ASKED AND ANSWEBED.
BY 0. E. W. DOBBS.
Dear Bro. Dobbs :—ln your ans
wer to a query in the last Index you
used this expression, “Perhaps the
majority of our educated men are
moderate Calvinists.” What are we
to understand by that? I have
thought that a man was either a Cal.
vinist or he was not. Please explain
what is meant by the term Calvinism,
and also “the live pillars or points of
Calvinism.” b.
We certainly appreciate the kind
words with which Bro. 8., speaks of
our work in this department of the
Index, and his criticisms of any po
sition maintained herein will be glad
ly received and candidly weighed.
Calvinism is a term used to designate
the doctrinal system of .John Calvin,
the great reformer of Geneva. This
system is set fourth in his famous
‘lnstitutes.” He was a very volumi
nous writer and his works have been
published in fiftylargo octavo volumes
by the Calvin Translation Society,
Edinburgh. Calvin more fully de.
veloped what was known as Augus
tiiiianisin. It should not be over
looked, however, that Augustine also
taught some of the leading doctrines
of Homan Cathlicism. Calvin, and
Luther before him, followed Augus
tine only in the doctrines on sin and
grace and predestination, differing
with him on justification, on the rule
of faith, on the church, and other im
portant points. The “five points of
Calvinism” is a theological phrase in
dicating the five characteristic tenets
of Calvinism as opposed to Armin
ianism. They were set forth and
defended by the synod of Dort [in
1618; —1619], in answer to the five
articles of the Anninians, formulated
in 1610, and presented to the States
General of Holland and West Fries
land by the party of Anninians. The
Calvinian five points were as follows:
1. Particular predestination of the
elect to salvation. God chose out of
mankind, from eternity, those whom
ho designed to save through Christ.
2. Particular redemption, or limi
ted atonement. Christ died for the
elect only.
3. Natural inability. By reason of
his native depravity, the will of man
is absolutely impotent to will what
is good, or turn to God.
4. Irresistible grace. The Holy
Spirit “effect ullly c'nfls” only the 1
elect, nnd regenerates them. This
grace is irresistible in the sense that
the Holy Spirit always regenerates
those effectually called.
5. Perseverance of the saints. All
the elect, redeemed, called and re
generated by the Spirit, are kept by
the pbwer of God unto salvation.
The Aitfninian five points affirmed
that predestination was the determi
nation and purpose of God to “save
in Christ, for Christ’s sake, and
through Christ, those who, through
tho.grace of the Holy Ghost, shall
believe on this, his Son Jesus Christ,
and shall persevere unto the end.
The second article declared that
Christ died for all men, for every
man, so that he has obtained for them
all, by his death [on the cross, re
demption and forgivness of sins:” yet
only the believer actually en joys this
forgivness. The third point differed
in no practical respect from that of
the Calvinists. Tho fourth point,
while denying the irresistibility of
the Spirit’s grace, declared that “this
grace is the beginning, tho contin
uance, and the accomplishment of all
good, even to this extent, that tho
regenerate man himself, without pre
veniont or assisting awakening, fol
lowing and co-oporativo grace, can
neither think, will, nor do good, nor
withstand any temptations to evil.”
As to the possibility, or capability,
of tho npostacly of tho regenerate,
tho Arminian fifth point was non
committal. It said that “that must
be more particularly determined out
of tho Holy Scriptures before wo our
selves can teach it with tho full per
suasion of our minds.”
From the foregoing comparison of
the two systems, as at first authorita
tively set forth, it will be soon that
neither is held in its entirety by the
“Calvinists” and “Anninians” of tho
present day. Nearly all the latter
bblievo in apostacy, while tho mass
of the so-called Calvinists do not now
hold to ‘’limited atonement,” which
Calvin strenuously defended. Honco
the term we use—“moderate Calvin
sin.”
1. Should the Church retain in its
membership a brother who has voted
for the sale of whiskey and for the
support of bar rooms ?
2. Is a brotheb responsible to any
txtent for the drunkenness and other
srimes that arises from drunkenness
to the place where he has voted for
die sale of whiskey ?
8. Is it right at all times for a
brother to carry into effect his legal
rights ?
4. Is there any scriptural grounds
to justify a brother in committing a
wrong act that good may grow out
of it?
5. What is meant by the words
“Blessed is the man that walketh not
in the counsel of the ungodly ?”
