WANTS LAWS ENFORCED.
Rev. j. A. Smith Touched Upon the
Gambling situation.

The good of the city was commended to
its citizens by Rev. ]. A. Smith, pastor of
the Seventh Street Methodist Church, IN
his sermon last night. He touched upon
the prevalence of gambling in Savannah,
and said that no one man or set of men
should be considered in the fight to sup
press it, The text was drawn from Acts
IL: 16: Now while Paul waited for them
at Athens, his spirit was stirred within
him. when he saw the city wholly given to
idolatry."
'Three things" the pastor said, STIRRED
the righteous soul Of Paul as he walked
through the streets of ancient Athens:
first, the city wholly given over to idola-
try; second, the boldness of the men en-
gagged in idol selling; third. the apparent
unconcern of the inhabitants touching the
great evil in their midst.
First, let us notice the things needful
to stimulate vigorous, determined ag-
gressiveness against an existing evil. A
realization of their existence is of the high
est import. A deep sense of their ins' d.
ious influence and the conviction that lit
lie Is being done to remove the cause. The
glaring existence of an evil in any city
or community is chargeable to failure
to rigidily enforce the law All law
against crime is useless and dead If it is
not executed vigorously without fear CT
favor The moral status of every place
more or less) is largely determined by
the stringency or laxity of its laws Let
the law Breaker know that If he violates
the law he win be punished, and let the
punishment be of such vigorous charac-
ter that he will dread apprehension, and
1t will have a salutary effect.
Lord John Russell said That coli
lision is as necessary to produce virtue
in men as Il is to elicit fire in mani
mate matter Mr.. Gladstone said: Every
Individual that does not produce some
thing beneficial to himself and society
is a curse and great hindrance.'
is there anything" Mr.. Smith asked,
"existing in Savannah calculated to stir
her citiZenry to sense of their duty as
citizens and their moral obligation to
God and their fellows? The charge has
been made, and proof furnished, that
gambling hells are running az full blast
all over the city. Several of them be-
ing on one of the most prominent streets,
and that in open defiance to the law.
Why their existence? Why the boldness
of the men who run these places? Some
one is in faulti At whose door does this
responsibility lie? 1t is high time for all
law-abiding citizens, men who love the
name of Savannah and appreciate and
value the conduct and moral worth of
her rising generation, to arise, and in
their might and power strike down this
great evil
ITO realize this blessed result men must
break away from party lines and party
influence. and know no man, or set of
men. after the flesh. They must seek
for that channel most likely 10 produce
a healthy moral atmosphere"

SUNDAY SCHOOL OF TRINITY.
Celebrated Its seventy-Eighth Ami
yersary Last Night.

The seventy-eighth anniversary of The
Sunday School of Trinity Church was &c e.
brated last night. From the way the
church was crowded it was quite apparent
that there are a great many interested in
the school and in Its work. Friends and
relatives of the children were present, and
all greatly enjoyed the exercises.
To the strains of Marching 10 Canaan"
as professional, the school entered the
church and made its way TO the pews re-
served. Then the banners borne by the
classes were taken to the chancel and ar
ranged in an attractive display, the large
banner held by Miss Fannie DorsetGs
class. which was awarded for the best req
ord in contributions for the year, being
conspicuous.
A scripture lesson, the creed, a prayer
and exercises by the primary department
followed. Loves Lesson" was a recita-
ton delivered by Master Montague
Baughn, after which little Miss Anita
Morgan, a mere tot, was stood upon la
BILE, from which vantage ground she en-
tertained the congregation with a clearly
enunciated recitation. Miss Sabra Full
ford recited 1.-The Infidel's Daughter" and
Wait a Minute" was recited by Master
Rogers Wilson.

part in flower exercise, and then Mr.. ].
A. Yarnedoe, superintendent submitted
his report, which, in part was as follows:
Our records for the past year show
the following membership: 9 officers, %
teachers, 26S scholars, a total member
ship of just 300, with total average at
tendance of 207 The school has raised
for all purposes, including its current ex-
penses, missions and various other OBJ
jects, $224.2S. With the beginning of che
present year the entire offering of each
first Sabbath is given to missions, thus
tending to interest our little ones and
make them missionary helpers in the
years 90 come.
THE primary department, Mrs. H. 70.
Whson, superintendent, deserves special
mention in this years report. They are
giving the larger classes a close race for
the banner, and the four classes now in
this department are all doing effective
work.
THE superintendent congratulates the
church and himself on our good fortune,
when he considers the kind of men and
women engaged in the work of our
school. We have some of the best teach
ers in Georgia; most of the officers are
diligent and capable, and our pastor has
been our friend and helper at all times.
After the reading of the report, short
talk was delivered by the pastor, Rev.
Bascom Anthony, who also invited all to
go to the Sunday school picnic to be held
on May is at Tybee. The benediction
was then pronounced by the pastor.

TO PUBLISH OLD PAPERS.
Daughters of REVOLUTION Wish to
Preserve Old Documents.

The May meeting of the Georgia Histor-
zeal Society will be held at Hodgson Hall
tonight. Besides the monthly routine of
business there will be matters of special
Importance and interest for the considera-
ton and action of the members of the So
ciety.
1t is understood that the Daughters of
the Revolution will request Of the society
permission to publish certain papers the
society now has in its possession, relating
to the early history of the colony and
state of Georgia. The desire and intention
of the Daughters of the Revolution are to
preserve the valuable historical facts con-
tanned and recorded in these papers and
to prevent their loss or destruction by the
process of dissolution. These papers have
lain for years on the shelves of the library
and have been gradually decaying. Their
publication is essential TO prevent their de-
struction and the loss of historical data
which they alone contain.

TO INVITE THE CONVENTION.
Southern Baptists May Meet I'm sa-
vannah Next Year.

Rev. John d. Jordan left last night for
Hot Springs, Ark, where he will attend
the annual meeting of the Southern Bap-
fist Convention. An invitation to the con-
vention to hold it's next annual meeting
at Savannah has already been extended
by the Savannah Baptist Church, of
which DR.. Jordan is pastor. DR.. Jordan
will urge the acceptance of this invita-
ton upon the convention.
Other cities have extended invitations,
however, and the outcome is doubtful The
fact, however, that Hon. William j.
Northen, of Georgia, is president of the
Convention, and that DR.. ]. Lansing Bur
roughs, formerly pastor of the First Bap-
fist Church of Augusta, but now pastor
of the First Baptist Church of Nashville,
Tenn, Is secretary of the convention, and
that both favor she invitation of the Sa-
vannah Baptist Church, means a great
deal in Savannahs favor.
The Southern Baptist Convention is one
of the largest deliberative bodies which
meets in the United States and includes a
number of distinguished men. There were
1900 delegates in attendance at the con-
vention at Louisville last year. At tine re-
cent conference of the Savannah Baptist
Church, at which this matter was con-
sldered, there was some question as to
the advisabiliy of inviting the convention.
the point being raised that Savannah was
without an auditorium and that there
was no building in the city large enough
to accommodate body of this character
together with the large number of visitors
which usually attend such gatherings. The
records of the church showed, however,
that 1t had entertained the convention
twice before in its history, and it was de-
cided to attempt IL another time.
