WASHING THE SAINTS’ FEET.
BY REV. A. C. SMITH.
"He riaeth from supper and laid
snide his garments; and.took a towel,
and girded himself.
"After that he poureth water into a
basin and began to wash his disciples
feet, and to wipe them with the towel
wherewith he was girded. " John 13:4, 5.
1 am not here to oppose toot
washing. Let the stars disown
the sun from which they derive
all their light and good, kt the
earth and all her vegetation rebel
against high heaven and smite
the friendly clouds that give them
drink with their early and latter
rains, yea, let the tender off
spring despise its mother, and
the mother “cease her own to
cherish, heaven and earth at
last remove,” but let me not de
ny my Lord and King any ser
vice he demands of me, however
hard to perform, or however
humiliating to my fleshly nature
Neither do 1 make war against
those who may chance to differ
with me, even after they have
heard me through; my love to
you shall be unchanged. I ad
mire your devotion to Christ, my
King, but the highest and best
type of loyalty to the King is to
observe his will as to time and
place, as well as to the kind of
service rendered.
It has been said that “order is
heaven s first law,” and we are
quite sure that the Holy Spirit
has said, “Let all things be done
decently and in order." There is
a time to every purpose, and he
hath made everything beautiful
in his time. Whatever therefore
is done in the King’s service,
must be timely done, for only
that which isGirte/f/done is rightly
done.
Now there is frequent mention
made in the Bible of washing
feet, therefore we conclude that
the study of the quest ion of foot
washing is lawful and right., and
of too much importance to be
lightly treated. What, then, may
we learn about it from God’s
word, and what was the object
of our Lord in practicing foot
washing? In order to a proper
understanding of the question,
we will present it in the f< rm of
several <|uestions. To wit:
1. Did Jesusfirstinstitute foot
washing?
2. Did he institute the Lord’s
Supper?
3. When and where was the
Lord's Supper instituted?
I. Did Jesus eat a common
supper with his disciples at a
private house, and when?
5 When did Jesus wash the
disciples’ feet?
6. And lastly. The object.
First, t hen,by reference to Gen.
18:4; 19i.’; 34:32, and 43:24, and
also 1 Sam. 25:41, we find the
practice of foot washing com
mencing as far back as Abra
ham, and extending on down the
ages, and even when our L >rd
was upon the earth, it was si ill a
custom with the Jews. See
Luke 7:11. We notice that in all
these instances it was purely a
social custom and had no official
connection whatever. Jesus,
while he was very God, was al
so very man, and as such he did
some things that had no official
bearing at all. From the above
Scriptures itiscertam that Jesus
did not first institute foot wash
ing, though he did practice it.
Second. That Jesus did insti
tute the Lord's Supper is shown
from these Scriptures: Now the
first day of the feast of un
leavened bread the disciples
c line to Jesus, saying unto him,
Where wilt thou that we prepare
for thee to eat the passover?
And he said, Go into the city to
such a man, and say unto him,
The Master saith, my time is at
hand: I will keep the passover
at thy house with my disciples.
And the disciples did as Jesus
had appointed them; and they
made ready the passover. Now
when the even was come he sat
down with the twelve. And as
they did eat he said, verily I say
unto you, that one of you shall
betray me. And as they were
eating, Jesus took bread, and
blest it, and brake it, etc. Matt.
26:17 21. 26. In Mark 14:17 22 we
have the same also in Luke 22:14,
20. Now ‘it is cer ain that Jesus
did institute the Lord's Supper.
And here in these same Script
ures we find our third question
answered.
When was the Lord’s Supper
instituted and where? Matt. 26:
17, 21, 26, and Mark 14:12, 17, 22
very clearly show that the time
was in the evening of the first
day of the feast of unleavened
bread, and here, too, we see that
it was in Jerusalem in a large
upper room See Mark 14:15,16;
there they made ready the pass
over; then and there they ate it
according to the law; their loins
were girded, their shoes were on
their feet, each one held his staff
in hand. See Ex. 12:11. Notice,
too, that in the preparation for
this feast, no basins or towels
were required. Now as they
were eating, Jesus took bread
and blest it,and brake it; likewise
the cup, ar d blest it. And it is
expressly said that, Supper being
ended they sang a hymn and
went out. Not so when he washed
his disciples’ feet, as we shall
see presently. Nov comes the
fourth question.
Fourth. Did Jesus eat another
supper with his disciples ala
private house, and when?
