Is YMore War Coming?
Beware Russo-Germania.
Pretty Euphemism.
If You Had a Sand Bank.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE
Y There is serious, threatening pos
sibility of more European war, in the
late news.
The German revolution was soon
begun, soon done. Chancellor Kapp
resigns, becoming plain Doctor Kapp.
He, or those that put him wup, real
ized rather late that it might be
dangerous to foree German workmen
ipto an ailiance with Russian so
yfetism. That would end the chances
f monarchy, which amounts to lit
le; also property rights of a large
gclass, amounting to a great deal.
{ The allies don’t want any German
‘Russian combination, and have made
that clear.
Once convince German workmen
and small property owners that their]
case is hopeless, their nation per
manently bankrupt, and you add Ger-.
man technical skill ana directing
ability to the Russian maeistrom.
Latest cables indicate that the Berlin
crowd is demanding soviet rule and
Jalliance with Russia.

the rest of Europe might make the
rest of Europe worth less than 10
cents on sl. The English, French
and ' Italians know it.
Mr. Obregon of Mexico says Mr.
Carranza's government intends to
make Mexico ‘“safe for Americans.”
More power to the kind intention.
But isn't the job of the American
government to make Mexico safe for
Americans? HEngland is able to make
the whole world safe for an Eng
lishman.
The wealth of euphemism is in
‘ ereased by the coroner’s decision de

without losing a reader. )
The murdered man was found in
bed with a bullet hole in his temple.
Ruth Randall, who committed suicide,
was lying beside him with a bullet
in her head. The verdict describes

Cardinal Logue Sees End of
Peace if Authorities Con
tinue Policy.
By CARDINAL LOGUE,
Catholic Primate of All Ireland.
(Special to Universal Service.)
DUBLIN, March 18.—Not within
living memory can one find in Ire
land such calamitous conditions as
exist at present.
There is drastic repression on one
side, retaliation on the other; a rigidl
military regime rivaling in severity
even that of other countries under
the most pitiless autocratic govern
ment; vindictive sentences out of all
proportion to the alleged transgres
sions, lettres de cachet, or arbi
trary arrests, more frequent}y than
in pre-Revolutionary France; de
portations such as raised a world
cry against the Germans when in
military occupation of Belgium.
REASON FOR DISORDER.
These and similar acts of power
could not fail to create exasperation,
recklessness, despair and general
disorder. On the other side retalia
tion, lawlessness and crime, such as
any man guided by God's law must
regret and reprobate. And I am
certain that they are reprobated by
the great body of our Catholic peo-]
ple, whatever their political views. ‘
It would be an injustice to tax a
whole people, who have been hab-‘
itually peaceful, and strictly ob
servant of the divine precepts, With‘
the acts of a few irresponsible, des
perate hotheads, probably the emis
saries or dupes of secret societies. 1
If some of the recent ill judged
acts of the authorities are persisted
in I fear that peace will not long
continue. For example, in one of our
towns a sudden swoop was made by
the police and soldiers. In the
small hours of the morning they
dragged a number of people from
their beds, without charge alleged or
cause assigned, and sweptthem into
captivity. Later the troops Wwere
marched through the streets in all
‘the panoply of war, with no visible
object. .
. One can not believe that these dis
plays were resorted to for the pur
pose of creating irritation and pro
voking disorder; but whatever the
intention, they would certainly have
that effect and are therefore injudi
cious and imprudent. The people
thus treated may have political
views which may be right
or wrong, moderate or extreme; but
‘while they remain mere views, re
‘sulting in no overt act of outrage
or disorder, it is a very mistaken
policy to stir them into action.
1S PLAIN INJUSTICE.
It is, moreover, a plain injustice.
Most of these young people are nec
essary for the support of their fam
ilies; many for the spring work
whieh is so much needed, when the
highest authorities declare that there
is not enough food to feed the world
and that without the most extended
and energetic production starvation
is inevitable.
