2 ASKED AND ANSWERED. BY C. K. W. DOBBS. I have long thought that in pub lic prrayer our preachers are too stilted in the terms they apply to God. For example, my pastor last Sunday commenced his prayer thus : “Almighty and Glorious God. ’ AN hy should we not follow the Savior’s custom and say simply, “Our Fath ery” * DAYMAN. Perhaps our brother’s pastor may be too “stilted,” but the reverent ad dress adduced does not prove him to be so. It strikes us that that prayer was most appropriately begun, what ever may have been true of the rest of it. Then is Layman quite sure that he has informed himself as to our Lord’s custom in prayer ? Cer tainly the gospel narratives do no 1 inform us that Jesus was accustomed to begin his prayers with the alleged address. In Matt. 11:25, we read: “At that season Jesus answered and said, I thanic thee, O Falher, Lord of heaven and earth,” etc. How im pressievly appropriate was this rec ognition of God as the Sovereign of the universe. Certainly Jesus here “sets us the example of employing in prayer such names of God, and phrases descriptive of him, as arc appropriate to the special subject of the prayer, or of each particular por tion of it.” We do not overlook the instances in which Jesus addressed God simply as Father, as in Luke 23:85; John 11 :41 ; 12:28; 17 :2, but the foregoing example shows that it was not his invariable manner. Nor do the recorded prayers of the apostles sustain Layman’s criticism- When a successor to Judas was to be selected, they prayed and said, “Thou Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show,” etc. When Peter and John returned to their own com. paiiy from the council, they knelt among the gathered elect and pray ed, saying, “Lord, thou art God, who hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is > who by the mouth of thy servant David,” etc. (Acts 1:24; 4:24.) These examples authorize similar reverent and appropriate terms in our approaches to the throne of grace. There are some phrases which should be avoided in prayer, such as “dear Lord,” “precious Je sus,” “indulgent Father,” and simi lar expressions, which ’are strongly suggestive of cant. We should avoid, too, the constant repetition of the divine name in prayer. What should bo done with a mem ber who gives more of his influence to the Methodist Church than to the Baptist and acts as chairman of a Committee to build a Methodist par sonage but docs biit little to encour age his own church to build? He says ho does not believe all the doc trines of our church and says that he has a goocLmind to join the Meth odists. J. c. M. Such a member is clearly out of sympathy with his church, nnd ho should be kindly admonished by ju. dicious brethren. There may be something more the matter than ap pears upon the surface, and a kind and fraternal inquiry by those in whom the brother has entire confi dence may bring it to light. It is possible he is aggrieved with his pastor or some of the members and is taking this method of airing his grievance. Os course it is a very unlovely way of doing, but there is.no accounting for one’s ac tion when he gets that special “dem on” in his heart. As to his not be lieving “all the doctrines of our church”’ it may bo said that some generally recognized “Baptist doc trines” are essential to the integrity of the denomination, while others are not fundamental. For example, believer’s baptism (immersion) can not l>e denied and one consistently remain in a Baptist Church. The same may be said of the doctrine of a “regenerate membership.” But one may not believe in tho “final penseverance of the saints,” and still be a Baptist. So of so-called “close communion.” While wo believe that restricted communion is clearly demanded by the Scriptures, the evidence is not so positive, nor is the subject of such a nature, as to make it a fundament'll doctrine. Spur geon was a Baptist, notwithstanding his inconsistent loose communion. In all probability the brother referr ed to has Methodist affiliations or as sociations which are influencing him. Certainly bis conduct, as given in the inquiry, is inconsistent with a loyal devotion to the church of which he is a member. If he persists in his conduct, the church should with draw fellowship. What is the “American Commen tary” you so frequently refer to ? BAPTIST. It is a complete commentary on the New Testament written by emi nent Baptist scholars, the whole un der the general editorship of the dis. tinguished Prof. Alvah Hovey, D. D., of Newton Theological Seminary. Os course all the work is not of equal merit or value, but every part shows careful and conscientious scholarship. The incomparable John A. Broadus is easily first among the writers, his “Matthew” of over 600 pages having become a standard on both sides of the Atlantic. Dr. W- N. Clarke’s Mark, Dr. Hovey’s John, Dr. Hackett’s Acts, are all first class expositions. 