DR. EDWARDS TO LEAVE. Prominent Young Physician Will Go to Baltimore to Specialize, (Special to The Times.) Siler City, N. C.', Jan. 3 Dr. S. R. Edwards leaves today for Baltimore, Md., where he goes to take a post graduate course at John oHpkins and The University of Maryland. Dr. Edwards will make a specialty of the disease of the: eye, ear, nose and throat. His many ; friends and pa tients, as well in town and the sur rounding country, regret to have him leave, for in his stay here he has ' proven himself to be a learned, able and devoted physician, and a strong man as well. - After taking his academic course at Wake Forest he was graduated in medicine from University of Mary land In 1907 and since that time has enjoyed a large and lucrative prac tice at this place.

RUSSELL, Pastor Brooklyn Tabernacle. Chicago, Jan. 2. Pastor Kusselt ot Brooklyn f Tabernacle, 1 New York, preached here twice today to lsge au- ; dlencea. The Auditorium of world wide celebrity for Its size and excellent acoustics, afforded the Immense audl- j ence a superior opportunity to bear Pastor Russell's discourse in the after- I noon We report his evening discourse based on the foregoing texts. He said: The opening of a New Year Is like the opening of a new ledger. It is a favorable time for determining What should be disposed of in the profit and loss account and for putting into effect resolutions governing the New Year. The fact that thousands of resolutions will be made at this season only to be broken later under the impact of temp tation, should not discourage us from making such resolutions ourselves and advising the course to others. The man or woman who makes no Resolu tions or Vows makes little progress in character-building. Poor, fallen human nature needs all the bands and braces and supports which-a well-directed jvill can give it.,; We are not advocating hasty, and sometimes unreasonable, vows and resolutions and pledges thoughtlessly taken. What, we do ad vocate Is thoughtful, rational sitting down and counting the cost, and then and ; there resolving with the full Strength of tbe character, with the full determination of the mind, to pursue the way 'which deliberate judgment tells one Is the proper course. ; A Christmas Vow or Resolve. , A Christian, like other men, can be benefited by such Resolves to himself, which should be sacredly kept, in pro portion as be respects himself and would be respected. These Resolutions may apply tsj sundry affairs of life his home, bis business, his personal habits, etc. But, when the Christian comes to consider his highest interests, be at once recognizes that they are those by which he is related to bis Creator and his Savior. At the very beginning of his Christian experience, after he, had longed for righteousness and turned from sin; after his eyes had seen Jesus as his Redeemer; after bis ear of faith had beard that be, was reconciled to God through the death of nls Bon and had forgiveness of sins through faith In his blood then came to him the most important moment of his life. For God, through his Word, invited him. to make, a full consecra tion of himself (including every earth ly Interest ,and affair) to the Lord and his service. . ; The proposition, in the language of the Savior, was that he should take up hit crosi and follow Christ; and that as a reward be should have In the present life tribulation from without, but the peace) of the Lord within, and in the future life experience a share In the First Resurrection. That change to glory, honor, Immortality, the Di vine nature, means jolnt-heirship with his Redeemer in bis djreat Office and work as the Mediator between God and the world during the Millennial Age. The terms are clearly stated, self-denial, cross-bearing, service for Christ, faithfulness unto death. The rewards also, as clearly stated, are crowns of life and membership In the Royal Priesthood, a seat with the Lord in his throne, an opportunity of being one of the judges for helping and up lifting mankind during the Millennium. While stating the conditions clearly and distinctly, through his Word the Lord did not urge consecration, but said rather, that each should sit down first and' count the cost. After having counted the cost,' whoever chose to ac cept the proposition tild so by making a Vow unto the Lord a Consecration Vow of full submission the full sur render of the will. This was to the intent that thereafter not only ,'tbe conduct of life, but the words oftfie1 mouth and the meditations Of the heart should be acceptable to the Lord. This comprehensive Vow is symbolized in baptism, which, rightly understood, as explained by St Paul, is a baptism into membership in the Body of Christ (the Church), and this by baptism or immersion "into Christ's death." , Only such as make this Vow are ac cepted at all as members of The Christ. and anointed with the holy Spirit. It is respecting this Vow that St. Paul urges, in the words of our text, "I be seech you, (Justified) brethren, by the mercies of God, that, ye present your bodies living sacrifices, holy, accepta ble to God, and your reasonable serv Iee.'VPWfntWc!i, With the Lord Is entered Into, made secure, by the Vow of Consecration, and the