of the Haptlat churches The meetings
bring togther a number of preachers,
deacons and laymen. The topics are
not always of special interest to the

THANKSGIVING WAS WELL
OBSERVED IN AUGUSTA
CHURCHES
Thanksgiving haa come and gone.
It was appropriately observed by a
number of churches, among them the
Lutheran churches, at St. Matthew's
the Church of the Good Shepherd and
St. Paul's. The Pastors' association
had a union service at the First Pres
byterian church and the Second Bap
tist ehurch had a thank offering serv
ice.
The above service a were all very In
teresting and well attended. ' The
service at the Second Baptist church
was held on Wednesday evening at
7:48 o'clock and was a unique affair.
The pastor, Rev. O. P. Gilbert, an
nounced on Monday that all who came
to the meeting would be expected to
bring an offering for the poor, gro
eerie* preferred At the service It
was estimated that the members of
the church had contributed about till
to S4O In groceries, etr. The goods
Were separated Into bundles and de
livered on Thursday morning as a
free-will offering to the poor of the
ehurch. It is but fair to aav that oth
ers than members of the church were
remembered.
Those who took part In the meeting
will long remember the occasion as an
inspiration in the art of helpfulness

/HE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. r
NORTH GA. METHODIST CONFERENCE
AND STATE BAPTIST CONVENTION
Rev. 0. P. Gilbert Says is Reminded That There is Not So
Much Difference in What We Believe and Not a Whit’s Dif
ference in the Ultimate End to Be Obtained---Still Far
Apart in Some of Minor Dobtrines.
(By Oft P. Gilbert.)
As a child in the mountains of North
Alabama my earliest recollections take
me beck to sect irian controversy. It
; wax at a time when the two gVeat de-
I nominations of the South were trying to
catch and to hold the mountain people.
JAt Units the debates became bo hot
th<t blows were pulsed and friendships
«pvered never to be renewed. Often
th** preacheiH ioat all sense of love and
respect and things were said and done
that only a merciful Ood can forgive,
parents were Baptists, but partook
j Mile (,f the cup of dispute or jealousy.
Naturally they transmitted to me in a
, Jl "' KlJrt: at least, the spirit of religious
i toleration, if nothing else. But for a
b>n* lime I was more or less suspicious
jof other denominations. After a num
: bc*r of years spent in school, where
’ one meets young men from a,l sects;
and many more years spent in neighbor
ly touch with people who represent al
mont every phase of Christian belief, I
have come to cheerish as one of Heav
en’s best gilts the spirit of fraternal
I helpfulness.
Different Opinions.
The parsing of the North Georgia Con
ference. the State Baptist Convention,
arid the present session of the South
Georgia Conference reminds me that
there is not so much difference in what
we believe and not a whit’s difference
in the ultimate end to be obtained. In
some of the minor doctrines of the
church we are yet far apart with little
hope of getting together, and who wlii
say that it is riot best to remain apart;
1 but we are no longer Jealously hawking
at one another and invading the other's
pasture. At heart Jesus Christ is Lord
of both demoninations, and so long as he
is king our differences will amount to
little or nothing. What we need most
is some plan by which we 'can combine
our forces, and with the weaker de
nominations in the state, wage relentless
war on evil.
It is pleasant to be in one of these
great nnnuil gatherings, where preach
ers and laymen alike have equal chances
to express themselves, to hear read from
a sister city the fraternal greetings of
the other wing of the Lord's hosts. These
greetings are not simply an expression
*>f courtesy; they represent a pvayerful
selection >of verse and the sincere good
will of both bodies.
Important.
If the churches of America have fail
< d, it is not due to a variety of religious
belief. It is Just as important to have
churches representing the different an
gles of mental approach to God as it Is
to have n variety of flowers. No one,
If it were possible, would gather all the
roses in the garden and roll them lip
Into one. Such a rose would exist at
the expense of all the other roses and
would add nothing to the rose kingdom.
The expressions to which I have referr
ed do not imply a desire on the part of
either church for so-called union, but
they indicate the change that has taken
place within the last twenty-five years.
They point, too. to a spirit of bigness in
heart and mind similar to that of the
Master himself, and suggest at least the
PASTORS ASSOCIATION TO
HAVE A CALLED MEET
ING MONDAY
The Pastor's Association will have
a called meeting tomorrow at 12
o'clock. The meeting, It is said, will
l>e a very important one. Suitable
resolutions will be adopted on the de
parture of three of the most faithful
members of the association to other
parts of the state. The ministers are
Rev. A. D. Echols, who left for Rome
Friday ; Rev. .T. O. Brand and Rev. C.
