CURRENT TOPICS. 

THE Supreme Court of Illinois rendered 

a decision last week, the effect 

' ofwhich'lt~is sald^'willljetobreak up 

the whiskey trust, at whieh all good 

men will rejoice. 

IT is a matter of congratulation 

that the Legislature of Illinois recently 

declined to pass a bill allowing races 

- it that State with betting upon theiu. 

The effect, it is said, will IK- to kill 

racing in Illinois. If racing ean not

ONE of our worthy City Counciliuon 

in Nashville, it MXMIIS, has been in the 

habit of getting drunk. Feeling disgraced 

at his conduct, his constituents 

signed a petition to the council requested 

it to call for his resignation. This, 

however, was refused, not j»n the 

ground that lie did not get drunk -that 

was candidly admitted but on the 

ground that plenty of other people get 

drnnk, among them other members of 

the council. We confess our inability 

to make any comments suitable to the 

occasion. 

THE Legislature of Tennessee has 

filially adjourned .*im ilii. after pass- 

ing all tl»e bills for which it was 

called together in extra session. It 

was mueh regretted by many, however, 

that it did not Ineludc in the 

appropriation bill an appropriation 

for the Centennial. Strenuous efforts 

were made to have such an appropriation 

included, in amounts varying 

from $.100,000 to WO.OOO, but every 

proposition of the kind met with defeat, 

though usually by a small majority. 

The managers of the Centennial 

have decided, however, that it 

shall "be held anyhow; and they- are 

taking earnest steps to secure popular 

subscriptions sufficient to assure its 

success. They hope to raise about 

$100,000 In Nashville and to secure 

larger or smaller amounts from various 

other cities and counties'hf the 

State. If undertaken at all, we lu>i»e 

that for the reputation of our State 

the Centennial may be made a great 

success. 

THE pope has recently Iteeii making 

overtures to the Church of England to 

come back to the mother church. As 

a starting point In that direction, he 

proposes that his Kuglish brethren 

shall repeat tlie following prayer: "O 

blessed Virgin Mary, mother of (iod 

and our most gentle queen and mother, 

look down in mercy upon England, 

thy 'dowry,' and upon us all who 

greatly hope and trust in thee. By 

thee It* was that Jesus our Savior and 

our hope was given unto the world; 

and Ho has given thee to us that we 

might v hope stlll more. Plead for 

us, thy children, whom 'thou didst 

receive and accept at the foot of 

the cross. #0 sorrowful mother! intercede 

for our separated brethren, that 

with us in the one true fold they may 

be united to the Supreme Shepherd, 

the Vicar of thy Son. Pray for us all, 

dear mother, that by faith fruitful In 

good works we may all deserve to see 

and praise God together with thee in 

our heavenly home. Amen." To every 

one who will repeat this prayer ihc 

pope offers an indulgence of 300 days. 

• It-really looks to us like the pope had 

| gone clean crazy. In making a prop- 

1 osition for union, he has called at- 

| lention very sharply to two of the 

i main |>oints of difference between him 

j ami the English Church—Mariolatry 

; aud indigencies. In this latter |>oiiit 

I especially, he has reminded us vividly 

of the days of Luther. It was this 

very |H>inl whieh gave occasion for the 

rise of Luther against the Church of 

j Home. It Is better, however, that the 

; pope should have put his worst foot 

| forward first than that he should have 

i done so last. For the fad remains 

that he has a cloven hoof, which will 

I sooner or later show itself. 

A FEW weeks ago two men got into 

a light at the Capitol here iu Nashi 

vllle, and one of them drew a pistol 

aud fired at the other, misting him. 

' but shooting through the head an innocent 

bystander, Mr. John W. Kirk 

i of Henderson. Superintendent of Pris- 

' ons of the State, who died shortly afterwards 

from tile effects of the wound. 

Commenting upon these facts, the 

r T^tvanon "Trtbmre'tftwetrifMld? 

j "The killing of John \V. Kirk in 

Nashville last week is a fearful object 

; lesson t>n the folly of carrying pistols. 

A good man without any warning and 

without any cause shot down, a life 

taken, a home made desolate, children 

I orphaned, and all this caused by the 

) criminal act *}t earrylng a pistol. Our 

law- on this practice should be made 

more strtngent and more forcefully 

executed. It is a dangerous habit aud 

one that should be stopped at all hazards." 

To all of which we heartily 

agree. Hut did it «'ver ocetir to the 

Tribune that these pocket pistols are 

not the cause of one-tenth as many 

deaths as the saloons in our cities and 

i towns? They may kill more rapidly, 

I but no more surely; nor do they kill 

j near- so jnan>v - And ^yeL we pa*A 

• stringent 'laws against pistols and 

j give lieense to saloons to kill all they 

can. We should be glad to have the 

Tribute, or any other of our secular 

papers, explain to us the difference 

f in principle* between a pistol and a 

saloon. The only difference is one of 

I degree, and the saloon is ten times - 

• nay, a thousand t hues— the greater evil. 

Pass laws against pistol carrying: enforce 

them with the greatest strictness; 

they are needed in the interest of hu- 

: man lives. But do uot at the sainetime 

i give license to the saloons to r«un day 

: and night with open doors. We Were

I but for the money back of the saloons. 

| which is sufficient explanation of the 

iiicausisumuy on the pari ,of Wgfc. 

pie. We should say that we have no 

personal reference to the editor of the 

Tribune. We do not know how he 

stands upon the question. We hope 

that he is on the side of the right. 

Unfortunately, however, the eyes of 

the editors of many of our secular 

papers seem to have been blinded upon 

this subject by the god of this 

world. 

How the Bible Was Written and 

Preserved. 

In Two Paper*. - >'u. 1. 

UV Pltor. A. H BAVCK, l.l-I'., r.K-S., 

The oldest books at present known Ui j 

us have come from Egypt and Babylonia. 

In 1'Vypt they were generally 

written U)K)» papyrus, in Itabyloula j 

upon clay. The papyrus was carefully : 

cultivated, and no less than eight dif-j 

fervnt kinds of paper were made from i 

it, of varying quality, the eighth being ' 

too coarse for writing purposes and 

consequently used only as a wrapper. 

The cultivation was protected by law, 

and when the protection ceased to be 

necessary after the introduction of linen 

paper the papyrus plant became extinct 

in the Egyptian part of the Nile. 

The paper was made by cutting the soft 

pith of the stalk intoslices, laying them 

crosswise one over the other and then 

uniting them by means of pressure. 

In Babylonia papyrus was scarce 

while clay was plentiful, ami clay was 

accordingly employed as a writing 

material. It was molded into tablets 

. oLmciouttiip,, but usually of oblong 

shape, and while it was still soft the 

cuneiform characters of Chaldjea were 

impressed upon it with a reed or metal 

stylus. In Babylonia the tablet was 

then baked in the sun: in Assyria this 

was done in the kiln, holes being lirst 

drilled through the clay to permit the 

escape of any superfluous moisture. 

'l'ilc characters impressed by the reed 

or stylus necessarily consisted of marks 

resembling wedges, hence the name of 

cuneiform or .'•wedge-shaped," which 

has been given to them. With such 

writing materials it was impossible to 

• l ira* a circle or curved liner curves 

therefore became angles, one end of 

the line being thick while the other was 

thin. For writing on papyrus, on the 

contrary, a reed pen and ink were needed: 

and the characters. awordingly 

tended m be^"curvilinear instead of 

angular: "Ttft'' use of papyrus wasgenerally 

reserved for the hieratic or 

running hand of ancient Egypt, 

hieroglyphic or pictorial characters 

being engraved on stone, metal" or 

wood. For cursive writing the pen 

and Ink were better adapted. 

Clay aud papyrus, however, were not 

exclusively employed, the one in Babylonia. 

the other iu Kgy pL There are 

nortecs in euneifor literature which 

shows that papyrus was also used as 

well as clay, though the damp climate 

of Babylonia and Assyria have prevented 

any fragments of it from surviving. 

In -Egypt leather or parchment ] 

was used at times: indeed, we hear of j

was written on a prepared-skin. The

our era was Incorrect. 

AH kinds of literature were represented 

both in papyrus and clay tablets. 

History ami geography, science 

and romance, letters and accounts, 

legal dced.s theology and philology all 

alike founil a place in them. They 

were not only the books of tbe ancient 

Oriental world, they were also its 

letters, its legal documents and lis 

note ttooks. - Tliey weiv su»r..l iu libraries 

and archive chambers, or deposited 

iu great earthenware jars which 

were the equivalents of our modern 

safes. 

