ASKED AND ANSWERED.
BY C. E. W. DOBBS, D.D.
1. Do you think that Solomon is a
saved man?
2. Why is it that Baptists do not
sit at a table when they commune as
Christ did with his disciples?
3. As Baptists are so anxious to
follow Christ In immersing, how can
they be content to use pools? Why
not go to a running stream?
4. As Christ invited no other Chris
tians to partake of the Lord's Supper
except his own twelve, it seems that
one band, or church, should not invite
others, even of "like faith and order.”
The "good man of the house” was
not even asked, and, as he was called
good man, Is It not reasonable to sup
pose that he was a Christian, and may
have been a baptized believer?
5. Why is it that learned, pious, in
telligent Christian ministers cannot
agree on communion and baptism?
M. S. W.
1. We do not know. This question
has been recently answered in this col
umn.
2. Christ did not “sit” at the table
at all. They reclined in those days
on couches. The manner of sitting or
reclining or standing or kneeling is
not part of the Supper. The essential
things are bread and wine, and eating
and drinking of the elements. He
commands the eating and drinking,
but says nothing about the posture
of the communicants, and we should
not trouble our minds about that or
other unimportant details of that
kind.
3. Most of the baptisms recorded in
the New Testament were not in "run
ning streams.” Os course those bap
tized in the Jordan were baptized in
such a stream, but the three thou
sand on the day of Pentecost were bap
tized in "pools,” of which there were
a number, public and private, in Je
rusalem. In baptism the essential
thing is "water,” but the kind or loca
tion of the water is not essentially
part of the sacred rite.
4. We do not suppose that Christ
“invited" any one to the institution
of the Supper, it must have a begin
ning, and he chose to institute it when
only lie and the eleven disciples were
present. But he gave it to them as
the divinely ordained heralds of his
Gospel, to whom was committed the
formal organization of the churches.
Nothing is said of confining the ob
servance to each local church, nor is
there a word about "inviting” any
one to.partake. The New Testament,
however, does clearly show that the
ordinance was to be observed only by
“baptized believers" in their organized
church capacity. It also seems certain
that the primitive churches recognized
each other in a fellowship higher
than that of the local church. Be
lievers went among the churches
freely, and, so far as the record shows,
no such question was asked as that
which our good sister raises. The
word "goodman” does not describe
character, but is an old English word
meaning only the owner or occupant
of the house.
5. Ah. dear sister, you’ve asked a
hard question. Many such ministers
as you describe have really never
studied the subject carefully. They
have been content to accept without
question the traditional views of their
denominational connections. Many
have permitted their prejudices to
blind their minds. Others have de
liberately closed their eyes. Some
have persuaded themselves that "God
has taught his church i>y his provi
dence as well as by his Word, and by
that providence has led his people to
adopt the more convenient form of
aspersion instead of the primitive im
mersion." This was the position of
the late Dean A. P. Stanley, the dis
tinguished Episcopal scholar and his
torian. It is practically the position
maintained by the mass of scholars.
They candidly admit that immersion
was the primitive baptism, as given
by Jesus and observed by the apoe
tles, but they believe they are justified
in departing from that primitive bap
tism for such reasons as are stated.
As to the "communion,” we suppose
there is practical unanimity in the
opinion that in the apostolic day the
Supper was confined to baptized be
lievers. All denominations admit
that The differences begin when we
come to the question, "What is bap
tism?" They who believe that affu
sion is baptism can very well be what
are known as "open communionists,”
but they who believe that Jesus com
manded immersion, and who do not
admit the right of the church to
change the form, cannot consistently
be anything but "close communion
ists.”
1. Is it true that the Catholic
church, alone, stood for education
during the dark ages, or does the
world owe to the Catholics, alone, the
preservation of education during any
period ?
2. 2 Peter 1:15. Does Peter mean
that after his decease he will do any
thing to bring "these things to remem
brance,” or before his decease, either.
3. Why do the writers of the Amer
ican Commentary quote from, and re
fer to, the Apocrypha so extensively?
A. S.
1. During the “dark ages" so called
(from A. D. 400 to A. D. 1500) it is
true that nearly all the "education”
was in the Catholic church. There
was no general education, the only
learned men being found in the mon
asteries and among the priests. Os
course we refer to "Christian na
tions.” What was true of nations
outside of Christendom is another
question. Among the Mahommedans
learning flourished to a considerable
extent. Arabic learning was at one
time really in advance of the general
Christian learning. The colleges and
universities of the Moors in Spain, for
example, were famous while the great
mass of "Christian” Europe was in
densest ignorance. All Christendom
I was practically Catholic, no other re
; ligion being tolerated. In those long
■ centuries of darkness the Bible manu
-1 scripts were preserved in the Catholic
I libraries of Europe and in the monas
teries among the Catholics and the
| Greek church. But little use did they
make of the treasures they had. When
the "revival of learning” began in
the fifteen century, it soon gave birth
to Protestantism and liberty of
thought, without which there can be
no real learning. As a matter of his
toric fact, it may be said that the
Catholic church has opposed every
great advance in the world's learning.
It was so of Copernicus, Galileo, and
every other famous discoverer of
truth, both in the religious and scien
tific realm. For the Catholics to now
pose as the special preservers of learn
ing. in view of the history of the great
names we mention, is absolutely ludi
crous. In the providence of God they
did preserve the treasures of ancient
learning, but when the light of the
better day dawned it was not Catholic
thought and authority which fostered
the revival of learning. The general
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER, 5 1896.
Ignorance of Catholic countries to
day, as compared with Protestant
countries, Is a sufficient reply to some
proud boasts we sometimes hear.
2. In the passage referred to Peter
simply states that by his writings he
would so state the truth that, after
he was dead, all could learn the truth
from those writings concerning the
Gospel, of which he was an apostle.
He does not mean that after his de
cease he would do anything to en
lighten the church.' Some suppose
that Peter refers to the Gospel by
Mark, which he had prepared for the
enlightenment of believers. The tradi
tion isthat that Gospel was written un
der his direction and supervision. As
long as he was in the tabernacle he
says he was always anxious to stir
up the memories of his brethren, and
after he should be dead he was anx
ious they should have an authoritative
narrative of the Master's life and
teaching. The whole passage is a
tender and beautiful one. But note in
it all there is no claim of pre-emi
hence as "Pope”—he was only a "ser
vant and apostle of Jesus Christ” —
only an equal among uis fellow apos
tles.
3. The extensive references to the
Apocrypha had not been noticed in our
reading of the "American Comment
ary.” Whenever any reference is
made to the Apocrypha it is for the
purpose of illustrating some fact or
custom in Jewish history. While the
Apocryphal writings are not received
as inspired, they do furnish many his
toric facts which throw light on New
Testament incidents and teaching.
1. Does the association have the au
thority to withdraw fellowship from a
church who deals with her members
for drunkenness according to the
Scriptures?
2. Does a member have the right to
ask the church for forgiveness for
getting drunk, and does a church have
the right to forgive him for drunken
ness?
3. Should a deacon be considered a
deacon when he practices going in bar
rooms and getting drunk and keeping
bad company, and can a church for
give a deacon for getting drunk after
making his acknowledgments?
4. Does a church have the right to
exclude a minister from the church
on public sentiment from Baptist peo
ple for drunkenness?
5. Should a church be considered in
disorder in the association by one of
her members voting for the sale of
whisky in a prohibition election?
S. B. C.
1. The answer depends upon the
constitution and rules of the associa
tion. There may be difference of
opinion as to whether the church in
question has "dealt with her mem
bers for drunkenness according to
the Scriptures.” Our judgment is
that no church which tolerates drunk
enness in her members is worthy of
fellowship by any association.
2. Certainly a member so offending
should ask the forgiveness of the
church he has disgraced by his con
duct, and we see no reason why the
church should not forgive him if con
vinced that his confession is sincere.
3. Such a deacon is unworthy the
confidence of the church, and should
not be permitted to continue as dea
con. We cannot understand how any
one professing to love the Lord Jesus
Christ can be guilty of such conduct
as that described by our correspond
ent. Such a one should be promptly
excluded from the church.
4. We do not quite catch the moan
ing of this question. Exclusion is the
last, thing which a church should <lo
with an offender. No one should
ever be excluded except upon testi
mony which is reliable.
5. We do not believe any Christian
should vote for the sale of whisky. At
the same time we question the right
of the association to inquire into the
votes of members of the churches in
her body. The association has the
right to express itself as to the tem
perance question, and to advise all
Christian voters, and nil voters, to
vote for the suppression of the infa
mous liquor traffic; but disciplinary
power is not granted to the associa
tion over the individual members of
the churches.

