PAUL, THE - '> \'■ v* , i r .-/I .Vitfjpb'fSi t! Pi; i-■ i'it, .uilaii 8l teodlst. Xfhurch Las! Sunday Morning by the Paster, - Rev. L A.Hil » ,» . y ■ 7~ ■ it x TexL Acts 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- ; 1 %psJmMif h he3Q tilings . . gp’u p> une Wurai s favor ikuU yiaerea and discour aged by tjv World’s frown. 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.

A number of patrons attended the celebration ot' Washington’s birthday by the school and seem ed pleased with the programme. May they visit us more often and thereby encourage us with their presence, 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.
