ASKED AND ANSWERED.
BY’ 0. E. W. DOBBS, D.D.
I enjoy reading your answers to
questions, but "what is the use of the
Hoard of Deacons if the church tnay
appoint a finance committee?" I think
I’d resign If I was a deacon and my
church appointed a finance commit
tee. • What is the use of two finance
committees? T. C. B.
Well, you would have to resign if
you were deacon in almost any Bap
tist church in our cities. In some of
the States the civil law requires all
contracts to be made by the trustees,
who alone are recognized as repre
senting the church in financial mat
ters. Then, too, it is becoming more
and more common to regard the dea
cons more as the pastor’s assistants
j in spiritual matters than as "financial
j officers" of the church. The average
1 deacon, we fear, regards his duty as
j done when he has passed the bread
j and wine in the celebration of the
■ Lord's Supper. Too few of them have
’ the financial care of the churches they
serve on their hearts. There needs
to lie a clearer view of their responsi
bilities among the deacons. The com
mon Baptist usage makes the deacons
the financial board of the church, and
they should try to faithfully discharge
the duties involved in that position.
Many a pastor is suffering in mind
and reputation because the deacons
have become shamefully negligent of
the work committed to them by their
churches. One difficulty is that dea
cons are not always good financiers,
or good business men. In choosing
deacons regard is usually had to the
piety ami religious standing of the
candidates; their business qualifica
tions are of secondary importance in
the common thought. And it need
scarcely lie said that some of the very
salt of the earth are not. infrequently
rather inferior business managers.
Hence many churches have come to
feel that their deacons are not the
best men to manage their finances.
This is the reason, no doubt, that
many churches, especially city
churches, have resorted to "finance
committees” independent of their
"Board of Deacons."
Will you please explain why Mis
sionary Baptists do not wash feet?
Our pastor at this place wants to prac
tice feet washing at our next meeting,
and part of our church differs with
him on the subject; in fact some say
they will leave the church if he adopts
it. Ido not think it an ordinance and
do not want to practice it. Please give
full explanation. R.
New Testament Baptists do not prac
tice feet washing as an ordinance, sim
ply because it is not commanded as
such. The example of Christ In John
13 was to teach the duty of believers
to serve each other, even to the ex
tent of taking the lowest menial’s
place. In that day anu country foot
washing was essential to comfort, as
they wore open sandals, not shoes such
as we now wear. When one was re
ceived into a house it was customary
for the host, to have water brought
and the feet of the guest washed, us
ually by the lowest servant of the
house. Jesus and his disciples had
walked from Bethany, and their feet
were soiled. Jesus took the place of a
servant and washed his disciples’ feet,
teaching them that they should be
willing to do likewise under similar
circumstances for each other. It was
purely an act of hospitality for the
personal comfort of the guest, and not
a religious act at all. Hence we never
read of the apostles practicing feet
washing as a religious rite, nor of any
of the primitive churches practicing it.
The only place it is mentioned in the
New Testament, after John 13, is in 1
Tim. 5:10, where Paul speaks of cer
tain qualifications for a widow to be
entitled to certain privileges. Among
the qualifications he says. “If she has
washed the saints’ feet.” It is put
down in the midst of social and hos
pitable duties, such as would prove
that, the widow in her days of pros
perity had faithfully observed the
rites of hospitality. Why should feet
washing be singled out if it was a
church rite? All reputable commenta
tors regard this passage as absolutely
conclusive against feet washing as a
church ordinance. But as a rule it is
useless to talk to those who advocate
feet washing as a church duty, for
they are not men who are informed,
but generally men who have not read
what really intelligent men know
about the matter. The feet washing
was an act of hospitality and not a
religious act. You may see for your
self by reading the following passages:
(1011.18:1:19:2; 24:32; 43:24. Jud. 19:21.
I Sam. 25:41. If we were a member of
a church where the pastor insisted
upon observing feet washing aa a
church rile, we should make a decided
protest, and denounce the whole thing
as a shameful perversion of the Sa
vior’s teaching. It is a sin to practice
as a church ordinance what Jesus in
tended only as a lesson of humility and
service for each other.
You will very much oblige some
subscribers of The Index if you will
solve the following dilemma of a newly
constituted church. Some months ago
a few brethren desired a church or
ganization to be styled the Second Bap
tist church of Eufaula. They selected
a presbytery of three members, who
met, received letters of twenty-two
members, organized, elected deacons,
clerk, treasurer and Sunday-school
superintendent, and adopted the First
i church covenant, and recognized the
articles of faith; but for want of time
; to adopt them article by article, de
; ferred it for a subsequent meeting.
] At a subsequent meeting they called
! a pastor and postponed the adoption
of the articles of faith until the pastor
should arrive, that the newly received
young and old members might be more
thoroughly indoctrinated in the adop
tion of the articles of faith. The
chosen pastor soon arrived and de
clared the body no church and pro
ceeded to organize a new church,
surrendered the old letters and took
! seven or eight members into the newly
! organized church. Now, is the second
; oiganization any more of a church
than the first, because of the articles
of faith being omitted for subsequent
action, at the first organization, though
recognized as a whole?
2. Can a member holding a letter
participate in the praceedings of a
conference of the church from which
he has been dismissed only two or
three weeks, and before he joins an
other church?
S. G. ROBERTSON.
1. The facts being as stated, our
opinion is that the church was suffi
ciently “organized” before the pastor
came. There are many well known
churches recognized by the denomina
tion as “Baptist churches,” which have
never adopted any “confession of faith”
except the New Testament Probably
the “new pastor” had good reasons for
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THUKBDAY/OCTOBER, 22 1896
his action. He may have had facts
before him not stated by our corre
spondent which influenced his de
cision to “reorganize.” In any event,
what harm has been done? If the
Second church seems to have been too
much 'oignnized,” very many of our
church are not enough "organized.”
Let there be no trouble over so small a
matter.
2. That depends on what is meant
by “participate.” If it means to vote,
we would say that the member hold
ing the letter, whatever his “right”
in the case, would better refrain. If
it means only to speak or advise, then
we would say that it Is usual to extend
such courtoy to visiting brethren;
why not also to the brother in ques
tion? However, in either view, it
would not appear to bo good taste for
such a one to “participate" if objec
tion was known to exist against such
participation. There are no hard
“rules” governing Baptist action or
usage in such matters. We are all
brethren.
Please tell me what the righteous
ness of the Scribes and Pharisees was
that Christ speaks of in the 20th verse
of the sth chapter of Matthew.
M. A. O’REAR.
Righteousness in this verse means
right-being and right-doing—in other
words, it means holiness of heart and
life. The Scribes and Pharisees were
regarded as very pious by the mass of
the Jews, and they must have been
much startled to be told that Chris
tianity required a righteousness
greater than that of the very best peo
ple of their nation. Jesus, however,
saw beneath the outward righteous
ness of the Scribes and Pharisees, and
knew that they were not as holy as
their admirers thought them to be.
He saw that their righteousness was
largely only external conformity to
ceremony- mere obedience to the tra
ditions of the elders. The Gospel re
quires first of all inward rightejus
ness —purity of heart. Outward right
eousness is valuable only as it is the
expression of that inward purity.

