the Greene Street Presbyterian
Church, will preach the last of his se
ries of sermons on “Glorious Things
That We Know.” The subject of tha
evening discourse will be, “Assurance
of Immortality.” Dr. MacFerrin has
made a deep study of the subjects in
which he has been preaching during
the series, and the congregation has
teen delighted with the sermons. As
this evening will close the series, it
will likely draw a larger congregation
than usual. Services will begin at
8:30 o’clock. The choir has arrang
ed a splendid program of music. Tit?
public cordially invited to attend.
Last of Dr. Jones' Series on
“Why | Am a Baptist.”

of the First Baptist Church, will
preach the last of a series of ser
mons on “Why lAm a Baptist.” The

of the Baptist position by one who
knows. Dr. Jones believes that the
Baptist position is in harmony with
the New Testament and the spirit of
Democracy. He has been heard by
growing congregations, and as this
will close the series it is certain a
large congregation will hear him. Sar

Rev. 0. Croft Williams Will Leave This
Week For St. John's Episcopal Church,
Chailestcn, S. C.
Rev. G. Croft Wiliams for number
of years pastor Christ's Episcopal
church, this city, will leave Augusta
this wek for his new field of labor
at St. John's Episcopal church,
Charleston, S. C. This will take from
Augusta one of her most interestingg
and wide awake ministers, and will
mean much for the religious life
the city by the sea. It is with regret
on the part of all denominations and
particularly the people of his own
church that -Augusta gives up this
ernest man of God, true friend of the
people.
A Success.
His work here ha/; been an unquali
fied success. Christ’s church has ex
panded in mus. every direction till to
uay it ministers to most every hu
man need. During these hot days wh e
most people have longed for the woods
and the streams, for some place where
they could have relief from the heat,
the boys c Christ's church have found
the swimming a present help in time
or trouhh\ This and all departments
of thi church are in splendidcondition,
and the successor to the Rev. Win,
Williams will find it an easy natter to
carry forward a work so well organiz
ed and prepared for the future.
Mr. '' illiams has taken interest in
all things pertaining to the city's wel
fan . When asked for a statement as
to what he thought of the future he
said:
Like All Other Cities.
‘ Augusta, like all other cities to
day, is slowly adjusting herself to
the changing social ar.d industrial or
ders; this necessarily influences her
rciigioua activities.

Physical Effort for Moral Advancement
“It isn’t so much what you do. but the things you leave undone; that
gives you so much of a heartache at the setting.of the sun.”
Some day, some time, some way, we all hope to help in the ever
widening field of public uplift.
Some method will be suggested, some plan will be outlined, some
thought promoted, and each expects to get behind and under it and
help.
Since the formation of the world society has been advancing, some
times, we thought, perhaps, the steps were feeble, some times we felt the
advance was slight.
But since thse dawn of the ages, since the advent of man. since the
birth of Christ, especially since the Sermon on the Mount, we have
known that the advance h certain even if it is slow.
hverv great mo\ ement has advanced because there were strom*
characters believing in it.
Every step has been made with the assurance of friendly interest and
of active help from those who thought, believed, knew the end to be at
tained was worth more than the effort to accomplish it.

and will fill his regular appointments
today. The encampment has been
very successful this year. The spleu
did weather has made the occasion
one of great comfort, and pleasure.
The encampment will close about
Tuesday of this week.
Dr. Wiggins on “The Canteen.”
Rev. S’. P. Wiggins, D. D., pastor of
St. John's Methodist Church, will
preach the last of his series at 8:30
p. m. today. The subject will he "The
Canteen." Dr. Wiggins will discuss
the temperance question as related to
the nation. The sermon will be
pointed and worth hearing. Dr. Wig
gins is a fearless preacher, and the
series of sermons on modern perils
has been most favorably spoken of.
The Knights of Pythias will worship
with the church at this hour.
At the morning service the theme,
“Should Education Be Christian?”’
will be discussed by Dr. Wiggins.
“Are the Scriptures Inspired.”
Rev. O. P. Gilbert, pastor of the
Second Baptist Church, corner D’An
tignac and llt’n, will preach at the
morning service on the theme, “Are
the Scriptures Inspired?” At the
night service he will preach on “The
Bitile and Future Punishment.” These
themes are of interest to the public,
and always find a large hearing when
handled frankly. It is the purpose of
the pastor to discuss these questions
as he sees them. Morning service at
11:15 a. m., evening service begins
at 8:30 nad wil close within an hour.
All invited to attend.
years ago I have noticed an advance,
peril ps a small one. in the churches
realizing their responsiblllitv to the
commlunity. The pulpits have become
ireer in their utterances, men and wo
men have begun to talk in the terms
of a Christianity that has climbe-l
over tile churchyard fence, and church
societies and clubs arc entering imo
the larger growth and spirit of the
community as much as the secular as
sociation have hitherto done.
Generation Ago.
*IA generation ago if a minister ad
vertissd that he would preacli on
“Hell” he got a good congregation;
now if; he wishes to have the most
intelligent and righteous folk to at
tend his preaching lie takes such a
theme as “Christ’s Call to the City."
"Not that pergonal religion is neg
lected, it is simply emphasized in its
far-reaching relations. All social re
ligion must rest 011 the basis of per
sonal religion. However, the churches,
in an age of trmendous up
heaval in all departments ot thought
and life, could not but be moved to
enthusiasm by the new spirit of things.
"At Christ church I have endeavor

