missions in the “region beyond” have
we not oftentimes transcended that
which is written and urged our own
reasons for missions instead of the
one great reason which Christ fur
nishes. I take the following state
ment to be unwise: “If the heathen
are not lost without the Gospel, then
the greatest calamity that we could
inflict upon them would be to send
them the news of the salvation in
Christ.” Because, in the first place
we have no right to assume that all
are lost without having heard the
Gospel, and in the next place wheth
er they are saved or lost with or
without the Gospel, still we arc
bound by the authority of Christ to
go preach the Gospel to all nations.
It is our duty, not to count the saved
Or the lost but to preach. Christ Je
sus does not discuss the present state
nor the future prospects of the hea
then. He simply commands us to
go preach. All power is given me
in heaven and on earth, therefore,
g°-
The “therefore” means, not prima
rily, that I have the power to assist
you and therefore I encourage you
to go. But I have the authority,
therefore I command you to go.
It is not om s to ask tho reason why.
Jt is not ourstto inako reply.
It is ours to do or die.
Power is pledged to assist us but
that is the secondary consideration
added in the latter part of the Great
Commission. There is more than a
pledge of assistance, there is the
voice of authority, the tones of a
commander and a leader to the peo
ple, whose words we are bound to
obey, our theories about the heftthen
to the contrary, notwithstanding.
If men, that is some men, are
saved by the light of nature, still it
is our duty to carry the light of the
Gospel to them. But the light of
nature by which men may be sav
ed is that partial light which comes
from Christ who is the light that
lightencth every man that comes
into the world. The Gospel is the
fuller light. Christ as the Logos,
the word, tho proposition of God,
is the revealer of all truth. So
that at last, by whatever light one
is saved, it is by the Light which
proceeds from Christ. In any case
whether one is saved by little or
much light still the Gospel would be
good news to the world.
1 might get home by the light of
the stars, yet I should be all the
gladder for the light of the sun to
walk by.
An increase of light will bring an
increase of responsibility, but we
must not withhold the gospel on
that account. We shall increase the
responsibilities of our children by
sending them to school, but no sane
man would refuse to send them
for that reason. If obligations are
increased, ability also is increased
to meet teose obligations.
But whether responsibility may
be - - increased or lessened ,wo are
bound to preach the Gospel to every
creature, because Christ has com
manded it.
Ono is not condemned because he
has heard. Neither is he condemned
because he has not heard.
A heathen in Africa or China is
no worse than a heathen in Ameri
ca. The word heathen in the begin
ing was not associated with the idea
of crime. A heathen was one who
dwelt in the heath. A pagan one
who dwells in a village. The heart
is regarded more than the locality,
in the eyes of God. Not the hearer
of the word is justified, but the doer.
The rejection of light brings con
demnation. And this is the con
demnation that light is come into
the world and men love darkness
rather than light. One is judged ac
cording to the light he has received.
If ho has been given such a revela
tion as we have, he is judged by this
levelation. If he has been given on
ly the light of nature, he is judged
by the light of Nature only.
But the whole Universe is groun
ded in reason, which employs the
wisest means and executes the high
est ends in love towards all creat
ures. If one put himself in line with
this reason as far as he can appre
hend it, he is safe, since Christ has
died. He is in line with Christ, for
Christ as the Logos, is the Absolute
Reason in which the Universe is
grounded. The Universe is tho
expression of the thought of Christ,
for all things were made by him, and
all things hold together in him. See
John and Ephesians. So that if one
act in accord with the light of rea
son as furnished in nature and prov
idence, when he has no better, he
must act in accord with Christ and
be saved through his atonement.
No man comes to God save through
Christ the Absolute Reason, both as
to creation and redemption. And
yet, many have come to him and are
saved, let us hope, who did not
think of him as the Reason, who, in
deed, never heard of the historical
Christ, but who hated iniquity and
loved righteous, according to the
light given and opportunity afforded,
and had that spirit of faith and pur
pose of righteousness wrought in
them by the Holy Spirit, that would
have embraced the historical Christ
if be had been revealed to them.
Though tho Reason may not reveal
to the heathen a creator in the full
ness of his attributes, so that they
may be kept from worshipping God
through images ; yet the Spirit may
work that disposition in many whfch
makes them safe as far as responsi
bility and destiny are concerned.
But whether this may, or may not
be the case, we are bound to go,
preach the gospel to every creature,
because Christ commands it. And
this the “right basis of missions.
