At liiKt a battle was Imminent. Ther.
bad been terrible girding in the pniiers
t the long delay; all sorts of disasters
wer prophesied; the lntrenehments were
laiprccnahle thousands of troops were
marching to the aid of Arabi a battle,
en If o-cre successful, must inevit
ably be attended with fearful loss of life.
On the uU-lit of the l'Jth June did not
close her eyes. All night long she Raw the
picture she had seen that night when
I'allas wua trying on his Ih-H and waving
his sword In the air. That had Wen a
presentiment, she felt sure. On the mor
row, or the day after, she would take up
the taper and read his name among the
dead, a. she had done In fancy a hun
dred times.
All the morning of the 1.1th she went
about looking like a ghost, with pale lip.
and hollow eyes. At noon Tom brought
the news to her. Kven he was elated and
Interested this time. "(Horions news!
a tremendous victory; our loss compara
tively trilling."
A momentary sense of relief came OTer
June, to U crossed immediately by n mi
giving. "A comparatively trilling loss"
to a nation may mean hundreds of striek
m homes, hundreds of broken women',
kearts.
She must ask the question.
'The IJuardsV" she faltered.
Tom did not know ; no particulars had
arrived yet; this was only a telegram from
the station. Hut he would ride over him
self at once; for, eveu if he had 1-cen jenl
ns of 1 lallas. he did not forget In the mo
ment of danger that he was his cousin,
and was really anxious to hear of his
safety.
The time nntil Tom returned seeim-d
like eternity. Kven then the news was
meager. The brunt of the loss had fallen
on the Highland regiments; it was
thought the Guards had not leen active
ly engaged.
Mrs. Trevanlon was to arrive that even
ing. She would be sure-to know.
Mrs. Trevanion came, armed with the
latest intelligence. She had called in
Downing street before Cuing to the sta
tion, and had heard the last intelligence
from a personal friend. Foot Guards un
der fire, but In second line.
JTne third week of Mrs. Trevanion'.
TWtt was drawing to a close. It was a
dull, gray afternoon. June was cower
ing over a fire; 6he hnd a fit of shivering,
and felt more than usually unwell. For
the la-st few days a listless feeling had
crept over her; she had no appetite, and
felt 111 and depressed. She had refused
to have a doctor, but tinlay Mrs. Tre
vanion had insisted, and a servant had
been dispatched to summon him.
"I wonder," said Mrs. Trevanlon, "how
alias is getting on? I don't think his
last letter was quite so cheery as usual.
He had looked forward so much to Cairo,
but it seems they ure all disappointed
and disgusted with it, and would rather
be in the desert."
"Oh," exclaimed June, suddenly, with
her eyes fixed on the window, "there is
Agnes. I am getting positively to hate
the sight of her."
"Ieave her to me," observed Mrs. Tre
Tanion. "I will talk to her."
A minute later. Muss Kllesmere was
announced. She came in with a longer
face than usual, and in her hand she held
an orange envelope.
As June saw It, a deadly chill took
possession of her; she shivered violently;
Ler teeth chattered in her head.
"1 haTe some dreadful news," said Ag
nes, fixing her cruel eyes on June's face.
"This telegram eauie for mamma from
Aunt Violet. She was out, and papa
opened it. Mr. Broke died of fever last
night in Cairo."
Mrs. Trevanlon uttered a cry, then,
.tailing up, ran to June.
She had turned white as death, and
was falling back senseless in her choir.
CHAPTER XXVI.
Lady Nevii was carried upstairs to bed.
and it was more than a month before she
was able to be moved from it again. The
doctor pronounced that she was sickening
for a fever typhoid, he feared. From the
moment when Agnes told the cruel news,
he never perfectly recovered conscious
ness, but Was either insensible or deliri
ous. The day after Jnne waa taken ill little
Tom began to sicken, and in five days he
died. Sir Thomas was like one stunned;
but bis Intense anxiety about his wife
made the loss of the child perhaps less
agonizing. If only June were spared to
him, he felt he could bear that other
grief, awful though It was; he realized
once'again how he loved hla wife, and
what her death would mean to him. His
remorse was grievous to witness. He
made no attempt to conceal it from Mrs.
Trevanlon. Indeed, it was the only thing
he could talk of. He clung to her. Im
ploring her not to leave him. He seemed
to hang on her presence as the only chance
of saving hla darling.
To Mrs. Trevauion'g relief, the name of
Dallas never crossed June's lips. During
those dreadful days of her poor little
child's illness, death and burial, June was
happily unconscious. She knew nothing
of Tom's agonized face, a be came in
with hiiRhed steps and haggard eyes from
that other chamler where half his hopes
lay dead from the little waxen figure
that it would have broken June's heart to
iee. This anguish at least she was spar
ed. When the funeral was OTer poor Tom
osed to creep up to the nursery and sit
with his face In bis hands. Sometimes he
would take up one of little Tom's toys,
end then, poor fellow, he would burst
Into a terrible passion of dry sobs. When
He came dow n he would go on tiptoe Into
his w ife's room and look at her In dumb
