THE PRODIGAL son.
The Subject of Rev. T. j. Shipman's
Sermon at the SOuthside.

large congregation heard the SER
mon by Rev. T. J. Shipman at the
Southside Baptist Church last night.
The preachers text was Luke, 15:2.
This man receiveth succor and eat
eth with them" In his Introductory
remarks the speaker said: THE Phar-
isees and Scribes murmered and said
if he was a man that could eat and
drink with sinners he could not be
the Christ-that such a man should be
put down.
They rallied and scoffed at him, but
he cared not for their accusations.
They said this man receives sinners,
but he, as a true shepherd, thought
only of their lost condition. You
charge me with receiving sinners, l
receive them because l love them,
Jesus says: value them, this is why
l yearn for them
God puts his estimate upon the per-
sen: Mans personality-his individu-
ality means something to Him.
l seek the lost, was Christ's plea,
You scribes and pharisees charge me
with receiving sinners and eating with
them. Yesl yes! In the first instance
it was the purposes of my coming to
seek the lost
Dr. Shipman here used three para
bles to illustrate his point. First, the
parable of the lost sheep represents
the miserable condition of the lost
soul. The parable of the lost money
represents the value of the soul The
parable of the prodigal son represents
the homelessness and alienation of the
lost.
: In the first and second parable there
was no sin. In the third there was.
The evil spirit causes an aliena-
ton of heart. The prodigal leaves
home and INDUCES in worldlness. He
revels in wickedness until his money is
gone, and friends forsake him. Finally
he comes to himself and resolves to re-
turn home"
Earthly happiness is nothing but
husk. Is it not strange that men can't
understand that the world is unsatis-
tying. We were put into the world to
give glory to God. Let the world know
that we are living for God, that we
know him.
The prodigal was driven to God
Is 1t not strange that men have to be
driven to God. On returning he finds
a cordial welcome from the father and
is received into the home again.
L tell you, my friends, it is this
great love that brings us back to God:
that causes men to repent; that draws
them to the Savior. Humbly confess
ing, he arose and returned. In my inn
agination, l can see him as he resolves
to go back and open his heart to God.
i will arise and go to my Father. He
can satisfy my longing
oh, sinners, turn away from your
sins tonight Look to Jesus and live;
for the soul that turns from it's sins
and lives for God there is hope; there
is life for such a living You say that
Jesus received sinners. Yes Yes! viii
you see it tonight, my friends? Will
you let Him receive you?"

BUSINESS CONDITIONS GOOD.
Dun & Co. Take an Optimistic View
of the situation.


New York, Oct. 11.-R. G. Dun &
Cos Weekly Review of Trade to-mor-
row will say:
Failure of a few over capitalized in
dustrial corporations to pay interest
on their stock is no criterion of con-
ditions in manufacturing, although an
influence of some weight in the stock
market. Reports from all sections of
the country agree that there has sell
dom, if ever, been such vigorous pros
ecution of constructive work Widely
divergent lines exhibit similar symp
toms. Labor is well employed at good
wages and the buying power of the
people is more than sufficient to meet
the advance in the cost of living of
as per cent. over the prices prevailing
a year ago.
Quiet conditions prevail in the dry
goods market, not because of light de-
mand. but through the strong views of
sellers, which prevent export sales as
well as domestic business. At Fall
River the print cloth situation is most
satisfactory, standard goods for deliv-
cry up to February are held at cents,
and the labor situation is much clearer
than ii was a week ago.
Slightly better relative prices have
been established by the leading ce-
reals, wheat making a fair gain, while
corn lost a little of it's exceptional
strength.
Failures for the week numbered 2S1
in the United States, against 223 last
year. and "a in Canada, against 80 last
year.

TO THE GANG FOR A YEAR.
Elliott Graham Guilty of Stabbing,
Not in His own Defense.

Elliott Graham Guilty of Stabbing,
Not in His own Defense.
Elliott Graham, colored, was tried in
the Superior Court yesterday for as
sault with intent to murder, and was
found guilty by the jury of stabbing
not in his own defense and was SEN
fenced by Judge Seabrook to pay a
fine of 500 and costs or to serve
twelve months at hard labor on the
changing of the county.
According to the evidence of the
states witnesses, Graham became in
volved in a row with James Hall, at
a negro "sociable." and in the personal
encounter that followed carved him
with a dirk, in approved and deadly
fashion. Hall did not die, but he es-
capped death, according to his conten-
ton, by a narrow margin.
Graham denied the cutting in toto,
although he admitted that he had been
engaged. in a row with Hall. He said
that he had not used the knife, and
that if Hall had been cut at all it
was in row he had with another ne
gro later during the night.
The evidence of the states witnesses
seemed to weigh with the jury more
than the evidence of those who testi-
fed in behalf of Graham and the
statement of the defendant. The YER
dict of the jury, however reduced the
grade of the offense from assault with
intent to murder to stabbing not in his
own defense, and the sentence was to
Imprisonment on the changing of the
county. instead of in the penitentiary
of the state.