remainder of life Is merely a 'testing of the conse crated one," to determine to what de cree he'really meant the' Vow; to what degree be uses his every endeavor to be dead to the world, dead to self, dead to all earthly things and alive toward God and the interest of the Millennial Kingdom to which he has consecrated himself as a "member" of the Body of the . Mediator of the New Covenant (Jeremiah xxxl( 81; Galatlana, ill, 29). "I Will Pay My Vows." Let no? one lightly undertake a Vow eato the Lord. ' It carries with It weighty responsibilities.. It would be better every way that ' none should fake tee Vow without first understand ing the matter and entering fully info (he spirit of the resolution be make 0O PKESENT mit BOBIES:'; "What SKslI I Render Unto d Loid My Cod For All Hit Benefit! Towudt Me? 1 Will Take the Cap qi Ssh-stioa sad OS Up on die rWof toe Lord I Will Ry My Vow Unto the Lard" (Pnln cxvi. 12). 1 "I Beteech yon. Brethren, by the Modes of CThstYc Present Your Bodm Living Sacrifice, Holy and Acceptable Unto Cod and Yout Reasonable Service" (Roman tii, IX Once made and accepted by -the Lord through the lmpartation of the boly Spirit, It ca&not be annulled. But why should we wish to annul the Vow? Why should anyone who puts his band to the plow look back? To use the Apostle's Illustration, why should the sow that was washed return to wal lowing in the mire? Why should we, after having renounced the world and received the begetting of the holy Spir it, and after having tasted of tbe good Word of, God and the powers of the Age to come, lose tbe precious taste and appreciation of these, and return In craving to tbe beggarly elements of the world? Surely there are no good reasons for so doing. Surely tbe joys of the present life, as well as the hopes of tbe Kingdom to come, all should en courage us to fully "set our affection on things above and not on the things beneath." The world, the flesh and the Adver saryall exercise Influences contrary to our Vow or Resolution to tbe Lord to bo dead to the world and to self that we may be alive with Christ am share bis glory suffer with him, that we may reign with blm. Tbe poet har expressed tbe proper thought bere, say ing, ' "My soul, be on thy guard, : Ten thousand foes arise: Tbe hosts ot sin are pressing hard To draw thee from the prize." Much of our success in keeping our Vow of Consecration depends upon two things: (1) The clearness of our grasp of tbe situation when we made our Vow and the thoroughness of our intention; tbe amount or weight -thereof; tbe will power exerted for righteousness. (2) An additional feature of great weight in tbe matter Is tbe degree of our knowledge. It is In line with this thought that tbe . Scriptures declare. "My people perish for lack of knowl edge." God has given us bis Word and informed us that It is "profitable for doctrine, for reproof and for cor rection in righteousness, that tbe man of God may be thoroughly furnished-" He has advised us to search tbe Scrip tures and .0 forget not the assem bling . of ourselves together. And where his advice Is followed and the Scriptures are searched dally, not in a formal manner, but with a desire to know and to do the Lord's will and to be guided iu bis way, a strengthening of the will is effected. Correspondingly there is a -weakening of tbe evil in fluences which oppose us as New Crea tures and our Vow, The Word of God Is so arranged as to provide "meat In due season" for all of bis faithful peo ple, whether old or young, in every time. As "babes In Christ," -as jyoung men and as full-grown sons of God, it Is for each of ns a storehouse ot Grace and Truth, to make us strong in tbe Ixrd and in tbe power of his might. Only by appropriating this spiritual food can we have strength to fulfil our Vow, to finish our course with Joy and to attalu the Klugdom. Item by item, as our minds are able to grasp its un folding prospects of glory, honor and immortality, we are thereby strength ened by the Lord's might In the inner mad. ; '.- ' a . In proportion an we realize tbe facts of the ease we limy appreciate what a great oarfwii.the Lord has offered us. We surrender 'in consecration our earthly rights, privileges and pleasures, and receive iu return more happifying spiritual blessings iu. the present life and tbe inheritance of the unspeakable blessings and glories of the future. It should) therefore, become much more eagy to puy our Vows with a willing heart, as we grow In grace and In knowledge f tbe Lord and his Word. Indeed, as the Apostle suggests, it is possible for us to reach tbe pluce where we can "rejoice in tribulation also" knowing that thereby our future bless ing is Increased. What Shall I Render ?" As the consecrated believer consid ers what God has already done, and what he proposes yet to do for bis faithful, gratitude wells up in bis heart and his inquiry is. "What shall 1 ren der unto the Lord for ail his benefits?" The more be considers tbe matter, tbe more he realizes that his talents and opportunities are necessarily small, in significant. It is from this standpolhl that tbe poet wrote, "0 for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer's praise." . -. ;; ' It is well indeed, to show