REV- L. W. PARROTT'S ANSWERS
Bro. P. has answered the first, sec
ond, third and fourth questions di
rectly, and I think, correctly. They
agree, in substance, with the answers
given by Bro. A. B. Vaughan, in the
Index of Apr. 13.
Answer fifth, he says Katallangen,
in the common version, Rom. 5:11,
“is not correctly translated, if taken
out of its connection.” But, if con
sidered in connection with the other
words in the sentence, he holds that
it is correctly translated.
Ho quotes the interpretation of
the passage given by Dr. Samson as
corroborative. That interpretation
makes the word Katallangen so com
prehensive in its meaning, as to in
elude both atonement and reconcili
ation.
It was my good fortune to become
acquainted personally with Dr. Sam
son, while living in Washington City
In 1859. The E. St., church of
which ho was pastor, was nearly
opposite to my residence and I often
heard him preach. I have the high
est respect for his scholarship, and
for his opinions, but, as between Dr,
Samson, and the learned men who
made the translation known as the
Common Version, and Dr. Paul, who
is the author of the letter to the
Romans, and who was certainly as
thoroughly versed in the Greek lan
guage as either Dr. Samson, or the
translators of King James’s version,
I am not slow to choose my leader.
Paul knew the exactness of the Greek
language, and the difference in mean
ing of the words under consideration,
and if he had meant atonement or
propitiation, he would not have used
the word Katallangen, hut he would
have used the Greek word hilasmos.
The Hebrew word “kaphar,” or
“copher,” is translated in the Septu
agint by the Greek word hilasmos,
which means propitiation. The
phrase, to make atonement, the Sev
enty express by the Greek word
ekilaskomai, which signifies, “to ren
der propitious.”
It occurs to mo that the method
of interpretation suggested is a very
unsafe one, especially where funda
mental doctrines are involved. It is
loose, and leads to uncertainty, doubt
and confusion. A word correctly
translated gives a definite, settled
meaning to tho connection in which
it stands that may bo relied on. A
word incorrectly translated colors
tho connection in which it stands
with error, is misleading, and hurt
ful.
The quotation from Dr. Samson is
very unfortunate for Bro. Parrott’s
purpose. Dr. Samson says, “Recon
ciliation is but a result of something
beforehand accomplished; it is an
effect which must have an adequate
cause.” That sentence states the
matter correctly, and is inconsistent
with what has gone before. Is the
cause of a thing identical with the
effect it produces ?
“Is the effective means by which
alienation is brought to an end” to
bo confounded with the end accom.
plished ? Are the means used, and
the end sought identical? Can the
effect produce tho cause? Can the
end accomplish the means? Is it
correct, or logical, to turn these ideas
around, and to make that which was
last first ? Tho expressions, “means
to an end,” “cause and effect,” are
but figures of speech, antecedents
and consequents, standing in logical
relation to each other and illustra
ting the relation existing between
atonement or propitiation, and rec
onciliation.
They are used by Dr. Samson in the
same manner as I have used hilas
mos or propitiation, and apolutro
sis or redemption, when I said that
“atonement is the price paid, redemp
tion the thing paid for.” Indeed, in
a former article, in speaking of atone
rnent and redemption, I made use of
these very terms, saying, “that atone
ment was the means, redemption tho
end; atonement the cause, redemp
tion the effect; atonement the price
paid, redemption tho thing paid
for.”
This last statement Bro. Parrott
regards as my most serious error. If
ho bad read carefully my proceeding
article, I do not think he would have
charged mo with having taught
either universal salvation, or a fail
ure of God’s purposes.
In tho Index, of Feb. 2, 1893, I
said, “atonement was completed, on
the cross, when Christ cried, ‘lt is
finished.’ Atonement in its extent
and its virtue, is sufficient to save
the whole human race. Notwith
standing the extent and virtue of the
atonement, no man is saved until he
is redeemed. But no man is redeem
ed, or bought back from under the
curse of the Law, until he repents of
sin, and believes on tho Lord Jesus
Christ. If atonement and redemp
tion are the same, if they are equal
in extent, if all whose sins are aton
ed for are redeemed, irrespective of
repentance and faith on the part of
the sinner, it follows that all will be
saved, and that the doctrine of uni
versal salvation is true, and that
there is no necessity for repentance
and faith,or an individual acceptance
of Christ as a personal Saviour. But
the Bible plainly teaches that not
all who have lived, heretofore have
been saved, and therefore, that all
were not redeemed.”
