tratcs and trnants. ......
Malachi is the bound stone of the old
and the new dispensations.
The man who wrote the book of Luke
was practicing physician, preacher
painter, n reporter and all author. His
name Lucanus. For short he was called
Luke.

the Bible, where God speaks to man. In
the Psalms man speaks to God.
The devil himself was familiar with
Scripture. He also goes to church. For

al the church door. Foolish gossip on the
way home.
Jesus was the first Jew since Moses
time who said, but | say unto you. y

Elijah never lived better than he did
while in the wilderness. His food was
cooked in the heavenly restaurant, and
given to him fresh every morning and all
he had to do was to turn over and eat it,.
In reading the Bible carefully you will
find that there were no grayestOnes in the
land of Moab. To find them you will have
to 60 over into the land of Canaan. There
you will find Abraham. Jacob, Isaac
Joseph, Sarah and Leah. with a gooc

wants to die in Canaan.

The conclusions drawn by DIR. Fred
erick Howard Wines of Illinois, who
superintended the collection of statistics
concerning crime for the last census, oil
the causes of crime are very Interesting.
He says that the popular supposition
that the prevalence of crime is chiefly
due TO inadequate punishment and thai
the remedy for it is harsher laws and q
more rigorous administration of then
by the courts is not well founded, as
the statistics prove that in the State!
where the laws are most severe the per
| centage of crime is greatest. Ignorance Is {
cause of crime, nevertheless G,57 per cen
of all prisoners charged with homicide
received the rudiments of an education
| in English or their own tongue, and "a!
| per cent received higher education
Ignorance of trade is cause of crime
but 1l.35 per cent Of the prisoners wer
mechanics or apprentices, and a mucl
larger number have the necessary skill
to follow the mechanical pursuits.
1dleness is also a cause of crime, blu
1921 per cent were employed at til
time of their arrest.
Intemperance is u cause of crime
though a less active and immediate caus
than is popularity supposed. But 20,
per cent We're abstainers, and only 1913
per cent returned as drunkards.
"All of these causes" Mr.. Wines say!
"and others which might be named al
in fact only contributory causes, who's
operation is secondary and indirec
External circumstances facilitate q
hinder the commission of crime. The
operate as stumulant to the crimini
impulse or as check upon it. But ii
root of crime is not in circumstance
but in character. the saying of til

 Open q Crusade at Unce.

New Yorlk's Chamber of Comm cree is tC Open q Crusade at Unce. New York May 27.-The chamber oi
 commerce has decided to enter upon a
 crusade against free silver coinage. Its announced intention is to make at once
 definite issue between cheap money and sound money and lay all other ques- tions aside, calling uponI every friend of sound currency to enlist at once in the campaign against cheap money. The crusade is to cover every section of the country. A general committee of seventy-eight members, including leaders i'm every line of business in the metropolis, has been appointed to di- rect the line of attack.
 Among it's members are Isidor Straus Gustave H. Schwab, Frederick A. Con- stable, August Belmont, J. Pierpont Morgan, Carl Schurz, Cornelius Van derbilt, John Sloane, Anson Phelps Stokes, Morris K. Jessup and Edward King. The general committee includes an executive committee of nine of which Gustave H. Schwab Is chairman, and there are subcommittee in press
 
 and publication, on correspondence, on cooperation with kindred organizations on information of sound money clubs and on finance. MT. Schwab, in outlin- ing the position of the chamber of com merce, says:
 "The committee holds that they rep resept not only the New York business man. who can protect himself and make money on silver basis, but also the interests of the wage earners, the la borer, the factory hand, the savings and the savings bank depositor who cannot protect himself against the avarice of the mine owner. The com mittee does not discuss any plan of MT. Schwab is himself a mine owner. Francis Leon Chrisman, a former Washington correspondent, has been placed in charge of the com mtttee's headquarters.
