White Preached Im pressive Serman at First Bap tist Church Sunday Night. Tho subject of Dr. John K. White's sermon Sunday ni;- .1 at the Kirnt l?ap tiat church war drawn from the text "Shall not the Judge or all the earth do right." The sermon wbb impres sive presentation of the grounds on which every man is warned against slti and encouraged aguinst despair. These grounds are in t .e human con science as well as In scriptures. The root of nil religion and morality la tho certainty that God is going to do right. It is this certainly that gives the moral universe its stability. A world in which tho eternal moral Jus tico is liable to slip a cog would u perilous world. "Because of this certainty that the Cod of all the earth will do right there are other certainties nupon which wo may base our convictions and our conduct." said Dr. White, "and guide our lives from sin to sal vation and away from hell to heaven. We may conclude as an absolute fact that God has provided tor every need Of this world In wiich we live. Its physical, moral and spiritual neces sities aro divinely arranged for. There Must Be Mountain*. "Science depends upon the certain ty that (Jod will do right. It has discovered that there is a law of cor respondence Jn nature, a dualism in the physical world upon which it cun build its fait:': and by which it can guide Its Investigations. God made everything in pairs. The fact of one is proof that the other exists. There are no half Joints. The great Ouvter digging a hundred feet below the sur face found a colossal tooth of some sort of extinct animal. The great tooth demanded a great Jaw, ti.e great Jaw a great head, the great head a great neck, the groat neck h great body, and so Cuvler took a tooth and constructed in plaster the prehistoric Mastodon precisely as It ?.od existed In a by-gone age, The French as tronomer, Leverrler.' wMth an interior telescope discovered certain strange movements In the planet Uranus. Ho said 'ttherev^njMLbo another plnnet as yet undiscovered to explain tho pe culiar actions of Uranus. In 1846 he wrote to Dr. ?alle of Berlin and asked 1ilm to direct his powerful tel escope to a definite point' in the heavens and told him he would prob ably find a new planet. It was done and there flashed out Neptuno in all her glory. It had to,bo there. Uranus demanded lt. Wo me things have to be because the Ood of all the earth must do right. In merely physical fact It is required of Ood to supply for man everything his physical ca pacity calls for. Lungs indicate something to breathe, hands some thing to ' grasp, feet something Id stanr* onl ^it'enger prophesies food, thirc paints.,to,water, eyes demands something to see and cars something to hear which we call sound. "Now follow this principle further we enter the realm of human longings and desires, anr! its truth holds good. God will do right and for all our deep yearnings He has made provision. I ha*e heard of a man who lived in a low flat monotonous land near the sea. Wearying of the dull plains, his heart told him that somewhero there must be mountains where the air was clean and sweet and the skies kissed the earth. He pined for this mountain land and then said he was going to find it. He stood on the chore, stretched out his hands one day, and cried that he could see them far away through the mists of the sea. Mis neighbors laughed at him und called him mad. Alone in a little boat he put to sea and was gone- for many days. One day the people saw beating up toward tho shqre. a strange boat festooned with the branches of trees and with flow-, ere streaming from the mast and full of rare fruits and beautiful gems such as they bad never seen before. It was the mad man come back from the mountains. He fell down tu their midst crying' tn ecstacy: "" here are mountains, there are mountains." This story is something better than a fancy. It pictures the trntb that the God ot all the earth will do right and that for all our instructive longings He has created satisfaction. A Marriage tn Heaven. "Eut a less pleasing aspect ot this truth must now be confronted. If God does right ?In must be punished and there must be a hell. There is an Inseparable moral bond between sin and its penalty. What God baa Joined together, no man can put aaundev. Someone has conceived of a marriage in 'heaven. The wedding pairs created for each ojjher are brought into tholr Inevitable rela tion?'. The everlasting Fathoz awaits the appointed- bride and broom of truth as they come down the garn ished aisles to the, dirge ot woeful music And stand before th? throne to be Joined together. Who are they? The bridegroom is sin and Ute ?ad bride is penalty. There sin and pen alty are wedded eternally to orlng forth their off .apTiag of sofroxr. We do not rely uppa scripture only for the certainty of sin's punishment. Something deep in our natures con finas the Justice or it. Sir. must be punished because it ought to be punished. God cannot do light if sin goes free. In human government we knew the pride of unpunished crime and we are constantly suffering so1 cial dlsastci tu rough Ihc failure of Justice, in moral government Justice cannoi fall. It may seem to Tall, and sometimes we are battled by the ap parent escape of sinners from the con sequences of their sins. This Is be cause God does not pay every Satur day night, but He pays. Out of tills deep conviction of justice ami right comes the moral certainty of hell. Meli must be. It Is a fact demanded by the very nature of God. by the moral necessities of the universe, by the propiietic menace of the human conscience and the analogies of si! law. Men may differ in their <:on ceptlon of what hell le but I do not be llevl) any man disputes in his deepest soul t1ie fact of hell. Most of us have experienced something of hell? a foretaste of what a soul must suf fer, abandoned to the tortures of moral guilt und perniancy in despair. We '/Kivo only to recall the black hours, the inward side, the racking of the spirit, the piteous pursuit of < 011 sclence with her scorpion whips, In order to shudder at the contemplation of our souls under the lashings of a hopeless torment. Tb? Great Hahntioii The final aspect of the text Is to be eagerlly sought. Because God . must do right there is pardon for sin I and the certulnty of heaven. The di i vine righteousness includes not only ' Justice but mercy. The spirit within ! Dears witness to God's grace. Our souls cry out for peace and holi ness. The prayer, "Oft wash me and make me clean," is wrung from the depths of our suffering. Jesus Christ is God's answer to the demand which : sin makes upon his mercy. The cross of Christ is the divine response to the soul's cravings for atonement. Sin made the debt and "Jesus paid It all." Sin left g crimson stain. He was.led It white as snow. I speak to every dlscourugcd and sinful man here tonight, and declare to him tha: the God of all the earth will do right and will hear his cry for something to take away the guilt and penalty of his sins. It is not more certain t at hunger implies food, that an eagle's wings assures the supporting other, that the roots of a treo must hav? soil to penetrate, that the long flexible i of a bird demands brunches to cling to, that it is certain for him that God bo loved tho world that He gave his only begotten son that whosoever be lieveth in Him should not perish but hate everlasting life." So when I look about me and look within me I know f.: at heaven must be. Whether I ever get to heaven pi not, I know It is there. Christ told his disciples that their discomfort ot earth was a true longing, that if it were not so He would have disabused their minds of it. We believe In heaven because there Is an intolerMble emptiness of lite without it. Exis tence in a world trom which tut thought of heaven had been banished would be Insupportable. Heaven alone can afford the repose for which the human soul is crying. "We camo from Thee, oh God, and we bave no rest until we return to Thee." As tho sun draws the moleturo,from the earth Into the skies, so heavpn draws I our spirits. "What are you doing, my boy?" said a gentleman to a lad who was sitting with, hands and eyes up toward a thick cloud. "I am sail ing my kite, sir." But where is your kite?I don't see any kite? How do you know there is any kite on the other end of that string?" "I know it by tho way she pulls, was the boy's confident reply So do we know that there is a hea* in. Wo feol the draw ing."

M THE story of a very remarkable settlement by The Mutual Bene fit Life Insurance Company is given below, an it appeared In a news paper advertisement published b> one of the Company's South Carolina rep resentatives, Mr. Sam Grist, Special Agent, Yorkville. The facts are as stated. The insured, Mr. Davis, was only twenty-six years of age. All Companies NOT "About the Same/' (An ad from the Yorkville (8. C.) Enquirer.) Some the of K?aders of The Enquir er ..ho do not claim that they "Do not read advertisements," will, I am sure, froely admit that they have read an advertisement which appeared in several previous issues, In which tho Agent of Another Company, but who carries insurance in the Mutual Rene* lit. Is quoted as saying that If tho av erage business man realized liow far superior it was to ALL other com panies, the Mutual Beneiit could sell all the insurance it wanted to with out a sales force (agents). The Mu tual Beneflt has been setting the com petition, so far as giving pollcyhold ers a Square Deal Is concerned, for seventy years and is as far in the lead today as it bus ever beon. During the sixteen years that I have represented the company I have delivered checks aggregating $6,000 that would not have been paid by any other company. One of the most remarkable cases in the whole history of the Company, and the one isolated case in tho history of lifo Insurance recently happened at Manning, S- C. Following Is a copy of a circular letter sent out by M. M. Mattlson of Anderson, General Agent for the Mutual Benefit, under date of May 14. 1915. under the title of AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE. Under date of the 8th Instant, our Mr. E. C. Horton jf Manning, wrote as follows: n re policy No., 573,905?D, B. Davis, I regret that assured was kill- ] 3d yesterday afternoon, four o'clock p. m.. In. store building which was destroyed in the terrific cyclone. I note that assured'.", policy was extend ed until May 7th, 1915, tho exact date of his death. Please advise status of policy." , Upon investigation we found that a policy for, $4,000 was issued on the life of Mr. Davis in 1911, that it lapsed be cause of .non-payment of premium duo October 1st, 1914; that the,cash value of the. policy had been exhausted by loans on ?u'mc, but was in force at time of party's death because of our rujes in reference to the payment of dividends. Under Mutual Benelt policies, divi dends after the first are not condi tioned upon payment of premiums; so when this policy lapsed the Company automatically applied the Final Divi dend of $17.99, as a credit on the loan which as you can understand revived or restored an equal amount of tho ' cash value, which value was sufficient ' to extend the Insurance for 2JB days, or through May 7, 1915. The extend ed insurance period therefore expired last Friday night, a few hours after Mr. Davis was killed. -Mx. Horton has been instructed to make up proofs of loss, and just as quickly as pos sible we will- make settlement with the beneficiary, M a. Sue Davis, wife of the deceased; I wish to call your attention to the following points: First.

