BELL SERVICE IS SATIS FACTORY. Rev. Father John E. Gtinn delivered the first of a series of lectures on the trouble In France between the church and state Sunday morning In the Sa cred Heart church at high mass. The article written by Father Gunn for The Georgian. In which the matter was fully discussed, aroused consider able Interest In the subject and ns a result it was to a large congregation that the gifted and eloquent 'Catholic scholar spoke Sunday. Beginning with the making of the concordat—the treaty between Franco and the Vatican by Napoleon—Father Gunn discussed the articles of tills measure and pointed out the errors In the reports sent out from France to the newspapers. He called attention to the fact that the state had a subsidised press and that the Vatican had no such channel of publicity In which to scat ter its side of the question to the people of the civilised world. For this reason he urged hln hearers to-bellow In ac cepting the reports sent v out from France, but to wait and hear the other side. Father Gunn pointed out five errors about five essential factors In the mis understanding. He named these as fol lows: The concordat, the separation law, the parish associations feature, the authority of France and the probu- ble Issue of It nil. Then he discussed each feature In Itself, reciting the history of each, and went Into every detail In an interesting manner. Owing to the breadth of the subject and the necessity of going Into It In de tail, the lectures will be continued by Father Gunn for several Sundays. IKE PRODIGAL SON, SUBJECT OF SERMON I "The Prodigal Son” was t\ie subject of a sermon by Dr. Broughton Sunday night, which was one of the strongest and most forceful ever heard In Atlan ta* Dr. Broughton took his text from Luke xv.. 11-13. Dr. Broughton stated that what In hls mind caused so much failure on the part of young men Is a fnlse conception of life. This, he said, Is shown, firs:, by the "crasy disposition on their part to get away front home and home -in fluences;" second, "the extravagant manner In which young men spen.l what they get;" third, "this fnlse Idea of life is shown In the exhibition of their Impudent dependence." „ VIVA 8HOT THROUGH WINDOW WHERE MAN WAS ASLEEP.

Washington, Dec. 17.—Congressman John A. Moon, representing the Third Tennessee district, will be named as tho n-nv member of the rivers and bar bor committee. Thut this will be the result of the re cent effort on the part of the Georgia delegation to secure one of their own number as successor to the vacancy on the committee caused by the death of Congressman Lester la certain. Minority Leader John Sharp Wil liams had fixed upon Congressman Small for the place, but the North (’arollna congicssman Is not acceptable to Speaker Cannon, whose dictum is final !n such matters. Congressman Moon's appointment Is dependent upon hls acceptance of the place. It wns tendered him unofficial v Inst week, hut he did not* then signify hls Intentions as regards It. It Is im probable, however, that he wlil de cline a committeeship so eagerly sought by all of the states. In tho sixtieth congress another va cancy on this committee will be created by the retirement of Congressman John H. Bankhead, of Alabama. The Democrats have centered on CongxJes- mnn John L. Burnett, of Alabama, for this vacancy, and It Is pretty sure that • will be the limn. Advocates of opening the Coosa rlv er to the gulf will rejoice In the proa pi.ct of getting Congressman Burnett on the committee, ns hls district lies along this Important stream, and he Is an ardent advocate of Coosu river Im provement.
