In thia aanaa I heartily andorae Dr. Wbltaitt be-eaaaa thia la tha poalUon of Croaby and Evana, both rallabla Eagllab BapUtt hlatorians, wtaoaa authority ia dearly baaed upon the Jeatey Reeorda or the Kif-fin Manuscript, the Hatehlnson account, the Bamp* field Docnmant and tba writings of such men aa Spila-

The aama Is true of tha Poland Anabaptista who restored U In IS74, and of the Dntab Baptista (Collegianta) who restored it ia 16t0. Bnce I use the word "res-lerottoi" instead of "InTantion" or "IntrodncUon," because this Is the historical form In which Crosby,

In tha 10th century they cer* | M ^ i y varied ia the mode of baptism; held that the puimanity of Christ was not derUad from Mary; ware

Tba gatae of bell have never and can never prevail agah at Christ's Church-however often thty may destroy Ita forms and organism—so long as God's Spirit, truth and peopla are in the world; and we are assured in the Word of Ood that from Adam 'till now, and to the end of time, God has had and will ever have a true people having his Spirit and his Word—whatever bas been true of bis organisations and ordinances at given times undor all dlspeosations. If this be trea-son, main the most of it. Gao. A. Lorroif.

Atlanta Items. Things ara moving aioait qulie wtll la the "Gate

City." The different pastors have returned from thdr summer vacations and entered vigorously upon thalr fall work. I apent nearly the whole of August visit-ing in Northfield, Mass.. and my old homein Virginia. My vacation was, In many respecta, by far tha most pleasant and profitable one I ever bad. It bad bean over two years since I visited Virginia, aad it gave me great Joy to meet loved ones at home, and many other friends face to face again.

It would ba impoasibia for mc to fully describe my charming visit to Nortiifield. The place la tha most beautiful spot of earth that my eyes ever beheld, and tha paopla wbom I mat were deeply pioua and re-markably hospitable Northfield is wlddy known as the home of D. L. Moody. The Interest of Northfidd centara arot^nd Mr. Moody very largely. Tba ad v«raa critioiam which soma have been pleaaad to raisa against Moody of lata Is, in my opinion, wholly un-warranted. Bnt I may ba mlsukan, nor am I aetfor hla dafansa. And yat judging from the maonar la wbiob ha plans for and managea the great Northfidd mastiag, and from tha lovaand unbounded eonfidaaca wl.loh avary one there aaamad to hava toward him I ahohid aay tliat Mr. Moody'a Infinande baa nol waned, but that hla power with God and man is greater now than aver bafora.

With tha exesption of a ftiw axtrsma attarancas, I haarlUy aadoraa avarythiag that I beard. ^ aub-Jaou diacuaaad ware of very graat intarast to ma, aad tba mlas^oaary mcatlaga wara highly Inapiring.

It was my pleaaurs to worship oaca with tha oala-brated Judson Memorial chnrch la New York. This ohnrch is run on the institutional plan and la ae-eompllsblng a graat work.

These and other features of the Institution Interested me very much.

We ara moving along serandy In Georgia. GeorgU may now be said to be in most respecta the leading Baptist State. We ara pretty generally at peace amoag oursdvaa and witii every one dse, even witti Keatucky and MlssUslppl. For while some of ae, at least, don't agree with everything that Is going on, yet we have neither time nor disposition to raisa a row widi any, one. What does it matter if the chain doeen't rattle aU tiie way back to Jordanf Suppose tradition to broken into a little, we have tiM Bible left, and I bellave ttie most of us Georgia Baptista ara willior to risk the Bible. As an evidence of this see our Increaaed contributions to missions aad pro-graee aloag all other llnee of church work. Go It, bfethrsn; we ara too busy to worry about what eome body ought to have done bat didn't do over two hundred yean ago.

We have bnt few vacant pulpita at pressat. The bdoved J. D. Winchester resigned the Third Church of thto dty leaeatiy and accepted a call to tha Bap-tist church in Orangeburg, S. C. He was a good aad usefd maa both in Atlanta and throughout tha State. PMonally I ftol greatiy grieved at bto departure. Ha aceompiisbed a good work with the Third Church, and left It in a first-rate oonditioa. The church, I understand, will not cdl a pastor for aometime yet Dr. Strickland baa raalgoad Otivary church to be-coflM presldeat of oaa of our fianale oollages. Bis

I beM chosea, I am told. lve«£|haa iattarin , Mercer Ual»s«ft# baa tattering pntepeote for tiM

approadiing session. Several of onr eoUegas hava opened with good attendance.

The Baptiste ara making permanent progress la all •ectioos of the State, and we hope to raport greater reeulta for the Lord in the futura.

It is one of the sweetest ihooghta to me, as I go on laboring in the service of tin Master, that tbera may be rich and blessed fruit from my sowing of the seed of divine and saving truth that it may never, here on earth, be given me to see Some yeara ago* I apent part of a college vacation in a neighborhood wbera a godly, couaeerated man waa boldiag a meet-ing. I was a timid, bashful youth and could help him bnt littie, yet I did, one night, from a-full and glowing heart, toll of Jaena and hie precloueaeee to me and begged the young m n to give their hearta and llvee to hla service I weal away, and busy, crowded yeara have passed sinee then. Iliree years ago I went baok. I aMt a young pastor who le do-ing earnest, Idling worii for (%rist aad be told me (Ob I mdtiag atory to me) that hla convaraion aad en-tering the mialatry wara doe to the poor, weak, halt-ing talk I mada that night long ago. The atory brought tean of gratitude to my ayea. It taught me tha aweet lesson that seed>eowlng and reaping times ara both alike la God'a haad. I ahall go on aowlag aa God givee cae health and atrangth. Tba harrest to with hhn. "One aowttii and anothsr raapelh." God will auraly raward lha faithful toller. "Ha that raapath recdveth wagea.'*

