At the 2nd church Sunday morn
ing pastor Henry McDonald was able
to be present. Rev. C. W. Pruitt,
our Missionary to China, was present
and occupied the pulpit. He gave
the congregation a very interesting
sermon and included some features
of interest pertaining to his work in
China. Two were received by let
ter.
At West End pastor S. Y. Jame
son held the usual services. Afte r
his recent interesting meetings his
people are much revived and are
doing a good work. This church
under the guidance of our vigorous,
zealous and able young brother.
Jameson, is growing all the time.
Pastor E. L. Sisk of the 7th church
continued his revival meetings up to
Friday night. Bro. Sublett preached
at night. Seven were received by
experience, one by letter and one
taken under the watch care of the
church. The prospect for this church
is very flattering. Pastor Sisk
preached morning and night last
Sunday to good congregations, and
one joined at the morning service.
Pastor Oxford of Ira Street Mis
sion continued his meetings during
the past week to good congregations-
In all his additions to the church
during the summer meetings 72 have
beeu-received, 50 some odd by bap
tism. Bro. Oxford has succeeded in
paying for the lot purchased at East
point and has about $ 100 to go on
building fund. We hope soon to
see a new church spring up under
the work of these brethren out there.
Pastor A. H. Mitchell of the 3rd
church preached morning and night
and received six by letter. Had the
unpleasant duty on Saturday to bury
a little child of one of his members.
Good meeting at Piedmont Mis
sion.
Dr. J. M. Brittain occupied his
pulpit at the Central Church Sunday
morning. Received one by letter.
Bro. Pruitt, our Missionary to China,
occupied Dr. Brittain’s pulpit at
night. Gave his people an excellent
sermon. He was cordially received-
The missionary spirit has a better
hold upon the hearts of the Central
people than before Bro. Pruitt came.
Dr. Branham visited Dr. 11. C.
Hornady and reported him quite fee
ble. He is now at 37 E. Harris St.,
if any one desires to call on him.
Pastor T. A. Higdon of the 7th
church held the usual t ervices Sun
day morning and night. Received
one by letter. His church is revived
and doing good work now.
Dr. S. G. Hillyer reports that he
has closed his pastorate at Clarkston.
In a very feeling and brief address
to the pastors’ Conference Monday
morning he stated that this would
probably be his last pastoral work.
57 years ago he began as a licentiate*
and to-day he is able to thank God
that he has been able for a long time
to serve him to the best of
his ability. It is a work of
love, and he is yet able to
preach, and will be glad to do so
when called upon, though he is not
able to assume the duties of a pastor
Brother B. D. Ragsdale, of Deca
tur held the usual services at his
church last Sabbath. He attended a
meeting on Saturday, in the country,
looking to the organization of a new
association. Some eight or nine
churches of the Flint River Associa
tion, some of the 2nd Georgia, and
of the Stone Mountain, numbering
in all about 20 churahes, were repre
sented in this meeting by delegates.
Brother Ragsdale reported the atten
dance decidedly in favor of organiz
ing a new association, which will bo
done probably at some early date.
Brother Brewster spoke to the
children and congregation at North
Avenue Mission on Sunday last.
Pastor R. A. Sublett held the us
ual services at Capitol Avenue Mis
sion, and received one by letter.
Brother C. W. Pruitt was present
at the pastors conference Monday
morning and made some interesting
statements of his visit to the Cen
tennial at Louisville, and of bis
meeting with the Foreign Mission
Board at Richmond. He, and his
wife and three children will sail from
San Francisco December Gth, for
China. Our readers will remember
he has been spending several months
in Georgia, recuperating and build
ing up his physical strength
and now returns to bis work.
He went to China about ton
years ago and has been doing good
service. He spoke most encourag
ingly of the work in China, and
stated that be should return with
greater cheerfulness and hopefulness
than ever before. He bad enjoyed
the speeches, meetings and writing
on the Centennial, but he thought
one thing had been left in the back
ground. The 100 men for China, or
10 or some other number, should be
more stressed and brought to the
front. He hoped that this feature
would be more dwelt upon.
Dr. C. E. W. Dobbs, of Carters
ville, was present at the pastor’s con
ference Monday morning, on his
way to Macon, where he goes to de
liver this week four lectures to the
theological students and one lecture
on Friday night. Dr. Dobbs is do
ing good work at Cartersville and
his church is gradually growing.
Bro. J. A. Brunson, missionary
from Japan, passed through Atlanta
last week on his way home to South
Carolina. Believing he was not fit
ted for the work there he wrote a
manly letter stating the fact and now
returns home, not to go back to Ja
pan.
Mr. Charles Dobbs, son of our Dr.
C. E. Dobbs has taken editorial work
on the Daily News, Paducak, Ky.
He is a bright and intelligent young
man, and recently gave up editorial
work on the paper at Greensboro,
Ga. We predict for him a bright
future.
Bro J. M. Smith has moved from
Mcßea, Ga,, to Cochran, and desires
bis correspondents to note the
change.
We yet receive letters asking the
postofliee of Dr. J. G. Gibson cor
responding secretary of the State
Board. His postofliee is Crawford,
Ga.

