THE HONOR DUE TO GOD.

God is entitled to all the honor His
creatures can render Him. He is in
finitely great, and He is infinitely
good; and so our reverence for Him
in His greatness and our love for Him
in His goodness should blend, and
should be expressed, openly and glad
", in the best and truest honor that
can be manifested in our human lives.
That son would be considered
most despicable creature who, willing
to be dependent upon good father,
should be ashamed of him for MS
plain speech and appearance, ana
should be unwilling to be seen with
him or to be identified with him IN
the presence of his worldly compan-
ions. There have been and are sucn
persons, and they are contemplate, in
the same way as are those VINO, Sc
cretIy acknowledging their religious
duty and the claims of God upon
them, are ashamed of their religious
convictions, and are too cowardly to
defend Christ and the Church Wnen
thew are assailed or laughed at by
their sinful and worldly associates.
There are such persons even today.
RELIGION is supposed, by certain
class of people of shallow character
and scant morality, to be matter OF
which to be ashamed. There are many
who are not ashamed of immortality,
and who are so entirely past feeling
that they are ready to join in any sort
of wicked Indulgence, who would
shrink back from any avowal OF inter
est or any participation in the subject
of religion. The mention OF sacred
things is the only thing that makes
them blush, and they are ready to re-
nudiate. with scorn and invectlVe, any
connection with Christ or His cause.
The utter foolishness and wickedness
of this attitude is apparent to all
whose emotions are pure and whose,
Judgment is clear, but there are some
who are so blinded by the god OF this
world that they are given over to per
versity of mind and heart.
The thought of God is the loft1est
thought that can come into the mlnd
and the worship of God is the loft1est
exercises in which we can possibly en-
gage. That any one should De
ashamed of religion is one of those
strange things which admit of no ex'
p1anation save that of the deterlorat'
ing influence of sin on the intellectual
and moral nature of man.
And yet all men are not ashamed OF

son for being. Heather people are not
ashamed of their religious rites, even
when they are immoral and debaslng
Mohammedans are not ashamed TO
prav in the most public place when the
hour comes and the signal calls. liz
Christian lands, however, where there
should be the highest and hottest
sense of obligation, we find people
shrinking back from protesting their
interest in and devotion of the LORD
who has come to them in the highest
and hottest revelation of His nature
and His saving grace.
False shame should be thrown to
the winds. Religion is not a matter
about which to be timid. Christ Is not
one of Whom to be ashamed. Let us
be outspoken in our professions OF
faith in Him and attachment to HIS
person and cause. Let us be ready 70

GRAND JURY INDICTS
TEN MEN WHO FAILED
TO PAY TAX ON DOGS

GUYTON, GA, Dec. Ten men
have been placed under arrest by Sher-
if Jourdan. of Effingham county, as the
result of as many indictments returned
by the last grand jury, charging illegal
voting in the Democratic primary cleo
ton last August, when state officers
were nominated, because they failed to
pay their dog tax. They will await
trial at the April term of superior
court in this county. Judge Walter w.
Shepard, of the Atlantic circuit, will sit
in these cases.
Among those indicted are five prom
inent citizens of the Guyton district.
The grand jury held that failure to
pay any part of state taxes, including
even that assessed on dogs. constituted
a violation of the state tax laws and
consequently disqualified the delin-
quents as voters. The Legislature last
summer repealed the dog tax statute,
but the repeal was not brought about
until after taxes for the year had been
assessed and become payable. These
cases will constitute a test Of the con-
stitutionality of the tax provision of
the primary election law. A number of
attorneys, including some from Savan-
nah and other cities, will appear in the
trials

AND WOMAN
SUFFRAGETTES TURN
MEETING INTO RIOTS
Scottdale. Ga, Dec.

LONDON. Dec. Fierce fighting in
which the authorities had their hands
full and in which male az well as fe-
male suffragettes took leading part,
characterized a home rule demonstra-
ton at Dalston today, at which John
Redmond made a speech. Redmond was
hailed from the instant he arrived by
volleys Of Kisses and catcalls from the
suffragettes, among whose number were
many clergymen.
Redmond stood calmly awaiting the
demonstration to die down, but instead
IT rose to tumult. Officers in the as
semblage attempted to quell the out
burst, and, failing in this attempted to
force the disturbers from the hall. This
was the signal for fierce outburst OF
rloting, in which men, women and ori-
cials all mixed together in an immense
tumble. For fifteen minutes the riot
continued before the clawing, biting
screaming mass Of women, clergymen
and other humanity were finally thrown
into the street. Then Redmond made
his speech.

Blease No Gentleman,
Says Gridiron Club in
Refusing to Invite Him
Governor s Friends Fail to OBJ
tain Bid" for Him to
Attend Banquet Tonight.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Governor
Cole l.. Blease, of South Carolina, was
today refused an invitation to the an
nual banquet of the Gridiron club of
Washington to be held here tonight, on
the ground that "he is not a gentle
man"
When Judge John c. Rose, of Balti-
more, notified Louis Garthe, president
of the club, today that he would be
unable to attend the dinner, friends of
the South Carolina executive, who at
the recent conference of governors in
Richmond attacked the constitution
and the laws. made an effort to have an
invitation issued asking Governor
Blease to occupy Judge Roses chair.
Officers and members of the club indig-
nantly refused.
The South Carolinan and his sup
porters are so angered at this step that
it is expected many of them will refuse
to attend the banquet.

Before the drab doorway Of a down

smartly attired, with a glow of health

her step, alighted from an electric
brougham drawn close to the curb this

CONVICT'S DREAM OF
CHRISTMAS AT HOME
RUDELY SHATTERED

The fond and long treasured dream
of John Blue, alias John White, young
Oklahoman. to spend Christmas amid
the cheer of a happy home circle, today
was rudely shattered when, just as he
was released from the Federal prison,
he was Immediately taken into custody
by Deputy Sheriff Miner and Deputy
Warden John Hackett, of Oklahoma,
and escorted to the Tower.
It will be a long time before the con-
Wet can realize his Christmas dream,
for he has four more years to serve in
the Oklahoma reformatory. He starts
back there tomorrow morning with
Deputy Warden Hackett.
Blue, who had been sent up in Okla
homa for a five-year term for burglary,
was a fugitive from the reformatory
there when he was arrested in Arizona
for couuterfeiting, He was convicted
of that charge and given two years in
the Federal prison. When he boltei
from the oklahoma prison he left four
years OF his term unserved, and must
now square that account.
Its pretty tough to be freed from
prison just at Christmas time, with
happy thoughts Of a big Christmas
dinner at home, and then suddenly have
to go back behind the bars for another
long term" disconsolately remarked
the convict as he was led into a Tower
cell.

longer" he added, as the door changed
