Among the many welcome visitors al
this institution of late was the Rev. John
Mccoy, former Chaplain of the New
Prison.
Tie late Chaplain made an extensive visit
to every department of the prison and made
a point of extending glad hand and a
cheering word to all of the old boys who
are still with us and who formerly were his
charges. 1t is needless to say that his Wis
it was very much appreciated by one and
all. The boys all look forward to the
pleasure of having future visits from such
cheering caller.
Whenever we have so far deviated from
the teachings ofthe Bible as to think, or say,
that we have no faith in humanity, it will
be convincing enough evidence for us to
<Hot for hono ako
that it would necessitate our reaching up
instead of down to shake hands with the
reptile. To condemn him who was created
in His image and likeness, is blasphemy
of Him whose teachings you profess to fol-
low. 1t must be remembered that the best
OF mankind is none too good, that none
are so chaste and free from sin, except the
ssSupreme Court of the Eternal God" as
to be qualified to pass "S entence of
worth" upon another.
tits with regret that we have to announce
the resignation of our Band and Orchestra
director, Professor Schmidt. During the
past nine months that the Professor has
been with us he has gained the esteem and
good will of every inmate in the institution,
while the members of the two corps he had
charge of, cannot express too high an opin-
ion of what his untiring efforts accomplish
ed in their behalf.
Professor Schmidt was a splendid direct
or, having at one time carried the Baton
with one of St. Peterburg's, Russia, leading
bands. His talent is also known in the
Twin Cities as he formerly was a member
of the Metropolitan Orchestra in St. Paul,
and is a member of the Minneapolis SYM
phony Orchestra.
We one and all are sorry to lose
the Professor. yet as he is lettering his
position in life, we take this means of ex-
tending our best wishes for his continued
prosperity and success.
