REPLIES TO DR.. PARKHURST.
A Colored Minister Attacks the New
York Diyiue's Statements.

DIR. Parkhurst's sermon regarding the
negro question delivered in New York
City since the return of the eminent
divine from a Southern trip. was the sub
ject of a discourse delivered yesterday
morning by the Rev. Geriah Lamkins,
pastor of the Tenth Street Baptist
Church. colored, of this city. The general
trend of Mr. Lamkins' sermon was in OBJ
lection to DIR. Parkhurst's s utterances in
connection with the statement that the
people of the South did not like the col
o-'ed race and freely asserted that they
did not. The speaker took the ground
that this statement was false, and was
the result of a lamentable lack of knowi-
edge of existing conditions on the part of
DR. Parkhurst He said that the many
kindnesses and the great help rendered
the negro race by the people of the South
was sufficient proof that no settled hatred
ex isted.
In opening his discourse the Rev. Lam
kins said that DR.. Parkhurst made
Southern trip recently and remained in
the Southern States for about nine days,
and then returned to New York, where he
said: The Southern white man dislikes
the negro and owns up to it. The white
man in the North ,dislikes the negro and
lies about it,
In regard to DIR. Parkhurst' statement,
he said that ii merely added to the con-
fusion of an already yexed question. He
said that the white people of the South
liked the colored people because they had
always been faithful servants. He took
decided exception to DIR. Parkhurst's as
sertion that NortheTners lied about their
feelings toward the negro, and held up as
evidence the fact that Charles Sumner,
Wendell Philips, Henry Ward Beecher.
William Lloyd Garrison, and others were
true friends of the colored race
The Rev. Mr. Lamkins said that the
disfranchisement of the negro was the
result of his too close adherence to the
Republican party He stated that the
Southern people had never thought the
negro should. mix in politics. and that
when he persisted they adopted the more
practical method of Acknowledgement.
1t isn't the negro, but the Republican
party, which makes the South solid"
said he. We are of the opinion, now
ever that the negro should have little to
do with politics. What he wants to do is
to get money. buy lands get homes and
get something that the white man wants.
It's more his condition than his color
which makes him obiartiona ble -

FATHER AND SON QUARREL.
4 ParoIed Patient From ST. Eliza
bcth's Creates n Disturbances

George Talbert. who mas been a patient
at St Elizabeth's Asylum for the Insane
for twenty years past, whose home is at
425 Ninth Street northwest and who
was yesterday paroled for twenty-four
hours from the institution, was ar
rested early this morning by Police
men Murphy. Thompson, and Simpson
and locked up at the First pre-
cinct station, because OF a disturbance
and an attack on his son. Word was sent
to the asylum authorities, who will take
the prisoner back to that institution this
morning.
According to the police, who were sum
moned to the Talbert home by cries for
help shortly after midnight, Talbert as
saulted his son John. 1t is said by Tai
bert that his son did not reach home
until late hour and that he reproached
him. Talbert also claims that he was
attacked by the boy, who is about twenty
years old, and that the scuffle which fol-
lowed caused so much excitement that
his son-in-law. his daughter. and his wife
called the police to prevent further
trouble A charge of suspicion of insan-
ity was lodged against him. The authori-
ties at St. Elizabeth's requested that the
prisoner be closely watched, lest he do
himself bodily harm, when informed of
the affair.

WOMEN AS MISSIONARIES.
The sermon of the Rev. F. W. Moot
mt ST. Paups Lutheran Church.

Woman's work in the church was the
subject of an interesting discourse yes
terday morning by the Rev F. W. Moot
at St. Paul's English Lutheran Church
The sermon covered the work of women
in the advancement of the Christian re-
ligion from the time of Mary's appearance
at the tomb of Christ on the morning
of the resurrection. to the present day,
when they are taking so prominent n
part in carrying the Gospel TO unbeliev-
ers in the mission fields. The subject of
the discourse was based on the text, John
xiv:S, She hath done what she could.
In the eye of the casual observer. the min
lister said, nothing in these days is impress
sive except a something which is remark
ably remarkable. The observer he said,
will see the king, the emperor. or gov
ernor but will leave unnoticed the great
masses which make up the nation. The
many virtues of these millions, which
sparkle as the brightest things in nature.
are overlooked by the casual observer,
while the brightness of the crown of the
king is remembered.
In the same way the victories won by
great admirais and generals are remem-
bered in history, while the bravery and
valor of the soldier and sailor are for
with love and reverence and devotion of
Paul. Augustine, and Luther, he con-
tinued, and no one should attempt to take
away a single jewel from the greatness
of these men, but there snould be some
recognition for the women who have done
so much for the advancement of the
Christian religion. Their names, he said
are not chiseled in marble, but they have
done a great work for which they are
to be admired. and not forgotten. Mary
did not do as much as John or endure a
much as Peter, but the Master said of
her. she hath done what she could"
IL women have not done more in the
advancement of the Christian religion,
Mr.. Moot said, It is because they had al
ways been held back by man before the
coming of Christ. The work of women
in the extension of the church was re-
ferred to as an example Of the willingness
of woman to sacrifice all for the ad-
vancement of the Christian faith. The
last century. he said, was one in which
the work of women in the church was
plainly demonstrated. Thousands of them
left comfortable homes, surrounded by

but never once murmuring or turning
hack from the task they had undertaken.
In the time of war they have always
shown the true extent of their Christian
character. and were ever ready to under

the sick. wounded, and dying. Tbs work.
too, is in keeping with the command of
Christ. who said that the preaching of
the Gospel is not all that is necessary.

