LOST, sTRAYED OR STOLEN.
T. L. Robinson of keokuk, Disappears
whereabouts Unknown by Fam
iIy and Police.


Keokuk, Feb. 16.-T. l.. Robinson
residing with his family at los South
Tenth street has disappeared and his
whereabouts are unknown by both his
family and the police officers.
Mr. Robinson left his home Sunday
shortly after noon and has not been
seen or heard from since and his fam
lily is in suspense over his absence.
He asked his wife for money Sunday
noon to go to a nearby cigar store to
buy some tobacco He went out in
the best of spirits and his family
thought nothing of It when he had not
returned by supper time, thinking that
perhaps he was at the home of a
friend or at one of the cigar stores.
| When he did not show up at night,
however, the members of the family
became anxious about his non-appear-
ance and yesterday the police officers
we're notified of his disappearance.
A search by the police over the city,
however, has not resulted in finding
any clew to his location at the present
/ time. Yesterday noon, however, a
| friend informed the wife of the miss
ing man that he had been seen near
the depot Sunday afternoon, asking q
friend for money and stating that lie
was going to Quincy or Palmyra. Moth
ing further an this was heard UP

have better preaching in the pulplts'
and better cooperation from the pews.
Secular though his end OF the work
was, Stephen could preach on occas-
ion. So the present-day laymen are
proving There is a tendency, happily
being strengthened, to man outlying
stations and missions, not by attempt
ing to support in them half-starved

qualified laymen to do the work OF

ministration. | know a country church,

Especially in the southern part OF

The First Martyr.
"A man must live" runs common
saying, with which we palliate or eX-
cuse all sorts Of ignoble conduct. One
cannot stand beside young Stephen
and say that. 1t is not true. a man
must not live There is no law IN
heaven or earth that requires that he
must live. A man must be true, and
must speak his message, and do his
own work, and play the man. Wheth-
er he live or die is the Lords affair,
and not his.
Life is not worth purchasing at the
price Of honor. Stephen showed how
sweet and glorious it is to die, a
martyr to truth. His end was the end
of man and a hero They stoned
Stephen calling upon the Lord, and
saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
And he kneeled down and cried with a
loud voice, Lord lay not this sin to
their charge And when he had said
this, he fell asleep"
Probably no one will speak or write
upon this lesson without quoting ''The
blood of the martyrs is the seed of the
| church" And it is. But not in any
direct fashion, as some of US suppose
who think that every time martyr
falls, up springs church In the
thick Of the bewildering transforms

are only beginning to see any direc,

Stephens death links on to Sauls life

church might not have had its apostle
Paul. Certainly it would have missed
an example that has been tonic anc

IF more transcendent proof of
the claims of prohibition as fun
damental of government is demand
ed, it will be, found in the deca-

dom of God. Its diapason is one
loud Thou shalt not'-not the

Curse of Rum
The modern Christian crusade
against the curse of rum, and the
effort to destroy its reign by stat
utes of prohibition, is not only in
the line of the advance of secular
freedom, but is also in line with
the. advance Of the kingdom of
God. AS the fierce inhibitions of
Sinai were finally succeeded by the
octave harmonies of the sermon on
the Mount, SO we may hope that
some day the stern statutes of pro-
hibition against the liquor traffic
may pass into that happy unity of
public opinion which will make in
