THE BOOK OF ISAIAH. BY S. G. HILLYER. (continued from sept. 29th.) In my last article I promised to discuss in this paper the 53d chap ter; but I have concluded, after ma ture reflection that it is not best to pass over the lljth and 42nd chap ters. I think they are two interest ing to be entirely omitted. Let the reader, therefore, turn to the 11th chapter. It is too long to introduce. But he will find that the prophet gives us some very interest ing information about'the person to whom he refers: Ist. That he should be a descendent of David. 2nd. That ho should bo clothed with the functions of government. 3rd. That he should be eminently endowed with wisdom, righteousness and goodness; and therefore fully qualified for his high office. 4th. That he should overcome his enemies, not by the sword and the spear; but by “the rod of his mouth and the breath of his lips,”—i. c. by impart ing to them a knowledge of his truth —in a word, by preaching. sth. That under his reign the most won derful effects should bo accomplished indicated by most impressive metaph ors. “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the oalf and the young lion, and the falling to gether and a little child shall lead them.” The] meaning of these words is that under the reign of this son of David, the most irreconcilable and antagonistic natures should be brought into perfect harmony,—that there should he peace on earth and good will amongst men.” And in the 10th verse, the blessedness of this kingdom is extended to the Gen tiles: ‘(‘And in that day', thefle shall be a root of Jesse which shall stand for an ensign to the people ; to it shall the Gentiles seek ; and his rest shall be glorious.” Now it is this prophecy which re veals to us that the mysterious per sonage to whom Isaiah so often al hides was the long promised Mes siah. He may have known this all the time. He, doubtless, knew the promises which God had made to the ancient fathers, and knew also the covenant which he had made with David. Hence in this chapter we distinctly learn that the person spo ken of by' the Prophet, should be of the lineage of David and should reign forever in the kingdom of God, of which, the kingdom of David was the type. In the 42d chapter we have another ’. lew of the “Coming One.” And here, wo notice a change in the key’ note of the prophetic song. The central thought, in previous predic tions/ concerning this coming one, was, that he should bo an exalted and glorious ruler. The first allu sion to him, though only’ typical sug gests the thought, that he is to be “Immanuel” i. c. “God with us.” The next presents him as one upon whose shoulder should rest the gov ernment, and whose name should be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prime of Peace. Then wo hear of him as the root and off-spring of David, reigning upon a throne and over a kingdom of which the throne and kingdom of his royal ancestor hwas but a shadow and a type. But the 42nd chapter this glowing of the coining one, (,o<i himself is the And he GHBHIH'I niv seix.mt whom 1 up elect in whom niv Soul 1 Wll ' I" 1 ’ upo 1( br in '■ f-rth pulmii, of ' In t ; ■ wo: I i|:,. ]'f<— ent. d to . 11l th.

Again he said : “I came ■HHIHto do mine own will, but the him Tiial s.-rit me," t bus a- siim ||||||Ba subordinate position. But while his glory suffered, tor a time, so great an eclipse, yet the record shows that he was born to be a king; He went forth to his life work with out a murmur or complaint. In this sense, he did “not cry’ nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the streets.” He went forth, with a heart full of compassion for all that were in sorrow ; thus fulfilling the words: “A bruised reed he shall not break; the smoking flax he shall not quench.” Again it was said : “He shall not fail nor be dis couraged till he has set judgment in the earth, and the gentiles shall wait for his Law’.” Thus teaching us that he should appear as a servant yet the rank and authority of a king should be given him. Another place where the coming one is presented to us, is in the 53rd chapter here the shadow on his life deepens. We see him not only as a servant, but as a sufferer. He is in the dark valley of humiliation. “He is a root out of dry ground, without form or comeliness.” “He was des pised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.” * * * “But he was wounded for our transgressions, the chastise ment of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes we are healed.” “And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death,” * * * “When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hands.” I have not quoted all the Prophet’s words, but enough, I hope, to show how completely Isaiah described the closing scenes in the of our blessed Savior. So truly was the description fulfilled in Christ, that if we did not know’ better, we might suppose that Isaiah was a contempo rary of the evangelists. But when Jesus was born at Bethlehem, the Book of Isaiah had been for centu ries in the canon of the Jewish Scrip tures. Now the question naturally arises: How could Isaiah venture to tell his hearers of one w’ho should appear in the distant future for the redemp tion of his people ? And how’ could he so describe that One, as to make his character, his life and death, to represent the actual