u. w. Last Evening.

The members of Union ana sac
ramenSo Lodges of the Ancient order
of United Workmen assembled at their
meeting place in Foresters' Han at
o'clock last evening and marched IN
a BODY to the Sixth street Methodist
Church, where memorial services We're
conducted by the pastor Rev. 5. }. Car
roll.
The church was filled to its utmost
seating capacity and had been appro-
priatelv decorated for the occasion AT
the pulpit steps was a large floral piece
representing shield on which the let-
ters "A. O. L. W. stood out in relief.
The address of Dr. Carroll was list
ened 10 with profound attention, and
his eulogy 70 the departed was grand
flight Of thought and eloquence. He
spoke of the object of the order at
length. and lauded its well-known prin-
ciples of charity and helpfuness and
the unostentatious manner in which
they ara extended.
The minister impressed upon his
hearers that civilization and obedience
TO the laws go hand in hand, and N can
progression, while disobedience of the
laws means a recurrence to savagery.

and whenever anarchy shows itself all
good men ought to band together and
stamp it out. 1t should be killed and
utterly eradicated.
The anarchist who seeks to violate
the laws, and who attempts TO teach
others - dc SO, the speaker said, ought
to be placed where he belongs-wiIh
the savaSes of the South Sea Islands.
Obedience tC the laws of the land dis
tasteful though they might be, was
taught by Christ, both by precept ana
example. and He held the laws given
to the Jews by Moses and those of the
Roman Empire, in the greatest respect.
and while He taught new law, He
never violated those of the land. The
principle Of proper observance of the
laws by the Workmen We're in accord
with the advance of civilization and
Christianity
The reverend speaker drew a picture
of Christ as workman. and told how
He, With other Jewish youths, learned
his trade, beginning his apprenticeship
at the age of II years When at the
age of 20 He appeared before the people
to teach the doctrine of universal sal
walton, he lifted no lily-white hands in
supplication, but hands that had bean
hardened and calloused by toll Christ
was a toiier, a teacher and respecrer
not only of the Jewish, but also of the
Roman laws
To help the poor properly, the minis
ter continued, meant to assist them 10
help themselves. and the Order of
Workmen understood how to ext alld
such charity and not degrade the rr-
ceiver. Charity is in harmony with
great manliness, but men who stand
upon the street corners and beg for
money usually are leeches and better
htted for the strong hand of the civil
law than fer Christian charity. Good
citizens owe it to themselves to band
together 9nd see to it that such leeches
are set TO work breaking rock, or Put
at some other congenial employment.
There are, he said. exceptions to the
rule. ana the exceptions are true o.
Jects of Pity, and deserve assistance
from their fellowmen.
The man who moves the world d.
Carroll said, is not the one who talks
In the market place. but the one who
puts his shoulder to the wheel-the real
Workman.
