At Tabernacle Last Night.

A large audience was present at the Tab
ernacle church last night. Mr.. Meredith
led the song service. Immediately preeed'
ing the sermon he sang as solo Abiding
in Jesus
The subject of Dr. Bruner's discourse
was Prayer" based on Scriptures from
Matt. s. Luke II, and Act II. The text
was Lord teach us to pray. Luke
III, and he spoke as follows:
l desire to divide this subject into two
divisions: First, encouragement to the
Christian to pray; and second, to the SIN
ner. There is no privilege so great as that
of prayer l believe that it is@orth more
to teoch one man to pray than ten TO
preach. Jesus never taught his disciples
to preach, but He did teach them to pray.
One of the greatest needs OF our people is
prayer.
| want us to consider this division of
the subject under three heads; namely,
the plea for prayer, the preparation Tor
prayer, and the power of prayer. 1t is
great privilege to speak to the President,
but it is the greatest privilege to speak to
God 1t is not only privilege to pray,
but it is commanded that men ought al
ways to pray" And it is an exercise that
is honored as nothing else Is honored.
Moody, Edwards and Prentiss were the
greatest men of God the world mas known
since IIuJner = DAY, an tue SctISb VI l;tSiA
power was prayer. Tharc must be prepa-
ration. Before we can pray we must let
our lives respond to the Spirit OF God.
If YOU believe in God when you pray he
will answer your prayers.
But prayer is for rhe sinner. too. God
only answers one prayer from him. and
that prayer must be for sin. And tue
penitent sinner that comes to Him he will
in no wise cast out.
At the close of the sermon several con
fessed Christ. The service tonight prom.
ises to be very interesting. DR.. Bruner
will preach from a very interesting sub.
ject to the lost, and Mr.. Meredith will
sing. Everybody invited to this service.

Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer.)
Washington, N. c., April 21.-The post
mortem inquiry held over the body of John
Rue and the preliminary hearing before
coroner and justice were conducted today
and the result is that John Reid, one of
the defendants, was discharged and il me-:
Moore was held in a six hundred dollar
bond, which he has given The concensus
of opinion is that the defendants got off
light.
The plea of the prisoners was self-de
fense and by the evidence introduced this
plea has been well established. Rue, the
man killed, had been drinking and was
abusive and boisterous The two women
in the case, Maud Martin and Mamie
Hill, went out in the country together,
and John Kinnin and John Rue followed
them in bur Both men and women
began drinking, and the women got into
the buggy They drove several miles,
when Kinnin noticed two men coming to-
wards them on wheels. They proved to
be John Reid and James Moore.
When they came up Reid got off his
wheel, went to Maud Martin, who was
seated in a buggy and remarked: This
is nice of you out here with Rue.
Reid then grabbed her by the arm Rue,
the murdered man with stick ran up
and struck him back of the head. The
lick staggered Reid, who turned and Waa
met with the stick second time on the
forehead.
James Moore then STEPPED up and said
to Rue: MY friend, / wouldn I do any
thing like this
Rue at once attacked him with the
stick, which was about four feet long. lie
struck at Moore the second time and
threw his hand towards hip pocket, when
Moore drew his revolver and fired, the
ball striking Rue in the breast Rue
walked a few feet and fell.
Moore was retreating all the while and
shot Rue as the latter was advancing.
Immediately after the shooting Reid
took the stick, placed it beside the body
and told the women to come to the city.
Moore then asked: ''What had we bet
ter do?" Reid replied: Lets go 90
Washington and give ourselves over to
the sheriff" which they did.
Rue was under the influence OF liquor
and was cursing Maud Martin, one OF
the women when Reid and Moore arrived
on the scene.
The coroners jury rendered the follow
ing verdict THAT John Rue came to
his death by a pistol shot wound inflicted
by one James Moore.
Preliminary hearing was also held be-
fore Justice Of the Peace A. Mayo and
Reid was DISCHARGED and Moore held un-
der $500 justified bond Moore is
resident of Greenville an bears a most ex-
cellent reputation.
