SOCIAL SALAD
'l '■
PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR
SUNDAY’S CALL.
My lover asked me for my heart
In words correct and choice;
I thanked himdbr his courtesy
With cool and tranquil voice.
But first I took it all to bits
That fond, unruly heart;
I made it beat in perfect time,
And polished every part.
And when it was in order vet,
I said to him, “You must,
If you would satisfaction get
From it, be kind and just;
“And do no treat it with neglect,
So -shall you know no lack
While it maintains within your home
Its cheerful clock, click, clack.”
My lover’s friend knocked at the door,
And ah, how indiscreet I
. My foolish heart stopped beating,
And fell down at his feet.

Airs. R H. Taylor delightfully en
tertained the members of the Dorcas
Society on Monday afternoon at her
home on Solomon street. Beautiful
cut flowers and palms were gracefully
arranged in the pretty rooms, and the
affair was an exceedingly enjoyable
one Mrs Taylor had arranged a pro
gram for the pleasure of her guests
that afternoon, which indeed proved
very entertaining. Miss Sherwood
and Miss Roselyn Reid played beauti
ful piano selections. There were also
pretty songs by Mrs. M. E. Wilson
and Miss Leela Redding. The grace
ful recitations of Miss Mary Mell Neel
called forth many charming comments
as did also those of Miss Florence Doe.
Another very interesting feature of the
afternoon was an original poem by
Mrs Lloyd Cleveland. At each of the
social meetings of the Dorcas there is
a collection taken for the poor, and on
Monday afternoon an unusually large
amount was given. During the after
noon the daintiest refreshments were
served.

Miss Lois Hudson was the very at
tractive hostess at a delightful card
party given on Tuesday evening at her
home on Thirteenth street. The affair
was given to the members of the Sex
tette Club and a few of their friends
and was indeed a charming compli
ment. The guests enjoyed an inter
esting game of progressive whist. On
the card tables olives, chocolate bona
bone, stuffed dates and fruit were
served. At the close of the game it
was found that Miss Corinne Nall and
Miss Lois Hudson had tied for the
prize, a sterling silver knife and glove
buttoner combined. .It was agreed
that they, with Messrs. Beeks and
Davis should play a game of whist to
decide the winner of the prize. This
resulted in victory for Mies Nall. The
gentleman’s prize, a box of cigars, was
won by Mr. Walter Beeks. Those
present were: Misse n Mary Mell Neel,
Eunice Edwards, Leela Redding, Mat
tie Terry, Florrie Jean Richards, Ros
elyn Reid, Corinne Nall, Lois Hudson,
Messrs. Louis Niles, Leon Davis, James
Bedding, Seneca Bawteli, Ernest Car

ing dainty little silk pin-cushions, the
ones having the five of one color to
play on the same table. Chocolate
bonbons, and peppermints were served
during the game, at the close of which

entertained in a thoroughly delightful
way the members of the Thirteen club
and a few additional friends. The af
fair was a “photograph party,” and
was a charming compliment to Miss
Neely, of Buffalo, who is the much ad

ing the afternoon an elaborate course
of refreshments was served.

A girl doesn’t love every man she is

show with.
After a woman marries a man she
stops looking wistfully at him and says
what she means. • •. ,

name the postmaster general, but she

A woman is no longer interesting to

Humorous Mistakes.
There is a subtle vein of humor in
the story of the editor who wrote dur
ing an election : “The battle is now
opened.” The compositor spelled
“battle” with an “o,” and the other
side said, of course, they bad suspect
ed it from the first.
It was by a similar mistake that the
late Baker Pasha, who might fairly be
described as a “battle scarred veteran,”
was called a “battle scared veteran,”
the libel being by no means purged
when the newspaper called the gallant
officer a “bottle scared veteran."
Owing to an error in printing the
announcement “A sailor going to sea
his wife desires the prayers of the con
gregation,” became “A sailor going to
see bis wife deserves the prayers of the
congregation.”
In Olden Times
People overlooked the importance of per

is generally known that Syrup of Figs will

finally injure the system.

only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the

When this tube gets Inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect bearing, and
when it u entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to. its

