Atlanta. Aug. 37. SV t.y prothliei to
prove e lively aeoeetloo will,
probability, be aprung nelt{ Tuesday
when tbe Stone Mountain Baptist Ai*
aociatlon meet, at Indian Critic near
Clarks ton. A Question concerning the
orthodoxy of several prominent minis*
ters of the Bapt st denominat’on in
Georgia will, it is expected, be brought
before the oonveniiuu, end the result
_of tbe agitation may be far-reaching
in effect Two of the thoat prominent
Baptist min te.-s of Atlanta are in
volved and it ia even iutimabou that
the Tabernacle Baptist church, pre
sided over by R-v- L G. Broughton,
r '
aud which ia kuovvu over the entire
* South, may *t>e aaparated from other
Baptist churches of this section. Thu
foundation of the whole trouble is a
difference of opinion that has arisen
over the admission into fellowship of
persona who have been baptised, but
not. by authorized Baptist mimfeters
Beoently there has been much discus
sion of this subject owing to the fact
that the Tabernacle Baptist church of
this city has been accepting as mem
bers without jfurther baptism Chris
tians who were bapuzjd by otfnistera
of other denominations
Dying Person Not Emotional,
“I have stood by the bedside of maoy
dying 'people/' says and old physician,
“aad have yet to a** a dying person
shed a tear.* No matter what the grief
of bystanders may be, the stricken
person will show no signs of over*pow<
ering dmotion. I have teen a circle
of agonizad children around a dying
mother—a mother who In health
would have been touched to the quick
by signs, of grief in a child—yet she
repoced as though she had been made
of atone. There la some strange and
and unexplieable psychological obange
which aooompaniea the act of dissolu
tion. It la v i known to all pbysiel<
ans that pain dlsssppesrs as the end
Approaches. And nature seeme
have arranged it so thet mental peace

moments.”

we have decided to appeal to our
friends, trusting thslr love for the
Maker will inspire them to grant us
our wishes. 1

men like Spooner, who think that
