Friend, guardian and protector of us all; Come forward; save your friends and save your country. —Aristophanes. Saturday Evening. "Do you blush? Sufferers of Involuntary blushing send for free particular! of our remedy. — . This la not, aa might he auppoged. an extract from the opaque humor of Punch or Pick-Me-Up, but we find It gravely neatllng among the classified advcrtlsments of a -family periodical, dlaputlng the top of the column with patent Incubatora and Mra. Soothlow'a Winning Syrup. Wa have no meana of knowing how many answers were aent In response to this enticing offer, nor, Indeed, how many people there are In tbla braaen world who would like to be cured of the good old habit of bluablng. But we take occaalon to remark that wherever thle spontaneous tendency remains unabated—wherever the naUve modeaty of girlhood and womanhood, or even of manhood, la still ready to fling out the crimson banner of a blush at the approach of evil communlcatlona which corrupt good mannera, about the laat thing In the world they should eeek to do would be to employ some palm- Itching empiric to deatroy that wholesome tendency. We sometlmea wonder If the ability to bluah la not . paaslng away, at beat. We are almost ready to aak, with Hamlet, "0 abame, where la thy bluah ?” The crime of the fratricide to which be referred, might dwaken. In these yellow days, a moment'a Intercat, and perbapa evoke a few perfunctory expression* of regret, until tb* next day'* horror crowded the memory of It from our mlnda. But the slna against the Individual and agalnat so ciety multiply so rapidly In this age of ready'communica tion that abame aeema verily to have toat Ita bluah, and the world la becoming a* callous as the upper ten of Babylon. It la not the evil communlcatlona atone—not the rlaque stories and indelicate alluvions which would have ahocked our well bred grandmother*—but the Inao- lence of graft and the Impudence of greed, the dlapoal- tlon to minify the moral obloquy of deed* which we have been taught to look upon aa wrong, which haa trnmplod under foot the ensign of shame and taught ua to endure, to pity and embrace the hideous mien of vice. It Is not necesaary that a man should be a states man In order to realise how far this tendency has gone In our public life and In the conduct of our great com mercial systems. Men clothed In the'garments of re spectability and bolding high sogta In the synagogue, violate tha natural rights of society not only without oompunctlon but apparently without any realisation of the fact that thay are guilty of any moral turpitude. The story of Alexander and the pirate Is old and yet ever new. It ha* become trite to say that the man who steals n million Is merely an expert In high finance. It Is only the petty thief of the barn-yard who la characterised aa he really deserves. The widow and the fatherless are consistently robbed by the intricate ayatam* of corporate power; human Ilfs I* Imperiled and the domestic budget robbed by the self-satisfied syndicates which sell us for maldehydo for the nutritious Juices of meat; tho great transportation system* laugh at the cobweb netting of the law, spun for filee too weak to break through, and yet their bosom'* lord appears to alt lightly on hla throne. Is It not time to ask, "0 shame, where Is thy blush?" Is It not Urn* to recall that nugget of ooramon sense which Dowell gave ua?— "In vain w* call old notions fudge, And bend our conscience to our dealing; The Ten Commandments will not budge, And stealing will continue stealing." Do we grow too serious and pessimistic? Then let ua say that for Ita own sake tha cunning worker* In Hash and blood should not rob tha world of Ita blush**. What, indeed, could be more beautiful than the man tling color of girlhood In the rich, mld-momlng of all her budding charms— -ri "Tha soul, the music breathing In her face. Dike to a lighted alabaster vase?” Thera Is a glory of tha rising and of the setting sun, wfoen the gray clouds are streaked with the crlmaon of the coming or the passing day. There Is a glory of the autumn leaf, when tha dying year breathes upoa tb* sumac and the maple and the wood* put on thalr royal livery of red. But all thalr ebromstle shades, from pearly pink to passion’s poppy splendor, fade before the blush of mod esty and Innocence Only figuratively, perhaps, can wa reasonably expect that the ragged cheek of manhood coaid blush, even for all the varied form* of malfeasance under the sun. But satiny cheeks In which tha crimson currents come and go, while life Is young and hopes are high and > el the world Is new. are no figments of the imaginative mlnd.i They are a dainty and sweet reality. Shall the mountebanks take them from ua and give u "faultily faultless. Idly regular”. Maudes, robbed of tb- pulsing language of the bluah? Not yet; not yet!