In Index Feb. 23,1893, comment
ing on Bro. Callaway’s criticism, I
said, “The trouble lies in the fact
that those who are not saved, are
lost, not;because of any lack of suf
ficiency in the atonement, but be
cause mon “will not come unto God
by Him;” they will not accept Christ.
Though His precious blood has been
shed, and thus, atonement for sin
has been made, yet, they reject the
price paid, and in spite of the suffi
ciency of the atonement, they die un
redeemed and unsaved.”
Man is not a mere thing. God has
endowed him with understanding,tea
son, and will. lie is a free agent.
God does not violently seize men by
the nape of the neck and drag them
into heaven. “It pleased God by
tho foolishness of preaching to save
them that believe.”
The feast has been spread. Those
who eat will live, thoso who refuse
will die. The water of life flows
freely. Thoso who drink will live,
thoso who refuse will die. The bread
and tho water are in sufficient quan
tity to satisfy tho hunger,and to slake
the thirst of every soul. Thousands
refuse to eat and drink, thousands
will, therefore, perish.
“Ho is tho propitiation for our
sins.” Whose sins? “Our si n s;”
tho sins of thoso to whom John wrote
his first epistle. Ho addressed them
as “little children.” Thoso who be
lieved and loved, thoso, therefore
who had boon redeemed- Was that
all? No. “He is tho propitiation for
our sins; and not for ours only, but
also for the sins of the whole world.’*
Tho extent of the atonement is
sufficient for tho sins of tho whole
world; that is tho adequate cause
tho sufficient means. But tho cause
operates, and the means become ef
ficient, only to thoso who believe,
jlnoy are redeemed and saved.
There is neither a falling short ik
God’sjpurpose, nor universal salva.
tion taught in tho doctrines thus pre
sented.
I am surprised at the answers (6)
and (8) in which Bro. P., says “atone
ment is offered to no one.” “Recon
ciliation and redemption are offered
to no one.” It seems from these
answers that there was no one to be
propitiated, no one to bo reconciled,
or redeemed.
I do not understand tho meaning
of Bro. P’s., answers to Nos.. 7 and
9.
Tho answer to number 9 seems
to bo double, and suited to either
side.
The answer to No. 10, is in tho
main satisfactory, I think.
If atonement is the antecedent,
tho procuring cause, the means which
brings about tho ends, then it should
be distinct from tho consequents,
Hie effects produced, tho ends ac
complised, and should not bo con
founded with them.
But enough for this time. I have
learned enough to find out how very
little I really do know. All I pro
pose to do is to test what others say
they know by tho infallible word of
God. I. R. B.
THE MAOON BAPTISTS.
I promised in my last to givo an
account of tho Macon Baptists-
In tho main, they are a zealous
loving, excellent band of brethren.
Indeed soino of tho Baptist hosts in
this city are on firo, as it were, for
Christ and sinners.
Notable among tho great worth
ies hero known, and loved tho State
over for tho largeness of his heart
and tho liberality of his soul, is a
power among men, that grand Chris
tian gentleman, C. B. Willingham.
To my mind ho stands out among
his fellows as Mt. Evorort in tho
groat mountain ranges. And when
I look at him I nm lifted up—when
I am in his presence I rejoice.
Ho has six brothers here, most of
whom are following closo on his
heels in tho Master’s great business.
There is another, brother Thomas H ;
Willingham, of Byron, who is one of
God’s own noblemen. He is a mag
nificent gentleman, is deacon of tho
Byron Baptist church, pays half of
the pastors salary and in many other
ways ho is doing splended work—a
work that shall shine in eternity and
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY• APRIL 27, 1893.
crown him when life’s fitful fever is
o’er. Willingham, the preacher,
needs no introduction to a Georgia
people. Notwithstanding he has
long since left the grand old Empire
State of the South, his work here
can never die. His deeds shall shine
like the stars of tho firmament, and,
like the crystal, sparkling brooks
that leap down the mountain sides,
R. J. Willingham’s life shall flow on,
and down the ages, a mighty bless
ing to the perishing.
