(Continued from Ist page.) 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 more, A. A. Shovltz. Owensville, Ind., 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 Beswe Bbasley 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. Fannie K. Shuman. Sparks Ga. Oct. 9th, 95. APPOINTMENTS.
