The Old Tramp’s Sermon
Subject: “God Loves. Mean People.”
Text: “Fcr God so loved the world
(including Douglas and Coffee coun
ty) that He gave Hia only begotten
Son, that whosoever bclieveth on Him
should not perish, but have everlast
ing life.”
God looked down from heaven and
♦aw there was not a good man in the
world. Every man and woman was
mean and yet God loved them. But
love cannot save, it only finds a way
to save. So God sent His Son to save
the mean people. The whole plan of
salvation was thought out and worked
out to save sinner . Jesus said He
tame to seek and I > save the lost.
The only business Jesus ever had in
the world was to save sinners, and
the only salvation He brought to this
world was a salvation for sinners. But
before 1 proceed with the sermon let
os sing a song:
“There were ninety and nine that
safely lay
In the Shepherd’s peaceful fold,
But one of them had gone astray
Far off from the gates of gold.
Away on the mountains wild ar.d bare,
Away from the Shepherd’s tender
care.”
The Bible tells us that Jesus left
the ninety and nine and went to seek
the one that was lost, and He sought
till He found it ar.d then He brought
it hack to the fold. Jesus is doing
that same sort of woi-k now. He is
in Douglas hunting for lost sheep in
the shape of boys and girls, men and
women. Do you know of an ylost
sheep in Douglas? Has Jesus been
to your house looking for them?
Jesus was always kind to mean peo
ple. He sought to win them back to
a better life, not by espousing their
(sinful lives, but by showing them a
better way. A striking illustration is
where the woman taken in adultery
was brought to Jesus to be stoned to
•death for her sin. Jesus said he that
is without sin let him cast the first

•I" eh 1:1 ' 0 show
tone. No one cast a stone and Jesus
told her to go and :.in no more. And
that is what He will tell every sinner
who quits his sin.
Then it follows, if Jesus was the
- inners' friend, every follower of Jes
us ought to be the friend of sinners.
Are you a Christian? I)o you love
sinners ? Do you want to prosecute
She whiskey seller and the prostitute,
or do you wish to save them? It
seems to me that the church of this
day has the wrong attitude toward
(Sinners. Too many church people
talk like and act like they hate sin
ners, and there are lots of sinners who
feel like they are hated and despised
by the church people. They ought not
to feel that way. Church people ought
to love sinners and manifest their love
,in such a way as to convince the mean
est man and woman that they are the
objectof the love of all Christian peo
ple.
1 If there is a lost sheep in Douglas
Jesus wants to find it, and He may
send some one to your house to see if
there is one there. Or it may be that
(some one who hears this sermon knows
where a lost sheep is and will take it
back to the fold for Jesus. I hop.-; so.

Rept 01 Contention
Editor Enterprise:
I have just returned from the meet
ing of the county school superintend
ants, which was held in Moultrie May
3, 4 and 5. The meeting was one of
interest from start to finish.
Moultrie is a fine town; its citizens
are ranked among the best. It is re
membei'ed that this is the home of our
friend, Judge W. A. Covington, also
Z. H. Clark, who has passed away
since the meeting.
Many of the visitors ran out to the
stock farm and saw many things of
special interest; also the packing
plant, where the hogs were dying at
the rate of 1500 per day, then in just
a short time were boxed and sent out
as smoked meat to many parts of the
world. As we left this plant many
of us could say, “well, I never saw
anything like that befoi'e.” It was
stated that the great Irish looking
man whose job it was to remove the
introls, could handle about four each

minute.
By those who have never attended
these conventions, the questions would
be asked, why this gathering, and
what is the purpose; what is done,
etc. Answering the purpose is purely
educational. It stands for progi’es
sive education; better teaching, bet
ter equipments, better laws. The can
ning club, the corn dub, the poultry
club, the pig club, all receive consid
eration and encouragement in a word,
that class of education that may lie
brought into the home and the home
made better and happier, is the work
of the superintendents’ convention.
Many of the superintendents confess
ed that their scalps had been taken
away by anothei*. Possibly about two
thirds of the superintendents that had
a position in the last primary were
defeated.
From visiting these conventions and
seeing the work that is being done in
the state, we have the prob
lem of the defet of so many. These
superintendents are required to at
tend these conventions, where they
catch the progressive spirit. They
then return to their respective coun
ties and attempt to apply he same
progressive spirit, when their people
whom they serve is not in sympathy
with their progressive ideas. They
are not supposed to be, as they have
not been taught. For this reason they
say our superintendents are too pro
gressive; he tries to do too much;
then when the primary comes he is
often voted out only because He is
lined up with practical, progressive
education that is sweeping the state.
We are persuaded that as our people
are educated (parents) and see the
effects that is sui’e to follow the edu
cation aimed at today is that'which
makes the boy or gill love the home,
love the farm - , and that seeks to make
them both beautiful and attractive.
When this is seen hten criticism will
be seen and heard no mcer.
Many complimentary things were
said about the work in the grand old
county of Coffee by the messengers
present. We note with pleasure the
many nice things heard about our
own efficient Mr. Floyd. He is l'ecog
nized as one of the best superinten
dents in the state, a well deserved
honor. H. M. MEEKS.
