DIR. HOBBS SPEAKS ON
CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLE

Dr. J. r. Hobbs preached a forceable
sermon yesterday morning at the First
Baptist church to large congregation
on THE Voluntariness of the Christian
Principle, DIR. Hobbs took his text from
the first chapter of James. twenty-fifth
verse: "But whatsoever looketh into the
perfect law of liberty and contnueth
therein, he being not forgetful nearer,
but doer of the work, this man shall
be blessed i'm his deed" Dr. Hobbs said
in part:
"The author of the Book of James
was James, the just brother of Christ.
1t was the first book written in the
New Testament. 1t is of great signifi-
canoe that he was brother of our
Savior He was the chief pastor in the
Church of Jerusalem. there being sew
eral pastors in churches in early days
of Christianity, and James was leader
and Christian Jew. There were com :
pulsory laws that men must keep in
order to be Christian and remain a
Jew. The ideal Christian was an ideal
Jew, and proselytis was not necessary.
when a man becomes a Christian
he begins to talk about the law OF
liberty-the perfect law. Christian law
is not imperative. Divine favor and
grace make a man a Christian. In
stead of being taken up with what a
man shall do, liberty law deals with
what one shall not do. A genuine
Christian does not perform good deeds
because he must: he does so voluntarily,
because he is free to act. 1t is not nee
essary to salvation to be baptized nor
to become church members. People do
these things because they are saved al
ready and wish to follow in the foot
steps of Christ.
Salvation is not to be won by Chris
ton service Our Savior, because of
gratitude to God, who graciously re-
wards Him. Treasures in heaven are
what are to be gained by service. and
no service was ever rendered to God
that was not rewarded
mo per cent of money is mentioned in
the New Testament; the gift is to be
voluntary. All Christian service is
upon a high plane and a man who is
saved can be trusted. Some men are
slow in voluntary service. but it is the
truly Christian way and the transaction
is between the man and his Creator in
prayerful spirit. Only two things are
ance and faith. The best thing in
Christianity is opportunity--that of
serving and giving. 1t is a marvellous
blessing to get to heaven by Gods
grace. Nothing goes unrewarded.
"a true Christians service is volun-
tary, whether he lives in rank and file
or as leader. But whatsoever lookest
into the perfect law of liberty, and
continueth therein, he being not for
getful hearer. but doer of the work,
this man shall be blessed in his deed"
Let us get it into our heads"

Truly, the Mother Paysl

Here Is an account from a Paris
paper of what was said at his trial by
the mother of Coffin, the young an
archist who shot Clemenceau: "Cot-
tins mother stops. She wants to speak,
but tears choke her words. She makes
an effort and one hears a voice that
Is nothing but a sob; I did not come to
defend him. But I don't want that
they should call him unpatriotic. He
was so sad to see all those soldiers
die. He wept when he spoke to me
about all those boys dying with the
word mother" on their lips. He want
ed to enlist. It's pity they did not
accept him. He was brave. They
might have given him dangerous er-
rands, and at least he would be dead
by now But she hasn't strength
to finish what she wants to say. She
turns back and collapses on a bench

There are millions of people who
suffer almost daily from the horrors
If an acid-stomach-indig sour,
gassy, stomach; distressing heartburn; !;
sickening food-repeating painful
bloat and that miserable, puffed up,
lumpy feeling after eating. Many Of
shese people have tried treatment after
treatment; medicine after medicine /;
others have gone to doctors and stom-
lch specialists and some to hospitals,
but in spite of all of their efforts they
have obtained no lasting relief or a
permanent cure.
These symptoms simply mean acid
stomach. If allowed to run on, they
are very likely to cause a lot of seri-
,us trouble. Dyspepsia, rheumatism,
gout, lumbago, sciatica, splitting head
ache, dizzy spells, nervousness, sleep
lessness, mental depression, melan-
cholia, a feeling of listlessness and
all-goneness-these are just a few of
the disorders which can be traced to
acid-stomach. AS a matter of fact,
acid-stomach is often the direct cause
of those almost incurable conditions
known as catarrh of the stomach, in
testinal ulcer, and cancer of the stom-
ach. The lives of those who suffer
from these serious troubles are moth
ing short Of daily agony. Surely,
then, you must see how important it
is to 60 at once to the seat of the
trouble - acid stomach. You know