Better, therefore while they com
mit no fault beyond the meer ex
pression of political views, to leave
them at dead of night and send them
the mat dead of night and send them
to waste their time, energies and
health in English prisons.
But these trials should be borne
by the people in a Chritsian spirit,
with patience and resignation to the
Divine Will However, oppressive
and intplerable their grievances may
appear, they can not justify crimes
which are in conflict with God’'s law.
This state of things can not last
or stand the light of modern public
opinion. Foce can never be a sub
stitute for good government.

Abreast of
_T'he News
The Everglades, an Atlantan, and
. .
an Alligator, All Combine to
.
Save This Column From
the German Revolution.
By VICTOR VICTOR.
One reason for the choice of today’s
subject is an effort to dodge the Ger
man revolution. How far can one get
from that overshadowing element of
the day’s news? Will alligators and
the Florida Everglades do? They
have both been prominently in the
news within the past two days.
Monday, friends of the Atlanta en
gineer, J. B. McCrary, were alarmed
by a report that he had been lost in
the Everglades. Tuesday, Mr. Mec-
Crary himself sent a telegram dis
pelling their anxiety and explaining
that he and his Seminole Indian guide
had merely been caught by an un
anticipated rush of “high water,” and
were compelled to seek another exit
trc&m the wilderness than that plan
ned.
To draw further attention to this
unparalleled region, as well as to him
self, one “Basco,” alligator citizen of
Atlanta, and proud native of the
Everglades, died recently and ac
commodatingly under circumstances
of such pathos to his friends among
the children, that he climbed into the
exclusive “Colurmm Two” of The Geor
gian’s front page—one step, doubtless,
on his way to heaven!
THE EVERGLADES.
The Everglades, greatest home of
alligators, and the only home of croc
odiles in North America, are, truly,
an ‘“‘unparalled region” for more im
portant reasons than their reptilla.
They are not, as most people im
agine, either a typical, oversized,
fresh water swamp, like our own
Georgia Okefenokee, nor a great salt
marsh of the usual order. Except for‘
their innumerable islands the greater
part of the region is submerged; but‘
over it pours a constantly changing
flood of fresh water, moving from}
Lake Okeechobee, in Southern Flori
da, to the sea. 1
The Everglades, which are about!
100 miles long by 45 wide, are really
‘the southern end of this lake. The
currents through the morass tollow§
an intricate labyrinth of deeper chan
nels, or “creeks.” ‘
1 Except in the deepest parts, and In
the dry spots, the whole is covered
with its own peculiar “saw-grass,”
sometimes growing to a height of ten
‘teet above the water, incomparably
‘dense, with blades as hard as bamboo,‘
and cutting-edged like a sharp saw,
‘Wild myrtle and other shrubbery add
to the impenetrability of the region.‘
. The heart of the Everglades was a
‘secret to white men right up to the
beginning of the twentieth century.
‘Only the native Seminole Indians
possessed the prowess to solve the
mystery of its entangling labyrinth
of tricky currents.
But the region is remarkably fer
tile and astonishingly temperate In
‘cllmate. and since 1906, the State of
Florida and the federal government
have been at work reclaiming it. To
day, nearly 1,000,000 of the total of not
quite 4,000,000 acres has been won
from the waters.
BASCO’'S RIGHT NAME.
But the Lord’s strange creaturesi
are much more . interesting than His
strange places, fascinating though‘
these may be. Therefore, let the
Everglades glide, and now to the late
lamented “Basco.” ‘
My fellow knight of the typewriter
who immortalized Basco's demise
stated that his name was ‘“just plain
Basco.” 1 stand four-square upon
three different encyclopedias and
deny that belittling allegation. His
name was ‘“Basco Alligator Croco
dilia.”
“Crocodilia” is his scientific fam
ily name, derived from a Greek word
signifying a lizard or newt, though
he really is not close kin to a lizard.
The Spaniards gave him his middle
name, likewice by relying too much
upon appearances. “Alligator” s
gimply a slight corruption of the
Spanish “El Lagarto”—*"“the lizard.”
