ELECTION AND MISSIONS.
The Arminian school rejects the
doctrine of election in salvation but
its advocates base their claim for
recognition as ministers of the Gos.
pel on the ground that God has
chosen them as preachers, so their
doctrine disputes their claim to divine
authority. If God docs not elect
men to salvation and special work,
then he has not sent them, and if he
does elect men to salvation and
special work, then he has not sent
them, for they deny that doctrine.
A striking example of this incon
sistency is found in the discrepancy
between Watson’s teaching in his
Institutes of Christianity and his
Life of Wesley. In the former he
denies the doctrine of personal and
unconditional election in salvation,
but in the latter he bases Wesley’s
claim, or rather his claim that Wes
ley had a right to found the Metho
dist church, on the doctrine that
God created Wesley for that express
purpose. .So we have the anoma
lous condition of a church which is,
according to its leading polemic
authors, the product of personal
unconditional election, making an
organized effort to obliterate that
doctrine! I have a vision of a man
a tree, a limb, man on the limb saws
it off between himself and the tree
ring down curtain.
The Anti.mission school rejects
the doctrine that God uses instru
mentalities in doing his work, basing
their objection on the ground that
since God is immutable he does his
work uniformly and man’s obedience
neither helps nor hinders God’s
plans and purposes. But at the
same time the preachers of that great
school vehemently proclaim them
selves the only people God has chosen
and authorized to proclaim his will. If
their doctrine, that God does not
use man as an instrument to accom"
plish his will is true, God has not
sent them and they are without
divine authority. If their doctrine i 8
not true, God has not sent them, for
God sends no one to teach false
doctrine. Therefore, God has not
sent them at all.
A striking illustration of this in
consistency is found in the efforts of
anti-missionaries to establish the
non-instrumentality doctrine by the
use of instrumentalities. They go
and preach that God docs not use
preachers ; they go as volunteer mis
sionaries to tippose the doctrine that
God sends missionaries! Another
vision-man, tree, limb, saw, fall—cur
tain down.
Both are equally wrong. The
doctrine of election is true and God
docs use instrumentalities. In elec
tion God choses the end and in order
to that end he choses the agencies
and instrumentalities of its accom
plishment. The fact that God com
mands mission work, is positive proof
that God chose missionary operations
as the moans of communicating his
Gospel to men and calling them into
salvation. God elected mission work
and all the authority of God all his
attributes, is behind his command to
paeach the Gospel to every creature.
The whole universe is the product of
God’s sovereign will and election or
choice, and if the whole of it is re
sultant upon God’s election, then
all the parts of it are. Those who
oppose the doctrine of election are
equaled in error only by those who
oppose mission work, which is the
result of election. Both doctrines
arc true, and any system that ignores
either, is false and unaeriptural. Get
on the Rock. J. A. Scahboro.

May 7th, 1893. ;
Having learned that a balloon as
cension is contemplated at Oxfora
Lake on the afternoon of this, th 0
Lords day, therefore be it resolved
by the Oxford Baptist Church, that
we look with grave apprehensions
upon the increasing tendencies of
many persons to desecrate the holy
Sabbath, and with Christian charity
condemn Balloon ascensions, Base
ball games, Excursions, Picnics ami
other similar pastimes on the Sab
bath.
Be it further resolved, that while
we are friendly to the Oxford Lake
Lino and wish it the greatest degree
of success, legitimately: we must
condemn the part its ollicials took in
advertising and otherwise encourag
ing the desecration of the day, a day
which does not belong to man in anv
sense.
Resolved further, that a copy of
these resolutions be presented to the
Oxford Lake Line.
Done in Conference by almost a
unanimous rising vote of the church
and congregation.

ASKED AND ANSWERED-
BY C. E. W. DOBBS.
Dear Dr. Dobbs: I have seen it
stated that where Job says “plunge
me in the ditch,” the original word
is the same as “baptizo.” Is this so?
I mentioned this to a Methodist min
ister the other day, and he said the
original was not Greek at all, but
Hebrew, At the same time he in
sisted that “baptizo,” in Greek, did
not mean dip, because Daniel says
Nebuchadnezzar was “wet with the
dew of heaven,” using the Greek
word “baptize;” and “dew,” he said,
“falls on one,” etc. I would like to
know the truth about this.
G. H. T.
The passage in Job (9: 31) reads:
“Thou shalt plunge me in the ditch.’’
Os course the original is Hebrew
not Greek, and the same is true of
Daniel. Job has the Hebrew word
“tabal,” which means dip. See Lev-
II :6. Num. 19: 18; Deut. 33: 24;
Ruth 2 : 14 ; 1 Sam. 14 : 27, and
elsewhere.
