X ) v ?- W , <??a??miii mi MMMODnana HOARY LEGISLATOR TALKS OF CAREER! Former Senator Cornelius Cole, 99, of California, Was Member of House When Battle of Gettysburg Was Fought New York, July 7.?Age is as it is! Ninety-niiuT years and something over lying behind the grand old man of the Golden State, former senator from California. Cornelius Cole, have brought him not age but an assortment of colorful experiences that he moves about over the checkerboard of memory. When Gettysburg was won and the thirty-eighth congress was sitting, he ms member of the house. When Uncle Joe Cannon was about to enter his long sevrice at the capitol the Californian was just finishing a term in the senate. In the days of the bonaza kings Leland Stanford, Collis P. Huntington and George Hearst, he was United States attorney in California. When the old party was a young party he was a member of the Republican national committee. He was an intimate of the grandfather of Republican Hamilton Fish, Jr.. Lincoln was his friend. By which you will understand why his thin hair is the color of December snow. Eager as a Boy 'j But remember, if you please, thst his eyes are as eager as a boy,s, his; hand clasp is an athlete's and there is vibrant youth in his voice. He spoke of the old days in California: j "There was plenty of excitement for it was a time of rough men and rougher ways. Yet during the whole of my term as United States attorney I never carried a g:un. Guns were a part of the wardrob'e, I never could make it seem that one went with my office. "I had read law under William H.: Seward and after I graduated from Weselyan in 1847 I went west. From 1856, the first year of its participant in national affairs, until 1860, I was a member of te Republican national committee. We kept California in the Union when the Confederacy, threatened to go out. "It was in the midst of the war in November, 1862, that I was elected to .the thirty eight congress*.'* The msot treasured moment of his long life, he said, was that which brought him to the side of Lincoln when he made his farewell address at the dedication of the national cemetery at Gettysburg. Describes Gettysburg His face lightened with recollection as he described that day. j "I can see Lincoln now straightening up his immense height; letting the old-fashioned traveling shawl 6lide from his shoulders. "The oration of the day had been finished by Edward Everett of Massachusetts. No applause broke the brooding silence of the cemetery. I don't know whether that silence was pre-arranged but it was very fitting. "Mr. Lincoln's voice \/as not the sort you'd expect from a giant like him. It was rather high i^nd sweet, but not out of place. "I believe that speech to be the greatest piece of spoken English in the history of oratory. A strange set of circumstances decreed that it should have been heard at a timcj and in a place where recognition of it had to be withheld by those who listened." Rapt Dry Law Senator Cole turned his attention to modern matters, among them the Eighteenth amendment. He twinkled as he made this statement: "I've always had wine on my table. I like it and it agrees with me. But the amendment is a big question; one I never thought a matter for consideration of the founders of the fundamental law. "I believe that if that assemblage of which George Washington was chairman in Philadelphia, in 1787, made it a basic law of the republic, it would have been ignored." The Nineteenth amendment failed to draw his unqualified approval as well. He explained: "I do not think the voting privilege is adequately restricted as matters 1^^ stand now though I would not think B of permitting a man to exercise the right of suffrage as head of a unit of V society and deny the same privilege H to a woman similarly placed. "T n m nr?+ euro fViaf nnivprtial C11 f Ifrage is what the country most needs.

[CRIME OF MURDER MUST BE PUNISHEC i Says Dr. Hallman Who Declare) Human Law Should Not be More Mercfiul Than Divine Law j The Spartanburg Herald, June 20. i "The Cry of Thy Brother's Blood' was the subject of a strong sermor last night by Rev. S. T. Hallman, D I)., pastor of the Lutheran church Using as texts the 9th'and 10th vers ; es of the fourth chapter of Genesis "Am I my brother's keeper? Th< voice of thy brother's blood crietl ! unto me from the ground," and th( fourth verse of the 142nd Psalm. "N< ( man bared for my soul," Dr. Hallj man said in part: History records no greater evidence of the Edenic sin and the depravity of man than that of the tragedy ne2" the gate of Eden. Here men who had heard the voice of God and had close knowledge of His creative power, quarrelled over his religious offerings, and the earth was made to drink the blood of one of the noblest of the race. The picture is too horrid and toe revolting for contemplation, and the story never would have been told but for the serious lession it unfolds. Yes, brothers, the first of the race, allowed difference to grow into madness. and that madness becomes murderous hate, and God-given life is destroyed. And, then, unblushing falsehood, and Satanic craft, attempts to cover up that fearful deed, and thus to evade the consequences of that sin for which he could never atone. But denial is useless. The voice of the Eternal God, in its penetrating power, rings out the verdict: "The voice of thy brother's blood crieth ? J UI11U me JL1 U III Lilt' ^lUUUU. UUU knows; the evidence of Cain's guilt rises up to heaven; and the law's demand must be met. That law crieth out "Whosoever sheds man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed." Down through the ages that eternal decree has been verified; and it seldom, or never, happens that the murderer escapes the penalty of his guilt. Sometimes days, months and many years may pass, but "murder will out," and Divine retribution comes at last. God hao put an infinite valuation on human life, and none may touch that precious stream without paying the penalty sooner or later. Even the ancient heathen knew that, and the record of the centuries gone by verifies that fact. When a viper fastened on Paul's hand, on the island of Melita, the "barbarians" said, "No doubt this man is a mur rinyn*. -ii-Vinm hp hath escaned V4\.