fatigue, and without the least wor
ry.
Now I was thinking how like
these our great mission work might
become. If we all could help and
thus combine our strength, each
would receive the result of the work
of all the rest. Suppose, as did
sometimes occur, there had been a
miserable selfish, cross-grained fel
low in the neighborhood who would
not help anybody else roll logs, husk
his corn or wheat. Well it just
meant that ho rolled his own logs,
husked his own corn and threshed
his own wheat. No it meant more;
It meant that he had little or no
corn, or logs, or wheat, and much
worse still that he had no neighbors,
no sympathy, no happiness. He shut
himself off from fellowship with
them from whom he must gain the
communion that makes life endurable.
I hardly need make application of
these familiar illustrations, their
meaning stands out on the surface.
Most people now know nothing of
«‘log rollings” or “corn shuckings”
and wo thresh our wheat with mod
ern improved machines that do not
require the neighborhood to manipu
late, but we have a world of lost sin
ners and there arc no new applian
ces for saving them. No man can
idbird to undertake the obligations
that are upon him without the help
of his brethren, and we cannot ex
pect the help of others if we deny
them our fellowship in the work giv
en us all to do. In tho sublime
w ork Christian people have received
from the hands of their Master, more,
ten fold, than in any earthly relations
are we partnkersof the labors of oth
ers. God in his wonderful economy
of grace has provided the literal ful
fillment of the inspired expression
“there is that which scattoreth and
yet mcrcaseth.” Tho income to every
worker is the product of the labors
of all the workers. In two ways ho
enjoys the results. In soul pros
perity and in the progress of the im
mediate task allotted to him. Who
shall say that the prosperity of our
own home work is not the reflex re
sult of the work we have done in
Foreign Lands.
I hear brethren Hpoaking Bome
timeß as if they feared all their mon
ey had boon poured iu a sink-hole.
My brother! if you have ever had
Hitch a thought, open your eyes and
hoc the ardent enthusiasm for

HM salvation of -onls in other lands.
regcm rale 111..11 can resist the 110-
■c impulses that are awakened by
giving to missions. It puts him in
to practical fellowship with Christ
»nd gives birth to the practical inter
est in souls which our blessed Savior
had.
I have known Pastors who feared
that tho work would suffer at home
because of giving to the work a
broad. How eftcu docs some really
valuable m;lu fall into this awfully
mistakeued notion. Show me the
churches thut give most to missions
and I will prove to any who doubt
that the mission spirit reacts upon
the church life with more power
than any measure that it is possible
to adopt. Tho poor will bo cared
for, the sinners in the community
will become objects of interest,
church expenses will be cheerfully
met and the Pastor will receive more
as salary and sympathy. A church
that is taught its obligation to save
the world and is lead to put forth
energy to that end will grow in grace
ind renew its vigor, while the church
.hat is allowed to ignore her Lord’s
Miiuiuand will be impoverished and
will wither as the fated “tig tree” on
which the son of God found no fruit.
Georgia! great Georgia! what a
“log rolling” we could have! Put
your strength together ye sons of
God and clear away the obstructioiiß
to the progress of truth. Come to
the fellowship of labor and strip the
husks from the ripened corn, join
manhood to manhood and woman
hood to womanhood on the thresh
ing-tloor of divine opportunity, and
with flail of mighty Gospel truth sep
arate and winnow the wheat from
the chaff as God shall approve that
in the garner on high all may rejoice
together when each shall hear the
plaudit “Well done good and faith
ful servant enter thou into the joys
of thy Lord.” *

A Georgia Baptist, who made his
home in “the Golden State” several
years ago, writes, not for the press
but to a former pastor, under date,
“Santa Barbara,” Dec. 15tb, 1892:
* * * Here, in this far away
land, I often think of some of the
sermons 1 have heard you preach-
Sometimes, the thoughts you express
ed and the texts you selected come
to me like a new revelation, at a
time when they would seem to be
sent just to strengthen me, like the
voice of an old friend and councelor.
