it was the clergy who goaded up the

commonly it was otherwise.

person as Napoleon ever

have been lawyer for forty years.
1t has been part of my business to study
the law of evidence. To my mind the
existence of Christ as an historic fact is
just as clearly proved as that of any
other great historic parsonage, and the
documents which record the facts of his
life are as authentic.
I am we'll aware that many nations
have had beliefs that are not unlike
some of those that Christians hold But
the best thinkers, it seems to me, con.
clude from this; not that there is no
truth in any of them, but that there is
some truth in all of them.
There was no doubt time when
many Christians believed in the literal
inspiration of every word in the Bible.
A critic who starts from this standpoint
will find many difficulties. But wiser
thought has led most Christians to the
conclusion that the Bible is a collection
of books, written at different times,
containing lessons in the form of history,
of poetry, of parable, and of proverb,
which does indeed contain the highest
divine wisdom but which also contains
human element, and should be studied
carefully with especial reference to the
circumstances under which each book
was written, and to the people for whom
twas primarily intended. Studied
thus, it is full of spirit and life. Christ
himself said that "the letter killeth"
But even if every reader were con.
vinced intellectually of the historic
verify of the gospels, that would not
necessarily make him good Christian.
The true Christian is such because he
knows from his own personal experience
that Christ now lives, and he loves
Christ and strives to follow his Com
mandments. My observation teaches
me that such men are loving, generous,
unselfish, loyal to duty, good citizens,
and good friends. Undoubtedly there
are many who go to church and are
called Christians to whom this descrip-
tion does not apply. Christ said there
would be such. "Ye shall know them
by their fruits" No doubt these men
whose Christianity is purely matter of
outward form, have done great harm to
the cause of Christ. But hope sincerely
that your readers, who get SO much
good instruction in politics will recog
nize the difference, and will believe, not
because they have read in a book or
been told by others, but because they
know from their own experience, that
"this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of
the world"

deeply and most subtly defiles the
soul, if we can point out and aid to re-
move most pervading form of it, we
may be in the way of doing most good.
The world moves and it moves for
ward. We know. beyond any cavil or
perad venture,
what strides we
have taken in material improvement,
and it stands to reason that our minds
have advanced in like proportion, since
there must be always relation between
the material, and the mental that i'm
pels the material. By general consent
and evidence, our sentiments have
refined and progressed from their earlier
shapes. Hence if there te an incoDgruity
between any prevailing sentiment,
which is clearly the outgrowth or nat
ural expression of existing conditions,
and one that merely remains as handed
down from the past, we may be sure
that the former is the genuine, and the
latter the spurious, to be discarded if we
are true to ourselves.
Such an incongruity we find, of the
widest range and the most intense de-

teaches, or used to teach, such ideas as
Fatherhood of God, brotherhood Of man,
the duty of love and the love of duty,
unselfshness, justice, and deal more

of the individuality, and that man must
live for something beyond himself and
the visible world. This teaching has
come down from a distant past.-esti
mated 1000 years-but in large part it
is more ancient than thirty centuries
ago. Honestly, are we to concern our
selves with it any more? We can hardly
say, from general appearances, that it
offers much obstruction to the march of
the grand ideas now so prevalent; yet it
may be better, on the whole, that we
discard even the semblance Of hypocrisy.

Want Morgan to Aid Settlement.

