8 NO FAITH IN FAITH CURES DR BAC.'N ADVOCATES THE USE OF A PHYSICAN’S SKILL. He Usee the Faithist’s Own Authority to Disprove Their Assertions— I The Foundation of Their Belief Really Meant a? a Rebuke-Faith Hospitals and Faith Boarding Houses of Equal Value. Dr. Leonard Woolse.v Bacon preached last night to a large congregation upon the sub ject of the Faith Cure. Ho took his text from the epistle general of St. James v. t 13. 14 and 15. Is there any among you afflicted! let him pray. Is any merry! let. hint Bins- psalms. Is any sick among you! let him rail for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him. anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. , . , And the prayer of faith mhall save the sick.. and the Lord shall raise him up, and if he have committed sins they shall be forgiven biui. These few verses, said Dr. Bacon, ha ve been the centre of no small amount of in terest at different periods. They havo been the subject of much study, and havo re ceived msnv different, interpretations. They are taken a* the authority for extreme unction, a right not to be used until the last moment when no hope of recovery re mains to the suffer or. it is not right to in terpret them thus, for it is evident that they were intended to hold out hope of re covery to the sick. There are other inter pretations but it "as no necessary to enlarge upon them- Life is too short to waste time and argument in converting people from erroneous doctrines which they do not believe. There is too much of that kind of preaching, anyhow. TWO DOLLARS A PRAYKK-* There is a class of people, however, ami it seems to bo increasing m numbers, which cites the verses as authority for what they terra the faith cure. They bold a conven tion in Philadelphia two years ugo, end tho doctor remembered how they prayed for the healing of tho sick and suffering. They have established faith cure hospitals, and infirmaries in several places, and out Went there are professors of t.lie faith cure who pray at the rat- of glia prayer with a liberal discount to w misters’ families. One of these professors came to Savannah, and said he would settle here if lie met with any encouragement. Tho doctor did not encourage him. The faith cure disciples claim t that they are shining examples of the siiiiplo faith of the A]-ostler. That they are so, Dr. Bacon denied. They are not, he said, us a class, ordinarily good people. They are gen erally bloated cud diseased with spiritual conceit, and it is not true that they tiro Letter men, or truer Christians than those who humbly pray to God to forgive them their sins, and send for n physician when they are sick. THE AGE OF MIRACLES. The doctrine that the sick should refrain from sending for a physician and rely only on prayer is founded upon the text from St. James, but the object of the sermon was to show that the text gave no countenance to that doctrine, and, m fact, rebuked it. The disciples of the faith cure dispute the as sumption that the age of miracles is past The age of miracles is past. Several ages of miracles are past. Tlio age of Moses wa-s an age of mircles. and the ago of Christ was an age. of miracles, and oue age of miracles has succeeded another, but the doctrine of the faith cure cannot be sustained by tho assertion that the cures are miracles, for when the cures become common they cease to be miracles. The Bible does not record frequent miracles. Miracles were resorted to in great spiritual crises only, for if they should become common they would no longer be miracles. The full of manna was a miracle, but it was equally miracu lous when it ceased to fall when the children of Israel passed over into the promised land. NOT A NEW DOCTRINE. The gift of healing was not classified as a miraculous gift by Uie Church of Corinth. It was put with the gift of teaching, (he gift, of governing the affairs of the church, the gift of distributing alms, and such other:- He denied that there was anything miraculous in the faith euros At the con vention at Philadelphia he saw a weak and sickly girl lorue in the arms f her father to bo healed I,y prayers. He would have rejoiced to have hoard that God had answered the prayers of those loving i-arents. No doubt He did answer them, but he would iutve lieeu glad to know that Kiev were answered directly as they had" ished them to be, but if he bad heard that that girl liad enjoyed no im provement than from natural causes, he would still praise God, whose will is worked ■ nt, by natural causes. Tho text does nut read like anew doc trine set forth for Christiana to believe. No reference is made by the Apostles to such practices as faith cures in the early church, and it does took like anew rite St. James was estabhs ing. THE USES OV OIL HV THE JEWS. Anointing with il is referred to In three different onneotio.is: (l- 1 Using fragrant. •>il on the bead in the toilet, us an honor to guests, aril on the dead. A’. ) The sacred and religious consei ration by the use of oil -tile names bv which t,hj