How papyrus could be employed for 

the purpose of correspondence we can 

easilv understand, but that clay should 

have been commonly used for the same 

purpose would a shyrt time ago have 

been thought incredible. And yet we 

now know it to have been a fact. One 

of the largest and most important collections 

of ancient letters ever brought 

to light is that which has been found at 

Tel-el-Amama in Upper Egypt; it consists 

entirely of clay tablets inscribed 

with cuneiform characters and written 

for the most part in the Babylonian 

language. The letters were .sent to the 

Egyptian court from the kings of Babylonia 

and Assyria, of Mesopotamia, 

Cappadocia and northern Syria, as 

well as from the governors and "protected" 

princes of Canaan, and they 

belongto thecentury before the Exodus. 

They prove that at that period the language 

and syllabary of Babylonia 

were the common meltium oOTU'i-ar"y " 

intercourse throughout western Asia, 

and that the cuneiform.characters had 

not as yet been superseded in Palestine 

by. the letters of the i'lxenieiau alplia- 

IteL 

The date of the introduction of this 

alphabet cannot be fixed at present. 

The oldest known examples of it are to 

lie found in a Pluvnician inscription 

dedicated to the Baal of the !-*'bauon. 

which is assigned to the tenth eentury 

B. C., and the famous Moabite Stone 

erected by Meslia the younger, contem- 

-porarj—of~Ahab: Both- inscriptions 

show that the alphabet must have been 

in use for some time both iu 1'hti-nicia 

and in Moah, that the forms of the 

letters were not always the same in 

the two countries.

Jerusalem aud is at least as early as 

the reign of Ilezekiah. /rhe letters, 

instead of .being angular, as on the 

Moabite Stone, have rounded corners 

and Jails,—an indication that the 

letters in ordinary use from which they 

have been copied must have been 

written with a pen on some material 

like papyrus, not stamped €>n clay or 

engraved on stone. We may conclude 

from this that cursive writing had long 

been in use in the kihgdoin of Judith 

and that the writing material was probably 

papyrus. Leather may also have 

been employed. Papyrus, however, 

would ha v.- been cheaper and more

to furnish a supply. 

Moses, as we are told, was learned 

in all wisdom of the Egyptians, and it 

would have been the Egyptian writing 

material, papyrus, which ho would 

accordingly have been likely to employ.

What Baptists Have Done for the 

World. 

Br J, D. JKNKINS. 

[An essay read before the Watauga 

Baptist Sunday-school Convention 

and requested for publication in the 

BAPTIST AND KKKIJSCTOR. J 

i.did not expect to say anything upon 

either of the subjects on this program, 

as we have a goodly number of 

well informed men here who are always 

glad to sp&ik upon the different 

subjects. But on last evening, as the 

parties who were to discuss this topicwere 

absent, I, by the request of the 

Presdent, concluded to write a short • 

article upon this subject, "What Baptists 

have done for the world." 

To my mind this is » very important ! 

subject; really, I think that it Is the 

most.iinporlaut ouc ou .the. program. 

I have been reading Baptist history 

for the last few months, and 1 become 

enthused when I read of the great 

things that our denomination has accomplished 

for the benefit of mankind. 

1 think that the greater part of our denomination 

are Itchind ou our history. 

I don't believe that they take enough 

iuterest in it. Therefore they kuow 

but little about the great things that 

we have promoted and accomplished 

for the benefit of the. human race. Our 

history is a splendid record of a noble 

aud consecrated people who have always 

contended for "a pure ami utideliled 

religion." We have most always 

Uien the leaders aud promoters 

of all the great reforms that have 

been for the elevating and benefitting 

of mankind. Wfc have always plead, 

advocated and suffered for that grand 

aud heaven-born principle that all 

mankind should worship God "according 

to the dictates of their own 

coubeieuee." 

The first article ever written on the 

"subject of soul liU'rty" was written 

by lêonard Busher, a citizen of "Hondon 

and a Baptist, as early as Mi l, 

and was presented to King .fames I. 

and to Parliament. Its title was "Religious 

Peace, or Plea for Liberty of 

Conscience." It was published in 

pamphlet form, and Dr. jl.'nrthcart pronounces 

it one of the most remarkable 

productions evej* written. 

We do not go to our own historians 

to prove that we have always advocated 

religious lilierly. Bancroft sayd: 

""Freedom of conscience, unlimited 

freedom of mind was from the beginning 

the trophy of the Baptists." 

John Locke, the gnat philosopher^ 

said: "The Baptists were from the beginning 

the firm advocates of absolute 

liberty—just and true liberty—-equal 

and impartial liberty." Sir Jaiues 

Mcintosh" saysT11 e Baptists' &Ufr" 

fered more than any other under 

Charles 11. (of Kngland) because they 

professed the principles of religious 

liberty." 

