ASKED AND ANSWERED.
BY C. E. W. DOBBS, D.D.
Pleane explain these paHaagea of
Scripture. One of our good Bapttet
brothers here argues that horses
have a future life. 1. We read in 2
Kings 2:11 where Elijah was tarried
up Into heaven in a chariot of fire and
horses of fire.
2. In 2 Kings G:it we read that the
mountains were full of horses anti
chariots of fire round about Elisha.
In Hev. 6:2. where .John saw in
his vision a white horse anti he that
sat on him went forth conquering and
to conquer.
I. In Eccl. 3:19 that man has no pre
eminence above a beast.
J. H. F.
The passages cited have no bearing
whatever upon the question which
the "good Baptist brother" has gone
daft on. In the first three texts the
obvious interpretation is that the lan
guage is vividly figurative. If Elisha
was to seo Ids Master go up into
heaven, nothing would seem more
natural than that some such scene
as that described should take place.
The fact that they were "horses of
fire" show that they were not real
horses. The same may be said about,
t lie vision of the prophet's servant,
in the Revelation vision of John it
would be ridiculous to understand the
language i.uirally. The whole Reve
lation Is a series of prophetic sym
bols, which are to he interpreled ac
cording to the laws of symbolic lan
guage. For example, how absurd to
understand literally uie scene in Rev.
10:1, or 12:1. Eccl. 3:19 reads: "For
that which oefaileth the. sons of men
befallcth beasts; even one thing bc
falletli iiiem; as the one dietli, so dieth
the other; yea, they have ail one
breath; and man hath no pre-emi
nence above the beasts. I lie Hebrew
writer evidently refers to Hie physical
life only. The same atmosphere is
breatlieil alike by man and beast, and
both die when tiiat breath ceases. In
tnat respect "man hath no pre-emi
nence above the beast." 'I lie twenti
eth verse proves that only the physical
life is meant. Man is mortal doomed
to die, lust as are the beasts. The
book of Ecclesiastes is very hard to
fully understand. It is quite like Job
in one respect it seems to be an ar
gument between differing parties, in
which the perplexing questions relat
ing to tile existence of sin and un
rlghteousness are considered from va
rious points of view. Nevertheless
the book recognizes the difference be
tween the "judgment" awaiting the
man and the end of Hie brute. In the
I (th verse of the chapter, and ill chap
ter 12:13, 11, we learn the lesson in
tended.
Will you please let me have your
opinion of women preaching. Some
think it right for them to preach,
hut I for one think it nnscripfural for
a woman to preach or pray in public.
We had a woman preacher in our
place. She gave the chapters in I lie
New Testament which prove, as she
claimed, that women should preach.
I do not think the passages prove it.
Will you please let us hear from you?
W. 11. B.
You do not give the passages quoted
by tlie woman preacher as authority
for her right to preach. Hut it mat
ters not, as we are familiar with the
text they are in the habit of quoting.
There are two passages which ought
to settle the question with all who
believe that Paul was an inspired
teacher. They are 1 Cor. 14:34, 35.
and 1 Tim. 2:8-1o. Tn the' last pas
sage Paul is telling what men may do
and what women should do. But the
women preachers of whom we know
anything sneer at Paul as a "crusty
old’ bachelor” —a “woman hater," etc.
There is not a single proof that Jesus
or any of the apostles ever approved
of women preaching. Not a single
woman preacher is known to the New
Testament. So if I lie New Testament,
is our final authority on the subject,
the case is closed.
Please tell me how John the itaptist
came bv his mime Baptist.
W. H. B.
He was called "me Baptist" be
cause lie baptized. The woru means
the “Baptizer." Ho claimed that he
was sent by God io baptize, as we
know from John 1:33, and from
Christ’s words in Matt. 21:25. The
Holy Spirit inspired the sacred writers
to call him "John the Baptist." Hence
me name came from heaven.
1 will be glad if you will give us
the meaning of this passage of Scrip
ture: Habakkuk 3:3—"God come
from Toman, and me Holy One from
Mount Paran." 1 have heard several
speak of it an., wanted to know its
meaning.
