ASKED AND ANSWERED.
C. E W. DOBBS, D. D.
A Sunday-school teacher asks us
whether the following paragraph
from the “Editor’s Drawer” of the
Baptist Teacher, fairly presents the
question involved:
“A correspondent is very desirous
for us to settle the question as to the
location of the land of Nod, and also
where Cain obtained his wife. He
distinctly states that the Bible does
not give any information concerning
these questions, but he supposes the
editor must be able to answer with
out any hesitation. To both of these
questions the editor simply replies
that he does not know ; that he has
no means of going beyond the scrip
ture upon such points as these and
that he regards the discussion of
such subjects as not only useless, but
harmful.”
The editor's answer while strictly
true, might have been so written as
to somewhat relieve his correspon
dent, who seems to have honestly
Bought information. The scripture
(Gen. 4 :16, 17) does not tell us who
Cain’s wife was, but from the whole
history, we may fairly infer he mar
ried a sister, as must have been the
case upon the supposition that the
human race sprang from a single
pair. It cannot be fairly objected to
this that no record is made of any'
children born to Adam and Eve ex
cept Cain and Abel. Scott, on verse
15, says they “had very many' more
children than are mentioned in this
brief narrative, principally intended
to record a few important particulars,
and to trace the history front the
begining to the time of Moses. And
if, as is generally thought, Abel was
murdered but a short time before
the birth of Seth, the human race
might be exceedingly increased in
the space of 130 years.” Patrick
mentioned a couple in England, from
whom in 80 years there were 307
children. In the Schaff-Herzog En
cyclopedia wo are told that Cain’s
“wife was his sister, tradition calls
her a twin-sister named Savee, or his
oldest sister Azron or Azura. The
country to which he went received
its name afterwards, and the ‘city’
was a few of the rudest huts.”
What is the interpretation of Acts
19 :l-6? If these disciples were re
baptized docs not that invalidate
John’s baptism? If not, why not?
J. 8. F.
Our esteemed brother’s inquiry
appears in an argumentive form, lie
evidently thinks the twelve disci
ples mentioned were not rebaptized.
We think they were. Such is the
obvious meaning of the record, ami
such is the conclusion of every' read
er, who is not troubled by some opin
ion against which the fact seems to
militate. The interpretation which
makes verse 5 refer to the multitudes
baptized by John will not stand, for
they were not “baptized in the name
of the Lord Jesus.” Such baptism
was known only after Christ began
his personal ministry—probably' not
till after Pentecost. Bucket refers
to the above interpretation, but says,
“this view of the passage may be said
to be obsolete at present.” Just why
these disciples were rebaptized it is
difficult to determine from the very'
meager record we have of the tran
saction. Certainly there was some
thing in their case which in Paul's
opinion, made it necessary to good or
der. Whether the cause was their im
perfect faith,or irregularity in the rite
as they’ had received it, it is simply
impossible for us to decide positively.
The circumstances were peculiar, and
the case is an unique one. Its very
obscurity forbids our making it a
precedent. It is the only recorded
incident of rebaptism.
Nor does this view invalidate
“John’s baptism.” So far as we can
Bee from the New Testament, that
baptism when rightly administered
was regarded as valid. On this
point we beg leave to quote from an
article from our pen published in
the Convention Teacher of last
April:
“John baptized in the faith that
Christ was about to come; Jesus
(by his disciples) baptized in the
faith that he was that Christ. The
baptism of Jesus was to widen its
significance when the tragedy of the
cross should be consummated ; but
as yet it had only the meaning here
predicated of it Thus the oft-re
peated question is answered. Was
John’s baptism Christian baptism?
Yes and no. It was, just as the
morning twilight is the day; it was
not, just as that twilight is not the
brightness of the full-risen sun.”

JOTTINGS.
BY A. T. SPALDING.
“Whence is there to us, in the
wilderness, bread for so many ?’’
There are many hungry mouths to
be fed. Yet the Lord opens His
hand and satisfies the desire of every'
living thing. They' all come up to
the table of providence and are sat
isfied. Yet we are forever limiting
the power of the Lord Jesus and in I
an empty’ conceit are asking how
we can find bread for so many.
