CANNOT BLAME WORLD
FOR REFUSING CHRIST
If 1t Judges Christianity by Some
Church Members.

If II Judges Christianity by Some
Church Members.
In a sermon at Epworth Methodist
Church last night Rev. G. E. Fields
took the position that if Christianity
is to be judged by some of the profess
ing Christians and church members,
that no one can blame the world for
refusing to accept Christ as its Savior.
The minister took his text from Isaiah
xiii: 10: Eye are my witnesses" and
among other things said:
THE Christians and the processing
church members are the ones who
must bear witness in their lives and
characters to the saving power of
Christ. Christ, himself, has stated this
fact in the text of the evening. With
such a great power of which to bear
witness the responsibility on each
member of the church is great, and
the fact that the world judges Chris
tianity by its fruits should not be for
gotten.
when I think of some protesting
Christians and church members and
their modes OF living; when l remem-
her the characters and lives of many
who claim they have been redeemed,
l do not blame the world for rejecting
Christianity by the results in human
| lives and hearts. and when they see
church members of the class 1 have
referred to, they doubt His power and
| then reject Him.
What the world needs to-day is men
and women who know the saving pow
er of Christ: who know the blessed
ness of sins forgiven; who know they
have been redeemed from sin, and VINO
show Il in their hearts, their charac-
ters, and their lives. We need conse-
Grated Christian men and women. ana
without them Christ's kingdom here
| on earth will spread but slowly.
There was a large congregation IN
attendance and Mr.. Fields had no diff
ficulty in holding the attention of his
| listeners. Services will be continued
at Epworth Church during the week,
with preaching at 4:30 o'clock in the
afternoon, and at $3.50 o'clock at night.

DIGNIFIED LETTER SAYS
CONGRESSMAN LESTER.
savannahians Think Judge Parker
Wrote Splendid Document.


Wrote Splendid Document.
1T is a very dignified letter and
shows that it comes from patriotic
and conservative man.
This was the comment made by Con-
gresham Rufus Z. Lester on Judge
Alton B. Parker's letter of acceptance.
1T leaves no room for doubt as to his
position on any question he discusses"
he said. "If the country does not go
with him it will be worse for the coun-
try"
Judge Parker's letter, printed in full
in the Morning News, was read with
a great deal of interest in Savannah,
and the general opinion expressed was
that it is strong document. There
were no questions or issues lodged.
and the letter is regarded here as one
that will materially assist the Demo-
cratic party in it's campaign against
Roosevelt and Republicanism.
1T is the best letter Judge Par
ker has yet produced" was the way
Solicitor General w. w. Osborne sum-
med it up.
1T is undoubtedly a strong docu-
ment, and will do much good" was
the comment of Mayor Herman Myers.

New Course Added.

Increased Attendance This Year and
New Course Added.
With appropriate ceremonies the
Benedictine College at Thirty-second
and Habersham streets opened for the
new year yesterday morning. There
was a large increase in the number
of pupils and twelve or fourteen addi-
lions will be made to-day, the appli-
cants for seats having not yet returned
to the city.
The Cadets were addressed by Rev.
Father Bernard on the work that has
been laid out for the coming year and
on the opportunities which are offered
to all the students. The different de-
partments were outlined, and the work
that is expected was dwelt upon at
length. Short addresses were also
made by the other instructors, Rev.
Fathers Aloysius, Jerome and An
thony.
Col. Jordan F. Brooks, who has
charge of the military work again this
year, spoke to the Cadets on that feat
ure. The drill work and discipline of
the Cadets has done much to attract
attention to the college, and it's good
effect on the boys themselves is clear
ly to be seen. This work is required
of all students at the college.
A new course, the second collegiate,
has been added to the curriculum. Rev
Father Anthony will have charge of
the academic work; Rev. Father Je-
rome of the first collegiate students
and Rev. Fathers Aloysius and Ber-
nerd will conduct the work of the new
year.
Plans for the new college building
are expected shortly. AS soon as they
are received bids will be asked for,
and these will be submitted to the
chapter of st. Mary's College, Bel
mont, N. c., for action, Contracts will
be awarded there and the work on the
building will begin shortly thereafter.

DEMoRALIzED TURKS.

It Is said that the Turkish sol
diery is becoming demoralized to
the point where displays of COW
ardice are ccrlmon. Some extraor-
binary instances Of this are re-
lated by recent traveller there. who
declares that tie Turkish troops
have displayed their lack OF nerve
many times in recent er2ouns>T;
with insurgents. Nlel actual fight
ing is to be done many OF the sol
,diers seek seclusion in the adjacent
fields or escape the observation OF
their commanders b. ge,tlng into
streams or ponds and iGlmer:inS
themselves in water rp to the neck.
1t was near Uskub that a resort TO
this method of avoiding trouble was
actually observed. An engineer corps
had been summoned haS.i.r to TIE
nearest bridge over tie Eardar,
where bombs had just been thrown,
and found the guard especially plac-
ed there to protect the bridge con-
spicuously absent. 1t took the of
fcers a considerable time to find
what had become of their missing
men.
