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
