LORENZO DOW.

In the year 1919 was one of the con-
grcgation assembled in the woods back OF
Rising Sun, anxiously awaiting the arrival
Of Lorenzo Dow. Time PASSED away, we
had all become impatient when in the dis
lance we saw him approaching at a rapid
rate through the trees on hi. pacing pony.
He rode up to the log on which i was sit
ting. threw the reins over the neck of his
pony and stepped upon the log, took of
his hat, his hair parted in the middle of bis
head and flowing on either side to his
shoulders, his beard resting on his breast.
In minute at the top of his voice he said:
Behold / come quickly and my reward
is with me- NV subject is repentance
We sing, while the lamp holds out to
burn the vilest sinner may return" That
idea has done much harm and shonld be
received with many grains Of allowance
There are cases where it would be easier ioi
a camel to go through the eye of necll,
than for man to repent unto salvation
Let me illustrate: DO you suppose that
the man among you who went ont last fall
to kill his deer and bear for winter meat
and instead killed his neighbours hogs,
sailed them down and is now living on the
meat, can repent while it is unpaid for? ]
tell you nay. Except he restores just com
pensation his attempt at repentance will b,
the basest hypocracy. Except We repent
truly yeshall all likewise perish" Dowr
he stepped. mounted his pony, and in a
few minutes was moving through the WOO Is
at rapid pace to meet another appoint
ment.

ted SO much to the establishment of good
order, quiet, intelligence, morality and re-
ligion among the first settlers. and without
intending to give offence to others. / ven
tuie the remark, that early Indiana, nay,
more, Indiana to-day, owes more to the
itinerant Methodist preachers than all 9TH
er denominations combined Their sys-
tenn carried their chuches into every settle
ment, and where two or three were gather
ed together, there was Methodist preach
er or cxhortcr in their midst. They were
at the bedside of the dying man on their
knees, and at the grave their voices We're
heard in songs of praise. Other denomi-
nations waited for the people to come up
from the wilderness to worship, while the
itinerant Methodist preacher mounted his
horse, aud sought out their cabins in the
woods, held his meetings there. carrying
the Gospel, and leaving the Bible aud
Hymn Book as he went. The woods were
not settled without much sickness, many
deaths and great suffering among the PEG
pie. OF course We were too sparsely set
tied, and our towns too small, to be the
subjects of such awful epidemcs as visited
New Orleans in the year 1858, the last
time the yellow fever made its appearance
in that devoted city; when the waters OF
the Ohio and Mississippi had almost for
saken their channels, when at intervals on
y there might be seen solitary steamer,
loaded to the guards, with passengers lcav-
ing the city, and slowly vending her way
up the crooked channels ofthe rivers, leav-
ing thousands OF citizens behind to perish;
when the hum Of business ceased, and moth
ing was heard in the streets but the sound
of the lonely hearse slowly and solemnly
bearing to the grave the silent dead; when
the levees were deserted and Commerce
had spread her sails for happier ports; and
when Nations sympathy mingled with
her cries of woe. While we had none OF
these awful visitations, there were few fam
lilies that were not laid on a bed of sickness
and death in some member. Connersville
was so sickly that was advised by my
fliends to leave it and fly for my life. In,
dianapolis was no better, indeed its rcpu-
tation was still worse, and the whole coun-
try was in the hands of physicians and
nurses.

sTsTE ORGANIZATION AND DIVISION or PAR
TIES
] came 90 Indiana in the spring of 1877
The political affairs Of the State were then
in the hands OF three parties. or rather one
party with three diyisions--the Noble
Jennings and Hendricks divisions---whicl
were al fully represented in the conven
ton that formed tho constitution of 1916
Gcn.. James Noble and Jonathan Jenning,
wefe delegates. Jennings was elected
President ard William Hendricks Secreta
~ of the convention. 1t was evident tc
these leaders that personal political con-
fiicts must arise between them unless the
proper arrangement were made to avoid
them. Itwas then agreed between them
to aid each other in making Noble United
States Senator, Jennings Governor, and
Hendricks Congressman. An apportion-
ment was male in the Constitution 10 suit
all parties. 1t was provided. at the close
Of Sectioa 20 of Article 5. Nor shall any
member Of either branch Of the General As.
sembly, during the term of Office for which
he is elected, be eligible to any office the
appointment OF which ia vested in the Gen
eral Assembly. Provided. that nothing
In this Constitution shall be so construed
TO prevent any member of the first session
of the General Assembly from accepting
any Office that is created by this Constitu-
ton. or the Constitution of the United
States" There were three Judges to be
appointed for the Supreme Court. Each
subdivision was entitled to one. Gen.
Noble selected Jesse l.. Holman, living on
the beautiful heights Of the Ohio river. a
bove Aurora, COOL lawyer and one of the
most Just and conscientious men | ever
knew. Gen. Jennings selected John
johnson, fine lawyer and an excellent
man. He lived but short time, and after
his death, in the winter Of 1928, | named
the county of Johnson for him in the Leg
islature, and not for Col. Richard NJ. John.

The Constitution was ratified. the cleo
ton held, ani the Legislature met Jona-
than Jennings, was elected Governor; Will
liam Hendricks to Congress. General Noble
and Waller Taylor to the Senate of the
United States: Jesse L. Holman, John
johnson and James Scott, Supreme Judg-
es. Judge johnson lived but short time
and Isaac Blackboard of Vincennes. young
lawyer from New Jersey. q graduate OF
Princeton, was appointed to the vacancy.
Like Judge Story, he looked too young for
that high judicial station, but to say the
least, he came fully up to the expectations
of his friends, as his decisions and reports
conclusively show. He is now one OF the
Judges OF the United States Court OF
Claims sitting at Washington The prin-
cipal characteristic of the mind of Judge
Blackford is caution. He never guesses.-
He is enlphatically "took judge" Dec
lamation with him is nothing, precedent
and good authority, everything.
