LOW 70 OBSERVE LENT.

Speaking of the orthodox observance
OF Lent the Rev. b. Il. Tyler says:
lent ought to be kept in such man
ner as viii rebound to the honor and
oIorifcation Of Jesus Christ. Is God
pleased with our absence from the
theater for the space of forty days
during the year? Is it for the honor
of His Son that for this space of time
we decline to engage in the dance?
PROFOUND to yourself in all seriousness
the question: Am ] keeping this time
sacred i'm a manner that viii result in
the greatest glory to God; in the
greatest honor to His Son; in the larg-
est possible good to my fellow men,
and in the greatest moral and spirit
ual progress to myselfY The greatest
honor that men can render to Jesus
is to attempt in all earnestness and per-
sistence to live such life as the Son
Of Man lived when He soiourned in
Palestine He seemed to enjoy human
society, His fore-runner, John the
Baptist, was abstemious in his personal
habits. Not SO with Jesus of Nazareth.
He was called by His enemies a glut-
ton, because He ate and drank as other
men eat and drink. Because He assO-
ciated with bad people always, how
ever. to do them good, He was spoken
of as the friend Of publicans and sim
ners.' Jesus dined with the rich. He
went about doing good The best
possible manner in which to spend
Lent is by doing good to men as we
have the opportunity"

Az OUTRAGEOUS VERDICT

The acquittal Of Milliken, on the
ground that he was too drunk to know
what he was about. shows that itries
still admit drunkenness as an excuse
for avoiding the penalty Of the law. 1t
also shows that Worth Carolina + not
the only place where there is an oc-
casional miscarriage Of justice.
The people Of North Carolina Lave
keenly sympathized with Judge Phil
lips and his family in the unpleasant
ordeal The Judge, with the tortibude
of an old Roman conscious of recti-
tude and sensitive Of reputation,
thought it his duty to prosecute MILF
ken The result of the trial leaves no
stain upon the name that has been an
hon0red one in north Carolina gor
generations. 1T is an outrageous YER
dict, and opens the way for scoundrels
to commit any species of rascality, and,
when thwarted and discovered, to es-
cape on the ground Of drunkenness.

TIME TOR sTRADDLING PAST.

In his recent letter, the Secretary of

taken:
ION Thursday before he died, he
called his family to his bedside, and
asked what his condition was. Being
told that it was serious, he said he had
suspected as much, but that it was all
right; that he had trusted in God all
his life, and that his trust was still in
Him; and that he was only going
