SERMONS ON
THE STRIKE
Pastors Pray for Peace and
Quiet Again.
DR. HAWTHORNE'S SERMON
Strong Discussion of "The Obligation
ef All Men to Respect Civil Au?
thority and to Obey Civil
Law,
Severn! pastors had something to ssy
Sunday about tho present troubled con?
dition of Richmond and Henrico county.
A number of them prayed that pe.ico nnd
quiet might come to the city again. Ono
pastor preached on the subject, "Thy
Kingdom Come," nnd concluded by re?
marking that tho kingdom of heaven
was far away from Richmond Just ?it
present, and that the condition of tho
olty at this timo showed 11.o need ot
work for tho kingdom.
DR. HAWTHORNE'S SERMON.
At tho Grove Aventio Baptist Church
a largo congregation heard the Rev. Dr.
J. B. Hawthorne preach on "The Obliga?
tion of All Men to Respect Civil Au?
thority and to Obey Civil Law." Ills
text was G Peter, 2:13: "Submit your?
selves to every ordinance ai man for tho
Lord's sake." He said;
To unsplritual, unregonerato mon, ono
of tho most offensive features of tho
gospel is the law which requires ns to
"submit to every ordinance ot man."
In ' thlR commandment God seems to
identify himself with all human govern?
ment, even to the extent of supporting
what is despotic and wrong. If tho
Btato of Virginia should require me to
pnlnt rny houso rod, or to woar a etrlped
coat, or to subsist solely upon a vegetable
diet, would Christian obligation require
mo ?? obey tho ordinance? After a care?
ful study of tho question I nm prepared
1o say that It would. It the civil au?
thorities of Richmond should roqulro mo
to keep the front door of my residence
open every night, would It ho my Chris?
tian duty to submit to tho order? Verily
it. would. "Submit yourselves to every
ordinance of man."
In teaching us to obey all civil legisla?
tion and authority, God does not mean
that all civil legislation and all exercise
of civil authority Is wlso and Just. Nor
does ho mean to forbid us to make every
reasonable and virtuous effort to abolish
what Is wrong In civil government. Chris?
tianity recognizes the fallibility of all
human authority. Its divine author knew
that, to tho end of the world, thero would
be mistakes and corruptions In civil
governments. Fidelity to him. as well
ns Justice to ourselves and to society,
requires us to protest against wrong
nnd to do our utmost to eradicate every;
'ihlng that is corrupt and unwise, cither
In tho legislation or the administration of
our country's government.
MONUMENTS OF INFAMY.
Every day I seo about me institutions
which, if judged by the ethics of Chris?
tianity, are worthy only of 'the torch
nnd dynamite. They aro monuments of
Infamy; thoy aro gathering places of
bums. Ion fers, dead-boats, toughs and
pick-pockets: they are training schools
for criminals; they aro miniature hells.
But as these institutions have tho sanc?
tion of civil law, Christianity forbids mo
'to lay violent hands upon them, or to dis?
turb them in tho prosecution of their
nefarious business.
While this proposition is Incontroverti?
ble, it Is equally clear that divine law
requires me to uso all moral means at
my command in secure the abolition of
Fuch legalized infamy. Thero are many
bar-rooms in the city of Richmond.
They are the worst enemies to tho purity,
peace and order of Richmond society;
they aro Incubators of lawlessness and
mob violence; they arc breeders ot every
vice and crime. But under tho laws of
tho State they havo the right ?? exist,
and Christianity binds me to respect
that right. To Intimidate the keeper of
one of 'there dens by threatening Injury
to his person or property would ho both
unpatriotic nnd un-Chrlstlan. The civil
laws which permit the existence of those
institutions are unrighteous, unwise and
hurtful to every Interest of Roclety and
Christianity .je-quires me to condemn
them and tp advocare their removal from
our statute' books.. Not to do this would
be Insubordination ?? Christ nnd God's
moral government.
The Constitution of Virginia guaran?
tees 10 every ono of Its subjects the right
of trial by jury. It confers upon the
ofllcers of tho State alone the authority
to punish men for tho commission of
crime. When men In any community
of the State icrnoro this organic law and
ret aside civil authority, they aro not
only unpatriotic but defiant of moral
law. Monocracy, therefore, Is treason,
both to country and God. In any com?
munity where civil government is estab?
lished, there can be no warant for mob
violence in any form, and the men who
resort to It are criminally and disgrace?
fully disobedient both to human and
divine authority.
