MISS MARY E, WRIGHT, : : Editress
M e have just received in our mis
sionary society our Calendar of
Prayer by our State Vice President,
Miss Mary Wright of Augusta, Ga.
Great advantages will.be enjoyed
by the daily use of this calendar.
It will stimulate our prayers for
the success of the Kingdom of our
precious Redeemer;.it will introduce
us to each missionary; it will ac
quaint us with the various fields, and
awaken a deeper sympathy in the
personal welfare of the laborers.
All these advantages will increase
our spirituality and usefulness at
home.
An additional incentive to aid in
the circulation of the Calendar is
found in the fact that every dollar
paid for it is so much contributed to
the cause of missions, save what is
necessary to cover actual expense of
printing and distributing.
May we not hope that all our socie
ties throughout the state will inter
est their members in the use of these
helpful suggestions and send in their
orders to Miss Wright at once.
R.‘ M. Seymour.
Macon, Ga., Jan. 2, 1892.
Dear Friends:—l find myself
wondering how many of our socie
ties in the state observed the first
week in January as a week, of pray
er and I am going to make a very
earnest request that every society
observing that week will send me
a short account of their meetings for
The Index. lam sure we would
all find it interesting to know where
and how the week was observed and
perhaps the account would stimulate
others to its observance another
year.
In Augusta' we had very pleasant
and profitable meetings taking for
our subjects the themes on the Mis
sionary Calender of Prayer as sug
gested by Mrs. Wilson. On Mon
day our leader took Sundays topic
“the coming of the kingdom,” and
the meeting was pervaded by an
earnest 'thoughtful spirit. To that
meeting was brought the tidings of
the sudden death of our beloved
friend, Dr. John L. Burrows, an<Jwo
talked of his longing for Christ’s
coming for him and of his readiness
for the home coming and in every
heart was born a hew and deeper
longing to be ready with some gath
ered sheaf whether he shall come to
us one by one, or come to His wait
ing church “to take unto Him His
great power and reign.” Tuesday
afternoon our service was omitted
that wo might pay the last trib
ute of respect to our pastors
father and our .loving friend.
On Wednesday a very earnest meet
ing was held to pray for the mission
aries who will, go out this year, but
we did not forget our frontier mis
sionaries and plans were made to
help with another box. On Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday the meet
ings were equally interesting, per
haps Saturday’s subject touched all
hearts most deeply for surely at the
beginning of another year of living
for and loving Christ we need con
secration of soul, body and spirit.
As a result of those meetings it
was determined to hold weekly pray
er meetings on Saturday afternoon
•which we feel sure will be a help
and blessing;
On Christmas Sunday our Sun
day-school held a missionary service,
using the program and envelopes
provided by the .Missionary Union.
The children were deeply interested
in the success of the service and
their faithfulness was rewarded. The
visits of our brethren Powell and
Cova, and of Mrs. Brunson and Mrs.
Pruitt have greatly increased
the interest among the chil
dren and they seem inclined to go
forward with more zeal than ever
before. Our collection amounted
to 825.50 and we rejoiced as wo

ITO-MORBOW.
The robin chants when the thrush is dumb,
Snow smooths a bed for clover,
Life flames anew, and days to come
Are sweet as the days that are over-
The tide that ebbs by the moon flows back,
Faith builds on theruins of sorrow,
The halcyon flutters in winter’s track,
And night makesway for the morrow.
And ever a strain, of joys the sum,
Sings on in the heart of the lover
in death sings on—that days to come
Are sweat as the (lavs that are over!

