The Transfer of Stock Certificates.
AN IMPORTANT DECISION BY JUDGE HAGNER
IN THE EQUITY COURT.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION HAGNER
IN THE EQUITY COURT.
A case of great interest to dealers in stock GER
tificates has just been determined by Judge
Hagner, In the Equity Court. o. c. Green a
real estate and stock broker, purchased from the
National Bank of the Republic a certificate for
eighty-three shares of the capital stock of the
Farmers and Mechanics National Bank of
Georgetown. The certificate was in the name
OF A. III. Pickrell, and had been, by Pickrell, de-
livered to Thomas l.. Hume, and by Hume de-
posted with the National Bank OF the Republic
power TO sell certificate in event of default in
payment OF the note. The certificate contained
Il power of attorney to transfer and assign the
stock, represented by the same, which was
signed by Pickreii in blank. The note
given by Hume being in default the bank
power given by the same. Green made demand
upon the Farmers and Mechanics National
and for transfer of the stock to his name. This
the bank refused to do, and denied the title OF
counsel e bill ni' IN eq i Was there 'ap
filed by Green, seeking to enforce the
transfer of the shares of stock upon the
National Bank, and for the issuance of
a new certificate to him. The bank answer
denied Green's title to the certificate; his right
of transfer. and claimed Indebtedness of Pick
rell, i'll whose name the shares stood on the
books of the bank, to their corporation as surety
upon a certain note held by it. At the hearing
OF the case the court held that the delivery of
the certificate to Hume by Pickrell, with power
oI attorney 10 transfer anu assign, ana the de-
post of the same with the National Bank of
the Republic, by Hume. collateral for his
note, and the sale of the same by the bank upon
default OF the note, under the power conferred
by the same vested a good title in Green, free
from any equities that might or could exist, the
evidence showing him to be a bona fide inno-
cent purchaser, and ordered the Farmers and
Mechanics National bank to issue GER
tlficaSe or certificates to Green, upon presenta-
ton and surrender of the certificate owned by
him, and further ordered that the shares of
stock standing in the name of Pickrell on the
books OF the bank be transferred to the name of
Green. and that all dividends declared on said
stock subsequent to Green's purchase be paid to
MIN. From this decree the Farmers and Me-

Experience.

1t is a popular maxim that experience is
the best teacher. This is true-and false.
Did you ever know a moth that had been
singed by the flame fail to dash directly
to the flame the moment that it could use
its wings again? How large a proportion
of those who have learned by bitter per-
sonal experience what the vice of drunken
ness Tor any other vice) is, turns from that
sin on account of that experience? There
are, in fact, many teachers concerning evil
better than experience of evil. The warn
ings of a father, the gentle leadings of a
mother, the holy precepts of a Sunday
school teacher, if needed, are better Gar
than the lessons Of experience, in the di-
rection of those warnings; for these teach
through defending and preserving, while
experience teaches too often through loss
and destruction.
Wessington Springs herald. (Wessington Springs, Aurora County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1891, 1885-07-10

He is stronger than sin and Satan; for all
power dwells with him. Surely, when
you see omnipotence linked with right
eousness and mercy, you will delight your.
self in the Almighty.
Think of the Lords ~almightiness in the
matter of the keeping, preserving, defend
ing and perfecting of all His people. The
sheep of His pasture shall not perish; for
the roaring lion who would devour them.
None that trust in Him shall ever be
ashamed or confounded, world without
end.
H UPL1FTED FACE.
Now, let us turn with intense satisfac-
ton to the other expression used by Eli
phaz: "Thou shalt lift up thy face unto
God" What does it mean? Does it not
mean, first, joy in God? When a man
hangs his head down he is unhappy; it is
the attitude of misery; but oh, when our
thoughts of God are changed, and our rela.
tionship to God is different, we lift up our
faces and SUI our co%untenances in the light
OF Gods favor. The face of God in His
Amounted is toward the believer, and there
fore the believers face is toward the Most
High. He hath said: "Seek we my face"
and how can we seek His face but with our
own faces? "Look unto Ne, and be ye
saved, all the ends of the earth," is the
divine call; and the believer looks to God
with intense joy, knowing that in Him is
his salvation.
Does not our text indicate fearlessness?
Fear covers her face, and would fain hide
herself altogether, sven though to accom-.
nIiqh c0nC op In, ont fl, a vooJxc ,,,,,,% foJl -
her. That sacred bravery which the Holy
Spirit breathes into the child of God makes
him cry: "Abba, Father" and in the spirit
of adoption he lifts up his face unto God.
May it not also signify expectation: 1
will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from
whence cometh my help" my expecta.
ton is from him." says David. Oh, to lift
ones face toward God, looking for deliver
ance, safety and rest, and expecting both
grace and glory from his right hand!
Brethren, l am talking very simply Of
things we'll known to me, and yet I can not
convey to you a sense of the joy of a face
uplifted unto God. You must feel it for
yourselves, by lifting up your own faces.
Some of you poor creatures can not lift up
your faces unto God by reason of despoud-
ency; but we pray that you may yet do
SO. AS for you who are Gods own people,
and yet go through the world in honda ge,
charge you, cry unto the Lord to change
your condition, and fill you with His joy,
for then your faces will shine in the light
of His face.
When you delight in the Lord, nothing
can disturb the unbroken current of your
joy! The sublime serenity of the heavens
which arch above your head enters into
your W spirit when the Lord who made
the heavens dwells in your heart. Strive
after this sacred peace: delight in the AL.
mighty, and lift up your faces unto God.
