MR. GRANBERRT IS AGAIN
GREETED BT THRONG
In Sermon at Furiow Lawn
Yesterday
“No Difference" was the terse but
interesting topic selected by Rev. Rob
ert Granberry yesterday evening in
his sermon at Furiow lawn Baptist
church, where he is conducting this
week one of the most interesting and
helpful meetings that Americus has
experienced in a long number of years.
The text was from Romans, 3-22:
“There is no difference; for all have
sinned and come short of the glory of
God.”
Mr. Granberry’s eloquent discourse
was, in part, as follows:
“In the third chapter of John we
see what God is, and in the third chap
ter of Romans what man is. The chap
ter from which this text* is selected
is emphasizing the Law of God, in
order that man might see his exceed
ing sinfulness. God never gave the
law to save any man.
“In Romans we find our biographies.
Are all men alike? In one deep, fun
damental sense, yes—for ‘all have sin
ned,’ and in that” there is no differ
erence’.”
Continuing, Mr. Granberry, said:
“Men disagree with this teaching of
‘No difference,’ principally for two
reasons. Some believe they are moral
ists. But a strict morality is a scarce
article. ‘One heart is deceitful above
all things.’ He who takes a square
look at himself will cease talking of
his righteousness or goodness. What
if our sins were listed on the wall
over there?
“Then, again, other men reject this
doctrine of ‘no difference,’ because
they measure themselves by others.
But how about God's standard? ‘I am
the best man in the community,’ but
that does not save. ‘One is your Mas
ter, even Christ, and He alone is the
standard.’
"The whole question resolves it3elf
into this situation—the universality
of broken law makes us all alike. Os
course, it is not a question of flagrant
sin. There is a difference in the hein
ousness and degradation of sin as
Avide as the universe; but so far as
guilt is concerned, there is ‘no differ
ence.’
"The prodigal boy was as truly a
prodigal when he walked out of his
father's gate as when he was feeding
t}ie swine in the distant country. In
the far country he was more degraded,
it is true, but he was not more guilty.
“It is a question, then, of all being
sinners. LAs a matter of fact, the law
is one.
“There are not ten different laws,
but one. Unity pervades the decree
of God. You and I need not break
the decalogue to be sinners and
guilty before God. You need remove
only one rail between here and Ricn
land to have a wreck. You need not
destroy all the fence to lose your
cattle in the pasture—one span rr
moved and your cattle leave the en
closure.
“One link out of the chain destroys
its strength. So a sin is a sin; and
one sin makes us guilty. Yes, there is
‘no difference.’ ‘All men, like sheep,
have gone astray.’
“What shall man do then? Is there
no star to lighten the darkness? Hear
the word —‘Christ is the end of the
law for righteousness.’
“’lt is true that "he that believeth
not is condemned already,’ but ‘the
same iLord is rich unto glory unto all
that call upon Him; for whosoever
shall call upon the name of the Cord
shall be saved.’
“This is our hope, our joy, our priv
ilege. 'While we were yet sinners
Christ died for us, the godly for the
ungodly’.”

AGAIN IN AMERICUS
AFTER MANY MONTHS
Comes From Pacific Coast for
Stay
With height undiminished and a
smile as broad as the placid Pacific
upon which he has been gazing re
cently, Col. Clay Clark dawned upon
the city of his nativity yesterday and
found the proverbial latchstring dang
ling over the outer battlements. It
ha 3 been three mouths since he went
away to the Pacific coast on a business
tour, and he is delighted to quit the
gold coast for the land of peaches, and
where he knows the folks better. His
friends here will always look up to
him—largely because they have to, as
he still stands seven and a half feet
up in the ozone, and welcome him back
to the vine-clad cottage of his boy
hood.

IS SUMMER REALLY THE
SEASON WHEN PEOPLE SIN MOST?
STATISTICS ABE SAID TO PBOVE THAT

DACKSLIDE.
Commercial Appeal.)
We are now in the midst of spring,
but in a few days we will view with
heated brows the blistered sidewalks
and watch a torrid sun lick the skies
as it rolls on toward the Western
woods.
It has been shown by statistics that
summer is the season of sin.
,\Vhy it should be we do not know,
unless the blood becomes hot and the
passions are more quickly aroused
than they are in the cold days of win
ter. 1
Nevertheless from statistics of a
public and private character it has j
been proven, beyond all shadow of a
doubt that summer is a most im-'
moral season.
Licentiousness marshals a host -*f
other vices and parades through the
land in outing time.
The sunshine covers more sinful
ness than the isealskin and more mis-1
chief is hatched in a July day than
in any winter week.
Crime robed in scarlet stalks
through the summer world, stain-1
iug the green earth red. Vice hides
in byways and dark corners during
the frosty months of winter, but it
walks boldly forth and takes posses
sion of the city streets in summer.
Lust, whose wicked face is half
hidden by great coats and f«r col
lars, we pass in winter without recog
nizing, leers at us with unmistakable
eyes from under the straw hat and
over the negligee collar and tie.
While the good man deplores all
of this, he feels, as he fans himself
a queer little quickening of his own
baser self and an inclination to
loosen the reins he has so long held
upon his own actions. He uncons
ciously wonders how it would feel to,
be just a little wicked.
The dual self that is in every
breast makes itself felt. The sum-!
OLD SOL WILL
HIDEJIS FACE
Total Eclipse of Son Late
This Afternoon
Get out your smoked glasses for
the eclipse that occurs this afternoon.
It may be, however, that you will
not need a smoked glass, either be
clouds may make it unnecessary or
because the eclipse occurs so late in
the afternoon that the rays of the
sun are not very bright.
The eclipse, according to the as
tronomers, will begin at 5:12 o’clock
this afternoon, just in time to make
an extra-inning baseball game impos
sible or to cause a few games to be
called before they would ordinarily
end.
On account of the late hour in the
afternoon when the eclipse begins, it
will have been completed practically
by the arrival of sunset, thus virtual
ly cutting off a part of the daylight
in the latter part of the day. So LAipril
28 will be right in the same class
with December 22 as regards the
shortest day, or with June 22 as re
gards the longest day of the year.
In fact, it is said that tonight will
be one of the longest nights of the
year. The eclipse will be visible at
Americus and at other places in Sum
ter county—in case it isn't cloudy.
The eclipse Is expected to cause the
chickens to go to roost earlier than
usual, and, in fact, to cause any ab
sent-minded husband to go home be
fore, he finishes his day’s work.
THE PICNIC AT DAPHNE
WILL BE BIG EVENT
Special Will Carry Picnickers
to Park
The Americus First Methodist Sun
day school, as previously announced
will have its annual picnic at Daphne
Park, and has selected Friday, May
12th, as the date of that merry out
ing for the young people. Committees
are now busily engaged making ar
rangements for the picnic, and a sump
tuous feast and gala day are assured.
The committee will charter a special
train and every little Sunday school
scholar will be given a day’s outing
without ‘cost to him or her. This fine
plan was adopted last 'May, and work
ed admirably, more than one thousand
picnickers thus enjoying the day at
Daphne.
REGULAR MEETING.
Americus Lodge, No. 13, A. F. and
A. M., will hold its regular meeting