4htirm It
After the twenty-first day June took ft
turn ror the better. For the nrst time sn
tlon In her eyes, and put out a wasted
waxen nana to ner.
"Have I been ill?" she asked. In a lan
guid voice.
"Von will soon be well now, dear child,'
answ ered Mrs. Trevanlon, In her cheeriest
tones.
"Where Is Tom?" she asked, presently.
"Would yon like to see him?"
Jnne made a gesture of assent, and Mrs.
Trevanlon went to fetch him,
"Hut, .he said, as he was preparing
with alacrity to obey the summons, "not
In these clothes," looking at the mourn
ing garments he was wearing for his lost
heir. "And If," he Tolee fnltering, "If
she asks for the poor darling, yon must
try to command yourself, and say that he
has gone away to stay."
Ton axrayed himself in an old shooting
sraK, and went on tiptoe to his wife's
room. What an eager light there was in
his honest face as he approached the bed
and once more saw recognition in the eyes
of hla beloved! She smiled faintly and
field out her hand to him, and he took It In
his as tenderly as though It might melt
away at a touch.
"Where Is little Tom?" asked June,
CalnHy. "I want to see all the family."
Mrs. Trevanlon saw the convulsive
working of Tom's face, and hastened to
interpose.
"He is with his grandmother, darling."
she said, thinking sadly of June's dead
mother; but June understood, as It wa
meant she should, that he was with Mrs.
Kllesmere.
"Fancy Tom letting him out of hi.
sight P she murmured, and then sank back
tired, and said no more.
That night, as Mrs. Trevanion was sit
ting by her liedside, thinking she was doz
ing. June suddenly owned her eyes, and,
with a fixed look, said:
"Is It trueT
"Is what true, dearest?"
"Dallas!" uttered June, in a low voice.
Mrs. Trevanlon hid her face m het
hands, and the tears fell thick and fast
til rough her fiugere
"How hardl" said June, and then closed
her eyes and relapsed Into silence.
The doctors now gave every hope of her
recovery. When she was well enough to
be moved, she waa to be taken to the sea
side, and, as Mrs. Trevanlon could no
longer be spared from home, Mrs. Bryan
was to be installed as head nurse.
"Oh," said Tom, in a melancholy rolce,
as they sat together after dinner on the
lost evening, "what shall I do without
you? I don't believe my poor little girl
would erer have pulled through but for
yon."
"When she Is stronger, yon must tell
her," answered Mrs. Trevanion, with
tears in her eye. "And when yon talk
abont yonr dreadful I03S, it will be heart
breaking at first, but it will draw you
closer together afterward. And now,"
looking very kindly at his grieved face,
"do you feel sufllciently friendly to allow
me to take a liberty?"
At this Tom jumped tip, and. coming
round to her, seized her hand and held it
fast.
"What in the world might yon not say
or do?" And he took the chair beside
her.
"Yon know," said Mrs. Trevanlon, af
ter a slight pause, "when our poor darling
was so ill and we did not know which way
it might turn, I would not allow you to
reproach yourself in any way on her ac
count; but, now that she la going to get
quite well and strong again, you must
be all In all to each other, just as you
were when first you married."
Mrs. Trevanion paused a moment: then,
looking at him Tery kindly and speaking
in a low but resolute voice, she proceeded:
"No third person ought ever to be nl
lowed to come between a husband and
wife. The cause of most of the mistinder
stnhding letween you ami dear June has
lieen the interference of Miss Kllesmere."
"Yes, yes," said Tom, heartily. "I am
sure you are right. Rut I think, with poor
Agnes, it was what you would call want
of tact more than anything else. How
ever," seeing the expression of dissent on
his friend's face, "it shall never happen
ai.'aiu. No one nothing shall ever conn
between my wife and me. I'lease God
she gets well, she shall have it all her
own way."
Mrs. Trevanion smiled. "I think you
will find," she said, "that June is less like
ly to be spoiled by too much kindness than
by the other method. And I am quite
sure that n man as good and kind as you
are ought to make any reasonable woman
happy, and will do so when left to your
self." "Oh," cried Tom, depreeatingly, "don't
say anything about nie! I'm a very poor
sort of chap, I'm afraid!"
"No, you are not," said Mrs. Trevan
ion, smiling and putting out her hand to
him. "Rut you arc none the worse for
being modest, and when I come to stay
with you again I know 1 shall find you the
happb-st couple in the world."
"And we will be, thnnks to you!" cried
Tom. fervently, still grasping her hand.
"It will be thanks to the natural good
qualities of both of yon, and to there be
ing no one to interfere," answered Mrs.
Trevanion, kindly.
fllAITKK XXVII.
It was the first week in January. Sit
Thomas and I-ndy Nevil were staying at
their place in the North. Kx tensive al
terations were being made at the Hall,
and, indeed, both its master and mistress
shrank from the idea of returning to the
v'.ace where such terrible calamity had
berallen them. June hnd almost recover
ed her health, though not her spirits Her
child's death had been a crushing blow;
it seemed to her a sort of divine retribu
tion for having thought too little of him
