"De Sun Do NlOve.'s
THE REV. JOHN JASPER EXPLAINS
HIS THEORY ON THE LECTURE
| PLATFORM

HIS THEORY ON THE LECTURE
PLATFORM.
About two hundred people assembled
In Lincoln hall last evening 10 hear
Rev. John Jasper, the colored preacher
of Richmond, v, lecture upon "The
Rotation OF the SUM-" Jasper is a gen-
uine colored preacher. of the type that
makes colored camp meetings and re-
vivals SO interesting to persons used to
the formal eloquence and measured
prayers of white churches-one of those
preachers who have an eloquence and
force peculiar to themselves. He Is ra-
ther tall in stature, with an angular figure,
and was dressed last evening in clerical
black. A short, crisp, woolly beard
covers his black face, and the wool at
the top of his head has been worn off
with frequent rubbing, so that his fore
head seems to extend to the back of his
skull. He began by saying he intended
10 prove that the sun do move from the
leds Of the Bible. He 'didn't know
nothin' about outsiders, and dealt only
with Gods word, which war writ by holy
men insired by the spirit of God, moved
upon by the Holy Ghost and authorized
by Gods authority to light lamp for the
feet and prepare a guide for the path"
AT times he fell into the sing song, in
tonating style of delivery so often herd
at negro revival meetings, land peculiarly
noticeable among the colored Baptists.
His argument was based entirely on
scriptural quotations, to prove that " the
sun do move" He began with a refer
ence to Joshua, who commanded the
sun TO stand still. and then gave other
passages from the Bible, in which re-
ference is made 10 the rising and set
ting OF the sun. After each quotation
which he considered a clincher he added,
And yet they say the sun don't move,
with an air expressing both pity and
contempt for the unbelievers. What
man Is thar, he asked, that lives on
Gods earth who can take a microscope,
or any other scope, and say the sun don't
move? Whar is the man who can spy
from this locality and tell how far The
sun is from the earth He may do it,
but then have my convictions and he
has his. His whole discourse was full of in
teresting and apropos little anecdotes
and illustrations. He exhibited hard
headed and earnest faith in the literal
text Of the Bible and said that they
could call him ''falsehood or any
thing they choose, but they couldn't dis
pute the Bible.

Now, after this who will say that an

the showing of the leaders of his own

grossest frauds. Ii In the teeth of the
revelations that have come to light a
Democratic majority of the House of

Deliberately Circumyenting
the Peoples Will.
From. the Detroit Free Pres

The usurpation of Hayes was delib-
ate eircumvention by fraud of the peo-
ple's will in country where the right
of the people to rule themselves is the
foundation stone of the Government.
How great that fraud was, and by what
unholy means it was accomplished, the
country is just beginning to be fully ap-
prised by such revelations as that made
by Senator Conklipg, and the still more
recent confessions of the scoundrels who
stole the vote of Florida.
