/. Relation to the National Life.
2. Relation to the Idea Of Freedom.
3. Relation to the Kingdom Of God.
That is 1t will be viewed from three
points of observation, each the center
of a circle, each circle larger than the
one preceding it.
THE RELATION OF THE WAR TO THE
NATIONAL LIFE.
Kipling holds that in the Indian
Department the man Of one idea is a
social and official nuisance, which may
or may not be true Of India, but II
Americans are wise the war will ever
remind them of the value Of the man
with one idea.
But for this type OF man there
would have been no awakening of the
Northern conscience; no stirring OF
the hearts of the people; no arousing
of the divinest of all passions, the pas,
sion to save men Among all peoples
whose principles are becoming lax,
whose life is dying, whose decadsnce is
assured, the man of one idea is treat
ed as curse or a social disease.
OF old, men cried, Cruelty Him
Cruelty Him. In an unhealthy na,

OF moral rottenness in the wound; yet

MEMORIAL SERM ON.

Church, Aurora.


"He hath sent me to proclaim release to the
captives; TO set at liberty them that bruised
TO proclaim the acceptable year OF the Lord
Luke 1913.
In these words Jesus sketched the
program Of Christianity, which pro-
gram is much nearer its fulfillment
than many dream.
The pessimism Of Schopenhauer has
cast shadow over philosophic
thought: the agnosticism of scientific
theorists has consciously affected the
faith Of few, and also the faith OF
many unconsciously. As result
Christian faith has largely failed to
appreciate the advance which the
spirit Of Christ has made in the earth.
OF the two evils an unbalanced op.
timism is to be preferred to an unrea-
sonabie pessimism, yet one commonly
hears such remarks as these even in
Christian pulpits.
After 1000 years OF Christian educa'
tion the Kingdom of God seems as far
from realization as when Jesus laid
down his life.

day is subjected to rigid testing the

THE JUDGES NEW YEAR STORY

In the grillrcom of the club where i the old justice of the supreme court , had his accustomed seat we two had smoked our cigars for an hour. He
 was in a reminiscent mood. For tine 1 he had been silent. It seemed as though there was something in his at titude that suggested remorse. Sud denly he turned to me and said:
 Did it ever occur to you that there
 are tragedies enacting before your very i eyes, and that you would be appalled, if you could know the secrets of the men and women you pass in the streat?" 1 I saw that no answer was expected and kept silent, fearing to break the
 thread of his thought. His head sank upon his bosom. Deep lines of thought. care and responsibility had graven themselves in his face. His shoulders were bowed with hours of research among musty volumes of the law. It
 was impossible that he had been guilty
 of anything that would cause remOrse.
 Had not botLh the great political parties
 declared that the phrase, "The ermine
 was not winter than the character of the man who assumed it. applied to the man who sat before me? He began
 in a low voice:
 Even the shadow of crime traced to the judge of a court Of record would be enough to cast him into outer dark ness, yet that shadow has brushed my robes of office. I need not extract a promise from you that you will never reveal the source Of what I am about to tell you. Waiter, bring some cigars.
 ''All of the prisoners but George Dal- rymple had been disposed of in the criminal term Of the supIeme court over which I pjresided, and the interest of all in the courtroom was centred in him. He was to be arraigned to plead tcl an indictment charging him with forging a check Cn a Wall street bank for large sum of money The clever methods ussd by the prisoner to get the money had been set forth in the news papers, and the courtroom was crowd ed. A sea Of faces arose before me as took my exalted seat on the bench. All eyes were set to get a glimpse of the criminal. I had never seen him, but I had asked the district attorney in charge Of the prosecution to learn all he could about Dalrymple. Little co11d be learned by the detectives The pris- oner had led a rowing life, visiting ali parts of the world. He was born in New York city, and in recent years had lived in South America The forgery was in connection with the sale Of a gold mine in South America to some New York jarties, and he had been but one day in New York when he was de- tected He had escaped and had been arrested and brought back ol extradi- tion papers. A rustic in court tCld ne that the prisoner was on his way u the prisoners dock, with an officer on each side of him to prevent any possible at tempt to escape. Suddenly he stood te- fore me, looking straight into my syes.

THE SWORD AND THE PEN GOING
 HAND IN HAND.'

