Elder Stubs to Hold Series of Meet

Elder Stubs to Hold Series of Meet
ings in Savannah
Services were held in the Odd Fellows
han yesterday morning and last night by
Rev. M. F. Stubs, of Statesboro, an
elder of the Primitive Baptist church. A
present at each service. Elder Stubs
has arranged to hold services once a
month in Savannah during the coming
year.
There are several families of Primitive
Baptists in the city, and the movement
inaugurated by Elder Stubs will prob
ably result in establishing church here.
There are several thousand of the
Primitive Baptists, commonly known as
Hardshells, in South Georgia, and with
the continual addition to the city's popu-
lation from this section, their numbers
here are likely TO increase.

THOUGHT THEY SAW ooRBETr.
Charlestonians Mistook Tourist for
the Big Pugilist.

the Big PuR1l1st.
A quiet looking gentleman was palmed
OF yesterday at the Charleston and Sa-
vannah railroad depot in Charleston as
DANES Corbett, the champion pugilist. A
report was circulated about the depot
that Corbett was in the car then lust
about leaving for Savannah, and parties
came in by ones, twos and threes to take
a peep at the hero. One of the visitors re-
marked as he went out the car that
he would not have been afraid to
tackle the supposed prize fighter himself,
had he not known who he was. No one
in the car knew Corbett by right, and it
was not until after the train started that
they learned that the gentleman who
was "the obserred of all observers" was
not the champion of the prize ring, but a
plain every day traveller who with his wife
was bound to Florida. The crowd at the
depot in Charleston doubtless still think
that they saw Corbett.

in every way, as you will soon see. Every
word that have said is necessary for you to
understand what miracle is, and If there are
grounds for belief In miracles.
Keep clearly in mind there are only two
grounds upon which miracles can be derived
a. A miracle is an impoSsibility, e. A
miracle never happened.
Let us first deal with the objection that a
miracle is an impossibility. and do not let us
make the mistake at this point that the cele-
hrated Renan has made in his life OF Jesus,
Write book TO disproye the miraculous
and never define what he means
by the term miracle. Perhaps il he had done
this there would have been no necessity for
his book and the world would have lost a
vivid sensation so dear to the Gallo heart.
All is gained or lost by your definition of a
miracle; here surely, if anywhere, there
must be clear, clean cut definition. You
must know precisely what you mean, why you
mean what you mean, and then stick to your
meaning.
MUST INCLUDE MUCH.
The definition of miracle must include
God. man and nature. Hence you see the ne
cessity that we should have spent so much in
oe 1nlnR these relations, as understood by the
best theology of to-day Nature is a visible
manifestation OF God, by no means exclud-
ing from the term nature man. as was the
habit of the eighteenth century delsts; every
thing done in nature is done directly by the
enabled so to do directly by the spirit Of God.
Ne11ly, as st. Paul says, In him we live, and
move, and have our being"
Now we are ready to give you first the
popular definition Of a miracle; and. secondly,
the definition of a miracle as held, taught
and defended by the best theology Of the day.
Dr.. Clarks definition of a miracle is some
thing which shows the immediate presence
OF the supernatural power We will not de-
fend such definition of miracle because we
believe that every phenomenon of nature
SHOWS the immediate presence of the super
natural over. If water flowing downhill does
not show the immediate presence of the su-
pernatural power that is, the direct power of
God, then we have no right to believe that
any phenomenon Of nature does There are
only two logical conclusions: Either that
which you please TO call nature does all, or
God does all Dr. UhlhOrn's definition of
miracle "A miracle in the strictest sense
exists only when things occur which have their
affective cause not in the forces of earthly
nature, but in the direct interven-
ton Of divine power, of God himself
when God acts without medium
of created means" We object to this
definition of a miracle, because. tst it asserts
that the earth has power of itself viii. we
deny; I'd, because 1t makes God interfere by
direct Intervention of divine power, which
asserts that there are times when God does
not interfere which we deny. He interferes
all the time.

MIRACLES IN NATURE.

These are what we call miracles in nature,
But in doing so he does not change or annul
those laws already known to US. To illus
trate: Gravtation attracts bushel OF wheat
sixty pounds, but l am able to lift the busheI
OF wheat, BY so doing do vitiate or change
the law OF gravity Mo- l simply overcome
1t by higher power Gravtation exerts as
much as ever If l turn loose the bag OF
wheat | will SEQ. There was a time upon
this globe when there was manifest
only inorganic matter when God mani
tested plant lfe here was some
thing supernatural; q wonder, a marvel a
miracle. Again when animal life was mani
rest And the greatest miracle of all at tho
birth OF man, an immortal spirit generated in
the likeness of God. But GOD acted no more
directly or indil tly when he manifested
these later forms of life. than sine than at
the present time. AS we have SAID before
water running down hill shows as directly the
eXertion Of Gods power as dividing the Red
sea; and the one is as much a proof Of the ev
istence OF God as the other So much for
miracles In nature, as nature is ordinarily m
derstood. 1t remains to define what is n mira
Gle In man. Man performs every act directly
by the powers of God: from taking a walk n
writing on Odyssey to performing the miracle
OF moses God has given to some men
wonderful powers, marvellous facilities Of life
ana we call these miracles wrought through
man by the power Of God; at the same time
asserting that the feeblest act he does lie
wrought by the same power
AZ last we are prepared to answer the oh.
lection that miracle is an impossibility.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-12-11
WHAT REAL MIRACLES ARE.

