He escaped from jail some years ago, leadmg several other pris oners. V Insurance Commissioner Young rules that no life insurance company doing business in North Carolina shall issue any special pr board contracts or sell any stock in connection with its pol icies.

MM msMWlX "rf 7T- T7)m Mfcw child in Oranxn r.mmh m r 'A SERMON Kf Tfe REV?- iNDERSPI Subject: Murder. Brooklyn, N. Y. Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church on the above theme, the pastor, Rev. Ira Wemmell Hendrson, took as his text: Exodus 20:13, "Thou shalt not kill." He said: The extent and force, of the admon ition to recognize the inalienable right of all men to life is not widely recognized in our day, in view of the professed love of our forefathers and us for God and the Christ. With no circumlocution and no wavering of the voice,- Moses speaks out for God a principle that the modern world, ag the nations of all ages have done, disregards. To be sure the civiliza tion of to-day is better in general than the manner of life thousands of years ago. We do not kill our neigh bors out in the open to gain our food. The settlement of private wrongs by "wild justice" is, in this country at least, limited largely , to the mountain whites. No man of enlightenment grants the right of a ruler anywhere to stamp out a hu man life arbitrarily as of old. Phys ical disability in a babe to-day merits more our sympathy than slaughter. Gradually we are coming to recog nize the rights and privileges of the children who are yet unborn. - Ven dettas are unpopular, and the mere threat to kill is, very properly, suffi cient to put a man under bonds to keep the peace. Nowhere is the murderer safe from the clutches of outraged law. Does he slay his vic tim here, then whither shall he flee? The minions who upholds the law in Mohammedan Turkey will hound him to the earth to return him to the scene of his fortal sin in the borders of Christian America. Here and there a few far-seeing souls declare that even the State has no business to ex act an eye for an eye,, a life for a life, and they say that society, has no more right to cut short a human career , than has that unit of society the individual. Yes, the recognition by the world of the wisdom of this commandment is greater to-day than ever before, but it is not yet what it should be. To kill a man is to deprive him of life. But the process may be varied and the length of time consumed in stifling the light of life may be greater or less, according to the means employed. "Thou shalt not kill," says the commandment, and instinctively we picture the quarrel, the hot fight, the hand quick to slay. "Thou shalt not kill," and we see the gun, the axe, the poison, the bludgeon. "Thou shalt not kill," and the vision of a sharp, keen con flict, man to man, or of the silent, sudden blow flashes imto the mind's view. Yes, each photograph is true to some scene in life. To these the law refers! ' But is this all? Is it always the axe or the poison or the gun that fells a soul into eternity? Must the murderer be the man with the instrument of immediate death? Are the murders which are the re sult of overt crime the only killings that take place? I think not. Slow work is not so fast, but it is just as sure. The breaking of a human heart by ill-treatment, either in word or act, is murder, though the papers never hear of it. - Constant abuse may end a life, though the body show never a scar. The man who hounds his family to an early grave with physical abuse , is . a murderer. The smooth and careless youth who breaks his mother's heart is no less guilty than the man who brains me with a maul The scurrilous and unscrupulous writers who hold honest men up to obliquy and shatter sensitive souls till the hand of death draws them out into the other life,, are guilty of a mortal crime. The man who grinds the men who labor till they welcome death with joy is soiled with blood. The company of respectable and mon eyed men who use their reputable names to float financial schemes and then ruin those who, trusting them, have put their all into their- keeping, are guilty of robbery least ir all. The record of the starved the brok- en-hearted, the insane, the suicides, is but the corollary of their greed. H. . ----- w m m a a a The. man who sells his neighbor poison, be that poison arsenic or whisky, is accessory before the fact to a suicide. The employment of children in factory and mining work before their time is almost murder in the first degree. My friends, anything that tends to destroy cr prematurely to curtail human life is a means to murder, and the men who set into motion the forces of unrighteousness that deal and hasten death are criminals in the sight of God, though the law may never touch them. Far be it from me to say that many of the men who commit these indirect murders Tiave any "real intention to cause misery or to commit crime. But the truth is that they are none the' less cul pable". The one thing that is heeded is a clear-cut vision of the meaning of the commandment which frames our text. The need is for sharp and