Sunday School Board Recommen
dations to Woman's Missionary
Union, Adopted at Annual Meet
ing
Chattanooga Tenn., May Bth, 1896.
1. That the Woman’s Mission Socie
ties emphasize more and yet the more
the missionary feature of the Sunday
school periodicals of the Southern Bap
ti-»t Convention, laying special empha
sis upon Abid IFordx, 7'ftt Leader and
The Teacher.
2. That the societies aid us in intro
ducing into the churches the Home De
partment of our Sunday school work.
This is a new feature with us and we
aim by it to carry the Sunday school
teaching into the homes, so as to reach
those who cannot attend the school.and
attach them to the school.
3. That they continue to work this
year, as for several past, to have Mission
ary Dty in the Sunday-schools observed
by every school they can influence. The
financial and educational influence of
this Day cannot be overrated.
4 The business success of the Board
being assured, that they emphasize its
educational value as a mighty factor
for training in doctrine and mis
sions and the bettering of church life.
LETTER FROM DR J. M. FROST TO WO
MAN’S MISSIONARY UNION EXPLAN
ATORYOF THE RECOMMENDATIONS.
1 hand you herewith recommends
tionsfrom the Sunday School Baard to
the Woman’s Missionary Union, regard
'ng the work for 1896 7 Our Board
has appreciated the great help received
from you, and have rejoiced in having
an ally so able and efficient. We grate
fully acknowledge the great help the
Woman's Missionary Union has ren
dered us in the conduct of this great
business committed to us by the South
ern Baptist Convention
We recognize the Woman's Mission
ary Union, and the Woman’s Mission
Societies in the churches as a great and
growing power for fostering every
work and interest which the Southern
Baptist Convention has in hand.
The recommendations which we have
submi'ted to you, which are more in the
way of requests than otherwise, cover
the large field in which we desire your
sympathy and co-operation.
1 We earnestly desire to give special
emphasis to the missionary feature of
the Sunday school periodicals of the
Southern Baptist Convention as pub
lished at Nashville, Tenn , until every
one comes to think of them as distinct
ively the missionary series of Sunday
school helps.
(a) Kind IKords. both in its weekly
and semi monthly issues, devotes the
fourth page in giving information in
form suitable for children, making it
the best missionary paper we have for
carrying missionary thought into our
homes and Sunday schools. This page
is under the special management of the
Woman’s Missionary Union, and is ably
edited by Miss Alice Armstrong, under
your appointment. .
(b) The Convention Teacher, designed
especially for those who have classes,
presents tvery month a special article
on missions, the subject being chosen
from the Mission Card. We have
learned of many instances in which
these articles have been read, not only
by individuals, but also in Societies,
and becoming there a potent factor for
usefulness. We shall continue this
plan, and you would greatly advance
the cause and help us out in the aim of
these articles, if you could use your in
fluence to induce superintendents in
ordering literature for their schools, to
include also an order for leachsrs, so
that every teacher, as well as others,
might be brought under the influence
of these special missionary articles.
The articles are written by some of our
ablest men, and in the course of the
year cover the whole field of our mis
sionary work. .
(c) The Quarterlies also in all the
grades contain special lessons on mis
sions in general, and on the work of
the Southern Baptist Convention in
particular. In this way these great
subjects are brought to the attention
and laid on the hearts of the children
once in each quarter. If only teachers
can be induced to set their heart and
hand to this task, it must needs prove a
great educational power.
(d) The Young People’s Leader, an
other one of our weekly papers, con
tains monthly missionary lessons pre
pared for Young People’s Societies, and
on the subject chosen from the Mission
Card, and so in harmony with what is
used for chat month in all the literature,
both of the Board and the Woman’s
Missionary Union.
Every increased circulation of these
periodicals is a larger sowing of mis
sionary thought and will yield a larger
harvest, both at home and abroad.
2 It seems to us that the Home De
partment idea in Sunday school work
is not only practical, but may become a
great power. Its main feature is to
carry the Sunday school teaching into
the home, so as to enlist those who
either cannot or will not attend the
school in the study of God’s Word,
keeping along with the classes, and
making a record of their work. This is
a great undertaking, and is far reach
ing in its influence. Here the Woman s
Missionary Union, and the Womans
Mission Societies can render special
aid.
3 Missionary Day in the Sunday
school has proved successful in every
way. resulting in not only sending thou
sands of dollars to Home and Foreign
Boards, but in its uplifting in many
ways We desire to make this even a
greater success for the incoming year
We desire that you help us in the future
just as you have done in the past.
