The heaviest rain that has ' alien in
this section in many a day came 011 j
"Wednesday. The small streams were j
swollen and the mail carriers had a i
i
time getting in from their routes. The
roads are in fearful condition but all
this does not seem to impress the people
with tlae importance and neoesr?m*Tvor
anvthine- to make per- j

means for their maintenance. Every
one is talking about the condition of
the roads "but when it comes to making
some provision for their -proper
maintenance there is no one at home.

will come out right.
LEND A HAND.
The testimony of the reformed
yeggman, ;McCarthy, in tfte preliminary
hearing of the yeggman, O'Day,
in Columbia the other day, and "ivhich
i.s printed in this issue of The Her
aid and News, brings out a very siring
(human story and one^ which should
he brought more forcibly to the attention
of the Cfrrisitan people of this
generation. We suppose human
nature has been very much the
same since the days of the apostles
when the Christ twent about and tried
to impress the lesson that he had
1 -3 +V, ^
come to save me iwss <mu .uvt
saved.
'McCarthy says that he tried very
hard after he <was convicted of the error
of his ways to live right, but ho
was hounded by detectives and others
and \Maen he managed to get a posi
tion and was making good in it some
one was always ready to tell his employers
that he had "been a yeggmau.
He says: "Detectives, Pinkertons
and others, caused me tc lose or forced
me to give up position after position."
The same old story. When a
man wrong, and gets down there
is no one to help him on bis '-'eet, and
encourage him to live right or give
him a chance but there are always a
lot of good Christian men and women
ready and willing to keep him in the
ditch and shove him further down the
hill.
Further on in his testimony he says:
"For some months I was confidential
man for the superintendent of the
Adams Express company at Philadelphia.
I could fcave stolen $50,000 most
any day tne time I held this position.
The Pinkertons told the superintendent
of my past. I was dropped."
Instead of helping this man to be
a man and a good citizen and to lead
a life that was upright and honest
the minions of the law and others
were always ready to do him injury
and to make it impossible for him to
be a T>etter man. It is the same rule
followed by man so-called Christians,
not only in the case of reformed yeggmen,
^ut of any one els? who has misfortunes
or reverses of any kind. Instead
of lending a helping hand they
use their energies to keep him under
the ban.
:It is the story of Mary {Turner in
the strong novel "fVVithin the Law."
Mary Turner was a young lady of good
lamny and good Diood vno iosi n-er
fatfcer and who had to work in a de<partment
store for the means of a living
and on a wage that barely gave
the actual necessities. She was wrong
ly accused of theft and was sentenced
and served a term. .After coming from
prison she secured work and every j
time some one came along and to.'d
that she . ad been in prison and she
lost her position. Then she determined
in her desperation to live within
the law and to see v.t at could be done.
Sbe prospered and got her revenge.
There are many things done within
the law that are a great deal worse
than those tor which many a man or
woman is kept down and forced by
what are denominated the Christian
people of the country, and tn-e world
is not growing much better along that
line. It will continue to be so as long
as money is King ana iuie?.
ARE WE NEUTRAL?
In the great war that is raging in
Europe the United States claims to
pe neutral. The appeal has been
made for us to send help to the starv- j
in? Belgians and we have responded |
i
to the call. Alongside the ship carrying
supplies 0'.' food and closing to
fhe starving Belgians goes a ship
carrying munitions of war such as
powder and guns and cartridges to
help produce more suffering and
starving. Is that charity and is that
the spirit of neutrality.

and it seems to me outrageous that we

Senator (Hitchcock is right. We are
helping to continue the war. The
editor of tfae flatherland says that
'were the war material from the United
States withheld, tlie war would
come to an end in sixty days or less."

the world? And the United States is
not sending any aid to u-erman hut
only to the triple entente. iAnd yet
she is a neutral nation. The editor
of the Fatherland euumerates some of
the war material that the United
States is fu'rnishing to the allies and
without winach they could not carry
on the war. And yet the United

President Wilson some time ago j
set apart one Sunday for special pray- j
er for peace. It v.as observed pretty j
generally. Vet on week days sine-*
*i -en and at the time we have been
irtd were manufacturing war material
and shipping it to Europe to continue
the war. Where is the consisteny?
Prof. Flugel, shortly before ins j
I death, wrote a pamphlet tha^ contain-j
ed some theological observations on j
I '
the war silnaJon. He ?avs in tbi^
i
pamiO let that hp wculd call "the sup-1
plying of dynamite to warring nations j
in combination v,ith prayers for peace j
the superlative of .blasphemy and j
hypocrisy.'' And Prof. Flu gel is not
far wrong. He is quoted in Literary
Digest a & saying more explictly:
"Do American -firms really ship on !
I
week-days such goods as will help to
protract the war, and do their principals
and clerks really pray on Sundays
for the stopping of the war?
Does the American government countenance
such things? Do the American
peo-ple approve o>? such tfcings?
Do American ministers know of such
things?
"If they do, then I beg to make the
following theological suggestion:
"Since peace-makers are addrest on
Sundays to the same deity which on
week-days seems to send his blessings
to thp commerce of this prosperous |
country, I suggest that you should, in j
the interest of your mercantile parishioners,
ad-dress now and then a fervent
prayer ifor the safe conduct and
happy arrival of the dynamite and
gunpowder at the '.oreign harbors,
that the dynamite may blast away the
nigat of darkness in those heathen
lands, and that more and more and
more such orders may come, forever
and ever.
"Of course on the same Sundays
on whim you pray for dynamite or- j
ders, you ought not to pray for a |
speedy Tieace; hew could more or-1
i
ders 'be "filled if peace should come?!
(There must be logic in everything.) j
No, you might alternate and pray one!
Sunday for peace (as our president

raite orders (or perhaps all the rest
of tie fifty-one Sundays?) And possibly
you might interest our mission- j
aries in presenting this new inter- j
pretation of the gospel of American
neutrality.
"I said this as a theological obser-1
|
liver, a logician, and a practical man, j
'but let me speak now as an Ameri- j
can citizen and in dead earnest. I |
confess that, compared with all this,
hypocrisy, it seems to me to be more I
decent and manly and infinitely less j
hypocritical to disregard openly?not!
secretly?the wise and sane and truly
Christian advice of President Wilson j
and to loIIow the charming advice

wi-h which ex-President Kiiot's r.amo |
and character were insulted in the
papers of October 10, namely, openly
to declare war against the enemies
of the Holy Septuple Alliance?an advice
which until this Sunday morning J
I uave regarded at first as irresponsible
and ridiculous, then as anarchistic
and seditious, untimatelv as
an insult to the good sense o. every
true 'American. ,
"In conslusion, let me say that it I
seems to me that now a wonderful
moment has come for the American
peace 'movement' to begin its most
noble and historic work, here in thi3
country."
fMhy could not he United States
stop this war by refusing to be a party
to it in supplying the means to carry
it on. Of\ course, those "who are
receiving tfte big orders for the material
will object. But shbu-d the
whole country and the whole world
suffer just to benefit the trade interests
of a few. We do not think so but
c.f course our thoughts will have 'but
little effect 011 the war.
