The Scientific Color of SIN
From the Indianapolis Journal

FROM Tie Indianapolis Journal.
The Methodist Ministerial Association, In
session ut the Meridian Street Church, yes
terday morning listened to an interesting
lecture by the Rev. John w. Milan on
''The Color of SIM" Mr.. Milan made the
assertion that scientific experiments have
developed that sin is scarlet. These
experiments were made In. the Smithsonian
Institution. BY means of a chemi-
cal process the perspration OF a per-
son aroused by sinful passion was
subjected to test that disclosed O
pinkish color. Forty experiments were
made and in each test the results were the
same. Some of the ministers declined to
accept Mr.. Milam's new theory, and one
member of the association asked If 1t were
meant that people could sweat out the evil
in them. Mr.. Milan replied that his as
sertions were based on scientific facts; that
1T was convincing argument that the
Bible and science are in accord, for the
Blhie speaks Of the color Of sin.

railway once. Burned.

The Norfolk and Western railroad general
offices at Roanoke, Va, were discovered on
fire Saturday and were burned to the ground.
The loss will be total on the building.
The entire machine works force was call
ed out to fight the flames and save the
office furniture, records, etc. The fire de-
partment could do nothing, owing to the
fire plugs being frozen. Most Of the records
and files were saved, as was also the office
furniture.
The cause of the fire is unknown, but it is
suspected an open CRATE fire in the second
story started the blaze.
