ASKED AND ANSWERED.
BY C. E. W. DOBBS, D.D.
I am not Hatigfied with the explana
tion given of the phrase, “Thou haat
given me the necks of luineenemiea " It
ia in our Sunday-school letteon for Sep
tember 13 I think 1 have read some
where of such a anatom aa putting feet
on the neckn of con<|tiered enemiea. The
explanation tint forth in our quarterly
helps made the phrase mean to retreat,
Ih that the meaning?
M. Y. G,
In the Revised Version we read;
‘ Thon hast also made mine enemies
turn their backs nnto me." (3 Sam.
22:11.) This rendering would seem to
favor the explanation given in the quar
terlies. and it is ho understood by most
commentators. Therein another possi
ble meaning—that hinted at by onr cor
respondent Such an act is seen in
Joshua Id .‘I It wrh ciiHtomiiry for con
qnerors bo to treat their vanquished foes.
Gibbon nays that the Persian monarch,
Sapor, subjected the captured Roman
Emperor Valerian to just such indigni
ty In the Hebrew the verses are in
poetic form The second cl a tHe of verse
11 favors rather the second interpreta
tion.
Did John Wesley, the father of Meth
odistn, believe in and practice immer
sion? INQUIRER.
We presume Mr. Wesley believed and
practiced according to the custom of the
Church of England, of which he was a
priest. Tho ritual of that church allows
either pouring or immersion. The prim
itive practice of the church was immer
sion, but affusion was permitted in cases
of sickness or weakness. By the time of
Mr Wesley the latter had practically
banished the earlier action. While Wes
ley admits that Romans (>:4 and Col
2:12 refer to the primitive act of immer
sion, he as strenuously contends that the
baptism of the multitudes by John was
by sprinkling. In his “Journal,” pub
lished by the Methodist Book Concern,
of New York years ago, he tells of re
fusing to baptize an infant in Savannah,
Ga , unless the parents would certify
that it was too weak to stand immer
sion. in which event he was ready to ad
minister sprinkling. The truth is, that
Mr. Wesley was not always consistent
with himself. Sometimes he was a
great stickler for prescribed forms; at
other times he treated those forms with
apparent contempt. But what matters
it? We are not to follow Wesley, but
Christ and his Spirit guided apostles.
Our correspondent says he “is a Metho
diet, and desires to follow Mr.-Wesley’s
rule " Dear brother, let us persuade
yon to follow your Lord, rather than
any man, however wise and esteemed he
may have been.
What did Paul mean by saying he had
"fought with beasts at Ephesus?'' I can
find no account of any such fighting in
the inspired history. L. S.
The expression is found in 1 Cor.
15:32. With almost unanimous consent
the commentators regard the word as
figurative, meaning that Paul had en
dured great conflicts with brutal men,
who thirsted as wild beasts for his
blood. He had himself “made havoc”,
of the disciples that is, he had “raged
as a wild beast” against them. Such is
the meaning of the word in Acts 8:3 To
what particular event Paul refers in the
Corinthian passage we do not know.
According to Conybeare and Howson,
the First Epistle to the Corinthians was
written before the scene described in
Acts 19:23-41. Paul's Roman citizenship
would have preserved him from con
demnation to the beasts. It was no un
common thing in later persecutions for
Christians to be compelled to fight with
beasts in the arena, but such does not
seem to have been Paul's meaning here
If he had been so exposed, it is incon
ceivable that no mention is made of the
fact in the Acts, or elsewhere in Paul’s
epistles.
What are the “things hard to be un
derstood” to which Peter refers in his
second epistle, third chapter and six
teenth verse? m J. H.
There is nothing to indicate Peter's
reference. He probably meant some of
the dtep mysteries discussed by Panl in
his several epistles. For example, the
ninth chapter of Romans and the fif
teenth chapter of First Corinthians.