There are many souls to be saved
and we ask who are we that we
should save so many ? God has ex
alted not us but Him to be a prince
and a Savior to give repentance and
remission of sins.
“How many' loaves have ye ?”
There is a part for us to do. What
loaves we have wo are to bring. It
has pleased the Lord by the foolish
ness of preaching to save them
that believe. He makes our poor
furnishings the basis of his wonder
ful supplies. It may be the blowing
of the rams’ horn or something
less ; but the Lord can work won
ders by it, for we read that when
they praised the Lord the enemies
of the Lord began to slay each other
at the cliff of Ziz.
“A few small fishes,” we look with
great doubt upon the meagreness of
our supply ; we stand appalled at
the poorness of our pulpit prepara
tion. We need to remember who it
is to whom we may bring it that be
may put his blessing on it.
“lie made them to sit down upon
the ground.” Where great multi
tudes are to be fed, great convenience
and quietude can be had by the seat
ing of them in little plots like garden
beds. “In companies of fifties.”
“lie gave thanks.” All temporal
and spiritual blessings come from the
heart and hand of God. We should
be grateful for them. We should
give expression to our thanks. It is
our Father’s due and our own hearts
are benefited by it.”

MEMORY.
Memory is a picture gallery, filled
with a thousand landscapes that en
chanted in years gone by. Moun
tain and plain, river and sealet, illu
mined by' the smile of God at noon
tide, or flushed in colors of celestial
i light, at noon or eve. These all,
recollection recalls at pleasure, and
the aesthetic nature revels amid
them, in age. While the grateful
and the beautiful are retouched from
the easel of imagination, the unsight
ly and the repulsive are dismissed
from thought and sink out of con
sciousness. Thus the panorama of
the past glows with softer and rich
er colors as the years wane, fore
shortened into a great Eden. Simi
larly all that is lovely or imposing in
ten thousand human faces, radiant
with intelligence, or suffused with af
fection, in forms, instinct with ge
nius, or admirable in manly bearing,
survives the lapse of years, and we
live in the midst of a great concourse
from which every ungrateful feature
has vanished. The best sentiment,
the best thought, and sweetest min
istrations of all abide with us.
A life of reading, leaves with us
all the great thoughts, all the noble
sentiments of the great and good of
all the ages ; and when we need
them they come forth, at our bid
ding, for the demands of the occa
sion. We may trim and modify
them to suit our purposes, so that
old age is not alone, but in company
and in converse with the great spirits
of all the past. The sight may grow
dim, strength for application fail, but
; profitable employment will be found
in combining and applying the
knowledge stored away, and as the
myriad facts arc surveyed in their
relations, new truths and principles
will ever and anon, emerge, and wis
dom take the place of hurried spec -
ulation. As the unenvious, in their
humble cottages, sit down amid the
palatial residences and ornamented
grounds of their neighbors, and en
joy without cost all that wealth and
taste can supply, the studious and
the meditative live in the centre of
God’s world of matter and of mind,
“Creation's heirs.”
Shall not all this beauty and glory
and knowledge, carried along in
memory, survive the grave ? Sure
ly the unselfishness and magnanimi
ty that have often made our bosoms
swell, and filled our eyes with tears
of admiration and joy, will live in
the “great beyond.” Christ-like acts
have all along gone right home to
the centre of our souls, and led us
up to Him who, not for himself but
others lived, and died for others’
joys.
Evil and ugliness and deformity,
I so strangely mixed, in this fair world,

with unspeakable brightness and
beauty, may at least act as a whole
some foil with the just, and by con
trast heighten the lustre and intensi
fy the delightfulness of the perfect
and the good. Who knows, but
that without this contrast, the high
est good could never be evolved ?jj
To those who have lived a consci
entious Christian life, albeit full of
failures, the retrospect and the pros-
I pect glow with unearthly light.

Extract from a sermon preached by
Rev. D. H. Parker, in the Baptist
Church, at Thomasville, Ga. .Sun
day morning, Aug. 21st. The
church having in consideration the
building of a new church house.
Text: “Let us rise up and build
a house unto the Lord, and they
strengthened for this good work.”
