The sinner makes his own hereafter.
Remember that heaven is holy soul
In a holy place. Think how n sinner
and sin lover would feel In the full
blaze OF heavens glory. Here Is a
man who has been living In sin; all
the years he has been wallowing In
slime; he has been loving what God
hates and hating what God loves; ho
has no fellowship with Christ; he has
made no effort 60 keep company with
the heavenly Father. He dies. he
passes into the unseen, he comes up
before God and stands before the great
white throne. Around him are heav-
emily hosts. their souls as pure as their
spotless robes. their faces all radiant
with the light OF Gods own holiness.
Before him Is the Christ whom he has
rejected, the Saviour whom he has
neglected, the Master whose will he
has refused TO do. Down into his soul
flashes the searching light from the
holy and eternal God. IL lights up
every corner OF the heart. IL pierces
through every veil. II reveals the soul
through and through. In the pure
light OF heaven his own dcformity and
pnftness stand out In tenfold clear

Amidst the storms and tempcsts OF
the world. their Is perfect calm Ia
tho breasts OF those who not only do
the will Of God, but love TO do IL.
They are at peace with God by the

things work together for their good.
Nothing can rob them OF this peace.
Heavenly peace surmounts every OBJ

Some curious examples are given by
a writer of a well-known phenomenon
the fact that the events of life
time will sometimes pass in moment
through the mind OF "a person who is
ON the point OF death by drowning or
suffocation Speaking OF the death OF
Lord Ponsonby. who WAS hanged by
the mob in Paris In 1891. and cut
down before life was extinct, the
author says:

give auaccount OF his sensation on

not have been actually suspended in
mid-air more than IA few seconds. and
yet in that brief space OF time all the
events OF his past life passed through
his mind 1t is true that his life to
the date had not been very eventful

every past sensation was renewed

markable that he did not at the time

The remarkable mental power OF
calling up the past in moments Of
suspended animation have been
frequently mentioned. One was the
case OF Count Zichy. in the revolu-
ton OF 184S in Vienna. He was
caught by the savage mob. hung like
Lord Ponsonby In the middle OF the

the same fcarlessness at the moment.

Uncle Billy Green is one OF the
most interesting OF the historical char
acters OF Illinois. He was born in
Tennessee in 1912. in what was then
Overton county. He came 10 Illinois
In 1920 with his parents. who settled
near old Salem. He met Abraham
Lincoln soon after that awkward young
man landed from the fiatboat which
floated down the Sangamon 10 Salem
on the high water following the deep
snow" OF 1881 He was intimately AS
sociated with Lincoln ever aftcrward.
He says OF him: II thought the first
time | ever met Abe Lincoln that he
was the greatest man living. and am
thankful | lived long enough TO know
was right
He was Lincoln's partner in the gro
Gerry at Salem, and at night, when
customers were few. he held the gram
mar while Lincoln recited his lessons.
To his sympathetic ear Lincoln told
the story OF his love for sweet Ann
Rutlidge. He saw the happy pair
strolling through the woods about old
Salem. or boating on the river, or lin
gering long over the bucket OF water
which Lincoln drew from the we'll for
Ann. He offered what comfort he
could TO his friend when poor Ann
died, and Lincoln's great heart nearly
broke.
After Ann died. " says Uncle Billy,
ION stormy nights. when the wind
blew the rain against the roof. Abe
would set thar in the grocery, his ell
bows on his knees. his face in his
hands. an tears runnin' through his
fingers. / hated TO see him feel so bad.
an I'd say: Abe, don't cry;' an he'd
look up an say: Il can't help It, Bill;
the rains n fallin' on her"
Green saw his friend rise in great
ness and favor with the people until
he was elected President OF the Nation.
At Lincoln's first inaugural banquet
Green sat at the table on the Presi-
dents left. with the dignified Secretary
Seward on his right. Lincoln pre-
scented the two men TO each other say
ing. Secretary Seward, this Is Mr..
Green OF Illinois," Seward bowed
stilly when Lincoln exclaimed: 'Oh.

European countries have built large
numbers OF these boats. Italy has

$50; Russia, 1870; Germany. 100; and
Spain, 20. On this side OF the Allan

have ONE. Ii was recently launched.
and IL you read the papers you will
no doubt see accounts OF its trials for

bio In appearance, but not in any way
designed after that boat. Ii was built
by the Messrs. Herreshoff at Bristol,
X. I. This firm has built some very
fast launches and yachts. and can no
doubt prove equal TO the best foreign
builders In constructing torpedo boats

not always named. IL is the custom
OF foreign countries to give names
only TO their ''deep-sea" torpedo
boats. The smaller ones are simply
numbered.
know you are wondering why we
have only one torpedo boat and would
like TO ask me II we don't need more.
Perhaps we do. The United States
has longer sea-coast and more inn
portant seaports than any other coun-
try; but the United States Is deliberate
and thoughtful.
The present secretary OF the navy
has asked congress 10 appropriate
money for five torpedo boats In addi-
ton 10 the Cushing, and no doubt sue
cessful trials OF these will bring about
the immediate building OF many more.
