2 force these other great truths had given and then speedily comes the whole field of thine present trials with the joyful declar ation that the eternal grandeur of the doctrine stands over against the short-lived troubles they were undergoing and assures them that a little while would suffice to show their severely tried faith to the praise and glory and honor of Christ in his manifestation. From doctrine as the panacea of of heart ills, the writer passes with perfect ease,on to holy living as an antedote for trouble and through the entire letter he moves easily back and forth along these lines touching the heart here with a red hot coal from the eternal altar andquickning the energy yonder with a hopful ex hortation till nothing, needed, is left to comfort every heart and straight en the weakest faith. Peter with an ardent temperament and treacher ous stability had learned at immense cost how to address the Christian heart in trouble. While not a sermon nor a compila tion of sermons but a well directed letter to defenceless children of God in great need, still it is interesting to see how freely he used the Old Tes tament and promises. A good way to learn the meaning of that Epistle would be to seek out the quotations from the Old Testament and regard them as texts from which he wrote. Fearing the reader may not have time or opportunity to search out these quotations 1 will give them. They are taken from the Union Ver sion: “Ye shall be holy for lam lioly.V “Behold I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, chosen, honored, and he that believes on him shall not bo put to shame.” “The stone which the build ers disalowod the same is become tho head of the corner and a stona of stumbling and a rock of offence.” “Who committed no sin neither was guilt found in his mouth.” “By whose stripes ye were healed.” “For he who desires to love life ami to see good days let him refrain his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking guile, let him seek peace and pursue it. Because the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are toward their supplications; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” “Fear not with their fear, nor be troubled, but sanctify Christ as Lord in y/.:r hearts-” “Love covers a multitude of sins.” “(iod resists the proud but gives grace to humble.” These quotations are the pillars of of his structure, the jewelr. in his mind from which his own great, heart well taught and divinely in spired seintilates. lie writes from the heart. You see at once that ho is acquainted with the mighty prin ciples of the Gospel but Ife is con cerned in this letter with the awful throes of tho human heart in the furnace. ■ F. C. Ml ( 'oN'Nl LT,. Athens, Jan. Bth 1893. John xviii. 3G“Mp kingdom is not of this world. ’ I read the article written, before Christmas, by Bro- JI. J. Webb, criticising the action of a certain Baptist Aassoeiation for voting a resolution requesting the Legislature to pass lawj on the sub ject of prohibition ; ami I have just read a reply, in perterday’s I\m:x, by Bro. J. G. JleCaii I know bro. Wei b well, having taught him. Having read brother McCall’s article carefully 1 am sure that hi does not understand tho point made by brother Webb. The examples quoted from Armitage's History do not apply to brother Webb’s criticism. Baptist’s in all ages have held that no human authority had the right to dictate to any man what form of religion he should support. When ever therefore a government estab lished a State religion, Baptists have always entered their protest. To enter a solemn protest against government requiring Baptists to pay tribute to a state religion is per fectly consistent with their doctrine of entire separation between Church and State. Tho action of the Association, crit icised by brotheg Webb, contained none of the elements of tho protests mentioned by Dr. Armitage. That body, as a Christian body proposed to petition tho Legislature to pass a law to suppress what is considered an evil; thus acting in the capacity of a body of citizens. We can find no instance in the New Testament where Jesus or his Apostles ever petitioned any author-* ity to issue an edict against any pub lic evil. When the effort was made to involve Josus with the govern ment, bo put them to silence by say- ing’ “Render untoCeasar the things that are Ceasar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.” “My King dom is not of this world. A church and Association of, churches are spiritual not political bodies. It is their province to dis cuss spiritual matters, or, temporal duties growing out of their Spiritual obligations. The discussion of poli tics, or questions which involve pol itics is barred by the teaching and example of Jesus and his apostles. If every member of tho Associa tion, criticised by brother Webb, had immediately after adjournment, gone into a town meeting of citizens, and voted for the resolutions requesting the Legislature to pass laws in favor of prohibition, it would have been very proper. But never, no never mix politics