A C'rnvr! of Colored Men Snrrouinlel n Ilonnr on IlIncKoItl Street Two Arrents at I'alrvlew. Th air last night was a little too chilly for the crowding of Fairview and other parks with pleasure seekers. It was, however, not too chilly to keep away a few who looked for recreation and a much larger number drawn there out of curiosity. It was thought there would be another riot a clash between the gang commonly called the IJungaloo gang and negroes who might be in the park. It had been talked on the stieets and in raloons that the negroes were organized for a pitched battle at Fairview last night. It did not come off and between 6 o'clock and 10 o'clock laiit night not more than three negroes were seen In the park. One was a colored woman who was there as attendant to several children. The crowd In the park w;us composed principally of boys and young men, most of whom strolled through the park In groups of four to eight. They were well-behaved generally and thtre was little by winch any one might be designated as a member of the notorious gang. The park was well patrolled last night by city police, and to this and the .absence 'of negroes no doubt was due the general quietude. The only Incident of the evenInifvi.? the arrest of Carl McDowell, Arrow avenue, and Harry Hammond, of 821 Iorth Pine street, on charges of carrying concealed weapons. McDowell carried a razor and Hammond a pair of "knucks." They admitted that the weapons were for the purpose of use in case of a "mix" and also that they went to the park for the purpose of "mixing." They were arrested early In the evening und locked in the barn on the grounds, awaiting the arrest of others who It was thought would be lound. No other arrests were made, however. The scene of "trouble" was changed last right by the negroes to Itinggold street. Alfred Andrews, who was arrested at Fairview a week ago on the charge of inciting riot, lives at 21i'J Itinggold street, and last evening about :U0 o'clock about twenty negroes surrounded the house and tried to induce young Andrews to come out. Threats against his life were made, and it Is thought the negroes would have handled him roughly if he had dared show himself. liicycle IVliceman Grillin and Manning were sent out. but when they arrived at Andrews's house no negroes could be found. They secured from witnesses the names of lin Lyons, Clay Morris. Frank Walton. Grant Turner, Robert Hadley, John Drooks, Albert Coleman and Gus Wood, who were said to be members of the negro gang. Policemen were sent to Garfield Fark early in the evening after a report that about thirty-tlve of the Bungaloo gang had surrounded fourteen ntgroes. The factions did not get to fighting, but no doubt would have done so had it not been for the police on the grounds. Throughout the entire evening there were shouts and yells of gangs in different parts of the park, but no lights were reported. STRANGERS IN THE CITY. Sereral Excursion llrinf? Them to Toun At the 1'iirL.N. The usual big crowd of Sunday visitors came Into the city yesterday on excursions from Madison, Michigan City, Maxinkuckee and Cincinnati, and, following the custom, the majority of the strangers spent the day At some of the numerous parks. On account of the extra attractions at Broad Ripple the attendance at that park was much larger than usual. In addition to the usual concert at this park Paul and Julia Brachord. contortionists ar.d jugglers, entertained the visitors in the afternoon and evening with r.n exceedingly unique performance. Paul Branchard performs a number of remarkable and ditllcult contortionist acts, while his wife travels about the stage on a ball, at the s-a:ne time juggling several Indian clubs with as much ease as if she were on terra firmu. The performance lasts for more than an hour. The Branchards will repeat th'ir performance this afternoon and evening. There was also a large crowd at Fairview both yesterday afternoon and evening, the band concerts proving a pl asing and sufficient attraction. The regular midweek concert will be given at this park next Wednesday evening. In addition to the band concert Moy Kf-e. the Chinese musician, will entertain the visitors Mth selections played on Chinese instruments. The occasion will be known as a "Nisht in Peking." and the park will be illuminated with Chinese lanterns. CONFESSED HIS CRIME. Oscar Ilaxton I'ut lllnmelf In the Hand of the Police.