Ix>rd is known— Messiah and Christ. —mean only the anoint ed one. ffi.) The ayi'licaticu of oil to the sick. In Isaiah there is an allusion to this last use of oil. The man who whs found covered with festering son*- .vas said not. to have been anointed witu oil. It hud not lieen need to soften the wires. The flood Samaritan inioinfed tho wounded man with wine and oil. and it was the ous t/>m ir. the time of the Apostles to anoint the sick witii oil. It was a current prac tice among the Jews, and the question has been raised w hether the physicians of to-day have not gone astray' in throwing aside tho use of oil in eases of sickness. .A rubbing down with oil completed the Roman bath, and it is doubtful whether the ue in this day of an oil and alkali compound tor removing the natural ails htn- not been the cause of characteristic diseases. The anointing with oil that is recorded in the Scripture lias, however, no reference to the faith cure for oil is spoken of either as a perfume or a liniment. A HEBVKE TO EM'HVSIASTS. Rut what is the significance in the in structions to send for the elders of the church' Many of them were skilled in tho art of healing, and th command were to prevent the domestic practice of medicine, the us© of neighbor s prescriptions and the resort to the incantations of heathen medi cine men. They were to • id for the elders who alight lie called I he professional healers of the day and who were probably main tained by con tributious in order that they might study the art. The test is clearly a rebuke to those enthusiasts who neglect the commands of bod; who are hearers, hut not doors •>f the word; who take on the show of re ligion. but keep not themselves unspotted from the world and who, if a brother or sis rer would come to them in need of fot id or raiment, would pronounce a benediction ft at not feed or clothe them. It is a special rebuke to those who say when they are rick, “Don't send for a phy-sician, let’s pray.” “No! No!” says St. James, and it is asy to imagine with what indignation ho would bear bis words pervortod to sustain what be condemned. A FAITH HOAXDIXO HOtfSE. Pray, but do not forget to send for the Christian physician, and with all your prayers do not forget his liniment! Tho text gives no more encouragement to a faith Hospital without a physician and medicines than it does to a faith boarding-houso with out a cook and victuals. Neither dees it give encouragement to the quack, the charlatan, the mind euro, or to any of the pagan healers by Incantations, and, by t.he wsy, every phy sician in Savannah daily furnished* n cu rious example of how some of the pagan -ustoms have lingered on. Tho letter R, with the cross, wnicta most of them think hands for recipe, is the sign of the invoca- I t.ion of the aid of Jupiter by the heathen 1 medicineman: “Oh, Jupiter aid us.” There is in the text tne suggestion that behind the means which mnv be used there is the power of God. St. James recommends the use of medicines and all the skill of physicians, and at the end comes his com mand to pray. Anoint the sick with oil, send for the physician and pray, and if it is the will of God that the sufferer should be cured. He w ill make him whole. CO D- ■V E GETS HERE. ! Mercury Lower Than It Has Been Since Last Winter. There were not so many people out of doors yesterday as there usually are on Sun day. Tho expected cold wave came in on time and kept the Sunday going crowds at home. The day was the coldest since last winter. At 7 o’clock yesterday morning mercury at the signal station was at the 47' mark, and it kept dropping all day. At 10 o’clock last night it was down to 32*—freezing point, and tiie obser ver on duty at tho station said that it would lie likoly to go considerably lower ljoforo it stops. There was a general decline in mercury all over the country yesterday and last night. At Chicago it was down to zero, and all the Northwestern stations rejiorted low temperatures. At 10 o'clock Atlanta reported 22*, Augusta Ik)’ and the Tennessee stations all reported below freezing. The highest temperature reached hero during the day was 47”, which is considerably below the average. Tile mean temperature for the day was 41*, which is 15* lielow the average for fifteen years. The indications are that the wave will be gin to break up to-morrow, but the weather will remain cold for several days. HURLED F -OM THE TRACK. An Unknown Colored Man Instantly Killed at Eden. The south-bound express on the Central railroad, due iu Snvanneh at 5 o’clock p. m., struck, and instantly killed, an unknown colored man nbout 200 yards west of Eden station, twenty miles from the city, yester day afternoon. The train was approaching the station at its usual speed. Engineer Charlton saw the man on the track and blew his whistle sev eral times, but the man appar ently did not hear or was not aware that the train was'so close upon him. When a few yards away and the man did stop from the trac k the engineer blew down brakes, and reversed his