THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOT T RNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1913. ^OUAJTRY ■CjOME TDPuS V ConDUCTED SIJTR3. \T. H-JELTO/I, EASY COLEE, EASY GO. We have been reading: about the Jew el theft3 at Newport, R. I., where one rich woman lost $100,000 worth and an other rich woman lost $75,000 worth next day. If I had been at Newport or even in little Cartersville, and could boast of that much money invested in pearls and diamonds, it seems to me that I would have had sufficient common ■sense to understand that it was riSKy to be leaving the jewels around care lessly, as it is evident these ladies flung theirs around in a very careless way. One of them had thirty servants in the house, and it is likely the other had as many. It also appears that both ladies are convinced that outside thieves were the guilty ones. That speaks well for the thirty servants as well as the owners of the valuables, but nobody can be certain and the story will be a mixed affair until the thieves are run down and captured. But there is one abiding comfort in this incident, namely, the money came easy to those who lost it, and if they never see a pearl or a diamond of that collection again, they are certainly able to lose, while that much money lost by poorer people could ill be spared. So it is easy come and easy go. But there is a worthy lesson in this noted theft of rich women’s jewels. The owners will be more careful hereafter, and the servants will be more closely attentive to their duties. With thirty servants under one roof, it would have .paid the owners to have detailed a con fidential servant to watch the jewel cases, day and night. ture deliberation, ask leave to submit the following report: The Confeedrate prices of money from May 1. 3 861 to May 1, 1865. IN CASE OP ACCIDENTS. When one catches on fire, don’t run, especially out of doors. Roll on carpet or wrap up in a woolen rug or over coat. By all means keep from inhaling flame. In the universal use of kero sene it is well to rember that fire spreads from lamp oil when water is poured on it. Try to wrap in a woolen rug, table cover or carpet. Don’t throw on water. People faint from various causes. Don’t forget to lay the fainting one down, head lower than the heels. Carry a little bottle of spirits of ammonia in your hand bag and get the fainting one to drink a few drops along with a gill of water. It will help to revive a weak person even quicker than whiskey. For cinders in the eye try a flax seed. It will soon create a mucilage film and hold the cinder where you can remove it. If you can find the cinder, at once, make a roll of soft paper like a cone, dampen the small end and touch the cinder. It may take it out easily. Sometimes the cinder burns the eye ball. Then you must doctor for inflam mation and wait awhile. Cover burns with cooking soda and lay wet cloths on it. Olive oil mixed with chalk or whiting will help the sufferer. We hear a great deal about light ning strokes. Pour water quickly on the struck person. Sunstroke needs ice water bags on the head. If venomous insects sting you apply weak ammonia or tobacco quids. Iodine is good also. I am told that drowned persons can be revived by breathing strongly into the mouth of the patient and rubbing vigorously. Months. 1861. 1862. 1863. 1&64.

'‘Please Send Us Daddy" Begged Babies; Blease Paroles L.ong-Termer (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) COLUMBIA, S. C., Aug. 9.—“Gover nor, please send us daddy,” wrote the two little tots of David A. Kinard, of Bamberg, to Governor Blease this morning in a letter accompany their photographs. One was a little girl two years old and one a little boy four years of age. “Daddy” was in the penitentiary for ten years for killing another mill op erative, William Marvin, in Bamberg last spring. The governor acceded to the request of the children, and sent “daddy” back home with a parole in his pocket. THE EVENING STORY Home ■ . A Congregation Sorrfething (BY BISHOP r (Copyright, 1913, by W.

