I

thoughtful and inspiring sermon on I

I

the pleasures of in and the choice ofMoses In his usual chaste and forceful style he pictured the grandeur of

the Egyptian court in which Moseswas reared and the pleasures pres-

i ent and prospective to which he wasj an heir But seeing the mutable and-

I

I

ephemeral nature of these pleasuresj and the final consequences of a life

of sits choose to be a good man with-I

I

all possible affliction and worldy dis-

advantagej

i that he might gain theeternal recompense-

I Bringing the thought down to thepreent the speaker described the

i pleasures of certain forms of sin andtheir fatal results and appealed tohis hearers to show the part of a manlike Mosts by chooing the life of a

Christian The eitcct was evidentlyirood any the largo conjugationwent away pleased the effort

Tho public will take notice thatth re is now a client change in thehours of worship The morning orvice beginning today will be 1030a m and evening service at 730 p-

that her curiosity led her to in-

vestigate

I the truths of religion timid

an honest investigation rarely fails tobring about a conversion

A BEAUTIFUL PRAYER-

On last Monday Rabbi AbrahamSimon delivered the following beauti-

ful

¬

prayer at the morning session of

the U S Senate-

It strikes us as being an exquisitely I

beautiful productionProfoundly grateful for all Thy

countless blessings and fully con-

scious

¬

of Thy presence here and

wherever Thy name is called upon in-

sincerity we invoke Thy spirit to I

dwell among us at this hour and at I

all times Every spot in our fair I

land has a glory all its own to e nkin le our pride and to prompt ourprayer We feel Thy everlastingarms S support and pray that wemay never cease to deserve Thy pro ¬

tection nor fall below the great mis ¬

sion which Thou has placed in ourhands J

Even the sun ready to run his race I

stand this hour Highest in the heav¬

ens declaring Thy glory so does ourbeloved America enjoy now the highnoon of prosperity and promise Mayshe not lose her queenly zenith norgo to the downward slope to declineGive us therefore 0 God a deeperappreciation of the heroism of peaceand the apostleship of justice withwhich Thou has commissioned usplay we feel that the consciousnessof American sovertngty lies In a

righteous citizenship Let us realizesoultully that honesty is not only thebvst poluy but the only nrineipl1 > ofa selfrespecting nation or individualMay we learn to hear Thy voice notIn the storm of formidable power nor J

in the tire of flnty steel nor in the I

quake of raging creeds but in thestill small voice of equity justice

I

and peaceAnd not only here but every where

may Thy blessings be bountifully bestowed Wherever there is a hand

I

uplifted to heal and to help do ThouI

treble its etlicacy for good whereever there is a t voice crying outagainst injustice and persecution doThou give ear and force to its righteons appeaL-

Bles all the peoples with increasinir wisdom freedom and brotherliness that the day may not be fardistant when all may stand in thehigh noon of tullorbed liberty andrecognize in the great republic of aunited humanity but one citizenship-that of a consecrated manhood andwomanhood under Thee the Fatherand Ruler of all Amen

TrtE RELIGOUS REVIVAL

l There is no earnest thoughtful citi-

zen¬

who will not rejoice at the successwhich has thus far attended the relig-ous revival now carried on under the

I auspice of the churches of this cityI Viewed from any standpoint the re ¬

1 suit of such awakenings cannot fail I

I of contributing to the best welfare ofI the communities where held Asvirtue K always preferable to vice soany form of religion is preferable tono religion Whatever personalviews men may hold in regard to theChristian religion there are none who I

I will dispute the fact that throughoutI

1 its history it has ever stood for and I

I inculcated the precepts of high mor-

ality¬

At no time in no country havethe men or women honestly andreverently submitted themselves toits counsels or with steadfast purposeprofessed faith in Its teachings In anyform without having been made bet-ter for it better parents better hus-

bands¬

and wives better sons anddaughter better friends and neigh-

bors

¬

and better citizensQuite independent then of the

question of what might be termedreligious values as considered fromthe standpoint of the churches such I

a religious awakening as the one nowbeing carried on In this city Is a mat ¬

ter in which the entire communityhas cause for congratulation as con-

THE CONSTITUTIONAL POWERS OFTHE PRESIDENT

Mr Chas A Gardiner aNew Yorklawyer recently delivered an address +

before the Neork State Bar Asso-

ciation¬

in which he holds that thepresident is not a mere agent to exe-cute

¬ tthe will of congress or bailiff to

execute the decrees of eourt but isan independent arm of the govern ¬

ment and can do most anything hepleases-

On his own initiative this mansays he CMI stop peonage in the south t

4Mr Gardiner claims that the presi-

dent¬

is sufficient junto himself anddont have to wait the ction of con ¬

gress to put into operation force billsor other revolutionary acts

If peonage exists in the Souththe president without awaiting ap-

propriate¬

legislation by congresshut en his own initiative can executethe patent and unambiguous provis-ions

¬

of the amendment-If southern states abridge the

privileges or immunities of federal ri

negro citizens the president on hsown initiative can and should prohib-it

¬

such action whether congress leg-islates

¬

on the subject orh notIf southern states deny the right-

of suffrage to federal negro citizens-on the ground of race or color thepresident without waiting for pent lizing statutes can and slum d useevery means civil military or both L

to stop it1This man says that the discretion 1

of the president exclusive ind ab-

solute¬

He can use his big etiek rin anyisort of fashion and in as pro-

miscuous¬ x

a manner as he pleases 1r
