Uoeof the beet loved thing* iu thia world la gold,
it may be that it eveu aurpaues tiie love for glory.
All who liave aeen the wonders of hilli and eanonfi,
valleys and mouulaiiis in Colorado adtniie tiiei)- beautie*. Many love her hills for h<>r gold. Since Is.'i9
tiiere have been «112,147,771 of gold mined among t h e
hllia of this wonderful state. It is now estimated that
a* much as |i5,00(» iu gold Is mined every day iu Colorado. Every man ynu meet lu thin part of the country, however, t» not admidng the hills and feasting on
the sccnery nor hunting a place of labor to secure gold
Itonestly, but many ate seeking to obtain it in some
other way, even in any other way than an honest
way. 80 while the riches and tlie beauty and the
climate call the t)et)t people Into these borders, there
comes along tiie bad also, aud from wiiat we learned
the worst of the bad.
WONDERKfl, 81-E.NEKV.
I have spoken already of the scenery here aud iLere.
Those who have seen tiie Aipa say that Ihe Itockles
surpass them. There b< nothing of history, tradliiou
lor romance i-onnected with the liockies as there is
' w i t h tiwitzerlaui and ttie Alps. Kel the witchery of
words alwut the scenery iu Colorndo go out as It has
of older parts of the world. K >b8 iier mountains iu
romance, twine the tender tales of tradition about
tiiem, turn the tide of faehiou toward the fcothllls of
Hierra liianca, cover tiie crests of tho i>taks with a
coloring of words, as varied aud detcrtpiive as tiie
wonders of iheir scenery, aud liie wotid will go West
to see these wonders. The extent of the measure of
merit cannot iw told, it must i>e Heen. You can no
mote describe it thau you can describe u thunder
storm without some kind of tiiunder iit your comm;.nd.
A L.ANt) OK WOXDEILS.
Colorado may truly t>e called a wonder laud. Oran
deur gteeta you everywhere you go. It has beeu described aa a " land of staitliug variety." I t might
well be called the country of colors aud the land of
loTelineMi. There is nothing of monotony iu all the
realm anleaa wonders and beauty ahould grow monotonous. There are phteea where abyemal deep* flll on e
full of awe as the eye looks do wu. There are piercing
hills that cleave the staluieas blue sky above you until
the view makes one too d u z y to think. There are
mouutaina whose stupendous crags reach up like arms
to terrify the ouoomiug of aome approaohlug wrong*
doer. Brooks aud tcamperiug streams with crystal
clearneee run down the mountaiu aides, singing tiie
streamlet song as the waters wiud their way ouward
toward the sea. Trees and birds and flsh and fl jwera
are iu variety unsurpaiwed lu auy laud.
A 1't.ACB OK UtiaiNEFS.
But after all the wonders, Colorado la a place of busi
ueaa. Oliver mining is carried on to the extent of
120,000,000 a year. Mote thau 6,000,000 toua of black
diamond coal are produced each year. The atook, agriculture and dairy produota reach to nearly |(X),00U,0U0
per year. The fruit busineea of the state la but fairly

THE POLITXCAL SIDE OK MORMONISM.
UV REV. D A V i n IIKAOLE, D.l».
Not to forebtall Di. Folk iu tlie excellent articles he
is publishing on the general subject of Mormonism,
nor 10 "steal away his tiiunder," but simply to call
uttention to a special feature of the topic named, the
writer wishes to say that undoubtedly the most dangerous i^culiarlty of the church of the Latter Day
Haints is tiiat it Is really a political Institution. It is
only In part a church, and in part it is a'so a detpotic
(nlltical machine; Just like liomanlsm, Mohammedanism, and other religions which combine In their
structuie chutch aud Htate. l i s priesthood claims to
be iu a peculiar tente divine; uot only ordained of
Uod, but inspired wiilt his wisdom aud authority, bo
that whatever In both temfiorai and spiritual mattera
is reisolvtd on by this priesthood must lie otieyed by
all the members of the Mormon church, under penalty of eternal damnation. Brigham Young claimed
the right to control everything, "from the aetting u p
of a stocking to t h e ribbons on a womati'a bonnet."
Preeident George i t Cannon, iu a sermon prcKched lu
the great Bait Lake City Tabernacle, April u, 18U7, said:
"Their prleathood gives t h e m the right to advise and
instruct the Baints, ajud their Juriadictlou extends over
all things, spliltual aud temporal." Aud Itoberta'
A'lw }Vi(nc/ui/or
Ood, p. 187, anirms.' " I would Juat
as toon thluk of heaven entering chaos, and of t h e
tbroue of (Jv^d being shaken to Ita foundation, aa to
thluk that the priesthood of the Boq of God'had gone
wrong lu his authority, or t h a t the I ord would permit such a thing . . .
I t Is a dreadful thing to
tight or In auy manner opiiote the pritethood."
Aiormoulsm eveu surpa^nea Ilomaulkm aBareligiouM
aud political despotism. Fur while the latter clalma
that the Pope is Infallible, aud occupleft m kind of
vicegerent poaltlou fur Christ lu our world, MormuuIsmdoea nut hesitate to declare that the president of
Us church is a ttue prophet of God, rtceivlng direct
revelations from God; iind thertfore, as a prophet, h e
haa a r i g h t to speuk with fu.'luesn of dlvine authority.
Consequently of all the subjects of a |iolltlc<il rellglou
who have beeu trained to obtdieuce and submissiuu,
perhaps tne Mormou laity repretenlN the moat abjcui

