st. John, Tr.24, 26.
No incident following the res1rrec.
ton of Jesus Is more striking or more
appealing than His dealing with
Thomas, one of His disciples. The
name of Thomas Is universally asso-
ciated with the man who doubted. 1t
Is written concerning him that when
his associates told him that they had
seen Jesus after His resurrection and
had talked with Him he said.
Except I shall see in His hands the
print of the nails. and put my finger
into the print of the nails, and thrust
my hand into His side, 1 will not be-
lieve." He could not accept without
ocular proof the testimony of his
brethren. No authentic record had
hitherto been made of such an event,
no one had been known to return
from the sleep of death. 1t is little
wonder that Thomas refused to &C.
cept the testimony of his colleagues
Such an event as the resurrection of
Christ bore too intimately upon the
deeper things of His nature, II such
a thing had really happened, 1t fur
nished the solution to life's greatest
enigma. 'if man die. shall he live
again." 1t is reasonable to suppose
that the doubt of Thomas might
arouse the resentment of those who
had actually seen the risen Christ,
and 1t seems still more reasonable to
think that it might have incurred the
condemnation of the risen Savior.
Not so; we read that, after eight
days again, His disciples were within,
and Thomas with them, then came
Jesus" This visit Of the Master had
but one supreme purpose. namely, to
convince the doubling disciple. There
is no word of condemnation, nothing
but tender solicitude for the one who
demanded proofs of the resurrection.
No word Is recorded that would indi.
cate that Christ sought other than
to convince the honest doubter. Turn
ing Immediately to Thomas, using al.
most the disciples precise language in
which he had expressed his doubt, He
says, Reach hither they finger and be-
hold My hands; and reach hither thy
hand. and thrust 1t into My side; and
be not faithless, but believing"

this single experience with Thomas.
That he appreciated the reasonable.
ness of the doubt of Thomas Is clear.
ly evident. This whole incident re-
minds us that all the post-resurrec-
ton appearance of the Master wit
ness to his desire to bring the fact
of the resurrection into immediate
contact with the more intimate COM
mon experiences of life. He speaks
to Mary as she walks in the garden
In the early morning hours: again.
He joins disappointed and dishearten-
ed disciples on the open highway and
reveals Himself within the precincts
Of the home; again, He meets with a
little band of followers assembled for
conference in an upper room; in the
present instance He visits the man
with honest doubts with but one end
!. in view, namely. to give him as.
surance and renewed confidence.
We cannot believe that 1t was with
out design that the risen Savior thus
sought to answer in His person the
greatest question that mankind has
ever asked. No incident In this after
resurrection period comes so close to
the average Of us, as this one to
which Thomas Is related. He repre-
sents the unconfirmed hopes and
aspirations OF every man. His honest
doubt served to give added proof to
the fact Of the resurrection. The
Masters method Of dealing with him
Is one that must commend itself to
those Of us who have to do with men
and women of his type. The proof
we furnish in ourselves of the per-
sistent power of Jesus Is disclosed less
in our creeds and professions of faith
than our life. We give demonstration
by what we are more than by what
we say. No greater proof Of the
resurrection power of Jesus may be
adduced today than the universal wit
ness through His church to His per-
sistence in human thought. Upon this
mighty fact which bears so imme-
diately upon life's greatest problem
the Christian church is builded. Again
and again in our hours of distress
we CRY out for the authoritative word
of assurance. We stand in the place
OF Thomas with our honest doubts.
We refuse to believe that "our lit.
tie life is rounded with a Sleep" At
such a time all human philosophy fails
us, all speculation proves unsatisfy.
Ing. In such an hour we turn to Him
whom Thomas saw, whose voice he
heard. and we. too, get our assurance
from His words, BE not faithless, but
believing" In the conflict Of the
worlds confusions and distractions we
cry out with the man Of honest doubt,
MY Lord, and my God!'

The War Against Crime.

Systematic efforts to improve the
laws and judicial practices in this
country to lessen the evil Of crime
have progressed to the point at which
it is possible to coordinate the move
ment in the States. Under the aus
pices Of the National Crime Commits
sion representatives Of flfty-four or
more State, county and city commits
sions organized during the past year
will be held in Washington next Sep
tember. The purpose Of this confer
ence will be to secure uniformity of
effort in the passage Of legislation in
the different States next Winter, in
cases where uniform practice between
the States is necessary for effective
measures.
At the meeting of the National
Crime Commission held here last
year there were only five such asso-
Citations in existence. Now in twenty
four States, with several more to be
heard from, energetic, competent
bodies are giving the matter Of the
reduction Of crimes of violence seri.
Gus attention. This extension of the
movement shows that the people of
the country are generally aroused to
the need of concerted action to estab.
lish sure methods of dealing with
crime, or providing swifter and surer
punishments and thus strengthening
the breastworks Of social protection.
In some Of the States legislation pro.
posed by local commissions failed of
passage at the Winter sessions Of the
Legislatures, but in nearly all cases
these defeats were by narrow mar.
gins, and it is believed to be eason.
ably certain that when the Legisla.
lures meet again earnest concerted
efforts by the people Of the States
and especially by the associations or.
ganized in promotion Of the work of
crime reduction will avail to effect
their passage.
One result Of the organization Of
the National Crime Commission has
been the fullest study Of the crime
situation ever undertaken in this
country. Through the collection 'of
statistics and the compilation and
comparison of State laws and rules
Of judicial practice the needs are
made apparent. It has been demon.
strated that the problem is a national
one, not local. 1t has been shown
that no State Is adequately protected
while neighbor States are lax in
crime detection and prosecution and
punishment. With unity of purpose
and unity Of effort will come unity
Of results, and 1t is encouraging. to
find that the preliminaries for the
second conference in Washington on
this vitality important question show a
practically Nationwide sentiment and
determination for the correction Of
the faults Of the laws and of the
courts. which have within the past
few years brought about a carnival
Of crime in America.