with the business of a Baptist Association or Baptist Con vention. Let Christ’s kingdom and the kingdom of this world ever be kept separate. Williams Rutherford. AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE. Probably there has been no more important meeting of Baptist Educa tors, in many years than that w hich was held at the Rooms of the The American Baptist Home Mission So ciety In New York City, Dec. 28th 1892. It was a notable gathering as respects tho men who were pres ent, the subject under discussion, and because it was the first confer ence ever held by representatives of our Theological Seminaries. The Faculties of our six Institutions had appointed delegates to the meeting; Newton: Drs. Hovey and English, though Dr.Bullen came in place of Dr. Hovey who was detained by illness; Rochester: Drs. Strong and Patti son, tho hitter detained by his wife’s sickness; Hamilton: Dr. Burnham and Prof. Schmidt; Crozer: Dr. Johnson, who however was obliged to go to Florida, and Dr. Long who was not present; Louisville sent Dr Broadus ; and Chicago, Drs. Harper and Hulbert. Dr Pepper of Maipe, Secretary Gates and Dr. Mac Vicar of New York were present part of the time, and Secretary Morehouse throughout the sessions. Dr. Strong was chosen President and Dr. Bul len Secretary of the Conference. Tho circumstances which led to this meeting, in brief wore as fol lows: Last May, in an address be fore the Alumni of the Rochester T’heological Seminary, Dr. More house suggested that our Theologi cal Seminaries, through united offer . extend their work, by ma king special provision in tho way of courses of reading and study and holding summer schools, for the four fifths of the Baptist ministry who have never enjoyed the advantages of a thorough collegiate and semina ry training. This suggestion awak ened much interest which became wide spread by the publication of the address. This was followed by further and more detailed sugges tions concerning a plan of Theologi cal Seminary work for Pastors which was printed and submitted to the Faculties of our Seminaries and to a few others. A general desire was expressed for a conference on the subject; hence ; the meeting in December. This conference, after two long, earnest and most harmonious ses sions, decided that united or federa ted action by all our Theological i Seminaries is desirable, indeed is es ■ sential to tho accomplishment of ! the best and largest results in a matter of such moment and magni tude. It was also decided that a uniform, systematic and progressive course of reading and study covering a series of years, with a summer school of a bout three weeks at each of the in stitutions, for those who have en tered the ministry without proper preparation and for others in the ministry who wish to avail them selves of these privileges, is desira ble. The use of the Seminary libra ries and special lectures will consti tute additional attractions. In ease the experiment succeeds at these points, other summer schools will be established at places remote from the Institutions. The feasibility as well as the desi rability of the scheme was consider ed at length. It was clearly recog. niz.ed that there might bo some dis. ticulty in securing the services of Professors during their vacation, al so in inducing those who most need it to avail themselves of tho benefit of the plan, and also in getting the necessary means for tho expenses connected therewith. But believing that “where there’s a will there’s a way,” the Conference appointed an Executive Committee consisting of THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY JANUARY 19,1893. the Presidents of our six Theologic al Schools, viz., Drs. Hovey, Strong, Weston, Clarke, Broadus, and Hul bert, with Dr. Morehouse as Chair man, to mature a plan, submit it to the several Faculties and thereafter to another meeting of the Conference which adjourned subject to the call of the Committee. It was also voted to request the American Baptist Education Society to consider whether its efficient aid cannot be given to the promotion of this plan. All present were highly gratfied with the spirit and results of the Conference. There can be no doubt that the men in our Theological watch towers are studying tho signs of the times, are disposed to adapt those methods and to extend their helpful influence for the benefit of thousands in our ministry who have never come under their immediate instruction, if only a thoroughly feasible plan of doing this can be de vised. The Committee appointed by the Conference will welcome suggestions from any quarter. It will now be in order to bear from the denomination at large. CHURCH DISCIPLINE. BY F. M. LAW. Webster defines: “The enforce ment of methods of correction against one guilty of ecclesiastical offences; reformatory or penal action toward a church member.” Not a bad defi nition, especially as our fathers un derstood the matter. This is « hacknied subject and it is probable most readers on seeing the caption will pass to something else. And yet it is a subject worthy