TAYLOE * A, G. P. A* Atlanta. Ga. “Good Wil! to All Men.” Communicated. A careful study of the divinely ordained order of things is some- times of great value, and the lack of such study and understanding leads to many mistakes in religious mat¬ ters and otherwise. “Must I be in order to do or shall I do in order that I may be”? This question requires serious thought if we would reach a live solution. Espe¬ cially so since we know that our characters are so much modified by the good or evil that we do. In my last article I tried to show that the life is only the outgrowth of the heart ; or in other words that we must be before we can do. Yet many seem to regret this proposi¬ tion, in the moral and ‘religious sphere, at least. Let. us see. In the physical world being precedes doing. The child must be a child before it cries or walks or talks. It is the life principle in the seed that causes it to throw out roots and send up a stalk. The fruit tree must be a fruit tree before it can bloom and bear a crop of fruit. It is time both in the animal and veg¬ etable world that things do not per¬ form a series of the functions of life in order to live, but possessing life and existence first, they exhibit these activities. Is this principle one of the laws of nature applying in the spiritual realm as well as in the natural? Is it true that we must be before we can do, and that by doing we can not bring ourselves into being? Is this taught in God’s word and does human experiencen also cofine it? Undoubtedly so. It is true that at birth we are endowed with spritual faculties and a spiritual na¬ ture. Blit we are distinctly and repeatedly taught in the Scriptures that this nature is depraved. That while originally created in God’s image, yet the fall brought all man¬ kind into an estate of sin and misery. That we are by nature the children of wrath. That we are as the apostle says, dead in trespasses and in sin. That,as Jesus taught Nicodemus, except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. Here we are taught necessity of the implantation of a new life principle. Those who receive this new nature are born not of blood, nor ot the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of in¬ corruptible, by the word of God, as Peter tells us. Paul, also says that in Christ Jesus, neither cir- cumcision availetl. anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. All these passage emphasize the need of a change of nature, or of the new birth before we can be children of God. The question arises, can I by my works bring about this change of heart? No. Can the dead body cause itself lne? In Ezekiel s vision it re- quired the breath or Spirit to breathe upon the slain before they stood up, a great and living army, Death cannot convert itself into life. But the power ot the living Prevention Tetter than cure.

The works of a soul dead in sin are dead works and have no power to make alive. Hence their fertility as a ground upon which to rest one’s hopes of salvation. First make the tree good and good fruit will be the natural consequence. Just at this point a fatal mistake is often made. Over looking the necessity of the new birth, and trusting that there is intrinsic merit in a sinner’s works, men try to gain God’s favor by doing this or that good things. Instead of go¬ ing directly to Him fora new heart, a new nature, they try to make themselves alive by their own vain endeavors. As well for a dead stone to try to change itself into the living tree. The preceding applies especially to thejbeginning of the spritual life. That life having been once implant¬ ed, the new nature once given, its development is greatly promoted or retarded by our own actions or inactions. On this principle are founded such commands as grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; add tQ y Gur faith virtue etc., be not con- formed to this world, a*id many other8- 0ur facuU j e ^ of body, mind, or heart, grow strong and develop by judicious exercise ; and without proper exercise they perish away or become useless. The musC | e G f the blacksmith’s arm grows andjstrengthens through use; wble the unused arm even though strong . at first grows weak and helpless.

On Friday night, Prof. Bow¬ man’s school met the townsfolk at the court house in an old time spelling match, using the old blue back speller. Prof. Bowman ad¬ dressed the citizens, giying them the outline of the way he washed to conduct the match, after which the cornet band gave us some good music. Col. Edwards and Col. Bowden w r ere chosen as judges. When the children were lined up. ten at a time and ten citizens on the other side, the ball opened, Every now and then, a kid would drop out and then a citizen, then t i, e ran ks w ould have to he filled up again. We thought at first we were going to carry away the col- ors, when Miss Bowman was left alone but finally she had to come down and the Professor brought ten more, our torces then began to weaken. Col. Bowden and Ed- wards had to go out and bring the citizens up. The school began to fire center shots into our ranks, which forced a stampede and the Colonel, could no..rally them again.