A NEW DEACON ORDAINED.
Installation Ceremonies at New York
Avenue Presbyterinn Church

AT the morning service at the New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church yesterday
one new deacon was ordained and three
reelected deacons installed in their po-
suiqns. The church was crowded The or
dInauon and installation ceremonies were
the simple exercises prescribed by the
Presbyterian Church, and were conducted
by the Rev Wallace Radcliffe. pastor of
heachurch. The newly elected deacon is
Henry Wells, and he will discharge the
duties of the office until 1868. The three
deacons, who were reelected are Charles
l.. Bradley. Robert p. A Denham, and
Charles G. Stott, and their terms of Of
flee will expire in 1904
Following the ordination and installa-
tion ceremonies an Offering was made for
the benefit of the Presbyterian Sunday
school work One Sunday of the year is
set aside by the church for contributions
for this work. and all money offered on
that day is turned into the Sunday school
fund. Qnite large sum was realized yes
terday.
DIR. Radcliffe took as the theme of his
sermon THE New Corinthian," and the
text was taken from the first epistle to
the Corinthians. The discourse dealt
with the general tendency in the age to
follow public sentimen: and opinion. to
cling closely to ritual. and to mere in
divlduallty in yielding to the whim of the
multitude.
DIR. Radcliffe said that there was too
great an accession to public opiI ION end
that the modern Corinthian. me.a.dng the
average churchman, was far more willing
to accept as his own opinion the sentinent
which happened to affect the general puD-
lie at that particular time The 81 ie.tsfer
thought there was too little ibct 1tive "a
original thought. and the establis i.IEfs' Jf
| decided sentiments in any directil =. Or.
Radcliffe referred to the horribl, giesad-
ness of ancient Corinth. He sai.i ( D. = he
had read in the newspapers, in a.aga-
zines. and in modern books, stories in
which Christ was supposed to come to
the earth and visit certain cities only to
turn away disheartened at the wicked
ness which he found there. This, DR..
Radcliffe said. he did not believe 1t was
his opinion that the wickedness of an
cient cities and the horror of some of
the practices then generally prevalent, so
far exceeded the worst examples that
could be found today that there was alb
solutely no comparison.
In speaking of ritual, DR.. Radcliffe said
that the churchman of the Presbyterian
lie brethren. and those of the Episcopal
Church as too much given to ritualism.
while in truth, theirs was only the ritual
of the form of worship. Anyone in this
day, he stated, was liable to fall into the
ritual of thought and opinion. which was
that formed and advocated by public SEN
timent. He said in conclusion that the
assertion that the voice of the people was
the voice of God was erroneous.

THE GOSPEL WAGON.
The Central Union Mission Com
mences It's Fifteenth Year

The gospel wagon, a successful branch
of the work of the Central Union Mis-
sion during the summer months, started
out on its fifteenth annual season yester-
day afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. At the
afternoon service on + Street southwest
aud at the evening service in Market
Space, a large crowd surrounded the
wagon and took an active part in the
service. During the month of May the
gospel services in the wagon will be under
the direction of C. w. Wheeler The
wagon used this year is a new one and
more comtnodious than any of those used
before. The outlook for the coming sea-
son is bright, and the gospel wagon work
ers anticipate a successful season.
For several years past the gospel wagon
work was conducted in large wagon,
which was burned in the fire which de-
stroyed the Knox warehouse about two
months ago. The new wagon is twenty
feet long. and seven feet wide, and is
equipped with an organ and lighting ap-
7paratus. 1t will accommodate as many
as thirty-seven persons and is drawn
easily by four horses.
: The first service was held yesterday op-
posite 9311k f Street southwest, where
lives Miss May Dunning, an almost life

workers. AS Sister May. The service was
opened by Mr.. Wheeler and number of
hymns were sung. The gospel wagon is
Il familiar sight in the streets of the
southwest section during the summer
months. and after il came to a stop on r
Street il was not long before a large
crowd gathered Many of them joined
in the singing of the familiar airs. The
instrumental accompaniment is quite pre-
tentious. consisting as it does of organ,
clarinet, alto-horn, trombone, and two
Viulins. At the conclusion Of the song
service there was prayer. and then the
Rev. ~ I. Thompson, pastor of the VIII
son Memorial NJ. f. ChurCl, told the
story of the prodiga son.
Later on, at $50 o'clock, the first service
of the year was held in Market Space
and several hundred people who were
passing up and down Pennsylvania Ave
nue. were attracted by the sight of the
big vehicle and the sound of the music.
The discourse was here delivered by the
Rev. G. Howard Davis. of Wesleyan Pen
tecostal Church. and his theme was taken
from the scriptural verse, Il am not
ashamed of the gospel of Christ. for it
is the power of God unto salvation to
everyone who believeth." After testi-
mony by converts the wagon drove to
the Mission, where an interesting and
well attended service was conducted by
Mr.. T. +. Seeds. II is the plan to con-
duct services nightly on the principal
thoroughfares of the city, and on Sunday
there will be services in both afternoon
and evening.

THROWN FROM HIS WHEEL.
AIoysius Wcnges ColIides With
Carriage on Columbia Road.

Considerable excitement was occasioned
in the vicinity of Eighteenth Street and
Columbia Road, about 3:45 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon. by a wheelman colid-
ing with a carriage. The streets in that
vicinity were crowded with Sunday sight
seers, when Aloysius Wenges. a bicyclist,
thirty-two years of age, was riding up
Columbia Road at a rapid pace. In an
endeaVor to steer clear of the many We
hicles he ran into a team belonging to
Mrs Kuhn. of 1855 Bladensburg Road. The
shock of the collision threw Wenges from
his wheel under the hoofs of the horses
attached to the carriage. Wenges was
pulled from beneath the hoofs of the
horses in an unconscious condition He
was carried to Garfield Hospital, where
his injuries were pronounced by the sur
geons 70 be of most painful nature, but
