2 OHUISTIAN LOVE. A SERMON PREACHED AT ADAIRSVILLE, BY A. S. TATUM, APRIL 1892. PUB- LISHED BY REQUEST. "This is my commandment. That ye love one auother.” John 15 :12. Def. Love is first, a natural pas sion. This natural love made the seven years which Jacob served for Rachel, seem unto him but a few days. Second, it is a gracious prin ciple. It is this love, that can raise the affections from things ' earth to things above. Natural’Ave may be lawful or unlawful. “He that loveth his life shall lose it, and he that hateth his life in this world, shall keep it unto life eternal.” Love is Human and Divine. “Husbands love your wives, even as Christ loved the Church.” Eph. 5:25. “God so loved the world that he gave His Son,” etc. It is love divine which constrains Christians to love one-an other, and ministers Christians, as when Dual, in much affection, and anguish u of heart, wrote unto the Cor inthians with many tears, that they might know his abundant love unto them. Os Christians to ministers, as when they are exhorted to abound in the grace of giving, as they do in that of love towards the apostles. 2 Cor. 2;4 and 8 :7-8. This mutual love is essential first as being one of the ten commandments. Second, as being enforced by Christ under the Gospel dispensation. “'This is my commandment,” Christ, not only by divine authority, does he enjoin it, but as the last words of a friend, des ignated for our, individual, mutual and spiritual good. Therefore the design of this brief discourse is with a view, of encouraging the exer cise of this Christian grace. No one word will so fully express the obli gations of pastors to their churches, or churches their pastors, or as church members towards each other as that of love. If love without dissim ulation exists, every other necessary good will follow. It is from God as a golden chain reaching down from heaven, binding the hearts of his children ; as the poet has sung “Love is the golden chain that binds our hearts in Christian love.” H may be called the soul of true Chris tian religion. The uniting stitch linking together the hearts of God’s people. The leading grace of each keaven-born soul; designed by its increase, to sanctify the general course, of the conduct of all to whose hearts it is given. There is no pow er so well calculated to preserve and maintain the peace and prosperity of our country. It obliterates envy, quiets revenge, silences the tongue of slander, and of evil speaking; and encourages the despondent heart; supports the feeble ; visits the sick ; comforts the bereaved ; binds up the broken heart, and sends the bread of life to the perishing souls of other lands. In a word, it is at the foun dation of every good work. When founded on the first table of the law, carried out in the second, it is the fulfillment of all its require ments. “All the law is fulfilled in one word, namely, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” Hence it is called the Royal law, which en joins us to esteem our brother for his virtues, to be grateful to him for his kindness,” to sympathize with him in his infirmities, to comfort him in his sorrows ; to assist him in his difficulties; with all good offices u Inch gives it expression. Love operates so as to be distin guishing ; it is not blind, God-like it embraces sinners but not their sin. Loves even enemies, but not unkind ness nor wicked treatment. Gives no encouragement to crime ; but re bukes it by example of kindness. Love is corrective: “Whom the Lord loveth he chastens.” With love, the company, counsels, and prayers of Christians, both, delight ful and beneficial. Love recommends our religion to others, but hatred never. By making others happy we increase our own. Nothing else gives us such clear and unmistakable evidence that we are in possession of eternal life. May we ever see in Christ, the great example of true, unselfish, sacri living love. To lie destitute of the love of Christ, is to be ignorant of a sacred principle of immeasurable dimen. sions of boundless joy and pleasure. It is to abide still in darkness, and shut out the golden sunlight of its peace from others. “Ix-t brotherly love continue.” Be kind, tender hearted, forgiving, and your Heaven ly Father will forgive you. The way to fill the pews is first of all to fill the pulpit.—Dr. C. H. Park hurst. THE PASTOR'S VACATION. This is the time when many of our pastors take a rest from their routine of pastoral labor. A word pro and con upon this subject will be oppor tune. Some pastors’ who preach to the same people eve’ry Sunday, do not take a rest, not because they do not need it, but their people are dis inclined to give it. Let us look at the question on both sides and see if the pastor should take a vacation, we believe it is Mr. Gladstone who says that whenever a course of action is set before him be carefully weighs both sides and chooses the weightier. There are some objections to the pastors vacation. First of all the prejudices of very many people are against it. A little light on the sub ject will likely remove this. There are real objections. The pastor’s ab sence is likely to cause the church to become disorganized and scattered. When the shepherd is away the wol ves enter and mercilessly attack the flock. A well shepherded church however is likely to have