BY C. E. W. DOBBS, U.D
In Matt. 26:30 it Is said that Jesua
and his disciples sang a hymn. 1
have always understood that the Jews
sang only the Psalms. Have we any
knowledge of what It was that Jesus
sung? 1 think 1 would like to sing
the hymn his blessed lips sung.
C. 8. D.
The (.reek word In the passage is a
verb, and occurs also in Acts 16:25
and Heb. 2:12. It ffiSUW to sing
praises. The noun (hnmnoH) occurs
in Eph. 5:19 and Col. 3:16. There is
no substantial difference between the
■ hymns" and ‘‘psalms” and "spiritual
songs." The "psalms" may be said to
have been "sacred songs chanted to
the accompaniment of instrumental
music," while the ‘‘hymns” were
probably forms of sacred song coming
into use especially among Gentile
Christians. The "spiritual songs" are
supposed to refer to "impromptu effu
sions to which the glow of Christian
feeling gave birth." (J. A. Smith.)
At the Jewish Passover it was cus
tomary to sing or chant what was
known as the "Hallel,” the first part
of which (Ph. 1,3 and 114)
was sung just after taking
the ‘‘second cup" In the Pass-
over supper, and the remainder
(Psalms 115 to 118, Inclusive) at the
conclusion, it will be observed tuu<.
the chapter ends with the words,
Arise, let us go lienee." We may im
agine then the disciples to have risen
and to lie already in the attitude for
departure when Jesus resumed his
discourse as we read it in John 15 and
16. tlie whole ending witli the Lord's
prayer as recorded in the 17th chapter
of john. Then they went forth to the
awful mystery of Gethsemane.
Please settle a question which arose
in our Sunday-school class. How old
I was Solomon when David had nim
proclaimed king? Was he a con
verted and saved man? How large
was his kingdom?
S. S. CLASS.
His exact age is not given. He was
eighteen or twenty the older figure
I being more probable. David had very
greatly added to Israel's dominion, and
at his death bis empire stretched from
tlie Mediterranean sea to the River
Euphrates. In 1 Kings 1:21 tlie city
of Tiphsah, on tlie Euphrates, is men
tioned as witliin his rule. Tlie em
| plre re.'iclied from tlie fartner moun
i tains of Lebanon on tlie north to the
I borders of Egypt and tlie Ailanitic
gulf. Within that territory, there were
j perhaps as many as five million in
fiabitants. Solomon's reign was char
acterized by peace with nil tlie na
tions, and lie improved tlie peace to
extend Ills commerce with foreign na
tions. and to embellish ills capital
city, out Ills prosperity was not alto
gether a blessing to himself or his peo
ple. His luxury and extravagance ex
hausted their resources, ano ills for
eign alliances introduced idolatry, de
generacy and corruption, which sadly
tarnished the splendor of his reign.
T he bright beginning of wisdom and
piety ended in inglorious folly and
guilty effeminacy. Os course, it is not
within tlie province of human judg
inent to pronounce sentence on Solo
mon's spiritual condition. God only
lias tjiat prerogative. Whether he re
pented of his backslidings and was
linally saved it is not ours to inquire.
To liis God lie was fully known, and
we must be content to leave him in
his hands the God who "is too wise
to err, and too good to lie unkind.”
Will you kindly mention Scripture
reference to tlie baptism of any of
Christ's disciples who were with him
at the institution of tlie Lord's Sup
per? F. C. D.
Our correspondent evidently con
siders his request a "clincher" as to
tlie Haptist position that baptism pre
cedes the Supper. Indeed, tlie admis
sion is frankly, if not elegantly, made
that "it puts dose communion in a
hole." It Is a pity, perhaps, to punc
ture the brother’s bubble argument,
but really it must lie done. We do not
find any specific record of the time
and place of the baptism of each one
of tlie twelve apostles, who were the
only persons present at the institution
of tlie Supper. Hut it would lie simple
absurdity to suppose that Jesus chose
as the founders of his kingdom men
who had so little regard to his will
as to refuse submission to the terms
of tlie very commission, on the author
ity of which they went forth to preacli
his Gospel. Jesus severely rebuked
tlie Pharisees for rejecting the bap
tism of John (Luke 7:29, 30), and it
would be strange, indeed, if he ap
pointed his disciples from among
those who were guilty of the same
sinful disregard of his forerunner.
