TEMPTATION'S.
When Satan's snares my way assatl,
With wily efforts to prevail,
I look to God who will not fail;
For "He doeth all things well."
My path Is oft with danger fraught,
And all my efforts come to naught
Then my dear Saviour I have sought;
For "He doeth all things well."
At Jesus' feet I humbly plead
To purify each thought and deed,
That I to venial sins give heed:
For "He doeth all things well."
C. J. BELL.
The Session of Mt. Carmel church,
Lexington Presbytery, the 2nd of February,
adoped the following,resolutions:
Whereas the Great Head of the
Church has called our brother and fellow-worker,
Cornelius Jackson Bell,
from his earthy labors to the higher and
happier service of heaven.
Resolved 1. That, while recognlz'ng
the fact that God's most faithful servants
must come to the end of their
days on earth, and bowing submissively
to the will of him who rules in wisdom
and love, we feel deeply the loss of his
fellowship, and of his active cooperation
In the work of the church.
2. That we bear testimony to his In.
telllgent Interest In all the business of
the Session, to his unfailing regularity
of attendance upon Its meetings, to bis
accuracy In keeping the minutes of the
session for a period of thirty-eight
years, and to his devotion to the chnrch
as a member for half a century.
3. That these resolutions be recorded
on the last pare of the record book,
vol. IT., which la now filled with the
minutes almost all In his handwriting,
that they be published In The Presbyterian
of the Sonth, and a copy furnished
to the bereaved family, with onr
sincere sympathy la their keenly felt

RESOLUTIONS J"
adopted by tbe Session of Oxford Presbyterian
church, Rockingham county.
V*.
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God
in his infinite wisdom to remove from (
us our beloved co-laborer and brother,
George Bare, who became a member of
the church November 28, 1874, and was
elected deacon April 26, 1884, in which
capacity he served the church with
great fidelity until he was ordained
elder January 26, 1908, and died December
20, 1911, aged 63 years. i
Therefore, be It resolved, that we i
express our sense of loss which we, the 1
church and community, has sustained. '
That we recognize his life to have 1
been eventful. When a youth he volunteered
in the Southern Army, and
took part during the last year of the
war in the defense of the Southern
cause, acquitting himself well as a boy <
Rnlliler iftnr tho TOO- ?? ?? 1
?...v.. tuu nor wno uver, ue
returned home and entered upon the
duties of a peaceful life.
He married when a young man Miss
Amanda Montgomery, a daughter of a L.
former elder of this church. _
He was a kind husband, beloved by
his household, a hospitable and charitable
citizen, respected by all who knew
him, faithful in all the relat'ons of life,
discharging all public duties thrust
upon him with great fidelity.
That we extend to his bereaved widow
and household our earnest sympathy
and ask them to rejoice with us that
a servant of God has been called to his
heavenly home.
Resolved, further, that a copy of these
resolutions be Bent to his fam'ly, to
The Presbyterian of the South, The
Christian Observer and a copy spread
upon the records of the Session of this
church.

RELIGION OF TOWER. ^
Christianity Is not only a religion of
truth, but also a religion of power. It T(
not only makes a revelation, but also n?
puts to work In the human heart a Bl
mighty force. It not only rears aloft a P*
high standard of truth and righteous- In
ness. but taking hold of man, lifts him jc
to the recitation of the evalted Ideal wi
held wp before him. In this more than ^
anvthlng else lies its vast superiority to
all other faiths. To be sure Its doc- ? /
trlnes are Immensely more sublime and ca
ennobling than theirs; It teaches more ^
of God and man and eternity than their N|
founders ever dreamed of: but It must e(j
be conceded that all false rel'glons have fo
In them a modicum of truth. They are.
however, wholly destitute of anything
like divine power. They have no Holy ]a
Ghost. They leave man fettered and b?
enslaved by sin, end promise no relief
In the vague and shadowy future of another
world. The doctrine of Immediate jk
deliverance, they dare not preach. Only co
Christianity has a present-dav salvat'on tr'
to offer, pnd this Is its crowning glory.
m
halting for nothing except the right at- w|
tltude of the human will. It breaks the th
power of sin In the soul, and bids him
who has been the slave of ev'l to walk &p
the way of righteousness in his new- 0O
found strength. In
Nor Is one lT-jrtatlon of power all
that Is to he ha i. Fresh supplies are ^
ever accessible. Having herun his work
within us, the Holv Spirit will perfect hi
It, if we w'll but allow him. What is