The (Scot glim Is disposed to coincide most heartily with the editorial suggestion In Saturday's Constitution for the selection of Oeorgo Foster Feabody to the chan- cvllorshlp of *b* StHte University. The editor of the Constitution Is a truatee of that Institution, and wo suppose that the editorial of Satur day Is based upon. Inside Information and ean be seri ously considered. Tho Georgian Is strongly committed to tho propo sition that wherever It be possible the executive positions of great educational Institutions ought to be filled by professional educators, and that wherever It can be done the chief places In our own educational Institutions should be filled by promotion from the ranks of the teach ers who have done faithful and effective work In the subordinate places of education. To this general prin ciple we resolutely adhere, because we believe that along the lines of this policy will bo found the highest possible, encouragement and Inspiration to the teach ers of the state. We favor It also because we deem It ai Incongruous to put a politician or a preacher Into the presidency of a university aa to transfer a teacher Into the pulpit or to the presidency of a bank. But the conditions which surround Mr. Peabody are so large and so promising that we can, for the time being, at least, subordinate the policy which we have expressed toward the teachers of the state. Mr. Peabody baa been for ten years past a conse crated and devoted friend and student of education. Hla sympathies and his tabors have mado of him In expe rience almost a teacher himself, and his close and Inti mate contact with the late beloved chancellor of the university fits him pre-eminently to carry out and enlarge the policies and the mission of that great nnd lamented cltixen. • Beyond this, and of .especial significance, Mr. Pea body Is a man of affairs, with a large hold upon tho con fidence and the ear of the wealth of the country, and these are conditions of supreme Importance at thla time of the university of the state. What the university needs ta equipment, enlarge ment, the amplifying of Ita scope and the solidity of Its financial relations. Outside of the Vanderbilt Univer sity there is not an Institution south of the Potomac river which Is sufficiently equipped to keep at home the son* of the South, who have found If necessary to finish and complete their education In northern universities. If, at thla critical and eventful time, we could In duce a great and wealthy man of affairs like Mr. Pea body, who I* himself a man of the broadest culture and an educator at practical experience, to assume the chan cellorshlp of tne university, the state might safely hope that, through hta Influence and hla connections, the affairs of the university might speedily be put upon that large and ample foundation of convenience and equip ment which would establish It In the rroot rank of Southern institutions of learning. For these reasons we cordially endorse the sugges tion of our neighbor across the way, and unleu some reason not'now foreseen should develop to change this opinion we shall be glad to cooperate In ovary way to tho consummation of this moat admirable and Inspiring arrangement. gTW pupil—t—^W their professional life, than to point their example to the emulation of young men of the state who will adopt a reputable and useful profession and follow it with Intelligence and with unflagging industry General Weylcr Is now Indulging, perhaps. In some reflections on the whirligig of time. The Peachtree Pavement. There Is general satisfaction over tho announcement that a new pavement for Peachtree street la now prac tically an assured fact. This question has been vexing the mind of the gen eral public for a long time. Repeatedly the great can tral thoroughfare had been In such condition that It was necessary to natch It up—repairs which wero always secured only after persistent efforts. But at last the residents along the street and the citizens of Atlanta In general realised that the original pavement bad liter ally worn out, and there waa no economy In attempting to tinker with It any longer. A movomout was then set on foot to secura a new pavement entirely. This, too, has required long and per slstent effort, but wo are now Informed that a majority of the abutting property owners along Peachtree are anxious to have tho new pavement put down and have signified their £oslre to council. > So It seems Certain that the work of laying a now pavement will begin within a short time. * Tbla Is as It should he. There are few cities. North or 8outb, that can boast of ao magnificent a thorough fare, and we would be much to blame If we allowed It to continue longer In the conaitlon It has been tor several years. The entire community feel* gratified that this Im portant step 1* about to ha taken and It Is hoped that the work will be ruahed to a quick and efficient condu slou. Two Atlanta Young Men. The ample announcement of the N. P. Pratt Labora tory to today's Issue euggests the rapid and successful way In which tha young men of Atlanta and of Georgia are forging their way to the front of Industrial develop ment In the South. The two young men who compose thla firm are son* of tha famous Dr. N. A. Pratt, the moat noted chemist pt hla day In t!)