It Is next to impossible to obtain con-
viction of a man' charged with the
murder of another, or of a woman, if
*T>ut I love hef so” is used as a de-
fense.
In short, the freeing of men and
women when charged in the Paris
^criminal courts with what the peo-
ple of France call “crimes passionals,”
has come to be a scandal. Certain
legal tights have suggested mixed ju.
y, ries, that is, Juries composed of men
aad women* as a remedy. Miss Chris-
. tabel Pankhurst, editor of the “Suf-
fragette” and daughter of Mrs. Emma,
line Pankhurst, gave her opinion on
the subject as follows: \ '
1 am In favor of women in the
Jury box. Women have a finer sense
of justice than men, * and, on a jury,
would have just as thorough an un-
pretending of the responsibilities
resting upon them. And she would be^toad,' the
fearless, while to her intellectual
equality with her brothers on the Jury
she would add the sixth -sense of In.
tuition often so neoessarx in court.
Her viewpoint might be deferent from
man's, but men differ among them-
selves; besides the mixed jury seems
to me to offer Just what justice needs:
Severity, tempered with Indulgence.
“Women are better judges of women
.fghan are men. Wotaen alone under-
stand her sex, its weaknesses and
shortcomings. ^ She would and could
administer the sums justice to the old
find unlovely women Ss to the young
and beautiful girl. ' Without women
on Juries, real justice Is a myth.
“Without mentioning other ‘ coun. ’ diameter
tries, in England," I am sorry to say,
the men are more and ipore coming to

The one figure whiejh stands

We found in onr lesson of last
week that although he had the
difficult task of following the
gr?at leader, Mosei; still Qod
blessed him as he lad promised
with magnified leadership, (3:7).
With Joshua as w:th us magni-
fied leadership is conditioned up>-
oa^two things—hearts and minds
filled with the wor 11 and will of
God and lives reac y to do. In
this lesson we find another mark
of a tnlly great leader. lie must
be a man of vision. Meditating
and talone Joshua goes outAciward
Jerico and he sees a vision of
“The l'rince of the Hosts of Je-

acquired much know edge of unus-

ai y turns and poor hoi see in Peking.
A: the same time he n s great hopes
ol -the Chinese becom ng more and
more active in bette Ing conditions
amon| their own peoile. Kjle thinks,
too, that tbe new liberty of ideas
which the Republic hsf brought about
will increase the number of Chris-
tl ini converts more rapidly than here-
tofore Out of a membership of 400,
tlje Chinese Y. M. C. A in Peking has
a{ present but thirty acknowledged

converts made by missionaries have
g< tnerslly come from the poorer class-
ei, and many of these Christians are
unable t6 spare from their earnings

bership Xv
As s result of nls Investigations,
Burgess says there are 33,000
