Toucher of Dlblo Doctrino, Moody Bible Instituto, Chicago, TEXT-Now ts Christ rison (rom tho dead * and broom o the nra t fro tu of them that1 Slept.-t Cor. 10:?0. . i Tho Bible is a book of fticts out of which lssuo groat spiritual truths. dry bones bad been gathered together, breathed upon froui heaven, vitalized and made to stand upon their feet, an exceeding great army ready for battle. If you aro a Christian believer, be ware of that which minimizes the Im portance of Christian doctrine. The value . of Christian truth and doctrine Iles in its ability to supply spiritual power, to furnish moral in centive and to linpnrt mental vision or understanding. This very truth of Christ risen from the dead, tho first fruits of them that slept, ls an ex ample of this. When believed and re ceived lt operates In a saving ways "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth tho Lord Jesus Christ, and shalt be lieve in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the doad, thou shalt be saved.'* Salvation Comprehensive. Salvation is u big word, und com prehends the whole process of God's remedial work, past, present und fu ture. It Includes tho resurrection of Christ ns thc llrstfrults and the res urrection ol' believers m Christ us the harvest. The llrstfrults is the pattern and pledge of the coming harvest. In tho Mosaic law the Hebrew people were directed to bring a sheaf of the field, like other sheaves that w?re to bo gathered later, and to wave lt be fore the Lord ns the first sheaf of tho harvest. So ls Christ presented as the llrstfrults of tho glorious and plenteous harvest to come-"Because . I live, ye shall live also." There ls spiritual power In tills. What is truo of our Lord ls true of every believer in Him. Everything Is made depend ent on the believer's position as united to Christ. This underlies the whole - philosophy of the Gospel message, in which we. are invited to chungo our position from headship In Adam to headship in Christ, who through His atonement for sin and Ills victory over dcatli and the grave, has become Sa vior to all who put their trust In Dim. The doctrine of our identity with Christ and our participation In His risen Ufo and victory supplies moral incentive for a holy walk, and for sacrificial service. This very truth of the bodily resurrection of Christ and of tho resurrection of Christian believers when Ho returns, is the ground of tho appeal In I Cor. 15:58 'Therefore be ye steadfast, unmov nblo, always abounding In the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor ls not hi vain In the Lord." The Apostle John used the same ba als of appeal and finds moral Incentive la tho same facts-"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and lt doth not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when Ho shall appear we shall bo Uko Him, for wo shall see Him ns-He ls. And every man that hath this hope In him purifleth himself, even as He Is pure." These great doctrines concerning the future blessings of Christian be lievers are never presentod ns abstract truths or for mero academic discus sion, but ns vitalizing truths supplying the necessary Incentivo for tho conflict with ovil within and without. Worldly Philosophy Inadequate. Such a truth as this concerning our Lord's resurrection ns tho firstfrults of a great hr vest, to follow imparts clenr mental vision and understand ing concerning the future. It re claims the future from that dreary in definiteness and unthlnknbleness Into which false philosophy and false spir itualism have put lt Tho New Testa ment teaching of tho resurrection ls plain, and when believed lt saves us from tho delusive teaching ngnlnst Which the Holy Spirit through tho In spired writers always puts Christians on their guard. "Bowore, lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after tho rudiments of tho world, nnd not after Christ." This philosophy may bo very attractive] it ls to tho natural mind. It has In lt a specious ness and an appearance which prom tso much, but which In tho end give no rest, no power for a holy life and no solid hope for fho' future. It bo lorigs to the rudiments of tho world and ls not after Christ. The religion of tho New Testament ls plain and homely. It begins