Though the following is not strict
ly matter for our Georgia Baptist
News page, it pertains only to the
Index and our own people, and
hence we reproduce it, and raise our
hat at the same to our worthy con
temporary—the Herald:
i The Christian Index, of Atlanta
Ga., thinks that ‘-February is one of
the best months in the year for
newspaper circulation,” and hence it
“Begs every Baptist pastor and work
ing layman and consecrated sister of
the Daplist denomination in Georgia
to make some special effort to in
crease the circulation of the Chris
tian Index during that month.”
The Index, now in its seventy-first
year, during all its long career has
held anhonorable place iu Baptist af
fairs. In the list of its editors and
chief contributors during its three
score and ten years, are names which
Baptists will cherish with fond af
fection as long as the Baptist name
shall endure. But the Christian
Index is not living in the past. It
is looking to the present and to the
future, and seeking to become a
greater power for good; and hence
this “special effort” by which it is
proposed that February shall be the
Index month among the nearly 200-
000 white Baptists of Georgia.—Re

Perky —Dr. and Mrs. P. F. Tharp
celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of
their marriage. Jan. 24th.
Os the thirty children and grand
children all were present except
three. Dr. and Mrs. Tharp are both
well preserved and full of life, ener
gy and good works. Dr. Tharp is
too well known as a minister, for
me to speak of his life suffice to say
he is the same grand man. Nowhere,
does the life of these good people
tell more than in their own family.
Their children love and honor them,
and are following them in the Gos
pel faith.
After dinner Dr. Tharp made
some touching remarks, expressive
of the goodness of God to them, in
the past and extended some whole
some advice to the children, as to
their future life.

■ Macon.—The Board of Trustees
continues the name of Prof. S.P.San

Emeritus of Mathematics and As
tronomy.
He spends a part of his time in
this city, and occasionally visits the
college. As a slight tribute to his
life-long labors for Mercer Universi
ty, the Faculty at their last meeting
agreed to tender to Prof. Sanford a
room in the main building to be used
by him as an office, whenever he so
desires. We hope thus to induce
him to spend many hours in these
college halls, and to form the ac
quaintance of our students, who may
draw inspiration from the conspicu
ous example of his long, laborious
and unselfish life, spent in the up
building and development of the
young men of Georgia.

The Valdosta church was extreme
ly fortunate when it secured the ser
vices of Bro. P. 11. Murray. This
is Bro. Murray’s third year at Val
dosta, and judging from the large
congregations and the interest manr
fested by the brethren in his work, ho
is certainly meeting a long-felt want.
Bro. Murray came from St. Paris
Ohio, to the church here; but is a
typical Virginian by birth and edu
cation. If either Virginia or Ohio,
has any more like Bro. Murray, we
wish they would come to Georgia.
The Newnan Herald says our good
brother, Major and Mrs. U. B. Wil

our city for nearly, half a century,
beloved and respected by every one,
and it is needless to say that they
will be very greatly missed.
The Florida Baptist witness speak
ing of the calls of churches, has this
to say of our brother. And this re.
minds us to say that those of us who
were fortunate enough to hear that
admirable sermon from our brother,
W. H. Strickland, at Lake City, felt
like capturing him for Florida, the
Decatur, Ga., brethren to the con
trary notwithstanding.

THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY FEBRUARY 2,1893.
. HELD NOTES.
Rev. J. M. Atkinson is just now
one of the busyest preachers in
Georgia, besides being the pastor of
(we don’t know how many)churches
he is also running a farm (if we mis
take not) and we are sure he has
bought out a news paper—as we
found him at Harlem hard at work
up to his elbows in printer’s “ink’’
and “pie” with a “stick” in his hand.
He finds some time though to put in
a lick for the Index. Send us in a
good long list of new names soon
brother James.
Rev. J. C. Bell has succeededßev.
A. C- Rainwater, at Ray Town for
1893.
While we were in Thomson we
discovered some of Bishop J. 11.
Fortson’s tracks—the brother was
not there, he was gone, but we miss
ed him just the same. The Index,
however, will visit eight new fami
lies in the future, and when he re
turns he will be glad and rejoice be
cause we entered into his labors.
Rev. W. R. Cox, a brother well
beloved by us, (because if we re
member aright, we laid our hand up
on him when the Lord had called
him into his work, and bade him
God speed in that work) has succeed
ed Bro. R. E. L. Harris, at Barnett,
also Bro. John R. Young, at Phil
lipps Mills—also Bro. W. M. Ver
dery, at Double Branches. Rev.
Halcomb Harris, at Eastman, is much
improved we learn, and his brother,
R. E. L., has returned to his home,
and work at Crawfordville. We are
glad, may the good Lord recover him
entirely.
We did not stop over at Norwood
of course we did not, for when we
were there in the late fall, the “In
dex” went into all the families of the
church that did not have it—and we
feel sure if any new ones have come
in Bro. J. W. Ellington will see that
they have it. By the way we are
not so sure but that poor little church
at Norwood (rich in faith and good
works) is not the banner missionary
Baptist Church in Georgia. Just
think of it, only thirty-two of them,
and the most of them poor, several
widows, and the minutes show that
they contributed last associational
year one hundred and seventy-one
dollars for missions, and seven dol
lars by the Womans Missionary Soci
ty besides. “Every one of you”
every regular mooting day, is Pastor
Ellington’s motto, that’s the scrip
ture plan we think.
E.
Crawford.—l see the impression
has gone out among the brethren
that Bro. J. G. Gibson and family
have moved to Atlanta, I know that
he and family are boarding in At
lanta, and that his Post Office for
the present is 48 Gilmer Street in
said City; but to say that he has
moved to Atlanta in that he designs
to make that City a permanent home,
is a mistake.
When Georgia Baptists called
upon Bro. Gibson to take up the
work which Dear Brother Devotio
laid down when called by his Master
from labor to rest we believed with
other brethren throughout the state
that he was eminently fitted for the
work. Therefore though it sadly
grieved our hearts to do so, we cheer
fully gave him up, feeling that the
Lord had called him to devote his
time and talents to the prosecution
of the great work which ought to be
nearest the heart of every Christian
who loved the Master, and human
souls.
Our beloved brother had been for
many years our dear friend, loved
pastor, and spiritual .advisor, and
every body in the community from
the little prattling boys and girls to
the old grayheaded fathers and moth
ers loved him with a sincere devo
tion. He had baptized many of us.
Married our children. Comforted us
when we had to lay our loved ones
in the grave, rejoiced with us when
glad, mourned with us in our sor
rows, therefore our lives were bound
to his by the holiest and most sacred
ties of affection.
However believing that the Mas
ter had called him into this field of
labor, we said take him Lord and
use him, we give him to thee. Thou
hast the first claim on him, but we
hold the second claim to him and
his beloved wife whom we love also
with sincere affection. Wo ure will
ing for the time being that he should
make Atlanta his home, for the sake
of convenience, and as long as it is
best for him, we are willing to be
deprived of his and his family’s pres
ence among us. Hut Oglethorpe coun
ty is his home; his earthly interests
arc identified with ns; his member
ship is with us, and here we proposed
to keep it; he is the beloved modera-
tor of our Association and we pro
pose to keep him as such; And when
the time comes that the master shall
call him higher, we propose to have
his precious dust deposited in our
midst.
We do not worship Bro. Gibson
we simply love him, and trust him,
we know' he is shnply a man, but
then we know he loves us, we love
him with a love that has grown with
the years. No, brethren of Georgia,
we gave Bro. Gibson upto the work
unto which the Lord had called him,
however sorely it grieved our hearts,
but we still say that when he shall
give up his present work we shall
call him back to us, and w hen the
busy season of his work during the
year is over we fully expect him and
his family to come back home. Ex
cuse us dear brother, for trespassing
upon your patience, but we felt con
strained to say what wo have said
on this subject. God bless our be
loved brother Gibson, and give glo
rious success to the grand work
which fills his mind and heart.

"iT WAS TRIED. ”
Dear Bro. McMichael.—l was
sorry to see, in one of your recent
issues, a semi-endorsement of tho
suggestion to discontinue the publi
cation of the Foreign Mission Jour
nal and the Home Field. The plea
offered—that the free uso of the col
umns of our weekly press would ad
equately suffice to meet, without ex
pense, the demand of the denomina
tion for Mission news, and would
prove quite sufficient as a medium
of intercourse between our Boards
and the churches, is fallacious, though
specious.
Perhaps you are not aware, al
though many of your older readers
recollect it weli, that this same spe
cious plea, for similar reasons, —sav-
ing of expense, and reaching the
people,—was made ppoe before,
since the war! The experiment was
made ;it failed totally; and it will
fail again, should the unfortunate
experiment be made.
You may remember the humorous
adage: “The proof of the pudding
is in chewing the bag!”
Please don’t try to make us “chew
the bag” to our sorrow the second
time! For it will soon he discover
ed that those editors who are“inclin
ed” to agree with tho suggestion, are
grievously short-sighted. The idea
that “one-tenth” of the labor em
ployed in editing the Home Field
and Foreign Mission Journal, would
suffice to edit twenty or twenty-five
“Mission columns” in as many week
ly papers,—is quite refreshing for its
simplicity, even should every single
one of our most excellent weeklies,
invariably publish the matter mailed
to them every week by the two
Boards!
Let it not be forgotten that our
Boards, under the sanction of the
Southern Baptist Convention, once
gave this plan a trial, and that it
hailed—egregiously failed.
What a woful backstop would a
second similar experiment inaugu
rate, at a time when there seems to
be, a real revival in the missionary
spirit of our denomination!