CAMERAS

THE FINAL PARADE PLANS

AX KXTIIl SIASTIC MKKTIXCi OF T1IC GUSEKAL COMMITTKi:. liiionlsta Will Ue Fined for Xot Taking Part in the Demonstration At the Fair Gronndn. The Labor day committee held a big meeting in Central Babor Union Hall yesterday morning to hear the final reports of the subcommittees. The work assigned to these committees has been thoroughly gone over and their reports were highly satisfactory to the general committee. The most talked of feature yesterday was the parade this morning, which promises to be the blggfst street demonstration organized labor h.s made in Indianapolis since 110, if not the largest ever held here. Nearly every union In the city has been trying to provide some sort of uniform, principally in the way of cap?, hats and shirts or shirtwaists. The demand has been so great that many of the unions were unable to thus equip themselves, as none of the Indianapolis houses was able to furnish the needed articles that were exclusively union made. To swell the ranks of the unions in the parade some have levied a fine of on each member who refuses to turn out. The United Brewery Workers, the Agents' Union and the Painters and Decorators have notified all of their members that they will be fined 52 for not marching in the parade. Nearly all of the unions will call the roll this morning before leaving their respective halls to ascertian who is absent. The Carpenters Union, one of the largest in the city, will turn out with 230 members in caps rnd shirtwaists. The Beer Drivers' Union and the Ice Drivers' Union will be mounted. The parade will start promptly at 9:30 o'clock and Grand Marshal Köster has notified all unions that if they are not ready to rr arch at that time they will not be given thir assigned places in the parade and will have to fall In behind. The unions will assemb'e at their halls at 8 o'clock and be in line in their respective divisions at 9 o'clock. AT THE FAIR GROUNDS. The programme at the fair grounds will begin promptly at 1:3) in the afternoon with a drill by the English Zouaves In front of the grand stand. Following this will be the address of the day by Bew Wallace, jr. This will be the only speech made. The committee also decided that no speechmaking in the "corners" will be allowed. One element of the Labor day committee wished to have a Socialist speak, but the speaking committee was silent on the subject yesterday morning, which means that no socialistic oratory will be allowed, either on the official programme or on the grounds. Following the address of Mr. Wallace the races will begin and then the other features of the programme, including a balloon ascension and parachute leap. The balloon will be across the race course from the grand stand so that the spectators may see without leaving their seats. There will also be dancing during the afternoon. The baby show, if diligent search for babies counts for anything, will be a success so far as numbers and variety go. Yesterday Grand Marshal Köster, who is also assistant chairman of the amusement committee, announced that the color line would not be drawn and he has been spending considerable time looking up colored babies for the contest. One of the judges is President M. T. Butler, of the general committee. He is a bachelor and on this account the committee has figured that he will be able to give impartial decisions, having never been Intluenced or prejudiced by any particular baby talent. The other judges are Mrs. Kennedy, Mrs. Feltman, Miss Lillie Fredericks and Miss Nellie Banders. It is said a carriage will be provided to convey the judges to places of safety immediately after their decisions. XEW TIIIXG IX Tit A DCS LMOMSM. An Organization of Commercial Traveler to Have Xatlonal Scope. Organized labor received an addition to its ranks in Chicago Saturday when a number of traveling men met at McCoy's Hotel and organized the Traveling Salesmen's Union of Chicago. Eighteen salesmen were present and George Thompson, organizer of the American Federation of Labor, performed the ceremony which made them trade unionists. The Chicago Federation of Labor will be asked to give its official indorsement to the drummers' application to the American Federation of Labor for a charter. Samuel B. Donnelly, ex-president of the International Typographical Union, well-known in this city, who is now employed as a traveling salesman for a publishing house, Is one of the charter members. It is the intention of the organizers that the new union shall become national in its scope, and include all classes of drummers who desire to be known as union men. The movement thus far is confined to salesmen in the publishing line, but the constitution of the new union will be made broad enough to include all others who want to combine to protect their interests. In speaking of the objects of the neworganization. Organizer Thompson said that the members would use their efforts to further the sale of union-made articles in ali lines of business, and that in this way they would be a powerful ally to the ranks of organized labor. "It will not be a 'mutual admiration' society or an exclusive social organization." said Thompson, "but a genuine labor union, whose members will demand unionlabel goods and not be ashamed to admit they are working men. With the extensive formation of trusts and combinations, the employment of the 'drummer' has become more precarious than it was. and the men believe that through a good national organization they can protect their interests and at the same time render substantial aid to other classes of labor." After the organization is fairly launched a rule will provide that when a number of drummers meet on their rounds only men carrying union cards will be allowed to tell stones. This, it is believed, will prove a powerful incentive to all salesmen to join, as tbe drummer who cannot tell a story dues not have the respect of his fellowcraftsmen and Is socially ostracised. 311'SICIAXS' l.MON 3IEETS. The Annual Elect ion of Officers A Letter from liermnii), The Indianapolis Musicians' Protective Association yesterday held its annual electin and named the following officers: President, A. A.

