A banker whoso hobby was wearing good
clothes
Got a shock one day, as though struck by a
stone,
When he found that one of his humblest clerks
Was wearing a suit like Ins own.
Now the banker had paid $40.0® more,
And it mortified him and made him feel sore,
That a clerk who was thrifty could buy for
eight-fifty
A suit like his own at our store.
Its folly for any man, however
fastidious, to pay a high price now
for clothes. We intend to do the
clothing business of Gaffney and
invite you to call and in
spect our high grade stock

THE GOSPEL AT
FIRST BAPTIST.
Rev. A. C. Cree Preached His
Initial Sermon Sunday.
ELABORATE DISCOURSE.
Mr. Cree Laid Special Stress Upon the
Fact That >Ve Must all Work Together
to Accomplish any Great Knd, Each Do
ing His l*art—Biographical Sketch.
Rev. A. C. Cree, who has been
called to the pastorate of the First
Baptist church at this place, arrived
in the city Saturday and is stopping
with Dr. and Mrs. 8. B. Crawley.
Sunday morning he preached his in
itial sermon at the First church,
where he was greeted by a large,
fashionable and appreciative audience
from the city and from Limestone.
Mr. Cree’s text was from John 9:4
"We must work the works of Him
that sent me, while it is day: the
night cometh when no man can work.”
Mr. Cree introduced his sermon
with the suggestion that one bond of
sympathy between Christ ^nd the
mass of humanity, that is frequently
overlooked in our estimate of His
life anl character, is the fact that He
was of the working class. Work was
the keynote of His life from the day
in the temple when He said: ’‘Wist
ye not that I must be about my
father’s business?” throughout His
earthly career, until He uttered those
triumphant words upon the cross, ‘‘It
is finished.”
He first discussed the individual
Christian in his relation to the work
of Christ’s kingdom, showing that in
the pronoun “we” Christ brought
REV. ARCHIBALD CUNNINGHAM CREE.
His followers under the s&me obliga
tion that rested upon himself. Many
Christians do not realize this obliga
tion in the ordinary events of life.
They would be willing to do some
thing great. They are waiting to kill
Goliaths and in waiting lose precious
opportunities of being faithful shep
herd-boys. He who only waits will
do nothing but wait; eternity will
dawn and find him waiting. The
greatest achievments have been
brought to pass by the combination
of many small forces. This is seen
in history. Jerusalem’s wall was re
built by every Israelite doing bis
part. This great country of ours was
redeemed from the wild forest by
each sturdy emigrant doing his part.
The greatest battles have been won
by the blood and heroism of the rank
and file. This is seen in nature.
Each spring bud does its part in
clothing the earth with a garment of
green and in tyrn each dewdrop and
each sunbeam. So, if Christ’s king
dom is a triumph, it depends not on
the preachers and officers, but on the
rank and file—each individual.
Next he discussed the obligation.
There was no question as to this in
our Lord’s mind. It was ‘‘His meat
to do the will of Him that sent Him,
and in the darkest hour of His life He
cried “Not as I will, but as Thou
wilt.” ‘‘Let this mind be in you,
which was also in Christ Jesus.” To
His disciples Christ said, ‘‘Seek ye
first the kingdom of God;” and to
God He said of I^is disciples, ‘‘As
Thou hast sent me into the world,
even so have I also sent them into
the world.” To this end are our
souls cultivated and empowered by
the Holy Spirit. Hence our obliga
tion.
Then he showed the nature of the
work—‘‘the work of Him that sent
me—’’the extension of God’s king
dom in the world; and the time for
the work, ‘‘while it is day.” “Time
and tide wait for no man.” Oppor
tunity has a forelock, but is bald be
hind. ‘‘Carpe diem, venit nox.” The
only promise of the gospel, with re-
gord to opportunity, is for today.
He gave as his closing thought the
thought of how much power and how
mighty the power in a congregation
of God’s people, if they would only
* apply it. God has wrought great
things through His people in the
past. He will work greater in the
future. Judson after seven years of
labor in Burma wUhout a single con
version wrote ''Tnh outlook for Bur
ma is as bright as the promises of
God.” This Mr. Cree declared to be
the promise for the future of Christ’s
kingdom as written upon the face of
of today.
The following sketch of Mr. Cree
was sent us by one of his classmates:
Archibald Cunningham Cree was
horn at Innerleithen, I’eebleshire,
Scotland, at the foot of the Ihistoric
Beribick’s Hills, on March 9, 1872.
While yet a boy, he moved with his
father’s family to London, England,
whore ■young Cree was educated at
the Government School and at St.
Mark’s college. During the summer
of 1888 the family emigrated to the
United States and settled in North
Carolina. In 1898 he entered Wake
Forest college, where he graduated
in 1898 with the degree of M. A.
Long before this time he had de
cided upon his life work and had
been fitting himself for the ministry.
During his college career he was pas
tor of Apex, Aberdeen, Carthage and
Southern Pines Baptist churches, all
in North Carolina. In October, 1898,
he went to Louisville, Ky., to take a
course in the justly celebratid South
ern Baptist Theological S. ininary,
and last year was a member of the
graduating class, taking the degree
of Th. M., taking the regular three
year’s course in two years, but he re
mained at the seminary to take the
post-graduate Doctor’s degree. He
upects to leave Gail’ney and return
to the seminary about the first of !
May for the purpose of completing
this course. For the past year, in
addition to the duties of the seminary
course, he his been very successful
as pastor of the First Baptist church
at Campbellsville, Ky,, which charge
he has resigned in order to accept
the work in Gaffney.
Mr. Cree comes from a family of
preachers and so inherits the oratori
cal gifts as well as spiritual inclina
tions. He is a worthy scion of Scotch
Presbyterian stock. His father, un
cle, and two paternal grand-uncies
preceded him in the ministry. Mr.
Cree is a speaker of no mean ability,
To him, while still in his sophomore
year at Wake Forest, fell the distin
guished honor of being chosen to
represent his society in the annual
contestant honor never before having
been conferred upon a sophomore. In
his classes his record has always
been high, and he has been a favor
ite everywhere he has been known.
Great things are predicted for him in
his future life, and the writer hereof
hopes that the greater part of this
life will be spent hi his present pas
torate.
W’e welcome Mr. Cr^e to Gaffney
and hope that his stay in our midst
will be mutually pleasant and that it
will result in much goad.
A Story With a Moral.
Some time ago we placed a notice
in our ‘‘Want” column requesting
a copy of The Ledger of a certain
date. Copies of the issue asked for
began to come in a few hours after
the papers containing the notice had
left the office, and they continued to
come from all parts of the country
until we gave notice that we had
more than we wanted.
Recently we received a copy of
that particular issue from Manila, in
the far-away Philippine Islands, to
gether with a note saying: “Ir>
compliance witli request in Ledger.”
The moral in this is too plain to
need comment.
Only Two Otr<‘ii<lorft.
There were or ly two cases in the
mayor’s court yesterday morning.
Both were plain drunk and both paid
their fines of three-fifty and three-
seventy, respectively. There seems
to have been an unusual amount of
drinking Saturday night; hut the
drinkers, as a general thing, were
quiet and orderly and, consequently,
were not pulled by the police.
MUlioiia Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the
public to know of one concern in the
land who are not afraid to be gener
ous to the needy and suffering. The
proprietors of Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds, have given away over ten
million trial bottles of this great
medicine; and have the satisfaction
of knowing it has absolutely cured
thousands of hopeless cases. Asth
ma, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and all
diseases of the Throat, Chest and
Lungs are surely cured by it. Call
on Cherokee Drug Company, Drug
gists, and get a free trial bottle.
