PROTESTANT CANCELLATION
IN PORTO RICO
COOPERATION OF DENoMINA-
TioNs IN MISSIONARY ENDEAV-
oR-THE Y. M. C. A. AND THE
Y. w. C. A.

Protestant evangelization is endeav-
oring to extend itself in Porto Rico.
Immediately at the close of the recent
Panama Congress regional confer
ence of missionaries was held in that
territory. All denominations engaging
in work on the island were to be
represented. An Evangelical Union
resulted, composed or to be composed
"of the evangelical denominations en-
braced in the Federation of Churches
of Porto Rico and such other bodies
as adhere to the Scriptures as the
Word of God, to the scriptural doctrine
of the Trinity, manifest the Spirit of
Christ and seek to apply His prin-
ciples to their lives and to society"
So we are informed at least is the
latest issue of "The Missionary Re-
view of the World" (Vol. xxx, No.
5, p. 1861.
A Central Conference Committee of
the Unions is to be formed TO con-
slider the problems common to the
evangelical bodies subcommittee
are to be established also to carry out
the work in detail. 1.-THE interchange
of church-members among various de-
nominations was also urged, and a
prompt enlistment of all evangelical
Christians in the work and fellowship
of the churches of their community,
SO that the essential unity of all be-
levers may be magnified In service
and Christian brotherhood"
Not alone is this union of forces to
be effected between the various de-
nominations. but the Young Mems
Christian Association and the Young
Women's Christian Association are to
be likewise pressed into service. 1T
was recommended that the claims OF
the students of the University of Porto
Rico be presented to the International
Committee of the Y. NJ. G. A. and the
National Board Of the x. w. G. A,
with the earnest request that they
undertake the. task Of meeting the
social and religious needs OF the stu
dents, furnish dormftories, and minis
ter in other ways to their wellbeing."
This evangelization is directed to-
ward the goal Of freeing Porto Rico
from the yoke of Rome. That cannot
be denied. Evangelical Protestant de-
nominations are to unite under the one
banner Of non-secta rianism tor their

IRISH AUTHOR DEAD
T. D. SULLIVAN is BEST KNOWN
AS THE AUTHOR OF "GoD SAVE
lRELAND"-THE STORY OF THE
ANTHEM.

T. D. Sullivan, author of Ireland's
best known anthem, God Save Ire
land" is dead. Timothy Daniel Sulli-
van was born in 1848 and though
brought up in small and remote
town, still had ample opportunity to
obtain thorough education. He first
tried his hand as an artist, but early
in his life showed his preference for
literary career. He came to Dublin
at an early age and began writing for
the Nation" where his writings at
once attracted attention and the poeti-
cal genius of ''T. D." was not long in
being recognized. Although he wrote
many love poems and tender elegies,
his preference was always for the
muse that stirs and cheers. AS an
Illustration of the popularity of his
writings we Gull the following from
an exchange:
A well known story with regard to
the Song from the Backwoods" will
illustrate the influence of T. D. Sulli-
vans muse Most Irishmen know that
splendid little poem, with it's bold
opening, and its splendid refrain:
Deep in Canadian woods we've met,
From one bright island down;
Great is the land we tread, but yet
Our hearts are with our own.
And ere we leave this shanty small,
While fades the autumn day,
Wen toast old Ireland
Dear old Ireland
Ireland, boys, hurrah!
The song which was published in
the Nation in 1857, first became popu-
lar among the members of the Phoenix
Society-who, it will be remembered,
we're at work in 1858-and was car
ried to America by Captain D. j. Dow
ling, one of the association. 1t rapidly
became popular, both among the
Fenians, who we're beginning to be
organized, and among the Irish sol
diers who were fighting in the Ameri-
can army. Every man of the Irish
Brigade knew it, and it was often
sung at the biyouac fire after hard
days fighting. An extraordinary in
stance of it's popularity was given by
a writer signing himself Romeo" in
the New York Irish People of March
9, 1857. "On the night" he writes,
@of the bloody battle of Fredricks-
burg, the Federal army lay sleepless
and watchful on their guns, with
spirits damped by the loss of so many
gallant comrades. To cheer his
brother officers, Captain Downing
sang his favorite song. The chorus
of the first stanza was taken up by
his dashing regiment, next by the
brigade, next by the division, then by
the entire line of the army for six
miles along the river, and when the
captain ceased, it was but to listen
with indefinable feeling to the chant
that came like an echo from the Con-
federate lines on the opposite shore
of
Dear old ireland,
Brave old ireland,
Ireland, boys, hurrah!

