The following is a brief outline Of
the sermon preached by Rev. A. A.
Wallace at the Presbyterian Church
In Mexico last Sabbath:
"Iexhort therefore, that. first OF all.
s~upplicati0n, prayers, i~ntercessions
ana giving OF thanks be made for all
men. For kings and for all that are In
authority; that we may lead a quiet
and ~peaceabie life in all Goodness and
honesty Timothy, 2, 1-2.
We stand to-day a sorrowing ,sympa-
thizing, praying, people. Regardless
Of political bias, or religious faith, all
good people f%eryently hope for the re-
covery Of the President and look with
unmasked contempt upon the william
who made the attempt upon his life.
AS we thinko Of this shameful deed it
battles our understanding. Here is a
nan kind, manly and religious in his
life and the man is shot down by a
young man, who should havebeen at his
age, just entering the portal Of honor
able and useful manhood.
The place and circumstances, too,
seem wholly out Of harmony with the
deed. The greeting Of a loyal people,
the accompaniment of music, the
smile of innocent childhood, all con-
spired to make a scene unfit for such a
foul assault Yet into such a pres
nee did the spirit Of anarchy draw its
vile length to sink its fang into the
body Of our peace and strike a blow at
our freedom.
