Methodist Advocate.
Atlanta, Ga., June 12, 1878.
Terms : $2 a year, invariably in advance.
BIBHOP HAVEN SAYS:
The Advocate is of more importance
than a hundred churches or a score of
schools, for it can make more schools
and churches, while if it fails, all fail.
SHALL WE ADVANCE ?
I mean, Shall we give the Meth
odist Advocate five thousand sub
scribers? We can do it if we will
make the proper effort. Nothing is
easier. Certainly, Dr. Fuller’s re
marks some time ago on this subject,
indicating the number of subscribers
required from each patronizing con
ference to secure the required num
ber, are reasonable, and no pastor
should be content to allow his charge
to fall below the estimate.
According to the best information
I have, we had last year about 2,500
subscribers. Now if each pastor
will endeavor to double the last
year’s list of subscribers on his
charge, it can be done.
Perhaps there may be a few
charges which have heretofore come
so near up to the requirements of
duty that it might be doubtful about
securing twice the number secured
last year, but to meet this deficiency
there are a great many charges that
should increase their list threefold,
yea, fourfold, and in some instances
tenfold. Only imagine a charge
over two hundred strong with less
than*five subscribers!
Brethren, I know you love the
Church and all its connectional in
terests. The Methodist Advocate is
a great preacher, an energetic stew
ard, a faithful class-leader, a live
Sunday-school superintendent. Then
scatter it all over your charge. It
will increase the working forces of
the Church wonderfully. Try it
and see, brother, and thus counteract
the influence exerted by the namby
pamby periodical literature that is
being scattered over our land. Let
it take the place of the dime novels
that some of the young on your
•charge are reading.
Create a taste for wholesome re
ligious reading among your people.
Let our motto be: “An Advocate in
every family.” We may not attain
to that this year; but we must not
become discouraged. “Borne was
not built in a day.”
J. W. Drokb.
The Methodist Advocate.
I subscribed for the Methodist
-Advocate, April 1, 1878. Since
then I have received it in due time
and in good order. I have read it,
examined it, studied it carefully, and
I am surprised to find it so much
more interesting than I expected.
I am thankful to a preacher for ask
ing me to subscribe for the Advo
cate, for I consider that I am amply
paid for the subscription price, with
the papers I have already received.
There are numbers of persons who
would like to subscribe for a good
religious paper, and would do so, if
they were only asked to. If the
■preachers in charge of every work
■would only make an earnest effort
to increase the number of subscrib
■exs for the Advocate, I verily be
lieve it would be double what it is
now. Let every agent for the Ad
vocate go to work, and not consider
Jus whole work done until he has
'made an earnest effort to place the
Methodist Advocate in the hands of
every family, and help to implant in
the minds of the young and rising
generation, “Methodism in its no
blest form.” W. M.
Ducktown, Tenn.
The East Tennessee Wesleyan Uni
versity graduated a large class at its
recent commencement and conferred
the following degrees: Upon the grad
uates in the Classical department, the
degree of Bachelor of Arts, namely,
S. P. Fowler, J. W. Fraker, 0. R.
Goldman, F. W. Henck, 0. S. Long,
W. H. Perkins, E. H. Vaughn, J. C.
Wright, W. A. Wright (9), and upon
the graduates in the Scientific depart
' ment the degree of Bachelor of Science,
namely, William T. Foute, E. L. Patter
son, A. C. Peters, J. F. Wilson, J. B.
Zeigler (5)-total, 14. H. 0. Moore
one of the best students in the Classical
department, died a few weeks since.
The honorary degree of Master of Arts
was conferred upon Proi. Ketron, of
Arcadia, Tenn., and the honorary de
gree of Doctor of Divinity was con
ferred upon Rev. E. Brown, of Balti
more, Rev. C. W. Cushing, of Cleve
land, Ohio, and Rev. James Mitchell,
of Atlanta, all of whom have well
earned the honors received.
The Western and Atlantic Rail
road now runs three trains a day
•each way, accommodating local and
through travel admirably. Trains
leave Atlanta at 7:00 A.M., 2:15 and
-4>:00 P.M., and arrive at 8:42 a.m.,
12 M., and 10:40 p.m.
Nashville Items.
Rev. Dr. B. Sears, General Agent
of the Peabody Fund, visited the
Central Tennessee College on the
29th of May, and expressad himself
as highly pleased with the buildings,
grounds and surroundings. Rev.
Dr. R. S. Rust, the long-tried friend
of the freedmen, and energetic Cor
responding Secretary of the Freed
men’s Aid Society,who was spending
a day in Nashville, looking after the
interests of the school, was also
present, and had a pleasant inter
view with Dr. Sears, with whom he
renewed the acquaintance of former
years in New England. Dr. Rust
visited Holly Springs, Miss., and
Huntsville, Ala., attending to the
interests of the school under his
care in each place. Temperance
meetings have been held in Nash
ville with some success, but not
enough to close any of the numer
ous saloons. The temperance wave
has not risen very high here yet,
nor will it till more of the ministry
take hold of the work in earnest.
It is with some of them still an
outside issue. Mrs. and Mrs. Lin
coln, of Kentucky, labored here for
several weeks in the Gospel temper
ance work, with but moderate suc
cess. Church matters are quiet.
The warm weather thins the congre
gations.
Next Sunday, 9th inst., the First
Colored Baptist Church is to be
dedicated. The cost has been, lot
and building, about twenty-five
thousand dollars. Rev. C. W. S.
Woods has taken charge of Clark
Chapel, in this city, to supply the
place of Rev. C. S. Smith, who has
returned to the A. M. E. Church,
from which he came to us a little
over two years ago. Brother
Woods has made a very favorable
impression on the people both as
preacher and pastor.
The change in the time of holding
the Conferences will meet with gen
eral favor among the preachers, and
if the statements made in the Con
ference are correct there will be a
large increase in the collections, and
preachers will be paid in full or
nearly so. But who ever heard of a
Conference held at a time that jnst
suited everybody?
A series of teachers’ institutes
for colored teachers will be held in
West and Middle Tennessee, by the
teachers of Fisk University, Nash
ville Institute, and Central Tennes
see College, beginning at Trenton,
June 11,15; Covington, June 18,19 j
Somerville,2l,22,and at other points.
These institutes are under the sanc
tion of the State Superintendent,
but the work is done aB a gratuity,
by the teachers, to the cause of Edu
cation. J. B.
Shaw University.
Examinations and commencement
exercises at Shaw University closed
May 28th. Dr. Bust and Rev. J.
C. Hartzell were present.
Dr. Rust delivered the Baccalau
reate sermon, Sunday afternoon, to
an immense audience, from the text,
“Run, speak to this young man.”
The sermon was requested for pub
lication and the Dr. furnished the
copy, and it will soon be in print.
Rev. J. C. Hartzell preached in
the evening on the first two words
in the Lord’s Prayer, “Our Father.”
It was an able sermon and duly ap
preciated by the vast audience.
The examinations were excellent,
and the orations were well written
and finely delivered. The condi
tion of the University is far .ahead
of what it ever was before. Presi
dent Hooper is an excellent edu
cator and possesses fine executive
abilities. He still remains, and we
trust will for many years, the hon
ored President of Shaw University.
This institution is not surpassed
by any of the schools of the Freed
men’s Aid Society excepting Cen
tral Tennessee College, under the
management of one of the best edu
cators in the Church, Rev. J.
Braden.
* Rev. J. S. Bean, acting Presi
dent of New Orleans University, re
ceived the honorary degree of A. M.
Two fine scholars graduated in a
full classical course and received the
degree of Bachelor of Arts.
Leading citizens publicly assert
that this institution is not surpassed
in the thoroughness of its instruc
tion and excellence of its manage
ment by any in the State. It is an
honor to the Methodist Episcopal
Church and is doing a work which
commands the respect of all our
citizens.
The Freedmen’s Aid Society is de
veloping power and influence in ele
vating the people, and the best men
in the South begin to appreciate it,
and commend the Society. *

