LOST OR STOLEN TWO BOYS
Mysterious Disappearance of Charles
Albert Lee and James Hall.
They Were Seen at the Eastern Mar
ket Thursday Morning-Nothing
Heard from Them Since Then.

Charles Albert Lee, the nine -year-old
| No. 219 Twelfth street southeast, aud
| James Hall, ten years old, and son OF Mr..
John Henry Hail, OF No. 1906 C street
southeast. disappeared from the house of
Mr.. Lee about Z O'Clock last Thursday
morning, and have not been seen or heard
from since. Since Thursday evening, when
the parents notified police headquarters,
the police of the different precincts have
been looking for the boys, hut their dis
appearance is as complete as it is
mysterious.
Both boys were. at Mr. Lees house Thurs
day morning early, as they were going to
join in a srrday.school Parade that day
They went out, about o'clock, telling
Mrs. Lee tina tthey were going TO play.
About 10 O'Clock that morning Mrs.
Eisman, neighbor OF the two families,
saw the boys at the Eastern market and
spoke to them as she passed. That is the
last time they have been seen in the city.
Both OF the boys were barefooted and
Wore knee pants, shirt waists and straw
hats. Young Lee was very precocious for
his age, and was well acquainted with
the city, having been all over it, but Hall
was rather quiet, and stayed at home a
good deal
The boys fathers, after notifying po-
lice headquarters, visited every conceiv-
able place searching for the children, but
could find no trace of them. They re-
ported the disappearance to police head
quarters again last night, and the neigh
boring cities viii be communicated with.

ONENESS OF THE RACE.

Pastor of Metropolitan NJ. E. Church
Argues brotherhood of Man.
Rev. Hugh Johnson, y. D., pastor of
the Metropolitan NJ. Z. Church, at the cor
ner OF Four and-a-half and streets
northwest, preached yesterday morning
on the theme Babel and the nations"
taking the position, in the course of his
remarks, that the Bible theory of the unity
| Of. the human family is maintained, not
" iths tanding the differences in race,
color, and tongue. His text was selected
from Genesis. xi:9
In the +'land of the two rivers" DR..
Johnson remarked. in commenting upon the
text, Nimrod, who was the leader OF the
people, sought to defy the viii of God.
Fearful of second flood they sought TO
build a tower that would reach to the
heavens, but they could hot forsee the
confusion of tongues that God brought
upon them. The bIilhersO were unable
to make progress because OF their in
ability to understand each other. 1t
was the new beginning OF the race, but
they were at their old sinsla and attempted
to set aside the DEGREES of God.
They stopped building, = but the inde-
scribable confusion of the language con-
tinued. Thatthe aceounCofthec e construction
of the tower was authentic, DR.. johnson
said there had been discovered on the ioca
tion described the ruins Of mound, the
Oldest known to man, which seemed
from the data at hand 70 be the remnant
of the town. 1t was ESQ feet in height
and together with the height of foundation
has an elevation greater9 than that OF
the Washington monument, the highest
tablet in the world.
Babel the remnant OF the mystic Babylon,
has it's lessons. 1t is al history of the hu-
man ambition. Are we building on a
sure foundation? God examines our build
ing, scans the record of our business trans
actions, and sees whether our gains are
honestly obtained. Are we building for
self? s--sXssi
The oneness of the race, the brotherhood
of man, was argued by DR.. johnson as
being well supported fromevery standpoint,
and he said the lowest of the human kind
are our brethren; but on the other hand it is
eevating to know that the good and true,
the great and the brave are likewise closely
identified with us. Grant, Sherman, Sheri-
dan and Logan and the other heroes whose
patriotism and heroism we commemorated
on Memorial day are one with us.
The golden rule is the key to unlock the
social problems of the age. Above all is
the unity of the race shown in Christ's cross
and blood. He died for ALL
