M. T. MARTIN IN GEORGIA.
The Noonday Association.
The Rev. M. T. Martin, recently so
prominently before the people of this
vicinity, who has been absent since in
Georgia, has, it is understood, returned
united with the church at Marlin, and
will continue to preach as an item of
news, which will doubtless be read
with interest. The News publishes a
clipping from the Christian Index which
purports to give the proceedings of a
Georgia association wherein the much
discussed subject of rebaptism, was
fully ventilated. In reproducing it, the
News distinctly disavows sympathy
with the strictures passed on the Rev.
M. T. Martin, a man whom it esteems
as an able Christian gentleman.
NOONDAY ASSOCIATION.
It was the pleasure of the Index to
have a representative at the Noonday
Association, to mix and mingle with
the brethren, to give them a chance to
subscribe, or to renew their subscrip-tions.
And the Index hopes to have
some one at each succeeding associa-tion
for the same purpose, and for the
further purpose of gathering and pre-eenting
in these columns such matters
as will be of interest to the reader and
contribute to the advancement of the
cause. The Noonday Association
met with the Noonday church, in Cobb
county, Aug. 2nd, in its 30th annual
session. Rev J. H. DeVotie preached
the introductory sermon.
Bro. Geo. Roberts, representing the
re-baptism element, was nominated for
Moderator; Bro. G. S. Tumlin, repre-senting
the opposite view, was also
.nominated. Bro. Tumlin was elected
by a vote of 50 to 9. It is proper to
say, however, that in the election pro-ceedings
nothing was said about re-baptism.
M. T. Martin, of Texas, was
present,and Bro. Perkinson moved that
he be invited to a seat with the body.
The motion was overwhelmingly de-feated.
The usual committees and corres-pondents
were appointed. The report
of the committee ou State of Religion
was called for; its closing paragraph is
as follows:
“We wish to add that we deplore the
late practice of some of our churches in
re-baptising several of their members,
on a declaration by these member? that
they know, without doubt, of their re-generacy
since their first baptism on a
credible profession of faith. It ap-pears
to us that such a practice is con-trary
to our usage and unauthorized by
God’s word.”
Motion was made to amend the re-port
by striking out the last paragraph
of the report.
A very lively discussion of the re-port
was engaged in. Against the re-port
were A. B. Vaughan, Jr., in two
speeches, and two or three subsequent
efforts to speak. He first hoped the
discussion would not be forced upon
the Association, and consumed about
forty minutes in furtherance of this
hope. The Association determining
to pass on the matter, restricting
speeches to twenty minutes, after Bro.
Vaughan had made his seeond speech,
concluding with the assertion that, no
matter what the Association did, he
would go on re-baptizing those who
asked it.
The preaching committee having ap-pointed
Rev. Thad Pickett to preach
Saturday evening, and he announcing
as his text, “I know Christ, I know
Paul, but who are you,” caused the re-baptizing
element to place Rev. E. R.
Carswell Jr., in their language as “a
watch-dog” in the pulpit, to reply to
Pickett. The writer has not before
witnessed a similar scene in any church.
For more than two hours, the speaker,
sometimes in seriousness, dealt blows
upon the practice of re-baptism.
Occasionally shark reparte between
and the “watch-dog” would bring out
the risables of the audiunce. Then
the shaft of ridicule would be thrust at
“the greatest and grandest gospel
preacher of the world.”
The readers of the Index are perhaps
not aware that M. T. Martin, of Texas,
is “the greatest and grandest gospel
preacher in the World.” another thing
that the Index readers do not know is
this: that “the greatest and grandest
gospel preacher in the world” is run-ning
the patent medicine busines in
connection with his preaching. Some
of those who are not benefitted by his
ministry may do well to try a bottle of
his physic. But the unkindest cut of
all was probably the charge that it
was easier to go into these
old Baptist churches and re-convert
members who had once been
quickened than to capture the citidal
of the hard-hearted sinner. The speak-er
thought it was the office of the min-istry
to use their efforts to bring sin-ners
to repentance and not be going
into the church on a hobby after those
who once professed conversion. Then
he showed the partiality in the Wood-stock
church in taking up a minister
who had been deposed by his church
in Texas from the ministry, andlieens-ing
him to preach, and refusing to li-cense
another (McMurrav), who had
simply done what the first was advis-ing.
And his further respects were
paid thit|ohurchkhy characterizing it as
the dumping ground for refused mate-rial
from Texas. Concluding, after
more than two hours, the “watch dog,”
(as E. R. Carswell called himself), was
given the floor, but he found nothing
had been said to need answer, and
proceeded to pronounce the benedic-tion,
when the Rev. Mr. Pickett inter-posed
and dismissed his own audience.
But this is not all. The whole As-sociation
seemed saturated with the
affair of “Re-baptism.”
Sunday morning, after Friday and
Saturday had given nothing else for
thought or discussion, little groups of
men gathered here and there all about
the church yard, feverishly discussing
the subject. The Association conven-ed
in the church at 9 o’clock, and the
moderator began with a suggestion that
it would be best to lay aside the mat-ters
which agitated our minds so much
yesterday and try to worship God in
spirit and truth this holy Sabbath day.
His suggestion was picked up by oth-ers,
and the pastor of the church sug-gested
the propriety of sending out a
committee to labor with the groups to
get them to turn from “Rebaptism” to
the Lord God Almighty/
The report on Sabbath-schools was
read and the spirit of re-baptism was
manifest in the discussions. It was
the embodiment of the 11 o’clock ser-mon.
And even at the dinner table, it
contended with the appetite for a di-vision
of time.
The Noonday is the first Associa-tion
that meets. It is to be hoped
that the succeeding associations will be
spared the affliction which has been
imposed upon the Noonday, and the
re-baptism nuisance will disturb the
peace no more.
MONDAY.
The representatives from the Noon-day,
Canton and Woodstock churches
insisted that great injustice had been
done them by the Association, in that
part of the report on the state of re-ligion
which condemned re-baptism.
The injustice, it was said, consisted in
misstatement of the ground on which
the re-baptisms were admiuistered.
Why it was that the complaint of al-leged
injustice was delayed so long,
and not made at the time the report
was read, does not appear. And what
was the real ground on which it was
claimed that re-baptisms were adminis-tered,
this writer does not know. How-ever,
to satisfy the complainants, the
expression describing the ground of
said re-baptism was stricken out. But
as the fact of re-baptism was not deni-ed,
that part of the report which ex-pressed
disapprobation of said re-bap-tism,
was retained and re-affirmed.
Whereupon the three complaining
churches, being still dissatisfied, asked
leave to withdraw from the Association,
and their request was promptly
granted. M.
