Plantation Chill Cure 4Plaiu"


son in the world, for the world is full
| of beauty when the heart is full of love-
Christians ought to be cheerful.
I'm tired of Brother Grunter and Of
Sister Complaining, and 1 hate to see
Christians disgrace the Saviour that
way" Here the speaker related an ex-
perience that he had had with an ossi-
fed man, who though he had no use of
any of his limbs or body, yet was a
Christian and quite cheerful, explaining
that he realized that God had use for
some to run, some to walk, others to talk
and, once in a while, for one to lie on
his back for Christ's sake.
Again be reiterated the statement that
ii is as religious to laugh as to cry Man
can Think he said, "he can weep, and
he can laugh. II he only thinks he is not
wholly a man: he's as cold as a dog
nose if he only cries he's as sad as bread
that didn't rise; while if he only laughs
he's a fool. The complete man laughs,
weeps and thinks. Every man that has
stirred the world has made it think, and
laugh and weep. Moody did it, and Spur
geon did it, The gospel does it by touch
ing every key in the whole gamut of hui
man life and feeling.
In another part of his sermon he dis
cussed the acts of God, which often cause
human suffering, but which in the end
say, he said, that all things are good, but
that all things work together for good.
He cited cases where death or other mis-
fortune had brought repentance and con-
version to persons, and said that even in
fidels brought like Ingersoll in the pres
ence of the death of loved one could
see "a star of hope, and hear the rustic
of wings"
Gods work." he told his hearers, "is
divided into two kinds: that Of saving sin
ners, and that of helping saints. Going to
church. reading the Bible, attending Sun
day-school, and prayermeeting, is not
serving God Truly to serve God one
must do something to help another. This
he illustrated by story of one man that
hired another to do six things; he was 10
eat, drink and sleep; plough, SOW and
reap. He did the first three things but
neglected the others. Thou fool. said the
employer, Il hired you to eat, drink and
sleep that you might be able to do the
other work.
Now said MIR. Stuart, reading the
Bible is eating, secret prayer Is drinking,
and resting on the promises of God, sleep
ing; but If you do these only, how are
you serving God; what have you done
for Jesus? You are but serving yourself
Here he turned to the ministers on the
platform and told them that If they
didn't watch out they'd let a little too
much ministerial courtesy stand IN their
way. He advised them to go down among
the congregation and help by their SYM
pathy and advice those that might be won
to God. Help those you cen," he told
the congregation, "and God VIII help
you"

Increase ....... ..................$ q, 576 SO
The grand jury gave the Board of Ed
ucation the exact amount for which it's
estimate called. There was at first some
diversity of opinion on the subject in the
grand jury room, but it is understood
that after full discussion of the matter
and lengthy consideration, the grand jury
was practically unanimous in favor OF
giving the full appropriation.
Several considerations conduced to this
unanimity of opinion among the grand
jurymen. 1t was explained to them that
the necessity for the comparatively large
appropria ton sprang from the destruction
of the old Chatham Academy and the
erection of the new building. This build
ing is to cost about S80,000, exclusive of the
value of the lot on which 1t will stand,
and of this sum the Board of Education,
by the terms of it's contract with the trus-
tees, are to pay half.
This arrangement will give the Board of
Education a twenty-four-room school
building for $4,000 Thirty-eighth Street
School, which has twelve rooms cost
the board something more than $4,000.
For this reason the grand jury agreed
with the Board of Education that in the
new building it was getting a bargain.
They thought that it would be better to
give the board the $4,000, made up Of
5000 deficit from last year and the pay
ment of $4,000 to be made this year on
the Chatham Academy, than to force the
board to borrow such a sum, which the
taxpayers would pay eventually and upon
which, until the principal was paid, the
taxpayers would pay interest. The APP
preparation needed for che actual conduct
OF the schools is but little more than
$4,000:
The grand jury felt it could increase
the appropriation for education without
much fear of increasing taxation. Tax
values in Chatham county have steadily
increased during the past five years,
While the increase in the state and coun-
" tax rate has been only about forty
cents per thousand dollars. There was a
decrease in the tax rate for 1900 from
mat of 1899. The grand jury did not be-
deVe there would be any considerable in
crease this year. if s14,O739s were added
to the appropriation for education. So
1t was added.
One member of the grand jury, in a
1acetious vein, suggested that two-cent
postage stamp be added to the apropria-
ton, so as to bring it up to round fig
ure. His colleagues frowned down the
suggestion.

Listen! When he say beware, mark!

Mr. Stuart then told of a young man
that had taken his first drink in the home
of his future wife and at her special re-
quest, and that this had been the cause
of his afterward becoming a confirmed
drunkard. Don't be a DEVILS decoy,"
he warned; stand on the one side or
the other. The trouble with old Savannah
to-day is that she needs straight line
between the church and the devil so that
the people can get on the one side or the
other and fight it out.
Another Illustration that the speaker
used to enforce his arguments against
drink and gambling was that or hshlng
for sea gulls. He described the operation
as he had once witnessed it, and then
said: IL never before that time knew
where Webster got the word 'gulled' from.
1t means you think you're going to get
something, and the something gets YOU"
The devil never gives you anything that
isn't a gull rope. / remember case OF
a Savannah man that some of you may
know, Reese Fowler, a piasterer He
nlaved cards one night and won $50. When
he went home he put the money on the
table-'a nights SPORT he said, and I've

gamblers are outlaws, both of God and
man: and gamblers are thieves at heart.

In another anecdote told of a friend in
Tennessee. Mr.. Stuart told how by hard
work and strict Christian honesty ne had
acquired a business and home, and, ne
said, there wasn't dirty dollar IN IT,
In concluding the story he said, address
ing the audience, you can build out OF
corruption. YOU can build with your liquor
money. or you can build with
YOUR gambling. money but you can
neyr be happy in a place so built.
The evangelist talked of prohibition
and said that though 1t had long been de-
layed and might not come yet for time
he felt that it would come, and believed
the happy time would be at hand when
Christians voted as they prayed. This
statement was greeted by hearty cheers
In concluding his sermon Mr.. Stuart told
OF the conversion from the drink habit
~ two men, relatives Of his. of which he
gave a graphic and pathetic account.
Many OF his hearers had been visioly
affected during the sermon, and when the
invitation was made for penitents to come
forward there was an exceptionally large
number that responded, some of the men
not only asking for prayers, but also
promising. voluntarily, that they would
never again drink. After the service was
concluded Mr.. Stuart expressed himself
as well pleased, saying that it had been

John L. Sabin, who is slated for the
presidency of the new company, is the
one man responsible for the popular
izing of the telephone in California
AS president of the San Francisco
company he has built up the business
of that concern until it has $4,000

Chicago. with six times the population
of the California city, has but 20, OOO

The secret of the universal use OF
the telephone in California has been
the reduction of the prices of service.

of a public phone. b charge of
cents has been exacted- There has
been corresponding reduction in the

The Minnesota legislature spoiled
the record of a good session on the
last day, when it voted 81, OH in graf
itude to Legislative employees, the
senate SHINING by $500 worth, the
balance going to the discredit of the
house. This was done, too, regard
less of the fact that upon the organi-
z2tion both houses entered into an
agreement with the committee on
rules that employees should perform
the services of their several positions
without increase of compensation and
without gratuity at the close of the
session. No senator paraded this
agreement when the subsidies were
voted, and only 10 mem bers of the
house stood by the agreement.
