Vital Questions and Ansivers.
(Continued from Page 6.)
(John 3: 16). Is It not just, that God has made it
impossible—as I once heard it expressed—for us to
dabble our feet in the blood of the Lord Jesus and
track our way into Heaven? “He that despised
Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three
witnesses. Os how much sorer punishment suppose
ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden
under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood
of the covenant an unholy thing and hath done de
spite unto the Spirit of grace.” Heb. 10: 28-29.'
The Lord warns us that His “Spirit will not always
strive with man.” Gen. 6: 3. and yet, “As the Spirit
saith, Today if ye will hear His voice” . . . Heb. 3: 8
and what says that voice “Ho everyone that thirst
eth, come ye to the waters and he that hath no
money, yea, come . . . without money and without
price!” Isa. 55: “Come unto me all ye that labor and
are heavy laden, and 1 will give you rest.” Matt.
11: 28. “Him that cometh unto me, I will in no wise
cast out.” John 6: 37. “Behold I stand at the door
and knock; if any man hear my voice and open the
door, I will come in to him and will sup with him
and he with me.” Rev. 3: 20.
My friend, when are you going to settle this
question of your eternal destiny? Your decision
today may be final. Suppose the slendei- thread of
life should snap today. Stop! Eternity is long!
You can not shift your responsibility. To each of us
comes the question, “What shall I do with Jesus
which is called Christ?” (Matt. 27: 22) And we must
answer. Decide now. Trust your life now and for
ever into his hands to keep and direct as he pleases.
If you will do that, he will do the rest.
Won’t you do that NOW?
“Search the Scriptures, for in them ye think ye
have eternal life, and they are they which testify
of me.” John 5:29.

such a time, I went down with an at
tack and sent in for the ship doctor.
He came —an old-fashioned Scotch
man—and I said: “Doctor, I think I
am done up.” He took my tempera

felt my pulse and it registered 120.

drew a stethoscope and listend for sev
eral minutes, finally saying: “You have
had an old attack.” I said, “Yes, sev
eral; I have been a walking pleuritic
for about seven years.” “Well, you are
in for a severe attack, I am afraid.”
And then I went down good. 1 just
knew I was done for. I knew I could
not lie there on that bed and suffer
with pleurisy and hold out until my
ship reached New York. I had always
believed I could not stand another at
tack. I said, “Is there a nurse on this
ship? It is awful to lie here on this
old bunk for days alone.” “No, there
is no nurse here, but you can get a
steward.” “A man?” “Yes.” “I do not
want him. I want something that
ain’t all thumbs fumbling around me
when I get sick.” “Well, perhaps I
•can get some of the ladies here to sit
up with you. I have got to go and vac
cinate the passengers now. When I
get through I will come back to you.”
“Got to lie here until he vaccinates
that crowd, and then he will come
back.” I thought. I thought of that
long stretch of sea, that rolling ship
and that damp, dark little cuddy hole
I had to lie in and nobody to hear me
groan. It was just awful. I got to
thinking about ray folks, and my work,
and I just broke down. I could not
stand it. All at once something said
to me, “Why not give yourself to God
and let Jesus heal you?” Then some
thing seemed to say, “Yes, if Jesus
were to heal you, you are so stuck
on doctors and running hospitals and
the like that you would say that you
just got well.” I said, “No, I won’t
either. If He will only heal me, I will
be a living testimony' all my days to
His healing power.” I got up and
CONGREGATIONAL METHODISTS RAISE STU
DENT LOAN FUNDS.
Launch Into Foreign Mission Work in Palestine and
Push Publishing Interests.
Rev. Rolfe Hunt, D. D., president of the Atlanta
Bible School, recently returned from Bertrand, Mo.,
where for more than a year he has been engaged
to deliver a series of lectures on the Book of Acts.
Dr. Hunt was accompandied on the trip by Mr. Ed
ward Young Clarke, of the Congregational Methodist
Publishing House, who also delivered several lec
tures to the Bible conference.
A student loan fund of SI,OOO for the benefit of
young men preparing for the ministry was raised,
and five young men returned with Dr. Hunt to enter
school and others are expected to arrive within the
next few days.
Upon his return to the city Dr. Hunt received a
letter from Philadelphia, Pa., announcing that a sim
ilar students’ loan fund was being raised there for
the purpose of sending students to the Atlanta Bible
School.
In addition to the SI,OOO educational fund raised
on the Missouri trip, $1,200 was raised for the pub
lishing interests of the Congregational Methodist
church in Atlanta.
In this connection, it is interesting to note that
a mission work in the Holy Lands has recently come
under control of the same church that fosters the
school, embracing a nice SIO,OOO church building and
$4,000 parsonage in the city of Jerusalem, missions
and Sunday schools in Nazareth and Damascus, etc.
This comes largely through the efforts of J. Stoke
ley, editor of The Watchman, who has been at work
on the plans for several months.

