the va»t IiIhIiiiiimi Mcjlth rauialutd in them, it whh 

found at Ki>9t!itu, iu Kopl, and hb« i plainly unscriptural to need 

ur|{ii . e:it. Joining » church is a matter of principle, 

not taste; of loyalty to Christ, not i-oncillation of loved 

ones. We are to follow Jemis, not ourklnfolks. Ho 

tiie correct expresoion is: " All regenerate members 

of the Ha I P family ought to join a church of Clirlsi." 

No one ought, under any circumstances, to join any 

otiifr. 

a. " We ore all stiivlng to reach the same plaw, 

heaven, aud it will not be asked us up there what 

church we Iteiongcd to down here." I am sure I can- 

not iêe iiow one could presume to speak thus unlc^ 

lie hud iiad a trip to heaven or a special revelation, 

yet many, many will make tlie assertion with as 

much asifurance and coinplaceney as If they spoke 

by the divine oracle. I'lils statement faliwly assumes 

that Christ j-et up no form of church himself, or if he 

did, lie does nut csre whetlier we follow him or not 

in tlie matter: or If he cares, it is not known in lieaven 

what we do down here, or if known, nothing will e%'er 

t« f-aiJ about it! 

It further falsely assumes that the only thing lo lie 

concerned about is our own salvation. But we are lo 

glorify God, and the only way to do this is to do as He 

says. We are to show the world the truth, and the 

only way to do it is to practice it ourselves. 

4 " 1 ho f^tiiirch rtfVHi not mivp, Hpiiop II malrM no 

dlllercnce what church you join, so you are sincere in 

your iielief." This is ouly a half truth, the worst of 

all falseiiood". True, the church does not save, hut 

there are other sufllcient reasons for J lining a certain 

kind. 

This fallacy re«tB upon three false as^-umptions. 

(1) That all churches are equally right In all things. 

(U) That whatever is not essential to one's salvation 

may l>« treated with indlflerence. (:t) That all that 

Is ueceseary to make an act right is for the actor to be 

sincere. 

If all churches are erfualiy right In ail things, they 

all have an cf|>jal claim lo the support of all men. 

But since no one can bea member of more than one 

churcii at a time, it follows that there can lie no 

church Ht all unles'i men neglect their duty toward 

all tbofl.> except the ones they Join. But all churches 

cttunot l>e ecpially right In all things, for if the doc- 

trines and practices of one be true. It neccessanly fol- 

lows that every other one Is false lu so far as it dlflers 

fiom It In thei-e respects. 

The heart that prompts to do only what Is necessary 

to be fâved, has no assurance of salvation lu GroliiiiltH everything

nityof his iiilhienareuts' ciiurchcs aud receiv- 

ing the Bible iu its entirety. " He that loveth father 

ur mother more than me Is uot wortliy of me." 

Theic is, to my mlud, just oue hindrauce now to 

the Baptist cause at Trac^- City, namely, the lack for 

a place to baptize. There are just two places to which 

Immerslonists cau resort without cumlng off the 

mouutaln. Tiie one, tue Company iHiiid, iuto which 

a great deal of lliih is dumped, maktug it unfit for 

baptismal purposes: tUe ulher, u small creek aliout 

oue mile from town. Od this latter place there must 

of uecessity be speui a causiderabie ujiuuui of lab'or 

before it is possible to use its waters fur this sacred 

rite. Three of the pastor duiug must of the work, 

spent abuut a day dumulug up, cleaning out aud put- 

ting iu a temporary pianK ilour iu tUe bed of this 

creek iu order lu have a ddceut place to administer 

the ordiuance of baptism. The church's greateat 

need, from a fluauclal standpaint, is mouey to put lu 

a baptistery. \V ho will give it? 

Now, theu, a closing word as tu llie splendid work 

being done by Pastor C. A. Ladd. Nerer iu my min- 

istry have I come acio^s a mau mure devoted to the 

Matter's work. 

TlieBtate It.iard acted wisalv in aonnivinir of th«

liiat tlie Btate BjsrJ will cjutiuus to Uelp this place. 

