preached the opening sermon to
students and other member of the
college community. A large
crowd was present to hear him
and listened to the discourse with
profound interest. The whole
sermon was a refutation of the
claim which has gone out that
our colleges are becoming the
centers of skepticlsm. 1t was
torcefully shown that a new re-
igion and a changing God was
not what our people needed but
dlat all things were old. The un-

Who lived in it. But there is a
feeling Of patronizing sympathy
in these times for all that has
gone before and a sense of GER
tainty that the twentieth century
is wholly unlike and infinitely
superior to all other centuries.
But in what sense is it different
from other periods? 1t differs in
its. material instruments and re-
sources of living, and because it
does we assume that it is essen
TALLY different.
But the central facts of the
twentieth century, the founda-
tons of our modern life have not
changed. Human nature has not
changed. 1t is today in all its
qualities and its necessities what
it was at the moment of creation.
There is not a single feature in
the tragic story of Adams early
history that is not repeated in
every home in the earth. The
appetites, the passions, the fears,
hopes, and all the elements Of
our nature have an unbroken sue
cession.
The distinction between moral
right and moral evil is distinc-
ton that is eternal, one that can
never be revised. The ten COM
mandments are as true and as APP
plicable to Americans in the
twentieth century as they were to
Israelltes in the wilderness CEN
turtles ago. Thou shalt not
bow down to any craven image,
is not a mandate that has been
Anticipated by an utter abolition
of idolatry from the earth. Amer
leans crowd the affairs of idolatry
with a zeal and a passion as in.
tense as the multitudes came to
the groves of worship set up BY
Ahab and Jezabel. The form o.
the idol may not be the same a:
it was in the degenerate land o.
Israel, but the worship is none
the less idolatrous. Thou shall
not commit adultery" has no
been abrogated by UNIVERSAL vir
tue and the cry against lust is a.
necessitous today as it was in I'll,
days Of Babylonian and of Egyp
tan shame. The words giver

hosts in the wilderness mari

Yet amid all this vast move
ment and endless change there is
in every realm an eternal center
which never moves, an entcrnal
truth which never changes, an
eternal government which can
never fall, and an eternal purpose
which can never be revised.
There is motion on the surface
but there is fxedness at the cen.
ter, The mathematician may
calculate the going of the stars,
he may ltrace out the lines OF
latitude about the earth, he may
lay out the paths Of traffic across

because the multiplication table

made four at the beginning and
they viii always make four. To
God and to angels and to men
the multiplication table is the
same. God says three times three
are nine, the wisest angel says
they are nine, the astronomer says
they are uine. and the little school
tot says they are nine. Not only
the multiplication table, but in
mathematics every relation OF
masses IS fixed, every rule of pro-
portions is fixed, and because
they are fixed and men have
learned them mathematics is a
science.

TWO WOMEN IN
BURNING AUTO
Mrs. Magill and Mrs. Lang Have
Narrow Escape from Flaming
Machine Which is Totally De-
stroyed.

Mrs. S. A. Magill, wife of Samuel Ma
gill president of the Atlanta Hosiery
mills, and Mrs. Frank Lang, of Mem
phis, had thrilling escape from burn
ing automobile early Wednesday night. In
leaping over the side of the machine Mrs.
Magill fell heavily to the pavement, sus-
tanning several cuts about the face and
Commissions on, the head. Mrs. Lang climb
ed over the front seat into the street and
beyond a nervous shock was uninjured.
The automobile. which was five-pas-
senger Cadillac, was burned almost COM
pletely up. The accident occurred on
Peachtree street, near Twelfth. Mrs. Ma
gill was taking Mrs. Lang, who Is Wis
iting her father, DR.. r. NJ. Rose, for a
drive into the city. At Twelfth street the
colored chauffeur got out to light his rear
lamp.
Just how the machine caught fire is not
known, but Mrs. Magill thinks that there
must have been some oil or gasoline eX-
posed on the rear portion OF the ma
chinery, and that when the chauffeur
struck the match This oil or gasoline be-
came ignited.
Mrs. Magill and Mrs. Lang were hur-
ried into the home of Sam d. Jones, and
everything possible was done to care for
their comfort. In the meantime, mum
Der of lawn hose were turned on the
burning automobile, and the fire depart
metn was called out.
After the ladies recovered their COM
posure they were carried to their home
by Hilton Wimbish in Col. w. A. VIM
bish large touring car. The automobile
was insured.

