"Everyman" at the Grand.
Everyman" and "The Merchant of
Venice" will be produced at the Grand
by the Ben Greet Players of London.
There will be a matinee of "Every
man" Saturday afternoon, . perfor
mances Saturday and Monday nights,
yd Tuesday at matinee, while "The
Merchant of Venice” will be rendered
on Tuesday night. Seats are now on
sale at the Grand box office, and from
the large number of Inquiries and res
ervations that have been received
there Is every Indication that capacity
houses will attend each performance.
"Everyman" Is the star attraction of
Mr. Greet’s repertoire. It is an old
morality play, written in an allegorical
vein, and was produced by the monks
of the middle ages when the church
had absolute control of the stage. It
teaches a great lesson, and has been
universally commended, not alone for
Its good Influence, but for the dramatic
and artistic production.
"Beauty and the Beaat.”
Unabated Is the notable success of
“The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast,"
which Is drawing Immense and fash
ionable audiences en tour. This pro
duction comes to the Grand on Wed-
neoday and Thursday nights and
Thursday matinee. It Is wonderful to
contemplate the amount of work which
had to be done to bring about such
completeness of the production with
its hundreds of performers and Its
many scenes, the setting of which are
described as marvelously beautiful.
Surprises constantly unfold to the
view. It Is said, and are so rapid In
succession that almost while one is still
revelling In tho charm of one scene, an
other fit equal attractiveness follows.
Long as the performance Is, It never
weurles; It Is apparent to all that a
master hand devised the costumes and
hundreds are required In the piece, and
■Uch pretty girls, too, as one finds
wearing them. Seldom Is It the good
fortune to behold such a beautiful lot
of young women as in "The Sleeping
Beauty and the Beast,” so say those
who hare seen the performance.
At the Bijou.
"When Knighthood Was In Flower,"
which comes next week, to the Bijou,
Is a complete success. Tfie evefits fol
low the scenes of the novel more close
ly than tho casual reader would have
thought possible. The story Is as clear
as If every line written In the book
were spoken by the characters. From
the opening scene In' Windsor Pork
until the curtain drope on the final
union of Mary Tudor and Charles
Brandon (portrayed by Alfred Swen-
sop), Charles Major’s book Is before
the audience.
; -"The Millionaire Detective" has three
more performances to Ha credit this
week at the Bijou. Judging from the
Interest shown by local theater-goers
In the performance, the popular thea
ter will bo filled to Its capacity at all
remaining performances, Howard Hall
plays the leading role In a most pleas
ing manner and his support is very
clever. ,
There will be a matinee ns usual Sat
urday afternoon.
CLEAR NO IE SOUNDED
BY ATLANTA PASTORS'
FOR REIGN OF 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 crystallxe a hearty and Immovable
public opinion against crime and all
forms of mob violence.
This Is one step taken by the minis)-
ters In co-operation with the officers of
the Business Men’s Gospel Union, to
ward an effort to readjust the relations
of the races at the South.
The Christian League, recently or
ganized In this city with members from
both races, Is now attempting to bring
order out of confusion and harmony out
of discord and hate, through a sane,
sound public opinion, to become domi
nant among all the people. The end
sought Is concerted effort to Inspire in
all the people a greater respect for the
law.
There 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 Is
murder, outright, and can have no ex
cuse or countenance in Christian civili
zation 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
and law-abiding negroes, as far os may
be needed, will aid the proper officers
of the law to apprehend and bring to
trial all offenders aralnst the law,
whether Individuals or mobs, 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.
Sciences between the races absolute
Justice as to all legal rights shall be
secured to each Individual, irrespeettr
of race or social condition.
6. That the press of the state may be
used to create, In eyery possible, way,
such public sentiment as will maintain
obedience to law.
7. That all the r
positively, against
the courts, whether in forms of the law
or through petty technicalities that
finally defeat the end of Justice, and
demand such changes In the law as will
make the penalties for violation swift,
certain and effective. •
W. J. NOR’THEN,
Baldwin-Mellvill# Company.
The performance Thursday night of
the Baldwln-Melvllle Stock Company
at the El Dorado was the play, "Worn'
an Against Woman,” by Frank Har
The piay Is one with a great
deal of heart Interest and deals with
the fight of a woman against another
woman's Jealousy. Some of the scenes
are exceptionally strong and the play
throughout is very enjoyable.
Miss Vail DeVemon was given the
first chance she has so far had to show
what she was able to do, and her act
ing, especially in tho fourth act, was
as good a’» any ever seen at this the
ater Mr. Webb’s John Tresseder was
satisfactory. The comedy work of
Seymour Silver and Frances Murdoch
brought forth much laughter from the
spectators. Special mention ^deserved
Her
by Miss Louise Kent for her especially
good work in the heavy part.
. . . Inf
make-up for the part and her interpre
tation were equal))* good.
"Woman Against Woman" will be
given again Friday afternoon and night
and Saturday afternoon and night. On
Saturday the matinee will be the spe
cial children’s matinee, to which all
school children will be admitted free.
Children’s Free Matinee.
Ail day long litere has been a steady
stream of children passing in and out
of the El Dorado theater, asking for
tickets to the Saturday afternoon per
formance of "Woman Against Woman,
In which the talented child actress,
little Lottie Salsbury will appear.
This crowding of children to obtain
tickets for the performance was on ac.
count of the fact that the management
announced In yesterday’s Georgian that
thev would on Saturday afternoon
throw the doors of the popular play
house open to the school children of
Atlanta, and that they wanted every
mother and child In Atlanta to come to
the Saturday matinee and see little
Lottie on her first appearance In At-
lnnta.

