Converted in Boyhood Makes a
Frank Confession That Is
Worthy of Attention
A recent number of the American
Magazine takes up the subject or lte

the course of the article which is a
deiense of the church the following
confession of a young Chicago uou
churchgoer is published
Your story of The Rev Uilly Sun
day and His War on the Devil in the
American Magazine refreshed the
memory of my own conversion back in
1SSS under the preaching of another
great revivalist 1 was 11 years old at
the time
I had been making trouble in school
when the meetings began Aly people
were worried about me The revival
ist offered a way to reform So 1
urged to attend the meetings Of
course 1 heard a great deal about hell
and the damnation of sinners Scores
were being converted Thcie was
great excitement I was pushed and
pulled Finally 1 surrendered al- j
though I was not conscious of any
thing but a desire to please my par- j

to effect the necessary reform in my
conduct at school
The next step was joining the
church That was easy All I had to
do was to ko through the ordeal of a
meeting with the church committee I
composed chiefly of respected old men
in the town whose confidence I was
glad to have
I enjoyed the experience of being

Nogga was a dilapidated looking

On January 14 said Nogga my
self and seven other men were
shipped out by this employment
agency to Lynn N M The firm had
an advertisement on the blackboard
saying that men were wanted there at
2 a day We paid 3 each for the
job and left here at 2 p m
When we arrived there at 6 oclock
the next evening the hoss informed us
that he was paying only 175 a day
for men He said we could get that
if we went to work right then but if
we waited a day longer he would give
us only 125 a day
Nogga says he was also informed
that he would have to pay 5 a week

Tushkahoma I T A commission
of chiefs has closed a deal for the
Choctaw Indians for about 100000
acres of land in Mexico The tract
is located in the states of Pueblo and
Oaxaca and combines mountain and
stream and prairie as an immense
hunting reservation The prices agreed
upon range from one to five dollars an
acre
The Choctaws have been dissatisfied
with their lands In the territory and
negotiations for lands in Mexico have
been pending for two years They
will go to Mexico as soon as they are
able to dispose of their territory

Pittsburg Because Frederick Jan
kovicz refused to move from his home
on Brereton avenue he declares that
his landlord Wincenty Schumanski
placed a board on top of his chim
ney and tried for two weeks to smoke
tho family out
Jankovicz says his children all be
came sick and his household goods
were completely ruined by smoke and
he began suit against the landlord for
10000 damages
When Jankovicz mounted to the
roof and removed the board that cov
ered the flue he says Schumanski en
tered charges against him of malicious
mischief At the end of the two
weeks the family was almost frozen
and dependent on the neighbors for
any cooked food that came to their
taile the plaintiff declares
had become a habitual church goer
1 By the time I was IS or 19 I began
to grow sick of it all I began to see
I that I had no genuine interest in the
j church I was not going to the bad
either Far from it My conviction
I that decency niakys for happiness was
taking deep root I intended to he a
good man and I began to want to
work it out in my own way I felt
that 1 was just about to begin my seri
ous life and do you want it straight
from the shoulder I felt that I
wanted to begin outside the church
I dont know why I ani not arguing
this thing or trying to prove anything
I am just trying to tell you
Very soon I was 21 I think I
left the little town where my father
and mother brought me up and came
to Chicago to live That was nine
vears aso And shall I tell you I
have never been inside a church more
than a dozen times since
Now I dont want you to interpret
this as a criticism of the church Do
you think I would rebuke the
tion which has given my good father
and mother that peace which is my
happy assurance of their future well
being Neither do I find fault with the
Rev Billy Sunday Not one out of
100000 whom he has converted may
turn out the way I have He may not
try to convert children either I dont
know about that I think that that
makes very little difference however
Many people are children no matter
how old they are All I know is that
ever since I can remember the church
es have been rushing names onto their
membership rolls And yet the cry is
that the churches are falling off in
numbers Where do they all go

The Sphinx and the Infinite
I can imagine the most determined
atheist looking at the sphinx and in
a flash not merely believing but feel
ing that he had before him proof of
the life of the soul beyond the grave
of the life of the soul of Kliuru beyond
the tomb of his pyramid Always as
you return to the sphinx you wonder
at it more you adore more strangely
its repose you steep yourseif more
j intimately in the aloof peace that
1 seems to emanate from it as light
emanates from the sun And as you
look on it at last perhaps you under
stand the infinite you understand
where is the bourne to which the
Inite flows with all its greatness as
the great Nile flows from beyond Vic
