NEW YEAR GREETING.
Rev. A. q. B. Powers TO the Members Of
His Several Congregations and
Christians Everywhere.

- ehP
1910, being the birthday of a new
year, and the Gath anniversary of
the advent of your hum BILE SER
want, the writer, into this world
of pain and pleasure, l am led TO
ask the indulgence of the Editor
of the Fulton County News, to al
low me through the columns of
hio excellent paper to address to
you the following thoughts;
FIRST, | want to say to the mem
bers of the churches of my
charge, that / thank my Heaven
ly Father for the preservation OF
my life throughout the year just
past, and hope to enjoy our labors
together as pastor and people dur
Ing the year just begun.
Now, as we have come to this
the beginning of another year,
let US consider that there hath no
temptation taken US, but such as
Is common to man; but God is
faithful, who will not suffer us to
be tempted above that we are
able; therefore, let us strive to do
Gods holy will in every way pos.
slble. There are many ways to
do his will-some of which wish
to mention. Let us read and
study his Word, and pray to him
for his grace to help US obey his
Word, which teaches us to love
Him, Tor He is love; and that we
should love each other as he has
loved us, And, in order to love
each other, we should be willing
to forgive each other their tres
passes, that our Heavenly Father
may forgive us Guy sins. If there
be any malice or hatred IN our
hearts, let us throw 1t all away.
forgetting the things which are
behind and reaching forward to
the things which are before. Let
us press toward the mark. More.
over, we can do his holy will by
faithfully attending the House OF
God, where we can worship him
together according to his Word.
l desire that all the mem bers
of the different churches of my
charge be faithful in attending all
the means of grace-Ghe preach
ing service, Sunday school, Chris
tian endeavor, song and prayer
service, &C., working out your
own salvation with fear and trem.
bling, and in this way our light
may shine before others, that
they may see our good works,
and especially they of our own
household. Oh, fathers, moth
ers: What kind of an example
dQsTe set before our children?
Isit such an example that when
we are gone to our graves that
our children will rise up and call
US blessed? Now, in conclusion
let me say, that hope that all OF
our beloved zion who may chance
to read these few lines may be
interested; and, also, those of
other denominations who have so
kindly appreciated our Christian
fellowship will continue faithful
to the end. Then some sweet
day we will be gathered at HIS
great white throne, where there
will be no separation. Let the
wicked forsake his way and turn
unto the Lord and He will have
mercy upon him.
