FRIDAY, NOV. 22nd
Rev. G. S. Tumlin Issues Sermon
for Publication While Churches
Ave Closed Because of Flu
We print below a sermon by Rev.
¢ S. Tumlin, formerly pastor of Ma
rietta Baptist Church. This was
p;rinted in Amarillo (Texas) Daily
News during the time the churches
were closed on account of the influ
erza:
Text: Ps. 20;2. “The Lord Sends the
Help from the Sanctuary.”
Theme: “The Blessings that come to
us from the Lord’s house.”
This subject is suggested b-" the
fact that for a few weeks we have
peen precluded from the privilege of
holding our usual services. This ex
perience will likely not come to us
more than once in a life time from
the cause that now prevails. While
to the devout christian this is a seri
ous loss, I hope it may benefit some
bv causing them to see what a dreary
world this would be without no Lord’s
day worship. No thoughtful, sensible
man would care to rear his family
where they were deprived of this pri
vilege for a long time. I would be
glad if the reader of this sermon
would take the time to read the 84
and 122 Psalms. Hear what the
Psalmist says: “How amiable are the
tabernacles, O Lord of hosts! My
coul longeth yea even fainteth for
the courts of the Lord. Blessed are
they that dwell in thy house. For a
day in thy courts is better than a
thousand. I would rather be a door
keeper in the house of my God, than
to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
I was glad when they said unto me,
let us go up unto the house of the
Lord.” This experience should not
pe peculiar to David, or other Old
Testament saints. The Jewish priests
were busy slaying and offering animal
sacrifices. Th eserman element in
worship, did not occupv the promin
ent place then as it does now. While
David was skillful with his harp, mus
i has now made an advance over that
day. Instead of one tabernacle or
temple we have churches scattered all
over the land. Instead of only frag
ments of the Old Testament we have
a complete Bible. We can look back
on the fulfillment of the prophecy as
to Christ’s eoming and crucifixion.
Then came the Holy Spirit to bear
witness of the Messiah. This Spirit
shall be with us until the end of time.
With joy we can study the trium
phant spread of the Gospel for nine
teen hundred years. The word of the
Lord has been tried and stood the
test. The kingdom at first like a
¢rain of mustard seed, has spread to
the ends of the earth. O what a
glorious day in which to live; what
marvelous opportunities we have for
spiritual as well as material develop
ment. Since the doors of our church
es have been closed, ought we not to
value religious worship more than
ever. A poet has said: ‘“Blsesings
brighten as they take their flight.”
Even our dear Savior found it neces
sar{ to leave the world before he
could be fully appreciated. Adam,
while innocent in Eden, could not ap
preciate the blessing of companion
ship with God. When he lost it, then
he appreciated it. The young man
in perfect health who has never ex
perienced an ache, or a pain has no
conception what a priceless blessing
health is. The invalid however
knows all about its value. The moth
er who has borne to the grave her
little darling realizes the depth of her
affection for it now, as she could not
while it lived. God grant that with
our present experience, which is not
confined to Amarillo our people may
become hungry for the sanctuary. It
is a very sad situation for a man’s
work to be so exacting, that he has
no Sabbath day. Our benevolent
Creator saw and knew what we need
ed hence he reserved the seventh day
for rest and worship. Since our gov
ernment exercises the prerogrative of
fixing prices on commodities, and
turning the clock to suit new condi
tions, why could it not also place
more sanctity on the Sabbath as to
secular labor? Are we not living
too fast? The wheels of machinery
run night and day, Sunday as well as
other days. One of the dark spots
on our so-called Christian nation is
this disregard of the Sabbath. Every
encroachment on the Lord’s day is a
blow against our reilgion. We great
lv need the nourishment that comes
from the sanctuary. Hence Paul
said, “Not forsaking the assembling
of yourselves together as the custom
of same is.” As far back as my mem
ory reaches I was going with my pa
rents to church. My father being a
minister, I sat with him in the pulpit
when I was ten years of age. With
the attention now given to the Sab
bath school and young people’s organ
izations, our children have splendid
opportunity to learn the word.of the
Lord. These impressions will be
lasting, just like the imprint of feet
on the cement walk before it is dry
and hardened. Preaching is God’s
plan of evangelizing. To be benefit
ted the man must hear the prpclama-l
tion. “Faith cometh by hearing.” If
vou will look back and think when
first conviction came to you as a sin
ner, who needed salvation, very likely
that was in the sanctuary under the
vreaching of the word. The Holy
Spirit drove the truth home to the
heart. Then you ask “what must I
do to be saved.” Soon after that
came conversion, or a full surrender |
to the Lord. )
“0 happy day that fixed my choice,
O thee my Savior and my God,
Well may this glowing heart rejoice
And tell its rapture all abroad.”
Then the clouds of doubt. rolled
awav. At the cross you lost your
burden of sin.
In the sanctuary we have been ad
monished, instructed, reproved. Of
ten difficulties have been removed as
we heard the Word expounded: “for
the entrance of thy word giveth light
“It is a lamp to our feet.” There
we have been comforted. It is not
the scientific lecture that helps the
2ching heart but the precious oint
ment of the Gospel. He who brought
cheer to Mary and Martha when their
brother died, is also near enough to
Us to bind our broken and bleeding
hearts, Just now when many thou
sands have fallen on the battle field,
and a host of others from the epidem
ic that is sweeping over the land, how
badly do we need some one to speak
words of peace to us. We may offer
sympathetic words, but what we say
1S very insignificant compared with
the sustaining grace that comes from
on high. The church is to carry this
message. What an honor and respon
sibility to be an ambassador for the
Lord. Let us not forget the promise
“that where two or three are gather
ed together in my name, there I am
in their midst. “And in his presence
is fullness of joy, and at his right
hand are pleasures ever more.” Let
us then sing with unision:
“I love thy kingdom Lord,
The house of thine abode,
The church our blessed Redeemer
saved, ¢
With His own precious blood.”