-& V,i. * T? J. the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live"; and, not until Paul shook it off and no ill effects followed, did they'change their minds. The taking of human life is a fearful wrong?a sin against God and humanity, and should meet its deserved punishment. The law of God never condoned it, and why should human law do otherwise? ' Cold-blooded, deliberate murdjer should never fail to meet its just penalty?its God-ordained punishment. All this maudlin sympathy, this conjured-up insanity plea, or this self-defense business amounts to little more than an excuse for crime. A self-defense killing, in the strict est sense, rarely occurs once in a hundred times, if ever. Often the | murderous man pursues a course of 'conduct intended to bring about an opportunity for the commission of the crime on which he is bent. When God says, "Death is the penalty for actual murder," no man has any right to set aside that eternal law. i And don't forget that when murder comes into a family it seldom leaves it, but goes down through generations yet unborn. Blood never left David's family; and that crucifixion imprecation, "His blood be upon us and our children," has lived dowr through almost twenty centuries. ! Oh! that men would curb then passions, hold in check their vile tempers. and avoid the stain of a broth' er's blood. I There is, however, a greater sir with respect to our fsllowmen thar ! that of killing the body, and that is Soul murder. Not in the sense o1 causing the soul to cease to live, bu" of bringing it under the eternal eurs< , of God. Those whose life and con duct lead children and young peopl( into sin. and down to ruin, are sou murderers. We often wonder hov 1 1 r>1 iKnvo \7 loa/ oiner peupit win vibuv^iuuwj others astray from God and the righ j and fail to recognize that "Man is hi j brother's keeper." Men are oftei heard to say, "All the harm I do, do to my self," but that is not true : "For no man 1 iveth to himself, and m | man dieth to himself." Every day o your life, and of mine, bears som t relation to the life and the destiny o j some other human being; nor can w I evade this responsibility. >! When tempted to persuade a felI low being to become a party to any s wrong act, remember that your sin j will be helping to murder a soul. I To encourage those about you to any I and all acts of a questionable nature tends in the same direction, and God ' will one day call you inio accouni 1 for your influence over others. The . same is true of those who cast doubts . upon the word of God and cauise the - young generation to drift away from , the church of Christ; and even more 3 criminal is it to inculcate low moral! 1 tendencies?that is simply stabbing i ^ ' 1- 1- A -p^,.! ; immortal SOUIS cit-accu 1U1 : ) loftier aims and purposes, souls for! whom Jesu-s died. Our obligations as Christians bind ; l us to do all we can for souls. The sad wail of the Psalmist indicates I - the neglect of many along this line ; of duty. Not without a purpose was j , it written, "Xo man cared for my soul." Here is pictured a suffering soul in deep sorrow, overwhelmed1 > with a sense of need, looking for u^Ivn l?v,n-;r,rir incfrnofinn in richt. j llt'lw, - v/i iuwuuvv.v.i ... .0 j j eousness, and yet finding none to} i help. t We recall a touching story of a [ woman, under deep conviction of sin, not knowing how to find Jesus, , and, when her burden became very great, she left her loom and rode ; seven miles on horseback to beg a professed Christian woman how to i find the pearl of great price! Verily. "No man cared for my soul.'' Did you ever stand in ' the very: presence of sin crying out for soul-j death, and the law screeching, "Ven-j geance, vengeance!" and yet you did! not know how, by faith, to clasp the cross and live? Then you can un- j soul tnat causea mm iu leave mc ninety and nine in the wilderness and go after that which is lost, until He find it." | All around you are needy souls, souls burdened with doubt and sin ?souls crying out for the living God and yet compelled to say, "No man cared for my soul." ! Now, what response will you make to this plaintive wail? We owe it to our Lord to help in saving the lost: and the value of a soul demands that we rescue the perishing. Were you J .looking on the face of a dear one inj danger of death would you not do all! in your power to bring relief and to j save life? Then, listen to the cry of souls in danger of eternal death, and bestir yourselves for humanity and God. If John Knox had reason to cry out ?*i-T. - ii ii.. f . r ?? v i . wun an uie leivox ui nis gieao ?uui,j "0 Lord, give me Scotland, or I die," then the greater is the need that we, too, cry "0 Lord, give us souls, or we die." Morally and religiously, America is trembling in the balance; sin holds high carnival, the plague is in the camp, and souls are dying. i Take the golden censor, rush be. tween the living and the dead, and 'stop this maddening tide which is 1 sweeping on to sin and death. 't , "Rescue the perishing, Care for the dying, Snatch them in pity J From sin and the grave."
