CHRISTIANITY AND CRITICISM.
Rev. Chas. II. Strong ON what Is said
About the bible To-day.

Rev. Chas. H. Strong of st. Johns
church delivered an interesting discourse
last night, on the subject Christianity
and Modern Criticism"
One would think that after an expert
ence of 1900 years Christianity ought to
justify itself, Rev. Mr.. Strong said, and
yet there never was a time in the history
of religion when there were so many ques-
tions and so many difficulties connected
with It as there are to-day.
Rev Mr.. Strong spoke of the atheists,
and doubters of to-day and of years gone
by the incidents in the Bible from which
they have drawn their conclusions, and
upon which they have based their reason
ing. The mistake they made, he said,
was that they took the conceptions of
men Of 1900 years ago. upon which to base
their reasoning Of to-day. The Bible, he
said embodied the conceptions of the men
and the age by whom and in which 1t was
written There has been a progressive
development in thought and ideas, and it
could not be expected that those men
would reach forward to the future and
grasp the thought and ideas of the pres
ent day But wherever there is anything
in the Bible that is inspiring to man, any
thing that comforts or wipes away tear,
that is GODS word ana II IS meant IOf all.
He spoke, too, of the attack on the su-
pernaurai and miraculous. Jesus Christ
with his perfect character, character
which showed that everything he did was
in behalf of suffering humanity, was the
greatest of all miracles to him. The most
uncomfortable of all things was that such
a perfect character should have lived in
a time such as that was when everybody
questioned mans honor and woman's chas-
tity. How then, he asked, could people
question the fact that miracles were per-
formed? 1t was ridiculous to say that
they were contrary to the laws of nature
when there are so many of the laws of
nature about which we known nothing.
First, let scientists tell us what is light,
what is heat, what is electricity, before
they begin to question whether anything
is contrary to the laws of nature God S
Jaws are bigger than anything we know
or do and II is absurd to talk about our
Knowing what the laws of nature are
Rev Mr.. Strong said the subject was a
big one and he would have more to say
about it another time.

city Of Savannahs size wrote that the
results of the curfew have been very
gratifying socially and morally to Che
youth. He said that there had been a
falling off of more than rs per cent in the
number of arrests for truancy and disor-
derby conduct since the inauguration of
the curfew, and that the teachers in the
public schools say that, since its estab-
lishment, the boys, who formerly kept
late hours on the streets and were behind
in their studies, now come regularly to
school and are mentally refreshed and up
with their studies. He further
said that he could not see
why any city government in the coun-
try should hesitate to enact the ordinance.
The mayor of North Platte wrote that
for two years before the passing of the
curfew ordinance IA boys and girls were
sent to the reform school. but that since
its enforcement, none had been sent.
II believe the enactment of the curfew
ordinance in Savannah on this evidence"
said DR.. Schaeffer, would be most helpful
to public school teachers and t9-parents.
1t can do the city no harm, will be no adj
ditional expense and may accomplish
most gratifying results
What we need in Savannah as much as
anything else is reformatory and indus

viciously inclined children among the as

'At the dedication of a reformatory
school at the north, which had cost hum
dreds of thousands of dollars, Horace
Mann was requested to deliver the dedica-
tory address. During the course of his re-
marks he said that. if one boy were saved
through that institution the large sum ex-
pended in its erection would be properly
invested Afterwards a friend asked him
if he had not exaggerated the value of
that one vicious boy, but he replied: Not
If he were my boy Would not every IA
Their in my presence to-day make the same
reply?'
DR.. Schaeffer closed with an earnest APP
peal to the parents, to the church and
to the city officials in behalf of the Nag-
lected boys. If the proper efforts were
made, he said, a sorrowing mother might
not need to sit at her window, longing
and waiting for her erring son, thinking
of the lines of where Is My Wandering
Boy Tonight" AS he closed, DR.. Schaef-
fer spoke the lines of the opening stanza,
the choir sang the song.

day and Tomorrow.
The Boston base ball team left at mid
day yesterday for Charleston. Games
will be played in that city to-day and to-
morrow. when the team will begin to work
its way up, playing on the way, and ar
irving at Boston, April II. The National
League playing season will open two days
later.
The stay of the Bostons in Savannah has
only been fairly successful from a training
point of view, but Manager selee says
he has no kick coming and is satisfied. The
weather has not been as good as it might
have. In fact, it has been very bad and
the team did not have a good day during
it's stay. Several days it was warm
enough, but the wind was high and good
work was impossible. The days that it
rained the team put in at indoor practice
in the gymnasiums of the Catholic Libra
ry Association and the Young Mems Chris
tan Association.
The team is in excellent condition and
there is not a man on it who can be said
to be out of condition, unless it is Stiv-
etts. His only fault lies in being too

