Finally, Paul speaks OF the judgment
of the Lord, concerning which several
interesting statements are made.
To begin with, the Lords Judgment
will be complete, for he ''will bring to

and will make manifest the counseis
Of the hearts" This is a solemn
thought, yet how comforting! Only

Good men have been frequently mis-
judged by the world. One of the most
godly Of all the missionaries Of the
church was James Evans, who minis
tered to the Indians of the frozen
north. He incurred the hostility of
officials Of the Hudson Bay company
because he taught the Indians to rest
from their labors on the Lords Day,
although he demonstrated to the COM
pany's officials that those resting one
day In the week did more work than
those who labOred seven days. When
Evans went to England he was re-
ceived cOldly everywhere and was sur
prised and broken hearted over the
fact. Then he learned that cam
paign of Misrepresentation had been
carried on against him and he under
stood this cool reception. Justice was

text throws much light on this point.
In the margin of our Bibles, the word
Judgment" is here translated "day,"
so that Paul is saying: at is a very
small thing that I should be judged Of
mans day" MANS day" is contrasted
still to come. The principles which
govern "man's day" are not the prin-
ciples of the Lord but rather of Satan,
who is "the God Of this age" Hence,
Christian may expect to be mis-
judged by the world, for he is a pill
grim and stranger here. The Pilgrims
in Vanity Fair, as John Bunyan has
pictured them, were looked on as out
landish men and people took them for
Bedlamites. "The world knoweth us
not"
Next, Paul goes on to speak Of self
judgment. What an arresting state
ment-"I know nothing against my
SELF" Certainly he was not one Of
those who turn the grace Of God into
lasciviousness. Although not under
law he insisted that the righteousness
of the law should be fulfilled in us
who walk after the spirit. He knew
nothing against himself.
But he Immediately goes on to say,
"Yet am I not hereby justified" Paul
knew too well the imperfection Of hui
man self-judgment. Had he not once
honestly thought he did God service by
prosecuting Christians, and did he not
approve the murder Of Stephen? Even

France, which, since the outbreak Of

an outpost nation guarding frontier
of civilization, strongly urged the crea-
ton of an immediate international
army and navy TO enforce the rulings

geois argued earnestly for the con-
stitution of such force and for the
placing of Ii in France until all danger
of an attack by Germany was at an

Butler Citizens Want
Americus To Join In
Putting Project Over

{ Americus was asked today to come
to the aid of Taylor county in build
ing a bridge across the Flint river
between Taylor and Upson to make
/ possible the projected Americus-At-
lanta short route highway, lessening
the distance by some 40 miles over
the Macon route. A party of prom
inent Butler citizens, headed by Col.
Walter Steed, and composed in ad-
dition of Messrs. Riley, Bivins and
Smith, the latter chairman of the
Taylor county board, addressed a
meeting of citizens at the Chamber
of Commerce at 1870 o'clock.
Col. Steed made the principal talk.
He stated that the new highway,
which is dependent upon the bridge,
needs only $4,000 more to make it a
reality. 1t is to be a federal aid pro-
ject, costing $4,000. Surveys have
been made and provision made by
the government for half the money.
Upson county is ready with her half
of the balance. Because of the oppo-
sition locally of Commissioner Neis-
Ter, who owns competing toll
bridge, Col Steed stated, it was i'm
possible for Taylor to put through
special tax measure or otherwise
raise the necessary funds except by
popular subscription. Ten thousand
dollars is needed in cash by Taylor
to supplement the convict labor Five
thousand has already been raised
This committee, feeling the impor-
tance of the early construction of the
section of Georgia south of Taylor,
has resolved to ask for help outside
in raising the remaining $4,000.
Col. Stead stated that, whereas the
people Of Butler, a town of 1900
now go 60 miles to Columbus or Ma
con to do their city trading, they
would gladly come to Americus, dis
tance of only 38 miles, over a level
country, if first class through high
way were provided. He declared it
to the financial interests of Americus
business men to see that this project
does not fail at this time. He said
the object of the highway, which has
the backing of the state highway de-
partment, is largely to catch the
Sotuh Georgia and Florida tourist
travel from Atlanta southwark,
something a direct and short route
would assure, he said.
Following the talks, President
Sheffield of the Chamber of Com
merce, named a committee consisting
of N. A. Ray, W. W. Dykes, Craw-
ford Wheatley and Frank Harold
to take up the request and determine
what disposition should be made of
it locally.