This basis puts paramount authority
in Christ, and not in our theories
and rea'sonings.
In this way M'e honor Christ, and
make personal obedience, to Christ
as Lord, our highest duty. We
preach not ourselves, but Christ Je
sus as Lord, and ourselves as your
servants for Christ,s sake.
Wellington was right and under
stood the spirit of the great commis
sion, when a minister asked a place
of him, he answered: “Look to your
marching orders, sir.” Let the ser
vants of Christ look to their march
ing orders.

GEORGIA BAPTIST'S AND CHRIS
TIAN INDEX-
AND THE RELATION THEY SUSTAIN
TO EACH OTHER.
The relation is as the Parent to
the child, and very much like the
Parent with only one child, it being
the only state or Baptist Organ rep
resenting the great Missionary Bap
tist Denomination in Ga., ever since
the split on the subject of Missions,
at which time this good old Index
was headed and supported by Mer
cer, Posy, Sherwood, Dawson, Stocks
Sanders, —and many other men of
God who left their sympathies, mon
ey, and prayers, for God’s special
blessings to rest on the Christian In
dex as a blessing under God for»
much good in the Christian world’
and for the Baptist cause in Ga-
Now let us reason together and see
if this Parent has treated this child
as a Father would his only child-
Taking the situation of things a®
they now appear, we do not think
the Baptists of Ga. have done their
full duty in supporting their own
Organ that lias so ably and faithful
ly defended the doctrine of the Mis
sionary Baptists. A shame on the De
nomination when there are over
31)0,000Baptists in Ga.,and only 6,000
to 6,000 subscribers to the Index.
Yet the Methodists not so strong in
Ga. as the Baptists, have a subscrip
tion of 11,000 to 12,000 to the
Christian Advocate tho Methodist
State Organ. The Baptists of Ga.
claim to be the strongest of any De
nomination in the State and not in
ferior to any in wealth and intellect,
and the missionary Baptists as earnest
in faith and practice as any people
on earth. Then why not show our
faith by our works in working for
the Index. Instead of spending
so much money for news papers and
other trashy literature, lot us put
more money, time aud talent to work
for the Index. We should re
member that it is a fact not to be
dismissed that the Press is the great
lever power that moves the world-
Just as in the late presidential elec
tion, public sentiment for or against
all subjects is made up from the
press politically or religiously, and
it is a fact that the reader is affected
by the literature that he reads and
so if we would be influenced by the
Index, we must lead it and put it
not only in the hands of Baptist
families but all others wno wish to
know Baptist faith and doctrines as
taught by us and that accords
with God's word as we understand
it both in the old and new Testa
ment scriptures. We believe the
Index has ever been sound and true
in Baptist faith and practice, ever
defending the faith once delivered
to the saints, aud the Baptists of Ga
ought to work for the Index and for
the cause of Christ just as a kind
Father would for his only child and
as did news paper men for their par
ties in the late election. If we wish
victory in any enterprise, we have to
work, for effort is what we need.
The money, talent and faith all be
ing right. We need not fear results
if we arc true to God and ourselves.
Then why not push the Index and
and make it double its present sub
scription in the next twelve months.
It can and ought to be done, and
then it would reflect credit on the
denomination and honor tho cause
of Christ in promoting his kingdom
on earth. What the Index needs is
more live agents, more pulpit and
church effort in all tho Baptist
churches in Ga., and wo need more
personal effort and concert of action
in this great enterprise. So let the
Ga. Baptists look more diligently af
ter their child tho Christian Index’
The Baptists of all ages and coun
tries have been tho greatest martyrs

ASKED AND ANSWERED.
BY C. E. W. DOBBS.
A man remarked in my presence
yesterday that Christianity was
fast losing its hold on men of ed
ucation, and that even the masses of
our common people were giving up
faith in Jesus. I read very little ex.
cept my Bible and the Index, and
did not know how to answer him, but
in my heart I felt sure he was mista
ken. I would like for you to give
some light on the question.
DREWRY.
The man was talking wildly.
Never since Jesus was on the earth,
have there been so many followers
enrolled under his banner, and never
has so large a proportion of Chris
tians been from the higher and in
fluential classes. Never has the min
istry of all denominations included
so large a number of consecrated ed
ucated men.
