The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1900-02-23

1t Is curious how conviction tends
to become deep and strong by reason
of the fact that it is entertained. 1t
seems to possess the power of the seed
to send out shoots and become rooted
i'm the mind, and ultimately to yield
TO its fruitage. Indeed, except for those
rare natures that have the power on
the instant of coming to the firmest
decision, the element of time is an i'm
portant. factor in the strength of our
convictions. While we are completely
occupied in other things our beliefs
and decisions are unconsciously grow
ing, and we find, perhaps to our sur
prise, that the opinion Of month or
two ago has become a controlling con-
viction. Parents are often discouraged
because noble ideas appear to arouse
so little response in the inner lives OF
their children. But there Is no reason
for encouragement. If they will recall
the time factor in the formation OF
their own characters, they will have
an Astounding faith in the gradual
deepening Of convictions through the
processes of life. The good seed that
falls on good ground needs only TO bS
let alone to produce a good harvest.

II is easy for you to live after the

the independence of solitude.

HANSEN DIVORCE TRIAL.
Judge Jacobs Takes salacious Case
Under Advancement.

The divorce suit of Hans p. Hansen, a
foundry man, against his wife, Anna Ham
sen, was on trial again yesterday after
noon before Judge Jacobs. At clock the
disappointment Of the crowd Of witnesses
and spectators the court announced that
he would decide the case the following
morning.
Much of the testimony in the case was
hardly fit for publication, but the two
pretty little children who played about the
court room during the day did not realize
at issue.
In answering the demand of Mrs Han
sen for share in property worth $4,000
Mr.. Hansen said that his alleged holdings
in the Klondike were worthless, that he
could not get title to property in Seattle,
and that as to his foundry interest being
worth $1,000, he would sell 1t for $500.
