GOING TO HEAR HAMMERSMITH

IF a stranger come amongst u.s."
continues Mr.. HARDWOOD, "and judge us
merely by external signs, would he be
helped to worship? If, for instance,
when the minister said Let US pray
he saw a man here and there settling
himself in a comfortable attitude, as
a non-musical man might who was
condemned to listen TO a song, would
that help him? But more important
than the attitude of the body is that
attitude of the soul which creates a
spiritual atmosphere.
The purpose of the church is to turn
out men and women Of whom people
will feel these are Christians" Are
we making that III supreme end?
This is the n thing needful. The
church has undertaken many things,
but it will stand or fall according as
it fulfills this purpose or fails to full
fill it. The world will judge us and
respect us not by the number of peo-
pie we get into our churches, cattle
shows and football matches, but by
the kind Of men and m we are
producing. Is the one end at which
we chiefly aim to produce men and wo-
men Of true Christian character?
And finally, in our church life, does
it's worship create in men the passion
for the service of their fellow-men?
1t is the greatest of the crusades to
win back our land for the Christ who
alone can redeem 1t from all its sins
and sorrows. Is that crusade preached
amongst us as 1t should be? Where
1t is so preached land preached by men
who really believe it, there will be no
lack Of response. The one %all-inclus-
i've question is this has Christ, the
living Christ, His due place in His
own church,"
We need to uplift our whole concep-
ton Of the Christian church to a high
er level. We must cleanse the Chris
tian church of the ~littleness that has
crept into it. The sermon-tasters and
the cranks, and the little peddling
people must be mended or ended, and
the church give herself to one commits
son, the worship of God, the creation
of Christian manhood, and the inspira-
ton to a true and unselfish service of
humanity.
Does anyone so doubt that IL the en-.
tire church were cleansed those who
come for merely selfish good and en-
%tertainment would be on their knees.
The really consecrated church will not
be long sought as a cloak of RESPONSE.

RICHARDS TO MAKE FIGHT

In a suit instituted in the circuit
court of Beadle county, P. j. Murphy,
Henry A. Perriton and r. o. Richards
seed an injunction against the auditor
of Beadle county restraining him from
furnishing the registration books and
supplies under the primary law adopt
ed by the last legislature, says a Huron
dispatch.
The object of the suit is to test the
question whether the legislature pos
sesses the power of repeating a law
adopted by the people under the in
itiative and referendum. The Rich
ards primary law was adopted by the
people at the election held in 1912.
In 1914 the Coffey primary law was
submitted to the people which, If
adopted, would have repealed the
Richards primary law, but 1t was de-
feated. Thus the people Of the state
have by their votes approved of the
Richards primary law at the election
in 1912 and 1914.
Notwithstanding the approval by the
people In November, 1914, the legisla-
ture of 1915 enatced the new primary
law in conflict with the Richards pr
mary law and by which the latter was
repealed. The emergency clause was
tackled on to the law with the idea
of preventing action by the people un-
der the referendum.
When the legislature of 1915 passed
the act repeating the Richards PR.
mary law, the friends of the law ques-
toned the authority Of the Legislature
to repeal . law enacted By the people
under the initiative clause Of the con.
stitution. They were met with the

the Circuit court OF kanawha
county, TO restrain the Adams Ex-
press Company from delivery Of

Judge Keller, Of the United States
court for the southern district Of
West Virginia, denied the appliea-

Delivery Is a Sale.
Mr. Blue held that the soIieita-

the state had the right 10 prohibit
such actions; that the purchase
was made where the goods were
delivered and not az the point
from whence the goods were

Keller, and Mr.. Blue appealed 20
the United States Court OF Ap-