* South, tha developer of the phosphate beds of South Carolina and of Florida, and a man of genius and affair*. The young son* of Dr. Pratt, without exception, followed In the professional footstep* of their father, and have never varied or turned from the Inten tion lo work out for themselves and for the state In which they live a destiny along the lines of their father's profession. Beginning from the ground floor of effort and of Information, with or without a college education, and most of them without this advantage, the sons of N. A. Pratt have far, tea year* past tyen recognized as es sential factors In all matters chemical and Industrial In Atlanta and In the etat*. The N. P. Pratt Laboratory started by N. P. Pratt and Oeorge L. Pratt la now one of the Brat Institutions of tu kind In the South. Ita chamleal department la standard and Its engineering department exploited In The Georgian today 1* growing steadily Into the same relative position among tha scientific Industries of the South. K. P. Pratt and George L. Pratt have amassed both wealth and Influential position by the steady consecration of their efforts along these lines, and are recognised among the foremost business forces of the city. They art both Intensely Interested and Arm believer* In tb* future of thla section, and It Is simply a matter of logic to say that there -ue always certain rewards to capable men who do succeed In doing things In connection with the amaxlng progress the South I* making. The lesson of such lives is obvious and the moral scarcely need* to be pointed along the high and standard lines of concentration, character and Industry to the young men of the state- It la the purpoee of these brief lines not mar* to opagratalate tb* Pratt Broth- Mr. Wilmer and the Revivalists. We publish on this page today a communication from Rev. C. H. Wilmer growing out ot some of the criticisms which have been made by ministers and lay men upon the Torrey revival during the course of Its continuance in this city. Mr. Wilmer writes interestingly always, and his letter of today is in his clearest and hgpplMt vdtt. The Georgian has no comment to make : rff%.lt In a controversial way. We bare no desire to split doctrinal hairs or to discuss theological topics with ooe whose busi ness and whose pleasure It Is to become expert among these themes. Wo give Mr. Wilmer free course to be magnified In our columns, and reserve for ourselret a single state ment of fact as to our own position. If we have ever been sincere and well meaning In our lives we have endeavored to be so la reference to this revival of religion under the auspices of the earnest business men of Atlanta. With a layman's full sense of the meaning and Importance of this movement we hare bad but one single Idea In connection, and that lo give whatever force and influence this paper might wield to the suc cess of the central Idea of the revival—the quickening of conscience and the saving of souls. In the old fashioned religion to which we have been reared, we were taught to believe that the gospel was the good nows of salvation, which when received, estab lished not less tho brotherhood of man than the Father hood of God. The clash of doctrines and the wrangling of warring creeds and constructions have never Interferd with the serenity and the happiness of this conception, and wo had somehow and somewhere derived the Idea that controversies and doubtful disputations hindered rather than helped the free course of religion In the minds of men. It may be the dullness of our minds, or the narrowness of our experience, but we honestly did not recall a great revival that had proxpered upon controversial wrangles or upon doctrinai duels between Christian leader*. Mr. Wilmer la a great and good minister of the gos pel, nnd we are among the very humblest and unwor- thlest of Its unfaithful followers, but we cannot get out of our minds thnt It is a gospel of love and peace and fra ternity. and we hare heard higher and better disciples than we arc at least, declare that the strife And Intoler ance of Christian teachers discredited this gospel In the eye nnd car of the worldlings, and that the noisy dis cord of doctrines -was' poor food to feed to sinners seek ing salvation, and trembling upon the verge of acceptance or rejection. ' Wc had somehow thought that If men—good men— had criticisms to offer and corrections to make, they might well nfford to wait until after the great question of accepting or rejecting Christ waa settled, and then In the quiet aftermath, they might lead their flock Into the general doctrinal paths that seemed straight, and Impress the disputed creeds In which they believed. Mr. Wilmer must pardon us, If we continue to dis sent from the view that any man (preacher or layman) Is under obligations to project his personal convictions, however honest. Into an effort to lead men along broad and accepted linos to a better life. When men aro -being besought to “repent nnd be nal Joy. whether tftdr'Aw U> reich sthntfon by one man** route or another man's route. The essential thing Is to get there, and we take it for granted that all soul savers ought to be glad that a soul is saved by any route. And I we have never yet ln-ard an orthodox Christian who did not recognize the “repent and be saved route as stand ard. Mark you, we do not level this as a criticism against Mr. Wilmer. Far from it We are merely giving the ijoint of view, crude and uninspired as it is, which has moved us in the treatment of -the Torrey revival. We were the first voice to be lifted gently and reverently against the great revivalist himself when he seemed to bo diverging Into the arena of controversy, and in the same spirit of respect we took the liberty to present our view to Mr. Wilmer. We make bold to express one more opinion in con clusion. The world is not going to be saved by the hair splitting t^tTjries of wrangling doctrinaires. If God is true and real, then love and faith, and fellow ship and