Sermon by Rev. G. G. Parkinson before the
Abbeville District Ulble Society; Wednesday
July 29, 1008.
Malt. 11:35. Keail ; ! HO, Jobn 1:10-51. Rom.
1:11-10.
The coining of our Saviour lo any community
brings blessing. To the people ol
Genssaret It brought hruling, the diseased
were made whi le. Hut before the heallne
must come contact with the Giver of Lift;
only those who touched were made whole.
I And to make this healing contact possible
I wo pre told In the words of our text that,
-When the man ol that place hud knowledge
* *' ?" * " - * '?? ? ?ll ihof p/\nnirv
oi mm, uiey neuu uul m.?. ?
round about and brought unto him all that
were dlBenHod.''
This same Physician of souls has
come to us. Through contact with him we
have been made whole. But In the regions
round about and to the uttermost parte oi
the earth, urb unnumbered millions who are
In the death grip of sin. Contact with the
Llfe?Glver they must have or perish. Surely
our Saviour expects us to do what the men
ofGeuessaret did, make the healing contact
possible.
Then the contact was with Him who is
called the Word of God. It was made through
the human body In which he dwell aud
through which be revealed and made efficacious
the divine mercy and love. Today the
contact is with the same .LIve-Glver through
the written Word of God, in which we may
say be dwells, and through which the dlvlcea
mercy and love are made effectual,
Then men were brouaht to the Saviour.
Now we are to take this Word to men, which
is taking the Saviour to men, for he has
promlied his presence wherever this gospel
sbxl! be arrled.
While therefore, this passage does not
speak of it, It makes us conscious of our duty
to do the very work which ibis Bible Society
1" doloi!. Through this Society, through our
Mission H< ards, through the support of the
gospel we may?as Christians we mustmake
possible this contact between lost souls
and the Saviour.
It will serve perhaps to bring the responslk?h.?
..nma tn ntir conscience to ask on
whom the duty rests. It was men of that
place to wbich the Saviour bad come who
brought others to blni knowing him, they
spread that knowledge erjoyltig bis benefits,
tbey offered tbem to oibeis. lu this tbey are
a pattern to us.
It Is of tbe very essence of Christianity to
share Its blessings. Tbe Father could not enrjoy
tne felicity of bis holiness without offetlng
a like felicity to lost men. How then can
we enter Into the spirit of our boly rellglnu,
wltbotu a desire and effort to give its benefl s
to our lost fellow men? Tbe Creator made
men brothers, his Son has taught tbem tbat
tbey are such. Aud only those Invlvlduals
aud communities tbat have the knowledge
of him recognize the fact and perform tbe
duties of brotherhood. The world knows the
debt of those who have not to those who
have; our Kedeemer made knowh tbe greater
debt of those who have to those who have
ot. The world knows love for self. He
taueht tbe blghbr love which seeks equal
good for our neighbor. He was the Sou of
God, be made us sons of Cod. He was rich;
be became poor tbat we might be made rich.
He was King of kings, he made ub to be
"kings and priests unto God." All that He Is
be desires to make us; all that He has he desires
to give ub. And those who know him,
like these Galilean villagers, catch bis spirit
and go lorth to share their blessings. And
thus from those places to which this Saviour'
bas come has spread abroad the only real
-philanthropy tbe world has known.
Much bas been done. In every land beneath
tbe sun the salvation which hai come
to us is being ottered to others tbiougb the
gospel. In Christian lands privileges once
enjoyed by tbe few bave been bestowed on
all as rlgbt6. Culture, once limited to the
few, is offered to all through free schools. In
Christian lands hospitals and asylums seek
tn as far as possible to give to the unfortunate
tbe comforts of their more favored
brothers.
Thus our Lord has taught us to share our
blessings. Much has been done. But very
much remains to be done. A iboutand million
sou 1h know not the true God. In thla
world their homes are the abodes ot cruelty,
lnthenex? their home must be hell. The
difference between their condition and ourfe
l both worlds measures the debt of Christ endom
to heathendom. 1 need not det?ln to
det-arlbe conditions In heathen lands?the
degradation so besotted, the untended suffering
so pathetic, the moral Impurity even of
religious rites so Indescribably revoltlog.
Yon know these things and you
know tbe remedy; It Is this word, whose
entraoce gives Debt as all Christian history
proves. Queen Victoria was not mistaken
when she pointed to tbe Bible as tbe secret
of England's greatness. If America knows
the bomeand Aslndoesnot,II Amerlcaknows
tbe meaning of wife and s!8terand Asia does
not, If we enjoy tbe bejeflts of medicine and
surgery and heathen people do not. If we
have laid, the bidden forces and resources cf
nature under tribute, wltb a marvelous resulting
material development, and, tbe nonChristian
r*ces have not. it is not because we
are A nglo-Saxon and they are not. We have
tbe Bible?there lies tbe explanation. They
have intellects which are not to be despised.
India and Cblna have civilizations wblcb In
Home respects are admirable. But there Is in
them a strange lmpntency In the matter ol
moral elevation and physical amelioration.
ALU tfilU Jill IUU dUU ujv;mi uiv? ca<*x/u
through Jesus Christ, neither 1h there talviillon
In any other. The betterment, tbereiore,
ol buaiuD conditions for time and eiemltj
depends od the men of those places to which
He has come. Sin bas no blessings to share,
unbelief uo gospel to preach. Infidelity reforms
no abuseu. Heathenism relieve* no
suffering, opens no paradise to the loBt. It i?
Christianity that does these things. Let us
give them the knowledge of our Saviour that
ne may be theirs.
It Is Instructive to note also where these
men of Genessaret found their field. They
worked where tbelr effort* wouid oount for
most. The dlvlue Pnyslclan would have
left ibftr village before the sick from Dainas>
cus or Tyre could have been brought, and so
they seut out Into all that country rouud
about and brought unto him nil that were
diseased. Jn this again they are a pattern
to us.
He >s not following tbelr example who
wastes life and eneigy trying to get at something
i-ff yonder while duties at his feet go
undone. Such tHurts are often a penance
with which wo halve our consciences lor the
netliiclof duty which Is not to our liking. It
Is a moie .greeable work to send the gosoel
to Central Africa than to give the gospel by
word of mouth to the African at our door.
But preference bas no place In questions of
duty. We can not rqaare accounts for
neglect at home by sending a bible to the
heathen.
There Is nothing which has been placed so
near as duty. It stands aoross our pathway,
It pushes itself upon our hands. That work
which Is bevond your reach belongs to some
one else. By doing all the Intervening wo/k
you may come to that later, but you can not
make It your present duty by Jumping over
tne Intervening labors. Only be who baa
been faltblul In a few things Is made ruler
o*er many things. If the cup of cold water
has not beeu plveo, you will not be called