FOR THE GOOD OF OUR CHILDREN.
The financial condition of the
country during the last two years
has been accompanied by great di s
tress among the southern people.
Whatever may be said of Other lands
and sections, we of the South have
been much embarrassed. Some of
our citizens, however, have felt not
the least inconvenience on account of
the prevailing stringency. These are
persons who have shunned the habits
that tend to want and cultivated
such as have the promise of abun
dance.
The best informed of our people
unite with tourists from all parts of
the world in expatiating on the pro
ductive capacities of our soil and cli
mate. All agree in predicting that
affluence awaits the future possessors
of these natural advantages. If
these things are so, ought not the
present proprietors to give their
children a training that will enable
them .to live here, not necessarily in
affluence, but in secure, comfortable
independence. Moreover, after the
pastors of our churches have set the
cardinal doctrines of the Bible fully
before their hearers, would it not be
expedient to preach a sermon once
in a while on parental responsibili
ties, and insist among other things
that parents should' so bring up their
children as to fit them for living in
this country without stinting them
selves or going into debt? Would
not an occasional sermon to the
young people on the vices that'ruin
the present life and virtues that make
it prosperous and honorable be a very
proper thing to come even from the
most spiritual pulpit in the world?
Would not right now, at the open
ing of the year, and on the eve, we
trust, of a re-action from the long
continued depression in business af
fairs, be a fine time for the pastors
to deliver one or more discourses of
this kind? The Bible abounds with
texts to the point.

QUEER NOTIONS ABOUT SNAKES
The African cobra is regarded some
what reverently by the natives of that
country ,who,oncesa year, kill a cor
bra de capello and hang its skin to a
a tree, tail downward. Then all the
children born during the past
year are brought out and made to
touch the skin- This, their parents
think, puts them under the serpent’s
protection. The cobra de capello
divides with the horned viper of
Africa the questionable honor of
being the “Worm of Nile,”to whose
venomous tooth Cleopatra’s death
was due.
The Kaffirs use the venom of this
snake’s cousin, the puff-adder, to
poison their arrows; and when they
have any small quantity left, they
swallow it having a theory that it
will protect them from the bad effect
of future bites.
The Snake Tribe of the Pun jab
say that the bites of snajees do not
hurt them; and if they find a dead
serpent, the dress it in clothes, and
give it a superb funeral.
Some one has discovered that the
leaves of a bitter aromatic plant Ari
itolochia Indica,if bruised into a pulp,
mixed with a little water, and swal
lowed will often cure the bite of the
of the Indian cobra. It has been
known to cure even when then the

viqtim showed no sign of life save
warmth of the body; but the most
general remedy is the snake stone.
Professor Faraday has found this to
be made of charred bone. It
is applied to a bite; and when it
drops off of its own accord, the pa
tient is said to be out of danger.
These stones arealso used in Mexico
Our own North American Indians
will notkill a snake in their path. The
hold it in reference; and although
they select great numbers of them
to use in their snake dances, they
never kill them, but, when the cere
mony is finished] take them out on
the plains and release them. Some

AIM HIGH.
Boys and girls, aim high. Do not
say, “I will be pretty good, ” but en
deavor to be perfect.
A great artist was once h ightly
praised for a beautiful painting
which he had just completed. “It
may be very beautiful, but I aimed
at perfection.”
I once put the following question to
a ragged newsboy: “What are you
going to be when you are a man?”
The little fellow met my half
quizzical glance with a look of de
termination in his bright eyes; then
he replied, “President of the United
States, sir.” That lad may not be
come President, but he will not re
main a newsboy.
George Eliot, in writing the last
words of one her most p owerful
novels, exclaims,“lt is so much less
than what I hoped for I am dissatis
fied.”
Bear this in mind: “if we aim at
the ground we shall never redch the
sky.” |

THE IRON BOOT.
A little boy had something wrong
with his foot. It was a kind of a
disease which his friends knew might
perhaps end in his being lame for
life. The only remedy was a rather
painful one. It was to wear a spec
ial sort of boot, not made of soft
leather, but of iron, which should
hold the foot tight in a certain posi
tion.
Oh,how the poor little fellow cried
when it was put on. It felt so stiff,and
heavy, and uncomfortable. The hoot
was to be worn a whole year. Many
and many a time the boy would
hobble along, and go up to his moth
er and plead to have it taken oft,but
she wouldalways say, “I know it is
very hard to bear, dear, bnt yon
know it is far better to have this
than to be lame for life.” So the
boot was kept on, and when it was
taken off at last, the disease was
xuite gone.
Often and often, when the weakly
little lad grown up a strong, big fol
low, he would say, “Oh, mother, I’m
so glad you didn’t give in to me
when I asked you to take off my
boot, though it did hurt so.
Sometimes our Heavenly Father
sends us some trouble which, like
the iron boot, is very hard to bear
and we pray him to take it away.
But often he says, “Bear it a little
longer, and afterwards you will see
it has done you such great good.”
THE MOST NEEDED MAN;
The man most needed to-day is
not the millionaire, the inventor, the
orator, the statesman, or the poet;
but the ideal man—the man who is
nearest to him who was the model
of all moral and manly beauty
whose presence was a benediction,
whose words wore pearls of wisdom
whose deeds w ere untainted by self
ism, whose manners were affable
and courteour whose gentle
ness caused him to call his be
trayers “friend,” whose benevolent
love caused him to lay down his
life to save his foes and who asked
no return for all he was and did but
a love responsive to his own. The
man who come nearest who
come nearest to this ideal man,
the divine Redeemer, is the man
most needed in this bustling, restless
unbelieving, self-seeking age. Such
man, be he rich or poor, learned or
untitled, ennobles humanity, lifts his
follows up from degrading vices,
makes the world purer and happier
and holds high rank among the
benefactors of his race and the
friends of God. Therefore, the ago

