CHRISTIANS WILL PAY DEBTS
Evangelist nam Would Torn Out
Church Members Who Don't.
A Newbern dispatch of the 1.5th,
says:
Evangelist John W. Ham, who Is
conducting a great revival meeting
here under the auspices of-the Taber
nacle Baptist Church, Is "of the opin
ion that a man who does not pay hlj
debts has- no business being a mem
ber of the church and should be turn
ed out. A few days ago the evange
list handed out a few hot ones to the
merchants .who sell Various ' dope
"drops", which he claimed are worse
than liquor. In answer to this charge
one local merchant wrote a letter to
the Newbern 'Journal -r.In which he
stated that If the evangelist wasted
the merchants to quit selling dope ho
should ufge church members to pay
their bills and then the merchants
would not be forced to sell dope and
cited one case where a member of a
certain church owed him $40.
;Mr. Ham is responsible for the
statement that if this merchant will
gjve him the name of the man owing
i$e money he will see that he pays
the bul or else see that he is turned
-
out of the church.

dition which does not hare to be pro

Already, the truly regenerate are one
In Chriat, being baptiied by the Spirit
Into the body of which our Lord is the
head. But this onenecs Is to be

'and purpose. This realization would.
' certainly do away with some of the
outward divisions among Chrlatlanj,
but the point of tnaistence Is the ln--

". - Ntedful Graces.
Several graces are mentioned la.
the text which win greatly assist to- -warda
the goal of unity.
"Lowliness- comes first. This Is a -dlstinctirely
Chriatian grace, for.
while the pagans recognized It as right
when necessary, they felt It was not
good la-it elf. But our very exalta
tion "la Chriat is to "beget In us' the
lowly'splrlt: the apostle has Just been
speaking of our high calling when
ha turns to exhort us to lowliness.
Drummond says that touchiness Is '
conceit with a hair trigger. . What
a stepping-stone to unity, then, Is low
liness. - ;
Next comes "meekness." This Is
submission both to God and men,
grounded la humility of spirit. Meek- .
ness does not press Its claims, yet Is
a most powerful grace. Founding an
iceberg with mighty hammers leaTes
It undisturbed, but a warm current
surely dlssolres It; so the soft an
swer turns away "wrath. What a lu
bricant for the wheels of church life
Is meekness! . .
Bat meekness Is to be not only meek
but "long-suffering. This Is long-
mlndednoss, as oppoaed to "abort
temper." It Is akla to the unweary
ing patience of God.'
"Forbearing one -another la lore.
This is aaactlTo manifestation of long
suffering, allowing for the frailties and
mistakes - of others, eTea when they
.wound us This caa be done because
w wish them well and love .them.
This grace' enables us to take sides
even against ourselvea, and we ah art
need it, even la dealing with Chris
tlans, for not all of these are per
fect!. . - - ;
"Ths Quaktr and the "Organ. . ".
The. value . of . this, grace la", the
preservation. ct. unity is exhibited la
a quaint Incident Some years ago it -was
proposed to purchase aa orgaa
for a Friends meeting house la a cer
tala town la Ohio.. This was atrongly
opposed by aa aged Quaker, for the .
use of musical Is strain eats was not'
so common among the Friends as.it
is today. In spite of his opposition,
however, the orgaa was Installed." The
ao!d man did not stay away from meeW
'lag. but the organ was evidently a
great cross to him. Finally, the min
ister called upon. him and the follow
ing conversation took place:
"Friend.' said the minister, "thee
seems grieved - at the orgaa la the' .
meeting.
- "I cannot- teH thee how grieved X
am. was the reply. ' r
-Well." continued the minister, "If
thee feels that wsy about it, I will
-take the orgaa out of the meeting;
house with my own hands.
No, no," demurred the old man, "If
thee feels that way about it, let it'
stay - ,
And it did stay, while the unity of
the Spirit was kept la the bond oC
peace. . . - -. ' "
Workers Under .Georfie MueJIer.
The proper maintenance of unity. Is
well illustrated la .the work of George
Mueller, founder of the orphanage at '
Bristol, England. v RepresentatlTes of .
afl the evangelical, churches were
found la his large force of teachers,"
yet 'a beautiful spirit of unity pre
vailed. - Mr- Mneller tells us that when
he 'first, saw certain truths he was
disposed to .stand aloof from. . those .
who saw them not., But this did sot, .'
result la peace, and -Joy, end" he sbca
came to "a better mind, for he recalled
that only by God's grace was he glvea '
to see truth. . -
