There are many things that are some what cloudy as regards the church of Jesus Christ. Its doctrines, ordinances, words and works, This eught not to be, but we are dealing with things as they are, and not with ideal conditions. If we should agree to let the spirit have the right of way in our lives. He would lead us into all truth. There weuld be no error if we would study in the white light of the Holy Ghost's illumination; but alas! we place in the forefront our own prejudices and preconceived views and notions, and as a result there arise various views and almost endiess dis putes and tons of potential literature that attempt to bolster up the tottering walils of our human erection. But amidst the ecclesiastical logo machies of the present day there re mains a settled fact, a field that has not been invaded, a sheltered spot where no warfare has been waged, and that place is bounded by the words of the text. However, we may differ among our selves comcerning doctrines and ordi nances and polity, there is not room for any one to doubt that the work of Christ while He was here on earth is the work of the individual members of His church. “Follow Me’ carries weight with it. He who would follow Jesus must take up His cross and follow Him, and the via dolorosa must be trodden as well as the road that leads in triumph into Jerusalem. One must be willing to walk the way that leads to Golgotha carrying a cross, as well as to ride in triumphant glory with shouts eof Hosanna and wreaths of flowers amid the plaudits of the onlooking throngs. Upon this we all agree. Christ's work is our work. Dealing With the Down-and-Outs. Our eompassionable Lord came to seek and to save tnat wnich was lost. The lost sheep of the house of lsrael ap pealed to Him. One of the sweetest and most helpful lessons in all His earthly ministry was the one He so graphically taught with the stery of the Good Sa maritan. No picture could more ac curately " portray the conditions of the human race lost in sin than that of the fellow who on the Jerusalem-Jericho road fell among thieves and was beaten and robbed and left bleeding and half dead without any one to care for hin. The law and ceremonial rights through representatives passed by on the other side, but the Good Samaritan stopped. The need of a fallen man in trouble ap pealed to his compassionate heart, and he did all that was necessary to restore the man who was beaten to his former condition. The inhabitant of the way side cove, poor and bleeding and needy, appealed to Jesus 1908 years ago. He appeals to Him to-day. And no amount of false reasoming can get a sensible, thinking man to believe that He is not responsibility. For vears the church slept over her rights and privileges. She was indifferent to the call of suffering humanity. But in recent years she has aroused herself and is now taking no tice. ln the recent pamphlet gotten out by the Men and Religion Foerward Move ment in .Atlama. statistics are shown and conditions made public that ought to thriil the heart of every citizen of the Georgia capital. The eyes of the Christian world are turned upon At lanta. The followers of the Man of Nazareth are looking and watching and praying for the success of the meve ment. Atlanta is in the limelight cleanliness, purity. A city like that, whose buailder and maker is Geod, is what the people of the State and ef the vorid are expecting. The Churches of Atlanta. The Christian men who are driving evil out and setting up instead right and law and order and whose efforts are making a Christlike town deserve the gratitudeof every business man in Atlanta, whose gain they have contrib uted so much toward. For a long while the Baptists of Geor gia were quiet and had little to say. At length they commenced to educate and to agitate, and at first their small contributions and numbers seemed to be against real success. But their weak nesses were persisterrtly peinted out, and from press and platform and pulpit a mighty erusade was waged, until to day they are in the forefront of all de nominations of the State. Sometimes the surgeon's knife is necessary. BEvil must be cut off, wrong wt down before right can be set up. hen a boy on my father's farm I noticed in the early spring that the fields that were to be cultivated and planted te corn and cot ton were gome over with ax and grub ing hoe, and bushes and trees and b:irs were cut down ant destroyved before cotton and ecorm plants would grow sueccessfully. True it is that pris oners can't be treated as princes, but it is also true that they are men, and however much good the churches of to day may do they can mever do what they might do until our priseners are dealt with in a different style. “Do unte others as you would have them do unto you' is no mew doectrine. There ism’'t a man in all of the State of Geor gia who would be vulin? to receive the treatment that many of the prisoners receive. The wearing of siripes bas tended mot only to hurt the prisoners, but it has had its demoralizing effects upon those whe looked on them. Our children will never forget the impres sion made upon their impressionable young minds by the sight of men chained and branded, as they so often see them, for small crimes. The citizen who calmly stands by and raises no protest when a drunken man is placed in charge of the criminals of his State is not far short of a criminal himself. The church in this werk is awakening and efforts that are telling mightily for righteousness are now everywhere be ing put forth. To read the bulletin re?errvd to is an inspiration. Its die tion is perfect, its spirit high and ex alted, and that is just one of the thou sands of fillustrations that could be cited whieh proves that the people of our churches are gradually realizing that the Master really meant to teach that every sufferer in meed is our neigh bor and clamors for belp that can not consistently be denied by anvone, least of all by a Christian. The man who is unable to keep from drinking liguor when it is near him and who uses it to destroy both bedy and mind is just as much in need of help as the crazy man who tries to kill himself with and destroy his usefulness with any other poisonous substance. Christ's kingdom can never be builded up as it should be afong with the agcursed lguer traffic. God and Mammen don't dwelk together. Sam Jones, one of the streng est and most unique and powerful of the preachers of his day. well said that the ‘‘grace of God and corn liquor couldn’t