new creation,” is the instruction of
One Divinely inspired, to warn us of
the danger of forms and ceremonies.
In all formal religion, the form
grows faster than the spirit—where
the spirit is lacking undue attention
is given to the ritual and the power
decreases as the formal is elevated.
In ritualism the symbols seek to
work tho power and standard into
tho heart. But in regeneration it is
not so—the spiritual is already work,
ed into the heart anc[ it needs no
form or ceremonies to work out the
the power of the new creation—the
power comes out of the renewed
heart as naturally as the sap comes
from the root of the tree, feeds the
boughs, makes the blossom, and rip
ens the fruit.
Forms and ceremonies in religion
of all creeds were invented, no doubt
to givo coveted and unlawful power
to the few, but it has always been
intended by its advocates, to cloth 6
a certain and particular religion with
visibility of form—without which
that particular religion could never
live—without the symbol and with,
out the spiritual it is like the tree
without the sap, or as a bunch of
flowers put in the top of a walking
cane.
Images, altars and paintings, are
only sickly, puny human attempts to
add force to a religion without found
ation—without vitality and with
out life.
It is true faith must be directed
to the unseen through some kind of
a channel, but it can no more live
and grow on the dead forms and
symbols of the ritual than can the
child live and grow without the at
tention and food from the mother.
Tho New Testament is as silent
as the grave as to any and all forms
in worship. It eschews all parade.
There is no definite posture appoint
ed for prayer, no sot formula given
for sermon or exhortation, and no
pitch of voice for the melodies of
song. But there was the most won
derful precautions thrown around its
hallowed mission that it might not
stand in “meats and drinks,” and
days and dress, but in spiritual pow
er of unction and action.

Mr. W* H. Witherspoon, Prest. At
lantic Electropoise Co., Atlanta
Ga.,
Dear Sir:—l value the Electro -
poise very highly,and regard it as in
valuable for such ailments as it has
met in my case. It is an admirable ton
ic and acts finely on the liver kidneys
and digestive organs—relieves insom
nia or at least induces sleep. I would
recommend it for bronchial, throat
and lung troubles. I commenced its
use after suffering for three months
from La Grippe and found it bene
ficial at once. I can not say that it
will make a young man out of an
old one, but can recommend it to all
whose physical condition and tem
perament is similar to mine.
I do not hesitate to recommend to
any person or family where any of
its members need treatment on the
lines above mentioned. I write in
haste, should the above bo unsatis
factory or need condensation you
can arrange it as you please for pub
lication retaining the substance of
what I say.
I am getting on very comfortably
now considering my age and indis
position for many years past; I may
say wonderfully so and consider
that I owe it all under a good Prov
idence to your directions in the use
of the Electropoise. I would cau
tion all who may uso the instrument,
to study thoroughly the book of di
rections and to follow them closely.
I am thankful to God and to you
that I am able thus to commend
your Electropoise.
Very truly, and with kindest re
gards, I am,

At a recent interesting missionary
conference, held by the Baptists of
Now York and Brooklyn, Dr. Bun
ker, of the Burman Mission made the
following remarks about the impor
tance of the work in Burma:
“Dr. A. T. Bunker, of the Burman
Mission, said that Burma being a
comparatively small country, some
might doubt the wisdom of spending
so much on missions there* lie call
ed attention to the position of Bur
ma and the developments which
must follow from the railroads now
built or projected, by which other
countries could be evangelized. God
knew what He meant when He sent
Judson to Burma. Through our
mission we shall have access to the
borders of China and Thibet. The
Karens are born teachers and preach
ers. They are a native instrumen
tality of the highest order. Our
very successes are now our peril.
To sustain our missions needs large
expenditure. Are we prepared to
pray—“ Don’t bless us any more?
Don’t give us any more converts.”
One of the most notable speeches
made during the meetings was that
of Dr. Broadus, at Washington Av.,
church, Brooklyn.
A Washington correspondent of
tho Religious Herald tells of a very
effective way'of raising money for
Church Extension purposes. “Cal
vary Baptist church, one of the
handsomest in Washington, is too
crowded, and a committee was re
cently appointed to devise means for
increasing its accomodations, and al
so for building a now chapel for one
of its branch missions, and aiding
another to build. This committee
decided upon a plan of which
involved the expenditure of $140,-
000. The pastor, Dr. Green, sent
letters to all of his congregation, re
questing them to attend the meet
ing on the next Sunday. After
stating, in detail, in the meeting,
what the money was wanted for, he
said that a member of his congroga
tion had offered to contribute an
equal amount to that contributed by
the rest of the congregation. Then
the contributions began to pour in
starting with several of 85,000 each,
and in less than an hour they footed
up $70,000, which was duplicated by
Mr. S. W. Woodward, a Washing
ton merchant, making a total of
$140,000.”
The great Yukon river of Alaska,
is soon to be made a highway of

on it of a regular service of side

the proposed line, now building, will
run from St. Michael’s Island, fifty
five miles from the mouth of the
Yukon—at which point it will con
nect with Norton Sound steamers—-
over 2,200 miles up the river. The
fact Alaska has the third—pos
sibly the second—largest river in
North America, is not often remem
