Future Punishment,

''The death of Dean Farrar and review of his preaching efforts and his literary work has stirred up afresh a lively dis cussion about hell and the future state" remarked a churchman. While Dr. Far rar did not reject the doctrine of he'll he took rather more hopeful view of the hereafter than conservative church. men. A close friend of the late dean, writing in the New York Sun, says How many Christian souls have closed their eyes in death with most terrible forebod- ings of endless misery. The poet Cowper the disciple of Newton, the great even gelical preacher died with the honest conviction that his soul was lost and that he was going to hell. Oliver Crom- well, the great Puritan protector, was troubled with the same fear on his death- bed. Tell me-" he said to his chaplain, "can a man who has been once in grace fall away and be lost for eternity?' Mo- was the chaplain's re- ply. "Then," exclaimed the dying Protector, q am sare for I know l was once a saved soul" Yet in the face of all these facts we find this stupendous ques- tion of future punishment ignored by preachers ridlculed in our comic papers and made the subject of wit in our thea ters and in our social gatherings And then when a man like Farrar attempts to explain the mystery he is branded as a 'heretic, or suspected as dangerous The truth is that this devout soul, this emi- nent scholar, this eloquent preacher in England's great Abbey, did more to re- move the agonies from the minds of dying people than any other teacher protesting Christianity within the memory of the present generation. May he rest in peace, and may the perpetual shadow of the AL mighty rest upon him.

OF Washington, d. G..
Rev. DR.. Dean Richmond Babbit, one
or the leading white divines of the
North, preached on THE Negro and
the South, at the Protestant Church
or the Epiphany, Brooklyn, Sunday
evening. He said in part:
The attitude of the South toward
the Negro to-day is not defensible, ex-
cept on pleas utterly un-American
It's plea for AnglO-Saxon dominance,
It's pdejudice against the Negro. its
systematic attempt to nullify the Con-
stitutiOn of the United States all are
but a far-off echo of strident voices
heard for 80 years before the Civil
war settled forever the overweaning
pride and arrogance of State sovereign
ty.
1T is trying to shut the door of op-
portunity in the face Of the black man
on grounds of race and color 1t is
rapidly robbing the Negroes, by de-
l1berate system, of not only political
rights, but inalienabIe natural rights,
the rights of life, liberty and happi-
ness. There is real slavery of the Ne
gro in parts of the South to-day, only
the poor black man or woman is not
sold from the auction block, but from
the bench of the Judge in collusion
with slave catchers and slave buyers
What mean those thirty-siX indict-
ments for slavery returned by a Grand
Jury in Alabama? What means the
slave StOckadeS, the tracking blood
hounds, and the lash among the pine
woods of Georgia? 1t means that slav-
cry is in existence to-day. Why should
the North let the South settle alone
this great national problem? We are
first Americans, then members of
State or section, and the Negro belongs
to the North as we'll as to the South.
The Negro is United States problem"

upon the highly artistic program
rendered at the May Musicale of tbe

tuesday evening. The numbers were
well chosen and splendidly interpreted

or the NORMAL School, other partici
pants were Miss Lola Johnson who
delighted the audience by her charm
ing Interpretation Of the Spring Song
from H1awatha;" Miss Marie c,

Beatrice Warrick, and Miss Gibbs.
who favored the audience with a most
d1fhcult but well interpreted BalIade
by Reinecke. The accompanies were
Misses Europe and Della White and

was an uplift to the higher aspirations
OF the Washington public toward gen
