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. ’ ’ Winder, Jackson County, Ga., Thursday, May 29th, 1913. 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." We are unable to take up the JUDGE G. A.

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 Atlanta, G.i., May 28 —lb fight against the confirmation of the appointm -nt to Senator W. Harris as director of the United States ensus tins n<d, been able 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.
