A THANKSGIVING DISCOURSE,
Preached in the Second Baptist Church, Atlanta.
BY W. T. BBANTLY, D. D.
Text : So that we may boldly say, The Lord
is my Helper. [Hebrews xiii., 6.
There is a sense in which every person,
whatever his moral character, must say,
< The Lord is my Helper.’ Without His
help jou could not have left your beds this
morning ; without His assistance, you could
not have come to this place of prayer; but
for His aid, the red fluid on which life de
pends would cease to circulate through the
veins and arteries of your system. The
foo<| which you eat, the water which slakes
your thirst, the atmosphere which supports
your respiration, are all the gifts of God.
At the close of each day every rational
being.must say, ‘Hither by Thy help I’m
come.’ But it is not in this sense, so gen
eral that every man, be he saint or scoffer,
must make the expression that the apostle
employs in the Scripture before us, his
own. He is now writing to the Hebrew
Christians, and his words must be limited
to those who have the experience and the
faith of these primitive believers. It is
obvious that no one can say ‘ The Lord is
my Helper,’ in any such sense as to afford
him comfort and satisfaction, unless he has
confidence in God.
But the question which I wish to consider
more particularly in this connection,is: Under
what circumstances may a nation, engaged
in such a struggle as that which is now taxing
the energies of this confederacy, say ‘ The
Lord is our Helper’ ?—and say it not doubt
ingly and hesitatingly, but with all the
boldness which the apostle authorized the
Hebrews to employ.
If I ask the politician whether he believes
that the Lord is on our side, he tells me
that he has no doubt of it; and in proof,
points me to the manifold successes which
have attended our arms. But success is
not always to betaken as evidence of the
Divrne endorsement. As God often allows
wicked individuals to prosper in this world,
so He has permitted wicked nations to tri
umph in the wars which they have under
taken. He may use the wicked as the
sword with which He scourges the righteous.
Others, again, infer that we must have the
Divine approval on account of the profound
conviction universally entertained of this
faot. But this is, surely, in tho absence of
other evidence, very insufficient premises
from which to draw such a deduction. In
the individual the wish is father to the
thought; and what is true of the individual
is true of the nation, also. We must,
therefore, have better evidence that God is
propitious to us than the belief of the people,
however oordial and united.
We can not have any
tion of His favor, and we must therefore
inquire whether—from what God has been
pleased to reveal of Himself, and from
what we know of the circumstances of the
country—we have any reason for hoping
that the Lord is our Helper.
I. Before we eansay God is our Helper,
wo must have a righteous cause. We have
to do with a Being of whom it is writtefl,
‘ Righteousness and judgment are the habi
tation of His throne.’ It is idle, it is impi
ous to expect the blessing of a holy God
if our cause bo not righteous. This war
grows out of the persistent efforts of the
abolitionists to destroy the institution of
domestic slavery in the South. Had they
not succeeded in placing their candidate in
office, there would have been no war.—
As l think that our system of bondage, when
administered on those principles prescribed
in R •velation, is contrary neither to right
nor to Scripture, 1 believe that our defence
of the institution is just; and that the result
of the war will secure a better protection
for both master and slave than has been
heretofore enjoyed.
Again : In tills war we are tightii g for
those very principles for which our fathers,
ami the fathers of our enemies, fought on
Hunker's Hill ami Sullivan's Island: the right
of a people to govern themselves. If the
cause for which Washington drew his sword
was a just cause, if the cause for which the
patriots of the Revolution shed their blood
was just, then is ours a just cause.
Prior to the commencement ot the present
hostilities, those politicians in the North who
are now moat clamorous for blood declared
that there was no authority in the constitu
tion of the United States tor holding, by
coercion, States which were determined to
•sam m&immm, amb
break the compact. All Europe, prejudiced
as it is against us, and learning the whole
history of this controversy chiefly through
Northern sources, denounces the incongruity
between the practice and the principles of
those who are waging this cruel war against
us. Thus it is that by the testimony of our
enemies themselves, when not yet carried
away by passion, and by the testimony of
observers whose sympathies are not usually
on our side, our cause is just.
