THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 1913. IS CHARACTER A MERE MATTER B\) fBishofi Mw CPUAITRY OF CIRCUMSTANCES? W. A. Candler _ rJOME Cbnifoaa BYJTRS. XJ. H.1TE.L.TD/I. MOTHER'S BOY. Have you seen a gallant courtier With a bright and pleasant face, E\ r er ready, at his queens command, To serve with loyal grace? Have you marked him walk beside her With a step of pride and joy? You would know him in a moment— Mother's boy! Quick to note the passing trouble In the face to him so dear; Always eager to espouse her cause With a heart unknown to fear. Oh, the twining arms, the kisses, Smoothing o’er her days’ annoy! Where’s the mother who'd not miss him Mother's boy! What to her the years that, ebbing. Leave her lonely on life’s shore? What to him the youthful hours that fly. And light his path no more? She is still the queen he worships With a service crowned with joy. He will be to her forever Mother’s boy! Feerless chivalry of childhood, Tell us who has gained the prize In the war and struggle of the world, Among the great, and the wise? ’Tis the heart that never faltered In life’s dearest, best employ—v Faithful service to a mother— Mother's bdy! —GEO. COOPER. There is not a mother, young or old, who will not say amen to this little poem. There are some of us who have had such dear boys, who have gone away into the Great Beyond, but whose memory is kept green in our heart of hearts. I have noticed that boys who are good to their mothers generally. make good husbands and good fathers . to their own children when these duties are laid upon them in after years. Nothing is more repulsive to stranger visitors than to see a grown man rude and neglectful of his mother. It is considered an acid test of character. Perhaps the old mother has grown children and not so generally pleasant as she was when life was fuller of friends and prosperity, but the man should never forget that she bore with him when he wks an unlovely , peeling infant, and nobody else cared to be troubled with him. She, however, loved her child and she gave him the best that was in her, unpleasing to outsid ers and yet she did stick to him and would have spent her life’s blood to make him great or famous. The com mandment given from Mount Sinai to Moses gives the Lord’s idea of what a human being owes to its ’parents. The promise of long life is given to the dutiful ones, whi^e there is an awful curse upon those who scoff and revile father and mother. Mother’s boy is a proud title for noble boys THE LUCIFER MATCH. AM going to write about one of the humblest but one of our most use- I ful servants. We call upon it fur fre- | quent and contfnous service during three hundred and sixty five days in the year. I allude to the matches that we strike to make a fire to ignite the gas with to start the kindling in the cook stave, and last but not least fire up the cigars, cigarettes and pipes WOMAN SUFFERED TEN YEARS From Nervousness Caused by Female Ills—Restored to Health by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta ble Compound. Auburn, N. Y. — “I suffered from nervousness for ten years, and had such organic pains that sometimes I would lie in bed four days at a time, could not eat or sleep and did not want anyone to talk to me or bother me at all. Some times I would suffer for seven hours at a time. Different doc tors did the best they could for me until four months ago I began giving Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound a trial and now I am in good health.” — Mrs. William H. Gill, 15 Pleasant Street, Auburn, New York. “Doctor’s Daughter Took It.** St Cloud,Minn.—“I was so run down by overwork and worry that I could not stand it to hdve my children talk aloud or walk h*eavy on the floor. One of my friends said, ‘ Try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, for I know a doc tor’s daughter here in town who takes it and she would not take it if it were cot good.’ “ I sent for the Compound at once and kept on taking it until I was all right. ” —Mrs Bertha M. Quickstadt, 727 5th Avenue, S., St. Cloud, Minn. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound may be relied upon as the most efficient remedy for female ills. Why don’t you try it? of the multitudes, and v.. use them by the dozens every day. Stop a minute and think if you can go anywhere to get help quite as often as you go to the box of matches in your daily life, you use countless num bers of them. I concluded to trace their origin and find that the making of matches was the result of fln accident. A Mr. Isaac Holclin. a chemist in England had to rise before day to pursue his studies in chemistry and was often hindered in getting a light by flint and steel. He was giving lectures to a very large academy, and he understood the danger of using high explosives for instantan eous light. He experimented by plac ing sulphur under the explosive ma terial. He told his class of his success. A youn; student who was present, wrote to his father who was a chem ist in London, and gave him the story of the teacher of lecturer’s experi ment with sulphur and explosives. Shortly afterwards the Lucifer match (as the first were called,) was pub lished to the world; and we actually dont know what we would do, if the match industry was eliminated. 1 have vivid recollection of confederate matches. A block of very dry wood was sawed down about two inches in to very small diversions. The top of these, very small peices was thickly plastered over with the paste of phos- porous to. make them ignite, you set the block of wood on your mantel shelf and broke off a little strip when ever you wanted to strike a light.” They were clumsy enough but made a good substitute for the approved ar ticle. Matches are the usefullest cheap articles that I know anything about ahead of salt, as to cheapness. SUFFRAGISTS AGAIN STORM THE CAPITOL Mrs, LaFollette and Mrs, Shaw Address Members and Ask for the Ballot (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, April 26—Suffra gists, for the second time in a week, again stormed the Capitol to argue why women should have the ballot and be admitted to suffrage on the same plane as men .through the adoption of a con stitutional amendment. 'Chief among those present to plead for suffrage was Mrs. Shaw, president of the National American Woman’s Suf frage association. She was ably sec onded by Miss Helen Varrick Boswell, president of the Woman’s National Re publican association, Mrs. Harvey W. Wiley, wife of the former pure food advocate; Mrs. William Kent, wife of a representative from California, and several others. Two senators, Shaffroth, of Colorado, and Brady, of Idaho, and the wives of two members of the upper house of Congress, also were ready to advance arguments for the “cause.” The women were Mrs. Robert M. La Follette and Mrs. Sutherland, of Utah. Representative Bryan, of Washington state, also was among the pleaders. Mrs. LaFollette argued that women were as vitally interested in tariff leg islation zts the men, and declared that every Important piece of legislation be fore congress in the last wenty years had affected women equally. "If the tariff in any way affects the price we pay for what we eat and wear, if the trusts and combinations have anything to do with the high cost of living, women should understand about It,” said Mrs. LaFollette. “If the prices of the great staples like beef, sugar, oil, cotton, woolens, are fixed by monopoly, if the tariff af fects the cost of the children’s food and clothes, the only radical way to right the wrong is through national legislation. “Women do the buying. Ninety per cent, of ten billion dollars paid out annually in the United States for food, clothing, shelter, is spent by women.” Mrs. LaFollette said she was not one of those who believed that equal suf frage would bring about any immediate radical changes and declared that the real issue in the suffrage struggle was whether it was in the interest of the home and of society, which she main tained it was. Miss Helen Varrick Boswell argued that a federal law would be the quick est and surest way to procure equal suffrage. QUITMAN WOMEN WILL ORGANIZE CLUB (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) QUITMAN, Ga., April 25—A move ment has been launched here this week to organize a woman’s club along the lines of those composing the state fed eration. The club is to be a depart ment club and it is planned to make the civic work the chief feature of the club. The Woman’s Civic league, which has done so much to make Quitman a “spotless town.” operates under the aspices of the Daughters of the Ameri can Revolution, which restricts its scope somewhat. The women have several projects in view, among them a Carnegie library, and they feel they can accomplish more organized as a club. Mrs. Z. I. Fitz patrick, a former Quitman woman, is now president of the State Federation of Woman’s clubs and she lias been par ticularly anxious to haye a club or ganized here and will assist in the project. <®nish Sent To Yon For A.

