The Church's Rights and Person
al Liberty.
From Baptist Bulletin,
TTT Where , does , the , right . , of , the individual .....
church member reach its lawful limit? Pre
cisely where the right of the individual citi
zen reaches its lawful limit in regard to the
State—that is, until it interferes with the
owy line between, but it is always discerni¬
ble to the law-abiding soul.
In the church there are questions, like
"What harm is there in this amusement?”
in answering which the individual will on
that particular point must yield and be sunk
in the will of the church. The church jj. iS
a right to expect this. The majority must
determine all disputed questions. For ex
ample, in the Covington church, as it is in
many others, the sentiment is overwhelming
ly opposed to its members engaging in the
modern dance. Now to persist in dancing
is to defy one’s church, which is conduct un¬
becoming a Christian or church member. So,
whether dancing is wrong or not, certainly
defiance of the church is—“If he neglect to
hear the church let him be as a heathen and
a publican”—Matt. 18:19.
The best way to answer such questions is
to submit to the will of the church. Any¬
thing else brings confusion.
Mr. Broadus illustrated the marvellous
unity of Baptists, in spite of their lack of
organic union, by a herd of wild horses.
The herd scampers over the plain, biting one
another and kicking one another and getting
out of line but if you notice they are all g>
ing in the same direction.
The majority will do to trust. It is gen¬
erally safer than one’s own opinion about
his conduct.
Take the same principle and apply it to
contributing of our means for the support of
the church. The relation is like that of son
and mother. There may be no law to com
pel a worthless son to support his mother,
but a dutiful son will do it without law. He
is under a higher law of filial love.
Many churches have organized so as to
require each member to contribute some¬
thing out of what God gives to support the
mother church.
Has the church no right .to do this? A
question may be raised as to whether it has
a right to assess certain amounts, but it
would seem fair enough to require some¬ how
thing and let the individual decide
much, which he could do by contributing
anything from a few pennies to a vast sum,
according to his own conscience and his own
ability. that the church had
It would almost seem
no right to neglect this important instruc¬
tion to its members. Each child should be
taught its duty in giving to God’s cause.
The church has no right to indulge its mem
bers in selfishness, which bears no burdens
and shares no joys. Atlanta,
The First Baptist church, of
will not grant a letter of fellowship to a
member who is in arrears with his church,
unless such a member go before the church
with a lawful explanation satisfactory to
them.
The lodges require its members to be
* ‘clear of the books’ ’ before they will grant
them “demits."
There was a revolt a few years ago against
having a money basis of representation in
our Baptist conventions; but it came from
unworthy, stingy sources, a kind pf a wail
from defeated wrong-doers. when all
We have fallen upon a time
other values are expressed in money, Is re
ligion the single exception? The head of the
family is not the sole contributor. Each
member of the family should feel the priv
ilege, too, of giving to the cause. It is a
day of individualism. The church must ed¬
ucate the individual aright. with
The churches have to put up many
inconveniences and annoyances from the
outside, but it need not have its peace broken
by those from within. The tamily may
have to bear much from the neighbor’s
children, and such forbearance is a virtue 1
but the same forbearance with the children
in the home would amount to sinful indul
gence for which Eli was so terribly pun
ished.
To defy a church is, therefore, in our
opinion, one of the worst forms of miscon
duct of which the individual may be guilty,
and to ignoxe it is for the church, an act ot
sinful indulgence.

Newton County School Census.
. -
At the last meeting of the Stats
Board of Education, it • deter- ,
was
mined « that « the . school » . census re
quired by law should be taken
throughout the State duriug the
month of April.
As the Board of Education of
this county will appoint enumera¬
tors for each district at the next
regular meeting, Monday, April 6,
it is perhaps not amiss to call at¬
tention of the public to the law
prescribing requirements, etc.
“The different County or C.ty
Boards shall employ one or more
competent, reliable persons to take
an enumeration of all children be
tween six and eighteen years of
age, in their respective jurisdic¬
tions, and the persons so employed
shall GO FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE,
making a thorough canvass of the
territory assigned them, taking the
number of children between the
ages of six and eighteen years and
distinguishing between the sexes
and raceB -
“The persons thus employed
shall be known as enumerators of
the school ceusus, and shall take
and report any additional statistics
requited by the State School Com
m.ssioner. They shall receive as
compensation a per diem not to
exceed two dollars.”
It is very importont that this
work be done accurately and care¬
fully, as ihe apportionment of
school funds to each county is
based upon the proportion which
the school population of each coun¬
ty bears to the school population
of the entire State. The County'
Board devoted practically the en¬
tire session recently to routine |
work as checking up books, etc.
rhe most important action taken
was the adoption of a special reg
ulation providing that January,
February and Match of this year
be averaged together in deteimin.
ing what proportion of regular sal
ary each teacher shall receive. For
instance, a first grade teacher nn
der the revised scale of salaries, is
paid $45.00 per month, This,
however, on basis ut an average
attendance for each month of not
less than 55. Say attendance of a
school employing a first grade
teacher averaged only 50 during
the month of January, 55 during
February, and 30 for March. Tak¬
ing the average of each mouth sep¬
arately, teacher would be entit ed
for month ot January to only 20-
25 of $45.00. For February full
salary; March regular salary. Un¬
der the special regulation, taking
together the^ three months, would
give an average of 25, and hence
teacher would receive regular sal
ary.
This regulation was adopted to
meet the “measles situation,“Jand
euables several of the smaller
schools of the county whose atten¬
dance has been irregulai by reason
of measles, to make the required
average.
