FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
Rev. r EbIis Williams, of London,
Preached for Them 10 First Welsh
Baptist Church.

Since the departure of Rev. W. S.
Jones from the First Welsh Baptist
church. the pulpit has been filled by
different ministers, among the most
notable being the Rev. X. Ellis WILL
Jams, of Castle Street Baptist church,
London. Mr.. Williams occupied the
above pulpit yesterday morning and
evening, and at the latter service
preached forceful sermon on "Manas-
People.
The preacher first briefly referred to
the historical value of the records of
Manasseh's life, maintaining that
though the Biblical account of some of
the incidents stood alone and uncor-
roborated by any external evidence,
that all the incidents We're quite in
harmony with which we know of the
VicissitudeS to which the life of such
a petty prince was liable in those prim-
tive times. Assuming, therefore, their
truth he proceeded to tell the story and
to point out the lessons. He first of
all described the historical situation
in the time of Manassch, and traced the
origin of that princes hostility to the
reformation party in the kingdom of
Judah to the influence of Assyria with
in his realm. The Assyrian empire was
the gre - world power of the day. The
surrounding petty kingdoms were al
ready crushed under it's heel and the
fate of Judah trembled in the balance.
Its was a conquering nation, its gods
We're considered powerful, its culture
the height OF that which was fine and
elega l., its manners those that were
proper to a strong and mighty people.
Its presence on the borders of the sub
ject kingdom Of Judah exercised tre-
mendous moral power within. To this
Manassch suCcumbcd. He became AS
syrian i'm his sympathies and habits, in
his thoughts and ideas, and found all
worthy of admiration other where than
I'm his own country, among his own peo-
pie and in Jehovah, his God. Then the
preacher proceeded to remark that
these forces which brought Manasseh
under their power are not merely the
adjuncts of a civilization that is lOnE
passed away. They rather pervadc ev-
cry department of human life today
with the same force as ever. Young
men and women often find themselves
surrounded by an atmosphere of public
opinion, voiceless it may be, but ever
present and impressive, which con-
stantly presents to their minds entirely
false views of life and conduct. Re
ligion is often associated with all thai
is pleasurable, free and manly in life
The pursuit Of wealth and materia
prosperity are represented as the su
preme objects for which men SHOULD
strive. These are no less hostile to ou
best interest and true development, I,
all that is noble and of real worth il
human character, than We're Assyrial
manners, culture and most of all As
syrian worships, to the life, mission
and stability of the Hebrew nation il
the times of Manesseh. We must b
constantly on our guard against thes

Statement from MIR. Brown

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir:-I feel it my duty TO contradict a
few statements made by Captain w. 4.
May before the anthracite Investigation
committee, a report of which appeared in
your paper Friday last. The following Is
a list of assertions made by Captain May:
First assertion: miners average from
four to six cars per day" | take 1t for
granted this Is meant for a fuli-tlmc day
but it is unnecessary for me to say II is
untrue, for any miner in Forest city could
prove that such is not the case if they de-
sired to do so. Second assertion: Min
ers earn from S2.7J to IS per day" l will
not attempt to deny that they have not
earned this money in years past, but do
know that at the present time they are
earning from 81 to 50, and even on last
pay day one miner in Forest City had
81 cents to take home as wages for the
month of April and the above case is by
no means an exceptional one. Third as
sertion; Captain May knew the employees
| had "A hard time to thrive, but knew COM
paratively few cases Of destitution> and
| on investigating his company mad been
unable to find such cases
| In refutng this last assertion let me say
| that never in the history of Forest City
| has the darkness of destitution and de-
spair been felt to such an extent as it is
| today. Men know not what to do, where
| to go or how to live, and it is with dis
| heartened step that the miner goes to the
| pay car for his monthly earni lgs, for NJ
| knows full well he VIII be unable to pro-
| vide shoes and clothing for the little ones
| with the money due to him; ay, and may
hap feels that the time is come when ever
the staff of life will be very mcagre. Per
haps Captain May does not realize ol
| know the condition of his wOrkingmen
if he does, l am simply astounded by the
statement made by him before the com
| mittee and l dare assert there is one
who will provide more literally for th'
miners of Forest City I'm the kingdom t
| come than they are now being provided
for by those who term themselves chill
dren of God and pillars of His church.
l am yours truly,
William Burns Brown.

JUDGE MILLS SUSTAINED
Entitled TO Execute Provisions 0
the Poor Convict Law.
Decisio Affecting Functions Of COM
ni~sioners Appointed by the Dis
trict supreme Court

An important decision was rendered 10y
Judge Cole this morning affecting the
appointment and functions or United states
commissioners appointed by tie district
supreme court. The decision arose from
a contest Recently made by district At
turnpy Davis. TO the effect that the lIstriot
courts had no power To appoint such com
misSiunnrS, and that samuel {. Mills, che
of the commissioners, ha1 no ris 1t 10
order tie release OF prisoners from the
District lall under the provisions or the
poor convict act. Judge Cole held that
the court has The powe~ a. appoint United
States commissioners, and that under the
law such commissioners are empowered 10
release T-r.ited States prisoners on tie
ground in contention.
The entire controversy was based on the
question whether the circuit court of the
District was d United states circuit court.
BY SDult il was CuHtended that II was, tut
while Others held that Cons gress intended
il when il Was created to be a United
States tribunal, Judge Cole held that the
court was a United states circuit court,
and wa, rnlpl wered TO exercise all the ju-
dicial rarctiras Of such courts IN the states.
BEING UniteC States court, il was within
it's jurisdiction TO appoint United States
commissioners. Such commissioners had
been appointed by the court fUT the last
thrce-GuarterS OF a century and during that
line they had discharged their duties IN
manner identical with that Of commission
srs in the several states. There was mO
Construction to be placed on the law on
the subj ject, he held, which would indicate
that the court was not a United States
court, with full power to appoint commits
sioaers.
The contention over the poor conviCts'
act arose from the case of a man WHO
had been sentenced in TIE police court TO
LAY fine OF Sl5 or serve sixty days in
Iail for al appeal In the absence of the
pa ,taaIit of fine the prisoner was taken 10
Jail. A. the end of thirty DAYS accord
ing 10 law, he notified the court that he
was entitled 10 release in pursuance with
the premises of the poor convict act. Com
misSiruer Mills notified the district at.
tIrnev. Who raised the issue that Mr.. Mills
had no power TO order the release OF the
prisoner. TneuisJrict attorney held further
that The prisoner was not being held SOlel v
on account of a non-pa yment of fine. Judge
Cole held tU the contrary, ald decided that
the United states Commissioners OF the
District were vested with the power 70 eX-
.ecute the Provisions OF the poor convict law.
