THE RIVER OF PEACE STILL
FLOWS.
Great Time at the Fourth Baptist
Church.

Your reporter wended his way on
last Sunday $3.50 p. M, TO the Fourth
Baptist Church, havin head that
there would be n kind of Love Feast
among the Baptists and between some
of their distinguished leaders. 1 took
my seat in the rear and watched the
procet dings. 1t is said for the first
time in thirty-five years peace now
reigns among the colored Baptists of
this city, and the whole town seems to
be rejoicing. AS / sat in the middle
aisle on the last seat watching the pro
ceedings, Notwithstanding the weather
in the morning had been severe, L wit
Messed great crowds of people, coming
from every direction, members of all of
the different churches, and soon / saw
Rev, w, w, Wines and then pT. H. D.
Lewis. and soon / II .ticed entering the
Church Dr. W. f. Graham accompanied
by his wife. AS he walked up the
center aisle Rev. Evans Payne extended
hand of happy greeting, and when he
and DR.. Lewis and all the preachers on
the rostrum greeted one another, it
seemed that Heaven itself had come
down to earth,
Rev. Evans Payne was in his glory
and sang and spoke as seldom we have
heard him before. Drs, Graham and
Lewis addressed the large congregation
while the bread and wine were being
passed. They spoke with profound and
deepest interest. The souls of the people
seemed TO have been stirred. Rev.
Evans Payne announced that Just as
they had assembled at his church, so on
tomorrow at the 9th st. Church would
?. ere gather the ministers and members
of other churches for another glorious
meeting. He said that Rev. DIR. Lewis
and himself with the rest of the pastors
of the city would be present at $3.50
%. m, to unite with DR.. Graham III
having a joyous meeting. We are
proud of this, Mr.. Editor, all through
the congregation we could hear the
people make remarks, some rejoicing
about Editor John Mitchell, Jr., some
rejoicing about DR.. w. I. Johnson
some rejoicing because peace and har
mony reign between the 1st. Baptls
Church and the b St. Church, ant
others rejoicing because they knew
when Drs. Lewis, Graham and Payne
shook hands, peace was sealed forever
IT was declared also that on the secon'
Sunday in January another such meet
ing would be held at the second Bap'
Church and all of the preachers are ex
pected to be present and so they sa
until they get around TO all of TIN
churches.
Yours,
WATCHMAN.

UNCLE HENRY'S OPTIMISM.


don't pretend TO say that things are all
right here below,
2here's few folks that have angels wings,
there's gobs of sin and woe;
Vhe mans a fool that shets his eyes and
says there's nothing wrong
IT ain I the good chap gifts the prize, unless
he's big and strong;
Thls here old world amt heaven yit, it's
full Of wrongs to-day
But I've the faith to think we'u git 'em
Strengthened out some way.
don't uphold the man who stands around
and talks of love
And sort of folds his peaceful hands and
thinks that up above
1here's One who guides US, wet or dry,
who's plannln fer us here
AND who will reach out by and by and
make sin disappear
] don't believe that kind Of stuff, but be-
neve some day
Ne'n have the gr.t and Wit enough to clear
the wrongs away.
] don't deny that God is there-He may be
watchin, too:
But don't let's leave to His kind care the
work We ought to do.
II He'd intended TO take hold and Danish
all the woe
IT seems TO me that He'd of rolled the
clouds back long ago
don't believe that He's inclined TO clear
the wrongs away
But believe He'll let US find out how our
selves, some day
Some people think It amt jest right to not
sing happy songs
About sky that's always bright, a world
that's free from wrongs:
But 1 can't somehow, seem to think it's
noble not to care.
vt that the wrongs at which you wink
don't keep on bein' there
The world amt paradise just yit, there's
sin to wash away,
But 1 believe Wen have the grit to clean
1t up some day

Charles Hayes Writes Mortimer w.
smith to Come After Money he Has
Owed Him for Twenty-Ffve

A very agreeable but surprising mes
sage has been received by Mortimer ~.
Smith, of this. city. Some twenty-five
years ago one Charles Hayes fed from
this section Of the country, owing Mr..
Smith n large amount of money. Moth
ing was heard Of him from the time he
left until he wrote Mr.. Smith from
Washington, d. G.. day or so ago, in
forming him that If ne would come to
Washington he would pay the debt. AR.
Smith win comply with the request next
week and he expects to come back home
yitli a fun ;pocketbook. The interest
alone on the debt amounts to eonsid-
erlbIe sum and that, together with the
principal, will augment Mr.. Smiths bank
decount very much. Hayes, it seems,
went from this city to Mexico nnd pros
percd until he is now a man of wealth.
At this time he !ras an Office in Wash
ington and is living in luxury. It may
be that it is mere conscience money
with Hayes, and, again, the incident
may only be the result Of desire to
pay an honest debt.

BIG MONEY HE OFFERS

muscles stand ont hard and firm over
his massive frame and his skin Is of

Delaney. "JefTrics viii neither spar nor

he ean be and his wind is perfect. His
condition is the finest it was ever in his
life, and if Corbett whips him. he will

Jeffries is heavier than he has ever

Thus spoke Tommy Ryan. the "man
who made JcfFricz." and who has been
preparing Corbett for his fight with JET
fries tonight, when asked today by a
correspondcnt what he thought of the
pendir- battle. Continuing. he said:

noints. We know his condition. his speed
