ASKED AND ANSWERED.
BY C. E. W. DOBBS, D.D.
I cannot nnderntand two paHsagbH
they are Rev 2:15, and verse 20. Who
were the Nicolai tans 1 Was there a real
woman named Jezebel at Thyatira?
A. B. 0.
Very little can be said positively as to
the "doctrine of the Nicolaitans,” or of
the origin of that doctrine. The idea
that the Nicholas named in Acts 6:2,
one of the “seven," was the leader of
those here condemned by JesuH, sbonld
l»e distniwied at once as wholly a gratui
tons assumption without a shadow of
foundation. The common view is that
the "doctrine of Balaam" referred to in
verse 14 is identical with the "doctrine
of the Nicolaitans. ” But what was the
doctrine of Balaam? By referring to
the history (Num. 31:16), it will be seen
that Balaam advised Balak to tempt the
Israelites through the women of Midian.
The implication is that similar sinful
enticements were held before the church
at Pergamos. Carpenter (in Ellicott)
says: "The simplest meaning of the
passage seems to be that the temptation
to which the Israelites were exposed is
used to illustrate the temptations of the
Pergamene church, through the teach
ing of the Nicolaitans.” As to the
identity of the ‘‘Jezebel” of verse 20,
Carpenter says; "The sin alleged against
her is the same for which the Nicolai
tans are condemned—fornication and
the eating of things sacrificed to idols.
* * * A large number of respectable
critics regard Jezebel as a name applied
to a faction, not as belonging to an indi
vidual. It seems best to view the name
hs symbolic, always remembering that
the Jezebel spirit of proud, self-consti
tuted authority, vaunting claims of su
perior holiness, or higher knowledge,
linked with a disregard of—and perhaps
a proud contempt for ‘legalism,’and
followed by open immorality, has again
and again run riot in the churches of
God.”
The Portable Commentary says that
Nirohi.on is the Greek version of Balaam
(conqueror of the people) Revelation
abounds in such duplicate Greek and
Hebrew names. The name, like other
names, Egypt, S(. lorn, Babylon, is sym
bolic. The ‘ Nicolaitans” are not a sect,
but professed Christians, who, like
Balaam of old, tried to introduce in the
church a false freedom, that is, licenti
ousness. * * * * These symbolical
Nicolaitans, or followers of Balaam,
abused Paul’s doctrine of the grace of
God into a plea for lasciviousness. See 2
Pet. 2:15, 16, 111; Jude4:ll who both de
scribe the same sort of seducers as fol
lowers of Balaam
It is with difficulty that we can think
of the possibility of such perversion of
doctrine, or such perversion of morality
as is hinted at, but we must remember
that lasciviousness characterized much
of ancient idolatry, especially the idola
try of that Baal worship, of which the
historic Jezebel seems to have been a
priestess Just emerging from the
putridity of heathenism, as the churches
of Asia Minor were, they may have
been.exposed to temptations, even under
the guise of religion, which would be
impossible in our better modern ideals.
Why is Rom. 6:5 changed in the Re
vised Version from the old "planted to
gether” to "united with him " ? 1 have
given some thought to this text and can
see no good reason for the change,
either in the Greek or the English.
W. H. C.
The change was made by a different
view of one word in the Greek, which
is not found elsewhere in the New Tes
tament the word suinphutos. The King
James revisers thought this word meant
"planted together." So did Jerome,
and in the Vulgate we find complantati,
which the Rhemish version renders just
as does the common English version.
Both the Greek and the Latin are com
pound verbs the Greek being composed
of sun and phuo. Coneybeare and How
son translate: "For if we have been
grafted into the likeness of his death."
In a note they say: "tiuntphulo ijeyona
mm, etc., literally, have become par
takers by a vital union (as that of a
graft with the tree into which it is
grafted) of the representation of his
death (in baptism) The meaning ap
pears to be, if we have shared the reali
ty of his death, whereof we have uu
dergone the likeness ” The verb p/iwo
occurs three times (Luke 8:6; 8:8; Heb
12:15) An allied verb phuhu) is found
eleven times, in every instance trans
lated pleated (e. g. Matt. 15:13; Luke
13:6; 1 Cor. 8:6). There is confessedly a
difference in the force of ]>hno and
phutuo, and yet they have the same
root significance. Dr. Adam Clarke
says:
"If we take the word planted in its
usual sense, we shall find it to be a
melaphor as beautiful and as expressive
as the former. When the seed or plant
is inserted in the ground, it derives
from that ground all its nourishment,
and all those juices by which it becomes
developed; by which it increases in
size, grows firm, strong, and vigorous;
and puts forth its leaves, blossoms and
fruit The death of Jesus Christ is rep
resented as the cause whence his fruit
fulness. as the author of eternal salva
tion to mankind. is derived; and genu
ine believers in him are represented as
being planted in his death, and growing
out of it; deriving their growth, vigor,
firmness, beauty and fruitfulness from
it.”
Whatever may be the correct conclu
sion as to the better rendering of the
verb, it is quite certain that there is no
adequate authority for "by the like
ness," etc. There is no preposition an
swering to by in the Greek The Bible
Union rendering is: "If we have be
come united with the likeness," etc.
The Greek word for likeness (liomoto
mail) is in the dative, and may as well
be rendered with the in, as in the com
mon version. Upon the whole it would
appear that the change from the old
rendering is indicative of pedantry,
rather than any extraordinary faithful
ness to the original.
Are local option and prohibitory laws
real ‘‘sumptuary laws"? W’hat was the
origin of such laws? ELLIS.
The authorities at our command do
not give the origin of sumptuary laws.
They have existed in both ancient and
modern states These laws regulated
the expenses of citizens in matters of
i food, dress, furniture and the like.
I They were intended to restrain extrava
| gance The earliest sumptuary laws of
which we know anything were those of
' ancient Greece, some of which forbade
the common people having houses or
furniture which could not be built with
simple ax and saw. Some prescribed
the number of persons permitted at
feasts or other entertainments, and the
expenses of funerals, etc. The sumpt
uary laws of England are first met with
in the fourteenth century. They at
tempted to regulate the clothing and
food of the people, even of the "great
men.” In 1363 it was enacted that the
servants of gentlemen, merchants, and
artificers should have only one meal of
flesh or fish in the day, and that the«
other food should consist of milk, butter
and cheese. The "great men" could
have but two courses of flesh meat at a
meal. The extravagance of the "great
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1896.
men" was cited as having a bad effect
on "persons of inferior rank imitating
their example beyond what their ata
tions required and th sir circumstances
could afford."
It will be seen that our local option
and prohibitory laws do not come with
in the range of sumptuary laws, for
they do not prescribe or forbid what the
citizen shall eat or drink or wear. They
design to restrain or crush an evil
which is ruinous to the public peace
and subversive of social order. The
highest legal decisions have sustained
temperance legislation as within the
constitution and police jurisdiction of
the States. To brand them as "sumpt
nary ” legislation simply betrays the lack
of good arguments against them.
A friend of mine tells me that there is
great doubt whether we have any gen
uine writing of any of the apostles. He
says that the very beet critics now ad
mit that the New Testament was writ
ten not earlier than the second or third
century after Christ. What is the truth
about this matter? M. R. F.
Something along this line has only
recently been given in this department
of the INDEX; but we briefly reply to
our correspondent’s inquiry. We do
not know who are the "best critics” re
ferred to by this very wise friend of our
sister, but we do know that what he
says is not true. The best critical
scholarship in New Testament matters
declares that the sacred volume as we
now have it, was written before the close
of the first century. This is practical
ly the unanimous opinion. There is
among some writers a doubt as to a few
of the New Testament books, such, for
example, as Second Peter, Second and
Third John, Jude and the Revelation;
but the doubt is not entertained by the
vast majority of scholars The German
rationalistic school in the last genera
tion did try to throw doubt on the gen
uineness of the several writings, but
their arguments have been so completely
refuted that we do not now hear much
from that quarter. Indeed so signal
was the victory for the New Testament
that the rationalists themselves admit
that at least four of Paul’s writings
were really from his pen. The four
are Romans, Galatians, First and
Second Corinthians. Equally conclu
sive is the evidence for the authenticity
of his other epistles, as well as for nearly
every other part of the New Testament.
Out of the fiercest fires of adverse criti
cism the Word of God has hitherto
come forth unscathed, and our faith may
rest confidently in the substantial in
tegrity of the sacred volume as we have
it. -
I am anxious to arrive at the truth,
and want to awk one more question
which I hope you will answer in the
Asked and Answered column; Is it not
a fact that Exodus 20:11 proves that the
Sabbath was instituted the very day in
which God rested from bis creative
work? T. J- B
No more than Dent. 5:15 proves that
it was instituted at the departure out of
Egypt. The decalogue looks backward,
and declares that the Sabbath coinmem
orates the creation. It does not affirm
that it was instituted immediately at
the close of the creative "days” As
"sabbath” meant rest, it was fitting that
when God saw fit to positively institute
the weekly rest day, he should give his
own resting through his long "sabbath”
(rest from creation) as the basis of the
observance. So when the sacred histo
rian was writing the history of the ere
ation, after the law had been given on
Sinai, it was very natural for him to
state, parenthetically (Gtn. 2:3), that
the Sabbath, which God had recently
given his people, looked backward to
the creation. We do not regard this
point as of supreme importance; still we
are confident it is the true explanation
of the passages in question. The plain
references to the Sabbath as an institu
tion of the people whom God had
brought out of Egypt, and the fact that
it is never mentioned as given to any
other people, iu our opinion, confirm
our interpretation. As we have so fre
quently said, we do not need to go back
to Judaic enactments for the sanctity of
the Lord's day of the Christian dispen
sation. It is to us more than the Sab
bath of the old dispensation could pos
sibly be; for it commemorates something
grander than the material creation—it
tells of the risen Christ who redeemed
us from the curse of the law and
brought ns into the liberty of the chil
dren of God.
Rev. C. E. Smith writes from Africa
that they have been having some sick
ness He went back on greatly reduced
salary, and has had the misfortune to
lose by death, his horse, which cost him
about thirty dollars. He says: "We are
horseless and no money to buy with, so

