ASKED AND ANSWERED.
BY C. E. W. DOBHS, D D.
Dear Dr Dobbs: I am not sure that
my questions are of sufficient interest to
find a place in your admirable Asked
and Answered column
1 When was episcopacy established ?
I do not find anything like modern
“bishops" in the Bible.
2 What is meant by “suffragan" and
bishop “in partibus" in the newspaper
clipping I inclose? I gain much profit
by studying joar answers. J J. H.
1. According to the New Testament a
' bishop" was a pastor of a single church.
There is no hint of what is known as
“diocesan" bishops, or such bishops as
the Methodists have. The Episcopa
lians have their bishops for certain dis
tricts called dioceses, while the Metho
dist bishops are general superintendents,
not being confined to definite dioceses
The germ of “episcopacy" is found in
the second century. It became custom
ary to pay deference to the pastors of
city churches, who began to exercise a
kind of supervision over the surrounding
congregations. At first this was merely
a voluntary recognition of the city pas
tor as commanding a place of influence,
there being no thougnt of such super
vision being claimed as a right But by
degrees there was developed what rip
ened into “episcopacy,’ or government
of districts by "bishops " In some of the
early councils there were scores of
“bishops' present, sometimes from a
very small district, showing conclusive
ly that at first the bishop was merely the
pastor of a church, not the overseer of
many churches. It is enough to say
that modern episcopacy originated in
the departures from New Testament
church government, the beginnings of
whicn departures may be seen as early
as the second century. No definite date
can be fixed—it being gradually devel
oped.
2 In the newspaper clipping referred
to reference is made to the '’suffragan
bishop of Peterborough. ” Not knowing
anything about such a bishop we asked
an Episcopal clergyman what was
meant. He says that there is no such
bishop, but that the “suffragan of the
bishop of Peterborough” of the English
church is meant. A "suffragan” is an
assistant bishop, who sometimes takes
his title from some place within the dio
cese in which he assists. In this par
ticular instance the suffragan is called
the "Bishop of Leicester." We believe
the term is not used of American bish
ops, who are called simply assistant
bishops, when the diocesan bishop be
comes superannuated or otherwise inca
pacitated, or when the work becomes
too large for one man to perform. Thus,
for some years Bishop Cummings was
the assistant bishop of Kentucky, the
venerable Bishop Smith being too in
firm to actively superintend his diocese.
Our friend also informs us that' in par
tibus” is used to describe a bishop in the
Roman Catholic church who has no reg
ular diocese. Sometimes a priest is
raised to the episcopal rank as an honor
with no intention of assigning him to a
diocese —he has the title, but no episco
pal duties to perform. Generally he is
appointed to a “see" in some country
where there is no Roman Catholic hier
archy, and where he could not, if he
would, perform the duties of a bishop.
He is a "bishop in partibus infidelium”
—in infidel, or unbelieving countries.
Dear Index: Was the name Chris
tian divinely given to the first disciples?
J M. v.
The record is not absolutely conclu
sive as to this point. All that we are
told is that “the disciples were called
Christians at Antioch.” Acts 1126. The
name occurs in only two other places in
the New Testament. Acts 26:28, and 1
Peter 4:16. Perhaps Dr Hackett, the
distinguished Baptist'exegetical scholar,
has given the test explanation: “The or
igin of the term is left in some uncer
tainty. It has been thought that the
name was invented by the Romans or
by the Greeks. It would not have been
applied first by the Jews,for they would
not have admitted the implication of the
term, that Jesus was the Messiah. It is
improbable that the Christiane them
selves assumed it; such an origin would
be inconsistent with its infrequent use
in the New Testament. The term may
not have been at first opprobrious, but
distinctive merely.” Peter’s use of the
name seems to indicate that at the time
he wrote it had come to be a term of re
proach—the name by which the perse
cuted were designated in the heathen
indictments against the followers of
Christ. But the apostle urges them not
to be ashamed of the name, but rather
“glorify God in this name" —so the Re
vised Version reads, following another
and preferred reading than that which
is the basis of the common version.
Whatever the origin of the name.it soon
became the recognized term by which
the disciples were known, and was ac
cepted by them as worthily descriptive.
