BROTHER HOLDFAST H AHDCAKH U "Types of the Times" by Kiv. (ieo. K. I'ettigrew in Haptittt Courier. J 'l4his is the brothel With the bump of ecquisitiveness abnormally develop ed. 'His force, and he is man of force, is nil and always centripetal. He is* the original sponge. When u dollar parks in his hutuls it promptly retires from circulation. After cease less wandering, it has reached homo at last, and Brother Hardcash rocks iWo sleep every night to the tune, "Abide with me." Yet it was not always so. He once parted with money freely enough in exchange for stocks1 and bonds and other securities ? also for houses and lands. Whatever promised good re turns enlisted his interest and then he invested its interest as a matter of principle. He tried to corner all the best bonds in sight and at one time seriously considered the bonds of matrimony; but as they bore no cou pons he knew he would lose interest and so- ? \>e never married. Deprecating boundary disputes and neighbors, he started out to buy up all the land adjoining his properties; but he found that there were diffi culties in the way. So he decided to take the best only and that at bar gain prices. He has enough tax re ceipts to stuff his pillows and mat tress with, and guards them as jeal ously as if they were greenbacks, vintage of 1923, A man of eminent respectability, ho is a church member and occasionally attends public worship, though he views the contribution plate with strong disapproval as an unnecessary evil bordering on blackmail. A spec ial drive for a religious paper or for Christian benevolence he frowns upon as a criminal conspiracy to separate him from his mnney, and he responds in a manner and measure to discour age such perversions of religion. How can a mail worship with any satisfac tion when his pious meditations over next week's business are rudely in terrupted by an appeal for money? The secret closet for him next Sun day and every succeeding Sunday till the church folks begin to realize that salvation is free. All this talk about missions is misplaced. The heathen need to hear it and not the folks here at home. They: know all about it. As to state missions, why the state can take care bf its own business, and the church has no right- to interfere. And why then should they be after him to take the defiolminati^jhal paper he is at loss to understand' He cah't read all the papers he takes now, and why should he take apother? The daily paper gives him the news of the world of trade; the lodge paper keeps him in touch with the fraternal world, and the county paper informs him of the sayings and doings of the local world; Why in the world should he pay for still another paper? What other world is he concerned in ? :aome two dollars' worth at that? Xhis argument floored the budget committee as it knocked the breath out of them, but the chairman retired with thfe parthian shot: "Ephraim is wedded to his idols: leave him alone." Later: Great tidings from the First church of Hardcashville! Brother Hardcash had a dream. In the dark hours of the night while deep sleep held him prisbner, a strong visi tant appeared and tempted him with a great bargain in land ? a small tract surprisingly cheap. Eagerly rising, Mister Hardcash was conducted to the churchyard, where his conductor proudly displayed an open grave, set off by a monument in the form of a golden calf. <(You can buy it at a bargain," said the ghostly ' guide. From force of habit Hardcash's white lips formed the question: "For how much?" The stranger smiled grimly. "You mean how little. The price is Your Soul. That you have held cheao est of all your possessions; and that is all you will have to part with to acquire this fine piece of improved property. Read the inscription." Shudderingly, Hardcash approached and read: Sacred to the Memory of Hold fast Hardcash. He was faithful to his god in ? life* and in death they were not parted. When the sleeper awoke he dressed as he did in his boyhood when he know there were pancakes for break fast. Yet he Spent a few moments on his knees. Hushing out to the street, he ran into the church treasurer. With a slap on the back that rattled his teeth, he sAntr out the greeting: "Ain't you glad you're living!" Stun ned more by the mental shock than the body-blow, the treasurer stam mered out: ''Don't excite yourself, sir. Is there anything wrong?" <4There was, but ther ain't. Gimme a blank check. I believe you all been trying to raise some church funds. Here, take that. Maybe it will help out a little." Ttie treasurer took the? (ttrtrcfcvfct:mr ed at it and gasped: "Are you sure There i^nothlng the mailer, air 7" "Not a thing. Yes, there is top: that check's too small. We'll just double it. There! - Now it's rights as a trivet. Apply part of it to put The Baptist Courier on the church budget. It oughter been there long ago. The folks need information, that's what they need. I got some last night, but I don't want any more of thai sort, I saw what the good Lord sees when he looks at me, He'll sec a different man hereafter, so help me!" 11c was as good as his word. Scrooge and Martey, GrutT and TaC klcton have been outdone. And if we can just get all our pull-back forces harnessed up thus to the right about, the denominational chariot will break the speed limit. , Not To Remove Oglethorpe's Body. Cranham, Kngland, Oct: 10 -Gen eral Oglethorpe, founder of the stato of Georgia, like the Indiajn Princess Pocahontas and his more distant and remote precursor, Tut-ankh-Apien, is to remain in his original burying place. Yielding to British public opin ion, which had almost reached the point of unanimity, l)r. ThornweH Jacobs, president of Oglethorpe uni versity, today abandoned his project to transport the Georgian hero'^ ashes to America. The hue and cry raised throughout England that Americans desired to take possession of the bones of Eng land's distinguished dead, as well as its most prized art objects and reli quaries, is thus silenced. At Baptist Church. Sunday. Camden has many things of great interest. History has secured her name for all time. In turning the pages of history will the reader be caused to note any greatness of a religious nature in t.he life of Cam den ? Sermon subjects nt the Baptist church for Sunday, October 28th, will be: 11a. m.? "What makes a great church?" 8 p. m.? "What does a great church make?" * J. J. J. ? , MASTERS' SALE.
