=, The colored people should join in with
the white people in putting forward every
effort which tends in any manner to pro-
mote the best interest of this country If
public prosperity should require a sacrifice
we should most cheerfuIly contribute our
assistance. Whenever public danger is
threatened We should shoulder arms to re-
pei the aggression and in time of peace we
should be no less loyal.
we. as people, should cease whining
complaining and criticising so much and
work more but at the same time insisting
and demanding that the country to which
we have shown our devotion accord to us
the same constitutional right and immuni-
ties as are accorded to it's white citizens
Mr.. Kings remarks were applauded and

Bruner.
Rev. Dr. Weston Bruner, pastor Of the
Fifth Baptist Church. yesterday morning
preached the second sermon in a series on
Fall Religion" the subject being Com
pulsory Religion" He read for the Scrip
ture lesson part Of the fourteenth chap
ter of Luke. and as his text part Of the
twenty-third verse-'Go out into the high
ways and hedges. and compel them to
come In, that my house may be filled"
DR.. Bruner said that the text clearly
taught that it Is not enough to build a
church, have good music and good SER
mons and then leave 1t to the people to
come or not, as they pleased; that II a
church took that position the result would
be that people would stay away.
He said in order to obey the command
Of the text one should first get con-
seriousness of the awfulness Of sin and a
Christ consciousness.
The annual rally of the Sunday school
of the Fifth Baptist Church was held yes
terday morning. The attendance was large,
and the records showed a considerable in
crease in membership during the past year.

Preservation of the Republic.

Prof Chase Roys made an address be-
fore the Secular League yesterday at Its
meeting in Pythian Temple. Prof. Roys
took as his subject, 1.-THE Dangers That
Threaten This Republic During his dis
course he said that all governments, no mat
ter how good. have enemies and each one
of them, In the height of its power. expect
ed to last forever. All the great govern
ments of NATURALIZATION. Persia, Egypt,
Greece and Rome-have passed into obliv-
ion he said, and this republic, the greatest
and best of the ages, will doubtless END
some time. How it's preservation can be
longest extended Is the question for its citi-
Zens to solve
Prof. Roys declared that republic could
be long maintained without a general diff
fusion of knowledge among the whole peo-
Pile. Therefore the public schools should be
supported, strengthened and improved IN
every way, as the greatest protection to our
institutions and laws.
A discussion began at the close of the
address. during which Messrs. Carter. May
nard Mackenzie, Kintz, Burr and Law
renee took part.

Investigation q New Fork Companies
Theme % a e4rmo1f.

The alleged iniquity Of the life insurance
business was the theme Of Rev Carl g.
Doney. the pastor OF Hamiine M. B. Church.
yesterday. Mr.. Doney said the revelations
Of the insurance investigation in New York
had reached the point where 1t was a ma
tfonal scandal and q national concern. The
acts that had been committed In the big in
surance companies OF New York were crimes
against society.
It was worse than robbery Of the living.
he said. for 1t was the despoiling Of the dead
and taking bread out Of the mouths Of
1t Is far from my purpose to enter Into a
TRADE against those insurance officials
whose testimony evidences gross and GRIM
tnal Encouragement OF trust funds. said
Mr.. Doney. Until the, last word is said the
time for final judgment has not come. But
enough is known to serve as a lesson hav-
Ing broad. practical and intense significance
to every person.
Mr.. Doney said that the crime of jugglery
and peculation In life insurance matters was
particularly Ubiquitous, since 1t Slapped the
very foundations OF the social fabric and
weakened the faith Of man in any provision
he could make for his dear ones.
Peculiarly iniQuttous are these enormous
regulations from trust funds Of insurance
companies" said the speaker. Life insur-
ance has taken to itself character almost
sacred It is made holy by the love that
places in its keeping the future OF our dear
ones. 1t Is the investment OF wise affection,
the storehouse where the loving heart lays
by his garnered offerings for those who will
weep when he Is gone. It Is the treasury Of
tenderness. the hope Of parents for their
children: barrier against the poverty Of
widow and orphan, the magician which
transforms the heiplessness OF childhood
into strength and independence. 1t is the
enlistment of affection. the fine pledge Of
far-reaching mercy.
WHO is the man that violates trust like
this? Let him steal from the blind man
hobbling on the street. let him cheat a
widow OF her pennies. let him spoil the
church of plate and cup; but let him loath
to do wrong SO cruel as to cloud the sky
OF the dying and rob the children Of their
birthrfght Surely. such a man has forgot
ten all brotherhood" g
His conclusion was that the money greed
of modern life is truly the root of all evil
and a striking confirmation of the sacred
warning to that effect

Bows Reported to Be Missing.

