Maie r ’ & Berkele CLEAR NOTE SOUNDED By ATLANTA PASTORS FOR REIGN OF LA W The following excerpts from eermoni delivered by the ministers of Atlanta ara given to the public with the hope that the strong word* spoken will help to cryetallse a hearty and Immovable public opinion against crime and all forma of mob violence. This la one step taken by the mlnla ters In co-operation with tha officers of the Business Men'e Gospel Union, to ward an effort to readjuat the relation, of the races at the South. The Christian League, recently dr ganlxed In thla 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 la naeded strong public santl ment to back up the law upon the fol lowing propositions: 1. That criminal assaults upon worn en constitute the moat villainous crime known to the catalogue of Iniquities and must be puntehed 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 clvlll xatlon or Individual or community life. It violates the law of Ood and tha law of man as well. 3. That all law-abiding white people and law-abiding negroes, as far as may be needed, will aid the proper offleera 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 a, may be within their knowledge and control. 4. That It la the duty of every cltlxen to be absolutely obedient to law and to maintain the peace of tha community ns far as His power and Influence mny go. / 6, That In the adjustment of all dlf. ferences between the racea absolute Justice os to all legal rights shall be secured to each Individual, Irrespective of race or social condition. 8. That the press of the state may be uaed to create. In every possible way. such public sentiment as will maintain obedience to law. That all the people may pron —, positively, against all undue delays by the courts, whether In forma of the law or through petty technicalities that Anally defeat the end of Justice, and demand such .changes In the law aa will make the penalties for violation swift, certain and effective. W. J. NORTHE.N’. REV. W. A. FOUNTAIN. Pastor Allen Temple A. M. E. Church Gal. 6:14. St. Paul would have all rational creatures and Christians know that all tha commandments of the second tnble touching the mutual duties of Ilfs—honesty,- truth, peace, charity and law—are fulfilled In these word*, "Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself." JSod expects the people and especially the rulers In the church and the state to love and obey Him. This Is incum bent upon all men. Irrespective of creed, mtltlral party or color. Grow rfire- 'ess toward hla great Ideal of living and get Intoxicated with prosperity and fall to practice the golden rule and thla country, like Carthage end Rome, will beeome a hlaa and a byword among the nations. We are all on trial before God ahd man. We have grown too careless In our respect for both the moral and civil laws. We arc our brother's keep er and we can only be this by respect ing the moral and the civil codes. “We are member* one of another,” and aa auch- we have relative duties which trow out of our mutual relationship, n order for the Interest of all we must call upon the conservative, peace-lov Ing cltlsens everywhere, Irrespective of color, to acknowledge the great truth of the text that, all the law la fulfilled In one word, even In thla, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor aa thyself." Only by a strict adherence to thla Injunc tion will the majesty of the law be up held. Ood Is us much a God of racea us of Individuals and Hla favor, Ilka His spirit, will not always strive with men. Will America, after her mud baths of crimes, lynching* and discrimina tions, ever rise to the dignity of i Christian nation? Thla question la be- Ing answered right hers In Georgia by the men who compose the recently organised League to readjust the re latlona of the races. The only solution to the perplexing problem Is to be found In practicing tha Injunction of our text. Wa desire It known to the world that, aa 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 nre not to be found. We stand ready to hunt down the criminals In dlvea and other notorious places and land every possi ble assistance to the offleera of the law In ferreting out and bringing to swift and apeedy Justice alt criminals. We emphasise that wa want them brought to Justice, not to blood-thlrety mobs and lynchers, but to Justice. We are earn est In our contention that crime hOa no color and all criminals should be brought to Justice. As our hearts ora right on thla subject, will not our white brethren give ue the assurance that the trenxled mob ahall not tram ple the majesty of the law under their savage feet? "Is thine heart right a* my heart Is with thy heart? If It be give me your hand.” We are all agreed that tha lawless, vicious element among ua le our greatest drawback. Thla element per sists In being the mllleton* about oar neck. They are seen,In dlvea and alums of our cities and on the high ways, railroads and country districts well. That multitudes of our ng people are rushing to dei tlon over the precipice of Intemperance end Immorality are patent facte to the casual observer. We appeal with all tha earnestness our soul to the mothers and fathers begin early to train their children the fear, nurture and admonition of Lord. Only along thla line will law order be supreme In our eommunl- Let ua not become discouraged. Intelligent press and powerful pul- of the South have decided that our like other racea, has two classes —good and bad. 'Ve are secure In the belief that the gospel of the meek and lowly Naxarene Is the only panacea for all the prob lame of life. REV. g.“h7MACK, Pastor of Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Every set of conditions has Its pres, ent duty, as well as Its future con slderatlons. We may not know what will be the outcome of the complex workings of the present: we have our view*, our convictions, our prejudices. Wo will find that the future Is best solved, la only solved, by doing right, eously In the present. Aa 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 nmendment, waiting until the negro reaches a eer- In development—these can form no Bufflcfent reason for doing unjustly now. Any Injustice done by a part of the social body muet react for Injury upon *11. And regarding the negro, the Christian white men must temper his actions with mei'cy. 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 hla dearly- bought freedom aa a self-controlling being, and beoduse of that Intellectual, moral and Industrial freedom he must deal In a generous, Christian way with those who nre not so fortunate. Society Is made up of Individuals. And because these are-many we may not relieve ourselves of responsibility and hide behind the organised forms of law. Each of us is under obligations to help solve a hard question and solve It In our Individual duties. “No man llveth unto himself." Aa cltlxen* who make the laws, as those who employ men, ns members of a domestic circle where we touch those of another race, we each have opr part In the solution of the difficulties. No lawless outbreak can help us. The Anglo-Saxon la lnw- abldlng. If his sense of Justice Is out raged, he will, If acting sanely, remedy the evil In a lawful way. Let ua recall ourselves to fundamentals In a time of tension and fear. REV. Q. W. LUKE, Pastor of McKinley Temple (Colored). Mat. 7:12. This divine Injunction of our blessed Lord Is Intended to be the standard of our conduct at home and the rule of our actions abroad. It la called the. golden rule and presupposes three things: 1. That nil men are expected to love one another. 2. No man Is entitled to better treat, ment from others than he la willing to accord to them, that God takes the will for the deed, making one’s settled de sire the criterion and standard of hla character. Now, then, let the colored men be no more guilty of violating thla divine Injunction. Let them do better by returning to their God, to the churches and holding to (heir lawful marital relations. As for our white friends: We are here together, our Interests are one, our welfare Is one. What Is good for on* la good for the other. What will hurt one will hurt the other. Let us now and henceforth forget the things of the past and, It may be .the prejudices of the present, while we renew that aame 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 churchgoer*.- The other 40,000 are- spending their time on the Rabbath In pool rooms, rambling dent, whisky and beer sa- oons, or riding about on electric cars. From these claaae* come alt the bad negroes that make the law-breaking class. SPECIAL TRAINS DUR ING HOLIDAYS BE TWEEN ATLANTA AND ALBANY VIA CENTRAL OF GEOR GIA RAILWAY.