founders of that splendid work: to

have never undertaken a work of so
cial 1 uplift but ttmt they unfailingly
gave me their support. This spirit is
a cha acteristie of the place and is an
indication of what may be expected
of the future of religion here. The
dominant religion of a few years
hence will be the carrying of the love
that Christ taught into the store, the
shop, the factory, the nnmeipnlitj.
This is the kind of religion that gll

gusta District Conference will con

D. Walker.
Why a Pastor Should Not Be a

Aeroplane to Destroy
Enemy’s "War Birds”
Paris.—The military aviation com
mission has finally adopted a type of
aeroplane intended solely for destroy
ing an enemy's aeroplanes and dirigi
bl es.
For obvious reasons it is not pos
sible to give the secret details of its
construffion. but the fact that it ha.*-
passed satisfactory tests means that
it is a machine armor-clad with spe
cial steel plating capable of carrying
a pilot and passenger and a sufficient
quantity of petrol and special bombs
and other projectiles. The type just
approved fulfills three conditions: it
lias u speed of 85 miles an hour, at
tains a height of 1.600 feet in three
minutes, four seconds, and starts or
comes down in an enclosure of 150
yards surrounded by 6-foot walls
without rolling more than 80 yards.
These performances are much bet
ter than the minimum required, and
as they have been officially controlled,
admit of no doubt. No dirigibles, or,
indeed, aeroplane, could have much
chance of escaping from the fire of
one of these invulnerable air scouts
when once sighted and pursued.

gin his work there on the first of July.
Mr. Harris will succeed tlie Rev. r, ;\f.
Galphin. who goes to the Baptist
church of Seneca, S. C.
Mr. Harris will lie greatly missed in
Augusta, where tic has taken an active
part in tlie work of his denomination,
and the cause in general, It is with
regret thill Ills friends see him leave
tlie city, lie has been a. brave, fear
less preacher, and his heart and In
fluences have been on the side of right.
Ills church has made progres under
his ministry, and it will be a difficult
matter to locate a man who is so well
qualified to do such a splendid ser
vice. The ministers of tlie city will
miss his council and his earnest lead
ership. Bu* it is thought lie will con
tinue his membership in the Baptist
pastors conference, and the Protestant
Pastors Association. This will be
gratifying news to his friends

France Facing Financial
Crisis; Near Bankruptcy
Paris.—SigiiH are not wanting that
Franco is facing a financial crisis
Mr. Aimond, Reporter of the Senate
Finance Gommitte. indicates In a
report that tile country must take
steps to ensure receipts amounting to
about $120,000,000 within the next
two months—or face bankruptcy.
He suggests several means of avoid
ing disaster. One is a great national
loan and another is u general tax on
capital and Income, which, without,
Inquisitorial methods, should yield
about $40,000,000. A third is further
Indirect taxation on the manufactur
ers, dealers and consumers of ab
sinthe and all alocoholic beverages.
Tills last Is estimated to yield about
$40,000,000.
In an explanatory article written
for tlie “Matin,” M. Ailtnond lavs
stress on r»ie benfits of the Btitish
system of taxation. “After the
Transvaal War,” he says, “The Eng
lish did not hesitate to tax acquired
wealth by raising tlie income Inx, In
creasing Ihe estate duty and deriving
many millions from spirits, beer and
tea."
M. Aimond's views were the chief
subjects of discussion in political cir
cles. It is generally believed that
they will to a large extent lie accept
ed by the New Chamber of Deputies.
You remember the last Dollar Day
in Augueta? There’s going to be an
other one soon. Watch for it, in the
Augueta Herald.
Every good citizen realizes that the cause of humanity, of social
progress and moral advance is centered in the church.
Every good citizen probably feels that some time, some way, some
inspiration, some purpose will put him in line of helping those who are
trying to strengthen the church.
But time is fleeting, days are passing, opportunities are slipping
away and the work is not done as it might Ire done.
Everyone has some talent which would help in the general move
ment Jo give broader strength to the great moral advance.
Some are making the most of their talents, others are burying
them, perhaps in selfishness, in hope that the talent may not be lost!
Believe, and make the world believe; your will is set to win; believe!
belief’s contagious, you’ll help others and yourself!
Each has some substantial beliefs in what the church is and what
it is striving for; each has known the advantage of the church; what it
has meant to him —what it should mean for others.
Every Sunday presents opportunities to strengthen this church in
fluence; every week offers opportunities to make your belief stronger.
Did you ever notice the music of the church bells- how it rings an
invitation; how it seems to reach through dead walls and call to the
world to be up and doing. Why not respond—and helpV

Home of Anarchist a
Veritable Bomb Factory
Paris - An exciting arrest was made
near Lyons of a dangerous madman
named Pochotisc. Pechouse, who has
bo; 11 reported to the police as an an
archist, dll not yield \Yithout a
lierce struggle In tlie course of which
he attempted 10 use n knife and an
HUtom (tic revolver. Stripped ano
searched, ha was Found to have sev
eral bombs concealed about him. One
of them, and the must dangerous, was
an intricate afilair. The bomb was
held in place In tile small of his back
by wires which were connected with
an electric switch on his chest. The
police exploded this bomb in a pjece
of/Waste ground near the town. It
proved a most formidable machine,
which, had it burst, among a crowd,
would have blown, not only Its
wearer, bin his immediate neighbors,
to pieces.
Pochous-wt lodgings ( roved to be a
veritable bomb lactory. Among other
infrrnnl machines found there was a
travelling bag, tilled in such a way
as to explode when opened. Fortun
ately for the police, it lacked the fin
ishing touches at the time of their
exaniinatiQUs.
Pechouse appears to be a bomb
maniac. In 1910 he was convicted of
having placed in the streets of Lyons
a parcel which exploded, doing con
