upon on Sunday to conduct religious
service in the main dining saloon. Oc-
casionally the man of the cloth seeks
the purser and asks If he may conduct
service on the Sabbath A case of
this sort happened recently on one Of
the Red d steamers on the run from
New York to La Guayra. A young
minister who three days before the
steamer sailed had taken orders from
a seminary, and day later a wife
asked the purser If he might conduct
religious service on the following day.
which was Sunday. The purser re-
piled that the dining saloon was at his
disposal and that the passengers
would be informed cat what hour
shall the service begin?" asked the
young minister. The purser rubbed
his brow a moment and replied that
he could begin at mine bells" The
minister and his bride appeared In the
dining saloon at o'clock in the morn
ing and waited four hours for the con-
gregation. which did not come. On
the following day he listened again for

slaughter in allowing a child to die with
out proper medical attention. The Judge
said the question was perplexing one,
coming, as it did, into contact with the
religious belief of the defendants, but he
thought the trial had been fairly conduct
ed, the evidence was all legal and he con-
sidered the verdict was sustained by the
testimony. He said that while a parent
has the custody of his child, still he has
not the right to place the life of that child
in jeopardy through any particular no.
lions or creeds to which he may be de-
votee. The state of New Jersey has an
interest in the life of every child that lives
within its borders. The imposition of a
small fine was not to be considered az a
precedent nor was 1t to be taken as an in
dication that the offence was viewed light
iy by the court. 1t is possible the les
son may have good effect not only upon
these people but upon others who are
disposed to treat life lightly. The case
ought not to stop here. Prosecutor At
4inson, who is to be warmly congratulate
ed upon his success in this trial, should
use all the power that is In his hands to &C.
cure the indictment and punishment of
the "healers" who are equally,if not more,
responsible for the loss OF the life of the
innocent child than those who have been
convicted.
