My friends who are not commnr,
cants, you think that you are hearin,
strange things said to-day. And Is
you are. But you have no idea. and
you would not believe it if it We're toIs
you, the half of what some of tbooa
people sitting there went through am
last week, while you were asleep in yon,
beds. For, after taking them tbrongh
all the chambers of iniquity in their own
hearts all the week, at the end of ths
week, and on the nigslt before ths
supper, He selected some two or tbrns
of them and took them with Him into
the garden of Gethsemane. And az
they stood near Him, and saw Him first
kneel down on His knees, and then fall
down on His face, and then wrestle with
an enemy unseen by them, till Hg
sweat was at it were great drops Of
blood falling to the ground He said to
them: know ye what l am doing, and
for whom 1 am doing it?" Be it known
to you that all this has come upon Me
for your sake, and for the sake of your
sins. The wages of such sins as yours
is Gethsemane to Me tonight, and
Calvary to Me tomorrow" Yes; as
sure as you sit there, Jesus Christ said
and did all that, night after night all
last week to every thoroughly worthy
and thoroughly self-examined communi-
cant. Was 1 wrong then when I said that
there were far more wonderful things
going on in our own houses in this city
in our communion week than anything
that the Israelities saw in the land OF
Goshen that passover week? And all
because Christ, our Passover, has been
sacrificed for us.
Now, after all that, no man will
wonder at the strange company thai
will be congregated into the Table to-
day. Nor will anyone wonder at the
strange things that are to happen to all
those who are to be accounted worth!
to sit at the Table to-day. or He who
has been preparing a people for Hin'
self all the past week will to-day come
into this house Himself when the Tabs
is spread. And when the elders oHeF

Christ will, at that same moment, oHeE
Himself to them again with all His sour

ties; the passover supper eaten by the
| people with their loins grit, and their
shoes on their feet, and their staff in
their hand; and then, their miraculous
deliverance. AS they stood on the
further shore of the Red Sea, we'll might
Moses and Aaron and Miriam sing and
say: I'VE have seen strange things
done to-day" And, then, the wonders
of the wilderness, and the wonders of
the Jordan, and the wonders of the
Promised Land. All ending in the Pass
over Supper in the upper room, and in
the institution of the Lords Supper;
which supper we are met to-day to cele-
brate in the end of the world, and in
this far-off island of the sea. What
strange story, first and last, is all
that!
2. And, then, if that was a most
wonderful week in the land of Goshen,
and full of the most wonderful expert
ences and preparations, much more
wonderful have our own experiences
and our own preparations been all last
week in this congregation. Let a
man examine himself" the Holy
Spirit kept sounding in our hearts all
last week. Till every intending COM
municant, knowing by experience the
averseness and the stubbornness of his
own heart to such determination and
to such self-knowledge, turned to God
all the week with this prayer:
Examine Thou me, o Lord; examine
me, and prove me; try my heart and
my reins. Let my sentence come forth
| from Thy presence. Search me, God,
and know my heart; try me, and know
my thoughts; and see if there be any
wicked way in me, and lead me in the
way everlasting" And then when in
TO fIai,, fh0G
and holiness took the examination of
His people into His own hands, oh!
what a week it was in the experience OF
some Of them! The thousandth part of
their sinfulness, and of their agony of
heart on account of their sinfulness,
could not be told. They could not even
begin to tell their experiences of last
week; no, not even to their most con-
fidential friends. No; not though their
friend has been in the same furnace
all the week himself So did God search
some of His people, and try them, and
cast them all the week into furnace
of sinfulness seven times heated. SO
did He set unimaginable snares of sin
discovering providences all round their
feet. So did He plunge them into the
depth of their own hearts, till they felt
themselves to be in the bottOmless pit
itself They knew that they were great
sinners before last week; indeed the
chief of sinners; but sin could no fur
Their go with mortal man than it went
with them when God made their SEN
tence to come forth from His holy pres
ence. The houses of Jerusalem used to
be searched with lighted candles all the
week before the Passover. But the
houses and the hearts Of some Of our
intending communicates were searched
to a depth, and to an intensity, that no
candle that was ever lighted in Jeru-
salem could at all typify or represent.

