Talks on Words Of Jesus.


Rev. Robert Johnston, missioner at the
Church of the Epiphany. this noon con-
tinued his talks on the words of Jesus.
The reason we do not live the life of God.
the speaker said, is because we do not see
! the way clearly We will live it, he said,
through following Christ, whom all men
can understand. A special mission for
children is being held at the Church of the
Epiphany this afternoon at o'clock. Spe-
cial meetings for women only are being
conducted each afternoon at this church
by Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett and are be-
ing largely attended.
In spite of the inclement weather large
present at the mission services yesterday
at st. Stephens Church. Nearly 300
children and $50 adults were at the and
8 o'clock services. respectively. The mis-
| subject at both services ''The Devil" and
treated it in three general divisions First,
the war in heaven: second. the downfall
Of Satan. and. third, the vision of
by Christ. His text was 81 beheid Satan
as Lightning Fell From Heaven"
In the instruction, Rev. Officer plead for
sincerity in searching out past and pres
ent strongholds of Satan, whether in small
vices or great sins
Religion and Habit"
d
st. Margaret's Church last night on
Religion and Habit" Law" he said,
being the way God loves US. the law
of habit may be seen as way in which
God especially loves us. This law ought
inestimably to serve life. The power
of habit is a pretty gloomy phrase
habit on its damaging side-just as
| men used to think of electricity as a
destructive force, seeing it in the light
ming alone. Men have applied this
mense service of life-and when truly
wise men will so apply the law of
| habit. Everything depends upon the
direction given it, the use made Of it.
and the one as readily as the other.
1t will ruin us. this law of habit, il
we are ignorant, but it will save us
! il we are wise.
The missioner speaks at tonight's
service on Religion and Tolerances."
Congregations Increase.
| The mission Conducted by Dean Ver-
| non at st. Marks Church. on Capitol
HILL is already having marked ef-
feet upon the community, it is stated.
In spite of rainstorms the congrega-
tions at all services have shown a
| steady increase. Under the leadership
of the organist. Mr.. Wood. the congre-
gational singing has proved a remark
able feature of the mission, and the
large congregation which assemblies
before the mission service sings with
| great enthusiasm and energy. The
singing can be heard for blocks.
| Dean Vernon has something new ev-
cry night to teach the people and to
keep their interest alive. He gives
| them a fresh duty each night or new
prayer to learn or a new resolution to
make. While this mission is intended
primarily for the people OF East Wash
| ington. il Is being attended by people
from all over the city.

THE HEROIC CORPORAL.
His Victory Over Twenty-Five Ger.
man Soldiers Strains ~Credulity.

To EDITOR OF THE SuN-Str: II
THE SUN OF October 2 a wonderful tale
of bravery Ia published. the defeat Of
twenty-five German soldiers by a Cana
dian corporal, II is old by IA Canadian
eyewitness. Wonderful. indeed! What
a pity the British had no such fighters
at Balaclava' Instead OF 600. half a
dozen such men OF valor should have
been sufficient TO make that immortal
charge!
II Is hard to understand, however,
that with such paladins in the British
ranks. the Germans have not long ago
been driven out of France and Belgium,
aye. even TO Berlin. Or Is this hero the
only fighter they have, and are all the
rest "mutts." TO use a slang expression,
like the Canadian eyewitness. who
watched his comrade fighting against
such superior numbers without raising
a hand to aid him?
This story reminds me forcibiy OF tho
one printed early In tho war, according
to which a French girl captured a party
Of German soldiers. the brave girl hav-
ing no weapon but a broomstick. Her
name, by the way, was "M%enteuse." Can
II be possible. by any chance, that the
eyewitness In the present case IL
named "Menteur'2 ". c. WIELANp.

A Fable.

Once upon a time the producers Of q
necessary Of life, q substance known
as kim, decided that they must have
more money for It. SO they struck.
The purveyors of kiln stood out for a
while, but finally yielded and added
che extra money demanded by the
producers to the retail price.
Thereupon the public. which was
Thought to be Injured to footing the
bill, revolted. The public could not
get along entirely without kiln. but
by studying ways and means 1t re
duced the consumption OF that COM
modify by about one-half.
The producers and purveyors OF
Kiln. finding their business cut In half,
complained exceedingly. It was not
until they had convinced the public
that the use Of force was an I'M
worthy means Of gaining an end that
the public relented. and through Its
representatives ordered a careful
and judicial inquiry into the costs
Of producing and retailing kim. But
this investigation, while comprehen-
sive, only developed n set Of facts
from which the producers. the purvey-
ors and the consumers drew three
totally different sets of conclusions
aud the consumers continued to pay.