some among them who can exhort and lead prayer-meetings and if this is kept up every Sunday morning the flock will not become scattered. Again while the pastor is absent the church is likely to decline spiritu ally. This may be but should not be. Os course there will be a falling off from the regular congregation. The prayer-meeting rather than the Sunday service is the pulse of the church. Many people attend Sun day service because it is fashionable; others because the preacher pleases their fancy, and others still to wor ship God. Because the first and sec ond classes are not found at service when the pastor is absent is no sign f the spiritual decline on the part of the church. If those who are the pillows stay away, for no reason ex cept the absence of the pastor, then you may know that the spiritual pulse beats low. A church is in a sad state that must work their pastor to death in order to keep spiritual life within them. These objections are of little weight if the church is at all spiritually minded. Here is another objection which we think more serious, namely, the effect which some pastors allow a vacation to have upon them. They go to popular summer resorts and in the gay whirl of society they catch so much of the spirit of the world that the Spirit of Christ is completely hidden. Hu man nature is a strange thing and it ys perhaps natural for a man closely confined in the duties of a large pas toriate for nearly a year to feel dur ing his vacation like a bird out of a cage. But with his liberty he must not give himself license. Some good men have gone to such an exrteme of folly as to incur severest censure of all good people and even to shake the people’s confi dence in their piety. To rest at a popular resort is in perfect harmony with living and walking close with God, and he who remembers in all his supplications his absent flock will not join very much in the folly of the world. Now for some things favorable. In the first place a pastor needs a rest. There is more mental work in the pastorate than in any other intel lectual pursuit. preaching from two to four or five times a week the strain of pastoral duty in looking after the flock, numbering from two-hundred <o one-thousand, is immense. He is constantly with the gay at weddings and with the sorrowing at funerals. If any is in distress they send for the pastor. He looks after bodily as well as spir itual wants. The sorrowing and mourning of his church are as one of his household. All of their troub les they tell to the pastor as their counselor and friend. If one suffers loss from fire, storm or flood who but the pastor relieves them? Besides all this the work of all the church lays upon his heart and often he is left to do all the planning and thinking for the church. Men who can run an immense business of their own often lend none of their experience and ability towards organizing the church; it is left entirely to the hard worked pastor. Under such a strain no wonder so many pastors suffer from nervous prostration. A man is not capable of doing his best pulpit work for any great length of time without taking a rest. The chief duty of a pastor is to preach. In order to do this well he must have a sound mind and a sound body. A fatigued man will no more preach well than will a fatigued horse travel well. Often a poor sermon is the result not of laziness but of weari ness. Our best preachers in the eastern cities take from one to two months rest every summer and south ern churches would do well to imi- THE CHRISTIAN INDEX; THURSDAY, AUGUST 25. 1892. tate their example. Taking it all in all a little rest to the pastor every summer is necessary for his health and for vigorous growth on the part of the church. ©Xie PHILIP PREACHING AT SAMARIA Lesson for Sept. 4, 1892. Scripture Lesson : Acts 8:5-25. Motto Text. —“ And there was great joy in that city.” (Verse 8.) INTRODUCTION. We have, in this lesson, the direct result of that persecution which fol lowed the death of Stephen, and which was so vigorously maintained by Saul. As the record says, of the dispersed church-members, “They that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.” But mention is made of the labors of Philip only, who was one of the seven deacons selected by the church, and whose name appears in the list, next to Stephen’s. (See Acts 6 :5.) Perhaps he was the first to preach the Gospel in Sama ria. (See Acts 1 :8.) Precisely what city is referred to, is uncertain; but perhaps, the city of Samaria it self. His success was phenominal, and some of the results are stated in our lesson. EXPLANATIONS. I. Philip Preaching at Sama ria.—s-8. v. 5. “Went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ,” as Jerusalem was on a high moun tain, other places were referred to as down from Jerusalem. Td “preach Christ,” was to proclaim Him as the Messiah and that Jesus of Nazareth was he. Philip let alone all national disputes and dif ferences and “preach Christ.” to which they gave willing “heed,” or paid good attention, “with one ac cord,” by common consent, that is, they gathered in larger numbers and listened attentively, “to those things which Philip spake,” as stated in verse 5, and meaning, generally the Gospel tidings. The miracles Philip performed were signs that these tid ings were a message from God ; and their eager attention indicated faith which was strengthened by hearing what he done in other places and see ing the miracles performed then. In verse 7 we have a list of the mira cles, and verse 8 tells us how glad they were to hear things so much better than what Simon had to say— namely, the good news of salvation, and of a Messiah already come. Miracles confirmed Philip’s word, and the power to perform them, was giv en for that’every purpose. (See Mark 16 :20 ; Heb, 2 ;3.) Think how in credible the story of Christ’s miracu lous conception, death and resurrec tion, would sound, without some miraculous proofs, such as the acts performed as stated in verse 7, and these various cures, the Gospel tid ings, and the happiness attending conversion, are enough to produce "joy* 11. The Believing Samaritans Baptized. —9-13. We have, now, the episode of Simon the Sorcerer, introduced, here, partly that a com parison may be made between his sorceries and the miracles of Philip ; and that a comparison may also, be made between his teachings and those of Philip. Simon was a noted magician who, by his magic arts and delusive statements had created the impression that ho pos sessed supernatural power, having for a long time amazed them by his sorceries or tricks. But, when they heard Philip, whoso preaching “con corning the kingdom of God,” lli s Spiritual kingdom, “and the name of Jesus Christ,” the Messiah and Savior of the world,” all confirmed by actual miracles, was far above anything Simon had taught, “they believed” what Philip preached, and accepted Jesus as their Savior, “and were baptized”—immersed, “both men and women”—because they on ly could believe. Indeed we are not told, in the Now Testament of any being baptized, but those who be lieved. It is here said that “Simon believed and was baptized,” ho be lieved with his mind that Jesus was the Messiah, being convinced by tho miracles, that what Philip taught was true ; but there was no regener tion. Though he made an open pro fession and was baptized, there was |no real faith in Christ. He was as i founded at miracles so far above ’ his power, and, perhaps, wishing to acquire the power to perform them ‘continued with Philip,” that is, in constant attendance upon him. 111. Simon’s Sin. —l 4-25. vs. 14- 17. We have hero the mission of Peter and John, to investigate this great work in Samaria. They found it a genuine work, as was proved by the gift of the Holy Spirit, accom. panied by power conferred ; and it was this excited the cupidity of Si. mon, and made him offer money that he might bo endowed with pow er of conferring the Holy Spirit, by laying on his hands, as Peter and John had done. And this proved the falsity of his conversion, as he simply devised the power to enrich himself. Peter’s indignation and horror were aroused. He rejected ffae offer and declared that Simon is bound for destruction, as he was utterly destitute of religion and with out any share in its future rewards, for his heart was not right in God’s sight. He then urged Simon to re pent, in hopes of obtaining forgive, ness, if it was possible, for, as yet, he was in a state of utter depravity and slavery to sin. Fear, not repentance, made Simon ask the apostles to pray for him. SHORTER COLLEGMF ROME. * A MAGNIFICENT COLLEGE FOR YOUNG LADIES. A $170,000 Gift to the Daughters of the Nouth—Palatial Buildings with Picturesque Surrdiindings.-.A Lofty Altitude and Unexampled Heajthful ness—-Unsurpassed Advantages in Literature and Science—A Splendid Conservatory of Music-An Ideal School of Art—A Superior Finishing School for Advanced Pupils. the next session open September 28th, with a bright outlook. K/* 4, *** Mm r~ ■Li i n» SITUATION, No city in the entire South com bines so many advantages as a seat for a yonngladies’ college as Rome, the Hill Citji of Georgia, the Queen City Cherokee region. Anti no spot is ijo elegible and nieets so many requirements of such a school, as the beautiful and commanding eminence on which Shorter College o stands. Situated in the Northwest corner of Georgia, closely bordering on the states of Alabama and Tennessee, with numerous railways radiating in every direction, making it conven iently accessible to more distant sec tions, Rome is the key to all the Southern and Southwestern states. All these have sent many pupils to Shorter College, while several of the Northern an<t Northwestern states have been represented in its halls. Young ladies from Florida and our Southern seaboard come here to build up their constitutions in this bracing and salubrious air, while pu pils from the North seek the' more genial influences of this health-giv ing climate. And Shorter College, the pride of Rome, sits like a queen, one hun dred and fifty feet above the neigh boring streets enjoys the purest air and is the very home of health. Not a death has occurred within its walls, and no epidemic has visited it. Only two or three cases of light catarrh have given even a suspicion of la grippe. Girls delicate in con stitution become robust and healthy after spending a few months in its tonic atmosphere. THE BEAUTIFUL SUBROUNDINGS. The scenery around the college is in the highest degree beautiful and inspiring. Miles on miles of the most picturesque and enchanting land scape stretch before the view in every direction—mountains, valleys, forests, rivers, fields and meadows combining to form the loveliest pic tures on which the eye ever rested. 