DISCUSSES CHURCH'S
MISSION IN DISEASE
DR.. DAY REVIEWS ACCOUNTS
OF MIRACULOUS HEALING
Auto-sugaestion and Faith Explain
Events Hitherto Regarded by
Science as Beyond Bounds
of Possibility

At the First Congregational church,
Rev. William Horace Day is discussing
the mission of Christianity to the sick
Yesterday morning he preached on
1.-THE Healing Ministry of Jesus" He
said, in part:
I'VE are confronted with this ques-
ton: Has the church a duty to the sick
as well as to the sinner? Should she
have a part in the healing of disease
For three Sundays we shall consider
this question as we discuss the healing
ninistry8 of Jesus, of the Apostolic
church and of the modern church. This
morning we take the first: 1.-THE heal
ing ministry of Jesus
in the record Of the gospels there
are more than thirty persons with
whom our Lord dealt as individuals
Besides these are several general ref
erences to the healing of disease and
casting out of demons. These miracles
have been stumbling blocks to faith
In modern experience there seemed
nothing that would make them intel
ligible. but scholarship has come, and
with Harnaek, these are referred to as
indisputably first-hand accounts OF
Jesus life. The attestation in psychoi-
ogy is not less interesting. There is
seen to be a scientific basis for many
types of healing which a too hasty
scientific dogmatism has pronounced
Impossible, and therefore incredible
Never since the Apostolic age could
men have been more certain of the es-
sential truthfulness of the healing
ministry of Jesus.
Jesus was able to heal because Goo
was in him: because he fulfilled the
prophecy and was Immanuel-God with
us. BY the life of prayer he kept his
fellowship with the Father unbrol2en

CREASES ONES SUPPLY
Rev. j. &. COLON breaches on Theme
"Gathering the Fragments" and
Shows Charity Enhances
Mans Blessings

Pastor ]. E. COLON of the New Jeru-
salem Christian church spoke yesterday
morning on the theme Gathering the
Fragments" taking his text from John
6:12, "And when they were filled he
saith unto his disciples Gather up the
broken pieces that remain over, that
nothing be lost
"Our Lords miracle OF feeding the
5000 with five barley loaves and two
fishes" said the minister, lis a divine
parable. Among other things 1t teaches
these three lessons: That Jesus Christ
the Word is the bountiful giver OF
grace and truth, the souls food; that
as we use what knowledge and affec-
ton we have in doing good to others
he increases our supply and that the
result of ministering to others is an
immense increase in personal capacity.
"As we enter upon a new year the
third lesson seems peculiarly sugges-
tive. Our Savior's command to the
apostles to gather up the fragments in
wolves an important truth of the king
dom of the heavens, namely, that every
loving service rendered to others en-
riches ourselves, when we acknowledge
him and act under his direction.
1.-THE widow of Zarepheth had but a
handful of meal in the jar, and little
oil in the cruse;' but having obeyed
Gods voice in making for Elijah a little
cake thereof. the jar of meal wasted
not, neither did the cruise of oil fail.
How impressively does this parable
teach, that as we dispense to others in
the spirit of obedience, so we receive
of Gods inwasting fullness. Give, said
the divine Teacher, and it shall be
given unto you; good measure, pressed
down, shaken together, running over,
shall they give into your bosom. For
with what measure We mete it shall be
measured to you again.

TERRIFIC STORM
THIS AFTERNOON

From Ito to 1.30 this afternoon
a terrific rain storm accompanied
by high wind and some hail Wis
tied this city and immediate sec
ton. The damage done was prob
ably limited to the cotton. Many
bales were blown out and rained
into the earth in the twenty min
utes.
The iron awning over the Grant
street entrance to the Empire Mer-
camille cOmpany's store was torn
from it's fastenings and went crash
ing to the sidewalk. The plate
glass front of the Fitzgerald I'm
dertaking establishment was blown
in and several windows n the
Bowen block were demolished.
1t was about as near as we get
to real storm in this section.
Chief of Police Harrison returned
home Saturday afternoon from
SeDoa where he went Thursday to
attend the funeral of his father.

