ASKED AND ANSWtRED
BY C. E. W. DOBIIB, D. D
111 Mark 2:26 Jesus speaks of Abla
thar being priest when David took
the show-bread from the tabernacle.
In 1 Sam. 21:1-6 I find that Ahime
lech was the high priest then. How
is this discrepancy to be reconciled?
STUDENT.
Altimelech was the father of Abia
thar, who succeeded his father in of
fice not long after the event men
tioned, and some have supposed that
the son was even then assistant to his
father. But the supposition is not at
all a satisfactory solution of the dif
ficulty. More probable is the sugges
tion that, inasmuch as Abiathar was
high priest during David's reign, his
name was inadvertently used instead
of his father's. But this explanation
is not. at all complimentary to our
Lord. We cannot think of him using
names "inadvertently.” Another sug
gestion Is that Mark was the one who
inadvertently named the wrong man.
The most ' likely explanation is that
the presence of Abiathar in the text
is the result of a copyist’s error. In
spiration does not mean that the orig
inal sacred text has been preserved
in absolute accuracy. The orig
inal manuscripts were copied by un
inspired scribes, and it is not at all
to be wondered at that some errors
wore made by the transcribers. It is
a matter for gratitude that no serious
errors were so made, and that, we
may confidently rest in the assurance
that we have the sacred records in
substantial accuracy. Now, a scribe
familiar witli the life-long associa
tion of the names of David and Abia
thar, would lie quite likely ,o write
"Abiathar” when he came to name
the high priest with whom David had
to deal on flic occasion referred to.
'lliis is the most satisfactory explana
tion.
I know of a Baptist church which
lias recently granted permission to a
Methodist preacher to come to their
ehtireh (Daptist church) once a
month and prench for them. Don’t
you believe sooner or later that will
cause a split up church, especially
when some of the deacons are taking
quite an active part in it, while some
of the church won't go? Also, don’t
you believe that some of the Bap
tists will finally change, and thus
cause a badly divided arm wounded
church? I am not a member of
either church (sorry to say), there
fore I would like you to give your
opinion. J. B. S.
The circumstances in the case, of
which we are entirely Ignorant, must
govern the action of the church. As
a rule we would advise against such
an arrangement. Courtesy may fre
quently require that the house lie
used by a minister of another denom
ination, though .a “regular appoint
ment" by such minister would in all
probability result in trouble sooner
or Inter. We should not be willing
to consent to the preaching of false
doctrine in our houses of worship, and
a Methodist preacher surely would not
wislt such an appointment unless he
were allowed the privilege of honest
ly proclaiming his doctrines, which
Baptists, equally honest as lie, be
lieve to lie unscriptural. It is always
better for each denomination to pro
vide its own meeting house. It is
freely granted that there are dillicul
ties in deciding such questions on any
general east iron rule; for Christian
people desire to lie charitable and
courteous. But sometimes the best
way to have peace between families
is to keep the division fence in good
order. We trust our correspondent
may soon come out fully on the Lord s
side, and lie formally identified with
his church.
Tn "The Lives of the Patriarchs.” a
book 1 find in our Sunday-school li
brary. it is stated that “Jacob was
seventy-seven years old when he de
ceived his father, and had to flee from
his brother Esau’s vengence." Now.
if that is true, was he not rather an
old man to be so deep in love with
Rachel, a young girl?
