A cAMPBELLITE sKY.BUsTER
Is Fined $1,000 and Put In the Peni
tentiary.

Los Angeles, Calf, April 3, 1905
Brother Moore:
Read the sermon preached In the
jail to the county prisoners last Sun.
day by Christian criminal who will
be behind the bars of San Quentin
penitentIary before this letter reaches
your office. This holy rascal shot his
wife's eye out, a little over year
ago, and she only saved her life by
jumping from a second story window
in the hotel where they were staying
at the time.
At first he claimed Il was an acct
dent, but the evidence proved him to
be a liar. Then he tried the insani-
ty dodge, but that also proved fail
ure, and he was sentenced to San
Quentin for two years and fined S.
900.
He has been in the county Jail more
than year, trying to cheat justice,
but God has gone back on him and to
the penitentiary he must go, where
he will enjoy the distinction Of being
the only rich man among the thous-
ands of convicts confined there. The
rich generally escape punishment for
their crimes.-S. A. SMYTHE.

SAME OLD STORY PREACHER
AND WOMAN.

Diamond, Ala. April Is, 1905.
Dear Heather.
The inclosed clipping is from the
Guntersville Democrat.
You see we are keeping up with the
band wagon. We are very orthodox
down here. We are not of the Savage
and Abbott kind of Christians. We ac-
cept all "the Book" contains-bigamy,
polygamy. concubinage and all.
A high officer here, betrayed a poor
orphan girl that his father had raised
in his home with him. He is now hon
ored, and the victim of his vile lust
could not be Sunday School teacher
If she was as competent as Talmage.
There are not many Infidels In the
country, but they carry clean records.

The clipping is as follows:
Blgamous EIopement.
At midnight Sunday John Jordan,
was reused from the slumbers OF the

woman who were in a desperate hur-
ry to reach Cullman. The man prov
ed to be w. T. Dyer of Reedbrake, in
this county, and the girl his 17-year-old
sister-in-law, Miss Eddy Adams. 1t
seems he ran away with his wife
when he married her, and now repeats
the feat with her younger sister. He
also left year old child for his wife
to care for
He added insult to injury by writ
ing Mr. Adams, his wife's father, a
letter of explanation stating that he
would marry Eddy. Dyer has been
a school teacher in this county for
some time and is also Missionary
Baptist preacher Mr.. Adams was in
town Monday trying to trace the fugi-

HOLLY ROLLERS ARE ROUTED BY
FORCE.

Waverly, o., April 3.-Fighting
viciously, me Holy Rollers, who for
four days and nights had been holding
an unbroken service in an unsuccess-
full attempt to restore sight to Annie
Kellison, were elected Thursday from
the township house in Morgantown by
the township trustees, who became
fearful lest the terrible strain of pro-
longed worship should overcome their
reason.
The trustees were refused admis-
sion and told that God had ordered the
Rollers to hold on until a cure had
been wrought. Securing assistance
and armed with clubs the trustees
beat down the doors and were met by
the frenzied men and women, terrific
struggle ensuing until they were over
come and forced from the building.
Several have become unbalanced by
the intense excitement and they are
under surveillance.
Great crowds from adjoining coun-
ties have arrived to witness their re-
markable ceremonies. Undaunted by
present failure, Elders Morris and Nc
Kibban announced since all churches
and public houses are now closed to
them that as soon as the weather
will permit an open air meeting will
be held, when they will attempt to
heal all the blind and dumb who apply.

WE EDUCATE FOR WAR.

A democracy spending hundreds OF
millions for warships and forts, for
armies and navies, is enough to give
joy. II we spent one-fourtth of this
treasure in schools and missions, the
whole world would soon be ours in
bonds of love and there would be no
need of these engines of death and de-
struction.
So says Professor Charles w. Dab
ney of the University of Cincinnati.
Glad to meet you, Bro. Dabney. Take
a seat and let's have little talk. Let's
get acquainted. | have read the above
lines and to the first sentence must
utter a great big, borrowed, Methodist
Amen. II devils are taking cognizance
of our undemocratic democracy, they
are certainly joyous, If they are cap
able of becoming so. One of our most
highly esteemed poets wrote:
Were half the power that fills the
world with terror,
Were half the wealth bestowed on
camps and courts,
Gi'en to redeem the human mind from
error,
There were no need of arsenals and
forts.
quite agree with the poet, Bro.
Dabney, but beg to differ from you in
your conclusions, and why? We are
annually expanding millions for
schools, but where is our harvest of
peace? In our schools is taught that
war is a part of human economy, and
in almost every school in the land a
portion of time is taken for drilling
the young men In the art of wholesale
murder, and he who discredits such
teaching and such practices is pro-
nounced disloyal to good government.
So long as our schools and our teach
ers cannot rise above the teachings
and practices of those historical per-
iods which were blots upon the pages
and a travesty upon human progress,
1t is folly for us to turn to our schools
for the remedy.
And what about missions? Do we
find anything more encouraging? To
be fair and not be misunderstood, let
me class together the work of mission
aries-home and foreign-and the en-
tire movement; the church militant,
and are we led to rejoice or to be
hopeful that the whole world. or any
considerable portion of it, is to be
"ours by bond of lover"
o, certainly, Bro. Dabney, If our
schools and our churches were what
they ought to be; but right here you
admit that they are not. You did not
set forth your proviso when you said
that IL we spent one-fourth the amount
on schools and missions the world
would soon be ours. etc.
We expend multiplied millions on
schools, Sunday Schools, sermons and
literature, but for what purpose? To
bring the world into bonds of love?
Nay, not even to justice and human re-
gard for human beings. We laud the
victor who is most successful in the
work of adding to the miseries Of man.
kind. In our schools? Yes, In our
schools, our Sunday Schools, and our
churches, and often we do the same
thing in our homes. While we believe
that:
The drying of a single tear has more
OF honest fame than shedding seas Of
gore.
But alas. we are not consistent.

ton: eff but one newspaper in FIVE