Tho State of Virginia grants charters
to manufacturing, commercial nnd other
Institutions. It guarantees to those who
Invest, their money In theso Institutions
the right to control their own property and
to regulnte their own business without
any interference from outside parties.
If I and a half dozen other men in this
congregation establish a shoe factory
under a charter from the Commonwealth
of Virginio, wo havo the right to eay
whether we will hnve fifty employes or
five hundred; wo hace tho right to eay
whether we will employ white men or
black men; we have the right to say
whether wn will have In our service men
who drink liquor or only men who are
total abstainers. Knowing better than

outsiders what our profits will be, and
what we can afford to pay, It Is our right
and ours only to determine whether we
will fix tho wages of operatives at two
dollars per dny or throe dollars per day.
CAN LEAVE IF THEY WANT TO.
If at any time tho operatives become
dissatisfied with their wages or with dis?
cipline, It Is their undisputed right to
ceaso their work and leave tho institu?
tion. Under tho laws of tho State the
owners and managers of that factory
bave the right to employ other men to
take the places of those who have loft
them. Any interference with the exor?
cise of this right is illegal, unjust, Im?
moral, unchristian and unpatriotic and
revolutionary. It Is nothing short of
knavery or Insanity for any man to con?
tend that tho Stato Is not solemnly bound
to protect that institution In the control
of its own property and in tho regulation
of Its own business.
The State, in Its organic law, guaran?
tees to orery citizen and subject tho right
to pursuo his own chosen vocation, If it
be a legitimate one, and to enjoy the
fruits of it.
If a carpenter is offered employment
ln the building of a bouse it Is his nat?
ural and his. civil right to accopt It.
It"ls his right" to do the work which ho'
Is offered and receive the wages tendered.
The Stato Is under a solemn compact
with that man to defend him ngnlnst
any interference in the exercise oi this
right. If it fails to give blm such pro?
tection, It is derelict ln duty, unfaithful
to Its subjects and falso to the terms of
Its own Constitution.
You employ a clerk at a salary of fifty
dollars a monili. Soon nfterwards he
becomes dissatisfied and nsks that his
salary bo raised to seventy-five dollars
por monili. You say to him, "My busi?
ness will not warrant mo in giving you
that amount." He at once gl'i'os up the
position, but at the same time tella you
that he will not allow any other man
to take his place. Whero is the warrant
in law, or justice, or religion, or reason
for such an Interference with your busi?
ness? Will the State quietly tolerate
such conduct? It cannot do It without
surrendorhiR tho function which It is
bound by the terms of Its Constitution
to perform. Tho State must protect you
in tho exercise of your constitutional
rights, even If it should requlro the em?
ployment of Its whole military forco and
tho expenditure of every dollar ln Its
treasury. This principle Is fundamental
and vital. To surrender it is to sacrifice
personal liberty, to abandon civil govern?
ment nnd lean?? tho country to a reign of
riot and anarchy.
When the employes of a railroad be?
come dlssatlsf.od with tha management,
nnd believe that their wages are not
commensurate with their service, It la
their legal nnd moral right to quit their
places and seek employment elsewhere.
No one would dar? to disturb them In
tho exercise of this right. But when
thoy cease to labor for that corporation
nnd hand themselves together to prevent
other men from doing Hie work which
they have forsaken, they array them?
selves against tho authority of tho Stato;
they trample In tho dust consltullonal
liberty, ami become tho deadliest foes to
thn peace, order and prosperity of -so?
ciety,
GOVERNMENT AND CONSCIENCE.
That there are thousands of business
corporations In this country that are cor?
rupt and despotic. I do not doubt; that
they are paying their employes much lesa
than they could pay and ought to pay is
equally certain, I have not hesitated to
tell some of them of their cruel nnd re?
morseless Injustice. But what Is the rem
Is Not a SKm Disease*
' Most -people have an idea that rheumatism is contracted like a cold, that the
damp, chilly air penetrates the muscles and joints and causes the terrible aches
and pains, or that it ?3 something like a skin disease to be rubbed away with lini?
ment or drawn out with plasters; but Rhuematisin originates in the blood and is
caused by Urea, or Uric Acid, an irritating, corroding poison that settles in mus?
cles, joiutsand nerves, producing inflammation and soreness and the sharp, culling
pains peculiar to this disti essine disease. -,,?.?

