8 REVIVAL GOES MOVING_ ALONG, Grace Church Was Crowded Again Last Night to Hear Rev, Morrell. MANY WERE CONVERTED, And Interest Seems to Be on the Increase—Seryices in the Churches Tomorrow, Never, perhaps, before Rev. J. L. Mor rell’s arrival in Macon, and his conduct of the protracted services at Grace church, has such an effective gospel been preached to the people. Little children, young men and maidens, old men and women, all come under the influence of his preaching, and every night since the revival began there have been conversions and acces sions to the church. Tonight there will be received into the church those who shave applied for membership this week. As Mr. Morrell has other engagements, tonight and tomorrow morning and night, •will be the last opportunities that the peo ple of Macon will have to hear this suc cessful revivalist and great preacher. Mr. Morrell, while preaching the doctrine of repentance, and warning his hearers about the wrath to come if they don’t for jeake their sins, in the strongest kind of terms, at the same time impresses his hearers with the fact that he has the profoundest sympathy and love for them, and it is rarely ever the case that he preaches a sermon that does not bear fruit. Mr. Morrell has a wonderful knowl edge of human nature, is thoroughly versed in the Scriptures, perfectly conse crated to the work of the Master, and a man rarely equipped for preaching the gospel. Mr. Morrell is strong and apt in illus tration, never wasting a word or failing to impress a point. At times Mr. Morrell is grandly eloquent, and his word paint ing and graphic descriptions magnificent. Last night Grace church was crowded to hear Mr. Morrell preach a great sermon from Ezekiel 18-20, “The Soul that Sin meth it Shall Die.” The preacher said that “God hates sin and he.had a right to hate sin, for sin had caused all the trouble in the world. It caused God to xgive his only begotten son to come into the world and die, that the world might be redeemed. Sin causes all the tears, all the heart aches, all the crimes. Sin Is the only thing that can keep a man out of heaven. While God is a God of love and mercy, he is also a God of justice, and justice de mands that sin should be punished. God locates sin in the soul, and the soul is punished with eternal death—eternal sep aration from God. Sin Is disobedience to God—doing what you know God does not want you to do. It is being out of harmony with God and his holy law. Don’t you believe in anni hilation—that God is going to blot out your soul—that there will be no more of you after physical death than the dog or cat. God never created anything to blot it out. You may cut down and burn up a tree, but the ashes and gasses will be pre served in some form some where. The in destructability of matter is an argument for a future existance. Bob Ingersoll says, that if he is mistaken in his views, he will just walk up to God, and tell him that he was mistaken. When he hears God say, depart from me into everlasting fire, he just won’t do anything of the kind. If he does he will do more than he did during the war when he heard the Confederate yell. For then it is said, Colonel Ingersoll just took his little soul and pistol and took to the woods. But there is a remedy for sin. God says, “If the wicked will turn from ali his sins "which he hath committed, and keep our •statutes he shall not die.” It all defends upon an if —if you will turn away from your sins, and keep his commandments. Now is the accepted time, now Is the day of salvation nigh. Turn ye, turn ye, why will ye die. You are risking the life of your immortal souls, every day that you put off coming to Christ. It is like a man that was hanging over a precipice, by a small bush, and every moment one after another of the little rootlets is snapping i away, until the last one has snapped and the man has plunged down the chasm and dashed to pieces on the rocks below. Tonight, right now, there may be only a heart beat between you and death. Every heart beat brings you that much nearer to the judgment. After the sermon a large number of the congregation remained for consultation and prayer, and there were a number of conversions and accessions to the church. | SERVICES TOMORROW.

MACON NEWS SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 22 1898. COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS, Immense Quantity Was Used in Georgia During the Last Year. REDUCTION THIS YEAR, So Think the Fertilizer Men and Commissioner Nesbitt—slo,- 000,000 in Futures, Four hundred thousand tons of com mercial fertilizers used in Georgia in one year are startling figures, but that was the number sold last year. Commissioner Nesbit thinks the number will not reach that notch this year, be cause of the extremely low’ price of cot ton. The use of commercial fertilizers, in the opinion of many, is injurious to the land, and they believe that cotton seed and other substitutes are better than the com mercial fertilizers. The factories, however, judging from the number of tags ordered from the ag ritultunal department, are expecting in creased sales for the coming year. Using commercial fertilizers is second nature with the Georgia farmer, and it will be just as hard for him to put these things away as for the average Georgia politician to eschew’ politics. Four hundred thousand tons at an aver age of $25 per ton means an annual ex penditure of slo,ooo,ooo—quite a snug sum. This is forty per cent, of the entire cotton crop of the state last year. There were 1,000,000 bales in round numbers, which, at an average of $25 per bale would make $25,000,000. These figures signify that the salvation of the Georgia farmer is in cutting down his fertilizer supply or in providing some less expensive substitute. The intensive plan of farming, of which the late Farish C. Furman, of Baldwin county, was an outspoken advocate is be ing generally observed now throughout the state than ever. Notes Taken On the Run. The annual meting of the stockholders of the Southwestern railway will be held on February 10.

A young hopeful of eight summers and nearly as many winters was at the tea table the other evening, and feeling it his duty- to entertain a young lady guest said: “Miss Mary, did you know that cur milker, Gus Young, was an ineubater?” Being thoroughly confused and abashed by the roar of laughter which followed, he sought to escape by explaining, “Well, auntie, h is one what don’t believe in no God.” Mr. Custis Nottingham, of Jefferson ville, is a guest in the city.
