Rev. Lansing burrows Sermon at the
First Baptist Last Night.

Rev. Lansing Burrows Sermon at the
First baptist Last Night.
A large congregation greeted Rev. j.
Lansing Burrows, of Augusta, at the First
Baptist Church at night.
In the pulpit besides DIR. Burrows and the
pastor. Rev. DR.. Jordan, were Rev. j. L.
Gross of Washington, DR.. G. A. Nun
nally of Forsyth, DR.. r. j. Willingham of
Richmond, and Rev. A. w. Bealer of
Gainesville.
DR.. Burrows was introduced by Mr.. Jor-
dan. who said that he had been resi-
dent of Georgia only two years. but he felt
already as if he were almost a Georgian.
The Georgians had been very kind to him,
among them especially, DR.. Burrows.
Dr Burrows text was from the OPEN
ing of Isaiah's prophecy, Come, let us
reason together, saith the Lord. Though
vour sins be as crimson they shan be
white as snow; though they be crimson
nixe scarlet, they shall be white as wool"
Dr Burrows said that ministers are 900
nrone TO make unwarrantable distinctions
between passages of scripture as being
.nnlicable only 70 the unconverted and of
others as applicable to those within the
church. He did not approve of this dis
tinction. As he grew in experience he was
more inclined to consider many of these
messages as applicable to those within the
cburch as well as to those without His
fext was one commonly Interpreted as ap,
nlving particularly to sinners of the vilest
description. the totally unregenerated,
those whose sins are as scarlet. and II
might be considered an inappropriate Sc
lection in addressing a congregation COM
nosed largely of ministers Of the gospel
and professing Christians. He had long
since ceased TO make such distinctions,
holding that these passages are applicable
to ali those within the church. as well as
those without. I'VE are all sinners saved

called upon them so frequently and so
constantly during his pastorate. that he
was afraid they would begin 20 exclaim
when will that beggar die" During the
last six months the eongregation has sub
scribed over $500 for various church pur-
poses In addition to 81 900 given TO a sister
church. Its name has not appeared among
those of the largest givers of the ConVen-
ton because of the fact that il has been
putting $500 a year In lots for a city mis-
sion. He had not pledged his church for
any amount, Mr. Jordan said, because he
did not feel that he had the right to do
so. His church had never failed him yet,
however. and he did not believe it would
do so this time.
The visiting members Of the convention
were especially notified not 10 subscribe,
the collection being purely a church mat
ter. Some of them expressed desire to
do so, and one or two insisted upon adding
their contributions because of the great
pleasure and spiritual benefit they had de-
rived from the meeting with the Savan-
nah church. Mr.. Jordan began the list
with $780, two or three others gave the
same amount several gave $50 each. and
a number of others $25 and lesser amounts.
With the subscriptions of over $TO0 OBJ
tained from the Duffy Street Church and
the amount subscribed by the First
Church. together with private subscrip-
tions, the foreign mission work will re-
ceive in the neighhorhood of S2,OO0 from

with the result that over $500 was sub
scribed or given In cash, and It Is pro-
posed to increase this amount to 81 600.

night, IN attendance upon the services at
other churches, or othewise the last named

reached last night.

secretary of the foreign mission board of

the morning sermon at the Duffy street
Baptist Church. The congregation was a
very large one filling the new and hand
some auditorium TO its capacity
Dr. Willingham took his text from John
lille: God so loved the world that ne
gave His only begotten Son. that whose
ever believieih in Him should not perish
but have everlasting life" His theme was
the work that is being done by the board
of foreign missions, and the imperative ne
cessity that exists for the vigorous prose-
cution of the noble effort TO save and re-
deem the heather peoples. From the
Scriptures he showed that this was
Chrsts express command, communicated
directly to His disciples and by them to
the Christian world.
This work, the speaker said must be
carried on, and for this purpose funds are
urgently needed FThe revenues of the
mission board are not sufficient to send

as missionaries in heather countries Ad-
ditional funds must be supplied, and they
must be supplied by Chr stian people. The
sermon was Illustrated by anecdotes and
stories showing the heroism, suffering and

AT the conclusion OF the services, the
speaker announced that a contribution

church contribute, as II was desired that

GERMS OF GRIP KILLED.
Experiments showing That These
Deadly Microbes Can BE Extermi-
mated.

Willard H. Morse, NJ. D., f. S. S. of
Westfield, n. j., weH-known and prom
inent consulting chemist and therapeutist.
has recently issued an important article
upon the treatment of grip. He took some
OF the germs or microbes of grip, put them
upon glass Slide under the microscope,
and killed them absolutely by a drop Of
whiskey. Such a demonstration of cure
would be sufficient for an ordinary observ-
er, nut ii was not enough for Dr. Morse.
He says we want also three things First
the preventive Of disease; second, the sus-
tanning of the powers of the body, and
third, rendering the system unfertile to
germs or bacilli. Therefore, he says, TO
successfully kill the germs of grip and
render the body able TO resist them, 1T
all depends on the whlskey."
This is putting the truth in a nutshell
But the eminent doctor goes still farther
and says:
Ordinary whiskey is either useless or
dangerous, or both, in the treatment of
grip"
''Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is of the
largest value In the treatment"
Prof. Morse draws this conclusion Who'll
ly by experiment and facts proven under
the microscope. Like all scientists, he
comes to his conclusion only after testing
and proving and does not attempt to go
farther

"Christ's Prescription for Troubled
Hearts" was the topic of the discourse
delivered by DR.. Kerfoot of the Louisville
Theological Seminary, at the First Bap-

congregation enjoyed the benefit of the
sermon.
In the pulpit with DIR. Kerfoot were Dr.
j. H. Fitzpatrick a former president or
the state convention; DIR. l. T. Tichenor
John N. Prestrige, d. D., of Louisville,
hy.; Rev. J. L. White, D. D., of Macon,
and Rev. John D. Jordan, the pastor.
The invocation was delivered by Rev DR..
Prestridge A passage of scripture was
read by DR.. White and prayer followed by
Dr. Tichenor. A solo was sung by Mrs
t. A. Silva at the offertory.
In delivering the collection plates 90 the
deacons Pastor Jordan announced that the
plates were the gift of lady member OF

The Young Rolling. Chair Speaker
Was in Demand. g5

Possibly the busiest delegate to the Bap-
tist convention yesterday was Mr. WIN
d. Upshaw, the eloquent young cripple
who has attracted so much favorable at
tention during the present session in Sa-
vannah. He was wanted at three different
churches to make. addresses to the young
people with whom he seems to have great
influence. tsu
In the morning he spoke to a large and
delighted audience at. the Duffy Street
Baptist Sunday school In the afternoon
at the Christian Endeavor Society of the
Christian Church, making thoroughly
original acrostic on the word, ''endeavor,"
and fairly eaptivated his many hearers.
At 73O he made an alliterative talk on
Happiness, Helpfulness and Hopeful
ness" 20 the Endeavorers at the First
Presbyterian Church. Many who heard this
gifted and earnest young man, declare that
he web deserved his pseudopym, Earnest
Willie" which his earnestness has given
him.
Mr.. Upshaw is a, brilliant and versatile
speaker, treating each audience yesterday
to a new and sparkling address, making
many new friends in Savannah, and iuspir-
ing all who heard him.
