GRADUATES HEAR
ANOTHER SERMON
DR.. Burgan breaches To Those
Of High School Who Attend
Calvary Church

By way of a baccalaureate, Rev. III.
Wilson Burgan, pastor of Calvary
Methodist Church, yesterday preached
sermon before a large number OF
memt ers of the class graduated from
Annapolis High School on June IA.
The sermon and service were arrang-
ed especially for those mehl ers of
the class who belong to the Methodist
Church, and all, save one, were pres
ent, the absentee being prevented
from attending by reason of al sence.
A large congregation was present
for the occasion. DIR. Burgan preach
ed upon the general theme "The Di-
vine Challenge" His text was from
jeremiah, 1875: IF thou hast run with
footmen, and they have wearied thee.
then how canst thou contend with
horses? The preacher, in part: said !:
Jeremiah was in distress. The bur-
dens heaped upon his shoulders SEEM
ed ehayier than he could bear. Be-
cause he was proclaiming righteous
ness he was heralded as unpatriotic.
A plot was discovered against his life.
In the midst of these experiences he
complained to God about his troubles.
asking why it was that he, as right
eous man, should suffer so much.
Gods answer, in the words of the
text, was a challenge flung out to
him in this moment of discourage
ment and despair.
Several lessons present themselves
which grow cut of this experience of
Jeremiahs, and Gods treatment of
him at this time. 1. The strongest of
men become discouraged. This wa.
true of Elijah, of John the Baptist. of
Paul, and even of Jesus. 2. In these
moments of depression God sends to
us a challenge. BY winning at these
testing periods we prepare ourselves
for the harder battles which are
ahead. If we yield to the weariness
that comes with the contest against
footment in the race Of life where will
we bo when the sterner race comes
in after life when we must vie with
horses? 3. By winning at such times
We build character, and develop our
selves for the heavier burdens which
come with time, and the promotions
in life. 4. Gods chief ambition for
US is Character. He does not promise
us easy lives. What he wants from
those who have received preparation
for leadership is Character. 5. The
qualities which aid us in winning VIC
tories in moments of despair, and pre-
pare us for more exacting tasks as
the weight of the years falls upon us
ere patience, perseverance and endur-
ance"

TUN|S STRANGE WINS
AUTO; CARNIVAL PONY
GOES TO LITTLE BOY

Two men and little boy, were the
three fortunates among hundreds of
residents of the city and elsewhere,
in winning the main prizes drawn for
Saturday night at the close of the an
nual carnival under the auspices of
the Rescue Hose Company of volun-
teer firemen, which had been in prog
ross on the West street lot through
out the week.
r. Tunis Strange, junior member of
the firm of Strange and Sons, Main
street, was the lucky winner of the
biggest award of all-the handsome
cleveland Six" automobile. Mr.
Strange held ticket No. 4S35-A, which
entitled him to the car. Ernest Dan
iels, an employee of the Power plant
Of the Washington, Baltimore and An
napolis Electric Railways, held ticket
No. 210-A, which was the lucky one
in the drawing for the canoe. And the
possessor of the pretty pony that had
gladdened the hearts of all kiddies
who visited the carnival, and gave
them feeling of longing to own it,
is little "Bennie" Britton, Jr., son OF
Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin c. Britton, OF
West street. The lucky ticket in the
drawing for the animal was 1892.
The firemen have not canvassed all
returns from their carnival, but indi-
cations are that it met with much sue
cess. A snug sum will be realized on
the automobile alone, as it is stated
that 10000 chances were disposed OF
at 10 cents each.

Mcpherson on Northwest street,
where the Smith woman is also said
to have made her home. II all hap
penod 50 quickly that other colored
residents OF the neighborhood were
startled. Several theories have been
advanced as motive for the murder
and suicide but the one that seems
more generally accepted is that Me-
Pherson and the woman had engaged
in a quarrel following the action of
the latter in going on an excursion
last Friday with another colored man.

PhersOn, and another cOlored man
were in the house at the time of the
tragedy, and Charlie threatened TO
shoot them, when, after hearing the
first shot that mortally wounded the
negress. they started to 80 upstairs to
investigate. Spying the infuriated
man at the top of the stairs, with the
| weapon in his hands, they ran for
their lives. Even then, Charlie is said
10 have clicked the trigger three
times, but the cartridge failed to ex-
Dlode. Immediately aftcrward an
other shot rang out. Then all became
quiet, and the younger Mcpherson
and the other colorod man went up
stairs, and found the bodies of the
on the floor of a bedroom McPher-
sons death was instantaneous. The
Smith woman was still alive. She
was hurried to Emergency Hospital,
but died upon reaching there. She
was shot below the right breast, and
the bullet crashed through the liver.
The shooting was done with a reyol-
yer OF .3S-c&liber.

of years employed as waiter in the
grill room of Hotel Maryland. His
friends say he appeared apparently in
good shape on Saturday. having been
on duty throughout the day. Even
