On the second point Judge Baker said:
True it is that If one corporation uses

the individual who is merely said to

be deprived of hearing-be condemned
to punishment without being tried, con-

convicted be reached for punishment. not
by Indictment, trial and conviction in due

civil proceedings in aid of execution? Can

We have here the picture of a dis
appointed man. 1t had been promised
to him that he should become the
father of mighty nation. Old age
had crept upon him and there was no
hope that that promise would ever be
fulfilled. He had been prospered.
He was a leader of men. - He was a
recognized power-a dangerous man
with which to cope. He had brought
his enemies, great and powerful, be-
meath his feet. His name was great
and honored. Kings bowed down be-
fore him. He was rich, too. in cattle,
sheep, lands and servants. The prizes
of life he had seized and held in an
iron grip. But the promise that had
been made had not been fulfilled. No
offspring had brought JOY into his
heart. No sound of childish prattle
was heard in his tent. No boys shout
at eventide rang in his ears. He was
childless. It was the one sad note in
lis Allo. Anu On 1uAo Alsu1 uo pOuIou
into the ear of the Lord the tale of
his keen disappointment. Note the
tragic. poignant pathos: "What wilt
Thou give me. seeing l 60 childless.
Behold. to me Thou hast given 40
seed.''
Does there not seem to be something
in every life?-a skeleton in the
closet in almost every home? Does
anyone seem to be exempt? David
had the accusing memory of his awful
crime. Nehemiah was sad as he stood
in, the presence of the king. Jeremiah
said, ooh that my head were waters
and mine eyes fountain of tears.
that 1 might weep day and night for
the slain of the daughter of my
people - Paul had thorn in the flesh.
Dickens home life was domestic pur-
Ratory. John Wesley endured dom
iciliary damnation. General Grant
was once caught weeping, he had a
daughter badly married. The great
King of the London pulpit once said
1--WE ministers often forget that there
is a broken heart in every pew. "
Great throbs rive the heart of Abram
as he says: 'eLord God. what wilt

Abram has talked to God now God
talks to Abram.
He leads him forth abroad. The
holy beauty of the even tide awakens
responsive notes in the heart. All ma
ture calls to pious meditation and
communion with the Unseen. The
