The Lecture Fraud.
Among the frauds which throve and
flourish in the time of plenty, but on
which the panic has laid a heavy hand,
the lecture fraud was the most obstru
sive and preposterous. After a man
has attained a certain pitch of great
ness the gratification of seeing him may
be cheaply purchased by the payment
of fifty cents; but of late the times
have not been prolific of great men, and
in their stead we have had a shower of
very smaller ones poured upon us, who
were under the delusion that the world
owed them two hundred dollars a night
for standing up and going through the
motions of delivering an address.
When we consider that this is nearly
double the amount paid to a popular
preasher for going through with the
same kind of a performance in his pul
pit, the absurdity of the proposition
becomes manifest. In the case of the
gifted birds of song and earnest men,
who kindly left their native land and
their steady pay of four pounds a weak,
to teach us a higher civilization at the
rate of two hundred dollars an hour,
the spectacle was only the more aggra
vating, and it is pleasant to think that
many winter evenings will be unspoiled
by the lecture fraud.— St. Louis Demo

CIRCULATE IT.
NEW ARRANGEMENTS FOR 1874.
(I (I mQinINI.
UmlmiM
ORGAN of Hie BAPTIST DENOMINATION.
SPLENDID PREMIUMS!
Anxious to have The Index diffused through every section—enter every family circle—until the
entire territory of the paper in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, the Carolinas and Tennessee is fully and
satisfactorily occupied, we open the work of the year 1874, with arrangements which we trust will
meet tne approbation of the friends of the paper. The circulation of The Index is short of
die expectations of its friends, and does not justify the heavvxash outlay at present made by the
1 ropnetors in its publication. We, however, intend that the prosecution of the mission shall be con
tinued fully up to our highest ability-making the paper all that the Denomination desires it to be—
ik tiope tha. the effort will be liberally seconded by the intelligent and earnest Baptist people
the country. We not only purpose that the various departments of the paper shall be edited
with increased care and power, but that its columns shall be enriched by able pens from other new
and important centres. The aid, therefore, of Ministers in every part of our field is desired, to
canvass their respective congregations for NEW SUBSCRIBERS.
If the friends of the paper will thus generally respond, the territory can be more quickly and
effectually occupied than by any other means. There are brethren in every community who can
secure with little effort clubs of from ten to one hundred names—no one who cannot get from one
to five. Let the paper ha ve the support of all promptly and that sup
port extended with liberal hands and prayerful hearts—to the end that its circulation may be
materially increased, and enlarged benefit result to every interest of the Denomination. The paper
is needed in our homes, by our pastors, by our missionaries, by our schools. All know this; there
fore the earnest, active co-workers in the Master’s vineyard are asked to co-operate with us in
the dissemination of The Index, with its wholesome, elevating and enlightening Baptist literature.
The attention of all is invited to the appended inducements, which our friends may use as they
desire.
