4 ©he ©ftriettan Jntlcx Published Every Thursday at B7'A 8. Broad Street, Atlanta. Ga. heretic hunting. In the August number of the Homiletic Review is a wise and well written article on “Heretic Hunting and Heresy Trials,” from the pen of Rev. J. B. Remensnyder, D. D., of New York city. It is truly declared that theological unrest is the charac teristic of the time. Nor should we regret this, for unrest is the insepara ble condition of progress. Stagnation tion of thought is mental death. The original thinker cannot be content to restin a staid conservatism or a petri fied orthodoxy. This unrest is not only the condition of progress in religious thought; it is, none the less, essen tial to religious life. Dr. Parkhurst is opprovingly quoted as saying in a recent sermon : “Storms in the theological world are as essential elements as tempests and Cataclysms in the history and growth of the natural world. This is a live world, and it is a growing world. Growth is bound to produce rupture. If something grows, some thing has got to give way.” This thought is illustrated in the production of the historic creeds of Christendom. “Theology had grown. The Christian consciousness travail ed with new development, richer tnd deeper, of God’s truth. Then, ever amid storm and conflict, a new article of faith would be born to be enshrined forever in the Christian treasures.” The writer then proceeds to show how “the periods of stir in theologi cal thought, as in the Augustinian controversies, and the sharp pole mics of the Reformation, have also been the periods most fruitful for practical religion. N ever was there inore earnest personal piety, never was Christianity a more potent so cial and moral factor, and never did the church make greater progress than under these conditipns. A judi cious conservatism is not, then, un duly apprehensive as to theological unrest. It places no fetters upon the mind save those of logical pro cess. It shrinks from no legitimate criticism. It produces eminent the ological thinkers. “This position is maintained by the fact, that nowhere has large grasp of thought and elab orate breadth of structure been more clearly seen than in the authors, from whose minds and pens have come the standard systems of con servative theology. They bear wit ness to mental power and freedom. “No systems bearing such marks of profound and patient thinking have ever sprung from the rationalists. Amid the throes of present struggle there have emerged three great structures of systematic theolo gy, those of Hodge, Shedd and Strong, towering high and calm over the remaining religious literature of the century.” The good doctor might have added to the list the names of our own Boyce and Dagg, whose systems of theology are mon uments to the piety and thought that gave them birth. Dagg, Strong, Boyce, a Baptist trio of whom we have no reason to be ashamed ! Having thus prefaced his argu ment, Dr. Remensnyder proceeds to show up, in their true colors, those secular and religious journals which assume that “orthoddxy is the invet erate foe of theological inquiry, and that the moment an original thinker arises, it seeks to hush him with the cry of Heresy.” The Rev. Dr. Washington Gladden is quoted as having said .iat “the quickest way to fire church enthtraiasm is not to show it a poor sinner for it to con vert, but a poor heretic for it to sniff after and run down.” This is really but a travesty of the past. Facts show it to be a cruel carica ture. “But when a minister, who, in his ordination, has voluntarily ob ligated himself to teach nothing con trary to the Scriptures and to the cardinal tenets of the Christian sys tem, takes positions, and persistently and offensively proclaims them, which in the judgment of the Church are subversive of the very founda tions of Christianity, is not her duty manifestly clear ? Can she, with fl delity to her Lord, with loyalty to the pure Gospel, and with conscien tious obligations to the souls com mitted to her care, lend her authori ty to the preaching of dangerous error t” * Os (course the reader at once sees the atvious bearing of all this on the Celebrated Briggs case, which has created so great a stir among our Presbyterian brethren in the North. Another eminent writer, the Rev. Dr. D. J. Burrell, not long since, in the New York Independent, well said that “it is the right and duty of all organizations calling themselves Christian churches, to require in the teachers whom they employ sound ness of doctrine. They are bound to go by their own judgment upon this point, honestly exercised. Hence we find that all Christian churches have, from the beginning until this time, claimed and exercised the right of silencing, and when nec essary excluding, heretical ministers and members when the latter as sumed to become teachers, either publicly or privately, to such an ex tent as to create dissensions and propagate false doctrines.” Surely there is no wrong or injus tice to any onej in this wholesome exercise of discipline. Yet if the Church, after long sufierence and remonstrance, essays