Maier & Berkele 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.
