Clay, junior senator from Georgia, died at Robertson sanitarium, Atlanta, Ga. at 3 o’clock Sun day afternoon. Mr. Clay had served Georgia and the nation .or fourteen years in the high est tribun il of the land, and the general consensus of opin ion is that lie did his duty and did it well. Conscientious, .Klin-taking, and an in lef.di. - ihle wort er, lit performed a ers ii-e for iii- country during ;is long public life that will be recognized as a service con secrated to duty and the wel fare of his people. White Senator Clay was a man of ability and strong per sonality, he was not consider a brilliant man; hut above all an honest man, who stayed at Ids post of duly and i crf-cm ed the services required of him long after his friends and physicians advised h:m to seek the much needed re tied might have conserved hi. strength and restored him to health. in consecration to duty ami honesty of purpose In* leave: a legacy to his people far su perior to the meteoric splen dor of some brilliant genius whose flashing intellect for a time illuniniitinted the politi cal horizon; but, like the sky rocket, is consumed by its own flashing, unstable, and erratic brilliancy. How Can We Have Temperance Here? The following talk was given by Mrs. I). E. Duggan at the Baptist Sunday School last Sunday: Temperance, or self control, is the climax in Paul’s list of those graces which are the ‘‘fruit of the Spirit.” Self control does not mean self-indulgence as far as there is safety; it means self-mastery. Self-mastery, with a thinking man, will involve liis relations to others as well as the possible dangers to him -elf. Neither the church nor the coun try can legislate for the safety of a drunkard, hut they Ixith need to study how they can destroy the places and peri Is which stand in the way of the young and weak. Some are wise and some foolish, and, as iheir brother’s keeper, it is the du ty <ff the stronger to guard the weaker. Warnings, examples*, and rescue work are go- d anti well hut preven tative measures are most effective, j Temperance means 3 things: Ist. The moderate use of what is helpful. 2nd. Total abstinence from what is harmful. 3rd. Helping others to abstain from what is harmful. If we who are Christians would adhere to the third meaning and use preventative work, we would have temperance here. The watch ul Christian may help the temper tnec cause by helping others to ab stain from what is harmful, especi ally the use of intoxicating liquors. This is the broadest phase of the temperance question: it is the liigli •st expression »f Christian temper-, ,nee. It locs not .-top to ask “How can 1 help myself? be “llov.* can 1 help others?” No. imply “What can I do to l>e a bet el-man?” but “What can 1 do ti nake others better?” This may la done in two ways: Ist. Moral suasion is exerted by the parent in the home, by Sunday School teacher in class, by the preacher in V pulpit, by the Chris tian everywhere both by precept and by example. 2nd. Legal suasion keeping temp tations out of the way of the boy. Moral suasion is temper ance by retail; legal suasion is tem perance by wholesale. Moral sua sion deals with one or a few; legal suasion deals with many. Votes count. Prayers are powder. Ballots are bullets. Both are needed for the greatest effectiveness in Christian warfare. We who live in Georgia and Cochran are fortunate that the ballot has already been counted in our favor and we have on our side battling for the cause of prohibition the strong arm of the law. The law will be effective or ineffective to the extent that we as Christian people uphold it. It is our duty not only to obey the law ourselves but to have the law obeyed t by others, hence it becomes our "efuty in the cause of prohibition to look cli scly for any violation of the prohibition law and report suspicious cases to the authorities. Our town council, being composed largely of Christian gentlemen, should keep a watchful eye on all suspicious cases and if necessary should employ detectives to secure evidence. This we should do not to uphold the law as citizens but to help those who are weak and need help, which is a Christian’s duty. Let the watchful Christian tie sure that right men are elected to office that ids ballot shall count on the side of right and righteous ness. Lodge Directory. Cochran Lodge No. 21,, F. A A.
