Prejudice a Hndrance to the
Cause of Christ.

Ashton, Ga, Sept. 10, 1905.
To the Readers of the Fitzger-
aid Enterprise, and to Whom it
May Concern:
1t has been rumored by some
people that the pastor of Pros
pect Baptist church, Rev. A. B.
Finley, was not in good standing
with his church, nor recognized
in his community, and I have
heard so much talk that I have
decided to make some investi-
cations.
My very first attempt brings
from the church at Douglas the
highest praise and the best rec
ommendation that can be be-
slowed on any member. The
following certificate will show
for itself:
Douglas, Ga
ITO Whom it May Concern:
'This is to certify that the
Rev. A. B. Finley is a member
of Douglas Baptist church, in
good standing and full fellowship.
Given under our hands this the
18th day of September, 1905.
J. B. BozEMAN, Pastor.
GEO. r. BRIGGS, Deacon.
R. A. SMITH, Deacon"
The above is true and cor
rect copy of a certificate of which
I hold the original.
The time has come when the
churches ought to stand by their
pastors and see that they are
i'm posed upon by false reports
and heresays circulated through
out the country, by men claiming
to be serving the meek and 1owly
savior of the world.
I say it is high time for each
church to prosecute such here
says and false reports, for they
ace hindering the cause of Christ
today. Take the beam out of
thine own eye and you can see
clearly the mote in thine BROTH
erss eye. Prejudice amongst
ministers of the gospel are hind
ering the cause of Christ today.
The world is looking on in amuse-
ment, seeing the condition as it
is are hating between two opln"
ions saying, if 60 here or if | go
there it is confusion. will risk
nv chances in the open world.
Their souls are lost, and the min
listers of the gospel are most to
blame. And those that bear
false witness or heresays Will
have their reward. l expect to
stand by our pastor, and if it
takes prosecution to stop false
reports on any minister of the
gospel, | am ready to aid in help
ing the cause of my blessed
Master.

SIHovv to Make Farm Life
Attract we to Our Young
Peop1e.''-A Sermon.

Although this is woman's age
it is still difficulty for her to
secure a pulpit, SO bring my
little sermon to the press. l
have no text, but ] shall follow
the good, old fashion Of dividing
discourse into points and remark
firstly:
Constantly remember that "all
work and 10 play makes Jack a
dull boy" on my own respon-
sibilitv | would add land Jill a
dull girl" Farm life need not be
the drudgery it too often is; by
systematizlng the work time for
rest and recreation can be arang-
ed. God never ment us to be
working machines. We have
souls as. we'll as bottles and should
not be slaves to the latter.
Secondly, if farm life is to. be
made attractive enough to hold
our boys and girls. as they be-
come members of the wo1 king
farm force, their services should
be acknowledged. Boys cannot
be expected, as they approach
manhood, to work for their
board and cloths with little
pocket money thrown in; they
should have regular wages Or a
share of the crops, or at least
some distinct agreement as to
the value of their services and
their reward. Girls should be
well educated and fitted to earn
their liveing if thrown upon the
world, besides which they should
be encouraged to earn for them
selves by bees, hens, fruit raising,
etc. Too many farmers daugh-
tiers are PRACTICAL farm servants
without wages and this is the
reason they seek service in towns
or venture on the stormy sea of
city life.
Thirdly, aim at bavelng pleas
ant surroundings. Comfortable
homes have much to do with
makeing life attractive and too
many farm houses. are weather
stained cabins fanked BY stables
and out houses built 50 near for
convenience that their oders are
much too close for comfort
Don't grudge few dollars for
paint, and even if they should be
shade trees near the house have
a varandah furnished with rock
ers and hammocks; lay out bit
of lawn where the young folks
can play croquet or tennis and, a
flower bed TO make the place
sweet smelling and good to look
upon.
Fourthly, see to it that the
label is supplied with an abun-
dance of good, nourshing food
nicely served. Most in frequent
ly farm house plenty means plain
fare with little variety Have a
garden stocked with vegetables
a ID fruit; farmers eat altogether
to much pork and pas try an
not enough vegetables and fruit.
Plenty of eggs and chickets 60 to