Dear Sir: It secniH almost providential that my late hus band chose to place his insurance in the Mutual Benefit. I wed never more surprised in my life than when told by you that the policy issued by your Company on the life of my late husband wus in force at the time he met hlB death in the terrible cyclone which visited our community a few days ago, or.d that I would receive approximately $4,000 therefrom. I could hardly believe what you told mo to be possible, for Mr. Davis, after keeping up the policy for a few years, which he was able to do only because of the assistance he got in the way of loans on same, finally, as he thought, gave up the in surance when the 1914 premium fell due. I know Mr. Daviu believed that the Insurance ceased to be In force when he fl ti ed to pay the last premium, and it is therefore with mingled surprise and gratitude that I have received at your hands the Mutual Benefit's check for $3,849.61. I understand that thU policy would have expired within a few hours after my husband's death, and that It was kept alive frcm October of last year because of the liberality of the policy and the practices of the Mutual Deneflt; also, that un der the same circumstances it is doubtful if any other com pany would have paid the claim. I want the world to know what you and your company have done for me, and in connection with this letter you will please publish all the facts. For your untiring efforts and the liberality of what I believe to be the best Company in tho world I am deeply appreciative. Yours very truly, CSigned) MR8. D. B. DAVIS. check for Iiis dividends in stead of applying them as a credit on his loan and there by giving him automatic ex tended Insurance, he would have had no protection un der this policy after tho ex piration of the month of grace. Third. But for our 1914 Special Dividend the extend ed Insurance would have ex pired before tlmo of party's death. Without any one of the three factors of the Final Dividend it would have ex pired. Fourth. If, after applying tho dividend of $17.99 as a credit on the loan, the Com pany had applied even dol lars?in other words, $17.00, have done, to the extension an some companies would of the insurance, this policy would not have been In force on last Friday afternoon. Fifth. It is unnecessary to say that if thin had been a Non-Participating Policy there would have been no ex tension whatever, and no pro tection after the expiration of the usual thirty days of grace. This is one of the most striking cases we have ever experienced In our whole career; it illustrates in no uncertain way the QUALITY of Mutual Benefit insurance; and is conclusive evidence that the MUTUAL BENEFIT IS IN A CLASS TO ITSELF.

Writing further under date of May 23, Mr. Mattiaon sent out the follow ing letter to Agents: In my letter of the 14th Instant, re garding case of Daniel 13. Davis, of Manning after giving you some of tho detail?, I called ydhr^ attention to sev-. erul points which mark this as ouo of tho most striking experiences in the whole history of life insurance, and which shows that it is extremely fortunutc for the benoficiary that this insurance was in the Mutual Benefit, I wish now to give you some further dotails. In reply to our inquiry, tho Com pany has written as follows: "If policy No. 573,905, Davis, which lapsed by non-payment of the prem ium due Oct. 1st, 1914, had not been entitled to the Special 1914 devidend of $2.93, the extended Insurance would have expired on April 1st, 1915. If the final dividend under this policy had amounted to $17.00 instead of $17.99, tho extended insurance would have expired on April 2uth, 1916." In July, 1911, Policy No. 573.905, for $4,000, on the 20-Payment Life plan, was issued to Mr. Davis, with term premium from date of iBsue to Octo ber 1st, term premium only having been paid at tlio time of delivery. The regular premium due October 1st, 1911, was paid in full, but when the October, 1912/ premium became due M r. Da vis went to our Agent, Mr. Hor ton, and stated that he would be compelled to drop this policy, that ho couldn't raise the money with which to pay the premium, etc. Mr. Horton explained that his policy provided for a loan almost sufficient to take care of the second regular premium, and fi nally induced Mr. Davis to avail him self of tho loan, and thereby save his insurance. The amount of cash ac tually paid by Mr. Davis in settlement of the 1912 premium was $10.71. Then, when the 1913 premium came around Mr. Horton had even gr?ater difficulty in getting Mr. Davis to arrange the premium. Finally on November 29, Mr. Davis furnished rc-instatement certificate and arranged that year's premium by paying in cash $37.57. As to what happened In 1914, I quote Mr. Horton : "In October, 1914, he brought his policy and dolivered it to me in my office, and no amount of pleading on my part could or did have any effect. He said he was not able to pay tho premium, and having exhausted his loan value, he could not receive any help from the Company. He left tho policy in my possession, considering it of no value, until I received a card from you saying that it was continued In full force until May 7th, 1915 . . . I don't tbiuk I have ever known of a case where party tried at* hard and persistently to get rid of a policy as did tills Insured, and had It not been for our most liberal contract he would not have had the policy after the first year. He leaves a wife and two babies, nnd this ' money, together with ono other policy of $1.000, Is all they havo." ; Yours very truly, M. M." MATT1SON. General Agent.
