THANKFUL OF COURSE.
A GREAT DENOMINATION.
The eyes of the state are on Vlacpn
this week, where the Baptists bf
Georgia are holding their annual
convention. This ( denomination IS
a distinct factor In the religious life
of the community. Ita numbers are
large and the active virile piety of
Its members make It a great force
for good.
The Georgia Baptist convention
was organized In 1822 by Rev. Jesse
Mercer, who held the presidency for
nineteen years and after whom Mer
cer University la ham^d. The denom
ination has grown from a pioneer
church, winning Ita way along the
margins of the wilderness to the
dominant religious organization of
Georgia, with 210,886 members and
2,098 churches, and an Imposing In
crease still to be reported at the pres
ent convention.
The convention now Includes 88
associations. The property valua
tion of the church in Georgia Is $2,-
198,990 and the contributions to all
purposes were In 1904 9562,898.81
A much larger sum will, be reported
as witness to the work ot, 1905 and
the baptisms 13,057, reported as the
annual extension to the Columbus
convention last year, will this year
be shown to ba far surpassed.

hind the nerve all right all right, all
light He said he was going after
the'blind tiger and he did it The
good people and the right sentiment
«f the comunity are behind the man
tabled the nerve.
Aa encouraging sign of the time*
is the meeting ot a number ot the
leading denominations In New X°rk
and the formation of a Christian Fed
eration now In progress. The Idea
ot aeota to wall and good bat there
tshoulfi be no enmity between those
■working for the same end.
Surely, this year above all others
the, people of the state and especially
of South Georgia have overy reason
to be thankful. For health and hap
piness, for peace and plenty, for pro
gress and prosperity, they return
to the Giver of all good fervent and
sincere gratitude. Every class of
citizens engaged in any honorable or
useful occupation baa shared In the
bappy condition ot the people. The
material' blessings have been such
that the professional pessimist, who
continually croaks gloomy warnings
of future woe, has been silenced.
Over and above the mere blessings
in the shape of wolrdly goods comes
the blessings of knowing how to use
these goods. ' From every part of our
great state comes evidence that the
people do know how to use this pros
perity. They have first, provided,
and rightly so, for their own wants.
They have then shared their good
fortune with tbose less fortunate
and contributed to the work of Him
to whom.they are Indebted for It all.
Never before have schools been so
well provided for. Never before
has church work prospered aa It has
done during the past year. Never
before has giving to charitable and
and religions work been so unstinted
and generous. The biggest thing we
bare to be thankful for to that our
people know'how to aland prosperity
and how to share It.
Going down a little deeper we find
attendant canse for thanksgiving In
what might be called the awakening
of the national conscience. There to
a new and altdgether creditable grav
ity of thought and alertness of Inter
est In the more serious things oMlfe.
Thpre seemed to be for a time grave
danger that this nation might go
money mad and In Ita race for coin
forget the ancient and better Ideals
that made us what we are. Bnt the
events of the time have caused people
to stop and think. The red page of
horror In autocratic Russia, the bog
of corruption In politics, the mess of
graft in finance and Insurance, have
caused an awakening.
People are stopping to ask what
these ihlngs mean and why they
came about. They are getting
straight In their own iqjhds. what'
Is worth while and what Is not. They
are digging up fundamental princi
ples and rules of right living from
under the rubbish of careless years.
All of these things have entered
Into the life of onr town to a great
er or less degree. Here as In other
communities the events of the great
er world are reproduced In miniature
Thomasvlllc teems to be waking up.
There, have been no grave evils In
the quiet life ot our city. There
baa been carelessness and some gross
neglect. There will be no longer.
So let us all be deeply and truly
thankful. For life to very good these
autumn days In Thomasvllle. Hater
lal wants, spiritual needs are both
provided for. So all together, give
thanks.
We have the advantage of those

French chemists. Morgues and Gau
tier by name, who discovered a way
to separate the medicinal curative
elements, of which there are about
fifty different kinds In cod’s liver
from the oil, and give to modern med
Iclne all the tonic, body building and
curative properties of that grand old
remedy cod liver oil, unencumbered
by the oily, greasy part, which sci
ence had proved of no value what
ever either as a food or medicine.
Thus they produced Vlnol.
Vlnol Is guaranteed to contain in
a highly concentarted form all the
medicinal elements of cod liver oil,
actually taken from fresh cods' liv
ers, and wherever old fashioned cod
liver oil or emulsions will do no
good, Vlnol will do far more good—
for being without oil, It Is delicious
to tbe taste, easily assimilated and
won’t upset the weakest stomach.
Vlnol tones up the digestive or
gans, creates a bearty appetite,makes
rich red blood and creates strength
for old people, weak women, puny
children and after sickness and for
all pulmonary troubles It has no
equal.
So strong Is our faith In Vlnol that
we freely offer to return money In
every case where It falls to give sat
isfaction. R. Thomas, Jfr.