Bro. Ladd Is the man for Tracy City, and Tracy City 

is the place for liro. Ladd. it i^ temarkabie to see 

w hat a grasp lie hasou his pjuplo aud how much he 

is devoted to them. Moreover, ue has won the con- 

fidence and favor of tlie otiier deuomiuatluus, exuept- 

lug the Pharisaic Campbellltes, who are so much bet- 

ter than other Cnristlau {leupie lu this particular 

place, In their owu couceited opiuious, that it would 

be imjiossible for au augel to have fellowship with 

tiieiu unless he b»te theuamo uf a CAmpbeiilte. 

The great success of the recent meeting was due to 

seed sown by tlie personal work of the pastor in the 

homes of Traoy City. With Bible In baud, Bro. 

Ladd has gone into the home, and by reading tbe 

couviucing argument from God's Word, he has re- 

futed the errunejus doo'iriues iu the uiiuds of many 

(leople. While many have ackuowledged Baptist 

priuclples lu au open profeasion, yit there are many 

wuo, like Agrippa of old, are" almost persuaded." 

Those who Joined our ranks from ottxer deuomlua- 

tloiis during ilie meeting came through the personal 

wurk of the pastor, it was a delight to work for the 

salvation of suuls with a man of such cotisecratlou > 

and energy. And, too, lu him la tiie uost complete 

exanyile uf uuirelllshuess I have ever seen. He gives 

Gud tue glory foi all tue success uf his work, matters 

not how small or how great. Because of the peculiar 

reimluu that exists between Bro. Ladd and myself, 

kindled aud nourished lu our college days together 

tlie great interest I havo iu the Work at Tracy City

been Identtlled with Kaptist sll«lrB for years, was 

uuaulmoutl^ elected Freildent of the Convention, the

in February last. It will be remembered that Mr. 

Mallory retiponded to the address of welcome lu 

liOulMvllle a* our laxt Bouthern Dapliit (-onvention. 

Dr. A c. Davidson and Hon. It. E. Fettus were 

elected Vice preoldeuts of the Convention. 

During the tlrst day of the Convention Drs. F. H. 

Kerfoot and J. M. F'ro^t were iieard from in regard 

to the work nf their rfc»|iective Boards. Those of you 

who |{now these brethren need not to be told that the 

Convention was entertained. Of course Tennesseans 

know Dr. FroM. He Is also at home in Alabama. 

We were glad to bear from him and of his prosperous 

work. Dr. Kerfoot caught the Convention as be 

came t>«fore them In hU new capacity of Secretary of 

the Home Board. He made a masterful address on 

the grand huI ject of " iMliiHlons." He aud Dr. Frost

Dr. B. D. (iray, w ho wa» to have preached the Convention 

vermoM, being absent, Dr. W. J. Midlothlin 

was asked to preach. He selected us a text Matt. vi. 

10, "Thy will l>edone." The sermon abounded in 

tender patliOH, wise counsel and earnest appeal, and 

struck a deep epiritual note which sounded throughout 

the setslon of the Convention. 

Tiie reports of our dlll'erent Institutions were moit 

encouraging. Out of debt, Alabama Baptists now

Howard College and Judson Institute for Girls were 

never in a more prosparous condition. They are now 

asking for endowment, and plans are forming for this 

great work. 

One of the great spcecheiof the Cooveutlon was 

made by Dr. W. B. Crumpton, the former Beoretary 

of the Btate Board, who has taken up this work now. 

Prof. McUiothlin presented the claims of the Berninary, 

and asked for about 1700 for the Btudents' 

Fund. The Convention gave him over (1,000 In a few 

mluutes. 

Dr. Willingham was with us, and told of the great 

workof iôreign Missions. One of the most enthusiastic 

meetings of the Convention was on Thursday 

night, when Foreign Missions was discussed by him. 

The sfieeches throughout the Convention were on 

the line of hopefulneM. Alabama Baptists are now 

forgetting the things that are behind, and stnitoblog 

forward toward the things that are before. 

The Conveutiou determined to make next ye«r 

a great educational year, religiously as well as in<

BALTIMORE LETTER. 

I have beeu Intending writing you for some time, 

but an unusual press of engagements haa prevented. 

You have had an account of the Walnut-street, Louisville, 

Jubilee. It was a great occasion. Five pastors 

(four ex-pastors and the preseut pastor) were 

present and took part—Drs. Loilmer,Bpaldlng, Wharton, 

Warder and Eaton. I give them lu the order In 

which they served. Two of the pastors are dead— 

Drs. Bmlth and Everts. This great church In all Its 

history has only bad seven pastors. The membe^ 

ship now numbers 1,750. They have but recently 

beeu offered fI2r>,000 cash fur the superb old edifice. 

We also bad addressee from Drs. Mulllna, Frost, Barton, 

Tlcbenor and others. It was a peculiar experl. 

euce to stand before those people the first time lu 

twenty-five years. I recognized the minority of those 

still living at once, but sadly missed many loved ones 

long gone to their reward. I was the guest of Dr. 

Eaton, and enjoyed my stay at his home greatly. 

Almost as soon as I returned, the Maryland Baptist 

Union Association was held in this city with the 

Grace Baptist Church. It was a notable and Inspiring 

meeting. Dr. Kerfoot was present to represent 

the Home Mission Board, and did It grandly. He is 

evidently the right man In the right place, and a 

great future Is before the Board. Dr. Frost made a 

capital speech for the Buuday-school Board, and so 

did Dr. Rowland for the American Baptist Publica. 

tiou Bociety. Dr. Mullius also spoke. Dr. tirgory's 

report showed the work to be going forward In Maryland 

most encouragingly. And so with the report of 

Miss Annie W. Armstrong, whom I find to be a tower 

of strength among Maryland Baptists. Uou. Joshua 

Levering was the presiding olHi^r, with Rev. H. 

Wayne Smith as Secretary. It was my first attendance 

upon the Convention and I was greatly pleased. 

I bad a most important baptism at Brautly Church 

Just one week ago. It was that of Rev. Henry J. 

Koehler, a sub-deacon and Capuchlu Monk of the Roman 

Catholic Church. In ^ptember he wrote me 

that he was greatly worried about his spiritual condition 

and seeking an Interview. Thia was held after 

some correspondence, and I was greatly Impressed 

with the reasons he gave for his change. His faith 

was first shaken In the doctrine of the infallibility of 

the Pope; secondly, in tbescripturalnees of the Auricular 

Confessional: thirdly. In tbedotrlniinf tr*nii.aiit>. 

stantlation, and lastly, on account of the superstitions 

of the church. After a meeting with the deacons he 

was presented for admittance into the church. A 

great crowd was present to hear his address of thirty 

minutes, and It was a telling one, moviug all bearto. 

He is a German by birth, an educated man, 52 years 

old. He was an inmate of the Convent of the Little 

Bisters of the Poor, this city. He presented me with 

a copy of The Gorles of Mary," which seems to be a 

sort of Couvent text book, and he also presented me 

with his " rosary," as souvenirs. While I was pastor 

in Louisville twenty-five years ago I baptized an exsister 

of charity, besides some other Citholics, and I 

need uot say I am fond of the work. God sp^ the 

day when the clouds of superstition shall be lifted 

from the minds of all who are now under the domination 

of Rome so they can see "the true Light 

which llghteth every man that cometh into the 

world." M. B, Whabton.

COLUMBIAN UNIVER8ITV. 

It may be of interest to many of the reilders of the 

Baitibt AND Rkflectok to see a few facts In regard 

to this institution of learning. 

It Is a Baptist school and was founded In 1821. In 

Its early work Lather Rice, the companion of Adoulram 

Jbdsou, was a very prominent factoir. It Is a 

iitile singular that Its chief benefactor, Mr. Corcoran, 

was an Kplscopaliau. This may partly explain the 

fact that a few of the leading professors are of that 

faith. However, the President of the Unlvenlty and 

the majority of the trustees must be Baptists. 

A member of the board told me that at one time It 

was lu fair way to pass from Baptist control, but by 

prompt aud heroic action It was forever secured toour 

deuomluatloii. 

Last year of the 100 students lu the (Jollege proper, 

only 17 were Baptists. 

Ita chief Hohoola are located at the corner ofFlf. 

tceuth aud H itreets, In the heart of the cityi cue 

square from the White House. The medical aud 

dental •ohooli have a building not ftir away. 

