An eastbound train on the FL Paso
& Southwestern railroad was held up
by a lone bandit. who herded the oc-
cupants of the tourist sleeper into a
private car attached TO the rear of
the train, compelled them to deposit
their money and valuables in a heap
and made his escape with the plumber
across the desert toward the noun
tains. Rough estimates place the
value OF his haul at several thousand
dollars. The hold-up occurred one
mile east of Robsart, n. NJ. near Cor

The condition OF the apple crop is

with normal condition. The 10-year
average for apples is 69.S. In New
England and on the Pacific coast the
crop promises to be immense, but in
such big apple states as Ohio and Mis-
souri, there will be only about one
third of crop
On the other hand, the peach crop,
due to the excellent prospects in such
states as Georgia and Delaware, prom

dent of the New York Central While the present
cost of living may foreshadow some crisis which
Mr. Brown sees approaching it is already. indeed
a national calamity. No matter what it may fore

amount to crisis. Mr. Brown quotes statistics of

writes that ut almost justifes the suspicion that
there was vein of insanity in his very remarkable
character" The Swiss reformer, Zwinglius,
ascribes Luthers temper to demoniacal influence.
"The devil" he said us master of Luther to such
a degree as to make one believe that he wishes to
gain entire possession of him" Luther's COM

Luther's drinking bouts notorious. Every
evening for fifteen years. Sundays excepted, he
passed hours with boon companions around the
beer table of the Black Eagle tavern, Mansfield
Now listen to this, from the letter of Count
Hoyer, of Mansfield, written in 1922 to Ulrich of
Helfenstein: 81 have been all along as 1 was at
Worms, good Luthern; but I have learned that
Luther is a blackguard, and as good drunkard as
there is in Mansfield, delighting to be in the COM
pany of women. His conduct is unbecoming, and
he seems irretrievably fallen" And read this ex-
tract from letter Luther wrote from Wenar to
his wife, apostate nun: II devour like Be-
hemian, and I swig like German, for which God
be thanked, Amen" Only beer, satanic obsession
or insanity can explain the foul and blasphemous
expressions found everywhere in his "Table Talk"
No well-read Protestant now accepts Luther as a
reformer "sent of God" His own writings carry
the stamp of the blackguard
We suspect that the Welsh lecturer now visit
ing our city got his information of and admiration
for Luther from that romantic geographic novel,
the Life of Luther" by Dr. julius Kostlin of
Halle, Wittenberg. Kostlin's book is not life of

No class is more alive to the unsatisfactoriness
of their preaching, "if they would testify" than
these preachers. Nor can any one be more
seriously sadly impressed with of the re-
sponsibities, the difficulties the discouragements
of the preacher, and the misdrecton, the fallabil
tiles and batteries of preaching, than those who
have for any length of time been engaged in the
listers of Gods word who have not at some time
other felt the language of the prophet Jere-
miah rising to their lips; "Then [ said will not

ended, but that they were constrained to add as
jeremiah did: "But His Word was in mine heart
as burning fire shut up in my bones and l was
weary with forbearing and l could not hold my
peace"
On the whole, we think the newspapers are per-
haps erring on the side of mercy, when they pro-
claim all our preachers to be "men of eloquence,
forcible speakers and scholarly expounders of the

Now they are on the very best of terms. The
Pulpit lauds the Press, and, every Monday morn

sermons, or speeches, "'ferverinos" and reGoious
talks. There is no such thing as a bad sermon

humanity speaking, the greatest that our race ever

Master that: "Out of the heart proceed evil
thoughts, murders adulteries, foundations, thefts
false testimonies, blasphemies and all things that
defle man."
Now, since the parents will not and the law

The hope of betterment of school system
Long ago the Catholic Church abandoned the exper-
iment of trusting the moral training of the child
to its parents. She made moral and religious IN
struction part of the childs education. She IN
sisted upon every pastor of souls assuming the re-
sponsibility. before God and his own conscience,
of teaching every Catholic boy and girl under his
pastorate the doctrines of Jesus Christ their duties
to the state to society," to their neghbors to their
own souls and bodies And when the Church was
free to instruct the child in state schools, she
opened, at an enormous expense, schools OF her
own that she might save the child. When M. Paul
Bert the blatant prophet of the secularization OF
schools in France said thirtythree years ago. that
"Secularized schools would softly detach children
from religion he knew what he talking about.
The public schools are gradually detaching the
people from the high standards of morality erected
by Christianity. If. NJ Paul Bert be living
he has only to study the effects, in France and the
United States, of an educational system without
morality to be thoroughly satisfied that his state
ment correct.
What can be hoped of country whose children
are neglected by their parents, whose boys and
girls are brought up in schools without religion
and fed from their earliest years on cheap and
nasty reading.
