MORE GRACE FOR BLACKS. !

Epworth Leaauers Would Solve Race
: Problem Through Religion.
A special from Detroit says: There
was no lessening of the: enthusiasm
among the Epworth Leaguers Friday
night and Tent Ontario, Auditorium
Epworth, the Detroit opera houSe and
Central Methodist Episcopal church,
where nceunss were held, were again
crowded.
Dr. H. M. Hamil. Of Nashville,
Tenn, talked on 'The Field 4iear at
Hand" at the tent meeting, and in his
address referred to the negro sques-
tion. 1--WE have made the negro" he
said, "a thing to be batted to and fro
by political parties and we have for
gotten his religion in large measure.
What we need is to spend more time
in putting the grace Of Christ In the
hearts Of the black people. What we
need to do to solve the negro problem
ia to transform any instinct Of savage,
ry that may exist in the few Of that
race In order to stop the lighting of
taggots and the raising Of stakes. 1t

In Auditorium Epwosth, Rev. NJ. N.
Waldrup, of Bentonville, Ark, was
chairman, and Rev. A. B. Leonard, OF
New York, spoke on "rhe Field Far

tion, he said:
whether 1t be Englishman, French
man, Turk, German or Portuguese
that makes conquests in Africa, the
African is his helpless victim. Nor Is
America free from the shame and sin
of depressing ard cruelty treating the
children of Ham. Brought here, with.
out their consent, as human merchan-
disc, liberated after two centuries OF
slavery by the exigencies OF war, they
are now outcasts, socially and poli:i
cally, and often denied the right of
trial by jury. they are shot or hanged
or burned at the stake, both in the
north and In the south. American
Christians must see to it that the ne:
groes shall have a fair chance in the
race of lite in America, and also do
their utmost to give him the gospel
in his native land"

LONG Struggle IS ENDED
Though Lons-Expected Triumph OF
the Grim Reaper Shocked Rome,
and Whole City is in Mourn.
ina-Pontiff Was Ninety.
three Years of Age and
His Reign Most
8 Remarkable.

Pope Leo XIII, the supreme pontiff
Of the Roman Catholic church, passed
from earth in the vatican in Rome,
Italy. at four o'clock Monday after
moon at the age of ninety-three years.
To the last the pope fought for life,
though to all he declared he was ready
to leave. Just before the final end
came, he moved his lips feebly, as
though a parting message struggled
to ind strength for expression. His
last articulate words were a benedic'
ton. :.
The newssof the pope's death spread
rapidly throughout Rome and caused
a most pronounced sensation though
his demise had been hourly expected
for two weeks. The whole city is in
mourning. ,..E .....s
Early in the day a stop had been put
to the visits which had been so ire
auently made to the room Of the dy-
ing pontif. -
Pope Leo died in harness, if not
standing, as he declared he would be,
at least performing his duties to the
end.
Immediately following the death OF
the pope cable dispatches and te!e-
grams were dispatched to all parts
of the world, advising the soVereigns,
rulers and foreign governments OF the
death. Before night fell many teie-
grams of coincidence reached the vati-
can, coming from emperors, kings, po-
litical rulers and high church dignlta-
ries abroad. The vatican officers
were deluged with these messages.
TIE death of the pope brings about
a widespread change in all the admin
issratiye departments of the churcn
and considerably influences questions
of church policy. The change within
thesvatican affects practically all the
officials from the highest to the low
est
The chief international questions
which may be affected by the death OF
thespope are those connected with the
suppression of religious orders in
France, the change of the clergy in
thes new Spanish-American posses
sions, the selections of the successor
of The late Cardinal .aughan and at
tendant questions connected with the
administration Of the church in Eng
land. YsgES Is s5E
All thesnewspapers in Rome, includ-
ingsthose favorable to the present in
stitutions, publish long eulogistic ar
ticles about the defunct. The only dis
cordant note was struck by the social
list organ, Ayanti, which says:
