OUR MONTHLY SERMON
Today’s paper carries a very inter
esting and helpful sermon from the
Rev. L. E. Wiggins, pastor of the
North Broad Street Methodist church.
This department of the paper is
growing in interest and a number of
our subscribers have told us that
they enjoy and look forward to its
appearance from time to time.
The sermon for the department for
the month of March will be furnished
by Dr. D. J. Woods, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church.
DELAYED JUSTICE
Swift justice is the only justice that
counts. When justice is delayed it
invites evasion and loses, even when
it finally arrives, most of its moral
effect is a deterrent
The system in most States makes
crime a gamble for any malefactor.
The chances of getting away with the
worse crimes are indefinitely multi
plied during the long period between
the offense and the final decree of the
courts.
The result is that law is held in
contempt and justice is robbed of its
terrors. The crime wave sweeping^
over the country today in a very
large measure is attributable to the
practice of delayed justice.

to hurt other people.
That is one more testimony to the
character of a splendid profession;
but it is more than that. Physicians
could not achieve their unusually
low record for accidents merely by
determining to be careful when they
drive. Doubtless they give more
conscious thought to be careful than
do other upright and gentlemanly
persons. To make such a record a
man must live a certain sort of life
in a certain sort of spirit.
It is the sudden, the unexpected, the
trying incidents that reveal the true
character of a man. There is noth
ing so technical in this quality of the
doctors that everybody cannot prac
tice it. Live and act all the time
in everything in such a state of mind
and heart that you will do an un-
ually. small amount of damage in
e ~wona!s a
follow. For after all, what we do is
largely determined by our state of
mind.

Ethel Jaeger entered public school
at six and in eighteen months did
three years’ work, advancing from
one class to another rapidly. In ad

mother will be proud. But that is
false education.

McADOO WILL RUN
As was expected, the meeting in
Chicago on Monday proved a big
boom to McAdoo and it appears that
he is stronger today than ever be
fore. The convention “called” him
as the pre-eminently available can
didate to lead the Democrats, and
then went further and passed resolu
tions endorsing his honesty and in
tegrity and denounced the infamous
conspiracy which attempted to be
smirch his name in connection with
the Teapot Dome scandal.
It must be gratifying to Mr. Mc
Adoo to see -how his friends have
come to his support in splendid spir
it. He has had our sympathy in
the dirty conspiracy waged against
him by the fact that in the practice
of his profession, he had the Doheny
oil interests as a client. The investi
gation of his relations with Doheny,
brought about at his request, clearly
exonerated him and showed that his
record in a professional capacity is
an open book. It was to soon to
bring judgment of condemnation up
on him for the public mind is not
yet settled down upon the essential
facts of the oil scandal. Each day
brings new developments and it would
seem that the pot is just beginning to
boil.
The campaign against McAdoo, en
tirely unfounded as the investigation
revealed, shows that the Republicans
fear the Democratic leader and how
desperately anxious they are to di
vert the public’s mind frqm the dirt
and misdeeds of their own party and
to center the attention of the country
towards the former official in Wilson’s
cabinet.
The investigation, followed by the
Chicago convention, clears the way
for the McAdoo fight. ITie slan
derous attack made upon him did not
go far-with the public. Had McAdoo
been reduced to the ranks and elimi
nated as available presidential tim
ber, the G. 0. P. would have rejoiced
with delight.

FIFTH: False conception of wor
ship or because the sormon is poor,
they drift into the habit of neglect
ing church, attendance:
SIXTH: A large number of,those
who stay away do so because they
are plain pagans; their education is
defective. No well-bred, well-trained,
modern,, up-to-date, and otherwise
normal man stays away from church
services.
SEVENTH: There are thousands
of business, professional, political,
and official men who neglect church
because they are conscious of the
fact that they are grossly sinful, sel
fish, conceited, and derelict in the per
formance of their duties. They know
that if they face the gospel as ex
pounded from God’s infallible Word
they will have to surrender their sel
fish, mean, conceited business and
professional attitude toward. the
church and the gospel. They are try
ing to avoid the doctrine of respon
sibility, accountability, and judgment
They are foolish. Every sensible
man ought to prepare to meet his
God. Every desirable, worthy citi
zen ought to ’Re found M his

Ramsay MacDonald, British La
bor Prime Minister, gives up one of
two $25,000 salaries to which he is
entitled.
The English have brains enough
to pay well men to whom they give
important jobs. This makes it un
necessary for oil companies or oth
ers to pay them after they LEAVE
office—for services rendered while
IN office.
Good news is that General Motors,
big automobile making company,
broke all records last year, selling
$698,000,000 worth of cars. Many
Americans are getting fresh air that
didn’t use to get it, plus the health
that comes from fresh air.
Nevada killed Gee Jon, Chinese
tong murderer, with hydrocyanic gas.
Mr. Jon, according to guards, W wept
a little as he was placed in the chair.”
His tears seemed to ask, “Why pick
on me?”
Doctors say death was painless,
but they don’t know. Gee Jon liv
ed six minutes after he began breath

Confucius about it?
If Government insists on killing it
should kill as savages usually do,
choking with a rope, cutting off the
head or in some other savage fash
ion.
Science and scientists should not
be disgraced in the operation. Ten
thousand ‘ years hence this will be
spoken of’as an age that used to
hang, shoot, asphyxiate, kill with
electricity and then foolishly expect
criminals, with the undeveloped minds
of children, NOT to imitate a mur
derous example set by government
itself.
GOING TO CHURCH
It is a <|>mmon impression that
people do not go to church as they
used to go, especially since the auto
mobiles have taken the day. Yet a
religious census shows that almost
46,000,000 Americans are regular
church attendants. That is not so
bad against a population of a little
over 100,000,000.
There are 200,090 ministers in the
United States, including all denomi
nations.
If every member attended church
regularly, the congregations would
average 230.
Of course many are still outside
the fold. Attendance is irregular.
Nevertheless, the churches are making
some headway.
In the last five years more than
4,000,000 new members have been ad
ded to the churches in this country.
What news could be more important
than this?
