cated Indians. The Squaw-men are
white men with native wives. Some
of these Indian women are almost
white, well educated and good house
keepers. Most of this class are ir
religious. “Ye cannot serve God
mammon.” There are more Whites
than Indians in the Territory. It is
well known that the White race is
very aggressive and grasping, and
the missionaries, even those appoint
ed to labor among the Indians es
pecially and particularly, often find
it difficult to resist the importunities
of the Whites, for preaching, to the
neglect of the Indians. Thus, in a
sense, the Whites are not only rob
bing, as they have ever done, the In
dians of their lands, but also of the
Gospel. Shall I say of Heaven?
The Whites and full-blood Indians
rarely live together in the same im
mediate settlement. A majority of
the full bloods do not understand
English sufficiently well to enjoy ser
vice in the English language. The
tribal character of the Indians is al
most at an end. Two able Indian
men, Gen. Pleasant Porter and A.
T. McKellop, delegates from the
Muskogee Nation, sent to Washing
ton to watch legislation upon Indian
affairs, recently wrote an open letter
to their people, warning them to
prepare at once for the opening of
their country, the dissolution of their
tribe, for citizenship in the United
States and competition with the
Whites in all the relations of life.
This warning is timely. The
breaking up of all these tribes is near
at hand. A large majority of the
full-bloods are unprepared for this
change. Many will become vaga
bonds when it comes. Many others
will arise and become useful citizens.
It will not be exactly a “survival of
the fittest” but a development of the
fittest. And yet good environments
and proper treatment would develop
a groat many who will sink from lack
of these. These full-bloods are some
what to blame for their present ill
condition for this great change. They
have failed to exert themselves these
many years and thus become pre
pared. They have pulled back in
stead of pushing forward.
Again, their leaders have been
mostly narrow, selfish, corrupt men.
They have manifested little, if any,
patriotism. They have fed out of the
public crib and squandered theqiublic
funds iff notous lmngf But tlib situ)
ation here is not altogether gloom/.
There are more Indian children be
ing educated than ever before. New
National schools have been opened
among the Choctaws, Muskogees and
Seminolcs. There are more mis
sionaries at work among those tribes
than ever before. There are more
churches and a greater membership.
Railroads are building in every di
rection, towns are springing up, coal
mines developing. It scarcely looks
like an Indian country now. Our
Baptist interests are growing rapidly.
We have one college and five acade
mies. These are owned and control
ed exclusively by the Baptists and
have no connection w ith the national
Councils, the State.
Our Convention is growing rapid
ly in power for good. Its missiona
ries are active, useful, consecrated
men. The Corresponding Secretary
and the Executive Board are thor
oughly acquainted with the field and
know just where work is most need
ed and are in constant, personal
oversight of the work. Not a dime
of missionary money is w asted. The
officers of the Convention do their
work free, without money compensa
tion, hence every dime gathered goes
to the field to sustain the missiona
ries.
The mission among the wild tribes
is exceedingly encouraging. The
Anadarko Mission school is filling
up with little wild Indian girls and
boys. Mr. and Mrs. Perkins take
great pains to teach them manners,
morals, cleanliness, industry and
books. Messrs Hicks and Boston
and Misses Recside and Ballew are
missionaries among the Kiowas and
Comanches. They are greatly en
couraged in their work. Eleven full
blood Kiowas were hopefully con
verted and baptized during the cold
cat of this winter weather. Two
chapels are contracted for and will
soon be built by the Home Mission
Society, New York. The Kiowas
begged for these chapels. The wo
men delight to be taught to cut,
sew, make bread, etc., by the mission
ary ladies. Industrial schools arc
taught nearly every day attended by
women and children.
The simplest doctrines of the Gos
pel are taught and even the men
come to listen to those talks and all
are greatly benefitted.
Wo beg for continued prayer for,
and interest in the Indian mission
work. Yours,
J. S. Mviutow.
ASKED AND ANSWERED.