When Jesus asked his disciples if
they were able to be baptized witli
tlie baptism that lie was baptized with,
he implied that they had received the
baptism in water. But, while it is
admitted that we have no record of
the individual baptism of the apos
tles. it is certainly clear that they
were all baptized. Two of the twelve
are specifically mentioned as John's
disciples (John 1:35-40). These were
Andrew and John. The record inti
mates that Peter and Philip and Na
thanael were also John's disciples.
So of all the twelve. This is con
firmed by the record in the first chap
ter of the Acts. The words of Jesus to
his disciples imply that they had been
baptized by John (verse 5). and Pe
ter's language in verses 21, 22, proves
it. An essential qualification for the
apostleship is there declared to be
that the person had been a believer
"beginning from tlie baptism of
John." Every candid reader must so
understand the record here. No doubt
is entertained unless one is trying to
evade the plain force of the language
in the support of a theory. There is
no discourtesy in saying this, and we
believe our position commends itself
even to the conscience of those who
attempt to evade the meaning of the
record. Far better to read honestly
and conscientiously obey the known
will of the Master, than to quibble
over a matter so plain.
Was not the baptism of the Holy
Ghost an affusion? Should not water
baptism conform to that mode?
F. C. D.
We give place to this second ques
tion from our Methodist friend, who
says he "reads The Index regularly.”
YVe never use the phrase ‘baptism of
the Holy Ghost.” It is not found any
where in the New Testament. We
read of being "baptized in the Holy
Spirit”—for every reader of the Greek
knows the Greek preposition is "in."
not "with." when the Spirit baptism
is mentioned. It is not necessary to
give a lengthy reply to our corre
spondent. Suffice it to quote a dis
tinguished pedobaptist historian. On
Matt. 3:11 Neander says: “As John's
fonowers were entirely jmmersed in
the water, so the Messiah would im
merse the souls of believers in the
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THI'KSDAY,"OCTOBER, 29 1896-
Holy Spirit, Imparted by himself, so
that it should thoroughly penetrate
tueir being and form within a new
principle of life." To thb same effect
might be quoted many other eminent
pedobaptia.3, who, even though they
defend the validity of affusion, yet
candidly admit the truth as to the bap
tism of the New Testament. Again
we would urge F. C. D. to honestly
follow his conscience in this matter.
In reading the history of the crea
tion as recorded in Genesis, I fail to
find any account of the creation of a
place of any kind where the wicked
are to lie eternally tormented. Where
can I find an account of such creation?
Besides, Moses tells us in his account
of the creation that God saw every
thing that he had made, and, behold,
it was very good. Gen. i:3l.
2. The Scriptures teach that God is
all-powerful; that he has all power
in heaven and in earth. His power is
limitless. Do we not deny this and
limit the power of God when we say
that he cannot destroy man, a creature
of his own creation, nor take from
him any attribute that he has given
him especially so when the Scrip
tures tell us repeatedly that the wicked
will be destroyed and not given eter
nal life anywhere in any condition?
J. C. C. L.
1. With all respect for our corre
spondent, we must say that we regard
his reference to the Mosaic account of
creation trifling with a very serious
and important matter. God will find
a "place” for the finally incorrigibly
wicked. It is useless for us to specu
late about the creation or location of
‘hell.” Enough to know that God
will punish sin, and whatsoever he
does will be in accord with eternal
justice. No condemned soul in the
day of judgment will cavil against the
divine decision. Again we would in
sist. that Luke 16:19-31 proves that Je
sus taught the conscious existence of
tlie souls of both wicked and righteous
in tlie spirit world beyond death. No
evasion or argumentation can get that
fact out of tlie New Testament. Un
til that, one passage is honestly dis
posed of, it is needless to cite others.
2. It is not ours to inquire as to what
God can or cannot do. But we have
never yet seen those ‘‘Scriptures’’
which “tell us that tlie wicked will lie
destroyed" that is annihilated. In
stead of trying to force a strained
meaning on the solemn utterances of
God's Word, it would be far more
reverential and certainly safer .or
one's own welfare, to try to do God's
holy will while here on eartn, trust
ing him lo do what is right with all
his creatures in tlie life to come. There
are a great many things which we do
not need to settle with our poor rea
son. and in the partial light we have
here. Let us wait God's own time to
see more clearly than we can in this
life.
