ASKED AND ANSWERED.
BY C. E. W. DOBBS, D.D.
Bro. Dobbs: In one of yonranswerH
you seem to intimate that the ancient
people of God did not know about im
mortality, Can it be possible that God
left the choaen people without so impor
tant a truth? r C <'•
Our position wan that the fact
of immortality wan but dimly re
vealed to the Old Testament naintH.
We are far from eaying or be
lieving that the Old Testament in ab
solutely silent on that subject. On the
contrary, we think there are expressions
in that part of the Scripture which can
not be understood without assuming
that the doctrine was at least dimly
discerned. For example, take that elo
quent pahsage in Psalm 10:9-11,to which
reference has been made in this column
quite recently. We quote the Revised
Version:
•‘Therefore my heart is glad, and my
glory rejoiceth;
My flesh also shall dwell in safety.
For thou wilt not leave uiy soul to
sheol;
Neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to
see corruption.
Thou wilt show me the path of life;
In thy presence there is fulness of joy;
In thy right hand there are pleasures
forevermore. ”
On this passage the able English Bap
tist preacherand commentator, Alexan
der Maclaren, says:
“No worth}’ climax to the profound
consciousness of communion already
expressed, nor any satisfactory progress
of thought justifying the ‘therefore’ of
verse 9, can be made out with any ex
planation of the final verses, which elim
inates the assurance of immortal life
from them. The experiences of the de
vout life here are prophecies. These as
pirations and enjoyments are to their
possessor not only authentic proofs that
‘God is and that he is the rewarder of
the heart that seeks him,’ but also wit
nesses of immortality not to be silenced.
. . . Whatever may have been the
current beliefs of the Psalmist’s time in
r-gard to a future life, and whether his
sunny confidence here abode with him
in less blessed hours of less 'high com
mnnion with the living God,’or ebbed
away, leaving him to the gloomier
thoughts of other psalms, we need not
try to determine. Here, at all events, we
see his faith in the act of embracing the
griat thought, which may have been
the rising of a new sun in the sky—
namely, the conviction that this his joy
was forever.’’
In addition to the foregoing eloquent
extract from the great Engluh preacher,
we would say that the < >ld Testament
saints thought of their dead as still liv
ing personalities, with God, in another
life. It does not seem needful to quote
passages. They thought and spoke of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as conscious
ly existing iu a spirit state The thought
could not have bad being without at
least some belief in immortality. Still
Jesus Christ “brought life and immor
tality to light through the gospel. " Only
in the light of the gospel is the great
truth .wfw/aclrm’/y seen. (2 Tim. 1:10)
Brother Dobbs: I heard a sermon
1 ist Sunday in which the preacher made
a distinction between un
belief and disbelief. Also between being
wicked and irreligious. Are not such
distinctions far fetched and misleading?
J. H. K.
Sometimes a skillful preacher can
make truth more effective by presenting
such distinctions, though we fear too
often the distinctions are not skillfully
nor truly made. In the instance men
tioned, from what we know of the
preacher, we are inclined to believe the
distinctions were wisely given. He is a
man who knows what he is saying. In
one sense unbelief is the same as disbe
lief—the withholding of belief. But
there is a clear distinction between the
two mental acts. Webster says unbe
lief is a mere failure to admit; disbelief
is a positive rejection. (>ne may be an
unbeliever in Christianity from igno
rance or want of inquiry; a disbeliever
has the proofs before him, and incurs the
guilt of setting them aside. Unbelief is
usually open to conviction; disbelief is
already convinced of the falsity of that
which it rejects. In the New Testament
unbelief is more moral than mental; is
of the heart rather than the head. The
current infidelity is not by any means a
coni‘ictio)i of the falsity of Christianity:
rather it is to be regarded as a moral
unwillingness to submit mind,heart and
life to the requirements of the gospel.
Men are not unbelievers because of hon
est inquiry into the evidences of Chris
tianity, which the}~have found want
ing; they are unbelievers because they
have not been convicted of sin ai d
brought to repentance. Indeed the
mass of “unbelievers" are professedly
“believers” in the sense that they re
ceive the gospel as a divine religion—a
revelation from God A singularly un
happy use of "disbelieve" is in the Re
vised Version, where Luke 2-1:41 departs
from the better expression of the com
mon version. Surely the astonished dis
ciples did not deliberately refuse to be
lieve! As to the distinction between
“wicked" and “irreligious" it may be
said that, like unbelief, irreligion is
negative rather than positive. Wicked
net-s is positive rather than negative,
though the two overlap. All who are
not positively actuated by principles of
religion are irreligious, but many such
are not thought ot as “wicked." Iu the
Bible, however, wickedness is a state —
a condition of the heart, and not simply
the outward life or acts. One is wicked
who is evil iu principle as well as prac
tice. All sin is wickedness, and we sin
in thought as well as deed. This is the
