AMERICAN BAPTIST. VOL. XXVI. NO. II. THERE IS NO UNBELIEF. There is no unbelief Whoever plants a seed beneath the s d And waits to see it push away the clod Trust he in God. There is no unbelief! Whoever says when clouds are in the sky "Be patient, heart, light breaketh by and by Frusts the Most High. There is no unbelief! Whoever sees 'neath winter field of snow The small harvest of the future grows, God's power must know. There is no unbelief! Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep, Content to lock each sense in slumber deep, Knows God will keep. There is no unbelief! Whoever say: "To-morrow," the un- know "The future," trusts that power alone He dares disown. And dares to live when life has only worse, God's comfort knows. There is no unbelief!

Our total receipts for 1903 were $800: disbursements $798.63; balance in treasury $1.35. You can plainly see we have been hard at work, praying all along the line, crying, fighting and preaching with the force of peculiar opposition, notwithstanding all, we have come out more than conquerers, through him that love us. Pray for us in our efforts; for I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principals, nor powers, nor things present, shall be MISS G.A NUGENT, President MRS. E. D. THOMAS, Secretary W. R. RICHARDSON. dare to thank and announce to the churches and friends the result of our rally, which took place on the third Sunday in October 1904. The day was bright and clear with every thing in our favor after morning service. The congregation rapidly gathered at 1 p.m. to listen to a powerful sermon preached by that venerable father in the gospel Rev. D. A. Gaddie, D. D. After which we made preparations for the great rally as planned by our pastor. The tables were arranged and the officers took their positions to wait on the people. Then the pastor opened his book and began to call the roll of the following names which responded as follows: We have paid on our property for the year 1803 $800.00: for two years $755.00, which leaves a balance of $100.00, with 6 per cent interest, which we hope to pay next spring, by the help of God's power. Our total receipts for 1903 were $800: disbursements $798.65: balance in treasury $1.35. You can plainly see we have been hard at work, praying all along the line, crying, fighting and Preaching with the force of peculiar opposition, notwithstanding all, we have come out more than conquerers, through him that love us. Pray for us in our efforts; for I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any creature or relation shall be able to separate us from preaching the gospel and the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. A men. Voice of the Negro. The "Voice of the Negro" is the name of an illustrated monthly magazine devoted to education, industry, science and art among Negroes—the initial number of which has just been issued. It is to be devoted to the interest of the Negro people and its management is to be under the direction of Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, of Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., Editor; J. Max Barber, managing Editor; Messrs H H, Proctor, P. J. Bryant, and Emmett J. Scott as associate editors. The business management will be cared for by J. A. Hopkins. The first number is devoted to an important article reviewing the work of the Atlanta schools by Prof. John Hope of Atlanta Baptist College. An illuminating article upon the Negro as an important political factor, by Kelley Miller, of Howard University also appears. A spirited discussion, "White vs. Blacks" by Prof. W. S. Scarborough, of Wilberforce University will be found interesting. Booker T. Washington writes of the "Negro's Part in the South's Upbuilding" while Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams of Chicago, discussed "The Negro and Publie Opionion" There are several contributions by the editors themselves, and all in all, the initial publication gives promise of vigorous life. The illustrative, typographical appearance, etc., seem to indicate that those who control the magazine have high ideals. Published monthly by J. E. Nichole & Co., 718 Austell Building, Atlanta Ga. Subscription $1.00 per year. A sample copy will be sent to who writes for it. A Little Loss of flesh and strength, little barking, obstinate cough and a little pain in the chest may not mean gaoping consumption, but they are signs that prudence will not neglect. A few doses of Allen's Lung Balsam causes a free discharge of mucus and so loosens the cough. It heals the inflamed air passage and all it, beneficent work is accomplished without a grain of opium.