Cornish Co w„hing t on, n. j mgiy XJV.f Established Over 50 Years I F personal character is a mere mat ter of outward circumstances, rather than of inward nature, then the hardiest form of fatalism is the true philosophy of life and destiny. Many imagine that the theory of fa talism has been utterly and universally renounced by all intelligent people, that, it is an exploded superstition of an cient paganism. But there are many evidences around us to show that it was never more prevalent and potent In its hold upon men. It has been ex orcised from theology, and it no longer appears publicly in theologic terms. But it lias entered into philosophy and literature, penetrating to the very depths; and It is affecting even relig ious activities and social movements. The materialistic philosophy explains every man by his heredity and environ ment; and these terms are accepted as accurately accounting for everything which appears in personal character and conduct. This system of thought meas ures the force of any life, both quali tatively and quantitatively, by the sup posed nervous energy that has been transmitted to it by its ancestors or developed by its circumstances. Pro fessor Tyndall, who accepted it without reservation or disguise, flatly affirmed that all men live In a realm of “phys ical and moral necessity.” Multitudes agree with his dictum. Biography is written from the stand point of this philosophy of necessity, and the lives of great men are analyzed to show that they were “the product of their times.” Dr. Henry Van Dyke says most truly that “there are many men )vho are, consciously or unconsciously, preach ing the same black creed of Necessity i n the subtle forms of literary art, and multitudes are silentl/ accepting it as gospel truth. Fatalism broods over modern fiction and the modern drama like a huge, shapeless spectre; and its Influence is felt in all the judgments and conceptions and sentiments of a society which finds its chief pabulum in novels and plays.” Many churches and preachers are pro jecting their plans and shaping their methods under the influence of the fatal istic notion that character is the result of heridity and environment; and so they make much of sociological exegencies and make little of scriptural regenera tion. They proceed to the effort regen erating the inhabitants in what are call ed “the slums of the cities,” by cleaning up the habitations found in these dis tricts, using freely whitewash brushes and paint, bath tubs and screens, sup plying the slum dwellers with new clothes and “properly cooked food.’ They seem to forget that fashionable streets are often as foul morally as the worst of the “slums,” although these avenues occupied by the affluent, are adorned with the most comfortable and luxuri ous dwellings in which rich people riot and rot while clothed in costly apparel and faring sumptuously every day. This whole plan of redemption, which BISHOP WARREN A. CANDLER. has been aptly called “salvation by soap and song,” reached a ridiculous climax In California recently. The sociological organization In that state called “The League of Justice,” has framed a bill, which Dr. Snow, of the California board of health, is trying to push through the legislature, to establish “a human stock farm.”* The bill calls for an appropria tion of $100,000 to purchase and equip a 1,900-acre farm on which to place twen ty-five select couples with a view to propagating ideal offsprings from choice stocks under idlyyic conditions and un der the supervision of experts. One edi tor commenting on this coarse and bru tal proposition says it is “engenico run mad;” but he is mistaken. This vulgar scheme is just the materialistic view of human life carried relentlessly with log ical end. If humanity is to be redeemed by im proving its heredity and environment, that is the way to do it. If the scheme is wise and proper, it needs to go one step further, however: it ought to pro vide for killing out all the blemished and defective men and women in the commonwealth, and for prohibiting any others of their sort coming into the state, just as infected cattle are excluded from interstate commerce. Now this whole false system of “character by circumstances” Is work ing vast harm. It is causing multi tudes to look upon their sins as being misfortune rather than misconduct. By consequence, we find much self-pity abroad in the land, but precious little penitence for past wrong-doing and less resolute purpose for future right doing. All our sinners are sinning be cause they just “can not help it.” Drunkards debauch themselves, dis honor their families, and shame their children because they are “so weak” they “can not resist temptation.' To Silently Lend a Hand And Aid Without Publicity Is Object of Charity Clan Savannah Organization Will Not Go Through Details of Investigation, But Will Give Help to Individual Needs (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) S AVANNAH, Ga., April 26.—“Let not thy right hand know what thy left hand doeth,” is to be the motto of the Silent Co-Operative Brotherhood, a unique charitable or ganization which has recently been or ganized in Savannah. The object of the silent brotherhood is to aid without embarrassing; to give without flaunting the gift, and to lend a hand wherever and whenever it is needed—not to encourage poverty, but to stimulate the working impulses of those whom they are called upon 10 help, but at all times to render aid at once when it is needed. It is recognized as a fact that it is often true that in cases where aid it needed and application is made to some organized charity much delay is experienced in “investigating.” The silent brotherhood will eliminate inves tigation prior to helping. They hold that when a person needs assistance there is not time for investigation of his character, and that besides a per son’s character has nothing to do with the fact that he is needy. NO PUBLICITY SOUGHT. Worthy people who are temporarily “on their uppers” will not be embar rassed by investigations. The names of those helped by the brotherhood will never be mentioned before the so ciety. Each member will be expected to look after whatever comes to his notice, and beyond this he will know nothing of the other people who are aided by the organization. This is one of the most popular features in the organization. The members realize that too often charity is used as a means of advertisement, and that such is not true charity. Their object will be to aid the worthy at all times in an unos tentatious way, doing their work qui etly and without the knowledge even of each other. This, they believe, is doing with the right hand without the knowledge of the left. Families needing aid, even if there is a worthless man hanging around, will receive it. However, the man will be gotten a position, and either made to go to work or support his family or answer to a charge of vagrancy in some form. The society is to act as an employment agency for people out of work. They believe the truest char ity is in aiding others to help them selves. A list of firms needing help will be kept by the Rev. John S. Wilder, pas tor of the South Side Baptist church, one of the moving spirits in the organ ization and when a case where a man is willing to work is brought before the society ther* will be little time lost in placing that man in a position if his intentions are to do the right thing by his family. Otherwise he will be re ported to the police and given work by the county. TWENTY-FIVE MEMBERS. The society is non-sectarian and in ter-sectarian. There are twenty-five initial ne-mbers of the organization, representing practically every faith in Savannah. The desire of the founders is to en 1st the labors of. every man in the community; to become a light ly, silent working organization which can reach into the homes of the un fortunate rendering assistance in a quiet, unassuming way, without pub lishing their poverty to the world. True crarity will be the keynote of the organization, and therefore the to will be no dues. The raembeis will not be asked to give any statfed amount to the furthering of the work. There Will be no collections or exhortations lor money at the meetings of the brother hood. At the close of each meeting there will be a voluntary offering. A box will be. placed at the door into which the members will drop their of ferings sealed in envelopes and with out the.r signatures. The reason for this is that the or ganizers desire to enlist the co-opera tion of people in every walk of life, and they realize that if there is a col lection taken or a system of titbeing there will be men who will stay out of the society for the reason that they cannot afford to give on the sea!** of the moro fortunate members, and one of th< j objects is to make the society a cosmopolitan body. In this manner the society will take another step toward removing its workings from display in any form.

