iribution of
T *ln w-'- All the ser
w. j attended, and the
. h thronged.
.; .Me Episcopalian churches the ser
vices were equally as impressive, al
though of course attended with less of the
ceremonial. Rt. Rev. Bishop Beckwith
preached at Christ C’hurcn in the morn
ing and administered the rite of confirma
tion to a class of twenty-five persons. The
interior ot the church and the altar were
decorated with palm*. The Bishop took
for bis text Hebrew iv., 13: “But was iu
all points tempted like as ire are, yet
without sin.”
Our Lord, he said, broke the thirty years
of silence th it preceded the three years of
active life that lie devoted to His mission
ol redeeming the world but once, ar.d
that wa3 when lie was 12 years old
and lingered in the temple after His
parents had departed for home. lie then
answered his mother’s reproval with the
w ords, “Wist ye not that l must be about
! my Father’s business?” Looking at liim
from bis human side, ibo question here
I prop unded, said the Bishop, shows that
| even when a child He knew that He had a
mission, apd that impression must have
• made Hint thonghttulchild. The passage
in the Scriptures that states that He grew
in wisdom shows that when a child lie
did not fully comprehend His mission.
During His childhood Juilea was con
quered and made a province of the Re
man Empire, and this had a great influ
ence in llis life, for it was the cause of the
Jews not comprehending His mission. The
Jews were at that time looking for
a deliverer, and the tyranny from which
they suffered made them believe that the
deliverer would take the Jewish sceptre,
overthrow the Romans and establish h’a
kingdom on tne wreck of Roman power. At
| such a time as this there appeared on the
hanks v>t the Jordan a strange, weird man
! of the desert who made the announce
ment that the Kingdom of Heaven was at
uand, and the rumor spread that a pro
phet had arisen and Israel was about to
be delivered. It might be that Christ now
recognized the tact that His time had
come. To those who wended their way to
j the banks of the Jordan He was
i! ut one of the many, but when
lie heaid the prophet. He realiz-sl ihat
He announced llis coining and His King
: doui. His uoing was the act of humanity,
i He knew the -Tews would receive Him it
Ho said His kingdom was of the world;
that tuey would r>-j--et Him if lie said He
{ was the' King of I’eace. When tie stood
| be! -re the wild m in of the desert for bap
, tisoi. it was as thou ;b a * pirit had passed
: before John, and overcome with awe, he
said, “I have need to be baptized of Him.
i and not Him of me.” The baptism of
Jesus and the descending of the spirit
'■ upon Him was the beginning of llis work,
I and now, said the B shop, we are told that
the sp rit carried Him Into the desert and
there the spirit* of good and evil nut, and
i the eont* st decided the future of the hu
j man race. Jesus, a perfect man, was
: tempted. Could a perfect man be tempt
! eti * Remember, he went oil, lam going
| to speak ol hni a* a man. n t because I
; do not believe that he was very good, for
, l believe it v. ith every fibre of my nature,
• but eou’.d a p rfeet min sin? God toinf
: times tempts to try. but when Satin
{ tempts it is to dreeive. A temptation
■ may he one thing, its inducement another:
Ia t.-mpt uion may lie offered with regard
i lo its iff.-cts, and it was thus Christ was
I tempted.
The reverend sneaker then defined and
! illustrated the different kinds of tempta
| tion to which Christ was subject, " hen
| hungry and asked to turn the stones into
I bread, when in the pinnacle of the temple
anti asked to east himself down that the
people might see that he was the son of
< i; n!. and when offered universal empire,
i t mtinuing, he said that to have
accepted the temptation in either
case would have been to sin,
but could be sin? Temptation is from
within or without. From within it comes
j from evil desires, and this could not have
I been Christ’s temptation. llis tempta
tion was from wabout, id a pare person
mav te tempted even when the tempta
; tion is repugnant to tuem; but, he asked,
could Christ sill? A perfect miu could
not sin: but I trust you will not i>e
shocked, he went on to say. when 1 say to
vou if He bad not the power to sin He
could n>t have the power to l>e perfect,
•■in is a transgression of the law. and
transgression ta going beyond the limits
of the law and niut be an act of a free
will, and it the will is not free how can a
nan be perfect? If a man is not able
to indu go in sin how c>n he will to
retrain from it. If the Lord had not the
power to do wrong He had not the power
to do right, and the man who cannot do
wrong deserves no credit for doing right.
