SEVERAL CHURCHES
No Services at Bijou Today But
a Mass Meeting For Men
Sunday Afternoon.
GATHERING WILL BE HELD
AT FIRST METHODIST
Dr. Cleveland Will Address the
Assembly and a Special Musi
cal Program Has Been Ar
ranged by W. H, Taylor.
One of the most interesting and
helpful services of the evangelistic
-campaign now in progress in the city
was that for men at the Bijou yes
-torday. Dr, W. A. Cleveland, the
speaker, was at his best and his
earnest message made a profound
impression. The theme of the dis
course was “The Reward of Christ
ian Service,” based upon the Mast
er’s reply to Peter when that dis
crnle remqided Jesus that he and his
fellow apostles had left all to fol
low him.
Dr. Cleveland insisted that we are
not to espouse the cause of Christ
from mercenary motives; we are not
jo follow for the loaves and fishes. At
the same time, he explained, nothing
pays so well as the Christian life.
Fidelity to the Lord gives one a name
which is above rubies. He referred
to the statement of J. P. Morgan, one
of the world’s greatest financiers,
that “character and not wealth is
the basis of credit,”, and told of an
experience in the life of Mr. Mor
gan when the latter gave to a cer
tn man a check for one million dol
lars, knowing that the recipient did
not own a dollar in the world. Christ
will see to it, the speaker said, that
the man who consecrates his life to
him loses nothing by so doing. Clos
ing the message, lie spoke of the
Christian’s hope of brighter, better
tilings in tlpo world to come. That
hope, said he, we would not give for
all the treasures -of this earth. When
the minister asked those who would
pledge themselves to follow and be
faithful to Christ to stand, the re
sponse was almost unanimous.
No service w’ll he held at the Bijou
today but arrangements liav e been
made for „ great mass meeting for
men at ‘the First. Methodist church
j Sunday, afternoo,, at 3:30. This will

URGENT NEED OF
RED CROSS GROWS
Mr. and Mrs. W. S Nathan Back
From Nat'onal Convention in
Washington—Report Great
Meeting Was Held.
According to reports brought back
by Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Nathan, : who
hav e just returned from the nation
al convention of the American Red
Cross, held in Washington recently,
there is greater need of the Red
Cross :n the world today than ever
before.
, The Red Cross, which is an inter
national organization is the only
agency of its kind which can be call
ed upon at a moment’s notice for rt>
I'ef work of a vast extent. For this
I reason, it was the first to rush aid t.c!
those unfortunate Christian fugitives
in Greece, who are dying of starva
tion and disease. The Red Cros s has
, sent food, cloth’ng and nurses to the
j stricken urea and stands ready to
give all it has if necessary to furnish
adequate relief to these sufferers.
Through no ether agency could this
relief have been obtained with the
speed and dispatch .furnished by the
, Red Cross.
Tlii s idea was most strongly con
veyed by Judge John Barton Payne,
Chief Justice Taft, General John J.
Pershing, Mrs. August Belmont and
other noted personages, who address
ed the convention during its three
days session.
Greatest enthusiasm prevail" 1
among the delegates, who gathered
from all sections of the country, in
regard to the future programs of the
Red Cross chapters.
Referring to local conditions: Mrs.
Nathan, who has accepted the chair

Splendid Organization.
SEVERAL OTHER QUESTS
MADE INTERESTING TALKS
Hon. Robert C. Neely, Waynes
boro, Member of State High
way Department Pays Peo
ple of Brunswick Compliment.
The Young Men’s Club played host
to the local and visiting clergymen
yesterday who are conducting a great
series of relig ous meetings i n the
city and all of them were invited to
the one o’clock dinner meeting o.f the
club. Most of them came and they
succeeded i n adding a charm and a
delight to the gathering.
Those present were: Rev. L. E.
Roberts, for several years pastor of
the Frst Baptist church of this city,
now of Atlanta; Rev. W. A. Cleve
land of Jacksonville; Rev. F. D.
Thomas of the Presbyterian church
and Rev. Sadtler of the St. James
Lutheran church. All of th e minis
ters, a, the invitatio n of the chair
man, made interesting talks and each
in turn pointed out the value of such
an organization as the Young Men’s
club to any community. They ex
pressed the belief that Brunswick had
finally learned how to do things and
predicted anew era of growth and
development for her in the immediate ■
future. /
State Highway Commissioner R. C.
Neally, of Waynesboro, was also a
guest of tiie club and he made quite
an interesting talk. H e stressed the
fact that Brunswick and Glynn coun
ty had always evinced a keen interest
in the great subject of better high
ways and roads and paid the people
of the community a neat compliment
o n their progressiveness.
L. N. Sutton, of the Georgia divis- '
ion of tiie Bell Telephone company, !
was another guest who talked in- i
terestingly on the scope o,f the work j
of his company and startled the mem- j
bars with the statement that here in '
Brunswick almost eleven thousand;
tails are answeed in th e local ex
change every day.
A. G. Wetherald, of Philadelphia, i
was also a guest and made a brief j
talk to the members of the club, as |
did Manager Spencer of .the Grand j
Opera House. Mr. Spencer urged J
that more attention be paid to the
question of keeping the state high
way in good shape between here and
Savannah and here and Jacksonville.
He volunteered his aid and that of the
Grand in any movement looking to
the betterment of the community.
It was unanimously and enthusias
tically agreed to suspend the regu- j
lar meet'ug for Friday next and go J
to St. Simon to be the guests of the
St. Simon Board of Trade at an old
fashioned barbecue to be given on that
date. A special boat will leave the
city at 11:30 o’clock in the morning
scheduled to return in the early aft
ernoon. Chairman Scarlett is anx
ious for every member of the club to
take in this trip.
L. Ludwig, thg newest member of
the organization was at the meeting
and on invitation made a neat little
talk, which was appreciated by the
other members.

understanding Occured.
Atlanta, Oct. 20.—The Democratic
State Executive Committee heard the
contests of Judge E. C. Butts, of
Brunswick v.. Judge J. P. Highsmith
of Baxley thi s morning and this af
ternoon decided against Judge Butts,
declaring Judge Highsmith to be the
nominee.
The decision was rendered or a
technically ai.d the merits of the con
testant clain was not entered into.
WHAT THE TECHNICALITY IS
The action ol the Democratic Ex
ecutice Oommitte, above refrerred to
was rather unexpected here in Bruns
wick. It is thought that the techm
cality referred to i“ the fact that
Judge Butts didn’t file his protest and
notice of contest with the Appling
cemmittee i n time. It is claimed that
the state rules require notice of con
test to be given to the county com
mittee befor e the vote is consolidat
ed and the result declared. How
ever in the printed rules as sent out
by th e state committee to the local
committees, including the Glynn
county committee, this provision was
omitted. Judge Butts also took the
position that he had no way of know
ing that such a large number of ille
gal votes w-er e cast in Appling coun
ty until after the executive committee
I of that county had consolidated the
returns.