MISSIONS IN RELATION TO T H E SECOND COMING OP CHRIST.
timatlon, a specially dangerous |)ower among tha
other elemeniB of our country, and a power moreover
tliat secui'' to be atrangely out of place. For In America, wjiere all rellglona are free, and where church
and Blate are wholly aeparated one from another, one
would sup|K>8e that Mormonlsm m i g h t partake of
thla free spirit. But not so. The oburch of tho Latter Day Balbts Is really a political concern. It Is, as
related to our government, an f»i/><T/«»< in impi rio;
and, as is usually Ihe case with such Institutions, tlie
members of this church will ordinarily obey their
prleslhtMHl sooner thau they will the government.
Moreover, because this religion is a p ililical allair
and uot merely an eccleflastical faith, it has already
entered into our national politics, and is seeking in
that way for self-aggrandiEement. By watching its
opportunitieH, and casting Its vote now ou this side
and now on tliat, whichever party happens to be In
power or oilers It must advantage, Is uudertaking to
l>ecome really nu extensive political factor iu this
iHiuntry. Already It ha*> not only got Utah received
Into tlie Cuion as a Btale—where, we may say, it continues to practice iHilygamy aud holds supreme control in all iHilltical matters—but it has widened out
its [lower, so that lo day It U virtually the coutrollinK
political factor in Wyoming, Idaho, Ari/.onn, aud lo
i>ome extent also i>i other districts. It Is, moreover.
Just now very t>old and aggieesive, making a broad
altem|it to increase Its strength; and It eveu ho|ie» or
Uiasts of Its ability to conquer the whole countiy to
itself. Iu iHM) a Mormon bishop by the name of Luiit
declared: " We look forward with perfect conlldeuce
to the day when we will hold the reigusof the United
States Government. That Is our present temporal
aim; after that we expect lo control the continent."
Like all othe ambitiouH polllico-eeclesiasticai |H)Wers,
this would conquer and rule the world, If it could;
and it would uot be very particular as to the kind of
means used to accomplisli that end. Mormouism
does uot believe lu rellgioui libeity, aud many of Its
past oulragee, such as the Mountaiu Meadow massacre, show to what deeds this religion would resort lu
order either to increase or perpetuate Its |iuwer. I t is,
therefore, uot merely the planting upon our Amerlcau
soil of the shameful and liarbarous Institution of polygamy that we have to fear with regard to this Mormon faith, but ItH aim is to accomplish, if fiossibie,
eveu greater evil—namely, the overthrovr of lellglous
liberty, freedom of speech, aud really all our free
Amerlcau luatitutious. The triumph of MormouUm
would mean, in eflect, the doetruction of ail the characletistlc luatitutious of our great aud free country,
itesides, it would, of course, carry t h e whole world
back to Ihe old patrlirchal ago In point of clvlllr.allou
aud of the poaltlou of woman lu society.
And, finally, thla political featuro of Mormouism
explains why It bt that Just at the preseut time the
whole laud la Hooded with Mormon miseiouariei'. It
is very largely to pn-Judlce public opinion lu favor of
allowing Cougreasman-elect B. H . Uuberia to lake
hlB seat lu the Uouaa of liepreaeutatlvcB at Washiugton. If t h a t la done, then of course our government puta ItB aanctlou upon polygamy, or tacitly
allows that lUBtltutlon to have a tecoguized political
existence. I n other words, theae Mormou mhadouaries, If they oould, would couatralu UB all to fall In
wUh the notion that the time haa coma for the uulv e n a l recogultlou In thla oountry of the chief corneretone of their ayatem, which la nothing more uor I » b
than polygamy. Of courae, we do not believe that the
Ametlcau people, either j u Cougreaa or out of It, are
big enough foolB to b^ thua deceived. Couuqueutly
we should give theae reprcBenUtivea of au aucleut
Orieutal barbarism and of a new political deapotlam
spiiuglug up lu the W e e t t o u u d e n t a n d , luaome way,
that we have little or uo ueed, lu thla part of the

