A Short Sermon
By Rev. S. L. Ball, Sherman, Texas
rapidly.
T
art in
If there is one law on the statute
books of Texas that deserves to be
repealed more than any other, it is
undoubtedly the search and seizure
act passed by the 39th Legislature.
It may not have been intended by its
author and proponents as a bulwark
of safety for the criminal, but it is
certainly proving out just that very
thing.
Judge O. S. Lattimore of the Court
of Criminal Appeals, in commenting
on the law recently took occasion to
say:
"The search and seizure law is
being invoked in most liquor prosecu-
tions, and in every other character of
prosecution where the question can be
raised. I had on my desk a short lime
ago a bank robbery case from San
Antonio where the testimony showed
that the officers entered one door ot'
the bank when the alleged robbers
went out the other. The officers were
on hot trails but every time they at-
tempted to testify about going into :i
building or room or placc to attempt
to catch the supposed criminals or get
evidence of their guilt, they were con-
fronted by objections 011 the ground
that they had no search warrant. I
have on my desk now a rather noted
case from North Texas where a man
is charged with murder alleged to
have been committed in the perpetra-
tion of robbery. I find in the record
various bills of exception to the action
of the officers in searching his prem-
ises and finding evidence which they
claim connects him with other bank
robberies. I had on my desk recently
a cattle theft case in which an animal
was taken one night and butchered.
The head, horns, offal, etc. were buried
in a pasture. The testimony of the
officers going into the pasture and
finding these things was objected to
on the ground that the officers had no
search warrant. Have just picked up
record of conviction of keeping slot
machine in room at hotel in El Paso.
Evidence of officers who found ma-
chines objected to because they had no
search warrant.
"I think I would be safe in saying
that said law is invoked in many
murder cases. I recall one where the
killing took place in a house. The
officers were phoned for at once and
went up to the house. Their testi-
mony as to what they found in the
house when they arrived was objected
to on the ground that they had no
search warrant.
"I think I would be safe in saying
that this law is being invoked in
many classes of cases, and for many
purposes that its authors never
dreamed of."
What a terrible indctment against
this law, and by such an authority!
If these things are true, and of course
they cannot be doubted, coming a?
they do from so eminent a source,
they disclose a lamentable state of
affairs. How can we expect the laws
to be enforced when a peace officer
appears in court offering positvie evi-
dence of the criminal's guilt, and the
defendant's attorney can object to it
and have it thrown out because the
officer did not get a search warrant?
Often evidence could be destroyed and
the criminals escape, if the officers
should take time to go through the
red tape of getting a search warrant.
An effort is to be made at the com-
ing special session of the Legislaturec
to amend or repeal this obnoxious law,
we understand, and it is to be hoped
that our senator and representatives
will stand solidly for its repeal.
"LET ME GO."
"Let ME go," is an expression of-
ten heard when going would lead to
something pleasant or desirable, but
far less frequently when going means
danger and perhaps death.
Last January 16 young Hadley Hull
broke through thin ice while skating
near Indianapolis. A companion start-
ed to attempt his rescue when he was
held back by Barton B. Bradley, aged
who sflid i
"Let ME go, Billy, I'm lighter than
you."
Bradley went. The ice failed to
hold even his lighter weight and he
nerished in the icy waters with his
friend.
A few days ago the grand council
of the Order of DeMolay, in session
at Louisville voted a heroism medal
in Bradley's name to be presented to
his parents. Citizens of Indianapolis
have established a scholarship fund in
his memory.
Most touching of all, the Arsenal
Technical School at which he was a
student has adopted as its motto
Bradley's last words: "Let ME go."
That motto, with the story of he-
roism accompanying it, should inspire
many a youth with something of Bar-
ton Bradley's spirit.

cries of their children when they
know nothing is the matter, but as the
mother quickly detects the cry of dis-
tress and flies to the relief of the
little sufferer, so our Father hears
and answers the earnest cry of the
truly penitent soul.
Sometimes ^ sinner gets very sick
and begins to think he is going to
have to quit sinning. He is not sorry
that he is a sinner; he is sorry he is
likely to have to quit. He pretends
to pray. God pays no attention to
him and if he gets well he goes right
on sinning.
Brotherhood of Man.
Much has been said and written
upon the Fatherhood of God and the
Brotherhood of man. This is ideal,
but Rin hns prevented it from becom-
ing real. Prophecy seems to indicate
that the time will come when all men
will be brethren, and when all will be
children of "our Father which art in
heaven." But that time is not yet.
All men in a sense are children of
God by creation and all have been
redeemed by the blood of Christ, but
all have not been adopted into the
family of God. All men are by nature
"the children of wrath." Eph. 2:3.
Hence all men need Christ and his re-
deeming, purifying grace. This "na-
ture" is not the original human nature
given to our first parents, but it is
the fallen, corrupted human nature of
the race caused by the entrance of sin
into the world. By one man sin en-
tered into the world, and death by
sin; and so death passed upon all men,
for that all have sinned." Rom. 5:12.
But Christ came to restore this fallen
nature to its original purity and to
bring back into the highest and holiest
fellowship with the Father,
Children of the Devil,

seem to prefer to have nothing to do
with the Father, nor will they allow
him to do anything for them. They
live in open violation of divine law,
end resist every human effort to bring
them back to our Father. Hence
they are called "children of the
cry." The divine ears are not „