The most popular military man in tha world among the hack writers, au- thOrs, newspaper men and workers at literature and the affiliated trades is Gen. Kitchener, of whom it is told that, being asked to write a book, he replied, ::'NO, thank you: 1 shall remain a sol dier." In cid times making history and writing it were usually separate jobs. Nowadays it is different. The sword and the pen are mighty by turns in the same hand and what soldiers lose by the Encouragement of the good old prac- tice Of sack they win by gleanings in the field of literature. Relief for the professional men of letters is not easily devised. A literary trust would have to be tCo hospitable to be of value for commercial purposes. A license system might betried as with ministers, but that too would fail for lack of a reason able basis for exclusion. Hope is chief ly sustained in the literary bosom by anticipation that the late wars will presently be as fully expOunded as the tickle mind of the public can endure, and that then, when there is nothing in particular to say about anything, ths business of saying it will revert to ex- perienced hands-E. s. Martin, in Har- per's Weekly.

 Keep an eye on Number Six.
 They can't Gelp it.
 "A moment later a passenger up in front pulled down the shade of his window, which displayed the same sign. He stared at it in amazement, then turned and tok a deliberate survey of the two occupants of No. 6-the newly welded couple.
 When my friend of the smoking compartment returned nearly every window in the car displayed the same legend and a volley of smiles greeted him. His poor little wife had shrunk into the furthest corner of the seat. He was mad-naturally. But what good would that do? So he took 1t sensibly and pretended not to notice. But when he pulled down the shade at his own window he was confronted with this inscription:
 This is them,
 Treat them well'

wanted so much to live, and his look of mute appeal and the oft-repeated ques- tion, Will pull through, doctor?" will haunt me for long time to come. I am comforted by the knowledge that his death was quiet and painless, just like falling into deep sleap. Most of the injuries to bone caused by these bullets were clean perforations only, instead of the terrible splintering frac- lures of previous wars, produced by soft bullets of larger calibre and less velocity. One instead of penetrating the abdomen after entering apparently straight, passed around from one side to the other between the muscles, and escaped from the opposite side to that on which it entered, making only a simple fiesh-wound.-Cap George J. Newgarden, in Harpar's Weekly.

 Monctonously the clerks voice sound ed in my ear:

 What have you to say why the sen tence of the court should not be pro- ncuncad on you according to 1aw?" I was forced to ask.
 The prisoner stepped forward His eyes met mine for an instant. Than he of the court officers.
 "He has fainted.' the cry went up from tIha strained voices of the crowd He had no. fainted-he had recognized me!
 What would his next utterance be? If he should break into approaches, I could say no hing in se.f-defenSa. My brothers eyes met mine in a long gaze. Then, with calm voice, he addressed the clerk:
 T have nothing to say-only this: was the tool Of another.''
 In that instant I saw my duty There was that in his face and manner that told me that he told the truth Sum mCning all my strength, I said:
 There is a discretion vested in this cffice, and in your case shall eXercic 2 that discretion. I believe you are nc. bad man, and that you did not intend to live a crimnal life-''
 A gesture by the district attorney a. rested me, and he stepped tc the desk before me. He said: '"The complain ing witness begs that you will exercise clemency. He has just received a dis patch stating that the principal offend CT has been arrested
 Turning to the prisoner, I said:
 "Tcmorrow is Christmas It is a day of all days for the forgiveness Of sins and fer charity and good will to all. I am happy that at this time I can tell yCu that sentence is suspended and you may go free"
 Forgiveness of sins f-r all?" said the prisoner, looking straight at me.
 Yes I replied. For me as well as fer you.''

 After a bite of supper I retired with my cigar to the smoking room. I was presently joined by the young man I have just been describing.

 mouth, the bullet entering on the right
 side of the face, sadly battered a beau

 them; was def1ectsd and turned down
 ward by one of the molars Cn the left
 side and lodged in the muscles Cn the
 left side of the neck, where it now is
 and can easily be felt. He Is now in
 the tolls of a dentist, getting the dam

 is a pretty dimple at the right corner of the mouth, simply intensifying his for mer pleasant expression. Another was shot through both thighs, and I found the bullet in his trousers pocket. When told of the fact he simply remarked: That's a mighty smart bullet, to stop in my pocket after plugging me. wouldn't lose it fer "a farm" Another lad-he was merely a boy, in fact-was carried in by two comrades, and evil dently did not knew how badly he was hurt.