Time would fail me to enumerate
his great achievements in Chattanoo
ga, his mighty triumphs in Memphis,
and all his Christly labors in dear old
Tennessee.
As a Georgia boy, we are proud
of you. As a magnificant man of
God we rejoice with the angels over
you.
Go on my brother, conquering and
to conquer, winning souls for Jesus.
May thousands yet who know not
the Saviour,be led smiling on through
the skies at last by thy faithful min
istry.
I know my kind readers will par
don me for speaking thus at lenglh
on tho Willingham’s, for in many ad
mirable respects, they are the most
remarkable family I ever knew. Be
sides these grand, noble young men
and their right worthy and"much be
loved fathers, their are the Willets,
the Steeds, the Mallaries. K. P.
Moore, W. J. Moore, Merritt Stetson,
Glover, Ross, the James Bros., over
the river, D. G. Hughes, C. A. Tur
ner, W. S. Gunn. Nichols, Floyd,
Smith, and scores of others, men and
women who for zeal and prayer and
faith and sacrifice and consecration
can not be excelled in the State.
It is a glorious good band of Chris
tian brethren who worship in our
five Baptist churches here.
And the five Baptist Bishops, with
one exception, (and he is not the
third person) are proving good bless
ings under God in dispensing tho
precious gospel, in warning sinners,
in winning souls, in comforting saints
and in making this city and tho
world around better.
There is first our best beloved old
father in Isriel, E. W. Warren, whose
ivory heart burns for the glory of
God, and goes out for sinners. It
seems sometimes as though he would
die if sinners come not to Christ.
The trustees of Mercer have given
the Tatnall Square brethren a lot off
tho Campus on which to erect a
church building. Our dear brother
Warren says this will be his last
work on earth. Ho says, “I have
laid myself on tho altar there to bo
consumed.”
May God in his great mercy spare
our brother and givo him this house
as it were a very crowning to his
life’s labors.
Bishop R. D. Mallory looks after
the Vinevillo flock. And he is
greatly beloved by his people. His
church is greatly revived and is do
ing a great work.
G. B. Taylor of good old Virginia
stock, is the faithful and much be
loved leader of the First Baptist-
Brother Taylors church is also pros
pering in tho Lord. A great revi
val has recently swept over them in
which many precious souls were
brought to Christ. This is a strong
church in which there is much
wealth. God has blessed them with
a lavish hand, given them brain
and money and opportunity. And
while they have done much, yet
much, yea a great deal more remains
to bo done. Will they use the gra
cious means in their hands?
Bishop E. J. Coates breaks the
bread of life for the East Macon
folks. Perhaps no pastor in all this
city lives more in the hearts of his
people than does tho lovely Coates.
Moses was tho meekest man and
Coates is tho next, I think. So this
accounts for his sweet amiable life
and tho strong hold ho has on his
people. Tho Master’s kingdom is
spreading out in East Macon. Last
and least of all is your humble ser
vant. Ho feels that ho is less than
the least of all tho saints and is loth
to speak of himself at all. But in
the providence of God—by a unan
imous call, by an urgent invitation
and loving appeals from these dear
brethren hero, I am the unworthy
and feeble pastor of South Macon
Baptist church. And I love my
people. Some of thorn arc as good
and noblo and amiable ns worship
under tho stars. I have a great
work before mo, a field that fairly
throbs with immortal interest. And
tlw burden and tho responsibility of
directing and leading this people to
the Savior, roll up a mighty weight
upon my heart But lam finding
lbn people out. lam meeting them
in their homes and as I come to
know them, I love them more and
more. Brethren, this is one of the
grandest fields in Georgia. Pray for
us that the Lord may pour out His
gracious spirit upon us.
Just a word more and I am done.
Soon after our arrival in this
handsome city, the first night in our
new home quite a goodly number of
my brethren gave us a genuine, old
fashioned pounding. 0, the good
things they poured down at our feet,
O, the joy that sprang into otlr
hearts.
