grace of salvation conditional only on
faith in Hia name. As believers, then,
"wo are built upon the foundation of
the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ
Himself being the chief corner-stone.”
Eph., 2: 20. The Old and New Testa
ments, in their development of the will
of God in salvation of the human race,
harmonize and constitute one complete
book. Through the bible God is known
to save and destroy, in confirmation of
this truth. I refer to Genesis, 6th, 7th,
and 8th chapters, which is a history of
the salvation of Noah and his family
and of the destruction of the balance of
the world. Also, in Genesis, 19th chap
ter, you will find Lot and his two
daughters saved in the destruction of
Sodom, the cities of the plain being de
stroyed, and even Lot's wife did not
escape, because of disobedience, as illus
trated in this particular case. Anoth
er instance in point occurred at the Red
Sea, when the Isrcalites were saved
and Pharaoh and his host were over
whelmed and drowned. The miraculous
preservation of Shadrach, Meshach and
Abednago and the destruction of men
who cast them into the furnace of fire,
where God in the person of his Son was
seen in the midst of fire and recognized
by the idolatrous king, furnish a furth
er proof. Again, refer to the 6th chap
ter of Daniel and see how God delivered
him from the jawB of the lion, where
his accusers fell into the destruction
they had prepared for him. I have
cited these instances to prove that
temporal salvation is of God. Though
the righteous in Christ are often afflicted
in this world, and are subject to sor
rows, disappointment and death, yet
God in His own time delivers them,
and although the wicked spread him
self as the green bay tree and prospers
even until his eyes stand out with fat
ness, the Lord shall laugh at him, for
Ho seeth that his day is coming: Ps.,
37:13. That salvation which reaches
beyond this vale of tears, sorrows, dis
appointments, sins and death is the
salvation which especially interests us,
the assurance of which gladdens the
heart oven under its heaviest afflic
tions. That the righteous are snved by
grace through faith in Christ, and the
wicked are lost through unbelief, are
facts so clearly shown that further de
monstration seems useless.
The eternal salvation of the righteous.
It is only necessary undar this head to
inquire, Who aro tho righteous? In one
senso'of the word, there is none right
eous; they aro all gono aside; they are
altogether become filthy; there is none
that doeth good, no, not one: Ps., 14:
3. All men naturally are wicked. This
is true, applied us well to the self-
righteous Pharnsee as to tho blasphem
er. But still there is a class of people
called righteous. This class aro those
who have passed through tho new birth,
as described by Christ himself to Nico-
domus—that class of people who have
the spirit of Christ in them, bearing
witness with their spirits that they are
the children of God; they are those who
are not their own, but have been bought
with the precious blood of Christ. Tho
reader is referred to the 25th chapter
of Matthew, 31st verse, where Christ
huB set forth tho character of tho
righteous. When wo take a view of
the tenor of the whole bible wo see the
character of the righteous set forth and
described so minutely and clearly that
those who read cannot bo deceived as
to who is meant. The duties of the
ministers of tho gospel and tho officers
of the church, and private members,
male and femule, under all circum
stances, are clearly pointed out.
"Wherefore by their fruit ye shall know
them: Matt,, 7: 20.
I will now say a few words to comfort
and encourage the righteous. Comfort
ye, comfort ye, my people, saith your
God: Is., 40:1. When Christ, who is
our life, shall appear, then shall ye al
so appear with Him in glory: Col., 3: 4.
For we know that if our earthly house
of this tabernacle were dissolved, we
have a building of God, a house not
made with hands, eternal in the heav
ens: II. Cor., 5: 1. And we know that
the Son of God is come and hath given
us an understanding that we may know
Him. That is true, and we are in Him.
Even in His Son, Jesus Christ. This is
the truo God and eternal life: John,
5:20.
My beloved brethern, we see here
what is meant by eternal life. This is
the life of Christ, the life of God, and
the life of Christ and God aro eternal.
My beloved Chrisi ian brethren, seeing
how glorious this eternal life is, should
we not be willing to suffer for Christ?
The everlasting punishment of the
wicked- -these shall go away into over-
lasting punishment: Matt., 25 : 46. We
have, in this chapter a description of the
great day of accounts, the finnl judg-

