Mr. Liu Chin
劉晋字三
(Hsisan C. Liu)
Mr. Hsisar: C. Liu, secretary and engineer-in-charge of the Technical Department of the Szechuan-Hankow Railway, and Deputy of the Yangtze River Commission in Hankow, is a native of Wusih, born in Shanghai in 1885. He received the early part of his education in the Anglo-Chinese ​College at Shanghai, and later joined the Shanbaikwan Railway College in North China as a government student, and graduated from that college in 1900. Just then the Boxer trouble arose which made his position on the Tientsin-Shanhaikwan Railway insecure. Thereupon Mr. Liu joined the Weihaiwei Regiment under British Officers as Cadet and Interpreter. Upon the reduction of troops in the fall of 1902, Mr. Liu left the Regiment with the rank of Military Sergeant. On account of his military training under British Officers, he was engaged in 1903 by the tingfu University as Military Drill Instructor, which he later resigned to be Assistant Police Superintendent under Captain William W. Quincey in the organization of a modern police force composed of Chinese and Sikhs in the Commercial Port of Tsinanfu, Shantung Province. In recognition of his meritorious services rendered while in Tsinanfu, he was awarded the Commission of Major and was transferred to Tientsin as Aide-de-Camp to the Viceroy of Chihli, H. E. Yang Shih-hsiang. Liu also had a title as sub-prefect which was awarded him by the Imperial Manchu government for services rendered in rescuing lives and property from merchant ships off the Shantung Coast. In 1908 Mr. Liu was engineer in charge of the Lotung Railway, First Section, and acting locomotive engineer of the Lunghai Railway. Then the Siems-Carey Canal and Railway Co. of America projected two railways in the interior of China, one from Hankow to Chengtu in Szechuan Province and the other from Chuchow, Hunan, to Chinchow in Kwangtung Province in South China. On these projected lines preliminary work began, and Mr. Liu soon became the surveying engineer of the Chow-chikow-Hsiangyang section of the Hankow-Chengtu line, called Chow-Hsiang Railway. No sooner had the work started than uns'iccessful negotiations with the Chinese government made the Siems-Carey plans fall through, and 1917 found Mr. Liu in Hankow as Secretary of the Szechuan-Hankow Railway, which position he still holds. Aside from his railway work, Mr. Liu is also Councillor to General Wu Pei-fu. He is in possession of a British War Medal awarded him by the British government in 1900. With the Association of Chinese and American Engineers, he is corresponding secretary in Hankow. In the recently proposed Door-of-Hope for helpless Chinese girls, in Hankow, he was elected honorary secretary. In addition he is a member of the now board of managers of the Hankow Y. M. C. A. When Lenox Simpson started the Far Eastern Times in Peking in 1923 Mr. Liu was appointed agent and correspondent of the Times in Hankow.

Liu En-ke
到恩格字鯉門
Mr. Liu En-ke was born at Liaoyang, Fengtien, in 1866. He studied law at the Law School in his native province. After having spent several years in that school, he went to Japan for a higher legal education. Upon his return to China, he travelled extensively in the Yangtse Valley to acquire knowledge of the local conditions in China. He travelled to Yunnan in quest of knowledge where he was given an official appointment. He spent three years as an official in that province. Then he adopted the profession of teaching and taught law in several law schools throughout the country. Upon the outbreak of the first revolution, Mr. Liu returned to Fengtien, and threw his weight against the monarchy. In 1912, when the Republic was established, he was appointed sectional chief of the Law Bureau in Fengtien. In 1913 he was elected a member of the House of Representatives of the National Parliament. He was a strong member of the Kuo Min Tang and was made a member of the committee to draft a permanent constitution for China. In 1914 when the second revolution ​was launched, he took sides with the South against the existing government. Eight members of Parliament who showed hostility toward the government were arrested, and he was one of the eight. Later he was released, and kept at his own home in close watch by the authorities. After the death of Yuan Shih-kai Mr. Liu becamie a Secretary of the Military Governor of Fengtien, General Chang Tso-lin. In September 1917 the so-called "Tuchun's Parliament" was called and Mr. Lin was sent by General Chang as Fengtien member. It was formally convoked in January 1918 and Mr. Liu was elected Vice-Speaker. In December 1918 he was appointed a member of the Northern Delegation to the Internal Peace Conference. In June 1918 Mr. Liu was conferred the Second Class Tashou Chiaho and in October 1919 the First Class Tashou Chiaho. The Tuchun's Parliament was dissolved in 1920 after the downfall of the Sufu Club. In October 1921 he was appointed Prefect of the Hsin-Ho Circuit of the Special Area of Chiaho. The old Parliament was reconovoked by President Li Yuan-hung in June 1922. Mr. Liu is still acting as a member of it.
# Zinzendorff and Other Poems/"Then whose shall those things be that thou hast provided?"

"Then whose shall those things be that thou hast provided?"
Luke xii, 20.
Thou hast a fair domain,
 Most proud and princely halls,
And richly thro' the crystal pane,
Thro' bowering branches fresh with rain,
 The golden sunbeam falls,
Thick vine-leaves o'er thy grotto meet
 In soft and fragrant gloom,
But who shall fill that favorite seat
 When thou art in thy tomb?
The wealth of every age
 Thou hast center'd here,
The ancient tome, the classic page,
The wit, the poet, and the sage,
 All at thy nod appear;
But studious head and anxious breast
 To palsied Death must yield;
Whose eye shall on those volumes rest
 When thine in dust is seal'd?
Thou lov'st the burnish'd gold,
 The silver from the mine,
The diamond glittering bright and cold,
And hoards, perchance, of gems untold,
 Do in thy coffers shine;
But when affection's eye shall weep
 Its few, brief tears for thee,
When thou in thy dark grave dost sleep
 Whose shall these treasures be?
Thy children's? Bid some few short years
 Fulfill their hasting claims,
Where are they? Ask the mourner's tears,
A stanger in their place appears,
 Forgotten are their names,
Their memory like the snow shall melt
 From the green hillock's head,
And where they once in plenty dwelt,
 Their offspring ask for bread.
But if thy love to God sincere
 By love to Man be shown,
By pity's deed, contrition's tear,
Faith in a Saviour's merits dear,
 Distrustful of thine own;
If thou hast in thy casket laid
 Such treasures rich and free,
Beyond dread Death's oblivious shade,
 Look! they shall go with thee.
# Zinzendorff and Other Poems/"They said she was alone"

"THEY SAID SHE WAS ALONE."
They said she was alone,—and that she stood
Amid the corpses of her three fair babes,
And by his side who to her heart had been
Lover and comforter for many a year,
And that he too was dead. Amaz'd I look'd
To see if it were so,—and on his lip
There was no breath, and in his eye no light.
—They said she was alone. And many wept
In company with her. For he had fallen
Who was their guide to everlasting life,
Their oracle in doubt, the friend who pour'd.
The interceding prayer when death was nigh,
Or the tomb open'd, for its "dust to dust."
—They said she was alone. But when I turn'd
To look upon her, in her breast there lay
A tender blossom of mortality
New-born and beautiful. Methought the babe
Did bear the features of its buried sire,
And at the moaning of its timid voice,
Or its appealing smile, the lonely heart
Rose in its brokenness, and took the joy
That pays a mother's care. And so I thank'd
The Father of our Mercies, who doth watch
Our frames so tenderly, and prop the strength
Of those he smiteth, and infuse the drops
Of holy healing in the cup of grief,
That none may sink beneath his keen rebuke,
But walk in patience and in chastened hope
On to the land which hath no need that pain
Should be the teacher of its sinless host.
# Zinzendorff and Other Poems/"She is not dead, but sleepeth"

"SHE IS NOT DEAD, BUT SLEEPETH."
Not dead? A marble seal is prest,
 Where her bright glance did part,
A weight is on the pulseless breast,
 And ice around the heart;
No more she wakes with greeting smile,
 Gay voice, and buoyant tread,
But yet ye calmly say the while,
 She sleeps, she is not dead.
"Mourn'st thou for clay alone?" Behold
 A voice from Heaven replied,
"Then be thine anguish uncontrol'd,
 Thy tears a heathen tide;
Thine idol was that vestment fair
 Which wraps the spirit free,
Earth, air and water claim their share,
 Say! which shall comfort thee?
But the strong mind whose heaven-born thought
 No earthly chain could bind,
The holy heart divinely fraught
 With love to all mankind,
The humble soul whose early trust
 Was with its God on high,
These were thy Sister, who in dust
 May sleep, but cannot die."
# Zinzendorff and Other Poems/"The Dead praise not the Lord"

"THE DEAD PRAISE NOT THE LORD." David.
Deep dwellers in those cells profound
 Where dreamless slumbers reign,
No lingering sigh, nor grateful sound
 Bursts from your drear domain.
But ye, upon whose unseal'd eye
 Creation's glory breaks,
When Morning opes the purple sky,
 Or Eve her sceptre takes,
Ye to whose ear a thrilling strain
 Of harmony doth rise,
From warbling grove and wind-swept main
 While Echo's voice replies,
Whose buoyant footsteps wander o'er
 Gay Summer's blooming fields,
Whose free hands pluck the golden store
 That lavish Autumn yields,
Oh! praise the Author of your breath,
 The Giver of your joy,
Until the icy hand of death
 Time's fragile harp destroy—
Till rising where immortal lyres
 Shall to your hand be given,
Ye find that ye on earth have learn'd
 The melody of Heaven.
# Zinzendorff and Other Poems/"This is not your rest"

