FACTORIES BRING WEALTH.
Manufacturing Industries the Basis of
a City's Prosperity.
The Opportunities for the Establish
ment of New Enterprises in Savan
nah—The Advantages Offered in Lo
cation-Plenty of Money and Only
Organized Effort Needed.
Real estate speculations are entirely
based on discounting the future demand
for building purposes. This demand is
again dependent on the growth of popula
tion and prosperity. How soon the hopes
of real estate speculators and investors
will be reaiized. especially in suburban
lands, depends, to a great extent, on the
number of new manufacturing and com
mercial enterprises which can be profita
bly established.
Additional railroads, interocean facili
ties, as well as a deep water harbor, are
sure to cause an increase in population by
drawing additional commerce and manu
facturing. but their effect is just as slow
as it is sure.
The effect of the advent of anew manu
facturing enterprise is immediate, as the
'very building of the plant puts money in
circulation, while the employment of fifty
or 100 steady operatives, means
tenants for as many houses or buyers of
homes. It means as many new cash cus
tomers for the retail trade. Ten thousand
dollars spent in a factory does the city
immediate and permanent good. It is a
very unwise and erratic policy for the spe
culator to say. I have put all the money I
have to spare in land speculation
and have none to spare. Go ahead and
put your factory near my land: if there
is any risk to run you run it and I will
reap the indirect benefit by the apprecia
tion of my land. Such a policy could only
have one effect, to drive new enterprises
where they will find better backing and
support. It can hardly he denied that
real estate business in suburban property
has been overdone for several years past :
and enough land has been laid out in lots
for a city of 250,000 inhabitants. Many
will have to wait a long time before their
hopes are realized, unless a general and
persistent effort is made to establish nu
merous and varied manufactories.
There is no reason why Savannah
should not. within a few years, double or
triple its population, as it has so many
and so important advantages which few
cities have tooffer It has health, abund
ance of cheap raw material, it has a
natural immense territory to supply, it
has excellent banking facilities and es
tablished commerce of over 150 millions
per annum.
The establishment of a manufacturing
enterprise is usually followed by several
of its kind if it is successful. For in
stance. the successful operation of the
cotton factory here for several years has
greatly facilitated the establishment of
one or more cotton factories.
The successful operation of the tannery
using palmetto at Marlow has done much
towards urging the establishment of tan
neries here.
Each succees of this kind encourages
investments in this line, and will, sooner
or later, draw outside capital here. All
Savannah has to do is to set the ball roll
ing. outside capital and labor will keep it
going if once started.
Manufacturing will draw a very desira
ble class of citizens, namely, intelligent
mechanics. The advent and employment
of each such mechanic will give employ
ment to two or three common laborers,
who are now so cheap and superabun
dant. Gradually the colored labor will
be turned into skilled workmen, and in
stead of filling tlie chain-gang they will
fill our factories and workshops.
There are so many profitable openings
for factories in Savannah that an effort
to find a profitable field for investment in
manufacturing can only result in the es
tablishment of many. Savannah does
not lack many and varied opportunities
for the profitable establishment of facto
ries. All it needs is an effort of its pro
gressive men tt. start. C. B. Wakkaxd.

DISCIPLE OF A NEW FAITH.
Mrs. Alice Bernard Talks About
Christian Scienoe.
Probably few people in Savannah have
any knowledge of what is known as
Christian science. Mrs. Alice Bernard,
of No. 130 Liberty street, has been in Sa
vannah nearly a year as its representa
tive. It is less than twelve years ago
that Christianity and science were con
sidered irreconcilable, and the knowledge
of this healing power, which is the pur
pose of Christian science, was confined to
Its discoverer, Mrs. Mary B. G. Eddy,
and a few devout students, whom she had
instructed in the revelation that had
come to her.
Speaking of the growth of Christian
science Mrs. Bernard says there are
not less than twenty-four chartered in
stitutions or seminaries for instruction in
the doctrines of i !hrist, according to what
is termed its science. Churches are
scattered throughout the leading towns
and cities, and these churches and insti
tutions are founded upon the doctrine
that all right mindedness is the sure basis
of healing, that all diseases equally the
product of a superinducing mental state.
Hence, to change the eoneious mental
state of the patient will inevitably re
store the sick to health.
Speaking of her work in Savannah.
Mrs. Bernard sqid yesterday that learn
ing there were no Christian science he il
ers in the city, she came here. ,
"Is it true that your science heals dis
ease without the aid of drugs, an t with
the aid of prayer and laying on of hands"’
Mrs Bernard was asked.
"We use no drugs," she replied, “nordo
v.e find it necessary to touch our patients
at all; As it is the divine power or
principle that heats, and as this power
comes not from us, but from (iod, and,
knowing this to be omnipotent, we are
enabled to heal disease.no matter what
may be its type or symptoms. At such
times. I can see the patient just as Cod
made him. not as he sees himself, and I
see and know what the power of the Cre
ator is working upon him."
ou do not treat cases where physi
cians are in attendance"’ '
"No: the two do not agree. Physics
and metaphysics do rot combine. 1 must
distinctly understand that it must be left
to me. 1 can fight disease,but not drugs."
"Dors it not require a great deal of
faitb upon the part of the patient, and is
not the cure to a large extent due to the
effect of the mind upon the body."'
"Not at all.” was the ready reply. Faith
is not essential to cure. When 1 was liv
iug in Canada a man sent for me to conic
and treat his wife for rheumatism, the
doctors having pronounced her incurable
I found her very doubtful of my ability
to cure, or even benefit her. but' at last
sne consented to let me try. Within a
few days she was able to visit me at mv
own home.
“The trouble with a great many people
is that they expect immediate results,
ana tret and condemn the science if re
lief and cure docs not come at once

