 little more earth experience. Such a doctrine implies more than one visit to the world. It implies other things which Christians do not a rule believe.
 Some say of somebody else, How unfortunate he didn't die.'' Some things worse than death. If death is good we are not permitted to know fl. except in a weak, intellectual way. The energy of the emotions goes into the desire to live. Those who envied Phipps his fortunate position in the world, would not change places with him now. III placed was the envy of that good fortune, which was the source of his taking off.

Schneider Is at death's door this morning. Having sacrificed her husband and eI, Schneider when he declined to mar ry her. and tried with a kiss to heal the disgrace and the anguish of her situation.
 These are not the old days. when the woman. humble like 8 squaw, meekly submits to every wrong that the man conits against her. The wages of sin Is death. Easy. to say but lacking something of point The news every day proves that the wages Of pleasure and the wages of indus try often are death. Death comes to every person. soon or late.
