STANDARDS OF THE KINGDOM
^ Lesson Text: Mat. 6th Chapter.
Golden Text: Blessed are the pure in
heart for they shall Bee God.
In the summer of A. D. 28 Jesus
chose his twelve apostles. Previous to
the choosing he had spent an entire
night in pruyer. At the same time he
If we ignore the standard we descend
to the level of the publican. Our model
is before us—our Heavenly Father.
Our duty is clear. Obey him in love
Results
All men were guilty of sin and the
price of sin was death. Jesus was
preachej the sermon on the mount, man’s substitute and he suffered and
This was and has ever been a mas- j died. The law required man’s suffer-
terpiece of literature- We might say
that it was the inaugural address of
the new kingdom. This sermon was
delivered to the 12 and to the assem
bled multitudes.
B. H. S. MUSIC DEPARTMENT
The Character of Christiana
The character of Christians is
beautifully expressed in the bcuti-
tudes. The kingdom came into its own
we might say that is, began to lunc-
tion as a new dispensation with the
selection of the 12. The question is
often asked, who are the chosen ones
or who will be the .chosen ones, or who
can belong to, this kingdom? The
eighth beatitude gives the most ‘ su
blime answer to be given.
Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Childhes had as
their spend the day guests Sunday,
Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Cox, Mr and Mrs
Robert Blythe and little daughter, all
of Junction City.
Mrs. J. W. Rogers and son, Mr. Or-
vill Rogers, of Macon, were Sunday
guests of Mrs. J. A. Wilson and fam
ily, being en route home from Rusk,
Texas, where they attended the fu
neral of Hon. J. F. Beall, brother of
Mrs. Rogers.
After a loss of four weeks the mu
sic pupils are trying to get settled in
their work again-
All the students who were ill with
measles have returned except Clyde
Afay Green who is still absent. She
is one of the most talented pupils
and is being missed from the studio.
Oscar Adams was also out the first
week of school.
Mildred Montgomery from the High
School music department, was absent
again last week on account of illness.
Chorus work and rhythm orchestra
practice have been resumed, and the
students are hoping to get in the re
cital before examination.
There are several things the music
pupils may look forward to this
spring. First, the MacDowell Festival
in Atlanta in March. Then the senior
convention at Savannah in April. One
day, the 12th, will be given to the
juniors, not in contest as usual but a
music festival and quite an interesting
program is being planned. The local
music clubs should enjoy both of these
musical advantages.
The grammar school music pupils
are delighted with thetr new history
of music books.
Mr. J. S. Green and Dr. H. H. Gee
attended an important meeting of the
American Legion at Cordele Sunday.
They were accompanied to Cordele by
Mrs. Green and Mrs. Gee, who were
delightfully entertained during the
afternoon by Mrs. Phonie Ingram.
It will be a source of regret to his
I many Butler friends to know that Mr.
IF. S. Frierson, of Macon, formerly of
I this city, is at the Central of Georgia
I hospital, at Savannah, for treatment.
1 llis condition is not serious we are
pleased to learn.
■ Mrs. R. R. Dunwody was guest of

1 bdwards entertained her Bridge Club

WISHAM—HOBBS
Of cordial interest, to .their many,
friends was the marriage of Miss
Bessie Jewell Wisham to Mr. Neadum
Hobbs which occurred at the home of
Rev. J. T. Flournoy on Jan. 14th.
The bride is the daughter of ' Mr.
and Mrs. H. S Wisham of this county
and was a member of the eighth
grade of Rupert junior high school at
the time of her marriage.
The groom a son of Mr. and Mrs.
J. F. Hobbs also of this county.
Christian Influence i
Two figures of speech as recorded
by Mathew picture the influence of
the Christian as vividly as it can be
expressed. As salt they keep the world
from going wholly to the bad, pre
serving it from putrifuction and sav
ing at the service. They are light unto
the pathway of the worldly and shine
away the darkness and by manifest.
good modestly glorify our heav
enly Father. After his description iof
the. new kingdom Jesus goes on to
relate the superiority of the new dis
pensation over the old. He tells us in
no mistakable tones that he came not
to do away with the old law but to
enlarge upon it and complete it.
The New Law
Jesus plainly tells us that we must
not violate the external work of the'
scribes and pharasees, but calls fior
a righteousness • that springs from
within in a spirit that is animated by
a spiritual nature. Thus obedience of
this kind is the only distinction that
we can get in the nkingdom of
heaven.
This law is not restricted to family
circles ami close friends. It must in',
elude even our enemies. We must ex
press our love for our enemies by
praying for hem. Thus we show our
selves to be .children of he who sends
the rain and sunshine to both the
righteous and to the wicked. The giv
er of our natural gifts makes no dif
ference in saint anfl sinner and in our
supplications to .God we should be the
same to both friend and enemy. We
may be forcibly arrayed against our
enemy but at the same time we are
admonished to pray for them.
Character
The kingdom of Jesus was just be
ing starter as something useful. With
the choosing of the disciples. Thence
there arises a question who can be a
subject in the kingdom? Jesus ans
wers his hearers by telling them the
subjects are not to be the godless rich
not the thoughtless one but the poor
in spirit and those that mourn, the
merciful and pure in heart. He taught
at this instance that privileges to be
subject to the kingdom is associated
with character. By' being poor
spirit not only makes them belong to

