ABSOLUTELY PURE
Monteagle.
THE GREAT CHRISTIAN GATHERING
PLACE ON THE SUMMIT OF’ CUMBER
LAND MOUNTAIN—THE ALMS OF'.THE
ASSEMBLY—HOW TO CROWD SATAN
OUT.
BY A. P. HOURLAND.
Right here in the very heart of our
Southern country there has grown up
an organization in which we may well
take pride. The movement that led di
rectly to Monteagle began in the State
Sunday School Convention of Georgia,
which body appointed a committee to
confer with similar committees from the
other Southern States with the result
that the Assembly was organized and
located at Monteagle. Mr. It B Rep
Rrd. of Savannah. Ga., was elected
eßident, and to his energy and enthu
siastn the Assembly was due. in a large
measure, all Its subsequent prosperity
The first session was held in 1893. ami
from that day to the present it has
grown and grown until it now ranks as
one of the great benevolent institutions
of the nation
T£e hading ohjnts of the Assembly
are*'
To supply a miwiw r home. where those
who must seek cooler regions during
the heated term, can find rest, health,
quiet, entertainment ami instruction,
and at the same time be free from the
temptations and vices incident to the
usual watering place. Here are com
binedall the Christianizing cultivating,
ennobling and refining influences of
home, school, church and good society
It is a place sei gene i and nothing ex
aetly like it is found elsewhere.
To id wale the iiiii/ih, in the highest
reuse of the term. To this end is fur
nished the school, the gymnasium, the
lecture, the sermon, the prayer meeting,
the Sunday school, picture, the song.
What more could we ask? Further
more we are here on the top of the
tnonntain and in the bosom of the pri
ineval forest, where one can study nF
tune in its original loveliness Clift' and
crag, gorge and valley, tree and fern,
grass and Hower, all unite to lead one
away from the toils, cares, and worries
of life, into a better temper towards
the world and fellowman
To give people special training to fit
them for their work at home, especially
in lines of Sunday school and church
work, to say nothing of the normal feat
lire of the summer schools. To carry
» ant this object, regular courses of in
(trnction are given in Bible study, Sun
day school normal work, and primary
teaching.
7b convert a summer resort into a
Christian Assimhlg: It is a well known
fact that the watering place is Satan's
favorite field of operations This is
naturally so. because Satan enters the
place which he finds empty. He always
finds some mischief for idle hands, and
his strongest ally is man's sensual na
ture. and his lust for worldly pleasure.
At Monteagle, we propose to exclude
him by filling both mind and heart so
full of that which is good, and noble,
and true, that he can find no entrance
there.
TO DEVELOP THE BODY,
Which is done in the large gymnasium
with its able corps of instructors, on the
beautiful tennis court, in the fowling
alley,as well as in the superb swimming
pools. Moreover the charming walks
through mountain woodlands invite to
continuous exercise.
Now Monteagle has gradually assum
ed a character in exact accord with
these various objects. There are sev
eral features which combine to make it
the most delightful of summer resorts.
it w social. There are no clans, no
jastes. All are equal. Introductions
are not necessary. The cordial hand
shake. and genial "Glad to see you,” and
the kindly “Can I serve yon?," are met
with on every hand In this respect.
Monteagle has no equal.
It is homelike. People do not come
to Monteagle to make a fashionable
rail. Thpy come with bag and baggage,
children and servants.to spend the sum
mer They come to get rest, content
and freedom from care. This they find
to their satisfaction, and this feature
alone is sufficient to insure the success
»f Monteagle.
nit teears an air of culture and refine
ment. It is not the very rich nor the
very poor, not the pleasure seeker, nor
the schemer, that comes here. It is the
cultured, the refined, the noble of the
land who come both to get and to
diffuse light. Nothing rude, crude, im
polite. selfish, or discourteous is seen.
One feels almost as if he had done hu
man nature an injustice, for here it
puts on a peculiar and unaccustomed
loveliness.
It is a religious place. A spirit of
piety and religious fervor pervades
everything The “twilight prayers "is
the best and most regularly attended of
all the meetings, the people that daily
gather there finding delight and refresh
ment.
