There is never a great movement of
any sort, kind or description that there
are not some doubling Thomases hon
est doubters, too. And it was so at
the beginning of the Gates Tabernacle
meeting, and all during the meeting.
There were some people all the while
who thought Mr. Gates might have left
undone some things he did, and left
unsaid some things he said. But we
do believe at the final meeting Sunday
might when that great army of converts
stood up and crowded the aisles, it
must have been the unanimous YER
dict of the vast throng present, that
this has been great meeting, and
great good has been accomplished, and
the man who led it is no ordinary
man." Not only the number of the
converts, but the character of the
converts, and the courage of the con-
verts, brushed all doubts and criticism
of methods and non-essentials aside
and compelled the mind to take hold
of the one great question that here are
hundreds of men and women born
again to a new and different and bet
ter life, and the force that does that
is a force for eternal good and that
force is the force of the Holy Spirit,
invoked by the spirit of faith and pray
er, working upon the hearts of men. |
We would add just one word of admon
ition: Eternal vigilance is the price |
of liberty" Religion is life, founded |
upon a belief; and the soul that sleeps |
is dead. And we would make just one !
suggestion: Why not make these union |
prayer meeting services, and union
Sunday evening services, revival occa-
sions, every one of them? Why should
the pastors not call for penitents, earn
estly, and plead with them to come;
and why should not those who have
worked so faithfully these past weeks,
their good work? Were they /
for Mr. Gates, or the Master?
If for the Master, He is still here, and
He is still calling for their service,
and there are hundreds yet of unsaved
souls, restless and uneasy, cropping in
he darkness of their sins. Let the !.
good work go on.

A NEW FORM.
(Contributed.)


In a recent number of THE Out
look" there appeared the following
form of, the well known, prayer, Nov
1 lay me down to sleep"
Instead of teaching the child to pray
that he may be taken to Heaven if he
should die in the night, this prayer
teaches him to ask that when he
wakes in the morning light he may go
forth and continue in the path of love,
to serve God by serving humanity.
Death is part of life. The christian
man is to die as he would do any other
duty. He is best prepared for death
who lives the most unselfish and use
full life; and we commend this prayer
to those to whom is allotted the sacred
and important duty of teaching a child
his first prayer.
Now lay me down to sleep,
pray the Lord my soul to keep,
When in the morning light l wake,
Help me the path of love to take,
And keep the same for thy dear sake"
That God is a thoroughly unselfish
being, and hat religion is an unselfish
thing are truths that will be more
fully realized in the sweet by-and-by.
They are in no small degree being
realized in the mist and fog of the

other candidate for this office who

Senator Carmack does not divide
the receipts of this lecture; he gives
all to the Y. NJ c. A. of Columbia. 1t
is the same lecture which so charmed
the Board of Trustees of Washington

ferred upon Mr.. Carmack the degree
OF Doctor of Laws. 1t is dollar lee

go to one of the best character bnild-
ing institutions in Columbia; and for
one and all these reasons combined,
the Tabernacle should be as crowded
next Tuesday night week, and stand

was last Sunday night
We hope Columbia and the country
round about will hear this lecture
We hope for their sakes that they
will hear it. We do not believe there
is man or woman half grown boy or
girl, in this town or country round
about who would miss it if they knew
how much they would enjoy it. We
do not believe any mother or father
would begrudge the small cost OF TAX

MURDER SUSPECT
FURNISHES BAIL
NEGRO TAILOR OF PASADENA
GAINS LIBERTY
District Attorneys office Says Alleged
Slayer Of James Logan viii Not
BE Tried Unless Witness
Is Found

j. ]. Jaxon, a Pasadena negro
charged with the murder of James
Logan, was released from custody late
last night by furnishing bonds Of
$1,000
1t is said that unless some unforeseen
event occurs whereby the states at
torneys secure actual evidence the
case will be dropped and Jaxon will
be allowed to go free.
The crime with which Jaxon is
charged occurred several months aRo
on the Raymond golf links at Pasa-
dena. Logan, young mulatto, who
was well known in Pasadena for his
honesty was lured to a ravine on the
links and there, 1t is supposed, in the
presence Of the woman who lured him
and the avenger who awaited him,
was killed. His head was fearfully
crushed and his throat, face and body
were slashed with a knife
Found by caddy
Following the murder the body was
rolled into the bed of the ravifie and
covered with hay. The following
morning caddy hunting a stray golf
ball came across the grewsome object
and in terror reported his find to the
police.
Deputy Sheriff Bert Franklin was
put to work and succeeded in obtaining
a remarkable chain of circumstantial
evidence against Jaxon, but no actual
facts connecting him with the murder.
Finally the police decided to arrest
Jaxon and he was held to answer in
the superior court after trial at Pasa-
dena. Since then the negro has re-
mained in Jail, while the officers have
searched high and low for the woman
whom they feel sure was a wit.
ness to the murder of the young man
she had lured to his death.
Several attempts have been made to
connect JaXon with the knife found
near the body of the murdered man.
That revenge and not robbery was the
object Of the murder was the theory
accepted by the officers, for the dead
mans watch was taken and thrown
away to make it appear that the body
had been robbed, but the murderer
failed to take the money from his
victim.
Bail Is Reduced
Yesterday for the fourth time the
Jaxon case was called In the criminal
department of the superior court. At
torney McComas of the district at
torney's office stated in court that the
only evidence at hand was circum-
stantial and that while it formed a
strong chain around Jaxon, yet it
lacked convicting qualities necessary
to the prosecution.
"If we do not find the woman we
believe saw the murder or if we fail
to secure the evidence we seek, then
the case against this man will be
dropped said McComas. I'm the
meantime we viii consent that Jaxon's
bail be changed to $4,000 instead of
$4,000, and we will postpone the trial
six weeks
Late yesterday evening, just before
Judge Smith left the court house, the
bonds were taken before him and
signed. An orange grower of Pomona
and a banker of Pasadena furnished
the required sum and JaXon was al
lowed to return home
