A Life for a Life.

The wholesale execution of convicted
murderers in New York a day or two
ago has naturally resulted in another
outburst against capital punishment
The sentimentalists regard the deaths
| of the condemned men as an outrage
against society
There is no doubt that the feeling
against capital punishment is growing
In an age when we expend large sums
for hospitals and for homes for the
aged and the incurable the stern Mosaic
doctrine Of all eye for an eye seems
more or less barbaric At the same
time we are apt to forget the suffering
and death of the victim of murder. Our
sympathy is with the living We over
look the anger and the cruelty which
inspired and consummatcd the crime.
the cold-blooded purpose of revenge or
robbery. All these are forgotten, and
in the minds of some the murderer
who goes to the chair is regarded as
d lHdllNI-
For the men whose lives paid the
extreme penalty in New York there
ought to be no sympathy whatever.
Their crime was unjustifiable from any
point of view, and if death is to be the
punishment for murder, they certainly
deserved to die In an ideal society.
however. the sentence of the law should
be not only a punishment for the Of
fender, but a deterrent to others. 1t
is serious question whether the in
Fiction of the death penalty decreases
the number of homicides. This is the
one strong point in the argument
against capital punishment, and those
who oppose the doctrine of life for
a life are right in emphasizing it in
the fight which they are making.

HELPFUL SERVICES
Mr.. Hemenway Speaks to
Large Audience at Bap-
fist Church,

The meetings at the Baptist church
Sunday were very interesting and
helpful. In the evening Mr.. Hemen-
way spoke from the subject, "Chriss
Consciousness" His text was taken
from Romans 1910. He said by con-
ciousness we mean the power to
xnow, feel and will that we possess.
Christ consciousness would mean the
power to hnow that we possess Jesus
Christ-h, We His companionship. 1t
IS natural to be plainly certain that
Jesus is present with US.
/. Christ consciousness is acquired
by confession. Man believes unto
righteousness and is saved. To go no
turther is to rob Christianity of its
real Joy. We are not to be saved for
Heaven, but for earth. Heaven will
take care of itself, Paul says, "work
out your own salvation-it is God WI o
begeteth in you." There are doubtle' o
many persons who in reality will be
.aved-are saved, but who fell to get
their privileged joy in Christ. The
,eason is they fail to confess him. A
new life and light would fill their
Whole being and shed forth its rays
o and for others If they would confess
to themselves, [ believe in Jesus, my
Savior; much greater joy and influence
would result if they would confess
Christ to all "for with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation"
II. Growth in Christ consciousness
Is by activity as Christian. This il
we'll nigh self-evident. 1t is universe
law. This law constitutes one of tn,
great charms of the Christian life
We grow by doing. We have increas
ing consciousness of Christ's presenc
by simply being and acting Christian
MANY fail to sense this of the Christian
life. It's very genius in development
No other conception is possible if W
studv the Bible for the sake of Chri
+ion ideas. The Pastor.

CROWDS Of PEOPLE

Throngs of people are aware of the
savings by trading at Clavadatscher's.
At times our store Is filled to its full
capacity with shoppers. A space 80
feet wide by 83 feet long, 80 aisles filled
with people is proof of the fact that
here are the best goods for the least
money. People realize that we gener'
ously allow them to share in all the
great bargains that cash secures; cash
is always on the alert and it is never
shy when we go out to buy.
All who are inspired by our cash
plan are helping the cause of cash
method.
We have reached the eleventh post
of 1912 and have accomplished a
gratifying and most substantial gain
over all our past glowing records. We
are in position to say: bring back
any item that you didn't buy for less
money than elsewhere and credit stores
can't say that. Pin your faith to a
concern that advocates cash principles
and that figures on conservatism.
Better goods, lower prices.
In hundreds Of towns all over the
country merchants in other trades are
watching the cash store in open-eyed
amazement, wondering how 1t can
| afford to give the values it does. The
one fact explains the other: Crowds
come to the cash store because they
get better values; because here little
money goes a long way, whereas in
other stores a larger sum buys less
real value.
The average people feel at home in
this store. It's goods suit both theil
purse and their needs. Each time they
buy a satisfactory article at a small
price, their liking grows.
The cash merchant gcaters to the
many. His goods are chosen with the
needs of the average family in mind
His best thought goes to the work Of
finding good values toretail at popular
prices. His selection of SUCH goods Ii
many times larger than that of othel
stores. Every article is marked with
. its price in plain figures. He adver
tises by surprising people with The
bigness of his values.
