Dr. Monk Again Turned on llio Search Light in Hii Hi.'Coiirsc Vts- terday Morning, AN ABLE SERMON BY DR.GAMbTjELL Ai lh« First Baptist Cbarch on the Sub ject of **A Grfit i*r»arhtr in s Groat Clty"«*Dr. Blank l,a«t Wight* Man than 1,000 people beard Dr. Alonso Monk at Mulberry Btdeet Meth odist church yesterday mornlnt, and about aa many were there again last night to bear a continuation of the morning sermon. Aa announced. Dr. Monk took for bln subject "The Search Light Turned oo Again." The «object waa enough to convince the people that Dr, Monk would preach on (octal and political evils In Macon, and da hi* sermons on thla line are usually pretty pointed the congregation began arriving early so aa to aecure seat*. By 11 o'clock, the time the service to begin, the church waa crowded with many people klimdlng in the aisles and vestibule wro could not obtain seats, although many chatra had been placed In • the church for the occasion. Vhv service wj» opened with prayer and alnging, after whloh Dr. Monk de. Ilveied a telling discourse, of which the following la a brief rynopala: * •' Text/ Proverb, xxix: 2.—"Work of Righteousness.’’ No une can tiueatloii Urn atatement that God wllleth the righteous of all the world. And, alao, that-he la mov ing all righteous powers to bring About III!* much-to-be desired state. Since man la what he la and such na he in, thla work of righteousness must first be wrought In man and Hi rough man. The Holy Bible declares the world \o be lying out before (Jod In wlckednvas. There Is no such thing as dividing n man's life up Into chapters ond say ing ho must he good on Sunday, but he may he had through the week, lie must he good hero, but ha may be bid yonder. Ho mult bo a good Chris- tlnii, but ho may be <v bud oltlsan. Then, If tills be not true, ho that Is a good churchman must also bo a good citizen; a good citizen cannot partici pate In an evil thing. livery consistent man must voto ss tie pray*. Clod not only requires Uhnt a man shall be righteous, hut that bo (ball nlso do nil In his power to make other meu righteous. It is our Inexorable duty to promote righteousness. No man Is worthy of decent rnspect who dues not try to dlsohnrgo nil the du ties of citizenship. As .a citizen be owe* It to his fellow citizen to pronjetu. •o far <ia ho may bo able* the general ond special Interest of the govern- ment. Aud 1 wish to stand In tny pi ice today and nay that the pulpit that does nun try to stir nnd krep llred up tho consciences of the people upon nil moral and religious Issues Is unworthy the respect aud confidence of the community. * Not on-ly Is It tho duly of every man and woman nnd child to "aid and ubqt" tlis general and special Inter ests of government, but It Is his duty to prevent In every way posslblo the evil Hint inny como to the people. Th# Word of Ood snys: "When tho wicked ru e wo mourn." Wo have the wicked ruling, but, unfortunately, not enough mourning going on. Bod government may grads down a few olivets and thereby damage somebody’s property, nnd a great bowl goes up; but the bad government may run on or permit to run, day and night, In the very heart d yohr beautiful city a hundred open hells whose blnckened throats are guln- «'* town Into their Insatiable anil nery maws the nobles! of your young »lt supinely Id and sing.

