Young Mems Christian Association. yester-
day afternoon, was taken from the TWEEN
ty-hrst chapter of John. fifteenth verse
where Christ asks Peter. Lowest thou me
more than these?'
DIR. Jordan said that three views of the
passage are sometimes taken; Lowest
thou me more than these disciples or
'these pursuits" or "moEe than these dis
ciples dove me-
THE question for US to face he said.
is Lowest thou me?" 1t should come to
us to-day with as much force as it came
to Peter"
DR.. Jordan said he does not have much
sympathy for those who say the thought
they loved Christ, or believed they did
we should know if we do he said. 1t
would be foolish TO ask a child II re
thought he loved his father and mother
The child knows it. We should answer
like Peter, Yea. Lord, thou knowest that l
love thee. If we love Him then we should
desire 10 be in communion with Him. We
should want TO keep his commandments
We should be willing to make saer hce Tor
Him. The address was closed with an
appeal TO young men to obey the command

WERE NOT sAVANNAHIANs.
This City Was Not Concerned in the
Hamlet Robbery

The members of the Savannah Cadets
and the German Volunteers who went
from this city to attend the Dewey ce,e-
bration in New York have noted the re-
ports of the disturbance that was raised
at Hamlet, n. c., by some of the Georgia
troops. The men who were guilty of the
gross violation OF the law and the breach
of military discipline were from Atlanta.
That is what Savannah officers say, and if
they were not Atlantians who committed
the outrage, it is quite clear that It could
not have been Savannahlans for the route
by which the troops from this place trav-
eled does not take in Hamlet
1t has been with regret that officers and
men of the Savannah companies have seen
that such conduct marred the otherwise
good record the volunteers of the state
sustained while on the New York trip
1t is a matter of congratulation that 1t
was no Savannah men who so far forgot
themselves as to be guilty of the alleged
offense of robbery committed on the goods
of poor woman who ran a store in the
small town.
The action of the Governor in the case
has been commended universally in Sa-
vannah. 1t is thought he has taken the
proper course, and the volunteers here ap-
prove of the guilty being punished, as the
offense Is one rejecting discredit upon the
military organization OF Georgia until
those committing it may be made TO suf-
fer.

GAMBLING NOT WHAT 1T WAS.
Mayors Order 10 the Fraternity
Closed Policy and Keno.

Il has been ten days now since the fiat
of the Mayor and the Superintendent Of
Police went out 10 the gamblers. and there
seems TO exist. certainly, a condition of
marked improvement Keno and policy,
the two forms Of gambling that have been
carried on in the most barefaced manner.
are apparently things Of the past. SO far
is visible TO the naked eye they no lon
ger exist, and the attention OF the frater-
nifty is being turned 10 forms of gambling
called less harmful and injurious, Ia that
they affect those better able to bear the
loss than these. The police detectives are
instructed TO keep an eye open for the re-
opening Of the old rooms or the beginning
of the new but so far they have achieved
no marked success. No arrests for gamb-
ling, except The milder form of crap shoot
ing In the streets have been made since
the order went into effect.
II is rumored though, that the stranger,
or even the citizen, who is In search OF a
quiet game and can retain his secrets and
those Of others, may easily find a place
or several where his wish may be
gratified. A few days ago an individual
is said TO have wandered into one Of these
places and dropped bout $50 across the ia
BILE into the pockets OF the propriet0rs
Subsequently he sobered up and threaten
ed those who at least. had staked their
money against his. with a report 10 the Of
ficers of the law in case they did not lie
fund. They refunded.
A few months ago. had such an ffldivid-
ual made some bets and lost some money
and then threatened the proprietors Of the
house with the disclosure of their identity
and of the place where they did bu.iness,
he would have been told TO go ahead and
tell what he knew. The gamblers would
have been perfectly Indifferent 10 his ac-
ton, one way or the other, and would have
so informed him. They might even have
submitted TO the bringing of legal action.
That II is not so now indicates that
there has been engendered healthy fear
of the law and that the gamblers are will
ing TO make good the losses OF their pa
irons, before they viii consent to run the
risk of public disclosure. Otherwise, they
would have consented to disclosure, with
the assured conviction, probably, that
whatever the public might think of them
IL would think still less of one who tried
to win without the willingness to bear his
loss. And il is altogether likely that in
thinking this they would have been right
The detectives have received Instructions
to report and bring 10 the attention of the
superintendent all volators OF the gaming
laws whom they are able to detect. 1t is
not likely that they are invited to Join
the social games that are open to those
in no official capacity, nor even asked to
be on hand while the game is in progress.
So that they do not enjoy the same ad-
vantages that come to others Supt
Screven says that his men will enforce
the law strictly and without regard 10
consequences-that they have received or
ders to do so, and that he has every con-
fdence that they will obey these to the
letter

mental Church yesterday morning. Aft
er the pronunciation of the benedict.on,
the congregation remained for a general
interchange of welcomes and good wishes.
particularly interesting programme of
services had been prepared. and the SER
mon was one of the features. Rev Ed
F. Cook, the pastor, spoke on THE
Church Victorious" his line of thought
being the church conquering and yet to
conquer. He dwelt on historic points that
indicate the influence of the gospel in the
development of civilization and showed the
fields that yet remain TO be entered and
occupied by the gospel, for which il is
entirely adequate. BY never-tring zeal
and devotion to the cause, Christians the
pastor said, may accomplish this great
mission and work the fulfillment of the
prophecy.
