The death penalty, which for a
short time was abolished in Iowa,
has just. been restored in that State.
The fact goes far to show that the
time Las not yet come, if it ever will
come, when this extreme penalty OF
the law can be dispensed with. Elk
perience teaches that no other pun
ishment for the most atrocious OF
crimes, deliberate murder, satisfies
the popular sense of justice. and that
consequently no other fulflls one OF
the first objects OF criminal laws.

FoasAYEN By THE CHURCH.

Miss Mamie A. Dickey won the
sympathy of a stern court of law in
Middletown, Ohio, and a verdict
awarding her $4,000 damages as well.
But before the Baptist church of the
town her fate. was far different.
That body appointed the pastor and
his wife a committee to visit her and
listen to what she might say, and she
met them with a writer, confession,
as follows:
l have keenly felt the loss of
friends, character, a2d reputation,
and passed many sleepless nights in
prayer for mercy and forgiveness of
the sin committed under solemn and
persistent promise made by him of
honorable marriage.
Before him who is of purer eyes
than to behold evil, and cannot look
upon iniquity, / have confessed and
bewailed my great offence which ]
need not name, l feel that my pray
ers have been answered.
If in your wisdom it should be
deemed best for His cause that
should be disowned, and driven from
the church to which 1 have deemed
it an honor and privilege to belong
1 shall humbly submit, hoping this
will be the last act of humiliation
will be called upon to endure.
Hoping you and yours may new
er know the uttermost of sins de
priavity, nor mans persevering wick
edness, l remain your humble sister
and yet a prisoner of hope,