with a bubo In a eradlo. It follows that babe all tho way through death and resurrection to tho placo of power where the crucified and risen Man ls seated on tho right hand of God. It bids UH live In tho risen Lord and look to become Uko Him, risen In His very Image in a glorified body when He shall come. From the heavens Ho speaks-Believe In Mo, llvo In Me, nnd you shall arise ln_ Mo_ when I return, have bee? formu lated into doc trines. To "the natural m a n," these doctrines are like the dry bones of Ezekiel's vision - very many and very dry. To/the re generated man they aro like the other part of that vision-when the GETTING RID OF HJS PESSIMISM. J? H. Leo Writes from Westminster of Trip that Gave Optimism. Editor Keoweo Courier: Will you grant me a little of your valuable space in your paper in order that I may try to toll my friends of tho plan that I fell on to divort my mind from the pessimistic feeling tliat had come over mo, and that comos over a majority of us all at ono tim? or another, I imagine. Ono afternoon I sat myself down in a comfortable rocker and turned my mind loose to seo if it could re member something that had happen ed In the past or th) ik of something thift could happer lu tho future that might make ono feel bettor at heart and in mind, and this is what my mind wandered back to: I remembered how our fathers, in their day and time, when, aftor they had finished work or had laid by their crops, they would hitch up old Maud and Charlie and drive away across tho country to visit some of I their friends or relatives and spend ! a fow days at their homes, enjoylnj J their hospitality, eating melons and 'fruits and many good things that j were to bo found on tho well-cared- ! for farms of those days. I romem- ! herod how they seemed to enjoy the j outing and how thoy would sit and talk of the good timo they had, and how much good it seemed to do them, and I could not seo why it would not have the samo effect on mo and others. So on July 16 O. G. Drlvor and wife and littlo (laughter, Miss Hattie Youngblood, W.'L. Brown and myself put our "John Henrys" I in good shape and filled our tanks with some of John D.'s fluid, and gave the switch a little twist, and pressed a button with our foot, turn ing on a little current of Tom Edi son's electric juice, and then our , rubber wheels bogan to roll In the j direction of South Georgia, lt was ' not long until we were across the J river and spinning on towards Mc Rao, and while In McRac wo visited at tho homo of W. B. Youngblood, ; fnthor of Mrs. O. G. Driver, and at j tho homes of J. A. Driver and S. B. Pitts, all of whom are natives of our ! State and county. They aro all happy i and satisfied in their adopted homes, j and wo enjoyed our stt\y in these hos ; pltablo homes to the fullest extent. I On our way down we passed in*o and through 27 towns, villages and ' cities, Athens being the largest. In j leaving McRao wo passed through j tho towns of Hazclhurst and Lumber ; City. I Picking cotton and pulling fodder ' were in progress even at as early a j date as July IGth. The farmers In ', South Georgia seem to have taken i the boll weevil by surprise by plant ing corn, peanuts, potatoes, wheat; oats and fornge, inolons and fruits (of course, as wo all know, Georgia is the home of tho 'Elberta poach and tho finest of watermelons.) Hogs and cattle aro raised to a good extent also. As I said, the farmers surprised tho weevil by fortifying themselves against him by raising those differ ent crops and fruits, and so on. While on the way down wo spent the night at Perry, Ga., at tho hotel of J. A. Berry, proprietor, who is quite well known to many in this part of South Carolina. Wo stayed among our friends as long as we had tho heart to do so, as they made it very enjoyable for us In many ways. They extended to us a hearty welcome, and when tho table was made ready for the guests wo found lt had boon sot thc long way and the ham cut tho broad way, and quito thick. But you know there must bo an end to all good things on this earth, and all good frlonds have to part. So our time was up and wo all agreed that our pessimistic feel ings that wo possessed when 'we do clded to tako this trip had to a large ASPIRIN Say "Bayer" and Insist!

