Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov t Report
absolutely pure
JUST LIKE TENNILLE.
On the evening of the 13th in
stant, the members of the Baptist
church at Tennille, gave their pas
tor a substantial demonstration of
their devotions by an old fashion
house warming. And it was a house
warming in the fullest sense of the
word. It was warm with love —
love to the self-sacrificing pastor
and his devoted family, love for
one another, love for the blessed
Master, and shall I add, love too
for the tempting dainties so bounti
fully spread upon the table.' Again
it was warm with bright faces and
sociable enjoyment ; warm with
artistic music and song ; warm with
an endless variety of useful house
hold presents ; among which were
barrels of flour, sacks of flour,
barrels of sugar, coffee, tea, hams,
sausages, pickles, canned goods, etc.
Dr.Jßeck has been serving this
church for the last fifteen years,
and has constantly grown in its
affections till now the bond of love
as pastor and people is insepara
ble.
While Dr. Beck is a model pastor
and preacher, he, in common with
many others, owes his success
largely to his wife.
Another feature of this house
warming, was not confined
to the immediate membership
of his church. All denominations
and even non professors turned out
and heartily joined his own flock
in their expressions ofjlove and ap
preciation.
When Dr. Beck took charge here
fifteen years ago they had no house
in which to worship, and about
twelve members. Now they have
a splendid house with a seating
capacity of about five hundred, and
a membership of about 200.
This church is doing more per
haps, for missions, charity, etc.,
than any church in Georgia com
pared to its membership. Many
of the members, influenced by the
example of their pastor, and the
teachings of the word, give regu
larly one-tenth of their income,
and as a result the church is in
a healthy financial condition and
these members are prosperous in
their business.
Truly a pastor is blessed who is
backed in his work by so noble a
band of self sacrificing members.

DR. HARTMAN ON CATARRH-
THIt FALLACY OF CATAKItII CUKES
EXPLAINED.
The serious mistake which so
many people make in the treatment
of catarrh is, that chronic catarrh is
regarded as a local disease and not
a systemic disease. If the patient
has catarrh of the nose or throat,
sprays and gargles are used;
if the catarrh is in the larnyx or
bronchial tubes, inhalents are used;
if the catarrh is in the stomach med
icine is swallowed; if the catarrh is
i'i the bladder or urethra, injections
are resorted to; hoping in each case
to cure the disease by applying the
medicine to the exact spot where the
disease is located.
While it is a fact that sprays, in
halations, gargles and injections are
often helpful in the treatment of
a case of catarrh they can never ac
complish a cure. Catarrh is a dis
ease of the system, which manifests
itself in some mucous mabrane
oftenest of the nose, throat, bron
chial tubes or lungs, but frequently
of the stomach and bowels, and again
of the urinary and sexual organs.
A persistent use of Pe-ru-na accord
ing to the directions on the bottle
will remove the catarrhal taint from
the system, after wich the diseased
part, wherever located will soon re
cover. That this is the correct theory
of the treatment of catarrh is amply
proven by the multitude of testimo
nials that are constantly pouring in
from all parts of the country.
It is needless to attempt to give
only the vaguest outline of the won
derful success which Pe-ru-na has
met with in the cure of catarrh.
This success is entirely due to the
fact that Pe-ru-na eradicates the dis
eases from the system, instead of the
temporarily relieving some disagree
able symptoms. Not only is catarrh
in all stages and varieties cured
promptly, but also colds, coughs,
bronchitis, la grippe, catarrhal dys
pepsia, all yield, surely and perma
nently to the curative virtues of Pe
ru-na.
A valuable treatise on catarrh by
Dr. Hartman sent free to any ad
dress by The Pe-ru-na Drug Man
ufacturing Company of Columbus,
Ohio.
Columbus Before this reaches
you, you will have learned of the
death of Rev. C. C. Willis, who
breathed his last about 8 o’clock,
on the morning of the eighth day of
the present month. Had he have
lived a few weeks longer he would
have been eighty-five years old.
Long and lovingly has he served
in the kingdom of his Master, and
now comes to his grave in full age,
“like a shuck of corn cometh in bis
season.”
For five or more years he had
been in failing health, and for the
last three years, he has been almost
entirely unable to attend church, or
serve at all in the ministerial office.
Hence the writer has had the honor
of serving in his stead he retaining,
however, the regular pastoral office.
Holding the relation therefore, to him
and the church he has held as pastor
for a little more than fifty-two years,
it seems becoming that I should
say a few words about him who has
so earnestly and successfully served
in the vineyard of his Lord. His
obituary however, must be left to a
more gifted pen.
Our aged brother has long been
familiarly known all over Georgia,
and extensively known in the ad
joining States. An account of his
funeral was forwarded you this
morning from our ministers con
ference. It was one of considera
ble interest, when we consider how
these who had long known and
loved l.im pressed their way for
miles, some on the cars and some in
buggies and other vehicles, through
fast falling rain to pay him this last
debt of affection. His administra
tion of kindness had not been limited
to his own race, and so, the colored
people Hocked to the scene to pay
their last tribute ot respect to their
friend and benefactor.
This man of God, with an humble
beginning in life, gained for hirnsel
a reputation to be coveted by thous
ands who possessed advantages far
superior to his. While some with
metoric light have suddenly blazed
into prominence they have as sud
denly disappeared. But here is a man,
who like a fixed star, has shed his
steady light for fourscore years and
more, to bless the generation in
which he lived.
If we all can’t be great, we can
by grace, be good and faithful and
true. It was thus our venerable
brother gained a place on the roll of
honor among the saints of God. And
while the casket once occupied by
his fervent spirit, sleeps in the old
church yard so near the sacred place
where his voice for thousands of
times has sounded forth the gospel
of love and of warning, his influence
will live to bless the generation
which succeeds him—“He being
dead yet speaketh.”
Surely there never was a man
blessed with a more faithful wife,
more loving and attentive daughters,
kinder and more thoughtful sons,
more numerous and considerate
friends, than the subject of this im
perfect sketch. To all of whom I
would say ; “Sorrow not as others
who have no hope. For if we be
lieve that Jesus died and rose again,
even so then also which sleep in
Jesus will God bring with him.”

