Justice Brewer at a meeting of the Bar
Association at Hot Springs, Va, where
he delivered masterful analysis on
the question of individual RESPONSE

vice were in the same line that is rec

The spirit OF love tenderness and
solicitude for the welfare of the Ma

ing increase of Juvenile crime. The
Sunday schools of the country have
worked steadily for the improvement
of this class. and not only the local
Sunday schools, but the International
Sunday School association is deeply
interested in what should be done to
cope with this evil.
They have always had more or less
difficulty to secure attendance of the
youth of the country to the Sunday
schools, but they are not in the least
discouraged and have taken hold Of
the matter with renewed energy.
The opposition to the introduction
of the bible in the graded schools has
no doubt hindered the work. but the
probabilities are that the foreign ele-
ment is so strong in this country that
there will be no way Of Introducing re-
llgious training in the schools.
One of the most important adjunctS
in the work which the association has
undertaken is the Young Mems and
Young Women's Christian associations,
which are doing a great work. and yet
they are not able to accomplish the
half that should be done.

1t is we'll that the Supreme Court

Professor Francis G. Peabody. Of
Harvard University, says that the most
significant and characteristic discovery
Of the present day is that of the So
cial consCience-the recognition in u
degree unprecedented in history, of So
Cial responsibility; the demand with
an unprecedented appropriateness for
social justice; the substitution, on an
unprecedented scale. of social morali-
ty for the creed of individualism.
He asserts that never in human his
tory were so many people wise and
unwise, rich and poor, learned and is
nOrant, concerning themselves with
amelioration, dedicating themselves to
philanthropy, organizing for industrial
change or applying the motives of re-
lieion to the problems OF modern life. -

ever done so much in the line Of phi
lanthropy and humanity, or been SO

The professor is right in urging that
this spirit shall be properly guided so
that the various organizations and in
dividuals shall properly lead in the ap-
plication of their labors and liberal

WHITE PROPHET FOR NEGROES
HOLY ROLLERS CHOOSE A NEW
BISHOP.
Nephew Of Dead Founder Is One Of
Three Who Will Lead

PHILADELPHIA, September 1S.-As one
Of the three leaders and prophets of the
Church of God and Saints OF Christ TO
take the place of William S. Crowdy. the
founder of the sect of negro 'footwash-
ers," white man, Bishop ]. NJ.
Groves, was chosen yesterday.
The new prophet" who comes from
Emporia, Kan, is said to be of pure white
blood, and the ''footwashers" are more
than usually proud of him.
Exalted along with him to the supreme
positions In the church were William w.
Plumber and Joseph W. Crowdy, q
nephew Of the dead founder, both negroes.
Yesterdays proceedings OF the church
convention were held behind closed doors
and much mystery was thrown over them
by the delegates. There was not an cleo
ton in the accepted sense Of the word.
but the three prophets were accorded the
position by general assent.
Crowdy, founder of the faith. had been
somewhat vague as to who should sue
coed him, and there were rivals for the
post So 1t was up to the annual con-
vention to interpret the intentions of the
dead leader. After much consultation.
three men were selected because 1t was
felt that one could not satisfactorily fill
the place, and each Of the candidates had
SO much to recommend him that none was
turned down.
