W. L. IS tan ton and family now reside on the grounds and have up the frame of what is to be an ele gant residence as has also Dr. J. B. Hawthorne. The the South ern Baptist College is a most beauti ful one, nestling on an elevation amid a young forest that will grow as the college sends out the girls to battle with the realities of life. Let us hope that the work thus begun may bring the wealth of education to thousands of bright and beautiful girls from all over our Sunny South land. SPELLMAN INSTITUTE. Atlanta has long been known as the seat of many fine educational in stitutions for the colored people. Con spicuous among these is the splendid Baptist school. The Spellman In stitute. There were over forty teach ers and 833 scholars last year. They have already eight buildings. But now another one to cost 153,000 is about to be built. The work will be begun immediately.

The Heard County Banner says his dis courses are able.” We expect a good report from this meeting. Pastor Edenfield, with several helpers recently conducted a meeting of one week at Oak Hill church in Screven county. Five were baptiz ed at the conclusion of the meeting. A good brother writes us: “It seems that most of the converts in protracted meetings this year are fe males. The men have their minds too full of politics to be religious. Let as pray for tho men.” On the second Sabbath this month a church was establishad at Emit, Bullock county with about a dozen members who had withdrawn from the Statesboro church for that pur pose. Rev. Wm. Hursey, a mission ary of the Miller Association will be pastor. Rev. J. F.

Irwin is in quite a feeble state of health. lie is with his son who lives near the corner of East Cain and Dunlap St., Atlanta Ga- While not confined to his bed, he remains most of the time, within doors. His condition calls out the warm sympathies and earnest pray ers of Baptists throughout the State. His life has been one of constant la bor and earnest consecration to the service of the Master. ’The Index hopes and prays for his speedy res toration to health. Rev. George Braxton Taylor the popular young pastor of tho first church Macon was elected one of the Board of Managers at tho Young Peoples Convetion in Detroit. Geor gia having no state orguization of Young People those who vere at De troit elected Dr. Burrows to rep resent them. Each state having an organzation sent a young lady With its silken banner to th» platform. Each state representive spike brief ly for his state. After the other ban ners had been sent to tho platform, Dr, Burrows said that the delegates from these States were like the chil dren of poor familllcS at a picnic. There seemed trt bo no place for them, either in the procession or on the band wagon. They had no ban ners and asked to be represented by the United States flag—lifting the stars and stripes. The cheering that followed was immense; the con vention remembering that the States thus represented were in the South. The Messenger reports Lansing Burrows,!). D. speaking on Home Mission” at the young people conven tion as saying ’’The American idea, is, every man has the right to be what God made him without interference from government or ecclesiasticism. This is the best expression of human brother hood. The higher criticism does not bother me much. It is the low er criticism, that sneers at the Bible, and at my effort for a Christian life. We are to seek for the conversion of the young American manhood. I cannot weigh souls, but the conver sion of a young man in America is worth more than that of* any other person in the world. Now don’t misunderstand me. Let a Chinaman come and forsake his idols! You have a soul saved,but he is the same dreamy child of the East. Let a young Amer ican come, andyou’have a man who builds cities and subdues the West, bringing all his energy to the service of tho Lord- His conversion means the conversion of Chinaman. In boyhood days everybody that was born again seemed to be born old; now they are horn young. There wasn’t anything for young people to do. Now we mean to put them at work.” MEETINGS. Rev. J. A. Wynne has concluded a two weeks meeting with his church at Marietta which resulted in eleven accessions to his church.

[A good many questions are sent to the office in Atlanta, and have to be remailed. It would bo better to send direct to mo at Cartersville.] Ought Baptists to co-operate with the American Bible Society of New York, and contribute funds to it? If not, why ? g. s. t. G. S. T. writes in explanation of his question that ho remembers a “few years ago that there was a rup ture between our people and this so ciety on account of its refusal to pub lish the Bible according to the Jud son translation in foreign language. Still they plead for our aid. Shall we help them ?” Our brother has stated the case succinctly, and so atating it has practically answered his own question. Yet it may be well to go a little into details. Bap tists united with other Christians in forming the American Bible Society in 1816, and continued among its warmest and liberal friends till 1835. Judson had translated the Bible into the Burmese tongue, and the version had been printed at the expense of the society. Instead of translitera ting baptizo he translated it by a Burmese word signifying immerse. The board of managers resolved “that in appropriating money for the translating, printing, or distributing of the Sacred Scriptures in foreign languages, the managers feel at lib erty to encourage only such versions as conform m the principle of their translation to tho common English version, at least so far as that all the religious denominations represented in this society can consistently use and circulate such versions in their several schools and communities.” The Baptist Foreign Board at Bos ton was officially notified of this ac tion, and nothing was left but to raise the money and do our own printing. The result was the for mation in Philadelphia, April, 1836, of the “American and Fareign Bible Society.” The leader in the move ment was the Rev. Spencer 11. Cone, D. D., who had been a former Secre tary of the other society. It was declared that the new society was “founded upon the principle that the originals in tho Hebrew and the Greek are the only authentic stand ards of tho Sacred Scriptures, and that aid for the translating, printing, or distributing of them in foreign languages, should be afforded to such versions only as are conformed as nearly as possible to the original text; it being understood that no words are to be transferred which are susceptible of being literally translated.” Reviewing the controversy calmly, one is compelled to say that the New York Society was right in its decis ion as a “Union” society. Baptists should have known at the first, that no union organization could consist ently print Judson’s translation. The Society has never retracted its resolution. About fifteen years ago an effort was made to bring about some action that would enable Bap tists to consistently co-operate with the Society ; and though so distin guished brethren as our own John A. Broadus and Nathan L. Bishop, sought an honorable method of re conciliation, the effort failed. Thus it stands to-day, except that the American and Foreign Bible Society has gone out of existence, and its work has been committed to the va rious mission boards of tho denomi nation. The foreign boards at Rich mond and Boston have charge of all our foreign Bible work. At a great “Bible Convention” held at Saratoga, May, 1883, the home Bible work was committed to the American Bap tist Publication Society. That Soci ety contributes SI,OOO annually to our Richmond board for its foreign Bible work, and does a large amount of Bible distribution within the ter ritory of our Southern Baptist Con vention. These facts sufficiently answer the inquiry of G. S. T. It would seem to be better for self-re specting Baptists to do their Bible guinea A : (Tasteless—Effectual.) | ; For Sick-Headache,: ::Impaired. Digestion,:: ;; Liver Disorders and: :!

