tween Romanism, which makes
church rites essential to salvation
and MISREPRESENTATION which con-
demns them wholesale as unspiritual,
Romish, foolish. But no one can
deny that within the last generation.
other denominations have shown a
strong tendency toward better ap-
probation of church rites. Witness
the ritual form OF worship. lessons,
church architecture and furnishings
of many leading Methodist, Baptist
and Presbyterian churches. They find
these things not contrary to their
denominational tradition, and per-
fectly in harmony with the teachings
of Scripture: Psalm 27:4 and l
Corinthians 14:26. 10, etc.
II We agree with Emerson that such
human appointments are but the
husks surrounding the kernel of truth
we yet feel that even Emerson has
not found the way to produce the
kernel without the husk. And by try

the husk. we do not make them less
appreciative of the pure grain. Tha,

OF church rites.
The application of this lesson could
safely be left to the individual reader
Certainly many who have been in
the habit of criticising the visible
Church because OF its many imper-
fections, and have refrained from at
tending the public services of worship
on the ground that they could be
good Christians without going to
church, ought to begin with the two
men of the parable, and go into the
temple to pray"
And being there, they would see
others like themselves and hear the
songs of Zion and the psalms of the
believers and the invitation TO a
blessed spiritual feast, and feeling
their own unworthiness would be leo
to smite their breast and cry: God
be thou merciful to me a sinner.
And again the other passage of the
same parable would be sweetly true:

The Pickets Jailed.

There is an echo of the Presi-
dents phrase about the arm hand

six suffragettes; a touch of ruth
Iessness in their Incarceration at
occoquan along with women of the

fiotsam and jetsam. Still. the suf-
tragettes are not looking for SYM
pathy. and 1t need not be wasted
upon them.
The police have arrived at a pol
icy. although no one knows wheth-
CT II will be sufficiently stable and
consistent to last out the week; the
women have chosen their course.

sion OF guilt by paying the
nominal fine imposed upon them;
Washington is grateful that the
disgracefui period OF rioting and
mob violence in front of the White
House is at an end, and another
crisis in the militant crusade TO
bring the Susan B. Anthony amend
ment before Congress has been
reached.
What is the next step? No one
knows. Picketing doubtless will
continue, or an effort will be made
to continue it: and militancy-if
the police continue the arrests. in
stead of giving the women protec-
tion-will pass into a new phase.
The suffragettes, as well as the
public at large. are thankful that
the police department has finally
determined to arrest the pickets. in
stead of allowing them to be mob

President Wilson will not be
asked to pardon the Jailed suf-
fragettes this time. It is doubtful
II he would do so in any event.
The public eye will be on Occoquan
for the next few weeks, to find out
how these women bear up under
the Spartan treatment that is in
store for them. II they have de-
Iiberately sought martyrdom, as
some critics have been unkind
enough to suggest, they have 1t
now. And IL their campaign, in the
opinion OF perhaps the great ma
jority of the public. has been mis-
guided. admiration for their pluck
will not be withheld.
