thought of the country in the new
problem of controlling trusts and
preventing their encroachment on the

Evil Environment.

The following editorial COM
ment is from the jackson Exam
liner. The thought presented
ought to be helpful as teaching a
good lesson of charity:
Circumstances do much to di.
rect the course of life. A young
man is often set in an evil course
by the accidental companionship
of another, and the shrewdnes S
and talent here developed would
have made a business man of mark
had it been directed by chance,
perhaps into another channel.
l saw a young man hung once.
He went to the gallows singing a
hymn. and just before the black
hood was drawn over his face he
asked all those standing about to
pray with him, and he knelt at
the gallows' edge and offered
aloud a fervent prayer urging all
who heard to meet him in heaven.
Before he was hung, just a few
hours, he told of his crime. He had
been born in the slums of a great
city. His mother was of those
outside the pale, and he never
knew who his father was. His
earliest teachings were to steal and
not be detected. He went with an
older companion to do theft, and
stood ut door while a white wO-
man was killed. When he was
taken to the Jail a Y. NJ. 9. A.
preacher saw HIM often and for the
first time he heard the religion of
Jesus Christ. He eagerly accepted
all he could gather, expressed the
greatest horror for his past life.
and declared in the last hour of
his life that he was going to meet
his God without fear.
l am not m uch of Il hand on
deathbed repentance, but give this
story just as it happened in indie
pendence. Had this young man
been born of different surround
ings, received the teachings of a
good mother, the admonitions of a
father, the education of the publ ic
schools, and become an industri-
Gus man, he would never have
met the fate on the gallows. He
would have had the same blood in
his veins but his surroundings
would have been entirely different
and his end different. If what he
said was true of his own life, he
was no more responsible than the
heather in the far country who
never heard the Bib stories.