[I. Before we can say the Lord is our
Helper, there must be a devout recognition
of our dependence upon Him. In dealing
with nations as with individuals, the Divine
Being proceeds upon this principle: Them
that, honor me will I honor, and they that
despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
Amidst such forgetfulness of God, amidst
abounding national transgressions, I rejoice
to recognize in the country a general ac
knowledgment of our dependence upon His
almighty arm. Some of our most eminent
generals are men who fear God and keep
His commandments. Our rulers have re
peatedly summoned us to implore His aid-
This sanctuary is thronged now with those
who come here to cry, in view of the vic
tories with which He has recently crowned
our arms, ‘ Bless the Lord, oh our souls ! ’
May we not hope that whilst ‘we are thus
with Him,’ He will graciously consent to
be ‘ with us ’ ?
111. If we would have God to be our
Helper, we must be careful to put away
from us whatever may obstruct the bestow
al of His benefactions. ‘ When a man’s
ways please the Lord, He maketh even his
enemies to beat peace with him.’ What
is true of the person is true of the nation.
If on these days of public prayer we can
honestly inspect our hearts and repent of
everything which we there perceive to be
offensive to the eye of Infinite Purity ; if
we can ascertain and reform the deficiencies
with which we may be chargeable in the
treatment of our children, our servants, our
fellow-beings in every relation, and at the
Cross of Christ can have the pardon for our:
sins, we muy hope that a mersiful God will
be our Helper and Friend.
If God be our Helper, it will-follow :
1. That we have a work to do for our
selves. The idea is that of auxiliary, and
not .sole worker. The husbandman must
say ‘ God is my Helper,’ but he must still
work—must prepare the ground and sow
the seed. Though God' is our Helper in
the work of conversion and sanctification,
we must still strive to enter in at the strait
gate, must still seek if we would find. —
If God is our Helper in this time of nation
al struggle, we are not authorized to inter
mit a single effort. God helped Gideon—
but his motto was, ‘The sword of the Lord
and of Gideon.’ God helped David—but
still the stripling must take the stone from
the brook and use the sling. Though God
be our Helper, it becomes us to use all the
means by which we can hope to achieve
success.
2. If God be our Helper, we have an
Assistant who combines every qualification
which wo need in such a character. Do
we need knowledge in such a person?—
Ho knows the end from the beginning; can
not be surprised by any occurrence. Do
we need, sinful and erring as we are, mercy
in such an Assistant ? —God knows our
frame and remembers that we are but dust.
Is power requisite ?—The name of our
Helper is Omnipotence; with the jaw-bone
of an ass, Ho can use one man to slay
three thousand men; Ho can make the
stars in their course* to fight against His
enemies, or compel the sea to give a safe
escape. With such a Helper, we are
* Surer to prosper than prosperity
CouUt hare assured us.’
3. If God is our Helper, we can not
promise ourselves exemption from those
calamities which are a common lot. God
was the Helper of the man who wrote our
text; but he must nevertheless experience
dungeons, stripes, and shipwrecks. God
helped the Hebrews; but they must wand
er for forty years in the wilderness. lie
helped <ur fathers; but there were seven
years of fighting before the victory was
achieved. Though now He be our Helper,
wc may have many years of trial before we
reach the promised land —many hard-fought
fields before we reach tho Yorktowa of our
conflicts.
But, on this day ot national jubilee, I
would not throw a shadow over your hearts
by any gloomy presage of what may be.— j
Whatever may yet occur, the past, at least,!
is secure—no disaster in the tuture can be
reave us of its renown. No subsequent
defeats can eclipse the splendor of those
achievements which have already immor
talized this struggle. There are Great
Bethel, smd Bull Run, and Manassas, and
Oak Hill, and Lexington, and Leesbarg,
and Belmont, and Shiloh, and Vicksburg,
and Williamsburg, and Seven Hines, and
Richmond—one, two, three, four, five, six.
seven times—and Cedar Creek, and Rap
pahannock, and Manassas again, and Rich
mond in the West; and there they will
remain forever! They are consecrated by
the blood of patriots, and they can never be
S forgotten. For these we come to lift up our
gratitude to the Giver of victories.
* Win, stateful heim, the pa*t we own;
Tlx future, alt lv u* unknown.
* We to Thy guardian care commit.’
THE GRAVE.
Died—ln Richmond, Va., of typhoid fever, on the 9th of
July, 1862, W. T. MITCHELL.