WHAT WE ALL THINK.
If none were’Blck and none were sad,
What service could we render?
I think if we were always glad
We sea rely could he tender.
Did our beloved never need
Our patient ministration,
Earth would grow cold and miss indeed
Its sweejest consolaiion.
If sorrow never claimed our heart,
And every wish were granted,
Patience would die ami hope depart——*
Life would be disenchanted.
THE ETIQUETTL OF CHURCH
WEDDINGS
CORRECT DEPORTMENT FOR BOTH THE
BRIDE AND GROOM.
Almost every day come in our
mail inquiries relative to the eti
quette of weddings. Possibly the
general ignorance on tbis«point comes
from the fact that it is the first of
fense of the writer, therefore he or
she cannot be expected to bo quite
au fait in a matter which it takes
time to become accustomed to.
In answer to the many anxious
ones wo will say that if the wedding
takes place in the morning, the groom
does not wear a dress coat. He
wears a formal morning suit, and
wears gloves or not, as he chooses.
A best man is usually chosen, he be
ing the groom’s brother or most ini
mate friend. It is his duty to fol
low the husband to the altar, stand
ing at his right hand, a little behind
him, and - holding his hat during the
service. The best man pays the
clergyman’s fee and returns to the
house either by himself or with the
maid of honor.
The bridegroom, if he so pleases,
may present the bridesmaids with
some, pretty souvenir of the occasion,
such as a fan, bracelet .or locket. He
pays for the wedding ring and the
bride’s bouquet. Cards and carriages,
as well as the wedding feast, are
furnished by the bride’s parents.
The bride drives to the church with
her father, who gives her away.
Her mother, and relrdiyes who have
preceded her, sit ir v T front pews.
Her bridesmaids await her in the
chancel of the church.
The bridal procession is gencraly
formed of the ushers walking two
and two, then the bridesmaids, and
last the bride on her father’s arm.
Sometimes a maid of honor walks
with or just before the bride, in
which case the father forms no part
of the cortege. On reaching the al
tar the ushers and bridesmaids sep
arate to right and left, leaving a space
for the bridal pair. The bridegroom
advances and takes bis bride by the
right hand and the clergyman pro
ceeds with the ceremony.
Husband and wife walk down the
aisle together, the others following.
brides removed the whole
glove. Now the finger of the left
hand one is adroitly cut so that the
ring can be easily adjusted without
removing, the entire glove.
All brides should write a personal
note of thanks for each gift whether
it be large or small.' After an hour
and a half with her guests the bride
retires to don her traveling gown,
usually accompanied by her most
intimate friends. When she returns
she is met at the foot of the stairs by
the groom, who has also changed his
costume, and the good-byes are said,
the rice ami satin slippers thrown,
and it is all oVer.
Wedding cake is no longer sent a
bout, but neatly packed in boxes and
placed where guests can take it on
leaving the bouse. Such is the eti
quette o( a church wedding, the re
freshments served being either elabo
rate or simple, as the hostess choos
es. The bride is no longer kissed by
every body, only the very intimate,
friends being allowed that privilege.
If we have omited any point that
has proved a vexing one to expec
ant bridal pairs, pray pardon the
omission and lot us know wherein
we have failed, and once again the
pen will be taken up on so impor
tant a subject. , .

