Subject, “Paul the Hero.’’,.'
Eyery nation and every-agi
i has had its heroes. No day has
been so dark but that true hero
ism has been appreciated at least
, in a measure.
1. Paul was a Christian hero.
Many quasi heroes have fought
for their own reputation because
they had political or other ambi
tions and needed to defend their
names in order to attain their
own personal seeking. This is
not real heroism. §ut Paul was
heroic for the cause of Christ,
i his Lord and Master and for the
j best and highest interest of the
I church and this means of course
i for the best interest of the men
j of his day.
Paul’s life was a heroism for
the truth. Many have been the
heroes of error. Look into the
Jewish history and you will find
that men fought against God and
the chosen people of God in a
heroic manner, but they were
for the cause of wrong and error
and losr, out. There are many
manifestations of Paul’s heroism
for the truth. He withstood
Peter to the face (Gal. 2—II)
because Peter was in the wrong,
Condemned the Corinthians for
their error about Christianity,
and stood against the Judiazers
atGatalia because of their im
proper teachings. Wherever op
portunity afforded, Paul stood
for the truth, before kings,
judges and mobs.
There are two things essential
to Christian Heroism, First, self
mastery. No man who does not
control himself can be a Christ
ian hero. It takes a man, not a
weakling or a * coward to be a
hero. Paul had this self control
over his passions, words and
deeds. Again his self mastery
is shewn in the text by the state- ;

I The oi h( r, essential thing is
■ abn< 4- on and sacrifice,
i iul was * -eful in his words
land acts when it effected himself
but absolute!;!, renounces hisper
;soilal interbs- and safety when
i the cause of Christ demanded.
He said, “Neither count I my life
dear unto my seif so that I might
finish my cours 1 with joy &c.”
Beady not only \o suffer for the
cause but to leedsbe. Ah,
what a great here he was.’ Un
daunted in the face of persecu
tion, forgetting himself, in the
interest of the cause, and finally
gave up his life as a martyr.
Most of the apostles died in the
same way., The Chinese during
the Boxer movement in China
acted the part of Christians he
roes. Really a cause In it is not
worth dying for, is not worth
living for. - U
God-egtlls all of lis #/ be his
heroes. Men are in peril and it
requires Christian heroism to
stand against the error and sin
of the day, and rescue the fallen.
Few Christian heroes are ap
preciated n life, altho’ people go
wild over a hero in battle one
who merely saves the body of
one in peril. 1 say praise these
but let us not forget the others.
God’s best heroes are often ui>
dervAied by the world.
Wjs Paul’s heroism in vain?
Ah, no we are ready to confess,
for as the heroic man, minister
and Christian, heroic in life and
death, he has made possible a
large part of our heritage to-day.
Then my people let us be Christ
ian heroes, and stand for God
and truth and against every form
of impuriev and tho’ no marble
shaft be placed to mark • our
grave, the angels will guard your
very dust and God will speak in
to it a glorified life one day, and
tho’ no monument be erected to
your honor, God will see to it
that you live on in the world for
good. Be a Christian here and

Mr.- J. Il: Christy C Ramrod*’)

Mr. Dennis vfilwfrs.
A number of patrons attended
the celebration ot' Washington’s
birthday by the school and seem

May they visit us more often and
thereby encourage us with their

This commOnity was very much
shocked on last Tuesday night, a
week ago, by the rather sudden
death of Mr. Majah Philips.
Mr. Philips was born about two
miles south of Ambrose fifty
three years ago and has lived in
this community ever since.
He joined the Missionary Bap-,
tist church at New Hope thirty
years ago, and has ever since
been a faithful member and was
treasurer at his death.
His funeral was preached by
Rev. West, of Willacoochee.
There were a* large number of
friends and relatives present to
pay their last respects to the
man whom every body looked
upon as being one of their best
neighbors and friends.
Mr. Philips always took an act
ive interest in school, sending
regularly and giving means.
The building at this place is built
upon lands donated by Mr. Phil
ips, to which his two boys are
going.
His friends and relatives have
reason to believe “that it is well”
with him after death.
Eczema. Tetter. Salt Rheum. Itch,
ftine Worm. Heroes. Barbers'
Itch.
All of these diseases are attended .
by intense ’tching, which is almost
instantly relieved by applying
Chamberlain’s Salve and by its
continued use a permanent cure
may be effected. It has, in fact,
cuied many cases that had resisted
all other treatment. Price 25 cents
per box. For sale by All Druggist.
some day you shall shine w r ith
the glorified in the beautiful city
of God. Christian heroism can
never be in vain, thank God.
