The Baptist church of this city
formally called Rev. J. J. Ben
nett, of Cave Springs, Ga., last
night, to the pastorate of this
church for twelve months.
Mr. Bennett preached here on
last Sunday, and it has been
pretty well understood since
then that the church would call
him. After the weekly prayer
meeting service last night a con
gregational meeting wks held,
and the vote to extend the cal
was unanimous. .
It is understood that Mr. Ben
nett will accept the call, and that
he will return to Albany in time
to preach to his new charge on
next Sabbath. — Albany Herald.

J. R. Cain, Clerk
Editor Index:—l read in the
Index a week or two ago, an ar
ticle suggesting an organization
of all the Baptist deacons of the
city into a deacons’ conference.
It seems to me that the idea is a
good one, and that much good
may be accomplished by such an
organization.
In accomplishing the work, and
performing the duties properly
required of a deacon, many of us
needthe advice and counsel of the
older and better informed dea
cons, and there is no better way
of obtaining it than in an organ
ized deacons’ conference where
the views of those better inform
ed deacons may be expressed.
Much of the success and spirit
ual life of a church depends upon
the activity of her deacons, and
too many of us can only be dis
tinguished from any other mem
bers of the church at the obser
vance of the Lord’s Supper when

Thomson. —One of the best
meetings the church at Thom
son ever had has just closed,
with thirteen additions by bap
tism. The church was great
ly strengthened by these addi
tions, as well as by multiplying
the membership in activity and
usefulness.
Bishop John A. Wray, of the
Milledgeville church, rendered
valuable aid in preaching the
word of God with power, and in
personal work. Georgia Baptists
will be proud of this pious, elo
quently earnest servant of God
when they know him.
By the third Sunday night we
hope to have our new baptistry
ready, at which time these new
disciples will follow Jesus in the
ordinance of baptism. Many
others who have professed faith
in Jesus may make up their
minds to put him on by baptism
at that time.

The American Baptist Publi
cation Society’s year which
closed April Ist was the best in
the record of the society. The
Atlanta branch made an increase
in their business of considerably
over $12,000. Since April Ist
the Atlanta Branch has contin
ued to increase their business
and so far for the three months,
April, May and June, have
shown an increase of over $3,000.
This is very encouraging and
shows that the Baptists are ap
predating the endeavors of the
Society to make its literature un
surpassed by any and the peer of
all. The Society would be glad
to furnish free samples to any re
questing them.

Hillsboro. —Knowing how encour
aging it is to me to read in the dear
old Index of the refreshings from the
Lord, I write you about our meeting at
Hillsboro, which began Wednesday and
closed Sunday.
Our beloved pastor, Dr. H. D. D
Straton, came to us full of the Spirit
and prepared for the work. It seems
to me that during our meeting he made
some of the strongest and most pointed
appeals to the unconverted that I ever
heard any minister of the gospel make.
The church was truly .revived. I don’t
know when I have enjoyed a meeting
more. I am praising the Lord for
his wonderful love expressed to me in
the salvation of my two boys. God has
been good to me. It has been my daily
prayer since these boys were born—ten
and twelve years ago—that when they
came to years of maturity, they
might be led to the Holy Spirit, to re
pent of their sins and accept Christ as
their Savior, and God has answered my
prayer. It was a beautiful sight to me
to see those boys led down into the wa
ter and baptized by brother Straton.
There were no other additions, but I
know that there were others seriously
concerned.
Our young brother, William Wagner,
a Mercer student, assisted Bro. Stratton
Thursday and Friday. He is studying
for the ministry. He is also a Jasper
county boy.

Harmony Church, Walton
County.—We have just closed one of
the most delightful meetings ever held
with our church. Rev. J. F. Jackson,
evangelist of the Mulberry Association,
one of God’s consecrated ministers, was
with us and did most of the preaching.
He came not with excellency of speech,
or enticing words of man’s wisdom,
but in power and in spirit he
preached Jesus and him crucified.
The Lord wonderfully blessed us not
withstanding the church thought it
was not time to hold the meeting The
pastor announced that the meeting
would continue, and all that could
come could do so, and those who could
not leave their work would not lie ex
pected to come. But God overruled
all things for his glory and filled our
house from day to day with large con
gregations. attending the word with
his holy spirit and adding to the church
daily the saved.

