What the Sabbath School 3><»es.
The Sabbath School acts, in the first
place, as an auxiliary to parental effort.—
An objection sometimes (even at this day)
made to the Sabbath School is, that it in
terferes with household instruction. If this
were so —if it took the religious instruction
of their children from the parents —if it
occupied the only time the parents could
devote to this object—if it in any way con
travened the proper tuition of the fireside—
then it ought to be dispensed with. For
family religious instruction is a positive or
dinance of God, and woe be to that family
in which, for any reason, it is not attended
to. But it is certain that the Sabbath
School never was designed to interfere with
family instruction, and however plausible
the objection to it on this ground, facts
will nor, sustain it. The truth is, that those
very parents who are most alive to the re
ligious instruction of their children, and
who make the most strenuous efforts to se
cure this, welcome most gladly the Sabbath
School, not as a substitute, but as a worthy
co-worker. The Sabbath School is an ar
rangement that does not weaken proper
home influence, but brings to bear a stimu
lus which oftentimes can not be secured at
home, and adds to the force of appeals in
favor of religion derived from a parent’s
love and authority, all that there is in the
new interest of the child’s welfare created
in the mind of the teacher. The teacher
may do—sometimes has done—the very
thing for which the parent has been pray
ing and laboring for years. lie may, thro’
the Divine blessing, drop into a heart, pre
pared for it through the instrumentality of
a parent, the seed which shall bring forth
the fruits of piety, or give that direction to
the immortal mind which shall carry it on
ward and upward to the. footsteps of the
eternal throne.
And while the Sabbath School docs not
interfere with the instructions given by pa
rents who can impart it, it renders it an
immense benefit to those who can not give
the proper instruction. The opportunities
of some parents were so limited in early
life, and their acquirements are so slender,
or they may he so occupied with getting
their children bread, that they either have
not the knowledge or else not the time ne
cessary to prepare themselves to give their
children the home training they ought to
have. “ How,” says an eloquent writer, “is
the father of a family, who is perhaps pos
sessed of only the humblest capacity, and
whose education was of the meagrest .‘<>rt,
who is obliged t o leave his home for the field,
the factory, or the shop, before his children
are awake, and who returns exhausted with
his labor only when they are too drowsy
to receive instruction, ami the intervals of
wdio.se Sabbaths scarcely suffice to recruit
him for his week’s toil ; how is such a one
to perform properly ami effectually the of
fice of a religious instructor? Or how can
a poor widow, of limited iniclligeiice, who
is obliged to rise every day with the dawn,
ami toil with her needle, or at. the wash tub,
till the night, comes, to prt>eure food ami
elothing ami shelter for her children, give
them line upon line, precept upon precept,
here a lit 11<* and then' a little, until their
minds are imbued with the noble, and the
sanctify ing t iut hs of the Gospel? Such
persons may be as sensible of the impor
tance of religious instruction, ami as anx
ious to train their children for God and for
heaven, as any others, and they max indeed
•set tli£iu an example of patience ami un
complaining submission to their hard lot;
they may pray lor them and take them to
the house of God, and even in their pom
way instruct them on the Sabbath; but af
ter all this, more, much more, is needed.
And just here is where the Sabbath School
’comes in with one of its most, blessed
works, ami does for these parents what they
can not do, and yet what their own welfare,
and that of their families, the church and
the State, require to be done.”
But besides such parents, there are those
who, though professedly pious and well
qualified intellectually for the instruction
of their children, yet make their circum
stances an excuse tor almost, if not wholly,
neglecting this duty. Their sense of' reli
gious obligation is so small, and their world
liness so great, that they will not rightly
attend to this matter, ami unless some
agency does the work it will not be done.
And then again, there is still another
class of parents, larger far than either or
all of those yet mentioned, —those who are
not professedly pious: the irreligious and
the followers of false religions. 'Hie chil
dren of’ such not only do not receive any
sound holm- religious instruction, but thex
are often trained in shame and sin Sab-1
baths such have indeed, but thev are spent ■
in destructive amusements, idleness and i
dissipation. Books they may have, but)
they are the corrupt stull that, teems from ,
an infidel and licentious press. Meeting !

influences of our divine religion shall be
bicathed about them all. Now observation
shows us that the instrumentality which
most readily and etlvctually reaches such
children is the Sabbath School. M inx pa

