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. Jackson Hill. A Preaperou• Sunday School. Payne’s chapel west side Mission Sunday school is in a very prosperous condition.

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 ling of the council fire. There is much work to be done. i. o. 0. F. Capitol Lodge meets to-night.