MY OHKISIMAS DREAM.
[A good Bister sends us the follow
ing poem, the author being a son of
our good brother, Rev. T. J. Swan
son, at Covington,Ga. He should let
his muse gladden our readers often.
—Ed.]
1 stood on a hill In the morning
In a country far away,
And the eastern skies were glowing
With the light of a coming day.
Reside me stood a creature
Whose face was wondrous fair
As the purple light of the morning
Lay on her dazzling hair.
Iler brow was fairer than lilies,
Softer than music her breath,
And she wore at her jewelled girdle
The keys of life and death.
And 10l like a golden censer
That swung from the heavens afar
To the tips of her gleaming Coronet
Descended a wonderful star.
In a voice like that of an angel
She softly whispered to me
I’ve called thee herein a vision
And thou shalt come and see
The fate of the countless millions
Who pass from life’s grand stage—
The heroes and would be heroes
Os every clime and age.
At a wave of her regal sceptre
The air was filled with song
And the shining paraphernalia
Ot a gay ami glittering throng.
In their hands were the paiins of con
querors
Their raiment was purple and gold;
And the light of the stars shone over
them
With a splendor and glory untold.
Behold, she said, God s heroes
The meek and lowly of earth,
Who bravely bore life’s burdens
On highway, field and hearth:
And when they saw one toiling
Along the dusty plain
Withheld not the "cup of water”
That quenched the fires of pain.
Who raised the faint and fallen
Scorned by worldly pride,
And made the blood of manhood pulse
In hearts where hope had died:
With hearts forever thrilling,
With love’s electric flame,
They bore sweet consolation
To the dying, “in His name.”
At a nod of her glittering helmet
They quickly vanished away,
And a host of mythical creatures
Swept by in silent array.
On each brow was the stamp of passion
Ambition and avarice and hate,
And the seal of the boundless power
That doomed to a horrible fate.
These, she said arc the victors
From the world’s great field of strife,
Who moved intlie storm of the conflicts
That scoffed at human life;
From Fame’s fair golded temple
'Die world’s mad pomp and state,
From every field where mortals strive
To wrest renown from fate.
Even while she was speaking
They faded from my sight,
And she plumed her gorgeous pinions
For and everlasting flight;
The star grew dim and distant
And darkness veiled its beams
And my fancy ceased to wander
Alone in the realm of dreams.
But I knew that the shining angel
Who passed from mortal ken
Was the spirit of Christian charity
That dwells in the hearts of men;
And the star of the golden glory
That shed its light on them
Was the star of song and story —
The star of Bethlehem.
—T. L. Swanson

