iaryi visits had been made by the police,
hundreds of newspapers had been prose-
cuted, 100 books and pamphlets had been
prohibited, 800 clubs and other organiza-

been tried and sentenced. Nevertheless
1t was shown by documentary and Other

How the Georgia Exhorter Converted .
Confirmed Inhdel.
Down here in beautiful town south
of us an infidel-and about as good a
one as you will find-came to me and
said: .'Mr. Jones, / am an infidel. l
don't believe the Bible; but you have
got something that have not got. and
1 wish l had it. l don't know what it
is" l said: II will prescribe for you
and cure you if you will take my med
icine." He said: II will do it." l
said: Tonight when l get through
the preaching come up to the altar
and say, God be merciful to me a sim
ner.'" He says: ''But l." say:
''Shut your mouth; your trouble has
been your mouth and if could keep
that shut twenty-four hours l will get
you on the road to God" Sure enough,
that night he came and knelt at the
altar and after the service l said to
him: when you go home read a
chapter from the Bible and have fam
lily prayers" "But l." says he.
Shut your mouth. said 1; "your mouth
has gotten you nearly to hell, and If l
can keep it shut forty-eight hours 1
will cure YOU" He got his Bible that
night and prayed. The next morning
he came back. l told him when the
door of the church opened for him to
go up and join. II l." he began.
l said: "Shut your mouth, but do as

up to the front and joined the church.
/ put paddock on each corner of his
mouth and one in the middle, and kept
his mouth shut forty-eight hours. He
then said: II believe in God and the
Bible, and here is my hand to lead a
Christian life"
Many people think if their views are
not right they can not be Christians.
God never said: "Give me your head"
and if you give God your heart your
head will come straight as natural as
life. An infidel is an infidel because
he will not take the medicine that will
cure infidelity.-From Nashville Ser

The following summary of the work in
to some extent, the nature of the work the
Bible Society of Maine ia doing in the State.
Number of families visited 1916; % Of these
expressed preference for the Adventist de-
nomination, So Baptist, 10 Christian, 1856
Congregational, 1873 Episcopal. Ia Free
Baptist, 3e7 Methodist, IS Roman Catholic,
3 Unitarian, l27 Universalist, New Church.
80 other denominations, and 90 were without
preference; 1872 families admitted they were
seldom represented in any religious assembly.
| They were reported TO the pastors and it is
to be hoped committees will be formed to
I follow up the work; 40 school children were
found not attending Sunday school; 304
copies Of the Scriptures were sold and donat-
ed 10 Protestant homes were found to be
destitute Of the Bible. As usual all were
supplied As in other towns it was found
necessary to give copies to many families
who had only fine print Bibles or portions of
the Scriptures.
In small tenement house there was found
a family, who moved TO Gardiner five years
ago. The wife at that time was taken sick
with rheumatic fever and has since been
cripple. The husband has been cripple for
thirteen years. Both, however, are doing all
in their power to earn a living. When nine
teen years of age, the wifi consecratec her
self to the Lord and joined the church, and
has since continued to live prayerful life.
The family were found to be very poor and
destitute Of money. There was only por-
ton Of the New Testament in the house.
In another tiny house there was found a
woman seventy three, and husband eighty
four years Of age. The man had been the
father of four children, and had buried them
all For several years he had been unable
to work and been obliged to sit in his chair
night and day. For many years he had been
a member Of "A Protestant church. Through
, all his reverses he had prayed and trusted.
There was only portion of old Bible in
the house, and the print was so fine that
neither could read it. Tears flooded the eyes

shown her by the visitor. 1t was what both
desired They objected 10 receiving the book