in his 'lifetime.
Six months ago anyone might son J
have predicted that the Iw.y's death would
have fallen with ten times more severity
on Tom than on June; but such was not
the ca-e. Tom was almost cheerful, while
his wife was a prey to the deepest grief.
Now Tom only had one object In life
to devote himself to June, to heap love,
affection, caresses upon her, to prove to
her lieyond all doiu.i now u"'"'i
entirely she occupied his heart. And
June, if she remained sad. thoroughly ap
preciated his kindness and tenderness, ana
was always ready to reciprocate it after
a gentle and subdued fashion, very differ-
vwinettish manner or
em i nun u j . - . , . . , ,
old Time would doubtless bring that
back, but it would have been strange and
unnatural that she should so sooif i forg
Her heart had returned to its old alle
giance. Tom was again the one man in
the world whom she loved and whose
existence was necessary to her. ne
.he thought of her dead young hero it
was with the tenderness of
muI the conld thank God. oh. how terrent-
l t that no word had ever been spoken
between them that might tarn! h her
memory of him or cause her a single pang
of self-reproach.
Mr. and Mrs. Carslake were their only
guests, and thoroughly congenial ones.
Madge's brightness and gayety, tempered
by her sympathy for her cousin's distress,
made her presence most welcome to June,
and Mr. Carslake, who possessed a very
kind heart and considerable tact, was ex
cellent company for Tom. He was, more
ever, an excellent sportsman, and, with
hla host, enjoyed the capital sport which
the place afforded. Madge was exceed
ingly happy. Being neither quite so sen
timentally Inclined nor so exacting as her
cousin by disposition, she was in no dan
ger of suffering disappointment or
lusionment, and was perfectly satisfied
with the very real if undemonstrative-in-public
affection of her lord.
"I am sure," she said, laughing, to June,
"any one might think that you and Tom
were bride and bridegroom rather than
Robert and I. As for Tom, I K-lieve he
must have been taking lessons in the art
of love making, he does it so well."
Tom and Madge had made up their dif
ferences and were on the old affectionate
terms again.
One morning as the four were sitting at
breakfast, the letters, unusually late, were
brought in. Presently the rest of the
company were startled by a whoop In the
old style from Madge, as she started up
and executed oue of the pas seals dear to
the days of h-r youth, but which she had
relinquished since she had arrived at the
dignity of the marriage state.
"Madge!" remonstrated her husband,
pretending to look shocked, but inward
ly amused.
"This letter," cried Madge, waving it in
the air, "contains the most delightful
news in the world news that will till each
of your separate and nil your collective
hearts w 1th joy when you hear it. I will
not take up your time by asking you to
try and guess, lecause you never would.
Our dear Agnes is about to become a
ltlshoeKS. Rut do not, my loves, lie too
elated by the grandeur of the connection,
lie is only a colonial bishop. Listen to
mother's letter.
" 'It seems that Agnes produced a great
impression upon him when he saw her a
year ago at the Murstons". He thought
lier so very sweet, nnd was so struck by
her earnest interest in mission work. So
he begged Mrs. Marston to liivitethem to
meet again, and promised to her the day
In-fore yesterday. She is to accompany
him to Africa In the spring. It will be a
great trial to pnrt from her, .socially ns
we have already lost one of our dear chil
dren, but. If it is for her happiness, we
must not consider ourselves.
"Fancy Aggie Bishopcss of the Canni
bal Islands!" cried Madge; "perhaps they
will cat her some day. I wonder if a
sweet woman tastes better than an ordi
nary one? I remember quite well meeting
the bishop at the Marstons' and thinking
him oue of the most odious and domineer
ing wretches I ever saw. He is very small,
w ith coal-black eyes and lieard, and a com
plexion of a decidedly liverish hue; he
looked as though he might have Improved
it with soap and water if he cared to, but
I don't think he did care. lie had a de
lightful conviction that ninety-nine out
of every hundred souls would go to a
naughty place, and he looked as if he had
a fiendish temper. So Aggie's sweetness
will have full scope."
Msriire uttered her tirade with such a
mixture of drollery and malice that even
Tom burst out laughing.
I .ate In the afternoon, when he was sit
ting in his wife's boudoir before dinner
he had resumed this old affectionate cus
tomJune said, leaning her head against
his shoulder:
"We must give Agnes a very handsome
wedding present," And then, with some
thing akin to her old playful manner, "It
will be a thank offering."
"We will give her whatever you like, my
darling," answered Tom. "It Is Just as
well, perhaps, that she Is going away,
but," with emphasis, "whether she goes or
stays, no one shall ever come between my
wife and me again."
"Do yon swear it?" said June, looking
earnestly Into his eyes.
"I swear it. So help me heaven," h
answered.
And, to ratify his bond, he took her In
his arms and kissed her sweet, pale face
fervently again and again.