We have an unfortunate* case in our
church. An excluded member came
forward and asked co- lie restoreu to
fellowsmp, professing repentance for
the sin tor which he was excluded.
The church restored him in the ab
sence of several members, who now
say they cannot and will not fellow
ship him. They ask for letters of dis
mission. V» hat can we do? The case
is somewhat complicated, for those
who ask for letters (at least two of
them) say they do not intend to join
tiny other church.
(’. C. C.
First of all, it was the duty of the
dissenting members to lie present if
it was possible for them to tie. A
church cannot wait to learn the wishes
of absent members before taking what
it regards as proper action. Unless
some vital principle is involved, it is
tlie duty of absent members to acqui
esce in tlie action of Hie church. Os
course, this is said upon the supposi
tion that everything was fairly and
openly done. If an advantage was
purposely taken of the absence of the
dissenting members, then the church
did not act in good faitn with them,
: nd they have a right to fe»l aggrieved.
But we know nothing as to this, and
only suggest it as possioie. At any
rate, if they insist upon having their
letters granted, we see no reason why
they should not. be gratified. A Bap
tist church is not a prison in which
unwilling members may be detained.
We know it is sometimes said that
there are only two ways to get out of
ti.e Baptist denomination —one way be
ing to die out, the other to be excluded.
We do not assent to that. In our
judgment, neither alternative is the
only one. Why should not a Baptist
have a right to voluntarily sever his
connection with a church without be
ing subjected to the indignity of ex
clusion? Very many of our churches
now allow "withdrawal.” and no ques
tion is asked as to their future inten
tions. T his seems to us to be both
more in accord with Christian liberty,
and more self-respecting on the part
of the church.

ODOM.—Died, in Newton, Ga., oept.
15, in the seventeenth year of her age,
Miss Irene Odom, daughter of P. L.
Odom and Ellen Peeples Odom.
It is with a degree of sadness, a sad
ness that I can realize myself, but can
not find language to convey to others,
that I come to pay a last tribute to
one of the purest and sweetest lives
that I ever knew. From her very
earliest childhood she cast a ray of
sunsuine over the household, and
wherever she went she brought joy
and gladness. As she grew to wo
manhood, she lost nothing of her
child-like simplicity and sweetness, but
was the sweet child still.
When but a child she gave her heart
to God. Lt was a pure heart—no
marks or blemishes were to be found
there. She became a member of the
Baptist church and was a good and
faithful Christian to the day of her
death. No doubt hangs over her eter
nal destiny. She is now basking in
tue love of her Savior, among the
blessed of heaven. Earth has lost,
heaven has gained one of the brightest
and purest Christians.
Her good and noble mother died
many years ago, leaving this sweet
child to the care of a broken-hearted
father. But in this providence did not
fall. There came a sister of the fa
ther, who assumed the care of this
little one and her one brother, who
was then an infant.. Under the care
of this pure Christian woman <.he chil
dren grew in sweetness and loveliness
of character as they grew in age. What
makes the death of this lovely young
person more sad is she leaves a fa
ther who is now an invalid, and wuo
needed her tender and loving care.
But it is made more sad from the fact
tnat she was to have been married
to a noble young man, who loved her
more than life, only a few days before
her death. The grave claimed what
was Intended for the altar. She was
burled in her bridal robes. The heart
oi this community, without an excep
tion, goes out to tills young man in
his great bereavement, as well as to
the stricken father, the dear brother
and the aunt who became her foster
mother, and very many other relatives
who have suffered so much by this
visitation of providence. Many friends
have felt most deeply the keenness of
this coming of death into our miust
and taking one away that all loved.
How hard it is to understand the ways
of God! Why could not this one, so
lovely and so well fitted for life's
work, have been spared to live out her
alloued days? But stop. Who art
thou, O man, that presumes to bring
into question the wisdom and mercy
of God? God came to his earthly
garden and took one of his most lovely
flowers. It was his own. Canst thou
say to God, “What doest thou?" Eartli
was too cold, too full of sin, too much
suffering, too much danger for one
so pure. God took her io his home
beyond the skies- a home whose build
er and maker is God prepared for all
such as our loved one just departed.
‘I here she can meet the loved ones
gone before, and greet the dear ones
to come. There we will find her.