At Abe Star theater all this week "A
Desperate Game" has sustained the
reputation of this house for good shows.
It Is a drama that fairly thrills one.

REV. J. A. MARTIN,
Pastor Wtet Mitchell C. M. E. (Colored)
Mat. 7:12. "Therefore all things
whatsoever ye would that men should
do to you, do even so to them: for this
Is the law and the prophets."
This statement Is the central truth of
the entire Bible as the Savior plainly
claims. He not only suggests a prac
tical Christianity but preached and
practiced It under all circumstances.
His living It, however, is of more Im
portance than His teaching It. The age
needs a practical Bible life. Nothing
Is more significant than the fact that
the preachers and the people are at
tempting to tench the gospel of peace
as a unit In this city. Not In so many
words, as In earnest words enforced by
an earnest life. The chief end of all
law Is to do good and promote peace
and prosperity. The Bible standard
life prevents us breaking the city or
state law. it goes further than have us
keep our common laws. The many
worded stated laws are complicated
and also fade with a progressive peo
ple, but the golden rule law Is simple
and stands the eternal test. Then since
the Bible law Is higher and more en
during, the fact that we can and must
understand It gives us an opportunity
not only to keep the state law, but by
living that higher life we will help
Improve the law ot our city and state.
The smallest child can be taught the
words and force of the golden rule. We
must teach It by good deeds and proper
living In the home first, in the church,
in the schools and community. By nil
means teach the boys and girls by our
examples first, and words afterwards
not to steal,-not commit vicious crimes.
Have family prayers and family talks.
Teach, morning and evening. So many
people wait until the Sabbath to teach
the young. Then we teach more creed
than the Christ life. It Is of more
weight to emphasize the Savior's good
upright life than puzzle children's
brains concerning his divine origin. Let
us teach what the Savior would havo
us do, rather than teach what we
would have children 'believe. In short,
buy Bibles for the home Instead of bot
tles for dive riots. Read the Bible and
let the boys and girls know what It
means for them to live by It. Keep
children at home and off the streets.
Teach the boys that If they violate the
law they will be punished in this and
the other world. Teach them what a
disgrace It Is to wear stripes and to be
In the mayor's court on Monday. If
we teach tho principles of the golden
rule our children will not only be of
service In keeping the law, but of great
service In'Improving the law. Dives
will end as sure as the coming ot
death. Criminal assault and mob
bing will be matters of the
dreadful past and the people
will need have no fear about
harmony and prosperity. These things
preached and practiced by the Bible
standard life will settle all problems
In this great republic. Then bayonets,
standing armies and general Imple
ments ot war, which are the boast of
nations, must give place to universal
peace.
REV. H. K. PENDLETON.
Pastor First Christian Church.
Obedience Is the foundation of all
virtue. No man can safely follow his
fickle moods, he must lash himself
with cords of obedience to the princi
ples and purposes that he chooses In
the day ot calm and deliberate Judg
ment In order that he may not be
driven from them when the storm of
temptation comes.
Obedience Is the supreme test of loy
alty. When Abraham obeyed the com
mand of God to taka Isaac, the supremo
object of his {ove, Into the land of
Moriah and olter him as a burnt of
fering, he manifested a spirit of loyalty
worthy of the highest type of humanity
enlisted In the greatest cause that ever
claimed the allegiance of men.
No man can cnll himself n patriot
who does not obey his country’s laws.
The law of our land embodies the wis
dom of all of the greatest minds that
have ever considered the question of
governmsnt, tested by many centuries
of experience.
The man who thinks that In a mo
ment, In the heat of passion, w'lthout
time for consideration or coolness to
clear his vision, he can devise some
thing better than the wisdom and ex
perience of all ages that are past must

knows that his own Judgment must he
Inferior to the combined judgment of

ious In every respect, there would be
no need of any courts, Judges, Juries,
lawyers, police. Jails and penitentia
ries. The whole machinery of civil
government would.be unnecessary, for
all rational creatures would live In
perfect harmony with God and with all
other rational beings. But the evil that
Is In us all makes law an absolute
necessity. All acts contrary to law are
the works of the devil unless the law
itself Is wrong. The devil was the first
anarchist of whom we have any knowl
edge, and every lawbreaker Is a fol
lower of the devil.
If we want a foretaste of hell, all
that is necessary Is to allow mobs to
gather and wreak tholr vengeance on
whomsoever they will, never using the
approved and established means and
methods for the punishment of crimi
nals, but Just following their own wild
passions. Just now we are having
sueh a specimen of what hell Is by the
outbreaks of mob violence. The re
cent riot In Atlanta Is a case In point.
Human lives and property were de
stroyed by a crowd of lawless men and
boys who roved through the city, de
fying.law and order and tiuntpllng on
the sacred right of every human being
to a fair trial before he Is deprived of
life, liberty or any other right.
Unless we can return to normal con
ditions and restore the supremacy of
law and order, our civilization 1s doom
ed and the whole fabric of society will
go to pieces.