The deceased was a citizen of Taytor county, Ga. In
obedience to his country’s call, he left home in May last, to
join Capt. Wallace’s company, 45th Regiment Georgia Vol
unteers—carrying in his bosom Christian, as well as patri
otic, sentiments. Bidding farewell to paremts, wife and
children, he offered himself a sacrifice for the land of his
birth and choice. He joined his company at Guinea Sta
tion, marched thence to Ashland and Chickahominy—his
noble regiment covering the retreat of General Branch from
Ashland to the latter place. His vigorous body, thus ex
posed to unwholesome miasmas, contracted the fatal mala
dy, and in thirty days his spirit passed into the 1 bouse not
made with hands, eternal in the heavens.’
He exhibited much of the grace of patience in his illness,
no murmur escaping his lips. He familiarized himself with
death, expressed confidence in Christ, and lamented that he
had not discharged his duty by following his Saviour in His
ordinances. His dear wife, his father, and the writer were
with him, to soothe and mollify afllicting pains while far
away from home and its endearments.
Thus passed away the Christian soldier—the parents’
darling son—the wife’s devoted husband—the children’s do
ting father —a brave defender of hiscountry, and a shining
moral light in the community. Let surviving friends neith
er murmur nor repine; for God is too wise to err, too good
to do wrong. Let us bow in humble submission to Heaven’s
mandate, knowing that
‘His own soft hand shall wipe the tears
From every weeping eye;
And pa:ns, and groans, ami griefs, and fears,
And death itself shall die.’

idFell, in defence of his country, before the enemy, in the
late battle at Manassas, on the 30tn of August, 1862, Ser
geant REUBEN WILLIAM PYLES, only son of Lewis Pyles,
of Cnatto iga county, Ga. —aged twenty-seven years.
The subject of this notice was 1 orn in Abbeville District,
South Carolina, and emigrated to Georgia in 1852, where he
remained until 1880. He then returned to his native State,
and engaged in business until Charleston was strongly
threatened by the ruthless enemy, when his patriotic soul
could stand off no longer. He attached himself to Captain
D nald’s company, which joined Moore’s Battalion, and
marched to the scene of action. His health failing him in
1861, he came to Georg a on a sick furlough, spent a few
weeks with his fattier and the writer, and then returned to
his place on the coast. He marched, with his comrades,
to Richmond, before the desperate fight in front of that
place. From thence he followed his commanders, through
blood and carnage, unhurt, until the notabl- day of the 8 th
of August, when he fell at his post, gallantly defending his
country’s rights.
Sergeant P. was an amiable Christian gentleman. He
was converted and brought into the Pleasant Grove Baptist
Church, under the labors of Elder Win. Newton, the writer
and others, in company with fifty-two others, in August,
1852. For eight years he was an exemplary member.
He is gone to the bosom of Jesus; gone from the baftie
field and the roar of cannon, to the peaceful fields of the
heavenly Canaan, and to the sweet music of angels and glo
rified saints —where father, sister and relatives may meet
him, if in Christ they be found.
S. M. PYLES.
Died—ln Danville, Va., on July 7, 1862, Mr. VALENTINE
FLETCHER —aged thirty-three years and twenty-three
days.
The subject of this notice wag born in Pitt'burg, Penn
sylvania, on February 14, 1829. He wag a man of very
I tender feelings, kind in disposition, and ever ready to assist
! in the alleviation of the wants of the distressed and needy.
!He emigrated to Tennessee in 1852. In 1854, he came to
s Snow-hill, Ga., and married Miss E. Addie Chambers, daugh
ter of Eider J. R. Cnambers—with whom h > lived until hs
left, in the commencement of tho present cruel struggle,
with the “ Cobb Mountaineers,” to the seat of war, in the
defence of his country.
Mr. F. was remarkably kind and tender to his compan
ion. He has left a Christian willow to rai.um hor loss ; bnt
thanks to the God of all Grace, she has a solace.
I herewith transmit a port’on of a letter received by s'B
- Fletcher from the army chaplain, who visited her hus
band in hie last illeess ;
“ Dear Madam :—Your husband had every attention du
ring his sickners here. He was visited by me. and often
spoke on the subject of religion. He died etrovg in the
Faith, trusting in the atonement of our Saviour; ami you
may, if faithful, confidently hope to meet him In Ileiven.”
8. M. PYLES.
Died—At his residence, in Heard county, Ga., on the 9th
of August, 1862, Brother T. H. SMITH, in the twenty-sixth
year of his age.