I can't recall the day that I bare not
known my wife. We were children to
gether In our lovely home in the Blue
Hills. By some freakish relationship,
for which one of our ancestors was re
sponsible, Jane Merriam was nominal
ly my aunt, though several years my
junior. Her father and mother died
before she was 12, and from that day .
on she made her home with our family, i
with whom she was connected by dls- j
tant blood ties. I was away at school
at the time of her bereavement and
npon returning for vacation found het
at the old Marcelllne homestead. "Aunt .
Jane," the younger ehildrcn called her, j
and I soon fell into their way, although '
she was Jennie to me, and wo were
playmates.
"Aunt Jane" was a beautiful child,
with dark hair and rich gray eyes, and
she hud grown Into a handsome girl,
when at the expiration of my college
term at Richmond I returned to my
home In the Blue Hills to hang up my
shingle as a lawyer. It was just a year
before the breaking out of the war. I
was getting along famously, when all
my calculations were '1'iset, and I en
listed In a company of volunteers from
our little place to help Iee defeat the

It was on the day of my departure
that Jnne Merriam gave me that
haughty answer, with which my story
begins.

her I was going away that night, "Ml

and kittenish ways. She shed blltei
tears and kissed her farewell. With
out much coaxing on my part she
promised that she would wait for m
till the end of doom to become my wife.
So I went away happy after all, for
sweet Lucy's promise was the tnl's
man that strengthened me and hade
me hope In the terrible days that fol
lowed. Several gushing, girlish letters came
from her In answer to my passionate
avowals of undying love and fealty.
How they sweetened the hardships and
dull, aching moments of those Inter

Months passed without a word from
home. Then a letter came from Lucy,
postmarked New York. It bore the
marks of having been opened, censor

Information, before It was sent to Its

Lucy had been sent to New York by
her parents to some of Aunt Jnne's re

loin her. but she chose to remain with
my fattier and mother and the smaller
children In the dear old, desolate Mar

friend received a letter from home. I
caught him reading It In a corner of
our tent by the light of his pipe, for
the sun was Just going down behind
Oulp's Hill.
"From home?" I asked anxiously.
"Yes, from Annt Jane. She sends het
love to you and bids yon not to grow

"Any word from Lucyf
"None."
I had never known Charlie to be so
reticent -about his letters, which lie
usually banded me for perusal. But
this I saw blni put away in his breast

In the days that followed I had little
time to wonder what bad made my
mate so downhearted and gloomy. Then
came that memorable day In July,

body lay tn a long trench with hun

A Queenly Milkmaid.
The Queen of the Belgians and Prin
cess Clementine, while driving in a
pony-cart one day last summer, had a
charming rural adventure, which the
London Tost describes:
They stopped at a farmhouse to buy
a glass of milk. Nobody but an old.
pnralyeed woman was in the house,
and she replied that no milk was left
in the Jugs, and that she was unnble
to go to milk a cow.
"Never mind," said the queen; "If
you will allow me, I will go to the pas
ture. Just tell me where the Jugs are."
"But, my dear lady, you are from
the town, and you will never be able to
milk a cow," objected the old woman.
8he was mistaken, however, for a
little later her majesty returned with a
half-filled Jug. Meantime, Princess
Clementine had laid on the table three
bowls, a loaf and the needful knives
and plates. The old farmer's wife was
served by the princes, who. It appears,
greatly enjoyed the adventora.

