but he comes to God because he is
chosen of God,and is called of God,
“Blessed be the God and Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath
blessed us with all spiritual bles
sings in heavenly places in Christ.
According as he hath chosen us
in him before the foundation of the
world, that we should be holy and
without blame before him in love.”
Eph. i, 3,4. This language was
written by Paul the apostle, as it
was given by inspiration of God;
and was written to the church at
Ephesus, and has no reference to
the twelve apostles being chosen
to apostleship, as some claim.
Paul was not one of the twelve
apostles, which were called by the
Savior, when he was dwelling in
the flesh on earth. I maintain
that the word “us” embraces Paul
and the church to which he was
writing,at least; and the way they
were saved, is the way all are saved
that are saved. I argue further
more, that the expression “before
the foundation of the world,”
means before the casting down of
the universe; according to Wil
son’s Emphatic Diaglott, that is
the proper rendering of that
Scripture. So the choice was be
fore the casting down of the uni
verse. “that we should be holy.”
not that we were holy, nor that
God saw we would become holy by
our own actions, but his purpose
in choosing, was to make the ob
jects of his choice holy in time ac
cording to his eternal purpose.
“But we are bound to give thanks
always to God for you brethren
beloved of the Lord, because God
hath from the beginning chosen
you to salvation through sanctfica
tion of the Spirit and belief of • the
truth.” What did the apostle thank
God for in the Scriptures? Did he
thank God that the brethren had
obeyed the terms of the Gospel,
and become the chosen of God, af
ter obedience? Surely not. He
thanked God fcr what God had
done for the brethren, that he had
•aricdfied.wre set apart by the spirit
to eternal salvation, and belief
<.f the truth. This doctrine is
taught all through the book of in
spiration; .however, I will not
quote any more scripture in sup
port of this Bible truth at present
as I do not want to make my arti
cle too lengthy. I wonder some
times. why professed Christians
would speak against the truth that
would move the man of God to
give thanks for. The only reason
lean assign, is that they are not
reconciled to the will of God, are
not willing for God’s will to be
done in all things. “O man, who
art thou that repheat against God?”
I desire to be greatful to the God
that had thoughts of mercy toward
a poor sinner like me, and in lov
ingkindness called me by his grace
and gave me a hope of life and im
mortality, beyond this world of
sin and sorrow.A hope as an anch
or of the soul, which reaches
within the vail, where our high
priest has entered, where the re
deemer shall praise him forever

EXPERIENCE.
Ochlockonee Ga., July, 16 1895.
Dear Mr. Hanks:—l have a
most earnest desire to write you
what I hope has been the dealings
of the Dear Lord with poor me.
Many times when I was with you,
and when I was not, have wanted
to tell you, but ieel too little and
unworthy to try to talk to as good
a man as I believe you are. But
to-day I feel like I must write you.
Was about fourteen years of age
when 1 was made to see what a
wretched sinner I was. It was all
done one day sitting down medi
tating over the past, and while
there I saw a beautiful light, it ap
peared right before me, seemed
like it would nse up a little, and
disappear and then would come
back. I did not know what to
think. Seemed like I wad as light
as a fether and was so happy. I
just wanted to sing all that even
ing, but after that day, it all pass
ed away and I was afraid I was
decived. Doubts and fears soon
come in the way. But I belive
we all have them at times, I do
very often, then they will pass
away and I am happy again. Now
Mr Hanks I will leave this for
you to say whether it is an expe
rience of grace or not. It seems
like I would be better satisfied if
I knew it was. Wish you would
tell me what you think about it.
1 am going to expect you to come
to see us while you are up here
this time, was disappointed when
youdidnt come before. I love
the old Baptist, love to be with
them, and love Oh so well to bear
them talk, especially the preachers.
Truly hope 1 will be able to go
to meeting for Ido enjoy going.
This leaves myself, dear husband
babe well ususual. And truly hope
this will find yourself and family
enjoying the same blessing. I
will desist as I have wrote all my
feelings will let me. Your true
friend

OBITUARY.
•»
Annie M. Holloway, w ife of E.
Holloway, and second daughter
of W. F. and Barbara Shuman,
was born Nov. 10th 1860. AVas
married to E. Holloway June sth
1884, Died at her home in Brooks
Co Ga. Sept. 13th 1895. aged 34
years, 10 months and 3 days,
Was hurried at old Bethel church
the following day, in the presence
of many relatives and friends.
fatal disease She
had been failing in health for
over a year, but was not confined
to her bed only two months. All
was done for her that could be
done by loving hands. But to no
avail; the time had come for God
to call her home. She leaves a
kind and loving husband, six
dear little children, father, moth
er, and four sisters, together with
her husband’s people who loved as
parentsand brothers and sisters
can, to mourn her loss, besides
many friends and relatives. Tru
ly a fond wife and mother has “fel
len asleep.” I feel unqualified to
write of my sister’s noble quali
ties, but to those who knew her
best, knew her worth and purity,
her walk in life, was one of beau
ty, worthy of imitation. She was
loving and kind, generous and true
ever ready to scatter seeds of kind
ness, and to offer words of cheer
and comfort to the sad and afflict
ed. Ever ready to deny self for
the pleasures of others. She
tried to raise her children right so
they would grow to usefulness.
She joined the Methodist church
seven years ago, and while in
some respects, she became dissat
isfied, yet she never united w’ith
any other order, but tried to live
as a Christian should, and truly
her efforts were not in vain. She
talked freely of a sweet hope in
Jesus, and that “Home beyond
the skies,” and that happy rest
over the river. What a glorious
change it would be for her. She
bore her suffering with great pa
tience and fortitude, Seldom
mourned or complained, but lay
patiently waiting the summons.
She would speak of death as cam
]y as if it was only to sleep, and
truly to her it was a blessed sleep.
Free from pain and crave to be
forever with Jesus. She was
rational to the last moments of
her life. And died clasped in her
faith! ul husband’s arms. 0! how
hard to give her up, but why '
grieve? It wont be long until God
gathers all His jewels home. He
plucks the rarest brightest gems,
families, as was manifested be
tween sisters and her husband’s
people. How they loved each
other. Her talk of them was al
ways with love and kindness.
But why say more?. J I have not
words to express what she was to
us who loved her. God called
her home and we can only bow
in humble submission. I ask the
prayers of God’s people in our be-
■ reavement. How I longed to see
iier dear face ere death stilled
the throbbing heart, but alas I my
own illness pervented the boon I
craved. Not even in death could
take the farawell kiss; but God
willed it so. To the' sorrowing
husband I will say, -‘look up to
Jesus.” He has taken your dar
ling for some noble purpose. And
may you meet her in Heaven
Annie has only gone before. I
never knew more love between
when you too must cross over the
River. As a husband you done
your part well. May God be with
you and the dear little children.
To all who mourn look with poor
me to the Lord of beauty and pow
er. He alone can heal our wounds
Faiewell dear sister thou has
! left us
| For a brighter world above,
j AV here no care or sorrows enters
But all is joy and love.
AVo miss you from our fireside
We miss your vacant chair.
We miss you morn and night,
AVe miss you everywhere.
In loving rememberance.
