FOR 1893.
With this issue of the Index ends
tl« work for 1892. It is for our
readers to say whether we have been
faithful and true, and accomplished
any good. We are pleased to say,
that the increased expenditure for
new material, and for paid contribu
tions to our columns, and constant
effort to build up the paper has re
sulted in increasing our circulation
and improving the financial condi
tion of the paper. In view of such
results} we have outlined a more
vigorous policy and a still better
schedule for the coming year. We
have received valuable help the past
year from many good brethren, and
sisters. We sincerely hope that
many more will realize that they ad
vance the Lord’s cause by helping
to circulate the Index. In order to
place the paper upon the highest
literary plane, we have engaged con
tributions from the following able
writers, some of whom will appear
in each issue during the year:
Dr. J. L. Burrows, and Lansing Bur
rows, D. D.:W. L. Kilpatrick, D. D.;and

BAPTISM AND SALVATION.
Among the'people known as “Dis
ciples,” sometimes called “Camphel
lites,” after Alexander Campbell, the
recognized founder of the organized
movement, a cardinal article of faith
is “baptism for remission of sins.”
By this they mean that “baptism is,
equally with faith and repentance
and confes/ion, a condition of par
don.”
Some among them would state the
doctrine with stronger emphasis than
others, but all hold to it in some
form. We have hoard prominent
loaders present the subject in such a
manner as to unmistakably teach
that without baptism salvation was
impossible, while others equally
prominent have scarcely differed
from Baptist views.
For several years we have not
kept up with their current literature
and cannot speak with any degree of
certainty as to the prevail!ing trend
among them. But we notice a semi
official report of a recent sermon by
the Atlanta pastor of the Disciples,
in which ho discussed the great com-’
mission,” which was declared to be
“Christ's amnesty proclamation to a
world in sin and rebellion.” The
preacher said:
“Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
combine to tell us the terms of this
great commissian. John tells us, in
chapter xx, 31, that belief is neces
sary to the obtaining of life through
his name. Luke affirms the necessity
of the suffering and death of Christ
that repentance and remission of sins
might be preached in His name
among all nations—see chapter xxiv
45-47. Mark says, in chapter xvi,
16: ‘He that believeth and is bap
tized shall be saved,’ and Matthew
teaches, in chapter xxviii, 19: “Go
teach all nations, baptizing them into
the name of the Father, Son and
Holy Spirit.’ Combining these four
evangelists, wo see that the disciples
were to teach the gospel; men were
expected to hoar, believe, repent and
God promised the forgiveness or re
mission of their sins. As it was
then, so It is now. The plan is the
same, the conditions are the same,
and the blessing is the same.”
b rom the foregoing we must con
clude that the Atlanta pastor be
lieves the unbaptized believer is an
unsaved soul, since the blessing
somes only upon the fulfillment of
ill the conditions.
We will not quarrel with the
preacher about his unscriptural or
der—“believe, repent and be bap
tized”—inasmuch as we know he
uses the terms “believe” and “re
pent” in somewhat different senses
from those in which Baptists use
them. Still we cannot help remark
ing that in our opinion it is better to
keep to the order in which scripture
invariably presents them. See
Mark 1: 14, 15; Acts 20, 21; Heb.
6: 1. Nor will we insist upon the
fact that the disputed authenticity of
Mark 16: 15, should at least make
one informed on the question hesi
tate to quote that passage as a proof
text. Our purpose is to call atten
tion to some other Disciple deliver
ances on the main question. The
Apostolic Guide of Louisville, under
date of Dec. 2, editorially discourses
of “experienced facts”—the editor
ial being called forth by the follow
ing utterance of the English corres
pondent of the Christian Evange
list :
“The facts and phenomina of the
spiritual world, the testimony of our
religious consciousness to the exper
ience of God’s grace, are as diyine
as Acts 2 : 38 and Mark 16 : 16, and
I want our brethren to consider, if
it is possible for some of them to
look away from the letter of the
law long enough for them to see
anything else, that no abstract inter
pretation of these scriptures can
stand for one moment if it is in pal
pable contradiction to facts and ex
perience in the hearts and lives of
men.”