our Appre ciation of God's grace' by songs of thankfulness and praise, but we tftt to remember that not merely poetic ca dences are our acceptable songs, but that from-tbe proper standpoint life itself is tbe proper hymn of praise' to be continually rendered to ' the King of kings. "Singing and making melody In our hearts unto the Lord" will imply that onr works will be In harmony a song of life" (Ephesiant v, ltt). . Taking the Cup. The Psalmist's answer, prophetically represents the attitude of heart of all tbe faithful. Each Is expected to say, "I will take tbe Cup ot Salvation and call upon tbe name of the Lord'" (Psalm cxvL 18). The cup of salvation at the present time is tbe "Cup"; which our Lord proffered to bis disciples, say ing, "This la my blood' of tbe New Covenant abed for many for tbe remis sion of sins. Drink ye all of It" (Mat thew xxvL 27, 28). It is a "Cup" of suffering, self-denial, self-sacrifice, as respects the .earthly things which we give up,' surrender, that we may at tain; the heavenly things as Joint-beirs with .-onr Redeemer, There might be danger, however, of some getting the wrong thought on this subject' There is . a peculiar pleasure in drinking of thi Lord1p;cup" of self-jjcrlflce, which those who have' never iaken of can not hope to understand.'- It is tbe pleasure of fellowship) In his suffer ings, as St. Paul explains. And a part of the pleasure connected with that "cup" is tbe associated hope of drink ing with onr Lord of bis other cup of joy and glory and blessing in tbe King dom, as be promised. , The necessity of partaking of this "Cup" of the Lord 1s shown by the Savior's words to two of bis disciples who Inquired, saying, "Lord, grant that we may sit with thee, tbe one on thy right band and the other on thy' left hand n the Kingdom." Our Lord's reply was that tbey little realized what this bigb privilege of sitting In the Mil lennial Throne with him would cost He Inquired, "Are ye able io drink of the cup ttint I shall drink of?" (Matthew 'xx, 22) the cup of suffering, ignominy, dishonor, death? "and to be baptized with tbe baptism that I am baptized with?" not the baptism Into water, but into that which is symbolized by the water a baptism into his death. , Tbe apostles Indicated their willing ness. And we can do no more. If I left to ourselves, undoubtedly the con tract would be more than we would be sufficient for. Our Sufficiency Is of . God's providence our great Redeemer ' Is our High Priest and Advocate,' able to succor ns in every time of need, and able to provide ways of escape from trials too bard for us; able to strengthen us when weak; able to give us the "meat In due season;" able to make us strong in bis might; able to bring to our attention the great and precious promises of God's Word. Vea, says St Paul, "I can do all things through Christ, which strengthened me" (Phlllpplnns Iv, 13). "In the Presence of All the People." In the context tbe prophet declares, "I will pay my Vows unto tbe Lord in tbe presence of all the people." Pub licly, openly, I will espouse the Lord's Cause. I will remember bis words. '.'Whosoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, of him also shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when he com . eth in the glory of his Father, with ! the holy angels" (Mark vlli. 38). I will be faithful In the performance of my Covenant to such a degree that my loyalty shall be known to all tbe breth ren as well as to the Lord, who reads tbe heart.' Tea, and tbe worldly should know of the faithfulness of God's peo ple, even though, not appreciating the matter, tbey should despise them and count' them fools for Christ's sake. Vows of this kind are not for the worldly, even though they be morally disposed. They are yet in their sins, if they reject the offer of Divine for giveness upon Divine terms ot conse cration. Such may not think to take Vows of consecration to the Lord. until, first they have renounced wilful sin and accepted redemption through faith In the precious blood. Until then tbey remain amongst the wicked. "Unto the wicked God said, What hast thou to do to take my words into thy mouth (as a Vow seeing thou hatest instruc tion and castes t my words behind thee" (Psalm 1, 17). AH who do not wish Di vine instruction, all who spurn the Lord's Word, are in this sense, wicked In a wrong condition of heart We are glad that there is no truth In tbe theory that they are liable to eternal torture, but, oh, bow much tbey are missing, nevertheless, Of the joys of tbe Lord In this present time and of the glories and eternal blessings of the. future! In closing, dear friends, let me sug gest to you a little Vow unto tbe Lord not as Instead of your Consecration Vow, which is all comprehensive, but as supplemental thereto as specifying certain matters, which are indeed part and parcel of your Consecration Vow. The thought is that by this Vow these particular features of your obligation will be dally more prominently before your mind. It is my belief that the taking of it earnestly and soberly, and tbe keeping of It, would be one of tbe wisest New Year's Resolutions that God's people could make most helpful to them in tbe peculiar time in which we are living.