Germany, was read in the meeting, in which he said thai Sousa's marches are being played by every band and orchestra there, either at the beginning or at the close of every concert. The delegates to the Labor Day Committee reported that six band had been engaged for the paiade this morning, and .lo a band from Greenfield. ;irli Threatened to Strike. The strike at the Cor. key plant in Hammond threatened to spread to the counting room Saturday, when the girls employed there were asktd to work in the bindery department In the plat e of others who are en strike. Th y refused to do so, and threatened to walk out ruther than take the places of the strikers. The girls hold the key to the situation In the plant, as the company has been able to secure a few men to go to work, but no girl. The pickets sav that the men secured are not skilled

workmen, and that the company will eventually have to come to terms.

A Conference at Grand Lodge Hall with Secretary Leedy to Terfect . Plans Detroit Committee Here. The arrangements for the meeting of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, I. O. O. F., which meets in this city the week of Sept. 17, have practically been completed. W. II. Leedy, of this city, secretary of the Indiana Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, in his September report Issued on Saturday, and which will be sent to all of the lodges in the State this week, say3 that the advices which he has received, lead him to believe that the Odd Fellows' demonstration in this city will be the largest in fraternal history. "It will be a glorious reunion," he says, "of the members of the biggest and grandest society of its kind on the round globe. He has received reports from nearly every county in the State and each one, he says, is indicative of more enthusiasm than was ever manifested before. Without exception each county has promised to bring the best band than can be obtained and some of them have promised two. Estimatse have been sent by Mr. Leedy to all of the counties in the State stating the number of Odd Fellows that he expects to attend from each. As an instance- of the proportion which he demands, he writes to the lodges of Boone county which have an aggregate membership if 874 and says that he expects 000 of them to be present. Boone county replies that live of the seven lodges have decided by vote to take part as lodges in the parade. The other two are expected to take the same action at their next meeting, and Mr. Leedy's correspondent concludes his letter by saying that Boone county expects to do even better than the estimate fixed by the grand secretary. The promise of Boone county is exactly similar to the promises made by all of the rest of the counties in the State. Mr. Leedy said yesterday that he had every assurance that the crowd would exceed his first expectations of 100,000 people. "We will undoubtedly have more than 25.000 men in the big parade," said he, "and between the Odd Fellows and the state fair I don't know what the city is going to do with all the people that will be here. But you can say that they will be entertained and in a manner befitting the hospitality of Indianians." MEETING IN THIS CITY. Yesterday there was a meeting of the representatives of lodges from all over the State held in the Grand Lodge room, st the corner of Pennsylvania and Washington streets. Nearly a hundred lodges were represented and each representative made a glowing report to Secretary Leedy. The object of the meeting was the perfection of plans for the entertainment of the thousands that will be here the week of the 17th. A committee also came here from Detroit yesterday to complete arrangements for their hotel quarters. Mr. Leedy said that the Detroit delegation had made arrangements some time ago with a hotel but that a misunderstanding as to the rates had arisen since that time and the committee came down to straighten matters out. There had been rumors, he said, that hotels intended to increase the rates originally agreed upon, but that, in so far as he knew, there was nothing In the report. "If any hotel," said he, "should attempt to take advantage of us. we would simply taboo it and take our guests somewhere else." Mr. Leedy has also received letters from most of the larger cities stating that large delegations are making arrangements to attend the meeting in this city. Mr. Leedy has advised grand lodges of the different States to appoint a grand marshal In order that It may be easier to perfect their organization when they arrive in this city. PROPERTY OWNERS COMPLAIN. Eleventh and Fifteenth Ward People Hold a Citizens MeetlnK. Property owners of the Eleventh and Fifteenth wards are aroused over the condition of the Kentucky avenue sewer and will demand that something be done by the city. Saturday night a meeting was held to discuss the matter and a committee on resolutions with instructions to report within a week was appointed as follows: Paul Bonner. John Faber, August Angrick, James Mahoney, James Mcliugh ami Thomas Hogan. It Is said there is a hole fifty feet in diameter and about two teet deep at the mouth of the Kentucky avenue sewer that is constantly tilled with tilth and rubbish that the interceptor will not carry away, and the committee will ask that the sewer be extended to the channel of the river. There is also complaint that the desiccating company does not properly dispose or tne reiuse or tne dump located in that vicinity. A committee appointed to investigate conditions along White river from Greenlawn cemettry to the Belt bridge reported that the grounds for complaint there were much more substantial than those that caused people to complain of the South Meridianstreet sewer. The whole matter will be presented to the Board of Works in about a week. CITY COUNCIL TO-NIGHT. Controller Dunn' Iteqtient for Tempo rnry Loan to lie Ciintilrred. The City Council will meet to-night, and the principal matter to be considered will be a temporary loan of $.V,m or f,i)0 additional to those already made to pay Aumist bills. Controller Dunn has already prepared an Itemized statement of the expenses incurred that make necessary an additional loan, and it is now in the hands of the tinar.ee committee. The rules of the Council provide that when an ordinance is pa.MSt-d the amt day it is presented iL must be by unanimous vote. On this account Chairman Megrew asked for an Itemized statement, showing all the actual expenses and indebtedness incurred, in order to make an intelligent recommendation to the Council.