'The same may be said of Dr. E. C. Dargan’s Colossians and Dr. E. T. Winkler’s James. Indeed the whole is good. The Commenta tary is published by the American Baptist Publication Society, in seven large volumes at sl6. We regard it as decidedly the best complete com mentary on the New Testament pub lished. It would make an excellent Christmas gift for your pastor—for any pastor. We venture to suggest that some good brother or sister in every church go to work at once and secure enough to furnish the Ameri can Commentary to its pastor. What a boon it would prove to many. We presume for such a purpose the en tire work could be had for about sls post-paid. WHAT IS CULTURE. BY REV. RUDOLPH GROSSNAM. What is culture? Probaly no word is so fluent on our lips and yet so frequently misunderstood and mis applied. Whereas there exists a unanimity of opinion that to be wor thy of the respect of society, culture is unessential re quirement,no two in dividuals will upon first thought agree in their conception as to what culture signifies. Question any three men of your acquaintance and you will receive three distinct replies- The first regards culture as syn onymous with intellectual and artis tic pursuits. To bo cultured, he will say, is to have sounded the depths of knowledge, to bo able to express some criticism on the latest book, to speak learnedly on litera ture and science ami pass for a con noisour of modern and antique art. It is this conception of culture that has given birth to all that affectation and shanr that is bane of our modern society. The second whom you question as to what is culture, will reply, culture is refinement of manners, To be cultursd, he will say, is to observe all the rules of formality and etique te that society has laid down to be scrupulously careful of your external appearance and outward demeanor, to bo graceful in your movements and gracious in your behavior. While a third will formulate quite differently his conception of culture. To bo deemed cultured,this one will say, is to display taste in the ap pointments of your homes, harmony and beauty in your surroundings, an earnest regard for die ever tluctua— ing demand of fashion, gorgeousness of equipment and a lavish display of hospitality. Under the stimulus of this view, many, alas! too many, regard a loathsome shoddyism as the sine qua non of culture. Not in the profundity of knowl edge alone, though you bo familiar with the devious paths of literature, and science,not in the external grace of behavior, though you have mas tered every petty rule of formality not in the luxuriance of a palace,lies culture. These are aids to, but not the essence of culture. All these may be yours and yet they may en title their possessor in no regard to the honored appellation of a cultur ed man or woman. Culture is a flower that blooms in the soil of the heart and not in the brain- Culture is not dependent on circum stances and surroundings.lt triumphs over the gloomiest conditions. It is within reach of the poorest and weakest, no less than of the mighty and prosperous. In the lowliest hovel where grinding poverty in vites despair and gnawing hunger consumes all energy, may often be seen the noblest evidences of true culture. He that chooses the right with in vincible resolution, ho that resists the sorest temptation from without, from within, he that is calmest in storms aed morst fearless under me nance and danger, he whose reliance on virtue, on truth,on God, is most unfaltering, he is the truly cultured man. There where affections and sym pathy shed their sunshine, where chastity nnd honor are the guiding stars, whore the love of truth and fidelity to duty are nurtured, where confidence in God’s helpfulness,where THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY. DECEMBER 8. 1892. are the celestial bonds of union,there is true culture. Growth is the law of human life. The plant grows unsconsciously, driven upward by a force it knows I not of. Man alone is gifted with . the power of selfimprovement. He I alone can by effort and will, refine I and ennoble his nature, unfold his faculties, strengthen his character. Animals can be trained by man, but they are powerless to train themsel ves. The savage under the impulse of circumstances,reaches a certain stage of development and then his growth ' is checked. The civilized man has be fore him an unlimitted scope for de velopment. High asthe loftiest mountain, deep as the sea, broad as the heaven, is the domain for his progress. Gifted with powers and faculties, St is the eternal law written in his very nature, that man must use and strengthen these faculties and pow ers or they die of neglect. Use and improve your muscles, your percep tions, your understanding or they will gradually fail. Use your con science or it is weakened. Use and improve the powers of the soul, that yearn for infinite truth, goodness and love, and they lift you toward them. Let them sleep, and all as pirations for the lofty are suffocated by neglet. So intimately is growth interwoven with every fibre of our being, that without progress in some form,life itself becomes a burden and a curse. Like a man crossing a turbulent stream over a narrow log, we must go onward or die. The deadly poi son of life’s weariness smites all who strive for no goal, who go not on ward, upward. This effort to be ever advancing, this yearning to be come ever more and more, this is culture. To grow ever higher, wider deep er, as the years pass by, to overcome difficulties and acquire more and more power, to feel all one’s facul ties unfolding and truth shining in the heart, this stamps the worth of life, constitutes the essence ot cult ure. But circumstances* you say, cir cumstances, grave and forbidding, prevent self-culture. We are the slaves to our toil. The bitter strife for the necessities of life robs us of the opprtunity and the leisure fo r the cultivation of our faculties.' Thus will the craven coward ar gue! Look,you of little courage, at the great toilers of the world. Was ever any noble action done, with no difficulties to overcome, with no ’ob stacles to conquer? Survey the ranks of earth’s illustrious heroes, and were they not all pillowed on hard ship, taught by poverty, crowned oven amid direst distress. A determ ined will