PRAYING FOR SUPPRESSION OF RIOr

The Evangelical Alliance of New Orleans
Gives Its Moral support TO Law aud
order.
New ORLEANS, November s.-On ac-
count Of labor troubles on the levee,
brought about by the white laborers Ia
an attempt to get rid OF the colored la
borers as competitor, an Evsngelican
Alliance meeting was held to-day AT
Wesleyan Chapel OF the NJ. E. church,
attended by fifty ministers and l,5OO
people, and prayers were offered Tor
guidance, blessings and protection, and
the following uuAnimou sly adopted:
"At 4 time when the peace, prosper
ity and even the very life, com mnercially
speaking, OF q great city like New Or
leans is endangered by the ruthless
hand OF the murderer, outlaw, assassin
and incendiary torch; when the blood
of half q score OF defenceless, law
abiding citizens, who have been slaugh-
tered In cold blood, or wounded nigh
unto death by mob violence in the open
day and in the presence of those whose
duty IL Is to protect the defenceless and
preserve the peace OF the city.
"When the blood OF these men Is
calling aloud for redress at the hands OF
injured justice aud outraged law.
when the only plea thus far given
or even hinted by these misguided vio-
lators OF the peace and perpetrators OF
these atrocities is the. fact that those
against whom these great outrages are
perpetrated are negroes and are inca
pable Of resentment or redress.
when the representatives. OF civil
government, municipal and guoerna-
torial. seem TO sct with a measure OF in
difference TO such condition OF affairs,
may IL not we'll be said, as In the days
OF primitive Christian experience;
Lord, unto whom shall we go?'
But the answer is close TO hand;
there is one unto whom we may go; and
1t is unto Him Of whom the disci ples
said: Thou hast the words OF eternal
lite
Unto Him, therefore, have we come
this day for guidance, blessing and pro-
tection."