Aonia. —I have read with pleasure the
last Index and feel that 1 must say
something commendatory of it. While
the paper, upon the whole, is good there
are a few things 1 desire to call especial
attention to.
First, brother Hawthorne’s sermon on
the sin of the Nation. I think lie has
come nearer hitting the mark than any
thing, in my humble judgement, that
has been said about the cause of our na
tional troubles. Dishonesty is certainly
occupying a high position with the peo
ple now and controling them to an alarm
ing extent. 1 thank God for brother
Hawthorne and his sermon, and trust he
and all of God’s ministers may have
grace to fight sin until our people return
to God and acknowledge him as the su
preme law maker and ruler of all things.
Second, comes brother Solomon’s
church discipline. I want to take him
by the hand and thank him, and say to
him your article|is sound and I hope our
churches may soon have a revival on this
important teaching of God’s word. If
our members will not by formative dis
cipline come up to the requirements of
them, by the word of God, let corrective
discipline take its place and cut off the
dead and useless members from our
churches.
Third—l am glad brother Bernard is
awakening our people on the deacon
question. Keep the the up, my brother.
God is blessing your labors and I pray
he may bless you more abundantly. I
must say I enjoyed a previous article
from brother B, about the oat sowing
and the horse. Brethren let us sow all
the seed we can while we have opportu
nity, for the time will come when wo
will enjoy the fruits of our labors a great
deal more than the horse will eating his
oats next summer.
Fourth, comes brother Walker with
glad tidings from Missouri. May the
time soon come when we can have glad
tidings from all over our land and it can
truthfully be said our people have drawn
nearer to God.
Fifth. To all my ministerial brethren
who are out of active work for the Mas
ter, I offer my sympathy, realizing what
it is to preach twenty-three years almost
every Lord’s day and now having no
regular work. 1 want to say to all un
emyloyed preachers do the best you can,
work in the Sabbath-School prayer meet
ing doing “whatsoever your hands find
to do.” , , ,
Finally let us all employed and un
employed preachers labor earnestly that
Zion may travail speedily trusting God
and relying on his promises,
J. A. Shank.

It seems from the Chicago papers
that the laboring classes have organized
a new church in that city. It is to be
known as the “Modern church” and one
of the members gives as its purpose to
establish a central building which would
provide lecture and entertainment
rooms, a coffee palace, baths, a gymna
sium, etc., as well as facilities for re
ligious services. It would be on the
teetotums in London, which provide
comfortable meeting and recreation
center for working men and offer the
most perfect substitute for the saloon.
Meantime, he said, the church would
meet every second Sunday afternoon at
Bricklayers’ Hall and the services would
be conducted by popular preachers
from all the churches in turn, arrange
ments having been made for “pulpit
supply” during the next four months.

Macon. —The Sunday School Conven
tion of the Rehoboth Association met
with the Montezuma Baptist church on
Feb. 9th, 10th and 11th.
Quite a nice delegation was present—
more than one-half of the schools being
represented. Dr. W. A. Nelson and Mr.
J. J. Whitfield, of Hawkinsville, and Mr.
Jno. E. Howell, of Vienna, were among
the visiting brethren. From the very
opening the spirit of the Lord was with
us, and the burning words and tearful
eyes bespoke the earnestness of the
workers. Each subject was faithfully
discussed ; many good, practical ideas
being advanced that will be helpful; but
through it all, there ran the one idea,
and that was the reaching out after lost
perishing souls. The Montezuma church
will feel its influence for many days to
come, and eternity alone will reveal the
good the convention accomplished.
It is our intention to hold another
convention in three or four months.
Please pray the Lord to direct us to the
place where it will do the most good.
We regret that all the Sunday-schools
were not represented with good delega
tions. Brethren, of the Rehoboth Asso
ciation, the night is far spent and dawn
is approaching. Let us put our should
ers together and heart to heart, and hand
in hand let us labor for the upbuilding
of our association and for the salvation
of thousands of lost ones in our midst.
Will you help ?
The president desires to thank every
one who attended and all who aided the
cause. He especially desires to thank
the good people of Montezuma who so
kindly and hospitably entertained us.
It is our prayer that God will shower
blessings upon that people.
Yours in the work,

From the'Hon. S. A. Clay, President of the Georgia Senate.
Atlanta, Ga., November 7th, 1892.
Mr. F. L. Fkeyer—Mv Dear Sir:
The Kranich & Bach Piano you sold me ten years ago has proved a won
derful instrument. It is a marvel of durability and is to me the “Sweetest
of all Pianos.” Since it was purchased it has never needed repairing, and
to-day is better in every respect than when new, for its tone —like that of a
fine violin—actually improves with age. The explanation of this is, that
it is a perfectly constructed instrument. Its lovely tones, full, resonant,
brilliant and liquid, have been a constant delight, and all who have touched
its keys have only words of praise. It is my conviction, that the Kranich
& Bach is the ne plus ultra of Pianos, and I feel I cannot recommend them
too highly to my friends. Respectfully, S. A. CLAY.
