TWAS DECIDEDLY
OUT OF ORDINARY
An Execution Preceded By a Public
Reception.
AN UNIQUE EVENT IN MISSOURI
Five Hundred Citizens of AdaIr
County Filed Through the Sher-
ff's Office and Bade John
Robinson GOOd-By.

Kirksville,s Mo-, Jan. 16.-John Rob-
inson was hanged, Friday. By the sher-
iff. The witnesses were numerous, the
execution of the death sentence was
simply, regularly and expeditionsly
ed to see the hanging, but the sheriff
would not permit larger number to
be present than the law allows.
ANOveI Proposition.
When Robinson heard that the num-
Der Of witnesses was TO be limited he
sent for the sheriff and asked permis-
sion to bid his friends farewell. He
said that his acquaintances included
nearly everybody in the county, and he
wanted to see as many of them as he
could.
The sheriff consented, and let it be
known that Robinson would be in his
Office yesterday afternoon. Hundreds
came into town from the county in the
hope of seeing the condemned murder
er, and all were eager to attend the re-
ception in the sheriff's Office
The Crowd Filed Past.
When the line was formed Robinson
was brought from his cell, guarded by
deputies and placed between two doors
with a deputy on either side. Then the
curious were permitted to file by and
shake his hand. He was nervous ut
first, but distinctly pleased TO see fa-
miliar faces. AS each person ap-
preached ne extended his hand, and
shook the hand of the person with
firm grasp. He said little beyond greet
ing his friends and "gooG-by" as they
moved ON.
Occasionally man or woman of re-
ligious convictions would ask him IL
he was prepared to die, and he would
answer that he was at peace with the
world, and believed that he had been
forgiven for the murder of his father
in-law, George Conkle, whom he mad
called to the door of his store and shot
because of trouble over money matters.
Enjoyed His Position.
AS the time passed he grew moro
composed, and showed evidence of en-
joying his position as the center of at
traction. His greetings and good-bys
were heartier, and occasionally he add
ed few words of warning.
Take warning by me, Jim, and don't
drink"
Live good life, If you don't want
to be where / am"
make your peace with the Lord be-
fore it's too late
Robinson the Least Affected.
Most of the persons in line were too
obsorbed in gazing at him to appre-
ciate what he was saying or to reply.
They were far more affected than Rob-
inson.
1t is estimated that 500 persons shook
the condemned mans hand. He COM
planned humorously that his wrist was
sore When the line having passed, he
was led back to his cell. He spent part
of the night in prayer, then lay down
and slept calmly until awakened for
the Journey to the gallOws.

He Brave.

To maintain steady and unbroken
mind. amidst all the shocks of adversely,
forms the highest honor of men. At
f1ictions supported by patience and sur
mounted by fortitude give the last fin
ishing stroke to the heroic and virtu-
Gus character. Thus the vale of tears
becomes the theater of human glory;
that dark cloud presents ali the beau
ties in the bow of virtue. Moral grand
eur, like the sun, is brighter in the
day of the storm, and never is so truly
sublime as when struggling through
the darkness of an eclipse. Patience
is the guardian of faith, the preserver of
peace, the cherisher of love, the teach
er of humility. Patience governs the
flesh, strengthens the spirit, sweetens
the temper, stiles anger, extinguishes
envy, subdues pride; she brides the
tongue, restrains the hand, tramples
upon temptations, endures prosecutions.

Neqress Turns White.

Sallie Phillips, colored, living in
Nashville, is undergoing the remark
able experience of changing color.
From a genuine black her body and
limbs have within the last twelve
years become white, not gradually,
but by the appearance and growth of
spots. Her face is now undergoing
the process. The change began
twelve years ago, when a small white
spot appeared on the woman's breast.
Soon Jthers appeared, growing
larger and larger. She finally con-
suited a physician, who pronounced
her case one of leucoderma, and as
sured her it was not dangerous. Her
health remained good, and, as she
expresses it, she has since been 'smore
Gurus that scairt.'
The woman is now almost entirely
white, with the exception of her fin
gers from the middle joint to the
tips and parts of her face. While
her upper lip is that of negro, the
lower has all the appearance of a
white persons. Where the color has
changed the skin has every appear
ance of health. The woman is en-
ployed as a sick nurse and cook.

Up to the coming of Christ into the
world and the fulfillment in Him of all
the Old Testament promises, God had
dealt with the Gentle world through
the children of Israel, His chosen peo-
pie. The promises were first to the
Jews and through them to the Gentiles.
for in Abraham and his seed all the ma
tions of the earth were to be blessed.
For this reason and in this sense the
Jews were near to God and the Gentiles
far off. But this middle wall of parti-
ton" was broken down by Jesus
Christ, and His sacrifice was without
reference to any particular people, tribe
or nation. "All had sinned and come
short of the glory of Cod" whether
Jews or Gentiles, and all alike needed
redemption. Christ by the sacrifice on
the cross reconciled unto God both Jews
and Gentiles and "came and preached
peace to the Gentiles which were afar
off, and to the Jews which were nigh"
And now through Christ both Jews and
Gentiles have access by one Spirit unto
the Father Now therefore the Gentiles
areno more strangers and foreigners, but
fellow citizens with the saints, and of
the household of God" But, as Jesus de-
clared to the Samaritan woman at ia
cob's well, who was inclined to dispute
the claims of the Jews, salvation was
of the Jews" The Jews held a pc
culiar and intimate relationship to
God, and through them was accom-
plished the wonderful scheme of re-
demption. And God still has definite
plans and peculiar blessings for the
Jews They have occupied and shall
yet occupy a unique and exalted place
in the marvellous fuufillment of proph-
ecy. And because of the unmeasured
blessings which have come to the world
through the Jews, and because the Jews
are to be again gathered as a nation in
Palestine, and are to welcome as their
Messiah and King the One whom they
rejected and crucified=because of all
this, the Christian of to-day, the Gen
tile Christian, ought to pray for the Jew
and for the peace of Jerusalem, "for they
shall prosper that love Thee" In the
above sense then the Jews were nigh
to God and the Gentiles afar off, but in
broader and more general sense all
are far from God until brought nigh by
the blood of Christ.
