here is growing rapidly in numbers
and in influence, sound preaching

THE NORTH GEORGIA CONFER
ENCE,
This body has just closed its re
cent delightful session in our beau
tiful little city, and its memories will
abide with us—flagrant as the per
fume of flo’wers. We were glad of
their coming, delighted with their
staying, and saddened when they
went away—four hundred strong.
Our people opened to them their
gates, their homes and their hearts;
received them in a Christian spirit
and entertained them in a royal,
princely manner—in Madison’s own
■way. What a blessing to any com
munity is an assemblage of godly
men—men whose mission it is to do
good and lift the world up to God.
God blessed the house of Obedcdom,
because he took care of the ark of
God, and for their kind care’ of the
Conference, may his benedictions
rest upon the people of Madison. I
have thought that some impressions
of the Conference from a Baptist,
might be interesting to the readers of
The Index.
Bishop Fitzgerald presided over
the Conference—a man of beautiful
humility, loving heart, and Christly
spirit, winning the love of all who
met him. The good Bishop, like an
indulgent father, does not rule his
children well, and it is simple truth
to say, that the order observed in
the late conference, was not com
parable to that of our Baptist State
Convention. Clapping of hands and
stamping of feet were of frequent oc
currence. The preaching was ear
nest, spiritual and good. We had
one sermon that was metaphysical
and philosophical and somewhat
speculative. I could not but notice
an occasional out-cropping of good
Baptist doctrine, in some of the ser
mons I heard, and it seemed, at such
times, the aniens were more than us
ually fervent apd hearty. For in
stance, one minister, in illustrating
the safety and security of God’? chil
dren said, that a father in crossing
over a bridge with his little boy
would never relax his hold, but
would so grasp him, a? that, if need
be, the arm would bo pulled out
of socket. So God keeps his chil
dren.
A deep, fervent spirit, pervaded
all the services. •
When the time for meeting arriv
ed, the brethren came in promptly,
and filled the pews, which, by pla
cards, were assigned the districts.
The brethren did not have to be
sung into the house, but were
in the house singing. And
such singing, Methodist singing, it
seemed to me nearly every man was
singing, a great, mighty volume of
song, fervent, spiritual, and uplift
ing. Query. Why don’t our Bap
tist brethren sing like these Metho
dists ? Did ever a people, for their
doctrines, and their hopes, and their
enlargement, have greater reason to
sing and make melody in their hearts
unto the Lord? Room for improve
ment, just here, dear brethren. Bis
hop Fitzgerald preached a powerful,
spiritual sermon, on Sabbath morn
ing, moving and melting and delight
ing all hearts, on the text, “the prom
ise of the Father.” The old time
Methodist shout was heard.
In speaking of the denominations,
as illustrating the various fruits of
tho Spirit, he compared the Metho
dists to a sweet, juicy peach, and
the Baptists to a genuine, Georgia
watermelon.
Two returned Missionaries to
China were present and delivered
addresses on China, that were high
ly interesting and instructive. Rev.
Young J. Allen, and Rev. Mr. An
derson. A missionary meeting was
held in the Baptist church and turn
ing to the Baptist pastor, the Bishop
said it was just the thing to do, to
hold a missionary meeting, in a Bap
tist church. Tho Baptist pastor
thought the moment opportune to
get in a little fragment of Baptist
history, and replied, “Yes especially
as the Baptists started it.” Several
hundred dollars were raised. Other
collections, for other purposes, were
quite numerous.
The truth is, outside their ponder
ous machinery their conferences
very much resemble our Conventions,
and the piety and intelligence and
devotion of tho one, is about equal
to that of tho other. In one thing
we are widely apart, their sessions
are a week long and tho members
arc required to remain and do re
main, whereas it is difficult to hold
us together three days. I was glad
to learn one thing, the Bishop has
not the power I had supposed.
Olt is shared by the Presiding El
ders, and these twelve mon with tho
Bishop, constitute tho appointing
power, from whose decision there is
absolutely no appeal. A largo class
of young preachers joined the Con
ference and the Bishop’s charge to
them was very impressive and sol
emn.
Their superannuates and widows
receive their gratuities, yearly at the
Conference. I very much prefer,
tho Baptist way of monthly remit
tances. for those whose needs are ur
gent and whose sands of life are near
ly gone.
Baptists think, sometimes, they
have many calls for money, but not
so many as tho Methodists. Assess
ments and assessments, for this and
that and tho other; for Conference
missions, for Foreign missions, for
Church extension, for Superannuates
for Widows and Orphans, for Bish
ops and Elders, for Emory College,
and I know not what else.
These assessments are not laid, al
ways, with unanimity. A hard fight
was made against assessments for
Emory College, but other friends of
the College carried the point, a large
minority being against it. These as
sessments are-not always paid up in
full; from what I could learn not
more than 75 per cent is paid.
Every preacher is an agent for the
Wesleyan Advocate, which has
about 10,000 subscribers in the
North and South Georgia Confer
ences.
Sabbath afternoon at 3 o’clock,
Rev. Sam Jones preached in the
Baptist church to men only. Such
a scene in that house, was never be
fore witnessed. The large audience
room and gallery were packed and
jammed, with about seven hundred
men while the redoubtable Samuel,
held them well in hand, using the
text: “One sinner destroyeth much
good.” Do you ask me -what of the
sermon? Well, variously, it was
Sam Jones who preached, and that
tells all.
Part was good and very good, and
part was bad and .very bad. You
have heard of a Bow, that gave a
bucket of good milk and then kicked
it nearly all ovdr, well, that des
cribes Sam Jones preaching to
me.
.Or rhn-ging figure, he will lot
the fly get into the precious oint
ment, and that is very bad. The
reverend gentleman should be rever
end but he is not. He should not
play the buffoon in the pulpit, no
murder, purposely, the English lan
guage, but he does. I am sure of
one thing, if the Christian world has
reason to thank God for one such
preacher as Sam Jones, it has reason
to thank him also, for only one such
preacher.
Summing the matter up, weighing
the good and the bad, my verdict is,
that his sermon in Madison will do
good.
The Conference meets in Gaines
ville next year, whither Methodist
laymen should peregrinate and hold
a jubilee meeting, for it was at
Gainesville in 1869, if I mistake not,
that laymen were allowed the larger
liberty, for the first time, of becom
ing members of Conference.
The last hour’s session was an in
spiring scene. The list of appoint
ments had not been read, and soon
tho trains would come! What a fe
ver of excitement, what a flutter of
hearts was there! My place? Ob!
where is it? A moment full of hope,
full of fear, full of events, for Geor
gia Methodism. But look, the ven
erable Bishop rises, and in a silence
and suspense, solemn and painful,
ho begins to read out the appoint
ments. Every eye was on him, and
every ear was attont. Some faces
wore lit with rejoicings, some cloud
ed by disappointment. Applausoi
now and then, was heard at this
appointment and that. At length,
when the list was nearly complete'!,
and before the benediction was
pronouncod, hurried for time,
these happy hearted Methodist
preachers went down the aisle
of tho Church to the depot,
and to their fields of labor, singing
as they went “praise God from whom
all blessings flow etc.” It Was a
scene to be remembered. Some, to
hard places, to receive, but a more
pittance. As I looked on them, go
ing to their work, I thought some
would join tho great General Assem
bly, ’ ere they came together again,
I thought too of God’s sweet prom
ise—“he that goeth forth and weep
etli, bearing preoioup seed, shall
doubtless come again with rejoicing,
bringing his sheaves with him.”
So much for Methodists—a work
ing wonderful people aggressive,
progressive, tireless—a people whose
zeal and devotion, we should seek to
emulate.
Give me, however, tho simple self
government of' the Baptists, with
Christ Jesus as our only head and
Lawgiver. New Testmaent churches
in the days of tho Apostles, were tho
solo representatives of Christ’s au
thority on earth—the sole deposito
ries of ecclesiastical authority and
power.
Give mo their blessed, precious
doctrines—their beautiful, symbolic
ordinances.
Give me, in their ranks some hum
ble place, where my poor work for
Jesus may be done on earth. And
when our labors on earth are done,
the blessed Master will bring togeth
er all who are his, in that better land
where wo shall all be one in Christ
Jesus forever.

