Progress Of One Month.

The war began, according to the
resolution ofcongress, month ago
Saturday last, and ofcourse there will
be murmurs all over the country as
the fact is brought to mind that moth
ing has been accomplished. Gen. Lee
predicted, about that time, that the
whole thing would be over in two
weeks. and other statesmen wondered
why he fixed so long a time. But
now after month Of preparation the
end seems no nearer than at the be-
ginning. As matter of fact the most
Intelligent observers are of the opln'
ion that the Spanish authorities in
Cuba are more securely entrenched
now than they were the day Spain
severed diplomatic relations with the
United States.
But Notwithstanding these facts,
wondrous progress has been made in
the month that has elapsed in the
matter of cousumstipg the purpose of
the war, namely, the restoration of
peace and tranquility in Cuba. A
volunteer army OF 125,0O0 men has
been organized, mustered, rendez'
voused, equipped and partly drilled,
and the naval strength of the country
has been very materially augmented.
The sectional differences between the
people of the north and south, and
east and west, have been completely
obliterated, and the union of the
states made more perfect than it has
been at any time since the end of the
first quarter OF the present century.
That much has been accomplished,
and it is a vast achievement.
From the beginning of time there
have been grumblsrs and to the end
of time they will exist. 1t will be re-.
membered that as late as mid.sum'
mer, 1864, the national convention of
one of the great political parties de.
clared the civil war failure, yet in
the spring oil 1865 the last organized
force of the enemy surrendered. 1t
is little early for the grumblers to
assert that the present war is a fail.
ure, but they are doing just that,
though the record of all times and
countries have been broken in the
preparations to make it a success.
But happily in this case the faultfnd.
ers are meager and not very re.
spectacle handful, and what they say
or do or think is of no significance

leagues, being a city union of the leaguers.
The meeting Of the committees followed
the regular meeting of the league of Yves
ley Church. Mr.. p. F. Brown presided,
and requested that Mr.. ]. l.. Christian,
the secretary of the committee on bylaws
and the constitution, read the report of
its work. He did so. and the committees
unanimously adopted it.. The league is to
be known as '"The Savannah Union of Ep-
worth Leagues of the South"
Another meeting will be held in short

Favorable progress is being made on the
new Knights of Pythias building at York
and Barnard streets. The foundation will
be completed level with Barnard street by
Saturday, after which the pressed brick
will be laid.
Cement mortar is being used in the foun-
dation. This is owing to the fact that lime
mortar will not set TO the brick on account
OF the moisture. The case is different with
cement however, which sets to the brick
and causes them to adhere within a short
time after being laid.
The front building. which is to be torn
away and replaced by another, will not be
removed until the one now building is COM
pleted The different lodges now meet in
the building fronting on York street, which
cannot be torn down therefore without
throwing the knights out of a home. As

Mr. Dale calls attention to the fact that
the drainage. which the municipal author
tiles are empowered to construct and main
tam, IS exclusively of a sanitary charac-
ter, while the drainage the, county is au-
thorized to stablish and maintain is as
much for the reclamation Of arabic land
and the improvement of the agricultural
interests of the county as for sanitary
purposes. The drainage of the city, with
in it's jurisdictional limits, he states, is
comparatively small when compared with
the drainage to be done by the county
while the power of taxation by the civ
is unlimited and that by the county is re-
stricted. He also calls attention TO the
increased expenses of the county by rea-
son of the increase in The school fund
and the placing of the entire expense OF
the City Court upon the county. The ne
cess.ty for improved highways has also
added largely to the expenses of the
county.
Mayor Meldrim. when spoken to about
Chairman Dales letter, said he would give
careful consideration at his earliest OBJ
portunity. The Mayor will accompany the
sanitary board on its visit to the old rice
field east of the city this afternoon and
form his own opinion of the conditions

Health Officer LeIIardy said the letter
having beer turned over to the Mayor for
his consideration, he did not care to discuss
it. If Mr. Dale and the commissioners
would meet with the sanitary board for a
discussion of the drainage situation, he
said, an understanding satisfactory to both
city and county authorities might be
reached

AN INVITATION FROM GOD.

at Grace Church.

Rev. MIR. DOminGOs' Second SERMON
at Grace Church.
The meetings in progress at Grace
Church are attracting the attention of
that section of the city and are largely
attended.
The congregation last night entered
heartily into the service of song, led by
Mr.. ]. E. Benson, and a large choir. Mr.
Walter Cler presided at the organ and
a solo was sung by Mrs. Lachlison. Dur
ing the services Miss Brockway, Mrs
Alderman, Mr.. r. j. Davant, Jr., and
others will also sing.
Rev. ]. w. Domingos preached from
the text in Isaiah: Come now, and let
us reason together saith the Lord; though
your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as
white as snow; though they be red like
crimson, they shall be as wool" Logi-
cally and eloquently he plead for an
earnest response on the part of sinners to
this gracious invitation from God, calling
attention, first, to the charge of sin stat
ed in the context. which is universal in it's
nature.
God appeals to mans reason" said Mr.
Domingos, (which is a law of his being
Gods demands are all reasonable. Re-
pentance, faith, love and obedience are al
together reasonable The religion of the
Bible is not religion of reason, but it is
not an unreasonable religion"
Then he dwelt upon the perfection and
fullness of Gods pardoning mercy, illus
trated in the promise of the text: Scarlet
and crimson are fastest colors and indi-
cate double dye. Sin can be eradicated
only by divine grace. The blood of Christ
cleanses from original and actual sin.