ment. If the righteous are eternally
saved, the wicked will be eternally lost.
My early impressions on religious sub
jects were received from my father,
who wsb a man of intelligence and gen
eral reading—above the ordinary man
of his day. He had been a member of
the Baptist church, but was excluded
on account of what was termed Arme-
nianism. Afterwards he became very
restless under his condition and obtained
a book written by Winchester, who had
once been a Baptist preacher in the
State of Virginia, and a personal ac
quaintance of my father. This man
professed to be a scholar. His book
advocated the doctrine of universal sal
vation. for which my father became an
advocate, and under his influence I be
came somewhat a believer in the doc
trine. Over forty years ago my father
died. I took the book myself, and a'f-
ter reading it became thoroughly dis
gusted with it, and satisfied that the
doctrine was false. I then studied the
bible and took it for my guide in doc
trine and practice.
We now turn our attention to the
general judgment. Hear the word of
God: "Let us hear the conclusion of the
whole matter, Fear God and keep His
commandments, for this is the whole
duty of man:” Eccl., 12:13, 14. For
we all must appear before the judg
ment seat of God, that everyone may
receive the things done in His body,
whether it be good or bad. II. Cor., 5:
10.
In conclusion, I now address my
Christian brethern of every rank and
order. Let God be true, but every man
a liar: Rom., 3: 4. But you and I, as
Christians, say that God is our law-giv
er, and Jfisus Christ His Son, the great
law-fulfiller. We have received Him as
our Savior, as our mediator, as our ad
vocate, the bible as our guide, the Holy
Spirit as our leader, and that glorious
heaven as our home, where righteous
Abel and all the redeemed throng are
Baved eternally. With one accord we
acknowledge the bible is the truth, and
hell is just as awful as the word of God
describes it to be. Wherefore, take
unto you tho whole armor of God, that
ye may be able to withstand'in tho evil
day, and therefore having your loins
girted about with truth and having on
the breast-plate of righteousness, and
your feet shod with the preparation of
tho gospel of peace. And, above all,
taking tho shield of faith, wherewith
ye ehall be able to quench the fiery
darts of the wicked and take the hel
met of salvation and the sword of the
Spirit, which is the word of God, pray
ing always with all prayer and suppli
cation in the Spirit, and watching there
unto with all perseverance and suppli
cation for all kaints: Eph., 6: 11-18.
Through Christ I feel I shall meet that
heavenly host, though unworthy in my
self. Strive, brethren, by the grace
of God to meet me on the banks of
eternal deliverance.
Finally, brethren, farewell!

Resolutions of Respect.
MRS. NANCY. JONES MORRIS.
On Oct. 21, 1909, the Angel of Death
bore away the spirit of our sister and
friend, Mrs. Nancy Jones Morris.
She was born Feb. 14, 1822, and joined
tho church at the age of 17, at old Tow-
aliga church. She was married to W.
F. Morris in 1840, and was the mother
of nine children. Four children survive
this sainted mother—Mrs. S. R. Hayes,
J. L. Morris, J. M. Morris and Mrs. M.
S. Hindsman.
"I am the resurrection and the life;
he that believeth on me, though he
wore dead, yet shall he live;”—such are
the beautiful words given us as a bea
con in God’s holy book of life. The
church, through her committee, can
only express praise for the long-contin
ued and steadfast devotion of our be
loved sister. It seems hard to give her
up, but we know that earth has no sor
row that heaven cannot heal. Then let
us be resigned to His will, Therefore,
be it resolvod—
1. That wo how in humble submission
to the will of Him who doeth all things
well.
2. That wo extend our sympathy to
tho bereaved relatives and friends,
praying God’s blessing on them.
3. That a page of our record be de
voted to her memory, and that a copy
of these resolutions be sent The Herald
and Advertiser for publication.
Respectfullv submitted,
Mrs. Mattie Park,
Mrs. Nora Braswell,
Mrs. Mary Bexley,

ladness and sorrow, hope and disap-
itment, constitute a large part of
i’s experience in this life. God has
to experiment, hut His dealings
>ugh'.a kind providence are based
nfinitc wisdom and love: and happy
lat man who :• vognir.'s that A11-
* Hand that directs him when suh-
sive to God s will. Such was the
life of the subject of this memorial,
and while the pathway of our beloved
brother was through a lane of wreck
age and ruin of those who fell by the
wayside—those who regarded not the
loving Hand that would have saved
them.—he, like one of old, could fitting
ly say, “I have fought a good fight. I
have finished my course, I have kept
the faith; henceforth there is laid up
for me a crown of righteousness which
the Lord, the righteous Judge, Bhall
give me on that day—and not to me
only, but unto all them also that love
His appearing.”
In the death of - Bro. Hindsman, our
senior deacon, each member of this
church feels the sad bereavement of a
personal friend; and especially do some
of your.committee, who have enjoyed
his uninterrupted friendship for fifty
years; and while we mourn the loss of
a comrade and brother, we have the
consolation of knowing that when the
great Captain called him, after more
than forty-two years of faithful ser
vice, he answered from the very front
ranks of that great army that shall
conquer the world for the Master.
Therefore, be it resolved—
1. That while we, as a church, will
Badly miss the presence and the coun
sel of our brother, always clear and
conservative, we meekly submit to
God's will in the dispensations of his
providence.
2. That we deeply sympathize with
the family of deceased.
3. That a copy of these resolutions be
furnished the family, and also inscribed
on our church records.
4. That The Herald and Advertiser
be requested to publish same.

