royal couple have been anxious to see
reconciliation between the duke and

zled by the announcement In The Mtorn
ing Post that ’’the duk« of Marlborough

CLEAR NOTE SOUNDED
BY ATLANTA PASTORS
FOR REIGN OP LAW
The following excerpts from sermons
delivered by the ministers of Atlanta
are given to the public with the hope
that the strong words spoken will help
to crystatlse a hearty and Immovable
public opinion against crime and all
forma of mob vlolencs.
This I, one step taken by the minis
tsr. In co-operation with the officer,
the Business Men's Gospel Union, to<
ward an effort to readjust thti relations
of the races at the South.
The Christian League, recently or
ganized In this city with members from
sound public opinion, to become doml
nant among all the people. The ehd
sought Is concerted effort to Inspire In
all the people a greater respect for the
law.
There Is needed strong public sent!
ment to hack up the Ian- upon the fol
lowing propositions:
1. That criminal assaults upon work
en constitute the most villainous crime
known to the catalc
and must be punishes
tent of the law In the execution of the
criminal.
2. That death by mob violence
murder, outright, and can have no ex
cuse or countenance In Christian civil!
satlon or Individual or community life.
It violates the law of God and the law
of man as welt.
3. That all law-abiding white people
and law-abiding negroes, as far as may
be needed, will aid the proper officers
of the law to apprehend and bring to
trial all offenders aralnat the law,
whether Individuals or mobsf regardless
of race, with such proof to convict as
may be within their knowledge and
control.
4. That It Is the duty of every citizen
to be absolutely obedient to law and to
maintain the peace of the community
as far as his power and Influence may
go.
6. That In the adjustment of all dlf
ferences between the races absol '
Justice as to all legal rights shell
secured to each Individual, Irrespectlvi
race or social condition.
8. That the press of the state may be
used to create, In every possible way,
such public sentiment as will maintain
obedience to law.
7. That all the pdople may pronounce,
positive!^, against all undue delays by
the courts, whether In forips of the law
or through petty technicalities that
Anally defeat the -end of Justice, and
demand such changes in the law as wilt
make the penalties for violation swift,
certain and effective.
W. J. NORTHEN.
REV. W. A. FOUNTAIN.
Pastor Allsn Templt A. M. E. Church.
Gal. 6:14. St. Paul would have all
rational creatures and Christians
know that all the commandments of
the second table touching the mutual
duties of life—honesty, truth, peace,
charity and law—are fulfilled In these
words, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor
■ thyself.'
God expects the people and especially
the rulers In the church and the state
love and obey lllm. This Is Inc urn
bent upon all men. Irrespective of creed,
political party or color. Grow care
less toward his great Ideal of living
and get Intoxicated with prnepertty
nnd fall to practice the golden rule and
thla country, like Carthage and Rome,
rill become a hiss and a byword among
the nations.
We are all on trial before God and
man. We have grown too careless In
our respect for both the moral and
civil laws. We are our brother's keep,
er tfhd we can only be this by respect,
Ing t>ie moral and the civil codes. “Vfe
are members one of another,” and as
such we have relative duties which
grow out of our mutual relationship.
In order for the interest of all we must
call upon the conservative, peace-lov
ing citizens evtrywhere, Irrespective of
color, to acknowledge the great truth
of the text that, all the law Is fulfilled
In one word, even In this, “Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as thyself." Only
by a strict adherence to this Injunc
tion will the majesty of the low be up
held. God Is as much a God of races
as of Individuals and His favor, like
His spirit, will not always strive with
men.
Will America, after her mud baths
of crimes, lynchlngs and discrimina
tions, ever rise to the dignity of a
Christian nation? This question Is be
ing answered right here In Georgia by
the men who compote the recently-
organized League to readjust the re
lations of the races. The only solution
to the perplexing problem Is to be
found In practicing the Injunction of
our text.
We desire It known to th^world that,
as a race, we condemn the rapist, the
lynchers and all other criminals while
we assure the people that In our re
spectable homes these classes are not
to be found. We aland ready to hunt
down the criminals In dives and other
notorious places and lend every posai
ble assistance to the officers of the law-
ferreting nut and bringing to swift
and speedy Justice all criminals. We
emphasize that we want them brought
justice, not to blood-thirsty mobs arid
lynchers, but to Justice. We nre earn
est In our contention that crime haa
no color and all criminals should
brought to Justice. As our hearts are
right on this subject, will not our
white brethren give us the assurance
that the frenzied mob shall not tram
ple the majesty of the law under their
savage feet? "Is thine heart right as
my heart la with thy heart? If It
