THE PERSISTENT Tn.I, no,p,,.,

THE PERSISTENT TRAIN ROBpER.
Inc disappearance OF $1,000 from an
express car between Jersey CITY and
savannah calls attention to the -four
'Sh'ng condition OF the gentle art of
train robbing. All the modern i'm
provements In stopping crime seem 10
leave the railroad brigand unscathed
1t Is apparently just as easy now as II
ever was for a bold masked man 10
stop train. hog-tie the crew. blow
open the safe. ransacl the passengers
and depart into the night with big
booty. Almost every week we read of
such deeds Of derring-do, right in the
heart of very civilized communities.
Wonder about this Is not out OF
place when It Is considered how thor
oughly American Is this institution of
'ra'n robbing. Did you ever hear of
'he Paris Special, or the Berlin Can
nonball being held up to the tune of
thousands? They may hold YOU IN on
the train or at the customs points bur.
they do not hold up the train How
written If the travellers on the North

ViVals OF the flush days of gold min
ing and stage coaching They add
spice to transcontinental travelling. So
many tourist would rather lose 81
Few dollars in n hold-up by midnight
dcsperadoes than miss the experience.
There "a something Robin Hood,sh
about such an adventure. Yet Il would
seem easy for the railroads to stop
such attacks. we suppose the din.
Guilty is that train robbers are not
regular criminals. They spring up
mystcriously, driven by sudden need
of funds or the desire to get real
thrill. and they are hard TO capture
ana punish. Few train robbers have
their interesting phizes In the rogues'
gallery. Add to this the fact shat
sparsely settled regions in the great
Southwest give plenty OF room for

tion OF This persistence OF a medieval
custom in twentieth century land.

BEYOND TIE VEIL.

Although not attuned in form and

foreign to the comprehension and
simple belief OF him of simple

on the occasion OF his induction into

profound student and pre-eminent

he had admittedly approached with
hostility stood up TO rebuke dogmatic
science and confess unqualified convic-
ton that memory and affection are
not limited to that association with
matter by which alone they can mani
rest themselves here and now, and that
personality persists beyond bodily
death" Three years ago Sir Oliver

! And when Jesus came to the place,
] He looked up. and saw Him. and said
unto him. Zacchcus, make haste and
come down, for to-day must abide
at tiny housc."-Luke xix. 5.
| Our Saviour for the first time in
vited Himself TO mans house We
may feel ourselves quite as unlikely
to entertain our Lord as Zaccheus
seemed to be: and yet. perhaps at this
hour He presses Himself upon us
Will we receive Him?
Haccheus was man In Il despised
calling. publican, Il taxgatherer for
the Romans, over their PROSTATE
people. the Jews. He was in bad odor
with all respectable folk. He was rich,
with the grave suspicion of getting his
wealth by dishonest means He was
determined and eccentric: otherwise he
would hardly have climbed n tree to
carry out his purpose. But If there
was no other way to carry out his de-
sire, he would even do that: for see
Jesus he would He was not the choice
of any class of society in any respect.
Yet to such a man Jesus came. and
He Will come TO us If we as earnestly
desire to sec Him.
There was a necessity which pressed
upon the Saviour ard which led Him
To abide in the house Of Zaccheus.
Looking at his heart, the Lord saw n
sinner who needed Him. and who would
gladly accept His mercy; person who
would illustrate the sovereignty of His
choice: character whose renewal
would magnify His grace and spread
abroad much good: host who would
entertain Him with hearty hospitality.
1t was Il case which would be widely
known, and greatly publish abroad the
gospel. Jesus said unto him. This day
is salvation come to this house. torso
much as he also is Il son of Abraham
for the Son OF Man is come to seek
and to save that which was lost"
There was a necessity of love in the
Rcdecmcr's gracious heart. There was
also a necessity for u blessing to flow
TO others through Zacchcus.
Docs such necessity exist for MS?
VIII we receive Him this day? Fac
cheus made haste" VIII we receive
Him heartily? Zaccheus received Him
ioyfully" VIII we receive Him. what
ever others may say? They all muir
INJURED" Will we receive Him as Lord !?
Iaccheus said, Behold. Lord" Will we
receive Him 90 as to place our sub
stance under the control of Jesus and
His law? Zaccheus said, The half Of

have taken anything from any man
by false accusation, ] restore him four
fold"
| If these things be so, Jesus will abide
with us. He cannot fail to come where
He will have such welcome. Why
should we not to-day receive our
Lord? There Is no reason against it;
and there is every reason why we
should. and many reasons why we must
do so at once.