character, life and death of an actual historical per sonage who lived 700 years after his own time? > To these questions i there can be but one answer; he wrote As he was moved by’ the Holy Spirit. And thus we have verified to us the saying: “The Spirit of Prophecy is the testimony of Jesus.” His coming, therefore, was according to the foreknowledge and purpose of the Most High. But Isaiah foretells, not only the outward facts of his life, and death ; but the Prophet distinctly declares, that the sufferer whom he describes, shall die for the sins of his people. Here we have revealed to us the sublime doctrine of expiation,—a doctrine w hich underlies the glorious scheme of human salvation. Nor is this all. The resurrection and priesthood of this great sufferer are to my mind, clearly indicated. Mark the words: “When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong bis days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.” Now how could ho prolong his days? Notice : he was said to do this, when his soul should be made an offering for sin. But he did this in his death. (Sec vv 8,9). There fore he was to prolong his days after his death. This could only be by rising from the dead. And this resurrection was neces sary, that ho might, be qualified, as he had already made his soul (or life) an offering for sin, to become a high priest forever; “not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.” see Heb. 7: 15. So of Jesus it is said : “he was delivered for our of fences and was raised again for our justiefiation. One more thought and I close. Isaiah was emphatically a Missionary Prophet. He saw’ in the coming Messiah, the Redeemer, not only of the Jews but of the gentiles also. And he rejoiced in the vision. It is wonderful to notice with what rap ture he begins the 54th chapter just as he closes his account of the Mes siah. I wish I could quote it all— but it is lietter to read it. Turn to it my brethren, and read its burning words, and remember that the words there spoken were spoken to you, for you were gentiles. That 54th chapter anticipates the words: “Go disciple all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost.” 78 Wheat street, Atlanta, Ga. THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY. OCTOBER 13. 1892. 4SKD AND ANSWBD. BY C. E. W. DOBBS. 1. Who baptized Paul ? 2. When was he converted, be fore, or after, he reached Damascus ? 3. Was he a bachelor or wid ower ? Student. 1. Ananias. This is not stated in so many words, but it seems clear ly inferable from the record. The New Testament lays little stress on the administrator of the ordinances. 2. “Converted” is ambiguous. In the New Testament it denotes a “turning to the Lord.” The same Greek word is found in Acts 3 :19 > Acts 9:35 ;26 :20 ; 15:3, and else where. It is a process, the success ive steps of which are more or less distinctly marked in different indi viduals. Paul’s conversion began when he realized his sin in perse cuting Jesus, and cried out, “What shall Ido Lord ?” It was complet ed, and he received clear spiritual vision, when loving message came to his mind and heart through Ana nias. (Acts 9 :17-18.) Dr. Harris, in the Baptist Teacher, has this par agraph: It is perhaps impossible to say exactly when the change took place. The question “Lord, what wilt thou have me to do ?” is not proof of a renewed nature. It indi cates rather the Pharisaic folly of supposing tiiat he could do some thing to work out bis own deliver ance. We may say with certainty that his conversion began when he was stricken down on the road, and was completed when he arose and was baptized. The intervening steps are covered from our eyes. The phrase, “completed when he arose and was baptized,” is liable to misapprehension, though understand ing “conversion” in the broad sense as Dr. Harris used it, it is defensible. Still the ordinary use of “conver sion,” as denoting the “change of heart,” makes the phrase objection able. Baptism is merely the for mal act in which conversion is sym bolized. 3. Bachelor. The arguments by which some have sought to make him a married man or widow er, arc quite inconclusive. There is no ev idence that when he says, “I gave my voice against them”—“vote,” in the Reeiscd Version. (Acts 26:10,) he refers to his act as a member of the Sanhedrin, which was composed of inarlied men or widowers only. Our opinion of that passage is that bo merely refers to his participation in the real work of persecutions par ticularly in the stoning of Stephen. The word for “voice,” or “vote,” is Cpseephos,” a stone ; and the apos tle probably refers to his having cast the first stone, as the chief witness, on that memorable occasion. See Acts 7 :58 ; and 8 :1, compared with Dent. 17 :7. 1. Why is it that what was pre dicted under the phraseology “bap tized in the Holy Spirit” never had this phraseology applied to it iu the fulfillment ? And are there any other instances of a like difference in phraseology or name ? 2. How do we know that Pente cost affords an instance of this bap tism since it is not expressly said that any body was “baptized in the Holy Spirit” on that day ? The same query applies to the meeting at the house of Cornelius. 3. If these two occasions afford instances of the baptism in question, Why do we say “perhaps” Samaria and Ephesus afford two other in stances ? 