‘■Rut the preachers;" here Mrs. Her
| nard gave a little shrug of her shoulders.
| and smilingly continued, "they say some
pretty hard things about us- call us
sorcerers and other ugly
names, forgetting that they should also
I have the power to heal the sick if they

teachings of our Saviour by healing as
well as preaching. We are only fulfilling
his command to go forth into the world,
heal the sick, cast out devils, or evil,

deaf. IX) the ministers accomplish
these things'
“Christianscience,’"continued Mrs. Ber
nard, "has nothing to do with animal
magnetisin' ’hypnotism,' nor any other
•ism.' It is light conquering error, truth
overcoming false belief. Disease is an
error and abnormal. Our science is the
spirit ol truth and right, and conquers
the evil of disease.
"That is about as clear an explanation
as 1 can give you of it."
"How long have you beeen practicing
the science.''’
"Since IW. I was then living in the
west, and had long been suffering from
severe illness. I was cured by a
Christian science, and was so impressed
with it that I took thenecessary lessons. ’’
"How can one become a Christian
science teacher." was asked '
"Not every one can do so. Applicants
arc carefully examined and they must
have certain qualifications
"There are m tie' 1 United States." said
the exponent of this faith, "over 1.000,000
people who practice or believe in Chris
tian science.
"It has. of course, existed in all aces,
but was lost to material knowledge three
centuries after the death of our Saviour,
but was re-discovered in the year 1866 by
Mrs May B. S. Eddy, of Boston.
•‘lt is rapidly growing, and is tindingad
herents daily. We, have churches, min
isters, books, periodicals and societies de
voted to our faith, and there is now in
Atlanta a flourishing society of Christian
scientists. lain. I believe, the first of
the faith in Savannah."

Yes; and the pianos you have seen are

WHERE ALL SMOKE IN CHURCH.
Japanese Priest and Congregation
Refresh Themselves During the Ser
mon.
From the New York Tribune.'
During the progress of the sermons that
I had the opportunity of hearing in the
great Buddhist temples of Shibba and
Nikko, in Japan, both the preacher and
the congregation were repeatedly re
freshed with cups of tea, while every
body. men. women and children and
priest, smoked till the air was thick with
tobacco fumes. This, of course, tended
to keep the congregation in an amiable
frame of mind and as such more ready to
lake to heart the doctrines and recom
mendations of the preacher. It is impos
sible to deny that tobacco is conducive to
calm reflection and good temper, and
although nowadays we find members of
church congresses in Europe and Amer
ica arguing that it is wrong for ecclesias
tics to smoke, yet our clergy in the last
century were so thoroughly alive to the
advantage of the herba nieotina. from a
religious point of view, that they used to
smoke not only out of church but even
when in the pulpit. Thus Launcelot
Blackburn, Tgml Archbishop of York and
primate of England, is on record as hav
ing interrupted his sermon on the occa
sion of liis holding a confirmation at St.
Mary’s, Nottingham, to order the church
wardens to bring up fresh pipes and a
supply of tobacco to the pulpit. Dean
Swift used to smoke throughout his en
tire sermon, occasionally refreshing him
self with a glass of port, while Bishop
Duncan, of Dundee,, is described as being
so avaricious that be was wont to make a
practice of coming to church without his
tobacco pouch, and then, after ascending
the pulpit, of inquiring who among the
congregation would be willing to accom
modate him with their's. It is from those
days, too, that date those delightful old
fashioned pews in the English country
churches.fitted up with curtains, cushions,
fireplaces, pokers and tongs, where the
squires slept and smoked away the entire
length of the sermon.
“Another glass,” as the Rev. Dr. Bar
row remarked each time that he turned
upside down the hourglass on his pulpit
during his three-hour sermon before the
lord major. Why should the pulpit be
retained as part and parcel of the furni
ture of our churches? A sermon is far
more impressive when delivered from a
pulpit which, no matter how beautiful,
the carvings by which it is adorned,, can
never under anj’ circumstances add to the
impressiveness of the discourse. Pulpits,
indeed, should have no place in Christian
churches, as they are of Mohammedan
origin, the earliest examples recorded be
ing the tubs fastened upon tops of poles,
forming the sort of crow’s nest from
which the ulema of Mecca and Cairo were
wont to address the followers of the
prophet that thronged the mosques every
Friday. Curiously enough, they
have now been abandoned by the
Mohammedans, except in a few
isolated eases, and are only
to be found in Christian churches'. The
Japanese and Chinese priests whose ser
mons I have heard likewise dispensed
with puipits, preaching from behind a
table holding the rolls of the sacred books,
and seated in those high, back-breaking
armchairs that adorn every Buddhist
temple. In conclusion let me, with all
reverence, indorse the opinion put forth
by King Francis 1. of France in bis
memorable dispute with King Henry VIII.
of England, on the field of the cloth of
gold, with regard to the relative merits
of the liturgy and the sermon. King
Henry preferred the latter, while King
Francis pronounced himself in favor of
the liturgy.
