PASTORS DISAGREE
One Says Junkin Hanging Was Just
Another Calls IL Barbaric

Des Moines, Iowa.--That Sheriff
Clark Of Appanoose county did the
right thing on the 10Th ult. when he
hanged Junkin, the murderer of Clara
Rosen, the Ottumwa girl, was the
verdict Sunday morning of the Rev.
w. r. Coventry of the Clifton Heights
Presbyterian church.
The Rev. Mr.. Coventry took the
stand that Sheriff Clark need not de-
fend his action in upholding the ma
jesty of the law. There have been
some people who have bothered the
life out Of Sheriff Clark for hanging
that brute. The sheriff does not need
to stand behind the state to defend
his action, for he did the right thing.
If the majesty of the law were upheld
little more there would be a great
deal less lawlessness, and little IL

ed almost as horrible scene by
hanging him for seven minutes that
the cause Of justice might be served
by strangling to death the poor
wretch"
Branding the hanging Of Junkin,
the murderer of Clara Rosen, at Fort
Madison as a blot of blood upon the
escutcheon Of the state, Rev. H. E.
Van Horn Of the Capitol Hill Church
of Christ Sunday evening declared
that the majesty of the law cannot
be upheld by numbering in expiation
of a murder.
1--WE can not wipe out one blot
by another blot" he exclaimed. "The
Bible says, know, that when mans
blood shall be shed the sin must be
wiped out by bloodshed. The Bible
also says that there shall be an eye
for an eye and tooth for tooth.
That will do for children and an age
that was barbaric. In this great day,
in loyalty to God and to right, we
should leave this question for Him to
settle in His own way"

state, using the same caution and
judgment in raising pheasants for the
hunters of Iowa as they have devoted
to their own work. There are, how
ever, a large number of practical
men in the state who are willing to
devote some of their time for the
state for the benefit it will be to
them, but what success they will
have in the raising Of pheasants is a
question that is to be decided, it be-
ing the aim of Mr.. Lincoln to adopt
the most economical method that will
bring the best results to the state.

ARCHBISHOP oR1TICIzEs EDISON

Divorce is the evil that most seri-
ously threatens the foundation of
modern society. 1t is the duty of the
Christian church to exercise the
same paternal authority over a com
munity as father does over his fam
lily. The Catholic Church has always
held the marriage vows inviolate."
Archbishop Quigley of the archdio-
cese of Chicago last Sunday thus gave
public expression to his views on the
divorce question at the dedication of
the new $4,000 church home of St
Marys parish of Lake Forest.
Archbishop Quigley also criticised
statements of Thomas A. Edison. who
denied the Immortality of the soul.
Mr. Edison is a brilliant and
gifted inventor" he said. and yet
with all his wonderful knowledge he
does not know the character of the
force that constitutes electricity. How
much less can he know of spiritua::
things? And yet he presumes to pass

ETERNITY.

A conception of what eternity
forever and ever. is almost incon-
ceivable. Here is how one writer tries
TO form some conception of it.
1t has been truthfully said that
when damned soul shall have shed
tears enough to make UP all the rivers
and seas in the world, did he shed but
one tear in every hundred years, he
shall not be more advanced, after so
many millions of ages, than if he had
only begun to suffer; he must begin
again, as if he had yet suffered moth
ing; and when he shall have begun as
often as there are grains of sand on
the sea shore or atoms in the air or
leaves on the trees, he shall be as far
off as ever That is very good
idea of eternity, but it is hard for the
average mind to conceive the meaning
of forever and forever.