Nehemiah, 2-18.
After a brief allusion to the trou
bles of the Jews, their political over
throw, their desolation at home, their
captivity abroad, their cries unto
God for a return, their conviction
and penitence, he showed God’s
favor to them, the decrees of Darius
and Cyrus, successfully and respect
fully', emphasizing the fact that they
were down, in the ashes, in poverty
and in reproach among their neigh
bors, and their resoluton: Let us
rise up and build.” He showed that
he who builds wisely builds with a
purpose, that they who build a house
unto the Lord should build with
clean hands, citing God’s denial of
David to build the first temple be
cause he was a man of blood, a pur
pose to glorify God, to express their
gratification that his loving kindness
had not departed from them, and a
purpose recognizing his wonderfully
gracious dealings with their nation,
and then, under God having in view
the perpetuity of their religious and
political institutions, and to hand
them down as a priceless boon to
their posterity. That their building
should be expressive of their piety
rather than their pride. Application.
That Baptist of all the people under
God’s blue canopy, have the most
cause, in every way, to glorify God,
for his special favors to them.
Next, he noticed that tho people
“had a mind to work,not to talk, nor to
boss, nor to backbite, nor to find
fault. Said he: “A mind to work'
is a mind of enthusiasm, and braves,
difficulties and puts obstacles out oi
the way, a mind, a nerve and a hand (
to roll a wheelbarrow, to shovel dirt,
or to carry a hod.”
He showed how, when the founda
-1 tion of the temple had been relaid,
the people assembled in prayer and
’ praise, to celebrate the good begin
ning of their work, and above all
how old men, who had survived tho
desolation at home and the captivity
abroad, with feeble hands, faltering
1 steps, hair grown gray and eyes
grown dim, wept aloud for joy, re
membering the magnificence and
splendor of the old temple. Appli
-1 cation : How one day’, ere long, we
shall come together with the praise
and song, and how our old brethren
and sisters, who say they do not ex
’ pect to see this building finished,
will rejoice with us w’hen they are
allowed the privilege of witnessing
the success so far, and the guaranty
of success in the completion of your
new’ house.
Next he noticed, “They strength
ened their hands for this work.”
Said he: “No people under heaven
ever built so succesfully or under
' more adverse circumstances.” Show
ing “that except the Lord build tho
1 house they labor in vain that bold
it” and he went on to say “God con
' trols circumstances, times and means,
' and ‘is able to exceeding abundantly
above all that we are able to ask or
1 think.’ Thus he did with them, thus
will he do with you. The movement
here is a spontaneous uprising, the
universal and unanimous recognition
of the necessity for a more commodi
ousand comfortable house. So
st lengthen your hands for the work.
You have several thousand dollars in
property, you have a lot, central, eli
gible and beautiful already paid for,
at $3500. The Ladies Aid Society
of tho church, proposes to furnish
the new church house. God has
given us an architect in our own
town, and on this floor, who takes
this work without a cents compensa
tion, whereby you will save not less
than fifteen hundred dollars.
‘The people, the people, if we are
true to them and true to ourselves
will carry us gloriously through this
struggle.’ Is it practicable? When
Bonnpart learned of the advance of
1 the enemy unto the fair country
South of the Alps, and desiring to
occupy the region first, sent his en
gineers to ascertain if the route over
> the Alps was practicable. They re-
> turned w\h the decision that the
passage was barely practicable, then
said the great Napolean: ‘Forward
Army of France.’ Application:
With the ground paid for and sever
al thousand dollars of property al
ready yours, with grace and grit, it
is eminently practical to build.
Then said he : ‘Forward Army of
Christ.’ ”
In conclusion he said: “Some of
us will not live to see this work con
summated ; but I imagine I hear al
ready gathering a shout, that echoes
along the hill tops, with a widening
and deepening zest, and there is ris
ing a song of triumph, for a spire
shall rise that shall greet the blue
sky, and it shall be the Baptist
Church on Broad Street. Most of
you will witness its completion, will
be present with solemn thanks-giv
ing at its dedication, and will join
the grand chorus that shall fill its
consecrated walls, with that grand
old coronation song:
‘All hail the power of Jesus’ nama
Let angels prostrate fall,
? rl, i lg ,or *'h the Royal Diadem,
And crown him Ixjrd of all.’ "
THE PARTING WORDS.
