WHAT are the obligations? Tw'

W7HAT are the obligations! Two
w facts present themselves in con-
nection with the thought of the Chris
tan as a child of light: First, that he is
to be seen, and, second, that he is to give
light These two obligations appear
more and more important as we study
the Bible references to this two-fold re-
sponsibility of the Christian. He who
was the Light of the woTld declared that
His disciples were also the light of the
world. They were to shine out in the
worlds darkness. They were not to be
hid under a bushel, but to stand forth
in the conspicuous place to be 'seen
and read of all men," The world sees
or does not see the true Light just so
far as we shine for Jesus or do not shine
for Him. The children of light are the
living opponents of the true Light. AS
you have sat in the darkened room and
watched the image in the lantern slide
thrown upon the canvas, how sharply
and distinctly it stood out from the
ipky blackness all about. 1t was the
only thing visible. Even the friend at
your side was not distingufshable, but
with the picture on the canvas how diff
ferent! And amidst the darkness of
the worlds sin the Christian is obligated
to shine out as a bright and shining
light, declaring the Christ by every act
and every word. He is TO be seen and
he is to give that light which will light
every man to the source of all light, the
Christ. What a responsibility! What
if the CLEAN from the lighthouse fails
to shine forth! The storm-tossed ship
out in the blackness of the night has no
beacon light to steer by and plunges on
the rocks and is lost with its precious
human lives! What, if you, as a child
of the light are not letting your light
shine out into the darkness of the
worlds sin and human souls are lost?

White stone Lithia water.

Savannah, Ga, Jan. 16, 19O4-Mr. j.
T. Harris, White Stone Springs, S. c.
My Dear Sir: Long ago 1 learned from
distinguished and experienced ply
stefan that it was a good thing, both
wise and prudent, to flush the kid
neys. More recently l have had occa-
sion to use natural mineral waters eff
fective as a diuretic and uric acid SOL
vent. And as a palliative for chronic
cistitis; l have experimental with
Buffalo, 'Bowden,' 'Artesian,' and
'Waukesha,' Lithia Waters, and have
more constantly used White Stone
Lithia' water. My decided preference
is for White Stone Lithia, especial
~ for the still or uncarbonated water.
II have found it the most palatable,
while apparently tasteless, it is so
light and pleasant to the taste that the
desire TO drink it grows with it's use.
One can drink copiously without dis
tension, and it thus serves as an in
comparable 'flusher' and solvent.
II am also satisfied that it is an ex-
cellent 'stomachic,' good to aid diges-
ton, and proper assimilation of food.
Carbonated, it is a delightful table
water, vieing with the most celebrated
and destined to compete with any of
these waters on the market. l wish
l had a summer home close to the
spring. Very truly yours, ]. r.
SauSSy,"-ad.

ON BURGLARY CHARGE
SMALL BOY IS HELD.
YOungster Turned Over to Police by
His Adopted Father.

YOungster Turned over to Police by
His Adopted Father.
Following alleged thefts extending
over period of more than a year, and
amounting to $500 or $1,000, Willie
Burch, a 12-year- old white boy, was
turned over to the police yesterday
morning by William Herman, his
adopted father, on charge of bur-
glary.
1t is charged that week ago the boy
stole watch belonging to Herman's
slster-in-law. Herman reported to the
police that he had tried in vain to
make the boy lead an honest life and
that his various thefts would run
over $1,000. He said that the boy had
been whipped and threatened, but with
out result, and that he had determined
TO have the authorities take the matter
in hand.
Some weeks ago the boy was con-
fined in the police station for more
than week, at the request of Mrs.
Herman, who charged that he had
again been guilty of stealing. The po-
lice say that he is a fit subject for a
reformatory. The boy himself declares
that he is innocent of the last charge
put against him, although he does not
deny that he has stolen from his adopt
ed parents.
Herman claims that upon one occa-
sion the youngster cut pane of glass
from a window and entered the house
by crawling through the opening. He
is an unusually small boy for his age.
The burglary case will be called by
Recorder Myrick in Police Court this
morning.

M0LLIE MELTON STILL
A FEDERAL PRISONER.