Thus you can see that these historians 

all see aud recognize our principles. 

in those days we had to contend 

alone against the whole world 

for soul Liberty, which now every 

Christian patriot so dearly loves. 

Baptists had to uudergo the most 

horrible suffering for the religious 

freedom which we now enjoy. It was 

hooted at as a monstrosity; princes, 

Icings"" and "prlests ÔItrcd-fc- -AHthrough 

the. "Dark Ages,'' when tfap: 

tists were hunted down like wild beasts 

and were punished In every conceivable 

manner, they never In turn persecuted 

any other sect, in our history 

from the days' of Christ down we have 

never stained our fair name by persecution. 

That we have existed from 

the days of Christ is conceded by all 

standard church historians. Mosheiui, 

their bitter enemy, a Lutheran and a 

standard church historian, says: "The 

origin of the Baptists is lost in the 

remote depths of "antiquity.'' Zwingl^ 

BAPTIST AND REFLECTOR, JUNE 20, 189',. 3 

In tin* year 1525 said: "The Baptists 

have caused great disturbance in the 

church for 1301) years." Drs. Dcrmont 

and Ypieg, who were appointed 

by.the king of Holland to write a history 

of the Dutch Bcform«"d Church, 

of which they -were members, said concerning 

the Baptists: "We have nowseen 

that the Baptists, who were called 

Anabaptists, and in later times Menuonuites, 

were the original Waldenses. 

and have long in the history of 

the church received the honor of that 

origin, and they now may be considered 

the only religious community 

which has stood since the days of the 

apostles, and as- a Christian society 

which has preserved pure the doctrines 

of Christianity through a!l ages." 

Back in the dark days of persecu- 

tions we could uot do much toward 

disseminating the principles of religious 

liberty, as it was so bitterly opposed 

Bj (Be i»»N ntaU » iS3 cl&rgyl 

But it was the expression of a charity, 

a wide-reaching liberality, a boundless 

love for humanity, an extension 

of equal immunities lo all mankind 

.which no other single doctrine could 

convey. We can find by reading the 

history of our own beloved land how 

we struggled for this doctrine on our 

own native soil. 

Several of the colonies before the 

Revolution had State churches and 

persecuted other sects, especially iu 

Massachusetts and Virginia. Rhode 

Island, which was founded by the Baptists, 

has the honor of being the tirst 

civil government in tbe world to grant 

absolute'religious liberty to its subjects. 

When our forefathers were framing 

that* noble Constitution under which 

we now live, the Baptists labonnl day 

and night to. gi-t that great principle, 

"That all men should worship Hio«l 

according to tin- dictates of their own 

conscience," engrafted into it. They 

enlisted such men as Jefferson ami 

Mad rsotr - hi • their - rntif*ev—'11 try - wnt 

influential men all over the country to 

rouse the |MK»ple, and finally they triumphed. 

James Madison said that 

the Baptists sent so many petitions to 

Congress askiug them to insert this 

principle into the Constitution that it 

almost broke the tabies down, and we 

should remember that they had such 

men as John Adam's to oppose. But 

at last the hated, contemned ami despised 

"old Baptist doctrine of soul 

Ijberty" was engrafted into our Constitution. 

And now this is the onlygreat 

government in the world that 

grants absolute religious liberty to 

her subjects. But how few know what 

toils and sacrifices, what vigilauce, 

tears, prayers, patience and blood it 

cost the Baptists to win this boon of 

freedom for all .mankind- .We. also 

"gave this country its - model from 

which to form its present government. 

Jefferson attended the meetings of a 

Baptist Church wheu a young man, 

and one day the pastor asked him how 

he liked our church government. Be 

replied that he considered it the purest 

democracy then existing in the world, 

and that he thought that It would be a 

gotkl government foV the colonies; aud 

from these meetings he learned his 

ideas of a democratic government. 

We as a people have always contended 

against the adulterous union of 

-xUiurch-and. .Slate*. —Whercx«r.._State, 

and church have been united there has 

lieen persecution^ We" led the grand 

movement of modern missions. The 

first society for evangelizing the heathen 

wrn> ,0ri»ni?ed Baptists.. The 

pioneer missionary was the illustrious 

Wm. Carey. Among the leaders of 

American missionaries were Judson 

and Rice. 