Gladstone the great, said recently
that, during his long experience of
a half century and more in public
official life, he had known only five
men who were unbelivers among all
the distinguished gentlemen who had
attained eminence in the political
service of England. An infidel
among the really great men of our
country is the exception. And as for
the masses, it may be said that the
different denominations of Christians
are building an average of four
churches for every day of the year!
Probably never was Christian faith
more active and aggressive than to
day. Just as we write our eye has
fallen on the following paragraph
from the Interior, the Presbyterian
paper, of Chicago. The figures are
well worth studying:
“The church is not going backward.
Its prosperity is measured bettor by
spiritual than material results, but it
is nevertheless interesting to know
that church property in the United
States has increased 621 per cent,
within forty years. In 1850 it
amounted to 187,000,000, in 1890 it
had reached $630,000,000. If to
this is added the immense properties
of Christian institutions, such as hos
pitals. colleges, publishing houses
and the like, some conception may be
derived of the immense intellectual
and moral force which Christianity
is exercising on the life ol our peo
ple.”
A Presbyterian friend of mine,
calls my attention to 1 Cor., 7: 14,
as a proof that children of beliving
parents were considered proper sub
jects for baptism by Paul.
6. A. D.
The passage refered to furnishes
no ground whatever for infant bap
tism. Indeed, when considered in
the light of tho circumstances under
which Paul wrote, it is clearly against
the idea that the custom was then
known. This is the opinion of all
candid and competent interpreters of
the New Testament. For example
read the following clear testimony
from tho distinguished Pedobaptist
scholar, Dr. George E. Stietz, in the
Schaff-Herzog “Encyclopedia,” ar
ticle -‘Baptism: - ’
“There is no trace of infant bap
tism in the New Testament. All at
tempts to deduce it from the words
of institution (Matt. 28:18-20) or
from such passages as 1 Cor. I: 16,
must be given up as arbitrary. Indeed
1 Cor. 7: 14 rules out decivsively all
such deductions: for, if Pcdobaptisni
were taught by Pau), he would have
linked tho salvation of the children
with their baptism, and not with the
faith of their parents.”
True, Dr. Schaff, in a supplemen
tal article, tries to evade the force or
Dr. Steitz’s admission by presenting
the usual arguments drawn from
household baptisms, from Peter’s
words on tho day of Pentecost,
from Christ’s treatment of children,
and from circumcision. Yet he can
only claim “a strong probability
that infants were baptized by the
apostles,” at the same time saying
that “it must bo admitted that adult
baptism was the rule, infant baptism
the exception, in the apostolic age,
and continued to be till the church
was fairly established in the Roman
Empire. Augustine, Gregory Naz
ianzen, and Chrysostom had Chris
tian mothers, but were not baptized
till converted.” When so able an
apologist as Dr. Schaff can only pre
sent so limping an argument, we
may as well conclude that the New
Testament furnishes him with no
better. Indeed, the Pedobaptist
commentator Lange says, “all at
temps to make out infant baptism
from the New Testament fail. It is
totally opposed to the spirit of the
apostolic age, and to the fundamen-
tai principles of the New Testament.”
Just what Paul means in 1 Cor. 7:
14, is a matter about which interpre
ters differ. Some suppose him to
mean that the children are “holy” in
the sense of being legitimate—borne
in lawful wedlock. A preferable in
terpretation is thiss The terms “holy”
and “sanctified” are used in the cere
moniZ sense common among the
Jews. Paul argues that if it is wrong
for the believing wife or husband to
dwell with an unbelieving partner
the same principle would necessitate
the casting off of their children, who
were confessedly not believers. But
said Paul, though they are unbeliev
ers, all recognize them as “holy,” or
ceremonially “clean;” none would
think of denying that; therefore you
may dwell with them. Even so the
believing wife or husband may con
scientiously cleave to the unbelieve
ing partner in marriage. The passage
is elliptical, and was easily under
stood by the Corinthians, who knew
all the circumstances. If we were
familiar with all these circumstances,
its meaning would be equally ap
parent to us. Certainly it furnishes
no support for infant baptism.
SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK-
In the beginning of the new year,
I desire to make some requests, and
to offer some suggestions to all the
friends of the Sunday School work
throughout the State.
First and foremost, I desire to say
that it is my highest ambition to see
the work prosper and progress be
yond any former year. We are now
in a better condition for a forward
movement than at any previous time.
