thanlxless his mission on earth, but that works under the sympathy of his God and the smiles of the angels.
 It is the model steward and deacon who trains the church in the way of iberality, but if they are close-fsted themselves their spirit is contagious; worthless themselves, the shadow of their faithless lives fall upon all with whom they come in contact; refusing to pay their own debts, others refuse to give them what they demand for the church.
 A fellow who pulls corks out of demi- johns and bottles is not good fellow to pull money out of the brethren, and the fellow who plays cards cannot play steward and deacon much.
 A fellow who goes in doubtful ways and follows wicked devices will make but poor headway when he tries to get others to be liberal and respond to the claims and calls of the church and pastor.
 A deacon whose breath does not smell right, whose hands are not clean. whose feet walk in forbidden paths, will make a poor servant of God to send out on a mission of the church
 A lazy, indolent deacon will infuse his spirit into others who will be hurt thereby.
 A pastor can nowhere show his ad- ministrative qualities and good com mon sense more than in the selection of the board of stewards and deacons.
 No church can prosper with an of- fensive official board.
 It is said that the devil once held a parliament and was receiving reports from emissaries who had returned from earth, among others one emissary reported that in the section of earth where he had been that religion was taking the community, that at every church service conversions were re- ported, class meeting largely attend ed, prayer meeting enthusiastic and successful, Sunday school overhowing and every interest of the church four ishing nightly At the end of his report the devil ordered one of hisE emissaries to get his overcoat, boots and hat, that he must start out imme-. diately and see about that settlement;. but while the emissary was gone for his boots and overcoat. and hat an-i other emissary stood up and said that the reports just given were true, but 'I staid all night in that settlement the other night and one of the deacons gave a dance at his house." So when the emissary came back with his over- coat and boots and hat he told him to take them back and hang them up in their accustomed place. "My interests are not being hurt in that community; don't care how much they shout and go round at the church nor how many conversions they claim at the church, if the stewards and deacons are giving dances and card parties at their homes will get the whole business sooner or later" Yours truly, SAM P. JONES.

IS THERE POLITICS IN lT7
Senator Lexow's Query on Byrnes's
saloon Crusade.

Chairman Clarence Lexow, of the Sem
ate Investigating Committee. thinks he
sees politics in the sudden resolution of
Supt. Byrnes to enforce the Excise law
Has 1t ever struck you that in max
Ing arrests for violations of the Excise
law the police might be discriminating
against saloon-keepers who are OF the
same political party as a majority of the
members of the Senate Committee ?"
asked Mr.. Lexow OF an Evening World"
reporter this morning.
1T certainly does seem strange that
the Superintendent of Police should sud
denly determine to break one of the rules
laid down by the, Police Board for the
collection of evidence against saloon
keepers. and to me 1t is very significant
that such course should be decided
upon on the eve of the election.
Il do not object to the enforcement OF
tho law; but | have an idea that when
the head OF the Department openly de-
clares his Intention to disregard the
and when Commissioners Martin and
sheehan remain strangely silent. there
might be something behind it." a

denceT asked the reporter.
Pertinent Question.
Yes. II the rule is not a good one.
Byrnes Is placed in the position OF
breaking the rules OF the Department
and I hardly think he would do Sc
without some powerful incentive.
1T may be that fear OF public criti.
cism is responsible for the silence OF
Martin and Sheehan. i don't know
that Republican saloon-keepers are be-
Ing Disseminated against. But. then.
why this unusual activity Of the police
