There has been much discussion of
the after-effect of the Sunday visits, j

Sunday's methods and their Immediate
und nftcr-erfects In Scranton, the Rev. I
Asa J. Kerry, pastor of the Uethany

on their faces.

livery man must build his future
on thoughts of It. No one should
waste his time living with regiets,
for, ns the poet has said:
"Time's the thing life's made of."
And no matter how great may be
the regrets over our past we can live
worth-while lles only by keeping
ourselves strong and ambitious by em
ploying the strength that comes
through looking out for tomorrow
Nothing has over been gained b
any man through living In the sad
ness of his estordays.
We once heard n hoary-headed pro
fessor a philosopher say:
"Young men, don't talk when .ott
havu nothing to say. Words are of
such great value that Idle talk crowds
out thoughts that may do Invaluable
good."
Just so with our thoughts. Let u

noble ambitions that make us of ser

therefore, men In fact ns well as In

Let us follow the path that leads

sunshine of happiness Is sifted gently
through the broad branches on oak
trees of thought. PHILLIPS.

But there has been no great boosting of

campaigns against price raising.
"The people of England look to Amer

no fear as to the outcome of the con

RELIGTOUS BREVITIES
Mrs P.nninmin F. Kunkel has had a

Head of the Eastern Peni
tentiary Tells How Con
victs Are Made "Fit" to
Face Life Again.
Warden Robert McKcnty, of the East
ern Penitentiary, Is generally becoming
known ns "Tho Picacher Warden," and
It will not bo surprising If somo of the
colleges and universities award him the
degree of doctor of divinity before many
more commencement seasons pass. If
they do, they will certainly bo giving
the honor to a man who has done much
for tho cause of good and to one who has
done more preaching during the last few
years than have more than 90 per cent,
of 'the ordained clergymen In Philadel
phia. Hardly a day passes that does not carry
to "Bob" MclCenty (Who has ever heard
hlin called Robert?) stacks of Invitations
to speak at all kinds of religious meet
ings, and the warden loves so much to
talk "Practical Christianity" that he can
always bo counted on to nccept invita
tions to speak, unless ho has made pre
vious engagements for like service. During
last winter he gave almost 300 talks at re
ligious meetings, nnd he has made u fair
start thl3 season by addressing one after
another In the same day during early
September.
FOR. "PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY."
"Practical Christianity" that's ' the
thing that "Bob" harps on from morning
until night and sometimes fnr Into the
night, for many are the times when It
Is after midnight when he arrives home
from the outskirts of the city, where
he hns been driving home some of his
"common sense" aiguments In the hopo
that there may be sufficient aid to great
ly reduce his official family.
When he became warden, six years
ago, one of the first things MclCenty did
was to make friends with the prisoners
and to try to moke men of them, so that
when they had finished their terms they
would not dart out the big Iron doors
like frightened wild animals, and, with
hanging heads and fear of the criticism
of their one-time friends, seek some den
In tho Tenderloin or slum, wheie thev
might forever hide themselves fiom
those they had known.
"Rob" was n member of the city de
tective foice for 20 years, anil Director
of Public Safety before he assumed his
duties within the stone walls, and he
declared a day or two ago that he knew
that the majority of the ex-convlcts
sought some billing place hi the slums,
with tho result that most of them fell
back into tho company of other ex-convicts
and the kind of crowds that had
sent them "up" first, and every soon they
were back in the cells ug.iln.
Beeuuse of thoso observations. Warden
McKcnty was a strong advocate of tho
law permlttln-T the parole of prisoner:!,
which was adopted by the St-ite Legis
lature in 190. and. notwithstanding the
frrepient criticisms that have been
heard against tho system, tho records in
tho penitentiary office fIiow that It has
been a. wonderful aid to thoso trying to
reform the convicts and to mike real
men of them. But, would It havo been
such a jiucccss without Warden McKcnty
o prenare the men for It? In answer
ti this question, stop a moment nnd
He what he has to say about the work,
ml then tho render may decide.
MAUC CONVICTS FIT.
'The first thins to be done, as I saw
i " snld tho warden, "after I ainn up
it e, In order to mike the p.nole sys.
m a Miccess, was to start to mako the
lei ne,3 f)t to be painled. With the poa-hie-
rNceptlon of the illlllciilties that

going to receive bigger envelopes for
their work than they have over received
In their lives, and perhaps their first hon
est dollars are before them. They have
certain feelings of Independence nnd self
respect. And we have found that when
they leave under these, circumstances
they seldom como back, and as our re
ports show, they make good In their work
and becomo citizens of vnluo In tho
world."
After this little talk Warden McKenty
proudly turned over the pnges of tho re
ports on paroled prisoners, and hero Is
what was found:
Since 1SC3, when the law went Into
effect, prisoners paroled, between 1000 and
1100; nbout J25 returned for breaking
parole rules; 12 returned and asked to
bo taken back, because they felt tho need
of more ot the Influence they had had
while prisoners, and feared that they
might do something very wrong; 33 have
been recommitted to this prison or sent
to somo other penal Institution for some
later crime, nnd all others more than
900 of them havo been reporting regu
larly, working and living respectable
lives.
KEEPS HIS EYE ON THEM.
Among them are many who have
worked out their parolo period, but the
warden keeps an eye on them, and knows
that they arc doing woll. Several of tho
men paroled nre In business ono or two
of them well known here and arc mak
ing profits of as much as $1200 every
month, nnd the average earnings of the
men on parole Is $10 n month. This Is be-
Ilevei to be a fair wage when It Is con
sidered that most of them nre working
In the country or small towns nnd cities.
Every one ot tho men who came back
for the protection of tho warden had
allowed "rum" to get the bcttet of them,
and practically evpry one who was
brought hack for breaking parole rules
was found to have fallen from his
strnlght path because of drink, Warden
McKenty avers.
Directly or Indirectly "The Fienchor
Warden" declares, "rum" sends almost
everj- prisoner to the penitentiary, and
ho has turned tho convicts against It
so much that more than S00 of them,
without his knowledge, signed a petition,
which is to be presented to the Stato
Legislature tho coming winter, asking
that the sale of liquor be stopped.
"Bob" 13 a firm believer in iellglou.t
freedom, and only a few months ago
Masses wero first said within tho prison
walls for tho Catholic prisoners, nnd now
each Sunday there are seivlcc3 con
ducted by Protestant clergymen nnd
Catholic priests, nnd the Jewish rnbbls
also held services for tho Hebrew pris
oners during the New Year holidays just
past. Any religion is good, so long ns
It stands for tho right, declares the war
den, and It is tho "practical Christianity"
that counts most,
HELPFCLNESS IS BKST.
" 'Practical Christianity" means unself
ish helpfulness," says Warden McKcn
ty. "And that Is what Is needed mojt
among tho church people to keep men
-out of prison, nnd to make men out of
prisoners when they get out. Church
people can do most to keep men out by
piactlclng whnt they prench. Tho little
things they do during tho weekdays go
toward pointing the way for the tempted
to right living than all the big things
the church people cin do on Sundays.
"InsU-ul of criticising the unfortunates
and 'prnctlcnl Chrlstlanltv ,11
pull them up Instead of turn in it J"1,
down and making them feel that un m
son cares for them ntid that It maif '
not to any ono what becomes of tni,
"When n man does BOmo smaii ,zi
lhat la hot Juat right the best L'v ".'
break him of It lsVto assist h,'
treat him klndly-apply tho hrotheth
rule. That's tho best way. The effl
brotherhoods havo dono much lo h,
In our parole work, they nie helnln, ?l
every day! but they can do much V
