CHRISTIAN AMERICA GUILTY.
She Is Accordingly Sentenced to
life Long Labor.
Friday hight the Methodist church
here was crowded with interested
spectators who came to witness one
of the prettiest and most interesting
features of the missionary programme?a
pageant given by the
Young People's Missionary society
of Lake City. This was a court
scene in whicb Christian America
was being tried for neglect of duty.
The judge, the- lawyers and the
sheriff were boys in their teens and
it was wonderful to see each take
his place with so much ease and digmifrr

nesses?beautiful young girls in the
guise of the different nationalities
represented in America. As each
was conducted to the witness stand
she told her tale of suffering and
neglect?the Indian whom the white
man had robbed of her lands; the
Italian, whose husband had contracted
tuberculosis in a crowded
tenement house and left her and her
"mucha childa" strangers in a
strange land; the Pole, the sweetfaced
looking girl with her long
hours and poor pay, and many
others. Then came the witnesses
for the defendant, but these were so
few and so weak that the jury soon
returned a verdict of guilty.
Thereupon the judge pronounced
his sentence upon Christian America?a
sentence of life, long labor
among those people trying to bring
them to Christ.
The audience was delighted with
