. A LITTLE LIGHT ON A LARGE
SUBJECT.

"
There is q complaint among sec
tartan clergymen of all denominations
OF a falling off i'll church attendance
and they declare they don't know
bow to account for it. Some assert
that there is quite as much religion
of the jealous, selfsacrifcing sort
as there was thirty years ago; L deep
interest in religious questions, a gen
eral demand for Bibles and the litera-
ture that used to be classed as 'divin-
ity." But-the sad fact remains that
people can't be induced TO attend
church unless 4 revival is going on.
One prominent preacher has cX-
pressed desire to have light on the
subject from any source. He insists
that appearances are deceitful; that
people may talk a great deal about
religion and yet have little or no
personal interest in it; and he main
tains that il the present generation
of Americans were as religious az
they are supposed to be, they would
attend church better than they do.
Ministers of the Gospel are gen
orally credited with goodness, but they
do not, as a class, enjoy reputation
for good sense 1t is astonishing
how unwise these nious men some
times prove themselves 10 be. They
complain Of empty pews, and yet they
themselves are the cause of it. 1t
is true that many persons have no
real use for religion, and, seemingly,
no belief in a hereafter. But it is also
true that grace is superintendent
like water and air and sunshine. And
preachers ought to remember that
grace is Ofttimes WOndrOusly swift in
its action. Like st. Paul's jailor-
who was ready to commit suicide one
minute and was on his knees the next,
crying, What must | do that | may
be sayed?'-Countless persons who are
entirely taken up with worldly affairs
for six days of the week are sometimes
eager to hear the Gospel preached
in all its sternness when the seventh
comes round. But, instead of TAX
ing advantage of these good dispo-
sitions, and reminding their flocks of
the hereafter, and the Judgment that
awaits them, too many ministers
discourse on secular subjects, thus
emptying the pews which they com
plain are not full.
A non-Catholic gentleman of our
acquaintance once sent us a clipping
from one of the Chicago papers of
Monday having this headline in bold
type: Five Leading Pastors on Fore
most News Topics Of the Day" Dr.
Jackson talked on politics, the Rev.
Mr. Salter discoursed on strikes,
Brother Lazenby expounded his views
on the war, etc. Not one of these
pious men preached on the Gospel
or gave out what the Scotch call a
Comfortable Scripture" The audi
ences hupgered for bread, and the
speakers reached them a stone.
AS a rule pulpit discourses that are
entirely appropriate are entirely too
long. The preacher who aims at eX-
hausting his subject is sure to exhaust
His hearers. There is no bore like
a long-winded preacher. His auditors
are at his mercy. To get away they
can not, to sleep they are ashamed.
Instead of exercising patience, as they
should, they are apt to eXecrate the
preacher, as they should not.
The wonder is not that so many
Protestant persons seldom go to
church, but that they so to church at

OF GEORGIA
PROHIBITION LAW ARGUED

Atlanta, June Arguments involv-
ing the constitutionality of the Geor-
gia prohibition law were begun here
today before Federal Judges Pardee,
Newman and Speer in the case Of the
Ocilla. Pine Bloom and Valdosta rail
road which is seeking to prevent Sher-
if Rickerson, Coffee county, Georgia,
from completing the seizure of two
carloads OF liquor.
According to testimony laid before
federal judges, Sheriff Rickerson. act
ing under instructions from state
judge, attempted to confiscate TWO
carloads of whiskey billed as house
hold" goods shipped over the plain
tins road to Wiley Williams and Geo
Davis. The cars containing the liquor
were sidetracked IN Coffee county
The railroad obtained a Temporal
order from Judge Speer in Macon, re-
straining the sheriff from making the
seizure. Later the sheriff got an
order from Judge Speer appointing
custodians for the consignment and
the railroad then filed an amended
petition for injunction alleging that
the liquor had been rebilled to Jack
sonville before the Georgia law be-
came effective on May l.
Judge Speer ruled that the consti-
tutionality of the law was involved
and more than one federal Judge would
be required to pass on the case.
At conclusion of argument today the
three judges took the case under ad-
visement.

MOTHER WAITS WHILE SON
PAYS DEATH PENALTY

Ossining, N. Y, June 5.-Scarcely a
hundred yards from the prison en-
trance at Sing Sing pathetic look
ing woman kept a solitary vigil to-
day while her son was being shocked
TO death in the electric chair. The
woman was Mrs. c. Hensing mother
of Roy Champaign, who paid the
states claim for the murder of his
uncle. Henry McGhee in Wellsville, a
year ago.
The broken hearted mother paid a
last visit to her son early last even
ing. Returning late at night she stood
under a tree on the prison grounds
and waited All night she stood dry
eyed motionless, a toil-wOrn, frail
little woman of middle age who
showed the tragedy she was under
going only in her dull hopeless eyes.
When the witnesses for the execu-
ton began to arrive she asked where
the death chamber was. When its To-
cation was pointed out she started in
its direction until Father Cashin, the
prison chaplain, returning from the
prison gently told her that her son
was dead.

PRESIDENT YUAN
OF CHINA is DEAD


Picking, June 6--Yuan Shi Kai. pres
ident. of the Chinest republic, died to;
day. Premier Tuan Chi-Jui immedi-
ately advised Lu Yuan Hung, the vice
president, of his succession to the
presidency
Guam Shi Kai had been i'll for sew
eral days with stomach trouble, which
was followed by nervous breakdown.
Quiet prevails today in the capitol.
The death of the president apparently
solves the heated political crisis. Lii
Yuan Hung's succession to the presi-
dency meets the demands of the lead
ers in the southern provinces.
Yuan Shi Kai died at / o'clock this
morning in the palace, surrounded by
his wives and older children. Rumors
that he committed suicide are denied
stoutly by high officials.
Commandments of the legation guards
including the German and Austrian,
met and discussed the situation here,
coming to the decision that rioting
was unlikely. The American and
British commandments advised the ma
tionals living outside the legation guar
tiers that it was safe to remain there
for the present
Ii Yuan Hung will take the presi-
Dental oath tomorrow. #2s
