. 'I - 1 i . 1 ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR HENDERSONVILLE' N'. 0.; THURSDAY, JANUARY 81, 1907. VOL. .XVI NO. 5 Xtx o COMM. YARNER REPLIES. Answers Criticisms of News and Observer's Greensboro Corres- pondent Concerning Report ed Conditions In Guilford County. N Referring to the objection of the News and Observer's Greensboro cor respondent, in a recent communication,' to reported conditions of Guilford coun ty along certain iines. appearing in the department report for 1905. J Commis sioner Varner, of the 'Bureau of Labsr and Printing, said yesterday. "The matter complained of refers di rectly and exclusively to 'the condition of farmers' tn chapter one of our report and the conclusions were reached by reference to reports sent in by the farm ers themselves. Our tabulations are made from blanks prepared for the pur pose of ascertaning the condition of the laboring classes who work on the farm, and contain questions regarding their moral, educational and financial stand in;. These blanks are sent out to a list of farmers in each county, selected by the chairman of the two political, par ties, who fill them out and return to the department with the information re quested correctly stated as we presume The results arrived at represent the opinion of a majority of the farmers ad dressed in the county from which they report and the personal opinion ot the commissioner does not enter into the calculations at all. For instance: If five farmers report from a certain coun ty and three of them say the value of land has decreased, that county is en tered in the report as showing a decrease in the value of land. The same basis is observed in arriving at the 'other re sults of the table, and it is doing the de partment and injustice to hold it res ponsible for the views of correspon dents. Reports from the farmers of each county are on file in the depart ment of statistics in this office and may be seen by any one who doubts the ac curacy of the matter set forth in he published report, or feels aggrieved be cause the showing of his county is not what he thinks it ought to be. " "It is not the purpose of the depart ment to do any county an injustice. Naturally, favorable reports are always preferable, but it is not within the pro vince of this department to do other than gather and compile; statistics and, as I have already said the private opin ion of neither the commissioner or his assistants has anything to do with the results obtained from an inspection of the reports sent in by the people them selves. I have so far refrained from making a public explanation concern ing the objections made by the Guilford people, because I do not pare to make possible any reason or excuse for re flecting upon the opinion of our farmer friends in that county, who doubtless gave the information requested in good faith and to the best of their knowledge and belief. I explained the matter to your correspondent and also to a numb er of other reputable gentlemen in Greensboro and High Point, when on a personal vist to those places last fall, and must confess a surprise at the recent insinuation that the commissioner of la bor and printing has done the county of Guilford an injustice and persistently refuses to make correction. All of those good people who know me are fully aware that I have only the kindest feeling for their county and her entire citizenship. And while I have personally explained this item of last year's report to every one who mention ed the matter to me, I have deemed it advisable to disregard the criticisms of "knockers," whose motives were doubt less more political or personal, than pat riotic."