Brother Smith was received into the fellowship of the
Cet.tral Hatcbee Baptist Church In the year 1852 or 1858,
and was ordained Deacon in the year 186(1. From the time
of his connection with tho Church, he maintained the char
acter of an humble, pious and useful member, being always
found in ills place, and ready to do his part.
Beloved brother, farewell. Tho* fallen in the vigor
of manhood; thou hast fallen with thine armor on ; thou
hast fallen, beloved by friends and relatives, and honored
by ail who know thee. .
When the summons came, he was ready, and fell asleep in
Jesus, leaving behind him a heart-stricken wife, two little
fatherless daughters, nn aged mother, several brothers and
sisters, and many friends, to mourn his loss; but consola
tion to all weeping friends, their loss is his eternal gain.

J. ELIOT HAYGOOD.
To rescue the mernnfy of the lovely from oblivion, is ever
a pleasant task. And the chiracter of J. Eliot Haygood.
when we consider the affection and respect he manifested
for hla parents, the love he eutertained for his relatives,
i the amiable morality of his life, and the kind regard he ex
hibited for the feelings of those with whom he came in con
tact is >-uch as to ciiitm our admiration and to deserve a re
-001 and. It requires a character more than ordinarily lovely
to excite the love he excited, and to create the chasm in a
social Wicle that his loss created. And it must have been
a walk of more than ordinary rectitude, and a conversa
tion of extraordinary blamelessneas, that called forth from
his fellow-soldiers the eulogy, to ihose into whose kaeptnv
his languishing body was committed—“that he was a mem
ber of the church,” when such, in truth, wag not the case
As early as eleven, indeed, he gave evidences ot conversion,
but had never real y united with the peop eof God, A let
ter written shortly before his death expresses regret that he
had not joined the church, and Jn such phrases as tndi ate
a real cha; ge of heart. < n his death bed he professed to
be a follower of the Lamb and a soldier of the Cross, and
wished ihat, he had previously followed his inciiuati -ns and
become a member of an earthly church His very last
words were such as a Christian only could utter in sinceri
ty. Addressing his young friend Hendon, he said, “Dear
Press, I am now in a dying state, and I know you are one
of my best friends I want you to abandon your wicked
ness and meet me in heaven. Vou mast remember what l
now say, and be a good boy.”
Evidently his spirit was prepared, by regeneration, to
i soar away to the regions of ete nai bi as
i He was born J.ily 1818, and was named in memory
of tlie eminent and godly Apostle to theludtans, Rev. John
Eliot.
In ISI, when a student of Mercer University, he urgent- j
ly petitioned his father, by mail, to permit him to join the i
ranks of his country’s defenders; and when permission was j
granted, he hastened to j In the Oiarke County Rifle*, now J
just eighteen years of a*;e.
On the 4 h of September, 1861, his company left Georgia,
was received in the 8d Georgia Regiment, I’onamouth.
and participated In the b.ttlea of Chb-kahominy, South
Milis and (he seven days fight around Richmond; and es
peciaily at Malvern Hill, where Kliot narrowly escaped j
death, being, as he ex pres ed it, '• spared by the grace oi i
God.”
In the inarch from Drur>'s B uff to Manassas, he was ts- 1
ken sick, and diefi, of typhoid fevr, at Sa eu. Fauquier i
county, Va., on Sept. 4. 1 r6'i just oue year from the time he
left ids native State. His last hour, were soothed by the!
a;ret kindness of the ia lies of saiera, who were stiuck by ]
his atniab e and uncompUlnlng deponment; and atnonc ;•
his company these were many whose hea, ts clung to him j
with the warmth of true friendship—such as native worth j
only can arouse. They, too, evinced tboir love by deeds of j
kindness.
tiia comrades represent him as a model soidier, ever;
cheerfully obedient ud uncomplaining ; mid ait the !ia U-,
rhips of oimp life. His le-tersto his parent* breithe the'
war me t love and a he .rt softened <>y re ivious prim pies, i
which is the only solace they pos.trss in their deep - ffliction.
Eliot p ss,ssed artistic genius and as early a* five years
of age attracted attention by his stilt In drawing. Very
creditable specimens of his ta ent at pintimr remain; aud
had he lived he might have attained distinct on as an artist
ilts memory deserves to be embalme in the kiude-t -e

to be imitated by ail y-uag men.
