in 1782, eight; iu 1781, nine. Iu 1788
therfe were thirty-three churches amt
about 2,250 members, and .in 1794
there were, flfly-tkreo churches, and
•bout 8,650 members. In tiiat year,
diurchcs were'dismissed which furm
ed the Hepzibah Association in 1795;-'
and .iu 1708 other churches wero
distilled which formed the Sarepta
Association, ho that t lie re were three
Baptist Associations gyA tjsic. with
a membership of about 8.IW0; the en
tire jKipiilaiiqn of the statc.being 162,-
000. It Was itr that year a resolution
was adopted by the Georgia Associa
tion which led (o ,
TO THE FIRST UKNSItAI. CONFERENCE
of Ilia Georgia Baptists, in May, 1801,
to secure unity oi action in evangeli
cal enterprises.
'l'his conference was followed by
others in 1802 aud 1803, ail of which
are designated “the l'eivclton Coufe--
ences." At the meet’ng in 1803 a
•EVERAL COMMITTEE
.of twelve was appointed, to act for
The deueminatien, and to constitute
-‘a bond of union, center of ialelli
grace ami adviiery council of the
elate.” Its continuance was to be
preserved by annual meetings of dole
gates, three from each association in
the state. The objects to be accom
plished by this general committee
were: First Ike encouragement of
itinerant preaching; soroud, a mis
sion among the Indians in the wes
tern part of the slate, and third, tits
increase of unien among all real
Christians. But this committee re
ceived hut scant support from the tie
nomination, aud died a natural death,
or rather expired frent neglect aud
indifierewce about 1811 181$, {fs
only achievement was the establish
ment ef a Baptist academy, at Ml,
Kuou, not very far southwest of Au
gusta, which, after su exislanec of a
few years, ox pared about 1.812. For
the next t> n years the BaptW* of
Georgia were without a general
meeting to concentrate aud uui'e
their roeources, strength awl iohors.
In 181 t) the Georgia Association
dismissed twenty of its churches to
form stilt another association, the
fourth, which was called , the Ocniul
gec. A flftls associntlos had Wen
formed at Savannah, In 1802, called
the Savannah Biver Association, so
that, in the year 1813, there were five
Baptist associations, composed of 15,
755 members.
Although there was no general
bond of union fer denominational
wort, among the Georgia Baptists,
.during the second decade of the cen
tury, there was a steady growth, a
general spirit of itireration and a
.strong feltowship-fcaiiug. But a
t providential train of circumstances
xoon aroused a spirit that demanded
■co-operation. Luther Bioe returned
/row India to tell of his own awl
Adorn ram Judson's conversion to
Baptist vjews; and, traversing the
land from one end to the other, he
* rostral the Baptists everywhere to a
high pi'ch of
MISSIONARY ENT-'CSIASM.
He visited the Savannah Biver As
sociation in 1813, and soon after the
Savannah Society for Foreign Mis
sions sent out a Macedonian call, in
clarion tones, to the Baptists of Geor
gia. The noble old Georgia was the
first to respond, by the organization
of a missionary society at Powelton
in May, 1815. In rapid succession

bah and the Ebeuezer followed suit.
In 1820 a “plan for Indian reform’’
was adopted, and sereral associations,
including the Georgia, united in sup
porting an India* mission in Alabama,
which existed until the reinovalof the
Indians to the weat in 1839.
In 1820, at tlie" instance of jDr.
A|(liet;Shei'Woo4, a resolution was
adoptedhy the Sarepta Association,
which led to the formation of a gen
eral association at Poweltou, in 1322.
Six ypargj afterwards, hi 1828, the
mime was changed to

The aims of the conyontiqai were
to promote union and co-op-
eration to iprni and sucourage plans
’for promoting experimental a-U
practical religion, and to educate
young nun for the ministry; and by
no means, BMut manner, to .* srn
the churches. There were Sfibrts
nude, however, to promote uuifor
wity or sentiment and discipline, this
Wtt soon discovered to be not only
impracticable but impossible. Jesse
Mhecor,{ the Georgia Association,

Association, and fornitietoon years in
succession wai elected president of
the body. s< " f
In 1384 there Ware 10 Baptist asso
oiations io Georgia, 264 churches and
oyer 18,000 members. Previous to
that tiiho the state of religion in the
State was at * low ebb; but afterwards
a much better stile of feeling began
to prevail. The repffesculed stale
bowevetv.did not extend farther west
than the Ocmnlgcc.and none (or very
tew) of our churches lay to the wsst
wardef Alacou, as the country was
not opened up to civilization. In
1827 a glorious revival, which begun
in Katonton, spread all over the state
and lasted for two or three years,
at least 30,000 uufthig with the de
nomination a* the result.
To the credit of the Georgia Asso
ciation, it should be said that for
years she was the enfy asaociation
connected with tha coiiventien, and
almost single-handed she maintained
its existence and held the deiiomina

But the state of roligon in th* Bap
tist churches between 1830 aud 1836
was deplorable, owing to dissensions
and divisions between the missionary
and tlio anti-missionary Baptists,
Mercer Institute existed six years;
then a collegiate charter was applied
fot ami obtained from the Legislative
aud the instiution rose to the dignity
aft university.
That was in 1839. A theological
department was established) and Dr.
Adiol Sherwood became its first pro
fessor. Excellent agents were put
in the field and a respectable endow
ment was soon raised; but by far the
largest proportion cante from the
Georgia Association. Jesse Mercer,
after whom the university is named,
was the most liberal giver, his dona
tions, in all, ainouatiug to about #70,-

ious paper. In eoitsequcucc, it increas
ed in numbers, in efjjcicn cy, and in
pious co-operetion. There were in

