SOME LESSONS OF CHAU.
TAUQUA ON THE SUB
JECT OF CHRISTIAN
UNITY.
(By the Bishop of Tennessee.)

u
The times are indeed ripe for
great changes in the ecclesiastical
world. Our own opportunities for
helping forward the better under
standing and the surer union
among Christian people are
thronging upon us week by week,
and year by year. We may refuse
them. We may be tempted to
block the way and disregard the
signs. Or we may, by Gods grace,
emphasize and encourage those
real and essential principles for
which the Anglican Communion
stands, so that they shall become
to all our people the great and
true bonds of religious union and
concord, in this day of the new
birth and the new life of American
patriotism and American power
Therefore, For lions sake will
not hold my peace until
her righteousness go forth IS
brightness and her salvation dis
lamp that burneth We, that
are Jehovah's remembrancers, take
We no rest, and give Him no rest,
till He establish, and till He make
Jerusalem a praise upon the earth
Go through, 60 through the
gates; prepare we the way of the
people; cast up, cast up the high
way; gather out the stones; lift
up an ensign for the peoples
Behold thy salvation cometh; be-
hold His reward is with Him AMI
His recompense before Him..

INSURANCE ON MURDERER
CANNOT BE COLLECTED
Important Decision in United
States Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court Of the United
States. in an opinion announced by Mr..
Justice Brewer. held that a policy Of life
insurance which was drawn in favor Of
a person who aftgrward committed muir
der and was legally hanged is not col
Iectible. The decision was announced IN
the case Of S. H. Burt against the Union
Central Life Insurance Company. The
claimant was one Of the heirs at law OF
William Z. Burt, Of Travis County. Tex
as. who was the person Insured. The pol
icy was drawn payable to Burts wife.
and fin case OF her death TO executors OF
his estate. Some time afterward Burt s
wife died. and he was convicted Of mur-
dering her. and was hanged.
His heirs demanded the payment Of his
life insurance. which was denied by the
central Union Life Insurance Company.
Suit was brought TO collect the insur-
ance. and has been pending In the courts
for several years.
In disposing Of the case Mr.. Justice
Brewer said:
IL CduuOL DC tndl one OF the TlbkS COW
cred by a contract Of insurance Is the
crime Of the insured There Is an i'm
piled obligation on his part 10 do nothing
20 wrongfully accelerate the maturity of
the policy. Public policy forblds the in
sertion in a contract of condition which
would tend 70 induce crime. and as It
forbids the introduction Of such a stipu-
lation, ia also forbids the enforcement OF
contract under circumstances which
cannot be lawfully stipulated for"
In considering the proposition that
Burt did not commit the crime with
which he was charged Justice Brewer
said that If that we're true. the action
could De maintained only on the assump-
ton that there had been a failure Of jus
uce ln The criminal case. and asked the
question n II is possible that there can
De contract Of insurance against the
miscarriage Of justice. Tl's. be said.
would be in the nature Of !. wager. and
a wager intended 20 pervert the course OF
criminal Justice was. it was argued. con-
trary TO public policy.