Savannah feels somewhat of an interest
in the Beaneaters now and the course of
the team through the season win be

THEY WANT THE NEW CODE.
There Has Been n Delay In Getting

Out the Civil Law Part of 1t.
The lawyers of Savannah are worried
little bit about the new state code with
the completion of which there appears to
have been some delay.
It was about two years or more ago,
that the codifiers were appointed under an
act OF the legislature, and it was supposed
they would have the new code completed
and ready for distribution and sale be-
fore this time, but so far only that por-
ton of it relating TO crimes has been re-
ceived.
For some reasons or other there has
been a delay in getting out the two vol
umes relating to civil laws, longer one
than the attorneys think it should have
been. and they are getting anxious about
it. Some of them have about decided to
make inquiries at headquarters if they do
not hear from it shortly.

folicy holders In the Farmers Home
Fire Insurance Co. will be interested in
examining the first financial statement
OF the Company, made public in this is
sue by order of the Board of Directors
and as required by the Code and by the
bylaws of the Company. A few words
OF explanation, in connection with this
statement, may not be inappropriate
here. The Company, it will be remem-
oered, was worked up, duly organized
and started by Morton Il Co., the three
agents who came here from Virginia
last spring and spent three months of
hard labor in working up the enterprise,
soliciting applications, &c. The amount
collected by them, 81 ,465. so, in entrance
fees, they claimed the right to retain
for their services, to which the Com
pany, after Its organization, assented.
SO that, at the time of it's organization,
there was no money at all in the Com
pany's treasury.
Il. Z. Rittenhouse was elected Secre-
tary and Treasurer by the Directors.
and was afterwards made General
Manager for one year with the under
standing that out of the so cents on the
500 collected in entrance fees, he was
TO retain 40 cents on the 800, out of
which he was to pay the running ex-
penses of the Company for the year, his
own salary and all the agents put by

salaries, will be practically at no ex-
pense this year, except what it may
think wise to expend in ADVERTISING
1t will be remembered, too, that the
per cent. annual interest on the pre-
MUM obligations was not collected the
hrst of January, as a years interest had
not, at that time, accrued. With the
trst of the coming January a very con.
siderable sum-possibly as much as

treasury from this source.

Three 60 be Hung.

In the Criminal Court of Fayette
county, on the 22nd, Clark Lewis and
Albert Voters, charged with the MUIR
der of Chas. Gibson, were found guilty
and sentenced to be hung on the 25th of
June. The Court had already fixed
that day for the hanging of Jerry Brown,
who assaulted Mrs. RadfOrd at Deep.
water last July. Wilbur Slaughter, i'm
plicated in the murder of Gibson, was
sentenced to the penitentiary for life.
The wife of Gibson confessed to muir
der in the second degree and her sem
fenced will be fixed later. Quite a
number of others belonging to the cut
throat Montgomery gang are under in
dictment for the murder of Gibson and
John Cochran, and it seems probable
now that the number of the gang to be
hung June 25th will be largely increased.
If the Criminal Court keeps up this
lick very long the Republican majority
in Fayette will soon disappear.

William Dean, who lives near Lobe
liza, met with great misfortune on last
wednesday, the 2lst. His house caught
lire from flue and burned up with
nearly all of its contents. The flue was
OF galvanized tin with cap on it, and
the SCOT which had accumulated under
meath the cap caught fire and dropped
down on the roof, which being dry was
soon ablaze. At the time there WAS no
one at the house except Mrs. Dean and
her daughter, Nettie, who were attend
ing to their household duties when the
cracking flames aroused them to sense
OF their danger. Rushing from the
house, they found that the roof near the
fiue was burning rapidly, and after a
moments hesitation, hardly knowing
what to do, they assembled to the garrett
with some water and tried to eXtinguish
the lire, but all in vain. They quickly
returned to the lower floor and by he
roic efforts succeeded in removing four
beds and bureau from the burning
building. The bureau afterwards was
burned, not having been removed far
enough. Nothing was saved but the
four beds. The corn, wheat and bacon
stored near by was all burned. The loss
Will probably amount to 81 800, with no
insurance. The house was a new one
and not quite completed, Of good size
and nice workmanship. He had hard
struggle to build it, but overcoming
every obstacle, he triumphed and natu-
rally felt pardonable pride in his sue
cess. He is poor man and his loss is
a severe one.
Considerable excitement still prevails
at Marlinton over Geo. w. Roberts,
who was arrested and Jailed there on
the 10Th for beating and cutting his
wife. 1t is now thought that he was
craZed by whiskey, as he had been drink
ing heavily several days previous to the
committal Of the crime and has shown
great remorse since getting from under
its influence.
