the age OF 20, and in a few months after united
with the Methodist church and remained a
steadfast member of the church of his vows to
the time of his death, period of 10 years.
He was possessed of gifts that qualified him
for usefulnes, and the church in 1922 clothed him
wit hauthoIity to teach and preach, which he did
with acceptabiity and usefulness till he had
passed his Goth year. His last sermon was
preached in Harveysburgh, Ohio. and was well
received and bore rich fruit. His hoar head
was a crown of righteousness. he bore fruit in
| old age to bless man and honor God.

walked together in happy welded life. In 1885

and eyangelistic work. in which he was 6bund

While America is not the lawless
and bloodthirsty nation that some
English writer's have recently pic>
tured it, the truth is not fattering
and affords ample food for medita-
ton. Last year there were over
5000 murders IN the United States.
In nearly every State the penalty
fixed for murder in the first degree
is death, yet there were but l24
executions in 1891. This is even less
noteworthy than the fact that 1876
persons were lynched in violation
of law and in disgrace OF our civil.
zation- Delay in the application of
justice is largely responsible for
this state of affairs. Criminals are
coming to think, basing their COM
olusions upon such figures as are
given, that the chances of escape
from punishment for wrong doing
are greater than are those of being
punished. Murders are reported as
less frequent in communities where
Judge Lynch is firmly established,
than where the more advanced ideas
of civilization hold sway. Such
laws should be made as can be en-
forced, while justice should be
quick and sure. The facts quoted
go to show that those who are en-
trusted with carrying out existing
laws are to degree responsible for
their more frequent and more fla
grant violation.

LIVING IN THE PAST.

The habit OF retrospection is apt
to grow with age, and, like other
habits, it needs to be guarded against.
If men keep abreast with the duties
of lite, they will find little time left
for looking backward, except as such
views give strength for present or
coming duties and trials. This use
of the past is proper, as it is neces-
sary to fit men for right living now.
Equally proper is a wise forecast of
the future to judge better the true
way oflife. But after all, the living
must be always now. Everyone has
a work to do in the world, and it is
a continuous work, until, as in rare
cases, the teebleness of old age
makes merely waiting the final sum
mons all that is possible. Except
by neglecting this life work, there is
not time to stop and live over again
what has passed, or to make roses
colored pictures of what is yet to
come. Whether the past be one of
great failures or great successes, all
that remains of it is what has been
incorporated in character, and that
is all that we have to do with now.
