THE TRAIL TO GOD
A Dream Of the End Of Time

and fumes that twisted, sprang and
licked the earth. Amid this scene Of
destruction came grOans, wailing,
weeping and screaming as the doomed
peoples and kindred things fought and
run-chevalier and footman-it was
an awful minute!
Imagine, II you can, amid this pit
eous world confusion the dulcet and
weird strains Of 4 heavenly band Of
angels rejoicing over the saved!
Christ had taken the throne in the
amphitheatre to Judge the wOrldl
Twenty-four elders in white robes, the
Lamb Of God. the Angels and the
Books composed the court. The Judge
Christ; the twenty-fOur elders (the
jury); the Lamb Of God (the blood Of
CHRISTI; the Angels (baliffs Of the
! COURT; and the Books (the Law and
the Evidence). Now the last court Ii
in session. The Book Of Deeds and the
Book of Life were opened and the
trial began!
The first case called was that Of
Lazarus. "Well done, thou good and
faithful servant" and the name Of
Lazarus was recorded in the Book Of
Deeds.
The next case was that Of Dives.
"Thou has not kept my command
ments; thou hast wOrshipped false
gods; thou hast not given to the poor;
get thee behind me, satan"
The Books are closed and court ad-
journsl It was a fair trial before a
fair Judge and jury, and there are no
grounds for an appeal; no court Of
higher claim!
The cost Of the lost human souls
in this last trial was the price Dives
paid to violate the injunctions from
the Sermon on the Mountl
Amid the anthems Of the blessed
the Holy City appeared Coming
down from God out Of heaven, Rev.
21:2). The pathway leading from the
judgment seat to the heavenly home
was a rainbow Of emeralds (Rev. 4:2).
Now the storm had passed; the
earth had quit her rocking; the seas
had given up their dead and the last
tinge of a world holocaust of burnt
offering for the sins Of the world had
died out beyond the remotest seas.
Here was the Holy City!-A new
world as when Adam was given
charge-over whose heavenward dome
the TRANSPORTATION of the Savior ap-
peared! The base Of the New Jeru-
salem reached around the heavenly
world; its spires of gold and onyx,
sapphire and amethystine, and mar
velous shades of silver and purple,
were to be the beacon lights Of a new
world where there is no night, no
darkness, no sorrow, no misery, no
woe!
The dream ends.

COP Is EXONERATED
ON ASSAULT CHARGE
Inspector Holds Patrolman
Walsh Was Right in Beat
ing Pedler.
WITNESS CHANGES MIND
Advertising Man Who Prev
iously Testified for Victim
Supports Assailant.

The charge of conduct unbecoming a
police officer" will not be filed against
Policeman Sidney J. Walsh OF the Oak
street station. Inspector William f.
Boettler said yesterday upon complet-
ing the investigation which has been
in progress in his office in the Delaney
street station house. Eli Kleiman, n
cherry peddler whom Policeman Walsh
assaulted and arrested at Spruce and
Nassau street Saturday and who later
was discharged in night court said "he
guessed he'd have to let II go at that"
In his decision, Inspector Boettler
made II plain that he had been greatly
impressed by the testimony of Harry
Van Cleef, an advertising man of $50
William street. Van Cleef was one of
the principal witnesses for the peddler at
the Oak street station house last Satur-
day after he had been booked there. He
was insistent that the assault upon the
peddler was without provocation and
was among the crowd which cried
shame" after Walsh had struck the
peddler three times,
When Inspector Boettler took his testi-
mony. Van Cleef said "the policeman
veyed the impression by his story that
Klcimen might have invited the attack.
His story on this particular phase Of the
proceedings differed widely with the tes-
timony Of a newspaper reporter who
said:
when Policeman Walsh. assisted by
mis- two brother officers walked Klei-
man to the northeast corner of Spruce
and Nassau street. Walsh moved back a
little to one side OF the prisoner, who
was standing with his arms at his sides
and deliberately poked out three fast
punches which crashed against the pris-
oner's face. Kleiman crumpled up and
Tell to the pavement"
The reporter was asked IL he noticed
the policeman splitting blood. and he re-
piled: NO, Policeman Walsh was not
splitting blood, but Kleiman certainly
was"
The investigation from the police
viewpoint seemed to Convey the idea
that resistance" on the part OF
Kleiman precipitated the attack. In
spector Boettler also laid great stress
on the testimony of Kleiman. in which
the complainant admitted that he had
used the name ELI Kleiman," and
Moses Beck when his proper name
was Moses Jobeck. His license. accord
ing to Boettler, lie the property of Eli
Kleiman, a discharged soldier, who took
advantage of the State law which al
lows former army or navy men to pro-
cure a free license TO peddle anywhere
within the State.
Efforts on the part of the police to
locate "Kleiman" did not meet with sue

cess. and he went into the record as the
elusive Klelman" The pedler said a
man Of that name had been his partner
but his assistant on the wagon at the
time OF his arrest. Elias Rosenb,oom
contradcted this story and said an Inc
several years he was acquainted with
the pedler he had never known him
to have a partner. lie also said that
his employer had not been in the army
or navy. ..,..
When Walsh went TO serve sum
mons on Kleiman the prisoner declared
II was the fourth ticket for the day
and ito please have a heart. Then
the policeman decided he would place
him under arrest. This happened in
front of 149 Nassau street. Here the
first mixup occurred, in which Walsh
was joined by two other policemen. Sub
sequently they marched him over TO the
northeast corner and then Walsh per-
petnated the assault which resulted in
Klelman falling unconscious, Van
Cleef also exonerated Lieut.. Wettlaufer,
who in testlfying about the action said !;
Newspapers. you know, sometimes em-
bellish their accounts Of affairs
Walsh admitted that he struck the
prisoner several times in making the
arrest but was emphatic in asserting
that every time he did so the assault
was provoked by Kleiman. who he al
legged first struck him in the face and
later damned him in the stomach with
his elbow This the prisoner denied.
DR.. Laven Of the Broad Street Hospi-
tai. who was called to attend Kloiman.
said he found the man suffering from
Commissions of the face. He was not
called to treat the policeman. At the
night court Policeman Walsh did not
say anything about resistance.
The testimony will be sent to Com
missioner Enright with the recommends
ton of Inspector Boettler that the
charges be ignored.

admitted that, as Commissioner, he had
no power to trade in food or fuel, he
asserted that his acts were entirely out

OF the Aldermen In naming him as a
