ASKED AND ANSWERED.
BY C. E. W. DOBBS, D.D.
Dear Brother Dobbs; ACampbel!-
ite got hold of •my paper. He said yon
taught that a man by hia own free will
and .ffort could bring God under obli
gation to wave him, and get to heaven by
hiH work*. He ref.m to the answer to a
iiueMion anke<l by J. H. O. in Index of
May 7. He said I had always disputed
that, and said I had always said it was
of grace, and not of works. I tell him
he has misconstrued yonr words, and
you did not intend to teach any such
stuff, but was showing that Baptists do
not teach fatality; but to show that sin
ners are saved by grace through faith in
obedience to the heavenly voice, and not
of the power of man, but according to
righteousness, and to show that election
does not involve fatalism. My friend,
who claims to believe the doctrine of the
Christian Church, as he calls it, says
you are better authority than I, which I
admit. Will yon please give us a few
thoughts on the subject of salvation by
works and by grace. I will let you se
lect your own text, and then I will see
if my friend thinks you believe that sal
vation is of works and not of grace.
T. P. G.
Your friend is considerbly ‘‘oft.” Our
answer referred to cannot bear any such
interpretation as that pnt upon it by him.
Your view of it is correct, and the only
reasonable view. Paul says; ‘By grace
have ye been saved through faith; and
that not of yourselves; it is the gift of
God. nut of works, that no man should
glory. For we are his workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus for good works,
which God afore prepared that we should
walk in them." (Revised Version ) The
apostle s argument throughout Romans
is to the same effect. He teaches that,
sinners are justified by faith apart from
works, and that if by grace it cannot be
of works. (Rom. 3;21 31; 4:4,5,1<> ) We
do not see how any language can more
[ilainly set forth this great truth. Paul
absolutely excludes works from the ba
sis of the sinner's justification in the
sight of God. ’if course Paul does not
deny the necessity of good works as ev
idential of our salvation. He expressly
says that the end of our justification is
that we may bring forth good works.
These may be said to justify us before
men that is, works prove the reality of
the justifying faith This is what James
(2:14 24) means. He does not contra
diet Paul s teaching, but refers to our
justification in the sight of men ‘‘Shew
im thy faith," etc. So long as a sinner
clings to his works as the ground of his
acceptance with God, he cannot receive
the divine mercy, for such clinging is
wholly inconsistent with that penitence
and humility which only can bring a
sinner into saved relations with his of
fended God. His plea must ever be:
“In my hands no price I bring,
Simply to thy cross I cling.”
Dear Dr. Doubs. Luke 14th chap
ter. Do you think the Spirit led Jesus
into the wilderness for the express pur
pose that he might be tempted by the
devil?
2. Do you think that the devil ap
peared /« iKonally to Jesus, and that he
actually spoke words to Jesus?
3. <> h verse. Did the devil lie?
4. 9th verse. Do you think that the
devil actually led Jesus in person to Je
rusalem, and did really set him bodily
upon a pinnacle of the temple?
5. 13tn verse. What is meaning of “he
departed from him for a season’? Did
the devil again tempt Jesus?
6. Was ‘ 'the Spirit” referred to the
same we call the Holy Spirit?
7. Would you advise a beginning
preacher to use Matthew Henry's com
mentary and to read Shakespeare?
A. S.
1. The temptation of Jesus in the
wilderness is one of the “deep things” of
the vo.‘d. There is much that we can
n it fully understand in the mysterious
conflict between our Lord and Satan.
The verse referred to reads in the Re
vised Version as follows: "And Jesus,
full of the Holy Spirit, returned from
the Jordan, and was led in the Spirit in
the wilderness during forty days, being
tempted of the devil.” Mark says:
“The Spirit driveth him forth into the
wilderness." Matthew substantially
with Luke. On Mark, Dr. W.N. Clarke
says: “Matthew and Luke say, with a
milder word, that he was led by the
Spirit Luke by the Holy Spirit.’
Mark's word tells of a strong, irresisti
ble impulse; doubtless such an impulse
as he had never felt before,for the Spilit
was already doing new work in him
Mark does not say that he was urged
forth ‘to be tempted,' but only that he
was urged forth to the wilderness.
Neither does Luke, and Matthew's lan
guage does not declare that he went in
tending or expecting to meet tempta
tion. From Mark we should infer that
he went out to be alone, desiring soli
tude for his own sake.” Dr. Bliss, on
Luke, says: “Led by the Spirit strictly
‘in the Spirit.’ This shows, as in the
parallel passages of Matthew and Mark,
that his movements were animated, di
rected, impelled by the Spirit, which he
had received without measure. * *
* Together they show that his entering
upon this trial, and his continuance in
it. and through it, were not against,but
in obedience to, the influence and con
trol of the Divine Power which had
sealed and consecrated him to his Mes
sianic office. * * * * We are not
told /tote the devil came in contact with
Jesus whether there was any visible
form; nor need we speculate on this fur
ther than to suppose (which we must, to
vindicate our Savior from the suspicion
of originating the temptations to him
self), that he was aware of the actual
presence of the arch enemy. It was a
real contest between the Savior and an
external being, distinct to the inward
eye. at least, not his own thoughts mar
shaled against each other.” Tne temp
tation was part of the ordained expe
rience-through which Jesus was topass,
in order that he might be fitted to be
our “perfect high priest” (Heb. 4:15).
and hence there is no insuperable objec
tion to regarding the whole procedure
as under the direct guidance of the
Spirit.
2. Yes, personally, though not neces
sarily in visible form, as intimated in
the foregoing answer. The "words"
were suggestions to the mind, rather
than audible speech.
3. Very likely; for he is declared to
have been a liar from the beginning.
Yet we know that he is called the
“prince of this world.” The point of
the temptation here was that Jesus
would adopt worldly and unjust meth
ods of establishing his kingdom, instead
of pressing on in the ordained path of
suffering which lay between his baptism
and his crown.
4. No. The whole temptation was
probably in the nature of a vision.
5. Bliss says: “Entirely frustrated for
the time, he would wait another more
favorable, in speaking of which Luke
probably had in mind the great crisis of
Gethsemane, and the cross, of which
our Lord eould say to his enemies, ‘This
is your hour and the power of darkness.'
(Luke 22:53; John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11.
Compare Heb. 4:15.) We need not, how
ever. exclude the thought of other try
ing emergencies in the life of the Savior,
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX : THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1896.
where he is reported to have waited
with special solicitude on God in pray
er.”
6. Yes, though, but for Luke’s express
statement, we might suppose, as some
have done, that the reference w-as to the
movings of his own spirit. As before
seen, there is no real difficulty involved
in regarding the Holy Spirit as leading
Jesus in the whole experience.
7. Henry's Commentary is good as a
spiritual exposition of the word, though
not critical from a modern point of
view. Shakespeare is standard litera
ture, though, in our opinion, there is a
vast deal in his writings which is
trashy. A young preacher can easily
find better reading.
Dear Dr. Dobbs: Will you please
state when the French Assignat,or Con
cordat, went into operation? Please
state also the conditions.
HISTORY.
We acknowledge that this question
rather staggered us. At first we thought
we had misread the words; but, no,
there they are, as plain as can be. We
have mislaid the accompanying letter,
and cannot recall the name of our cor
respondent or his post office - Hence our
inability to inquire further as to his
meaning. Our answer, therefore, must
be at a verture. The trouble is that
“assignat” and "concordat refer to two
entirely different things. The first
word describes the b( nd issued by ~the
French revolutionary Assembly in 1790,
when it had taken the decisive step of
disendowing the' church, and approprf
ating all ecclesiastical property to the
State. The church lands amounted, ac
cording to authorities at hand, to about
a third of the entire soil of France at
that time. This prodigious quantity of
lands thrown upon the hands of the As
sembly could not be disposed of at once,
and the task of selling it was devolved
upon the several communes,or parishes.
The communes were to pay the money
received into the National treasury.
Meanwhile the government issued paper
money on the security of the expected
funds from the sale of the lands The
bonds issued for this purpose were called
asxiynatx. Ultimately the over issue of
these paper notes greatly depreciated
their value, and they became about as
valueless as the Confederate States pa
per money became before the close of
the war. It is said that in the year 1795
it took 3,000 assignats to purchase a
louis But it cannot be that our
correspondent confounded these “assig
nats” with the “concordat ” Let our
answer, therefore, pass for what it is
worth. In regard to the other word: It
was an agreement or compact between
the Pope and the French government
relative to the control of the church
within the French dominions, at least
in France. The first concordat of this
sort mentioned by the history at our
command was entered into by Pope Leo
X.and Francis I -king of France.in 1516
by which the right of electing the bish
ops was taken away from the “chap
ters.” It was with difficulty that the
French Parliament was persuaded to
ratify this concordat. But. perhaps,the
most celebrated French concordat was
that made by Pope Pius VII., July 15,
1801, with Napoleon Bonaparte, then
First Consul. This re established the
papal authority in France which had
been abrogated by the revolution, but
not within its former limits; for it
placed the clergy, in temporal matters,
under the jurisdiction of the civil power.
Other concordats with the French gov
eminent were made on Jan 25, 1813, and
Nov. 22,1817. This is the best we can do
unless we had fuller information as to
the wishes of our correspondent.
Dea r Broth er : What is the calamus
mentioned in Ex. 30:23? What is its
modern name? P. L.
We do not know that we can give the
desired information. The word means
a reed or cane. The Bible calamus was,
according to one of the many Bible dic
tionaries, a “sort of reed or sweet
scented wood, mentioned in connection
with the other sacred perfumes. It is
a knotty root,reddish without and white
within, which puts forth long and nar
row leaves, and is brought from the In
dies. The prophets speak of it as a for
eign commodity of great value. These
sweet reeds have no smell when they
are green, but when they are dry only.
Their form differs not from other reeds,
and their smell is perceived upon enter
ing the marshes.” Any good botany
will give further information, we sup
pose, that is, as to the modern name or
g pecies of the calamus.