The will is simply the power to refuse.
Tne power to do good Includes the power
to do evil, and it is oi lv of such a man it
can be said he is perfect. _ 1 know of no
sadder thought than the idea that the
Lord had to suffer for the sins of Ike
world liec ause lie could not avoid it. A
man with a will doing that which he did
not will! But if he Is free and voluntari
ly made the will of God the rule o! his
life and fo.lowed that will, never swerv
ing, then his life is a wonder and a glory:
and when you te’.l me of a human will
and a just life given for me then I begin
to feel that I am getting a little
nearer God. He did all this abundantly, bo
showed us how to live anu taught us bow
to die. This sacr.fice is furnished by one
who thought G<xl and man, yet his human
nature is for us; that you may know It >w
he suffered, and know that he can sympa
thize with you. Then the cross becomes
eloquent in its appeal to the manhood of
manly men.
Bishop Beckwith closed his sermon with
■•m eloquent appeal to his congregation to
follow in the footsteps of Christ. The
church was crowded, and the sermon was
listened to with intense interest. The
confirmation services were held at the
close of the sermon.
VOICES FROM UE.VVEN ASO BELL.
Ulir-arii* by Rev. T. T. Christian at 1
1 i inity Church.
Rev. T. T. Christian, paster of Trinity
5L thouist Church, preached in the morn
ing on “Voices from Heaven.” Five per
sons united with the church at the
close of the sermon. Last night Mr.
Christian preached on ‘ Voices from
Hell.” 11* quoted numerous passages of
Scripture to prove that there is a hell,
and argued that it is clearly demon
strated by the Scriptures ar.d the connec
tion in which the word is used that the
grave is not meant when the word hell is
usmL Regarding the nature of hell, he
said, he did rot undertake to say whether
the fire mentioned in Scripture in
connection with it is a literal tire, or
whether the punishment is mental or
litei a, n-r did he consider it necessary
to discuss tne question. It is cert 7 in, be
said, that there is a hell and tbal it is a
place of punishment, o. tbo Scriptures
would n>t use the language they do. It
is also a place of fearful torment. It is
also certain that the torment is everlast
ing. He said that if a person once goes
down lo hell there is not a single passage
of Scripture snowing that there is any
avenue of escape. If Cain, who has been
there for hundreds of years, coul l now be
asked if there is any escape he would
answer, “None.” He argued that all
who die without repenting go to hell im
mediately, and exhorted sinners to re
pent at once. Several persons weut to the
altar for praver at the close ol the ser
mon, and after the congregation had been
dismissed a meeting was held for the
Ik nettt of those who sought conversion.
THE BISHOP AT ST. STEPHEN'S.
Confirmation Services at the Colored
Episcopalian Church.
St. Jkephen's Episcopal Church, colored,
on Troup square, was crowded to its ut
most capacity at the 4 o’clock service.
