Cooper, who | was for eighteen months in New York as "publicity agent for Canada, and | made a study of this question, pre- sented a pretty good case for the | establishment of such agencies in the United States.

Always here- | tofore a doomed prisoner has had | some warning. The new provision | is regarded as merciful. But is it? Only experience can tell, but it may | be illuminating to put oneself in the prisoner's place. Imagine, if you can, yourself condemned to death for al capital crime. Would you rather die | at a definitely appointed time, with at | least several hours' notice to prepare for it, or be "launched into eternity" i in your sleep? | It death were to come wholly un- | awares, that might be the easiest way | for everyone, in prison or out. But | the victim in this case will know that | | ed cere made to find a cure for sleeping sick ness. ---------- "There are three qualities which are essential to Success--honesty, industry and thrift.

Why is it that when anything goes wrong with society men of the worl turn to the Christian forces saying, "Why doesn't the chureh do some- thing." It seems so easy for the man of affairs to "pass the buck to the church. - This is the situation we : pat the Present time, Western Christian' Advocate. Men in the fleld of educatien are saying, | "It is time for the church to do some- thing." In the field of business the great financiers are urging the chufch to get busy in moral educa- tion, In the field of industry the out- standing leaders are expressing the conviction that if the church would only move, things would very quick- ly adjust themselves For instance, the average imper- fect individual in times of distress looks at society and-discovers an in- | crease of irreverence, immorality, lawlessness, dissipation and shocking immodesty, and he throws up his hands and exclaims, "Why does the | Our na- | church not do something? tion is going to ruin."
