A PROMISE REMEMBERED.
Dear Banner: A long time
ago I promis’d Unde Cate to write
something for you, but other tilings
less agreeable have monopolized my
time till it suddenly occurred to me
that I might sjiare time to express
my thanks, at hast, for your wetk’y
and welcome presence.
I wonder how many of your
readers cut out “I*» this the way,”
and .pasted ’it in their Bible? I
wonder upon how many worn and
.weary hearts its sweet words fell
like dew drops on the drooping
plant? How often I find myself
asking “Is there no easier way ?”
Thorns are indeed crowding my
path, but Christ is pressing them
aside. Clouds of doubt and des
pair often hover over my path, but
the bright gl< am of faith breaks
through them all. Oppressed by
the cares of life, and the neverend
ing toil for daily bread, we feel that
life is a burden more than we can
bear, but the sweet still voice is
heard above the din of earthly strife,
t I
quelling (lie dark storms of “worldly
woe,” and cheering the fainting
hearts of weary ones. “Misfur
tunes,” it is said, “are blessings in
di-guise,” (I believe that is the cor
rect quotation) and I believe it is
true. Circumstances beyond my
control, and which I considered a
misfortune, have thrown me with a
family whose godliness ami Chris
tian qualities have been a source of
unlimited pleasure and benefit.—
One especially, an invalid lady,
seems to impart insensibly a Christ
like spirit’; though not a word may
be spoken of religion, yet we feel
it in her presence as forcibly as if
shti were giving us a sermon on the
subject.
Please accept my tardy thanks
Uncle Cate for the dear Banner.

A new society has been organized
among the Baptists of Texas, the
object of which is to sustain brother
AV. E. Penn, the evangelist, in his
work. It is to be called' the “Penn
Evangelical Society of Texas.”
FROM AV. B. ROBERTSON.
Kimball, Bosqe Co., Texas,
September 1880.
Bro. Williams—Your
in the “Clarion,” of your revival at
old Beaver Ruin church, was a sweet
morsel to my soul—breaking up the
great fountain of ifW sympathies—
filling my soul wi(.h delicious joy,
and causing me to weep tears of
gratitude to our Father,
for visiting Zion agfin. Aly mind
was carried on fancy back to
that country where I spent my boy
hood days—a wild boy 'stricken for
“sin, restless and disconsolate, seek
ing comfort in the intoxications of
the world, but finding they only
fid the serpent that was eating out
the very vitals of his peace. Oh!
what a struggle!
AVhat a conflict! Satan clinging
at the very human soul, with de
moniac desires and infernal deter
mination, while it was struggling to
go to Jesus. But while the strug
gle is great, the victory is glorious;
the triumph joyous and complete
in Christ. How pleasant to dwell
on that victory ! A bright star in
the Christian’s history that never
fads to slud a ray of hope in his
darkest hours.
AVh it precious times I have seen
at Beaver Ruin! How sweet to
my memory, and how I would long
to be there again, where I was re
ceived into the chnrch, and baptized
by Eld. r R. Brown, who was the
Pastor of the church then, but has
long since gone home to rest from
his labors. It was there my sister
and brother, whose remains now
rest on the Brasos river, were bap
tized.
Religiously, we are rather in a
cold state. I’reachers and profess
ors seem to be in earnest, but a kind
of cold, formal manner, that is
wanting in spiritual energy. Hem e,
the church is barren, and Zion
weeps because sons and daughters
are not born to God. Oh, may the
Son of righteousness shine into the
cold regions of our flozen hearts,
and cause the sc ds of spirituality
to vivify and bring fbr:h fruit to
the names, honor and glory of God.
Mother can h has yielded such an
abundant harvest farmers will not
be able to gather their crops.
Politics run high. Even women
in some localities have left their
domestic duties for the political
arena. The Gretnbaek and Radi
cal party will form a combination
in our State, but 11. will lead the
van. AV. B. R.
A Case Unheard Os. —Such
is the case of a backslider who reg
ularly attended the means of grace.
If a convert is habitually at church,
Sabbath school, prayer meeting, and
the family altar, he is sure to stay
converted. He may possibly lose
some of his fi rvor for a time. Bui
his inner heart will still glow. Such
an one will maintain secret prayer.
OEITIIARr;
Died near Canton Ga. on the 26th
of August in the 32d year of her
age. Sister Martin M. Smith. She
was stricken with palpitation cf
the heart, and lived only forty mins
utes aft'T. Though the Son of man
came suddenly she was not unpre
pared to meet him. For she expes
rienced a change of heart about
eight years ago, and up to her death
lived an exemplary christiaa life
The last word that lingered upon her
lips was the name of Jesus. To the
Lords dear people how sweetly and
surely are all bis promises fulfilled,
not only in health and strength, but
in s-ickucss also, and in that last sad
hour -‘when flesh and heart shall
fail.” So sister Smith went to her
rest leaning upon the strong arm
which never fails. She was a mem
ber of New Hightower Baptist
church at the time of her death.
May the loving Saviour comfort and
give bis endless peace to the hearts
of those who weep for her.
‘Tu the heavenly Jerusalem
No more night their souls shall know,
For the dear Lords face shall shine on them
For he loves he loves them so.”

