A VISITING PREACHER.
Tells Of Life Beyond the Grave Large
and Attentive Audience Present.
Sricpture Quoted.

Under the auspices of the |. b. S.
A., of which there is quite a follow
ing and large membership in Annap.
oils, the citizens were invited to a
free lecture at the City Assembly
Rooms yesterday afternoon at
o'clock
Long before that hour people from
all parts of the county adjacent to
Annapolis, as well as Annapolitans,
were seen vending their way to the
city hall on Duke of Gloucester
street. and when the meeting was
called, large audience was present,
in which were numbered nearly every
religious sect and creed in town and
county. The speaker, Mr.. Owen l..
Sullivan, of Nashville, Tenn, was
introduced by member of the local
|. B. S. A., and he was given wrapt
attention throughout his address.
The program was interspersed
with congregational singing, and in
strumental music. The congre cation
sang 81 Love to Tell the Story" and
other old-time hymns. Mr.. Henry
Schreyer was violinist, and he was
accompanied on the organ by his son,
Mr.. Harry Schreyer. The speaker,
rather an old man, could not be heard
with distinctness at all parts of the
large Assembly Rooms, and many
present heard him with difficulty, as
his enunciation was not clear to
those at some distance from the
speaker.
Mr.. Sullivan said he had been a
Presbyterian clergyman, but when he
could not accept that church's doc
trine of hell-a lake Of fire and
birthstone for the damned, the Presby-
terry, high court of the church per
mitted him to resign, and he did. He
quoted Scripture frequently and
fuently all through his lecture, and
defined 'hades" and "sheol" as the
grave and hell" He said God is
too merciful by far to punish
his children in any such barbarous
manner as committing them to an
eternal punishment of fire and brim-
stone. He said we, who are Gods
creatures, would not treat our fellow
beings thus, ano why should God, the
(ASoeoA OA NSs NC ~ tTuel ana l00Q-
man.
At the outstart Mr.. Sullivan dis
sected the religious belief of every
sect and creed in the world, so far as
their belief in an eternal punishment
and life hereafter is concerned. he
spared none. Every church was
Shown up in an unfavorable light.
and especially one which has a large
fonowing. This did not create a IA
vorable impression at the beginning
and Mr.. Sullivan threw a ''damper"
over his congreea eation, rather than
gained followers by his caustic criti-
cism of the other religious beliefs.
The followers Of the International
Bible Society believe cit was brought
out in the lecture) that deash Is q
rest until the resurrection. when
Christ will come to Judge accord
ing to the deeds done in the BODY ,,
and those who are prepared will en-
ter the new life-the life beyond tha
grave. That there is no hell M
and the word 'sbades,,
means the grave was the KEYNOTE of |
the speakers theme. Many passages
Of Scripture were quoted to sustsin
this new doctrine and belief.

A Conscientious Jury.

On one occasion a native in Kali,
Hawaii. cheated neighbor out Of a
small sum OF money. The community
was indignant and determined that the
guilty party should be punished The
day Of the trial came; the testimony
was conclusive; the judge closed his
charge. reminding the jury that sft
takes nine to convict" for a three
fourths majority was required instead
Of unanimous jury. It was thought
that the twelve might decide in the
box, but the Hawaiian likes form, and
they grayely withdrew to the jury
room. They were gone an unconscion-
able time at length the judge, impa-
dent, sent to find out what in the
world was the matter and discovered
this predicament: All twelve were for
conviction, and no three could be in
duced to vote for the defendant.

The tribute Of the Powhatans.


What is perhaps the most interesting
ceremony to be witnessed In the Unit
ed States takes place at the state capt.
toll at Richmond OH Feb. 16 of each
year. 1t consists OF the delivery of the
annual tribute of the Pamunkey river
Indians, representing surviving tribe
of the Powhatan nation, to the gov
ernor of Virginia. The manner Of the
presentation of the tribute is simple.
The chief and the head men of the
tribe upon the appointed day appear at
the capitol bearing baskets of ducks
md fish and lay the baskets at the feet
Of the governor. The few and siml lie
words which are spoken are traditional
and do not vary. Originally the trib-
ute consisted of venison, ducks and
fish, each of the finest and represent
ing the dominion of the state Of Vir-
ginia over the animals Of the forest,
the birds of the air and the fish Of the
waters, but the state law establishing
a closed season for deer now prevents
the Indians from including venison In
the tribute.-Harpers.

There is a big hearted man editing a
paper in Iowa who ever tries to say
something eulogistic about every citi-
zen of-his town both during the sub
ject's life and at his death. On one
occasion he was much perplexed to
know what to say in the case Of q
man. resident of the town for many
years and an excellent citizen. For the
life Of him the editor could think OF
nothing that his friend had done to
entitle him to distinction. The fol
lowing was the one fact that the writer
could produce from the recesses Of his
memory as a climax for the eulogy
that appeared in the paper:
