TIE FAITH THAT WEARS.
~ CHARLES N. LURE

IMk kAII0 IWAI WkARS,
The only faith that wears well and
holds its color In all weathers Is that
which il woven Of conviction and Get
with the sharp mordant Of experience"
says Lowell.
First. Of course, you have to know
the meaning Of the word 'mordant,"
which may be unfamiliar to some read
ers.
Here's the dictionary Of It:
'MOrdant. any substance. rs alum or
copperas, which, having a twofold at
traction for organic fibers and coloring
matter. serves as a bond of union and
thus gives tixity to. or bites in. the
dyes
1t Is a good metaphor. that of com
pairing the faith that shall serve as a
shield against the trials and dlsap
pointments Of life, and be an evidence
Of belief visible to all men. to a gar
ment that Is made of the cloth Of firm
belief and IL dyed In the cOlors Of ex.
perience. The sentence shows the pen
marks Of the finished literary artist.
He tells US that before our faith may
become a sure refuge we must believe
In 1t firmly. We must be convinced
Of its truth
There must be no faltering. no ''ifs"
or but" We must believe with a
whole souled. strong. unshakable be
lief in the power not ourselves that
makes for righteousness." the ,power
that rules the world and WIN saf an
things right in its own good time.
whatever men may do to impede the
progress of right on this earth.
We must hold. with Tennyson:
Oh. yet we trust that somehow good
VIII be the final goal of ILL.,
That nothing walks with aimless feet:
That not one life shall be destroyed
Or cast as rubbish to the void
When God hath made the pile complete.
We may adorn our faith II we will
with the addition of unessential doc
trine But the background Of the pat
tern must be the belief which is
"wOven Of conviction"
As life goes on the thinking man.
with deep, sincere belief In righteous
ness and its power Of ruling all lives,
holds faster and faster to the faith
that all will yet be well. even If the
explanations Of some things are still
hidden from mortal eyes.
That is setting the cOlOrs Of life with
"the sharp mordant Of experience"
II il a belief and hope that are born
Of the soul Of man and not Of the ex-
periences OF the body. The latter pass;
the former Is immortal.

There is one thiag that has q

the negro witness and following the in- terview the negro signed an affidavit to the effect that he had lied about the officers This negro. maimed from the effects of the Interview" still lives in Beesemer but his lips are sealed.
 He will not talk about any white man. All this negro wants is to be left alone. He knows what it means to appear be- fore grand jury against a Bessemer officer.
 Other little trifiing things that the Bes- semer police have done is that one of it's members calmly walloped the chief one balmy afternoon in the center of the city and escaped without even a repri- mand.
 Perhaps the most human act of the city officials of Bessemer is that 1t paid up the embezzement of an officer to a corporation and is at the present time taking up this amount in monthly install ments from this officers salary. This of- ficer is highly trusted-in fact, members of the police commission stated they wanted to give the young man chance.
 From some of the above allegations, all of which are bound to come out in the public investigation, and others of q more serious nature. it can readily be imagined that there will be some thing doing In Bessemer during the com ing week.
