Bible FAMINE Is
CAUSED BY War
BY the REv. CHARLES sTELzLE.

There is a real famine for the Word
OF God" Two continents have been
searched 10 find enough pocket testa-
ments 10 furnish the soldiers who VIII
constitute the new American army.
But they cannot be found-and It's
a question whether they can print them
fast enough TO get them 10 the boys
before they go 90 France.
The presses of The American Bible
Society are running l6 hours a day, and
they have turned ont nearly half mill
lion copies OF The testaments since May
4. But they siill have immediate orders
for 100000 teslaments-and The Young
Mons Christian Association alone
wants 100000 copies OF them at once.
There never was such a famine for
60" nihle. And what is true in this
country Is also true In England. one %
tn. ....g ~ english publishing houses
, could only an 'one-twelfth OF an order
recently cablcd from The United States
1t Is the ambition OF The Y. NJ. G.. A
that every soldier should have a tesla
mont before the end OF winter. Most oil
these will be given by the American
Bible Society, but they will be distrib
utod through the Young Mems Chris
tian Association centers In the camps
Meanwhile, the Bible is selling a
never before to the general public. I
always has been the best seller In On
book market, but the war has increase
its circulation tremendously.

The Christian Endeavor topic tomor- I
row will be "Nlinlsterlng for Christ"
by the Rev Candee. Of Westminster
Church:
when Christ said, sick and in
priaon and We visited me- He laid
upon all Christians the obligation Of 2
certain care for those ia prison. And
vet there are good many who have
come to think that the full duty of the
Christian towards the prisoner is ful-
allied by a friendly visit once IN a while
or. better yet, regularly. lt IS TO be
conceded that one OF the first duties
OF us as followers OF Christ is to see
20 it that those unfortunates In prisons
are not wholly forgotten. So il comes
about that we send them some KIND OF
remembrance at Christmas, perhaps
or that some OF us or some organiza-
uon-the c.. =. Society, for example
navs monthly visit TO our prison 10
Lold a prayer meeting. This is all wen
and good. and am very proud OF the
work which some Of our city socletles
have done i'm that regard. But / par
ticuIarlv wish TO call our attention. 10

even. ,,,
Christians who have studied the mat
Ter Of penology have come TO see very
clearly that one Of the most requisite
things i'm our present day is a chanseu
attitude OF Christian people TOWARDS
those unfortunaies Of society. More ana
more we are becoming unwilling I.
brand them as outcasts. We do MOI
mean 20 have a soft, insipid sympathy
which condones an the evils comml ltel
awards God and against society. Ihl'

changed attitude towards the ohenuel
against the law. At the bottom OF al
there Is the different ideal OF the pur
nose Of punishment. The Old idea ma
neen that the offender is punlshe
largely for the sake Of the punishment
>~rhe state must be vindicalcd, the laN
must be upheld and the Niolalo
avenged. Thus punishment is more o
the side Of the State and for the pun
noses OF the State. Nowadays we ar
coming to look OF the matter from IN
side OF the unfortunate. We are con
ing 10 the ideal that the purpose OF VI
punishment is not so much TO deprN
"a man of his liberty, but TO do so on
I'm order that he may learn TO become
better citizen and able TO properly u'
liberty The purpose Is CORRECTLY
rather than wholly punitive or Nindl
tive. And The State Is not doing
work we'll II IL does not make a mi
better citizen after his period OF ]
generation than he was before 1t.
Nothing can do more towards makil
this ideal possible than that Christia
should maintain a more kindly al
sympathetic attitude towards Tie pr
oners. We ought TO believe in t

A UNSUITABLE IN
CREASE IN PRICE

The esteemed Dresden Enterprise
makes a very belated announcement
this week that its subscription here
after will be $3.50 instead of 81, as
heretofore. The Enterprise is one
of the very few country papers that
refrained from raising their subscrip-
ton rates in 1915. BY midsummer
Of last year it was seen by papers
having a cost system that subscrip-
ton prices must be raised or failure
would result, and the bulk Of them
made announcement of so per
cent raise in price. A little later
careful accounting showed that news
papers would really have to get as
GOOD as $3.50 to place them in rela-
lively the same position as they were
before the war, when they charged
81. OF course, none of them have
had the nerve to ask the two and
one-balt price, but even the most
conservative and unbending long ago
came to the conclusion that they
would have to get more money or
quit. In TACT, many have quit bus
mess or consolidated with other pa
pers. United States pOstOffice re-
ports show that approximately 500
papers died last year, and fully as
many more are going to turn up
