cred song has been translated into nearly all languages on the globe.
 I have noticed that as men grow old they like to hear the hymns that were sung in their childhood, as was the case with old Dr. Mcclure, in "Besde the Bonnie Briar Bush" So 1t is. The young may content themselves with more modern hymns, but as the evening of life ap- breaches there is longing for the old hymns. Rock of Ages" thus, is the hymn of the aged saint. For nearly every one in looking back over the years is able to recall time in childhood when he used to hear Rock of Ages sung by voices that he shall hear no more this side the golden gates.

A great many incidents are related In which this hymn is ascribed conspicuous part, many of them having occurred. no doubt. The following took place at a railway station, where many passengers were awaiting belated train, among them was Bishop John H. Vincent Dur ing the long delay the bishop was much annoyed by the profanity of an impatient passenger. As the delay of the train was prolonged the profane man shocked well nigh everybody in the station by his language. Then 1t was that Bishop Vim cent began to sing Jesus, Lover of My Soul" in a low, soft tone. The profane man was brought to silence at once. He heard the hymn to it's close. and then asked the bishop if he might have a word with him. They went outside the station. The man asked, How came you to sing that hymn just now?" The answer was, q heard you swearing, and I wanted you to know that somebody here loved the name of Christ" Said the stranger, That's very remarkable. My sister when dying sang that very hymn, and I prom ised her I would be better man. l would like you to pray for me-" The bishop thought there was no better thine than then, so they knelt and prayed. The train came. The two men were separated, to meet no more. probably. But doubtless in the heart of him who knelt with the bishop to pray the sacred song will sing itself through life.

Education a Failure

From the Washington Herald
 Senator Robert L. owen of Oklahoma, whose mother was Cherokee Indian, stirred up some excitement down Ok lahoma way in one of the first law suits he ever tried.
 The opposing counsel saw fit to call owen liar.
 owen got up and addressed himself to the court in about this language;
 "Inasmuch as the court has done nothing to maintain it's own dignity and as 1 am ample able to take care of myself, l shall take this affair into my own hands"
 Then he turned to the lawyer across the table and remarked to him in loud voice that he was both liar and blackguard. and that furthermore. he could just take that. and that and that. Whereupon the opposing counsel fell to the floor as one man. owen had used only his fist, but everybody in the court room fled, not knowing when bullets might be in the air.
 After the affair was over the law yer who had called owen liar stood on the front steps of the courthouse and observed to couple of friends:
 q never was much in favor of edu- eating these Cherokee boys. anyhow.

 The conservatives who are not blinded by personal considerations and who want to oust the liberals from power, recognize that the root of unrest in England Is in the large exclusion of the people from ownership of the soil.

 Let it go till Sunday and I'll fix it."
 That was the frequent word of an H. linois farmer for whom the writer occa- sionally worked when boy. This farmer made Sunday one of his busy days. mend ing harness, fixing pumps and such odd jobs
 He wanted to get rich quick
 For a time he prospered greatly. but by and by his continued labors and lack of relaxation of body or mind wore him out, and he died In middle age
 Instead of gaining one day in seven he lost all his days.
 On Sunday morning his neighbors htched up to their carriages and took their families to the church. There they enjoyed social contact that was congenial and in the uplft of spiritual things found refreshment. going back to their week day labors with a new zest.
 My farmer. like Gallo, cared for none of these things
 And therefore he became like one of his stolid. Norman horses, and, like one of | them, he died. What is Sunday? It is. of course. a day of rest set apart l by civil authority. It is also day of re- ligious observance prescribed by the church Besides that. It is the week end vacation established out of the experience of the race for the benefit of the race. The race has learned that one day of rest in seven Is absolutely essential for the health and sanity of humans.