Deafness Cannot bo Cured
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of tho ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
nes, and that is by constitutional re
medies. Deafness is caused by an in -
flamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closeed,Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and
this tube is restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will bo destroyed for
everjnine cases out of ten are caused
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caused
by catarrh) that cannot be cured by

THE PLAIN TRUTH
Is good enough for Hood’s Sarsapa
rilla-tbere is no need of embellish
ment or sensationalism. Simply;
what Hood’s Sarsaparilla docs, that
tells the story of its merit. If you
haveSnever realized its benefits a sin

good medicine.
Tho highest praise has been won
by Hood’s Fills for their easy, yet

Dr. W. S. Pickard, for some time
past, pastor of the First Baptist
church at Birmingham,Ala., has been
called to the Broadway church:

is no doubt but that he will accept
the call.
The Cause of Illieiiiiintisiii.
An acid which exists in sour milk
and cider, called lactic acid,is believ
ed by physicians to be the cause of
rheumatism. Accumulating in the
blood,it attacks the fibrous tissues in
the joints,and causes agonizing pains
What is needed is'a remedy to neutra
lize the acid,and to so invigorate the
kidneys and liver that all waste will
be carried off. Hood’s Sarsaparilla
is heartily recommended by many
whom it has cured of rheumatism.
It possesses just the desired qualities
and so thoroughly purifies the blood
as to prevent occurrence of rheuma
tic attacks. We Suggest a trial of
Hood’s Sarsaparilla by all who suffer
from rheumatism.
At the late meeting of tho Gen
eral Missionary Committee of the
M. E. Church (North), Bishop New
man, in opposing any advance in
the appropriation for tho colored
work in the South, said: “I am satis
find that we are now wasting the
precious money of the church and
at the same time doing harm to the
church. By our system wo are
maintaining a ministry of paupers,
perhaps I am putting it too strongly.
1 will say wo arc maintaining a min
stry of pensioners.” Ho believed
that to occupy fields already hold by
Southern Methodists and Southern
Baptists was a useless expenditure
of mission money.
Thonew building of Sweetwater
Seminary, Tenn., will be finished

accommodate 106 boarders, and 250
students. The Baptist and Reflec

Baptist Female school from Nashville
to Bristol, and is doing a good work
for our denomination in that part of
tho state.”

Major M. C. Kiser, with his accustomed lib
erality to charitable objects, has given §IO,OOO
to the Georgia Baptist Orphans’ home.
The papers were signed up this morning by
Mr. A. L>. Adair, of the home, and Colonel W.
S. Thompson, Major Kiser’s attorney.
Major Kiser gives §5,000 in cash, to bo used
for the purchase of a site and the erection of

Georgia Baptists Orphan's Home.
five thousand dollars to go towards paying tho
expenses of the home, five hundred dollars a
year to be paid to It for the next ten years.
In making this magnificent gift, Major Kiser
has requested Mr. A. D. Artair. Captain T. U.
Neal, Judge George Ilillyer, Mr. It. A. Montietll
and Mr. John M. Green to act as trustees to see
that the money is properly Invested.
Major Kiser has been interested in the homo
for a number of years, and lias been making
liberal contributions to it for a long time. He
has watched the progress of the work and feel
ing satisfied that it was a worthy and much
needed in: titution, bo concluded to give it some
substantial assistance.
Three or four years ago Mrs. B. F. Abbott,
Mrs. M. E. Hatcher, Mrs. John 11. James, Mrs.
A. D. Adair, Mrs. A. J. Orme. Mrs. J. Stalnbaek
Wilsoc and others, all Baptists, seeing tho need
of an orphans’ home, began working to estab
lish one. * .
They secured a charter for “The Baptist Or
phans' Home Association,” and went to work at
ones by renting a small building at the corner
of Capitol avenue and Butler streets.
Here twelve little orphans were taken in and
provided with good comfortable homes. Chari
table people came to the assistance of the ladies,
and the homo prospered to such an extent that
a year and a half ago tho Connally tfUilding,
corner of Washington street ami Waverly
place, was rented, and more uhiliiron Were re
ceived.
Now there are within its walls thirty-five or
phan children, who are well led and comforta
bly clothed.
The first donation of great value was made to
tho home by Mr. Jonathan Norcross, in the
shape of twenty acres of land, near Van Wi
nkle's shops, toward the Exposition Cotton
mills.
It was at first intended that this land should
bo used tor building a home upon lint so many
manufactory. were established there that it
was decided to so.: it and devote the money to
ward building In some more desirable locality.
Two acres of this land lias been sold to the
Georgia, Carolina and Northern railroad.
it has been d< eded by the association to
Mr A. D. Adair, Judge George Hiilyer, ami
Kev. Virgil Norcross, as trustees to sell it lor
lie host price. Tho two sores that have been
old show that at a low calculation the property
