YESPER SERVICE HELD
Rev. DR.. Thirkield breaches at
Howard University.
Vested Choir of Forty Voices Rem.
der Special Anthems-ChapeI
Is Well Filled.

Rev. Or. Wilbur p. Thirkield, presi-
dent OF Howard University, conducted
the first vesper service OF the scholastic
year in Rankin Memorial Chapel at
the university. at 1880 yesterday after
noon. The large vested choir of forty
voices. under the direction of Miss Lulu
We're Childers, rendered special anthems.
The chapel WIS filled with professors.
visitors, and students.
President Thirkield took his text from
I Cor. kills. Now abldeth faith. hope.
love; these three, but the greatest OF
these is love"
He said IN part: "Dr. Jewett, the
famous master OF Ballot College, Ok
ford. in his first sermon. spoke OF the
college as a place OF education, a place
of association. and a place Of religion.
That is, it involves a mans relation
TO himself, 70 his fellow-men, and to
God, the last is most fundamental. as
man is a religious being. President
Eliot has well said that you cannot have
education without morality and you can
not have morality without religion.
above all, formal faith is the at
mosphere of the college which should
be religious Now. faith lies at the
basis of all true religion. In faith we are
at the root OF life, a life that can only
unfold in an atmosphere of faith, a life
that only eternity can measure or full
fl. Faith is not belief in creed or
obedience TO church FORMS or any set of
tire bearing OF the soul toward God.
Faith is not an instrument. but rather
an attitude OF the soul Only as a man
believes can he know the meaning of
faith.
1T IS the grasp OF divine. spiritual
reality, the souls grasp of God, and the
surrender of the life to their realities
This involves a new attitude of the soul
to God. as revealed in nature; and again
as revealed in sonship through Jesus
Christ. In faith, sonship realizes itself
When the soul. with unmeasured
capacity. enters into sonship. no limit is
fixed to its growth into the knowledge
and love OF God. Tt doth not yet appear
what we shall be Now. young men
and women. I beseech you live as you
were sons of God. Hold the body sacred
as the temple OF IL holy spirit; cruelty
lust. be clean in conversation, and grow
in reverence.
Let this campus here be too sacred
for the feet of any brutal, low-lived,
unclean man. Create here an atmosphere
pure and lofty that in the unity and
power of the faith. each may grow up
into a full grown man. unto the measure
OF the stature OF holiness and truth in
Christ, Jesus. In hope and love we find
the Anal expression OF life begun in
faith"

Col. John s. Mosby. the famous cavalry
leader OF the Confederacy. has presented
to the United States National Museum
the pair OF crutches which he used when
wounded during the civil war They
were made by slave belonging to his
father.
These crutches were twice in the head
quarters OF Gen. Robert E. Lee, and on
each occasion under the arms OF Mosby
| When Col Mosby alighted from an am
bulance and hobbled toward headquarters
on crutches. Gen. Lee came out in COM
pany with Gen. Longstreet. and intro
duced Longstreet 10 Mosby. Then, eye
ing the crutches. Gen. Lee said: "TAe
only fault have 10 find with your con-
duct. Col. Mesby is that you are always
getting wounded"
The crutches are plainly made. consist
ing Of unyarnshed sticks OF wood. fitted
into arm-bars at the top. and one or
them is covered with calico 1tted over
padding. The padding is worn off the
other crutch.
On one crutch is a metal plate bearing
the words:
John S. Mosby 1S63-lS64"
Wrapped around the crutches, which
are tied together. is a sheet OF paper on
which. in the handwriting Of Col. Mosby,
IS the following statement
Made by Fnther's Slave.
These crutches were made for me dur
ing the war by slave named Isaac. who
belonged TO my father. They were first
used in August, 1863, when I went home
wounded. My mother kept them FOR me.
and I again used them in September.
1854, and December. 1864.
Jno. S. Mosby."
He has his mother TO thank for saving
these crutches. and she had valued them
highly. Col Mosby said
II have often told my mother that
she was never 50 happy as she was
during the war when she was reading the
newspaper accounts OF my adventures
The thought never seemed to enter her
head that I was in danger Of being
killed. I have told her often that If
she had commanded the army OF North-
ern Virginia. the South would have won
its independence OF II would be lighting

Notes.

An agreement has been-prac-
tically made that all bills shall be
printed.
At Representative W. H. McCaskill's
invitation. the house and senate met
Tuesday afternoon at 4 O'Clock in the
house chamber and devoured several
crates Of cantaloupes presented by the
farmers Of the-Arkansas- valley.
The suggestion has been made that
II the initiative and referendum is
passed, 1t should be with the proyiso
that at least so per cent of the voters
taking part in the election in question
must vote on the proposed law, other
wise the vote is void.
Representative Helbis was asked
directly by the chairman II his bill was
Intended to vitiate the local option law.

use their own discretion In the matter

The Pilgrim Monument.

the completion of the magnificent
shaft, and with the niche in history
the Pilgrim fathers carved for 1t when
they landed here three centuries ago.
The Pilgrim monument is, next to
the Washington monument, the loftiest
structure of solid construction in the
United States, towering BAT feet above
the sea level. Three years ago its
cornerstone was laid by a president,
Theodore Roosevelt, and it was dedi-
Gated by another president. William
II. Taft
The tablet, inserted In sunken
panel over the south door of the
monument, is Of bronze, 1t Is intended
to replace the one which was above
the portal Of the old town hall, de-
stroyed by fire in 1877, and which
bore this inscription:
I'm commemoration of the arrival
of the Mayfower in Cap Cod harbor
and Of the first landing Of the Pill
grims in America at this place, No
vember IL. 1920, this tablet is pre-
sented by the Cap Cod association,
November s, 1853"
For many years Cape Cod folk had
hoped that Provincetown's claim to be
the first landing place of the pilgrims
might be made manifest by the erec-
ton Of monument attesting to the
fact, but no successful organized
movement was launched prior to the
incorporation of the Cape Cod Mem
orial association in 1892. During
the first ten years of the corporation
the movement dragged, the fund for
the purpose reaching only $2,5OO but
in 1902 the Massachusetts legislature
agreed to give $4,000 for the pur-
pose, provided the association should
have raised a similar sum within
three years. Finally a donation OF
10000 was made by the national
government.
The monument cost in round num-
bers 100000. The design is by Will
lard T. Sears and resembles the
Siennas Qtalyl town hall tower, built
in 1909. The monument is of rough
faced granite quarried at Deer Isle.

that that Is the one in which conpen-

decided on was in regard to petitions

lot by one and the same petition. The

Stamp Out Alcoholism in ServIs.

The rising tide of popular senti.
ment In favor OF temperance appears
to be spreading eastward over Eu-
rope with marked results, and now
even the little kingdom OF Servia is
affected. The Medical Society OF Ser
via. In common with those OF sur
rounding countries, has been con.
fronted by the ever Increasing evils
OF alcoholic drinking among all
classes OF the people and the men,
bers have entered upon an active
campaign to stamp out the blight.
The question of the use of alcohol
in medical practise came up for much
discussion at the general Injecting Of
the society and It was unanimously
decided to address a petition to the
OF the interior asking for a
permanent commission to study the
question OF alcoholism and the best
means to employ In wiping out the
evil in Servia.
