VOICE OF
uEA. THE Mnn-
p e Q p l. e
CENsUREs THIS COUPLE.

To the Editor.
Concerning the transgression of Rev.
G. w. Alley. pastor OF the Methodist
church at Royal Center. Ind, and Mrs.
Lena Vending of a nearby town. Rev.
Alley was at one time a respected min
lister of Montgomery county
This vile conduct of men and wo-
men. especially in high standing. is
becoming a little bit too common and
should be dealt with more severely.
A minister of the gospel who is ex-
pected to lead his flock In the straight
and narrow way both by precept and
example. should not be let loose quite
Mrs. Vending. a mother to whom God
had entrusted five children and whose
every act OF her life should be such
and not go astray. she too should be
punished in equal magnitude with this
wolf In Sleeps clothing"
I notice that Rev. Alley grew very
penitent when he was caught. In all
probability had he continued to evade
detection he would have continued his
maneuvers.
The effrontery of Mrs. Vending. who
time we have been In Kokomo." is be-
yond common decency. and she de-
serves to be punished to the full limit
of The law. She tried to throw the
blame all on the minister and said, lit
was all his fault" / would like to ask
Mrs Vending how 1t happened that
Alley selected her to go with him. She
certainly was not walking in the
straight and narrow way or he would
not have approached her in this vile
way and even If he had, why did she
not resist his first insinuation with
bitter vehemence.
The word thou" is used in the
commandment, not he nor she, conse-
suently one sex is just as guilty as the
other whoever transgresses. A fine
of few dollars is not sufficient pun
ishment for such diabolicaI conduct.
Like men running blind tigers and the
big grafters In monopolies they laugh
in their sleeve at the leniency of the
courts. pay their fines and go ahead
with their meaness and make enough
in the next few hours to pay their
fine and have q surplus left.
A man or woman either would much
rather give up his or her money than
their liberty, and until they are pun
ished by imprisonment a few months,
they will continue to sin more and
more. Such men as Rev. Alley and
Cissel impede the growth OF Chris
tianity more than all the skeptics and
infedils together. This is also true OF
municipal reform and civic league
work. Too many are trying to purify
others when they are impure them
selves.
Inis makes reform work for the good
men and women (Which are numbered
by the hundreds) twice as irksome as ii
otherwise would be- From a pyschol-
ogieal standpoint in order to do good
one must be good. There is no sin Sc
great but what one can atone for il
by getting penitent and forever Quit
ting it. I sincerely hope these preach
ers and mothers who are so capable OF
doing good in this big world, will con
tinue from now on to live such exem
plary lives that they can truthful,
say, though my sins have been a.
scarlet they are now washed as white
as snow"
