DISPLAY VS.. RELIGION.

Somehow it is difficult to sympa-
4hize with Rev. DR.. Charles Fred
erick Aked, the fashionable pastor
of New Yorks most fashionable
church, and if we had been the board
of trustees we would have done ex-
actly as they have done-accepted
the doctors resignation, but for a
different reason.
The Fifth Avenue Baptist church
is commonly referred to as Rookie
feller's church because that modern
Croesus attends worship there.
Among the membership are many of
the richest and most fashionable OF
New York families. DR.. Aked, IA
nous on two continents, was brought
from London four years ago for two
reasons-because he is an eloquent
preacher and because he is fashion
able. He came here with an ambi-
ton to become the head of a great
church organization possessing one
of the grandest edifices in the world.
The present church building is far
too modest for him. His desire was
to erect a 100000 structure
worthy of our name and ministry
in this city" as he put it. Some Of
the trustees were with him in his
ambition and Rockefeller said he
would match dollar for dollar all
that would be subscribed. Some
thing like 100000 was raised, and
then the purse strings began to
tighten. The project was abandon
ed, and the money returned to the
subscribers. DR.. Akeds disappoint-
ment is so great that he has resign
ed, and will go to California to be-
come the pastor of a great Congre-
gational church there
We cannot sympathize with him
On the other hand, we would have
warmed to the reverend doctor had
his ambition to do something great
in the name of religion led more in
the direction of what Christ would
attempt were he again to come to
earth. There are already too many
costly buildings in this world erected
to vanity and dedicated" to a lip
service of the Master, and there are
far too many fatherless children,
Overworked women and broken men,
far too much of ignorance and
viciOusness. Had the distinguished
divine quit his pulpit in disgust be-
cause his fashionable congregation
had failed to help him assuage the
misery and lift the burdens which
he must see all about him, and had
he gone forth consecrated to the
work of the Man of Galilee we could
have cheered him and his act, but
not because he could not build
greater and more expensive monu-
ment to worldliness.

IN TO THE END.

To set at rest rumors that have
recently gained fresh impetus from
various publications and from the
whispering of persons perhaps keen
ly interested in his retirement from
the race for the senate an emphatic
and unequivocal statement was CIV
en- to the press Saturday by Senator
Terrell in which he said:
you may say for me with all
the emphasis you can place on the
statement that | am still in the
race for the United States SEN
ate, expect to continue in it until
the legislature settles the ques-
ton, and, furthermore, that | am
more confident today than ever
before of winning
Il am getting we'll fast now,
and the only trace of my attack is
in my leg. This numbness is rap
idly disappearing, and | expect to
be out without the use of crutches
in a week or ten days. | could

whatever, as there is no need of
my doing so. The use of my arm
and hand has returned, and my
general health is better than it has
been in years.
Il am constantly receiving now
fresh assurances of hearty sup
port in the legislature, and | am
going to win this fight. | believe
there is no doubt of that now, and
just want my friends through
out Georgia to know that l am
going to be as sound and we'll as
ever soon, and able to care for
their interests and the interests
of our great state at the national
capital.
There is no doubt, says friend
who has recently seen him, that Sen
ator Terrell is getting well. He
looks as cIear-eyed, round-faced and
healthy-skinned as in his palmiest
days, with the exception of a nat
ural bleach from long remaining in
doors. He talks clear and easily,
and he sees many of his friends ev-
cry day without fatigue. His nurses
have been dismissed, and the physi-
clan is calling only to see that he
continues to improve without any
backset
Senator Terrells statement will
clear the atmosphere very much. He
removes all doubt as to his inten-
tions of remaining in the senate
rial race, and it probably means in
the long run the elimination of all
but two men in the contest-Senator
Terrell and Governor-elect Smith
who, his friends say, can keep in or
take down all of the other candidates
just as he chooses. The governor.
elect may never formally announce
but the impression is general that
his forces are being quietly mar,
shaled for the coming fight.

FATHER ON DOUBLE DUTY.

