“-'""""re V [ V al for'winder!
Tiie pastor and members of the
First Baptist church expect to
begin a series of revival services on
April 25, next.
Winder needs a real Sychar revival
In the 4th chapter of John’s Gospel
\ou will find the story of how a
whole town was brought to Christ,
and all this mighty movement was
started by one poor, sinful woman
who yielded her life absolutely to
the Master. It must have been a
-reat day in the life of the woman
when she witnessed a whole city
saved, and a joyous occasion for the
one who started the work.
Ood still rules and reigns, and His
power is still potent in the affairs of
men. l T p in Philadelphia Billy Sun

men were turned away at each ser
vice. Tthe old-fashioned gospel will
still have its effect on sin-burdened
men. Prayer will today open the
prison houses of earth and let sin’s
prisoners go free. It is not God's
will that any should perish, but
all shall have eternal life. Evangel
ism is spreading and men and church
es, as well as entire communities are
feeling the effects of Salvation full
and free. What God is doing thru
Sunday, Chapman, Torrey, Alexander,
Gypsy Smith and others rhe could dc
thru you il the conditions were met.
God is no respector of persons. If
this woman of the streets with her
scarlet shame could be cleaned and
equipped for such a mighty task what
might not any pure and cultured
woman of Winder do if her life was
laid upon the altar. If a feeble wom
an could do such a mighty work, so
handicapped, what -might not a strong
Christian man do if his life was giv
en for awhile to Jesus.
I challenge the thinking men and
women of Winder to pause and con
sider your personal responsibility.
I challenge the fathers and mothers
of this city to answer this question
as you will wish you had answered it
when you face God at the Judgment.
“How shall I go up and the lad be
■not with me.” What about the chil
dren of the town. What are we do
ing for their souls. Schools and
movies and rinks, banks and hotels,
feigns and factories, society and
amusement, for their temporal wel
fare, but what about their eternal
good.
In the midst of material affairs let
me beg you to stop and give pass
ing notice to that part of your child
and neighbor that must live some
where forever.

strumentality of one person, this is
the natural way. They have always
ODD BITS OF NEWS.
Fifield, Wis. —Kept alive for two
days by association with two bear
cubs and their mother, Baby Ball,
the two-year old son of a settler
north of here, was found late at
recently, asleep in the under
'■-rbrush and, though starving, was
not suffering from exposure. Th'-
1 chers saw the signs of bears ne. I
*"re the child was found, and old
°°dsmen declared that the babe wa
n alive by sleeping with cubs and
come in this manner. Moody said
that any three people who loved the
Lord and were willing to be used by
Him and would pray could have a re
vival. Why not prove G<od out at
Winder. I say it with all reverence
because he tells us in Malachi 3:10.
“Prove me now herewith, saith the
Lord of Hosts, if I will not open you
the windows of heaven, and pour you
out a blessing, that there hliall iiot
be room enough to receive it.” One
man preached repentance until Nine
veh was saved. If John could do such
a great work in heathen Nineveh
w*hat could you do in Christian -Win
der. Give God an opportunity to show
w'hat he can do, remove the rubbish
and the obstacles, and let Him have
the right of way for once, and the
city will be turned right side up for
Christ, and righteousness. We think
too much about the book of Numbers
Study God’s methods in Gideon’s case
and others and realize that it is not
by might nor by power hut by the
Holy Ghost that this work is done.
It is not at all peculiar that this
work was brought about by a woman.
Women have ever been workers.
They were last at the Cross and first
a JI the -sepulchre. Deborah, Miriam,
Mary, Joanna, Hannah, Esther, Ruth,
Anna, Elizabeth, Joan of A !rc, Victo
ria, and millions of others have been
largely used by Christ in building
His kingdom.
This Sychar woman had been a
hard character. God cleansed and
empowered her and she became thru
Grace a wonderful evangelist. Sam
Jones, Mell Trotter, Sam Hadley, Jer
ry McAuley, Paul and a thousand
others were sinners and outcasts,
but G<>d wants the Devil's outcasts
to cleanse and save and * iess. The
secret of this woman’s success lay in
the fact that she was willing to sac
rifice. She left her water pot, and
went to tell lost sinners about the
Savior whom she had found. In this
respect she was like Andrew and Pe
ter, Philip and Nathanael. The saved
person wants to see another saved.
If you are not interested in the sal
vation of the lost please write a big
question mark opposite your salva
tion, and get right with God as quick
ly as possible. If you w r ant your city
and church to have a great outpour
ing of God’s grace, get busy and
leave your wiaterpots and places of
business, and tell men the old, old
story of Jesus and his love, and tell
it because of what it has meant to
you, and because of what it will
mean to the sin-sick souls all about
you going down to a Christless life’s
end, to face the Judge without an Ad
vocate, going to the feast without the
wedding garment on. Let’s work and
pray for a revival at Winder in ev
ery church and every heart.

Swoyersville, Pa. —Justice of the
Peace Henry Miller, of this place,
was so angry at the defiant and un
repentant attitude of a wife beater 01
trial before him that he peeled his
coat and sailed into the defendant.
When court adjourned the wife
beater was so battered that his best
friend would not recognize him. Also
he was humble and repentant.

BEST AUTOMOBILE TIRES
FOR HARD USE.
Some automobile tires give very
fine service when given but ordinary
use but when subjected to service
over rough and rugged roads, worse
than the ordinary, or over hard,
flinty streets they very often go to
pieces. The best tires for most se
vere servics ar Double Service Tire
and Rubber Cos., Akron, Ohio. These
tires are made with a double thick
thickness of tread which imparts on
an average of 12 plies of fabric and
one inch of service rubber. This is
like putting an extra sole on a shoe.
The results in service being the
same in comparison. This tread is
so thick that punctures are practical
ly impossible yet the tires contain
the same air space and the same pr<s
sure, as is used in any other makes
So their resilliency and riding quali
ties are the same. Owing to the ex
cellent method of manufacturing and
selling adopted by the Double Ser
vice Company these tires sell for less
than standard regular made goods
yet are guaranteed 7000 miles ser
vice.
