HOW TO GET
RID OF DEBTS.

Text-"And forgive u our debts
40 we forgive our Debtors"
Not one person in fifty can recite
accurately the "Lord's- Prayer. I"
nave frequently tried it at an
evenings gathering aud never yet
found one person who could recite
it word tor word. Almost every
one omits the first word OF our text,
the word "And." But it is an im.
portant word-it cou ples the prayer
for bread with the prayer for for
giveness and hints at the care the
divine Father exerc,ses lover his
! children iu ,hings physical, and in
things spiritual; 10 those OF time
and in those Of eteruity. The COP
ul ative must not be omitted from the
evenings text.
! We have come now to very prac-
tical things. The pronoun that is
connected with the closing petitions
of the LORDS Prayer, Gt oug hit
always to be called the "Disciples
Prayer) 10 no longer ",hy" but
GUS and "our." We began with
HalIowed be Thy name. THY king
dom come. thy will be done, but now
it 10 our debts, our debtors, US not
into temptation, deliver US from
evil. We have left the petitions for
the divine gloritie alton and are now
concerned with the creatures ne.
cessities.
Now, leve.y man is a debtor 10
the sight Of God. All the world is
guilty, aud all the world is obliga-
ted before Him. And from most OF
the obligations man eau never free
himself. Man owes his Creator
and Preserver the debt Of gratitude.
This is the least that we may ac.
knowledge OF our indebtedness.
! We ought at least TO thank God for
the innumerable blessings with
which he crowns our days. This
debt Of gratitude follows close up.
on the heels OF the prayer for life s
uecessity-bread, and may be
hints Of the gratitude expected
whsn the prayer is heard. For
my self l cannot see how auy man
can accept the blessings that are
poured from the lavish hand of
God, as Il he had right to them.
without acknowledgement and
without SO much as saving "by
thy leave" l will not be bold
enough 10 say. that the man who
does not return thanks for his daily
bread, ought to choke to death

Every man owes God debt Of

is better than sacrifice and TO

INJUSTICE OF ENGLISH LAW.
An Innocent Man Falsely Convicted
Has No Recourse or Means
of Redress.

AS in English law a man is held to be
innocent until his guilt has been
proved, so, when once he has been con
victed on a criminal charge, no means
exist of retrying his case. Fresh evil
dence may come to light, as it con
stantly does, which proves his inno-
cence, but all that can then be done is
to appeal to the crown, and all that the
crown can do is to grant him a free
pardon" By this the conviction
against the innocent man is not wiped
out; his innocence is in no way, formal
ly or officially, recorded. He becomes
simply a pardoned criminal, states the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
The injustice frequently entailed by
this state of affairs is lamentable. A
case in point has just been settled in
the court of appeals. In January, 1892,
a London physician named Bynoe, wal
charged with forgery. During the
cours of the trial it became and was
held by the presiding judge to be mate
rial to the issue and of the utmost
necessity in determining the value of
the alibi set up for Bynoe's defense,
that the prosecutor, the Bank of Eng
land, should prove on what day and at
what time or times of such day certain
Bank of England notes of the aggre-
gate value of e415 were returned to
the bank from circulation and by
whom. The bank, in pursuance of its
statutory duty, attended by its proper
officer, Mr.. Charles John Williams, who
was the other defendant in this action,
at the court, and by such officer in
formed the court, p%urporting to give
such information from the records of
the bank, that the notes were returned
to the bank from circulation at one
and the same time and by the same
person after lunch" on May s, 1891.
That information was and had been adj
mitted both by the bank and by Mr..
Williams to have been and
given from and negligently
prepared records and was given by the
defendant bank falsely and negligent
ly and in breach of its duty as afore-
said.
But at the time of the trial the en-
roneous evidence of the bank upset
Bynoe's alibi, and he was sentenced to
nine years penal servitude. He has
now served his full sentence and finds
himself IN the position Of a convict
ed criminal. who has been struck off
the rolls Of his profession and thus
prevented from practicing. At the
same time he has secured evidence
that conclusively proves that he was
innocent of the crime for which he
was sentenced.

THE INDIANS BISHOP.
Truth, Justice and Good Nature Won
for Bishop Whipple the Name
of straight Tongue.o

From an article in Century on Bish.
op Whippie we take these paragraphs
concerning his answering faith in
the Indian:
Ills courage was prominently
shown in his attitude toward the In.
dams. He was the Indians bishop
from the first. His dignity, his re-
serve, the humor lurking behind the
sober mien, his truthfulness and
stanch loyalty-they lovingly dubbed
him straight ~Tongue'-put him at
once in touch with the Indian nature.
Add to this his sense of Justice, a
dominant characteristic, and it was
natural that the Indian problem
should be almost the first problem
faced on his coming to Minnesota as
it's bishop. Facing the problem, he
fearlessly faced the Indians enemies.
and their more d~iscouraging luke.
warm friends. He had TO convert both
the house of bishops and congress.
He lived to see his conception of what
the Indian was capable of in a large
measure successful.
How we loved to hear him, in pub,
lie and private, talk Of the Indian;
now q quaint story of Indian stolid-
ity, of unsupported humor; now a
touching tale of personal loyalty and
Christian faith; now a striking rec
ord of how the Christian Indian An
drew Good Thunder (Wa-kin-yan-was-
te) saved the American settlements
at the time of the Sioux outbreak in
1862.
"Bishop Whipple believed in the In
dim; he believed all the good stories
he told Of him, he compelled a like
belief in his unwilling brother bish-
ops, in the prejudiced, even hostile,
clergy and laity and citizens of Min,
~nesota."