Let us turn and read Mat. 26:
2,6. “Ye know that after two
days is the feast of the passover,
v 6. Now when Jesus was in
Bethany, in the house of Simon the
leper, there came unto him a wo
man, having an alabaster box of
very precious ointment, and
poured it on his head as he sat at
meat-, Mark 14:1,3, says, After
two days was the feast of un
leavened bread, v. 3. And being
in Bethany, in the house of Sinton
the leper, as he sat at meat, etc.
Here we see that two days be
fore the feast (the time when
the Lord’s Supper was insti
tuted) Jesus sat at meat with
his disciplesat Simon’s house, in
Bethany, near two miles from
Jerusalem, where tho supper was
instituted; and it was about this
time that Judas made proposals
to the chief priests to betray our
Lord, not however, until he had
witnessed the devotion of a wo
man who came with gifts to
honor her Lord. Luke 22:1,
speaks of the treachery of Judas,
but leaves out the supper, and
only tells us that the feast was
nigh at hand. Now turn io John
12:1,2 and we find that he cor
roborates the testimony of Mat
thew and Mark; for he says that
Jesus was in Bethany just be
fore the feast and that there
they made him a supper. So
you see that he did eat another
supper, an ordinary supper,
with his disciples, before the
feast. Next, we notice the fifth
question.
FIFTI’.’VHEN DID JESUS WASH THE
DISCIPLES' PEET?
Was it when he instituted the
supper, as some suppose ? Im
possible, for we have just seen
that the supper was instituted
in the evening of the first day of
the feast, and now, when John
is about to toll us about the
foot washing, he commences by
saying,“A'mc before the feast,” he
does not say just here how long
before the feast it was, but in
chapter 12 he does tell us that
Jesus came to Bethany six days
before the feast, and that there
they made himasupper. Now we
have seen what they did when
they had eaten the Lord’s Sup
per;“ they sanga hymn and went
out.” We will now see what they
did after the supper when Jesus
washed the disciples’ I'tet. Verse
12 shows that after he had
washed their feet he took his
garments and sat down again, to
talk to them about what he had
done. In, leaving this part of
our subject we wil recapitulate,
to aid our memories by atiking—
-Ist. Where was the-Lord’s Sup
per instituted ? In Jerusalem in
an upper room. 2 When was it
instituted ? In the evening of
the first day of the feast of un
leavened bread. 3 When did
Jesus wash his disciples' feet ?
Before the feast, after a supper.
I. Where did he eat a common
supper with his disciples.? At
Simon's house in Bethany, two
days before the feast.
So now, dear friends, you see
that God hath separated the foot
washing from his- supper by
two day s'time and near two miles
distance What therefore God
hath separated, let no man join
together. Another question
arises just here, which I must
notice before 1 leave this part of
my subject:
“ Did the apostles understand
foot washing to be an ordinance
in the church ? If so, they said
nothing about it, though they said
much about baptism and the
Lord's Supper. Paul, in 1 Tim.
5:10, did mention it one time in
inquiring after the character of
a widow to be taken care of by
the church, but strange that he
did not say, if she hath been bap
tized, if she hath taken the
Lord’s Supper.
Sixth, and lastly. We come to
the object Jesus had in washing
the disciples’ feet. The time of
his sojourn with his disciples
was near to a close—he had been
with them much, he had talked
with them a great deal, he had
given them many precepts and ex ■
amples, he had fed them, he had
delivered them from many perils;
he had given them revelations
of his glory; he had done almost
everything for them but to wash
their feet. He loved them, he
had said much to them about love,
but he had not fully illustrated
to them the depth of its meaning
and its power over the world, the
tlesh and the devil; its power to
drive out pride and selfishness
from the heart, and so he takes
this opportunity to show it to
them. He disrobes himself of
more costly apparel and girds
himself with a badge of humility;
he condescends to the most me
nial service. He was Lord of ere
ation, he was heir of all, he had
the power and right to command
some servants to come and wash
his disciples, and he could have
given a check on the fishes of
the sea for the servants’ pay and
they would have honored it; but
he would not, he preferred to
wash their feet with his own
hands because he loved them.