4. In a gereral way we want your
help in setting forth before the denomi
nation the great ed ucational power of its
Sunday-sclvol periodicals. The busi
ness success and money value of the
Sunday School Board and its work are
now well understood. It has given
thousands of dollars to advance the in
terest of Sunday-school missions, with
out asking collections from our people,
but its greatest work and importance
lies in its educational and building pow
er. We should be greatly pleased to
have the Womans Missionary Union,
in every way that may be convenient,
emphasize this phase oi our work. We
are working at the very base of things,
and are aiming for a better member
ship in all our churches, in doctrine
and woi k and life.
Fraternally yours,
J. M. Frost.
The Cathol’c Church in Italy
The religions statistics of the Catholic
church of Italy, recently published, pre
sent some interesting data The present
ecclesiastical divisions are a relic of the
times when Italy was politically divided
into many parts. There are 273 bishopri cs
in Italy. while France, Spain, and
Austro-Hungary, the three great Cath
olic countries of Europe, have together
only 203, and all Europe only 610, and
the entire globe only 894. The single
province of Rome has 28 dioceses. The
bishoprics differ materially in their in
comes. That of Ferrara has an annual
income of 70,000 lire ($14,000), while
Borgo San Domingo must be content
with 6,000 ($1,200). The city of Caltani
setta has but a single congregation, al
though it contains 30,480 souls, while
Arezzo, with 536 souls, has three In
the country congregations there are
even stranger contrasts. Theie are
about 100 charges with fewer than 100
souls (one with only sixteen). There
are 152 charges with more than 10,600.
As a rule the budgets of these charges
are meager, so that the State must con
tribute 2.800,000 lire ($560,000) annually
in order to keep the average of the in
come of the charges at 300 lire ($160)
each year. But there are benefices with
20,000 lire ($4 000) of revenues Th ; s
large list of charges and their small
funds has become a church problem of
first magnitude in Italy. The G izetta
de Venizea in commenting on these sta
tistics. says :
“The difference between the clergy
of Northern and Southern Italy is al
together astounding. That of Northern
Italy is indeed marked by an absence of
the culture and education the clergy
should possess, but it is less ignorant
and stands morally much higher than
the clergy of Southern Italy, which is
simply in a deplorable state in this re
gard. It is quite a common thing
among these hordes of priests in South
ern Italy to find those who are engaged
in usurious practices, who sell them
selves to political parties offering the
highest bids, who have concubines and
have children, who are immoral and
without restraint. They have but one
virtue: they are not willing to further
schism, and with furious fanaticism
cling to the classes from whom they se
cure their support.”— Literary Digest.
Report from Rome —The past year
marks a distinct advance in the gifts of
the Italian Baptist churches, and hap
pily tms has been accompanied by a re
auction in several of tne churches of
the incidental expenses. I have urged
this diiem ma: either your work fl junsnes
or it does not. in the former case there
is the capacity for self help; in the lat
ter you cannot expect much help from
abroad. The argument has tended both
to local economy and local giving. Most
of the evangelists have responded kind
ly and practically to my appeals, and
only one or two seemed somewhat hurt
or offended at the pressure brought to
bear upon them, though this pressure
was strictly within the bounds of cour
tesy and Christian charity.
it is but justice to myself to say that
the training of evangelists and churches
in self help and beneficence is one or the
most delicate and difficult duties of my
position; perhaps equally difficult and
delicate is the weighing and deciding
of the various questions which arise
concerning salary, house rent, and
spe rial aid in the sickness or other ex
traordinary stress of evangelists and
families, as also the questions which re
gard the cnange of fields and transfer
ence of evangelists, and the' retaining
or dismissal of a worker whose gifts and
graces are offset by defects, taults and
mistakes which threaten to compromise
his usemlness. In all cases the effort is
made to hold the balance bet ween jus
tice to the work and to the brethren at
home on the one hand, and brotherly
kindness on the other to all the Italian
evangelists, for whom, and their wives
and children, a tender sympathy is
cherished. I seek to act always under
a deep sense of responsibility to the Con
vention, and above all to Christ.
Rev. G. B. Taylor.

