ASKED AND ANSWERED,
BY C. K. W. DOBBS, D.D.
I nin so much Instructed and helped
by your answers that I Inclose several
questions:
1. Were the ancient, Greeks and Ro
mans the game people, or race; and
did the Romans of Christ's time speak
what we now call the Greek lan
guage?
2. Are the present Italians the same
race of people as the ancient Ro
mans, and do they speak the same
language, or what tongue do the Ilal
ians now speak?
3. What is the difference, if any,
between the ancient Greek, Roman,
Athenian and Italian?
A. S.
1. The ancient Greeks delighted to
call their country Hellas, and them
selves Hellenes. The name Greeks
was applied to them later by the Ro
mans. The original inhabitants of
Greece were known as Pelasgians, a
certain tribe or number ot tribes who
inhabited Italy, Thracia, Macedonia, a
part of Asia Minor, and many other
regions of Southern Europe, in pre
historic times. Like the rest, of the
human family, they came from Asia—
when, history knows not. According
to Herodotus the Hellenes them
selves sprang from the Pelasgians,
and there can be no doubt that the lat
ter did form an important element as
well as in the formation of the Latin,
or Roman race. The step from Greece
to Italy is natural enough. It is most
probable that Ihe Hellenes originally
were only a branch of the Pelasgian
stock, who by their superior energy
gradually overspread the whole of
Greece and gave their name to the
country. In all such circumstances
there is naturally a blending of the
several people’s inhabiting a country.
Italy received its name from the most
powerful of the races who settled the
peninsula before history began. They
were almost certainly of the same stock
as the people who settled Greece. The
same racial stock settled Gaul, or
France, and Spain. Everybody knows
the myth of Romulus and Remus, and
the fabled founding of me city of
Rome. Virgil’s Aeneld is founded on
file supposed coming of a Greek hero
to Italy and the establishment of the
great government, which became the
ruling power of the world. The Ro
man language was the Latin, which is
closely allied to the Greek language.
In the time of Greece the Romans
spoke their own language, which was
the law language of Palestine, though
the spoken language of Palestine was
what is known as Aramaic, which was
a sort of corruption of Hebrew and
Chaldee. The Greek language was the
best known language of literature.
Hence the New Testament was writ
ten in Greek.
2. The Italians of to-day are un
doubtedly, for the most part, descend
ants of the ancient Romans, though
many other tribes and races have min
gled their blood with tne. people of
Italy. In the overthrow of the Roman
Empire, several centuries after Christ,
the Goths and Vandals, and other
tribes from the North of Europe, pour
ed down into Italy, and became to a
greater or less degree amalgamated
with the inhabitants of the land. The
Italian language is one of those called
Romanic languages- that is, those
languages sprung from the ancient
Imtin. such as the Italian, Spanish,
Portuguese, French. These are all
allied languages. It is said that the
Italian preserves tne traits of the
mother Latin in more recognizable
forms than any of the sister tongues.”
3. 'I ne "Athenian” was the same as
the Greek. The rest of the question
is answered in what has alreau? been
given.
Is it profitable anil helpful to a new
preacher, with but little education, to
read such works as "Macaulay's Es
says and Poems" in 3 volumes, aud
Millon's poetical works, J. Fenimore
Cooper’s works, ten volumes, and is
Ceikic’s l.ife of Christ as good as
Edersheim's?
A. S.
Macaulay's works can be read with
great pleasure and profit by
any reasonably educated mind. Os
course. Milton's works are standard
English classics. We confess we have
never read Fenimore Cooper. Geike's
Life of Christ, perhaps, is more popu
lar than Edersheim's. The latter,
however, was written by a Jewish
Christian, and is said to be better for
one who wishes to understand the
Jewish customs with which the reader
of the New Testament comes in con
tact. Os all the "lives” of Christ we
think the best for the average reader
is that of Hanna, which is published
by the American Tract Society in a
cheap edition |LSO. We would sup
pose that any one witli a common
English education would find all these
works profitable. We would add to
tlie list: Life and Epistles of Paul
(Coneybeare aud Howson); West
cott's Gospel of the Resurrection;
Young's Christ of History: Bernard's
Progress of Doctrine in the New Testa
ment. aud a good commentary.
Which is the best and most useful
to a mau in middle life with only a
limited English education, the Colum
bian Cyclopedia or the Encyclopedia
Britannica, or is either needful if one
has an unabridged dictionary and
some other helps?
