FAITH AND WORKS.

A certain preacher recently deliv
cred sermon on "Applied Christian
ity.' He used as an illustration of the
need for more closely applied Chris
tianity the de cline of the church
which he represented. He said in
part:
"We have INDUCED too much in
mere criticism, weed pulling instead
of seed sowing. We have been salts
fed with the 'leavening process but
people cannot live on sleaven.' They
need the bread of life. We have had
a simple gospel, but we have held
aloof from the common people. Our
message does not lack popular quail
| ity, put we have not possessed popular
gifts. Cur religious ideals are not
difficult to understand or organize,
but we have not administered them
with sufficient warmth to make people
care for them"
The speaker criticised the programs
of the great annual gatherings of the
church in question::
s'Instead of facing the practical
problems of religious nurture and
church extension, we have spent
too much time in discussing the origin
and permanence of religion. Instead
of proclaiming God, we have too
often debated the probabilities of
His existence. We ourselves have
cherished a positive faith, but in our
public speech we have frequently
spoken as though in doubt about the
supreme sanctities of piety."
Is not this very thing the secret of
much lost force in all reform bodies?
Christ never debated. He preached.
His greatest criticism of old ways lay
in the light He flashed upon the new.
The world cares little for argument
and debate. It immensely respects
action. "What are you doing?" it
asks of every new claimant on its at
tention. One saloon shut up will
bring more allies to the side of the
temperance workers than thousand
eloquent essays. Our conventions
are worth while only as they are
power houses where force is gener-
ated. When this is true, then they
are worth everything. Our weekly
Or monthly local meetings are of
avail only as they are emergencies.
To meet, to sing and pray and read a
little, to mourn the curse of the liquor
traffic, to pass resolutions, to raise
money even-this is not enough. Do
something!
Faith and works are the two oars
that propel the boat up stream. One
alone sends it about in circle and
the current drags it down to the falls.
Be positive! 1nroot your convictions
among men. Make your theories
sublime realities. Say little about
fallacies and failures. Apply your
belief. Emphasize the successes and
SO shall they be multiplied.

Don't give them tea coffee. Have you tried
the new food drink called GRAIN-O? 1t is deli

Better Laws.

We ask the Lawrenceburg Dem

apply to the entire statei If any
part of our state laws need better
ing it is that part controlling our
judiciary:
A matter that DR.. Harvey has
signifled his intention of bringing
up in the Legislature is a special
law creating "a Criminal Court for
Lawrence County with the county
Judge as Criminal Judge over this
Court. This will dispose of the
many little misdemeanor cases
that accumulate ON the Circuit
Court Docket, and which take up
the time of the Circuit Court that
should be spent in the trying OF
felonies and more important cases.
A Criminal Court would do away
with q large item of Jail expenses
since it would dispose of cases of
misdemeanors Immediately on
commission of the offence and not
necessitate o two or three months
feeding by the County of those
who cannot make bond.

Thoughts by the Wayside.

Helen Gould, who is lavishly,
though discreetly, using her great
wealth in many philanthropic
movements said in the Christian
Herald among other things in an
swer to the question "How to
make the most of wealth." "After
all, sympathy and goodwill may
be q greater force than wealth,
and we can all extend to others a
kindly feeling and courteous con-
sideration, that will make life
sweeter and better"
And truly she has expressed
the feelings of many of the unfor-
tunate ones, so far as wealth goes,
who have been the recipients OF
pecuniary aid, when a friendly
visit, a kind word, q gentle pres
ure of the hand would have been
far more acceptable to a famished
heart. 1t seems that great ma
ny of the Weather people think
they can pay off all their obliga-
tons to society and to their fell
low.creatures generally, in dollars
and cents. But alack! Methinks
at the general balancing up there
will be less to their credit than to
the less fortune-favored sister
who carried sunshine into the
home.life and mingled in social
way with those who would prize
a sympathetic word, genuine and
true, far above sordid gold.
More fellow-feeling is what the
world needs.