All denominations of Christians min
gle freely in our delightful fraternity.
The Board of Trustees, which controls
the Assembly, is composed of four Bap
lists; Jesse French, M. B. Pilcher. Rev.
G. A. Lofton, A 1’ Bourland: four
Methodists, four Presbyterians, etc.,
embracing the greater Protestant de
nominations
To carry out these purposes fully, the
charter provides that no revenues shall
be divided among the members, but
that all shall be expended for the com
mon good, and for advancing the inter
ests of the Assembly. All assets and
income must needs be used for benefi
cent purposes There are no great sala
ries. no extravagant expenditures.
Hence you often hear the remark.
“Monteagle gives more for the amount
expended than any other place in the
country.”
One thing we insist on ever is, that
Monteagle belongs to the country, to
Georgia as much as to any other sec
tion: perhaps more, because Georgia
has been a liberal foster-mother to the
Assembly. Alabama, Mississippi. Ken
tucky, Texas, ana other States send
large delegations every year and stand
firmly in the support of their Summer
Home on the Cumberland.
Hardly a better place could be found
for the Assembly. On the summit of
Cumberland Mountain, a cool, bracing
atmosphere with an abundance of deli
cions water and inviting scenes on all
sides, this summer home has in itself
abundant attractions for seekers of
health and happiness.
But then, for two months the Assem
bly programs offer numerous lectures,
concerts, recitals, and various other en
tertaining features.
Among the speakers for the coming
summer we note Prof W R Webb

Dreaniings of Home From Various
Places.
Dashing along and dreaming a song.
While the ears to the Southward are
flying,
Past mountains and hills and rivers and
rills,
As day into twilight is dying.
How bright are my dreamings how
sweet are the seemings
That fresh o'er my memory come I
How rosy their glowing that brightens
at going
For, reader. I’m dreaming of home !
Dear Index From away up in the
lovely land of Western Tennessee, I
have long been wanting to waft back
to my Georgia home and friends a glad
some greeting of remembering love
But manifold demands upon my meagre
strength and crowded time have forced
a silence that my heart would have
gladly broken.
Home ' going home to see my
“sweetheart ", into whose fair, radiant
face and sweet, tender blue eyes I have
not looked in three long months of
speeding time. “ Ves," says everybody
in Georgia whose town I have ever vis
ited, “1 am not a bit surprised at his
mentioning his sweetheart, for we found
out when he lectured here that he has a
heart like other boys he surely loves
the girls I" I “ plead guilty to* the soft
impeachment." And if you do not. my
friend, yon acknowledge yourself at
enmity with the “ good, the true, the
beautiful" for the Georgia girls of
whom 1 dream, may be described by
either or all of these adjectives. But it
is not one of the Georgia girls of
whom I spoke as my "sweetheart" a
while ago; it is my mother who watched
over me so long and tenderly during all
my years on bed—my faithful, affec
tionate Christian mother, whose
face is yet fairer, whose eyes
are still more tender, whose voice
is sweeter and more soothing, and
whose presence is even now more longed
for. than any sweetheart's face and eyes
and voice and presence that I have ever
known. And my father ? He has been
just as near what my mother has been
to me, as it is possible for man to ap
proach the natural tenderness, purity
and constancy of woman.
Oh the music the memories
That over me come !
For I'm dreaming of mother
And father and home !

A BIT OF’ EARLY GEORGIA BAPTIST
HISTORY.
| The following letter, written by a
brother who is now in his eighty-first
year, gives such interesting glimpses
into earlier Georgia Baptist history,
that we gladly give it place in the IN
DEX. Eds |
Having been often solicited to write
some reminiscences of the O’Quin fam
ily,>l have de tided to do so, trusting it
will prove of interest, as dealing with
some early Georgia Baptist history.
Near two hundred years ago, two or
phans, an Irish boy named O'Quin and
a Scotch girl, fell into the hands of two
old miserly people in North Carolina,
who treated them so badly that as soon
as they got large enough they left, going
in different directions.
Some years after when they were
grow n, they met and married, and soon
after ascertained that they were the
children who were together in child
hood. There were born to them eight
sons and five daughters.