The following is the full text of a ser mon preached' by ; Rev. Lu A. Cooper during his recent revival services here. It is an interesting and timely discussion of "Santiflcation," a theory much dis cussed in 'this community just now." - - For this is the will of God even your sanctification' 1 Thess. 4:3 This is a subject which needs more serious thought and careful study than it has received at the hands of many of God's dear children. . Borne without looking to see what the Bible really teaches, have been led to make extreme claim? for themselves. Others make entirely too little of the matter. - Let us try and fitd what the Word really says on the eubjsct. What is sanctification? To sanctify means t set apart as holy or for holy purposes. Sanctification mean 3 the act or pro cess of sanctifying or the state of being sanctified. From these definitions, and from a reference to all the verses In the Bible on the subject, to sanctify, means in the scripture to set apart for holy pur poses." Sanctification means the condition or state of being set apart and also implies continued action. Sanctification is an act. 1 Thess. 4:3 "For this is the will of God even your sanctification" then the apostle enumerates or specifies some of the things from which he would have them consecrate or separate themselves "That ye abstain from fornications, etc." This separation or sanctification is an act on the part of the individual. The consecration of one's self from that which is unholy to that which is holy. Then a person is sanctified when he is set apart to do the will of God. My brother are you sanctified? Is it your 'desire to do the entire will of God, to forsake known sin? Sanctification is also a condition. . It is living in the state of consecration or separation Aot 20: 32 "and now l commend you to God and to the word of His grace which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all them that are sanctified." Here we find it a condition of life. Some are' living in the state of sanctifi cation. Sanctification is also a process. The believer will find from exper ience now and then some part of him self which is not -'fully under the con trol of God. This then must be yielded to him. This process of finding and yielding will continue through life. 1 Thess- 5i 23 ''And the God of peace sanctify you wholly." Having just written some new truths the apostle . - a r pray9 mat tnose who are oeiore men tioned as sanctified may now be wholly so, that they may step up to a.higher plane and live according to the new light which they have received. So when we have yielded to do the will of God, and when we are living thus from day to day, the Holy spirit will reveal to us new truths When we see tnem we must step up ana practise them; so up and up he leads. Sanctification then U an act by which the believer is, t apart for holy living and the service of G d; it also includes a life based on this principle of separ ation from tne world ana ooeaience to God, it is the daily surrender of all known sin, the constant desire and pur pose to do God '8 will as the spirit guides us into it. Having looked to see what sanctifi cation is let us next ask. How is sanctification accomplished? .We will look first at tbe God-ward side- Banctification is of God the Father. 1 Thess. 5:23 "And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly." . It is through Christ Heb. 10: 10 "By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all" see also Heb. 10: 14 and 13: 12. It is by the sprit Rom. 15: 16. "That the offering up of the gentiles might be-made acceptable being sancti" fied by the Holy sprit" and also Pet. 1: 2 'In sanctification of the spirit.'' The instrument the Word John 17: 17 "sanctify them in the truth thy word is truth" In Eph h: ze we have the same idea. " Now we look at the man-ward side, and find that sanctification is the resul of the choice of the individual. God's sovereignty and mans free agency working together Rom. 6: 19 last clause 7 - "Even so nowr present your members as servants to righteousness unto sancti fication? '"' .. - ,' The surrender of the entire being to God to be sanctified one must be by the Grace of God, under the blood, led by "H E N you are., that, ready for "next lot of letter- heads, or, envelopes, or or anything else cards, in that line, why not call us up, No. Six, and let us v submit a few prices and vsamples?4 v We can save vyouy money, every time, jmd as to the quality, ; 'Veil, your money back if hot completely satisfied! The Hustler Print Shop Next th Blue Ridge Inn the spirit, taught by the word, yielded to God. i ' What may we expect as the result of sanctification? . First abstinence from former sins. 1 Thess. 4: 3uFor this is the will of God even your sanctification that ye abstain from fornication." 4.v"s . In 1 Cor 1: 2 the saaetified are ad dressed and in 1: 10 " Paul urges the factions unite. In ch. 6: 9 10 there is a long catalog of sins and in the" II verse we read "such were some of you but ye were washed,ye were sanctified." The sanctified are expected to lay aside the sins of their former lives, to be done with them. Another result to be looked for is Holiness of life. 1 Thess. 