So quickly, so unexpectedly they
came. Like so many angels of
mercy they dropped down upon us.
I have spoken of the good; at an
other time I may have something to
say of the evil of the city. The
Lord have mercy on Macon.

DR. GIBSON’S APPEAL
Atlanta, Ga., April Bth, ’93.
We have cause to be especially
grateful. Our Heavenly Father has
blessed us with the means to meet
all the financial obligations of the
State Board during the Conventional
year just closed. Our Foreign and
Home Boards have pressing claims
upon them,which it is very desirable
should be met by tho time of meet
ing of the Southern Baptist Conven
tion on the 12th of May next. These
Boards have endeavored to enlarge
their work for the two fold purpose
of meeting the wishes of the brethren
and the increasing demands of the
fields opening up all over world. Our
great Head surely,indicates his pur
pose of enlargement by giving us in
creassed numbers, increased facilities
and constantly increasing oportunies,
A faithful business-like effort all
along the line will enable the Boards
to report out of debt when the Con
vention meets. The year has been a
peculiarly trying one to the Home
Board. It started with ten-thous-»
and dollars of debt. It has paid
twenty thousand dollarson the house
of worship in Havana. It has sent
two able men to New Orleans, and
has, from necessity, enlarged its
work in other fields. It needs help
that it may close tho financial year
without debt.By special arrangement
the books of the Treasurer will be
held open so as to include contribu
tions which may be made as late
as Sunday, April 30th, if promptly
forwarded to myself or A. D. Adair,
Atlanta, Ga.*_3Vhilo the contribu
tions of Georgia Baptists for the pre
sent year for missions generally have
exceeded thoso of last year
by the amount $18,298.62 none
of the increase has been in favor
of the Home Board. It has rather
suffered loss by about $600.00.
The Indigent Ministers fund now
on hand will only meet the demands
upon it for the month of May. Why
should we not begin tho new year’s
work with renewed zeal? A little
closer business like attention to the
Master’s work will bring surprising
results. The astounding fact stares
us in the face that about twenty per
cent, of our churches give nothing
for missions.
We obtained statistics from 1498
of them for last year 335 of which
gave nothing for missions. Reports
from 1296 of them show that 25-
contributed nothing for the world’s
evangelization during this entire
year. Just think of it, 254 so-called:
Missionary Baptists churches in Ga.
who during the whole of this year,
ignored the command of our blessed
Lord to “go into all tho world and
preach the gospel to every creature.
My brother is your church one of the
254? Hear what tho Master says
“ye are my friends, if ye do whatso
ever I command you.”
Where in the Bible do we find
authority for disobedience at any
point? Wo have been taught to ob
serve all things whatsoever he com
mands. Again, how can the Christ
tian get his consent to deny himself
tho sweetest pleasure known to a
human being the pleasure as doing
his Father’s will. Why should he be
begged and urged to partiopato in a
joyous feast that he may grow fat on
good things. Strange, surprisingly
strange!

ASKED AND ANSWERED.
BY C. E. W. DOBBS.
I am a plain, old-fashioned country
Baptist, and I don’t like somethings
I see sometimes. Not long since, I
was visiting a Northern city, and I
went to a Baptist church, of course,
on Sunday. When tho preacher
arose to commence the service, the
congregation stood up also, and they
began to talk back at each other.
Rather, tbe preacher would read a
sentence or two, and the people
mumbled pomething or other out of
a little black book. I was told it
was a responsive reading, but for the
life of me, I could not tell whether
it was English or Choctaw. At the
close of this “reading,” all repeated,
or tried to repeat, in concert, the
“Lord’s prayer.” It reminded me of
the way our military companies
used to fire a salute. The guns went
off this way—“b-a-n-g—bang—bang.”
Some of the people said amen before
the rest reached the “kingdom.” I
didn’t like it. What say you?
Another thing: After preaching:
and I must say it was a real down
right good sermon, too, the preacher
said that it was intended to have
baptism, but the heating apparatus
was out of order, and the water could
not be prepared. Now, I want to
know who authorized anybody to
heat water for baptism? And why
not go to the river or creeks as they
did in New Testament times?