The family scattered from North
Carolina into South Carolina. Georgia,
Florida and the Western States. I
know little of most of them. From let
ters and otherwise, 1 learn that some
have taken high positions.
When 1 was six years old my father
moved to Georgia and settled on Ten
Mile Creek, Appling county, some two
years after the land was surveyed by the
State and the Indians went West. My
father was a Baptist from his youth
When he moved to Appling county, he
helped to cut the poles for building the
first church and school house in the conn
try. Having but little education he
tried to school his children and bring
them up in the nurture and admoni
tion of the Lord. Our teachers were
poor scholars, pronouncing the words
have and said with a long a, and to and
do with long o.
My father was much in favor of Sun
day schools. In the year 1826, a Sun
day-school was started some five miles
from home which was attended by boys
and girls living from six to eighteen
miles off. Father was the only church
member among the teachers. Two
other old citizens assisted, James Lili
man and Turby F. Thomas. We only
memorized and recited some Scripture
passages, read some lessons in the Testa
ment, and than closed with a spelling
match in Webster's old American
Speller. On his way home in the even
ings from hunting game or driving the
cattle, when some half mile from our
house, father would often stop and
kneel down and pray by a certain
crooked sapling. About 1830, near the
same spot, he went to work and built
a church, known as the Ten Mile Creek
church, which is a flourishing body yet,
having over one hundred members,
some ten years ago.
The church united with the Alabaha
Association, which turned out to be
anti missionary. One of its by laws
was "‘Not to lord it over God's herit
age or interfere with the internal rights
of the churches.” Yet they’ sent a com
mittee, viz; Henry Howard, James
Crawford and our pastor, Daniel W
Johnson, with resolutions from the as
sociation, requiring the churches to ig
nore Sabbath-schools etc., and to close
our doors against missionaries. The
result was the whole church voted
against the resolution, leaving the com
mittee and our little Hardshell preacher
looking like they had “barked up the
wrong tree."
From my early childhood father was
a man of prayer, never neglecting his
evening devotions if possible to avoid it.
In his eighty ninth year he spent a
month visiting the families of my
brother and myself in Clinch county.
Near bed time he would have a portion
of the Bible read, then repeat by mem
ory some good old hymn, such as “ The
Day is Past and Gone." After singing
he would lean his head on the back of
his chair and utter a most devout
prayer. He was then too old and stiff
to kneel. On his ninetieth birthday
many of his off-pr ing went to his birth
day dinner, near Scriven Wayne county,
Ga ,at brother-George s. There were 135
present and sixty five absent, making
even 200, including sons and daughters
in-law.
My parents raised seven sons and two
daughters to maturity, who were mis
sionary Baptists, and I think at least
nine-tenths of his offspring are the
same, 1 never saw one of my brothers
drunk or dancing, or knew them to
swear an oath or gamble, verifying the
proverb. ’' Train up a child in the way
he should go and when he is old he will
not depart from it.”
Two of the name, so far as I know,
secured a collegiate education, J. H.
O'Quin. Jr , son of G. W. O'Quin, grad
uated in Mercer and is now studying
medicine in Augusta. John H. O'Quin
son of A. O'Quin, also graduated in
Mercer and afterwards in a Normal In
stitute in Ohio, and is now principal of
the Tifton Institute of this (Berrien)
county, which is one of the best high
schools in Southern Georgia.

A Wormy Baptist Enterprise.
We Baptists have a comparatively
new school at Anbnrn, Gwinnett Co ,
Ga . on the Seaboard Air Line railroad,
and it is known as “Perry Rainey Col
lege anti Mulberry High School," con
sisting of two departments, as the name
would indicate. Its first graduating
class of eleven young men and ladies re
ceived diplomas at their recent com
mencement. The writer feels like
sparing no words to express the delight,
entertainment and profit received dur
ing his attendance upon these exercises
Two'hundred names were or the rolls
for the past year. Prof. T. A Bagwell,
a second honor graduate of Mercer, is
at the head of a fine body of teachers,
among whom is onr esteemed brother,
who has for a year or more served as
pastorof our Baptist church at Milledge
ville.
