ABSOLUTELY PURE
Echoes From the Long: Run Associa
lion Dr. Whitsitt Indorsed
at Home.
Editors Index
Dear Brethren -The Long Run
Association, composed of the Louisville
churches and those in Jefferson county,
met in the Walnut Street church of this
city Wednesday, September 2d. This
session will not soon be forgotten The
bold and independent step taken by
several of our churches against the pow
ers that would be (outlined in my pre
vious letter) stimulated attention almost
to intensity. When dear old Father
Powers, re elected moderator as a mat
ter of course, announced the body ready
for business, the large auditorium
was filled with an eager crowd. It was
supposed by many that the form of con
damnatory "resolutions" approved by
the Louisville syndicate of historical
critics.and presents 1 to the Associations
generally throughout the States, would
be pressed up >n the Long R in A«socia
tion too. And then certain valorous
candidates for historical honors had de
dared that they would make many and
long speeches before they would allow
any commendation of Dr. Whitsitt.
Imagine our surprise when a sudden
and desperate attempt was made to pass
the whole matter by in silence. Mr. M.
Carey Peter, a brilliant business man
and a member of Dr Elton's church, of
sered a series of gracious, conservative
resolutions, commending Dr. Whitsittto
the love and confi lence of the brother
hood and. of course, expressing no opin
ion on the mooted historical questions
Before a word could be spoken in udvo
cacy or explanation of these resolutions,
a brother took the floor ami after pious
and pathetic pleas for “peace" offered a
platitudious and irrelevant substitute
Before he eat down, another brother
was on his feet weeping over the broken
harmony that was threatened by these
resolutions the force of this irenic
brother was considerably impaired by
recollections of the active efforts he
made to have Dr. Whitsitt condemned
at the General Association of Kentucky
last June He concluded by moving to
lay the whole matter on the table which
was done by a vote of 64 to 46. This
was not a test vote at all. as many of
Dr. Whitsitt’s warmest friends voted to
table, under a misapprehension- In ad
dition to this, the delegation from the
22d and Walnut Street church were in
structed in Dr. Whitsitt’s interest, to
vote to keep the matter from coming
before the Association. Immediately
after the vote was announced Dr
Weaver moved to expunge the record
from the minutes Tnis was just a lit
tie too much for us, it was bad enough
to have the gag applied by a parliameu
tary trick engineered by parties who
had been manipulating all the Associa
tions they could influence to Dr. Whit
sitt's detriment, but this motion to ex
punge was the last straw. Amid in
tense excitement, Dr John It. Sampey.
trembling with a righteous indignation,
took the floor and defying every at
tempted interruption grandly held it
for more than an hour Instinct with
truth's audacity he mercilessly laid bare
the Il V.sh i n R< cordi r's treatment of Dr.
Whitsitt and vigorously defended him
from every attack. He clearly showed
that these assaults were not upon Dr.
Whitsitt alone but upon the vital prin
ciple of the Seminary itself. In behalf
of the faculty he made a declaration of
independence of the powers that would
fain dominate our Seminary and denom
ination and declared he and his col
leagues would stand for “free research"
coupled with their “firm faith" incur
infallible Bible. To those who had
schemed to prevent such ventilation
this manly speech was a bitter pill.
They made desperate attempts to inter
rupt and take the floor from the speak
er, bat by grace of the moderator and
native backbone Sampey had his say—-
and it will do untold good. The next
morning we came together and passed,
by a rising vote, with only two dissent
ing. the following resolutions, which
are almost identical with those tabled
the day before:
“Whereas, Many of our Associations
have passed resolutions affecting the or
thodoxv of our beloved brother, Dr. W.
H. Whitsitt; and, whereas, chargee
have been made affecting his Christian
character and his fidelity to the Baptist
denomination; and some have even gone
so far as to advise his exclusion from
church fellowship; therefore we, the
members of the Long Run Association,
with which Dr. Whitsitt has labored
for so many years, and of which he is
an honored member, desire to express to
our brethren generally the following
convictions;
“That we are not in a position to ap
prove or refect Dr. Whitsitt's views as
expressed in his articles in the Independ
ent and in Johnson's Encyclopedia.
