NEED OF LAW ENFORCEMENT
DURING THE WORLDS, FAIR.
The Reverend John r. Cannon Says
the influence of HOOdiunts Should
Be Checked in St. Louis.

The need of law enforcement and of
determined efforts TO bring about better
moral conditions in ST. Louis during the
Worlds Fair was the subject of the SER
mon delivered at the Grand Avenue Pres
byter!an Church yesterday morning by the
pastor, the Reverend John F. Cannon.
Taking for his text Mat. V, Il: "A city
that is set on a hill cannot be hid he
said In part:
Apply the text literally TO st. Louis at
the present time. st. Louis during the
Worlds Fair will be a city set on a hill.
We will have thousands of strangers
among us. They will leave an impression
on as and we will make an impression or
them.
"Laudable efforts are being made to
clean and b~eautify the city for the APP
preaching event, but much needs to be
done to better moral conditions that it
may be attractive in every way to the
stranger.
IF newspaper accounts are correct that
august body. the Grand Jury. the Police
Commissioners and the Excise Commits
sioner recently decided that it was i'm
practible to enforce the laws-the laws
which provide for the closing of saloons
on Sunday. If a certain class Of people
cannot be made 70 obey the laws, why
should anyone be made to obey any law?
Follow that to its logical conclusion and
We have anarchy.
THE pitisble suggestion has been made
that in view of the large number Of
foreigners who will visit st. Louis. who
are not accustomed to observe Sunday at
home, it would be well to forego the OBJ
ervanc of Sunday during the Worlds
Fair. Why should we do this? As Daniel
Webster well said. The American Sab

EVERY MAN CALLED BY GOD
TO PERFORM CERTAIN TASK.
Reverend Doctor Johnston Again Oc-
cupies Delmhr Avenue baptist
Church Pulpit After Absence.

After an absence of two months spent
at Hot Springs, Ark. to regain his health.
the Reverend Doctor J. T. NJ. Johnston
again occupied the pulpit at the Deimar
Avenue Baptist Church yesterday. Doc
tor Johnston preached on the text, Ex.
Ill. 4. "And when Jehovah saw that he
turned aside to see, God called to him."
Doctor Johnston said, in part:

amid the granite precipIces and the silent
valleys of Horeo that we find Moses
when God called him.
The fact OF Gods call to Moses is as
fully verified as any fact in history. In
one sense history was born on that night.
when God called Moses and he responded.
Before this event we find isolated incidents

THE entire circumstances of the chill
dren of Israels bondage is so dependent
upon the call of Moses that the two stand
or fall together. IL the children of Israel
crossed the Red Sea and were led into the
promised land. then Moses was called of
God TO lead them.

Now that "The Sage OF Esopus'' has

regard to the origin and meaning of

which Judge Parker lives. The name
was first applied to the Esopus Creek,
which rises In the foothills of the

Saugerties. north Of Kingston. The
name Esopus also appears to have
been applied by the Indians to the
place where is now the city Of Kings

La historical event which began in

out between the Dutch settlers and the

the destruction of Wiltwyck by saw

twenty-one men and carried of forty
women and children. Governor Stuy-

Indians. recapturing the prisoners,
When the English secured the New
Netherlands they changed the name of
the village to Kingston. and it became
the flrstcapital of this state. Esopus
was later applied to a town in Ulster
County in which the village and West

now situated; but the creek bearing
the name does not flow through this
town, which has the Hudson on one
side and theWalkill on the other.
