ASKED AND ANSWERED.
BY C. E. W. DOBBS, D.D.
Dear Bko. Doubs; 1. Will yougivea
clear-cut difference between public of
fensee and private offeneeH?
2. If one brother offende another in
writing or verbally, in it right to carry
their differences to the church without
the proper uteps being taken before they
are brought to the church?
3 What would be the duty of the
moderator in-care they were brought, or
nought to be brought, before the church
un Scriptural!) ?
4 Can any private differences be enter
tained by the church, without first
bringing charges against one or the
other of the contentautn?
5 In it proper to bring private differ
encen before the church without hist
Hubmitting the matter to the official
members of the church, or a committee
of brethren appointed by the church for
the purpose of bringing the matter in
proper nhape before the church?
(i What in church discipline? Is it to
save or exclude from the church? What
is church sovereignty? Does church
sovereignty justify a church in violating
established customs and rules of the de
nomination, if she so chooses?
7. If a chuich violates established
customs of the denomination, what
course should be resorted to to bring the
church right before the denomination?
How should call conferences be made—
by or through the deacons, or any un
official member? s. G. R
1. Private offenses seem to be such as
our Lord refers to in Matt. 18:15 17,
though, according to Dr. Broadus, the
words “against thee" are not genuine in
verse 15 He would, therefore, make
our Lord’s directi >ns here apply to all
attempts to win back a brother from
sin. Still, he says, the context suggests
personal offenses, and that is yet more
plainly the case in Luke 17:8 Private
offenses are those which one commits
against another personally, while public
offenses are those against public moral
ity Mell distinguishes between the two
kinds of offenses as follows.-‘Private of
senses are those tluit are in:rnonal, com
mitted exclusively against im/iridwt/.s;
as when encroachments are made upon
individual riylitK, interests or Jerlinys
Public offenses are those committed
against religion and morality exclusive
ly. Such sins are drunkenness, profan
ity. lewdness, falsehood, the last not
perpetrated against an individual. Here
the offenses are crimes not against men,
but against (lod." Os private offenses,
Mell mentions asjillustrations, speaking
harshly or disparagingly of one, or
treating him in a cold and repulsive
manner.
2. It is not right to bring private of
fenses before the church before seeking
to adjust them in private.
3 To refuse to allow the matter to be
presented
4 No, though we do not know that
we exactly understand the qu< sti >n
(’harges could not be preferred against
a member without practically bringing
the matter before the church.
5 No trouble should ever be brought
before the church as long as it is possi
ble to settle it privately. The “official
members" would seem to be sp» -ially
(qualified for aiding b ethren in settling
their differences We do lot see how
there could be any "committee appoint
ed by the church unless the matter had
previously been brought before the
cl urch. The church does not appoint
committees to consider -.my matter
winch has not been presented.
(>. To save, not to destroy. Church
"sovereignty” is the authority to judge
and decide all questions for herself,
with no higher court of appeal. This
we take to be what our correspondent
means Each church is sovereign and
independent in that sense. Os course a
church is not justified iu doing wrong,
though it is difficult to say just what
are the "established usages of the de
nomination." Baptist usage, as we
have ha 1 occasion to remark, is a decid
edly variable thing. While each church
is independent, there is also what has
not been inaptly called ' interdepen
dence of the churches.” Denomina
tional comity is to be respected though,
it must be confessed, there are some
Baptists who seem to scorn everything
which looks like respecting the opinions
of their brethren and other churches.
7 We know of no way to dhcijline a
church that is, no Scriptural way. if
a church lias acted wrong in any mat
ter, it would appear to be a proper
thing for wise brethren, possessing the
confidence of that church, to urge the
church to listen to advice, either of in
dividual brethren or of a council The
church by formal vote should call such
council It is not within the province
of the deacons, or any member or breth
ren, to call it If so called, it would not
represent the action of the church. Let
the church, provided she cannot see what
her duty is without this, ask her sister
churches to send messengers to sit in
council to consider the question in dis
pute.
We trust we have answered our corre
spondent according to the sense intended
in his queries.
Dear Index: I’leaseexplain theforce
of the word "church” iu Matt. 10:18.
R.
We fear this question is loaded. Has
not the "landmark" battleraged around
this text ever since the days of Pendle
ton and Graves? But assuming that our
correspondent really wishes to u ider
stand the reference in the passage, we
shall endeavor to answer as brieflj- as
possible. Only here and in chap. 18:17
is the word found in the Gospels The
Greek word (<AA7ec.sia) signified primari
1)- the assembly of citizens in a self
governed state, such as those of ancient
Greece. It is derived from ekkateo, to
call out—that is, from their homes or
places of business, to summon, as we
speak of "calling out the military.” In
a secondary sense.( A A'Ztcsio described any
popular assembly, as in Acts 111:3!\ In
the Acts and the Epistles, and in Reve
lation. the word usually refers to the or
ganized bodies of Christians, accustomed
to assemble steadily for worship. There
are several passages where the word ap
pears to denote the whole company of
believers, conceived of as a multitude,
or ideal congregation, though not for
mally assembling, at least not on earth.
In that sense we think it is used in Eph.
1:23; 3 10: 524 32; Col. 1:18,24; Heb.
12:23. All who are true believers are
members of this ' church.” We do not
see how it is possible to understand
these passages in any other sense, though
we are familiar with the arguments by
which a more narrow view is defended
by good brethren This seems to us to
be the meaning of the word as used by
Jesus in Matt. 1G:18. He referred to the
great spiritual Israel, the spiritual tern
pie. which was to be built upon himself
as the only foundation Sometimes, in
modern parlance, this ideal assembly is
called the “invisible church” in dis
tinction from the "visible church"
which is r» garded as comprising the ag ; ;
gregate of professed Christians in the
world. In the "invisible church” are
none but truly regenerated souls; in the
"visible church,” alas, are many who
have a name to live and are dead.
Christ's promise assures the continuance
of true Christians in the world; for the
"gates of hell shall not prevail against"
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1896.
the spiritual church he builds through
his grace and the ministry of his Gospel.
To refer the promise to "local churches”
would seem to us to rob it of its strength.
It does not refer to any sort of so called
‘ church succession," implying and as
snring an unbroken continuity of prop
erly constituted churches. Whatever
may be the truth ss to such succession,
or continuity, this particular text in our
opinion, has no reference to that ques
tion. We may add a word as to what
has been supported as a corallary of tho
view we have dissented from, namely,
that the "kingdom of Christ” is the ag
gregate of the properly constituted
churches. "The church is the unit of
the kingdom The State is composed of
individual citizens. The kingdom of
Christ of organized churches.” The good
brother, whose very words we quote,
believes that none but Baptist churches
are "orgmized churches;" hence only
Baptis s are in the kingdom! But when
we turn to Col 1:13, we see dearly that
converted individuals are the units of
the kingdom, and that all who are con
verted are in that kingdom This view
of the kingdom makes it co extensive
with the "invisible church”— the multi
tude that no man can number, which
shall finally assemble in glory.
Dear Brother: Please give your
opinion on this question: Is it right for
a Baptist minister to threaten to sne a
church for a salary due him?
a WRONGED one.
From the accompanying letter it is
impossible to say whether our brother
refers to legal or moral right. We sup
pose that a minister has a leyal right to
sue for salary if a contract has been
made which the law can recognize. But
several things must be taken into con
sideration. Has there been a legal con
tract entered into? Has the minister
faithfully discharged his part of the
contract? Has he given himself wholly
to his ministry, rendering faithful pas
toral service—such service as the jury
would say the contract called for? As
this brother says he really wishes ad
vice, we are compelled to tell him that
he had better consult a competent at
torney on these points if he intend! to
sue. Else he may find he has no case in
court On the other hand, if our brother
inquires concerning his niornl right to
sne for his salary, we would answer
with an emphatic no. A minister,
whose character and association with
his charge have not been able to win
that regard which insures the willing
support of his people, would do well to
seriously inquire whether he has not
made a mistake in entering the minis
try. Our advice would be this—before
suing, surrender your credentials as a
minister of the Gospel of peace.
Please explain what is meant by a
"covenant of silt” in 2 Chron. 13:5.
M P. O.
By the law, salt always accompanied
the sacrifices laid on the Jewish altars.
Lev. 2:13. Salt was an emblem of incor
ruptibility, purity and permanence.
Hencs’a “covenant of salt” signified an
everlasting covenant In the East eating
salt together was one method of ratifying
a covenant, just as among our American
Indians the custom prevailed of smoking
the "calumet” pipe of ,>eace. Adam
Clark: "Salt whs the opposite to leaven,
£or it preserved from pu refaction and
corruption, and signified the purity and
persevering fidelity that were necessary
in the service of God. This explains
also the following passages: Matt. 5:13;
Mark 9:50; Col. 4:(>.