M. .1. B.
This inquiry comes ail the way from
Texas, and our correspondent, in her
accompanying letter, says: I am
what the folks call an old maid, lint
1 don’t think such an old man as Ja
cob is said to have been could have
persuaded me to marry him. Well,
you must remember the old saying
pf the Latins which runs thusly: "De
gustibus non est disputandem"
which in a very free rendering de
clares that some folks are not overly'
particular as to such matters. Seri
ously, however, we would say that the
age of Jacob at the time is not given
in tlie narrative in Genesis. His fa
ther Isaac is said to have been forty
years old when lie married Rebekah,
and he might have become premature
ly old and blind at a comparatively
early age. One thing is certain, lie
did Hot continue in that sad state,
for he lived to see Jacob return with
his family, and many years thereaf
ter. In regard to Jacob’s age, then, it
may be said that he was what would
be called a "young man" in that
time of human longevity, if he was
thirty or forty years old at the time
of his flight. Still there is no cer
tainty about it. The figures given
in the margins of the reference Bi
bles are based on the guesses of
Usher, and are not any part of the
inspired Word. Even the figures
which we have in the text are not
always reliable, as we know that
through the infirmity of human
transcription mistakes have crept in.
a fact which is mentioned and ex
plained in the first answer in this
column this week. What of it after
all? The Bible was not intended to
give us a detailed record of a man s
years. Inspiration had something
more imjwrtant in view. It was to
give the story of the divine providence
in the fulfilment of the promise made
to Abraham concerning the peculiar
people, of whom at length the Christ
was to come. Jacob and his sons were
the more immediate progenitors of
that people, and hence the interest
taken in his personal history' in find
ing his wives in the old home from
which the family came. Whatever
difficulties may present themselves to
its as to such details as that concern
ing which our sister inquires, we
should not permit them to interfere
in the least with our honest and earn
est efforts to understand the divine
lesson for us in the whole story. God
was in that history, guiding his ser
vants and bringing to pass, often
through the very perversity of sinful
man. his gracious purposes of pros
pective redemption through him.
whose day- Abraham saw, and of whom
the dying Jacob prophetically spoke
as the "buepherd. the Stone of Israel."
(Genesis 49:24, in Revised Version).
I was interested in what you said
recently, in the Asked and Answered
department about the Hindoo “child
widows.” Does the religion of the
Buddhists teach the degradation of
woman? For example, does not that
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER, 12 1896.
religion teach that the widow must
burn herself on the funeral pyre of
her husband? It is so stated in the
missionary books 1 have read.
E. C.
We are not an authority on Bud
dhism; we only know what is briefly
given us in such literature as is ac
cessible to us on the subject. From
that we learn that very many of the
customs which degrade woman in In
dia and China are the outgrowth of
social traditions, rather than the pre
ceptive requirements of their religious
Hystems. But it must be said that
these are mutually retroactive and
intermingled. A question may be
asked, If the Buddhist religion com
manded the burning of the widows
how could there be any living widows
to be degraded? A profound oriental
Hcholar, Rev. Dr. Wm. E. Griffis, has
declared that some of the grossest
and most abhorrent practices carried
on in the name of Buddhism or Shin
toism have no foundation whatever in
the teachings of the founders of those
religious systems. He instances espe
cially the horrid custom of the suttee
(widow burning), which has long been
prohibited by the British govern
ment. He has clearly shown that that
practice not only has no sanction in
the learnings of the ancient faith of
India, but that it is expressly forbid
den in the Vedas. We quote Dr.
Griffis:
"No words commanding the death
of a wife by burning were found in
tiie laws of Manu or in the Vedas.
In a great controversy between a na
tive pundit and Professor H. H. Wil
son, the former did, indeed, cite a
text in a book of a particular sect
which might justify the practice of
suttee. Professor Wilson showed
that this text was of very uncertain
canonicity, and that, on the other
hand, there was a line in the Rig
Veda, which, when rightly read, di
rected a widow not to burn herself,
but asked her, after attendance upon
her husband’s funeral ceremonies, to
return to her home and resume her
customary duties. Professor Wilson
further proved that the substitution
of one word (rather a single letter) in
a text, actually corrupted by cruel
men, had led to this horrible custom
of burning women alive. The word
agnail (fire) had been substituted for
agreh (house), making the ancient
text, following the directions for cre
mation ‘Let the widows go up into
the dwelling’ read, ‘Let the widows
go up into the fire.’ ”
Dr. Griffis goes on to say that by
this exposure Professor Wilson had
the honor of demolishing, beyond the
power of resurrection, one of the
most horrible growths of superstition
and fraud, carried on in the name of
religion, ever known in the history
of the world. Professor Max Muller
was aide, furthermore, to bring forth
a text from their sacred scriptures
which actually designates the person
who is to lead away the widow from
the funeral pyre, thus essentially en
joining the preservation of her life.