4: 3.7 "For this is the will of God even your sancti fication that ye should abstain from fornication; that every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sancti fication, honor; that no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter; because that the Lord is the avenger of all "such as we also have forewarned you and testified. For God hath not called; us unto unclcanness lut unto holiness" ; Rom 6: 2 "But now. being made free from sin and become servants to God ye have your fruit onto holiness and the end everlasting lile." This holiness is not absolute. It is living up to one's present light. Blamelessness of life. To see the cor rectness of this statement we look at Horn. 8: 2 "For the law of the sprit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of 6in and death" 1 Thess. 5: 23 "And the very God of peace sanc tify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be pre served blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." The Jaw of the spirit for the sanctified life is that in thoughv.PurPse am deed we shall live blamelessly before God, able with Paul to say "I know nothing against myself.'' There Is a wonderful difference be tween blamelessness and sinlessness. No'eradication is taueht here. Tbe law of gravitation is that when a steel filing is let loose it shall fall to the ground , but if you hold the filing in one hand and a magnet in the other the filing does not fall but goes to the magnet. The old law is not done away but a new and stronger has been formed which gains bupremacy over the old. The old, ever present but the new ever victorious; notice that Paul does not say free from sin but free from the law of sin. And this does not mimify God it rather magnifies him for it takes greater power to keep U3 victorious when the old law is ever present that it would to eradicate it. A third result of sanctification is Preparedness for seryice. 11 Tim. 2: 21 "If a man purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour sanctified and meet for the masters use, prepared unto every good worfc." Notice that according to God's plan you are not ready until first you are sanctified. In conclusion Sanctification is a cri sis and also a process. Some have put too much emphasis on the crisis, by so doing they have caused others to put the emphasis on the process. This lat ter class is represented, by an over whelming majority of Christians. . Now mark you there can be no pro cess until there has been a crisis. Has there come a time in our expeiience when our lives were wholly separated to e service of God? Are we being 'ed by the Spirit? Are we following his leadings? Can he appeal to a con" soiei.ee that is enlightened by the word of God? "Have we forsaken the sins of our former life? Are we living blame less lives? Have we put everything, at his feet; life, loved ones, property time, powers, body, soul and spirit? Are you yielded to God to do his will? "ye are . not your own ye are bought with a price" I beseech you therefore lvTv'7 - V brethren by the mercies of God that ye present your bodies .a living sacrifice hoiy, acceptable unto God which is your reasonable service." Finally then brethen we beseech and exhort you in the Lord JesusiT that as ye received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, even as ye do walk that ye abound more and more."'! Thess. 4:1. -. '. ; In the Jamaica Earthquake. The following account of the great Jamaica disaster, by W. D. Justus, who has many friends and relatives in Henderson county, will be of interest. Mr. Justus was down there selling bib les. ' ' '. ; v., ' ; . Mr. Editor: We were in Kingston on one of the main streets when the awful earthquake oecured; we came out safe and alive, just why we were saved 1 do not know I nly gotjone little skinned place on my knee and a brick cut one of my shoe strings into and bruised my foot, my friend Mr. E. Ball only got one little scratch. We were in a drink stand, I was drinking a bottle of cream soda, Mr.. Ball was waiting for me at the door, he said come on and stepped out on the street, for one instant he had disappeared on the out side when suddenly I found myself going towards the door; for what reason I left my drink and ran to the door I do not know unless it was to pursue after him; as I was about to put my foot on the street (for they have no sidewalks in Kingston,) I heard that most awful noise and felt the bricks begin sweeping by my head like shells from a cannon.l kept on going for about ten feet until I got between the street car track. I then braced myself there until it was all over. The brick dust was eo thick I could not &ee or hardly breath for some time but my next thought of course was to look for Ball. He evidently had been twenty or thirty feet down the street from me but had had the same presence of mind and got into.the middle of the street; be tween him and I was about three dead people, besides the ones inside of the buildings which were buried alive. had turned around two or three times looking for him, when suddenly he came to me face to face and we shoot hands as if we had not met before in many a day. But te think we were there among thousands of poor dying souls and both well and sound. The bricks from the buildings were all In one pile on top of the people and soon the wounded ones were cremated which was yet more dis tressing than if they had been killed outright. The fire was awful for one night, but as providence would have it