If brotherly love abounds, the rich
and the poor can meet together, and
heartily - enjoy christian fellowship.
Neither race nor political prejudice,
nor business competition should mar
this fellowship: “Behold how good
and how pleasant it is for brethren to
dwell together in unity. Enter into
his gates with thanksgiving, and in
to his courts with praise.” If our
Lorll loved his church and gave him
self for it, should we not love it fer
vently? Reverence and prayer be
cometh the house of God. Let not
the spirit of levity choke out the
word. As the mother gives nourish
ment to the young child that it may
grow, so the church is as a mother to
her converts. Attentive and prayer
ful hearers can greatly help the min
ister. Then he realizes that the seed
has fallen on good ground. Many
memories and associations endear the
sanctuary to us. We should not for
get our obligations to it. There are
places where any one would have to
gO, perhaps, walk many miles to hear
the Word preached. Yet in our city
there are many hundreds in easy!
reach of a dozen churches, who never
hear a sermon. When the death an
gel comes, then the minister is sent
for. If the dead man’s life has been
out of harmony with God, he has an
unpleasant task to speak on such an
occasion. If we need the message
from the church in time of bereave
ment, do not slight it while you have
opportunity for service. Let us em
bibe the spirit of Watt’§ hymn:
“How did my heart rejoice to hear,
My friends devoutly say,
In Zion let us all appear,
And keep the solemn day.
“My soul shall pray for Zion still,
While life or breath remains,
Here my best friends, my kindred
dwells, .
Here God, my Savior, reigns.”
KENNESAW GHAPTER
U.D.C. HOLDS MEETING
’ The meeting of Kennesaw Chapter
at the home of Mrs. Frank Hardeman
last Tuesday was full of interest and
very well attended. Every officer but
one was present and all gave good
reports of work done. One feature
of the chapter’s work is the writing
of sympathetic letters to the parents
of soldiers who are brought for bur
ial in the National Cemetery here.
The coresponding secretary has re
cently written one to the parents in
Greece of a young foreign-born sol
dier in Uncle Sam’s Army. The re
plies to these letters show how much
they are appreciated.
The chapter has also compiled a
list of the lineal descendants of Con
federate soldiers who trace through
Kennesaw chapter and it represents
patriots in almost every branch of the
service who dre carrying on the
ideals and service of their forefath
ers. In this connection it was decid
ed to arrange a service flag for the
chapter even though the war is over.
It will be interesting to preserve it
later in the Georgia room at the Rich
mond Confederate Museum.
The matter of first appeal to the
hearts of the Daughters at present is
the adoption of two war orphans of
France which the chapter has obli
gated itself to do. The quarterly al
lowance has already been sent and
this very definite work for suffering
humanity “over there” is gladly un
dertaken and will be conscientiously
carried out.
A suggestion is made to the Daugh
ters to send Christmas cards to these
two children. Little Charles lives in
the western part of France, far from
the battlefields. He is but five yearsl
old. Madeleine is eleven and lives
near Paris. She helps with the work
of the house while her mother is earn
ing a living. Both children were left
fatherless by the terrible war. Here
are the addresses:
M. Marcel Ballon, (Pour Charles
Deyres), 6 Rue de Clichy, Seine, Par
is, France. Mlle. Madeleine Prive,
9 Rue de 'Eglise, Meudon, Seine et
Qise, France.
The chapter with regret, accepted
the resignation of Mrs. J. J. Daniell,
as recording secretary, after four
yeas of active service, and Mrs.
Dunklin Reynolds was elected to fill
her unexpired term of office.
Those who read of the chapter’s
various lines of patriotic work in
last week’s paper will agree that Ken
nesaw chapter is not dead yet, but is
really doing more than ever before.
The children’s chapter is a splendid
off-shoot of the parent chapter and is
doing some very efficient war work.
A pleaasnt innovation was intro
duced by the hostess when delicious
refreshments were brought in. It
reminded all present of those good
days “befo’ de war’’ when sugar was
plentiful and pound cake was not an
unthinkable extravagance. Truly,
this “peace” meeting was a great
success.

MR. W. S. N. NEAL IMPROVING
His many friends will be glad to
know that Mr. W. S. N. Neal, who is
recuperating from an operztion in
the Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, is
steadily improving and hopes to be
able to be at home again soon.
COUNTY R. C. SOCIETY
The fact that glorious peace seems
assured does not close the Red Cross
work rooms, nor does it make the
obligation less for all members to
renew .their membership in the So
ciety, nor does it excuse from join
ing the Society at the Christmas Roll
Call all those who have not already
done so. |
The Red Cross has need of all the
members that can possibly spare the
necessary one dollar to become a
member.
Our boys and those of our allies
are still in the hospitals and will be
ifor many days to come, and many
'were wounded in the last days of
‘the war. These brave boys will
need surgical dressings, clean bed lin
‘ens, and clothing for many days, if
not months.
The devastated country still needs
our help, homeless and fatherless
children must be clothed and fed,
and we of the Red Cross must not
fail in help at this time. |

IT’S NOT YOUR HEART
IT’'S YOUR KIDNEYS
Kidney disease is no respecter of persons.
A majority of the ills afflicting people today
can be traced back to kidney trouble.
The kidneys are the most important organs
of the body. They are the filterers, the puri
fiers, of your blood.
Kidney disease is usually indicated by weari
ness, sleeplessness, nervousness, despondency,
backache, stomach trouble, pain in loins and
lower abdomen, gall stones, gravel, rheuma
tism, sciatica and lumbago.
All these derangements are nature’s signals
to warn you that the kidneys need help. You
