JUDAS IscARIoT's CHARACTER.
Rev. j. II. ScrugEs' Analysis of
Chrfst's Betrayer.

Rev. DR.. ]. Fl. Scruggs, pastor OF Trim
ity Church, preached last night upon the
history and character of Judas Iscariot.
DR.. Scruggs read the scriptural account
of the calling of the twelve apostles by
Christ, and the commission to the twelve
to go forth throughout Judea and preach
TO the Jews, the twelve being empowered
TO heal the sick. cast out devils and per-
form other miracles
Judas, DR.. Scruggs noted, was one Of the
twelve called by Christ to the Apostolic
college, and was given this commission
to perform miraculous deeds in the name
of Christ
DR.. Scruggs took the position that
Christ knew the character of Judas, as
was evident from his several references
to his treacherous intentions. An interest
ing discussion of the attitudes in which
Christ might appear by reason of his APP
pointment of Judas, whose character he
knew, to the apostleship, was given. If
Christ appointed Judas to the apostleship,
knowing him to be a thief, he said, con-
dition of affairs was presented totally
foreign to all our conceptions of Him.
The preacher took the position that Ju
das' act was not compulsory, that 1t was
not foreordained that he should betray his
master. If Judas were compelled to do
this thing he said, then he is clear of all
responsibility and there would be no JUS
tice in his condemnation. God foreknows
all things and he, therefore, foreknew the
betrayal of Christ by Judas, but he did
not compel him to do it.
DR. Scruggs pictured Judas as a man
greedy for wealth and power. Holding to
all the preconceived notions of the Jews
as to the coming of the Messiah, who
should restore the kingdom, and make it
independent, wealthy and powerful EX
pecung Messiah of this kind he
accepted Christ as such and even
the words of Christ to the contrary
failed to undeceiVe him for a
time. He attached himself to Christ, hop
ing to share in his temporal power Real
izing at last that Christ had no such in
tention, that there was no prospect of
personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT, that the words
of Christ, spoken some time before, as to
his reception by the Jews and His own
shameful death were apparently about to
be fulfilled, he forsook the Master whom
he had followed for the hope of gain, and
by his treachery contributed to bring
about the end which had been foretold.
DR.. Scruggs held that the measure of Ju-
das guilt was full and that he merited the
condemnation melted out to him He point
ed out that Judas chief sin was covetous-
ness, and thar in this he had many fol-
lowers. Covetousness is a hard thing to
contend with, he said, because it results
in the accumulation of wealth and wealth
commands respect.
The millionaire is courted and flattered,
no matter how he gained his wealth.

THE CENTR AIS STOCK.
sOuthern's Fight Before Judge Speer
on Wednesday.

on wednesday,.
The hearing of the petition of the Dun
lap Hardware Company and other citizens
of Macon for a receiver for the stock of
the Central of Georgia Railway Company.
now held by the reorganization committee
in New York, will come up before Judge
Speer in Macon on Wednesday,
The answer of the Southern railway, the
defendant 10 the suit, has just been filed
in the United States Court in Macon, as
stated in yesterdays dispatches in The
Morning News. The Central railroad has
not been made a party defendant to the
suit but is interested in it, of course. be-
cause it's officials want 10 avoid any re-
ownership of the stock for obvious rea-
sons The control of the stock by a re-
ceiver of the court would give him con-
troll of the directory of the company, and
thus practically of the road.
This is the litigation which the same
parties besought the Governor to investi-
gate as the representative of the people,
and which Gov. Atkinson refused to do.
They then brought the petition themselves
in Judge Speer's court. The alleged ground
Is the asserted ownership by the Southern
of all the stock CT the Central, through
which. it is claimed. competition is de-
feated in violation of the constitutional
provisions. The Southerns answer to this,
as was stated yesterday, is that it has
no interest, actual of assumed. in the Cen
trail stock, but that it is held and has at
all times since the reorganization of the
properties now composing the Southern,
been held by the reorganization committee
The same subject was stirred up before
the railroad commission some time ago
A similar showing was made, and the eff
fort to have the well-known rule l en-
forced was dropped.
1t is believed that the present litigation
has at the back of it a certain disgruntled
party OF parties in Macon, who are seek
ing to make trouble. Il Is probable that
the merits Of the case will be gone into on
Wednesday.

CEASE TO DO EVIL.
Rev. o. +. Cooks Sunday Talk to
Young Men.

Rev. o. F. Cook. pastor of Grace NIetho-
dist Church, talked to young men at the
Y. NJ. c. A. yesterday afternoon on the
subject: Cease to do evil" There was
not a large gathering, but those who heard
the talk were interested
The reasons for living good lives were
pointed out with view to imprassing the
influence of obedience to Gods law. Tho
effect on others with whom the evil doere
associate daily and the effect on the evil
doors themselves was indicated in a man
ner which gave many a potter idea of tba
harm they do others by living unrishteous-
ly. The power of example was often effec-
tive when moi noticed, and much harm
was done by people who probably never
realized it.
The Importance Of timely reformation
was spoken of. Rev. Cook did NOT take
the position that men should defer work
ing out their salvation until at the thresh-
old of death.

Every interest of Great Britain puts
her under bonds to keep the peace with
us. Why, sir, if Great Britain should
throw her shells into any of our great
cities-Boston, New York or Philadel-
phia-she would in all human PROBABLE
ity destroy more property belonging to
British subjects tt an to American sub
jects. Laughter and cries of ''Oh,
no!'1 Mr.. Chairman, if we can go on
in the line we are now following it will
be only little while when Great Brit
ain will own all the property here.
Why, sir, the Rothschilds, whose
home is in Great Britain and who are
represented by Belmont & Co., have
now an option on the Treasury of the
of the United States until the 1st of
October, if we were informed correctly
yesterday.
Now, who do you expect is going to
attack us? What nation will have any
incentive to do so? Why, sir, we feed
the nations of the world. The minute
any foreign nation attacks this country
she cuts off her means of supply and

starve themselves to death if they
should blockade our ports.
There is another view of this ques-
