A PETITION TO
THE PRESIDENT.
To His Excellency, Theodore Roosevelt President of the United States:
Word has come out of Russia that the Christmas Festival is to bi
■ signalized at Kishineff by another such massacre of the Jews as excitet
the horror of the world during Raster 1903.
Your excellency is the head of the most enlighted nation in the civil
ized world and ou behalf of one million of our brethren who have fount
refuge in your country, we address this petition, to prevent what i
worse than any war—the torturing and slaying of men and womei
through race hatred and religious prejudice. We feel confident tlial
your voice in this cause of humanity will not go unheeded.
We have reliable information that the same unfounded accusations a;
preceded the hideous Kishineff massacre are again being published
there—that the same violent and incendiary attacks are being circulatec
representing Jews slaying Christian children as a sacrifice for a religi
1 ous ceremony. It is unnecessary to state to an intelligent mind that
human sacrifice is as foreign to the religious observance of the Jews a:
it Is foreign to any civilized Church or creed, but the Easter massacre:
are evident that such monstrous accusations are received and accepted
by the ignorant, among whom the Jews of Kishineff are compelled tc
live.
The Russian officials have not prevented this inciting to riot, and the
public press recounts that the Jews of Kishineff have been notified that
in the event of the attacks they must not defend themselves, on pain oi
having the Czar’s soldiers set upon them.
In such an emergency, we implore your Excellency to direct the at
tention of the Russian Government to the threatened massacre, that
countless human lives may be saved and desolation averted. The
friendly relation now existing between Russia and the United States
and the human cause in which your action is solicited, assure us that
your words will have great weight.

J The congregation of Simpson M. E.

were given a great treat last night.
Special music bv the choir, under the
direction of .1. H. Graham, was rend
ered. The children of the Sunday
School, who have been practicing
their parts for the last few weeks, re
cited and sang ana the program was

Mr. It letcher, who is tne assistant
superintendent, .Tames Noe being ill.
After the entertainment, last night,
Rev. S. Trevena Jackson made a short
address in which he welcomed all the
congregation and their friends
The church was decorated with
Christmas greens and holly and this
gave it a very pretty appearance. So
many people were present last night,
that the aisles were filled with chairs
and even then there was not enough
room to seat all. As the people left
the church for their homes, the ushers
gave them a card bearing a New
Year’s greeting from the pastor.
Grace Lutheran Church Gave In
teresting Pregram—Subject
of Sermon was “Promise
and Fulfillment' .Large

The special Christmas service at the
Grace Lutheran church was held last
night. The program, as published in
the Evening News, Saturday, was
carried out with entire satisfaction to
all. A pleasing feature of the service
was the presentation of a purge to
Edgar Keuling, the organist of the
church.
The Christmas music and selections
by the children were greatly enjoyed
ae were also the parte taKen by the
primary department.
Until their new church is built the
congregation is holding services in K.
of P. Hall. Last night that place was
crowded. Before the service began it
was evident the seating capacity was
insufficient and about 100 additional
chairs were borrowed from Messrs.
West and Ford.
The service was entitled, "Promise
and Fulfillment” and the recitations,
songs and exercises were on this topic.
