HUMAN JUDGMENT WIDELY
Different FROM DIVINE
Man Prouounces Verdict from Out
ward Appearances, but God Looks
Into the Dark Secrets of
the Heart

sDr. Ira Landrith, secretary of the
Presbyterian Brotherhood of America,
preached an eloquent sermon yesterday
morning at the Westlake Presbyterian
church, taking as his text, MAN look
eth on the outward appearances, but
the Lord looketh on the heart"
DR.. Landrith spoke at length on the
idea that mans ideal had not been
Gods ideal. This, he said, was illus
trated in Gods choosing David rather
than Saul as king of Israel. And while
God, looking into David's heart, knew
that he was not sinless, he gave him
the preference. The speaker said that
he had pondered long over this truth
and had come to the conclusion that it
was because when David knew himself
in the wrong he repented genuinely.
I'VE people of today" said the speak
er, "have to judge other people by out
ward appearances. We cannot read
the heart, and therefore we must judge
people by the result of their lives
by their fruits We shall know them
ut is so easy to misjudge and criti-
else when we do not, and can not, un
derstand the secret motives of man
kind. How we should praise God that
there is One in sympathy who does
know and who does sympathize. We,
not knowing, cannot sympathize. But
God knows our weaknesses and re-
members that we are dust and watches
over us every minute. Just knowing
that God knows makes 1t easier for US,
and when we cannot understand our
selves we may know that he, the all
wise Father, understands u.s."

This gauntlet must be run every
morning as long as the prisoner re-
mains in Jail.
"Linwald, another of the Socialist
prisoners, was attacked in his cell by
a jailer and brutally beaten for re-
marking that Socialism would do away
with the chain gang. One man on the
chain gang went insane and struck
another prisoner on the head with
club, infiicting an injury from which
the victim has since died. The insane
man was put back into the Jail and

Make Crime Business
Criminals are put in charge of
criminals. Men are thrown into the
dungeon on the slightest offense. A
young man at religious services that
were being conducted there told the
young woman who was trying to con-
vert him that he could not believe in
her God She reported that he had in

the dungeon and put on bread and
water. A business in crime is built
up. Men are fattening on the misfor-
tunes of the poor.
innocent men are arrested on 'sus-
picion,' are thrown into Jail and held
incommunicado' until, by bribery,
they are allowed to get in touch with
friends who bail them out. Sometimes
the bail is unnecessary, depending, as
it. does, on the amount of bride.
Hundreds of men are in jail for no
other crime than that of being poor
having no visible means of support. If
a man has no job he is liable to arrest.
He will be put on the chain gang to

death IS BEAUTIFUL"
SAYS WOMAN WHO DIED
SEES FRIENDS WHO WERE LONG
SINCE DEAD
Mrs. McNuIty, Revived After Animal
ton Had Been Suspended One
Hour, Declares She "Went
Far Away"

NEW BRITAIN, Conn.,, July 26.-To
all appearances Mrs. William McNulty
was dead for one hour on Saturday aft
ternoon. This is admitted even by her
physician, DR.. Thomas Mulligan, a
hard -headed, Unconditional person who
seeks only scientific facts. He says
hers was remarkable case of sus-
pended animation; the more remark
able because while her body seemed to
have become but a shell of clay, her
mind was active.
"Oh, [ have been far away" she
sighed, when speech was restored to
her. Do not be afraid to die; l have
never experienced such a blessed SEN
sation.
Psychologists, spirituallsts, those who
seek to raise the veil from what has
been the unknowable, can study these
facts:
Mrs. McNulty, about 60 years old, 10
as estimable as unimaginatiVe; she
loves her family and her home. Her
friends and neighbors esteem her
highly. She has been ill. While seated
In chair Saturday afternoon sne Pc
came unconscious; her family, IN
tensely alarmed, hurried messenger
for DR.. Mulligan, who has been treating
her.
Seemingly She Had Died
On examination the physician found
that she had ceased to breathe. He
detected faint pulse at her wrist but,
quickly, that disappeared; her heart
had stopped beating; seemingly she
was dead. Her mourning family began
to arrange for the funeral.
But Dr. Mulligan was not perfectly
convinced that he had lost his patient.
He sent for his electric battery and APP
piled a very strong current to the APP
parently lifelesS woman.
Seventy minutes had passed since she
lost consciousness, when the muscles
of her neck twitched slightly. DR.. Null
ligan continued to apply the current;
in five minutes more Mrs. McNulty
made a deep inhalation, then breathed
family, but regularly; then she re-
gained consciousness.
Saw Friends Long Dead
Mrs. McNulty was asked where she
had been and whom she had seen. She
answered quite nationally that she had
seen many people, some old, some
Young, and among them her mother
and a relative who had been dead for
thirty years. She said she spoke to
them and was intensely delighted with
the conversation.
She was asked if her journey had
been pleasant, and she answered that
ii had, and in describing the place
where she had been she said 1T was
beautifully illuminated, not by the sun,
moon or stars, but by a most peculiar
light, remarkable for it's beauty and
brilliancy