BY C. E. W. DOBBS.
I am anxious to get some good
concise volume on the evidences of
Christianity. Can you recommend
such a book? f. ii. m.
Fortunately we have been reading
just such a volume the past week.
The book is “Christ and Modern un
belief” just issued from the press of
Thomas Whitaker, the enterprising
publisher, of Now York City. The
author is the Rev. R. II- McKim, a
Washington City pastor of national
reputation. It has been our privi
lege to read few books that we could
so unhesitatingly commend. The
subjects involved in the discussion
are treated from the point of view of
modern unbelief, rather than from
that of the past century, in which
Butler, Paley and others did grand
services for the truth of our holy re
ligion. Skepticism is ever shifting
its sandy foundations, and works
that fully met the exigencies of the
controversy in a former generation
are felt to be comparatively useless
in the conflict of the present. The
little “six-pounders” that the bare
footed patriots of 1776 wearily drag
ged over their blood-stained way
were admirable weapons against the
rod coats, but they would scarcely
bo thought available in a battle of
to-day. Christian apologetics must
meet the assults of the present with
the improved weapons of the day
This Ur. McKim has admirably done
in the excellent little book before us.
The price is only one dollar, and
F. H. M. will find it just the book
be needs. We trust every minister
and intelligent layman will read it-
By what authority were the books
of the Old Testament put into the
Bible, and how do we know they are
rightly there ? b. l. c.
It is enough to say that the Old
Testament as we have it to-day was
recognized by Jesus and his Spirit,
guided apostles as the “sacred script
ures.” We do not say that such rec
ognition settles in favor of tradition
al views the many questions relating
to authenticity and inspiration now
agitating the Christian world. The
New Testament was not given to au
thoritatively decide such questions.
Wo know the Jewish doctors were
greatly divided on some of those
very questions during our Lord’s
ministry, yet he uttered no werd in
settlement of the pending contro
versies. He referred to the holy
volumes as the “law and the proph
ets”—as the “Scriptures”—without
expressing any opinion as to the
disputed authorship of certain
portions, or as to the nature or mode
of inspiration. It is generally held
that the Old Testament canon was
established by Ezra, and it has sub
stantially remained unaltered
to the present day. Tradition as
cribes to the Apostle John the work
of collecting and sanctioning the
writings which were worthy of a
place in the New Testament canon,
but this tradition is not accepted by
scholars. A more probable opinion
is that each of the original churches
collected for itself the writings
which could be proved to be the pro
duction of inspired men. The Script
ures as they now stand were general
ly known and accepted before the
middle of the third century,
and in 397, A. D. they were
formally ratified by the third
Council of Carthage. Since then
they have been ratified by each
church at the time of its organiza
tion. But the canon was really es
tablished gradually, “growing silent
ly under the guidance of an inward
instinct rather than by the force of
external authority.” •
What proof is there that Nicode
mus was a disciple of Jesus?
a. n.
It is altogether circumstantial
The New Testament does not say he
W’as one. He is mentioned only
three times. (John 3: 1, etc.; 7: 50;
19: 39). From those references wo.
get quite a favorable view of the man-
From his association with Joseph,
who is declared to have been a se
cret believer in Jesus, we may almost
positively conclude that Nicodemus
also cherished a secret faith in him.
The unanimous tradition from the
early Christians is that Nicodemus
became an active minister of Christ
after the ascension of the Lord.
I have much difficulty in reconcil
ing with justice the conduct of the
householder who paid equal wages to
all the laborers in his vineyard.
Does not the gospel teach that we
are to be rewarded according to our
works? SUPERINTENDENT.
