THE COMRSiBS
OF H 8008
Rev. Howard T. Cree Took
This for the Subject of a
Strong Sermon Sunday
Night. •
At the First Christian church Sun
day evening. Rev. Howard T. Cree
took for the subject of his sermon,
“The Conversion of a Good Man.”
We are accustomed, he said, to
think that conversion and salvation
is for the bad man, the sinner, the
man who is utterly abandoned. Christ,
said he, has a message for the good
man as well as the bad man, the
wholly vicious man. The Bible war
rants this statement, and in illustra
tion he told the story of the rich
young ruler, who had all Ills days
kept every commandment, but who,
in the presence of Christ, the man
of matchless purity, the son of God,
he felt that there was something
lacking in his life. So he aksed of
Christ the question, “What must I
do to be saved? What is lacking in
my life?”
There is something lacking, said
Mr. Cree, in the life of every man, no
matter how good. Where, he asked,
could now bo found a man who, like
the rich young ruler, lived in strict
keeping with all the commandmenls?
Saul, for instance, was a man who
lived in all good conscience until he
met Christ, and then he felt, the need
of conversion and salvation. He
He needed conversion as much as
the sinful woman of the parable, or
the thief on the cross.
Of course the transition would not
be so great, In the conversion of a
good man, as the whole change that
comes over a vicious man, a man of
sin. when he finds salvation, said Mr.
Cree, but nevertheless there is a mes
sage from Christ, to evory man, for
every man has sinned.
Story of Cornelius.
The story of Cornelius was used
as an Illustration of tho good man's
need .for conversation. It Is said In
the Bible that Cornelius was a good
and splendid man.
First In the good character of Cor
nelius was taken up his reverence.
He is said to have been a devout
man, of reverence for God, and hum
ble. The men, said Mr. Cree, who
have the greatest grasp of the facts
of life, are the most, humble, the moat
reverent men. A man who hopes to
make his life better must be rever
ent. If tliere Is one thing in modern
life to be feared most, than all oth
ers, urged Mr. Cree, it is the ten
dency of Irreverence. Granting that,
in this life there were no angel whis
perings as there were irt the case of
Cornelius, Mr. tho point
that a man of reverence is peculiar
ly fitted for ;t Divine Impression.
Reverence, and only reverence, makes
possible a good Impression, a spir
itual Intuition of good. Reverence
makes possible a higher resolve, a
nobler Impulse,
And. too, by the story of the Bible,
Cornelius was a generous man, a
man who gave liberally of almß to
the poor. His ear was open to God
in his reverence, and his purse wasi
open to man In his generosity. But I
Cornelius was not a star gazer, lost j
in reverential contemplation. He I

heard the piteous cries for need sent
up by those who gathered about his
promises, and he gave generously to
help his fellow man. Generosity, Mr
Cree said, is another condition of
growing in good, and without it the
growth of spirit is retarded. Nothing
so Minds the eye and deafens the
ear toward God as a selfishness and
greed. The selfish man is Insensible
to Divine impressions and good im
pulses. No man is so far in Ihe way
of good as (lie man of generous
means, generous judgement and gen
erous opinions.
Philosophy of Prayer.
And with all his other virtues,
Cornelius, the central figure of this
sermon that a good man needs con
version, was a man of prayer. He
prayed to God always, in Ihe lan
guage of the Scripture. Mr. Cree
made the statement that a man’s pos
slhllitles in life are measured by his
devotion to prayer. Not the mere
m hanteal action of kneeling, which
we are pleased to term prayer, said
he, but. communion with God, whether
On the street, in the office, the home
or 1n the Divine sanctuary. Illus
trating the power of prayer, he told
a story of the learned skeptic, the
son of Kdward Everett Halo, who ac
cepted an eloquent preacher’s chal
lenge to test the power of Christian
ity by communion with God, and who
was converted.
Mr. Cree said that he could not ex
plain the philosophy of prayer, any
more than he could explain the phtl
osophy or the exact scientific reason
why tne wireless operator oil Iho
sinking ship could send out a call for
help through the fog, and find an an
swer.
The conclusion was an eloquent ex
hortation to hold reverence, generoß
ity and prayer as the three essentiui
conditions for a better life. The ser
mon was thoughtful, logical and made
a strong spiritual appeal. It was well
received, and left a marked impres
sion.
lie'll LORGNETTE
It Is a truly delightful circumstance
that enables us of Augusta to have
Mr. Barrington Branch make his de
hut as a pianist in his home city at
the spring musical festival when the
attention of the whole music-loving
world will be attracted to us, and
when ho will be accompanied by Dam
roach's famous orchestra.
It is not true that a prophet is not
without honor save in his own coun
try, not true in this instance at least;
for although the plaudits showered
upon Mr. Branch upon the occasions
of his recitalß In Hie great, northern
cities have been loud and continuous,
and the praise bestowed upon him
has been both cordial and discriminat
ing, It is safe to say that, the recep
tion that awaits him in Augusta wilt
be so enthusiastic as to convince one
to that to be an artist at home, to be
a professional of the great outside
world, ami yet at the same time to
lie an Augusta boy among his own
people, is to be blessed as are few
mortals.
When we read and hear the beauti
ful things said of Mr. Branch's work,
we are rather apt to lose sight of the
fact tfiat, he Is so very young. What
he has accomplished—and lhat Is a
great heal has been achieved during
the comparatively few years (joytraily
devoted to a common school education.
What he may yet accomplish lies In
the years before mm, years that will
be many should his be the promised
three score years and ten. The enthu
siasm In the Idealism of his youth
compensate hlfrfkind his hearers for
the necessary lack of experience, and
his work Is all the more delightful be.
cause of the spontaneous freshness of
his conceptions and the untired bright
ness of his interpretations.
In his inimitably clever little cur
tain speech given in response so an
overwhelming encore at the Grand
the other night, Tint Murphy, In speak
ing of the way In which the world at
large waited for the verdict of New
York in regard to a play before giving
any sign of its own approval had this
pertinent thing to say of hats.
The brilliant comedian’s own words
cannot be recalled, but his remark
watt something to this effect;
“If the most beautiful creation In
the shape of a hat that was ever
evolved from a milliner artist’s fertile
brain and skilful fingers were given
the average woman accompanied by
the Information that the hat came
from Tlmbuctoo, she would have none
of it, while a perfect monstrosity might
come from Parts or New Yors and he
hailed with a rapture knowing no

