—Alexander the III. Czar of Russia, is Ijing dangerously ill, and he may perbape be dead before thia paper reachea our readers. His death will be grMtly felt in Europe, and may be the occaaion of igniting the long expected war-fires upon the continent. The Czar himself, it Is said, has a hor-ror of war and has exercised a re-straining influence both upon Oer-many and upon t ^ c e to keep them from flTing at each other'a throats. We shall tremble for the peace of Europe when he is gone. Though at the head of th) most despotic gov-ernment in civilized lands, he has made a wiae and humane ruler, and is said to be greatly loved by his sub jects. Certoin it is that there have not been the outbreaks of Nihilism during hie reign which characterized that of hie father.

—Last week they had quite a mob in Ohio. A negro had committed rape, and inatead of being hanged tor it, aa he ehonld have been, he re-ceived only twenty years In the peni-tentiary. Incensed at so light a sen tence for so grave a crime, the people decided to take the law into their own hands. A mob attacked the jail, but was repulsed with several deaths. The miliUa of the State was called into requisition to help quell the mob, and Gov. McKinley can-celled engogementa to apeak in Lou isville and Naahville in order to be near the acene of trouble. There are two leseona to be drawn from the incident. 1. Mobe are not confined to the South. Tiie aame provocation which calla them forth in the South will call them forth in the North. 2. If, however, the authoriUea resist moba aa they did in Ohio and aa they did some years ago in Birmingham, they can generally withstand them. An exeoeption to thia rule occurred herein NaahviUe, where despite the ivsiatanoe of tiie ofBoera and the death of aonie of ita members, the mob over-powered the authoritiee and captured and hanged the niminal. It may be thought that it ia oselesa to take the life of innocent citizsna in defendbg the guUty wretch, but re-member that the offioera are^ not placed there to defend the man or hia otime, but the law; and the m i ^ -ty of tha law ia far mote Uian the Uvea of any nnmber of dtiaens, b*-caoaa tha Ufa of av«y dtiien de-penda upon the power of the hiw to protect him.

—The following ia taken from the Olobe JDamoorol of St. Louie:

"Tha Bev. Dr. Stevwia haa recent-ly pabliafaad an Intewrtliig book on the "Sooroas of the OooMtution of the Unitad Statee," hi which he peata tha atatamant commonly tnade

that the Roman Catholics of Mary-land were the first people in this coun-try to eetablish in their commonwMlth the principle of religious toleration. Dr. Lewis O. Janea, of Brooklyn, points out that this statement, al-though constantly repeated, is an his-torical error. Dr. Janee shows, first, that the HaryUind edict did not grant full religious toleration, limiting ita pHvilegee to thoae Christiana who ac-cepted the doctrine of the Trinity, and excluding all non-Christians of whatever name; and aecondly. that the honor of accepting the full doc-trine of religious toleration belongs by tight to Roger Williams, the found-er of what is now called Rhode Island. The limited edict of toleration was adopted in Maryland in 1619, but in 1644 Williams bad obtained a charter for the "Providence Plantationa" which bound the inhabitants to sub-mit themselves to all orders for the public good only in "civil things." This charter expressly affirms the

Srinctple of full religious toleraUon. loger Williams atora ahnoet alone

in the opinion that Papist^ Turka and Jewe should not be interfered with in their enjoyment of " aoul lib-erty " or forced to obeerve any wor ahip which did not aatisfy thdr own conaciencee. To him bekmga tha splendid honor of being the first man in the worid's history to organizs a commonwealth which recognizsd the righteousnees of eeparating religion from the control of civU authority. That principle has been so univeisal-ly adopted that it is hard for ua to put ourselves, even in imagination, back into a period when it was not ac ceptedaa a matter of course.

TENNESSEE Baptist Convention.

The Pastors' Conferenoe. The Baptist Pastors' Conference of

Tennessee met at 10:90 o'clock Tnee-day, October 16th, in the Edgefield Baptist Church. The meeting was called to order by Bev. I. P. Trotter of Biownaville, who asked Bro. Ma^ tin Ball to conduct devotional exet^ cises. Bio. BaU read the 116th 'salm and led in prayer. "Oome ;hou Fount" was sung. Dr. W. G. nman add Rev. A. U. Boone were

appointad to collect the ballot for the election of Chiurman 'and Secietary.

D. Jeffriea of Knoxville was chos-en Chairman and I. N. Strother of NaahviUe Secretary.

About thirty or forty members were present, among whom ate Dn. Sav-age, W. G. Inman, A. J. Holt, Breth-ren R. S. Flendng, P. I. Lipeey, A. U. Boone, I. P. Trotter, N. W. P.

in ««« ^ r who made free government a p ^ biUty on the American continent."

Roger WiUiams, you remember, was a Baptiat, and it was only the Baptist idea to which he was giving expree eion in advocating religious Uberty Besidea, while he was the first man in Ametcia to advocate th^t principle, he was not, we beUeve, the first man in the world'e history todo so by agoot deal. The Baptiste had contended for it over hi Europe centuriee before that, and indeed have conleuJed for it aU down the agee. BteiJea, waa there not thia difference bblween the principle aa enunciated by Lord Bal-timore and that enunciated by Roger WUliama—was not the first simpl; teligioua toleration, whUe the eecond waa reUgious liberty t That* • great dUference between toleration and Uberty. Toleration impUea that yott have no right to wonhip God aa you chooee, except aa one may give it to you. Bat U he haa the author-ity to give you that right, he haa the authority to taka it away. That ia the CathoUcidaa, But the Baptiat idea is not toleration but Uber^. Hebe-Uevea that ao one, haa the authority ^Mther to give to him or tb taka away f r om U m tha right to wotaUp God ao-ondhig tothedietateeof hiaconad-•ooe. That right ia a God-gtvan one.

Bacon, N. -R. Sanborn and otheia rromaaferent parte of th^'lSta^

Bro. Jeflfriee made a few well chos-en remarks upon taking the chair.

Dr. H. W. Tribble spoke of the subject. "The Devotional Elements in the Pastor's Life." He caUed at-tention to three elements of a paator'a devoUona: (1) mediUUon; (2) read-ing-we are to read the Bible and de-votional books, such aa Dr. Phelp'e StUl Hours and The Life of Adon jtam Judson; (8) prayer-Jacob be came a prince with God in prayer. After prayer Moaee' face was Ughted up with divine povrer. Jesus w u a man of much prayer. He apent whole nighta alone in prayer with hia Father. In Gethsemane he prayed, after which the angela came and miniateredtohim. Prayer is the real power that holda ua in our plaoee. The world ia to be led to God, not by argument, but by the power of an in-ner life. JeeuaUughtthatwearetd enter into the cloeet of piayer and there commune often with our Fa-ther. ^ ^

ExceUent talka were made by Brethren Lofton, Innikn, Watera, Lipeey and Jeffriee.

were anggeeted by theae biethran aa good and wholeeome reading.

Bev. M. D. Jeffriea preeentad tha aubjsct of " SancUfication." ^ aaid the doctrine of aancUfication ia taught in tha Word of God, but aome people have given it a meanhig not taught hitheSoripturee. Sanctification and hoUneea are worda meanhig tha wuoto tUng in the New Testament Ona phaae of the meaning of aanotification ia devoted; another, aecret; atiU an-other la purity.

In 2 Peter Ui. 18 we are exhorted to "grow u grace." Bro. Jeffriea haa written a eplendid tract on thia aub-jecU Every one ehould buy it and readit. «Price.5 centa.

Dr. W . H . Whitoitt of the Theolog-ical Seminary waa called upon to ad-dreaa the Convention in behalf of the Studenta" F u n d . Dr. Whitaitt waa at hia bast, and del ighted the Conven tion with hia wit, pathoa and learning H e aaked to introduce Bro. B . B .

Dr. Whitaitt proceeded to aecure a ooUec tion in caah and pledgee to aid y o u n g miniaters w h o are attending the Semi n a i y . More than 200 y o u n g men ate a t i w d i n g the Seminary, and each year h e haa t o raiae about $10,000 to aid theee y o u n g brethrra. Dr . W h i t d t t was proud of the Tennessee atu denta, one of whom ia an asaiatan piofeasor. n i e r e are nine Tsnneaaee atudenta already matriculated and othera are expected.

T h e report on Co-operation was re-curred to and much intereat waa shown in the subject. E a c h pastor certainly fe l t that he would u r g e hia church to contribute regularly t o each of the seven objects foetered by the denomination.

