Some pious parents. forgive their
children-and then keep on nagging
them. They cannot let closed incl
dent stay closed. They are forever
bringing up past offences to mar the
present peace. Gods better way is to
wipe the slate clean. He forgiyes;
and closes the transaction. That is
why there was need of Calvary. If
man was to be happy it was essential
that some plan should be devised for
the bearing away of the intolerable
load of sin.
Some consequences of sin can no
more be ecaped than scars can be
erased; but this burden may easily be
borne when one is sustained by a sense
of pardon. 1 once met a convict in
the Tenn eSsee State penitentiary who
was smiling when he told me that he
was in for life. I quickly rejoined,
Then you are a Christian" yes"
he said. 81 am. In a drunken fury l
killed a man. The state is now pun
ishing me as I deserve. But I have
made my peace with God. and am
paying my debt to society. and am
happy" No matter what ones lot,
the knowledge that he has been for
given of God and is at peace with
him is a deep-springing JOY, like unto
no other happiness in life. Even after
such a sin as David's the pardoned
penitent can cry;
BLESSED is he whose transgression Is
forgiven,
Whose sin is covered"

GENERAL NEWS GATHERED
ALONG THE RIVE RFRONT

The northeast storm blowing down Ches-
apeake bay for the past two days has
blown away the heavy pail of smoke that
settled on the bay and lower river during
the calm weather of the early part of last
week and made navigation quite difficult.
So thick was the cloud of smoke Monday
night on both river and bay that steam
ers sounded fog whistles and ran as eau
tiously as If in heavy fog. The officers
OH the Norfolk line steamers state that
the odor of burning wood was very plain
in the smoke and that it irritated the
eyes of the men on watch. Tuesday night,
on the way up the bay to this city some
smoke still fingered. but last night the
winds carried it out to sea. The smoke is
said TO come from the burning forests in
the north.
While the receipts Of oysters In the shell
were very light in the twenty-fOur hours
ending this morning. reports from the
lower river oyster beds state that there Is
a large feet of vessels loading there and
that the number of oyster-laden vessels
that will arrive here within the next day
or two will be large. The calm weather
which prevailed on the river since the
opening of the dredging season was
broken early in this week by the coming
of strong northerly winds that gave the
dredging boats the breeze they were look
ing for. so that they were able to work
their dredges and have been catching oys-
tiers in large quantities. Reports of a
scarcity Of oysters on the natural oyster
beds in the lower river this year are de-
clared false. The oysters being taken are
of a fair average size and in flavor are
finer than any that have been caught in
the Potomac in years. This is due. in a
large measure. to the exceptionally dry
summer and fall, that has made the water
of the lower river as salt as that in the
Atlantic itself. The fleet of dredge boats
in the lower river continues very large
and they are still giving the steamboat
masters much trouble.
The little power schooner Martha Davis,
which has been hauled out on the marine
railway at the Alexandria shipyard for
several weeks past being fitted with top
timbers and bends, and having other re-
pair worn done to her, will be completed
this week or early in the coming week
and will be launched. practically ready
for service. Capt. Charley Mckinney of
Alexandria. who purchased her from her
Norfolk owners several weeks ago, will
at once fit the vessel out for service and
will put her in the oyster trade from the
lower Potomac and the bay to the Alex
andria market.