Many of tho texts which I have not
written down except in my memory, I
do not think I will forget even should
I be living when age effaces the
memory of other things. * * *
This is a glorious country for old
people, and there are more of them
here than I ever noticed in other
lands. This, you know, is called “the
Italy of America,” but I think a
more appropriate name would be
“the Canaan of America,” as it is
exactly a reproduction (on a more
extensive scale) of that land which
was “the glory of all lands, a land
flowing with milk and honey.”
It is a strange country in many
respects. For instance: every morn
ing for the last twelve, there has
been a white frost, and yet all kinds
of hot-house plants flourish out of
doors and bloom the year round.
This morning I observed the fuch
sias (some of them fifteen feet high),
begonias, verbenas (growing to the
size of small trees), and geraniums
(hedges of them higher than my
head), all covered with a profusion
of flowers. Tomatoes will produce
several successive years without re
planting. Fields of calla lillies grow
and bloom all the winter.
In fact, winter is the growing sea
son here, and summer is the time of
rest, when for seven mouths there
is no rain. It is regarded as a calam
ity to have rain later than the latter
part of April or earlier than the first
of December. They do not want to
plant corn till after the Spring rains
are over, and try to get it housed
before the autumn rains begin; and
vast fields, far better than the aver
age in Georgia are flourishing and
black with moisture in .Inly and
August. Notwithstanding the frost,
wo have vegetables like tomatoes,
English peas,cu'‘umbers, strawberries
and small fruits until with corn
’green’l^orn’Marcti to "December. _
Everything that will grow in any
part of the world seems to flourish
here. Tho vines wore loaded with
grapes till the first autumn rain,
which came Sunday, Nov. 27th, ruin
ed them. The dusters are like the
pictures of those the spies brought
out from the promised land. All
kinds of fruits grow; but oranges and
lemons and English walnuts and al
monds and olives (the latter mostly
made into oil) are the staple fruit
crops; though we have fine peaches
till in November, and apples are
liner and larger than in Georgia.
People from all parts of the
United States and often from Europe
come here for health, mostly for the
cure of asthma and consumption.
There are no malarious diseases as
in most parts of Florida.
About half tho population, a mix
ture of Spanish and Indian, are
nominal Roman Catholics But the
American element, chiefly descend
ant from people of the Southern
States, is in control and is constantly
increasing. Tho old mission Catho
lic fathers are all the time losing
ground, though their most flourish
ing mission, that of Santa Barbara, is
located here. Tho Baptists are the
fewest in number of the leading
Protestant denominations; but the
little church here has increased more
in the hist year (han at any time
since its establishment. There are
towns jn Southern California of a
population of three thousand souls
without any Baptist church. All
the other denominations are making
more strenuous efforts than the Bap
tists, especially the Methodists and
the Unitarians.
In time to come, Southern Califor
nia will have a vast population, as a
living can be made here on less land
than anywhere I know of, and, ex
cept as to clothes and furniture, liv
ing is cheaper here than anywhere.

Chicago is indeed fortunate, or un
fortunate in receving so much money
for charitable and educational purpo
ses. Besides the gift of Mr. Armour,

Also announced that Mr. Rockefeller
has added another million to his pre

THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY JANUARY 5, 1893.
ASKED AND ANSWERED.
BY C. E. W. DOUBS.
How were the scriptures preserved
from the time they were written?
Did the Jewish church ever author
itatively settle the Old Testameat
canon? Who kept the New Testa
ment manuscripts from error from
the apostles till they were translated
into English?
D. I. P.
We know nothing of any “Jewish
Church.” The “church” as an insti
tution, belongs to the gospel dispen
sation. The word does not occur at
all in the Old Testament. In the
two New Testament passages some
times cited (Acts, 7: 38; Ileb. 2: 12 )
the Greek word is used not in its
oflicial, but primary sense of “congre-
or “assembly,” as in Acts 19:
39, 41, 'Die Jewish priests were the
custodians of their sacred writings
from the time of Moses till the com
ing of Christ. We find the following
excelent summary of the facts in
quired about in a secular weekly,
and we give our readers the benefit
of it.