Here Is n would-be sulcido arrested in
his deadly attempt. He was a sheriff, and,
aeeord'nsr to the Roman law, a baililT him

eaped prisoner; and if ttio prisoner break

for three or lour years, then tho sheriil
must bo ennuujo;ird for three or four
years, and If tlm prisoner breaking jail was
to have suffered capital punishment, then
the sheriff must suffer capital punishment.
The sheriff had received especial charge to
keep a sharp lookout for l'aul and Silas.
The government had not much confidence
In bolts and bars to keep safe these two
clergymen, about whom thero seemed to
be some'tiliig strange and supernatural.
Suro enoyj'h, by miraculous power, they
are free, and t je sheriff, waking out of a
sound slc'p, ud supposing these mluisters
have run away, and knowing that they
were to die for preaching Christ, and real
izing that ho must therefore die, rathei
than go under the executioner's axe on the
morrow and suffer public disgrace, resolves
to precipitate hisown decease. Jhit before
the sharp, keen, glittering dagger of the
sheriff could strike his heart, ono of the un
loosened prisoners arrests tho biadu by the
command. "Do thyself no harm "
In olden times, and where Christianity
had not interfered Itli it, suicide w;is
considered honorable and a sign of cour
age. Demosthenes poisoned himself when
told that Alexander's ambassador had de
manded tho surrender of tho Athenian
orator. Isocrates killed himself rather
than surrender to Philip of Macndon.
t'ato, rather than submit to Julius Cesar,
took his own life, and three times after his
wounds had been dressed, tore thorn opeu
nnd perished. Mithridntes killed himself,
rather than submit to Fompey, tho con
queror. Hannibal destroyed his life by
poison from his ring, considering life un
bearable. Lycurgus a suicide, Itrutus a
sulcido. After tho disaster of Moscow,
Napoleon always carried with him a prep
aration of poison, and ono night his
servant heard tho ex-emperor arise, put
something in a glass and drink it, and
soon nfter tho groans aroused nil tho at
tendants, and it was only through utmost
medical skill that ho was resuscitated.
Times have changed, y.t tho American
conscience needs to bo toned up on the
subject of suicide. Have you seen a paper
In the Inst month that did not nnuounce the
passage out of lifo by one's own behest?
Defaulters, alarmed at th idea of exposure,
quit lifo precipitately. Men losing large
fortunes go out of tho world because tiiey
cannot enduro earthly existence. Frus
trated affection, domestio infelicity, dys
peptic Impatience, anger, remorse, envy.
jealousy, destitution, misanthropy, arc
considered suilieient causes for abscon 1
ing from this lifo by Paris green, by lauda
num, by belladonna, by Othello's dagger,
by halter, by leap from the altutmont of a
bridge, by llroarms. More cases of felo
do se In tlio Inst two years than in any two
years of tho world's existence, and more
in tho last month than In any twelve
months. Tho evil is more nnd more spread
ing. A pnlpit not long ago expressed some
doubt ns to whether thero was really any
thing wrong about quitting this lifo when
It became disagreeable, and thero arc
found in respectable circles people apolo
getic for tho crimo which l'aul in tho text
arn-sted. I shall show you before I get
through that sulcido is the worst of all
crimes, and I shal' lift a warning unmis
takable. Hut in tho early part of this ser
mon I wish to admit that some of the best
Christians that have ever lived have com
mitted self-destruction, but always In de
mentia, and not responsible. I have no
more doubt about their eternal felicity
than I hnvo of tho Christian who dies in
his bed in tho delirium of typhoid fever.
Whilo tin shock of the catastrophe is very
great. I charge ail thoso who have ha 1
Christian friends under cerebral aberration
stop off the boundaries of this life, to have
no doubt nhoat their happiness, Tim dear
Lord took thorn right out of their daed
and frenzied state into perrect safety. How
Christ feols towards tho insane you may
know from tho way Ho treated the de
moniac, of fla lara and the child lunatic,
and the potency with which Ho hushed
tempests either of sea or brain.