Wilmington, Del., May 16, 1878.
Bishop Haven and Dr. Rust spent
two days in Atlanta last week, looking
after the interests of Clark University.
This week they are in Orangeburg, S.C.,
attending the commencement of Claflin
University; we deeply regret our inabil
ity to accompany them. Duties impera
tively demanding attention at the same
time prevented.
We are glad to learn that workmen

The Woman’s Foreign Missionary
Society of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, at the recent meeting of the
Executive Committee in Boston, re
port the amount raised during the
past year to be $68,063; a slight
falling off from the previous year.
Sunday, the 26th ult., was “mis
sionary day” in Cincinnati. Several
ministers from abroad, beside Bishop
Wiley and Missionary Secretaries
Reid and Dashiell, presented the
subject at the different Methodist
Episcopal Churches.
Rev. Phillips Brooks says that a
backwoodsman, on hearing Bishop
Mead, of the Protestant Episcopal
Church,preach a sermon in a frontier
church without a manuscript, said,
“He is the first of them fine fellers
that I have ever seen who could
shoot without a rest.”
Another effort was made on
Sunday afternoon to assassinate Em
peror William in Berlin. While
riding along the Unter Den Linden
two shots were fired at him from a
window,”by the first of which thirty
entered his body, chiefly in his face
and arms. The surgeons extracted
the shot and slugs from the Em
peror’s body. He was in great pain,
but did not lose consciousness at any
time. The ass&sin is Karl Edouard
Nobeling. He confesses his crime,
but obstinately refuses to state bis
motives.
Rev. J. M. Thoburn, D. D., is hav
ing a continuance of the marvelous
work of God which has gone on un

says: “We are well in Calcutta; God
is with us in mercy, truth, and
power. Our work never looked bet
ter than at present. God has opened
our way in Calcutta wonderfully;
there has beeu no backward move for
four years, but steady growth. I
am looking for a day of great power
in India. Would to God that some
consecrated young men would come
out to join our work. It is more
than a marvel to me that so many
men loiter around conference doors,
waiting for work, while all the world
is open to them.”
All the Sabbath-schools of Brook
lyn, N. Y., are organized into the
Brooklyn Sunday-school Union.
Week before last it held its forty

turned to its own church for re
freshments.