A Tribute to tbe Memory of Mrs
John D. Favor.
The first poignant shock of a great
and sudden grief has given way to a
deep and lasting sorrow. The drama of
this sweet life, like the odor of precious
ointment, lingers and shall last forever.
Nearly five weeks have passed since
the spirit of Mrs. John D. Faver winged
its flight to that Better Land. The
bright cheerfulness of her face, the
merriment of her laugh, and her sweet
music, made her an enemy to gloom;
for in this world, always partly in
shadow', she sought and found the sun
niest sides. In happy accord with those
around her, her heart in harmony with
their joys and griefs, she lived her life
—a beautiful Christian. Her purity
was sublime, and her virtues could not
be named. , She came and went, like a
smile from God. Her pure life, so free
from care, had sweetened and sancti
fied her few fleeting yeaas; and now
we may say of her: "Her soul was at
tuned to the place God had given her
to fill.”
What a mystery is death! If there be
one greater, it is evinced when we see
a young life brought to its close in the
early morning of its brightest exist
ence. She seemed as much a part of
us as thesunlight of the day;—and she,
it seems but yesterday, moved in and
out among us, bouyant in spirit, with
the rose of health upon her cheeks and
the light of hope within her eyes. The
happiness of one year of an ideal mar
ried life speaks loud its praises to the
young husband, who now feels that
earth’s choicest treasure has been ta
ken from him To the mother, sisters
and brothers the memory of her strong
personality, sweet music and sunshiny
nature will grow even richer, until our
kindred spirits meet again. The fami
ly were not alone in their sorrow, as
hundreds of friends gathered around
her fair form, with its Bnowy array of a
youthful bride, to pay the last tribute
of love in tears.
As, one by one, the stars appear, so
the lights along the shore of the “glo
ry world” as our loved ones pass into
the haven of rest. The longest journey
of life is, at mast, a brief one. A few
more days, a few more heartaches, and
we, too, shall enter the Great Beyond.
Sorrow’s only consolation is the divine
promise that makes us look beyond the
hour of death to the blissfulness of life
eternal; and, though oft depressed and
lonely, all our griefs are laid aside
when we but remember only such as
she has lived and died. * * - *

Rheumatism is a specific blood fermentation, a souring
of the circulation from an excess of uric acid accumulating
in the blood stream. This uratic impurity comes usually as
a result of constipation, weak kidneys, indigestion and stom
ach disturbances. These systemic irregularities may not be
of marked severity or of long duration, but each has a direct
effect on the eliminative members of the body, which prevents
the proper removal of the waste products. This refuse re
mains in the stomach and bowels, and souring forms uric
acid, which the blood quickly absorbs.
Rheumatism is usually manifested in the joints and
muscles. It is here its sharpest twinges of pain are felt, and
stiffening of ligaments and tendons first commence. The
pain of Rheumatism is caused by the contact of the sensory
nerves with the gritty, acrid formation which uric acid causes
to accumulate in the corpuscles of the blood about the joints. The stiff
ening of muscles and joints is usually gradual. Constantly the blood
deposits the uric acid into the joints, and slowly the natural fluids are dried
up and destroyed. Then Rheumatism becomes chronic and serious. Rheuma
tism is sometimes inherited, for like all
blood diseases it can be transmitted to
offspring. This explains why some
persons are afflicted with the disease,
and suffer its pains, who have otherwise
been perfectly healthy.
S.S.S. cures Rheumatism and cures
it permanently. It goes into the circu
lation, and removes the uric acid,
purifies the blood, and in this way
destroys the cause. S. S. S. changes
the blood from a sour, acid-steeped
stream to a rich, healthy fluid, which
quiets. the excited nerves, eases the
throbbing muscles and painful joints, and filters out of the circulation the
irritating matter which causes every painful symptom of the disease. When
the blood has been purified and enriched by S.S.S., it nourishes the different
members that have been weakened and starved because of imperfect blood.