T h e Convention went in a body t o visit the Orphana' Home. T h r o u g h the foreeight and energy of Bro. T . T . Thompson free transportation waa

We boast that w e have the whole truth. L e t ua prove ourselvee worthy of it b y carry ing it to thoae who need it moat. W e need 500 mis sionariea in Tennessee.

Bro. L o f t o n said the pastors were largely t o blame for the apathy of the people on the queation of missions.

D r Owen spoke briefly o f his work and o the fr iendly relations which he sus-tains with Southern Baptiste. H e said that the Bapt is te of Tennessee need two revivala—a revival of educa tion and a revival of liberality.

Dr. J . M . Froat read the report u p OD the Sunday-achool Board of the Southern Baptiat Convention. T h e Board publishea Sunday-school liter atura for the Baptiate of the South and guarda it f r o m doctrinal errors A s a buaineM enterprise the Board has been a phenomenal success from the first. As t h e Board Is owned b y the Convention, all profite above ex-penses g o to t h e Convention. T h e Board undertekea t o cultivate the missionary spirit in t h e children, a n d the literature haa missionary informa-tion in every isaue.

T h e hope of Southern Baptiste Ilea in the children. Thoae w h o have never been teught to give in youth will not g ive in old age. T h e minda of the children are crystellizlng around some one idea, such aa wealth or pleasure. B u t p u t this idea in their minds, " S a v i n g men for Jesus," and let them crystelllzs around t h a t T h a t is what this literature proposee to do. T h e idea of the Sunday-school Board was born of the Lord. I t was put here to unify the Southern Bap-1 iste around the idea of saving the children for Christ.

2. The work on the Chineee lan-guage that hae been done ia a great work. At timee the iBiasionarj can-not eipreee the emotions of his heart berauee of the porerty of the Chineee language. How poor the language that knows nothing of the the name of OodI Suoh were the Chineee years ago; but the Christians hare so improved the Chineee langu age that now Ood's love can be told them with much better effect. Good reatons exists in the mind of God for not giving greater scope in China to the gospel. In his own good time He will accomplish, through human in-strumentalities, his own purposes in China.

8. Christian missions have intro-duced Christian manic into the Quneee language. Tho Chineee could not at one time furoi«h such music as is soulful,but now th-y can sing "How Finn a FoundsUoa" with great joy and helpfulness. They are nnging the Chineee into God's Kingdom.

4; His work done in the past has better piepaied the young mission-ariss'way. The men who have been there for forty years have prepared the way for thoee who have been then for the past few yaan and a n now going. Now hear something of the sowing then. Thmr Bible Societiee hava sent Golporteis then to distri-bute Biblee. Then a n now many who through this agem? have gotten mudi information of the Bible. They a n reading this Book much and God will after awhile pour out His Spirit and they will beintelligently conver^ ed to God. Thousands of nligious tracts an distrinbted and the mis-sionary greatly wyxjn constontly mix ingwiththe multitude. The medical missionary is doing a gnat work in h s i ^ g the bcdy, while God opens the hsathen heart to the healing Spirit

6. Hie school work in China is a great work. Chinese teaching doee not draw out the mind, but the sys-tem dwarfs it. They need Christian teachen to draw out the mind of the young Chinese. The Chinese sys-tem of education ia a system of imi tation, and we hope to teach them to imitate the Lord Jeeus Chriat.

6. The reaping work ia highly grat ifying. Many Chineee a n runnhig to the Lotd Jeaua Chriat The Em peror recently wrote out a proclama-tion in which he sfdd, "Theee mia-sionariee a n good men; let them abne." Fifty thousand souls have been gathered to Christ A iouriM^ work op the Chineee is ^ transfor-mation to tmthfulneee. Their mer ohante tdl liee to eell; but recently one was found who had but one price on his gooda, and after b ^ tested said, " We a n Christiana and oan'l tsU liss; weJiave but one price."

Bro.WiUingham spoke about the disobedienoe of Christiana ia filing to aend the goepel to the nationa. He apoke of how God had opened the doon of the nationa for the hmt-aide of the oroaa, bat calM attentiim to the tardinaea with whkdi we an entering theee open doors. He be-

Colorado Gleanings.

Only by experience can you know the enjoyment of spending a fail sea-son in sach a climate as we have along the slopes of the Rockies and in the valleys sheltered between the seretal ranges.

But our Baptist Churches in Colo rado, many of them, have been en-joying some experienoee as far abore these blsesings of climate as are the loftiest peaks abore the plains that gradually find the level of the Mis-s'smppi river. We refer to the reviv-als—"old-fashioned" they are called by some—which have been progress-ing this summer and fall, by means of which large numbers of Ood's sons have been revived, have been brought back to a renewed allegiance to their Lord and Master and to his church; and many of the unsavsd have conse-qosntly become converted. A few brief notes of some of the meetings:

Aspen.—Pastor Perry nearly missed attendance upon the Toronto Conven-tion because of the many young con-verts whom he would not leave until he could provide a suitable temporary shepherd. Evangelist C. H. Stuhl, known u the "hoy preacher," had been with them in July. The house would not hold those who flocked to listen to his preaching of the gospel. The gospel messages {Zeroed the hearts and souls were saved. About Sept. 1st Evangelist Graves went to assist thism, and anoUier such season as the first rssulted in the saving of other predous souls. Over 60 were baptized, many of them being young people. Pastor Ferry is very buqr f e s ^ g the young converts, being persuaded that If t h ^ are, as lambs, fed upon the "nUlk of the Word/ t h ^ will become sheep who will f e ^ upon the " strung meat"

Colorado City.—During August the "boypreaohn" assisted Pastor Will-iamson. They gathered the members •nd^bsganathome." The roll was lavised—with pn^ers and tsars—the membmhip awaksmsd and revived; then UM people were brought In and tlMie was a rich harvest of souls. This ohordi is ditaatsd is are some otlisfi in this State, having oonrider-

able numbers of neighbors who in their former homes were members of various denominations or churches, and as their respective denomination has no local church with which they may become identified, they attend services at the Baptist Church; they become prized as neighbors, friends and worshippers. But their numbers have been greater than the member-ship of the church, and because ot friendship and co-worship many of the Baptist fold had been led to for-get that ever their forefathers had had great "struggles for distinctive principlee," and were "almost per-suaded " to adopt the so>oaUed' Open communion." But this season of re-viving and the " shoversof blessings" have brought them back into the tracks of their Lord and Master. We pray that era long Ood may, by the power of his Spirit, awaken and thus revive other of our churches in this State.

Holyoke.—Pastor Price, assisted by our State missionary, Bev. Qecrge P. Wright, has been greatly biassed and has baptized a number. This is one of the etations on the plains where it is not easy to gather in an audience, frequently miles intervene between the homes.

Highlands.—This town a d j o i n s North Denver, is well situated, and one of Denver'e most beautiful sub-urbs. The Bethany church suffered much by the business depression of last year; members moved away; oth-ers wen unable to secure steady em-ployment, and the pastor, Dr. Jamee Waters, left them in the fall. In the spring a young minister, Rev. W. E. Orton, was secured to supply a few mont^ that the church might mus-ter its strength and ascertain whet it could do. At the annual meeting held the last of September a unani-mous vote was given to call Bro. Or-ton to become putor,time unlimited. Almost the first thing given attentiop last spring was the church roll, and namee for which no owners could lie found were "dropped," and such as were known to be walking disorderly wen visited and thoee who refused to renew their allegiance to the Lord and Master and to his church were ex-pelled. Then a new start was mada In July it was decided to have the evangelist Rev. Stuhl to help us, so when the "boy preacher" arrived the middle of Septemlier he found most of the members were revived and had been praying and preparing for the meetings. From the first meeting the power of the Holy Spirit h/u pervaded them; the gospel has been preached nightly, in simplici^ and power, the Holy Spirit has convicted many, and over thMy have said they will accept the Savior. A nutnber have been re-odved for baptism, nins of whom have been baptizeid. There has not been aught that might be called "exoite-ment," but the pe(vie saem serions and ready to listen to the gospel; we never saw people mora aa^y ap-proached in a meeting or afterwards. Bev.

Capitol HiU.-On October 7th this church was recognizsd by a duly called coundl; sermon by Dr. Kerr B. Tupper. The pastor is llev. Charles W. Williams, formerly of St. Martins, N. B.; their present membership is forty-three. The church is well lo-cated in the heart of the beet residence district of the city.

Calvary.—A call has been extended to Rev. Robert D. Graham, of Boston; his acceptance thereof will depend upon atate of health and benefit de-rived at this latitude: he is supplying for a time.