A PETITION FOR GAUSS

SOUTH SI HE DEMOCRATS WAXT TO VOTE FOIt HIM FOR 3IAY0U. Movement Fathered hy Those DIntinfled with the Machine Scramble for Colored Vote. A petition is being circulated to have the name of Charles A. Gauss placed on the ticket as an independent candidate for mayor. The petition, is in the hands of Henry T. Hudson and it is said that it has already been signed by nearly two hundred South Side Democrats. The movement to have Mr. Gauss's name placed on the ticket as an independent candidate is attributed to the dissatisfaction which many Democrats are manifesting over the nomination of Charles Maguire. Democratic leaders, who learned of the petition yesterday, appeared very much concerned and it is understood that they have already approached Mr. Gauss in the hope of pursuading him not to be a candidate. A Democrat who actively supported William F. Moore in his race for the Democratic nomination for mayor said yesterday that Mr. Maguire's managers would have a hard time pursuading Mr. Gauss to withdraw as he had been importuned by hundreds of Democrats to allow his name to go on the ticket. "We want some one on the ticket whom we can voto for," said he, "and I think when Mr. Gauss fully understands that we are going to take otf our coats for him he will not demur to his name being placed on the ticket." Mr. Gauss's name was frequently mentioned as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for mayor, but owing to the manifested hostility of the "machine" he declined to allow a petition with his name to be tiled with the Democratic chairman. It is not known what position Mr. Gauss will take in the matter as he could not be found last night. a AFTER THE COLORED VOTE. The Mngulre Manager Maklnsr Eyery Effort to Capture It. The Democrats have early in the campaign Indicated that they intend to capture the colored vote at the coming election if they can. Already trusted agents have been sent among them and secret meetings which the colored voters attend are an almost nightly occurrence. In some instances these meetings are fairly well attended while others are extremely disappointing and sometimes very costly. One of the latter sort was held at Jack Christian's roadhouse, near the fair grounds, last Friday night. This meeting is said to have been got up by "William Maguire, son of the Democratic nominee for mayor; Charles Polster and William Kissel. Neither of the promoters was present, however, and the "jollying" and the "booze arrangements" were left to a subordinate. There were present at the meeting Warren La Bue, Joseph Hodges, Archie Bauman, "Hobo Jack." Charles Hubbard. Charles Boice, James Harris, and several other colored men, all of whom are willing to be entertained and each of whom had promised to "listen to reason." There must have been Bomething wrong about the booze, however, for the meeting never reached the "promise" stage of the game. Everybody present, including the man in charge, somehow or other, got hopelessly mixed and the whole thing ended up in a free-for-all fight. But the negroes got the beer and plenty of it, and as one of them said afterwards, "dat's all we wanted." FOUGHT UNIQUE BATTLE. Method of n Little Man to Demonstrate III Physical Frowes. The size of a man nor the wages he earns do not prove his pugilistic ability, according to a contest that was held in the alley back of the Western Union office the other night. Two negroes met in front of the Western Union building. Both worked at the same place, and were supposed to do the same amount of work, but when they compared pay envelopes it was shown that