THE SHOT SOUTH
DR. BAWTU0R>E
A Beautiful and Timely Dis
course.
“1 am made all things to all men that I might
hi all means save some.’*—I Cor. 9:22.
Many persons have received from these words
the impression that Paul was a sort of relig
ious ambidexter.
They suppose that in the prosecution of his mis
sionary work he often resorted to deceptions to
accomplish his purposes; that when he was
among the Gentiles he contradicted what he had
pieached to the Jews; that among those who
hated Csesar he was a rebel, ut among the
friends of the government lie was loud in his
protestations of loyalty. Believing tills to have
b**eu the character of Paul, they plead his exam
ple in support of the doctrine, that for a good
abject it is lawful to deceive. A merchant says:
"My object in doing business is to sup|>ort my
family, relieve the poor and help the church, if
Uieu I can secure a good patronage by pubtlsh-
a falsehood, such an act would be lawful in
the sight of God.” Another man says: “The
church is the hope of the world; tf by deception
I can promote the interest of the church, it is
my religious duly to deceive.”
What a perversion of Paul's words and what a
ailMoncention of ills character. In saying that
bo was all tilings to all men he does not menu
■ial he ever deceived the iienple as to Ids real
•enUments and belief. He means that in intro
ducing the gos|iel, he avoided, as far as possible,
giving offense to men. lacerating their feelings,
bud exciting their prejudices. When lie sat at a
wan's table he conformed to the customs of the
household as far as lie could do so without the
aacriflce of principle. When among the Jews
Who esteemed it a great sin to eat the meat of
animals which had been sacrificed to idols, lie
bbstalued from the use of such meats. When
among Uie Greess and Romans he showed his
appreciation of all that was good in their eivili-
sation. He respected their culture, admired
their architecture, and quoted from their orators
and poets. But lie was no coward. He was no
time server. When the interests of the cause
which he represented demanded a direct and
and open assault upon any custom or doctrine,
be dkl not hesitate to make it. In the presence
of judges and kings who were opposed to hlm.he
did not fail to declare the whole council of God.
Solitary and defenseless, he faced mobs and
proclaimed the truths which were most offen
sive to their ears.
By saying that he was all things to all men,
Paul meant also that be found it expedient to
vary methods and means in advancing his work.
When tie reached Corinth and Athens he had to
throw away his old sermons and make new
•ties. Then he had to grapple with miuds of a
different mould and culture from those which
■e contended in other places. Here he empha
sised one feature of the Gospel, and in other
•ities a different feature. He was never mo
notonous. He was always fresh, sparkling,
•rigiual, full of surprises. He utilized every
passing event that could be made to serve hliu
In illustrating the divine message which he was
•ommissloned to deliver.
Paul was all things to all men that he might
save some. In all that be did and said he had
In view nothing but the salvation of men. Tills
8* true of every sincere and faithful minister of
Jean* Christ. But this and salvation, like many
Utiier Bible words with which we are familiar,
k very broad when we come to the application
at it. Men need salvation from sin and the
eternal consequences of b. But they need to lie
a&ved from many other things. They need to be
Saved from ignorance, from error, from false
prejudice, from bondage to the letter, from false
Confidence and false hopes.
The salvation which Christ brought and Paul
preached includes everything from which man
ueeds to be saved. If the people had this view
of the Gospel, they would appreciate more than
they do the efforts which some of us are making
towards a broader application of Christian
truth.
It is the duty of the Christian minister to ex-
C ae and refute false doctrine. In doing this lie
as certainly saving men as when he stands by
the very cross of the One Savior and speaks of
nothing but the blood that "cieanseth from all
sin.” But if 1 should preach a sermon on the
•out-destroying heresy of baptismal regenera
tion, some would be sure to say, "What a pity
that lie will not go along and preach
the gospel, and let otherpeople’s doctrines
alone!” Or, if he discusses some grow
ing evil—lying, or cheating, or gam
bling, or drunkenness, or adultery—somebody Is

‘"fake Christ for your model. Preach like the

•this doctilne. They trembled and wept and
rejoiced. They could never anticipate him. He
did not toll "the same old.old story.” He told a
mew story every time. It was the story of the
prodigal son in one place and life story of the
Publican and the Pharisee in another. In sue
aermou It was the story of the man who weit
dawn from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among
thieves, and in aiwilier it was the story of the
•hepherd w ho left the ninety and nine sheep in
the wilderness and went after the one that was
lost. He put old truths intoJirw pictures. The
taw and the pro) diet a expounded by him were as
mew revelations from Heaven. He created fine
fancies of the mind. He reasoned one moment
and dogmatized the next. He Instructed the
child and confounded the philosopher. He was
noetic, romantic and dramatic. He talked
•toNitiihe birds and the flowers, tbe fields and
the floods. He tainted pictures of the great un-
aeeis—Judgment. Heaven, hell. He told fables.
Be wrote hi the sand. He Masted fig trees, He
blessed wid He cursed. He asked strange and
Marti Inc questions. Wlien they dared not ad-
nit Hint lulo thrir homes as a preacher, he w ent