edy? It Is, first, an appeal to govern?
ment. If thero Is any legislation upon
our statuto books that will bring relief,
let the Injured and oppressed go Into the
courts of tho country and seek the en?
forcement of that legislation. If exist?
ing law3 furnish no relief, then let an
appeal bo mode to tho public conscience.
Generato a sentiment that will express It?
self at tho ballot box, and thus secure the
passage of laws that will prevent selfish
and corrupt corporations from inflicting
injustice and wrong upon their employes,
These methods of redress are compatible
with law, publlo order, peace, moral gov?
ernment and rellogln. Recently at the ro
qucHt of tho Btrcet car motormen
of thl3 city, I went before a com?
mittee of our State Legislature and
urged the paesaga of a law for tho
better protection of the comfort and
health and lives of the employes of
tho stree railway. Believing that they
had a just compiaint, with all tho earn?
estness of my nature I supported their
petition, and would do it ngaln. That
was tho legal method; that was tho pat
rltoic method; that was tho rational and
virtuous method. For a period of forty
five years ? have boon appealing to tho
public conscience In the interest of over?
worked and poorly paid sons of toll. I
nm not ashamed of the record which I
have mado tn supporting their cause. But
all that I have said and dono has bcon
within the limits of the law and in
spirit of subordination to civil authority,
moral government and Christian pre?
cept. ? ? ? ?
??very day civil government Is becoming
moro regardful of tho rights of laboring
men. Every day public sentiment; Is de?
manding Improved legislation for tho hot
terment of the condition of the laboring
man. But these results have been se?
cured, not by political domagogues who
piny upon human Ignoranco and credulity
to put themselves In office, not by combi?
nations of laboring men who havo cove?
nanted with each other to override civil
authority, not by soliciting the diabolic
Interference of bums, thugs and toughs,
not by mob violence, not by flinging
stones and brick-bats and dynamite, but
by calm, intelligent, persistent and dig?
nified appeals to government and to en?
lightened public opinion.
QUESTION IN RICHMOND.
Tho supremo question In Richmond to?
day Is, Shall wo obey tho law, and shall
civil government ba upheld In the en?
forcement of law for the protection of
Ufo, liberty and property? I bellore it
to bo my patriotic and religious duty to
obey tho law, 1 bollovo It to bo my duty
to tench tho people that those who resA't
to mob violence, In any emergency, are
ns truly enemies to their country as sol?
diers who flaunt a mutinous flag in the
face of their commander or incendiaries
who set fire to their nation's cap?tol.
Tho opostlo Peter tolls us that It la
"the will of God" that wo obey the ordi?
nances of civil government. It Is a rell
golus as well as a cl'Vil duty. Disobedi?
ence to civil government Is Insubordina?
tion to God.
From tho 'very beginning of his minis?
try tho fealty of Jesus to tho civil power
was questioned and discredited. His ene?
mies woro zealous in trying to make It
appear that ho was unfriendly to Caesar,
But when thoy put to him the question,
"Is It lawful to pay tribute to Caesar?''
ho replied, "Ronder unto Caesar the
things that aro Caesar's and unto God
the things that aro God's."
It was a favorite charge against the
early Christians that they wore plotting
the dethronement of Caesar. Their pagan
enemies declared that all Christian meet?
ings for worship woro intended to pro?
mote disloyalty to the empire. But theso
false accusations wore persistently denied.
In tho writings of tho apostles thero aro
many passages urging Christians to re?
spect and "obey the powers that be."
So consistent was the conduct of tho
early churches In tills respect that Pliny,
in his letter to the Emperor Tragan, ad?
mitted that he found no cause of blame
In them except "a preverse aud extrav?.
agant superstition."
OBEDIENCE TO AUTHORITY.
In concluding this discourse, Jet me
emphasize the lofty and holy motive
to obedience to rightful authority set be?
fore us by tho apostle Peter, "?ttbmlt
yourselves to every ordinance of man for
tho Lord's sake." What Is It that a true
man will not do and suffer for his friend?