uh ask Him to open our eyes and ears and
hearts that we may see and bear and responu
to tbe calls of duly around us. So loug as
our Redeemer could find something to do In
tbls community there Is woik lor bla followers.
And In speaking go I am not Injuring the
great cause In whose Interests we are met together.
I am speaking of our duty as Individual
Christians In the community. But
tbut Is but half our duty. We are members
of the Cburch of Jesus Christ, whose field Is
tbe world. We are members of tbe Bible Society,
the handmaid of tbe cburch 1n her
world-wide work. To organised bodies of
men like tbe cburch and this Society the
world has become merely one great neighborhood.
Mexico Is next door neighbor to
our little church. China and Kore^and Africa
are wltbln speaking distance of our
Southern I'r?sbyterlan brethren. The great
Methodist cbuich can say as Its founder|
could not: The world 1b my parish. The
American Bible Society Is literally sowing
"beside all waters." )1 you wish as an Individual
to do an Independent work having aj
WOriU-rCHCU II 10 iui yurniuic. iiui n ) uu win
work through the church sod other Christian
organisations like this Bible Society, then
you can give to the heathen the 'glad tiding*
of salvation, before you could maBter tbe
alphabet of tbe language In which they read
tbe message.
This talk of beatben a,t home 1b a subter;
fuge by which men would Justify themselves
In neglecting tbelr share In tbe world, wide
work ot the cburch. It 1b easier to talk of
neglected work at home than it is aotlvely to
support tbe work abroad. But duty is not a
question of ease or preference. And be who
neglects his duty to the beatben, brought so
marvelously near by Christian organization
and material inventions, can not square nocounts
by pointing to neglect at home. Under
present conditions tbere can be no justification
of mglect at home or abroad. Our
Held Is tbe world.
It will be pr< tltable, again, to note what it
was that stirred those men of GeDensaret to
activity tor their fellows. They began to
work lor others, we are told, "when the.v bad
knowledge of him." As toon as they knew
who It was that bad come to them aud what
it meant to have bis presence they begau
bringing to blm tbe diseased. In tbls also
tbev are a pattern to us.
Wh?t we nppd in order to work for men Is
firstofall to b?ve this Saviour with us and
then to realise that his presence gives power
<jo bless others. We need to be con?c}ous of
Omnipotence working wllb us. Olvlng five
dollars or five cents to tbe cause of Bible distribution
seems a little tbinp, \nd lor K>me
of ns who spend so much upon ourselves It In
an extienr.eij little thing to do. Aud yet, II
Niich a gilt be according to our ability and
bei-towetf in the proper spirit, two cent*

