DOES THE sun MOVE
A Canadian Preacher who Comes
Forward to Champion Brothers
Jasper's Views.

The Rev G. A. johnson, cOloret
preacher of Hamilton, Canada, editor O
paper called the British Lion, lee
tured last night in the colored church il
Fifteenth street, New York city. Hi
subject was, docs the Sun Move? OF
the Science of the Heavenly Bodies and
the Revolutionary Powers Of the Earth
and SUM-"
He said that he was not of the opinion
that the earth revolves. He could not
see why the divisions of the day and
night could not be ''prOduced by other
causes than the revolutionary powers
Of the EARTH He also doubted very
much about this earth being round. He
thought the ancients knew as much
perhaps about it as we, and they said
the earth was fiat. In support OF the
theory that the earth is not round, he
quoted from est. John, the Eeveator," "
who speaks of number of angels
standing at the four corners Of the
earth holding the wind that it might
not blow upon the earth" How could
the earth be round if it had corners :.
He would not say how many corners
the earth had, but he said 81 know
no better way than to take the word of
God as we find it.
The lecturer was disposed to believe
that the planets are inhabited like the
earth. AS to the views Of Rev. Mr.
Jasper, of Richmond, that the sun
moves, the lecturer said; every many
people thought that Mr.. Jasper was
rather astray when he made the asser-
ton the sun moves. have been content
to believe just as Mr.. Jasper believes. |
think that he was quite right when he
made the assertion that he did. One
proof that he was right is the motion of
the spots on the sun. Get any Cne OBJ
serve these spots and they will be seen
to move. The rate of their motion will
determine the rate Of the suns motion
and that OF the moon. Joshua com
manded the sun and moon to stand still
in the heavens. Would Joshua have
done that if they We're already still "
Again, when King HeZekiah had no
confidence in the Lord, is it not record
ed in Scripture that the Lord moved
back the sun ten degrees. Then we see
that the SIN rises and sets. The Scrip
lures speak OF from the rising OF the
sun to the going down of the same. That
means actual motion. Study up this
subject, my brethren, and you will find
it very hard to get over the plain teach

Call ON their old Friends - ~
More faithful Leaders,

MEssRs. EDITohs:-Permit us
through the e. your valuable
paper Of which We. :. instant readers
here at Sharon, to ask where are the
leaders Of our people who haze in the
past voiced to the country the senti-
Inents of their constituents in all mat
ters Of public interest.
| At this moment our country is convul-
sed in all of it's machinery by the das-
tardly and cowardly assault on the
President of the nation by the Nihilist
Guiteau.
We have seen with regret the resolu-
tion and expressions ofsympathies COM
ing from all parts of the country ami
mingling with the grief of the family
circle, yet in all these voices there is
one which is missed and that is the
voice Of the colored leaders of our native
city who have so long been sounding
the advance OF the great loyal
phalanx of my people. but where are
they to-day? Are they slumbering in
the silent tomb of insensibility, or is it
possible that they have closed their eyes
against the enormity of the crime and
are saying that this is unworthy of our
sympathy and sorrow?
Ye leaders whose business we have seen
floating in the heated air of the politi-
cal arena, fling once more those banners
to the breeze. Sound once again the
tocsin and assemble the throng and ex-
press your interests in common with
the nation. Let it be as the Aven to
the Severn and as the Severn to the sea
until the whole shall be one grand un-
animity OF sounds.
Allow US to say that the leaders who
now fail in this the hour OF the nations
bereavement to summon their consti-
tuents together SO that they may ex-
press their feelings in the direful
calamity, are unit and unworthy
to be leaders of any people
Let us hear from d. p. II. w. K.
e., j. T. B., S. NJ, and P. S. b., the old
and tried leaders, and arise from their
present lethargy and summon our citi-
zens together in mass meeting and send
their voices forth mingled with the
true feelings of men and worthy
leaders of a loyal people.
The man who now talters in the path
)f duty is unworthy of the name. Per-
nit us to voice to the people the great
historical command-Forward

this evening very tired and complain

questions he asked for the latest bullo-
tins of the Presidents condition, and be-

change for the worse was due to an alb
cess and that its location was easily de-
termined by the pressure it exerted on
the spine.
After a short consultation among the
doctors it was decided to open new
outlet for the collecting pus, and an in
cision was made as described in the
Washington dispatches. DR.. Agnew
