Beecner's Brothers In Prison

Sermon at Louisville, Ky.
How is it in regard to the courts and
the administration of justice, and how
is 1t in regard to those ON whom Justice
is administered? Next to the misery OF
no government is the misery of having a
government. 1t Is naturally better than
nothing. Can any one say that our courts
administer justice according to the be-
nign spirit of christianity? How do we
look upon criminals? Here is a man
who stood high month ago. and every
body was glad to have him in their sa-
looms. All at once it is understood that
he has been a defalcator. When man
steals $1,000 we say he is a defalcator.
For while there may be certain sort
of buoying him up; but he is brought be-
fore the court convicted and sentenced
to the penitentiary. What is the feeling
when this man walks out from human
society? Who weeps for him? There he
is. There is the old fellow, Pretty good
for him. He ought to be hanged, any
way. This is his crime, but it is his mis-
fortune, too. There is no man that
needs so much care as the man that has
got nobody to pity him and there is no
man that is so pitiful as the man that has
lost his friends by his own crimes when
we see the public sentiment in regard to
prisoners. l know what / am talking
about, because L myself have shrunk
from the convict criminal. In walking
through prisons, and seeing bench after
bench, L could have thrown my arms
around them, and said, ooh, my brotk-
ers, can help you out of this"