The interest In the exercises were in
creased by the delivery of the litany ser
mon by Bishop Beckwith, and the admin
istration of confirmation to a number of
candidate*. Among the congregation
were a number of white persons, the ma
jority being members of other Episcopal
churches in the city. Upon the eonelu
si >n of the litany service, the choir sang
with fine effect, sHer which Bishop Beck
with delivered a sermon, taking tor his
text the 24th verse of the oth chapter of
st. Mark, beginning with the words: “And
straivhtwav the father of the child cried
out and said with tears,‘Lord, l believe;
help thou mine unboliel.’ ” The B;shop be
gan his discourse by calling the attention
of bis auditor* to the condition of the peo
ple prior to the advent of Christ, and re
ferred to the evidences of the wonderful
achievements of man in the domain o! sci
ence and ait for many aecs ante-dating
the Christian era. These people, be con
tinued, were probably as gifted D u
skilled as any vre have tiMlay. They

had made wonderful discoveries in me
chanics, were renowned logicians, great
poets, orators and painters, and are yet
regarded as masters each in their field of
mental achievement worthy the study of
the scholars of this day. And yet, when
they came to answer what was to be the
end of man—what was to finally become
of the mind and soul—they were per
plexed. When they came to study the
question, What will become of the soul
after the body shall have deeayed? their
final solution of the problem was annihi
lation. Ar.d yet these people believed
in a God, but could not, with all
their erudition and reasoning, find any
harm for the soul when the material form
of man had passed away. Beyond the
grave all was nothingness and gloom.
Hence, when Christ, the young carpenter,
assured the father of the dumb man that
it were possible that the dumb spirit
might be cast out, provided he couldst
believe, the father hesitated and studied,
but finally admitted that he believed and
yet was harassed by doubts and unbelief,
and therefore he cried: “Lord, l believe.
Help thou mine unbelief.'’ Upon the con
clusion of the sermon l!) persons were
confirmed. The Bishop was assisted in
the exercises by the rector and by Rev.
I. B. Kennard.
THE PFLUQER MEMORIAL.
Services at Metropolitan Hall by Kev.
A. O. Brickman
The services conducted at Metropolitan
Hall in the morning by Rev. A. O. Brick
man, ol the “Aew Church,” were in com
memoration of the late Emil Plluger.
There was a large congregation present.
Mr. Frederick Warth presided at the or
gan, and among those who sung in the
excellent choir was Mr. Otto Vogel, the
well known tenor.
The reverend speaker commenced his
address, which was on “The Process of
Death and the Spirit’s Introduction into
the Spiritual World,” by saying: “It
i3 but a short time ago when
this community was shocked by
the brutal murder of the Haertel family.
Again the hands of assassins have
brought a gloom over the city iu the mur
der of Emil I’fluger, a young, accom
plish! and. kind-hearted and very peacefully
disposed gentleman. !*uch horribe oc
currences can but have their origin in
evil. God had nothing to do with them.
His providence, whicn is the government
of divine love and wisdom, did not de
sign or cause them. Respecting man’s free
dom, God permits it and then over
whelms them as far as it is possible for
some good. Evils thus caused by hell
are made subservient to heaven—they
must help to prevent greater evils. God
could hive prevented the minder ot
l’fluger, but he did not. His all-seeing
eye and His paternal wisdom keeps from
ns the reason, but we may be sure that
He, who is love itself and wisdom itself,
and Kth all things well. We cannot call
.Mr. l’fluger b: e’e trom the tomb, but we
can ca!l to our minds the comfort of re
ligious truths. The highest of them is
the immortality of the soul.”
Mr. Brickman then explained the doc
trinqof the “2iew Church” as expounded
by Swedenborg regarding the process ot
death and the passage of the spirit into
the spiritual world. Ho closed by saying:
‘•Our friend, Emil Pflurer, cannot come
back to us, and in this lies the deepest
sense of our mourning. We cannot see
him among us any longer; his genial face
and his kind and pleasant manners and
ways of action, which won him so many
triends, we miss. He canuot come to us,
but we will, sooner or later, go to him.
Brethren of the benevolent societies of
which he was an active member have
given him the last honor at the funeral of
his body, and whilst they mourn his loss
the Divine truth comes to them and to his
beloved family at Berlin, ‘He is not dead,
but gone home.’”
A THRIVING CONGREGATION.
Iha Colored Presbyterians Redariicato
Tb*ir Cliurcb on \Ve*t 15road Street.
