In hearty accord with the general British
and Canadian sympathy for the United

Real British feeling towards the United

COLORED COLLEGE LECTURES.
The First of the Spring Course by
Rev. j. j. Durham,

The First of the Spring Course by
Rev. j. j. Durham.
The first of the series of lectures on the
lege, was delivered Friday by Rev. ]. j.
Durham, d. D., of the Second Baptist
Church. His subject was 1.-The Miracles
of Christ" He began by defining the word
miracle" as a wonderful happening con-
trary to the natural order or constituted
course of things.
But" he said, I'VE are to discuss the
miracles of Christ, and we take the scrip
tural definition of miracles, as the defini-
tons usually found in our dictionaries do
not give us that which we find in the
scriptures, the miracles accorded only III
the Bible" After giving the Hebrew and
Greek words he defined the scriptural mir
acle in three words-marvel, mighty work;
sign. The three terms show different as
poets of the mircle.
THE subject itself implies that Christ
did perform miracles. But if there were
any doubt it ought to be dispelled by the
fact that so many who saw him affirm
that ne did and no one denies. Even
his enemies acknowledge his power to do
mighty works. Those of later days who
deny that Christ performed miracles
consider the testimony of those who were
there and the nature and purpose of the
miracles. Let US consider the miracles
with mission and claims of Christ. The
greatest mission of Christ was to reveal
himself TO man and the way of salvation
TO sinners. He was to prove that he was
the Messiah the Son of God. This is sU-
pernatural and needs superna tural proof.
He proves this by his miracles in two
ways They reveal his character and part
of his teachings. His teachings were
thought 10 be supernatural and his means
must be supernatural. 1t was necessary
for Him to work miracles, as a marvel
to call attention to Himself and His doc
trine as mighty work to convince men
of his deity and as a sign to impress some
teaching. AS sign the miracle is Moth
ing in Itself, but only as it stands for
something Christs first miracle at Cana
of Gallee was for two things; it mani
Tested His glory and it-made His disciples
believe. Ii showed His true character,
His rank, His majesty.
DIR. Durham gave other examples show
ing that the miracle as a marvel was to
bring men TO know his true character.
That many testified to this is shown in
John 2:29. Nicodemus, seeing His mighty
works, said 1--WE know Thou art a
teacher come from Cod
In the second place, he said: Miracles
were advantageous because they attest the
truth of His claims and are equivalent 10
a seal or signature of God indorsing His
authority
The lecture was less than an hour and
was highly interesting and instructive 10
the young men and visitors. The next
lecture will be next Friday. DR.. Whitman

suit Merely GuesswOrl1-GOssfp Of
the Teams.
There will be two games played in the
Association Indoor Base Ball League this
week, which will end the series. The first
game will be played Wednesday night by
the teams of the C. L. A. and the Y. NJ
H. A, and Friday night the c. L. AS
and Y. NJ. c. AS VIII do battle.
The sale of reserved seats for Wednes-
day nights game will begin Tuesday
morning and for Friday nights game
Thursday morning at Y. M C. A. hall. Not
more than five seats will be sold to any
one person, and the managers of the teams
and directors of the league will not be per-
mitted to purchase tickets for others.
The following is the present standing of
the clubs:
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-04-17

1t will be seen that the Y. NJ C. AS
are leading, with the Library team second
and the Hebrew team third. The Y. NJ
II. A. and Y. NJ. c. A. teams have played
nine games, while the C. l.. A. has PLAYED
but eight.
There are several ways of figuring out
the probable outcome of the race, but all
of them are merely guesses, and even TAX
ing the present standing of the teams into
consideration it is any teams pennant. If
the Y. M. c. AS should win its remain
ing game, which is with the Library team.
it will win the pennant, no matter how
the game between the C. L. AS and Y.
NJ. H. AS comes out. If the Library
team wins both its games the trophy will
grace the rooms of Catholic Library Hall
for a year to come. Another way to figure
it is this: If the Y. VI. II. AS win from
the Library boys Wednesday night and
the Library boys win from the Y NJ. C.
Az Friday all three teams will be tied
In this event a series of three games
would be played to decide the winner.
Smith for the Y. NJ H. A. and Horri-
gan for the c. L. AS will be pitted
against each other in the box Wednesday
hAShAs anu nay tOI anu SQtllNdn VIII do
the backstop work Both teams will fill
their other positions with the strongest
men they have and the fight for the game
will be a stubborn one.
The Library team will play the same
battery and doubtless the entire same team
in Friday nights game. Thompson and
Hopkins, supported by the fastest team the
Y. NJ G. AS can put out. will be the
battery for the Christian association.
Once more the directors call upon the
patrons of the games to keep quiet. The
neighbors have promised to make il I'M
pleasant for the league if the unearlhly
noises which have characterized some or
the games is repeated and the directors
want to avoid this. Now, will you be

The Library team has two games to
play this week, with only one night in.
tervening between games. The Library
team has lot of work cut out for il
and if the boys want that trophy as bal
as they say they do they had better &c,
down to hard practice right away.
The absence of both of the Brady bows
from the Library team will be felt In
the closing games.
