A Test of the Christian Spirit.

Recent news indicates again the diff
fieult task of the offender when he tries
to get back into society. Friends of
released prisoners know the difficulty;
few others have faced it seriously
enough to comprehend il. 1t is told
that a Young fellow a few years ago
was convicted for an offense and
ceryed his term. After trying without
success to find employment in his own
city he was given a letter of common
dation by a prominent public official
for use in another city. There he Sc
cured employment under his own name
but without telling his history. For
some time he lived in peace aad was
hopeful of living down his had record.
No complaint was made Of him BIT his
employers. One day th,re came into
the place a man who had been Il guard
IN the prison where he had served his
time and who recognized him. Though
the Young man followed him out into
the street and asked him not to betrav
him, the appeal was unsuccessful for
that night he was discharged The
case presents perfectly familiar but
often battling elements, Ought the cS-
convict to have concealed his history .
Ought the guard to have betrayed his
story to the employers Ought the en-
7loycr to have discharged him? Ev-
cry pastor in the city and many en-
ployers have to face such questions
constantly.
But these are, after all, subsidiary
questions. The real question is wheth-
er the stain of an old offensc is never
to be overlooked. Is a term of pun.
ishment for wrongdoiag a final fact
from which a man MAJ never hope IL

Rail Power In War.

The movement Of troops to the Mex
lean Border has recalled the fact that
Colonel Daniel c. McCallum, at the
outbreak of the Civil War, was taken
from the general superintendent Of
the Erie Railroad to become military
director and superintendent Of rail
roads in the United States.
The book, "The Rise of Rail Power
in War and Contest b. Edwin A.
Pratt, SAYS that Europe learned much
by watching the work of Colonel Me
Callum, and a reviewer says, in the
Railroad Mems Magazine:
Germany had definite schemes for
the military use of railroads as early
as 1898, but down to 1861 she had done
nothing more practical than to issue a
series of ordinances dealing with the
movement of large bodies of troops.
And at that time nearly all the great
countries of Europe had similar reg
ulations. 1t was not until 1864, after
Prussian military observers had noted
what had been done in America, that
j Germany saw the possibilities of rail
ronds in war.
This is tribute to the man who was
prominently identified with the Erie II
| 1856.

vember reproduces from the Quarterly
Railroad Register for November, 1886