RODDENBERY.—Dr. 8. A. Rodden
hery died at his home in Cairo,
Thomas county, Ga., September 23, at
the age of past sixty years. He was
born in Thomas county in February,
1836, and, in this county, he spent
his entire life, with the exception of a
few years in the eighties, during
which he resided in Macon, Ga., to
afford his sons educational advant
ages at Mercer University. He was
graduated in medicine at Oglethorpe
College, in Savannah, in 1860, and
Immediately entered upon the practice
of his profession in his native county.
After establishing himself in business
in the western part of the county he
was married July 31, 1861, to Miss
Martha A. Braswell, who survives
him and with whom he enjoyed a
contented and happy union until
deatn. To him and his devoted com
panion ten children were born, three
of whom, two daughters and a son,
died in infancy. One son (John) was
cut off at the very threshold of a
promising young manhood, and one
daughter (Bertha) the widow of Colo
nel C. W. Beale, of Nashville, Tenn.,
passed from earth in the lovely matu
rity of a glorious womanhood. Five
children survive, the two eldest (Wal
ter B. and Robert S.), and the young
est (Charles), being engaged in busi
ness in Cairo, another (Anderson), al
ready an ex-member of the legislature,
being a brilliant young lawyer in
Thomasville, and the youngest daugh
ter (Kate), being the recent bride of
Mr. Howard Thrower, of Quitman.
Dr. Roddenbery and his wife both
joined the Baptist church at Long
Branch, in Thomas county, and were
baptized together in 1868. From that
time on two more faithful, consistent
and orthodox Baptists have been un
known.
In addition to his successful medi
cal practice, Dr. Roddenbery engaged
in planting on a large scale and other
business enterprises, the principal of
which was merchandizing. In the
last named capacity he was one of the
founders of the thriving town in
which his long and useful life was end
ed, and, until his health almost com
pletely broke down, he was a leader of
leaders in every line of business that
he undertook. But it was in medi
cine that his excellence was most re
markable. I have seldom, if ever, met
his peer in diagnosis; never his su
perior, and his success as a practi
tioner was phenomenal. Had he de
voted his life to city practice, great
wealth and fame must have been his
reward.
But ail is over now, and there is left
hut a blessed memory of a well-spent,
useful life—a precious legacy to his
surviving children.
To the community in which he had
been for many years a leading citi
zen, to the medical faculty, of which
he was a prominent member, and to
the Baptist denomination, in which
he was a shining light, his death is a
great, a grievous loss. It is not prob
able that another will ever be found
aptly to fill the place he occupied—
and honored in its occupation. To
his family his death is a calamity—ir
reparable. We can only commend his
lonely, heart-broken widow and his
mourning children to the Savior whom
he trusted and followed, exhorting
them, as he did, with his latest breath,
so to live as to meet him in the blessed
land whither he has gone to rejoice
forever with the dear Redeemer and
the loved ones gone before.
The were held in
the Cairo on the
24th an overflow-
ing congregation. The exercises were
conducted by Edward D. H. Parker
and the writer, the latter delivering
the discourse by request of the family,
and the attendance, both at the church
and in the procession, was probably
the largest ever known in the town.