to do this, she is at once met ty the cry of heresy hunting I Secular papers and plat form orators join in the uproar, as if all the rights of private judgment were about to be overturned! The truth is that the false teachers are themselves the persecutors. Nur tured in the bosom of the church, yet they are striking cruel blows at her very life, and then, “when she seeks to be rid of them, they appeal to popular prejudice to brand her as simply organized bigotry and intol erance !” The very effrontery of these reck less false teachers shows the necessi ty of promptness in dealing with them. The Church had need to prayerfully study once more those burning words of the apostle: “If any man preach any other Gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed ?” A great deal in these is made of char ity, as though it were the first es sence of Christianity. But the Scriptures place one thing yet above charity, that is, uncompromising loy alty to God and the faith. “First pure, then peaceable,” to the New Testament motto. “Contend earn estly for the faith once for all deliv ered to the saints,” is apostolic pre cept. Dr. Remensnyder concludes his timely article by calling for a cessa tion of the clamor about heresy hunt ing and declaring that “the Church has always found that her greatest minds and boldest thinkers have been her most unflinching cham pions. She has nothing to fear, but everything to gain, from virile, independent, aggressive thought. The heretics are themselues respon sible for- the outcry raised against them.” It occurs to us to add that sympa thy is wasted when it is bestowed upon those who insist upon remain ing in the ministry of any denomina tion when they can no longer consci entiously preach the peculiar tenets of that denomination. When one is conscious that he has lost faith in the fundamental doctrines . of the church which ordained him a teach er, ho should have the manliness and courage of his convictions, and step down and out of its pulpit. STAY IN YOUR PLACE. On a table, iu a lady’s sitting room, rested a beautiful glass reservoir fill ed with clear, sparkling water. It was the home of a gold-fish. The water was changed as often as the life and health of the fish required. It was well fed and received the careful attention of the owner. Save its contracted abode, there was no reason for dissatisfaction or com plaint. A little above the table, within easy view, and speaking distance, was suspended a cage containing a canary bird. It was a pretty home, provided with perches, swings, and vessels to hold ample supplies of food and water. The owner was as careful of her bird as she was of her fish. For some time each seemed satis fied with his circumstances, the fish darting about in the limpid water, clucking and eagerly devouring the crumbs thrown to it, while the bird hopped from perch to perch, or swung upon its trapeze, now and then astonishing the listener with its wonderful songs. One day the fish balancing itself near the surface said to the canary, “1 am tired of being buried in this bowl, and of bumping my head against its sides, and having nothing to eat but a few crumbs, and now and then a worm. I wish 1 had a pretty swinging cage like yours, and conld jump about in the open air, without hav ing to be left lying, every day or two, on the bottom of this basin while my mistress is changing the ’ water. Indeed, I would like very i much to change places with you. i I wish I was a bird.” THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY. AUGUST 18. 1892. The canary bird listened attentive ly to what the fish was saying, mean while wisely winking his eyes, and as soon as the fish finished its speech, replied, “I have been watching you swim ming down there in that clear, cool water, admiring your graceful move ments, and have often wished I could get out of this dirty cage, and plunge into your little ocean, and swim and bathe to my heart’s con tent. In short, I would like to be a fish, and change places with you.” The owner overhearing this con versation, determined to gratify the wishes of her pets. Preparing both the basin and the cage, sec placed the fish in the lat ter, and thebird in the former. The fish floundered and flopped over and over again, until fairly ex hausted and burning with fever, was ready to die. The bird, thoroughly drenched, fluttered and kicked, and struggled to keep its head above water until weary, and nearly suffocated, it was about to sink to the bottom, Both gasping for life, faintly begg ed their owner to restore them to their old places. She promptly did so, just in time to save two funerals. After that, there were no complaints from gold-fish or canary bird. Learn, 1. To consider your circumstan ces, and be content to remain where providence has placed you. 2. Work faithfully where you are, and if you are adapted for a transfer from a lower to a higher place, your fitness will soon be dis covered and a change will come. 3. Every place has its advantages and its disadvantages. A change may make you more uncomfortable