LAW AND LAW-BREAKERS.

The Rev. w. T. Davis, who is posing as a
martyr before the Boston courts because he
is not allowed to preach on the Common, in
violation of city ordinance, is described as
a rather remarkable man. The venerable
Professor Peabody declares him to be the
most scholarly student whom he had met in
Harvard during forty years; he is an expert in
athletics, labors in the summers in the slums
OF Boston, and as missionary in the
winters among the lumbermen Of
Michigan. During the progress of his case
in court last week he occupied his leisure mo-
ments in perusing his Greek Testament
With all his accomplishments and abilities.
stands precisely on level with, say Mr. Sim
Coy and the indianapolis saloon keepers, in his
Davis, of course, had in mind what he con-
ceived to be the good Of others when he
gathered crowd on the Common contrary to
the ordinance, and it is hardly necessary
to say that the saloon-keepers have no such
purpose in view in insisting upon keeping
their dens open beyond legal hours; but the
attitude of both preacher and saloon keeper
in regard to public morals is the same 1t is
not surprising that "Blood- washed Willie"
lieutenant Lizzie" and some of the ignorant
associates Of Mr.. Davis in his outdoor evan
gelizing efforts, should protest against the
enforcement Of a law which interfered with
their plans: but when intelligent men, who
should teach law abiding spirit rather
than encourage its opposite. take such stand
as has this Boston man of God it is cause for
wonder. The rule forbidding public gather
ings on the Common may be offensive, but it
is the law and the Rev. Davises should abide
by it rather than set an example of law break
ing to others only too ready to object to ex-
listing regulations. 1t is gratifying to learn
that the court reprimanded and fined the
chief offender, and it only remains to hope
that law breakers of the Sim Coy type, with
which every city is afflicted, are treated in
the same courts with equal severity.

known by the pet name of 'Billy' Brown,
created great sensation in the denomination,
though it did not spread as revivals do now to
all churches and forms Of faith In those days
the liberality of sentiment that prevails now,
and exchanges pulpits between Presbyterians
and Methodists, Baptists and Christians,
sends Mr.. McCuiloch to recep-
ton of Father Bessonies, and mixes up
creeds and communicates in a very confusing
way to the bgotry that thinks it knows
the only road to heaven, was not only I'm
known, but held an impossibilty of regene-
rate nature. ''Close communion" was an arti-
Gle Of faith to die in at the stake, and even in
innate social intercourse was largely barred by
religious intolerance. Different sects were dis
putting and quarreling sects, and their meet
ings were much more likely to take the form
of prolonged and acrimonious debates than
the sociality and pleasant intercourse so COM
mon now. Thus it came that revivals and all
religious demonstrations attracted little inter
est outside of the denomination in which they
started and such of the unregenerate world as
might be attracted by the eloquence of the
preacher or the excitement of the occasion.
The greatest revival known in indianapolis at
any period of its history was in the winter and
spring of 1643 when the "Millerite" theory
Of the Second advent" had attained national
notoriety and an adhesion Of enthusiasts
greater than any delusion of the century.
The awakening was by no means confined to
the Adventists or their missionaries, or any
particular church. Every church in the city
was at fever heat, and crowded nearly every
night. Never a Sunday passed without a
procession of the members Of one or another
and often of two or three to the river or canal
to administer the rite of baptism usually by
immersion, sometimes by pouring the cupped
hands full of water on the kneeling convert
head, or sprinkling it. The monstrous comet
glaring balefully, as many thought, in the
western sky, helped the excitement, and In
dianapolis was much nearer completely con-
verted town than it ever will be again. The
efforts of our later revivalists, though affect
ing far wider range of denominations and
attracting greater bodies Of hearers, are less
pervading than that of 1943. That is, they
fall far short Of reaching so nearly everybody
in community There were not more than
third az many people to be reached at that
time as now, and very much larger meetings
now don't mean moro thorough penetration
of society by revival influences.

WORKING FOR MONEY,

will reject: "The old-fashioned sentiment
which forbade gentlemen and women Of GER
tain income working for money had its root
in the sound and honorable feeling that it be-
came those who had enough and
to spare to allow the less favored
chance" One need not be much
of cynic to set this down as "gushr from
overheated enthusiasm The impulse that re-
strained people 'of certain income from
working for money" had its root in the be-
lief, by no means unusual now, and once q
good deal more general especially in countries
with distinctions of class recognized by law

so strangely discovered by our contemporary,
but because they don't have to, and don't
think it creditable But we see it more con-

English society Until recently it was held
unbecoming and even disgraceful for a
nobleman, or gentleman Of Independent means,
to follow any occupation except in military,
or naval, or ecclesiastical office, or under a

| No one of this class could be merchant OF
doctor, or teacher or manufacturer, without
loss of caste, and very few ever attempted to
be. Once in awhile, but very rarely, noble
mans younger son, who had no expectations
from the ancestral estate, would study
law, as the celebrated Lord Erskine
son of the Earl of Buchan, did, and make
himself noble by title as we'll as by blood, by
his own efforts but the cases of that kind

THE fact that to the dispatch announcing the
presentation to Harvard College by James
Russell Lowell of several hundred books was
appended the assurance that all the works were
valuable and none of them commonplace has
informed persons. The writer of that dispatch
has evidently been at some period of his life
connected with school or public library, and is
acquainted with the sort Of literary junk which
philanthropsts are accustomed to bestow upon
them with much flourish. 1t is gratifying to
learn that the Lowell gift is not Of this sort.