DENSON Onr all wine God han, in his
wisdom, taken from onr midst onr dear
friend and sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Den
son. On January 17, 1896, she passed
from earth to heaven. She was born
December 10, 1810, and was married to
J. H. Denson December 27, 1827. She
was the mother of (14) fourteen children
of which only two survive her. Dr. E.
J. and W. A Denson. She joined the
Baptist church very young and was one
of the first members of Friendship
church, which was dedicated thirty
years ago For these many years she
labored faithfully with our church, a
true and consistent member. Oh how
we will miss her loving nature, her sun
ny disposition, her sweet charity, and
most of all her presence and thesweet in
terviews we enjoyed each month at our
meetings- »No one was more punctual
to attend services than Sister Denson
She was only kept away by providential
causes. Her sweetest, best characteris
tic was the loving, faithful and aliding
trust in her Savior, exemplified in every
phase of life So one more kind-heart
ed companion, one more good Christian,
one more consistent member of the
church has gone from us. So we weep
with those that weep, but not without
hope. Sweet be her rest until loved
ones meet again. Resolved,
1. That we bow in humble submis
sion to our Father’s will. That we ten
der our sincere, heartfelt sympathies to
the bereaved family. May her Savior
be their guide and consolation, and in
God’s own time may they meet again
in the home beyond the skies.
2. That a copy of these resolutions
be spread on the church book.
3 That a copy be sent the Chris
tian Index for publication, also a copy
be furnished the family of the deceased.