First.—The report of the clerk at the annual meeting held last week showed that the net gain in member ship was sixty-two; twslve of the jun-ior Christian Endeavorars had been baptized and two of the Chinese schol-ars; total baptisms were sixty-seven The Home Bible School has fifteen o£Bcen. thirty-one teachers, 405 schol-ars enrolled. There hss just been con-summated a new plan whereby all the women's societiee of the church have b««n consolidated into one organiza tion, known as "The Church Auxili-ary," with Mrs. Tupper as President. Mias Emma H. Moffatt, a consecrated worker from Chicago, haii been en-gaged as the missionary for the church and school. " D E N V E B . "

P. S.—In response to one of the queries in the issue of Oct. 4tb, will say: Yes, I read the Young People's Leader, subscribed for it when first it was propsoed, and much like the tone and quality 6i its contents. WouM also like to express apprsciation of the article in the same issue, "Baptism," by Geo. A. Lofton, D.D., and wish some such article might be placed in the hands of each of our young con-verts. The editorial conceminge van-gftlists speaks my own convictions and sentiments precisely. Just now we have an Evangelist working with our church, qnd if his preaching and la-bors an not in the power and demon-stration of the Holy Spirit, then we are the worst deluded set of sane peo-ple ever found.

unds for State Missions was pledged. The next meeting will be held with

the Dover Furnace Church, on Elk Creek, at New Hope school house, 'our miles below Cumberland City, beginning Wednesday before the sec-nd Sunday in October, 18%. Thia

church was moved to Elk Creek some time since, and is making atrenuous efforta to build a house of worship, which will be known as Alexander's Chapel. We expect a large attend-ance of ministen from Cumberland and . Western District Associations, and especially Brethren Holt and

'hompson. and others " who are in authority." Their presence would in-spire our weak churchee by letting

le people in this country know that thsre are some Baptists in Tennessee —that we are not such a feeble folk af^er all. B. F. STAMPS. *

The Dover Furnace Association

This Association met with Pleasan Hill Church, Trigg County, Ky., Oct. 12th and 15th. Bro. H. S. Morgan o Blood, Ey., was elected Moderator, and Bro. E, C. Spioeland of Linton Ky., Clerk. Pleasant HiU is theonly Kentucky church in the Association There were 75 baptisms reported from six churches-Crookett's Creei, 89 Hickory Grove, 18; Dover Furnace, 9 Ruahing Creek, 8; NeviUa' Creek, Liberty, 1. There were twelve bap tisms at a reosnt meeting at Pleasant Hill, but ware not report^.

T ^ Assodation leoommended that each church appoint an annual mem ber of the ExecuUva Committee. Said member shall tidM oollaotions, as the ohiuoh may dirsct, for State Mia aiona, etc., and report to the BzeoU' tiva Oomndttee at each fifUi Sunday meatipig.

It wai unanimously voted that we recommend Bev. P. J. Hsnry to tlie State Board for appointment as mia-donaty to worit within our bounds, and a hearty oo-opmtion in t a i i ^

The good work is still progrenaiDg n theee parts. About one month ago

was called to the care of the Flat Woods Church. Since that time we lave received nine into the fellowship

of the church, seven by baptism, one >y letter and one stands approved for

baptism. Sunday was a glorioua day with us. In the morning I preached

missionary sermon and secured pledgee and money amounting to 11.50. In the evening we gathered

at the water'a edge to attend to the ordinance of baptism. There, while the evening shades stole on, four were buried with Christ in iwptism. It was a solemn and impressive scene. Many gave vent to their feelings by prais-ng God. This is one of our weak

churchee, but it bids fair to become one of the working onee. It has a goodSundayachool and praysr-meet-ng. The young converts take part

conducting the prayer-meeting. They give promise of much useful-ness in-Christ's cause.

The work at Salem is still prosper-Dg. I go there on the fourth Sun-

day. This is our missionary day and we hope the results will be encour-aging. The peopleliave not been ed-ucated here to pay missionary money, but they are taking hold of the work in a business way and the results will be telling later on. God be praised for the blessings he haa given us, and when he<omea may he find an abun-dant harvisl,here.

The West Kentucky Association.

This body met with Spring Hill church, Hickman County, Kentucky, on Wednesday, Ost. lOtb,' and was called to order by the former Mod-erator. The reading of the latten and invitation to visitors oooupisd the forenoon. Elder W. H. Williams. was elected Moderator, T. 0. Mahan Clerk, and Frank Brooks Treasurer. The crowds were large and the re-pents from the letters good.

Missionary interests lecdvad grsat aUention, aa nearly one whole day waa eonaumad in the discusdon. It fiaaUy dedded on what ia called the gospel misdon plan aa to tlidr for-eign work, but agreed to foattf thdr other mission intersata. Dr.Waidsr. W. 8. Bohey and Dr. Don Singleton made atrong speeches on the old Board plan. Ben M. Boftard, W. D. NowUn, T. Bouse and othera stood in favor of the Orawfoid or gospel plan. The spirit of aU the diaotudons was

good. There waa prsMhing all over tiie country at night by Brethren McGee, Bogard, W. D. and J. M. Nowiin, Dr. Chandler and probably others.

Spring Hill showed henMlf amply able and willing to give us bountiful dinners on the ground and provide us with good homee at night. So I can say the West Kentucky is a good Assooiation and is doing a good work. May the Lord bless them.

" Perseverance."

Thanks to G. M. S. for what he concedes as t-ueof my sketch on Per-eeverance. The author (whose name is Lofton) didn't have to " go out o the way," however," to introduce the Goivinistio interpretation of dection;" (or election is the solid rook upon which perseverance stands. Furthsr, it will take aome onfi better acquaint-ed with the subject than G. M. S. to demonatrate, in this, my " faUl blun-der." which he dogmatically asaumes Whether there is anything in "na ture," or " analogy," or not, there is in grace to prove the insepanble re-lation of.theee two doctrines. The Scriptures irrefragibly base "uncon-ditional perseverance" (as G. M. S. rightly calla it) upon the same " cove-nant and decree" of unconditional election. We are alike " saved " and "kept"bygrace, through faith; but we are neither saved nor kept on ac-cmmt of faith. Hence, the saving and the keeping are alike and insep-arably grounded in the same elective purpoee of grace.

1. Christ aaye: "AU that the Fa-ther giveth me shall come to me (that is, by fsith). * * And this is the Father's will* * thatof all which he hath given me I should lose noth-ing." (Jno. vi. 37-89).

2. Paul says: " All things work to-gether for good to them who love God—to them who are the called ac-cording to his pttrpote." Why! " For (becauss) whom he did fore-know, he abo did'predestinate to be conformed to (be image of his Son, that he might bathe firat bom among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called; and whom ha called, them he also justified; and whom he justified, them he also glorified "—that is, ho called, joatified and glorified them accoirding to his original "purpose," by which he foreknew and predesti-nated the elect to "be conformed to the inuge of his Son," and for whom "allthings" should "work together for good" in their perseverance. Based upon this "purpose" Paul goes on to .condude that " nothing shaU be able to separate ua from the love of God in Christ Jssus;" and in the midst of Ua great argument he boldly asserts the sovereignty of Go( SB the sole baaia of an uneonditiona election involving an uneonditiona

' persevaranoe, when he exdaima in de-fense of the elect: "Who shaU lay anything to the charge of God'a alsMf It ia Gfbd thatjnstifieth; who ia he thai eondamnstht I t ia Chriti that died." (Read Bom. vU. 29

Christ and Paul agvse. Those "given" to Christ by the Father "ahall come" to him; and the "aheep" are aecuie in the handao Ohriat, baeauae the Father " t faw" them to him. (Jno. z. -29). Thoae thuB " givao," aocoiding to Paul, ale

"the called according to God'a pur-poee " - t he "jusUfied" and "glori-ted " according to foreknowledge and oreordination—to be conformed to

the image of Christ—for whom all things work together for good—whom nothing can aeparate from the love of God in Chriat-and against whom the Arminian has no right to bring chargee, or condemnation, for being unconditiondly chosen and kept by the grace of God. Hence, election and perseverance are unconditional and inseparable und^r the same " covenant and decree " of grace, and the one doctrine absolutely impliee the other. The Scriptures absolutely know nothing of a conditional elec-tion or " perseverance." G. M. S. is vainly trying to hold to a Calvinistic "perseverance," based upon the Ar-minian theory of salvation—trying to pluck the fruit from the Calvinistic tree, while he is hdplossly kicking at the tree I

diacuss, on logical and theologicd Unee; and I have the legiUmaU right, aa all other writers, to use Strong, Boyce, Hovey, Dagg, Fuller and oth-er anthon in theology toaubetanti-ateBaptiatpodtion. IdefyG.M.S. and every other critic to ehow where-n I huve varied from a aingle Article

of Faith, or from our standard theolo-gy, or from the Bible, in le interpre-Ution of Missionary Baptist doctrines and peculiarities. I can show—and have shown—that he rejects the Mis-sionary Baptist Article of Fdth on "Election," aa formulated in all our Confesdons, aa defined by our theolo-gy. and aa set forth in the Scriptures; and I am willing to appeal the case, aa a matter of opinion, to our Semi-nary, which is a school of sound Bap-tist theology, and not a school of Baptist notions and heresiee.

G E O . A . LOFTON.

P.S.—I will attend to George Abner in my next G. A. L.

He is most illogical and unfortun-ate in liis marriage illustration of Mary Stuart and Billy Smith. Of course, no human law can decree them to marry; but no'human law can keep them married, as G. M. S. assumes. Married couples often "fall from grace "—become divorced—un-der the very law which marriee them. Not so under God's "covenant and decree" of grace, which hold that all he " hath given " to the Bridegroom "shall come" to him; and when they so " come "they are kept married by the same predeetinating compact which unitea them. God neither saves nor keepe by law—but by grace and saving and keeping grace haa no analogy in law, or nature. In Chri% tianity God effeds his purpose of I [race by impulsion, not compulsion and gradous obedience, unlike legal subjection, never fails. The natural and legal theory fdied in Adam and Sve—and in the Jewish dispensation.

The marriage of Mary and BiUy moa aptly iUustretes the "perseverance" theory of G. M. S., based upon the Arminian scheme of "conditions election " -semi legalism - the resul of which is apostasy; and it provss conclusively that G. M. S. doee no understand salvation by grace as sst forth by Paul.

I auppose by " foundation quota-lions," wUch G. M. S. says should be made from Scripture, he alludes to my definitive atatementa quoted from Strong and Boyce at the head of my sketch on " Perseverance." He does not reflect on Boyce, but suggssts that "Strong" may not be "•onnd'' —and he seems " incUnsd to think so, from the use I make of himi he knew what he was talking about, inatead of being "indined to think, he would know that Strong was a "aound " Baptiat, a scholar, logidan, philosopher and theologian of the highsat order-and the mostmodwate Caldnist among our atandard au-thoiB on theology. It is G. M. S. that is not "soundf and while "mak ing corrections," he had better oon^ himaelf-eapedaUy dnce he ia at the bead of our Southwestam Baptist Univerdty and a teacher of theology

—Our fifth Sunday meeting of the Beech River Association convened

th the Mt. Gilead Church, aa an-nounced. While theattendance from the churohee was small, the interset was great from the bei^nning. The meeting waa largely attended by the membership of the church. No col-ection waa taken aa aome of the brethren were opposed to high pres-sure collections, as they termed it, est it would interfere with systsmat-c giving at home. We will eee at the next meeting how well the plan suc-ceeded. Then ara two things alwaya n order, and that ia, prayer and col-ecUon; and I think where aa many as two or three meet to worahip God they make a mistake if they don't al-low them the privilege of worahipping God in thia way. The person who would allow a thing ot thia aort to in terfere with hia giving at home ^ not give much at home. A rerival waa carried on at a school house near by at night during the meeting, and aa Uie result Pastor Nunery baptized eight or ten on Sunday at the cloae

of the meeting. J . 3 - WUkenoa, our champion of temperance, go(ia hia work well, and aa a raault about 180 signed ths pledge during the, meeting. The next meeting wUl con-vene with Lexington.

Pastor John-son met me at the depot and oonduct-ed me to the churoh for 11 o'clock, and then we met a few of the fdth-ful ones. The meeting laated for fourteen daye and nights. There waa a gain of seven memben to the churoh. The churoh wss much revived and the faithful pastor very much encour-aged, and he has a right to be, for the outlook for the churoh and paator is very encouraging. Bro. Johnaoii ia very much endeared to hia people, and ia doing a fdthful work for God.

. It was agreed in the CoDTention last week to appoint the 8rd Sunday in November, or, if that does not suit, some other Sunday in that month, as BArnsT AND BBFLCCTOB day. Tbe pastors present all agreed to present the claims of the paper to their peo-ple on that day. We hope also that other pastors in the State will do so.

SPVRQEOtrs SERMONS

We have jost had published a a volume of select sermons by Chas. H. SpurgeoQ, neatly bound in cloth. The volume is called tbe "Twelve Greatest Sermons.'* It includes his great aermons on Bap-tiimal Begeneration and on Chil-dren brought to Christ and not to the Font, besides ten others al-most equally great from different standpoints, but not so well known. This volume of sermons was pub-lished expressly'for our own use and cannot be secured elsewhere. We gave away as premiums hundreds of copies of the Life of Spurgeon and we thought that our subacriben would like to get a vol-ume of his best sermons! Of course you want a copy. Every layman will find these sermons heli^ul and stimnlating, and every pastor ought by all means to have them. How may ytm get them? The process is simfde. L Send fifty cents to the BAPTIST AND BE-FLECTOB and we will send yon a copy ot the book postage paid. 2. Or, if you do not care to pay that much for it send ns a new subscriber to the BAPTIST AND BE-NCTOR and 92.16 and well send yon a copy. Let the new snb-soriber pay the tiOO imd all that

the book costs you will be fifteen cent*. 3. If you and the new sub-scriber both want a copy of the book, send us 82.80 and we will send yon two copies, one for you and one for him, together with the paper for him. 4. If you do not care to take the trouble to secure a new snbecriber, and if you aire paid up to date or will pay up to date and renew for another year, sending us $2.15, we will send you a copy of the book. Let us hear from you soon, pleasa The sup-ply of books is limited. You will never have another opportunity'to secure a volume of sermons by this prince of preachers BO cheap as now. Do not neglect i t SOME UNANSWERED QUES-

TIONS ANSWERED. A long, long time ago, in the

BAPTIST AND REKLECTON of Jan . 2o, 1891, we put the following qaestions to the Gospel Advocate, they being suggested by a remark it had just made.

Ws should like to aak the Oospel Advocate a few questions, which we should be glad to have it answer in a plain, straightforward way without any dodging. Tousay: "Tbechurch of Ood includes all Christians." Who are ChrisUansf What does it take to make ChriatiansT Is baptism ono of the requIrementsT What is bap-tismf Is spriokling baptism? Is pouring y Have any been baptized except those who bars been immerssdt Then, if none faav4 been baptized ex-cept those who have been immersed, if baptism is necessary to make Chris-tians, the church of Ood includes only those who have been immeraed, does it noti Well, would yon invite to tbe Lord's table one who has not been baptized, and who consequently is not a Christian and is not included in the church of Oodt

A^n , would you fellowship, as be-longing to the church of God, those who do not obey tbe teachings of Cbristt Do you think it is obeying tbe teachings of Christ to have a popet To have bishops? To prac-tice infsnt bspUsm? To practice

?>rinkling or pouring for baptism? 0 tesch the doctrine of uncondition-

al election or of the final persever-ance of the saints? Do not nearly all professed Christians, however, hold to one or the other of these practices and beliefs? But if they are disobeying the teachings of Christ in doing so, ttey are not included in the church of Ood, are they? No one who interprets the Bible differ-ently from you and so disobns, as you believe, tbe teachings of Christ, can be a member of the church of Ood from your standpoint, can he?

Then there are vary few who are included in the church of Ood, are there not? Who are included in the chutcb of Ood? Tou? Who else? Bro. Lipsoombf Who else? Bro. Hsidingf Who else? Elder Blindis? Who else? "A few mote?" Aran't you glad thers an a few of you left? Ton ate not a " party " or a " facUon" or a "seat" or a "denomination," though, are you? Ton belong to the "chui^ of Ood/' don't youf In fact, yon and a few others are the cbuioh of God, are yon not? But we pause for a reply.

In its issue of March lst» the Qoapel 4-dvocaie copied these qnestions and proceeded to an-swer them. After consuming a page and a half of its valuable space, however, it had got no f u -ther than the third qnestion. The sum of its answer to the fint iSliee qnestions was simply that baptism ii one of the requirements which ittakeitomakeaOhiirtiBn. We

have waited and waited and waited for it to answer the other ques-tions, but so far our waiting has been in vain. As it has now been about eight months, however, since theanawers were given to the first questions, we must reluctantly con-clude that the Advocate has de-clined to attempt any answers to the others, or means to leave ns to infer its answers to them from its answers to the first three.

Very weU, then, if that is the best we can get, we suppose we shall have to take thai Let us see then what its answers to the others would be in the light of its answers to these, and for the most part as logical as deductions from them.