land>?may open up tbe flood-gates of lutluJle
love 10 loi-t souls. 1 am with you, tbe
Waster says, and 1 have all power. Thai
mpkes the smallest gift or service immeHSureuble
In Its power for good.
We ban*: back In the Lord's work because
we do not know his presence or do not beIjeye
his pojyer. We are lucking Inexpert^
Vo
ciiiiii iiy<|iiaiul&ii&! k-illi liliii. We do u5l
Wcrfc for Christ with Ineli because we have
not first allowed Hltn to,work for us and in
uh. Something fans been kept back from his
gtaclous treatment and hence we oan not
know his wondrous power to heal and save
and cannot offer blm to men with confidence.
We know Jesus will heal these, said
the men of (jenessaret, because be healed us.
Such knowledge Is the basis of the strongest
liith niui the moKt zealous work. And what
we need In order to greater activity to men
r is a profounder acquaintance with our
8a v lour.
We might learn valuable lessons by noting
how these men worked?lessons In cooperation,
comity and thoroughness. Permit me
In closing to call attention to a single fact:
they seem to have been concerned with getling
men to the divine Physician and not
with the question who should bring tbem.
In this thev are a pattern to us.
I am a Ann believer in denomlnatlonalIsm.
Tbe Bible must be interpreted and we
must hold and prdpagale tbe truth as we understand
It. Neither tbe church nor tbe
world basmuch respect or use for tbe man
whose convictions of truth are so shallow
that be can wear one ecoieslastlcul name an
well as another.
But as to the essential truths we are ail
one. And I rejoice in tbe work which we
consider todsy, a work which is above denominational
lines and which gives to the
world a convincing evidence of Christian
unity. Let us stand together in sending tbls
Word to the uttermost parts of the earth.
Through It men come Into contact with tbe
Saviour and live. And whether they become
Baptists or Methodists or Presbyterians,
they become children of God, to his glory, to
tbelrown salvation, and to our Jo/.

DINNER FOR 425 PUPILS ft'
COSTS EXACTLY TWO CENTS 5
FOE EACH ;!
Chicogo. July 31.?A dinner in
courses was perved to 425 vacation
school pupils in the basement of the in
Graham school at Forty-fifth and J
Union streets. The repast cost exactly
two cents a head. ]
The dinner was served by the students'
association of Chicago to dem- w
onstrate a theory that a good meal wt
could be purchased, prepared and
served at the cost mentioned.
With John 0. Shoop. superintendent ba
of the Chicago vacation schools, at the 1
head of the table, the youngsters sat JJJ!
down to the following menu: Baked at
beans, boiled potatoes, bread and but- J
ter, cereal nectir, and harlequin des- j
sert. ta
The "cereal nectar," it was explain- ?r(
ed, was madp of grains, and takes the
place of coffee. The recipe for the
"harlpnnin dessert." was not divulged
but the compound appeared to be high- N
ly Hatiefactory to the children.
The experiment will be repeated at
other school buildings where there are
vacation classes, and it may become,a To
permanent feature of the eummrrjr edJ
school. / in

sums of money have to be fje

There is not much mystery in raising pe
the money. It is always mysterious
how it is all used. pi;

Where does all the money go and i
how is it used? The political leaders L1
are talking about publicity as a safe
guard in collecting mo^ey and spend- rat
ing it. But publicity does not make
public. How can either party spend p
legitimately and for actual campaign
expenses a million to five million dollars?
Where does the money go? It T,