We are living lo au age of uukurpas'ted opportunltlea for acquiring Information so that Ihe condlilcn
and need of the world, and especially the church,
m a y he known. Electricity and ateam have shortened time and distance so that the ends of the earth
have been brought in touch with eacl; oilier. The
thoughtful and unprejudiced reader can nut fall to
observe the marvelously tiausfurmlug |M>werofthe
teachings of Jesus. No one can etudy the life and
worka of JesUB, the ministry of the apostlei, the work
of the ChrlBtlana In the apostolic age or take a bird'seye view of the etupendous movements of the church
through all the centuries, and not be overwhelmed
with the fact that Christianity is a great mission to a
world that la lost In the ruins of siu. This world Is
Ihe loMt sheej:, the dark spat in the universe of God;
but the great Shepherd of Israel has come to redeem
and cleanse It. H e has given to us a part in the world's
redemption; we are to aid lu clearing away the rubbish. What au honor God haa conferred upon us that
we should become fellow-laborers with him. Now
that the Chief Bheplierd shall appear to gather together all his folds to form oue great ilock, is an unquestioned fact revealed In the glorious gospel. The
Gospels, Acta of the ApoBtlea, Ihe Bpisiles and even
Usvelatlon are thoroughly satuated with t h t fact tliat
ail Gentile nationa shall hear of God's revelation to
man. It la a atar of the Urst magnitude in the heavena of the world's eternal hope. I am to call your attention to the relation between these two great truths.
Mathematica la a science which treats of the relation between quantities aud magnitude. But we diatinguish two kinds of mathematica, vIk , pure and
applied. The former deals with great truths aud
prlnciplee, t h e latter the application of thene to concrete things. Mow the great principle and eMsentlai
thing in religion Is faith In the atonement of Christ.
Mlaaiona 1B the demonstration of the great problem of
ChrlstUulty. It la the applied Chrisliauily, the exhibition of a living faith that reigns in the heart.
Hence misBioua Involves the whole range of theaciivItieB of the church. Not only the work across the
seas or In dhitant parts of our own Continent, but iu
till limited bounds of my own congregation. In the
sight of God, what diflerence can there be betweeu
m y work lu Brownsville and that of Dr. Graves lu
Chlua, Walne In J a p a n or any other missionary in
his reepective Held 7 If we are faithful ministers wn
preach the aame gospel; pray to the same Father;
guided by t h e same Bpltit; upheld by the same divine power; Impelled by the same holy motives that
have Inspired every Christian wotker since the dawn
of thla blessed era—vlx., love to God and love for a lost
race. Bo mlsaloua here Involves all the activities of
the church, both In extending the boiinda of t h e
kingdom of heaven, and lu adorning this earthly
liride for the reception of her heavenly Bridegroom.
On the eve of our Lord'a departure from this world,
he uttered t h e following truth which must bo fulfilled before we m a y behold the dawuing of the glorious appearing: " And this gospel of the kingdom nhall
be preached lu the whole world for a testimony uuto
all the natlouB, aud then alull the eud come." Matt,
xxlv. 14. The good t(dlnga of MeBsiah'B reld;n must
be proclaimed from every hlll-top aud vale throughout the Inhabited earth, that all men may hear the
testimony of Gc^, ere we may look for the rending of
the aklea to behold the deaceut of our glorioua Uedeemer to meet hla bride.
Thla age IB uot to convert the world to Ubrlsl, but
to preach the goepel of Chrlat for a testimony to all
uatlouB. Thla giving of teatlmony for God la our
part In preparing the world for tha atlboud coining of
Chrlat. The world hi not to be cleared of the taree before Chrlat oomee. The tarta will contluue to grow
aud Intertwine thcmtelvia with the wheat, aud contend for room In the field till the end of the harvest
ago. The love of m a u y shall wax cold because of the
awful j)ower of sin and perlloua times shall visit the
earth. Aa It waa in the days of Noah, so ahall be
thoae prMtdlng the coming of t h e Bou of Man. But
lu t h a f a o a o f all this we hear t h e command of our
sreat Captain, " Move lbrward.»' tto It Is our ImleratlTe duty to prtaoh the gospel of the Bon of God
o every naUou under thaauu f o r a wltueMofGod's
•aeroy aud love Ibr them. W e are to seek the wauderlnf Bbeep loat In the tutauglemeut of aiu, aud
point It to tha L a m b of God wbo taketb away the sin
of tba world. When the beraldn have completed
their work than ahall the King oome with hla fau lu

