THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH.

A tragic commentary on the inevi.
table consequences of sin was furnish
ed in the press Of this week when q
self confessed murderer Of thirty years
ago took his own life and left note
telling Of his crime and of the punish
ment and execution Of another man
for the deed no had committed. mir
ty years ego tho human fined had
murdered q young girl and escaped
detection. He saw another man con-
demned and executed and himself went
scot free. He came west, married
and determined to forget the past and
live decent life, but the memory Of
his crime haunted him; the constant
fear of detection, the ghostly thoughts
of two souls sent into eternity by him
tortured his mind Settlers from his
old home came to his new home, and
for fear of detection he ran away to
Death Valley in California, there to
live in despair and isolation until his
own deed caused him to raise his hand
against himself.
This is as dramatic a picture of
retribution and Of the inexorable
operation of the moral law of COM
pensation as has ever been seen. It
might form the basis Of a powerful
tragedy for the stage or for fiction. 1t
represents the stern DEGREES of fate
that pursue the man who sins. There
is no escape from it, no avenue Of re-
lief; nothing left but confession and
free conscience, nothing to do but to
stand before ones fellow-man, self
confessed and in true light, or COM
nit suicide, and suicide, said Web
ster, lis confession.
Why, then, does not all of civilized
mankind recognize this relentless de-
cree of fate and escape the misery and
remorse of an ignominious life and
death by resisting sin? The question

will never be given until men are
made over again into new life