Rom. 13:8-19. 8t. Paul and Drum
mond say that love Is the greatest
thing In the world. It Is that which
.moved the great heart of God to give
His Son for the redemption of man
and It was that which enabled His
Son, after coming ilto the world, to
gather His church about Him and It
was that * which enabled His church,
after He ascenddd, to embody the prin
ciples that moved Him to redeem the
world. It was His love, that commend,
ed Him to men. It was by His love
that He drew men to Him. If His
people today everywhere would only
show their love to all men ot every
condition, the world of mankind that
Is now rushing awsy from Ood and
His Christ would turn back like the
man possessed with devils, "clothed
and In their right mind.” I believe
that If we would Just love mankind
with that love that Christ loved His
own, our problem and our racial dif
ficulties would cease to be any longer
problems. Love conquers all things In
the lower animals as well a* In man.
If a man kicks his dog and his dog still
In the end, prevent any one else from
abusing him. Persistent Godly love
will produce the same effect with man
and man, white and black. With this
great principle of love dominating the
whole life, there can be no violation
of law, civil or criminal. Who could
steal from him he loves? Who could
He tA him he loves?
Whnt one of you here today, who
loves God, could criminally wrong any
one whom He loves? If we would Just
let love have its perfect work alt feel
ing of mistrust and lack of confidence
would be removed and, with one strong,
united effort, the law would be sus
tained and upheld. Hatred, envy and
revenge do not gflst In God and It Is
not His will that Any such thing should
exist In man. Man falls from his high
citadel when he allows these elements,
which are characteristic of the devil,
to capture and control him. Hate Is
born of the devil and It Is an Inevita
ble enemy of law and order. Those
who carry hate tn their bosom carry
the germs of destruction and eternal
woe, but they that love ctrry with
them the power that produces right
eousness, peace and happiness. Against
s Is no law. Who
_ou follow that which
ere ban come no affliction,
no disorder, no clash of races where
we, In love, regard another's rights and
privileges. Trouble comes where men
are not willing to honor and uphold the
law.
I was In London In 1905, attending
the World's Baptist Congress. I had
been there many times before, but
had never noticed how things moved
along the thoroughfares with so much
ease, until one day I stopped at the
Junction where five or six boulevards
meet and wheie the greatest congested
streets terminate. Then I understood
It, for I lifted my eyes a little and
saw a sign board In the midst of the
streets where thousands of omnibuses,
hacks, trains and people all moving,
as It Appeared In one great congested
mass without the slightest friction,
moving In accord with one common
law set forth in eight little words,
"Keep to the right, keep to the left.”
Here I found the secret of how these
people got along In the crowded streets
without making collision with one an
other. We can have the same result
In this city and In this state If we will
keep to the right and keep to the left.
Every man with regard to another's
rights keeping himself to his own
sphere of life, without robbing his fel
lowman of what Is glorious and pre'
clous to him.

REV. JOHN E. BRIGGS,
Pastor Capitol Avonuo Baptist Church,
Eel. 3:16. I. The Reign of Lawless
ness.—While our government
splendid and our Ian's so just, sad to
say, violations of law are becoming
Increasingly prevalent. Our popula
tion Is Increasing by leaps and bounds,
but our court records show that crime
among all classes Is Increasing far fast,
er than our population. During the
last twenty years there have been
132,000 murders and homicides In the
United States. More Americans have
died by each other's hands In these
twenty years than the number of Rus
sians and Japanese killed In the cam
paign of Mukilen. Our annual crop
of homicides has Increased from 1,809
In 1885 to 8,482 In 1904.
There Is also an Increase of brutali
ty through mob violence. The fiendish
passion which fired the heart of the
mobs at Springfield, Ohio, and the re
cent race riot In our own fair city
show to what depths of degradation
many of our citlens have fallen.
II. The Reason.—The saloon Is an In
cubator of every form of vice. In com
munities where the saloon has been
abolished crime has decreased over
100 per cent. Bad liquor, burnings,
lynching. and mobs always go together.
Delays and miscarriages In the admin
istration of our criminal laws are also
fruitful sources of lawlessness. This Is
aptly Illustrated by the cases of Greene
and Gaynor, at Savannah, and the
Rawlins for the murder of the Carter
children. Lack of parental control and
our faulty educational system are. In
pari, to blame for lawlessness. It Is
difficult to secure obedience In an
adult who has never obeyed bis parents
In the home. Our education Is too
theoretical. The Romans required
every child to memorize the Twelve
Tables, while the Greeks would repeat
their laws at their religious feasts.
III. The Remedy.—To abolish the sa
loons. to reform the administration of
the criminal law so that prompt pun
ishment will be meted out to all crim
inals, to re-establish respect for au
thority In our homes and to make our
education more practical, will go a long
way toward bringing about that defer
ence to the laws of Ood and man