Suppose at my house a social gath ering of a mixed crowd, church mem bers and worldlings, I, a member of the church, permit fiddling and danc ing; a good Baptist brother does the fiddling and the parties generally dance, some of them members of the Baptist Church. Now, according to the Baptist usage and custom and of the Scriptural law, who of us are the more guilty ones, the host, the fiddler, or the dancers ? I mean as a matter of course, the church mem bers. “Inquirer.” Inquirer’s question seems to an swer itself. The supposed circum stances would render all equally guil ty. “Baptist usage” differs concern ing this perplexing question. There are Baptist Churches that never dis cipline for dancing, and whose offi cers and members believe it to be an innocent diversion. Other Baptist Churches scarcely discipline for any thing else ! A member may lie, steal, slander, drink, and be un chaste, and he is not brought before the church ;but woe be unto him if he fall into the awful sin of dancing ! We know of no “Scriptural law” on the subject, that is no specific pre cept. The general rule of non-con formity to the world, doubtless for bids everything that tends to dissi pate spirituality. Asa rule we do not find dancing professors of much use in the church. They are usually too much given to frivolty, and worldly pleasure to count much for righteousness. Hence the calm judg ment of evengelical Christians con demns dancing as detrimental to, if not destructive, of piety. This should be tho ground of our opposi tion to it. It may be added that any amusement which even indirectly, tends to immorality, is as sinful for “worldlings” as for “church mem bers.” Morality knows only one rule for all. What would you advise the wo men to do where the pastor opposes the formation of a missionary society in his church ? ‘ A Sister. First of all we would advise them to be very prudent. In this case wo understand the pastor is notan anti missionary. On the contrary he takes up regular collections for mis sions in his churches. He merely doubts the propriety of organizing liis women into separate missiona ry societies. We think he is wrong in opposing such societies, especially as among our Southern women the societies work in harmony with the churches, and not separately from the churches. They report their contributions through the churches or they ought to do so. Still, if a pastor believes such societies to be detrimental to the mission interests in his particular church, he has a right to urge his objections, and his opinion should be respected. The pastor is Christ’s appointed teacher and leader of the cnurch, and no church, or part of the church, should treat him with the disrespect that would be implied in deliberately disregarding his teaching. Better for the ladies to make all their mis sionary contributions through the regular collections of the church. There could be no objection on the part of the pastor to the women meeting together for missionary reading and conculuation. We opine his opposition is to separation of the women from the regular mis sion work of the church. I have searched my concordance in vain to find the text, “in the midst of life we are in death;” Where is it ? j. s. r. Os course you searched in vain, for the sentence is not in the Bible. You will find it in the burial service of the Episcopalians, and also in that of the Methodist Church, which is copied from the former. There is more Catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounce it as a local disease and prescribed local remedies,and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore revuires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Chenney <fc Co., Toledo.

At the recent meeting of the Cen tennial Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention I was appointed “Treasurer,” and the duty assigned, me of collecting and paying over to the Boards the pledges made for Centennial Fund by brethren at the Convention in Atlanta. Dr. Eaton turned over to me the pledges made on scraps of paper and cards, amounting in all to $1237. The list of large pledges taken down by the Secretary of the Convention he did not have, but thought it was in the Secretary’s hands. I have written to Dr. Burrows but he states that that list was turned over to the Com mittee along with the scraps and cards. So lam unable to carry out fully the purpose of the Committee, not being able to secure the list of pledges, I can only say that if breth ren who made pledges will send me the amounts they promised, careful ly designating the object to which they wish the money given, I will carry out their wishes. In case they have paid these amounts through their church or state treasurers, a card notifying me of the fact will be acceptable. A circular letter will be sent to the brethren whose pledges I have in hand. T. P. Bell.
