giters proceed to tell why they with
hold further donations
Institutions of decidedly Christian
character, responsible to some strong
and pure church, must be built, for the
defense of the faith. Such institutions
can and will do much to safeguard d
high Christian civilization. We have
had quite enough of irresponsible tnsti.
tutions through which German rational
ism has been imported during the last
fifty years. German spies are not more
dangerous than such establishments, and
as matter of fact German emissaries
have been found ensconced in professors
chairs in some of them.
But we must go further than this. Our
people must come back in simple trust
and unfaltering devotion to "the faith
once for all delivered to the saints" We
know the fruits Of that faith are good
always and everywhere.
Pure and undefiled religion must be
revived throughout the length and
breadth of our land. Family affairs,
which have fallen down, must be re-
built. Parents and children must come
together daily to seek the face and favor
of the God of our fathers The weak
and hayward must be restored to lives
of piety. The lost must be found and the
outcasts brought back to Cad.
To the accomplishment Of this revival
ministers of the gospel must lay aside
the side issues Of CRITICISM" "sociolo-
gy," reforms" etc, and the great fun
damental truths of the Christian religion
must be proclaimed anew with the power
of the Holy Ghost sent down from
heaven. For this the people are hunger
ing and thirsting, and for the want OF
IT they are dying.
Some men are beginning to discuss, in
the midst of these awful times, the silly
cues ton, what must preach after the
war;" This is the most petty trifling.
Men are very serious now. Issues Of
life and death confront them. Unuter-
able sorrows are breaking their hearts
Anxieties distress their waking. and their
sleeping hours. Unreasonable burdens
Cypress them. Under such conditions,
they want the gospel, and nothing but
the gospel, when they enter the
churches.
Discourses on current topics weary
them with themes of which they have
heard during the week all they can bear.
Pretty pulpiteering over trifing matters
cannot satisfy their souls; nor can must
Gales conducted from choir lofts by anna
teurs meet their wants. They resent
being given a stony sermonette when
thew ask the bread Of life, or being
handed a serpentine song as substitute
for spiritual sustenance. They abhor

Anniversary of Surrender at Appomat-
tox. ...


This anniversary-AprI1 9th-brings
to mind the dread and agony of the
final surrender of the Confederate gov
ernment-ffty-three years ago. The
news was so closely censored that we
were not prepared for II, and the shock
was great. We were refugees, four
miles from Macon, Ca, and we were
doing so well after Sherman had trav-
ersed Georgia from Chattanooga, Tenn,
to Savannah-so much better than we
dreaded. during. that cold, miserable
winter of 1864-5, that we had about con-
cluded that General Lee would be able
to defend Richmond and prolong the
war still another year. The first April
days in 1865 were beautiful. with the
springing green, and we were planting
a crop, making garden, and trying
to feel cheerful while we were doing our
bit, thus bravely. But the city of Ma
con surrendered to General Wilson, and
the land was filled with federal SOL
diers and rowing negroes, about the
time of the debacle at Appomattox-
and 1t looked like the end had come,
finally, like a thundercIap from a clear
sky.
We secreted some bacon in the dwell
ing, and covered up some flour in the
smokehouse-and kept an anxious vigil
all night long after Macon went into
the hands of the federals. On top of
that suffering and anxiety came the
news of the final surrender, in Vir-
ginia and North Carolina.
We had scores of Confederate SOL
diers lying out in the woods. Some of
them would creep into our house after
midnight, and slept on pallets. Before
day they crept out, and went into hid
ing. But there is generally a little
sweet, when there is much bitter, so 1
comforted myself that these soldiers
would protect us Cor die with us), in
the event we were attacked in the night
something we dreaded beyond meas
ure.
The crop, as before said, was planted
and partly worked-but the time soon
came when we could not feed our large
negro family. Our mules and horses
were taken, and the negroes were de-
moralized like their owners were dumb
founded with the appalling situation
We struggled with difficulties until
June came in-and then my only sur
viving child, boy of eleven, died very
suddenly with congestion of the brain.
The big grief swallowed up all the
smaller ones-and it was weeks after
ward before the collapse of the Con-
federacy bore down upon me any more.
MAY the Father in Aeaven grant us
peace and deliverance ere another 9Th
of April

AN HOUR AHEAD OF TIME

Since we are obliged to get up before
day to get running start on the days
work, 1 am glad to say it does not go
against the grain" with me. When 1
was young we always rose before day
in winter time, and before sunup in
summertime. The fortunes or Georgia
were made under this early rising pro-
gram. The hands went to the field in
crop time by good daylight, but they
came in to early dinner and rested two
good hours in the middle of the day.
These early risers went to bed before
dark and by such division of time there
was healthy daylight saving. We had
nothing but candlelight to eat or work
by in my early raising, but candles were
very good and we were not clamoring
for something better. In cold weather
we had bright log heat fires, plenty of
fat pine kindling and there was salts
factory light along with plenty to eat
and good warm clothes for the cabin
jewellers. learned to sew, largely on
the garments my mother fashioned for
the field hands. 1 could 'backstitch"
long seams. and do it well Cor have to
rip it out), before my task was COM
pleted. Whatever my mother did in
any sort of domestic work, was taught
to do, and how I thank her for this
healthy discipline! 1 have thought that
owe as much to early rising as any
body in the world.
In summertime 1 had to go to school

THE APRIL R1.rzzARp

| AS 1 am writing these lines, about 9
a. M, April IL, see the snow falling
| in flakes bigger than a rabbits foot,
and the roofs of dwellings as far as
my vision extends are as white as snow
flakes can cover them. The green of
the trees and the white of the snow
makes a combination that few will see
again in this generation, and which l,
approaching my eighty-third year, new
er saw but once before. Those who are
aged as myself will doubtless remem-
Der the April blizzard that fell on the
south in the year 1S49. But this spell
of weather is far more severe and as,
believe, will be more fatal to the
spell of 1S49.
My father and mother resided in De-
catur Ga, and Decatur was the county
SITE for Atlanta at that time was only
hamlet, and there was no Fulton
county. The weather had been sum-
mer-like during the month Of April up
to the 18th. Then it turned cold and
the skies spit snow-only once and a
while. My father had a large wheat
crop on the South River plantation, and
the wheat crops were in the boot
stage when the icy blasts fell on them.
We reached the plantation during the
cold spell, and as soon as the weather
warmed up 1 accompanied my father
down to the 100-acre wheat field, and
there was not a stalk standing, and the
crop was as dead as Hector" He own
ed flour mill and he saw the absolute
ruin spread out before him, because
the whole country was in like condi-
ton. Biscuit were scarce in Georgia
that year.
But this present blizzard. is cold, and
the snowfall is the heaviest ever saw
in Aprii of any year. If the wheat is
in an advanced stage, it will be surely
killed, and unless the leaves on the
peach trees protect the young fruit
there will be no peaches in this part of
Georgia during 1918. There will be a
great anxiety and apprehension If the
wheat crop, in Georgia is killed. 1t
meant so much to the producer as well
as the consumer God, deliver us from
famine in this crucial stage of the
worlds welfare! Save, o Lord, food
for the people.
1 ask myself sometimes, us this Ar
mageddon?" Earthquakes are an
nounced in various localities, and we
await every days news from Europe
with anguished hearts.
