All good people ought to thank
God for the rising tide of con
science in the South and Nation.
One by one the States and Com
munities are lifting their spotless
banner in civic life. Let no man
who expects to allow conscience
to do itB perpect work mar the spot
less page 01 1909 with a vote or an
act that he.will^not be willing to
meet when he stands with his
family before the bar of Him who
is the Author of 1909.
A very few Georgia newspapeis
have voluntarily closed their col
umns to ^whiskey advertisements
siuce the prohibition law went into
effect in the state, and still others
may do as out of respect for the
temperance sentiment that has as
serted itself throughout the state,
but there is vory little moral differ
ence between a newspaper carry
ing liquor ads and the solicitor who
goes round seeking orders to be
shipped into proscribed territory.
The people of the South are every*
where reaching out the hand of
file: dehip ami even good fellowship
to Judge Taft, not only because of
his kindly nature, but mainly be.
cau«e they believe the wishes of the
people of the South will hare as
much weight with him in matters
pertaining to their section and their
communities as the wishes ot the
people of the North hive in similar
matters, If he follows in Mr, Roose
veli’s iootsteuB they will be dis
appointed and will feel they were
mistaken jn their impressiou of him.
What Would Jesus Do?
In Cleveland, Ohio, a peculiar
experiment is now being tried. A
compact has been made joy a large
number of people to live for two
weeks as Jesus would. This ex
perimental period began on the
first Sunday of the New Year and
is to continue during last week.
When it was begun 1,800 young
people made the pledge and since
theu 1! is claimed that fully 10,000
have unofficially joined the move'
ment.
This is in the right direction.
Not only for two weeks but all the
time, and not only 10,000 who are
doiug this ostentatiously but all
the men and women of this Chris
tian land, should try to walk in
His steps. But how to do this,
when it is to be done officially is a
matter that is far more difficult to
determine than it is to join such a
movement because it is a popular
fad.
He has laid down a golde.r rule
to govern mew’s action. That is to
do onto others as each *may wish
others thoold do unto him. Who
ever will regulate his conduct and
actions by this rule will come very
near doing as Jesus would do, and
whoever does that would not make
any public pledge to follo w in His
stops for two weeks; for that is the
first thing Jesus would not do.

The Tennessee legislature has
passed the statewide prohibition
bill by substantial majorities and
there ia nothing now to prevent
prohibition in that state but the
vote of Governor Patterson, It

is no use in fighting against the
facts, or for the liquor people to

and the wave is extending to the

During the year just closed
Georgia scored a record of only
sixteen lynchings.
Of course this was entirely too
many by sixteen and it is to be

For 1907 there w»re"fifty one of
these illegal executions in the

even hundred. Of the 100 97 occurr

A BAPTIST ELDER

“I was run down and weak from In
digestion and general debility, also suf
fered from vertigo. I saw a cod liver
preparation called VInol advertised and
decided to give it a trial, and the re

well.” Henry Cunningham, Elder Bap

Yinol is not a patent medicine—but a
preparation composed of the medicinal
elementa of ccd3’ livers, combined writ
a tonic iron and wine. YInol crea'es

of digestion and makes rich, red blood.
In this natural manner, YInol creates