THE OHKISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAYS JULY 16. 1896.
Floyd County Baptists
As you are aw .ire. Bro Editor, Floyd
county has thirty-two Baptist churches
in a county association, which we think
works admirably, in many respects.
After trying theplan we can recommend
it to others. We have three general
meetings and one Sunday School con
vention annually. The latter met on
the 28th of June, with the Second
church, Rome. Before the time came
it occurred to some of our wisest
brethren that it would be advisable to
meet two days earlier and hold a Bible
Institute, hoping that it would prove
both interesting and profitable. Hence
the change was made, and I am confi
dent that it met the expectations of all
present and, as usual, the absentee was
the loser.
The first lesson was “ The Final Pre
servation of the Saints.” Bro D. B
Hamilton produced passage after pas
sage from God'.s Word, proving that it
was abundantly taught in the Script
ures. All present enjoyed the discus
sion. Then followed the second topic,
“ The Ministry of the Spirit," by Bro.
R B. Headden. This was ably dis
cussed to the edification and profit of
the entire audience. Fortunate the
church which can claim R. B. Headden
for a pastor, or the association that can
profit by his instructions and imitate
his consecrated example
Bro. A. J. Battle enlightened us upon
the * ‘ Characteristics of the Human
Will." He did this as he does every
thing else, even surpassing this time
the expectation of his hearers. Ido not
wish to eulogize Bro Battle too much,
but will suggest that it would be well
for Georgia Baptists to form a more in
timate acquaintance with him. and a
good way to do that is to send their
daughters to “ Shorter College," he be
ing its efficient and worthy President.
Bro. Battle also defined " Faith ” for
us, which was a feast of fat things.
I fear the length of this paper will send
it to the waste basket, but I cannot close
without mentioning Bro. J- M. Pullin’s
discussion of “ Grace ” Bro- Pullin
never does things by halves. He is true
to his convictions and always loyal to
God's Hord. Bro. J. E. Hudson, pas
tor of the church, with his membership,
opened their homes and their hearts to
their visiting brethren. Bro. Hudson
has offered his resignation, which I hope
he will reconsider, and rejoice his
church by remaining with them. Both
church and Association would part
with him very reluctantly Bro. J. W.
Durham, who presided at the meetings,
was relieved to some extent from the
discussions, but made several interest
ing speeches upon the different sub
jects.
■ Missions’’ was discussed thoroughly
by many brethren. But, Bro. Editor,
when we see the enthusiasm manifested
at our religious gatherings, for mis
sions, and then read the reports of Bro.
Gibson, showing our meager contribu
tion, we are reminded that those who
need stirring are generally at home.
Neitherdo they take the Index. Hence
they feel no special interest in the work
of Georgia Baptists in all of their efforts
to evangelize the world. I wish some
one could invent something, or bring
to bear some influence that would in
duce Georgia Baptists to take and read
the Index, their own organ. While I
attempt to give you a very inadequate
sketch of our meeting, I am sadly re
minded that it will not be read or seen
by ten per cent, of Floyd county Bap
tints. But the greater the burden the
more faithful we must be.
We enjoyed this meeting so much,
we agreed to hold twp each year. We
will organize with as many members as
possible, hoping that we may accom
plish something for the good of the
cause, not only in Floyd county, but
for the extension of the Redeemers
kingdom in the world. Success to the
Index and both of its noble editors.
S. J. Whatley, Sec’ty.
Dear Index:— Please allow me spac e
for a few words. Early in June at a
union meeting held in the Hartwell
District of the Hebron Association, a
collection was taken up to help build a
church at our little town. We are truly
grateful for that help. I want to make
a statement of our condition here, and
then ask every Baptist pastor, and others
who may feel interested, to try to collect
at least one dollar for us.
There was but one church here, New
Canons, a year ago, and it was Uni ver
salist. I moved here about eighteen
months ago to teach school, and in April
began preaching once a month in the
academy. In July we organized a Bap
tist church with about twelve members.
We soon numbered something over
twenty. There is material here for an
excellent church, but we must have a
house. We have a good one started,but
we are all poor. I continue to preach
for the church, and I am doing it with the
expectation of a small salary. But I
realize the great need of a church here.
With the exception of a small amount,
given in subscriptions of five dollars or
less, the expense of building will fall on
three of us. The people here have help
ed us in small amounts and will help
us some in work. The brethren, through
the Hebron Association and some in the
Tugaloo, are helping us; but we need
one hundred and twenty-five dollars at
once to get our house so that we can
occupy it for our protracted meeting.
Now, if the pastors who read this will
collect and send to us one dollar each,
neither their congregation nor them
selves will be hurt, and we will be
greatly helped.
If Dr. John G. Gibson would come
around and speak two or three days
with us and learn that this is the most
needy portion of Georgia, he would
stretch forth his hand, thereby “ailing
us in receiving light.”
Brethren, in the name of our common
Father, for the sake of his cause, for
the worth of immortal souls, come to
our assistance. No matter how small
the amount, send it to us and it will be
gladly received.
Yours fraternally,
D. B. Waite.
Canon, Franklin Co., Ga.
The next session of the -North Geor
gia Baptist Convention will convene
with the First church, Gainesville,
Tuesday before 4th Sunday in July
next. All delegates, representatives of

itors, who expect to attend, will please
forward their names to Geo. P. Estes,
Chairman committee on hospitalities, so
that homes be assigned them.