The finest lot of docks ever iu Cumming
at J. F. Duffeys Call and see them;
ITickory Flat, Gil,.\
October, 1880. J
Dear Bro. AVood —I think it is
well to lot the brethren hear from
t!iis part of the field. On the 3d
Sabbath in October the Canton Bap
tist church re-elected Bro. J. A.
McMurry pastor. After a trial for
three years, he was UNANIMOUSLY
chosen for the fourth year. He is it
good, earnest and faithful worker,
and very punctual in attending his I
appointments. Bro. McMurry has j
not accepted the call, bu.t I believe l
he cannot refuse the call of a church
where ho has labored so long and ?o
acceptably, when it is unanimously
extended. Mt. Zion church called
Bro. Elias Allied toserve them next
year. He is ,a good preacher, au«l
it is hoped he will accept the care
of the church.
’ The outlook seems good and wc
are hopeful that much good will be
accompli.-hed.
Yours in Christian love, T. '

SWINGING. • >
Swinging has its dangers, which
should be reasonably guarded against
An item has recently appeared iu tljC
papers speaking,of an English girl fO
years of age bringing on
in other words, inflamation of the
bowels—by incessant swinging, the
movement of the legs and body in
ducing the injury which brought on
death. Only the day before reading
this item we were told of a lady who
was severely afflicted with a spinal
disease induced by being thrown
from a hammock. Both hammocks
and swings should not only be se
curely put up but carefully examined
from time to time by the older heads.
Then it is quite as important that
the frolics of the children in the
swing or hammock are in a measure
superintended by some one having
judgment enough to caution the
young folks against either careless
nes s or excess. —7>r. Footts JifontMi/

SCIENTIFIC SUCCESS.
An American college of physicians oace
offered a reward for any authenticated case
of genuine Diabetes which had been entirely
cured. The offer remained open for several
years, and was then withdrawn. Were it
in force now, it. could instantly be secured
by the proprietors of Warner’s Safe Dillbe
tes Cure, for several remarkable recovdrjps I
have just come to the notice of thepvriV'r.
Diabetes is a most deceitful disease. aucr*i
dom makes itself felt except by. its results.
Any readers who are suffering from ill-health
and don't know the cause should not delay,
as it may be at the cost cf life, which War
ner’s Safe Diabetes Cure is guaranteed to
save. 39-2 t
Toccoj, Sept. 29.—At the elec
tion held for town council in El
berton on the 27th, the question of
“wet” or “dry” was the absorbing
one. After a spirited contest the
“dry” ticket was elected by thirty
one m-'jortiy.
“To leave the education of our
children to be looked after by oth
ers, is to shirk a sacred duty and
renounce our hold upon the future.
This is just what many Methodists
are doing.” Nashville advocate.
We are sorry to say that is what
many Baptists are doing too. —Cen-

So poisoned by breathing the vitiated aU

All know the Kidneys and Liver are the

Fever can, and will, be averted.
That these organs can be ke|H free from
disease, and at all times in condition to well

ter beyond dispute, cavil or argument, and
equally ii is true, that a free use of
Warner’s Safe Kidney and

in connedfedfa with

will actually compel these same organs to

as a cleanser of the blood, and a preventive