“Second—That we commend Dr.
Whitsitt as a brother of high character,
of remarkable piety and charity. And
we believe him to be a sound and scrip
tural Baptist.
“Third—We testify, with gratitude
to God, to the prosperity of our beloved
Seminary under the administration of
Dr. Whitsitt, and we promise our loyal
support to the Seminary and pray the
continual blessings of God upon it.
“F. H. Kerfoot,
“J. G. Caldwell."
These resolutions, as you see. are
signed by Dr Kerfoot and deacon James
G Caldwell of Dr. Eaton’s church, who
is also a trusteed the Seminary After
the passage of these resolutions the
great congregation sang with ardor.
“Praise Go 1 from whom all blessings
flow," and our beloved president was
warmly congratulated. The only jangle
in this symphony was a brother who
jumped up s>nd cried, “I see the Sem
inary is running the whole denomina
tion."
There was breathless < lence when the
letters from Broadway and McFerran
Memorial churches were read and with
them their resolutions condemning the
course of the Western Recorder towards
Dr. Whitsitt. A couple of well known
brethren grew excited and threatened a
speech when the report on religious lite r
atu ecameup. Buta'a< that report neve ■
came, if it had and with it the direful
remarks of those irate brethren, there
would have been "a mighty interesting
time,” as I know of others who would
have taken a hand
Instead of prese rting the r p -rt which
had already ueeu prepared by a good
brother, at the close of the session when
there were few present, a delegate arose
and moved that we adopt the same re
port on religious literature which was
Jiassed lAetyear. The motion was quick
y put and the report was adopted with
out ever being read. Thus vou see
how the great Western Recorder was
“indorsed" by the Long Knn Associa
tion without its name being called
The venerable HVatcrii Recorder, for
the first time in 70 years, sought a post
facto indorsement.
Friends of our beloved Seminary will
rejoice to hear that its prospects were
never brighter. We almost envy our
Georgia brethren a paper which stands
so firmly for fair play and truth
Cordially yours,
Carter Helm Jones.
From Dr. Vaughan
Editors Index; I have nothing more
to say on the Whitsitt controversy I
am glad to see that Dr. Robertson exon
erates Dr Whitsitt from the charges of
copying from Dr Dexter
Dr Robertson says: ' I have seen sev
eral times his manuscript copies of the
books in question, which were officially
copied in the British Museum in July
and August, 1680 This date can be in
contestably established. Several of
these manuscript books I have examined
carefully, an 1 especially those which
Dr. Whitsitt appeals to in this discus
sion. Others also have examined care
fully these documents Dr. Dexter’s
book containing many of these same ci
tations, did not appear till December.
1881. Such proof cannot be overturned.”
In the light of this statement, I with
draw what I said concerning this point
a few weeks ago
To the personalities of the brethren, I
have no word of reply. Let the Index
readers be judges of who have confined
themselves to the points in issue.

Intelligence comes to us that some of
our brethren on the frontier in Okla
hotna and the Indian Territory are in a
state of suffering The letters below
will explain the reasons of their condi
tion. The Board would gladly aid more
liberally than it is now doing, not only
these but others just as worthy who are
in equal need of help
Upon whose heart will come the bless

to the help they may give, “1 was bun

Paradise, O , Aug. 21st, 1896.
Dr. I. T. Tichenor;
Dear Brother —The Board of the
Oklahoma State Convention met and
compared the destitution in Oklahoma,
and find it great. The eastern part has
fair crops the wmt is almost a total
failure this year’ s in regard to crops.
We can't describe the suffering that
some of our missionaries will have to
endure. Indeed. I can't see how it is
possible for someof them to get through
the winter As miles of the country are
destitute of any crop there is bound to
be great Buffering in Oklahoma this
winter.
I am well aware that your Board is
in a financial strait, but if there could
be any way provided for these dear self
sacrificing brethren, it would be the
means of taking Oklahoma for the Bap
tists We have lead and have the
confidence of the people. Baptist doc
trine takes with the great mass of the
people, and they want it straight.
Deir brother, can you come to our
convention on the 7th of O ffober. and
see and hear for yourself? Come if possi
ble J. W. Black.
To the Rev. Dr. 1. T. Tichenor;
Dear Brother: We, the members
of the Board of the Oklahoma Baptist
State Convention, would beg to submit
the following for your consideration, in
view of the fact that there is very great
destitution in our own territory There
are whole neighborhoods where the
Gospel has not been heard since the set
tlement of the territory Our ministers
are working grandly and have done
what they could, and are doing a grand
work Most of them have sacrificed
almost everything they have for the ad
vancement of the cause. In parts of
the territory the dry weather and
the hot winds have almost to'ally
destroyed the crops. In the Oklahoma
Baptist District Association there is
only one minister that can possibly stay
without aid from the Board or some
other source. Invie.v of the facts, we
do earnestly request that you do the
very best you can for them in the way
of support. If these brethren leave the
field the Baptists will lose much, and
the other denominations will occupy the
field. Oklahoma might and could be
taken by the Baptists for Christ if
proper means be supplied.

Brother Porter Writes
Key West. Fla , Aug. 25, '96.
Dr I. T. Tichenor, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Brother:—lt gives me much
pleasure to inform you of our success
m Key West, especially among the
Cubans. Brothers O'Halloran and Cale
jo are doing good work here. Bro.
O'Halloran is a very fine speaker, a
natural born orator.
All our Cuban Baptists attended ser
vice at the American Baptist church on
last Sunday evening, and Bro. O'Hallo
rau baptized four Cuban converts. It was
was a beautiful scene to them, “buried
in Christ by baptism," and especially in
Key West, where Scriptural baptism is
almost a mystery to some of our people.
There seems to be a kind of revolution
in the Cuban Methodist church here.
A great many Methodist Cubans are
coming to the Baptist church. Bro.
O'Halloran tells me that all the mem
bers of the Cuban M. E. church have
proposed joining the Baptist church.
Cubans as a whole are Baptists
Our young brother Cale jo has been
here nearly a year and has done an ex
cellent work among his people in Key
West. He is a worthy young man, far
above the average He is a courageous
sound pretoher of the Gospel. He has no
way ot inal iig a living in Key West—he
was driven from Cuba by the Spaniards,
so he is here working faithfully, all for
the glory of God, not for a living
or for money, for he has not re
ceived a dollar for his year's work. Can
you not help him, if it is only a small
amount? It will be money well spent.
Bro. Calejo has never asked me to write
you this, but I do it because I feel sure
he is worth the appreciation.
The once dead Baptist cause in Key
West is alive again
Yours fraternally,

Missionary Box.
The following letter is from one of
our Home Missionaries in Louisiana.
August 21, 1896.
Miss Annie W Armstrong. 9 W. Lex
ington St Baltimore, Md:
Dear Sister : At last the long
looked for box has arrived. It came
from the Knoxville, (Tenn ), sisters.
Mrs. W C. McCoy did the writing
Have j net finished a letter to her. And
now accept thanks from all of us for
what you have done in this matter.
Every article is appreciated and will
be of much service to us. Indeed, it
was a splendid box
Yon sisters can hardly know the value
of this work you are doing. God bless
every one of vou.
Your brother,
Cuban Work.
This report from brother O’Halloran
is cheering. He is among the best of
our Cuban missionaries:
In the month of August he reports 24
sermons and exhortations, 26 prayer and
other meetings, 4 baptisms with total in
conversions of 29,0ne Sunday school with
26 scholars, 7 teachers, 19 religious visits
and I*l7 tracts and 6 Bibles and Testa
meats distributed.
Here is some cheering intelligence
from a brother in Indian Territory:
“Gone nine weeks from home; bap
tized sixty-one ” This is the way our
fathers did—travelling on horseback
from Virginia to Georgia, holding meet
ings in different neighborhoods, baptiz
ing scores of converts and establishing
churches in the wilderness. Thus they
laid the foundations of our denomina
tional strength in those .States, and thus
such men as our brother who writes this
letter, are doing on our frontier. He is
one of the many who have received boxes
through the Missionary Union. How
grateful i< he for their help.
