Criminal Complicity*
If 500,000 men were being
imprisoned or torn from their
homes and driven into exile there
would l>e a general outcry and
uprising for their defense. And
this would be right. Hut there
are more than this number in
this country who are being re
quired to sacrifice their conscience
and their souls at the heartless
. demand of organized and en
trenched greed. Do you ask what
we mean? We mean simply this:
Men in the employ of several of
the chief lines of industry, nota
bly railroading and daily news
paper publishing, are forced to
ceaseless Sunday toil or to join
the ranks of the unemployed and
hungry and shelterless who I teg
for bread.
It is to say that this is a free
country and if they don't want to
work they can give up the job.
This while literally true is vir
tually false. Take a laboring
man with wife and several chil
dren to provide for. They are
poor and own no home, lie is a
railroad engineer, understands
this work, knows nothing else.
When he has constant employ
ment Sal lie and the little ones are
housed and clothed, well fed and
cared for. Hut he has no money
ahead. Beginning Monday morn
ing he does a good week's work
and Saturday night retires to rest
contented and happy. He prom
ises himself and family a good,
sweet Sabbath of rest and spiritual
profit. They expect to attend
Sunday school and church. He
feels the need of rest for his body,
invigoration for his mind and
spiritual food and renewing for
his soul. () how sweet the pros
pect of the blessed Sabbath privi-1
leges to this honest toiler.
But Sunday morning he is
V o
aroused at 4 o'clock with the an
nouncement that passenger train
No. 4, due to leave at ♦> a. m.
must be on time and he must car
ry her. In vain does he plead
the fact that he has already done
six days work in the week; the
seventh is demanded.” “Hut I
do not believe in Sunday work;
I am trying to liye right and save
my soul. All this avails nothing, j
“The train must go, sir; and you!
may surrender your job and go
forth penniless and unemployed
or be at your post on time.”
Conscience strives, the command
of God stares him in the face, it
is one of the Ten; but hunger and
want rise up before him. He
thinks of the coming rent bill,
bears in mind the monthly pro
vision account, thinks of various
obligations and necessary expen
ditures. He yields to the pres
sure of necessity and goes forth
to hard toil.
As the train passes station af
ter station he sees congregations
gathering and dispersing, hears
the bell calling the people to Sun
day school, preaching, Christian
Endeavor, song service, etc., and
his heart aches to join the good
wife and little ones at home in
the place of prayer and praise.
But no such privilege is his. He
thinks of these things and his
heart grows hard and bitter.
By-and-by he sees a familiar
face—it is a preacher whom he
has always loved, trusted and
honored. He has heard this min
ister exhort the j>eopIe to love
(iod and keep his commandments.
But behold the clergyman emerge
from the dejad valise in hand
and hoard the train. Our engi-j
ueer logins to think on this wise:
This railroad is run for money;
the owners and managers have no
God but gold; though, forsooth,
some of them are church mem
l*ers and hold official |>osition;
but they evidently do not care ’
whether 1 go to the devil or not, j
so they can coin money from my;
sweat. But that preacher pre-!

