Bartlett. Addrss either, Jasper or Ball Ground, Ga. Religious I'n r- ■r this head will he found n OU8 itenis of interest to a j Vital Christianity No. 2. What is Christianity? “Christ” moans the anointed. Christ is the anointed of God, be¬ cause “He loved rightousness and hated iniquity.” Hob. I; 0. Christ was not anointed wit rand urn but because of somthing. That som¬ thing was charactor-Principle. Christ’s diciples were called chris l ains first at Antioch. They must have been called such from their conduct or principle. It was never said that Christian-Christ-One, was not a befit ing name for a dc ciplo of Christ. Then if Christ is The anoninted, the christain js O ne anointed. If Christ was anointed for what he was if fol¬ lows that the deciplo is anointed for what ho is. The name or the anointing is only a sign of that character for which the anointing is done. The question that hasjnir plexed the world is, What is that character? Now as to Christ, we are not purplexed. We know that He is the Son of God, as such was anointed a Saviour. But how one born utterly depraved, void of any God like character, can bo said to be One anointed, is the question hard to solve. “Except a man lie born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God ; “Marvil not that 1 said unto you ye must Ije born again.” Jon. 8 ; 8 , &c. Before any thing can right¬ fully bear the name Christian, it must have the. character. Charac¬ ter, is-not name but being. Then where the chanu-t erof which chris c^mityja not,a tq;ue and befit’ng gJ ‘ iM k> 4 v Aiaf it'* but t c John in the U< Ye KWo a name to live .. dead.” This accounts for so mam in our churehea who profess Chris¬ tianity hut never do any thing by which one can know that they are Christians. They are very much like the boy’s father. A minister asked a little boy if his father was a member of the church, the reply was “Yo,e e s sir, I think lit' is but he don’t work at it much.” No, if would be a hard matter for some professing Christians to raise a suspicion even, that they were christains. As to the charact er truly named christain, you can find it spoken of in John, 8 , 16, “God so loved.” Love is that, character. Christ being the express image of His person, the brightness of His Glory in whom the God-head dwelt bodi¬ ly, must have been tin' expression of His, the Father’s love. To love God and hate evil is to be in pos¬ session of the Rove of God. Christ was the trim expression of that atribute of God called love. Paul looked upon Him nr such whan lie said, He, Christ, “Loved me ane gave Himself for mo.” Christ takes the background in John 8 ; 110. Paul puts Christ in possession of that Giving love, “He, Christ, Loved me and Gave himself me.” This is a different love from that man posesses by nature, by nature man is “Prone to evil, ‘The chil¬ dren of disobedienc, ‘Carnally minded — Enmity against God, ‘Children of wrath.” It is possible for this Love which caused Christ to give Himself for us, to be pos¬ sessed by us. If we are not in pos¬ session of it wo are not Christians. “If ye have not the Spirit of Christ ye are none of His,” is a fearful declaration by Paul. (To be continued) < O.WKHSATrOJf SO. 3. The two Frh nd* Meet After inquiring of each the others welfare they proceed to dis cuss matters about as follows: “Hay, good friend Joe, I am glad to see you again before* you depart for your far away home, especially since you have heard directly from there, as I hear, in the last few days, perhaps you can give me something new about Tardy.” Joe. “Indeed I was afraid I would not get to see you but a good providence has brought us together again. I hope you are well.” John. “Yes, very, thank heaven. Rut as 1 am anxious to hear from Tardy on account, of fresh news well as to be informed in inference to the signs of improvement m the town, I am gett’ng on in years and what I do will have to lie done soon. I want to know the best place to go, where I can have the advantage I made mention of in our last talk.” Joe. “What particular advantage did you mention?” John. “Social, church and school. Jce. “I remember now, and I promised to tell you of some of the hopeful signs in Tarday. Well the first one I mention ia Grab i« get¬ ting old and has played his tricks so often that many have learned them and consequently he dent grab as much as lie used to, and more, his couduct has throughly disgusted the voting men of our town that they shun him and his ways, so, his in¬ fluence is lying out.’ John. “So mote it he.” Joe. “There is Mr. So" Eagle, I did not iv r - ,» ove” A' i ..pUiq soon, yt le has hi ways bcou, . aked out that he very iuuu .eot, to a firm that wi'l close him mu, it ia, said, without a dollar of his own. The property that I 10 now claims will be divided among young vigorous persons who have the welfare of then* country at heart. Now old Squeeze Eagle has been more in the way ot public enterprise than all the others togeth¬ er. For when a school house or church building or anything ot a public iiature was mentioned be would say, .“The old • one will do, more than that, we just have not got tho money, just look at the poor widows I have to keep up and the beggars who come to me almost daily, you see I am shout thewealth iest man around and I can’t help.” Tho truth is, he lied about keeping up the widows etc., it was only a bluff which worked well for him, for when the people found that old Squeeze Eagle would not. help they said we can’t do it ourselves so there was nothing done.” John. “Why, it. seems to me that a man like that would be better out of the way.” Joe, Indeed, when he got a dol¬ lar it was like throwing it into the sea, you saw it no more and in send of his being a help m any way he always hindered. But from what this letter says, he is going to be called into accounts before a just Judge who cares for the good of all the people. Prejudice and Seenogood, are still at their old trade. See-no-good has brayed so much that his influnce is gotie, and poor old Prejudice will soon be left alone. The school system that has been worked, though poor¬ ly, has educated a great many away from old Prjudiee, you know iguor anee faster prejudice, so, when Pre¬ judice has nothing more to live on, he will die ou',“ .John. “So mote it he. . Joe, “Time is another vei v > hwjeful sign, this letter says; there is a strong talk of building a tine new school house and runing the school on the graded plan, we don’t bear any opposition. I think the only Udng lacking is some one to say, come let us ti«t and build, “That sounds to me like there is somthing going to Lie done,” r *—■ 4 >lin, “That does sounds better enough, IIow about the churches I •uld not want to move to a town wT -e there 1, a continual n. nal strife, I want my children to ft| the dignity of Christianity but t k ere strife over questions importance, the dignity of re¬ | is laid in tlie dust and mere ^ jy disputation take the place of ( | livine; worship that becomes t r| piety.'’ A?* “True, I think that will soon •far r It*.

So you see John, that we ara looking up. I may outgo home for some time yet, in fhat event, I will likely get an¬ other letter from home and will try to keep you posted, as I am very anxious to have you move to Tardy ” John, “Very well, I will not make a dectssion for some time: not riw at least, since you give me so many hopeful signs of your town building. 1 wait anxiously to hear Jnit” some more good news. So, good bye ‘God be with John.” this point tho friends seperrAed aving suspected a listener. And jf meet again we will try to hear t they say, if so, we will report.

If reports coining through the British censor are to be accepted as true the British have now begun their first, decisive campaign. As in all previous campaigns they were defeated, those were not decisive; for it is one peculiarity of the British military character that nothing ia decisive but Britsh victory, whether it ever comes or not. Wo must be prepared, there¬ fore, to regard Lord Roberts’s movement along the Modder river as decisive or not, according to whether he wins the fighting or the Boers win it. if the Boers win, another decisive campaign will be made by tho British.—The Public lurests vrltb you whether you continue* ^^« SlljP?WlU.ottt°e a nUT°p”r8{?tentlT.'OnS 1 l)OT.*l, usually cures; 3 boxes,•*(> 60 , :21pa ! s’ -vR **' la *“*‘ 1 -** B • ;'v mm \A Kc3c!