From Kentucky. It hae been almost seven years since I left my first

pastorate at the qnlet liule village of Beech Grove, •esttlag among the beautiful bills of Bedford and Oolfce Ck>unties, for the Seminary at Louisville. Darlag all these years I have not ceased to th*nk of a y brethren at home with the very tenderett affootlon aad the strongest admiration. Not a nobler set of eonrageons, consecrated, God-fearing men live on the globe than the pastors of Tennessee. They love the troth seaeoned and enrlobed with peace and bar-BOny. They are *'vorunteers" in tbe army of Christ. They do not fight one anoUiei' as do some of their Birfghbore; but they present a solid front against the powers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in high

' plaoee. Bow much of the wisdom and good feeling . that pnvall among tbe brethren of Tennessee is due

; lo tha oonservative Christian course of the BAPTIST F JOLO RBIUEOTOR I do not know. But one tbing I do iknow: I l i s extremely refreshing to turn aside from

boUetins of battle that are published in some I and coma nne awhile with the sweet spirits of

"volnnteers" through the organ of peace, the ^ A R i a r AND BBTUPOTOB Can you not etart from ;i|vnr aentral location and from your seat of influence

braeie laden with the sweet aroma of Obristlan llowehip th»t will pervade all tbe States around

bring tie all to feel once more that "we be I r an f ' God speed the day, and may tbe BAPTIST I RxrutOTOB and Tennessee Baptists ever be de-

ivarad from the fkude that mar the peace of Zion i hinder her prosperity.

; Binoa a short time after I came to Kentucky I have rpreaohing to the same church. I be ve seen many enraging obanges. A number of men who were

oonsldered "hard oases" have become active Hktirab members. Contributions to missions have

increased. Interelt In education hae rapidly On tbe 12th Inst, wa closed a wonderful

i f . There were 86 additions aad 88 baptised. I are enjoying a season of refreshing fr.)m on high. 1 iia praised. W. B KCTUaxui.

U t w t l Bew«f«. »4eani from 1 Ohroniolee nfUi. 9, that beoanse

I stunblad U u a put forth his hand to steady , ior bis ofltoioueness. He was w

one Of the two oustodane to remove the ark. He oould have stsadied the ark by holding the«bandlec. but be rashly laid bands on tbe ark itself, which was forbidden by the Lord even to the priests.- It was an Instance of a man with little authority assuming great prerogative.

We have many Ussae in these latter days. Be-cause of some prominence in their litUe spheres they preeume to Uke charge of great matters entirely out* side Uie liffliU of their sphere. If the oxen stumble at tbe bead of the march of progress they rashly lay hold of the ark to steady it. They rush In where angele fear to tread. They Ignore tbe duly appointed authorities and means to remedy evils, and rashly preeume to manage the ease themselves. They rail at dignltiee having the matter in charge. Michael was mora respectful to the devil, for he brought no railing accusaUon against him, but said, "The Lord rebuke thee," and then waited for the Lord to do it.

But these Usias think the Lord too slow, and bis appointed meaoe InsutDclent. Tbe chance has oome, in their estimation, to distinguish themteUas as men of resource and pluck. So they rush forth out of tbe rank and file where they belong and aiiume a command for which they never were designed.

They raiee the hue and cry and lead tbe mob in the streete to wreak tbe vengeanceof lynch law. They raise the alarm in private circles, in tbe pulpit, in Associations, in Conventions and in the newspapers, that the oxen have etumbled at Brown and Louisville, and they lay hold of the University and tbe Semi-nary to steady them. They do not remember Uua ' s fate. Brown University and Louisville Seminary have duly appointed men to attend to their affairs, and they need no oBloious Unas.

It is better far to live and die unknown ouUlde our little circle than be notorious as a modern Usia..

T h e Whitsitt Gontroveray. Much as I am averse to even appear as a seeker of

notoriety through the types, yet I am constrained as a layman to offer a line or so about the " WhiUitt controversy," as it is termed.

I have been a naember of a Baptist church since the fall of 1842, when I wae baptised in the Cumber-land River by that noble man and devoted pastor of the First Baptist Church of Nashville, Tenn., Dr. R. B. O. Howell. In my long axperience nothing of late hae aiore ^ o n s l y exeraleed and occupied my thottffbte than what Is now termed the "Whiteitt con-troversy."

My object is not now to make any epecial comments of my own, but having read the views of Brother W. C. Grace in your Issue of tbe 23rd Inst. I felt live saying that I believe, after reading many articles from varions hreUiren, Bro. Grace's suggestions are to my mind tbe most logical, the most conmrwUive and the mott ChrittkmUke of any short article I have yet seen and read; and I ardently hope and pray that the tpirit of that appeal may be the apirit of the State Convention soon to assemble at Fayette-ville. Bro. Grace, now. It seems, halls from Bast Tennessee (Sweetwater), but 1 Uke it he is the same good W. C. Grace whom I used to know as pantor of the Columbia church. I presume I am In tbe same category of perhaps nine out of ten, possibly of nineteen out of twenty, of t h j 120 000 or 130 000 Baptists of Tennessee who have not «Mn read in con-teeuUei lines and pages tha "historical" matter furoisbing the basis. It »eems, of the recent essays and criticisms, finding expression 1& various ways in different directions.

For this reason, I for one (at the present, at least) refrain from offering any special views of my own. I feel, however, that it is altogether safe, and I believe Judicious, to commend tbe Umelff views of Bro. Grace to tbe Baptist hosts of Tennessee.

