Mr. Durham Farther Explains His Belief Stands By Original Declarations. Reiterating his former declarations regarding the various historic theories of the atonement, Rev. Plato Durham at Trinity Methodist church last eve ning, gave a lucid and logical explana tion of the position which he has ta ken, further convincing his hearers of the correctness cf his position the speaker emphatically declared his be lief in the salvation of God through Jesus Christ, but refused to acquiesce to any formal creed or statement of what he refered to as the central fact of God's revelation to man and the through which we come to salvation" "There is truth in all of these terms ransom, substitution, . etc, which I be lieve every thinking man understands" "He gave his life for us; he suffered instead of us for his love was infinite and he did die in our behalf. Love is sacrifice and He gave his life ' the greatest sacrifice." "This night I 'stand a sinner saved by the grace of God I know nothing about the quibbling over a commercial transaction but I defy philosophy or skepticism to sweep away from me the simple knowledge that God has brought me back to Him." The sermon was heard by a large congregation and many who had per haps misunderstood a former sermon central fact of human history, a fact on the atonement were last night con that Protestants believe exists in per- vinced of the correctness of the doc- sonal experience. The arguements used ; trine of the atonement as expounded by Mr. Durham against the ransom, substitution, governmental and other theories were repeated last night. The trouble" said the speaker, "is that men will pick out one word or saying of Paul or Christ and base their whole theory on this when it is only just to take the teachings of Christ or Paul in their entirety," "It is the worst blasphemy that men can utter to say that Jesus Christ suf fered the penalty of degredation and death for sin, and yet this is what the ransom theory teaches. Why the church a thousand years ago refused this teaching." " "Taking the substitution theory no reasonable man can believe that God is satisfied with punishment instead of righteousness and yet the theory teaches such to be true. If God de manded perfect righteousness he could not be willing to take the pun ishment of his Son instead: Mr. Durham clearly stated his own belief in the following words: "A union with Christ is the means by Mr. Durham in his eloquent and earnest manner, Your stomach churns and digests the food that you eat and if foul, or torpid, or out of order, your whole sys tem suffers from blood poison.

Chambers, submitted the following report to Judge Henry R. Bryan: To the Honorable Henry R. Bryan, Judge Presiding at said Term: The grand jury of Mecklenburg county at said term submit to the Court the following report: We have received and passed on 162 bills and have returned 147 true bills and 15 not true bills and eight bills have been continued for further evi dence. Court House. We have inspected the County Court House and find the building to be in good condition.excepta leak on the west side of the Superior Court room, and tbe flooring m the vault in the Regis ter of Deeds office is in need of repair. which matters are called to the atten tion of the County Commissioners. We recommend that a section of the filing cases in the Register of Deeds office be exchanged for a section of cases for books m the Clerk of the Court's office, such shelving being needed in the Reg isters office and not needed in the Clerk of the Superior Court's office. County Jail. We have visited and inspected the County Jail and we do not find it in good condition. The roof on the north side is in a leaky condition and has caused the plastering to fall from the ceiling in two rooms. . We recommend that the roof be repaired at once. We find the entrance to the kitchen needs cover or something to prevent the water from entering the room and basement during a rain. We think this repair is badly needed and we recom mend that same.be promptly attended to. We find that there is not sufficient room in the jail for the accommoda tion of the prisoners. They are very much crowded and many of the prison ers are infected with lice; they com plain or not having sufficient heat in the building, and some of them say tney do not have blankets and are com pelled to sleep on- the hard cement floor. We think it necessary that steps be taken at once to remedy the defects in the County Jail, as above stated, we find the fence and grounds around the jail in a dilapidated condi tion and we urge the County Commis sioners to see that these improvements be made without further delay. County Home. We have visited and inspected the County Home and we find everything in a fairly satisfactory condition. The inmates claim that the building is not sufficiently heated for comfort in cold weather; we also find that the building is not kept in a good sanitary condi tion. The Superintendent says that these conditions are due from the fact that he has not sufficient help to do the work, and we recommend that the County Commissioners investigate the matter, and if they find the above con ditions are true, we would recommend that they provide sufficient help to keep the ' Home in a good and satis factory condition. County Home for the Colored. We have visited and inspected the County Home for Colored People and we do not find it in a satisfactory con dition. The building is in poor repair and is not large enough to hold the in mates which are now there, and keep them in a decent and comfortable con dition. We recommend that something be done as promptly as possible to bet ter