Also 2 Cor. 12:1-7; Gal. 4:2131; 1 Thes,
4:13 17; 2 Thes 2:1 12. Any writings
coming from those who claimed to be
inspired by the Infinite Being,and treat
ing of themes so sublime, must necessa
rily contain much that is beyond finite
comprehension—things “hard to be nn
derstood” in their fullness Yet
the Scriptures, as a whole, are
easy to be understood. It is not
hard to find God in the Bible when we
look for him in the right spirit. Nor is
it difficult to find the true teachings of
the Word when one is willing to let the
W ord say just what it wishes to say.
Here is the trouble: Too often we come
to the Word with prejudices, unwilling
to receive meekly its teaching Sin in
the heart will close the Bible so tight
that we cannot see its meaning. We
should ever pray, when studying God's
Holy Word, as did the Psalmist: “Open
thou mine eyes, that I may behold won
drous things out of thy law.” (Ps.
119:18 ) A loving and obedient heart is
the one supreme essential to the proper
study of the Word.
Is it Scriptural to ordain deacons by
the laying on of hands? Were not the
deacons of the New Testament preach
ers? Can a deacon resign his office?
We have very little satisfactory data
in the New Testament in regard to these
questions. It is common to find the ori
gin of the deaconship in the sixth chap
ter of Acts, but the seven are nowhere
called “deaccns" in the-New Testament
Still the apostolic example of laying on
bauds, in inducting the seven into their
work, furnishes a beautiful and impres
sive precedent Ministers and deacons
are officers in the church of Christ, and
as such there would seem to be peculiar
appropriateness in inducting them into
office with some such solemn ceremony.
While it is true that the apostolic la ing
on of hands was to impart extraordinary
spiritual gifts, there is no impropriety
in following the example now. both in
the ease of deacons and ministers. We
do not indeed find aay command for such
service; it comes within the general di
rection that all things be done decently
and in order.
According to Baptist teaching the
“deacons” are not preachers, in the offi
cial sense. They are distinguished from
the preachers, or elders, or bishops
(synonymous terms), in Phil. 1:1. In the
New Testament the original word
diakonos ,deac n) is used with great lat
itude of meaning, including apostles,
preachers, any servants, even Christ
himself. In the later New Testament
writings the word appears to have be
come the accepted designation of a
special class of officers serving the
churches
We see no reason why a deacon may
not resign his office if he feels it his duty
to do so. We suppose our correspondent
means resign as a deacon in a particular
church.
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THUKBDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1896.
Please explain Acta 19:1 7. I have
met some who contend those twelve dis
ciples were really baptized again by
water. B M. G.
Dr Hackett well remarks that this
episode is one of strange interest, from
the very fact of its suggesting so many
questions the solution <>( which our itm
perfect knowledge of the first Christian
age has put beyond our reach. While
this to true, we think there can be no
reasonable doubt that the twelve men
were rebaptized in water The circum
stances were peculiar, and did we know
more of those circumstances doubtless
we could see more clearly the reason
why they were rebaptized Os one
thing we are sure—the rebaptism was
not because John's baptism was gener
ally regarded as invalid. The apostles
had received no other baptism. (Acts
1:21 20 ) Nor do we anywhere read of
any instance of the rite lining re admin
ister»d to any of the multitudes baptized
by the forerunner Note carefully the
circumstances of this peculiar case.
Pan) finds certain men at Ephesus, whom
Luke calls “disciples”—probably be
cause they were sincere believers ac
cording to their light, though their
knowledge was confessedly very imper
fect, as the after record shows It seems
evident from their ignorance that they
were strangers in Ephesns.ard that they
had not yet come into contact with the
Christians in that city Panl asks.
“Did you receive the Holy Spirit when
you believed?” (Revised Version, which
is the correct rendering of the tense in
which the verb is found in the Greek.)
Evidently there weie special reasons
why the apostle asked this question —
reasons of which we are not informed.
The reply revealed fundamental igno
rance Though they had received the
“baptism of John"—perhaps from some
disciple of John after his baptism had
been superseded by the establishment of
the Gospel kingdom—they had not
learned of the extraordinary events at
Jerusalem and the descent of that Spir
it, of which John in his own ministry
had told his immediate disciples (Matt.
