The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1900-04-05

L thought this a rather weak
plea in justification, and being
anxious to do a little missionary
work to help the cause for which
Christ died and suffered so much, I
said:
chaplain, you are a Christian
clergyman and have taken it upon
yourself to teach the precepts and
practice of Christianity and you
admit that Gods laws are the
foundation of Christian hope for
a future life and that in that fu-
ture life we shall be rewarded or
punished for our acts in this
life. Now let us suppose a case,
a sort of parable. Suppose your
prisoner after committing the MUIR
der, repented while waiting trial
and sought Gods forgiveness for
the horrible crime which he had
committed, do you think God
would forgive him and allow him
to enter heaven when the sheriff
had got through with hanging
him?
His reply was ''that if the pris-
oner truly repented he surely
would enter heaven, even as the
thief who was crucified along with
Jesus, received Jesus assurance
of forgiveness, and admission into
paradise"
"Well, chaplain, I have just one
more question to ask you and that
is. this: If God had forgiven and
pardoned that mans crime and
reserved a seat for him among
those who were to sit upon the
right hand of His eternal throne,
clothed in spotless white and wear
ing golden crowns, and you were
to die, and when you knocked at
the gates of paradise for admis-
sion, what answer would you make
to Gods inquiry as to why you
sat in judgment and condemned
to death one whom He had par
doned?"
This side of the question seemed
to have never before occurred to
my friend, the chaplain, and he
didn't have time to talk longer at
that time and babe me good night.
AS he never called at my cell after
that, l presume he considered that
L had been too plain in my speech.
However, be that as it may
the point which I wish to illus
trate by using the above is this:
When a man puts the laws of man
above the teaching of Christ and
still claims to be Christian, he
commits crime more far-reaching
in injury to those who look up to
him for counsel and advice than if
he we're. to rob them of their
money, for he educates them to a
false standard of ethics which will
be an injury to them all the DAYS
of their lives. Coal OIL DIoK.

Instantly there was a bombardment which
astOnished the people for blocks around,

lection of frecrackers were several cannon
crackers and when these went off they
shook the whole building, which is the
Parrot block, a two-story brick, with Co

lodging house occupying the whole of the

without injury, but she had a narrow es-

the fire eXtinguished by the chemical APP

burning matches and exploding crackers
was sitting. Mr.. Pearsall, with his family,
reside in the rear of the store. Their per-
sonal effects and stock of goods were badly
damaaged by smoke, and although insured
their loss will reach several hundred dol