RUTHERFORD.—-The committee ap
pointed by’the First Baptist Sunday
s<-tiool of Athens, Ga., to prepare reso
lutions expressive of our love and es
ter m foi Ous’ deceased brothel Liid
former beloved superintendent, Pro
fessor Williams llutberford, submit
ted the following, which were unani
mously adoptjd by the school:
Resolved, 1. That in the death of
Professor Williams Rutherfoid, of
Athens, Ga., the Sunday-school cause
in general, and we in particular, have
lost a most valued and honored
worker.
2. That as a superintendent he was
beloved and respected by all; as a
teacher equaled by few, and as a man
held In universal esteem.
3. That he was particularly fitted
for his work, possessing a natural ge
nius, coupled with high scholarly at
tainments and crowned by a sincere
and upright Christian character,
"strong in the faith, mighty in deed,
perfect in love.”
4. That his example was worthy of
the emulation of all, and that his
memory will be held ever dear by all
who knew him, “whom to know was
to love.”
5. That we lament our loss, but feel
ing that our great loss has been his
greater gain, we humbly submit to an
all-wise and merciful Father, who “do
eth all things well.” Rejoicing in the
assurance that a crown of righteous
ness awaits him, which the Lord, the
righteous judge, shall give him in that
day.
6. That we extend our heartfelt sym
pathies to his bereaved loved ones,
exhorting them “not to weep as others
who have no hope;” for we believe
that if Jesus died and rose again even
so them who sleep in Jesus will God
bring with him.
7. That we can in truth say of him,
“Blessed are the dead who die In the
Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the
Spirit, that they may rest from their
labors; and their works do follow
them.”
8. That these resolutions be copied
in our Sunday-school record and pub
lished in The Athens Banner and
Christian Index.

