 Buoyant hopes fill the hearts of the
 members of the Church of Christ for the coming year. During the past
 year of 1907 much work has been &C., complished, and the New Year has already started with promise of great things for the Church in Montgomery. At the services held at the church
 on the first Sunday of the New Year
 there were four new members added to the congregations; three by con-
 fession of faith and the fourth identi- fled himself with the church. To the three members joining the church by confession of faith the service of bap- tism was administered.
 The church building has been over hauled thoroughly. and a new heating apparatus has been installed and put into commission.
 At the II o'clock services in the church this morning the pastor, Rev. J. D. Dunn, assisted by Elder J. NJ. Barnes. will have heart to heart talk with the members instead of the regular morning sermon. To this end full attendance Ms urged upon the members of the church, and in addition to which the public is invited to be present. The pastor particularly in- vited strangers to mee with him.

is v1v1sECrToN NEoEssARY,

A British writer in the Contemporary
Review. gives figures which tend to
show that in diseases to which viyi-
sectionists are devoting their attention.
a decrease in the number of deaths is
not evident. The statistics quoted
cover investigation of the mortality re-
ports from 1886 to 1905, and give the
quoted death rate in England per mill
lion people for various maladies con-
corning which distinct claims have
been made for beneficial discoveries
through vivisection. The following in
crease in mortality from diseases which
the vivisectionists give as their excuse
are shown for 20 years as follows:
Anthrax increased from to IA;
cancer from 632 to 1854: diabetes, 624 to
SS.Z; CHAMBERS, 4.8 to "a; diseases of
thyroid body, to 1875; tetanus, 1.8 to
OF; dlphtheria up to the time anti
toxine was introduced, increased from
1886 to 1900 from 121 to 272.
On the other side of the argument
this writer claims that in the disease
where vivisectionists have made no
experiments. the death rate has drop
ped; bronchitis from 1926 to 1927;
meningitis. from 316 to 1874; scarlet fe-
Yer, 241 to 126; typhoid, from 17s to 11s;
whooping cough, from 444 to 300 and SO
on.
This Is the fairest kind Of argument.
The only Justification for vivisection
which entails horrible cruelty and suf-
ferfng on animals, is that it Is pro-
ducing results. If. as claimed in this
article it is not reducing the death
rate, 1t should be allowed to continue
only under the most careful supervis-
lon and In the most restricted form.

tempt to prevent corruption by secret
contributions to political campaign
funds. Everyone who has had any ex-

Of the campaign fund. Every candi-

must be more advertising, more liter

Most of the candidates for political
office are not wealthy men. Not one
in a thousand could afford to spend the
amount which is spent in the endeavor
to secure his election. The competition
has become SO expensive that every
available financial resource must be
tapped. Hence campaign contributions
from men who are not seeking office

The reason for the great campaign
