Manu&ctnred by Califor nia Fig Syrup Company. GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, SUNDAY Ml WOMAN’S FOREIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY. ■ "■ " I BY THE SECRETARY OF THE GRIFFIN DISTRICT, Our Saviour was the first missionary. He was also a foreign miationkry. Had He believed in home missions onlj- He never would have left His “lofty habitation in heaven” to visit so distant a sphere as our little earth. The world moves Even the religious world is not altogether still. In former times, many church members cared nothing even for home missions. It is becoming common in this day of ours to hear people say that they be lieve in home missions. Some persons even dare to advocate foreign missions. This means progress. Very many have taken the first step in the Christian life and some are now taking the sec* ond step. The person that believes in home missions only is, to speak properly, only a half-hearted Christian. His charity is the kind that begins at home and ends at the same place. If he ever prays at all, his invocation has this quaint old form : “Lord bless me and my wife, my son John and his wife—us four, and no more ” It is about as difficult for a human being to rid himself of selfishness as it is for a snail to divest itself of its shell which it ever carries as its covering. When the snail is “on the move” and is touched with something unpleasant, it quickly draws itself into its shell. So, likewise, when some persons are asked to help foreign missions, they crawl back into their home mission integuments, or else beat a hasty re treat into “bard-shellism.” It requires coaxing to induce young church members to violate their vows. Strange to say, the man who inveigles young Christiane into • unchristian amusements is usually the man who has most to say about the inconsistency of church members Kindness begets kindness. That person is a base ingrate, indeed, whose saver can not be reached by our kindly interest in him. But pure love for others brings its own reward. “Show ing an interest in others may not, always, cause them to love us more, but it will cause us to love them more, which after all is the matter that con cerns us most.” fie fas- , sisaile y, 599 slgna-.urs Z S'" y --16 1 - r ,TtT y.

This is but the output of the Kim ball House caucus, held immediately trpon the return to Georgia of Gov. Atkinson. Os course Atkinson’s friends will seek to make it appear that opposition was forced by Col. Candler’s letter, when io reality the secret organization of the Gov.. Atkinson ring was the cause of the latter. Col. Candler knew thia ring would oppose his election and he merely struck the first blow.