: It was reported to the police yesterday
that six small boys were missing. One OF
the six is colored. When 1t was reported
that one of the missing boys lived In the
vicinity of 14th and H streets northeast,
the police surmised that he had probably
followed the pony show from the city. Usu-
ally a plumber of boys go away when
circus leaves and it was believed the small
er tent show might have attracted some OF
them Upon investigation of the case, how
ever, 1t was concluded that the boy had not
followed the show away.
Four Of the six boys returned to their
homes last night and the police think the
others are not far away. The officers were
called upon to look after the boys because
they had remained away from their homes
longer than usual. Some of them, 1t was
said went out nutting yesterday and did
not return as soon as they were expected
to, and their parents became alarmed.

Magnet Used to illustrate Sermon.

Rev. C. P. Stealey. the new pastor of the
West Washington Baptist Church, George
town, illustrated his sermon yesterday with
a magnet.
This magnet" he said, will attract iron
to itself by a way that cannot be explained
No one can understand electricity. but all
profit by its use. One hundred years ago
there was as much electricity as there Is
today, but men were In ignorance of it
and it was therefore of no service. The
Holy Spirit, whose power the world cannot
see or understand, possesses the same power
as the magnet. As the magnet --raws iron
to itself SO does Christ instill a power in
Christians that draws mankind to Him."

FOILED BY THE POLICE
YOUTHFUL COUPLES MARITAL
PROJECT DEFERRED.

A youthful couple from Lucketts. Loudoun
county, Va, Miss Fredda Ayres and Mr.
Victor Mullen. arrived here last night on
train from Point of Rocks, Nd, on matri-
mony intent, and were surprised when De-
tective ODea and Policeman Buckley stop
ped them on the platform and told them
they were under arrest.
For what7' was the inquiry OF the young
man,
Just so you can't get married, that's ALL"
he was told.
His prospective bride was very much dis
concerted over the action of the police and
did not relish the idea of being held pris
oner There was nothing she could do other
than accompany the police however. and
she reluctantly went with them to the sixth
precinct police station.
The couple were arrested upon the re-
quest by telephone from Joseph +. Hough,
grandfather OF Miss Ayres, who had pur-
sued the couple across the river and reach
ed Washington Grove. He-came to the city
as soon after sending the message as pos
sible and his grandchild returned home with
him today.
Miss Ayres is only fifteen years old, while
Victor Mullen, the prospective groom. has
already celebrated his twenty-second birth
Gay. They live on adjoining farms and have
been acquainted practically all their lives.
Plans Formed Yesterday.
Yesterday morning Miss Ayres attended
church service with her grandfather and
while there she saw Mr.. Mullen. While the
question of matrimony had not been dis
cussed by them before, 1t was not until they
met at church that they decided upon elop-
ing. They arranged that Victor should
have his horse and buggy conveniently near
and that Miss Fredda should meet him as
soon after dinner as she could get away.
Going to her room the girl put a coat
heavier than the one she had worn to
church. and as she passed out the door she
was asked where she was going
Not very far" was her response and
then she hurried along the lane to the
road.
1t dawned upon the grandfather that she
had probably gone away with Victor Mullen
to get married and he resolved upon i'm
mediate pursuit. By the time he had his
team ready to start the young couple were
several miles away. He heard of them as
river, and also that they had patronized
the man at the ferry Urging his horse
along the road, he succeeded in reaching
Washington Grove some time after sun
down. Thanks to the telephone SYSTEM in
the county. he was able to ascertain that
the couple had boarded a train at Point of
Rocks and come toward this city.
Twas a Fast Train.
1t was the intention of the young couple
to get off at Rockville and get married
but the train was a fast one and made no
stop at the county seat of Montgomery
county. 1t was therefore necessary for
them to come all the way to this city The
telephone message reached here ahead of
them, however, and Detective ODea and
the policeman picked them out of the crowd
on the platform.
Miss Fredda was sent to the house of de-
tentfon, where she remained until this
morning, when her grandfather took charge
or her. Mullen, 1t is understood, returned
on the Baltimore and Ohio road in order
TO get his horse and buggy and drive home