and miserable than to stay where you are. Study well your fitness for a new place before you leave the old one. 4. Mere change of circumstances will not make a fish of a bird, or a bird of o fish. A change of circumctances will make no change in your fitness. God knows what is best for you, and what is worst for you. Keep your eyes on your work, and let them not wander to what you may think a more pleasant place. It will shut envy out of your mind, and fill your heart with contentment. THE DISCOVERY OF WOMAN. Woman has been in the world ever since the days of Adam and Eve. But it pleases some hunters after fine phrases to say that she has been here as a sort of an “unknown quantity” until these latter years. And now that her agency in Christian enter prises has been called into play in more separate organized forms, the hunters aforesaid shout themselves hoarse. We of the nineteenth cen tury, have found woman—have found her out; and of all the discoveries of the century the greatest is this dis covery of woman.” Was there, then, as century after century came and went, never a Timothy with a mother Eunice and a grandmother Lois, workers for God, witnesses to his word, and in struments of unfeigned faith in other souls? Or if there were such women were they “unknown” and “undis covered” by those among whom they lived and who, looking on their lives felt that look of benediction! Every Christian generation has had these mothers and grandmothers by the myriad, it is they who make up, per haps the larger, perhaps the better part of the history of the true church through all the ages—that history which, as to its fulness, is written only on high. So far as it is written on earth, we can nowhere find the church of the past, where we do not find woman in an eminent degree its glory and its strength—its glory in what she was and its strength in what she did. And if this household agency of woman, this agency through the daily beauty of a godly life, is to be disparaged; if it is to be thrust into the background and to count for little or nothing; you shut our eyes to the fact that even now it is doing more and more valuable work than her agency in its recent organized forms; and if we are to rely on these forms where it is not and dream that they can do its work or themselves do without it, then were it far truer to say, “We of the nineteenth century have lost women, lost what is best of her; and of all the losses of the century, the great est and the direst is this loss of wo man!” These fine phrases are misleading, the truth they hide is more vital than the truth they aim to set forth. We might as well say that until Carey, “preacher, teacher, scholar, scientist, printer and planter,” lighted the torch of modern missions and its rays shone away the mists settling down over inactive generations, the church never knew itself, that it was then the church in these latter ages first “discovered” itself. But who does not see that there would be bad theology, and bad religion too, in say ing that? We respectfully submitthat Christ “discovered” woman,(if we may rev erently so phrase his knowledge of her), that through inspired penmen ho put this “discovery” in His word; and that the woman we “discover” can be an unmixed blessing to man kind, only in proportion as the work she does is cast in the mould of that word with regard to the principles that actuate it, the sphe res that it assumes to fill, and the limitations that restrict it. AN IMPORTANT PHASE OF HOME MISSION WORK. There is one phase of the work of the Home Field alluded to by Dr. Jones, and specially emphasized by Dr. Blackwell, to which we wish to direct particular attention. It is that of reaching and utilizing the foreign element in our midst, for the suc cessful and wide extended prosecu tion of Foreign Missions. For more than a year one of the former editors of the Index directed attention to this matter, at intervals, and sought to enlist more active and determined effort to reach the for eign elements at our very doors, and to prepare them for work among their own people. All through the Southern States, in city, town, and country we have the negroes. As to them, Dr. Jones has this to say : “Are not the negroes in pur midst also included in the great commis sion, and are we not under equal ob ligation to give them the Gospel ? Is there any sort of propriety in send ing the Gospel to Africa, and neg lecting the Africans at our doors, and in our homes ? Our missionaries to the negroes of the South have.no oceans to cross, no foreign languages to learn, no death-dealing climate to encounter, no abject heathen to teach. But we have at our doors a people who speak our language, reverence our Bible, and believe in our God, but who are in the shackles of ignorance, superstition and vice, which loudly call us to the rescue.” Converted and properly prepared for the work, they are the people to send, as missionaries to Africa. It may be ip.JlaQ beginning, to continue them under the super vision of the white man, but the great body of active workers among the