NO SMALLPOX IN MURRAY.
Only Ihe “Smell” of
Autos.
Quite a number of Murray’s
citizens are far enough behind to
greet with a smile Judge Bogle’s
“Warm Letter to Murray,” ap
pearing in The Dalton Argus o!
May the 6th. It is highly inter¬
esting for us to be told by Whit
Jield’s venerable and highly re¬
spected officers and citizens thai
“the whole east side of Murray
county is infected, and thatvict
ims are being added daily to the
listof smallpox sufferers.” Ana
to be advised of our duty in the
premises.
This is apiece of dreadful news
to the good people of this coun¬
ty; '<r rather, it would be dread¬
ful, if any one took the state¬
ments at ail seriously.
The officials and the physicians
of Murray would be grateful in¬
deed if Judge Bogle will get hit
informant to furnish our Ordina
ry with a list of the sufferers
from smallpox, especially all
those residing in the “east side
of the county.” We are very
sorry that these victims are s<
hidden away in the mountain
fastnesses of tue blue Oohuttas
that our people so far have been
unable to discover them. We
agree with the editor of the Ar
gus that we have no automobile
m this county, but we have its
“smell” represented in the per
son of the Skunk or polecat,
This little animal resides in the
east Bide of Murray, and possibly
bis “smell” box has been mis¬
taken for the smallpox.
If Wlutfield really has a case
of genuine smallpox, und we have
no reason to doubt the learned
opinion of her expert physician,
she as well us the victim lias our
sincerest sympathy; but we fail
to see why Murray should be
blamed for it in the absence of
any proof whatever tuat this
case was infected from this
county.
Now, to be perfectly frank,
more than four months ago, about
twenty-five cases of what our
doctors call chicken pox broke out
down in Bull Fen district. That
is, the first broke out then. The
dread plague(?) has not extend
ed more than two miles from the
location of the first case, and all
aro well now. This in the ab
sence of any quarantine regula
tions, or even medical treatment.
One of the victims worked at a
saw mill during the entire time
he was sick.
If she is afraid of our “much
infected” territory, Dalton
might do well to get the county
authorities to establish a quar
at.tine line against Murray at the
river, and thus complete and
maintain, so long as it may suit
her, the Chinese Wall which is
u .ready begun by the L. <fe N,,
our only railroad. There would
be no great objection raised on
this side the Oonnasauga.
Respectfully,
W, W. Sampler.
THIS OLD SINFUL BODY.
BY S. I. CARTER
1 have heard this for many
years, from pulpit and pew.
This has been preached so
much that people really think it
is scripture, Great many script
ures are misquoted and miscon
strued and this word sinful body
has been misquoted and miseou
strued.
The word, sinful body is not
found in the Bible. If the body
has done as many bad things as
people say it has, it is a pity
that we have one.
People charge this old body
with many fins. Some schools
have thought th»t the body was
the plague spot of sin and thought
it ought to Ire badly treated; be
cause it was sinful. Many of
modern times seem to teach this
or something similar. The body
is not really the seat of sin but
only the vehicle by which the
soul carries out its purposes.
In Mark 7:21, 22, Jeans
IJS to understand that the heart
is the seat of sin.
Dr. Boyce in hia Theology,
says: There is nothing in
ter that is corrupting, and noth¬
ing in the lower nature which
itself begets sin in an
soul. On . the contrary,
temptation may present
through the body, the actual sin
is committed by the soul
separately or m union with the
body.
I. Let us inquire what
bodies are for. Jesus
enough of the body to wear
on earth and to rise again,
ours might rise also and He
thought so much of his body He
carried it to Heaven. I think
we ought to love this old body,
seeing it shall be ours to wear in
Heaven. I think we ought to try
and get the correct idea'
why we have a body and the use
we Quglft to make of them. We
may and can abuse them but 1
think we ought to be careful and
not abuse these old bodies which
it pleased our Father to give us.
These bodies were not given us
to commit sin as many suppose.
The body without the soul would
be nothing irtore than a
lump of clay, but it takes soul
and body to complete the man.
Wo may have a two-fold
but there is only one man and
one character. This body is
mortal and must die, in fact we
die as a consequence of Adam’s
sin and infants die just as same
as adults, because of Adam's sin.
We die eternally for personal
sins.
In Rom 12:1. We are ex hoi t
ed to present our bodies a sacra
fice to God as our reasonable
service. We see then, that God
wants our bodies and He can use
them; so we begin to see that
we are to honor God with them
in place of serving sin and the
devil.
Paul says, let not sin reign in
our mortal bodies, that we should
not obey it in the lusts thereof,
In J Cor. 6: 18 20. Paul tells us
that the body is for the Lord and
not for fornication and for sinful
purposes.
Every sin a man iloeth is with¬
out the body, Ver. 18.
In Ver. 19, we are told that
our bodies for God to dwell in.
What a high and Holy purpose.
That God would do them so great
an honor as to come and dwell in
these bodies. Dwelt in one
while here and comes second
time to dwell in one, again.
In Ver 20 we are taught, what
to do with them in plain terms
We cant be mistaken about this.
Glorify in our bodies just the
sitne as our spirits. What are
vou talking about Paul? I
thought you said back yonder in
Rom. 7th eh, that you served the
law of sin with your old sinful
body and now asking us to glori¬
fy God in our bodies. You must
have lost your mind and run in¬
to wild fanaticism. You come
now and say. that every sin a
man doelh is without the body,
and back yonder, I heard you say
Oh wretched man that I am,
who shall deliver me from the
body of this death? What do
you want to get away from
body for, Paul? when you told us
that we must serve God with it
and gloryfy God with it, and
present it to him as a living sac
rafice.
Our bodies belong to God just
as truly as our souls, Ye are
bought with a price and Peter
gives us what the price was
was paid. These bodies belong
to God and He has a
right to use them at any
and in any way. The devil
no right to them if we have been
and has no legal claim
THE MURRAY NEWS FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1909.
upon them. Our bodies are not
really our own. We belong to
God and we have no right to use
our bodies in any way except we
have God’s glory in view.
Since Jesus paid for them He
owns them and has a right to use
them only to His glory and if we
use these bodies in any other
way than God has commanded,
we violate God’s law.
I have no more right to use my
own body than I have to use an
others horse, if I do not use it in
God’s way arid according to His
word. So we have no right to
lend it out to the devil and let
him use it. If any man defile
(he temple of God, him will God
destroy.
It takes bodies to carry on
God’s business, If we serve God
only, with good wishes and
good desires and good resolutions
ami with the mind, our services
will not amount to much. 0hr
of the great troubles of to <1 ,y is.
we are trying to run Uod-s busi¬
ness by serving Iiirn with good
wishes and with our spirit and
let our bodies stay at bom
run our business*}.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local treatment, as the can¬
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf¬
ness is caused bv an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of
thr Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is snflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closeu, Deafness is the result,
and unless the intlamation can
lie taken out and this tube re¬
stored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forev¬
er; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, winch is noth¬
ing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of Deafness