T h e R Y . P . U . The Baptist Young People's Union of Tennessee

will have ite annual Convention in the First Baptist Church, Nashville, beginning Monday evening, October IStb, and closing Tuesday evening, the 19tb. It «i;lll ba remembered that the first meeting, for or-ganisation, was held in Chatunooga last September. At that inltUl meeting a Constitution and By-Laws were adopted and officers eUcted. Tbe Constitution adopted provided for a representation of three dele-gatee for every twenty membere of a Young People's Society, or major fraction thereof, and tha same number of delegatal for every fifty members of a cburob where no young people's organlaatlon exists. It is axpeoMd that several Unions will have their full repreeentalioB presut, and as considerable progress has been made In the work of organliaiilOB, It Is likely there will ba eaveral tliMf M itiiay p i ^ eat as last }Mr at t t e

U of flw . "

m a y b e esonrsd on.account of tha Oeoteonlal and the difficulty of providing free entertolnment under present conditions in Nashville, it was decided by the Union that in meeting here each delegate would de-fray their own local expenses of board, eto. This can be secured from 11 per day and upward. Bev. W. 0. Golden is Chairman of the Local Committee on Entertainment, and will be glad to supply further information on this point. For those in Baet Ten-nessee who wish to stop off at Fayettevllle for the Sute Convention, arrangemenU can be made by ad> dressing either Rev. W. C. Golden at Nashville, or B. H. Rolston, Chatunooga, who is Seomtary of the Sute Union.

ProfiU of Whitsittlun. It is said to be an 111 wind that blows nobody any

good. Can Whltsittlsm be an exception to the rulef Let us see.

Dr. WhItoiU railed the row In tiie Baptist family, and It seems bal endeavored to turn our afBlctions into dollars to bis own account. Be claimed tobave a valid defense to the charges preferred against him. Instead of making that defense through our denomi-national papers, whose columns were open to him, and whose pages bad been paid for by the people, be chose rather to write a book on t^e lubjcct, for which be cbargei a dollar, and has actually copyrighted the bonk.

It will be remembered tbe projected appearance of his book was proclaimed In lensatlonal tones from Virginia to Texas through both the religious and secular Journals, a magr i/Uxnt advertittfnmt, and all the Baptist people urired to luipend tbi«tr Judgments until they bad an opportunity to read hie book. And when the book appeared we were again, in effect, urged to longer suspend our Judgmenta till we could raise a dollar to pay for the book. In other words, it does look as though our people are actually called on to pay Dr. Whitsitt a dollar each to make bis personal defense; or rather pay Aim a dollar for ac-cording him be privilege of making Ms defense; or rather that all the people be allowed the privilege of paying him a fee for defending htrntt^.

Happy magician—coining troubles into gold! Wonderful achievement—transmitting sorrow Into dollars I Bnt woe to him who maketh profit out of the distresses and afflictions of ZIon.

J . H. BOKlf AM. Fayettevllle, Tenn.

Are W c Loyal Bapti i t^ I am one of the few ministers in the Sonth who have

been silent on the " White U «uestion," and I hope that my presumption in speaking now will be for-given. I believe that Dr. Whiteitt has made some mlsUkes. I do not agree with him in the conclu-sions to which bis historical research has led him, yet I am opposed to tbe efforte which are being made to have him removed as President of our Seminary. Tbe Southern Baptist Convention has elected trus-tees, which alone have tbe right to control tbe facul-ty of that iostitution. Every demand maife for them to remove tbe president is an insultto their manhood and Christian patriotism. Every such effort pre-sumes that these trustees will reuln as president an unsound, unworthy man. Since the Convention has given them authority to act, is it not disloyal for churches, Associations and Conventions to take tbe matter into tbelr hands and "dictate," "resolute" and "demand?"

Even his enemies believe that Dr. Whiteitt la a Christian gentleman and a consecrated man, and I. for one, believe that if he thought it best for (he Sem-inary for him to resign he would do so. Then why reflect on his manhood and demand that be ebali do that which he does not believe to be right?

When our SUte Convention meete. If resolutions similar to those offered by other bodies are read I believe they should be tabled and leave tha trustees free to act ae they think best. Why alienate our brethren and bring ditlsion that can only do harm?

If we are loyal Baptiste let us attend to our own business, and let the Southem Baptist Coaveation and the trustees' of tbe Seminary do the same.

Nashville, Tenn. —I have Just closed a maeting of great power at

B r a d s h a w , Giles County. Many of the old servante of Christ said It was the most spiritual meeting that was ever held there. People attended the eervlces from a dUtance of eight or ten mUee. There were 10 additions to the cburob. Old Roubles w«e burled, and men came to tbe altar and embraced each other that had not spoken in a longtime. Some who were not members of the church were among the number. I have served this church five years, yet the cburob did not want me to have any help. So I did all the preaching, save one or two ewmons, with tbe above multe. In point of spiritual power this wae one of the best meetings I ever held. Thank God there has not been a single failure In my work this year, and I have held seven meetings God blees the dear old BAPTIST AND REFLKOTML WUl it never get ite growth?

youth, and not one who Is full of "de-lusions" and "Ideals" in spite of age and experience.

There Is much Irrelevant matter In the brother's reply to which'I shall not refer, btit strike the point at once. Observer says the Hardshdls have been ••Ideal missionaries," but that he ••never heard of their putting thdr ideas into practice." Then I would say the •' Gospel Mlssloners " are un-like ttw Hardshdls In that they are not "ideal misstoeorto," but jmietteol mMmarto. Now, my brother, you admit that an Idea exlste only In mind or theory, and you claim that these Hardshdls bid entertained this Ideal ••plan for thue conducting missions' even "long before It was dreamed of by T. P. Crawford." As we caa only know the ideas hdd by nwn or bodies by their acts or words, and inasmuch as you admit that these HardsbdU have never put these Ideas Into acte. will you please tell us where they ever expressed them In words prior to the "dreams of Crawford." I do not maaa aa Isolated case here and there, but aa expression of the denomina-tion. Show us one Hardshell Assopl-atioa that ever adopted or gave ex-pressloa to thU "ideal plan," or a •lagle diurch that expressed this Idea la words, or a Hardshdl paper that •ver advocated this ••theory of con-ducting mission work" prior to the ••dreams of Crawford."

