At the First Baptist Church-Splendid
 Services Being Held at Revival

Another big congregation crowded the First Baptist chuch last night to attend the revival services now being carried on by Dr. Broughton and Mr. Wolfsohn. of At lanta. All of the Baptists in the city. as well as the members of many other churches, are taking great interest in the l meetings.
 l The singing at these services is especially l good A large choir has been organized and special musical programmes will be ar- ranged later. Mr. Wolfsohn sang with much expression and beauty last night: Have You Any Room For Jesus" and Saved By | Grace"
 Dr. Broughton took for his theme last night that of False Converts" He went l on to say that there were many members of the church who thought themselves good Christians who were really worshipping false gods

 Another false convert is the man who doesn't believe in missionary work He doesn't believe in saving the world nothing more than his family and friends.
 Dr. Broughton told of a minister who was once assisting him in holding a revival who when the missionary collection was taken up enclosed in an envelope 5-cent piece which he intended to be divided among the mission boards of the foreign, home and state societies.
 The man or woman who worships pleasure is a false convert. A church mem ber/who goes to the theater, dances, plays cards or commits any other of these so- ca sins and who does not afterward feel remorse for the same is not true Chris tian and is unconverted.
 A church member who does not give lib- verted. The word of God teaches unmis- takably that Christian should give at least one-tenth of his income for his work, and still some church members give noth- ing at all. r.
 The long-faced, somber church member is not a true convert. The world is suffer- ing for the want of joyous, happy faces among Christian people, who are really the happiest people in the world.

TO MEET NEXT IN
 SAN FRANCISCO Bishops of Episcopal Council So Decided Yesterday
AZ TER A LONG DISCUSSION
Deputies Accepted Number of Articles -Question of Trial Of Bishops Lead to Long Controversy Remar-
 riage of Divorced Persons.

2 Washington. October 12.-The house of bishops of the Episcopal council today voted to hold the convention of 1901 at San Francisco. In the house of deputies an eff fort was made to concur in this action, but on objection the immediate consideration of the resolution of the bishops went to the calendar.
 The deputies today, after a long discus sion. accepted the Allowing articles:
 Dioceses and missionary districts may be united into provinces in such manner and under such conditions and with such pow CTS as shall be provided by the canon of the general convention, provided, however, that no diocese shall be included in the provinces without its own consent
 Article of the proposed new constitu- ton relating to the qualifications of priests and deacons necessary to constitution and conservation
 An amendment was adopted providing that in the declaration of belief required of bishops, priests and deacons, the word "doctrines' shall be in the singular form. as representing the fundament principle or belief of the church, and opposed to the plural form, which sets forth its teachings
 The article was, Dr. Dix explained, in accord with existing law, except with slight changes in phraseology, was adopted.
 Article g. regarding the tr al of bishops, presbyteries and deacons for offenses con- trary to discipline led to considerable de- bate on the clause relating to appeals to the higher church courts and finallly re- committed
 A message was received from the hause of bishops announcing the selection of San Francisco as place for hold ng the coun- eli for 1901.
 When article 1O relating to the use of the book of common prayer was taken up an amendment was offered in the shape of a provision on the subject of Christian unity by Rev. Dr. Huntington, of New York who made an impassioned appeal in behalf of the prime pies embodied in the amendment, saying he would be sorry to see this convention adjourn without doing something to promote the cause of Chris tian unity. The matters went over until tomorrow.
 The bishops spent the entire afternoon in the cons derat on of the canon relating to the remarriage of divorced persons, but without finishing it adjourned until to- morrow.
 Incidental to the convention was a meet ,ng of the American Building Fund com mission The annual report showed that it's fund amounts to s343,S90, an increase during the last three years of $6S,OOO.

AT THE CUMBERLAND CHURCH.
Dr. Hendricks Services Continue to
 Grow in Numbers and Enthusiasm.