'Die books of the law were the first
books of the Bible to be collected
by the priests and leaders of the
Israelites; after the law camo the
written history of the people, in the
Fifth century, B. C., the collection of
the prophets by Nehemiah; and from
this time onward the collection of
hagiographa, the Psalms, Proverbs,
Job, Canticles, etc. All of these had
been preserved by the priests, copied
and recopied as occasion required,
and circulated in manuscript, as, of
course, all writings were circulated
in those days. 'Die dispersion of the
Jews, and their acquisition of other
languages and loss of the Hebrew
language, necessitated the translation
of the Scriptures into other than the
Hebrew; and previous to the Second
century B. C., what we know as the
Septuagint translation—the LXX—
was completed in Greek, designed
especially for the Jews living in Alex
andria and other parts of Egypt. 'Die
name, Septuagint comes from a tradi
tion that seventy scholars—seventy
two actually—made the translation.
Translations and recensions into the
Aramaic, the common language of
Palestine in the apostolic age, were
also made,and these translations were
copied from time to time, so that the
of the Old Testy,
mentnow extant is only about 1,400
,years old. The case is the same
with the New’ Testament; it was writ
ten again and again, until now there
are upwards of a thousand manu
scripts for the Gospels, and as many
more for the rest of the New Testa
ment. 'Die oldest manuscripts are
the Codex Sinaiticus and the Codex
Vatican us which date from the Fourth
century, A. I). So the books of the
Bible were handed down, the old
copies always being renewed before
they were worn out, the language be
ing Hebrew, Greek, and after A. 1).,
■IOO, Latin. The latter, in the trans
lation adopted by the Roman Church
and known as the Vulgate, because
commonly used in the Christian
churches, was the first book printed,
in 1450-55. As far back as the sev
enth century, portions of the V ulgate
were translated into English, and the
early versions by Wickliffe and his
predecessors, were translated from
the Vulgate. Tyndale used Luther’s
German translation of the Greek Bi
ble. The authorized Version of King
James was made by forty-seven
scholars, all Episcopalians, and finish
ed in Kill; the manuscripts, so far as
accessible, were consulted, the trans
lators not restricting themselves to
the Vulgate, but going to the Hebrew
and Greek whenever they could,
though tho oldest manuscripts acces
sible to them did not date further
back than the tenth century. The
Revised Version of 1881 made use of
all tho later discovered manuscripts.
What is the “law” and what is tho
“gospel,” and what is their relation
to each other? j. m. z.
This question has come to us tho
second time. In a private letter wc
endeavored to relieve some difficul
ties in tho mind of our first corres
pondent, but here is a request that
the inquiry bo answered through the
Index. Two texts troubled tho in
quirer : Matt. 5 : 17, compared with
11:18. Jesus said: “1 came not
to destroy the law,” yet he subse
quently declared that “the law was
until John—since then tho kingdom
of heaven.” Tho term “law” some
times refers exclusively to the Mo
saic law found in the first five books
—tho “Pentateuch.” Sometimes it
is usod of tbo old dispensation as a
whole. The “gospel” in general
means tho glad tidings of redemption
through Christ, and may be used
to describe the new or Christian dis-
pensation, as contrasted with the
law or old dispensation. “Up to
John the law ; from him the gospel,”
said the great champion of early or
thodoxy, Athanasius. The Jews
misunderstood Jesus. Instead of
being a revolutionary instructionist
aiming to overturn all'their cherish
ed institutions, He came to fulfill the
law. In his teaching he completed
what W'as imperfect; m the ethical
principles and precepts of his gos
pel he greatly advanced beyond the
moral teaching of the law-. He did
not Ibose a single bond of morality
imposed by the law, but emphasized
and widened the scope of all its eth
ical requirements. Because he so
taught, many supposed he was des
troying the law,” whereas in place of
its narrow negations and limited pre
cepts, he inculcated principles of
greater spiritual import and far
reaching application. Everything
that was fundamentally ethical and
moral in the law was taken over into
the gospel, re-aftirmed and placed
on a higher plane. But there was a
sense in which the law was “destroy
ed” by the gospel. Paul tells us
that we are no longer under the law,
it being done away. The passages
are so many we can refer to but a
few. See Rom. 10 :4; 8 : 3-7 ; Gal.