She a longer walk than usual. She was go- worked as unsparingly as if that were ing clear round by Pink street, though ; the first task of the day for her. When she well knew that her neighbors and acquaintances would have stared , in disdain to see her there. It was not disreputable, but unfashionable. That was why Miss Betsy had moved away. She had been made to do so by her CIEMHTISE WAS TAX.X., BLACK- EYED, VIVACIOUS. dominating younger sister Clementine, and she had never ceased to be sorry. Now, as she entered the beloved, dearly familiar thoroughfare, her steps fal tered, her eyes dimmed with eager re membrance. It was the street where Miss Betsy had been born and where she had lived all her life till half a dozen years before. She had walked the sidewalks as a child, as a girl, and as a woman, in joy and heartbreak, in hope and disillusion. Each and every thing bore witness to her of the sweet and sad things of her life. Past the double array of dingy houses Miss Betsy passed and came at last to the dingiest of all—and the dearet. She paused at the gate to gaze at it. The May bush beside the feeble porch was budding. “It’s grown a yard higher,” she thought. “And that biggest branch was the littlest when we lived here. I wonder if the orioles ever build in the old maple now. I see the daffo dils back there have come up as usual. I’d like to know if they’ve blossomed this year. I thought they needed at tention last fall. That was the last time I was here. Walking isn’t so easy for me as it once was.” She sighed and rubbed the gate post with her finger. ‘It needs fresh paint, but I guess it’ll have to do without for a spell yet,” she thought. “Clem entine wants another piece of mahog any. She’ll have it, of course. And there goes the paint money. Well, this paint has hung on well. And the folks don’t seem very particular. I wish they’d pay a little faster. They’re quite a good deal back on their con tract, Lawyer Birdsall says. And we need the money to live on. It seems like eating up the body of a friend to live on the old place this way. I wouldn’t care if we’d just rented it. But Clementine wouldn’t hear to that. ‘If you rent it you’ll want to go back to it,’ she said. Maybe she was right. Maybe I would. I can’t go back to it now. for it’s sold on a contract. And there’s the house we live in. Well, I must go on, Clementine’s expecting me.” She hoisted up the net bag, heavy with parcels, and started to move on. “Betsy! Betsy Bush!” The cracked old voice behind her made her turn quickly. “Dorinda’s been watching you out of the window.” said an old man. “She sent me to see if it was you. We all was in order she crept up the back stairs and sought her quiet, little ba.ck room that when the house was planned had been set aside for a maid. In it were the old things Betsy had brought from a similar room in the old house. The tufted counterpane, the* crocheted bureau mats, the rug car pet. and the old-fashioned pictures were strongly reminiscent of the old home. In this room, surrounded by these things Miss Betsy was as happy as she ever expected to be "on this side of eternity. Entering, she felt restraint slip from her. and she lay down upon the tufted counterpane. A gray-brown bird lighted on the window ledge and peer ed at her through the glass. She smiled at it. “Pretty little creeter,” she said. “Birds ain’t so common here as they were on Pink street. The motors and such scare them away. Dear old home!” She snuggled deeper into her pillow. "Maybe it’s wicked to hate this house the way I do. But I never wanted it. It, was Clementine’s doing. She was bound to be fashionable. And she couldn’t be stylish anywhere but in this house. It cost so much—too much. We’ve had to pinch and skimp and squeeze to make an appearance. I don’t know how it will end. I’m get ting discouraged. I’m getting tucker- plan. Clementine never did have any head for business. And I’m getting too old.” And then, somehow, she found her self back in the old house. Around her were all the precious belongings that had looked so out of place in ed out mentally trying to contrive and the new house and had annoyed Clementine so terribly. And there was Dorinda. a big and smiling, hob bling in on her crutch and saying I - /i/>/r72£r2 - “IT’S HOME,” SHE ADDED SOFTLY. “Betsy Bush! Betsy! Wake up.” Gone was the old house and Do rinda. It was only a dream, and Clementine was awakening her. ‘‘Are you awake, Betsy?” she demanded. “When you are I’ve got something to tell you.” “I’m awake,” Betsy said, sitting up. “Well, then, listen! *1 don’t know whether you’ve ever thought that Mr. Birdsall had any other reason than business in coming here. But he had, I was the reason. He has asked me to marry him. I’m going to, of course.” Clementine came around to the bed and* sat down. “Kiss me, Betsy,” she said. Betsy kissed her gently. “I’m very glad, dear.” “I didn’t know whether you’d be or not. You’re so much older and different, Betsy. And marriage never seemed to be in your line somehow. CHURCH TO CELEBRATE SEVENTY-SECOND YEAR QUITMAN, Ga., Aug:. 9.—Old Liberty church, at Grooverville, in this county, will celebrate the seventy-second anni versary of its founding with a “home coming day" next Saturday, August 16. An Invitation has been issued to every person who is or has been a member of this churcn, or has any associations with its history, to be present. One of the chief features will be an address by Rev. J. M. Rushin, of Bos ton, on the “History of Liberty Church Since Its Earliest Days.” Judge J. G. McCall of Quitman, will follow with an address on the history of the Baptist church in south Georgia. ain't seen you in so long we most j Mr. Birdsall said he never saw two sis- weren't sure.

