One hundred dollars was offered to he churches if they could report to him an attendance of a third of Bain bridge’s population at one service. With I. J. Maddox as chairman; <*. . (’.

Winder, Barrow County, Georgia, Thursday, November 3, 1921 BEN M. EDWARDS THE EVANGELIST. After spending fifteen years or more in the work of the pastorate Ben M. Edwards resigned his work with the splendid church at Paris, Texas, about two years ago and entered the eran 'gelistic field. Since that time he has iield meetings with some strong church es in large cities and towns. Among his great meetings are those with the Hyde Park church of Kansas City, Mo. and Bristol, Tenn. A newspaper in the latter city commenting on the meeting conducted there has this to say: ‘Bristol has been favored in the past with a roll of outstanding and successful evangelists, but it, is uni versally said by the people who have heard I>r. Edwards nightly that he is among the greatest who has ever con ducted a campaign in the city. Ilis wonderful personality and powerful delivery adds great charm to the force ful and logical messages whieh he rings. 2 • Associated with :Mjr, Edwards its leaders of song and personal workers re Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Pollock of Nrbo, 111., These two workers have had t wide experience iu the evangelistic* lold and will add much to the effective ness of the campaign being conducted i our midst. “An Old-Fshioned Vinie” (By Rev. L. W. Collins.j There is a picture of JefTuson in the University of Virginia, underneath which- are written these significant words of the great statesman, "The art of government is the art of tn-iug honest.” We have been trying to find a solution for our present ills; we have agitated diversification, co-operation, credits and what not. And we find that we must go buck to the author of “Jeffersonian Democracy” to set our IV t on the right patli once again. It is an old-fashiom-d remedy, but it will •ure every moral and financial ailment a the land to-day. In the words of Jefferson, we must learn “the art of being honest.” This nation is facing a financial eri is of such magnitude as it has never known. It is not because of the scar city of money or the multiplication of L ne boll weevil. Our whole financial structure is threatened with collapse because a large manlier of men have treated their contracts and honest ob ligations as so many scraps of paper, l’liey have made confidence impossible because they have destroyed the faith nave set iu motion a current that will sweep their neighbors as well as them selves over a financial precipice. The men that can pay and will not pay is irting himself as well as others. One debt paid would enable the receiver to pay another, and so on until a thous and debts were paid. As it is, what help cfui he ever expect in the future rum either man or God? He is sow ng the wind and will reap the whirl wind. “An honest man is the noblest Work of God.” A man may be honest l and be hard pressed, as multtiudcs are it the present time. But an honest man will say to his creditors. Here is .! payment on account. lam doing the best I can. and will pay you the last cut I owe before I get through, or will die before 1 quit trying.” Such a man will find no trouble in finding a way out of his difficulties, for lie will have the confidence of God and .nan. But the man who sings on Sun lay about the “Old Time Religion” and n Monday slips off his cotton to an other town in order to dodge his cred itors, is just a plain old-fashioned hyp ocrite, and his actions speak louder lhau his words, and give the lie to all iis professions. It is a lack of confidence that is stag nating business to-day. There is a lot >f money in the country, but who is going to turn loose money aud credit hose who have lost all sense of honor itid who disregard all their obligations? They are paving the way for financial ruin not only for their creditors, bu* or themselves; for there is no one of ■i that can prosper when the communi y fails. As far as such a man is con erued, he would absolutely destroy ■ls country for if everybody acted as e did it would bankrupt the whole ation. It is time that we preachers were eady not to lx* “pussy-foots” but proph ts, and get back to the bed-rock of lie ten commandments. For we have been building a financial and moral structure on the unstable sands and great will be the fall thereof. We WARM CONTESTS IN CITY PRIMARY F. C. Graddirk, From First; Vasco Se gars.

We ex pect great messages. Let us give him treat audiences. Minister, Stanley K. Grubb. oave had some church-joining revivals his year, hut we need now a great revival of debt-paying. We need to emind folks that they may join any r our churches and yet be an absolute I ranger to an “upright walk and con versation.” And the Sacred Book (dls that the man who shall dwell in bid's holy hill is the man who loves ighteousness and hateth a He. And ,’iut is the acid test of a man's reli ion to-day. There is only one way of salvation ir ourselves and our country, und that is to simply do our duty. It is too ■oon to pray until we have begun to ay. The same book that tells us to ‘owe no man anything” and to provide II tilings honest in the sight of all •non” promises help to the man who vill live according to this rule. Thos. Jefferson was right. The only vay out of our difficulties is an old •isbioned way. We must learn again ••ho art of being honest.” MR R. T. VINCENT RAISING SOME FINE TOBACCO. Mr. R. T. Vincent, one of the best farmers in this section, brought to our office Thursday several bunches of us fine leaf tobacco us we have ever seen. 'He grew 125 pounds of this tobacco on one-eighth of an acre, and it w ill meas ure up to the tobacco grown in Virgin ia or the Carolinas. Mr. Vincent pro poses to plant several acres next year. The tobacco industry is growing in South Georgia and from the results of Mr. Vincent’s efforts tobacco will do as well here as in that section.
