OHUISTIAN LOVE.
A SERMON PREACHED AT ADAIRSVILLE,
BY A. S. TATUM, APRIL 1892. PUB-
LISHED BY REQUEST.
"This is my commandment. That ye love one
auother.” John 15 :12.
Def. Love is first, a natural pas
sion. This natural love made the
seven years which Jacob served
for Rachel, seem unto him but a few
days. Second, it is a gracious prin
ciple. It is this love, that can raise
the affections from things ' earth
to things above. Natural’Ave may
be lawful or unlawful. “He that
loveth his life shall lose it, and he
that hateth his life in this world, shall
keep it unto life eternal.” Love is
Human and Divine. “Husbands love
your wives, even as Christ loved
the Church.” Eph. 5:25. “God so
loved the world that he gave His
Son,” etc. It is love divine which
constrains Christians to love one-an
other, and ministers Christians, as
when Dual, in much affection, and
anguish u of heart, wrote unto the Cor
inthians with many tears, that they
might know his abundant love unto
them. Os Christians to ministers, as
when they are exhorted to abound
in the grace of giving, as they do in
that of love towards the apostles.
2 Cor. 2;4 and 8 :7-8. This mutual
love is essential first as being one of
the ten commandments. Second, as
being enforced by Christ under the
Gospel dispensation. “'This is my
commandment,” Christ, not only by
divine authority, does he enjoin it,
but as the last words of a friend, des
ignated for our, individual, mutual
and spiritual good. Therefore the
design of this brief discourse is
with a view, of encouraging the exer
cise of this Christian grace. No one
word will so fully express the obli
gations of pastors to their churches,
or churches their pastors, or as
church members towards each other
as that of love. If love without dissim
ulation exists, every other necessary
good will follow. It is from God as
a golden chain reaching down from
heaven, binding the hearts of his
children ; as the poet has sung
“Love is the golden chain that binds
our hearts in Christian love.” H
may be called the soul of true Chris
tian religion. The uniting stitch
linking together the hearts of God’s
people. The leading grace of each
keaven-born soul; designed by its
increase, to sanctify the general
course, of the conduct of all to whose
hearts it is given. There is no pow
er so well calculated to preserve and
maintain the peace and prosperity of
our country. It obliterates envy,
quiets revenge, silences the tongue
of slander, and of evil speaking; and
encourages the despondent heart;
supports the feeble ; visits the sick ;
comforts the bereaved ; binds up the
broken heart, and sends the bread
of life to the perishing souls of other
lands. In a word, it is at the foun
dation of every good work.
When founded on the first table
of the law, carried out in the second,
it is the fulfillment of all its require
ments. “All the law is fulfilled in
one word, namely, “Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself.” Hence it
is called the Royal law, which en
joins us to esteem our brother for
his virtues, to be grateful to him for
his kindness,” to sympathize with
him in his infirmities, to comfort him
in his sorrows ; to assist him in his
difficulties; with all good offices
u Inch gives it expression.
Love operates so as to be distin
guishing ; it is not blind, God-like
it embraces sinners but not their sin.
Loves even enemies, but not unkind
ness nor wicked treatment. Gives
no encouragement to crime ; but re
bukes it by example of kindness.
Love is corrective: “Whom the
Lord loveth he chastens.” With
love, the company, counsels, and
prayers of Christians, both, delight
ful and beneficial. Love recommends
our religion to others, but hatred
never. By making others happy we
increase our own. Nothing else
gives us such clear and unmistakable
evidence that we are in possession of
eternal life.
May we ever see in Christ, the
great example of true, unselfish, sacri
living love.
To lie destitute of the love of
Christ, is to be ignorant of a sacred
principle of immeasurable dimen.
sions of boundless joy and pleasure.
It is to abide still in darkness, and
shut out the golden sunlight of its
peace from others. “Ix-t brotherly
love continue.” Be kind, tender
hearted, forgiving, and your Heaven
ly Father will forgive you.
The way to fill the pews is first of
all to fill the pulpit.—Dr. C. H. Park
hurst.
THE PASTOR'S VACATION.
This is the time when many of our
pastors take a rest from their routine
of pastoral labor. A word pro and
con upon this subject will be oppor
tune. Some pastors’ who preach
to the same people eve’ry Sunday, do
not take a rest, not because they do
not need it, but their people are dis
inclined to give it. Let us look at
the question on both sides and see
if the pastor should take a vacation,
we believe it is Mr. Gladstone who
says that whenever a course of action
is set before him be carefully weighs
both sides and chooses the weightier.
There are some objections to the
pastors vacation. First of all the
prejudices of very many people are
against it. A little light on the sub
ject will likely remove this. There
are real objections. The pastor’s ab
sence is likely to cause the church to
become disorganized and scattered.