Mr. Birdsill said he was pretty sure he could sell it again imme diately.” A feverish light sprang into Betsy's eyes. “No, no,” she cried. “I don’t want it sold,. I—” “What are you going to do, Betsy?” Betsy smiled. Her dream possessed her. “I’m going there to live. You can have this house, you and Mr. Bird- sill. Don’t speak just yet, Clementine. Let me. I’ll take roomers for com pany. There’ll be plenty of space down stairs for me. And the old stuff will furnish it. Don’t you see. Clementine?” “Yes, I see,” mused Clemantine, frowning. “But it looks unnecessary. The house is plenty big enough for all of us. I don’t see what you want to go back on Pink street for. And to that old housue. It’s really a horrid old house, Betsy.” “Maybe,” said Betsy. She drew a deep, hungry breath. Her eyes widened with happy visions of the future—un- Clementined, peaceful, living in her own way under the dearest roof tree in the world. “It’s home,” she added, softly. And she did not wonder that Clemen tine looked puzzled. For it would be sixteen years yet before Clemantine learned all that word meant. 7,000 Miles in Canoe (By Associated Press.)

You and Dorinda never get over on our street, do you?' “Landy, no! You’re too stylish for us in that big house and all. tiow’d you like your big house, Betsy? Hdw’s Clementine like it?” “Clementine likes it. But I can’t come in this time, Steven, and I can’t stay. I just slipped away long enough to gpt a peep at things over here. I’m not as good a walker as I once was, and I keep in the house more. But I don’t forget if I don’t come. 1 guess I don’t!” She averted her face lest Steven see the tear on her cheek. “Good-by. Steven. Take my love and plenty of it to your wife. Tell her i wish I was right back here beside her. Tell her—oh, pshaw! What’s the use? Good-by, Steven.” She went on as hastily as her par cels, her rheumatism and her tear- blinded eyes would let her. “Some times,” she thought, “I feel like I’d never 'go near that place again, it upsets me so. Clementine can’t understand, it, but then she’s sixteen years younger and different besides. Home never meant one-half to her what it does to me.” It was a weary way home. Th«» Bush house stood on a broad and cleanly thoroughfare and had three stories and was Venetian-blinded and spaciously porched. Miss Betsy went round to the kitchen door. She flung her bag upon the table and sunk upon a chair. An inner door opened and Clementine appeared. Clementine was tall, black-eyed, viva cious. , Soe was youthfully clad in blue linen.

What intercourse in spiritual A CONGREGATION is something more • than a crowd, as a well organized regiment is something more than a mob. The derivation of the word “congrega- j t.ion” implies that it is a body assembled like a flock, all of a kind and under a common leadership. But this original meaning of the word, together with the conception which it expresses, has al most vanished from the minds of churches and preachers. A different sig nificance now attaches to the word, and a different idea prevails with reference to a body of mefl and women in a place of worship. If a large crowd assembles to hear a man deliver a discourse more or less related to the gospel, it is said “he had a great congregation”. But did he? Was it not merely a large audience which sat in the pews before him? A congregation is a collection of peo ple of kindred natures, pursuing a com mon aim, and animated by a common spirit. Accordingly the Jewish people when they wandered in the wilderness led by the pillar of cloud and organized around the Tabernacle of God, were called “the congregation of the Children of Israel”. So also the Scottish Re formers in the days of Queen Mar> designated their church as the “Congre gation of Christ”. Both the Israelites, with Moses at their head, and the Scot tish Presbyterians, led by John Knox, were bound together by a great com mon purpose and filled with a common spirit; the Israelites were bound for the promise land and the Scots were bent on the reformation of Christianity in their country. But in many churches now there is no common object among the members and no comon spirit upon them. They come together at stated times to hear a man give a homiletic oration, preceded and followed by some musical numbers fur nished by a choir and an organist. They make up an audience, but in no proper sense can they be called a congregation. They come to be entertained rather than to worship. Indeed the element of wor ship has all but perished in very many churches. God is out of mind as com pletely as if the people were assembled in a lecture hall or a concert room. The style of the preacher’s discourse and the character of the music supplied by the singers engage exclusive attention. If the preacher pours contempt upon all the beliefs which the people are sup posed to hold, it makes no difference to them, provided he does it in an inter esting manner. The music may be bet ter suited to the opera house than to a place of worship; but it is quite ac ceptable, provided it is well rendered by pleasing voices. The mistaken view which is involved in thus turning a church into a place of entertainment and neglecting the wor ship of Almighty God, was set forth recently in a well-considered editorial in the Philadelphia American from which