WHEN HOSTILITY TO NEGRO
WILL VANISH-DR. WATSON.
Rector Says 1t Will Pass with Indus
trial Classes-Is Class, Not
Race, Problem.

THE Negro Question: was the subject
for 4 sermon by the Rev. DIR. Edmund A.
WATSON, of st. Stephens Episcopal
Church, at Clinton and Elizabeth avenues,
last night.
DIR. WATSON made a tour Of the South
recently and spoke from personal expe-
rience. He claimed that the negro problem
was not one of race, but of class. The
minister said that the education of the
negro in the South is pronounced a failure,
the real reason being that 1t renders the
negro less subject. Likewise in the North
eht higher education of children of the
laboring class is objected to because It
raises them above the rank Of servants
and willing laborers.
1T is charged against the Southern
efficient he becomes" said DR.. WATSON.
"In the very same words President Mellens
of the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad, recently declared that for
several years every increase OF pay nao
been accompanied by a decrease in eff
cheney.
Through the North at the present time
the call is for cheap labor, the very rec
concentration that the South has held out
to Northern capital in its class of negroes.
AS It is at bottom a class and not a racial
ISSUE. the situation would be the same
were the personnel reversed. Northern men
in the South curse the nesrus+aE they
cursed the white labor union in the North,
And Southerners in the North soon come
TO occupy the Northern position.
"Wheth-r white or black or red or vel
low, the universal demand is that the Ia
borer be tractable. cheap and content with
his position. Racial and religious differences

The hostility to the negro viii exist as
long as industrial classes, and with their

someone says to me, The church is not

that | know that some individuals i'm some
churches are not %brotherly. They are,
however, under treatment which Is calcu-

is not a divine institution, but it has a
habit of longing for that brotherhood
which was in Jesus.

CAMPAIGN LESSONS.
Rev. Dr. Jolley Urges Practitioners to
Support Bishops Law.

The Rev. DR.. Slower S. Jolley, pastor Of
81. Johns A. NJ. e. Church, Academy
street, discoursed last evening upon the
topic, Our Moral Obligations as Citizens,
or Lessons from the Campaign" Our
moral obligations as citizens" said DR..
Jolly, have developed in some quarters a
lack of conscientious force. Citizenship
and morality seem to have lost that fra
ternal touch of harmony that Is most
needed and most desirable In a political
campaign.
''Our obligations as citizens are plainly
manifest and there should be no effort
made to dodge the moral and religious re-
sponsibllity that now devolves upon every
voter. The highest standard of morality
must be sustained and every citizen should
see to it that his ballot is not given for a
cause that will demoralize the s~acredness
of the Sabbath day. or promote a possible
repeal of the Bishops bill. The lessons
from the campaign should teach us, as
citizens, that civic righteousness can only
be attained through the advoeation Of
clean, moral principles"

Keep Measure in Force.
Especial tc the Evening start

ELIZABETH, Nov. 4.-With Sunday
Observance" as his theme. the Rev
Charles Sumner Kemble, M. A., b. D.,
pastor of the Park Methodist Episcopal
Church, made a strong appeal to the
voters in his congregation last night to
vote on Tuesday for those who are
pledged to the support of the Bishops
bill. There was a large congregation
present, and conspicuous in it were
Surrogate George T. Parrot, the Re-
publican leader of Union County, who
is an official member of Park Church.
and Alderman Kimber c. Taylor, the
Republican leader in the City Council,
who is a trustee of the church. While
Pastor Kemble mentioned neither po-
litical party by name, it was obvious
which way he would haFs his parish
toner's cast their ballots.
Holding up a pamphlet, which at
tackled the Bishops law, to the con-
gregation Mr.. Kemble said: Before
you 7 hold a pamphlet bearing on its
cover Fanatism.' Fanatism, there IS
no such word in the English language.
The word is obsolete. as are the argu-
of the author of this book" Mr..
Kemble, then holding the book open
with the pages facing the congrega-
ton, said:
IT want you to look at these pages.
Every other page you will notice is the
advertisement of a brewery, saloon or
cafe"
Another publication which the min
lister raped was Liberty" a maya
zine issued by the Seventh Day Ad-
ventists. Mr.. Kemble pointed u the
necessity of one days rest in eve and
commended that the great majority are
in favor of it. He made a strong plea
for the Bishops law, and urged all
voters in his congregation to cast their
votes on Tuesday for those men who
will uphold this measure.
THE restraints of the Sunday law"
he said in closing, ARE the conservators
of our nation

PREACHER ON "M0RAL
ISSUE OF CAMPAIGN"
The Rev. Peach Says It's Voters Duty
to Insist on Sacredness
of Sabbath.

1.-THE Moral Issue of the Present
Campaign was the topic discussed by
the Rev. Robert W. Peach, the new
pastor of the Emmanuel Reformed
Church, at Broad street and Fourth
avenue, last evening.
The pastor deplored what lie spoke of
as the lack of interest shown by many
in failing to realize the momentous
moral questions, that were very es4
sential issues of the present political
campaign. In the desire to achieve
civic and State supremacy, through the
suffrage Of the ballot, the religious
side of the matter, in effect, had been
seriously disregarded, he said. Morality
and municipal cleanliness must be pre-
served, and to assure a normal Chris
tanned condition of affairs, these two
factors should be earnestly promoted
by a conscientious and faithful use of
the ballot by every citizen. The sa-
credness of the Sabbath day must not
be disturbed, or its purely religious
tenets made abortive, through the en-
couragement of immoral conditions.
which are a serious reflection upon the
Christian intelligence of an enlightened
American people.
In conclusion, he dwelt uponi the de-
mand for a more general religious OBJ
servance of the Sabbath, and a more
effective effort on the part of every
voter to see that the ~sacredness of the
day was preserved against the en-
croachments OF the Christian and
lawless element in our community.
The moral Issue In this political
campaign is strongly dominant, and is
most vital one, and no citizen should
forget the duty he owes his God. his
and his family" said Mr.. Peach.

POLITICS NOT UPLIFTING
DECLARE MINISTER.
Lack of Righteous Standard, Says Pas
tor Harmon, in Conduct of
Public Affairs.

The Rev. Harold c. Harmon, pastor of
the West Presbyterian Church, last even
ing touched upon the topic of Political
Righteousness" He declared that the
political conditions and civic environment
did not harmonic with the demands of
a moral righteousness, and that the mu-
uncipal trend of political civlcs were not
uplifting and did not elevate the moral
tone Of the community.
political righteousness should be in har-
mony with a Christian influence" he said,
that would lend a distinct moralIzing and
religious touch to the conduct Of the at
fairs Of state. Thu lack Of a righteous
condition in political affairs has created a
lowering of the civic standard, along both
moral and religious lines. and created a
potent disregard for those distinctly Ameri-
can Christian characteristic which have
made this nation great"