GIRLS QUEER PRANK
CREATES AMUSEMENT
Jamaicans Forget 1t Is Raining When
She Lets Her Hosiery Be
Seen Through Sheath
Skirt

NEW YORK, July 26.--With screams
sheath gown, slashed literally at one
side, rode along Jamaica avenue, ia
maica, through the rain yesterday, her
trinity shod feet and daintily hosed
limbs dangling from the front of
baby Carriage, while her Merry Widow
hat was crushed inside the vehicle.
Men who had hastily sought shelter
ran out to get better view OF the I'M
usual sight.
There was an outing at Distler's
West End yark in the afternoon. When
the storm broke, between and 5
o'clock, there was a general scattering
for shelter. Several young women,
among whom was Miss Sheath Gown,
ran up Jamaica avenue to the Long
Island railroad freight sheds.
After waiting some time Miss Sheath
Gown said to girl who was with her:
We'll, 1t seems to be keeping up. /
guess I'll take my carriage, If you'll
drive. Mamie"
Mamie was willing. and so the girl,
whose figure left nothing to be desired
as to SYMMETRY and little to be guessed
at as to contour, managed to climb into
a baby carriage which happened to be
standing in the shed. OF course, her
feet hung out in front, while the hood
covered her laughing face.
Mamie, no was already drenched by
the rain, grasped the handle and
started merrily along Jamaica avenue.
There were cheers from the sheds as
the two started. Men, seeing the latest
fashion in hosiery, forgot 1t was rain
ir~ and ran to the curb to get a better
view.
Don't cry, baby" said Mamie, sooth-
ingly. Naughty mans won't hurt 'oo."
Cool" gurgled Miss Sheath Gown
gleefully. She was fairly dripping with
good nature and rainwater.
Followed by bedraggled procession
of men the girls paraded for a block or
so, then returned At the first slight
letun in the storm they took a trolley
car for BROOKLYN. The conductor near
ly fell off the platform when the sheath
gown and its wearer boarded the car.

And after him went Doctor Nansen, his
tongue hanging out, but sparks of mer-
riment in his eyes. And down the
slopes they scampered, the bear Shut
fling always just little behind and
the dog wheeling and lodging as the
big fellow was about to catch him.
Companions in Misery
After while the dog grew tired of
the sport. He came to halt by the
side of the pool. Doctor Nansen slowed
up, too, and they lay down together,
the dog and the bear. Keeper Spicer
left them there to go in search of
new breakfast for Doctor Nansen.
When he returned the dog was still
there. He tossed the meat inside the
cage and Doctor Nansen. for the first
time since his arrival. began to eat.
He ate every scrap, while the dog
watched him. And then they went TO
sleep. side by side.
Later in the day, when the crowds
began to arrive, the dog woke up and
left the cage. But Spicer was watch-
ing. He called the dog and mace
friends with him. The little fellow
hung around all day, now and then
going in to have romp with Doctor
Nansen. Keeper Spicer says he will
adopt the dog. He is now considering
what its name shall be.
A few weeks before Doctor Nansen
arrived a pair of swallows built their
nest in the little cave in the rear OF
the bear cage. The female swallow
laid four eggs and was incubating
when Doctor Nansen was put in the
cage. The swallows became greatly
excited. But Doctor Nansen paid no
attention to them and it is unlikely
that he will disturb their home.
The male bird has been flying in and
out of the cage, giving the bear wide
berth. The female is still attending
to her incubating.
