From the l.mullloCourlci Journal
A clover trick was worked by Walter
Itedniond and his wife jester day morn
ing at Pnlon station by which several
tr.n cling men weio duped out of their
money. At the end of a long seat In
the waiting room was a pretty and
modest-looking joting woman attired
in a Salvation Anny uniform. She
was erv Intent upon a paper which
she was leading and paid llttlo atten
tion to the crowd ot traveling men
standing near her.
Aside from the crowd was a well
dressed juung man. who was walking
back and forth by the newsstand puff
ing nwny at a fragrant cigar. Finally
a member of the crowd of travelling
men remarked upon the beauty of tho
little Salvation Army worker. All eyes
were fixed on the llttlo woman and
she received many compliments. Tho

had been walking near the group of

too, was struck with tho appearance
of the woman.
"I'll give any one of you fellows $15

Thoe In the crowd took the dare,
Oiip spoke up, howeer, and said to tho
stranger who had offered the money:
"I'll bit you $20 that j ou can't kiss
her "
The stranger hesitated for several
seconds and then said:
"I'll just take that bet."
The moriev was put up and the stran
ger, who had given his name as Wal

little woman In unifoim, nnd, after
bowing profoundly, took a seat by her
side.
At first tlio woman seemed to bo ery
Indignant, and the ti.iveling man
thought tho VO won. A minute later,
howener, Itpdmoud's arm stole around
the woman s waist. The spectatois
then began to open their eyes wide.

or Nowspnpcrs.
The Evangelical Alliance, of which
now Dr. Joslalt Strong is general sec
retary, hns lflued the following state
ment; The grentest marvel of the century Just
ill awing to n closo is the unprecedented
development of tho material sldo ot Mv
lllzatloii. There hns been no por'espe.nd
Iiik moral nnd Intellectual growth Tho
multiplied and closer relations Into which
we hao been tliriut have cicnlM .vw
problems which tho popular Intelligence
docs not understand, and n.w obliga
tions which tlio popular consc cut" e docs
i.ot accept. Tlio greutest need of the
times a generic need which Includes iv
ory desirablo reform, moral, social, polit
ical, and Industrial Is the education of
public opinion and of the popular con
science Every new reform divides society Into
three classes, lz.. Its friends who me
few Its enemies who are few, and the
Indifferent who nro many If the reform
Is cer victorious, it must win Its vic
tory from tho many who are Indiffer
ent. How can they bo adequately
reached? Not by the pulpit, for less than
one-half of the people attend any church,
Protestant or Ho man Catholic, not by the
press, because reform liteiatuic Is
bought only by those who nro already
Converted to tho reform, nnd falls to
leach precisely those who need It most.
If the Indifferent must be educated by
the truth nnd arc too Indifferent to buy
It or go after It, thej- must be reached
by those who aro sufllclently Interested
to carry It to them.
DisTmmmoN
Tho various young people's organlz i
tlons of the United States, such as the
Christ! in Endeavor societies, Epworth
leagues, etc, now Include between four
nnd live million members. Some of these
jouiig people aro already doing much,
but their organizations represent a vast
power, as yet largelj' latent, which can
be easily utilized, It is now pioposcd to
the pastors of every community to dis
trict tho same, to enlist their j-oung peo
ple as messengers, nnd to assign ono to
each district for tho monthly distribu
tion of leaflets Tho blcjcle makes It
entirely feasible to reach the scattered
houses of country dlstiicts If ono In
ten of theso joung people should distri
bute a dozen leaflets a month, they
would scatter GO,0UO,O00 In u jear, at
hast one-hnlf of which would reach fam
ilies who never attend church, who tnko
no religious paper and who presumably
see no li'form llteintuie
Of course the value of tho work will
depend on the value of the literature.
It is to bo no goody-goody stuff, more
likely to reach tho waste-basket than
the conscience and the heart, but strong,
Incisive, bright, attractive and thoiough
ly healthy. Tlio Evangelical alliance Is
now preparing such leaflets under tho
general heading of "Truths for tlio
Times." Thero will be a series on good
citizenship for foreign Americans, dis
cussing such topics as the following. 1
The Meaning and Value of Naturaliza
tion, 2 Tho Ilights of tho Naturalized
Citizen; 3. Tho Duty of tho Naturalized
Citizen; 4. Tho Value of a Vote; C.
Fundamental Principles of American In
stitutions, and tho like. Theso will he
translated Into as many languages as
me j bo necessary. Thero will lie another
good citizenship series for native Ameri
cans. Other series will bo prepared In
the Interest of Sabbath reform, temper
ance reform, social purltj, etc, etc. Vt o

In the interest of good citizenship Five

PURPOSE.
It maj- bo added that at present wo
havo no means by which tho conscience
of a commonwealth can bo brought to
bear quickly and effectively upon tho
stato legislature. Hence bills which out
rago tho moral sense of the people) aro
often enacted Into law, and gooel bills
fall hecauso there Is no medium through
which the pressuro of public opinion can
bo brought to bear. Through the med
ium proposed above, public opinion can
bo not onlj- educated, but nlso expressed
by means of petitions and piotests, so
that It would nmount In effect to tho
referendum, and bo moiallj ceitaln to
determine the action of tho people's rep
resentatives. This schemo for tho education of pub
lic opinion and the quickening of tho
popular conscience contemplates tho best
brains In the country to prepare the lit
erature, tho pastor's knowledge of local
needs to decldo tho lino ot woik and to
select tho literature, and the hands nnd
feet of the young people to distribute
it The cost of tho lltcrnture, divided be
tween tho churches of tho various young
people's societies. Is Insignificant.
Within tho last few months the plan
has been appioved and adopted by tlio
pastors of moie than a scoro of cities.
Last month a convention was held
at Hurrlsburg, Pa., for the purpose of
effecting the oiganlzatlon of a State
Evangelical alliance, with a view to
pushing this work Into every commun
ity in Pennbjlvnnla. A committee of
thirty prominent laymen and clergy
men, representing the state geogiuphl
cully and denominationally-, was ap
pointed. Among them aie such men
as exrGovernor Heaver, ex-Governor
Pnttlson, Blshlp Foss, Mr. A. H, Far
quhar, and President George E. Reed,
of Dickinson college.