kindness will continue to be the master forces of the world, andtjhe onfy* reliable guide posts to eter- * } V » ■ —■ ■ ■ - -juAMb For the Public Comfort. We publish today a communication from Mr. J. G. Rossman on the necessity for purchasing one or more sites In the.central part of the city for small parks be fore the price of real estate advances further. He also argues strongly for tpe establishment of public comforts In one of these central locations for the benefit of visitors to the city, as well as for the general public. Mr. Rossman Is a man of affairs and of advanced Ideas. More than once he has made suggestions for the good of the public which have made a deep Impres sion upon the minds of thinking people. None of them has been more timely than the suggestions be now makes for the public welfare and we believe that they should be given earnest consideration. There Is certainly a crying need for some such small parks or open .areas as he describes. It Is true that land In the central part of the city Is now held at fancy figures, and at first sight It may seem to be prohibitive. But we must reflect how much more valua ble this property will be In the next ten or even five years. We have our larger parka for recreation and amuse ment, where Jaded humanity may go for a pleasant evening or a restful Sunday. But no provision Is uade for the down-towu shopper or the thousands of visitors who come to Atlanta every year and have no time to get out of the heart of the city. Ona or more of these little oases In the heart of our busy centers would be a veritable God-send to the people we bavo mentioned. To fit up such areas with the public comforts pro-, posed would bo one of the wisest and most Important de mands of health and would obviate a vast amount of suf fering on the part of the public, and particularly of vis-. Itors of both sexes who are here only for a day. Such conveniences are now suppllad by all the most progressive cities of the middle west, while every one who has been abroad bears hearty testimony to tho common sense and wholesome foresight which mako such provisions In tho great cities of the continent It Is a subject which no ono should overlook, and if wo aro to take the lead among twentieth century cities during tho next decade we must begin |hU work before property values in tho central portion of the city aro Indeed prohibitive. > Editor The Atlanta Q.orglan: In your Issue o{ the 25th Instant under the caption, "Dr. Hawthorne on Dr. Torrey," you say. “We trust that Dr. Sanborne and Dr. Wilmer and Dr. Bridewell will find no occasion to vole* another crltlcsm during this last closing week. • • • Under these con ditions, every Instinct and all reaaon would suggest' either hand, o(t or hands In hands for the Gospel cause." If, by the words "find no occasion to voice another criticism,” you mean only that you hope that nothing will be said or done at the meeting now In progress that will furnish any basis for Just crltlcsm, you express a hop* In which all good men must Join; but If you mean, as apparently you do mean, that clergymen should refrain from crltclalng anything, whether Just ly liable to criticism or not, on the ground that "the time Is short; the revival Is at Its height; the Interest la Intense; many strong and sensible cit izens claim to have found a blessing In the closing days, - you raise ques tions ot great Importance to the com munity. 1 beg to urg* two points on your calm and Judicial consideration. First, you utterly Ignore the tact that every clergymen In Atlanta Is un der moet solemn pledge to Almighty Gad and hi* own church to give his people Instruction, according to the teaching of his church and his own best understanding of the word of God on the subject of man’* spiritual and eternal welfare. This responsibility con not be act aside In favor of the teaching of any one clergyman tem porarily In our midst, or permanent- Iv. for that matter; and still leas can be set aside at the suggestion ot a secular newspaper. Tou would, doubl es*. repel dmu'" _ . th**thought that the pulpit uld restrict the Just liberty of the ugtv ________ __s Jul. . press. By the same token. I would suggest the Impropriety of the press' undertaking, on any pretext whatever, to "gag” the pulpit. Tou will doubtless aay In reply that „ju are not exercising censorship, but making an appeal to "Instinct and rea son." Allow me. then, to remind you that. In a former editorial, bearing on this tame subject, you asked for a ces sation of criticism on the ground that “tha old-fashioned gospel" la being preached. But this waa a purely dog matic utterance, aiming, without on* scintilla of proof, to put those who may have and express soma other concep tion of the "gospel". Into the odious position of opposing the salvation of souls. That Is religious tyranny of the wont sort. Secondly, you make It neeeeasry to reassert and maintain, on the thresh old of the twentieth century, what ought, by this time, to be taken for granted as an axiom by all thinking people, via: that nothing can be safe ly withdrawn from serious criticism, and the mar* Important the subject, the more true U thla The appeal of the Great Teacher was to the Intelli gence, the spiritual discernment and practical sesse ot men. not to blind credulity. HI* conception of saving men was establishing tha kingdom within them, getting them to love goodness, and think truth with their, own minds and will the highest. At ] the very foundation of Jeaus’ dealing, with men lies His respect for their j personalities. He taught us to call > no man fatbar and not to permit our selves to bo called master.