Dr. Monk concluded by telling the congregation that. th* sermon would be continued at night, as he hud re ceived additions'. fnfomfaUon on the subjects he bad discussed and would I ittroduce new «ubJccts.TMs was enough to rurantee another large congrega tion. so that when the services open st 7:20 o'clock the church was literally jamed, wltn minv s.tandlng. Dr. Monk prefaced hi* night »ser mon by saying that Alderman Hill bad paid him a very courteous visit In the afternoon to correct a statement made In the morning sermon, which ws# In effect that two aldermen Wild openly declared that they bought whisky on Sunday at a certain place. Alderman Hill told him this wr/s n mistake, and he wanted a correction made, ss bo was one of the aldermen alluded to, and did not buy the whisky on Sunday, but on election day. "Now.” said Dr. Monk, “I leave It to you to decide which I* the worse.” While on this same line he paid Ms respect* to Chief Burner and his "bosses” for not enforcing the Uw when they knew of violations, and said a delinquent ofllcl.il who failed to enforce the tenr was himself a crlml- nil. He not only violate* hi* osth of omee. but betray* the trust of tho citizens, Dr. Monk said ns an evidence of the failure of the official-' of the city to enforce the law. ho would give the nun-collection of Die street tax ns nn Illustration, The city ts derelict tn the collection of the street tax. but every poor dog found wthout a tax recetpt tied around bis neck 1* taken up nnd killed—a dog can't vote. He then spoke of political environments, and sztj there were men holding po litical posltons Who must acknowledge their obligation to times -who put them there. Prom OH* Tine ot thought he went to the club rooms nnd hi* ar raignment of them was severe. Ho said they were place* of dissipation and debauchery for men and women. Much gambling was oarrted on there, so be had been told, snd be wanted the grand Jucy to look after them. Dr. Monk dwelt for some time on the club rooms and the people who patronize them of both sexes. Next bo took up false swearing And said ho had been reliably Informed (that Justice was seriously interfered with on ac count of the frequency of false swear ing. He analyzed the action of people wljom be Claimed were paying the taxes of negroes and such other people ns would permit for the purpose of getting them do register. “I have beard It rumored." Dr. Monk said, that Putzcl has contributed MOO, Block, |300 nnd Benner 2100 for the purpose of paying Ibe taxes of such people, and If It be true that voter* are bought by money or Whisky, the man Who Is elected to office bv such vote* Is as h.nl ns the nien who sell themsplvcs. He closed bis sermon with a strong appeal to the woimen to uso fhelr In fluence for good In the community. Dr, Monk rooueits the Telegraph to eta to that be will preach no more flpo- elal sermons, as tie Is mtlsfled ihn^he baa done all he could -for tho commu nity on tills snoclal line. AT FIRST BAPTIST. At the First Baotlst church Dr, J. B. Gambrell preached to one of the largest congregations over seen tn the npsdous building. Ho took for bis sub ject, "A Great Preacher In A Wicked City," and no preacher was ever heard In Macon who was more thoroughly roaster of his subject. ■ 'From 'the manner tn which Dr. (latrtbroll went Into tho details of his mibjoct It was dearly apparent to the dbhfffegatton that be bod In the preparation of Ms sermon made deep inquiry Into tho rent facts, amt stated Micro as they existed from his point of view. The sermon was one of tho a bleat ever heird tn the city, and many who bad never bad tbs pleasure of bearing Dr. Gambrel! before were deeply impressed with bl« sincerity nml his dear, forcible manner of con voying his thoughts to nl* hearers. The following Is a synopjsls of what bo «aM: , ■ A Great Prertdher In a Wicked city." ■ it ii This discourse Is based on so much of me sixth cWnotor of Mark ns relates to John the Baptist. I shall apeak this morning ns the condition of things around us urge me to do. nnd not as my preferences would Incline me. There ore time* when men In my place must deliver their souls of the quiet of silence on great Issues pressing for righteous settlement, and such a lime