mer season is the time that the light
ning plays havoc in general. Just .
it generates in the heated atmos
phere, so passion- generates in the
human heart.
Science tells us that cold contracts
while heat expands. This is the law
of the universe, and it applies to
The passions contract in the cold
months, but they expand when the
days grow hot.
The many sided emotions of man
kind grow to such a degree in the
torrid summer season that combustion
takes place.
| Extreme of any kind are dangerous
to morality.
St. Petersburg is said to be the
most immoral city in the whole ci\-
ilized world. An excess of cold, like
|an excess of heat, produces abnormal
results in the nature of man.
Not in the brief, biting cold of a
single day or week to which we are
[accustomed, but the long congealed
months which necessitate heating ap
parel for the body, heated houses and
blood producing foods.
It is only in the temperate climates
that we find temperate natures.
There is unquestionably a certain
licentious influence In torrid weather
which all save the most stoical na
tures feel to some degree.
It is noticeable In all countries and
among all nations.
Heat will generate microbes of
disease in an unclean and unaired i
room, and heat will also generate
microbes of viciousness in a mind
Which is not opened up to the light
of God.
We ought to open the windows of |
cut minds every morning and give
them a thorough airing and dusting
and shake out all our dusty thoughts
and unwholesome impulses.
One reason why immorality in
creases in summer time is perhaps 1
due largely to the lack of actual '
work to do. It is a season of idle
i.c ss and ISatan always finds plenty *
for idle hands to do.
Let us defy the tradition of the •
-imes past and make our coming sum
mer different.
BEVERIDGE MAN
GO TO GERMANY
Wife Has Ample Money to
Hold Down Job
Washington, D. C., April 27. —Politi-
cians- in Washington see. Presidential
politics in the report that President
Taft has decided to offer the post of
ambassador to Germany, soon to be
vacated by Dr. David Jayne Hill, xo
former Senator Albert J. Beveridge, of
Indiana. It is said that Beveridge
has been called to Washington from
•Canada, where he went recently on a
business trip, for the purpose of re
ceiving the tender of the ambassador
ship.
If Beveridge actually gets this im
portant post, it will be, in the judg
ment of politicians, in the hope that
his followers in Indiana may ue
brought around to the support of
President Taft for renomir.ation next
year. It is known that Beveridge is
not particularly liked at the White
House personally, and the general
feeling here is that, by temperament as
well as by training, he is far from
measuring up to the exacting require
ments of so important a diplomatic a
post as that at Berlin. Hence poli
ticians will see in the appointment
of Beveridge as Dr. Hill's successor a
move in the chess-board of presiden
tial politics.
While the former Indiana senator
may not have the temperament and
training to make him specially fit for
the Berlin post, he has one qualifica
tion an which the German court seems
to lay much stress. He has an ample
fortune at his command, as his wife
is reputed to be worth $2,000,000 or
$3,000,000.
COLUMBUS IS READY TO
TRY ON COMMISSION
Follows in Wake of Progres
sive Cities
Columbus, Ga., April 27. —-It now
seems quite probable that in the not
distant future the government by com
mission idea will be put right up to
the people of Columbus. There has
been a desultory agitation of the idea
here for some time, and in recent
months since nearby Southern cities
have turned to such serious considera
tion of the theme the local agitation
has become more systematic in its
character. At a conference of lead
ing citizens this week, a committee,
S. B. Hatcher, Dr. C. L. Williams,
George B. Whiteside, M. Julius, Judge
A. W. Cozart, Charles J. Swift and 'Ar
thur Bussey was appointed to take
up the tentative work incident to the
inauguration of a campaign in favor
of government by commission.

COTTON MARKETS j
New York, April 27.—The cotton
market opened steady at a decline
of 7 points to an advance of 1 point,
generally 2 to 7 points lower under
overnight realizing orders, and in
sympathy with rather disappointing
cables. Weather reports indicated
that the worst of the gulf storm had
not worked as far eastward as ex
pected, but rains or showers were
more or less general, with heavy pre
cipitation in parts of the central belt,
and during the early trading prices
sold ifp to about the closing figures
of last night in the old crop and to a
