The son of an aristocratic Geor

Between the States. Rear Admiral
Oliver, as a man, longed for a ca
reer on the seas. Largely by his
own efforts he prepared himself at
the age of 16 to enter the naval ac
ademy.
Promotions came in rapid order
after Ensign Oliver went to sea upon
completing his course ct the naval
academy in 1877. Days of peaceful
cruising and training during his
early career were broken by the Box
er uprising in China and by the cam
paign in the Philllpines in 1900-0-,
where Lieut. Com. Oliver distin
guished Jiimself in the service.
Born In Houston County, Ga., on
January 15, 1857, the admiral was
the son of Thaddeus Oliver, promin
ent laweyr and captain in the Con
federate army. The wealth of the
family vanished with the “lost
cause" and the boy was reared in
comparative poverty.

U JESUS IS COMING AGAIN tf
WARREN'S SUBJECT TONIGHT
"Jesus Is Coming Again: the Christ
of the Ages, the all-sufficient Christ
is Coming Again.'
Thls is the subJect for nt
the First Baptist church, in the final
service of the week
At this service Mr. Woolslagel will
sing Wilbur Chapman’s wonderful
composition, wonderful in both mel
ody and message:
“Living He loved me,
Dying He saved me.
Burled, He carried my sins far
away;
Rising, He justified freely, forever,
Some day He’s coming.
O glorious day,”
Mr. Woolslagel’s introduction of
the Magic Chinese Rings almost
caused a riot last evening among the
Warblers. Tonight he will give Hou
dmi’s famous trick with the cylinder
and handkerchiefs.
The message last night was on
"The Unpardonable Sin.”
The speaker made three points,
What the unpardonable sin is, what
it is not, and something else Just
as bad as the unpardonable sin.
The 4 unpardonable sin is blasphe
my against the Holy Spirit. Some
say that fifty pdr cent of the people
of the United 8tates have commit
ted this sin. I do not believe that
one fiftieth of one one per cent
have committed It, said the evange
list. There is no one here who is
kept from God by the commission of
the unpardonable sin.
The untenable rin to not some
monumental s t n which you have
which to you seems un
! pardonable. Though your hands are
j red with blood and your soul is
foul with lust, as Davtd’c; though
> you have nailed Jesus to the cross,
; though you have denied Him as did
| Peter, with oaths and swearings, you
caul be forgiven.
There ls something however which
Is Just as bad as the unpardonable
sin, and that U an unpardoned sin.

Invitation to "break bread” here.
Ambassador Claudet is a distin

To die with a sin unpqrdoned to as
fatal as to die with the sin un
pardonable.
No man expects to die with his
sins unpardoned, but he says he will
take his time in the matter. Go<t
says, now is the time.
Men show more sense in temporal
matters than they do in matters re
toting to eternity. A sensible
does not wait till he is dying to make
his will. He does no wait until hit
house is burning to take out insur
ance. But he puts off the matter
of his soul’s insurance unFl the
flames of hell are scorching the
sheets of his death bed. Then to to
too late.
"Now is the accepted time, novels
the day of salvation.” ,
"Boast not thyself of tom o r r o w ,
for thou knowest not what a- day
may bring forth.”
“He who being often reproved yel
hardeneth his heart, shall suddenly
be destroyed and that without

In no wise cast out.”
“He is able to save unto the
