much do you and | owe to Abraham?
His act thrills with power and majesty
which we would not have if he had
been dlsloyal to God in that hour. We
all trace our spiritual lineage back to
Abraham. Jesus said that the child
rem of faith are the children of Abra-
ham. Even to-day we, after thousands
of years, speak of the God of Abraham.
have tried in vain to pierce the sec
rets of the lost world and the greatness
of the coming glory, and have made up
my mind that the trouble with souls not
being filled with the power and beauty
of Gods love is because the last idol
has not been destroyed. Do this final
act and L will bless theen"
THE MEETING FOR POLICEMEN,
Rev. j. H. Murray spoke to a meeting
of policemen and their families at
o'llock at the Y. M. c. A. parlors. The
meeting was led by Miss Martha Wurts,
who sang two solos and read from
Acts Z. Mr.. Murray, who is an easy
and fluent speaker, related in an inter-
esting manner the story of his CONVEX
sion while serving sentence in prison.
He said that his first sin that he can
remember of having committed was
when he was yet small boy. He
had found a stray dog which he kept
for some time until one day he met
a man who wanted to buy a hunting
dog. Young Murray told the man that
his dog was a good hunter, that he
had raised him from puppy, and in
consequence sold the dog for 50. The
man discovered after time that he
had haan fsba tnH n NO 81
around that Murray had stolen the
dog, The boy ran away then and at
first was a bootblack. Gradually from
slight misdoings he grew to be a pro-
fessional thief and became associated
with a lawle.ss band of evil doors, burg
lars and cut-throats. Mr.. Murray was
at that time living in Ohio and was
mixed up ini several jobs, the stories
of which have been told in the news
papers throughout the country. The
gang of which Murray was a. member
finally put UP a job to be done in San
dusky, O., and after it's completion, the
officers ferreted out the perpetrators
and were hot on their track. One day
the gang boarded train when the
officers were after them and the engine
was just pulling out from the station
when the police appeared and ordered
a brakeman to stop the train that they
might arrest the burglars. The brake
man attempted to do so when Murray
shot him, wounding him, but not kill
ing him. The train went on and at
the next station the robbers left it.
They went back to Sandusky and
