ECHOES FEOTI THE EDITOR
Victory in Sutler.
The editor of The Golden Age, who spent one
day in the prohibition campaign in Butler county,
Alabama, has been gratified by the following let
ter :
Dear Brother Upshaw: Prohibition won a splen
did victory in our county. We are glad of your
song of reojicing with us. The touch of your soul
and the inspiration of your stirring message was a
great blessing to us. In memory’s casket a bright
jewel is kept for you. The vote was: Prohibition,
715; whiskey, 495. ‘‘God bless you” is the prayer
of many hearts.
Yours fraternally,
W. M. Blackwelder.
Greenville, Ala., Sept. 27, 1907.

Reh. B. E. L. Timmons.
Some men refresh you and bless you by what
they say, others by what they do, and still others
by what they are!
In either case that man is a benediction. But
when you find a man who refreshes you by what
he says, does and is, he is nothing less than a
triple benediction. Such a man was B. E. L. Tim
mons, that splendid Christian gentleman and
preacher whose sudden death in Atlanta a few days
ago caused such deep sorrow to all who knew him
but to love him. Dr. Timmons had filled many im
portant and fruitful fields in the North Georgia
Conference, and at the time of his death was the
beloved pastor of Western Heights Methodist
church. He had a face as kindly as William J.
Bryan’s, a handclasp as cordial as William Mc-
Kinley’s, and a life as sunny and beautiful as
George Whitfield himself.
I shall never forget my last conversation with
this able and faithful servant of God. He was
mingling with the crowd that watched and waited
in the State capitol, eager for the tidings from the
great prohibition battle. Seeing me he reached out
his hand and said: “Brother Will, I want to thank
you for that beautiful and fitting tribute to Sam
Jones on the front page of The Golden Age. When
I saw the face of Sam Jones with that wreath
around it, surrounded by the four men who are
leading the fight in the House and Senate —and
then saw above his picture the glorious words:
‘ The Liquor Traffic Dethroned in Georgia—The
Garnered Dream of Sam P. Jones.” and beneath it
these words: “We Wonder If He Knows?”
When I saw that, I tell you, and remembered how

Ah! what a window into the soul —what a gleam
of love and light from the noble spirit that has
gone to be with Sam Jones in the “Palace of the
King! ”

may fall on one or both oE his manly, brilliant

Stuart Stirs Gaines Ville.
George Stuart, the powerful preacher and evan
gelistic master of men, has just closed a great tent
meeting at Gainesville, Ga., which profoundly stir
red the city. On the last night three thousand peo
ple thronged the tent and sixty people went for
ward, giving their names to the different pastors
of the city, and thus announcing their purpose to
unite with the church the following Sunday.
George Stuart was for nearly twenty yeais the
co-laborer of Sam Jones. T.'ris helped tc give him
his fame —and his own greatness sustains it.
He walks a giant among’ men —for his is stal

Tennessee 9 s Lalv Unshaken.
The salocn forces in Tennessee have been fight
ing the Pendleton Prohibition Law on the techni
cality that the words “the Slate of” were left out
of the bill just before lhe great word “Tennessee.”
Well, what of it? Three other words ‘ The peo
ple of” have settled it, and the Supreme Court
rules that the law stands.
Only four black spots remain on the map- Mem
phis, Nashville, Chattanooga and the little mining
town of La Follette —and what the next Tenne«soe
Legislature will do for them will be “A. P,” as
the Wake Forest student said, and “A. P.” stands
for ‘‘A Plenty.”

Methodist and ‘Baptist Laymen.
The daily papers tell us of the inspiring growth
of the “Layman’s Movement.” The Presbyterians
took the lead, and now the Methodist and Baptist
lav men are putting organization into effectiveness.
The effort will be made to make the organization
general among the Methodist conferences. The
Layman’s meeting at the Fbst Baptist church in
Atlanta last Sunday afternoon was a rich and help
ful hour. The Layman’s Movement just means to
develop men who are not preachers and put them
to work —with their voices, their money, their
lives!

A Breath From Florida.
Too bad that a letter so good as this fragrant
breath from “The Land of Flowers” should have
been lost on the way to the Editor’s eyes and heart
for two long months. If it had only found me
promptly the summer days would have been shorter
and the ever-gladness in my heart would have sung
a sweeter song.
Mr. W. D. Upshaw, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Brother Editor: The Golden Age is a first
class paper in every respect—clean and wholesome
throughout. The editorials are strong and always
to the point. In “What We Think of What We
See,” the quiet humor and mild sarcasm of A. E.
Ramsaur is truly refreshing to a tired mind. I
am under obligations to Mr. Ramsaur for many
smiles. The special articles of Campbell Morgan
and Dr. Broughton are divinely instructive. And
Miss Bryan’s Household is growing better each
week. Here, all —old and young, rich and poor,
little and big, sick and well —may meet on Common
ground, in a social way. making new acquaintances
and life long friends perhaps. And—
Perpetually sweet, are “The Voices of Youth,”
Fraught with ambition, simplicity and Truth.
And the miscellaneous contributions are happily
diversified. So there is food provided for all, and
to suit the most fastidious taste.
The editor’s letter to saloonkeepers is fine—de
cisive, convincing, and breathes the right spirit—
that of kind tolerance, one for the other.
1 congratulate every man who in any way helped,
by vote or otherwise, in bringing about the pas
sage of the prohibition bill in Georgia, and most
especially do I admire Hon. Seaborn Wright, W.
A. Covington, W. J. Neel and W. D. Upshaw for
When I saw that, I tell you, and remembered how
the fearless stand they maintained and the strenu
ous work done, throughout the conflict.
No, I would not advise any of the saloonkeepers
to come to Florida, for we have a surplus here al
ready. But when Florida begins to consider State
prohibition seriously, we are going to call on you
Georgians to “come over and help us.”
Sincerely,
Margaret Smith Graham.