Now, my brother, I got the light wanted on the other question—an ad' mission that they had aever done any thlng-now please show us that the Hardshdls have hdd and advocated this "Gospd Mission" theory all the

years. We would like to know if there is an older paator in point of service In the rank! in Tennessee. We think that a short sketch of Bro. Moore's life will be Interesting.

He was born In |[orth Carolina, October 17. 1825; moved to Tennessee In 1832 Hia father died when he was about twelve years old. His mother was left without means, and the chll dren had togo towork atonce, thus pre-venting Bro. Moore from having the advantage and blessings of an ear y education. He was converted in 1846, and therefore went to preachin " shortly after that. He has heed preadiiag about 52 yeare. Recently Bro. Moore •tood in the beautiful grove on a spur of the Cumberland Mountain near where he was converted and preadied to a large congregation of people. Think of the memories that must have pasted through his mind as he stood before thoae people and thought of the same conditions that surrounded him more than a half century before.

He was married early In life, and the care and support of a family coming upon him still retarded and hindered his opportunlUes for educational advan-tages. He finally, however, left his famUy on the farm and went to Bur-rett College at Spencer, whldi was controlled by CampbeUltes. To use his own language, he says: ••! said to wife. You take care of the babies; I am going to ichool." "What, to a Campbdllteschool?"shesald. ••Yes," I said, "It Is all the chance for me as I Me. So here I went. The faoultjr was as kind to me as they could be. I acted as chaplain when the president was gone. It was talked In Baptist ranks that the CampbeUltes would get Bro. Moore. They did not. I thank God I came out a stronger BapUst, and, by the grace of 06d, a stronger preacher than I went In. icommeaoed to hold meeUngs. I finally bought me a little farm. I worked bard whea at home to hdp wife raise the children. They did not pay preachers then ia this country but very little."

Bro. Moore has preached for four dmrches the year round from two to twenty-five miles apart. He saysi " ta 18651 held a great revival ia Spencer ia which there were fifty oonvwrdons, among whom there were a great num-ber of Burrett College studente." Be also teUs of a revival that happened after lihe war In this same college halL It was then under the control of the Methodlste. He says: "Iprsaahedla the college hall oae Sunday alght. Oiie ^ouBff maa if ao more wM doa-t M . Alter the dlaaiMia I m a t

home with oae of the profsesors. A youag maw before ha returned weat out to aa old staad aear the college ttiat was fixed for public speaking to pray. While there he wae converted and began shouting. The professor said to me, 'Lst's go to the college; something Is wrong with the boys.* When we got there we saw that there was something right with them instead of wrong. Five or six boys were with him ia their alght clothes. I begaa to slag and pray. The boys went to thdr rooms, dressed and came back until I reckon all on the hill were out

kept singing and praying and talk-ing to them until there were seven of them converted that night."

Bro.'Moore says he does not know how many oonverte he has had under his preaching, nor how many baptisms he has adminlstsrsd. He relates that he baptised recentiy a lady eighty-eight years old, to whom be had been preaching more or less for the last fifty yeare.

Bro. Moore says: "Since I have Joined the church I have never been in a saloon; never saw a reel danced; never was In a theatre; never saw a deck of cards; never was in a play-party; never contracted a debt that I have not paid; never paid any security debte; never saw a time that I needed money that I could not ge«U: never had a charge preferred against me by a brother; aever weat out to be sampled as a preacher, always could get aU the preaddng todothati could do; never went off wlUi any rdlgious erase; never have been anything but a Baptist, and that from BaptUt prin-ciples. Thus I have lived a feeble Baptist preacher over fifty-two years and It gives me great pleasure now to know t h a t i have spent my life in HU servlee." Sorrows and tronbles, how-ever, came Into hU lUe as wdl as sun-shine, but they only drew him nearer the cross.

Bro. Moore in speaking of hU work says: " I give theee items of the imper-fect work that I have done in this oountry that it may encourage other young ministers to consecrate their Ives to the work of the gospel. God less the work of the Bapt i s t and

PMWB BDD woald twd to HTBL woundB, not to tMr them open; to build up, not to pull down. It may b« that there Bre lome who oare nothing for our work In thin State and who would perhaps rejoice H It Bhould KO to pieces, but we are not of that sort. Nor do we believe the great majority of our Tennessee Baptists are.

Brethren, this Whltsltt matter will settle itself gooner or later; but If the Baptists of Tennessee become divided and disunited again It will be many years, we fear, before they will occupy the vantage ground they do now ID accomplishing the Master's work. Our effort has been to save our cause In the Stote and prevent It going to pieces on the rooks of strife and division. We have lost sight of any man in the controversy and our oon-cern now is for our cause both in this Sute and also in the South. The cause is more than any man.

4. If anyone Imagines that we have no convic-tions on the subject he simply is mistaken. But our desire is to be a peacemaker between the two faotlons U possible. And we wanted to be In a position where we oould be such. It sometimes takes more courage not to speak than to speak. The truth Is, there has been most too much speak-ing out on the subject already by both sides for the good of our Master's cause.

P. S. It Bhould be stated that the above was written before reading the Ammean Baptitt Flag

of last week, and was not called out by the article in the Fla§. W6 shall have something to say In reply to that next week.

