men who never attends church and pro-
fesses no religion, that fact is not men
toned in the accounts of the crime.
1t is too common to call for comment.
AS rule, the religious men who engage
in crime do not go into evildoing with a
plunge. 1t is a gradual deterioration,
a falling step by step from grace; a
yielding to one temptation which in
wolves further transgression.
Most of the so-called religious men
who rob banks and betray trusts are, OF
course, hyporcrites. Why does such a
man profess to be religious? Because
religion is held in such high esteem
among men that bad persons profess to
be religious in order to gain the conf
dence OF those they expect to betray
What tribute to religion! Does the
wrongdoing of a hypocrite, or OF a man
who processes religion, discredit relig-
ion? Not in the least. 1t gives occa-
sion to the enemies of the Lord to bias
pheme, but that is all. Such an occur
renee exhibits the frailty of human ma
ture, but it does not weaken the faith
of mankind in the things which are I'M
seen. Men hold on to their faith in
God and Heaven sometimes unconsci-
ously. The protesting infidel is seldom
one in reality. 1t is seldom that one
can be found who is SO convinced in his
unbelief that he is willing for his child
rem to be trained in infidelity. 1t is
rare that a man is so irreligious as to
lose true religion and his super
ior confidence in really religious
people. Few men are so irreligious as
to wish to see their wives and children
processing infidelity. AS a rule, man
prefers to employ in positions of trust
and responsibility those who belong to
a church. Many railroad companies en-
courage their men trainmen, trackmen
and ALTO establish Christian associa-
tions, and it is done with the design
of increasing the conscientious discharge
of duty. In every community a great
majority of the leading and enterprisirg
citizens who do most for the public
are active and consistent members of
some church.
Human nature is weak, and the
thoughts of the hearts of men are evil
continually and thousands fall from
their high estate. Nevertheless, the
foundation of God standeth sure.

Comment is needless
There is another set of misrepresenta-
lions of our Church which the editors of
the Observer and others are making with
view of obtaining favor for the "Arti-
cles of Agreement" 1t consists in the con-
slant use of the phrases isolation" "be-
ing in shell" apart from all Gods peo-
pie, without fraternal relations and
the like to describe the attitude of our
church. Such phrases as these are seen
in the columns of newspapers, are heard
on the floors of our Church courts and in
private conversation, until some of us
are heartsick and indignant at the injus-
tlce done by them. Our Church is a mem
Der of The General Presbyterian Alliance
1t has had fraternal correspondence with
the M. E. Churches, North and South;
with the U. P. and Free Churches of Scot
land; with the Reformed Episcopal
Church in the United States; with
the Cumberland Church. We have
been on terms of fraternal rela-
lions and correspondence with the
Northern Presbyterian Church ever
since 1882, and on terms of actual CO.
operation since 1889. This last remark
applies also to the Reformed (Dutch)
Church with earlier dates. In no sense
is our Church any more isolated, in
shell, separated from Gods people, than
any denomination of Christians in this
or any other country. If it can be shown
that the Charlotte Articles of Agreement
are good thing; that it will be advan-
tageous for our Church and for the cause
or Christ that we should enter into this
closer and special kind of federal union
with other bodies, so be it. Let it be so
shown, and let us act accordingly. Rut
some of us think it is poor cause which
needs to be sustained by reiterated mis-
representations of our Church.

GOLD MEDALS GIVEN TO MR..
DAVIS AND COACH DEMPSEY

One of the pleasing features, an outcome
or the recent middle states regatta, was the
presentation last week of handsome gold
medals to Mr.. Clarence Dunbar Davis Of
the Potomac Boat Club and Mr.. Patrick a.
Dempsey, the efficient coach of the same
organization. The medals were in the ma
ture of fobs and were reproduction of the
costly medals given in the middle states
and both came from the Potomac Boat
Club as tokens of esteem of the members
for the services rendered by both parties
during the regatta The service rendered
portat1on committee, as he sacrificed his
chances in two races to see that every de-
tan in handling the immense number Of
shells, oars. Triggers, etc, was successfully
carried out. The task was big one and
was so we'll handled that not Single acct
dent of any kind occurred.
Inc medal given to Coach Dempsey was
bestowed because, away and beyond his
service as coach, he devoted his time, serv-
Ice and energy to keep the men in training
and In the face Of many Instructions, pro-
duced the fastest crew the club has ever
sent INTO regatta-at least the crew made
the best time ever made by a Potomac
crew, OF any class, and won the race by
ecilpsing the time ever made by junior

nouncement that Wreford- Brown. the cap

closed its tour in America. would bring over

players next spring to play the different
members of the Intercollegiate League. The
British opponents of this game are very
much interested In its success, especially
among the collegians, and have promised to
give 1t every encouragemen in their power.
In spite Of the fact that soccer can be
played only in the WI. ter and spring, IT is
getting a very firm foothold In the east.
The game has beer too poorly played In
previous years to enable 1t to win its way
with the intercollegiate public. But the
exhibition games of the Britons have
largely overcome this handicap. and with
the improved playing of the college teams
the outlook is very much brighter. At
present Haverford is the Intercollegiate
champion. the little Quakers having won
this honor twice In succession.