As to I lie general degradation of wo
man under the religion of the East,
it may be said that, even under the
reign of Christianity, with its dear
principles placing woman religiously
upon the same level with men. she
lias only slowly reached in popular
estimation the rightful position as
signed her, if, indeed, she lias yet
reached it in the opinion of many.
Onjy in proportion as the Gospel is
more dearly discerned has our social
traditionalism permitted woman her
true place in the church and in so
ciety. Woman should lie the truest
friends to that religion which fur
nishes the argument for her spiritual
and social enfranchisement.
1. I am not an extremist, neither do
I want to be one, but I have been
thinking over the mistakes we as
Baptists have made, am. among them
is ordaining men to the office of the
ministry and deacon who are not true
missionaries. You know we are par
ticular to have them sound in every
thing else. Please give your opinion
in full.
2. I agree with you that it is the
duty of the pastors of the churches to
teach them that they ought to give
to tlie support of the Gospel at home
and abroad, but what shall we do
when they get mad and refuse to help
support us as pastors?
INQUIRER.
1. Os course the ministry should be
sound in tlie faith as held by the de
nomination, and no ordaining council
should lay hands on a candidate who
does not profess such soundness. Hut
a difficulty arises from the fact that
the men composing the council them
selves are not infrequently careless
concerning the obligation resting
upon the churches to "disciple all na
tions.” No method has yet been de
vised to secure ordaining councils
who will in every instance do their
whole duty. Indeed until perfect men
shall be found there will be no per
fect councils in this world. Chaun
cey Depew said that his railroad had
at last a "perfect block system, by
which it would be impossible for col
lisions to occur; but,” he added, “now,
if we only had perfect men to man
age the system would be absolutely
safe.” But. alas, there’s the rub, both
in worldly and spiritual matters.
Every Christian should be a "true
missionary" —one who believes in and
practices tlie duty of liberally sup
porting tlie great agencies devised
for the spread of the Gospel in all the
world. A "true missionary" gives
generously to both home and foreign
missions, and all ministers and dea
cons should be true missionaries.
2. You should not so preach the
duty as to make men mad. We think
it scarcely possible that any real
Christian would "get mad" because
his pastor faithfully and lovingly set
fortli any truth in God’s word. But
there is a right way and a wrong way
of doing this. Above all the pastor
who does preach on this subject must
show that he is absolutely unselfish
in the matter, and that he is simply
trving to do his duty to his Master
aiid his people. He must lead liber
ally in giving to the cause if he would
convince his flock that he is sincere
in his preaching. Some of the most
fervent appeals for generous giving we
have ever heard have been from men
who are not regarded as specially
liberal with their money. In this
matter “like priest like people.”
Never preach on this subject in a
scolding tone.

BENNETT.—Mrs. Emma Clark Ben
nett, daughter of Mr. Mathew Clark,
of Eastman, Ga., and wife of Mr.
James R. Bennett, of Mt. Pleasant,
Ga., was born in Dodge county, Geor
gia, February 10, 1874, and died at
her home near Mount Pleasant,
Wayne county, Georgia, October 18,
1896.
As a student she was loved by her
associates for her quiet, kind and
agreeable qualities. She so enlisted
the interest, confidence and 'admira
tion of her teachers, by her determi
nate resolution to studiously develop
her deep intellectual powers by
thoroughly mastering the branches of
her course of study, that the princi
pal of the school often said before he
would teach without her, he would
freely give her her tuition. She grad
uated from the Eastman Academy,
Eastman, Ga., June 22, 1892, taking
first honor, and receiving the com
plimentary remark from the principal
that she had so thoroughly mastered
her studies that she could successfully
teach them.