OLD FOGY.
Our dearly beloved brother has
chosen a fine name for himself! We
have allowed him to give full vent
to his indignant feelings. We rather
agree with Old Fogy in his protest
against the responsive reading exer
cise. The manner in which such
reading is usually done, is really
ridiculous, and would be amusing, if
it were not so connected with solemn
things. It has ever seemed to us, to
say the least, a very inappropriate
way of reading tho word of God.
Os all the services, certainly the
Scriptures should be read impressive
ly and so as to clearly bring out the
sense. Preachers should give more
attention to this part of worship. It
is a shame how some preachers do
read tho Word in public, frequently
utterly obscuring its meaning by
wrong emphasis and other gross
faults in reading. The portion to be
read should be carefully studied in
every sentence, so that when public
ly read, the thought may be accurate
ly expressed. This by the way. Re
sponsive reading can never—certain
ly we have never heard any such
reading—bring out the meaning of
the Word impressively. As to re
peating the Lord’s prayer in concert,
it may be said that the same objec
tions apply. That was never in
tended as a “form,” it was rather a
model, of prayer. Certainly the fact
that the wording varies as given by
Matthew and Luke, precludes the
idea that Jesus gave it to be repeated
verbatim either by leader or people
in worship.
As to Old Fogy’s second trouble
we must dissent from his protest.
Baptism is in water, but no specific
instructions are given as to kind or
locality. Martin Luther was once
asked: “Is it permissible to use warm
water in baptism? ” Luther replied
impulsively: “Toll the block head
that water cold or warm is
water.” Minus the uncomplimen
tary substantive “block-head,” we
commend the reply- to our brother.
There is no divine command against
using every modern convenience to
provide for the most comfortable
administration of the ordinance.
There is apostolic authority for
having all things done decently and
in order. Then our brother must
not bo so sure as to tho “rivers” and
“creeks.” True, John baptized in
the river Jordan, and it is very like
ly the Ethiopian officer was baptized
in a creek. So of Lydia, perhaps.
But there was neither river nor
creek for the baptism of the pente
costal converts in Jerusalem. Nor
is it likely that the jailer went out.
side the Phillipian prison to the
river Ganges or Strymon. Con
corning the jailer’s baptism, by tbe
way, DoWctto says the rite may
have been performed in the same
fountain or tank, in which the jailer
had washed the apostles; and Meyer,
another distinguished Belo-bap
tist commentator says: “Perhaps
tho water was in the court
of the house; and the baptism
was that of immersion, which formed
an essential part of the symbolism
of the act. (See Rom. 6:4).” The
New Testament does not require
baptism in a river, only in water.
The arrangement of details is left to
the sanctified common sense of
Christ’s people.

What does John mean by the
water and the blood in his first epis
tle? J. E. F.
The passage referred to is 1 John
5: 8. We quote from the correct
text, as given in the Revised Version:
“For there are three who bear wit
ness, the spirit, and tho water, and
the blood; and the three agree in
one.” Taking up the Roman Catho
lic English Testament, we find this
comment: “The spirit which he
yielded up, crying with a loud voice>
on the cross, and the water and the
blood which issued from his side,
bear witness to his humanity, and
are one; that is, all agree in one tes
timony.” But this is not the usual
interpretation. Some make the “wa
ter” mean Christian baptism, and
the “blood” the Lord’s supper. Cer
tainly this is rather farfetched and
unnatural. Dr. Sawtell, in the Amer
ican Commentary, says: “A careful
weighing of the entire section and
its purpose leaves hardly a doubt
that ‘water’ refers to our Lord’s bap
tism, a most important event of his
earthly manifestation, and pointing,
as John 1: 31, 33, shows, to Jesus as
the Possessor and Giver of life, and
hence the Christ. * * * The
iwater’ of his baptism symbolized the
life which he had without measure
)
or the spirit of life belonging to him,
and hence was a witness that he was
truly the Son of God.” This seems
from verse 11 to be the grand truth
which John was urging. Again Dr.