Mauy of tbe parablea of bur Lord lllutirallug the
myBtMlka of tba laign of the MciNlab levaal Inteuae

mustard seed reveals the fact of its ever widening
bounds. Tiie teu virgins cuj'ilus watchful preparation

shall beglu a t h l s r e ' u r n , and we are to be rewarded
according to the way lu which we have spent bur
time during his abMuce. Now this extension of tlie
boundry and contiuuefl state of preparation I'emanded from the xuiijects of. that reign demaiid activity.
So there ilea upon us the honored subjects of that great
King and members of his kingdom, the solemn duty
to be Intenaely in oarueat, uot only in periional preparation, but also In personal acllvltleB lu bringing
others in toui^h with the quickening Inflaeuce of t^e
gospel uutii there shall not tie a man, woman or child
iu earth's remotest hounds who haa not heard the
message from tlie great King and has had created iu
their breasts a deaire to see him face to face, or u
feeling of condemnation so that they will call on the
rocks aud mountains to fall ou them and hide them
from the face of H i m who sits uu the throne of glory.
The church of the old dlspeusation was a receiving
church; that of the new was designed not only to be
a receiving, liut a l s ; a giving cliurch. The old received and hoarded the treaaurei of God; the u e ^ receives these tieaaures, not to deposit in some vault,
but to put forth at interest, that our Lord may receive his own with Interest wbeu he comes. Tiie
Jewish Church was a stationary light. I t crowned
the hill of Morlah a magnlilireully adorned temple.
It had ItH gorgeously robed priests; its most srilemuly
beautiful ritual; its varied sacrlllcea; Its kings aud
prophets; it waa the living oracle of Jehovah. It waa
situated in the center of tha world's civiilztliou of
that age. The surrouuding idol worshiping nations
could look to Zion and see the shekinab; tbe brilliancy aud luster of heaven's light; tlie maj<>8lic presence of Divinity. But it was like a beauou ou some
dangerous beach, remained stationary. Much iu that
ancient church pointed to the first advent nf the
Messiah, the true sheklnah of heaven. But when
lieaven's greatest light burst iu »plendor upon this
world, it was uot to remaiu above in Zlouand flll her
valleys and crown her hills with radiance, but was
destined to follow the course of the sun aud move to
Westward, and it shall never ceate to move till it has
girdled the earth with heavenly glory and light.
The Messiah demolished thoae massive walls Of national holatiou and prejudice, aud mouuiing upon
their ruius, he summoned his followers around him
and gave the commaud to l>ear that message of light
and truth, this gospel of the kingdom, to tiie uttermrst p a n s of the inhabited earth.
We are the successors of thote early ditclples, and
If we prove, worthy of ra noble a line of succetslon,
we will have to lift high tlio torch of heaveu's glorious light. T h a t light la to be carried forward till
every continent and isleof the aea has seen how to read
his law and gospel. Then may we look for H i m who
shines aliove the brlghtaees of the noonday's sun to
come aud receive all who have swuug the heart's
door open to receive the light. Hence the second
coming of Chrltt becomes a strong aud powerful Incentive to earuBBt Christian efTort to extend the
bounds of the kingdom of light.
'
We are but the agonta whom God has entruvted
with his redempllve truths. A large house with
quantities of goods which the people ueed, and which
the house Is anxious for the people to have, will uot
store them away aud bar Its doors; but through the
medium of advertising aud agents It Induces the people to liuy Its goods and thua falllll ItB function. Bo
the church Is not merely a depository of divine truth
w h e n that which m a n so much needs Ib kept behind
barred doors, but through the medium of the Bible,
rdlglouB llleraturo and the living minlatry these divine goods are to be preieuled to the world, \ y e arc
fo ahow that the revelation of God lu Chtlst la superior to all other revelations, that Ihe Chrisiiau'B faith
is superior to all other faiths. W e are to persuade men
to •• buy the truth aud sell It not." All the flrma In
the limits uf this earthly territory must be seen and
given a chance to buy or tcjwt our goods. When our
territory ha« beeu worked, thau can we look for the
Master of our hbuse to oome aud leward hla servanti'.
Another motive that should Impel ua to greater
Keal aud activity lu our mission operation Is that we
may hasten Ihe time for the rtdempilou of this physical world ou which God's curse rests bcoause of
man's rlu. Thluk of the truth that this Blu-cursi|d,
wicked and ruined planet, despite all the powers of
