“YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN.”
(Continued from page 2.)
meat p u t red corpuscles in your blood
how it is-the vital force appropriates
these material things. No College or
University could explain it, but you
ate just as heartily as if you knew
all about it. Stumble not at the mys
tery. Do the simple part that you can
do and let God do His part, and He
will do it well.
We see Nicodemus first in the mid
night, with the day-dawn coming into
his soul. Then we see Nicodemus in
the twilight as a timid champion of
Jesus Christ. The sanhedrim were
just about to pass sentence of con
demnation on Him when Nicodemus
quietly rose and said, Is it our law
to judge a man until we have seen
and heard him. Then we find Nico
demus in the daylight. He comes out
with Joseph of Arimathea and makes
confession of Christ as he brings his
spices to embalm His body. It was a
courageous act. It is Nicodemus;
not the timid champion now, but the
blood witness for Christ. Oh, friend,
will you do it tonight? I plead in
the name of Nicodemus, the man who
was timid at first, take a stand for
Christ.
HIS MISSING BRIDE
(Continued from page 3.)
carrying a handkerchief in his mouth,
he came up to me and thrust the
handkerchief into my hand. I saw
the stains of blood upon it; then I
found in the corner the first letters of
your name. I had embroidered them
there. I knew you were lying wound
ed or dead somewhere, and that Dom
had brought this token to let me
know. I knew he would take me tc
you. He has brought me, and now
you will live. Your comrades will
come to your aid. If the wolves at
tack us I will keep them off. I have
my revolver, and yours,” she added,
picking up the pistcl that lay at
Jose’s side.
But she was not called upon to de
fend him against the wolves. Before
the pack could reach their anticipat
ed prey the cowboys were there gath
ering about their comrade, overjoyed
to find that he was alive, and full of
wonder and delighted sympathy to
learn that the sweet-faced girl who
held his head on his lap was the long
lost love, the Mary of the “Passion
Play”, whom the daring robber, Vel
asco, had seized on her way from the
rehearsal and brought to his hiding
place in the mountains.
“She saved your life, old fellow,”
said one of the boys. “We thought
sure you had passed in your checks,
and we wouldn’t have come to see
after your body until after we had
carried our prisoner, the big robber,
to the camp, if we hadn’t met the
messenger she sent. The other rascal
suddenly disappeared when we got
among the hills, but the big one says
he was mortally wounded, so it’s all
right. You did for him, though he
came nigh doing for you. You’ll be
all sound again though in a few days.
We’ll take you to camp on a litter,
and Miss Jessica will nurse you well
enough to dance at your own wed
ding. A wedding and a dance we
shall have right there in camp, and
we’ll invite the girls from all around.
So hurry up and get well, old boy!”

because it was necessary sand be*
cause it was experimental. W. W.
Brisendine said that he believed that
if a person gave the Lord one-tenth
that the Lord would enable him to
do more with the remaining nine
tenths than he otherwise could do
with the ten. Dr. L. E. Barton said
that he did believe that the laws of
the tithe was of force today; but he
believed that the Christian should
give more to his Lord today than the
Jews were required to give under the
old dispensation; that all the Christ
ian had was the Lord’s; that he had
always given more than the tenth;
that he believed that it was the duty
of ministers to constantly preach to
their people on Christian stewardship;
that he had always been able to see
his churches increase their offerings

asking them to tithe. The Associa
tion endorsed the system.
Dr. B. P. Robertson, the wide
awake Association superintendent,
culled some interesting figures from
the church letters. He stated that
there were 17,000 Baptists in the as
sociation, 13,000 Sunday school pu
pils; that there had been 2600 addi
tions to the churches during the year,
of which 11100 were by baptism, that
there were fifty- two churches in the
association and four mission stations,
that there are only six pastoriums,
that the average per capita giving for
all purposes was $11.74; and that 18
churches have debts upon them. And
that there were within the territory
of the association 200,000 people who
do not attend any Sunday school
anywhere.
Two notable benevolences were
passed up by the association, one of
$2'5,000 in favor of the Georgia Baptist
Hospital and one of SIO,OOO to the
Georgia Baptist Orphans Home.
Among the distinguished visitors
not already mentioned were, Dr. J. E.
Sammons, Griffin, Dr. G. S. Tumlin,
FROM $12.95 TO $27.80.
That is the range in prices of the ex
cellent sewing machines offered by the
Religious Press Co operative Club, ad
vertised on another page of this paper.
The advertising manager of this paper
has carefully investigated this proposi
tion and is sure the managers of the
club will do all they say. The advan
tages of the Club plan are so great that
you can save as much as you spend in
the purchase of a sewing machine. An
other machine that is no better in any
way than the one offered for $127.80
would cost ordinarily $65. Better write
at once to the Religious Press Co-oper
rative Club, Clinton, S. C., and get
their catalogue and remarkable offers.
