A Wedd'ug at Hollonvllle.
Ehin, Ga., March 10.—Promptly
at 7 o’clock last Thursday night,
tbe doors of Hollonville Baptist
church were, thrown^ open and the
church well lighted. The walk and
pulpit being so nicely decorated with
tbe beautiful arches that canopied
the aisles, was conclusive evidence to
the large crowd that something in
the way of a brilliant wedding was
not far distant.
In due time H. 8. Jackson, of Wil¬
liamson, and Miss Della Scott, of
Hollonville, entered tbe door and as
Mrs. J. F. Hill, of Griffin, handled
the ivory keys of the organ the con¬
tracting parties marched through
the aisles to the altar, where Dr. S.
B. Cousin, of Lutherville, awaited
them. As the lovely bride leaned on
the arm of her intended husband Dr.
Cousin said: “My Beloyed Friends,
we are taught in the word of eternal
troth that God Himself instituted
matrimony, that He blessed it, that
He made it honorable, therefore,
we hold in oar handB the authority
to unite in the bonds of holy wedlock,
H. 8. Jackson and Miss Della Scott-
If there exist any legal objections
why these license should not be ex¬
ecuted, let them be made known; if
not, all parties will hereafter hold
their peace. Will you please join
right hands? Mr. Jackson, will yon
take Miss Della, whom you hold by
the right hand, to be your wedded
and lawful wife, forsaking all others,
will you be to her a kind and affec¬
tionate hnsband so long as you both
shall live?” “I will,” was tbe answer.
‘‘Miss Della, will you take Mr. Jack-
son, whom you hold by right hand,
to he yonr wedded and lawfal hus¬
band, forsaking all others, will you
be unto him a kind, affectionate and
obedient wife so long as you both
shall live?” “I will,” was the
answer. “What ~ God has joined to¬
gether let not mandat asunder. In
as much as you both have covenated
together before All Mighty God and
in the presence of these witnesses, by
virtue of the authority invested in us,
we now pronounce you husband and
wife.”
After a short and appropriate
prayer by Dr. Cousin, the church was
soon vacated, but the doors of the
hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. Z.
T. Scott were opened to the large
crowd, where awaited them a beau¬
tiful and well supplied table, prepar¬
ed by tbe skillful hands of Mrs. Scott
and Miss Addie Huckabv. The at¬
tendants were Dr. Ay cock and Miss
Addie Hnckaby, D. Reeves and Miss
Addie Yarbrough, E. H. Scott and
Miss Alma Owett, J. W. Gaulding and
Miss Belle Perkins. —
The presents were valuable, there¬
fore I will give a list: Mr. and Mrs.
Z. T. Scott, twenty dollars gold
piece; C. A. Dickenson, handsome
rocking chair; W. H. Baker, swing¬
ing parlor lamp; Dr. Aycock, silver
castor; J. W. Yarbrough, silver cake
stand; W. C. Hill, table damask and
napkins; Mr. and Mre. J. F. Hill, set
French goblets; A. D. Reeves, silver
pickle stand;‘Mr. and Mrs. R. H.
Yarbrough, set china plates; W. D.
Dinglor, twelve linen hand towels;
Miss Belle Perkins, silk pin cushion;
Miss Alma Owen, silver butter knife;
Mre. R. M. Scott, silver batter dish’.
The amiable bride is tbe oldest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Z. T. Scott,
of Hollonville. She, as the May flow¬
er, will adorn the sphere of life to
which she has been transplanted.
The groom is one of Williamson’s
leading merchants, and in addition
to his mercantile business he owns a
fine farm, which is now in the hands
of tenants.
There is not a young couple in my
knoweldge look than Mr. that and has a Mrs. brighter out¬
Jackson.
Let their courtship continue in tbe
future as in tbe past, which will fill
life with sunshine and joy.

