To that man answer;
Fling Away Our Prejudices.
What other test of the truth Of
ones religious belief can there be
besides sincerity? After all, in the
last analysis, ones own conscience
must be the sole criterion by which
each must Judge the truth Of what
he believes in. And. no doubt. 1t
is this sincerity OF conviction which
makes each person feel instinctively
the truth Of his own religion and
causes the corresponding feeling
that every other religion must be
false.

finite and has as many angles OF
approach as there are possibilities
in Infinitude. Things contradic-

other from an infinite number Of

you touch is God-the Almighty
Source Of whatever Is or can be.
He is the Vivifying principle which

Therefore, fling away your pre1u-

Raynard Hill Is only fifteen,
and Catherine Seifert, seven
teen, their love had become SO
ardent that the youthful couple
determined to marry. Unfor-
tunately, Raynard was not old
enough to wear long trousers,
nor was Catherine sufficiently
mature to wear short skirts.
But Catherine was resource
full. She asked a friend to fur
nish the long trousers, and she
put up her hair to make herself
look older. Then they went to
the marriage license bureau,
where it is said Raynard gave
his age at twenty-one and Cath
crime said she was eighteen.
Sunday they were married,
and the bridegroom, borrowed
trousers and stolen bride have
gone on a honeymoon and their
whereabouts is unknown.
The boys father is furious.

turning the borrowed trousers)
and says he will have the mar

Lapses In Action
of BacOn's Heart,
Noted BY Doctor

NEW YORK, Oct. DIR. Jerome

Of Irving r. Bacon. monkey gland
patient. The inference was that
this lapse In the propulsion Of blood
current was faint and exceedingly
hard to detect. Whereas, as report
ed previously, Mr.. Bacons heart
missed every fourth beat before the
operation, the condition disclosed by
DIR. Wagner registered a different
phase.
II was found by DR.. Wagner that
the heart Of Mr.. Bacon, characterized
by several medical men as "regu-
larly irregular" before the operation.
Is now ''irregularly irregular" It
misses, according to DR.. Wagner's
data, one beat in twenty-four to
fifty pulsations. However, he seemed
to attach small significance to the
change in the rate Of the trregu-
larity.
Although DR.. 8. Calvin Smith, PHI

night found the patients heart to be
regular, and 30 did certain. other
medical examiners, the interpretation
was made yesterday that the heart
may have suffered a lapse again. II

An Unwarranted Charge.

One not infrequently hears, the
charge made that a greater percent
age of ministers sons belong to the
prodigal class, and fail to make good,
than sons of the laity. We believe the
charge to be unwarranted and unjust
to ministers and their wives. Boys
and girls everywhere who grow into
manhood and womanhood are largely
products of the homes in which they
are reared and we are confident that
children who reside in manses and
parsonages are as carefully taught
by precept and example as children in
the homes of the laity. Furthermore,
the ideals and the atmosphere OF
these homes is as high and as con-
ducive to high thinking and noble liv.
ing as that of other homes.
Being subject to the law of heredi,
ty and as liable to contamination by
bad influences and associates at
school and elsewhere out of the home
circle as are children of the, laity, il

ministers, children. We do not believe
this charge has any real foundation,
but has gained credence in some
quarters because of the fact that
when the son of a minister falls
short of the 1O0-per cent standard
he is at once held in the spotlight by
carping critics and not infrequently
his short comings are greatly exag-
gerated.
Would that fault-fnders were as
prone to give minister credit for
rearing strong, manly, upright, hon.
orable, ambitious and altogether
praiseworthy boy as they are disposed
to criticize when he has the misfor-
tune of having an unworthy son go
out from his home. Were the Golden
Rule more generally practiced in
the lives of men and women, no such
unjust charge would have gained a
footing.
In this connection it gives the writ
er peculiar pleasure to reproduce
the following from the Aiken Journal
and Review concerning the achieve
ments and true worth of the splendid
son of DR.. and Mrs. Phillip ]. Mclean
of Aiken:
"Phillip James Mclean, Jr., who
graduated with honors from the
Charleston Citadel last week, had a
busy senior year in addition to his
regular college work. He was the
associate editor of ''The Sphinx"
the college annual, q member of the
debating team, manager of the can
teen, acting secretary of the college
'Y.," editor of "The Bulletin" the
state organ of the Student Volun-
teer and delivered many addresses
before minor organizations. He was
the Second Lieut.. of Co. D., and grad
uated 9Th in a class of 46. He has
been recommended for a commission
as second lieutenant in the o. R. c.,
Coast Artillery and will be COM
missioned when he reaches the age
of 21, being only 19 years old now.
Next year he will leave for Crozier
Theological Seminary where he in
tends taking up his studies for the
ministry and at the same time do
post graduate work in the University
of Pennsylvania"

Country Life.

