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. Ethelwyn Wetherald. • * * Airs. R H.

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 manently beneficial effects and were satis fled with transient action; but now that it is generally known that Syrup of Figs will permanently overcome habitual constipa tion, well-informed people will not buy other laxatives, which act for’a time, but finally injure the system. - Deafness Oanpot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear.

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.
