TH3 EVENING CAPITOL: ATLANTA. BA- THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1886
A COLORED BAPTIZING*
One of the ReaulUof (he Subterrean
Disturbance**
Learned men may spring tbe : r new Tangled
theories upon an innocent and ignorant public
as to the cause of tbe recent quake, and we may
read column after column in tbe da ly papers as
to tbe effect it has exerted upon tbe peop'e, but
I wilt relate the great effect it has shown upon
tbe colored population. Revival meetings bare
been in progress for more than a month at sev
eral ot the churches in tbe c’Ly, but tbe hearts
of the dusay s’nners bad become hardened in
tbeir bosoms and they heeded not the cry of Ibe
preacher to “Flee the wrath to come.” Night
after night they occupied tbeir accustomed
places in tbe church, but refused a!! overtures
of grace and mercy. The earth, as if in answer
to tbe prayer of the preacher, “0 Lord, come
now,” began to rock and then followed a mighty
commotion in the building. D’d I say commo
tion? Yes, even worse. It was confusion
worse confounded. Each vied with b>s neigh
bor as to who would first reach terra firm a, or
rather 13rra quaking.
There was one darkey who carried the sash
and frame with him as be sprang through the
window. I questioned another darkey about
this Co-day and asked if it was not a joke.
“No, sir,” he very emphatically replied; “bit’s
a God’s irufe.”
“Who did tbe jumping,” I then inquired.
“Boss, we’s got him spotted, but we ainter
callin’ no names, tie’s a great big yaller nig
ger, weighin’ ’bout a bund’ed an’eighty pouns.”
The next night a'ter the earthquake mourn
ers flocked to the altar, and the result of last
week’s meetings was an addition of twelve
members to the church.
They were baptized Sunday.
How shall 1 describe the scene? It was truly
a compound of ibe sublime and the ridiculous.
A tiny little rivulet trickling between two hills
furnished the waler that tilled the Ellie bapti
mat hint, a square box sunk into tbe bed of the
stream, and a little over knee deep in water.
Around the I.tile pool and on the neighboring
hills fully one thousand blacks bad gathered
and perhaps a ball dozen whites to witness the
ceremony.
They are coming. Listen to the weird wild
melody of the good old hymn, “Jesus, my all, to
heaven has gone.” A long procession starts
I Firm the church, headed by the preacher,
arrayed in a laded calico Mother Hubbard tied
around bis waist w<lh a string. Around him
are tbe deacons, and just behind are the candi
dates for baptism, ten women and two men. The
deacons are carried away with their gong, and
the good sisters are just running over with hap
piness. The utillness of tlie Sabbath air vibra
ted with the weird notes from tbe tbroa s of
these music loving people. A beautiful Jersey
cow confined in a pasture near at hand did not
seem to understand this sort of business, and
with tail high in air rushed frantically around
the enclosure, ever and anon giving vent to her
astonishment in prolonged bellows.
“On Ju'dan’s stormy banks I stand” floated
across the bills in waves of melody.
A prayer was next offered up, broken
bv such exclamations as “Yes, Ma rater,”
“Lord, hear!” “Dal’s right!” “Ugh-hugb!”
The accent in this last exclamation being on tbe
last syllable. The pronunciation of tbe “u” was
like the sound ot “o” in noon and drawn ouf
and raised to a higher key in the last syllable.
The first baptized wasa middled aged woman,
and she was so overcome that a good brother
gently raised her in his arms and bore her to a
house prepared for their reception. Every one
behaved very quietly until four had passed be
neath tbe waves. A young girl was the next
candidate and her mother, a fat chunky little
woman, drew near to throw the shawl around
the shoulders of her child. But as soon as the
waters covered her, the mother dropped the
shawl, threw both bands into the air, gave a
piercing shriek, upset several sisters in her mad
haste and rushed pell-mell upon her daughter
like a thousand of bricks. ThAg’rl was thrown
down and (lie mother jumped astraddle of the
form of her darling, hugged her tightly around
tbe neck and filled her ears with tbe most pene
trating screams. Aller several attempts they
were finally separated, and proceeded towards
the hack, which was safely reached.
Here came the turn of a middle-aged woman
whose conversion bad been caused by a dream
she bad. She thought, she bad gone to hell and
to use her words, “De ole debel Ink an’sot de
hnun’s on me.” She thought it was high time
to repent, with the earthquakes coming every
day or so and she so mean that the devil
wouldn’t have her.
“Dais right, my brudder, you’se in de rite
rode now,” she shouted back at a man who was
being led into the water by tbe preacher.
A piercing scream here draws every eye to
the top of the hill whence it proceeded. The
little squatty sister is happy again.* She
throws her arms about in a frantic manner and
a brother who had doubtless
felt the powers of a woman’s
scratches tried to catch her,but he was very care
ful not tn approach two near the swinging arms.
The shoutor started on a full run toward tbe
pool, but see! another more active sister gives
chase and catches her. There is a brief strug
gle, a flying of hats and dowu they go, the little
squatty one on the bottom. For a moment a
streaked glare illumines the ground as they roll
over and over. It is for a moment only, as two
men come up and forcibly pick up tbe happy
sister and replace her it* the hack by the side of
her dripping and drooping daughter. The bene
diction is pronounced and soon the hillside is
cleared of its late occupants.

The lime for tbe assembling of the Great
Council of tbe United States in great sun coun
cil is fast approaching, and within a few suns
the smouldeiing brand will be fanned into a
blaze and its light be shed over all the order.
What ibat light will be is, we think, good news
to our brethren, that tbe order is still advanc
ing and that the ouitookis good for a prnper
ous coming great sun. This, we believe,
will be the case in ibe several reservations
where Great Councils exist, but where the res
ervations are the immediate control of
the Great Council tbe condition oi the Order
and the outlook for the future can only be learn
ed when the reports of the Great Clrefs have
been submitted. We fear, however, that tbe in
crease in the number of Tribes and membership
in such parts of our country under tbe control
of the Great Council of the United
Slates has not been very large, not as large in
fact as was hoped for when the last Great Coun
cil fire was quenched. The Grder under Stale
Great Councils has done well, and in some
Stales remarkably so. Keep the good work
moving, brothers, and the membership of the
Order ban easily climb up to 100,000.
The Comanches will sound the war whoop to
night. Let all tbe braves assemble at the kind
