FATHER GUNN TALKS
Tl
TO LARGE AUDIENCE
Rev. Father John E. Gunn delivered
the first of a series of lectures on the
trouble in France between the church
and state Sunday morning In the Sa
cred Heart church at high moss.
The article written by Father Gunn
for The Georgian, In which the mntter
was fully discussed, aroused consider
able interest In the subject and as a
result it was to a larga congregation
that the gifted and eloquent Catholic
scholar spoke Sunday.
Beginning with the making of the
concordat—the treaty between Franco
and the Vatican by Napoleon—Father
Gunn discussed the articles of this
measure and pointed out the errors In
the reports sent out from France to the
newspapers. He called attention to the
fact that the Mute had u Hi1bsldl7.fi
press and that the Vatican hod no such
channel of publicity In which to scat
ter Its side of the question to the people
of the civilized world. For this reason
he urged his hearers to be slow In ac
cepting the reports sent out from
France, but to wait and hear the other
side.
Father Gunn pointed out five errors
about five essential factors In the mis
understanding. He named these ns fol
lows: The concordat, tho separation
law*, the parish associations fenturc,
the authority of France and tho proba
ble Issue of It all.
Then he discussed each feature In
Itself, reciting the history of each, and
went Into every detail In an interesting
manner.
Owing to the breadth o'f the subject
and the necessity of going Into It In de
tail. the lectures will be continued by
Father Gunn for several Sundays.
THE PRODIGAL SON,
SUBJECT OF SERMON
"The Prodigal Bon" was the subject
of a sermon by Dr. Broughton Hundav
night, which tvas one of the strongest
and most forceful ever heard In Atlan
ta. Dr. Broughton took his text from
Luke xv.. 11-12.
Dr. Rroughton stated that what In
his mind caused so much failure on the
part of young men Is a false conception
of life. This, he said. Is shown, tlm..
by the “crazy disposition on their part
to get auav from home and home In
fluences;” second, "the extravagant
manner In which young men spend
what they get:" third, "this false Idea
of life is shown In the exhibition of
their Impudent dependence."

EXTRA CLERKS EMPLOVkD
TO MOVE CHRISTMAS "BOOZE.'
Special to Tin* Georgian.
Spartanburg, S. C\. Dec. 17.—Al
though Hpartunburg Is a prohibition
county, the dispensary having been
voted out more than a year ago, there is
plenty of booze to be had Hnd there will
be more than enough to go m ound dur
ing ;. holidays. Whisky Is being shipped
into this city by express at the ruts ot
250 gallons per day. On last Friday
317 gallons of whisky were handled m
the express office.
j The fug lm*lnr>* at the express of-
1 flee has Increased so rapidly during the

Washlrgton, Dec. 17.—Congressman
John A. Moon, representing the Third
Tennessee district, will ber named as
tho new member of the rivers and har
bor committee.
Thut this will be the result of the re
cent effort on the part of the Georgia
delegation to secure one of their <
number as successor to tho vacancy
on the committee caused by the death
of Congressman Lester Is certain.
Minority Leader John Sharp Wil
liams had . fixed _ upon Congressman
Small for the place, but the North
Carolina congressman Is not acceptable
to Kf»eaker Cannon, whose dictum Is
final in such matters.
Congressman Moon's appointment Is
depenaent upon his acceptance of the
place. It was tendered him unofficial y
last week, but he did not then signify
his Intentions ns regards It. It Is Im
probable, however, that he will de
cline a committeeship, so eagerly sought
by all of the states.
In the sixtieth congress another va
cancy on this committee will be created
by the retirement of Congressman
John H. Bankhead, of Alabama. Tho
Democrats have centered on Congress
man John L. Burnett, of Alabama, for
this vacancy, and It is pretty sure fl.at
he will be the man.
Advocates of owning the Coosa riv
er to the gulf will rejoice In the pros,
pi ct of getting Congressman Burnett
on the committee, as Ids district lies
along this Important stream, nml he Is
an ardent advocate of Coosa river Im
provement.
Atlanta ministers have
been invited to witness the
great moral play at the Eldo
