1. The Behavior of Martha and Msry
In Che Days of Sunshine. (Luke 10:38-

Eh this picture we see Martha, en
gaged In preparing a meal tor Jesus.
In her effort to make the best prepara
tte# tor her honored guest, she became
distracted She not only was cum-
Bsred with much serving but she found
ftralt with Mary for not helping her.
•he even censured the Lord for per
mit tin* such neglect. Martha has had
Nr followers In alt ages. Every church
.knows them. The busy, troubled and
:C*SSJ' women who are engaged In ssre-

word. She had taken her turn In the

11. nary and Martha ini the Day of
Areal Sorrow. (John 11
■The neat scene which occupies our
attendee is the occasion of the resui
rocttoc of Lazarus. In the time of the
sickness of Lazarus, these slaters had
sent tot Jesus Jesus loved the mem-
Ben c i this household, and yet. strange
to say. He delayed His going unto
them, Martha met Him with rebuke,
saying that If He hftd been there her
Brother bad not died. This carried
with it the censure for His delay un
der snch trying circumstances. This
fUl&.of Martha called forth some mar
' votous teachings on the resurrection.
After this Interview with Martha, she
came to Mary with the message of a
call from Jesus Mary was composed
and remained in the house until called
for. SJe Immediately responded to
this call and used the Identical words
of Martha, but instead of rebuking
her. He mingled His tears of sympathy
with hers of sorrow. The reason she
had such composure In this dark hour
Lwta that she had patiently sat at His
Sjset and listened to His word so that
; 4 a understood the meaning of the
S-wßedy. The difference then in the
Behavior of these two women In this
lark hour was doubtless due to the
tort that in the jays of sunshine Mary
Ntf entered fully into fellowship with
the Lord and that M.irtha. had lost this
grace through her fretfulness.

Sermonette.
By F, H. Tallant,
Subject:—'‘Separate.”
Text: Matt. 10:34. Think not
that I came to send peace on
earth. I came not to aend peace
but a sword.
A sword is a cutting imple
ment. A sword is a divider, A
sword is a separator.
First we must have a cutting
asunder, a separation, a division.
Then cornea peace, rest, union,
quietitude, fellowship, joy and
progress. Asa farmer, if you
are not successful, cut loose or
separate from yonr present meth
ods and be directed by common
sense. Asa mechanic, lawyer,
teacher, doctor, or editor, if you
make a success you must daily
separate yourself from errors
and ignorance and be transform
ed to light. Why should a farm
er go around humped under a
load of ignorance all his life? Ex
ercise your brain. Whyjbe a me
chanic ten years to get intelli
gence enough to construct a
chicken coop? Why should a law
yer take nis seat under a dilpi
dated shingle and read novels
and talk politics and lose out out
on prudence and jurisprudence?
Wny should a doctor court as
epidemic and use a multiplicity of
words? Why not cure one case
and get a dozen more?
As to editors, they are so full
of blunders and such necessary
evils, if I could I would, just
bunch them and turn them all
over to the Lord at once.
Is all well with you? Is there
no danger, approaching? The
sword sent by Christ Jesus is our
sword. It separates us from our
evils. Then it is in our power
to üße it to separate sin from
righteousness, good from evil,
Peter and Andrew were fish
ing; the sword of separation had
arrived on earth; they heard a
yoice saying. Follow roe. They
followed.
Unregenerate: Has the sword
of the spirit never said to you,
Follow me? James and John were
at work and the request to them
was, “follow me,” The sword,
the Word, separated them from
their former calling.
Act honest, young people.
Have you not heard the call cf
the still “small voice?”
Matthew was not in a revival
but busily engaged in a “custom
house.” The sword that was
sent to divide the world smote
him and separated him from his
former assoeiates, customs, hab
its. and he followed.
Have you, reader, never been
called? Have you never been to
the cross fence that separates
darkness from light, ignorance
from knowledge, sin from holi
ness? Have you never been in
calling distance of heaven? It
not, where have you been?
You may deny it, but if you
have arrived at the strge of ac
countabilitp you have felt the
impress of the sword-the spirit
of ftruth that is to touch every
one that cometh into the world,
Saul was a persecutor, an hon
ost Jewish officer. He labored
legally under the law dispensa
tion. The sword of division smote
him as he neared damascus. He
was separated from his law ser
vice and put in the grace brigade
or under the covenant of grace.
Here we might dismiss the dolts,
dullards, idiots, idiosyncrasy and
most of the dupes, and ask you
if your common sense don’t teach
you better than to aet a fool and
go to hell?
<T’- somebodp says, grace!
Saved by grace! So say
I. Then accept it and shut pour
mouth. But somebody says,
faith! faith! So say I. Exercise
it and rejoice in hope. But some
body says works! works! So say
I. Put on your harness just
right and get at it. But some
body says elect! elect! So say I.
Then become an elect by being
grafted in having an incision
made in pour left aide by the
sword and a cutting from the
‘‘true vine” inserted. Christ is
the Elect. Sinner, you may want
to plead good works. AH right.
If you had a court of gorillas,
chipaneez and prairie dogs, they
could hear your pleadings and
reward you amply. You may
think it too great a sacrifice on
your part to give up all for Christ
Christ Jeaua made a cemplete
sacrifice for you and he only
wants to treat you as your moth
er did in infancy—was you,dress
you up, take care of pou, keep
yov decent Itili the Father needs
you. You may be ashamed to
acknowledge Christ. If Christ
Jeaua ia not the Lord then Jeho
vah is not the Creator and that
would make you a common ani
mal or on the gorilla descent.
Turn about, separate from evil,
yield to the sword’s division, then
live on forever.

Revs J W Gill and Hardagree
have just closed a revival at
Pleasant View.
The farmer is the most dis
couraged man we know just now
and no wonder. If he makes any
thing to put on the market he
sells for the lowest price that
said stuff ever brings, and when
he buys he pays the highest price
so the men between get the prof
it going and coming: and when
he sells the other fellow does the
weighing and when he buys the
same thing happens, and yet he
Is the one that feeds the world.
Wish we had a thousand men
like Thos E Watson. Now some
old mass back have a fit.