Is this. Let us turn now to this great preacher. First of at. John -was a groat man. Our. Lord said of him that no greater man waa ever born of woman. It takes a great man to mako a groat preacher. You can moke nothing crest out of n little man. We are making the mis take of trying to get greatness out of littleness in numerous Instance*. The first ttitiig to do for « boy is to make out of him all ho can be. The first thing for a young man it to Mature his manhood and reach up aa high aa possible, physically, mentally and enlr- tinally. Alter thnt comes preaching, teaching, lining or what not. Our fundamental need, ts great men. John was such a man. I!c was nobly independent. This is necessary to any greatness He had n mind, a heart and a oottodoua- all his own. No man's collar, no party’s col lar,Uor act* collar disgraced his neck, bom fllVl reared a way In the coun try, he had contorted With the eagle In the cliffs. When he went.up to Je rusalem. a backwoods preacher, he never min did what Mrs. Grundy would say. An enslaved mltul cannot he great. And John feared Gcal till he feared none ocher. A holy reverence Is not weohiisMi and littleness, but strength nnd greatness. It brings the flntte into a >uch with the Infinite, Ob. If wo might have In all our churches today nnd In all Our hearts this expelling, greatenlng reverence tor Uod. It would go far toward making us groat. John was brave. Noisier Ood nor man sols much by a coward. Tlte Bible makes much of bravery. God iKvo not use coward*. David would nover have Men king over Israel It H> had run •yatv front the lion and tho bears. Ood never runs After a coward to trust dint with great affairs. John was brave and our times call for men of courage. Tlte Baptist was, wish nil. an humble mm. Of his Lord, he slid: Ho must Increase. I must decrease. And '.he latchet on Ms shoes 1 am not worthy to unloose. Tats is a strong marie of true greatness. Pride Is littleness and weakncea; hu mility.Is strength and greatness. Nate, to<x that Johu was A man of very sim ple ilre.s .in,i u-t.-v "Dro*.," said •omo one, "speak.- the man." Neat dress cover*, but does not hide Ihe HUM man; it reveals him. The film ing paraphernalia of the exqulsltlea, Ms binding jewelry and loud aouear- ance. bespeak him little. Gn-itneoi is simple. Let us turn to the wicked city. At the time of John's appear ing In Jerusalem, the city was under Roman t ile, or rather misrule. Herod wis a Jew, hut had gone over to the Bomans for iwsltlon. He ants a scalla- wag of his time. There were numer ous others of like spirit, and there we tv Homan dirpetbaggers consum ing the substance of the people a* their modern imitators did in our country some thirty yeses ago. The Jewish religion was putrefied with hearties* formality and stuck through with the dry rot of pride, selflebtvez* and arro- gancy. There 'were the Pharisees, pestiferous and proud to the last de gree, end the Saducees, denying all spiritual life, learned and sensual. Then there was the groat unorganized mass, without patriotism, religion, sect, hope, family pride, or anything to hold them up. Such a situation would nat urally breed Herod- and his set. Lot us turn to r-he preacher again. When John 'went to Joruotlem he did wot play the title tn:ka of UiUe people, 1 muting around <0 catch onto the oJ:a in soalsy. trying to make up atffb big ziratcM. no us to get their influeecc. One of che cures* of modern timeo Is mol: ctmrdfrra are wyiae to got che weald to do ■what Ood 'has given his people to uccwnplisb. Not to did John. He abased nlmoM the grsak peacncr, by the worthy and noble way of deliver ing bis tneango. The little preacher would have preached around on tne t.iges end kept off Herod's rare apo:. He cbtihl have preached M* time out wAihorn geUdng to Herod'n case. But John waa a pmddeat preacher, and to be practical is ever a mark of a great mind. IbCnra were bad: he was there to make Hbtfcn better. Ill* plan was dim (bed: poztCible. Inutead ot bejlr.'.icnz on some *mle eunuer In JeruitiSeun, or on some sin far >0. he begun at head quarters Years ago rune of us were •trying to break up a c'xrtblnation of tvlokundnesi In another cMy. The pen!