3 : 19-25 ; 2 Cor. 3 : 7-11 ; Rom. 6 :
15. From these and many other
passages we gather: 1. Tho law
was prophetic of, and preparatory to
Christ. 2, In His teaching and re
demptive work He completed and
fulfilled the law. 3. Having been
fulfilled, the law was done away, and
the new dispensation of the spirit
and grace was established. Just as
the old articles of confederation were
done away when the United States
constitution of 1787 became the su
preme law of our country. Os ne
cessity we cannot find this fulness of
teaching in the personal discourses
of Christ. Till his death fulfilled
the law, it was regnant. Before
Calvary and the resurrection, he
could not fully disclose the “gospel”
and its relation to the “law.” The
fuller teaching was left for the spir
it-guided apostles to unfold. A veiy
valuable little book along this line of
thought is Bernard’s “Progress of
Doctrine in the New’ Testament.’’
We commend it to any one who
wishes to have clear conceptions on
this subject. In view’ of what has
beep said ftabejkom j satisfactory
uniSrsfunJing ofsuiyLord’s' words
can be reacted. j
A man by thennineof Delk who was
held in Fulton County jail upon the
charge of some crime, recently killed
a negro named Evans, who was also
a prisoner. Delk was tried before
Judge Richard 11. Clark, and owing
to some extenuating facts, escaped
the gallows, anij was sentenced to
the penetentiary for ten years. In
passing sentence upon Delk, Judge
('lark.made the following touching
.remarks about his mother and sisters,
and gave a warning that reckless and
disobedient boys may well read and
heed.
“About two years ago Mrs. Delk
came to me to get a bond fixed for
her husband so she could get him out
of jail, where he then was charged
with a felony. She was accompanied
by her twin daughters, who were
then about fifteen years old. It was
in summer time. They were blondes
attired in white muslin dresses
modestly decorated with roses.
They recalled to iny mind that
beautiful creation of the twin sisters,
Rose and Blanch, by Eugene Sue.
They were just fifteen, too. So it
may be imagined how sweet the Delk
twin girls looked in their white dres
ses and roses.
My heart went out to that mother
and her daughters. That their lives
should be troubled and blighted by
felons of their own blood and house
hold, was sad indeed to contemplate,
and yet such is the condition of quite
a number of mothers, and daughters
and wives in this city. If boysand
men, when the idea of crime seized
them, would jnst think of mother
and sister and wife, perhaps some
would desist.”

ENCOURAGING THE PEOPLE.
Itesson for Jan. 15th, 1893.
Scripture Lesson.—Hag. 2:1-9.
Motto Text :—“Except the Lord
build the house, they labor in vain
that build it.” Ps. 127 :1.
INTRODUCTION.
Os the prophet Haggai scarcely
anything can be known. His writ
ings may be placed about the year
520 B. C., and cover a period of only
about four months. His special mis
sion is in connection with the build
ing of the second temple, so he is
associated with Ezra and Nehemiah-
In the latter part of his work, Zech
ariah is engaged in a like mission’
and carries it on after him.