The Uulvenlty haa a large offloe building on Fifth 

Btreet, ertoted with endowment funds. The nnte 

bring a much larger Income than the Intercet on the 

Inveatmeut. 

The number of profeseora aud leotureni la 178, many 

of whom am eminent In their line. Mauy ipeolatlita 

realde here and have other ismployment. This ilvea 

the Unlvenlty rare opportunlly to eeoura the ablest 

Ulent. For Instance, Judge Harlan of the Supreme 

Court of the United States lectures three times a 

week to the law students. X heard him laat night on 

"The Constltutlon"~a rare privilege. Only thla laat 

week Dr. Sterrett, our prafeesor of psychology, favored 

our class with thiee Illustrated lecturee by eminent 

specialists. One of these was by Dr. McDonald of the 

Bureau of Education, who spoke on Experimental 

Psychology. He had some fine Inatrumente present 

from the Department and showed us how to use them. 

We also went to Cbevy Chase, foqr nillee out, to vlalt 

the finest laboratory for thla study lu the world. We 

heard a lecture by Dr. Gatee, whole punuing reeearch 

work here and will Isaue a book soon. Thia book Is 

a waited with interest by students of the New Psychology. 

Dr. Kerfood Bhute of the medical school and an author, 

gave us a valuable lecture on the brain and Ito 

relation to the mind. 

President Whitman lectures to the College and Law 

School on Political Science, using his own eylabus. He 

also preachee twice each Sunday In Philadelphia. 

B. N. Haws of Jonesboro, Tenn., a former student 

of Carson aud Newman, gets the degree of A. B. from 

the College here this year and also takee the fint year 

In law. He ranks high. 

The Calvary Church baa a covenant meeting on 

Tbunday evening preceding each fint Sunday. Thla 

week, perhaps 400 memben were preeent and stood In 

a body while the pastor read. In Impressive aooenta, 

the church covenant and concluded with a fervent 

prayer. It is an Impressive scene. My wife and I 

stood with this host for the fint time. Following thie 

on Sunday, always comes the celebration of the Lord's 

Supper. 

I hope that Bai^'ikt and Reflbctor Day may be 

a great success. J. T. Hendbrson. 

THIS AND THAT. 

Pastor J. L. Dance has had a great meeting with 

his Piedmont Church, nearly doub.Ing the numben 

and strength of the church. He was assisted In the 

meeting by Rev. J. F. Hale. 

Pastor J. M. Walters is being assisted In a good 

meeting at Alpha by Rev. J.'B. Bundren. 

On the fint Sunday In the month the new meetinghouse 

at Beulah was dedicated. Paator W. O. Hale, 

by request of the church, preached the dedication 

sermon. Dr. Ktrly preached a flne eennan^.to t&e 

afternoon. Bni. Hale has done monumental work at 

Warrensburg and Beulab. The new meetlng-houae la 

" a thing of beauty," aud was dedicated with appropriate 

ceremonies and fitting servlcee, the latter Including 

two scriptural sermons and three goapel collections 

lu one day—one of them a free-will ofTerlng 

of some $16 to missions. The Beulah Charoh has a 

fine field for labor and a hopeful future. 

I bear good reports from Dr. J. M. Phillips and the 

Oak Grove meeting. His pulpit at Mosey Creek was 

supplied last Sunday by the writer and Prof. J. M. 

Burnett.

All of (he larger boys attending our 

Sunday-school have lieen prohloited 

from attending by thelrsohool teachers, 

but i|uite a number of new girls have 

come In, so we still have about forty, 

,My heart longs for my boys, aud I do 

trukt that something may occur to 

overthrow this unjust law. In the 

meantime we will work as hard as we 

can for the girls. In our knlttlugclass 

we have now about sixteen pretty, 

bright girls, aud have a Bible lesson 

with them every Saturday afternoon. 