The first translations of the Bible 

Into heathen tongues were made by 

Baptists. They have published God's 

book In native languages to more than 

two-thirds of the population of the 

globe. The first "Bible Society" for 

distributing the Holy Scriptures was 

planned, nourished into vigorous life 

and made successful and efficient by 

the energies of \VIIIP Hughes, a Baptist. 

Tne first Christian churches organized 

of heathen converts in "India. ChTh'a. 

Burmah and Si am were Baptist 

churches. We would not detract any 

honor due to other churches for the 

generotls part they have taken iu the 

missionary work, for they with greater 

wealth have ofteu done more than we. 

But it will not be deuied that iu these 

broad fie|ds we were the leaders. And 

with all this, yet in these modern days 

it has been discovered and Droclaimcd 

that Baptists arean illiberal,exclusive, 

narrow sect! The Baptists exclusive, 

when the foundation principle of their 

whole church polity is the essentiality 

of voluntary choice to right membership 

in the church of Christ! Kxclueive," 

when every chapter in' our history 

furnishes a brilliant record of 

struggles for soul liberty which all 

others with ourselves should be sharers! 

Exclusive, when we never struck 

a blow at the shackles that galled our 

own limbs that did not fall with cquai 

force upon the fetters that bound 

others! Exclusive, then the suushiue 

and the showers that fall impartially 

upon all alike are exclusive! My 

friends, let us study our history more 

and let us in the future, as iu tlie past, 

stand linn by our principles aud we 

will triumph. 

The great Certnan, Krummacher, 

said to Dr. Sears some years ago: 

"You Baptists have a future." He 

could see that our principles ar.d doctrines 

would triumph. l.et us beware 

of higher criticism aud liberalism. 

Liberalism is a thief; it is a wolf in 

sheep's cjolhlug that is wailing and 

ready to devour us. i>.>t us stand

The Brooks-Bird Debate. 

Tho Brooks-Bird debate is over and 

all seem to be well pleased and In a 

good humor. Bro. Brooks is certainly 

no disgrace to the Baptises. He 

presented the Scriptures In their true 

light. He ip a bold exponent of tho 

Baptist faith. His friends l»ecame 

more established from the second 

morning on, and dismissed with the 

regular old Baptist hand-shaking and 

thanks to God for heartfelt religion 

and outcries from the good sisters. 

Bro. Brooks showed the picture of 

the preacher baptiziug the goats to 

make sheep of them, but only made 

wet goats, and Bro. Blril said .that 

was a mean trick of Geo. A. Lofton, if 

he did baptize him, aud that he lived 

4n4ho Ua.pi.Ut church, ten years, before, 

he ft&nd his mistake. We thought 

from the looks o f his a ge "thal he had 

not been witlr the Campbell itcs that

man aud a good speaker and an artful 

dodger. 

The Campbellltes were out in full 

force from McMlnu, Hamilton and 

James Counties, besides their local 

church, insuring him all the backing 

that could be.furnished. 

The Baptists didn't ain^ to take very 

much stock in the debate, but finding 

the Campbellites determined, they rallied 

to the side of Bro. Brooks and 

convinced them that we believed what 

we taught. • 

I think the Methodist brethren were 

divided on the' discussion. I think 

the community at large is benefitted, 

especially the Baptists and Campbellit-*s. 

A SUBSCRIBER. 

Maloncy, Tenn. 

Good for Methodists. 

The amendment of the Discipline of 

the Methodist Episonpal Church, 

South, so as to place pastors and 

their appointments and services entirely 

under the control of the bishop or 

presiding elder, is declared by the 

editor of litis paper to be a stride toward 

a hierarchy. In this he seems U> 

be correct. However, this step seems 

to be a very wise one for Methodists, 

for tlurfoilowtng reasons: 

1. Evangelists are popping up everywhere 

among them. This class of 

preachers have to go out independently,- 

as Methodism does uot recognize 

the evangelist apart from the pastor. 

They are therefore wild engines on the 

trackway of Methodism. But the average 

pastor is willing to use any agency 

by which he can build up his church. 

He therefore luvites the sweeping, 

effervescent evangelist to serve him; 

thus recognizing ^nd encouraging the 

refractory evangelist who refuses to 

be engineered by ihe episcopacy. The 

evangelist could uot be screwed down 

by the bishop's brakes, therefore the 

Discipline u.ust be amended so as to 

give the bishops and presiding elders 

more power over the pastors. Now 

the brakes can be put upon the pastorv 

and iu this way put a check on the 

wild enginery of evangelism. 