M. Verdel who are yet in the city.
There ere other matters to come
before the meeting in which all the
Christian people of the community
are Interested. It is not customary
for the association to publish Its
actions after the meetings save such
news as the body authorizes for pub
licity. Hence it is not possible*to say
In advance just what the pastors will
discuss, but we are assured that they
will take part in a very interesting
movement now on. That they will be
on the side of good morals and good
government goes without saying. All
members are urged to be on time.
REV. DR. DU BOSE AND
HIS ATLANTA CHURCH
Rev. H. M. Bußose, P.D., pastor of
the First Methodist church of At
lanta, one of the strongest churches in
Southern Methodism, has had a clash
with his ehurch. The Atlanta reports
would have uA believe that it is very
serious. We doubt that.
Dr. Du Bose is a hard fighter and
his war on looker clubs and vice in
the Capital City has been fierce and
continued. But he is a man of great
learning and wisdom and It Is hardly
likely that a seism of serious pro
portions will follow the dropping of a
few leading laymen from his official
household.
This loads us to recall the pastorate
of Dr. Du Bose In Augusta Just a few
years ago. While here he was the
leader among the Pastors' association.
While he did not have, all the time,
the support of all the preachers, he
did have most of It, and many a day
did he make himself felt among law
breakers and cheap politicians. His
church here, St. John's Methodist,
supported him. it is said, tn the war
he waged against an open town.
Whatever the breach In the Atlanta
church. It is felt here that Dr. Dußose
will be able to manage It. His friends
'here. :ind they are many, regret that
the distinguished gentlemen referred
to In the Atlanta papers hats seen fit
to oppose him.
“GOOD CITIZENSHIP" MEET
AT CURTIS IS CALLED OFF
There was a to be a meeting on “Good
Clttaensblp" at Curtis church this aft
ernoon at 4 but after talking it over
with a number of elttaens Interested In
tin matter the meeting was postponed
till a later day.
The citizens ave very hopeful of mak
ing August a better city. There Is a
feeling, that la becoming more and
more tinlversil sense, that Augusta has
sacrificed her most precious assets to
the god of business This Impression Is
found among men who make no profes
sion of Christianity. They are men
who are looking at matters from the
angle of common sense, and It Is but a
question of time before they win speak.
The meeting will take place at a later
date after alt plans are perfected.
possibility of a federation by which the
men of the next half century will fa 1
on the hosts of the Philistines and smite
them flip and thigh.
The times in which we live demand
that we shall build a platform low
enough for the largest of us; the plat
form to- be used for the furtherance of
the Christian religion. It may be that
there Is enough bigotry left in some of
us to kindle again a few martyr fires
but such flames would enable us to see
far ahead; and it would be refreshing to
see once more a man or a few men dy
ing for idc*als.
Opinions Differ.
It too often happens that men of the
same church, preachers and laymen, dif
fer, and their differences of opinion as
to method or doctrine hinders the work
of Christ. At times these differences
settle into hate. We must see that
the burden of world is laid at our feet, —
its poverty, Ignorance and sin are all
there —and that we can never throw It
into the scrap heap of the years until
nil of us get under it and lift at the
same time. The generation to do this
work may not be born, but it is in the
loins of the fa triers and when it comes
it will roll up the enemy and crush him.
It is exhilarating to feel that one may
have a part in a conference or a con
vention where the price of cotton, the
interest on money, and merchandise
have so smal a place. The big things
today in all of the churches, and there
are no little things, are being approach
ed by an army of men and women who
may say little about doctrine, but they
are more determined than ever in the
history of Christianity that the work
shall be done.
Augusta's New Pastor*.
It is refreshing to know that Augusta
is to retain three of her Methodist pas*
tors and receive three new pastors from
other cities. Drs. Wiggins, Dillard and
Roberts have become identified with the
religious and social life of the city, and
it would have been unfortunate to have
transferred them along with the worthy
pastors who went from Asbury, Wood
lawn and Broadway to other pastorates.
Since coming to Augusta they have made
for themselves large places in the hearts
of their and the public in gen
eral. And by this it is not implied that
those transferred had not succeeded. One
of them hud served the limit, another
three years, and the other had done an
excellent work, and his return was ex
pected. The pastors who have return
ed for another year are familiar with
the needs of the city, and will make this
the best part of their pastorates.
The new pnstors who come to Asbury,
Woodlawn and Broadwray are true and
tried men. They have held responsi
ble , charts In the North Georgia Con
ference. These pastorates have been
successful. They come to us with the
endorsement of the North Gorgia Con
ference back of them. They are worthy
of our love and confidence. The churches
to which thev have been assigned will
give them a royal reception, and make
the yeas so pleasant that they will want
to return next year.

