At the morning service at the Uni
tartan church Sunday, the Rev. William
Thurston Brown preached an eloquent
sermon on "The Moral Significance of
John Brown" In part, the speaker
said:
Almost fifty years ago an event oc-
any other in the history of this nation
the fundamental truth with which men
and women have TO deal On the 18th OF
October, 1853. John Brown and his little
band OF twenty-one men took possession
OF Harper's Ferry in Virginia; liberated
a number of. slaves, took forty persons
prisoners. and established themselves In
the United States arsenal located at that
place.
All this had been done without taking
a single life. Two or three days later
they were overpowered by the superior
forces OF the United States, nearly all
yvors taken prisoners. A jury was
hastily summoned, John Brown was put
on trial for high treason against the
state, was found guilty and executed by
hanging. Let IT be admitted that the
men who we're most eminent I'm our ma
tional life at that time declared he was
justly hanged But let 1t also be remem-
bered that every one of these men would
have passed exactly the same judgment

died for the sake of cause. No con-
temporary historian thought Jesus worthy
of even a line. II was almost exactly
