SECRET OF .SUCCESS
. A masterly delineation
was the .oOcalaurate t
Tifton High School, preached
C. A. Campbell of the First PtMby- harm,- r-very
terian church of Quitman at the au- J b *T s, f ked as
ditorium Sunday morning.
His subject was ■'Thr'Ettp Mile
—The Secret of a Successful Life.”
The first mile ig the mile-of the slave
the second that 'of the fl
first mile is compulsory; the second
voluntary. It is the extra thing you
the things you ore not compelled
do; the things you do of your own
:ord that make success in life.
This is the idea that Dr. Campbell
elucidated in such a clear-cut and
vigorous manner. He is a straight
thinker and speaker of force and
eloquence, his Scottish wit lending
just the needed touch to give him
impress. Few who were fortunate
enough to hear Dr. Campbell Sun
day will ever forget the great lesson
he brought.
A short musical progYam preceded
the sermon, with invocation by Rev.
C. V. Durden; scripture reading,
and “Rock of Ages," sung by Mi
Gower. F'ollowing the sermon Mrs.
R. A. Heinsnhn sang “Aria from
Cavalry,” followed by “Holy, Holy,
Holy," by the congregation and bene
diction by Rev. G. W. Mathews.
Dr. Campbell preached again at
night in the auditorium at a union
service to a large and appreciative
audience. His subject at the even
ing hour was: “The Joyous Christ,"
and the text was Jojin 15:11.