3.11.) In their ignorance, and the peen
liar circumstances connected with their
baptism, of which they almost certainly
informed him, Paul saw so great irreg
ularity that he deemed it proper for
them t > receive theordinance in its fuller
Christian significance. The attesting
reception of the Holy Spirit was proba
bly intended as extraordinary witness
to the Ephesus church, and of his apos
tolic authority and service among them.
Please explain in your Asked and
Answered column Ezek. 36.25. Does it
refer to baptism?
SUBSCRIBER.
Os course not. Baptism is an ordi
nance of the New Testament, and no
passage of the Old Testament has any
thing to do with it. The Ezekiel text
reads: “I will take you from among the
nations, and gather you out of all the
countries, and bring you into your own
land. And I will sprinkle clean water
upon you, and ye shall be clean,” etc.
The prophet is writing of the restoration
of the captive Jews from Babylon, and
of the better state of religious life which
would follow that restoration. Os the
phrase ‘ sprinkle clean water" the Meth
odist commentator, Dr. Adam Clark,
says; “The influences of the Holy Spirit,
typified by water, whoss property it is
to cleanse, whiten, purify, refresh, ren
der healthy and fruitful.” Verses 26
and following show just what the
prophet meant. To quote the words as
referring to baptism is a dishonest use
of the Word of God No man who val
ues his reputation for scholarship or
candor will so quote them. There can
be no doubt that after the restoration
from Babylon the Jews were a much
more spiritual people than ever before
in their history. As Henry says, they
were “effectually cured of their inclina
tion to idolatry." The expression “clean
water" refers to the “separating” or
“cleansing" water of the Mosaic ritual.
That was not pure water, bnt water
mixed with blood and other substances,
according to the prescription of the law
In the nineteentu chapter of Numbers
we learn of this water, Os course the
prophet uses the phrase figuratively,
meaning that God would (io for the
Jews what the water signified.

Resolutions
ADOPTED BY THE FIRST BAPTIST SUN
DAY-SCHOOL ON THE DEATH OF MR.
AURELIAN F, COOLEDGE.
Your committee appointed to draft
resolutions on the death of onr departed
brother, A. F. Cooledge, beg leave to
submit the following:
Having completed his Master’s mis
sion on earth, he was taken from us to
his eternal home to be with him in
glory-
In the little town of Cotton Hill, Clay
county, Ga., in the year 1854, 42 years
ago, Aurelian F. Cooledge was born.
On Tuesday, Angust 25th, 1896, at 7
o’clock in the morning, when all nature
wah being awakened into activity, his
soul passed out from its mortal encase
ment into the presence of his divine
Master, who had called him to his heav
enly reward, and to install him in that
mansion which he had prepared for him.
It was when his parents lived in Dal
ton, Ga., and while yet a boy, he real
izfd the urgent importance of obeying
that command: “Seek ye first the king
dom of God.”
This he did, and was baptized by Rev.
Dr. Lofton, then the pastor of the Bap
tist church of Dalton, and from boyhood
to manhood, and from manhood until
death, he strove to walk in all of God's
ordinances blameless.
Choosing as his vocation “stenogra
phy," and completing his education at
Mercer University, Macon, Ga., became
to Atlanta in 1875 and shortly thereaf
ter became Court Stenographer, which
position he held and filled with signal
ability up to within a short time of his
death.
In the daily walks of life he was loved
and honored by his fellowmen, who
placed him in positions of honor and
trust, which he conscientiously and
faithfully filled. In his profession he
reached the highest attainments. Judges,
bar, and court officials all bear testimo
ny to his eminent capacity, ability and
trustworthiness His home life and
family relations were all that could be
desired. His domestic instincts and
love of family were hie greatest earthly
joys. A devoted, loving, tender husband
and father. Sadly he will be missed
from the family gathering, and what a
void is created in the hearts of the loved
ones who yet remain; but thanks be to
onr Maker, the separation is not eternal,
for in the course of time a glorious and
happy reunion awaits them on the other
shore, where those bereft will meet and
join the loved ones again, where no
earthly parting can ever come.
He was one of two brothers (Fred J.
Cooledge remains) With them there
was a unity of feeling and purpose al
most unequalled. Their love and affec
tion were so strong for each other as to
attract general attention and admira
tion, and cause remarks of hearty ap
proval from friends and neighbors.
