The Dawn of Conscience.

The development of conscience has
been Interestingly traced in the career
Of q deaf mute who for many years
was quite uneducated. He thought in
pictures and had mental words for
only the fewest things. He had no
sease Of right and wrong. Being often
hungry, he stole food-that is to say,
he found and took it, not then knowing
that it was an offense to do SO. Small
sums of money he made his own in
the same way, and again he saw no
wrong. Rnt one day he took from q
butchers counter a piece of money
which turned out to be gold. He went
into a shop to buy sweets with it. but
when he realized the value of the coin
he snatched it up and ran away. He
was Mortified, not at the theft, but the
extent of it. In the end he buried the
piece and from that time stole no more,
The shock had quickened conscience
into life, and he needed little "con-
verting" when kindly instructors at
last took him in hand.-St, James Ga
zette.

Birmingham. Dec. 22--(Special)- Walter l.. Sessions, who led the prohib- ition campaign in Jefferson County. which includes Birmingham, winning out by big majority. upon receipt of an invitation from New Orleans to take part in a campaign in that city, has written 8 lengthy letter to leaders of the movement in the Crescent City giving some idea of how the work WAS carried on In this section of the coun- try.
 MT. Sessions expresses regrets thar he cannot go to New Orleans and take mart in the fight for prohibition. The letter that he has written gives de- tails of the organization of forces and me commencement of the fight. It goes into the ways and means of forming heat committees and the holding of meetings in public places where the largest number of people can be gotten together
 The assistance expected of the clergy and the church element. the help that ca be extended by the newspapers and other workings of the general forces for prohibition are stated in full in the letter. It Is not improbable that some of the workers who did so much in Jefferson County, Alabama, will so tC Novv orleans and take part in the cam. ns,rn when it Is fairly under way