the following extract is taken: “Week by week, in the name of the Church, which embraces all de nominations, we have been urging the public to attend religious serv ice. More than once the artswer has come back; “I went, but I did not like the preacher.” The time has come for a frank word. We are not basing our appeals upon the ability of the preachers. We do not Invite you to go t.o Church to hear orations or essays. Nobody knows better than the preachers themselves how far short of their purpose many sermons come. All questions of metre human abil ity aside, even as a spiritual mes sage for hungry souls—a word from God for those whb seek the Father —the sermon is sometimes unsatis factory. Perhaps if the public knew how often the preacher agonizes in pen itent prayer over this, they would be less censorious. The cardinal truth of the matter Is this: We do not go to Church, primarily, to enjoy a good sermon. A congregation is not a mere audi ence: a crowd met to hear a man talk. It is an assembly for the wor- All questions of mere human abil- ship of God. The preacher would be the last man to claim that it is by the wis dom and learning and eloquence of the pulpit that the Church has been brought thus far on her conquering way. Far, far from it. The Church would still be the Church, and continue to live, if there were no preachers. That seemingly extravagant statement is not made in dispar- agreement of the ministry, but only to arrest attention to the vital truth that the Church is meant for the worship of God, for the fellow ship of believers in him, and for edification in the Christian faith. A Church may bo a good Church, despite limitations in the pastor. An unsatisfactory preacher is no sufficient excuse for absenting one’s self from Church. Speaking in behalf of the minis try, we ask men to go to Church, not to hear a preacher, as an intel lectual exercise, but to go for the worship of God, for the confession of sin and for the purpose ox align ing themselves with the Church in all her varied mission and ministry to the world. 'The worshiper’s prayers are of more importance than cne preach ing. What the worshiper thinks about God is a more vital matter than what the preacher says about Goa. The attitude of tbe soul is a graver concern than the altitude of the sermon.” With the disappearance of the ele ment of worship lias disappeared also the element of Christian fellowship in the churches. When the people cease to aim at common spiritual ends, be lieve anything or nothing at will, keep the commandments or violate them at pleasure, and go to church to be en tertained only, the basis of Christian fellowship is utterly destroyed. By what bond can they be held together in such a case? There are prevalent among us today conditions very similar to those which existed in England in Wesley’s time, BISHOP W. A. CANDLES. churches rally? Not around a common taith; for that they did not have. They did not have even common doubts,, much less common belieis. They could not gather on the basis of a common re ligious experience; for they claimed no experience of religion at ail. They grouped themselves by mere social classes. There were then as now “fashionable churches,” and the masses generally* forsook all the churches. As soon as the Wesleyan revival had done Its work, enristian fellowship began to re-appear in England. Then one might have seen Lady Huntington and Lord Dartmouth uniting with coal miners and peasants in the same religious serv ice, for they believed alike, felt alike, and lived by the same religiuos princi ples. We will see a return of Christian fellowship 111 the churches of our own country when the members of the churches begin to know by experience something of what an apostle called “the common salvation.” The worship of God will then take rank above a Sunday ehter tain men t. and the fact of religious life will eclipse and efface all lines of social classes In the house of God. We shall then hear nothing of “fashionable churches” and “churches for workingmen”; but of our churches it will be said, “The rich and poor meet together: the Lord is th emake rof them all.” His Declination Wired to Judge McCall Causes Surprise in Macon (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MACON, Ga., Aug. 8.—Dr. T. W. O’Kelly, of Raleigh, N. C., who was re cently nominated as the next president ox Mercer university by Judge McCall, of Quitman, chairman of a special com mittee apointed to select a successor to Dr. S. Y. Jameson, announced last night in a telegram to Judge McCall that he declined the presidency of the institute. Dr. O’Kelly was strongly urged to accept the presidency of the Macon cob* lege, and it was understod by every member of the special committee that ho would not hesitate to come to Macon. When it was learned last night that he declined the offer, the news created quite a surprise among the prominent Baptists here. The special committee will likely meet again soon and fcomi* nate a new president. ONE-LEGGED MAN BEATS BAILIFF AT RUNNING ARTESIAN WELLS WILL SUPPLY NEWNAN WATER (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) NEWNAN, Ga., Aug. 9.—Pumps for four artesian wells were put in opera tion today at the local waterworks plant, and by Sunday the people of Newnan will begin using artesian wa ter.