We repeat the questions with these answers lillud in:

You say: "The church of God includes all Christians." Who are Christians? Those who have be-lieved, repented, confessed and been baptized. What does it take to make Christians? Faith, re-pentance, confession and baptism. Is baptism one of the require-ments? Yes, of course. What is baptism? Immersion of the body in water. Is sprinkling baptism? No. Is pouring? No. Have any been baptized except those who have been immersed? No. Then, if none have been baptized except those who have been immersed, if baptism is necessary to make Christians, the church of God in-cludes only those who have been immersed, does it not? Yes. Well, would yon invite to the Lord's table one who has not been bap-tized, and who consequently is not a Christian and is not included in the church of God? No.

Again, would yon fellowship, as belonging to the church of God, those who do not obey tbe teach-ings of Christ? No. Do yon think it is obeying the teachings of Christ to have a pope? No. To have biehops? No. To prac-tice infant baptism? No. To practice sprinkling or pouring for baptism? No. To teach the doc-trine of nnconditional election or of the final perseverance of the saints? No.' Do not nearly all professed Christians, however, hold to one or the other of these prac-tices and beliefs? Yes. Bnt if t h ^ are disobeying the teachings of Christ in doing so, they are not included in the church of God, are they? Na No one who inter-prets the Bible differently from yon and so disobeys, as yon be-lieve, the teachings of Christ, can be a member of the chiiroh of God from your standpoint, can he? He cannot.

Then there are very few who are inclnded in the chnrch of God, u e there not? Very few. Who are included in the chtkrch of Ood? Ton? Yes. Who else? Bro. liipsoomb? Yea. Who«lM? 3 z a Harding? Tea. Who else? Bl. der Brindle? Yes. Who else? A few more? A few morei. Aren't yon glad there u e ft f ^ of

you left? We are thai Yon an not a " party " or a " faction " or a "sect" or a "denominatum," though, are you? No, indeed. You belong to the "church (rf God," don't you? We do. In fact, you and a few others are the church of God, are you not? We are.

Does the Advocate accept then answers? They are logical and necessary from its standpoint. Bnt if it rejects them, what a&< swers will it give to the qnestions? We panse again for reply.

THE CONVENTION.

It was certainly a fine meeting. Everything about it was delight-ful—at least nearly everything, The weather was perfect, the at-tendance large, tbe interest great, the speaking fine, and the work accomplished very considerable. Taking it all together it was, we think, by far the best Convention we have ever had in Tennessee, We know that it is customary to make this remark about evety Convention. But this OI\|B really was such.

On Friday the Convention reached its high water marL TUe flood of oratory and of interest was greateet on that day until at night, in tbe missionary mass meeting, it seemed to carry every-thing before it, as Bro. Bryan so eloquently and impressively told about the euconragements to the work in China. Seldom have we seen a more affecting scene than when the large number of people extended to the missionaries the light hand of brotherly love and of farewell at the close of this ser-vice. As Dr. Frost, we believe it was, remarked, it was a pity the Convention coiUd not close then. Certainly it was a pity that it had to hold such a d^ ion as that of Saturday morning, with the dread-ful snarl, the tangle and jangle and wrangle into which the Con-vention worked itself over the question of adopting the Orphans' Home now or waiting a year. ~ Bat fortunately, under the mollifying influence of a good dinner, every one seemed to come back in the afternoon in agood hnmor, and tbe tangle of the morning jaststraight-ened itself out At the closing session that afternoon everything was as sweet and as placid as a May morning after a storm tbe night previous, and every one left with a good taste in his month.

There was one thing especially' settled by the Convention, and that was that the Snnday-I^hool and Colportage Board haa come* to stay. So inspiring waa the re-port ot Secretary Quuenberry, to brilliant had been his anccess that some who had been oppos^ to the creation or the cdni^nanoe of the Board now declared themselves its firm friends, and after debathig the matter pro and eon tot over two honra andhearing all the argn-ments on both sides the Oonven-tion voted by a large majority to

—We were glad to see the cheerful face of Dr. T. T. E^ton, editor of the Wetilem Recorder, in the ConvenUon. His bright speeches always add in-terest to a meeting of the kind and make him a welcome visitor. He is an especial favorite in Tennessee, his old home.

—One of the most enjoyable speech-es made before the Convention was by Kev. M. Venn, colored, formerly Superintendent of Missions id the State, now pastor in Chattanooga. Vann is an orator ol high order, and white people as well as colored like to listen to him.

—It was quite a pleasure to see the Young South editor, Mrs. Laura Day-ton Eakin, at ths Convention. She seemed to enjoy it very thoroughly herself. We are sure that she mi^e a fine impression upon every one with whom she met. She is as gracious in manner 'as she is graceful with the pen.

Chapteb XII. A BEAR HUa.

(ContlBued.1 The pabble in the streamlet scant, H«th torned the bed of manv a river:

The dewdrop on the baby plant Hatiiwar^ the giant oak forever." Among tbe books left the chil-

dren by Dr. Peck was one entitled The Birthday Book. It was in this Yictor'a lister had fonnd his birthday vene, but ahe did not tell him ahe fonnd it there.

Sometime after Victor found it there himself. He wondered at the coincidence of the verae with the one his sister gave him, and also with his mother's expressed wish. From that day his "life verse," as he called it, seemed a living monitor in his heart

He had been living in a state of di^y discord with his brother and the negro boys.

At all their sallies he wonld swell with rage, and bnt for the nnmbm against him he wonld have f ought them.

He was afraid to tell his troubles to his father. His mother rebuked the boys to Uttle purpose when he told her, and besides, she told him he was too qaick.tempered, too sensitivei He must not run with the bqys if he could not control his temper and take their slights and answer fun with fun. Victor's veise confirmed his mother's ad-vice. He laid to himself :

"If I am ever to become a peace-maker among men I must begin with myself. I must be at peace with my brother. I want to be and would be if he would let me. He always begbs it. He loves to fret me. Mothto says he would quit teasing me if I would take it quietly. I wiU try it the very next timsk I will tiy hard."

The next time came that night. Hm bcqrsvwere assembled to re. heaiw the singbg lessons of the day at a s m g ^ school Their father required it of them daUy. A neighbor oaUed him out whfle the zdieatsalwasgobgQn in the tHnlng room.

would not hav6 darad in his father's presence to do what he

aeized the opportunity now to do. He began:

"Mother, mother, yon ought to have heard Victor to-day at school on the ' fuge' in 'Hark from the Tomba.' This is the way he sang i t " Then in utter disregard of all harmony he droned out the first stanza, making a farce of the 'fuge.'

And Josephine and Agnes said Victor could out sing the teacher, and he would be a singing master one day.

"Oh, jolly! Victor a singing mas-ter! Better say a singing mule!"

At this the negro boys outside the door roared, and even Itlrs. Lawrence laughed.

Victor's face flushed, and had he not put bis band over his month long enough tossy, "Blessed are tbe peacemakers for they shall be called tbe children of God," bis mother would have had to rtbulte his sharp words.

"Now, mother," said Victor, " I did not expect you to laugb. But it was funny. If you will keep tbe negro boys quiet I will show you how George sings i t " Then in a monotone be droned out tbe stanza exactly as George was obliged to do with bis very best efiforts, foi George never could sing nor even whistle a tune, and besides he was color-blind.

" I am Sony for brother George, for his ears are as deaf to harmo-ny as his eyes are blind to colors. I would gladly give him one or the other faculty I possess. I bave pleasure both in hearing and see-ing he can never know. I am really sorry for him."

Victor said this so sincerely George was touched deeply, and the negro boys who knew tbe truth of it were subdued by the sympa-thy in Victor's voice.

Mr. Lawrence came in and said: "Victor, sing that song George failed on so miserably just now."

I t wss Victor's mimicking he had mistaken for George's voice, and Victor told him so.

" I am sorry, Victor, you make sport of your brother's misfor-tune," the 'Squire remarked.

" I was answering fun with fun, father. Mother told me to do i t "

"Very well, then. Now you sing it correctly."

Victor did so and was commend-ed George was really proud of him, too, and gave him his barlow.

"Blessed are the peacemakers," rang through the chambers of Vic-tor's heart that night, and he dreamed his verse was a white-robed angel, looking always into the tfM of his Father in heaven?

Next day George, who had great mechanical tact, was making a cistern of cedar for a. married sister. Victor was watching him put ' the bevel on the dressed boards to fit them water-tight. He wondered how it happen^ the bevels on a narrow b(Mi^ did not out away so mnch timber as the bevels on a wide one. Geoigere-plied it was not a fact, and to inove his assertion he placed the

" form " upon both a wide board and a narrow one, which exactly fitted both bevels.

