An instructive incident connected with the new regime in Turkey k told in priyat letter from Dr. ]. K. Greene, of eunstantineple, concerning a judicial proceeding iu that city. One of the preachers attached to the great mosque Of Mehamed the tonquefor Ii4b3l began in one af his sermons to denounee the new order of things. He maintained that their sacred law must bc upheld, that the equality of Moham-
 nvions with inii,ieish could not be tolerated, and their women must he yelled and secluded as formerly. Then with q body of 2oo or soO men, all hay ing white muslin haand around their head io show that they belonged to religious order. he marched to the Sai- tan's palace. Imagine their surprise and dismay when his majesty appear cd al the window, heard what their leader had to say, then bade them be qaiet2 on their WaN back to ~Iamboul the crowd stopped the carriages of some of the ministers. voiced the same opposition to the new regime and re- ceived substantially the same com mand to hold their tongues.
 Finally the preacher and one of his ringleaders were quietly arrested, taken lo prison, and Iii due time brought to trial, on the charge of trying to over throw the government. The chief pris- oner claimed that hts object was not revolutionary. that he Aas simply try ing to uphold the supremacy of the Mohammedan law. He also claimed that he had seen visions of saints and was inspired, hich led his counsel to enter plea VI insanity. One can not help wondering If this Turkish lawyer had read about certain trials in our American eourts. Immediately The court ordered an examination by several doctors who pronounced the man perfectl, sane He and his asso. eiates were, therefore. judged guilty of treason and sentenced to death.
 The record of the trial was given in all the Turkish papers with fitting comments. Such lfisi and condem- nation was never witnessed in Constan- tineple.
 nr. Greene adds that this Is the first public contest between the old Moham- medan spirit and the new literal Otto man sentiment. but the Young Turkey leaders have openly brought the con. ieniion to legal test and won the vic tory. It is \ salntary lesson to those Turks @ho still hold to the old ideas.

SELF OR CHRIST. WHICH,"

With three additions to the church
the revival began yesterday morning
at the First Baptist church and il
will continue for two weeks with
services every evening. At both
services yesterday the church was
crowded to its capacity, and every
service promises to be attended by
large congregations The pastor. the
Rev. VI. T.. Dodd. will lead the meet
ing as he was unable to secure an
assistant. and for this reason no af-
ternoon meeting will be held.
Every day at noon from 1910 to
1880 o'clock a business mems prayer
meeting will be neld, and a large at
tendance is expected. The services
will be of especial interest to the
men of the congregation. Yesterday
morning Mr.. Dodd discussed self
or Christ, Which," II was an evan
gelistic sermon. and at the conc.u-
sion there were two additions. In
the evening he preached on Human
Responsibility" which was a splendid
sermon. Or. Dodd took up the dis
cusslon OF the responsibility of men
for their salvation, and said the more
educated the more responsible. He
said that a lack of knowledge OF the
Bible would not be an excuse for
salvation az 1t has been placed SO
that everybody may obtain knowledge
of the law of God. Special music
will be feature of every service. and
choir will lead the songs from the
new books secured for the revival.
The hour service will be held
in the lecture room OF the church.

clared to be the browning disgrace of
the present age. The committee,
however. doe not advocate manda-
tory Legislation, which will compel
the railroads to eliminate all their
grade crossings at once, irrespective
of the expense. On the other hand,
IL is urged that eacn state commits
sion take the matter up with a view
to working 1t out as it seems best, in
view of the conditions which pertain
in each particular state.
Strangely enough, the committee
does not advocate the railroads pay
ing all the expenses. but it Is be-
lieved to be equitable that the munici
palities, the state and the county or
carnations should bear a portion of
the expenses.