Lastly we will give one view of miracle
taken from Cruden's Concordance: Real
miracles which are contrary to the order an d
exceed this power of nature, etc" Again
because 1t assumes that nature runs
the world by fixed laws; that miracles are
contrary to these fixed laws We deny that
nature as ordinarily understood does any
thing, and we deny that miracle is contrary
to any law.
All the errors in these definitions of a mir
acle, If they are errors, and modern theology
undoubtedly thinks they are, all spring from
that Carpenter Theory Of the Universe"
What havoc has this theory not produced? IL
has produced atheists, deists, skeptics, ma
terialiSts and what not? We Of to-day know
that il is the aSsassinS dagger hid beneath
the robe Of speculation.
We OF to-day know that the carpenter
theory Of the universe" is q fallen siren that
will send the icy chill and tremor OF ghostiy
death through the ViUals of any religion or
science that permits itself to be cozened into
its unhallowed embraced
This Medusa being dead and, as we trust
will forever sleep in the dust the definition
OF a miracle as held, taught and defended by
miracle will depend as all idea of a miracle
must depend, upon the relation we
believe God holds to the universe and
to man. We have. already given what
we believe this relation to be. What is called
natural law does nothing, can do nothing
We say certain thing is done by law. Do
we mean by this to say that a law per Sc, of
its own accord does thing? Or do we mean
simply to descrihe the method by which a
thing is done? We say the law of gravitation
does so and so. One mass Of what we call
matter behaves in certain ways towards other
masses. One of these methods we call the
law of gravitation. BY law then is meant
method. Did method ever do ANYTHING .?
OF course not Then law never did
anything. The law by which a thing is done
means simply the method in which anything
ls done. What we mean by the laws of ma.
ture is the method God has chosen to exert
his power 1t is simply Gods way of doing
things Does God ever change his way of do
ing things: We see no reason to believe that
he does. It is our only hope Of learning the
mind OF God. If we had to learn one lesson
ana then unlearn 1t, we would be put to con
fusion, Hence we deny any definition of a
miracle that hints at God changing any of
his laws. But, if evolution Is true. il the
scriptures are true, then God, from time to
time, has manifested higher laws or methods
OF operation that were supernatural to those
alre ady manifest.

be worth tying up all legislatio to de-
feat. For the people Of the South will
still defeat and deny popular suffrage IN
those states, with repeal or without it.
But it is public duty to make effective
protest against tins insolent declaration
that fraud shall rage triumphant and I'M
checked. It is a party duty to oppose to
the action of a united Democracy the
action of united Republicanism. And
it is the highest duty of all to show to
these Southern senators that when they,
barely quarter OF the whole member
ship of the senate, assume to say that all
legislation shall stop unless their will
is complied with, their policy can be
copied. Let the election repeal bill and
any tariff bill that may beforced through
the house in like manner, stop at the
threshold of the senate. Force that body
to drink its own poisoned cup, to wit
ness its complete inability to perform
any promise or carry through any legis-
lation, to hold it's hands in the letters that
it has forged. TO the Republicans of
the senate, the party and the country
look to see that the folly of the Demo-
Gratis be not consummated, that the inso-
lence of the South be brought to halt.
The game IS in their hands. Let them
simply stand where they are, forbid all
further legislation, and the next election
will leave of the Democratic party bare
ly an unhappy reminiscence.-Pioneer

Election Law Repeal.

LOW AVOp0o1'
The repeal by the house of the federal
election laws is piece of business char
acteristic of the Democratic party and
worthy of it. 1t is by such performan-
ces as this, at a time when patriotism and
the sinking of mere partisanship are in
demand, that the party will be judged.
1t is for such that it is already con-
demned, even by its own strongest and
most intelligent leaders. This repeal has,
at best, only moral force. All that it
does is to make open declaration to the
country of the already well-known fact
that the Democracy is in favor of cheat
ing at the polls where it cannot win
honestly. Its ineradicable disposition to
do this has already superseded the laws.
They have not been able to secure for
US honest elections in New York city.
They have not been able to give us a free
ballot and fair count in the states of
the South. Their disappearances will
do no practical harm to Republicanism.
But we are much mistaken if Democracy
does not find it to be one of its worst
days. work.
In the first place, the average voter
will begin to realize pretty sooA who is
running this government. He has heard
that the South was in the saddle, full of
it's old insolence and intolerance. He
has taken the statement, in a good-na-
tured way, to be one of the arguments
of party that are frequently overdrawn.
He will see now that it is the sober truth.
The old South, the disloyal South, the
ignorant South, the South that is intent
upon having its own way no matter
what it costs, is the ruling force in the
government under Democratic suprema-
cy.Who prevented the repeal of the Sher-
man act? Not the little handful of sill
YER senators, but the Southern Democrats
who are allied with them and consti-
tute majority of all Democratic sena-
tors. Who forced through the repeal of
the election laws, against the wish of the
president and the protests OF Northern
Democrats? The representati\ es of the
South. under the lead of Tucker of Vir
ginia. No stories Of Southern outrages,
no attempt to fire the Northern heart
would have the effect upon the people
that this domination OF Southern ignor-
ance and obstinacy will have. At the
first opportunity we shall hear what
New York and Illinois and Indiana and
Wisconsin have to say about 1t. The
people of those states have imagined
that such intelligence as there is IN the
Democratic party, such regard for pop,
ular rights and the public interest, (which
is seated wholly in the Northern wing
of it, would remain in command. They
see that the South holds the reins; and
if there were to be an election to-mor-
row, the Democratic party would lose
every one of those states, all of which
cast their electoral votes for Cleveland,
by overwhelming majorities.
Nor is this all. The policy of the house
offers to the Republicans Of the senate
an opportunity which they will hardly
fail to accept. Let them deal with the
elections repeal bill precisely as the Dem
ocrats Of the South have dealt with the
silver repeal bill. That lesson should
not he thrown away upon them. In it.
