Ministers, now is the time to be getting up dubs for the Banner. 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. Mrs. G. 11. P. Chattanooga, Tenn. .... -•> —— 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.” A F’iienp.

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/ Health. 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- tral Baptist. NOTICE.