The intimates of the ZOO have

telling them about the nice things
that people have been saying about
them and about the "fire boyso

And, too, the animals seem to want
to help all they can to make the

doing very nicely indeed.
"You see," the mother squeeked
up, $50 many people cone here to
see us and say such nice things
about us that we felt in duty bound
to do something to help the "b0ys"
along" and, "she continued" you
can say for us that there is no rea-
son why some people should say
that we are not happy here, for we :
are. The "boys" are just as good
to us as they can be and we have
really come to love some of them
very much"
The mother then heard one Of

Business Rapidly
Growing Better
Fitzgerald Real Estate
Market Has Many
Buyers. General
Conditions In
All Lines Is

Business conditions in Fitzgerald
are fast coming to a 'Eboom" point.
Transactions in real estate were
heavier during the past week than
they have been for the past year.
The buying has been done by par
ties from outside who will build
homes on the lots they have bought.
One reason for this is that already
many are coming here to be on
hand when the Improvement work
starts up next month. But the
ones who have bought Fitzgerald
property are coming here to make
this city their permanent home.
There is no doubt but that if a
new census were taken now it would
show that the population was well
over the eight thousand mark.
Then too cotton came in fast last
week Notwithstanding that the
price was low. Many farmers are
holding their cotton but these are
few. The most of them deciding
that they will get what they can
out of the cotton now and not wait
for raise. OF course the bring
ing and selling of the cotton has
added thousands of dollars to the
circulation of money in the city
with a consequent improvement
to all lines of business. Collections
are growing better every day, &C
cording to the statements of those
who are in a position to know.
Not alone to Fitzgerald and Ben
Hill county is the condition of bust
ness growing better but all over
the south. The Industrial Index
in it's last issue says, among other
things that over dozen new cor
porations with minimum capital
exceeding a half-mlllion dollars,
applied for charter during the
week i'll Georgia.

City Government
Loses The Game.
Postoffice Employees Garry
Off the Game of Base
Ball, Big Crowd
Witness

Yesterday was a great day for
the lovers of baseball in Fitzgerald.
And there are lot of them, judging
from the crowds that lined the
diamond at the fourth ward ball
grounds. There were a good
many ladies in the audience, too,
and they entered heartily into the
spirit of the occasion.
The first game was between the
city government and postOffice
employees. 1t began soon after
three O'Clock and from start to
finish furnished the onlookers with
plenty'Of fun. There were some
surprises in store for the city ag
gregation who, previous to the
start of the game declared there
would be no mail delivered in Fitz
gerald for the next ten days be
cause the pOstoffice would be put
out of business. But as things
turned out it was hardly possible
for Mayor Knapp to get enough of
the city fathers togeter for the
COUNCIL meeting scheduled for last
night.
Those that played under the
city colors were: Mayor Knapp,
who by the way covered first base
like an old timer. Alderman Big
ham played all around third base
as well as the home plate. Alder
nan Hays did good work in
center field but when it come his
turn at the bat he got stage fright
and was struck out every time. So
did Alderman Mosher. Chief PO-
lice Harrison furnished one of the
surprises of the day. He was sent
out to play right field and before
the game had progressed to any
extent anyone could sec that he
had !sbeen there before" and when
it came his turn to bat he just nat.
urally lifted the ball to any quar-.
ter of the feld he wanted to. Chief
Wilkerson made an effective sec.
ond baseman as we'll as batsman
and once he started to run the
bases there was no use trying to
to stop him, or Bill Jewel either,
for that matter. Carl Stevers
pitched for the city boys and, tho
little wild at times did good
work. Anyway what he lost in
the box he made up at the bat,
scoring two runs in three times up.
George Kircher caught and it is
safe to say it was the hardest days
work he has done for long time.
For he worked like Trojan and
even if he had not had practice he
showed up fairly well, thank you.
Uncle Sam was represented by
Clarence Lee and Willis Smith
principally. arClence caught and
he dit it, too. Fothing went back
of him that could be touched by a

the best that the city fathers
could do was to get seven men
over the plate. G. W. Urmy UNI
pired the game and was, on sever
al occasions, completely surround
ed by acquaintance. But he stuck
to his decisions just like every
good umpire does.

MRS. HSKE IS COMING
 ID ORPHEUM THEATRE
Booked In Bisbee June 13 in
 Henrik IbSen's Drama ROSmershOIm.