His doctrine He healed their sick and sent them
away rejoicing. He resorted to all the variety

and save their souls. ... ,
You see. then, that Paul, by becomingall things
to all men, was simply following the exani| le
of Ids great Master. He. too, was always fresh,
hiniituais. full of new ideas and new methods.
He studied men, made himself familiar with
tlielr prejudices aud habits of thought and man
ner of living. He says, "Unto the Jew I became
a Jew ” He latked about his unadulterated
Jewish blood. He was a Hebrew of Ihe He
brews. He belonged to the tribe of Benjamin—
tile tribe that never forsook the standaid of the
true God. He rejoic ed in all that was good and
great in his Jewish ancestry. In this way lie

Not one half of I lie people of this gospel land
are ill the habit of going to places of Christian
worship, and thousands who do go complain
llint they are neither profited nor entertained
hy the services. Many even of the "Loru’s
l'.leet ’ have come to look upon going to church
as chastisement—as one ot the many afflictions
of tiie righteous hy which they are reminded
that there rest is not here, lbies it not behoove
us as men and women professing to love God
and humanity, to pause and look for the causes
which have brought about this deplorable state
of tliiugs. Should not Christiau ministers espe
cially, stop and consider to what extent they are
responsible for Ibis rapidly growing dislike for
tiie house of God.
I believe that we who preach, deserve most of
the blame. Many of us are fossilized by a slav
ish stupid conformity to methods of preaching
that wore out two hundred years ago. We hold
oil to tiie dead ways of the dead past, and if the
people will not come to hear us, we say it is be
cause they are ho|>cle»sly depraved. A favorite
text with us when we find that we are makiug
uo impression u|«on a community, is: "Fear
not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good
pleasure to give you tiie Kingdom.”
We use terms which have become a dead lan
guage. We don't meet meu at the level of tlielr
understanding. We don't apply tiie Gospel to
living issues of the present, and preach it in tiie
living lauguage of to day. We are too narrow.
We restrict our ministry to single aspects of life
and doctrine. We do not present the Gospel in
Us entirety. There is a vast multitude oi hu
man wants to which we never apply it. We for
get our work is to leuveu ail thought witli the
thought of God. and all life with the life of God.
Our illustrations are often trite and stale, aud
out of alt harmony with the thought and taste
and spirit of Uie age. Many of us are mere imi
tators of the words and ways of men of other
da vs.
■there are men in our churches of whose ex
istence tiie world is almost oblivious because of
tiie unbroken monotony of their religious con
duct. They are good men. but their goodness
makes scarcely any impression upon the world.
How greatly they could increase their influence
and usefulness, by changing their methods of
religious activity, or by doing something for
Christ, which they have never done before.
Meu |iersuade themselves that their holding on
to old methods is proof of their devotion to
God's cause, but generally it is their lack of loy
alty to His will that rna es them so reluctant to
forsake tbe old for the new.

Prosperity of the South.
A correspondent of one of the New York pa
pers says:
“Tiie seat of our greatest manufacturing es
tablishments of tbe future will be in the chain
of mountains which penetrate Georgia like an
advanced bastiau, with its salient angle a short
distance north of the city of Atlanta.”
This assertion was made by a gentleman
whose experience and knowledge of the coun
try in question dates back to the years immdel-
ately succeeding the civil war. And he support
ed his views by a reference to the recent
growth of Atlanta, Chattanooga and the new
settlement of Anniston, which is controlled by
the sons of the late General Daniel Tyler. Ten
years ago Anniston was a wilderness—yester
day, as it were, an Isolated charcoal,furnace,
aud now a large town, with every modern re
finement In the way of gas, water, electricity
and sixty miles of new railway built out of the
earnings of the furnace.
Chattanooga, too. Is a fair example of the late
growth of this section of country, and gives an
earnest of what is to be exported in the future.
When I first saw Chattanooga in 1865. it was a
wretched hamlet containing iierhaps 2.500 of tbe
poorest inhabitants possible outside of an alms
house, who produced nothing and did as little

Now, my boy, let's look around us and ffnd
out something about every-day life. Do you
swim?
"No.”
Then learn. Your father should offer you
every advantage to practice this art until you
are a good swimmer. Outside of the enjoyment
of a bath, the swimmer is the one who ought to
have the coolest head in tiie case of an accident
on tiie water. He can trust himself further in
fishing, rowing or sailing, and will be offered
more than one opportunity during his lifetime of
saving human life.
It is well for a growing boy to take such exer
cise as will strengthen his muscles, but he must
be cautious. Boxing is too harsh. It not only
strains the muscles of the arms and back, but
is quite apt to affect other parts. To be a good
boxer is simply to have the satisfaction of
pounding some one around a room. Wrestling
is dangerous, and the bars and trapeze result in
broken limbs. Riding and walking are prob
ably the safest and best exercise for a growing
boy.
“See this water pitcher?”
“Of course.”
"Well, what makes it so damp on the out
side?”
"Don’t know.”
“Kasy enough, my lad. The ice has cooled
tbe pitcher until the moisture in the air is con
densed on the outside. That's the way a pitch
er or tumbler has of perspiring.”
“What made it rain yesterday?”
“Because a storm came up.”
“That’s not a fair answer. When two clouds
of unequal temperature unite, rain will fall