stay in the same hide at the same time.” Owr infant death rate is fearful. Infant mortality is getting to be one of our greatest problems. \What will we do with the liquor problem? It is a mighty question. Likewise it must not be protected, but prohibited. Liguor and lust go hand in hand. If the churches of Georgia would iake one fair, honest shot at the destructive lig uer vulture in the State it would drop instantly as dead as the fabied Hector. Imagine if you can Jesus here on earth to-day. Think you that His voice would be stlent on this great evil? He would stand on the street corners of Atlanta and New Orleans and New York and Chicago and pronounce woes against it greater than He pronouneed against the scribes, Pharisees and hypocrites of the long ago. . Nineteen hundred and twelve was a great year in the history of our coun try. We boast of our accompiishments, of our civilization and schools. Compare for a moment the school bill and the liquor bill—the one $426,250,434, the drink bill $1,750,000 000. China is ap plying drastic measures to-day to rid the iangdom of the awful opium habit, while the liquor traffic is growing under Christian domination. When will the time arrive in our land when our peo ple will be willing to stop the awful traffic for sake of gain? Selfishness is at the root of the entire matter. Re eently a newspaper carried the state ment that a minister of .great promi nence had publicly stated that after ail had been said the saloon had something that could be said in favor of its serviece to society. Well, when | read the state ment I thought the preacher had about exhausted something to talk abeut. Nothing but bad ean be said in its faver. What has it ever dene to heip men? Even the saloonkeepers who have made money have felt its blight upon them as they watehed their money ltake wings and fly ‘and saw it heeome a real curse to the members of their family. In its wake there lies wasted and wrecked and ruined homes, blighted lives, blackened reputations, shattered health, deterioration of families and in dividuals, fortunes wasted m riotous liv ing, death and dampation. No good thing has it ever done for individual or community. No good thing will it ever do. Like dead sea apples its promises are but ashes and bitterness. Woe and sorrow have been two words attendant upon every thought about this, Ameri ca's most blighting and baleful instita tion. The drinking man is a disgrace to himself, his family, his State and his God. And in his weakness, in his vary vileness, he calls to us for help Shail we assume the attitude of the priest or that of the Good Samaritan? Shall we as Christians put liguor out or let it alone? Feminine Unfortunates. - It is bad enough for men to live in sin and te leve sin. It is even worse for woman to give herself to the serv ice of the devil. Feor long years the ehurch has not only tolerated and re mained silent concerning the white slave traffic. but it has had notbing loud 1o say against the conditions which fos tered it. At length it is speaking in po uncertain terms. When Jesus in the long ago stooped and wrote on the ground and arese gnd looked for the wc cusers of the poor unfortfinate who also themselves were guilty, He found none. Gradually the publicity given to evil and evildoers is foreing wickedness in high places to retrench, Occasionally a howl is heard when sin is attacked aud a wealthy church man sees his revenue touched, but by degrees the Christian world is demanding a living wage for the girls of our country, and this de mand is being yielded to by the powers that be. The weakest saint upon his knees can make the devil and his forces ery out. No wonder that when mikitant business men take the matter-up and go about the crusade against it in an intelligent, businesslike way that a mighty yell goes up, but the good work goes on. The fires kindled in Atlanta are grad ually eatching in Birmingham, Dallas, Little Rock, Charlette, Asheville, Ath ems, and in the great metropolitan eities of the United States. The ‘‘red light distriets,”’ where vultures prey upon vir tue, where the exceeding sinfulness of sin is more andl more manifest, are be ing clesed. Sinful women are repent ing. Men who were more brutes than citizens have sorrowed over conditions, and a radical change has taken place as regards vice. Fight on, oh! soldiers of Christ! The great Captain has said that the gates of hell should not pre vail against your onslaught. If at the first march around the walls fail to rall, keep on in God’s strength until the sev enth time, and His power will prevail ard the walls of vice and evil will fall with a crash. A Mission of Service. Jesus was not an epicurean in his lifs and teachings. Self always came last with this Master Teacher. Duty eame before pleasure. The moving pleture shows are in many instances of a harm less nature. Suppose that the money spent on the movies daily were spent for education and charity and missions, Soft grinks are usecless and eould be dispensed with. Suppese that the doi lars used in this way to gratify seif were given to the poor?” It would be well, as we consider the matter of money and benevolence, to note that God holds us responsible for sins of omissien as well as for sins of commissien. ‘That we are not only responsibie for the money that we have te spend for char ity, but that likewise we are responsi ble for that which we do not have but possibly which has been wasted in riot ous or frivelous living. ‘'Then shall the King say unto them on His right hand, Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the workl, For | was an hungered and ye gave Me meat. | was thirsty and ye gave Me drink. [ was a stranger and ye teok Me in, naked and ye clotheg Me, | was sick and ye vis ited Me, | was in prison and ye came unto Me. Then shall the rightecus answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we Thee an hungered and fed thee, athirst and gave Thee drink” When saw we Thee a stramger and took Thee in, or naked and clothed Thee? Or when saw we Thee sick and in prison and came unto Thee? Ar/d the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unte you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of .the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unte Me.” The mission of the Master is that eof His church. Where he led we should follow. What He commanded we should do. For in doing what He has commanded we have His premised presence alway, even unto the end of the age. 15
