Keep YOur Bodies Under Snbjection


IF thy hand offend thee, cut it
of it is better for thee to enter into
life MANNED, than having two hands
to go into hell, into the fire that
,SeUer shall be quenched.'
And if thy foot offend thee, cut
it off; it is better to enter half into
life, than having two feet to be
cast into hell; into the fire that is
never quenched."
And If thine eye offend thee, pluck
it out; it is better for thee to enter
into the kingdom of God with one
eye than having two eyes to be cast
| into hell fire.
| So few people realize how very inn
portant it is for US to keep our bo-
dies under subjection. When we
are not watchful of our bodies, we
not only sin ourselves but we lead
others into sin and temptation; it's
not only sinners that we lead into
temptation but sometimes the fol-
lowers of God, though it must be
one weak in the faith, but God says
in his holy word that he is watch

you had better be mindful Of how

that is, to lead him into temptation,
What fearful thing it is to lead
others into sin.
IT you cannot keep your hand un-

came very near ending his life.

bur would he heard from again be-
fore the campaign was over. If
elected. he would serve the people
to the hest nf his ability. and would
stick tn them or have his right arm
cut off This heroic statement
brought forth peals Of applause.
Messrs. Lazarus and Massey then
spoke, both vowing their fidelity to
the people if they were elected
But Capt. White, the gentleman
with the auctioneer voice, was the
orator of the occasion. In stentorian
tones and eloquence that would
drive Billy Bryan to the uncon-
ditional support of the single gold
standard, he plead the sacredness of
his cause. His voice swelled aud
reverberated in mellifous notes
throughout those stately halls of
justice; the walls trembled, the
lights quivered, the windows ratified,
the rats skeed added and the awe
stricken listeners rent the ambient
air with mighty howls. No synopsis
without tin pan accompaniment
can do his effort justice. He stated
that he had run for Alderman two
years ago, but was beaten. Before
that, however, he had served a term
as Alderman and was over faithful
to his trust. He was Chairman OF
the Charity Committee, and for
some cause had been given the
name of Aunt Charity" He al
ways tried to do his duty, and for
ten days at one time he laid aside
his work and trudged through the
snow and bad weather, carrying
wood to the poor and needy and
medicine to the sick. For this labor
he had received no thanks-he had
been treated unfairly. He had
heard it stated that before the Re-
form board was elected, saloons and
grocery stores were run openly and
in violence of the Sunday laws. He
talked with his friend Lander not
long since, and told him he could
recollect back sixty years, anC
during that whole time he never
knew grocery or saloon to be open
on Sunday. Why, to hear some
people tell it, our wives and children
were afraid to go to church on Sun
day! He had been called a mem

A good woman, Jane Parsons, was
anxious to be at peace with all, and
particularly wished to be on good
terms with those who lived near.
But Agnes Sanders was such a great
uews-bag, that her calls were neither
few nor far between. Nor did she
appear to know the way out when
she once got in. Jane found Agnes
conversation both Improbable and
disagreeable, for she made so free
with other peoples names. This
made Jane unhappy, so much Sc
that she began to dread Agnes COM
ing. She resolved to lay the matter
before her leader, who was not long
in prescribing a remedy.
Jane" he said, keep your
family Bible on the table, and when
she has been in the house long
enough, ask her to read chapter ol
a psalm, and pray with you"
Jane followed this excellent ad-
vice. Agnes" said Jane, ''you are
a good scholar I wish you woulC
read a chapter or a psalm, and pray
with me; it might do both of Us
good" ..-.
Agnes excused herself on the
ground that she was very busy. She
would gladly do so another time
when she could stay. We neeC
scarcely say that Jane had no furthe
cause to complain of Agnes gossip

DANA DEAD.
The Eminent Editor of the New
York Sun
Passes Away at His Home on Long
Island, After a Long and
Painful Illness.
He Was the Leading Light in journalism,
and His Independent and OutspOken
Manner of Expression Made
Him Famous.

New YORK, Oct. 17.-Charles A..
Dana, editor of the New York Sun,
died atshis home in Glencove, Long
Island, at :20 o'clock this afternoon.
Mr.. Dana's death had been eX-
pected for several hours, and his
family and physicians were at his
bedside when the end came. His
condition had been such for several
months that the members of his
family had kept themselves in con-
stant readiness to go to his bedside
at any moment.
Mr.. Dana was born in Hinsdale,
N. H., Aug, 8, 1919. He was de-
scendant of Richard Dana. His
boyhood was spent in Buffalo, NY,
where he worked in a store until he
was l8 years old. At that age he
first studied Latin grammar, pre-
pairing himself for college, entering
Harvard in 1889, but after two years
a serious trouble with his eyesight
compelled him to leave. He re-
ceived an honorable dismissal and
afterwards received his bachelors
and masters degrees.
perience was gained in the manage
ment of the "Harbinger," which
was devoted to social reform and
general literature. After about two
years of editorial work on ElizuT
Wright's Boston Chronotype, daily
newspaper, Mr.. Dana Joined tb {
staff of the New York Tribune In
1917. The next year he spent eight
months in Europe, and after his re-
turn he became one of the prOprie-
tors and the managing editor of the
Tribune, post which he held unit

Assistant Secretary of War, which
Office he held until after the sur
render of Lee.

sought by the proprietor of the
Chicago Republican, new daily
which failed through causes no
within the editors control. Return
ing to New York, he organized, IL

owns the Sun and became its editor

NEGRO DIALECT STORIES.
Stor PIayin, o, DAD Bnnio.

The young of the colored race seem
to think that it is their duty TO throw
aside entirely everything which has
even the slightest resemblace to the

great pity, for the traits which char

The banjo and the fiddle, too, as

when the old darky got 'ligion" he
charged up to the banjo all the sins
of every kind that be had ever com
mitted, but before his conversion,
from ever quarter on the plantation,
you could hear the familiar "plunk-