2. There is an uprising of worneu 

preachers among Methodists. Methodist 

law forbids, in that it does qot 

provide for the granting of ministe- 

rial orders to women. But the woman 

evangelist is, you kuow, always a 

success. She is a drawing canl—gets 

the crowds, works up an excitement, 

is a means of gathering many into th& 

fold. This is too tempting for the average 

"pastor, who measures his success 

by the number he adds to the 

fold, whether good or bad. He Invites 

the unordaiued lady preacher to 

conduct his revival. She does so with 

great success, aud proudly boasts that 

she has no authority for preaching except 

from God. She usually declares 

that God called her, and no mistake 

about it; that it was all so plain as to 

justify her, regardless of what anybody 

may say. Thus the ordaining 

and appointiug authority of the episcopacy 

is set aside by the zealous pastor 

and the refractory woman preacheiv 

Hence the necessity of empoweriug 

bishops and elders to take charge 

of churches and services within church- .. 

es as well as more fully get the pastors 

in hand. 

Bishop Keene has been compelled to 

use the authority given him by the 

amended Discipline in prohibiting the 

woman preacher in this State recently. 

Whfle he cannot stop the mouth of the 

womau, he put the brakes on the pas 

tor who would invite her to preach for 

him. The amendment seems to be a 

necessity for Methodists. By all of 

which we are shown to what lengths a 

* people" &uve ~tt> go - Who discard" the 

Word oL.God. aud attempt to make 

other laws to govern themselves.

which he has held with Hardshell 

Baptists, in which, as reported to 

us, he did valiant service for our 

missionary cause. It was therefore 

all the more surprising to read from 

: his pen some of tv-tt.'./>/ thr .pimttt.roumrnts 

whieh have been made by 

Hardshell Baptists against our mis-' 

sionary work for the past century. 

They made those arguments in the 

time of Carey and of Judson and of 

Luther Rico, and they are making 

them now. We are sorry that Bro, 

Clifton has joined in with them. 

We hope that he has not been converted 

in any debate whieh he has 

held with anti-Missionary Baptists. 

The maxim. "Charity begins at - 

home," is a strong argument of 

anti-missionaries the world over. 

We were sorry to read it in the 

i uioulti of so good a Missionary Biip-H 

tist as Bro, Clifton. He should remember, 

hovever, that instead of 

charity beginning at home, charity 

; does not begin until it gets away 

1 from home. And even then giving 

> to the Lord's cause anywhere is not 

charity in the narrow sense of that 

word. It has a far broader significance 

than that; it is love in its 

widest sense: it is ivaying tlie Lord 

| your word and not only give nothing 

for Foreign Missions, but nothing 

for Home Missions and nothing 

for State Missions and nothing for 

Assiteiational Missions.* And then 

by going only aj>t»plai thc.r. in the 

Satne direction they will take the 

) word home in its narrowest sense 

I andsay: " 'Charity beginsat home. 

Home comes tirst.' Mv lirst duty 

l is to my family. I cannot support 

l them jis'I want to and give to the 

lord s cause at all. I need all lean 

• get right at home." And so they 

; will give nothing to the x satnr//, 

or if theVgiv»-»»ything it will 

be only a small amount. That is the 

way it works.

quoted Ihjil Christianity is a strange

On the other luiud. it might lie said, 

• A. Whittle of Birmingham. Ala., 

and the editor. Drs. Willinghnm 

and Bell, were sick and unable to be 

present. Considerable interest was 

aroused 11(1011 several questions. 

The tif-st question to excite much 

discusssion was the rejiort of a special 

committee recommending that 

the Baptist schools of the State 

should be requested to hold the same 

relation to the General Association 

of Kentucky that the Southern Baptist 

Theological Seminary occupies 

to the Southern Baptist Convention. 

After considerable discussion thiswas 

agreed to, and a committee was 

ap|M)intcd to see the schools with 

reference Jo the matter. 

Another question which aroused 

discussion was as to whether-the

says that at one place where he 

preached, "four took membership with

all bo true, and we have no doubt, of 

course, that it is, but the fact remains 

that this is not the interpretation put 

uiion the paragraph by Presiding Elder 

Sawyer and Bishop Keener of the 

Methodist Episcopal Church. As to 

how many of the presiding elders and 

bishops agree with these, we do not 

know. Apparently, however, there is 

a number of them, and the supreme
