ABSOLUTELY PURE
For the
From the Indian Territory.
THE GENERAL ASSOCIATION.
This body met with Choate Prairie
church, near South Canadian, I. T.,
September 12-15. It co-operates with
the Southern Baptist Home Mission
Board as the Territorial Convention
co-operates with the Home Mission
Society, of New York.
A Ministers’ Institute was held the
previous day. Over fifty ministers
and nearly a hundred delegates were
in attendance. Some came over 125
miles in wagons and camped on the
way; and a few camped on the
grounds.
During the past year fifty-six mis
sionaries report nearly 5,000 sermons
and addresses, over 700 baptisms and
600 received by letter; twenty-one
churches and twenty-two Sunday
•chools organized, and about $1,400
collected on the field. Perhaps there
is no other body of ministers on the
continent who can show such re
sults under such circumstances. Many
of them receive no salary except the
boxes of clothing sent by the good
sisters in the East. But a more
godly set of men I never saw. They
seem to realize that It is not by might
nor money, but by the power of God
that they are to succeed. Such a
band of men led by the Spirit of God
cannot fail. God's promise is theirs,
and he will lead them to victory. 1
have hitbeto worked for the Home
Mission Society, which pays out for
salaries in Oklahoma and Indian ler
ritory over $30,000 a year. But here
are a band of men doing as much work
and the Home Board does not pay
them one-tenth as much. 1 never
attended the General Association be
fore. 1 had come to the conclusion
that I would leave the Territory, but
when I came in contact with these
consecrated men and heard them tell
of their struggles and triumphs in
their attempts to preach the Gospel
in this vast destitution, I was ashamed
til myself and determined to trust
the l«ord for a support awhile longer
and labor on. I have no earthly
prospect for a support; but God has
promised that they who preach the
Gospel shall live of the Gospel. How
can I call on sinners to trust in him
for eternal life if I cannot trust him
for temporal support'.
The field is ripe unto harvest and
the laborers are few. The next two
years will, in a great measure, fix
the future religious complexion of this
vast field. The advocates of Mormon
ism, Adventism and other forms of
error are scattering their heresies in
every valley and proclaiming them
from every hilltop.
Will Southern Baptists allow this
goodly heritage to pass into the hands
of errorists? I would not have you
pay one cent loss for the work in
Cuba and New Orleans, but you are
able to go down into your pockets
and replenish the treasury of the
Home Board till its missionaries can
go in and possess the land.
Shall the Home Mission Society
give the Gospel to all the States and
territories of our great West while one
and one-half millions of Southern
Baptists stand idly by and play at
missions? May the Holy' Spirit
awake our people, for it is time they
should wake out of sleep.
My work is in the Cherokee nation.
The Cherokees outnumber the other
four tribes of the Indian Territory.
There are nine white Baptist mis
sionaries in the Cherokee nation.
Seven of these are missionary pas
tors. generally of town churches,
helped by (I ’e Home Mission Society,
and one does mission work among
the country people, and is supported
on the Gospel mission plan. Ihe
Home Mission Society has some na
tive missionaries among the full
blood Indians. About two-thirds of
the Cherokees are mixed with whites.
Among these the Baptists have less
than a dozen missionaries, who preach
tn English to the half-breeds and
whites in this great country. Vast
regions of destitution abound. Re
cently I found an old Baptist who
had not heard a sermon for seven
years. Some time ago a Baptist min
ister preached in a community
where no white preacher had ever
been. Grown people in the neighbor
hood had never heard a sermon tn
the English language. I expect to as
sist November 14. in organizing an
association in this field. Six new
churches have been organized and
about as many more are expected of
said churches ten or twelve in ail.
Who will help send the Gospel to
these people? R r stamps .

The leading item of news among
sur churches just now is the
EXCELLENT MEETINGS
feeing held this fall in all directions.
Nearly every meeting we hear of is a
success, with large ingatherings. This
is .quite unusual in the months pre
ceding a presidential election. Men
are generally, at such a time, more
interested in the preaching of politics
than they are in the preaching of
salvation. The summary from the
churches made at the recent session
of the Tennessee Association showed
a goodly increase in the number bap
tized. We are able to record just now
the following churches and pastors
that have been blessed in meetings
recently held: Pastor T. G. Davis
and his Bearden and Ball Camp
churches: pastor J. L. Dance, at Rose
berry; Third church, Knoxville, where
pastor McPherson had the assistance
of Dr. H. P. Fitch, of Cleveland; and
one of the best meetings of all at
Smithwood, where pastor Anderson
was assisted by Rev. J. f. Hickman.