While your Methodist friend was
correct in saying the original of Job
was Hebrew, yet it is true that there
was a Greek version of the Old Tes
tament, made by Jewish scholars
more than two hundred years before
Christ, called the “Septuagint.” In
that version the Greek-speaking Jews
ish scholars translated “tabal” by
“bapto,” and in one place (2 King
-5 : 14) by “baptizo.” So it is “bap
to,” and not “baptizo,” which trans
lates “tabal” in Job 9:31. The one
place where “baptizo” occurs is very
striking. It tells us that “Naarnan
dipped himself in Jordan.” It is
certainly very strange that the Jew
ish translators should have used this
Greek word if it did not mean to
dip!
As to the passage in Daniel your
Methodist friend was mistaken, for
the Septuagint has “bapto”-—not
“baptizo”—in two places, 4: 33 and
5: 21. Neither is it true that “dew
falls;” it is formed by the condensa
tion of the moisture of the atmos
phere.
Nebuchadnezzar’s body was not
“wet” by a few drops coming down
upon him, but by his being enveloped
in the moist atmosphere of the
night. The Septuagint has><“in the
dew”—“en” with the datiye. Any
one can see that the primary meaning
of “bapto,” to di|t, is not lost in this
case. makes jhis.
say: “A cold shuddering dew dips
me all over.” The Scottish Burns
writes: “Yon rose buds in the morn
ing dew.” And a fugitive poem in
my scrap book has this couplet.
‘Sweet., aweet r«w buds
Bathed in dew,”
Should a pastor resign because a
few members “think a change desir
able ?” TIMOTHY.
“Timothy” says he is a young min
ister in the third year of his first,
pastorate. He finds “some opposi
tion on the part of three or four
members,” because they disagree
with him “concerning some of his
plans of church work.” Ah, brother,
you have asked us a hard question
It is impossible to give advice in
such a matter unless one knows all
the facts in the case. There is prob
ably no church in any city or town,
pi which there are not some members
who “think a change desirable” in its
pastorate that is, of course, where
the pastor has served two or more
years. We once heard Dr. Broadus
say that he did not know a church
anywhere, all of whose members
were united in sustaining its pastor !
It is said that Dr. Williams, the “old
shepherd” of Baltimore, who has
served the First Church in that city
the past forty-five years, contends
that when any members become dis.
satisfied and begin to oppose the
pastor, the church should promptly
“give them letters of dismission!’’
But that remedy would not work
very well in small town churches,
however well it might answer in a
city filled with Baptist churches-
Still it does seem to us that chur
ches should protect their pastors
from unreasonable and factious op
position on the part of offended or
fault-finding members. In the ma
jority of cases those same members
would soon “disagree” with a new
pastor as they do with the present
one. Much prudence and grace are
necessary in dealing with such ques
tions. Wo sincerely sympathize with
our friend Timothy, and trust both
ho and his church may have the Holy
Spirit's light and guidance.
Wo had written thus far when we j
saw the following paragraph from
the pen of our honored brother, Dr
Bailey, of the Biblical Recorder:
Again, much trouble comes to the j
pastor as the result of parents con
stantly and lightly criticising him , in
the presence of their children, and
perhaps, younpor members of the i

church. Your boy may be wayward’
and you may really' desire h ; s salva
tion; but you unmercifully criticise
your pastor to-day at the dinner
table, and tomorrow when he meets
your boy on the street and tries to
talk to him about his soul he does
not receive his advances kindly, and
when he again goes to church he
takes, as you have taught him, the
“seat of the scornful,” and worries
the good man all through his sermon
by joining the “giggling band,” and
by making fun of the man he and
I they ought to respect. Good people
. sometimes attempt to justify them-
I selves in pursuing this course by
saying they are in “favor of a change
of pastors,” and they suppose others
know it. Well, this may be so; but
as long as a proper majority sustain a
pastor, and he as a conscientious serv
ant of Christ thinks he is doing right
by remainingin charge of the church,
it is your duty to treat him with
courtesy and respect. Any other
course on your part shows that you
have a poor conception of the past-
I toral relation. It is an undoubted
fact that any pastor with clear cut
ideas, and with the courage to ex
press them clearly, will generally, at
the end of a few years, (sometimes
at the end of one), have one or more
in the congregation who may reach
the conclusion that they “prefer an
other pastor,” and if all of the “ag
grieved ones” adopt the policy above
indicated, then pastoral troubles,
already numerous enough, would
multiply, and pastoral changes be
come more frequent. How short
sighted even some good people are!
You should love your pastor more
for having the courage to tell you of
your faults.
And here is rather a humorous
incident which relates how a certain
“resigned” pastor left his people.