engine. It was too late to save the man. ami the next instant he was thrown twenty feet from the track. Tho train came to a stop before it had passed the spot, and the engineer went back to where the body lay. It was badly mangled. The pilot of the locomotive had done its work. A silk handkerchief was tied tightly around the man's head, evidently to keep his ears warm, and this was what kept him from hearing the warning whistle. The body was well dressed, and was of a man apparently 22 or 23 years old. Conductor Beebe notiiied tho agent at Eden, and placed the body in his charge to await identification. AT THE THEATRE. Helen Blythe in "Only a Woman’s Heart’’ To Night and To-Morrow. “Only a Woman’s Heart” will lie the at traction at the theatre to-mght and to-morrow night. A critic says of the play that it must become jxipu lar. It is a close touch to human nature happily dramatized. There's a capable young man married to a noble woman, who neither appreciates her good quali ties nor does his own capacities justice. He, however, conies to see his own faults and recognizes the vir tues of his wife, and his highest qualities of manhood assort themselves In the play Miss Blythe lias good scope for her particu lar school of acting. .She is a favorite in Savannah, ami will hardly fail to draw well.

THE YOUNG SHOP THIEVES. Bryant and Wilson to be Given a Hear ing In Justice’s Court To-Day. Wilson and Bryant, the two 15-year-old boys arrested for robbing E. J. Crane’s jewelry shop on Friday, will be given a hearing in Justices' Court this morning. Their supposecUnccomplice, “’foody,” was arrested yesterday morning on Whitaker street, south of Anderson, but he told a straightforward story, denying that he was implicated in the robbery, and he was re leased. He said that Wilson and Bryant offered to sell him a couple ol watches for 50c. He didn't buy them, but told his employer about the matter, and asked him what ho should do. He was advised to let the watch es alone, and he did so. His story was cor roborated, and he was allowed to go. He promised, however, to appear this morning :ls u witness against, the other tw j boys. ■Wilson and Brvnnt were kept at the liar racks yesterday. They confesod everything und told how they got the watches, where they tried to sell them, and all alxiut their movements. Upon examining the box of old gold, several dollars’ worth of silver and a brass pin in the shape of a sword were found. The pin was not in the box, Crane says, when it was taken from his shop, und it was probably stolen from smneixxly else and put in the Box afterward bv the young thieves. The two watches advertised by Mr. John Docker iu yesteri lay's Morning News are supposed to have belonged to the lot. IS IT A NEW DEAL? The Birmingham Air Line People Look ing at Port Royal. The rumor that a through line is to be opened between Port Royal and Birming ham has been connected with the Birming ham and Atlantic Air Line scheme. Mnj. J. A. A. West, General Manager of the Bir mingham and Atlantic, has tieen in Green ville, S. C., in conference with Maj. Branch, who is a director in both tho Birmingham and Atlantic and the Carolina, Knoxville and Western roads. The recent activity in Port Royal, it is rumored, has made the projectors of the Birmingham line very desirous of reaching Port Royal. As the objective point of the Carolina, Knoxville and Western is also Port Royal, it is thought possible that the two lines may effect a combination so ns to reach the harbor from Augusta. Mpw-k. Branch and West weroiu confer ence Friday and Saturday with the Caro lina, iyuvs ■ me and Western people. Maj. Branch who is President of the Cuffed States Construction and Improve ment Company, which has been building the Savannah, Dublin and Western road is also identified with the Carolina and Knox ville road, and is in the syndicate which has recently been buying up Port Royal. What there is in the scheme is yet to lie seen. The Savannah and Birmingham con solidation, which was to have tieen effected last week, has not yet materialized. A meeting of the representatives of the various "consolidating” interests was to have been held in New York last Monday, but so far ns can bo learned here nothing was accom plished. ON RAIL AND CROSSTIE. Local and General Gossip In Railway Circles. General Manager Haines, of the Savan nah. Florida and Western railway, mid family have been spending .some days in Thomasvilie. Col. Haines' visit there was in connection with the Thomasvilie, Talla hassee and Mouticello road, and he and Mesons. McFendon cfc Reynolds drove over u part, of the line. Track laying will com mence Jan. 1. The West-bound business of the South western Railway Association has increased $*50,000 during the ten months of this year. The East-bound business for the same period was $680,000. At the same time there was a decrease in the car movement of the Southwest Association roads of over 50,000 cars. This is due to the increased move ments of high-class freight, most of which