Ashby Jones Discusses Question of Holiday in the Public Schools Good Friday At the request of The Herald, Dr. Jones wrote but the synopsis of his sermon, delivered last night, which !s given below. This does not profess to give the sermon in full, but is a fair expression of his line of reason ing. He took as his text suggestive of his theme, Rom. 14:5, "One man estcemeth one day above another; an- G 1 her tsleemeth every day alike. Ret eacu man be fully assured in his own mind.” "Religious questions become real and vital only when they come to be ap plied to some practical question of ev eryday experience. It would be diffi cult to find a citizen who would not give a ready and hearty assent to the great doctrine of complete separation of church and state, so long as that doctrine remained simply an abstract and academic question. But when this leaching runs counter to some pur pose or plan which is sacred to his heart, then he finds it difficult to con cede its application. Recently our school board decided to vary their cus tom anc. not to give holiday on Good Friday. Some of the loveliest and best people among our citizens ob jected to their action. Their protest was made on the ground that we cele brated the memories of Washington and Let and Davis, and yet refused to celebrate the memory of Jesus Christ. These good people failed to see a most significant difference. In cele brating the memory of our patriots it is the universal custom to mark their birthdays, fn the case of Good Friday we lay the emphasis upon the DEATH of Jesus. Why is this done? It is because his death has a distinct religious significance to the Christian church. For this reason Good Friday is a church holiday. So the request was that the public schools should celebrate a church holiday. If these schools were private schools no one would have a right to question their action. But they are state schools. Whatever these schools do officially the state does. Here, then, is the real issue. Shall the state recogtjlze any particular form of religion, either by celebrating its religious holidays or otherwise? It is well for us from time tq. time to examine the real function of our government. According to the Amer ican idea of a democracy the state is the organized expression of the will of the people. The government must have no will of its own separate from that of.the people. That will is ex pressed, first, in its constitution, then through the representatives of the people, in statute Jaws. The state must not either by teaching or coer cion attempt to create a will other than that expressed by the suffrage of the people. A bayonet at the bal lot box is tyranny, and an official using his office to advance his indi vidual will is a usurper of the liber ties of the people. The government must first ascertain the will of the people, then it must enforce it. In the enforcement and execution of that will it may use the strong arm of its police power. Now the government has the right to impose its will jm the will of the individual, because its will is the will of the majority of the peo ple. It was just here that our fathers saw the supreme danger of a democ racy, viz, the possibility of the ty ranny of the majority over the minor ity. In writing their constitution they carefully, guarded certain inalienable rigjjjs of the individual against the possible injustice of the majority. ■Ant«*ig these rights they selected that sacred right, the freedom of the rajgious conscience. Our Amer Scan idea ;is that each man shall be left free to express his religious convic tions according to his own conscience, so long as that expression does not interfere with the rights of others. That the government shall In no way coerce him in religious matters. There fore the government must not estab lish—that is, set up—any form of re ligion. In a word, that questions of religion shall never be made political questions. We may well Vpause here and thank God for this divine wisdom expressed in the foresight of our fath ers. There is no more priceless heri tage which they have left to us, and it behooves us to guard it at any cost. Nowhere do men differ so widely as in matters of religious conviction, and concerning no other question are men so sensitive, so passionate, so death less in their loyalties, as in their re ligious creeds. To allow these ques tions to become the subject Qt po litical contention and political schemes would be to let loose the fiercest forces known to human nature, and leave the most sacred sentiments of mankind to the mercy of political majorities. After five years' residence in this beautiful city, during which I have striven as impartially as I could to observe and serve the best interests of a community which I have learned to love with all my heart, I have come deliberately to this conclusion; that nothing has soretarded the progress* and prosperity of this city as the In jection of religious questions into our political life. And I here solemnly before God indict that man, or church, or faction, which appeals to religious prejudices forjioliticai purposes, as an enemy and a menace to the peace and liberties of our people. State Supported by Taxation It must be remembered that the state is supported by the taxation and the obedience of ALL its citizens. Should the state in any official way recognize any one form of religion, it thereby forces- every citizen to the ex tent to recognize that