The Death Sentence in England

The present agitation in England to
abolish the "pronouncing Of the death
sentence in cases where it is patent
that capital punishment will not follow
will probably meet with the approva!
of most people, who desire that the
law should lose nothing of it's dignity,
and at the same time have nothing Of
unnecessary horror added. The Lord
Chancellor pleads for the retention Of
the form, saying that the passing OF
the death sentence will act as a de-
terrent. James L. juggled with death
sentences in this manner and got him
self badly disliked for it. Over the
plot in which Raleigh, Gotham. Grey
and others were implicated he had the
less puissant one put to death and
Every bloodily handled" Cobham's
brother was beheaded like a gentle
man." The Bishop of Chichester, with
the blood of the latter still upon him,
went then to Lord Gotham. Him the
bishop exhorted to confession. Other
prelates were similarly engaged with
Sir Walter Raleigh and Lord Grey.
Meantime Markham, another OF the
conspirators, had been placed upon the
scaffold and was about to bow his head
to the axe when the Sheriff was called
away by a Scotch hireling, and the
prisoner left to contemplate the x
for an hour. Then he was led away
und told to prepare for death at the end
of two hours. Grey's turn was next.
He prayed half an hour before the
block, then raised himself to die-and
was laid away, the King sending word
that the order of execution had been
changed. So forth came Gotham, and
having made his last declaration, pre-
pared to take farewell Of the world,
when the Sheriff stayed the execution
and brought forth Markham and Grey
all three thinking that the other two
had been executed. They were told,
after having suffered the agony of all
but death itself, that their lives would
be spared. Raleigh's experience was
similar. That was how they used to
make death sentences act as "a deter
rent" in the good old days. There
would be danger for those who tried
a repetition to-day--St. James Ga
zette.

One Bill Missing.

Nearly fifteen years ago a mar en-
tered the First National Bank of Den
yer and walked into the Office of David
H. Moffatt, the president of the bank.
He had a bottle in his hand that he
said contained nitroglycerin, and
threatened to blow up the bank unless
he was given a large sum of money.
Mr.. Moffatt sent for the money and
among the bills was one of $4,000 de-
nomination. Recently the Govern
ment called in all $4,000 bills and the
one given by Mr.. Moffatt is the only
one that has not been presented for
redemption. No trace of the man who
cot the money was ever found.

Mexico and Macmillan.

Mexico was, at the end Of the Civil
War, still occupied by French troops,
against the will Of the Mexicans. The
United States now began to urge tlleir
withdrawal in more decided language,
and France consented to take them
away. The United States had no OBJ
lection to Maximilian's remaining as
Emperor, if the Mexicans wished it.
He refused to leave with the French
troops, and in 1867 was captured and
shot by the Mexicans. The United
States asked that his life should be
spared. but the request vas refused.
His wife, Carlotta, became insane
through grief.

Christian Heroism.

There are many paths and places in life
where the honest, sincere and earnest
child of God must needs walk and stand
alone, so far as mere human help and SYM
patty arc concerned. The men and wom-
en- who have been the greatest blessings to
humanity and to the ages have, like the
Nazarene, trod the wine press sublimely
alone. The pioneers Of civilization have
generally gone far ahead and away from
the masses and pitched their tents in the
wilderness, or on lonely frontiers. And so
it is with the pioneers in Christian eXper-
iencc and service. So it was with the Mas
ter, and will eyer be with all of His most
heroic and consecrated followers.
1t is not difficult to get away into retire
ment and there live upon your own convic-
tons; nor is it difficult to mix with men
and follow their convictions, but to enter
into the world and there live out firmly
and feariessly according to Your own con-
science, that is Christian heroisn and
greatness. Great swaying multitudes
touched the body and garments Of Jesus,
but very few touched His Spirit. Even
those who knew Him best, the wise men
in the temple, and even His own apostles,
were utterly mystiied and bewildered until
the Day of Pentecost. when they began to
perceive and realize His cosmic life, or His
life more abundant, which had been re-
leased on the cross.-St. Louis Advocate.

A Vast Fund Of Information

is available in the large dictionaries
and makes them almost invaluable, but
it is not every one who can afford to
pay for the great books. Even those
who own them do not always find it
convenient to get up from their read
ing or writing to investigate the spell
ing or definition of a word, for the
big books are heavy and awkward to
handle, and are too bulky to be kept
close at hand. How sensible, then, to
have a small, concise dictionary al

will use constantly. Such a.work will

Secret of JOYFUL Living.