A. S.
Nothing can take the place of a
good encyclopedia. There is a dic
tionary recently published which at
tempts to combine lexicon and ency
clopedia- the Encyclopedic Dictionary
—and it is really a fine work —four
large volumes, which can be had for
about S3O. But if one has Webster’s
latest unabridged, he needs no other
dictionary. But he does need an en
cyclopedia. Either of those named
is good, though the Columbian is to a
great extent a reprint of the old Cham
bers. We use a cheap reprint of the
Britannica and also the Chambers, as
well as other similar works. Smith's
Dictionary of the Bible is almost in
dispensable. too. If one can afford it,
it is better to get the full work —four
volumes—though the abridged edition
is valuable —one volume.
Will you please explain 1 Samuel
16:10, 11. and 1 Chron. 2:13-15? These
Scriptures do not seem to teach very
clearly just how many sons Jesse had.
Your explanation of these passages
will be very much appreciated by a
reader of the Index.
May the Lord greatly bless aud give
vou wisdom.
A. R. R.
In the second passage David is call
ed the seventh son of Jesse, and the
“youngest" in the first passage. The
difficulty is in the statement that
“Jesse made seven of his sons to pass
before Samuel." after which it is said:
"And Samuel said to Jesse. The Lord
has not chosen these." There would
seem to be no way of reconciling the
discrepancy unless we assume. 1. That
verse 10 merely states in its first
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY, DECEMBER. H 1896
clause the fact that during the inter
view all of the sons passed in review—
the record then returning to the In
terrupted history of the finding of
David, the beginning of the story be
ing in verses 6-9; or, 2. That the word
"seven” In verse 10 is a mistake of
some transcriber, the original being
"six.” Such a mistake in transcrib
ing would be very easily made, as the
mind of the transcriber would be occu
pied with the fact that all the seven
Hona did come before the prophet dur
ing the transaction.
Will you lie so kind as to explain
Gal. 5:4? My reason for asking an
explanation of this particular Scrip
ture is that some of our brethren have
become confounded, owing to a dis
course delivered by a Methodist
preacher here yesterday.
D. M. W.
Paul is insisting upon the funda
mental Gospel truth that we are justi
fied by faith, and not by works of
law. He says: "Christ Is become of
no effect unto you, whosoever of you
are justified by the law; ye are fallen
from grace.” That is, Christ must be
accepted as the only Savior, by whose
grace we are pardoned, or he can be
nothing to us—we cannot trust partly
to Christ’s grace and partly to our
own works. We must choose one way
or the other. He who trusts to the
law, or to his own works of righteous
ness, for salvation, by that act rejects
Christ— fails away from tne Gospel of
grace. According to this text “falling
from grace” is trusting in one’s own
righteousness, rather than in the
merit of Christ. It does not refer to
what is popularly called “falling from
grace”; for all those justified by grace
shall lie glorified. Rom. 8:30; Phil.
1:6; John 10:27.

“The Ansel ol Little Sacrifices. ’’
This should be the guiding and the
guarding angel of the home. Whait a
gentle, unobtrusive angel it is; how
sweet and silent, dear and helpful. It
is not in great emergencies, demand
ing unlimited surrender, that, this
genius presides. It is in the daily liv
ing that the ministry is needed, in the
thousand frictions, the .small exactions,
nameless adjustments, and countless
opportunities that befall. It is the
angel of little sacrifices that hovers
near, when little self-indulgences are
quietly given up, and small prefer
ences yielded, without a word; for what
is trumpeted is spoiled, and Hie in
jured aspect or the condescending air,
ruins the result.
Firmness in principle, regardless of
feeling, may be indeed heroic; but the
graceful yielding of what is called a
mere preference, which yet may be as
deeply rooted as a principle, may in
fact, be scarcely less heroic, when all
the clamorous, self-asserting feelings
inside, rise up and protest against it.
Where many live together, there must
lie innumerable choices and desires,
and even whims and conflicting plans.
Some one must sacrifice wishes and
convenience in trifles, or the machin
ery will certainly jar. It may be in
such minute affairs as the placing of
furniture, the arrangement of drapery,
the hour of meals, the cooking of a
dish, the time •' study or for calls,
or the choice o .umusement, tbaX-the
gentle angel find: the opportunity for
unselfish relinquishment where jus
tice alone would assert its rights.
But in such trifles the perfection of
harmony in home life is found and
kept.