The following is u synopsis of an
interesting sermon delivered nt the
Christian church last Sunday morn¬
ing by Rev. J. A. Perdue on the.
“Coming Kingdom.’"Text,Mutt 6.11:
This is a part of that unique and
beautiful prayer in which the Savior
taught his disciples, who came to
him and said, Lord, teach ns to
pray, as John also taught bis dis¬
ciples to pray. Jesus said when yon
pray say, “Our Father which art in
heaven, Hallowed be tby name, Thy
Kingdom come tby will be done on
earth, aa it is in heaven.”
put it is held, by many good peo¬
ple, that thepetition, “Tby Kingdom
come,” is obsolete—that the king¬
dom has come, and is already an
established tact. This is a very
superficial view—the petition con¬
tains two distinct ideas.
The word “kingdom” is sometimes
used as a synonym of the church, as
when Jesus said to Peter, “On this
rock I will build my church,” and
immediately adds, “I will give you
the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven.”
Keys are a symbol of%uthority, and
its evident meaning here is that to
Peter would be given authority to
pronounce the terms of admission
to the church.
When Christ, addressing his dis¬
ciples at Cseeera, said, “Thou art
Peter, and upon this rock I will build
my chnrcb, ***and will give yon the
keys of the Kingdom of Heaven,”
he clearly teaches two things.
First, that the chnrcb or kingdom
at that time did not exist, and sec¬
ond, that it would be established
during the life of his apostles. On
tbe same occasion, as recorded in
Matt. 16:28, he said, “There be
some standing here who shall not
taste of death until they see the Son
of man coming in his kingdom.” This
kingdom had long been a subject of
prophesy. (Dan. 2nd. ebap.) In tbe
second year of his reign, Nebnchad-
nezzer dreamed that he saw a com¬
posite image, and also a little stone,
cat oat of the mountains without
bands, which smote the image, and
ground it into powder, like chaff on
the threshing floor. Daniel inter¬
preted this image to symbolize fonr
universal monarchies, and the “little
stone” tbe Kingdom of God. He
said to the king of Babylon, “Thou
art the head of gold.” and after
thee shall rise an inferior kingdom,
and then a*third kingdom shall
ariee inferior to the second, and a
fourth inferior to the third. And in
tbe days oftbase kings, tbe God of
heaven will set up a kingdom that
shall never pass away. After Nebu¬
chadnezzar, came Cyras, then Alex¬
ander, and last the Caesars who
reigned over the Roman Empire.
The kingdom of heaven was in the
future when Daniel peophesied, and,
coming down the ages we look for it
until John the Baptist came preach¬
ing in the wilderness, and he tells us
it is Btitl in the future. During the
personal ministry of Christ he says,
“Some of yon shall not taste death
till yon see tne Son of Man coming
into His kingdom.” After the death
of Christ, Joseph of Arimathea, who
craved the body of Jesus and buried
it in his own new tomb, is said to be
an honorable connseller ^who also
waited for the kingdom of (5od.
Let it be borne in mind that the
kingdom was to be established dur-
inp the life of tbe apostles, and that
to Peter was to be given the keys of
tbe kingdom, and we go with them
to Jerusalem, and tarry till the first
Pentecost after the resurrection of
Christ and witness the descent of
the Holy Spirit, and hear the now
qualified and inspired Peter pro¬
nounce the terms of admission into
the established kingdom—the erected
church, composed of living stone,
built as an habitation of God
through The establishment the Spirit. kingdom
of a
and the promulgation of the law,
are co-etaneous. Tbe Jewish law
spread gloom and terror over the
period of its inauguration by the
slaughter of three thousand offend¬
ers. The gospel made forever bright
its natal day by the deathless smile
of three thousand pardoned sinners
Thebingdom came—the church was
established on the first Pentecost
alter the resurrection. When re¬
hearsing the events at the house of
Cornelius Peter said, “The Holy
Ghost fell on them as on us at the
beginning”—beginning of the king¬
dom of God. The text contains
this, but it contains more than this-
It says, “Tby kingdom come.” This
may refer simply to the establish¬
ment of the kingdom, but the
clause, -‘Thy will be done,” refers to
the triumph of tbe kingdom. Dan¬
iel said »t “shall never pass away.”
Christ said, “The gates of hell shall
not prevail against it/’ Daniel said,
“the little stone,”—symbol of king¬
dom of heaven—was to crash the
composite image—symbol of king¬
doms of earth—into chaff, and John
in apocalyjffie virion, saw tbe king¬
doms of this world become the king¬
dom of our Lord and bis Christ.
It may he optimism, but the
world is moving on in that direction,

.“Lead thou me on. Keep thou my
feet; I do not ask to see the distant
scenes. One step’s enough for me.”
To utter the giorious sentiment is
the duty of of every Christain, but to
pray “Tby kingdom come" requires,
first, A readiness for it. When ws

pare for them. Second, A joyful
