Purity" 1T may be recognized" said the
Doctor at the opening of his talk, "tha: the
attribute of the perfect man must be per-
sonal purity" He then toUk for peerless
example of that personal purity the Savior
of the world. In this pure character, the
image of perfection immaculate and divine
was opened to mankind for q criterion

springs from an uncultlvated race of peo-
pie where enlightenment originated solely
from natures unwritten language. most
surely Is not held responsible in the same
degree as the person who has rejected the
teachings of the fresde and the golden
words hsped at mothers knee. The
speaker dwelt particularly on the Intn-
ences Of home and painted pictures of the
heppiest domestic lives as against that of
world and brought into contact with the
vicIous. DIR. carp devoted some time to y
moral lecture on the demon alcohol, and
portrayed with telling reality the results
Of an intem Derate life. In concluding his
talk the Doctor said: "A kind word spoken.

While Warden Davis sails under false
eoIors IN claiming . great saving TO the
state IN the management of the prison,
he has made one or two recommends
tons IN his report to the beard OF
PRISON inspectors which will be ap-
proved. Especially one recommending
that the inmates of prisons be graded
90 that professional criminals may be
kept apart from onss less inclined to
do evil. This plaza Is IN operation IN
the Eimlra reformatory, where its
fruits are highly satisfactory. Mr..
Davis also calls attention to the dis
parity in sentences imposed by judges
for ike offenses. II not infrequently
occurs that . man is sentenced for
= long term for . trivial theft by .
gwen judge At . stated term OF court
to be followed = little later in
the same term by light sentence for .
comparatively helnous crime. This
inequality is attributable to the differ
ence in temperaments Of the judges
and also to the circumstances sur
rounding the commission Of the crime.
For instance, . man may steal $40
under aggravated circumstances. while
another may be technically guilty of
stealing $40, 900. when in fact no lar
ceny WAS intended. OF the peculiar
surroundings OF each case the warden
can have but incomplete knowledge.
Yet 1t Is true that judges are lenient or
severe many times through other mo-
tives than to satisfy the ends of JUS
tics. The injustice incident to such
variable sentences can never be rec
tilted. So long ~ men violate law 10
prey upon society they must suffer
whatever penalty is prescribed. The
evil Of unequal sentences is . legacy OF
the passions and prejudices which were
made the corner-stones Of customs and
usages beyond the time when the
memory of man runneth not to the
contrary.
