EVANGELIST GALES on EXCUSES.
He VIII Preach Tonight on Col. In
gcrsOITs Lecture.

Evangelist Gales took as his subject last
night the incident mentioned in Luke,
14th chapter: And they all began with one
accord to make excuse" He noted that
the excuses had to be made or rather man
ufactured. Even while these excuses were
so fimsy they were accepted and those in
vited were allowed to stay away, if they
chose.
These same excuses" said Mr.. Gales,
ARE made now, and even within the shad-
ow Of the church. There are many ex-
cuses, but no real reason why any one
should reject the offer of salvation. But
5000 years ago the devil whispered an eX-
cuse and it has been done ever since. Most
excuses are too frivolous TO mention.
Many say it is too hard to be Chris
tian. 1t Is not so hard to be a Christian,
but it is hard to become a Christian, and
give up the bad habits which have grown
to have a strong hold upon US. Does
man sit quietly down and let his family
starve to death because it may be hard
to provide the necessary means Of susten-
ance for them? Does he refuse TO meet
his business obligations because it may be
hard to do so? He should not be called a
man If this il so. Even supposing all this
is so, should a man say because it is hard
TO be a Christian, I will make my bed in
help"
A man may say God is too good to send
him to hell He is; he offers salvation
as a free gift, and if man refuses it he
cannot blame God for the consequences.
Many people make the excuse that they
cannot unders tand the Bible; and because
they don't like some parts say it is not
inspired. Many bad men and many good
but deluded men may buti their puny
brains out against it, but the word Of God
stands when they are gone and lost for
ever. One of the worse excuses is, Il am
not so bad and for the excuse the great
est crime-the rejection of Christ is made
by the most respected people in the COM
munity. Mr.. Ga.es then touched on back
sliding and hypocrisy and concluded with
the plea to all such to turn again to the
Savior and live.
Cottage prayer meetings will be held this
morning at II O'Clock at the following res
licences: Mrs Mark, corner Eighth and

nett; Mrs. White, No. 2l1 Bolton. west;

Mayor Meldrim, President Williams of
the Cotton Exchange and President Purse
of the Board of Trade viii get together to-
day and map out the programme for the
reception and entertainment Of
the members of the river and
harbor committee who are to arrive here
Friday night to remain Saturday.
So far only trip down the river has
been decided upon. The steamship City
of Augusta has been rendered for this pur-
pose by the Ocean Steamship Company ana
has been accepted by Mayor Medrm. As
the Augusta is one of the handsomest and
best equipped of the steamships plying in
and out of Savannah the committee is for
tuuate in securing such a desirable vessel
for the trip.
The steam pilot boat j. II. Estill was
rendered yesterday by the Pilots Naviga-
ton Company for the use OF the commit
tee during its stay in Savannah. The City

ton to the extent of the letter The ner-
chants would have been pleased to have
appointed delegates. but the busy season
would render their attendance inconve-
nient.

FIFTH ANNUAL PICNIC.
Members OF the Episcopal Sunday
School Have Their Fifth Annual
Outing on Lyman Ro5i-
sons Lawn.

The Fifth Annual picnic of Christ
Church Sunday school was held yes
terday on the beautiful lawn sur
rounding the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Lyman Robson in South Canon. Mrs.
Robson is herself faithful teacher
in the school, and it has been her
custom once each year toiinvite her
co-workers and the children in their
care to partake of her hospitality,
and the outings have proven most
delightful. This year between eigh-
ty and ninety children were present
and the occasion was also one of
happy reunion of teachers and par
ents. The entertainment was varied,
games and childish sports occupying
a major portion of the time, while
the presentation of prizes was a
beautiful diversion. Each attendant
of the school who had not missed being
present at all sessions during the
year, was made the recipient of q
valuable token of acknowledgement OF
his or her faithfulness.
A very happy welcome was ac-
corded Mrs. Henry Earle, her health
permitting her to be present, she be-
ing a great favorite with teachers and
pupils.
With those present words seem in
adequate to express their high appre-
citation in which Mr.. and Mrs. Robi-
sons qualifications as entertainers are
held, and only sentiments of praise
are heard.
Financially the Sunday School OF
Christ church is very prosperous,
the contributions for the past year
averaging about seven cents per
member every Sunday. After paying
all expenses and contributing literally
to all church work tone mission offer
ing amounting to $500 a surplus OF
$3.50 still remains in the treasury,
while the membership is increasing
