PATIENCE, SAYS MINISTER,
is EVER-PRESENT VIRTUE
Epistle of Paul Cited in Support of
Biblical Interpretation of
the Attribute.
TRIALS WORK REWARD

Patience never ceases to be a virtue. If
the sermon OF the Rev. DR.. Albert Hurl-
stone yesterday morning is considered.
He traced to the congregation at Roberts
Park NJ. Z. Church the evolution of this
virtue. His text was Romans V, "a, ''Trib-
ulation wor5eth patience, and patience ex-
perience, and experience hope
"Our text is a portion of Paul's great
argument on the effects of Christs death
upon the worlds salvation said DR.. Hurl-
stone. Jesus our Lord was delivered for
our offenses, and raised again for our jus
tifcation. Therefore, being justified by
faith, we have peace with God through our
Lord Jesus Christ, by whom also we have
access into this grace wherein we stand,
and rejoice in hope of the glory of Cod
And not only so. but we also glory in
fluctuations. knowing that tribulation
worketh patience, and patience experience,
and experience hope Lowell says: The
only faith that. wears well and holds its
colors in all weathers Is that which is WOW
en- of conviction and set with the sharp
mordant of experience Such faith the
writer of this epistle had and such he de-
sired all Christ's followers to have. In the
evolution of Christian graces patience is
said to be developed by tribulation. The
term tribulation is a Latin derivation. 1t
comes from the antique word 'tribulum,
which means a fail threshing instru-
ment. To tribulate is literally to thrash
out the wheat. 1t implies TO crush, to lac
crate or disntegrate, to separate the wheat
from the chaff, the gold from the dross,
and the intrinsically precious from the ref
use, which the wind driveth away. In it's
higher and moral significance tribulation is
equivalent to suffering. Whatever comes to
us from the world without, whatever arises
in our world whiting that can generate pain,
sorrow or conflict is covered by the term
tribulatOn. When this appointment enters
into the moral discipline of God IL has for
its ultimate the betterment, the coronation
of man, hence Paul says, we glory in trib-
ulatiOn.
80 the great principle is set forth that
tribulation or the mystery of suffering is
the conditional means of evolving highest
excellence, patience, experience and hope.
Patience is the habit of mind shown in
passive endurance of the evils TO which man
is liable; passive fortitude. 1t is the suf-
fering of affiictiOn, toll, provOcation or
other evils with a positive spirit Of resigna-
ton, fortitude or pious acceptance, long
suffering, meekneSs, submissiveness. 1t is
the exercise of unfaltering endurance and
perseverance in any work or activity in
pursuit of desired end, constancy.
1T manifests itself in forebearance or
painstaking care towards others in view
of their infirmities, faults or stupidity es-
pecially looking to their education. recla-
nation, or comfort in sickness or age. 1t is
ability to wait in calm expectation for the
final unfolding of Gods plans"

EFFECT OF MOBOCRACY

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Feb 2S.-The AgeG
Herald tomorrow will publish the follow
ing letter from Booker T. Washington. I'M
der date of Feb. %:
Within the last fortnight three members
of my race have been burned at the stake:
of these, one was woman. No one of the
three was charged with any crime even re-
motely connected with the abuse of a white
woman. In every case murder was the sole
accusation. All of these burnings took place
in broad daylight, and two of them &C.
Cured on Sunday afternoon, in sight of a
Christian church.
These burnings without trial are In the
deepest sense unjust to my race; but it is
not this injustice alone which stirs nv
heart. These barbarous scenes, followed. as
they are. by the publication of the shocking
details. are more disgraceful and degrading
to the people who innict punishment than
those who receive it.
IF the law is diSregarded when a negro
is concerned, it will soon be disregarded
when a white man is concerned, and besides,
the rule of the mob destroys the friendly
relations which should exist between the
races, and Injuries and interferes with the
material prosperity of the communities con-
cerned.
Worst of all. these Outrages take place
in communities where there are Christian
churches, in the midst of people who have
Sunday schools, Christian Endeavor So
cieties and Young Mems Christian Associa-
tiOns; where collections are taken up for
sending missionaries TO Africa and China,
and the rest of the so-called heather world.

WARE & LELAND's
weekly stock Letter.

New York, Dec. 10.-The stock mar
ket this week went through a slump
similar to the great panic of May g.,
1901, with conditions almost the same.
The fearful break in prices on that day
was caused by the fight for the control
of the Northern Pacific. This time, Mr..
Lawson made a bitter and uncalled for
attack on Amalgamated Copper. That
stock started down with great rapldlty.
Thousands of spectators rushed in to
cover long contracts and that preclpi-
tated a panic in almost every security
on the list. Fortunately the decline
was checked by the powerful syndl-
Gates in New York, and as always is
the case, sentiment Immediately turn
ed the other way, and the week ends
with prices in many cases as high as
before the slump. This is briefly the
history of the stock market for the past
week. 1t is natural in a great market
like this, it has happened before and
will happen again, but not for long
time The panic has really been a
benefit and puts the market on a much
safer basis. There is really no reason
for a further decline. The railroads
are making just as much money. The
financial institutions are as solid as
ever and above all, money is easy, and
in our opinion stocks Will go hlgher
than ever. We call attention to Nor
folk and Western. We have told our
friends right along this stock would sell
at So. 1t was we'll supported through
the panic and since then has made a
new record, 1874. Chesapeake and Ohio
should have a further advance. Buy
Missouri Pacific and Rock Island. They
have all had a good shake out and will
do better. The storm has passed, the
sky has cleared and left a safe road
for further advances.
