THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF WINDER. Religious field. A Column Devoted to Subjects of In tercst to Church People. Why Pave Home Missions? 1. Because Christ commanded them when lie said: "Ye shall be witnesses unto me bull) in .Jerusalem and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” 2. Because we are directly con cerned in home affairs. The weal or woe of our country makes for righteousness or iniquity, and thus shapes the destiny of our children. The early churches of Asia Minor and Africa fell away from Christ, and it is possible for the United States to revert to barbarism unless a holy zeal for the salvation of every citizen moves our hearts. 8. Because here in'the South, as everywhere else, the need which Christ intends this command to meet is very great. Mere are some of the conditions among us which Christ’s brethren must meet or be found disloyal to their Lord: (a) A rapid increase of wealth, creating new class linos, forming a large and increasingly dependent class of wage-earners in the cities. These people are cut off by hours of work, place of residence, lack of in tercourse and sympathy from the growing "leisure class,” their Church arid their religion. The rift I is not yet very deep, hut it is there and it is growing. Nothing can j bridge it but the love of Cod ex-j pressed in human lives and service. (b( The rapid influx of foreign-1 ers brings anew responsibility. : Italians, Cubans, Hungarians, Bo hemians, for the most part from the poorest, most ignorant classes, are found by the thousands in Texas, West Virginia, Lousiana, Florida, and elsewhere. With the comple tion of the Panama Canal, tens of thousands will be drawn hither, and we are to be confronted with peoples bringing debased forms of religion, if any at all, and ignorance and need. What has the Master to say to these people through us? (c) Eight million negroes, God’s special trust to us, an inheritance from Cur fathers and mothers, who raised this race, by the help of God, from a state of savagery t the level u heron they stand today and in Christ’s name ask that we do our part as our fathers did theirs. (and) Our mountain people, of as good blood as any in the world, await the broadening of their op portunities, that culture of mind and heart which will open their way to a high and noble service of the King of whom many of them have but dimly heard. o. We need home missions fcr our own soul’s sake. Sending is not enough.

"If we have set out to find the palace of our King, resolv ing that we will enter it and live with him even as the most abject of minions,we are not in the right way and shall never see the palace nqr find the King. He is serving our poor brothers in wretched hovels, numberless and near'at hand; and if we will join Him in this service we shall find Him there, and every hovel will seem unto us His pal ace . ’ ’ Five Millions For Bible Study. It is announced from New York that Mr. John 1). Rockefeller is to give Five Million Dollars to the Union of Bible Classcg. Led by the Young Men’s Bible Class of Fifth Avenue Baptist church, of which John I). Rockefeller, Jr., has been the teacher for about a dozen years, there will be. a union of this Bible class with the Brick Presbyh rian, Broadway Tabernacle and the Calvary Young Men’s meeting for the purpose of creating a widespread interest in the studying of the Bible by young men. Dr. Chas. Aked,who recently came from England to the pastorate of young Mr. Rockefeller's church, is to he the head of this combination. This movement will naturally at tract the attention of thousands of young men, not only in New York, hut all over the land, to the study of the "Old fashioned lhhle.’’ and the wholesome influence that will! make itself felt in the manhood of the nation is beyond computation. it will he of interest to state in this connection that the Young Men's Bible class now leading in this movement was formerly taught by Charles E. Hughes, now the great Christian Governor of the great state of New York. His stalwart manhood and his inspiring person ality gave the class its impetus, and when he "retired on account of ill health, John 3). Rockeleller, Jr., who was then just out of Brown University —and a mighty plain, senisble, soild young fellow —was elected to succeed him. The writer was at one time a member of this I class for several months and rejoices that so many splendid young men whose frienpship blessed his life when he was “a stranger in a strange Hand,” are to be the guardians now jof the "headwaters,” so to speak, j of so many influenced for good.

Why, half the gossip under the sun, If you trace it hack, you will find begun In that wretched House of “They.” A numerous family, so I am told, And its genealogical treee is old; For ever since Adam and Eve be gan To build up the curious race of man Has existed the House of “They.” Gossip mongers and spreaders of lies, *" Horrid people whom all despise! And yet the best of us, now and then, Repeat- queer tales about women and men And quote the House of “They.” They live like lords and never labor, A “They’s” one task is to watch his neighbor And tell his business and private affairs, To the world at large they are sow ers of tares — These folks in the House of “They.” It is wholly useless to follow a “They” With a whip or a gun, for he slips away And into his house, whore you can not go, It is locked and bolted and guard ed so — This horrible House of “They.” Though you cannot get in, yet they get out, And spread their villainous tales about.