the big man had been paid 11.23, and the little man $1. The little man objected to this, and said he had earned as much as the big man. The big man said he hadn't. Then the little man went back to their "boss," but his visit did not profit him 25 cents, the amount necessary to place the two on an equality. The little man returned to the big man and renewed his assertion that he could and did do as much work as his better paid rival. Finally they agreed to go back into the alley and decide the matter. They got well back off the street, while the messenger boys, who were much interested 1n the outcome of the controversy and desired to see "fair play" without interference, stationed pickets at all the corners to watch for the police, and then gave the signal to begin. The men pulled their coats off, took a deliberate survey of each other, stretched themselves, and then coolly began to make "passes." Science was soon forgotten as they warmed to the contest, and it became a catch-as-catch-can, rough-and - tumble match. They fought for fifteen minutes, encouraged by the jeers and cheers of the messenger boys, according to the status of the battle. At length the $1.23 man began to lose his energy, while the $1 man acted as if he were just beginning. This was too much for the big man, and he was forced to acknowledge that the $1 man was his better physically. The messenger boys then dispersed, agreeing that it was "hot stuff" for awhile. INVEIGHS AGAINST CHARITY. 3Ilss Lizzie Ilarlorr at the First Spiritualist Church. Miss Lizzie Harlow, of Ilaydenville, Mass., began a series of meetings at the First Spiritualist Church last evening. She does not deal in phenomena, but in philosophical spiritualism, and as she addressed the audience for about an hour last night in a deep, resonant voice it was claimed that she was under the control of a spirit, probably a male spirit, as she used masculine gestures in emphasizing her remarks. The congregation of that church will be treated to eight months of spiritual meetings, and next month the mediums will give illustrations of phenomenal things. Miss Harlow spoke last night on the use of charity, and said it was much abused. She said human nature is corrupt and sinful. "We have drawn a cloak of charity near many things," she said. "Charity is to excuse, to cloak over, to cover up the man who knows he has done wrong and wishes to be excused. The moment you know you have something to cover up you become a slae. We have too much charity in this country." THE INDEPENDENT LEAGUE. A Meeting: for Organization and Appointment of Committees. The directors of the Independent Bowling League met at the Washington alleys yesterday afternoon to discuss the formation of the league for the coming season. Last year the league was composed of six clubs, but this year there will be eight. Applications were received from eleven clubs to become members of the league this year. The clubs will be the Deweys, Ramblers, Prospects. Tish-i-mingoes, Easterns. Telegraphers. Hoo-Hoos and the Meteors. The Telegraphers may change their name before the season start? and the Meteors may also sail under another name. Committees were appointed as follows: On schedule. A. M. Bay and L. Buddenbaum: on alleys. Mr. S'ieman and A. M. Uav; on constitution and bv-laws, Charles F. Baron. A. M. Kay and W. A. Painter. The committers will report at a meeting to be held Sept. 1".. The championship season will probably open the lirst or second week in October and will last twenty or twentynnc weeks. The directors decided to adopt the plan inaugurated by the Indianapolis Bowling

