THE TAL1SMAN OF VICTORY.
Fighting for the Right, Gods Name
Is 81 Tower of Strength.

Fighting for the Right, Gods Name
Is Tower of Strength.
At the Duffy Street Baptist Church yes
terday morning Rev. J. d. Chapman had
as his topic The Talisman of Victory"
Selecting as his text the story of David
Staying Goliath, the Philistine giant, Mr.
Chapman said that as David had triumph
ell on that day in the name of the LORD
God of hosts, so through all The ages vic
tory would come to those who in the true
spirit of faith used the same talsman.
As Joshua, in that name, had command
ed the sun and the moon to stand still
as the walls of Jericho had fallen, as the
waves of the sea had been stlled as the
dead had been raised the cripple healed
and other miracles wrought in that name,
SO to-day the same talisman has the
power to achieve victory for the cause of
truth and of justice. The ages which
have passed since David went forth, arm
ed only with the sling and five stones, to
meet the great soldier of Gath, but rely
ing on the name of the God of the armies
OF Israel, have not marred or diminished
the power of that name
This taiisman, said Mr.. Chapman, can
be used only when the motives are high
and pure, and for the glory of God and
not the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of self. Rely
ing on the strength coming from God and
not in ones own power success must
come. Standing alone in the confden &c
that arises from faith in Gods promises,
currying no favor with the world, brave
~ and fearlessly espousing the right. the
battles Of life can be entered with the
assurance of victory. towards cannot ex-
pect to use this talisman. Neither God nor
man can make use of a coward in bat
tie. The spirit of confidence of determine
ton, must be present. If David had not
gone out to meet Goliath assured In his
own mind and soul of victory through
the power of God, the stone that he threw
would never have done its work. David
knew that God never goes back on those
who have faith in Him. The great trou-
Bile is, that too many people take too
much counsel with the world and too liz
tie with God, and then are surprised the
victory does not come.
All the glory of victory should be given
to God. David believed in prayer before
battle for help, and in prayer after VIC
tory in Thanksgiving. In fighting in a
cause that is right Gods name is bull
wark of strength, a talisman of victory

WANT THE MINES REMOVED.
Efforts at Various Ports to Secure
Their RemoVaI,

EFFORTS at various Ports to Secure
Their RemOvaI.
At a number of the Northern ports eff
forts are being made by those interested
in their commerce to induce the govern
ment to take UP the mines laid at the be-
ginning of the war. Even at Boston, where
tmidity seemed to run rampant, a petI-
ton is preparing asking the war depart
ment to remove the mines as unnecessary
Inconvenience and dangers to vessels en-
tering and leaving the harbor
The destruction Of Cerveras fleet is re-
garded as having removed the last exist
ing cause for the retention of mines I'm tho
harbors of the Atlantic coast. If the gov
eminent Is Of the same opinion IL is prob
able that the engineers win soon begin
their removal
No steps have been taken by the shin
ping men Of Savannah to this end and
none Is probably necessary. II it is deter
mined to remove the mines from the har-
bors of the North Atlantic the same rea-
sons would hold good for their taking lin
in the South Atlantic harbors, and eDcolal
petitions from this port would not be re-
Quired. Captains of vessels and the pilors
would doubtless be glad to know that The
mines were out OF the way, as IL imposes on
them an extra degree Of caution In their
movements and the hours Of entering am,
leaving port are restricted

THE ATLANTA ExCuRsIoN1sTs.
A Great Big Crowd at Tybee Yes
tcrday ina spite of the Rain.

tcrdny ina Spite of the Rain.
The Atlanta excursionists for Tybee ar
rived In the city yesterday morning in
large numbers. The special train from
the Gate City, bringing the retail grocers
excursion. arrived about an hour behind
the regular train, and brought about 400
passengers. The regular train had four
extra coaches and picked up some 200 ex-
cursionists for Tybee along the line In
addition TO these the Augusta excursion
train brought Gown about 100 making IA
total of something like $50 visitors from
outside for the day.
Most of the eXcursiOnists went down 20
the island early in the morning and got
their surf bath then. 1t was lucky they
did, for tie severe rains of the afternoon
made things rather unpleasant The Wis
itors spent their time almost altogelh her
around the hotels, and it was quite a wet
time they had of it in the afternoon. with
the rain coming Down in torrents for sew
eral hours without intermlssion. Most Of
the eNcursionlsts remained at Tybee last
night. but many Of them had to come 10
the city to secure rooms, as the two hotels
turned away something like 100 or 100
peope. Even with cots in the halls thev
could not accommodate the crowd that
wanted to stay. The special train win re-
turn TO Atlanta tonight, fol owing the
regular train AT 10 o'clock.

CARE OF PARADE GROUNDS.

Park nnd Tree Commission VIII See
About 1t at Once.
The weeds will apparently soon have
things their way in the Park Extension,
unless cut down. There Is a general
growth already over a foot high. and
within another week the matter will be
attracting the attention Of the health au-
thoritles
For some time the question as to what
department should attend to the parade
ground has been discussed. It has been
decided by City Attorney Adams that the
Park and Tree Commission can spend a
few dollars there without trespassing, and
it is likely the park will be moved under
its direction during the week.
''The condition of the park has been
called to my attention" said Health Off
Ger LeHardy yesterday. "and 1 trust the
proper authorities will have the weeds
chopped at once. 1t is a matter of import
anee to the public health Of the city. If
there is delay l shall probably have to
communicate, with the commissioners to
see what can be done towards cleaning rhe
park. The city has the necessary force
and equipment to do the work ana | 60
not see why there should be any delay"
The Park and Tree Commission will like
ly take the matter up, not only to clean
off the weeds, but to improve the park
generally. The members express their in
tentions of going ahead and if there is
an insufficient fund to do the work, they
will ask Council for a special appropria-
ton for the purpose. The city is repair
ing the walk east Of the extension, and
the commissioners propose, il possible. to
lay out new walks leading in different di-
rections through the park, as well as re-
pair the present ones. 1t is stated this
can be done at a reasonable cost to the
city, and the fact it has a right to make
such alterations as do not interfere with
the place as parade ground, mas been
authortadvely passed on until it is no
longer question
