church enterprises, and his faithful
wife is one of the most earnest ahd
faithful lady workers in this section.
The Fort Gaines brethren, worship
in a handsome new brick church,
built and furnished, this year, as

services at once before he makes
other engagements. Friend.

MISSIONARY SPIRIT IN THE
FRIENDSHIP ASSOCIATION.
The work being done by our ven
erable brother G. W. Weekly as col
porteur costs very little and is con
fessed to be of great value. His
appointment is to be continued.
The retiring executive committee
recommended the association at its
recent session to arrange with the
State Mission Board for the employ
ment of a missionary from April Ist
to October Ist of next year at the
expense of our own churches, to
preach in destitute parts of our ter
ritory. The recommendation was
unanimously approved and was re
ferred to the new executive commit
tee with instructions to carry it into
effect.
Several houses of worship and the
services of an additional minister for
a part of tho year are needed in
Sumter county. The county Baptist
Union has agreed to supply these
wants at its own expense.
I am unprepared to write definite
ly about she destitution in in other
parts of Southwest Georgia. Doubt
less other brethren will perform that
service. A. B. Campe ell.
Griffin, Ga., Oct. sth, 1892.
We are inexpressibly pained to
inform you of tho critical illness of
our beloved pastor, Rev. F. M.
Daniel who has been confined to his
bed quite a while. He is passing a
very trying season of hay-fever,
which, together with other complica
tions of a pulmonary nature have
completely prostrated him.
His condition has not only saddened
tho hearts of the members of his
church by whom he is dearly loved
but tho community has mourned his
illness, for he has a warm place in
all hearts. It is needless to say
how much we miss him, for the ab
sence of such a man as Bro. Daniel
cannot fail to awaken tho keenest
sense of loneliness. We know that
God never afflicts unnecessarily, that
He is carrying out his plans in our
lives and that wo have His constant
support. We earnestly trust that
He will restore our dear Pastor to
health to his family and bis people
in His good time. Bro. Daniel, for
titude under suffering is wonderful.
We feel that we have your deep
sympathy in our sorrow and earnest
ly ask your prayers for us in our
deep affliction Yours,
J. P. N.
. SOUTH GEORGIA’S NEEDS.
1. Consecration.
We need more consecration of
time and means to God’s service.
Too many of our people are appar
ently satisfied with a monthly ser
vice. Family altars are neglected,
largely. Prayer meetings in coun
try churches are almost unknown,
and in most of the towns the atten
dance is small. Preachers support
themselves at the plow or otherwise
to a great extent, and yet the ser
vice rendered the churches in one
visit a month is not worth much.
Some of the larger towns support
their pastors and are doing well.
Many churches have no Sabbath
School, and in many tho great need
is efficient teachers. This is the
dark side. We rejoice that many
of our people are awaking to the
importance of working and their
efforts are being felt in every place
There is growth, but it is slow.
Very few of the wealthier of our
people seem to have felt or realized
their power to do good with money,
while the masses in moderate cir
cumstances have had poor training
in the grace of giving. This is true
in all departments of Christian work-
Systematic giving is necessary to
successful w'ork. The custom of
leaving young converts without
training or work to do is a crying
evil. We run our churches too
much on the hospital and too little
on the army style. Our pastors are
nurses rather than commanders and
leaders. We carry on desultory de
fensive warfare with aggressive evil
and error. We need aggressive
work. Some churches and some in
dividuals are doing fine work and
the future is brighter. We are mak
ing converts to missions and Baptist
principles.
2. Education. ■ Zeal without
knowledge is dangerours. Without
wisdom to direct effort is dissipated.
Why the sowing if there is none to
reap the harvest,? Better a wilder
ness than a field of tares. We need
education of head, baud and heart.
Thank God the days of ridiculing
theological educetinp-'-ai’e rapidly
passing away, dur* preachers are
studying as never before but they
need books and time to read them.
There is a growing and impera
tive demand for an educated, con
secrated ministry, for men able to
defend truth and defeat error.
South Georgia is a hot-bed of isms
and has more difficulties for preach
ers than any part of the state. We
are in the chaos of a new creation inci
dent to material development and in
the midst of tho battle for vantage
ground. It is a crisis for Baptists,
a time when a slight deflection of
our theological compass may wreck
us on the rocks of error and dis
aster.
We need more and better schools
and teachers. Wo are in the very
heart of a territory 300 miles square
in which we have only one institu
tion of high grade for the education
of our daughters. We are trying to
build a Female College to supply
this lack, and how our hearts are
burdened to know who will help us!