As a teacher, she won the respect
and affections of pupils, by manifest
ing a deep interest in them, a kind
spirit towards them and a willingness
to instruct them. She was also loved
by her patrons on account of her deep
intellectual powers, kind and unas
suming disposition, and modest, re
fining qualities. Soon after gradu
ating, she aspired to self sustenance.
She became associate teacher in the
Jesup Academy,lß94, taught a school
at Union church the latter part of the
same year, and in 1895 she taught a
school at Gibson Chapel; all of which
were in Wayne county.
As a wife, her greatest ambition
and highest aspiration seemed to have
been to so please her husband as to
render his life perfectly happy. She
married Mr. James R. Bennett, County
School Commissioner of Wayne
county, at her father’s residence in
Eastman, Dec. 18, 1895.
As a Christian she reverenced
God, sought his Spirit’s guidance
upon her efforts. She applied to the
Eastman Baptist church for member
ship, and was baptized into his fellow
ship by Rev. P. A, Jesup, 1890. After
her marriage, she moved her member
ship to Union Baptist church, Wayne
county, the church of her husband,
to which church she belonged at the
time of her death. For four or five
months before her death, circum
stances forbade her going to church;
but she always insisted on her hus
band attending preaching service,
prayer service and tlie Sunday-school,
of which he was superintendent. And
on her death bed, when her life was
considered extremely critical, she in
sisted on her husband attending the
Piedmont Baptist Association, then in
session at her church.
As to the high esteem in which her
community held her and the love
tliey had for her, it is only neces
sary to relate her sufferings. From
(lie time she located in our commun
ity we expected her Christian virtues,
her deeply cultured intellectual pow
ers and pleasant social qualities to
have a transforming power over our
community; therefore when she was
stricken down, nearly all the commu
nity suspended business to nurse her
and render whatever service they
could. Surely it was God’s will to
take her, for she was nursed tenderly
by loving friends and relatives, hav
ing her husband, father, brother and
three sisters prsirnt. She also hail
the practice of Drs. Yeoman, of Jesup;
Blanton, of Brunswick, John B. Clark,
of Eastman. Dr. Clark labored faith
fully day and night; but with all that
could be done, she became weaker,
suffering intensely, but bearing it
with Christian patience without a mur
nier, expressing no regrets of death,
except leaving her husband and her
little babe, that she named Undine.
She died Oct. 18, and her funeral ser
vices were conducted by her pastor.
Rev. R. L. Valentine, at Union church,
in the presence of a large, attentive,
weeping audience; after which her re
mains were interred in Union ceme
tery. While we sorrow, we sorow not
as those who have no hope. We are
sure that our loss is her eternal gain.
Written by her pastor.
LINNENCOHL. Louis Linn en

1816. He united with the Baptist
church at Penfield, Ga., in 1856. He
was faithful to his church and lived
a long life in the service of his Maker,
and died in the hope of a blessed im
mortality, at his home in Wilkes
county, September 29, 1896.
Being a faithful and humble fol

PLAYER.—Mrs. M. C. Player died
at Pinehurst, Oct. 22, in the 58th
year of her age. She was born in
Houston county; in early life moved
to Dooly county; professed Christ at
an arm of Vienna church, located in
the county, in 1866, and was baptized
by Rev. J. R. Fields. At the time of
her death, she was a consistent mem
ber of the church at Pinehurst. She
was conscientious and faithful. The
church will greatly miss her earnest
work. She leaves two daughters and
many relatives to mourn her depar
ture She was a good woman, and has

ASHLEY.—Diphtheria, that terri
ble enemy to the children, visited the
family of Bro. William Ashley, and
carried away two precious little jew
els, Ellen Levada, nine years old, Sep.
28, and Pearl, three years old, Sep. 26.