The editor says some very just
things about setting ones conscious
ness over against the testimony of
scripture and adds:
“We are in the realm of spiritual
law under the Christian economy
and adhere to that special phrase of
Christian law that relates to the as
surance of forgiveness. How docs
assurance of forgiveness, which pro
ceeds from God and in no way takes
place in the soul, come? Not by the
testimony of the law written upon
the heart from the foundation of the
world, but from the law which went
forth from Zion and from Jerusalem
after the resurrection of Jesus.”
This is further interpreted to
mean “by submission to burial in
baptism, preceded by faith in Christ
and repentance for sin.” Thus :
“It is the testimony of thousands
of honest people that they never
found, and never could find the as
surance that they were forgiven till
they, like Saul of Tarsus, arose and
calling upon the name of the Lord
were baptized, washing away their
sins.”
The conclusion reached by the
editor is that the only satisfactory
assurance of forgiveness is that fur
nished by his interpretation of the
scriptures relating to remission m
baptism—that is only the baptized
have the scriptural assurance of par
don.
* « «
But the Guido editor was not fully
satisfied with his effort. In his next
issue he has another word for his
English brother. That brothar, writ
ing of the proper motives to obedi
ence, had said :
“Too much cannot bo said in ur
gency of baptism as an act of obedi
ence to the authority of Jesus Christ
As a command of God through the,
commission of his Son, it is invested
with the sublimity of all authority in
heaven and in earth cannot bo neg
lected with impunitywhen it is known
to be a duty. Christ commanded bap
tism and submitted to it himself, and
this two-fold basis is the highest
ground on which the obligation can
be placed.”
This sounds as if it camo from the
heart and pen of a Baptist, and the
editor dearly recognizes the force of
the paragraph. He says :
“Here then are set forth the two
sole motives to obedience in bap
tism, viz., the example of Christ and
the authority of Christ. Surely this
should be enough.”
We think so, too. Certainly, un
der the economy of grace, these mo
tives are sufficient to constrain every
soul that sincerely reverences and
loves the Saviour. But the Guide
editor proceeds to argue that, in ad
dition to these exalted motives, we
should appeal to men's fears and
hope of reward. Hear him :
“True, the love of authority and
the love of Christ’s perfect life and
person should lead to obedience.
But this being left out in thousands
of cases, the resort to the fear of
condemnation is the exclusive mo
tive at work in the soul to bring it
to submit to the act of baptism III”
We cannot help marking this de
liverance with the exclamation point!
Surdy/lbe editor did not think how
his sentence would look when it
should confront the reader in cold
type. Baptists would unanimously
say that the soul that was moved to
baptism through the “fear of con-

dem nation” as the “exclusive mo
tive,” was a soul yet in the bonds of
iniquity—a stranger to saving grace
—and therefore a wholly unfit can
didate for the holy rite. lie who
cannot be moved to obedience by love
needs to betaught more perfectly the
first principles of contrition, repen
tanceo and faith. He needs to be born
again.
* * •
Turning to another page of the
Guide we find a very appreciative
notice of Mr. B. B. Tyler’s address
on the union of Baptist bodies, de
livered last May at the Baptist Con
gress in Philadelphia. The notice is
from the pen of Mr. Robt T. Matth
ews. Both Mr. Tyler and
Mr. Matthews are disciple min
isters, and are gentlemen whom
we personally know and
highly esteem. The address is
spoken of very kindly, and Mr-
Matthews takes occason to say some
quite bold things. For example:
“We have a number of times cri
ticized the Baptist deliverances on
the Apostolic and Catholic doctrine
‘one baptism for the remission of
sins.” Often have we heard our
Baptist brethren in the pulpit so in
terpret Acts 2: 38, as, in our judg
ment, to explain away any reality of
of remission in baptism. *****
We are ready honestly to acknow
ledge the rationalistic error of us
Disciples on this Apostolic and
Catholic doctrine. We have here
had the advantage of our Baptist
brethren all along in confessing and
preaching that in baptism the peni
tent believer receives a real remis
sion of his sins, and so with this
positive truth have distanced them
in expressing and pleading for the
unity of the Spirit.”