Charleston, 8. C., July 31st, 1908.
the Editor of the Press and Banner:
'ermlt me to answer the inquiry In your
ltorlal beaded "How Is This?" and printed
your last issue. I em confident that
iltber you nor Mr. 8 J. Link, wbo wai>
oted In your editorial, desires to do the
in. R. Goodwyn Rhett. or tbe people ol
arleston an Injustice. Mr. Link Is quoted
saylne a place where liquor is sold oontry
to law Is under Mayor Rbett'a office, or
xt door to It. Surely Mr. Link must have
sn misinformed or misquoted, for tbere Is
t an lota of truth in snob a statement,
rmlt me to sav, tbat Mayor Rhett has
iged tbe most effective war against tbe lilt
sale of llouor tbat has ever been waged
alnet It by a olty or state officer. Daring
e course ot bis administration, the number
t^tnd tigers has been reduced to aboutonelfln>f
what they formerly were. A conQclng
evidence of his administration of tbe
w Is round In tbe fact tbat one hundred per
at more stud was sold Id tbe Charleston
ipensarlpo during April, 1903, than was sold
April, 1907.
Is I said before, I do not believe that Mr
nil, or tbe Editor of the Press and Banner,
)uld willingly do Mr. Rhett an injustice,
a citizen of Charleston, I have mated the
its, ns tbey are known to tbe business men
tbls community, in the interest of fair
ly and good government.

ON WHISKEY QUESTION. I
Editor of Press and Banner! As I have en- I
. tered my announcement lor tde Ley 1m] a tare
in this lBBue or your paper, 1 comply wtib a
your reasonable suggestion, that I express
my eel t on the question of Local Option or the T
. Dispensary. 1 had hoped that the general 1
i local option bill which passed the Legislature
. would settle this question for all time. And
If the terms of that bill have been compiled N
with, In petitioning lor an election In this
I UVJUUbjr, LUC OICL'UUU OUUU1U UC U1UC1CU, 11
. the terms of the law have not been met, ax t
honest men, tbe examining board can not
. and should not order the election.
I Personally I do not favor voting the Die- 1
. peucary out of Abbeville County at this time.
I do not consider thai any moral Issue Is Involved.
It 1b a question or controilng and j
. taxing the wblxkey habit on the one band
and attempting to prohibit without tax, on R
tbe other. I do not honestly believe that tfce
i sentiment or Abbeville County would uphold
and enforce ptoblbitlon, and failure now ?
would undoubtedly Injure the cause of real
. temperance.
I Tbe people of tbe County have undertaken
, tbe building or a court house to coat some,
tblng like 880,000. This was undertaken on ^
tbe reasonable assumption thai tbe Dispensary
question was temporarily settled, and
that the revenue from this source would be .
available. To destroy this fund fixes a buiI
den of taxes on tbe people. If tbe cause of
real temperanoe could be advanced by attempted
prohibition against a strong oppoe- E
, lng sentiment, I would not consider this
I monetary consideration. But with such y
evidences as have reached me Irom other
cuuntle*. 1 think we had as well carry out
. the Implied oontract with the people to help
pay their debt by proceeds irom me uounty
r Dispensary. A
While I bid having something to say to the
Fublio on thla question through your paper, rj
take occasion to reoilnd ihe people that I
i have oDoe or twice canvassed the County T
with every hope of eleotloo, and have bad
that hope swept away by some foolish rumor
as to my plaoe of birth. I want to nay with
Ruth of old, "Whither thou goestl will go,
. whither thou stayest I will stay, thy people y
shall be my people, etc." I can even go further
with Ruth and say, ' And there will I

Now if a man can furnlab any better pledge
of bis complete aud final adoption of this
country for bit home, be must go oaUlde of

I have no personal ends to serve 1ft offering
I for tbe Legislature; and no great reforms to
i propose. I am offering because I think lam
capabl*; and I know I am anxious to be T
' bonored with your votes.
While you may not bear me for my much T
i speaking, perhaps like the unfortunate widow,
you will bear me "lest coming frequently
I weary you." Candidly, I only auk for a fair r,

And trust for a better try.
"Work,' and the world works with
you;
"Loaf," and you .loaf alone.
This strenuous world's & continuous
whirl;
It offers no room for the drones
"Life" la an undertaking;
"Death" Is a silent thought;

Dh, yet we trust that, somehow, good .

To pangs of nature, sins of will, *
Defects of doubt and taints of blood;

That not one life shall bo destroyed
Or cast as rubbish to the void;
SVhen Ood hath made the file complete
rhat not a worm Is cloven In vain;
That not a moth with vain desire
Is shriveled in a fruitless fire
