TIIE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 7. 1W. 4 G YPS Y’ SMITH, FOREMOST EVANGEL/SI OF HIS TIME, WILL CQME 70 ATLANTA From Romany, Camp to Salvation Army. WONDERFUL CHOICE OF ANGLO-SAXON Great Ministers Pay Trib ute to Power of Gyp sy Preacher. "Gypsy** Hmltli, who come* to At lanta next March at the invitation of Dr. Len G. Broughton, is considered by the Federated Free Churches of Eng land as their foremost evangelist. He is not a freak or a sensation- monger. A great London daily said of him that Ills sjieecli was one of the finest expositions of the possibilities of Anglo-Saxon extant since John Bright ceased to speak. Ills sermon ising has power, beauty, dignity and * force. "Gypsy" Hmltli bespeaks his origin. He was born of gypsy parents in a tent and roved the country In true gypsy style until lie was 17 years of age. Then he fell under the influence or Ira l>. Hankey. who shed the light into the soul of the gypsy lad. At once he followed General Booth. of the Hat vat Ion Army, into the squalor, the poverty, the misery of East London slums, where Ills consecration and love for the lowly won for him the esteem and confidence of not only the slum In habitants. hut of the great men of Eng land. Educated Himself. Here he l>egaii educating himself, taking four* week-courses In a Fain- bridge school. Men began to marvel at his power, and t«» study it. After all It Is simple. lie follows no hlde-boillld creed, but out of Ids own full expe rience has come very neur to Him lie serve.* Iks appeal Is straight to the conscience and heart, and he never falls to reach his audiences. Not long ago he came to this coun try, and his upiwals to heart and con science- reach aiidlecncs here quickly as they did in England. «*f the greatest ministers In tills coun try pay willing tribute to this man's beauty of life and doctrine. Rev. H. Parke* ('adman says of him, In the Lit erary Digest: % "lie came frag'-ant from the woods ami the riverside, with the Inspiration of his rich experiences of the gospel ami Ids love for his fellows Informing every word and action He entered the foulest haunts of our great cities, and Clod gave hint such a charisma an en abled him to pluck the prey from the teeth of the mighty. "But beyond any native upd acquired gifts Is the evident presence In tb** man of the superior life of God In Christ Jesus. This common source of (ill nur higher energies took shape and use 1n him a* an evaltiegllst. an artless, In- ftilse, transparent, ami overwhelming messenger of Clod to men about the pri mal concerns. His work reminds you In some of it-* salient features of Mr. Moody's lit *? ' don In Britain, when the Hcotch rrattles and the slums of cities Milk-- ('■•littered tribute to the kingdom, lie has wisely abstained from dogmatizing about theological ls< sues and controverted points. The cen ter of faith for him Is not a creed nor g hook, but a Person and a Life." Gift of Persuasion. Even more direct as to his powers of persuasion Is the tribute of Dr. “GYPSY" SMITH. CAUSE TWO SUITS >T- For tlie non-delivery of two mes sages, three suits aggregating *10,600 were filed Wednesday against the Western Union Telegraph Company. In one of them Brmvn P. McGehee asks judgment for $5,000 becuuse s telegram to his father at Waverly Hall, Ga., was not delivered. The jietltloner, who had Just left tile Tabernacle Hos pital, was not tnet at the train and suf fered a relapse from the resulting ex posure, leaving Jilin In very bud health after seven months of confinement to his bed. His father, J. L. McGehee, sued f«»r $600 doctors’ hills. in the other suit G. W. Metier sues for $5,000 damages for the non-deliv ery of a telegram from Atlanta to Flowery Branch, Oh., announcing the death of and requesting his brother-in- law, Hiwske Jones, to have dug a grave for the little daughter of the petitioner. Home! The grave was not dug In time and the petitioner suffered great embarrass ment on account of the deluy. Madison Hell Is the attorney ill all three suits. Newell Dwight 1 Hills, pastor of Ply mouth church. Brooklyn, who says among other things: “To his simplicity of style he adds a marvelous gift of persuasion. If there had been a thousand non-t’hrl»tlun men present. I think Hmltli would have lifted SOft of them to their feet. 1 hope the press of the country will not make the mistake of saying that Gypsy Smith is not a strong man. The teat of a sermon Is. ‘Does It do the thing needed7* Gypsy Smith Is most lovable, apd every drop of blood In hla veins is sincere. He can do for the working people of this country and the unchurched cIassch what Moody did for. his generation. Ih ought to be kept here* five years." Showing the conservatism of his methods, Gypsy Smith tells how he does hU work: "I lmve no after-meeting*. My first meeting Is my last, yhe service Is one, from the opening hymn to the benedic- lion. When the sermon is over, I ask for silent prayer for a few moments, and atftihe same time I request those who have been Impressed and who de sire to live u new life to rise and lift their hands, and then t<> quietly resume their seats. This plan has the advan tage of leading doubter* to commit themselves. The mere fact that a man has risen and held up his hand Is for many a one the decisive step. The move to the Inquiry room follows nat urally I then ask the anxious to pass Into the inquiry 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 speak personally to the Inquirers, and for five reasons: First, when 1 have brought a man «»r woman so far, I wish to retire Into the back ground. I do not want them to de pend on me or to see.me any more. The personal clement must as quickly as possible be eliminated. Then, again. If 1 were to deal with individuals. I should be obliged to leave out some at least among the score* or hundreds who would desire to speak to me. Thl would have a very bad effect from every point of view. A third reason Is that ray entrance might cause a little commotion, and undo the good work which was going on. It would not be fair to the ministers and other helpers that their solemn dealing should be in. terrupted. Last of all, there is no need for me in ilia inquiry room. When man is anxious to know his Lord. he is like a drowning straggler, glad to grasp at any hand that will help him Experience has taught me these les sons.” Atlanta will be glad to hear this won derful man. and when he comes here to the Baptist tabernacle next March groat audiences are certain to greet him.

The board of water commissioners will Wednesday nfUrnoon demand of The Georgian the name of the peraon who, on November 2, wrote a card at tacklmt the waterworks department. Park Woodward, general manager of the waterworks will produce the card published In The Georgian and will probably anawer It. There are a number of statements In the curd which have arouaed the wa ter commlealonere and the manage ment. It la Signed "Cltlsen and Con- RUmer.” Following a're' a few excerpts, which are particularly objectionable to thoae to whom the thruata are direct- edb your paper on yeaterday afternoon contained n very full and complete ar ticle allowing the profit* of the water- worka system of tide city. It was a most gratifying report and one which every cltiaen of Atlanta would feel sat isfied with If It were not for a popular opinion on the part of many water consumers tliHt the meters are Improp erly read, und that consumers are charged unfair and exptbltant prices, not based on the wutei* they consume, but bused on a disposition on the part of those In charge of the management of (lie department to show large earn ings." "Are the mujorlty of people In At* luma satisfied with the prices that are charged them for water? 1 do not mean the price per thousand gallons, fur this is placed at a moderate rate, but about the reading of the meters?" “It Is my Impression that If you open .our columns and ask for expressions on litis subject, promising not to pub lish or divulge names of those com- ilulnlng, It will be a surprise to you to know how many people In this city be. llevegUiey are unfairly dealt with as to the umount of water they consuino "When they complain to the proper authorities, are these matters reclined? Are they satlsned?” The meter readers especially are an gry. as they assert that the card Is, In pfffcct, a charge that they read the me ters improfierly, thereby robbing the iieoplo. 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 Inch- nation. The commissioners will meet at 3 ..clock Wednesday afternoon. Tills will be Hie principal business before I he body.