Wister, I. T , Choctaw Nation.
Miss Annie W. Armstrong:
Dear Sister:—l have just got home
after being gone 9 weeks. Found all
well when I got back. Have had some
glorious meetings. I have baptized 61
since the 24th day of June. The Lord
has been blessing my labors this summer
wonderfully. I have never before seen
such interest spiritually as there is this
season.
I will start again on the 7th of this
month to be gone three weeks. Pray for
me. I thought I would write to you
while I was at home. Ido love to hear
from the sisters. May the Lord bleis
you in your work. I will write to you
again when I get home and give you a
full report of my work Remember me
in your prayers.
Your Brother ln Christ.

Floyd County Association.—The
Eloyd County Baptist Association con
vened with Fellowship church, four
miles from this city, on Thursday, the
3d inst. The introductory sermon was
preached by Dr. Headden, and you know
that means it was well done. The ser
mon made a deep impression on the
minds and hearts of the people. There
was a full delegation present, and the
reading of the letters showed no falling
off, if not an increase in contributh ns
from last year.
Dr. R B Headden was re-elected
moderator by acclamation, and Capt.
A B S Moseley, clerk.
Dr J. G. Gibson was present fora
short while and made a fine speech for
missions.
Bro. R. H. Smith was present Thnrs
day afternoon and presented the claims
of the Orphans’ Home, after which he
took a collection, receiving thereby a
right neat sum for the institution. He
also made a talk in the interest of the
Sunday School Board of the Southern
Baptist Convention.
We all regretted that these brethren
could remain with us only a few hours.
The reports upon the various subjects
with the speeches following each, were
all good and showed that the association
is alive to every good truth.
Under the report of the committee on
missions, Dr, Headden made a very fine
speech advocating systematic giving,
and lead the association to agree that
each church would endeavor to raise
each monlh during the next year, one
cent for each Sunday from every mem
ber. The delegates entered into tl e
plan with enthusiasm, and there can be
no doubt but that great good will result
from this undertaking. It seems to
some of us the best plan yet suggested
for raising mission money, and it might
be well for other associations to con
aider it.
Bro. Howard, representing our own
Index, was present through most of the
session, and put in some good work for
the paper. He is a good representative
for the Index.
There was preaching at the church
every day, both morning and evening,
by different brethren.
There was good attendance each day
aid we shall hope for the work done to
p oduce a rich harvest in the near
ruture
Dr. Headden is intending to publish a
monthly paper devoted to missions, and
send a number of copies each month to
every church in the ass elation gratis.
Yours for the Index,
J. W.
Rome. Sept. 7th.
Cuthbert.—According to promise, I
will report my other meeting. We pro
tracted ten days at Mt. Vernon. Clay
county. I preached at every service ex
cent one, when Bro. W. O. Crumbly
aided me. We received thirteen. It is
so pleasant to have the Lord guide for
you in these services Christ sent the
Holy Spirit and things went well
During the twenty days I preached at
my two churches there was not the
slightest disorder. day or night
Now, brethien, can’t you call off Dr.
Spencer and others for awhile and let us
rest? I am one of many that are tired
of this fuss. Let’s pop the rest of our
firecrackers on Christmas, while the In
dex is taking holiday. I see no way
out of this thing unless we just turn
these brethren loose and let them build,
endow, and show us how to run a Semi
nary. They remind me of a story I
heard, when I was a boy, of a dance at
a wire grass candy-pulling. They go*t
things so crooked perhaps I had better
state that I was never at a dance; this
is only the s ory. A well dressed, trained
dancer asked a young lady from that
community to dance with him. She to
her candy partner said: “John, hold this
candy while 1 step a reel with this fel
ler in store bought clothes." The story
ended by saying that when the reel was
up the girl was “mighty tired, " while he
who moved scientifically “had just be
gun to enjoy the dance. ”
Boys, you will be “mighty tired"
when you do anything with “ Unde
Billy.” J I. D. Miller.