W. H. B.
The words occur in what is known
as tlie "prayer of Habakkuk,” and is
poetry in tlie original, and by those
capable of appreciating Hebrew it is
said to lie “sublime." The prophet was
overwhelmed with the fearful
"speech” of the Almighty in his
threatened "wrath" upon the people—
referring to the coming captivity in
Babylon. He prays that God may in
those years of wrath remember mercy
to his people, and keep them alive —-
preserve them a nation. Then in
verse 3 he draws comfort from the
vemembrance of what God had done
for Israel in the time of their deliver
ance in the wilderness. “Teman” is
the country south of Judea, a part of
Edom, in which latter country "Pa
ran" —the desert region extending to
Sinai was located. It was the region
in which God gloriously manifested
himself when giving the law on Sinai,
and in which he had saved Israel. So
now. Habakkuk prays for the same
delivering mercy and power. The
verse thus refers to God's glorious
coming to Israel in the time of the
giving of the law on Sinai.
Why are the wruings of Mark and
Luke received as inspired, when there
is no record of any promise of inspira
tion to them? We know that Mat
thew and John were inspired, for
they were among the disciples to
whom Jesus promised his Spirit. But
what right have we to put any others
among the inspired?
N. W. B.
This letter recalls that of W. A. N..
to which our answer was written and
mailed to the Index before this was
received. Both correspondents refer
to the same controversy. So it seems
that we here have the ground upon
which the preacher in question bases
his objection to regarding the Gospels
of Luke and Mark as inspired. If the
reason alleged holds good against the
inspiration of these two sacred pen
men. it holds equally good against
Paul, for he was not of the number
to whom Jesus promised his Spirit
(Jolm 14:26; 16:12, 13; 20:21, 22). It
may be replied that Jesus afterwards
appeared to Paul and constituted him
a special witness to the Gentiles, and
that this mission implied inspiration.
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER, 26 1896.
Thiw is freely granted, and yet the
fact does not In the least militate
against the inspiration of the others
In question. It Is generally agreed
among scholars that Mark wrote his
Gospel under the Immediate direction
of Peter indeed the early Christian
writers speak of it as "Peter’s Gos
pel." -Mark was Peter's son in the
faith, as we may learn from 1 Peter
5:13. Hence we may really say that
Mark was simply Peter’s amanuensis
in writing his Gospel. Luke, we
know, was Paul's companion in his
missionary work, and there is no im
propriety in thinking of him as writ
ing both the Gospel and the Acts un
der his supervision. Some critical
scholars think that when he speaks of
"my Gospel” lie refers to the Gospel
by Luke. In the light of these facts,
then, we may confidently conclude
that both Mark and Luke wrote with
tlie approval of the apostles,, and cer
tainly their writings give every evi
dence of having been composed ac
cording to the will of God. Their in
spiration rests upon the very same
grounds upon which the rest of the
New Testament is received.
What was the “speech of Lycaonia”
spoken of in Acts 14:11?
M. P.
It was the native language of that
province, but nothing is positively
known concerning it. Scholars are
divided, in opinion some contending
that the Lycaonians were originally
from Assyria, and, therefore, this
"speech" was a corrupted dialect of
Hie Assyrian language. Others say it
was merely a corrupted Greek ..lalect.
We know tlie Lycaonians were a very
rude and uneducated people. Cicero
speaks contemptuously of them as a
“race of savages” "a fickle and per
fidious race.” The fact that they sup
posed Barnabas and Paul were gods
come down from heaven in the form
of men, cannot lie urged as proof of
their rude and ignorant condition, for
such belief was common among the
heathen among the most refined and
educated as well as among the bar
barous.
Being very anxious to keep up with
tlie times and organizations, and espe
cially the good ones, please tell me
through the Asked and Answered
column of ue Christian Index which
must I join—
The Young Men's Christian Associa
tion ;
'I ne Christian Endeavor Society;
Tlie Baptist Young People's Union;
The Epworth League;
The Woman’s Christian Temperance
Union; or
The Baptist church of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ?
H. H.
We give this unique inquiry in the
chosen form of our correspondent.
By all means you should first of all.
after being converted, join the church
some Baptist church. Then you
should faithfully fulfill tlie covenant
into which every church member en
ters, which demands that we shall
strive to advance the interests of the
church in all proper ways; that we
will cheerfully and liberally contribute
of our means for the support of its
ministry and the advancement of the
kingdom of jurist in the earth. In
other words, every church member is
required by his profession to do all
lie can for tlie glory of his Lord. Now,
if lie can find an avenue for usefulness
in the organizations mentioned, we see
no impropriety in his joining some
of them- always, of course, recogniz
ing liis supreme allegiance to the
church. If these organizations inter
fere with his duties to his church, he
must ignore them, and hold to his
church, in the main we have not
found that the B. Y. P. U. interferes
in tlie least with duty to the church;
rather our experience has been that
those church members who have
united with the Union, and faithfully
followed its rules, have become better
church members-more liberal, more
prayerful, more regular in attendance
upon church services, etc. The pastor
who has a good B. Y. P. U. in his
church knows just where he can al
ways find workers for the Lord on
whom he can depend especially in
seasons of revival work. In the par
ticular Union with which we are con
nected there are “young people” all
along tlie notches between fifteen and
sixty years. Among them are found
all the officers and teachers in the
Sunday-school, and the majority of
the attendants at the prayer-meeting.
