Watching for Souls.
The Christian minister should have
a clear, definite conception of what
liis work is. It is a work distinct
from the work of all other men.
Society respects and honors the man
who attends to his own business.
To care for men’s property is the
lawyer's business. To care for men’s
health is the physician’s business.
To care for men’s bodies is the mer
chant’s business. To care for men’s
souls is the preacher’s business.
Jesus concentrated his attention and
efforts upon this supreme thing. His
example is eloquent and every Chris
tian minister should endeavor to fol
it. “This one thing I do,” is his
motto. Singleness of aim will keep
him from frittering away his ener
gies on mere trifles. Os course, he
must have his recreations. The bow
must be unstrung, if its elasticity be
preserved. But. let him not forget
that he is Christ’s representative and
Christ yearns and watches for souls.
If the preacher be truly called of
(God. he has the pastor's ear and is
'hearing the command: "Feed my
lambs. Feed my sheep." Ravening
| wolves are seeking to devour. Many
of the fl »ck are weak and needy.
They need loving care lest they be
led astray. The air is full of poison
ous isms that deceive and destroy.
There is no substitute for the si triple
gospel of Christ. It alone can sat
isfy the deepest needs of the soul.
Divine grace is the panacea for all
misery. It assures radiance from
above in the midst of the darkest of
earthly surroundings. Let us watch
for souls as having to give account.
The rewards are attractive and
ample. Souls saved! That is enough.
Souls saved —society, the state,
the world blessed and the name of
the Redeemer glorified. The reward
is ample. Partis enjoyed, here and
now. But the larger part is enjoyed
in the life to come when we shall
meet and greet those who shall say
that “from thy mouth, we heard of
Jesus’ love, and thine the hand that
led us to his feet.”

forehead fully twenty feet from the
track. He was unconscious for three
hours, and twenty-four hours after
the accident pneumonia developed.

is being held in Atlanta this week
and is the biggest affair of its kind
ever seen in Atlanta.
The party of Western Union Tele
-1 egraph officials which is touring the
south was royally entertained in
Savannah the first of the week.
The urgent need of a chamber of
' commerce is strongly felt by the bus
i iness men of Savannah and an organ
ization will probably be the result.
Two new rural mail delivery routes
have been ordered to go into effect
October 1 from the Adairsville office,
making four to go out from there.
Survivors of Colonel Dan McCook's
brigade, about 150 strong, from Illi
nois, Indiana and Ohio, spent several
days this week at the old battlefields 1
around Marietta.
By the end of the week Atlanta
will have a great golden time-ball,
which will drop from a tall pole ex
actly at noon, eastern time. It will
be located on top of the Empire
Building.
The gratitude and appreciation of
the old Confederate veterans for the
provision made for them in the erec
tion of the Home in Atlanta was ex
pressed in a recent letter to the Jour
nal from “One of the Old Boys.”
Superintendents and assistants of
the Metropolitan Insurance Com
pany held a session in Macon recently
to consider matters of importance in
connection with the work of the com
pany. There were reprentatives from
Atlanta. Augusta, Savannah, Macon
and other points in the state.
The opening of the soldiers’ home
in Atlanta Wednesday was accotn-'
panied by appropriate exercises.
Addresses were made by Governor

John H. Martin.
Preparations are going forward for |
the county fair at Bradley, October
1, 2 and 3. Governor Candler will
address the crowd on the second day
and Mr. Terrell on the third. The
exhibit will be carried to Macon
during the farmers’ congress.
Adairsville is on a building boom
and all the carpenters and brick
layers in the vicinity are busy. The
largest block of business houses ever
erected in the town is now near
ing completion. The buildings are
modern pressed brick with marble
trimmings.
A great educational mass meeting
was held in Waycross Sunday, under
the auspices of the Morris Brown
college, in the A. M. E. church and
more than 1.000 people heard the ad
dresses of both whites and blacks.
Negro educatian was the object of
the meeting and much good to both
races will undoubtedly be the result.
The Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph Company has been grant

bly. Gov. Candler will urge the pas