tramples over every oppo sition. A resolute purpose levels all hindrances, though they be piled mountain high athwart our pathway. Milton steeped in want and smit ten with blindness, wrote his “Para dise Lost.” Mendelesson and Spin oza felt the scorching flame of pov erty and yet did they become lumi nous centres of thought. What fa vorable circumstances helped the peasant girl of Arc and made her victorious, where kings and generals had failed? Luther as a child sang in the streets for bread; as a man, he awoke enslaved humanity to new life. But you exclaim’ “We have not all the capacities of a Milton or Spinoza. We cannot all be heroes and geniuses.” True, were an army composed of naught but generals, no victory conld ever be achieved. There must be soldiers in the ranks of humanity, as well as leaders. But each one of us,according to the pow ers at our command, can make of ourselves what God intended we should be. Each of our souls, by obedience to the gifts we have, can unfold into something that shall bo as beautiful and as useful to this world, as were the souls of saints and heroes. God has assigned to each of us a sta tion in this life. We each have a work to fulfill in this world'—a task we alone can do and no one for us. As within the tiny seed nestle the latent powers of the tree, so within our bosoms slumbers the germ that may be unfolded into ideal beauty. Culture signifies to bring to light all that is unborn in man. As no two individuals, like no two plants, are exactly alike, it is the practical part of wisdom for each of us to learn what capabilities wo possess, and then so to mould circumstances and daily dutieb that they shall help, un fold those faculties with which we are endowed’ In this, the highest of all educa tion, nothing is too insignificien that it may not become the source of instruction. Heaven und earth, day and night, work and rest, success and failure, sickness and bereave ment, all that constitues human life stands at our side as heavenly teach ers. Even the shocks and strains of adversity, the ever-darking shadows of the grim valley of despair and death through which we all at some time must painfully grope, these are often the highest and best instructors of true culture. The strongest trees are those that have felt most keenly the lash of the storm. The blows of misfortune’s hammer fashion the no blest virtues. In disaster and desti tution lies often the truest discipline of manhood. The iron is not of much value, unless it be beaten on the anvil. Life only then becomes true, when it is purged in the fires of affliction. We often hear men lament that their occupations of necessity so en gross their attention that they lacks both the energy aud the leisure for study, for the enriching of the mind with those treasures of thought wjth which each good teems. Books it is true as divine messengers of culture—books are treasure houses of truth. But yet book knowledge is not culture. Many a learned man has been branded with the Cain mark of disgrace and infamy, and been entombed in a criminal cell. While many an unlettered man ignor rant so far as books are concerned! has been crowned with a halo of good ness and purity, of that high nobility of soul that is the eternal patent of true culture. There are means for education in the lowest occupation. To draw manhood from every toil, irradiate every duty with holy aspi rations, to make every task however humble subserve a lofty purpose, this is the highest means of culture is an education far more efficient than that which bookscan offer. Bewail not forever your weakness es and limitations. Rejoice rather in your infinite ca pabilities. Fold not your hands in listless indolence. Around you are ten thousand opportunities for growth, for development. Use them! Chain them to your chariot that each day’s setting sun may leave you richer and nobler in the growth of your soul’s ambitions. And have you wealth! What nu merous doors for culture, fly then open at your command. Wealth is a leaden weight that drags us down if it is sought but for pomp and dis play. Wealth is a golden wing that lifts us up, if it is sought for the good it can accomplish, for the blessings it can shower upon its pos sessor and upon humanity. The North American Indians have a legend that primeval men lived in a subterranean cave. They beheld long fibres hanging down to them from above. .Seizing these trailing roots, they crept up and up and so at length lifted themselves to the surface. Each day is such a thread let from the regions of infihito light and truth. Each hour teems with golden opportunities for growth. Utilizing them wo may lift ourselves higher and higher, unfold heart and soul ever more and more, mount ever up ward to the light. This is true life. This is man’s real mission. This is culture.—American Hebrew. An advertisement in an English paper of a Church of England living, describes the picturesque scenery, the spacious vicarage, the salmon pool and the almost total absence of Dissenters, and states as the last and chief recommendation the fact that there are very few inhabitants in the parish. Most ministers would not regard this as a recommendation.— St. Louis Christian Advocate. The oldest church in the United States is the church of San Miguel, erected at Santa Fo, N. M., seventy seven years before the lauding of the pilgrims on Plymouth Rock, twenty years before the founding of St. Augustine, Fla., and fifty-three years after the landing of Colum bus.