Besides all these the “blacksmith
preacher,” Rev. J. T. Saxton, has had
his tent in Knoxville all summer and
doubtless has done much good; at
least, there have been a large num
ber of professions. Rev. J. T. Hick

OCR COLLEGE.
Carson and Newman College had a
fine opening this year and, upon the
authority of one of the professors, has
an unusually good class of students.
We are all rejoicing over a legacy of
$5,000 which was recently left
to the college by Mr. Joseph
Wilde, of New York. It is an in
dication of the position to which the
college has attained when men in no
way connected with the school show
confidence in it by leaving their
money to it. We are not wishing to
hurry any of them off this mundane
sphere, but it would be highly grace
ful if, when brethren and sisters have
to go, they would invest a portion of
what they must leave behind in brains
at Mossy Creek. It seems a misfor
tune that so many of the students of
our college stay out until after the
New Year, almost as many coming in
then as at the beginning of the ses
sion. But it shows the stuff our
mountain boys are made of. Many of
them are working their way through
school and must teach or work the
first half of the session that they
may go to school the last half.
COLPORTAGE.
The State Convention, meeting in
West Tennessee, at Paris, this year,
abolished the Sunday-school and Col
portage Board. And some of the
brethren, adding insult to injury, in
sisted that they thought brother Quis
enberry, the good old bachelor secre
tary, ought to proceed now to get
married. We of the Eastern part, of
the State consider the death of the
board a calamity, since it has been
paying its own way and doing a world
of good; but we were willing, if that
were the price of peace, to stand by
and behave decently at the death and
funeral of the board, and even at Quis
enberry’s marriage, if in that way
alone he can be stopped from run
ning up and down the land gathering
money to buy Bibles for the poor sin
ners of Tennessee! But we shall be
ready next year to compare the fig
ures of the combined board with the
work of the two. We hope the com
parison will bear out the wisdom of
the change.
We are delighted to know that we
are not to lose brother Quisenberry
from the State, but that he is to be
associate editor of the Baptist and
Reflector, spending his time among
the churches, holding meetings
wherever his services are called for
taking subscriptions tor the paper
and writing for it.
A FINE AFFAIR.
Knoxville has tickled herself de
lightfully In her recent "Free Street
Fair and Carnival.” She undertook
Oct. 21st-23d to make a display of her
resources and business in street pa
rades and free exhibits appropriately
arranged in different buildings. So
successful was the effort that her own
people were charmed and the thou
sands of visitors went away singing
the praises of our fair city.

New Orleans Letter.
BY A. K. SEAGO.
Dr. John F. Purser, pastor of the
old First Baptist church, has good
congregations, good Sunday-school
and also a large Chinese class. The
church is located in the midst of a
thickly settled part of the city; has
a large, commodious audience room,
one of the largest In the city. The
pastor is justly popular with his peo
ple and with the great Baptist broth
erhood.
Dr. D. G. Whittinghill, pastor of
Coliseum church, is succeeding well.
He is spoken of as a wise, consecrated
young man, an active, efficient
worker.
Dr. D. I. Purser, pastor of Valence
Street church, is popular with his
church and with the Baptists of the
State. He has been elected president
of the Baptist State Convention three
times in succession. Under his min
istry the membership of Valence
Street church has increased from
about 100 to more than 250 members.
Dr. D. I. Purser recently’ helti a se
ries of successful meetings with the
church at McComb City. Miss. Re
sult, twenty additions. He is now en
gaged in a meeting at Pensacola and
he has an invitation to aid the pastor
at an early date in revival meetings
in one of the largest city churches in
the South. He is never more happy
than when in the midst of a great
revival where many souls are con
verted to Christ.
The recent failure of four banks
here has not disturbed, to any con
siderable extent, the great commer
cial affairs of this city and State. Le
gitimate business is readily sustained
by the banking institutions remain
ing. It is probable that the Union
National will resume business soon.
It is thought that a reorganization of
the Mutual National will be arranged.