Western Recorder mourns the depart
ure of this gifted brother from his
Kentucky pastorate. Geoagia will
welcome him.
The Macedonia Baptist church,
Bartow, county, having had Elder
A. S. Tatum as their pastor one year
passed resolutions commending him
to ajiy other church desiring a pas
tor. They commended him as being
faithful to every trust committed to
his care and a preacher of the pure
gospel. While they are loath to
give him up they pray God to
bless every effort made by him in
whatever field he may be called.
Palmetto—At the recent meeting
of the Fairburn Association, Rev. G.
W. Colquitt was appointed missionary
in the bounds of said Association,
without salary, he trusting to the
voluntary contributions of the
churches that he may visit for a sup
port. He accepts and enters upon
the work at once. His health is
quite bad and being compelled to re
sign his churches, he hopes to get
good in return of health and to do
good in arousing a missionary spirit
among the churches.
There will be a Centennial Meet
ing at Stone Mountain, beginning on
Friday night before the 4th Sunday
in November, and continuing till
Sunday night. An interesting and
instructive program will be arranged.
We hope to have here with us Drs.
Hawthorne, McDonald, Tichenor,
Jones and others. The brethren
are looking forward to a glorious
meeting. Every church in the coun
ty is requested to send representa

Hephzibah.—At our annual con
ference in September we unanimous
ly called Dr. T. J. Beck to be our
pastor again. Elected Bro. James
a Carswell clerk and Bro. H. L.
Murphy treasurer. These brethren
have accepted their calls and are at
work- Dr. Beck spent one week
during September in a protracted
meeting here, assisted by Dr. W. L
Kilpatrick. These brethren preach
ed several strong and effective ser
mons, presenting Christ and Him
crucified. Good seed were sown
we expect an abundant harvest.
Our Sunday school is doing well.
Reports from the church and Sun
day school at October conference
were very favorable. The minutes
of our last Association for the
past year show some good work done
by our churches in the cause of Mis
sions. Our Woman’s Missionary
Society has been active and doing
some useful work. They have raised
a considerable amount of money and
are doing many good things for
Missions. Our High school here
is in a very prosperous condi
tion. Our boarding patronage reach
es as far as Eatonton on one side
and Blackwell, S. C., on the other,
embraces some of the very best fam
ilies. Our boarding facilities meet
every demand and our school is
prosperous.
October 14th delegates from
twelve churches of Chattooga county
and from one church of Floyd coun
ty, met with the church at Summer
ville, and organized the “Chattooga
Association,” electing Rev. M. C.
Jackson, moderator, Rev.D. I. Espy,
clerk and J. N. Rush, treasurer.
The introductory sermon was
preached by Bro. Jackson. The re
ports of committees were ably pre
sented ; the discussions were har
monious, yet full of energy and en
thusiasm; especially was this true
in the discussions on Missions and
Temperance.
The Mission workers observed the
Centennial anniversary of Win Ca
rey’s missionary organizatioa on
Saturday evening.
Altogether, this young association
was and will be a success; one
strongly marked feature in its con
stitution is the pre-eminence given
to mission work. For this forward
movement we are indebted to a
great extent to our Pastor, Rev. D.
I. Espy, whose heart reaches out
beyond home and loved ones toward
the poor heathen who have never
heard of Christ. With this spirit
prevailing the churches, this Asso
ciation may yet become, as Dr. Cal
houn prayed that it should, the
banner association of Georgia.

THOSE MERGER NOTES.
lam pleasantly surprised, and I
know that all our friends will be
gratified, at the collections which are
being made on the Mercer notes.
Since I last reported through the
Index the parties named below have
sent in the sums opposite their
names. Some subscribers have paid
the entire note. Some have written
to me to draw on them through their
banks. All seem cheerful and want
to be prompt. And mark you, the
installments were not due until No
vember Ist and yet see, what has
been paid before it was due. The
odd amounts arise from the interest.
In somo cases the payment is even
money, that is caused by its being
the first installment. Subscribers
can easily tell how much they owe.
If they gave a £5.00 note the second
installment is $1.24, —if a SIO.OO
note, it is $2.48, —if a £25.00 note, it
is $6.20, —if a $50.00 note, it is
$12.40, —if a SIOO.OO note, it is
$24.80 —and so on. The interest is
6 per cent, on the unpaid part.
Let every subscriber who reads
this mail me immediately the amount
that is due and we will all be happy
and the Baptists of Georgia will re
deem the character of installment
notes and notes given for benevolent
purposes. “Remember the words of
the Lord Jesus how he said ‘lt is
more blessed to give than to re
ceive’” and take for yourselves the
larger blessing and let me have the
smaller blessing for Mercer.

