OF absorbing interest for whatever Is

upper branches Of the Angio-Saxon tree.
IT, in their compulsory service bill they
have permitted exemptions for starred

In ours exemptions whereby wealth could
avoid service by hiring substitutes or by
the payment Of Communication in money.
II they have attempted 70 meet the de-
mands OF hrst-line troops with forces un-
trained for the purpose, we have done
likewise. II they have created a null
titude Of forces in time of peace-regu-
lars, militia, volunteers and yeomanry-
to be merged In time Of war into one ma
tional army. Ineffective short Of two
years service, so have we created regu-
lars, militia, volunteers students and
business mems leagues, with the same
defects. II they have endeavored la
boriously to create a territorial force
based upon voluntary service and COM
plete In all its parts, yet founding II on
shifting sand by providing that whole
units might volunteer for service In the
national army Of war. so have We at
tempted to create an organized State
militia with the same fundamental defect.
II they have resorted TO the most I'M

Roosevelt carried progressive Republican cities
like Hsverhill and Brockton; but his campaign
went to pieces on all the clipped lawns of the

al the tabernacle I believe Mr.. Sundays
converts will show a better percentage
that stick and reap their final reward
than those converted by our ministers.
My reasons for saying this are: Mr..
Sunday In his very plain way Of speak
ing, makes q person. even children, IN
oerstand what sin is and what the pen
atty will be II he does not repent, or
what the reward will be II he does re-
pent and accept Jesus as his Saviour.
Nose. of the Present Day.
1t Is true that he is vehement in his
denunciation OF sin and sometimes uses
words that CRATE on the ears" Of those
that read the newspapers and never hear
him speak. Sometimes 1t is the truth
that hurts. He only tells the truth as
found In the Bible. II, as you say, min
listers and Sunday school teachers" hit
the trail, so much the better for them
and Baltimore. All praise TO the man
that can convert such as these-if the
shepherd is a good shepherd he will lead
his sheep in green pastures and by still
waters.
why is 1t necessary for Baltimore or
any other city to send for Mr.. Sunday"
He is the Moses of the present day in
the wilderness Of sin and the voice Of
John the Baptist crying, Repent. pre-
pare ye the way of the Lord and make
His paths straight" There was only one
Moses, only one John the Baptist. only
one Luther. and there Is only one Billy
Sunday.
Who gave Mr.. Sunday this $4,000 love
token? His converts, his friends, and
the people that heard him. The people
that criticise him will soon be seen al
the cirCn4 will hs harn for Fxrn
days. and when It is gone will the city
be any better? What will il leave us for
an inheritance, for the thousands Of dol
lars IL carries away? Nothing. Mr. Sun
day was in Baltimore for eight weeks
and what did he leave behind? Better
men. better women and children. happy
homes where there had been broken
homes, and best Of all the Christian
hope for an eternal life.

Editor Of The Washington Herald: Let
me express my gratifics ton upon read
ing your editorial in The Herald Of April
q. on Rewards for Soul Saving" The
Bible does hold out hopes for stars in
their crowns for those who turn many TO
righteousness" but gives no grounds for
successful collections here below. The
great head of the church became poor
that he might make many rich" and
when any depart from this rule the doubt
persists whether they are disciples Of
His in any sense OF the word.
So far, the good sense of Washington
has resisted the efforts OF weIl-meaning
but deluded souls to bring Billy Sun
day here with his billingsEate to con-
vert souls. who would be like the con-
verts OF decsdent Judaism in Chrisrs
time, whom he denominsted two fold
more the children Of hell" than before
their alleged conversion.

version of souls by the right means
