THE GOLDEN AGE,
Austell Building, Atlanta, Ga.
farmer would wait to put his salt upon
his meat until after it had begun to
decay. He, would take the fresh meat
and rub in the salt. Jesus said to the
church, “Ye are the salt of the earth;
that is to say, your business in the
world is to prevent decomposition of
society. Is that what she is doing?
Look at our penitentiaries, our jails,
our police departments, our county of
ficers, our court houses, our orphan
asylums, our lunatic asylums. All
these institutions are today needed
because the church has not operated
upon the divine principle of prevent
ing the decomposition of human so
ciety. We have allowed those things
to exist that degrade and defile so
ciety. As an example, whiskey, and
whiskey alone is responsible for more
crime, more lunacy, more imbecility
than any and every other agent that
the world has ever reckoned with.
And yet see how loath the church
even is to get in the front rank and
prevent this great sweep of crime and
degradation.
My father was a Confederate officer.
He was first lieutenant and often acted
in the capacity of captain, and was
finally promoted to that position. Nev
er a braver man ever shouldered a
Confederate musket than he. On one
occasion there was a Union battery
on a certain hilltop, in between
his regiment and that hill was a deep
ravine. The command was given for
his company to take that battery on
the other side the ravine. They had
to cross this ravine, climb the hill and
capture the battery. His captain
tried and his men retreated, and
finally his captain dropped, wounded,
and he was ordered to take the bat
tery. Up the ravine was another
battery. As a man would start
across the ravine, the bullets from
up the ravine would come and sweep
down while from the hill top another
battery would open up. He marched
his men to the border of the ravine.
He gave orders for them to cross it
and they hesitated. He leaped from be
hind them and took his position in the
front and called to his men to follow,
and across the ravine they started;
the nearest that any of them came of
being wounded was that my father had
his neck-tie shot off; up the hill they
went and the battery was captured.
My father’s experience is my admoni
tion to the church today. Sin’s bat
tery must be captured and Jesus
Christ has sent His church into the
world to capture it. Satan cuts many
ravines for us to fall into and there
are many hills for us to climb, but
our Captain is ahead of the front
ranks, and our victory is assured.

rich-hued flowers, gleam’ng in oasis of
color, in front of the old brick man
sion, seemed full of suggestions of
contentment and peace to June
Churchill, as she was whirled up to
the gray marble steps.
She entered into the charmed
silence of the house, filled with the
perfume of freshly cut flowers, her
steps soft and echoless. But there was
nobody on the lower floor, except a
maid, who, in answer to her inquiry
for her sister, gave the information
that she had not been down stairs
during the morning.
June sighed as she ascended the
stairway, thinking, wearily, of how
Rose had once loved the great out-of
doors.
A slight figure, in a dark house
dress, lay on a leathern couch, with
face to the wall, in the shaded up
stairs sitting room. June removed her
hat and gloves and laid them, with a
white linen parasol, on a table in the
center of the room. But the noise of
her movements made no impression
on the quiet figure, except that she
raised her hand and clenched it and
then let it fall, nerveless and pallid,
against the folds of her dark gown.
“Are you awake, Rose?” June quer
ied, as she went toward the couch and
bent down over her, with a look of
tenderest pity in her dark blue eyes.
“Yes, I am always awake, it seems,
now,” she answered, in a colorless
tone. “Insomnia, you know, is quite
fashionable, and, nolens volens, I’ve
taken to it. ‘Solitude’ is so dull that
any sort of change appears to me de
sirable.”
Miss Churchill sat down in a near
by rocking chair, and, while her white
dress did not rustle, Rose made a ges
ture of protest, which her sister in
terpreted by moving further away.
“Thank you,”' Rose said, quietly;
“you know I can’t breathe well when
anybody gets too near me. Personal
contact of the close proximity variety
is abhorrent just at present.”
“Which only means, Rose,” her sis-