Now, we do wish that our brother
had stopped long enough to explain
what he meant by “real remission of
sins in baptism.” Did he mean ac
tual remission ? Did he (mean that
sins are actually, or only declarative
ly, washed away in baptism? But
hear further:
“We have encumbered our plea
with the unscriptural negation that
that the penitent believer has no
Scripture promise nor personal ex
perience whatever of the remission
ot sins until he is baptized.”
But if remission is scripturally on
ly through baptism, why call the
“negat ion” unscriptural? Surely the
positive necessarily implies the nega
tive. If there are Scripture promi
ses of remission prior to baptism,
then it cannot be said logically that
the scripture assurance of remission
is obtained in baptism. Our brother
follows the foregoing with a remark
able paragraph, which he emphasizes
with all the force of continuous
italics:
“Both Baptistsand Disciples,there
fore, have a lesson to learn as regards
Christian union. i\s long as Bap
tists generally teach that in baptism
there is for the penitent believer no
reality of the remission of sins,
Christendom will not hear them. As
long as we disciples teaoh that the
penitent believer has no Scripture
promise nor personal experience
whatever of the remission of sins
before his baptism, Christendom will
not hear us.”
2MI of which being interpreted i s
a practical surrender of the main
question at issue between the two
denominations. Baptist have sought
to know the mind of the Spirit con
cerning this matter, and belive that
the sight of God the penitent soul is
mistified by faith in the Lord Jesus
Chirst. In believing that some is ac
cepted of God and enters into the
possession of eternal life. We furth
er belive that this believing and jus
tified soul is to confess his Lord in
baptsini “unto the remission of sin.”
By that wo mean that baptism is the
formal declaration before monos
t hat justifying faith,in the exercise,
of which ho has already received
God’s pardon. In baptism ho washes
away his sins, just as in eating the
bread and drinking the wino ho oats
the body and drinks the blood of
Christ not really, but symbolically.
“The pastor of a Philadephia Pre
sbyterian church, finding that his
theological views have so changed
that ho is no longer in harmony
with the Presbyterian standards, be
came convinced that to hold his pas
torate was a course reconcilable nei
ther with his ordination Jvows nor
with his consoience. Ho according
ly offered his resignation in a letter
that contained these manly and hon
orable words.
Sincerity being above all things
vital to the preacher, I can conceive
of nothing baser than for one to be
lieve one system of truth in his heart
and oxpound another with his lips.
To be conseiously at variance with
the tenets of one’s church and use
one’s position, not to indoctrinate
and fortify, but to undermine and
destroy the congregation’s belief in
those tenets, is a part to disingenous
for a manly minister too play. Bet
ter a thousand times sacrifice the
most popular ministry, face poverty,
rend asunder the most tender ties,
pluck out one’s eye, than violate in
the most sacred office on earth the
integrity of one’s con.4cience.-Ex.
How does the action of this pastor
compare with that of Drs. Briggs
Smith?
MATTERS IN CUBA.
On the third of the present month
I left for Havana to inspect onr mis
sion work in the Island of Cuba, and
especially to make the last payment
on the house of worship purchased by
the Board.
That business having been satis
factorily accomplished and the last
dollar of idebtedness paid, I turned
my attention to the other interests.
Our mission work is prospering.
The first meeting I attended was
that of the Neptuno Street Mission.
