If she had her way she would wipe every badge off the face of the earth.
 Senator Futile asked her if an age limit was to be fixed what she would make it? She replied that she would not fix any age limit.
 Principal c. l.. Anes of the Brown School, Hartford, cited a number of instances where newsboys had been successful in after life, including President Luther of Trinity College as one example.

Kerr's Discoveries. Remember
them.
There is no real god; man
has no soul; life ends forever at
death"
Mr.. Kerr you say that your
church and school are for the
enlightment of mankind. There
IT, question that we wish to ask
FOUR. worthy friend Mr.. Kerr,
and that is this: Please give us
the origin Of man?" You may
say to US that you nave hereto.
fsre answered this-we have
never saw it and we are too poor
to pay anything for it,, yet, we
would II we could. But we
trust that we may receive Mr.,
Kerr's belief Oh mans origin.
We glory in the attitude he
places himself, in regard to the
God Of the nations at war. We do
not believe in their God. While
we believe in a God of the uni,
verse, we only believe in the god
Of war 90 the great character
who is opposing our God with
al bis power. And who today
is at the head of that terrible
war. Those nations over there
swho claim 20 be christian ma.
'stions, are not. Our God is a God
Of peace, and He is a God of
ivve: but under the one man
theory, those who claim to be
His followers, are making Him
out q god of murders, a god that
has no mercy. No feeling of
friendship about Him. But a
cold cruel, beartless god.
We cannot help but give Mr.,
Kerr credit for condemning
such q god. But when we find
out what his belief is on the
origin of man; we then shall give
to him and his believers a God
Of Friendship, Love and Truth"
A God that his eyes can behold
In everything that he looks upon.
II we do not: after our wishes
have been complied with, in re.
gard to his belief on the origin
Of man. then we will be willing to
acknowledge that we cannot
The reason we want our
friends belief, is to give US the
evidence from his own pen, his
error in belief. Now we believe
Shat our friend is honest in his
beAaf. But as we were once
honestly wrong; probably he is
Ia the same condition. Readers
look for the fulfillment of our
promise when we get our re.
quest granted.
