CHRIST. GREATEST TEACHER.
RV RaV n nar0a.,

The names OF Washington and Jeffer-
son, Webster and Clay. Grant and Lin
coin. Garfield, Harrison and Mckinley
recall our national history OF the past.
But religions history presents a great
galaxy Of notable men and women, each
beautiful in the lusler Of his own per
sonalty.
But above them all stands one figure
which commands our undivided atten-
ton. however we may view Him. He
stands in a class Of religious teachers
whose names can be counted on the I'm
gers of one hand. They are Confucius
Mohammed. Brahma. Buddha and Christ.
But Christ stands pre-emiucnt among
them all. In His character, the purpose
Of His life, His teachings and in the
virtue ana piety Of His followers. CHRIST
is the most conspicuous personality the
worlds history affords.
First Christ is the all ANA in nj in The
plans Of human redemption Redemption
had its origin in the love Of God, and
Christ is the highest expression Of that
love to man. The plan Of redemption
recognizes mans need, and is the method
by which God seeks to restore him TO his
lost estate. In carrying ont this plan
it became necessary that one should be-
come a sacrifice for the race. Christ
became the Savior OF man. He came to
reveal God to man and then to save him.
He Is the one supreme ohjcct of thc
believers faith and hope and love and
worship. Christ is all this because lie i.
our Savior. Moreover. he is our model

merely mcrcenary. The materiaiistic
factor. which largely and necessarily
makes up his business career, will be
subordinated to the highest ideals of the
social, intellectual and spiritual life.
He will not heap up dollars merely for
the sake OF heaping dollars. For the
man who makes money just to make
money and to be richer than some other
millionaire is playing what John Ruskin
calls "a game of money" as surely as the
boy IS playing Il game Of marhles-for
what is the difference?
One is trying to beat ut the game of
marbles and the other is trying to beat
at the game of dollars. The heap of dol
lars is Of no more use to the man than
the heap Of marbles is of use to the boy.
A true citizen viii recognize the uses
and value of wealth, but will not idcnti-

clares. America should have some bet

than Il superior facility for money max
ing.
Why, II we are unfaithful to our higher
mission as nation, though our popula-
tion were TO double in a year and the
roar and rush OF our vast machinery were
to silence the music of the spheres. and
our wealth We're enough TO buy all the
world, our population could not bully
history, nor all our riches bride the Eter-
nal nor prevent the fiery finger of retr-
butive justice writing upon us: "Ichabod,

MIR. BRASTLET SET RIGHT.
Not Seeking nm Appropriation to
Divert the AItamaha.

wv ShG nn appropriation to
Divert the AItamaha.
Washington. Feb. 7.-Congressman
Brantley says that he is not seeking
an appropriation to have the Altamaha
river turned so it will have its outlet
through Brunswick, instead of Darien,
as has been reported. He is only ask
ing an appropriation of $4,000 to con-
meet Club and Plantation creeks. so
that the river boats on the Altamaha
can get to Brunswick if they desire
to do so. They cannot now get to
Brunswick without going through St.
Simons sound, which is dangerous for
them to attempt.
Some of these boats, at least, desire
to go to Brunswick in order to con-
meet with the New York steamers that
ply between Brunswick and New York.
They cannot get such a connection at
Darien, as no line of New York steam
ers touch there.
Such connection would give the peo-
pie of Macon, of Dublin. Of HAWKINS
Vile of Abbeville and other places in
the interior an all-water route to New
York, and would thus give them water
competition in freight rates to New
York.
named is pronounced entirely feasible
by the army engineers, and the propo-
sition to connect them originated with
the people in the interior, and not in
Brunswick. If Congress will give the
boats coming down the Oconee, Ocmul-
gee and Altamaha rivers safe passage
to Brunswick the result would be not
to divert anything from Darien, but
to put a business on these rivers that
does not now go to either Darien or
to Brunswick. 1t would also give
Darien the benefit of the Mallory Line
of New York steamers and the Clyde
Line of Boston steamers at Bruns-
wick. which would be quite an ad-
vantage TO her giving her a competi-
tion in freight rates that she does not
now have, and, in addition, the in
creased business that would come down
the rivers would undoubtedly go in
part to Darien and there would be no
reason why she should not hold all that
she now has.
Il have no desire to injure the port
of Darien, and il the people there are
opposed TO the bill introduced by me,
they have not notified me of the fact"
said Mr.. Brantley, in speaking Of the
matter.
