2 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 Cor.

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. Brother Walker and wife aro do ing a good work at Kirksville, Mo.

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 ” T. 11. Stout. Midway, Ala. 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.