of ser ious consideration.llasjthere not been a retro-grade as to dealing with mem bers of the church within the last thirty to fifty years? If so, what is the matter, were the churches too rigid then? Or are they too lax now? 1 remember, when a boy, it was expected that all the members would be at the church meeting, ami if one was absent he was expected to give his excuse at the next meeting j and if absent from two consecutive conferences without a known good reason he was specially inquired af ter. Wo are told to, “Forsake not the assembling yourselves together.” Now, members may violate this di vine rule for a whole year, and little or no attention is given to their ne glect. It used to be that the “Fel lowship of the Church” was called for, and breaks in fellowship receiv ed prompt attention. Now it is known that members of the same church go for months, and some times longer, without speaking to each other, and no notice taken of it by tho church. The teachings of the Saviour are very explicit against this condition of things, and yet his instructions are ignored. Drunken ness, fighting, etc., received prompt attention and acknowledgments re quired, or cxpulsoins took place. Os late years such cases pass unno ticed. Members are spoken of as gambling without being disciplined by the church. It is not a rare thing for church members to be charged before the courts with these things, tried, found guilty and fined, and yet not brought before the church. Church members were not expected to patronize the theater and ball room, but now, in many places, in this regard, there is little or no dif ference between the church ami the world. Why all this change? Is it an incident of greater intelligence and a higher civilization? Some would have us believe this. I can not accept this as true. But sup pose rather that Baptists have been led to follow’ the example of others, and generally of organizations which do not require a converted member ship, and even make light of such thing. Baptists should be consis tent. They properly require a con verted membership and should show a converted life. Not to do this is shameful pretense. What is said above about tho loosenesss in the churches do not apply to all, but but there is reason to believe such a state of things does exist in many of our churches, especially in our towns and cities. Some of the most prominent churches are in the condition des cribed, and the matter of discipline is neglected. Will our churches al low such a state of things to contin ue? Will the pastors? The writer is not unaware of tho difficulties of exorcising church discipline, and yet it should be done. Our churches will become corrupt, increasingly so, without it, and cease to be a moral power in the land. If no other remedy be found it may become necessary for the dis trict associations to take cognizance of these things. They are bodies of discipline, as well as of work. The evil should be remedied in some way.’ Let proper efforts be made to keep the church pure. Cultivation and trimming are vitally necessa ry- I refer to immorality in the town and city churches, because it is be lieved that it is more tolerated there than, in the country churches. The temptations are greater, and while there are many in the city who deplore the state of things, there is a larger proportion,doubtless, who entertain a spirit of toleration. My observation as to discipline in tho churches has not been very extensive and the looseness mentioned may not be widespread. But my impression is that it prevails generally to an ex tent requiring prayerful attention and action on the part of the churches. Bryan, Texas. ASKED AND ANSWERED. BY C. E. W. DOBBS. What is the meaning of the word •‘generation” as used by Jesus in Matt. 24: 34? j. ii. c. There is no good reason to seek any other than the usual meaning of the word. Jesus frequently used it. See Matt. 11:16; 12:39, 41/45; Luke 11 :29, 32; 17:25, and elsewhere l He meant the people then living on the earth. Some of that generation should live to see the fulfillment of all his predictions concerning the destruction of Jerusalem, which event occurred about forty years after ho uttered the prophecy. 1. Are theatres wrong in princi ple? If so, why? 2. Certain “straightlaced” breth ren object to harmless amateur the atricals on the ground that theater going is wrong. Are they extremists? 8. Is it wrong to run a livery stable on Sunday ? m. 1. This question we discussed quite recently in our editorial col umns, and wo cannot now give space to a full answer. We believe the aters aro wrong in fact, whatever they may be in “principle.” Cer tainly the calm judgement of all reformed actors and actresses con demns the stage. In our editorial discussion we adduced the testimony to this effect of such eminent persons as Rev. Dr. Lorimer, Mrs. Anna Cora Mowatt, the tragedian Mc- ijnd others- They an in the opinion that theaters .are immoral and evil in their intiuence on both actors and attendants. 