Folks Abandoning Old Drug for
“Dodson's Liver Tone,”
Here in South.
Ugh I Calomel makes you sick. It'
horrible! Take a dose of the dangerous
drug tonight aud tomorrow you lose a
day.
Calomel is mercury! When it comes
into contact with sour bile, it crashes into
it. breaking it up. Then is when you
feel that awful nausea and cramping. If
you are sluggish, if liver is torpid and
bowels constipated or you have headache,
dizziness, coated tongue, if breath is bad
or stomach sour, just try a spoonful of
harmless Dodson's Liver "Tone tonight.
Here's my guarantee —Go to any drug
store and get a bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone for a few cents. Take a spoonful
mid if it doesn’t straighten you right up
and make you feel fine and vigorous, go

Baptist Stock
Aeroplaning*
The 7f Million Campaign becomes the 100 Million Campaign. The
militant and aggressive Baptist forces splendidly organized, and glori
ously co-operant, performed the greatest feat ever attempted by any
religious body in the world of contributing to world-wide evangeliza
tion. To God and the rank and file of the spirit-stirred people belongs
the credit.
I)r. Rufus W. Weaver. President of Mercer University, well says:
“The organization of this Uampaign must be preserved, and
new objectives set up. Among them are the following: 1. The in
crease of the salaries of our poorly paid pastors; 2. One thousand
once-a-uunith churches increasing their preaching services; 4. Five
hundred churches going to full time; 4. Revivals held during the
coining year in every Georgia Baptist church; 5. An educational pro
gram set up to meet the needs of every community; (i. Rural Sunday
school institutes held in every county;' 7-. Five hundred thousand
members in our churches by 192-1 and five thousand students in the
Mercer University systems of schools.
Let us complete the Victory!”
It has been clearly demonstrated in the Campaign that when vhe
people start by the word of God, the God of the world will stand by
the people.
Today is pregnant with potential possibilities, only one omniciexU
God can prognosticate the puissant purposes of the promising tomor
row.
Our task now is to double up in attendance upon the preaching, W.H.
17., Sunday school, prayer meeting, B. Y. P. U., and all services of the
church. Ours is to live up to a big and worthy, as well as God-given
reputation. To falter and fail now would be sin indeed.
Future generations yet unborn will rise up and in gratitude com
ment. D;e work that was done so nobly end heroically by the Bap
tist of today. With gratitude to all who assisted in anyway from the
organizer down to the humblest work in the Campaign. Th officials
have only praise and commendation.
The members of the First and Second Baptist churches are on
the crest of a great tidal wave of aggressive Kingdom work. The
dawn of anew clay is bursting upon these loyal servants of the warn
ing Christ
Chiist'a: de: m< racy has asserted its ability to do things without
overhead authority. New Testament democracy has gloriously vindi
cated its right to eo-operaht activity.
Let's remember that newspaper publicity was a great aid in tide
successful move, and hereafter use more printers ink.
The task of tomorrow is to train militant workers to carry pro
gressive standards anu still higher spi uiai mountain peaks.