The sugar crop is one of the best
in the history of sugar production in
the State. Many residences are now
in process of erection in the city. The
old city is putting on new life. The
entire absence of epidemic diseases
for more than fifteen years past in
spires all with confidence. New Or

3907 Carondelet St., N. O.
A Card From Dr. S H. Ford.
I have just read in the issue of the
Index of Oct. 22d, in your editorial
account of the Texas Convention, the
following:
“A resolution was presented con
demning Dr. Whitsitt and demand
ing his deposition. Dr. S. H. Ford, of
St. Louis, was on hand to aid in its
passage, but evidently reason is re
suming its sway over the minds of
the brethren, and after a discussion,
participated in by Professor H. H.
Harris, of the Seminary, and Dr. B.
H. Carroll, the following resolutions,
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5 1896.
presented by Dr. Carroll, were
adopted.”
I can assure you that the foregoing
statement is not true. I was not "on
hand to aid in the passage of a reso
lution condemning Dr. Whitsitt and
demanding bls deposition.” When
such a resolution was introduced by
Bro. Shackleford, Bro. B. H. Carroll
proposed, verbally, a substitute for
it. I then passed to him a note sug
gesting that he reduce his substitute
to writing and present ft. In two
short talks before the Convention I
advocated the substitute, which pass
ed nearly unanimously. All this be
ing so public in the presence of the
whole Convention, I am astonished
that this contra statement should ap
pear in your columns. With no de
sire to apologize for or make any
compromise whatever for my known
position in regard to "Dr. Whitsltt’s
Discovery," I claim simple justice for
those who differ with Dr. Whitsitt
and his adherents.

Rev. W. C. Golden,
Chairman.
Mcßae. —I am just back from the
24th annual session of the New Ebe
nezer Association. It organized by
ekct'ng Elder J. C. Brenton moderator
by acclamation, and M. L. Burch clerk
and treasui’er. Elder W. J. Barton
preached the introductory sermon. He
has been in the association five years
and has preached three introductory
sermons. He is an all round Baptist,
who talks straight out from the shoul
der. The churches were about all repre
sented, which made a very good showing.
While the collections were small, they
showed a spirit to contribute for the
cause of the Master.
The reports of the various committees
were all that could be asked for. espec
ially that on temperance. Bro. W. M.
Williamson made the best talk of his
life in support of this report, supple
mented by Rev. .1. W Witberington. So
was the report on publication by Bro.
Z. H. Clark and J. M. Henderson. Bro.
Chiles was given an opportunity to pre
sent the claims of the INDEX which he
did very gracefully, but there is no one
like “ Uncle Jimmie.” Bro. Chiles also
spoke in favor of the Southern Baptist
Publication Society. The greatest bar
mony prevailed throughout the session,
which lasted only two days. The next
meeting of the association will convene
with Mcßae church Wednesday before
third Sunday in October, 1897.
As some one that is more able than
myself will write up the meeting I can
only give the synopsis, and thus do as I
promised Bro. Chiles. A vote of thanks
was tendered the community for the
hospitality shown the delegates of the
association. Much success to the In
dex. W. C. C.
How To Get Good Teachers.
Write J. M. Dewberry, Manager of

you, free of charge, the kind of teacher
asked for and you may rely upon his
recommendations. He will recommend
only competent teachers.
A Chance to Make Money.
I have berries, grapes and peaches, a
year old. fresh as when picked. 1 use
the California Cold process, do not heat
or seal the fruit, just put it up cold,
keeps perfectly fresh, and costs almost
nothing; can put up a bushel in ten
minutes. Last week I sold directions
to over 120 families; anyone will pay a
dollar for directions, when they see the
beautiful samples of fruit. As there
are many poor people like myself, I con
sider it my duty to give my experience
to such, and feel confident any one can
make one or two hundred dollars around
home in a few days. 1 will mail sample
of fruit and complete directions, to any
of your readers, for eighteen two cent
stamps, which is only the actual cost of
the samples, postage, etc., to me.

A BAPTIST MINISTER
PRAISES THE ATLANTA EYE, EAR
AND THROAT SPECIALIST.
Rev. D. H. Parker, of Bain
bridge, Ga., says: “Dr. J. Har
vey Moore treated our daughter
for severe sore eyes and drooped
lids. Since she was four weeks
old she had not been able to open
her eyes as other people. Dr.
