DEATH OF LOVELY YOUNG LADY
The whole community is saddened bv the recent death j
l of Miss Sarah King, the lovelv young daughter of Mr. and
1
Mrs. C. C. King, of this city.
She was loved by all who had the pleasure of her ac
i quaintance and the News joins her host of friends in sympa
thizing with her loved ones in their hour of sorrow.
She died with a smile on her lips and no thought of self.
■' All of her last words were of others, messages of happiness
r and comfort to those of her loved ones whom she was leaving
IS behind.
a' (jnly one who had lived an exemplary Christian life could
have passed away with the serene feeling that all was well
with her soul. We have never heard of a more peaceful and
•1 glorious passing and it has rmoved much of the terror of the
fSBr grave from all who have heard the sacred and beautiful story
of her passing.
After talking with her loved ones in a most cheerful and
11 happy tone and giving her comforting messages to all and
telling them how beautiful death was, she said: “I believe I
will go to sleep.” Truly she is ‘‘asleep in Christ.”

Sunday School Lesson
Christian Character and Peace
Lesson: Colossians 3:1-17.
Golden Text: And let the peace
of Christ rule in your hearts, to
the which also ye were called in
one body. Colossians 3:15.
Paul wrote this letter to the
church in Colosse near Ephesus in
his Roman prison. It is rich in
practical teaching and yet in it
Paul dipped his pen deeper into
hiJosophy than in any other epistle
setting forth Christ as the origin
a nd center of the creation “in
whom all things consist,” or “hold
together” (1:14-17).
The Christian’s ideal is the first
point. “If then ye were raised to
gether with Christ, seek the things
that are above.”
What a man seeks reveals what
he is. If we see one man seeking
a saloon and another man seeking
church, we know these two men.
The best things are above and
see vastly more when we look
toward the sky than when we
down upon the earth.
The Christian looks higher for
ideal and finds it where Christ
at the right hand of God.
The things that are upon earth,
its bread and business and
are good and proper in
place and degree. But this is
subordinate place in subjection
the things above. Flesh is to be
and spirit is to be master.
We are to keep the things that
of the earth under our feet
we struggle up towards the
things that are above and that
reach their culmination in Christ
at the right hand of God.
Christ is the Christian's ideal,
heavenly vision that is ever
lure us on and lift us up.
Powerful means and motives are
the Christian to enable
to realize this ideal. “For ye
and your life is hid with
in God.” Christ died to sin
the sense that his death cut him
from the temptation and
and guilt of sin as he bore
as our Redeemer.
The Christian being in union
Christ passes through the
death; he loses the affinity
and desire for sin and be
dead to it.
This result is not attained by a
act but by a prolonged pro
Sin still survives and strug
gles in the Christian, but he
struggles against it; he counts him
self dead to it and strives to root
out any desire and feeling in him
that would become alive to sin.
Such a process may gradually kill
the old sinful nature until no
such living desire is left.
O nthe other hand, the Christ
ia n being thus dead to sin, is more
and intensely alive than
ever, for his life is hid with Christ
in God.
This grand means of attaining
the Christian ideal is also ener
gized with a grand mo ti ve .
“when Christ, who is our life,
shall be manifested, then shall ye
also with him be manifested in
glory.” Christ is being constantly
manifested in this world in his dis
‘ aples wbo re " ec \ th ® ® pl ® ndor of
t
fested in his full and final lory
when he shall appear in his eternal
kingdom , and then shall his dis
c i P i es also share in his glory,
This splendid hope is the com
pietion and crown of the Christian
life and is a motive that should
more de[inllelv the s b

(an ideal. It is a two-sided pro
This begins with mortifying the
earthl y members, which are the
instruments of the earthly sinful
life.

THE COVINGTON NEWS, COVINGTON, GEORGIA
Mark Twain, “and yet have !
worse.’’ “But now do ye also put
them all away: anger, wrath, mal
ice, railing, shameful speaking out i
of your mouth.”
Many a Christian that is little
tempted in the flesh and to whom
an intoxicating drink may be a re
pulsive thing and is strict to the
point of abstinence and prohibi
tion in matters of appetite will yet j
cherish uncharitable feelings and i
show an, unchristian spirit and spit
out spiteful words, perhaps all the
while priding himself on his su
perior virtue and seemingly un
conscious of the wide chasm that
these things put between him and
the loving forgiving Christ.
Lying is another of these spiritu
al sins that the Christian must put
off.
This sin also assumes many j
shapes and shades. It not only gets |
uttered by Christian lips in out
right lies, but also insinuates itself
into our speech in many subtle !
forms. Exaggeration, misrepre- I
sentation, deceit, shaping things so
as to make them fit our views and
interests or our prejudices— how
many are the cunning ways in j
which we can mix falsehood with j
our speech and make ourselves be- I
lieve we are telling the truth when
we are telling a lie?
All these sinful things that to
gether constitute “the old man” we
must strip off. This “old man”
has troubled and disgraced us long
enough: let us hold his funeral and
bury him in his grave.
The other side of this process is
to “put on the new man.” The
Christian does something more
than get rid of his sins; this pro
cess when carried to completion,
would only result in a negative
goodness which would be good for j
nothing; it would never build a
man of positive faith and force.
“Thou shalt be turned into an
other man” (I Sam. 10:6) was a
promise made to Saul, and it can
be fulfilled in a still deeper de- j
gree with us. This new man “is |
being renewed unto knowledge j
after the image of him that ere- j
ated him.”
The divine image that has been
so blurred and marred in the hu
man soul by sin is restored and
once more man begins to look like
God.
The elements that constitute the
new man are now more fully spec
ified: “a heart of compassion, kind
ness. loveliness, meekness, long
suffering, forbearing one another, |
and forgiving each other”; how j
characteristic are these of Christ! j
“And above all these things put
on love, which is the bond of per
fectness.”
Whatever else the new man is
he must abound in love as the band
that binds all other graces into
unity and strength, the richly-em
broidered girdle of silk and gold
that gleams among them and lends
them grace and beauty.