Tom and Robert wore walking
through the woods; they came to a
stream of water; both stopped, delib
erating what was best to be done.
“I am going to leap it,” said Tom.
“I am going to work my way over
stdne by stone,” said the more prud
ent Robert.
Tom leaped, and missing Lis foot-
steps, fell into the middle of the
stream, whilst Robert, working his
way carefully from one stone to an.
other, landed safe and dry on the
other stde.
Boys, learn the lesson while yet
young; the shortest way often uppers
the longest; do not try to.leap across
the stream of difficulties that separ
ates you from the shore of success.
Perseverance, diligence and deter
mination, are all stones cast across
the stream of life—a leap will bring
you down among them wounded and
bruised; but conquer them stone by
stone, and ultimately you will win
the other shore—the coveted land of
success. Remember, boys, do not
leap, but work your way across the
stream stone by stone.
THE POWER OF A SONG-
It was Saturday evening, and
Brown’s saloon was closely filled
with a noisy throng of boys and men.
Suddenly above the din, a sweet,
childish voice arose in song, and
through the thin partition came the'
words:— • .
Take the name of Jesus with you,
Child of sorrow and of woe; ■
It will joy and comfort give you;
Take it then where’er you go.
“ That’s my little daughter, Bes
sie, singing,” explained the proprie
tor. “I don’t take stock in such
songs, but she has a praying moth-,
er.”
“Better hush her up, Brown ; she
will hurt your business,” whispered
a wily-faced man.
There was a momentary hush, and
again the child’s voice took up the
refrain:—
Take the name of Jesus with you.
As a shield from every snare;
If temptations round you gather,
Breathe that holy name in prayer.
A young man standing-near the
bar resolutely sot down his glass and
left the room.
“What is the matter, Will?” ques
tioned'a companion, who followed
him out.
“Matter enough,” he bluntly an
swered. “I have a mother who has
been all her life praying for me, and
I had forgotten all her early instruc
tion till a moment ago, when that
song recalled it all.”
“Yet there is hope still, if the song
be true. I had a praying mother
myself, and God knows I loved her,
though I never sought to follow her
example.”
The two young men paused just
outside the saloon door, and gazed
at each other in blank despair.
“What is there in the name of Je
sus to save ?”
As if in answer to the question,
the childish voice reached them a
gain
Oh f the precious name of Jesus,
How it liilis our soul withioy.
While his loving arms receive us,
Afid His songs our tongues employ.
The young men started silently
down the square together.
“There might be hope for me still,
if I could only give up drink habit,’’
said Will, as he clutched his hands
“Yet the song says His namo is a
shield from every snare. O, Will!
if that be really true, as I believe it
is, we need not despair. My mother
used to read about a dying thief
who was saved upon the cross, and
we haven’t got that low yet. Come
to my room ; there is a Bible in my
trunk that mother gave me; we will
see for ourselves what it has to say.’’'
“Who over will, let him come.’’
“Ho, every one that thirsteth, come.’!
“I came not to call the righteous,
but sinners to repentance.” The
young men continued to read with
hearts full •of hope and courage
•‘Though your sins be as scarlet.”
‘That must mean me,” sobbed Will.
“But read on, Will. He says, ‘I
will make them white as snow.’ Oh!
the beauty of such religion, which
has power to blot out past iniquity,
and preserve us from future evil.”
Little Bessie, the saloon-keeper’s
daughter, never knew the influence
exerted by her song, but Will and
his young comrade, as they daily
passed by the atti active room where
choice liquors were displayed, never
did so without thanking God tha
the proprietor had a praying wife
who had early in life instructed her
daughter.
FURNACE AND STOVE DUST’
One little matter which few peo
ple think about will keep half the
dust out of rooms that now gathers,
and that is to shut the register and
open the pipe draught whenever the
ashes arc being shaken down or tak
en up. The same care should bo
used with a stove, and the ashes
gently sprinkled with a whisk as
each shovelful is put in the receiver.
Also the register should be lifted,'
and the pipe wiped free of all dust
in reach at every sweeping.
The quanity that gathers in the
bend of the flue weekly, accounts for
the complaint of furnaces making so
much dust over the house. A damp