In his farewell sermon he said there
were three reasons why he had re
signed: 1. Brethren, you do not
love me; if you did, you would pay
me my salary. 2. You do not love
one another; if you did, there would
be more weddings and less light*
ing. 3. The Lord does not love
you; if he did, there would be more
funerals.
ALWAYS WILLING TO ASSIST-
It is a sad fact that many of our
churches do not see the importance
of the Sunday-school. It is estimated
that there are thousands of such
churches without Sunday -shools

THE PROGRESSOF GEORGIA.
Her Advance in Ten Years
Has Been Marvelous.
governor northen points out her
MANY ADVANTAGES. NATURAL
RESOURCES THAT ARE INEXHAUS
TIBLE. PERFECT CLIMATE AND A
VERY FERTILE SOIL.
(Written for the Baltimore News’World's Fair
Southern Edition.)
Atlanta, Ga., May i, 1893.
I am asked to give a brief review
of the progress of Georgia during
the past 10 years, of her resources
as they are today, and to hazard a
surmise as to her possibilities in the
near future.
To portray adequately her mater
ial progress in the last decade and
to review her vast natural resources
would require a volume of descrip
tion and statistics; while to fore
cast her great possibilities would
demand the gift pf prophecy.
To begin with her progress : Ten
years ago Georgia was impover
ished. Like her sister states of the
South, she had' not yet recuperated
her wealth or her energies. What
the war had spared, the spoliation
of carpet-baggers had swept away.
It was not until after 1876 that the
state began to recover from these
twin disasters. Since 1880 her mater
ial development has been rapid, and
her social and intellectual progress
has been marvelous.
In 1865, Georgia owned but $120,-
000,000 in personal and real prop
erty. In 15 years she had not only
doubled this amount, although it
was a period of pbcnoininal ad
vonce in all values.
In 1883, when wc must begin
our decade, her real and personal
property amounted to $285,000,000
in round numbers. In 1884 it was
$295,000,000; in 1885, $299,000,-
°°o; in 1886, $306,000,000 ; in 1887,
$317, 000,000 ; in 1888, $328,000,000 ;
in 1889, $346,000,000; in 1890,
$377,000,000; in 1891, $402,000,-
000; in 1892, $421,000,000. Her
other properties, not included in
the above, will bring her wealth to
more than half a billion dollars. So
that in ten years her real and per
sonal property has nearly doubled
in value. In the same period her
population has grown from 1,600,-
000 to 2,000,000. Wc can thus see
that, while the increase in popula
tion has been great (25 per centum)
the increase in wealth has been
four times as great, or 100 per
cent.
In this increase all classes have
shared equally. The farm lands
have nearly doubled in value, in
creasing from $96,000,000 in 1882,
to $132,000,000 in 1892. The prop
erty of Negroes has increased from
in 1882, to $15,000,000 in
The railroad property in the state
has increased at the rate of 250 per
centum, or from about $18,000,000
in 1882, to about 43,000,000 in 1892.
So much for the general increase
of wealth, which may be set down
as 100 per centum in the decade, or
at a rate of four times the increase
of population.
These values, be it remembered,
are the values as set down for pur
poses of taxation. The real values
are at least two and a half to three
times as much.
In regard to manufactures: In
1882 Georgia had not more than
$3,000,000 invested in cotton mills.
In 1592 her investment in cot
ton manufacturing is not less
than $12,000,000, or an increase of
400 per centum. Today Georgia
has more money in spindles and
looms than any other southern
state.
In iron manufactures in 1892 she
had not more than half a million
invested. Today she has not less
than $2,000,000 or an increase of
400 per centum.
Mining interests have increased
in like proportion, growing from
about SIOO,OOO in 1882 to about
$3,000,000 in 1892.
The manufacturing and mining
interests of the state may be set
down as showing an increase of
from 300 to 400 per centum, for
from 12 to 16 times as much as the
growth of population in the same
period.
The increase in the commerce of
the state may be judged from the
development ’of trade at the sea
ports. In Savannah exports have
increased more than .fifty per
centum, and imports more than 60
per centum ; while at the smaller
port of Brunswick, where the
growth of traffic was naturally
more rapid, the increase has been
600 per centum in five years, or
from $1,700,000111 1885, to $10,600,•
000. in IS9O, the only period in
which figures may be given.
