Yesterday's sendees nt the Vlnetlllo
Methodist church wore very Impressive,

month* 18,376 bad been raid Into the
Ireaanrr, notwilhetandlng the fact that
noT m^re than thirty*™ A-*-' ■"
represented in the innmberelilp.
The bouse wae crowded at the 11
o'clock eerrice to tell the pa.tor good-
Jije. The choir sans "Clod Be With You
Till We Meet Annin," and the member*
of the church end congregation gathered
nt the altnr, where the farewell hand
shaking wan attended with many affect
ing eccnee.
Rev. Mr. Wray in quite a yoong man.
but ia one of the brninleat preacher* in
hi* conference. He I* an eloquent and
logical pulpit orator, and a sincere, act
ive Chriatiao, who never tire* In hla ef
fort* to upbuild the chureb and advance
the caime of Chrint. Since assuming the
liaatomte of the Vinevilie church, he hna
Inaugurated a movement to build a
haodaomc new brick church. How well
he haa aureevded ia ahowu l*y *be fact
that -the corncratone of a magniilcent ed

According to the rule* governing the
memlK-r* of the South Georgia Confer
ence, Mr. Wray'a connection with the
Vinevilie church tnuat terminate at the
meeting of the conference neat Wednea-
day at Fort Valley. It would be almoat
impoaailde for a congregation to tuoro
keenly regret to loae n paator.
At the night aervlce. Rev. J. J. Hogan,
quite a gifted and fervent young minu
ter, who hn* been a member of the Vine-
vllle Methodlat church only a abort time,
preached nn eloquent aermon, of which
the following ia a atcnngraphle report:
I, tin mud, 17th chapter, 21*t rente:
••For Israel nnd llio Philistine* had put
the battle in army, army ngninat army."
There never lived a uatlnu not guilty
of hoattlitioa.
Greece, with nil her culture, wna for
ever making war ngninat nome; nnd
Home waa not above returning tho wick
ed compliment.
Every page of the world'* history la
atnined with blood, the blood of battle*.
Hut In none of theae linitlea la tho power
of moral 'courage anil unfailing faith In
God more clearly net forth tbuti In the
one to which my text refer*. Hero, nt
the foot of two of the hallowed hill* of
Judea are gathered two great contending
nrmltw. They have la-on there for some
time. For forty dnya a giant ha* ap
peared from the PhilliaUnea’ camp defy
ing tiny mutt In the ettntpa of larael, say-
* "Send mo a man: aend me a man that
will light me, ami If he alny me we will
he your aervnnla, and If I *l»y him ye
altaJl nerve us." ....
One morning, aa the aun had klaaed
the dew from tile 'op* of those hills,
there was a atlr In Unit camps. The time
Is como for action. The gleam of the bay
onet la seen In the sunlight, and the
nolae of music la heard and there Is
stirring. The Israelite* begin to tremble,
lor they had already Iteen frightened by
this giant, booking around, they see off
on the granny plain* In the distance what
appenra to he a laty coming Inward
them. Soon It appenra that It is David,
the shepherd ho.v. He hna Iteen sent by
his father from the Held with provision*
for Ilia brethren who nte In the army.
This shepherd boy malms up to the quar-
terniaaHr’* tent ami deliver* bis provi*.
Ions, and then goe* Into the midst of
the army.
Just at this moment the giant appenra
again upon the aeeno nnd repents hla
rhaliengr.
David, nllcd with righteou* indigna
tion, turn* to his brethren nliout him
and ask*:
"Who la this man, that be should coma
out and defy the armies of the living
God? 1 will go and meet him."
Hut hia brethren turned on him, and
v. said:
' "Why, we know the pride of your
heart: you have come away from the
field and left thnae few sheep to he de
voured, Now, you had lietter not inter
fere here at all; you are going to get
hurt."
Huw like some brothers' talk that
sound*!
.Hut David replied: "I will go to meet
him."
When he had aald this, other* heard
amt rehearsed It to Saul, the general \n
command of the army, and Saul sent
for David, raying to him:
"My hoy, yon bad hotter not go to
meet this giant. Yon are nothing tint a
youth, and this fellow haa been a war
rior from hi* youth. Yon am unac
quainted with the tactics of war, and he
la well acquainted with them; and he la
well equipped. I fear for your life if you
go."
But David said he had Iteen assisted
In slaying a lion and a hear In defending
hia Dorks, and the same power, the same
God that stood hy him then would stand
by him now.
Anil *o the general consented and gave
him a mat of mall, an outDt for
the eotnlmf. When David bad put on
the out tit, he aald:
“I have not tried this." I suppose be
meant:
"I do not feel comfortable In It."
David's new equipment Included a
sword, amt he waa nut accustomed to
haudhitg a sword. But there was on*
weapon which he wan accustomed to
use, and s« he laid aside the equipment
which Saul had given him, and put on
hia own—the shepherd's outfit.
And going down to tha brink of the
brook, be selected a few small atone* ot
pebble*, aa we would call them, and
placed them In the bag which he car-
rid.
Now he geea forth to meet the giant,
and hla sling ia In hla band. Tbs giant
approaches him, and nays with acorn:
"Am I a dog that you com* to meet
toe thus? t will give your flesh to the
fowls of the air."
"What reply doe* David makt? David
aaya:
"I come to yon In the name of the
Lord God."
You sea David had no trust or con-
Odence in himself, except to do aa God
directed him. He had all confidence ia
God, end eo, placing ono of the atone*
in hi* sling, he hurst In the fore
head Of the giant, who fall* dead, and all
the Pbillistlne* flee.
And so a great battle waa decided In
a single combat. It is the only time In
all the history of the world that I know
anything about that aucb a thing oc
cur#.
In Darid's time war waa the rale; in
oure It I* tho exception. You probably
hare observed that na the light of the
gospel of the Son of God, the Prince of
Peace, spreads it* raya throughout the
earth, the spirit of war diminishes.
Where the blessed inflpcnce of the Holy
Spirit Whom God aent to teach men
the way to live, to move out Into the
paths of righteousness, and to tiring to
their minds all that lie haa said unto
them, wherever this blessed spirit makes
ita influence felt, the spirit of war dimin
ishes. And this blessed light of the goa
lie! la being felt nil over the world, In
the far North and South nnd East nnd
West mid In the Islands of the non men's
heart* are bing fired by thin gospel In the
pulpit nnd the pew, on land and sen,
nnd they are goiug forward in the battle
of God. May this blessed light continue
to shine forth over the earth, permeat
ing nnd illuminating the bcarta nnd
minds of men until we shall realise the
prophecy of Imiali, who tell* ita of the
time when the nations shall learn war no
more, when the weapons shall be turned
Into tool* with which to till the soil,
nnd the nation* shall dwell together in
pence -
"Until some lovely bird from the Sunny
Smith
Shall build Its nest in the cannon's
mouth,
And the only noiae from it* maty
throat
Shall bo tlie bird's sweet, thrilling
note."
And all the sacramental hosts of God,
the fowl* of the air, the winged choris
ters of the forest shall unite In singing
the song the nngeta snng on the first
morning of Christ's nativity—“Glory to
God ia the highest, peace on earth,
good will toward men."
“But whether this prophecy come
true or not, one thing is eertnin, nnd
that ia, battles will always be. I aay
bailies will be. Paul aaya that this life
la a warfare; many declare It is a battle.
I find It a series of battles, There i* the
liattlo for bread—the bottle for bread
being fought all over this load, in cil-
lea nnd ia towns, in the factories nttd in
the fields this great battle for bread
goes on.
If I could marshal tiefore yon this
night the armies in this battle they
would numla-r millions, nnd you would
see regiment after regiment of veteninH.
Here would como one regiment whose
health ha* iteen ruined tiy overwork—
men, women nnd children who Imre
Ih-cii compelled to work eighteen hours
Instead of eight, na the law of litimnn
strength unit common sense dictates. Do
not mianutleratnnd nte; 1 do not incun to
any that a man should work eight
hour* and then quit, or strike if he may
not quit. But 1 do mean to any that if
a tuan or woman be required to work
over eight ltoura, lie or she should be
entitled to extra pay, overtime; and I
claim that moat men could do na much
work in eight ltoura ns in eighteen, anil
even more—especially in the latter part
of life.
Then you would aee another regiment
of men who bnvo lost tliclr limbs in the
sawmills, on the ntilronds, In the shops
null other places in this battle.
And another regiment of children or
women, who Unvo lost their,hands or
other limbs while battling in Iho laun
dry or some other place.
I know Bcmotliltig about this battle
for bread. I enlisted in it a* for hack
na 1 can remember. It la a great battle,
anti wo need It,dp In it. VVImt help does
the Bitde promise? Well, it says, in tile
first place, after advising us tmf to be
troubled about trivial mutters, ns to
what we shall eat or wear, It says:
"Hook first the kingdom of God nnd
Hia righleonsitess, mid all these things
shall be lidded."