religion, even though It may violate the sacred con viction of his conscience. The Amer ican Idea is that the conscience of a Mahommedan Is as sacred as the con science of a Christian. To that I fnost heartily subscribe, first as a citizen of this republic, but even more heart ily as a disciple of Jesus Christ. dk Now, let us apply this principle n! the issue of making Good Friday a legal school holiday. It is hardly open to dlßcussion that this dsy finds Its only significance In its religious mean ing. Homo of our Christlun churches mark it as the day on which the Bon of God died for the redemption of men. Now the school board and fac ulty are officers of the state of Geor gia, paid out of the taxation or all the people. For them to make this day a holiday means that the state of Georgia to that extent distinctly rec i gntzes this creed of religion. Khquld the state of Georgia make the birth day of Mrs. Eddy, Mahomet or Rob ert lngersoli a legal holiday, there would sweep across this state a wave of Indignation which would bury for ov< r those who w ere responsible. Does might make right? Is it American— if> It Christian, to allow the weight of the majority to oppress the conscience , of the minority? Sunday Is not a religious holiday. Read carefully your Statute, and you will find that It Is a civil holiday, Should the school board I dedlde that It was best to have a spring holiday, giving the scholars a breathing spell before their final ex aminations, and should find it a con venient time to include in that holiday Good Friday and Easter, there could be no possible objection. But if my protest in the name of our American idea is earnest, my pro test in the name of the Christian re ligion is yet more emphatic. The re ligion of Jesus can never be forced on anyone. All the governments of the world, backed by all their armies, could not coerce a little child into the kingdom of heaven. Christianity is essentially an invitation, persuasive and loving. Its acceptance must bo voluntary. It has been claimed that this is a Christian nation. Here we must carefully distinguish. Legally and officially It Is not Christian, and has been so declared by our supreme court. In the spirit and loyalty of our individual citizens to the life and teaching of Christ, we believe that It is Christian. But we can only be •hristian in so far as we do express the spirit and the teaching of the Christ. Perhaps the most character istic utterance of Jesus was "Do unto others as you would have them Jo unto you.” It must be remembered that it would be an impossibility to forward the religion of Jesus by vio lating one of His fundamental teneh ings, and manifesting that which would be abhorrent to His spirit. Alarm of the Timid. There is going up today the sensa tional alarm of (he timid, that we are mrfking an infidel people because wo are not allowed to teach religion in our schools. In the name of Christ I deny that this is true. If it were true, it would be a definite acknow'- edgoment that the method of Jesus for the propoagation of his religion has been a failure. He distinctly and deliberately turned his back upon the state, and delivered the task of the evangelization of a world into the keeping of his own appointed church. Whenever the church has shirked this responsibility and aligned Itself with the strong arm of the government, it has poisoned the purity of the state and debauched religion. Has the ef fectiveness of the Gospel of the church become impotent? Has the effective ness of our Sunday schools failed? Have the myriad missions and meth ods of our ahurch evangelization ceased to reach the people? Have we lost our faith? that if He be lifted up He will draw all men unto himself? Are we reduced to the pitiable exhi bition of appealing to the strong arm of the government to do that which the church of the living God has been unable to do? I for one am not ready to surrender to any such conception. To me the future is as bright as the promises of (iod. And out of a faith in his spir itual power, I pray, “Thy kingdom some and Thy will be done, as in heaven so on earth.” Thos. E. Watson Case To Be Considered By Grand Jury. (Continued from page one.) rt is understood that this is the old case that is being brought up again. This time if a “no bill" is returned, this particular case against. Watson can not be brought up in the United States court again. New charges Tor alleged similar offenses can be mad<\ however. There has probably been no case in the annals of the United States court in this district that has attract ed such wide-spread attention as has the famous Watson case, in which the publisher and author was accused of sending obscene matter through the United States mails, which matter consisted of certain questions which Watson claims are asked by Roman Catholic priests in the confessional. | The alleged obscene matter appeared in The Jeffersonian July, 19>ll, and April and May, 1912. Watson was arrested at his home in Thomson in the fall of 1912, upon complaint of the postal authorities; was brought to Augusta before Depu ty U. S. Clerk W. H. Goodwin, given a preliminary hearing and bound over. On November 12, 1912, he was indict i ed by the grand jury on three sepa rate counts. Following the indictment Mr. Wat son’s case was called before Judge Foster and the indictment qn&shed. (By Associated Press).

WEBB FO FILL CLAYTON’S POST Washington.—Representative Ed win Y.

