The Greatest ls Charity.

In the first Epistle to the Corin-
thians, chapter xiii, St. Paul lays par-
ticular stress upon the virtue of charity,
without which, he declares, he is “but
sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal.”
He gives as the cardinal attributes of a
Christian life, faith, hope and charity.
and finishes with the incontrovertible
statement, “but the greatest of these
is charity.”

A great many people,very good people
too, look upon charity in its absolute,
material sense, and are thoroughly con-
vinced in their own minds that they
are inlly meeting all its requirements
when they dole out a piece of meat or
bread or a second-hand garment to some
one poorer than themselves.

This kind of charity is so common to
life as hardly to be noticeable. It is an
everyday occurrence, the cessation of
which would cause a great deal more
comment than does the actual Operation.

It is a very easy matter when you
meet a beggar in the street, to run your
hand in your pocket and give him a
nickel or more; and it is merely a. trifle
when one calls at your house to hand
him some scraps from your own meal
or a worn-out garment from your own
wardrobe. These things are mere in-_
stinct-c, possessed alike by sinner and

saint. _

iZBut there is a broader and a grander
“charity than the one that merely pro-

vides for the body that perishes. It is
a charity that comes from the heart
and brain and soul, melted into one
divine iorcr, that makes the giver more
clearly stand the strange, sweet rela-
tion to the Christ, who was and is Him-
self the very soul and personifica ion of
charity.

This is the charity cf thought and
judgment, which so few of us possess,
and ‘wrthcut which we are as “sounding
brass and a tickling cymbal.”

Nobody can be a true, Christian who
does not possess this divine spirit of
charity, and, if everybody would try to
cultivate it, this grim old earth of ours
would be a far more delightful dwell-
ing-place than it now is. '

For instance, you hear that a certain
than has gone wrong, and you listen
eagerly to every petty detail of the
shameful story that is brought to your
ears. You readi y believe the tales
that are recorded against him, perhaps

. embellish them yourself. The next,
time you meet you greet him very cold-
ly or turn from him with averted face.

How much better it would be for you
and for him. and for the world, if your
soul was so full of the broader spirit of
true charity and love that it would not
permit you to pass judgment upon your
fellow, but rather send you to his aid
in the conflict that he is waging, appar-
ently alone.

He may be proven innocent, and, in-
stead 'of havmg something to reproach
yourself with, your heart will be all
agiow with joy that you have not added
to another’s burdens.

In dealing with your brother and sis-
ter you must remember that you can
only iully appreciate the trials and
tribulations to which your own life is
exposed. You know nothing of theirs,
and charity dictates that you judge not,
lest you be judged.

Far beyond the doling out of material
films is that spiritual charity that has a
smile and a friendly handclasp and a
"word of cheer for one well nigh hope
less and helpless, who is stumbling
:along the rocky ways of life, almost
ready to perish. Such charity lifts that
holpen soul up to the attitude designed
by its Maker, and the angels in Heaven
arr joice over a victory won. _

Charity “ beareth all things, be-
:lieveth all things, hopeth all things, en-

: «dureth all things ” That is the true
spirit of charity, and it says tozthe poor,
'r‘i’nite human being so quick to condemn
a l’“ ther, “Put yourself in his place.”

PATERSON ’s * MYSTERY
The Murder of Miss Sullivan Bids Fair
to Remain Unavenged.

THE POLICE ARE ALL AT SEA

Council Offers a Reward of $500 For the
Apprehension of the Culprit—Va.-
rious Theories Advanced—A
Gray Coated Man ‘Vanted.

PATERSON, March 7,—The murder of
Mary E. Sullivan bids fair to go down in
the criminal history of New Jersey as an
unsolved and unexplained mystery. The
young woman was brutally mangled in
one of the most frequented streets in the
central portion of the city, and evidently
made a desperate struggle for her life. -

Ten minutes before the dead body was
found a police sergeant passed the spot
where the murder occurred, and yet the

\ murderer escaped and left not the slight-

est clew that offers any hope of capture.
The police admit that they are completely
mystified and are groping in the dark.
There is no doubt that the heavy iron
coupling pin that was found in the lot at
Eighteenth street and Madison avenue,

near where Miss Sullivan was murdered, '

was the instrument with which the mur-
der was done. The stains on the jagged
head of it are blood stains, the authorities
say. No chemical analysis has yet been
made of,. them, but they will be subjected
to such a test in order to absolutely prove
this belief. The pin bears the mark of
the Susquehanna railroad, whose tracks
cross Madison avenue buttwo blocks from
the scene of the murder. .

