 strength of person and of will that drove Sheehan from the dictatorship in one memorable half-hour, 1t is strange to look upon this short, gray man, almost little in appearance. He has shrunhen together a couple of inches, as is the way of age. It is announced that he Is going immedi- ately back to England It matters lit tie now to political New York whether he does or does not. The occasion of his coming-the funeral service of his son-precludes criticism of his pres ence, and the newspapers that would have bitterly attacAed his reappear- ance for any other reason have treat ed him kindly.
 Frank Croher, killed by tho over turning of his automobile upon the Ormond beach in Florida was chip of the old block. The Croker boys did not prove scholars. Frank did well in business, as who could not with the political influence that placed his firm in place of vantage for getting contracts? But as his father was more interested in horses than in real estate auctions, his ostensible business, so Frank was by preference sport. Nor did a bolder ever live. His dashes with automobiles. against desperate odds, will be remembered as long as Hamilton Fish's teats of pluck and strength in midnight escapadss with policemen and cab drivers, before the Spanish bullet laid him low in Cuba. Even when he went to his death Croker proved the mettle of his mak- ing. His last act needed quick eye, instant decision, herculean strength, perfect fearlessness-the turning of an automobile at full speed to avoid run ming ever another man. It was an ending as heroic in its way as that of young Fish.

Mrs. George J. Steese, of 7cr coburn

letter OF another of those remarkable
cures of torturing, disfguTing skin
humors daily made by Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointm ent,

failed: 81 feel it my duty to parents
of other poor suffering babies to tell
you what Cuticura has done for my
little daughter. She broke ont all
over her body with huror, and we
used everything recommended, but
without results. I called in three doc
tors, they all claimed they could help
her, but she continued to grow worse.
Her body was mass of sores, and her
little face was eaten away, her ears
looked as if they would drop of.
Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, and before had
used half of the cake of soap and
box of. ointment the sores had all
healed, and my little ones face and
body was as clear as newborn babes.

far as | believe it should &C. 1t rests
everything upon the theistic idea. For
that reason it should commend itself TO
every believer in a personal God. 1t
could very fairly base itself upon the
recognition of the Christians God. This
nation is not neutral or atheistic. 1T
is Christian nation. Its history law
usages. life are based upon the essen
tial fundamental truths of Christianity
Its institutions should be held to its
original foundations. This does not at
all involve q union of church and state.
The church of which | am a minister has
memories and convictions which make
uJ bitter antagonists of such an effort.
But it does involve the union of Chris
tianity and the state just as it also in
wolves the union of Christianity and the
business and the society and the book
and the home.
There can be no question as To the
right to introduce these teachings into
the public school. The school is distinct
ly for the purpose OF making good citi-
zens. That is the only reason for it's
existence. Good citizenship is not in
intellectual attainment but character A
man may be good mathematician or
geographer and yet a bad citizen. The
state is unfaithful which does not care
for the character of its people The
state has right to do what Ii deems
best for its own protection, even though
some of its citizens dissent The Quak-

night.
None of the petitinD5 being circulated
at the instance of the ministers con-
ference have reached Secretary Brod-

put out by the Seventh Day Adventists
said today that the result of their eff

tonight.
And so the matter stands.
1t is believed that at the next meet
ing of the board, to be held one week
from tonight, both sides of the question
Will be represented by numerously
signed petitions, and that then the
board will have some definite basis to
proceed upon. 1t is not thought that
any members will take the initiative in
the matter, and it seems to be generally
understood that any action by the
board viii be based upon petitions
which may be presented to 1t.

topic are presented by The Times to-
day, widely different, but both coming
from pastors of prominent churches.