Moore treated her last Novem
ber, operating on the lids and
restoring from every defect. We,
herparents, and Lucy, our daugh
ter, can’t tell how proud and
grateful we are to Dr. Moore and
to God, who sent him to us, for
this treatment. Dr. Moore is
most humane and charitable. His
treatment or straightening of
cross eyes is simply wonderful.
Cross eyes need not be any long
er a blemish. Just go to Dr. J.
Harvey Moore and he will set you
aright. The doctor treated very
many in Thomasville last year,
and with uniform satisfaction
generally, and in some cases re
sulting in perfect glee. We can’t
speak too highly for him.”

Dr. Thomas Curtis.
BY CHAS. MANLY, D.D.
Having read with great inter
est Dr. Hillyer’s reminiscence of
this honored brother in the In
dex, I was reminded of some
notes of a sermon preached by
my father, March 27, 1859, at
Limestone Springs, S. (.!., in com
memoration of Dr., Curtis. These
notes contain some interesting
data, which I beg to add to those
furnished by Dr. Hillyer. The
sermon, it may be well to say,
was from Deut. 34:5-6: “So
Moses, the servant of the Lord,
died there, • * * but no man
knoweth of bis sepulcher unto
Jhis day,” and was preached in
the house of worship near Lime
stone Springs Institute, during
the session of that famous school,
which had been founded by Dr.
Curtis. The notes, now lying be
fore me, show’ that the sermon
was a discussion of some special
features of the death of Moses,
followed by a striking applica
tion of them to the death of Dr.
Curtis. They are quite full, and
are a fair illustration of my fa
ther’s method of preparation for
preaching, so far as writing mem
oranda of his sermons is con
cerned. But I must not stop to
tell of this.
In speaking of Dr. Curtis’ lit
erary labors before leaving Eng
land, the notes say: “lie be
came one of the editors and pro
prietors of the Encyclopedia
Metropolitana. , His chief coad
jutor in the editorship of this
great w’ork was S. T. Coleridge.
No one can fail to observe the
striking points of similarity, in a
literary point of view at least, be
tween Coleridge ami himself.”
(In the course of the sermon
there is a discussion of Dr. Cur
tis’ intellectual greatness.) * * *
“Such was his skill ami repu
tation that he was employed in
correcting an edition of the Bi
ble for the British and Foreign
Bible Society, in which it is said
that he had pointed out no less
than 10,000 variations of the
press from the edition of 1611.
The authorities, becoming alarm
ed for the result, suddenly with
drew their sanction of further
proceedings; and, thanking him
for his courtesy and ability, aban
doned their design. The manu
script is still among his papers.
Another company, having under
taken to publish the London En
cyclopedia at the extraordinary
rate of a volume a month,
brought his valuable services to
their aid at a very flattering rate
of compensation, and realized
large profits from the work.”
Tliq of his last ser
mon, in church,
Brooklyn, N. Y. The text was
Mark 11:17. “With great clear
ness and power, says the pas
tor (J. W. Sarles), he showed
what is real prayer, and that such
prayer must underlie all that is
done in the house of God, or it
answers not the purpose of its
appointment. Such was the ef
fect of this discourse —his man
ner all life and singularly impres
sive, his own soul deeply moved
—that the pastor relates of him
self that lie had not visited the
house of God since without be
ing reminded, as never before,
that it is a house neither for
preaching nor hearing, but for
prayer. While the congregation
were retiring they were observed
to move in clusters —expressing
the desire but to return and have
the message repeated. Such was
his last public message, in beau
tiful and impressive accordance
with the habits of his life.”
As to the manner of his death,
what is known is that he was
on the ill-fated steamer North
Carolina, from Baltimore to Nor
folk, and on the morning of Jan
uary, 29, 1859, he perished
amid the flames that consumed
her. The notes say: “During
his entire journey to the North,
the exercises of his mind in the
pulpit, the prayer-meeting, and in
the families of his friends, even
beyond former examples, evinced
a peculiar spirituality of mind;
and, like Elijah, he showed to his
friends that he was preparing for
his departure.