FAMILIAR IN EVERY HOUSEHOLD
Dr. R. Y. Pierce, the great “medicine
man” of Buffalo, is running for the of
fice of Senator from that city. He seems
to be the most popular man on the track,
and well he may be, for his name is fa
miliar in every household in the land,
and people will vote for him regardless
of his politics.— Wilkesbarre News.
Correct, as the News always is. The
Doctor was elected by about 3,000 ma
jority.— Buffalo News.
When Dr. Foss and Gov. Cum
back had finished their fraternal
speeches to the Southern Methodist
General Conference, the former
could, “we reckon,” have been
elected a bishop in ten minutes, and
the latter a senator, provided he
would have promised to sustain Pot
ter’s “investigation.” .The town
rang with the two men’s words till
the close of the session.

Business men, both Republican
and Democratic, almost without ex
ception, denounce the Potter investi

that it is paralyzing business, and
introducing distrust and uncertainty
in regard to the future, at a time
when the restoration of confidence
and business prosperity was begin
ning to return.
—Northwestern Advocate.
Hitchcock & Walden ask every
person indebted to them to pay up
a part of the amount immediately.
When we arrived at Atlanta we
found Rev. Dr. J. C. Hartzell, of
the Southwestern, New Orleans,
present, and he was bristling with
“points” to take home and discuss.
That editor and that paper are doing
grand work in the South. No Meth
odist dollars are doing diviner work
than are those which support the
New Orleans and Atlanta papers
Could our General Conference, dele
gate by delegate, look over our
Southern work carefully, there
would not be a moment’s hesitation
in voting full supplies for the cam
paign in the South.

Eutaw, August Bth, and hold a three-days’
session. I hope the brethren will not fail
to take the collections for benevolent pur
poses and report them both at the quar
terly and district conferences. The amount
each pastor reports shall be acknowledged
through the Methodist Advocate.

The most learned physicians and scientific
men of Europe and this country indorse them.

are protected by Letters-Pateut in all the
principal countries of the world. They were
decreed the only Award of Merit for Electric
Appliances at the great World’s Exhibitions

the cure of disease.

symptoms or class of symptoms meet your
diseased condition ? Are you suffering from
ill-health iu any of its many and multifari
ous forms, consequent upon a lingering, nerv
ous, chronic or functional disease? Do you
feel nervous, debilitated, fretful, timid, and
lack the power of will and action ? Are you
subject to loss of memory, have spells of faint
ing, fullness of blood in the head, feel listless,
moping, unfit for business or pleasure, and
subject to fits of melancholy? Are your kid
neys, stomach, or blood, in a disordered con
dition? Do you suffer from rheumatism,
neuralgia or aches and pains? Have you
been indiscreet In early years and find your
self harassed with a multitude of gloomy
symptoms? Are you timid, nervous, ana
forgetful, and your mind continually dwell
ing on the subject? Have you lost confidence
in yourself and energy for business pursuits?

mare, dreams, palpitation of the heart, bash

dizziness in the head, dimness of sight, pim
ples and blotches on the face and back, and
other despondent symptoms? Thousands of
young men, the middie-aged, and even the
old, suffer from nervous and physical debil
ity. Thousands of females, too, are broken
down iu health and spirits from disorders

Is at hand a means of restoration?

THAT BOY:
WHO SHALL HAVE HIM?
By Rev. W. H. Daniels, A. M.
Small 12mo. Cloth. Pp. 434 $1 50.
Some heresies in theology, and some
events in life, particularly in Church and
college life, suffer from sturdy dealt blows
by the author. The author’s style is
strong and beautiful; if his book were not
a religious one it would be a popular one.
Western Methodist, Memphis, Tenn.
Mr. Daniels is rather a dogmatic person,
and can strike a heavy blow, even in a
story. He probably enjoys being castigated
a little for his intense expression; but, on
the whole, we think that even the critics
were in good humor with him before the
story ended. — N. Y. Methodist .
The author sets forth the influence of
false theories of parental
founded upon false views of the govern
ment of God, and the exposures of an
active, intelligent lad during his academic
and collegiate studies. The story is full
of life, and carries a wholesome moral with
its incidents, and leaves a good impression
at the close. — Zion’s Herald, Boston.
The truths that are taught in the book
are so interwoven with the lives of the
characters in which the reader becomes
interested, that they are adopted without
protest.— lnter-Ocean, Chicago, 111.
