The case which was tried the fall of that year and ho was conyicted was annealed to the | State Supreme Court. This tribu nal upheld the sentence of the lo wer court and now the fate of the doomed man seems to be hanging on a slender thread. At one time Rivers was registered among the ; best members of St. Luke church now pastored by the writer. '"He was highly spoken of by white and colored, even at the trial in which he was convicted. It was a pa thetic sight when I called ppon - him at- the- iail and foii"^ that he was leady to meet his God.

' i i Consecration, "Consecrate me now to thy servite Lord." * The person who aspires for* the bishopric should really be set aside or ledicated to the services of God. It does, not follow that, because a - nerson has been ordained in the . hristiaTrrrriiTisrryTPnrt he has dedcated his life to God. Jesus says "Ye must be born agidn." The Holy Spirit is a frequent visitor ;o the child of God. The person ho expects to lead the chddhen of God, minist' r ial?and?laity in The Church of A,Hen -should be Consecrated. He should yield his whole life in the services of God and His Church.
