CULPEPER, VA, March 30.-Speclal.-
An unsuccessful attempt 10 rob the fancy
grocery store of j. II. TrayiOr. on Davis
street, was made last night. The thieves
first attempted TO enter the store from
the rear. but finding that way blocked
with barrels of hour and boxes OF soap.
they changed their labors TO the front
door. Though this they bored number
OF holes with two-inch bit around the
lock and above. around the clasp. but
again they failed. as the doors are very
substantial and the clasp runs full length
across the door.
The tools used by the thieves were
stolen previously during the nisht from

UNIvERSALIsr CHURCH
Rev. A. A. Rice on Every Day
Slavery

At Caledonia hall yesterday Rev. A.
A. Rice, the pastor of the Universalist
church spoke on Every Day Slavery"
from Acts x:15-"What God hath
cleansed, make thou not common" Mr..
Rice said in brief: While this text
teaches the value of all souls, it also
emphasizes an even greater truth, that
of mans responsibility for man. Its
command is, MAKE thou not common
or impure, which presupposes a depen-
dence of the weak upon the strong with
the usual results-slavery one to the
other. Slavery is chiefly characterized
by such power as prescribes the devel-
opment of human life.
Before his emancipation the black man
of the south was in slavery because he
was not permitted to avail himself of
the means of developing his powers Of
life. Previous to the Revolutionary war
America was enslaved by England be-
cause it was held under such laws as
prevented the free use and exercise Of it's
natural rights. Cuba today is trying to
throw off that yoke which if not removed
means the contraction of her souls life.
And so no small proportion Of humanity
everywhere is held in the bondage of
degradation because those who hold the
keys Of it's release do not make use of
them.
We deprecate the product of the slums,
and yet we and we alone are responsible
for such issue. There is an every day
slavery which is perpetuated on the
earth by those who have power to abol-
ish it. There can be no slavery without
Shareholders. He is a STAKEHOLDER who
does not all he can to elevate those lower
than himself.

satisfy that longing. if We come to him
and ask the forgivenesB OF our sins. He
satisfies the longing heart and to the
hungry soul he giveth meat. He Will
change the heart Of profanity to heart
of prayer. The devout man. unconverted.
says: I adore God. believe In God
When converted he can say: I love
God and love his children
1.-THE grace Of God will make men
stronger as the struggle goes on and
victory after victory II won. until finally
they will arrive in the haven Of rest.
'"rhe only way to be Christian Is to
be whole-hearted Christian. The half
hearted Christian always has hard
time OF It getting on toward heaven.
The psalmist said: He hath taken me
out of the horrible pit: he hath placed
my feet upon q rock; he hath established
my goings.' Job said: I know that my
redeemer liveth, and in that day shall
see God With these testimonies and
the promises of God, and our own expe-
riencc of the testimony Of the Holy
Spirit, that we are the children of God,
we may know that we are Christians
and that we are accepted Of God"

seasons are alike. The faithful preach
ing of the Word should be to the church
time of prayerful hearing.
"But passing from the church to the in
dividual, the Scripture speaks of the
righteous man as tree planted by
the rivers Of water. and it declares of
him that he shall bring forth his fruit
in his season. Fruit in season refers
to the virtues exhibited under differing
conditions, and this would comprehend
patience in affliction, faith in trial, Joy
in prosperity and faithful service in ev-
cry opportunity.
Fruit in season also comprehends each
period Of life, as the appropriate fruits
of youth, manhood and old age. The
man who lives right shall in old age be
fat and flourishing,' his leaf shall not
wither,' and whatsoever he does shall
prosper Old age need not be barren
and cheerless. With the Christian it Is
the season of most precious fruitage. 1t
is the harvest home Of the life.''
The evangelistic services will be con-
tinued during the week.