unmistakeable definition of what it is to kill. The eyes of men must be opened to their personal responsibil ity for the outcome of their acts. A new realization of the fullness of the command of Christ must infill every human heart. - Moral laziness must give the way to moral clarity of vis ion. Spiritual indifference must yield the road to spiritual insight. ;The Christ must come into all men's hearts, not in small measure, but with a fullness that shall leave "no room for unrighteousness." We must train our minds to thoughtf ulness for others, and not to satisfaction of self. The m&aey in our purses ought to burn our very souls if we see upon it any tinge of blood. The health and happiness of the man who toils, and bends a weary back that we may live in luxury, must be our care. The amelioration and betterment of the life of all the world should be our constant aim. As Christian individ uals we should guard the life of every human soul. As the right of the individual to slay Els brother is denied by the commandment, so also implicitly the right of society to take human life is questioned. The murderer is an enemy to society, and for. the best welfare of the many it is wisest to keep him under guard. But the prin ciple of the . lex talionis, the life ex acted for the life destroyed, is un christian, and in the light of the teachings of Jesus is unwarranted. The State lowers itself and commits seal sin when it wreaks the. penalty of death upon the modern Cain. Ven geance is the business of the Lord, if indeed there be any such thing. The State has nothing to gain by the sending of any soul to his last rest. The criminal has the right to a death not of the State's making. The prin ciple of capital punishment is as vic ious at bottom as is private murder by the individual, and is unwhole some in that it disregards the very law of inalienable right to life that It essays to protect. "Thou shalt not kill," says the State, "for if you do, and we can prove the case, against you, we will slay you." - The incon sistency of the situation should ap peal to everyone, but queerly enough the very disciples of that Christ wjio said, "Father, forgive," are among the loudest clamorers for the life of the murderer. But the. greatest "example of the violation of this commandment is to be found in the actions of the Chris tian nations of to-day. Theoretically Christian, we arei as segregated peo ples, largely pagan. Praising God as individuals and despising, most of us, in our private lives un-Christian conduct and un-Christlike acts, we stand ready as members of a great social bodv to sustain and to serve measures that are wholly corrupt and corruDtins. Professing - a love for peacef ulness and for the Prince of Peace, we pay without a grumble our military tithes. Indeed, we may often see the spectacle of two mighty peo ples, each paying homage to the same God, clutching each at the other's throat, the meanwhile each is asking God to give the enemy defeat. All too often we may see the armies and the navies of a wealthy Christian nation full of power, menacing a weaker sister to collect a money debt. The nations of this day descend to the decision by fisticuffs which all worthy men deny to be manly, or to be of value to decide an issue. Tho situation would be ludicrous were it not so lamentable. Christian men and Christian na tions have no communion with dis loyalty to-the Father. The individ ual, the church, the peoples have no call to kill. God gave' us brains with which to settle our difficulties, in sober thoughtf ulness. He. gave us J our hands to help ourselves, not to W. & J).. a a a ewi DEPOSITS FROM harm, each other. The more money you may possess, the more must you care for the men below and about you. Financiering that makes its chief profits through the exploitation of the man with small means, or through the financial wrecking of the moneyed man, has no place in a Christian economy, for its fruit is all too often death. Many are the vic tims of unscrupulous Napoleons of finance. The easier you make the task of the toiler in your shop, or mine, or mill, or field, the more do you serve your God. The oftener we settle disputes between individuals or among nations, by the courts of arbitration, the more do we glorify our Lord and manifest our manhood. Immense armaments merely prove national weakness of will and lack of mental poise. Wars often bring victory to those who are In the right, and they should. But no war has ever proven the validity of the case of any victor no matter how well founded the argument of that win ning party may have been. The crushing of little children at men's tasks is a short-sighted policy to score it very little. The system which wrecks and destroys the youth of a land, prepares a heritage of wrecked humanity for the worriment of future generations. Gain at, any price is a poor business proposition, and is morally unjustifiable. My friends, the need of the nour in this matter is for an honest recog nition, by individuals and nations, of the force which the words oi Jesus Christ add to the command ' thou shalt not kill." We need a quiclc- ened conscience that shall always counsel for the right. We need a holy manhood that shall insist that no form of murder, De it Drutai or refined, shall soil the private or the public record. The call is for Christ men who dare to do good and to be upright, no matter how much the dividends may suffer, no matter how much humanity may remain unap preciative of kindness, charity and love. The call is for men of high and men of low estate who shall ever rec ognize that war is hell, and that God is honored, not by the smoke and din of battle, but by the exercise of hu man self-control. Let us, then, be men, and be sure to keep our hands from blood-guiltiness. Let not the death of our broth ers be upon us. Let us live and let live. Let us serve and save. Let us not destroy. . ; The Gates of Pearl. in his sermon. "On the Twelve Gates." Rev., J. Wilbur Chapman says, "I am sure that there is some meaning in the' fact that the gates are of nearl. Do you know the his tory of pearls? Humanly speaking, it is the history of suffering. When discovered it is at the risk of the pearl fisher's life. It is said that nearls are formed by the intrusion ef some foreign substance between the mantle of the mollusic ana its snen. This is a source of irritation, suner insr and nain. and a substance is thrown around about that which is intruded to nrevent suffering, ana thus pearls are formed." The Preacher Needs Help. -As long as the winning of suls is p.nnsidered to be the work of one man, he and the believers to whom he ministers must suffer loss. They are kept from the spiritual exercise and activity which is essential to a healthy life. He is robbed of the support which their witness and their prayers could give. Anarew Murray.

StOO UP TAKEN. NORTH STATE NEWS Items of Interest Gleaned From Various Sections FROM MOUNTAIN TO SEASHORE Minor Occurrences of the Week of Interest to Tax Heels Told in Para graphs. Our -State at "Jamestown. Raleigh, Special. .' Commissioner General Pogue, of the North Carolina J amestown Exposition Commission, was here last week. He says that he finds that it requires contant atten tion to keep things on the move. The management of the transportation de-. partment has been simply chaotic and he spoke of one car of show cases for North Carolina which have been load and unloaded seven times. ! Then, too, the official decorators and carpenters have been outrageously behind with their part of the work. He says that if the freights had been delivered within ten days after arrival at the grounds and if the decorators and in halation had been completed by the contract, time, practically all of the ' North Carolina exhibits would have been ready on the opening day. No less than 180 of the North Carolina cotton mills make exhibits and have shown a verjr great degree of inter est in having their, department com prehensive and it will illustrate all the kinds of textile work done in the State, some of which will be a sur prise to North Carolinas and to the general public. The furniture men will have two exhibits and will show splendidly what the State is doing in this line, notably in the manufacture of artistic furniture which will con vince people that they need not send to Grand Rapids or anywhere out of the State to get beautiful designs and excellent workmanship. The North Carolina building at the Jamestown Exposition is to be turned over by the contractor May 25th. It is. not known whether there will be any ceremonies of dedication or hot. The building- complete and furnished will cost something like $20,000. Three rooms have been furnished a a pivab (romrrbution--a parlor, ;u reception room and living room. rs. George Vanderbilt furnished the re ceptioa room throughout all the ar ticles in it being the products of the Industrial School, at Biltmore. She has at her own expense had this room paneled in oak. She takes a great deal of interest in the whole affair and no room in any of the State buildings will be more attractive than this one. One of the best known furniture man ufacturers in the State furnishes an other room and it is hoped that other manufacturers will follow their ex ample and furnish other rooms, as it gives public spirit and at the same time llustrate in. the handsomest fash ion what is being done in the State. The North Carolina building will be in charge of some specially' appointed persons or person all the time and during North Carolina week, August 12th to 17th, Governor and Mrs. Glenn will be in entire control of it, as the commission will for that week' turn the building over to them. It is ex-' pected that on Thursday of that week, there will be a general reception on a very large scale, as that will be "North Carolina Day." . A Large Bequest for Guilford College High Point, N, C, Special. Mr. J. E. Cox, one of the trustees of Guil ford College, has received the encour aging news from Chicago that large bequest has been left to said college from the Fowle B. Hill estate. Mr. Hill was related to James J. Hill," the railway magnate, and has relatives in North Carolina. : '