His disciples among us: What! are

charges and CONDEMNED the attempt to SASH

who has read both sides of the case but what
has been made better friend of Hoke Smith.
The Hampton letter that has been made to
work over time since the day Clark Howell
bought it from the poor widow with a promise
of life employment has rebounded in the face OF
the men who procured it, every man in Geo rgla
knows that secretary Hoke Smith did all that ne
honorab1y could do for her and that his oppnents
went deep down into the slime of politics to
manufacture mud ball that has returned to
smite them. Mrs. Hampton's relatives and
friends will vote for Hoke smith and sufficient
number of honest men, to give him the largest
majority any candidate has had in state con.
vention.
The ugliest of all the vicious charges is con-
tanned in the famous negro circular, with the re.
suit that fair minded men by the thousands have
set their seal of disapproval on the effort to pref
udice them against man who did all in his pow
er for southern white men and women as long
as he was in the cabinet.
The efforts to show that Mr.. Smith is
populist or in sympathy comes with sorry grace
for men who gave more comfort to populism
when it actually menaced democracy in Georgia
Ali of this convinces us that we are right in
our support of the popular candidate.

Last week we sent Railroad Commissioner

Last week we sent Railroad Com missioner
Joseph M. Brown copy of the circular letter
announcing our candidacy for railroad commits
sioner. Mr.. Brown announced Saturday to the
Constitutions representative about the capital
that what he'd do for us would be plenty"
and when asked if he would be candidate said,
"the Governor has not approved or vetoed the
bll' that his announcement then would be in
bad taste. The presumption is that what he
does for us then will not only be plenty, but
in good taste. Mr.. Brown permits the reporter
to presume that we are not eligible to the Office,
on the theory that we are not practical railroad
man. or person experienced ia railroad BUSH
ness.
We are perfectly willing to compare rec
ords with Commissioner Brown and we shall
abide the action of the convention cheerfully, or
if it fails to act, take chances with Mr. Brown
at the polls in October
Speaking of dirty politics where has the
dirt come from? At who's head has it been di-
rected? What has been the result?
One of the dirtiest things attempted was
the Dempsey prosecution instigated by broth

Hoke Smith with professional men, the result is
that nea ~ hundred lawyers who have prac-

LESS CRIME in AUSTRALIA
Secular Education Does Not Increase
Crime According To Report
of OhlceF.

SYDNEY, May 1s.-Cspecisl Cablegram to
The Bee.)-In connection with the state
ments frequently made alleging an increase
Of crime in Australia owing to secular edu-
cation, Captain Metenstein, comptroller
general OF prisons. characterizes the story
as arrRnt humbug.
His report for 1905 shows a remarkable
diminution OF crime in New South Wales
During the thirteen years just ended the
number OF prison inmates I'm relation to
population has decreased almost 80 per cent
At the end of 1906 the number of prisoners
OF all kinds was 1855. as compared with
1880 in 1904 and 26o4 in 1894 In spite OF the
growth Of the population from 10000 to
10000 the actual decreases in the number
of prisoners in the ten years just ended
are in New South Wales 775 and in Victoria
S1s The total entries to Jail also showed
a large decrease, and not half OF the total
entry were born in New South Wales, and
of the remainder 1857 came from the United
Kingdom. The Jail figures, borne out by
police reports, show that the country is re-
markably free from serious crime, and ex-
pert offcials intimately acquainted with
both cities declare there is much more
lsrrikinism in London than in Sydney.

PROBABLE FATE OF MURDERER

to The Bee)r-An official denial is given to
the statement that It is intended to cruelty
the Marrakosh cobbler. Hadj Mohammed
Mosfewi, who has confessed to the murder
of thirty young women.
There is an old Moorish custom which
admits Of criminals being burnt alive when
there is strong public demand for this
form of execution, but the probability is
that Mosfewi and his female aocomplice
will be beheaded
rhe true facts in connection with the
murders are that Mosfewi and a female
accompice ramed Rahali. 70 years old,
were in habit of inviting young Moorish
women to dinner.
During the dinner they administered a
narcotic to their victims and afterwards
murdered them in their sleep, with the OBJ
ject of robbing them Of whatever Jewels
and other valuables they possessed
When the crime was discovered thirty
headless bodies were found buried beneath
a room in the cobblers house. While the
accused couple were being conducted to
Jail under arrest an infuriated crowd
made an effort to lynch them Both were
afterwards driven around the city on dom
keys in half naked state, and were pub
lcly hogged, during which process they
made loud confessions of their crimes.
The families of the murdered women