It Is alien to the spirit of Christ to nsk for any human being a kind nnd degrea of loy alty that He repudiated for Himself. The manner In which epithets are sub stltutod for argument by many rcllg lous teachers shows the pernicious re sult of the plea for exemption from criticism. Why should any man ask to be ex empt from criticism any way? Is It not by criticism that all Improvement comes? There are magazines that of fer prizes for criticisms that shall enable them to make Improvements. Haa any human being got the gospel down to fine thnt nobody can say anything on the subject worth hit while to hear?

I submit that while the fact that one |s both trying to do gqod.-nnd Is. In some measure, suc- . cetllniiWMitranta exemption from cap tious critTWiti. unessential crltlcsm.

It not to brimstone, at least, to moral nnd spir itual ruin, thoughtless criticism, crit icism that does not go to the root of the matter or touch some essential, or. at least. Important principle, would beSvofthy of all condemnation. I am thoroughly at one with you on that, which I take to be the real controlling thought In your mind on this matter. But suppose, to continue the Illustra tion above employed, that I, too, am In the business of trying to get peo ple out ot the waters of moral and spiritual ruin, and am convinced that some things done will actually result In drowning some people. Instead of saving them, am J to keep quiet at the dictation of a bystander, who know* nothing of the subject? Or suppose that cholera la raging In our beloved city. There are different schools of thought, and grave difference* of opinion os to what curative methods are beat. There are Christian Scient ists, Homeopaths, Osteopaths, Regu lars. not to mention other* In the field, all sincere and having the asm* object In view, the cur* of thy disease— whether It be conceived to exist In the body or only In "mortal mind." Sup pose. now, that all the practicers of the healing art, no matter which of these schools of thought tfiey represent, should be called on tu stand back and give up the field for one month to one man, when they conscientiously believe that of the medicine used or method* employed while doing good here and there, are, to other persons, actually baneful? Is that a legitimate demand to be made upon any physician. clatty by one not himself a physician? I repeat that no captious crith should b. that no captious 'criticisms be employed. The man who, Ip such serious situation, should under take to arouse resentment against any one doing earnest work by making fun of his clothes, for example, or criticiz ing his manner, or any unessential ele ment In the man’s makeup or methods, would bo Justly regarded as lacking In a propor sense of the Importance of health, as well as of the serious re sponsibility that attaches to thinking and speaking. But when serious ques tions are raised by personH whose life "■ork It In t.. g. t nt the truth In such matters, os to the truth and effect of certain remedies, it Is wrong to assume the very point under discussion and cut off thought nnd Investigation. That Is as true of religion as of medicine. Nor can I see where tho harm Is going to come from full and fair discussion of religious themes at this time. Nay,. 1 submit, that tho more Intcnso the feeling that Is aroused, the more Impor tant It Is that clear thinking and truth should be kept well to tha front. If any one will carefully study the story given In Luke xlv: 26-33, of how Christ dealt with a crowd that was under the most Intense feeling apparently, and full of enthusiasm for Him, 1 think he will not fall to understand my point— STOP AND THINK! was the burden of Hla message to the multitude at that psychological moment. expressed, but to Justify the right of Jnst anil responsible criticism In prin ciple. I would, however, to mako my point clear os to the difference between criticism and criticism, remind you that I have challenged the two propo sitions that a man’s natural goodness has nothing to do with his salvation, and that salvation la an Inatantaneoua occurrence.