I tends to love God and all men.
' He is supposed to stand up for
the right against the wrong. But
It)! with all his preaching and pro
fession here lie is giving his sanc
tion to this company's (tod-defy
ing and man-oppressing conduct,
i Here behold are two other ac
quaintances boarding the train,
one a Methodist steward, the oth
er a Baptist deacon. The engi
neer still thinks. He says, “If
these men were what they pro
fess—friends of (iod and human
ity, soldiers of Christ—they |
• would ho bonding their energies1
to stop this Sabbath breaking and
give me the benefits of the Lord s
| day, to lie with my family, hear
: the Word and save my soul."
| That night the corporation
| counts its gains and says Sunday
running pays; the people want it,
! the church official and even the
parson support us- we will put
on more trains, work more men
and make more money next Sun
day.
The engineer that night, tired,
disappointed and heartsore, talks
Over matters with his conductor,
flagman and porter. He says,
“Boys, I always believed in reli
gion till today, but my faith is
shaken. I looked up to parson
B. as a good man, but he cares i
nothing for us. This company
I only demands that we work on
'Sunday because it pays. It only
pays because people patronize it.
These old contemptible church
hypocrites could stop this
thing if they would: but, no, sir!
they furnish the money to run it.
They need never say religion to
me any more, I'm done." To j
his speech they all agree, and
hasten away to the saloon to]
quiet their nerves and drown
their troubles.
Next morning parson B. reads
a paper before the ministerial
association on “How to reach the
masses,” deploring the fact that
they are getting further and fur-i
tlier from the Church, and ree- i
ommending “a series of lectures j
on such scientific questions as]
may interest and draw the peo
ple”
The masses would have been
reached long ago, Imt for such
men in pulpit and pew as drove!
our engineer into infidently. !
May god save the church and the I
world from the example of such
sinners as Sabbath breakers.-— ]

Sec and rejoice over the grand
stand taken by the Christian En
deavor Convention at Cleveland.
I Such movements as this will tell
| for good in all the coining years.
No meetings of the great
Christian Endeavor Convention
at Cleveland were so enthusiastic
as those devoted to the discussion
I of temperance and good citizen
ship. The strongest utterances
of John G. Wooley's stirring ap
peals for the Churches to take the
lead in warfare against the saloon,
were enthusiastically indorsed.
Miss Willard addressed the Con-;
vent km on Sunday, receiving for
herself and the cause she repre
sents a magnificent greeting. The
Convention adopted the following !
resolution on the question of in- i
toxicants: Resolved, That we
recogSize the sale and use of in
toxicants as the greatest evil of
the times, and the chief enemy of
the physical, moral, and spirit
ual well-being of man, and we
hold ourselves pledged as Chris
tian Endeavorers to seek the ut- i
ter overthrow of this evil at all
times in every lawful way.—W.

I They are “Drawing1 tin* Line.”
Another of the great social
bodies of today has declared in
favor of prohibition as will be
seen from the following action of
the Knights of Pythias. Let the
•rood work go on. One by one
I f* r* v
the social orders are falling into
line and the tendency continues
I'
to he upward:
Washington, Aug. 31.—The
Supreme Lodge of Knights of
Pythias received a report today
from a committee to draft a now
ritual for the uniform order, and
made the matter a special order :
for next Tuesday.
A discussion of the proposed,
amendments to the constitution, j
j which will establish a judicial!
body analogous to the Supreme |
Court empowered to decide dis- j
putes over constitutional matters,
absorbed most of the day.
It is understood that the com
mittee of live to which was dele
gated the investigation of the!
membership in the fraternity of
liquor (leaders and bartenders,
will report in favor of an amend
ment to the constitution, which
will prevent in the future admis
sion of such persons, although
not affecting the standing of those
who have been admitted.
Tested l>fv a liank Account.
There is a story of u printer,
who, when his fellow-workman
went out to drink beer during
working hours, put in the hank
the exact amount which he would |
have spent if he had gone out to
drink with them, lie kept to!
his resolution for five years. He
then examined his bank account,
and found that he had on deposit
S521.N5. In the live years he
had not lost a day from ill-health, j
Four or live of his fellow-work-!
man had, in the meantime, be
come drunkards, were worthless
as workmen, and were discharg
ed. The water-drinker bought a
printing office, went on enlarging
his business, and, twenty years
from the time he began to put by
his money, was worth one hun
dred thousand dollars.”—Ex
change.
Behind the rum-seller is the
law that licenses the business.
Behind the license law is the leu
islature that makes the law, and
behind the legislature are the in
dividual members of society who
elect the legislature.—Rev. A. B.
Leonard.
Public sentiment is constantly
crystalizing against the saloon.