We do no.t thinu that Baptist young
people should organize “Christian
Endeavor Societies;” better to have
“Baptist Unions.” Os course the Bap
tists should not join tne "Epworth
League”—that is for Methodists. We
are somewhat chary of the W. C. T. U.
since it has gone off into so many
side “reforms" —particularly its in
tense adherence to "woman preach
ing” and "woman suffrage.” In its
legitimate work we have ever sympa
thized. and while tlie organization
contented itself witli tiiat woiiv it had
our hearty support. The Y. M. C. A.
certainly does a fine work in our large
cities —a work which needs to be done,
and which the churches as such have
not done. Whether the churches
might not, and should not, do that
work is another question—certainly it
is not done by them. We question
whether they ought or can do all of
it; for very much which the Associa
tion accomplishes is really beyond
the legitimate work of the church —
such as the educational and physical
culture features for example. We
frankly confess that we see no work
for the Association in small cities and
towns which may not be fully done
by the churches, and such agencies as
general philanthropy may suggest.

The deacons of the Athens Baptist
church desire to offer the following
tribute to the memory of our departed
and greatly beloved brother, Williams
Rutherford, senior deacon of tins
church;
It has been poetically said that
“Death loves a shining mark.” The
wisdom of inspiration has more truly
represented him as “no respecter of
persons.” He is the great reaper
whom God, at the allotted time, sends
forth to gather in those who have
performed their earthly mission and
who are ripe for eternity.
Some die when the rosy hues of
health are just blooming on the
cheek; some when, to mortal eyes,
they appear to be at the very zenith
of their usefulness and fame, radiant
stars shining with resplendent beauty
in the earthly firmament; others after
a long life of activity and usefulness,
fully matured and ready like the gold
en grain for the reaper’s scythe.
Os this last class was our departed
brother whom we an loved so much,
so well, and so long. How often have
we listened to his fervent prayers and
encouraging words, and received new
inspiration from him in our efforts to
promote and carry on the cause in
which we, as deacons, were engaged,
and which he loveu so well. His mind
seemed to us to be a storehouse of
resources, and it often seemed to us
that when we had exhausted our ef
forts and done our best to accomplish
our purpose for the good of the caurch
and saw failure staring us in the face,
that Bro. Rutherford could help us
out of our difficulties, we would turn
to him or seek his presence like a
child to its parent; he was always
ready with his counsel ano superior
wisdom to htiip and inspire when the
trouble seemed greatest and the task
most difficult.
He was fearless in the cause of
right, and was as independent as he
was fearless. The right, as he under
stood it, he would maintain on all
occasions. He was tlie possessor of a
kind heart, a strong and affectionate
nature, which went out to his friends,
to whom he .was attached as men sel
dom are.
Being a loyal child of nature, it was
as natural for him to look “from na
ture up to nature's God as it was lor
air to move, or water to flow, a bird
to sing, or an infant to smile.”
In short, he was true to intensity in
every relation of life, and had no
faults save such as the best of our
kind cannet escape, and are as sins
imputed in contrast with sins com
mitted.
And why say more? The best eulo
gy that the best genius could pay our
deceased brother would have to lie
taken rather as the will than the deed,
and in that spirit we present this,
knowing that after all we have said,
or may say in his praise, that all we
can hope to accomplish is to show as
surviving deacons our appreciation of
our deceased and greatly beloved
lirother, who has been called to be
hold tlie King in his beauty and re
stored to the companionship of the
loved and lost.