is West-bound, and u decrease in grain aud provisions going East. Representatives of the leading railroads of the East met at New York last week to organize for the purpose of making some general and con mon move in reference to the heating of cars by steam. If this sys tem is generally introduced it will be neces sary for the roads to have a uniform system, s i that the cars of one company can lie coupled with those of the others. No defi nite action was taken, but a committee was appointed to take tho necessary steps for furthering tbn scheme. The Thomasvilie Times says that Con tractor McLain is getting ready to push things on the Thomasvilie, Tallahassee and Mouticello rood. Several of liis men arc there, and they are preparing to begin work iu dead earnest. The Times says: “Four camps will be established and work pushed all along the line. Mr. Brown is building his camp on Mr. Mitchell’s land, ten miles from town. Mr. Campbell is building his on the south side of the McCartney place, six miles from town. Mr. Horace Curry will probably I.mid his camp about where tiie railroad crosses tho Magnolia road, and there will be a camp between Curry's camp and town. Mr. McLain already has a large quantity of tools and supplies in the depot. Operations on a very lively and very largo scale will commence on Monday or Tues day.” The Hailruad the following account of tiie northernmost, railroad enter prise in the world: The Swedish and Nor wegian railroad, which is now building from Luiea, on the Gulf of Bothnia, to Lafoden, on the North sea. is partly situated within the Arctic circle, and is 1,200 miles further north than any railroad in Canada.

The line is Mug built by an English com pany in order to tup the enormous deposits of iron ore in the Gellivare moun tains*. It is feared that the ore in the Bil bao district is nearly exhausted, and ns this is the main source of supply for many steel works in tho United States and Europe, a new field of lion-phosphoric ore suitable for steel rail making is very desirable.

Major John Schwarz Announces Hia Candidacy in Opposition to Mr. J. K. P. Carr-Both. Candidates Backed By a Strong Following -The Election to be Held in January. The contest for the Superior Court Clerk ship is likely to lie a lively one. There has been a good deal of speculation in regard to the slate that will lie made up. The ap pointment of Mr. J. K. P. Carr by the County Commissioners by no means settled the question, and there was a generally ex pressed opinion on Saturday that Mr. Carr will have a hard fight at the polls to hold the office. There was considerable anxiety to know how the Bussells viewed tiie situa tion. The older members of the family were apparently indifferent. One of the younger Russeils, however, announced himself ;tn "out and out” supporter of Mr. Carr, and that was accepted ns evidence that Mr. Carr’s recent candidacy in the City Council for Mr. P. M. Bussells place as Clerk of the < Jity Court, in which the latter came near being defeated, was forgiven if not forgot ten. Up to dark Saturday there were no signs of opposition to Mr. Carr. Home of the court house habitues confidently predicted, however, that Maj. John Schwarz would be a candidate. Apparently it was not until late in the-evening that the Major decided to run, and the announcement was then sent to the Morning Nkws. Maj. Schwarz’s card is the first gnu in a very lively politi cal battle unless some compromise is ef fected. The office to be contested for is, next to that of County Treasurer, tiie most lucra tive in the county, and can be made to bring in an income of $5,000 a year. In addition to these emoluments, there is said to be con siderable political diplomacy in Muj. Schwarz’s candidacy, it was” stated a year ago he was a very strong candi date for the nomination, by a certain jiolit ical element, to the offioo of County Treas urer, but, that he would not antag onize Hon. Waring Russell, and so gavo way. The Major is a strong candidate, carrying the solid German influence, and a large following from the military. He is also a favorite with the workingmen. Asa candidate for any office, either County Treasurer, Mayor, or in fact any position, he is an opponent of more than usual strength. It is therefore to the inter est of political aspirants, to give him a place and keep him out, of their way, and it is reasonable to suppose that he will receive their support. Air. tan- is a competent officer. He is a time-tri and public servant, and has many friends If is possible that he will gain strength by reason of his opponent's sup posed political affiliations. The election, which will probably take place atxmt the middle of January, will, doubtless Be a very lively one. TO TOUCH AT SAVANNAH. A Line of Steamers Between Baltimore and the We3t African Coast. The United States and Congo Steamship Emigration Company, of Baltimore, has been incorporated with a capital stock of $2,Q00,(X)0 with Charles L. Wilson, Com modore Martin, H. K. Pouison, George W.