During the past three or four weeks the
col /red Presbyterian Church on the west
side of West Broad street, north of Gas
ton street, has been thoroughly over
hauled and repainted inside and out, and
has attracted a great deal of attention l>y
iis improved appearance. Yesterday
morning religious services were held in
the renovated structure, the exercises
partaking of the nature of a rededication,
in which a large congregation of colored
people participated. The pastor, Rev.
C. K. B right, officiated. The church
was tirst erected about twelve years ago,
and has s en gome vicissitudes, owing
chiefly to want of means; but the mem
bers of the congregation have been faith
ful workers and enjoy the rewards of their
steadfastness and zeal in their mission in
the assurance that the number of the wor
ship as is steadily increasing.
The sermon delivered by the pastor yes
terday was predicated upon the text,
“Love thy neighbor as thyself,” the ob
ject of the discourse lieing intended
to show the influence of love, not
only among neighbors, but in se
curing the unity of a congregation
in all Christian work. The speaker
argued that the injunction, “Love thy
neighbor,” was one which no sincere
Christian worker should disregard. It
was nee -ssary that the command should
be obeyed, as’the observance of the man
date tended to the material as well as
the spiritual welfare of the people and to
the strength and growth of tim church.
During the afternoon and evening other
servic s were held. Rev. M. B. Salter
preached the sermon in the afternoon and
Rev. E. J. Adams, of Augusta, officiated
at night. The attendance on both occa
sions was very good.
Barrett in His New l’lay.
The theatrical event of the season will
doubtless be Barrett's appearance in
‘•Blot in the ’Scutcheon” and the "King’s
Pleasure” on Wednesday evening. The
sale of seats will begin this morn
ing at Davis Bros’. The last appearance
of Barrett in Savannah was in “Francesca
da Rimini” two years ago, when be was
given an enthusiastic reception, llis en
gagement in the South is limited and he
will appear in Savannah but one night.
The play, “Blot in the ’Scutcheon,” by
Robert Browning, was produced in Wash
ington iu December and is credited as one
ot the best plays Barrett has ever pro
duced. It was presented to him during
his recent engagement in London.
Ytuterilay Morning's Fire.
The loss on the Second Baptist Church,
which was damaged to theexteut of about
S2OO by fire yesterday morning, is fully
covered by insurance. There Is $7,C00 in
policies on the building in the Royal In
surance Company of England and the
Georgia Home. It is now certain, as
stated in the Nkws of yesterday, that the
tire was the work of incendiaries, but no
clue has been obtained to the guilty par
ties. Services were held in tue church
yesterday as usual.
Local Personal.
Judge Erskiue returned yesterday from
Florida, where he has been for several
days, and is stopping at the Screven.
Alfred Nickerson, Jr., son of the Pres : -
dent of the Boston and Savannah Steam

RAILROAD INTELLIGENCE.
Gleanings from Along the Track and
Crossties.
The latest rumor in railroad circles is
to the effect that should the stockholders
of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad
succeed in having the lease with the East
Tennessee system annulled the "Western
and Atlantic will make an effort to lease
the road.
General Manager Gaddis, of theOgdens
burg and Champlain Railroad, and J. W.
Brown, of Ogdensburg, N. Y., both capi
talists of large means, have been in
Brunswick and over the Brunswick and
Western Railroad on an inspection trip.
Mr. Brown is largely interested in a num
ber of railroad enterprises. It is rumored
that as the Brunswick and Western is
greatly in need of repairs and betterments,
as well as now rails (or a part of the load,
and as the Seligmans and their associates,
on account of differences as to tlie part
nership. are unable or unwilling to put
rnocev into the road, they have Induced
the capitalists to come down, examine
the situation and put $500,1X10, or what
ever amount shall be deemed necessary
in order to thoroughly repair and equip
tbe road, and thenceforth to manage it.
OFFICE-SEEKERS WARNED OFF.
Members aiul Senators Refusing to do
Anything for Men Who Loaf Around
the H otels.