WELLS.—Mr. J. D. Wells was born
in Jefferson county, Georgia, august
31, 1854, and moved to Lee county,
Georgia, with his family when a boy,
where he has silent the prime of his
young manhood life, and leaves many
friends who join with relatives in la
menting his untimely death. He had
been a member of the Baptist church
for two years, and while admitting
that he had not been obedient to his
Christian obligations as duty required,
he felt while in the trying hour of
eternal departure that all was well —
the future was bright,
Mr. Wells was never married. But
his faithfulness to his aged mother,
only sister and entire family was strik
ingly beautiful, and exemplified the
true manhood living in his noble
breast.
On the sth of September, 1896, about
9 o’clock in the morning, life's brittle
thread was clipped and his spirit
winged its flight to him who gave it.
Released from pain, after four days
of intense suffering, sorrow and sad
ness, the result of a fatal wound re
ceived in a deplorable combat.
May the mantle of charity be drawn
over the unfortunate incident, and the
wisdom of an all-wise Providence be
the guardian angel of all afflicted
hearts.
Death is oft looked upon
As a dreadful foe;
For at its bidding every one
Must cease to work, and go.
And yet 'tis but a sweet repose.
Os heavenly wisdom horn;
To rest from all our earthly woes
Until the resurrection morn.
But oh! so hard for loved ones dear
To bear the trying pain;
To realize from year to year
Their loss is his eternal gain.
The happy home is dark and silent,
Where once 'twas light and joy;
The mother’s love is moaning ever
The death of her darling boy.
The sighing wind softly peals
The saddest funeral knell;
The painful sorrow she daily feels
No mortal tongue can ever tell.
But time will calm the troubled heart,
Tears will harden into sighs;
And hope will seek the cherished rest
Angels have above the skies.
Farewell, our friend, we hope to
meet
“Beyond the silent river;”
Where endless life is pure and sweet
And peace and joy will reign for
ever.

WAGNER. —Bro. Samson Wagner
was born Oct. 4, 1850„ and departed
this life Sept. 3, 1896. He was snatch
ed from our midst so suddenly it was
a terrible shock to his family, church
and neighborhood. He only lived
eight hours after being cut in a gin
nery. He had but a short warning.
He told his friends not to be excited,
for he was not afraid of death. He
leaves a wife and seven children to
mourn his death. He joined Shiloh
Baptist church July 23, 1874. and lived
a true Christian life up to his death.
He urged the church to press for
ward in all good works. He was al
ways at his post in the church and in
Sunday-school and always ready and
willing to contribute to all charitable
causes. We mourn the loss of our
brother and extend our heart-felt sym
pathy to the bereaved family and
friends.

tYom the Courier-Herald, Saginaw, Mich.
That we know not what a day may bring
forth is an old adage and a true one. To-day
our skies are bright and sunny; we have
health, strength and activity. We reckon
confidently on the future and lay our plans
accordingly, but when that to-morrow comes
we may be stricken suddenly down by the I
hand of disease, and lie on a bed of suffering
and sorrow.
Every day we see illustrations of tins tact
among the fr nds in our own circle. To-day i
they are wel. and strong and are pursuing
their daily labors; to-morrow the afflicting
hand of disease or death lias brought them
down to helpless illness or the grave. Among
the many ills that afflict humanity, and one
tiiat baffles the highest medical skill of the
present day, none is more feared and none
leaves the victim more helpless or hopeless
of ultimate relief than that known as
paralysis.
Sometimes it creeps gradually oyer the
victim, perceptibly closing its ever tighten
ing coils from day to day and again it comes
like a lightning flash, and tile once strong :
man or woman is more helpless than aeliild.
Such was tlie case with Mrs. Ruth Wolcott
the wife of Rev. H. B. Wolcott, an esteemed
minister of the gospel, living on their hand
some farm a few miles from the thriving
little town of Blanchard, Isabella County,
Michigan.
While attending to her daily duties the ■
hand of that dread disease, paralysis, was
laid heavily upon her, and when she was
alone at her fireside.
In conversation with a Courier-Herald
representative, who had heard of her severe
case and cure, siie spoke as follows: “ The
stroke came on one day shortly after dinner.
The men had just gone out on the farm to
work in the fields, and I was ironing. All
at once I felt a flash over my brain like an
electric shock and something tiiat seemed
like a bead of perspiration seemed to run
down my ‘eft lower limb into my shoe. I sat
down for a moment ami then, feeling better,
resumed my ironing. Again, in a tew min
utes, there came another flash over my head,
and again there was the peculiar sensation
of something running down tny side. Then :
I knew that something serious was about to ■
happen and I made haste to reach a bed, ;
where I fell, under the influence of paralysis, i
After I had laid there fora few minutes my
husband came in and not seeing me where
I had been working, lie looked for me and
found me lying helpless.
