THE CHAUTAUQUA MOVE
MENT.
The following editorial taken
froni a recent issue of the Atlanta
Constitution shows to what extent
the Chautauqua movement is
reaching in Georgia. Gainesville
is the place of all places for a tru
ly great Chautauqua and it is a
source of much gratification that
her people are determined to head
the procession in this great move
ment in the Empire State. Our
ten days assembly which comes to
a close today demonstrates what
can and will be done here. Al
ready a number have set their
shoulders to the wheel and will not
rest until they see the greatest
chautauqua assembly in the South
gathered in Gainesville. It is a
movement which deserves the
heartiest support, and nothing
should be left undone to make the
Gainesville Chautauqua the big
gest and best in the United States.
The editorial is as follows:
The chautauqua movement
seems to be taking deep root in
Georgia.
Such wide awake and progressive
communities as Albany, Barnes-
ville, Demorest, Gainesville, Haw-
kinsville, Thomasville send East
man are each the possessors of
thriving chautauqua assemblies,
with the result that they each draw
annually from the surrounding dis
tricts of country thousands of
eager visitors bent upon obtaining
educational instructions.
There is no better method of
lifting up the masses than through
Poor old Cervera went down
mid shot and shell. In making a ^
dash for liberty he simply obeyed the instrumentality of chautauqua
orders.
War, county politics and the
chautauqua have engaged the at
tention of the people of Hall the
past several weeks.
Everybody who attended the
chautauqua was delighted with
the program. A better list of at
tractions is seldom seen.
The success of our army and na
vy is the cause of rejoicing through
out the United States. Both have
challenged the admiration of the
world.
All visitors who have seen the
magnificent auditorium of the
Georgia Female Seminary marvel
at its beauty. It is a treasure to
be high!}’ priz d
The county primary is over.
The successful candidates feel
quite differently to the defeated
ones. Let all now work for the
success of the ticket.
The next state convention will
be held on .July 20th m Atlanta.

ssemblies. Without leaving any
heavy taxes upon the people who
patronize them, they furnish what
is undoubtedly the best popular
symposium of lecture talent which
the present day affords. -Wher
ever they have been held good re
sults have followed: and we are
glad to see so many of the enter
prising towns of Georgia taking
such interest in the chautauqua
assemblies which they have insti
tuted. We sincerely trust that
other communities in the state will
adopt the example which they
have set in this respect.
In addition to chautauqua as
semblies held during the summer
months there should be lyceum
bureau entertainments held during
the winter months in every com
munity in Georgia. This is the
way to build up the true interests
of the state.
While rapid progress has been
made in Georgia within the last
few years toward diffusing intelli
gence and culture among the mass
es, there is still decided room for
improvement. •
Does Baby
Thrive?
If your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of Scott’s
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
It is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
Scott’s Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
It is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.
Ask your doctor if this is not true.
SCOTT & SOWNE, Chemists, New York
GO TO WORK HOW.
t
We have seen the possibilities
of a great chautauqua in Gaines
ville ; we have been made to re
alize how much such a movement
means to this city and section;
we all know how much benefit we
have derived from the assembly
which closes today and, now, w 6
should all go to work to make the
one next, year bigger and better
than any chautauqua ever held
here, or any assembly ever held
in the State. Chautauqua means
lots for Gainesville, and as far as
individual benefit is concerned
we are all entertained, enlightened
and made better.
Let the work, then, for the
chautauqua next year be begun
now, and lets make it the best as
sembly ever held in the South.
The Macon Telegraph in a recent
issue has the following editorial
which treats of a matter just now
being widely discussed in such a
sensible way that we produce it.
It is worthy of attention and the
editor will find many who agree
with him. It is as follows :
The yellow pulpiteers, who seem
to belong to no particular denom
ination, have had their innings,
and now some of the people and
some of the newspapers have taken
up the cudgel against them. An
unusually sensible and yet con
servative editorial writer has con
tributed two articles to the At
lanta Constitution on the subject.
The case in hand is very success-
r **
fully treated.
Yellow journalism is bad enough
Yellow pulpitism is horrible.
This' infestation of the holy
place is comparatively new in the
South. It has gained a foothold
within the last eight or ten years.
Formerly the old-time religion—
the good and simple old gospel as
promulgated from Sinai, and
preached from the Mount was
good enough for us. But a new
era seems to have dawned. A
circus tent and a ring performance
must be restored to, to draw.
We know that the old-time
preachers of the old-time religion
have met with many discourage
ments. So did Christ. So did
Peter and Paul.
We know that they bow their
heads and bend their knees and
yearn and pray many times for
light and direction, hoping to learn
the way to reach the masses, and
that they are disappointed. But
Christ and Peter and Paul, and the
rest of the pioneers of the Christian
religion, had to face greater diffi
culties than any of the latter day
disciples. If this is not so then
history is a lie.
It is our oppinion that, in the
abundant ardor to reach the
masses, too many really devout
and well-meaning preachers have
lost their heads in a mad plunge
for that notoriety which attracts
gaping crowds. They ought to be
disciplined,gently at first, by their
churches. They ought to be drawn
back to the old landmarks as laid
out by Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John.
We may differ about the rituals
the ceremonies, and about the rel
ative importance of this or that
doctrine, but tho great basic prin
ciples of Christianity stand out
above all the quabbles of all the
theologians like mountain peaks
all along the line from Sinai to
Calvary. They are love, forgive
ness. gentleness—honesty; sum
med up in the text, “Love mercy,
do justly and walk humbly with
God.” The “still small voice” is
the exponent of these. ' Not, w'e
take it, the yellow pulpiteer.

way young I said good-natured
things and nobody listened to me ;

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Tig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
ail the importance cf purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Sy^kup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it aets on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

now that I am old and say ill-
natured things everybody listens
to me.” But was it not better to
listen not at all than to listen to
“ill-natured things?” The still
small voice of good nature doubt
less penetrated deeper than he sup
posed. If to accomplish good was
his purpose iu life his first state
w r as his best state. If to attract
attention and gam notoriety was
his life’3 aim, then his last state
was the more successful, from that
view point.
We fear that some of our preach
ers—thank God not all of them?—
have reached Samuel Rogers’ last
state. They say ill-natured things
in order that people may listen to
them.
The Telegraph may be a little
old-fashioned in these things, but
it is reminded of the fact that the
founder of Christianity was never
severe except when he denounced,
tho whited sepulchers and phari
sees—those whose stock in trade it
was to judge others to hell.