Down in Brazil, where a smaller
brother of Basco’s, the spectacled al
ligator is quite numerous, the peo
ple just call him “lagarto,” and the
real lizards, poor things, are called
something else. Arthur Brisbane is
right—the big fellow is always taking
something away from the iittle one!
The alligator was formerly very
common in almost all warm south
eastern fresh waters, from the lower
Savannah River around the coast to
the Rinr Grande. In fact, the North
American alligator is known as the
“alligator Mississippiensis.” Besides
the “spectacled alligator,” he has, in
Central and South American waters,
a much more important brother—
this time slightly larger—known as
the “Caiman,” who is hunted, like
Basco, for his valuable hide.
Central and South American waters
likewise abound in true “crocodiles”
though, as has been indicated, the
Fverglades are the only place where
they are found in the I'nited States.
IN RE HUMAN DINNERS.
There is not much difference bhe
tween crocodiles and alligators. The
erocodile’s head is narrow and comes
to a point, while the alligator's is
broad and blunt., There is likewise
some difference in the arrangement
of the teeth and hard ridges on the
haek and tail. Beyvond that, the main
difference is that the alligator s
heavv and clumsy, while the croco
dile is lighter and much more arile.
Allizators are not as sneedy on land
as thev are reputed to be,
Contrary to nonular belief, neither
gpecies In the Americas todav will at.
tack man unless cornered, though the
erocodile grows dangerous in cap
tivity. There have been exceptional
cages, but generally speaking. even
a chila could go swimming in the
Fverglades with nerfect safety. But
as for a Adog—well, it would proba

ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, MARCH !9, 1920
Contract With Georgia Railway
and Power Company Signed
by Union,
\
Arbitration is substituted for the
strike in settling disputes arising in
future between the Georgia Railway
and Power Company and union mo-}
tormen, conductors and shopmen;
and the 15 per- cent ‘increased wage‘
schedule is made effective, in the
1920 contract signed Wednesday by
the two parties. The document also\
sets forth in detail the privileges“
and rights of both the company and
the men under the agreement. \
The contract was signed by H. M.
Atkinson, chairman of the board of
directors of the company; W. H.l
Wright, secretary; W. B. Honeafl
president of Amalgamated Associa
tion of Street and Electric Railway
Employees of America Division No.
732, and N. A. Skelton, recording
secretary. It embodies agreements
reached by a committee from the
union and officials of the company
and the wage decision reached by the
board of arbitration consisting of
Luther Z. Rosser, Madison Beil and
Judge John D. Humphries.
Relative to arbitration instead of
strikes for settlement of future dis
putes that may arise, section five
of the contract says:
“When any disputes arise between
the company and the association, or
its members, over which they can
not mutually agree, the same shall
be submitted to a board of abritra
tors composed of three disinterested
persons, one arbitrator to be chosen
by the company, one by the associa
tion and the two arbitrators thus se
lected shall choose a third arbi
trator.
DECISION FINAL.
“This board of abritrators so con
stituted shall hear evidence and ar
guments on the points in dispute
and the written decision of a ma
jority of the members of the board
of arbitration shall be final and
binding on the parties thereto. The
parties hereto shall each pay the
arbitrator of its own selection, and
they shall jointly pay the third arbi
trator and the other legitimate joint
expenses of such arbitration, each
party, however, paying:its own ex
penses incurred in preparing and
presenting its case.”
The contract is applicable to both
the Georgia Railway and Power
Company’s lines and those of the
Atlanta Northern Railway Company
in the counties of Fulton, De Kalb
and Cobb. 'ln brief the “contract
provides:
The membership of the union shall
consist of and the agreement shall
cover only motormen and conduc
tors and men employed in the shops,
barns, track construction or main
tenance work exclusive of men
whose trades make them eligible to
membership in other trades unions.
Men in these departments shall
have the right to join or anot join
the union.
The company agrees to meet and
treat with duly accredited officers
and committees of the union on all
grievances that may arise during the
life of the contract.
