and frey untamed lions, says the
Nashville Tennessean.
The boys of the. place were mad
with excitement, and the son of a
close-fsted farmer rushed up to his
father and demanded a quarter
with which to enter the show.
"What!" cried the old skinfint.
"Please, father" came the meek
and mild request.

When the Romance Faded.

Congressman Jim Mann was on

couldn't help hearing the conver-

right behind him. They looked
like married folks, says Mack's

on their honeymoon, as Mann
learned by deduction. The wom-
an laid down newspaper she had
been reading and remarked to her
husband:

SIN BRINGS DEATH.

There is nothing truer than the
statement at the head of this edi-
torial, says the Midland Methodist.
1t is not true because we say SO,
not true because Christianity says
SO, not true because the Bible says
SO, but all say it because it is true.
The man who enters the service of
sin enters at the highest. point Of
his moral life, and every step he
takes is a downward step. "Sin,
when it is finished bringeth forth
death" "The. wages of sin is
DEATH" And there is no law in
heaven or earth that can change
that truth. Sin brings death to
the man, to the State, and to the
nation; and IL it is persisted in,
there is no escape from it's doom.
Its degradation is not only for time
but for eternity. 1t leads to a hell
thatis bottomless. What strange
fascination sin has for men! They
will pursue it when they see it's
."dead corpses" all around them,
God calls, the Church calls, friends
call, love calls on men to repent
and turn from sin. Still they pur-
sue it to the end when they know
that it means eternal death.
