ASKED AND ANSWERED.
BY C. E. W. DOBBS, D.D.
Dear Brother Dobbs; Let me state
a case; A man comei before our church
applying for baptism He says he does
not wish to be a member, but feels it is
his duty to be baptized. After some con
versation with him he says he sees his
mistake—that he ought to join the
church as well as be baptized, etc. But
here came another difficulty He said
he was not satisfied as to the doctrine of
the perseverance of the saints. Some
objected to receiving him for baptism
unless he would assent to the entire Bap
tint creed. What ought the church to
do in that case? PASTOR.
Evidently the man belongs to that
numerous class of persons who are "out
of joint ” Doubtless he would find it
difficult to agree to any considerable ex
tent with any body of Christians. Still
we do not regard his doubts hh to the
particular doctrine named as a liar to
his reception for baptism. We do not
think his accession would prove t > be
of much value to the church, for he
would doubtless be disposed to make
trouble by airing his "views” too per
sistently. as such persons usually do.
Yet we know of good Baptists who are
very Arminian in their doctrinal views.
As to that "Baptist creed” we confess
our ignorance. We know of no such
authoritative document unless it be the
New Testament. That is the only
"creed" universally authoritative among
Baptists No church has the right to
impose a man made creed on its mem
bership.
Dear Brother; Our church is some
what divided over the question «h)se
duty it is to superintend the finances of
the church. I contend that according
to Baptist usage that duty belongs to
the deacons. Some of our members say
that the church should appoint a special
financial committee to attend to such
matters. Please tell us what is Baptist
usage. A. K. L.
The usual Baptist opinion is that the
deacons are the financial officers of the
church, and it is the usual thing to have
them attend to that matter. But such
is not the universal custom. Many
churches have special financial commit
tees appointed annually In some sec
tions the trustees attend to all finances.
Indeed in some States the trustees are
the only recognized legal financial an
thority in the churches. In those States
the law of the State prescribes how the
trustees shall be elected, and in their
hands the churches must place the
finances. Os course, by general consent
the trustees are responsible to the
church, and act in accord with its
wishes, if not instructions. It may be
said that sometimes "Baptist usage” is
not to attend to the finances at all. Ev
erything is allowed to drag along. The
pastor is not paid promptly—sometimes
notatall. Current expenses are neglect
ed,and coal bills, gas bills, oil bills, sextons
salary, etc , are constantly brought up
and discussed in conference, to the. dis
gust of those who desire an orderly and
business like method of arranging such
things Every church, at thebeginning
of the year, should carefully estimate
what amount is necessary to run the
church during the year, and then ar
range to meet the expenses promptly as
they oc/nr. Whether this is done by
the deacons or a financial committee is
not of much importance—if it is done.
When was Martin Luther born and
when did he begin his reformation?
Was he drinking man? A Catholic
friend says that he was a notorious rev
eller 1 haveasmall "Bible Dictionary,"
but it does not answer these questions.
BELLE
Martin-Luther was born in Eisleben,
a town in Saxony, Germany, not far
from Wittenberg, Nov. 10, 1483, and
died at the same place Feb 18, 1.54(1. In
1507 he was ordained a Roman Ca holic
priest, having spent two years in an Au
gustine monastery He was a man of
learning, and in 1.508, when only twen
ty five years of age, he was called to
the chair of philosophy in the' I'niversi
ty of Wittenberg About 1512 he be
came assistant preacher at Wittenberg
and soon became famous as an earnest
and vigorous preacher During the
time, as early as 1513, he delivered a se
ries of sermons on the Psalms, in which
he expressed opinions which were con
trary to the teachings of the church,
though he seems to have been wholly
unconscious of divergence from Catho
lic doctrine. It was not till 1517 that
he became involved in actual conflict
with the ecclesiastical authorities. The
occasion was the sale of "indulgences”
by Tetzel in the vicinity of Wittenberg,
Luther was aroused by the shameful
perversion to which these indulgences
led, and after preaching against the per
version, he finally wrote ninety five
theses, which he nailed to the church
door They contained what his ser
mons hail already taught. The date was
Oct. 31, 1517, which is generally regard
ed as the "beginning of the reforma
tion," though that was an incident that
at the time was not intended as a pro
test against the Catholic church, but
rather a defense of its honor. Luther
had no thought of breaking with tl •
church. The theses contended that the
Gospel call to repentance demands that
the whole life shall be an act of repen
tance, and does not refer to priestly
confession and penance. He also as
firmed that the Pope s indulgence can
not remove the guilt of the smallest
transgression; it can only pardon guilt
in the sense of announcing what God
has already done. We give this on the
authority of theSchaff-Herzog Encyclo
pedia. The theses found great favor in
Germany, and within a month every
body was talking about the oold monk,
who had thus dared to antagonize the
Pope's agent who was selling the indnl
gences so shamefully. Luther was led
to further opposition by the attacks < f
Tetzel and others. Os course the breach
widened, and Luther's eyes became
more and more open to the false teach
ings of Rome. He was summoned to
appear before the Pope to answer
charges of heresy, but, fortunately, he
was not permitted to enter the den of
lions. Finally he appeared before the
princes of the empire at Worms (Diet of
W r .s , under the protection of the
Elector of Saxony and the Emperor.
