Vision and service-Exod. xiv, 1879
xxxff, 1920; Matt. xvii. is. 1870.

There can be service without q vision Of
something beyond the service. The veriest hire
ling or stupid drudge Is moved 10 his toll by
thought OF future reward or punishrnent-
The higher the service the loftier is the vision
that II presupposes. Cyrus Field had vision
of nations conversing through the ocean abysses<
Jenner had vision Of millions redeemed 70
health from ioathsome disease Every mothex
has vision OF the noble woman into
whom her babe may grow. and every true
preacher sees behind his congregation the
warning vista OF eternal years II IL almost a.
II every deed had its angel In ZONE inspiring
thought. going ahead Of IL and aiinring it on.
on the other hand. there be real vision
without service. No one can actually. with all
his being, seize upon truth without In turn
being seized by the truth and whlried on into
action. There is a cold. philosophical apprehen<
sion of truth. but I do not call thar vision
There is slothful. dilletante half glance a. q
truth but I do not call that vision When
whole being truth-our mind. our affec-
tion, our will-we more help carrying the
truth into life than the burning glass help
bending the rays that fall upon It into the focus
OF fire.
And so men may lead fraities iiye< either be-
cause they lack the vision because they sees
the vision for It's own sake. and not for the
sake OF the service. or the first class would be
a business man. who tolls far into ths night.
and yet rs OF no service because he has no aim
beyond collars and iedgers. OF the second class
would be scholar. who devotes his life -ts
science out OF mere curiosity or ambition. with
no desire TO bcnefir men by what he may dis
cover.
Without vision YOU cannot influence men.
Moses could sterrify and rebuke his nation. be-
cause he had seen God. Christ could heal the
erileptic. because He had been on the mount.
nay, though His body descended 70 the plain.
His spirit always the mountain top.

Therefore. IL you 10 make the most OF

ROW IN THE COURTROOM.


A suit for replevin for a load of scrap
iron that was brought by Louis Keminsky
against A Bernstein was the cause of quite
a row in Judge Leathers's court yesterday.
According to the testimony Keminsky had
been buying iron for Bernstein. On two
carloads that were shipped there was
shortage that amounted to about $40 loss to
Bernstein. When a third car was shipped
the plaintiff alleged that Bernstein received
1T and took possession of the entire lot,
claiming that it belonged to him for the
shortage in the other two cars. 1t amount
ed to a little over $3.50, and Keminsky
claimed the difference between the whole
amount and the $40. He brought suit and
made the Panhandle Railroad Company
defendant for delivering the car.
The parties came into court, Keminsky
represented by Attorney Jesse d. Hamrick
and the defendants by Ferdinand Winter
and Samuel o. Pickens. The trial was
ready to begin when Attorney Hamrick re-
fused to present the suit until he was paid.
He said it was the agreement he was to
receive SIS before he did anything in the
case. Keminsky became angry and de-
manded the papers. The controversy grew
to that point where Bailiff Bone told them
they would be brought before the court
for contempt IL Ii was not stopped and adj
vised Keminsky to get another attorney.
Judge Leathers gave him an hour to secure
another legal adviser, and presently he re-
turned with John l.. Grifhths. AS soon as
Mr. Griffiths learned the situation he said
he would demand SIS also. He then adj
vised Keminsky to pay Hamrick the SIS as
he understood the case and could possibly
do him more good. The affair was finally
settled by Keminsky writing out a check
for SIS and Hamrick presenting the case.
AS the day wore along Keminsky was
placed on the stand. Mr.. Winter was ques-
tioning with all the zeal at his command
when Keminsky put his hand to his head
and interrupted:
please, Mr.. Winter. don't ask so many
voolish questions. Don't ask me no more
than Is necessary. I've godt such a head
ache. 1t makes me get mixed up" AT this
the court, jury and all burst into laughter.
In the end the railroad company gave
Keminsky S17.25 and the jury returned a
verdict and judgment for $751;

SCHENCK MUST RESIGN.
Austrian Scientist who Made Discov.
cry How to Control Sex.

dispatch from Vienna yesterday says:
DIR. Samuel L. Schenck. who has been pur-
sued by the clamor of the whole medical
profession of Austria ever since he won in
ternational fame through his theory of the
predetermination of sexes, has been pun
ished.
e The accusation of his professional fellows
was that he had been guilty of a serious
breach of professional etiquette in seeking
notoriety, and that he had not offered suf-
ficient public contradiction of exaggerated
stories of his experiments.
They appealed to the government to re-
lieve the professor of his chair of embry-
ology in the Royal and Imperial University
of Vienna, and have been so insistent that
their efforts have finally met with reward
DR.. Schenck was today deposed from his
position in the university, and was also
officially reprimanded by the government.
The notification sent to him imposes an in
definite furlough from his duties, but adds
that he may ask for pension.
