In the di1e*sion o'_f a question of etHl tail, of moral expediency, xhere the Rev. Dr. Gladden is on one ide and the Rev. Dr. Abbot on the >ther. what posi:ion can a non-pro e.tsiunal take as to the receipt of 'tainterl money?" He may ask, per laps. whetner there is such a thing is tainted money. Is any money tainted, excep: fraudulent money money not go.d for its face value? [s not honest money always innocent, md honest and morally clean; and is t not -he man, the miserable, con, ;cienceless human being, who is ainted, if anything is tainted; the man-any man-whose hands are zoiled in getting money by un scrupulous, cruel, unsocial and un Christian practices? Meantime the debate is a whole some one, and a happy sing of the times, and likely to be wholesome in its effects, irrespective of decisions as to the taint or as to the acceptance -f this gift or that, nor or at any other time, and irrespective of the practicability of examination into the cha.racter of all givers to good objects. That there are times and occasions when discrimination as to the source of gifts has to be made, none can deny. The Louisiana Lot :ery used to pay annually as the'price >i peace, a forty-thousand-dollar sub scription to the Charity Hospital; but when the lottery offered to raise its bribe to an annual payment to the state of a millor and a quarter of dollars, an aroused public opinion forbade the bargain, and the refusal was a part of the fight which drove the accursed institutions from seeming to toad) the United States. If the debate does no other good, it will presumably keep those who appeal for funds for educational or otherwise benevoleni institution from even seeming tc toady to men in the business 02 political world who are public male factors; and from assisting them ir their belated and unrepentant efforts to win social recognition from th< decent and untainted.

A group of congressmen who hap. pened to be at the national legisla ture helped to while away the time by exchanging stories.. and one of the statesmen 1rc)m Pennsylvania told this one regarding a constituent: This man, who lived in one of the small towns in the Keystone State. was appointed naval officer at the chief port in the stafe. He immedi ately packed up his belongings and established himself in the metropolis of the commonwealth. At the end of four years the administration changed and he relinquished his office. When he returned to the village of his birth his first visit was to his aged mother. She greet'ed him affectionately and said: "My boy, you have had four years in a lucrative Federal office. Tell me, now that it is over. what have you saved?" He was nonplussed for the moment. Not a penny of his salary remained. In an outburst of frankness he turned to her and, leaning over her, said. with hearty fervor. -Mother, I saved my life."

As To Life It might be. well for those who are thinkmg of taking out a life insurance policy to read the following extracts from a talk to the agents of the Pacific Mutual Life: Have you stopped to consider what a gem you have in your hands in the Ideal policy of the Pacific? Do you realize what it means to offer a man life, health and accident in one policy and to add to that, payment of the principal of the policy for perma nent disability? Where can you find such a policy? Who has it for sale? Who can compete with you for a moment? Did you ever think that one might need insurance money more in ife than in death? How many thousands lose their in surance through inability to pay pre miums caused by accident or sickness? How can you insure your insured when wages stop and expenses in crease? How can one buy medicine and food and pay doctor bills and insurance pre miums while sick with fever or laid up with a broken leg? How.can he provide for his family and himself for a long series of years if he becomes totally and permanently disabled by accident or through illness? The ideal policy answers all these questions, solves all these problems. It costs less money than life and ac cident combined, and life and health combined, and it gives the full benefit of each and adds full payment during life,-of the face of the plicy for total rand prmanent disability.

The state agricultural department reports the North Carolina cotton acreage as reduced 21 per cent. Insurance. in case of death. It pays a weekly sum to the insured in case he is hurt: and cannot work. It pays a weekly sum to him if he is sick and compelled' to stay at home. It furnishes money to pay the premiums on his policy while he is hurt or sick and this insures his policy to be paid to his family should he finally die of accident or illness. It pays him his whole insurance in' ten equal installments should he fron. accident or sickness be totally disabled or lose his hands or his feet or his eye l*Sight. it provides for him and his family while he recovers from an accident it takes care of him and his dear ones while he lies tossing on a sick bed; it assures the payment of the premiuom. on his policy so that he can feel secure in the payment of the face of his policy should he finally fail to recover; it pro vides for his comfort, the education of his children and preservation of his home for ten years after he is disabled, and if he dies before the ten years for the payment. of any balance that has. not been received in the years he has had his annual payments.