Brother Dobbs: I am a temperance
man, but it does seem to me that it is
going beyond the New Testament rule
when total abstinence from wine is in
sisted upon Paul condemns only “much
wine,” and Pt ter “excess of wine.’’ See
Titus 2:3 and 1 Peter 4:3.
CONSERVATIVE.
With all due respect to our honored
brother we are constrained to say that to
be “conservative” in the great fight
against the liquor curse is really to be
an enemy of temperance. Whatever
may have been true as to the social hab
its of Christ and his apostles, under the
peculiar circumstances of their day, and
the customs governing society, we can
not plead their drinking wine in ex
tenuation of the evils of the modern
drinking of intoxicating liquors. In the
case of ministers Paul certainly discour
aged, if he did not absolutely prohibit,
the use of wine (1 Tim. 3:3; Titus 1:7.)
As to the “much wine” of the passage
cited by our friend, it may be said that
the Cretan women, among whom Titus
lived, in common with heathen women
in general in that day, were in bondage
in the habit of using stimulants, and
there was special need of just such a
caution as that Paul gives. In 1 Peter
4:3, the Revised Version correctly ren
ders “winebibbings,” there being no
word for “excess" in the Greek original.
We do not argue that wine-drinking is
a sin per se, but there can be no doubt
that it generally leads to intemperance
in our day, and should therefore be
avoided as wholly inconsistent with
Christian character. Paul's rule was a
good one for us all. Rom. 14:21.
When was the Turkish empire estab
lished in Constantinople? M. R.
In 1453 Constantinople was captured
by the Turke, the last Emperor, Constan
tine, falling in the defense of his capital.
Previous to the fall of the city, however,
the Turks had established themselves
on the European side of the Bosphorus,
and Constantine had been shut up with
in quite narrow limits.
1. What is the meaning of Acts 1:18,
latter pari?
2. All angels of the Bible, of whom
gender is mentioned, are males; all an
gels of modern language and art are fe
males. Why? |
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY. JULY 23, 1896.
Are m.t the titles "Rev.’’and “D.D.”
contrary to the Scriptures?
4. Are there any Baptists in France?
I never hear of any. J L. G.
1. Matthew tells us that Judas went
and hanged himself. (Matt. 27:5) The
account in Acts does not contradict
Matthew. Both accounts make refer
ence to the purchase of the field for the
burial of strangers, and both mention
his death. It is not at all improbable
that the rope by which the traitor com
mitted suicide broke, and that, falling
down, just such an occurrence as that
described should take place. Almost
certainly there were no witnesses, and
when found, the reasonable explanation
was that his death occurred as told by
the two accounts.
2. Ah, that is bard to say. Most men
at sometime in their lives think the
women are angels. The idea of beauty
is associated with angels, and we sup
pose that artists in general regard wo
man as the highest type of beauty. We
can imagine no other reason for pictur
ing the angels as women. Mentioning
this fact that the Bible always spoke of
angels as men, we were put to silence by
the answer of the good woman to whom
we spoke, for she quickly responded,
“Well, if the Bible speaks of men as an
gels, that is the only place where they
are angels.” Ani we said not a word
further.
3. The Scripture does not say a word
on the subject. In passing it may be
said, however, that there is as much
Scriptural authority for these titles as
there is for that of "Mr.” "Rev.” seems
to be merely a social title to distinguish
ministers from other citizens. As for
the D D.,” it is a literary honor which
may mean something or nothing —most
generally nothing. The degree is not
an ecclesiastical one at all, at least not
among Baptists. It merely denotes that
some college has looked with special fa
vor on some ministers who are regarded
as worthy of the honor, though it must
be confessed that the lightning does not
always strike in the fittest place. Many
earnest, God-fearing and faithful minis
ters, in scholarship and ability and piety
every whit the equals of the "D.D.’s,”
are doing as noble work in the vineyard
of the Lord as any of the "Doctors.”
Still we think it both unwise and un
scriptural to make any special fight
against the conferring or wearing the
degree when the partiality of the breth
ren has selected some as victims.
4 Yes, but comparatively few. The
latest statistics give about 48 churches,
with 35 ministers and 2,100 members.
Dear Bro. Dobbs: Please answer
through the columns of Asked and An
swered, whether John the Baptist was a
Catholic or not, or what denomination
was he? D. w.