Look, my friends, and see the
Son of God, the sinner’s servant;
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY, MAY 21. 1896.
the Prince of glory and heir of
creitioa, low down at the feet of
agu\lty man, a wretch under
sentence of death. “ What won
drous love is this, O my soul ! O
my soul ! '
Take the words of the text,
“He riseth from supper,” sug
gesting the feast of good things
he had with his Father and the
holy angels, e’er sin entered the
world—but he could stay no
longer at his Father’s tablewhen
the poor sinner was sinking to
hell. “He laid aside his gar
ments.” He was the brightness
of his father’s glory —but he laid
aside the glory he had with his
father before the world began,
and came down and girded him
self with human nature, and
made himself of no reputation
but took upon himself the form
of a servant. Was there ever
such love, such condescension,
such sacrifice? But this he did,
and shall 1 now refuse to wash
my brother’s feet, or thall I op
pose it in my brethren if it be
done according to the pattern?
No, I repeat I am not here to op
pose foot washing. I have
passed some of the sweetest mo
ments while engaged in washing
feet with my brethren at the
midnight hour, but I am here to
tell you that what Jesus wants is
to rid us of that pride and selfish
ness that keeps us from doing
whatever will tend to promote
brotherly love and make us more
like our Lord.
If you are thrown together
and your affections towards each
other leads you to wash one an
other’s feet, it is all right, but
rather if, as an act of hospitality,
you get a basin of water and
wash your visiting brother’s feet,
it is better. Pardon me for al
luding to my own experience,
but I was never so humble as
when a dear, elderly sister in
Christ, a lady of culture and
means, surrounded with hired
servants subject to her com
mand. tcok my shoes, and with
her own hands gave them a shine.
< )f course I could but refuse and
say, thou shalt never black my
shoes, but her Christ-like spirit
constrained me and caused me to
yield. O, my brethren, let us
not set too much on our dignity
and let us not delegate to another
the performance of an act that
is fraught with blessing for us.
Now in conclusion, dear friends,
let me say that if I have told you
the truth to day and you are con
scious of it, and if you have been
in error, high Heaven demands,
and your honor, and justice to
your consciences demands that
you confess it, and turn away
from •error’s way and walk in
truth. And may the Lord help
you so to do is my prayer. God
bless you. Amen.

The Baptist State Convention and
the Saloons.
BY W. P. PRU E
It was doubtless a mere over
sight on the park of your report
er in preparing and sending off
the proceedings of the late Bap
tist State Convention, at Cedar
town, that no mention was made
in the Christian Index of the
adoption of the report of the
committee on temperance, which
report, by the way, takes higher
ground on that important
subject than has ever
heretofore been taken at
any previous session of that
body. Dr. H. H. Tucker’s re
port in 1889 was very progressive
and in the right direction, but
still it did not “drive the nail in
to the coffin” like that sledge
hammer strike at Cedartown.
The Index would do a good ser
vice by printing the report in full,
because only a few Baptists v ill
read it in the Convention min
utes. It should be read in every
family in Georgia. |lt has been
printed. Ed. ]
There is no longer any doubt
or misgiving as to where the
great leaders of the Baptist fam
ily in Georgia stand, as to what
should be done with the barrooms
and whisky saloons, not to speak
of private dram-drinking and the
sale of liquors. The rank and
tile of the Baptists, or a large
majority of them, have always
been in the front of the battle
for temperance, but there has
been no official declaration ema
nating from a Convention of
Baptists in Georgia, like that
which comes to us from Cedar
town.
The friends of the anti bar
room bill in the last legislature,
among them the writer of this
communication, received much
encouragement, at that time,
from the Index, and its able ar
ticles did much to strengthen the
weak and wavering. (There
were a few such Baptist members
in that body.) If the “Bush
Bill” had received the votes of
all the Baptists in the legislature
it would have become a law. Two
Baptist ministers voted outright
against the bill, and two Baptist
ministers dodged the vote, while
two Baptist ministers voted for
the bill All the Baptists, Meth
odists, and members of other de
nominations from the cities,
where whisky controls, voted
against the bill. Atlanta, Sa
vannah, Augusta, Macon, Colum
bus, Brunswick, Albany, and Da-
rien, all voted unanimously to
perpetuate whisky saloons! And
still a majority of the members
who did vote, recorded their
votes against whisky and whisky
rule!
The bill known as the “Bush
Bill” may not be all that prohi
bitionists desire, but it is a very
important step towards the end
to be finally accomplished. A
few prohibitionists, like Mr.
Reagan, of Henry, and Mr. Far
mer, of Coweta, and possibly
others, voted against the Bush
bill, because they favored a total
prohibition law. Had these pro
hibitionists voted for the bill, the
result might have been different.
First, let us take the citadels
—the barrooms and saloons —
and suppress the evils which flow
from these miserable sources,
and the end is almost nigh. If
Baptists alone were to cease the
purchase and use of whisky, to
say nothing of more expensive
liquors, and devote the money
thus saved to the cause of Christ
at home and abroad, there would
be little or no need for further
appeals for mission money.
