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. _ "Since my coniing to this city four 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. from the encampment at Flat Rock 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 ed to carry out the intentions of the founders of that splendid work: to make the church the social center of West End. The West End Free I>l brary vith over twelve hundred readers; the Boys’ Home, with its family of ten lads; the swimming pool, where this time of the year water seems to he thicker than blood; the clubs, societies and guilds—all these show hew far we have gone in carry ing out this ideal. Brotherly Relations. “Tiiere has been a most kind and “For God Sent Not His Son into the World to Condemn the World, But That the World Through Him Might Be Saved” brotherly relatition between the re ligious people of Augusta and myself, regarldless of religious affiliations. 1 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 sorts and conditions of people can un derstand and can give themselves to. ” SESSION OF AUGUSTA DISTRICT CONFERENCE * Will Convenue at the Asbury Church on the Night of July 6th—To Perfect Organiza tion. Tlie approaching session of the Au gusta District Conference will con vene at Asbury Church on the night ot July 6th, and Rev. M. K.

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.

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."

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.