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, BUNDAY MORNING,-JANUARY 16, 1868.
A WORD ABOUT CREEDS-
The Forward Movement of the
Church. ’
BY W. E. H. BEABCY.
Rev. W. W. Landrum, pastor of the
First Baptist church of Atlanta,
preached quite an eloquent and in
structive sermon last week, at the an
niversary celebration of bis church. I
clip the following, as bearing directly
upon my subject today :
THEOLOGY IN GEORGIA.
“Theology in Georgia 50 years ago
is not theology today ; theology, we
must not forget, is a human science,
imperfect and progressive ; theology is
man’s word about God’s word; man’s
word changes with increased light and
learning, but God’s word abideth for
ever. The trend today is toward a
Biblical theology. Biblical theology,
with all due respect to C.»lvanism and
Armenianism, declines to call either
system final, but seeks tu construct a
system that is Christo centric.”
The eminent minister, is correct
when be says “the trend of the times
is towards Biblical theology,” and “to
wards the construction of a ’ system
that is Christo centric.”
He is also correct in hia statement
that Biblical theology does not recejve
as final either Galvanism or Armen
ianism. We agree with the statement
fully. Jdbn Calvin, John Wesley,
Arminius, Swedenborg, Luther, John
Knox, were all great men ; but there
is no reason that they should control
the religious sentiment of this age.
They were not infalible, and laid no
claims to being inspired. In all the
religious systems of the world the
great trouble of progressive thought
has bden with great men who have
impressed themselves so deeply in
their systems that their followers have
never been able to improve them.
Take Mohamedanism, Hindooism,
Confucianism, Parseeism—every sys
tem, everywhere—and they are just
handicapped, Christianity is itself to
some extent handicapped by the opin
ions of great and good men like those
we have named.
In Christianity we have tbe Bible,
and the trend of the age, as Dr. Land
rum remarks, is towards a Biblical
theology. We have today a greater
knowledge of Bible lands, a greater
knowledge of comparative language;
we have great discoveries opening up
a wonderful amount of bistory of tbe
nations who lived contemporaneously
with tbe people who wrote the Bible,
and we therefore know more about it
than these distinguished men who
knew in their day.
If we were to take up and follow tbe
teachings of a scientific work one buns
dred years old, except in some matters
of discovery, we would be left far be
hind those who work with latter day
formulas. So, if we follow tbe ages of
the past we will be continually behind
the breast of the age. Jesus Christ is
our propitiatory sacrifice; tbeßible is
our light to truth; tbe Hely Spirit of
God is our regenerator; a pure life is
our highest end ; charity (love) is the
mainspring of our lives.
If we come within these spiritual
influences we have touched that which
can shape our lives and our destiny
here as to the forms of baptism, if we
differ honestly and sincerely, and yet
apply to our souls the balm of gillead
and be healed.
As an illustration as to bow tbe
church itself changes its views I will
refer to the subject of the resurrection.
The old Apostolic Constitutions had
this: “I believe iu the resurrection of
the flesh.” When tbe great convoca
tion assembled in counsel at Nice they
changed that to this: “I believe in
tbe resurrection of the dead” The
apostles creed (as we call it, but which
the apostles never saw in its present
shape) says: “I believe in the resui
rection of the body.” Now there are
many Christians who believe in tbe
resurrection of the flesh, but it would
not do to have that in a creed when
Paul said “flesh and blood can not in
herit the kingdom of heaven j” so the
fathers iu convention changed it to
the “dead,” but the Christian world
always believed in tbs resurrection of
the body, so we finally got “body” as
an expression of the apostolic teach
ings.
• Now those who believe in the resur
rection of the natqral body, and those
who believe in tbe resurrection of tbe
spiritual body, both can say “we be
lieve in the resurrection of tbe body.”
Let us get close to tbe Bible and
Christ and go forward, and not look
backward to great men and human
creeds.

New Year’s Soliloquy-
The year rolls round and steals away;
It makes no stop—not even a day;
It bears us on without our aid,
Till in the tomb our flesh is laid.
Then,whence the soul shall take its flight
To realms of day, or endless night?
What have we done to make our home
Beyond the skies in heaven’s dome?
Have we fixed our Home above
When all is gay and peace and love ?
• Or are we drifting far away,
From Lord and heaven and endless day?
