BAPTIST IIItOTIIF.il’,S OPINION OF
THE PRENDYTB1UAN8.
A lady correspondent of the Independent
gives a sketch of a soruion she heard in Georgia,
nearly half a century ago, from whioh we give an
extract:
The preacher was apparently about fifty years
of age, large, muscular? and well proportioned.
On entering tho pulpit’he took off his coat, and
hung it on a nail behind him, then opened his
oollar, and wristbands (iml wiped tho perspira
tion from his forehead iJnd neck. Ho wus clad
in white cotton homespun and his shirt was of
the same material. -Ho hud traveled several
tulles thnt morning and seemed almost overcome
by the heat, llut tho brethren sung a couple of
hymns while ho was fanning and cooling off,
and when ho rose he looked comfortable uud
good natured.
He had preached thcro’ ouco or twice before,
but to most oi the audience ho was a stranger.
Hence he thought it necessary to announce him-
sell which ho did as “Old Club Ax Duvis, from
Screven County, a Half Hard and Half Soil
Shell Baptist.”
I have given myself that name, said he, be
cause I believe the Lord eleoted me Irom eterni
ty, to go ahead iu tho backwoods and grub out
a path and blaze away for other men to follow.
After tho thickest of it is cut away, some warm
Methodist brother will come "along, and take
my trail, and make all things easier and a good
deal smoother. And after all the underbrush is
cleared out, and tho owls and wolves are skeered
back, and rattlesnakes is killed off a Presbyle-
brother will come along in black broadcloth umu y
and white craiat, aud cry for decency and order. ( ^° 11
And they’ll both do good iu their sphere. I lin y
don’t despise a larnt man even when he don’t luilut
dress aud think as I do. You couldn’t pay me H rH PI
uough to wear broadcloth summer nor winter,
aud you can’t pay a Presbyteriun enough to go
without it iu dog days.
God didn’t make us all alike, my brethren;
but every umn has his own sphere. When God
has a place to fill, he makes a muu and puts him
. When he wanted General Jackson, he
made him and set him to fightin' Injuns aud the
English; when ho wanted George Whitfield, he
made him lor to blow tho gospel trumpet as no
other man ever blowed it; aud when he wanted
Old Club Ax Davis he made hjtn aud set him to
work grubbing iu the backwoods.
But my shell isn’t so bard but I cau sec good
pints iu everybody; and as for the Presbyterians,
they are a long way ahead of Baptists and Meth
odists iu some thiugs.
They raise their children better than any
other on the face of' the earth. Only the other
day a Methodist class leader said to me, Brother
Club Ax, I was born u Methodist, I was raised a
Methodist, and by the grace of God I hope to
die a Methodist, but thank God I got a Presby
terian wile to raise my children. Aud if breth
ren, the Lord should open tho way for me to
marry again, I’d try my best to find a Presbyte
rian woman, and run my chances of breakin’
her into the saving doctrines of feet washing
and immersion uiterwurdR.
Just at this point he was interrupted by two
spotted hounds that had been continually run
ning np and down tho pulpit stairs. One of
them jumped up on the seat aud began to gnaw
his coat tuil iu which was something ho brought
tor a lunch. He turned slowly around, and
took him by the ears and tail and threw him out
at the window behind him, us easily as if it had
been a young kitten. The other took warning
and got out ol the way as rapidly as possible,
th« ugh not without howling aud yelping as il
he had been hall *killed.
He then turned to the audience, and said
smilingly:
St. Paul warned tho brethren to beware of
dogs, I wonder what he would do if he were iu
my place this morning? It appears like I atn
apassed about with dogs us David said he
Jersey wagiu, whioh was a stylish thing in them
days, aud went over to her house, aud stayed all
night, and engaged her to ride to church with
me next day which was Sunday.
We went and had a glorious time—and I may
as well say right hero that she was afterwards
my wife—but a coming homo I met with a pow
erful neoident that I never got ovor to this day.
As I was a oomiu down a steep hill, some of tho
gearing gave way aud let mo aud the wagin on
my cruter’s heels, aud being slteery, she wrig
gled nud kicked aud tore from one Hide of the
road to tho other, until I was pitched as much
as ten foot into a deep gulloy, and it's a miracle
my neck wasn't broke on tho Rpot.
Expeclin to bo killed, I thought to ask thu
Lord for mercy. But as I never prayed in my
lile, I oouldu’t think of tho first thing to say but
the blossiu my father used to nbk before eatiu
when wo had company, whioh was this, “Lord
make us thnnklul for this we are about to re
ceive.”
Now, my brethren, do you ’sposo any Presby
terian raised boy, was ever put to snob a straight
as that lor a prayer? No. He would have
prayed for himself and gouo after the Jews aud

He had scarcely commenced preaching again
before there was a terrible squalling aud kicking
among the mules and horses that were tied to
trees close by. He put his head out oi the win
dow and said:
No harm done, my brethren. Just a creter
with a Bide saddle ou haB brokeu loose.
Will some brother head the animal, for no
sister cau walk home this hot day.
Quiet being restored ho continued:
* As I said before, the Piesbyterians raise the
children a heap better than wo do. They be
have better in church aud keep {Sunday better
than ours do, and read the Bible and lam the
catechism better than ours do. I declare my
brethren their children are larnt the Westminis
ter Catechism by the time they can begin to
talk plain.
It ain’t three weeks since I was out a cattle
hunting—for two of my yearlings had strayei
off—aud I stopped in at old Brother Ilarkey 1
on Mud Creek and took dinner. He’s a deacoil
iu the Presbyterian church thar.
Well, as true as I stand here, my bretheriil
sister Ilarkey hud her little gtil staudiug rigll
before her, with her toes just even with tlf
crack oi the floor, and her hands was a hanging
down by her side, aud her mouth turned up
like a chicken when it drinks, and she was put
tin’ this question to her out oi that catechism:
What are the benefits which iu this lile do
either accompany or flow from justification,
adoption aud sane ification ?
Now the question itself was enough to break
the child down. But when she beam to say
that question all over aud then put the answer
to it iu this way, Tho benefits which iu this life
do either accompany or flow from justification
adoption and sanctification are peace of con
science, joy iu the Holy Ghost, increase of grace,
uaa*perRoverauce therein to the end, I thought
the child was the greatest wonder l hud ever
turned out remarkably well. Corn promises
well; it only needs a continuance of the rain-*-
and cotton is just good enough. ’
The reason why we don't get out a big pnner
is because we don’t feel like it. As small as this

