to the Lord Amasah was one of the leading men of the reign of King Je- hosaphat. He was entrusted with the command of 100000 soldiers. It is glor- ious thing when men and women of leadership are pronounced and faithful servants of God. One wonders what many influential men and women can mean by the misuse Of their powers of personal influence. In his position of great prominence Amasiah openly and faithfully linked his life with Gods cause.
 The question frequently is raised as to the supreme need for the furtherance of Christs cause in this world. Various an- sWers are given, and some of them would be exceedingly ludicrous if the subject talked about were not so serious. It is a mistake to suppose that large numbers are needed to make Christianity more ef- fective in the world. There is always a snare in taking the census. Nor is the supreme need for the furtherance of Christs cause larger material possess sions; money is a powerful factory in religious work as elsewhere, but 1t is not the first factor. The supreme thing IS that Gods people shall put his cause as the first thing in their lives; to do this in all realms, to have no talk of the sa- cred and the secular things in the Chris tian life. There are no secularities in
 
 ''The crux of the whole matter of worthily living the Christian life is met in conservation of life, of personality. Amasiah offered himself to the Lord. The scandal of Christendom Is that so many Christians give only dribblets of time, of money and of service, and so little of personality, of real life to Chrfst's cause The call of Christianity is T seek not yours but you. The test and measure of our power to help others is in the gift of life. Only two centers are possible to a human being; they are either self cen- ed life is inevitably defeated and doomed individuals. The all saving power is sac rificial. The sublimest truth ever hid- den behind a snare was in the taunt of Jesus enemies who said while He was dying on the cross, He saved others, Himself He cannot save.'"

gotten gains. When people begin to
see that the license fees paid by the sa-
loon are just rake off for the privilege
of debauching the public, then they will
rise in their might and strike the death
blow to the whole license system.
In reply to the above question, l
would say the saloon does pay revenue,
and it does not. | mean by this that a
little money does come through the sa-
loon into the CITY and state treasury,
but it first comes out of the pockets of
men least able to pay it, and Indirectly
is the money that should be used to
clothe and feed helpless women and
children. The traffic never has and
never will pay its way. 1t is a burden
on any state or municipality, and always
increases taxation and never decreases
it. Mark Twain, in his own inimitable
way used the following illustration to
show the fallacY of the revenue argu-
ment:

inals in the country as $500, 900, coo, he
thus makes the total loss to the country
through crime of $500, 900, 900 year. -
These are the estimates of criminal
expert twelve years ago. Since then
the wealth Of the country has more than
doubled, and the increase in crime has
been correspondingly great. We will
now take more concrete illustration,
and take a look at what Chicago pays
for crime. 1t costs the people Of Chic
ago 81, l25, 600 per year for the proven
ton and punishment Of crime.
According to an article printed in the
Chicago Tribune, there are 3, 600 men
on the police force, and for this service
Chicago pays So, 800, 600 annually. The
Bridewell costs 1888, 600; the criminal
court costs $50, 900; the state sattorney' s
office 50, 900; the jail $40, 600; the city
police courts, $4,000; the juvenile
court 81, 800; incdentals and special
police estimated at $3.50, 900, and the
result is a total of 4,l25, 900 per year.
The 5000 saloons of Chicago produce
over 70 per cent. of the criminals. They
are resorts of the vicious. The police
force is double what 1t would be if they
did not exist, and yet they are protected
and favored by the administration.
As another illustration of the saloon S
responsibility for crime we will note for
a moment the city of New York. That
city expends annually on account of
crime the sum of S24, 1873, 600. Is per
cent. of it is due to the liquor traffic or
the sum of SIG, 452, 600. Note this point.
The city receives in revenue from the
traffic the sum of So, 1913, 500 The city.
therefore. had to :. spend $1O,558, 900
more than the income from: revenue to
take care of the DRINKS, imbeciles, lun-
atics, criminals and other riff raft turned
out by the saloon. The above illustra-
ton showing the vast amount of the
peoples money the great city of New
York spends in taking care of the pro-
ducts of the gin mills leads to the con-
slderation of another vital question.
Doesn't the saloon pay revenue? This
has been the argument all along, and
were it not for the revenue the whole
question would have been settled long
ago. The saloon is endured and toler-
ated, its insults and impudence are pa
tientlY borne, because it gives back into
the public treasury a little OF its i'll

State Has Made Ont q Stronx Case
AEafnat Lauls Waterman

| Ine* preliminary hearing of Louis
Waterman, charged with the killing OF
Mr.. and Mrs. A. " Higgins. an aged
couple two weeks ago at their home
at Lake Bryant, was adjourned last
evening till 10 o'clock this morning
only about half of the witnesses sum-
moned. about p in number. were ex-
amined. The state made out a very
strong case against Mr.. Waterman, on
cireumstantial evidence. though
This morning court was convened
and Mr.. Waterman and his counsel,
Mr. r B. Bullock. decided to introduce
no witnesses. The judge held the de-
PENDANT over to await the action OF
the grand jury without bail and he
was taken to the county Jail
The evidence brought out showed
that Mr.. Waterman was absent from
home at the time of the killing and
could give no satisfactory accounting
of his whereabouts: that he possessed
such a weapon as the killing was done
with; that he had injuries on his legs
and knees, just such as the person who
fell over the pine stump in esca ping
from the window where the shots were
fired from, could or would have sus-
tanned; that he told several at least
three dInerent stories about how he
received the Injuries to his legs: that
he had made threats against the life
Of Mr.. Higgins; that Higgins had told
several people that he feared Water