“To comefort some friends, smit
ten witli a recent bereavement,
he wrote an essay on the words,
“Present with the Lord,” which
he read in the family of his
friend, Mr. Fenner, in Philadel
phia, the last evening he spent
with them. This was so unusu
ally striking that Mr. Fenner
rose early the next morning and
copied the heads of it. In this
wav something was preserved of
the last lines he wrote on earth,
to comfort his friends, indeed,
but quite beyond the circle in
tended. The essay itself doubt
less perished with him.
“The call was sudden, but he
was not unprepared —the Master
came and he opened to him im
mediately. He had spent the
evening conversing of his Mas
ter. and the last that was seen
of him he was reading his Bible
in his berth —preparing thus to
awake either for duty below or
for heaven, as the Master should
please. His friends were not al
lowed any special interviews, and
were not summoned to hear his
last words; he died, like Moses,
apart, alone; and no man know
eth of his burial place to this
day. The mists of that dark
night obstructed mortal vision,
but God saw. Those angelic
messages that could find Paul as
he was driven up ami down in
Adria found him in the critical
moment of his need. Insensible
to the noise and agonies of that
fearful hour, he left this body to
its sepulcher in the waters, while
his spirit was carried by angels
to the bosom of his God. God’s
unerring will is done.” (This
last expression was a favorite one
of Dr. Curtis.’)

Exciting Fiction
BY W. M. DAVIS.
A few’ copies of a Chicago
weekly, by misdirection, as sup
posed, recently fell under my ob
servation. But little of their
contents was read; that little,
however, served to show what
the public taste now seeks for
in a “story paper.” Continued
stories, highly seasoned with
tragedy, profligacy and crime in
general, formed the staple of
contents, while sporting intelli
gence, low wit and cheap pic
tures filled much of the remain
ing space. Desirable or profita
ble things found little room.
Evidently the managers of this
paper seem bent on securing a
body of readers in every village
in file United States. From all
directions they solicit sensational
matter, for which they propose to
pay low rates. Great is the body
of contributors, ami great, no
doubt, the number of falsehoods
weekly spread before the anx
ious readers.
How are the young patrons of
such a paper affected? If men
and women are what their read
ing makes them, then the read
ers of this paper are transformed
into trash and criminality—es
pecially the younger of them.
Just what proportion of mod
ern story papers can properly be
ranked with this one of Chicago
it would take time, money and
yareful investigation to deter
mine, but little doubt is there
that it is large.
Knowing, then, that the pa
pers—at once vehicles and ex
ponents of trash, vice and crime
—are seeking the hands of every
youth in our nation, what abun
dant care every parent needs to
employ to save his children from
their destructive influence!
Lately, to pursue the subject, a
s!(),(KM)'story lias been produced
by a Southern author. My own
curiosity—though an old man—
was so far excited by the appear
ance of the opening chapters that
I read them, and then scanned a
considerable part of the remain
ing over. Not even in the “Ara
bian Nights”—read in my boy
hood —did I find more of the
startling than in this fresh mod
ern romance. Os course, there
are beauties iu the story, fine de
lineations of human character,
pictures of Southern life, etc.,
but sensation is the ruling ele
ment in this mass of improbable
lid ion. Perhaps not one bright
youth in a thousand could read it
without being greatly and perma
nently injured. Question there
is none that high and sustained
excitement arising from the pe
rusal of fiction is fearfully injuri
ous to the young, when ever older
persons are often not a little
harmed by it.
Rather, by far, no book learn
ing for the child, coupled with
constant manual labor, than edu
cation iu the literature of that
Chicago paper. Some years
since the writer met a bright
youth whose parents had both
died, as was reported, of dissipa
tion. Their boy was filling a
clerk's place. Under an impulse
to do him good frequent conver
sations were held with him. Very
soon it was noticed that he read
one of the most corrupting news
papers printed. With kindly in
tent, in private, I sought to save
him from the danger foreseen,
and also his employer was warn
ed against a clerk whose reading
was so dangerous. Exactly, in
substance, the expected happen
ed to the boy, for as soon as op
portunity offered he stole large
ly, as report said, from his em
ployer and ran away.
Young men and parents of
reading children, ponder this
case. Zeal for the health of
your children, 0 parents, would
impel you to utterly refuse
either poisoned food or water for
your children. And yet these
could only kill the body at most.
