COST OF CONVERSIONS.

Someone foo Chicago has recently
calculated what DO calls the "cost Of
souls" meaning thereby the anuua
expenditure Of money by churches Tor
the conversion Of non-church people
The price Is found 20 range all The
way from mere than q thousand doll
lars 10 a very few dollars "a soul %
course the money spent for church
purposes IN this country Is not en-.
tIrely for conversions. u Is for the
maintenance OF places Of worship
Sunday schools. etc. for the benefit Of
those already converted and their
children. Il IS therefore not clear
whether It is strictly correct TO Say
that conversions cost a sum equal 10
the entire expenditure Of a religious
denomination The calculation how
ever. reminds US OF a statement made
a few years ago by the Church Asso.
citation in New York. in which Il WAS
said There are few things In this
world that cost more Der head than
Christian converts IN a heather COUP
try For many years the Episcopal
church has been spending from $4,000
To $4,000 a year IN some fields in Asia
and is doing so today. Yet the total
number OF COMMITMENTS in one Of
these fields does not yet reach thou
sand That exceeds even the esti-
mated cost OF conversions in Chicaso.
Il Is characteristic OF our time 10

Of conversion hut the terms are

the money value Of something that Il

to mention that the performances to be

be by professionals, But, II II Is a fair

UNWRITTEN LAW.


The friends Of Thaw are reported
confident that he will ultimately
be acquitted on the strength Of the
"unwritten law" They mean that
even II he is guilty as charged and
stands condemned by the law, the
jury will disregard the facts and give
a verdict IN accordance with some law
not written.
What code is that? The country has
recently had terrible illustration OF
its application, In the Holy Roller
tragedy. George Mitchell was furious
because his sister had embraced tho
tenets Of strange sect. He killed
Crefheld, was promptly tried and ac-
quilted as insane, although It was per-
fectly we'll understood that the plea
Of insanity was lie lie was acquitted
on the alleged authority OF the 'un-
written law" But this nctitious code
worked 10 the undoIng OF George Nit
chell. too, for the widow OF the murder
Cd man. and Mitchells sister, decided
70 take his life, and he was sent into
eternity. shortly after the taking of OF
his victim. This illustrates what ''un-
written law" is II 10 the promptings Of
brute instinct. and the demands Of I'M
bridled passion. To dignity this by re-
ferring 10 II as law. though unwritten.
Is 20 construct an argument In support
Of murder
Lynchings present another illustra-
ton Of the operation Of that "unwrit-
ten law There Is, as Is asserted by a
writer IN Leslies Weekly, no part OF
the country in which the legal punish
ment for peculiarly revolving crimes
like that FOR which 50 many wretehes
have been lynched and tortured Is not
reasonably swift and sure. The old ex-
cuse for lynching-the laws delay and
unceTtainty-is no longer valid, But,
Notwithstanding this, the lawlessness
continues under the preteXt that the
demands Of an "unwriiten law" have
10 be satisfied.
Il is the yielding TO this alleged Law
that has procured for the United states
leading place in the number Of muir
ders committed every year. Only in
lower Italy and Sicily, where "unwrit-
ten law" also largely prevail DO kill
lngs occur more frequently. The Chi
cago Record-Herald points OFT that In
that city alone ls7 homicides were re-
ported last year. Germany, the Chicago
paper says. has only 50 per cent more
murders. England and Wales, with
sixteen times the population, have only
double the murders. France, with al
most twenty times the population, has
only three and a third times as many
murders. Belgium. with three times tbs
population, has less than two-third,
as many murders And Canada, with
two and a half times the population
has only one-tenth as many murders
These are significant figures.
II every individual Is to Justify act
OF violence by the false pretense that
they are permitted by a law not writ
ten. the reign OF law Is at an end
Juries that acquit murderers on such
a plea. are 10 a large extent aiding n
the establishment o. a reign Of an
archy.