A Note From Rev. F. W. Tyler.
Being a new accession to the Baptist
ranks, some may tie sufficiently inter
ested to ask: Who is Dr. Tyler? Let the
following brief statement answer the
question; Dr. F. W Tyler was born in
England, near the city of London, in
1856. He was born again in 1874, dur
ing the great revival in England that
was led bv Messrs Moody and Sankey.
In 1876 he entered the East London Mis
sionary Institute and graduated from
that institution in 1879, when he was or
dained and sent out to Jamaica. West
Indies, where he labored as a medical
missionary for twelve years. God gra
ciously blessing him in his labors and
crowing his efforts with signal success.
To his name be all the glory. After
twelve years of arduous and exhausting,
but delightful service in Jamaica, Dr.
Tyler’s health at length broke down,and
his only chance of life lay in his leaving
the tropics fora more temperate climate.
He came to America in the year 1890
and his health soon improved sufficient
ly to accept a call to pastoral work in
Southwest Georgia. In this work he
continued until recently, enjoying in
this country, as in the West Indies,
much of the Divine presence and bless
ing Dr. Tyler was raised in the Epis
copal church and never doubted until
recent years but that sprinkling was
baptism. His suspicions were first
aroused four years ago when he was
called upon to preach a sermon in sup
Cert of the doctrine of infant
aptism The sermon was preached,
but it converted the preacher to
the other side. After a severe strug
gle, he at length was enabled to get free
from his life long prejudice in favor of
sprinkling and was led to follow Christ
in baptism.
‘ Praise God from whom a'l blessings
flow." Henceforth Dr Tyler will live
and labor among those who stand tor
New Testament baptism. He is anxious
to get back into pastoral work, and will
gladly correspond with any church in
need of a pastor.

baptism were related by Bro. Tom

IS ONE OF THE HHST qI'ESTIONH
ASKED BY A BUNI N ENN MAN.
II Hie Answer Is, ‘ I I se<l l<>, Hu I Have
Token Hie Keeley I lire," (lie Appli
emit Is Aecep e<l Willi I'onllilenee.
Since the establishment of the Mem
phis Keeley Institute in this city, in
March, 1892, many men who were at
one time of great commercial worth to
our city and State, as well as to our
neighboring States, whose only fault
was the drink or drug habit, have been
successfully treated and restored to their
former selves and usefulness, and as a
result business men are loud in its praise,
and from them the world at large may
learn that in commercial circles the
Keeley graduate inspires confidence, at
tracts warm friendships and wins thor
orough and profound respect. One of
the first questions asked by a business
man of an applicant for a position is,
“Do you drink?” If the answer is, “I
used to, but have taken the Keeley
cure,” the applicant is accepted with the
same confidence as if his answer had
been in the negative. Let us review the
result of a half day spent with
THE BUSINESS MEN OF MEMPHIS.
But before proceeding with this high
testimony le!>A|i ..quote once again the
noble words of j’.he late lamented and
ever to be-remenibered
COL. BARNEY HUGHES,
Late general freight and ticket agent of
the Memphis and Charleston railroad,
who said:
“The disease of drink, once contract
ed, has defied the appeals, prayers and
supplications of mother, father, sister,
brother or baby. It has defied religion
with all its power and influence. It has
defied all the curative properties known
to the medical profession. It has defied
the loathsome prison cell. It has defied
the impressionable influence of dying
children. It has defied even the gal
lows itself, and yet. when the power
greater than any or all of these appears
on earth to save and cure, the narrow,
thoughtless, diseased mind will say
that they heard of one man who had a
le'apse.”
Th s was one man who was beloved
by all, and whose word upon all subjects
has ever been listened to with respect.
