he said after reading the passages from
St. Luke Then the direct question

gregation, four probable answers were
given, and then waited away In the

ment.

Christianity 2" Mr.. Christian asked.
DO you stay out Of the church because
Of the mystery of the Trinity and of
regeneration? DO you deal with every
mystery like that? There are psyche
logic mysteries within and without.
Would you say that your child cam
not touch bread because of the mys-
terious manner in which the grain of
wheat that is placed in the earth to
die comes forth and brings you food?
Some OF you say that preachers are

things. ! tell you that l am talking
from a heart that has felt every Sc

you there may be some noble and good
men and women out of the church,
but the best in the world are in the
church. 1t is bad heart, and not in
tellience, that doubts"
Mr.. Christian told of a 19-year-old
boy. with the fuzz just on his upper
lip, who had declared that he would
not join the church because he had
read too much. us 1t because YOU
are trusting in your morality" Mr..
Christian asked. Every person claim

the ten commandments in letter and

made his brief comment on Sabbath
breaking and frolicking in Savannah.
He said that procrastination is large

are not members of the church, and
declared that 1t will be too late to

of the church to enter the fold before

That great preacher was right. A

the "abstrac tions of eternity" and
never utters warning as TO the rocks

community, the commonwealth, of pub

question of enforcing the laws of our
state against vice Is one of those
clear questions of right and wrong
which should be discussed by the pull

keep silence on this question and 9TH

will be led to conclude that things
morally wrong may be politically right
and justifiable; a conclusion which Is

the efforts of those who are calling
aloud for the suppression of vice. The
facts, as reported through the columns
of the News from time to time by
faithful reporters, whose general ac-
curacy has never been questioned, are
such as to show that gambling and
immortality are winked at here by the
authorities. The policy of assessing
fines invariably-and that. as rule,
only about once a year-is license on
the face Of 1t. If the whole machinery

SAVANNAH'S STEAMSHIP
BUSINESS
Over Half Milton Tons Shipped Ceastwise and Over
100000 Tons Received Last Year.

Total SOS,1o1 tons
The above represents the volume of
the coastwise steamship business of
1907. In previous years no reliable
records of these freight tonnages have
been obtainable. Some estimates have
been made, but they were unreliable
United States government took an in
interest in the ma tier. Officials at
Washington wrote to Mayor Myers,
who finding that accurate data was
range with the steamship officials for
regular official reports. This was
done and the government now has
monthly statements of this character
or's secretary, who has the reports in
hand for the year for publication with
the regular annual reports, obtained
advance copies of the tonnage for No
vember, December and the entire
year, which will not be published by
the government for some time yet.
Mr.. Austin, the chief of the Bureau of
Statistics of the Treasury Department,
which has these compilations in hand,
is anxious to make the reports as val
liable as possible, and the scope of the
figures may hereafter be extended. The
reports in full for 1902 are as follows:

The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1903-03-23

On a rough calculation the foreign
exports and imports of Savannah for
the year were not less than 600, 600 tons,
err shipments of lumber, aggregating
many millions of feet so 1t Is easily
within the range of probabilities to
place the entire volume of freight pass
ing through the port of Savannah for
the year 1902 at not less than 1900 900
tons, or 5000. 100000 pounds.
Very frequently requests have been
received at the Mayors office for
statement of the freight tonnage of the
port. but it has heretofore been i'm
possible to give the information want
ed. 1t is hoped the Bureau of Statistics
will now undertake the compilation of
the foreign freights in tons, and also
take the schooner coastwise business
into consideration. This bureau viii
hereafter be operated under the Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor, and the
scope of it's usefulness will probab
be greatly broadened.
Secretary Gamble for the last two
years has compiled the shipments from
Savannah for the Mayors report. This
year he has found part of his work
made almost useless by the change in
the system of reporting adopted by
the steamship companies. Instead of
reporting the class of goods and the
quantity. as in former years, vast
quantities of freight are now grouped
under the general head of "Merchan-
disc" a steamship report sometimes
showing 10000 or more packages of

AN IRRIGATION MISSIONARY
Southern California Working Hard for
 the Tonto Reservoir.

George H Maxwell returned yester- day morning from two weeks visit in Los Angeles where he has been conferring and working with the Los Angeles and Southern California people interested in the irrigation of the southwest Everything big in this world has to be accomplished through organization and the California people are striving to attain the desired end through the influence of the National lrriga ton association knowing that if that organization prospers. irrigation enterprises will prosper.
 Southern California. says MT. Max we'll is thoroughly alive to the situa ton. It realizes that there is more to be hoped for through the building of the Tonto reservoir than in any other direction. It wants other reservoirs in southern California and along the Colo rado and it knows the practicability of the enterprise can be better and more quickly demonstrated here than any where else. California people are work ing for results They know Arizona's prosperity is their prosperity indirect ly and they also know that they can gain time in the whole irrigation move ment by helping along the enterprise now started. The battle cry in Los An geles therefore is The Tonto reservoir first and all others in Arizona and southern California as soon as possi hle"
 To further the work of the irrigation association in the forming of irriga- ton sentiment in the east the Los An geles people have decided to send c. B. BoCthe to New York City where he will open offices and devote all his time for the next year to the education of east ern manufacturers. capitalist business men, legislators, etc, on the ;,---ct of irrigation. that the movement instead of becoming weaker at any point may constantly grow in power and influence. And the decision to do this was fol- lowed up in a practical way. The mer- chants and business men of the city went down into their pockets and dug up $6,o0O for an expense fund tO be placed at the disposal of MT. Boothe.

The defeat of the brotherhood carpenters in their efforts to absorb or crush the Amaigamated union means a settlement of the car penters' war.
 Before the delegates from the brother hood of carpenters are admitted the men now on strike must be ordered to work next week.

The Dyspeptic Must Help Cure Himself.