Georgia’s cities derive an immense
revenue from our forests, and cor
porations and individuals are enrich
ed by commerce in our lands, lum
ber, cotton and other products, but
seem to care little or nothing for
the moral and mental elevation of
our people.
Alas for the heartlessness of incor
porated avarice!
Our people need literature. Books,
papers, etc, adapted to their wants,
There is a demand for such litera
ture as is adapted to our peculiar,
transient conditions. Our papers
need to deal with the real, live issues
of this day and generation. It may
bo all right as far as it goes, to glory
in the “history of tho father’s,” but
we apprehend that wo too, are mak
ing history, and fear a comparison
with the consecration of our. fathers
might place us in an enviable light.
Brethren wo do not ask that you
help others or other interests less,
but pray help us in South Georgia
more.
Since January, I have traveled
in 50 counties and preached in 35.
Tho time is not of harvest but of
■owing. Much is void of form but
the Spirit is moving on the face of
chaos and we look for a brighter
day and a better success.
Being pressed for time and desir
ous of getting this article in on time
I have requested Bro. P. A. Jesup
to write of our third greatest need
viz: concentration.
Yours in the work,
J. A. Scarboro.
concentration.
The power of God’s people must
be focused.
Most men become “too thin” if
spread out. Even a mogul engine
carries but one train of cars.
If these Baptists ever “set the
world on fire” it will be when all
their thoughts, efforts and energies
are bent in one direction.
Our needs in this line may be out
lined as follows:
Ist. A ministry concentered
might and main, heart and soul,
“week in and week out” in winning
souls and training churches.
A ministry whoso conception of
this sacred office, is that one part of
a minister’s time can be given as
teacher or farmer or insurance
agent with the best thoughts of all
waking hours, to business—needs
remodelling.
When will our ministry take up
Paul’s Motto: “This one thing I
do”? “Herein do I exercise myself?”
Oh, we need all the time, all the
heart, all the brains and all the ef
forts of all our preachers in the one
work of winning souls for Christ
and training churches.
2nd. Wc need all our forces aim
ing and working for a higher spirit
uality. Looseness of spirit and loos
eness of life! How painful! It
must be bettered and we want every
brother and sister to give thought
and prayer to this end.
3rd. We need concentrated ef
fort in our mission work.
Let the sermons, songs, readings,
prayers and talks at home and
church be so as to fire the hearts, of
our people on this great work.
The blacksmith conquers his iron
and hammers it in shape by forging
the heat in one place and beating
with sledge stroke after stroke in the
same place. After all a higher spir
ituality more thoroughly trained
Mind and more mission spirit is
the great need of our people.
Written for tho Christian Index.
Cedartown, Ga., Oct, 7th, 1892.
Just getting my goods straighten
ed out in the new Pastonum at Ce
dartown. I have but a few mo
ments m which to comply with the
requests of Dr. Gibson, to write a
short article oa the “wants of this
station.”
Speaking for the whole of North
West Georgia we want.
1. More missionary spirit.
2. A more aggressive spirit.
3. More enthusiasm in denomi
national education.
4. Better organization among our
people for efficient work.
5. Specially and pressingly we
need a first class man of wisdom,
zeal and energy who can give the
whole, or part of his time to general
denominational enterprises, holding
Ministers, Institutes, organizing the
brethren for the establishment of
our schools, encouraging the mis
sionary spirit by holding missionary
mass meetings etc, etc.,
I believe the, tendency is upward
and onward, but the carrying out
of this last suggestion, I think,
would greatly help the cause.
Wm. 11. Cooper.
SEMINARY LETTER.
We have had the grandest open
ing of the Seminary in its history.
One hundred and sixty-five matricu
lated the first day is something no
Theological Seminary except our’s
can boast of. They gather from all
sections of our country. Two from
England, and one from Canada,
France and Germany each. Things
have not settled down yet, but in a
week or so the the new students will
feel at home.
Through the efforts of Dr. Ker
foot and Prof. Robertson the build
ing has been kalsomincd. They
with tho help of our genial caterer,
Bro. Turner, of South Carolina, will
keep the building in order.
To our great pleasure, Dr. Broad
us begins the session in good health.
