 When the Rev. Benjamin Dennis, Beattie's spiritual adviser, arrived at the penitentiary from the Governors office, he found the prisoners sister, Miss Hazel Beattie, in the death cell talking to her brother. He did not break the news then, but waited for the girl to go. Then, in the death cell, with no one else near, the min ister -old Beattie of his fate. The guariks reported that Beattie, who had been in a cheerful mood all morning, smiled. Those who know him believe he will walk to his death with that smile on his lips.

 There will always be thOSe," he said, "who say that this doctrine and this kind of discussion savors so much agitation that it spreads general dis content and results in no good. The man of Galilee once faced this charge and answered., T have not come to destroy but to fulfill
 s'Conservatism he tore down and said; You are destroying your an- cient faith. You are leading the peo- ple away. You are killing your bus iness.' And for this, they crucified him.
 ..It is true that he insurged. that he destroyed and tore down, that he changed the order of things. But he tore down only that which ought to have been destroyed. The Nazarine demonstrated that progressiveness without destruction is a meaningless platitude."
 He described the interference of Federal courts in litigation which should be in the control of the states as the greatest abuse in government by injunction"
