believeth in Him might not perish, but
have everlasting life?" or that other
passage, Come unto Me all We that
labor and are heavily laden, and | will
give you rest?" That preacher who
seeks for odd and unusual texts and at
tempts to preach ON topics that right
fully belong to magazines and news
papers may be sure that his pews will
be empty.
The other cause to which we re-
ferred is that it costs too much to go
to church. 1t is rare thing in these
days-although the practice is not so
prevalent in Tucson as elsewhere-not
to have some special collection taken
up each Sunday. Too many burdens
of this kind are laid upon those who
would like to go to church. The
average American church-goer is not
much interested in the heathen in
Asia or Africa, nor in the conversion
of people from one Christian sect to
another. When man subscribed all
he feels he is able to give, he does not
take kindly to having nearly every
Sunday some special call made upon
him for more money. He does not
like, to refuse to give, and hence stays
away from church. Not very long
ago nearly all the churches took up
collections for the starving subjects of
Great Britain in India. and this at a
time when Great Britain was pouring
out untold millions to conquer two free
republics in South Africa. People are
willing to pay for the legitimate ex-
penses of the church, but are not will
ing to be "dunned' every Sunday for
something else. Make the churches
houses Of God, where Gods truth is
preached, stop the promiscuous at
tempts to raise money, and see what
effect it will have on the empty pews.

THE DOUkHOBERs.

A singular phenomenon for the
twentieth century is up at Yorkton, in
British America, few miles north of
the Montana line
Sixteen hundred mefL, women and
children have left a village where they
had stored the bountiful crops of a
season, and where they had comfort
able homes, and have started out to
tramp over that cold and sparsely
settled country, ito find Jesus" They
have made their way, exhausted from
hunger, cold and loss of sleep, to
Yorkton, the people of which place they
desire to turn to the Lord. Several
of their women have gone hopelessly
crazy from exposure and hardship, and
the strange pilgrims sleep in bitches
and along the railroad track, so that
trains have to run slowly at night, to
keep from running over them.
When the news first came that 1900
Doukhobors We're marching on York
, ton, most people in the United States
supposed that some band of obscure
, Indians had been driven desperate by
starvation, and were resolved to kill
and burn to get food. But no, only a
band of Russians sacrificing everything
in the world in obedience to some re-
ligious impulse.
They wanted to suffer. In their dis
ordered minds is the glorious vision of
a crown of martyrdom. and for this
they long. 1t was the fear of the
Yorkton people, after their first terror
subsided, that their uncouth and un-
welcome visitors might grow violent,
selves, and thus die the death of reli-
gious martyrs.
This actual seeking for martyrdom
recalls the first centuries of Christian
ity, when over-zealous proselytes were
sometimes so eager to die for the new
faith that they designedly provoked
the hostility of pagans or of contend
ing sects, or voluntarily made them
selves known as Christians, so as to
fall under the rigor of laws directed
against them.
This thirst for martyrdom has from
time to time appeared in individuals
of the Christian and other faiths, but
it is seldom that fanaticism so tri-
umphs over nature as to extend this
disposition to court death through a
whole class or communion.
The DOukhObOrs are too late or in
the wrong place. They might have
been accommodated with massacre
somewhere in the early centuries of
the Christian era, and they might find
it now in Thibet or Sulu. But if they
persist where they are they will only
be marched off with as little force as
possible to an insane asylum Or to a
lunatiC reservation.

THE MOLINEUX TRlHL.

The taking of evidence in the famous
Molineux trial in New York was COM
pleted yesterday, and the lawyers will
begin their arguments Monday. This
! trial has become famous in American
jurisprudence, and the verdict of the
jury will be looked for with interest.
On December %, 1898, Mrs. Rather
inc j. Adams, an aged woman in New
York, died from the effects of a dose
of deadly poison administered to her
for medicine. The poison had been
sent in bromo-seltZer bottle to a
young man named Cornish, who lived
with Mrs. Adams and her daughter
and son. On the morning of that day
Mrs. Adams had headache and Corn
ish gave her dose of the medicine.
In a short time the woman died and
the physicians pronounced that she had
been poisoned with cyanide of mer-
curry, rare and very potent poison.
The bromo-seltzer bottle which con-
tanned this poison had been sent to
Cornish anonymously through the mail
holder. -.s... ....
| Soon after the death of Mrs. Adams,
Roland B. Molineux was charged with
having caused her death, tried and
convicted and sentenced to death. He
appealed from some rulings of the
| judge who sat in the trial, and the case
has been in court ever since. 1t is an
illustration of the theory about New
York justice that the a conclusion
can scarcely ever be reached so long
as one of the parties in interest has the
money and the inclination to continue
| litigation. Uuless justice is speedy,
it almost ceases to be justice, and is
apt to become rank injustice. If at
last Molineux is convicted of this crime
and executed for it, the retribution will
have lost its impressiveness. If it is
finally determined that he is innocent,
then he has been the victim of the
grossest wrong and persecution. To
be practically under sentence of death
for several years is a. punishment al
most as bad as death itself, and the
State has no right to infiict it upon an
innocent person. 1t is this delay In
dealing with cases, and especially
criminal cases, which brings the law
into discredit and make the courts a
mockery.

body, is swift to serve others and who
has mind that wishes to know why
things are as they are.
"Such women are needed In the home
tirst of all, for the woman who builds
home is as great as the one who
writes an epic poem. The trained wo-
man is needed In society. for at the last
the woman is the teacher by the laws
