UNTO WHOM
MUCH HAS BEEN GIVEN
(Manufacturers Record)
Across the fertile fields of our
blessed land, where in peace and
sunshine we are harvesting abun¬
dant crops, no armies march,
sweeping them, as in Europe, with
a “besom of destruction” ;no reign
of terror spreads through country,
town and city of advancing hosts
with their awful carnage; no fields
are covered with dead and the dy¬
ing; no* agonizing cries of the
wounded often alone and unattend¬
ed are heard; no rivers are choked
with the bodies of the dead too
many to be numbered; no streams
run red with human blood; no
farms are devastated, and no vam¬
pires with their hell-born boonrbs
fly by night bringing to mankind a
hitherto unknown terror.
Here peace holds sway.
Against the blood-red soil of
Europe we contrast the snow-white
fields of millions of acres in cotton ;
against the ungathered crops and
the fields swept bare of horses to
move the armies and of cattle to
feed them, where old men and
women bowed with sorrows seek
to do the work of loved ones who
have been called to the studendous
struggle of slaughter, we look out
at the wide reaching grain fields
with their splendid yields, at the
Cattle upon a thousand hills, at
orchard and vineyards and groves
r yielding in abundance, and upon
towns and cities whose inhabitants
work in comfort and sleep in
peace. Instead of the bitter, re¬
lentless hatred of the nations of
Europe as they grapple at each
other’s throats, <vve have the fulness
of peace at home and we see all the
nations of the earth vieing with
each other to secure our good will
and to win our friendship.
Earth has never afforded a con¬
trast so striking on a scale so stud¬
endous between Europe’s condi¬
tions of suffering and sorrow be¬
yond any human mind to compre¬
hend or any human pen to picture
and that of America flowing with
“the milk and honey” of peace, of
freedom from war’s alarms and of
abundant crops.
And yet we fret and fume at the
petty business troubles of the hour,
“Unto whom much has been
given of him shall much be requir¬
ed.”

he suffered last Thursday night.
Mr. Jackson seemed jovial Thurs¬

with friends and seemed to be in

and hold to it, his fingers becom¬
ing numb and without any motion.
lie went home, and after eating
supper with some difficulty, the
left side of his whole body was af¬
fected and his condition is critical.
The fact that his wife has been
an invalid for eighteen or twentv
years, being confined to her bed for
many years, makes the unfortun¬
ate affair doubly sad.
Mr. Jackson has been a resident
of Gainesville for some twenty
years, coining here from Cleveland,
and lias been one of Gainesville’s
hard working, quiet, straight in
dealing and esteemed citizens.

QLEV ELAND, GEORi‘i’ 001‘. 2, 1914..
Baptizing in Jennings Creek.
Sunday morning, September
27th, while the sun shone warm
and the birds perched upon the
branches of the trees chirped their
sweet lullabys upon the banks
of the stream (Jennings creek), a
large concourse of neatly attired
people assembled to t witness the
solemn rite of baptism administer¬
ed to four young lady accessories to
the church at Tesnatee, Those
whose duty it had been to select, a
place did exceedingly, well, for
nowhere could a better place been
found on the creek, for a body of
level land of several acres in grass,
which had been pastured during
the season, afforded abundant room
for the vehicles, and the hillside
adjoining, which was covered with
trees, gave abundant shade for the
horses and mules while services
were being conducted.
The water was rather low owing
to the drouth of the season and it
was necessary to construct a tem¬
porary dam to give water of the
required depth, upon the calm sur¬
face of which jlcnved peacefully
the fallen leaves of variegated
colors, adding fasination to the
scene. The door of the chttrch
was opened at the water’s edge and
candidates were invited in, follow¬
ed by singing which, wafted upon
the still, clear air of the morning,
resounded between the hills and in
woods in solemn and weird notes
from a multitude of throats seem¬
ingly doubled as the voices in har¬
monious sounds reverberated
throughout the little valley.
the close of the baptismal services,
conducted by Rev. James M. Nix,
the people withdrew to the church
i here an excelled sermon was
livered in conclusion 'of 111 e^ day’s
religions services.
