"I speak to Christians especially to

Christians are the peace messengers

died and left representatives, to fulfill
his mission as nearly as possible.
"I have three thoughts in any mina
that I want to present to you. The first
's the relation between the world and

in reconciling this world; and thirdly,

NEGRO KILLS SEVEN;
IS BURNED TO DEATH
Nashville, April 7. Seven are kdead
as the result of the work of Will Rey
nolds, a negro desperado at Tuscumbia,
Ala., yesterday. Sheriff Gassaway
died of his injuries this morning and
his brother is barely alive.. Pat Prout
and Jesse Davis also victims of the
negro's shooting died this afternoon.
Hugh Jones and Robert Wallace were
killed instantly. The people at Tus
cumbia are still gathering in crowds
discussing the results of the. attempt to
capture Reynolds. Simon Simpton, a
negro, angered at the burning of Rey
nolds started out today to "kill a dirty
white man." He ran foul on James
Walker,- a white butcher, who cut him
so badly with a knife that he bled to
death.
fold. It is to believe and to obey. The
fact that God is offended by ourwrdng
actions is good news, for it makes him
on terms with man. A reconciliation is
not a fact until estranged .parties come
together. I will illustrate as follows
a man owes a debt and refuses to pay
A third uninterested party is called and
sees the circumstances and that t
debtor is going to destruction, which
offends the creditor.
"The same with our God.' It is an
essential characteristic of God to op
pose sin, otherwise he would not be
holy. To continue the illustration, th?
third party goes to the creditor and
asks him if he is willing to forgive his
debtor if everything is paid up and for
givenness asked. The third party then
goes to the debtor and says: 'You have
outraged your creditor. If you go and
apologize you will be forgiven.' Possi
bly the debtor does not accept the con
ditions. He then refuses to be recon
siled. This is the work of the ambas
sador. It is possible that the debt be
paid and then no reconciliation be
brought about. Reconciliations are
more than .the commercial things of life.
Ambassafdor means citizenship else
where. Our citizenship is not here but
in heaven. Is your citizenship in life
on high?
"Ambassadors are not sent to war
ring countries. His presence is proof of
friendliness and peace. The presence
of the church is the proclamation of
peace. The ambassador enjoys the pro
tection of the land that sends him
forth. The legations at Washington
bear the flag of their country and this
is a symbol of protection.
"Let the man of God lift up his head
and be the ambassador of God . . : Am
bassadors are in constant-'icommunia-tion
with their home country. We are
mediums of communication between
God and man . The way to get the
spirit of God to man Is to carry it.
Do you pray? What' would an ambas
sador do without communication ; with
his home land? I am not a hero wor

Tuscumbia, Ala., April 7. Five men
are dead, two mortally wounded and
two seriously hurt as a result of a ne
gro's work with a rifle yesterday, while
resisting arrest.
Will Randle, the negro, was burned
to death in his own house, after being
fatally shot.
The dead are: .
Sheriff Charles Gassoway.
Roib Wallace, who was killed and fell
into the fire.
Hugh Jones. ,
P. A. Prout, shot in head.
The wounded are:
William Gassoway, shot through ab
domen; will probably die.
James Payne, shot in chest.
Robert Patterson, shot in the leg.
Robert Finney, shot, in shoulder.
News reached here of the killing of
, a negro at Florence who was taking the
negro deperado's side in the affair.
Sheriff Gassoway and his deputy
worked for three days to apprehend the
negro. During ithis time the negro for
tified himself in a small cabin nearUhe
public square and declared he would
die before he would submit to arrest.
The sheriff went to Randle's cabin at
noon yesterday and . called upon, the. ne
gro to surrender. He refused, shooting
the sheriff with a. Winchester. Rein
forcements were quickly secured, but
the negro stood them off, shooting
down six' more men,, up to nine o'clock
last night. Meanwhile a deputy had in
formed Governor Jelks of the situa
ation and 'the "chief executive ordered
the Wheeler Rifles to come over from
Florence and they arrived about 9
o'clock at night. There was no way to
advance upon the. house without get
ting within range of the negro's deadly
rifle, and an effort was made to fire
the cabin by pouring coal oil in the di
rection of the places. Cotton soaked in
kerosene was used , to ystart the blaze.
Finally a house two doors away was
ignited and in a short, time Randle'3
fortification was ablaze. Randle, forced
a 1 jT
to crawl into xne Dasement oy me in
tense heat, kept up a continual nre
through small holes in the foundation..
As the flames gained volume and forced
him from the basement, the negro leap
ed out through the flames and faced
his pursuers. Before anyone could bring
him down he had fired two shots, both
of which took effect. An instant later
Randle had' fallen, a bullet from one of
the militiamen piercing his head. The
body was riddled with bullets and
thrown into the burning (building.

LAST EVENING'S DAWF
A BRILLIANT SUCCESS
the Battery; Park' dahog last evening
gjten by .the oujig men . of ;yh& eityr,
wiu oe recorded on thevpages of social
history as one of the most thoroughly
enjoyable and successfu events that have
ever taken place in the city.
Messrs. Bostic and Hunt deserve
uca -.y tiifcLUB. irom inose wno were
present,' for their well selected -list of
guests and splendidly managed affair.
The young men who did not exert
themselves in the forepart of the eve
ning to secure partners ahead, were f re
queintly left without, and, somewhat in
reverse of the general rule, they con-.
suiuiea tne "wan nowers" in every in
stance.
ine enthusiasm and energy with
which every guest entered in the even
ing's enjoyment rendered it a congenial
spirited affair.
The costumes of the young ladies were
of exquisite design, and a New- York
modiste who was an onlooker for part
of the evening, expressed herself to the
effect that the gowns were stvlishlv
and becomingly selected in every in
stance. When the mournful strains of "Home
Sweet Home" floated through the ball
room, . every countenance seemed to
change and it was only after several
repetitions by the orchestra that they
were allowed to pack their instruments
and let the merry crowd go o their
homes.
Among those present were- Mr. und
Mrs. Hall, Mrs. J. D. Russell, Mrs.
Brunck, Mrs. Cooper, Mrs. Baylus.Mrs.

The Eloquent Divine Preached
Twice Sunday to Crowds that
Packed the Church.
Bishop Deo Haid preached Sunday,
morning and evening, at St. Law
rence's Catholic church, to crowd
which occupied every bit of available
space. Many were turned away, as
standing room could not be had .
There was special music on both oc
casions, in the morning the mus'.c
program for Easter was repeated, ana
in the evening Mrs. O. C. Hamilton
sang "O God, be Merciful," and "O,
Salutaris."
The subject of the sermon in the
morning was peace and happiness. He
pointed out how true happiness has its
beginning, which is only in keeping the
laws of God. He said that should man
be crowned with every success he could
not find happiness without religion.
At the evening service the bishop
took for his text the words of St. John,
"This the victory which overcometh
the world, our Faith." After some in
troductory remarks on the goodness of
God in aiding us by grace, especially
the sacraments to make sure of our sal
vation, he dwelt upon the sacrament of
confirmation, instituted by Christ to
strengthen faith in toie and patience
He then averted to the difficulty often
found with the Catholic church for in
sisting so rigidly on dogma and doc
trine as defined by it according to the
teaching of Christ. He pointed to the
fact that Christ himself insisted on be
lieving definite, well-defined doctrine as
taught by Him.
He allowed no difference of opinion in
matters taught is clear, definite, un
compromising, laying down unceasing
faith as a prerequisite to salvation. He
founded His church to continue His
teaching is His spirit leaving the
church no choice but to teach clearly
what He had taught. Were the Catho
lic church to broaden her doctrines,
etc., she would be untrue to her calling
and cease to be Christ's church. Christ
was obliged to insist on truth, pure and
simple, because he was God could not
contradict himself by revealing oppo-
sites of truth, etc.
The bishop then pointed to the prac
tical effect of minimizing doctrine.
showing how it ended in not respecting
tne Bipie itself, and he also insisted on
the fact that man's moral life, usually,
is governed by his ibelief, either for
good or evil. He earnestly warned his
audience against two great dangers
coldness and indifference in faith-and
otal loss of faith, and the consequent
evils.
Bishop Haid was to preach again last
evening, but announced Sunday that as
he was unexpectedly obliged to return
to Belmont early this morning, he
would not do so.