ATTACK OF PROF.COX.
To take no notice of the attack of
Prof. Cox on this institution in last
week's Index would be a discourtesy,
and yet we cannot afford to reply to it
for the following reasons:
The condition of our finances does not
authorize the expenditure for 1 pre
sume he paid for the publication as I
am paying for this. Silence would save
enough to pay some girl s tuition.
The article is unworthy the author. I
am satisfied his Christian heart, in his
sober moments, would condemn it. It
is unwise, for it benefits no one except
other denominations, and pleases none
except the devil and those possessed of
his spirit- It is unkind, in that he
criticises cruelly the honest efforts of a
community which is doing a noble work
for the education of women It is un
fair, in that it creates impressions which
a candid statement of the case would
not justify. In its insinuations of in
sincerity and duplicity it is untrue, but
this is due to the lack of information,
and not to a willful perversion of the
facts. It is unbecoming its place in a
religious journal, either as a communi
cation or as an advertisement, and I
trust the grand old Index will main
tain its Christian digwity by refusing
space to such attacks upon an institu
tion the sole object of which is to gio
rify God and promote womankind. We
have the kindest feelings for Prof. Cox
and wish him great prosperity.
STILL IT GROWS.
I am sure it will be a pleasure to
many to know that friends multiply
and help increases. A few days ago a
brother who had sometimes thought
that our movement was not exactly
right, said to ms, “Henceforth you
may count on me-and my influence. 1
shall make my arrangments to furnish
one of the rooms. ”
Another friend is dsicussing the pos
sibility of flooring all the halls on first
floor with marble tiling This would
be neat and healthful, and, in the -long
run. economical. Let others come for
ward and push the work to a beautiful
and speedy completion which will be
done before the fall term opens.

Milledgeville.—Our work here
moves along nicely, with some addi
tions. At this writing I have-nine let
ters in my possession that have not yet
been presented to the church, and one
candidate awaits baptism. Since our
last writing we have taken a collection
for the Orphans’ Home and for Mercer
University.
I have been up to my ears in work
since the Southern Baptist Convention

lave held a meeting and preached two
commencement sermons The Sundays
I have had to be away, this pulpit here
has been filled by Dr. Gambrell, Bro.
Ivey, of Sparta, and Bro. Gomer, of
Warrenton. Our people were delighted
with these servants of the Lord.
On the 7th of June, Bro. O'Kelly, of
Griffin, preached the commencement
sermon of the M G. M and A. College.
It was one of the best sermons I ever
heard. He preached for us at night
and all were delighted.
The Lord has been especially good to
us the past two months. 1 have just
returned from Thomson this week,

the best meetings I have ever seen. It
was a “grown folks’” .meeting. The
town was stirred Our day congrega
tions were very large. The Lord was
there and scores were turned to Jesus.
Bro. Garner is doing a grand work there.
I go on Monday to Sparta to assist Bro.
Ivey for three days. O! brethren, we
need your prayers. May the Holy Spirit
give us a gracious revival of religion
and turn many souls to the Savior.
Brethren, we have not time to worry
over the so called 'Whitsitt contro
versy.” Souls are dying out of Christ.
My heart’s desire and prayer to God is
that the lost may be saved.

Dr. Whitsitt’s Statements.
For the Index.
I have just finished a careful re-read
ing of Dr. Whitsitt’s statement in the
Index of this week, and while this
statement, which we were glad to have
from him, may be considered “fair and
open,” yet, -by a careful perusal, one
could but wish it had been more full.
Dr. Whitsitt says, “I chose to make
the first announcement of my researches
regarding it in the New York Independ
ent, It seemed to me that
this topic might be brought forward
then with entire propriety
I do not undertake to defend my con
duct in this particular;” but there is not
a word about the encyclopedia article,
and while this statement is all that
could be asked, yet no one can claim
this to refer to anything more than his
article published in the Independent. It
is, therefore, a source of regret that the
doctor did not give forth a statement
for putting into a pedo-Baptist book his
views. We believe if he had done this
it would have removed all bitterness,
and the brethren would have waited at
least with some degree of contentment
for his forthcoming book.
We trust he will give out some expla
nation for his act in this respect.