vast brotherhood, mighty iu numbers
and in the main harmonious. Its to
tal number in the state now, includ
ing both whites and blacks, is 250,-
000 in roEitd numbers, but about 85,-
CBOonly, in thirty-nine association*
are constituents of the convention,
•t the 122,000 whit# Baptist* in the
state. From first to last the grand
old Georgia Association ha* been
thoroughly identified with all the
progressive movement* ef the Geor
gia Baptists, being virtually their
standard bearer and leader in evei y
good word and work, aud now, at iU
approaching annual meeting at Wash
ington, Ga., in October, 1884, onebun
ilred year* from th* date ef its for
mation, it has concluded to held
SPECIAL MEMORIAL SERVICES,
in honor of that occasion, and ha# in
vited the other Baptist associations
of the state to participate by messen
ger* appointed. In view of these
facts, and as "a common thanksgiv
ing to Almighty God for his blessings
vouchsafcd-through all these .years,”
An editorial of M. B. Wharton, D. D.,
in the Christian Index, of Atlanta, on
the 31 l of May last, suggested that
“we make 1884 a memorial year for
Mercer Universily and raise one hun
dred thousand dollars for tipe further
endowment and equipment of that
institution which originated with
the spirit that formed and fostered
the Georgia Association.”
JEpr fifty years this institution of
.l^|8 !
ana forty-four years Mercer Univer
sity—has been educating and sending
forttvuian who have adorned the
pulpft, the bench, the bar, the hails of
Onyrees and the gubernatorial chair
of our state. The preyeut occupant of
oor Executive Mansion is a graduate
of Mercer, and his aged father was
for halt adozen years, a fishhfni and
laborious tsacher hi the institute, half
s century ago.
This endowment of Mercer Uuiver
sity was, by the exigencies of our late
calamitous war, considerably di
minished, and it wae thought a re
moval from Peufield would prove
institution tea home within her city
limits, !he invitation was accepted,
sod Mercer University stands among
us' to-day, the prida ot Georgia Bap
tists. And wlisn tha proposition was
made to a'vsil ourselves of this 'me
morial year and, by a combined gen
eral movement, increase the endow
ment of the university, by a grand
centennial gift of 1100,000, the great
Baptist heart of Georgia was thrilled
with a most enthusiastic acquies
cence. The proposition was. most
cordially adopted. Fifty thousand
dollars have already been pledged,
and it is confidently hoped that the
round one hundred thousand dollars
will be raised. For its share iti this
good work the noble old Georgia, as
ever leading in the van, has underta
ken te raise teu thousand dollars.

THE tvnucjt AT qOSnMN, ALA.
(Prom the C.os* Plain* (Als.,) Post-.)
About th-ee and one-half miles
north of Cross Plains lies a beautiful
scope of laud known as Goshen Val
lpy;a riuh agricultural region, once
inhabited bf a thrifty, well to-do peo
ple— honest, pious and hospitable.
There years ago the fathers builded
‘their hcitises, set up their altars, ©ret
ted their barnt, cleared their lands,
niifl in time roared their children,
living the while in peace and harmony
with caclt other, serving their God
aud loving their follow-tncn. No
where in ail this land did the sun
shine upon nor the soft bree-.es of
heaven fan the brows of a more hap
py and coatciited people than those of
Goshen Valley, until that dark day—
Tuesday, February 19, 1884—dawned
upon them, leaving at its close the
pall of death and dire desolation.
Where stood tha comfortable home*
o£ those good people, only the de*
bris remains lo mark the gpot. A
terrible storm had swept over the
Goshen Valley, dealing death aud de
struction a'l along its path. The lo
cal physicians were ail summoned,
and in a few moments a large party
started to the scene of the disaster.
The first evidence of the storm Itiat
met our vision was the residence of
: A - 8- Johnson. The roof was blown
off, the veranda torn away, the chira
' aeys demolished aqd the sash shat*
the windows. Across the
road, west, only the floor was left to
show where had stood tho homo of
Mr. A. S. Johnson, Jr. Farther up
the road, to tho right "(cast) was a
portion of the floor of the school
house, where Mr. A. S. Johnson, >fr.,
was n teaching his school of about
thirl v pupils when the storm came.
and across the road,
we saw the summit ef tho liill, less
than a, .(iiarter of a mile an ay, where
we weio told the targe,substantial two
-stery J.woiliiig of Mr. W. L, John
son hid been. It was utterly, de
molished. Upon the side ot the hill,
sastpf W. L. Johnson's, Mr Sloau
Johnson’s house had been completely
blowfHiWßy. Going ou a hundred

from which iiiy two story house of
Mrs. Li N. Johnson had been blown,,

ly one stone was left upou another.
It would be difficult to find a piece ef
timber, from that house and say what
part sf Up building it formed. A
few yards fttrthcr on, wesj ef the
road, tas a part of the chimney and
foundation of Mr. W. L. Barker’s
house., "frest of that, a short dis-
tance, had stood tlm residence of Mr.
Boss Stewart—there was another te-
Ital wrick. As far as we could see in
| anydiiV'ction tho earth was thickly
i covered pieces of timber, frag
ments of furniture,'bedding and cloth
iug. AH the outbuildings and fences
were swept away. Besides (he hous

Jesse Evans, John Evans, Jesso Ai
ken and Mrs. Oliver wore cutireiy de
stroyed. Mr. D. F. Addorholt’s
dwelling was partially, blown away,
anti Mr, John Stewart's house was
parlia fy unroofed, and many other
dwellings were damaged.
Although we were on the ground
(at Goshen proper) soon after the
storm saw the dead aud many of the
weuniiod, walked ovef the wreck
strewn ground,and saw ail there was
to see, wo do not essay to describe
the scene as it was; (hat was a task
too difficult for our feoblo pen. It
cannot be desetlbed in such a man