But the poisoned books and sto
ries your children are offered
poison the soul and contain black
threat of endless separation from
all good or hope of it.
Can you, parents of our fa
vored land, allow your children
to read the deadly literature of
our times without protest?
Do you not know that in these
days of public schools the chil
dren learn to read and that they
then will read? For a few dol
lars you can obtain a library of
clean books and good newspa
pers, sufficient to educate all
your children while they remain
in your homes.

MERIT
ALWAYS WINS.
There is no better way to determine the WORTH of any article than to submit
it to the judgment of an in e'ligent public. Believing
Haggard’s Specific Tablets
to be an article of UNUSUAL merit, and that they would stand the test of pnblic
opinion, we began their INTRODUCTION by giving away over ONE HUNDRED
BOXES in the city of Atlanta. It was our purpose to have them put to a
THOROUGH test, hence we gave them to such persons as would agree to girt
them a fair trial. Among those that used them were Doctors, Ministers, Teach
ers, Merchants, Book-keepers, Mechanics and City Officials, besides a number of
LADIES. We were greatly pleased to receive the most flattering reports from
the parties using them; the effect of which was to confirm as in the opinion that
we had made a HAPPY HIT, and that our remedy had a great mission of USE
FULNESS
Since that time we have sold hundreds of boxes, and the teatiiuimy of all id,
that they do just what they are advertised to do.
WHAT THEY WILL DO.
Our claim for them is, that they are superior to all other remedies in curing
di eases and affections of the nervous system, acting as a stimulant and tonic for
the brain and nerves, speedily overcoming any abnormal condition, giving quiet _
mid refreshing sleep to the patient. For INSOMNIA, NEURALGIA and NER
VOUS DEBILITY they aet like a charm.
FOR GENITAL AND URINARY TROUBLES.
They contain elements that act specifically on the glands an l mucous surfaces,
and speedily overcome any abnormal condition, and restore the organs to healthy
action. Where there is inflammation or stricture they give prompt relief, and
soon correct the trouble. Where the glands are atrophied and the organs shrunk
en, they impart vitality and restore to NORMAL condition.
MEN AND WOMEN
that are run down in health, ami are troubled with weakness and debility, will be
perfectly surprised to see what a few boxes of the tablets will do for them. They
do not excite or inflame, but overcome WEAKNESS, and build up in a remark
able wav.
FOR KIDNEY AND BLADDER TROUBLES
there is no other remedy that will do what they have done. We report one case—
a well known merchant of Atlanta.
The case was of two years’ standing, and had baffled the skill of physicians,
and all remedies had failed. At the time he began the use of the tablets the
brick dust ami albumen deposit was abundant, and the sediment amounted to
one-third of the bulk of the urine. Two boxes of the tablets corrected the trou
ble, and the party has been in tine health for more than a year, with no trace of
tlie trouble recurring.
Persons suffering with any kidney or bladder affection should not delay, but use
the remedy at once.
FOR NERVOUS WOMEN,
that suffer at their monthly periods, they are a perfect delight. They correct all
trouble of this character, and overcome all weakness and debility peculiar to wo
men. Women passing through the change of life find this just the remedy they
need.
OLD I’l-OI'U:
that suffer from nervous debility, and are unable to sleep and rest at night, will
find great benefit from their use. A well known citizen of Atlanta reports that
for two years he had been unable to sleep at night, and his rest was broken until
be was failing rapidly. After using a half dozen boxes of HAGGARD’S SPE
CIFIC TABLETS, he says: “I have never" had such refreshing sleep since a
child, and my health has never been better. I feel as good at 60 as when 40.
Your tablets are indeed a wonderful remedy.
fl Fnrf" rt T lirilTll Isa great boon, and is enjoyed by but few
Ml"|<|b|b| | mkfl I IM persons, but it is the privilege of ALL that
I Lili LU I IILriL 111 will use the tablets a sufficient length of
time to get their full constitutional effect. They do their work promptly, and im
provement begins with the first day’s use.
Raino Purely Vofyetehle an, i containing no poisonous substance,
DBIIIq rUICIj iCqCIuJICi they can be used for an indefinite length
of time with no bail effects, and should always be continued until a healthy con
dition is established.
They are put up iu a neat package, one box containing eight days' treatment, and will be sent
by mail, postage paid, to any address on receipt of price.