2. Probably the “straightlaced’’ brethren conscientiously object be cause they see evil growing out of the things they condemn. Certainly they aro entitled to the respectful regard of the younger people, whose experience does not so well qualify them to judge of such matters. It is not an easy thing to draw the line between harmful and “harmless amateur theatricals.” It is so easy to glide into the former from the latter, just as they who play cards “only for amusement in’the parlor” have only a step or two to take to laud them in tho gambler's den. Better avoid all questionable things of the kind. 3. That depends. There are some things that a livery stable may and must do on Sunday. Il must at least see that all its boarding horses are eared for on that day, and it must meet such demands as funerals, and other necessary matters, make upon it. We think though that a Christian man should close his sta ble on the Lord’s-day to such busi ness as ministers only to godless dissipation. While this department of the In di:x is not intended as a forum of a controversy, we cheerfully give space to the following word from our good brother P. F. C. We do not intend to discuss the question at all, yet we suggest that “Regular Baptists” arc by no means a unit in their action as to the treatment of such offenders as our brother refers to. It is doubtful, for example, whether any “Regular Baptist” church in America would have “ex-' eluded” Mr. Spurgeon from its fel low ship: Dkar Bro. Domis: I am not quite satisfied with your answer to C. M. C'» question in the Index of Dec. 15th concerning the Freewill brother. A “good reason for requi ring the brother to be rebaptized’’ is found in the following. Regular Baptists can not recognize as valid any work done by persons who stand excluded from their fellowship, such work being without authority and ir regular. Freewill Baptists stand exclu ded from the fellowship of consist ent Baptist churches and of course their work including baptism must be considered irregular and without authority and can not be recognized as valid. If Freewill Baptists are not excluded from our fellowship then we are guilty of the inconsist ency of holding in fellowship per sons of another Denomination who are constantly practicing that for which we would exclude one of our own members, “open communion”. There may be many churches at the North who would be guilty of such inconsistency but let us hope they are few in the South. But if they should, it would not make it right. p. f. c. Several Issues back you speak of a limited atonement. Is there real « ly such a thing? From the nature of the question is it not true that the sacrifice, required to atone for the least sin, (if any sin can be so desig nated,) by logical necessity, atones for the greatest sin? We speak now of sin generally, as being an infrac tion of the law. Nothing short of an infinite sacrifice would, or noth ing greater could be demanded in either event. Therefore when you apeak of limited atonement you mean do you’not, that it is accepted by a limited number, called in the scriptures the Elect? j. s.F. The phrase “limited atonement” is a well defined theological one. It moans that view of atonement which is thus expressed by Dj. Dagg: “The son of God gave his life to re deem those who were given to him by the Father in tho covenant of grace.” This is is called “particular redemption.” Since salvation will not be universal, Dr. Dagg argues that “redemption cannot have been universal in its purpose; otherwise will fail to be accomplished, and all, for which the work of re demption was undertaken, will not be effected.” “In Paul’s view all all those for whom Christ’s death made reconciliation [atonement], will certainly be saved.” This is what is theologically known as the doctrine of “limited atonement..’’ In our answers we have simply sta ted, we have not defended it. An drew Fuller’s able discustion of this entire question is about the most sat isfactory we have ever read. He led the English Baptists out of the stricter Calvinian system of Gill and others, into what, has been termed “modern Calvnism.” We repeat the phrase notwithstanding a venerable brother writes us that “Dr. Mell used to smile when he heard the expres sion used.” Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deaf nes, and that is by constitutional re medies. Deafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lin ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube inflamed you have a rum bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closeed,Deaf ness is the result, and unless the in tlainmation can be taken out and this tube is restored to its normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed for ever ; nine cases out of ten are caus ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucons surfaces.

