FIFTY YEARS OF FREEDOM.
The Anthony Burns incident Recalls
Many Thrilling Stories.

The Anthony Burns incident Recalls
Many Thrilling Stories.
Sept. 22. 1912, was the dftieth an
niversary Of the signing Of Llncoln's
proclamation Of freedom to the slave.
The event recalls one Of a thousand or
more incidents of the dark days when
bloodhounds. slave drivers, the slave
pen and the auction block were the
fashion.
Anthony Burns, who was bought out
Of slavery by the abolitionists Of Bos-
ton and presented to himself, took the
gift with many expressions of graft
tude and straightway went to Oberlln.
O., to educate himself for the ministry.
Upon his arrival at Oberlin he. child
like. wrote back to Union to his old
pastor for q letter of dismission from
the church he 30 wickedly ran away
from when he ran away from slavery.
The pastor. Rev. John Clark. made
the following answer:
"The Church Of Christ at Union,
Fauquier- county. Va.
whereas, Anthony Burns, men,
ber Of the church. has made applica-
tion to US by letter to our pastor for
letter Of dismIssion In fellowship. in
order that he may unite with another
church Of the same faith and order;
and l..
"Wbereas. II has been satisfactorily
established before us that the said
Anthony Burns absconded from the
service Of his owner and refused to
return voluntarily. thereby disobeying
both the laws of God and man, al
though he subsequently obtained bis
freedom by purchase. yet we have now
to consider him only as a fugitive
from labor (as he was before his ar
rest and restoration to his owner
and have therefore
Resolved unanimously that he be
excommunicated from the communion
and fellowship of the church OF Jesus
Christ. Done by order Of the church
In regular church meeting this goth Of
October. 1855.

It's new modern dormitory build

whose efficient leadership as
! president has been wonderfully
blessed with large results. The
principal address at the dedica-
tory ceremonies was delivered
by the Rev. DIR. A. Clayton Pow
ell, the well known lecturer and
successful pastor Of the Abys-
sinian Baptist church In New
York.
The subject of DIR. Powelrs ad-
dress was "The Molding Infiu-
en"e Of Woman" He said In
part:
Woman Is the material mas
terpiece Of Gods creative genius,
the mother of our nations and
!, the queen of our homes. Under
her benignant Christian in6u-
ence the dove Of domestic peace
hutters In the sunshine Of love,
and the marriage altar becomes
as sacred as the oracles of God.
No race can rise higher than Its
homes, and no home can rise
!, higher than Its mother. BY the
very virtue of the situation wo-
man Is the home maker. The
husband Is away all day at work
and all night at the lodge or
club. The home is therefore
left under the moldlng influence
of the mother. .#@,.
"Most people have mistaken
Idea OF what constitutes a home.
When we see a fne house
handsomely furnished, surround.
ed by an artistically shaped
lawn. we say. What beautiful

can afford them. but you can
: have q home without any Of
them. a Christian mother, an
open Bible, a family altar where
the children kneel once a day
! while mother carries them to
God on wings of praying love-
this Is a home, whether 1t be a
hut In darkest Africa or q
brownstone front In Americas
best civilization.
This kind Of a home is rap
Idly disappearing from our coun-
try in general and from the
large cities in particular. and we
are losing power with God on
this account. The crying need
of America IL not more schools,
or more money. or more churches,
or more eloquent preachers. but
more mothers who will give God
q place In the home"

ic was reassuring to the watchers at
the hospital, and an hour after the
X-ray had been taken the physicians
said that the colonel IVES rallying from
the fatigue and excitX ent which Il
was feared might have proved drain

That the surgeons thought long

shown when Colonel Roosevelt's secre.

A statement from the physicians con

friday Harbor Il, Roche narbor 2

Gerard's Tigers played at Roche
Harbor Sunday afternoon with the
team there. AS the score to 2
indicates, the Tigers were too strong
for the north end boys, there being
no time when there was danger of a
turning of the tables. But for all
their being defeated Manager Gerard
says the Roche Harbor nine treated
them royalty while there, and made
them feel as though they would be
welcome to come again. Quite a
number took advantage of the boat
excursion, while several went by
team.
A game on the home grounds is
advertised for next Sunday with the
Fort Casey team. The Tigers have
no license to beat the soldiers as they
have the advantage Of daily practice,
while the boys here only get together
on Sunday. The game will at least
be an interesting one.
The game scheduled for fast Sun
day afternoon on the home grounds
between the Bellingham Normals and
the White Sox failed to materialize,
because of the non-appearance of the
former, for reasons best known tc
them.
The greatest game so far record.
ed this season was that played al
Anacortes last week between the
married men and single men of the
Elks lodge. The score was 81 to q
in favor of the married men, due K
the fact that the single men SO they
state had too great consideration
for the feelings Of the wives Of then
opponents to beat them.

HOMEGROWN Strawberries

That portions Of San Juan island
could compete with the strawberry
growers OF Vashon island in getting
early berries to market is the belief
Of some here. The Vashon berries
are always the first Of the home
crowns on the Seattle market be-
cause Of the lay Of the land and pc
culiar climatic conditions. Last
week the writer had the privilege OF
eating as fine berries as grow any
where, picked from patch on the
F. c. Vining place, advertised for
sale in another portion of this issue.
With a larger patch and closer at
tention Mr.. Vining could have been
marketing berries ere this. His
ground has the right slope for get
ting protection from the colder winds
and for getting benefits from the
sunshine.