It so encouraged us that wo de cided to do likewise; so with thia In mind we extended the parting baud and spoke the parting word, cranked up and were on our way to tho sweet est place on earth, which ls homo. On tho return trip Wo crossed ino railroad fifty times by actual count, and even then wo didn't got killed. On roaching homo and duding that things wore in as good condition as they wero when we left, and that we still had a few moro days that we could spare away from ovir crops and other Interests, wo decided to extend our trip Into the Old North State to find out, If we could, Just what our itar Heel friends wero up to during these unsettled times. We started on the North Carolina trip on July 27 in company with T. Y. Nortou, and of course passed through the cUy of Greenville, then Spartanburg and Gaffney, and on up tho lino to King's Mountain, which is of Revolutionary fame, as this mountain is where one of the great battles of tho American revolution was fought. There aro a great many monuments' marbing tho places of noto on the mountain that can be seen by passers-by. Wo passed on through tho rapidly growing town of Gastonia, which is quito a littlo elly, and most beautiful. From hore wo passed on to Char lotto, which is a city of fifty thousand inhabitants and ono of tho leading cities of tho South, it being quito a railroad center, with ibo Southorn doing a great volume of business. Wc passed on through Monroe, Fayetteville, and saw many good fields of corn, cotton, peanuts and to bacco. Quito largo acreages of clo vers and grasses aro raised in this State, as it is now somewhat of a dairying State, and hog and stock raising is carried on to a large ex tent in some sections. Did you know that North Carolina stands second in tho United States as to cotton manu facture? They say she does. I think that North Carolina ranks first in the manufacture of tobacco, but I would not be positive as to that. The tobacco fields looked quite strange to us, not being accustomed to seeing tobacco planted on so large a scale as lt is being raised in North Carolina. Taking the State as a whole North Carolina ls said to be mak ing the greatest progross In Improve ments of every kind of any State In tho South. What say you? ' Wo stayed our stay out at Mr. Norton's and turned our noses to wards our own dear old State and homo, and as wo were passing by a largo tobacco farm we noticed quite a lot of small bugs Hying around in droves, and wo noticed quite a fow lighting in and on our cars, and on close inspection wo discovered that they were boll weevils. We were somewhat surprised to find tho boll weevil in a tobacco country, so we stopped our.cars, and one or two of the old rooster weevils flopped their wings and told us "not to think hard of them," but that they wore going to rido a short distance with us. "Why, what aro you doing up hore?" one of our party asked the weevil that was doing the talking to us. "Well," said tho weevil, "we came up here to locate and set up in busi ness, but found out the tobacco busi ness would not suit us, as I don't chow tobacco and Mrs. Weevil don't dip snuff, and neither of us would al low our boys to smoko cigarettes, so wo decided to go back to South Caro lina and go back into tho cotton busi ness." i "Well, I guess we will havo to 'et you ride, but wo bato to, os you wee I vils have proved to bo square against j us cotton raisers." I "Well, we will not go so very far with you, as wo understand there are many of our relativbs at work in your State, and there will not bo much moro doing in thc cotton business, so we aro going to leave you and go into tho southoastorn portion of North Carolina and sot up. Good-bye." Woll, we" roached homo safe and sound and aro still feeling much bet ter after our delightful trips. With the very best wishes to you and tho continued success of your most oxcellent paper, I thank you for the timo and space you have so kind ly given mo. I hog to remain your friend and subscriber, J, H. Leo. Westminster, S. C., Aug. 15, 1922. Funeral Sermon for Thomas Roper. Wo aro requested to announce thal Hov. D. T.