Anburn is an ideal location for such a
school The Blue Ridge Mountains are
plainly seen to the north. The village
population is made up of the best to be
found in upper Georgia. They are
thrifty, simple and hospitable, temper
ate, lovers of education, religious and
mainly Baptist. Brethren William
Perry and Hiram Rainey were the chief
benefactors of the school, the former of
whom has gone to bis reward while the
latter lives to carry upon his generous
heart this educational enterprise, which
is full of promise for an unbounded
usefulness auiong the teeming and am
bitious youth of all North Georgia, and
of South Georgia, too. if its advantages
were known and appreciated there.
Education at Auburn will be pushed as
far as the Junior class in our best col
leges, both male and female Expenses
are at the very lowest, without any
loss as to efficiency. With this decfc
ration the founders have set up their
banner, and it will long wave on those
bracing mountain breezes to cheer the
hearts of the many bright boys and girls
who live in this region, and who with
out Perry Rainey College would, per
haps, never receive an education.
Brethren, let ns welcome this fail ad
dition to our educational family Find
out all you can of its worth, and while
benefitting onr own homes, let us in
every way lend the helping hand to those
who by great self denial have built and
fostered this school as a wi-e contribu
tion to the progress of our Redeemer's
Kingdom. W. 8. Walker

I have just gathered the above facts
from reliable sources. From them it
appears that there is not a legalized liq
uor saloon in Georgia outside an incor
porated town; unless it be that one on
Crighton Island, four miles from the
main land. And there is not a saloon in
Georgia outside the 63 towns.
The Legislature is so partial to these 63
towns and the liquor dealers as to help
them rob the people of millions of dol
lars a year, that the 63 towns may get
$340,060 a year into their treasuries.
Will not the people see that the next
Legislature stop this partiality bj’ enact
ing the Anti-barroom bill into law?

Washington College for Young
Ladies—The announcement of the
above school will be found in another
column of this paper. It is the first in
stitution of college grade for young [la
dies established at the National Capital,
and promises to be one of the leading
schools of the country. It is a new
school as to its present charming loca
tion and surroundings, but experienced
as to its management and faculty For
beauty and healthfulness, the building
and grounds are said to be unsurpassed
within the District of Columbia The
buildings are on the crest of a hill lo
cated in a lovely park of ten acres, and
command a most exquisite view in every
direction. The hills of Virginia, the
Potomac River, the Capitol, the new
Library and other Government build
ings. the Washington Monument, the
Soldiers' Home, and a good part of the
city are in plain view The eye cannot
tire of the scene, nor is there in it lack
cf inspiration to knowledge and culture.
The location is beautifully enhanced by
the large, graceful trees and charming
bine-grass lawns that c liver the park
The buildings are most perfectly adapt
ed to the purposes of the school —heated
by steam, lighted by electricity, and
elegantly furnished. It is certainly an
ideal place for a yonng ladies' school,
and richly deserves the bright prospects
that it is already said to have

Mary Baldwin Seminary.—By an
act of the Legislature of Virginia passed
during the session 1895-96. at the request
of the Board of Trustees, the name of
the Augusta Female Seminary, Staun
ton. Virginia, was changed to “Mary
Baldwin Seminary." as an acknowledg
ment of their high appreciation of the
valuable services' and unparalleled suc
cess of Miss Mary J. Baldwin, who has
been principal for thirty three years.
Endowed with wonderful business tai
ent,fine executive ability, and clear judg
ment, she has made the Seminary one of
the foremost institutions in the land for
the higher education of women. From
this Seminary have gone forth many
noble, brilliant daughters to various
fields of usefulness, and it now stands a
great monument to Miss Bild win's un
tiring devotion.
The Trustees report that at no period
of its history has it had so superior a Fac
ulty or has the management been bet
ter —every department being under the
personal direction of Miss Baldwin.
“Mary Baldwin Seminary" is on the
great trunk lines of the Chesapeake &
Ohio and Baltimore & Ohio Railroads,
in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of
Virginia, a section noted for its health
fulness.
Every parent with a daughter to edu
cate should write for a catalogue.