cloth and a long arm will bring it up>
and when the register is wiped clean
a perceptible improvement will be felt
in the smell and quality of the air.
ARTISTIC AS WELL AS USEFUL
The round topped trunk has gone
out of fashon, for the reason,. the
manufacturer tells us, that the trunk
has so often to be part of the furni
ture of the room. The flat-topped
• trunk may have an expensive or rich
cover laid over the top, with a cush
ion beneath, and made an ornamen
tal if somewhat elevated seat. The
front and sides of the trunk may be
hidden by a valance attached to the
cushion- It not desired for a seat, a
trunk that is not too large may be
made to look like the treasure chest
of a prinefe, by fitting to it a covering
of dark velvet, ornamented with
bands of light colored leather/ ap
plied with gold, copper and silver
threads.
HARD TO BELIEVE.
It is not altogether pleasant to
know that excellence of flavor in but
ter or cheese depends wholly upon
the pure culture of the proper bac
teria. It has always been pleasanter
to think that good butter depended
upon sweet grass and clover for its
delicious fragrance and flavor. Alas!
no, it depends only upon microscopic
vegetable organisms called bacteria,
second cousins to the cholera germ.
It has.been calculated that a quart
of milk will sometimes contain as
many as a thousand millions of them.
HINT FORtHEBATH.
Put a cup of sea salt, a half-ounce
of camphor, a half-ounce of ammonia
in a quart bottle; fill the bottle with
hotwater and let it standtwenty-four
hours; then, when prepared to bathe
with a sponge, put a teaspoonful of
this,mixture, well shaken, into your
basin. The ammonia cleanses, and
the camphor and tlfe sea salt impart
a beneficial effect -which cannot be
exaggerated.
HOUSEHOLD NOTES.
According to the Medical Recorder
castor oil has not failed in any case to
remove warts to which it was applied
once a day for two to six weeks.
A use for common salt recently given
is to rub it into the roots of the hair, to
remove dandruff. Rub it lightly at
night, not using a great quantity; in the
morning it is all gone, only leaving a
slight dampness.
A piece of chamois skin bound on the
edges, shaped to fit the heel and kept in
place by a piece of elastic rubber worn
over the stockings, will save much
mending.
A nice way to keep wax for the work
basket is to fill half shells of English
Walnuts with melted wax, fastening the
two half shells closely together at one
end. There will then boa small space
at the other end, through which the
thread will slip when the wax is being
used.
Some housekeepers serve lemon with
mutton, but most people prefer a com.
bination of tart and sweet, as in mint
sauce or fruit jellies.
Half tbo battle in washing dishes is
keepnig the dish cloths and towells
clean. Washing out once a week in anr
nionia water, should never be neglected.
Never allow meat to be placed di
rectly on the ice, as water draws out the
juices; it is even worse to lay it there
wrapped in paper. It should always bo
laid in a cool porcelain vessel.
The Western Recorder of January sth
1893, contains answers to the following,
question from a number of prominent
Baptists.
“What are the proper relations be
tween Baptist papers and our Mission
Boards, and other authorized represen
tatives of denominational work'?”
The almost universal opinion express
ed is that Baptist papers are the means
of communication between the churches
and their authorized agencies’ and that
whether such papers are owned by indi
viduals as private property or not, if
they claim to bo the organs of the de
nomination, and receive their support
through its patronage, their columns
should be open and free to the author
ized agencies for the advancement of
the wo.tk committed to them.
The following endorsement of a recent
utterance found in a message of Gov
ernor Northern to the last General As
sembly of Georgia, is from the Qentral
Baptist, St. Louis, Mo.
The Index adds Its cordial approval.
Georgia’s Governor is not only a wise
ruler so fur as the administration of ex
isting laws are concerned, but he Is
watchful, ami firm hi putting a check
upon hasty, useless, or crude legislation
“ All honor to Gov. Northcn,,lhu Chris-
tian and Baptist governor of Georgia
who recently said: “No stato or nation
can live long In power and influence
after it forgets God and abandons righ
teousness. You should not pass any
law to which the seal of the Groat Ruler
of the universe cannot be affixed.”—

than cod-liver oil. It is rest

and, at the same time, sup

nourishment it can get in no
