STRONG, TIMELY WORDS SPOKEN
FROM THE PULPITS OF ATLANTA
AGAINST CRIME & MOB VIOLENCE
Th* following excerpt* from sermons
delivered by the ministers of Atlanta
we given to the publto with the hope
that the strong words spoksn will help
to crystal Ixe a hearty and Immovable
puhlio opinion against crime and all
forms of mob vlolsnce.
This Is one step taken by the minis
'*'• in co-operation with the officers of
'he Business Men's Gospel Union, to
ward an effort to readjust the relations
of the races at the South'. It Is agreed
" n "11 sides that our civilization Is In
1*11, because of increasing crime and
lawlessness. The whole nation Is wak-
h-s to the condition, and men, overy-
"herc. are casting about for the best
method* to secure the proper enforce
ment .if law.
The Christian League, recently or-
K iiiizcd In this city with members from
hoih races, is now attempting to bring
"™er out of confusion and harmony out
discord nnd hate, through a sane,
"'und public opinion, to become rioml-
nnnt among nil the people. The end
"night Is concerted effort to Inspire in
People a greater respect for the
l ie re is needed strong public senti
ment to back up the law upon the fol
lowing propositions:
1. That criminal assaults upon wom
en constitute the most villainous crime
known to the catalogue of iniquities
and must be punished to the very ex
tent of the law In the execution of the
criminal.
2. That death by mob violence I*
murder, outright, and can have no ex
cuse or countenance in Christian civil!
ration or Individual or community life.
It violates the law of God and the law
of man as well.
3. That all law-abiding white people
nnd law-abiding negroes, ns far as may
be needed, will aid the proper officer*
of the law to apprehend nnd bring to
trial all offenders against the law,
Whether Individuals or mobs, regardless
of race, with such proof to convict as
may lie within their knowledge and
control.
4. That it Is the duty of every citizen
to be absolutely obedient to law nnd to
maintain the peaco of the community
ns far ns his power nnd Influence nmy
5. That 111 the adjustment of nil dif
ferences between the races absolute
Justice as to nil legal rights shall he
secured to each Individual, Irrespective
of race or social condition.
6. That the press of the state may be

or through petty technicalities that
finally defeat the end of Justice, and
demand auch changes In the law n* will

certain and effective.
The appeals pet out In these excerpt*,
taken from the sermons delivered, are
necessarily limited, but they constitute
an earnest, strong efTort made In God'a
name and for the sake of humanity,
that we may have security In our
homes, law and order In the community
nnd a civilisation worthy of the great
trusts that have been committed to us.

REV. JOHN F. PUR8ER.
Pastor West End Baptist Church.
Rom. 13:1-3. "Ju*t laws are made to
restrain evil and protect good. Die
powers that he are ordained of Ood,
ergo, every man owes unswerving oho*
dlenco to the lawn of his government.
We make one exception: If these law
are contrary to the laws of God then
must obey God rather than men.
Even then, passive resistance Is often
wlsfe, as In the case of our dissenting
brethren In England regarding the In
iquitous school tax. When Paul ut
tered his dictum he was the subject
of the Roman government with Nero,
the moat wicked and profligate of all
Roman wicked and profligate emper
ors, as the head and arbiter of Its laws.
Why could he say this? Because he
knew that a bad government was bet
ter than no government at all. Moh
law is no law. It brutalises men: It
makes beasts of human beings: It sub-
j verts all authority: It substitutes ven
geance for justice and defeats the ends
It seeks to gain. It Is a multitudinous
infamy of baseness, stupidity and sav-
agery. It Is humanity at Its lowest and
muddiest ebb. The death of a human
being at tho hands of his fellow men.
whether innocent.or guilty, when un
authorised by tho law, is the "grim

ghastly tragedies.** Such u moh. with
Its Illegal hour*, talre wltneioon. mock

crucified the innocent Son of Man. Such
a spirit Is in every mob which sets

Horn. i3:l-4. Men set themselves
against all authority, trample under
foot the majesty of the law, sow the
gro problem and have the law upheld,
get down the old Rook end see what
God. the Lord, has said about the
brotherhood of man nnd the father-
nood of God and what He says about