Some Plain Truths —The Prime
Minister of Italy recently gave utter
ance to some plain truths as to the rest
less efforts of the Vatican to regain its
temporal power: "It is not really for
the protection and prestige of religion
that our adversaries demand the resto
ration of the temporal power of the
Holy Ses but for worlily reasons—from
lust of power and from earthly covet
ousness.” Again;- “Christianity is a
divine institution, which is not depend
ent upon earthly weapons for its exist
ence. The religion of Christ, as
preached by Paul and Chrysostom, was
able to subdue the world without the
aid of temporal arms, and we cannot
conceive why the Vatican persists in
wishing for temporal sovereignty to ex
ercise its spiritual mission The Gospel,
as we all believe, is truth. If it has
been disseminated by apostolic teach
ings, such teachings are sufficient for
its existence ” The remarkable fea
ture in these utterances is that they do
not proceed from a Protestant source,
but from one who, in the same speech,
recognizes the Pope to be “Christs vi
car.” — Evangelical Christendom.
From Florence.—Mrs. John Eager,
Italy while in Chattanooga attending
Annual Meeting W. M. U., gave some
amusing yet appalling instances of ig
norance, as shown in letters sent to her.
Such questions as these were not un
common i “Do the Italians speak Eng
lish or do you find it necessary to learn
their language ? ” “Are there any Cath
olics in Italy?” “Have the Italians
ceased to practice the barbarous custom
of binding the feet of their women?
Work of Baptists in Italy.
There are seventeen Baptist missionaries
in Italy. Three of these are American
and the remainder English. There are
thirty-two Italian Baptist preachers
and several colporters and Bible wo
men. These, with 700 church members,
make up the working force of English
speaking Baptists in that country.

The Georgia Unions.
These things commend them
selves to us as needed at this
time among our Georgia Unions.
The first is a right constitution
and basis of organization. This
is very essential. We know there
are Unions in Georgia hampered
by a bad constitution. Members
of any church vote and hold office
in some. Others are cumbered
with committees and reports,
and interminable parliamentary
practice. Escaping some evils
we have slipped into worse. We
repeatour conviction that home
made constitutions are rarely the
best ones. The next suggestion
is that we do something tangible
for missions. Every Young Peo
pie's Union needs to be making
efforts to get money for missions
as well as knowledge of missions.
We can afford no agencies around
our churches thatdo not get gifts
for missions. This is their right
to live about missionary Baptist
churches. The third great need
is to take up, in some form, the
culture or study courses. These
will be abundant within a short
time. They are easily handled
and can be adapted to special
needs. If only a select few take
them, or if the whole concern
gets at them, they are easily
carried through by a pastor or a
competent leader. We believe
these three things are possible to
every Union in Georgia If car
ried through, Augusta would see
the finest Convention of the cen
tury-
Tangibility.
The great question in every
Union is how to produce results
of the right kind. Too much of
our work is of the noisy, bustling
kind. It all needs to be crysta
lized into direct avenues to get to
be, and to do, something. It will
be well at this time for the offi
cer-, and pastor, of every Union
in Georgia, to ask themselves
just what is being accomplished
by the Union. To have a name
and the nucleus of the real thing
is a start and presents a possi
bility at least. The question is,
however, as to just what has been
done or is now being done? Who
has been brought out and devel
oped? Who has been restrained
and held back ? How much has
been given ? Just what is the
real result that would not have
been obtainable through the
other channels of church work.
After a retrospect of this kind
we can well afford to look ahead
and plan to have such practical
results clearly aimed at.
Minutes
We are informed by Mr. F. J.
Paxon, that he has copies of the
minutes of the Georgia B. Y. P.
U. Convention at Griffin, ready
to be forwarded to those desiring
them. They are handsomely got
ten up and give in full many val
uable papers and speeches. We
believe it would benefit every
member of your Union, and so
we advise that you write to him
at Atlanta, and get enough copies
to go around. He will gladly
furnish them as long as they
last.

The Young People’s Leader Topic—
Aug 30.—Finding and Losing.—
Matt 10:39.
This is one of the great sayings
of Jesus. It is also one of his
strangely radical sayings. Plain
ly put in our own language, the
verse means that any one who
seeks his own concerns and de
sir,s the life of his own pleasure,
really loses his life so far as all
the real purposes of life are con
cerned. On the other hand he
who gives up his own life and
loses it that he may accept God’s
way of living, shall gain all that
makes life worthy and useful.
Losing we gain and gaining we
lose.
Especially is this teaching ap
propriate for the young. Be
fore young people there stretches
life with unbounded possibilities.
The way is yet untried and al
lurements are ever before us.