Tue terrible calamity In Chicay: last week which resulted mth: death of hundreds of people ba caused a general inquiry ints the matter of the safety of lame and ences in theatres and other pubin buildings, Nearly all the theatre an Chicago have been closed em ac: cunt of failure to provide prevents tives against. such accidents as startled ube civilized world last week. What is true of Chicay has been found to be true in othe cities and measures are being token to prevent the repetition of such ar awful catastrophe. This critici-m may in some respects be directr« against many of the churches am assembly rooms for lectures, com certs, etc., where large numbers 0 people are gathered without suit able means of egrees in case of tit or a stampede which trequentiy takes place under other cncum stances. These accidents are tre quently beyond heman control, bu aliitle precaution will reduce the fatal results to the mininum anc furnish a means of egres to many who otherwise would escape unin ured. Ose of the most serious birder anges the ract has to overcome i: the disposition to hold every mem ber af the race responsible for th: shortcomings of individuals rather than te hold the transgressors alon tesp nsinle. Among o.her races + tirade is never heard against a clas: as such because one of their num ber happens tu violate the law, i matters not how serious the offense but in the case of the Negro it ts entirely different. The most triviv cffense against law and order by colored men is frequently taken as an excuse to heap indignitics anc insults upon other members of the race who are in no way responsible aad who are good and Jaw abiding ctizens. Our white friends wh encourage or practice this charac. ter of discrimination simply because they area the majority and hays the power te do su, place ubstacic inthe way E the progress af a rac thet is inne way justifiable of com mendable and at the same time es tablish a rule of might instead o right.” THE State Teachers Association which wet in this city last week was & representative bedy of men and women and accom hshed a great deal of good, not only in des seminating information to the teachers themseives but in arons. ig pobhe interest’ in the question of general education. Liue s me fthe discussions were techuic but the most of them were of such a character as to interest and bene fit every cftizen who encourages e ‘cational movements. The bring. ang of Prof. Kelly Miller of Wash- ington and Prof. G.

Frazer, and Principal of the Business Department, arrived last Saturday night. She was formerly introduced yesterday morning and was given a grand ovation. She comes very highly recommended by Pres.W.H. Council, Ph. D. President of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, Normal, Ala., from which she hails. After the remarks by President Frazer in introducing Miss Garrett, a very able address was given by Rev. E. Williams, D. D., Chairman of the Board of Trustees, welcoming her on behalf of the Board. He was followed by a very eloquent speech from Rev. L. B.Banks, B.D. of the Theological Department on behalf of the Faculty. Miss Garrett responded in a very fitting manner to all that was said, and she was given the College yell by the students. We have every reason to be proud of our new teacher and we hope her stay will be long and prosperous. Our school is increasing rapidly. The following entered yesterday: Messrs. G. L. and G. H: Hender son; Misses Maude S. and Mossi L. Henderson of -arnes, Ky., Miss America Moore, city, enrolled in the Musical Department. City callers:—Miss Arye D. Stacker, Mrs. Annie B. Boyd, Mrs. Fanne Barker, Mrs. Fannie Winroe, Rev. B. J. Garrett. Visitors:—Mr. Granville Drake, Madisonille,, who donated $1,00; Rev. A. M Samuels, Murray, Ky; pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church who donated 25 cents. We received a donation of $3 100 fro Washington St. Baptist Church Paducah, for which we are very thankful. We regret very much to chronicle the death of Prof. J. E. Howser who was buried in this city last Sunday. He was a member of our Faculty last year and was held in high esteem by the student body. His aged parents have our sympathy. We regret to announce that Prof J. W. Bass, A. B., who has also taught several spring terms in our school, was sent to the Western, Ky., Asylum this city last week. The cause of his insanity is not definitely known. He held a first class certificate in this county and was regarded as one among the leading teachers. AN APPEAL TO BAPTISTS Will you give a space in the columns of your paper for the following letter.

O, brethren, what shall we do or say to our people who sent us here when we go back to them without the man they sent us for? Brethren, do you not realize the sad condition of our people? What will they think or say about you as friends? Please brethren, allow Secretary L. G, Jordan tc go with us to South Africa to put our work into a good shape and better condition.