REV. H. H. PROCTOR,
Pastor First Congregational Church
(Colorsa).
Rom. 13:1. "Let every soul he ii
subjection to the higher powers." True
preaching takes t’hrist for Its center,
and from that pivot sweeps every de
tail of human conduct. This Includes
obedience to law. laiw’s seat Is the
bosom of God. uud the regulation of
the conduct of man to man Is essential
civilization. This Is civil law and
seed of anarchy, In nrdei to accomplish T'\ anarchy. Jus-
• ...... '.‘ cc ,>Il . nd ' “"‘l *"? demand for obe-
their own purposes and then turn and
appeal to the dethrened law for pro
tection. nnd are surprised at Itn Impo-
tenc.v.
We are living in perilous days, bu< to
seek to establish Justice by means of
lawlessness, is sowing the wind and
our children. If not we, will reap the
whirlwind.
It Is time for men to recognise the
ct that any man who violates tho
laws (.? his country is a lawbreaker,
whether it Ik- ihe law of common non-
esty or til#: state lew ich.tlve to tho
Sabbath, or the law that protects life
and property.
The representative citizenry must set
the example of obeying law because It
Is law. Let the respectable, profess
edly law-abiding citizens refrain from
their secular calling on the I^ord's day
—closing their stores and shops and
factories nnd offices—because the laws
of this commonwealth say they shall
close them, though these laws he not
enforced. *
The truly law-abiding citizen refrains
from doing forbidden things, not be
cause of the penalty, but because
these things are forbidden. He re
spects authority because all authority
has b*en ordained of God.
Rom. 11:1-4 is the best sermon ever
preached on law and order.
Let us lay a sure foundation by In
stilling Into the minds of the people
th® fundamental principles of right
eous government.
These principles ate not going to be
taught from the political platform, at

iticians.

