FEW WORDS ABOUT THE BIBLE.
It Is More Than a Book, Says Rev.
J- T. Olive.
Dear Editor:—l want to write some- (
thing about the Bible, and I hope that ■
what I say will be remembered by •
all who read it or may hear it read.
First I want to ask, what is the Bible ?
Someone will say, why it is a book, :
°n 9° urse * Well, so it is. But is that (
all. No, not by. any means. It is (
God s word, and it is our guide from
earth to Heaven.
Now, then, if that be so, and it is,
why do people treat it like they do.
Now if a soul was in heaven and the
Bible would go and say to him: “Soul, i
follow men and I will lead you out.”
Would it not follow if it could? Os
course it would. If it was the only !
chance of getting out of hell it would ,
surely follow that Bible.
Do it ncfvv. We know full well that \
by following it, through it and obey
ing it we can be saved from hell. Oh, ;
now stubborn-hearted some folks are
against the Bible —their only guide '
to heaven and without it they cannot
get to heaven. It was through love
that God gave us the Bible. God
gave His only begotten Son that all
who would believe on Him might not
perish but have everlasting life. We
can but realize what the Bible really
is, yet so many people are so careless
and unconcerned about it.
Martha was like a great many peo
ple of the present day. She seemed
to love Jesus. But Mary sat at His
feet and heard His word. We are re
sponsible for the reading and study
ing of God’s word and how we teach
it to others. Some may say I will not
teach it at all. Suppose you go to
torment and find some there because
you did not tell them about the Bible.
God says their blood shall be required
at your hands.
Though Ibe persecuted, yet by
God’s help, I am determined to preach
and teach it until I leave this old
world. I trust that I'will meet many
souls in heaven that I have been in
strumental in saving.
1 In my travels I find many that say
they are church members, but when
confronted by Bible truths that do not
and cannot answer them. Consistent
members of God’s church cannot be
found at the stores drinking bottled
drinks and saying it is no harm. In
stead of being* a light to lead sinners
to Christ, they are a hindrance. They
are stumbling blocks and hindering
causes that they pretend to be mem
bers of. Now what does God say in
Revelations what He will do with
them?
There’s going to be an awakening
sometime. We may be assured that
sinners and hypocrites are going to
persecute us whether we deserve it
or not, but it is our duty by God’s
help to do all we can for him, if «we
are persecuted falsely for Christ’s
sake. He says in the Bible that we are
persecuted falsely for Christ’s sake
He says in the Bible that we are
blessed. We need to be more watch
ful and prayerful all the time. That
is one thing that Christ meant when
He spoke of the man building his
house on the sand without a founda
tion. But he that is born of God is he
that stands on the rock of Christ and
in the time of trials he stands firm.
The Bible has been preached so
long until men will say they want to
hear the old time gospel preached to
them. There is no old gospel. It is
as new and sweet as it was in the be
ginning. The more it is preached, the
newer it becomes, and the sweeter it
is to anyone who is sufficiently in
terested.
Brother Christians do not give up
your faith nor hope of heaven for
sometime we will all be together ;with
Him who gave us the Bible because
He loved us. J. T. OLIVE.

THE CHATHAM FAIR.
“I am the fair.”
The Chatham county fair was pri
marily organized for the betterment
of agricultureral, livestock and educa
tional results in Chatham founty.
These objects are being attained, but
the results will come much more ra
pidly and the educational side of the
fair iwill become far more extensive if
every man, woman and child in the
county will take personal interest and
pride in this worthy institution and
say to himself or herself, It’s my fair;
I must be there.
Many say: What is a fair and why?
Let the fair answer for itself in these
sentences.
“I am the fair. I am communty
service. I am the disvorer of lost
talents. I am the key to the door of
self expression and better production.
I bring reinforcements to rescue our
defeated instincts. Through me folks
are drawn together. I am the trump
et that awakens man’s creative in
stinct; I bid the man seize the capa
city of his soul, the woman of her
household, the business man of his
advantages and the child of his op
portunities.
“I thrill them with electric impulse
to realize their own worth, to know
their neighbors, to help their com
munity. lam the realization of glad
ness. J £m the consciousness of life.
I am the spirit of good will am* uni
versal progress; I serve the Commun
ity, I serve you. Thus I serve Amer
ica.
“I am community service—l am the
Fair.”
Now let’s all get together and pu’l
for the biggest and best county fair
for 1923. W. C. YORK, Mgr.
