Another murder in the prize ring, this
time at New Orleans, it is now reported
in the daily papers, has killed that brutal
sport throughout the civilized world.
Following so closely on the similar muir
der at Rochester, y. V, 1.-The whole world
is shocked, and from all sides comes the
cry for the suppression OF prize-fig hting. J"
The only suppression" that will be
effective is the punishment OF the muir
derer and all that are accessory to the
crime. In the case OF the Rochester muir
der, the criminals were let go scott free.
II this is done in the New Orleans case,
the outburst of sentiment will amount to
nothing. II will soon subside and the
ring will flourish as OF old. Outraged
public sentiment must be embodied in
the execution OF the law against the TAX
ing of human life. When that is faith
fully done these murders will cease, but
not until then.

Torrc.-A Christians problems and T>r,

Il A question box meeting suggested.
This life is LARGELY made up of mys-
Ceres. There are problems and perp!eEi-
ties Ia every walk of life, and the Chris
si... ...l is no exception. God has re-
vealad many precious things to US, and
yet in the spiritual as well as III the
material universe there are many things
that have not been revealed. 1t could
scarcely be otherwise. God is infinite.
We are finite, and if God had revealed
these things perhaps we would not have
been able to comprehend or understand
them. Christ practically said as much
to Nicodcmus when he questioned Him
about the mysteries of the regeneration
Of the soul, for He said, IF tell you
ii earthly things and We cannot under
stand, how can you understand If l tell
you Of heavenly things:
Still there is in the human mind an
intense craving, so far as possible, to TN
,derstand these problems and perple"l-
ties, and there is nothing wrong IL this
desire nor the attempt TO satisfy 1t, but
something may be wrong in the way we
attenaDt to solve these problems True
wisdom comes from God i'll some WY.
Solomon was the wisest man who ever
lived. and yet he obtained all his wis
dom direct from God. But God has Civ
IN as one even wiser than Solomon,
even Jesus Christ, His own Son, and
His wisdom surpassed that of all men
because He was God as we'll as man.
Therefore Christ should be our final
court Of appeal in all the problems of
life. When worried and perplexed, we
should 90 to His word to see what He
has to say upon the subject and when
He does not satisfy every desire or crav-
ing we should leave it all with Him
and trust God for what has not been
revealed The secret things belong I'M
TO the Lord our God, but the things that
have been revealed belong unto US and
TO our children forever that we may do
all the works of this law
The crnat lesson that these problems
and perplexities should teach US is sim
pie childlike trust in God God knows
what is best for Us, He knew what to
reveal for our good and whas not to re
veal. The secret things, the mysteries
Of life, belong to Him. Let Us leave them
with Him The things that have teen
revealed belong to Us. Let Us live up to
what has been revealed, and we may
rest assured that if We do the day will
come when We shall understand even
the Christian problems and perpleXities.