This fact has led to the general belief
that the murder was the work of a tramp.
Schoolboys called at police headquarters
and said that they had dropped a coupling
pin in the lot on Tuesday. When they
saw the pin. however, they said that it
was not the one that they had bad. So it
was deemed probable that this pin was
picked up along the tracks of the Susque-
hanna railroad.

The Police Theory.

Chief of Police Graul said that he was
absolutely in the dark. .

“We have not a clew on which to
Work,” said he. “I have no doubt that
the man in the gray overcoat, whom Olaf
Peterson passed about a hundred yards
from where he found the body,- was the
man who committed‘the murder.

“We have not a sufficient description of
the follow to find him. Peterson paid lit-
tle attention, and did not see his face. I
do not believe that the same man attacked
Miss Lynch and Mrs. Graves. Of course
it looks suspicions that those women
should have been attacked in the same
neighborhood shortly before the murder,
but still the men they describe do not in
the least answer Peterson’s description of
the fellow in the gray coat.

”I believe that the murderer was a
tramp. There are scores of tramps coming
through the city every day. Then the
fact that the girl was killed so near the
railroad and with a. car coupling pin bears
out this conclusion. What inystifies me
is What motive there was for the crime.

“The murderer evidently did not kill
the woman to rob her, since a diamond
stiokpin, a-diamond ring and some other
trinkets were still on her when she was
found. Again, there wasno evidence that
she had been improperly assaulted, and no
sane man would have attacked the woman
with such a motive in such a. spot.

“With the exception of that one small
vacant lotion the corner there are houses
all about and trolley cars pass every five
minutes. I do not believe that there is a
night, no matter how bad the weather,
when persons are not passing where the
girl lay every two or three minutes.

“There is a police box on the corner 100
feet from where the girl lay. Policeman
Whom rung that box at 9:10 o’clock.
Sergeant Ricker rang the same box at
9:20. Peterson found the body at 9:30.
So there was just ten minutes during
which the whole thing must have oc-
curred.

“Do I think that it was the work of a
crazy man? I have no opinion on that sub-
ject. I do not believe that robbery or as-
sault was the motive.”

No Motive Suspected.

County Physician Johnson said today
that the murder seemed to be devoid of
any motive, and he was inclined to place
the case in the category of the “Jack the
Ripper” class. He said it had been clear-
ly established that the motive for the
crime was not robbery, and the autopsy
showed that outrage had not been at-
tempted.

There Were at least a dozen wounds on
the young woman’s body, mostly about
the head, face and hands, and Dr. Johnson
is of the opinion that Miss Sullivan was
first struck about the face and hands and
knocked down, and that as she lay on the
ground the murderer crushed in her skull
with the car coupling pin.

County Physician Johnson said that,
having concluded the autopsy, he had turn-
ed the case over to Coroner Goodridge,
who would make no searching inveStiga-
tioii. The coroner has adjourned the in-
quest to give the police and detectives an
opportunity to Work on the case.

Great indignation is expressed here over
the brutal crime. The common council
chamber was crowded when a special
meeting was held to take action on‘ the

urder‘of Miss Sullivan. Many promi-
nent citizens were present, and they urged

that the city authorities should take

prompt steps to do everything in their
power to bring the murderer to justice.
The reward of $500 which was offered
by the common council for the arrest and
conviction of the murderer is hardly
thought an adequate amount to be an in-
centive to bright detectives fiawork on the
case. The city charter will not permit the
authorities to offer a reward exceeding
that amount, and an eflort is being made
by citizens to have the reward increased.
The body of the murdered young woman

‘is now at the home of her brother, Law-

rence Sullivan, and his sisters, on Park
avenue. Sullivan has engaged Undertaker
John S. Smith to prepare the body for
burial. A curious crowd of persons stood
about on the sidewalk in front of the home
of the Sullivans and watched the steady
stream of persons who passed in and out
of the house. Most of these persons were
intimate friends of the family, as well as
relatives and the pupils of the murdered
young woman. ,

What Does This Mean?

LONDON, March 7.—-The Times publish-
es a dispatch from Caracas, Venezuela,
saying that a private telegram was received
there yesterday from Curacao (the Dutch
West Indian island, situated about 75
miles from the Venezuelan coast), saying
that the authorities of that place have been
advised that a British squadron of five
ships will arrive there shortly. ,