The trade from Africa will be principally in bides aud jielts, gold dust, cane wood, rubber, coffee, chocolate, palm nuts aud oils, rice, ivory and a variety of native prod ucts. The outward trada will be in cotton fabrics, liquors, manufactured articles of general variety and character. This trade has heretofore been controlled by Germany and England, except that carried on by a few sailing vessels from New England. CHARLESTON’S DAY’S DOINGS.

General Convention of Froducers at Jesup this Week. A general convention of the naval stores producers of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida has been called by the .Naval Stores Manufacturers' Protective Association, to be held at Jesup on Friday. It Is announced that the object of the meeting is the discus sion of the naval storos question; that the numerous evils under which producers are now suffering will l>e reviewed, and that a strong effort will be made to inaugurate some practical anil business like measures to save the turpentine industry from de struction. The Mutual Naval (Stores Producers' As sociation has been invited to send a repre sentation to the convention. It is just about a year since the Naval Htores Manufacturers’ Protective Associa tion came into existence, and during this time its officers and members have labored zealously to carry out tho aims and pur poses of organization. These were forcibly expressed and embodied In the “ resolu tions” drawn up at the Savannah meeting, Not. 15, istyi. and unanimously adopted by the Convention. The committee which prepared these resolutions consisted of A. P. Brantiev. John Morrison, William Let ford, C. B. Parker, D. C. Newton and C. B. Townsend. The resolutions stated und de fined, in no uncertain terms, the position of this association on certain of tho leading questions then at issue, viz: the “horning” swindle; the profit on Inspection charged producers by certain factors; tho virtual ••manipulation” by the factors of the sworn city inspectors into private clerks and de pendent attaches', the omission from account sales of turpentine and rosin of tho name of the purchaser; the excessive freights charged by the railroads for the transportation of rosin: and, finally, the “over-production” of naval stores, with an urgent nppeol to pro ducer! to cut less boxes and reduce tnoir general operations. The circular call for tho Jesup convention reviews the past year’s work, and ad'ls that the na v ul stores interest has much to be thankful for in what has been accom plished. Rata’ Teeth. Front the Sirius Cross. The rat is finely equipped for the peculiar life ho is ordained to lead. He has strong weapons in the shape of four long ami very sharp teeth —two iu the upper jaw and two in tlio lower. Those teeth arc wedge-shaped, and, by a wonderful provision of nature, have always a line, sharp-cutting edge. On examining them carefully, the inner part is found to be of a soft, ivory-liko composition, which can easily be worn away, and the outside is composed of a glass-like enamel, which is exceedingly hard. The upper teeth work into the under, so that the centres of the opposed teeth meet perfectly in the act of gnawing, hence tho soft part is being con tinually worn away, while the hard part keeps a sharp, chisel-like edge all tho time, and at the same time the teeth are con stantly crowing up from the liottom, so that as they wear away a fresn supply is ready. An AV*e Protector. If there is a more able protector against the incursions of disease than Host-otter's Stomach Bitters we have yet to learn of It. Against the periodic attacks of fever and ague it affords a sure defense, it renews waning viiality and counteracts the infirmities of age; it prevents dyspepsia from becoming chronic, and eventu ally annihilates it It rouses the liver and kid neys when dormant, and insures a regular hahit of body. To the nervous it is of inestimable benefit, imparting steadiness and vigor into nn enfeebled physique. The term “delicate health" is usually another name for debility. While the Bitters is procurable, the weak need never de spairof physical re enforcement. Persons whose avocations’ are sedentary and laborious, or in volve exposure to unfavorable climatic influ ences, will also find the Bitters an able pro tector. _________________ We are Thankful For many tilings—for Thanksgiving day in particular—for our success in commanding and holding so large, influential and well satisfied a patronage.
