By REV. cHARfEs sEELzLE

There's only one death-be& reper
tance recorded In the Bible.
One-so that no man may despair
Only one-so that no man may\pre
sumo.
True death-bed repentances ar
very rare. anyway-most of them an
~insincere.
They are usually the result of fear
and cowardice.
! It 10 a mercy that there's a ~graciouA
God who IL ready to forgive the vilest
sinner who truly repents-and no mar
can wander so far from God that he
may not return.
But 1t isn't a square deal either to
God or to humanity as a whole for q
man to deliberately plan to OF
a "death-bed" repentance to escape
ever they may be.
And It's a pretty dangerous risk to
run, for there are all kinds Of chances
that a man may not be In a state of
mind to repent when his last hour
arrives.
He may become suddenly uncon-
scious, or his mind may become weak
eped by long illness.
And, what is still more likely to
happen. he may be so hardened in
heart that he will be altogether in
different as to what becomes Of him
after death.
The fact IL. this is the normal state
OF "unbelfevinH" men when the hour
Of death 10 at hand. At least this was
my experience as q pastor for ten
years during which I tried to be Of
service to many dying men and wo-
men.
The pain they've suffered, or the
stupor which often comes during the
last few days of their lives. or the
general disgust with life such as
they've lived 1t during their illness
these, and many other causes, pro-
duces a state of mind in which they
apparently care very little what be-
ZONES of them when they die.
It's an abnormal state-and it's
foolish to wait for such an hour in
which to make ones plans for a Jour
ney through eternity. 4
1t Is fairer, more reasonable, and
saner to think seriously about the en-
tire matter of the future life when
ones mind Is alert to all the facts
involved. |
No man will ever decide more
important question than this. and it
Is therefore worthy of the best
thought that one car give 1t.
1t Is commonly assumed by thought
people that after the pleasures
Of youth have been drained and
nothing left to enjoy, then is
The time to make ones peace with
But there's an almost ~inexorable
law that when ones mind has been
to spiritual things for forty or
fifty years 1t lie next to impossible for
1t to receive new truth-it requires
almost a miracle to change ones way
thinking.
And any man who deliberately en-
cages In a lifelong plot to cheat God
put of lifelong service isn't likely to
Do In q frame of mind al the End of
shese years to calmly change all his
processes of living and lov1ng-he1l
sling to the idols of his youth for
And. he's wrong when he takes 1t
or granted that there are no joys in
religion-there are no deeper, fuller
|oys anywhere than those which are
BASED upon spiritual truth.
So that the mar who has been dis
honest with God and with himself is
twfce-robbed-once when he is rob-
of the richest joys Of the present
life, ana again when he is robbed OIL

KNOX RESOLUTION
Continued from page y

The Republican leaders are fully
aware of this situation, but it will Tot
prevent them from pressing the reso-
luton to Il vote, if they can. Senator
Knox of Pennsylvania, its author, will
move to take it up formally for con-
sideration. Upon this motion will
come the first test.
The Republican anti-league Sena-
tors believe they will be able to
muster considerably more than one
third of the Senate OH this vote. This,
in their opinion, will be sufficient to
serve notice upon the peace confer
cnce that the constitutional two
thirds of the Senate necessary for the
ratification Of treaty cannot be OBJ
tanned for the present treaty, if the
League covenant is left part of it.
Furthermore the Republican leaders
know that several Senator's on both
sides of the chamber intend to vote
against certain provisions Of the
League covenant when shat cores
formally before the Senate, but are
not willing at this stage OF the pro
ccedings to take the unprecedented
step of interfering in advances with
the Presidents negotiations at Paris.

ADVANCE PARTY GOES
TO CAMP ABNAKI

Although Camp Abnaki, the Yer
mont State camp for boys, does not
open for the boys until June seth, an
advance party, consisting OF Mcssrs.
Clark, McGovern and Amc5, with
some of the leaders and helpers, goes
to Abnaki on June 21st to open me
buildings and unpack the equipment,
put up the tents, get the water sys-
TEN working, put the boats in con-
dition and get them and the swim
ming float into the water, and me- ke
such preparations as are always nee
cssary for carrying on such a large
camp for nine weeks. A new 10
fot iron flag pole has been secured
and will be erected early in the sea-
son.
The Rutland Railroad has again
given the camp excellent train SER
vice and every day train will make
flag stop at Abnaki station during the
cansing sason. The usual express
service will also be in operation again
this summer.
This camp is open to any normal
boy above ten years of age and the
unusually large number of applica-
lions which are being sent in from
different parts of the state indicate
that there will be full camp during
the whole season. A great number
of the old leaders and boys are re-
turning this year, as well as the usual
number of new ones, and the pros
poets were never brighter for most
successful and pleasant season at this
ideal summer place where the boys
of the state receive the benefits of
an outing on the shore of Lake
Champlain under the best of supervi-
sion, influences and associations.

SUMMER HOME BURNED
Cottage of Carl H. Turner at Forest
Lake, N. H., Struck by Lightning
and Destroyed

The summer cottage of Carl H.
Turner at Forest Lake, N. H., was
struck by lightning last night and
entirely destroyed. A large tree near
the building was first hit and the fire
from that leaped to the cottage which
was soon enveloped in flames.
Mr.. Turner had been at the cottage
some time getting it ready for his
family and yesterday left for Boston
to return with them for the summer.
1t was fortunate no one was in the
cottage for it is very likely escape
from death would have been impos-
sible.
Mrs. H. N. Turner, mother of Mr..
Turner, was notified by message Of
the burning of the cottage and i'm
mediately reached her son in Boston
by wire telling him of the loss.