There he was confronted by his accusers
and required to renounce his writings
and submit to the Pope's authority. His
final answer, after much discussion,
was: "I shall not be convinced except by
the testimony of the Scriptures, or
plain reason; for- I believe neither the
Pope nor councils alone, as it is mani
fest that they have often erred and con
tradicted themselves. . . . - lam
not able to recall, nor do 1 wish to re
call, anything; for it is neither safe nor
honest to do anything against con
science. Here I stand. I cannot do oth
erwise. God help me. Amen” In vain
were all endeavors in public and private
by a commiSion of the Archbishop of
Treves to move him. and on May 25,
1521. the ban was pronounced against
him in the severest form. Thenceforth
Luther was excommunicated from the
Catholic church. It was in this Diet
that the name "Protestant" originated.
As to Luther's personal habits, the late
Dr. Schaff declares that "he was emi-
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1896-
nently social in his disposition, a great
lover of poetry and music, an affection
ate husband and father.” ....
"In the company of others he shared
heartily in festivity; but his moderation
in eating was a source of constant sur
prise to Melancthon, who was not able
to reconcile it with his large proportions
of body. Melancthon. who, perhaps,
knew him better than any one. in his
funeral oration eulogized his dignified
bearing under all circumstances, his
sincerity of heart,-hie honesty of speech.
He was always honorable, just, pure
and amiable. ’’
We suppose the truth is that Luther
was a typical German of his time so far
as social habits of drinking are concern
ed. He drank beer with the rest of his
countrymen, and, whatever may have
been his habits in this respect they were
learned among the monks in the monas
tery of Erfurt, where he had been
trained for the priesthood. Luther was
far from being a perfect man. His his
tory is stained with some acts which
Baptists especially must condemn most
earnestly, but there is no reason to
doubt he was a sincere believer in Christ
as Savior, and his character, though in
many respects imperfect, was that of a
valiant soldier of the cross.
Bro. Dobbs; Will you kindly give me
just on/ Scripture text that proves that
the wicked are to have eternal life any
v:li.ere in any conditumt Or that the pun
ishuient of the wicked is to be anything
other than elextruction, death, the "second
death, which will be everlastiny, eternal
death because there is to be no redemp
tion, no resurrection from it?
J. C C. CARLTON.
In our Lord’s parable of the rich man
and Lazarus, he seems to be presenting
the state of the dead. We know no
other interpretation which is at al)
plausible, though we are aware that at
tempts many have been made to rid the
parable of such reference This would
appear to be one text which teaches that
the impenitent who die in impenitence
are conscious, and that they are not to
expect any chance for repentance in the
spirit world. The Lord seems to teach
here that the deliberate rejection, or
neglect, of the warnings of the Word of
God in this life,seals the everlasting des
tiny of the wicked. As our correspon
dent asks for only one text we do not go
into any further discussion. The text is
Luke 10:19-31.
Dr. Dobbs: Is it true that the Baptist
missionaries in China have entered into
an agreement not to go into any part of
that country already occupied by the
missionaries of other denominations? If
so, have they not provtd traitorous to
Baptist principles?
SOUND BAPTIST.
