 That was in 1S5s whep Ben Johnson was born in the room in which he has ever since lived in his fathers residence, near Bardstown. He was graduated from St. Mary's college, in Marion county, at the age of 20, and received his diploma from the law school of the University of Louisville four years after. In 1885 young Johnson was returned to the legislature from Nelson county. Two years later he was reelected and chosen speaker of the body It was the legislature that gave James B.

His speech in advocacy of the election of Tilden in 1876 was masterly an argument as ever came from the American stump, and in the Senate he would have been Aldrich and Carlisle combined He is yet living, at near threescore years and ten, but it was only his active outdoor life that preserved him so long.
 When Cleveland became President. in 1893 he appointed Ben Johnson collector of internal revenue of the Fifth Ken lucky district perhaps the second in the Union in the amount of taxes paid. To this office Johnson brought all his capac- ity for business and all his energies a s an executive There was no better conduct ed office in the Union, and it Is doubt less true that Johnson is the best equip ped man In Congress to legislate on in- ternal revenue taxation. He is as familiar with all the laws on that subject as he is with his alphabet. and his clear and convincing discussions of the matter would be invaluable to Congress if it should be attempted to revise the reve- nue laws during Ais service in the House of Representatives.
 In 1906 Ben Johnson was elected to Con gress, and for the reputation he had made as a clear-headed business man he was assigned to the committee on the District of Columbia.

 In order to illustrate and emphasize my views on theological shibboleths l offer the following account of the funeral of a Hebrew child:
 Years ago. when I was pastor of the First Baptist church in the city of Will mington, N. C., I was well acquainted with a prominent business man who was a devout Hebrew. A great afflietion be- fell him; his bright little boy of some years of age died. There was then no Hebrew Rabbi in that city, though the Jews held regular religious services; and these services were, 1 beheve, frequently conducted by my friend, the merchant mentioned above.
 It occurred to me that 1t might be well for me to visit the afflicted family and offer such consolation as the circum- stances would admit of; but as l did not know how visit from 8 Christian min ister would be received, l inquired or an- other Hebrew merchant as to what course l should pursue. under circumstances which were altogether novel to my expe- rience. "Go sir, by all means, said he. You may rest assured that you will be kindly received, and that your visit will be highly appreciated.' And so l went to the house of mourning. There lay the marble form of the light of the house. hold cold in death. The distressed father greeted me warmly, and was greatly af-