darkneiM anil hell, Is to be renovated a j d refasbloned
aud become wbat Gdil lutsuded It from the beginning
—a glorious babitatlou i>f Nlnlesa bslngs. Whether
tills teujvallou of the pbysloai world shall balu oon*
necUou wltb CMirlsl'a seoond coming or delayed
somallma beyond, Is Immaterial bare, hut tbhi Aiat
remains, that thl« reuovatlon shall not take place
uutil the coUHummatiou of Messiah'H reign, and Me«siah'a reign will not be consummated until " thla goal>el of tbe kingdom " has b.QU preached to all iiatlous.
Peter, In his addreaa to the throng lu Boiomou'a
porch, declared " that the tAaaveua mu»t cuutaiu "
the Holy and UIghteous Oae uutil the time of restoration of all things." Acts 111. 21. I u Itom. vlll. 18'Si we have a sublime picture. The earth Is spokeu of
a« a person who has uuwiillugly, yet Innocently, suf*
fered because uf another's wrong. I t haa heard of
the promli^e of ultimate reslotalion aud deliverance
from oorruptiou, so it hi quietly walllug, yet groaning
under its grievous burdeus, fur the oousummatlou of
that promiae m^de lu Edeu. In m a n ' s fail this whole
planet fell, and iu man's restoration It too shall be
restored. Fiom every sigh of tbe forest, from every
moau of the sea, from every wall of tbe wounded
bird, fcom e^ery groau of tbe beast under Us heavy
burdeus, aa well aa those pltUui groans from Ihe alckbed aud aillicled heart, there comes a cry: " H o w
loiiif, O Lord, li'iw long wilt thou tarry beyond the
skle.", and laave us under the power of sin and lu the
gru^p "f tho enemy ?'' And from tieyoud the atara
cornea the answer: " U u t i l my heralds have proclaimed this goapsi to all nations." OhI brother. If
God h a t given to ui a part iu the emtncipatiou of all
nature, to iiud a loat race aud a lost world, shUl w e
not b» faithful to our vows, earnest iu our endeavors
to hasleu tho comiug of our Lotd 7
Wbeu we take a view of the church iu the world
to (i «y our hearts ofteu grow sad, f j r we behold uwleas wrangling* and disputes, contentloo, vanity
and ambition. Our leaders tell us we are m a k ing progress, but it seems to be slow. The church
haaeuemies before, behind aud on e/ery aide; apirit«
UjiI wickedness lu high places. Indeed, the tares
seem to have entwined themselves arouud our very
heinga. But nolwlthstandlog theparabieof the tares,
tiie question la often asked, " Will the world never
be converted toCurUt? Shall the gospel fall to triumph over the poweni of evil, aud give'the iufidei a
ciiancti to laugh and rejiioe? Bhali the church ever
be contlned to narrow limita ?" Consider tbe follow*
ing startling fACt: t h a t afcer niuttteeu centuries of
Cbrlatian efTort, uot one half of the world ha^ yet
heard of God aud Chrhit. Out of 1,600.000,000 of people in the world 700,000,000 have never heard of God
except through natural reveUUon. Of the remaining 704.000,000 who have hCAtd of God, 7,000,000 are
Jews, wbo deny the diViaity of our Lord; :i06,000,000
ate Mohammedans, who have supplanted Christ with
tiie Prophet; 840,000,000 are Greek and K ) m a n Catholics, who have usurped Chrlst'ii throue and put
thereon a fallible man, and have changed Ihe basis
of prayer from Christ'a name to Mary's; thua leaving
only 161,000,000 of Protestauta, aud even a large number of these are Unitarians aud Unlveniallsts, who
ara blocking tlie very approachea to the kingdom of
heaven. Thus the working force—the true, loyal
sous of God—the heralds of the glad tidings of the
gospel, a r j few. What, a stupendous task lies before
us I In the face of this, ahall we become discouraged
aud disheartened 7 Mo I a thousand times l u 1 The
llrst advent of Christ was to inaugurate a mission
that should destroy the worka of the devil. Aud that
mission shall not, yea it can not, fail In Its accoiupllshment. DIvlnlly Is equal to the task. W b t u that
mission shall have accomplished its glorious work,
then shall we see the second advent of Messiah. The
time is surely oomlug when every knee shall bow aud
every tongue shall confess that Jesua Chrlat IB Lord—
" when Gentiles shall praise thy rIghlejusneM, and
all kings t h y glory." . Uow many centuries are to be
added to the calendar of tlm6 ere t b e church shall
arise to all her glory aud dignity as tbe trlumphaut
church, 1 do uot know. Some whose hearing is
very acute claim they can hear the great clock of the
centuries slrlklug the eleventh hour, and that t h e
triumphant period of the oburch is drawing oiose. I
do uot know.
J can uot discern my Lord's return from the signs of
tlie times. There have been warn and rumors of wars,
earthquakes, faminea lu divtrs places In every cantury aince Christ's flnt advent. All these things