See Pythias mounting tho scaffold und
rejoicing In tho privilege of iTylng for
Damon. What |s It that a truo patriot
will not do for his country. Seo Marcus
Curtius mount his war horse, and, with
the hope of closing the chasm In the
Roman Forum, ride headlong Into thu
yawning abyss. What is It that tho true
mother will not da for her child? What
is it that the dutiful child will not do
for mother?
Christian men ?nd women, If for tha
sake of friend or country or parent we
would struggle, sacrifice and suffer, what
Should he our feeling to-day, when wo
hear tho VOloe of liim who loves us best
and gave hlnist'lj to redeem us from sin
and death and hell, saying, "l'or my
sake, for my -"?Ike, obey your country's
Jarts." Would, that the response of every
l ?
Christian In Richmond in the midst o?
tho confusion ami disorder and distress
about us were this:
"My gracious Lord I own thy right
To every sorvlco I can pay,
And call it my supreme delight
To hear thy dictates and obey."

MUST MOVE ALONG
AND NOT SAY SCAB
Those Who Disregarded this
Fined in the Police
Court.
'Sauire Graves Is contributing much
toward paying the expenses of tho strlko
to the city and is helping In a largo way
to put down disorder.
Thero was a large bunch of disorderly
people before him yesterday, some arrest?
ed by the police and somo by the sol?
diers. In either Instance it was a caso
of ?5 or $10 und tho culprit was lucky
to got off with a Jail sentence. Thero
wero probably twenty-five cases of this
character and in nearly every ono tho
accused was found guilty;
"I can't understand this," said 'Squire
Graves. "Here I sit day by day, and
warn people about this lawlessness, nnd
the papers print It, and yet thc docket
Is full everv day of the samo kind of
charges. 1 um going to keep on fining
you people, and I'm going to increase tha
fine, for the disorder has got to be
broken up."
Then tho lino of- law-breakers filed
up and paid their fines.
In the caso of Irvi? Irwin, a Manches?
ter man. who was ?arrested for shout
inb "scab" on tho street the most ob?
streperous witness of the day appeared.
Irwin was charged with running when
tho officer called to him to halt. He said
ha didn't run, and his two witnesses,
Messrs. McCuo and Nunnally. swore that
ho didn't run, but they did. Mr. Nunnal?
ly was quite indignant, and so was Mr.
McCuo. The latter asked tho witnesses for
tho prosecution a lof of leading questions,
and tried to prove that thoy did know
what thev wero talking about. Then
counsel for tho Passenger and Power
Company got in tho gamo, and tho ro:
suit was that Mr. Irwin was fined $10,
and Mr. Nunnally had to apologize to tho
court for using a few hasty words.
William Love and John Cantwell wero
charged with using abusive language In
Rubinstein's store, at Twenty-ninth and ?
Streets. ? Cantwell went Into the store and
asked for a cigar.
"They are fifty cents a piece," said
Rubensteln.
"Give me about six," said Cantwell,
thinking Rubinstein was joking. But when
ho found that it was no Joke, and that
Rubinstein was in earnest in charging
him $1.50 for cigars, he uttered a few
expressions of disgust such as "Gee!."
"Gosh!" "Jingo!" "Hang it!" and other
epithets.
Several witnesses ?a'?1 "? -expressions
wero stronger than that and tho accused
was fined $5, while Love was let off.
They wero told to keep away from Ru?
binstein's, as it was evident ho did not
wont their trade.
Thero was in addition to tho cases of
disorder a number of old time drunks,
nnd some disorderlies outside of strlko
lines.
James Washington wn? fb.-u-ged with
boating his wife and Mary llatchett was
summonder as a witness. It was agreed
that tho payment of costs would bo sat?
isfactory to all concerned,
"Washington and Ills hatchet," remark?
ed the 'Sauire, as tho caso was passed up.
John Nichols was charged with at?
tempting to shoot his wife and his son.
Ho was drunk and went homo with whis?
key and blood In his eyes.
"I don't know a thing about it," said
Nichols. "The last thing I remember Sat?
urday Is when that bar closed up at ?
o'clock. If vou lot mo go. I'll get out
of the wholn State. Mv wife's going to
get a divorce from mo, anyway, and I
won't bother her any moro. Let me
'go away."
"It'll be somo timo before you go away,
I'm afraid," said the 'Squire, as he fined
Nichols $50 and gave him thrco months.
