Going To Cuba

Talbotton is proud to furnish a son for the foreign missionary field.  Rev. 
Harry B. Bardwell, son of Dr. and Mrs. E.L. Bardwell, of this place, has 
offered himself as a missionary in the foreign field and has been accepted.  He 
has been stationed for the last three years at Centennary Church, Macon, where 
his work has been very fruitful.  He goes to Guantanamo, Cuba, a splendid 
foreign field, and we feel that the South Georgia Conference could not have 
selected a better man for that place.

His removal to a foreign field has come as a surprise to many of his 
acquaintances and friends, but Mr. Bardwell says that he feels that the people 
there should hear the gospel and the text John 3:16 drives him there.  The text 
says “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son etc.”.  Mr. 
Bardwell observes that the word “world” includes more than Georgia, or the 
United States or Europe or Asia, but none however small of insignificant are 
left out of God’s love and they ought to know it.  “My sacrifice” says the 
noble young preacher, “if it can be called a sacrifice, is not to be compared 
to the sacrifice God made in giving His only begotten son and Christ the son 
who came and died.  If God did that much for me how small it is that I can do 
for Him by spending my life telling the heathen about Him!”

Having a son in the field at the front Talbotton people will be more in touch 
with foreign missions that ever and the son’s noble example will do good at 
home as well as in the foreign field.  He will be in Talbotton several days 
before leaving.
