and heavy breathing his attempt

was the hobo cut the handkerchief
around Weaver's neck and let him
drop to the floor. In few minutes

When Marshall Richards appeared
at the city jail he found Weaver in
very nervous condition. The hobo
informed the marshal that he hau
attempted suicide. Yesterday after
noon ne took the chain off the closet
and had it in his pocket when he
was locked up last night. He wait
ed until all the hobos had gone to
rest and then tying his handkerchief
around his neck, he attached the
chain to it and fastened the other
end to the bars of the cell. One of
the hoDos heard the rafting of the

BISHOP
Does Not Believe In CHING.
ing Commandments

Cincinnati, O., Feb. 23-The pro-
posal coming from the Church of
England for the cutting down of the
Ten Commandments is variously re-
ceived by church dignitaries of Gin
cinnati. The Rt. Rev. Boyd Vincent,
bishop of the Episcopal church, Gin
cinnati, said:
Il rather believe the proposition to
shorten the Ten commandments is a
proposition to shorten the service of
the church. In that case it should
be favored, as the services could be
shortened considerably by simplifying
the decalogue."
One of the authorities on English
literature in Cincinnati, Professor
F"ank w. Chandler of the department
of literature, University of Cincinnati,
said: .et,f..t-l n~f esurC ~
The Ten Commandments must be
regarded as good in their present lit
erary form, else they would not have
survived the test of tradition. OF
course the commandment on the
Thou shalt not covet," like the other
nine, was made for the guidance of
primitive people and therefore was
minute in its specifications. Today
man might not covet his neighbours
OK nor his ass because, in all proba-
bility, his neighbor would have neith-
er. But in considering the verbiage
of this commandment, which under
stand it is sought to shorten, he
would be moved to the thought of
something he might covet of his
neighbor, such as his clothes, or his
house; yet it would seem foolish to
change the commandments for this
reason"

THE VISITING PASTOR

Is the old-fashioned pastoral call"
in the churches of the larger cities
growing obsolete? The query is sug-
gested by animated complaints recent
ly sent to the New York Herald to the
effect hat clergymen in charge of New
Yory churches no longer pay pastoral
visits. The complaints drew forth re-
joinders from three prominent clergy
men who declare, in substance, that
the calls would be made if it were
humanity possible to make them 1t
is alleged further by the explaining
preachers that first claim on a minis
ter's services is held by the sick and
the bereaved, and that these demands
on city pastors time are so numer-
GUS that he is left little time for the
old-fashioned habit of paying pastoral
calls 5nd looking after the personal
and religious welfare of his parishion-
ers in an intimate and social way.
The entire question of ministerial
duty in this direction will no doubt
be threshed out by the controversy, to
no particular advantage beyond the
revela. ion to many, which will also be
a reminder, that under modern condi-
tions of religious life the custom of
pastora! visiting has largely fallen into
disuse, not only in the cities but in the
larger towns and even in country
places, Conditions of life and the
changed methods of church work are
both responsible in large measure for
the absence of pastoral visit AS
the New York preachers declare, 1t is
a physical impossibility for the pastor
of large city congregation to pay So
cial or even distinctly religious calls
upon every family in his parish during
a year, or even during a pastorate of
several years. In many city churches
nowadays there are employed one or
more assistant pastors who do the pas
toral work, visit the sick and bury the
dead. There ARE also auxiliary aids to
form all the duties that the old-time
pastor used to do alone. In justice to
the modern preachers in city churches,
therefore, it must be said that the
methods of living, the altered times
and the ever-increasing difficulties OF
pastoral work, make social visiting al
most impossible.
This old-fashioned method of pas.
toral work still prevails In some
churches and in many parts of the
country both in cities and on the rural
circuits and parishes, but in no degree
to the extent it once did. Who shall
say how far The church in its work of
securing and holding the affection and
confidence of the masses of the people
may have failed in these great duties
by the passing of the pastoral yisit?"
