VICTIMS
INCREASING IN
SIX STATES
Ninety Known Dead, Thirty
GeorgianS, and RumorS of
More TOday'S Report.

Six states. stricken by disastrous
storms. today are anXiousiy trying 10
investigate rumors that the aggregate
Of death and destruction lie greater than
the first reports made out. The GER
tain death roll is more than 30, OF
which number OF storm victims 30 are
Georgians.
After the first fever Of investigation
and discovery in tine stricken sections,
when an inventory of actual death and
destruction was taken. the realization
comes that many persons are missing
and probably killed. Ten are missing IN
Gordon county besides the eleven
whose bodies have been recovered.
Fatalities Increasing.
In all ,hat section of Georgia where
the storm force was heaviest felt, from
Atlanta northward to Charleston and to
Gordon county. fear is expressed that
the fatality is greater than at first re-
ported Swollen creeks make trave,

Anxious residents Of the stricken dis
tricts have no means at present Of as

wrought by the storm of Thursday
night
In the stricken sections about Clarks-
ton Tucker, Eaglesvilie, Rosedale, Cur

or towns. the residents are trying, In
humanity's name. TO set aside thoughts
OF the dead and to devote their atten-
lions tot ne sufferers. whose homes and
household stores were destroyed. Re-
lief expeditions are being organized in
every community which felt the force
Of the storm. and caravans are going
out laden with provision for medical
succor with food and clothing.
Storm Sweeps All Away.
The storm Travelled with its force
concentrated in a ribbon Of living fury.
And wherever that band Of power
moved. from Atlanta's suburbs north
eastward TO the Carolina line, a path is
moved through forests, villages and
across farms, trees leveled, houses fiat

out TO investigate has given rise in
the north Georgia counties 10 the fear
that even more destruction must have
resulted. inevitably.

The section is entirely clear, but the

the fact that the new plan is a radical
departure from the beaten paths to
which candidates and the public gen.

Jesus does not want his watchme0
on the walls of Zion to engage in the
business of sowing doubts In the minds
of those for whom he died, in order
that they might trust in him and live,
Christs enemies will do all that kind
of work that is necessary, and more
than is wanted.
AS rule, controversial preaching
Is detrimental to salvation OF sinners.
and even to the building up Of the
saints. Take notice of the method
of preaching that the Saviour prac-
ticed. His Sermon on the Mount ID
the model to go by. Nothing in that
sermon to cause doubts to arise in
the minds concerning mighty truths.
Take pattern after that discourse; and
even If you do your best to come any
where near initiating 1t. 1t will b
only by the help of God that you can
speak with authority and convincing
power. And to obtain that help you
will need to exercise all the faith you
can command.
Let all good preachers take heed to
what Christ said when he uttered the
words; And /, II be lifted up from
the earth, will draw all men unto
me-"
The only method that will win the
people to Christianity Is the lifting
up of Christ and keeping in the shade
ourselves.

The most successful preachers this

What to Preach
ny GEORGE n. SCOTT.

Preaching is a very serious matter.
When men, women and children as
semble themselves together in the
house of the Lord. surely they should
expect to hear something that will
feed their souls and not hear that
which tends. to create doubts in their
minds, and thus add to their sorrow
instead of their comfort.
The business of the minister of the
gospel is to draw people to Christ
IL that is not his mission he has none.
If doubts concerning Bible truths
exist In the minds of the congrega-
ton, that sad state of affairs will not
be improved by quoting the opinions
of Mr.. Robert Ingersoli, or of any
other inidel.
There are lots of things In this world
that cannot be explained or reasoned
out, especially by those who have not
the ability to dive into questions that
puzzle even the wisest.

meat that feeds the soul. and so plain
that even fool otherwise can under

From the New York Sum-
A number of the members of tht Met
ropolitan Opera Company have lately
been recounting an incident which has
proved mirthful to various students of
human nature in the vicinity of Broad
way and >Thirty-nsnth Street.
1t appears that Ricardo Martin while
in Paris was invited by a fashionable
woman to be one of box party at the
opera. The performance was "Goetter-
daemmerung' and it was Martins pleas
ure to he seated next to the hostess.
The Metropolitan tenor, who believes
there is such a thing as opera etiquette
and greatly dislikes talk and hustle
during performances, proved more in
teresting to his companion than the
music was to her. From the time the
curtain went up tilfft descended at the
last act the woman chatted necessarily
in Martins ear.
When the last strains of the orches-
ira had died away and the throngs were
leaving the exits the talkative one ex-
claimed:
"Ah, monsieur, will you not accom-
pany me next week to hear Faust? "
Thank you, very much" answered
the tenor. Il don't recall that l ever

Wheat advanced WITH oats. and because
of a bullish outlook regarding the visible

somewhat disappointing as compared with

easy feeling at the close.
