"GIRL PROBLEM" IS BIGGEST,
DR.. CAMPBELL MORGAN SAYS
Noted Divine Preaching
Twice Daily at Tabernacle
to Large Audiences - Is
Impressive Speaker
BY MORGAN BLAKE

| with at present IS the opinion OF DIT.
G. Campbell Morgan. famous British
divine, now resident of Athens, Ga.
who is preaching series of sermons
I at the Baptist Tabernacle on lessons
from the Bible.
Girls" said DR.. Morgan, "are
now investigating intellectually with
more keenness than the boys are,
and they also are having their filings
in all sorts Of frivolities. do not
mean by this statement that girls
are more intellectual than boys; nor
do I have any reference to actual
obliquity when say 'frivolities.'
"But at Vassar, Smith, Wellesley
and other important girls schools
the emancipation of women and
women's rights movements along all
lines have made this generation OF
girls keener in intellectual investiga-
ton than in any previous genera.
ton. However, in this new free
dom they have also, it seems, seen
freedom for frivolities.
"Our duty now is to get hold of
these girls and show them that the
! Christian religion will not hamper
them in their intellectual investiga.
ton, and that it will take all their
resources and vitality and make t
a means for service rather than
selfishness."
DR.. Morgan is preaching at the
Tabernacle twice daily at II o'clock
in the morning and 1880 o'clock at
night. He is speaking to large audi
ences of men and women who are
listening with eagerness to the words
of the veteran preacher. The charm,
the fascination, the beautiful Eng
| fish Of this man, would be irresistible
were he speaking on any platform
and on any subject. And when he
speaks on the subject most vital to
the human race the only way to ex-
press it is, that he is superb, over
whelming, tremendous. Certainly no
man knows his Bible better than DR..
Morgan, and no man that the. writer
ever listened to can make it's truths
so simple to grasp and so beautiful
in their grasping.
Speaks on "Grace"
DR.. Morga~ has been speaking at
the evening services this week on
grace, 1.-The super Astounding grace
of God" He has said grace is a
gift from God; that it cannot be
earned; that it cannot be bought;
and that we have no right to 1t
save the greatest right of all which
j., that it is the gift of Astounding
love. 1t is there if we but ask for
it, and that God is the Great Ply
sician, who can cure all human
maladies.
Suppose, said DR.. Morgan, that
you were suffering from a malady
of the body and a physician were
to come to you with a sure cure.
am only assuming this. no ply
sycian has ever claimed to have a
sure cure for any malady. But,
suppose X were so. Would you
shun this cure? And if you did
and died would your death be be.
cause of your malady or because
you refused the cure? And so God
comes to you in your malady of sin
with the gift of his Astounding love
as sure cure. Are you going to
refuse this?"
DR.. Morgan has preached great
sermons his life but never one
greater than that of Wednesday
night. A person who could listen
to that sermon and not be moved by
it vas certainly created without
a heart or soul.
The writer has had the delightful
pleasure of knowing DR.. Morgan
personally for a long time. His
personality off the platform is as
charming as when he is speaking
publicly. He h a keen sense Of
humor, a warm love for humanity,
and is one of the most approach
able of men.
"I haven't seen a football game
yet" he said, because 1 have been
away from Athens SO much Of the
time, but my boy and girls go to
the games and root like mad for
Georgia. But I'll tell you the game
[ am -. to Sc and that is the
game on Thanksgiving day be-
tween Tech and Auburn
Remarkable Growth of Atlanta
Il have been coming to Atlanta"
said DR.. Morgan, "since 1898, and

and goes who can appreciate the
wonderful and remarkable growth of
Atlanta as a city since that time.
When I first came here in 1893, I
stopped at the Kimba1l House, and
there was no city beyond the bridge
at all.
Mention was made that DR.. Nor.
gan started coming to Atlanta about
the time that William Jennings
Bryan started running for president.
Yes, and Bryan is running strong
er with me now than he ever was"
said DR.. Morgan. "He is one of the
worlds greatest men,"
The question of British politics
came up, and DR.. Morgan left no
doubt that he is a great admirer Of
Lloyd George.
Like it was in this country" said
DR.. Morgan, "the pendulum natural
ly swung back in England and the
conservatives. who are the repre-
sentatives Of aristocracy and feudal-
ism in our government. have gained
control. But their reign will not be
long. Lloyd George is not a man
who can be kept down. England is
not country that will be kept out
Of progressive channels. England
is a democracy.
Lloyd George has done many
great things. and give him the
credit for checkmating the Turks.
and thereby preventing massacre
of Christians in Constantinople as
taerrible DIS the Smyrna massacre.
The world owes Lloyd George many
debts Of gratitude since the great
war started in 1914.
A Minister Since 1888
DR.. Morgan was ordained min.
lister of the gospel in 1888, thirty
four years ago. And he preached
