AH Sorts of Obinions
Jesu. and the Grafters.
tRev. w. A. Bartlett, d. D.

REV w. A. Bartlett, ID. d.
On one occasion only did Jesus Christ
resort to violence in His three years
ministry. 1t was when He came in from
the hill country to Jerusalem and found
the temple, the center Of religion, sur
rounded by grafters. These men were
making fat living by the sale Of sac
rificial animals at extortionate prices
and exchanging money for temple coin
at rates that would satisfy the most
thrifty tourist or steamship agencies OF
the present day. The Lords indigna-
ton was so great that He personally
tipped over the tables of the money
changers and, making a whip of cords,
drove these parasites from the courts.
This splendid exhibition OF authority
on the part Of a stranger. who made
the horde Of traffickers take to their
heels, revealed not only the divine ma
ture Of the Master but shows that one
man with right on his side may put to
flight an army of dishonest creatures
who subsist on their fellows.
Graft is as old as Egypt-old as the
annals of man. It is more low and dis
gushing in. these days because men sin
against the greater light. In the Won
derful Passion Play, as given at Ober-
| ammergau, Bavaria, the great mob
which cries out Cruelty Him. while
melted by the priests. is made up OF
these same traders, who never forgot
that their unholy business was de-
stroyed by One who said: Take these
| things hence; make not my Father
house a house of merchandise" 1t was
| graft that crucified Jesus, hand in
hand, with a corrupt priesthood.
The church of today may not be I'M
der the accusation Of graft. 1t is un-
doubtedly purer. But men ought to
regard business and their dealings with
society as sacred as any obligation.
Nothing can be more deprayed and re-
veal such a lost condition OF soul as
this attempt to live off of others, to
deal dishonesty, to get money without
earning it.
| There are two ways to deal with it,
and both are necessary. First, the whip
| Of cords for those who are beyond re-
| demption They are to be driven forth
| with all the indignation of an aroused
public conscience. Jesus did not wait
for these temple grafters to reform.
They were old in sin, so He drove them
forth. Not one more moment would
He permit them to pollute His Fathers
! house.
| The second way is for the church,
4 business school, club and society in
general to train in honesty. The spir-
litmal authority Is always the great au-
thority, and it must be shown that
honesty is right and that dishonesty is
wrong Methods Of policy will fail
The most rigorous legal prosecutions
will fall short. Every boy and girl in
all the homes and churches and schools
are to be trained to believe that It is q
lheinous ofkense ir the sight OF God ant

INSULT TO CARRIERS.

The rural mail carriers out of Lake
City are terribly wrought up" over
the recent decision Of the postoftice
department prohibiting them to hunt
while serving their routes. One OF the
carriers in particular, who has been
accustomed to provide his home with
meat of the chase, such as yenison,
Woodstock, walrus and chipmunaS, says
that he will quit the service. Another
volunteers the information that caribou
and grizzly bear, etc.-especlally the
etc.-are so numerous along his route
that he comes back with a wagon-full
every day.

Mistakes Of Yesterday.


Forget the fetish Of yesterday and
make tomorrow your prophet to secure
the regeneration Of the race thru
the individual.
Why have so many people in this
world suffered shipwreck? Why are
our hospitals and orphanages full to
overf1owing? Because of the mistakes
Of yesterday. Yesterday produced these
moral and physical weddings, and 1t is
for tomorrow to remedy the conditions
which made them.
We must secure the regeneration OF
the individual by law or other method
That is all important. But to do this
we must stop creating insists. When
we have done this the relief societies
can go out of business. The subject is
a delicate one, but it is today appealing
more strongly to the thoughtful and
the humane than any other. Think OF
it! No stock breeder would proceed as
the race has proceeded. Should we not
use as much care in rearing humans as
we do in raising horses and cattle? Not
every one should be granted the right
to marry. A means for regulation must
be found.
We build expensive hospitals and fit
them with every scientific appointment
to care for the mistakes of yesterday,
but at the same time we are blind to
conditions in the tenements that are
making more and more of these mis-
takes. If we We're thoroughly conscious
of tomorroW's obligations we would
fight in every quarter of the city as
we fight in the hospitals to heal and
help.
But when tomorrow is the prophet
you will see to it that human condi-
tions, by law and by voluntary regula
ton, are such that the individual will
be given wholesome chance to grow
You will Danish conditions that breed
the white plague and other plaques.
When you broaden your charity from
gifts to the associated charities to the
point where you give your employees
healthy working quarters and your
tenements the light. air and cleanliness
that God intended for them you will
have become truly charitable.

CONSUMPTION AND "s1RlPpINes. .

A doctor over at Geneva, H., is urs-
ing a cure" for consumption. There is
SO much common ordinary barnyard
horse sense in his cure that ne de-
serves to have the publicity he Graves
presumably for the cure" and not for
himself. The Geneva doctors cure
doesn't include hospital or even a
corps of physicians, but merely. a good
COW, preferably a Jersey, and modi-
cum of common sense. The patient

the milking. the 'strippings ana
downs that quart Of concentrated Vi
rality warm from the udder. When the
patient gets fat the tuberculosis has
disappeared. "Strippings and outdoors
he says will do the business.
Any man who as boy mas milkeo
the family cow under direction of a
mother who made her own butter
has had instruction in the value OF
the "strippings" he was inclined to
view with contempt. Those strippings
were pretty nearly clear butter fat
Those last ounces which were obtained
by a stripping motion of the thumb and
foreingers along the length OF the
cows ~teat were properly considered
precious. They were the concentrated
essence of milk They are now. If any
food should fatten, "strippings' ought
to do it. And if fattening cures con-
sumption, why there You are, cured
when you are fat.
The past half dozen years has taught
us much. We have learned how insidi-
x,uslv prevalent this disease is, how
subject any and all of Us are to its
attack. With that knowledge has come
a general understanding that cure
in the earlier stages depends upon The
nerson afflicted, and that physicians
are only good advisers and medicines
non specific. The tuberculosis camps
are teaching the lesson that fresh air
fresh eggs and caution are the true
specifics.
To a person of moderate common
sense who wishes to live and is will
ing to try the jersey cow strippings

place beats all the tuberculosis hos

arv mortals. 1t doesn't contemplate g

room in a sun baked adobe town or {
lonesome perch on mountainside. The
camp may be on the city lawn or a
the edge of the wood pasture on the
farm, or on a vacant lot in the viii
lage. And it is at home where con
tentment adds it's healing influence.