Our brother’s reference is to our
Lord’s parable found in Matt 20: 1-
16. Trench says that no parable
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX THURSDAY MARCH 30. 1893.
has received more varying interpre
tations, and certainly few are more
difficult of entirely satisfactory ex
position. He regards Peter’s inquiry
in Matt. 19: 27 as the key to the ap
plication. Peter seemed to speak in
the spirit of a hireling, laboring only
for the paltry “penny” a day. His
question “put their relation to their
Lord on a wrong footing; there was
a tendency in it to bring their obedi
ence to a calculation of so much
work, so much reward.” So Trench
regards the parable as a rebuke of
the apparently more mercenary mo
tives actuating their service. Dr.
Broadus thinks this unjust to Peter
and the other disciples: “The apos
tle’s inquiry may be easily stigma
tized as self-complacent or mercena
ry. But Jesus evidently did not so
regard it. They had made real sac
rifices and were following him in
worldly destitution with dismal
worldly prospects. * * * Jesus
solemnly promises great rewards to
the Twelve (verse 28), and extends
it to all who have left anything for
his sake (verse 29); and then guards
against all selfish and jealous claims
of superior reward in verse 30, illus
trated by the parable which follows.”
Augustine thought the “penny” to
each taught that “eternal life is equal
to all,” at the same time he taught a
difference in the rewards, as “all
stars are in the same firmament, but
star differeth from star in glory.”
Certainly the parable teaches that
even in the bestowment of his re
wards God exercises his gracious
sovereignty. He will do injustice to
none; at the same time he “will act
as he shall think proper in respect
to and many who enter
his service late will receive greater
reward than others who entered
earlier; he will recognize no claim on
any such ground. A notable in
stance would be the Aposlo Paul.
* * * It is pre-supposed through
out that Christ’s servants will be dif
ferently rewarded; wo learn hero
that this reward will not be regula
ted by the more outward conditions
of tho time spent in his service, or
the results actually attained, but will
be confered according to his own
judgement and sovereign pleasure.
David, who meant to build, will be
rewarded as truly, and it may be as
richly, as Solomon who built; James,
who was early slain, as truly as his
1 brother, who lived long? 1 * • **
“It is very true, as some commenta
tors urge, and it may be properly re
called hero, that God will reward
men more according to aim and spir
it than to time spent or results
achieved; but the Saviour does not
here say that, or distinctly imply it.”
* * * “God will reward his work
ers richly, in this life and the life to
come. He will give to none less
than ho had promised, but ho will
give to some much more than he had
promised. He will give as a sover
eign, and his workers must recognize
that he docs all things well.
1. What was the origin of Easter?
2. If it is right to celebrate Easter,
why do not all Baptists do it?
3. Have Deacons the right to bap-
tize and administer the Lord’s sup
per? READER.
1. This question has boon twice
answered in this department during
the past ten months. We will again
say that tho special] name “Easter”
is of late origin. It is probably tho
same as Eostre, the name of an An
glo-Saxion divinity. But the annu
al celebration of tho season answer
ing to “Easter,” in commemoration
of tho resurrection of Christ, was
common among tho early Christians,
though the custom began a century
or more after tho Apostles.
2. Baptists aro considered to be a
very independent folk, and they will
do as they please about “celebrating
Easter.” Wo seo nothing in such
celebration inconsistent with Baptist
faith or polity,unless indeed,“Easter”
lie urged as particularly holy and
obligatory. In an editorial article
wo have something to say on this
question incidentally. It is always
proper to “celebrate” our Lord's res
urection.
8. Wo find nothing in tho New
Testament in regard to this question.
Baptists generally behove tho ordi
nances are under the control of the
church, and by authority of the
church “deacons” might bo authori
zed to administer them. Almost
universal Baptist usage is, however,
to confine the administration to the
ordained minist;y. Certainly such
usage seems beat adapted to subserve
tho decent and orderly observance
of tho sacred rites. •
Dear Index.—l desire to give my
most hearty indorsement to Bro.’B.
M. Callaway’s position on tho atone
ment. I think it safe, sound and in
perfect accord with the Baptist view
respecting this most important doc
trine. His position is the same as
that taken by Drs. Ryals and Dagg.