Easy to Sccttfc* The offer to give a watch premium for four

iBoaths clubs has proven very popular. A great ; nany have begun work and a number of watches tovB been sent. Oar object IB to put the paper into every Baptist family possible. Four months for 50 cents for new trial subsorlbers, and to any person who will send In a club of 22 new trial BttbscrlberB at SO cento each for four months will be given a splendid watoh for the work. The WBtoh IB a- gold-filled csBe watoh, good tlme keep-er, and will last for years. Never mind how we do it. The BAPHST AMD RBIXBOTOB must go into every home possible. You can have your choice of either a lady's or gentleman's watch. Now here is how to do It Take a neat, clean paper (we will send you samples free for the asking) and Bhow It to the people, telling them that the BAP-TIST AKD RSPLXOTOR IsB 16 page weekly paper; that it is a Baptist paper; It Is a paper for the homes; it Is clean, wholesome and helpful. Write the names plainly and send In the money and you will get the watoh by return mall. Addrese BAPTIST AND RINIEOTOB, NaBhTllle, Tenn.

A Few Words PcfsonaL Some good brethren on both sides of the Whit-

•Itt Ciontroversy have wondered why we have net tiBd more to say on that subjeot recently. In re-ply let UB say:

1. We have expressed ourselves upon the sub-ject In the past. We have said that we thought Dr. Whltaltt was mistaken both In his hiatorloal conclusions and in his manner of announclnff them. We have nothing to take back from what we have said, and we have nothing special to add to it.

2. Many of our readers are very tired of the ooiftroTersy and have thanked us for keeping It out of our oolumna as much as we have.

8, There are two parties In this State—B Whlt-altt and an antl-Whltaltt party—both of them strong, both earneat, both determined. It would have been very easy for us to stir up bad blood between these two parties and set the Baptista of Tennesaee at the throata of one another. But WB h»VB had our ahare of strife in the State. WB

. hBVB for some years been trying to get U ^ ^ e r Mid to Bopompllsh the great work which the MBB-^ r haa given us to do. So Instead of dellberataly Adopting • polioy which we knew would IIMNW dcnfuBlon and Birlfe and blttemoBB and BIIBD-

-JBcifA to pttrsuB B course whieh would aaakB for

Dr. W.P.Jones. It will bring deep sadness to many hearte to

learn that Dr. Jones died at his home in this city on SAturday, September 25th. He bad been nick only a fey days. He attended prayer-meeting on the prevloua Wednesday night, and was taken sick Thursday morning.

Dr. Jones was born in Kentucky nearly seven-ty-eight years ago. For over fifty years he WBB a oltlsen of Naahvllle, and had held various posi-tions of usefulness and lionor In the city, such BB President of the OUy Oounoil, member (rf the Stote Senato from the county, poBtmaster forelghtyears, Superintendent of the Tennessee Hospital for the Insane. At the time of his death he was President of the faculty of the University ->f Tennessee.

Dr. Jones had for many years been one of the most prominent Baptists of the city and indeed of the State. For nearly half a century he was an active member of the First Baptist Ohurch, this city, and was the senior deaoon in It. He was also atone time President of the Tennessee Bap-tlat Convention, and at the time of hia death was Prealdent of the Board of TrusteeB of old Union University and a member of the State Bi;»rd. In eaoh of these positions he was faithful and true. Every duty which devolved upon him he dis-charged with the utmost fidelity.

Dr. Jones waa a fine type of the Ohrlsttan gen-tleman, oourteous, courtly, dignified and gener-ous. He had convictions and he was not afraid to express them. But he always did so in auch B way as to retain the respeotof foe as well aa friend. We use the word "foe" in the sense only of Oppo-nent. We do not know that he bad any personal enemies. Every one seemed to be his friend. At least, he was the friend to every one. It seemed to be his delight to help others. We shall never forget a speolal klndneas he once did for us. Both the sot Itself and also the manner of doing It won our everlasting gratitude, which we are glad to take this ocoBsion to record. But this was only one of numerous such aota which he was oonstant-ly doing.

Bvery one who has preached at the First Bap-tist Churoh of this city will recall the stalely, dignified old gentleman sitting Just In front of him with his eyes fixed Intently iipon the speak* er and evidently drinking In every word drf the Bsmion. It was an Insplmtlon to praaoh to him. Hs was what might be oalledan eloquent llatener. Aad usually after the servloes B oordlal hand* shake and B kindly word ssBtirsd the prtsohar that his sermon had done good to at least one per-

thsirsdBBsdsy BlffhlhstoM his 4«ith Dr.

Jones attended prayer^mestlag, as was hlsous. torn, and led In the oloslng prsyer. I t Is said that thlB prayer was full of the tsndersst solicitude for the welfare of the ohurch and seemed tobreathe the very atmosphere of the borderland between earth and heaven.

His funeral on last Monday was attended by a large concourse of the members of the ohurch and other frlenda gathered to pay a last tribute to the memory of him they esteemed so highly. His pastor. Dr. Hawthorne, delivered a magnlflcent funeral oration, which we hope to publish next wAok*

All In all Dr. Jones was one of the noblest specimens of Christian manhood we ever knew.

FawwclL Belovtd Bnthrtu mnd SiiUn c/ Trntuute:—! have

decided to spend a few months In special study at the Chicago Unlveralty, and on leaving I de-sire to say several things:

1. Please allow me to expreasmy thanks for the continued kindness and patience you have ahown me. Your goodness and Hla graoe have made them pleaaant years In Tennessee. Whatever of good I have aocompllahed haa been beoause id Hla Infinite graceand your willing help. Many times have I felt like Bp^ lng and writing in detail of your acta of love, but so many of you have ahown me great kindness In so many waya and at so many times, I've felt unable to do It for fear of being partUU. My heart has gone out for this kindness, and now my prayer goes up to Htm tor His blessing upon you and all whom you love.