The natural resources of the state
are manifold and exhaustless. The
hills of Georgia are ribbed with
iron and marble; and this great
natural wealth lies ready at hand
awaiting only the time when it
will be appropriated and utilized bv
man. The Marietta and North
Georgia Railway has its roadbed
resting upon marble of a quality fit
to ornament the Pitti Palace or the
gallery of the Louvre. Iron ores
are found in exhaustless beds all
over the northern section of the
state. Extensive coal fields are
found in Northwest Georgia ; cor
undum and abestos in the north
east ; building stone and slate ia vast
abundance, fire-clay, beauxite and
a dozen other minerals and mater
ials used in trades and arts are to
be found in paying qualities. In
the southern part of the state are
phosphates and marl for the man
ufacture of fertilizers. Gold has
been mined continuously in the
northern part of Georgia fora hun
dred years, and the national mint
have coined millions of dollars from
the mines of the state. The gold
mines are now being successfully
worked, and there is a vast store of
this most precious of metals in the
soil of the state.
From end to end of the state
stretch valuable forests of timber,
hickory, oak, and pine. All of her
woods are valuable but the “yellow
pine” of her virgin forestsis famous
the world over. It is used for more
purposes, perhaps than any timber
in the world. The curled pine—
found in occasional, “cuts” of tim
ber—is one of the most beautiful
and durable of ornamental woods.
The car sills of the country are
largely made of Georgia pine, while
the “frame house” and cottage of
the poor and the comfortable man
sion of the rich are alike made
from the yellow pine of Georgia.
The forests are still apparently ex
haustless, and where they have
been decimated, a later care has
spared (he young growth and new
forests are springing up to enrich
the coming generation. It is said
that more money is invested in
in pine manufactory and in
various industries connected with
it, than in any other industry of
the state.
Two of Georgia’s great natural
resources should not be overlooked.
They are her climate and her soil.
Nurtured by her productive soil,
and tempered by her sun, the fruits
of the state are proving to be a
great source of wealth, rivaling her
minds and her forests. Lands that
were on the market a few years
ago for $lO an acre, are now yield
ing in peaches and grapes a profit
of stoo an acre. Millions of peach
trees and mlliions of grapevines
have bean planted within the last
10 years, and fortunes have been
made and the value of the lands
has frequently advanced as much
as 1,000 per centum. To her soil
and climate are due also the great
variety in our crops and farming
resources. We can raise with
profit everything raised in the north
from horses and Jerseys to clover
and potatoes, and we can raise doz
ens of crops unknown in the North
and West. With our propitious
seasons, we can ship peaches and
strawberries to New York before
the snow has melted from the hills
of New England.
Another great natural resource is
the net-work of streams, which af
ford a great number of sites for
manufacture and a vast power to
be utilized.' As an illustration, the
water-power of the Chattahoochee
river, near Atlanta, may be taken.
Lowell, Mass., has spent more than
a million dollars improving her
waterpower, which now runs about
$14,000,000 of machinery and sup
ports 17,000 operatives; and vet
her waterpower is not two-thirds
that of the Chattahoochee river
near Atlanta, while the Chatta
hoochee is never blocked with ice.
What is true of this river, is true of
others, and in less degree, of thou
sands of streams that rush from the
foothills and spurs of the Blue
Ridge.
The progress of intellectual things
should also be taken into account.
Within every county education has
been made free and placed within
reach of every home. Illiteracy has
decreased, and the people every
where are availing themselves of the [
new advantages. Our intellectual |
progress has been fully as great as j
our material progress; but it can
not be reduced to figures and per
cents.
M hat must be said as to the pos
sibilities of a patriotic and indus
trious and an energetic people amid
such lavish wealth of nature, and
in such a climate, and possessors of
such a soil? Everything is possi
ble. The rate of progress made by
Georgia in the past ten years, if
merely maintained, would soon
place her in the front rank of our
states. But the signs of the times
point to even greater development,
greater utilization of her resources,
and to a greater advance along
every line. Immigrants, fleeing
from the wrath to come, fleeing
alike from anarchy and despotism,
fleeing from ice and snow, fleeing
from pestilence and famine, will
seek her fruitful soil and her sunny
fields. Her abandoned farm lands,
where the plow was left for the
sword and the pruning-hook for the
bayonet, will be cultivated and
yield abundant harvests. Her vine
yards and her peach orchards shall
be as famous as the gardens of Sic
ily in ancient, or the Guernsey in
modern times; and will send their
fruitage to delight distant and less
happy lands. Her streams will be
busier than the waters that turn the
spindles of Lowell, and her mineral
wealth will be converted into those
great nerves of peace and war—
“iron and gold.’’
Such will be, I am assured, the
future of this happy people. They
are working out their destiny with
patience but with thoroughness;
and, despite the lowering of occa
sional clouds, they can see the
dawning of their day.
As they have striven, so may they
enjoy the rich fruits of their la
bors.
If you, who have done so much
for the dissemination of reliable
information concerning the South,
can aid us in hastening this time
by reporting our cause aright, you