ARKANSAS BAPTISTS.
The redeemed of the Lord who compose tbe Arkansas Baptist Convention assembled at Jonceboro, Ark.,
Nov. 17th, that they might hold the tlfty llrBt seselou
of that body.
On Thursday before the Convention the Ministers'
Institute assembled and was presided over by Rev. A.
H. Autry. Helpful subjects were discussed by B. M.
BogardofBearcy, K. Z. Simmons of Canton, China,
H. C. Rosamond of Helena, J. K. Paceof Arkadelphia,
A J. Barton of Richmond, Va., M. L. Thomas of
Little Rock, J.T, Boyle, Frank White, J. M. Robertsou, U.H. Htreet of Dardanelle, and W. A.Clark of
Little liock. This is the first time Arkansas Baptist
preachers have undertaken to bold a Ministers' Institute, but from tiie suocess of this one it is expected
that the organization will be permanent. The exercises were highly profitable.

sented the Lord Jesus to lost souls. As a result of
these eflTorts 20 have been added to our cburoh, one
by letter, 18 baptized and one awaiting baptism. Ten
of those who wen baptized came from the Orpitans'
Home, who, while young aud tender, have given their
bearta to tbe Lord. In many respects this baa twen
a great meeting, not only In the ingatliering of roula,
but in reviving tbe chunh. We liave found in our

Reply to J. H. Orlme.
I have Just read the answer to ray
qurstiou as given by Bro. Grime. In
reply wilt say that my purpose in asking the <|ue8liou referred to is that I
am in search of light, inhtruction and
not merely an argument.
Now, if Bro. Grime will bear with
me, which he very kindly consents to
do, I will say that his answers aie not
saiisfactory. Perhapa tbe licope of my
questiona were too iiroad. If ao I will
narrow them down. The impression
that I get from tbe answer is that a
sinner does not possess moral ability or
capacity for gospel obedience at all.
As I understand it, the gosftei is addresfeed to sinuera as though they could
hear, understand, choose, accept or
take what God ao graciously ofTers.
That we may get closer to the question
I now narrow it down.
1. Does a siuner posfess capacity or
moral ability for gosiiel obedience before regeneration?
2. If not, what did Jesus mean lu
Jolin XX. 31: " But thene are written
that ye might believe that Jesus is the
Christ, and that believing ye miglit
have life through hia name? "
Now, as I uuderstand, this life follows believing.

Bro. Oakley's Questions.
and Silas, and before he asked, " What
must I do to be saved?'' I auppose be
was regenerated soon after he took
charge of the prisoners, even tiefore
they suug and prayed.
Agaiu Bro. Oakley tiaya: " What is
generation, Bro. Ogle? la it life? If
so, what la regeneration?"
Anawer. Generate meana to produce;
to cause to be; to bring into life. Re(jencratc means to renew the heart by
a change of afTections, to change the
heart and BiTectlon from natural enmity to the love of God. I hope tbe
above answer is perfectly satisfactory
to Bro. Oakley.
Again Bro. Oakley asked : " Who
begins the quickening, God or tbe dead
' sinuei?"
Answer. God begins and carrlea on
the quickening. I t i a G o d that quickeiiif. It is God that regenerates. I t is
God that Justiiles, pardons, saves, remits sins, forgives inlqultlea.
But what haa all theae things lo do
with the iksue? Bro. Oakley In hia aophistlcatcd questiouH wanta God to
predcttinnte a man, then quicken blm,
which means to regenerate blm; then
wauls the man, tbe cblld of God, to repent aud believe, for what I caunot
tell. To my mlntl tbla .uuacrlptural,
uiireai^onable and man-made theory
ought uot to have a place in our reltgious periodinala.
Now, Bro, Oakley, I will give you
the Ijoftou cow if you will give one
clear atatement lu God'a Word that
states Bro. Grlme'a unwarrantable poaition.
G. A. OoLts. )