2. I desire to record my gratitude to Ood and to you for the evident progress made along the line of missionary and educational work. To one who has been up and down, through and through the State, as I have during the laat four years, this progress Is unmistakable. How my heart rejoices atthiai

And now, beloved, will you allow me to make B request Just here. Itlsthateveryoneof you who love the Master's glory wUl earnesUy strive to stand by our orj^lsed work, wltii Bro. A. J . Holt as Secretry of the State Board. If the plans and methods are not just what you like, will you not make the best of them until better and wiser ones are offeredr Will you do this for SU saker What possibilities lie before the Tennessee BapUste If they will Only pull U^etheranddo their level besti

3. Then will you not stand by your State paper, the BAPTIST AMD RBPueoroar Now, as I resign lay connection with It, will you let me say what I said before I had any official connection with It? I be-lieve It lsone(rf the best papers Inthecountry, and the mightlestlnfiuenoe for good among ua as Bap-tiste outalde of the preached word of God. What a mighty power, If it oould be put into every home! I believe it would pay the paatora a hundred per cent, if they would atrlve earnestly to thus get it iuto every family. You noble womenoan dosome far-reaching g o ^ by working Just here.

I believe Ood made Bro. E. B. Folk to be the editor of a Baptlat paper. I hope he will pardon me for saying In this public way what I feel In my heart aftor these yearn of acquaintance. My love and respect for him have grown atronger and strongBr through all of these days. I do not know a more thoroughly consecrated, oultured Chris-tian gentleman. His private life as a Christian and gsntleman has been a blessing to me. It Is given to few men to be so thoroughly unselfish, thoughtful and gentle. • Those who know him ON^ as an editor and public speaker do not know him.

4. I tvant to make another requeat with all the earnestness ol ny being. It Is, dear brethren, that you oease to agitate what Is known as the "Whltaltt Matter." This Is the first time I have written ons line on the subjeet. But I've bssn BU through Tennessee and several Soutiiera Btatos daring this ooatroversy, and I 'vskspt In touoh wHb tha leadlBg papers, and I am persaadsd there are, good sad true brsthren on both sidss who are grBsUj agitated and exolted. Uy heart has bsBB mads to blssd alinttOh of what I 'vs heard sad i ^ . Myeandld oonvlotloft Is t h i n Isao rMl gf^Dd ior all of Ihls diibati tNUag.i I w m Ml ksf i glvB the gifmBd CM

i t sy l b^you,firo. Ifiastes, for tiuHMaster'ssakB. not to brlngthls matter Into the State ConventlonT In my opinion It can only do harm and no good. Having had the honor of knowing you personally, Bnd hearing you preaoh, and knowing how riehly Ood has blessed your labors, I believe you to be a real Scriptural Baptist. I do not doubt It. And may I say to you that for three years I sat at the feet of Dr. Whltaltt and heard til of hla teach-ings, and havB alsd heard him preach, and I be-lieve him to be a real Scriptural Baptist, aa much aa yourseUr Knowing you both, and loving and respecUng you both, I believe Scriptural Baptists. I am confident W the irre^ maaa of our Baptist people oould only know lust what Dr Whltsltt IMm$ and tead^ they would ceaae their cry against him at once. Knowing him aa I do, I beUeve this.

I am confident the papers have done Dr. Whit, sitt an Injustice, not perhapa Intontlenally sa I telleve hla own pen has done him im Inj^^ce. Ohi It la BO eaay for us to make a alip with our Dens and our tongues. Who haa not d<me thia? ^5ow, brethren, for Chriafs -Ae will you not forbearT I ow put It on no higher ^ u n d .

5. Here is my last request, and I deem It the most Important. Will not each of you who have been redSmed by Hl-Pteoiousblo^ rtrive ea« . estiy day by day to be a personal soul-wlnnerT Will you do It for His glory and for the g o ^ of the iMt coes about youT And aa you do it may Hla richest blessings attend yP« home. " The grace of our Lord O ^ r t be with you all. Amen." W.Y.W.

In ThAt Which ii Lent.

Myr» Holbrook stood by the table

in the parlor In |ire«t doubt and

perp'e*lty. She had been walking

a good part of the afternoon and

vas very tired, BO tired that she

declared to herself that It would be

quite impoulble for her to walk

home. Besides, she had met with

an accident a few months previous

and was allttle lame in consequence.

She dreaded the walk very much.

Her last call had been on her most

Intimate friend. Carrie Stlmson, but

"the latter was not at homo, and the

maid bad left Myra In the parlor to

await her return. But Carrie did

not come, and It was already grow-

ing dark. Then It began to rain,

and Myra sprang up In alarm, for

this was the last straw. How could

she walk now? With hef fatigue

and lameness and the rain, it seemed

quite out of the quesUon. The

worst of It was, she had left her

pocket-book at home.

With an exclamation of Impatience

she walked to the window and

looked out into the rainy evening.

Then she walked back and atood

before the llitle square table.

"Shall IT" she said aloud.

A pocket-book lay on the stand

before her, and Myra had recog-

nl*ed It as belonging to her friend.

She picked It up, and still she hesl-

tated. „

, " I know Carrie would not care,

she said. Her hand was on the

clasp, but Btill she wavered. Then

she dropped It. " Whatam I aboutT

It would never dol" she said.

As Myra left the room and the

house, a young man entered the

parlor and picked the pocket-book

up from the table: When he saw

that It belonged to his sistar, he

whistled.

I was sure she would," he said.

«• Well, it's great to find one person

with tbecourage of her convictions.'

