ELOQUENT SERMON 49,.
BY DR.. PICKARD
BY ALEX w. BEALER.

BALTIMORE. Md, May 11.-Dr. w. L.
Pickard, pastor of the First Baptist
church at Savannah scored a brilliant
In preaching the convention sermon. A
splendid opportunity was presented to
him and he took advantage of ii. When
he rose to speak a magnificent congrega-
ton Of 1900 people and more was be-
fore him. His text was taken from the
18th chapter of Matthews and second
verse: And was TRANSPORTED before
them" He announced his subject to be
The TRANSPORTED and Thanksgiving
Christ" It was a sermon couched In
chaste language and delivered In a very
impressive manner. In bursts of passion
he swept his hearers before him as he
preached the simple gospel of salvation
through faith in the blood of the lamb
for sinners slain. There was no word Of
apology from first to last and many
hearty amens were shouted. forth by the
brethren. 1t was one of the most power
full sermons ever preached before to con-
vention. At its conclusion the brethren
as one great voice, sung "All Hail the
Power of Jesus Name. -.
Preceding the sermons the report of the
committee on the laymen's movement
was read by j.: T. Henderson, secretary
of the movement among the Baptists.
The chief problem was to reach and de-
velop the 10000 churches in the south
who give nothing and to induce the givers
to be more liberal and more systematic.
Mission study classes and mission mass
meetings were recommended. The pas
tors were urged to. preach the duty Of
tithing as the least a Christian should
give, Ito. urge their. members to give as
much for missions as they give for the
support of the local church, to urge
weekly contributions and to have every
member seen and asked for contribu-
ton.

handkerchief. Instead of entering the
room he lodged down a hallway and
climbing down a fire escape to the first
floor. where il ended. jumped TO the
sidewalk. Hailing a passing taxicab, the

HEROES HONORED
BY DEDICATION OF SHAFTS
(By Associated Press.)

- WASHINGTON, May 1.-TWO monu-
ments to the memory and deeds Of Pu-
lCski and Kosciusko. the Polish he
rces, both of whom fought and one Of
whom died that liberty in America might
live, were dedicated here today. The time
of the DELEGATIONS was so arranged that
President Taft could attend each.
The monument to Pulaski was erected
by an act of congress. but the statue
to Kosciusko is a gift to the nation
from the Polish National alliance and
other organizations of Poles who have
made their homes in the, free republic
for which their distinguished country
men fought. There was a double signifi-
canoe to the unwilling of the monument
to Kosciusko, for it marked the open
ing here tomorrow of the first Polish ma
.ticnal congress to attend which thousands
of Poles from all over the United States
have come.
DISCUSS NATION.
The purpose of the congress Is to dis
cuss in all it's phases the condition OF
the Polish nation, to acquire familiarity
with the needs of the Polish national
life and find ways and means of fulfill
ing them.
The ceremonies which preceded the
dedication of the statues were long plan
ned and very elaborate. military pa
rade in which all the regular troops sta
toned at Fort Myer as we'll as the ma
tional guard of the District Of Columbia
marched was one of the features.
Brig. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, U. S. A., was
in command.
In the heart of the buster section of the
CITY the monument TO Pulaski stands IA
feet from the sidewalk in triangular
green. In the saddle of a charger is noun
ted the figure of the hero in the Polish
Hussar uniform in which he won COM
mand of a brigade of Washington's cav
airy for his gallant conduct at the Bran
DIVINE.
ALWAYS WORE UNIFORM.
Pulaski always wore the uniform Of his
beloved fatherland, and 1t clothed his
breast through three years Of valiant
fighting on American soil until he fell
at the siege of Savannah in 177e, and died
on the United States brig of war Wasp
In the harbor. two days after.
The sculptor, Chedzinski. gathered ma
terial for his work in Paris. Berlin and
parts of Poland. and secured from the
descendants of Pulaski a lifesize paint
ing of the hero mounted on horse done
by Pulaski's sister.
In Lafayette park, a beautiful shaded
square across Pennsylvania avenue from
the White House, the monument to
Kosciusko. with the exception of one.
completes the set of five planned there.
The others are to General Lafayette and
Count Rochambeau, who commanded the
French allies at Yorktown. On the re-
naming corner will be erected the statue
of Baron Won Steuben. An immense stat
ue of Gen. Andrew Jackson Is In the
center of the park.

Senator Depew Praises
King Edward. His Friend

ATLANTIC CITY, y. J., May SEN
ator Chauncey NJ. Depew, who knew
King Edward VII well when the late
king was prince of Wales, has given out
at hotel here an interview of eulogy
he says:
king Edward would have made a
great American had his lot been cast
with this country instead of being born
to the English throne. More than a
king, a great factor for peace and good
Will among nations has passed away. l
would compare his death with the tragic
death of Mckinley.
ITO my mind King Edward was even
a greater statesman than Gladstone. l
believe King Edward VII was more OF
a factor than The Hague tribunal or
other peace movements in maintaining
the peace of the world in the last few
years BY dissipating jealousies and
hereditary enmity and bringing about
cordial relations with France. I believe
he has been a practical savior of that re-