gift of second sight. His attainments,
climbing up ns ho did from tho quarry and
the wall of tho stone mason, drew forth
the astonished admiration of Kneklan I and
Murchison, the scientists, and Dr. Chal

spellbound while ho told them tho story o!
what he had seen of Ood in "The Old lied
Sandstone." That man did more than any
other being that ever lived to show that
tho Ood of tho hills is tho God of tlio Bible,
and he stuck his tuning-fork on tho rocks
of Cromarty until ho brought geology and
theology accordant In divine worship. His
two books, entitled "Footprints of tho
Creator" and "Tho Testimony of tho
Bocks," proclaimed tho banns of an ever
lasting marriage between genuine sclenco
and revelation. On this latter hook ho
toiled day and night. through loveof nature
and love of God, until ho could not sleep
and his brain gnve way, and he was found
dead with a revolver by his side, tho cruel
Instrument having had two bullets ono

that stib'ido is on the increase. What 1-t
tho cause? I charge upon iutl leiity an I
agnosticism this whole thing. If tbe.-c be

ful without reference to how wo live and
how wo die, why n.it move back the fold
ing doors between this world and the

your most solemn reflections. There has
never been a caso of sulcido wliero tile
operator was not either d"inentec, and
therefore irresponsible, or nn inn lei. I
challenge all the ages and I challeng tho

You say it is a business trouble, or you
say it Is electrical currents, or It is this, or
it is that, or it Is the other thing. hy not
go clear back, my friend, and aeknov. ledge
that in every case It is tho abdication of
reason or tho teaching of inlidelity, which
practically says: "If you don't like this
life get out of it, and you will land either
in annihilation, where thero nro no notes
to pay. no persecutions to suffer, no gout
to torment, or you will land where thero
will bo everything glorious and nothing to
pay for it." Inlidelity has al viys been
apologetic forself-lmmolation. After To:n
Paiue's "Ago of Season" was published
and widely rend there was a marked in
crease of self-slaughter.
A man in London hoard Mr. Owen de
liver his intldel lecture on socialism, and
went home, sat down, and wrote these
words: "Jesus Christ Is ono of tho we ikesi
characters in history, and tlio ISibie is the
greatest possible deception," and then shot
himself. David Hume wrot" theso words:
"It would bo no crime for mo to divert the
Nile or tlio Danube from its natural bed.
Where, then, can be tho crime in my divert
ing a few drops of blood from their ordin
ary chnnni.'l?" And having written the
essay ho loaned it to n friend, the friend
read it, wrote a letter of tliaifks and admir
ation, and shot himself. Appendix to the
same book.
llousseau, Volt aire. Gibbon, Montaigne,
i were apologetic for self-immolation. Inll-
leiity puts up no bar to peonle rushing out
from this world into the next, ill -y teach
us it does not make nny difference how you
live hero or go out of this world: you will
land either in an oblivious nowhere or a
glorious somewhere. And inlidelity holds
tlio upper end of tho rope for tho suicide,
nnd alms tho pistol with which a man
blows his brains out, nnd mixes the strych
nine for the last swallow, If infidelity
could carry tho day and porsuado tho ma
jority of pooplo In this country that It does
not mnko any difference how you go out
of this world you will land safely, the
Totomno would be so full of corpses the
boats would be Impeded In their progress,
and tho crack of the suicide's pistol would
be no mofo alarming than the rumble of a
street car.
I havo sometimes heard it discussed
whether the great dramatist was a Chris
tian or not. Ho was n Christian. In his
last will ami testament ho commends his
soul to God through the saerillce of Jesus
Christ.
Would God that tho coroners would be
bravo in rendering tho right verdict, and
when in a caso of irresponsibility they say:
"While this man wis demented l;o took his
life;" in the other caso say: "Having read
intldel books and attended infidel lectures,
which obliterated from this man's mind all
appreciation of future retribution, ho com
mitted self-slaughter!"
Havo nothing to do with an infidelity so
cruel, so debasing. Como out of that bad
company into tho company of those who
believe the Bible. Benjamin Franklin
wrote: "Of this Jesus of Nazareth have
to say that tho system of morals Ho left,
and tho religion Ho has given us nro the
best things tho world has ever seen or is
likely to see." Patrick Henry, the electric
champion of liberty, says: "Tho book

medical scientist what did ho say? "The