From Col. Hughes we pass to the busi
ness men. The reporter passed up Front
street asking his questions of a few of
the many great business concerns locat
ed there. First,
THE DEAN-LILY
Coffee and Spice Company, No. 226
Front street. Mr. Dean said: “Yes, I
am acquainted with several Keeley
graduates, and have personal business
transactions with one. He has not re
lapsed, and I find it pleasant and agree
able to transact affairs with him ”
THE J M JAMES COMPANY,
wholesale grocers and cotton commis
sion merchants, have two Keeley grad
nates as employees, and Mr. James says
of them: “We have had no more satis
factory service than is given us by these
gentlemen. Their work is thorough in
every respect, and they can be relied
upon under any and all conditions. I
cannot too heartily indorse the Keeley
cure, nor speak too complimentary of
the splendid work its graduates are do
ing.”
MARTIN WATT,
Produce and commission merchant, has
connected with his firm a Keeley gradu
ate. Mr. Watt said: “Make my testi
monial in favor of the Keeley cure as
strong as possible. There is nothing like
it in the world, and the graduates from
the Institute are not only reliable busi
ness men, but splendid gentlemen in ev
ery sense. My dealings with them have
proved very pleasant."
M. E. CARTER & CO.,
a lso in the produce and commission
business, gave a strong testimonial in
behalf of the Keeley Institute and grad
uates. “We employ a graduate.” said
Mr. Carter. “He is one of the best men
we have in the house, and has our confi
dence and respect. ”
DAY.& BAILEY,
wholesale grocers and cotton commis
sion merchants, swell the quantity of
kind words. Mr Day is strong and em
phatic in his encomiums upon the cure.
“It bas made new and reliable men,”
says he, “out of material which was
supposed to be hopeless. My own busi
ness relations, and they are intimate
ones, with Keeley graduates assure me
that they not only, as a rule, remain free
from strong drink, but become reliable,
trustworthy and high-toned men."
J. S MENKEN,
of the great wholesale and retail dry
goods emporium, says: “I very gladly
give >a testimonial not only to the effi
c icy of the Keeley cure, but to the fact
that the Keeley graduates coming under
my notice are giving thorough satisfac
tion in the business world. The cure ac
complished for two young men with
whom I have had bnsiness relations sus
tain all that is claimed for it. With
one my commercial aid social relations
were most satisfactory; with the other
I am still extending to him both busi
ness confidence and social friendship ”
JOHNSON, CARRUTHERS & RAND,
the great wholesale boot and shoe house
and shoe manufacturers, is another firm
that testifies to the permanency and
benefiis of the cure. “Put usdown,"
said Mr. Johnson, “as giving strong per
sonal evidence to the fact that Keeley
graduates are reliable and trustworth
men. We know it because we have in
timate business connections with som
of them. ’’
EVERY FIRM ASKED
testified to the permanent and beneficial
results, and there is no doubt that if a
canvass of the entire city should be
made there would be found not one bus
iness house but what could and would
speak words of praise for the great cure.
The newspapers as a unit know that the
cure is permanent in nine-tenths of the
cases treated. The Commercial Appeal,
tle Scimitar, the Sunday Times and the
Catholic Journal have at one time or an
other oeen called upon to note the per
manence of the cure, and in almost
every instance there has been nothing
even to intimate that the treatment has
not oeen all tnat is claimed for it. In
deed, each of these papers have in its
employ men who are Keeley graduates,
ana consequently are enabled to speak
with perfect ana complete knowledge on
the subject.
FROM THE GRADUATES THEMSELVES-
Testimonials from graduates are sel
dom asked for, but the men themselves,
feeling a desire to persuade friends to
follow a course that has proved so bene
ficial to themselves, have in the interest
of humanity, spoken in strong terms
commending the permanency of the
Keeley cure. As the Memphis Keeley
Institute has treated some 3,500 mor
phine, opium, cocaine, chloral and whis
ky patients—bookkeepers, brokers, bar
tenders, cleiks, commercial travelers,
court etti •ials, engineers, farmers, jour
nalists, lawyers, doctors, merchants,
ministers, mechanics, railroad men.river
men and others —it is evidently impossi
ble to publish the testimony of each
one. These graduates represent twenty
six States. Send for literature