One reason for the sudden departure of
the great throng of office-seekers is that
the few meu who seem to have influence
with the new administration with regard
to the patronage have made it one of the
conditions under which they would ren
der assistance that tbe applicants go
home and stay there. They say they will
not do anything for an applicant as long
as he hangs around the hotel lobbies here.
They don’t want to press a man for a
place who has become nothing more
than a hotel “bum,” not fit for the ap
pointment. It is the fate of an office
seeker who hangs about Washington long
to get in with the hotel loafers and hang
about barrooms and lobbies until be is
good for nothing. This has been the case
in former years, and some of the red
nosed relics of eight years ago are still
hanging on as a dismal warning. To pre
vent a repetition of these experiences
members are driving their friends home
as last as they can under pain of deser
tion if they remain. Most of the post
office appointments that have been made
are men who have remained home or have
been driven there by their members. Sev
eral who were here trying to take care of
their cases were told point blank if they
did not go home at once nothing would be
done for them.

Personal,
Editor Morning Mews: Dear Sir—l
take pleasure in informing you that I
have returned from my trip to New Y’ork.
Ol course, 1 took in the big show at Wash
ington and hnd a hearty handshake with
with our Democratic President. The
show was the biggest thing that ever
took place in the history of our country,
and was the means of spurring me on to
getting up a little show of a somewhat dif
ferent nature lor the people of Savannah.
I think I have succeeded, and now
invite my customers and the public
generally to my store to witness it.
They will gaze with astonment at
the large and varied selection oj the
finest made Clothina ever placed under
one rooj in this city; nothing shoddy, nor
cheap trash to till the store up with, but
the choicest, newest, nobbiest and most se
lect patterns and styles. I will not quote
prices, nor say that my place is the cheap
est, etc., but merely say that l have a
treat tor all regarding prices, and
extend an invitation to all, whether ready
to buy or merely to look around. My
usual large assoitinentof llats and Gents’
Furnishing Goods can’t be surpassed.
Dear Mr. Editor, you will place me un
der inauy obligations by informing the
public of these facts. Respectfully yours,

The great success attending our clear

tinuing cold) to keep our Spring Goods
back another week, and give the public
(or those who have not supplied them
selves yet j a chance to do so. We had a
regular rush for the last ten days. Peo
ple will buy when bargains are offered.
To be sure we lost money, but our object
was to carry over as little goods as possi
ble. We have still a stood assortment
left. There are boys’ suits in the lot that
are suitable fer warmer weather. Re

$3 50. Men’s and Youths’ Clothing just

Spring Fashions for Men.
The seasons come and the seasons go,
and “styles,” that arbitrary tyrant of
mankind dictates andjpreseribes what we
shall wear. The styles this season are
varied enough to suit every taste. Tbe
windows of the millinery stores suggest
what kind of bonnets will be in vogue on
Easter. The male adherents to fashion
also begin to worry as to what they shall
“come out in’’ on Easter. Jlessre. B. H.
Levy A Bro., the Fashionable Clothiers,
189, 191 and 193 Congress street, have
their attractive parlors tilled with every
thing in the way of Gent’s, Youth’s and

Dear Sir—Please allow mo to indtznantly
deny the accusation of her who should to me
be a ‘•helpmeet,” who, with a miserable lack
of discretion, and much less of truth, at
tempts, because of her angrv feelings, to s'an
der and defame me before the public as a vile
beast. Ido not deny having had a little per
sonal difficulty with my wife, as is possible
forny man and wife at some time. From
the first day I carried my daughter to my
house, and because of the apparent truth of
ray daughter's condit on, and because of our
family spat, angered by defeat of her aims,
she thus tries to defame me. And I beg to
say that I am not under bond for crime, nor
has she sued out any bond for crime other
than a peace bond oil account of our family
spat. 1 beg the public, by whom lam well
known, to withhold their judgment until J
shall have ample opportunity to prove that I
am innocent of so heinous a crime.