At the beginning of each session he
gives the students some general ad
vice, In his remarks Saturday ho
mentioned how he had been praying
for weeks for the presence of the
Holy Spirit this session, and besought
the students to join hands and make
this the best of all. To this end he
said. 1. See to it that you are de
vout. Evil tendencies will draw
you down unless you tight. Fight to
become better men. 2. Pay spe
cial attention to bodily health. Put
on warm clothing now. Use the
gymnasium regularly and take
long walks. 3. There is special
need of brotherly kindness. Asso
ciation with fellow students is of as

much value as your professors. Get
acquainted with each other. Love
each other and strive to make life
agreeable to all.
Dr. Sampey, the librarian, has sot
it in order, and added to the already
collection of rare books, Dr. Manly’s
magnificent library.
Dr. E. C. Dargan’s inaugural ad
dress Saturday night on “The Bap
tist preacher for this day” was a
master piece. 1. He should have
a firm theological basis ; that truth
must be assimulated before it can be
preached effectivey ; Baptist preach
ers must be loyal to truth and have
a firm view as to the source of theol
ogy. The Bible, God’s Word when
rightly understood contains no er
rors. Don’t reject the strong meat
of authority for last centuries’ hash.
2. He should have a sound edu
cation. Should have broad knowl
edge, especially in his own line.
Our age demands preachers of gen
eral knowledge. Shoulcbknow some
thing of art, music and sciences, so
as to cope with the scepticisms of
their age. 3. The preacher should
be a man of high personal character.
He is expected to be better than the
average Christian. Spirituality and
personal character- is the main stay
of every preacher. Our learning and
all else is for one purpose. God’s
glory, only one object to serve him.
The following Georgia students
have matriculated : N. W, P. Ba
con, J. J. A. Ponder, W. A. Moffett,
G. B. Thrasher, Wm. B. McGarity.
Several others are expected.

BIRD'S-EYE VIEW OF SOME THINGS
IN ALABAMA.
Our numbers are large, over a hun
dred thousand white Baptists; nearly
as many colored. The latter are
quite as active as the former, build
ing church houses, sending their chil
dren to school, improving their min
istry. Our own ministry are a vast
improvement in culture on the past
generation, and less cultured men are
more numerous and active.
East Alabama enjoys the services
'of a batch of very efficient men—W.
C. Bledsoe, of LaFayette, J. P. Shaf
fer, of Dadeville, George E. Brewer
of Alexander City, Z. D. Roby, of
Salem—Eger, Townshend, Purser,
of Troy, and the elder Purser soon
to be at Opelika. We omit titles
which would make your columns all
ablaze. Not a few untitled quite the
equals of these in most respects,
building platforms, in town and coun
try, for their successors to stand upon
—draft-horses, who do much of the
needed work. South, is Eufaula,
without a pastor just now; Colum
bia, where brother Burr has jiist re
signed; Selma, manned by the gifted
young A. J. Dickinson, of the old
V irginia stock; Mobile, by J. J. Tay.
lor, reputed one of our strong men,
mentally and spiritually; Tuskaloosa,
resigned by Ramsay, who goes to
Charleston, S. C. It is not meant to
ignore T. IL Stout, I. A. White, or
many other less known to the writer,
or whose names less readily occur.
North are Pickard, Hale, Whittle
Giles, all of Birmingham—Shackel
ford, Glenn, Gunn, and many others,
who cannot now be mentioned. Our
design is to indicate a host of laborers
and leaders. It deserves to be men
tioned in an especial way, that P. T.
Hale, of Southside, Birmingham
and his brethren, are just getting in
sight of tho end of a most heroic
work, rearing a noble house of wor
ship, an achievement of which ninety
nine out of a hundred churches would
have despaired, under the circum
stances.
There have been, and are now be
ing reported many revivals among
our churches, albeit a new departure
in protracted meetings seems to bo
demanded. They are getting too
exclusively looked to, as times of ac
cession ; to the great disparagement
of tho stated labors of pastors. Many
really converted people linger out
side of tho churches, because they
have not experienced the transport
ing emotions characterizing protract
ed meeting ceremonies.
Much has been done to secure
Baptist foothold in around Birming
ham, to Alabama what Atlanta is to
Georgia, and much more we think.
Our college is moved there ; a good
ly number of our strong young men,
“clerical and lay,” are there; we
ought to have a great female as well
as male school there, co-education or
something of the kind. There is
danger of the Catholics educating the
girls, in what is destined to bo one
of the greatest of cities.
Ministerial education is command
ing much attention among us, carried
forward mainly by tho indefatigable
exertions of Dr. W. C. Cleveland,
president of the Board, a man of
great force, unambitious of anything
but the honor of the Master. But
enough now. E. B. Teague.
