BOYD GAINS HIS
LIBERTY TODAY
Waived His Preliminary Hearing and
is Bound Over to the Grand
Jury, and Friend Goes
His Bond.

Archie Boyd, colored, bounced out
of the city jail today a happy negro.
When he was arraigned before Judge
Mcnamara, he waived his preliminary
hearing and was bound over to await
the action of the grand jury. His
bond was fixed at $3.50, and while
that is probably more money than Ar
chic ever thought was in the world,
friend came to his rescue and he
was released from custody and will
have his liberty at least until the
grand jury gets through with him.
Archie bounced into Jail almost
two weeks ago. when white fellow
named Blodgett, claimed that Archie
had bounced the butt of rifle off his
head Blodgett further claimed that
after he took to his heels to escape
the wrathy Archie, the latter took a
parting shot at him, with blood in his
eye and upon murder bent Archie
was arrested on an information charg
ing assault with intent to kill. Boyd
and Blodgett We're drivers of delivery
wagons for rival concerns and had a
business argument which terminated
in Arches incarceration.

LARGE CROWD
HEARD MCCONNELL !
"why Does Sin Bring Deathr' Was
the Subject Of the Sermon Last
Night, and He Spoke
Eioquently.
DEATH IS SINS WAGES
Baptist Minister Says Our Fellowship
With Those We Love is the Ono
Thing That Makes Life
Worth Living.

DR.. Mcconnell addressed large
crowd at the Baptist church last night
on the subject why does sin bring
Death?" taking for his text For the
wages OF sin is death; put the git
of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord"
In speaking of death and life, Dr
Mcconnell said in part:

breathe and digest our food, we cor
respond with the physical environ
ment that enables US to live, but When
we cannot transmute the food stuHs
into blood and tissue, when We cannot
take the oxygen that revives our
blood, then death comes. Life is the
performance Of function. AS long as
any living thing can perform its rune
lions. it can live. Anything may De
said to be dead when it can no longer
do what it could do in life. !"
DR.. Mcconnell further declared
that the consequence of sin Is death,
because, he said, sin destroys our
conception of right, as distinguished
from that which Is wrong. And Dr.
Mcconnell further declared that the
more you sin, the less conscience 70"
have and consequently, there IS no
pain to the conscience of the sinner
"The one thing that makes life peau-
tifu] for you and me-" he said, is our
fellowship with those we love. The
finest thing in all the world IS tne
power to love- What is 1t that changes
the hearts and conduct of human be-
ings and makes them able to do Things
to their loved ones which formerly
thev would not have thought OF do

| it is only sinners who show the
change. No wonder the Psalmist said
aFools make a mock at sin.
In conclusion, Dr.. Mcconnell saic:
aThe gift of God is eternal lire.
Who would not preach such a gospel
as that, sending people out to live the
gift of God, eternal life. through our
Lord Jesus Christ. That is what We
are preaching doctrines about
Christ, but the power of Christ; nor
truths about One who lived long ago,
hut about Him who lives now and
ever liveth, to give you and me power
in which to live, with which to see
to overcome evil and arise triumphant