ing and death. The law required suf.
fering and death to the amount of sin. ,
Christ was God as well as man and |
his divine nature gave merit to the
suffering und death of human nature.
Chrfst was man that he might suffer
and die. Christ paid the whole debt.
Where the sin of Adam is laid upon
man. He and the Father are one.
“Neither pray I for those alone but
for them also which shall believe on
me, through their word, that they all
may be one, as thou, Father, art one
in me, pnd I in thee, that they also
may be one in us.”
You Must Be in “Christ”.
“In Christ shall all be made alive.”
The law must see no one but Christ.
He puid iai all. He owed the law r.o
debt. His body did die, but it did so
voluntarily. “1 lay down my life for
the sheep.” “No man taketh it from
me but I lay it do\yn of myself." The
great act that makes Christ unu us
one is faith in him. If Christ had not
died, he would have no value lo us.
The New Abode
When man is converted he has re
gained his paradise and Christ beau
tifully portrays to us the way to re
gain Paradise in the seimon on the
mount.
Our Future Abode
We have ueen studying the prin
ciples .of divine love in the beatitudes
and And them the way to ooium
eternal life and a home with Him that
is eternal. St. John gives us some
conception of what we would be lead
up to when he spoke that wondeitul
sermon that day. The result is if we
carry out what the beatitudes teach is
a home described by St. John as fol
lows: That eternal .city is built of
pure gold. The city was 16(a) miles in
circumference. It had 12 gates, each
of these gates were a single pearl.
The city was surrounded by a, wall of
jasper. It also rested upon 12 founda
tions of precious stones. The city was
paved with pure gold and was in a
new earth. In the midst of the city
was the thror.e ,of God and the lamb
from out of which prococdod the river
of life. It is this city which symbolizes
the heavenly state which is made pos
sible for man by Christ, “the’way.”
He is also the tree .of life. Not a sin
gle tree for they shade all the.streets.
These trees are covered with fadeless
leaves. They have branching limbs
that bear fruit at all time that the
inhabitants of the hcav-ly '•it" rr »
eat and taste forever. Herein is life
and life forever.
The Other .Side o the Picture
Sin and its penalty special
death are cause and effect and are so
inseparable that one cannot exist
without the other. As life is man’s
normal state so death is his abnor
mal state. Sin cut off his gc-ess to
the tree of life ard banished him from
the Garden of Eden. It cut the bond
between God and man. It disobeyed
the attractive power of love. It cast
man out into darkness so far as God’s

that you have a kind heart and an

you for advice.
I am a young lady and am
deeply in love with a certain young

seemed to care a lots for me; in
fact I have reasons to believe that
he was ready to ask for my hand
in matrimony, but lately it seems
that his love for me has grown
I have reasons to believe that
he is going out with other'girls
but when I ask him about this he
denies it.
I want you to please tell me
some way to win him back, for i
think he would make me an ideal

Be Poor

only source of supply.
Be Sorrowful
“Blessed are they that mourn”, not
being blue and melancholy, not con-

person therefore is the only truly
happy peson.
Be Hungry

Have an aspiration to be the very
best. Desire righteousness as fervent

Be Merciful
“Blessed are the merciful.” Have
due consideration for others. Be gra

We are commanded to love oneen-

Why
Liquid Laxatives
are Back in Favor
The public is fast returning to the use
of liquid laxatives. People have
learned that the properly prepared
liquid laxative will bring a perfect
_ movement without any discomfort
” at the time, or after.
The dose of a liquid laxative can
be varied to suit the needs of the
individual. The action can thus be
regulated. A child is easily given the
right dose. And mild liquid laxatives
do not irritate the kidneys.
Doctors are generally agreed that
senna is the best laxative for every
body. Senna is a natural laxative. It
does not drain the system like the
cathartics that leave you so thirsty.
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a
liquid laxative which relies on senna
for its laxative action. It has the
average person’s bowels as regular as
clockwork in a few weeks’ time.
You can always get Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin at any drugstore, ready
for use. Member N. It. A.