"My speeeli was not affected, and I told
nfm what was the matter. A doctor was at
once sent for to the village of Blanchard, a
few miles away, and he came out to the i
farm in about three hours, but he could not
afford me any relief. This was three years i
ago—in April, 1892—that I suffered from
this stroke of paralysis. It affected my left
side anil rendered me helpless. For a year
following this I had skilled medical attend- '
ance, using among other things an electric .
battery, but it all did me no good.
“ At this time I read in a paper about Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills, and they were also
recommended to me by some of my friends,
who had heard of the many cures that they
had effected in cases like mine. After I had
been taking them for about two weeks I be
gan to feel better and have continued to
steadily improve. The paralysis was so bad
that I could not walk around the house, but
had to be lifted about. My left arm was also
entirely helpless. lam now able to walk
around and get out to call on my friends and
neighbors, and am so well that I can get
around very well. I used twenty boxes of
Pink Pills."
As Mrs. Wolcott concluded the recital of

POWELL.—In the month of May
the spirit of sister Emma Powell took
its flight heavenward to join .ne host
of loved ones who are waiting and
have left the gate ajar for her. She
was a sufferer from consumption, but
bore it with humble submission.
Resolved, 1. While death has robbed
our little church at Woodbury of one
of its most consistent members, may
we feel our loss is her eternal gain.
Resolved, 2. That we sympathize
with the bereaved husband and rela
tives and may her life be a benedic
tion to us all.

Herald could readily believe the many re
ports of wonderful cures effected by the
wonderful and popular remedial agent. Al
though Mrs. Wolcott is sixty-two years of
age. and has suffered an affliction that might
readily prostrate a younger person, she
looked well and hearty, and gave evidence
of strength and activity unusual for her age.
Inquiry at the two drug stores in the vil
lage near by brought forth the information
that the case of M rs. Wolcott was well known
throughout that section, and was considered
a remarkable cure. Both druggists reported
that there was a steady demand for Dr. M 11-
liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.
From the Republican, Harbor Springe, Mich.
One of the leading citizens of Northern
Michigan is Mr. George W. Childs, who has
made himself famous as a successful hotel
managerat the popular summer resort, Bay
View. When Mr. Childs first arrived at
Bay View, some years ago, the resort busi
ness of Northern Michigan was still in its
infancy. With the little money he had he
purchased the Bay View House, but running
a hotel in this part of the country at that
time was rather up-hill business, and he had
to work night and day to make both ends
meet.
“ When I came to Bay View I was a
strong, robust man, but close confinement to
my duties as manager of the hotel and
the amount of hard latxtr 1 was compelled to
do, soon told on me and I was taken to my
bed.
“ I immediately began doctoring but the
physicians con: ulted did me no good, and I
paid out many hard-earned dollars in doctor
bills.
“My nervous system was completely
played out, I suffered severe pains in the
head and hail no appetite. Finally I told
my wife that I had determined to sell out
and leave the country thinking that a
change of climate might be benetieial. But
in the midst of my sufferings, like the sun
shine tiiat breaks through a dark cloud, a
messenger came from heaven, so to speak.
While I was perusing my morning paper I
chanced to glum e at an article speaking of
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.
I saw that they wi re said to cure exactly
what seemed to ail me—shattered nerves
and sick headaches.
“ 1 told my w ife about my discovery but
she said it would only be another useless ex
penditure. 1, however, thought ‘nothing
ventured, nothing gained,’and determined
to have a box, as they cost only 50 cents.
I'.y the time I had taken half the box I felt
much relieved, and then I knew that 1 had
struck a remedy much better than a pliysic
l ian and certainly a good deal cheaper.
“After Iliad used the whole box I was
able to leave my bed. I persevered in tak
: ing them and when the fourth box was gone
j 1 was as you see me now—a perfectly well
i man. To Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills I owe
my life and I wish J could sing their praises
I throughout the land that all might know the
! life-giving power of these little pellets. Cer
! tainly suffering humanity has had no better
: friend than Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in acon
! densed form, all the elements necessary to
; give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also a
specific for troubles peculiar to females, such
as suppressions, irregularities and all forms
of weakness. In men they effect a radical
cure in all cases arising from mental worry,
overwork or excesses of whatever nature.
Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose
bulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes fors2.s<),
and may he had of all druggists, or direct