BUCHANAN.—Rev. Henry Franklin
Buchanan, son of James B. and The
resa (Clay) Buchanan, died August 10,
1896, at the age of seventy-four years.
He was converted In 1841 and was
baptized by Rev. A. R. Almand at
Cool Springs church, DeKalb county,
Georgia. He was licensed to preach
by the First Baptist church of At
lanta, Ga., in 1852, and was ordained
in November, 1854, at Dallas, Pauld
ing county, Georgia, by Revs. Thorn
ton Burke, Janies Reeves and James
Peek.
In the year 1844, In the month of
December, he was married to Miss
Frances Abbott, of DeKalb county,
Georgia, and there were born unto
them three sons and one daughter.
His wife and children survive him.
Brother Buchanan did not have the
advantages of a collegiate education,
yet he was fairly well educated; he
was a self-made man. In his best
days he was a strong and eloquent
man in the pulpit. He was constant
and faithful in preaching the Scrip
tures and the doctrines of the Baptist
denomination.
He was a plain but practical and
economical man and thereby provided
well for his family and shunned the
debt folly. He was devoted to the
church and its institutions, and at
tended the Sunday-school as long as he
was able to be carried to the church.
The upbuilding of the church, the
Sunday-school, the missions and the
educational institutions were the
things he talked about, mostly, prior
to his death.

