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

morrd rivit some of my own church
members are of this clsss. If it ne (rue
that they arc. still I haven't a word
to retract from the statement that de
linquent officer* are themselves among
our worst criminals. They stand per
jured by their o.ilh of office and be
tray public trust imposed In them by
their confldlng follow citizens.
Our grand jury Is charged with grave
responsibilities. They are the only law
and order league wc want, If they will
do the!r duty. I hold that rbey will
prove untrue tn this community If
they do not plough through high places
ns welt ds the tow. Search every sus
pected room snd place. And I am
right talking to memers of thnt Jury.
May the wobd Lord give us the vic
tory for th* pure and th* right.
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

IT IS WAR ON THE SEA.
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.
