CHAPLAIN THOMAS AT WESLEY.
HIS Sermon Listened TO by a Large
congregation.

The pulpit Of Wesley Monumental
Church was occupied yesterday morning
by Rev. Frank Thomas, chaplain of the
Third Kentucky Regiment.
Mr.. Thomas and Rev. Ed f. Cook, pas
tor of Wesley Church, were students to-
gether at Vanderbilt University, and Mr..
Thomas prefaced his sermon with touch
ing alluslon to this earlier friendship, at
tributng his conversion in part to the
sympathy and advice of Mr.. Cook at a
time when he was perplexed and undecid-
ed.
Mr.. Thomas preached from Paurs Epis-
tie to the Colossians, Chap. 1, VS.. % and
q. Paups later writings, he said, present
a striking contrast to his earlier epistles.
The latter show that he was passing
through a storm and stress period, that
the religious life was to some degree sull

not often attain this standard because of
his natural frailty. but that is no reason
why he should abandon il. Man does not

the natural world; the physician is fire.

WHEATON STREET COMPLETED.
Brick Paving Finished and Will he
Packed With Sand.

The opening and paving of Wheaton
street to Harmon street has been COM
ploted There has been considerable de-
lay in the work owing TO the slow arriv-
al of material and the putting down of
the house drainage pipes, but the advan-
tage taken of opportunities to hurry the
work has enabled Director Gadsden to
complete it within reasonable time.
1t is the intention of the street and lane
committee TO have the road treated in
the same, way as the brick paving in
front of the city exchange, by using sand
instead of pitch, to fill the cracks. BY
using sand much is saved. and it is
claimed the paving is quite as solid. By
remaining for a week or ten days on
street over which there is much traffic
the sand is first powdered then forced into
the cracks. making a solid mass Since
it has been found satisfactory as used at
the exchange, it is probable this method
of sOlidifying the brick will be adopted
in all instances.
1t was the original intention of the com
mittee to pave Wheat street up to the
toll gate, and unless some thing intervenes
IL is believed this will be done The prop
erty owners in that section are making an
urgent request for it, calming it will be
of great value to their property
There is considerable other brick paw
ing to be done around Savannah in the
near future. No doubt seems to exist In
the minds of the aldermen but the re-
quests of property owners on President
street, east of East Broad street. TO have
the street paved with brick, will be grant
ed by Council and an ordinance introduce

make this Improvement on President
street, property owners in the vicinity OF

The suit of Homer Edwards against the
Central of Georgia Railway Company in
Efngham Court last week resulted in a
verdict for the plaintiff for $500. This is
rather a large verdict to be obtained at
a country court.
Edwards was employed as a fireman on
the Central and in a case of emergency
was ordered by the engineer TO perform
a risky piece of work In attempting to
do so his foot was caught IN frog on
the track and he was run over, having
both legs badly mangled and being maiIn-

Finds in the Bible.
From the New York Press.
When DR.. Briggs was made a deacon
he vowed that he "unfeignediy believed
all the canonical Scriptures Of the Old
and New Testaments." When he is or
dained priest ne will vow that
he will be ready. with all faithful dill
gence. to Danish and drive away from
the church all erroneous and strange doc
trines contrary TO Gods Word"
In his book, General Introduction to
the Study of Holy Scripture" he says
there are Scientific errors in the Bible,
errors Of astronomy, of geology. of zoolo-
gy of botany and of anthropology."
There are myths in the stories of the
book Of Genesis and in the poetry of JOB,
Isaiah, Ezekiel, zechariah, and not Il
few of the Psalms"
THE book of Ruth is a charming idyl"
"The two miracles reported in Jonah
are more like the wonders Of The Arab
ian Nights than the miracles of Moses, Of
Elijah. of Elisha or of Jesus and His Apos-
ties. The repentance of Ninevehi is an
ideal of the imagination"
1.-THE book of Daniel also belongs to the
group of prose literature that may be
called historical fiction" a.I-4+
"The sole redeom!ng feature Of the book
(of Esther is its patriotism"
1.-The story Of the speaking with tongus
lin many different ianguages) a Pentacost
is psychologically and physically incred-
is@t,o.'
mo human imagination has ever eaual-
ed the Imagination of the Lord Jesus in
story telling"
Higher criticism comes into conflict
with the authority Of Scripture when il
finds thai it's doetrnai statements are not
authoritative and lis revelations are not
credible. If the cred.bility of a book is i'm
peaehed, it's divine authority and inspira-
ton are also impeached."

Street Railway Claims to Have TAX
en- Out 5000 People.
The street railway people thought the
travel to Thunderbolt yesterday was the
largest it has been since the circus has
been giving free performances there. Gen
eral Manager Lotion estimated that 5000
people went out on the cars during the
day. Many of them spent the time at the
music garden, the circus, the side show,
or in wandering through the maze.
An arrangement was made so that the
incoming cars would make the waits at
switches, instead of the heavily loaded
outgoing cars. This was a great conve-
nience to the public, and served to keep
many passengers from becoming impa-
tient. Mr. Lotion has arranged to keep
the circus another week, but at the end
of that time il will leave for other Georgia
points. Among the crowds at Thunderbolt
yesterday were to be seen many of Sa-
vannah's best people.
