THOU SHALT NOT KILU
Kev. . H Comelson Define the Crm-m&uduientr-Do
Not Kill Tower for
(iood iu Othert.
Rev: G H Cornelson, the pas
torJlof the First' Presbyterian
church, -who is preaching a ser
ies of sermons on the command
ments took for his text on Mon
day night the words, "Thou
shalt not kill". He said the re-'
yised version puts the command
ment in these words, "Thou
shalt ' do no murder. The
American revision, however, re
verts to the terms of the St.
James version, "Thou shalt not
kill." He s?.id that murder means
the killing of a. human being
with the element .of hate or
malice and not with the CDnsent
of the law, and is therefore nar
row in Us application. "Thou
shalt not kill" has a much wider
meaning and has its best defini
tion in the words of the Saviour
himself, the violation of the
spirit of love.
Murder is but the less frequent
way of killing. The injunction
includes the wanton destruction
of anything which God . has
placed in the world for the bene
fit of man. He clearly defined
the privilege and the duty of
man to destroy the wild beast,
the reptile, etc, that isan'enemy
to. man and that kills him or
stands in the way of his progress
and development.
He wfco wantonly destroys the
beautiful flower, though, or the
bird or the insect that gives
.cheer and comfort to man, dis
plays the elements of a murderer
'nd violates this command.;
The speaker emphasized the
fact that destroying the useful
ness of another by crushingan
Element of good in one's charac
ter and ljf e or by hindering these
developments is essentially a
violation of this commandment'.
. Nor, has a man a right to ' de
stroy hi3 own gifts or power. -
At this point the speaker grew
deeply impressive as he por
trayed the possibilities of good
in the child lying dormant, for
' want of education? He appealed
io parents not to kill the best
elemei&s in the life of then
children by a failure to educate
them With education they de
within their children tVfc uobleH
attributes depending upon edu
cation for developmentttnd prac
tical operation.
While fche 'speaker did not
neglect the gravity of taking
human life he presented the too
often overlooked forms of vio-'
lating this comprehensive in-
junction that are just as flagrant
and even more far reaching in
their consequences and more
unnatural than the taking of hu
man life. .
The presentation was broadly
novel but none the less forceful
and timely.

Tested fcatnraav Evening Very Severely
It Displayed Fine rowers Ha
Been Accepted.
The first teftt for .the new
Chemical fire fighter was given
at 6 o'clock Saturday evening bn
the Concord ' High "School
grounds.
A rough board shed was erect-
ed for the purposo, containing
about 500 feet of surface most of
which was saturated with kero-
sene oil. A match was put to it
and in a fearfully short time the
building was in flames. r
The heat drove the immense
crowd back when the signal was
given to apply the fiuid. ' It was
a severe test and it seemed at
one time that the llames would
get the better of it, but progress
was being made when the struct
ure fell. The stream was kept
at play and in a surprisingly
short time the black charred
lumber lay without a coal of fire
about it.
The building was all on tiro
insido and out and the wind was
blowing tho llame in dashes to
ward the nozzlemon.
The gas was necessarily less
effective than it would bo in a
house, too, and it was a test pe
culiarly severe, much more so
than in a house, but the way tho
flames were subdued when the
structure fell left no one in doubt
that the machine is highly ef-.
fectual. The general Verdict is
favorable and there are few, We
think, that would be willing to
send the wagon back. The com
mittee accepted it and we now
have another means of protec
tion from firei No one will claim
for this "soda water fountain,"
as some jocularly rall it, hat it
is equal to a heavy stream of
water fpr putting out a fire but
it has the merit of being applied
wh'ere hose cannot reach fpr
want; of hydrants jand it is so
much less ' destructive . to goods
than water whan thrown on in
torrents.
We learn that Philadelphia is
soon to havits 53rd machine of
this kind and where supplied
with these wagons per cent,
of he firos are extinguished with
them.
