ASKED AND ANSWERED.
BY C. E. W. DOBBS, D.D.
Dear Brother Please reply through
your Asked and Answered column to
the following questions: If a member of
a Baptist church embraces the doctrine
of •sanctification,” and has regular
weekly prayer-meetings at his own
home of the so called ' Holiness" peo
pie, ami preaching by a woman of that
faith, at his house on the same day
and hour of -service at his own church
near enough to hear the prayers, to say
nothing of the singing; and finally
communes with a Methodist church,
having previously joined the “Alliance”
in New York, what do yon think would
be the duty of a Baptist church towards
such a member? And please give ns
your opinion on Divine Healing, and
how you deal with the sanctification el
ement in your churches in Georgia if
you have any? two SISTERS.
Such a “Baptist as the one described
by these two sisters has evidently ceased
to be “of us ” We cannot conceive of a
true Biptist being guilty of conduct so
productive of discord, to say nothing of
its want of respect for the church he
professes to be a member of. Exclusion
ih a sad necessity sometimes But what
else can a church do with such a mem
her? He has embraced a “heresy”
which is among the most hurtful of the
many modern departures from the
teaching of the New Testament, while
his conduct, as described by our corre
sp<indents, is so entirely out of harmony
with faithfulness to covenant obliga
tions as to leave scarcely any choice in
the case to the church.
2. As to ' divine healing, ” so much has
been said in this department during the
past year that we think our readers
must be tired of the subject. Yet we
I will say that every believer in the pres
ent provi lence of God must recognize
his providential care for his sick ones.
In caring for our sick we should never
forget to ask God’s blessing on the rem
edies resorted to and the means used for
their restoration to health. James en
courages prayer for the sick, while at
the same time he sanctions the use of
recognized therapeutic agencies, among
which ancient healing art rega ded oil
as very valuable And we know that
Paul advised Timothy to resort to prop
er treatment for his disordered stomach,
and on one occasion was compelled to
leave his sick f riend behind. Evidently
the great apostle had not advanced as
far in “faith” and “piety” as the mod
ern fanatics who discard all human rem
edies and argue that we “should simply
trust God for healing.” Such “trust” is
not faith at all—only presumption.
1. What is the “holiness doctrine of
the Methodists," and wherein is it nn
scriptural?
2. In John 17:12 Christ says: “All
thou hast given me 1 have kept, and
none of them is lost save the son of per
dition, that the Scripture might be ful
filled.” Did he mean that Judas (if he
is the one intended) was given to him in
the same st use that the others were?
J. S. F.
1. It is hard to answer this question
briefly. The Methodists are themselves
divided in opinion concerning the mat
ter. Wesley and his brethren taught
what is known as the doctrine of
“Christian perfection”— by which they
meant that the Christian may reach in
this life a state of sanctification in which
he is fully conformed to the will of
Christ in thought and life. The doc
trine is variously explained, but that is
the substance of it. It is set forth au
thoritatively in the Methodist standards
of to-day as positively as it w’as by Wes
ley or Fletcher. We presume all ortho
dox Methodists believe such perfection
possible to the believer here. But there
are a large number of Methodists who
» teach an extravagant perversion of this
doctrine, and there are thousands of
Methodists who do not indorse the lat
ter. The extremists teach that we may
enter into the state of absolute holy per
fection, not by the gradual sanctifying
work of grace in our hearts, but by a
sort of “second blessing" to be received
suddenly, and which may be as sudden-
I ly lost. They are troublers in Zion,and
we believe are by their fanaticism and
ignorant rantings doing far more harm
than good. The Scripture teaches that
we grow into perfection—we do not
• jump into it at a bound, any more than
' a babe becomes a man simply by willing
to be a man The New Testament
teaches that we are to be finally con
formed to the image of our Lord, but it
does not teach that such conformity is
to be attained this side of the sight of
the glorified Christ. (1 J0hn3:14.) The
so called “holiness" advocates are doing
harm in that they have either a very
high view of their own attainments as
believers, or a very low view- of the
standard of holiness required by thegos
pel. Our experience with such people
has been disappointing, for we have
found them singularly imperfect and ig
norant of the Scriptures.