Then he walked to tho window

and watched the frail, HtUe flguro

limping »«»y through the rainy

twilight. Without further ado hs

secured his hat and aooompanled

. her to the oar. Young Stlmson had

.r tact, and It appeared the most aocl-

I f atntal meeting in the world.

On the way home he wry

^oughtful. more thoughUul than

» uMttlly found Morton Biimson.

whi-n he entered the little parlor

found his sistar thers, she

fed htm on bis immbrs aspect,

rhad Just o n M in and was Strug*

; hsr glot* .

••Oh, Mori," the said, "don't

look so brown. One would thinii

that the problem of the Universe

rested upon your head. Anybody

been here?"

*'Yes," he answered, uowly;

•• Miss Holbrook came in."

" Whatl And I missed herT Oh, dearl I did wanttoseehersomuchl

Well, did she have anything to

say?"

" N o , I didn't see her untij she

wss going, just as 1 was passing

the parlor door. 1 took her home.

" O h , you dldl Well, that's a

good boy. Only I wish you had pre-

vailed upon her to wait a litUe

longer."

•Carrie," he said, .suddenly,

"Thatglrl's abrlck. She has grit."

" I always theught you held smne

such opinion of her," his sistar an-

swered; " but what's the partlcuUr

evidence just now? Has she been

tolling you about her slumming?

That takes courage."

"No , " said Morton, a little short-

ly; "she did not mention her slum-

ming."

" O h , Mort,"8ald his sister, "how

about that money? Have you been

able to find any yet? You know

those people sail tomorrow, and If

we're going to pay them before they

go, we'll have to be about i t "

" I know," said the young man.

In a tone of despair; •'but I haven't

heard from Chicago yet. There s

no tolling how long 1 shall have to

wait."

"Oh , Mortr'-and the tone was

fuU of anxlety""lsn't there any

earthly place you could get the money?"

" I ve thought of every possible

and Impossible source," he said.

" It s no use. There's nothing to

do but wait. I was going to try to

borrow some down town thU even-

ing; but I thought bettor of It.

"Oh , couldn t you?" said his sls-

he said; " I 'm afraid we

must w ^ t . " • •By the way, Mort," said his

slstor, " how Is It you re home this

aftornoon? I thought you were

steadily engaged down at Cameron

A PhUIIps;" ^ ^

" I am," Bidd her brother; "but

they sent me out of town on a bual-

ness errand and toldme I could have

the rest of the aftornoon to myself.

If I wished It; then asked me to re-

port down at the office this evening.

So I'm going down now."

" D o n t you know anyone down

there who could lend you enough?"

asked Carrie. "No, I 'm afraid not," he said, as

he took his hat and went out. Evi-

dently he was anxious to escape

his sistor's loqultles and «ugge8*

Morton did not go home till ton

o'clock and went straight to his

room. As Carrie passed him In the

hall, »h« notioed that he was nerv-

ous and rather sxoltad. But It

was some time before she knew th«

exact cause.

The next morning, Morton Stlm

son's Chicago letter arrived, and

thers wss great relief In the Stlm

son houiehold. The littie Indebted

ness m m cleared in time. A little

later that dtty, Morton was going on

a business errand in the direction

oi Ih* hott* in^Mloh Myra H d

be suddenly resolved to ntop w d

teU her something. So he mounted

the steps and rang the bell.

" I wanttoteli you," he said, when

be was once inside, "what a fate a

littleactof yours saved m» from, l

suppose you don't know I aaw you

In our parlor yesterday."

"You saw met" and at the mem-

ory of her little struggle with her

coqsolence, Myra flushed a deep scarlet ,,

"Yes, I saw you, and was really

surprised that you didn't take the

money. I didn't think there was

anything wrong In doing so. I

didn't think you would hesitate to

borrow In such a caae. I was very

glad when you decided not to, how-

ever. It showed you were willing

to saorlfloe something forascruple.

Myra Holbrook liuahed a little

more deeply when she heard this

praise of what she coisldered a

tardily and unwillingly done duty.

"And that simple act of yours,

he continued, "saved me from a

oreat calamity. I needed some

money very badly last evening an

was on the point of borrowing t

from some money entrusted to me.

You know my business Is In tl-e

nature of collecting. Every Satur-

day night we men settle accounts

with Cameron & Phillips. Ithought

I could borrow this with perfect

safety, as I expected money to pay

It long before Saturday. But what you did just stopped me In time. I

never looked on It before as wrong.

Well, I was down at the ofBoe Iwt

evening and very unexpectodly

they asked me for a settlement

They said thst the firm wae In Im-

medUtoneedof funds. Mr.PhUlips

said he would j o up to the house

while I got It How i«th»t for a

narrow escape? What could I have

said If I had used any of it? Do

you see how you have saved me?

Myra Holbrook saw, and it is un-

necessary to spend time describing

her feelings. " D i d you suffer-

may I ask?-because you did not take the money?" ehe said.

"No , " answered Morton, "my

funds came this morning, and I was

in plenty of time. Even If It hadn t

been so, 1 oould still see what a

deliverance your act wrought for

roe. I simply argued this wsy: If

Miss Holbrook will walk home In

the rain before she will take five

oenta from an Intlmato friends

pocket-book, l oan stand anything

lefore I borrow a Urger sum from a

business acquaintance. I enw that

your honesty meant something."

"And atlll," "he murmured,

"fcome people say that honesty In

Ittle things does not ooMni."-'Om-

a mother wrltos: " I bad been an

Invalid for a long time aftor my girl

was born. The doctors seemed un

TbTetohelpme. I was Induced to

try Pe-ru-na, which cured me and

made me a sound, healthy and happy

woman. B y this time my daugh^r

used the Pe ru-nai

for her ever since.

