One of our ministerial brethren,
sending us a new name, with money
for the Index a year, says “I find
the more my members read the In
dex the better Christians they are. I
kill endever io put it iu ovfry'fami
ly.” If every pastor in Georgia
would do this, the Index would ac
complish a great deal more than it
does and our denomination would
be benefited much by it.

great pressure on our coluins will not
permit us giving his full article.

The Macon Evening News, said
Dr. J. C. Solomon, who was unani

care of the church, and by so doing,
has made the church and congrega

very much admired by them. Ho
also has a great many friends in Ma

acceptance with delight.
The improvements of South Ga.,
from a material standpoint, should
claim our attention. The tax di
gest shows a wonderful increase in
taxable property in the last few
years. This is due to the farming
interest. More rapid strides have
been in education in South Ga., in
the last few years, than in any part
of our “Grand Old State,” we have
any knowledge of. Former super
stition and immorality are giving w ay
to enlightenment as darkness before
the morning light. The possibili
ties of South Ga., from a material
and intellectual point of view, are
to say the least of it, extremely flut
tering. The absorbing question is,
will the Baptist hosts of Ga. slop
their ears to all the appeals and in-

S. B. Convention,aiding in the effort
to raise the $250,000 Centennial fund

This was the best arrangement we
could make* it being all the time he

are held with special reference to
the Centennial movement and the

be in addition to, and not a part] of,

Tt becomes our sad dntyto chron
icle the death of Bro. B. B. Amos,
of Gainesville, He died at his homo
a few daya\f>'ir'e, loc.kj.wjr month
of being 84 years old. His remains
were carried to La Grange, and in
terred in Hillview cemetery. For
sometime he was an active member
of the LaGrange Baptist church.
At time of his death he was a mem
ber of the church at Gainesville.
Funeral services were held by pastor
F. C. McConnall before the re
mains left for La Grange.
Death continues to claim its victims
The Baptist brotherhood of Georgia
will be pained to learn of the death
Rev. N. N.Edge on Christmas eve.
He suddenly fell to the floor from
heart failure. His wife picked him
up ami and he expired with his
head in her lap. He was more than
66 years old and leaves many warm
friends to mourn their.
Last Thursday morning brother
Aquilla Chamlee was ordained to
the gospel ministry—Rev. A. B.
Vaughn, Jr., and Rev. J. A. Wynn
constituting the presbytery. We
learn that Bro. Chamlee will be the

Blackshear Mission.—Making a
tour of this section in the interest of
the State Board, I visited churches
in the Mt. Vernon, Washington and
Hephzibah Associations, and have re
turned to my field. The people in
Central Georgia listened attentively
as we presented the condition of
Wiregrass Georgia, and many were
surprised at the wonderful improve
ment in our section; others were sur
prised that there are yet such destitu
tion sections here. In view of these
facts wo are surprised that many of
our churches are doing so little for
missions, and especially State mis
sions.
We desire to say something of this
section.
Mrs. John F. Hays, of Afton, Va.,
is spending the winter South, and is
now with friends in Greenville, Ga.
On Doc. 28th, A. B. Campbell, pas
tor at Americus, took- possession of
the study in the new church. The
room has been furnished elegantly
by the ladies of the congregation.
The Index cordially commends
the example set by the West End
church. Pastor S. Y. Jameson has
been sorely afflicted with whooping
cough in his family. He had deci
ded to take them to Florida about
Jan. Ist. On Christmas day, after
the service, ho was asked to retire.
The Church raised a purse of SIOO
as a Christmas gift and granted him
a leave of absence for one month, to
arrange for his family in Florida.
In the Baptist Church at Fairburn