1 am surprised at the position of our
good brother, Dr. Branham. When
he says “Atonement is universal,”
and then adds, “Atonement is the
price paid ; redemption is the thing
paid for,” he teaches one or the
other of two things: Either Christ
will not get all he bought and paid
for, —or universal salvation. This is
the only logical conclusion.
It is true, “repenting and believing
are necessary in order that the atone
ment may be made personally effici
ent to the sinner’s salvation.” But
repentance and faith are effects of
which regeneration is the cause.
But without atonement, there could
be no regeneration. Christ made
vicarious atonement for his people,
Isa. sth chapter. As the result of
this, all his people will be regenera
ted, and, as the result of regenera,
tion, all his people will repent and
believe in him.

COMMENT.
j have read the foregoing article
from Bro. Parrott, and his endorse
ment of Bro. Callaway’s position on
the atonement, with much interest
lie appears surprised at my state
ment that atonement is universal,
and that it is the price paid; while
redemption is the thing paid for-
He then says that I teach one or the
other, of two things, viz.: “either that
Christ will not get all that he bought
and paid for, or that universal salva
tion is true.” I deny that I teach
either one of these things. A fair
and candid construction of my state
ment of the questions involved in
this discussion, will prove that the
contrary is taught.
I have an exalted opinion of the
scholarship of both Doctors Dagg
and Ryals, and while I respect their
teachings, I pin my faith to the sleeve
of no uninspired man.
Dr. Ryals and myself were inti
mately associated for a number of
years. During that time we repeat
edly conversed upon this subject,
and my recollection is, that after
carefully ascertaining the meaning
of words, and making proper dis
crimination in their use, there was,
practimlljj^little or no difference be
tween us.
Confusion in my own mind was
produced.by the preaching of several
ministers upon this subject, and their
loose manner of using and applying
words as convertible, or synonomous,
which substantially differ in mean
ing.
I apprehend that herein lies the
difference between Bro. Callaway
and Bro. Parrott, of the one part,, and
myself of the other, in regard to the
doctrine under discussion.
Therefore, before I proceed any
further in the matter, I desire to ask
a few questions, to which 1 hope and
believe, that these brethren will make
candid answers.
(1.) What is the meaning of the
Greek word, “ilasmos ? ”
(2.) What is the meaning of the
Greek work, “katallangen ? ”
(3.) What is the meaning of the
Greek word, “apolutrosis?”
(4.) Do these three words have
tho same meaning, and may they bo
used indifferently, as synonomous 7 ’’
(5.) Is tho word “katallangen,’’
correctly translated in the “Common
Version,” Rom. 5:11?
(6.) To whom is the atonement
offered?
(7.) To what,and to whom, is the
atonement limited?
(8.) To whom are reconciliation
and redemption offered ?
(9.) What is the scope of the fol.
lowing verses? viz.:—Jno. 3:16-17
2 Cor. 5:14-15, Ist Jno. 2:2.
(10.) Is not the atonement the im
mediate procuring cause of every
other blessing of grace ?
As far as I can, I am as willing to
answer questions as I am to ask
them. Lot us seek the truth as re.
vealed, and humbly accept it when
found, whether it confirms or over
turns our preconcieved opinions.
We must not forgot to make our
articles brief. I. R. Branham.

00X COLLEGE,
THE PROGRESS OF ITS SEMI-CENTEN-
NIAL SESSION. THE FULL GRAD-
UATE COURSE. ACCESSIONS
AND COMMENCEMENT
IMPROVEMENTS.
The Southern Female College has
been spending her semi-centennial
session, with becoming dignity, in
quiet, earnest and fruitful work. The
enrollment of pupils is as large a 8
usual, the standards in the various
departments have more nearly ap
proximated the ideals of the teachers,
and prosperity is crowning this
epochal year.
In the attendancemore of than
one hundred boarders there has
been no serious case of sickness.