In q crowd of people, even among the
most cultured, there are few faces that eX'

tian Work.. Care and WEAKNESS, restless.
ness and uns&tisfed ambition are unmis-
takably visible, and often when outward
conditions seem the most favorable, the
joyful life finds no expression; for it is an
unknown experience. Yet all nature IS
full of gladness; q wonderfully beautiful
ton. Why does he not rejoice in his pos.
sessions? He is out of harmony, sin is the
discordant note, but when by repentance
toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus
Christ he is at one with God' the discord
resolves itself into the sweet, rich chord
OF love. Then there follows the trium-
plant obligato Of joy. The accompaniment
is not always perfectly harmonious, but
the song goes on uninterrupted to the
close. Is that true? The Psalmist says:
"In Thy presence is fulness of JOY" The
Lords presence is continually about us,
believers willingly concede the fact. Why
thdn is there not more joy? The life is
based on a lower plane, instead of shaping
it according to the pattern that was
showed in the Mount"
The belief of the heart is not worked
out in the life. There are many lovable
Christians whose faith never falters when
the heavier sorrows come, but do not see
or recognize their Lord in the daily rou.
tine. either by seeking Him for hourly
needs, or thanking Him for ever-prcsent,
numberiess blessings. Christ gave the Sc
cret Of joy when He said, ASK, and We
shall receive, that your Joy may be full"
1t is a constant interchange Of interests
between the Father and His child. Be.
cause He is infinitely great and powerful,
He is no less the loving, compassionate
Oae. A friend said to me: do 0 ask
Him about such little things" as though
it were irreverent to speak TO Him about
the trivial but absolutely essential details
of daily living. For though the Lord be
high, yet hath He respect unto the lowly;"
that fact alone should fill US with Joy.
. Study to live as in His presence; let all
the surroundings as far as possible be in
accord with a royal Guest and loving
Friend. What a transformation there
would be in most homes and lives If all
pertaining to them were consciously given
over to Him to arrange; we executing as
under His immediate supervision, without
fear, fretfulness or anxiety. There could
be but one result, a full. Astounding joy.
Would it not be worth while to make the
effort? 1t can only be attained by patient,
persistent endeavor; beginning with the
first moment in the morning, praying
hourly to be kept consciously in the pres
ence OF Jesus our Lord. In such a life
heaven does not seem so far away and that
home Is a part of Ckrist's established king

Doing Ones Best.

We should not only seek to do our best,
but also to do the best that can be done.
No man can tell when he has done his
best. The best should always be the high
est reach possible. The striving for excel
lence is not alone for the sake OF the life
it makes possible. No work should ever
be made better. It was said of Lord
Brougham that such was his love of excel
lence that, IF his station in life had been
only that of a bootblack, he would never
have rested satisfied until he had become
the best bootblack in England" 1t is no
wonder, remarks the Baptist Union, that
he was one of the best men in the empi>e.
In seeking to do his best, ever aiming at
excellence, he was gradually making him
SELF one of the best men. And after all,
the great purpose of life is only achieved
when one not only does his best, but is his
hast

English Beetles.

There are beetles in England (of the
family known to scientists as Telepho
ridae) that are popularity called coldierS
and sailors, the red species being called
by the former name and the blue
species by the latter. These beetles
are among the most quarrelsome of n
sects and fight to the death on the
least provocation. 1t has long been the
custom among English boys to catch
and set them fighting with each other

Taces That Comfort One,

at wish some people knew jus. now
much their faces can comfort one!" The
speaker was a young woman who had
passed through deep sorrows; she was
telling a friend how many people COM
forted her, though they were uncon ,cious
of it. The Epworth Herald tells the story
II often ride down in the same street car
with your father. and III has been such a
help to me to sit next to him. There IS
something so good and strong and kind
about Eim, it mas been a comfort just to
feel he was beside me. Sometimes, when
I have been utterly depressed and dis.
couraged, he has seemed somehow to know
just the right word to say to me, but, il
he didn't talk, why, l just looked at his
face, and that helped me. He probably
has not the least idea of it, for l know
him so slightly, and I don't suppose peo-
pie half realize, anyway, how much they
are helping or hindcring others!" There
is 4 great deal of this unconscious kindness
in the world. Moses visit not that his
face shone. The best people are not aware
OF their goodness. According to the old
legend, it was only when it fell behind
him, where he could not see it, that the
sanity mans shadow healed the sick.
This is a parable. Goodness that is aware
of Itself has lost much OF its charm. Kind
ncsses that are done unconsciousiy meaD

that the gospel carries its comfort in dis

God Loveth AL.
Unto every man and nation,
God will e'er extend His hand,
Loving, under all conditions,
Those obeying His command.
Neither rich or poor are favored,
Only for their love to God,
Earning thus the Masters favor,
Treading paths where He hath trod.
Those who love and will obey Him,
He will never once forSake,
But within their souls be dwelling,
Inner conscience to awake.
He will teach them life's great lessons,
That will bring peace into the heart,
And the happiness of spirit
Never will from them depart.
Though the home be poor and humble,
God will find a dwelling there,
If He finds the heart is waiting,
And is filled with earnest prayer,
Asking Him to come, be with them,
And to teach them what is right,
He will quickly hasten thither,
Shedding round about His light.
Everywhere He's loved and needed
He will always, quickly, go.
Comfort give to those who seek Him,
Love and mercy He will show.
And more room the humble hearts have,
In which they Gods love receive,
With less pride and vain ambition
VIII they cause His heart to gricve.
Oh, the blessed, blessed promise,
That He never will forsake,
And if we will love and trust Him,
Care of US He'll always take.
Then why should we wander from Him
Into worldly ways of sin,
That we must, ere reaching heaven,
Have a change OF heart besin?