" Does Bro. Ogle lielieve iu total depravity—that tbe sinner is dead and
destitute of new life?"
Answer, Yes.
" If he does, will he tell us how his
corpRe repents aud believes in order
that he may come to life?"
I am aorry that Bro. Oakley baa such
ahallow conceptlou^ of God'a words as
to so blindly confound a congciougncst
of sin and guilt before God and regeneration. Bro. Oakley woultl lead the
mind to believe that any drjjrec of life
ia the whole of regeneration. Were
the three thousand on Pentecost dead
i-orpurM wheu they a«ked, " Men and
brethren, what shall we do?" Can a
dead corpoe talk? Does not tbe record
say,"They were pricked In the heart?''
Were they dead corpnes after (hey were
pricked lu the heart? If they were
dead corpses at tbe time of the piercing
of their hearta aud their cries, " What
siiall we do?" then dead corp^ea can
repent. II thoy were rtgcncrated previous to Peter's command torepeut, they

Mi«n Holmes was a city girl, but
she was teaching the winter school
that year in the Sandy (ii^.p district,
and had put her letter in the little
country church of which Mr. Wendell was pastor the very first .Sunday
of her stay there.
She was delighted when she heard
of the donation party, having helpe<l
to get up naore than one in her own
church at home, and thoroughly enJoyed the work.
Indeed, she took the management
of this one somewhat in hand after
Deacon .Sloan—<<he bonnlfd in hU
/amily—asked her to go around and
t ' t e l l folks about it, and ftnd out
'^what most of them meant to bring,
since his daughter, Susan, who was
to have done this for him, was off on
a vbit and would not return in
time."
" Well, I might as well begin with
you. Deacon," she said brightly,
taking out her note book and pencil;
" w h a t will you take as your donation ? "
" Why, I 'lowed to haul 'em a
load of wood; I've got more 'an I can
use or sell thU season, an' so—"
" Very well! ' One load of wco<l—
Deacon Hloan '—there, I ' v e got that
d o w n ! And now you, Mrs. Sioan,
what do you mean to take?"
The good woman looked surprised.
The deacon's offering was, in her
opinion, quite enough for the Bloan
family.
" Why, I hadn't fixed on anytbin'
H])cclal," she bei^an, " b u t I could—"

Thanksgiving, you know ?"
" Well, I oouM spare a pound or

already written, *' Butter and eggs,

she aikcd bim; " I didn't give nothing before."
" W h y , what a tine list I'm going
to have," said Kathleen, her brown
eyes dancing with pleasure «s she
made this flnal entry with an extra
flourish or two of ihe blue |»eiKn.
" I'll try to see most of the memU'rH
before Sunday so us to Im sure of Retting around by Thanksgiving."
" Why, 'taint no sort of use cr

Kathleen," said Deacon Sloan from
his corner and a f t e r bnnkfmt pipi';
" there's Jcs' a few on us that gives

brown eyes now. " Yes, I mean to

of his money thi* time—prrha|)s
more."
She bad, Indeed, a long list of
promised contributions by Sunday
night, and it was simply wonderful
how the Sandy Gap people adopted
Kathleen's suggestions.
" I meant to take some pop-coni
to thera boys," said Mrs. < J ray; "and
Jim, he's goln' to sen' a pumpkin or
so, but—"
" Yon mean you could semi other
things ad well?" she urged. " Why
not, th»n, give a bucket of your
white lani and a crock of that good
apple butter you let me ' sanjple' one
d a y ? / think that would be nicer."
" A l l right," said Mrs. Gray;
" we'll jus' let 'em ull go 'long together, and I'll put in u j t r or sausage, besides."
Old Mr. Il0|)ewel] m«id ho (hongl't
of sending a bag of boanu, but when
Miss Holmes asked him to change to
sweet-potatoes, he agreed at ouce.
" A n d , what do you t h i n k ? " she
ran on gaily, " I ' v e failed to get a
single ham, much as I'd set my heart
on their having one. Do you think
</ot( could possibly Bi)ar« one of your

