INTEREST GROWING.
Several Hundred People at Baptist
RtvvaI Last Night.
Evangelist Hau Does Plain Talking
to worldly Minded
Christians.

| The largest congregation that has yet
| heard the evangelist. Rev. M. F.
Ham, was present at the tent meeting
on Eighth street Wednesday night. The
evangelist preached very earnest
sermon, again addressing himself to
! the church members, and beseeching
them to lead more consistent religious
lives. He went straight after the
worldly minded christians, and said
the reason so many Ievivals of the
present day were failures were because
the church people won't deny them
selves of worldly pleasures Worldli-
ness was sapping the strength of the
come to Columbia and preach on the
preach to empty benches. He said the
influence of the worldly minded church
member was worse than that of the
sinner IF we could get the sinners
away from the worldly minded church
members in this town, we would take
Columbia for Christ. F." He paid his re-
spects to the card playing, dancing
church members. He said he haG
more respect for the boy that goes up the
alley into the back door of saloon
and CANDLES for money than he had
for the woman who would desecrate
the sacredness of her home by erecting
in her parlor card tables at which
women can gamble for prizes. He
told of young man who went home
and proudly showed his mother $50,
which he had won at card game, and
the mother burst into tears and told
her boy he had disgraced her. The
son went to the mantel board and took
down a costly vase which his mother
had won at card party, and said,
Mother, if our home has been dis
graced. you are the first one TO dis
grace it. Here is your prize. He |
said there was no such thing as a
dance or harmless card |
patty. If any one in this tent can

To Martial Airs Played By a Union Band the
Old Vets Have Their Annual Tramp.
The GREATEST One EYER HELD.
Bullet RiddIed Battle Flags Of the Lost
Cause Float Through the Breeze In a
Parade Five Miles Long.


Special 70 the Herald.
Nash vile, Tenn, June 16.-The
parade of the United Confederate Vete
rams today was the longest in the his
tory of the association 1t was more
tx an two hours in passing given point
The head of the procession had reach
ed the disbanding point before the
rear section had begun to march. In
full length the procession would have
extended at least five miles. Tennessee,
Kentucky and Alabama were most
largely represented. But all the
southern states, including Maryland and
Missouri were very much in eyiden ce.
There were contingents from Okla
homa, from the Pacific Slope, and one
from Ohio. The parade was Respondent
with lew banners but many old bullet
ridded and badly faded battle flags were
displayed.
The young lady Sponsors in car
riages and some on horse back. The
Daughters of the Confederacy and other
feminine organizat tons lent beauty to
contrast with the stern vissages of the
aged veterans. The band of the Seventh
United States Cavalry from Chicka-
manga Park led the procession and there
were numerous other bands and drum
corps.
The streets and side walks along the
entire line OF the procession were PACK
ed with enthusiastic crowds and the
cheering was at times vociferous. All
of the General Officers came in for loud
applause as aid various organizations.
In addition to the Eeterans, Gov.
Frazier ana staff. and the Tennessee
Malta brought up the rear. There
were about Is 600 persons in the parade
and of those 10 COO we're veterans. The
weather has been very suspicious dur
ing the meeting here and it has been
altogether successful and thoroughly |
enjoyable.

that will go to dance and pray. II
! there is a worldly amusement that is
not carried to an excess, | don't know
il. And | have always noticed one
thing: that the dancing, card playing
church member never saves any souls
for Christ. Some of these days Jesus
is going to come, and he'll find you
PLAYING progressive euchre. Then
what will you have to say He said
the devil would get up just as many
card parties and dances during this
meeting as possible. He said the
church could never do any good as
long as church people go to church on
Sundays carrying long faces and then
60 to card parties and dances SIX days
in the week with a smile on. He said
he had asked one young man since he
had been in Columbia whether his
parents were christians, and he did not
know Actually could not tell me
whether or not his father and mother
were christians Sound asleep. And
that what's the matter in too large
measure with the churches in Column
bia; the members are sound asleep.

lady went forward and made profes-

The meeting at the tent this morning
was the best that has been held yet.
The evangelist preached on the sub
ject, Take up your cross and follow
me- - and the congregation was deeply
stirred. In response to proposition to
those who felt like they had not done
but wanted to do something for the
meeting to go up and give the preacher
their hands, the entire congregation
went forward.

GET INTO THE WORK.

Mr.. Ham is Baptist, and he is here
under the auspices of the First Baptist
Church. But that does not mean that
he is here to make Baptists out of
everybody. His mission to this city is
to preach the religion of the Lord
Jesus Christ and to persuade men to
accept it, for their peace of mind and
happiness here, and for their salvation
hereafter.
He comes counting upon the CO.
operation of all those people who pro-
fess and call themselves christians. He
wants their presence and their prayers ::
and that is not all. he wants their
work. And there is no use of wasting
valua BILE time waiting for the meeting
to warm up. Buckle on the armor,
put on the harness. get into the work.
and help warm it up. Give it your
enthusiasm, and that will enthuse
some one else. Put something into
It, and you will get something out of

It will make itself blessing to you.
There are hungry hearts waiting to

heights of living. They have drunk

tired of the old life, so full of its

CAUSE AND EFFECT.

The Cripple Creek. Colorado, strikers
rest under the condemnation of all
right thinking people. There is no
doubt about that; there is no dispute
about that. But back of all these
strikes and labor troubles there is a
cause; and TO get rid of the effect. We
must first search out and get rid of
the cause.
Labor unions do not bother us in
this community. and the Herald cam
not be accused of pandering to any
labor union sentiment if it takes the
side of LABOR in Its struggle for life.
That Labor is often ignorantly and
sometimes corruptly used by its
leaders, is true; that in their ignor-
ance, impatience and desperation they
make many mistakes, is true that
some of them. many of them, compare
lively small minority of them, how
ever, prefer strikes and excitement
and idleness, to honest work, is not TO
be denied. But the question is, how
Is honest Labor to protect itself against
the tyranny and oppression of organ
lied capital without opposing strength
with strength, union against union.
Capital first set the example. Capital
organized and established its "black
list" rule before Labor ever dreamed
of any such thing, and out of that in
tolerable condition grew Labor Unions,
in obedience to that universal law of
self defense -
Not only did Capital first set this
bad example. but Capital keeps it up.
Labor has asked for arbitration courts
and referendum laws. But Capital
hits high it's naughty head and pro-
claims itself the manager of its own
business Labor claims motherhood
with Capital in the business of the
world. But Capital says mo. you are
the slave, 1 am the master. - Labor
says united we stand. divided we
fall - Capital SCOTS at that and says
we will shut down awhile and starve
that idea out OF you.
Then Labor appeals to Law, and
says, "enforce your mandates against
corporations, trusts and combines, the
breastworks behind which Capital is
encroaching upon our rights and throt-
Ting our energies. And Law prom
Uses much but does nothing, until
Labor loses it's head and commits some
foolish, rash, desperate deed. Then
Capital, suave, cunning and cruel
throws up it's hands in holy horror
and appeals to Law, and then Law
does something. Under the goading
cruelty of combined and organized
Capital the laborer, the citizen, has
become striker hungry, starving, I
homeless creature who, becoming dis l
,ouraged commits some desperate act, c
and Law 1.-THE majesty of which the =
the Combine and Capital t
aughs at J that same Law that cannot t
protect the citizen laborer in his rights l.
when he becomes striker and in
tracts the law, shoots him down; and n
