The Fort Gaines brethren, worship in a handsome new brick church, built and furnished, this year, as result of their untiring energy.

When weak, weary and worn out Hood’s Sarsaparila is just the medi cine to restore your strength and give you a good appetite. 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 ANO SCHOOL OF SHORT-HAND. THE MOST SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS COLLEGE !N THE SOUTHj Cheapest and Most Practical Elegant Catalogue Free, COLUMBUS, GA. 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. W. B. McG. 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.
