[~The Little Voice (romTI
| the Blakely Circuit.
And He said unto them, render
therefore unto Caesar the things
which bo Caesar’s and unto God
the things which he Oofs, -Luke
20:25.
There is no one hurt worse than
he or she who knows their duty and
does it not. These inquirers knew
their duty. Verse five of thiß chap
ter will in part explain for us. “And
they reasoned with themselves, say
ing. if we shall say from Heaven He
will say, why then believe him not?”
This reasoning was after he had
asked them a question. Verse 3.
And again you will notice the 22nd
verse. They asked, “is it lawful for
us to give tribute?” Jesus speaks in
reply to them in verse 24. And they
answered Him in the same verse,
not showing the coin, hut saying Cae
aar’s. In other words they answer
ed their own question by asking one.
And this iH true with afiy people that
know what is right and fail to do it.
"Therefore, to him that knoweth to
do good and doeth it not, to him it
is sin.” James 4:17. Please notice
this is the present tense. We know
that we have passed from death un
lo life becauae we love the brethren.
1 John 3:14.
There are some religious
people on earth bA in our own
membership who pray for God to
bless them that they may help others
when they are already in shape to
do the \ory thing that they ask God
to do for them. They think that they
can fool folks. But they cannot. Peo
ple know enough truth to know bet
ter. So we will let 1 John 3:17 an
swer for them. “But whoso hath this
world's goods and Beeth his brother
hath need and shutteth up his bowels
of compassion from him, how dwell
ed! the love of God in him?’’ Love
Is the only torch that will burn ha
tred out of the heart. Listen again:
James will shed some light hear for
ua, “If a brother or sister be naked
and desitute of daily food and one
of you say unto them, depart in peace ;
be ye warmed and filled notwith- i
standing ye give them not those |
things which are needful to the j
body, what doth it profit?” James i
2:15-16. You see from this state- i
ment that the sacred writer shows
that all people answer their own j
questions by asking "what is my j
duty?” In other words, trying to ;
lie out of the right thing you can j
not tell yourself a falsehood. Try and j
aee. The wise man asked this i
question, ‘‘Can a man take fire in j
hia bosom and his clothes not be j
burned?" Prov. 6:27. Listen again
to him, "He that covereth his sins
shall not prosper.'.’ Prov. 28:13.
Jesus said, “Fear them not, for
nothing be hid that shall not be
known." Mat. 10:26. "For there is
nothing hiu which shall not be man
ifested.” Mark 4:22.
So it was those men's consciences
that spoke back to them in their
reasoning, and all who have known
their duty, from the first man down
to the present day. So brethren and
sisters, gentlemen and ladies, fellow
citizens, come on. This is a time
to show good things. The evil will
show itself, for right will not go out
any more than the light of the
sun. And if God be for us, who can
be against us? Let us be true to
our vows and pay every debt we can
and make it pleasant for the others
and wo will he honored and respected
in the days to come.

Mrs. Edward Mercier, of Columbia,

her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. G.

Mrs. M. H. Weaver and daughter,
Lula, of Donalsonville, are visiting
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W.

Through the efficient work of Dr.
Hund, Mrs. Caesar, who has been
very sick with "flu” for the past six
weeks , has sufficiently recovered
to spend from Thursday to Saturday
at Mayhaw, Miller county.
Sir Walter Scott’s mother was a

described as rather dull.
Let me kiss those tears away,
pleaded Jim to the sweet girl. She
fell into his arms. For several min
utes he was busy, but the tears
j flowed on. Can nothing stop them ?
|asked Jim. “No,” she replied, “it is
I hay fever, but go on with the treat
' ment."
Visitor to little brother: ‘‘So Miss
'May is your oldest Bister? And who
J comes ufter her?" “No one, yet,"
replied the little brother, "but she is
in hopes you have.”
The country church closely affects
every one. It is by no means ren
dering the service of which it is
capable, but it can be made to do so.
| There is away that the country
1 church can be bettered—and that is,
by the membership doing what they
believe Jesus would do if the problem
wab placed in His hands for solution.
The trouble with spending our lives
lor soft places is that when we have
found them, there is no time left
in which to enjoy them.
I Every duty we omit obscures some
truth we should have known. There
is no schooling like the persistent
• doing of the right as that right
| reveals itself.
C. M. and N. D. sickness has
1 caused the delay, but we will soon
be in position to do the work.