These dear little daughters, the joy of
home to father, mother, brothers and
sisters, suffered intensely, though for
a short while. All was done that lov
ing hands of father and mother, with
the aid of attentive physicians, could
do. It was the Lord’s will to
take them to himself. Be submissive,
mother, you can go to them some day.

From the Democrat, Caro, Mich.
Fourteen years ago,” said IL M. I nder
wood, who haa for tlie past five years held
the office of School Director in District No. |
7, Jndianfields township, and is well known
throughout the county, “my brother and I I
moved into this county. ’Twas a wilder
ness then, ami we located in the pine* here
with nothing but our hands to carve out our
homes. It was an unequal struggle; but
hard work and economy won the day and
two years ago, with my forty acres nearly
Clear of debt, I began to feel that tlie worst
was over. In April of that spring I was as
sisting in driving logs down tlie Cass River,
when I was taken witli a slight but constant
pain in the left side below the heart. As
days passed the trouble increased; my appe- ,
tite fell aivay and I visited one of the best i
known and most successful doctors in Caro
the county seat. 1 was informed tliat 1 had
an inward abscess and must cease work.
“It was hard to quit work when I knew too
well that it only meant another mortgage
on my little farm, but within a few .lays I !
was’obliged to return to my home. The
medicine furnished by tlie doctor gave inc ’
slight relief but I could detect no pernut
nent benefit. My appetite was gone; 1
could not sleep, and each day found me
grotving weaker. I next visited Dr. A. L.
Seeley, of Mayville, who, from the first, said
that he had but slight hopesof benefiting me !
tin I recommended that I go to a sanitarium
With no money this I could not do, even
though it would save my life, and with
m'jdtcine that the doctor furnished I re
turned to my home feeling that the last ray
of hope that I ever would be my former seif
was fast disappearing. Days passed and I .
was rapidly loosing flesh. During the awful
months which I passed that summer -and
I can never forget them —I ivas reduced in
flesh from weighing 168 pounds to 110.
“Slowly the longdays and the awful nights
pissed until another seven days had been
added to the awful days of torture; ami still
no relief, and my weight was now 140 '
Sounds, nerves shattered ami my system in a
eplorable condition. At this juncture my I
wife said that something must be done, and
with assistance I was taken to Mayville,
where Dr. Seeley wasagain consulted. After
making a thorough examination my wife j
earnestly pleaded that he do something for
me. Be said that he could do nothing; re
lief might be found at a sanitarium, but l
otherwise he would give tn* just one more
month to live. Sorrowfully she turned from
the physician's d.x.r, and what I considered
my last journey home was soon to be under
taken. I had read in tlie Caro Dnnorrat of .
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People !
and the benefits many had received from '
tir m, and witli faith less than the ‘grain of
mustard seed,’ I asked her to step into the i
drug store and secur 'a box. This she did,
and after a jolting ride over a poor road we
finally reached home, tired, worn and in
sorrow. I took the first pills that night, and
left my wife sitting sorrowfully eomparmg
the flickering hopes of my life with the faint
rays of light from my luslroom door, while I
thought only of what the doctor had said.
Tlie forepart of tlie night I was restless as
usual, but, do you believe, during tlie latter
part of that very night I caught tlie
first sweet and resting sleep I had enjoyed
for months. 1 continued the medicine the
next day, and the following night I slept,
yes sir; slept a greater portion of the night.
“Oh, you can’t imagine how brightly the
sun shone on our home before that week was
over, and how the faint rays of hope were
fanned into a flame. But my father and
many of my neighbors shook their heads
and said : ‘ Simply something quieting about
those pills; 'twill be back again, look out
for the after effects.’ But here are the after
effects,” said Mr. Underwood standing erect,
the picture of health and weighing 165
pounds. “ From the second day after getting
the pills the change set in. I could sleep,
my appetite came back, and before I had
finished tlie thin! box of Dr. Williams’ Pink