To give up that which seems the
very privilege of living is not
easy. Our religion asks it of
us. To justify this request the
Bible gives reasons. The e are
not always plain to us without
the light of revelation. Jesus
gives his reasons in his command.
Knowing the outcome of the ways,
as the Lord, he commanded men
to give up their own way. Young
people are asked to give up the
one and accept the other because
Jesus commandsit. If we accept
him as divine we must accept his
teaching as divine and follow it
irrespective of our inclinations.
It is to be noticed that it is no
aimless surrender that Jesus
makes “For my sake” comes in
again. Jesus commands, but also
atks. For his sake implies that
we are desirous both of following
him and of serving him. For
such purposes we .let go our own
manner of life. It is when we
lose for Jesus’ sake that we gain.
Many times we rise amid a fail
ure wrought out by pursuing our
own selfish plans and assume
that, having lost our life, we
ought to have this promise ful
filled. The verse implies more
than that. It means a deliberate
and purposeful surrender.
Nor must we expect to imme
diately gain possession of the
newly promised life. The word
find is suggestive. In both cases
we find after search. So it is
with our own life and ambitions.
It comes to us after effort. We
are concerned in this subject with
our legitimate and worthy pur
poses, it may be. Ambitions only
to be gained after a life time, are to
be lost for Christ’s sake. So also
do we find our lives in Christ.
Not all at once, but increasingly.
It shines anew from day to day.
We search and so find.
In conclusion we must also re
member that this is no theoreti
cal subject, but an intensely prac
tical one. It is not some vague
ideal, but the real tangible,every
day life we love so much. Let
us make it practical ourselves.
The Baptist Union Topic, Aug. 30
The Christian’s Motives. 2 Cor.
5:10 15.
This passage has in it the great
bed-rock motives that stir Chris
tians to labor. We are not here
discussing the motives that
ought to lead men to become
Christians, but those that lead
them to activity after they be
come followers of Christ.
The first is the certainty of the
judgment. Nowadays people
frequently make light of this as
a motive. Fear of the future
world is held up as being un
worthy and this world is made
all. The very best answer to
this is the undoubted fact that
Jesus did appeal to this as a mo
tive. We surely cannot dispute
his example as an inspirer of
men. So here we have as a mo
tive stirring Paul, the conscious
ness that he must appear at the
judgment bar of God to give an
account of his doings. This may
still stir us all.
This motive seems to be shad
ed into that of fearing the judg
ment for others as well as our
selves. The fact that our fel
lows must go before that bar is
enough to stir us to action and
persuasion. We may often fall
into a state of moral certainty
that leads to indolence, but the
presence of others unsaved and
unfaithful about us, serves even
then to quicken us to life.
Another of Paul’s motives is
his conviction that whatever he
does has reference to God. If
he is beside himself, it is be
cause he sees God’s way and fol
lows it. If we once conceive of
our conduct being in the sight of
God in Christ, it will lead us to
bestir ourselves very differently.
Yet another mo ive seems to be
his sense of the influence of his
conduct on others. ‘“lt is for
your cause.” These tSoriiitLians
are directly a responsibility of
his. Whether they care for it or
not, he is obliged to consider
them in his conduct. This sense
of affecting others comes out
again in Philippians, where he
shows his solicitude that even
his bonds may glorify Christ to
those about him.
The crowning motives are at
the last. The love of Christ for
him and the sense ofChris.’s
having died for him, bound him
not to live to himself. These are
the two great motives.
Christ’s unfailing love for us
ought to win us to any service
and lead us to every exertion.
That love held on to us when we
were sinners, and it has inter
ceded for us many a time since
then. It cost a great deal and
yet is freely given, not to one
only but to all. How much do
we appreciate the love of Christ
for us? We can measure it by
our deeds.
The other motive is too often
neglected. Christ died for us,
not that henceforth in security
we might lead selfish lives, but
hedied that we might live to him.
The purpose of Christ’s death is
therefore not fulfilled in selfish
Christians. It is fulfilled in re
deemed ones who are also unself
ishly consecrated to the one who
died for them.
These are great motives. The
glory of the Gospel is in its great
truths and the application of
these to small duties and com
mon lives. Every one of these
motives can thus be used and
ought to be.

DAVID’S LOVE FOR GOD’S HOUSE.
Lesson for Sunday, Sept. 6,
1896.
Scripture Lesson.—l Chron.
22:6-16.
Motto Text.—“ Blessed are
they that dwell in thy house;
they will be still praising thee.”
Ps. 84:4.
Disappointment Met Gracefully.