GLOVER.—Little Lizzie, the infan,
daughter of F. W. and L. G. Glovert
and granddaughter of A. and M. F Van-
Hoone, died in Gainesville, Ga , on the
25th of June. This is the third little
one that theee fond parents have been
called upon to give up. She came to
gladden the hearts for a few short
months, when God took her to himself.
“God knows the way, he holds the key,
He guides with unerring hand;
Some time with tearless eyes we’ll see;
Yes, there, up there, we ll understand.”

It is a beautiful saying from one
of our poets, who, sneaking of
our birth, says: “Every soul
leaves port under sealed orders.
We cannot know whither we are
going or what we are to do till
the time comes for breaking the
seal.” But I can tell you some
thing more beautiful than this.
Every regenerated soul sets out
on its voyage with an invisible
Captain onboard, who knows the
nature of our sealed orders from
the outset, and who will shape
our entire voyage accordingly, if
we will only let him —Z)r. j. J.

Changed.—When the boy reached
his fifteenth year a great change passed
across his inner life. Hitherto a
thoughtless, somewhat indifferent, un
responsive lad, ha now became intent
on new things. New vistas opened out;
a new seriousness sobered him; a new
thoughtfulness was turning his atten
tion to a larger life than that which had
to do with fuller’s tub and farmer s
team. The weightier interests of the
spiritual life fbegan to absorb his
thoughts First came the struggle, the
wrestling as at. Peniel, till the gray
dawn, The collection of sin was iu
tense, unendurable A realization of
the corruption of the human heart, a
vision of the perfect God. high and lift
ed up—to what conclusion could these
lead save that of unqualified un
worthiness, of utter helplessness? The
conflict of soul darkened and intensi
fied. A whole night was finally spent
in such anguish of spirit that the father
was obliged to sit with him all night
till daybreak. Sorrow endureth for
the night, but joy cometh in the morn
ing. Calm as the sunshine which
flooded the hills the next day was that
boy spirit, which had found peace with
God through our ’Lord Jesus Christ.
On a lovely Sabbath in June he witness
ed, with his two sisters, a good confes
sion, going down with them in mystic
death into the waters of the old mill
stream, which enlarges itself into a bit
of a lake above his home His conver
sion was a new impulse in all directions.
Books had been an aversion, study an
almost penal discipline, With what
avidity did he now go hack to these dis
tasteful tasks! For dia they not con
stitute the necessary preparation for a
future, the anticipation and hope of
which he was now treasuring in his
heart ? This hope and purpose he did
not long keep to himself Shortly after
his sixteenth year had opened he con
fessed before the church his determina