the conditions now existing at the Colored Home. Convict Camps. We have visited both camps of the county convicts and find them both to be in a very satisfactory condition. The prisoners say that they are treated kindly and are well fed and clothed and the stock is in good condition. Respectfully submitted, " W. J. CHAMBERS, Foreman of the Grand Jury. A SPLENDID LECTURE. WARMER TOMORROW. That Is the Prediction For Charlotte and Vicinity. The weather man says the present "spell" of beautiful weather is to con tinue, certainly through Tuesday? The local forecast is "fair tonight and Tues day." Mr. Bennett in his remarks on the weather says: - "Fresh pressure. and fair- weather have continued over the South Atlantic Atlantic and East Gulf States during the past 24 hours, with temperatures generally above normal. A low pres sure area, moving southeastward over Montana and the Dakotas, has caused warmer weather over the Missouri and Mississippi Valleys, with rain or snow over the northern and central Rocky Mountain regions. Light local rains have fallen also over Texas and snow over the lower lake region. In this vicinity the weather will continue fair and warm tonight, and Tuesday." , i Mrs. Caldwell Critically III."' Mrs. Charles Caldwell, who has been ill at her home, near Sugar Creek, for some time, was reported extremely low this morning and not expected to; live through the day; Her many Charlotte friends will be pained to know of her critical condition. Or. John E. White Pleases Lame Au diece at the Academy. There was a large body of men at the; Academy of Music yesterday after noon to hear the Rev. Dr. John E. White, of Atlanta"; and it is but fair to say that the meeting yesterday was the best in the history of the se ries"for men only that are being con ducted at the Academy under the au spices of the . Young: Mens Christian Association; ' .'' ' . : Dr. White's discussion of "The Tri umph of the Verities of -Our Faith- was the ablest and .'most beautifully illustrated talk Charlotte people have had the pleasure of hearing, in some time. After some reference to his life in his native State-North Carolina and to his. joy in standing before such a large audience of men whom.be loved so well, he announced his -subiiect: and from that moment until the close of his talk, every ear was strained and every eye directed on the speaker. Dr. White began his remarks by re ferring to the great immovable things ot the universe. "I love to brine: my 'heart close to the things that cannot move," he said "I love to look upon the sun and realize that it is the same which smote and changed the dark ness at creation. I love to look upon the stars and moon v and remember that they are the same which shone on David when he watched his flock. And I love to dwell and roam among the great mountains and the home in which the family dwells and is held together by the simple ties of affection. For the same reason I love to dwell upon the eternal verities of religion, The three greatest eternal verities of religion he said,were sin, sorrow and death. Sin, he said was to day what it was when : the world began and it 'will; always ' remain the same because it is . fixed as the stars and Christianity, is final faith of mankind. There are no new. sins; no alterations and no improvements. The world is as wicked today and men are doing the ' same things they did in ancient days. We are face to face with this changeless liability of human nature. "And so there are epochs in sorrow. Tears and heart breakings know no dates. Tonight, tomorrow or in the near future right here in this city, there is going to be an affliction a great sorrow caused by the death of a beloved member of a family. Tnat sorrow is the same as in ancient days. mere is no change." Sorrow is the only unpleasant duty. I have to con tend with, and but for my belief in God my effort to console would be a failure. Jesus Christ' is the handker cnief of God to wipe away the tears. The third great certainty is death, and, as Dickens: says,"it comes in the same old, old falhion." When we die we we reach instinctively for sup port which is usually some sort of atonement. As an illustration he re cited the case of C. W- erkes a prominent and wealthy man who re cently died at his home at New York. This man he said was notorious ly vicious in his private life but when he came face to 'face with death, he reached indistinctively for support. He sent ' messenger after messenger1 for the -wife 'Whom he had wronged to come to his bed side. She would not comer He made the last and final effort at atonement, not to the woman with whom he had sinned and who had amused him but to the faithful wife he had sinned against, he left -his wealth and fortune. " Another beautiful illustration and comparison Dr. White made was of the deaths of Robert J. Ingersoll and Dwight L. Moody. Ingersoll had taught his wife and children" to the be lief that there was nothing to him but his body and that when he died they should cling to his corpse assail that remained of him. When the un dertaker came to remove the body the wife and children were there with their arms around it and it was with the greatest difficulty that they were pursuaded to release the corpse, all that remained of the one they loved so well. When Mr. Moody, died he call ed his children to his bedside and said, "The earth is receding and the heavens are opening" and he mounted as on a chariot into the skies. And so stood two men.. One said I will not have this man Christ Jesus to rule over me. He is content to be an animal. , The second yields his will to to God and is transformed into the highest type of life.
