builded and, in their zeal to become
great they often resOrted to unfair and
even wicked means in order to get
fame. The converting of thousands of
human beings into beasts of burden,
and driving them before the lash until
they fell exhausted beneath their bur
dens, was a trivial matter in the esti-
fame i'm the building of cities, to say
nothing Of the more cruel practice of
killing them outright when necessary
to enhance their own selfish interests
But even in this Christian age of
ours the spirit of rivalry in city build
ing still exists, and towns and cities are
still being built at the sacrifice of hui
man lives. 1t is true the ancient method
of cOercing men into service is not now
practiced as of old, but the modern
method of licensing saloons and hoases
revenue for public improvements is /
am persuaded, equally wicked in the
sight of God. Every dollar thus secured
is blood money, and only invites the
wrath and displeasure OF God upon the
city which uses it for public improve
ments.
Prosper without Tainted Revenue.
The contention that citieS cannot live
and prosper without such revenue has
long since proved grOundless. There
are scores and even hundreds of towns
receive a dollar of revenue from such
sources and yet they live and prosper.
Indeed, many of them are modern and
up to date in every particular. Their
streets are paved, and lighted with
electricity. They have their schools,
public buildings of various sorts water
works and electric cars, all without a

Hab. 2:12: "WOe to him TINT buiIdeth
a town with blood, and established a
city with iniqUity."
= n the estimation of God, blood and
life are synonymous terms. After
4 the flood, God, in giving instruc-
lions to Noah, regarding the eating Of
is the blood thereof, thou shalt not
eat" The same prohibition against
eating blood was later incorporated in
the law which he gave the Israelites
i'm the language following: What
soever man there be of the house Of
Israel or of the stranger that sOjourn
among you, that eateth any manner of
blood I will even set my face against
that soul that eateth blood, and will
cut him off from among his people, for
the life of flesh is in the blood"
From the foregoing it is evident that
God regards the two terms as repre-
senting the same thing, and it would
be just as appropriate 70 use the word
life in the text as it is to use the word
blood" Woe to him that buildeth a
town with the life Cor Hves) of his fell
low men, and establisheth a city with

City Building is Ancient.
The building of cities dates back to
the days Of Cain, who built a city and
called it Enoch, in honor of his son;
has been one of the chief ambitions of
men. After the confusion Of tongues
at Babel the spirit of rivalry seems to
have taken possession of the people and
the building of cities became the, recog-
nized standard of greatness. A man
was considered great in proportion to
the number Of cities which he had

Much was said during the recent
municipal campaign, concerning the
wonderful growth and material pros
perity of the city of FL Paso during the
past few years, and indeed it has been
phenomenal But has its moral and
spiritual growth kept pace with it's
material? That IS the question that
should engage the attention of those
interested in the city's good. However
much we may be inclined to stress the
Importance of the material. no city ever
became truly great which made not
adequate provision for the moral and
spiritual advancement of its subjects
Gambling Abolished
I am aware of the fact that moral
and spiritual progress is usually slow
when compared with the material. and
L would be far from saying that our
city has made no progress along these
certainly has. 1 am told that only a few
years ago Ell PasO was a strong rival
OF our sister city across the river in
the gambling business, but that. evil
has been effectually banished, and no
doubt every official and citizen who
had a part in its overthrow is today
glad of it.
But there are other evils which need
to be abolished in order that our city
may challenge the appreciation Of God
and good men. All honor will be due
ceeds in divOrcing the city from all
revenue obtained from the licensing of
evil and places the finances upon the
basis of a just and equitable taxation
of all property within the corporate
limits.

Entices Russians Into
German Lines; Gets 4Oc
For Each One With Gun

Berlin, Germany, Feb. 27-An officer
at Austrian headquarters in Galieia
writes how a Bohemian corporal who
spoke Russian carried on lucrative
business euticing Russians over to the
Austrian lines by painting to them in
rosv cOlOrs the easy time Russian pris-
Ouers were having in Austria.
For every unarmed prisoner which
this thrifty corporal is able to entice
to our lines. he writes, "he gets 20
cents, while for an armed one he gets
40 cents Hence he usually sends an
unarmed deserter back to get his gun
and, if possible, to bring some Of his
comrades with him. There continued
to be many deserters as long as the
2SOth Russian division was in front of
our lines. but this has been replaced by
a more trustworthy division, owing to
the fact that it mutinied on the Russian
New Year.
The Austrian undertakes to explain
this mutiny by saying;
The malcOntents appeared before
their commander and complained that
the promise to finish the war by New
Year had not been kept. He put them
off with the soothing news that he was
expecting every moment telegram
from the car announcing the end of
the war: but when the telegram failed
10 materialize 50 men deserted to the
Austrians.

Florida has wanted to send children.
This home, unique in any religious

1000 acres, bought by the United
Brethren two years ago. It is the
largest farm in Ohio and the largest
tract in the United States devoted to
Christian philanthropy. The purchase
price was 1925. 600. and the purpose of
it is an industrial home and asylum for
children and old people.
United Brethren declare that no few
er than seven religious bodies other
than their own are represented by the
people who have asked to be taken
into this unique farm colony. Even
Christian Scientists are among the
number The farm does not share in
the general benevOlence budget of the

sDOWN TOWN. RELIGIOUS
SERVICES ARE Pc


Noon day religious meetings in
churches and halls in business dis
tricts of cities increased in number 25
percent during the Lent season that
has just begun. Large parts of this in
crease are starting Of services in cities
Of the middle class in point of popula-
ton. EpiscOpalians led in the move
ment, which is not old, but the in
crease this season is in large measure
that of Catholics and Presbyterians.
The demands made upon the time of
preachers of known fame are so great
that already there are complaints that
regular work by these leaders has to
be neglected. Some prea cheers will
travel half way across the continent to
keep these Lent engaS ements.
The entry in numbers Of women into
business districts, and their attendance
on noon day services has tended TO
multiply these services. A cause for
the unusual increase this Lent is the
more serious aspect Of the public mind
growing out of war, and of the respOn-
sibility Of the unemployed. People who
formerly went to theaters now go to
church in the afternoon or do some
other social work. 1t is declared by
leaders in half a dozen bodies that IN
no direction are changes because Of the
war likely to be more radical or more
lasting than in the churches. This
Lent shows one Of the signs Of these
changes.
