2 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 id homo (L it" been engendered by giving to 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.” * F. C. McConnell. Tho thirteenth annual report of Captain R. 11. Pratt,surperintendent and general manger of the Indian training-school at Carlisle, states that the progress of the the school has been remarkable. During the year the boys have earned 83, and the girls |&,170.15, a total of $21,888.98. Their savings were 815- 723.5 b, FBOM CALIFORNIA. 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, above mentioned, some one, name not made public, has recently given the Chicago University 1250,000. It is Also announced that Mr. Rockefeller has added another million to his pre vious princely gifts to the same in stitution. These are noble examples of bcneticonce. 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.” Rev. A. King, I). D., of Waco, Texas, is the guest of Rev, J. N, Craig, of Atlanta. Dr. King was the Moderator of the last general, assemb ly of tho Presbyterian Church, and is the I hairman of a committee of fifteen appointed to consider the methods of conducting tbo home missionary work of the church. Dr. Craig is the Secretary of the assemb ly, and the committee will meet at his otlice on Wednesday, January 4th 1893.

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. ALE and BEEF “PEPTONIZED" l INVALIDS, For J CONVALESCENTS. ( JfURSING MOTHERS. Supplies complete nutrition.