4. Samaria comes between Pen tecost and the meeting at Cesarea. Is there not equal reason to suppose, another instance between those two occasions? See Acts 4:23-31 in clusive. 5. Why the laying on of hands in Samaria and Ephesus ? 6. May not the laying on of bands in the case of Timothy have been on the occasion of his baptism ? P. S. W. 1. The predictions of the “bap tism in the Holy Spirit” are found in John’s words in Matt. 3 :11, and the parallel passages, Mark 1:8 ; Luke3;l6; John 1 :4-5, Luke puts similar words iu the mouth of the risen Jesus. Evidently the evange list connected the language with his own recorded promise of the Lord in Luke 24 :58-49. Whatever was meant by being “indued with pow er from on high,” the same was meant by the phrase “baptized in the Holy Spirit” as found in Acts 1 :5. The word “indued” is rendered “clothed” in the Revised Vision. It is the Greek “enduo,” found in Matt. 6:25; 22:11; 27:31; Mark 1:6; (5:17; Luke 15:22; Acts 12:21; Gal. 3 :27, elsewhere. The thought is that the disciples should put on divine power, as a man envelops himself in his garment. The same figure is seen in Isa. 52 ;1; Psi. 93 :1; Isa. 59 :17; and elsewhere in the Old Testament. “Baptism” strik ingly expressed the idea. So Plumptre, the eminent Episcopa lian commentator, on Matt. 3 :11> says : “As heard and understood at the time, the baptism with the Holy Ghost would imply that the souls thus baptized would be plunged, as it were, in that creative and inform ing spirit.” On Acts 1 :5 : “Now they were told that their spirits were to be as fully baptized—that is, plunged— into the power of the Divine Spirit as their bodies had then been plung ed in the waters of the Jordan.” Lange, as translated by Dr. Schaff, on Matthew 3:11 says : “I baptize you in water, immersing you in the element of water. ... He will entirely immerse you in the Holy Spirit.” This is enough to show the appro priateness of the phrase as used by John and our Lord. As to the ful fillment, there can be little question. The phrase “not many days hence,’’ limits it to a short period. The day of Pentecost came ten days after the Lord’s farewell. The record of the wonders of that day seem to fix the fulfillment as occurring then. That the phrase; “baptized in the Spirit,” is not applied to the fulfillment does not at all matter. The clothing in the divine power was given that day, the souls of the disciples were then immersed in the Holy Spirit. 2. The foregoing answers this question. It may be added that when Peter rehearsed the story of his going to Cornelius, he distinctly implies that he regarded the re markable giving of the Spirit on that occasion as an instance of the “baptism in the Holy Spirit.” See Acts 11 :15-16. In Luke’s account (Acts 10 :44-46) the same thing is implied, if not distinctly stated. 3. Because the evidence in these instances is not so conclusive. The Holy Spirit seems to have been giv en in extraordinary measure to many in the city church, but it does not appear that the special and pe culiar “pow’er” attending the “bap tism in the Spirit” was so general. The instances in Acts 8 :15-17 and 19 :6 seem to be on a somewhat higher plane. ,4. jpeident in Acts 4 :31 was merely a renewed Bianifestation of abiding “power” previously given. 5. “Laying on of hands” is a cus tom as old as the race, and was used in the patriarchal and Mosaic dispensations as a symbol of religious blessing. In the New Testament it has the same significance. Lange, in the Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia, says that “our Lord healed at first by laying on of hands.” (Mark 6 :5 ; Luk 4:41), but gradually passed over to the exclusive use of the word of power in order that he might not encourage the popular idea that there was a necessary con nection between the laying on of hands and the cure.” Certainly as practiced by the apostles, the “lay ing on of hands” conferred spiritual power ; it was apparently more than a symbol. For some reason which inspiration has not seen fit to reveal, this prerogative was conferr ed on the apostles. Paul's language to Timothy implies more than the observance of a mere symbolic cus tom. 1 Tim. 4 :14 ; 2 Tim. 1 ;5. The use of the word “through,” or by means of, (Greek dia), shows that in some sense the imposition of the hands of the apostle was the me dium of conveying the supernatural “gift.” So Dr. Harvey, in the “American Commentary.” We con clude that the “laying on of hands” in Samaria and Ephesus was an ex ercise of the peculiar apostolic pre rogative, and was for the purpose of of bestowing the extraordinary gift, of the Holy Spirit. Further we qon elude that this prerogative was confined to apostles, and ceased when that specialjand extraordinary class of ministers ceased. The apos tles had no “successors” indeed could not have had, seeing that an essential qualification for the apos tleship was to have “seen the Lord.” 6. Rather on the occasion of his formal induction into the ministry. There is no evidence that baptism was ordinarily accompaaied, or fol lowed by the laying on of hands. 1. Has a sister a right to prefer charges against a brother in confer ence? 2. Can a Baptist Church take the evidence of a Pedobaptist against a brother in the Baptist Church ? 