J. B. G.
1. We do not see how a Christian
man can vote for bar-rooms. The
saloon is so contrary to every inter
est of Christ’s cause, so antagonistic
of all good, that to vote for it. is to
ally one’s self with tho enemies of
Christianity and morality. Yet we
have known some he,ally good mtn
who have voted for “license,” on the
plea that it was a “restrictive,” rather
than a “permissive,” measure. Such
men have doubted the practicability
of prohibition, especially in large
cities. We think the plea is falla
cious. Tho average church member,
however, who votes the whiskey side
in a local option election, in our
opinion, is unworthy of membership.
2. We thiyk so, and believe God
so holds him.
3. The question is too indefinite-
There are circumstances where it
would be better for a Christian to
suffer wrong rather than to go to
law.
4. No. Rom. 3 :8.
5. To walk in the counsel of the
ungodly is to live the life of the
wicked. Psi. 1:1. seems to describe
the down grade in sin. Walketh—
standeth—sitteth. Ono who begins
to follow the counsel of the ungodly,
to company with the wicked, soon
finds himself permanently among tho
enemies of God.
On yesterday a Freewill Baptist
offered to join our little Missionary
Baptist Church at Ailey. I told him
ho would have to go under the wa
ter again. Ho said he .was satisfied
with his Baptism. Did I do right ?
C. M. C.
We think not. There can bo no
good reason for requiring the brother
to bo rebaptized. The “Freewill
Baptists” aro as much in tho “Bap
tist succession” as we are. There is
probably not a Baptist church in the
whole North that woidd not welcome
this brother on his baptism, and there
aro hundreds of churches in the
south that would do likewise,. What
ever may bo true of Pedobaptist anil
Camphellite immersions, we see no
valid reason for rejecting those of
our Freewill brethren.
TO GEORGIA BAPTISTS.
I have traversed the State from
end to end and from side to side at
tending thirty Associations and
various other mootings of the Bap
tist hosts and have much to encour
age and much to discourage. Tho
spirit of education and missions is
growing very encouragingly in many
portions of the state. High Schools
aro being planted in many Associa
tions. Higher education, is taking
deeper hold upon tho masses, com
mon schools are being improved in
various particulars. These aro very
favorable omens.
Our churches are, in many places
organizing for systematic work for
tlie Master. Tho number of contri
butors is being gradually increased,
more frequent contributions are com
ing up from many of our churches,
many pastors seem to bo getting up
on a higher plan of ministerial con
secration, many of our members arc
getting a truer conception of Chris
tian living and cherishing a higher
conception of Christian obligations.
All these things aro encouraging
and promise gratifying results in tho
near future. Let us thank God and
take courage. A general move all
along the lino is what wo now need.
Every church, every individual, and
every pastor, each in their places,
working for God and with God in
unwavering faith in his promise wil
bring surprising results. Amid all
tho depressing surroundings of tho
recent past, wo have held our own.
May wo not, in view of the promising
out-look, expect perceptible improve
ment in the near future.
I must ask that a special thought
be given to tho needs of our State
Board. Ono and a half months sal
aries aro now due our state mission
aries and nothing in tho treasury. O
how I would love to make thoir hearts
glad by sending them thoir full pay
as a Christmas joy, but alas I I am
afraid they will have to suffer and
wait. Just a slight effort on tho
part of the many will relieve tho
present pressure, and give your hum
ble Secretary such a merry Christ
mas. May the spirit of love move
all hearts. J. G. Gibson

SOCIAL CENTENNIAL MEETINGS
AND MISSIONARY BOXES.
We have had two of these “Cen
tennial Socials,” one held at tho pas
tor’s home and one at tho home of
one of the brethren. They were ar
ranged by the lad ii s of the church
and consisted in Scripture reading,
prayer, songs solos, quartettes, gen
eral singing, a short address or talk,
an original paper, select readings
and a recitation. Opening mite
boxes, collecting chapel cards and
and taking voluntary offerings. Then
refreshments were served.
They were exceedingly
highly entertaining and decidedly
helpful. Try it and see how mu'ch
latent talent there is in our churches
and how much good there is in social
mixing of the membership.