Still Victor contended be was right At length to settle it a wa-ger of two dollars was bet by George and accepted by Victor. Then two boards, a wide and a narrow, were put to the test and the shavings counted.

After tbe narrow one was dress-ed, the negroes said:

"Victor, you'd better crawfish out of that bet George'll take de does off'n yonr back and show your naked skin. Bock out, Vic-tor."

But Victor was resolute and awaited tbe result

Sure enough, tbe shavings from tbe wide board were more than from tbe narroWi and Victor bad won.

George was dazed Victor was no mechanic, and yet in George's own realm, where be was a master indeed, Victor had won a wager.

From that day, George ceased nagging Victor so cruelly.

Victor said nothing about pay-ment of tbe wager. A week later George amazed Victor by giving him a handsome cedar cheat he had made with utmost care and skill

"What is that for, brother?" asked Victor.

" Oh, jolly, Victor, you know I just kind o' like you."

" Blessed are the peacemakers" made sweet music in Victor's

beart, and he gave George a regu. lar bear hug.

{To be continued). Marriage Maxims.

A good wife is the greatest earthly blessing.

Make marriage a matter of mor. al judgment

Marry in your own religion. Marry into a difl'erent bloofl and

temperament than your own. Never talk atone another, either

alone or in company. Never both manifest anger at

once. Never speak loud to one another,

unless the house is on fire. Let each one strive to yield

oftenest to the wisbcB of the other. Let self-abnegation be tbe daily

aim and effort of each. The very nearest approach to

domestic felicity on earth is in tiio mutual cultivation of an absolute unselfishness.

Never find fault unless it is per-fectly certain that a fault has been committed, and then prelude it with a kiss, and lovingly.

Neglect tbe whole world beside rather than one another.

Never allow a request to be re-peated " I forgot" is never an acceptable excuse.

Never make a remark at the ex-pense of the other; it is meanness.

Never part for a day without loving words to think of during absence; besides, it may be that yon will not meet again in life.— The Bapiist.

Younff S o u t h C o r r e s p o u d c n c e .

I am so glad to announce to you that you have canied out the program I set before you week before last most beautifully, and in good time for the CouTeution, too. The last cent of our FLOO pledg^ to Dr. Willingham for the ForeiRU Board debt is paid. The quilt Is paid for and the Orphanage is its proud possessor. Besides that I have turned over to Mrs. Kannon $1310 that you have sent we from time to time for tbe orphans. She says she will immediately bave tbe new matting put down on tbe hall, and all who go in and out will bless the Young South for the added com fort, and she begs now that you wil give new bedding. Mattresses, sheets, and pillow cases are much needed be-fore the cold winter comes. Shall we not help them in this way?

You wUl see that our Mission Fund has made already a small beginning. It is work for Japan now with all our hearts. Let us bend all our energies to this object. Let us work early and lat^ work earnestly, hopefully, pa-tiently, ialways asking God's blessing! I shall expect great things from you this fall and winter.

I have so many letters this week 1 almost fear you will tire of readbg them, but I was so glad to get them every ons. The first one I open is froi^ Germantown:

"Het« am II I send you $l for Bro. ^UUngham. I hope the Lord wiU bless him. Yours truly,

Mas. G.W.Thomas." Then here's another from our dear

little Mends in Deeherd. I wish we had dozens'more like them:

" Cor Uttls Ethel and Bichard re-qosst ms to write and offer you their litUs monthljy savhigs. Enolosed I hand you oheck for $2, and SI is for ths quilt and the other is to bs ap-plied as yonr Judgment may suggsst Ws know you wiU phwe ii whw jt will do the most good. Our little ones ar« enthnsiostio hi the work, and ihvj always lejoios wheij another Ut-tb oohi finds its way into their chap-si bslL Yours slnosidy,

L.Y.P*a«."

From Madison we get this: "Aunt Nora's beU has SI in it,

which I send to you. Would it do to sell the quilt by ticketsi Each of the Young South members would doubtless take one at 25 cts. May tbe Lord bless you is my earnest prayer! I belong to the wheel-circle.

M a s . J . W . MEMEBS."

This old friend of ours will be de-lighted to know that the pretty quilt is paid for by the voluntary offerings, but we are most grateful for tbe in-terest tbat prompted her suggestion. Perhaps we can make use of it anoth-er time.

From tbe Lone Star State >e have these cheering lines from some little cotton-pickers:

" I send SI (K) to help pay tbe For-eiffu Bo rd debt. Mamma paid the children 5 cts. a hundred for picking cotton. My dear papa died March 3. 1893, i(nd my baby brother, Jonathan, April 24,1894. Lovingly,

B E L L E S M I T H . "

Are there not others who can go in-to the white fieldsT

Tbere's no good work tbat Nellie Powell is not right "in it."

" Enclosed find SO cts. in postage on tbe quilt for the orphans. Lov-ingly, NELLIE POWELL."

Another old friend writes from 3rand Junction:

" We want our debt paid and the orphans to have tbe quilt. So we shake out our pyramids. I have sent Bro. Thompson a quilt for the Or-phanage, Yours truly,

LILLIAN S M I T H . "

I like this letter from Trczevant, where tbe Young South has so many good friends:

" I have been very much interest-ed for some time in tbe work of the Young South. We have taken a family collection of Si 05, my children and grand children contributing. My own contribution of S2 comes from my missionary hen. Wishing you much success in your noble work, I am, yours truly,

Mbs. M. A. Hillsmam." If all the dear grandmothers would

do like this! Here's a pyramid filled by three

busy little workers at Dare: "Enclotad you will please find SI. am so glad we filled our pyramid

u time to help on our debt. Mrs. iscon's mother and aister sent us

55 cts. The rest we sold eggs for, )ut as we could only get 6 cts. a doz-

en for them, it has taken us a good whUe getting our dollar. My mis-sionary hen died, but Mrs. Bacon gave me another. We go to a Bap-tist Church once a month. We like to read the Young South letters, and we hope you will soon have the SIOO. We will try to do somethhig for Japan. Yours truly,

William Csaveb, L. and D.B. Bacon."

This little letter gave ms g»»t pleasure. Its contents swelled our Orphanage fund In such a gratifyuig way. I have often seen the picture of (he UtUe girl who sends it, and she has the look of an earnest UtUe '^'SSdosed find S5 lor the 9fphan-unFund. I hope to collect next for Sssions, and 1 wiU ghtdly add to the Young South fund, if you will •and me a pyramids From yonr lit-tle friend, B o a s r W * ^ ^

From Antioch these kind words

help buy the quUt for tha orphans at Nashville. May ths Lotdblsss yon in your nobis worki Your sister in Christ, (Mrs.) A«n« Smith."

And this from Tilford: "You will find enclosed 11.00 to-

wards bdyhig theqidlt for the Orphan-age. IknowitwiU plsass thsUUle chUdren. I am ghd to see the Young South workhig so faithfully to help pay off the debt. We take the BAT-TisT AND Bstliotob, aud I am anx-ious always to see the Young South page. Wishing you success, I am, yours truly, Mas S. J. Batliss."

This ia from Chestnut Bluff: "Enchised yon will find SI 80, part

of it I made from my missionary hen» aid friends give me.some. Thirty cents my little sister has collected for the Orphans' Home. I hope to have more for you soon. Lovingly,

Willie Bbitis." I think WUlie will be satisfied thst

I gave her dollar also to the Orphan-age quilt, as the mission fund gets the benefit.

From Fniithind a tiny boy writes: "Enclosed you will find 25 cents to

help buy the quilt for the orphans. I am nearly four yean old and my father has been dead a year. Mamma, little sister and I live with my grand-father, and he pays me to haul hi stove wood. You wiU hear agahi from me someday. Rtisa Hobnsbi."

So you see there waa a goodly num-ber of letters. I was obliged to shorten some of them for lack of space, and I thank all the writers most heartily.

Before you read this we shall have decided on our line of work for the future. I hope to have very pleasant tidings for you next week. I shall look at the Convention with Young South eyes, snd note everything that I think will help or interest you. I thank you so (rincerely for your help hi this emergency. I feel as if we bad really accomplished somethhig in meeting our pledge and putting title matting and lovely quilt hito our Orphanage. I am proud of the Young South! Buckle on your armor now, tight and strong. We ate in for a fight agahist rin and ignorance and want. I want to see hosta of young snd old hi our ranks. Good bye.

Texas Letter .