Union men suspended, damerited
or discharged shall have the right to
have their cases investigated by of
ficers or committees of the union
and be reinstated wheg§ it is mu
tually agreed to by the’ union and
the company that he was not at
fault.
The company reserves the right to
hire and discharge the employees,
determine the number of men it will
retain or employ and exercise full
control over discipline in the inter
ests of proper service whather the
employees concerned are union or
non-union.
Members of the union are granted
the right to wear union buttons on
duty at all times.
WAGE RATE FIXED.
Section eight fixes the rate of
wages in accordance with agree
ment reached by the board of arbi
tration which provided a 15 per cent
increase for motormen and conduc
tors and provides b cents per hour
additional for mfotormen and con
ductors while in training in addi
tion to their regular rate of pay for
such training service.
Other sections arrange details or
“runs,” hours, and relations of men
and ‘company, that of greatest in
terest to the public being probably
gection twenty-two which provides
that “the association and its mem
bers agree that during the contin
nance of this contract there shall be
no strikes or walkouts by said as
sociation or its members and the
company on its part agrees that dur
ing the continuance of this contract
there shall be no lockouts of the
said association or its members, it
being the mutual desire of both
parties hereto to provide during the
continuance of this contract for un
interrupted, continuous service,
Nothing herein, however, is intended
to prevent the resignation or dis
charge of any individual, all dis
charges being subject to review un
der the condtions and in the manner
hereinbefore provided.”
world—mainly in India and the Malay
regions.
While still plentiful in the inner
swamps and inaccessible places, the
hunt for his hide has brought the
North American alligator face to face
with extermination. But the new
business of alligator farming, being
rapidly developed from Florida to
Southern California, promises to save
him from that tragedy. And, by
the way, no small part of its revenue
arises from the sale of young alli
gator as pets, The Bascos are now
very common. v
City Planning Board Hears of
Success in Other Cities.
Chairman Grant Quits,
Urging Atlanta to establish a pub
lic market in the central business
district and declaring that such a
market is not a competitor of estab
lished business enterprises but a
stimulator of greated trade, McFall
Kerbey Wednesday afternoon dis
cussed before the city planning com
mission the advantages to be gained
by such a market. He said it would
benefit all classes. It would lead to
truck growing on a larger scale,
which means lower prices to consum
er and far prices to producer. He
said it had reduced the cost of living
in other cities and would do it in
Atlanta.
Mr. Kerbey is a representative of
the Bureau of Markets of the United
States agriculturai department.
‘The members of the commission
were surprised at receiving a letter
from John W. Grant, chairman of the
body, tendering his resignation from
the commission, for the reason that
he is leaving for Florida and because
the work promises to demand so
much time that he feels unable to
undertake it. The resignation was
accepted with regret and the choice
of a successor referred to a commit
tee composed of A. J. Orme, Dan W,
Green and Dr. W. L. Gilbert.
NMr. Grant is the fourth member to
resign. The others were Mell R. Wil
kinson, Oscar Elsas and Bernard
Suttler. 1
A. J. Orme, who some years ago
was chairmgn of the City Council’s |
Committee on Public Markets, re
plied to Mr. Kerbey's recommenda
tion of a central market that such
an institution would be difficult to
locate because of the high prices of
real estate in the business district.
He believed it would cost $1,000,000
to establish such a market. 1
OTHER CITIES CITED.
~ Mr. Kerbey went into many de
tails of the movement in many
cities.
“It is a bhenefit to all,” said Mr.‘
Kerbey. ‘“The established markets
show a greater volume of business]
following the establishment of munic
‘ipally directed bureaus of distribu-‘
tion, and the farmers are influenced
to greater production. ‘
“A public market is not a panacea
for the high cost of living, but it is‘
natural that if we Inspire the‘
farmers and truck growers to greater
production and also increase the |
number of producers that a bounti-;
ful supply will have the effect of re
ducing prices, possibly not this yeur,\
but next year. It has had that ef—‘
sect in other cities.
