GEORGIA BAPTIST CONVENTION
CLOSED BEST SESSION IK BISTORT
Was Largely Attended, and Prom the Beginning Until Close
the Delegates Were Intense in Their Work---There Were
Many Things That Made the Convention Epochal-- Dr. M.
Ashby Jones, of Augusta, to Make Opening Address at
Rome Convention Next Year.
Thf» Georgia Baptist convention closed
its 1914 session Thursday afternoon
after one of the most intersting and
helpful meetings in its history* The
session was largely attended, and from
the beginning to the close the delegates
hung on In deadly earnest. There were
many things that made the convention
epochal.
Carrollton, the convention city, is lo
cated near the Alabama line a ltttle
south west of Atlanta. It is the coun
ty seat of Carroll county and is named
for Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, one
of the signers of Declaration of Inde
pendence.
It is a beautiful city of four thousand
people. Its business section is a credit
to the enterprise and thrift of the peo
ple. The residences are all more are
less attractive, and those of recent date
are built on the bungalow Btyle. All
denominations were ready to give to the
Baptist hosts the hand of fellowship and
helpfulness. Seldom has anything like
the generous hospitality on the part of
all the people been equaled. Not from
the mouth of any one could you hea/r the
slightest suggestion of hard times. Every
delegate seined to think that his was
the best assignment, and hosts and hos
tesses theirs the most worthy delegates.
The delegates will long remember Car
rallton.
Organized Tuesday.
The convention was organized Tues
day morning by electing Dr. John Mell,
of Athens, as president of the body.
Messrs. Duggan and Norman were elect
ed vice-presidents; Rev. B. D. Ragsdale
and M. A. Bennett were made secre
taries. These men have thus been hon
ored by the convention for many years,
yarn! are experts in keeping up with the
f work as it is dispatched.
The first day of the convention there
seemed to be nothing of unusual inter
est. At the evening hour Rev. J. L.
Cutts, of Canton, preached the intro
ductory sermon to more than a thousand
people gathered in the handsome new
Tabernacle church. The sermon show
ed great study and care in preparation,
and cleared the way for some of the
difficult problems that were to follow.
The session got down to business early
Wednesday morning and the delegates
hardly found time for lunch from 9 a.
m. till 10 p. m. Bessie Tift College was
the center around which waged a fierce
debate and parlimentary battle. The
principal speakers were Prs. White and
Daniel, of Atlanta; Dr. M. Ashby Jones,
of Augusta; Hon. O. H. Bloodworth, of
Forsyth; Rev. A. J. Moncrief, of Barnes
ville; Rev. G. A. Nunnally, of Atlanta,
and others too numerous to mention.
$90,000.00 Needed.
It was decided to engage in a cam
paign at once to relieve the institution
of all financial strain. The amount need
ed is $90,000.00, but the authorites of
the school will attempt to raise only that
amount needed for the present moment.
It is believed that $25/000.00 will be all

ASBURY BARACA CLASS
MEETS AT THE CHURCH
The Asbury Baraca class of nearly
one hundred members meets every
Sunday morning at 9:45 o’clock at the
Asbury Methodist church, 1016, D’An
rtiegnac street.
The subject for today’s lesson is:
“Jesus before Pilate” or “What will
You Do With Jesus?" a question that
Is up to svery man, woman and child.
Come and hear this subject discuss
ed and ndugle with God’s people. You
are cordially Invited to all services.
that is necessary for the next few
months. This will likely be raised by
large contributions from men of wealth
who can give at tills time without re
trenching in other matters.
Shorter College, of Rome, ha & with
drawn! from the Mercer System. That
does not mean that the college la no
longer under Baptist jurisdiction. The
school is a Baptist instituion and cannot
be used for any other purpose, but it
does remove it from the Baptist conven
tion's agents, and gives a wide scope
among all Baptists of the South. This
will mean that Bessie Tift will share
in a larger extent the benevolence of the
Baptists of Georgia, while Shorter will
assume a larger sphere among the
Southern States as a Baptist College of
higher learning.