KISAR.—S. A. Kisar, son of George
and Ellen Kisar, was born August 30,
1873, and died July 31,1896. He joined
the Mt. Carmel Baptist church at
twelve years of age, from which time
he lived a consistent Christian life
until death. Bro. Kisar was a dutiful
son and faithful brother, seeming
never to tire in administering to the
wants of loved ones. He always had
a kind word for all with whom he
came in touch, and to know him was
to love him. Family, church and
friends mourn their loss.

BAGWELL.—The committee ap
pointed by the Baptist church at
Pleasant Grove, Carroll county, Geor
gia, to prepare resolutions expressive
of our love and respect for our de

Bro. Willis Bagwell was born in
South Carolina October 4, 1814, and
moved to Georgia in the year 1835,
and was married to Miss Emily Sheals
the same year.
He joined the church in South Car
olina in his youth and lived a consist
ent member until his death, which
occurred at the residence of his son,
A. B. Bagwell, in Villa Rica, Oct. 7,
1896.
In his last illness he expressed him
self as being ready and willing to
die.

CoiDumption Cured.
An old physician, retired from pratlce
bed placed In his bands by an East India
missionary the formula of a simple vegeta
ble remedy tor tbe speedy and permanent
cure of Consumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh,
Asthma and all Throat and Lung Affections
also a positive and radical jure for Nervous
Debility and all Nervous Complaints. Hav
ing tested its wonderful curative powers in
4 >ousands of cases, and desiring to relieve
human suffering, I will send free of charge
to all who wish It, this recipe. In German,
French or English, with full directions for
preparing and using. Bent by mall, by ad
dressing, with stamp, naming this paper

Things Wc Can Never Get Over.
Displace the dew as it has fallen on
the blushing fruit, and no skill can
replace it. Press the rose-leaf and
wound it, and none can give back
the perfection of its tints. So it is
with human character. When youth
has once lost its innocence, when sin
has once blasted the soul, when the
first freshness of a God-given life is
gone, no after repentance, reforma
tion, or devotion to God will ever
make it the same. Memory is pol
luted, the imagination is assailed by
impurities, habits of virtue are weak
ened, and the force of vice is strength
ened. The wound may be healed, but
the scar remains. God may forgive
the sin and man may forget it; but it
is never altogether beyond the vision
of him who committed it. We never
can be the same after transgression as
if we had not transgressed. Some
things God gives twice; some many
times; but Innocence no soul can ever
get a second time.