KILPATRICK —Onr heavenly Father
called onr beloved pastor and brother,
Washington Lafayette Kilpatrick, from
the midst of his abundant labors in the
Master’s vineyard to his home and re
ward above, Angnst 8, 1896.
The deceased was born in Burke
county. Ga., Oct. 18 1829. His father,
Rev. J. H. T. Kilpatrick, of blessed
memory, moved his home to this place
when our brother was but a small boy.
His early training and educational
advantages were of a high order and he
made good nse of his opportunities.
These, combined with naturally fine
mental and physical endowments, a ge
nial disposition, a kind heart, a peculiar
faculty for making himself clearly un
derstood, and a seemingly intuitive
knowledge of human nature, all made
him an eminent teacher and leader. Os
him it may well be said that he adorned
whatever he touched,
His great ability, his ripe scholarship,
his powers of instruction and leader
ship,everything, with him, wassubserv
lent to the great aim of his life, to lead
sinners to the knowledge and service of
the Lord Jesus. He delighted to preach
Christ and him crucified. Therefore
Resolved 1. That our church has lost
a faithful, conscientious pastor; a man,
who from his youth up "served the
Lord with a perfect heart;” and who
has been an excellent illustration of his
favorite maxim, that it was better to
wear out in the service of the Master
than to rust out.
2. That this community, the Hephzi
bah Association, the cause of temper
ance, and the cause of Christ through
out the State have been deprived of an
earnest worker, who has made his in
fluence felt far and near.
3. That while we are sorely grieved
at the mysterious providence that has
cut off our friend and leader at the
height • of his great usefulness, we
bow in humble submission to the will
of him who doeth al) things well.
4. That our tenderest sympathies be
extended to sister Kilpatrick in this her
hour of bereavement and to all the
family of our departed brother.
5. That a page of onr record book,
inscribed with his name, and the dates
of his birth and of his death, be dedi
cated to his memory.
6 That this report be spread in full
upon our minutes, and that a copy of
the same be furnished to the family of
the deceased brother and likewise to
the Christian Index.