"THIS IS NOT YOUR REST."
When Heaven's unerring pencil writes, on every pilgrim's breast,
Its passport to Time's changeful shore, "lo, this is not your rest,"
Why build ye towers, ye fleeting ones? why bowers of fragrance rear!
As if the self-deceiving soul might find its Eden here.
In vain! In vain! wild storms will rise and o'er your fabrics sweep,
Yet when loud thunders wake the wave, and deep replies to deep,
When in your path, Hope's broken prison, doth shed its parting ray,
Spring up and fix your tearful eye on undeclining day.
If like an ice-bolt to the heart, frail Friendship's altered eye
Admits these rosy wreaths are dead, it promis'd could not die,
Lift, lift to an Eternal Friend, the agonizing prayer,
The souls that put their trust in Him, shall never know despair.
If Fancy, she who bids young Thought, its freshest incense bring,
By stern reality rebuk'd, should fold her stricken wing,
There is a brighter, broader realm than she hath yet reveal'd,
From flesh-girt man's exploring eye, and anxious ear conceal'd.
Earth is Death's palace: to his court he summons great and small,
The crown'd, the homeless and the slave, are but his minions all;
We turn us shrinking from the truth, the close pursuit we fly,
But faultering on the grave's dark brink, do lay us down and die.
# Zinzendorff and Other Poems/"Redeeming the Time"

"REDEEMING THE TIME."
Why break the limits of permitted thought
To revel in Elysium? thou who bear'st
Still the stern yoke of this unresting life,
Its toils, its hazards, and its fears of change?
Why hang thy frost-work wreath on Fancy's brow,
When labor warns thee to thy daily task,
And Faith doth bid thee gird thyself to run
Thy thorny journey to the gate of Heaven?
Up, 'tis no dreaming-time! awake! awake!
For He who sits on the high Judge's seat,
Doth in his record note each wasted hour,
Each idle word. Take heed, thy shrinking soul
Find not their weight too heavy, when it stands
At that dread bar, from whence is no appeal.
Lo, while ye trifle, the light sand steals on
Leaving the hour-glass empty, and thy life
Glideth away,—stamp wisdom on its hours.
# Zinzendorff and Other Poems/"The Lord is in his holy temple;—let all the Earth keep silence before him"

"The Lord is in his holy temple;—let all the Earth keep silence before him."
The Lord is on his holy throne,
He sits in kingly state;
Let those who for his favor seek,
In humble silence wait.
Your sorrows to his eye are known,
Your secret motives clear;
It needeth not the pomp of words,
To pour them on his ear.
Doth Death thy bosom's cell invade?
Yield up thy flower of grass;
Swells the world's wrathful billow high?
Bow down, and let it pass.
Press not thy purpose on thy God,
Urge not thine erring will,
Nor dictate to the Eternal mind,
Nor doubt thy Maker's skill.
True Prayer is not the noisy sound
That clamorous lips repeat,
But the deep silence of a soul
That clasps Jehovah's feet.
# Zinzendorff and Other Poems/"The Son of Man, is Lord of the Sabbath"

"The Son of Man, is Lord of the Sabbath.”—Matthew xii, 8.
Behold, the day of rest. The purple morn
As if baptiz'd in purer light, doth spread
Its banner forth. Toil wears a cheerful smile,
And Piety, in silent prayer reclines,
Pondering the page inspir'd.
 There was a Seer
Who 'neath Beersheba's groves, in ancient days
Dwelt as a prince. Once, toward Moriah's mount,
To do a strange and fearful sacrifice,
He journey'd with his son. Just where its base
Sprang steeply from the valley's breast, he paus'd,
And to his servants spake,—"Abide ye here,
While we ascend and worship." Thus our souls
Would charge the busy cares that thro' the week
Held them in bondage,—"Enter not the bound
Of consecration; ye are of the earth,
Here rest, till we return."
 Thou! who didst rise
O'er the seal'd sepulchre, the Roman guard
Rigorous and vigilant, so grant us grace
To rise, on this thy day. And when we come
Down from the mount of blessing, to our paths
Of daily care and duty, should we ask
Imperative, our happiness from Earth,
Send us that message which the angels spake
To those who mournful search'd thy vacant tomb,
"Not here, but risen."
So give us power to walk
Even till another Sabbath, with a heart
Full of sublime remembrances, a brow
Bearing them brightly forth, like him who beam'd
On Sinai's cliff, the language of the skies.
# Zinzendorff and Other Poems/"There go the Ships"