1 o live in the midst of this glorious scenery is an education in itself. Such environments expand the mind exalt the imagination, refine the feel ings and heighten the pleasures of a school-girl’s life. IMPROVEMENTS. The munificent sum of 1170,000 was donated by tho late Alfred Shorter for the erection and equip ment of the college buildings. In all the South no more imposing edi fices are to lie seen than these mas sive structures of brick and stone whose excellence of arrangement is equal to their beauty of design. Crowning one of the loftiest of the “seven hills,” these royal, palatial buildings are the admiration of every beholder. The accommodations are sufficient for 300 pupils, including about one hundred boarders. The sleeping rooms are supplied with elegant fur niture, carpets and every comfort of the best hotel, with all modern heating, lighting and water conven iences. The academic building is furnished with neat desks of ap proved pattern, and with all needful educational appliances, such as scien tific apparatus, cabinets, charts; globes, libraries, medical instruments, art models, etc. The college poss* esses a magnificent Equatorial Tele scope, and an excellent physical and chemical outfit. The grounds are laid off in broad and beautiful terraced walks, neatly graveled and bordered by evergreen hedges and trees, and every variety of flowering shrubs, while the slopes are nicely turfed with blue grass- The long, broad, winding terraces afford to the girls the very best op portunities for out-door exercise, while in the sports of the gymna sium and playground, amusement is combined with necessary physical exertion. EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES. These are among the very best. In breadth and thoroughness of scholar ship, in excellence of discipline, in the ability and fitness of the faculty, in the superiority of material equip ments. Shorter College yields to no competitor. The Conservatory of Mu- sic ranksamong the best in the South. All the teachers of both vocal and in strumental music are artists, as well as first-class instructors. The suc cess of this department last year was phenomenal, and the seven public concerts besides the semi-monthly recitals through the year demon strated to hundreds the superior skill and fidelity of the able director and his accomplished assistants. The School of Art enjoys a wide celebrity, and its advantages are sought by ladies from every part of the South. The exhibition in June of 450 drawings and paintings was a triumph of art rarely seen. The ma jority of the exhibits were from nat ural objects, and evinced the super ior methods and skill of the pupils under the guidance of their unrival ed teacher. ELOCUTION AND PHYSICAL CULTURE receive much attention and are taught by experienced and skillful teachers. The department of Sten ography and Type-writing affords excellent advantages for instruc tion in these practical arts. POST-GRADUATE AND SPECIAL COURSES. In addition to the extensive and thorough curriculum pursued by un der-graduates, with a view to at taining the degrees of A. 8., (full degree), and L. 8., (English degree) the College offers the peculiar ad vantages of a finishing school. Young ladies who have completed the col lege course in any institution of sim ilar grade may here extend their studies in any direction, acquiring a deeper, wider more accurate know ledge of the important branches of education. In the study of the En glish, Latin and Greek classics, in Mathematics, in the Physical sciences, in Mental, Moral and Political Philosophy ample oppor tunity is afforded in Shorter Col lege for scholarship accurate and varied enough to meet the wants of those ambitious of the highest at tainments. Eclectic courses are marked out for those who desire to perfect them selves in select studies of the literary course, and to extend their proficien cy in Music, Art, Elocution or Phon ography. As a finishing school Shorter College offers special advan tages. EXPENSES. For the superior facilities afforded the charges of the college are mod erate. Reductions on the regular rates are made when two or more pupils come from the same family, or four or more from the same neigh borhood, or where a pupil takes more than two optional studies be sides the literary course. The col lege gives free literary tuition to the daughters of ministers of the gos pel engaged in active ministerial work. ACCESSIBILITY. The seven approaches to Rome by railway render the college easy of access from every point of the com pass. The East Tennessee Railroad by its Alabama division penetrates eastern, middle and southern Ala bama, while the Rome and Decatur R. R. to Gadsden and Birmingham opens the way to the Northern and Western portion of that great state. These two lines terminating at Me ridian, Mississippi, make the way to Rome easy from Mississippi and the Southwest. Tennessee and Ken tucky are reached by the Georgia Central, the East Tennessee and the Western and Atlantic railroads. Every part of Georgia, the Carolinas and Florida is conveniently accessi ble by the Western and Atlantic, the East Tennessee and the Central of Georgia.
