Detectives now find. according to
be latest news. two witnesses who
hws DIR. Hall die with Mrs. Mills,
singer in his chor. No one can
lo,ibt that hate. jealousy, or both,
Inspired the killing.
But it Is extraordinary that wit
lesses should be found so late.
That old crabapple tree seens to
lave been quite center OF popu-
htion.
But details of the case. the
Hfthly witnesses, are not so i'm

the DIVINE WITNESS THAT

DURS, FROM THE DAY WE ARE
CORN UNTIL THE DAY WE ARE
BURIED.
Nothing that we DO is hidden,
lothing that we even THINK is
Unknown to the all-seeing eye.
That's what interests US, IL we
lave sense enough to want to go to
Seayen and keep out OF hell.
And that is what interests me in
he Hall-Mills case.
Let's Tell The Truth
Nonsense was sent travelling
through the world in the old say.

What is good. /"
It ought to be, Say nothing Of
he dead but what IS TRUE"
The evil that men do hurts others
ifter they are dead. Therefore, the
lFil that they have done should be
hlked about plainly long after they
lre dead. Don't let death wipe out

God doesn't say that only nice
hings must be said and done about

Hyporcites are too ready to

II a man tried to make honesty

What can you say Of man like
Dr.. Hall, who breaches religion on

Disgraced Profession
The miserable murdered man was

No fish swims up Niagara Falls,
no miserable sinner can Withstand

But Hall did what he could to
make religion and the sacred pro-
lessiOn that he disgraced ridiculous.

Receives Many Letters
have been much impressed, ami
must say amazed, by the number
pf letters received from readers CT
this newspaper, particularly from
Earnest women.
Some ask whether our times are
hot worse than they ever were?
They fear that such case as the
Hall case means "rottenness IL
religion" This they need not fear.
What is evil Is evil, and is by
itself. 1t does not touch, and cannot
permanently hurt that which is
good.
