LOGICAL ARRANGEMENT OF THOUGHT

A Couple of Illustrative Incidents In &
Preachers Experience.
The appended anecdotes concerning tn
late President Robinson are given To-
public as too characteristic and too goo
to be lost. They are from the recollection
of the Rev. DR.. A. j. Sage:

ful logical arrangement of thought IN dis
course, when he drew the following Illus
tration from his own experience: once,
when I was preaching, q peculiar incident
occurred. I had gone through my intro
duction and first division, when my mem
ory failed me. I could not recall my second
division, but instead Of It came up the
first. point Of the application. After vainly
trying to recall the missing head, l stated
TO the congregation that for a special rea.
son I would pass at onoe to the application.
I did so, and when I had discussed the
FIRST point, the missing part OF my dis
course came back to me and l went
through it all without further difficulty.
On reaching home 1 set myself down to
INQUIRE the meaning of this incident, when
I discovered that that which had planned

on the Importance Of keeping the mind
free from preoccupying and disturbing

my mind, and In spite Of my best efforts

The law against murder ought to be repealed
AS the law now stands the man slayer Is SUB
iected to the indlgnity OF being arrested and
must suffer the humiliation OF being locked
I'D for q night or two before he can go before a
Judge who Is sure to order his release on bail
Not 80 long ago a man used the ladies bath

gentleman objected. The man slew the gen.
tlemsn because he told him what he thought,
and the man slayer had to apply for ball
This was unnecessary. The slayer should be
allowed the privilege Of sending the Judge
word, tina he will appear in Court at the pro-
per time, and show the necessity for his act
AS the Judge generally seems 10 take the
part OF the living as against the dead, the law
might be amended SO as 10 save the man

In South Carolina, for instance, men are

white men are hung on an average OF about

for crime against the person, is a farce, With

Why should any citizen have the right to