■Now# that is the first requisite to win
ning in this battle for bread, nnd it was
l.y observing and applying tills rule or
commandment Hint the Hon of God in
olden times was able to declare:
"1 have been young and am now old,
nnd have never seen the righteous for
saken nor Ids need hogging bread."
God bleu* tho teeming million., who
who toll for bread, nnd may He heip
them to realise the importance of these
words.
THK SPIRITUAL, BATTLE.
Then there Is the battle which may
he called Ihe spiritual battle; that bat
tle goes on in the human heart, of which
no one known anything perhaps, hut the
one who ia fighting it nnd his God.
During the conflict between the Merri-
mae nnd the Monitor, some soldiers
stood off nt a distance on the short- mid
witnessed the fight. They could see the
flashes of light from tho cannon's mouth;
they could see the soldiers moving about,
but could hear nothing, n strong wind
was blowing from them. Toward evening
tho wind changed, nnd the ronr of the
cannon hurst upon their ears; mid so It
la In thin great battle of life. Sometime*
some of our hardest battles are allcut
battle*. In Now York state, a year or
two year* ago. during n revival sorvlee
Iii which I assisted, nn old veteran, with
Ills hair whitening for the grave, had
come forward In the early services,
•ought and found God, In the joy of hia
•oitl said to me afterward:
I have fought In many fierce battles;
I hare faced the cannon and the musket,
but I declare to you, brother Hogan, I
never fought aneli a hard kittle aa the
one I have been fighting in these meet
ings prior to coming to the attar. It
sermed aa though I could not resist go
ing to that altar when the Invitation was
given, and yet. there waa a power which
seemed to hold me back.”
That waa a great spiritual battle going
on In hla heart.
My friends, it I* not the beastly bat
tles which take place between the so-
called champions over which sporting
men and silly women gloat at the pres
ent day; It la the old battle, the old fight
of faith, the hattlr your father fought
and your sainted mother engaged In. May
you tight it, too,
Daring the late war some soldiers were
wanted for an unsafe errand, and the
colonel of Ihe regiment from which they
were to be taken said:
•Comrades, I know well the dangers
attending this errand, and I rvallxe that
tome of yon hare families dependent
upon yon for support, hut I want every
man In this regiment who ia willing to
put hla life in Imminent danger for hla
country to step one step forward."
moment’s silence reigned, long
enough for a short prayer, when the
whole regiment stepped forward.
Brethren. If we could get a church in
Macon that would move in this battle
for the winning of this world to God as
unanimously, as readily as did that regi
ment for their country, we would have
a spiritual cyclone, and M would not be
loos before the influence would spread
and the world won to God.
God help na to enlist hnmanity, for In
union there la strength.

Ah, It lx ii splroal battle—the old
fljflit of frtith that Paul fought. What
a hard time ho had fighting It! How
hard it wan for Paul—persecuted, irn-
prisoned und hooted uud hounded—but
ut the end ho wna able to* aay, with many
other saints: "I have fought a good
fight of fnlth, and henceforth there Ih
laid up for tno a pound of righteousness
which the Lord God hath given mo in
that duy, mid not to we only, hut to ull
who lovo Him.”
Bishop Haven said In departing this
life:
“Good nlgbt; when we meet again it
will bo good morning.”
Press onward, brethren, the strife will
not bo long; today tho noise of battle,
tomorrow tho victors’ song.
And then Paid declares that in this
fight wo need this faith in God to be
able to stand in the lust, day, when tho
how veils nre to bo rolled together as u
scroll and tho earth is to melt with fer
vent heat, nnd then God’s countenance
shall turn forth illuminating the world
and bringing nil things to light. Then
we will hear the blast of the bugle not
calling men to action, but announcing
the end of ojl battles. Thank God! Then
tho result of our lives hIiuII bo , seen.
Then it will he that the effect of our in
fluence upon others will l»e seen. Our life,
or character, will come out, so to speak,
in the form of u ghastly skeleton to
curse us throughout nil eternity, or in
the form of a white dove to bless us
forver.