the wind changed and stopped that part of it just before day light. But back to my story. Well, our boarding bouse was about five blocks away and we pull ed out to find our way as best we could We started up the usual way, which was King street, and found it blocked and all on fire, so we had to go around some two or three blocks. Finally after scrambling over bricks, wrecked street cars, automobiles, wagons, dead people, dead horses, and crazy people we found our boarding house still standing be cause it was a frame building and fur ther upon the hill. Every thing In side the building however was turned upside down. The lady of ' the house was gone and only the young lady that stayed with her was at home. The lady of the house was shopping and soon came in. We thought the fire was coming, so Ball and I got our two' suit cases witn our overcoats on our arms and started for the hills, of course leav ingourtruuk behind. Well, we went a distance of two miles and I assure you that we were not alone for that street being the only one leading: direct to the mountains of refuge, every person that was able made a bee line for that street. To make a long. story short we slept on the'ground that night. Our overcoats served us well but one cf . those good natives added to our comfort by handing us his own bed and pillows and he simp ly slept by our side on one quilt. Dur ing the night we felt eight good heavy shocks and I think we slept long enough to miss feeling maybe one or two. We had just been talking of going over to Port Royal, in fact ad started and turned back when the shock came. Port Royal was in sight of Kingston be fore she was sunk but now you have to go over to her by row boat and look straight down to see her, she was sunk during an earthquake in 1694, and you can see the steeples and tops of the houses under the water yet. Do you wonder at our being frightened when we expected every minute to see her begin falling beneath the surface of the wat er or to be met with a tidal wave and hurled for miles out into the ocean. Tuesday morning was fair and we were in very good shape as our good comrade had made us some cocoa and served us, aa it were, out of his own. mouth. We at once started for the wharf, hoping, to find some relief, which we did. " One of the piers were ia very good shape and some English vessals standing there were used as a hospital. The Dock house was also used as a hospital and they were carrying them away from there in ferryboats by the1 dozens tobury theia in the sea. I 'shall never forget the shrieks that went up towards Heav en that morning when there was h er earthquake. Those poor i 3 people . thought the whole-y was sinking in addition to the Well we went aboard that W. . jssel and got some coffee in ' Jj.' ; nice lunch. But in about one ' 1'om the time we went do wn to ' & vt we were two of the happlesv -live for we saw this dear boat that, ye are now on the Ad miral Sampson coming. I hearing the news of relief by the stars and stripes floating-high, in the air, 'not haying enough money safe in our pockets, the captain made us laugh by telling us we could go to America anyway. . W. D. Justice. E III TAXES The following bill was ihtrp duced in the House last Saturday providing for a debt for the coun ty of riot over $12,000. It ib en titled an act to authorize the com missioners to consolidate and re fund the, floating debt of the county. . It states the debt was incurred thro maintaining the chain gang, for iron bridges, re taining walls on court house and improving grounds-, and for other necessary expenses. It empowers tha commissioners to1 consolidate and refund thefloat ing, not bonded, debt, and allow s them to issue claims or script not exceeding $12,000, to bear interest not over 6 per cent. The commissioners shall at the June meeting and aunually there- rafter for three years levy a special tax upon all the. taxable property and polls of the county in an a mount not exceeding thirty cents on the hundred dollars worth of property and ninety cents on the poll. " Re o tor says the bill was sent him by O. V. F. Blythe, who rep resents the county commissioners. Looks like the board is in distress and wishes the legislature to help pull its chestnuts out of the fire. It would seem in better taste for the measure to be approved by the finance- committee, if there be a necessity for it at all. The matter has been held up for fur ther information, at the instance of Senator Ballenger, and if there is opposition to its passage the same will please assert itself at once. S.

Their leader Is a man named Jean Val Jean that was a thief, but got con verted and turned out well. The Hugo nots are very good people. A lady named Evangeline wrote a long poem about them, but it don't rhyme.' "The Huguenots is the name of a big thing like a steam roller that the mo gul used in India to run over' people. It squoshed them to death and wa very terrible. It had eyes painted on It like a dragon and snorted steam when it was running. They are ne huguenots enny more." John Bright and Lord Manners. In one of his speeches in the house of commons John Bright quoted In a spirit of banter and ridicule the well known lines written by Lord John Manners in his callow youth: - Let wealth and commerce, laws and learn ing' die. But leave us still our old nofcillty.
