Who Charged Sabbath?
Evangelist Crisler Heard by
Large Congregation
Savannah June 17.—*To accu-¢
Jesus Christ as being the cne whe.
&t aside ¢r changed any of the
Ten Commandments, 18 to accuse
Him of being **i'he man of sin.”
said Evangeiist Crisler last mglit
in his lecture on ‘*Who Changed
the Sabbath?”
There was a large crowd in the
Adventist Church. Thirty-seven
th and Jefferson streets. The
speaker led up to the kernel of his
lecture by giving an exposition of
the prophecy in Damel 7. Texts
of Scripture and ancient histor)
‘wePe used hiberally to prove that
these four beasts represented the
four great kingdoms of Babylon,
Medo, Persia, Grecia and Rowe.
Stereopticon pictures of these fom
l'l;,freat, beasts were thrown upon the
sereen as their rise and fall were
traced. The interest centered i
the fourth beast having ten horps
and the fise of alittle horn. ““Hav
ing eyes like the eyes of a man.
agd a mouth speaking great
things.” The position was taken
%mb this fourth beast represented
{he Roman Empire, which was
broken up into ten divisions be
tween the years 351-483 A. D.
Mr. Crisler said in part: *‘Be
tween the years 351-483 this little
horn power, ‘Having eyes like
‘t.%e eyes of a man and a mouth
speaking great things,” was seen
coming up. What power was
coming int> prominence at that
time? Only one fulfills the pro
pheey and that was the rise of
Catholicism, or the great ecclesias
tical kingdom of the Papacy. On
ly three divisions of the Roman
Efunire, represented by the three
horns that were piucked up, op
posed the establishment of the
Papacy. These were the Heruli,
Vandals and Ostrogoths. The last
of these were overthrown in the
year 538, leaving the Papacy un
disputed control over the civil and
religious world.
“#he Prophecy points out three
special characterists of this power
in ghe following words: ‘He shall
speak great words against the
most High, and shall wear out the
Saints of the Most High, and think
to change times and laws.” The
special titles and privileges claim
ed by the lopes; the persecution
of Protestants during the Dark
Ages, and tampering with God’s
law, marks the Papacy as the
power referred to in the prophecy.”
. Mr. Crisler to-night, will ex
amime every text in the New Test
ament which mentions the first
day of the week.

Leading QOfficials of Farm
ers’ Union Gather in
Atlanta.
Atlanta Georgia—At a confer
ence held in Atlanta by leading
officials of the Farmers Union and
G. R. Hightower, of Mississippi,
plans were formulated to actively
inaugurate the work of the Na
tional Warehouse Company in
Georgia. It is expected that the
company will have the organiza
tion in this state sufficiently per
fected to begin vusiness at the
opening of the cotton seascn.
The National Warehouse Com
pany is the outgrowth of several
watehouse movements in the cot
ton states during the past few
years and particularly the farm
ers’ warehouse system which for
three years has been operated so
successfully in Mississippi.
Agents of the company will
visit the cotton counties of the
state in the near future to lay its
merits before the farmers and
business men,
It is believed that this system
‘when perfected and extended into
the several cotton states will solve
the cotton grower’s difficulty, both
in financing the crop and warket
ing it direct to the consumers at
the least possible expense,