“Cities are greatly concerned
‘about the health of its citizens, its
‘policing and other matters. But it
is just as important that -cities
should be corfcerned in food supply.
Cities should adopt a policy to
‘know all it can about food and its
‘distribution.
~ “Prices may be unnnecessarily
‘high owing to lack of adequate pro
lduction nearby, forcing the food to
come by rail from distant localities.
That means much money goes out
of the municipality. But with a
public market and with the women’s
clubs operating, many difficulties
have been overcome. At first ' the
producers will not come readily to
the market. But the ladies in other
cities have gone out and can
vassed the nearby truck growers and
small farmers and requested them
to bring in anything they had to sell.
Once the farmer had met his trade
directly and received the cash it al
ways inspired him to raise more,
and his experience got his neighbors
to do the same which soon placed
the public market in a position of
having a plentiful supply at lower
prices,
COMPLAINT MET.
“Now to meet the complaint of
competitors of the city cutting in on
their business, the statement is made
that with the farmers having the
extra money from the sale of prod
uce expend these funds for other
things thus balancing matters.
Mr. Kerbey has illustrated slides
showing markets in other cities and
he stated he would be glad to show
them to any interested organization.
He and his assistant, W. MacKenzie
Stevens, will remain in Atlanta the
remainder of the week conferring
with the county agents of the depart
ment of agriculture and making a
general survey of the public market
situation.
Eugene R. Black said the commit
tee of which he is chairman, and
which”had the duty of drafting a re
port stating the definite objects qual
ifying the existence of the City Plan
ning Commission, would report later,
John J. Eagan, chairman on the com
mittee on housing and public wel
fare, reported progress.
J. H. Ewing urged the desirability
of a fund of at least 100,000 to carry
out the work of the commission. He
indicated that a paid secretary was
needed. Mr. Mcßurney, chairman of
the finance committee, replied that
the city, county and Chamber of
Commerce would make the necessary
grants of morey whenever the funds
were needed, but that thus far no ac
tion calling for expenditures had been
taken. Mr. Orme also stated that the
matter of having a paid secretary was
being looked into. It was indicated
that the questions of finances would
be gone into at the next meeting and
an attempt would also be made to
define a policy for the planning com
mission. |

By WILLIAM PHILLIP SIMMS,
Staff Correspondent of the I. N. S.
WASHINGTON, March 18.—If the
treaty is not ratified by the Senate
tomorrow it will be brought up a
third time between now and the June
conventions in a last desperate ef
fort to prevent it from becoming the
chief issue in the political campaign.
Plans for this are aiready under
way and it is said will have the sup
port of William Jennings Bryan and
all those senators whose minds ‘o
along” with his.
Bryan refused to comment upon
what he proposed to ds in the event
the Senate again refuses the pact for
the lack of the two-thirds majority
necessary for ratification. This, he
said, implied doubt in his mind that
the treaty would be ratified and he
could not make any such admission.
BRYAN OPENS FIGHT,
Meantime he is bringing into play
every ounce of his influence in an
eleventh hour effort to swing enough
Democrats to secure sufficient votes
to ratify the treaty with any and
whatever reservations there may be
attached.
It is kncwn, however, that he has
been informed that the chances for
a favorahle outcome are slim.
“I have had very littie opportunity
to talk with the senators,” he sald
today. ‘‘My opinion as to action,
therefore, is based upon the reasons
for it rather than upon a knowledge
of individual opinion,
“I have such faith in the intelli
gence and democracy of the Demo
cratic senators that I am not willing
to believe they will join the irrec
oncilable enemies of the treaty to
defeat what a majority 'of the Sen
ate have agreed upon—l mean by
that the majority of those desiring
ratification, excluding those irrecon
zilables opposed to the treaty.”
Cooper Street Baptist
Church Buys New Site
The Cooper Street Baptist Church
has purchased a lot at South Pryor
and Bass streets to erect a new and
modernly designed church, The lot
was bought from the A. M. Moore
estate and is 60 by 150 feet.