President Mell.
Dr. John Mell, of Athens. >-who has
been elected president of Bessie Col
lege, in case he accepts, will carry to
the college a degree of confidence seldom
enjoyed by men engaged in such tasks.
The Baptists of the state love him, and
there Is hardly a church in the whole
of the state that will not rally to his
support. It is hoped by all that he
will accept.
Dr. C. H. S. Jackson, the retiring pres
ident of Bessie Tift College, has laid the
foundations of a great school. When
he went to the school its property was
valued at $25,000, he leaves a plant value
at $299,000. The attendance was very
small, in fact the school had but a local
reputation; but today its Influence is
felt in every’ part of the state. Dr.
Pickard, president of Mercer University,
said that Dr. Jackson’s work at Bessie
Tift was of a very high order and that
his equal as a college president was not
to be found under the stars. Dr. Jack
son’s plans for the future have not been
announced, but he will most likely take
a needed rest.
Interesting Paper.
One of the moat interesting papers at
the convention was the report of Dr. H.
R. Bernard, acting secretary of state
missions. Owing to the physical condi
tion of Dr. J. J. Bennett, who has been
sick for a year. Dr. Bernard has been
acting ert* responding secretary. His
report was printed and distributed among
the delegates. It showed just where
every cent of the people's money had
gone; and the results obtaind. It pleased
all. and many were the congratulations
showered upon the acting secretary for
the able way in which he had conduct
ed his office.
The convention will go to the city of
Rome, Ga„ next year. This met with
the approval of all.
Dr. M. Ashby Jones, pasta** of the
First Baptist church, this city, will
preach the opening sermon. This Is
quite an honor for Dr. Jones, and shows
the esteem in which he is held by the
brotherhood. The convention will meet
Tuesday after the third Sunday, Novem
ber the 116th, 1915.

Berrie Tire & Rubber Company
Thoroughly Well Equipped for
Handling Work and Supplies
for Automobiles.
The Berrie Tire and Rubber Com
pany. which recently opened up for
business at 643 Broad Street, has be
come recognized already as one of
the progressive firms of Augusta.
With a force of skilled workmen to
serve the, needs of their many custo
mers, they are prepar ed to do Uie very
best vulcanizing, and the trade has
been quick tor realize that the char
acter of work done by this firm Is
surpassed by none in the country, and
for this reason especially has
list of customers grown steadily day
by day until now they can boast of
having a business that any one might
well be proud of. This has all been
accomplished in a few weeks time,
due to the excellence of work and
courteous treatment of the manage
ment.
In addition to vulcanizing they carry
a large stock of tires and tubes and
are the exclusive distributors of the
Extra Ply Hood TlreH. These tires
are extra heavy with red tubes and
have one ply more fabric than any
other tire, being 3-8-inch thicker than
the majority of auto tires and is guar
anteed for 4,000 miles. They also ad
just all tires when needed.
One of the specialties of this firm is
the Ford tire, which they are selling
at very low prices. Besides, they
carry a large stock of United States
and Goodrich tires.
There is not a firm in Angueat, in Its
distinctive line of business, bettor
equipped for meeting the demands of
the trade than is this one. They have
ample space for auto owners to
drive into Inflate and change tires.
Three sets of air holes and an abun

There is nothing that skilled labor
can do In the way of vulcanizing and
repairing auto and motorcycle tires

How "tn Everything Give Thanks"?
Knowledge Necessary Approaching
Throne of Groce—Variant Praises
and Thanks to God Throughout the
World —Solution of Our Perplexities.
Bible tho Only Guide —Spirit of a
Sound Mind Raraly Found.
November 22.
Pastor Russell, In
New York City
Temple. W. 03rd
•Street, had for his
text tlie words,
“In everything
give thunks.”—
1 Thessalonlatis
5:18.
