The judgment on sin is, that it is
permitted to have it's way. There
could be nothing more appalling. This
is that eternal law which, in its long
slow working, grinds to powder. A
nation pushing aside its best instincts,
lusting after wealth, aggression and
dominion, is permitted to have its
way, and it ends--like Nineveh and
Tyre. A man, putting away the prin-
ciples of truth and honor and the love
of simplicity, yielding himself to false
practices and self-indulgence, is per-
mitted to have his way, and he ends
like Dives. There is a word near the
end Of the Book, calmly stated, seldom
quoted, which crashes like a tempest,
He that is unjust, let him be unjust
still; and he that is filthy, let him be
filthy still" Let him" 1t is the aw-
full permission Of that deliberate
choice Of evil the end of which are
the ways of death.

Christianity wants nothing so much
in the world as sunny people; and
the old are hungler for love than for
bread; and the oil Of joy is very
cheap; and If you can help the poor
on with garment of praise, It will
be better for them than blankets.

OID-TIME HAlF-cENTS.
Two OF Them Sent to Washington Last Year
for Redemption.

for Redemption.
The treasury of the United States on
May 6, 1903, received two half.cent
pieces. This is the first time in the
history Of the country that any such
coins have been presented for redemp.
tion. It is moro than century since
the first half-oent was coined, and it is
hardly fifty years since the govern.
ment discontinued minting them.
Possibly not ono person in . thous-
and now living in the United States
ever saw hali.cent piece.
The last annual report of the Direc-
tor of the Mint, page 80, shows that
1885,, ,222 of these coins, representing
$50. .476.l7, were issued. For almost
half century each annual report OF
the Treasury Department has includ-
ed them among the outstanding"
obligations Of the government.
The half.cent piece WAS the coin Of
the smallest denomination ever made
by this country. It enjoys the dis.
tinction also OF being the first coin
issued, and also tho fret whose de-
nomination was discontinued. The
U. 8. mint was establithed in 17a2, and
copper half.cents and cents were is.
sued in 1898. Half the total number
of half-cents issued were coined prev.
ious TO 1910, after which year their
coinage, with few exceptions, was
limited. None were coined for circula-
tion from 1872 10 1924, nor from 1895
to 1S4S. Finally in 1857 their coinage,
with that OF the big copper cent, was
discontinued. On account Of their
limited issue in the last years Of their
coinage, they practically had disap.
appeared from the channels Of trade.
Tho needs OF adopting the half-cent
as the lowest value computing factor
for coin were made in the early days
OF the republic. Colonial half.cents
and British farthings OF the same com.
mercial value were then in circulation,
aud many articles we're priced and
sold in half cents. With the progress
Of the Eatiou value arose and the
needs Of Z half.cent disappeared and
their use following the first decade Of
the century was almost entirely con.
fined to multiples.
While oil other discontinued types
aud denominations OF United States
coin have found oblivion, the half.
cent 10 the only ono Of which the
treasury reports do not record some
portion OF the issue redeemed. This
singular and unexplained fact has been
one Of frequent comment and inquiry
from mint and treasury officials.
Largo quantities Of the half-cents
are to be found in the stocks Of coin
dealers. The most common dates are
sold at . good premium. and The
extremely rare ones 1rs worth their
