retirement was voluntary, as he de-

of the business interests of Florida.
He has been an earnest worker in
the adjustment of complaints filed
with the commission, always along
conservative lines, and ever seeking
to make the decisions right and just
be they in the favor of the complain
ants or the railroads He was honest
and conscientious, never radical Or
unreasonable, and there is general re-
greet that he has decided to leave the

 I have often measured peoples minds by the view they take of that delightful play of Barrie's. Peter Pan,' and I have always felt hopeless about anybody who could not enter the delightful fun and deep philosophy of that enchanting story.

No better example of the necessity Tor giving children wholesome ideals is to be found than in a recent tragedy which has occurred in Russia. Some Russian chil- dren, aged between and 8, were playing in a courtyard at Kishineff, when one of them, tired of their game, suggested that they should play at courtmartlai. The proposal was received with joy, and tho prisoner the members of the court, the police and the executioner were all ap- pointed. The mock trial was conducted with stately reality. The prisoner, repre- sented by little boy of 8, was sentenced to death The child was bound to an old crate lying in the courtyard the execu- tioner soaked piece of cloth with pe- troleum, placed 1t on the crate and then set fire to it. The flames flew upward. and before help could be obtained the child was burned to death. It does not re- uuire any flight of vivid imagination to realize the state of the country where chiIdren's minds reflect situations of such unutterable horror.

Preachers are too liable to fall into the error of supposing that first-rate literary art is wasted upon the masses. Who are the masses? We almost always think Of
 them as beneath ourselves; and thus we render ourselves liable to fall into the
 most serious blunders in dealing with
 them. In a very important sense we are the masses The masses do appreciate frst-rate art It stirs them, even though they do not know why they are stirred They cannot give scientifically the rela- tions between "volume' density" and mass; but they know that lead is heavy and they are convinced that too many sermons are made out of it.