When the shepherd is away the wol
ves enter and mercilessly attack the
flock. A well shepherded church
however is likely to have some
among them who can exhort and
lead prayer-meetings and if this is
kept up every Sunday morning the
flock will not become scattered.
Again while the pastor is absent the
church is likely to decline spiritu
ally. This may be but should not
be. Os course there will be a falling
off from the regular congregation.
The prayer-meeting rather than the
Sunday service is the pulse of the
church. Many people attend Sun
day service because it is fashionable;
others because the preacher pleases
their fancy, and others still to wor
ship God. Because the first and sec
ond classes are not found at service
when the pastor is absent is no sign
f the spiritual decline on the part
of the church. If those who are the
pillows stay away, for no reason ex
cept the absence of the pastor, then
you may know that the spiritual
pulse beats low. A church is in a
sad state that must work their pastor
to death in order to keep spiritual
life within them. These objections
are of little weight if the church is
at all spiritually minded. Here is
another objection which we think
more serious, namely, the effect
which some pastors allow a vacation
to have upon them. They go to popular
summer resorts and in the gay whirl
of society they catch so much of the
spirit of the world that the Spirit of
Christ is completely hidden. Hu
man nature is a strange thing and it
ys perhaps natural for a man closely
confined in the duties of a large pas
toriate for nearly a year to feel dur
ing his vacation like a bird out of a
cage. But with his liberty he must
not give himself license. Some
good men have gone to such
an exrteme of folly as to incur
severest censure of all good people
and even to shake the people’s confi
dence in their piety. To rest at a
popular resort is in perfect harmony
with living and walking close with
God, and he who remembers in all
his supplications his absent flock will
not join very much in the folly of
the world.
Now for some things favorable.
In the first place a pastor needs a
rest. There is more mental work in
the pastorate than in any other intel
lectual pursuit. preaching
from two to four or five times a
week the strain of pastoral duty in
looking after the flock, numbering
from two-hundred <o one-thousand,
is immense. He is constantly with
the gay at weddings and with the
sorrowing at funerals. If any is in
distress they send for the pastor.
He looks after bodily as well as spir
itual wants. The sorrowing and
mourning of his church are as one
of his household. All of their troub
les they tell to the pastor as their
counselor and friend. If one suffers
loss from fire, storm or flood who but
the pastor relieves them? Besides
all this the work of all the church
lays upon his heart and often he is left
to do all the planning and thinking
for the church. Men who can run
an immense business of their own
often lend none of their experience
and ability towards organizing the
church; it is left entirely to the hard
worked pastor. Under such a strain
no wonder so many pastors suffer
from nervous prostration.
A man is not capable of doing his
best pulpit work for any great length
of time without taking a rest. The
chief duty of a pastor is to preach.
In order to do this well he must have
a sound mind and a sound body. A
fatigued man will no more preach
well than will a fatigued horse travel
well. Often a poor sermon is the
result not of laziness but of weari
ness. Our best preachers in the
eastern cities take from one to two
months rest every summer and south
ern churches would do well to imi-

tate their example. Taking it all in
all a little rest to the pastor every
summer is necessary for his health
and for vigorous growth on the part
of the church.

PHILIP PREACHING AT SAMARIA
Lesson for Sept. 4, 1892.
Scripture Lesson : Acts 8:5-25.
Motto Text. —“ And there was
great joy in that city.” (Verse 8.)
INTRODUCTION.
We have, in this lesson, the direct
result of that persecution which fol
lowed the death of Stephen, and
which was so vigorously maintained
by Saul. As the record says, of the
dispersed church-members, “They
that were scattered abroad went
every where preaching the word.”
But mention is made of the labors
of Philip only, who was one of the
seven deacons selected by the
church, and whose name appears in
the list, next to Stephen’s. (See
Acts 6 :5.) Perhaps he was the
first to preach the Gospel in Sama
ria. (See Acts 1 :8.) Precisely
what city is referred to, is uncertain;
but perhaps, the city of Samaria it
self. His success was phenominal,
and some of the results are stated in
our lesson.
EXPLANATIONS.
I. Philip Preaching at Sama
ria.—s-8. v. 5. “Went down to the
city of Samaria, and preached Christ,”
as Jerusalem was on a high moun
tain, other places were referred to
as down from Jerusalem. Td
“preach Christ,” was to proclaim
Him as the Messiah and that Jesus
of Nazareth was he. Philip let
alone all national disputes and dif
ferences and “preach Christ.” to
which they gave willing “heed,” or
paid good attention, “with one ac
cord,” by common consent, that is,
they gathered in larger numbers and
listened attentively, “to those things
which Philip spake,” as stated in
verse 5, and meaning, generally the
Gospel tidings. The miracles Philip
performed were signs that these tid
ings were a message from God ; and
their eager attention indicated faith
which was strengthened by hearing
what he done in other places and see
ing the miracles performed then. In
verse 7 we have a list of the mira
cles, and verse 8 tells us how glad
they were to hear things so much
better than what Simon had to say—
namely, the good news of salvation,
and of a Messiah already come.