Due to the location of the lot in
the heart of the residential section
of Southeastern Atlanta, it is con
sidered an ideal spot upon which to
erect a house of worship. It is with
in easy reach of four car lines and
the site for the building is elevated
on one of the most traveled streets
of the city.
Increased Attendance
At Dr. Chafer’s Revival
There was greatly increased at
tendance Wednesday night at the
meeting conducted by Dr. L, ‘B.
Chafer at the Pryor Street Presby
terian Church. The singing of Doc
tor and Mrs. Chater was much en
joyed.
Doctor Chafer will continue Thurs
day afternoon the addresses on
“Christian Itlvin_v Under Grace.”
Thursday night at 7:30 o'clock the
subject will be “The Keeping Power
of God,” in the series on “What God
Does for the Saved.”

VA, REPUBLICANG
e |
(By Universal Service.) |
ROANOKE, Va.,, March 18—For
the first time in the State Republi
can convention delegates in session
here were addressed by women. Pres
ijdent Wilson and his policies were
'severely scored. Mrs. John South of
Frankfort, Ky., Mrs. Dexter Otey of
Liynchbhurg, Mrs. John T. Pratt of
New York, and Mrs. M. Caldwell of
Roancke, addressed the conventicn.
All declared that the time has come
for women to take an active part in
the political affairs of the nation.
Mrs. South and Mrs. Pratt are dele
gates in their respective districts to
the national convention. '
WHAT THE PARTY STANDS FOR.
National Chairman Will H. Hays
was the zpeaker of the evening ses
sion and said the Republican party
stands for:
“Honesty, efficient and economic
business administration of the coun
try’s affairs.
“It stands for the development and
execution of a plan for the reduction
of taxes, with repeal ot taxes which
kill initiative, and the spreading of
war debt over a large number of
years.
“There shall be developed a better
relation between labor and capital,
with Jjustice to both and with justice
to the public.
“There shall be an administration
of law and order everywhere in the
nation.
“The party shall measure its steps
forward by the new needs of the na
tion, with . eyes always ahead but
with feet always on solid ground.
“The Republican party offers
women everything we offer the men.
The only just rule for a political
party 1s that the rights of participa
tion in the management of the par
ty’s affairs must be and remain
equally sacred and sacradly equal.!
The Republican women in the coun
try constitute one-half of the party's
membership.”
SHOULD MEET DISCONTENT.
In closing his address, Hays said:
“Find the reason for the discon
tent, and meet it squarely; correct
the cause where there is a cause, and
mercilessly destroy the excuse where
it is an excuse only.”
The delegation instructed to vote
for Governor I.owden of Illinois for
President and Colonel Henry Ander
son of Richmond for vice president.
The delegates named are: Congress
man C. B. Slemp, Joseph Crupper,
H. L. Lawson and D. P. Groner; al
aternates; Mrs. M. M. Caldwell, J. B.
Kimberly, H. B. Crockett and B. B,
Wheeler.
A storm of protest greeted the
Lowden endorsement, many demand
ing an uninstructed delegation, but
the Slemp resolution prevailed 314
to 194.

Former English Pastor Talks at
' ' '
Big Bible Conference in
Tabernacle.
Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, once of
England, but now an American resi
dent, arrived Thursday to deliver an
other series of his famous Bible lec=
tures before the seventeenth annual
Bible Conference at the Baptist Tab
ernacle. Next Monday there will ar«
rive Dr. Lien G. Broughton, founder of
the Tabernacle and its conferences
and for many years a friend of the
London evangelist. Several other no
tables of the church are here for ad
dresses and visitors are expected, as
in the past, from all over the South.
Doctor Morgan seemed but little
changed since his last visit, six years
ago. He is tall, thin and ascetic in
appearance, a little bent with the
years, but still firm of step and
hearty in his shaking hands. He sat
in the reception room of the Piedmont
Hotel for half an hour and chatted,
with an English accept very unlike
the stage variety, with two “press
men,” as he referred to a pair of re
porters,
“I live in America now, you know,”®
he began. “Came over in August, to
stay. We are living at Winona Lake,
Ind. No, I don’t expect to be natural
ized. I'm a bit too old for that, but
my sons probably will be. I am en
gaged in Bible lectures., It is my
field. It is all that I know.”
