The attendance at the First Baptist
Church last night was good and the
congregation listened to a splendid
sermon from Rev. Otto Bamber on the
subject of Gods Balances" The SER
mon was one of the best of the series
and the congregation was very attent-
i've during the entire discourse. Mr..
Reynolds had charge of.the singing, as
usual.
The sermon at the day services yes
terday was decidedly interesting and
instructive. Among many other good
things, the preacher said on the subject
of "The Work of the Holy Spirit in the
Church"
Il consider the Holy Spirit and his
work the very heart of the church. The
best way to get to the bottom of any
proposition is to trace 1t back to its
beginning.
when Paul asked the people of the
church at Ephesus If they had received
the Holy Spirit since they had be-
lieved, they answered him in very
natural way when they said that they
had heard nothing about such thing
Paul went straight to the heart Of the
question and then he taught them
the things they ought to know about
it,
when Christ spoke to the church
he used the words diligence, disci

The chaffeurs in charge of the auto
mobile, that ran over and killed Mr..
Will A., Aaron. at one time promi-
nent attorney in this city and who was
in New Orleans on railroad business,
was acquitted in the criminal court
Thursday.
Mr.. Aaron's sad death was greatly
deplored in Hattiesburg, where he had
many friends. He was lawyer of
great ability and was a successful rail
road promoter.
A New Orleans paper gives this ac-
count of the trial:
Manslaughter-Me Friedman
The accused, a Chauffeur, while driving
his. automobile at a high rate of speed
up st. Charles avenue about 6 O'Clock
one evening during last fall, run ovel
and killed a gentleman named Aaron
who had just alighted from St
Charles avenue car, and was on his
way home to dinner at his boarding
house on ST. Charles, near Melpoment
street. The evidence against the young
man yesterday. was not sufficient,
strong to warrant Judge Skinner il
committing Friedman to the highe
court; in fact, there was nothing t.

Police Justice Paul Johnson had a
full house when he called court to or
der yesterday morning.
There was large crowd of women
from the red light district who had
been called before the court to answer
the charge of being Migrants and in
mates of houses of ilLfame. i
Most of the women were attired in
fashionable garments and only few
of them bore the hard look that is COM
mon to women of their Grass.
The majority of them appeared to
take their arrest as a joke, for at the
beginning, and before any of the cases
were tried, they laughed and talked,
but when the amount of the first fine
was announced, there was percepti-
bic change in their countenances and
they began to see the serious side of
the matter.
The first one at the bat appeared
to be very much amused and frequent
ly looked back at her companions in
shame, with a beaming face, and she
promptly entered plea of not guilty
but when his honor had heard the evi
dence and said "your fine will be $50,
the affair quickly assumed differen
attitude.
The women who were fined gave
their names as follows, but most of thu
names are supposed to be stage
names"
Nettie Compton, frankie st. Clair
Ruth Cakes, Cecile Johnson, all plead
ed mot guilty" and were fined 50
each.
The following pleaded guilty an
were fined $25 each: Olive Sanford

Judge said that she must be something
wonderful and out of the ordinary, and
for this distinction, he thought SIS
would be about the correct amount
for her to pay.
One of the women said that she was
the stenographer to the land lady and
that she simply stayed there to per-
form the duties appertaining to her
situation. The Judge thought that she
was in the wrong place for duties of
this kind and after hearing evidence
he told her she would have to come
across with $50.
| The following women who were fined
| $50, succeeded in enlisting the SYM
pathy of his honor and their fines were
reduced to $40 each: Maude Hedges,
Helen Anderson and Camille Fuller.
The total amount of fines collected
from the women was $430.
Four of the women could not pay

did you know that there is only
one place in the Bible where any one
lost Christ? And the very last per-
son that we would think of losing
him-his mother-was the one VINO got
away from him. But when she went
back to the place where she left him,
she found him again. So 1t is spiritu-
ally, when we get away from him we
will find him where we left him.
There is such thing as becoming
so concerned in different branches of
work-the Ladies' Aid. Endowing Col
leges, and even gathering missions that
we forget to keep face to face with
Christ. Fellowship with God comes
only by keeping in touch with him.
The trouble with us is that we have
reduced Christianity to the multiple
cation table and are worshipping God
with yard stick.
