The Result of Their Unbelief.

All too lightly have men consider
ed the results of unhelief in Jesus
Christ. We talk OF men being good
men, good husbands and fathers.
good neighbors and friends, lacking
only one thing-they do not believe
on Jesus Christ That Is the most
serious and fatal lack men can have.
The tragedy of all tragedies is the
failure TO accept the Son of God as
"a personal Savior
1t is sin. AS Jesus was about to
leave this world. He said. IF so
not away, the Comforter will not
come unto you: but # depart. | will
send Him unto you And when He
Is come, He will reprove the world
of sin, and OF righteousness, and of
judgement: of sin because they be-
EeYe not on Me. The Holy Spirit
came into the world, not to reprove
men of the sin of stealing. or lying.
Or swearing. (the law of God does
that but He came to convince men
OF the sin of unbelief. Ii is mex
eusible sin. IF | had not come aud
spoken unto them they had not had
sin: but now have they no excuse
Tor their sin" Men may seek to in
vent excuses that will calm their
consciences. but they know in their
deepest soul that they have no ex-
euse Tor not believing on Jesus
Christ.
II is eondemning sin He that
heiieyeth on Him is not condemned:

These ''councilmen." each one selected

accomplishing Just what Warden Thom-
as expected when he put his plan into
effect They are enabling him to get
into closer touch with the prisoners.
For instance. II has been a rule that
shoes are distributed over so often.
Some prisoners wear out shoes sooner
than others. Heretofore they have ac-
cepted their lot. fearful that request
for shoes before the time specified by
the rules would bring a reprimand.
One councilman" so told the warden.
Now prisoners are furnished with shoes
when needed.
There are many trivial matters which
prisoners have been afraid to bring to
attention of officials. and which Of
ficials have overlooked. As a result
prisoners have nursed grudges. The
council is expected to correct this
situation.

A PLEA FOR THE FISH,

10 THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL. The fol-
lowing "Plea for the Fish" was called to nv
attention last summer and l wondered if if
would be of sufficient interest to you to pub
lish it:
When removing an understood trout from
your hook. always moisten your hands before
grasping the fish; otherwise the dry hand will
remove the slime from the back of the trout.
when it is only question of time until
fungus sets in and the fish will die. AL
ways Kill your fish that are large enough
to keep as soon as taken from the hook,
This can be done by giving 1t stroke with
q stick on the head, back of the eyes. 1t
will avoid all suffering, and make your fish far
better for table use. The American Fisheries
Society at Washington, D. c.. September 21-24,
19OS. recommended that the various State
Commissioners educate the people by eyery
means in their power to follow the directions
gwen about wetting the hanos, and this recon-
mendation has been indorsed by twenty eight
Fish and Game Commissioners throughout the
Ohlteo states. PISCAToR.
