It has been said that all laws are made in the rich man’s favor This does look reasonable in a number of cases, but the laws are made to deal with every one alike. The difference is the rich man is better prepared to take advantage of the law than the poor man is, and thru the help of crooked men bend and twißt the law to At his case in a manner that he never suffers much. It is well known that some of the greatest crimes are committed by “idle nich,” and they are nev er forced to suffer considerble for it. while on the other hand a poor man is unable to put up the money to fight his case thru sev eral courts and therefore he must suffer. But such as this will not always be co. Christ, during h>q staylon earth, often blessed the poor, and likewise condemned the rich, It seems that his greatest interest was in helping the “less fortunate” because he-said “it is easier for a camel to go thru the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.” In the great hereaf ter, the rich man cannot escape punishment for violation of God’s lavs any more than the poor can ROUTE 3.

Many have asked me to write to the dear old North Georgian. I say dear, yes, the name is dear. It was from the pages of the predicessors of the North Geor gian that I learned to read, and its editor has always been mighj y kind to the public. Let us study cause and effect. Text; the spirit is ready. Asso ciated with the text we find such expressions as: The Lord art good and ready to forgive. Be yaalso ready. Christ was ready to be offered as'a sacrifice. Be ready to every good work. Be of a ready mind. The following are hindrances to revivals, The flesh is weak, The flesh profiteth nothing. We serve with the flesh the law o sin. We purpose according tojthe flesh. Paul says: I keep under my body and bring it into subjec tion. If the individual or the church desires a revival do like Paul, bring your bodies under subjection, for the spirit is ready and able. A revival should be a proselyt ing meeting, a fish catching time, not a mackerel soaking affair. Often half the revival week is spent getting the church ready, getting the brides ready for the bridegroom, The flesh is weak. A revival should be a lamb in gathering to the flock. In many revivals it takes the shepherd half the time dehorning rams, and clipping off dirty locks, get ting the flock ready for decent appearance^ Are you churches ready for a revival? Are you church mem bers ready for a revival? Or are you waiting for the pastor to mackerel soak you? Have you purchased your oil on I bended knees at the mercy aeat? The spirit says come, and the bride shys come. Are you ready to extend the invitation? Or are you waiting for a certain time of the services to come, so vou can publicly trim your lamp and get your oil, and hop into your robe? Better keep your bodies under subjection. I appeal to your common sense. Would.you live with a wife wl.o neglected you as you neglect your church services? If the church, neglects her duty, becomes world ly minded, slovenly, lazy, serves the flesh and walks disorderly, she needfrot expect an increase in family nor respect at home or abroad. Brethren,pet us remem ber His love. He died in our stead, poor old flesh serving ras cals that we are. Why do people neglect going to church and go to worldly gath erings? Preachers often mention this subject and the answer gen erally is that the world is getting worse, This is a mistake. The world is yet humanity, it is yours truly as ever carnate. The world is ever ready to lis ten to a live gospel, preached by a live man to a live church. Such is the gospel of the incar nate Son of God. We had all rather watch goats gambol and Bkip over the mead ow and frolic on the precipice than to behold inactive sheep suffering with their own filth, not heeding their master’s call, dying of the rots in the valley ot Jehosephat. Make your own ap plication. The world had rather hear the politician than the preacher. The politician tells a lie like it was the truth, and the preacher tells the truth like it was a falsehood. NO- 2\) Most preachers study theology that is good. But few preachers study ichtyology sufficient. Sam Jones, and Spurgeon and Truett and Wyatt and Ingram and Bob Eakes and Peter studied itchthy ology under Jesus Christ. Peter was a fisherman; the Lord trans ferred him to be a man catcher The fisher must know the hab its, wants, nature, desires, taste3 ind physioiogy of the fish of dif ferent species. Preachers must study man ichthyology or the bate or net to use to catch men for Christ. The gospel plan is sufficiently ade quate to catch and hold all man ner of fish.l One preacher is lucky for cat and suckers, another for perch and minnows, another for trout and bass, , another will catch horny heads as fast as you can count, This is different spiritual gifts. lam no fisherman, but I do love the fish before and after they are caught. 1 love good fisherman. Some preachers are am phi bi ologists—they catch tadpoles, crawfish and such other things as are emphibious, or’can live in two elements. Other preachers are hibernulo gists; their catch always hiber nate, or go into winter quarters, They sleep off the time A lot of us seem to belong to the hibernating specie. The flesh is weak, but the spir it is willing, Oar bodies m jst be subdued Christ Jesus must be preached or sinners lost. Teach and preach and live the one way. Let all your sermon center on Jesus Christ, the crucified Son of God, By the goodness of God lead sinners to Him. BACON SCHOOL HOUSE.
