Wa • aspect that many haw an imMOtti Idea about church maashar ■hip. We have In mind the poaHJoa of aa vile an old ra probata aa tha coon try ever had, ona of theee drink ing, cursing, vile mo at had old ato nara, who boldly laid claim to sana tion because tha plan waa mada far all by tha daatb of tha Master. Tha fact that a man balance to a church may not maan anything for tha bat tar in hla caaa. If'a man la vlla and wicked, holding enmity and apfta and raaantmant in bia mind igainst thoaa about him, if ha la Saughty and proud and "better" than other people, he ean certainly lay no claim to the bleaalnga that are ex pected to coma to the church member. Any man who hold* malice against Sla neighbor ia in direct Una for the chain gang, whether ha admits It or not- Tha man who goes about with malice in hla breast, or hut or re venge lurking in hla system, la likely my moment to commit acta that put men on the chain gang. And church membership, unfortunately, doea not get theae evil passions out of men 11 quickly aa many may think. Tha theologiana are divided on what salvation meana. One set of teach ers bold to what has bean called the "funnelling process." that la a man haa aomething Injected, aa It were, into bia system In a moment, that in staatly places him In line for the Setter world, let him do what he may in the future. Another set of rell rlous teachers hold to the view that <ahration la overcoming, which is a nrocesa. a working out of salvation Sv getting rid of all that ia unholy snd impure, and replacl-ig If with the virtuea that were possessed by the Master and which be had to auch a 'arge degree that he was able to ac complish the wonders recorded even to overcoming death. There ia no re aeon why tha churches should take offense at the statement that such a large number of prisoners are church members. The very fact that a man ia a member of a church is some evidence that he ia trying toVork out his aalvation. even if he has made a woeful blunder that got him behind the hara. The man who ia living a life of aln needs a Jar of aome kind to bring him to hia -senses. Sometimes it comes in tha way of a term in prison and aouie thnes in the way of a long spell of sickness or aome great sorrow that causes him to turn from the error of his way. The hopeless man is the one who is headed in the wrong way and no influence of any kind la earn ing him to see hia real condition. Every one knows that the country haa many citiaana in ao-called high standing who are criminals and would be in prison if the} had their duea. They are shrewd enough to be bad and avoid the consequences ao far aa tha law ia concerned. But tha man who ia bad and must call a halt la fortunate if^he haa a square deal, for ha may aaa tha error nf his way and reform aa the result of hia prison iiyaHaaea. Barney Key Pardoned.

It la a fact that; much of tha crime of tha country la due to tha fact that aoma other man baa committed a aimilar erima, and' thua tha act la repeated bacauaa of tha law of auggeation. ThU cm bo illuatrmtad in a thoua and caaaa. A few waaka ago a reck-j laaa citiaen down in South Carolina killed fire of hia neighbor*a children in a fit af anger. Ha ahot tlyaa like killing bird* in a covey.' The newa papera played up the atory from week to week in that part of the country, and joat tha other day an other man got on hia metal and he, too, ahot five of hia neighbor*. A woman goea to one of thaae modern picture ahowa and aaaa a pictna ia which all the smutty under-world U displayed before the audienee, and part of the picture it where a .nun plays false to his wife, and she Inj turn goes and aims herself with a! pearl handle pistol and cunningly waits until she finds her man In' a compromising position and then. In a dramatic way, takes his life and! becomes a hero with the class of] people who delight In that kind of entertainment. Now the picture show4 are full of Just such rot a* this, and the newspapers are also full of aceounta of where snmo wo man played out the picture show la real life and with the pearl handle pistol shot to death her unfaithful husband and answers to the eonrta for her crime, while the sensational newspapers play up the whole alfa'.r as rtoidly as It is poeeible to be lone. j The (wait is that the la tads of tfcooa> ■ndi and thousand* of people m thus filled with aril auggeetioni that art detrimental to pod morale and (food health. Thii la all dae to the law of saggestioa. A man doee aa act aad hia neighbor patten* after him and goea and doee likewise. If all this {a troa, aad we think It is, than about nine ten the of the pictana and aboot the «aaia amooat of the fiction atoriea should bo Mat to the waxtebaaket. Drs.
