Week of Prayer Will Be Observed BY
the Local Y. NJ C. A.

We wish again to call attention to
the fact that this week is to be given
to prayer by the Young Mems Chris
tan Associations throughout the
world, as mentioned in an article
published last Saturday, and that
prayer services are to be held each
evening this week at 1880 by the
local association, to be led by the
young men of Palestine. The topic
for this evening is: Cd THE work of
the International Committee on the
Foreign Field" (2) 1.-The Young
Men of Africa Leaders: c. Pear
son; R. Richardson and L. Withers.
Let us remember the Dark Cont
nent" and the efforts of the Interna-
tional Committee to place buildings
and men there to evangelize and
christianize our dark skinned broth
er" and follow in the wake of civil
lization as it so rapidly advances. A
recent letter from Chas. E. Hurlburk,
head of the African Inland Mission,
says:
"Ex-President Roosevelt, seeing
that there was such a tremendous
need for conserving moral influences
at Nairobi, warmly commended the
work and backed up his words with
generous subscription-the first to-
wards a building-that the associa-
ton might start out fully equipped
to meet the great need in this city,
700 miles from the coast. Nairobi
will eventually be the center of
great colony, including British East
Africa, Uganda and the Upper Nile
provinces. Young men, government
and business employees, have come
here fresh from English and colonial
homes, and then found no place to
stay and no relief from the fearful
tide of sin that sweeps over the city.
Nairobi is in position to shape the life
of a great state for righteousness or
allow it to continue to grow in dark
ness and immortality. Following Mr..
Roosevelt's gift, the matter was laid
before Mr.. Macmillan, an enterpris-
ing American who has erected an
electric light plant, an ice machine,
and introduced automobiles and mo-
tor wagons among the previous
haunts of lions and rhinos He was
quick to see what an association
would do for the community and adj
ded $4,000 to the presidents gift for
an association building"
Let US say and pray, "On with this
great work" Reporter.

THE LAw-BREAKBRs' ATTITUDE.

There need be no confusion in the minds of
voters about the attitude of the illegal liquor
interest toward the candidates for County
Commissioner, or to be more exact, toward
Messrs. Weis and Mann, the respective Repub-
lican and Democratic candidates from the
Twelfth district. 1t is an undoubted fact that
this vote is divided-a part 1T supporting Mr..
Weis, and what is believed to be larger part
supporting Mr.. Mann.
Goaded into activity by repeated exposures
and by the attitude of the moral element of
the county, the present Board of County Com
missioners about year ago began repressive
measures with the Sunday saloons and resorts
about the Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth
and Fifteenth districts and considerable good
was accomplished, but, unfortunately, the
repression was not uniform, some law breakers
being treated with all the severity they de-
served, while others just as bad or worse were
not molested or, if raided, escaped punish
ment in court. Many of those who suffered
are now said to be seeking revenge against the
present administration by supporting Mr..
Weis, while those who were favored are, as in
former times, supporting the ring ticket We
do not pretend to say that Mr.. Mann direc-
ted that some law-breakers should be raid
ed while others should be let alone, nor do
we pretend to say that, if elected, he will do
anything of the sort. And it is manifestly
unfair to say that if Mr.. Weis should be elected
he would be the champion of the illegal liquor
business, merely because some who have felt
the whip of the ring are supporting him from
motives of vengeance.
In fact, it is now said that the saloon and re-
sort proprietors who were formerly talking for
Weis have received satisfactory promises from
the ring and. are focking back to their first
love-the ring standard.
ArrHE regular weekly meeting of the Preach
ers Association of the Methodist Episcopal
Church of Baltimore, held on Monday, the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted: while we
do not presume to dictate to our voting con-
stituency concerning questions purely politi-
cal, nevertheless, upon grave moral issues, we
feel it our duty to express our convictions. In
our judgment the proposed amendment to be
submitted to the voters of Maryland in No
vember is largely a moral question, and it is
not only un-American and un-Democratic
but it is also unwise and unjust. Therefore
we, as citizens and members of the Baltimore
Preachers Meeting of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, hereby express our most earnest op-
position to the proposed measure, and hope
that it will be overwhelmingly rejected by the
people," Sixty-five ministers were present at
the meeting and it is said every one of them
voted for the resolution.
