This startling and emphatic state

The pastor was discus ing the with

wildly the history of the church
from the beginning, through the
pntriarchal and prophetic ages, not
ing the various captivities of Israel
and their numerous falls-aDd down
through the dark ages. ct, to the
present time. Mr.. French said In
substance, that the political corrup-
ton of today is rs deep, dark and
defiant as at any period in the

vote-buying he said: Your Sena-

ty in any State for any candidate

Tho News has been saying what
it could along this line for some
time, apparently without much effect.
We have urged the pastors and
churches to take some notice of the
growing and monster evil of vote
buying, as the only hope of putting
check upon it, 1t is n hopeful
sign that the pastors and churches
are turning attention in that di-
rection. Mr.. French said in closing
this splendid and eloquent sermon:
"You can't stop vote-buying by
law. There is law already against
it. What then is the remedy? lie!
the people who are engaged in it get
religion and then they will stop it,
and not before"
