The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-12-12

in thought, diction and delivery, and those
who hear him are invariably impressed.
He is a, young man, being but 2j and his
popularity with the members of the regi-
ment officers and men, is great. There
is probably no chaplain in the service who
is younger than he.
When the Macon Volunteers elected to
go TO war and TO become a company Of
the First Battalion of the First Georgia
Regiment, under Lieut.. Col j. f. Brooks
of Savannah, Mr. Warren volunteered IS a
private. He had been member Of the
company for some years. 1t was compris-
ed of many of the best young men of Ma
con, and Mr.. Warren had always been
one of the most popular of its members.
He is a lawyer by profession, but it is not
unlikely that he may adopt the ministry
as mis- calling. 1t was not long since that
he felt the call and, when the volunteers
left for Griffin to be mustered into the
service, he saw an opportunity TO do good.
1t was as chaplain of the company that
he went. This was position that carried
with it the rank of private. As company
chaplain Mr. WaPrens worth and ability
became all the more apparent, and when
The Third Georgia Regiment was formed,
his name at once occurred 20 the Governor.
A chaplain was wanted and no better one
was to be found than Mr.. Warren.
The chaplain's relations with the officers
and men Of the regiment are most cordial.
There is a perfect good feeling, and the
young chaplain is universally liked and
admired. He is a graduate of the law
school of the University of Georgia, and
is a great athlete. In the athletic exer-
cises that are indulged in among the mem
bers of the Third there is no more success
ful competitor than the chaplain.
Chaplain Warren's sermon was drawn
from the text: whether We eat or drink or
whatever we do, do all for the glory of
God" 1t was a sermon on practical reliS-
ion, and the closest attention was paid MIR.
Warren He read of the Christ having
taken the disciples upon the mount and
their descent 70 work among the people,
and from the passage he drew the analogy
of present religious labor. He said that
one should descend from a plane of too
great spiritual elevation to every day life
and thought and do good wherever the
opportunity may be seem
It was forcbly shown that religion
should obtain in every walk and sphere of
life; that it should be taken into The camp,
the home business and society. 1t was
commended as the best and only safe
guard that can be thrown about young
solder fresh from the influences of home.
Homo without religion, The preacher said,
is not home, and those are only happy
that have it taught and practiced. In bus
mess dealings it should govern men and
they should be ever conscious Of The
strengthening influence of God.
MIR. Warren asked if, in society, all is
done for the glory of God? There are
those. he said, who do ali for the glory
of SATAN and for self, but nothing for God.
The whole social system is false, and its
laws compel yelling of the true feelings
that are never more than suspected. Gus
toms fix its laws and place society, a crea-
ton OF man. IN opposition 10 religion,
which is of God. Instances were cited to
show how society shuns those who, though
Christians, do not get within its portals
and a striking contrast was shown be-
tween the treatment of modern Mary
Magdalen and that she received at The
hands of Christ and his followers. This,
however. Mr. Warren did not condemn.
He said there are reasons why 1t should
be SO that seem insurmountable, and that
the welfare and protection of society de-
mand the ostracistn of those once fallen.
Practically was said to be the very life
of religion and that without 1t religion
would be nothing. Trusting in Him we
need never fear that His strength may
not be sufficient TO enable us to do all
things to his honor and glory.
The band of the Ninth Illinois Regi-
ment was in attendance, and several
HYMNS were played. All the music was
lead by the band. One of the selections
was God Be With You Til We Meet
Again" This was sung at the instance Of
the pastor, Rev. DR.. w. C. Schaeffer, who
said he wanted the congrega ton to sing
it 30 the soldiers and the soldiers to sing
it back to the congregation. It was sung
with a viii and feelingly. Upon the eve
of the departure of the soldiers for Cuba
and whatever dangers it may have in
store for them, the singing of the hymns
was affecting, and the prayer went up
from many hearts in accompaniment to
the words of the song.