He asked Represen tative Clayton to defer his resigna tion to become federal judge for Ala bama until the house shall have dis posed of the anti-trust bill, of which Mr. Clayton has had charge, and the latter will stay to pilot the bill through the house. Mr Webb as chairman will direct the judiciary committee's handling of' the impeachment charges pending In the committee against Federal Judge Speer, of Georgia; Dayton, of West Virginia, and Wright, of the District of Columbia, the Hobson proposal for a federal constitutional amendment for nation-wido problblt lou and the woman suffrage question. THE MORNING WITH THE RECORDER Gertrude Hoffman, colored, hao hired a lawyer to defend her on a Charge or beating her husband Sho and the lawyer were both in mortal terror of what the husband mtght say. Without his testimony Gertruda could not be convicted. Ho tj*e law yer objected to his testimony and rul ed him out of the case. Nothing that he could say would count against Gertrude. All right, proceed. But, nevertheless, they distrusted him. A witness, who was afterwards proven to have been three-quarters of a mile distant at the time of trie fight, swore that she. had heard the "licks." She did not go so far as to say she had seen them, however, so Gertrude was still safe. Then came the husband's testi mony. Gertrude and the lawyer waxed nervous. What would he say? The Enemy was on the stand. The audience leaned forward to hear his bloody story. How. no doubt, she had cudgeled and stamped on him, and beaten him with Implements of divers sorts. He was considerably bruised and battered, and had a bad cut on fils head. And this Is w’hat he said: "Judge, you see din place on my hade? Well, day's a Post up dere dat got a long nail In It. I Je’ slipped up an’ fell up a’glnst It, and daH how come I got dls place In my bade. She didn't hit me!” (!)» Isn’t it remarkable how they will stick up for each other? Even Gertrude had to laugh at this. Of course the Judge let her off at once. The only thing that In any way tempered her relief was to think that she had gone to the expense of getting a lawyer. The lawyer felt uncomfortable about It, too, and said, before he left the court: "I declare I Idn’t put that nail In that post, Judge." A young white fellow who has a way of coming up every now and then for fighting, was brought In last night late, having been caught by Officer Dunn In the very act, apparently, of assailing Defendant No. 2. He had taken off his coat even, said the of ficer. He was arrested just In time to prevent trouble. In his statement he declared that they were Just playing. "But you had taken off your coat,” said the Judge. “No. sir, Judge,” Interposed one of the witnesses. "He never did have his coat off I’ll swear he had his coat on the whole time." Hut somehow or other the Witness did not make this remark soon enough to stop Defendant No. I, >ho either did not hear him, or hud start ed talking and could not stop, for he said; ‘‘Judge, 1 declare I hadn't taken off my coat to fight this fellow. [ had been In my shirt sleeves all night.” There was some mistake some where. Lieutenant Hatcher brought In some negroes who were singing anl raising a disturbance last night down on Center Street. "Where were you singing?” asked the Judge The reply was incomprehensible. The Judge repeated what It Hounded like: 'Shovelling Meat Beyond the Hlver,” he said. "No, sir!” Interposed a shocked and pained witness 'Shall We Meet Beyond the River." "Oh,” said the ’Judge. Seeing that the song was so appropriate to the Sabbath, he let th»m off, but hinted that the use of the soft pedal wus ai so appropriate, srid would be com mended In the future.

Foul Odor Rising From an Old Shaft Leads Macon Authori ties to Believe So, Macon, Ga. —What is believed be the body of a human being, prob ably the Victim of a murder, is thought to be at the bottom of an old well about a half mile southeast of High Tower's storo on the Houston Hoad and near a negro settlement known as Anchor Line. Conditions at the well yesterday, however, would not permit oT an Investigation, the terrible odor arising from the well keeping everybody with the exception of one man, from approaching close enough to look down Into the hole. Today It Is expected that a further in vestigation will be made with a view to solving the mystery. Sheriff Hicks was notified yester day afternoon of the circumstances by a man In that vicinity who had no ticed the odor. With Deputies lain and Iceland Williams he went to the scene In an automobile and was greetr od by a stench, the like of which he had never encountered before. Sev eral efforts were made to gel near the well, hut without avail and sev eral of the members of the party lost their dinners In the attempt. One man who had a stronger stomach than the others ventured close enough to look over the edge of the well, but could not see the bottom. An investigation showed that a ve hicle. apparently a hack, drawn by a team of horses, had stopped directly opposite the well and the tracks made by the hack were plainly discernible. In adltton to this, on the ground be side the well was a clot of blood of considerable size and vhe grass and earth around the edge of the well showed where some object had been dragged over the edge of the well an 1 dropped Into the opening. ”1 havo smelled the odor from dead horses, cows, pigs and many other kinds or animals. Including the dead bodies of human beings when In s de cayed state," said Deputy latu Wil liams yesterday. "Tills odor, when 1 first smelled It was slmilur to that which Is in evidence when one Alters a poorly ventilated doom In which a corpse has been kept over night.” The old well lit question Is located In a clump of pine trees and there are two or three other old wells in the same vicinity. The finding of the tracks of the hack and the blood clot on tho ground, together with the pe culiar nature of the odor, has aroused the sheriff’s suspicions sufficiently that he will ask Coroner T. E. Young to investigate to determine whether or not a crime has really been com mitted. Bread is the staff of life. SENSATION FLOUR makes the best. ’Nouqh said.
