Yesterday evening ut $50 O'Clock,
Joe Brazelton breathed his last, and
today at p. m, his body viii be
laid to rest, Rev. DR.. Woods con-
Quoting the services. Deceased was
a victim of consumption and slowly
his life went out. Those present nc
the sad, still moment say It was
peaceful death. so calm and free
from pain that he seemed only to
have fallen asleep.
This was a fitting close to the life
of the man who had borne his part
along the walks OF men with such
dauntless, yet modest courage; who,
while shirking no danger, had
heart as soft as velvet and brimful
of sympathy. In the years gone by
Mr.. Brazelton served ia Gainesville
on the police force. In the days Of
his official duty reckless men, full
of adventure and daring, and often
thirsting for blood frequented this
CITY. These he met with q fearless
ness that was marked, and 1t was
here. too, that his friends saw 90

They were manly traits, God-given

that shall come after. To get the
habit Of faithfuiness wrought into
our lives, until it becomes second
nature to US, makes us impregnable
against temptation. An evil once re-
sisted becomes much easier to resist
the second time. This thought is
beautifully expressed in the hymn,
"Yield not to temptation,
For yielding is sim;
Each victory viii help you
Some other to win"
In this world of sorrow, trial and
temptation can we not adopt these
lines:
"Lord, thou art my rock and strength,
And my home is in thine arms
Thou wilt send me strength at tlength,
And l feel no wild alarms.
Sin nor death can pearce the shield,
Thy defense has o'er me thrown,
Up to thee myself yield.
And my sorrows all thine own"
But a second result of resisting
| temptation is, that we may receive
crown of life. The Lord has prom
ised this crown "to them that love
him." So then the enduring which
Is acceptable to God arises from love
The crown which God has promised
he does not promise to them tha
suffer merely, but for them who love
1t will be theirs who endure and VIII
love.
To overcome temptation not alon
in outward act, but with heart an
soul, is what wins the crown OF life
To such an one life has been enrich
ed, beautified, sweetened and file
with meaning. When he speaks 9
Christian conflict, he does not us
words without meaning. His prir
ciples are not mere sentiments, br
living powers, whose strength ha
been tried and proved. All mis- Chri
tian experience is a crown whic
buds here and blossoms hereaftt
and this crown is given to him VII
when temptations come, gives hin
self mind and soul, and will an
heart, to fulfill the love OF Chris
And this crown is a possession etc
!, nal, incorruptible and that fade

yield, conscience stands up and con-
demns us. But we have greater au-
thority than were conscience for
saying that God is not the author OF
temptation. James settles this ques-
ton once for all a--s1erms unmistak-
able. "Let no man say where he is
tempted, / am tempted of God, for
God cannot be tempted of evil, and
he himself tempteth no man." but
in a sentence gives the true source
of temptation, in the words, but
each man is tempted, when lie is
drawn away by his own lust, and
enticed. Thus declaring that the
real seat of temptation lies in cor
rupted mind, an evil heart.
Whatever may have excited it, or
whoever may have shared in it, sin
takes it's rise in us. The word lust
in this connection means to desire,
to covet, to long after. Evil pre-
sents itself to our minds, at first we
give it q cold reception, then think
more favorable toward it, then

HEAR 1T TO-DAY.
ASermOn On Temptation by Rev. c. c.
Mckinley, Pastor of the First Pres
byterIan Church. This City.

Brother Mckinley will today preach |
o the subject of Temptation, taking |
his text from James i:12-13-14, and
predicated on which he will preach
the following sermon:
This epistle was written by James,
the brother of our Lord, to his
brethren, the Jews, who were scat
tered throughout the then known
world. They were a subjugated peo-
pie, tyranized over and oppressed
James knew the energy, enterprise,
national pride and spirit of money
making which characterized his fell
low countrymen.
With the knowledge of their ma
tional characteristics he realized
that they would be called upon to
face severe temptations.
At times they would be tempted to
give up the religion of their fathers
entirely in the struggle to make
money.
Many would be tempted to revolt
against their enemy.
Some would be tempted to give up,
and become respondent and dis
couraged under the weight of op'
preston and tyranny.
And so this epistle was written tc
instruct, encourage and Strengthen
an ambitious, yet oppressed, scat
tered people. 1t was published
among the Jews with the hope thai
it might dispel doubt, fear and des
pondency, and at the same tim'
correct some erroneous ideas re
garding temptation.
You may ask what has the temp
tation of the Jew to do with us &c
day. answer that it has little to d
with US except in a general way
But at the same time you have bt
to look into your own consciences

ton is a very practical one, on

illogical questions which no man
can fully understand and answer.
Such as, how could Adam and Eve,
without any natural inclination to
sin, be tempted. How was it possi-
BILE for a person absolutely sinless to
yield to temptation?
Many questions of similar charac-
ter might be raised, which do not
propose to dwell upon today. Wheth-
er we can understand the origin of
sin and temptation or not. we know
they are facts, and these facts set
1orth by James are what should en-
gage our attention today. Not the
cries, but practical experience
should most interest us. Let us OBJ
serve two things implied in tempta-
ton, first, it's nature, and secondly,
the benefits derived from it. Let us
first get a clear idea of what the
word temptation means. think
the majority of people have the idea
that temptation is necessarily evil.
To them the very word suggests
something bad, something to be
avoided. But the word in its print
tive sense has no such meaning at
tached to it. But it rather means
to try, to test, to prove. 1t is salo
that our Lord was tempted forty
days and forty nights, but we know
he committed no sin. During thii
time the devil used intrigue aftel
