True enough. but how are you

I'VE are going to make a canvass

SPRING THOUGHTS.

When ! view the unclothed forest.
in the early spring time 1t calls ia
my mind the time
When God first clothed the earth
with green and sprinkled it with
flowers,
When there was no living creature
seen within its pleasant bowers.
Then by His word God ai,led the
earth
And waters underneath
With thing above the plants in
worth
That feel and move and breathe.
The fishes covered are with scales.
See how they swiftly glide.
With his vast tail
The wondrous whale
the waters wide.
Insects with humming MI the air
And sparkle in the sun.
The butterfly by colors fair please,
everyone,
the birds among the branches sing
And chirps the nightingale.
Redbreast shines with painted wing
The dove does softly wall.

In the solidarity of crime DR.. Boil
ling showed how the criminal ele.
ment with the dives as congregating
PAGES plan their depredations and in
turn are found and used for politi-
cal purposes by that lower element,
which always acts in concert at cleo
ton time.
As the complement Of this solidar-
ity DR.. Boiling showed now church
people, having listened to a sermon
sunday, turn their attention to their
business for six days, giving no heed
10 the demands of patriotism, and
when election time comes, vote with
their respective parties, thus dividing
their strength, while the under
world is voting as a unit and acting
as the balance Of power.
Fewer laws and better enforce
ment, were advocated by DR. Boil
ling. He commented on the fact that
when a condition becomes serious,
the good people arise in their might
and demand that some drastic legis-
lation be enacted. Then they rest
satisfied. while the laws go unexe-
euted.

peated visitations from the ghost OF
ner baby niece. Alice, who died last
fall, are believed to have been the
cause of the death of Mrs. Daniel
Clauer, who was found expiring in
her bed this morning.
Mrs. Clauer's family had been In
vaded by death no less than seven
times in the last two years. She was
in feeble health herself and the
death of her brothers and sisters
weighed upon her mind. She bore up
calmly. however, until last fall, when
death took her niece, to whom she
was greatly attached.
Five weeks ago her husband. who
was night engineer at the Ohio Odd
Fellows Home In this city. was
found dead, his body lying between

was soon after this that she told her
daughter, Mrs. Yost. That she had

Urban Problem Theme Of
Sermon at Methodist Church

of l were TO found modern

large enough to mouse kitchen
where women could cook, a reading
room, parlors. a gymnasium, and ev-
erything that could appeal to the
worthy desires of the masses of the
people and make the church the cen

church must become more institu-
tional. / am part of the church and
| love the church, but it is not do
ing much considering the great
work there is to do. Its influence is
not sufficiently felt and It has be-
come so adapted to the world, that
one sometimes can scarcely tell
where the church ends and the
world begins"
In these words the Rev. w. T..
Boiling, pastor of the Broadway
Methodist church. summed up the
impotence Of the good people in their
struggle against the powers Of evil
in municipal life. during the course
of his sermon last night.
His sermon was the second Of a
series on Civic Evils, and next
Sunday night he will speak about the
remedy. His address last night had
to do with the "urban problem, and
be minced no words in disclosing
conditions as they exist in most Of
the cities Of this country.
To three things DR.. Boiling laid
the system Of graft which permeates
most municipal governments: the
solidarity Of crime, the activity of
great interests seeking special priyi-

The corruption of legislators and
officials by special interests and the
infdelity Of public officials were
classed together by DR.. Boiling, and
ne added that much of the corruption
would be obyiated. If the people paid
their under officials living wages. He
mentioned the policeman in Mem
phis, who receives SOS a month, and
pays $50 a month for house renA

children suggest that this or Ntnat

ed TO admit before his family that he
is not able to provide for them. So
he goes to Jones. who conducts a
sa.oon, and Jones gives him SIS for
the grocery bill Another stands for
his meat bill After that he can not
see any wrong that these men do.
'The whole world is actuated by
this same spirit. continued DR.. Boil
ling. "The man on a salary is the
worst off of anybody. The laboring
men have had their wages increased.
but who has heard of the salaried
man getting an increase. It is in the
church. We see how cheap we can
get our minister We beat down our
clerks, and bookkeepers. and editors
and te.lers. Sometimes in this way
we tempt them to do wrong and
make Of them bad citizens.
Let us awaken to the true cond.-
lions in our cities.' he said "Coun-
try life and country politics does not
tend SO much to corruption. and once
when this was a rural nation we were
not confronted with the dangers,
which now beset us. But our urban
population is becoming cailoused to
these conditions that are gradually