The other two Sunday-schools are 

growing every week; and we are now 

ahklng Ihe Lord to open tousap'ace 

III the village for a fourth. The priests 

have ((ulckly put a stop to all we have 

uiidert:(keu outside of the city heretofore, 

but we are not at all discouraged, 

I had the material in my mind for a 

long letter, but you will let me off with 

a short oue this time, will you not? I 

have the picture of the orphan children 

at Chofu. aud some interesting things 

about their lives which I heard while 

with them this summer aud stored up 

for 3 on, I will send them In my next 

letter. Vou will want to know all 

akiout that llrst Sunday in the new 

nxim too, s. 1 shall have a great deal 

to write you next time, I would that 

I might send a message to eacn lovea 

worker of the Vouug South. I wieb 

you could kuow how much 1 love you, 

aud if 1 do, does not our Father much, 

much more? I do thank Him for letting 

me stay lu Japan so lung; and no 

for this lovely room which you have 

helped build for me lu addition to your 

other work. It is a splendid work you 

are doing. May Uod help me to use 

well your gifts! 

1 have frc(|ueutly beeu moved to 

tears by your little notes. These numbers 

of the Young South page are to be 

carefully prmrved In the YoungSouth 

scrap book. So you see if I should live 

to grow old in Japau, I shall never be 

able to forget you. The dear little blind 

girl of Knoxvllle, who has been so much 

Interested, I do want to thank especially. 

Her letter so touched my heart, 

and I waut to say to her that she shall 

seme day see the result of this manifestation 

of the spirit of her Savior. It 

may bo tiiat in a year or two I may 

meet and thank her aud many of you. 

It is a juy tliat I sometimes look forward 

to. 

Shall I say anything about cards this 

time? I am always remiudingr you of 

them. Weil, lustead, I will remind 

you of Uhrlstmas, aud you know how 

paper dolls aud pretty caids help then. 

I have watted aud hoped for one more 

MiJSON PIOTURH HOMJ, 

but none comes, aud we have used the 

old ones over and over. I do wonder ' 

what theSunday-schoolsdo with them. 

I will wlliingly pay the postage ir some 

school will agree to send them to me 

every (luarter. But that sounds very 

much like begging. Can't a missionary 

writ* a letter without begging? I'll 

stop lisfore another waut pops Into my 

head. But thera is another and I 

must write It. I do with all my hMrt,, 

waut your prayern, that I may ha given 

strength (((Ual to every nssd ot this, 

work, and that ttiss* souls w« an trylug 

to tralu may shine as Jewels In 

"Mis oruwn of iôlclcg" when He 

oomath. May Ha blw yoii, sach and 

every one, in your homes, your schoollife, 

your work fur missions above all. 

I pray that He will save the souls of 

each precious Young South worker.

after you iiave read It or heard It read. 

How lovely it Is to know exactly atiout

growing stronger every day. Don't 

forget to pray constantly for her and 

her household, and her work. And the

sure you will send them quickly, so 

she will receive them by Christmas. - 

It takes a whole month, you know, for 

a letter to reach her. 

What school will respond to her wish 

for a "picture roll?" Write me at once 

so too many may not go. It will take 

a good deal of postage to be sure, but 

wiiat school will not cheerfully give 

that much to the Master? I would like 

to say ever so much more about her 

dear letter aud iier dear self, but your

The Unl /erslty at Jackson is to have

of Bro. T B. Tigrett of Hall's. He is a 

noble Baptist and a worthy son of the 

lamented S. K. Tigrett, whose Held of

such a wise leader that I iltid great 

pleasure lu following him. He held 

the love and confidence of his churciies 

as few paktors. Last nlgiit I preached 

fur Bro. Mitchell at this place. We liad

Care of Lamps, 

G. M. SAVAGE. 

Many hounekeepera think there 

nothing to learn about Ihe care of 

lamps; but if the little details here 

mentioned are adhered to,(there will be 

a great dllTerence in the light. 

Fint, a lamp must be cleaned aud 

fllled every moruiug; the burners 

ahoQld be olcauied once a week, aud 

the beat way la to bull them in water 

in which Gold Du^t Washlug Powdtr 

haa been added. Put a ttaapoonful lu* 

to a quart of water, and boll ten min« 

utea. The flues t-hould be put In a pan 

ofcoldi water, and heated alowly until 

they boll, then take ofT aud let them 

cool gradually—this toughens the 

glan.
