monument to Henry Lincoln johnson
in the state capitol at Atlanta. So
life runs. Stephens in Washington
and Lincoln johnson in Washington
would mean a united country and a
UNITED PEOPLE. Faith removes
mountains.
3. Prayer Book.-England is torn
to pieces over a quarrel over a Pray
er Book. The lords, that is, the high
ups voted England book to pray out
of. The Commons, that is the branch
of the legislature which corresponds
to- your House Of Representatives
asked to uphold the vote of the lords,
voted the prayer book down.
That is interesting, particularly to
praying people like you. Christians
like to- pray, some calling the Lord
by name, some by another. Do you
think it possible to improve upon the
Lords Prayer?
Years ago John Wesley, founder of
the Methodist Church of England, al
though he died a member of the
Church of England, which is the Epis-
copal Church in the u. s., got tired
of reading prayers and told his fol-
lowers to pray as the Spirit moved.
Religion and prayer are always
MOST important news to you. Your
prayers are earnest, eloquent, filled
with power. Your religion has
brought you thus far, although many
laugh at you, often saying that God
ought to do something for a people
who think so much of Him as you
do.
History doesn't show that He has
ever done as MUCH for anybody else.
Take your eyes off the lines in the
Prayer Book written by man and
pray from the heart. After awhile
you will begin to pray AFTER faith
and not for faith. Then days will be
brighter for you.
You often hear the saying, Ellis
mouth is no prayer book" The best
prayer book, however, is the mouth
that expresses an humble heart; not
humble before men but before God.
4. The flag of the Confederacy,
emblem of the warriors, who fought
against the stars, is buried with Mrs.
Norman V. Randolph, known to
many, many thousands as Mother
Richmond" Mrs. Randolph, who
died recently in Richmond, was hon
orary president of the United Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy, most te-
nacious organization of tenacious
women in this country
Let your heart follow Mrs. Ran
doph and her flag. That flag draped
the casket of the great Jefferson Da-
Wis, whose affection was divided be-
tween the Confederacy and his love
of right.
Mr.. Davis love of the confederacy
was love of principle in government.
But he was ineffective because his
heart was on the side of the slave.
Read the estimate of jefferson
Davis from the pen of Edward A.
Pollard, editor of the famous Rich
mond Examiner during the war, and
brilliant historian. Turn now to
page 89-90-91 of "The Lost Cause.
"Mr. Davis was a man whose Dig
nifty, whose political scholarship,
whose classical and lofty expressions,
whose literary style-unexcelled-
perhaps in the power CT STATE
MENT by any contemporary model,
whose pure morals, well-poised man.
ners and distinguished air were like
ly to adorn the high station to which
he had been raised, and calculated to
qualify him, in many striking re-
spects, as the representative of the
proud and chivalrous people of the
south.
"But these accomplishments CON-
CEALED from the hasty and super
ficial view defects of character which
were most serious, almost VITAL in
their consequences. His dignity was
the mask of peculiar obstinacy which
by an intellectual conceit.
spurned the counsels Of equal minds"
And so on Mr.. Pollard goes, you
had never heard that Mr.. Davis had
been criticised by a Confederate. had
you? The half has not been told. At
another time, this humble writer,
reading, looking. listening, TRAVEL
ING for you, will bring to you from
Mr.. Pollard and other confederate
historians descriptions of Mr.. Davis.
Now all are gone-Davis, Pollard,
Lee, around whom the confederacy
gathered, Stonewall, Stephens. whose
"War Between the States" will give
you much to think about if you would
take it from the shelf, and Mrs. Ran
dolph.
Angels looking at her beloved flag
will say, 80, yes, an old, old flag, as
old as heaven; Pharoah fought under
it; then Sisera, and new and then
the Caesars, those great warriors.
English kings fought under it at Val
ley Forge; then Lee and Jefferson
Davis"
Tears for Mrs. Randolph. Her flag,
though buried with her, will be seen
above ALL soldiers who contest God.