d I once to law ami order knows no color
line. As a body, the colored race Is
law-abiding, those notorious moral de
generates being In no case representa
tive. Every Interest of the race Is cen
tered In Its observance of law anti or
der: the greatest enemy of any people
being Its, lawbreakers. There can be
no excuse for the breaking of the low;
Its sovereignty claims the solemn al
legiance of the greatest and the hum
blest. The lawbreaker pulls down tho
pillars of state, destroying both him
self and others. The greatest guaran
tee for law anti order Is the t'hrlstlan
home. < liven godly homes, where there
is real unity between the parents and '
true obedience on the part of the chil
dren, the lawbreaker will disappear, j
The home Is the reservoir from whence
flows those streams that make for weal ]
or woe to the state.
REV. T. H. RICE,
Pastor Central Presbyterian Church.
Horn. 13:5. The end sought In this
concerted effort Is to Inspire In all the
people a greater respect for the law of
the land In which we live. The part
which the Christian minister nmy take
In tho work Is to plainly declare what
God has said on the subject. He has
no commission from hls Master to ex
ploit or discuss the theories of civil
government which have been evolved In
the course of ages of human experience.
He Is the ambassador of Jesus f*hrlst
and Is under explicit instructions to
"preach the word." This by no means
restrict* the Christian minister’s power
to bless every department of human
life; for the Bible has Its message for
men touching everything essential to
their life here and hereafter, and its
message is the wisdom or God. and no
man can possibly do more for the wel
fare of the world than by explaining j
and enforcing God's will.
The text declines very plainly that ft
Is Ood’s will that men should obey the
civil authorities under which they live.
Y* must needs he subject."
Two teasonr for this nhedirtu-e are
used to enforce it.
The flrzt reason Is In the word
"wrath." The duty of obeying civil
rulers Is supported by terrible sanction.
God has ordained that the civil magls.
irate shall not bear the sword In vain,
that In. to ro purpose The contempt
of law le sure to bring the frightful
penalty. If the magistrate In any given
case falls to execute the penalty. God
has conferred on this law an automatic*
power of enforcing Itself. The law- j
I breaker Is very apt to come to a felon’s i
end, the violent man Is very apt t#>{
cet a violent diatli, while the commu
nity which Is lax In enforcing law Is
sowing a harvest of anarchy*
The second reason for obeying the
law Is conscience—“for conscience
sake." This Is. the appeal to the nobler
heart. All true respect for law Is
reached In reverence for God. He who
attacks the law strikes a blow openly
nnd without disguise at the person and
throne of God. Head the first three
verses of Romans 13. Moreover, all
who love the gospel and want to see It
prosper must obey their governors and
support the law. This Is Insisted on In
I Tint., the second chapter.
REV. W."tTHAMBY,
Pastor Walker 8tr«et Methodist Church
Rom. 13:1; II Tim. 3:1-2. The min
isters of tho city have been requested
to preach today on obedience to law.
Recent events Justify the call. The
public conscience must be aroused and
our paople must be led to see the
necessity nnd Importance of good oitl
zenshlp.
God Is behind good government. The
laws of our land grow out of the Ten
('ommandmment*. Man Is made a lit
tle lower than the angels that he may
have dominion over the earth. The
powers that be ure ordained of God
Every soul Is subject to the higher
powers;
A true conception of tin* majesty
it law will insure respect for It. llcnco
ive must recognize the authority of law,
‘itltivate a spirit of reverence for law
and become g«swl citizens by submis
sion to law. Let us rcmcinl>er the Bi
ble Injunction that "supplication, pray
ers. Intercessions nnd thanksgiving be
made for all who are In uuthority that
wo may lead a quiet and penceuhle life
In all Godliness and honesty."
Mr. Gladstone has declared that the
purpose of law Is to make It hard to
do w rong ami easy to do right. Right
doing not only exalts the nation, hut
It uplifts brightness and sweetness and
makes powerful Individual life, home-
life, social life, civic life—all life.
REV. S.TTcOWAN.
Paztor Immanuel Baptist Church.
Permanency of government makes
the law necessary. ..Men are by nature
bent on mischief. There must he some
flnul authority. Many men seam to
look upon law ns their enemy. ••Rulers
are not a terror to good works." Law,
Is not the enemy of any man win*
loves righteousness. There la lomu-
thlng radically wrong tbmit the man
who looks upon good government as
hls enemy. The aim of law la twofold
to restrain the libertlno and protecc
the good citizen. The law In Its aim
Is preventive, protective and correct
ive. it encourages liberty but curbs
license. A good man respects law and
counts it hla friend. Tha good man,
rejoices in the abundance of hls lib
erties under tho law, while the hod
man complaint that all hls rights have
been taken away. The aim of the Jawi
Is to promote happiness and encourage |
worthy pursuits.
Effectiveness of law la destroyed if'
it can be broken at will. No law la ef
fective If exceptions are made in which
It may be disregarded. Effectiveness
lies In enforcement. Every law Is right;
or wrong. If tt is wrong it should bo
re|x*uled. If it is right It should bo
enforced. Laws that are broken au
will become a curse because they hin
der the enforcement of other laws. If!
th«* breaking of one law la allcwed. lib
erties will be taken with another. 8#>i
In the last analysis obedience to law;I
gives the effectiveness of law.
Th Anal safeguard for the effective- ,
ness «:f law Is wholesome public sen
timent. We get what public sentiment 1
calls for. Jf the people are back of tho
law, men in executive positions will
Mad no trouble in enforcing the law.
Here is the place for the pulpit to ex
ercise Its God-given function. Labor..
preach and pray lor a wholesome, sane *
public sentiment.
