THE LEPERS.

Mayor Sam. 0. Jones of Toledo
speaks of the hopeless and terrible LOT
of the lepers on Molokaf. The terms
he uses are, relatively, not correct.
Thousands of people in civilized lands
would be glad enough TO exchange
places with the lepers. While these
unfortunate people are segregated,
they occupy large tract of land over
which they may move freely, and they
enjoy climate which is perfect Food
they have in abundance, and all have
comfortable residences.
The chief failure in the care for
them, has been, and is, in neglecting
to give them occupation. While they
are not able-bodied, they are capable
of doing light work. There is need
of a Superintendent, backed by the
Board of Health, who will contrive to
supply them with light work, which
will keep them out of mischief.
A governor of one of the Soldiers
Homes, of the Mainland, said, the idea
of caring for the old and infirm soldier
was patriotic, just and humane. But in
the Homes, owing to lack of employ
ment, they became restless, insubOr
dinate, ungrateful, and many of them
became vicious. He said there could
be no contrivance which would demon
alize men more rapidly than byherding
them together, feeding them well, and
then leaving them in idleness.
Had water supply been furnished
the lepers, some years ago, and the
Industrial missionary settled among
them, the fruit and flower gardens of
the Settlement would now be the mar
vel of the Islands The question of
profit would be largely incidental.
The chief end in view would be the
benefits Of occupation.
The offer made by the Press of Ho-
nolulu, of prizes for excellence in
cultivation of the soil, and the addf-
tional offer of prizes by Mr.. W. 0.
Smith on the same lines, are excellent
methods for making the lepers con-
tented.
Their lot is a TERRIBLE one, in any
event, as Mayor Jones said, but 1t
would be terrible one anywhere. So
far as he is under the impression that
the segregation of the lepers deprives
them of physical comforts. he is in
error. Nor, do many of them suffer
more than those who have chronic all
ments, and ill-health.

One of the writers in an eastern So

"One evidence. of the effects of these

in Iowa The people are wondering
what the other fellows will do for
but Ingersoll said all was
we'll that ended we'll, and this leads me
to say something about Tom Paine and
Ingersoll, each the leading agnostic of
his J.. day. The difference between
Paine and Ingersoll in their attacks on
Christianity is that the first dealt in
coarse abuseiwhile the latter displayed
epigrammatic wit. Christianity, how
ever, survived both and will be proof
against all such hostility to the end of
time. Both these men claimed to be
fair and impartial, but they were alike
permeated by sophistry, born of hate.
No man ever equalled Paine in hurGng
abuse and no other man ever equalled
[ngersoll in handling the epigram, but
each in his attack on Christianity only
resemble the man who threw stones at
the moon. AS a speaker, Ingersoll bore
much resemblance to Beecher. Both
were humorous and brilliant, but
neither had any power of argument. 1t
was this lack~ewhich prevented Inger-
soil taking rank with the greatlawyers,
and how foolish that man thus de-
fcient should attempt to assail Chris
tianity. SLoCUM.
