2 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.” Charactistics o f Hood’s Sarsapa rilla: The largest sale, the must merit, the greatest cures.

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.” Written for the Index. 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, THE CHRISTIAN INDEX; THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8. 1892. 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. E. B. Teague. 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. M. J. Webb. Millen, Ga., Aug 26, 1892. REVIEW OF THIRD QUARTER.

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.
