faithi Religion is the one. great, un-
ending, and ever-riew adventure Of
mankind
One hostile writer has said that re.
hgion 10 nothing but q romantic ex-
element. Religion Is much more
than that. but romantic It surely is;
We admit the fact and glory In Il.
1t 10 with happy pride that we say
that religion IL not lacking In the best
or romance. Adventure ts not con-
fned to the romantic, but romance
is always adventurous and, therefore,
has universal appeal to humanity.
We cannot tell by word OF mouth
just what religion n; Il cannot be
either defined or defended satisfac-
torily In verbal manner. It is only
by trying II, by living It. that We find
out just what religion Is. Dogma is
OF much assistance. men and churches
aid by descriptions and narratives
Of their experiences; but knowing
i about religion is not suficient. we
must know II. we must advance fur
ther into its territory; we must make
the Great Adventure.
What aSmarvelous stretch there is
ahead Of US; continuous SURPRISES,
wonderful mysteries await us as IL.
faith we advance into the realm Of
religion. upon the worlds greatest
Adventure. ITO find God ID the true
romance OF the soul"
o, what an adventure there is for
those who are ready to try II. for
those who would seek to discover
Godl ~
Other adventures stir with their
discoveries. their conquests. their
hardships.- and their victories. So.
:. in the Great Adventure, We are
thrilled with Its discoveries. Rom
quests, hardships, and victories. We

by gigantic mysteries, we are soothed
by an indescribabIe peace. we rejoice
In the discovery of meanings. in the

Verdict. but Cuts Award.

Justice Hitz ruled yesterday that
Supt. Louis F. Zinkhan, OF the wash
ington jail, 10 without authority to re-
commit to occoquan prisoners whose

popular young business men of this
city, and II Brunswickian born and
degree, passed away at his home on
Wolf street at 4:l5 o'clock Yesterday
afternoon. The death of MIR. Marlin
comes in the nature of a tragedy and
4 shock to the people OF the entire
community.
Ga Saturday morning last he was
the subject OF an operation for Il
slight affection of the nose He did
not rally from the operation as well
as he should. and some alarm was
entertained by attending physicians
Early Monday morning it was OBJ
served that meningitis had developed
and from that time to the hour OF
his death he failed rapidly. Practi
cnlly every physician in the city went
to the aid OF the stricken Brunswick
ian. and everything possible that med
zeal science could suggest was re,
sorted to, but without avail, and
death relieved the sufferer.
Eugene Marlin was but thirty-one
years old, but in that brief span OF
years he had accomplished much and

the banking interests of the city, but
for few years service as cashier OF
the local freight Offices of the A.. L
and A. railroad. However, some five
years ago he purchased an interest il
the Georgia Hardware company, anu
became its secretary and treasurer
exercising to large extent the &C
tive management of the company
He was a keen business man, a gooc
accountant, and. above all. possessed
a charming, jovial disposition tina
| made and retained for him thousand:
OF friends.
Several years ago Mr. Marlin wai
married to Miss Deborah Stewart
and to that union three sweet little
| children were born, all of whom sur
viye him. The home life was thus
| ideal, and both Mr.. and Mrs. Marlin
were popular in the social circles o

was member OF the Masons and @
