IT PAYS 10 BE A CHRISTIAN.
Rev. DR.. Curtis Lee Laws wonders That
ANY Can Refuse.

what il Costs TO he Christian and
What it Costs Not to be Christian
were the subjects ON which Rev. DR.. Cur
tis Lee Laws, pastor of First Baptist
church, Baltimore, spoke recently. He
said in part:
'.The stern demands Of Christianity for
a separated and clean life cause many 10
think the sacrifice too great for them To
make. They are unwilling to give up
what they must give up to become Chris
tians. But. while it costs much to he a
Christian, it costs much more not 70 be
a Christian. Christianity hath the prom.
ise of the life that now il, and the man
who refuses to become Christian sacrl-
fees much that he might enjoy. The
true Christian rejoices in the sense OF per
feet security. lie has taken God into his
life. and he rests in the heconsciousness that
God is choosing his paths. Whatever
the future has in store for him, he knows
that il will be well with him. for he has
the sure word of promise. The ungodly
man sacrifices this peace and JOY which
his Christian brother possesses.
"The Christian man reioices in the min
istry Of helpfulness. In one sense he
unites with all kind d-hearted people in
general helpfulness, but the ungOdly yman
has not theprivilege OF the highest helpful
ness. The helpiulness OF the Christian
man is largely directed to spiritual things
and will tell for all eternity.
II pity the ungOdly man, for he loses
the exquisite Joy of helping his brother
men in the most important things we
are called upon to consider. But, again,
godliness hath the promise OF the life
which is to come This is a world full OF
sorrow and of pain. For the Christian
the gloom is scattered by a light from
the other world. He works on cheerfully
and happily, amid ali ofthe temptations
and sorrows of life, because he realizes that
his redemption is drawing near. The un-
podly man sacrifices the JOY and happi-
ness of looking forward TO the cheer OF
the life beyond the grave. He chooses
this world with is follies and sin, rather
than the world to come, with its peace
and gladness.
81 believe that il there were no other
world than this the Christians life would
be the happiest; but when | think oil the
eternity which is before us all | wonder
that any man refuses to be a Christian.
The cost OF not being a Christian would
be too great for me to pay

The New York World says that in the
Alabama C Constitutional Convention, now
in session, Delegate Craig proposed to
''solve the negro question in politics by
giving the ballot to white women alone
thus doubling the white vote and put
ting the blacks in hopeless minority.
This scheme does not conflict with the
Federal Constitution, as it creates new
class OF voters, which any State has the
right to do; but il adopted it would put
a burden of political duty on the white
women Of Alabama which they have
shown no anxiety to assume. The Craig

How the Leading Light Of Poksville
Got the Hooks.

In an excuse for a town known as
Pokevile there were not many live ones.
The typical resident had been there so
long that he had taken root and had
lichens and moss growing on him. II he
had dollar he was hanging on to it
like grim death, now and then letting
ont low wall about taxes. II aroused
from his trance and compelled to ante
for Fourth of July celebration or some
thing OF that character, he would
separate himself from about ~ cents in
coppers, postage stamps and milk tickets
and then he would sit down and cry
like child.
There was a great deal Of wealth in
Pokeville, but most of it was salted away
In wooden socks, coffee mills and Chin
ney corners The ones who had it plead
ed poverty. They cut their own hair
and borrowed somebody else's paper to
read. The town was so far behind the
times that it had lost the route and was
doubling on itself. The people in Poke
vile didn't begin to sing "The Blue and
the Gray" until late this Spring, and the
more clipper ones are beginning to ask
who has read "David Harum? There is
a 8 O'Clock eurfew law for married men
and at $50 all the sidewalks are
taken In and the electric lights go
out.
In this town there was one public
spirited man. He was in favor OF a
baseball nine, asphalt streets and a
half mile track. He was all the time
seheming to bleed the fogies and
grannies for funds to improve and
beautify the municipality. He hammer
ed at the conservative element until he
got waterwOrks and fire department.
This man engineered the ordinance for
having the weeds cut down and it was
he who sat on the neck OF the City
Council until it promised to sprinkle the
streets.
After he had strained his back for
many years trying to pull the town
out OF the yellow mud and give 1t a
standing, a few of his admirers got to-
gether and nominated him as an indepen-
dent candidate for Mayor, saying that
the citizens would be glad to show their
appreciation of all that he had done for
the town.
Thereupon all Of the white-whiskered
grouches and the weeping tax-dodgers
and the variegated fossils who had been
hanging al dead-weight on the COM
munity for several decades saw achance
to catch even. They got out their sledge
hammers and cleavers and made agrand
rush for the public-spirited man and all
the things they did to him it would take
too long to tell. Every one that ever
had to part with an assessment was
glad OF the chance to jump up and
down on the bogie man and try togouge
him in vital spot. They did him up
and buried him deep and refused to
mark the spot.
The Mayor they put in was wooden
man who had been sitting in a rocking
chair ever since the war, listening to the
clock tick. His election was considered
a great victory for the hetaxpayers because
it was known that he would not recon-
mend any expensive Improvement or
anything else.
Moral: Wait until you are elected be-
fore you trim the property-holders.
