AN INTERESTING SERMON.
By Rev. Isreal Putnam.

Nothing of all this. for a moment,
tdrned Him from his path of love and
duty, His last words almost, like his
whole life, were prayer for those who
returned Him evil for good. He was
absolutely superior to everything mar
row, local, SO that He Himself, Jew
according to the flesh, founded re-
ligiou in which all mankind are
common brotherhood: Aud his digni
ty, calmness and self possession before
rulers sets Him above them all. His
freedom from superstition in an age
which was superstitious almost beyond
example; His superiority to the merely
ritual and external in an age when
rites and externals we're the sum of
religion; His profound teaching of the
Holy Spirit at time when very little
if really anything at ali was said
about Him; all these, not to mention
the many Others, explain largely the
mysterious attraction of his character
and wonderful career.
When we turn from his character to
his teachings the claim of bis Life on
our reverent, careful and earnest study
is further greatly strengthened.
Never man spake like this man. 10
Him we owe the spreading of whatever

But Jesus Christ brought the char

The Old Testament calls Him the God
Of Abraham. Isaac and Jacob, but
Jesus Christ proclaimed Him the God
of the nations. the common Father of
all mankind. The principles of
Christianity are as sublime as this
exalted conception of God and spring,

the child She had been at my house
several times, once as "asnei
woman, trying to get lhior nia,ioii
about this expected child and had 50

A. As soon as the mother was

my house and lived for several
months.
And upon cross-eXamination, she
further testified.
O. What understanding did you
have with the mother of the child as
TO its disposition at the time of its
birth?
A. She, the mother. when she
came to my house, was of the opin-
ion that the child was in the keeping
of the woman who had arranged to
care for her. She after awhile,
wanted to see the child and asked me
repeatedly to let her know where II
was. She was not in the very best
of health, and did not care to tell
her the truth for this reason and the
further reason that | knew ii would
upset her to know that the other

ceased to upbraid myself for having
allowed myself to be deceived and
thus break my promise TO Mrs. Pope

This, indeed, is one of the most re-

Remarkable Case is
Ended.-AWard of
Child to Mother

After long trial, the little daugh-
ter of A. c. CAD Popejoy. formerly
popular restauranteur of Ely, was
given by Judge J. P. O'Brien of Tono-
pah, into the care of her natural
mother, Mrs. Clara Popejoy. The
case which was tried partly in Gold
field and partly in Tonopah, Is one
presenting features of interest such
as rarely are brought into a legal ac-
ton.
Judge O'Brien was called upon to
act the role of Solomon, both the
first and second wives of the father
claiming the child. The decision
rendered was popular. The Tonopah
Sun gives the opinion of Judge
O'Brien as follows:
This is controversy to deter
mine the right to the custody of Irene
Popejoy, sometimes called Anna Clar-
ice Popejoy, a minor child of the age
of about % months. Two writs of
habeas corpus were issued, one upon
the petition of A. c. Popejoy, the al
legged father of said child, and one
upon the petition of Clara. Popejoy.
its mother. BY consent, both appli-
cations were heard together. No evil
dence having been introduced in be-
half of the petition of A. C. Popejoy.
1t is unnecessary to consider it, and
| will. therefore, confine my observ-
atoms to the application of Clara
Popejoy. The return to both writs
made by respondent, Elizabeth vi.
Popejoy, to whom the writs were d.
rected, denies that Irene Popejoy is
Illegally restrained of her liberty and
alleges that Immediately after the
birth of this child 1t was abandoned
by its parents and the custody. con-
troll care and education OF Il given
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1908-05-09


to her, and that she has ever since
had and now has the care and GUS
tody of said child and has ever since
supported and maintained 1t, and
she further alleges, in said return,
that the father of said child gave
and transferred its care and custody
to her and that the petitioner, Clara
Popejoy, acquiesced therein and
abandoned said child to said respond
ent.
The evidence shows without con-
fiict that Irene Popejoy is the illegi-
innate child of the petitioners. Clara
Popejoy and c. A. Popejoy, and that
it was born at a maternity hospital
in St Louis, Mo-, on June 4,a19O6.
The story of how respondent. Eliza
beth NJ. Popejoy. came into possess
sion of the child is best told in the
language of Mrs. w. S. Drake, the
midwife, who was present at the ac-
couchment and whose deposition was
read upon this hearing:
G. DO you know Mrs. A. c. Pope
joy, who was before her marriage,
Miss Clara Davis?
A. Yes. intimately
@. State whether or not you
were present at the maternity hospi-
tai, 2O20 Olive street, st. Louis, Mo-,
on or about the 4th day of June,
1906, when a girl child was born to
the said Mrs. Popejoy.
A. Yes.
O. If your answer to the last in-
terrogatory is yes. state IL you know
what was done with the girl child
