go to make UP life. No man ever took
more notice of these Sights OF courte-
s:es than did Christ.
The Lord Jesus Christ rebukc1 The
hollow social farces at his day. and
stood UP boldly in the face CT public
opinion land condemned it all in no I'M
certain terms.
Christ taught a lesson of humility at
the feast where He saw, many OF the
guests come in and go Immediately up
to the highest seat and est as near the
host las possible. 1t was at this time
that He told those before Him of Their
foolishness in trying to push themselves
to the 'front.'"
iMr.Ccx said that Christ spoke against
the social evils of his day, and that he
regarded ut as one of the duties Of the
ministers of today to denounee the
same conditions which exist now.
It tell you,'' said Mr.. Cox, what l
think OF when you say society. I think
OF the card table, progressive eIchres

and the wine glass. 1 tell you. 1 be-

seem to some of you who have heari

man as IA contradiction of former state
inents. but it is not the new woman IN
the shape of Mrs. Lease but in reality
the old woman brought back again.
Il arraign society on account OF
gambling. Progressive euchre has been
decided by Ia court to be ganblln., pure
and simple. The card table has upel.ed
a door through which many have en-

and character. l arraign society be-
cause it strips manhood and woman
hood OF those things which they ought
to possess.
What shall we say of so-calIed

type of manhood OF womanhood which

would that I could draw a picture
and show you the possibilities of intel

God. so as to have those who have h=en
leading this false life bury it all right
now.
Jesus Christ in society knew how to
lead conversation to higher things. He
was master of converSat ton. This IS
something which we ought all to Gull

CHIEF HARDWOOD a PRESS CENSOR.
ale Prohibits Patrolmsn From Telling
About an Arrest.

About an Arrest.
The Daily Press stated Sunday morn
ing that Chief of Police HARDWOOD and a
SQUAD OF policemen had raid ed sseysrai
gam . alng houses. This statement wa
erroneous, not because sthe Dolly Press
made no effora efs al correct nenSr r1ss
put because the chief decided that the
public was not entitled to any informa-
ton in reference to the raid
The Daily Press learned Sunday
morning about O'Clock that raj had
oeen made. and a reporter hurled out
OIL tina Ctflce to- ascertain who had be en-
arrested. An officer who was a member
or the T1addlng squad was found but he
was as dumb as am oyster. He finally
|-aamitted, however, that :he chief had
prontolted him from telling a reporter
anything about the raid. That IS why
the Daily Press did no. state Sunday
morning who was arrested. For rea-
sons best known to himself Chief o. Pc
lice HARDWOOD suppressed everything in
connection with the arrest-:nfornNtion
that the public was justly entitled to.
The proceedings of the Police Curt
yesterday morning developed the fact
mat The mysterious raid resulted in the
arrest OF only one man-John Magee-
who was charged with running gamb-
ling resort over Uzzelrs saloon. The
accused appeared in court yesterday
morning, but his case Was post poned
Until Wednesday. He was represented
by Attorney K. NJ. Lett.
The Daily Press does not ask police
men to divulge secrets relating to GRIM
mails whose capture is desired and the
publication of which would be caIcu-
lated to defeat the ends OF justice. But
as "a newspa per, whose province it is to
disseminate legitimate information, the
Daily Press has a right 10 know the
names of persons who have been ar
rested. The policemen Of this city are
an obiging and courteous set of officers,
who are willing to facilitate the wcrk
of newsga therers and who have sense
enough to know THAT the press is an in
strument or great value to the police
department. and that reporters and Off
GERS of the law can cooperate with mu-
tual advantage. The chief has taken it
into his head. however. that the least
we have to say to newspapers the bet
| ter we are off," as he expresses It.

THAT 1T was the sick and not the well

was interested in social life to the ex-
tent that He took notice of little child
rem, and used incidents in their lives
as examples for Some OF his lessons
among them being the mimicks Of the
children in their play around the mar
ket places as they piped to each other
fie also told His disciples that unless
they humbled themselves and became
as little children they could not enter
into the kingdom of heaven What
the Lord Jesus Christ demands is not
that we ISOLATE ourselves from, society,
but that we go into society and try to
lift it up.
Christ rebuked those lacking in COM
mon courtesies in society. This was
done when He went to Simon's house
to dinner. He had been there but a
short time when He saw that He had
been invited. not because Simon really
wished to have the Savior to partake
Of his hospitality, but because Of ST.
mons curiosity to know what Jesus
would have to say and do
Here Mr.. Cox went over the incidents
connected with the meal at the house OF
Simon during which the sinful woman
came in and performed the customary
courtestes which the host had neglected,
after which Christ tells him about it
and shows him his bitterness.
1.-The Lord Jesus was a perfect gem
tIennan and He expected other people
to be. gentlemanly in their conduct
The people Of that day were particular

tended to guests. In the letters of the

Mr.. MASON'S CHAMPION.
Pugilist Mccarthy of Chicago Ready t.
Fight the Spanish Editor.

PugiIist Mccarthy of Chicago Ready to
Fight the Spanish Editor.
Senator Mason received telegram
the other day from Billy Mccarthy of
Chicago, who said that he was q prize
fighter in good condition. He had been
unsuccessful in arranging mill"
with any Of the "sluggers" around
Chicago, and SO he volunteered his serv-
ices to take care Of the bellicose Span
ish editor who has challenged Mr.. Ma
son. The latter is still considering the
proposition. The friends Of the senator
think that the Spaniard has the advan-
tage of the affair all the way through,
inasmuch as the senator has already no.
tilted him that if they meet in mortal
combat the weapons used must be ten
inch disappearing guns and that the
senator's person will form q much
broader target than that Of his adversary.
Mr.. Mason told all the correspondents
who asked about the duel that he did
not intend to notice it, as the Spaniard
was "too small potatoes to pay any at
tention to-" Nevertheless all day he
was besieged with suggestions as to the
weapons he should name and the place
of meeting. One of the suggestions was
that price of admission be charged tc
the duel for the benefit OF the Maine
sufferers. Chicago Record.