Their identity of interest in all affairs,
both of social and business life, was in
deed rare and beautiful. Their aspira
tions, joys, sorrows and troubles were
the same, and remind us of the unfailing
friendship of David and Jonathan—their
souls were knit together.
He has seen three of his dear children
laid to rest; only one remains He goes
to join the three and await the coming
of wife and son.
For the past two years he was a con
slant sufferer,and searched far and wide
for the reHtor-.rion of health. During all
of his sufferings, sorrows and Htfiietions
he was never known! to complain. On
one occasion, when sLoken to about his
afflictions, bis reply) was: “Though he
slay me, yet will 1 trust him ” His
whole life was highly exemplary, and
his resignation to his Master's will, his
love sot and trust in him were simply
beautiful.
He has been a constant member of this
church for the past fifteen years or
more, and a teacher in the Sabbath
school almost as long. For the past four
years he has been the faithful teacher of
the Bible class. His presence in the
church and Sunday school, so dear to
his heart, was an inspiration to us all,
and the soul-inspiring words uttered in
his Bible class and in our teachers’ meet
ing (which he so faithfully attended),
will long linger in our hearts and
thoughts, as a precious memory to draw
us nearer to the God whom he dearly
loved faithfully trusted and implicitly
obeyed.
“Friend after friend departs,
Who has not lost a friend?
There is no union here of hearts.
That has not here an end.”
Therefore; Be it
Resolved 1, That in the death of our
dear brother, the church, the Sunday
school and the Bible class hive sustained
a loss that will long be felt and sincerely
mourned by all who knew him and ad
mired the lovely traits of character that
adorned his Christian life.
2, That the community in which he
lived has lost an earnest, conscientious
and highly esteemed citizen.
3, That the courts of this circuit,
which he served so long,so satisfactorily
and so efficiently, deplore his death as a
severe loss
4, That in all the walks of life, both
public and private, he bas left us an un
stained record worthy of example.
5, That in his sickness, sufferings and
family bereavements, he has bequeathed
to us a monument of patience and resig
nation to the will of God.
6, That in this dark, sad hour of his
loved ones left behind, we offer them our
sincere and hearty condolence.
7, That these resolutions be spread
upon the minutes of our Sunday-school,
a copy be sent to the family of our de
parted brother, and also to the following
papers, with a request for publication:
The Christian Index, the Chi'istian
Herald and the city papers

MURROW.—Brother M. A. Murrow
was born September 25th, 1857. At
eighteen years of age he united with
the Baptist church at Union Point. He
married Miss Georgia Vining soon after
he located at Rutledge, Georgia. On
September 4th, 1896, he was called
from the home on earth, where he was
so fondly loved and cherished by the
dear wife and fond children, to whom he
had devoted his best energies and given
his deepest affection, to his home in
heaven. Whereas, God in his all wise
providence has removed from our
church one of onr most liberal givers

There Is more Catarrh in this section of the
country t tan all other diseases put together,
and until the l«st few years w <s supposed to
be incurable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease, and pre
scribed local remedies, and by constantly
falling to cure with local treatment, pro
nounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con
stitutional cure on the market. Jt is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood and
mucous sui faces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case It fails to
cure Send for circulars and testimonials.

Hall's Family Pills are the best.
The poor are often more anx
ious for mental improvement
than the rich. Poor girls often
have more strength of character
and more ambition than most of
the wealthy girls. If some of
them had the chatice, they would
make their country proud of
them. There may be many Rosa
Bonheurs, Harriet Beecher
Stowes, or Mrs. Brownings
among them. How much the
millionaires who know not what
to do with their millions, how
much they might do for their
country, for the world, if they
would found schools where the
poor girls might receive educa
tion, with music and art depart
ments! If they were furnished
with some employment along
with the school, that the girls
might earn a little more than
enough to clothe themselves re
spectably, it would be still bet
ter. — M. E. G.
Do not wear impermeable and tight
fitting bats that constrict the blood
vessels of the scalp. Use Hall’s Hair
Renewer occasionally, and you will not
be bald.