Sawtell: “By the ‘blood’ tbe death
of Christ is referred to. And John
uses the term ‘blood’ because it is
not the dying itself which is in mind>
but the life poured out, of which
blood is the symbol. * * * Christ’s
blood of sacrifice pointed to the life
he gave for men, and hence bore wit
ness to him as the Possessor and
Giver of life. Our life was in the
blood. And tbe Author of life is
the Christ.” Sawtell thinks the
(‘Spirit” here is the “Spirit, given in
connection with Christ’s coming,
both at Pentecost and as a perma
nent blessing in the church, who is
the most direct witness (John 15,26)
to the same fact that Christ is the
Source and Giver of life, and there
fore the Son of God.” It may be
noted that verse 7 and the words
“in earth” in verse 8, are omitted in
the Revised Version,as the practical
ly unanimous determination of rev.
erent critical scholarship concedes
the spurious character of those parts
of the tex t.
We cannot refrain from printing
the following very appreciative let
ter from the eminent scholar who
presides over the Crozer Theological
Seminary:
I read with great interest and
satisfaction, your answers to ques
tions in the Christian Index. You
have a clear head, a sound judgment,
and an uncommonly good understand
ing of distinctive Christian truth,
and a lucid and vigorous style. Macte

tic.” Yours very truly,

TWO REMARKS.
(1) Controversy between lion.
Alexander H. Stephens and Rev.
Henry Holcomb Tucker.
A wish is expressed in the “Index’’
of 23 inst., that if a copy of tbe above
named pamphlet can be found, it
shall be republished. I heartily join
in tbe wish. I owned a copy once
but in some way it “got away from
me-” DrJ Tucker presents in a con
cise form a mass of information to
show that Lord Baltimore was very
far from being the champion or a
champion of religious freedom. Red
path in his “history of tbe United
States” has assisted, if not directly
yet indirectly, in making the impres
sion, that Lord Baltimore and Roger
Williams were on tho same plane in
this respect. In Moro’s Geography
the same impression is made. His
geography says as follows: ‘‘Extra
ordinary scenes were at this time, ex
hibited on the colonial theaters. In
Massachusetts,the Congregationlists,
intolerant towards the Episcopalians
and every other sect; the Episcopal
church, retaliating npon them in Vir
ginia, and the Roman Catholics of
Maryland, tolerating and protecting
all.”
Is this sustained by fact? Not
that part concerning Roman Catho
lics. The following was an enact
ment at a very early period of the
Province of Maryland—“ That no
persons, professing to believe in Je
sus Christ, should be molested in re
spect of their religion, or in the free
exercise thereof, or be compelled to
the exercise of any other religion,
against their consent: so that they be
not unfaithful to the proprietary, or
conspire against the civil govern
ment. That any person molesting
another in respect of his religious
tenets, should pay treble damages to
the party aggrieved and twenty shil.
lings to the proprietary; that those
reproaching any with approbrious
names of religious distinction, should
forfeit ten shilling to the person in
juredjthat any one speaking reproach
fully against the Blessed Virgin or
the Apostles,should forfit ten pounds.
But blasphemy against God should
be punished with death.” (Benedict
Vol. 2, p. 22.)
We see that all were not protected
in the expression of their religious
views. Tho Jew was not protected.
If a person should give it as his opin
ion that the Virgin Mary cannot par
don sin, he would bo regarded as
speaking reproachfully of her. A
person also denying that the Bible is
the Word of God would be regarded
as speaking blasphemy against God.
I do not, however, contradict the
assertion of a historian, that there
were times, when some Protestants
persecuted by other Protestants
found a refuge in Maryland. But I
am not on that line. The question is,
were the laws of Maryland of such a
nature that religious freedom was
granted to all? But I did not aim
to make my remark number one as
lengthy as I have made it, so I’ll
close on this and be very brief on the
next.
2. Things somewhat mixed in is
sue of 23rd inst. On 4th page in
last column, I read “Rev. Dr. Jos.
Parker, of London, on a recent oc
casion made the following remarks
in regard to Mr Spurgeons remarka
ble power as a preacher.”
Next I read “On the Sth inst, Rev.
