MORAL ISSUES
Happiness and Duty
When I sought Happiness she fled,
Before me constantly.
Weary I turned to Duty's path.
And Happiness sought me,
Saying, "I walk the road today:
I'll bear thee company."
?British Workman.
Three Classes
Some one has said that there
are three classes of church ?oers:
"those who pray, pay and perseve.e;
those who sit, sleep and
snort-; and those who are cyni
cal, censorious and critical."?

Why Study the Bible ?
1. It is the oldest and yet the
m >st popular book in the world.
2. From every standpoint it
is the greatest of hooks. Its language
is unequalled by any otli
er; its interesting narratives ate
unmatched; its histor\ and biographies
are majestic; its inspiration
came from God himself and
its influence tor good in the
world is far greajer than all oth
er books combined.
3. The Bible is the revelation
of God's will towards mankind.
It contains the right solution ol

corporation asked a correspondent
in the country to recommend
to them a man for a lucrative
and very responsible position.
The reply was, '*A youni* man

Shall I inquire further about
him?" The result of which w ?s
a position for life at a large salary.
Again, a city pastor was in
a large establishment of the
wholesale section of a city.
"What!" said the superintendent,
"have I any of your men here?"
The pastor looked around, and
said, "I see six." "Are any of
them in the Sunday school?"
"Yes, four." "How many 01
them are Chiisiian Endeavorers?"
"Two." "Do any of tin m
go to pra>er niceiing?" "O.ie."
The next morning that "one"
was called into the office and
sent upon an errand ot .speci.il
responsibility. Upon his r-tiii i
having satisfactorily mscn ?r .!
his duty, he was told to p.ep re

All this is exactly in
line with the spirit ot religion:
its law is, "not to be ministered

The Weakness oJ Ihe People
The State
The jury convicted Duncan B.
Cooper, who shot and killed E
W. Carmaclc, the judne sentenced
him to serve 20 years hi prison
and then the ' ovetnor, Mn'colm
B Patterson, instantly pardoned
him.
The will of the people of Tennessee
was set aside by the uov
ernor, for no other reason than
that Cooper, the politician, had
been the staunch supporter of
Patterson the politician To this
the sovereign stale of Tennessee
had to submit. The courts of
Tennessee were run over roughshod
and Tennessee no redress.
Patterson's olfense against the
state was plain, but for him there
was no punishment.
The incident, recalled by the
death of Cooper fourteen years
after the killing of CarmacU,
should serve to impress Ibe Ten
nesseea -s with the singular
weakness of tiieir laws.
Why is the power left unre-j
stricted in one man, holding thei
oflice ot governor, to extendi
clemency as though lie were a
princeling of the 15.h century in
middle Europe? Why may a
governor override the people,
the jury being the highest i.g,nc>
of the people's power, for the
sake of his henchmen?
Why are the people without
the spirit to amend and correct
the constitution and laws so that
they may not be flouted by an
exi cuiive unfaithful to his trusi?

Murder Record
Wilmington Morning Star
The number of murders committed
in this country last year
v.is 9,000, and the previous year
hows a similar record. In the
ity of Philadelphia one hundred
murders were committed, and
li/\ ?-r*/^rvr/l frtr h r* />/\??n no n
uu ittuiu IUI IUC tuuuuj as a
vhole is without a parallel tor a
ountry enjoying peace condiions.
The situation betokens
n undermining of moral conlitions
which is indeed appalling,
file fundamental law of the land
ecognizes the sacredness of hunan
lite,and'all of our institutions
ue built upon this conception of
:ivilized conditions, and the rec)rd
demands and should receive
he most serious consideration of
lie public. We are prone to look
o the courts for the preservation
3f order and protection of life,
md too often forget that the
courts are no different from or
srenter than the standards impos
jd by public sentiment. The
reason that the courts are singled
out is because they represent
Brtmothinor thnt ic rtpfinifp nnrt
tangible, but at bottom the trouble
Is with the people themselves.
The courts may impose madeqi
ate sentences, but, the juries
drawn directly from the people,
re largely responsible for both
the verdict and the penalty. Ordinarily,
a judge will not impose
i minimum sentence except
upon the recommendation of the
jury and there can be no doubt
that the practice of delaying the
trial ot capital cases is intended
and has the ellect to influence
>y resisting delays and securing!
prompt trials.
The remedy must start in the
tome. This is indispensably
lecessary, for the failure to incul ate
sound precepts and righteous
principles in the child, is a failure
vhich society in the large can
tever wholly supply. The want
>i such sound groundings in the
rhild explains the weak sentinentality
which so often influ:nces
a jury, and which is in no
mall degree responsible tor the
ailure to administer justice in
uch a way as to be at once
ighteons in itself and preventive
n its influence.