Aa the BAFTIST AND RIXKOTOB goe> ioto the homes of so many of m j olc East Temisssee friends, will you gir me speoe to say e few things through your columns? I want to say, fiist of all, that the old paper is more than a welcome visitor to my West em home. It is like reading a letter from home. One feature that is ex ceptionally refreshing to me out hen is that there is not so much free fight-ing (as it is called) among Baptists, bat ^ seem to be pulling peac^uUy and quietly together. I tmaybetha yon ate a little bit too quiet in some things. You know there is a woe pronounced on them that are at ease in Zion.

This is the greatest country in more respects than one in the world. While there are some drawbacks, the advantages ars many. Chief among the advantages here is that there is an abundant opportnni^ for men who have a will to work, vith good rmaaeration. The demand for la-boms has been largely in excess o the supply. Sines I have been here, 1 have not besn able to respond to near all the calls that have been made for my services, though I have pieaohed on an average of five ser-mons per week since last April a year ago. I have helped to build two diardi houses and am engaged now in bnOdlng.the third one. I have just doiM out a most glorious meet-ing with my church at Cedar Mills. T h m were 37 additions to the church, 81 of them I7 baptism. So I am made to ezdaim with old David, " BIsm the Lord, 0 my souL"

But after all the grand advantagee ate told, there is a very sore evil even bmf In Tsus . There are so many Baptists that want to spread the mantle of charity (as t h ^ call it) over evsiything that comee alrag claiming to be a gospel institution. There is a regular mania for onion meetings and union Sunday-schools, and even union houses of worship. People are hem iiom the four quarters of the globes and the inne-oh I my 11 nckon they m all repiessnted here in Tex as. i b d then taking the wishy-waahv, sUAy^doshy, mOk-and-cider kind of BapOits in, you can begin to sse that it Is a kind of difficult work here, ^ t thanks be to God there is a nucleus, and this nuclsus is the backbone of all o u churchss out hers, that is sound In the faith.

What we need, itseems to me mote than aaythlng alas. Is pastors that have the ooorage of their convictions, that a n able to indoctrinate their peo-ple andlead them In gieen pas tu i^

give them not only the milk, but t ^ meat also, show them the difFerrace between making a profession of rslig-ion and a practical Christianity, that it i> one thing to say that we love Christ, but it is entirely a dilTeient thing to prove our loyalty to him. But such a course is not popular in a great many of our churches.

I hear it said of some of our towns that all the denominaUons are at peace with one another; that it is im-possible for one to tell which denom-ination they lieloDg to by the prsach-ing of their pastors. I reckon the time is about accomplished for the fulfillment of Christ's prophet^: When the Son of Man comes will he find faith on the earth t We should remember that it is the gospel that is to be the power of God unto Salva-tion, and that it is only thoee who prove their friendship to Christ by dbiog the things that he has com-muded, that are the light of the world, the salt of the earth.

When I came out here I expected to return to my native heath in the fall following, but the brethren took hold with such a strong grip that I was unable to release myself. So I was disappointed in that caieulationi but I do hope to be spared to pay my old field a visit yet and hold some meetings for my old churohes.

I was sorry to hear that my old charge at Decatur, which flourished almost like a green bay tree under my short administration, is now in the slough of stagnation. My proph-ecy was truer than I knew. I told the brethnn seven years ago, when a certain crisis was upon us, ithat if thqr allowed the interest to drop then I doubted whether they would ever be able to get upon the same h i ^ plane again, and if they ever did it would take them at least twenty years.

pray that the good Lord may not reward them according to their do-ngs, but that they may bsstir them-

eelves and take steps to occupy the field for the Msfrter. I want to send

hearty God bless you to all my old risnds, and ask an interest in your

prayers for the blessings of God to rest on my labors. W . P . H I L L .

The letters from the churches show an increase of members and an in-nease of three churohee. Our bounds show much dsstitution, with several of our churohes weak financially and few in numbers.

This book, by rea •on of tbe excellence o!t its matter, and the charm of its style, holds the reader'a intereat enchained to the end It is just such a book as ought to be resd, marked and inwardly digested, especially by every young Christian in our churches, that they may be able to render to every man that ask eth them a reason for the faith that is in them; that they may learn to hold up thsir heads instead of. bang-ing them down to be picked, and to thaok God that they are Bsptists, in stead of going around apologizing for belonging to a little sect so ignor snt snd illibsral.

Obituary.

HABBIS:—The dark wings of the death angel hare entered our mids and taken from us one of our belorec Sunday-school pupils, little Mary CTlaytoD, daughter of W. C. and Era Harris, who died Oct. 6. 1891. after fire days' illness with diphtheria, a the age of 7 years. The Baptist Sun day-school of Darden, Tenn., has lost one of its brightest gems; be it there-fore

Jiesolved, That it is with sad hearts that we attempt to exprees our sor-row at her early death, for she was so faithful in her Sunday-school work and so lovely in character. But it has pleased the all-wise Providence, " who doeth all things well," to trans plant her from earth to heaven. We would say to the sorrowing relatives, weep not for her, for our loss is her' eternal gain, and on the pearly shore " orer there " her little hands beckon us to come, and when it comes our turn to croes " orer the river she will be there to welcome us.

Resolved, That a copy of these res-olutions be presented to her parents and also a copy be furnished the BAT TIST AMD RKFLtcTOB tot publication.

Holleman fell asleep in Jesus, thus bringing to a close a life of forty-six ysars of faith-ful and devoted oonsecation in the •errice of the Master. This loving moUier and sinosra servant of God was bora November 21,1824, and jvas, Uiemfore» in Uie seventieth year of her age. September, 1848, she became the wife of Joseph J. Holleman. They lived happily together until June 18 1882, when he prwjeded her to the 'Spirit World," leavingtwodaughters

and • son to moura their loss. Thsae ohOdven were such as a true Christian mother would train and rear to man^ hood and womanhood. Theaen,aspe-oially, was the idol of his mother's

Grif-fin Wright of blessed memory into the fellowship of the Beech Grove Baptist Church, then located near the town of Humboldt, Gibson County, Tbnn. Mrs. Holleman was a constitu-ent of the Humboldt Baptist Church, of which she remained a faithful am consistent member until her death. She was always true to her church, ever^ ready and willing, yea, even eeteemed it a privilege to render i' any service within her power. She was the constant and real friend o her pastor, hsr r^ular preeence in the church was a source of inspiration to him, for he felt assured of her earn-est prayers in his behalf. Oa Monday, October 8th, a large concourse of peo-ple assembled in the Baptist Church of Humboldt , to attend her fuoers services, deeply anxious to manifest the profound esteem in which she was so universally regarded. Her )ody was laid to rest in Rose Hil

OBITUARY.

WaioBTi-On Thursday. Aug. SO, 1894, God sent his angels to bear home Uie spirit of Robert L. Wrifl^t, one of earth's noblest young men. God works misteriously—we cannot understand why he so often takee from us our brighteet and purest friends. Before death struck him he was looking to the cross, and when the angels beckoned he answered the summons with that calm smile as only those can who have made peace with Him who rules all dsstiniss. OtGod, comfort the bereaved ones and mide us in the paths that will rs-unile us with our loved one around thy throne.

A precious one from us has gone,' A voice we loved is still ;s

A place ia vacant in our home r- Which never can be tilled. Stiod in his wiadom has recalled

The boon bis love b u given, And tbougb the body moulders bete.

The soul is safe in beaven.

To the Baptist and Reflector, Oxford Teachers

HOHKB:—Again the death angel has visited our midst and taksn from our loving embrace Mrs. Serept H. Homer, who died Sept. 25th. She was a consistent meml^r of the New Providence Baptist Church; msde a profeesion when quite young. Gen tie and loving, pure in character and life, she was an exemplary follower of Christ. She was an affectionate, pains-tailing mother, careful by pre-cept and example to raise her chil-dren. She leaves three noble daugh-ters—Mrs. Chris Smith, of New Frovi denoe; Miss Tsbbie Homer and Mrs. Parker Dibbls, of CUrksvills-to mourn her loes. Her pastor. Rev. J. P. Weaver, conducted her funera from the text, <' Blessed are the dead," etc. We then laid her away in beautiful Greenwood amid teare o sorrow and regret. She was a sin-cere and true friend. Being possess-ed with a bright intellect and a refined vain of humor, she was entertainini [ to those ivith whom she associated she canied smiles of sunshine an( happinees with her daily. Thoee who knew her best believed that her Christian character was without a flaw. The aweetneee of her life as a Christian was simplicity. She was loved and loved everybody, and was one of the best women in Montgom-ery County. She was devoted to her church and Sunday-school; wss al-ways at her post As. hsr pastor's wife, I never expect to have a tru«r friend, and feel as though hsavsn will be sweeter to DM for et«r kpow-ing her. We wiU miss her at home, in the sooial gathsrings, in tha friwid ly circlet at Sunday-school; in the prayw-meeting and the worshiping assembly. We aorrow with thoee whose hearts are bleeding in their I separation from this prsdous soul, but even in the shadow of this be-reavement we can thank God for two Udogs: 1. That h*, wrer gave us the InsfriKaUon and binedloUon of her Christ-like life. 2. That he has now taken hsr Iweet SfMt luito his isst. May your Christian example and in fluence still live to keep us near our Savior. N(4i]e (^risUan woman, at-feotionate mother, precious frlnid, we Udyoufuewell.