President Signed a Pardon, but Of
fetal Notification Not Yet Received.
Although President Roosevelt has
signed a pardon for Mollie Melton,
negro woman who pleaded guilty in
the United States court here to OBJ
tanning a pension by fraud, the wom-
an is still a prisoner in the county
Jail.
1t was stated in the Morning News
yesterday that the President had
signed the womans pardon, but no
official notification has yet been re-
ceiVed by the Jail authorities. 1t is
expected that the necessary document
will put in an appearance within the
next day or two, and that Mollie will
then be given her liberty. 1t was re-
Gently decided that the banks would
have to lose the money collected
fraudulently by the woman, and the
United States government has not lost
anything financially by her transac-
ton.
Judge Speer sentenced the woman to
a term of Imprisonment of a year and
a day, and in sentencing her said that
he did not believe that she really was
conscious of the gravity of the offense
which she was committing against the
mendation of Judge Speer and the dis
trict attorney that the President sign
ed the pardon.
By claiming to be the widow of her
own brother Mollie Melton succeeded
in defrauding the government out of
several hHndred dollars, and had not
the fraud been detected when it was
she would have received over $4,000
from the government.

fourth United States Volunteer In

returned to his home on Whitmarsh
Island, near Savannah. He was dis
abled during the two years that he
served, and died soon after returning
to his home. Clarissa Owens, wife
of the soldier, died in 1879.
When the law of 1890 went into eff
feet and every widow of a Union SOL
der became, Hereunder, entitled to
pension, the sister of Isaiah Owens
Mollie Melton, formerly Mollie Fraser,
applied for a pension. Her claim was
proven and allowed and she received
5000; later she received 5000 more. At
almost the same time that she filed
her application under the law of 1890
she filed an application under the old
law, in which she claimed an allow
ance of $12 month from the date of
the death of her husband Tin reality
her brother) The amount which
would be due simply as first pay
ment on this claim would be 81, 900
P. w. Bradford was arrested at the
same time as an accomplice, he hav-
ing sworn all the time that the APP
plicant was Clarissa Owens. When
she was arraigned before Judge Speer
the woman acknowledged that she had
received the pension money, and did
not really appear to know that she
had committed a crime. Judge Speer
inflicted the minimum penalty of one
year and a days imprisonment

PARABLE OF THE SUPPER
SUBJECT AT ST. JOHNS.
Rev. Chas. H. Strong Delivered An
other of Series of Sermons.

other of Series of Sermons.
Rev. Charles H. Strong delivered an
other of his series of sermons on the
parallels of Christ, at st. Johns
Church last night His subject was
THE Parable of the Great Supper, or
Modern Reasons for the Rejection of
the Gospel" The text was drawn from
st. Luke xiv, 10: II pray thee have me
excused"
That is a very bad prayer" said
the speaker; "if you come to realize
what it means it is the worse prayer
that ever fell from human lips" Sup
pose" said Mr.. Strong, that the story
of life on the earth should be told an
inhabitant of, say the planet Jupiter;
that he were told the earth was inhab-
tied by a race of men and women who
had been intended to lead lives of
happiness, but that many of them had
gone astray; had entirely misunder-
stood the purposes of their lives and,
while seeking pleasure, had produced
misery; that having sought remedies
In many places, from the Greek phi
losophers, from Buddha of the Far
East, that having tried remedy after
remedy, and gone from teacher to
teacher, God had finally taken pity on
them and sent his son to redeem them.
The inhabitant of Jupiter would say,
What tide of joy must have swept
over the whole earth, and it would be
a natural surmise; yet see the words
of the text, I pray thee have me ex-
cused.
You will mark that our Lord sets
forth his gospel in the image of a
feast. l know that life has it's sor
rows, it's deaths and it's Affections, but
in spite of it's great solemnities Jesus
Christ sets forth his gospel as the
satisfaction of human life, as the
source of human joy. The wants of
nature are satisfied by the gospel and
the most perfect joy comes from the
acceptance of Christ.
Il know full we'll that often times
men make of religion a source of sor-
row and grief, and yet, without doubt
the gospel of Jesus Christ is adapted
to the wants of nature and capable
of giving the greatest of joy. l Won
der if the time will ever come when
the gospel will be as tangible to men
as the other things with which they
deal in their daily lives; 1 wonder if
men will ever feel that they must have
a source of peace and satisfaction,
hope of heaven, a power to support
them during the troubles that fall to
all humanity.
What is it we ask to be excused
from? What does man most want in
this world is it money, power, social
success? If this world be Gods world
do we want to be alienated from Him,
to be estranged from our brother man,
to be out of harmony with our own
conscience? The Christian life IS a
life of peace, and happiness, and hope,
and it is from these things that we
are asking to be excused"
