Too Many Laws to Enforce.

This nation as whole, and al

much law making. Senator Root

to 1918 inclusive, Congress and

But Prince Con- stantine paid the price of his wisdom and was compelled by the din of mob in the street and by decree Of par lament to resign his command in the army and leave the country. At that moment it seemed that he would never be able to rehabiliate himself in the public esteem.

 But wiser council won out, and at- ter three months of exile he was re- called by the veerlng wind of popular sentiment.

breaches Sermon
His Father Read
Fifty Years Ago

gregational church.

following the death OF Lincoln by the
hand of the assassin, Rev. William
Leavitt preached this sermon.
Rev. Mr.. Leavitt had the written manu-
script OF the sermon which his father
preached and he read u to his congre-
cation. IL was a stirring sermon in which
Christian forbearance sought almost to
find voice. while the human mind dwelt
on the decd which mad been done at
Washington.
Abraham Llncoln's place In the hearts
Of the people of the north was very large
at that time even and many believed in
the heat and passion OF the moment that
the assassination had been ordered by
the leaders OF the Confederacy.
The congregation Sunday, viewing the
act from a distance Of fifty years and In
the light OF the social and commercial
bonds which now unite north and south,
could see that the act. foul though It
was. perhaps was for the best. as SEEM
