WRITTEN FOR THE GEORGIAN
By REV. DR.. JOHN E. WHITE
Pastor Second Baptist Church

and when he has found them he
knows he is a comrade Of the
nvincible and the Eternal
A great chemist paused before
an important experiment and
said Young gentlemen, be quiet.
I am going to ask God ques-
ton"
John Keper, as every school
boy knows, discovered the laws
of planetary motion, and ex-
claimed in scientific ecstasy:
Great God, I am thinking Thy
thoughts after Thee!"
The common man recognizes,
though often dimly, that success
is harmony and cooperation with
forces beyond his control. with
which his will and working are
only an inferior partnership.
The best farmer is the man who
clings closest to the band wagon"
of nature.
Whoever starts his life work
with the conviction that this is
not multiverse. but a universe,
a cosmos and not a chaos, is in
the line of safety.
Better Get On.
1t is the best guarantee of sue
cess, a sort of cosmic accident
policy, which insures him against
accidents by making them practi-
cally impossible.
When they told Thomas Carlyle
that Margaret Fuller had said
that she was going to accept the
universe as she found it, the
testy scotchman growled, Cad
she'd better"
Now the band wagon" Of the
universe is not a vague vehicle Of
religion and philosophy. There is
a movement in this world down
to every mans level, and if men
do not catch on to it they inva-
riably get run over
There are moral currents run
ming like rivers toward an in
evitable ocean. The smaller trib-
utaries which swell the great
stream of manifest destiny are
the moralizing, enlightening, en-
nobling and purifying movements
Of our day. and they run by every
mans feet.
The undermining of evil in the
world is almost a visible process.
The movement toward sobriety,
the enlargement of womanhood,
the concern of the child, the en-
thronement of peace, are the
band wagon" of the universe.
Passing down the street, did
you see a sign like this? This
house is coming down" 1t is a
fair warning The contract has
been let. Before long, when you
pass the spot, the house is gone.
In the same inevitable destruc-
tive and constructive way the
movement of the world foredooms
the fall Of evil institutions and
foreordains the physical, mental
and moral upbuilding Of life. The
very constitution of the universe,
the laws of nature are against
the wrong door; the very consti-
tuition of the universe. the laws Of
nature, are on the side of man
who does the right.
The trend Of things is working
steadily and irresistibly for the
defeat and overthrow of some;
the trend of things is working
steadily and irresistibly for the
vindication of others.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-06-20

n EFT on the band wagon of
i the universe" This exhor-
tation Of an astronomic
moralist writer about the music
of the spheres and the rhythmic
sympathy between men and the
stars sounds perfervid and i'm
possible.
But when the Earring jointure
of slang and solemnity passes
off, reflect on it. Forget its sug
gestion of political parasitism
which we despise in politicians.
The Higher opportunism.
Forget the repugnant type Of
evangelism it brings up-Billy
Sunday, cracking his whip in the
big tent and exhorting the people
to strike the sawdust trail' in
hurry for the gangplank of "The
Old Ship of Zion" if they want
TO go to heaven.
Consider the fact, both practi-
cal and sublime, that irresisti-
BILE forces are at work in the
world. inevitable movements of
power outside of us are on, and
the band wagon Of the universe
is no joke.
The grand motive of human
progress is the passion for sue
cess.
The martyr. no less than the
charlatan, is moved by it, though
in a different direction. He goes
to the stake because the stake is
the way of life and achievement
for him. The apparent failure he
submits to is his gateway of vic
tory. For the JOY set before him
he endures the cross despising
the shame.
The will of the higher powers
presents itself and he mounts
upon It. The movement of a
triumphant purpose which can
not fail ripples as a tide at his
feet and he steps out, not con-
quered but conquering, to be
borne onward.
Some call this faith and some
call 1t the higher opportunism.
Statesmen and the Common Mar
Below the martyr is the states
man, scientist and the common
man.
The politician looking for the
band wagon" becomes the states
man when he drops his selfish
ness and becomes a serious stu
dent of the inevltables in democ-
racy.
Nothing finer than Henry Clay,
standing on a peak of the Rocky
Mountains, bending his ear, and
saying; Il am listening for the
footsteps of the coming millions
of this continent" The prophetic
element in statecraft is the pow
er to discern and take advantage
Of irresistible currents of civili-
cation.
The biographer of Cecil
Rhodes. the empire builder, says
he began his career in South At
RIGA with a deep pondering Of
Providence. II am going to find
out which way God is going in
South Africa he said, and go
that way"
The scientist also seeks for the
band wagon" of the universe. He
begins with the conviction that
the universe is an organized
Omnipotence. BY so much as
possible, he discovers its laws,

HOLCO M B
of "Horse Race" Fame
BACK In COOKEVILLE

Rev Walt Holcomb, who some three
years ago held great meeting in Cooke
vile, began an evengelistic campaign
at the Methodist church last Sunday
The meeting started off well from the
very beginning. with large congrega-
tions hearing him both Sunday morn
ing and Sunday night, with rapt atten-
ton. The people are anticipating, hop
ing and praying for great revival in
COokevile. Everybody is interested and
will attend and participate in the SER
vices. Mr.. Holcomb appeals to all
classes and the different churches will
rally to his support.
Sunday morning Mr.. Holcomb took
for his text John IA: Il have glori-
fled thee on the earth, | have finished
the work thou gavest me to do" From
this he drew the lesson of finished wark
for God In part he said: Jesus Christ
brought religion from heaven to earth,
from the streets of glory to the streets
Of COokeville, and from the city of God
to the city of Cookeville, from the man
sion on high to the homes below"
God gave Christ and you a work TO
do, and our work was as definite as
Christ's work. We have a physical,
mental and moral work to do, and no
one can do our work for us, but each
must do his own work"
In closing he said that death does
not finish our work, it merely stops it,"
Sunday night Mr. Holcomb was greet
ed by large crowd and preached on
THE Disordered Home" A prominent
citizen said 'he could see the fur fly"
II reminded one of "old times" when
ilolcomb was here before.
The services are being held at two
o'clock each afternoon and seven o'clock
etch night. Go out and hear Holcomb,
il will do you good.