! At break of day, first thing I hear
The ROSTERS crow so loud and clear;
| He wakes the world in pleasant way,
To begin another day.
From the kitchen 1 can smell
The ham that mother cooks so we'll;
I think of work planned for the day,
So Jump from bed without delay.
Breakfast o'er, the sun peeps out;
The restless cattle walk about;
| 1 hear the song of distant lark,
And Rover greets me with bark.
Our works begun, and most t, oon
We hear the bell that says tits noon;
Potatoes, fruit of every kind,
It's just the feast that suits my mind.
Back to work when dinners over
The summer sun has withered the
clover;
It's rays are hot, the sweat does roll,
Oh, to dwell by the far North Pole!
Down by the spring where the cool
water flows,
And through the elm the soft breeze
blows;
Ia while 1 sit, thinking how grand
Is Nature in our own fair land.
At close of day when all is still,
II hear the song of the whippoorwill;
The little squirrels go to nest,
And all of Nature is at rest.
Oh, Nature you are wonderful,
With vine-clad hill and stretching
plain;
Beautiful rivers and stately trees,
And oceans whose wavelets never
cease. /.
Oh, for the pen of Longfellow great,
|Of the mind of Edgar Lee,
That 1 might put in words and song,
What Nature is to me!

A National Disgrace.

The slugging match which will take
place between Dempsey and Carpen-
ter Saturday afternoon, July 2, across
the Hudson river from New York
city is a national disgrace. If the
State of New Jersey has no law pro-
hibiting the holding of such a brutal
combat within it's borders, it needs
one. The ideals of a nation which en-
JOYS the worldwide distinction of be-
ing model for the other nations of
the earth should be so high and the
public conscience SO quickened that
such a spectacle would be impossible
in America.
Leaving out of consideration the
demoralizing influence of such a
sport, if such a slugging match can
be so dignifed as to be classed as a
sport, from an economic standpoint
alone in this financial crisis it should
be outlawed. With millions of people
literally starving in the remote cor
ners of the earth, who nevertheless
are our neighbors; with hundreds and
hundreds of thousands of people in
our own country out of employment,
many of them heads of dependent
families; with want and suffering
widespread in our congested cities
because of business depression now
prevailing; with countless schools and
churches lacking in adequate support
because of the existing conditions, it
is nothing short of crime before
God and man for millions upon mil
lions of dollars to be spent upon a
sport so useless and so harmful. 1t
is a national tragedy which in our
opinion will not go unrebuked.
Notwithstanding the fact that a
hundred words can be truthfully ut
tered in condemnation of the brutal
contest to every word that can be said
in its, favor, yet it is quite probable,
that one person out of every hum
dred of the country's population will
either be spectator or party to
the crime by being in close proximi-
ty to the arena. Upwards of $4,000
seats have been provided, at a cost
of more than s25O,OO0, the price of
each seat ranging from SIS to $50. 1t
is a shame that such an enormous
sum is to be spent upon contest to
decide what?-which Of the two men
is the more brutal. Simply that and
nothing else. The cost of admission
and the making ready for the contest
are but small part of the actual
money to be spent. Think of the thou
sands who journey from the far off
Pacific coast, from the lakes and from
the Rio Grande, and the sums they
will spend in railroad fare, hotel
bills, etc. Then there will be gamb-
ling in connection with the contest.
Hundreds upon hundreds of thou
sands of dollars will be staked upon
the outcome.
The following dispatch sent out
from New York several days ago
shows what elaborate preparations
have been made for the success of
this shameful contest:
Imagine huge, fiat saucer filled
to the rim with black ants, in the cen
ter small checker board square with

waving their tentacles. That's what
the big fight will look like from an
aeroplane July 2.
"This giant saucer measures 606
feet in diameter, and more than a
quarter mile around. Its outer rim is

be only 3O2 feet away from the ring,
and will be able to see practically as
well as you are to see the home plate
from an upper grand stand seat in a
big league ball park.
Gail the seats except the $4,000
ones are smooth spruce planks, 10
inches wide by two inches thick, with
rounded edges. Why spruce? Fewer
splinters.
"The 1000 seats are 142 to 15S
feet from the center of the ring;
$4,000 seats, 16O to 1853 feet; S25.OO
seats, 172 to 222 feet; $4,000 seats,
224 to 22s feet; SIS seats, 2S2 to
| 26O feet; $1,000 seats, 264 to 294
feet; $500 seats, 296 to 3O2.
"All the $4,000 and $4,000 seats
have been sold. Most of the $4,000
ones are gone. There are still plenty
of seats on sale at $500 to $500. I
At the rate they are going, however,
it is certain as anything human can
be that the largest arena that was
ever built in the history of the world
will be taxed to its capacity.

son, due west across the river from

"The Hudson tubes, four ferries
and the Pennsylvania railroad will
furnish ample transportation for the
crowds. The nearest tube stations
are about half mile from the arena.
The auto bus lines of Jersey City will
run one minute schedules to keep
the price down to ten cents-their
normal one-way fare. From Broad
way and 42nd street will take about
a half an hour.
"The completed arena will cost
upwards of $25O,OOO. 1t has taken