Boston has taken a decidedly orig
NAL step in trying to stamp out it's
excessive rate of infant mortality.
1t has inaugurated a movement for
instructing the fathers to care for
and understand the needs of the lit
tie ones. The fathers will be made
familiar with the mysteries of mod
fled milk and the dangers of the era
die, and they will learn to distin~
guish between the wailing which
means pin and that which means
call for supper.
The way to this reform" is no.
ing paved by the society known as
Milk and Baby Hygiene Association.
Next summer classes especially ar
ranged for the fathers will be con
Quoted by the society, and in them
the male element of the family will
be made thoroughly familiar with
the rules of hygiene pertaining to
babies.
boston, the Wanted city of cult
ure, has been frightfully excessive
in its rate of infant mortality. $500
babies dying there annually. In the
face of this startling condition Of af-
fairs it is high time for something
TO be done to bring about a reform.
but there is no reason why the en-
tire load of matrimonial partnership
should be put on father. Very like

their babies with the nourishment

LAW ENFORCEMENT

In his address before thel bY2
ern Commercial Congress a + d
ago Mr.. ]. NJ. Dickinsony~eecretaf.
of War, said in part:
Il assume that the management
regarded that the subject has a
direct bearing upon the OBJECTS
sought to be accomplished by Chs
convention.
I'm a similar congress in Great
Britain it would never occur to
anyone to put such topic Oh the
program, for everyone knows that
the law is there enforced without
fear or favor.
Progress and the protection of
persons and property under the
law are correlative terms. There
can be no general and steady eco
nomic development where there is
a general non-enforcement of the
law One disorder breeds am
other"
The above paragraphs deserve t.
be read and reread. Mr.. Dickinson
utterances were both timely anC
forceful.

Some cowardly fellow has written
Editor Leroy Hirschburg of the Bue-
ma Vista Patriot a black-hand letter
warning him to dispose of his
property and leave the town in
thirty days or be killed. Of course
Editor Hirschburg will do no
such thing. Instead he has offered
a reward of 500 for the party who
sent the letter, and is quietly hold
ing the fort. While Editor Hirsch-
burg, who is also a minister of the
gospel, has convictions on all ques-
tiOns of the day and is not afraid to
let them be known he prints high
toned, clean newspaper, and it il
to be hoped that the author of the

The Maine legislature has voted
to submit to a vote of the people
of that state the question of whether
Maine shall continue with statewide
prohibition-which has been in force
there nearly sixty years-or go to
the local option system. 1t is calcu-
lated to put one to thinking when
Maine, the pioneer in the statewide
movement, after sixty years of ex-
perience and experiment says in eff
feet that it may or may not be a
good thing-there is doubt about it
and is going to put it up to the
electorate to decide.

1t is truly an age of wonders that
we live in. The story of an inven-
ton of an army officer at Washing
ton, of the revolution that is prom
ised in the use and operation of the
telephone, making conversation with
any part of the continent-between
person and personals practicable as
the communication we now hold
with another in our home town or
an adjacent town is wonderful. An
impressive, grateful thought is that
this modest army officer, who hon
ors the uniform he wears, proposes
to bestow the product of his genius
upon the people of his country-his
gift to the nation and to posterity
in recognition of what the ma
ton has done for him. 1t Is a story
full of interest.

A Pardon on Unusual Terms.
rom the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
The governor of South Carolina
has paroled a life term convict, in
the penitentiary for murder, on the
condition that he get out of the state
in twentv-four hours and never re-
turn. The convict in question is a
victim of tuberculosis in it's last
stages, Being such he is a menace
to persons with whom he may come
in contact. BY what right, moral
or other, does the governor of South
Carolina throw out of his own house
a consumptive criminal to become
charge upon and menace to some
other community? Constructive
criminals, of course, are as undesira-
BILE in Georgia or Alabama or Ten
nessee as they are in South Carolina.
and there is no good and sufficient
reason why South Carolina should
fudge undesirables upon her neigh
bors.