This good brother says he is a "liberal
contributor" to foreign missions, and
thinks he "has a right to speak out
against such a betrayal of Baptist prin
ciples.” We do not think any formal
agreement has been entered into, either
by the societies in charge of the mission
work, or by their respective missionaries
on the fields, but we believe it is a tacit
understanding that they will not unnec
essarily interfere with the territory al
ready more or less occupied by mission
workers. Nor can we see any betrayal
of principle in such agreement. China
is a large empire and all the missiona
ries sent out by all the societies of all
denominations cannot possibly occupy
the whole country open to mission er
fort It would surely seem much better
for the cause that the Baptists should be
left unmolested to cultivate the small
area they can possibly reach, and that
territory occupied by otlm denomina
tions should be left unmolested by our
missionaries, who can find far more
work to do in new fields than they can
accomplish. Certainly it appears un
wise to precipitate denominational con
trovereies in heathen lands. Far better
to try to win the perishing • millions to
faith in Christ, leaving minor questions
to a future decision. We do not know how
far the supposed agreement goes, nor
how practical it has proved in actual
work, but our judgment h that some
such arrangement should be made and
respected if it has not been made And
while on this question,another almost an
alogous to it presents itself. We have not
been able to see the wisdom or the duty
of seeking to evangelize those lands al
ready "Christian " though admittedly
sadly in much error—while the vast ma
jority of the race yet remains in entire
ignorance of the Gospel First, let the
latter hear the glad tidings of redemp
tion.

Butter Making —How to Churn In two
Minutes -Making Money Easy
Only those who have churned butter
for an hour and a half on a warm day
know how hard work it is to make but
ter, and every one will be delighted
with the news that a machine is now
made by The Queen Butter Maker Co.,
of Cincinnati, by which butter can be
made in from two to five minutes.
Anybody can sell 5 a day and make $l5O
a month. The machine is made small
enough so that any farmer churning
from two to five gallons can use the
churn. Any one who wants to make
money should secure the agency for the
Butter Maker. M. T. Hines, Columbus,
made butter in two minutes before six
farmers and sold five on the spot, mak
ing $12.50 in half an hour. Easy to
make money. The Queen Butter
Maker Co . 29 East Third Street, Cin
cinnati, Ohio , will send circulars
to anybody that may desire to
know about the machine. Any
one who is looking for something on
which they can easily make a good sal
ary should secure one of these machines,
and see how easily they can be sold.
Every farmer will buy one.

BOYD.—Our all wise God in hjs wis
dom has taken from our midst our dear
friend and sister, Mrs. Helen M. Boyd,
nee McWhorter, On July 16th, 189 C,
her purified spirit winged its trium
phant flight to the Paradise of the bless
ed.
Sister Boyd was born April Ist, 1836,
in Oglethorpe county, Ga.; united in
marriage with W. S. Boyd February
Kith, 1854 with whom she shared the
joys and ills of life for a little more
than forty-two years. She embraced
Christianity in early life, being only
about eight or nine years old, and be
came a member of Bairdstown church,
in Greene county, Ga., of which Dr.
Mell was pastor,
Enlisting in the cause of her Master
when quite young, she gave her entire
life to his service, and it seems that she
received the special blessing that is
promised to those who seek him early.
Being a working Christian, she
was at all times ready to labor for the
cause of Christ, for the growth and
progress of her church and Sabbath
school, and for the pleasure of her many
friends, who so frequently gathered
around her to enjoy her bright, sunny
smiles, and unlimited generosity.
Every phase in her life thoroughly
convinced her friends and companions
that she was a true follower of the
meek and lowly Savior, who went about
doing good.
Os her, it can with truth be said:
"None knew her but to love her;
None named her but to praise.”
And feeling as we do. that in her
death we recognize an afflicting dispen
sation of providential dealings with us
as a church, causing a loss which we
deeply and sorrowfully regret; there
fore, be it,
Resolved, By the Greenwood Baptist
church that in view of this affliction and
attending loss, it becomes us, as Chris
tian workers, to endeavor more to im
prove our spiritual condition and effi
ciencyfor usefulness, by cultivating in
ourselves these commendable qualities
and traits of character, ho constantly
exemplified in the life of sister Boyd.
