Why, towards the end of May the price of

THE BIBLE CLASS v1s1T-The Cordele Dis

THE BIBLE CLASS VISIT-The Cordele Dis
patch, whose handsome and genial editor, Charles
E. Brown, was of the 1888 who made the trip
to Fitzgerald last Sunday with the Cordele Bap-
fist Bible Class, has the following to say of "the
unusual event."
All the people of this community could not
have caught the inspiration which attended the
trip OF the Baptist Mems Bible Class to Fitzger-
aid yesterday, for the reason that they could not
attend in person, but it matter to be regretted
that everybody could not have had some of the
fine fellowship which prevailed The 1888 men
who went on that trip found much to enlarge and
develop real red-blooded manhood, dominated and
made bouyant by Christianity
There is no one who made that trip who would
not stand up and recount the pleasures Of that
Sunday occason-peasure BETTING Sunday and
church work. 1t had many good features, all of
them seemingly planned by care taking thought
ful people in Fitzgerald. 1t was not hard to touch
the fine Christian spirit OF the good people into
whose hands the men from Cordele fell and they
made sure that every feature, Of the program
would tend to render honor and service in the
great cause which the church and Christianity
serve.
Many man in that crowd was impressed with
the common interest each had in the welfare and
pleasure OF the other. 1t was whole train load
OF men engaged in the same work, having the
same motive in view No one need commend
their department. No word can do it Justice
When we say this was an unusual event. we
have not begun to describe it. Nearly four hun
dred men got up carly and went to Sunday School
with their fellows in a town more than thirty
miles away. We have seen Sunday excursions,
but we hope nobody will ever abuse this event by
applying such word in describing it. No man
on that trip was an excursionist. He was mem

event unlike anything we have seen here and
we believe great good will come out of it.

Tragedy Of Ages Is
Rejection OF Christ
Elder Screws Speaks on Salvation at

living stone, rejected indeed, Of
men, but chosen of God, and prec-
ious. Ye, also as living stones, are
built up spiritual house, an holy
priesthood, to icer up spiritual sacri-
fees, acceptable to God by Jesus
Christi Peter 2:4,5.
He took the position that Christ
is the Slime, and the greatest trag-
edy OF the ages is the fact that men
reject Him-the only Saviour. The
speaker stated further that the rea-
son why men reject Him, is because
they do not feel their need of Him;
and that none will accept Him, I'M
til they are awakened to their need
q salvation.
o5e who are saved by Him, the
prcarher said, are the living stones
that constitute the spiritual house

priests, and have access to the God
OF Heaven through Jesus, the great
High Priest.
The sermon was heard by large
audience. The meetings will con-

Forty dollars from an eighth Of an acre of tur

has to sell and high prices for what one has to
