“WE APPLAUD THE RIGHT AND CONDEMN THE WRONG.”
The Missionary Institute
MARCn 6 !)
Three times every Sunday and
once every Wednesday evening,
through the regular church and
Sunday school services, our people
of Jesup have good opportunity
for mental and spiritual improve
ment, if they are disposed to at
tend these services. Some of our
people seem to appreciate these
opportunities, and, we hope, are
amply rewarded for their regular
attendance. At intervals, we have
more than ordinary opportunities
for special instruction 011 specific
lines of Christian work. These
occasions, on account of their
great importance to the church
and community, it seems should j
draw large numbers of our people
together.
We have just enjoyed one of
these special occasions at the
Methodist church. O 11 Wednes
day evening, 6 U 1 inst., we opened
second missionary institute
for the Blackshear division of the
Waycross District. Rev. R. Nor
man preached the opening sermon
on the subject of Divine Power
and Human Agency, showing how r
we are workers together with God, |
in the promotion of human intel
hgenue, progress and happiness,
and in the spread of Christ’s
Kingdom in the earth. Those who
fail'd to hear this sermon lost an
opportunity for good to them

Mr. J. N. Goodbread is still doing
splendidid work in cleaning up

new appearance, since so many
new tombstones have been placed
over the graves, and the trees
have been cut out and tlie grounds
cleaned off. Tlie street, from the
,
j city worked to and the cemetery sidewalks should made and be
shade trees set out along this
street. It would bo a good thing
if the street could go under the
Southern Railroad to the cemetery
[ We are put glad to in see Jesup, so many to take wire

tJie place of the old decayed wood
en fences If it may be that
March winds will blow down ton

Mr. Thomas Westberry has
bought a place opposite his la
ther’s home, upon which he will
soon erect lain a pretty homo, j
Tin a block adjacent the Baptist [ |
urch is bei. g greatly improved.
The two papers at Jesup have
been greatly improved of late.
The old unoccupied house, next to
the home of Mr. A. T. Ingram,
should be torn down at once, for
it is liable to blow down or fall
down on people who pass the
streets.
Let everybony pull for the up
of Jesup and Wayne
county, J. D. Norris.

SUBSCRIPTION $1.00 PER YEAR
The Jesup Banking Company.
On Wednesday, March 18th,
the Jesup Banking Company com
pleted the fifth fiscal year of the
existence of that institution. The
showing made by a statement is
sued by that bank is a very fine
one. Tlie paid up capital stock
is .125,000.00. The surplus
amounts to $14,000.00. The un
divided profits, which represent
the earnings of the bank for the
fiscal year just closed, are $4,075.
96, and makes the excellent show
ing of nearly or practically twen
ty per cent, on the capital stock.
The loans and discounts make a
total of $107,657.78, while the to
tal deposits—individual, time and
saving—-are $67,501.99.
It is largely due to the local
banks of our Wiregrass Georgia
that has enabled this section of
the state to grow so rapidly in
material wealth, and the excellent
showing that the above figures
present prove also that while this
financial institution is in a flour
ishing and prosperous condition,
that also the people of the section
of its sphere of influence are
likewise participants in the gen
eral prosperity that everywhere is
so prevalent.
Baptist Church
The following is a synopsis of
tlie sermon preached at tlie Bap
tist church last Sunday:
“For God so loved the world,
that lie gave his anly begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth on
Him should not perish but have
eternal life.—John 8:16.
Our love is not like God’s love.
Wo love objects that challenge
and attract our love and claim our
affection. But God loves all men
and oven his enemies. When tlie
world came fresh from His divine
hand, everything was good and
holy. But in the fall of man sin
and ruin covered the whole
world. God’s love was real
and not a pretended love, as
man’s love is sometimes. Dei
lo !
( a
caused him to make a greal sacri- j
fice sinful > giving aud His unworthy only Son to die world. for |
a
Christ, who was innocent, died
for the guilty. The sinner is jus
tified by faith in the Lord Jesus
Christ. The sinner must repent
and believe on the Savior. Who
soever believetb on Christ shall be
saved. Tie- invitation extends to
all.
If you go to hell, it will be your
own fault. Can you provide a
better jilaii to save sinners than
God has? There cannot be but one
best way to do a thing, and God
always does things the very best
way that infinite wisdom could
device. So the plan God has
adopted to save sinners is the only
perfect way. Then why should
any one reject his way? What
does it mean to have eternal life?
To live forever in heaven with the
redeemed God, who is so ready to
save aud to give eternal life to all
who will believe on His Son, Jesus.
All who will not believe on Christ
are condemned already. But all
who believeth on Christ hath eter
nal life.
For all kinds of Spring and
Summer Pattern Huts go to Mrs.
J'.Moore.

The Wayne Light Troop
Inspection
The annual inspection of Troop
“I,” First Regiment Cavalry,
Georgia National Guards, took
place at the Troop Armory last
Thursday, March 7th. Col. Wil
liam G. Obear, Inspector general
of the Georgia National Guard,
and Capt.[John M. Morgan, of the
United States Army, Cavalry
branch, conducted the inspection,
which for the first time was with
the officers and men mounted.
The tot al membership, rank and
tile, is now 48. Of these 41 repor
ted. This made a precentage of
a little over 85 per cent. The
requirments placed the minimum
at 75 per cent. When the prevail
ing epidemic of mumps and mea
sles here is taken into considera
tion, this is an excellent showing.
The “boys” made a nice soldier
ly appearance while on inspection
and on parade. What was better
still, they entered the duties of
the inspection with an open wil
lingness that was encouraging in
every respect. This aided much to
make the splendid showing they
did.
At the noon hour, Miss Essie
Drawdv, Miss Mattie Milikin, Mrs.
H. W. Surrenev, Miss Georgia
Mae Baker, and Miss Lucile Ba
ker had prepared and served a
most elegant luuchecn to the en
tire command and guests, the in
specting officer, which was not ou
iy most welcome but a iso very
enjoyed by all.
The inspecting officers, Col.
Obear and Capt. Morgan, exjjroaii
ed themselves much pleased not
only with the fine showing made
by the individual memherahip of
the Troop, but also with the sys
tematic manner that the records
and the stores and other property
of the organization were kept.
Troop “1” did herself honor by
appearing “ready” for this an
nual ordeal, and the Sentinel
wishes to add thereto,” Now is
the time to begin and make the
Troop by next inspection one of
cue lead in" companies of t he
state. ) 1