Only a handful of the Jews had
returned from Babylon, and their
condition was one of poverty and
wretchedness. Desolation and ruin
greeted them on every hand. In
two years they rebuilt the altar, re
established sacrifices, and laid the
foundations of the new temple with
great enthusiasm. Then difficulties
arise, enemies are arrayed in opposi
tion, and for fifteen years the work
is neglected. The despondency of
those who remembered the glory of
the former temple, and the opposi
tion of the Samaritans (See Ezra 4 :
1-24) caused their zeal to wane and
their efforts to cease. To exhort and
encourage them to renewed activity
is the purpose of Haggai’s mission.
His first oracle 1.) stirs up
the rulers and the people to begin
their task anew. But in the short
space of three or four weeks they
again yield to discouragements. He
then comes with a second message
of encouragement that kindles their
faith and zeal into a glow’ that never
fails until the work is done.
EXPLANATION.
V. I. The time referred to by the
any and month named is during the
feast of tabernacles. As they cele
brate their tent-life in the wilder
ness, their deliverance from Egypt
by God’s mighty hand and outstretch
ed arm, the glories of that time make
painful by comparison their present
fewness and poverty.
V- 2. The message is through,
the prophet, to the governor, to the
high priest and to all the people.
Note the rank of the prophet. None
can stand higher than he whose duty
and delight it is to make known
the will and way of the Lord.
V. 3. Any of those who wete
present of 78 or 80 years of age
would remember the former temple-
How splendid it was! Read 1 Kgs
-6 : 22, 28, 30, 32, 35 ; 7 : 48-50 ; 2
Chron. 3 : 4-9. Six hundred talents
of gold—about 22 millions of dol
lars—were used in overlaying the
Holy of Holies alone. How natural
their despondency.
V. 4. .Be strong. This was the
exhortation of David to Solomon iu
building the first temple. See 1
Chron. 28 : 10, 20. It was needed
then as now. I am with you. What
more need be said. This was the
secret of Solomon’s success and of
the deliverance from Egypt.
V. 5. The word that cove
nanted WITH YOU WHEN YE CAME
out of Egypt. Tho promises unto
the Fathers is unto all the succes
ors and associates in like office, re
lation or purpose. Mr spirit re
mainetu. The Holy Spirit is here
meant, “that spirit which in the old
Testament was not yet revealed as
a distinct person in the Trinity, but
was conceived as a divine energy im
manent in the world at large, but
manifesting itself in extraordinary
measure among Jehovah’s chosen
people.”
Vs 6-8. The silver * • •
THE GOLD IS .MIMI. I WILL SHAKE.
The Lord here asserts his ownership
and control of all things, and’ his
purpose to control them all to the
promotion of his glory. The pro
mise of his presence is thus ac
companied by the assurance of his
power and authority and of his gra
cious designs.
V. 9. The crowning promise of
all is here given. The glory of
THIS LATTER HOUSE SHALL BE GREAT.
ER THAN OF THE FORMER. It CAD
hardly lie claimed that this promise
has reference to greater material ex
cellence. When there are lacking
the ark with its mercy seat and Che
rubim, tho Urim and Tlnuumim, the
tire from heaven, the Shechinab,
wherein shall its glory be found?
Rather in things spiritual than ma
terial and visible. The Messiah
himself shall come to this house,
bhall worship at its altar, shall fill
the place with manifestations of his
power and messages of truth. Shall
give peace within its walls. All
that is material must give way that
spiritual glory may be supreme.
SUGGESTIONS.
1. Note the frequency in this,
lesson of the title “Lord of Hosts.’
The design is to call special atten
tion to the fact that God has control
of all powers and is'thus able to ex
ecute his will. If God be for us
who can be against us? How poor
the people were when the prophets
message came. Yet in a wondrous
way did their difficulties vanish while
alien and hostile people contributed
to their help and success.
2. In a “little while” (v. 6) God’s
purpose will be fulfilled. To us his
“little while” may seem long, and
many a time our impatience robs us
of rich joys by our plucking them
jnst before the time of their full
fruitage. No virtue is so much
needed as patience to bide God’s lit
tle while.