- tenancy lease was involved. In that Idftle oily men wore rowing with their lacerated bucks on boards, while the luerong <aty paper, without saying a word <o heto litre wretches oft our doors tvus giving Gen. Cblbaars fits for his dnuolty to the Bulgarin ns. John wan not a long-range reformer; but he trained Ms guns down to Short ranae, tiod Ms shot etrunk the heart of every evil when he bit Herod. The kUfg was tne h<xid of 'Oho government, and hi* evil Influence went down through oil the ranks of society, comgfiinrj atnl re tiring all. There Is a powerful fascina tion Ir. office. Take a very Ut'tle man it ml make Mm governor; put him In the o floe, And though he may not fill It, he will be a nturked mutt. Our mayor, a good man. so far as I know, hue added Influence because he Is mayor. He is to the front on all public occasions, and many look up to him. The tuene, In a measure. Is itrue of all public officero. If our public men be.wicked and vile, they will Inevitably corrupt the public. You cannot make wood bflloena out of bad men. "When the wicked rule, ithc peo ple mourn-'' lit mint needs be so. John began. Mke the good preacher he wan, at the right place when he took Herod to task. A grewt French preacher, chaplain to Louis XIV., the grand monnrch, studied the social oandiftlons of France till Iris heart evnt burdened wftth a message lo *he tuition. SeiwUng n time when the king and Wa court were in the chapel for services, he described the dtenolulc- nom of the peasantry, ithelr lock of re spect, for -the mnrrlaire He, anil then anked. ‘Why la It Unit itheae efropJc- mirtded peupie have fallen so low 7” He amtwnrM: "in is the evil influence of the tradtaar olam above them.” Then, shondpg how the trading clam iwuo rot ten with Ihe same shameful vices, he asked how the;' had ftilen Infto such evil ways. The ammrer was, they have been corrupted by the ndblMity. Coming up. he asked how the nohitoty, the Wide of French chivalry, had bo dete- rloiwtid. "Beenuse." arid the gre-it preacher, "you courtier*: who hoar me, ih{ ' extumple." Then he naked why It wns ttinlt the courtiers of the greatest,court on earth had come to be a peril to tho tuition, and, fturMfig to fhe kWg, he pointed m* finger fail In , ' air< ‘' U evil life which *i ruining your court nnd your whole na tion." viraJJi 0rvlws ill* 1 ' 1!, ° courtier* l r °.

The Epslgn" a New Departure in the Way of Historical Play*. The army has hitherto Mid the mo nopoly of dramatic ghrry. War. has furnished the motive far numerous stir ring plays, but It has always been war on Cmd. The acquaintance of.the play-goer with the deck of n man-ot- war aa the theatre of dramatic action ius been limited to that of "H. M. S. Pinafore,” and that outer woaden wall of okt England where Capt. Crosstree was so cruel to txfor William ant? It to black-eyed Susan. In "Tne Ensign'' naval Affaire pre vail. It is not a war drama like “Held by the Enemy." or “Shenandoah," but nn episode historically apochryph.il, but (lramatlciUly.-oorreo;, in Which a young naval officer commits a technical crime In resenting an insult to the flag under which he served. Around this forms « love story In no way different from nny other; there are momenta of sus penses, of course, w<alon heighten tlhe desire for poetic Justice, which, equally, of course, comes tn rhe last act, and th-re aye speeches which fire the pa triotism of line audience. But It is as a "oroCucEon" Shat "The Ensign" 1s iremnrkable. Elaborate sets representing the Interior economy of a warrihlp are constructed 'with faultless accuracy. Uniforms In which there nre not one Incorrect button aro plentiful, gur.s. ladders, ropes, and jierhapa even a mnrlln spike abound, nnd, quite as interesting, one scene U enacted In the president’s cabinet room In 'the White House—accurately reproduced, wltih even itthe reflection of Washington's portrait tn rhe mirror and a copy of the Identical map which hung upon the wall. Another scene equally good 1s a rcnrcsentatlon of the cabi net roam at Richmond during the war, wltih those two towering figures, Jef ferson Davis and Gen. Lee. holding nn Important conference. This scene is deocribed as one of the most riioimutic ever put into a play. 'The Ensign" is the attraction for tonight. WITH THE UcULUOlAlM.