—Ex. The Presbyterian Church of this country has four institutions for tho education of colored girls, “Scotia Seminary, at Concord, N. C.; Mary Allen Seminary, at Crockett, Texas > Ingleside Seminary, at Burkeville Va., opened this fall; and Mary Holmes Seminary, in Jackson, Miss.”—The Presbyterian. J. D. Watkins,Blakely, Ga., writes “Old sores covered my entire person and itched intensely night ami day. For severM months I could not work at all. I commenced tho use of the Botanic Blood Bahn and be gan to grow better tho first week, and am now sound and well free from sores and itching and at work gai n. A REVIEW. Lesson for Sunday December 18th. The lessons|for this quarter have covered only seven chapters, Acts 9-15. But in these few chapters there is a greater fulness of meaning than in a whole library of uninspired writings. .Some of the events may seem commonplace, but in them are involved principles and results that only eternity shall fully reveal. The time embraced by these lessons is about fourteen years, from A. D. 37 to 50. While in less than a dozen pages is narrated the events of scarcely more than a dozen years, it is not an easy matter to get a comprehensive view or to a make a thorough review of the whole. Only by diligent effort shall we so fasten these lessons in our mind as to make them of per manent help and instruction. .Some plan for grouping what we have learned in systematic order is of great importance. If a map is at hand, and every school should have one, an effective grouping may be made about THE PLACES mentioned in our lessons. Get before your mind the situation at Jerusalem just before pentecost when the whole number of disciples is about one hundred and twenty, and they are gathered in one room. While these are met and before Pentecost is yet come, imagine yourself falling into a Rip Van Winkle sleep of twenty years. Then you will wake up about the time the council is assembled at Jerusalem, of which we studied last Sunday. Strange will sound the dis cussions you will hear in that meet ing. But little will be said about Jerusalem and Judea, which you will bear frequent and repeated mention tion of Antioch in Syria, Antioch in Pisidia, Cesarea, Cilicia, Cypnis, Gy rene, Damascus, Derbe, Iconium Joppa, Lycaonia, Lydda, Lystra, Pamphylia, Paphos, Perga, Phonic, Pisidia, Selencia, Tarsus,etc. A more vivid conception of the progress made by the gospel can scarcely be given than by the proper relation and distances of these places shown carefully on a map. The attention given to each place will vary accord ing to the work done there, and ac cording to its previous relation to the Gospel. Perhaps keenest interest will at tach to such grouping of the lessons as may be made about the persons who have been actors in the drama. Nothing has for us the interest of living characters. They will be found of such number and character as to give rich variety to the pass ing scenes. Our difficulty here is to find such a wealth of thought and suggestion as there shall be no time to consider properly. Some of the faithful ones known before pass out of sight, and new acquaintances come to greet us. But the 'work will go on, whether in the hands of the older and more experienced ones, or falling upon shoulders all unused to the burdens. Old foes may lay down their armor, but while breath ing the first sigh of relief others are seen to buckle on shield and helmet- In all the ages workers are seen to die but God carries on the work. Enemies are vanquished, but Satan is prompt with his re-enforce ments. Some of the persons here are seen standing out in bold relief as leaders upon the one side or the other. Some come to bo partakers of benefits offered. The relation of others to the events narrated is only casual and indifferent No special attention need be called to such prominen t ones as Paul and Barnabas and Peter. The lessons of their lives stand forth in living characters, Much may be learned from the lives more obscure, and these lessons are in danger of being neglected As several plans of grouping are suggested it is not expected that more than one will be employed. To employ more than one would in volve cenfnsion and lack of time. Then whatever,point is taken for the centre all tho necessary thoughts may bo made to cluster about that. Another plan of grouping may be to consider THE EVENTS as more worthy of having tho high est honor. This plan has many ad vantages. Study tho events as to tho causes behind them, tho influen ces leading up to them, the general conditions, tho results growing out of them. This will involve real study or no good will come of it.

Another very interesting view to take of the lessons of this quarter is that which takes in THE DIFFICULTIES encountered in the work. Get them clearly before your mind, as to their character, force, meaning, number, and variety, and you will be thorough ly amazed. In those obstacles en countered by the early church, we believe is to be found the principles of every difficulty known to succeed ing generations. The foes of indi viduals and of churches now are of infinite variety as to their form, but as to their real character and inner spirit they are the same as gave con flict to Paul and Barnabas and the early Church. Wo should get a view of these les sons that is comprehensive, that is symmetrical, that shall make itself permanent. It needs to be such a view as will mould our thoughts and our spirits, tilling ns more with benovo lence and missionary zeal. Such shall be the power of this truth if the Holy Spirit apply it. May the Holy Spirit be given to us all. "THEWEAVER.” TOUCHING RECITAL OF AX ANOYMOVS POEM OVER THE COFFIN OF A FRIEND.
