BAPTIST MESSENGER—THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1924
MT. RUHAMA BAPTIST.
The pastor, C. M. Roberson, will
preach Sunday (November 16th.)
The church work at this point is
moving along in a very pleasing
way. They have one of the best
Sunday schools in all that section.
The Women’s work is making fine
progress. The campaign objects are
being taken care of, and it is a joy
for them to give to Missions and
benevolent object. Those on the sick
list are Brother D. IJ. Abemethy
and Mrs. Drum, (Paul’s) mother.
W'e hope to hear soon that they are
better.

■ was a, faithful member till death.’

er, ten brothers, and one sister and

hearts go out in sympathy to the
bereaved family.
Those attending the funeral from

Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Hilton, Mrs.
A. L. Ervin, Mrs. Roy Drum, Mrs.

The story of the ancient Israel
ite is that when the tithe of his
flocks was taken, the sheep were
placed in a pen and were let out
one at a time. The tellers stood
by the exit and every tenth sheep
as it passed out was separated from
the others and marked for Jeho
vah. This marking was done by a
rod in the hands of the teller, the
end of the rod being previously dip
ped in Vermillion. In this way
originated thep roverb, “passing un
der the rod.” In one sense all pass
ed under the rod, but every tenth
member of the flock received the
stamp or sign which marked it
henceforth as devoted to sacred uses.
The d^sh of the vermillion showed
that it had been set apart for the
service of the Lord.