LINETYPE MAKERS
PUT IN TRUST CLASS

WASHINGTON, May 19.-Reverting at
the beginning Of today's session to the ac-
ton taken by the senate yesterday In
adopting a provision requiring the names
of makers TO be placed on watch works,
Mr.. Beverage today protested against
what he characterized as undue haste IN
disposing of that paragraph and said he
would fully discuss II at a later date.
He declared that this provision worked
hardship on tens Of thousands OF retail
jewellers.
Lace-making machines will be taxed at
the rate of IS per cent ad valorem when
imported into this country, although they
have been admitted free of duty in the
past, as the senate adopted the provision
TO that effect recommended by the COM
mittee. It did not go through without OPP
position. Mr.. Aldrich told Mr.. Beverage
such machines were liable to be made in
this country and Mr.. Beverage retorted:
Then this is a duty on liability"
Mr.. Stone declared that on that theory
the senate could not put anything on the
free list Mr.. Aldrich said he had great
doubt about admitting any machinery free
of duty.
Mr.. Paynter supported an amendment
placing linotype typesetting machines on
the free list instead Of continuing duty
on them OF 80 per cent ad valorem. He
said he favored this because the linotype
business was a monopoly with from 300
TO 400 per cent profits, reaching out to
control the typesetting machines of the
world.

mark the end of four days filled with
many pleasant events for all Elks who
have been TO the annual meeting.
''wait for the wagon and Wen all take a
ride.
Do you believe. sweet Philips. dear. that
old Mike with all his wealth,
Could make you half so happy as 1 with
youth and health?'
That is the water wagon slogan of the
Elks.
The water wagon will be in the big
parade of the Elks that starts Thursday
afternoon at O'Clock from the junction
ofsthe two Peachtrees.
There is going TO be a close contest
between Macon and Rome lodges for at
least two Of the prizes offered by At
lanta lodge for parade features. Both are
after the two hundred and nifty dollars
for the lodge having the greatest num-
Der IN line in uniform. and for the two
hundred dollars for making the best APP
pearance in the line of march.
The competition between these two
lodges is very keen, and both are regis
tering all Of their men at headquar-
tiers.
The Rome lodge undoubtedly has a most
unique uniform. The uniforms are fash
toned exactly after the style OF clothing
worn by the old Roman senator's. and
ter day Romans look like their fathers Of
long ago.
MACON LODGE is STRONG.
The Macon lodge is going to make
great race for the greatest number OF
Elks in line, and the Rome lodge is max
ing a determined effort to swell its num-
bers. Calls have been sent to the Hill
City for reinforcements. and the Roman
Elk who does not respond will have to be
busy indeed.
Most Of the Rome men arrived We'd
nesday night, with others to follow on
the early Thursday trains. The Macon
men made their presence felt early We'd
nesday afternoon. They are gay and
genial set OF fellows. and soon began the
battle cry Of the Elk.
WAIT FOR THE WAGON.
The feature of the parade so far as the
Atlanta lodge is implicated will be the
water wagon. It is here that the advo
Gates OF that sparkling and healthful bev-
erage viii cluster, radiating good cheer
and advertising the virtues Of acqua purs
for boating and other purposes.
Such a gigantic undertaking as this
water wagon calls for men OF nerve, men
of determination, men who can best ex-
emplify the manifold benefits to be de-
rived from riding upon this chariot OF
happiness.
For that reason great care has been
observed in the selection of the water
wagon crew. One of the first things that
had 10 be taken care Of was to get those
who would not be attacked by sea sick
ness The rolling of the waves might
cause a listing of the human cargo II
the crew was not absolutely seaworthy.
Every man who has been shipped If for
that reason waterproof. Each one has
been thoroughly parafined and rendered
impervious to any attack that may be
made by tidal or other waves.

burgess DAUGHTER
ALMOST INSANE

ADMISSION, Ala. May 19.-The five
year old daughter of Mrs. Lovey Burge,
who it is said was murdered by her
husband in Atlanta last Monday evening,
has been driven almost insane by having
witnessed the horrible crime, according
to statement made here today. 1t is
said that the little child could not sleep
at all last night until completely ex-
hausted and until after midnight cried in
trembling fear that some one was enter
ing the window to kill them.
The body of Mrs. Burge was brought
to this city last night accompanied by
her father, w. ]. Sykes, of this city, two
brothers and four children including the
15-months-old infant by her marriage to
Burge, who it is alleged kissed the child
after hacking his wife to pieces with a
razor. The body was buried today.
Judson Britain, the 17-year-old son of
Mrs. Burge by her first marriage tells
a story of his fight to protect his own
life and of seeing his mother cut to
death by hey husband which is virtually
the same as that related in Atlanta after
the tragedy.