League last season of dividing the teams into two divisions of five men each. The league will be stronger this year than ever before as all of the teams have been strengthened. The Indianapolis Bowling League will meet to-morrow afternoon at the Marion Club alleys.

THIRTY-FIRST ANNIVERSARY. German Orphans' Association Celebration on Next Sunday.

Mayor Taggart will open the session with an address at 2 o'clock and Prof. Nix will deliver an address. From 12 until 2 o'clock dinner will be served, and also supper after the meeting. These celebrations are always attended by Germans from all parts of the State and from adjoining States. Last year it is estimated that there were 14.lX) persons on the grounds, and this year promises to be as successful. ABOUT PLYMOUTH CHURCH REV. H. C. MESERVE'S LAST SERMOV IN THE OLD 111 I LD INC.. He Discusses the Church In Retrospect and Prospect" Other Church Services. Rev. IT. C. Meserve delivered the last sermon in the Plymouth Congregational Church yesterday morning before a large congregation. A special musical programme was given. Mr. Meserve took for his subject, "Retrospect and Prospect," and told the history of the church and prospects of the future. In part he said: "Evolution expects to reckon with at least two factors without which it will venture no conclusion, namely, heredity and environment. Given these it has sutrieient data to form a reliable opinion concerning anything which lies within the scope of its investigations. Now if we substitute for heredity that which in this Instance at least is a nearly synonymous term, history, we have the necessary lactors by which man determines something of the meaning of the world, of society and of his own life. The application ot this method to the situation in which we lind ourselves this morning will reveal, not the eddies of the great movement of which this church has been the center, but tne mignty current which has borne it along to its present position and given it the power to cope with its present problem. FACED TWO CRISES. Tlymouth Church has faced two crises and is about to face a third. It was born in the stormy period of our Nation's his tory (1S57), and began at once to gather strength as the Nation gathered strength for its mighty struggle. A quarter of a century later there was another crisis, when the church removed from its location on the Circle to its present site, and now the crisis is again before us as we go out from this place to take up our work in some other favorable but at present un known location. "These crises have been marked, too, by different but complementary spirits. 1 at tempt no exact definition, but would sug gest that the rtrst of these may be called the militant spirit. It was a time ot struggle for life and for principle. Political opinions divided churches in those days and men had the courage of their convic tions and hesitated not to show them when called upon to do so. The new church took no uncertain stand upon the dominant question of the day. Indeed the voice of Plymouth has been no uncertain voice upon any question upon which it has felt called to speak. It is true in the early days that the questions of theology were lost in the rush of events and that the church was content to be like all other churches in this regard, but the struggle for life at the very beginning and after the church acquired property were facts far too potent to be abandoned for the discussion of theories. Then came the philanthropic spirit. The church began a larger life. It came to be unique in its life and work. Responding to the appeal of its leader it began to preach and live the oneness of life. He felt that no concern of man was alien to the church, that in every department of life, intellectual, social, civil, as well as that which is termed religious, the church should have a part. The city knows the work that was done for our charity system and the Interest the church has taken in all philanthropic problems. Its religious life has been broad and free. The idea has not been to shut men up to a certain faith, but to introduce men into a liberty by which all men may be made free. THE PROGRESSIVE SPIRIT. "The spirit of this, the third, crisis is the progressive rpirit. It gathers up all the good of the past, it treasures the inspirations of the past, but it expects to advance beyond the mark of the older days. "This place is filled with sacred memories to most of you. It has touched the deepest and best side of your life. You see here to-day faces that you will never see In the flesh again. You hear voices of loved ones who have passed forever from the activities of life. They were men and women like to us. They had their dreams and met their defeats and accepted their victories like the true, spirits they were. They accomplished much, but be sure that with all they accomplished they wished to do more. They had plans never completed. He who so nobly led this people who fought his doubts and gathered strength' continuallj'. passed, full of unfulfilled hopes for the good of this people and for the community. These all bid us hope and to enter into their labors. They bid us advance along the way of life and till It with blessing for all who pass. I dreammay the hope find speedy fulfillment of the day when a new Plymouth Church shall rise fair and beautiful and dedicated to the service of man. Why not to God, do you say? Because there can be no worthy dedication to God our Father which Is not first made possible by a true service for our brother man." AT FIltST BAPTIST CHURCH. net. T. J. Yillers's Sermon Rased on "The Faith Life." The Rev. T. J. Villers, of the First Baptist Church, last night preached on "The Faith Life" He divided the subject into nine parts, and used the story of the faithful life of Moses as typical of the nine classifications. The first, he said, was faith refusal, lie said Moses refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, thereby disinheriting himself of the heirship of the King. The faith refusal, he said, is sometimes as necessary as faith in acceptance. The second, he said, was faith choice. He said Moses chose the people of God through his faith, instead of choosing the riches and wealth of Pharaoh. The third, he said, is faith discretion, which Moses exercised, a discretionary power, when choosing what his future should be, whether it be with God or with sin. The fourth, ho said, was faith expectancy, a faith and assurance of a reward and reccompense from God. The fifth was faith departure. This, he said, was Moses's faith when he left the kingdom of Pharaoh for Egypt, trusting in God to direct, guide and take care of him and his people, and separating himself entirely from all other religions but God's. He said Moses left nothing behind, and that the trouble to-day in accepting faith is in always leaving something behind. Th sixth was faith fearlessness. This fearlessness, he said, Moses displayed when he defied Pharaoh and his hosts, and Is the faith that makes heroes and heroines. The seventh Is faith endurance, the eight faith vision, and the ninth faith compliance. These faiths, he said, go to make up a substantial Christian character. iiRifiiiTwoon niTisT ciirnni.
