Religion is not luxury, but a necessity.

not be necessarily the one with

"A Sinner Is His Own Worst

At Westminster Presbyterian church,
lastievening, Rev D. J. BurrelI preached
from the text: He that sinneth against
Me wrOngeth his own sell. Proverbs
viii, So.
Sin cannot be painted in colors too
dark. 1t is 10000 times more horrible
than human language can portray it,.

that the hearers make two-thirds Of the

THE POLICE BILL.
It Is in Imminent Danger OF Being
DFODDed.

Dropped.
Unless some one takes a more active
interest in il, there is danger that the
police relief fund bill now before the
legislature will be defeated. 1t NAV not
be defeated in open debate or vote, but
it stands in imminent danger of being
killed in committee. or lost through in
attention. The bill provides for both
relief fund and retired list. The
relief fund provision sets forth
that portion of the fines
collected in the municipal court go to
the fund. The retired list clause is.
however, the principal one, and the one
which may cause the premature demise
of the bill. Some people have an idea
that policeman are on the road to
wealth. They may be. but q wealthy
policeman would be more of an anomaly
than defaulting bank president who
was not prominent church member or
a Sunday school superintendent. The
salaries OF patrOlmen are $50. $40
and SIS per month. accord
ing to length of service. Al
least S25 per month is required to pay
for the clothing which 4 patrolman
must have. When his family and him
self have been properly supported out

money left with which TO buy bank
stock or United States senatorships.
That "a policeman's life is not a haDpv

danger. Men are not eligible for places

too. Mr.. French was not particularly
radical. Onlp mildly denunciatory. Mr..
French is a prohibitiOnist. and he dis
cusSed the patrol limits question from
that standpoint. He, first OF all. put
himself on record as opposed to
high license on the shOpwOrn
prohibitiOuist ground. The higher 1t
is the worse it is. . he declared. But he
favored the patrol limits as they now
stand. because ne believed that this
confinement OF the saloons to prescribed
districts 4 step in the right direction
toward final extinction. He didn't want
10 see the limits extended because that
would be extending the evil. He knew
that the HenneDin delegation was dis
posed to extend the line because all
but two of them (he did not
mention the two were elected on that
issue. Then the reverend gentleman
threw himself into 4 state of heavenly
eXaltatiOn over the grand work done by
fourteen ministers who had worked
against the patrol limits bill. and who
sent to the delegation a petition against
the bill to which were attached 1000
signatures. That was about all there
was 10 his SermOnette.

Rev. wayiand Hoyt's Roast.

Rev. Wayland HOyt roasted the Hen
nepin delegation to a turn last night at
the First Baptist church. The topic of
his discourse. The Patrol Limits. he
cOntended was the most important
question to the citizens OF Minneapolis
that is now before the legislative body.
He asserted that the Trip charter was
insignificant as compared with the
curse that the liquor traffic would throw
upon the city if the patrol limits
were abolished. In opening his re-
marks, he said Minneapolis was
not Onlv one of the most beautiful
cities in the United States. but it had
the pureSt. most respectable. IdW-abid-
ing class Of citizens that could be found
in any place IN the world. The reason
for this. he believed. was entirely due
to the good liquor traffic government,
or the sO-called patrol limits. Under
the present state OF affairs. he said, vice
is obscure. he iails free from criminals
ana the homes defended. He said the
people did not want to inter
feTe with the liquor interests;
they are perfectly satisfied to
leave affairs as they now are. but
when there is talk of throwing the city
''Wide Onen''it is time that all laW-abid-
ing citizens should rise Indignantly and
voice their sentiments. He read letter
from q member OF the Hennepin dele
cation that was sent TO the chairman of
a committee. composed of the ministers
and leading citizens. that was making
arrangements Tor a meeting to discuss
the liquor question. The writer stated
that the members of the delegation were
tired of opinion: they mad already
listened attentively TO the appeals OF
the people and that the delegation
could not neglect important business to
satisfy the wishes OF a few cranks. The
speaker sarcastically ridiculed the let
ter. He thought that 1t was quite dis
courteous and unAmerican for repre-
sentatives OF the people not to allow
conference with q committee OF citizens
that had petitions containing over 1000
signatures demonstrating against the
passage of a measure that is under COLI
sideTatiOn. Such cOnsumate nerve is
quite unparalleled in the history OF the
government. In concluding he said that
he believed that the delegation was
duty bound to work for the interests Of
the liquor traffic. and that many OF the
members would not listen to argument
or be influenced by public sentiment.

Lombard Crown.
One OF the most curious relics pre-
served in the Ashmolean Museum, at
Oxford, England, is crown having a
framework said to have been made of
the nails that were driven through the
hands and feet OF Jesus at Calvary.
The crown itself Is embossed with
jewels and gold, exhibiting a~close re-
semblance to the enamelled work OF the
present day, notwithstanding the fact
that its history can be traced back to
the time of the coronation of Agilufus,
King OF Normandy. in the year SOL. As
noted in the foregoing, the portion Of
the crown which is of greatest tradi-
tional interest is tho framework Of iron.

inch in thickness. attached to the inner
circumference OF the jeweled super

legendary report, used at the Cruelty

who. .history says. was Tho discoverer of
the cross-to her son, Constantine the
Great, as a miraculous protection from
the dangers of the battlefield.
The priest who exhibits the crown to
curious visitors points out, as perman-
emit miracle, the fact that there is not .
single speck OF rust upon the iron, al