"THERE GO THE SHIPS."
White-rob'd wanderers of the deep,
 Whither speeds your trackless way?
Toward some islet's rocky steep,
 Crowded mart, or swelling bay?
Polar ice, or tropic clime?
 Zone where lingering mystery slept?
Region whence oblivious time
 Hath the mouldering empire swept?
Bear'st thou in thy wind-tost car
 Wealth to purchase wealth again?
Or the elements of war
 Thundering o'er the hostile main?
Hid'st thou in thy hollow breast
 Hearts in manly vigor warm?
Courage with his dauntless crest?
 Venturous Beauty's fragile form?
Heed'st thou on thy stately course
 All the dangers of the wave?
Stretching reefs, or breakers hoarse,
 Wrecks that strew the watery grave?
Chambers where the mighty sleep
 Powerless as the infant dead,
While the unfathomable deep
 O'er them draws its curtain dread.
Gleaming pearls their pillow light,
 Coral boss'd with ruby gem,
Builds their mausoleum bright;
 What is Ocean's wealth to them?
Shouldst thou when the tempest's wrath
 Mingles cloud and surging sea,
Plunge that same sepulchral path
 What were all Earth's gold to thee?
Prayer's soft breath thy sails can fill,
 Guide the prosperous on thy way,
Though, perchance, the pilot's skill
 Yield to peril and dismay,
Though the needle's baffled care
 Point not to its destin'd pole,
Still the God who heareth prayer
 Rules the Sea, and saves the soul.
# Zinzendorff and Other Poems/"Thy mercies are new every morning and fresh every moment"

"Thy mercies are new every morning and fresh every moment."—David.
Oh Thou, who bounteous to their need,
Dost all earth's thronging pilgrims feed,
Dost bid for them in every clime,
The pregnant harvest know its time,
The flocks in verdant pastures dwell,
The corn aspire, the olive swell,
Fain would we bless that sleepless Eye
That doth our hourly wants descry.
—Thou pour'st us from the nested grove,
The minstrel-melody of love,
Thou giv'st us of the fruitage fair
That summer's ardent suns prepare,
Of honey from the rock that flows,
And of the perfume of the rose,
And of the breeze, whose balm repairs
The sickening waste of toils and cares.
—And tho', perchance, the ingrate knee
Bends not in praise, or prayer to thee,
Tho' Sin that stole with traitor-sway
Even Peter's loyalty away,
May strongly weave its seven-fold snare,
And bring dejection and despair;
Yet not the morn with cheering eye
More duly lights the expecting sky,
Nor surer speeds on pinion light
Each measur'd moment's trackless flight,
Than comes thy mercy's kind embrace
To feeble man's forgetful race.
# Wickliffe v. Owings

United States Supreme Court
58 U.S. 47
Wickliffe v. Owings
THIS was an appeal from the circuit court of the United States for the district of Kentucky, sitting as a court of equity.
It was a bill filed by Wickliffe, under a statute of Kentucky, to quiet the title to sundry tracts of land of which the complainant was in possession, and to which he alleged that he had the legal title. Owings, it was averred, had removed to Texas, and become a citizen of that State; but had visited Kentucky, and set up a claim to the lands, threatening to institute suits against the complainant.
Owings, in his answer, denied the jurisdiction of the court, upon the ground that he was not a citizen of Texas; denied that the complainant had any title to the land, or, that if he had one, asserted that it was obtained by fraud; and alleged, that prior to the institution of this suit, he, himself, had filed a bill against Wickliffe, in the Bath circuit court of Kentucky, and relied on the priority of his bill in bar of Wickliffe's suit.
The district judge, who tried the cause in the court below, dismissed the bill, from which decree Wickliffe appealed to this court.
It was argued for the appellant by Mr. Preston, and a brief was also filed upon the same side by Mr. Charles A. Wickliffe. No counsel appeared for the appellee.
The arguments consisted chiefly in examinations of the testimony respecting the citizenship of Owings, in Texas, and of the various muniments of the title of Wickliffe to the lands; and also of a comparison of the dates of the institution of the respective suits in the state court and in the circuit court of the United States. As these involved no general principles of law, it is unnecessary to introduce them into the report of the case.
Mr. Justice CAMPBELL delivered the opinion of the court.
