The bridge is of French design, being
similar in appearance to the many

ornate concrete piers, resting on piles.

Why Johns Faith Was Changed


keep it intact. They trusted as only a sim
pie and rural people can. Apparently all
was well with them. Such abiding faith,
Such confiding love!
The two children had entered school,
Every morn Mary watched through the win
dow the hurrying of little feet as they
tripped lightly out of sight. How earnestly
her prayers followed them! How lovingly
she met them at the door on their return
and kissed them! Yet she never forgot
John, patient, toiling John, ON whose strong
arm she trustingly leaned But one evening
she could not meet them. She had such a
cold The cough never left her. Her step
became less bouyant; her face lost it's
freshness; and the luster left her eyes,
John saw only too well the approaching
end He knew of the hereditary faint i'm
her ancestry, but had hoped that Mary
would escape it, For the first time real
sadness entered into his life. Here they
had labored cheerfully together for ten
years and had anticipated ripe old age to
enjoy the fruits of their labor; but now
John could plainly see that it all was but
vain dream. He prayed; it availed him
nothing. The god in whom he had trusted
and credited with every blessing, now
seemed afar off. Now, if ever, he needed
friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
1t now occurred to him for the first time
that he never knew of a prayer that was
answered. 1t shook his faith. He had read
of Lazarus life being restored to him. Was
not Mary's life as precious that of Laza-
rus, the bachelor? She died
The rural church house was filled to over
flowing. The bell tolled dolefuly the APP
proach of the procession that brought what
was left of Mary. In came the preacher,
the pallbearers, the casket, followed by John
and his two little motherless children. What
change.
John had been to other funerals before
1t was then to him a matter of course
He thought then that god in his infinite
wisdom knew best. But now when it had
been brought home to him, he viewed it
differently Mary had been faithful, low
ing wife and had implicitly trusted him,
while he in turn had been true to her. Now,
why should they at this time be so ruth
lessly separated?
The funeral sermon, instead of being a
was an insult to both John and
the memory of Mary While the preacher
tried to portray the wisdom of God, and held
out the idea that whatever is, is best, doubts

Short Freethought Story Illustrating How
Faith Must Give Way to Fact and the
influences exerted on the Mind.
(By John H. Schwartz.)

1t was spring. Bubbling brooks had
broken their icy letters and were hurry
ing toward the sea- The blue bird and wren
had already settled the contest for the hole
in the old apple tree Nature had taken on
new life on every side, and the gentle
zephyrs blew softly from the southland
scattering their garnered fragrance lavishly
everywhere. Johns simple life was in per
feet tune with his surroundings Merry
hearted he whistled away at his work. Time
flew swiftly by, and the day was fast ap-
preaching which to him would mark the
most ecstatic moment of his life. This
thought alone thrilled his soul to it's sweet
est depths.
For five short years, to him, he had wooed
Mary, and through all that time his sole
thought was of her. The little farm he
bought, and the coy little cottage he built,
was but for Mary. Patiently, happily he
pursued his labors through storm and sun
shine through success and adversely, and
the one name that illumined his way was
Mary. Soon she would be his wife, his own
dear Mary.
John and Mary had been married but
year when sweetfaced. blue-eyed little girl
came to live with them. Their welded life
had been one continuous love-dream. Moth
ing to mar their happiness Whatever John
did was always best, and Mary's doings were
never wrong. But the arrival of the baby
was love consummated. New hopes, new
desires, new expectations were born with it,
and now life to them was truly a reality and
worth the living.
Two more years rolled rapidly around
and little boy, a perfect cherub, Joined
them. John was almost overcome with joy
and the happiness of Mary was unbounded.
What a family! What a perfect family!
What a complete family Father mother,
son, daughter! They could not have chosen
better themselves. 1t must have been gods
blessing. They had been taught of the good
ness of god at mothers knee.
A few Sundays later saw John and Mary
taken into the church, and afterward at
tended faithfully all the means of grace.
Over and over again they thanked god for
their happy family, and oft they prayed to

crept into that honest breast of John. Was
it best for Mary, who, with her last breath,
begged to stay with John and her children?
Was it best that his days should be sad
dened and darkened forever? Was it best
that two little children should be deprived
of mothers tender care? Was it best for
everybody that Mary should be removed
from among her friends and her gentle in
luence be forever lost?
Heart-broken, he approached the casket
to take the last look at her. AS he bent
over her lifeess form he called to her
again and again, but she answered not
Those lips that had so readily answered
every summons were now forever sealed in
death. He stood there transfixed to the spot
till kind friends led him away.
Then the grave, the cold and cruel gravel
How the heavy clods Knocked his every sob,
The little mound of earth soon hid Mary
from view, and as John turned disconsoate
away he felt that the best of earth was
irretrievably lost
John became a changed man. To him
separation here was heart-rending, but what
would this be, If there is conscious future
life, compared to eternity? The Christian
religion grew loathsome to him. 1t was no
consolation at death. 1t totally failed to
soothe. 1t was too narrow 1t taught that
most families are broken through all etern-
nifty. 1t was to cruel for John. He resolved
to investigate. He formed new associations
Men whom he had before Stunned he now
sought. He found their philosophy of life
and death more reasonable and more COM
fortng than he had himself heretofore en-
tertained.
Spring returned. Flowers boomed again.
John took his little boy and girl and a
basket of wreaths to that consecrated spot
SO dear to them He lifted not his eyes
heavenward, nor did he fall upon his knees
before god, but reverently bowed his head
in sacred remembrance of her who rested
under that halowed mound by which they
stood and thus he spoke: Dear children,
here rests your mother. We thought her
the best and sweetest cerature in all the
world, and so she was to us, but as we look
around we see the grass grows as green,
the flowers bloom as richly, the sun shines
as brightly upon other mothers graves as
upon this. This teaches us that nature pays
her final tribute to all alike; that death is
the great leveller and equalizer of mankind
The thought should comfort us that there is

NEW YORK, Mar. 3.-Henrietta

that she kissed herself into trouble.
Magistrate House, in the Harlem court,
listened so long and so attentively TO
the story of the continued kissing bee
in the home OF Mrs. Sarah Rosenberg