reason why men must be born again to
see the kingdom of God. Grace sweat
ees the fountain of the heart and thus
insures the new life
Dear Brother. What isthemeaning
of John 13:10? 1 cannot see what con
nection there could be between washing
Peter's feet aud his spiritual cleansing.
J. N. I>.
We do not know exactly what point
it is that troubles our correspondent.
The word "clean” is evidently used in
both the natural and the spiritual sense
in this verse. It reads: "He that is
bathed needeth not save to wash his
feet, but is clean every whit; and ye are
elean, but not all." (Revised Version.)
From verse 11 we know the word “clean”
last used is to be understood spiritually
—referring to the betrayer Juaas. The
word (louo) translated “bathed" is differ
ent from that (nipto) rendered “wash."
Low) denotes an ablution of the whole
body, while iiipto expresses the washing
of a part, such as the hands or the feet
The disciples had doubtless bathed their
bodies according to the Jewish require
ment, in anticipation of eating the pass
over In passing from Bethany to Jeru
salem they had. however, soiled their
sandalled feet, and it was needful that
they be washed in order that they might
be wholly clean—both naturally and
ceremonially. Then, by very natural
transition, Jesus speaks of the moral
uncleanness of Judas. Dr. Hovey re
gards the whole passage as referring to
spiritual purity, and not ritual purity
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1896.
only. “For the outward symbolizes the
inward: and in speaking of ceremonial
or bodily clean-ring, he thinks of the pu
rification of soul which it signifies.”
According to this view the believer has
been saved by the “washing of regener
ation" (Titus 8:5), but needs the daily
“renewing of the Holy Spirit” to carry
on the work of sanctification. The lat
ter is signified by the washing the feet.
We prefer the view we first expressed.
If Christ and his apostles intended to
teach the doctrine of eternal torment
why did they not use the word “6a.si
nax,” which isthe Greek for torment,
instead of “sheol,” “hades,” “tastaroo,”
and “gehenna” neither one of which
has the significance of torment?
J. C C. C
It is impossible to say why they did
not use any particular word. It may be
said, however, that so far as the reco*d
shows, they never used the word “sheol”
at all. This is not a point of any impor
tance. but when one seems inclined to
verbal criticism it is as well to be exact.
Neither Christ nor the inspired New
Testament writers wrote or spoke of the
future state of the wicked as “torment.”
Punishment is not necessarily to be
conceived of as “torment.” They did
plainly teach that the incorrigibly im -
penitent would be punished, though
they did not fully explain the nature or
details of that punishment. We do not
care to follow our correspondent through
the lengthy argument he sends in sup
port of his theory of the annihilation of
the wicked. It is sufficient to say that
we believe that theory to be wholly un
sustained by the word of God. The
wicked will live after death, and none
but the justified through grace shall en
ter into heaven. The impenitent must
go to their own place. There they will
remain so long as they remain impeni
tent, and there is no hint that repen
tance will ever ba exercised by any who
have deliberately refused to be recon
ciled to God while in this life. If they
hear not the blessed appeals of the gos
pel under the favoring circumstances of
the religious privileges and opportuni
ties afforded them in time, there is no
reason to hope for a second probation
This is about all we know concerning
the matter, and we should be content to
leave it where the Scripture seems to
leave it. Matt 25:40; Luke 12:4, 5;
16:19-31; Mark 3:29; Matt. 12:31, 32; 2
Thes. 1:6 10; Jude 5,7. These are aw
ful words, and may well cause us to rev
erently bow before the mercy eeat in
penitence and trust.
Dear Dr. Dobbs: 1. Kings 18.
Where did Elijah get the 12 barrels of
water?
2 Did Elijah kill both the 450 proph
ets of Baal and the 400 prophets of the
grove, or only the 400?
3. Do you think that both Elijah and
Mases are in heaven in the same kind of
a body: or if Moses has no real body in
heaven, how did the three disciples rec
ogrtiz.e him in the flesh on the mount?
a. s.
1. It is needless to inquire. The fact
that there had been no rain does not im
ply that there was no water. If there
was water enough to keep the millions
alive there was enough to furnish all
the demands of Elijah.
2. The history is not decisive of this
question. In the excitement of the mo
ment the people were in the humor of
slaying every false prophet, whether of
Baal or Asherah, and it is very probable
that as many as could be caught of
either class were slain. It is not likely
that nice distinctions were made by the
aroused masses.
3. We do not know. There are some
who believe that Moses, after his lonely
death in Horeb, was raised and taken to
heaven. It is supposed that some ref
erenc.e to this is the incidental state
ment of Jude concerning Michael the
archangel disputing with Satan about
the body of Moses (See Jude 9.) Where
the word is silent it is better for us to
be silent. The disciples on the mount
cuild know neither Moses nor Elijah ex
cept as the identity of the heavenly vis
itors was made known to them at the
time, for they had seen neither of them