—The latest news from the Czar of Russia is that there has been a ohaaga for the worse in his conditioo, and that he is now lying critically ill at Li-Tftdis and his death may be expected •Dj day. He has been the mainstay io preserviog the peace ot Europe, •nd we tremble for the consequences when he is gone.

—The political pot is boiling at quite a lively rate. Next Tuesday the people of every State in the Union Rill vote for CongressmeD, and in many States for Oovemor and legis lators and other State officials. The BAPTIST AND REFLECTOR is not a polit-ical paper, and so we shall not make any suggestions as to whom you should vote for. We do want to aug gest, however, how you should vote Vote only according to the approba lion of your consctenoe. Vote both (or the beat meaHUres and for the best men to carry them out. Vote as you bsJieva your Master would vole were he in your plaoe. This may not be politics, but it is Christianity, and we are talking to Christiana.

—Japan has gained another great victory over China, and it is stated that the Chineae are suipg for peace. The terms they cffer are the inde-pendence of Corea, which was the original question at issue between the two countries, and the payment of ao indemnity to Japan for the expen-ses of the war. It aeems, however, that Japan is disposed to claim a much larger Indemnity than China hM oifered; but it may be presumed that the p3wers of Europe will object to her making too large demands up on China, and that the war will soon be settled. The result of it wiU be, we believe, aa we predicted in the be-Ktoning, to open both China and Cores, together with Japan, still more to western oiviliiation and to Christi-•Dity. This war, we are convinced, was Qod's way of preparing these Hstern nations for the reception of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

~About twenty years ago. Dr. Da-rid Swing, of Chicago, withdrew from the Presbyterian ministry and set up » church of his own in Chicago, nin-niog it upon sensational and some-what h^ratical lines. He suoceed-

in gathering • msmbership of >hout 2,600 people around him, but within a week after his' death on Go-toherSrd It wmi annonniM that his ohnreh organiiatlon had ceased toez-i t . An organisation built up around • man will go to pieoss whisn that

i« gone. This was true largely with fiwohar'a ohuroh.' It will be

ire believe, of Talmage's. It not true, however, with Sptur

(Mo'a. aa shown by the IwA that not

only the church at the -Metropolitan Tabernacle, London, continues to prosper under the ministry of Spur-geon's son almost as much as under that of hie father, but also that all of the charitable institutiona founded by him seem to be equally as flottriahing now as before. The reason for this is simply that Spurgeon built up his church around Christ. A man diee, but Jesus Christ liveth and abideth forever.

—Mr. Isving Hale, in the Engin-eering Magazine for October, makes a prediction that " within five years electricity will be the generally ac-cepted power for elevated and under-ground roads, as well as for surface street-car service." He also predicts "that in ten years numerous inter-urban roads from ten to thirty milea in length will be electrically equip-ped ; that in twenty years some of the large railway systems enjoying the heaviest traffic will consider electric passi^nger service essential to their welfare; that, both for the conven ience of the public and economy of operation, the tendency will be toward more frequent and smaller trains; that a maximum speed of 150 miles and a schedule rate of seventy-five miles per hour will not be considered remarkable; and that within the life of the present generation we will see the present long trains of loosely coupled cars, with their restricted space, poor ventilation and light, im perfect facilities for viewing the scenery and annoyances from smoke and cinders, give way to a single car of liberal dimensions, shaped on sci-entific lines to cleave .the air at high speed with minimum retistance, equipped'with noiseless electric mo tors, free from the disagreeeble prod-uct* of the steam locomotive furnace, designed to afford the passengers an unreatrioted view in all directions, perfectly ventlhited, lighted by elec-tricity and capable of a speed that will cover the distance from Nsw York to Chicago between sunset snd business hours nsxt morning." While he was predicting, why did he not predict also that in a few years mora this electricity wiU be applied to serial locomotion, and that instead of trains of cais running upon the ground we should have airships saU-ing throughthe air at the rate of per-haps 400 or 500 milss an hour and covering the diatanoe between New Tmk and Chicago, not ia a night, but in a few hours, and also spanhhig the ooean which separates the old world from the new hi a few hours of timet For our part, we ezpsct to live to sse the day when thsse thhigs shall oome to pass. What do all thews advanos-meats in sdence msanf They m s u more than comnwroe, we believe-more than simply moD^. The^

mean that God is preparing the world for the faster spread of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. These elec-trical railways and electrical airships that shall be invented are to be only so many highways for the chariots of the coming King. May it be so.

Are Our Churches Evangelistic ?

The story goes that the invited brother opened the protracted meet-ing by preaching on Bepentance, but, somewhat to the chagrin of the breth-ren, he continued the second, third and fourth days to preach away on Bepentance. Several of the more in-trepid sought a private interview with the eccentric evangelist, modestly in-quiring if he could preach on some-thing else. "Not until you all will have repented,", was the resolute re-ply.

When the worthy paitor of Louis-ville began to write for these columns on the mission of the church being evangelistic, it was to be hoped that by line upon line and precept npon precept he would have continued to 'present his theme until some, at least, of the many of our delinquent church-es should have resolved to become evangelistic.

That the chief end of church or-ganization should be, according to New Testament precedent, for the propagation of the gospel, is evident-ly not the popular conviction. To vie with each other and with Solomon in building temples where religious en-tertainment may be provided by which to be ministered unto rather than to minister unto, seems to one who oc-cupies a favorable point ot,observa-tion to reach the height ot concep-tion or the limit ot activitr of very, very many of the religioua bodies that proudly denominate themselves churches of Christ. To go into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in or penetrate into the re gions beyond where Christ haa not yet been named, has become the chief joy and absorbing desire of only the few. What the aggregate of the churchss are doing to hold forth iJia bread ot Ute to the famishing mill-Ions was illustrated by one of the spsakers at a farewell missionary meeting held in Exeter Hall recent-ly, about as follows: I^Suppose m greet public benquet wen ^ven in this hall, to which everybody was in-vltad, and that when the multitudes had assembled around Uie banquet tables, whhsh held mough and to spars, the walten should begin by ssrirlng those naaiest, snd after hav-ing completed the round of the Innw drole ahoald bsgin over sgain and oontlnae to repsat this ad infinitum, leaving the gr«it throngs, a Uttls way off, oold and hnogiy, who floaUy, alighted u d n e i ^ a ^ , | 0 away.

Thia would be just what the ohuroh-es, taken together, are doing towards disohaiging their divinely imposed obUgation to give each one his meat tin due seaaon."

Undeniably, our people need to be aught what is meant by being evan> gelistic or missionary. In the popu-lar sense a church ia to be consideied missionary if it but contributes its modicum to State, Home and For-eign Missions; but evidently more thsu this is essential. Time is a Bap-tist Church of sixty membere locat^ at C., a small town of a few hundred inhabitants, who are diatributed rath-er unsvenly smong the ohurohes ot the different denominations. The lit-tle Bsptist Church owns a nice build-ing and has a prsacher of fine abilitj and splendid attainmenta, whose In-fluence ought to be far rsachlng. Ev-ery Sunday thia dear brother goee to exercise hia magnificent gifts, not to make coDqueets from the ranks of the world, aa there are few who do not . belong to some ohuidi, but to entertain those aixty scattered souls^ who, however, contribute regularly their quota to the different charities, while five or six milea away from tiie town among the bald, bleak hilla are hundred^ who have never yet heard of Jesus, the hope ot Israel and the salvation ot the world. Is it rsally proper to conaidei thia ohuroh aa mis-sionary t Why do not our ohurohsa in the country, by the way, have their mission stationa as well as churohas in the larger citisat

Surely there is no more vital issue to be presented to our Baptist ohuroh-es, to which the blessed Jesus speaka more directly than to any others. Go, preach. Would that every, Baptiat church were ao burdened with the world'a aalviition that it could not be at ease while it haa not set a p ^ and sent forth into the regions beyond Its own Paul and Barnabas. ;,
