Remington Typewriter Co. 118 Peachtree Street., Atlanta, "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. Tht Star. 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. The villain of a play Is never popu lar and the villain this week at the star has succeeded in gaining the dis tinct III will of the audiences.

(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 ndeed be a fool and the man who knows that his own Judgment must he Inferior to the combined judgment of all the great men through all the years, who have had a part In making our laws and yet through passion and self ishness deliberately tramples the law under his feet.

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. Pat^oi REV. E. R. CARTER. Frisndship Baptist Church, Colored. 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. \GRAND Friday, December 14, Atlanta Lecture Association Presents Maud Ballington Booth.

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 6ALDWIN-MELVILLE STOCK CO.