Ga., Sept. 30, 1896

WATSON.—In the providence of God
it becomes our painful duty to pay
tribute to the death of our beloved
brother and deacon, J. H. Watson, who
departed this life on the 9th day of
August, 1896, aged about fifty-two
years.
He professed a hope in Christ when
about eighteen years of age, uniting
with Bethany Baptist church in 1862
He afterward joined Beach Springs
church by letter. August 7th, 1865. and
was ordained a deacon, January 10th,
1874. He was a member of this church
thirty-one years, and an active and es
flcient deacon for twenty four years.
During all tlw» tbpe he led a most ex
emplary life,. the confi
dence bus',
ness
in church relat?vS» ffe was strictly ob
servant of all the duties and precepts of
the Gospel.
With becoming modesty he always
responded to the call of duty. He was
a wise and safe counsellor as well as a
zealous worker. His whole life was a
practical illustration of the Scriptural
injunction,." Whatsoeverthy hand find
eth to do, do it with thy might.”
It is but mildly expressing a great
truth to say, that he had been for many
years among us a recognized leader.
And upon his great and loving heart
and willing mind we often laid, as a
mighty burden, the cares and interests
of our church. And he faithfullj’ dis
charged these duties with a consecration
born of the great love he had for his
Savior’s cause.
And now that he has gone we sorrow
fully realize his great worth to us, And
as a justly merited tribute to his mem
ory be it
Resolved, 1. That we consecrate his
memory by a zealous effort to promote
the interest he had espoused to his heart
and to which he consecrated his life,
2 That while we sadly feel his loss,
we bow submissively to this afflictive,
providence and comfort ourselves with
David’s inspiring words, "Precious in
the sight of the Lord is the death of his
saints M
3. That in the death of our brother
onr country loses a most useful and up
right citizen, his family a kind and in
dulgent husband and father, and our
church a consistent member and faith
ful deacon.
4. That we extend to his bereaved
family our tenderest sympathies, and
that a copy of these resolutions be furn
ished them, and also the Christian
Index for publication; and the same be
placed upon the records of our church.