IS THE GROUND TOO LOW?
Splnes Creak when Bent to II. Hence
the High Cost Of Food.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: In
1898. or th%ereabout. everything was
cheap. Wheat was selling for so cents a
bushel. corn 25. oats below 20. Pork chops
n turkey were 6 and 10 cents a pound
respectively. Those were strenuous
times. Plenty to eat everywhere. but no
money TO buy. The trusts. TO quote one
Of u statesmen, had labor crucihed on
a golden cross. Populists were pulling
their whiskers IN wrath and the farmers,
unable to sell their butter at any price
were using it as axle grease.
Things are different now. Wheat Is
selling at $3.50. corn at 30 cents and
oats at half . dollar a bushel and all
tho rest Just a. high in proportion. and

Special Kinds Of Dishonesty.

The Misrepresentation Of the Adam
son law as granting an EIGHT hour
day. has now become a standard fea-
ture OF the Democratic campaign. 1t
has been INDUCED in extensively by
President WILSON and Chairman
VANCE MCCORMICK, and has lately
been used by the able minded Sec
rotary OF the Interior, FRANKLIN
KNIGHT LANE.
Whatever may be thought OF Sec.
rotary LANE, there Is no question but
that his intellectuals are keen enough
to pierce to the truth Of this matter.
Consequently we must face the fact
that in the Democratic defence Of
the eight hour pay law we have to
deal with intellectual dishonesty.
There are many special kinds of
dishonesty, but are there really any
distinctions among them? Is intel
lectual dishonesty any better than
any other form Of dishonesty?

A UNIQUE Reciprocity.

That the utilization Of scientifically
N~scertained facts Of n practical pur-
nose finds illustration In hitherto lit
lie regarded spheres Is demonstrated
In a recent article on 1.-THE Campaign
Against Snake Poisoning in Brazil"
published In the BraztI Medfco Of Rio
lie Janeiro. The State Of Sac Paulo
In southern Brazil leads the world In
successful efforts to combat what Is
technically termed ophidism, but Is
commonly known as snake poisoning.
It maintains IN institute for the
manufacture and distribution Of anti
toxin for the treatment OF persons
bitten by snakes. The antitoxin Is
furnished free Of cost and delivered
at my point in the State.
Records are kept Of all reported
cobra bites, which produce 4.S0O
deaths and 10000 wounds annually.
The institute urges the authorities Of
other sections of Brazil to organize
similar relief stations for the prompt
administration OF antitoxin, and Of.
fers to exchange the latter for sup
plies Of the cobra poison, which II
requests. Instructions for the admin.
lstration Of the antidote are SEN with
each package. 1t has been practically
demonstrated that there are four
groups of snakes, and that from each
a special antitOxin may be prepared
that Is effective only in cases Of poi
soning by the same kind Of snake.
An antitoxin prepared IN French
Laboratories from the venom Of ser.
penis obtained in British India fails
90 act against the bites Of Brazilian
tnakps. The success of this unique
Seciprocity method is attested by Oh.

STRIKES.
An Advocate Of Unionism Denounces

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Str: No

feeling American citizen. native or nat
uralised. exercises the least measu Of
antagonim toward the striking OF the
members Of . labor union, provided It
be conducted without exhibitions OF vio-
lence against their employers or their
property or being d~isregardful Of the
public peace. Labor unionism. conducted
within the law, is not un-American. and
therefore has the Endorsement OF a large
percentage Of the population Of this re-
public. But when II comes to the call
ing out Of hundreds Of thousands OF
wage earners associated with other labor
unions having no afiliation whatever
with or material interest in the status
Of the striking labor union, that is an
other question entirely.
The limiting even at such a call by
any labor union leader Cor misleader,
rather) would be utterly shameless. and
he should he instantly arrested and
promptly dealt with by the Grand Jury,
swiftly tried and convicted and Gagged
for many years as a Just penalty for his
objectionable crime against not only
the public peace but also the best in
tersst of legally organized labor unions
themselves. This matter has gone sum
ciently far along the wrong road to
Justify our Governor in converting the
Legislature in special session to enact
a statute carrying with II heavy penal
ties for the sympathetic strike. Genuine
American liberty is being systematically
undermined by poiittco-industrial license.
