RACE BILLS ARE Law
PASSED BY NEW YORK SENATE
AND SIGNED BY GOVERNOR.
NOT ONE VOTE TO SPARE
Senator FoeIker, Near Collapse from

eide Issue Of Remark
able Struggle.

Albany, N. Y.-After struggle, the
like of which no man In or about the
legislature has ever seen, or expects
to see again, the famous Agnew-Hart
anti-racktrack gambling bills are now
laws of the state of New York.
Gov. Hughes, by his signature affixed
to each of the bills at 4:35 p. m,
Thursday crowned legislative VIC
tory, the brilliancy of which, eQualed
only by its unexpectedness, Is con-
coded even by those who fought him
in the matter to the last ditch.
A few minutes before two p. m. the
truly extraordinary session Of the leg
islature of 1908 adjourned without
day.
The decisive votes, which. passed the
bills, were cast by Senator Otto G.
Foelker of the Fourth senate district
of Brooklyn, who crawled from sick
bed and made a 60-mile railroad jour-
ney to do 1t, SO weak and distressed In
mind and body that he seemed on the
verge of utter collapse, and by new
senator, William c. Wallace Of Nj
agra Falls.
Gov Hughes late in the afternoon
recorded his appreciation Of Senator
Foelker's action in the following let
ter:
my Dear SENATOR desire to ex-
press my appreciation of your heroic
action In coming to the senate this
morning. Your courageous perform
ance of duty at so grave risk de-
serves the highest praise and will long
be pointed to as a fine illustration OF
fidelity and patriotic devotion to the
interests of the state. trust that you
will not suffer any Ill effects and that
you will soon be restored to your full
health and vigor. With assurance OF
my high esteem and best wishes, am.
Faithfully yours,
CHARLES E. HUGHES"
There was no surprise in the vote
of Senator Wallace, who from the out
set had been definitely pledged to the
support Of the governors recommends
ton in this matter. Every other sena-
tor, including Foelker. voted as he did,
pro or contra, when the bills were be-
fore the regular session in April, and
they passed by the precise constitu-
tional majority of 26 to 25-not one
vote too many or too few.

THE STORY.

r. HE king had seen people die be-
! fore, but never had he beheld such
deathbed as that. He had stood by
the couch of his father, Jehoahaz, as
he had passed from this life to the
great beyond. He had seen that help
less, haunted look in the deep-set eyes
over which the misty film of. death
was gradually creeping. He had
heard the words of regret over the
life lived and those Of fear In the face
of impending death There was moth
Ing of hope or comfort there. Only
darkness and despair.
But how different was the deathbed
of the prophet Elisha. Word had
come one day all unexpected and sud
den that the aged prophet was sick
and the king had gone thither. Little
contact had he had with the prophet
during his life, He had treated hin
with indifference and disdain, con
tent to live his life Of wicked pleas
ure, and unmindful of the rebukes and
entreaties Of this aged servant of God
To be sure he was familiar with al
the wonderful history of Elishas serv
ices to Israel, of how time and time
again, when famine and war menacet
the life of the nation, the prophet hat
interposed in the name of his God and
brought deliverance. But free from
any serious troubles in his own king
dom and at peace with all the nations
about, King Joash had seen no occa
sion to bother himself about thu
prophet.
The only time he had ever knowr
his father, Jehoahaz, to humble him
self before Elisha had been when tn,
Syrian hosts had threatened to de
stroy the nation, and well he remem
bered how in the strength Of the prom
Use Of the prophet his father had gon,
out and won hard-earned victor,
over the forces OF the king CT Syria
But no such dangers had threatened
him to drive him to the prophet, an,
20 he had. a. ~e have said. treated thu
prophet With indifference and DID
dain.

SERMON ETTE.

Last days come to all, but to
none do they bring such COM
fort and sweetness az to the one
who has walked with God.
Last days arc not necessar-
lily fruitIess days, for even from
a sick bed the servant OF God
may prove the mouthpiece OF
God speaking words Of admoni-
tlon and prophecy.
Physical pain and the ebbIng
of Iife's current cannot prevent
tho true child Of God from
rounding out hls mission In
life.
During the long years Of serv-
Ice az prophet. In Israel Elisha
had seen a steady and sure de-
cline In the religious and moral
tone Of the people, and he knew
Of tho ultimate national saIam-
ity which was to come with the
scattering Of the people through
all the nations about, but not
withdrawing all this he saw the
final triumph Of God and his
Righteousness; no realized that
though men failed, God would
not; he understood the eternal
truth that mans wiekedness
might delay, but could not
thwart the Divine will, thus was
he able during those dark days
Of spiritual decline to keep
cheerful and hopeful. And Il Is
this realization on the part Of
the servant Of God Of the ultl-
mate triumph Of the Divine will
and purpose In the world which
makes Of them optImists instead
Of pessInists.
Not many years ago woman
who had been an earnest and
faithful and efficient worker In
the slums of New York took her
own life, owing to the depres-
sion which had come to her be-
cause the task Of uplifting the
people seemed so utterly hope
less. How different Il would
have been had she seen with
Gods eye and realized that be-
You'd the span of the human life,
and above the plans Of the hu-
man mind God rules and moves.
We all need with Browning to "see
that God Is In his heavens, and
that all 10 we'll with the world"
Not we'll In the sense that the
best has yet been realized, but
we'll In the sense that God is
slowly but surely working out
his glorious purposes In the
world which are to find their .
ultimate elimination In the COM
Ing Of the Christ again to the
world to rule as the world has
never yet been ruled.
Deathbeds are piteous, In
deed, when the dying one real
ICES that he has lived apart from
God and has played a losing
game. He has not buiIded with
God In this life and has no place
with God in the life to which the
soul Is soon to pass.
But when ones heart and his
purposes are linked with those
Of the Divine life Is made full
with the eternal mission which
death does not end, but only en-
larges.
