ment* to tha hundred and more mao
Who gathered In the Majeatic Theatre
yesterday, for tha noon-day services
held under the auaplcea of 8L John'*
Chapter of the Brotherhood of Bt. An
drew.
"One reason" he explained, "why tha
Ten Commandment* do not lmpre** the
people more, 1* not beoauae they are
Sot good, hut because of the mode in
which they are usually Interpreted. The
underlying principle is love and duty
toward* Sod and love and duty to
ward* one'* neighbor,
"The man who doesn't keep tha Ten
Commandment* will hot keep any,
Whether they be those of Confucius,
Plat* or any other philosopher.
“The Ton Commandment* have other
reason* for existence than that It la
God's will and pleasure. Many object
to keeping them, much a* school boys
object to keeping the rule* of tha
teacher. They bollevo'^that, being a
bigger man, no will bo able to lick
them Into observing hie ideas of con
duct But there Is no reason for fear.
And anyone who la told to observe the
Ten Commandments or else bo pun
ished. and so converted to Christianity,
is either a moral coward or a hypo
crite.
"The question of getting man to keep
the commandments Is uf.at of setting
him to see the great principles back
of them and sll'c'onduct. There la only
one penalty mentioned In ail the com
mandments and that Is the , one re
garding idolatry. Cod will not allow
anything to be pul In' his place. On
the other hand, there are two definite
promise* In that regarding reverence
and that on obedience and honor to
one’s parents.
"Christ In maklpg His oonfmandment
did net abrogate the Ten Command
ments but compressed them into duty
and lowe towards God and duty and
lore towards one’s neighbor. The real
reason for requesting the obedience Is
not for reward or through fear of pun
ishment but for love. Those who labor
under the Impression th'at the oom
mandment* are arbitrary and come
from an autocratic power, ate wrong.
There Is nothing more true than the
saying that .‘Jllght Is right because It
is right.’ ”
Bishop Nslaon will deliver another
address at noon today In the Majestic
Theatre.

CIGARETTES AND WHISKEY
LAWS TO BE ENFORCED
Huntsville. March 2.—(Special.)—
The Madison county grand jury has
begun Its semi-annual grind with in
structions to investigate violations of
the. cigarette and prohibition laws.
Judge Tancred Bette's charge to the
grand lury was a lecture on the evils
of cigarette smoking and a warning to
bootleggers of liquor.
It Is a violation of Alabama law to
give tobacco, cigarette! or cigarette
papers to a minor and Judge Betta
asked the Jury to try to run down
some of the hundreds of persons who
are believed to be guilty of such in
fractions.
As to prohibition he said It Is a
condition and not a theory that con
fronts us.
"We have the law," he said, “and It
makes no difference whether or not we
are local optlonlsts or prohibition
ists, it Is our duty to give it a full,
fair test, and this can only be done oy
vigilant and rigid enforcement of It.
“This law Is the result of the hon
est efforts of what mfght bo called the
cream of the best sentiment In the
State. It was a step. In the interest
of good morals and Is entitled to full
faith and credit and If It Is ever re
pealed It will not be done by those
proprets of evil who are seeking to
make it a failure, but by those who
are now Its friends and well wishers,
but who will have become convinced
that it has not accomplished what
they had hoped forlt.”
Judge Betts gave a warning to pros
pective violators, saying that a hard
labor sentence awaits every convic
tion In his court and that these did
not mean that a few' negroes would
reach the coal mines and white men
escape, that he does not wish to get
anybody In trouble, but to keep them
out of trouble by serlng this warning.
He urged the grand Jury to make a
thorough Investigation of alleged vio