NOT SENSATIONAL.
Doctor Morgan was willing to diss
cuss almost any subject which report
ers looking for a ‘“story” might ask,
but there was nothing of the sensa«
tional to be had from him., The Lon
doner is not an evangelist of the Billy
Sunday type; indeed, he makes no
claim to being an evangelist at all
His field is an exposition of the
‘meaning of the Bible, which he looks
‘ upon not only as a masterpiece of lit«
erature, but as a work inspired. Per
haps the most striking sentence from
him came in a brief discussion of the
wave of spiritualism which is sweep~
ing England and which also is reach
ing large proportions in this country.
“l believe that these people do
communicate with spirits,” he said.
“But I believe they are evil spiirts. I
believe :n a great underworld of evil.
I look upon this spiritualistic phase
as a grave danger. :
“There is, of course, a psychological
reason for this interest in spiritual
ism. We English lost a million dead
in the great war, and it is natural
that their people should be wondering
where those lads are and trying to
communicate with them. I have
great respect for Sir Oliver Lodge
as a scientist, but he does not know
the first thing about the Christian
revelations. 'The whole spiritual
movement is false.” . :
Doctor Morgan does not believe
that the war had any great influence
upon religicus thought.
“The boys who believed before they
went to France came back, if they did
come back, with their faith strength-«
ened,” he said. “Those who went un
believing came back unbelieving. Of
course, there were exceptions on both
gides. I know of young Christian
men who came back curing religion,
and unbelievers who found the truth
on the battlefield.
BIBLE INTERESTS U. 8.
“I find that the American peopley
like those of England, are tremene
dously interested in the Bible and its
interpretaion. That is my werk,
Fven the average church member
knows little about the Bible. He
knows many texts and several famous
chapters, but he does not know the
beauty and the wisdom and the in=-
spiration of the Book.”
Doctor Morgan has not determined
the scope of his Bible talks here, but
he says he will not go over the same
ground as on former visits. His ad
dresses will be delivered every day
at 11 o’clock and every night at 8
o'clock through the ten days of tne
conference. The conference Wwas
opened Thursday night with one of
his adresses,
Dr. W. M. Evans of Los Angeles
and Chicago, will speak each morn
ing at 10 o'clock and each evening
at 7 o'clock.
Dr. John Paul of Wilmore, Ky.,
will preach each afternoon at &
o'clock.
Dr. George W. McPherson of New
York will preach each afternoon at
'3 o'clock.
Dr. Len G. Broughton, formerly
pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle, bat
now pastor of the First Baptist
Church of Knoxville, Tenn, will ar
rlve in Atlanta Monday and from
then until the end of the conference
will speak each afternoon at 4 o'clock.
Preceding each session of the con
ference a song service will be held
'under the leadership of Capt. D. L.
Spooner, musical director at the
Tabernacle, assisted by the Rev.
Lawrence Young of Los Angeles.
SONGS AND SERMONS.
Two . things will characterize the
conference—first the evangelical
quality of the sermons, which will
deal with subjects of glth and not
of theology; secondly, the song serv
ices, which will consist of familiar
hymns sung by the large audiences
and by a choir of eighty voices.
Letters received by the Tabernacle
pastor, the Rev. John W. Ham, show
that visitors will be present from
every part of the South. Various ed
ucational instit_.ions have asked to’
have special reservations made for,
the student bodies at sessions of the
conference. And Tabernacle work
ers who are distributing posters n §
nouncing dates and speakers havg
found deep interest in Atlanta in th®
conference.
“I wish to emphasize again,” sis
Mr. Ham, “that the conference is §§
every one, and not for any lrdle:
group. The doors of the Tabei g ¢
are open. Every one in W
urged to come. A
