WONDERFUL CHOICE
OF ANGLO-SAXON
Great Ministers Pay Trib
ute to Power of Gyp-
hv Preacher.
"Oypfy" Smith, wlm cum** to At
l*nt* nnt March at the luvltatlon of
Dr. Len G. Broughton, la conaldered by
the Federated Kree'churchea of Eng
land aa their foreinont evangellat.
Ba la not a freak or a actuation-
monger. A great London dally aald
«f him that hla apeerh waa one of the
ftnert expoaltlona of the poaalbllltlea
of Anglo-Saxon extant ainee John
Bright ceaaed to speak. Hla aermon-
lalnar haa power, beauty, dignity and
force.
“Gypsy" Smith bespeaks hla origin.
He waa born of gypsy parents In a tent
and roved the country In true gypsy
style until he was 17 yeara of age. Then
he fell under the Influence of Ira D.
Sanke.v, who shed the light Into the
aoul of the gypsy lad.
At once' lie followed General Booth,
of the 8alratlon Army, Into the squalor,
the poverty, the misery of East London
slums, where his consecration and lore
for the lowly won for him the esteem
For the non-delivery of two mes

CAUSE TWO SUITS
AGAINST COMPANY
Inn.,
Educated Him,,If.
Here he began educating himself,
taking four-week couraes In a Cam-
bridge school. Men began to marvel at
his powar. and to study It, After all It
la simple. He follows no hide-bound
creed, but out of Ills own full expe
rlsnce haa coma very near to Him ha
servet Hla appeal Is straight to the
conscience and heart, and he never falls
to reach hla audiences. >
Not long ago he caine to tide coun
try, and hla appeals to heart and con
science reach audlecnex lure us
quickly as they did In England. Some
of the greatest ministers in this coun
try pay willing tribute to thle man’s
beauty of life and doctrine. Rev. 8.
Parkes Cadman says of him, In the Lit
erary Digest:
"He came fragrant from the woode
and the riverside, with the Inspiration
of his rich experiences of the gospel
slid his love for hie fellowe Informing
every word and action He entered the
foulest haunts of our graat cities, and
God gave him euch a charisma as en
abled him to pluck the prey from th»
teeth of the mighty.
"But beyond any native and acquired
gifts Is the evident preeence In the man
..r the superior life of God In Christ
Jesus. This common sourco of all our
higher energies took shape atuluee In
him a* an evalnegllst, an arnese,
tense, transparent, and overwhelming
messenger of God to men about the pri
mal concents. His work reminds you
In some of Its salient features of Mr.
Moody's flrat mission In Britain, when
the Scotch initverettlee and the slums
of cities alike rendered tribute to the
kingdom. He haa wisely abstained
from dogmatising about theological le-
sues and controverted points. The cen
ter of faith for him le not a crded nor
a book, but n Person and a Life."
Gift of Persuasion.
Even more direct aa to hla power*
of persuasion Is the tribute of Dr.
Newell Dwight Hlllls. pastor of Ply
mouth church. Brooklyn, who says
among other things:
"To h|s simplicity of style he adds n
marvelous gift of i>ersuaalou. If there
had been a thousand non-Chrlatlaii
man present, I think Smith would have
lifted Slid of them to their feet. 1
hope the pit's- of the country will not
make 'lie mistake of saying Hint
Gypsy Smith Is not n strong man. The
lest of a sermon Is. 'Does It do the
tiling needed?' Gypsy Smith la moat
lovable, and every drop of blood In
his veins Is sincere. Tie can do for
Ihe working iieople of this country
and the unchurched classes what
Moody did for hie generation,
ought to be ihept here live years."
Showing the conservatism of
methods. Gnisy Smith tells how
does hi* work;
"I have no after-meetings. My first
meeting la my last. The service Is one,
from the opening hymn to llie benedic
tion. When the sermon Is over, I ask
for silent prayer for a few moments,
and at the same time I request thoae
who hove been Impre-swl and who de
sire to live a new life to rise and lift
their hands, and then to quietly resume
their seats. This plan lias the advan
tage of leading doubters to commit
themselves. The mere feet that a man
lias risen and held up Ida hand I
many a one the derisive stop. The
move to tha Inquiry room follows nat
urally I then ask the anxious to puss
Into the luqulry room, my workers
leading the way. I myself do not leave
the platform or pulpit until the whole
service Is over. I make It a rule not
to apeak personally to ths Inquirers,
and for five reasons: First, when I
hare brought a man or woman so
far, I wish to retlra Into the back
ground. I do not want them tu de
pend on ine nr to see me any more.

who had juet left the Tabernacle Hos

posure, leaving him In vary bad health
after seven months of confinement to

sued for $600 doctors' bills.
In the other suit Cl. W. Seller sues
for $5,000 damages for the non-deliv

death of and requesting his brother-in-

Will Ask Name of Writer
at Meeting on Wed-
/ nesdav.
The board of water commissioners
will Wednesday afternoon demand of
The Georgian the name of the person
who, on November 2, wrote a card at
tacking the waterworks department.
Park Woodward, general manager of
the waterworks, will produce the card
published In The Georgian and will
probably answer It.
There are u number of statements In
the card which lutve aroused the wa
ter commissioners and the manage
ment. Jt I* signed "Citlaen and Con
sumer." Following are a few excerpts,
which are particularly objectionable to
those to whom the thrusts are direct
ed:
‘Your puiier on yesterday afternoon
contained a vary full and complete ar
tide showing the profits of the water
works system of this dty. It was a
most gratifying report and one which
every citlaen of Atlanta would feet sat
isfied with If It were not for a popular
opinion -on the part of many water
consumers that the meters are. Improp-
prty read, and that rimsumers are
charged unfair and exorbitant prices,
not based on tile water they consume,
but based on a disposition on the part
of those In charge of the management
of the department to show large earn
Ings.”
Are the majority of people In At
lanta eutisfled with the prices that are
charged them for water? I do not mean
the price per thousand gallons, for this
Is placed at a moderate rate, but about
the reading of the meters?"
"II Is my Impression that if you open
your columns and ask for expressions
on thin subject, promising not to pub
lish or divulge names of those com
plaining, It will be a surprise to you to
tnow how many people In this city be
lieve they are unfairly dealt with as to
the amount of water they consume
'•When they complain to the proper
authorities, are these matters rectified?
Are they satisfied?"
The meter readers especially are an
gry, as thoy assert that the card Is, In
effect, a ehargo that they read the me
ters Improperly, thereby robbing the
people, Just to show large earnings
for .the waterworks. They say there
could -be no possible reason for their
doing this, even If they had the Incli
nation. . „
The commissioners will meet at 3
block Wednesday afternoon. This
III be the principal business before
the body.