During tHt* turbulent times in Mexico
& Russian who had become nn Ameri
can cititcn was arrested as «i spy. He
was tried, convicted and sentenced to be
shot. Ho was innocent, however, nnd
got word to this country nnd to Russia
to that effect, nnd both countries sent
soldiers to rescue him. When they ar
rived in Mexico they found the man 1h*-
fore the rifles which were soon, to end
hi* life. They demanded his release, but
were told that he had been tried und
sentenced to ho shot, and uotbing could
save him. Whereupon, the Russian Hol
lers took their flag nud wrapped it about
jhe condemned man, nnd the American
soldiers did likewise with the Stars and
Stripes. Then they stood off, saying to
the Mexicans:
“Fire on those colors, If you dare!"
Thus they rescued him, nnd topk him
homo to his friends nud family.
And so methinks It will bo in tlie last
great day when the battles of life nre
over. When all the temptations of life
are ended, tho Lord will gather together
all the good deeds wrought by Himself
and his people through Him and weave
them Into one large snow white fabric,
and wilb the crimson blood <f the cross
stripe it, and stud It with the Immortal
diadem of the heavens, nud say to the
powers of sin nud hell:
“Fire on thoso colors if you dare.”
With whnt a resounding shout will
the ransomed hosts of the Lord exclaim:
"Victory, victory! through Our Lord
Jesus Christ.
My comrades. In this battle, on this
beautiful •Sabbath night, amidst tho
quiet Of this hour, I salute you on the
battlefield of life, nnd seek to ( cheer
you with these wonderful words coming
from Him Who is the source of nil wis
dom nnd strength, “the God of battles.”
"Be not dismayed;” "fear not; lo,,I am
with yon allway, even unto the end of
tho world. Be thou faithful unto death,
nud I will give thee a crown of life.”
Blessed words are these, brethren.
Have you been cast by circumstances
near the enemies’ lines like myself; have
you becu through ’’deep waterar* has
the sly, malicious elnndercr pursued you,
nud are you still on the Lord's side? If
so, give all the glory to Him who has
always loved us, nnd “Who is aide to
save unto the uttermost," and to keep
us faithful amidst hell’s howling mob of
miseries.
"I Mill never leave you nor forsake
yon," He aay*.
How beautifully doe* this battle llitis-
trnto the battle between the rontefiijlng
force* of flood nnd evil! These 1 two
forces of good and bad have a giant, a
great hcamplou—the giant of Intemper
ance. He haa been stalking up and down
tho earth, dotting it all over with the
grave* of men and women, who have
gone down beneath his withering touch.
He is the breaker of hearts and destroy
er of homes.. Ho ia the wrecker of trains
nnd ships. He has defied tho "power*
that be." He hat indeed defied the peo
ple of God. For pulpit and pew, be it
said to their shame, bishop and bummer,
have trembled In his presence.
Friends, do not get angry. I speak the
truth, and seek your eternal welfare
when I say that aa in battle bullet*
count, eo in thie conflict, ballots count.
It is not tho pound stone from the
brook's briuk that Is needed, but the
square ballot at the ballot box. And you
may be assured that unleu yon are ar
rayed against this giant you are in the
camp of the PhUllstinea.
But by faith, I think I see the David
of the nineteenth century coming over
the plains of time. He may not emerge
from any great pulpit, uud he may
emerge from the rural districts, as did
David. And the day ta not fnr distant
when the giant Goliath will be slain
anil you will be obliged to ran aa did
the PhUllsttne*.
My friends, David started from tho
humble home In Bethlehem and fought
the batUea for hi* country. Jesus started
from the manger at iBethlehem to fight
our battle* alone, *o far as our redemp
tion Is concerned. See Him as Ho walla
up and down the public thoroughfare
without n place to lay His head. See
Him ns He is brought before, the au
thorities anil cruelly mocked. See Him
ill the Garden of Gethsemane, sweat and
blond mingling on his brow. See Him
on Calvary's sacred summit, ns He hangs
suspended between two worlds, the halo
nbove His head, the spears of life shoot
ing out amidst the muddctied mob, the
soul-cleansing Wood trickling down to
I lie ground below; those, holy hands so
ready to help pierced hy cruel nulls;
those blessed feet so ready to run to the
assistance of the needy, dtid tho chid
sabre thrust in his side.
Look! Look! It is Jesus, sinner; "look
und live." A
Christ dhul, not as one conquered, but
ns n conqueror of all the ages, nnd is any
wonder that Ihe artillery of heaven was
heard anil the firmament was vMled In
darkness, while sin, death olid hell sur
rendered to Him, nnd He received tho
key which unlocked heavens' door to His
followers forever more.