Whenever she Is^

she catohescold,

or geto nervous,

or has any one of

the numberless

allmento to which , . .

girls are subject, I give her Pe ru-

na. She Is now sixteen years of

age, and has never taken any medl-

diie. She la well, beautiful and

happy, for which I glre Pe-ru na

pralM. My own health, as well M

my daughter's, I attribute to the

use of Pe-ru-na."

Dr. Hartman has lately written a

book devoted to the allmente pecul-

every woman should possess one.

We believe that our Government ahouid exerciie a moat 'iberal for-eign polity to thii Riant that ia Juat breaking the ancient ahacklea of auperatition that were upon it for •o many thouaand yeara. Tbe follow, ing article taken from a recent iaaue of the fortign Miuion Jmtmal givea a splendid condenaed hiatory of the laland kingdom:

BISTOBIOAL. While the hiatory of Japan rune

back Into the dim paat, little i« known of her until in 12»8. when the Venetian traveller. Marco Polo, wrote bia glow-ing aocount of "Jlpangu."

Portuffueae sailors entered in 1648, and with them miaaionarlea of tbe Roman Catholic faith These miaaion-arlea won many converta, but the Jap-anese becomlog auaplcloua of the Por-tuguese drove out the mlaaionaries, and with great cruelty killed many of the Cbrlitlans. Tbia brings ua to tbe year 1639; from that time Japan cloaed her door*, keeping out other nations, keeping out her own people.

In 18M Commodore P®rry, sent by tbe United Stales, began a treaty with Japan which was consummated in 1854. Treaties with other uationa quickly followed, and a new era dawned on tbe nation. Today Japan sUnds on equal treaty relations with all of the foremost elvlllssd natloDs.

Japan consists of four large islands, Eso, Nippon, Shlkoku and Klushu, and nearly four thousand small Islands lyiug In the Paciflc ocean east of China, Korea and Manchuria. There are eighteen aetlve and hnadiwds of extlnet volcanoes. Being so mountain, ous, only about ons-thlrd of the land Is arabls. BsauUful streams abouad. The forests are well wooded. There ere many powers. Fruits are much the sams as with us. Hnrsss, cows and dogs ars among ths domestic animals. The people grow rice, eorn, whsst, tobscoo, cotton, tea, peas, potatoes, etc. Goal nines are bsing sstsnslvely opened, and many oeeaa vssssls slop thsre now for eoal. Gold, sUver,

AlKCr vnCKQ LADY, iron.eopper and other minerals aboand. Ttoellmate is deiifrbtful. The people are of small sUture, very active, cleanly and polite, but very much »ivea to sensuality, debauchery and falsehood. society at first presents « pleaslvg appearance, (doser knowledge shows depths of iniquity and uncleanness unnamable. Japan has forty million InhabiUnU, and the island of Formosa, reeently ceded by China

to Japan, three million more. The ares of Japan Is about as Urge aa South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida combined.

GOVKRNMSMT. The government of Japan is said to be the oldest

on earth. One family has been on the throne for 2.400 years, and the present emperor Is the one hun-dred and twenty-second in direct line. For a time the military were very strong throughout the empire, and thoir head, the Bhogun, held as great power as, (ir greater than, the Mikado, the reigning emperor. The last Bhogun resigned In 1807, and the Mikado again came Into tbe full exercise of his rights ss rulsr, aldsd by hsads of the different clans. In 18IK) a regular parliament was established with members elsctad by ths people. The Mikado has his eablnst. The old systsms o( feudalism and caste baveLbesn done away, and freedom Is the heritage of the Japanese. The pvsseat govemmenlls similar to that of SafUtad.

BSLUnONB. I There are two old forms of religion in Japan,

Shlntolsm and Buddhism. Shintolsm Is the oldest, and consists In a system of neffations with ancestral hero and nature worship. Buddhism came from India, through China. It Is themore popular, though a man can be a Shintoist and Buddhist both. Budd-hism teaches enlightenment as the way out of trouble, and lays down moral precepts. There are in Japan 78 000 Buddhist temples, and 60,000 prlesU.and 112,-000,000 are given annually for these.

WONDBRFUb OBANOBS. Japan is in many respects a new country. Contact

witb foreign people, thouKht and inventions and Chrlstlaa truth have wrought wonderful changes. In the matter of education she has progressed wonder-fully. Over seven million children are In school. Attendance is eompulsory. Many high schools are all over the land, and ei'-ht universities with special departmenta. Telegraphs, telephones, railroads and postal service are found all over the empire. There are said to be 120 newspapers in Tokyo, the capital. Tbe Asabl Bhimbum (Moralng News) has a circula-tion of 100.000 daily. In all Japan it Is said that tiiere are 2,000 periodicals. Factories are springing up all over the coutatry. In Osaka there are elcbteen large oottoa factorlee and many other factories of various kinds employing thousands of men, women

children.

The American Episoopaliai s, The Ameri-can Presbyterians, and The American Beformed (Dutch) Church entered In IBM in the order named. The next year followed the American Baptist Missionary Union. These four were not to be relnforoed for nearly a dec* sde.

lime of Profin*s»-1872- M-Thsre had been one baptism in 1800, but the first church was organised in 1872 with a membership of nine natives. The

workinff force had now begun to increase rapidly. 1. 1869 The AmerlOan Board of Commissioners (Con-gregational) and The English Ohuroh Society had entered, and within five years five more bodies began work. By 1880 fifteen organisations were on the field, and by 1800 the number bad grown to twenty-seven. The excitement of the revolution having subsided, the Inquiring Japanese mind began to reach out after the wondere of the Western World. Japan was thus brought In doss contact with Christian thought, which fact was to bear luxurious fruitage In missions.
