New Haven had secured control OF two

them off.
With evident relish. he related the
story of having, as manager of the New

knees by threatening a rate cut, and Of
making such nuisance of himself that
he was virtually bought off by the New

Billy" Sundays sermon yester-

those sects and individuals who say
there is no everlasting torment for
such as reject Christ and a debate
with those sects which hold that hell
is not eternal, but that person goes
there after death to be purged and
finally admitted to heaven.

an everlasting hell than l am that
the sun will rise tomorrow morning" /"
he declared.
''On what grounds do you argue
that heaven is eternal and hell isn't?
On the grounds that you're an idiot.
I have read the Bible and studied 1T
with all the best commentaries and
have never found one single verse
that gives the faintest iota of ground
for such belief and defy any man
to prove to me by scripture that 1t
Is so. II there's reward there must
be punishment.
Some preachers try to lull the soul into
a false feeling of security by repudiating
the doctrine of hell. They do it to be
popular with certain gang. I won't
adjust Gods truth to suit your miserable
way to living. II you won't believe
there's a hell you can go to the devil

who try to say there is no hell. They're

Quotes Scripture.
He quoted numerous scripture serses
to prove the everlasting nature of hell.
Hell isn't a college" he said, where
you enter as a freshman and graduate
after your senior year with wings. If q
man serves the devil, he'll go to hell.
That's right and proper. If man trans
crosses mans law he goes to the peni-

WHITLOCK REPORT

London Press Comments on Story to
Be Told Of Execution Of Miss
Cavell by the Germans.
ONE PARALLEL IS CITED

LONDON, Oct. 21.-The circum-
stances connected with the execution
by the German authorities at Brus-
sells OF Miss Edith Cavell, a British
nurse, occupy constantly increasing
attention in London. The forthcom-
ing publication OF the report of
Brand Whitlock, American minister
to Belgium, on his efforts in Miss
CaveIl's behalf. is awaited with keen
est interest. This report will be
published in tomorrow morning q
newspapers. The Mail Gays the re-
port is long one and adds;
'This account, will strike note of
horror throughout the world. II waI tell
, OF the wonderful heroism of woman
who had nursed German wounded. II
will tell OF the greatest fight for wo-
mans life that was ever fought, OF un-
availing efforts Of mobiles and neutrals
to combat the callous secret cunning Of
the German
letter from Miss CayelI.
The Post publishes today letter from
Miss Cavelrs cousin concerning her de-
votion to her work as a nurse. II says:
My cousins devotion to tho reliev-
Ing OF suffering caused her to devote her
life TO nursing in Brussels. She volun-
tarily remained there to continue her
work when the city was taken by the
Germans. She would have nursed Ger
man with as much tender care as an
Englishman.
I'm letter to me she said: We have
no wounded here now. The allies do
not come here and the Germans are sent
back 70 their own country. The few that
remain are nursed by their own country
women, so we are denied the great con-
ISOLATION Of being OF use In our own
special way
She allowed the womanly qualities OF
compassion 10 get the better OF her
prudence and self interest. For this she
suffered untold mlseries and died a
martyrs death"
Draw n Parallel.
English newspapers draw parallel
between the case OF Miss Cavell In Bel
gium and that OF Mrs. Louise Herbert
who was sentenced TO six months impris-
oment as spy in England. Mrs. Her
bert's appeal was heard at Durham yes
terday. She Is German. wife OF an Eng
llsh curate at Darlington. She admitted
that she, had sought information regard
ing munitions and intended TO send this
information TO Germany. The Judge
asked her yesterday:
did you intend to send the information
70 Germany II you got the chance7"
..'Yes l did she replied.
Mrs. Herbert also admitted she had
corresponded with Germany through
friends In Switzerland. The judge, aston
ished by her frank answers remarked:
This woman has a conscience, She
wishes TO answer truthfully and deserves
credit for that. At tho same time she
Is dangerous"
The Judge affirmed the sentence OF six

complete. Very little improvement il
necessary to maintain it in order fol
whatever purpose 1t may be used.
l believe there is large unexpend-
ed balance of the direct income of this
institution on hand. l also believe that
the appropriation made two years ago
was excessively large. A great deal OF
economy could be practiced in the APP
preparation for the ensuing biennial
period without impairing the efficiency
in the least.
The Lewiston Normal
The Lewiston Normal is composed
of an old building erected many years
ago, with a new addition. This in
stitution, if the state increase in pop
ulation within the next three or four
years, ought to have another addition
constructed and the old one be aban-
doned The building is not as we'll
kept as it might be- 1t also requires
some little interior improvements to
make it as attractive as a state institu-
ton ought to be.
The room for the heating plant has
partly fallen in, and an appropriation
ought to be made to cover the same.
The estimate furnished during my visit
there, was about $500 for that pur-
pose.
The city of Lewiston is levying a
sidewalk tax against the campus,
which / think is absolutely unneces-
sary. There is a good cement walk
on every side of the campus and there
are good walks leading through it and
can see no reason why there should
be a cement walk around the states
l believe that wherever the
state has an institution located, no
should be allowed to
make any special assessment against
it, and the people of Lewiston gener-
ally are not in favor of it, as the city
takes great pride in its normal school
and the citizens, generally, desire to
help it instead of impeding its de-