Where "mother” is, there is this
good angel. Her great, renunciations
may perhaps be known and sung, but
her countless small surrenders, that
ease the way, prevent concussion and
conflict, and sweeten the daily cup.
none fully know, though all may feel
the blessing that follows them. Let
us emulate those who, to us, personify
this good angel, and seek the grace
that makes them winsome. If “this
kind goetlli not. out but by prayer
and fasting." nevertheless, let us seek,
for it is worth it all. —Ex.

JEWELL.—Death has again visited
our sanctum, and we are called upon
to mourn the departure of our brother,
friend, and benefactor, D. A. Jewell,
Sr.
Brother Jewell was descended from
a long line of honorable if not eminent
ancestry, whose founder came over
from England over two centuries ago.
He was born April 21st, 1822, at or
near Chicopee Falls, Mass. When he
was about twenty-five years of age he
came to Georgia, and settled at Mil
ledgeville, where, in the year 1849,
he married Miss Mary A. Shea (who
preceded him in death a little over
one year), by whom he raised an es
timable and interesting family, four of
whom have gone beyond; among
whom was that eminent son Orlando.
Six of them survive him: Mrs. A. T.
Cason, of Mayfield; Mr. Wm. H. Jew
ell, of Milledgeville; Mrs. W. L. L.
Bowen, of Jewells; Mr. D. A. Jewell,
Jr., of Jewells; Mrs. C. M. Latimer, of
Macon.
About the year 1859 he came to War
ren county, and purchased what was
then known as Rock Mills factory,
where he established a prosperous
business in cotton manufacturing and
general merchandise, and built up the
village that now bears his name, Jew
ells, Ga., where he, mostly with his
own means, built a handsome house
of worship for the Baptist church, of
which, in the year 1869, he became an
active, energetic member, and worked
for the cause of evangelizing the
world; and was baptized by Elder T.
J. Veazey. He was eminently pious,
and had great reverence for the Lord’s
house and his worship. His liberality
was as great as his means would jus
tify; his honesty was unimpeachable;
his Christian charity was as unbound
ed as the love he bore to his Savior.
He was broad minded, liberal toward
those who entertained different views,
open to conviction, and as ready to re
ceive instructions as a little child. He
was exceedingly modest, yet ever
ready to perform any duty imposed by
the church. None were ever more
punctual at his church meeting, until
failing health would no longer admit
of attendance upon the sanctuary.
He was always ready to hold up the
hands of his pastor, and gave him
moral as well as temporal support, al
lowing no one to cast any insinua
tions, or say an unkind word of his
preacher; and his pastor was always
sure of his sympathy and his prayers
in every good work and laudable un
dertaking, and none enjoyed the con
fidence of his pastor more than he.
He was a kind and indulgent father,
yet very firm in the management of
his children. He was a model hus
band, and indeed was a pattern in all
the affairs of life.
Brother Jewell was one of the Lord's
peacemakers. He enjoyed nothing
more than unplloyed peace among his
brethren and neighbors. He sought
after peace and pursued it. He was a
staunch believer in the tenets of Free
masonry, of which order he was an
honored member for many years in
W. P. Hayes Lodge No. 253, of Jew
ells, Ga. He was also a member ot
Augusta (Ga.) Chapter of Royal Arch
Masons, as well as the Georgia Com
mandery, Knights Templar. He was
always ready with a helping hand to a
worthy brother in distress, and to lift
up the falbn. The poor always found
in him a frig|Mfcd the struggling an
,ui - '
no
thing good he would cer
tainly say nothing bad or unkind.
He was always looking for your vir
tues, and overlooking your faults. If
you had a difference with him, he was
always ready to meet you half way. If
he made a mistake, he was eager to
correct it, if he could. His life was
filled with good words and good works.
The world was better by him having
lived in it.
Here is one whose life is worthy of
imitation, whose example is worthy
to be followed. He has gone away,
and we may no more see his face or
hear his voice, but his works are man
ifest and present with us; and though
he is dead, his life speaks to us, and
bids us emulate. His Christian vir
tues appeal to us to move up on a
higher plane. His faith beckons us
forward to Christian duty, and points
onward and upward to God and holi
ness. His zeal invites us to larger
fields of Christian usefulness, having
shown us how to live a useful, active
Christian life.
On the 25th of September, 1896, he
quietly and peacefully fell asleep in
Jesus. Yes, literally fell asleep in
Jesus.
“Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep.
From which none ever wake to weep."
Sleep on. brother, and rest you in
peace until the trumpet of God shall
call you to the resurrection of the
saints. We. as a church, extend to the
children and grandchildren, as well as
the community, our condolence.
