The Rev. Robert Watts Discourse ut
Scott Churrh sunday Night.

scott Church Sunday Sight.
At Scott Church, Sunday evening, the
Rev. Robert Watt preached ON "What
Christianity has done for the working
man." His text was. Matthew XII, 30;
as not this the carpenters son2" The
workingman's position to-day, he said,
is due 10 Christianity. When our Lord
came there were in the Roman empire
two classes of people: First, 1000 pa
triclans, who never did SO much as lift
their fingers to help themselves. and
who spent the money of the people in
riotous living; second, the plebians, who
never worked, but were fed by the
patricians. Working people were slaves.
There was no liberty, civil, moral or
religious. They had no right to marry;
received no wages, and all manner OF
indignities were heaped upon them.
1t is said that Jesus did not speak
against slavery, but he planted
principles that have broken up
slavery. Had He waged per-
sunal war against it there would have
been precipitated upon the world the
most dire carnage and distress; but, in
stead, He left Heaven ard His crown
and sceptre and became himself slave
to benefit the workingman. Christianity
began to exert on the Roman Empire i
beneficial effect 1900 years ago. Jesus
Christ came rs slave to labor. Now
the labCrer has the right of tho ballot,
shielded by the civil law and the arm of
Jesus. Why do not men in China, Japan
and Egypt strike? If they should pro-
test they would be shot. Jesus Christ
had to come before we could protest.
Religion III those countries where Jesus
is not is just the same as it ever was
the people do not advance single step.

DIsoRDEREr NEGROES THESE.



Arthur Davis, colored, was given a
hearing in municipal court Monday,
charged by Officer Paul Ward with dis
orderly conduct Saturday afternoon.
According 70 the evidence during the
Republican primaries John Davis, col
ored, was arrested by the officer for
drunkenness. He was placed in the
patrol box in the Twelfth ward and
Arthur Davis, who was also intoxicated,
asked permission to see him. Officer
Ward told him that he would have
every opportunity to sec the prisoner at
the City Hall.
Not satisfied with this, Arthur Davis
became disorderly and called upon a
crowd of colored men to assist him in
liberating the prisoner. He also abused
the officer and Patrolman Ward locked
the negro up. The case was finally
ended by the negro paying the costs.
John Davis, who was also drunk
during the election, paid fine of 81