3. Can a Baptist Church take the testimony of one not a member of any church against a brother Bap tist ? Deacon. 1. Yes. It would be better for the sister, however, to confer with pastor and deacons about the matter. Such a conference would usually re lieve the sister of the unpleasant duty. 2. Yes. The church in all cases should wish to know the truth and the whole truth. It is right to seek the truth from reputable witnesses of any kind. There are many occa sions when to refuse such testimony would defeat the end of justice and common morality. 3. This is practically answered in above. ©he gHutdau-echxwl PETER AT OEBAREA. Lesson for Oct. 23rd, 1892. Scripture Lesson : Acts 10:30-48. Motto Text :—Through his name whosoever believed in him shall re ceive remission of sins. Acts 10:43. INTRODUCTIOn. In our last lesson two visions were presented. By such means some new truth of great importance is to bo imparted. There is one common teacher, and the pupils now w idely separated by race, manner of life, and habits of thought are to be brought into one class and learn the same lesson. The lesson is indeed a new one both to Peter and Corneli us. Over against Peter’s strong Jewish notions about mingling with the Gentiles was the Roman pride in Cornelius, little inclined to conde scend so low as to ask for light and instruction from an obscure Jew. Peter resisted the instruction for only a moment. Both show ready obe dience to the divine direction, and graciously docs the lesson unfold to them. The verses between our last lesson and this relate the conference be tween Peter and the messengers from Cornelius, and their journey to Cesa rea. Six of Peter’s brethren accom pany him. The reason for this is not stated but it seems a wise precaution to have them along. Cornelius had “called together his kinsmen and near friends” and they are awaiting Peter’s arrival. EXPLANATORY. * I. Cornelius explains.—Vs. BO SS. The remarkable character of the vision inspires Cornelius with great reverence. Peter was welcom ed with almost divine worship, and the company gathered together are ready to give earnest heed. A man —The angel in form of man. Send to Joppa—The angel had no com mission to give instruction. Immedi ately—Eager to gain further in. struction. Thou hast well done THAT THOU ART COME —“A COUrtC ous and classical expression of thank fulness.” Before Gon—Recogniz ing God’s presence. We all here —He ha<l influenced his friends and kinsmen to give favorable attention. Commaded thee of God—Acknowl edges Peter as messenger of God. 11. Peter preaches.—Vs. 34-43. I perceive—Have just been taught in a vision. No respecter of per sons—“ God will not save a man be cause he is a Jew, or because he is rich, or learned, or of elevated rank, or on account of external privileges; nor will he exclude a man because be is destitute of these privileges.” Not according to who men are, but what they are. Feareth him—Duty to ward God. WORKETH RIGHTEOUS NESS —Duty toward our fellow men. Accepted with him —Acceptable is a better word. “Capable of becom ing a Christian when the oportunitv is granted, not of obtaining salvation without Christianity.” The burden of Peter’s sermon is to show that sal vation is through Christ. Preaching peace—Peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Lord of all— Not simply a prophet or teacher. Os Gentile as well as Jew. Ye know —The knowledge of Christ's life and work had been scattered throughout Palestine. Peter gives a very brief summary, and proclaims that these things are true since the apostles are witesses. The apostles, having been eye-witnesses, now show forth the facts of that life, and also declare the meaning and power of that life. Peter has no time for any matters personal or irrelevant. With direct ness he presents the person, work and office of Christ. Judge—As well as Savior. Prophets—Some knowl edge of the Old Testament seems here to be presumed on the part of Corne lius and his friends. Remission of Sins—This is man's greatest need: since he is a lost sinner without any way of escape. 111. The Holy Ghost Descends. —Vs. 44-48. While Peter yet spake.—Even before he had finished his discourse. All which heard — Others besides Cornelius. The Jews who came with Peter are astonished- Speak with tongues—This sounds like the description of Pentecost. It may be called the Pentecost of the Gentiles. Can any man forbid water?—They having believed and received the Holy Ghost is a reason for their being baptized. Thus the lesson is made plain to all that Jews and Gentiles are to receive like privi leges and blessings on equal and like conditions. The wall of partition is broken down. suggestions. 1. For what thing or things did Cornelius pray? We are not told, and perhaps it is not of the highest purpose. “We know not what we should pray for as we ought.” The Lord knows and gives what is best. 2. “Peter preaches justification by faith. (1). Through the name of Jesus. (2) The condition. Believ eth in Him. (3) The universality of the offer. Whosoever, implying that all men need forgiveness. (4). Implying salvation from sin and its consequences.” 