DIR. Bob Jones, Jr., President of
Bob Jones University, will bring
the closing message of a week of
meetings at the Bible Presbyter-
ian Church this Sunday at 1880 p.
m DIR. Jones has been addressing

can easily surmise that
thoughts of this kind must have
come to the mind of George Eliot
when she wrote these lines:
Seven cities vie for Homer
when dead
Cities in whose streets the liv-
ing Homer begged for bread"
In Interpretation Of these lines
! bring these words from the pen
of another: "A nation rarely
catches up with its leaders until
they are dead. Then they raise
great monuments to honor them
using the tin cans and the brick
bats they threw at them while they
were alive to make the monu-
ments."
The life-story of Abraham Lin
coin illustrates this truth. News
papers and politicians used all the
base words in their vocabularies
to attack him and to impugn his
character and his policies. 1t is a
matter Of record that in some
Southern areas rewards were of
fered for his assassination, but
after he fell as the victim of an
assassin's bullet everything chang
ed. Nothing now was too good to
be said about him. Too bad that
Lincoln's Salute" was so long de-
layedi Post-mortem tributes did
nothing to rest this noble mans
weary soul.
And now we would come back to
what we initially set out to say
if you have appreciation to ex-
press, if you have kindness TO
acknowledge, if you have friendly
words to say, speak them now. Do
not delay, do not let the days slip
by until the time for offering tri-
butes is forever gone. Give your
"Chautauqua Salute" today. To-
morrow may be too late. Remember,
II would rather have one little
rose
From the garden of a friend,
Than to have the choicest flowers
When my stay on earth doth end
Il would rather have the kindest
words
And smile that / can see
Than flattery when my heart is
still
And my life has ceased to be.
Bring me all my flowers, please,
| today
Be they pink, or white, or red;
| would rather have one blossom
now
Than a truck-load when I'm
/ dead"

Christ Church (EpiseopoD
Rev. E. John Dyer, Rector
Third Sunday After Easter


Repent, and be baptized every
one of you in the name of Jesus
Christ for the remission of sins,
and ye shall receive the gift of the
Holy Spirit"
This was the substance of the
Apostles preaching. Thus. from
the beginning of the church, men
have entered upon their Christian
life by baptism, wherein they re-
ceive the forgiveness of their sins.
and are incorporated into the holy
fellowship of Christ's Body, the
church. In addition, the apostles
impaired TO the new members of
this fellowship the gift of the
Holy Spirit, which has been CIV
en- them. Today we. through con-
firmation. are specially empower
ed by the Strengthening of the
Holy Spirit. Thereby we are bet
ter enabled TO fulfill our prom
ises as Christians. Confirmation,
or the Laying on of Hands upon
those that are baptized, is a rite
that has been practiced in the
church since the days of the
Apostles and is a rite supplement
tary to baptism.
