Clothes
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author of at Good Old SIwash.s


~LOTHES are the outer husks of
humanity.
The Creator did not make man
with clothes. But man has always acted
as If this was an oversight.
When a baby is born it is hustled into
clothes. And when an old nan dies, he IS
buried in a new suit.
Man can get along without ears or
hair and can be fairly happy without
arms OF legs, but without clothes he
is helpless and sad. II a prominent citi-
zen should be extracted from his trous-
ers and a million dollars were to be
piled across the street from him with
his name on it he would spend all day
shouting for a barrel.
Clothes are used by some for a pro-
lection, by others as a convention, by
others as a decoration, and by still 9th
ers as an adventure. In this country
clothes are now a cross between a scan
dial and a national panic.
The lilies of the field are not arrayed
ike a New York woman in the latest
style of skirt. If they were, the farmer
would throw a gUnny sack over them.
-Four years ago people were shocked by
the peek-a-boo waist and the mosquitoes
friend stocking. Now we would be re-
lieved if the women would put them
back.

SERMONS.


Editor FL Paso Herald:
I am not an infiGel[I believe firmly
in a Supreme Being and I also think
that Jesus Christ was a great preacher.
even if 1 can't embrace the Immaculate
conception idea and the fable of the
resurrection of the DO0y-Dut some Of
the things that are done in the name
of religion max me feel creepy.
OF late 1 have had occasion to attend
a number of funerals-several acquain-
tances having been called aWay-and
l have witnessed the services conduct
ed by preachers of different denOmim-
nations n the only sensible ones L
nave seen are those of the Catholic
and the E-piscOpalian churches.
In each case, the minister prayS for
the soul of the deceaSed-and all Of Us
need praying fOr,3I am sure-but in no
case does the minister take to himself
the authority TO say that the deceased
has gone straight to the bosom of the
Lord, there to wait for his kith, kin and
friends to join him. The Catholic and
EpiscOpalian minister has been salts
lied each time to offer Up a prayer for
the salvation Of the soul of the de-
ceased.
But in every case where the service
was conducted by a minister not of
these denOmtnaLtOnS, the friends rela-
tiveS and others have been forced to
listen to fulsOme words of praise on
the personal character of the deceased
and the glOries of the life 70 which he
Cor she) has certainly departed.
Has any minister a right to tell rs
h the God of all has done with the
soul of some poor %creatUre who has
been called back to the dust of which
we are told We are created2 Why
SHOULD a minister stand Up in a crowd
and tell the people where the soul of
the deceased has gone to- Here is
about what they all say: can be
cOmfOrted because we know that the
deceased has gone to the bosom of the
Lord, TO sing in praise and joy with the
angels; we must not grieve; he Tor she)
in by the Coco Shepherd He a only
gone ahead; We Will follow and the
grand reunion will come before the
throne Of Jesus Christ and his Father"
The minister has no more idea where
the soul OF the deceased has gone than
1 have, and I am sure that L would not
venture a prediction in some cases. Why
don't the ministers be honest with the
peOple-pray for the deceased and
eliminate the trashy flu~bdubbery that
they use to work upon the feelings of
their hearers2 Generally their talk
serve only to stir up h feelings OF
the already O"ver-WrOught family and
results only in extended weeping and
more sOrrOw- 1t is no comfort. I have
seen less hysteria at all the funerals of
E~piscOpalians and Catholics that I have
attended during my entire lifetime,
than at n or two funerals conducted
recently by some preacher Of the other
denominations, where the minister
Comforts" the family with a stirring
picture of the deceased riding on the
bosom Of Abraham n closes by paint
ing Z anVaS OF the future, Wnerc the
departed one is reckoning those who
are left to grieve to follow him.

Guaranty of World Peace

~ ? oRLD peace needs no more effective guaranty than a general alliance

does not care to think IF the possibility of being drawn into a fight with half Of
Europe through the accident of a British alliance.
The answer probably is that, if England and the United States were bound

great wars There would be police duty to perform here and there throughout the
