Difference in Jesus and Christ
Mr. J. I. and. Bell, a local Bible
student, hands ns this:
Many good theologians have
never noticed the difference be
tween Jesus and Christ. Re
member, Jesus has a beginning
of days and Christ Was the high
priest after the order of Melchise
dec, having neither beginning of
days nor end of life. And Je
sus was never called Christ till
Christ the High Priest rested
upon him at the river .Jordan and
showed the full powler of God an*
then he was called Jesus Christ
because Christ took possesion of
Jesus. Jesus spiritually means a
pure, cleansed body. Jesus was
a sacrifice —a lamb without blem
ish —and God was the sacrifice)*.
Sometimes Jesus spake to the pe<
pie and sometimes the spirit of
God spake. Christ said: “Be
fore Abraham was, I am. “H<>
was the “I am” that appeared to
Moses in the hush ; and Jesus
said ”1 and my Father are one”
Christ withdrew' from Jesus on
the cross, and Jesus, said. “Mv
G*xl, my God, why hast Thou for
saken me?” Jesus could not
have died if Christ had not with
drawn, as it w r ere, for a moment
to make the sacrifice; for Jesus
had to give up his mortal life
(the blood) for the immortal. The
spirit tlit'ii entered into his body
and raised him Up; who then
said: “I am he that was dead
and am alive, and behold ] am
alive forevermore. ’ ’

PUBLIC SCHOOL CLOSES
Fine Sermon, Good Address and
Splendid Exercises by
Winder Students.
Another commencement has
come and gone. Winder has
again done hers-*lf proud in the
distinguished vistors that spoke
on the program.
One of the special features
was the sermon Sunday nnrning
by Rev. Carey E. Morgan of tlx
Vine Street Christian church at
Nashville Tenn. For forty-five
minutes lie held the close atten
tention of six or seven hundred
people who listened with intense
interest to one of the most pow
erful sermons ever heard in Win
der. His deep thoughts, his beau
tiful flow of language, coupled
with his graceful delivery, com
pletely captivated the large audi
ence that greeted him. In fact,
the standard of commence
ment sermons b is been so greatly
raised that Winder can expect in
the future a rare treat in this
feature of the commencement pro
gramme.
Mr. Morgan’s theme was edu
cation of the youth as relates to
the three great institutions, home
church and state. While showing
a careful preparation, and a
grasp of the greatness of hi?
theme, he was so simple in his
treatment that a child could fol
low him. V
Mr. Morgan, while native of
Indiana, has preached so long in
the south that he is typically
southern. lie is master of words
and lias the ability to take com
mon place illustrations and so
beautify them wtih English that
they impress one powerfully by
their aptness to illustrate. I
In speaking of sin in tlie home,
he mad*' this description: “In
the home are many little mounds
which are graves where the most
precious things lie buried. Love
reverence,kindness, makes mound
over which sometimes the wife
stumbles while going about he/
household duties. Sometimes
the husband is tripped up by
these mounds and sometimes lit
tie children fall headlong over
them. ”
His definition of character wa?
“It is a rut cut in life bv habit.
Possibly the most beautiful sen
tiinent in the entire sermon was
where youth was likened to a
beatiful Island. After describ
ing it as a place of perpetual .joy
with high and pure aspirations
and beautiful dreams. Mr. Mor
gan declared himself adrift upon
the ocean of life. Once he re
vchal on this island; the years
were a boat into which he wias
forced and drifting away from
land,he longed for an anchor that
would stay him in his course, bin
n > one had ever been made. W ith
longing eye lie had hut to sit and
see the beautiful shore recede.
Mr. Morgan preached Sunday
night at the Christian Church to
a packed house. Thru the frater
nal courtesy of the other pastors,
there was no other service in the
city. On this occasion, Mr. Mor
gan again preached a great ser
mon from the t'-xt “The son of
man has eomg to seek and to
save that which was lost."

A Titanic Conflict
Atlanta, Ga., May 28. —Dame
Rumor is whispering that the
classic city of Rome, Ga., is
shortly to become the scene of a
titanic conflict. Rosin and cat
gut. will be the deadly weapons.
The middle Georgia fiddlers
have challenged those of north
Georgia to a contest, the equal
of which lias probably not been
heard since Orpheus led his la*
from the mouth of tin* Infernal
Regions.
If there is anything that north
Georgia rural communities are
proud of, it is then fiddlers.
When it comes to a spirited ren
dition of “Leather Breeches,’’
“Chicken in the Bread Tray,”or
“Bobtail Dog Went trotting thru
the Meeting House,” the people
up around Whitfield and Murray
believe that their home talent,
simply can’t he beat. They are
therefore, at a loss to understand
the shocking temority of middh
Georgia fiddhrs.
But tilt* middle Georgia geni
uses have equal confidence in
themselves, and say they can beai
the mountain people on their
horn* 1 grounds.
Republicans Object to Harris

Harris as director of the United

to survive the < tposure of 1 1 •'
fact that tin' attaeks against him
were led by partisan republicans,
whose only real objection to him
was that lie was a staunch dem
ocrat. . Ii -ft
It is now certain that the ap
pointment will he confirmed. It
was natural that the republicans
should make whatever effor
they could to prevent a democrat
from superceding one of their
own men in a position which is
next in importance to that of a
cabinet portfolio.
