The trial is ended. Sentence is
pronounced. Christ is crucIned.
As We gaze upon the crowd that
surrounds that cross. lines of
cleverage reveal themselves. The
multitude separates into groups.
Three such groups stand or sit
about the cross. They represent
three different attitudes OF mind
toward Him who hangs there
crucihed:-antipathy. apathy, SYM
PATTY.
The principals figures in the
nrst group r the chief priests
and elders together with the
scribes and ph~arisees. the leaders
OF religion.
Just at the foot OF the cross. in
their appointed place. as the
death, sits a small company OF Ro-
man soldiers. the Governors
guard. They have had their part
10 play in this whole tragedy and.
throughout, that part has been
animated by the single. consistent
spirit OF apathy.
Away out on the edge OF the
crowd at first but creeping closer
as the multitude melts away be-
fore the grewsome darkness and
terrifying earthquake until they
stand at last at the very foot OF
the cross. Is the little company OF
women who followed Jesus from
Galilee and 'ministered to Him OF
their substance" with them is
Mary, the Blessed Mother, and
with them also stands John. the
beloved disciple-the only man
there-he who alone OF all the dis
ciples has kept courage enough
TO remain and e the end. Such
was the third group at the foot OF
the cross, the group that repre-
sents sympathy.
Suppose each OF us asks him
self the question in which group
should | have been had l been at
Calvary" Perhaps II is easy
enough TO answer that question
now as we look back on that scene
bathed in the light Of nineteen
Christian centuries. You have no
doubt where you would have

or less clear and plain.
But how Is IL now, now in this

perhaps only by hair-brained re-
FORMERS, fanatics and visionaries,
as we esteem them. II Is ridiculed
prosecuted. even crucihed. This
Is the passion OF to-day: these are
the Golgothas of our civilization.
Now what is your attitude to-
ward that cause of Christ in the
time OF its passion? Do you see
yourself against IL In hostile array
because, forsooth. the rest q
your world, your clique or set IN
society, business or the church
does? Do you perhaps oppose 4

Therefore you take your stand

You stand in the group OF apathy.

WIRE COURTsHIP ENDED.
Bank Cashier and Telephone Operator
Elope and Get Married.

Kansas City, Dec. 1S.-Two years
ago Benton A. McCau1ey, cashier of a
bank at Olivet. Kan, put in long dis
lance call from his bank. Miss Ruby
Littren, operator at Waverly, Kan,
got the connection for the cashier.
Thursday they were married at the
courthouse here by Justice Casimir ].
WEIGH.
The groom is 81 and the bride 10
years old. After failing for two years
to convince their parents that they
could not live without each other,
they eloped to Kansas City.
After that first long distance call.
McCauley had occasion to use the
same wire many more times. Numer-
Gus calls introduced the couples
voices to each other, and on business
trip to Waverly the cashier met the
telephone operator Miss LittrelI is the
daughter of a well-eo-do farmer near
Waverly. The couple will return to
Olivet, where they will live.

HUSKINC AS SPORT
State Should Spend Money to
Promote "Pastime."
Farmers Would Substitute
Shuckin' Peg for Ball Bat.

It's corn shocking time in Kan
sas and reported from through
out the corn section of the
state indicate that never before
has there been such a lively interest in
corn husking contests. Each county
has its contests and a number of indi-
viduals are claiming the state cham
pionship. Individual contests have
been numerous in the last few weeks
and it is reported that in some of
these as many as 136 bushels of corn
have been shucked and cribbed in nine
hours.
Husking bees in which whole COM
munities gather for the work have
been more numerous this year than
previously. In these the men and boys
have husked and cribbed great piles
of corn. regarding it as sport, while
the women folk prepared a dinner for
the guests.
Corn husking teams have been or
ganiZed with picked huSkerS as men,
bers in several localities in the state
and these contests, temporarily at
least, have replaced baseball, football,
basketball and tennis as sports A re-
cent letter to Arthur Capper, governor
of Kansas, inviting him to attend
husking bee near Trousdale, suggested
that if the same amount of money
should be spent annually in promoting
corn husking mines as has been spent
in Kansas on other sports. the state
would be much better off financially.
Schools Allow Time Off.
Six young women belonging to the
Ladies' Aid society of a Mankato
church recently gathered forty bushels
of corn in one and half hours, haul
ed the yield to town and sold it that
the money derived might be available
for the use of the society. The grain
was given the organization as it stood
in the field and that they might not
be obliged to pay for the husking, the
young women went into the field and
did the work themselves.
Allowances have been made also in
some of the school districts of the
state for those boys, who because of
corn shocking have been unable to
attend the regular sessions. The ini-
tiative in this was taken at Fairview,
where a night school was established |
that the boys might assist in the fields |
during the day and still retain their |
class standing.

The prayer meetings being held
daily in all parts of the city have been
very largely attended. however, and a
conviction has been taking hold of the
community that many would yet be
saved through the instrumentality of
these meetings, which belief was veri-
fled last night when many of our bust
ness men, adult women and high
school scholars. 35 in all, made a posi-
tive stand for Christ.
This night, with business men COM

profession of religion even after the
meeting had adjourned, has made a
profound impression upon the public
mind and all are looking forward to a
glorious termination for this series of
meetings.

previous evening, which might easily
have resulted fatally, was the spark
that set the flame which brought. so

community in the coming weeks.

BIG CROPS BRING TROUBLE.
Revenue Collector After Farmers for
Probable IncOme Tax.

Dodge City. Kan, Dec 1S.-Don T.
Henry, formerly of Liberal and now
internal revenue inspector with head
quarters at Little Rock, Ark, has been
investigating the books of a number
of business firms in Dodge City during
the last few days. He suspects
that there are number of men
here who should pay an income
tax to the government, but who
have failed to make reports of
their entire incomes. High prices for
wheat and good crops the last year or
two have also rendered numerous
farmers in this section liable to suspi-
cion. Mr.. Henry has sent out sum-
mons to 81 farmers to meet him to
give a report of their incomes. Due to
the fact that the average farmer does
not keep books. Mr.. Henry says it is
difficult to find out what their IN
comes are In many cases the farmer
doesn't realize himself how fast his
wealth is piling up.