' Sawyer was rained. Tho combine that he had hoped to smash had smashed bim beyond repair, lie bad hung up the telephone In bbs ofilce for the last Urne. : Mechanically he put on, his hut und wont out Everybody knew. The clerks and typists had received their two weeks' pay In advance, with notlco. .Thero woe a subtle change lu their demeanor. They no longer bent over tholr work when Sawyer passed. They were gossiping insolently about him. The ofllce boy forgot to open the door. Why should ho? Ho was no longer In Sawyer's employment. The negro elovator boy grinned at Sawyer when he took him down. Saw-, yer was finished. There was prob ably no last tip in Sawyer's pocket for him. There wu isn't Sawyer passed out Into the hall. His eyes lit up ns a beautiful, fash ionably dressed lady came toward him. This was Miss Eaton-a very Intimate friend, perhaps bis most intimate. There was a strange look on her face. "What's this 1 hear about you, Jim?" alie asked. "It's true, whatever you've beard, Helen," Sawyer answered. "I'm blown np, finished." She stared at ,him Incredulously. "And what are you going to do about mo?" she asked. Sawyer drew her Into an alcove, away from prying eyes. "Listen, Helen, Tve five thousand left," ho -sold. "I might raise five thousand moro. Will you come away with mo to that little paradise of an isle we've spoken mt' Miss Tinton tossed her head con temptuously. "Well, I guess not 1" she answered. "No love In a tropical cot> togo for mine, thanks I" And Sawyer quailed before her con tempt. This struck him more bitterly than anything In the world. "What are you going to do for mot" Miss Eaton continued. "How's my al lowance going on?" Sawyer turned on her fiercely. "It Isn't I" ho answered. "You've swal lowed every penny of mine you're go ing to have." She began pleading, threatening. Sawyer cast her off with contempt. She dung o vicious phrase ot him and passed out of the building. Sawyer went to the telephone booth and called up his wife's lawyers. "Tell Mrs, Sawyer that her suit will not be contested," he said. "This is James Sawyer speaking." He went home to his lonely apart* ment It was three months since his wife had found out about Miss Eaton and left him. But Miss Baton was only the last of a long series of loves. Sawyer sat down and began thinking. Ho had been married eighteen years. Af ?rst he and Marian had loved each other, but that was when he was a flfteon-dollar. clerk and thoy had a three-room apartment uptown. Those days seemed vory fair to look back upon now. Ho had been happier with hor there than at any time afterward when they lived In luxury. Thoy had been so fond of Tom, tholr only child -Toni who had turned out bad and disappeared years bgforo. That had severed tho last bond be tween them. Sawyer lind been sur prised whon Marian left him. Ho had not thought that she would mind about Miss Kntou. Ho lind even thought sho had known. But whnt a fool a man was to follow false lures I Ho sat alone In his study.' The servants were expecting notice, thoro was only the man and man relation ship botweon them now. Ho hod al ways known there was hate beneath tho ninn's smooth exterior. Well, thero Was only ono thing for lt A tuan could not live alone, and Sawyer had not even a dog. Ho opened a little drawer In his desk, took out something shining-some one was in the hull, ne replaced lt hastily. Tho door opened. Marian stood In tho room. Sho carno forward. "You're ruined, Jim?" "Tlint'e right, Marian. I've told Heath * Hodges not to contest your suit. I'm sorry It'll hove to go so hard with you." Mudan came slowly toward him. Her Mps trembled. "And I-I've told Heath & Hodges ?not to proceed," sho sold. "Oh, my dear, my dear,, let mo comfort you!" She kneeled nt lils side. "Let us forgive each other." sho whispered. "When trouble comes whom should I stand by but you? I've failed, too, failed you in my love. We've got what we deserved. Do y_ou remember tho \ STRATEGY OF LEE EMPLOYED Marshal r*ooh Saya If General Wat Traitor He Wishes France Had More of Them, ; - It is hardly to be wondered at that tho greatest soldier of the Twentieth century should take occasion to pay his tribute of admiration and affection to tho memory of one of tho really great commanders of modern times, a soldier whose military genius wus equaled only by the purity of hts~ pur pose and tlie splendor, of his charac ter, says the Louisville Courier-Jour nal. Soldler-llke, Marshal Foch employs few words In answering the anouy moiss "American Patriot" who had telegraphed him at a Virginia town that Itobert E. Lee was a traitor. "If Gen. Robert E. Lee was a trai tor," said the morshal of Franco, "Na poleon Bonaparte was a coward. If General Lee was a traitor, I wish Franco had moro of them. He was one of the grcntcst military leaders tho world hos ever known." In winning the World war, Ferdin and Foch leaned henvHy upon the shoulder of Robert E. Leo. It was "tho sword of Lee" that flashed on every battlefield lu Franco from the first battle of tho Mamo to Armistice doy. Leo's strategy, revived and employed first by Joffre and later by Foch? held I the Hun along tho French front, swift I to attack again, until at length Hie Hindenburg lino was pierced and the enemies,of civilization sued for peaco. In his estimate of Lee, Marshal Foch takes his stand beside Viscount Wolseley, of England, who declared that Lee was "the greatest soldlor given to the world since the days of Marlborough."