be give me your hand.”
We are all agreed that the lawless,
vicious element among us Is oar
greatest drawback. This element per
sists In being the millstone about ottr
neck. They are seen In dives and
slums of our cities and on the. high
ways, railroads and country districts
as well. That multitudes of our
tlon over the precipice of Intemperance
and Immorality are patent facta to the
casual observe?.
We appeal with all tha earnestness
of our soul to the mothers and fathers
to begin early to train their children
In the fear, nurture and admonition of
the Lord. Only along this Una will law
and order be supreme In our communi
ty. Let us not become discouraged.
The Intelligent press and powerful pul
pits of the South have decided that our
race. Ilka other races, has two classes
—good and bad.
We are secure In the belief that the
gospel of the meek and lowly Xazarene
Is the only panacea for all the prob
lems of life.
REV. G."h7MACK,
Pastor of Cumberland Presbyterian
Church.
Every set of conditions hat Its pres
ent duty, as well as Its future con
siderations. *We may not know what
will be the outcome of the complex
workings of the present; we have our
views, our convictions, our prejudices.
We will And that the future Is best
solved, Is only solved, by doing right
eously In the present. As statesmen
we may plan for the future—we will
do so as thoughtful people—but ■ that
does not absolve us from doing right
eously now. Righteousness—that Is
the solvent.
This performance of present duty
must not wait upon any future devel
opment, The repeal of an amendment,
waiting until the negro reaches a cer
tain development—these can form no
sufficient reason for doing unjustly
now. Arty Injustice done by a part of
the social body must react for Injury
“pen all. And regarding the negfh,
the Christian white man must temper
his actions with mercy. For the Afri
can Is the white man's ward and must
be dealt with patiently and with
long-suffering.” No policy of fear
will succeed. The Anglo-Saxon must
stand In the majesty of his dearly-
bought freedom as a self-controlling
being, and because of that Intellectual,
moral and Industrial freedom he must
deal In n generous, Christian wny with
those who are not so fortunate.
Society Is made up of Individuals.
And because these are many we may
ot relieve oprselvcs of responsibility
and hide behind the organised forms of
latv. Each of us Is under obligations
to help solve a hard question and solve
t In our Individual duties. "No man
llveth-unto himself." As citizens who
make the laws, as those who employ
men, as members of a domestic circle
where we touch those of another race,
we each have our part In the solution
of the difficulties. No lawless outbreak
can help us. The Anglo-Saxon Is law-
abiding. If his sense of Justice Is out
raged, he will. If acting sanely, remedy
the evil In a lawful way. Let us recall
ourselves to fundamentals In a time of
tension and fear.
REV. G. W. LUKE, , ,
Pastor of McKInlty Tsmpls (Colored).
Mat. 7:12. This divine injunction of
our blessed Lord Iq. Intended to be the
standard of our conduct at home .and
the rule of our actions abroad, it Is
called the golden rule and presupposes
three things: \
1. That all men Are expected to love
one another,
2. No man is entitled to better treat
ment from others than he Is willing to
Record to them, that God takes the will
for the deed, making one's settled de
sire the criterion and standard of his
character. Now, then, let the colored
men be no mbre guilty ot violating thla
divine Injunction. Let them do better
by returning to their God, to tho
churches nnd holding to their lawful
marital relations.'
As for our white friends: IVc sre
here together, our Interests are one, our
welfnre Is one. What Is good for one
Is good for the other. What will hurt
one will hurt the oiher. Let us now
and henceforth forget the things of the
past and, It nmy be the prejudices of
the present, while we renew that same
old friendly relation for each other that
existed twenty-live years ago.
Out of more than 60,000 negroes with
in and around Atlanta I do not think
I would he wrong to say that not more
than 10,000 of them are churchgoers.
The other 40,000 are spending their
time on the Sabbath In pool rooms,
rambling dens, whisky and beer sa-
oons, or riding about on electric cars.
From these classes come all the had
negroes that make the law-breaking
class.

NEGROES Si SPENDTHRIFTS
AIDED BY CARNEGIE FUND
London, Dec. 17.—Professor Sir Wil
liam Japp Sinclair, of Victoria Uni
versity, Manchester, In a speech at
Aberdeen, voiced-the numerous stvere
complaints of the evil effect of Andrew
Carnegie's gift of 2.840,000 pounds to
the Scottish universities. He said he
had never met an Aberdeen graduate
who did not denounce tha Influence of
the gift.
It le learned from other sources that
the provision wharaby any Scottish
student may apply to the Carnegie
trust for fees haa been Interpreted with
auch latitude that even some negro
students have received aid. The prac
tical effect of the gift waa that most
atudents at all tha Scottish universities
had drawn fees from the true! fund,
many of them equanderlng the money
supplied by their parents and conceal
ing the fact that they received help
from the fund.