Owing to the increased and in
creasing facilities for carrying on
the work, and to the rapidly growing
interest in its welfare on tho part of
pastor, churches and Sunday School
officers and teachers. Among the
requests that I make are the follow
ing, which I hope will receive the
prompt and cheerful attention of all
concerned.
1. That the Presidents or Secre
taries of all our Associational and
County Conventions will send me
the names and Post Offices of all their
officers and the time and place of
next meeting.
2. That the moderators and clerks
of all the associations especially, and
other brethren generally, will co-op
erate with me in securing the Sta
tistics of all our schools, even ap
proximately if not accurately. I
desire to haitil t<> Bro. McCall, Secre
tary, at the convention to meet in
Dawson, the number of schools in
every association together with the
number of officers and teachers in
the same.
3. That the clerk of every associ
ation, or any other brother, will send
me a copy of the minutes of his last
association. I will greatly appreci
ate a response to this request.
4. That, since Brother McMich
ael, the proprietor has kindly offered
the space, Sunday-sohool workers
aid me in conducting a special de
partment in the Christian Index.
The object will be to make known
our difficulties, tell our wants, and
thus gain information as to bettor
plans and methods. Let us have a
few paragraphs in the Index every
week. The same privilege will, no
doubt, be accorded by the Baptist
Watchman and Baptist Leader.
5. That every superintendent or
teacher who desires any information
connected with Sunday-school man
agement or teaching will feel perfect
ly free to write to me.
Among the suggestions are the fol
lowing: 1. That our pastors realize
how much depends on their efforts
in organizing and maintaining schools
in their churches. They are the
pastors of the Sunday schools as well
as of the churches, and their influ
ence and work should be felt in the
former as well as in the latter.
Wherejit “seems” to be impractica
ble to have a school every Sabbath,
why should not the pastor conduct
one on the day of his meeting? This
is done in a few churches in the
State, why should it not be done in
all? I ask all our pastors to consid
er this question most seriously.
2. That parents should feel that
the responsibility of a failure to have
a Sunday School, and a good Sun
day School in the church to which
they belong, rests largely upon them,
more so, perhaps, than they have
generally acknowledged or recogniz
ed. If the parents in any communi
ty determine that there shall be a
Sunday School in that community,
there will likely be one very soon.
Pastors should remember this, and
should “in season and out of season”
urge upou parents their duties in the
premises. Parents have no better
friends than a good superintendent
and teacher, and no better helper
than a good Sunday School.
8. That superintendents, officers
.and teachers will not be satisfied un
less there is a constant improvement
in management and in teaching.
Do not allow things to go on “in the
same old way.” Do not fall into
ruts and stay there. Avoid monoto
ny and dullness. Change the pro
gram,introduce new features in the
class. Above all things see to it
that the word of God is taught.
Provide yourselves with helps and
do not be content with asking a few’
questions in the quarterlies or pa
pers. The School is just what the
Superintendents and teachers make
it. Their zeal and energy will be
imparted to pastors, parents and pu
pils. Find out how the best super
intendents and teachers do, and imi
tate their methods. Determine that
there shall be improvement and ad
vancement all along the line. Pro
vide your School with an abundant
supply of Bibles and song books, and
as Brother Will Upshaw once said,
“have a plenty of pluck, persever
ance and prayer.” When the school
flags or drags, and grows dull, ask
the question, “Is it not my fault?’’
Do your best at all times, and you
may know it is not your fault. And
last, but by no means least, dont be
given to too much fault-finding.
And may the God of all grace be
with you to help you, and bless you
in your work.
Let this be your motto. “All my
School for Jesus.” “All my class
for Jesus.”

introduction.
Haggai’s career as a prophet was a
brief one. His prophecy embraced
three short addresses, all delivered
within the space of a few weeks.
Zechariah begins his work at very
nearly the same time, and his mis
sion has the same general purpose as
that of Haggai, He comes to arouse
and encourage the people in the
work of building the temple. This
he does by giving assurance that
God will fulfill his promises in the
establishment of his kingdom and
the overthrow of the hostile nations.
His teachings are given in the form
of a series of visions, nine in all.
The first vision shows God’s con
stant watchfulness over the city of
Jerusalem. The second looks out
to the springing up of power that
shall overthrow the hostile nations.
The third points to the great pros
perity of the city as it shall be re.
built. The fourth vision is taken
for our present lesson. A remarka
ble feature in all these visions is the
number of distinct references to the
coming messiah.
explanation.
Not the desolate condition of the
city, nor the hostile spirit of the
nations about them is so great a dif
ficulty to the people as their own
sinfulness. Hence their greatest
need is forgiveness, and that is shown
in this fourth vision. Joshua, the
representative of the whole people
before God, stands clothed in defile
ment, while God’s mercy graciously
forgives.
I. Accused and Vindicated vs.

Before the angel of the Lord.-
As before a judge in a court of jus

be his accuser. The word Satan
means adversary, while Devil in
the New Testament means Slanderer.
What though Satans accusation’s are
often true? Are they not meant to
destroy rather than to correct? The
Lord hath chosen Jerusalem.—
Who shall lay anything to the charge
of God's elect? It is God that justi

his forgiveness of their wrongs. Os

partial but complete, not conditional,
but absolute.

suggestions.
1. Who is our great enemy but
Satan? What step more helpful in
a conflict with him than to know his
real character and modes of assault
The names Adversary, slanderer,
mean much. His power and wisdom
are superior to man’s. And his
shrewdness and cuning, how wonder
ful. When man has stumbled or
fallen, is despondent, discouraged,
Satan is at hand to destroy. Be
ever watchful, and rejoice in him
and trust in him whose mission upon
the earth was to destroy the works
of the Devil, and who is able to de
liver all who call upon him.
2. Sin is the great curse, forgive
ness is the only remedy. Seek not
to forget or to excuse or justify it.
Come with penitence and confession
to the mercy-seat, and receive from
the blessed Savior full forgiveness
and cleansing.
3. Vague and distant were the
things promised by the prophets
Yet what joy aud strength were
imparted by the promises. Alas for
us if with the fulfillment of all things
promised, and an ever brightening
manifestation of their truth and ex
cellence, we are not very faithful in
what is committed to our hands.
Sun Hill, Ga. Oct. 22, 1892.
To the Atlantic Electro poise
Co., Atlanta, Ga.,
Gentlemen:—My health gave
way early in January 1887, and for
two years and a half I was almost an
in valid,and could not exercise any.
My whole system seemed to have
given way and when I was relieved
of one complaint another would take
its place. My worst trouble was in
digestion, dyspepsia, heart trouble
and nervous prostration; would suf
fer after eating any meal. Sometime
it looked like I would die; was
reduced from 175 pounds, and near
ly everything I would eat would
give me colic. I tried several first
class doctors and could only be
pacthed up for a while. I was nec
essitated to go to the Springs sever
al times a year, as the water would
relieve me when medicine would
not.
June the Ist of this year, I had
about given up all hopes of ever
being cured, and was arrang
ing to go to the Springs and stay,
when I was advised to try the At
lantic Electropoise. Having been
humbugged so much I was afraid to
try it, finally decided to do so.
When I received it, I still had less
confidence in it; but applied it the
first night. From the first night on
I have improved and now my health
is about restored. I have not taken
a drop of medicine since commenc
ing with the Electropoise, and can
eat anything I want and it agrees
with ine. Before commencing with
the Electropoise I had to take some
medicine every day to keep up. My
strengh is about restored and I now
perform all my work that I have not
been able to do for the past two and
a half years. Knowing all that the
Electropoise has done for me, and if
I could not get another one, money
could not buy the one I have. It
has saved me,even if it had not cured
me, $150.00 this summer in doctor
bills and expenses at the Springs.
Now to those who suffer the Elec
tropoise will cure you, if directions
are followed. I have stated my
case as near right as I can and I
want the people to know the good
that is in the Electropoise : my
neighbors know the good that it haa
done me.
Yours truly, C. D. Thigpen.
The Aryka Patiika, a native paper
published in India, has the following
paragraph about missionaries and
what they are accomplishing in
that country:
“Missionaries are sanguine of suc
cess because they have now changed
their modus operand!. They have
now turned all their efforts upon
our women and have mysteriously
succeeded in obtaining free access to
our families, where they are now do
ing the greatest mischief imaginable
Then again these Christian mission
aries have established a number of
mission schools all round the country
and have curiously succeeded in
gaining confidence and support of
the public in what they call their
noble cause. People do not even
scruple to send their girls to these
institutions, where nothing but irre
ligion is systematically taught by the
Zenana missionaries. There they
are taught to bid adieu to their fore
fathers’ religion, to follow the irre*
ligious and absurd teachings of the
Bible.”
