Rapping these delegates and declar ing he is satisfied they de not represent the sentiment of the laboring people of Atlanta. Mr. Wallace said: “This tour of tlte Jail and the ex pressions of these prisoners is conclu sive evidence that our jails and peni tentiaries are being filled by persons who do not read the Bible, who are not under its influence, and who are al ways ready to denounce it.

"I talked with 33 white prisoners in the jail, and all but two frankly admit ted they were not readers of the Bible nor church attendants. These two ex ceptions said they itad read the Bible a little at intervals. They all said they wished they ha<J read the Bible, believ ing it would have kept them from th-i> prison cell. "A visit to out Jails will demonstrate to the satisfaction of any one that their inmates do not come from the Sunday schools and do not represent Bible t eaders. "I am shocked, as every Christian should be, to know any man rep resenting the laboring classes should publicly denounce the Bible. Christ himself was a common laborer, and it is He who lias done more for the labor ing classes of the world than any other agency. These labor delegates, who so outrageously condemned the Bible, 1 know, do not represent the sentiment of labor in Atlanta. Their words were nothing more than an outrage, and these men should be repudiated by ev ery honest, God-fearing laboring man.” WESTERN FRAT MEN COMING TO ATLANTA MEETING IN SPECIAL A Sigma Nu special train will leave Chicago Saturday night for the grand I chapter meeting which is to be held in Atlanta for three days, beginning Decem- I ber 30.
