VOICES FROM The WASHINGTON PULPIT.

The mastery sermons preached last
Sunday by at least two of our leading
Doc ors of Divinity called marked at
tention to the fact that the pulpit OF
Washington ..is unsurpassed anywhere
in the land. 1t is not our intention to
make invidious comparisons, for at all
the churches there were able deliver
ances, and they were enjoyed by vast
concourse of the intelligent and indus,
trions people of our magnificent capital
but especial mention is made here OF
two that seemed particularly adapted
to the Issues that make the history OF
the hour. First, at the Fifteenth
Street Presbyterian Church, the talent
ed pastor, DR.. Francis j Grimke spoke
with resounding force upon "The dan
gers of Anarchy taking the ground
that the evil was national and had its
inceptinn ia the uncondemned lynch
inps of the South, spreading finally to
the death of a Chief Magistrate whom
ali loved as a brother. He deplored
the absence of federal voice when the
burning and shooting OF unconVlcted
men and women took place, even when
one or more of the victims we're officers
of the general government. In this
strain DIR. Grimke talked, impresE
his hearers with his earnestness ear
nestness in developing Christian SEN
timent throughout the country tha'
will find a lever at the White House
and stir the people from ocean tc
ocean The sermon will pass into his
tory as the universal expression OF the
Negro citizens of the nation,s and L
possible it should be published in some
enduring form.
The second notable deliverance was
a special sermon by the Rev. Over
Meredith Waller, the eloquent young
rector of ST. Luke's Protestant Eplsco
pal Church, addressed especially to th'
corps Of teachers Of Washington "h'

Charleston, s. C.-(Speciaf)-The me
mortal services held on Thursday at
the Presbyterian Church in honor of
the late President Mckinley were very
impressive and touching. The services
were held under the auspices of the
Ministers Union, and DR.. \. B. Ster-
rett, First Vice-President of the Union.

The colored American., 1901-09-28

Some time previous to the death Of
the late President Mckinley, Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt had perfected
all of his plans by which he was to be
the guest of Booker 7. Washington of
Tuskegee on November 18th and 18th.
He had also arranged to visit one or
two other southern cities during the
same trip, of course by reason of the
death of President Mckinley. Presi-
dent ROOSEVELT trip to the South will

on the morrow would be called upon
to take under their guidance the moral
spiritual and intellectual destinies OF
more than $4,000 children-the future
citizsns of the Republic. He did not
speak in a vein of adverse criticism,
but directed attention to several lines
of thought that would awaken their
souls to q realization of the immeasur'
able responsibility that rested upon the
public educator, how the education In
the school served as the link. that with
the church and home, constituted an
indivisible trinity, The true teacher
must have lofty conception of his
work, aud teach not only facts from
text books, must inculcate correct stan
dards of life, build higher ideals, form
stronger characters, and prepare the
youthful and impressiOnable mind for
the duties of exalted citizenship. He
made short shrlft' of that species of in
structor who found his best enjoyment
In drawing his pay. and who saw no
higher duty than in massing into the
body of the child few indigestible
propositions in arithmetic, geography
and the like. He paid a splendid trib
ute to the virtues of Hannah More and
held her up to his hearers as the model
teacher, urging the instructors in our
schools to mould their spirit snd me-
thods after hers, bearing also tOrcibly
on the necessity Of a perfect harmony
OF action between the home, school and
the church the prime factors in the
equation of human progress.
These two sermons, picked out from
the many excellent addresses of last
Sunday, illustrate the practical results
that are growing out of our churches
We should take note of them and feel
proud that we have the privilege of
living in a community blessed b such
an able corps of Christian ministers,
Best of all they practice what they
preach, disdaining to besmirch their
cloth with a suggestion of selt-seeking
nsver forgetting the ethics prescribed
by Him who spoke upon the Mount

hope and charity wherever they 60

The hanging of Tom Ketchum, other
wise known as "Black Jack" the
train robber, at Clayton, n. NJ, last
Friday, came off without any attempt
at rescue. He was a desperate char
acter and his doom was justly deserv-
ed, although the individual offense of
train robbery, Of which he was convict
ed, ordinarily would not call for the
extreme penalty Of the law. His death
disposes of a gang of desperadoes
which has long been the terror Of New
Mexico and Arizona. The country is
well rid of the outlaw band. The
enforcement of the law, as in this case,
and as is always intended, is terror

Lawyers and the House OF Commons.
From time TO time complaints are
made of the large number Of lawyers
in the house Of commons, and sugges-
tions are put forward for the exclu-
sion of practicing members of the
legal profession from that assembly.
1t is evident, however, that these
views receive little support from the
public. There are some hundred and
fifty lawyers in the present house of
commons-not, il Is true, all prac-
ticing members Of the profession
and this number is likely to be in
creased at the general election now
imminent. Among the leading mem
bers of the bar who have been &C
eepted as candidates are Mr.. II. z.
Duke, Q. c.; Mr.. Marshall Hall, Q. c.;
and Mr.. Astbury, Q. C., all three Of
whom, if successful. will be new to
parliamentary life. Constituencies
have a perfectly free choice in the
matter of their candidates. and the
fact that the choice falls so frequent
" upon members of the legal profes-
sion merely shows that lawyers have
special qualifications for public and
parliamentary work. The relative
predominance of the legal profession
in the house of commons is in itself
a complete answer to the objections
made against it.-St. James Gazette.

this with a run on canned beef for

likely as not, this would-be followed

The Parker-Hughes Topeka mayor
atty election case was decided by
Judge Hazen Monday In favor of Par
ker. The canvassing board, under this
decision of the court, must convene
aud issue a certificate of election to
Parker. Hughes must come down. He
has an unenviable record, but espec-
tally so in his career as commander Of
the state militia in the legislative en-
broglio. He was courtmartialed and
dismissed from the service for disobe-
dience Of orders. Topeka is ordinarily
overwhelmingly republican but ''the
colonel was a heavy load to carry. Re

Curious Relic in a Scotch Castle.

Among the relies preserved in Cluny
castle is the "black chanter," on the
possession Of which the prosperity Of
the house of Cluny is said TO depend.
There is a tradition that its original
fell from heaven during the battle on
the North Inch, and that, being made
Of crystal, it was broken by the fall,
and the existing one made in fac smile;
but another tradition is to the effect
that the "ehanter" now extant is the
genuine original, and that the cracks
were occasiOned by its violent contact
with the ground. Cluny castle, as win
be generally remembered, was let for
several years In succession to Andrew
y. Y. Herald.

Gen. H. c. Merriam, commander of

this country does not need a large

large an army in the time Of peace. A

and thoroughly equipped, and con
stantly employed, is what the country
needs. According to views Of the
general 5000 men are abundantly adj
equste for the country's needs.