Miracles confirmed Philip’s word, and
the power to perform them, was giv
en for that’every purpose. (See Mark
16 :20 ; Heb, 2 ;3.) Think how in
credible the story of Christ’s miracu
lous conception, death and resurrec
tion, would sound, without some
miraculous proofs, such as the acts
performed as stated in verse 7, and
these various cures, the Gospel tid
ings, and the happiness attending
conversion, are enough to produce
"joy*
11. The Believing Samaritans
Baptized. —9-13. We have, now,
the episode of Simon the Sorcerer,
introduced, here, partly that a com
parison may be made between his
sorceries and the miracles of
Philip ; and that a comparison may
also, be made between his teachings
and those of Philip. Simon was a
noted magician who, by his magic
arts and delusive statements had
created the impression that ho pos
sessed supernatural power, having
for a long time amazed them by his
sorceries or tricks. But, when they
heard Philip, whoso preaching “con
corning the kingdom of God,” lli s
Spiritual kingdom, “and the name
of Jesus Christ,” the Messiah and
Savior of the world,” all confirmed
by actual miracles, was far above
anything Simon had taught, “they
believed” what Philip preached, and
accepted Jesus as their Savior, “and
were baptized”—immersed, “both
men and women”—because they on
ly could believe. Indeed we are not
told, in the Now Testament of any
being baptized, but those who be
lieved. It is here said that “Simon
believed and was baptized,” ho be
lieved with his mind that Jesus was
the Messiah, being convinced by tho
miracles, that what Philip taught
was true ; but there was no regener
tion. Though he made an open pro
fession and was baptized, there was
|no real faith in Christ. He was as
i founded at miracles so far above
’ his power, and, perhaps, wishing to
acquire the power to perform them
‘continued with Philip,” that is, in
constant attendance upon him.
111. Simon’s Sin. —l 4-25. vs. 14-
17. We have hero the mission of
Peter and John, to investigate this
great work in Samaria. They found
it a genuine work, as was proved by
the gift of the Holy Spirit, accom.
panied by power conferred ; and it
was this excited the cupidity of Si.
mon, and made him offer money
that he might bo endowed with pow
er of conferring the Holy Spirit, by
laying on his hands, as Peter and
John had done. And this proved
the falsity of his conversion, as he
simply devised the power to enrich
himself. Peter’s indignation and
horror were aroused. He rejected
ffae offer and declared that Simon is
bound for destruction, as he was
utterly destitute of religion and with
out any share in its future rewards,
for his heart was not right in God’s
sight. He then urged Simon to re
pent, in hopes of obtaining forgive,
ness, if it was possible, for, as yet, he
was in a state of utter depravity and
slavery to sin. Fear, not repentance,
made Simon ask the apostles to
pray for him.

SITUATION,
No city in the entire South com
bines so many advantages as a seat
for a yonngladies’ college as Rome,
the Hill Citji of Georgia, the Queen
City Cherokee region. Anti
no spot is ijo elegible and nieets so
many requirements of such a school,
as the beautiful and commanding
eminence on which Shorter College
o
stands.
Situated in the Northwest corner
of Georgia, closely bordering on the
states of Alabama and Tennessee,
with numerous railways radiating in
every direction, making it conven
iently accessible to more distant sec
tions, Rome is the key to all the
Southern and Southwestern states.
All these have sent many pupils to
Shorter College, while several of the
Northern an<t Northwestern states
have been represented in its halls.
Young ladies from Florida and our
Southern seaboard come here to
build up their constitutions in this
bracing and salubrious air, while pu
pils from the North seek the' more
genial influences of this health-giv
ing climate.
And Shorter College, the pride of
Rome, sits like a queen, one hun
dred and fifty feet above the neigh
boring streets enjoys the purest air
and is the very home of health.
Not a death has occurred within its
walls, and no epidemic has visited
it. Only two or three cases of light
catarrh have given even a suspicion
of la grippe. Girls delicate in con
stitution become robust and healthy
after spending a few months in its
tonic atmosphere.
THE BEAUTIFUL SUBROUNDINGS.
The scenery around the college is
in the highest degree beautiful and
inspiring. Miles on miles of the most
picturesque and enchanting land
scape stretch before the view in
every direction—mountains, valleys,
forests, rivers, fields and meadows
combining to form the loveliest pic
tures on which the eye ever rested.