The largest congregation that has assem- bled this week at the Cumberland Presby- terian church to attend the revival services now being carried on at that church by pr. Kendrick was present at the church last night Not only are the meetings growing in numbers, but also in enthusiasm. and they will doubtless result in the accom- plishment of great good. The Central Presbyterian church has joined with the Cumberland Presbyterians in making the meetings a success, and from now on 1t twill be known a joint meeting. Dr. Handley of the Central church will conduct the opening services at tonights meeting.
 Dr. Hendrick took for his theme last night "The anchors of the soul'-Hebrews, 6-19. He went on to show that anchors were used by ships ir ocean travel for safety, and were the means by which the ship could be moored to something solid-in oth- CT words, to a place of safety.
 The first anchor in the Christians life is to be true to ones self. The poet Pope, has said "Know myself" and man should remember all the numerous opportunities which he has during life. Dr. Hendrick said that he believed in man or woman giving their soul to Christ early in life; that he wouldn't preach people to heaven who died without Christ.
 The second anchor of the Christian is to be true to home, and is probably one of the greatest anchors of ones life.
 'I have the greatest contempt said the preacher, flor any man who calls his fa- ther old man his mother old woman.' Always try to treat your mother with re- spect, for when she is gone you will never get another. She is a friened to you in need, and she is truly friend indeed"
 A Christian should be anchored to his re- ligion-anchored firmly to the faith of our fathers and mothers. "i like the old song," said he, which goes, Give me that old time religion; it was good for our fathers it's good enough for me- I don't believe in that old theory that preachers children are the worst children of all. Statistics don't prove it, and it don't stand to reason that it should be SOL tf-a
 Christian should be anchored to the church. He should be faithful in attend- ance on all of tho services, and in this way, as well as in many others, help the preacher all he can. 1-p
 The Bible is also one of the safest an-a chors of the true Christian. deputy marshal out in Texas travels with Bih9ie in one side of his grip and a pistol in. the other. He always has the Holy Scriptures with him.
 And lastly, the Christian should be an chored to Christ. '1 knew of a good old man." said Dr. Hendrick, "who, when dy- ing, was unable to recognize a single one of his children who were gathered around his bedside but when asked did he know Jesus, smiled and said Always = h'G-r |
 Services will be heled this afternoon at O clock. at which time MT. Wolfsohn, of Atlanta, will sing. Services again at 7:S0 tonight.

[Continued From First Page.1 is responsible for the introduction of the fever into Mississippi, and the Louisiana board of health has been charged with con- cealing cases of fever in that city. This may or may not be true, but the belief in it is strong, and it will not be surprising if radical measures are not resorted to next year against New Orleans in the effort to keep out infection from this state
 The appearance of fever at the A and M college is a conspicuous illustration of the readiness of the yellow fever of this sea- son. There is no more secluded and iso- lated spot in the state than the college Which Is mile distant from the town of Starkville. On this subject a recent issue of the Vicksburg Herald says:
 Migratory Microbes
 Reasoning from what Is known, or ap- parent, there are hundreds of places in Mississippi where the fever was more liable to appear than at the college. Odds of a hundred to one would have been laid that V1cksburg and a score of other places would be visited by an epidemic start ng from New Orleans rather than Starkville. This fact should shield the state board of health from censure for not preventing the fever from scattering. What is occurring when the fever skips Vicksburg Natchez Merid an, Greenville, Yazoo City and
 
 for some of the most secluded-is enough to Justify loss of faith in the virtue of the interior quarantines; or to stagger credul- ity in the diagnosis that declares these m gratory microbes to be yellow fever"
 The official report of new cases of yellow fever for Jackson today Is eleven. the same yesterday. All of the new cases but one are white and well distributed over the city. The cool weather continues and its - possible ght frost may fall tonight. which would pe~ very carry The officiaf report of pr. Hunter is as follows:
 Dr. Murray, who Investigated suspicious sickness at Columbus, Miss, reported no yellow fever; six cases of dengue; Madison five new cases, one white, four colored; Harrison, eleven new cases, eight white, tree colored; Taylors. no new cases, one death; Oxford, three new cases, one death. Today's report from Waveland gives two new cases, and states that infection is traceable to New Orleans. Natchez re- ports no new cases and the two original cases discharged.
