Announcement of the passing
of Thomas G. Davis, which oc¬
curred last week, has brought
sadness to the heart of many
of our citizens whom he had
befriended and served during
his sojourn here with us.
As a citizen, a Christian and a
good neighbor, Tom Davis did
his full duty as he saw it. Ever
ready and anxious to serve his
friends in sickness and distress,
With his faithful companion by
his side, their kindly service and
Ministrations to the aged and
helpless, the sick and those in
distress, will live forever in the
hearts of those whom they have
so cheerfully and capably served-
Mr. Davis’ heart was filled
with the milk of human kind¬
ness, and he knew the full
meaning of practical Christian¬
ity. Like our Savior, he devoted
his life to the service of the
poor, the unfortunate with
whom he came in contact. He
demonstrated his Christian spir¬
it in deeds of loving kindness
not mere words and sympathetic
platitudes.
Tom Davis’ passing is mourn¬
ed by many grateful hearts to
whom he has ministered, and his
influence will live long after his
cones have returned to dust-
We deeply sympathize with his
aged companion and children
who survive his passing. He has
truly earned his reward. Peace
to his ashes.

Jesus Christ Is The
Source Of Salvation
Salvation only through Christ.
For what purpose did Christ
come into the world? “This is
a faithful saying and worthy of
all acceptation, that Christ Je¬
sus came into the world to save
sinners.” (I Tim. 1:15).
Is there salvation through
any other name? “Neither is
there salvation in any other,
for there is no other name un¬
der heaven given whereby we
must be saved.” (Acts 4:12).
Through whom only may we
come to God? “And one medi¬
ator between God and man,
that is the man Christ Jesus,
who gave Himself a ransome
for all, to be testified in due
time.” “I will, therefore, that
men pray everywhere, lifting
up holy hands without wrath
and doubting.” (I Tim. 2:5-8).
What has Christ been made
for us, and for what purpose?
“For He hath made Him to be
sin for us, who knew no sin,
that we might be made the
righteousness of God in Him.”
(II Cor. 5:25.) .
How dependent are we on
Christ for salvation? “I am
the vine, ye are the branches:
Without me ye can do noth¬
ing.” (John 15:5.)
What three essentials for a
saviour are found in Christ?
“But unto the Son He sayeth,
Thy throne, O God, is forever
and ever.” (Heb. 1:8 )
Humanity. “When the full¬
ness of time came, God sent
forth His Son, made of a wo¬
made under the law.”
(Gal. 4:4.)
Sinlessness. “Who did no sin,
neither was guile found in His
mouth” (I Peter 2:22.)
How did Christ show from
the Scripture that the promised
Saviour of the world must be
both human and divine?
“While the Pharisees were gath¬
ered together, Jesus asked
them saying, What think ye of
Christ? Whose Son is He?
They say unto Him, The son of
David- He sayeth unto them,
How then doth David.in spirit
call Him Lord? saying The Lord
said unto my Lord, Sit thou on
my right hand, till I make thine
enemies thy footstool- If Da¬
vid then called Him Lord, how
is He his son?” (Matt- 22:41-45).
NOTE: Another has aptly
put this important truth con¬
cerning the human and the di¬
vine in Christ thus: “Divinity
needed humanity that humani¬
ty might afford a channel of
communication between God
and man ”
Man needs a power out of and
above himself to restore him to
the likeness of God. There
must be a power working from
within, a new life from above,
before man can be changed
from sin to holiness, and that
power is Christ.

tist church

Governor To Confer
With States Solons
LEGISLATIVE AGENDA BEING
ARRANGED FOR SMOOTH
PASSAGE IN JANUARY
Looking forward to a harmo¬
nious and constructive adjourn¬
ed session in January, Governor
Ellis Arnall has been planning
a series of conferences with
members of the General Assem¬
bly during the next five weeks.
In these conferences, the Gov¬
ernor and legislators are work¬
ing on the agenda for the ses¬
sion and to devise methods of
clearing up the home-rule stat¬
ute- Also, they will consider
what local bills have an emer¬
gency status and need- insist¬
ently to be passed, and other¬
wise work to prevent calendar
congestion.
The meetings are purposed to
arrange for smooth, quick pass¬
age of every proposed bill not
wholly out of harmony with the
Administration, and which can
secure Assembly approval-
Arnall and the two presiding
officers of the House and Sen¬
ate are in thorough accord as
to Georgia’s needs and what
should be done in behalf of the
State, the Governor said-
“This Administration,” assert¬
ed the Governor, “is concerned
with rendering to the people the
broadest possible public services
consistent with the financial
stability of the State- We par¬
ticularly are anxious to enlarge
services in the fields of educa¬
tion and health. By the wise
enactment of the General As¬
sembly, we are undertaking to
render expanded services to our
returning war veterans and are
moving forward in many fields
that properly should receive at¬
tention from the State.
“The January session of the
General Assembly will offer a
splendid opportunity for the
Legislature to survey the State’s
financial situation and deter¬
mine how we can provide en¬
larged services to the limit of
the State’s financial ability. I
have conferred with President
Gross of the Senate and Speaker
Harris of the House. There is
no disagreement between us as
to the needs of Georgia and
what should be done.”
