| Voice fromTj
| the Blakely Circuit. |
“Come unto me all ye that la
bor and are heavy laden and I
will give you rest” —Mat. 11:28.
This Voice will soon be hushed
and this man will soon be gone, leav
ing behind him some good and some
bad, but will meet his works at the
bar of God, and you will, too. But
the Voice that calls me to Him who
uttered the words of the text has
promised rest from our labors when
we work the works of God. “Many
are called, but few are chosen,” and
then shall many betray one another,
and shall hate one another, and thi#
gospel of the kingdom shall be preach
ed in all the world, for a witness
unto all nations, and then shall the
end come.
People have lost confidence in
God and in each other, and all, like
sheep, have gone astray, every one
to his own way.
Why say I this? Because it shows
for itself, and all that you have to
do is to look for yourself. If the hu
man had not lost confidence in God
they surely would be living quite
differently, and one reason why I
say so is that those who name the
name of Jesus have failed to hold up
the true standard of Christianity.
Even our preachers, or some of
them, preach that God can not save
you from all sin. And those who
listen to such preaching ought to
turn to Matthew 1:21, and listen to
the angel that announced Jesus’ birth,
and here it is: “And she shall bring
forth a son and thou shalt call his
name Jesus, for he shall save his
people from their sins.” And John
1:7 reads thus: ‘‘But if ye walk in
the light as he is in the light we
have fellowship one with another,
and the blood of Jesus Christ His
Son cleanses us from all unright
eousness.” And any Methodist or
Baptist who does not hold up this
standard of living and preaching had
better watch your potato patch and
chicken pen and have as little deal
ings with him, unless it is to get
him to see the power of God, that he
is blind and is leading the blind, and
unless he quits his race and joins
the clean ones, he is sure bound for
Hell with both eyes wide open.
I can not help who this hits, it is
facts, and God dares any one to de
ny his word. Listen: “Whosoever is
born of God doth not commit sin for
his end remaineth in him and he
can not sin, because he is born of
God.”
The great founder of the Metho
dist church, John Wesley, in com
menting on this verse, said: “He
-wills not to sin.”
1 shall here ask a few questions:
Plave you ever seen a dead person
physically and alive at the same
time, or one asleep and awake or
sick and well, black but white, mar
ried and yet single I can- answer i
for you—no. You have never and
never will, and for these few simple
-questions, I will say this: You have
never nor ever will see a sinning
Christian. I double-dare you to say
so. Get this, and 1 will close, for
the book is the man of my counsel:
Rev. 22:11, “He that is unjust let him
be unjust still, and he which is filthy
let him be filthy still, and he that is
righteous, let him be righteous still,
and he that is holy let him be holy
still.” And verse 18 reads thus, “For 4
I testify unto every man that hear
eth the words of the prophecy of
this book: “If any man shall add un
to these things God shall add unto
him the plagues that are written in
this book.”
So let the old Book be your guide
and it will guide you to the haven
of rest, as he who uttered the text.
D. A. COOK, Pastor.

ALLEGED TRAIN
iWRECKERS ARRESTED
According to a Colquitt report
to the Albany Herald, Gary Maples,
38, and Ab Phillips, 23, were arrest
ed by Sheriff B. E. Houston, of
Miller county Wednesday morning
and lodged in the Miller county jail
on warrants charging them with an
attempt to wreck the southbound
passenger train on the
ida and Alabama railroad about one
mile north of Colquitt Sunday morn
ing.
A concrete signal post, weighing
more than 300 pounds, was taken
from its location on the right-of-way
and laid across the rails at the
southern end of a sharp curve. The
front trucks of the locomotive were
derailed when the train struck this
obstruction, but none of the passen
ger coaches left the rails.
Buggy tracks found near the
scene are said to have led to the
homes of Maples and Phillips, and
other circumstances connecting them
with the alleged attempt are said
to have been uncovered. It is the
theory of he officers that there was
no motive other than that of a drunk
en prank which caused the alleged
attempt to wreck the rain.

THE NATIONAL HOG
AND CATTLE SHOW
Helping South to Cut Out
Cost of Refrigerated
Freight Trains.
Atlanta, Ga.—Again this year, fur
* ther Improvement will be marked in
• the greatest single feature of the
Southeastern Fair, October 4 to 11, the
| National Hog and Cattle Show, which,
in itself, will be enough to draw many
thousands of visitors to Atlanta dur
ing fair week.
The capacity of the barns and pens
will be taxed and additional space
may be necessary for new herds ex
pected. "However, no matter how
many animals are entered, standard
accommodations will be provided for
them,’’ said President Oscar Mills, of
the fair association. “We believe that
our live stock exhibit is a barometer
of conditions throughout the South,
and, aside from the large number of
entries already received, so favorable
are the reports of Southern prosperity,
that we are assured of the greatest
show yet held."
That progress Is being made and
excellence attained by breeders of
this section may be attested by the
fact that a herd of Jerseys from Geor
gia was exhibited as far in the North
west as Grand Forks, North Dakota,
this summer. Herefords, Shorthorns,
Jerseys, Aberdeen-Angus, Guernseys,
Holstein-FYieslans and Ayrshires will
all feature in the cattle barns, and
the competition will be keen for the
prize money offered in each class.
What is true of cattle Is equally
so of hogs, big premiums being plaoed
on the leading classes of swine, nota
bly: Duroc-Jerseys, Hampshires, Po
land Chinas, Spotted Poland Chinas and
Berkshlres. The finest Individuals,
herds, groups, champions and grand
champions produced in this country
will be found in the pens of the big
show.
"One of the purposes of the South
eastern Fair," stated Secretary R. M.
Striplin, “is to help the people of this
section get away from paying the high
cost of refrigerated freight trains from
the West, and through the cattle exhib
its at the National Hog and Cattle
Show, we are confident that we are in
some measure succeeding."
