beautiful place in my life. Thousands and thou
sands of dollars have been spent in that homt.
You may say that it is selfishness to spend so much
money upon a home.
Listen to the rest of the story. Now and then,
the working people from Birmingham are invited
into that home and entertained in the magnificent
hall, where a great pipe organ has been built. Aft
er the entertainment and the reception are over,
then the Word of God is opened and expounded by
the head of that home. Every now and then work
ing people are invited upon those lawns and tea is
served and other refreshments; and the children
from the crowded tenements on this magnificent
lawn romp and play and enjoy the fresh air and
the companionship of those godly people whom He
has so blessed with worldlv abundance.
That is what I call an unselfish use of money.
Mrs. Cadbury said to me once: “Why, I could
never think of enjoying all of this by myself. The
only reason why I have all this is that I may r- '
it to bless and comfort the people who never would
have a chance otherwise to see it.”
That is the way to spend money, and my beloved
friends, let us not talk about any further steps in
the life of victory until we have stopped long enough
to settle this question with all that we have: wheth
er it is talent, or money, or position, or what, what
ever we have is for the benefit of the people.
There can be no victory until we conquer at that
point. When I think of this I tremble for our own
church people. I tremble for myself. I wonder
if I have put myself at the disposal of the needy
about me. I wonder if everything that I have
is for the disposal of other people or if I am keep
ing back part of it for the gratification of my own
poor selfish life. God help me if that is true never
to strike another lick, nor to speak another word
until I conquer at that point.

To Whom Shall We Go?
A million souls surround us, athronging street and
mart,
And not a one but sorrows and sickness at his heart.
Each one in grief is stricken; e’en tho’ the face be
calm
The heart is torn and bleeding and throbbing in
its qualm.
Must my heart pour its anguish and my soul roll
its pain
Upon the stricken prostrate striving to rise again?
Each heart is full to bursting, and each soul bur
dened low,
Each bosom heaves in anguish. Should any share
my woe ?
The Friend, the Friend, Brother, yoke-fellow, tri d
and true,
He yearns to bear our sorrow, to take your load
and you. E. P. M.

The Golden Age for October 10, 1907.
A Young "Editor of a Great Paper.
Out in the empire of Texas the workers never
grow old. J. B. Gambrell, for instance, with the
snow of winter on his head, the freshness of spring
time in his soul, and the fire of a young soldier in
his heart.
They put men to -work young to keep them id
ways young: When J. H. Gambrell, the scholarly
brother of the old hero, “grand and gray,” left
the editor’s chair to help Dr. B. F. Rilev and the
Anti-Saloon League run liquor out of Texas, the
owners of The Texas Baptist Standard called Jos
eph M. Dawson, of The Wes’ern Evangel, at Abi-

lene, to be editor of The Standard. It is a great
thing for a young man close to thirty to be editor’
of a weekly paper with over thirty thousand sub
scribers. It is a throne of power which few men
of his age now hold and which any man of any
age might covet.
At the last writing Dawson was not married..
A son of Baylor at Waco, he ought to have a fair
daughter of Baylor-Belton to be the inspiration of
his daily editorial efforts. We are watching him.
With such a partner as the stalwart J. Frank
Norris as manager, The Standard will sweep the
plains of Texas with a fire of holy zeal.

A Recorder Out of a Job.
Valdosta, the fair and stirring “Queen City of
the Pines,” has a prominent, worthy citizen whose
business has been ruined. That awful nightmare
of “fanaticism” known as Prohibition, did it.
Alas! alas!
Several citizens of that rare city predicted rhat
June 24, 1907, would be a fatal day for the busi
ness interests of that South Georgia metropolis,
and now, behold! so soon something like twenty
five men have hud to shut up shop. About two
dozen of these men were the ten saloonkeepers and
their assistants —and the other was the City Re
corder.
800-hoo! What a tragedy! Will Valdosta be able
to stand the shock? We confidently believe she
will.
To be right serious, isn’t it a glorious spectacle?
Every house in Valdosta that was occiped by a
saloon, with all of its filth and debauchery, is now
occupied by a clean, productive business. And
Recorder Varnadoe —a fine young lawyer, too hon
est to want office or salary without service—has
tendered his resignation on the safe and sufficient
ground that “there is nothing to do.”
The fact is, that drunkenness is almost totally
unknown, and when an occasional arrest is made
for any other cause, the mayor, who is busy looking
after city improvements, disposes of it in short
order.
Not only has every saloon place been filled by a
good, clean business, but new buildings are going
up on every side, and Valdosta, cleansed and re
deemed, is simply athrill with commercial pros
perity and moral and religious progress.
Let every whiskey-cursed town all over our
Southland take hope from these glorious facts and
arise and put their liquor dealers and recorders in
to a better business.

A Correction.
In order to correct an error in the article “Law
and Its Claim to Enforcement,” which appeared in
The Golden Age of last week, we publish the fol
lowing communication from the author:
Editor The Golden Age.
Sir: The Golden Age of October 3 came yester
day and I sat down immediately to its perusal and
enjoyment; and most unexpectedly came upon my
article, “Law and Its Claim to Enforcement.” It
is finely rendered, with one so notable exception,
which (I wonder) might be corrected, viz., the use
of the uncomplimentary word “incompatibility,”
instead of the word I used, “incorruptibility,” far
more appropriate, I am sure. Would a line in your
next issue correct this?
Yours truly,
Mrs. A. Smith Irvine.