And ye shall be witnesses unto me
both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea,
and in Samaria, and unto the utter
most parts of the earth. Acts. 1:
8.
CITY MISSIONS.
Religion, like charity, should be
gin at home, but neither need neces
sarily end there. The first duty of
every Christian and of every church
is to their immediate community, and
if there be a ward or a suburb of
the city or a dark corner in the coun
ty not yet visited regularly by the
preacher or Christian worker, let the I
people there first hear the testimony ,
of a crucified and risen Lord. “Re
pentance and remission of sins were
to be preached in his name * *
* beginning at Jerusalem.” Luke
24: 47.
It is not intended nor expected
that everybody at home become a
Christian before the Gospel is to be
preached elsewhere. Some of the
people in Jerusalem never did be
lieve, but tho Apostles did go out
“into all the earth and their words
unto the ends of the world” Never
theless, thay testified first in the city
and formed a model church by which
tho others could fashion themselves.
Jerusalem church had its Elders, and
soon we read of Elders being ordain
ed Tn all this had its
i Deacons, thesh had their direc
‘ tions for ehodsing Deacons; this sent
out its evangelists and supported its
poor, soon the HoU Ghost signified
the same duty' to other churches.
It helps the success of the Gospel
elsewhere to have a good model at
home. For a home church to give
money alone may benefit only in a
financial way, but to give piety,
prayejs and a good example also be
stows pure and undefiled religion. If
every man at home was a Christian
all the rest of the world would be in
a remarkably short while. Fireside
and neighborhood missions are com
mended. Do not fail to testify at
Jerusalem.
STATE MISSIONS.
Judea was a political division of
Palistine and next demanded the at
tention of Apostles and other Chris
tian preachers. “And in all Judea,”
should the witness be had. The peo
ple associated with us in government
ought to be congenial, and in general
be devoted to the same objects.
When the whole state learns of Christ
we will have less hindrance and more
help, and the fact of general accep
tance here would be a strong receom
i mendation where ever our faith is
made known.
HOME MISSIONS.
Samaria was a neighboring State
to Judea, and “the light of the world”
should radiate from the Christian
centre to the neighboring providence.
Next in point of distance, it should
be next to hear the Gospel. When
the Jews were scattered by persecu
tions they went to Samaria and caused
a mighty rejoicing by tho glorious
news of a world’s Redeemer. When
these people had heard preaching the
Lord's army marched on. Not all
the Samaritans believed but the com
mand of Christ had been executed.
The early Christians could not obey
for us, and wo must not ignore tho
claims of our neighboring stales upon
us for the Gospel committed unto
us.
FOREIGN MISSIONS.
Christ’s heart embraced not only
these but His great love extended
also to “the uttermost parts of the
earth.” He was not willing that
any sohuld die but that all should
turn unto him and live. So in this
sense also ho invited the whole race
to look and live. But they could
not hear without a preacher and the
preacher could go unless he be sent.
If any body objects that God is the
i one to send them he should remem
ber that the Keys of the Kingdom
have been delivered to the church and
Heaven only binds those that are
bound on earth. God called Paul
and Barnabas but the church at An
tioch separated them and set them
apart to the work; and w’e hear Paul
afterwards say that he robbed one
church to enable him to preach to
another. Those that were able
helped the new and struggling
churces. Some of the strongest com
mendations in the Bible were those
of the inspired w’riters praising their
fellow-laborers, whether it be Phebe
by Paul, or Gains by John, neither
of which seem to be preachers but
one was a “servant” or deaconess,
the other a rich convert who enter
tained and helped preachers on their
way.
Let us take up these last words of
Christ and sacredly treasure them.
Then let us show our love to Christ
by obeying Him as He says we will
do. And ye shall be witnesses unto
Him in the city or community, the
State, the Nation, and to every crea
ture under the sun.

BIRDS-EYE VIEW.
t We have no means of knowing
that Jesus organized any churches
before he died; but we have some
reason to think that a chnrch was
organized in Jerusalem before the
day of Pentecost.
