Arnold, and the church here is growing rapidly in numbers and in influence, sound preaching and effective work is making this still more a Baptist town. The moral tone of the neigborhood is high, and a fine school conducted by Prof. R V. Forrester is doing much to elevate the educational. Bro. Arnold has also been serving County' Lino Church in Stewart, and Antioch in Webster. Eld. W. W. Mabry and Eld. A. B. Hawkes also live at Richland. Bro- Mabry serves tliQ Weston and the Brooksville churches, and one at Schley and another in Alabama. Bro.

The Summerhill Association with thirteen churches and less than a thousand members reported more baptisms than its neighbor the Friend ship, with thirty-eight clmrshes and nearly twenty-six hundred members.

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. S. A. Burney, Madison, Ga., Dec, Bth, 1892 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.

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 ami paid for by Jan., 1 next. It will accommodate 106 boarders, and 250 students.