AddreBB JAMES VICK, Rochester, N. y.
Now, my brethren, tbnt child didn’t know or
understand tho meaning of ono word o’ that.
It put uiu to ull I ltuew to tuko it iu myself.
But just let that Fresbyteriau youug uu grow
up, uud every word of that catechism will come
to her, and her character will stiff n up uuder it,
and she’ll havo the buckbonoof the mutter iu her
for life.
Now I can’t put things into my children that
way. Nothing don’t stay somehow. It’s like
drivin’ a nail iuto a rotten log.
This last remark I never forgot. For thirty
years afterward, ns I would stand at the black
board trying to fix rules aud principles into the
mind of u dull pupil, this remark would come
ba k to me with its peculiar pertiueuce.
I tell you my brethereu, ho continued, if our
children hud a littlo more Catechism, cud the
Presbyterian little less, it would bo better for
both.
Then we don’t pray iu . our families like they
do. I kuow their prayers are mighty long, and
they pray all over creation, but after all, it’s tho
right wuy. It’s belter than piayin’ too little.
Now, my father and mother were good Bap
tists, and raised their children to be houest und
iudustrrous; but I never hoard one of them
pray in ray life, and I was most a grown umn
before I ever prayed a prayer myself, and it was
iu this wise:
There was to be a big meetin’ ovor in Elbort
county, and I knowed a gal over tbar that I
wanted lo go aud see. JSo I borrowed n littlo
bad lain down for ti nap, was suuvicu *,j
el’s nose being thrust iir at the door of his house.
“It is very cold outside,” said tho camel;
“pray allow uic to get my nose in.”
Tho miller was uu easy kind of a man, so the
nose was let iu.
“The wind is very sharp,” sighed the camel;
‘/pray allow my neck to get inside.”
Thie request was ulso grunted, aud the neck
was thrust in.
“IIow fast the rain begins to fall ! I shall get
wet through. Will you let me place my should
ers uuder cover ?”
This, too, was granted; nud so tho camel
asked for a little aud a little more, until ho had
pushed his whole body iuto the bouse.
The miller soon began to bo put to much
trouble by the rudo companion ho hud got into
h’s room, which was not largo enough for both,
aud us the rain was over, ho civily uskod him to
depart.
“If you don’t like it you may leave,” saucily
replied tho beast. “As for myself,I know when
I am well off nud shall stay where I am.’
This is a veiy good story. Wo hope the
Arabs are all tho wiser and better for it; but let
us also try to turn it to good account.
There is a camel knocking at the heart of us
all, young aud old, seeking to bo let in—its
uuuie is sin. It comes, silently and carefully,
aud kuocks, “let me iu” only a part ut first. So
in cc mes the nose, and it is not long before,
littlo by little, it gains entire possession; like as
ii was with the Aclmu of old, “I saw,” “I cov
eted,” “I took,” “I hid”—step by step, uutil he
was “led to captivity by tho devil.”
Once in possession tho master soon becomes
the tyraut. Thus it is that bud thoughts enter
tho heart; then bad wishes arise; then wrong
deeds; until evil habits rule us. The French
suy, “It is the first step that costs;” for if tho
ttr-t stop is not taken, the second will never be
known.

An Irishman, writing from California says:
It’s an illignnt country. The bed-bugs nro as
big as dinner pots, while the fleas are used for
crossing creeks with—one hop aud they aro over

I say, Paddy, that is tho worst looking horse
you drive I ever saw. Why don’t you fatten
him up?” “Fat him up, is it? Faix, tho poor
baste cau hardly carry tho littlo mate that’s ou
him now,” replied Paddy.
Straws swim upon the surface, but pearls lie
at the bottom. Showy parts strike every com

man head aud human heart.
An advertisement appeared in one of the Wes
tern papers, which reads as follows: “Ran Away
—A hired uiau named John, his nose turned up
fivo feet eight inches high; aud had ou a pair of
corduroy pauts much worn.”
“I try to preach the milk of the Word,” re
plied a city clergyman to a parishioner who re
monstrated that his sermons were too long.
“Yes," remarked tho other, “but round here
what we want is coudeused milk.”
The graduating class of West Point has had a
cup.made, costing three hundred dollars, to be
presented to the first baby born to any of the
class who shall marry. This is calculated to
make the iufautry manoeuvres quite lively.
A little boy in Dover refusing to take a pill,his
mother placed it iu a piece of preserved pear and
gave it to him. In a few miuutes she said:
“Tommy, have you euton the pear?” “Yes,
ma’am,” he replied, “but I spit out the seed.”
The Orientals are very trusting to each other.
“Aro you not afraid to go away from your shop
without locking it?” a traveler asked of au Egyp
tian up the river. “Oh, no,” answered the uiau
coolly, “there’s not a Christian within three
miles!”
“Gentlemen oi the jury," said a judge, trying
a prisoner for murder, “they say that tho faot ol
the prisoner’s killing his sweetheart shows that
he was insauo. Merciful powers, gentlemen, if
that bo so, what would they have said if bo had
married her?”