We were put in correspondence
with one of our needy missionaries
of the Home Board recently and
soon had the ages, sizes and destitu
tion of a family of ten dependent
upon the Lord’s people. “We’ll send
them a box of clothing etc,” we said:
and some from their abundance and
others from the “liberality of their
poverty,” but all cheerfully and
promptly gave. Little children gave
up their toys, a noblo woman brought
a splendid new dress and said : “I’ll
wear my old ones this winter,” mon
ey was sent also to cut and make
the dress, an excellent suit of new
clothes for tho 'missionary was
among the many useful contribu
tions; the men gave this. A great
deal of now cloth was brought and
a number of sewing machines bor
rowed and tho pastor’s home buzzed
like a factory for about two days,
and the work was enjoyed. A mo
dest estimate of tho value of tho box
was a hundred and fifty dollars. It
was worth much more than that to
us, besides a few linos from the sick
wife, who received the box while
her husband was off for several days
at his work, made us all happier than
Cleveland’s election.
Nov. 27th was the end of my first
year as pastor in Missouri. Aly re
port showed an increase of 34 in
membership. $3,500 raised, pastor’s
salary and current expenses all paid
up, tho church all ih peace and uni
ted and tho congregations aro larger
than usual. Tho church built us an
excellent home during the year and
arc constantly showing their appre
ciation in wofds and cleeds. I hope )
my friends in Georgia will pray that
I may bo more helpful to this dear
people.

SOME IMPRESSIONS OF THE
ALABAMA STATE CONVEN
TION.
It was my happy privilege to at
tend the late meeting of the above
body at the beautiful city of Annis
ton.
For fourteen consecutive years I
have been a regular attendant and I
do not think I over witnessed a more
interesting session than the last.
About two hundred delegates
were present and all parts of tho
state were represented.
' I was impressed first with the
working spirit manifested by tho
body. We met early and worked
late; almost every afternoon the
gas had to be lighted before the bo
dy adjourned; and the evening ses
sions were continued till far in the
night and yet no restlessness or im
patience was manifested. The breth
ren had come to attend to the Lord’s
business and they were willing to
stay in the church to do it.
Another .thing that impressed me
was tho orderly manner in which
tho business was carried through.
Our convention works by a pro
gramme made out by a committee
appointed at tho preceding session.
The subjects arc arranged, and the
leading speakers are appointed suffi
ciently long before the meeting, to
give ample time for preparation. So
everything comes up systematically
ami the appointment of tho brethren
who are to lead in tho discussions
secures better and more interesting
addresses.
What impressed me most was the
harmony and love .apparent in every
•body. Before the meeting, some un
pleasant things had developed.
Friction between the Colportago
Board, Tho Alabama Baptist an 4
tho State Mission Board had been
recognized throughout the *Statc.
Tho interests committed to these
several instrumentiflitios wore be
coming antagonistic. Uneasiness
was felt as to what would be the re
sult. It was feared, that many
brethren would come to the con ven
vention loaded with bitter feelings,
which they would pour out to the
utter disgust of mokt of the dele
gates and to the lasting injury of the
c^usc —we should have a war of
“grievous words.”
But there was so much Christian
Spirit pervading the body, that all
things were satisfactorily arranged,
Brethren were willing to yield then
own opinions and feelings to others
and to sink self out of sight.
Truly we may say:
“Behold, how good and how plea
sant it is for brethren to dwell to
gether in unity 1 ”

THE BIRTH OF CHRIST.
y*
Lesson for Dec, 25th, 1892.
Scripture Lesson: Luke 2:8-20.
Motto Text :—“Behold I bring
you good tidings of great joy.” V.
10. •
INTRODUCTION.
The simple facts in connection
with the birth and childhood of Je
sus need to be well memorized. Alary
the mother of Jesus and Joseph his
reputed human father lived at Naza
reth, but the child was born in Beth
lehem. The occasion of the visit of
tho parents to this place was a call
from the Roman emperon, Augustus,
for a census or registration prepara
tory to the collection of taxes. The
place of his birth had been prophe
sied (Alicah 5:2), ami that prophecy
is in a wonderful way fulfilled.
The importance of this event re
ceives special emphasis from- the
fact that it marks the point from
which time is reckoned. It is in -
deed the central point of all history.
All prior and all succeeding events
look to the manger in Bethlehem. It
is worthy of note, however, that an
error exists in our system of chronol
correction of which would
place the birth of Christ some four
years earlier than is indicated. Not
for several hundred ypars after Christ
Was our system definitely formulated
or generally adopted, so an error in
tho first calculation soon became
moulded (to rectification.