MASHBURN —Died October 1, 1896,
at Pinehurst, Ga , Mrs. Elizabeth P.
Mashburn, aged sixty seven years. She
was born in Laurens county. Ga., Oe
tober 20, 1829; joined the Baptist church
at Poplar Springs, Laurens county,
when thirteen years of age. and was
baptized by Rev. Hickebud Lee. She
moved to Dooly county in 1845, married
Lewellen Mashburn and raised a family
of children who are an honor to the
county. She was a consistent member
of the Pinehurst Baptist church Her
character was adorned by many beauti
ful graces. She was modest, refined
and patient. Her friends were many.
It is natural to weep for loved ones
gone, but the bereaved children and
relatives should not mourn for her; she
bas gone home a little sooner than they.
God’s will be done.
The funeral services were conducted
by her pastor. Rev. J. J. Hyman, in the
presence of a large, weeping congrega
tion, but with hopes brightened by the

IMGROM.— How sad, but too true,
death has again visited our midst, and
taken for his victim our dearly beloved
sister, Mrs. Mary F.lmgrom, the wife of
John G. Imgrom
She departed this life Sept. 4tb, 1896
She was the granddaughter of Judge
Simmons, of this county (Monroe), the
father of John K. Simmons, who was
the father of the deceased.
John K. Simmons was a very promi
nent man in his county; also, a very
useful member of the Baptist church,
serving as deacon for many years, until
his death.
Mary F. Imgrom was married to John
G. Imgrom. in Marion < ounty, Ga., Oct.

—that’s the way with the • z"
imitations of Pearline. It b u'r
isn’t surprising that so great Va’j J \
a household help in all wash- IS I

so largely imitated; it isn’t A l\ / 1
surprising that these imitations A j "'IAS /
fail; and it isn’t surprising that they 7 I J
make still more popular the article on u \
which the fraud is attempted. The fr ]ii ill " \

its sales increase, and the claims of
peddlers and unscrupulous grocers that they have ‘‘the same
as” or “as good as” Pearline —mind you, never "better
than” Pearline—have placed Pearline on the topnotch.

9. 1856, by Eld. E. Dumas. She raised
seven children, four sons and three
daughters. May God, of his infinite
mercy, bless our bereaved brother and
his motherless children.
Brother Imgrom has lost a faithful
companion, the children have lost a
loving mother, the church a true and
good member, and the community a
good neighbor.
The funeral service was conducted by
the writer, who used as a text Titus, 2d
chapter and 13th verse: "Looking for
that blessed hope and the glorious ap
pearing of the great God and our Sa
vior Jesus Christ. ” JA. Wright.
KINNEBREW.—Mrs Lucy Ann
Kinnebrew, a daughter of William and
Nancy Mills, was born in Elbert
county, April 26, 1821; married Jasper
Kinnebrew at the age of fifteen years.
She was baptized at Falling Creek
church by Rev. Philip Mathews, when
eighteen years of age. She moved her
membership to Doves Creek church,
Elbert county. Afterwards moving to
Oglethorpe county,she moved her mem
bership to Bairds church in 1861, re
maining a member of that church until
the day of death, which occurred in
Athens, Ga., Sept. 4, 1896.
.She was quiet and unassuming in her
manner, devoted to her husband, for
whom she has mourned since his death.
A tender and affectionate mother, a
sympathizing neighbor and a faithful
friend. She loved her Savior, her
church and her pastor, one of the last
acts of her life being thoughtfulness for
his welfare. She leaves a daughter and
son and several grandchildren, with a
host of friends, to mourn her death; but
they sorrow not as they who have no
hope, inasmuch as shedied in the tri
umphs of a living faith. She died at the
advanced«age of seventy five years, and
like a shock of corn fully ripe, she has
been gathered into the garner of the
Lord. She is not dead, but sleepeth to
wake again in the resurrection morn.
"For if we believe that Jesus died and
rose again, even so them also which
sleep in Jesus will God bring with
him,” Her Pastor.
Crawford. Ga., Oct. 5, 1896.

ton. She joined the Mars Hill Baptist
church in August, 1844, and was a
member there until her death in Athens,
June Bth, 1896. At the time of her
death she was the oldest member of her
church, having been a member for
fifty two years. She was a great suffer
er from middle life till death, which
was produced by a complication of dis
eases She did not murmur. She was
a bright and joyous Christian, always
cheerful and happy. It was a great in
spiration to al! of us to see her and hear
her talk of her joys and of the glories
which were to follow. She rests from
her sufferings. F. M. Haygood.
