ON SALoo
PROF. c. W. DYER STARED THEM
 NOT IN ADDRESS.

 Tribute to Late E. VI. C@rmnek.

The lecture of Professor c. W. Dyer of Vanderbilt University. Sunday after noon in the orphenm Theatre. on Fchristian cItizenship." was well re- ceived by an audience that filled the hall to the doors. The lecture dealt the saloon on voters. especially young men who are strangers In ".wet" towns. and who are attracted to the saloona because of the lights, com fort and companionship of the places, and who, after frequentipg them . while become habitues.
 He said the saloon men yielded much local power in influencing elections and wielded 1t against good. clean gov ernment for their own interests, and that their idea of a statesman was man who would assist them in being able, to break the law, and that they, because of the lucrativeneas of the business, used large sums in infiuenc- ing voters in order to swing an elec- ton the way they desired. Invariably against good government.
 Professor Dyer paid a slowing trib- ute to the late Senator Carmack of Tennessee. and spoke of the Senator's great fight for prohibition. when many Inducements were offered him, of a fsnaunaeatiye kina. to use hAe. energiea in4 othNr fields % -A e& tss&

We staked all we had on the capacity and fidelity of the average man, and committed all political power to his exclusive keep ing" -+=--
 The speaker dwelt on this theme and pointed out the evil to the whole com monwealth of allowing thing to ex7 list that corrupted the political scheme, The saloon, he said. was a menace to the government and State- wide pro- hibition was the only thing that would prevent Its influence, in his opinion.
 At the conclusion of his address, he was given a rising vote of thanks and appreciation for his lecture.

LARGE SUNDAY SCHOOL GLASS.
Busy Peoples Bible Class of CouI
 street Church Proxressiye,

Busy Peoples Bible Class of Court
 street Church Progressive.
 The largest Sunday Schsoi class in the city, and one of the most influential ones in the south, Is the Busy Peoples class of the Court Street Methodist Sunday School. At present this class numbers 1s5 members and is increasing every Sunday. The wonderful success of the class Is largely due to the faith teacher. Major B.. M. Washburn.
 Mir. Wsshburn took charge of the Bible class of the Methodist Sunday School when Judge Thorington became Superintendent of the school, and du- ring the sixteen years which have elapsed since that time he has been most energetic in his efforts to increase the class in size and power. During these sixteen years, unless unavoidably kept away he has always been present to welcome both scholars and visitors with a pleasant smile and hearty hand shake.
 Unlike most Bible classes. the Busy Peoples class does not restrict its mem bership to either men or women but contains a large number of both the teacher finding that with both sexes in his class the work has been much more satisfactory.
 Another very enjoyable feature and one which serves t. promote good fei. lowship among the nsmbefs of the class, is the practice of having frequent social evenings. These evenings occur about once month and are always at. tended by large per cent of the mem. bership.
 With the opening of the New Year the members are entering upon theIr work with greater enthusiasm, and the prospects that great things during the year of 1909 will be accomplished are bright.

HIS LAW IS
 FOR ALL MEN Theme of Rev. H. I. Johnson's Sermon. Me DEXTER CONGREGATION Initial Appearance of Minister in
 New Pulpit. Receivsa Cordial welcome From Large aaemser.hip of Dexter Avenue
 Methesist Chureh-Tve a.. Sermons DeIivered. EA
 

Taking his text from Psalms xix, T "Ths law of the Lord Is perfect, con- verting the soul" Rev. H. T. Johnson the pastor of the Dexter Avenue Meth odist Church appointed al the recent conference at Greensboro to succeed Rev. W. N. Cox, preached a magnifl- cent sermon yesterday to a congrega- tion whose numbers taxed the seating capacity of the large auditorium. The sermon of yesterday morning was the first which Mir. Johnson has preached from the pulpit of his new charge, as sickness prevented his filling the pull pit on the Sunday preceding.
 The new pastor of the church is . striking figure in the pulpit, and his clear. resonant voice easily reached his hearers in the rear pews of the audi torihm. Throughout the whole Of the sermon and services the most careful attention was paid MT. Johnson's ut- terances, and the many visitors presi ent congratulated the members of the Dexter Avenue congregation on the man assigned for the coming year to be the leader of the growing church
 The theme of the sermon yesterday morning was God and His power and goodness revealed in the two volumes of nature and the written word.
 D u CnuCA tAC 6ANiSAOH VI FOi0hS OA HA- ture Mir. Johnson stated that the per , fection of God was excelently exem- plifed in the laws of nature, the heav- enly bodies being used as the illus tration. Tn their number and extent in the vast space quite incapable of be- ing grasped by the human mind, His power was shown. In the very earth itself His perfection was shown in that every twenty -four hours the enormous &saI.A f. k.aMn kn Rns, ..~l, and light; that every 365 days the earth passed around the sun in its orbit, and In neither the turning to the sun or the path around the sun was the earth ever a second behind the time that had been observed by astronomers for ages.
 In the written word His perfection was again strongly shown. All the laws of man are subject to revision or repeal, they are different for localities and for different people in the same locality. some apply to the rich and others only to the poor: in their admin iStraticn they were most flexible; ex- tenuating circumstances caused punish ment to betpassed in many instances. In the legislative branch of man'a law there was class Legislation.
 The contrast was strikingly drawn with Gods laws. The preacher stated cry locality. that they were never sub tect to repeal or .Fevisi0n,- that there waA no class distinction. the law ap- plying to rich and poor alike, that ex- tenuating circumstances did not hinder the operation of the punishment to commands of "Tbou shalt not"
 For the services at the church yes- tsrday morning special musical pro- gram had been prepared, which was rendered exceilently. Last night Mir. Johnson psached another strong ser- unon to c large congregation.
