LAST LECTURE BY SHAILER MATHEWS
CHRIST FORCED TO COMBAT POLITICAL BIGOTRY.
Men Today Are More Willing to Sacrifice Themselves for Welfare of Community.
Dean Shailer Mathews gave the last of his series of six teetures on "The Teachings of Jesus" Thursday afternoon. In discussing his subject, "The Teaching of Jesus as to the Individual Relation With the Community," Dr. Mathews said: "The idea of democracy with anything like universal suffrage was unthought of by the Roman emperors. Even the slightest agitations were immediately suppressed. For this reason many of Jesus' enemies tried to trick him into giving answers that could be considered of a political nature. However, Jesus was doubly careful and replied with some of the cleverest answers ever given. Finally his enemies gave up this method in despair and by rested on the grounds of disturbing the peace. When brought before Pilate he refused to say anything. Pilate for sententious Jesus has gone down through history as the type of cruelty prevailing over purity.
In the present age gentlemen do not think that they can be religious. Jesus was a gentleman and also well dressed, for at the time of his crucifixion four of the guards cast lots for one of his garments. Nowadays we would be religious if it was not so mute bother or akin to fanaticism. Jesus was no fanatic and had very little of a spectacular life till the last few days. Many make a show of their religion, but they are like the false prophets who are the men that get praised, and not like the true prophets who are the men that generally get killed. If people do not believe in a future world, then why are so many glad to die if there is not something better ahead!"
In closing his address Dean Mathews emphasized the heroic element in the life which Jesus plainly set before his followers. Jesus recognized the cost of the progress which he desires for every individual and the sacrifice required helps to make men today more willing to assume their full duty to the community.

An Unparalleled Record
49,491,000 TRAVEL; NOT A LIFE LOST
Harriman Lines Passenger Report for 1910 Shows Victory of Safety Devices.
ACCIDENTS OUT TO TRIBE
Union Pacific Cruises Drop to One-Eighth Ticket Scaling To Reduced.
The report, containing this data, just has been compiled in the offices of Julius Kruitschmidt, director of maintenance and operation on the system, including the Southern Pacific and Union-Pacific railroads, a total of 17,000 miles.
The Kawaiman railway lines carried 10 per cent of the estimated 1210 passenger traffic of the United States, or 49,411,000 people, without fatal accident so many of the number could be accounted for. The number of safety devices and is believed to have no parallel in the railroad world.
The cover number or passengers carried on a one mile basis was 0,000,000. The number of the company numbers for 40 have not yet been compiled by the government; but in 1909 the interstate commercia commission reported the number of passengers carried as 20,000,000,000. The figures for 1010 will not exceed a billion more, it is said.
The results on the Harriman lines are ascribed to a campaign waged by the management for years to reduce accidents. The Harriman system now has more miles of automatic block signal protection than any other system in the world. Mr. Kluckschmitt himself has directed special attention to the accident problem and began several years ago to bring about a reduction by giving complete publicity to all forms of accidents and their investigation, which, it is believed, spurred both officers and employees to greater efforts to safeguard lives intrusted to their hearts.
No Like Record. Known.
Many other railroads have gone through a year without a fathity to any of its passengers, but it is said that no system has made this record for such a large total of passengers.
Chicago Tribune, February 12th.
Pacific
This achievement is described as unparalleled in railwaying, and it is attributed to the installation of safety devices—chiefly, if not wholly.
Not a Single Fatal Accident.
Not a single fatal accident.
The HAMMINGSINes carried 10 per cent of the country's estimated passenger traffic for 1910. Not a single fatal accident occurred to a passenger anywhere on the system.
If a small line gets through a year without a fatal accident the result may itself be considered accidental. A vast system carrying millions of passengers owes safety to improvements, care and efficiency.