The Index must again turn its
batteries on the enemy’s works.
Do good, and leave behind you
a monument of virtue that the
storms of time can never destroy.
Write your name in kindness,
love and mercy on the hearts of
thousands you come in contact
with year by year; you will never
be forgotten. Your name, your
deeds, will be as legible on the
hearts you leave behind as the
stars on the brow of evening.
Good deeds will shine as the
stars of heaven. Dr. Chalmers.
“Whenever I have an attack
of that disease called discontent
ment, I always take a dose of
‘comparison,’” said a friend. “It
is an excellent remedy, and when
applied frequently to the mind
never fails to cure. It is a mix
ture of thoughts of my own lot
and of some oneelse’s who is not
so fortunate, atid after taking a
dose it is astonishing how much
brighter the world looks. I rec
ommend it to every one.” — New
Jersey Mirror.

Proceedings ofjthe Baptist Con
cress. 1895 T A K Gesler, Sec
retary Baptist Congress. New York
City. Price, 50 cents
This contains the full reports of the
various addresses delivered at the Prov
idence meeting of the Congress Monism
as a timely topic was discussed in these
papers. The paper of Dr. Havey is the
best. The others give good dednitions
but are vague, and extremely philosoph
ical. Centralization in Baptist Polity
is admirably treated by Drs. Christian.
Crane and Faunce.
The books of the New Testament on
the light of Modern Research in the
light of Modern Inquiry, and The Rela
tion of the State to Semi Public Corpo
rations and their Employees, are well
discussed.
The Physiological Basis of Morality
is of unusual interest and exceptional
treatment Few papers equal the three
on this theme. (>ne of these is by Prof
W L. Poteat, of Wake Forest College.
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit closes
the Congress These publications are
of great service at times. Themes of
practical interest are presented from
various sides and lecome alive. We
commend it for careful reading. Most
of it is thoroughly sound and true. As
the Congress meets in Nashville next
fall, it will be well to get acquainted
with its methods in this way.
Ethical Monism. By Pres A. H
Strong, with a review by Prof. E H.
Johnson, D.D The Examiner, New
Y ork City. Price. 35 cents.
This little pamphlet contains the ar
tides which attracted so much attention
when they appeared in The Examiner
Dr. Strong has been looked to so long as
one of our leaders in thought that we
read with interest what he says. It
goes without saying that the papers are
charming reading and one cannot help
desiring to believe with the author. In
criticising it also we must recognize
the earnest purpose of the author to
maintain his long cherished doctrines
of grace. He is not content until he
brings his new theory into subjection
to these central thoughts. Ethical
Monism is, however, but an incomplete
explanation and leaves unexplained as
many mysteries as it explains. Even
such an advocate as Dr. Strong confess
es that he cannot make clear the rela
tion it bears to certain other truths and
gets out of argument by simply saying
it is so. The review by Prof. E. H.
Johnson is hardly up to the level of Dr.
Strong's argument but it has an ele
ment of sound sense that makes it an
admirable reply. No one can afford to
be ignorant of these ideas in this day,
and nowhere else can one find them ex
press dll their beet clearest lan
guage. If one ever expects to look into
this subject of Ethical Monism this is
the best book to begin with. It will
make an interesting study.
Women in English Life, from Media'
val to Modern Times, by Georgiana
Hill, gives a most interesting account
of the place held by women from the
days of the Saxon race down to the
present time. The various phases of so
cial life, the influence of great forces
like the Church and Feudalism, the Re
naissance and the great industrial rev
olution. which began in the last cen
tury, together with the educational rev
olution of modern times, are all treated
with an aim to showing clearly the
great changes which have taken place
in the position of women, and which
have rendered possible the wide expan
sion both of her responsibilities and her
influence in this last decade of the
nineteenth century.

“At home do as the Romans
Do.”—The origin of this pro
verb is said to be the following :
In the fourth century Ambrose,
Bishop of Milan, was visited by
Monica and her son,the celebrat
ed Augustine. There was one
point as to which Augustine felt
perplexed, and he therefore asked
advice of Ambrose. At Borne,
he said, it was the custom to fast
on Saturday, while at Milan there
was iio fast day; what course
was he to take? “Well,” replied
Ambrose, “when I am here I
dine, as the Milanese are in the
habit of doing ; but when I go "to
Rome I do as the Romans do. ’