THE word radical has a most un-
 pleasant sound in many ears. We
 ! do not desire to oe made altogether consistent, nor to follow our own logic to It's last conclusion. We preserve our pet abuses like spoiled children and love them all the more because they need de- fending But the day comes when we are forced to weep while we take the wretched things in hand and apply reformatory sorrow to their exterior, while we suffer the bangs of moral suasion" ourselves. Moral suasion is the being compelled to give up rights which involve wrong to others.
 And this is the era for which England has waited, the era of radicalism, of applied logic, of discovered wrong and somewhat loud, as well as belated, con- triton. Even the women are in rebellion, seeing their opportunity in a moment or legislative unrest. Interests and priv ileges against which patriots have ragged for two generations have been over thrown. The welfare of the people, as Carlyle used to urge. has become the supreme concern of king and parliament.

the committee recommended that in the list of hymns to be left out of the new hymnal should be placed that venerable and sacred lyric,
 Flow Firm Foundation. Ye Saints of
 the Lord"
 The chairman of the committee was listened to with great interest, but with perceptible dissent. When he sat down Philips Brooks, the peerless orator, took the floor In behalf of the hymn that have named ] sat very near where he stood. I watched the emotion surging through his tall. magnificent form, He referred to the history of the hymn; how it had been treasured in the hearts of Gods people for years; how it had com forted the dying and inspired the living: then employing his wonderful elequence. he pleaded that it might remain in the hymnal of the church. It was a powerful plea. At it's close there was a suppressed murmur of satisfaction. The hymn was saved. This noble lyric was one of Gen. Robert E. Lees favorite hymns. It first appeared in the year 17S9.
 Augustus Montague Toplady was a cler- gyman of the Church of England and as was not uncommon in the 18th century, he became pronounced Calvinist. While he was known as a polemic in those days, he is known in the 20th century as the author of that beautiful hymn which all the world sings:

The other day a little chap with a bundle of newspapers under his arm lay down on the elevator just outside a Broadway hotel in New York city.
 It was about o'clock at night, and evidently discouraged because of his poor sales. The draft of warm air from the furnace soon put him to sleep.
 He lay in the full glare of an arc light. his cap tumbled off in front of him, sound asleep.
 As people passed they smiled at the tiny cuddled figure. Some, kind hearted, dropped coins into the cap. And the po- lioeman, whose business It was to whacle with his club the feet soles of sleeping men and boys, looked at the child and passed on.
 The boy had been there an hour.
 About 10 o'clock a well dressed woman came out of the hotel entrance and. mo- ticing the boy, went over to him. Re moving one glove, she placed her hand on his shoulder. Failing to arouse the child, she shook him few times.
 The boy awoke with a start; but, seeing friendly face instead of policeman's, he closed him eyes and murmured, "Oh, let me sleep"
 Poor child" said the woman, "I'l take you where you can sleep in comfort
 The boy had dropped back into the heavy slumber of childhood and scarcely could be got to his feet. The woman hailed taxicab. placed the child in it, gave directions to the driver and got in herself.
 That's all
 Where this Lady Bountiful took the boy Is not known. It Is safe to say how ever, he boys dreams were sweet that night and his near future less full of hardships.
 Now
 You have puzzled yourself many a time because of the problem of vicarious suf- fering. You have written mental "Why?" after many a picture of unde- served distress and suffering innocence
 Does not Lady Bountiful explain some part of it?
 The homeless newsboy touched her ten der sensibilities. awoke solicitude But for the sleeping boy her pity had not been born.
 Without distress there could be no sucl thing as benevolence.

Soon after his retirement from Congress he was elected by the legislature to the supreme bench of the state, and two years later. on the retirement of Judge Collier from the chief justiceship. Judge Dargan was elected to succeed him. After serving three years in this function he re- signed and resumed private practice of the law in Mobile.
 Here Judge Dargan was profitably en- gagged in the practice of the law when the war began, and in 1861 he was chosen to represent Mobile in the constitutional convention. No sphere could have been better suited to his taste and qualifca- tions and he was ranked one of the fore most members of that body.
 Judge Dargans career in the public ser vice closed with his membership in the Confederate Congress, where he served for two years only, and declined further service in that capacity. It was while he was member 0 the Congress of the Con- federacy that Governor Foote of Tennes-
