Senator CRUDE yesterday afternoon
introduced his bill to abolish all forms
of capital punishment. He declares
that he introduced the bill on his own
responsibility, and that he was not
acting on behalf Of any anti-capital
punishment society or other organiza-
ton Of the kind. The question Of
capital punishment is one to which he
has given considerable attention. Il
believe he said. that 1t is time that
a civilized state like Indiana took adj
vanced steps in this matter II is time
to do away with inhuman practices.
Capital punishment is a relic of bar
barism The obpect OF punishment OF
criminals is reform and the protection
of society. These ends can be accom-
plished Just as easily without resorting
to capital punishment. BY life i'm
prisonment. the criminal is removed
from society just as effectively as
though he had been put to death"

counties. 1t had already passed the
house. Under the old law taxpayers
had the right TO issue ten-year bonds
in payment for the construction Ar
act Of the 1907 legislature repealed this
struction be paid by assessment This
law worked hardships with the prop
erty owners, who stood in danger OF
losing their property. but the passage
of the bill yesterday afternoon will re-
move the assessment hazard, and the
land owners of Jasper Newton and
White counties will have ten years tc
meet the cost of construction of the
ditch now being built.
The house and the senate will have
a party of distinguished visitors to-
morrow, when the Woman's Christian

The Sunday School Commentary


In t.h. Goose Il. s:Si chapter We
saw how TIE Lia. captain. Clsudius
Lysias. sent Paul safely to Caesarea
with Il letter TO Felix. the governor. il
which he stated that there was moth
ing against the prisoner worthy OF
death or Of bonds. but simply some
question Of Jewish law: that the Jews
would have killed him II he had not
rescued him from them: that he under
stood that they were still determined
to kill him. and. being Roman citi-
zen, he had sent him to Caesarea, com
handing his accusers to appear against
him there. After five days the high
priest and the elders. with q certain
orator to speak for them. appeared be-
fore Felix. and Paul was brought forth
to meet them. With some nattery
which evidently wea-ied Felix. and
therefore the orator cut it short. he
told a number Of lies about Paul,
which the high priest and the elders
Endorsed. Flattery aud lying are still

giouS bodies. But God is u God Of
truth, and in due time truth will pre-

Being permitted to speak for him
self. Paul denied all their accusations
and briefly stated the whole truth of
the matter. showing that it was wholly
matter Of doctrine and Of opinion as
to what the Scriptures really taught;
that he believed all that was written
In the law ard in the prophets and
looked for a resurrection Of the dead
both OF the just and the unjust. This
meant Jesus risen from the dead as
Israel's promised Messiah. the Son of
David. to sit on David's throne: also a

Our Technical School.

Recent years have seen vast deyel-
opment in the education Of the hand
In connection with the brain. Manual
training has been introduced into pub
lie schools. There are manual arts high
schools alongside the old type Of high
schools. and the schools Of technology
are rapidly coming to equal rank with
the colleges and universities Of the
arts. Now, all this should have its
parallel in religion. Tie Christian En-
deavor society was the first to take
up the idea and apply it to the rell-
gious training OF young Christians.
Our prayer meetings are where we
learn to speak for Christ. Our com-
mittees are where We learn to do other
kinds Of work for Him. The society
generate will soon have no prayer
meeting worth the name. Training in
committee work is a training in Chris
tan cooperation. A committee must
pull together. This is something very
necessary to learn If one is to labor
successfully in the church. Training
in committee work Is training il lead
ership. The trained committee worker
is able to get others to do things. This
makes him a most valuable worker In
the church when he grows up. Train
ing In committee work is training in
method. One learns that there is q
best way to do everything and that
usually it is incomparabIy better than
even the second best way Of doing the
same thing. The committee trains one
In patience. 1t trains one In ingenuity
1t trains one in perseverance. 1t trains
one to look for definite results. and II
shows one how to get them. 1t trains
one in the use Of tools. In short, it Is
a complete college OF Christian eff
cheney. II you want to become a well
rounded Christian. enter the Christian
Endeavor School OF Technology and
take the entire course.-Amos r. Wells