EXPOSITION.
Perhaps the tirstAhdught pertinent
to this lesson is to enquire what is
the meaning of Christmas? You may
search the scriptures to find out but
they will throw little light upon it.
The Bilbe really gives no authority
for Christmas. It is regarded as a
celebration of the birth-day of Christ.
But the exact day of tho Savior’s
birth is not known. The 25th of De
cember is very certainly not the day.
Even if our Chrsitmas day were clear
ly established as the birthday of Je
sus, there can be found no authority
in the scriptures for its being made a
day of special religious observances.
Christ very clearly taught that his re
ligion was not to be one of days or
seasons. There is some reason for
thinking that the real day has been
providentially concealed, that the
tendency to esteem one day above
another might to some extent be
thwarted. So let this much be borne
in mind. Christmas is not the birth,
day of tho Saviour, and if it were, it
would not be for that-reason entit
led to any special religious obser
vance.
While accepting these views as to
the religious character of the season,
we may find a meaning and use for it
that arc worthy tho highest appreci
ation. Instead of a religious day in
a specific sense, let it be made a home
festival. Let there be a brief season
of rest as the labors of this year are
finished. Lot there be clustered
about tho home whatever of innocent
mirth or joy may bo had. Let the
loved ones all come together under
such conditions as will purify and in
tensify and elevate every domestic
tie and affection. If home thus be
made more dear and more sacred,
surely God will bo glorified.
THE BIRTH OF CHRIST
Is an event of wondrous significance.
Well might tho angels rejoice and all
the earth resound with joy. There
is ono danger just here. We may
magnify this event in its importance
and meaning in away to obscuro
other valued truths. Christ’s death
and resurcction aro of tho highest
value. Paul gloried only in the cross
determined to preach nothing but
Christ and Him crucified, Ho de
clares that without Christ’s resurrec
tion our preaching is vain. Shall we
go beyond Paul and make the birth
of tho Messiah the all-important
event? Sumo threaten to do so.
TO THE SHEPHERDS
as they kept watch over their flocks
by night did the angels come, not
to the kings and rulers. While faith
fully serving in lowly sphere did
they receive manifestation of heaven
ly glory. The post of duty is ever
a vantage ground. When we con
sent to do with our might what our
hands find to do, then, and only then,
shall we know what riches of bless
ing are in store for us.
The readiness of the shepherds to
receive the blessing is shown by the
promptness with which they obeyed
the command of the angels and went
to seek for the truth of what had
been told them. The finding of the
child according to the angels con
vince them of the meaning of his ad
vent. Convinced themselves, they
go to tell others. A conviction
without energy to express it self is a
poor sort of thing.
THE MANGER AND SWADDLING
CLOTHES
savor more of wretchedness than of
glory. But judge not by appear
ances, neither judge according to
partial evidence. There was no
room for him in the inn. Soon the
time of ministry and suffering will
have passed, and a voice that will
be obeyed will say, “Lift up your
heads, O ye gates; even lift them up,
ye everlasting doors; and the king of
glory shall come in.”
WHAT JOY AND PRAISE
in the songs of those angels. Every
note is one of gladness. Has the
message that sounded out that night
over Judaean hills changed its char
acter pr lost its power ? The reli
gion of Jesus Christ is pre-eminently
a religion of joy. Away with long,
sour faces. But don’t bound so far
the other way as to make your re
ligion a joke and a farce.. Gloom
and melancholy and murmuring
should be regarded as greatly out of
place, yea, as positively sinful, in the
life of one who feels his sins forgiv
en, and claims a hope of eternal life
and heavenly joys. But far more
inconsistent is the spirit of irreverent
levity on the part of one who is com
missioned an ambassador for Christ,
and stands daily in the way of men
fast sinking into perdition.
How shall we treat the words tell
ing of a
SAVIOR’S BIRTH AND LOVE.
They who heard them from the
shepherds wondered. Many pon
dered them in her heart. These
mark a good beginning. Surely ‘tis
a message at which we’ can wonder,
over which we should ponder. But
more than this we need to do. The
shepherds heard, obeyed in haste,
found the promised one, told it to
others, praised and glorified God.
Here lies our example.