3. There exists to-day a great deal of prejudice like Peter’s. We are ignorant of the needs of others for the Gospel, and of the Gospel’s fit ness for them. Or else we are great ly indifferent to these things. God by a vission convinced Peter. By his providence he is unfolding won derful lessons for us to-day if we would only learn them. The break ing down of the barriers and the opening up of all the nations to the Gospel is surely meant to be to us a voice calling for the Gospel. Let us learn the lesson and hasten to obey. In my boyhood days I frequently heard preachers of the anti-mission ary or Hard Shell, persuasion. I recall one who had a peculiar way of fixing his gaze on some particular spot, in front of the pulpit, and en ergetically, and some times vehe mently, delivering his whole dis course to that spot. I thought he selected some prominent nail head> and ignored softer heads before him. On one occaision raising his head, not bis nail head, he discovered, to his great discomfiture, that the nail was fully as attentive to him as many of his brethren: for many of them were asleep. For one time: with uninspired language he address ed them, stressing with great force the words: “Wake up brethren, I’m in a tight.” He wanted a waked up congrega tion: and so if I were called on to give in one word the wants of our section, that word would be agita tion. We need an awakening throughout our .whole Association, to the demands of the times. This awakening, itself a result, or effect, must have its proper cause or causes, and here wants of another character appear. Our pulpits may not be as fully alive to the great issues before us as they might be. Here Ido not wish to be understood as speaking dispar agingly of the Ministry, for our preachers are earnest, and I believe sincere: but I do think that we all need to come more in touch with our great denominational interests. The support of the Gospel at home,, and the glorious missionary enter prises certainly enter into the work which Paul determined to know. I know of no better way of enthu sing the pulpit than by religious literature. A knowledge of the wonderful facts in Missionary fields must set in operation forces in heads and hearts that impinging on other heads and hearts shall so agitate as to awaken them. We want then missionary inteligence. Let this be furnished, both, pulpits and pews, by special appropriations of our Boards. Let us use the Press for all it is worth; and who can estimate its value? Let the short histories of our mis sions, written by Bell, Taylor, Mc- Cormick, Pritchard, Tichenor and others, be placed in the hands of the Sunday School children, the breth ren and sisters, and we shall soon see a greater interest than now ap pears. We need to have special sessions in which papers are read on these mis sion fields, prepared by church mem bers, or others interested. We need agitation, arousement, awakening, and I believe the above method will greatly aid in such an achievement. I was approached to-day by a colored preacher, and invited to at tend his Association, soon to con vene in our city. I shall attend. I suggested to him that it might be well to have all the preachers of his people to meet occaisonally and dis cuss our religious interests. He said they needed just such meetings. Our colored brethren ex press themselves as ready and will ing and anxious to receive help from us. We should show ourselves as ready and willing and anxious to aid them as they are to receive aid- E. B. Carroll. LaGrßnge, Ga., Oct. 4tb, 1892. To-day being the 10th anniversary of the organization of the W Oman’s o Missionary Society of our church, an interesting celebration of it was held. After devotional exercises led by the President, our first President: Mrs. L. Pitts read a paper giving circumstances of organization and reviewing the work of the society. She touchingly referred to its or ganization as one of the last works of the lamented pastor Hardin. The review was at once encouraging and discouraging,—encouraging to see our “littles” in the aggregate amount to so much, —discouraging to note the smallness of our self-denial for the Master. Letters of greeting, cheer and en couragement were read from Mrs. W. B. Frost, of Hephzibah, the first Secretary, and Mrs. W. W. Arnold, of Richland, the first Treasurer. A similar message from Mrs. B. C. Ferrell first on the roll and prominent in the work in its begin ning thrilled our hearts with sympa thy, and love for this aged sister. Earnest exhortations and loving greetings from Mr. and Mrs. R. R. McKay, our former pastor and his wife, inspired and cheered us. Then from looking backward, one of our young members, Mrs. E. Cal loway, turned our thoughts to the possibilities of the society. With enthusiasm and earnestness she showed that, if each one realized her individual responsibility to the cause of missions, and responded heartily to the measures proposed, the possibilities were unlimited. Practically she urged punctual at tendance on the part of each one» the interesting of others in missions, the increasing of our information concerning mission fields, systematic and regular giving, prayer for more laborers, even one from our own number. If this be done, we may confidently expect great blessings from God. On motion the messages were or dered to be spread upon the min utes. Collection at the meeting amount ed to $ 20. 25. After prayer for blessing upon the gift, it was voted to be sent to foreign missions through the treas urer of our church. The meeting was an inspiration to all present.