Whereas, It has pleased our wise
Creator to take to himself, on the 20ui
of August, this beloved member of-our
school, we feel that in
his death -school has lest
a faithful attrtToai.'t, and a bright and
interesting pupil. Our hearts have
been saddened by tlie untimely deatli
of our brother. While we do not know
the dispensation of providence in this
sorrow, we do know that "all tilings
work together for good to those who
love the Lord." The tenderest care,
Die deepest sympatuy of loved ones,
attentive physicians and the untiring
watchfulness and loving attention of
the devoted mother could soothe, but
not reueve the patient sufferer. He
suffered much, but murmureu not
through it all. At home he was tlie
joy and pride of his dear mother and
the counsellor of his little sisters. En
listing in the cause of his Master
when quite young, he gave his life
to his service, and it seems that he
received the special blessing that is
promised to those who seek him early.
Weep not, loved ones. God touched
him and he now sleeps. It was the
Lord's appointed time to remove him
from this world of trials and trans
plant hitn in the New Jerusalem,
where all is rest and peace. Although
our Sunday-school feels this irrepara
ble loss, why should we mourn? The
struggle’s o’er, the victory won, and
we should strive, by the help of God.
to join him in the sweet summerland
by and by.
Revolved, 1. That in his death the
Sunday-school lias losta valuable mem
ber. Physically, strong and active;
morally, upright and manly; at heart,
kind, tender, benevolent, and helpful
to all his associates.
Resolved, 2. That we tender our
heartfelt sympathy to the father and
mother as they weep over the memory
of their dear son, and to the brothers
and sisters as they dwell in thought
on the form that is no longer seen
an.i the voice no longer heard; and
that we, as a Sunday-school, may so
live, by God's love and direction, as to
meet him in the great congregation of
his eternal Sunday-school.
Resolved, 3. That the superintend
ent furnish the family with a copy of
these resolutions and a copy be sent
to The Christian Index and Bulletin
for publication.

THARP—Whereas, brother Si
meon Tharp, of Twiggs county,
Georgia, peacefully breathed his
last in Christ on the 3d day of April.
1896, at the ripo age of sixty-eight
years, having been a consistent and
useful member of the Baptist church
since his union therewith at Stone
Creek church in 1846. Brother Tharp
was clerk of Stone Creek church four
teen years, the last thirteen years of
his life being spent in the ministry.
He has occupied the chair as mod
erator of the union meeting in this
district for three years and was mod
erator at the time of his death.
Brother Tharp was the oldest member
of the Ebenezer Association. Brother
Tharp was a brave and gallant soldier
in the late war. elected from a pri
vate soldier to lieutenant in Company
C. Fourth regiment of volunteers. The
members of Pleasant Hill church,
with whom he has been so closely as
sociated since he was called to the
ministry, deem it just and proper that
the following resolutions be drawn up
and a copy be sent to The Christian
Index for publication; also a copy to
the bereaved relatives and a copy be
spread upon the church record:

LYNCH.—The death of sister J. H.
Lynch occurred at her home in this
place on the 6th of October, 1896, after
a lingering sickness of several months.
Sister Lynch had been a member
of the Baptist church here since her
girlhood and she and her husband
were two of the oldest members of our
church. She is survived by her hus
band and a niece, Miss Jennie Wil
liams, who lived with her, and a
brother, A. J. Ely, of Woodbury, and
two half brothers, George W. Ely, of
Montgomery, and Osborn Ely, of Dal
ias, Tex.

WILLIFORD—Death has visited
our community and taken from the
home of our brother and sister. B.
W. Williford, their only child, the
lovely little Rosebud God allowed to
blossom in their home for three short
years, and then called up higher that
she might join the little brother gone
before, where they, united, await the
coming of their parents. Little Rose
bud was the pet of all, and every heart
goes out in sympathy to the bereaved
parents. May the Comforter heal the
wounded, crushed hearts of the pa
rents and at last take them home,
where they may be an unbroken fam
ily in God’s house. M. L. A.

WELLS. All that is mortal of Mr.
G. D. Wells was laid to rest in Stone
Mountain cemetery Sunday afternoon,
October 18. He was a member of the
Baptist church, kind-hearted and
amiable of temper. He delighted in
relieving the wants of his fellow crea
tures, and cultivated that divine
pleasure by tlie most, liberal and un
pretending methods. When death tore
him from the arms of his loved ones,
it could but transport him to the bo
som of God.
