The business Manager Again.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Canada to
the Gulf, and even in many foreign countries, our
readers are scattered. The very best evidence we
have that we are giving them a paper that they
appreciate is found in the many testimonials of
appreciation which come to us. All of this is en
couraging. There is nothing more encouraging to
the editors and publishers of The Golden Age than
words of appreciation and commendation. And
such words inspire us with a desire to make the
paper even better than it is. And that is what we
want to do. We want to make The Golden Age
the very best and purest family paper published
in all the land, and by the help of our friends and
readers we intend to do it.
You like the paper. You feel that you cannot
well do without it, and you do not intend to.
But did you know that your neighbor across the
street is missing the good things which you are en
joying in The Golden Age? Perhaps she has not
heard of the inspirational family weekly. Perhaps
she has never seen a copy of the paper. Perhaps it
is the very thing she needs in her life.
Now, do you not think that you would
be doing her a real service if you could
induce her to subscribe for The Golden Age
one year? She would enjoy then what you are en
joying, and doubtless would find much in it, just
as you do, to inspire her in life. There are thou
sands of people within hailing distance of our
readers who would be glad to subscribe for such a
paper as The Golden Age, if some one would only
call their attention to the paper. Well, that is
what we want you to do. We want our present
subscribers to feel that interest in The Golden Age
which will cause them to speak a good word for
the paper among their neighbors, and at the same
time get them to subscribe. By so doing you will
•be planting good seed, and the increase in our
circulation will, in time, make it possible for us to
give all our readers a still better and larger paper
then we are now publishing.
This is our Proposition: If you will get two
(only two) of your neighbors, to subscribe for The
Golden Age one full year each, sending us $4.00
to pay for the two subscriptions, we will send the
paper to each of them one year, and will send it
you one year FREE; or, if you are already a sub
scriber, we will set your subscription up one year
FREE OF CHARGE TO YOU. In other words, if
you will secure and send to us two NEW, full-ycar
subscriptions, we will give you for your service the
paper one year free. There are hundreds upon
hundreds of our readers and friends who can do
this, and in doing so will be doing a lasting service
to all concerned.
This offer is good only during the month of Sep
tember. This notice, just in this form, will not ap
pear again. We cannot answer by mail inquiries
about this proposition, so, if you cannot possibly
act upon it at once, but expect to a little later, we
would advise you to cut out this notice and pie
serve it, as it gives you all the information that is
needed concerning the offer made.
Remember, this offer is good only during the
month of September. Address, Department C,
The Golden Age, Atlanta, Georgia.

People Can ’t Forget.
Don’t you love to remember people that you love
to remember?
Ben F. Perry, of Canton, Ga., is one of that kind
to me. With easy grace and maniiood’s strong ap
peal he walked across my boyhood’s vision when
romance lent its roseate tinge to his young life
and mine. He drove out into the country m a shin
ing top buggy to uiy father’s country home—to
see my pretty double cousin. And, well, they u.-od
to tease me (I was then only twelve) by. saying
that I was mighty anxious for his little cousin
(a girl of twelve) to come with him to see my
. cousin’s cousin!
He deserved success and won it. But I? Well,
his cousin fair is the wife of a great man now,
while the red-headed, freckled-faced country boy

who used to watch, so eagerly for the coming of
the winsome little girl from town is now nothing
more than a lonely bachelor-editor without one star
to gleam and beckon in the sky of his matrimonial
dreams.
But back to Ben Perry. He has always been a
gentleman in the rich, full meaning of that word.
And that-is lots to say. He is a Christian gentle
man —and that is “the noblest work of God.’’
He knows how to be a friend —for he has learned
his best lesson from “the Friend that sticketh
closer than a brother.”
He seems like a young man yet, but he founded
the Cherokee Advance at Canton twentv-six years
ago when he was a beardless boy. His bright and
manly son, Clarence Perry, with a girl wife as
“lovely as a dream,” is editor of the Advance now,
while his older brother, Ben. F. Perry, Jr., is presi
dent of the Perry Marble Company, and Ben F.
Perry, Sr., is county school commissioner, and is
pouring the heart and love and vigor of his life into
the boys and girls of Cherokee county.
Friendship With a Prince.
What inspiring fellowship we had together a few
Sundays ago when he said: “Come with me to
the Tate marble quarries and I will introduce you
to a Christian Prince among the sons of men—
Sam Tate, President and Manager of the Georgia
Marble Company, lie was o.ie time far —very far—
from God, but since his conversion several years
ago, he has been a marvel of consecration and beau
tiful Christian influence. His employes love him
devotedly—for he stands openly, bravely and ag
gressively before two thousand workers in the quar
ries and the 'mills, pointing and leading them to
Christ. ’ ’
Thus Ben Perry talked of Sam Tate. Os course
I felt that it was worth going a long way to see
such a man.
The marble quarries themselves were awe-inspii
ing. For twenty-two years they have labored there,
and the amount taken out. compared with the supply
that waits to be taken, is as a pin-head to Stone
Mountain. Think of it! Solid marble three miles
long, a half mile wide, and nobody knows how deep’
They say that ten thousand years at the present
rapid rate of quarrying will not exhaust the won
derful supply. But great as was this marvelous
thing, the stalwart, princely Christian president
of the company was to me a more refreshing nnd

inspiring sight. Redeemed from a career of sin
and dissipation his life has been a crystal river
of beauty and blessing since then, lifting up hu
manity and honoring God. And the miracle of
his regeneration is more wonderful to me than the
miracle of marble which God has made to sleep
under his feet to wake for thousands of years to
the needs and touch of man.
Tn the little Methodist church on the mountain,
side this princely Christian man was teaching the
children in the Sunday school, and many of their
parents as well, the Way of Life. A gracious ser
vice there in the morning, a delightful dinner at
the Club House, and another service at the little
Baptist church at the station —and I left the king
dom of Sam Tate thanking God for the miracle
and mastery of positive Christian manhood.
He has made God the Senior Partner in his firm,
and in his everyday business relations he forgets not
to point all men with whom he deals to the Source
of his redemption. Verily Sam C. Tate:
“Lures to Brighter Worlds,
And leads the way.”

From Far-Alvay Scotland.
Crail, Hill House, Fifeshire, Scotland, Aug. 23, 1907.
Editor Golden Age:—
Dear Sir: Will you kindly change the address
of The Golden Age from “Crail, Scotland,” to
“Chinkiang, China, care Baptist Mission”? Would
you excuse a word of appreciation? I confess I
subscribed for The Golden Age on account of the
letters written by Mr. A. B. Caldwell, a cousin of
mine, but now I also confess I want the paper for
itself.
The bright hopefulness which shines in every
page, the clear, certain note which it gives for
righteousness, the wideness of its range and sym
pathies and the impression it gives of being thor
oughly awake and alive —all these and more, make
the paper very interesting to me, and it must be
a blessing to many.
You will also excuse a personal word. We expect
to arrive in China about the middle of November,
and hope to be there in time enough to see Dr. Wil
lingham. lam sure his visit to the field will be a
great blessing. Yours fraternally,
W. E. Crocker.
