TEMPTATION'S.
L
When Satan's snares my way assail,
With wily efforts to prevail,
I look to God who will not fall:
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 PreBbytery, the 2nd of February,
adoped the following^resolutions:
Whereas the Great Head of the
Church has called our brother and fel
low-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 his
accuracy In keeping the minutes of the
session for a period of thirty-eight
vPJirfl hit iIavaHaw
1 ?? %v Ui- u??vuun (U llic VUUIUU
as a member for half a century.
3. That these resolutions be recorded
on tbe last paee of the record book,
vol. IT., which Is now filled with the
minutes almost all In his handwriting,
that they be published In The Presbyterian
of tbe Sooth, and a copy furnished
to the bereaved fam'ly, with onr
sincere sympathy In their keenly felt
erretr.
LN OF THE SOUTH
RESOLUTIONS
adopted by the Session of Oxford Presbyterian
church, Rockingham county.
Va.
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.
Therefore, be it resolved, that we
express our sense of loss which we, the
church and community, has sustained.
That we recognize his life to have
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
soldier. After the war was over, he
returned home and entered upon the
duties of a peaceful life.
He married when a young man Miss
Amanda Montgomery, a daughter of a
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 or God has been called to his
heavenly home.
Resolved, further, that a copy of these
resolutions be sent to his fam'ly, to
The Presbyterian of the South, The
Christian Observer end a copy spread
upon the records of the Session of this
church.
Attest:

RELIGION OF POWER. .
Christianity Is not only a religion of
truth, but also a religion of power. It
not only makes a revelation, but also
puts to work In the human heart a
mlehty force. It not only rears aloft a
high standard of truth and righteousness.
but taking hold of man, lifts him
to the recitation of the evalted Ideal
held up before him. In this more than
anvthlng else lies Its vast superiority to
all other falthB. To be sure Its doctrines
are Immensely more sublime and
ennobling than theirs; It teaches more
of God and man and eternity than their
founders ever dreamed of; but It must
be conceded that all false rel'glons have
In them a modicum of truth. They are.
however, wholly destitute of anything
like divine power. They have no Holy
Ghost. They leave man fettered and
enslaved by sin, pnd promise no relief
In the vapue and shadowy future of another
world. The doctrine of Immediate
deliverance, they dare not preach. Only
Christianity has a nresent-dav salvat'on
to offer, pnd this Is Its crowning glory.
Waiting for nothing except the rlrht attitude
of the human will. It breaks the
power of sin In the soul, and bids him
who has been the slave of ev'l to walk
the way of rlgh'-musness In his newfound
strength.
Nor Is one It - irtatlon of power all

"TENNESSEE POND OF LIQUOR AND
POOL OF BLOOD."
Ex-Sheriff C. D. Johns, of Nashville,
Tenn., will have his new book, "Ten- <
nessee's Pond of Liquor and Pool of
Blood," ready to deliver to the anxious
public by the last of February. This
book will be all that its title implies.
In keeping with the writer, Mr. C. D.
Johns, it will be a plain, straightforward
statement of facts, showing that
the once proud Old Volunteer State of
Tennessee Is now famous for her corruption.
and that the once proud
"Athens of the South," Nashville, her
capital city, has truly fallen.
Mr. Johns has recently served as
sheriff of Davidson county, of which
Nashville is the county seat, being elected
on the Independent ticket, defeating
for the first time In the history of the
omit;. ? dfuinrrmic nominee in a nemocratlc
stronghold. Hli record as an
honest. Intelligent. Imnartlal and fearless
law-enforcing officer has never
been equalled In Tennessee. thlJ being
admitted by both political friend and
foe.
Everyone who is opposed to ring rule,
political machines, the domination of
corporate Interests, tbe large cities controlling
the state government through
heartless corporations, liquor dealers
nd the foreign criminal element, the
whiteslave traffic, etc.. etc.. should read
th's bonk. Every man who loves his
God. his family and his country, will
appreciate It
The writer believes this Is an age of
dodging facts, and vet the world Is craving
truths stMnped of all useless verb- *
lage and pretense. And while he loves
Tennessee, for that very reason he proposes
to give the world the whole truth
relative to the denlorahte cond'tlons In
his own loved state. This hook gives
some new and a'tonlshlne facts on the
uidtnrni imee m I Pnifl""'!' " niSTOry,
the foul assassination of Senator f armark,
her own loved and honored aon.
Truly he waa drowned In'a pond of
Honor and nool of blood.
By sendlne $1.00. half-price, at- once
for this hook, yon will be anion* the
flrst to receive 1t. Address. The Jo^na
