PRACTICAL ATHEISM AMONG
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.-Signs OF
atheism in the daily conduct of the
American people are many and striking,
says Washington GLADDEN.. in his book
Of addresses, The New Idolatry. sEvi-
dences of this, he says, may be seen
Gin the emphasis placed upon the suf-
frage and citizenship as right rather
than duty in "the growing lack OF
respect for law in the recklessness
Of partizanship, but, worst Of all, in
'sthe tendency to set at naught the
fundamental principles Of our democ-
racy by permitting the strong to op-.
press the weak. - Belief in God, -
continues the doctor. '1as the father OF
all men, is a belief that all men are
brothers.; and the attempt, Of some. to
prosper at the expense Of the rest is a
violent denial of the fundamental ar
tic1e of the Christian religion It is
DR.. Gladden's belief that nothing. but
practical recognition Of this Last
named principle will save the American
democracy from decay.
The DOCTORS book is, in short, pro-
test against the substitution of mann
mon worship for the worship of the
true God, that truest of worships which
finds its expression in action, in doing,
not CRYING. Lord Lord! - He pleads

There was once crocodile, old and stout,
And a trihe clumsy at getting about;
He was chiefly found in the River Nile
This cumbersome, cumbersome crocodile.
Sometimes all day on the sand he'd lie
Aud deeply and thonghtfully wonder why,
Then he'd smile slow, inscrutable smile
This emotional, notional crocodile.
IL a friend should come for cosy chat,
BE would noisily argue on this or that
His opponents opinions he would revile-
This babbling, scrabbling crocodile.
sometimes he would stand up on the shore
And sdeclaim ins,a voice like the ocean,s roar
His sonorous speech could be heard mile
This wonderful, thunderful crocodile.
You see, by his crafty and subtle art;
He made people believe he was clever ant
A smart
They praised his wisdom, his speech, his style

but none were of a serious character

CHANGES FAITH; NOW A NUN.
Omaha Woman Resigns Position ans
Gives $4,000 to Church.


Gives $4,000 to Church.
Omaha, Neb., Dec. 10.-Miss Grace
Waring, daughter of Methodist
of the Congregational church, has re-
signed her position as secretary to
Judge Munger of the United States dis
trict court, entered the Convent OF
Mercy in this city and will in due time
take the veil. She has decided property
valued at $4,000 to the Catholic
church. The announcement of Miss
Warnings intention to become a nun
came as distinct shock and surprise
to her family and friends.
Not even her most intimate friends
know when Miss Waring began to be
interested in the Catholic church and
to consider the question of becoming a
nun, but it is suspected that it was last
summer, when she was abroad. In Eu-
rope she met and spent considerable
time with two Sisters of Mercy
from Cuba, who talked much to her
about the church and it's sisterhoods.
and, it is supposed, led her eventually
to become a Catholic. At Rome Miss
Waring was granted an audience and
blessed by Pope Plus, and this, too, it
is suspected, may have Influenced her
become a communicate of the Cath
olic church.
On her return to Omaha from abroad
Miss Waring said nothing about
change of faith. She resumed her work
as secretary to Judge Munger and con-
tinued it until two weeks ago, when she
handed in her resignation. She first
went to Oskaloosa, Iowa, for a brief
visit with her father. She then return
ed to Omaha and entered the Convent
of Mercy.