WOOD.—On July 27th, at his home,
our dear brother, Andrew J. Wood,
was transplanted; for none that be
lieve in Jesus ever die. He waited
patiently for the call to come up
higher. He was born in South Caro
lina November 27th, 1819; came to
Georgia in 1838; was a deacon forty
years; was a pillar In Hebron church
from its beginning. Always prompt,
never absenting himself without a
providential cause. A lover of truth,
a vindicator of peace, he never had a
personal difficulty with any one. A
devoted husband, a tender father and
kind neighbor. All who knew him,
knew him to respect him on account of
his pure life and daily walk. Os him
it may be truthfully said that he bore
about in his body the mark of the
Lord Jesus, leaving behind an influ
ence saving, an example worthy of
imitation, and a name brighter than
diadems, of which kings might be
proud, for he did what he could. How
beautiful to see the Christian life
adorned in old age as men pass into
the shadow of death and fear no evil,
knowing that the change shall be for
the better. Therefore, let us thank
God for the spotless life and blame
less character of brother Wood and
cherish his memory. Who shall be
worthy to bear his armor and to wear
his mantle? Let his mantle fall upon
whom it may, let it be worn worthily.
We want to say that we shall love
his name, will keep his memory fresh
in our hearts.
Resolved, 1. That we tender the
family our deepest sympathy and bear
to them this expression of our love.
Resolved, 2. That a copy of this pro
ceeding be sent to his family and the
same be spread upon our minutes, and
that The Gwinnett Herald and Chris
tian Index be requested to publish.

SPEARS.—Our beloved brother,
Joshua B. Spears, died at his home in
Jasper county, Georgia, on the even
ing of July 15th, 1896.
He was born December 19th, 1813;
professed faith in Christ and joined
Little River church October 15th,
1847. He was married August, 1838,
and lived a life of whole-hearted devo
tion to his family and the God who
made hint.
Be it resolved, 1. That Shiloh church
has lost one of its best and most use
ful members, careful of its interests
and liberal in its support.
2. That the family has lost a kind
husband and father, a strong protec
tor, a faithful provider, and the com
munity a generous neighbor, a wise
counsellor, and a public-spirited citi
zen.
3. That we, as a body, extend our
heartfelt sympathy to his kind and
loving wife and orphan children, com
mending them to God and the power
of his grace, that they, too, may l:ve
a life of success and enter the land
beyond, prepared by God, and be with
him.
4. That these resolutions be spread
as a memorial on the church book, a
copy furnished the bereaved family,
and published in The Christian In
der.