Sociological quacks are pattering around with soothing syrups and pain killing prescriptions as the moral pan aceas for all the disorders of man kind. We are urged to Took for mil lenniums of righteousness brought to pass by rectifying social conditions rather than regenrating human souls. The whole programme is a delusion and a snare. Character is not a mere matter of circumstances. All history contra dicts this fatalistic dogma. Under the most adverse conditions the highest virtue has been exhibited; there have been Daniels in Babylon, Josephs in Egypt, and faithful souls in the worst times and places, shining as heavenly lights upon crooked and perverse gen erations. Luther arose in Germany in the age of Leo X, and Wesley wrought righteousness in England when the Georges were reigning and Walpole was running his career of shameless bribery. Let theorizers argue as they may, it remains true that man is a free agent, and by that fact he is set apart and above all the animal world. We can not deal with human nature as we do with pigs and cows and horses. There is no place for “human stock farms.” The race of man is to be lifted up by heaven-sent prophets, preaching redemption through Jesus Christ, and not by clerical Burbanks crossing types, and developing new va rieties. Men are not brutes; human conduct is not a matter of external circum stances; but it is the outcome of in ward volitions; character is not the fruit of heredity and environment. The menagerie theory of morality is an in sult to our humanity. Our destinies aro determined in freedom, not by fate.

SUNDAY IS DAY OF PRAYER FOR CHINA (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, April 26.—The Chinese government, having asked Chinese Christians to "set apart tomorrow as a day of prayer for the welfare of China, Christians of the United States have decided also to set apart the day to the same end. Almost all churches in New York will in some manner make mention of the unusual circumstances. Secretary MacFarland, of the federaf council of churches, which recommend ed this simultaneous observance, said today that most New York ministers will have prayers for the new republic. A few will preach sermons on China. The federal council enumerates the .things to be specifically prayed for. They are the things designated by the Chinese government and are: The new- national assembly, for wise delibera tions; the new president of the repub lic, whoever he may prove to be; wisdom in framing the new legislation, early recognition of the new republic by the world power, for peace in China and in all the world; and for the election of strong and virtuous men to China legislative bodies. RELATION OF REGULARS TO STATE TROOPS DEFINED WASHINGTON, April 25.—General Albert L. Mills, in charge of the mili tary division of the army, today is sued an order defining the relationship of the regular army officers to the mil itia, while engaged in instructing the state troops. He made it clear that while the fed eral government was disposed to allow ocnsiderable latitude in the system of military instruction in the various states, yet in order to obtain the as sistance of the government he insisted the system must be such as to afford proper instruction and to maintain the militia as a sufficient war unit. Therefore while the army officers’ services were at the disposal of the militia the officers also were under the orders of the war department, and had certain definite instructions which they must carry out The circular continues that as it may be taken for granted the army officers are educated soldiers, their advice on matters of instructions should be fol lowed. If they are not working in har mony wtlh the state authorities they will be promptly relieved on request of the governor. General Mills adds, but if the system of instruction adopted by the state is not regarded as proper to fit the organized militia for the field and the advice of the army officers is disregarded they will be relieved from duty by the department itself of its own accord.
