REL At REST.
Louis Rtel Executed for High Treason,


AT Regina, on last Monday, the 10Th, |,
Louis "David" Riel was executed for high
treason. His concluding hours were pass.
ed in the so'e company OF his spiritual ad |
wiser. During the early part of the night,
kiel laid down and appeared to sleep
sonn"iy, awaking at an early hour and
again rcsu,ning his devotions He walked
toward the executioner, repeating his
prayers to the last moment, the final words
escaping him being "Merci Jesu." He died
without struggle. Not to exceed twenty
persons were permitted within the con.
fines Of the barracks to witness the cxecu.
ton, and it certainly was performed with
decorum and dispatch. His body was
taken in charge bv the Coroner and the
verdict usual to all State executions rem.
dered. Some extraordinary precautions
against the possible escape of Ricl or the
intrusion into the barracks by unauthorized
persons, was observed. At mile from
the barracks the mounted patrol challenged
all persons and compelled them to disclose
written passes. Two other lines of guards
were stationed at points nearer the pos,
where the same precautions were again oi,
served. No one was permitted to enter
the guard.rooms until ST., o'clock. The
scene presented there was that of Riel on
the scatfold, with Pere Andre and Father
McWilliams with him celebrating mass,
with Ricl on his bended knees, wearing a
loose woolen surtout, gray trousers and
woolen shirt. On his feet were moccasins,
the only feature of his dress that partook
Of the Indian that was in him. He re-
ceived the notice to proceed to the scaffold
in the same composed manner shown the
preceding night on receiving the warning
of his fate. His face was full of color
and he appeared to have complete self.
possession, responding to the service in
clear to,e. The prisoner decided only
moment before starting for the scaffold not
to make a speech. This was owing to the
earnest solicitation Of both the priests at.
tending him. He displayed an inclination
at the last moment to make an address.
but Pere Andre reminded him of his prom
Use, and he then arose and took the last
sacrament. There was barely CULVER as
the drop fell, and his death was ~onounced
an easy one. During the early hours of
the morning he gathered up all the papers
which covered his desk, embodying the
supposed visions he had seen and his prop.
critics, and asked the privileges from an
officer Of the guard to destroy them. This
was allowed, and he carried them to the
open stove and threw them in, watching
until the flames devoured them. He then
returned to his cell and his devotions.
1t would be difficult at this time to gauge
the. public feeling clearly in the Northwest
as to Riel. The expressed views are al.
most entirely unfavorable to him, and the
half:breeds are unusually silent upon the
subject. The majority of the resident pop
lation believed that he deserved death, and
this is undoubtedly the case in Manitoba.

Omciates at Dwight Place Church
Very Favorable Impressions.

| II
Very Favorable Impressions.
Rev. J. E. Twitchell, of East Boston,
| preached at Dwight Place Congregational
| church yesterday. Much interest was felt to
| hear and see him by the Dwight Place
people, he being the pastor to whom the
church has extended a call. His sermons
and appearance added to the very favorable
impressions regarding him. His morning
text was from 1 John, iv, and 16, "God
is Love-" The basis of our religion is belief
in a personal God. There is no starting
point other than this. According to revela-
ton and reason God is person deeply con-
cerned in the highest good of his children.
This is the golden truth crystallized by the
apostle but more than this is true, for we
discover the very essence of God himself to
| be love- The summit of Gods affection for
| the world is fair enough and history is accu-
| rate enough to warrant the text. God does
| not love because of any external conditions
| OF relations, but because of his own divine
/ fullness. The things that are were made by
| love and through these existences we see
| and feel Gods love. God loves by reason of
| the solid necessity of his nature. All human
| loves are e1clteO Dy IneSe presenceS anO
| and attractions of these presences. which are
about u.s. but God loves alone and would love
| on if he we're ever alone. In this lies
| our hope. In the last analysis
| human hearts must be played upon before
| they respond. We love because we see some
| thing worthy of affection. God loves us that
| we may love him; he put in man all his
capacities and powers the beauty of which it
| is the duty of love to bring out. God put
an angel into every man and love will work
| on until that angel comes out of us. The
cause and foundation of beauty is the love
of God. When we rise to the height of
knowing the nature of the love of Christ, we
know what Christian liberty is. The reason why
some people never love God is because they
never get vision of God. Conversion never
comes but by vision of him There is
| something more grand and royal than duty.
/ 1t is hard to serve Christ because we ought
| to do SO, but to serve him because we love
| him is easy. True religion is loyalty to God
| and its foundation principle is love. The
| vision of God kindles love for him and con-
strains men to his service. No man can him
| der God from loving him. Though he may
| trample love under his feet, still will God
| reach out to him in the most tender and deep
| restoring doctrine ever preached. The living
consciousness of Gods love is the most pow
| erful of all the agencies for reform. The
| sum of human sin is forgetfulness of God, to
| whom we are under great obligation. That
| "God is Love" should inspire us with trust
| in him and give us that faith which is the
summit of Christian attainment. "AIl things
| work together for good to them that love
| God"