locked the door and got down by the
side of my bed, feeling just as sure
that God wanted me to turn my pleu
risy over to Jesus as that He wanted
me to commit my sins to Him; and,
while I knelt praying, there came
something in that room nobody else
could have seen; it seemed as if a
light shone around me, lighting up that
damp, dark room as no light had ever
lighted it before. I got up and
said: “I am well.” I lay down and
there was no pain on this side or
that side. I took deep breaths; I have
never had a pain from that day to this;
to the glory of God let that be said. I
got up and unlocked the door. I was
so anxious for the doctor to come
back. When he did he said, “Well,
you look better. What have you done?”
“Nothing.” “Let me take your tem
perature.” He took it and it was ex
actly normal. He put his ear to my
chest and said, “I do not hear a single
rale. You have taken nothing?” “No.”
“Well, I do not understand this.” I
said, “Doctor, are you a Christian?”
The devil said, “Now, you needn’t go
telling him about it; he will make fun
of you.” I said, “Yes, I am going to
tell it.” “Are you a Christian?” “Yes;
I am a member of the Presbyerian
church.” “Then, listen to me,” and I
told him that story; I said, “I am a
doctor; an M. D., and also a preacher
and run a big hospital; but I want to
tell you, God has healed me”; and he
stood there with great big tears com
ing down his great big red Scotch
face. We just looked at each other
and talked to each other with the lan
guage of tears. Finally, I got up and
dressed; I put on the best I had and
walked out. It was about time for the
evening meal, dinner. A ship dinner
on Sunday is a big thing. Just as I
got out the bugle blew and I went
down and started with soup and round
up with nuts and raisins and cheese.
I told everybody at my table about it
and took the deck in and never stop
ped telling it until the ship landed
and have never stopped telling it and

lasts. Does God answer prayer?
There aren’t enough people in the
world nor enough devils in hell to con
vince me that God did not hear me
pray on that old ship. According to
natural law, I would have suffered all
the way across the ocean and perhaps
died, but God substituted His higher
law, and I was healed instantly.
In the face of all this testimony, my
friends, shall we . believe that God is
our Father with a listening ear and a
loving heart and a generous hand, or
shall we, simply because of the germs
of doubt disseminated from a few
teachers who have not this faith use
this testimony, because they have not
by faith tested Him, allow ourselves
to be cut adrift upon the ocean of life
with no anchor of prayer to be fas
tened to the “Rock of Ages,” holding
us fast? God forbid! May He help us
to remember the things that He has
done for His children in the past, rest
ing in the assurance that He is the
same God yesterday, today and for
ever.

Richards and W. H. Turner, shows to
the Court the following facts, towit:
1. That they reside in said county.
2. That they desire, for themselves,
their associates and successors and those
who may hereafter become associated
with them, to be incorporated for the
period of twenty years, with the privi
lege of renewal at the expiration thereof,
under the corporate name and style of
J. L. TURNER PRINTING COMPANY.
3. The object of said incorporation is
to be pecuniary gain and profit to Its
stockholders.

sippi College—and he moved “the natives,” as B. D.
Gray always does.
Dr. W. H. Smith, of the Foreign Board, who was
the beloved pastor in Columbus over ten years, spoke
with informing wisdom and heart-reaching power,
on sending the light into lands and homes and hearts
of darkness. A great forward stride is expected in
missions in Mississippi under the impulse of the
Layman’s Movement, which is to be le'd by the con
secrated and able young lawyer, Col. William Whith

The State Hospital in Memphis.
The effort to build a Tri-State Hospital in Mem
phis by the Baptists of Mississippi, Tennessee and
Arkansas is in sight of victory. President B. G.
Lowrey, of Blue Mountain College, who has been
leading Mississippi’s campaign for $50,000 reported
nearly $40,000 subscribed. His speech portraying
the crying need for such an institution in such a great,
wicked commercial center as Memphis “opened the
eyes of the blind” of Protestants and Baptists on the
question of hospitals, having strangely turned over
the care of the diseased almost wholly to the Cath
olics. The climax of interest came when Mr. A. E.
Jennings, a prominent business man, who rejoices to
make money for the Lord’s cause, arose and declared
in a brief, tender, stirring speech, that if the Baptists
of Mississippi would awake and pay in $50,000 by
May Ist, he would give $50,000 to the fund, and add
another $50,000 to foreign missions as a thank offer
ing for the success of the hospital movement. The
convention was deeply moved by the words and deeds
of this noble man of God and victory will come.

tions to capital stock may be paid either
