CENTRAL OF GEORGIA PASSENGER
* TRAINS 98 PERCENT ON TIME IN 1924 < •
-
The Central of Georgia recognizes that the operation of trains on time is one of
the main factors in that satisfactory service which the public has a right to expect.
It is a matter of pride to the Central of Georgia that in Nineteen Hundred and
Twenty-four 98 per cent of its passenger trains were on time. During the year we oper¬ » I
ated on our 1920 miles of track 37,269 passenger trains, of which 36,509 maintained
schedule. The record by months for 1923-1924 is as follows:

- The passenger on the Central of Georgia may rely upon much more than on-time
. arrival at his destination. He P, assured of safety. For the past 8 years this railway
has had but one passenger fatality, and this was an individual who fell off the back
- platform where he was standing, hit on his head and was killed. In these 8 years the
Central of Georgia has carried than 32,000,000 *
m /re passengers.
Provision for the comfort of the traveling public is made by im dern steel equip
merit. Constant improvements are being made to the trac so as to in in. smooth r'd
yVmg. New etficiefey, locomotives are purchased annually and the motive power 1 . kept in a high ! I
ate of therdv guarding against engine failure with their consequent an
delays. In 1924 the Central of Georgia had fewer engine failures than at any
time in its history, its locomotives averaging 92,742 miles per engine failure.
These are some of the things which in dicate the ability of the Central of Georgia V
to render efficient passenger transportatio n service.
The elements enter into the making of efficient freight transportation ❖
'•* same serv¬
ice. The demands of modern business are such that shippers and receivers of freight de¬
sire the assurance of prompt handling. Thi s railroad operates what are known as *
through or manifest freight trains on fast schedules. In 1924 of the 5,399 manifest
freight trains operated, 5,033 or 93.2 per cent were on time. ■ S •
In ail departments of the railway employes take great pride in our reputation *
> for efficiency and courtesy. 1
* •
Service is now the only basis of competition among the railroads and it is the pur¬ R
8 pose of the Central of Georgia to develop to the highest degree the organization, ||
equipment and facilities for satisfactory service. 4“

Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. ||

BIBLE CLASS
Notes
THE BOOK OF GENESIS
Chapter 16
\ By J. W. SMITH
HAGAR
Great spiritual blessings are, as a
rule, followed by temptations. Faith
confirmed is sure to be tested. In
the previous chapter Abram is strong
in faith, wholly relying on God; in
this chapter he is weak in faith, ant!
acting in the energy of the flesh, l!
was easy for Abram to receive the
promise; but it was hard for him to
wait for its fulfillment. This shows
that the saint, no matter how well
| developed his spiritual life may be,
is liable to fall into error and sin.
Here we are reminded of the words
of Paul to the Corinthians; “Where
fore let him that thinketh he stand
eth take heed lest he fall.”
In this chapter we have—
1. The Impatient Step. Vss. 1-3.
“Sarai took Hagar and gave her to
her husband to be his wife.” Though
| Abram was told that his seed would
be as the stars that eannot be num
bored, there was nothing said about
Sarai being the mother of the heir.
Their patience was sorely tried by
the delays of Providence: so they con¬
cluded that God had some other way
of making His promise good. Instead
of waiting for God’s way and time,
they used means, suggested by their
own wisdom, to hasten the fulfill¬
ment of the promise. Sarai, having
concluded that the Lord had restrain
( ed her from having children, propos¬
ed, acocrding to existing custom, that
Abram take Hagar, her handmaid, as
a secondary wife; and if children
came from this union, they would be
hers. This policy was prompted, not
by base passion, but by a sincere de¬
sire to be a blessing to all the fami¬
lies <>f the earth by the promised Re¬
deemer.
There is a sense in which some
churches manifest the same impati¬
ence in order to hasten the work they
are trying to do. They aim at multi¬
plication of members, and seek to
win them, not so much by fervent
prayer and faithful preaching, but by
different kinds of amusements; so
that today Ishmaels (the children of
bondage) are found in great numbers
in the church, while the Isaacs (the
children of freedom) are in the mi
rority. Did 1 say the Ishmaels are
found in great numbers in the
church? I mean their names are on
the church roll.
2. The Unhappy Result. Vss. 4-6.
Strange to say that the
marriage of Abram to Ilagar
nated with Sarai. The union
the position of Ilagar from a
to that of a wife. The elevation
troduced serious trouble into the
triarch’s household. In many
those who are suddenly advanced to
places of honor are filled with con¬
ceit and pride, and lose their equi¬
librium. It was so with Hagai'. As
soon as she was raised to a superior
position her mistress was despised by
her.
Soon the fiery temper of Sarai
manifested itself and jealousy took
possession of her. With reason cast
aside for a time, she clamored up¬
on her husband and unjustly charg¬
ed him with the injury, saying, “My
wrong be on thee.” She was reaping
what she had sown.
Here we see that the Best of peo¬
ple have their domest'c intentions.
Trapp ys, “Two flints maj as soon
smite together, and net fire come
forth, as two persons meet in mar¬
riage and not offen'es fall cut.” If
oeace and love are to be maintained
in the home, the fiei.v words of anger
must be quenched with the soft an
swers of kindness. The head of the
house and the heart ot the home
should avoid squabbles, at least en¬
deavor not to be both angry at the
same time. Th-> husband is to honor
and love his wife, and she, the weak
or cssel, is to revel once hei husband
and never to carry too much sail.
3. The Sorrowful Flight. Vs. 6.
When Hagar acted vainly and sin¬
fully toward her mistress, Sarai, in¬
cited by revenge, dealt hardly with
her, making her serve with rigidity.
The high spirit of the Egyptian wo¬
man could not bear the rebuke: so
she fled from her mistress and for¬
sook her master who also was her hus¬
band. She, no doubt, followed the
carayan road from Hebron to Egypt,
which led through the wilderness of
Shur, intending to reach her cm
home. It was, indeed, a sorrowful
flight.
Here we are reminded of Paul's
teaching, how masters should forbear
threatening, remembering that the
great Master is in heaven, with Whom
there is no respect of persons, and
how servants should be obedient to
their masters, serving with good will,
knowing that they shall in no wise
lose their reward.
4. The Gracious Search Vss. 7-9.
After weary hours of excitement,
with the burning sun beating upon
her aching head, her swollen limbs
trembling from exhaustion, and her
sustaining pride ebbing away with
her strength, Hagar sat down beside
a fountain of water, half repenting
of the hasty step she ha'.' taken, and
yearning for the peace she once en¬
joyed in the house of her mistress.
Here the angel of the Lord found her
and said, “Hagar, Sarai’s maid,
whence comest thou and whither wilt
thou go?’ After the humbling con
fession she was commav.ded to re
turn to her mistress and submit her
self under her hand; for she was still
Sarai’s maid. With misty eyes and
penitent spirit she returned and serv¬
ed her thirteen years longer.
It is when our strength is gone,
our pride flung into the dust, the
burning sky of God’s vengeance IS
above us, and hell with its everlast¬
ing torments is open underneath us,
that we are willing to hear the Di
vine voice, return to the Father’s
house, and submit ourselves to Him.
5 The Encouraging Promise
V*.. 10, 11.
“I will multiply thy seed exceed¬
ingly.” During the years she served
under Sarai a remembrance of this
promise, by many serious musings
upon it, would comfort her d'=
couraged heart and cheer her dnop
ing spirit. She knew that God Whose
eye was upon her moment by moment
would fulfill His word.
God has given us great and pre
coius promises to animate us in our
work, to keep alive our zeal, and to
cheer us on our pilgrim journey. W ith
firm faith in the Saviour we shall find
door of hope in every dark valley
of sorrow, a river of joy in every
flinty rock of trial, and a stream of
light in every black dungeon of des¬
pair.
6. The Remarkable Prophecy. Vs. 12.
And he (Ishmael) shall be as a
wi ass among men; his hand shall
be against every man, and ever v
man’s hand against him; and he shall
dwell over against all his brethren.”
R. V. This prophecy has been liter
ally fulfilled. From the days of Ish
mae! to the present moment, the
Arabs have maintained their inde
pendency, have never been completely
subdued, have never changed their
manner of life, and have always oc
cupied the same tract of land, dwell
ing over against their brethren.
7. The Impressive Thought. Vs. 12
“Thou God seest, me.” He sees us
through and through. He knows our
joys and our sorrows, our
and our feelings, our strength and
our weakness. He hears the feeble
words of our mouths, the untiring
beats of our hearts, and the respira-
tory murmurs of our breasts. David
sang: "0 Lord, Thou has searched
me, and known me. Thou knowest
my downsetting and mine uprising.
Thou understandest my thoughts afar
off. Thou eompassest niy path and
my lying down, and art acquainted
with all my ways. For there is not
a word in my tongue, but, lo, 0 Lord,
Thou knowest it altogether.”
We learn from this portion of
God’s word that—( 1 ) The faith of
God's children is often tested. ( 2 )
Faith in God may require patient
waiting for Him. (3) The evil heart
blames others for its own sins. (4)
Mistakes are easily made but not
easily remedied. (5) Christ seeks the
lost. ( 6 ) God meets us very often
when we are alone. (71 God questions
us not to condemn us but to save us.
( 8 ) The way to restoration and fel¬
lowship is the way of obedience and
ubmission.

It’s a waste of time to experiment
with liniments and plasters when you
have u dull, throbbing backache or ;
sharp, stabbing twinges. Get after the I
cause! Help the kidneys with Doan’s
Fills. Read this.
T. J. McCord, prop, of taxi, Main
St., Forsyth, Ga., says: “Sharp pains
and a dull, thumping ache through
the small of my back caused a lot of
annoyance. When I stooped, it felt
like u knife sticking into my back.
I felt weak and tired and didn’t have
enough ambition to do anything.
Mornings my back and shoulders were
stiff. My kidneys acted too freely
and 1 had to get up several times at
night to pass the secretions, which
were scalding and highly colored. A
box of Doan’s Pills put my kid¬
neys in a healthy condition and
vanced age, I am feeling first-rats
rid me of the trouble. fAt my ad
give Doan’s the credit.”
