Prisoners, Sunday.

The executive committee of the MaSSa-
chusetts Prison Association publishes in the
Christian Register the following concerning
the origin and object of Prisoners Sum
day." ''In 1884. at a meeting of about one
hundred New York clergymen. it was voted
to recommend that all churches should
set aside one Sunday in the year for the
consideration of the relation of Christian
people to the reformation of criminals
The fourth Sunday in October was desig-
mated for this purpose. During the years
since 1884 there has been a growing ObServ-
ance of the day. many clergymen preaching
upon phases of the question. 1t is to be-
observed again this year. The Massachu-
sets Prison Association is preparing pa
per which will be issued to clergymen and
others early in October, containing matter
bearing upon the great problems. The fol-
lowing appeal has been issued to Massa-
chusetts clergymen:
The Directors of the Massachusetts
Prison Association confidently claim the CO.
operation of clergy and churches in their
work. That work is in direct line with
the deepest promptings of Christianity.
Apathy and Indifference to the rescue of
criminals would seem to be diSloya to the

and sinners. declaring that he came not to
call the righteous. but sinners to repentance.
He sought their repentance. So not retrl-
button, but reformation, is the watchword
of all intelligent effort for prisoners. 1t
may be natural to feel antipathy for law
breakers. and desire their punishment. 1t
is Christian. however. to seek not to con-
denim. but to save. If it seems QuiXOtic to
take so much pains for the rescue of an &C.
casiOnal criminal. it should not be forgotten
that there is Joy in heaven over one sinner
that repenteth more than over ninety and
nine just persons which need no repentance.
IF we turn our backs upon the whole
matter as uninteresting. we seem to hear
pathetic voice saying. L was in prison. and
we visited me not
ut is proposed that October 25th shall be
observed as Prisoners Sunday and that
on that day the congregations of our
churches shall have their attention called to
this important subject. shall be shown the
extent of crime and the new methods of
dealing with the delinquent classes and es-
pecially the duty of Christian people with
regard to the reformation of criminals"

It is legal in Canada to advertise the sale of an account against delinquent debtor, no matter if it is done to injure the credit and reputation of the debtor. Justice Rose of Kingston, Ont, has de cided that an account against a debtor is the property of the creditor to dispose of as he pleases. If the creditor chooses to sell it and announces his intention of do- ing so in terms that imply that the debtor could pay if he chose, the creditor does not exceed his legal rights, and the debt or has no legal redress for any injury such public notice may have caused him.