2. The passage does not say ' save" the
son of perdition. The word is not ex
ceptive, but adversative. Jesus said:
“None of Hum is lost; but the eon of per
dition is lost. ” Judas does not seem to
be included in the ones given to Christ;
on the contrary he is distinguished from
them by the use of the adversative par
tide. See a similar use of the particle
, in Luke 4 -.25,27, where the contrast is
between the widows in the land of Is
real and the widow in the strange land,
Zarephath, and between the lepers in
Israel and the Syrian leper. In these
cases the word cannot be exceptive. So
in Gal. 1:19,it is not intended that James
was the exception among the apostles,
but that he was one seen by Paul dis
tinct from the apostles, for that James
was not an apostle at all. Judas was
clearly a devil from the beginning.
(John 6:70,71.)
Bro Dobbs: The Baptists —because
they hold to' unconditional election ’ are
sometimes charged with being fatalists.
What is the real difference— in a theolog
ical sense between “unconditional
election” and fatalism ?
J. H. o.
“Unconditional election” is not a Bi
ble phrase. We do read of the “pur
pose of God according to election” and
of the “election of grace.” We are said
to have been “chosen" (elected) before
the foundation of the world. Christians
are the “elect.” (Mark 13:20; Rom.
9:11; 11:5; Eph. 1:4; 2 Tim. 2:10; 1 Pet.
1:2; 2:9.) God has not revealed to us
the grounds upon which he chose or
elected us. We do know-, however,
that all who truly believe in Jesus as
their personal Saviour are elect. We
know further that everywhere in the
New Testament men are addressed as
capable of exercising repentance to
wards God and faith towards our Lord
Jesus Christ. There is no hint that we
are chained victims of an inexorable fa
talism. On the contrary the implication
in the warnings, commands, exhorta
tions and promises of the sacred writers,
is that men are free to choose the good
or the evil. Hence we must dismiss at
the outset all idea of fatalism. What
ever else may be true, beyond all ques
tion it is true that God's election is ac
cording to righteousness. God cannot
be unjust, either in his purposes or his
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX : THURSDAY, MAY 7 1896.
acts of grace. When theologians speak
of “unconditional election" they simply
mean that God’s choice of his people
was not conditioned open any merit in
them The veiy idea of grace excludes
merit as its condition of bestowal. What
is of merit is of debt, and therefore can
not be of grace. (Rom. 4:4; 11:6; 2 Tim.
1:9.) But nowhere does the New Testa
ment teach that God’s grace ignores the
human will or renders unnecessary the
free choice of. Christ as Saviour on the
part of the sinner. Thus election does
not involve fatalism. It is true that
some hyper-Calvinists have taught a
doctrine of predestination and election
which it is impossible to distinguish
from fatalism, but such is not true of
the Calvinistic view entertained in the
main by Baptists. Among religionists
probably the Mahommedans carry the
doctrine of fatalism to the furthest ex
treme. With them everything that can
happen is ' kismet”—that is, fated, or
decreed by fate. But that ia not Chris
tian theology.
How can yen say that Methodists
“preach ( hri-t faithfully" when they
leave out or deny anything which Christ
did for the believer? O. H. J.
What we meant wan that our Metho
dist brethren do preach Christ as the
sinner's only Saviour. They do preach
his blood as the only price of redemp
tion. They preach repentance and faith
as the conditions upon which God par
dons the sinner. So far as we hear or
read their sermons, all the denomina
tions ermmonly called evangelical
preach the fundamental truths of the
gospel, however mistaken some of them
may be concerning minor matters. For
example, a man may be very wrong
about falling from grace or infant bap
tism, and yet be a child of God, and
faithfully preach the way of salvation
by grace through faith. One can do
this without fully comprehending the
whole system of Christian theology.
Some one whose name escapes us asks
where he can procure copies of a hymn
book known as the “Christian Harmo
ny” (we believe that is the name). We
have no knowledge of the book referied
to, but presume it is out of print, as are
most of the hymn books published a
generation ago. A real good book for
prayer-meetings and Sunday-schools '8

Dear Bro. Dobbs: How can miracles
be reconciled with the reign of law in
the material world? In my study of
natural science it seems to me that we
meet a real difficulty right here, and one
which I cannot solve. In our class room
recently this question was asked Profes
sor , and he said he could not
answer it, and that it was none of his
business to try to do so. “That’s tie
theologian’s business,” said he. How
would you reply to a skeptic who sug
! gested such a point? STUDENT.