David freely confessed that it
was in his mind to build an house
unto the name of the Lord. He
had set his heart upon it. His
fond ambitions were kindled to
ward the project. And who will
say that his were not worthy as
pirations? But the plans of the
Lord were ordered to be other
wise, and so it was revealed to
David. It sorely tries the human
heart to meet disappointment
along the lines of any fondly
cherished hopes. It has turned
many a life from cheerful sun
shine into perpetual gloom, sup
planted by bitterness like gall
the honeyed sweetness of many
a disposition. He who comes
through disappointments, sweet
temper and buoyant hope shows
himself possessed of the true gold
of noble character. The splendor
of David’s victory here is un
tarnished. When frustrated in
in his own hopes, he labors with
as much diligence to make the
work possible to another as
though he should have all the
glory of it to himself. Seest thou
a man helping and rejoicing in
the success of another where he
has himself been disappointed?
Verily the grace of God is upon
his heart.
lariety of Gifts and Offices. —
David, with all his greatness, had
no monopoly of gifts. It is no
discredit to him to be pronounced
incompetent for certain tasks,
since he had achieved such bril
liant success along other lines.
The Lord had given him the ele
ments of character for a great
warrior, and raised him up at a
time when sharp and decisive
battles were to be fought. When
the very different work of build
ing a temple is to be undertaken,
a man with different talents can
best conduct the enterprise. If
a man is called of the Lord to
preach the Gosje 1 , he should
joyfully strive to do that well,
and feel no chagrin that he
cannot run a newspaper or
conduct a political campaign.
Real dignity and real success
in the Lord’s work are ever
dependent upon our accepting
meekly and heartily the sta
tion and the duty which the Lord
appoints to us. Since he gives
the talent and appoints the task,
they must surely be fitted to each
other.
Variety of Seasons and Surround
ings.— Throughout David’s reign
and life there were constant wars
and tumults. At no time did the
conditions favor a great building
enterprise. With Solomon’s
reign there came a time of pro
longed and widespread peace and
quiet. These contrasted seasons
were of the Lord’s appointment.
Springti me and autumn have each
their own clearly appointed la
bors, and he who would disregard
or reverse the divinely appoint
ed order would surely labor in
vain. Along with the separated
seasons of seed-time and harvest
there are found the varying gifts
for sowing and reaping. One
sows and another reaps. One
lays the foundation beneath the
serface and another erects the
structure thereupon. Neither
shall lack his reward before God,
if he is but faithful. It is a fine
grace to find delight in founda
tion work, such as is but little
seen or praised by men. The
work of the Sunday-school
teacher is often obscure as com
pared with that of the preacher.
The faithful, plodding labors of
the pastor are often dulled and
dimmed before the public gaze
by the noisy and superficial work
of the professional evangelist.
The school, or club, or society in
which a young man comes to
shine may be awarded the praise
that properly belongs to ahum
ble, godly, self denying mother
Let us note well how valuable the
preparations made by David to
the work upon which Solomon
proceeded.
Prosperity through the Lord's
blessing —See how persistently
David puts the Lord foremost and
uppermost. In pointing Solo
mon to the work, he would make
plain the only condition of real
prosperity. The law of the
Lord was to be honored and
obeyed. The Lord was to be de
pended upon for all wisdom and
understanding. A close fel
lowship with the Lord was to be
accepted. The promise of the
Lord to establish his throne for
- was to encourage. At
every step and turn the Lord
was to be recognized, honored,
obeyed. No prosperity could
come apart from the Lord. Fol
lowing faithfully with the Lord
there could be no reason for fear
or dismay.
David's Preparations. — Remem
bering how unceasing had been
David’s conflicts, it is amazing to
note the vast accumulations he
had made of treasures and mate
rials for the Lord’s house, and
how he prepared trained work
men for the varied hearts. There
is scarcely a limit for doing good,
even to a very busy life, if only
the heart be firmly fixed upon it
in fellowship with God.
Time and opportunity can
hardly be lacking to him whose
heart burns and is consumed with
eager desire to do good. It is in
deed blessed to do well our own
work and establish conditions fa
vorable to a yet wider and high
er success to those who come
after us.
Deafness Cannot be Cared
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only
one way to cure Deafness, and t hat Is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is In
flamed you have a rumbling sound or Im
perfect hearing, and when It Is entirely clos
ed Deafness Is the result, and unless the In
flammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to Its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which Is noth
ing but an Inflamed condition of the mu
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.