THE BAPTISM AND TEMPTATION OF THE LORD. Matt. 3: 13; 4: 11. Motto Text—"And lo, a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."—Matt. 3: 17. "Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him." —Our Lord was living in Nazareth of Galilee, and was now about thirty years old. John was baptizing probably at the ford near Bethabara. "But John forbade him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?"—A testimony to the sinless lite the Lord had led in those silent thirty years. John preached baptism as a symbol of repentance, and he knew that he was a sinner, though his had been a life utterly free from all vices great or small. But this kinsman of his needed no repentance. "Suffer it to be so now; for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness."—Our Lord obeyed all the commands of God, thus giving the law a perfect obedience. Baptism would meet his followers as the first duty after regeneration. Therefore he would be baptized as the first act of his public ministry. Our Lord did not pick and choose among the commands as to what was essential and non-essential. Let no follower of his presume to do so. John yielded without further objection. "And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water."—It has always been a mystery to me that Pedo-baptists, loving their Lord and reverencing him, as the pious ones do, could read this verse and yet be content not to be baptized as he was. Suppose there were fifty "models" that God would consider obedience, it would even then be a mystery that they do not insist upon following the Lord's mode. "And, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him."—John also saw him descend, but there is no reason to think that any others did. The sign was for John. During his life our Lord never used his divine power for him self. He lived as any man might have lived who was entirely free from sin, and was guided by the spirit as such a man could be. "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased,"—These words assured him that during the thirty years of his life of obedience he had fulfilled all the demands of the law and wought out a perfect righteousness to be imputed to his people. "The voice was heard by John and off closed to him the diety of his kinsman in a way that left no room for doubt. "Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness."—Mark tells us it was among the wild beasts therefore, it must have been into a wild and uninhabited place. But where, there is no telling. The Holy Spirit does not favor holy places, and has wisely concealed from us a most all the places connected with the great events of that short life on earth. Our Lord did not rush into temptation of his own accord. When we are where the Spirit leads us we may be sure he will help us, and we shall not be tempted above what we are able to bear. "To be tempted of the devil."—God's justice and equity must be vindicated to all his creatures. He had placed the first Adam in the garden of Eden in the prime of health and strength, and giving him one weapon with which to defend AMERICAN BAPTIST, FRIDAY JANUARY 8 1904 himself from the snares of satan—and that weapon was his word Adam had failed in the contest. It is to be shown to all the universe that God had not exposed Adam to a danger too great for human strength, nor given him a weapon insufficient for his defense. Tue second Adam is in a wilderness, not in a garden; is hungered after a long fasting. He uses in his defense no strength that a human arm could not use—no weapon but the weapon which Adam had had—the Word of God. And he vindicates God's equity and proves that Adam could have stood in his purity and have defended himself from Satan's wiles with that one weapon. Jesus had the omnipotence of God, but here, as through his entire life on earth, he used only the strength which a man has in his own defense or for his own aiding. How much Satan knew of his antagonist we are not told. If he knew that before him was the Second Person in the Trinity, the most which he could have hoped to accomplish was to lead that Person to give up his design of saving men, going back to heaven and leaving the race to the fate they richly deserve. But nothing appears from the story but the cagerness of the devil to make his antagonist distrust and obeye God. "To be tempted"—means to be tested. Temptation in the sense in which we use the word to-day was impossible for an incarnate God. He was tried in all points like as we are, but no possibility of falling, no inward leaning towards sin made the testing a temptation in the sense in which the word is now used. It seems from Luke that the temptation had lasted for forty days. Matthew shows us the ending of it "And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights,"—which Moses and Elijah had both done before him. The ridiculousness of the Catholic Lent is shown by its putting the forty days of fast at the end of our Lord's life instead of at the beginning of his ministry. "If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread."—A very easy thing to do—Satan's temptations are generally to dn easy things Our Lord never worked a miracle when asked to do it by one influenced by wrong motives. He was standing in man's stead, he was here the second Adam. If he had used any power beyond man's strength, either in working a miracle or in resisting the devil, he would have given Satan cause to say that God had been cruel to Adam in the garden of Eden in exposing him to temptation beyond his power of resistance. Godet says: "Had Jesus yielded to this suggestion, he would have violated the conditions of that earthly existence to which, out of love for us, he had submitted." He would have surrendered his place as a federal head of his people, and there would have been no going back to heaven, leaving his chosen ones unredeemed. "Man shall not live by bread alone."—The best answer to every temptation is to be found in God's Word. Young Jews were required to memorize large portions of the Scripture... This is found in Deut. 8: 8; Thus our Lord stand firm as our natural head. Whatever was 'man's' duty he will do. "But by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God"—He is speaking physical needs. God can sustain life by other means, by the exercise of his power. When God saw best he would feed his Son; hungry though he be he will wait God's time. Thus is Satan baffled in his efforts to make this second Adam eat. He had succeeded with the first Adam and succeeded when he was neither hungry nor faint. "Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple."—He had failed to make out Lord surrender his place as man's represen- tative, he now assails him from another point. The pinnacle of the temple was either Solomon's porch on the east side over the gorge of the Kedron or the Royal Porch of Herod on the south side, from which Josephus says one looked into an abyss. "If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down."—The temptation here consisted id one of two things, perhaps both. Certainly it tempted to presumption. It is generally thought, also, that it tempted him to show himself as the Messiah in a way God had not decreed, and at a time God had not chosen. If he was the Son of God among men he wished them to recognize and receive him. If he came suddenly among them in the temple area, borne up by angels, coming apparently from the heavens, the people would welcome him with acclamation. And Satan becomes very pious for the wonce. Our Lord has quoted Scripture. He can quote it also. He quotes from Psalms 91:11. Satan is in a hurry; God never. He wishes the Lord to declare himself quickly and in such a way as to convince the people at once. Jesus will follow God's plan for making himself known. A lesson needed in this bustling age, when worthy people, knowing th at the end to be accomplishe l is a good one, grow impatient with God's ways and God's plans for doing his own work, and adopt the ways of the world and of the Crtholics in order to hurry matters. The object was a most excellent ode. Christ had come into the world to reveal himself as the Jesiah for the acceptance of his people. Satan's plan was much speedier far more "impressive" upon the multitude, and would, as far as human eyes could see, accomplish the work. Never forget that the means are to be just as much God's as the results. "It is written again."—Our Lord teaches us to compare Scripture with Scripture. The Scriptures cannot contradict themselves Hence if any interpretation we put upon a promise is contrary to a command as in this instance, the interpretation is wrong. "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."—Test him, put nim to the proof to see if is able or willing to keep his promises. We must trust God's veracity unquestioningly. Presumption is not faith—it is a great sin. The second temptation failed. This second Adam had not too little faith in God, nor a presmptious confidence. In both instances he was, emptied to try either ways than God's—that is in all three ten ptations, to try other ways than God's which shall do God's work faster than he is doing it. To feed himself because he was hungry and God was slow in feeding him; to show himself as the Son of God with such a miracle as would make the people accept him at once, instead of after God's slower way. And to get the earth as his inheritance by a momentary act; God's work must be done in his way. Let that great lesson remain forever fixed in our minds. "Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain." —Where we do not know. "And sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them." —Made them pass before him as in a vision, for Luke telis us it was in a moment of time. Christ had come to earth to rescue his people from the power of Satan. Here Satan offers voluntarily to surrender on the small condition that the Lord will do the retiring ruler a momentary obeisance. For there is no reason to insist that the Greek word translated means more than to do homage. But so do homage to Satan is to worship him. The Lord's anger is aroused and he answers sternly. Satan flees. The second Adam has stpd the testing, and God's kindness and justice to the first Adam is vindicated forever.