New York, May 20.-Whether tomor-
row is to see the beginning of a machin
lists strike that shall rival the one in the
engineering trades in Ergland, which
played 30 important n part in the open
ing OF the markets OF the world to the
Americans, is problematical. Leading
labor men and representatives Of the
leading employers eaid today that they
thought pending questions would be set
tied without any general strike.
1t was intimated that j. Pierpont Nor
gan might be appealed to and requested
to use his influence with the great indus
trial combinations IN the interests of
peace.
Meetings Of the machinists we're held
at various places in this city today to
discuss the local situation After get
ting reports from all the shops in the
metropolitan district, the conclusion
reached was that shops employing about
one-hal OF all the machinIsts in the
greater city would grant the nine-hour
day and the 1917 per cent increase OF
vagee without trouble, and that not
more than 4, 600 men at the utside would
go out on strike.
Among the big shops here where
strikes are considered among the poesi
bilities, are the Garvan Machine Co,
where about $50 machinists are employ
ed; the Hoe works, with about 800 ma
chinists, and the General Incandescent
Arc Light Co., with $50 machinists.
In Brooklyn, the Worthington Pump
works, with TOO machipists, may expert
ence strike while trouble is also ex-
pected at several New Jersey cities ana
towns.

The mecca of most Of the lay com
missioners was Calvary church, where
the assembly is sitting and where the
moderator, Rev. DR.. Henry G. Minton of
California, preached his first sermon as
the presiding officer Of the assembly.
DR.. Minton took for his subject the
parable of Christ restoring sight to a
blind man.
The moderator sounded a note Of
warning regarding the public schools.
God forbid" he said. that / should say
an i'll word against our public school
system, the safeguard OF our nation, but
is the educational machinery subeidiary
to the only worthy end OF fashioning
character? Have we, so morbidly afraid
OF uniting church with state, gone 80 far
as to dsunite God from the state? This
is most serious question. The faith Of
our sons and daughters is involved, and
the kingdom OF God in our country is
involved.

WILD THIRST FOR BLOOD.
Murder of a Neighbor and HIS
Wife, Fatal Assault on an
Officer, Then Suicide.

Evansville, Ind, May 20.-Everett Con-
way, aged 27 married. shot and killed
G. W. Garrison and wife in this city this
morning, and fatally wounded Patrol
man Benjamin Wallif. After being
driven to desperation by the police, Con-
way then killed himself
The crime was committed in tn Q
lower end Of the city. Conway and the
Garrisons we're neighbors, but had rot
been on friendly terms for several weeks.
Saturday morning Conway wrote letter
to Garrison, saying that he had cheated
his father in a trade for a milk dairy.
Garrison showed this letter to Conway g
father, who upbraided his sou.
Early this morning young Conway,
who was employed at the railroad yards,
going to the stabls where Garrison was
milking, shot him dead with a shotgun.
Then he shot Gsrrison's cows to death,
AS Mrs. Garrison ran from the house,
Conway emptied both barrels into her
breast. She fell dead at his feet.
The murderer then set fire to the Gar
rison stable, and then barricaded him
self IN his house.
When Patrolman Wallis attempted to
arr. st MIN. Conway shot him in the face
and side, inflicting fatal wound.
The entire police department was
called out and the officers surrounded
the house ready to break in, when they
heard shot. Conway had kissed his
wife good bye, then ran upstairs and
shot himself in the heart.
Conway came from good family. or
iginally from Kentucky. He leaves a
wife and two children.
Garrison leaves two children, and was
a prominent lodge man. ~
The shot that struck Wallis brought
injury to two bystanders. who were taken
to the hospital.
When tho coroner entered the house
after Conway had killed himself, he
found the following note which the mur-
derer had addressed to local news
paper:
"Weli friend readers, this will be news
for ycu. will tell you why. This man
Garrison mas bulldozsd the whole ranch
since he has been here, but he has run
against a snag when he struck me, so |
think ne will sink. He has got the
ranch under coutrol and he got it for
nothing. My dad gave him everything
he's got-house, whole stable, corner lot,
seven or eight COWS, horse, wagon and
milk wagon, and everything on the place
he has grabbed. He's run the whole
family away, and has caused my dad to
disown me altogether; run me out OF the
house after running ne away from. the
corner house two days before now.
Friends, would you stand any such
racket as this? Not me, by a jugful. l
am from Kentucky-you know what's in
those people now. He threatened to
kill me, 80 guess the jig is up. don't
