This service was first rendered under Mr..
Bonner's leadership. at the twenty-se ,ond
internatioq6 Christian Endeavor conven-
ton in Baltimore last July. Over fifteen
thousand people crowded into the big ar
mory on the first evening of the convention
to hear 1t. and thousands were turned away,
making 1t necessary to repeat the program
after the convention, when the armory was
again filled. The festival has since been
produced in Philadelphia with great success.
1t Is now proposed to give the people of
Washington opportunity to hear this
service, and the officers of the District
Christian Endeavor Union feel that Mr..
Fosters able leadership nsureS a rendition
equal If not superior to any of the others.

monized is a particularly striking piece of
music. One of the oldest known Hebrew
hymns said to have been sung by the
priests from the wilderness days onward, Is

.'Hallelujah ohorus,'' from 1.-The Messiah"
Besides the numbers to be rendered by the
chorus there are solos and quartets, and the
audience is expected to join in singing two
or three of the familiar hymns.

THE TRUE SABBATH.
Not Day for Penance, Suffering or
Enforced Solitude.

Bishop John II. Vincent, in the Chautauquan.
The true Christian Sabbath is not day
for penance, for suffering, for enforced soil
tude. 1t was made for man to do man good.
1t was made for bodily rest from the ia
tigues of manual labor; for mental rest from
the pressure Of business problems; for social
rest from the excitements of intercourse
with busy people; for political rest from the
contests and controversies of municipal and
financial and national life. The Sabbath is
in the legislation of all lands, and the more
we study the subject the more plainly ap-
pears the reasonableness, the righteousness,
the necessity of a day made for man--for
man made in the image of God.
Our exciting age, the tension of the times
overworked bodies. overtaxed brains, ankle
ties about business and domestic life and re-
sponsibilities Of every kind require some So
cial regulation to compel recuperation.
How fully.are these requirements met by
the Sabbath stiffness, the subduing power of
sacred music, the impressive solemnites of
public worship, the joy and love of home
life the growing memories hallowed by
love, that draw our souls toward heaven!

origin, seems to have forgotten it?
Answer. 1t is not certain she had for

years would put him in her care ana

The Immunity of Lynchers.
Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Richmond Times-Dispatch.
The Charlotte Observer and the
Raleigh Evening Times believe that
the easy escape OF the lynchers in An
son county had much to do with the
lynching at Salisbury. The Anson
lynchers were arrested, but there was
no trial. Says our Raleigh contem-
porary:
The court was organized for one, but
it did not take place, and great was the
rejoicing thereof. The prisoners were re-
ceived as heroes-fresh from cOnquering
war. Men fell upon their necks at Mon
roe and wept for sheer Joy. On the way
home they had an 'ovation"; Wadesboro
in fact, had a sort of celebration when
they returned. Then the news went forth
that no grand jury composed of white
men in Anson county would render a true
bill against them.
What was the effect? The lyncher felt
that he was above the law; he believed
himself greater than the court. 1t thrill
ed him, and he became bold, brazen, bru-
tai and defiant. "To hell with the lawl"
is his motto. And, judged by the past
performances, he is probably right in
thinking SO. 1t pains all of us who seek
law and order to find that so many de-
cent citizens quietly endorse the act OF
the mob. Their argument is that the
negroes deserved to die; that they are
dead, and SO they want to let it go at
that. But none of us know where the
thing will stop. When prisoners are
taken from under the very nose OF the
court and brutally slain, mob violence
nd fofu of + t,o
lynchers means that IuOre recruits will
be found next time Indeed, the mobs
thereafter are not particular about the
standing or color of the victims. This
crime in Rowan is but the natural Sc
quence of the farce at Monroe.
That article ought to be reprinted
by every newspaper in the South. 1t
is the crux of the whole matter. 1t
is the exegesis of lynching. We do
not treat lynching as a crime. There
is law against it, but it is a dead
letter. Men who take part in such
lawiessness do not expect to be pun
ished for it. Juries will not convict,
even when the lynchers are appre-
hended and indicted.
1t is q serious question for the
South, and there must be change of
sentiment, or worse things will come
upon US. Our most sacred institu-
tions are threatened. Our character
and reputation as people are at
stake. We must make lynching a
crime, and punish it as other felOnies
are punished, or mob violence will
become more and more frequent, and
the mob will become more and more
insolent.
One reason why lynchers are never
convicted is that they are usually
tried at home by juries composed OF
their own neighbors. In all such
cases there should be a change oil
venire, and, if Judge Long hopes to
secure conviction of the Salisbury
lynchers, he should pursue that
course, or, at least, summon a inry
from some remote section OF the
State to try them.

North Carolina Newspapers ON the
Crime Of Mob Murder at Salisbury
The Only Way to Check Lynch
ing is to Punish the Lynchers
The Law Should be Upheld.
A INDUSTRIOUS CRIME.
| Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
No prompting OF the murder,
other than pure wantonness, can he
conceived. Apology or excuse for it
there is none. Our State may he
taxed with lawlessness, with con-
tempt for law and authority, with
barbarism, and we must be dumb.
We stand naked before our enemies.
To this extent the affair is the con-
Germ of us all, for the great public,
contemplating and recoiling from the
recital, will remember not Salisbury,
not Rowan county, but North Caro-
lima. We wish there were a peg upon
which to hang an excuse for the crime.
but there is not. We wish it could
be said that the defendants were
guilty, but theevidence against them
was SO shadowy; that they were SO
rich and powerful that they could
not have been convicted; that their
influence could have paralyzed the
arm of justice, but not so; that if
they had been convicted it was cer-
tain that they would have been par
dOned, but no; that ifconvicted their
friends would have rescued them be-
tween conviction and execution day;
but that will not do. The fact stands
and is indisputable that but for the
work OF the mob these negroes, or
such of them as were guilty, would
have died at the hands of the law
within thirty days The demands of
justice would have been fulfilled and
no man would haveimbrued felonious
hands in their blood. Everybody
knows this. Then why the lynching
except the predominance of the Grim
inal instinct in those who made the
mob? No subterfuge will cover the
case. 1t is an instance Of wholly un-
iustifiable blood outlines.