Mrs. Fiske will appear, under the management of Harrison Grey Fiske, in "Rosmersholm," Henrik Ibsenis great drama, at the 0rpheu-n Thurs day. June IS. It is Mrs. Fiske's new est offering and by all accounts the triumph Of her career. "Rosmers- holm" is the last and most important of the modern social dramas of lbsen. In it we see first a graphic picture of the clash between advanced lib eral thought and the conservatism which clings to tradition.
 How admirably suited are Mrs. Fiske's naturalistic methods of the plays of Ibsen al; familiar with her former offerings know. But ReDecca West seems almost to have been writ ten for her, and 1t is proving the big role of her career. The play will have a cast commensurate with it's worth Iii Arthur Forrest as Rosmer. Fuller Mellish as Kroll, George Arliss as Brendel. Albert Pruning as MoTtens- gard and Mary Maddern as Madame Helseth. Mrs. Fiske will have asso ciates who should make much OI the opportunities that each part affords.

THE WEDDING
 IF MISS BRADY
 AND MIR. TRUAx
Simple, But impressive Cere- mony at the St. Patrick's Catholic Church at g O'Clock Yesterday Morning.

The marriage of Miss Sadie Mary Brady and MT. William Aloysius Truax, performed by Rev. Father Muerer at St. Patrick's church yes terday morning at o'clock, was a simple and very impressive ceremony. Only the immediate families of the bride and groom and a few invited guests were present. The only dec orations were the white flowers and softly burning tapers on the altar.
 As Prof Clarence Krinbill touched the organ to the strains of Dohen- grin's beautiful wedding march. Miss Brady came down the isle on the arm of Mir. Truax, accompanied by her maid of honor, Miss Mamie Truax. sister of the groom, and Mir Harry Daly, cousin to the bride.
 The sweet and solemn sacrement of matrimony, closing with the revered ceremony of the ring, was followed by a mass said for the happiness ana guidance of the two just launching their life craft upon the rosiate sea of wedlock, and after this observance the Holy Communion was administer ed to Mir. and Mrs. Truax and other members of the bridal party prepared to receive this sacrement.
 The bride was charming in a soft gown of white satin, a hat of exqui- site white lace and dropping plumes crOwning the masses of her darK tresseS.
 Miss 1ruax wore d clingi1g costume ! of pale blue. touched here and there i with medallions of cream lace. with a hat of blue and cream to harmoniZe ! The bride carried a large boquet of ! white roses tied with white satin rib bons, while the brides maids flow CTS were delicate, baby pink in hue. 1 The groom and his attendant were attired in the conventional black Both the costuming of the participants and the appointments of the churct were appropriate to the quiet morn

 continued strains Of 1>ohengrin's we'd

Owing, however, to the intervention of considerate friends, and to the fact that Father Muerer and Miss Truax accompanied them into the carriage, the mad prank of the fun-loving schemers was abandoned.
 Immediately upon reaching the brides home, a tasty wedding break fast was served to the party. The brides boquet was hung above the table, forming an artistic center to the floral ornamentation, which draped itself in dainty festoons above the breakfasters.
 The bridal presents were displayed upon a handsome buffet, a gift from the brides mother, and upon several small tables, forming an attractive array of beautiful china, silver and cut glass ware.
 Besides the graceful hostess, Mrs. Brady, and Mir and Mrs. Truax, jr., there were present Mir. and Mrs. Will liam Truax, ST., of Los Angeles, the parents of the groom; Miss Mamie Truax, the gracious and smiling maid of honor, also from Los Angeles; Rev Father Muerer, Mir and Mrs. Ash and family, Mir. and Mrs. Fleming, Mrs Frazee, Mir.

as to whether such removal complies with the law was involved.
 Ike Cooper was the complaining witness in the case, and while 1t ue- veloped during the examination of the witnesses that he had the defendant arrested more through malice than to see the law enforced, the point in yolved remained the same.
 The complaint alleges that on or about the 30th of May the defendant, Jacob Kerner, sold liquor in dance hall in Brewery Gulch from saloon which was in the same building. The point made by the defense was that the buildings were separate ones and practically all of the witnesses uesJi- fled that there was a space of rom two to four feet between the two.
 A war of words between the attor nays was waged over the point as to whether evidence showing intent on the part of the complaining witness to injure the defendant should be al. lowed. As fast as the court overruied one question. another along the same lines was introduced. In the lattei part Of the trial the testimony of one Of the witnesses which bore Off ehls point was allowed.
 This witness testified that ne had been walking along Brewery Gulch when he was approached by Ike Cooper, who after few preliminary questions, asked him if he would buy bottle of beer in the place in which the violation of the law is alleged to have occurred Cooper furnished him with a dollar and he agreed to do so He was then used as witness against the defendant
 It also developed during the tTial that until about two weeks ago Cooper and Kerner had been partners in the saloon which is alleged 10 bs