Scripture Lessen. — Zech. 4:1-10. Motto Text : —Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Ldrd of hosts, vs. 6. introduction. The returned exiles were discour aged. Well might they be so as. their condition is viewed from a hu man standpoint. They were very weak as to numbers and resources, their enemies were strong and bitter, and the work before them involved great difficulties. The prophet’s special mission is to replace this discouragement with new hope and zeal. Well might he falter but that the Lord is working and speaking in and through him. In his fifth vision, our present les son, he points a source of strength set over against their weakness. Had their condition been many times worse, the lesson now presented, if learned aright, ought to, inspire the loftiest courage and hope. “Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.” explanation. I. The Vision, vs. 1-3. Waked me.—He was in some special sense aroused, prepared for the reception of a divine message by the quickening of his perception and understanding. Candlestick.—Or lampstand, after the manner of the one in the first temple. Bowl.—a central source of supply for all the lamps, differing in this feature from the candlestick of the first temple. Seven pipes. The number seven is usually regarded as the symbol of completeness or perfection. It is of the utmost importance in the study of this vision to avoid try ing to find a special significance in every detail. There are two princi pal thoughts, (a) the lamp in its general structure and design, and (b) the source or supply of power by which it is enabled to shine. The lamp is made to shine. Apart from any details of this vision we know that to fulfill its purpose the lamp must be constructed of proper mate rials and upon proper principles. But though a lamp be made of gold, and fashioned by skillful artist, it bws no light-giving power of itself. So oil must be provided and proper channels of communication devised. Until this is done the lamp is useless for lighting purpose?. So that which is necessary to it in the fulfillment of its mission is a proper supply of oil. This supply must be not sim ply a reservoir, but a fountain. It must be constant, unfailing, living, as is aptly illustrated by the olive tree. To give special significance to the number of olive trees as being two instead of one or three or four involves more difficulties in the inter pretation than can be got rid of. So it is not only wise, but absolutely necessary according to right princi ples of interpretation, to disregard the details, and grasp the main thought of the writer. 11. The Vision Interpreted and Applied, vs. 4-10. The angel upon request interprets the vision, and his explanation is in accord with the principle above pre sented. As unto the lamp so power less of itself to shine oil is furnished by the] olive tree, so unto the Jews so weak and defenseless shall the Spirit of the Lord be given to make them sufficient for the work to bo done. In the Lord shall be their trust and their help more than in all I the powers of man. Before the I power of this Spirit the mountains shall vanish and become less than a mole-hill. The temple shall be com pleted despite the greatness of the obstacles. The placing of the head stone shall mark its completion. The vision then unfolds its greater fulness of promise by showing that ' the work shall be finished, nbt at some far distant time, but by the hands of him who began it. To Zerubbabcl shall come the joy of seeing the completed house. Against the day of small things, the day of weakness and want and gloom, shall bo set a day of success and rejoicing. God in his providence, as symbolized by the seven eyes, shall watch over all with tender care, and assure the fulfillment of tho words which aro his own, now spoken by the prophet. Suggestions. 1. The mission of tho lamp is to shine. It has no other. The church is to be a light to the world. (Rev. 1:20; Matt. 5:14-10). But it is by a light not its own. Its power and influence must be communicated from above. The only proper end a Christian can have in the world is to let his light shine that God may be glorified. 2. The Holy Spirit is the source of all light and strength and joy to the church and to the individual Christian. His help is to be suffi cient unto our need, is given without measure. The promise is that our Father is more willing to give his Holy Spirit unto us than earthly parents are to give good gifts unto their children. See Luke 11:5-13. Our need to-day is not for greater numbers, or finer churches, or mWre eloquence or means of any descrip tion. What we need is a gracious outpouring of God’s Spirit upon us. As we depend upon him and pray for him he will come. O for the power of God’s Spirit upon his peo ple EVERYWHERE. CURED M About seven or eight months ago I was attacked by a cough, and at once began to take a medicine much adver tised as an expectorant, and continued using it until I had taken about Six bot tles. Instead of giving me relief, it only made me worse. I tried several other remedies, bu| all in zain, and I don’t think I had three whole nights’ rest during my illness. I begun to think that Consumption had laid hold of me, and my hopes of recovery were all gone. I was & nacre skeleton, but a friend of mine, who had been some time away, called to see me.