Heavenly Surprises. —When
we get through to the heaven

great many things, but perhaps
at nothing more than our earthly
ignorance of ourselves, our over
estimates or wrong estimates of
our own life and character. What
we regard now as our strong
points may appear then to have
been only idiosyncrasies, and in
fact the weakest point in us. It
is well that our times are in God’s

of our character. If it were in
our hands we should make sorry
work of it. — Westminister Teacher.

SHANK—On Monday, June 30, Bro.
Jno. Arnold Shank died suddenly at his
home in Hogansville, Ga He had not
been sick but spoke of feeling unusually
well the day before he died. He was
born in Lincoln county, December 17,
1828. and when he was ten years old his
father moved to Troup, and the remain
der of his life was spent in Troup. In
August, 1848, God, for Christ’s sake,
pardoned his sins though he did not
unite with the church till the 4th Sun
day in August 1856, when he joined the
Baptist church at Providence and was
baptized by Rev. Tolbert X Reese. In
1867 he was ordained to the office of
deacon and continued in that office as
long as he lived.
From the day he joined the church
till his death, he was a consistent mem
ber of the Baptist church and was known
in all this section as a most earnest, ac
tive, tireless worker. He was a good
singer and nothing gave him more
Pleasure than singing God’s praises,
fearly everybody in the Western Asso
ciation has heard and enjoyed his sing
fn 1861 he married Miss L. A. Lofton
who, with six children, now survive
him. Always ready to give a reason for
the faith that was in him, his daily life
was a sermon for his blessed Savior.
Gentle, loving, truthful and honest,
everybody knew-him and spoke of him
as a model Christian, and he verily
went about doing good His frank,
honest words of warning and admoni
tion, have convinced many sinnsrs of
their guilt before God; his loving, en
couraging talks have shown many a
mourner the way to Jesus; and his talks,
his prayers, his very life of Christian fi
delity, have kept many wandering,
tempted Christians from going off into
the ways of sin. He had an abiding
faith in God and trusted in him just as
a little child trusts in its mother, never
doubting a thing that he said.
He was a Baptist of the most clear
cut type and was an ardent defender of
their faith and practices, yet he was al
ways ready to glorify God by assisting
in Christian services at other churches.
He was a pillar and stay of our church,
and we greatly mourn our loss.
But in his home life his Christian
graces perhaps shone with brightest
splendor, and his home was a heaven on
earth, where God reigned and received
the most willing and devout homage,
and all were cheerful, happy, lovi g and
contented. W ith his loving wife he was
a gentle, comforting, encouraging, help
ing companion.
Wish his sweet children, he was al
ways a child, ever ready to engage with
them in their plays or their work, their
joys or their sorrows, and they confided
everything in him.
He prayed to live till all of his chil
dren were united with the church, but
this was not to be
Two of them had not joined the
church when he died, but, thanks be to
God, they have since done so.
His bereaved and grief stricken fam
ily have the sympathy and prayers of
our church. May they all meet him in
heaven. We can truly say of him, “He
walked with God, and he was not, for
God took him.”

When F. W. Robertson was
asked why a certain Christian
woman of whom he was speaking
was so beloved, and what was
the secret of her influence for
good in her home, he said: “Noth
ing but radiant smiles, beaming
good humor, the tact of divining
what every one wanted, told that
she had got out of self and learn
ed to think of others; so that at
one time it showed itself in dep
recating the quarrel which low
ered brows and raised tones
already showed to be impending,
by sweet words; at another, by
soothing a sobbing child; at an
other, by humoring and soften
ing a father who had returned
weary and ill-tempered from the
irritating cares of business.
None but she saw those things;
none but a loving heart could
see them. That was the secret
of her power. The only charm
she employed was the talisman
of a heavenly spirit and abiding
good humor.”