negroes in Africa, should be ne gro missionaries sent from the South ern States. So the Chinese, within our bounds, should be reached, and used in the same way. There are about 300,000 in America, and many of them with in the limits of the Home and For eign Boards of the Southern Baptist Convention. Let them be sought out and brought m contact with real Christian influence, and under the renewing power of the Gospel, and then sent back, as missionaries, to their own people. So with Japan ese, Mexicans, Cubans, Italians, and, indeed, all the foreign elements that God has brought within reach of our hands, and within the sound of our voices. As Dr. Blackwell has well shown in his article in our Home Field for August, this is the Apostolic Method for Modern Missions. There is much foreign mission work to be done in the home field by all three of our Boards, by city, town, and country churches, in the prosecution of their local missionary enterprises, and by individual Chris tians, through personal effort, among the foreigners they meet every day. What our hands find to do, let us do with our might. CENTENNIAL CHILDREN’S DAY. The special attention of Pastors, Superintendents, Teachers, and Sun day School Children is directed to an article in this issue about the part they are to take in helping to raise the special mission fund of 1250,000. The day set apart for a general missionany celebration by all the Sunday Schools in the South is Sun day, Oct. 2nd, 1892- On that day a collection is to be taken of contributions previously made, for the Centennial fund. The Centennial Committee has prepared a plan upon which the Contributions are to be made. The amounts con tributed are to be equally divided between the Foreign and Home Mis sion Boards. A beautiful and instructive pro gram for Oct 2. 1892 has also been prepared which will greatly interest all who participate, and much facili tate the work of that day. The plans, cards, and program of exercises will be furnished free, in any quantity needed, on application to Baptist Mission Rooms, N 0.9, West Lexington St., Baltimore, Md. We hope that every Sunday School in Georgia will take part in this celebration, and that such a sum will go up from their treasuries as will not fall one dollar behind that given by the Sunday Schools of any other Southern State. The time is short, act promptly. REV. 0. D. CAMPBELL DEAD. Last Friday the mortal remains of Rev. C. D. Campbell were laid to rest by those of his wife in beautiful Oconee Cemetery, at Athens, Ga. He was born in Clinton, Jones Coun ty, Ga., in 1842, and died Wednes day, Aug. 10th, at his home in Cle burne, Texas. Our subject was bap tized by his father in Griffin, Ga., and began preaching about the time he graduated at Mercer University, in 1860. He was chaplain in the Confederate army, and exercised a faithful ministry among the soldiers. For some years he resided on his farm in Quincy, Fla., following the plow, and preaching in Quincy and to churches in the surrounding com munity. His first regular pastorate was at Quitman, Ga., where God blessed his work. A portion of his time was given to the church at Val dosta, where his efforts were equally blessed. He was called to the church at Athens, where he was much loved and did an excellent wo.tk. About two years since he received a call from the church at Cleburne, Texas, and accepted the work. The Index had no knowl edge of any trouble with him till his death was announced. Nor do we yet know any of the particulars of his death. While he died in Texas, Georgia feels that he is her’s and mourns her loss in his death. When he left Georgia, he was one of our foremost and, most influential pastors, distinguished for his intel lectual ability, earnest piety, person al culture and pulpit power. The news of his death will bring sorrow to many hearts in his native state. The Index loses a friend, and the tender orphans should receive the fervent prayers of all, as they place their all of parental love in the grave by mother—sleeping mother. A WORD OF CORRECTION. It was not by Rev. Dr. Shaver, then editing the Religious Herald, that “Hymns for the Camp,” the small collection for the use of “our soldiers” in the Confederate Army, was compiled, as was stated in the issue of The Christian Index for August 11th. That work was done by Rev. James B. Taylor, Jr., whose experiences as a chaplain in Gen. W. 11. F. Lee’s command, at once im pressed him with the necessity of such a volume, and qualified him to prepare it acceptably. It was one of the earlier manifestations of that proclivity toward tlie practical and that adaptation to the useful which Dr. Taylor inherited, not only from his distinguished father, but also from a mother no less worthy of dis tinction, and which has marked his successful pastorates, since the war, at Culpepper, Va., Wilmington, N_ C. and Lexington Va. “Hymns for the Camp,” served the cause well and grew in a second edition, to 127 pages with 150 hymns mostly of the better classes. A copy of that recent edition is in our hands, and despite its