God for your home? for g. mother and a father, and the memory of their tender ministrations? Not to be grate- fu1 for such a memory would mark us as the most ungrateful of men. The memory of a godly mother and a praying father is the richest heritage a man can take with him through life. Far be it from me to limit the grace of God" once said the great Jerry Mo Auley, but I never yet knew a man to be permanently redeemed who had not a good mother" Not many months ago Charles B. Landis, U. s. congressman from Indiana, questioned Captain Phillip, formerly of the Bat tleship Texas, about that prayer meet ing that was reported to have been held on board the Texas following the captains victory over the Spanish fleet. Then Captain Phillip told MT. Landis how as boy up in New Eng land his mother had taught him to pray, and he had never forgotten the teachings at his mothers knee. Tt is true" said he, we did lift our voices in prayer of thanks to the Almighty God, whose victory it was" How much do we owe God for our own and other New England homes?
 There is only one thing better than the training of Godly parents, and that is the sacrihcial love of Christ How much owest thou for the redemption of Calvary? No one needs to argue With us as to the reality of sin. We know it too we'll It blights, it burns, 1t stings. But there is Christ dying There are many theories of the Atone ment, but I never knew of one big enough to cover the facts. But there are the facts. Christ saw death com ing; He knew it was the will of God; He welcomed it because He under stood that it was the consummation of His work in our behalf. What is it worth to us? Could we repay God the debt? It was John Ruskin who said: There are great many things that God will put up with In the human heart; but there is one thing He will not put up with-a second place !" Might we not go farther, and say that God will put up with no place in the human heart. unless He has complete possession? The least God will accept on our debt is Q life. Not a few min utes now and then; not one day in the week; nor even decently moral life all the time. The least God will &C., cept of us is the whole heart and life given into His hands, and telling posi- titvely for Jesus Christi. Dr. W. j.. Dawson has told the thrilling story of Charles Peace, who became infamous throughout England a few years ago as burglar and murderer. On the way to the scaffold where he paid the penalty for his crimes the prison chaplain offered him what are called "the cancellations of religion" The wretched man turned savagely upon him and said: "Do you believe 1t? Do you believe it? If I believed that I would crawl across England on broken glass on my hands and knees, to tell men 1t was true" Do we owe it to God to tell men it is true?

SEEKING HIS SWEETHEART.
Police Asked by Frenchman to Learn
 Whereabouts.

The police department has been asked to find Cecelia Grauss, the af- f1anced bride of Nicholas Wilmonth, Nancey, France, who mentioned the loss in a pathetic letter to Chief Cowles. Wilmonth met his Prpssian affinity a year ago in Germany. short ly thereafter, Cecelia came to New Ha- ven to work as a domestic, subsequent ly going to Rye, N. Y. A correspon- dence between the two endured nearly six months, at the end of which time the inamorita, for some cause, ceased to write. She disappeared. She is not in Rye, nor is she in New Haven. Chief Cowles says he doesn't know where she is.

A few days later 1t was announced
that Col Wellesley, who in his boy

Duelling is even more strictly for

English diplomatic service, or an Off
Ger of the English arsly or navy, re-

Frederick Wellesley, brother of the
late Earl Cowley, and now husband
of the widowed Duchess of Yelling
| ton, was able to save him from a fate
such as this while acting as charge
d 'affaires of Great Britain at Vienna
some IL or Is years ago. Col. Welles-
ley, who was also A. d. G. to Queen
Victoria, became involved in the Aus
trian capital in quarrel about wom-
an with an Austrian nobleman, Count
| K, who resented to such an extent
his behavior, as well as his remarks,
that he struck him with his glove
across the face and challenged him to
fight. Wellesley refused, however, to
accept the challenge on the ground
that by so doing he would render him
self liable to dismissal from the army,
owing to the fact that the English
articles of war prescribe the penalty
of being cashiered for every officer
involved in a duel either as a princi-
pal or as a second.

Wellesley was at once relieved of

issimo of the British army. He sent
for Col. Wellesley and asked him if