In general terms we would say to such
a skeptic, that if God is, then we have
an adequate explanation of miracles
J Further we would say that no theory of
natural science is tenable which leaves
, no place for the God of science in his
universe. There is no reign of law
, which shackles the arm of the Law
giver. Reason should teach us that if
there is a God endowed as we believe
- the God of the Scriptures to be, he can
work miracles if he chooses to do so.
' Any other view is both unreasonable
and unscriptural. The trend of thought
among scientists of the highest order is
steadily away from the bald materialis
tic philosophy which a short time since
' threatened to sweep away faith in the
supernatural and spiritual. The reac
tion is decided, and the best minds even
’ among “natural scientists” are admit
, ting that the phenomena witnessed in
the realm of the mental and spiritual are
just as real and worthy of consideration
as are the phenomena of the material
’ world. Given the idea of God and all
• else is reasonable. Miracles rest upon
J e ridence of their occurrence just as other
facts do.

RHODES. Geo. Franklin Rhodes
wan born in Oglethorpe county March
29, 1824; was tnairieu to Patience A.
Shivers Dec. 29, 1849; joined Williams
Creek Baptist church, Warren county,
when a young man; was made a deacon
by Elim Baptist church 1871; died in
Crawford, Ga., March 27, 1896, lacking
two days of being 72 years of age.
The writer of this sketch has been in
timately acquainted with the deceased
for several years, and gladly bears testi
mony to the fact that he was a man who
loved the Saviour and the church as
well as the Baptist cause. He was a
man of strong convictions, yet he was
open to instruction. The children in
the village all loved him, his neighbors
all appreciated his kindly sympathy, for
he would visit the afflicted and suffer
ing, and his kindly cheerful mien left
the room brighter after his departure.
He was a faithful, loving husband, a
devoted father, a good neighbor, and a
staunch friend. His death was sudden
and unexpected, but he w’as prepared
for the summons. The Lord granted
his wish to let him die as he did die.
He leaves several children and grand
children, and a host of friends who
mourn his lo«, but who are comforted
by the blessed assurance that their loss
is his eternal gain. He was buried in
Crawford cemetery, the writer conduct
ing the services, and the large crowd
that filled the church was an evidence
of how widely he was known and how
well he was loved. He was a man,
therefore not perfect. He had some
severe trials through which he had to
pass in the latter years of his life, but he
has left them all behind, and we believe
that be has entered into that rest that
remains for the people of God, and so we
rejoice, though sorrowful.

the record of her noble character and
good life—a life, noted for its devotion

HALE —On Friday evening, Feb.
28th, Bro John Hale, aged 44 years, one
of our leading and model Christian citi
zens, passel away in the peaceful care
of a loving Savior. He c»me from
Campbell to Cobb county when a mere
boy, where he has since remained He
has been a cons’stent member of the
Missionary Baptist church for twenty
five years. At his death he was a mem
ber of Olive Springs, in this county.
Shortly after his connection with the
church he was elected to the office of
deacon, and was always faithful and
cautious in performing the duties in
cumbent upon him in this trustworthy
position, tendered him by his brother
members. His death brought a gloom
of sorrow over our entire neighborhood.
All realize that in him we have lost a
worthy citizen and devoted Christian,
who was always ready with word and
deed to make everything which came in
his way congenial and delightful.
And the church has lost a guide who
often saved her, no doubt, from many
wrong steps. But all our eulogies will
not crown his life with the glory that
the God whom he loved and served will
give him in the last glorious morning.
Like Paul, he had fought a good fight,
and had kept the faith; therefore his
spirit was wafted home amid the en
chanting and sweet music of a con
course of angels, to enter into the “joys
of the God who loved him.”
When on earth our work has ended,
Then with Heaven the spirit is blended.
In his life the Spirit of God surely
lived,
For him by none was held an illwill.
For cautious were the steps in life he
took,
And to none -lid he give a sneer or
scornful look.
