Frank R Sandford, heed of the Holy Ghost and Us Society, has begun a ten-year sentence on « technical charge of manslaughter because several of his devotees perished of neglect on the long cruises of his equadron. “Oom the Omnipotent Loving Guru of the Tantrike” is pestered by the police after earlier trouble because of two girls’ report as to the sect’s initiations. “The Establishment of the Holy Spirit” hes been raided on a charge of practising medicine without license. The “Nesdaznans,” or Sun Worshippers, have had their Ohicago temple wrecked in a pitched battle with detectives , who took from them « led of twelve, heir to s fortune, All these infractions of religious freedom are in the news of the day. ‘The story of the month would show at least a score of eeote which have run afoul of police or health boards or immigration bureaus or tenement house authorities. The assault on religious freedom is undenisble, but is likely to go on 80 long as the State fancies it has something to easy where fanaticism endangers life or eupidity or lechory masks in the occult, po THE YEAR'S SHORTEST DAY. ae.

If I could do it by freeing som and leaving others alone, I would also do it.” So wrote Abraham Lincoln in a dark hour when he was the butt of{ Aiscontented people's howls. He hated slavery with an undying hatred But it was a time to save the Union rather than to free a race that fo centuries had been shackled. And, as President of the United States, b turned first to his country’s most urgent need. John Brown had dit upon a visionary scheme for hurling the alave into freedom by & single move, Abolitionists, from the very opening of th civil war, had been clamoring for the President to set the negroes free. 4 thousand more or less wild schemes had been suggested for thetr Nberation A man with a less perfectly balanced brain than Lincoln's would have bee carried away upon the tide of popular feeling. But his calm wisdom wa proof against @ frenzied people's cries. He knew that the right moment ¢ {strike off the shackles had not yet come. And for that moment he waite. B declare the slaves free when he had no means for enforcing the decleratia would have been Uttle wiser than the famous act of the man who ordered ¢B comet to leave the eky. Meantime Lincoln calmly endured such abuse as never before or since he been heaped upon any President. The South cures him as a tyrant, an oppressor, a barbarian, Be ropean newspapers made fun of lis homely, gentd face and his back-woods manners; and he was ales named “The Gorilla.” » North the bDlam for his incompetent un countless blundes was laid at his door. Conservative people growled at hiv progressiveneas, Rag cals and fanatics cursed his wise moderation. Through it all Abraham Lincoln continued unswervinsiy along the hard roa he had mapped out for himself.