We, your committee, recommend
thalt this memoir be transcribed
upon a page of the church record, set
apart to the memory of brother Jew
ell. Also that a copy be sent to the
Christian Index, with request to pub
lish. Respectfully submitted.

SMALL.—Again God’s summons has
come; this time calling home our be
loved brother, S. W. Small.
When the pearly gates closed after
him, they shut from our view one of
the noblest of God's children.
While his place will always be vacant,
we bow our heads and hearts humbly
and submissively, and thank God that
he gave to us for so long a time such
a noble and worthy life.
On the 25th day of May, 1596. at his
home in Sumter county, brother
Small breathed his exemplary life to
a close, being then in his 50th year,
leaving a devoted wife, three sons, and
one daughter, with a numerous host
of friends and relatives to lament his
death.
Brother Small was a member of the
Bethel Baptist church, Sumter county,
for a number of years, and as such he
was firm in Christian faith, and was
ever ready to do his part in the
church’s work, and to share with his
brethren extra burdens to be borne.
He had a cordial greeting and a kind
word for everybody he met and. as an
exemplary Christian character, he can
not be too highly spoken of. Every
body loved and respected him. No
other citizen or member of our church
would have been more greatly missed
than our beloved brother Small.
Among his last words were these,
“all is well,” and as he lived, so he
died, "in the faith.” and has now en
tered into the rest that remaineth to
the people of God. He dwells in the
home of the blessed, and becomes
of our church be left to his memory.
Therefore be it resolved,

TRAMMELL.—He who doeth all
things well and calls us in his own
good time has called Bro. J. W. Tram
mell, Sr., from the church militant to
the church triumphant. He was born
in Clarke county, Georgia, June 29,
1829. He was married to Miss Nan
nie Hindsman at the age of twenty-six
years; joined the Baptist church in
1874 and died October 1, 1896. Bro.
Trammell loved his church and Sun
day-school, in which he was teacher
for many years. He had great love
for the Baptists and their doctrines.
When the Holy Spirit was at work
in our church meetings, an emotion
beyond that in others could be seen in
Bro. Trammell.
He leaves a wife, two sons and one
daughter, together with a large circle
of relatives and friends, to mourn his
loss.
Resolved, 1. That we realize our
great loss in his death and that one
of our church's main supporters is
gone.
Resolved. 2. That we tender our
heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved
family, hoping they all may meet him
in that beautiful beyond where there
is no more death, but where all is
peace and love.
Resolved, 3. That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to the family, a
copy placed on our church minutes
and one sent to the Christian Index
for wiblication.

LEWIS. —Sister Emily Lewis died
at her home in Thomaston, September
30th, 1896, at the age of 78.
Sister Lewis united with the Baptist
church in August, 1838, and was bap
tized by the Rev. Jacob King, of saint
ed memory. Through all these years
she lived a consecrated Christian life.
Gentle by nature and kind at heart,
her sweet influence was indelibly im
pressed on all with whom she came
in contact; and now that her home, so
long brightened by her presence, is
made desolate, may the hearts of the
children, relatives, and friends, be
turned to God, the only true source of
comfort, and may each so live as to be
prepared to meet with the mother
gone into the beautiful beyond. There
fore
Resolved, That in the death of sis
ter Lewis our town has lost an in
fluence for good, and our church an
emblem of purity.
Resolved 2d, That we tender our ut
most sympathy to the sorrowing loved
ones, for we sorrow with them, as a
token of our loss; and may God be
their stay and refuge.
Resolved 3d, That a copy of these
resolutions be furnished her family, a
copy be spread upon the church book,
a copy be published in the Thomaston
Times, and a copy be sent to the Index
for publication.
Respectfully submitted,

MlNOß.—Alonzo R. Minor was
born October 20, 1874, in Hancock
county, Georgia; “fell asleep in Jesus'
October 9. 1896. His life was short,
yet “like the short-lived flower, full
of beauty and fragrance.” From his
early childhood he was a favorite,
winning all by his amiable and af
fectionate disposition.
He was loyal in all the relations of
life, and was fatally wounded in a fall
which he received while answering a
call to duty.
He met death calmly, bravely and
without a fear, yea confidently, be
lieving that he was going to be with
Jesus. A true friend, a kind, affec
tionate brother, a loving and obedient
son. O how we miss him!
“Farewell, brother! Farewell, brother!
Peaceful be thy suent rest;
Slumber sweetly; God knew best
When to call thee home to rest.
“Farewell, brother! Farewell, brother!
We must say our last farewell
Till we meet beyond the river—
Happy there with thee to dwell.”-