1 o live in the midst of this glorious
scenery is an education in itself.
Such environments expand the mind
exalt the imagination, refine the feel
ings and heighten the pleasures of a
school-girl’s life.
IMPROVEMENTS.
The munificent sum of 1170,000
was donated by tho late Alfred
Shorter for the erection and equip
ment of the college buildings. In
all the South no more imposing edi
fices are to lie seen than these mas
sive structures of brick and stone
whose excellence of arrangement is
equal to their beauty of design.
Crowning one of the loftiest of the
“seven hills,” these royal, palatial
buildings are the admiration of every
beholder.
The accommodations are sufficient
for 300 pupils, including about one
hundred boarders. The sleeping
rooms are supplied with elegant fur
niture, carpets and every comfort
of the best hotel, with all modern
heating, lighting and water conven
iences. The academic building is
furnished with neat desks of ap
proved pattern, and with all needful
educational appliances, such as scien
tific apparatus, cabinets, charts;
globes, libraries, medical instruments,
art models, etc. The college poss*
esses a magnificent Equatorial Tele
scope, and an excellent physical and
chemical outfit.
The grounds are laid off in broad
and beautiful terraced walks, neatly
graveled and bordered by evergreen
hedges and trees, and every variety
of flowering shrubs, while the slopes
are nicely turfed with blue grass-
The long, broad, winding terraces
afford to the girls the very best op
portunities for out-door exercise,
while in the sports of the gymna
sium and playground, amusement
is combined with necessary physical
exertion.
EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES.
These are among the very best. In
breadth and thoroughness of scholar
ship, in excellence of discipline, in
the ability and fitness of the faculty,
in the superiority of material equip
ments. Shorter College yields to no
competitor. The Conservatory of Mu-
sic ranksamong the best in the South.
All the teachers of both vocal and in
strumental music are artists, as well
as first-class instructors. The suc
cess of this department last year was
phenomenal, and the seven public
concerts besides the semi-monthly
recitals through the year demon
strated to hundreds the superior
skill and fidelity of the able director
and his accomplished assistants.
The School of Art enjoys a wide
celebrity, and its advantages are
sought by ladies from every part of
the South. The exhibition in June
of 450 drawings and paintings was a
triumph of art rarely seen. The ma
jority of the exhibits were from nat
ural objects, and evinced the super
ior methods and skill of the pupils
under the guidance of their unrival
ed teacher.
ELOCUTION AND PHYSICAL CULTURE
receive much attention and are
taught by experienced and skillful
teachers. The department of Sten
ography and Type-writing affords
excellent advantages for instruc
tion in these practical arts.
POST-GRADUATE AND SPECIAL
COURSES.
In addition to the extensive and
thorough curriculum pursued by un
der-graduates, with a view to at
taining the degrees of A. 8., (full
degree), and L. 8., (English degree)
the College offers the peculiar ad
vantages of a finishing school. Young
ladies who have completed the col
lege course in any institution of sim
ilar grade may here extend their
studies in any direction, acquiring a
deeper, wider more accurate know
ledge of the important branches of
education. In the study of the En
glish, Latin and Greek classics, in
Mathematics, in the Physical
sciences, in Mental, Moral and
Political Philosophy ample oppor
tunity is afforded in Shorter Col
lege for scholarship accurate and
varied enough to meet the wants of
those ambitious of the highest at
tainments.
Eclectic courses are marked out
for those who desire to perfect them
selves in select studies of the literary
course, and to extend their proficien
cy in Music, Art, Elocution or Phon
ography. As a finishing school
Shorter College offers special advan
tages.
EXPENSES.
For the superior facilities afforded
the charges of the college are mod
erate. Reductions on the regular
rates are made when two or more
pupils come from the same family, or
four or more from the same neigh
borhood, or where a pupil takes
more than two optional studies be
sides the literary course. The col
lege gives free literary tuition to the
daughters of ministers of the gos
pel engaged in active ministerial
work.
ACCESSIBILITY.
The seven approaches to Rome by
railway render the college easy of
access from every point of the com
pass. The East Tennessee Railroad
by its Alabama division penetrates
eastern, middle and southern Ala
bama, while the Rome and Decatur
R. R. to Gadsden and Birmingham
opens the way to the Northern and
Western portion of that great state.
These two lines terminating at Me
ridian, Mississippi, make the way to
Rome easy from Mississippi and the
Southwest. Tennessee and Ken
tucky are reached by the Georgia
Central, the East Tennessee and the
Western and Atlantic railroads.
Every part of Georgia, the Carolinas
and Florida is conveniently accessi
ble by the Western and Atlantic, the
East Tennessee and the Central of
Georgia.
