IN MEMORIAM.
Nathaniel Stokely Rich was born
at Cartersville, Ga., in Bartow coun
ty, in 1876. With his father’s family,
the late Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Rich, he
came to this county when only 4
years of age. He joined the Baptist
church here in his youth. In 1900 he
married Miss Josephine Mattox. To
them were born three children, two
of whom survive, Madeline Thomason,
of Tarrant, Ala., and Mattox Rich, of
Miami, Fla.
In 1901, Mr. and Mrs. Rich moved
to Celeste, Tex., and later to Marble
City, Okla., and then to Miami, Fla.
They were away eight years but re
turned and have since been here. Mr.
Rich was an employe of the Espy-Al
len company and the J. G. Allen
Hardware company for many years.
He was an active deacon in the
First Baptist church here for the
past five years of which he was a very
faithful and devout member. He was
a useful and helpful citizen and has
been missed very much in his home,
church and community and by his
business associate.
He was a very devoted husband,
father and grandfather. Besides his
widow and two children, he is surviv
ed by four grandchildren and many
friends.
He passed away after a short illness
four and one-half months ago—Fri
day, Nov. 3, 1939.

Vegetable Laxative
Has Important Points
Most people want a laxative to do
three things: (1) act punctually,
(2) act thoroughly, (3) act gently.
Here’s one that usually fills all
three requirements when the easy
directions are followed. It’s an all
vegetable product whose principal
ingredient has medical recognition
as an “intestinal tonic-laxative.”
That’s the ingredient which en
ables BLACK - DRAUGHT to help
tone lazy bowel muscles. It is the
main reason for the satisfying re
lief from constipation that gener
ally follows next morning when |
BLACK - DRAUGHT is taken at
bedtime. The millions of packages
used are proof of its merit.

LESSON
THE CONTINUING TASK.
International Sunday School Lesson
for March 31, 1940.
GOLDEN TEXT: “Ye shall be
witnesses . . . unto the utter
must part of the earth.” Acts 1:8.
(Lesson Text: Matthew 28:16-20.)
It is peculiarly fitting that'the six
months’ series of lessons based on the
Gospel of Matthew should end with
the lesson we have this week. It is
the climatic lesson of the entire se
ries—a challenge to those who have
studied the life of Jesus to do some
thing about it—to answer the great
commission by putting the teaching
and example of Jesus to work in our
lives.
The eleven disciples (Juclas now be
ing dead) and probably about five
hundred others (as referred to by
Paul in I Corinthians 15:6) gathered
on a certain mountain in Galilee, prob
ably three or four weeks after the res
urrection, at the place and probably
at the time specified by Jesus when
he told the two Marys who were at
the tomb to tell his disciples to meet
him in Galilee.
There on the mountain-top, Jesus
gave to the waiting apostles and the
other believers gathered there their
orders as to their course of action in
the future. In the beginning he af
firmed his sovereignty. “All power is
given unto me in heaven' and in
earth.” During his ministry, he had
shown his authority over disease, de
mons, and even death itself. He had
proved his authority over the forces
of nature; he had proved his authori
ty to forgive sin and, now, after his
resurrection, he asserts the authority
which he has both in heaven and in
earth.
Then, in the words of Dr. H. C.
Moore, “The Master sketched four
features for his world-wide and age
long program. The first was enlight
enment. ‘Go ye, therefore,’ and let
your light shine in every part of the
world. The second is evangelism.
‘Make disciples of all the nations’ not
only informing every creature about
Christ but leading everybody to
Christ and to acceptance of him as
Saviour from sin to a good life here
and the life unending hereafter.
“The third is enlistment. Those who
are evangelized must be united in the
work and worship of the Lord. Hence,

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1940
the importance of ‘baptizing them in |
the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost’ . . .
“The fourth is edification. Having
informed about Christ and led to
Christ and enlisted for Christ, it is
our duty to build up in Christ. Hence,
the long and invaluable course of
training in the knowledge of Christ
and obedience to his holy will: ‘Teach
ing them to observe all things what
soever I have commanded you’.”
Then the Master gives the glorious
promise, “And lo (remember) I am
with you always, even unto the end
of the world.” The task of winning
the lost to Christ would be too great
for the average Christian, would be
well-nigh impossible, were it not for
the glorious promise that he will be
with us always, strengthening, com
forting and caring for his own.
The most astounding feature of
modern Christianity, to our mind, is
the great mass of believers who have
no active urge to personal evangelis
tic work. Churches, as units, are more
activj than ever in missionary enter
prise, which is fine and creditable, but,
of the individual membership, how
few are proclaiming Christ to those
with whom daily contact is made?
How few fully realize they are “am
bassadors on behalf of Christ” to ev
ery unsaved man and woman. Church
members, professing to believe that
eternal life rests upon acceptance of
Jesus, often neglect or are too timid
to approach even their own loved
ones! If every Christian had a burn
ing reality of this truth, would any
be content to pass unbelieving souls
daily with no effort to tell them of
the life-insuring message?
Christianity needs the individual
evangelism of every follower. Unbe
lievers and formal acceptants must
be reached and saved one by one —
the world will not be won in bulk!
Nineteen times we have a record of
the Saviour himself entering into
personal discussions with only one hu
man being for an audience. It has
been pointed out by one writer that
every soul could be saved in two years
if every professing Christian reached
and converted one unbeliever each
year. The need for individual evan
gelistic work is greater than it ever
has been and the responsibility for
unsaved millions rests on inactive
Christians.
GOODTIDINGS
By THOMAS D. LYNN.
TEXT: Blessed are the merciful:
for they shall obtain mercy. Matt. 5:7.
Jesus spoke a parable, saying,
“Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is
likened unto a certain king, which
would take account of his servants.
And when he had begun to reckon, one
was brought to him, Which owed him
ten thousand talents.
But forasmuch as he had not Co pay,
his Lord commanded him to be sold,
and his wife, and children, and pay
ment to be made.
The servant, therefore, fell down,
and worshipped him, saying, Lord,
have patience with me, and I will pay
thee all. Then the lord of that ser
vant was moved with compassion, and
loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
But the same servant went out, and
found one of his fellow-servants which
owned him an hundred pence: and he
laid hands on him, and took him by
the throat, saying, Pay me that thou
owest. And his fellow-servant fell
down at his feet, and besought him,
saying, Have patience with me, and
I will pay thee all, and he would not:
but went and cast him into prison, till
he should pay the debt.
So when his fellow-servants s&w
what was done, they were very sorry,
and came and told unto their lord all
that was done. Then his lord, after
that he had called him, said unto him,
O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee
all that debt, because thou desiredst
me: Shouldest not thou also have had
compassion on thy fellow-servant,
even as I had pity on thee.
And his lord was wroth, and deliv
ered him to the tormentors till he
should pay all that was due unto him.
So likewise shall my Heavenly Fath- ,
er do also unto you, if ye from your
hearts forgive not everyone his broth
er their trespasses. Matt. 18:23-35.
Blessed is he that considereth the
poor: the Lord will deliver him in time
of trouble. Psalms 51:1.
For if ye forgive men their tres- J
passes, your Heavenly Father will also
forgive you. But if ye forgive not
men their trespasses, neither will your
Father forgive your trespasses. Matt.,
6:14,15.
For he shall have judgment without
mercy, that hath shewed no mercy;
and mercy rejoiceth againpt judg
ment. James 2:13.
