made application to the Judge of the
United States District court to have
the sheriff restrained from selling his
property, saying that at least two
thousand dollars more could be re-
allied on it IL ii were disposed of by
trustees sale. The court asked what
difference it made to him, since the
proceeds from the sale would go to his
creditors and not to him. His reply
was notable: My religious feelings
will not permit me to accept my dis
charge in bankruptcy as releasing me
from my moral obligation to pay in
full all my debts. If this property is
sold for two thousand dollars less than
it would bring at trustees sale 1
shall have just that much more TO
pay" The judge commended the debt