John the Baptist was a Jew, as were
Christ and the disciples. There were no
Christian "denominations” then The
Catholic church as it is known to day
was not organized until several centu
ries after John lived. He was sent from
God to usher in the new dispensation,
which was fully inaugurated in the
ministry of Christ and his Spirit-guided
apostles. The churches they established,
and the doctrine they taught, we be
lieve, were just such churches and doc
trine as the Baptists hold to-day. Os
course we do not mean that they were
called “Baptists”—only that they were
substantially Baptist in principle and
organization.
FOR DEBILITATED MEN,
Horsford’s Acid Phosphate.
Dr. JB. Alexander, Charlotte,’N. C . says;
•'lt Is not only pleasant to tne taste, but
ranks among tbe best of the nerve tonics for
debilitated u»en.”
Blessed are the Hungry.
Thorwaldsen wrought long, and with
earnest enthusiasm, upon his statue of
Christ; but when at last it was complet
ed, a deep sadness settled over him
When asked the reason for this, he re
plied, "This is the first of my works
with which I have ever felt satisfied.
Till now my ideal has al
ways been far beyond what
I could execute; but it is no long
er so. I shall never have a great idea
again." Satisfaction with his work was
to him the sure indication that he had
reached his best achievement. He
would grow no more, because there was
no longing in his soul for anything bet
ter. He recognized this, and hence his
pain of heart.
In all life this law applies. Hunger
is a mark of health, and the want of ap
petite proclaims disease. The cessation
of the desire for knowledge shows that
intellectual growth has ended. So, in
spiritual life, unsatisfaction is the token
of health. “Blessed are they that do
hunger and thirst after righteousness.”
Blessed are the unsatisfied. Blessed are
they who long for more and more. The
mark of healthy spiritual life is an in
tense thirst for God, a deep, passionate
yearning for closer, fuller, richer, more
satisfying communion with God him
self. The ideal Christian life is one of
insatiable thirst, of quenchless yearn
ing, of divine discontent, wooed ever
on by visions of new life, new joy, new
attainment. The best thing in us is
never what we are. what we have al
ready reached, but the longing for that
which is yet higher and better.
If the care of the hair were made a
part of a lady’s education, we should not
see so many gray heads, and the use of
Hall’s Hair Renewer would be unnec

Diamond Engagement Ring.
Nothing pleases a lady for this
purpose better than a genuine
. Diamond Ring. It is not the size
of the Diamond so much as the
fact that it is a real Diamond.
Send to C. P. Barnes & Bro.,
Jewelers, Louisville, Ky., and
get their catalogue of Diamond
Rings. They are selling Dia-,
monds so low in price that any
body can get one.
Every day of life is a battle in
spiritual things, and every bat
tle is a victory or a defeat. We
must overcome or be overcome
daily; must be overcome of evil
or overcome evil with good.
“With good” alone is ever the
true victory won; all other victo
ries are disguised defeats, only
the sorer for their victorious
seeming
Every one has his mission in
life, although it seems as though
that of some people was solely
to make others unhappy.

The Sweet By and B» ; or, the Sweet
Buy and Buy.
The other day, as I was clinging to
the straps of a Lexington avenue car,
two ladies sat near me, and as one open
ed her portemonnaie to pay her fare, a
scrap of paper pasted to the leather was
disclosed.
“Is that your shopping list?” asked
the other; ‘ It doesn’t look like a long
one.”
"No,” was the reply; “it is not the
list, but it is what keeps the list from
being a long one;” and she read, “He
who buys what he does not need will
soon need what he cannot buy.”
“What a capital guardian of your
capital! You must let me copy that
for my leaky purse. Who wrote it?”
“I don’t know, but I wish I did, for
it has saved many a dollar from lightly
rolling from my hands since I put it
here."
I was intensely interested in the con
versation, for at that very moment there
lay in my note-book a scrap which I
would have brought forth but for the
fact that my corner was reached. I
publish it, for if the truth which it con
tains was assimilated, many a pocket
book would remain a pocket book:
“We are ruined not by what we re
ally want, but by what we think we do;
therefore, never go abroad in search of
your wants. If they be real wants, they
will come home in search of you; for he
that buys what he does not want will
soon want what he cannot buy.”
