that Rottniania would take G )..■<< s

It develops that strong external

the conclusion of an armistice and be

If Greece continues the war, the

Greece Fears
Turkish Tricks
ATHENS, Dec 4—Greet. is prepar
ing to continue the war against Turkey,
despite the conclusion of the armistice
on the part of her three Balkan allies.
The Greek government professes to
fear a trick on the part of the Turks.
The Turks are noted for the strategy of
their diplomacy and the Greek states
men express the belief that Turkey is
merely playing for time.
Although Greece has the advantage
of a navy fully as strong if not stronger
than that of Turkey, her possessions are
exposed to a number of different quar
ters.
Premier Vinezllos and Foreign Min
ister Coromilas undoubtedly are trying
to bridge the growing breach between
Greece and Bulgaria, but their task is a
difficult one.
Nothing official has been learned of
the reported fight between Greeks and
Bulgarians at Sorres. where 250 Greeks
were said to have been killed by li.nou
Bulgarians. The story was not accept
ed here as true.
“Greece docs not wish to withdraw
from the Balkan league.'' said Minister
Coromilas. “In our opposition to the
counsels of other members of the league
we have been actuated by fiiendship.
It must he admitted that a feeling of
jealous) has been allowed to grow up.
but it is not a feeling of hostility.
Greece could hav' made favorable
terms with Turkey by withdrawing
from the league at the outset of the
war, but we decided to throw our lot
with our Balkan allies. We gave the
use of our navy to the common cause,
and In addition to harassing Turkey
upon the high seas prevented the land
ing of Asiatic troops at Chatalja. We
expect our fair portion of the spoils of
war in accordance with the common
rules of justice, but wo must guard our
Interests."

Faith, Hope, Charity, Should
Lovingly Abide In Our Midst
To the Editor of The Georgian:
It was the dramatic and impressive Saul of Tarsus who said: ‘ And now abideth faith,
hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.”
Applied to religion, faith means a child-like acceptance of the Word as it is written;
hope means the ever-flowing spring in the heart of man, that feeds the desire for eternal life ■
charity means that divine attribute which gives alms, yet is nobler than the alms-giver, in
that it feels another’s woe, hides another’s fault, concedes another’s right of view, and beck
on onward in its march to the mercy seat the soul that is weary and heavy-laden.
The Pharisee can not exercise charity, for he thanks God ‘‘that he is not as other men
are.”
Applied to every-day thought, in civic upbuilding, that faith should be invoked which
takes hold on existent life, and strives to use it for the betterment of the race of men, in a
way that appeals to the normal view of looking at and dealing with things material;’ that
hope should be encouraged which leads the citizen to believe in the community which bestows
upon him the pleasures and the comforts of life, and to talk and write in such away as to
attract desirable home-seekers and investors to the land that gives him these protective bene
fits ; that charity should be cultivated which would build up civic co-operation so justly emi
nent, so truly patriotic, and so strongly encompassing as to cause commercial and industrial
competitors to applaud the wonderful economic results accomplished.
Menacing mountains that muttered their supposedly impregnable strength 'gainst the
prowess of progress have been leveled by this co-operative display, and the dirt and rock so
acquired has been used to set wheels of industry in motion over the cosmos waste of yawn
ing chasms.
It is well. If there had been no engulfing chasms to defy, and no obstructing mountains to
challenge the energies of activity, engineering would today be an unexplored science, and
man would not now know how to climb and to conquer; motion would nap listlessly in the
lap of Indolence, and achievement would stand still, as the inexorable census-taker looked
. upon a Sahara of pillared inertia.
The Bible is the book of wonder, and Paul gave to evolving thought an immortal sug
gestion in the presented quotation from his letter to the people of Corinth. ’Tis true Solomon
spake it more succinctly when he said, “How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to
dwell together in unity”—but then Solomon was given to nigh cuts in wise sayings. How
ever, both are from the Bible, and whether applied to spiritual or worldly existence, we
know that when the precept is woven into example, souls are saved and cities are built.
This spirit has done so much for Atlanta that it would seem treason to interrupt its abid
ing presence. In applying Bible texts, therefore, to Atlanta’s moral needs, as these appear
to highly wrought minds, good men should consider, lest they unwittingly misquote the Book,
for purposes of convenient application. This would be unconscious blasphemy.
Without desire to place a single obstacle in the way of righteous charity; with a heart
full of applause for every unselfish contribution to all the organized charities of Atlanta,
as well as those in contemplation, I desire to offer earnest protest against the comparative
use of the name of the good woman of whom Christ said, ‘‘She hath done what she could,”
with that of a scarlet woman in Atlanta, who has proffered a donation toward establishing a
home for fallen women, of which it is proposed to make her the administrative head.
The case that had to do with the woman of the Bible, was the occasion of the feast of the
passover, when the chief priests and scribes were conspiring to put Christ to death. They
were restrained from carrying out their purpose on the day of the feast, through fear that the
people would riot. So, when Christ was in Bethany, ‘‘in the house of Simon the leper, as
he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very
precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.
‘‘And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this
waste of the ointment made? ’ J
‘‘For it might have been sold for three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor
And they murmured against her.
“And Jesus said, let her alone; why trouble ye her? She hath wrought a good work
on me.
‘‘For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good
but me ye have not always. ’
“SHE HATH DONE WHAT SHE COULD: SHE IS COME AFOREHAND TO AN
NOINT MY BODY TO THE BURYING.”
Then Christ commanded that wherever the gospel should be preached, the beautiful and
thoughtful love displayed by the woman of Bethany should be ‘‘spoken of for a memorial
of her.”
Thus it will be seen there is not the remotest analogy between the act of worshipful
thoughtfulness at Bethany, on the part of a devoted follower of Jer -s, and the act of
atonement, in the headquarters of the ‘‘Men and Religion Movement” in Atlanta, on the
part of a scarlet woman, whose life had been spent in an atmosphere of evil.
Let it be understood, I have not one word to say in harshness about the Atlanta example
I do not believe that any man should publish harsh estimate ’gainst any woman, however
fallen. Neither have Ito say aught in criticism of her proffered contribution.
I defend a good woman, who annointed Christ for the burial, against comparison that
injures her grace, her purity, her devotion.
In the matter of more extended facilities for caring for charity subjects, I opine all our
people are of one accord, insofar as the main object is concerned. “ The most serious question
involved is to determine upon the best means to be adopted for reaping the desired results
This is a practical question, which might be well trusted to the judgment of those now in
active control of the organized charities of the city. There are now two homes for fallen
women and girls: the Florence Crittenton and Harriet Hawkes. If these need to be extended
would it not be more in keeping with practical promotion to give $7,500 toward making these
homes stronger, than to adopt the doubtful policy of organizing a new home as a monument to
a new convert?
Administrative ability, training and temperament are necessary to successful manage
ment, and the one in charge should be able to command the respect and confidence of all who
may co-operate with her in the work, lest a good movement be lost in the quicksands of im
practical path-finding.
All work of reclamation should be carried on within an atmosphere of delicacy—in sneech
In this connection I would congratulate those in charge of the bulletin work for the
‘ ‘Men and Religion Movement” for having so modified their English as to permit of the read
ing of their moral homilies in comparative fireside safety. However, this thought- Whv were
they so quick to administer to a fallen woman, and yet in a political campaign so eager to