All the girls in the College Home
have professed religion, except
some six or seven, who are chiefly
new-comers. The health record and
the religious interest are subjects of
profound gratitude to themanage
ment of the school.
Much attention is given Bible
study. The course covers three
years, with two or three hours of re
■citation per week. It includes The
Life of Christ, The Christian Church,
and Messianic Prophecy. The study
is real work, requiring almost as
much time and attention as Latin.
The Full Course is the increasing
pride of the College. The present
Seniors in this course will have
completed at graduation—Cicero,
Horace, Livy and Juvenal, with
Tetlow’s Latin Composition; ten
books of Wentworth’s Geometry
with original problems, plane and
spherical trigonometry, Olmstead’s
Mathematical Astronomy; Noah K,
Davis’s Psychology, Jevons’ Logic
ethics ; Genung’s Rhetoric (parts one
and two) with lectures and exercises
Abbott’s How to Parse, Trench on
Words, Whately’s Synonyms, Kames’
Elements of Criticism, critical read
ing of selected authors from Chaucer
to Tennyson and Sidney Lanier; a
study in American history from
original records; botany, physics,
general chemistry, analytical and in.
dustrial chemistry, mineralogy and
geology; Greek reader, Testament
and Homer’s Iliad (two books);
French ; White’s Elements of Peda
gogy, and the Bible course.
Only three or four a year com
plete t(ie Full Course. To attain
to graduation in it requires that
the pupils be thoroughly prepar.
ed and well advanced, that they
be bright and industrious, that they
remain at college several years, de
voting their time almost exclusively
to these studies.
The teachers sigh for the day
when parents will more generally
give their consent for the pupils to
remain at college a reasonable length
of time to complete a good course.
In the management of the schedule
we have aimed to have daily recita.
tions in a study; to finish a subject
thoroughly before taking up the next
in course, preferring to omit a branch
rather than skim over it; to regulate
carefully the number of recitations
per day for each pupil, and especially
to prevent pursuing more than four
subjects at once. This plan of con
centration works well. By it pupils
with the same effort and time do
more, and do it better.
We are hoping there will be larger
numbers in the coming years to un
dertake the Full Course. In the
three graduate courses, Full, Regular
and Eclectic, we have at present
twenty-three candidates for gradua
tion. The number has been re
duced by several failures to pass the
examinations. This is a common oc
curance in the College. The pupils,
however, continue at work, and as a
rule determine to return and do bet
ter the next year. In the examina
tions only figures, not names, are
signed to the papers, so that the
teacher in correcting and marking
the work does not know the writer

sending GREEfiNGs’To’ THE DE
PARTED.
At the late anniversary of the death of
Mr. Spurgeon, Dr. Pierson proposed that
one of the members be commissioned to
send a message of love from the church
to Mr. S., through a friend who was re
ported to be dying near by. A writer in
the London Baptist of March 3rd, 1893,
says that he once heard of Spurgeon's
sending his love to Whitfield, under the
same circumstances. In a sermon,preach
ed by Mr. Spurgeon, August2B, 1881, he
said that Rowland Hill once went to an
aged friend who was dying, that he
might send a message by him to John
Berridge, and others, who had gone be
fore.
It appears from these incidents that
Dr. Pierson’s proposition to send a mes
sage to Spurgeon was in accordance with
what Mr. Spurgeon himself had done.
Sending messages to the departed by
people who are dying is a very unusual
occurrence. The instances mentioned
above excited much surprise, some
severe criticism, and considerable ridi
cule.
But why may it not he done? Is it im
possible? Is it contrary to the nature of
things, or to the teachings of the Bible?
