 0BERLIN, Kan, March 1.-Hester Burnett, who has been in jail for bur glary and larceny, and who once before broke jail and fled to Nebraska, and was recaptured and brought back, escaped yesterday afternoon and is at large.

Death of Recluse In California Reveals a
 Story of Misfortune and Devotion.
 OAKLAND, Cal, March 1.-The death of Henry Odenkerchen. who was for many years almost recluse in the lonely hills of Altamont, has revealed story of lost fortune and devotion to a dead wife's memory. Thirty-five years ago he was one of the wealthiest inhabitants of New Ha- ven, Conn. He was identified with the Winchester Arms company, having many large contracts with that corporation. He lost his fortune through 8 shipwreck, which carried to the bottom cargo of am munition and arms in which he was heavily interested. Before he came to California his wife died. Her remains were inferred in New Haven cemetery. As the city grew it encompassed her resting place. A short time before his death the husband refused to accept SIC. 900 for the plot.

ABSENCE FROM CHURCH.
Eloquent lnvective Against
Sowing Wild Oats.

Rev. Butler Sabbath morning
preached in the M. e. church,
South, from Acts, 1910. The
preacher said in substances:
Paul went down to cultured Ath-
ems, and on to Corinth. There he
fell in with Aquilla and his wife,
Priscilla. This man and woman
we're Jewish refugees. Claudius.
the Roman emperor, had issued a
decree expelling all Jews from the
country; and this despised son and
daughter OF Abraham, had sought
and found refuge under the more
liberal and indulgent institutions
of the Greeks. Being of the same
craft, he stopped with these peo-
pie for time, and joined with
them in the making of tents.
While working for his board in
this way, be economical time also
to preach the gospel. 1t was a
new doctrine, strange doctrine.
Purporting, as it did, to save men
from sin, degradation and misery,
the Jews crowded into the syna-
gogue to hear it. Here, they said,
we may find something that we
want, something that will do us
good. But they were disappointed.
Instead of finding philosophy to
apologize for their sins and sensu-
ality, they met with a doctrine
that pricked them to the heart,
and reminded them of account
ability, Of judgment, and final
penalties. They were offended.
They said let US away from the
presence of this babbler.
And so they went and began to

children TO f0llOW their example.
They are not anxious just now for
the spiritual welfare of their chill
dren. They are in favor of allow
ing their boys time to SOW their
wild oats. There will be time for
them to sober down and become
Christians by and by. All, my
beloved, do not deceive your
selves. Don't you know that
what your boys are sowing they
will have sooner or later to reap?
Gods word for that. Go to tho
prison cells. What do you see
there? See that young mans face
peering through that grated win
dow. He is some fond mothers
son, handsome to look upon, he is;
the son of some noble father who
simply stayed away from church
and gave his boys chance to SOW
their wild oats. 0, my friends,
this young man and scores of 9TH
ers are today peopling our prisons
and are there harvesting in sham G.,
dishonor and misery. the awful
sheaves of what they have sown.
These young men while sowing
their wild oats, forget the Bible,
and drift into skepticism. They go
to school, to college, learn a little
something and become vain of it.
The next thing you know your
/ boy, after sowing his wild oats,
and is graduated on two by four
scale, is ringing changes on the
name of Tom Payne and swearing
at the church. ~
Mother and father, if you want
your boys to be. Christians, to be
saved from the ultimate doom OF
the reprebats, you can not afford
to give them time to sow their
wild oats. As they are able to
understand the difference between
right and wrong, you will have to
present to them Christ, and his
blessed teaching. Let the atmos-
phere in which they begin to tot
ter on foot be sweetened with the
breath of the gospel. Teach them
the way to the church and the
sabbath school. Let this be done,
too, not by harsh compulsion, but
by the sweet inducements of par.
entail persuasion. Keep their
young lives continually encom-
passed by the influences OF the
church of Christ. The church,

that we have that is better than

was to them indeed a root out of
dry ground; there was no beauty
in him. So they pursued and ma
ligned, and misrepresented him,
and sought to take his life.
This blind, obstinate, and un-
reasoning conduct on the part of
his brethren after the flesh, was a
great disappointment to Paul. So
deeply imbued with the truth
which be preached was the preach
er's own heart and soul; SO clearly
he saw it; so sensibly he felt and
appreciated its power, that he was
both amazed and grieved at the
dullness of his countrymen. So
Jesus himself once had occasion
to express astonishment at the aw-
full unbelief of his Jewish country.
men.
The ground of this astonishment
on the part of Paul and the Savior,
was certainly well founded. These
Jews hadbeen under the instruction
of Moses and the prophets for hun
dreds of years. And this instruc-
ton was designed to prepare them
for hearing and receiving this
same gospel which Paul was now
preaching to them. But it was
schooling utterly lost upon them.
In state of righteous despair in
reference to his countrymen, he
determined TO leave them to their
narrow prejudices and to die in
their sins. When they opposed
themselves and blasphemed, he
shook his raiment, and said unto
them, "Your blood be upon your
own heads; | am clean; from
henceforth will go unto the gen.
tiles"
The gospel according to the de-
vine plan had to be preached first
at Jerusalem. to the Jews. Had
they accepted it and carried it
abroad to the gentle, Gods
scheme of salvation for the world
had been carried. But the gos-
pei was not to make its abode at
Jerusalem; nor was its promulga-
tion among the gentiles to depend
upon the tickle loyalty of the
Jews. 1t had to 60 to the gentiles;
and God found a way in Paul to
send it.
So he departed and went into
the house of one Justus, a man
who worshipped God. This mans
house stood close by the side of a
Jewish synagogue. Crispus was
the ruler of the synagogue, and he
and his whole house believed on
the Lord. They were Christians
Now the ruler of synagogue in
those days, was generally a chiei
man in the community; a man Of
character and influence; man
that was looked up to and whose
opinions were generally consulted
on all questions, of municipal i'm
portance and public interest. What