This mission has been compelled to re
move recently, and its present quar
ters are neither so commodious nor
inviting as it formerly possessed. Its
importance demands better ones, but
they are difficult to procure at pre
sent. At this meeting three J were
recived for baptism, and ten arose
for prayer. This part of our work
is in charge of Brother OJlolloran
who with his excellent wife, conduct
a school and a Sunday-school in con
nection with it.
In the Pilar district, where our
work is in charge of Brother J. V •
Cova, we have a good congregation
which crowds the building every
Sunday. There were about one hun
dred in attendance at the weekly
prayer meeting, and one was receiv
ed for baptism. Here we have an ex
cellent day school, and a Sunday
school that rivals in numbers and
interest that of Brother Diaz’s church
Brother Cova and his wife and other
teachers are doing noble work, and
the interest here is growing. He has
some excellent helpers in his church
whose intelligence, influence, and
consecration aid greatly in promoting
the cause. Though better accommo
dated than the Neptuno Street Mis
sion, the place m too small for them,
and they greatly need increased
facilities for the work.
Ti e misssicqa atLos Puentes and
San Miguiel I did not visit, though I
saw the pasters of both of these
churches. At both places we have
day schools, and Sunday-schools.
Brother Bueno at San Miguiel re
ports fifteen received for baptism. As
he has no baptistry, and the authori
ties do not allow any religious act
to bo performed outside their places
of worship,and as he is some dis
tance from other stations, ho is ac
customed to carry his converts to
some one of them for baptism.
At Brother Diaz's church there
were on Thursday night not less than
throe hundred at his prayer meeting.
The meeting was a spirited one. Many
wero the thanksgivings to God that
that their beautiful house of worship
was paid for in full and was now
surely theirs. Many were the bles
ings invoked upon their American
brethren who had so generously
helped them. ;kt this meeting five
wero received for baptism, three
were baptized, and many arose for
prayer. Even since my last visit
there has been decided improvement
in this congregation, more in the
manner and character of the
men attending the meetings than in
any other respect. Evidently Brother
Diaz is reaching a more|influential das
of the community than ever before
That night I saw men standing up
for prayer whose appearance indi
cated that such men would be an ac
quisition to and of our churches in
Atlanta, Louisville,or Richmond. A n
American lady,whoso long residence
in Havana enabled her to know, told
ine that some of the best families
now attend the Baptist church, and
on Sunday night I saw such evi
dences of this as assured me that
she was not mistaken. That our
Baptist cause is taking a stronger
hold in Havana is inaifest when
looked at from every point of view.
In another article 1 propose to
give the facts on which this convic
tion is based,and the causes that un
derlie the increasing influence of our
principles and our people.

floridaTgreeting.
Dear Index.—l have been disap
pointed for two weeks. You have
not put in an appearance at my office
for two weeks now, and I am troub
led. I have missed you. Your visits
are like letters from home, for I have
not yet got over the fpeling that
Georgia is home. For your non
appearance, I was holding that im
personal but often very convenient
impersonality, “Uncle Sam,” account
able, but a modest, brief, printed
note received last evening from the
Index Office, asking for some “help’’
leads me to suspect that the blame
rests not on an impersonal, but a
very personal person. So here i g
some help, and come again, renew
your calls, for you are welcome. Let
me now, at once extend to you an
invitation more personal, to
our Convention, which meets in Lake
City, near the border, and immedi
ately on the line of that popular Rail
Road the building of which was an
other strong ligament, binding us as
States more closely, the G. S. and
Florida, and the day is Thursday,
January the sth. I run no risk in
extending you this invitation, for I
have known the hospitality of those
people for several years. Come and
test it.
The last one of our Associations
for this year, closed at Titusville
some two weeks ago, the Indian
River Association. It is a small
body, of less than 350 members per
haps, divided up into nine churches.
Os these there are but three but are
directly or indirectly aided by our
State Board of missions, and when I
came to this section first, but one of
the nine churches was in existence.
