President Conner VIII Not Talk
About the Cotton Exchange
Charges.
The committee of the cotton exchange
appointed by President Williamson in pur-
suance of a resolution adopted at the an
nual meeting, to investigate the diversion
of cotton from the port by means of secret
rate cutting met yesterday. The commit
tee decided not to give out anything for
publication or to discuss the matter until
after 1t has presented its report to the
cotton exchange.
The members Of the cotton exchange are
in earnest, and there is reason to believe
that the committee will go to the very
bottom of the matter before making its
report. When the report is presented to
the exchange 1t is likely that further steps
will be taken by that body to secure lust
treatment Of Savannah by the railroads in
cotton freghts. Mr.. Henry T. Williams
of Duckworth & Co. is chairman of the
committee
President Conner of the Central, who re-
turned to the city yesterday morning, was
seen in reference to the statements in the
report Of President Williamson of the
cotton exchange and the proposed inves-
tgation by the cotton exchange commit
tee, but declined to be interviewed

Answer TO Charge Against the
ocean Steamship Company.

Messrs. Lawton & Cunningham. repre-
sentlng the Ocean Steamship Company,
have filed in the United States court
their answer to the bill of the Interstate
Commerce Commission against that line,
in which it is charged the interstate COM
merce law was violated by reason of the
fact that the Ocean Steamship Company
shipped freight cheaper from the east to
Columbus, Ca, than to Albany, Smith
vile, Dawson. Cuthbert, Everett and such
places. The answer denied that there
had been any violation Of the long and
short haul clause of the law, because it
stated, the freight was not shipped under
the same conditions, and the lines in
volved were not under common control
for continuous transportation. II is also
stated If the company is compelled to re-
duee the rate as required II will not be
able to earn operating expenses and pay
a fair rate of interest on its securities

The Waterman of the Bark Mentonc
Found Gagged.

A queer case of sailor stealing was re-
ported at the police barracks yesterday
Capt. Schanke of the Norwegian bark
Montone reported that four sailors nab
been stolen from his vessel during the
night. When he got on deck in the morn
ing he found the Waterman bucl1ed and
gagged and tied to the mast and four men
missing. The ships boat was gone also
The suppositlon is of course, that the
men were gotten off by sailor boarding
house runners Chief McDermott, how
ever, is of the opinion that the watch
man was bound and gagged by the sailors
without any outside assistance. He thinks
it very peculiar that the Waterman made
no cutlery when the attack was made upon
him. The taking of the ships boat nGt-
Gated that the men had either gone up
or down the river with the tide accord

time, and pulled the boat ashore in some

that two of them were seen on Bay stree.

Ayers, filed a suit for him yesterday in

PENDANTS, who are working in the name

UNIvERSALIST CHURCH.
Rev. Mr. Reeds Discourse on What of
the objectionable Sin?"

At the Universalist church yesterday
the pastor preached upon the subject
What of the objectionable Sin?" talk
ing his text from Matthew xii: 80: "Who-
soever shall speak against the Holy
Spirit it shall not be forgiven him, neith-
er in this world nor in that which Is to
come.''
On opening it is worthy of remark,
said the speaker that the word "unpar-
donable" does not occur either in the
text or context, but is an extraction of
modern times from false premises of the
subject Neither can the word "sin" be
said to have direct connection with the
topic save as it appears under the mean
ing of other terms used. And if we use
both words together speaking of unpar-
donable sin we make feint, to say the
lesat, at begging the question of wheth-
er or not there be such sin. Blasphemy,
or speaking against the Holy Spirit is
what Jesus here denounces, and before
we can approach conclusion we must
understand the nature both of the spirit
and of that called blasphemy.
Holy Spirit, in spite of theological ac-
cretions, means just what it says, the
spirit Of holiness or of righteousness.
The sharp contrast in the whole con-
text drawn between good and evil things
Pharisees had unwittingly condemned,
and the act itself which had so enraged
them was sublime, with its charity and
mercy, the healing of one who was blind
and dumb. So eager were they to over
throw Jesus that in their condemnation
they were likely to include righteousness
as well, in which he and they claimed to
firmly stand.
AS to the word blasphemy, we have
the meaning in the similar phrase,
speaking against" which is nothing
more than the utterance of what is with
in the heart. To fail of being moved
with compassion at the sight of broth
err in misfortune, who couu neither hear
nor speak, and to complain of the mercy
shown in his healing, was demonstration
of most deplorable depravity. Our Lord
speaks of these Pharisees as the prog
eny of vipers," meaning that their de-
rangement of heart began in the previ-
Gus generation. Thus it seems that
their speaking was caused as much by
their interpretation of wrongfulness,
as by their actual intention to do wrong.
Hence Jesus does not directly apply the
word sin to them.
Whether deeds of this character are
forever objectionable or not depends
upon the permanency with which we
have by inheritance and education be-
come established in depravity Forgive
ness is always conditioned by the ca
pacity for receiving it, and when the
Lord said that such should not be for
given, neither in this world Cor age) nor
in that which is to come" he menat that
the character built on the evil edu-
cation of two generations could not be
made over to good, except by the pass
age of at least an equal period of time.
Character, good or bad is built by de-
grees in the slow process of time, and to
change it requires like condition.

