Regarding Pastor RusselPs being an
ordained minister, Ham" would do
well to read his Bible to ascertain what
constitutes ordination to preach the
Gospel. Ham" evidently holds and
believes the idea OF ordination as taught
by the Catholic church. Before | read

But, being a Grecian and able to read
the original, feel 1t an opportunity and
my duty to uphold Pastor Russell's rem
dering of the Greek.
cannot understand where this gentle
man finds his justification in adopting
slanderous methods of prosecuting a
fellow Christian. To me, there appears
to be but one reason: He and many
other professed leaders of Christian
people fear that Pastor Russell's clear
and convincing presentation of the Scrip
lures will discredit them as ''bind lead
ers of the bind" into the ditch of con-
fusion and unbelief. (See Mat. 23:13).

THE WATERWAY NOW A REALITY.

The destruction of the Gamboa dixie
does not open the Panama canal to
ships, but it opens it to the water.
1t is a highly important proceeding
tor it establishes a level-water con-
nection from the Gatun locks to the
Pedro Miguel locks; and below these
locks, toward either ocean, the water
ways are now open.
1t is now, therefore, that the 18TH
mus is pierced" and the oceans
mated. The Gamboa dixie stood as the
only bar remaining between the
continents. Itsdestruction threw down
that bar. The date will be important
in history.
The American nation appreciates the
sentimental Importance Of every step in
connection with the opening of the
great waterway, but also sympathizes
with the attitude of Col. Goethals, who
deprecates all ceremony until the final
ceremony is due-the ceremony attend
ing the actual passage of American
ships of war through the canal. To
Goethals, the way is not ''open" until
it is open in every respect. That vast
deposit of earth, sliding down from the
hills, which now hes in the Culebra cut,
does not look good to Goethals. With
his eyes on that obstruction, the great
engineer did not pay much attention tc
the blowing up of the dyke. Its con
sequence to him lies in the chance which
it affords for his steam dredges to move
against the obstruction in the cut.
When that obstruction is dredged away,
the thing will begin to look like cana
to Goethals.
In this strong man, this patient
worker of engineering marvels, this
embodiment of our nations construc-
tive ability, the American people live
and move and have their being today
as far as Panama is concerned. Wher
Goethals stands up and says 81 an
done, " the people will really feel theil
great Panama emotion.

THE PEOPLES FORUM.
Gospel Temperance.

To the Editor of The Republican.
In this, closing article of my series,
wish to emphasize the need of special
efforts to put down intemperance. Of
course all sins are wrong, but this is
even worse than others-most of them,
at least-because it has special privi-
leges and opportunities that are denied
others. Respectable families, as a rule,
will not tolerate lying. or profanity. or
stealing in their church. They do not
offer any inducements to stimulate these
propensities if they exist They are
frowned upon and consigned to pit of
disgrace. The thief and liar lose their
standing in respectable society not as
the the wine bibber and the drunk ard.
Not unfrequently in respectable families
in society do you find inducements 10

social attraction Of the occasion, To

Woman in Slit Bathing Skirt.

Atlantic City,, Sept. "a slit
skirt bathing costume worn by Mrs.
Charles Lanning created such SEN
sation on the beach this afternoon
that the wearer was literally mob
bed. After being roughly handled
by crowd of several thousand per-
sons she tainted and had to be
carried unconscious to the hospital
tent.
Mrs. Lanning, who in the wife of a
hotel owner of Burlington, n. j., ap-
peared at the foot of South Carolina
avenue in suit of vivid purple silk.
Her skirt which did not reach below
her knees was slit on each side from
the hem to the waist. Her stock
ings and cap were also dizzly pur-
pie, and she led a toy poodle around
whose neck was huge bow of the
same hue.
Scarcely had she stepped upon the
strand when an excursionist picked
up a handful of sand and threw it
at one of the Sits. 1t struck. Mrs.
Lanning turned to reprove him and
received another stinging handful OF
sand on the other side A dozen
men then took up the game, while
a hundred others laughed and jeered.
Mrs. Lanning sought escape to-
ward the water, but was headed off
and in a few moments she was sur
rounded. Whichever way she turn
ed she was met with boots and fly
ing sand.
Policeman Craig and number OF
life guards fought their way through
the crowd. When they got to Mrs
Lanning she was unconscious. They
carried her to the hospital tent
where DR.. Charles Bossert revived
her.
There was such throng about this
place that an automobile was run
down upon the beach to take the
woman to the Hotel Biscayan, where
she has been staying She is under
treatment for hysteria.

DECAY OF GOOD MANNERS.
Why Should There Not Be a Reviva
Of the Gospel of Courtesy?

AS rule, intelligent men take
little stock in complaints regarding
decadence and lapses from the Vir-
tues of good old times. In many
respects the good old times remain
good only at respectful distance;
the nearer you get to them by study
the less good they apear.
But it is undeniable that, as Lord
Rosebery said recently in an address
that is eliciting much comment in
England, there has been decay of
manners. There are those who i'm
agine that democracy requires rude
ness of them, and that the way to
emphasize "equality" is to parade
mental and moral littleness. Lord
Rosebery dwelt on the charm OF
courtesy and the Importance of good
manners in the ordinary transactions
of life. Even in commerce and trade
as he said, good manners and good
appearance have a distinct value.
The well-mannered boy is more likely
to get job, the well-mannered agent
or salesman is more likely to obtain
orders and permanent customers.
Why, then, does our age neglect
manners? Why do not parents at
home and teachers at school instill
and exemplify the value of good man
ners? Why not revive the gospel of
courtesy? The question is not one of
scraping and bowing, of empty cere-
monies, of circumlocution and blather
but of kind of courtesy that is
wholly consonant with efficiency, sim
cerity, simplicity and even strenuous
ity. The busiest man or boy doesn't
have to be rough, offensive, unman-
nerly. Good manners need not be
the monopoly of aristocrats and per-
sons of leisure.-Chicago Record
Herald.