Reviewing brief
ly the conditions
of tho world, the
Pastor declared
that It must be
difficult for tho majority to determine
correctly tho nature of the thanks they
wookt offer to God. Three hundred
and fifty millions of humanity, our
blood relatives, are nmklnjt to destroy
each other. Ninety million Americans,
deeply Interested in them, are invited
by our Honorable President and tho
Governor* of our seven 1 htabes to ren
der thanks to the Almighty. Truly, we
have many causes for thanksgiving to
our Creator: life Itself Is a blessing;
our nation In many respects Is the most
favored, not the least of blessings be
ing our civil and religious liberties.
Surely “our lines have fallen to ns
In pleasant places” I Those who feel
no gratitude are anrel.v soured by dis
content, the fruitage of I ranee, self
ishness, sin. How nppi ale, then,
that each bow heart ami u< ad before
the Giver of every good and perfect
gift! To whatever extent tlds course
be followed heartily, without hypoc
risy, undoubtedly a blessing will re
sult, Individually and nationally.
Who May Pray?
There is a difference between thanks
giving and prayer. None have the
right or privilege of approaching the
Throne of Heavenly Grace except those
who have come into covenant rela
tionship with God. The Jews came
Into covenant relationship with God
through their Law Covenant by Divine
arrangement through Moses. Follow
ers of Jesus, who accept the Divine ar
rangement, are privileged thug to come
Into relationship with the Creator
through Him. He has opened up for
us a now and living way through the
sacrifice of His flesh.
All whom the Father has accepted
through Him, uud begotten by the Holy
Spirit, are Bcriptumlly termed sons of
God, children of God. (1 John 8:1; Ro
mans 8:17.) These are Invited to come
to their Father and to address Him
aa “Our Father which art In Heaven,”
and to Mk for the blessings which God
has provided for Hls children, accord
ing to Hls purposes and arrangements.
But none others are permitted to come
to the Throne of Grace, because not In
covenant relationship with the Savior.
Thus we see that only a limited num
ber may enjoy the privilege of prayer
®r expect answers to their prayers.
Bat, thank God, others may worship
stud bow down! Many have this privi
ly and the exercise of it U sure to
bring a blessing. Whoever has n
thankful heart which takes delight In
offering worship to God will surely be
strengthened hi righteousness.
GMng Thanks For War.
Vary evidently the majority of man
kind have an Insufficiency of knowl
edge of God. of the lllble and of the
IM-rlne Plan therein set forth, to thank
God for the present state of war. But
to the Church, wlioec eyes of under
standing have been opened, 8t Paul
writes, “In everything give thanks.”
Ripe Chrtatlans have learned to
thank God for life's adversities, con
vinced that the direct calamity may be
overruled for good to Ills people and
glory to Hls name. But only advanc
ed Christians can give thanks tor trials
and testings. HimMnrly In respect to
the great European war now In prog
resa, only the well-instructed of God’s
people may understand the Divine ar
rangements so thoroughly as to be
able to give thanks respecting the war
—able to exercise faith that the out
come will mean blessings of instruction
sad preparetlon for future hiessinga.
If the Scriptures did not foretell this
ttme of world wide “distress of na
ttoajg” we might not know that God
had foreseen It and bad provided for
Its resits Bat the sain* Bible that
foretells the war tells of Its results,
saying, "When the Judgments of the
Lord are abroad in the earth, the In
habitants of the world will lesro right
oneness.” Moreover, It tells that the
war Is merely the outgrowth of human
selflshnesa, Ignorance, aufierstHlon and
false doctrine, and assures us that al
though It will lead on to revolution,
anarchy and the otter wreck of the
present civilisation, nevertheless God
Is prepared for the emergency.
The hour having cotnc for Messiah
to take control, He will stand forth and
exclaim to the raging elements of the
restless human sen, "Pence! He still.”
And there will be n great calm.
Those who see the war from this
viewpoint may Indead give thanks, re
