We took the following very interest
ing short note from a sermon delivered
at the Chapel Sunday at II a, M. by
Rev. Buck Shirley of near Whitwell
blessed is man who has the gift of
telling the truth, for it is one of Gods
best gifts though telling it caused the
the death of Christ, and thousands of
martyrs who, for their faithfulness
and love of the truth, were burned at
the stake, The only way to get out of
self is to tell the truth. We have seen
many wicked people get angry because
they could not prove wrong, right My
advice to you brethren and sisters, is to
stand for the truth where ever you go,
among friend or foe. If one would
possess the wonderful gift of making
friends, love and be of the world, and
pray on the corners of the streets, as
the hypocritical Pharisees did to get
the praise of men, and lose sight of the
fact that truth is the stuff that martyrs
are made of and that Jesus gave his dis
ciples the truth and the world hated
them. In the memorable words of Sol.
onion, "a merry heart doeth good like
a medicine"
. Rev. Buck Shirley took dinner with
Joe Pickett Friday. Joe had purchas
ed nice lot of fish and therefore he