after His resurrection. But this church,
SO small at its birth. spread with Won
derful rapidity throughout the whole
world and in her bosom men found COM
fort. repose and consolation. The ques
ton then for us to determine Is, To which
of all the religious societies that we hear
Of does this parable apply? Which is
the church of Christ? 1t is none other
that the holy Catholic church. for she
alone possesses the marks of the church
established by Christ. On last Sunday
I spoke to you on the sanctity of the
church. Today we will speak on the
third mark namely, the Catholicity or
universally of the church, and show
you that the Church Of Christ must be
universal; that the Catholic church is
really universal and that no other de-
nomination possesses this mark;thus
proving that the Catholic church alone
Is the true Church of Christ.
That the Church Of Christ must be
Catholic or universal is manifest from
the sacred Scriptures. She must be uni
versal as to time. universal as to place
and universal as to doctrine. We learn
from the prophecy. Isaiah. that she must
be universal as to time: Upon thy
walls, o Jerusalem" he says, Il have
appointed watchmen; all the day and
all the night; they shall never hold their
peace" Christ himself confirms this
prophecy in speaking to his apostles,
when he says: II will ask the Father,
and he wial give you another paraclete,
that he may abide with you forever"
And in the commission given by him to
his apostle, he lays down these three
marks as essential qualities of his
church. "Going, therefore, teach all ma
tions; teaching them to observe
all things, whatsoever I have command
ed you; ana behold am with you all
days, even to the consummation Of the
world" In this passage we have the
express words of Christ himself, attest
ing that his church must be Catholic,
as to time, place and doctrine.
She must be Catholic as to time be-
cause Christ died to save all men. 1t
must be universal as to place, for Christ
thus speaks to his apostles: And ye
shall be witness to me In Jerusalem,
and in all Judea and Samaria, and even
to the uttermost parts Of the earth.'
The Catholic church is really univer-
sal as to time. She alone possesses the
glorious character of eing the church
Of all times. and she is the only church
that can be visibly traced back through
every age until the time of Christ.
The Catholic church alone is universal
as to doctrine, for everywhere her teach
ing is the same. Her teaching in one
ing in another. Like her Divine Fotnd-
er, her doctrine is the same yesterday,
and today and forever.
All religious denominations separated
from the Catholic church are destitute
Of the mark of universally. They are
not universal as to time or place or doc
trine. Thank God, then, daily. that
without any merit of yours, he has called
you to the knowledge of the true church.
You know the truth. and the truth shall
make you free. Remain loyal to the
Catholic faith, and live up to It If you
do, you may rest assured that your sal
vation is certain.

FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
Rev. Mr.. Day breaches Strong Sermon
on Robust Religion"

"a Robust Religion" was the theme
presented by Rev. Warren F. Day Of
the First Congregational church yes
terday, who chose these words, found
In II. Timothy XII, g.: "Thou, there
fore, endure hardness as good soldier
Of Jesus Christ
without robustness" said the
speaker, religion is Of little value. 1t
may be as gentle in spirit as the breath
ing of summer evening; it's touch
may be as soft as a mothers; it may be
as restful as the home fireside to the
worn and tempest-tossed. Its voice
need not be loud, nor its face severe; it
need not change itself to fit the man on
the frontier. the official in public life.
the minister, or the invalid. But
wherever found, religious life must have
vigor In its fiber and blood. 1t must be
ever setting up and holding up better
standards; 1t must resist where others
consent, and stand steadfast where
wavering means defeat. In it's very
nature the Christian religion Is re-
and binding together what makes for
righteousness.
There have been few achievements
of special value to the world without
both vigor and rigor. The worlds
heroes have been the worlds wrestlers-
and since the days Of the apostles, what
has Christianity not been called to
overcome! 1t Is a marvel of marvels
that it survived the prosecutions, dis
sensions and blunders of some of its
friends during the first three centuries.
The shores Of New England are not
more stern and rock bound than was the
robustness of the Christian faith ana
endurance Of those who faced disease
and death, while they cleared the for
ests and began that march of civilza-
ton, statehood and religious achieve
ment which make both memorable and
wonderful the story Of Puritan ana
Pilgrim.
There is special need of more robust
ness in Christian life. Popular ideals
do not run in the direction Of moral
stalwartness. 1t takes robustness TO
keep the spiritual above the material, to
keep fresh the Christian spirit, and to
be true to what is felt to be right on the
spot. 1t takes no little vigor to turn
the grand movement of the hour upward
rather than downward. That moral
vigor is amazing, which, for life time
keeps conscience, moral Judgment ana
Christian affection uppermost, where
the unhallowed, in fascinating form and
the chill Of ungodliness contend for the
mastery
There is especial need of this grace
In the defense of the Christian faith. 10
keep his faith the Christian must also
keep other trusts. When faith goes
out, 1t is easier to say yes to many
doubtful things which are ever waiting
to be let in.
Perhaps, as nowhere else in the
United States, there Is in this land Of
the sunny south. need of that resolute-
ness, which will stand up and be counted,
which will have some place and work
and share In the support of the Gospel
while the days are passing. The differ
ence between irresoluteness and reso-
luteness is the difference between
months, years or life, unsatisfactory,
fruitless, and of the blessed and satisfy
ing, the enervation or the robustness IF
the Christian life and institutions in our
country and the world"
