was an incident in life that had IL
ight To be heard.
Therefore. The time for prclimin-
AIRY hearing appeared The Assistant
prosecuting Attorney Joseph G.. Ira
Wis was on hand promptly at the very
hour. In the case wherein the defcn-
dantS had no council, the ProsecuI-
Ing attorney rs well aS did the Mayor
agree to send on to the Grand Jury
after learning there was probable
cause for which the accused should
be- brought in court.
The next was another ease wherein
nothing but just sufficient evidence
warranted the holding of this accused

without band.
This cas- was couricously deferred
because of the absence of Dr.. j. f.
Down who treated the ease. All de
cent and SClf-rcsccting people are
withholding their opinion til after

the case has been gone through with.
The crowd dispersed quietly and but
few persons were ever heard to voice
an opinion. All parties concerned are
members of the Negro group. AttOr-

CONSTABLE RICHARDS OUT
For several weeks and months Con
stable Henry, Richards Of Kimbau,
former Republican salesman for the
County and State of West Virginia,
fell into ill-health which caued him
to be forced TO his bed and room and
out Of the public picture as he had
for so many years been a figure. His
friends, most Of them least suspected
his condition to. have been what It
was ultimately discovered, but it is
great pleasure to- learn Of hts i'm
provement. The health of. any man
is far more important than, his poll
ties, and for this reason reference to
any mans politics as an item against
health and happiness means nothing
Certainly Mr.. Henry Richards has a

course, he has no enemies, want to
always know he is well, hale, hearty
and happy. .s.' :. - ~"

Jeeus in Cethsemane, Luke 22:39-
II, for Sunday June Z:
Gethsemane won the victory of
Calvary. Out OF this agony Jesus
stepped out calm and strong for
the final hour.
V. 50. "And he came out and
went. as his custom was, unto the
mount of Olives; and the disciples
also followed him. Jesus retired
to al accustomed place for prayer;
his followers could do no less than
follow him.
V. 40 "And when he was at the
place, he said unto them, Pray that
We enter not into temptation.
Prayer keeps open the channels of
communications with God and pro-
vides the necessary strength for vic
tory over sin.
V. Al, AZ "And he was parted
from them about a stones cast, and
he kneeled down and prayed, saying,
Father if thou be willing, remove
this cup from me; nevertheless not
my will, but thine be done" There
are two wills here, the will of God
and the will of Christ, but these two
wills were agreed. All sin arises
from our doing our own will and
disregarding Gods will
v 49, "And there appeared an
angel unto him from heaven,
strengthening him. There divine
refreshing of soul was provided by
a special messenger. Gods grace
for all our needs is promised.

V. A. "And being in agony, he
prayed most earnestly; and his
sweat became as it were great drops
of blood falling down upon the
ground" He knew full we'll that
he was to die on the cross, but here
was an unheard of experience in
volying the hideousness Of the sin
Of humanity with It's awful conse-
quences.
V. As. "And when he rose up
from prayer, and was come to his
disciples, he found them sleeping
Tor sorrow G. H. Knight says,
'+When / think Of my Incidence in
the Masters service, of my indif-
ference to his glory, of my self-in-
diligence, | am forced to feel that
am sleeping my life away"
V. 46. "And said unto them,
Why sleep ye? Rise and pray lest
ye enter into temptation" Because
they failed to realize the magnitude
of the crisis, the disciples missed a
great opportunity of serving their
Lord by watching with him.
V. ~. "And while he spake, be-
hold a Multitude, and he that was
called Judas, one of the twelve,
went before them, and drew near
unto Jesus to kiss him." The be-
trayal of Christ by Judas is so hat
ed, that no parent has ever called
his child Judas.
Y. 48. but Jesus said unto him,
Judas, betrayest thou the Son of
Man with kiss?" 1t is possible to
plan a sinful deed when bearing the
name Christian; we must beware of
religious cloaks.
V 40. so. when they which
were about him saw what would
follow, they said unto him, Lord,
a certain one of them smote the
servant of the high priest, and
struck off his right ear" This was
Christ's last healing miracle-a typ
ical act of mercy to an enemy. Jesus
would not allow history to point to
him as a leader of an armed force.
This act of love as recorded in
verse 81 was another evidence of
His Messiahship. We serve Christ
best not by fighting, but by suffer-
ing and even dying for him.
V. SO. ''And Jesus said to the
chief priests and captains of the
temple, and the elders which were
come to him, Be ye come out, as
against a thief, with swords and
staves?" The fact that they did
not arrest Jesus publicly nor with
out violence nor in the light of day,
is evidence that the arrest is un-
justifiable. Jesus was greatly mis-
understood, else no attempt by
weapons would have been made.
V. So. when | was daily with
you in the temple, ye stretched
forth no hands against me; but this
is your hour, and the power of
darkness. They were towards when
they sought Jesus after night in

them to do their worst, this hour
was to be marked up against them
as an evil deed to be remembered
for ages; it was their deed, and
therefore their hour

today he teaches we are our broth
er's keeper. There have been all
kinds of plans to solve the prob
lens, and they have all failed, be-
cause they were of a selfish stand
point, and were not based on the
foundation on which our govern
ment was founded government of
the people, by the people. and for
the people. God laid down the
foundation for the first government,
the Ten Commandments. But peo-
pie soon began to stray from the
law. He has prepared leaders, all
down through the years to lead his
people back to right, and finally he
sent his son. His platform was
Love" The first and great COM
mandment "Thou shalt love the
Lord, thy God, with all thy heart,
with all thy might, with all thy
SOUL" and a second is like unto
the first "Thou shalt love thy neigh
Dor as thyself."
How did the people receive the
son? He was brought before the
law and prosecuted, but he went
about doing good to his fellowman,
not for gain for himself. He was
driven from Jerusalem, but in time
with a multitude of followers, he
made triumphal entry into Jeru-
salem. But in a short time he was
crucifed. For crime, for con-
spiracy? No, for daring to stand
for right, among a mob that had
forgotten God, and the principles
he gave them to be governed by.
But the work did not stop. 1t was
carried on by his followers, and the
principle lives on today. When our
government was started in u. S. A.,
there were formed two parties-a
Republican and Democratic. If
you will study their platforms, you
will not find anything radically
wrong with either one, just a diff
ference of opinions. Everything
went along all right until political
machine was set up with such pow
err that the men we send to con-