instrumentality would probably never get

To the Women of Georgia.
Quartermaster Gen’s. Office. )
Atlanta, Ga., 1862. j
The General Assembly of Georgia, un
der the sanction of the Governor, have or
dered a good suit of clothes and a. good
pair of shoes for every 7 destitute Georgian
in the Confederate service. Your Gover
nor has charged me with the duties of col
lecting and forwarding to the field the
clothes and shoes which have been ordered ;
and as socks form an important part in this
outfit, and one which cannot be bought in
our markets, nor had until made, 1 have
determined to appeal to the noble-hearted
women of my State to aid in this great
work, worthy our best energies.
1 desire every woman in Georgia to send
me, at this place, one pair of good strong
cotton socks. This will require but a small
effort on the part of each woman, yet, in
the aggregate, it will amount to a great
work. L< t each one write her name and
county on a slip of paper, and sew it on
the pair of socks donated, so that 1 may
know the names and residence of all who
shall aid in this great and philanthropic en
terprise. Will the Justices of the Peace
iu each Militia District, who are known to
be. generally, public-serving men, interest
themselves in this good work by collecting
all the socks that will be made for our suf
fering soldiers in their respective districts,
and taking them to the Court House of
their-county, and asking the. clerk of the
Superior Court to neatly box them up and
forward them to me at this place ; designa
ting contents, number, and from which
county sent; also, to send, by mail, a list
•>f contributors’ names. Some kind friend
will take them to and forward by railroad,
and I will pay railroad expenses if any
should l>e charged. I have asked for cot
ton socks because all the wool in Georgia
should be made, without delay, into cloth
for coats or pants for our brave boys now
shivering in a cold climate, and periling
their lives iu face of the foe to keep the.
cruel invader from desolating our homes.
Women of' Georgia! 1 shall not appeal
to you in vain. 1 know the noble sacrifices
you have already made, and I well know
that your love to work for the soldiers has
not grown cold.
Read this address to your lovely daugh
ters, whose pure bosoms are now burning
with indignation at the insults offered their
sex by the.worse than savage despots from
the North. Read it to your neighbor, your
slaves even, read it to all, that all may
know that they are earnestly and cordially
invited to co operate in the most benevolent
work.
The mother may make a pair of socks
that will find its way to the cold feet of her
darling boy. The sister may bring the
tear of affection from some fond brother. —
The anxious wife may proxide for the com
fort of her dear husband, and send a thrill
of joy t hrough his soul which words cannot
describe, as he fondly gazes upon her loved
name written upon a messenger of mercy,
winging its heavenly flight to some cold
soldier's relief as he stands upon the out
posts holding the enemy in check. The
tender damsel may reassure her lover, that
her plighted love still burns warm upon the
consecrated altar of her constant heart.—
The Doreas hearted woman (whose “good
works ami alms-deeds” (or the needy and
the stranyer are sufficient stimulus for her
action) may find ample scope for a partial
developement ol her Christian charity.
Even the servant may cause her master in
some distant camp to pronounce a hearty
God-blessing upon her kind remembrance,
and cause him to long to return to see, not
only his dear wife and little ones, but his
constant servants whom he loves so well.
I will remark that the slaves of the South
are as much interested in the final success
of the Confederate States as any class of
people, Tell them that I have seen in the
tre»> States, their colored brethren,'wander- i
ing, homeless, ragged, hungry, and forsa- 1
ken, w ith no kind master to provide for
them, nor no watchful and sympathizing
mistress to make them feel that thex have
a friend in tho dark hour of atlliction and
distress. fhc real truth is that the black
man has no true friend in the North who is
waging this unholy war. Most of those
unfortunate, misguided slaves xvho have
gone to the abolitionists, are now sighing
in that cold frozen region for the plenty,
attentions, ami endearments of their South
ern homes ; but the cruel hearted North
man holds them in unwilling bondage, and
With harder work ami harsher treatment
than they have ever known before. Bit
terly are they racing the day that indu -ed
them to leave the sunny homes of their
bi rt h.
I want thousands of pairs of socks spun
and kn.t by the colored friends ol’ our sol
diers, and I believe I shall get them it then I
mas'ers ami mistresses will but give them I
the opportunity to express their sympathy .
Black men and boys having the chance, will
cheerfully spend their dimes for thread for
their wives and sisters to knit. If nothing
more be needed they will hold Ahe negro’s
candle, the blazing lightxvood torch, to aid
their fellow servant women xvhile working
toi the soldiers in the war. Some negroes
in ix not care tor this noble work ami sit
idly by. while others are busy and thankful
tor the privilege to work for so holy a cause ;
so too, are there traitor xvhite men, xvho
have not only done nothing, but some of
them have gone to the enemy and rendered
their names m'ainous at home and despised
abroad. In Savannah the other day, I ask
ed the negro men on onr defences what
they were about, they said they xvere throw - >
ing up embankments tor our soldiers to
-’and behind and kill Yankees, and if the
\ unkees came while they were there, they
said they wanted to kill one apiece before
. thev left.
i Noble women of Georgia ? max God )
s bless you for what you have already done,
t Many are the offerings of patriotism freely
contributed by you, which have already
passed through my hands on their way to
supply the wants of our brave boysjn the
field, the bravest and best the work' ever
saw. My heart, with gratitude to Gttd, for
such angel women, has often rendered its
tribute of thankfulness, as my eye hasrest
, ed over and again upon the tender testimo
nies of your unconquerable love for our ho
-1 ly, our most sacred cause.
’ ‘ Your work is not yet over; the great
' struggle is still upon us in all its terrific
J fierceness; our dear soldiers are still hold
’ ing back the miserable hordes of abolition
-5 ists who are thirsting for our blood, and
1 anxious to desolate our fair homes. Shall
! we not spend every energy of mind, body,
soul, and strength, to keep strong, cheerful,
pure, willing, and brave, those who are now
ready to breast the storm and teach our
wicked invaders, that to be conquered, we
must be, to a man, exterminated.
Let every man, woman, and child, bond
and free, in the Confederate States, answer
in thunder tones,yes, and resolve to make
this our fair heritage, one funeral pile rath
er than, living, to surrender it up into the
hands of those, who, in fighting us unjustly,
have violated every principle of honorable
warfare and descended far beneath the bru
tality of the untutored savage.
If Justices of the Peace should happen
to be indolent in this work let some true
champion woman assume the pleasing task
and put to blush the man who has no soul
to labor for our suffering troops.
I want socks to come to me (and I be
lieve 1 shall get them) from the njansion
of the Governor down to the humblest cot
tage in the land. I have addressed the wo
men of Georgia more particularly, but
help would be acceptable from all quarters
rhe men and boys, one and all, may here
have a chance to do good. Send in your
socks, each with your name and county
plainly written, as 1 have already suggested,
so that I may transfer it to my book of re
cord, and know hereafter those generous
ones who so nobly and promptly respon
ded to my call. By-and by, when the wars
are over, these love tokens will form some
of our pleasantest recollections, when some
returned noble soldier, with wreaths of un
dying renown decorating his brow, kindly
informs us that his cold, frost bitten, suffer
ing feet were relieved by our timely and
generous contributions.
People of Georgia, 1 beg of you to be in
haste, as winter is now upon us, and 1 want
to have the great joy of telling our soldiers
that all the lingers of Georgia are busily
working for their relief; such cheering news
as I hope to be able to communicate xviil
make them (under God) omnipotent, and
soon enable them to wring from our hateful
foe an honorable peace, as they have already
nobly won the welcome plaudits of an-ad
miring WOrldjfor then <ie- ds ot" unequalled
daring upon many a hard-fought and victo
rious battle field.
Such a people at home, all heartily work
ing for such an army in the field, will pre
sent such a moral and physical aspect to the
eyes of the civilized world as to draw down
upon us the admiration of mankind, and
teach us a lesson not to be misunderstood
—that we have resolved to
1 Strike, till the last armed foe expires ;
Strike, for our altars and onr fires;
Strike, for the green graves of onr sires ,
For God and our own dear land.’

Sister JOSEPHINE ROWLAND was born
in Laurens County, Georgia, on the 39th day of
October, 1830, and was the daughter of Edmund
and Susan Sweeny. She xvas married to Dr. J.
W. Rowland, in Twiggs County, on the 23d of
January, 1818, and removed with him to Ameri
cus in 1850. She was baptized by the writer in
the Summer of 1854, and day of her death
continued a faithful and consistent member of)
the Baptist Church. She was an earnest and i
efficient* Sabbath School teacher, a kind and
affectionate companion, a devoted mother, and
a sincere friend to the poor and needy. Indeed,
few persons have performed all the' varied <lu
ties of life more acceptably than the deceased.—
She died at her husband’s plantation, in Schley
County, on the 14th of December, 185’2, leaving
a husband, three dear little children, and many
. friends, to mourn her loss. Thus, one by one. )
) our friends pass away, but, thank God, our loss, |
in this case, is her eternal gain. May the great ;

■ xviHMi c } era 'S ne( \ has long been impressed
J 2 nnt ‘ ? ? ett ! n S up a work on this sub
ject, not to lie dedicated to any particular Sect
oi Denomination, but a book which will interest
( all, and in which all may share g, part.
While we may be permitted to visit the graves
of loved ones, and read their epitaphs engraven
upon marble and, as it xvere, hold sweet commu
nion with departed spirits— yet, there are many,
very many endearing traits of character, as well
as many things they have said while living,
which, if written in a book, would afford us in-,
calculable pleasure, and stimulate us to imitate
their virtues.
What family is there in this wide scope of
country, who has not lost some fond relative or
kind friend, and who would not delight to see
that precious name thus preserved and handed
down to posterity. To accomplish this impor
tant object, I now make an appeal to all such to
furnish me with sketches of loved ones gone,
from the infant of two years old up to that of
old age, enumerating all expressions particular -
ly used previous to their departure from earth
to Heaven. Especially do I request facts in re
lation to the honored dead xvho have fallen in
battle.
It will require time and labor to accomplish
the object, but when perfected, it will doubtless
be a work of general interest to all those who
love to think of loved ones wlio have “ entered
into that within the vail.”
The author feels greatly' flattered in the fact
that several gentlemen have concurred with him
in the belief that such a work will meet with
a hearty reception by our Southern people, and
have given assurance of their assistance in fur
nishing many interesting facts in relation to
kindred and friends who have fallen; and most
respectful [y do I solicit aid from all quarters,
sent by mail, by which I may be enabled to
proceed with the work, and get it ready for pub
lication at an early day.
As it is a Southern effort, I respectfully re
quest Editors throughout the South to give this
a few insertions, sending a paper containing the
same, and as soon as the work is published, each
one shall receive a copy gratuitously.
