Brief Account Of Sermons
Preached In Local Churches
“Accidents and
Calamities”—Dr. Dillard
Dr. James K. Dillard preached a ser- |
men of absorbing interest yesterday
morning before a large congregation at
the Southside Baptist church, having for
his th; me Accidents and Calamities."
l»r. Dillard said in part:
‘Every day records its ghastly list of
horrible accidents and heart rending ca
lamities. I recall the Charleston earth- (
quake, the Johnstown flood, the St. Louis
cyclone and the sinking of the Titanic. ;
1 knew a cultured and Godly mother who
took poison by accident, a lovely* and 1
promising young man that shot himself
accidentally* and a beloved physician who
while on a mission of mercy rati over a
man. What is the explanation?
* You will recall that Virgil in the |
Aenead tells of a storm at sea that de
stroyed many of the sifrvivors from An
cient Troy. The poet tells us that the
explanation of this awful storm is found :
in the jealousy and envy of Juno, the
Queer, of Heaven. On one occasion three
godesses, Juno, Minerva and Venus, had
h dispute about which was the most i
beautiful. They decided to leave it to i
the judgment of Paris, the son of the I
King of Troy This young man declared \
Venus to he the most beautiful. As a 1
result of th?.- derision Juno was rot only j
*ngr\ at Paris, but also at all his fam- j
fly and i - city and nation, Juno fights;

It seems never to have occurred to any- •

the tower was a poor foundation or de

ZIRON Iron Tonic Proved the
Right Remedy for This and
Other Troubles
“Sometime back,” writes W. T Pal
mer, of Soperton, Ou., ”1 was in a run
down state. My nerves were all torn to
pieces. Tt was an effort for me to <lo
my work T did not rest well at nights.
I felt tired when morning came, and
didn't feel like starting the day. My skin
was muddy. My appetite was poor. I
felt very much in need of a tonic. 1
thought it was the lack of iron and
decided to try Ziron, as i heard there
was no better tonic made. 1 began
taking it and can safely and gladly say
£ It did me a world of good. Ziron is a
good all-around tonic for young and

of nature and of society. We need to ex
ercise the greatest possible care that a1 -
Cidents may not occur and that calami
ties may be avoided. We have had a
propaganda against the reckless drive?.
Now we need a propaganda to warn the
reckless pedestrian. Whether the laws
of nature arc violated intentionally or
Unintentionally, suffering must result. If
>©« have been the victim of an accident
through the carelessness of others, do
not blame yourself and do not blame Al
mighty God because be did not suspend
the laws of the universe to prevent the
accident.
"There arc some things that are not
accidents. No mar. is accidentally saved
or lost. Spiritual laws are not accident
ally violated. If you are lost it will not
be an accident, but it will be a calam
ity.”
Resurrection Power
of Jesus—Dr. Wells
Sunday morning at the Highland? Meth
odist church the pastor. Dr. Preston B
Wells, preached an interesting and power,
tul sermon before a large congregation,
his texr being taken from Philippinns
third chapter and tenth verse: "That l
may know him and the power of his
resurrection.’’ Hr. Wells said in part:
"The word which Paul here uses for
power’ is the word from which we de
rive our strong English term ‘dywamite
Elsewhere Paul says that by tiie resur
rection Jesus was declared to be the sou
of Ciod with power:' or, to give the more
accurate English translation, 'by thu
resurrection Jesus was powerfully de
clared to be the Son of God. The resui
rectlon was a ‘powerful- demonstration of
tile Sonship of Jesus.
•'On tile last past Sunday we spoke of
the resurrection as being the foundation
of the Christian faith. Wc endeavored to
show that men have tried to take from
us the Christ of yesterday, and that til \v

he changed lives of men and in the
spiritual transformations of the world
1’hese are tlie living evidences of HH
esurrection power—-the unanswerable ar
;umeir for the Christian faith. A dead
'hrist could never transform the world,

"The transforming power of Jesus in

estimony to His conquest of death and

certain selfish publishers, who have been
bloodsucking the postal establishment for
years to the extent of seventy-two mil

General says no.’*
BY COLORED CLUB
Th»? sacred concert of mo Morehouse
Glee club and orchestra of Atlanta at
the .Sixteenth Street Baptist church
last night attracted an audience that
filled the auditorium and galleries to
their utmost capacity. Many white
rnusi' lovers were present and were
highly apreciative. as evidenced by
their hearty applause.
Before the concert began Pastor
Williams conducted brief religious ex
ercises and the chorus choir of the
church, stationed in the organ loft,
sanir two numbers with beautiful cf- |
feet—a four-part hymn in anthem |
form And a negro spiritual.
The visiting singers acquitted them- |
selves with high credit, especially In
the group of five spirituals and the
violin solo and in piano solos wore !
each well executed.
The orchestra appeared in two num
bers “Caliph of Bagdad," by Boieldieu,
and prelude in O sharp minor by Rocli
maninoff. Both compositions call f<».
careful ensemble training and tech
nieal schooling. The prelude, indeed,
would have been a test for any first
class professional concert orchestra. |
The brass section was sonorous an 1
revealed no little artistry. The violins j
displayed real artistry, too, but the :e- :
sportive players had not taken suf
ficient pains in tuning.

The following points are of vital interest to every citizen
of Jefferson County:
I
1.
This nation—your country and mine—owes
approximately $10,000,000,000 in unpaid war
bills—for a victory that we are now enjoying.
2. The nation must pay this debt—if it is to
continue to exist as a nation among the na
tions of the world.
3. There are only two ways that the nation can
secure the money—by bonds and by taxes.
4. Taxes are already high and yet insufficient
to meet our outstanding war obligations.
5. Therefore bonds must be sold.
6. Again, there are only two ways that several
billions of dollars of bonds can be sold—to
the banks or to the people.

7. If they are placed with the banks, industry,
commerce, your business will suffer. The
banks would be unable to purchase several
billion dollars of Liberty Bonds and continue
to loan money in sufficient quantities and at
a fair rate to the business man. You cannot
have your pudding and eat it, too.
8. Each bank has only so much money to lend.
It can’t lend it to business men and to the
government at the same time.
9. The business men MUST have bank loans in
order to start industry humming, pay good
wages, and bring about the period of pros
perity we are all looking forward to.
10. It is, therefore, your business and my busi
ness to invest as largely as each of us indi
vidually can—for America’s welfare and for
our own.