and friends they left on earth.
They learn of what takes place on
earth from God Who makes it known
to them according as He pleases and
according to our prayers. This fact is
based on the doctrine of the Com
munion of Saints, by which all the
faithful on earth are united to the
Souls in Purgatory, and the Blessed
in Heaven, through their one common
head, Jesus Christ, through Whom
they have the same Faith, Hope and
Charity. For the Blessed in Heaven,
faith has been changed into vision,
hope into possession, charity alone
never passing away.

of Sonora Benancia Sotelo de Domin-

ing to the complaint, Sonora Domin-
guez owned large amount of
property opposite the Plaza in the
early days, and at one time gave, it
was alleged, a verbal lease of fifty
feet of the property adjoining the
church on the south to be used as
burial ground until such time as the
church acquired a permanent burial
ground This the church did in 1875,
according to the complaint, which also

Do the Blessed In Heaven think of
their beloved ones on earth; do they
know what is going on in the world?
The two great commandments. that
include all the others, are to love God
and to love our neighbor. The more
fully we are imbued with the spirit
of God, the more perfectly we will
obey this twofold law. The Blessed
in Heaven are filed with Gods spirit
of charity, and therefore aflame with
love of God and love of neighbor.
Relatives and friends left on earth
have prior claim upon this love; and,
certainly God, Who teaches us this
virtue, will most readily approve of
its practices We assure the inquirer,
therefore, that the Blessed in Heaven
both think of and love the relatives

DAVIS WRITES TO
GOVERNOR FOR LIFE
Condemned Negro Asks Hatfield TO
Spare Him From Death
on Galows.

Governor TT. D. Hatfield has receiv-
ed personal letter from Eldrldge
Davis. the negro murderer awaiting
death in the penitentiary at Mounds
Vile, for commutation OF the death
sentence to one of life Imprisonment.
In his letter, Davis urges the gov
ernor to take him into consideration
the fact that he is a man Of powerful
physique and able to do lot Of work.
The prisoner pledges himself to work
hard in the prison the rest of his days
provided the governor will spare his
life.
Davis, for whom the darkness of
despair seems to be gathering, is
sentenced to be hanged at Mounds
vile on Friday evening of this week.
No appeal in his behalf had reached
Governor Hatfield until the letter
from Davis arrived at the executive
office.
Persons in Charleston. who are IA
miliar with the story of the crime
for which Davis is sentenced TO die,
believe that Governor Hatfield will
not interfere with the sentence OF
the Mcdowell county court. The vic.
tim of the crime was Bertha Gamble,
young colored woma,, whose home
was near that of Davis at a small
Mcdowell county mining town. Da-
Wis was in a quarrel with a colored
boy at the girls home. She asked him
to stop swearing and he became an
CRY at her, drew a revolver and shot
her down in the doorway of hey
home. Davis escaped TO another
house nearby, secured double-bar
rel shot gun and standing off persons
who attempted to stop him ran to
the doorway of the room where she
lay and fired the contents of both
barrels of the gun into her death bed.
The girl died in few minutes.
Davis was arrested. He wanted to
plead guilty to charge of murder,
but Mcdowell county court officials
would not accept his plea The negro
was compelled to stand trial and the
jury returned verdict of first de-
gree murder in the form that car
ries with it the penalty of death at
Moundsvilie.
Permits to witness the execution
have been received from Warden M. y
White by court officials and jurymen
who were connected with Davis trial.