GO SLOWLY BRETHREN.
Evidently there is a disposition on
the part of many good brethren in
this part of the State, to break up
present Associational Unions, and
form new Associations out of the
same churches. This is certainly
true of some brethren in my own
county of Whitfield, and I am in
formed that it is true in Floyd,
Chattooga, and perhaps other coun
ties. What is the cause of this rest
lessness? The leaders in the move
ment assign, so far as I have been
able to learn, only two reasons. (1)
They say it is desirable to have one,
and only one, Association in each
county. (2) That the present or
ganizations are doing but little for
the cause of missions and we must
re-organize in order to the better ad
just ourselves to the work. Let us
see how this is.
As to tho first reason. Any one
who is at all acquainted with the
churches in Northwest Georgia, and
with the pastors of these churches,
knows that such an arrangement is
impracticable and impossible. If it
could be done, then even, in the
strongest counties the Associations
would be too small and have entirely
too few active members to do the
work that ought to be done by our
Association, and in the weaker conn
tics the Association would amount to
nothing more than a general meeting.
The territory of one county is too
limited, and the churches and pas
tors in any one county now are too
few to create that enthusiasm in
our Associational meetings that is
desirable. We want to bring togeth
er the people in our Associational
meetings, and the people, great con.
gregations of them, will enthuse the
delegates, who in their turn will in
the work and preaching done, im
press these great congregations, and
they will go home enthused aad fired
with new zeal. Instead of dividing
the North Georgia and Middle
Cherokee, and Coosa, and Oostanaula,
and Cove Springs, I would rather
see some of them consolidated, thus
lessen, rather than increase the num
ber. It occurs to me that this is just
the change that ought to be made,
Now that the territory of the Coosa
and Cove Springs, for instance, is
bound together by two railroads,
passing directly through both, thu
making easy facilities for traveling,
does seem to me that they might
very wisely unite. So of the Mid
dle Cherokee, Oostanaula, of the
North Georgia and the Coosiewatie
The best developed Baptist country
in Georgia to-day is that occupied by
the Georgia Association, and this is
largely owing to the fact that the
Georgia is and has been for a long
time, a large, strong, aggressive, sta
ble body, and is growing larger each
year.
There may be a limit in size be
yond which an Association ought not
to grow’, but there is no Association
in North Georgia bordering on that
boundary line yet.
As to the second proposition, I
confess that it is lamentably true that
our Associations, many of them, are
doing but little, not a tithe perhaps, of
what they ought to do, but will
dividing them strengthen them?
Will dividing them increase their
efficiency? Certainly not. I have
heard brethren urge in the discussion
of this question that there was much
undeveloped talent in these old Asso
sociations. Doubtless this is true,
But shall we send away this unde
veloped talent into new and weaker
bodies as a means of development?
No one surely will say that this
would be wise. Talent is developed
by coming in contact with talent.
As uninformed and inactive Chris
tians, individually, are stimulated and
benefited by association with intelli
gent and energetic Christians, so will
the iveak and undeveloped churches
receive like benefit from Associations
with more favored churches. The
larger and the better attended Asso
ciations are, the greater the reflex in
fluence upon the churches. There
are several main objects to be accom
plished by the Association of
churches. (1) To preserve the unity
of the faith and foster piety. To
devise ways and means for the spread
of the gospel, and thus become ad
visory council. (3) To foster reli
gious education. (4) To secure the
incidental benefits afforded in all
large gatherings of consecrated chris
tain workers. All there objects can
be best secured in large and well es
tablished bodies. The very least
part of a business of an Association,
if indeed it is any part of its busi
ness, is that of collecting money
The money should be sent up from
the churches so “that there be no
gatherings” when the delegates meet.
The column headed “previously sent
up,” in the finance report, should
contain all the entries. It appears
to me, after a careful view of this
subject, that the old, well established,
well attended Associations should be
maintained and let all new churches,
as from time to time they may be
established, ally themselves with that
body, ■which, all things considered,
best suits their location. I believe it
is unwise to divide strong churches
in order to make two or three weak
ones, even if a few individuals are
accommodated thereby. I believe
the same thing in regard to Associa
tions. It is better to go farther to
the place of meeting, at greater ex
pense, if by so doing greater benefits
arc conferred and received by greater
numbers.
It is needless for me to add that I
have written this letter with somo
hesitancy, knowing as I do that good
and consecrated brethren see differ
ently, and are now engaged in the
work of separating the churches
from old Associations, and are pre
paring to organize new bodies. It is
an important question and therefore
I must protest, and that with some
earnestness. I honestly think that
tbe disruption of all the old Associa
tional bonds in this Northwest Geor
gia country would seriously retard
the work of our common Zion. Go
slowly brethren or you may hinder
rather than help that cause which is
so dear to us all.

P. S.— Just us 1 finished writing

it, this weeks Index was brought

G. S. Turnlin in a long article takes
precisely the same view I do of this

J. J. S. C.
WASHINGTON, GA.
I have lately had the pleasure of
preaching a few days in this Stately
little city. My home was at the
residence of Hon. W. M. Sims who>
with his earnest Christian wife, made
my stay exceedingly happy. Such
homes as theirs remind me to be
thankful to God for the true Chris
tian family. God’s smile is in such
homes and the bright little children
will grow beautiful in the light and
warmth of such influence. Many
others gave fresh tokens of the pro
verbial hospitality. I was reminded
of what I once heard Dr. John A.
Broadus remark or possibly quote.
“That brethren were praying the
Lord to call laborers into the Vine
yard and the good sisters were kill
ing off those already called with good
eating.”
The church in Washington is nei
ther large nor financially strong yet
they are amply able to take care of
themselves. The membership is
largely of that old middle Georgia
stock that has no superiors on earth.
They have evidently been careful
that only regenerated persons should
become members. They have also
striven manfully against the tide of
worldliness that has swept over so
many churches. And inspite of all
their care, I some how got the im
pression that some at least of the
younger members have been seeking
pleasure from unchristian amuse
ments at the expense of their piety.
I always wish that such splendid
young people might get a glimpse of
the picture the Savior saw when he
drew that figure of the magnificent
young man who was reduced to the
husks the swine did eat.
The Pastor of the Washington
church as all will remember is Rev.
A. L. Tull, a brother from the North
who was received into the Baptist
fold at Atlanta and baptized by Dr.
Hawthorne about a year ago. Os
course much of baptist custom was
new to brother Tull and he must
gradually gain the happy use of his
new armour but I learned with great
pleasure that he has the affections
of the church and has proven him
self a sympathetic and laborious pas
tor.
Our meeting though quite short
was really good. Two little girls
joined the church and others ex
pressed deep interest in the salvation
proffered in the Gospel.
1 turned away from Washington
with sincere regret that I could not
remain at least another week. That
has long been a strong hold in the
Master’s forces in Georgia and under
God they still intend noble work.
May God bless them abundantly and
crown pastor and people with grace
and power. F. C. McConnell.
RESOLUTIONS
BY PHILLIPS MILL CHURCH, WILKES
COUNTY.
The committee, to whom was re
ferred, the duty of drafting resolu
tions, appropriate and expressive of
the sense of this church, in view to
the severance of the tie of pastor
and church, as by action of the
church, in regular conference meet
ing, October Bth, would say, that
thirty-seven years ago, or more at
the instance of that Godly man, Rev.
V. R. Thornton, our brother Rev.
John R. Young, was requested, in
the illness of the former, to meet
appointments at this, one of his
churches. At the death of the for
mer, the latter was elected, by the
church pastor in charge, September
Bth, 1855 and has continuously
served the church since.
During this pastorate of so long
years, but few churches in the asso
ciation, or in tho state even, have
had the gospel in its excellency,
purity and wonderful simplicity,
more faithfully preached, than has
this. Few there be, if any, that
have received it, at the hands of a
minister, possessed of more holy as
pirations, or whose heart, was more
filled with Chistian love. As legiti
mate fruits of such a ministry, at
tended otherwise, with commendable
pastorlal efforts, we find but few
churches, can show a more contin
uous adheranco to gospel order, in
discharge of all its varied duties.
But few have excelled his, in readi
ness to contribute of earthly things,
for spiritual good. But few have

more continuously increased their
membership, the average per annum
by actual count, being above par,
with that which attended the minis
try of pastors Thornton and Jesse
Mercer. Also, and in no spirit of
self commendation, as a church, we
say, but few have abounded in bonds
of brotherly love, toward their pas
tor more abundantly than has his,
and now in view to the severance of
these ties, as by his resignation ten
dered, and on part of the church ac
cepted.
Resolved, we tender to him, our
heartfelt thanks, for that faithfulness
of pastoral work, and tenderness of
love to us as a people which can
never be appreciated fully here on
earth and hence can, only fully, bo
rewarded in heaven.
Resolved, we continue to cherish
for him, in the declining days of his
life, that love, which the labors and
worth of his earlier days, have so
strongly inspired in our hearts, and
hence shall ever welcome his visits
into our community, to our homes
and to our pulpit and wish ever to
remember him, of our substances if
needs be, and in our prayers, al
ways.
Resolved, in sense of our need, we
ask, a continuance of that, which we
know we have, his prayers.