2 That we tender our deepest sym
pathy to the grief stricken and afflicted
husband, praying that God will comfort
and solace him.
3 That a copy of this paper be spread
upon our church record a copy be fur
nished the husband of t he deceased, and
also a copy be sent to the Christian In
dex for publication.

KEMPSON.—On the morning of Aug
6, 1896, the immortal spirit of Mrs Su
san Reynolds Kempson passed to that
home beyond the sun ami skies, where
all is light and love.
Although' conscious in a marked de
gree of the transpiring scenes of earth,
for some hours previous to her death
she seemed to be in communication with
loved ones gone before, and appeared to
be greeting those long in the spirit
world.
As gently as the gliding stream upon
whose banks she had so long resided, so
qnietly did the tide of her life ebb away
until lost iu the ocean of eternal love.'
She was born in Edgefield district
(since county) S. C Sept. 19 1827, but
1-eiooyed with to Meriweth
er county, Ga ,in 1845 Her home for
many years was on Flint river, near
Warnerville. Meriwether county, and it
was here that she drew her latest
breath.
She was married to Henry J. Kemp
son June 19, 1849, and in August, 1855,
both united with Mt. Zion Baptist
church, and were baptized by the Rev.
John 11. Milner, of-sainted memory.
Her noble husband lost his life on the
battlefield at Bentonville. N. C., while
in the Confederate service, leaving her
to pass almost the Utter half of her life
in widowhood, which period was cheered
by a noble son and lovely daughter, both
of whom survive her
She was a most exemplary Christian
lady, self sacrifice being a chief char
acteristic, and though an invalid for a
number of years, she bore her affliction
with unusual patience and fortitude
Possessed of brilliant mental faculties
and remarkable memory, and delight
ing greatly in literature, much of her
time was spent in reading and medita
tion.
When able to superintend her business
affairs, she displayed wonderful sagac
ity. even surpassing many of the sterner
sex in the management of the same.
Towards those in her employ her con
duct was such as to command their
highest respect.
Her virtues cannot be enumerated.
Her sense of duty to her fellowman was
keen and discriminating. In the giving
of alms her left hand knew not the dis
pensation of her right.
Although we feel this irreparable loss
most keenly, why should we mourn,
when, after a long and well spent life,
and after repeated struggles with pain
and disease, she is only transferred from
the state militant to the state trium
phant?
We should rather rejoice that “the
struggle's o'er, the vict’ry’s won,” and
strive by the help of Almighty God to
meet her "where parting is no more."
Hers is an eternal home by the River
of Life, where leaves ne’er droop, nor
waters fail, but where eternal spring
abides.
That is the home above,
"Where parting is unknown:
A long eternity of love,
Formed for the good alone;
And faith beholds the dying here,
Translated to that glorious sphere.”

VINING. Whereas, In the provi
dence of God. our beloved brother and
former Sunday-school superintendent
of the East Point Baptist church has
been taken, as one of the fairest flowers
of earth's garden, and has been trans
planted into the heavenly kingdom:
therefore, , „
Resolved, That in the death of Bro.
T N. Vining our town has lost an in
fluence for good and our church and
Sunday-school an emblem of purity.
Resolved 2, That we tender our ut
most sympathy to the sorrowing loved
ones, for we sorrow with them, as a
token of our loss; and may God be your
stay and refuge.

BLOW. —Mrs. Georgia Blow was born
October, 1852 and died August 2, 1896.
She had been a member of the church
for twenty years, being baptized by her
father, who was a pions Baptist preacher
of Georgia. She had many friends, as
was shown by the great crowd which
followed her body to the grave. She
was w iling to die and left it all with
Jesus. We mourn the loss of such a
Christian, but not as those that have no
hope. Farewell, sister; we will,by God’s
grace, meet thee in fairer climes, where
death does not come, nor cruel disease.
God bless the aged mother and family.

Deafness Cannot he Cured
by local applications, hh they cannot reach
tin* diseased portion of the ear. There in only
one way to cun* Deafness, and that is by con
stitutional remedies. De afness 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 isentirely 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
often are caused by catarrh, which is noth
ing but an inflamed condition of the mu
cous surfiu.*es.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused l>y catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Dall's Catarrh Cure.
