IDOLS IN IsRAELs TINE AND NOW
Men WOrshipped Gold as Animals
Then, as Dollars To-day

Evangelist Gales took for the subject of
his talk last night the eighteenth chapter
of LIST Kings, the incident of Elijah and the
prophets of Baal. He recalled the history
of Israel from the time of the Egyptian
captivity through the forty years IN the
wilderness to the time of the incident in
the text showing Gods goodness to them
and the blessings he showered on them,
and their ingratitude in turning from him,
and lapsing into idolatry. The Evangelist
compared them to people of this day, and
time, and even in this country and nation,
who bow down and worship false gods a.
truly as did Israel. They worshipped metal
cast into the shape of a calf or some other
animal and men now worship the same
metal cast into round dollars Every heart
worships something, either God or some
idol.
Many people in the church professedly
Christians, at heart worship an idol in
some form or other, said the evangelist
The usual places of public amusement the
dance hall, and the card party, are not
conducive, he said, to the advancement of
Christian character and work and they are
no places for the Christian. They cannot
live in this manner and retain their peace
and happiness. There is" he said mo
real heart happiness unless Christ owns
us, and Teigns In US. In hours of extremity
our idols will avail nothing Give up the
sin that is keeping you away from Christ ;
repudiate it, and if the Lord be God, fol-
low Him.
AS a word of warning, the evangelist
said, "Satan's best, strongest and most eff
fective plea with the sinner is wait till to-
morrow
There is plenty of time, there is no hur-
ry," he says THE Bible is true, that
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that there
is a heaven and a hell, but wait till to-
morrow
The evangelist exhorted the people to
dethrone their idols, and let Jesus reign in
their hearts, not tomorrow, but to-
night.
Mr.. Gales will preach three times to-
morrow at II a. M, p. m, and D. m
The meeting at O'Clock is for young peo-
pie. Mr.. Gales will use the blackboard in
Illustrating his talk to the young people
Tuesday will be a special day. In addi-
ton to the neighborhood prayer meetings
in the morning, there will be two special
meetings. One for women only, at D. M,
and one for men only a p. m. At the
mems meeting, Mr.. Gales will take for his
subject "A Straight Talk on Crooked Sub
jects" Tickets will be distributed for this
meeting. Ten members of the church will
have them. This talk of Mr.. Gales to men
is said to be one of his best. 1t has been
very highly spoken of in other cities.

Success.


Success.
The ability of the ladies OF Trinity
Church to entertain successfully was again
emphasized last night. The social in the
parlors of the church was well attended,

tertained with songs, music, recitations
and refreshments. These affairs are
given monthly by the ladies', who are d.
Nijed into sections for the Arrangement
and conduct of the socials.
The opening number Of The programme
was one of the best. 1t was a piano solo.

and expression by Miss Shuptrine A dec
lamation, Character of Washington" de-
livered by Mr.. II. C. Shuptrine was one
of the most effective of the numbers of

the distinct success that always marks
her responses. Her rendition of "The
Charmed Cup won continuous applause,
and, as an encore Mrs. Silva sang. "At

lighted with the first The performance

TEACHERS STUDY IN COURSES.
Normal Class ReOrganized and Sepa-
rated Into Divisions.


The teachers of the normal class met
yesterday afternoon in the four divisions
that had been indicated by Supt. Ash
more at the last meeting. The superin-
tendent announced that the class would
begin a new course of instruction, and
that four teachers would assume charge
of the divisions to take up the courses.
Supt. Ashmore has charge of the division
engaged in the study of the principles of
psychology; Mr.. w. S. Wilson of the
High School is directing the studies of
those who will be in his class in higher
arithmetic; DR.. w. F. Galloway, princi-
pal of Chatham School, No. 2, is in charge
of the class in grammar, and Mr. j. NJ
Cannon of the High School is at the head
Of the class taking the course in English
and synonyms.
The teachers are very evenly divided
into the four classes, although each is
purely elective. The superintendent mott
fed them that they could enter any class
they might see fit. but that the class en-
tered would have to be the one to which
they would stick during the entire course,
which embraces some three months The
conclusion of the courses studied during
last term made it necessary for Mr.. Ash
more TO determine upon others to take
their places. Tho result was his selection
of those mentioned. In deciding upon
what subjects in which TO give the menu
bers of the normal class an additional
course of training the superintendent is
influenced by the consideration of what
will be of the greatest good to the great
est number of them and by the relation
ship borne by the subjects themselves to
the work of the schools of the city.
The subjects selected for the present

GIVEN A VERDICT FOR $3.50.
Granville BeviII's Successful Suit
Against the Central.

Against the Central.
The jury in the case of Granville BeviIl
VS.. the Central of Georgia Railway, re-
turned a verdict yesterday in favor of
Mr. BeviIl for $1,75O. He sued for 5000
damages for injuries incurred in an acct
dent which he alleged to be due TO the
carelessness or righteousness of employees
of the railway company Aug. 10 last.
Mr.. Bevill was out buggy riding with
his wife on the Louisville road, about five
miles west of the city. The horse ran
away and Mr.. and Mrs. Bevin were
thrown out into a ditch. Two bones of
Mr.. BevilPs right leg were broken as the
result Of which he was confined to his
house for some time and from which he
yet suffers. He claimed that the runa-
way was caused by some one on a Cen
trail Railway locomotive which was
standing on the Y at the Charleston and
Savannah crossing malciously opening a
gauge cock and allowing steam to escape
for the purpose of frightening the horse
Mr.. Bevil claimed that at the time the To-
connective was standing partly on the pub
lie roadway.
The railway company denied the asser-
lions of Mr.. Bevill and set up the claim
that the horse began running away before
the buggy reached the railroad track, and
that the first seen of the affair by the men
on the engine was when the horse dashed
by with the wrecked buggy, which was
then without occupants.
Judge TWiggs was Mr.. Bevill's attor-
ney and the railway company was repre-
scented by Mr.. T. M. Cunningham, Jr. The
jury agreed upon verdict in an hour and
fifteen minutes. A motion W Il doubtless
be made by the railway company for a
new trial.