1. The death of the earthly body does
not destroy personal identity. It is the
deathless soul, that gives to the material
body its peculiar characteristics, contin
ues its personal identity, (and makes it
recognizable as the same individual
throughout all the changes of its earthly
life. From the earliest day of conscious
existence, up through childhood, youth,
mature years,and down through extreme
old age, it knows itself, and is known by
others, to be the same person. So, when
death separates the soul from its mortal
body, it will impress itself upon its spiri
tual body, in such a manner, as to make
itself known to bo the same person, that
lived and moved, and had its being, in
this world. It will retain its concious
ness of personal identity, will know it
self, and will be known by others, to be
the same.
Though Moses had been dead about
1600 years, and Elijah about 1000 years,
before Christ, yet they appeared upon
the Mount of Transfiguration.as the same
men, and were recognized as such by
Jesus and the three apostles,w ho accom
panied Him. Peter was so transported by
what he saw, that he wished to abide
there, and said to Jesus. “It is good
for us to be here. If thou wilt jet us
build three Tabernacles, one for Thee,
one for Moses and one for Elias.” Peter
knew them, for he called them by their
names. How he came to know them,
does not matter for our present purpose.
The fact stands, that heknew|them. and
that he knew them to be the same Moses
and Elias that had once lived upon the
earth.
Dives knew Abraham and Lazarus,
and they knew him. They knew each
other as the same persons who had lived
in this world.
True, the narrative is a parable, but it
clearly sets forth several great truths
One of them is that death does not des
troy personal identity.
2. Death I does not destroy the facul
ties of the soul, or suspend their func
tions. Memory remains retentive. This
is plainly taught in the parable of Dives
and Lazarus. Abraham said Dives,
“Soil remember.” He did remember his
five brethren.
He keenly felt his own sufferings, and
earnestly desired that they should be
warned lest they too should share his
miserable condition.
Abraham knew the circumstances of
both men in this world. He reminded
Dives that he had had his good things
and Lazarus his evil things. Perhaps he
learned the facts from Lazarus, for they
seem to have been on very intimate terms.
Angels boro the beggar to tho bosom of
the patriarch.
Dives and Abraham are represented as
having carried on a conversation, and as
talking in a very natural, matter of course
manner, just as people talk to each oth
er in this world.
Lazarus, no doubt, was an attentive
and deeply interested listener, 'and
would gladly have gone on an errand of
mercy to the hopeless sufferer, but for
the “great gulf fixed between them.”
So that death does not destroy the facul
ties of the soul, nor suspend their func
tions.
More [than this, the faculties of the
soul will not only not bo destroyed or
suspended, but they will be renovated,
quickened, cleared, and enlarged. We
shall not only know all we knew in this
life but we shall know it a great deal
better.
Here, “we see iff part, and we prophe
sy in part. But when that which Is per
fect is come, then that which is in part
shall bo done away. Now, we see
through a glass darkly; but then face to
face: now 1 know in part; butthen shall
I know even aA also I am known."
Now if personal identity is preserved,
ifjall imperfections are removed from tho
spiritual body, and if we not only retain
all the knowledge acquired in the present
life, but shall know It more perfectly,
why shall wo not know and communicate
with those in heaven, whom we knew on
earth?
Is it Impossible? Is it against the na
ture of things, or contrary to the teach
ings of the Bible, that those who are
walking through tho valley of the
shadow of death, may bear messages to
those who have already reached the oth
er side?
What we call death is only a transfer,
to another state of existence. The soul
merely leaves “the earthly house of its
tabernacle” to dwell, forever, in “the
house not made with hands, eternal in
heaven.”
Jesus said to the Sadducees, “Have ya
not read that which was spoken unto
you by God, saying, I am the
God of Abraham, and the God
of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?”
and then he, himself adds, “God
is not the God of the dead, but of
the living.” Yet, as we say, these men
had been dead more than 1800 years
when Jesus uttered those words. They
were still alive, and were spoken of as
the same men who had once lived on the
earth. They had all the attributes of
living,intelligent souls. They knew them
selves, they knew each other,|they could
remember,they could therefore,converse,
and tell what they knew. Could they
not bear messages from earth to heaven?
