THE THOUGHT OF HE'LL.
Not More Uncomfortable In This Age Than
In the Past.


To THE EDITOR OF TIE SUN-Sir: The
Rev. Walter J. Shanley marshals an array
Of CHASTITY citations from the Scriptures In
proof OF The doctrine OF an eternal hell.
What a textual critic possessed OF adequate
learning in Biblical philOlogy might have
to say 10 some. nay. to most OF these
excerpts, might prove interesting and
perhaps very uncomfortable reading for
Father Stanley: but il is TO his own con-
clusion. with it's arrogant and uncharitabe
assumptions, that | would like to call the
attention OF seriC us readers OF The Sun.
Father Stanley remarks:
The thought OF hell Is uncomfortable In this
age OF luGury. woridliness and crime. As the
wicked say in their hearts there Is no God, 30 TOO
they say there Is no he'll

With February almost upon us, with
the midyear examinations over and
commencement day only five months
ahead comes to us the following notice:
-ftnses. N. Y. January ~. 1910 The Cornell

A catalogue Of Columbia reached us
o few days ago; those Of Yale and
Harvard have not come to us yet, If
they have been published. Apparently
with the increase in size the date Of
issue of these necessary publications is
pushed for ward into the year; they
used to appear in October, then No
vember, next at Thanksgiving, then
Christmas, then New Years, now Feb
ruary and the midyears; soon we may
expect the appearance of the catalogue
for the past year "a a part OF the COM
mencement festivities.
The chief purpose of a catalogue
we take it, is to give timely information
regarding the officers and students
of the university and where they are

subjects and conditions for prizes,
regulations regarding scholarships,
conditions for admission and so on.
The simple college catalogues in the
course of time have become manuals
running to 500 and 900 pages. They

Meyer and the Recalcitrants.

Referring to the case Of Chief Con-
structor CAPPs and Paymaster-General
ROGERS, we might easily call attention
to certain amusing features which are
not without significance. For example,
they dwell upon the importance if not
the necessity Of civilian" control Of
the navy yards, and yet for themselves
and for all purposes Of the boudoir
and the dining room and the social
procession generally they insist upon
titles-such as Rear Admiral-and assert
their claims thereto in many strenuous
ways. Apparently they want to be
Admirals in society and civilians in the
navy yards and before the committees
of Congress. 1t is somewhat acrObstic
performance if well done, but they are
equal to it,
We have already stated the PROPOSE
ton so far as it concerns them, however,
and there is nothing more 10 be said.
1t is not indispensable to throw these
sidelights on their little Inconsistencies,
which after all are purely personal
and spring from no higher source than
harmless vanity. The real question, IA
we have shown, is whether Secretary
MEYER shall enter upon the exploitA-
ton of his scheme of reformation with
hostile instruments to depend upon
Caps and ROGERS can readily block
his progress, or at least so deeply OBJ
scure the outlines OF his plans as to
make them unintelligible to the country
They have argued against him before
Congress, and il is quite reasonable
to suppose that they will obstruct and
becloud his work at every point. In
that event the Meyer scheme of reor-
ganization will never commend itself
to the people at large, for the people
will never be enabled to see il as it
should be and as he intended it. and a
false cry of futility will be raised upon
the basis OF perverted exposition.
We do not see how Secretary MEYER
in justice to himself and to the service
can rest under these disqualifying
conditions. He has formulated plans
which meet the appreciation of the best
men in the service, and he proposes TO
try them out. He must do it TO perfec-
ton or not at all. The corollary is 40
obvious that it does not seem to need
the smallest illustration.

The New County President.

