The Lawyer and Religion

DIR. Washington Gla lden Of
the First Congregational Church
OF New York, recently delivered
a sermon on "The Religion of
The Lawyer, in which he Wig
orously denounced those legal
luminaries who sell their knowl-
edge and influence to the Stand
ard Oil Company and other cor
porations which prey upon the
people. Among other things, he
said:
"There are a great many law
yers whose revenues are large
simply because they have earned
the reputation of being able to
obstruct and paralyze and defeat
the law Of the land-who are
recognized by criminal and pred
atory classes, rich and poor, as
their allies.
''It is the perversion of law,
the abuse of law in the sheltering
of malefactors from its penalties,
by which many lawyers enrich
themselves.
"There is no class of men in
our society more hateful or more
dangerous than unprincipled
lawyers.
when we think of the man
ner in which some of them hav,
sold their legal talent to giganti,
plunderers, how they have pu
their vast learning to the servic
Of men whom they knew to b
bent in perpetration of colossa
wrongs, it is hard for any homes
man to stand in their presenc
and hold back the flaming swor
of justice"

There's a real estate agent who

AWKWARD DINING IN JAPAN
The First Meal Partaken Of by an
American There Is Sure to
Be Trying.

IF it's your first Japanese dinner you're
having dreadfully hard time In the
first place, writes Bertha Runkle, in
Child Life i'll China and Japan" you
must sit on the floor. for they don't have
any chairs in Japan. You kneel down.
and then you turn your toes in till one
laps over the other, and then you sit
back between your heels. At first you
are quite proud to find how well you 90
it. and you don't think it's SO very un-
comfortable. But pretty soon you get
cramped, and your legs ache as if you
had a toothache in them. You don't say
anything, because you think that if the
Japanese can sit this way all day long,
you ought to be able to stand it a few
minutes. Finally both you feet go to sleep
and then you can't bear it a moment lon
ger, and you have to get up and stamp
round the room to lrive the prickles out
OF your feet. and all the dancing girls
giggle at you. This isn't your only trou-
BILE. either All you have to eat with is
pair of chopsticks. and you're in terror
lest you spill something on the dainty
white mating floor Now the floor of a
Japanese house ISL just the floor; it's
the chairs an6 sofas and tables and beds
as we'll At home it would be mortity-
ing enough to go out to dinner and spill
something on the floor; but in Japan,
where people sit and sleep on the floor,
it seems even worse. So you are unhappy
till your little nesan (who is the waitress,
and almost as prettily dressed as the
dancing girls, but not quite) comes
laughing to your aid, and shows you how
to hold your chop-sticks. After that you
manage nicely the rice and the omelet,
but the fish and the chicken you can't
contrive to shred apart without drop
ping your chop-sticks all the time. So,
between, dances, the maiko-little girls
about - years old-kneel down beside
you and help you. They can't keep from
giggling at your awkwardness; but you
don't mind--you just giggle, too; and
everybody giggles and has lovely
time.

its vitals. You now see only defeats
on land and sea; We look upon mis-
cry that brushes millions.
1t is not enough that our brothers are
perishing by thousands in a foreign
land, paying with their blood for the
perfidy of that government which tore
from them their freedom and their
fatherland. Our people are brought to
the last stage of misery. Tens of thou

not feed their children-walk the streets
of Warsaw and LODI.
Yet there is not enough misfortune.
Mobilization is announced. Another

Savage Despair.
You cannot imagine the savage de-
spair which. overpowers the masses torn
from the plow, from the hearth, from
wife and children. If we are going to
perish, let us perish in our own country!

they take US. They clamor to the peo-
pie of Warsaw. We are not going to de-
fend Russia. Our country is here!"
You do not know that women throw
themselves under the wheels of the
trains that carry their relations to the
far east; that cases of sudden death
and madness occur every day; that in
Pultusk, CzanstochOwa and LODI, SOL
diers fired into the people and killed
many. In Gostynin, when the order was
given to decimate the resisting reserves,
the colonel, Dzwonkowski, Pole, shot

1t is false that defenders not Of the

not Russians but peoples prosecuted by

should escape the vigilance of the Rus
sian army and police, but the precau-
lions would have all proven fruitless
had it not been for his own powers of
endurance, his determination to escape
military service for hated ruler and
the assistance of a devoted wife, who
managed to throw the officers off the
scent until her husband should be well

A WARNING INSTRUMENT.
It Registers the Slightest Move
ment Of Milan's
Duomo.

The fall of the Campanile of Venice
aroused terror in the breasts of all
those who have the care of the old
buildings of Italy, and it was specially
felt in Milan The authorities. to re-
assure the Milanese about the Duono,
at once had an instrument fitted up
which registers the slightest move
ment The mechanism is one of the
most delicate imaginable, and most
wonderful It shows oscillations pro-
dueed by the winds, and the most imper-
ceptible inclinations in the pinnacles It
is hung in the highest pinnacle, and may
be called the pedulum register. In itself
it is of great weight. and very strong,
thus obviating movements of it's own,
and is nearly 60 feet long, but at the
same time is, as indicated, very sensi-
tive At once, when put in position. it
showed the periodical movements of the
whole cathedral through the action of
the sun on the stone. Who would have
believed that this were possible. but it
is! While, strangely enough such be-
ing the fact, it is also shown that.
through the special way in which it is
constructed, the chief pinnacle resists the
action of the wind better than an ordi-
nary tower.
Special care has been taken that the
point of suspension of the instrument
shall not vary with the years. Thus
Milan feels safe. Her great church can
not fall without fair warning.
