If men would only stop to ask them-
selves when they are tempted to let their
tongue run riots with sacred names,
"What is the meaning of the words I am
moved to utter," they would be shocked
and hohl their peace. Is the Savior of
Mankind a personality that we should
speak of Him in accents others than those
of reverence?

RICH MEN AND PUNISHMENT.
Three bankere have just been sentenced
to the penitentiary in New York. Only
tWO er three weeks ago a eouple of bank-
ers and a high city offl4gal were eon-
s -toted of erime. Several hankers, were
sent to the penitentiary as the result of
fananeterIng metheds some of which were
efforte to eseape the disasters on that
occasion. A few years One of the most
prominent banker in Chleago was sent
to the penitentiary. The counnOn sneer
that rich men eseape while pour men
aro sent to prison is not true. It never
was less true than in theee last ten or
fifteen years, when so very much is sale
about wealth being superior to law. A
list of the beekere who have been sent
to prison In recent years would lone
enough to silence the eYnivism that rich
men can violate the las' 'with impunity.