In addition TO many other admirable
and interesting qualifications for his
new and considerable task, we note
with unfeigned pleasure that the next
president of the Republican county
committee possesses a complete mas
terry Of the noble Persian language. In
the days that are to follow we VEN
ture the modest prediction that from
this source the Hon. LLOYD c. GRIsCoM
viii derive a solace and support not
easily to be exaggerated.
A complete understanding OF the mo-
tives and reasonings which dictated the
recent Mayoralty nomination of the
Hon. OTTo T. BARNARD will make OBJ
vious the explanation of the selection
OF the Hon. LLOYD c. GRIsCoM A dis
credited and personally obnoxious set

their control of the local machine by

manding general admiration. But the
machine which has fastened upon him
TO raise it from the gutter remained in
the slime, which was its natural cir
cumstance. We think the Hon. LLOYD
G. GRIscoM will be fortunate if from an
experience well nigh identical with that
Of Mr.. Barnard he escapes with equal
honor.
Endeavoring at the same time to imi-
tate real politician although lacking
the necessary brains, and to simulate a
sincere reformer although destitute of
the requisite morals, the Hon. HERBERT
PARSONS has brought the local Republi-
can organic alton TO the lowest estate il
has occupied in recent years. To the
overwhelming demand of the decent men
OF his party Mr. PARSONS has at length
yielded and retired from an Office he has
long disgraced. But in retiring he has
left the actual control of the party in
the hands OF men who have served as
his tools, precisely as he has been him.

The Story Of a Dying Wait
A PRIZE STORY.
By Mrs. Blanche Ammen Blake.

It was while was resident physician at
the Emergency Hospital, that the follow
ing case came under my notice. There
had been brought into the charity ward a.
boy of about twelve years OF age. He was
badly mangled, and knew from the mo-
ment saw him, that he could not recov-
er; though he might last several weeks.
Jimmie" said one day, chow did you
happen to get all broken up this way?"
well, yer see, I'm newsboy on the P.
& R. road, and l was passin' through the
train lappin all the latest novels. yer
know how they does in trains). And as l
was agoin' from one car to the next with
my arms piled high, the train give lurch
and my books took tumble; next l
murmured, II spose must have fell over

you had better have lost them, Jim
mie, I" I said stroking his thin little hands.
"Oh, but yer don't know what time
there'd been with the boss when checked
up" His eyes flashed, and his hand
trembled with emotion. "Them's awful
times, sir, when yer comes in short. |"
Feeling that he had talked enough, l went
on down the ward examining others. AS
each day passed, he grew steadily worse;
checking up" Sometimes hej would cry
piteously, IAN short, tell me, tell me,
am short?" then there would be inco-
herent words and means ending, often
times, in heart-rending sobs. / concluded
that he must be worrying about those
books, therefore decided, the next time
his m nd was clear, to set him at rest
about them.
So said to him. Jimmie, you needn't
worry any more about those books. I've
paid the debt, you won't come in short. "
He looked at me blankly for moment; !;
then he sighed, II aint worryin' about no
books"
"Well," said, sitting down beside him,
what is it? Tell me-"
He lay perfectly quiet for time, and l
wondered, as stroked the long locks back
| from the oldish face, what burden there
could be that could so torture the soul Of
this diving child. Suddenly, he turned
| his large hollow eyes upon me, and looked
Ipiercingly into my face-''Tm ayoin' to
die-I know that straight"
1--WE are doing the best we can for you,
Jimmie"
"Oh, I'm not akickin' about you, nor the
nurse. neither; you've been real good to
me. 1 wisht could tell yer, though, all
what worries me; but you've no time to
listen to the likes Of me-" he added, turn
| ing wearily from me.
Ilonged to shed some comfort into the
little life that was slipping away so fast,
so I said, Jimmie, tell me; II have time" "
Then he told me, his story-words that
touched my heart as nothing else had ever
done.

sins, and to cleanse u5 from all unrigheous'

Jimmie listened eagerly. tears trickling
down his cheeks-"And I've never done
nothir' fer him." he said, slowly"

"Oh, sir" he cried, his countenance
radiant.
Presently I left him; and going to my

down, shaken by emotion. I could not ut

prayed that, In spite OF myself, He would