ABLE TO WITHSTAND
IN THE EVIL DAY
“Watch Yo, Stand Fast In the
Faith, Qoit You Like Men”
Ttia Present Scripturally Designated
“the Evil Day"—A Time of Thor
ough Teeting—Special Trials of Faith
and Obedience—Difficult to Stand.
Need For "Whole Armor of God.”
Thousands Falling on Every Side.
November
Pastor Russell’s
discourse today was
based upon the
text, “Take unto
yon the. whole ar
mor of Elod, that
ye may be able to
withstand in the
Evil Day, and hav
ing done all, to
stand."—Ephesians
6:13.
The Pastor open
ed his discourse by
K
saying that only those who have learn
ed rightly to divide the Word of Truth
—who hove learned from the Scrip
tures that the Divine Plan Is progres
sive. In which successive ages form
links—can understand the workings of
Divine providences. If all Christians
could awake to a proper study of the
Bible, could see the object of the Dl
vine dealings with the Jews during the
Jewish Age. with Christians during
this Gospel Age, und with the world
during the incoming Millennial Age.
they would see that each Age has Its
seed time and harvest, after which
that Age. having served Its purpose,
passes away, giving place to another
Age and a different work.
For Instance, in the end of the Jew
Ish Age a peculiar testing came to that
people, while John the Baptist was
separating of the chaff
from the wheat a gathering of the
wheat Into the garner of the next Age,
and the permission of trouble upon the
chaff class, which utterly destroyed
them as a nation. In Matthew 13:24,
37, the Master declares that in the end
of this Age there will be a separation
of wheat from ta"os, the former being
gathered Into the Kingdom of Messiah,
the latter being consumed as tares,
though not as Individuals. The de
struction of a tare, an Imitation Chris
tian. signifies that the person posing
as a Christian, drawing nigh to God
wJ'ii ils Ups only, will cease to make
such a profession.
“la tho Evil Day."
Next was pointed out that according
to Scripture the present Is the time
which the Apostle designates “the evil
day.” Throughout the Bible this pe
riod Is set forth as the time when
wheat and tares will be thoroughly
separated.. It seems difficult for most
people to realize that they should be
In the midst of fulfilments of prophe
cy. Familiar with present day condi
tions, many shut their eyes to the
great changes going on around us.
St Peter, speaking of our day, says
that they "are willingly Ignorant.” in
deed, the majority do not wish to
know. Imbued with the worldly spirit
many professing Christians are indif
ferent to what the Ix>rd caused to bo
written for their assistance in this evil
day. Such are not of “the very Elect’
These, St Paul shows, will not be in
darkness, that that day should over
take them as n thief. They will be
earnest vigilant, standing fast in the
faith.
Our Lotd declared that the trial of
our time would be so crucial that. If
possible, It would "deceive the very
Elect” But this will not be possible;
for they will seek the assistance which
God has promised. Through the Proph
et David Jehovah foretold the special
trials of our day, picturing Satan's va
rkms devices —Spiritism, Higher Critl
cteta, Christian Science—as pestilences
and arrows. He tells that thousands
shall fall—amongst those whom we
have considered most favored and a*
onr friends in the laird.
The Armament of Troth and Grace.
The Pastor explained that his text
was much In harmony with Psalm 91,
and indicates a need for the armor of
God, a difficulty in withstanding the
assaults of this Day, and the fewness
of those who will eventually stand
St Paul's exhortation Is that Chris
tlnns take the whole armor of God
not merely the shield of faith, not
merely the helmet of salvation, not
merely the breastplate of righteous
ness, not merely the Sword of the Splr
It not merely the sandals of preparn
tion. not merely the girdle of Truth
but all of these. Whoever will stand
will need every piece.
Many declare that it makes no differ
ence what we believe—Truth or
hood—that the Lord will determine
our standing by onr works. But the
Bible forbids this thought, and assures
us that none con bnve works pleasing
to God because all are Imperfect. The
Dlvtne proposal ts that during thN
Gospel Age He will reward faith ac
companied with works to the extent of
ability, and reckoned perfect through
the Imputed merit of Christ.
Each should examine himself and
discern whether he loves and serves a
creed of the Dark Agee or whether he
is devoted simply to the Word of God
Whoever receives God's Truth In the
love of It will to the best of his aMII
ty and Judgment show it to other*

will demonstrate that he Is a child of
God. Whoever falls to do so will sure
ly find his course injurious to himself.