Thomasville Letter.
1 have just returned from a visit to
the afflicted home of Bro T. A White,
eleven miles‘from this city. For now
nine weeks, sister White has been criti
eally ill with valvular disease of the
heart. Paroxysm has succeeded parox
ysm, each threatening to be the last,and
no mortal mind can form a conception
of the excruciating agonies sheias ex
perienced. But. in the midst of all her
sufferings, the Lord has been with her.
Her mind has continued calm and se
rene: her soul is fully possessed of the
sweet Spirit of grace, and she has al
ready triumphed,in advance.over death.
“Thanks be to God, who giveth us the
victory, through our Lord Jeans Christ."
Her faith is firm as its eternal founda
tion, the “Rock of Ages,” and hsrspirit
of submission is sublime. She is quietly
and confidently awaiting the end and as
I looked upon her lovely face, calm and
placid, in spite of her fearful suffer
ing, it was radiant with the peace of
God, and a halo of glory seemed to
crown her head. I have spent this day
in the very gate of heaven.
Bro. White has passed through a ter
rible struggle, and it has told fearfully
upon him. But he, too, has gained a
victory by the grace of God, and he has
found Jesus to be indeed the “friend
that sticketh closer than a brother.”
His churches have passed resolutions of
prayerful sympathy and voluntarily
granted him indefinite leave of absence.
In the meantime elder Moses Ward is
supplying his pulpit, very acceptably to
the brethren, and is doing the work eon
amove.
I met brethren Ward and L. J .Crutch
er at Bro White's and enjoyed sweet
converse “in the gates,” with those god
ly men.
Elder Crutcher is the joint employee
of the State Board and the Executive
Committees of the Mercer and Bowen
Associations, to do evangelistic and col
portage work in this section. He is a
man well fitted for such work and he is
performing it in a very satisfactory
manner. He has finished a remarkably
successful engagement of six months
within the territory of the Bowen and
Southwestern, and has n -w entered upon
the remainder of four months out of six
on Mercer grounds.
I met elder J. M. Ruskin last week
He is in fine condition physically and
spiritually, and is now arranging for his
annual meetings.
I also had a brief glimpse of elder D.
H. Parker, of Bainbridge, about two
weeks ago. He appeared well and hope
ful.
Elder A. C. Stephenson was in town
a few days ago in excellent condition.
He is to open up the campaign of sum
mer protracted meetings at his Big
Creek church next Sunday. After the
campaign is over—if I live and the
brethren will kindly furnish me the
data—report results to the Index. I
expect, as usual, to help the country
pastors all I can in their meetings.
My church has, by a voluntary, unan
imous vote, granted me a vacation of
six weeks, or less, as I may elect, to be
taken when I choose I gratefully ap
preciate the generosity of my brethren,
but I have not yet decided when I will
avail myself of it.
My congregations are full and some
times overflowing, notwithstanding the
unprecedentedly hot weather, and I am
still gathering the fruits of our special
meetings in the spring.

Section “G.”
Section “ G ” embraces Middle,
Middle Cherokee, Miller, and
Mountaintown Associations, and
the brethren are down on the
Convention’s “ Schedule ” to help
Mercer University in July. We
trust the brethren will not forget
the opportunity.
By the way. Brother C. W. Hood,
of Harmony Grove, a village near
Athens, has. just notified his pas
tor, Dr. B. F. Riley, that he gives
his check for one thousand dol
lars for Mercer. Mr. Rockefel
ler has given twenty thousand
recently. Now you see we want
seventy-nine thousand more to
make out the one hundred thou
sand. Are there not seventy
nine Baptists in Georgia who can
do as well as brother Hood?
Brother Hood is not a very rich
man. In many places he would
not be rich at all. He is not an
educated man, according to the
college idea; has no connection
with Mercer; no tie, save that
which exists in the case of every
Baptist—exists in the very nature
of things. For a Baptist of Geor
gia to sympathize with, pray for
and give money to Mercer Uni
versity at this time is nothing less
than a part of the truth as it is
in Christ Jesus.
Now brethren of Section “ G,”
how many men have you that
can give one thousand dollars
each, and be all the richer for it?
Come to the front. Now is the
time for the wealthy to give. We
need the money, and when these
have given the one hundred thou
sand we will move right along
down the line for another, and
then another, and still another
hundred thousand. Does some
one ask when we will stop. Nev
er —never, we hope. God forbid
that we should ever be deprived
of the priceless privilege of help-
ing in any and every good work
When will men cease to be in
fidels and trust in the living God?
He has spoken and said: “It is
more blessed to give than to re
ceive.” Do we believe? It seems
not. He teaches in his word, if
he teaches anything, that giving
enriches and ennobles, prepares
us both for the present and the
future. There are no returns
comparable to those that come
to the Christian who gives
money scripturally. We are ig
norant of the existence of any
enterprise that deserves more at
the hands of Baptists than Mer
cer University. We hope that
the necessity for contributing'to
its support will never end. j
H. R Bernard.