DURDEN. Mrs. Sarah Spain Dur
den, whose maiden name was Gentry,
was born July 27, 1820. Married to
Henry Durden May 1, 1847. Died
April 10, 1896.
She made a profession of religion at
thirteen years of age and united with
the Methodist church of which she lived
a consistent member until August of
1870. Then becoming dissatisfied with
the mode of baptism, offered herself a
candidate for membership by immersion
to the church at Friendship, where she
received that ordinance at the hands of
Bro. Moses N. McCall.
Sister Durden was indeed a good wo
man. She loved the church and its
works and was always found at her
place in the sanctuary except when
providentially prevented. She bore her
last illness with Christian patience and
expressed to her family and friends her
willingness to obey the Master’s sum
mons to come up higher. How apprr
priate Bro. R C. Saunder s text at the
funeral; “Blessed are the dead that
die in the Lord .” She leaves three chil
dren and a large number of grandchil
dren to mourn her death, her husband
and three children having preceded her
to that better world.
She was a devoted wife, an affection
ate mother and a kind neighbor, ever
ready to speak words of comfort to the
faint and point them to Christ.
Resolved, 1. While we mourn the
loss of our dear sister, we humbly bow
to the
doe th all things well.
2. That th* church extend its heart
felt sympathy to the bereaved family;
trusting her example and precepts may
cause them to give their hearts to Christ,
so again be a reunited family in the
realms of bliss.
3. That a copy be sent the Chris

parted this life March 22, 1896 She
was born April 16. 1850, and happily
married to Rev. J. T. Chipley on Jan
uary 4, 1866. She joined the Baptist
church at Shady Grove, Laurens conn
ty, Ga., July 19, 1870, and was baptized
by the late Rev James M. Donaldson.
Whereas, it,has pleased our heavenly
Father to take our beloved sister from
the church militant to the church tri

devotion to duty, self sacrifice and
Christian charity.

brothers and sisters, our heartfelt sym
pathy, and we pray that the God of all
comfort may minister to them his ten

hour of trial.

for twenty years. Resolved,
1. That the church extend their
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved fam
ily.
2. That this memorial be published
in the Index.
3. That the family be furnished with

T. E. Dodd, Ch. Com.
Is It Worth Worrying About?—
Treatises on the art of living abound in
wise advice upon the folly of giving up
to worry That is a wise instruction.
Theoretically it is certainly true that it
is foolish to worry over what yon can
not help, and if you can help it, the
proper thingof course to do is not to
worry, but to go to work and put mat
ters to rights But those who are con
stantly harping on this string overlook
the distinction between anxiety and
worry. A physician has done every
thing that man can do to save the life
of one you love; but yon wonld be more
or less than human if knowledge of that
fact relieved yon from all anxiety. We
have, however, made some advance
toward a sound philosophy of life when
we are anxious or worried about impor
tant things instead of abon". trifles.
Ninety times out of a hundred the
things that burden ns have little to do
with the main issue that we have at
heart. We get in the habit of worry
ing. and any trifle is sufficient to set up
that movement of the brain or nerves.
We do not believe in cultivating that
soulless state which is impervious to
anxieties; but it is sensible, in a world
in which anxieties are so common, to be
fairly certain, before you carry them as
a burden on your heart, that they are
worth carrying. Before worrying it is
well to be sure that you have something
worth worrying about. — The Watchman