The Finance Committee’s report, at
the recent session, showed the rais
ing and expenditure of more than
$2,000 in last Associational year, no*’
including salary and church home
expenses. The largest part of that
amount was contributed by the De.
Land Church, where our University
is located. I call to mind the follow
ing sums contributed by that body
with about 150 members. Minis
terial Education, $100: Home Board,
$151: State Missions, $134: Foreign’
Missions, (to support bro. Walue, in
Japan,) $456: For Church building
and Christmas offerings at least $100:
and for Baptist Witness Benevolent
fund $l5O. The DeLand Church is
not large, nor rich except in good
works. A considerable part too, of
the amount reported, was for build
ing houses in the Association. I
hope a few of my friends in Georgia,
to whom 1 have personally appealed,
and not in vain, for help in this work, |
will see from what I have writtent i
that we have not sought help from |
abroad, without trying to help our- I
selves. I would be personally favor- |
cd, if any who read this, would remit
me, a seat, for our Titusville House,
i. e. $1.15 cts. to get one, and I do
think you would be making a good
use of that amount. A few beloved
friends in Georgia put in sections of
three and six seats,
Os our School and general work
I can’t write now, nor can I do more
than say of Lawson, Newman and
Sullivan, whom you have sent us
recently, we thank you for them, and
trust they may be loved as much for
their works’ sake, when they have
been here as long, as Jolley is.
Our veteran missionary, S. F.
Gove, also a gift of Georgia, has re
cently returned from a visit to his
former home, recuperated, and en
tered upon the hard work of his field,
with the vim of a young man - and
he is nearly 70 years young, not old
yet. Anywhere almost, is good, but
I am inclined to the opinion that the
east coast of Florida is a very desir
able section for winter visitors, who
are troubled with lung (I need not
say that, for none are!) or throat ails.

Helen F. Clark, Superintendent
Chinese mission, Mott street, and
viciniy, N. Y. makes a strong appeal
in The Examiner for help in men
and money in the prosecution of the
work.
The management of the school in
■which Chinese men are instructed, is
under Mr. A. M. Fowler, yr., while
Miss or Mrs. Clark is the teacher of
the Chinese women in the Mott st.
school. As superintendent of the
whole work, she had to provide
teachers, and money to meet the
needs of the schools. The work has
increased so rapidly' since July last
that she can no longer meet the de
mands upon her. She has this to say
about men as teachers for men.
■‘This work for the Chinese men
has been begun ot; a new principle.
We believe that their evangelization
s peculiarly and specially the work
of our Christian men, and, conse
quently, we have followed the rule
laid down at the inception of this
work, to ask only men to teach. The
Christian public has long and loudly
demanded this change in the meth
od of conducting the Chinese work.
Will you now prove that your critic
ism comes from and honest convic
tion by taking hold of the work with
us? Or will you leave us to struggle
on in this vast work unaided?”
This work among the Chinese in
New York is in the right direction
Every converted and well instructed
Chinaman may become an efficient
missionary among his countrymen
in America, or in his native land.

We are pleased to present this from
Rev. A. A. Williams, of the Sillsbeo
street Christian Church, Lynn, Mass.:
“ I see no reason why a clergyman, more than
a layman, who knows whereo* he speaks
should hesitate to approve an
Article of Morit
and worth, from which ho or his family have
been signally benefited, and whose commenda
tion may serve to extend those benefits to
oiheis by increasing their confidence. Mywifa
has for many years neon a sufferer from severs
Nervous Headache
for wlilch she found llttlo help. She has tried
many fl ings that promised well but per
formed little. Last fall a friend gave her a bot
tle of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. It soems surpris
ing what simply one bottle could and did do
for her. Thu attacks of headache decreased la
number and were less violent in their inten
sity, while her general health has been im
proved. Her appetite has also been better.
From our experience with
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
I have no hesitation in endorsing ita merits.”
A. A. Williams.