He might have gone further, had he
not had other more Interesting things
to tell, to say how merit and name
worship cause endless confusion In
the world of nffalrs, how the artist,
who Is worthy but unknown, finds it
difficult to place his work, while verit
able daubs from Hie man with a name
are hailed with ncelatm and paid for
in many thousands.
He might iilho have said this, only
another man has said it, and said It
so pertinently that we quote him ver
batim :
"The world lias been too long de
luded by big mimes, In evory depart
ment of our civilization, mid It. is fit
ting that the “show-me" spirit, which
as a rule, does prevail In business,
should extend its Influence to art. and
literature, rather than that the follies
of name-worship In art and letters
should affect business judgment. It, Ib
interetlng to observe In this connec
tion that the word ’prestige’ first
meant illusion.”
A good deal of comment has been
made oil an article appearing tn The
Atlantic Monthly, In which some in
teresting observations have been made
regarding imagination in business,
and its value as a part of one’s stock
in-trade. The writer tells the story
of two boot-blacks, oi.e of whom had
us good a stand as the other, and
both of whom were equally well equip
ped In all things except the tremen
dous gift of imagination.
The cry of the first boy was, "Shine
your boots here.” It announced the
simple fact that he was prepared to
shine their boots. The cry of the
second hoy was, "Get your Sunday
shine!” It wns then Saturday after
noon, and the hour wrh 4 o’clock. This
second hoy employed Imagination. He
related one attraction to another; he
joined facts together; his four simple
words told all that the first boy said,
and a great deni more. It conveyed
the information, nol simply that he
was there to shine shoos, but that to
morrow was? Sunday; that. R was like
ly to be a pleasant day; that he, us a
bootblack, realized they would need an
oxtru good shine; and, somehow, the
sentence had In it agi 'e reminder
that the person on whose ears it fell
had heretofore overlooked the fact that

any self-respecting Christian would
wish Ills shoes shined before he re
paired to the sanctuary. Was it mere
ly good luck that, this boy eecured
twice the business of the other?
Tills little story suggests the thought
of the reasons why some salesmen
are so much more valuable than oth
ers, why some men can always com
mand big salaries while others do
not. It Is never the clerk who force*
a sale that proves valuable to hls
employers, but rather the clerk who
satisfies the customer. A cane In point
came within the experience of a wom
an recently who had occasion to vis
it a city much larger than Augusta
and who made a few purchases of
some certain articles that she had not
been able to secure here. In one shop
she entered she asked for a certain
clerk and In a very few minutes ob
tained exnctly what she wanted, mak
ing a purchase that, wan satisfactory
to both herself and the salesman.
When she came out she said to a
friend:
“I always like to buy things from
that man, because he seems so much
more euger to see that I am perfectly
content with what I buy than to sell
me what my sober reasoning con
vinces me I do not want or need. The
consequence Is, I generally make a big
bill with him twice a year, although
l am perfectly Indifferent to the firm
with which lie Is connected.
They next day she went to a shoo
store to get a certain kind of bronze
slipper which the firm. In common
with u good many other firms, did not
have. To make a long story short,
the clerk literally hypnotized the wom
an Into buying a pair of slippers not
evenly remotely resembling In size or
doßign what she had desired. It Is
Impossible to describe his manner, hut
his whole attitude was that If she did
not buy she had shamefully wasted
his time. The slippers, proving al
together impossible, had to be re
turned the next day. There are two
women who will hereafter avoid that
clerk as though he hud the plague;
and It 1b only because of their Chris
tian charity that they did not com
plain to his employer of his objection
able manner. Yet, he sold the goods,
and many cases the short-sip’'ted em
ployer will look only to that, fact and
will not stop to ask himself whether
or not the customer will ever come
