4 The modern industrial processes
which are the boast of our material
| civilization need to have the hand of
| Jesus laid upon them; for their dis
regard of life is incompatible with a
civilization which avows his standards.
| He cares more for the worker than for
the work. Flesh and blood men are
worth more to him, and to society,
than iron casting, coal. or steel plates
and rails. An aroused public con-
science is beginning to echo ominously
his exclamation, How much then is a
man of more value than a sheep!"
The Sabbath was made for man; and
the world was made for man; and
science was formulated for man; and
laws were made for man. Gods or
der Is inverted when, after God him
self. man is not put first.
The brooding. yearning, hungry love
of Christ for humanity is being under
iously expressed, the passion may be
discovered on every hand. The num-
Der of those whose sentiment, like
that of Jesus, is caught by these lines
of F. w. H. Meyers is legion:
"Only. like souls I see the folk there
under,
Bound who should conquer, slaves
who should be kings!-
Hearing their one hope with an empty
wonder,
Sadly oonteilted in a show of things.
''Then with rush of into1erable crav-
ing
shivers throughout me like trumpet
Oh to save these! to perish for their
saving,
Die for their life, be offered for
them ALI"
The 'Higher" Law.
There is a higher law than may
be found on any human statute books.
1t is the law Of the loving heart of
a just and sovereign God. AS one COM
mentator, Rev. A. Carr, writes. 'There
Is something more binding than the
law, and that is the principle which
underlies the law. The law, rightly
understood, is the expression of Gods
love to man. If law is so under
stood, it becomes only a blessing and
not a burden.
In this mood, we face the Sabbath
question; and we find that it is not
a day to be kept in any liberalism of
rules, but in the free spirit of religion
bath redeemed the Sabbath of the
Lord from the fetter of Jewish eccles-
iasticism which bound 1t.
The Sabbath is for man-and for
the best that is in man.
The Sabbath should be day of SER
vice as well as of services.
The Lords day is also mans day:
the peril is that man will divert 1t
to base uses, forgetting the highest
needs Of his best self.
The Sabbath looks back to the first
creation, then to the new creation in
Christ. and forward to the social crea-
ton still in progress. A short sighted
keeping of the Sabbath puts tomorrow
in jeopardy.
All who love the Lord of the Gay
will learn to love the day of the Lord.
The best kept Sabbath is that which
brings rest and reverence to the great
est number Of persons.
That Sabbath misses its highest
mission which does not bring two
worlds into contact in the heart of
man.
The Sabbath that is not kept Joy
ously is not kept holy.

Brunswick, Ga, Dec, 81, 1909
Honorable Mayor and Council,
Brunswick, Ga.
Gentlemen: The principal features
in this department during the year
were the repairs to the hospital roof
and the installation Of steam heat
er, an appropriation Of 100000 hav-
ing been made as an advance to the
board of trustees to assist them in
installing this heater These were
extraordinary expenses, and are not
chargeable in the ordinary working
expenses of this department. The re
pairs to the roof embraced reset
ting of the entire thing on the roof,
and replacing all the old tin work
with new tin. The cost was $616.47
as shown in the clerks report.
The plastering in the hospital be-
came more or less damaged before
the roof was repaired, and during the
installation of the heater, and it will
now be necessary to repair it in prac-
tically every room and hall. Chair

1t seems no more than just, in the
opinion of your committee. that the
hospital should care for larger num-
Der of the city's charity patients than
it does at present. The appropria-
ton of $500 per month which council
makes 20 the hospital in proportion
to the city's revenue, is very liberal,
and practically two-thirds Of it is 4
pure gratulty, 1t being exceedingly
doubtful if the charity treatment at
the hospital for the city's acc count ex-
ceeds $1,000.
The city's charity list grows num-
cricaily every year. with a conse
ruently larger expense. The city and
the county should cooperate in some
way and establish u poor house, i

it is not practical for the hospital to
handle more charity subjects. At all
events, the expense to the city for
the account of hospital and charities
could be materially lessened if there
were more hearty cooperation be-

Early in the year financial mat
ter of interest was the retirement OF
the $62, $4,000 per cent. bonds, and
coupons maturing January 1, 1909. Re
ports were made to your honorable
body of the payment of these bonds
in detail at every regular meeting I'm
til the bonds were all presented and
paid. After paying all outstanding
bonds it appeared that s5075 of cou-
pons were still outstanding. Setting
aside that amount as reserve liabil-
ity, a balance of $3,859.61 remained
from the sale of the per cent. bonds
which were sold for the purpose, and
this balance was turned into the gen
eral fund for surface drainage.
1t is we'll known that, owing to mis-
fortunes, the recurrence Of which we
should at all times be diligent to pre-
vent, we have no money in the sinking
fund for the redemption of our out
standing bonds. Making good this
deficit is matter that should not be
longer delayed, and, in our opinion
cannot too early receive the attention
that the good faith and credit of the
city demands; from the present out
|look it is probable that bond is
psue will be necessary for that pur-
pose; for that reason your committee
does not endorse or approve the prop
position to issue bonds for paving pur-
poses. While we have a margin fol
issuing bonds, our first duty is to re
habilitate the sinking fund, and il
view of the small margin that would
then be left, it would hardly be wise
! in our opinion, to use up the balance
of the bond issue or risk the waste
Of it in a paving contract, leaving III
nothing for an emergency, such as tn,