Christ’s spiritual kingdom,—the
Christian Dispensation,—was the
successor of Mosiac economy; and
for it God had been preparing the
world by Judaism. When Christ
came and set up his spiritual king,
dom and|by his death atoned for sin,
for Mosaic economy was abrogated,
having served its purpose. The
kingdom of Christ could only be or
ganized on earth through individual
churhes, and of these we may pre
sume that at Jerusalem to be the
first. The main object of organizing
churches was that, through or by
them, the Gospel might be discrimi
nated throughout the world. For
that purpose the Holy Spirit was
sent to endow its members with mir
aculous powers; hence the command
of Jesus for them to abide in Jerusa
lem until they are endowed with
power from on high. Let, then,
I. The Promised Spirit, (Les
sons 1,2,) be the first division of the
review outline. This endowment
occurred on the day of Pentecost)
when tbe church was inspired for its
work by the Holy Spirit. This was
done in a most miraculous manner,
and the immediate result was the
accession of three thousand members.
Then followed,
IT. The Prosperity of the
Church, 3, 4. At Pentecost the last
of May the membership amounted to
more than three thousand. Daily,
afterwards, new converts were added
to the church; and when tbe lame
man was cured by Peter, during the
summer, the membership amounted
to five thousand. Surely a rapid in
crease. This was the result of pun
gent practicing, followed by repen
tance, faith and baptism, the renun
ciation of sin, the acceptance of Jes
us as a Saviour, and an open confes
sion of faith and a profession of
Christianity by baptism. We are
plainly told the Christian duties,
which promoted Christian growth
and prosperity and in which the
church members continued steadfast.
1. Attending to, accepting and obey
ing docilely the “apostles doctrine”—
or teaching. 2. “In fellowship”—in
such acts of worship, kindness and
benevolenos that indicate full fellow-
ship or Christian sympathy. 3. “In
breaking of bread”—partaking of
the Lord’s Supper. 4. “In prayers”
—the services of prayer engaged in
by the church. All this cemented
the membership of the church, and
they were of one mind and spirit.
They all held their property subject
to the common benefit, so that no
one suffered from want. All was
peace, joy and prosperity. But a
change came and there ensued,
HI. Persecution of the Church.
(Lessons 5,6, 7,8, 9.) Peter and
John were imprisoned and tried by
the Sanhedrin or Council, and were
forbidden to preach the Gospel. Then
the disciples eyes were opened to the
sad reality of coming trials, but they
fled for refuge to the throne of grace
The next trial was within the
church, in the sad and awful exper
ience of Ananias and Sapphira. Yet
that so rebounded to the honor of
God and the church, that vast num
bers were converted and united with
the church. But this prosperity of
the church and the spread of Chris
tian doctrines and the plain and
truthful preaching of the apostles, so
aroused the highest Jewish authori
ties, that a violent persecution was
begun, Stephen was stoned to death
and the entire church was dispersed
and driven from Jerusalem c except
the apostles themselves. What a
lamentable state of affairs! Seven
years have elapsed since Christ’s as
cension ; and it seems as if he w'ould
enforce his own command, “Go ye
into all the world and preach the
Gospel!”
IV. The Spreading of Chris
tianity. (Lesson 10, 11.) Our les
sons tell us that wherever the dis
persed Christians went they preached
the Gospel. And particular refer
ence is made to the preaching of
'Phillip the Evangelist, who had been
one of the seven that had been elect
ed to fill the office of deacon, as
W’as the sainted Stephen also.
So many were converted at Sa
maria, where Philip preached with
great success, that Peter and John
were sent by the apostles, from Je
rusalem to investigate the work, and
pray for the Holy Spirit’s sanction,
which was vouchsafed. Then, by
divine injunction Philip hastened
towards Gaza and was the means of
the Ethiopians conversion. And
they began the Gospel to spread of
which much more will be said in our
succeeding lessons.
And this we have skimmed over,
(or reviewed) a period of seven years
—from May A. D. 30, to May A. D.
when Faul and others scattered
the Jerusalem Christians and spread
the seeds of the Gospel far and wide.

questions as will draw out fully all