Beasly, wife of W. A. Beasly. Born
February 9th, 1855; married Novem

Christ just before she married, but did
not unite with the church. She often
spoke of her love for Christ and his
people, and on her dying bed ex
pressed a wish to live for her loved
ones and long enough to follow her

STROBERG.—Death loves a shining
mark. God, in his infinite mercy, has
called from among a Christian man,
Mr. C. J. Stroberg. “Thy will be
done.” Mr. Stroberg was born near
Stockholm, Sweden, on the 9th of
June, 1826, making him seventy years
old. He came to America when a
young man and settled in Brooklyn.
In February, 1853, he married Miss
Margaret Burgess, of Brooklyn, who
departed this life December 10th, 1894.
In 1855 they came South to Macon and
lived there until 1894, being residents
of Macon for thirty-nine years; then,
both being invalids, they moved to
Hagan. Ga., to live with their oldest
living daughter, and there Mrs. Stro
berg died. Mr. Stroberg died at the
Macon City hospital July 27th, 1896.
He was taken there three weeks before
at his own request and the request of
the physicians of Macon to have an
operation performed. He suffered for
two years with abscesses, the most
patient suffering, until, five days after
the operation, his suffering ceased,
and the Angel of Death took him to
be at rest in heaven, where he had so
often wished to be. He was so cer
tain of heaven. What a blessed
thought! His remains were interred
in Rose Hill cemetery beside his de
voted wife. By his own request that
beautiful song, “In the Shadow of His
Wings,” was sung most beautifully
by the lady whom he first heard
sing it. Oh, it is sweet to know that
“There is rest, sweet rest;
There is peace, sweet peace;
There is joy, glad joy,
In the shadow of his wings.”

BENTLEY.—Sister Sallie H. Bentley,
wife of our beloved brother, Deacon
W. P. Bentley, died at her home in
Lincoln county on the 22d day of Sep
tember, in the sixty-seventh year of
her age. Sister Bentley was a con
sistent member of this church and a
devoted follower of the Savior foi
forty-six years. She was quiet and
unobtrusive in her manners and in
her profession of faith, but in her
inner soul she was the personification
of an abiding trust in her Savior. Al
though an invalid both in mind and
body for several years prior to her
death, yet her labors of love and her
loving admonitions to her family and
friends are sweet mementoes to her
memory that have, and will yield fruit
in days to come. A fitting epitaph for
her tomb would be, “Here lies the de
voted Christian wife and mother, next
to the Savior the most precious gift
from heaven’s treasury.” Therefore,
Resolved, That in the loss of sister
Bentley this church has lost the ser
vice of one that in all the varied rela
tions of wife, mother and Christian
friend did what she could.
Resolved, That the family have our
Christian sympathies in their sad loss,
and are commended to him who “doeth
all things well.” Respectfully submit-,
ted. Committee.
B. S, BENTLEY,
Chairman.

McCORD.—A father in Israel has
fallen. On the 12th of September,
1896, brother Elisha McCord breathed
his last, in the seventy-second year of
his age. Calmly, in the bosom of his
iamily, surrounded by loving sons, de
voted daughters and sympathizing
friends, he passed away as one who
diaws the drapery of his couch around
him and lies down to pleasant dreams,
brother McCord was a devoted fol
lower of the Savior for thirty-five
years. He was baptized by Elder J. E.
Butler into the fellowship of Damascus
church in the year 1860, and his after
life was a beautiful illustration of the
Scripture injunction, to “mark the per
fect man and behold the upright, for
the end of that man is peace.” A
good citizen and obliging neighbor; a
true friend to the needy, ever ready
with his hand and purse to help those
in distress; a wise mentor to the young
men of his church and neighborhood,
to whom his memory is a benediction;
a man of strong convictions, he may at
times have spoken unadvisedly; but
a kinder heart never pulsated in hu
man breast. But he has ceased from
his labors and his works do follow
him. Therefore,
Resolved, That in the death of
brother McCord this church has lost
a highly useful and devoted member;
his family a kind father and benefac
tor; his friends and neighbors a safe
counsellor, and the world at large an
honest man and upright citizen.
Resolved, That we tender our Chris
tian sympathies to this bereaved fam
ily and relations, and point them to
the promises of the Gospel.

in conference, October 10th, 1896.