bad type, bad paper, bad ink, bad press-work and bad binding we han dle it lovingly and reverently for the sake of the times it brings back and for its work of peace amid scenes of carnage.' WHY POOR? According to Scribner’s Magazine, the “drink bill” of Chicago is esti mated at 11,000,000 a week, and three-fourths of this sum—l7so,ooo comes from the pockets of the poor. “Poor” pockets, and yet paying a self-imposed tax of more than *107,- 000 daily for such superfluity as drink! It must be largely the pay ment of this tax that makes them poor or keeps them poor. And this fact suggests a wider inquiry:—How far is poverty in our country due, not to the ways in which money is prevented from coming into the pockets, but to the ways in which money after coming in is allowed to get out of the pockets? Now that the Associations are being held. The Index would sug gest that if every Association would take upon itself to put one theological student in Mercer University and support him, the good results would simply be incalculable. When all the Associations of the year have been held, the Index will publish the number who decided to do so important and great a work. There are already several Associations carrying one or more* boys through mercer. The Oostanaula last year arranged and carried through Shorter College the past year two. worthy young ladies. We hope others will follow this example. GENERAL. Rev L.T. Hardy, died at Glade Spring, Va. July 28th, after several weeks illness. Rev. L. D. Geiger, of Leesburg, Fla., has accepted a unanimous call to the First Baptist church of Ocala. The Herald says Dr. M. B. Whar ton, who is now off on vacation will “rest by working in other directions”. Corresponding Secretary Tupper, of the Foreign Mission Board, has gone to Denver, Col., to spend two months of rest and recreation. Rev. Joseph James Cheeseman who was appointed superintendent of the Southern Baptist Missions in Liberia in 1871. has been elected president of the republic of Liberia. The Baltimore Baptist says Sam Kee, a Chinaman recently baptized at Scott street by Pastor Kemp, was the first one to return his chapel card with five dollars. Rev. Geo. D. Staton, of Woodlawn, Ala., when starting to his pulpit Sun day morning, Aug. 7, suddenly drop ped dead. Dr. Staton had been a useful Baptist preacher for thirty years. Pastor P. T. Hale, of the South Side church, Birmingham, Ala., has just closed a jjood meeting in his church. Although having no minis terial help, the Lord revived the church and twenty-three were added to the membership. JOTTINGS. BY DR. A. T. SPALDING. “Three days and three nights”. It will be a long time before our relig ious world will believe the Lord Jesus that it was three days and three nights that he was crucified on Wednesday and rose from the dead Saturday evening. That would do away with good Friday and also with much we read and hear about the Sabbath: but it will come to that in time. “Every plant which my heavenly father has not planted shall be rooted up.” “Why do you speak to them in parables?” Because to you it is giv en to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven but to them it is not given. Blessed art thou Simon son of Jonah, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my father which is in heaven. “Many prophets and righteous men have desired to see and have not” There were and yet are many unsatisfied desires. Saints have often desired to know and have cried out, How long, O Lord, how long. At last however the hoped for times did come. In God’s own best time and way all things needful will at last come, and all good and right desires will eventually be satisfied. “Things hidden from the founda tion of the world.” The Lord Jesus revealed these hidden things. He uttered things which had been kept secret from the beginning of the hu man race. He made known what the wise for six thousand years had sought in vain to know. And yet there are many little ignorant ones who deem themselves wiser than him in whom dwelt all the fulness of the God-head bodily—in whom were all the treasures of the wisdom of God. “ No! lest while ’ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.” The King of Babylon tried to root up what he thought were tares but it put the three great worthies in the burning furnace. And the dear old head of modern Babylon has, through his priest, had many millions of the saints to die, while he thought he did God service in rooting up tares. “Is like to yeast.” In the flour the yeast was covered up and hidden but nevertheless it did its work and the three measures all were levened. Christ’s truth will leaven the heart it enters and will fill all the world with the glory of God but it will not be with outward hut inward pow er and might. “Is like to a grain of mustard seed” Not because it is hot, as I once heard a great man say, for it is not. But though small it will become a great thing. The little seed will become a great tree and will give rest and shelter. RECEIPTS OF THE MISSION BOARD Baptist Convention of the State of Georgia.