On the following night we had a

sorry that it hasn’t a larger circula

We are much strengthened by the
many endorsements of the Index the
past year. Both personally and by letter
we are receiving most encouraging mes

reading the Itdex closely for many
years. Renewing his subscription the

It is with much sorrow that we chron
cle the death of Bro. Daniel, Dec, 22nd,
1892, at Griffin Ga.
He had been in rather feeble health
for a number of years, having been the
victim of regularly recurring attacks of
hay fever every year. Each return of
the disease was more and more violent,
until his constitution finally yielded-
The last attack, which culminated in his
death, was protracted through several
weeks, and was attended with much
suffering. lie boro it all with true
Christian patience and fortitude. He
passed quietly to bis reward, sustaiued
by unfaltering faith in Christ, and a
good hope through grace.
Ho was an earnest Christian, an aide
preacher of the gospel, and a faithful
pastor. He was greatly beloved by his
people, and bad the esteem and confi
dence of the communities in which he
has labored.
The Index extends sympathy to the
bereaved family.
Wo hope soon to publish a more ex

THE S OUTH GEORGIA BAPTIST CON
VENTION.
(This ’ invention was organized
two years ago at this place, and we
fluid the pleasure of it
again this year. Bro. Hatcher and
Bros. Reeves and Edens of The In
dex were all here, and I have been
very much surprised at not seeing
anything about it in The Index for
I was sure one or all of thorn would
have something to say about it, but
they have not and I am so afraid
tkat “you North Georgia Baptists’
won’t know that “we Wiregrass Bap
tists” are at work, that, I could not
resist the temptation of writing any
longer. The Convention met in the
Mcßae Baptist church, Friday morn
ing, at eight o’clock, Nov. 18th, and
elected Bro. J. A. Scarboro, of East
man, Moderator, and Bro. W. L.
Geiger, Secretary. Bro. Geiger was
our former pastor and is very much
beloved by the people here. Even
our own little five year old Alice
when she heard he was here said :
“Mamma, don’t you reckon Brother
Geiger will have time to preach a
little bit while ho is here?” There
were a good many delegates present
but not as many as we expected for
our hearts and homes were wide
open to all who would come, and
we were a little disappointed that
there wore not more present. How
ever, much good was accomplished
and the different reports on Missions,
Education, Temperence, Sunday
schools, etc., were good and showed
that South Georgia Baptists are
working and looking up, and that
we shall not be satisfied until we
have gained all of South Georgia for
Christ. The Executive Committee
had a meeting at Abbeville last Mon
day, and have decided to put Bro.
Scarboro in the field again this year
as State missionary for this section
of the state, and he is certainly the
man for the place, for he is sound in
the doctrines, strong in the faith and
his heart is all on fire with tho love
of God, and the saving of immortal
souls. There were a good many
prominent ministers present, and it
was certainly a rich feast to hear
them preach and discuss tho differ
ent subjects taken up. Dr. Gibson
was here with his heart all on lire
for Missions.

O’Kelley of Hawkinsville preached
at cloven o’clock Sunday morning
and Dr. Gibson at. the same hour at
tho Methodist church. I wish every
Baptist in Georgia could have heard
Bro. O’Kelley’s sermon. His sub
ject was.“ Missions,” and when he
had finished I just felt like if I was'
worth a hundred thousand dollars,
I would want to give every cent of
it, but I had to come down to tho
pitiful sum of two dollars and a half.
What a tumble and how little I did
feel 1 The collection Sunday morn
ing at both churches amounted to
about nine hundred dollars. The
largest amount that has ever been
collected here at one time.
The convention meets next year
at Statesboro, and I hope the States
boro people will be as much benefit
ted as we were, for we see the fruits
of it every day. It is a blessing to
any town to have the South Georgia
Baptist Convention meet with
them.
The Woman’s Missionary Union
of the 4th District of Georgia met
also during the Convention and their
meeting together was certainly en
joyable and I trust good will come
of it.
A few words about Mcßae and I
will close. We have a Baptist church
with about sixty-five membery a
flourishing Sunday-school. A week
ly prayer-meeting, Woman’s Alis
sionary Society, and a children’s
Missionary Society. W. J. Barton

of November to serve the church
two Sundays in the month for next
year.
The people are kind, hospitable
and generous and we feel glad that
God has placed ns in such a goodly
land. Alice York Barton.

face of strength. He was a clergy
man of note, and in 1738 preached
“a century sermon,” mentioned in
Arnold’s history as “the leading lite