The second douallon party was In
full swing by eight of the clock 011
that moonlit 'I'hank^givint; night.
They had |Uf.t lilktl the ptintry to
Its top-most slu'lf, as full as the pustor's heart!
They were busy in the equaro, olilfrtshlonfd kitchen now, some of those
notflldc Sandy Gap houiewlves, and
Irttfr OM tlH-re was a grand fcaMt
spn>a<l in the plain little diiiingrooin, such a f « n t as llii' Wciuk-il
children never tlretlof de^'cribing.
Meanwhile, the huiibands and sons
hung hams and shoulder.'*, rP>s and
btu-k-lKuies In the empty sniokehouse; and pilwl loads of (iry WfKxl
in tbe iKic-k yard; Krads of hay and
corn in the barn lofts.
" T h o r e was something nf everything," as Mrs, Wendell expres»:il
it, tearsof remorse us well its gratitude in her blue eyes.
" By the way, di«l i/tm bring anything, Miss Kathleen?" asked young
Dr. C'rofjon mischievously.
She blushed in a sudden vivid
fashion that made him more curious
f<till, and then he caught a glim|)s«> of
the foldwl bill in her hand.
Ten dollars w a i a generous offering
for the little school teacher to make
her pastor.
" I Hupi>osed the money we o\vc«l
was to be made U|) by thrae donations," he said, giving her a keen
look; " but |H>rha|>s we cannot pay
him too well—our good minister.
Here is ten dollars from mo to go
with yours—I collecte<l an old debt
to-(iay—and now,- let us make up a
purse of flfty dollars, say."
Kathleen's bonny face answered
him eloquently, and pawiilng about
among the happy, light-heartc<l
guests, the two young {teoplo secured the thirty dollars necde<l in as
many minutes, and then, with Just
a whlspereil " heart to h e a r t " word
or two, they pas-ted the flfty dollars
over to the pastor and his faithful
wife.
" A u d to think how we talked
alMiut donation iHtrtlos," sobbed Mrs.
\Veudi'll, wlien It was all over at
lust, and they were alone with their
new wealth lu llie quiet house.
"Goti forgive u» I'' orleil the minuter fervently; and hu«h.ind and
wife fell on their knees lu prayer and
thanksgiving.
As (br the church at Siindy Oiip, It
was never the same narrow-mluilul,
close-flsted membership after that
eventftil night. This second donation party, tnatiaged and contrived
by KathU>(>n Holmes, ninrk(>d an era
in its history. The next year the
wiiole Hulary wss paid llrrt, Ih f.jre
the annual Thanksgiving iiflerlngs
were thought of, and so the Wend* 11

BAPTIST AND
A Qood Meeting.
About five months ago tho people
of our nelKbborhowl met at the school
house for the purpose of orgrtiilxhig a
Ualon Sunday-iH'houl, and now we
h«vo one of the largest and mottt intereatlng schools in the country. It
is attended by young and old, all of
whom are taking an active part in
the work. The outcome of this Hundayschool was a grt>at and glorious
revival. The tent belonging to Concord Aswciation was secured, and
Rev. J. P. Jacobs of West Nashville
conducted the meeting, which begun
Oct. 80th, an«l lasted until Nov. 9th.
Bro. Jacobs i-* a most excellent man
and preacher of tbeGmpel. Each sermon delivered by bim was of the
very l)eit and many souls were Ktl to
Christ by his earnest prayers and
pleadings.
The meeting was not only a great
benefit to the unconcerted, Init also to
the Chtistlans. Many had aliowad
thenaselvea to drift into coldness and
indifference towards the work of our
Lord, but they were awakened to
their Christian duty and made to
realize what was expected of them as
a follower ot Christ.
Bro. Jacobs's wife was with him.
She Is an estimable lady and the interest taken by her during the meeting proved that she is not only a great
Christians worker, but also an inspiration to her husband.
We regretted very much that the
meeting had to come tn a clof>e so
0, but owing to an engagement
irhlcfa Bro. Jacobj had elsewhere he
'couldn't stay with us any longer.
From here our brother went to
Hermitage to conduct services at
New Hope Church, Sunday, Nov. 12.
Our many prayers go with him and
his wife wherever they may feci
that the Lord has called them to go,
and that they may be the mean.-* of
winning many souls for Christ.
The meeting baa brought the people of our neighborhood together and
awakened them to their duty of
building a Baptist Church. A committee of arrangement has already
been appointed and work will begin

seemed that He waa graciously wil ing, for ltdid appear that He was with
us in great power. The meetluK continued nine daya aud nights. There
wet910 professions, eight uniting with
the church on the last night. A very
remarkable feature of the meeting was
that ftil that made a atart were converted; not a a l ^ l e one was left at the
anxious seat. The writer did all the
preaching except three sermons. All
Christians Joined In most heartily. 1

the Lord graciously bleeeedus. I ihink
the loflusnce of this meeting will be
